Satan's Saucers

Some researchers have come to the conclusion that the UFO phenomenon is Satanic in origin, and that just because we can't explain where the aerial aberrations are coming from means that they *must* come from the depths of hell. As you can tell from my tone right now, I don't personally agree with this on the grounds that ufonauts don't usually tend to behave in a manner that would be recognised as exclusively demonic. Sure, there are some connections - The experiments performed on Betty Hill during her abduction are identical to the tortures allegedly thrust upon sinners in the bowels of hell if a medieval woodcut is to be believed. Today, however, I'm going to cover one of the most bizarre cases in which ufology and demonology seemingly cross paths.

## Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!

Originally published in a 1922 issue of the Lincoln, Nebraska *Daily Star* newspaper - the story in question begins when an anonymous witness allegedly saw a large, spherical object fall from the sky and land close to his house. Although the source doesn't specify, I must assume that the witness was outside at this point, as he didn't need to approach the landed UFO to see an 8ft-tall humanoid step out of it. It apparently looked evil, and he certainly felt that it was malevolent in temperament. Deeply religious, the witness immediately assumed that the apparition before him must be none other than the Devil himself...

Drawing on the extensive lessons that he had learned from the Bible, he mumbled '*get thee behind me, Satan*' and swiftly turned his back on the monstrosity. As he swivelled away from the ostensibly-infernal ufonaut, he suddenly became aware of a disc-shaped object make its way down from the sky and hover above him, as if to protect him from the demonic entity. Adding credibility to his likely assumption that he was witnessing a battle between the forces of heaven and hell, a voice from the flying saucer above him apparently started quoting Biblical texts.

As one might expect, the words of the pious paranormal pilot greatly deterred the demonic giant from its infernal plight. Eventually resorting to beat a hasty retreat from the scene, the demon took off on foot and rapidly disappeared. Refusing to let the entity that he was now definitively referring to as '*the devil*' run away without being punished for its wicked ways, the devoted witness gave chase.

He tracked the diabolical giant back to its rounded aircraft, and along the way he noticed that it had left tracks comparable to hoof-prints - and that it had seemingly moved straight through a barbed-wire fence. This fence was '*left burning hot, and severed as if it had been burned through with a welding torch*'. Although it is not explicitly stated in the report (I am getting this information second hand due to being unable to locate the newspaper article in question), I think it is safe to assume that both the angelic aircraft and the demonic dirigible vanished promptly - as such anomalous craft are often wont to do.

Bigfoot and the Glowing Sphere

A white, Bigfoot-like creature was seen on one 1973 night in Pennsylvania. It appeared to be carrying some kind of glowing orb, and was associated with the appearance of a silvery UFO. There is a long and highly unusual history of Bigfoot-like entities emerging from UFOs in the surrounding area.

## The Incident

The humanoid was covered in white fur, and had glowing red eyes. It appeared to be holding a glowing large, luminous sphere in its hands, and was 8ft tall. This is the bizarre sight to which two girls in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, bore witness at 21:30pm on the 27th of September 1973. After seeing the frightening figure, the girls bolted back into the house and their father went out into the woods in an attempt to track down the creature. He was gone for over an hour, and when he returned he refused to talk about what he had seen.

At the same time as he was in the woods, several nearby people claimed to see a silvery object hovering over the forest, and at one point it apparently emitted a beam down into the woods. This unique, but sadly short report was submitted by Stan Gordon in the *Mufon UFO Symposium* of 1974.

Judge, Jury and Reptilian Humanoid

You might dread getting called to court over a traffic violation, but you probably have it easy compared to what a California man who spoke to MUFON allegedly went through. Not only was he made to attend a court proceeding thanks to motorised mishap, he was brought before a judge who apparently revealed herself to be something other than human...

## Trial by Lizardman

He was stood about 10-15ft away from the judge, who was wearing a long black robe as one would expect to be seen in such a setting. Suddenly, the judge seemed to briefly morph into 'a reptile' before once again assuming human form over the course of roughly 5-10 seconds. According to the witness, at all of the 15 other people in the room noticed the bizarre event, and the court date was promptly rescheduled. However, the judge recused herself and refused to see him again by the time the next date came around - instead getting the bailiff to tell him to return on the next scheduled date. He '*never saw the judge again in my return visits to the court*'.

He did '*not see her hands at the event as they were on the desk and were blocked by the podium where I stood. No words were spoken during the shape change*'. Despite the lack of exact description of the reptoid's appearance given in the source, the unnamed man is apparently quite sure of what he saw - and was presumably pretty frightened of what he had seen seeing as he only told two other people about it at the time. '*I saw what I saw. I will never forget it*'.

Spring-Heeled Jack Drives Four Italian Soldiers Insane

It is December 1919, and castle Godego’s great arsenal and stockpile of gunpowder has been left unguarded. The castle of Godego lies near the Italian town of Castelfranca Veneto. The sentries who were once posted there have fled in terror due to reported nightly visits from a humanoid apparition.

## The Incident

According to a report made by the Milan correspondent of the Daily Press, a soldier was mounting guard over the magazine when a luminous humanoid figure appeared roughly 20ft away from him, and seemed to be issuing tongues of flame from its head.

The sentinel sounded the alarm and the entire guard team hurried to the spot, but the spectre had vanished in the time it took them to get there. However, it seemed that this entity was quite the showman, because it swiftly reappeared shortly after the arrival of the soldiers. Terrified, the whole company fired their rifles at the figure, which then instantly dissolved into a ball of flame before finally melting away into the air.

The spectre made a sequel appearance the following night, and a Sicilian soldier of the guard approached the entity along with a number of his companions, and they made an attack on the ghastly character using their bayonets. However, their furious blows struck no tangible obstacle, and instead triggered the phantom to disappear in a few moments - leaving behind a fiery halo which quickly dissipated into the atmosphere.

As a result of the bizarre occurrence, all the soldiers fled from the spot and left the depot, stuffed to the brim with explosives, completely unguarded. In the absence of actual guards, a dozen officers instead volunteered to act as temporary sentries until an official inquiry into the matter could be performed. Meanwhile, four of the soldiers who were visited by the apparition had gone completely insane, and were then confined in the military asylum.

Body Burn in the João Prestes Filho

Event in 1946, while the world was talking about the rubble left by the destructive power of the World War 2nd, in the small town of Araçariguama, 70 km from São Paulo (Brazil), the concern was completely different. On March 4 1946. A Carnival Monday, farmer João Prestes Filho, then 44 years old, decided that the day was perfect to get three friends together and go fishing on the Tietê River. He warned his wife, Silvina Nunes Prestes, that he would be back late, but she didn't care, as she was going to a street carnival block with her family.

## Burning Body

After a busy day, João returned home at 7 pm and found it empty and dark and, tired, decided to take a shower. On the way to the bathroom, he reported that a flash came from somewhere, crossing the rooms of the building and hitting him squarely. Immediately, João felt his body burn from head to toe. Desperate and unable to touch anything for so much pain, he opened the door latch with his teeth and ran barefoot down the road to the house of Maria, his sister. Even in the street João shouted at the top of his voice “The light! The light!”, crying out for help.

Trembling and crying, João would have dropped into his sister's bed, according to the testimony of his cousin, Virgílio Francisco Alves. Malachi, city delegate, quickly arrived at the house to question the man about what had happened, despite his deep torment.

“It was nothing of this world, but an invisible thing”, João told the police chief, before being taken to the Santana de Parnaíba hospital. Virgílio believed in his cousin, since his condition was horrible: *“João was white and his skin was all toasted. His hands and face burned the most. His face even roasted. His hair, however, did not burn, nor did his clothes, ”*he detailed. After 9 hours hospitalized in serious condition, João Prestes Filho died in the hospital.

According to the autopsy report, the third-degree burns on João's body were not caused by kerosene or any other fuel; there were also no signs of soot and the fur or clothing had not even been singed. Only the exposed regions of the body were affected, such as the head, neck, hands and lower limbs, which is why the coroner ruled out the possibility of burns caused by liquid at high temperature, as it is very unlikely that other areas would not have been affected by splashes. In addition, the parts affected by the burns were wrinkled, shrunken, cracked and falling off the limbs, and the body did not smell of burning or any substance. The tests showed that there was no residue of alcohol in the man's body.

On João's death certificate, the cause of death was listed as burns. However, on January 13, 1998, the Santana de Parnaíba registry office again issued the document and recorded that the cause of death was heart failure and generalized burns.
Florida Man Meets Florida Mermaid

It was 1988, and professional scuba diver Robert Froster was looking for some underwater formations off the coast of Florida when he suddenly noticed a disturbance in the water in his peripheral vision. As if due to some unknown force, the water around him had suddenly become extremely choppy and violent, and plumes of shaken sediment spiralled up from the seafloor. Through the chaos, a bizarre figure slowly became visible...

## The Incident

He turned to look at the area of anomalously-violent water, and he could see a figure seemingly undulating its way towards him. By the time the gyrating ghoul had got within 20 yards of his position, he could see that it had arm-like appendages tipped with talons, and that these limbs were reaching out towards him. The creature continued to swim closer and closer to be stunned diver, who was soon able to make out '*a pair of unmistakable breasts*' and smooth skin on the entity's top half, and flowing hair crowning its head. Its hindquarters were covered in scales.

The aquatic enigma certainly didn't seem to be your run-of-the-mill Little Mermaid, however. Froster was terrified, and would later say that he had '*never seen such evil hate in the eyes of any human or animal before*'. Immediately making a beeline back up to the surface, Robert managed to scramble back onto his boat without ever being physically attacked by the wrathful mermaid. He would never see the creature again.

Derry's Fogman

Yes, I said ‘Fogman’ as opposed to ‘Frogman’. It’s not a typo.

## The Incident

It was the evening of September 10th, 2018, and a man was riding down a rural road in Derry Township of Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania. It was a dark and rainy night, and his car headlights caught something about 75ft ahead of him which seemed to ‘*appear out of nowhere*’. The anomalous air-going entity was in the middle of the road and appeared to be moving from left to right, and apparently the witness thought it was fog at first.

However, he quickly realised that there was no other fog in the area, and then went on to state that it was difficult to describe what he saw. Apparently it was a ‘foggy white form’ that was between 6½-7ft tall, and had a humanoid shape. It appeared to be somewhat stooped in its movement - and the physical traits that particularly stood out to the witness were its huge muscular shoulders and its small waist. There was certainly a head, but he couldn’t make it out clearly. The arms and legs were also not clearly visible.

The witness observed the entity from its left side for several seconds before it crossed the road and entered a field where it promptly seemed to disappear. The man obviously could not see its feet, and said that it moved ‘almost like it floated’. No smells or sounds were noted during the observation.

## The Curse of Chestnut Ridge

Interestingly, the incident took place only a short distance away from the Chestnut Ridge - which is famous for a wide platter of UFO encounters, Bigfoot stories and other run-ins with the unexplained.

Angelo's Electric Assailants

Angelo D'Ambros was gathering firewood in the forest near Gallio, Italy on the morning of the 24th of November 1978 when he became aware of a pair of bizarre entities hovering beside him.

## The Incident

The 61-year-old man noticed two '*extremely thin*' entities hovering next to him - one of which was roughly 4ft-tall and the other was slightly shorter. He described the spindly creatures as having large, sunken white eyes and pear-shaped heads with '*enormous ears that rose straight up and ended in a point*'. There were a pair of small tusks protruding from the sides of their mouths, and their skin was said to be yellowish. They wore '*dark, very closely fitting overalls*', and had disproportionately large hands and feet with '*extremely long*' fingers and toes.

The smaller gremlin circled Angelo while chattering in an unintelligible voice, and then its taller companion attempted to grab the man's machete. Terrified, he tried to keep his knife out of the goblinoid's grasp, but felt two electric shocks pass up his arm. Although the source does not specify, I assume this allowed the diminutive devils to snatch the blade. Evidently choosing fight over flight, Angelo attacked the goblins with one of the branches that he had previously been collecting. The two creatures quickly made a beeline away from the enraged Italian, but he gave chase like any good action hero.

He followed as the floating fiends fled through the forest, and arrived in a clearing where he saw a metallic, disk-shaped craft. He was just in time to see a spindly arm close a trapdoor in the dome before the 12ft-wide UFO shot up into the sky with a burst of red flame and sped silently from the scene.

'Alien Base: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrials' by Timothy Good
Tiger-Man in Queensland

A YouTube user by the name of ‘MIKE TAKESFLIGHT’ left a comment on a video by paranormal-themed channel ‘Beyond Creepy’ to talk about the bizarre encounter he had with a feline humanoid while working at a security detention centre in a place called Weipa in the woods of northern Queensland, Australia.  ‘*It’s absolutely vast land there with woods stretching for miles and miles*’.

## The Incident

The encounter occurred at around 3:00am in the morning. There were four security posts around the complex’s fence-line which the guards had to man - making sure that the detainees didn’t escape. ‘*I was stationed at Zulu 3 post which was situated behind the detention centre*’, from which four Lebanese detainees had apparently escaped three months before Mike started working there. He was sitting at his post, just ‘*watching a kookaburra bird swoop down from the top of the tall fence to the grass collecting bugs, lizards*’ when he heard a crash in the forest behind his post - causing all the nearby kookaburras to wake up and call. There were thousands of them, and so Mike quickly got up and ran to see what all the commotion was about.

That was when he saw what had frightened the birds. There was a ‘*cat humanoid being*’ standing two meters behind Mike’s post, and it was making its way through the trees before it saw him watching it. Noticing that it was being observed, it stopped moving and put both its hands up, which apparently resembled long claws. The entity was about 8-9ft tall, and ‘*it looked ferocious and it was built like it was made to do some serious damage*’. Mike was trying to get a better look at the thing through the darkenss, but all he could see in terms of features was the shape of a cat’s face - looking like a tiger.

After this moment, the monster walked backwards into the forest, vanishing into the darkness of the trees. ‘*I was so glad I had a 40 feet fence between me and that monstrosity. For the remainder of my time working there I kept my back faced towards the detention centre and my front faced towards the woods. This encounter I’ll definitely take to my grave*’.

'Headless Man' Aliens

A bizarre event took place in September of 1973 when a young child was woken by a strange noise. This child would come to bear witness to completely unique alien entities, never seen before or since.

## The Incident

It was September of 1973 (the Year of the Humanoids), and after being woken up by a rising-and-falling humming sound at 3:00am, a 4-year-old boy in the Kingsfield District of Woking, Surrey found a headless ‘*man*’ stood at the foot of his bed. The bizarre entity apparently had huge, 6-fingered hands and was wearing what appeared to be a tight-fitting suit of either black or dark grey colouration. Around its waist was a black belt that expanded and contracted as the thing breathed, and on its right arm was a black strap attached to a radio-like object with antennae.

The entity suddenly vanished, but the boy could still see six similar entities stood outside his bedroom door before they too vanished. Rushing to the window, the boy could see a blue-domed disc-shaped craft parked on the garden lawn. It was resting on 4-wheeled lefts, and had square black portholes. He could see the last few entities climbing a ladder back into the UFO, and he ran to wake his mother. As is always the case in these sorts of sightings, the UFO had disappeared by the time his mother got to the site.

The Bag Man

Legendary ghost in Colombia and Venezuela, associated especially with Los Llanos region, usually described as a lost soul. The legend arose in the middle of the 19th century.

## El Silbón

The **Bag Man** in a Colombia is far away, but when the whistling sounds distant, it means it is nearby. It is also said that hearing the whistling foretells one's own death at **El Silbón**

Another more disconcerting version states this son was a “spoiled brat” whose every wish was catered to by his parents. One afternoon he demands his father hunt for a deer--his favorite meat. But when the father does not find a deer and returns empty-handed, his son kills him and cuts out his heart and liver. He then has his mother cook them for dinner.

The mother finding this meat is tough starts to suspect something is amiss. She discovers these organs are her own husband’s innards and curses her son for eternity. Afterwards, his grandfather ordered the youth to be tied to a post in the middle of the countryside, and lashed him until his back was destroyed. His wounds were then cleaned with alcohol and he was released with two rabid, starving dogs set upon him. Before releasing him, his grandfather condemned him to carry the bones of his father for all eternity.

It has a characteristic whistle that resembles the musical notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B in that order. Rising in tone to F, then lowering to B. It is said that when the whistling sounds close, there's no danger, and the whistler is far away, but when the whistling sounds distant, it means it is nearby. It is also said that hearing the whistling foretells one's own death, and one may hear it anywhere at any time. In this situation, the only thing that can save the victim is the sound of a dog barking (as it is the only thing it is afraid of), a chili, or a whip. The spirit tends to take revenge on womanisers.

Many inhabitants of Los Llanos say that they have seen it, primarily in the summer, a time when the Venezuelan savannah burns in the harsh drought. The Whistler sits in the trees and gathers dust in his hands. But it is mainly on rainy or humid days that the spirit wanders, hungry for death, and eager to punish drunkards, womanizers, or sometimes innocent victims. It is said that it sucks the alcohol out of drunkards through their navel when it finds them alone and that it tears womanizers to pieces, removes their bones, and puts them in the sack where it keeps the remains of his father.

Some versions say it appears as a giant of about six meters that moves about the treetops, creaking, and emitting its chilling whistle. Inside its old and tattered sack lie the bones of its father, or according to some renditions, its multiple victims. Other versions say he appears as the shadow of a tall thin man, with a hat, and goes after drunkards most of all.

They say that the whistler can appear by a house on certain nights, drop his sack on the ground and count the bones one by one. If one hears it, nothing will happen, but if someone doesn't hear it before dawn, one person in your home will die
Blue-Eyed Dreamwalker

When he was 20, a Redditor going by the name of ‘RellekJacobs’ had a series of bizarre and terrifying nightmares featuring a very distinctive man. He was described as having ‘*long, very straight black hair, very tan, really bright blue eyes, and eyebrows like Micheal Keaton*’. This man apparently always maintained a cool and ‘*calmly threatening demeanor, even when he was furious*’. There simply appeared to be an air of evil about him, and he was always the main antagonist in Rellek’s nightmares for about a year.

## The Dream

One night, Rellek dreamt that they were walking down a street on a bright day, ‘*but all the light was almost dark*’ - which was apparently a common theme in the nightmares. Half a block in front of them, there was a woman with really curly hair. This woman was crossing a side street when the threatening man appeared from around the corner and started following her. Rellek panicked, ‘*knowing he was a threat to her, and tried to yell a warning*’ - however, they were unable to speak and nothing came out except a feeble squeaking sound. They tried to run to help her, but they suddenly found that they could barely move. The man looked back at them and calmly said ‘*this one’s mine*’ before catching up with the woman and decipitating her as Rellek ‘*watched helplessly*’. He woke with what was probably a start.

## Fearful Symmetry

About a week later, Rellek was chatting with a group of friends, and there was a girl there with really curly hair that they hadn’t met before. Someone eventually brought up the topic of dreams, and the curly-haired woman told them about a nightmare that had frightened her about a week previously. ‘She damn near perfectly’ described Rellek’s dream, but it was from the point of view of the woman who would get decapitated. She was even capable of describing the man in detail, remembering the feeling of knowing that there was someone else ‘*about half a block behind her*’, and being confused when the man said ‘*this one’s mine*’ before her head was ripped off.

Rellek would’ve dismissed this anomalous occurrence if it weren’t for the fact that they had kept the dream entirely to themselves, and so there shouldn’t have been any way that the girl knew about it.

Modern America's First UFO Sighting

Now of course it's impossible to know if the title is actually accurate, and I'm sure that I will eventually find another, earlier report - but this is the first UFO tale that I am currently aware of which appears in the records of white American settlers. I have called this the first UFO incident of 'modern America' because I know that the indigenous peoples have been encountering alien beings for thousands of years. Despite this being a 'modern' story - it takes place in 1639!

## When Pigs Fly...

John Winthrop, the governor and cofounder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, recorded what is widely considered to be the first encounter that European settlers had with UFOs in North America in his diary detailing the official history of New England. The event occurred sometime during the early months of 1639 - seeing as the governor in question wrote about the incident on the 1st of March and simply said that it happened '*in this year*'.

A '*sober, discreet*' man by the name of James Everell, along with two companions, were in a boat rowing up the Muddy River (or the Charles River, but one is a tributary of the other and so the distinction was of course going to be hazy) at night when they caught sight of a '*great light*' in the sky. It was described as flaming up when it stood still, and to be '*about three yards square*' when it did so. Oddly, when it moved it '*contracted into the figure of a swine*' and moved with swift motion compared to that of an arrow. It would move like this towards Charlestown (known as Charlton back then) and then back again - continuing to do this for roughly two or three hours.

The dumbfounded boatsmen had progressed roughly one mile down the river in their lighter (flat-bottomed barge) before this, but when the event was over they found themselves '*carried quite back against the tide to the place they came from*' without any idea as to how they had gotten there. This episode of what was ostensibly missing time implies a possible alien abduction, and certainly seems to fit with modern reports of UFO activity. Apparently many other people also saw the anomalous aerial illumination in the same area after Everell and their crew had their run-in.

Reptoid on Daytime TV

First reported on back in July of 2018, a truly chilling piece of footage appears to show a Ukrainian television co-host briefly revealing that she has distinctly reptilian eyes.

## The Incident

This anomalous incident occurred during a television broadcast produced by a New Age spirituality group called AllatRa. The broadcast lasted for a whopping six hours, and featured a man and a woman (of whom I cannot easily find the names) discussing Atlantis, spirituality and all manner of other fringe topics, presumably through the lens of AllatRa’s belief system. The woman in question briefly looks up at the ceiling before her eyes seem to blink sideways, revealing yellowish reptilian orbs before they promptly return to normal and she resumes talking. The paranormal YouTube channel which served to popularise the footage was then briefly taken down under suspicious circumstances, and the owner of the channel seems to imply that this had something to do with the Russian government.

## Speculation

Obviously, footage of ‘real’ reptilian shapeshifters is almost always obviously hoaxed or simply the product of misunderstandings by people who don’t understand how camera clitches work. However, the puzzling moment does actually appear in the original broadcast released by AllatRa - and so that rules out it being added later as a prank or hoax. If it wasn’t added by pranksters, then maybe it was added by the esoteric group themselves? Some have suggested that they might’ve done this deliberately to generate buzz around their organisation, but I would contend that the anomaly only shows up for a split-second and so I think they might’ve made it more obvious if they were going to do this. Another skeptical perspective is that this footage falls in line with almost all other Reptoid footage that I’ve seen - and that it is simply the product of either a camera glitch or the woman’s eyes reflecting light in a strange way.

I’m honestly not sure what to make of this one. Watch the video and see for yourself!

The Talking Cat

Sometime '*a few years*' before 2004, Danny was teaching an Adult Sunday School Class at the church he attended. Getting up early at 4:00am on Sunday to study the lesson that he was going to teach at 10:00 in the morning, he heard a strange voice coming from outside of the house. He would soon realise that it came from a source unlike any other.

## The Incident

He had been reading up on his theology for about half an hour before he heard a '*weird sounding voice*' saying '*I love you. Let me in*'. It was quiet enough in the house for Danny to hear it very clearly, and he paused in confusion. He heard it a second time - and this time decided to go to the door and look through the window in said door. Outside the door was '*this black cat standing on its back legs, with its front paws in the air*'. As he watched in bewilderment, the cat's lips formed the words '*like you would see in a movie that had a talking animal*' as it repeated its declaration of love and plea to be allowed into the house. He described the movement of its lips as seeming animated, and said that '*it just didn't look real*'.

Perhaps foolishly, Danny opened the door and allowed the cat to run into the house. A few hours later, he found out that an uncle of his had died earlier that same morning. Danny's daughter wanted to keep the cat at first, but quickly changed her mind out of fear when '*she heard it calling her name*'. His wife took the cat to a nearby vet, who said that it had leukemia and had to put it down. Danny never had an experience like that before or since, and yet he swears that '*this actually happened*'.

## Let The Right One In

Okay so I have some theories. The black cat is obviously a symbol of bad luck, and there is an Irish mythological spirit referred to as a Pooka which would sometimes take on the form of a cat. The creature's seeming need to be let into the house suggests that it was of a supernatural and perhaps malevolent nature, seeing as that same bizarrely-specific weakness is seen with the mythological vampires and the modern Men in Black and Black Eyed Children. Obviously this could always be a false memory, or perhaps the voice was coming from somewhere else. The fact that Danny's daughter also claimed to hear the animal talk is a monkey-wrench in this theory, however.

Why I Don't Talk To Glowing Chameleons Anymore

Luke Payne has a very odd memory from his childhood.

## The Incident

When he was five years old, he and his family were driving when an enormous, glowing white reptile resembling a bipedal chameleon stopped them. The chameleon either told the entire family something, or told Luke this thing specifically - he can’t recall, due to his memory of the event having ‘*faded a lot*’. He says that the only reason he ever recalled it in the first place was because, on the day after it happened, he told his mother and grandmother something that he ‘*was not able to or shouldn’t have been able to know*’. They apparently got upset over this, and demanded to know how Luke knew it, and so he told them - his five-year-old self not thinking it was odd at all - that the glowing chameleon told them last night. He was confused as to why they didn’t remember. They were both there and so they should’ve known about it, according to Luke.

Obviously they didn’t believe him, and Luke doesn’t really believe it either, but he still can’t work out how he knew what he did and why his mind would’ve invented such an elaborate and bizarre story, which he can still see in his mind in just the same way he sees all his other memories. He has never had an imaginary friend or ‘*anything like that*’, and only ‘*a handful of odd things*’ have happened to him elsewhere in his lifetime. Luke assumes that this bizarre event must have been ‘*some twisted type of recall showing exactly how fallible human memory is*’ - perhaps a screen memory for something even more aberrant?

Either that or ‘*a giant glowing chameleon was overly interested in our family personal business for some reason and wanted me to know…that’s why I don’t talk to glowing chameleons anymore…*’

## Analysis

You’ve heard the phrase ‘*there’s always a bigger fish*’, right? Well I think that the paranormal version of this should be ‘*there’s always a weirder case*’. If the story of the giant glowing chameleon is true and not a dream or screen memory on behalf of the witness, then I think I may have found one of the weirdest.

Lobizóns & Rooftop Madmen

Since the early days of January 2005, residents of La Playosa in Argentina have been menaced by a bizarre creature that they are calling a Lobizón (wolfman). This terrifying intruder has attempted to break into local houses while emitting blood-curdling howls. Several witnesses (all female) have brought their desperate complaints to local sheriff’s offices and fire departments, but it has so far proven impossible to apprehend the strange character.

## The Flap

'Generally speaking, it attacks dwellings in which no men are known to live, or happen to be away for various causes. It tries to break in through back yards and alleyways, knowing that only women or children happen to be present. Fortunately it has been unable to break into homes because the doors were locked' – Ana, one of the women attacked by the Lobizón to the Cordoba newspaper La Mañana.

Most witnesses describe the creature as being very tall, hairy, thin and agile. It has bloodshot eyes and wears entirely black clothing. Skeptical investigators of this phenomenon have suggested that the Lobizón of La Playosa may be an insane young man who is attempting to assault women that he has developed some kind of interest in. However, there are cases of similar beings known all across the world and all throughout history – and ‘young men’ are never caught.

As of another report also made in 2005, residents of Barrio San Lorenzo remain frightened and agitated by the apparitions of the ghostly character dubbed “Rooftop Madman” (Loco de los Techos). Given prevailing state of nervous tension, two psychologists began working with the population through the health assistance center located in the area. This psychiatric help has seemingly not gotten rid of the creature, for stories were still rife in the streets of Argentina. An elderly man told a local news outlet by the name of El Litoral that he had seen the invader in the hallways of his own home. Furthermore, a woman dwelling in the 4000 block of Entre Rios Street claims that she saw the being standing at the top of an old pine tree. Apparently, her 11-year old son fainted upon the sight of the monster.

## Analysis

This case is extremely similar to that of the Victorian Spring-Heeled Jack – an entity capable of making supernaturally large leaps and who was also usually seen wearing all black clothing. Jack’s eyes were described as burning like red fire. Another parallel case is that of the ‘Monkey Man’ of New Delhi – which was responsible for an outbreak of mass hysteria, panic and at least one death in 2001. This creature was described as hairy, semi-cybernetic and capable of unnatural agility. Just like Jack – and likely this Lobizón – the Monkey Man vanished without a trace after causing total chaos. I am calling cases of these sorts of entities ‘phantom attackers’.

Microterrestrials of Malaysia

On the 20th of August 1970, two boys in the Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, went to the spot where they had been told that a UFO landed the day before. They encountered a round, blue object on the ground – and several humanoids stood around the object. These humanoids were described as ugly, and were only three inches tall. One of the boys attempted to grab one of the humans (you know – like an idiot?) and the small being took out something resembling a gun and shot him on the hand. The boys ran to get their teachers, but the craft and the humanoids were gone by the time they returned from the site.

Later that same day, one of the young witnesses who was involved in the first encounter saw a small UFO on the ground near the school. Five of the three-inch-tall humanoids emerged from the craft. One of them, who appeared to be the leader of the group, was clad in a yellow uniform and had two horn-like protrusions on its head. The other four humanoids wore blue uniforms. The leader pointed a weapon at the witness and shot at him – leaving the young boy to black out. When the witness regained consciousness after being found lying in the bushes a while later, a small red mark had appeared on his leg where he was shot by the vertically-challenged visitor.

The town of Bukit Mertajam was now seemingly in the midst of a UFO flap – as two other boys in this same village went out to look for the small UFO and saw two tiny men perched among some bushes. One of them was on a rock and the other was on a tree branch. This time, both of the creatures were in yellow suits – but one of them apparently only had one arm and appeared to be holding a small gun. The boys tried to catch the beings, but they managed to escape. That evening, the young son of a high-ranking local police official was coming back from school when he saw two tiny figures hiding in the bushes. Like all of the other witnesses, he tried to capture the beings but was shot in the hand, receiving a small cut.

## Analysis

It is interesting to note that it seems that only children saw these beings, which draws some potential connections between this case and that of the so-called Phantom Clowns – even though the lack of adult witnesses is the only thing that the two share. A closer match, in terms of previously-documented paranormal literature, would be fairies – which are commonly associated with children in modern literature. Although this was not as apparent in traditional fairy literature, it has become prevalent in contemporary stories such as that of Peter Pan. Fairy entities that are only visible to children were popularised by Goethe's poem 'Erlkönig' in which the titular Slenderman-like assailant kidnaps a child.

A Tale of Pine Trees and a Pygmy

It was Winter of 1959, and the witness was gathering Christmas trees in Derry, New Hampshire when he encountered this diminutive and ostensibly alien entity. It did not look very human, and had a high domed forehead with green and wrinkled skin. In place of an external nose, it simply had holes and it had green ‘glossy’ dorsal spines as well as greyish-green body hair. The feet and hands of the creature were described as being 'like stumps’, and so it would be reasonable to suspect that they lacked digits. The creature sounds extremely similar to the legendary Chupacabra from this description - not to mention the fact that this thing could literally be described as a 'little green man’.

The Lion Man

On a forum thread first published on February 3rd of 2009, a user of the Fortean Times forum going by the name of ‘oweny29’ recalled a bizarre instance from his childhood.

## The Incident

He was roughly 5 years old at the time (but gave no indication of the date at the time), and he awoke suddenly in the middle of the night. For reasons unclear, he got out of bed and went into his house’s living room, whereupon he suddenly felt compelled to approach the window and open the curtains. Once he did so, he saw what he described as a man in a lion costume crouched behind the curtains on the windowsill. The feline fiend jumped off the windowsill and landed in the middle of the room, before grabbing the witness by the arms and 'dancing’ aggressively around the room. It swung him around for a while and then dropped him on the carpet. The witness specifies later that he wasn’t thrown down, but rather discarded. When the witness looked up, the cat-like creeper had vanished. All the while, the costumed character hadn’t made a sound. The witness returned to bed and hid under the covers, and there was no sign of the Lion Man’s presence by the morning.

## What Just Happened?

The witness later got some questions on the forum as a response to his admittedly-outlandish story, and he proceeded to elaborate on his story as well as refuting some possible explanations. He didn’t believe that it was a dream, as all of our minds will have presumably jumped to, as it was extremely realistic and he doesn’t remember waking up from it. The Lion Man itself was apparently tall and lanky, unlike his dad, who was the only adult in the house. Oweny says that the Lion Man’s costume wasn’t particularly realistic, but had a long and shaggy mane as well as sort-of velvety fur coloured like that of a real lion. Obviously he found the entity to be very intimidating because of its behaviour, jumping out from behind his curtain and throwing him around the room. Another commenter suggests that it could have been the result of a drunk, but very human, person dressed up as a lion - but oweny also reckons this is unlikely because of the physiological differences between the lion and the people present in his house at the time. He also specifies that the lion was totally silent throughout the encounter, which is obviously not expected of drunken people.

I Would Know That Stupid Clown Again if I Saw it

A woman named Marnie decided to relate a bizarre and disturbing experience that she had when was five years old to the paranormal investigator and host of the ‘Darkness Radio’ podcast Dave Schrader.

## The Incident

Marnie was sleeping in a double bed with her brother, who was three at the time, when it happened. She was having trouble sleeping, and was rolling around as her parents audibly watched the 10 o’clock evening news downstairs. She kept rolling back and forth until she suddenly saw a clown standing beside her bed. He was staring down at her and she could hear him breathing. It made no other noises, but did blink and so it didn’t appear to be a statue or anything like that. It was wearing a purple and green outfit with a red tie, which was clarified to not be bloody when Dave asked about it. Dave also asked if the clown was ‘*happy-looking*’, to which Marnie clarified that he was instead maniacal and scary.

Marnie lay awake for so long that when the furnace in her room turned on, she could hear the cheap satin rustling on the clown’s outfit, which was very close to the furnace. She was afraid to move, and she could hear the ‘*Johnny Carson music*’ (presumably the theme on the Tonight Show) coming from downstairs - meaning that her parents’ television show had finished. They started to turn down the lights, and it was clear that they were getting ready to go to bed. Marnie was so frightened that she couldn’t scream out for them, and instead moved her arm underneath the cover to pinch her brother ‘*in the soft part of the arm*’ to try and wake him up. He didn’t wake up, and simply pulled away from her. Marnie kept opening and closing her eyes, hoping that the next time she opened them the clown would be gone. That wasn’t forthcoming.

‘*It seemed to me that it went on for hours. And then I think I just really fell asleep out of pure exhaustion and terror.*’

The next morning, she woke up and told her parents about her harrowing experience, but they inevitably didn’t believe her and came to the conclusion that she must have been dreaming. However, her brother had a bruise where she had pinched him during the night. She never saw the clown leave, and she thinks that she must have literally passed out while she was doing the thing where she opened and closed her eyes repeatedly. The same thing has never happened again, but the experience has stuck with Marnie ever since.

‘*I stared for so long I would know the stupid clown again if I saw it but I’ve never seen anything exactly like that.*’
