WAS IT THE 'BILLIWHACK MONSTER?' Eyewitness Describes Two Harrowing Cryptid Encounters!

It would have to be huge to make the entire bus shake with each hit. When we heard whatever it was walk around the side of the bus opposite the door, we bolted back to my house!

I received the following account:

"Hi, I have two California cryptid stories for you. These events happened to me on a farm in Bardsdale, California, between 2003 and 2004.

First event: My sister, her boyfriend, and I were all drinking beer in an abandoned bus (the farm was a school farm, where they also stored their old junk). It was about sunset when we heard crunching in the orchards surrounding the bus. There are lots of animals, so we thought nothing of it. What happened next frightens me to this day.

My sister's boyfriend decided to go take a leak in the orchard. As he walked off, we heard something following behind him. After a few seconds, he came running back, yelling that something was out there. We laughed at him until we started hearing banging from the back of the bus; a couple of things to mention.

The back of the bus was completely covered in overgrowth full of spiders, ticks, rattlesnakes, and God knows what else, so no sane person would go walking through it. And this was an old three-inch-thick steel bus. You would have to be huge to make the entire bus shake with each hit. When we heard whatever it was walk around the side of the bus opposite the door, we bolted back to my house.

Second event: Skip forward almost exactly one year, late June/early July. I was standing on my porch smoking a cigarette, and it was pitch black outside. I suddenly heard something HUGE running in the field in front of my front porch. My father was 6'4”, 260 lbs at the time, and whatever this was (I never saw it) was at least twice his weight and running on 2 feet. It sounded the way a person would run, just a very, very large person.

Now this frightened me so much, I spun around to run back inside my house, except my left leg stayed straight, which caused my kneecap to dislocate, tearing all my ligaments and cartilage as well as my ACL tendon. To this day, I can't walk right, and it's all thanks to whatever the hell was running through the field that night. I’ve only told these stories to my family and very close friends." J

NOTE: There are a few historical reports of Bigfoot in Ventura County. There have been sightings in the Bardsdale area, including those in neighboring Fillmore, CA. There is also the legend of the Billiwhack Monster. Bardsdale is approximately 6 miles from where the Billiwhack Monster was reported, which some believe was a deformed Bigfoot. But then again, this may have been another upright beast. Lon

WHY IS THERE AN INCISION IN MY PALM?


"The overwhelming urge to go back to sleep prevailed. Why didn't I take a photo? Why didn't I wake anyone else up? Why do I touch it? I don't know. It was unbelievable."

I received the following account:

"This occurred on October 15, 2021, in the early morning. I live in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park, Illinois. (BTW, I live a few houses away from the Chicago Mothman sighting that the dogwalker reported to you in 2017).

I was sleeping, and something woke me up for a second. I tried to go right back to sleep, but my right hand was hurting. It started to hurt more and more, until it hurt severely. I sat up and looked at my hand under my phone light. What I saw made me say, 'No, no, no!' There was a pencil eraser-sized incision in the middle of my palm. The skin wasn't removed. There was still a small (like the point of a pencil) pencil-sized piece of skin attached to my hand. It had an orange liquid around the incision and a shiny liquid (like liquid band aid), shiny, glass-like, clear liquid over it all, about the size of a dime.

I couldn't believe what I saw. I had an overwhelming urge to go back to sleep, but I couldn't; I had to look at it again. I didn't want to look at it again. I looked at it again, and I knew it was not normal. I knew this was serious and real. I tried to wake up my boyfriend. I told him, "Get up! There's a hole in my hand!" I was smacking his shoulder. He said, "Go back to sleep, there is nothing wrong with you." He would not look at my hand. All I wanted to do was go back to sleep. I looked at it for the third time and just shook my head and said, "This is nuts!, This is crazy! The cat must have done that."

I lay back down and just would not believe what I was seeing. The overwhelming urge to go back to sleep prevailed. Why didn't I take a photo? Why didn't I wake anyone else up? Why do I touch it? I don't know. It was unbelievable.

I woke up the next morning, not thinking of it at all, not remembering anything. Until my boyfriend woke up, and said, "Oh yeah, (sarcastically) what happened to the hole in your hand?" All of a sudden, I remembered it all, and I looked at my hand immediately. Not a trace of it was there. I know what I saw, and I don't think there has been a day since then that I don't think about it, worry about it, and am freaked out about it. I've tried telling a few close friends and family. They don't even want to hear it. They tell me it didn't happen. I know what happened, I know what I saw, I know it was real. It was a perfectly surgical, perfect incision with strange liquid. I want to know what happened to me, if this has happened to anyone else. In finishing, I was not supposed to see that." O

Iowa Woman & Son Discover LIVING ORGANISMS IN THEIR MOUTHS!

"In the morning, I found something in my mouth, so I went to the bathroom and pulled out with my fingers a strange bit of tissue, an organic living animal. I don't know what it was - I put it in the drain."

I received the following account:

"It was a Fall night in 2019, I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I went to sleep, waking up around 2 am as I had read the kitchen clock. Something was off - it didn't feel right, so I got up to check the house. I, being a single mother with a son at the time, was concerned when I switched on the kitchen light. I looked at all the doors they were locked, I could clearly see. No need to check. But to my horror, the door handle turned. I saw the knob turning. I was petrified to say the least - the lock undone right in front of my eyes. The door to the outside of the lounge room was open, and the door to the garage was now open. I walked over and checked the glazed security door - odd, they were both still locked. Just the internal wooden doors opened and unlocked right in front of my eyes. I walked over and locked them, closing the door.

I knew I had absolutely witnessed the abnormal. I was scared to sleep, but I did fall asleep.

In the morning, I found something in my mouth, so I went to the bathroom and pulled out with my fingers a strange bit of tissue, an organic living animal. I don't know what it was - I put it in the drain. Then my son walks into the bathroom, and till this day, it still makes me cry. He said, 'Mum, I have something in my mouth.' I was shocked and horrified to put my fingers in his mouth to find the exact replica lodged in between his back teeth and inner cheek. I took it out, and because I was next to the sink in the bathroom, into it it went.

What happened that night? What happened to me and my son? The horror of the unknown. I speak the truth, yet I live in fear of the horror I witnessed before my eyes. What was that in my boy's mouth and mine? I only pray that my son was not harmed by something. No one believes yet that I speak the truth. I know what I witnessed. What I touched and what I discarded was not natural." D

NOTE: It seems to me that this was a possible abduction scenario. These situations are rarely singular; sometimes, entire families, over several generations, experience repeated abductions. Lon
