Mysterious 'Stone-Throwing' Activity

The following mysterious article was appeared in the New York World on January 12, 1890:

The people on the plantation of John W. Brooks, near Culpeper Court House [Brandy Station, Virginia] have been thrown into a state of terror by phenomenal occurrences in a house on the place which was until quite recent occupied by the family of Richard Moten. Moten and his neighbors allege that hot stones have been thrown into the house through closed windows without breaking the glass, and that the furniture could not be kept in any particular place by reason of some invisible influence that caused it to move about the rooms and even to travel up and down stairs. This peculiar state of things was developed last September and has continued uninterruptedly since.

The effect of sudden showers of hot stones and unexpected encounters with perambulating chairs and beds on Mrs. Moten's nervous system has been such that to save her life her husband considered it necessary to move from the neighborhood. The family came to Brandy Station and a World correspondent had an interview with the husband on the subject of the phenomena.

While protesting entire disbelief in the power of disembodied spirits to return to earth and assert their presence by impish pranks, Mr. Moten is unable to account for the strange occurrences at his former home. He contends that they cannot truly be accounted for on psychological grounds, and rather inclines to a belief that they are due to mineral magnetism, but in just what manner he is at a loss to explain. Ho continued to reside in the house despite the protests of his wife in the vain hope of discovering the source of the disturbances, and his investigations were conducted in such a manner, he says, as to leave no doubt in his mind that they were brought about, not by supernatural, but by other than human sources. Here is his version of the mysterious visitations :

"On returning from work one day near the end of September I was surprised to find my family huddled together outside the house, As soon as she saw me my wife cried out: 'Oh, Richard, the house is haunted! Stones have been dropping into the rooms all the afternoon.' Insisting that the stones had been thrown by neighbors' children, I succeeded in quieting her fears and induced her to re-enter the house with me.

"Looking around on the floor of the north room I discovered stones as large as hen's eggs lying on the floor. I picked them up and threw them out into the yard, thinking some practical joker had been trying to frighten the children. As I had cause to remain home the next day I thought I would just keep an eye open to detect the joker. About ten o'clock in the day a scream from my wife caused me to run into the kitchen, my wife lay in a faint on the floor and near her were four large stones. Picking up one of those I found it the least bit warm, and on examining; the rest I found them of the same temperature. I then sent for Mr. Brooks to come and make an examination. I showed him the stones which were scattered hero and there over the floor. Taking a chair, he sat clown to examine them. While doing so a stone that seemed as if it came through the window-glass struck Mr. Brooks on the foot. On examining this stone we found it to be hot. Mr. Brooks, thinking some one was playing a joke on us, got a gun and commenced firing at random into the cornfield to see if the mischievous person was hiding there. As the shooting availed nothing we re-entered the house to see if we would be disturbed again by the mysterious stones. After waiting for an hour or so, and as no more stones fell, Mr. Brooks left for home feeling at a loss to account for this strange mystery.

"We lived in the house for five months, and during that time the stones fell frequently. On one occasion the children were hauling walnuts under a large tree. Coming into the house to answer a call of their mother, they left the walnuts under the tree until they could return. Not ten minutes after they entered the house the walnuts came flying through the open door and fell on the floor in a shower. People in the neighborhood became afraid to come near the house. The stones seamed to come through the window-glass and also through the door when standing open. How the stones came through the glass without breaking the panes is a mystery to me. My little girl once said she saw a hand against the window just as a stone came in the room.

"While eating one evening a stone fell from the coiling over the table into my coffee. After taking the stone out of the cup I drank the coffee as if nothing had happened. My family objected to it, but I was not the least bit afraid. The same evening my little boy's spelling book was swept from his hand as if some one had snatched it from him, At this moment several stones, which seemed to come through the window-glass, fell on the floor. My brother threw one of the stones in the fire, and it immediately leaped out of the fire back into the room. He tried this twice, with the same result each time. Flat-irons would fly across the room, and articles downstairs would come upstairs on a fly over the banisters. My wife grow ill and could stand this no longer, so I moved. The house is still vacant."

Little Wet Shiny Man

San Juan Capostrano, CA - 3/7/2015: I was driving on 74 Ortega Hwy to Lake Elsinore, after work around 9:30 PM. It was raining and I turned my brights on because I thought there was debris on the road. I saw a small man like creature all wet standing there. "It" was 1-2 feet tall, muscular, dark colored like the trees, it looked shiny and not hairy but it was wet. "It" was in the middle of the road & when I turned my head lights brighter "it" turned "it's" body in my direction but I couldn't see any eyes. "It" then ran across into the forest as I passed. There was no where for me to pull over and my phone had no reception so I couldn't tell anyone until I got home. Since then I've purchased a dash cam and I intend on capturing it on film if I cross paths with "it" again. - MUFON CMS

Police Chase Runaway Unicorn

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (Feb. 26, 2016) – It certainly made people do a double-take.

Some California residents were rubbing their eyes and wondering if they were seeing things after a “unicorn” made a run for it this week.

Juliet spends her days making dreams come true, posing as a unicorn for photo shoots for Fresno-area photographer Sandra Boos. And during a shoot Wednesday night, Juliet got loose.

“She threw her head up, pulled the lead rope out of her hands and that was it. So at that point she ran off and the more we pursued her, the further she ran,” Boos told KMPH.

Everyone who saw the unicorn had a surreal experience, including police who responded to the call.

“We got a call of a unicorn running in the roadway on 12th Avenue near Road 32,” said Officer Justin Perry.

For more than three hours, Juliet ran down roads and avoided capture. A helicopter was even called in to help spot her, but nothing seemed to work. Juliet was simply too spooked to slow down.

Finally, local resident Renee Pardy remembered her horse, Shady, was friends with Juliet.

“That’s the nature of horses. They want to be in a group—they’re herd animals—and so we had been chasing Juliet, the unicorn for so long that she was looking for a friend,” Pardy said.

Juliet followed Shady into a trailer, bringing an end to the chase. And Boos finally got a sense of a relief.

“I was standing with the (California Highway Patrol) at the time and a call came over the radio that said the unicorn is in custody, and there was a huge sigh of relief, a few tears, and some laughter. It was the comedic relief needed in the moment.” - Did you see that? Unicorn leads police on 3-hour chase

Black Leopard Seen Roaming St. Andrews, Scotland

A big cat has again been reported prowling just yards from houses in St Andrews.

Drew Lumsden spotted the beast as he drove daughter Kaitlyn, 7, from their home on the south-east edge of the town to her swimming class last week.

The landscaper insisted the black animal was the size of an alsatian or labrador dog but had a feline gait and long tail.

He said: “I am 100% certain it was a cat. It was certainly no dog.”

Big cat sightings have been reported in that area before, with a flurry in 2012.

The animal spotted last Thursday evening was in a field about 300 yards from the road near the Grange Inn.

Drew said: “I was taking my daughter to swimming just before 6pm and she saw it first.

“She thought it was a fox at first but it was no fox, it was black.

“I could tell it was a cat by its head and the length of its tail. It was walking along, as casual as anything.

“I stopped to take a photograph but it was too dark and pictures came out grey.”

The pair stopped and watched the creature for more than five minutes.

Drew, who was one of several people to spot a big cat at Rathillet a few years ago, returned the next day to look for paw prints but found none.

Four years ago there were several sightings of a creature resembling a black leopard in the same area and Lumbo Den and a wooded area near Strathkinness Low Road.

Local historian and artist David Joy said he had seen the cat several times, once just yards from his door at The Grange, and had found remains of rabbits which he said had obviously been eaten by something large.

Just a few weeks earlier there were a series of sightings reported over just a few days of a creature resembling a black leopard with a 4ft long tail around Kilmany.

Fife has previously been named a big cat hotspot, with a plethora of tales of large felines roaming the countryside.

Police revealed in 2014 that they had had 10 reports in the previous two years.

One was of a man being attacked by a big cat in Strathkinness.

Many believe in the Balbirnie Beast, said to be on the loose around the Glenrothes area.

In 2006 Fife Constabulary thought it had found proof of the animal when it produced a cast of paw print which experts said may have been from an 18-month-old big cat, but others argued it could have been a large dog.

Sightings have also been recorded at Saline, Leven, the Lomond Hills, Letham, Bishop Hill and Blairadam. - Big cat spotted prowling near homes in St Andrews

LA Judge Morphs Into Reptilian

West Los Angeles, CA - 1994: I was in Muni Court and in front of Judge who momentarily changed shape into a Reptilian. Once the Reptilian sensed that I showed no fear, it expressed fear at me and then changed back into a human form. I was standing about 10-15 feet from the Judge. I felt that my lack of expression caused the Reptilian to express fear at my solemn look. My thought was of disbelief, because I was in court for a traffic violation. Nobody else in the courtroom seemed to notice the physical change of the Judge. This only took about 5-10 seconds. My case was rescheduled and the next time I was to go in front of that Judge, she recused herself and would not see me again. I saw what I saw. I will never forget this incident. I have told only 2 people of this incident. The Judge was dressed in a black robe, and her face was what changed. I 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.

The Judge did not want to speak to me after the event, but had the bailiff tell me to return at the next scheduled court date. I never saw the Judge again in my return visits to the court. There were probably 15 other people in the courtroom including court officers/reporter - MUFON CMS

Daily 2 Cents: 'Shadow People' Infestation in Military Hospital -- Horrifying Close Encounter -- Bizarre Light

'Shadow People' Infestation in Military Hospital

Hello,

I send you this email from France, from a city in the North called Rodez.

I'm sorry for my english skills, I understand better than I wrote.

I've heard about the shadow people long after I've started to see them. I'm not the only one. We're four friends, we met this year and we feel almost "haunted" by something hidden in the shadows. At the beginning, we thought it was a ghost haunting one of us, or a place but it's largest. So we found this speculations about shadows people and we knew it was it.

We're going to a school in a military hospital, with a psychiatric annex. Today, we sleep in buildings built to keep soldiers with psychic troubles.

My mum is someone with a big influence on the "supernatural" world. She see ghosts, she can feel them. She thinks I'll be just like her when I'll get older.

I just don't know if the "older" is now. I'm almost 18.

Coming back to our "guests", we don't really know what they want. We haven't seen red eyes, but my friends saw a hat. I just saw it in a corner of my eyes, it moves too quickly to be sure that I really saw something.

But I feel it. When we were in our room, one night, my bed cracked under it's weight. I felt it go down, so I'm sure something was there.

We also hear it walking, it opens doors and close it. One of my friends saw it. It was a "free-stander", tall and it was watching at us. The second, smaller, walked on my bed.

We always see a shadow, but once, I've saw something like the air get thicker in this place. And it was a human torso. Just head and shoulders.

I'd really like to know if we can protect ourselves from it. Because even if it's just watching, it start to scare us. M

NOTE: this does seem to be a 'shadow people' infestation. The location is no doubt a problem...allowing the entities to gather a variety of negative energies. There are likely more than 2 entities on the site. I gave the writer several ideas on protection and ways to calm the activity. Lon

Horrifying Close Encounter

I live in Puyallup, Washington. At the time I was living with my wife and our first son in University Place, Washington. I'd like to mention that I do not believe there are aliens from other planets. I'm more in line with the late John Keel, believing that these things are indeed happening, but they are more of a malevolent spiritual type of entities. I don't know why I never reported this before; I suppose one reason might be at the time this happened there was no internet to speak of. Another reason I hesitated to report this is because part of this whole experience seemed like it was a dream, but part of it seems like I was awake. That makes it hard for me to nail things down from a factual standpoint.

I don't recall the exact year this happened, but it was in the early 1990's. I don't recall the month, but I do remember it happened around 3am.

It started out with me dreaming that there was some sort of panic in the house; I remember hurrying back and forth from the back door to the front door to the windows because there was some sort of UFO over the house. I remember seeing it, but can't really describe it. What freaked me out more was when I looked out the front door, there were two (maybe three) humainoid figures that were dark in color (either black or very dark gray). They had no facial features or any features to speak of. Just dark shapes.

This is where it gets confusing for me because it suddenly switched to me being in bed, my wife sleeping next to me. There were one or more of the same exact entities at the foot of the bed. This is the part where I could swear I was awake. I remember looking over at my wife, who was sound asleep. For some reason I could not make a noise, even though I tried. There was a heavy weight on my chest. I tried calling out the name of Jesus, but I could not speak. The fear was incredibly strong. It was fear on a level I had not experienced before. I don't remember them doing anything to me other than what I would describe as very strong oppression and a feeling of being physically paralyzed.

At some point I was able to move and there was no longer anything in the room. My wife woke up and told me to grab my Bible and hold it close to me. So I did that, and I was able to go back to sleep. There were no other problems that night. When I woke up in the morning, I was still holding my Bible and I noticed my chest hurt a lot, like someone had punched me in the ribs really hard.

I don't have any idea what brought this on, and there were one or two other times later on where this same type of thing happened, but it was never even close to being as horrifying as the first time. - MUFON CMS

Bizarre Light

Verne in Lake Elsinore, California called in to tell of something bizarre that happened to him and his wife while visiting Canada:

“My wife and I were visiting in Barrie, Ontario in our relatives home by a lake there, near the Labatts brewery. Anyway, we had retired for the night, and I was awakened by a light coming in through the curtains, into the room. It was a single bed and I was sleeping by the wall with my wife on the other side. It woke me up but she continued to sleep. I just had a sense that something was... no noise, it was completely quiet – but I just had a feeling or a sense or something that this thing with tremendous power was approaching or coming over the house. When it was completely over the house and the light wasn't coming in through the windows anymore but I could see the light outside, I immediately fell asleep. The next morning, when I woke up, I had a headache and my wife, who slept through the whole thing, also had a headache. That's the only time in our lives that we both awakened at the same time with headaches.”

Unknown Bi-Pedal Creature Sighting: Southern Ontario

I received the following information from a previous witness (Wayne) on the evening of 2/25/2016:

This evening, my wife saw something run across the road bent over. It was just beyond the shine of the headlights. She estimated it about 6 to 7 ft. Her words were 'what the hell was that?' It crossed a 10 ft road in about 2 sec. The location was just outside Beamsville, Ontario. Around Bartlett Road and Route 81. About 5 km from last sighting heading towards Beamsville. I might add the week before we heard the loudest scary sounding wolf howl I have ever heard.

The previous sighting the witness is referring to is Yellow-Eyed Beast - Southern Ontario

I requested further information and received the following:

Not much more. But last week in that area we heard the longest scariest howl I ever ever heard.

The 2014-15 Winter sighting I posted on May 16, 2015 is as follows:

Hello - I have been following reports of Bigfoot here in southern Ontario for some time. And from some of the descriptions I think some may be Dogman reports. I personally had something happen to me. We were driving to a job site and it was snowing. Approx. 60 yards away, a dark shape crossed the road hunched over. I said to my wife to be careful, there is something ahead. Then I saw a small shaped head turn and look at the van. It's eyes were yellow - then it disappeared into the brush.

Also, a co-worker was driving out of Wainfleet, Ontario when something huge and black bound across the road. It was along the north stretch of the Welland River towards Welland, Ontario. All they said was it had the shape of a wolf. Now both are familiar with animals - it was unlike any canine type animal they had ever seen and was no way they were getting out of the car. Wayne

After receiving this email, I contacted Wayne and asked if he could add any further information:

Hi - general description for our sighting. It was seen around 12 midnight. Seen something hunched over and crossing the road. The beast was dark coloured. It stood up, then turned and looked at us with it's yellow eyes. It had to stand roughly six, maybe six and a half feet, as there is a street sign about that height. It was snowing - about a half a mile outside of Vineland, Ontario heading west. There is forest that comes down from an escarpment and farm on the other side. If you look on Google Maps, find Vineland, Ontario. Head west towards Beamsville, you will see a set of woods that dips towards the road and farmland on the other side.

I always keep an eye out for deer or coyote running out ahead of me. It kind of moved across road hunched over. When it got to the brush, it stood up and turned its head. All I could see were it's bright yellow eyes. Sorry that's about all. Wayne

Daily 2 Cents: 'Do you want to go with us?' -- 'Hatman' in my Room -- Boiling River Discovered in the Peruvian Amazon

Do you want to go with us?

Kane, PA - 1/6/1997: Witness, 5 years old, got up to get a glass of water. Returned to his room to find a "wavy blue vortex" from which a voice asked "Do you want to go with us?" He agreed and felt a tingling static sensation then found himself on what appeared to be a polished marble surface. A female ET (she had breasts) greeted him in a soft feminine voice with "Hello (name withheld) it is nice to see you again." She was about 4 feet tall with milky white skin, a small nose, no lips (he thinks), and almond shaped eyes that were not as large as a typical gray. He was led up a staircase to a hall about 12 feet wide and in to an area with 12 beds, 6 on each side of the room. One bed was empty. There were hybrid (he thinks) children with medium gray skin in the beds and several were jumping on the beds. A clearly annoyed ET told them to stop jumping.

The female ET escorting him gave him a medallion like one she was wearing and told him she was going to help him increase his mental powers. She told him to concentrate on her inner self. She then passed through what appeared to be a solid concrete block. She then instructed him to try. He was able to go only part way through and she had to pull him out. She told him to try again and the second time he was successful. She told him that he had mastered it faster than she did. She took back the medallion.

She next led him through a door that opened by sliding up. where he met a male ET who was taller than the female and had "Native American cheek bones." The witness states that the male was holding back his emotions. There were windows in this part of the craft and he could see out into space. There were also controls of some type in this room. He could see through a window in the floor into an area with a machine which he believes was the teleportation device. The craft was a disk and the size of "4 aircraft carries end-to-end."

An old ET entered and said it was time to leave. Everyone became sad. He woke up in his bed neatly tucked in. No one had ever tucked him in before.

When he was 8 years old, he saw the same type of craft and said that when it ascended, it was gone in the blink of an eye. He estimated the speed at '60,000 miles an hour." He stated that they have craft the size of small planets and the one that was recorded drawing plasma off our Sun is one of them. The video is on YouTube.

On one occasion, he was shown a vision in which he saw 4 disk shaped craft and hangars as if on a military base. There was a crowd of people who all appeared to be in a trance state walking into a craft. He pretended to be in a trance also and boarded with them. In side there was a bench on the wall and happy gray children sitting on it swinging their feet. Several old ETs approached him and asked him, "Do you want to come with us or stay here?" He said he wanted to go with them and they were surprised. The vision ended.

When he was 16 he had a vision of being taken to a beautiful planet where it was very bright but it did not hurt his eyes. He felt a powerful sense of peace. The houses appeared to be of Adobe. There was one building that was made of bricks that looked something like a college. It had a tower reminiscent of Big Ben. He was told that this is where they receive knowledge and store things from other planets.

On another occasion, he remembers military doctors operating on his head. A reptilian male told them to stop because the boy was in pain.

The witness is 23 years old. He has Celtic and Native American (Iroquois) ancestry. After his experience at age 5, he felt "different." He has short term memory problems and states that he often feels that he is different ages, mostly older than his years. He has had chronic nose bleeds and his right nostril is difficult to breath through. He has a cousin who has had some experiences that were not gone into. - MUFON CMS

'Hatman' in my Room

Nicholas wrote to Heidi Hollis on her Outlander radio show to tell of something bizarre he saw as a child:

My name is Nicholas. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I was lying in my bed with my little brother who was sleeping at my feet because a week earlier, he fell off of the top bunk. I remember waking up out of a dead sleep and seeing a man sitting at my desk just beyond my bed. It was dark but the closet light was on and I could see that he had a top hat and a trench coat on with his forearms on his knees. I could not see his face and at that time, I started yelling for my mother and when she entered the room, the figure disappeared. I told this story about a hundred times. It wasn't until I told my father-in-law that I found out that other people had seen this too. Just wanted to share.

Mythical boiling river discovered in the Peruvian Amazon

A mythical boiling river that stretches for four miles has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon. The river, at Mayantuyacu, was discovered by geoscientist Andrés Ruzo after being told tales about its existence by his grandfather.

Ruzo said Spanish conquistadors exploring the Amazon after killing the last Inca emperor came across extreme dangers – including man-eating snakes and a river that boiled from below, as if lit by a fire. But the Amazon basin is nowhere near any active volcanoes, and the geothermal heat needed would be so tremendous the very idea of the boiling river's existence was dubbed ludicrous by Ruzo's university lecturers and colleagues.

A report on his find by Gizmodo tells how Ruzo asked his aunt who had visited the river about its whereabouts. Deep in the rainforest, at the geothermal healing site of Mayantuyacu, he found it. The river is 80ft wide, 20ft deep and is extremely hot for about a four-mile stretch. One part even boils. Read more at Mythical boiling river discovered in the Peruvian Amazon

Phantoms & Monsters: Mysterious Encounters

Sasquatch History: Alabama

by Scott Harper - This is the second article in this series. In the previous one, I gave my reasons for wanting to write this series. It took a bit of time to settle upon what seemed to me the best way of tackling the subject of historical Sasquatch sightings. I've decided to devote one article to each of the states, and to do so in alphabetical order. Afterward, I'll move on to Canadian Provinces, and territories. Given this order, the first state to tackle is Alabama.

Alabama seems to lack much in the way of history as far as Sasquatch sightings are concerned, however. That makes sense to me, as the North American continent was settled by Europeans from east to west. Many sasquatch could very easily have moved west, attempting to stay ahead of the invaders to North America, and to avoid encounters with them.

The higher number of more modern day sightings in eastern regions are explainable by the simple expedient of mankind delving steadily further and further into wilderness areas—ones where wildlife, including Sasquatch, dwell. Given time, it only makes sense that people would have more and more sightings of, and encounters with, Sasquatch even in areas with a lower population of them. It's the same principle that has led to black bear, cougar, and other such wildlife being seen firmly inside of modern cities.

The earliest Sasquatch sighting that I'm personally aware of from Alabama took place sometime in the 1880's. A man was fishing, and spotted what he thought to be a Sasquatch. The creature fled when it noticed the fisherman. The sighting in question took place in the Horseshoe Bend region of Bear Creek, Alabama. Bear Creek is located in Marion County, in the north-western area of the state.

From there, we leap all the way to 1953. That sighting took place in the country, in Henry County, which is in the south-eastern part of the state. The witness happened to be a young girl of around 11-years-old at the time. She saw, and later described, what sounds like a pair of juvenile Sasquatch. For the dual reasons of two creatures being seen at the same time, and that both seemed to be young, this a very interesting sighting. According to the witness, one of the beings she spotted was around 5-feet-tall. The second looked to her to be shorter, probably around 4-feet-tall. Most reports are of only one creature, and the vast majority of the ones seen appear to be adults. To see multiple juveniles at one time isn't unheard of, but it is extremely rare.

Could a large percentage of the Sasquatch population on the North American continent have migrated from east to west in an attempt to keep ahead of the expansion of European settlers, as hypothesized above? Would such a thing account for the lack of historical sightings of these creatures in some eastern states such as Alabama? If so, this might also help to explain the larger population estimates of these beings in the Pacific Northwest in present day. Might some percentage of the population, upon finding too many of their numbers crammed onto the western coast, have gone back the other way, returning eastward? This, and the population growth of those who chose not to partake in such a westward migration could account for the almost total lack of older sightings in some states in the eastern areas of America, yet explain why, in more recent decades, Sasquatch have been seen there in greater numbers.

Since the year 2000, there have been a fairly steady number of sighting reports coming from Alabama—sometimes several per year. On the other hand, prior to the 1980's such reports are very few, and often far between.
