I received the following account on Tuesday September 19, 2017:
I'm a former Chicagoan and I was on a visit last week. I stayed a night downtown at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile (20 E Chestnut St).
During the early evening, I looked out our window from the 30th floor and saw what I, at the time, assumed was a maintenance man or something in the roof of a shorter building below ours. But, it moved too fluidly and disappeared too quickly for a man. It was gray in color and the shape I would definitely describe as a male (with no clothes). I'd say it was about 6 ft. tall. There were no unfurled wings.
It occurred on Sunday September 10, 2017 at approximately 7PM CT and the thought of it hasn't left me. I couldn't see a door or anything that would allow a person to slip out of sight. It was odd to see someone/something on a roof with no rooftop features like a pool or outdoor seating, and it didn't look like there was any window-washing, construction, etc. that would easily explain why a person was on a high rise roof and then disappear so quickly.
I told myself it was nothing and forgot about it....but on a whim I called my friend, who'd been with me, and he told me that there have been lots of sightings of humanoids in Chicago.
I immediately panicked a bit, and I have to tell you, I am very scared of things like these. I hope it doesn't mean any harm towards me or anyone else. Luckily, I live in Nashville. Are these things vindictive? I'm a humble tarot reader but I don't want to cause trouble. AL
NOTE: This is a very interesting incident, because the witness was able to see this being move about without flying. The witness later told me that she thought she was 'looking at a ghost because of how fluidly it moved around.' As far as the being disappearing...did it fly away or simply vanish? The witness has no idea how it disappeared. I believe the building roof was either the Talbot Hotel or Intermix which are across E. Delaware Pl. There is also the Rag & Bone, just below the north side of the Sofitel or the hotel's deck to the west. I'm double checking with the witness. Any updates will be included with this post.
