'Tree-Like' Humanoid Wakes Sleeping Experiencer

In 2013 I was living in Houston with my parents studying for the Bar exam. I would get up every morning around 4am to go run about 5 miles before starting my long days of studying. By the time night rolled around I was exhausted and had no trouble falling or staying asleep. My bedroom was on the first floor which was just a single room next to the garage. The second floor is where the kitchen, dining room and living room were and the third floor is where the guest bedroom and my parents room were located. My parents rarely came to my room because they knew I was either studying or sleeping.

This particular night all was normal. I finished studying, took a shower and fell asleep to the sound of 'The Golden Girls' on TV. I always set the timer on my TV so I could fall asleep whenever and not have to worry. Well later that night after dozing off I was woken up by the sound of someone breathing heavily. It sounded like someone was struggling to breathe. It was as if they had smoke in their lungs and couldn’t breathe. I knew immediately something was wrong. I didn’t open my eyes because I didn’t want whatever it was to know I was awake and I was freaked out and didn’t want to see what was there. I knew it wasn’t either of my parents immediately. I could feel the heat from the breath on my mouth. I slowly and carefully opened my eyes the slightest amount and what I saw will haunt me forever. I was wide awake by this time.

I could see this tall creature standing over me from my left. It was darker than the darkness of my room and it was breathing into my mouth. When I got a good look at it I was even more terrified. It wasn’t your normal everyday figure. (Although a black figure in your room at night isn’t normal period). It looked like it had tree branches growing out of it. It had branches coming out of its head and its arms. I can only explain it as looking like Groot from 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' but I hadn’t seen that movie at the time....if the movie was even out yet. It wasn’t until over four years later I saw the movie and immediately thought of my experience. But Groot looks harmless. He’s kind looking, Whatever was in my room wasn’t kind looking and I didn’t want anything to do with it. I knew I couldn’t just lay there and let it do whatever it wanted to do so I tried to say a prayer. I closed my eyes and screamed out the Lord’s Prayer and immediately it was gone. I slept with the lights on all night for weeks.

To this day I get freaked out when I wake up in the middle of the night, which is now very often. I often wonder about my experience. I can’t decide if I think it was a demon of some sort or an alien. I don’t usually tell people this story because they don’t believe me. But I will go to my grave swearing to it’s truth.” TW

NOTE: There have been a fair number of related encounters in recent years. Are these spirit manifestations, alien or something more sinister? Very bizarre phenomenon. Lon

Facebook event announcement: Amy Bue - Bigfoot Researcher / Investigator - Arcane Radio
This week I welcome Bigfoot researcher and investigator Amy Bue to Arcane Radio. Amy is the co-founder of Project Zoobook and a member of the Olympic Project Research Team. She's a reading teacher, writer, and editor from Ohio and became interested in the search for Bigfoot after a possible sighting in Ohio’s Mahoning County in 2012. While her main research area is in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest and Ohio’s Columbiana County, Amy has traveled to New York, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington, West Virginia, and all over Ohio following up leads. Recently, much of Amy’s efforts have been put into her Project Zoobook, a group she co-founded comprised of primatologists, zoologists, anthropologists, and other scientists working alongside Bigfoot researchers from across the country. She was given the International Bigfoot Conference’s 2018 Dedicated Researcher Award for her work with this group. Amy is an active speaker, and has spoken for events and organizations. As a writer, Amy’s articles on the topic have been published in California’s Bigfoot Times and in newsletters as far away as Norway and Australia. She is currently writing a book about Ohio’s Tom Page, one of Roger Patterson’s financial backers and a partner in his adventures. She also writes a Facebook blog under her ABLE: Amy’s Bucket List Expeditions page. In between giving time to those efforts, Amy recently completed her certification classes through the Ohio State University to become an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist. She has recently started studying with the Midwest Native Skills Institute, and she plans on using her new survival skills in her continued search for proof of Bigfoot’s existence. This will be an entertaining show!
