A young man, living in the Meadowlands, New Jersey, recalls an event where his 2 nephews encountered what they described as 'frog people' in their backyard.

I recently came across the following account:

"I have an interesting story that I’m not sure what to make of it. It wasn’t directly me but still creeps me out to this day. A few years back I was living with my sister for a bit. I was waiting to be sent off to boot camp (Marine Corps).

For reference, we lived on the third floor of a house in the Meadowlands, New Jersey. The backyard was pretty secure and you can look out the window and see what the kids were up to (Important for later). My sister had 2 boys at the time they were about 6 and 7. They'd go outside and play in the backyard all the time with some neighborhood kids. We are on the third floor like I said and every so often I’d look out make sure they are ok or go downstairs just to check on them.

Well, it was a Sunday evening about 6:30 PM and starting to get dark, so they are close to coming inside. I hear them scream! I look out the window and see the gate being closed. I bolt down the stairs as fast as I could...and get to the kids. The 7 year old is in shock and the 6 year old is shaking, but ok. I asked him (in a calm tone) what happened? All he said to me was 'the Frog People were talking to us.' I’m like WTF. These kids were good kids and didn’t really lie. I said, 'what do you mean?' He said, 'the frog people tried to talk to us and broke the lock on the gate. Then we screamed and they ran away!' I don’t know what the hell to make of it. But a few things are clear...the lock was broken and I know that there was a lock because I put it on there.

Outside the backyard led to a concrete area. When I looked at the ground there wasn’t much, but it had little bit of water almost like a trail.

I had seen the gate swinging closed, but I didn’t see anything. I did have a pretty big field of view but I may have overlooked whatever because I did bolt down the stairs.

What you think? What are these frog people? I’m new to this but still kind of spooky. I started to get interested since this happening. I will also say my one nephew does have a few 'problems.' now I don’t know if it’s related but he won’t talk about that day. The other nephew kind of just says he doesn’t remember much." LF

NOTE: Could these be similar humanoids that were described in the Loveland, Ohio Frogman encounters along the Little Miami River? Or is it more similar to this event? 5 Ft Tall 'Amphibian' Biped Encountered in Mystic Caverns, Arkansas. Interesting. Lon

Strange and scary nightmares resulted in migraines, paranoia and an encounter with a blacker than black 3D 'shadow person' by a resident of Gillette, Wyoming.

The following account was forwarded to me by Kyle & Cam at Expanded Perspectives:

"My name is Sean and I live in Gillette, Wyoming.  I wanted to share some ongoing experiences I’ve been having in my townhouse going back to when I first moved in around 6 years ago.  I was hoping you might have some insight into what it might be.  I have some ideas but truthfully I haven’t heard of many people experiencing what I have.

It started almost as soon as my son and I moved in.  I started waking up late at night from a nightmare and each time it was different.  Each one had similarities but the people in it were different plus the thing scaring me was also different.  The one common theme was that I was part of a group of people who were being killed off by a common threat.  One of the first nightmares was being trapped inside an old bar with my friends and it caught fire.  I was the only one who survived.  Sometimes I would be in a suicide cult or hunted by a serial killer.  No matter the differences, they always ended the same: I survived but everyone with me would die.  They were uncharacteristic of the typical dream or nightmare I would normally have.  The strangest part for me was that when I woke up, I would have a migraine and I would wake up from every single one of these dreams.  I went from having a migraine once a year to once every couple weeks.  I thought perhaps fear was the cause of the headache but these dreams were the only time they happened.  Then I thought perhaps there was some type of gas in the house affecting me but my son wasn’t affected.  I went as far as getting CO2 detectors and having a friend check for radon.  There was nothing.  My house was clear.

Nine months ago, I woke up from one of these nightmares around 2am and my head started throbbing at once.  I needed some ibuprofen and answer nature's call, so I jumped out of bed and walked to a floor lamp that was at the foot of my bed, to the left.  To the left of the lamp is my computer desk and the lights of the modem gave off a soft glow.  To my right, just before I turned on the lamp, I saw what I could only describe as a 3 dimensional shadow standing at the foot of my bed.  It was shaped like a person who stood around 5 ft tall and the craziest thing was, the shadow was void of all light.  My room was pretty dark but this shadow was much darker than that.  I had a panic, half asleep moment where I thought I found an intruder in my home.  I glanced to my left just long enough to turn on the lamp and when I looked back, he was gone.  Right then I heard pounding footsteps at the end of the hall outside my bedroom and then go up a small flight of stairs.  However, my bedroom door was still closed!  I ran to the right, a couple steps passed where I saw the shadow, and swung open my bedroom door.  I flipped on the hall light, running straight ahead, then turned right to run up a small set of stairs.  I then searched my entire house, leaving every light on as I went.  There was no one in my house, including my son (he was staying over at his mom's).  All my windows and doors were shut and locked.  There was no physical person that had been in my house that morning.

Soon after, I saged the house and had a friend pray for blessings.  I still have the nightmares with headaches but only once every couple months now.  My house has some haunted activity.  Things will move or I’ll hear strange sounds I can’t identify but none of this activity seems malevolent to me.  I can’t find the previous owners of the house and besides, how does one start a conversation like that? :)  The biggest question is, what did I see that night?  And is it the reason I’m having the nightmares? Perhaps you guys might know something to help?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.  Feel free to use it if you want.  Even my name and location.  It’s all good. Take care and be well. - Sean

NOTE: is this a 'shadow person' haunting or something more complex? Lon

A father and daughter are driving to Missoula, Montana when they encounter a bright red light. The next thing they remember is that they were at their final destination several hours later.

I received this account several years ago:

"Hi Lon, I contacted you some years ago concerning a UFO experience my sons and myself had in the mid 80's. I am feeling much more at ease about relating things now then I was then. And I want to let you know that, that instance wasn't my first. In fact it is my belief that my parents were also experiencers.

On one occasion, this occurring in 1971, my father and I shared an experience that has puzzled me (and scared) me since. I am from SW Washington state and at that time my older sister was attending college at Montana State in Missoula, Mont. My father was going up to visit her and since my then husband was on a two week stint of the graveyard shift at the Naval hospital he was stationed at, he asked If I would like to go along. The trip was an uneventful, though a beautiful drive until we were at the eastern edge of the Lookout Pass, on the Idaho/Montana border. We had just left the east end of the pass and were headed down the valley created by the Clark Fork River. Now this is a narrow twisting valley surrounded by huge mountains on either side. The mountains were so tall and enclosing that it is almost claustrophobic in it's dimensions. This was about 1:30 am when we entered the valley, and we expected to arrive at my aunt's around 4:30-5:00 am Mountain Time at the west end of Missoula.

As we swung through a long sweeping corner, both of our attentions were immediately pulled to the top of a mountain on our right, as the top was covered with a bright glowing red light. We were asking each other, "What is that? Is that a fire?" We were both concerned as this is an non-populated area, and emergency services would have been hard pressed to have battled a fire in this location. I lost sight of it after perhaps 30 seconds, but my father kept watching from his side mirror. All of the sudden he sped up, told me to get down on the floor board, and he kept shouting at me "DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK"! He was now driving crazy fast.

The next thing I recall we were parked outside of my aunt's home, she was slapping at the window glass on my side of the car, asking us what was the matter. 'Why were we so late?" I was totally bewildered, and looked to my father with a question in my eyes, and he simply shook his head slightly at me and whispered, "I don't know, let me talk". We were both shaking by now and in total dismay. He told her we were late because he grew tired and we stopped for awhile at a rest stop to grab some sleep. Then he made some excuse about we were suppose to be at his father's house for breakfast and we were late, and had to go. When we drove off I asked him what had happened, how did we get to my aunt's so fast, and why was it light out? He turned to me and said, "We aren't suppose to know, we weren't going to talk about it and to drop it." So I stayed quiet and didn't think about it until after the sighting in the 80's.

I tried to talk with him after that, never mentioning anything about my recent experience, or UFOs, and after saying "Do you remember?" and "What the hell happened?" He burst into tears and told me "Honey, this is something I just can't talk about." I tried again about 5 years later, and again he started to cry and refused to talk about it. My Dad has since passed (16 yrs ago). My father was a very strong man. These are the only two times I ever saw him cry. More than for any other reason, my father's crying at the two times I tried to talk to him about it has convinced me we were abducted. I have no other recollections of that night back in 71', but I know something scared my father SO bad that he couldn't even bring himself to talk about it.

Thanks Lon. That was good to get off of my chest." MS

A woman and her dog stop and spent the night at Skull Valley Primitive Campgrounds in Utah on their way to British Columbia. A series of frightening events ensued that night.

I recently came across the following account:

"My experience at Skull Valley Primitive Campgrounds in Utah absolutely terrified me and has ruined camping for me...possibly for good. Here's what happened.

The summer before last I took a road trip from my home in Colorado up the west coast into Canada, my northernmost destination being Fernie, BC, Canada as I have family there. I mapped out a series of free campgrounds to stay in instead of hotels. I loved camping and it would help me stay on budget as well. My boyfriend at the time also was traveling so we were planning to meet up in San Francisco and get to Seattle together. I was doing the first bit of the trip with just my dog, and my first planned campsite was a place called Skull Valley Primitive in Utah, owned by the Bureau of Land Management.

I found the site easily. The camping spots are up a dirt hill so I took the first site I saw as my car is not made for off-roading. I set up my tent without any issues and changed into my hiking boots. It was SO hot, I remember my poor dog had to have a cool towel-down after I set up camp because he just couldn't get cooled off. There were a ton of other campsites but hardly anyone using them. There were two RVs I came across parked super far away from my site, and I was definitely the only tent camper.

I decided to go take a hike around before the sun was down. The campsite is adjacent to these mountains that rise out of flat ground and have what appear to be cave dwellings carved in the face of them. I wanted to investigate so Teddy (my dog) and I started off in that direction. After only a few minutes of walking we hit a barbed wire fence. I didn't think twice about ducking under it and continuing onwards, I just didn't think it would be a problem.

Only a few yards after I had hopped the fence I stopped dead in my tracks. An eerie and unusual sound was coming from the direction of the cave dwellings. The best description I can give you is that it sounded like dozens of humans trying to howl like wolves. Like many people pretending to be a wolf pack, and it sounded like its origin was inside the caves themselves. My dog was as spooked as I was, and had already started running back to the campsite when I turned around. The sounds continued until I was well inside the camp perimeters.

The sun was almost completely set when I decided to let Teddy out for one last break. I was freaked out by what had happened and didn't want to be running around in the dark. Teddy is a dog that simply does not need a leash, he is never more than several feet away from me, so I didn't use one. I zipped up the tent and walked him away from our site...and then suddenly he was just gone. I couldn't see or hear any sign of him.

The sun had finished setting by the time I finally gave up screaming for him and returned to my tent, which had not been left alone. The tent had a broken zipper when I arrived, and my stuff was strewn about inside, though nothing was missing. I want to emphasize the fact that during this time period I noticed there were NO NATURE NOISES, no crickets chirping or anything at all and I felt what can only be described as complete dread, sheer terror. I was simply petrified, I've never felt so scared in my life. In fact I feel the same terror just writing this out, it's truly the most scared I've ever been and I will never forget it.

I decided to grab my taser and keep trying to find Teddy. After a bit longer of whistling and shouting for him I realized he was not coming back, so I headed into my tent. I used some safety pins I had to pin it closed since the zipper was now broken. This is where things get even weirder. As I lay there trying not to totally freak out, something started to violently shake my tent from multiple angles. I could feel it/them brush against my feet sometimes, and the shaking was relentless.

At some point, several hours later, I heard my dog outside the tent and peeked out. It was him! I quickly unpinned part of the flap and he hopped in. His behavior was definitely off, and he reacted to the constant shaking of our tent even more so than I did. Neither of us slept that night, and as soon as morning came we were GONE.

I called my (now ex) boyfriend on the drive out and recounted exactly what had happened. He started to Google the location and found out that the area I had walked into was actually the site of an extremely small and impoverished Native American reservation. His hypothesis was that they had been watching me and decided to f*ck with me after dark. I can believe this to some extent. It's somewhat plausible I guess.

Anyway, that's my story, it was the first and the last time I camped by myself during the trip, and sadly I have not returned to solo camping once since." TB
