An eyewitness describes an incident that he had as a child. Namely, an encounter with 'Bird Bird.' Was this an otherworldly event where the being appeared as something that would not alarm a child?
I received the following account:
"Wow, Lon. I listened to your podcast interview. I had never heard of anyone else who had similar experiences to what happened to me when I was young. I am a paranormal enthusiast now because of all the experiences I have had in my years and wanted to describe some of them to you. But now I feel I must contact you since I heard you describe witness encounters with Sesame Street characters. I didn't really put two and two together as it being 'paranormal' until now, although I knew it was something bazaar that happened to me as a child. I have told a few people about it, but of course, as silly as it sounds, I never expected anyone to believe me, but this is what happened to me.
I was born in 1976, in Dayton, Ohio, and shared a room with my brother for several years. This event took place when I was in my bog bed, so I must have been at least 5-6 years old. My brother had one side of the room, and I had the other. We had a very large walk-in closet and the door to it was at the foot of my bed.
One night as I was trying to get to sleep (my brother was already asleep), the door opened and I know this sounds crazy, but out came 'Big Bird.' I remember being frightened at first, but others came out too and they were very friendly and led me into the closet with them. All I remember at this point is that Big Bird gave me a flavored chapstick (most likely to ease my fear because I loved chapstick), and they brought me back to my bed. I went to sleep very happy over the whole experience and was not afraid anymore. I put the chapstick under my pillow after taking a tiny nibble leaving my teeth marks just to see if it was still there in the morning.
The next morning, I checked, and low and behold the chapstick WAS there. Just like I remembered, and at that moment I knew for a fact it was not a dream. If it were not for that chapstick the experience probably would not have stayed with me all these years. I tried to tell my brother, but he laughed it off, as anyone would, it sounds totally crazy. Now, after reading the other accounts of similar experiences, I am wondering if it was an abduction disguised as a friendly interaction. Another really weird phenomenon happened to me in the same house, but in a different room within the 10 years I lived in that house. I have somewhat of a timeline as we moved when I was 10. I will describe my other experience which could have been an abduction, in another email.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I would love to read more about these Sesame Street types of events!" EM
NOTE: I have received several reports from witnesses who stated that they encountered Muppet characters. Lon
