Illinois State Worker Experiences DANGER & PANIC FROM UNKNOWN ENTITY

An Illinois government employee is about to take a biological survey when he is bombarded with a sense of danger, which eventually manifests into a large, brown blob.

"I've never told this story before not even to my two best friends or my closest family members. This experience happened in the early summer of 2002 in the Mississippi River Valley in the state of Illinois. I was a government employee at the time so I'll keep the place and specifics vague for the sake of people that have to live around these things.

I was two months into the job fully enjoying being the new guy in a new part of the part of the country that I've never seen before. On that day my job was to do a biological survey on a dry riverbed. It was a boat ramp used to access the area when water was present. I parked my government work truck with the nose towards the riverbed and the boat ramp to my left. I got out of the truck, took several steps ahead to look over the area, and made a plan on how to start my survey.

After about a minute I suddenly was hit with a sense of immediate danger. It was tangible, and it was physical. I could feel the sensation smack into my left shoulder and slide across the skin of my chest from left to right. Like being shot with a jet of water from a firehose. The danger felt like it was coming from knee level or lower and I backpedaled in an unexplained sudden panic. I kept my knees bent and my arms forward because I was sure I was being charged by a vicious stray dog that I'd never seen or heard.

Once safely back in the truck cab, I looked all around for the dog that I was sure had to be there and I saw nothing. After about three minutes of confusion and adrenaline burnoff, I had no explanation for what had just happened. I laugh to myself for being silly and I tell myself I have a job to do so get out and go do it.

I get out for a second time and I step forward to my original standing spot to decide how I'm going to start the survey. I again get hit with this fire hose of danger from my toes to the top of my head. I do the same, running fast, backpedaling, and getting back into the truck cab. Both times the feeling disappeared the instant the truck door slammed shut. I'm really spooked. My hands are trembling on the steering wheel while I'm asking myself if I'm having a heart attack or an allergic reaction.

I sit there for seven or eight minutes trying to recompose myself. I punched the dash in frustration and tell myself to get my butt out there and do my job. I was the new guy and did not want to be seen as unreliable. I get out of the truck a third time and step forward to my original standing spot. Now, everything that follows is happening in a split-second sequence and it'll take longer to explain than it did to experience.

The moment my foot stepped onto my original standing spot I got hit with a 100% blast of the fire hose of danger feeling. I mean absolute primitive fear and danger, like standing on a high-tension bridge that is collapsing with you on it or standing in front of an avalanche of snow in the last four seconds before it hits you. My legs were running before my mind knew I was running. As I spun around and ran for the truck cab I was saying in a panic to myself in that internal voice cuss get in the damn truck.

By my second or third step, I see something in my peripheral vision. To my right, it was just past 3:00, and about 20 feet away there was an unnatural brown color like a Crayola crayon. It was a pear-shaped blob 5 1/2 feet tall in the shape and size of a squatting heavyweight Suma wrestler. All I saw was a brown blob but it clearly stood out from the surrounding nature. I could feel a presence as strong and powerful as a short-tempered rodeo bull. In a split second, I grab the door handle. I clearly hear "it" say in the same voice, "Leave. Leave now. Leave this place!" It was stern, commanding, and calm with none of the panic that was flooding through my mind.

I calmed down enough to safely drive home and call it a day."

NOTE: This is an interesting experience. Was it an intuitive response to real danger? Did the witness create a thoughtform as a result of his sense of danger? Could it have been a cloaked cryptid or unknown energy? What are your thoughts? Lon

Winter has always been a time of magic, monsters, and legendary figures; their stories are told and retold across generations. But what if there was something more? Some authentic human experiences that inspired these stories, so often told around fires built as much to drive back the shadows as to provide warmth.
 
In this book, the Waylands compare Christmas legends to modern anomalous phenomena to see what similarities exist. From Sheepsquatch to Santa Claus, The Singular Fortean Society's Yuletide Guide to High Strangeness covers a wide variety of reported sightings that might represent a startling truth behind our stories.
