Hiker Encounters 5-FOOT-TALL, UPRIGHT PRAYING MANTIS HUMANOID in Sierra Nevada Mountains

An experienced hiker was in the Sierra Nevada Range near Tahoe City when he encountered a giant 5-foot-tall upright praying mantis humanoid that had landed near him.

I received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. I heard you on Spaced Out Radio last night talking about the crawler humanoids (Penelope) in the Sierra Nevada range. I had a strange encounter in the Sierra Nevada outside of Tahoe City about 8 years ago that I just can't explain.

I was solo backpacking in the area and I'm extremely familiar with the Mt. Dana area. I wanted to test some new gear before a more serious backpacking trip. It was about 5 pm and I was at around 7000+ feet on a ridge with a very breathtaking and interesting outcropping. The stone was very geometric and when you knocked on it rang like a hollow storage tank. I kept some pieces of the rock because I found them interesting.

As I'm putting the rocks I picked into my backpack for the hike down to a spot I had selected earlier for camp I hear a fluttering noise not unlike a pigeon landing. I turn my head quickly but without much thought to see the bird and what I see instead is a huge praying mantis! This mantis was at least 5 feet long! It stood erect and its abdomen was curved to a very extreme angle allowing it to stand roughly chest height to me. In some respects, it looked and acted human-like!

I was crouched down so the thing was eye level. It grabbed a piece of food I had been eating and stared at me as it ate it. Then its wings popped out and it flew off.

I felt extremely nauseous and had a bad migraine afterward. I chalk it up to dehydration and a migraine but the memory is so real. What do you believe I encountered? I tried to get a photograph of it but it took off before I could get my phone."

NOTE: I have heard a variety of strange accounts from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, including Mantis humanoids encounters by campers and hikers. Are they otherworldly beings? I really don't know, but these mountains definitely hold a lot of secrets! Lon

Hundreds of years ago, European sailors told of a sea monster called the Kraken that could toss ships into the air with its many long arms. But today, science states that aquatic monsters don't exist. There are still underwater Leviathans in the natural world, like whales and giant squid.

Scientists estimate that 91 percent of ocean species have yet to be classified and that more than eighty percent of our ocean is unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored. But we constantly receive anecdotal accounts of cryptid creatures showing themselves.

In my mind, as well as for many other enthusiasts and researchers, underwater mysteries are still to be found.

The aquatic monster encounters and sightings detailed in this presentation offer varied glimpses into the phenomenon.
