1960s 'GARGOYLE' ATTACK Reported in Southern Illinois

The following comment was found on the Beyond Creepy YouTube page. It was made about a discussion about Gargoyles and an account related by author Nick Redfern.

“This guy (Nick Redfern), is telling the truth about this Gargoyle-looking thing back in the 60s because this thing paralyzed me one day when I was six, on a trail in the woods. After I was done with reading my brain for technology it let me go. It looked like a Gargoyle with huge bat wings. I lived in Alton, Illinois at the time, back in the sixties. This is true. This Gargoyle-bat-looking thing erased my memory for over 40 years, and then one day, I just started to remember to my horror. Because growing up on a farm in southern Illinois after moving from Alton, Illinois I never saw anything that would trigger my memory of that day when I was six years old.

Now, back to what triggered my memory of that day in Alton on the trail. I was in my late 40s when my friends were camping out on a dark cloudless night when, all of a sudden, I saw my first flying saucer. So I hollered to my three friends to quickly come here and look up where I was pointing and they saw it too. It was very clear to see what it looked like. To say the least, we were all amazed because none of us had ever seen a real flying saucer before. After the camping trip, I started to think about what my friends and what I had just seen. That's when it hit me like a ton of bricks what happened to me back in the sixties when that bat-looking thing grabbed me by the back of my head and stopped me where I was just standing in the middle of the trail watching the older kids in front of me racing to the clubhouse. They just kept on running and never looked back at me when I was stopped by this Gargoyle-bat-devil-looking thing that had me paralyzed. Someone had the idea of racing to the clubhouse that we all built one day but, no, I've never remembered anything about that day until I was well into my 40's. After that night my friends and I went camping when we all saw that flying saucer.

Things in this world are not like we think that they are or like we had hoped that they should be. My hope is one day to be hypnotized to see if I have any memories of this Gargoyle thing's technology because as he was reading my brain, I could see his too. So that being said, there's no telling what memory of its technology I have. Just remember this, never never go into the woods without a gun or a very long knife, or something for protection.” M

NOTE: Not sure what to make of this account, but it is interesting because of the sighting I posted last week - Missouri Duck Hunters Observe Huge Bat-Winged Humanoid which occurred directly across the Mississippi River from Alton, Illinois. Lon

A near-death experience (NDE) is an extreme personal experience associated with death or impending death. The great majority of these experiences are positive and may encompass detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, joy, review of major life events, the presence of light, and seeing dead relatives. When negative, such experiences may include sensations of anguish, distress, a void, devastation, and seeing frightening scenes.

I also associate the presence of the Angel of Death, as in the Islamic tradition, as a near-death event. The archangel Azrael, metaphorically, separates souls from their bodies using a scythe or sword. Many Judeo-Christian believers know the Angel of Death as the Grim Reaper, which was inspired by the high number of deaths attributed to the Black Death plagues in 14th-century Europe and Asia.

I have combined both death-related phenomena into this presentation since each offers a reflection of our future, and how it may affect our remaining life.

Please feel free to comment on the accounts and let me know your opinions.
