MASSIVE WING 'WHOOSHES' Alarm Witness & Cat in Arlington Heights, Illinois

After airing the 'The Mothman Revisited' episode in Season 4 of 'Unsolved Mysteries,' the producers collected reports from the viewers and forwarded the information to us.

The witnesses are being contacted to establish and confirm details of the sightings/encounters. If further information is received, it will be added to the report. We have received worldwide inquiries as well. The incidents specifically reported in the Chicagoland region are on the Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map.

The original reports with details later added by the witness:

"I lived in the apartments at 920 E. Shady Way in Arlington Heights, Illinois in late October / early November of 2019. The apartments were set up so that I had to walk into my fenced-in porch first to then access my apartment. It was very untraditional layout, but the front porch is where I had my experience.

One night, at around 8:30 PM while on my fenced front patio, I was playing music on a small speaker and eating at my table out there. My cat was lying around on the porch with me. Out of nowhere, we heard what sounded like a very large bird flapping its wings. It was incredibly loud and startled both me and my cat. It was four or five massive 'whooshes.' I looked at my fence, where I believed the sound came from but didn’t see anything. I quickly looked over at my cat as she was meow-screaming and she looked terrified. She was staring at the roof above my head.

My knee-jerk thought was, “It must be an owl.” So I grabbed her as quick as I could. She was clinging on with her nails to my arms and she would not let me put her down for almost 30 minutes.

When I look back at where the sounds came from, I believe whatever it was, was likely behind me on the flatroof top. I don’t believe it was by the fence at all, but just the first place I thought to look.

After seeing this Unsolved Mysteries episode it brought this memory up thinking what in the world did my cat see that I didn’t. I felt such a surge of dread and fear. I have never seen an owl in that area, or since even moving out." Hannah O.

NOTE: Hannah told me that her cat never reacted like that previously or since. I believe that the cat caught a glimpse or sensed this winged being and reacted accordingly. Hannah's experience is not unlike others we have looked into. In fact, many of the sightings and encounters that we have received, especially those within a 3-mile radius of where this incident occurred, have demonstrated several unique supernatural traits.

Hannah's retelling of the account and her demeanor, on the telephone, were quite forthcoming and precise. In my opinion, this experience was beyond a normal encounter with a large, natural, winged creature. Lon

Little do the folks at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) realize that one of their buses is a magical mystery transport on loan from the higher realms of Venus. Photo by Perry Quan in https://www.phillymag.com/.
Most everyone in the five counties comprising the Greater Philadelphia area, in addition to adjacent counties to Philadelphia across the Pennsylvania state line in Delaware and New Jersey, are familiar with the bus routes of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, as it is popularly known. Few realize, however, that SEPTA is one of the largest transit systems in the country. Besides buses, SEPTA services include regional rail (including a high-speed line), subways, and trolleys. But even lesser known is the saga of SEPTA’s Magical Mystery Bus.
Throughout the area covered by the SEPTA bus lines, there are quite a few missions and soup kitchens. These outreach centers are the last stops for many on their journey through life. These are the shabbily dressed people that we try to avoid when we see them begging for change at the entrance of a Walmart parking lot or any dingy, dimly-lit downtown street corner, maybe with a tin cup or a squeegee in one of their cold, gloveless hands. And this same group of “down-and-out” people the Master Jesus referred to as the “least of these” in Matthew 25:40 (KJV). When you talk to many of the residents of a homeless shelter, diners in a soup kitchen, or even a suffering one just sleeping on the street, over a warm grate if he or she is lucky enough, you hear a lot of sad stories. Some are veterans who never adjusted to civilian life, suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Others are unredeemed alcoholics or drug addicts who have lost contact with their families and have nowhere else to go. There are also mentally and physically disabled persons unable to fit in anywhere, the outcasts of society. Former convicts also roam the streets, not finding anyone who will give them a job, a second chance. So many tragic circumstances have brought them to a dead-end street in Philadelphia, supposedly the “City of Brotherly Love.”
And so, there was a council of the angels called by Jesus on a higher dimensional plane of the planet Venus to see what could be done about this ongoing problem in the Philadelphia area. Lots of ideas were brought forward at the meeting. Most of them were complicated and a little too obvious. “Remember,” said the Apostle Paul, “you angels are supposed to keep a low profile down there, helping the Earthlings from behind the scenes, unawares” (Hebrew 13:2).
Then the Angel Secretary of Transportation, Christopher, spoke up. “Why don’t we introduce a ghost bus and translate some of the worst cases directly to Heaven? Nobody is going to come looking for them anyway. After all, nobody cared enough about them back down there on Earth. It’s time someone gave them a break, a real fresh start. No more halfway measures, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bowl of tomato soup, a bedbug-ridden cot, roll and soggy, dank pillow for the night and then back out to the cold, hard pavement.”
The angel formerly from Avila in Spain, Teresa, interjected, “Hmmm, maybe for the rest of them that have to stay behind in the shelter, we can get that Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell, to make some contributions of soft, clean, and warm bedding and linens.”
“That’s a great idea, Christopher and Teresa,” exclaimed Jesus, adding, “Let’s make that happen and put a few smiles on some peoples’ faces. I promised those folks on Earth that one day ‘the last would be first and the first would be last’ (Matthew 20:16, KJV). Let’s start with putting the least of these at the top of the line. That’s why we’re here anyway, so let us not waste any time and be about it!”
The next day Christopher beamed down to an angel safehouse in Pittsburgh to meet with a fellow angel, the scribe known as Vretiel, who besides recording the activities of angels on Earth was responsible for generating fake documents for angel operatives working in the different countries, states and municipalities, and logistically provisioning them for their assigned mission on the Blue Planet. This is where he received his clothing, including a SEPTA bus driver’s uniform, in addition to the appropriate Pennsylvania DoT Class C commercial driver’s license and assorted background medical exams, academic transcripts, and other required records. But most importantly, a power ring to summon up an etheric SEPTA bus that looked like the real McCoy.
The Angel Vretiel also asked Christopher what he’d like his SEPTA name tag to read, reflecting his alias here on Earth. “I think Chris Angelucci would be nice,” Christopher replied, “That means Anointed Angel of Light.”
“Sounds pretty good to me,” remarked Vretiel, also noting that, “It seems so appropriate, too. Especially since there are lots of Italians and their descendants in the greater Philadelphia area. When you have the time, check out some of the Rocky movies.”
“I might just do that,” said Chris.
This was the Spring of 2015, so he had until All Saints’ Day, or 1 November, to get settled in the Philadelphia area and begin his mission. And so, it was on the night of the Saints, on the night following Halloween, that the Angel Christopher had conjured up a SEPTA bus, parking it under a bridge for the elevated trains in the Kensington neighborhood of lower Northeast Philadelphia, not far from the St. Francis Inn. Kensington was the epicenter of Philadelphia’s ongoing opioid crisis. Jesus and all of the guardian angels had been receiving a lot of prayers for divine assistance coming out of Kensington dealing with severe cases of drug addiction, according to the Angel Vretiel’s records, so Kensington was as good a place for Christopher to start as any.
Vretiel also felt that his fellow angel, Christopher, would have the best luck in locating the truly dire ones in the vicinity of the Saint Francis Inn, which had been serving meals to the neediest individuals and families in Philadelphia since 1979. They opened their doors in December of 1979 and have served a meal every day since then, through blizzards, hurricanes, and even throughout the pandemic, they have not missed one-day providing meals “to go”. A breakfast of hot or cold cereal or pastries is served three days a week, while they serve a sit-down meal in their dining room every day. They now serve over 350 meals a day with an emphasis on the dignity and respect of their clients. The poor and needy have come to greatly rely on the services of the Saint Francis Inn, and so they are always congregating in and around their building.
Christopher pulled the bus up around the block from the Saint Francis Inn, so he could get a better view of its patrons coming out and onto the street before he would drive up to the curb in front of the establishment to let some riders get onboard. Once he spotted about 240 people leaving after the close of dinner, he scrolled the destination sign at the top of the bus front to read PARADISE and slowly maneuvered the large bus in front of the Saint Francis Inn, hoping that some would get on, if for no other reason than to get warm.
Fortunately, there were two brave souls on that first All Saints’ evening bus run. There was a disabled veteran whose wife took all of his money out of their retirement fund and absconded with their children to California, never to be seen by him again and leaving him totally destitute and despondent; and there was a drug addict who returned to her habit after getting out of prison and hitting the streets again, selling her body to buy more drugs and make do as best she could. The Angel Christopher was telepathic, so he knew these passengers’ respective whole life stories as soon as they put their foot on the first boarding step of the bus. The passengers noted that there was no fare box, and the angel driver just waved his hand in a low and slow manner bidding them welcome aboard. No sooner had the veteran and the beleaguered lady taken their seats on the bus, near the heaters on each side of the center of the vehicle with the man on the left side and the woman on the right, they both went into a sound sleep.
When they woke up and looked out the windows, they saw a beautiful and fantastic city beyond all imagination, glistening like alabaster in the middle of a bountiful fruited valley surrounded by majestic purple mountains. “Make yourselves at home,” said Christopher, “Your worries are over.”
Only a few who have been to this Shangri-La have volunteered to return to Earth and help the Angel Force with their mission here. But just like the contactees, who tell about aliens taking them to other planets, hardly anyone seems to believe them. Nevertheless, the lives of these returning passengers have all been miraculously changed for the better.

ER Receptionist Reacts to Possible TALL, THIN 'STREGOI' COUPLE Seeking Permission to Enter!

A rural Iowa hospital receptionist encounters a bizarre couple who seem like they need her permission to enter the ER. Were these actual Stregoi/Vampires?

I received the following account:

"Hello, Lon. I watched your Vampire video recently, so I decided to contact you. My mom has worked at a small, rural hospital in eastern Iowa for about 6 years. She is the ER receptionist, so she is the first person you see when you come into the emergency room, the one to give you all the paperwork to fill out and such. Throughout these six years, she worked mostly nights, 7pm to 7am, and has seen the town's cast of characters. Every transient, druggie, and local, has passed through that lobby and she has seen each one at least twice. But, one night, she encountered something she had never seen before, or again since.

Back in the first year, my mom was quick to get the hang of things, so she was left alone to work the counter. The ER faced the parking lot, so she could see people coming in from far away, and anticipate their moves. One night, at about 2am, she was working on her computer, looked up, and was surprised to see two people standing there. A man and a woman, just standing there, staring at her, and she stared back. The parking lot was dark, no car in sight, and they just appeared.

After a long moment, they came into the lobby and went right up to the desk. My mom said the alarm bells started going off in her head that something wasn’t right. For one thing, they were very tall. The desk my mom sat at would come up mid-chest to an average person. With these people, my mom could see the pelvic bone of the woman. They were dressed for cooler weather even though it was summer. They were also very skinny, and, my mom emphasized this, very dry-looking. But, they didn’t look like your typical druggies.

The woman kept stroking her neck with long fingers, saying she had a sore throat. My mom, for the first and only time, didn’t say a word. She just looked at them. A word kept repeating in her head “Stregoi.”

As my mom looked at them, the woman looked at the man, looked back at my mom, then at the man again, the whole time just smiling and stroking her throat, and said to the man “Do you think she will let us through? Or should we go somewhere else?” My mom stayed silent as the woman repeated the pattern of looks, and then they both smiled at my mom and left.

Almost after, my mom texted me, asking if vampires needed permission to enter places like hospitals. I told her, that since she was technically the person to say who went back to the ER, they would need her permission. We both knew that Stregoi was a type of Romanian Vampire mythos, and that was the word she kept hearing in her mind.

She has never seen that couple again. And we still talk about what happened. And it does make me wonder when I hear about stories of Black Eyed Kids and other tales of Vampires, what did she see that night? And, how close was she to something unreal?" P
