Over the years, I have received hundreds of anomalous accounts from the state of Ohio. In fact, I believe I've received more submissions from Ohio than any other state in the US.
"Dear Mr. Strickler. I will be upfront and honest with you. I am one of those who want to believe. However, I am also one of those who is very skeptical. I have read the books of Eric Von D, Robert Bauval, and others. Mainstream media has tickled my interest in DaVinci and the Free Masons. For over 25 years or so (now in my early 40s) I have always had a love of Mayan, Inca, and ancient Egyptian societies. Maybe a year or so ago while watching something on NatGeo/SyFy/History Channel, I was browsing the WWW and came across your blog. I have followed on and off since then, and your posts of the little lizard man and most recently your post of the "Red Man", kinda hit home for me. With "V", I felt that if this person could come forward then I know I am not alone and they may also know that they are not alone in having an experience."
"I was born and raised in NE Ohio. I had a normal upbringing (or what some would call). Parents are still married, went to church on Sundays, had a dog, picket fence, all those things. I did a little marijuana in high school, I rarely drink, and there is only one reported case of a mental illness in my family."
"When I was 12-13 years old, I remember having a very vivid dream where I was sitting in my living room watching TV. While watching TV (in my dream I was viewing myself in 3rd person) something made me want to look out through the dining room and out through the large sliding glass door into the backyard. When I turned my head, it was completely dark outside, and then in almost a comedic way of film, this giant moon slid up from below the horizon (like from the 9 to 12 position on a clock). The moon was enormous, almost filling the sky, and was brilliantly white. As I sit dumbfounded in my dream staring out the back window, something pulls my legs out from under me while I'm sitting on them on the floor. This startled me but while in my dream I was still staring at the moon this voice from what I can only assume was in my head said, "It's almost over"."
"This frightened me horribly. So much so that I woke up hot and sweaty only to find my bedroom door partially open with a small, dark figure closing the door and saying without moving his mouth "Don't tell"."
"I don't recall really any of the small humanoid's features. I just recall him being about 2-2.5 ft tall and seeing the figure darker than gray complexion and nothing moved on its face when I heard it speak. Even to this day, this incident is one of the most vivid memories that I have."
(Seeing your photo of the reptile man was nearly like pulling out a photo of my head from that past memory)
"I mentioned nothing of this occurrence until just a few years ago to a close friend. I never even told my wife."
"Well, I went off to college, came back home, got married, had a couple of kids, and just over a year ago bought my parent's house. On and off since the encounter/dream/incident (whatever you would like to call it because I don't) I get this feeling like I'm being observed. Not the kind of being watched where you are sitting up at night unable to sleep and you feel like someone is watching you through the window. More like something is waiting for me as I walk into rooms and sit in the car with me while I drive to work. This was only in small increments and I never felt it to be constant. But since moving back home, I am feeling it more so."
"My son is the fun age of 5 and recently started talking about some guy he met here at home named 'Kyle Foker'. He tells my wife and I that he has seen him all over the house. Yes, he is a child, with an imagination. But while giving him the 20 questions over his new friend I am rattling my brain on what TV show/commercial/movie he could have come up with this, and so far have come up with nothing."
"While that is going on I was in the kitchen just a week or so ago talking to my mom and for some reason, I felt compelled to look the other way and I saw a dark figure. This figure that I saw had an upside-down triangle for a torso and a rectangular block for a head. When I turned to look I could tell that it looked at me because while my brain was trying to comprehend what I just had seen, I could see that the blockhead sort of rotated and proceeded to take an immediate left and zip its way through my stairs that go up to our bedrooms."
"From everything that I know, no one has died on this property. (My grandfather who lived with my parents and me (at my current location) for a few years from the time I was six until I was in high school became ill with Alzheimer's and later passed away having a complication from a stroke at a hospice center.) But I am afraid partially for my sanity but more for my family. Although no one has been hurt in any way, I can't help to think like a father/husband and want to protect my family from any possible threat. But my issue here is that what the hell am I dealing with? Possible alien thing, spirit, mental illness, or all of the above? Am I seeing one thing and my son is seeing something else?"
'Any help you could lend would be greatly appreciated." S
