Ozark Howler

These photos came through my Facebook feed recently, and they sort of peaked my interest.This was the statement posted above the images.

    Alleged Ozark Howler photos taken in Arkansas

Now, in all honesty, I can't say if these images are real, faked or plain out photo shopped as I wasn't there when they were taken or created. But, I can give you my opinion on them. But first,
Let's get some background on this cryptid.

The Ozark Howler, also known as the Ozark Black Howler, is a legendary creature that is purported to live in remote areas in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.

The Ozark Howler is typically described as being bear sized, with a thick body, stocky legs, black shaggy hair, and as having prominent horns. Its cry is often described as being a combination of a wolf's howl and an elk's bugle.

Cryptozoologists have speculated that the creature might be a misidentified or unrecognized big cat. Anthropologists have speculated that the creature might be a branching off of the dark dogs of death found in British folklore.

Chad Arment asserts in his book Cryptozoology that the Ozark Howler myth is a hoax. According to Arment, he and many other cryptozoologists received email messages that made wild claims about Ozark Howler evidence. These messages were tracked down to a university student who had made a bet that he could fool the cryptozoological research community.However, many witnesses to seeing it in person in the region, prior to this hoax, show that Chad Arment's assertion was only correct in the one case, but not in the many cases of those who either haven't a computer, have seen the Howler prior to the hoax or have seen it without hearing of the legend.

Most recently a sighting of the Ozark Howler was reported in Newton County, Arkansas in 2011.

The Ozark Howler is the name residents and hunters have applied to a strange creature 
some say roams the remote forests of the Ozark Mountains. The reports originate from 
a vast area that includes parts of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Some attribute the sightings to the presence of an escaped big cat in the mountains, but 
others say something more is behind them. Eyewitnesses have come forward claiming to 
have seen a mysterious cat-like monster in the Ozarks, a creature, unlike anything they 
had ever seen before.
The mysteries of the Ozarks are part of their charm. Folktales of ghosts, monsters and 
strange creatures in the region date back hundreds of years. Unlike the well-known 
Arkansas Wild Man of the 19th century and the Boggy Creek and White River monsters 
of the 20th, the Ozark Howler mystery is complicated because eyewitnesses vary 
widely in their descriptions of what they have seen.
Some who claim to have seen the creature describe it as a gigantic cat, bigger even than 
a cougar. Others describe something far more monstrous: a massive cat-like beast 
with glowing eyes and horns protruding from its head. Most agree that it is black or dark in 
color.Between 2005 and 2010, the Howler (also called the Black Howler or the Devil Cat) was spotted several times. A family living north of Van Buren in the Boston Mountains of Crawford County set out trail cams after spotting what they believed was a cougar. The images they supplied to a Fort Smith 
television station appeared to show a big cat similar to a cougar (mountain lion).
The problem is that wildlife officials maintain there is not a breeding population of cougars 
left in Arkansas. They do concede that it is possible there might be individual big cats 
living in the mountains, pointing out they likely were once held as pets but escaped or 
were turned loose by their owners.At roughly the same time as the Crawford 
County sightings, similar reports originated from across the border in eastern Oklahoma. 
Those sightings revolved around large dark cats seen moving through the mountains.
Other reports from near Dardanelle in the Arkansas River Valley described strange 
sounds in the night similar to the laugh or bark of a hyena. From higher elevations, 
witnesses reported seeing what they described as a large "stocky" cat.

OK, we can see that the top photos plainly don't match up with the stories on the Howler. And I am leaning toward a photoshop job on them. I can't prove that it is just my opinion. Now, I can tell you what I know...

I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that Bigfoot is real. With that being the case, what else is out there? I have stood in front of a creature that I was told didn't exist. ( This creature is not cute and cuddly, and he didn't send me any mental messages of peace on earth and go green.) It looked down at me as if to say I am the Apex here. And I could not have agreed more. My point is, once you have seen a true monster with your own eyes, where do you stop? How can you say anything doesn't exist? I feel that there are many many things out there that only move under the cover of darkness, and it's up to us to expose these creatures.So does the Ozark Howler exist? Some people claim to have seen it, so that is good enough for me. Maybe one day I will be fortunate enough to see it for myself.

Dogman the American Werewolf?

Now here is a topic that truly fascinates me, but unfortunately there just isn't that many written encounters of Dogman. Are they more elusive than their close cousin Bigfoot? Or are people just not reporting these encounters as was such twenty years ago before bigfoot become mainstream? Whichever is the case, I will be watching this cryptid closely in the near future.

The Michigan Dogman is a cryptozoological creature first reported in 1887 in Wexford County, Michigan. Sightings have been reported in several locations throughout Michigan, primarily in the northwestern quadrant of the Lower Peninsula. In 1987, the legend of the Michigan Dogman gained popularity when a disc jockey at WTCM-FM recorded a song about the creature and its reported sightings.

In 1987 (100 years after the first reported sighting of the creature), disc jockey Steve Cook at WTCM-FM in Traverse City, Michigan recorded a song titled "The Legend", which he initially played as an April Fool's Day joke. He based the songs on actual reports of the creature.

Cook recorded the song with a keyboard backing and credited it to Bob Farley. After he played the song, Cook received calls from listeners who said that they had encountered a similar creature. In the next weeks after Cook first played the song, it was the most-requested song on the station. He also sold cassettes of the songs for four dollars and donated proceeds from the single to an animal shelter. Over the years, Cook has received more than 100 reports of the creature's existence. In March 2010, the creature was featured in an episode of MonsterQuest.

Cook later added verses to the song in 1997 after hearing a report of an animal break-in by an unknown canine at a cabin in Luther, Michigan.He re-recorded it again in 2007, with a mandolin backing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHKFCwpzk-4

The first known encounter of the Michigan Dogman occurred in 1887 in Wexford County when two lumberjacks saw a creature which they described as having a man's body and a dog's head.It has also been spotted many times in the Upper Peninsula by locals.

In 1938 in Paris, Michigan, Robert Fortney was attacked by five wild dogs and said that one of the five walked on two legs. Reports of similar creatures also came from Allegan County in the 1950s, and in Manistee and Cross Village in 1967.

The Gable Film
In 2007, a digital copy of an 8mm film surfaced on the internet. Dubbed "The Gable Film" because of a small paper tag attached to the box containing the film reel, it quickly attained viral status among cryptozoological enthusiasts. Many people believed it was the long-awaited conclusive evidence of the existence of the Michigan dogman. The entire film is 3.5 minutes long, and appears to have been shot in the mid to late 1960s, due to the clothing and hair styles by the persons in the film, which were most prominent during that time. Early scenes are typical home movie fare: children riding snowmobiles, a German shepherd, a person chopping wood, etc. Toward the end of the film, the photographer is shooting from inside a moving vehicle traveling along a dirt road, when he spots what appears to be a gorilla-like animal moving in a field on the passenger side of the vehicle. The photographer exits the vehicle and seems to pursue the creature for several seconds. Then it appears again, facing the photographer from a ridge about 150 feet away. After a few seconds the creature charges. Rapid movement of the camera suggests the photographer is fleeing the attack. In the last five seconds of the film, the camera drops to the ground, lying on its left side. A second film titled "The Gable Film Part 2" surfaced later on which seemingly shows a police investigation of the incident recorded in the first reel during which the officers investigating the scene examine a bifurcated corpse (presumably the body of the person recording the previous reel).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fDeT8H2CwQ

After years of analysis and debate, the film was finally revealed as a hoax in the finale episode of MonsterQuest on March 24, 2010. The Gable Film had been shot using vintage cameras, film, and period props by Mike Agrusa, a fan of "The Legend," song. The second video was likewise hoaxed. MonsterQuest claimed their investigative team uncovered irregularities in the film, and then forced the hoaxers to confess to werewolf expert Linda Godfrey. However the Hoaxers say that they told MonsterQuest from the beginning that the film was a fake and they fabricated the "investigation" to make a more interesting episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F65cy1FzIfw

Encounters

Ok, I'm sharing this story in hopes of someone else having another one. And I then will have this one out in the open.
I was traveling Highway 10, from the west coast, to the south coast of Florida. I was with my 6 kids, and pulling a trailer with all of my belongings and 3 dogs in it. I was in a big S.U.V., and it was around 2am. The kids were all asleep, and my 13 year old daughter was in the passenger seat, to make sure I stayed awake.
So, after traveling Highway 10 for 3 days, I had decided since we reached Florida, we would cut through the state, to save some time. So, we got off Highway 10 on an off road, in hopes of getting gas and making up some time. It was along Route 27 (Apalachicola National Forest). We came to the first little gas station. It was closed. I was nervous, because we needed gas. So, we continued on. I told my daughter to keep an eye out for deer crossing the 2 lane, deserted highway. Because, hitting a deer could kill us all and turn us over, due to the trailer we were pulling. We were traveling around 45 miles per hour. I remember this so clearly, like it was yesterday. But it was three years ago. We had our brights on, because the road was dark and winding. A few houses were on that highway, but not many. As we came around a corner, in the headlights, on the road, there was a lot of blood. Fresh blood. And on the side of the road was this 6 or 7 foot tall creature. It was on its hind legs, hunched over a dead deer, eating it. It did not look up. Not even when my headlights hit it. It was using its arms like a human, eating the deer. It had a very muscular body, pointed ears and a long muzzle. If you ever saw a werewolf, this was it! It had a skinnier lower body, but used its arms and hands just like a human. If it looked up, I would have died! I looked over at my daughter. We were both seeing the same thing, at the same time. Tears came to my eyes instantly, and at the same time, we both said, "werewolf!" I sped up, because I was scared it would run and jump on the trailer and kill my dogs. As we got about a mile away, my heart was beating so hard! My daughter and I were so freaked out! It was a werewolf!
I have never been a believer in werewolves. I don't watch any werewolf movies or have any reason to make this up. And as a matter of fact, until today, I have only told a handful of people about this. There is a werewolf in Florida! Not sure of the exact town or road, but I wish I did know, so I could find out if we were the only ones to have seen this thing. I will live my life wondering. It was between Alabama to Florida, along the pan handle. I will never forget this night ever!

Jan. 14, 2014

A couple nights ago, around 11/1130 pm, a local young lady, had a very scary sighting of a creature she described as "like a werewolf, only scarier."

The location is locally known here in Point Pleasant as "Cats Eye", on Madison Ave. Two nights ago, this young lady was sitting on her front porch, an enclosed patio with a few large windows. One window open in the front, beside the front door, smoking a cigarette. It was after 11pm and visibility was good, up to 100 feet because of street lights. She said before this sighting, she had heard strange noises and the local dogs had been going nuts off and on without an apparent reason.

As she was having a smoke, she noticed movement, thinking it was someone walking down the railroad tracks. She looked up and saw something that "blew her mind". It was, in her words, a thing that had a head of a dog, almost exactly like a German Shepard, and was walking like a person on two legs. She said she saw it's eyes ,and that's when she noticed it was staring at her. She said that she "became lost in its eyes". Any other description, she cannot recall clearly after seeing it look at her and then her seeing it's eyes. She did tell me that it was either dark colored and almost had the look of wearing an oversized black sweatshirt,(as in meaning it was rather large/bulky in the upper body. RFS) but she didn't think it was a sweatshirt, but hair or fur. I asked her to clarify this. She said that's really the only thing she noticed and can remember, other than the head and description. She said the height was in the neighborhood of six feet, maybe just a bit less. She stated several times how the eyes "drew her in". She said the creature took a couple steps towards her, and at that time she saw a flash of light. The creature looked towards the direction it was originally heading and in a very quick movement, spinned and took off the direction it came from. The brief flash of light, she soon found out, was her mothers headlights as she turned into the road. She repeatedly asked her mother if she seen anything near the railroad tracks when she was near home. She said no, nothing, however she was not paying much attention because she was late getting in and was tired.

What I consider very interesting about this is the government installation, located directly across from the witnesses home, has an array of cameras installed over the entire property. It's also patrolled by armed guards. It's too bad we will never be able to see it, but I'm almost certain that this creature was recorded on their cameras.

Do animals have telepathy?

I'm sure you have heard that animals have Telepathy. And some people claim to even be able to talk with them through thought. Now I can't say with 100% certainty that this is true. But I have noticed that my dogs can't pick up on things that they really shouldn't know. For example; my husband was working about five hours away from home. He would leave on Sunday nights and return home Friday night. One Friday evening he called me to let me know he was starting home. Just before he was due to home, my dogs alerted. They were all waiting for him to come through the door and he was about thirty minutes out. How did they know he was coming home? Another examples it; I had just finished dinner and still had food left on my plate. I looked at the food and thought, if my dog Luke were in here with me I would feed this to him. Just at that moment Luke jumped down off my bed and came into the dining room and looked at me as if I had called him. Were these just chance happenings? I have no idea, but I did see some strange things in my own animals. Now let's see some stories from some other people. But before the stories, let me encourage you to try this with your own animal. Try calling them or talking to them in your mind when they aren't looking at you and gauge their response.

My Psychic Dog Saved Me from Blindness
My Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Cassie, ate my prescription sunglasses one day. I have not had my eyes checked for about two years and I wasn't planning to. So now, without sunglasses to see with while driving, I made an appointment with an eye doctor and went for a checkup. While he was checking my eyes, he mentioned that I had two growths on the back of each eye. They had been there for about a year, he said. Normally, a human body can flush these out, but the certain medication I am taking was preventing this. He said that if I hadn't come in when I did, these growths would have multiplied and eventually caused me to lose my sight!

The doctor says that he isn't too worried about these growths now, and I go back for frequent check-ups to see if there are any more growths. There is nothing that they can do to prevent this except to stop the medication. So I spoke with my psychiatrist and we switched my meds. I am now completely off of that medication that was causing these growths as one of the side effects. I truly believe that Cassie knew about my eye problem when she chewed the sunglasses. - Lisa S.



"Sister" Makes Her Presence Known
This true story happened to my husband, me and our 18-year-old daughter on New Year's Day, 2001. We had borrowed a digital camera from a friend to take some pictures of my daughter to put on the computer and send to relatives. It's the kind of digital camera that stores the photos directly onto floppy diskettes. My husband reached into a brand-new box of floppy diskettes we had just bought and started to take photos of my daughter. She posed in different areas, and in one shot sat on the floor by our bar. This area was the place our little female fox terrier named "Sister" had her bed and always slept. It was her favorite place. We had to have Sister put to sleep in March 2000. It was a very sad day for us all.

We did not know what we would find when we opened the file! We opened it... and there was a photo of our dog, Sister, lying in her bed!
When we finished taking the photos, we put the floppy disk into the computer and brought up the picture files. Normally, all these files just have a number beside them like "MCV624" or something like that. We were all looking at the computer monitor when we noticed the last picture listed read "Sister"! We all shouted, "What?!" We just took that photo on a new disk and no one could have put the word "Sister" on that file! It defied explanation, and all three of us witnessed it.

We did not know what we would find when we opened the file! We opened it... and there was a photo of our dog, Sister, lying in her bed! Needless to say, we were shocked! My daughter was so upset she almost began to cry and could not eat her dinner. We were all a little shaky!

To me, this is proof that animals do live on, and it was Sister's way of telling us that she wanted us not to forget her. I still hear her toenails clicking outside the back door on dark nights. It makes me wonder even more where all living things really go after death and how "communication" could be possible. To us, there is no other explanation of what happened that night. - Sharon S.

Angels

Just what are Angels? Some people say they are spiritual beings sent as messengers from God. Some believe they are aliens. Some believe they do not exist at all. So what really are Angels?

I myself have never seen an Angel. But I like to think they exist. Some people see them as our Guardians. I don't know if that is true or not. (Actually none of us do.) But there has been times in my life when I really felt like an angel had been around protecting me from harm. And there has been times when an unnatural calm has washed over me for no reason.

I'm going to tell you something that happened to me, many years ago. My husband and I were arguing one morning while he was getting ready for work. I had the day off. Just as he was about to leave, our boss called and asked me to go to this particular job site with him. My husband nor I either one liked this since we really wanted to just get away from each other. As we went out to the truck, my father, who lives next door was standing out in the yard. We stopped to chat for a moment then I got into the truck. I noticed there was what appeared to be a drop of blood that had ran down the outside of my window. It was odd because the truck was not parked under a tree or anything else. My father noticed it and reach out to touch it. It looked just like blood that was beginning to dry! We all speculated about what it was, then my husband and I left. We went to work and I forgot all about the "blood". On our way home that evening, we were coming up on a red light. It was green for us, so we slowed as we neared the intersection. Just as we were about to go under the light a truck came from out of nowhere and we t-boned it. I was thrown into the windshield and then into the floor. I broke the windshield with my face and head. But thank God we were otherwise OK. It wasn't so fortunate for the other people. A lady died that day.My mother told me later that God had marked our vehicle that morning, so the death angel would pass it by. That gave me the chills. Do you think it's true?

Let me share some stories of others encounters with Angels.

 My Son and His Angel - In my home we are not religious by any means. One night I was putting my son to bed and he started telling me that the night before Jesus brought an angel to him because he was scared. He said, "she was so beautiful and her wings were so big they almost touched my walls." He said she sang to him and played with him until he fell asleep. He then said Jesus came back to get her and he brought her back to a door with him where they started to sparkle and then went through the door. Ever since my son has been obsessed with Jesus and angels. He prays to an angel often and prays for Jesus to come back. The other day he was crying because he said he keeps praying but he doesn't think Jesus can hear him. He said that he keeps praying for him to come back because they make him feel so happy. I acknowledge what he says, but I don't push it. I just let him talk about it when he needs to. Not sure what i should do, he gets genuinely sad when he thinks Jesus can't hear him. He is only 4yrs old.

Angels Are Among Us! - My 15 yr old grandson and I were putting up garage sale signs several blocks down the street. When I got back in the car to head back home I looked at Dawson, he was looking out straight ahead and asked if he got to stay the night. No sooner than he asked the question while driving, in a flash of an eye, I saw Huge white Angel Wings encompass my windshield and at that very second Dawson shouted "Grandma did you see that"? I said yes I saw Huge Angel Wings covering my windshield...he said no Grandma I saw a ball of fire. We were both shocked as to have seen two different things? We are strong believers and have experienced many miracles but who is ready for something like this. No trees fell no storm, why Angel Wings in front of me covering my side of the windshield and fireball flash for him? Cannot understand this. But, Awesome! I could actually see the inner wing with all it's brilliance and feathers. Huge! Gone as fast as it came.

We Never Forgot  - I’ve never told this story. When I was about 7yrs old I was left at home alone with my nephew who was three at the time. We were playing in a back room when something scared us. I don’t remember what I saw or heard but I knew I had to get out of that house or we were going to die. I clutched my nephew tightly, both of us screaming and crying, and ran toward the front door. Just before reaching the exit I saw a tiny ball of glowing white light hovering just above our front door. I stopped dead in my tracks. I could not take my eyes off that ball. Suddenly it started getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, we were totally engulfed by the light. The next memory I have been floating inside this light. It was the purest most beautiful, soft light ever and I was transfixed by it. It felt so good. I can still feel it when I think about that day. Inside the light, there was no sense of fear, pain, or worry. Somehow I knew everything was okay and we were going to be fine.


Reaching Out - I was four years old. I was in my brothers room crying. This is when I heard a sweet voice called me. I looked up towards the footboard and saw a woman with long hair lying on her right shoulder. She wore  a white flowing cloth with light blue trimming surrounded by a white mist. Her arms were extended out with her palms facing upward as if she wanted to embrace me. She whisper towards me "come with me, I love you", in Spanish. I kept looking at her when I heard the bedroom door starting to open. I screamed as I saw my mother walked into the room. She ran to the bed and lifts me up into her arms and ran out of the room. She sat down and started praying over me and kept pouring a sweet fragrance onto my head. I was not afraid of the lady but I do not know what happen between the time the door was opening and when I started screaming. We moved out several months later. However to this day I know I have someone watching over me and was protecting me for something else.


God Answers Our Prayers In His Timing - I prayed that God would show me an angel and he did twice many years after I prayed for this. Both encounters happened when I was sleeping. I suppose angels will come to visit us on occasion when we would be most relaxed and receptive to their visitations. The first encounter I had was when I was in a dream state walking along a dark path at night. Then suddenly the entire environment setting lit up with incredibly pure bright light as if the sun itself was shining on me. Suddenly I woke up, but no one was in the dark bedroom that I could see. So I asked in bewilderment "What is it?" as if it was someone I was speaking to. No voice or words came forth, but the angel conveyed thoughts/pictures to my mind telepathically, showing me that I left the side door of the garage open with a picture in my mind and then reminding me to close the door and to lock it. So, I thanked the angel and got out of bed and sure enough the door was wide open.

Weather Balloon? Astral Gasses? Blimp? Heat Lightning?

UFO?  Weather Balloon? Astral Gasses?  Blimp?  Heat Lightning? What do all of these things have in common? That is the explanation you will get when you tell someone that you saw something strange in the sky. Without ever knowing what you truly saw that is their way of easily and gently telling you that you're crazy.





Well, I know there is something out there, but I have no clue what it is.I never really had a big interest in UFO's for me, Things from space, led to space, in general, which led to Science. When it came to Science my brain would completely shut down.So I really hadn't put much thought into it until I saw something that I can't explain.

It was late spring and a pretty warm evening so after the grandkids went to bed the adults enjoyed sitting outside. It was starting to get pretty late when my son pointed to the sky and said, 'what is that"? The four of us looked up to see a triangular shape with lights on the bottom slowly going across the sky. These lights would change color. They weren't flashing but more like evolving. And there was absolutely no sound at all. It basically looked like a Dorito with lights. The four of us watched this thing making crazy moves across the night sky. Sometimes it would quickly change direction. We saw it zipping across the sky, and sometimes hardly moving at all. We found ourselves moving around the yard just so we could keep it in our line of sight. At one point, I went into the house and posted on Facebook about what we were seeing just to see if anyone else was seeing it too.It wasn't long after I made this post that we had some patrol cars going by our house very slowly. Now this hardly ever happens so it made me think that maybe I shouldn;t have gone public with what we were witnessing. After we watched this thing a bit longer, we heard two fighter jets coming. The sound was earth shattering We watched as they flanked this thing and then the three of them flew out of sight. After we could no longer see anything we all walked up on the porch and sat down. I guess it was about a half an hour when we saw the second one. But this one flew straight overhead going in the same direction the last three went. It was flying slow and would stop at different points Not long after this one went out of sight I watched as the field directly in front of me lit up with a blinding white light. This was similar to a police spotlight. But there was no way this could happen in a fifty-acre field surrounded by woods. This light just appeared, stayed for a moment then sort of faded off, just like the old TV's use to turn off. It shrunk down and the just disappeared. This terrified me. I don't know why. But it scared me to death. I made the whole family go in the house. The next day, all three of my email accounts were hacked along with my daughter in laws. I don't know what we saw that night. And I don't know what was going on, but it was an awful strange chain of events. The following picture is very similar to what we witnessed, but it would also stand up on one end. It didn't stay flat the whole time.

If you have seen anything like this. I would love to hear from you.

Bigfoot Whistle ?

For years, I have heard people talk about hearing a Bigfoot whistle. Well, that is as elusive to me as the Samurai chatter. I am longing to hear both of these vocalizations. Hearing my first tree knock and my first clear whoop was just surreal. I will always remember every little detail about them. It was sort of like I was dreaming and wasn't actually hearing them. Yet I couldn't deny what was clear as day. So now, I am trying to hear this whistle.

Yesterday my mom called from next door. The woods right near the back of her home are adjacent to our hottest research area. Our team has had sightings and experiences there.  there have been seven reported sightings since 1984. She said she could hear large branches breaking in the woods and the sound of them being drug away. Marty and Chris went out to check, but they couldn't see anything. So we waited until about ten last night and we went out to see if we could hear any activity. The night was cloudy with a light mist/ It has rained here off and on all week. The weather man is calling for heavier rains to come in, so I was silently wondering if maybe these branches were being used for a shelter? We stood in complete darkness, straining our ears to hear the slightest movement. There it was! The loud sound of branches breaking! We began to walk that way slowly, paying close attention to where we stepped so as not to make much noise. Luckily the leaves were very wet so it wasn't too hard to be quiet. We had walked about twenty feet when suddenly the noise stopped. We froze, and listened. Nothing. The night was silent again. After a while with nothing happening, we began to walk back. After we had walked away the noise started back up! Once again we walked toward the noise only to have it stop abruptly. We finally gave up and walked back to a clearing to stand and listen. Time went by and we were about to call it a night when we heard a whistle come from our right! It was immediately answered by a tree knock off to our left! This whistle started out shrill then ended breathily.It was almost human sounding in the beginning but then ended with a deep raspy breath. I was thrilled! The adrenalin surged through my body! I couldn't believe I had finally heard what a lot of people are talking about! Now, I want to hear it again...

Bigfoot Whistle

Missing Time

Missing time is a gap in conscious memory identified with a certain time period. This gap can span a few minutes to a few hours to a few days in length. Memories of instances occurring during that time period often have to be retrieved by hypnosis or through dreams. An individual experiencing missing time will be performing an every-day task or traveling somewhere. He will glance at the time. At some point, this person will “awaken”, check the clock and notice some minutes or hours have passed during which he has no memory or awareness.

When I look up Missing Time, everything goes straight to Alien Abduction. I don't understand why this is. Couldn't there possibly be another explanation? I don't feel that the two always have to tie into one another. Maybe It could be a portal, a vortex. Maybe two dimensions have overlapped at this certain time. I think when we dive straight into alien abduction we are limiting ourselves. I feel that there have to be other possibilities. Let me share a couple of stories about missing time before I explain to you why I feel this way...

(1).This event occurred to me at least twelve years ago, and I still don’t know what happened.
Driving home from a Friday night shift at the newspaper, my car’s cruise control set on 55 mph, I drove by a road sign I’ve driven by hundreds of times. It reads, “Orrick: 5 Miles.” Just as I went by, the Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter” came on the radio.
Perfect. I lived in Orrick, Missouri, at the time, and “Gimme Shelter” was not only my favorite Rolling Stones tune, it was also four minutes, thirty-seven seconds long, which would last me all the way home.
Then my drive fell out of reality.A pull on the car engine snapped me out of the road hypnosis that had overtaken me. It took me a few seconds to realize that pull was the cruise control trying to keep the speed steady up a hill. The trouble was there were no hills between that road sign and my turnoff. Looking out the window didn’t help; a thick fog had enveloped the car and I could barely see the dotted line on the road. I slowed the car and drove up two more hills before I saw a light piercing through the fog.
Turning onto a gravel road toward the light, I found myself in the parking lot of a Jehovah’s Witness church and knew where I was – five miles on the other side of my turnoff. As I sat in the parking lot, my car in park, trying to figure out how I missed the exit, I heard something I couldn’t believe. “Gimme Shelter” still played on the radio. It continued to play for another minute and a half.
After I calmed a bit, I put the car in gear, pulled back onto the highway and went home. The fog quickly dissipated. I’d driven ten miles in three minutes at 55 mph. That wasn’t possible. What happened to me?

(2). Around 3 in the morning. I see a cluster of lights in the sky. I am talking on the phone with a girl that I work with. The only reason that I saw the cluster n the sky is that the lights in my living room were off. I notice that not only are the lights too close together, but they are moving sort of the way that a water balloon does, bulging out here and there. I think that at first I am looking at stars, but realize that the stars are too close together and blinking intermittently and not at the same time.

I go out on my balcony. I live on the top floor of my building. The only thing over me is the roof. I look straight up into the sky and notice that I am directly under the cluster of stars. I feel a sense of awe. Not because it is close to me or anything, but because I realized that the space surrounding the cluster is particularly dark. I KNOW that I am looking at something much bigger than it looked, but only the center bottom of the thing was barely visible.

I went back inside and told my friend that I had to call the police because I was staring at a UFO. She said to go ahead and call her back. I called the police and sure enough, they did not believe me. I panicked. I then thought that I would call some people in my building so that I could get them to come out and look as well but because it was late nobody wanted to.

Now I was desperate. My son and I were having a slumber party out in the living room and he was asleep since it was so late.

I grabbed the yellow pages and looked for a UFO organization. I found something under something called, "UFO Services", I called the number and got an answering machine. I called my girlfriend back and we discussed it. She believed me and even tried to get a look on her balcony, but that was not possible as she lives all the way across town.

As I was talking to her in the darkened room, I looked to the walls around the window where some street light was coming in. With me moving around and dialling people, my son woke up. I suddenly saw the walls around the window change from golden yellow to a type of orange. This frightened my son and me tremendously. We immediately dropped to the ground and crawled while under he blanket to my bedroom which had a window in the same direction as the one that we were looking out of previously.

I phoned my girlfriend again and told her that this was getting too freaky. Now my son was awake and stayed under the blanket in my bed in order not to see anything else. He was scared. I took the phone and walked to the window. I was so happy. In spite of the fact that the police did not come out to see what my problem was, I felt that someone believed me as far ahead in the distance, I could see what appeared to be a helicopter light in the distance. It seemed to have a bright headlight in the front and I thought that it was just sitting far enough away from the cluster of stars overhead so that it could observe it.

In the next few minutes, I became greatly relaxed. It seemed that the lights were under observation. As I stood in the window, I helicopter actually did come right by the front of my window. I thought that this was unusual, because it came so low and I did not think that they were allowed to do that.

Anyway, things started to happen now. The cluster of stars seemed to slowly be moving overhead of the building. As it was doing so, the headlight in the distance started moving inwards toward my window. I was so happy because someone else besides myself and my son had obviously seen this.

Wrong!

When the light came closer towards my building, I realized to my horror that my window was open! That light that I had thought was a helicopter was not making any sound whatsoever. In fact, it slowly turned in circles and after the first turn, I realized that there was nothing in the back of it. No propeller, no sound, no nothing, just a light.

That was too much for my son and me. We climbed into my bed and peeked at the thing just shining in the sky.

My son looked for a minute at a time and then he hid under the blanket. By now, the ufologist had called me back and was listening to me describe what we were seeing. As I looked at the light, I spoke with him.

That was when it happened. I got a message. In my mind very quickly I go information. Something was trying to communicate with me. not to have any type of conversation, but to sort of see if I was aware of them. The second that the sensation started, I knew that they knew I was watching. My eyes were on the light, and for the life of me I could not tear them away. I was locked on them. I started trying to tell the ufologist that they knew I was watching, but it all happened so fast that all I could get out of my mouth was: "They know-ow-ow-woo!". I went into a seizure. It threw my body flat in the bed and each part of my body shook uncontrollably. The phone in my hand fell away as both my arms straightened at my sides.

My son was under the covers shouting now for me to stop. I couldn't. I was awake, but not able to get control of myself. I was aware of what was going on, but short of breath. I could also feel a type of probing of my abdomen during this seizure-type of behavior. I got a glimpse of them, (however I don't trust the image that I have of them, it came much too fast.)

My son threw the covers off of himself and saw me flat on my back shaking. He started shouting at me not to look. "Don't look mom! Don't look mom!" I couldn't tear my eyes away. He then jumped right on top of me to block my vision and he even covered my eyes. I slowly stopped shaking. He picked up the phone and started talking to the ufologist. I couldn't talk again for the longest time. I was so out of breath. He was very worried and had an extra extension in the house which he was going to use to call 911 to sent them to my house.

I had never had a seizure before and didn't even realize that this is what it probably might have been. He said that there are usually only three things that cause them: high fever, epilepsy, and high electrical activity to the brain.

After that had happened he asked me some questions regarding how afraid I was. He wanted to see to the best of his knowledge if perhaps I was just so afraid that I just brought the behavior on myself. I assured him that I had been staring out the window so long that theory didn't seem possible.

Anyway, it was near morning. The ufologist stayed on the phone with my son and me for hours. I watched the light for an extremely long time. I still had tremors occasionally that night. They were very small and seemed to be small reactions to the bigger tremors that I had experienced earlier that night.

As morning approached, the light in the sky moved in slow circles. it had two or three prongs resembling elephant tusks which pointed down towards the earth as it turned. It behaved as if it could shift shapes in a fluid motion. At 5:30 AM in the morning, it was quite light out. There didn't seem to be any stars in the sky, except for an orange light terribly far in the distance. After 5:30 AM, the light started to move away. I had lost sight of the cluster of stars now, (it had slowly moved over the top of my building).

I thought that the episode had ended. I watched the light and described its movements to the ufologist as it drifted away from the building and went higher into the sky. That was when I saw that the orange light had been a third conspirator to the two previous. The first (white) light that I had been staring at all night slowly moved towards the orange light and from the point that I had been looking at it, it seemed to line itself up with the orange light that had seemed much farther away to the point that I couldn't see it. It seemed to be sitting behind the white light, (out of my vision). Then the white light picked up speed and as a pinpoint in the sky, it moved (not in a straight line), but from side to side slowly up, up into the sky to nothingness.

The whole procedure to leave took exactly 45 minutes (to 6:15 AM) and then it just wasn't there anymore. I continued to talk to the ufologist. It was then that he revealed to me that he had been taping our conversation the whole night after I took the "seizure".

After that episode, He came with his partner and they videotaped my recollection at my home. I showed him the windows where I saw these things happen with my son.

Now, the reason I don't feel that this is always tied into Alien Abduction is because of my own experience with missing time. If you noticed, the first story never mentioned strange lights or any mechanical interference That is similar to my story.

In October of 1984, our son was born. My husband and I were both just eighteen at the time and our first home was pretty small. Just two bedrooms. One afternoon, around four I had just nursed our young son and put him down for a nap. I sat down in the living room to talk with my husband before I had to get up and start dinner. I sat on the couch and he sat across the room in a chair. As we talked, I felt myself nod off to sleep. I am sure you know the feeling of nodding off and then jerking your head back up quickly. This is exactly what happened to me. But as I lifted my head, I saw my husband doing the same thing!  I apologized to him for falling asleep as he was talking. The odd part is he apologized for doing the same thing! That is when we noticed we had changed places, now I was in the chair and he was on the couch! We both turned to look at the clock hanging on the wall. In what had seemed like mere seconds, the time had jumped from four in the afternoon to eleven at night! The baby! We both jumped up and ran to his room, which was just on the other side of the living room wall. He was sound asleep, still on his stomach. with the thin cotton baby blanket covering him. It didn't appear as if he had moved at all!  I reach under his blanket and felt his diaper. Was he still dry? This just wasn't normal. He woke every three to four hours for feeding. And for him to have a dry diaper all this time was unheard of. But he was sleeping peacefully. After making sure our son was OK we went into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. We were both to shaken up to go to bed. Did I believe in Alien Abduction prior to this? No. Not at all. Do I believe now? I would have to say, I am still on the fence. I have no clue what happened that evening. Here is a list of the things we noticed.
We both seemed to fall asleep and wake up at the same time.
We had switched places.
The clock had continued to work.
Our son never woke up.
The blanket he slept under was not even wrinkled.
The baby's diaper was still dry after 7 hours.
None of us showed any physical or mental effects from what had happened.

This is why I feel that missing time does not have to be tied into UFO's, or Aliens.
