The supernatural and the paranormal have both been very prolific subjects in my life for several decades! The attraction to both began in me as a young teenager. I'm not real sure if the original attraction started by watching too many horror shows on tv but that was probably a catalyst for my
interest, though I am convinced it wasn't the main source. Most likely it came from encountering
something unexplained to me when I was about 11 years old!
I have actually described before in earlier posts the incident that my brother and I had just after
dark on one of the streets in our neighborhood during the summer. We were walking around the
neighborhood, near some railroad tracks on a slight hill just above us on a hill. Throwing rocks, picking up sticks and pretty much trying to enjoy the last minutes of freedom before we had to go in the house.
Right before we would hear the familiar whistle from our dad standing in the front door calling for us to come home, we were amazed to see what we thought was a falling star. A normal sight for our
area in the summer time and yet we never got tired of seeing this spectacle. This one was different,
however, as it streamed from the right side of the sky and shot toward the left side, its tail full and
sparkling. At the point it came just in front of us, suddenly, it came to a quick stop and sunk to the
ground in a vertical line. It actually appeared to be under some kind of control and it 'landed', if
you will, in a distant field, or so it seemed.
what did we just see, I am sure we asked each other? We probably stood for only another couple of minutes but I am not sure. Our memories seem to stop after the thing went straight to the ground.
I have no recollection of getting back home before dad whistled again, something we did not want to happen, or how long it was until we got there. I only remember with clarity what I saw and I think
my brother will remember it too. It certainly looked like a falling star but its actions were not
normal for one!
From that time until today, I have been fascinated with the paranormal, mostly in the area of ufo
studies, and also in the fields of what today is labeled as cryptids. The legend of Bigfoot, the mystery
of the Lochness Monster and werewolves, or Dogmen! These things are still mocked and scoffed at
by most people today but the number of reported encounters and sightings continues to increase!
It is my intention to continue in my studies and to try my best to reveal the truth about these
mysterious subjects, whether that means proving their reality or their myth..We shall see which
one turns out to be the answer.
I know full well what my belief is about them and I look forward to the exploration and
the compiling of information in our searches of the unknown.
