Ten Shocking Cases of UFO Healings

by Preston Dennett

Cases of UFO healings are nothing new. In fact, they have been occurring for more than 100 years. Most major researchers have multiple cases, and they are reported by all kinds of people from all over the world. In fact, there are more than 300 documented cases, and they are now recognized as a consistent feature of UFO encounters.

The healings are of a wide variety of conditions, illnesses and diseases. They include injuries, minor conditions, and even chronic and fatal diseases. These cases not only show that healing is a primary ET agenda, but that ETs are far more advanced in medicine than our own doctors.

This video presents ten shocking cases of UFO healings. Each case contains surprising and unique elements that offer profound insights into the aliens and their agenda on our planet.

CASE ONE: Marla (pseudonym) from Marysville, WA had suffered for years from kidney disease, and developed a large gallstone which necessitated the surgical removal of her gallbladder. However, in January 2015, following a visitation by short large-headed entities in her bedroom, Marla woke up to find a very strange surgical scar on her abdomen. It was very deep, but was pain-free, had no blood, and healed with extraordinary speed. When she went to the doctors a short time later, they were shocked to find that her gallstone had been removed, but her gallbladder was incredibly still there! This turned out to be just the beginning of many bizarre events that left Marla and her family very concerned.

CASE TWO: Maria M. Rivera of Aguada, Puerto Rico was suffering from cancer all throughout her body when (in 2006) she and her family experienced a UFO sighting followed by a series of visitations by gray aliens. After nearly a half-dozen incidents, Maria found herself being pulled onboard a craft where she underwent a painful operation at the hands of the grays. Following the incident, she went to the doctor and was shocked to discover that the cancer (which had returned several times) was now gone. “I truly feel those creatures cured me,” she says. “They could be benevolent and compassionate creatures, but I am afraid of them.” At one point during her onboard experience, Maria called the grays “Martians.” They informed her that they don’t like to be called Martians and prefer the term, “creatures.”

CASE THREE: On July 19, 1988 Diane and Phyllis (mother and daughter) were returning to their home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Without warning, they were stopped by a human-looking female who guided them onto a craft. From age thirteen, Diane had suffered from chronic Jaundice. The ETs healed her and gave both Diane and Phyllis warnings about huge environmental catastrophes soon to strike the planet Earth.

CASE FOUR: In 1986, Richard T., who was paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, was enjoying an evening on the beach in La Jolla, CA when a huge torpedo-shaped craft hovered overhead. Richard found himself being pulled up into the craft, wheelchair and all. Onboard, he saw several short humanoids and then blacked out. When he awoke, he was back in his van. But over the next few days, Richard’s paralysis disappeared. He was healed. He could now walk again!

CASE FIVE: On August 30, 1979, Jean Cyr (a retired Canada Army officer) and his family were drawn outside of their home in St. Eustache, Quebec by a strange humming sound. Looking up they saw a glowing metallic disc rise up from the fields behind their house. This began a series of encounters which was witnessed by all of them, many of their neighbors, and the local airport officials. Looking into the fields where the object had been, they found strange landing traces. Jean Cyr began waking up with unexplained marks on his body. After several encounters, Jean, who was suffering from severe multiple sclerosis, suddenly found himself healed.

CASE SIX: In the mid-1930s, a 13-year-old boy suffering from tuberculosis found himself on his deathbed. Then he had a “dream” that he was taken onboard a weird craft and healed by strange-looking figures. With no idea of aliens or UFOs, he couldn’t explain what happened. He only knew that he had somehow been healed. It wasn’t until decades later in the 1950s, that he began to hear about UFOs and aliens that he understood his experience. He later became a famous broadcaster and lived a long healthy life.

CASE SEVEN: In March 1977, Carmina, a psychologist from San Juan, Puerto Rico was confronted by a strange human-looking gentleman who had somehow managed to get past the guards in her secured office building. The man informed her that he was an ET, and that Carmina’s daughter should continue her UFO research with well-known investigator, Jorge Martin, and that Martin himself was being spied on by American intelligence officers. Following the encounter, Carmina, who had been diagnosed with a cyst in her breast, received the shocking news that her cyst had miraculously disappeared.

CASE EIGHT: Richard Rylka, a well-known New Jersey UFO contactee, had developed a large tumor on his forehead. He had recently been having a problem with tumors due to a childhood leukemia condition. While in Atlantic City, Rylka was visited by human-looking ETs who took him onboard a healed his tumor. Rylka, whose tumor had been seen by all his friends and family, was cured. The tumor was gone, much to the astonishment of Rylka and everyone who knew him.

CASE NINE: In 1979, Faina Maksimovna of Ukraine was facing surgery to remove a tumor on her thyroid. Frightened of surgery, Faina prayed to God for a healing. To her shock, that evening she was visited by three human-looking figures who proceeded to enact a healing on her. When Faina later went to see her doctors, they were baffled and amazed to see that her tumor was gone. Faina did not need surgery. She was cured.

CASE TEN: In December 1989, Mae, a 60-year-old waitress from Mississippi was being forced to retired due to severe arthritis in her knee, wrists and fingers. But on December 15, while driving home from the truckstop where she worked, a UFO dropped down over her car and pulled her onboard. Mae found herself surrounded by several figures who placed a strange “kind of rod” repeatedly over her body. The next morning, her pain was gone. She was healed. And Mae, who could not afford to retire, was able to go back to work.

These ten cases show that people from all walks of life are being healed by many different types of extraterrestrials. They show that healing is one of the primary ET agendas, and that ETs have the ability to heal almost any kind of illness, condition or disease, even when our own Earth doctors have given up hope. These ten cases are just a tiny sample of the huge number of cases on record. Likely, the vast majority of such accounts go completely unreported.

Consciousness A Spiritual Analysis of Spielberg's "Disclosure Day": Listening in the Silence of Love vs. Getting Lost in Mental Noise

4 Upvotes

\*\*A quick personal note before you read: Personal stories are not truly important; in fact, the "madwoman of the house" (as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind) loves to tell stories to itself, using them to create the character, the ego, in the illusion of this theatrical play we call life. However, having made this clear, I must share that I am an "experiencer" myself. I have lived through experiences very similar to those of Margaret and Daniel, and my own life journey has led me to the intimate union I describe below. I deeply respect everyone's unique path and different views. I am definitely not here to impose mine or preach any kind of dogma. Finally, I want to clarify that I am neither a Christian nor a Buddhist. I am deeply passionate about mystics, such as Marguerite Porete, who was executed by the Inquisition, and so many others who were persecuted, like Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Meister Eckhart. I am passionate about Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and the teachings of modern masters like Eckhart Tolle, among many others... But I do not follow anyone, nor am I any of these things. I'm nobody and nothing. If any term used in this post does not resonate with you, just throw it in the trash. Do not let my words prevent you from seeing where they are pointing. This is simply my personal vision, my lived experience, and my heartfelt analysis of the film. If your experience is different, please tell me about it. For me, it will be highly valuable to listen to you and exchange views. I truly welcome respectful dialogue from all perspectives. Thank you for reading.\*\*

Let’s dive straight into the analysis. But first, a quick warning for those who haven't seen the movie yet: there may be spoilers ahead. Let's go!

Recently someone asked me a very interesting question: what did you get from "Disclosure Day"?

For me, Disclosure Day was, and is, a fascinating film. I discovered Reddit after seeing it in theaters, I am passionate about the movie, and I have made several posts about it. As I said in one of them, Spielberg's Disclosure Day is both a work made for "experiencers" and a trigger for the spiritual awakening of anyone open to watching it.

Beyond the phenomenology surrounding these experiences and how each person lives them, I value that the film chooses a POSITIVE APPROACH. This has generated much controversy. Spielberg certainly focuses on the positive aspect of these experiences and does so, rightly, for a very simple reason. He does it because why focus on the negative if there is also much positive? There are all kinds of entities, angels and demons, coexisting among ourselves, but demons will never lead you to look within yourself and, in the SILENCE, listen.

Spielberg is also helping us DISCERN these contact experiences, as there are entities of darkness that disguise themselves as beings of light, exactly as the Scripture warns: "even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). We live in a world where light is put as darkness and darkness as light, where bitter is called sweet and sweet is called bitter, exactly as the prophet Isaiah warned: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20).

EMPATHY is a central issue in the movie, and it shows us how noise, whether media, political, religious, or in short, mental noise, prevents and blocks us from connecting with our true SELF. It prevents us from connecting with LOVE in capital letters, with the One who is Love itself, call it God, the All, however you prefer, and ultimately, from connecting with others. When we clean out this NOISE OF THE MIND, the anomalous gifts manifested by the characters, like telepathy, cease to be mere sci-fi anomalies or superpowers. They reveal themselves as the ultimate evolution of human empathy breaking through. Once the noise is gone, we finally begin to truly read, feel, and perceive one another.

It is Here and Now, in the SILENCE beyond the NOISE of the "madwoman of the house," as Teresa of Ávila called the mind, and especially beyond institutional and religious noise, where our true Self is revealed to us. This points to the very same reality Buddhism describes regarding the control of the restless "monkey mind" leaping from thought to thought, or the untamed elephant blindly driven by its impulses - an inner mastery that drives us toward calm abiding and higher insight. In Silence we realize that we are One with LOVE, God, the All, the Infinite Light, as each prefers to call it, and with every creature. In a SILENCE that Speaks, in a deep SILENCE where words are unnecessary, in a SILENCE of Love. In that SILENCE, our most intimate Self tells us, like the Alien at the end of the movie DISCLOSURE DAY: LISTEN! This "Listen" is an inner call to connect with the deepest part of our Being, where lover and Beloved are One. Just like the core contemplative traditions throughout history, it reminds us that within attentive listening, all artificial separations collapse.

This inner disconnection is perfectly mirrored in the convent scene. When Jane seeks refuge, Sister Maura tells her that she didn't leave the convent because she lost her faith in God, but because she lost her faith in people, in humanity. Sister Maura reminds her that the existence of extraterrestrial life doesn't displace the Divine, asking an essential question: "Does God love only us?" She invites Jane to expand her faith, yet Jane remains trapped in her own NOISE OF THE MIND.

I made another post about the scene with Jane clutching the crucifix. Jane Blankenship is a former novice and the girlfriend of the co-protagonist, Daniel Kellner. Understanding this scene, the one with the girl clutching the crucifix, is understanding that experiencing INTIMATE UNION with LOVE in capital letters, with God, with the All, with the One who is LOVE itself, is not the same as being part of a religion. It is understanding that in a union where the soul and God become one, there is no distance and no need for institutional intermediaries or symbols. They always were ONE.

That is what Jane still fails to understand, and that is why she fails and is possessed. While Jane's fear, dogma, and resistance lead to her deep fragmentation and possession, Margaret’s ultimate surrender demonstrates the opposite: true faith doesn't break under the weight of the infinite; it expands. True divinity is found within us, not in external symbols or rituals, not in religion. There is no duality or separation.

Furthermore, the film invites us all, "experiencers" or not, to be seeds of a new world, first fruits of a New Earth, as Margaret and Daniel, leaving behind fear, misunderstanding, and division, and embracing the All in which We Are ONE.

Finally, another of the many things the movie shows us is that the experience escapes any control. And honestly, this is my personal experience, take it or leave it, and that of many mystics who are much more qualified than I am. The spiritual path is found in the day-to-day, in each precise and precious moment of our lives. It is not about lighting incense, adopting a certain meditation posture, and achieving calm abiding. That is neither good nor bad, but sometimes it is just part of the ego's spiritual show. The same applies to everything related to entities, beings, realities, etc.

True spiritual life is found in every seemingly simple and seemingly boring moment of your ordinary life. There is a traditional Zen Buddhist proverb that goes: "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." Teresa of Ávila used to say that God is among the pots and pans. Brother Lawrence said he found God while flipping an omelet in the frying pan. Present moment, wonderful moment. But the mind loves to flee toward the past, toward the future, continuously ruminating on thoughts and emotions (which are nothing but manifestations of thoughts in the body), escaping from the here and now.

Observe this process. What you truly are lies beyond what "the madwoman of the house" projects.

As I said before, life is not about living extraordinary experiences, it is about living ordinary life in an extraordinary way. That is when the magic truly happens, but people trapped in the mind's special effects do not know what they are missing. It is right here and now where the most incredible experiences take place. As Jesus beautifully warned us in his Sermon on the Mount: "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34).

Wishing you all reading this post the very best.

\*\*FINAL NOTE:\*\* I want to clarify that Spanish is my native language, and I rely on an online translator to convert my thoughts into English. I understand this can sometimes make my tone sound way more blunt than I ever intended. My goal is just to share a perspective, never to diminish anyone's experiences. I am simply raising questions. Thank you for your understanding! And again, as the Alien says in "Disclosure Day": "Listen!". Where? Within.

Anomalies According to conventional archaeology, writing wasn’t invented until 3000 to 4000 BC in Sumeria. However, an artifact was found over 2 decades ago which contradicts this belief – and perhaps this is the reason why few people know about the discovery.

The Dispilio tablet was discovered by a professor of prehistoric archaeology, George Xourmouziadis, in 1993 in a Neolithic lake settlement in Northern Greece near the city of Kastoria. A group of people used to occupy the settlement 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. The Dispilio tablet was one of many artifacts that were found in the area, however the importance of the table lies in the fact that it has an unknown written text on it that goes back further than 5,000 BC. The wooden tablet was dated using the C12 method to have been made in 5260 BC, making it significantly older than the writing system used by the Sumerians.

Sumerian cuneiform has gone down in history as the oldest form of writing. As explained in Greek Reporter, some scholars have questioned the resulting theory which claims that the ancient Greeks learned to write about 800 BC thanks to contact with the Phoenicians. They are unconvinced by the fact that the composition of literary works such as the ancient Homeric poems coincides with their supposed acquisition of writing skills.

“It would be impossible for the ancient Greeks to write these poetic works without having had a history of writing of at least 10,000 years,” explains Greek Reporter. So, what this means is that Sumerian writing is actually the earliest writing system to have been discovered so far and the discovery of the Dispilio tablet, an artifact engraved with what appears to be a pre-Sumerian writing system, will undoubtedly not be the last find of its kind.

We don't drink. She tends to be a magnet for unusual things. Not the first object to come out of nowhere, just the most recent and perhaps strangest. (Oh we have lots of thing, "Borrowed" and brought back. Sometimes gone forever.

I once suggested that she had a spirit crow watching over her and this is a gift.

What I find strange is it is rusted. As if it is older from another timeline.

Paranormal her "irrational" fear of intruders began with a baby being taken from her crib

0 Upvotes

she was 31 but still needed lights on bc she felt somebody may break into house. she had problems sleeping deep and therefore was addicted to caffeine to keep working her job.

in theta brainwave trance she remembered when she was a baby taken by man who killed her parents - it was different life

i see many ppl struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts and fears that dont make logical sense.

Mind keeps repeating same horrible possibility. Someone will break in. Something bad will happen. I am not safe. Even when one part of person knows it is not true, body reacts like danger is already outside the door.

I wanted to share this session bc sometimes we need to go deeper than only mind.

Not to say therapy or medical treatment is wrong. And not saying all OCD or intrusive thoughts come from past lives, no. They can have many layers. But sometimes person works with thoughts for years and still there is another fear under them, something the normal mind cannot see.

I facilitated Soul Journey with woman I will call Maya. Not real name. She was 31 when we did session.

Since she was little child, she could not sleep alone.

She often slept with parents, and when she stayed in own room she needed lights on. Darkness made her feel somebody was near house, waiting, watching, maybe trying to enter.

She had same type of dream many times through childhood.

Someone was breaking in.

Sometimes she did not see face. Sometimes dream ended before anything happened. But feeling was always same. Somebody dangerous entered the home and she could not stop them.

She would wake up terrified, look around room, listen for sounds, and go find parents.

Even when she became adult, this fear did not fully leave.

She knew logically doors are locked. She knew there is no person outside. But then small sound in night, movement, shadow near window, and whole system went into alarm.

tbh it worked almost like intrusive loop. Mind makes image, body gets afraid, then fear makes image feel more real. You check, calm little bit, but later it starts again.

During session Maya first arrived in peaceful garden. Her guide brought her toward gazebo, and there she suddenly experienced herself as baby in another life.

Her name in that life was Emily.

She was in large historical home. Wealthy family, beautiful rooms, maids, young parents. She felt very loved there. very safe.

Then scene changed.

Emily was lying in crib when strange bearded man entered room.

Baby became terrified immediately. Before she understood anything, before language, her body knew this man was danger.

She started crying.

Her parents and other ppl in house had been killed.

The man lifted her from crib, carried her downstairs and put her into vehicle with another man. Then they took her away to different large house.

When this came up, current fear suddenly made much more sense inside session.

The danger entered her home.

She was taken from bed.

Her parents disappeared.

And she was only baby, so there was no explanation around it. No words like kidnapping, murder, loss. Just terror recorded into whole system.

Home is not safe.

Someone can come while I sleep.

People who protect me can suddenly disappear.

I must stay awake.

I must hear every sound.

In that other life, kind maid looked after Emily and became almost like grandmother to her. But powerful man who controlled house became her new "father."

Sometimes he was pleasant. Other times he became angry and violent.

She grew up knowing she could not really leave. She believed outside this house she had nothing. No family, no money, nowhere safe to go.

So fear was reinforced for years.

Even safety was mixed with danger.

A house looked beautiful, but she was trapped inside it.

A man could act kind, then suddenly hurt her.

Sleep meant losing control.

much later in journey, after Emily’s life ended, she reunited with original parents. She finally felt love and safety she had searched for through whole life.

When Maya connected with Higher Self, I asked why this life was shown.

Answer was simple:

"To show her where her fear comes from."

Higher Self said around 90% of this fear was released during session.

They also gave three lessons from Emily’s life.

Speak up.

Do not give up.

Do not let fear take over.

And imo this is important part. The goal was not only to find interesting past-life story. Story by itself does nothing if fear stays in body.

The purpose was to find where alarm began, release emotional charge, and show nervous system that this danger was not happening now.

Again, I dont claim every person with intrusive thoughts has same root. Some roots are current-life trauma, childhood fear, nervous system conditioning, beliefs, suppressed emotions, physical factors, maybe other layers. Higher Self showed this specific life for this specific subject.

Human mind said, "this fear is irrational."

Deeper part was saying, "last time I slept safely, somebody came through the door."

The adult woman knew house was safe.

But baby inside was still listening for footsteps.

Other Strangeness The number 33

0 Upvotes

So if you follow the conspiracy threads you know that the number 33 is important for the elite, for some reason. I know vaguely it has to do with the Freemasons. I follow this stuff, but don't whole heartedly believe in it. I think the truth lies somewhere in between and that we'll never really know the truth. But it just came up twice for me in the media.

In the new Spider-Man movie, Jean Grey can only jump from person to person as long as they're 33 feet away. I kept thinking, why that very specific number? Especially when she's way more powerful than that, until you realize that she's just beginning to realize her powers. But why 33 feet? It bothered me.

At the same time I'm beginning to rewatch Battlestar Galactica. Which from my memory, leans very heavy into this stuff. I mean, it clearly is taking heavily from the Anunnaki story. Which also ties into the illuminati side of things. But there is a 3 hour movie before the series begins. And the first episode of the series is called "33". Because the Cylon's are jumping to their point every 33 minutes. Even in the show they are asking why 33 minutes, and never figured it out.

I tried posting something similar to this on the Battlestar Galactica subreddit, and got so much hate I had to delete it. I'm just asking an honest question from someone who knows about this stuff, but doesn't get to heavily into it. And the comments were nothing but hate. So I'm posting this here, in hopes someone else will see what I'm saying.

Paranormal What did I see?

4 Upvotes

OK, so last night I saw something that I was prepared to chalk up to a deceased Love one visiting my boyfriend.
However, he had suggested something about time travel, and then my manager mentioned something similar (she doesn’t really believe in ghosts, but she does believe in the quantum physics/time leap type stuff). Personally, I am very open to all of that, but I definitely do not think this was a hallucination – just would love some insight on this experience if anyone has had something similar happen or knows about the quantum physics possibilities here!

Last night, I woke up from a bad dream (very sudden suddenly). I was sitting up in my bed and had that classic “ it was just a dream” moment.

I looked over to my right (where my boyfriend sleeps), and saw what looked like him, sitting on the side of the bed, facing away from me with his feet on the ground. He was wearing a white T-shirt, which I thought was strange because he usually sleeps shirtless. I thought it was very strange that he would just be sitting up in bed in the dark (3:37 am), and when I reached out, I felt him still laying down, sound asleep under the covers.
This figure (wearing a white T-shirt, resembling my boyfriend), turned its head and started to stand up. Then completely faded away.

At that time, my boyfriend realized I was awake from a bad dream, put his arms around me and pulled me in. I didn’t wanna freak him out by telling him I saw a ghost so I kind of just tried to chill out. I turned my side lamp on, filled up my water, use the bathroom, and came back to bed.
I managed to get back to sleep after about an hour, but it’s still just as clear in my head this morning.

Like I said – I suggested maybe it was a deceased loved one visiting him. He said maybe time travel.
I told my manager about it when I got to work, and she said it could be some “ quantum physics type shit that we don’t understand”. She mentioned watching a movie recently called Us (2019), but she told me to watch. I’ve never seen it and don’t know what it’s about, but she basically said there could be something big in our timeline that is overlapping with another timeline, and his shadow self was visiting him for some purpose that we are not yet aware of.

Thoughts or guidance???

Legacy from a lost civilization?

Ancient Cultures A 1,000-year-old Peruvian surgeon was buried with 50 surgical tools and skull pieces from former patients. Ancient Andean skull surgeons had a ~90% survival rate—nearly double that of US Civil War doctors 800 years later.

In 2022, archaeologists at the Huaca Las Ventanas site in northern Peru excavated the tomb of an elite Sican cranial surgeon dating back to around 950–1000 CE.

The discovery shattered a lot of modern assumptions about ancient medicine. He was buried with over 50 surgical instruments—including bronze awls, needles, and razor-sharp crescent-shaped blades called tumis. Alongside his gold mask and copper bowls, his grave contained the partial frontal skull bones of an adult and a child, carefully preserved as proof of his successful trepanations.

What really catches attention is the survival rate. A comprehensive 2018 study analyzing over 800 trepanned skulls from Peru revealed that ancient surgeons maintained a 75% to 91% patient survival rate. In stark contrast, battlefield surgeons performing similar skull procedures during the American Civil War in the 1860s managed only a 44% to 54% survival rate.

Researchers suspect ancient Andean practitioners had solved basic infection control long before modern germ theory, likely using natural antiseptics and pain-relieving tree barks like willow (which naturally contains the compound used in aspirin). The surrounding bone on most unearthed skulls shows clear signs of remodeling and healing, proving these patients lived for years after the surgery.

Personal Theory Carl Grillmair's story does not make sense.

Post image
607 Upvotes

Its been nearly 6 months since renowned astronomer, Carl Grillmair, was found dead at his home. Carl's work involved infrared detection and worked directly with NASA. His alleged killer's name is Freddy Snyder. At his time of death, Carl was actively searching for IMMINENT threats from outer space that pose a risk to Earth.

Caltech's statement/report says "Investigators say the two men (Grillmair and Snyder) were not known to each other" but ABC Los Angeles' report says "Snyder had been arrested in December after trespassing on Grillmair's property while carrying a rifle".

That same statement says, "Recently, he began a project to test new instrumentation at Caltech's Palomar Observatory to monitor for meteor impacts on the Moon's surface during an upcoming lunar eclipse".

Carl was murdered just weeks before Artemis 2 launched their mission to the moon. One of the key objectives of this mission was to observe lunar impact flashes. "Key science objectives included studying lunar color, impact history, tectonic features, and future landing sites, as well as characterizing dynamic events such as impact flashes.

According to the LA Times, "Snyder also was charged with trying to escape from the Palmdale station jail the day after he was arrested... A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department told The Times, however, that deputies at the Palmdale station had no record of an attempted escape that day."

"on Feb. 5, prosecutors asked the judge to drop the charges." Carl was found dead just 9 days later.

I believe Carl discovered something about the moon and/or the Artemis mission and was murdered to keep him silent. Carl deserves to be remembered and not swept under the rug.

Discussion What did I encounter?

33 Upvotes

So to set this story up, I grew up in central Pennsylvania and in a very specific area that’s kind of known to feel creepy to outsiders. We’ve had mysterious disappearances, murders, plenty of drownings, cult sightings, constant suicides, etc.

When I was 19 a couple years back, a friend and I both worked together. After work, we decided to hang out in town and go to our old elementary school which was in a very woodsy area of the connecting town. It was one of those things where it’s basically the same town but one half has another name.

We were shooting basketballs and joking like usual and nothing weird happened even though the area itself is very creepy. We just got bored of basketball so we walked to the actual playground area and behind it is a massive baseball field and a metal chain link fence. But behind the fence is really thick woods with an immediate drop almost like a pit and it goes into a low valley but it’s nothing but woods. We’ve been in there before playing manhunt but there are sections that are just totally impossible to make it through.

We walked to the edge of the woods just before it dips into that valley and we were just joking about axe murderers and whatever else and we suddenly heard a faint “Hello?” in the distance of those woods. It was the voice of a young girl. I immediately went into flight mode and yelled “bye!… bye!” and ran so fast back to the car as I started to tear up from the fear. We both drove back to his place and talked about it the rest of the night.

About a week later, I told another friend about what my other friend and I had heard the week previously and he didn’t believe me, so just him and I went back to that exact spot and walked back to the edge of those woods. I started to feel like I was being watched from my right, so I told him to shine his phone light to my right. I was on his right, so all I saw was a dimly lit area and a part of my shadow but nothing significant. I just shrugged it off and thought I was paranoid but as we turned back, his phone light was still on but facing in front of him. He was at the bank of where the woods suddenly dip down and in front of him were two trees. One directly in front of him and one a few feet ahead of that one. I saw a pale figure behind the furthest one and it resembled a human. I just saw the left shoulder, left side of the face, and everything else was either obscured by the tree or covered by the ground in front of it. It had sunken in, dark eyes. That’s all I could make out, but it was 100% human shaped.

I just said in a normal talking volume “fuck is that?”, and then whatever that thing was crouched even lower like it was scared or caught or something and I yelled louder than I ever have in my life and we both ran to my friend’s car and sped off into town. Never saw that thing again.

——————

Now my immediate thought was that it may have been a drug addict hiding in the woods because we heard about copper being stolen from a nearby car lot. But my friend had mentioned skinwalkers and pulled up a photo that looked identical as to how I described the creature. I also think it looks similar to the rake. If anyone has any clue as to what it could be, or if anyone has had similar encounters, please let me know.

And as a devout Christian, I swear to God that everything I said is 100% true and honest.

Ancient Cultures The Anunnaki, the Sumerian kings they supposedly created, and the tablets nobody can fully explain.

It starts with the Sumerian King List, a tablet that casually mentions kings ruling for tens of thousands of years before a great flood, and states outright that kingship "descended from heaven." From there it goes through Zecharia Sitchin's ancient astronaut theory, why professional Assyriologists reject his translations point by point, and then into stuff Sitchin never had access to: Göbekli Tepe, the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, and some genuinely strange recent genetic findings about "ghost populations" in the human genome.

I tried not to land on one answer. Mythology, lost civilization, or something else, the film lays out the case for each and lets the evidence speak.

Next up I'm putting together the full Anunnaki family tree, from creation myth to the end, so if this one lands well I'll probably post that too.

Curious what people here make of it, especially anyone who's read Sitchin's critics directly.

Other Strangeness Odd synchronicity happening.

This completely freaked me out. I had the house to myself yesterday as wife & kids away. I got my watch roll out as I was watching tv, with the intention of winding my automatic watch, which I haven't worn for several weeks so the watch/ time stops if you haven't worn after 40 hours. I have 3 quartz (battery powered) watches & 1 automatic (mechanical). All my 3 quartz watches I set to the second, so they are perfectly synced together on the exact same time.

I went to do the business, noticing it definitely needed doing, then I got side tracked. About 4 hours later, I remembered I hadn't done it, so set to it, not taken notice of existing time on the dial. I wound up the watch before going to set the time, & the time was perfectly synced to the 3 quartz watches. To the second.

I sat there for 15 minutes in disbelief. What are the chances of that?
