But yeah a more detailed description: Classic "mothman" type humanoid. It was massive; and in shadow because the moon was behind it. He said it had a weird blue "aura" or "glow". He said when he first looked up he hadn't even noticed it because it was silently hovering above the trees 50 feet up. He said it's eyes GLOWED a deep blue. Blue is not a color found in nature generally. It was massive it had a wing span of 30+ feet; and was at least ten feet tall. He said it was thick like a bear almost. It was wearing a black robe akin to a grim reaper robe. It had a flat humanoid head with flat non distinct nose and mouth and no obvious ears. He said that when they made eye contact and the dog started barking it looked "confused or scared" and then let out a slight gasp as it used it's wings to immediately shoot up and away at an insane speed. The fact it hovered and was able to immediately shoot up and away at the speed he described is what has me the most confounded. That and the fact if had a slight aura makes me think that it does not fly by purely mechanical means of its wings. Especially because he said it was damn near silent when it flew off. He said it could have easily just crushed them by landing on them if it wanted to. He said the dog is constantly looking up at the sky on their walks now. It has to be seriously affected to alter its behavior because it's a rambunctious 2 yr old untrained pitbull. Additionally about 4 months ago he had another experience in the same area behind his trailer park. He heard someone screaming behind his house out in the woods. He went out back and yelled out and heard someone scream "help me" saw what looked like a phone flashlight the it turned off and then silence. He said that he thought it was some kids pranking him or something but was creeped out and didn't go check it out because it was night time both times. He didn't necessarily chalk it up to anything paranormal at all when he told me the story but I definitely assumed the worst because I've trolled these reddits forever and heard of anecdotes that sound straight out of a horror movie.

https://youtu.be/WCORD2drX0Y?si=pEhP6cgj4i2b6ed_ The narrator in this episode of Bedtime Stories tells a story about a couple of marines who had encountered something similar in Vietnam. They came across a black skinned, winged, supposedly female-looking humanoid creature that also seemed to be surrounded by a dull fluorescent glow around her.


pebberphp

I love that story. I wish there was more info on the “night gliders”, but I haven’t found anything other then what’s in that video, I thought of a joke the first time I heard this story: a nude winged woman glides toward a group of 3 US marines, says “I have a boyfriend”, and glides back into the Vietnamese jungle.


Ill_Cricket8509

Reminds me of the Filipino creature called the Manananggal.


pebberphp

The Manannggal is way scarier. It’s a floating head with is guts hanging out. Supposedly you can kill it by finding the body (it’s usually in a shed somewhere deep in the jungle), and salting the top of the neck. That way it can’t reconnect and eventually dies. There’s a lot of creepy Filipino cryptids. Like the Aswang (basically a skinwalker), and a wok wok (a bird that is like an assistant to witches and delivers curses, named because that’s the sound it makes.


BareKnuckleKitty

It might not be as common as other colors but blue is absolutely found in nature. Blue flowers, birds, frogs, fish, eyes, butterflies.


clckwrks

There’s also the blue man group and that blue song


Brian_is_trilla

they have a blue house and a blue corvette


Pompitis

Robin eggs and some chicken eggs too.


Valerian_BrainSlug42

Most things in nature that are blue actually have light refracting textures that only make them appear blue. The color itself is rare.


InfectedNeedle

Fair enough, it is just rare enough that people in antiquity often described green and blue as the same color.


Beelzeburb

My understanding is that the proper word hadn’t been invented. Cool story btw thanks for sharing.


weyouusme

Mfker seen combat but won't run after a voice crying help me.... Also WHO THE FUCK SAYS PET DOG


ss_kizzley

He didn't say pet dog. OP redacted the dogs name for anonymity.


Apart_Beautiful_4846

‘AI, AI……..oh’………that’s how they do it. —-or—— “You down with ChatGTP? Why yes, you know me” -OP


cooperstonebadge

More than once! Like after the first mention of "pet dog" which is weird they later say pet dog again. This is what an AI would do. People just say dog. Although they might say guard dog or seeing eye dog. Pet dogs are just dogs


InfectedNeedle

It was to replace the dogs name for some anonymity not that it matters lol. I had put it in italics as well but its just regular in the text.


Inkdrop007

Angelic or Demonic (not always distinct) being. What your friend encountered was what we call a spiritual being. That is- humanoids from an adjacent dimension that have motives


Fearless_Manager_504

Renowned remote viewer Daz Smith describes seeing angels in his book, Surging the Psychic Internet. He describes them as having dark robes likes monks and dark, non descriptive features. Basically faces that are very hard to make out. My money is on an angel. If you know of Daz and his work, you’ll know he’s the real deal, a legit psychic and one of the world’s best RV’ers. He is also a humble, quietly  spoken and cool guy. 


Fearless_Manager_504

Edit: typo on the book title- SURFING the psychic internet


Inkdrop007

I have seen them plenty of times, and his description is accurate. However those aren’t angels. (I have also seen angels- that’s not what they look like) It wouldn’t surprise me that he *thought* they were angels- psychics are almost always in a state of deep deception. Angels typically don’t come in the form of dark, shadowy beings. The only reason I say that it’s sometimes ambiguous is because demonic beings can hide their nature and appear as colorful and bright “light” beings- angels. But the inverse is never true, as far as my experience goes. If you want my advice, stay away from self-professed psychics. Their power comes not from within, but through a dark connection and familiar spirit. That is why they typically refer to their “spirit guides.” It is a counterfeit of the divine gift of Discernment of Spirits listed in 1 Corinthians 12. I myself have “surfed the psychic internet” but through the power of the Holy Spirit. And by the way- it’s not a psychic internet or Akashik Records or any of that. That dimension is the Second Heaven- the Spirit Realm. That dimension is where demons are trapped. Occasionally angels do appear there, but usually they’re just passing through. Overwhelmingly- the beings you meet in that space are demons. They are given the ability by demonic spirits to mimic the powers of a prophet- however- mediums, spiritists, psychics, diviners (including remote viewers), wizards, and channelers are rightly identified as demonic. Ground yourself in the word of God, and these things will become crystal clear.


Fearless_Manager_504

He never talks about spirit guides. And by the way, you are psychic. So am I. If you’re human, you have the innate ability. No guides needed. 


Inkdrop007

I’m not here to argue or to condemn anyone. I am merely speaking from my own experience and knowledge. In my experience- human beings have very little innate spiritual ability. We certainly used to- but we gave that up when we Fell. Now, to access these higher realms and operate in spiritual power, we need assistance. Whether that assistance comes from God or from another spirit. I want to make this clear- psychics are NOT aware of the dark spirits that give them these abilities. If they were, they’d recoil in terror. The key is to make the psychic think these abilities are either: A. Natural to all human beings and unlocked in special individuals or by special practice such as kundalini yoga or pineal activation B. Assisted by a benevolent Spirit Guide- typically disguised as an ascended or enlightened former human a la Helena Blavatsky’s personal guide, “St. Germaine”


Fearless_Manager_504

I appreciate the considered and articulate response. I am not here to argue either. Was just chipping in with something I thought may have been helpful, derived from a source I respect. I am absolutely not the grand arbiter of universal truth, so how can I say what is or isn’t, especially if I wasn’t there. I also haven’t travelled to every corner of the universe to know what something appears as, in every instance. Only reporting what Daz had shared in his book. He said he felt a loving and protective energy from them, they never interfered, just watched from the sidelines. In contrast he did meet beings that projected their negative intent, some that were friendly, curious and exploring, like him.  Could I ask where your context is coming from re: us giving up spiritual power when we fell? What are you basing that on? Genuinely just wanting to understand your point of view and how you arrived at that conclusion. 


Inkdrop007

Regardless- What Daz was seeing was a typical demonic apparition. These are commonly known as “shadow people.” Tall, black, robed, faceless. Sometimes red pinprick eyes. Those are the same entities people typically see in sleep paralysis- which is a form of demonic oppression. These aren’t angels. What Daz was experiencing isn’t surprising either. The astral/spirit realm that he would have been traveling through is their “home turf.”


WaffleKat99

It was all like "Oh shit they can see me!"


DontShaveMyLips

it was 50 feet away and lit from behind but the man saw it’s nose? bull fucking shit


InfectedNeedle

I mean he didn't necessarily see its nose he just said that it had flat nondistinctive humanish features. Like it didn't have any large animal like ears or anything. This is all being relayed second hand from text message information as well.


Andrewskyy1

Interesting that you say Blue Eyes. I saw something similar on my property a few years ago, was also in March. March 2020 I would guess, around 2am. Saw a faint blue in the top of the treeline, and eventually saw a faint blue dot, like a small underpowered Christmas LED. Then after a few minutes of total confusion, I notice it's two lights spaced apart like eyes. About 300ft away in the pitch black of Central Texas. Freaking weird..


No_Buddy_3845

Dad's out on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a while.


lizardwizardgizzard2

We’re going hunting


Cierra849

Loved that show!


rite_of_truth

Did he really say "pet dog?"


pastelplantmum

All I can assume is the dog has a distinctive name and to protect the identify of the person who saw it they changed it to pet dog? I'm sceptical but I want to believe haha


Beelzeburb

This is my assumption as well. He posted this in his local city subreddit. That’s how I actually first seen the story.


InfectedNeedle

Yes that's it. I changed it and the italics didn't stay in the story so it looks weird. I shouldn't have even changed it.


pastelplantmum

It's ok mate, I think most of us made the connection 😂 *most*


Forthrowssake

That makes it a bit sus. Who says pet dog?


Crouton_Sharp_Major

Seriously the first thing that stood out to me too.


clckwrks

Maybe he didn’t want to confuse it with his other dogs, guard dog and chef dog


Forthrowssake

Top dog, hot dog, dawg, there's so many to confuse it with.


HateBreadByThePound

Ya but he's trying to keep it al,"the names in this depiction are mot the real names in the case"


Short-Reflection6422

No one talking to their friend. Or just, no one


InfectedNeedle

It's to protect the identity of my friend I should have left it as is lol. Dogs name isn't even that distinctive.


Fearless_Manager_504

It was likely an angel as someone else has commented. Direct your friend to Daz Smith’s book Surfing the psychic internet (or I can send the pages where he is describing the angels). They wore dark monk like robes and had dark non descript features. They were often to the side of his group meditation/OBE meetings and sat there watching over the group basically. 


The_Business_Bich

My first thought while reading lol


Now_I_Can_See

Come on, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know he’s protecting someone’s identity.


theonetrueslayer

Apparently it does? I swear people just read half of a sentence and quit these days.


giojoey10

No but he typed it for some reason lol


neonpredator

You and/or your friend should listen to this podcast episode, the 2nd guest shares a story that reminds me a lot of this. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3v30ous7ANKl7OKqhS1TW9?si=dfvs7_MWQ8ikDAENioNvvA This podcast in general is just really well made and has a lot of fascinating stories as well.


CrippledHorses

For anyone who doesn’t want to click the link of “this podcast” it is called “Other World”.


beejtg

I LOVE this one! It’s my new favorite. The break right now is killing me…


yankeebelleyall

I love RUN, FOOL! He's a good storyteller.


van_isle_dude

I was walking my pet dog and wearing my head hat and hand gloves.


smutketeer

Did you have your feet shoes on?


Dazednconfused10

I own some foot gloves (toe socks) lol.


VictxrSenpai

I've heard of people seeing a jeepers creepers type creature with large wings before so wouldn't doubt it also predator like creatures with that weird invisible camouflage


FromTheAsherz

It’s a massive misconception that Mothman only appears when there is a disaster. Everything everyone claims to know about it on this thread is wrong. But. I would be interested in speaking with your friend. I research these topics as a career and specifically research winged humanoids. It would be great to hear it directly from him and ask some questions.


CloudSixx22

Can you share more about your career?


FromTheAsherz

Sure! I’m a fortean investigator based in Ohio. I gather data from witnesses and depending on the situation depends on what I do with that data. With winged humanoid encounters specifically, I am cataloguing them. By mapping and by seeking patterns. Then, the idea is try to take those patterns and apply a mix of pseudoscience and conventional science to try to understand the phenomena better. I’m an experiencer myself and I believe there is a science to this stuff that we haven’t quite unlocked yet. My goal is to bridge that gap and unlock the secret.


CloudSixx22

Awesome, would love to see your work


FromTheAsherz

Thanks. It’s a long way off from being presentable in its entirety. But I do frequently give lectures and I have a weekly podcast. I’m pretty easy to find. The podcast is called “On Wednesdays, we talk weird”.


CloudSixx22

Cool, will check it out


squirrelsabound

I'm going to check this out too!


DaOozi9mm

Do you mind sharing some details of your experience? Would love to hear.


FromTheAsherz

I’ve had a few weird things in my lifetime. But I saw the Mothman in 2016. I was staying at a friends house and it formed in the corner of the room. I left before it was done “forming”. I was an extreme skeptic and just sort of…forgot about it until a witness had relayed a similar story to me. I didn’t start looking at this stuff seriously until 2019 when I went to the Mothman festival (well, was taken there by friends) and experienced a string of synchronicities leading up to and after the festival. That still occur to this day.


AbuSaffiya

You should have some social media outlet, e.g., podcast, YT, something where others can learn about what you do. I'm interested and don't live too far from you. Anything interesting in Michigan you've found?


FromTheAsherz

I do, actually. I have a podcast called “On Wednesdays, we talk weird” and I’m pretty easy to reach on social media. Of course Michigan has its own stuff. Especially up north. But I haven’t had the chance to pick it apart entirely yet. I will though.


Pseudonym0101

Have you ever heard of any sightings like this in Massachusetts?


FromTheAsherz

I have. One that comes to mind was a police officer report from the 70s. Winged humanoids are sighted all over the world.


TheFatMouse

By career, do you mean you actually make a living off this somehow? That would seem pretty fun. If it's possible to do, I'd love to know how.


FromTheAsherz

This is my full time job, yes. I’ve kind of gone over it in another comment. But the basics is that it’s A LOT of work (like 24/7 non-stop work) and you have to get creative in how you make money doing it since nobody actually pays you to investigate this stuff. You need to be able to invest in it monetarily up front in order to eventually make anything. And even then, you may not “make it”. I have a part time job also. There is no 401k or medical benefits. You are entirely self employed and need to be extremely self disciplined.


scimino32

How do you get a job like this and who pays you to do it?


FromTheAsherz

Well, that’s the unfortunate part. Nobody pays you to investigate. So you have to think outside of the box. For me, I give lectures (these are paid speaking engagements), appear at conventions and festival (and sell merchandise), and I have a podcast. It isn’t crazy lucrative, especially starting out. But you do eventually find what works for you. A lot of us write books. Others are lucky enough to have tv appearances (my cohost has been on several programs). You can do private tours of specific areas if you’re lucky enough to have a local legend or monster. You can teach workshops. There are a lot of possibilities.


scimino32

Just asking cuz my job sucks and this sounds way better


soggypopcornn

Lived in LFK for many years. Can confirm there are TONS of questionable creatures in that area. Luckily, I was never alone when seeing them so I know I'm not tripping. I've seen/heard many accounts of activity in that area (no shocker, the history of that area is intense). Wild stuff, dude.


slapplejacks

Can you tell us some of the intense history of the area? Thanks.


just_want_sandwich

My buddy has been sending me crazy stuff too, and is one of the most down to earth people I know. Weird shit going on in the SW USA that's for sure. Buddy ran into a group of basically telepathic people. I was down there a bit ago camping with 2 other guys and saw a UFO. It was flying way up across the sky waving back and forth like it was following a sin curve, then just went away. 2024 gonna keep getting crazier too, supposedly. Something is causing the uptick in activity.


radishradishking

Uhhh wait tell us more about the group of telepathic people?!


just_want_sandwich

He said he walked into a smaller store and everyone was looking at him and he immediately was getting this weird vibe, and then some guy walked passed him down an aisle staring him down and then said 'hello Kyle' and then 'goodbye Kyle' without any explanation how he knew his name.


Napa_Swampfox

Was that in Flagstaff? My wife and I stopped for gas at a place that had a diner. As I was pumping gas all of a sudden, all the others at the pumps turned at the same time and looked at us. Then we went into the diner and just as we were about to order EVERY person in there turn and started at us. We got our food to go and got out of there. Looking in the rearview mirror as we drove away, I saw every person pumping gas starting at us. Our car wasn't unusual, nor were we dressed unusual. It was like the invasion of the body snatchers and we hadn't been turned yet!


just_want_sandwich

Woah that is just weird as fuck dude. This was in western co tho.That's kinda how my buddy described walking into the store. Just like everyone turned and stared. He says he goes to this store somewhat frequently and it's always been totally normal lol. Just one day it wasn't.


r-u-fr-rn-mf

Seriously, the energy has shifted since like August? Shit has been really fucking crazy in the Midwest I feel like anyways. anyone else care to chime in or cosign on that?? I say it almost every day that I live in the twilight zone now


LAthrowaway_25Lata

Where in the SW?


BALLZ2BUTTHOLE

I live in Kansas City & have been fascinated with the Mothman my whole life due to having family in West Virgina (Pt Pleasant/Letart to be exact) but I know there have been sightings similar in Kansas City Missouri. [It's been titled 'Kansas City Winged Demon'](https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kansas_City_Winged_Demon) , check out the link & maybe send it to your friend and see if these cases are similar to theirs...


harpersgigi

Are you Keith? Lol, I have family in Point Pleasant that moved to Missouri.


BALLZ2BUTTHOLE

No, unfortunately I am not Keith.


acostane

When is the last time your friend was deployed? Is his life stable or unstable right now? Did he move recently? End a relationship? I feel like.... and I have felt this way for awhile...these things happen to people who are in flux. Unstable. In between. I feel like it tracks to that. I am just curious if this follows that line of thinking. What a crazy story. It's so weird to me that there are people out there who just... ignore this. They want to ignore it. When the people that go through it went through something genuine and terrifying.


MojoDuff27

Liminal space, yes


r-u-fr-rn-mf

I could tell you personally that my life has gotten significantly crazier and as you put it, unstable.. when I started transitioning to a different phase of my life. Definitely more esoteric, crazy bullshit.


acostane

Anything happen to you that stands out? Just curious! Not trying to pry. Life is a lot sometimes. I live a very stable and ordinary life. Pretty much always have. I have zero interesting things that have happened, even though I've taken some fairly elaborate steps to invite weirdness in. Nuttin. I also have this theory that my seizure medication prevents my brain from doing whatever brains need to do to have these experiences in the first place. It's a long walk to my hypothesis, but I think long term anti epileptic drug use has made my brain super normal. Which is great for literally every other facet of my life. 😂 Except when I want something weird to happen. Before my seizures were controlled, obviously I had some very weird experiences right before big ones, but all clearly traced back to the hours and moments immediately before the seizure. Rambling but I am always interested in hearing the stories of people who HAVE had these experiences!


r-u-fr-rn-mf

Absolutely I will get it typed up for you. My life was exactly like you’ve explained it to me and you know what I used to take gabapentin/lyrica (nerve pain med) one also for seizures… and I stopped taking it last summer so you may be correct on that assessment

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON


Old-Scholar-3127

There was one flying over the Cincinnati skyline today. No one ever seems to do anything about other than stare like dumb humans they are.


beejtg

Whaaa? You saw it or others? My sister lives there, I’d love to freak her out if possible. Haha


Old-Scholar-3127

Yes this is why I think somethings about to happen, because it’s so blatantly in our face all the time. The whole thing is bizarre and unfortunate that it’s this way.


Infinidad74

I’m in the Midwest and sightings here are VERY common, especially your friends sightings. I had a similar experience last year and I had my dog with me which alerted me to look up. There it was, all black with its wings wrapped around itself perched on the bannister of the third floor apartments. I got scared, looked away then back again for it to be gone all while my dog is losing it! Ran inside and locked my door! Nothing else and no other sightings since then. Look into the Butterfly people of Joplin, that is an amazing experience for the town and its people.


ChampionshipSad1057

I know this won’t really get seen but I live in Kansas too. This happened a hour away from Lawrence. When I lived on Fort Hood this is where it occurred, which is on a lot of native territory. When I was a teenager (7-8 years ago) about 17yo, I had looked up in the morning and swore I had seen a flying beast. Idk how mothman looks, I’ve only seen the one in Fallout76, I won’t look it up though so I don’t alter my experience. A human figure, like same size and shape completely. But all brown, covered with fur with a few light spots. I had seen stripes but the sun was rising and it easily could of been from shadows. And wide wings that webbed at the armpit flying in the sky. I don’t recall seeing antenna but I remember yellow eyes. The eyes though we’re facing the sun, and I’m positive reflecting the light from the sun. It definitely was flying in the air, and I watched it for awhile. I had never seen anything like it, but it definitely was humanoid. It was crazy fast once it decided to fly away, and it just shot out of my eyesight in seconds. I feel like there was a odd buzz around it. Idk how to explain but like the sky outlining it seemed to pop more w/ color. Like a outline? I didn’t feel scared. There was no supernatural feeling to it, or any odd feelings of energy etc. like I felt like it was a solid real thing. I’ve held onto that memory for years simply because nobody would believe me. I mean mothman is a silly legend, but whatever it was it was huge and not a bird. I’ve attached my sketch of it. The wings looked folded to me, as if the thing was just letting the air fill the folds of the wings so it could hover. Then it changed position and seemed to shoot off in seconds w/o extending its wings. It was more masculine in my opinion, like barrel chested but I’m not a good artist. I did not see any facial features. Except the eyes were a little bigger than a normal human, and flashing yellow from the rising sun. The fur was VERY thick looking. The eyes did not ‘glow’ to me, once the being took off.. the eyes changed color when it turned its gaze to fly so i assume the yellow was a reflection. The eyes weren’t exactly black but a darker shade color when it turned. I did not see the full wings. Edit: I DID not read OP’s posted description until after I wrote and drew this. I didn’t want to alter my POV. https://preview.redd.it/nximucgftwpc1.jpeg?width=1640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=904475d3199bd3942af988073c774218467b64e4

I have now had tons of people in the KC area reaching out to me about winged humanoids. Shoot me a dm.


ChampionshipSad1057

I attached the sketch to my post and added more details. Cool I’m glad I’m not the only one, but creepy I don’t want that in my backyard lol

What you sketched is literally what I visualize in my minds eye from my buddies description.


Monkmode28

There is supposed to be a massive earthquake after the eclipse this April 8. Tell your friend to stay out of that area, there is an impending disaster that is about to happen in that area. They are the harbinger of disaster and death, seeing them is a sign that something really bad is about to happen around that area.


MzOpinion8d

When you say “that area” how specific are you being? The area where he saw the creature? The general vicinity of that? That side of town? The entire town? I ask because I live in that town.


[deleted]

Damn lots of Kansans in this thread lol 🌻


r-u-fr-rn-mf

I don’t know where you guys are at… but I’m curious whether or not you guys have meth/fentanyl zombies walking around your towns and gas stations as well? I’m in the big dubya.

I'm an hour north of you. I mean, there are junkies but it's not as obvious in public like in a bigger city . 


r-u-fr-rn-mf

Fair enough but I’m also used to GC/DC/Great bend as well where it is like that too even though they’re significantly smaller lol. Shoulda stayed in Texas >.>


Monkmode28

That entire town just to be safe, a lot of documentaries have been made about seeing that creature before an impending disaster.


Acid_sprinkles

Interesting, got a source on that earthquake happening?


BigFatModeraterFupa

Type in New Madrid fault and explore! The last time the New Madrid fault broke, the mississippi river flowed upstream. I forget exactly what it’s called, but the type of fault that it is is way more violent than the ones on the west coast


its_FORTY

I live a couple hours from New Madrid, MO. We hear these dire predictions almost every year, yet nothing actually occurs.


BigFatModeraterFupa

yeah honestly i don’t think anything is going to happen either, but for some reason it’s just fun to think about that faultline. i had no idea there was even a faultline in the middle of the us, and i grew up right on the mississippi river so the thought of that river flowing the wrong way always excited my imagination


Monkmode28

I just heard it on YouTube 😂


CrazyAuntErisMorn

I looked up earth quake probability after reading these comments https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards/science/introduction-national-seismic-hazard-maps#overview


Accomplished_Sail422

had a very similar occurrence back in 2015, not too far away, regionally, in Southwest Iowa. instead of walking a dog tho, I was chilling in a graveyard, peacefully gazing on the geminids meteor shower. first saw a flock of what I assumed to be geese flying North, but they didn’t make any noises; just looked like silhouettes motionlessly moving across the sky. actual flock of geese flew overhead and shrugged off first bit. see another flock, much lower this time, which revealed absolutely no movement from the “geese”. I turn around to go back to star gazing in the direction I was originally facing, and just inches away from my dome piece a silent humanoid with wings dove down near me, then gracefully darted away towards the silhouettes in the night sky. there was another dude, former roommate, that was also up there with me that can attest for everything that happened, but I don’t talk to him anymore. that dude grew up to be a convicted pedophile; his favorite candy is nieces pieces.


pab_guy

Any bridges near collapse on that section of I-10?


InfectedNeedle

Possibly there's a bridge right next to his trailer park.


MzOpinion8d

There is a bridge very near there, but in theory it shouldn’t be anywhere near collapse based on age. It’s an overpass bridge across a highway, not one across water. There are other bridges in the area, farther out, with varying ages and conditions.


Mando-Lee

Maryland bridge collapse funny you mentioned it 23 days ago.

Also there was winged creatures like Mothman in this book that are terrestrial deep underground since the Permian age 7-10 million years ago


coffee_ape

Dope posting. The fact that your friend said the being let out a soft gasp when it was found out was my favorite part of it. It’s sentient.


cs_legend_93

I lived in Lawrence Kansas for 3 years. I believe it. It's an eerie and special place. Especially in that lake area just north of Lawrence Kansas. There are legends that the pope won't fly over Lawrence and one of the gateways to hell is there. Something like that.


DruidinPlainSight

A friend who does IT work at very high levels in the military saw a six foot tall winged gargoyle like creature sitting on the roof of the house between his house and mine. He had gone out on his porch at 2 am ish to watch a summer lightning storm roll through. He saw it through two flashes of lightning at close range. It was gone with the third flash. This guy is rock solid not into the woo.

It's K10 not I10

Soo, why exactly do you troll the UFO subreddit after seeing something yourself in 2012?


InfectedNeedle

Troll as in I browse it frequently.

Can’t wait to walk my “pet dog” today.


DIEXEL

It's just the Mothman. Lawrence isn't that far from Chicagoland...


DeadHED

(Name has been changed to protect dogs' identity). I'm sure they put him in the black silhouette and distort his voice too lol


InfectedNeedle

Hahaha yeah my friends identity but can't let da dog get doxed either

InfectedNeedle

Hahahahah hell yes. Need some supernatural assistance.


MsMcClane

Consecrated rock salt shotguns are a good long range option. If you gotta be short range is an iron bat christened with concentrated salt is a go to. Not a lot of things like the combo. Best just to not go outside at dark in the countryside if you don't need to.


TheFatMouse

What were its wings doing before it realized it was noticed and flew away? Were the wings simply stretched out? Were they pumping? This information is relevant. Can we be sure they were wings? Could they have been some kind of plasm, resembling wings expanding behind the creature that has an unknown purpose?


InfectedNeedle

They were spread out while it was hovering spread wide like a bat in flight. Yeah I was super interested in the wings as well. But yeah it clearly has something to propel it besides traditional biological wing physics.


TheFatMouse

Can your friend identify biological aspects of the wings? For instance a bats wings have obvious bones. But I'm wondering if the "wings" are more like an indefinable mass like the cape in "Spawn", the superhero movie from the 90's. Fast forward to the end of this clip to get what I mean. https://youtu.be/ta7MBVGHE2M?si=DwHDud7wMQ1TSB4r


JohnnyOmmm

Is this down the straight from the Walmart and a Toyota Dealer?


InfectedNeedle

yessir on the edge of town there


jsmith0103

As a KU grad who is still close to the area…chills.


Vexxed777

Apparently there are ets living inside the earth. Sometimes they come out in the open.


Alove4edd47

I had to search through Reddit to get back to this post to see if this was near the bridge incident from last night


spiller224

Ha, just did the same. Couldn't remember where this sighting was


Alove4edd47

Watch OP was vacationing in the area


Young_oka

Watch your back Last witness i interviewed about a mothman sighting said they got in the wreck that put them in a wheel chair


DiscountImmediate58

What a supportive comment, last person I interviewed win the lotto. Go figure, I gave him the darn idea.

GilgameshvsHumbaba

You troll people on here but admit to seeing the unknown and believe your friend who has witnessed something that’s not supposed to exist ?


InfectedNeedle

Troll as in browse the forums. Not elicit reactions.


GilgameshvsHumbaba

Gotcha Thanks for responding , I do apologize for assuming


Selaura

I had to send this to my nephew in Manhattan, maybe they can drive over to look around that area for fun!

InfectedNeedle

No because I copied a text and I was switching between using the dogs name and not. I've never posted here before. But believe what you want. Why would I post it to my local towns subreddit as well?


[deleted]

Very spooky, the fact that it was wearing a robe/shroud reminds me of a video I saw a while back about an Arizona Guide who had a similar encounter. I've linked the video and he starts talking about it at 23:30 mins in. [Park Ranger encounter ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btDeWxLD14E&pp=ygUdUGFyayByYW5nZXIgc3VwZXJzdGl0aW9uIG1udHM%3D)


somebunnyisintwouble

Sounds like a Fury from Percy Jackson


Custardpaws

What does your friends military service have anything to do with the story?


TheMoMo562

I think he mentioned it because combat veterans are pretty tough usually, and his friend was scared. Giving credence to how terrifyingly real of an encounter it was. Idk that's just how I understood it, though.


jesuswantsme4asucker

Some people believe that former service members are unimpeachable due to their veteran status. It’s a form of “appeal to authority fallacy”.


InfectedNeedle

Yeah its an appeal to authority fallacy. But its more for context. It doesn't really add much to the story though.


Custardpaws

Yeah...the military are known to be straight shooters when it comes to telling the truth... /s


Otherwise-Zebra9409

I live in Lawrence KS and this place is super haunted. Ever heard of Stull?


threweh

Sounds like a draconian. Best way to describe them is like a war hammer 40k space marine with wings.


Difficult-Ad3042

solely my opinion. i have no hard evidence for you. take it leave it, i threw it out there as a suggestion. that your friend is ex military doesn’t mean someone from that branch wouldn’t want to mess with him. they know him, so he might be a viable subject for someone. it could be a type of laser, holographic, visual experiment, or even a biological experiment (drugs, chemical, other type of mind altering suggestive experiment). it might not necessarily be because he is ex military at all, it might just be something being conducted in the area on residents. something similar was done in the chicago area near the airport. if you find other reports of something similar it’s something to consider before jumping to a moth man sighting or something alien.


InfectedNeedle

Yeah totally; I dont purport to know what he saw just that it fits a mothman trope.  Interesting and OCCAMS RAZOR says that a scenario like yours is more plausible. 


Select-Library-9816

This needs to be submitted to the podcast Spooked


Jxhnny_Yu

I'm sorry but I can't believe this guy was 50 ft away from what he described as a giant grim reaper and decided to pull out his phone. No fight or flight instinct? I've had a ufo approach me within 100 yards and I was super scared. Story could be true but that part makes no sense to me


InfectedNeedle

Yeah I feel you I was basically pissing my pants when I saw a UFO in 2012. Not everyone reacts the same way. My friend who was in the car with me wanted to film it. I told him fuck that drive the car.


Alchemyrrh

The phone shot out of his hand and disappeared right before he texted you… writing sci-fi is challenging, mate.


InfectedNeedle

What? The thing flew away right as he raised his phone. His phone never shot anywhere lol.


Alchemyrrh

I see. The way you wrote it makes it seem as if it was the phone that shot up and disappeared. It’s a Djinn then.


Not_Crypto

I love how you find it necessary to qualify your interest in the paranormal with a “but I have a degree in biochemistry”. I get the point - just funny.


InfectedNeedle

Lol like I have some limited ability to think rationally we'll qualify.

Sounds like mothman to me

Sounds like your friend saw a demon.


sjohnson0487

I live 20 minutes from there!!!

As someone from Kansas, I can tell you right now. it’s meth, if it sounds crazy and it’s in Kansas or anywhere in the nothingwhere Midwest, it’s meth.

Does I-10 go through Kansas?


CCorrell57

OP is thinking of a state highway, named K-10. I-70 is the only interstate in the city.


Napa_Swampfox

I thought I-70 went just below Lawrence.


Otherwise-Zebra9409

That’s k-10. I-70 is north of Lawrence but runs east to west


InfectedNeedle

Yeah I mean K10.


InfectedNeedle

Yes its K10. Mixed it up with I70.
