He was huge and I saw the shoulders, the shoulders and I saw the hair, but it was through the lens. Had I not looked through the lens, it would have looked like a giant rock to me, like a great rock, like a granite, right? And because he moved, I caught the image and I got a little startled. I'm like, let me take it now and I clicked on it. And then I clicked that others, some other spots that look like rocks. And then I took the camera. I went back into the car. I took it no matter less than a minute. I got back in the car and I said it to go home. A police officer stopped me and he says, oh, was there something wrong? I said, no, I stopped to take pictures. I came out to take pictures of the of in the rain because he get better photos. And I showed him my camera. He says, oh, okay. I just want to let you know because I didn't want you to stop there. And it's a busy road and somebody could have hit you. I'm like, okay, I'm fine. I'm going home now. Okay, great. So I get home. I didn't even look at the camera or the chip for two weeks. I just like, it just almost like, nah, I must have been a rock. I must have been imagining it. So about two weeks later, 10 days, I go into, I said, I took those pictures and I put it in my computer and I blow it up and I see a face. So shoulders. And I said, I don't know, maybe it's my eye. Like I said, it's my friend, Debbie. She says this to someone in Washington and they get back to her and like, well, it's authentic. It's not, it's not docked. It's not AI. And she gets back to me. She tells me, you caught the real thing. I said, you know, I said, I said, it wasn't that far. She goes, you know, be careful. They follow you home. I'm like, oh, great. About a couple weeks later, it's spring now, May, and it's raining at night time. But you could hear the sounds of the frogs because the spring time, and they're starting to come out of the ground. And I opened the window because it was a little warm that night. And I hear the frogs. It was two, three, two, 30 in the morning. And I hear a whack, whack, whack, three sounds of wood knocks. And I hear a scream in the distance, almost like they were hunting and they caught something when they found something. And I'm like, what was that? And I'm listening very intently, but very quiet. And it turns out the answer was two more knock wood knocks for right next to my house. And I'm like, oh boy. So I'm like, they're here. Here, what do I do? What do I do? Nothing. I just stayed very still. And it didn't make another sound or anything, but then also enough to that, it was completely quiet. I didn't hear anything. I went outside to look at all my things because I didn't know how they make the wood knocks. There were no dance on the trees. There were no chips of the trees. So I don't know exactly how they did it. I hear from time to time that it's not just wood knocks, it's actually their chest. They make this sound from the chest. I said, okay, that's possible. Maybe I don't know. Another time, I think the three encounters now. Another time I'm sitting down and it's like heading towards summer. And I'm painting glasses. I did glass painting and making jewelry, whatever. A side job that I did creatively. And I'm sitting at the dining room table and I have a sliding glass door. And it actually it was, it was, I'm sorry, it was winter. And I can't recall it was the same year or the next year, but it was winter and it was still melting snow. So I knew that the birds were hungry. So I put out like old Italian bread and I cut it up into blocks and I put it out on a deck. I said, well, maybe something will eat it. Well, sure enough, um, about 15 minutes later, um, a raven lands. And I'm like, wow, a raven, I never seen a raven. I'm thinking of her, she's got movies. And I see this raven and it's, and it's interested in the bread. So I closed the blinds. So I went and frightened it because it was very aware that I was watching it. I closed the blinds. Okay. I go on to my glass painting. About 20 minutes later, I take a peek and all the bread is gone. I said, wow, that was a lot of bread for one bird. But maybe it was hungry. I open back the blinds. I go to turn around and I tell my friend, I text my friend, Debbie. Debbie, there was a, a, a, you know, a raven here, a black raven, beautiful, shiny coat and everything. She says, oh, be careful. Be careful. I said, why? And it, it, it's like, came out of the woods and just stopped there and just looked at us. And my grant, like I said, my grandfather had to step on the brakes. And I saw it plainly like with, with his face, like, like a tannish color, he said, and low brownish dirty hair. You know, like, it was dark, like dark brown, like a musky looking, creepy, you know, I mean. And then when I said I got older, I looked it up and it's like, it, my, of the big foot, that's the only thing I can describe it of. Sure. Sure. How, how close did it get to you when it was looking in the window? Like I said, it, like, you know, the front window, it, maybe about we, like we all said, if we almost hit it, if my papy didn't stop to slam on their brakes, we would have hit it. So maybe a foot in front of us, wow, that close. It was close, man. Goodness. I'm forever. Yeah, I, I can't imagine that. And, and how did you deal with that growing up after that? I had a lot of questions, but my grandfather wouldn't talk about it. I don't know why. I don't, I mean, I don't know if you didn't, like, want to believe it or want to scare me in my cousin, I don't know. But I looked it up afterwards like, you know, what is this? And the best of my knowledge, it's the big flip of what pictures I saw. I mean, there's many different types of big flits. You know, I mean, different sizes, different shape. You know, I mean, sure. And this was like, I would say seven foot tall or eight foot. You know what I mean, it was, it was like he had his car was, it was in his like 60s or 70s. Oh, man, it wasn't, I forget the name. Oh, yeah, it was a plumeth, no, plumeth. Okay. One of them boxy cars, like not too big, but if you know any of the plumeth cars, they're not that, they're up a little. And but it was like, I saw it at an angle and this thing was like giant to me. You mean, it was like tall. I can't know exactly how tall, because I didn't measure it. But it looked like seven to eight foot tall. So you said there was, you actually had another time where you had an experience as well. Oh, yes. Now I'm in my, I see late 20s, maybe 28, late 29, something like that, late 20s. It was me, my cousin, her husband and I, we went to, it's in Pennsylvania. And I don't know if you ever heard the blue I six. No, it was in the area of where the guy that was killed from blue I six, the, the man they killed. We were going to check out his grave site. It was in moonshine church. If you can Google moonshine church. Okay. And this is the area out in any town gap, Pennsylvania. Okay. And this is full like woods on, you know, on the one side. There's a church, the moonshine church. We part, it was late, you know, it was dark. And we went to go to the cemetery to check it. I know you can't, you shouldn't do that, but we did it. But it was late and we took flashlights to go check out his grave site. You know, in the paranormal, into the paranormal stuff, you know, I mean, we were doing that. And so we, we parked at the church, we walked over to the grave. And we found his grave site and everything, took pictures, whatever. And then we start walking up the, the way of the, of the tree line. Okay. And I had my camera with me, a camera. This was, this is back in the early 2000s. The early 2000s. And I had my camera. And we were walking and I just, just took pictures in the woods. Like, I don't know why, because I'm paranormal site, you know what I mean? See if I could see something or whatever. All of a sudden, I took a flash. I mean, the, the second shot I took a picture, I, I heard this. Oh, like that. Okay. And it's like, oh, my cousin, that, let's get out of here. What is that? And we start running back to the, his, her vehicle. And we, we, we left. When I developed the pictures, listen to this. When I developed the picture, I probably took two pictures. It was not the first one, but the second one I took. That's why I heard the, you know, I developed, I got them developed. And I saw red, two red eyes, little red looking in the camera. It was dark.
