Sometimes it's difficult to believe your own eyes. When people encounter a thing they cannot explain - something completely alien to their experience - they tend to doubt their own senses at first. When Paula M. went to the dump site in search of old, collectible bottles, the last thing she expected was an encounter with an unknown animal. She has never been able to discover what it was -- and neither has anyone else. Read Paula's story.

The Creature of the Dump

Adirondack Mystery Creature video
A couple of guys were near Old Forge in New York's Adirondack Park (not too far from where I live) when they videotaped a mysterious creature. One guy thinks it's just a black bear, but another thinks it's something else -- possibly a Bigfoot. Although Bigfoot have been reported in the park (rarely), this doesn't look like a Bigfoot. But it doesn't really look like a bear either. At first it looks like it's walking on two legs, but then it more resembles a mountain gorilla. But these observations are made about a video that is quite jumpy, and we can't get a very good look at the thing. (If anyone out there is good at image stabilization, we could use your help on this one.) I can't tell what it is. Can you? Go watch the video.

Strange Sump Pump Creature
In the spring of 1983, we lived in a small town just north of Toronto named Bolton. It was the rainy time of year, April I think, and due to the rain I decided to check the sump pump in the basement. We'd had a flood the year before when the switch had stuck in the off position.
When I opened the small door where it was located, I was startled to see a small creature staring back at me. I believe it had been drinking water when I surprised him. It was about 3-4" in size and brownish in color. It had long spindly limbs and body and a small head with two largish eyes.
It stared at me as I stared back at it. It cocked its head to one side as though trying to size me up, if you will. It had an absolutely intelligent look about it as though thinking, Uh-oh. You caught me.
It then literally folded its limbs in tight to its body and slipped gracefully into a small crack in the wall where the discharge hose ran through. I couldn't understand what it was or even how it could have fit in that small space and disappeared.
I wonder to this day what it was as I've never seen anything quite like it before or since. The closest thing I could describe it to would be a mantis. Now I've come across mantises from time to time since then, and when I do I will study them closely. However, I don't believe this was a mantis, and I wonder if anyone has ever seen a similar creature.

The Curious Creature
The most terrifying event to happen in my life yet happened just five years ago sometime in June in 2005 when I was 13. I guess it was one of everyone's worst nightmares: Someone or something living with you unnoticed in your own home.
The place I lived in in suburban Maryland was a condo, and if you turned a corner in the living room you would see a small hallway. At the end of it was my bedroom door, and to the side my bathroom. One late evening right before summer break I was watching a movie in the living room with my parents. I recall that I needed to get something from my bathroom, so I left for a second. The only light on in my house was the one in my room, on my desk.
As I passed by my room, I realized the door was open and the light was on, but what really intrigued me was that I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I approached the door to get a closer look, thinking it was some animal in my room. It was a million times worse! Sitting on my desk, going through my camera case, was this creature. It didn't seem to be looking for anything, but it was pulling things out forcefully, throwing them on the floor. The thing was about the size of a two year old, hunched over, hairless, bald and wrinkled. Its skin was pitch black, like it was burned, and was very thin. I could see how bony it was. It appeared to be shaped like a person and looked like a small human mummy until it turned around.
I gasped and turned to the bathroom, but peered back in to get a brief look because I was feeling bold. It had turned its head to face me, and I could make out long, tear-drop shaped eyes like the ones little green Martians have in cartoons, pitch black. I chickened out and fled into the bathroom, trying to act natural, like I hadn't seen it so it wouldn't come and try to get a closer look at me. I flipped the light switch on in the bathroom and locked the door.
I remember sitting on the floor on the other side of the room, feeling stranded. I did not want to go past my room again. I resorted to calling my mom over. I told my mom that she would promise to do what I asked, no matter how weird it was. I asked her to go into my room, look around, put my camera case on my bed, and report to me. She was gone for five whole minutes. Then she slowly walked to the bathroom. "Have you been keeping birds in your room?" she asked.
I said no. "Well, for a week or so, there's been a weird smell in your room. I didn't say anything about it, though." The past week I had been on a trip to Chicago with some friends. My Mom continued. "Well, when I walked in, your camera case was on the ground and I saw something moving the curtains, something big. But I didn't see it well. It's gone now. It flew out the window. It was probably a bird that got in."
I thanked my mom and went to bed early. I knew it couldn't have been a bird because birds can't open zippers like the one I found open on the camera case. I've never seen it again, but I remember that one night two weeks later I heard some strange noises and felt something moving on my legs while I was going to sleep, and the window was open when I got up. Another day I heard a loud thump coming from my room when I was watching TV and when I came in a book from my bookshelf lay in the middle of the room. I also found an assortment of string and bouncy balls and doodads in a corner of the laundry room, and no one in my family had done it. I still wonder what I saw, and whether anyone else has had an encounter with it. None of my friends have, and I would really like anyone who has seen it to know this - you're not alone!

The Paranormal Creature
June 21, 2005, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I have insomnia. I was in my bed tossing and turning as usual, wide awake. I had just looked at the clock and it was 3:00 a.m.
Suddenly I heard from the corner of my bedroom an evil, gutterral, laughter, loud and clear. I live alone and was scared out of my mind. I was so scared I froze in my spot and couldn't move, no matter how I tried; I was frozen in my spot on the bed.
I heard it brush against my bed and then felt a sharp jab in my ribs, really hard. I couldn't think of anything to do but to pray to Jesus. Still frozen, from under my pillow I heard a different voice, a kind voice that said, "Relax, don't be afraid. Go to the extraterrestrials."
Then I heard muffled voices under my pillow talking, but couldn't make them out. Next thing I heard from under my pillow was that same voice saying, "Go to God, keep relaxing..." then loudly "...SAY IT, GO TO GOD."
I became free to be able to move and I hit the floor running, turning on all the lights and TV and sat there with the Bible. I gingerly walked up the hall to my room and said, "Go to God." I managed to make it through the night by calling a friend.
It never came back and it's 6 years later. I still live here, but I still sleep with the light on to this day. I wrote it down the next day so as not to forget exactly what happened that night. I still get paranormal things happening here, but they are friendly and don't scare me.
