UFO, GREY ALIEN, & BIGFOOT Converge at Cabin Near Missoula, Montana
This incident occurred in 1999 in Missoula, Montana. The witness, Sue Van Clef, and her brother, Steve, and some friends, Edmund and Brent, had been invited to spend a week at a posh log cabin in Missoula. Their friend Jason had been getting serious about a girl named Tracy and it was she who invited them all to stay at her cabin, which overlooked the valleys.
On the first night, after dinner, at around 8:30 PM, while sitting outside chatting, drinking coffee, and watching the sun go down, they all noticed a strange object in the sky. Sue states:
“Right there hovering above the meadow at almost the level of the hills, off in the distance, it appeared to be a triangular shape/sphere-shaped like an arrowhead. It had a flashing red light at each point and they flashed at the same time. Slowly the craft started turning until it was pointing right in our direction. We all squealed with nervousness. We all convinced ourselves and each other that it was much too far away and there was no way it could see us.”
“Jason got up and turned the outside lights off. The object turned off its lights. When Jason turned them back on again, it did, as well. They did this a few more times with the craft always copying their actions. Then with no warning, it just shot forward and then came to a dead stop overtop of us and when it stopped that quickly it seemed that the momentum made the front end point downwards right at us.”
Terrified, they all rushed into the house and ran around shutting off the lights, locking the doors, and closing the windows and curtains. They had left the coffee plate outside and after some coaxing, Sue and another girl went out to get it. That is when they noticed the plate and the coffee was gone. The cream, sugar, and coffee tins were now empty. They went back inside. They played Monopoly to take their minds off of it.
One of the friends, Brent, went to the kitchen sink and glanced out an opening in the curtain. He screeched, “Oh my God!” and then jumped back. He insisted that he had seen some kind of creature looking in the window (years later, he admitted that he thought it was a Sasquatch but was hesitant to mention it). The friends looked but saw nothing. Later that evening, Sue joined her friends upstairs where they heard what sounded like footsteps on the roof.
“Clear as day I could hear footsteps… not heavy by any means but clear bipedal steps running back and forth like there were almost six to eight kids running around on the roof.”
Everyone agreed to sleep downstairs.
The next morning, Steve and Edmund headed off to fish at the river. Tracy and Jason went upstairs to nap. Downstairs while sitting on the porch with Sue, Brent noticed something in the tree line, watching them and moving around. Sue could not see it when she looked. Brent retrieved a mirror and then had Sue turn around. He then told her to hold the mirror out and look.
“I saw as clear as day what is commonly called a Gray alien. Its big bulbous head was peeking out from behind a tree and I saw its dark almond-shaped eyes and the tiny nose with two very small holes. I’m not sure if it felt me looking at it but it slowly moved back behind the tree.”
Around that time, Edmund and Steve came rushing back insisting that everyone get back in the house, that they had observed a Bigfoot. They revealed that while going to the river to fish, they were followed by something in the woods that matched their footsteps. Once at the river, they caught a large number of fish. When they thought they might be at their limit, they noticed that the basket of fish was empty. They assumed a grizzly had been there and so they began to walk back to the cabin.
“40 feet into the woods of mainly ponderosa pine, they saw the Bigfoot. It walked step by step with them and then it looked over at them and it realized they were watching it. That’s when it started walking towards them. They started running and they saw that it was walking as quickly as they ran. When they made it through the woods they got to the clearing they ran with everything they had. They said it was dark brown in color and maybe seven feet tall. Its hair was bushy in spots.”
In the years since Sue and the others believed that the triangular object might have dropped off the alien but they weren’t sure about the Bigfoot and assumed it was a coincidence. They returned to the cabin in 2003 when Tracy and Jason got married. They had no further incidents.

Where to stream M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Knock at the Cabin’
What: Knock at the Cabin
Where to watch: Peacock
Premiere date: March 24, 2023
Inspired by Paul Tremblay’s novel The Cabin at the End of the World, M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin reimagines the psychological, post-apocalyptic thriller and lures you into its own twisted Sophie’s Choice. The film was met with mixed reactions, but it’s an exhilarating watch nonetheless. If you’re ready to watch another of Shyamalan’s decisive flicks, here’s everything you need to know.
Where can I watch Knock at the Cabin?
Knock at the Cabin will exclusively stream on Peacock starting March 24.
What is Knock at the Cabin about?
A family of three, Eric (Jonathan Groff), Andrew (Ben Aldridge), and their 7-year-old daughter, Wen (Kristen Cui), are vacationing in a cabin in the woods. Like many films set in the middle of nowhere, the trio’s vacation takes a dark turn when four strangers show up at their door.
Led by a mysterious man called Leonard (Dave Bautista), the frightful foursome informs the family that one of them needs to die to stop an imminent apocalypse. As Eric and Andrew grapple with this forced sacrifice, we’re left questioning whether or not the apocalypse is actually real, who Leonard really is, and who among these people is actually going to have to die.
Knock at the Cabin also stars Rupert Grint, Abby Quinn, and Nikki Amuka-Bird.
What have people said about Knock at the Cabin?
On the film, Mashable’s Kristy Puchko writes, “For maybe two-thirds of this movie, I was deeply invested. I was drawn in by this peculiar conundrum, where a family is caught between an impossible choice and an implacable gang of eschatological fanatics. The question of whether these harbingers are right or delusional not only sucks us into the plot, but also places the audience firmly into the camping boots of Andrew and Eric — bound to our chairs, helpless to do anything but listen and watch as horror unfolds.”
However, Puchko warns, “Those who read Tremblay’s book may think they know what will happen next, but the script by Shyamalan and co-writers Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman radically diverts from the source material around the halfway mark. Without spoiling the film’s twists, I can report that these massive changes not only impact the story’s conclusion but also its very message. And on this journey, your mileage may vary depending on how much of a believer you are.”

SASQUATCH PAIR Follow Four-Wheelers Back to Otsego County, Michigan Cabin (VIDEO)
Eyewitness describes, in a video, the frightening encounter he and his daughters had while riding four-wheelers in the deep woods of Vanderbilt, Michigan back in 2017.
“I’m up north and this is northern Michigan and anybody who knows anything about Michigan, once you get past the center of Michigan, it’s pretty much all wilderness up until you get to Canada.
So my wife’s family, has a cabin probably three hours north of where we live, in a place called Vanderbilt, a very small little village. Their place is way out in the sticks. There’s one street. And the street is maybe a mile long and there are six houses on the whole street. So it’s a small cabin and it sits on maybe close to 70 acres but it’s all wooded – just totally wooded. So the next neighbor is close but then after that, you know, you’re probably about, a half mile before you get to the next person.
So we’re up there on four-wheelers. We go up there, take the four-wheelers, take a bunch of gas, and we ride… like the whole family. So this one time, I don’t know what in the hell possessed me to do this but five o’clock or six o’clock up there is not like it is when you’re in a city because there are no street lights and you’re totally in the forest. So I’ve ridden it. I have been going up there for damn near 15 to 20 years by this time and had not seen anything, had not heard anything. There was no indication that anything sketchy at all would be going on.
So I get my daughters, two of my daughters. So we jump on our wheels and my thing is this is like you take a main road down probably a mile and then you turn and you go on a dirt road and then you take that road around. Then you’re going to the wood and then there are things called two tracks and this. It’s kind of a place where there’s enough area for one vehicle, or one four-wheeler, or whatever, and then that’s where you hit all the trails.
So as we’re on the main road or whatever, it’s still pretty open because it’s a paved road and it’s two lanes, one going each way. It’s pretty wide open and it’s not that dark, you know, but the lights of the four-wheelers are on. So we go we make the left and we get on the dirt road. This is a main kind of what you’d consider a main road there. It’s not technically inside the wood where the two-track is so it’s a place where you could drive a truck or a car whatever.
So we make those first couple of turns going back there before even getting really into the woods. In the two tracks, it’s like it went from five to six o’clock to midnight immediately. I’m like, ‘Oh no, this is a bad idea.’ I started to feel really funny, so I stopped my daughters and I’m like, ‘Nope, turn around!’ I allow both of them to go in front of me and turn around and I turn around last and I tell them, ‘Nope, just keep going right on back to the cabin!’
So we’re on like, we’re not even five to ten minutes from the cabin. So we turn around and we start heading back to the cabin and as we head back and I’m in back there and they’re in front, both of them. I look to my left and here’s what’s really weird and kind of how I don’t know, how your mind works when you see something that you just, you don’t really know what you’re seeing. Your mind can’t process it. I look over and the only thing I can think of is just two people on horses because that’s the only thing that my mind could process, a human figure being that tall. Somebody would have to be sitting on top of a horse.
That was the first thing my mind processed and they’re just standing still, not moving one muscle. Two of them. One is clearly taller than the other by almost a foot. So I’m looking at them. I don’t see the back part of the horses at all but their hair is so long it’s like a horse’s mane but it’s all over and they’re just standing there. I just freaked out because I’m back here in the dark and now my mind is playing tricks on me. So I keep going.
We zoom back to the cabin. It’s probably 10:00 PM. Fifteen relatives were there. They’re all sitting around the fire outside, you know, drinking, whatever, telling stories, having a good time and we got like five dogs with us because it’s three or four families. I think I had two dogs at the time.
So we get back and I’m sitting around, of course, telling the story about how that was the worst idea ever because we turned two corners and we were in complete darkness and how I would never ever do anything that stupid again.
We’re sitting around and my back is to the cabin and I’m facing the woods. All of a sudden, all of the dogs started to go completely bonkers. They’re running around in circles, peeing on themselves, barking. I mean barking, but totally scared. No bark of aggression at all. I mean absolutely totally, they’re all going so crazy that everybody corrals their dogs and they had to put their dogs in the cabin and the dogs are still going crazy. They just will not stop. So I’m like, ‘What the heck is going on?’ And my dog, rest in peace, Nala, she’s right next to me but she’s just going in circles, going in circles, going in circles and I’m like, ‘What’s wrong? Relax. Relax. Relax.’
So I look straight ahead in the woods and what I see, and this is how I processed it, I see glowing yellow eyes, two sets. One was probably 11 feet tall and one was probably 12 feet tall and the only reference I have is I coach basketball. I coached basketball for 20 years so I know what 10 feet tall looks like and I know one was 11 feet and one was 12 feet. So I say to myself this must be two owls in the trees. ‘Wow, owls… their eyes would be like, you know, close together if it’s an owl. These are this far apart (uses fingers to show width) and so I just started to look and I see them blink. I see one of the sets of eyes blink and then it dawns on me what the dogs are afraid of and what they saw and I believe that those same two Sasquatch that I had just seen when we rode around the corner coming back. Those two had covered the distance in roughly minutes to get where they were and they were just outside of our fire and everything else but they were legit right there watching us and that’s why the dogs went absolutely berserk because they also saw the same two Sasquatch that I saw up north in Vanderbilt, Michigan.”

NOTE: Interestingly, just one year before his encounter, a person hiking in the woods near Vanderbilt, Michigan described hearing very strange sounds. Lon

Knock at the Cabin review: Bautista elevates Shyamalan’s familiar apocalypse
Knock At The Cabin Review Roundup — Here’s What The Critics Think Of M. Night Shyamalan’s New Movie
The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan’s newest movie, Knock at the Cabin, releases this Friday in theaters. Ahead of that, reviews for the film have begun to appear online. Similar to many of Shyamalan’s films, review scores for the movie–which he wrote and directed–are all over the place.
Knock at the Cabin is Shyamalan’s first movie since 2021’s Old and his first R-rated movie since The Happening in 2008. Knock at the Cabin stars Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge as a couple who bring their daughter to a cabin in the woods for a vacation. Unfortunately for them, they are taken hostage by a cast of strangers played by Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Abby Quinn.
These four strangers demand that the parents make a choice–to sacrifice one of the three of them–to save the world from the apocalypse. Every time one of them says no, hundreds of thousands of people die. As with Shyamalan’s other films, there will probably be a big twist at the end.
