Frightening ‘GLIMMER MAN’ ENCOUNTER Recalled By Colorado Park Security Guard
A security guard at a Colorado tourist location recalls his experience with a ‘glimmer man’ entity while on late-night guard duty. Later, a former coworker describes his personal encounter.
I recently received the following account:
“Back in 2012, I was working for a small security company. We were contracted to work at a tourist location called Broadmoor Seven Falls near Colorado Springs in the Cheyenne Mountain Canyon area. I remember shifts being grueling, due to the fact that we were in direct sunlight until the afternoon and evening, and on an average shift, we were expected to walk a minimum of 7-8 miles between the base of the parking area to the top, the falls. Rarely were we allowed using the guest elevator for the handicapped and elderly. The whole park was on a hilly incline, so walking the top down was okay, but bottom-up was exhausting.
In the evening near the base of the falls, native Ute or Cheyenne tribal dancers would perform and we had to monitor crowds. These Falls were frequented by area tribes for hundreds of years and were still considered spiritual. So it was the native tribes that pushed for the performances.
Since Seven Falls is considered a state park at the end of the night we would sit at the main entrance into the falls at the bottom of the canyon and monitor the toll booth. During weekends and holidays, we were out there until 3 AM. On several occasions when waiting for the end of my shifts I always had occurrences that made me feel like I was going to get attacked by either an animal or a person. We would hear hissing sounds and groans. Sometimes there were glowing eyes, either red or white in color, but larger than area wildlife. These could be seen from behind the bushes and tree canopies. But what stuck with me were the shimmering humanoid shapes. The shimmering was otherworldly. The way I always described it to my family and a few friends was like that of the ‘Predator’ film alien when it cloaked.
My first work firearm was an older Smith and Wesson semi-automatic single-stack pistol that was my dad’s when he worked for the local police department. But I still felt I was defenseless. I watched this shimmering silhouette crawl on the asphalt over to the toll booth. After then it appeared to stand upright and extend a long waving arm. This looked like an entity between the physical and incorporeal realms. As I shifted my weight to get a closer look I was struck by the glowing reddish eyes. I then watched as the entity jumped to a tree no less than 20 feet away. From here the entity jumped again. This time a broken branch fell from the tree creating a loud crashing sound. The entity looked back one last time before going over the gate and disappearing into the park.
In May of 2022, an old coworker and I ran into each other while at Walmart. we decided to go to the nearby diner next door and talk about the good old days. During the conversation, he asks if I ever saw the ‘Predator’ and its camouflage at Seven Falls? My blood ran cold. He then proceeded to tell me about his experience on his shifts that I’d never heard. After leaving the diner and arriving home I sat in the driveway for a moment contemplating what inhabits park.” PP

Family’s Frightening GREY ALIEN CLOSE ENCOUNTER at Home
A young mother, alone with her two small children, experiences a frightening encounter with a Grey alien while in her bedroom one early morning. Now she fears it will happen again.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“During the summer of 1994, my husband and I purchased a newly-built home in a Sacramento Valley, California subdivision. We moved in with our four-year-old son and our soon-to-arrive baby daughter. The house was located at the end of the street with a lot of undeveloped land behind us.
Our son adjusted quickly, and he made many new friends. The neighborhood kids played on the street since there was no traffic during the day while most people were at work. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to find a job in Sacramento right away. He would stay with his mom back in the Bay Area during the work week and then he would drive back to the valley to check in on us. That’s when we would do our grocery shopping and other errands at that time. We only had one car and I was left stranded until he was back for the weekend.
On a particular Monday, after he left early for his commute to work, I felt uneasy and scared, but I didn’t know why. I decided to go back to our bedroom and lay down. I soon fell asleep, but I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamt that our son was missing and that we were running to different streets looking for him and calling out his name. I woke up suddenly and was relieved that it was just a horrible dream and my boy was fast asleep next to me. The baby was still in her bassinet next to the bed.
I turned over on my side facing the bassinet and noticed a bright light coming in between the window blinds. I thought out loud, “Is it morning already?” The light was coming in between the blinds and it was so bright, but the rest of the room was dark. There was also a bright light on the wall next to the window and I looked up to see where the light was coming from. To my horror, just above the bassinet, was an alien Grey’s face. It was just the head, no upper body, legs, or arms. The head was dark in color, very round, ending in a pointed chin and there was a small slit for a mouth. The nostrils were small, but the eyes were large and almond-shaped and very shiny black. It had some sort of glass lamp on the top of its head. The light on the wall was projected from the lamp.
Then I noticed that the being was looking down at my baby daughter. Oh my God! I couldn’t speak! My heart started pounding so hard that I started trembling uncontrollably. It saw me and realized I was looking at it. The being moved toward me and I started screaming and swinging my arms. I remember that I screamed out loud for it to leave! It floated from its original position above the bassinet to just above my face. I remember seeing this light blue fog build up in front of my face and then, in a dream-like manner, I heard a cooing sound, similar to Mourning Doves. I had the feeling that whoever was talking to me was stern and was telling me that it was for our own good.
Then I woke up. It was still dark out but it was around 6 AM and the blankets were perfectly made around the bed like nothing had happened. Everything was still. My son was asleep next to me and the baby was in her bassinet. I got out of bed and turned all the lights on in the bedroom. Then I walked through the house and turned on every light I could in order to check each room and closet. I checked the locks on all the doors, the lock on the backyard sliding glass door, and all of the windows were latched. Nothing had been tampered with.
I decided to go to the bathroom and shower. When I was washing my hair I felt a sore spot on the top of my head. There was no blood or swelling bump, but it was very sore. I got dressed and walked to the kitchen. I made some coffee, then sat at the counter while trying to make sense of all those events I perceived. I thought about the nightmare that I had woken up from and how relieved I had felt that it had just been a bad dream. But then that being was there and I couldn’t decide if it had been another bad dream or if that second part was actually real. It didn’t make sense.
My son was up at 9 00 AM and I kept checking in on the baby. She continued sleeping, which I thought was strange. She should have been up to nurse hours earlier. I called my sister and told her about my dream. I started crying because it seemed like it had been real. But I kept thinking that it couldn’t be real.
I checked on the baby. She seemed fine. There was no fever or anything other problem. She did not wake up to nurse until 2 PM that afternoon. By then I was sore and engorged with milk. As the day progressed I became anxious and before it was evening I again called my sister asking if she could come over and pick us up. I didn’t want to be there alone with the kids at night. She drove over and took us to her apartment. My sister wasn’t sure what to make of this whole situation.
I called my husband and told him about my bad dream but he thought it was just stress from being left alone so many nights and taking care of the kids. He picked us up from my sister’s place and drove us back to our house that evening. I tried to go about my normal routine of making dinner, bathing the kids before bed, and watching a movie. It was soon time for me and my husband to go to bed, so I put both kids in the bed between us. I was terrified that it would come back, that I would wake up and that face would be there looking back at me.
My husband continued to commute for another six months, so I was still alone in the evening. That was the worst part for weeks. Every night I would stay up just until I could see daylight before I felt safe enough to fall asleep. I would leave the TV and the bedroom lights on and fight sleep until I would see the early sunlight peek through the windows.
I went on like this for three years. My husband would just tell me that it had been a bad dream. But after a few months, he didn’t like for me to talk about it. My daughter was only three months old when this happened she doesn’t have any strange scars or ill effects from the experience. But, I know that it was not a dream in regard to the encounter with the alien being.
I just pray that it never happens again. But, for some unexplained reason, I believe that it will. I feel that my children and I are destined to have more encounters during our lives. The fear of the unknown is more frightening than the actual experience.” M

Frightening SASQUATCH & SKUNK APE Vocalizations Recorded on Video
The following video offers 2 sets of vocals from different locations. Are these Sasquatch calls or vocalizations? I can only imagine how frightened the eyewitnesses were.
The 1st set of captured audio is from Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southern Washington. The campers were so alarmed that they immediately high-tailed it out of the area, returning the next day in order to gather their gear.
The 2nd set of vocals is from a boatman who is traveling through an unknown location within the Everglades National Park.
These recordings are similar to other supposed Sasquatch and Skunk Ape vocalizations that we have heard and gathered over several decades. What are your thoughts? Lon

Frightening Tall, Dark Entity Appears to Past Paranormal Experiencer (SKETCH)
A young adult was at their cousin’s house playing video games. When they later went out onto the porch, they notice an 8-9 foot tall entity watching them through the dark. Was it following the witness?
The following account was forwarded to me:
“So all throughout my life, I’ve had weird encounters with the unknown. But this instance was one of the scariest encounters of all.
Visiting my cousin for a night of video games and yu-gi-oh, it was near 10 PM and I decided to smoke a cigarette. He joined me outside his back porch area to chat when while he was talking to me I felt compelled to look to the left and that’s when I “felt” something was moving over the ledge.
It had a weird aura and presence about it. But it was like it was ignoring me or did not notice me because it continued to move along the top of the ledge in a direction where eventually it would reach the opposite stairs and the path to the neighbor’s place. But that’s when it stopped. It just stopped and turned itself directly facing me. I could immediately tell it was looking at me and I looked back.
Being able to get a clear view, it was a dark figure. But it had to be at least 8-9 feet tall. I don’t know how long it was there but suddenly my cousin said shakily, “Hey, my God. What is that? We need to get out of here!” He quickly opened the door to the house. My cousin is a big dude and is hardly ever frightened. I kept looking at it; backing up until I finally shut the door.
My cousin and I were in complete shock. He went to grab his firearms, but we waited and turned the lights off, eventually going to bed with no other problems.” RF
The witness added:
“I felt kind of bad that maybe I had somehow brought that thing to his house. When I was younger I was hit by a drunk driver and clinically died for almost 7 minutes, according to the doctors. I feel like that’s another reason these things appear in my life.
Whenever I have these types of unexplained encounters the ‘air’ changes, like time is slowing down. Almost like moving in some different dimension/realm. It was definitely some kind of entity. It’s the first time I’ve had one notice me though.
I drew this sketch because it was just such a surreal moment (below).” RF
