An unknown four-legged human-like creature is observed by a guest at a Big Bear, California hotel. There was also weird activity occurring at the same time. Very interesting incident.
“The night of February 27, 2017, in the early AM, I was staying at the Best Western in Big Bear. At approximately 12:35 am I walked to my car alone to retrieve my luggage. It had been snowing and was extremely dark, my car was facing a country road. When I hit the unlock button on my car, the parking, and interior lights came on. This allowed me to see two eyes reflecting in the middle of the road, about 10-15 feet from me. At first, I thought it was a deer, I have lived in Colorado and I’m accustomed to seeing wildlife.
I instantly stopped and remained still as I didn’t want to scare off what I thought was a deer. As my eyes glanced downwards, I noticed it wasn’t a deer, it looked like a white, hairless naked man on all fours. It was at least four feet in height, on all fours. Probably be around 15 feet if it stood up. There was a brief moment as our eyes made contact. It then, as quickly as I have ever seen any animal, turned around, ran as fast as a cheetah away from me, and then, straight up a tree. I was frozen in disbelief. I said out loud to myself, “you have to be flipping kidding me”. Just as I was going to convince myself that this couldn’t possibly be happening, it leaped from tree top to tree top and I could see its full outline as it did so.
I’ve never heard of such a creature but, I have found some other videos and pictures online that look exactly like what I saw.
The speed and strength it had is like nothing I’d ever heard of before. The creature was definitely solid, it appeared as if it was coming toward me, possibly hunting me? I don’t know what stopped it. Was it the lights that went on? It had no visible genitalia. It had very human-like qualities.
First, it was a new moon and I believe it was an eclipse that day as well. There was a creek across the street. I don’t know if this has anything to do with my experience but, I was also a day from menstruating.
If this had been a huge-eyed Grey alien, it would have made more sense. I’ve heard of those but, this was unlike anything I’ve ever been familiar with.
None of this makes sense to me, the speed, and agility of the creature and there shouldn’t be any way that the treetops should have been able to hold the weight of the creature. It appeared to be flashing like a TV going in and out of reception as it sprinted up the tree. It also didn’t appear to disrupt the foliage as it did so.
I immediately called my father after I rushed back into my hotel room. My son was asleep and I was understandably in a state of shock. At this time, no one knew what hotel I was staying in. As I was crying on the phone with my father, the hotel phone rang. I answered it and it was only a dial tone. Then, there was a knock at the hotel room door. Once again, no one was there.
At this point, my son woke up due to the commotion. I told him it was a scary dream. I gave my father the hotel information and he advised me to go wait in the lobby with my son. As we were leaving, there was another knock but, it was at the back sliding glass door that went out to a private fenced-in patio.
This was a one-time encounter and it’s unfortunate that I still live in fear of this experience. I was raised Christian, and this humanoid doesn’t fit into any category with which I am familiar. I don’t know why this happened and what I’m supposed to learn from it. In addition, the hotel phone number, I found out later, has six 6’s in a row. I don’t know if that has anything to do with what happened. I was always taught that demons can’t have a physical body unless it’s possessing someone. I can’t imagine it flying a spacecraft due to its primal manner. is it a trans-dimensional being? Nephilim? What was it going to do? Is it going to come after me again? Why didn’t it do what it was set out to do?
My previous beliefs about the world and the way things work has been tossed upside down. While it’s thought-provoking, it’s been very traumatic and has me in a panicked state that’s distracting and mostly negative.”
NOTE: For the past several years, I have been investigating sightings of a humanoid in and around the Big Bear Lake area, then southeast into Big Morongo Canyon and along Rt.62 into Yucca Valley & Joshua Tree. There have been reports of people going missing in the area for several years, and a few body parts have been recovered. There have also been sightings of a winged humanoid in Yucca Valley. Lon

A BRIT student died while on holiday when he hit his head falling into a hotel swimming pool, an inquest has heard.
Student Charlie Hopkins, 23, from Buckley, north Wales, tragically died while visiting a friend in Tulum, Mexico on April 8, 2021.

The inquest heard it was a mystery how he fell into the water because no-one else was in the pool when the 1am tragedy took place.
CCTV footage showed Charlie walking on a balcony through the hotel’s reception area in his underpants on April 9, 2021.
The hearing was told no-one else was in the pool in Tulum, Mexico, but “very soon afterwards” a camera captured the water in the pool being disturbed.
Another guest discovered his body on the bottom of the pool about five hours later.
Charlie, of Buckley, North Wales, had studied history at University College, London.
In a statement read at the inquest his father Mark described him as “bubbly” and “the light and soul of every room he was in”.
He was a keen musician and strong campaigner for LGBT rights.
He said that Charlie had good friends in London where he lived – but was glad to jet off on holiday when the lockdown restrictions during the Covid pandemic were eased.
He checked into the two-storey Hotel Turquoise Petit in Tulum on April 8, 2021.
He was invited there by his pal Alex who lived in Mexico.
The inquest in Ruthin heard he had a video call to his parents almost every day while he was there.
“We became concerned when we didn’t hear from him for 24 hours,” said Mr Hopkins.
On April 9 they received the “devastating” call that he had been found dead.
His father said: “He was a lively, loving, trusting young man. He saw only the good in everyone.
“Charlie would always finish talking to someone and say ‘I love that person’ – that’s just the sort of person he was.”
Mr Hopkins’ family said his death has left them “broken” and that their lives have been “turned upside down.”
A post-mortem examination was carried out in Mexico. His body was later repatriated.
Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers confirmed the cause of death as “a blunt force head injury and drowning, consistent with a fall from height”.
John Gittins, senior coroner for North Wales East and Central, said initally there were some initial concerns that he had been assaulted.
But the coroner said he had probably hit his head somehow while entering the pool, adding: “There is absolutely no reason to give consideration to it being a deliberate act.”
He recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
KIM Kardashian has shared a video of her son Saint running wild in a London hotel after a boozy St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
The reality star and her son jetted to London with friends, where they attended an Arsenal game.

The post came after a boozy outing with friends on St. Patrick’s Day[/caption]
Kim, 42, reposted a social media video from a friend – presumably on the trip with her – that showed Saint and several other kids running and screaming in a hotel hallway.
Children jumped about, hugging and flopping onto the floor.
Someone in the clip appeared to be screaming: “We won!”
The caption on the clip read: “We play soccer in hallways now… with feathered hats!”
Kim then added her own caption, writing: “Not trying to brag but with a Guinness and the feathered hat Allison & I bought in London when we were 16, my soccer skills kicked in and I WON THE GAME FOR THEM!!! NO BIG DEAL.”
A short time before she shared the video, she posted photos of herself and her gal pals “pub hopping.”
The Hulu star posted pics of Guinness pints sitting on a bar top.
She wrote: “Pub hopping on this St. Paddy’s day.”
Kim then shared photos of several shots on a tray, writing: “Baby Guinness.”
The SKKN mogul has repeatedly stated that she’s not a big drinker, though her Instagram Story would suggest she was partying today.
Kim was spotted taking in an Arsenal game during her European jaunt.
She looked on as the club was knocked out of the Europa League after losing to Sporting CP.
The Skims mogul shared several snaps from the game, documenting her son Saint’s reaction to the less-than-favorable result.
The tot was recorded chanting Bukayo Saka’s name as he stepped up to take a penalty kick.
Eagle-eyed fans picked up on this and rushed to social media to joke about Kim sliding into Saka’s private messages.
One user said: “Arsenal let Bukayo Saka down. He was a win away from Kim Kardashian sliding into his DM’s.”
Others joked about the 21-year-old’s “star power”, while also adding that Kim’s recognition was the one win from the night.
One user said: “Key takeaway from this game is Kim K recognizes Saka, our starboy is clear!!!”
A second commented: “Kim K snapping Saka penalty and they were saying he isn’t franchise.”
“Kim K is a Saka fan I’m leaving with something,” remarked a third.
Bukayo is currently in a relationship with Tolami Benson and has been for quite a while.
While the team didn’t win, Kim’s son Saint still managed to come out on top.
The reality star uploaded footage of the footballer scoring a spot-kick in a shootout.
It was later revealed that he FaceTimed Kim and her group, chatting with her son as he rocked an Arsenal shirt.
Bukayo revealed to Saint that while he hadn’t seen them at the game, he had a shirt for them.
He was heard saying: “Sorry I missed you guys yesterday.
“They said that you was in the players lounge. I had one shirt for you.”
The sporting star added: “Tell them to let me know when they’re coming back and I’ll sort them some T-shirts.”
Kim captioned her video of the call: “And more surprises… the boys fave player for @arsenal @bukayosaka87.”
Bukayo also uploaded a snap from the sweet moment.
Kim reposted the upload to her story, writing: “Thank you for making our boys’ day.”

A BRIT businessman has been charged with raping a British Airways flight attendant at a five-star hotel in Barbados.
Daniel Johnson, 41, is accused of attacking the woman during a stopover between flights on the Caribbean island.
Daniel Johnson, 41, has been charged with raping the BA stewardess at a hotel[/caption]
He appeared before magistrates in the capital of Bridgetown to be formally charged with the offence, the Daily Mail reports.
Johnson was granted bail of £4,000 but ordered to hand over his passport so he could not leave the island as investigations continue.
Magistrate Ian Weekes also ordered him to report to a police station twice a week as part of the bail conditions.
The businessman, who has lived in Barbados for the past seven years, allegedly raped a BA stewardess in her 20s at her £300-a-night hotel.
Police said the Johnson, a partner in a firm selling electric vehicles called Endless Electrics, was known to the woman.
She claims she was attacked after inviting Johnson back with her after they had been out for a meal along with other BA crew.
Cops were initially unable to locate the ex-pat but later arrested him.
Officers had to postpone quizzing Johnson after it was discovered that he had Covid.
The alleged victim remained on the island while police launched an investigation.
An airline source said it was “an unimaginable time” for the stewardess and the rest of the crew.
“What was one of the most magical parts of working for BA – heading out on the town in Barbados and staying at a lavish hotel – turned into a nightmare.
“The stewardess was brave enough to go to the police and report the attack.
“And her colleagues did not hesitate to provide supporting statements as part of the ongoing investigation.”
A British Airways flight from Barbados to London was axed earlier this week while four of the woman’s colleagues gave statements to cops.
Over 150 passengers were put up in a hotel overnight, unaware of the allegations which prompted the last-minute cancellation.
Insiders claimed BA bosses “did not hesitate” to call off the flight back as staff are “always the priority in these situations”.
They added: “The airline has experienced support now on the ground in Barbados and everything will be done to look after the woman and her colleagues.
“Everyone is rooting for the stewardess and supporting the Barbados police in every way possible.”
The airline sent out its own investigator to offer help and support to the crew member.
Barbados Police spokesman Inspector Rodney Innis said: “Employees from the British Airways have given statements on the matter.”
Johnson was not asked to enter a plea and will appear back in court next month. He was represented by a local lawyer Lalu Hanuman.
