I guess it's time
to go back in time
Are you telling me
you built a time machine
Kind of a Dolion
Time is but a stubborn illusion
I have a lot of memories
Of the past
People are time traveling
Within themselves
Time travel
Is possible
This was all circulating around the base
that a giant had been killed, but no one was supposed to talk about it.
I saw three long, bony fingers, reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear.
When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me.
And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.
And he starts running and firing up this giant.
He's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast.
It's him up like this.
Somebody else. Shoot them in the face. Shoot them in the face. They basically decapitated.
Something pulled over and there are two small.
It's pushed and I touch it because I know I'm seeing.
Hey, I'll reload it.
Yep.

Now, thank you everybody who texts my brother Jack last week, happy birthday, who tried calling him.
It really was a great celebration because he said that he got over 900 text messages.
messages last week from people who I gave his cell phone number out to on the show. So thank you very much
for following through and texting Jack and making his life a little bit more difficult compared to
what it would have been if he would have just listened to my show. So thank you very much. Now this
week we have John coming on and John has had paranormal experiences, weird experiences, but he's also
seen an alien entity in his backyard as a kid that was actually lit up by a green light. And then
later on in life, he actually had his suspicions and his vision confirmed through somebody else
who saw the same exact thing in that neighborhood. So let's get to John right now.
Okay, today I have John on the show. John, how you doing, man?
Been pretty good, Tony. How you do? I'm doing all right. We were trying to work out some
technical difficulties here, but we finally got to show up and running. And I'm glad we did
because you have some interesting stuff to talk about today. You have alien encounters and some
ghostly encounters and even, you know, an interesting story from when you were a photo technician.
So why don't you, like we said earlier, start out chronological order. So that would start off
this alien encounter. So what happened there, man? Let's just take it back about
1975. It was probably in the late summer or fall, 1975. And the reason I know that is because
I remember the nights being, you know, pretty cool. That was.
side and I'll tell you what.
Another
a little furrow down on the story, I'll tell you.
Why I knew it was that time of year.
But basically
it'd give you a little idea
of the geography
of the area I lived in.
It's a little place
called Springboro Hall. It's
between Dayton and Cincinnati.
And it's probably
about Ments or less from Wright-Parrison
Air Force Base. It was really
and a street down there
was called the Toppa Drive, and it was
a little three-bedroom
brick ranch house.
One of the, from living there when I was
a kid is that, you know,
we did, the road was on a hill,
so each neighbor's
house, you know,
kind of stair-step down
the road as you went down the hill.
And in our yard
had a
concrete retaining wall.
they kept up our yard from collapsing into the neighbors
and on top that concrete wall was a chain-link fence
and it was like a red girl
I think it was a four or six-foot fence
I don't remember specifically
because the fence is no longer there anymore
but my bedroom was towards the back of the house
and when I laid my bed, I could actually see out my
bedroom window that was faced the backyard
a half acre of land or so
and I
was laying up bed one night
and I heard the neighbor's dogs barking
and they knocked over the trash cans
and making all kinds of commotion
and
I got up from my bed
and
walked over towards a window to look out
and when I looked out the window, I saw this greenish-colored light coming from the sky.
And it was real bright.
I ground in my backyard was this alien being walking in the light, and the light was falling.
I couldn't see no spacecraft or anything like that.
all I could see was this is being walking in my backyard,
this green light shining on it.
And it was, I remember slime when you were a kid,
that colored green.
Yeah.
I remember specifically at beating that color.
And I can't tell you, I can't make out a lot of details
because I didn't stay at the window very long.
No.
In my parents' bed, screamed and holler.
and there was something
walking around
into the backyard.
And, you know,
of course,
when you're a kid,
your parent always
I thought you had the bad dreams
and stuff like that,
but definitely wasn't no dream.
I remember, you know,
as clear today as well.
And my mom also recalls
me having that incident
when I was young.
I can't tell you any other details
other than that,
but during that time,
At the same period of time, I developed sleep walking issue, walking.
I don't know if this was shortly before.
I saw the dating being in my yard after, but I actually woke up walking out my front door one morning.
And I don't do that anymore, but during that period of time also, I, um, I, uh,
developed a fear of humming noises.
And up to about the age of 10.
So if I heard on the TV,
it was humming or static coming in,
you know, back in,
we didn't have cables,
so, you know,
you had to tune your rabbit ears or whatever.
If it goes static or something,
it was, you know,
I'd start harm to turn it off.
And that was a fear I had all the way up to about 10 years old.
I don't know where that came from,
but it all seemed for me.
from that
experience
I had
and lastly
I were at that house
we did there a couple years
I woke up one morning
with a collapsed trachea
and I couldn't breathe
and my parents
took him to a hospital
five days
about a week almost
in an oxygen tip
and they went sure
what caused it
I had no injury
I looked up in the middle night
for no parent reason and couldn't breathe.
They don't know what happened to my throat,
but in about 1989, 75 and 1989, I had lived out away from the Springboro area.
I'd moved back in my senior year.
My father had lived there for a long time.
I moved there with my father to finish out my last year of high school.
I'd met this girl there that we started dating,
and become my first wife
and we had three kids together.
In 1989, though, while I was still a senior,
I was over to her house one day.
I was talking to her brother.
She had an older brother.
He was probably five years older than me.
And he was up in Alaska,
military base up there.
He was telling me about some of his experiences he had
with different lights and stuff like that in the sky.
I started telling about my story about
in Springboro about seeing that alien in my backyard.
I told him everything I just told you.
His hair was standing up on his arm.
He got a little white, and I was like, man, what is wrong?
It's not that scary of the story.
He said, I have my best friend.
He said, look over that way.
and he told me the same story
and so I actually ended up introducing me to his friend
like I never knew who his friend was
I didn't even know him
one day I went to work when he worked with his best friend
and he introduced me
and his friend had seen the same thing
I had been back in 1975
so
13 years later
14 years later so
here I'm finding
somebody else that's in the same thing that
which is interesting
it made some validation
the same girl before we got married
and I started college
taking college courses
and I worked in a
photo lab part time
and that had been about
1990 to
92
I think
I was there
we had contracts and stuff
with some of the local government
agencies. For instance,
we, not only could you walk in
and get your old film and get your pictures an hour later,
but we've done
custom prints as well. We've done black and white,
and we've done enlargement.
My job is pretty much
for on the enlargement, an arming machine.
I'm printing out from 5x7th, 11 by 14th,
11 by 17.
I ever get stuff in from
times I get stuff in from a
Dayton Corners Laboratory
unfortunately we get to process
pictures for court cases
murders and deaths and stuff
like that. I don't know that one time
from a research laboratory
I don't want to say the name of it
but it was local to
where it worked and
this machine that I worked, this
large machine that I ran
I kept probably about like a
seven, seven inch
monitor on it.
So I take a negative, you know,
put it in it like an easel,
slide in this machine, and it'd bring up a positive
image of what's in the
negative, and then I could, you know,
adjust for color saturation and
crop it and stuff like that and print it out.
It was kind of fun,
especially when I got in there.
Local model photographers
bringing negatives for me to run all the time.
Yeah, and I always had this tour.
It was like actually the mistakes.
You know, it was like, oh, man, that's not good enough.
And maybe his wife had a pretty cool gig.
They would go around to local restaurants and even bars.
They would hire these women to model like night wear neglages and all that stuff.
So I always enjoyed those kind of pictures.
They were doing that work.
much better than doing like the corner stuff.
But anyways,
back to the research laboratory.
I got in this envelope with some negatives in it,
and the guy wanted like five by seven enlargements.
Not only read the name on the envelope,
there was one strip of negatives.
It was like three or four images, frames.
And I popped in the first frame
And up came on the screen
Was coordinates of like the
Features of up at any being
And I just remember
In school having to use grid paper
But, you know, how it had all the little squares
Basically
I didn't imagine an outline of an AIMA
and in the corners of its eyes it would have the coordinates on that grid,
the nose, the hands, the location of everything.
You didn't actually see like a body, you know, a physical body later in there,
but it was like the outline of everything of a body.
And so I, because I had to experience it.
I did in 75, all the way and stuff, I was always fascinated with GFOs.
You know, I always worked on my term papers or whatever, Roswell, the Roswell incident or something
of my dad.
And I called the number, and I asked for the guy that was on the paper, and it said the name
of the medical research company on the envelope, and he got on the phone.
And I'm processing your images right now.
And the assassination with, like that,
is a kid, what exactly is this?
Probably nobody's going to believe you.
That's from an alien autopsy.
And, okay, that's kind of weird.
That's what it is.
But nobody's going to believe you if I ain't worried about it.
And I finished printing them.
and put them in an envelope,
and he came in and picked them up later.
And then I fast forward a few more years.
I think it was probably about, right around 90, 94,
I had gotten into, took a computer repair course,
and I started kind of getting fascinated with computer.
And that was back where you had really the Internet.
AOL just came out.
I don't know if you remember going a grocery store,
but on every shelf,
it was a 3.5 inch floppy disk
with a 30-day free trial,
or America a line.
And that just started, like,
right after I got in the computers.
And, you know, anybody that was really messing with computers back
during that time,
you got familiar with what was called bullet
and you run a little, you know,
a program on your computer.
It was like a file server.
and you have a modem in your computer
and modem into your incoming phone line
and then you could dial up other boards
and you could dial yours and you could share files,
get files from each other.
And I was back when, you know,
you had the 14-4 modem, you know,
it wasn't the fastest thing in the world.
A nonprofit organization,
and they were based on right Paris and Air Force
based on what I remember.
and they put out
flyer, a monthly flyer, and I guess
I can probably say the name now that it's not
just to edit it out, but
it was called, I remember
specifically it was called D-RAM.
And I remember
because he ran, well, back the day
it was, I guess, dynamic
lamb. And
in that magazine,
they would acknowledge you in the computer
field and stuff, and it was
something, you know, like 10 or 15 pages,
and you pick it up in your local
computer hardware
supply store.
You know,
you can go and
best buy back
didn't get a
computer.
You went to a
computer outlet
that would custom
build a computer
for you
and you put together
you pick out your
video card
and what hard drive
you want
and out of RAM
everything
be custom
custom building
for you.
And the magazine
every
new
out seemed like
there was
always
I never want to
add it.
So I would
go through
and find
the local
bulletin boards
that I didn't have
to call
long distance
to connect my computer to.
And if you're lucky, you know, if you're lucky, the guy had, like, multiple phone lines in his house.
Right.
So you had a better chance to get on one, because every time you went to try to dial up someone's bulletin board, you know, it was a busy, get a busy signal.
Yeah.
And I found this one, and I remember their name of it.
It was called refrigerator.
It was local number for me.
So I dialed into it, and I was searching around.
I put in a QFO or something.
I don't know what I used to search.
Anyways, I came across a file that said Project Boo Book.
And I didn't know what Project Boo.
You know, even I had some fascination in my experiences over time.
I never even heard of Project Boo book.
and there's a description on the file
and the guy said
I uploaded several times
but he keeps getting deleted off my computer
I was like oh it must be good
so I downloaded it
and I went through it
stop reading a few pages
and it got kind of a little bit creepy
but
you know basically I checked
the suit
if Project B
the book was legitimate
And I guess it was something that part of, I guess, the government had kind of shut down, I guess, around the late 60, already 70s.
But apparently, what was in this project book I downloaded, stuff was still going on up until in the late 80s.
When I started an alien autopsy, and I actually went into detail and said that federal government had eight of these aliens in captivity.
I think up until around somewhere between 87 and 89.
And out of those two of them, I suppose it was still living at that time.
The part went in to talk about how they have, I guess, a brain in two separate hemispheres
and how that they excrete their ways to statured or scared.
and then this diet for them is a liquid diet because the work of the digestive system.
Right after that is when I start braiding it because it was a little too creepy.
But that's about the just of my eating experiences.
Yeah.
You know, John, I find it interesting because when I was a kid, I remember getting on the internet
and I would search similar things like aliens and things like that.
And I don't remember very much as far as where I was on the internet to see this stuff.
But I mean, we're talking about, you know, the late 90s.
And I remember coming across these images of these alien bodies.
And it scared me so bad because it looked so real.
And I had never seen anything that looked that real on TV or in movies.
Like, we're talking about, you know, 20 some years ago where technology wasn't what it is now.
And when you had a computer image of something on TV that was supposed to be quote unquote real, you could tell it was fake.
And this didn't look fake at all.
It was like these dead bodies laying on this like table.
And it scared me so bad.
It makes me wonder if like in the early 90s, kind of like in the 90s when the internet was really becoming popular or not popular but public.
I mean, it makes me wonder if, like, a lot of this stuff was leaked on the internet in the early days, and people could see this stuff, and they locked it down later on.
I mean, is that how you feel about it?
Oh, exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, from what I told you, that's what I do for a little is, I mean, I work in an IT field.
You know, back then, like I said, you know, you dial up another guy's modem, you know, and his computer files.
download the files.
You know, the government,
anybody that had
computer systems back in those days
and even up into
late 90s had
analog modems so that you could
download your patches from your vendors
for your software
or, you know,
share files and everything.
So the security
technology has come a long way.
So people had a lot of holes
in their system. They didn't know it back then.
So there was a lot of that information.
is accessible and people didn't know that, you know, those files are being accessed from their
systems like they can today. So that's about all of my experience. I wanted to ask you a little bit,
I wanted to ask you a little bit about that before we go any further. When you were a kid and you
saw what you saw, do you think that there was any interaction that you might have had that you forgot
about with this thing that you saw walking outside? Because the reason why I asked that is because
it seems like you clearly had some kind of side effect maybe from this where the humming noises
scared you. I mean, that's kind of very out of left field odd. And then on top of that,
the sleepwalking, you're not sure if it was before or after, but you distinctly remember
sleepwalking around that time. Do you think that there was an interaction that you had with these
things that maybe you just don't remember?
Well, I mean, there could be that possibility. I don't remember. But I know that, you know, my family's, at least from my grandmother's side, is very sensitive to things. I was very sensitive as a kid. I still am today. I mean, there are some places I won't go if I don't get a good vibe from it. But I certainly hope not. I don't know what they would.
had got out of me back in, you know,
five-year-old was not.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I don't recall anything.
I don't recall any experiences, you know,
seeing them up close or
being transported somewhere or anything.
The only thing, like I said,
I recall is somebody's sleep, weird, sleepwalking,
and humming noises definitely,
I don't know what it was about humming noises,
but I did not like him.
And, no, no, I thought maybe one day I might,
go to one of those people that, you know, does that reverse psychology, not reverse psychology,
but reverse therapy type thing.
They want to take you back in time and maybe see.
With the whole photo lab thing that you were working in and you were tech there,
what makes you think that why would they even risk it?
I mean, if you're talking about some kind of underground operation here,
why would they choose to use a public facility?
You would think that they would have some kind of like their own facility to do the things that you were doing?
You would think so, but you know, you didn't have a lot of one-hour labs.
I mean, they started getting popular shortly after ours, but, you know, if you wanted something quick, you know, you come into us and we'd get right back to you within an hour.
and accident
I can figure out
I mean
I had a
I had a
my own photo lab
at my house
my father was a photographer
in the army
on photography
all my life
and back in
it was
they had to have
a lot of equipment
to involve your own pictures
and it was expensive
you know
I don't know
I would have
I would suspect that there's
probably would have had, probably not our type of a large machine, a commercial grade,
but they would probably have had their own photo that I would have thought and processed your
own stuff. And, you know, it could always been some guy just making something up. I don't know.
It went to a lot of trouble, you know, to just make something up for himself.
Yeah. And, you know, that's the thing with that whole concept is that,
if he was just making something up and trying to, you know, pull somebody's leg, I mean,
I don't know. I just, I don't understand that why somebody would do something like that.
Like, if I was going to hoax something, I would hoax it in a sense that I wanted to go big on a big scale,
not just something, you know, where, hey, the local phototech guy is going to get a little chuckle out of this and ha,
ha, ha. But like, I mean, because that's all it was. I mean, it's not like you went public with it.
It's not like it went any further than you.
And clearly in those days there was internet,
I mean, you would think that somebody,
if they're trying to hoax something,
put it up on the internet,
put it in one of these forums,
these bulletin boards,
and let people see it and get attraction going.
I mean,
that's how people did stuff back then.
It wouldn't be, you know,
to go to a local photo place
and have them see this,
what should be,
top secret layout.
Yeah.
You know, and people, you know, back then it was like people had this impression that like we didn't see what we printed out.
And to give you an example, I remember one time we actually called a child molester when I look at that lab.
Because when we printed out pictures, we went through and checked all of them.
make sure that, you know,
with it having him too dark or too light
or, you know,
the colors were correct on it.
And I guess people were under the impression
that we put them in some machine
or just popped them out.
We put them in our bag and we never looked at them.
And that wasn't the joke.
And, I mean,
uh,
I mean, the people ask now all the time
that we really realized that we looked at it.
I mean, some of the pictures we used to get in
for film,
I'll tell you, you'd be surprised what people take pictures of it's in yet.
But I bet life was good at sometimes.
And sometimes you're like, no, I don't want to see this.
There was, you know, there were specific people that sent stuff in all over time.
I was like, doesn't this person realize that I think this stuff they're sitting in?
But, you know, it happens.
So you said you actually caught a, you guys caught a child molester with that?
Yeah, we did.
Yeah, he dropped off a bowl of film.
I won't go to details on it.
Sure.
He dropped off football film and
I thought it in our lab.
And he was coming back for the one hour processing.
And they held him up and told him that
we were having.
We were waiting for the police to show up.
So we tried to hold him off and then he got it.
And I pretty much called red-handed.
Wow.
You know, like, how, man.
That guy must have been really dumb.
Really, really dumb.
when you're doing something so illegal and so messed up and you go to the photo lab and they're like,
oh, we're having issues.
Clearly the issue is the things that were you were trying to get printed.
Exactly.
Like, how stupid can you be?
And that's what I'm saying is, you know, a lot of people do.
They don't know like they, you know, now you go to Walmart and just stick your memory card in and the machine.
It brings up your image you printed out.
You know, back then people didn't think we really looked at stuff.
They thought we put it in a machine
and it automatically done it
and we put an envelope and we didn't see it
except, you know, people
had custom enlargement's done, they obviously knew
but in a general person,
I mean, I can count it all the time.
People just didn't know we actually
looked through the pictures and I would look through
I put this glove on, I look through every single
picture to make sure that it was the best
print that we could do
for the customer
and so we even done stuff for the Corners Laboratory
and I hate that
and go through every picture. I mean, one time we had, not to get off
track here, but one time we had
the process of 700 black and white pictures
for a murder
I think it was around Dayton O'Hau.
And, well, yeah, it was from the Dayton Cornerst Laboratory.
So it was going to court Dayton O'Hau.
and as I said,
it was still in the black and white
pictures.
The guy that worked in the black and white lab there
first week, he took the next week off
because we just got to him
and I had to do it and finish up
some of them and, you know.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Just moving forward.
I'll talk a little bit about
a ghost experience.
Yeah, go ahead.
So shortly after I had
the experience with the A then
walked in my backyard
and moved to an area's
farmhouse. Our driveway was probably
about
it had to be
800 to 1,000 feet
and
I remember because we were living there during the
blizzard of 77 or 78
and the house I always had a bad
filling in the basement
and just that house in general.
And like I said, from a young age,
I had kind of just very sensitive stuff.
Obviously, the noise is, I mean, noises,
but I guess we'd call it intuition.
Pretty sensitive.
My younger sister, one day we're down in the basement.
I had this a water canteen, plastic canteen,
and I used to wear it on my side
because I always thought that was in the arm.
you know
and
I
laid it in a shower stall
in the basement
and you know
it was kind of an
unfinished basement
and I had a
a concrete shower
down there
and then one room
and then of course
we had the
washer dryer down there
and that was about it
you know
it was kind of one
those damp
unpainted
creepy basement
um
that did have a concrete floor
and stuff
you know
but um
I put that canteen in the floor, that shower.
I told my sister, I said,
if that canteen moves, you run.
And I don't know why I thought it was,
but I had water.
It was half full water.
I was letting it drain out.
And it scooted across the shower floor.
And, man, we all butt up the stairs,
petrified.
And I was like, I knew this place was haunted.
and, you know, I'd be laying a bed at night,
and I'd get a feeling like something was in the hallway or somewhere,
and I was kind of kid that, even though I was scared,
I would kind of go face it type of thing,
and get out of my bed and go to the hallway.
You know, my heart would be racing,
and I'd be feeling like there's something there.
I'd go look at the feet that was there.
I remember I done that one time,
I saw a full body apparition of a, excuse me, appellation of a male in my parents' bedroom.
And walking by, at the time I was laying in bed, and my bed lifted up off the floor,
and I don't know how far it lifted off the floor, but my feet were on the ground pretty quick.
I was in my parents' bedroom and told them what happened.
I stayed there too long.
We moved a lot when I was a kid.
Middle-town house that my grandparents had owned.
And they had lived in another house about two homes down,
and this house came up, and I guess the people fell in a hard times.
My grandfather bought the house from them.
They lived and moved in a little bit of a lawyer.
And when you walked in the front door,
there was a living to your left, a kitchen to the right,
straight up in front of you
upstairs was three bedrooms
and you could see them
there was a railing that went across
and
the far right
and when I stayed in
I stayed with my grandparent
a lot
and I was good too
I idolized my grandfather
so much time with him
as I could
and so I'd stay there
I'd stay in the middle bedroom
but
every night
I would
I would leave that bedroom
go in our bedroom
because I just got a
feeling that something was watching and uh,
it felt like something wasn't like that bedroom.
I'd either call up,
lay between them or them, you know, the bed
out like something was off in that house.
They moved, uh,
down to Texas and then I moved, uh,
at some point,
my uncle,
their son,
rented the house from them while they were down in Texas.
And he would come in sometimes from work.
He'd get in real early from work about the afternoon.
Take a nap sometimes because he'd go.
He'd leave for like 2 o'clock in the morning and go to work.
So he'd get to put it on a full day.
And he told me one time that he laid down that middle bedroom and he woke up.
Something was holding him down on the bed.
And he couldn't see what it was.
He couldn't get out of the bed.
And what I could do was about praying to God that whatever it was would leave.
And eventually it did, but it was confirmation of me.
It was always often that bedroom.
And I just felt like there's some type of evil spirit or something, of course.
And apparently left.
Mr. Fredericksburg, Virginia now, lived in this earth for about over 21 years.
And a little three-bedroom house here in my life, like a private, gated community.
and that's a little place with some woods
and a lake and this house
that already was built in my 24
and I actually knew the previous owner
come over here and help my grandfather
my grandparents actually moved here in Virginia
I kind of followed them
and my granddad when he retired
he just about her grass so
the place came up to sell
and I ended up making an offer on it
but I know she was the only person I lived here
First thing I noticed, let me give you a little background about this area.
Wood right in the middle of Civil War, and if you ever look up, Battle of Wilderness,
the battle was fought around here, of course, everywhere in Northern Virginia is some type of historical place or monument or something.
But this area where I lived, the woods called on fire and the Civil War Battle,
a lot of soldiers burned up.
Anyways,
I started coming out from work,
and I noticed there was a picture of my daughter that I had,
my little friend,
and I was sitting on a little table bar,
go out and we come in,
and I have other pictures,
but every time I come in,
that takes her space down.
And I,
honestly, well, it was a bad frame,
you know, picture frame.
I'm masticled a little bit,
and I was like, it don't seem like it's,
oddly.
And, you know, I started to notice it more often.
So I said to my wife, I said, why is that a picture down?
If I noticed it, you know, I come in from, I have all the pictures.
Hers is one face down.
And one night I was, took the picture, and I set it between me beside my recliner,
and then on the other side of that table was another recliner.
And I set it right there on FaceTime.
towards me.
I went to bed that night,
and about an hour or so later,
I got up,
and the first thing on my line was,
I'm going to check that picture,
and I came out here in the room,
looked at it,
and it was turned the opposite way
on the far side of the table.
It had been moved.
It kind of freaked me out a little bit.
We haven't really had much of anything else.
My wife,
like anything else
besides that
other than my wife
one night
got
something tapped her
on the back
of the shoulder
uh
and she was in a middle
bed and she thought
was me
she turned around
nobody's there
and I kind of freaked her out
and my wife
uh
me home one night
and they're coming back
from somewhere
and she said
what are those guys
done on the side of the bird
I'm like what guys
I don't see anybody
and she said
the back there was just
passing
And when she discarded him, it was a description of civil war soldiers.
We were back then during the war.
And I noticed on Facebook, like within a week after, which was weird.
Several people around here was reporting seeing ghosts up by the battlefield,
crossing the road down here, which is Route 20.
So some ghost activity.
I know that person down the street from me
that they had to sell their home
because they actually had a full
apparition in a Civil War ghost.
And
their family wouldn't come and stay with him.
And it was
a friend of that actually done some work for the lady.
She said that
when he asked her why
she'd sit on the place,
he said that
her daughter comes down here from Maryland to stay with her.
And she has some of a war ghost in her house.
And when her daughter saw it, she would not come back.
So she had to sell her house further north of Virginia.
Just in my experiences.
And I guess that's one reason I'm more open to what other people see
because, you know, my experience is, you know, being young,
I guess I feel more open to other people's experience.
Today I'm not into UFOs or paranormal stuff.
I'm big time in the Sasquatch.
Not that I want to see one,
but that's actually how I came across your show
was on West Gurmmer's Sasquatch Chronicles.
And we listen to that like every day.
So we hear you every time you jump on there.
I didn't want to tell my story
to feel like I need to get off my chest
because it really don't bother me.
I never felt like I needed somebody talk to about my experience.
I didn't care of people who believed my experience or not,
but it did happen.
I'm more curious if people, anybody else,
and then the other person I met,
seeing the same thing I did, you know,
Springboro Hall in 1975.
Back then, it was a township.
I think that now, you know,
now it's, a matter of fact,
in the late age, it was still a township.
I think it might be a city now, you know, because it's grown so much.
But, you know, I'm just a lot of people who's reported seeing aliens, UFOs, escorts, or whatever.
And too many reporting for, you know, for people not really be seeing something.
I mean, if one person is telling the truth, something exists.
So I have an open mind of that kind of stuff.
and I grew up in church.
And it doesn't talk about Bigfoot
Aetian and stuff in the Bible,
but it doesn't say they don't exist,
so it tells me they could exist, you know.
Sure.
You know, I wanted to ask you a little bit, John,
about that interaction you had with the guy
who saw what you saw when it came to the alien encounter.
What was that like, you know, sitting down and talking,
to somebody who saw what you saw.
And it wasn't the same exact day and time, right?
No, it wasn't.
No, it was actually probably a year or two later.
Because I actually ended up marrying this girl I was dating,
and her brother and him worked together.
They were two and die makers.
And when I went to see him, we didn't talk much about the experience.
It was like, hey, this is a guy.
tell me about, oh, okay, I know you're talking about now, you know, that type of deal.
You know, we just didn't really bring much up about the clean, I mean, at the time, you know,
in the same area, which was good enough for me. It was like, I remember that for all these years
for some reason. I was still happening. Yeah, now, with that alien entity that you saw walking,
I mean, how tall was this thing? Was it like a short little thing? Or was it?
Was it tall?
Because I've heard reports of them being, you know, seven, eight feet tall and all the way down to three feet tall.
It was about the size I was, and I was five years old.
So it couldn't have been much over four feet if that.
Probably maybe not even that.
And it seemed to me it had some type of uniform on.
That's what I recall, but I can't recall the details of it.
Because I said, you know, here, I look out the wind, I see this bright light and I'm falling it down.
the ground. It's like coming from the roof of my house type thing. And when I fall it down to the
ground, it's like, they're just in my backyard. The dogs are still going nuts. You know, you can get
the chain. They're trying to get through the chain link fence, trash cans, being knocked all around
for them. I don't have to get me out of bed over the window and see what was going on in my backyard.
Yeah. Well, John, man, I really appreciate you sharing these stories and stuff because, uh,
it's not every day you get to talk somebody who actually saw one of these entities and in the
situation that you saw it you know like it wasn't it wasn't like you were you know being abducted
or anything like that you just you looked out your window you saw what you saw and then the fact that
you had somebody else corroborate your story years later saying they saw the same exact thing
I mean that has to make you feel good it has to make you feel like you're not going insane or you
made something up or dream something yeah I did I mean it
It was a good confirmation.
And my mom would even confirm.
You know, it was not long ago.
I said, hey, remember the time I saw it in her backyard?
Yeah, I remember.
Yeah, I was going to forgot it either when it happened.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I guess it was a little different about you saw.
I mean, being versus, you know, like a UFO or something.
Which is one reason I want to share my story.
It was a little bit different.
Yeah, for sure.
And, uh...
Not like I was in a gut.
do anything. No, but it definitely, definitely interesting and, you know, down to the photo lab story
and everything. Man, I just want to say thank you very much for sharing that with us, and I really
appreciate you coming on the show and sharing. Well, yeah, yeah, thank you. I hope somebody else says,
here you got, so something like that around the same time, that'd be kind of cool, but thanks,
