It's time my story needs to be heard

I think in cases like these..the journey is far more important than arriving at the destination. In your search for answers, you're going to learn so much about stuff you never even cared about. Here I am 10 years later no closer to an answer..but I have quite a lot under my hat now.

What I have gained in terms of strength, character, wisdom, and humility is a good enough answer for me Please feel free to private U2U me anytime you need a talk, advice, or question I might be able to offer an opinion on.

Yes I read that and no I'm not using the movie per se but only the similarities in the entities depicted. Maybe Hollywood knows something we don't?

Here's the thing: these "visitations" also stopped suddenly when I got cancer. Does that mean anything to you? Any ideas? I still feel like I'm being watched when I sleep. It isn't every night. It's just a presence I feel sometimes and it makes it difficult for me to sleep or meditate or relax.

Hi again,
when our bodies breakdown or our mental state is under duress the ETs suspend visitations mainly due to the change in our energy frequency.To say they feed off us is a bit dramatic,however they do alter our energy to adapt to the new energy frequency that they share when they visit you.They will also steer clear of you if you are suffering emotional stress ie a divorce loss of a family member etc.
What I have found is that they have shared upgrades with me, to put it lightly bolts of energy entering the heart chakra and leaving via the crown Chakra,being scanned for ?? who knows what.
I would like to comment on your dreams.Many contactees have what is called dream recall .Our subconcious mind releases the information so we can absorb it at a more slower rate.
Coming to terms with your experiences is going to be a challenge but you will do it and it will make you stronger and enriched.
I know, I have been in the fear zone and it is scarey but work through it with the right people and it will be ok.
Good luck.

I tried to go out of my way to make it (the title) passive instead of egotistical and arrogant..I'd say I failed on that point maybe? No big deal. These experiences were just something I bottled up for a very long time..What I meant was that it's time to let it all out. I have no big message for anybody.

It ended up having positive results. No one should be able to fault me for that..I hope.

And your smile puts a smile on my face. Pass it on, folks.

No I guess I overreacted a little bit and I apologize for that

I too have seen the hooded robed thing in the corner of my house. My cousin and I both watched it for some 20 minutes. It just stood about 4 foot tall in the corner watching us. We were too afraid to move. It had no details just a black mass in the shape of a small wizened man in a hooded robe.

Then it just dissolved back into the shadows. We just talked about it the other day at a family gathering, 15 years after the fact and both remember it the same.

reply to post by NarcolepticBuddha


I too saw the similarity of your drawing to the beings depicted in the movie, 'Fire in the Sky'. And that movie scared the bejeeezus out of me too! UFO Hunters has Travis Walton on tonight (new show/new episode).
Also, although the movie didn't depict this, I have read Travis Walton's first hand account of his abduction and there were also HUMANS aboard that craft. Or what looked exactly like humans as we know it. And they smiled and I believe they spoke to him. Anyway, all around weird stuff.
BTW, your picture of the white funny little guy made me laugh. I thought of Gumby. But I'm not laughing at your story.

reply to post by alienDNA


I appreciate that. And I'd like to apologize for overreacting as well. I have been accused of being arrogant and egotistical and far worse. No big deal. I know who I am. I hope this thread shows that I am honestly trying to compile everybody's experiences, testimonies, opinions, and information-- and that I don't claim to be anyone special or have a special message for anybody.

Whether anybody believes my story or not, that's fine--it's not by business or place to judge. And it's not my job to make a believer out of anybody.

But this thread is about each of us that has posted, not just me.

I hope you're brave enough to mention this thread. It's important to know that one isn't alone when shouldering such a dark, disturbing memory like this.

Before I started this thread, I had no idea anybody had ever seen the Hooded Entity. I have seen a few paranormal or ET threads on ATS that describe similar circumstances, similar entity, but never the hood and robe. I thought I was going to get horrendously flamed, Bible thumped, and laughed at for this..not to mention the "Boxy Michelin Man." What an oddball that thing was!

People are seeing this. How can such a mass hysteria be explained? Given the fact that many of us have seen it and never shared the story--I personally did not even have internet access in those days so there's way I could have heard any independent accounts of the Hooded Entity--I don't think mass hysteria and mass hallucination is the answer.

It all goes back to my very first reply..Jungian archetypes. I think this is something very ancient we're dealing with.

reply to post by toolgal462


Yes, the Travis Walton story is an interesting one to be sure. With so little detail in my third sketch (the Gray Man), it is no surprise we're looking for the next closest image as a reference. I maintain that there were similarities and there were differences between the two. My sketch just wasn't good enough to detail what I was trying to draw. I only took drawing classes in high school and wasn't even that great at it then.

Don't worry, the smiling, white box makes me laugh too. I think that was the point of seeing it. To humble me instead of scaring me. It always reminded me of The Blockheads from Gumby.

Any Final Fantasy fans? Its shape and posture reminds me of a Cactuar. But, believe me, I drew it exactly as how it appeared to me with the bent elbow and tilted stance. It was also in motion as well.

Here's a Cactuar for reference: images.wikia.com...

I just received a message from my friend, Timical, I was telling you about in an earlier post. He said he and his wife have seen the hooded figure just in the past few days, and he was trying to remember something about it that he wanted to share with me, but his memory keeps going in and out about it.
I told him about you, and asked him to come read your thread for help in seeing what others have experienced.
He is going to school right now, but today is his last day, so maybe he can come post something here soon. I'll PM him again. But he may just post it on my thread... he is a loyal fan.
I'm very thankful these beings have never appeared to me. They freak me out just thinking about them! I don't know how you all say they don't cause you any fear when you see them! I read your explanation for this in a previous post, but................., as I said, I would be freaking out!

reply to post by sled735


The freakouts happen..they just happen after the fact. Let me assure you that any time I've ever seen any of these beings/ entities..I was in such shock that I was literally frozen and unable to react. You are feeling something way beyond fear. This was a kind of strangeness and horror that couldn't even be reacted to.

I wasn't exactly serene and tranquil about it. When I say I didn't feel fear, it's because I was way too shocked to be panicking and racing. Fear is an instinct, and I just couldn't react instinctively to something like this.

By the way, there is a sketch of the Hooded Entity I posted 1 or 2 pages back. That might help your friend.

Each time the encounter only lasted a few short seconds. I'm sure that if it had been a longer episode, I would have genuinely been feeling afraid and losing bladder control.

Yes, I've experienced a few of those paralyzing events in my life! I don't know what it was... didn't see it. Things like seeing the closet door open wide by itself while reading in bed, having something grab my ankles and pull me down out of the foot of the bed.... things like that.
Yeah, I know all about the bladder control, too.
I just sent Timical another PM. Hopefully, he will post here. He has had a previous experience with the hooded man he posted in my thread, now it's back. Hummm...............

reply to post by sled735


Howdy all, I was invited to share one of my experiences here and so shall I do. Here is the one regarding the grim reaper apparition:

"At the time I lived in Alpharetta, GA and was in the tenth grade. I had a friend that I would occasionally hang out with named Patrick. I kept him around because he was more than just a little "off", which made for some interesting conversations. On Friday night during the school year he came over to spend the night. Sadly all I remember of the early evening was when my mother came home and caught us in the process of jumping off the roof.( I was trying to make a point to him that it could be done without injury) My mother pulled up right as he was about to jump, obviously I caught some heat for this. Later in the evening around 10 p.m. we became bored as children do. So we decided to go outside into my backyard and jump on the trampoline. It was a clear night with a full moon and all the stars were out so they provided enough lighting that we did not bother to turn on the back porch light. After roughly 20 minutes of jumping we took a break and decided to just sit on the trampoline while we rested. This the point when Patrick's "offness" came into play. I was not interested in what he was saying but out of respect I simply listened and nodded as any good friend should do. Shortly after begining his little story I had THE FEELING. I knew there was something/ someone in our presence that should not be there.

At this point I began to causally glance around as in my past experiences, anytime I would directly look at an entity the would quickly route. So as I am listening to this story I get up and jump a little bit to get to the other side of the trampoline so that I view the area that was behind me. After I sat down and began to look the area over I saw what had alerted my senses. It was a complete apparition of a very tall, black robed and hooded figure holding a scythe in its right hand. Look up a picture of a grim reaper that does not show and face under the hood and that is what I saw. Now, When I noticed it, it was looking into my mother's room which is on the second story. (if it is possible and without breaking any rules I will post the address of the house so you can Google Earth it and take a look at the landscape)

After being completely still and silent for over a minute my friend asked me, "dude, what's up?" He then looks over to where I was looking, sees the reaper and blurts out, "holy ****, what the hell is that?" At this point ( I swear to God this what we saw), the reaper turned only its hooded head towards us for a brief moment while moving the scythe back about two feet. After a few seconds of looking at us the hood inverted itself and the arms went into the rob and back again so that it was now facing the opposite direction. Without any hesitation after changing direction he literally glided to the fence and went up and over into my neighbors yard. I never saw any legs or it outstretching its arms to climb the fence. It just went up and over. As soon as it was out of sight the dogs in my neighbors backyard went bat crazy and barked up a storm for several minutes. Needless to say that by the time the reaper began moving towards the fence, my friend Patrick was already half way to the back door. With the reaper out of sight and the dogs still barking I felt it was time to go inside. The only thing is that Patrick was so terrified that he locked me outside and would not open the door. Some friend. I had to then yell for my mom to come down stairs and let me in. She just looked at me, my friend, and stated, "I don't want to know." and went back upstairs. We slept under the covers respectively and he never came back to spend the night. Every word is true, and I hope you enjoyed. "

I saw your drawings on the previous pages, you displayed some talent there if I do say so myself, and I must affirm that I have never seen a face on any hooded figures. Also, thank you for sharing everything.

I would also like to share a few things regarding the OP in regards to a similar childhood, but I will do this in the next post as I am currently running short on available characters.

reply to post by Timical


Childhood: For the most part it was my mother, my brother, and myself. My father was deceased and my half sisters went to live with their mother a year or so before my father's death. I do recall nights when my brother and I would run around the house and act like ninjas, but more importantly whenever there was a "bump in the night", who ever heard it would go get the other sibling and we would go investigate the cause for alarm. Thanks to my brother, I do not have fear in the same respect others do. I too keep all doors closed when going to sleep although I have no reason as to why. I also used to sleep with my bed against two walls and always with the door across the room and so that it would be the first thing I see when I open my eyes. I have always been into checking my 6.

Markings: I do not believe I have shared this with anyone, but I too often awake with certain marks on my body. over the years there is one that I have seen more than others. It is simply too small "holes" in my skin that I have always attributed to spider bites. In all honesty I do not think they are spider bites, as the two holes are always spaced far enough apart yet also close enough to know they are a pair. When I was younger I had blood pools under my skin. The doctors thought it might be due to poor cell walls and that was seeping through veins and the such. The only thing that concerns me is that all of my marks are healed with in 24 hrs, which made it difficult to show a doctor. Maybe it is bug bites, maybe not. One thing is for sure, I do not know what causes them. As for being sore, well I have had certain episodes of feeling extremely sore, but why I should I not believe I simply slept wrong? All I am saying is that if there is a logical explanation, then that will typically satisfy my interests.

The healing sensation?: Stand back everyone, I got this! Okay, no I don't. I do however have a question. For some time now, since I was a child, I have the ability to generate vibrations that surge over every inch of my body. I have no idea what it is, but that I can do it literally every time I try. When one typically gets goosebumps, it will only occur over a certain part of the body such as the arms or back of the neck. Now, I am not saying I have some super ability, as even I do not know what it does. I am just curious to know if your sensation resembles what I am relaying to you?

Final thought: I applaud your use of vocabulary as it far exceeds my own. I am enthralled to read such an eloquently written thread. Understand that I do not mean to insult anyone, I am simply stating it is a rare gem to find an author so dedicated to their thread and the way in which it is received. Furthermore, the exchange between you and another, well let us just say that I enjoyed the humor in it. Have a weekend everyone, Tim.

Hmm interesting that your lingering memory includes a crystal skull. I know a little bit about them but not much, I'm afraid.

reply to post by Timical


I don't think you shared the "bug bites" on my thread. I don't remember that. This puts a whole new light on what you have been sharing with me... well, not all of it, but some. Maybe none. Geeze, I think my brain is worn out reading all the threads here tonight.

I appreciate you honoring my request to post here. I'm sure the OP will enjoy your experiences. And, I agree, and should have mentioned how well versed he is. A great thread he has here!

reply to post by Timical


Thanks for sharing your amazing story. I have often thought about my encounter with the Hooded Entity and tried to recall if he had a scythe as he did look like a grim reaper might. It simply wasn't so though. He didn't hold any scythe and its arms were well wrapped within the robe.

As a child, I was always that friend who was a "little off" But, it wasn't all bad. I weirded a lot of people out, but I was also very often told I was the only one people could talk to or come to for help. I am a protector of sorts for my friends. Nowadays, I prefer to be alone, but still have a lot of people who call on me for help and little else. It's okay, I am here to serve goodness only and I accept the task. People have generally distanced themselves from me as they begin to know more about me. But if they need help or advice or just someone to hear them and empathize, they come to me first.

I wake up very sore about 90% of the time. My muscles are stiff and rigid and it takes me a while to loosen up. But I generally attribute this to my muscle disease and other complications I have. Not to mention the fact that I often require up to 12 hours of sleep a day spaced by 12 hours of being awake. This is due to my sleeping disorder, narcolepsy. I have awoken plenty of times with mysterious cuts, scratches, and small bruises. But they have never really alarmed me. It wouldn't surprise me if I did those things to myself while sleeping. Anyway, they have never been major and never really slowed me down. I bruise easily anyway.

The healing sensation is very interesting. Did you see my recent post referring to my experience in sleep paralysis where an unseen entity performed this sensation on me and said something along the lines of "He's needed this for a really long time!" I was always aware of this tingling, vibrating, jolting sensation and I felt it often both in sleep paralysis as well as deep meditation. I am capable of initiating it at will as well--but it usually requires some serious effort on my part. Other times it comes quite easily..it all depends on your state of mind; how tense or relaxed you were that day makes the difference. It starts at the top of the head and runs down the spinal column before spreading outward. Sound familiar? It never occurred to me to use the sensation in this way until I had the sleep paralysis. But it seems to help whenever my muscles get especially sore. It's good for acute pain too.

I'm glad you enjoyed the thread and I appreciate you contributing to it. I tried to write in formal prose for much of my OP and my replies. Just trying to show people I take this seriously. But I have a great sense of humor as well that often peaks through. You can't take anything in this world so seriously that you can't turn around and have a chuckle over it as well. Some things are just beyond weird and tragic and require a little lightheartedness to confront them. I prefer humor to catastrophic despair.

I wonder why the grim reaper image showed itself to you. Do you think it had anything to do with the fact you were about to leap off the roof? Not saying it would have instantly killed anyone. But it did seem like a dangerous thing to do that could have lead to a serious injury. It has the potential for danger. By the way, I once tried jumping off the roof onto my trampoline, I nearly broke my leg and back! I bounced off the trampoline forward and onto the ground. ouch!

I ask because my Hooded Entity appeared at a time when my health was at a very critical point. However, others haven't mentioned the events in their life surrounding the encounter. I suspect this is a very important piece of the puzzle. I could be wrong though. Maybe this thing just shows up whenever it feels like it and has no auspicious reasons to.

reply to post by NarcolepticBuddha


Oddly I have never experienced fear with my visitors, sometimes they can be a bit of a pain and insistant with me if I don't comply, but not fearful. The only concerns with me are the missing time, especially the 3 hour one. When I am woken at 5.30am about 3 or 4 times a week, they say " it's time " then they wait for me to get up, I end up going downstairs to the toilet, then back to bed, that seems to satisfy them. I have noticed how wide awake I feel when they call me, but if I set the alarm for 5.30am I can hardly force myself to get up. The " Wake up visitor " never follows me downstairs, it just stands in the upstairs hallway, lost in what it is doing ( whatever that is ). But I will pass a few more on my journey downstairs, they are also pre-occupied with what they are doing. A few nights ago, the " wake up visitor " also said " you knew " in a raspy voice, as I was walking down the stairs, I should have asked what it was that I was supposed to have known.

Interesting story but what I don't understand is that with all these people experiencing Abductions, visitations or
whatever you want to call them! Why for their own peace of mind would they not set up some kind of hidden recording device? This is why I don't believe that these things are really taking place! Years ago before aliens
became so popular there was something called Old Hag syndrome! This was an event where the person would be awake but be paralyzed as well! Then they would slowly start to feel they were being watched! after this they would see this voyeur who would turn out to by an ugly old hag! Some of these people would even experience this hag climbing on top of their frozen body and some individuals would even suggest that they were sodemized by these entities!
I believe one of the reasons why these people will not record their night time episodes is they subconsciencely want to believe that there is something other then their own imagination perpetuating these events! This is sad cause if I for one had any of these types of experiences I would want to validate whether they were real or imagined! Truth is that the mind is a very powerful computer and reality can be difficult to perceive but it's up to the individual to realize that the possibilities of the absurd are out of this world! As is this story! Goodluck with your problem OP!

By the way about hypnotic regression. It sounds really interesting. But I'm worried about how it might change my perception of events. I'm worried about getting false memories implanted in the mix. It'll make everything even more difficult for me to understand if that happens. It'll move me in the wrong direction. I'm not willing to risk that.

Not to mention that I couldn't afford one right now anyway. Maybe, someday. ATS will be the first to know about it.

I don't think that specialists in the abduction phenomena will charge you anything. Try contacting David Jacobs, he has been working with abductees for over 30 years now.
