Fantastic another smoke pit story. Can I just say thank you very much for mentioning me in one of your previous videos about skinwalker ranch. Wasn’t expecting that so thank you :) and sorry for not replying to your message that was incredibly rude of me. Thank you for your awesome content.
Thanks for the rec.
Congratulations Xavier on your new book 🍾🥂
I would love to share my story with you if you want to dm me so I don't have to leave a novel in the comments.
Im sorry for My english im going to tell you My dads military service story
He was in teritorial defence of the ypa (yugoslav peoples army) and one night he and his friend where At the border rock (granični kamen) and they heard a girls screams in the distance and they wanted to help. When they came they saw two dead bulgarian soldiers next to that girl and she turnd around and My dads friend said to him to run he was never heard from again the last thing My dad heard where shots and screams. My dad was questiond and they told him never to tell anyone
That alien over the bed properly freaked me out!
The only thing that freaked me out more was when it happened! Luke knocked it out of the park...
Yeah I tensed up as soon as I saw it, absolutely terrifying.
Love this channel ❤️
Yeah, especially since it was apparently poking its head through the wall. The video didn't *say* the headboard was right up against the wall, but whose isn't?
Me too!
This story REALLY got under my skin. Home invasion is one of my greatest fears. Throwing in aliens into the mix makes it 10x worse.
It's even scarier when you realize that the "greys" are, in fact, biblical demons and not interstellar visitors. Interdimensional maybe between here and hell which is why they're often described as having a rotten egg (sulphur) smell to them. The least they could do is take a bath before barging into peoples homes no manners what so ever.
Not just a home invasion, not just aliens doing the home invasion but aliens invading your home to stick things up your butt for "science"
just imagine ther are home invadoes/aliens at your place, you hide, and suddenly you hear "welcome to demolition ranch. today, home many alien home invaders to stop a .50 cal" then panicked shrieks of the invadors and Matt's laughter XD
I dont think greys are imune to buckshot tho, you just gotta be ready

When I worked in Security. Often, during my breaks I would find a quiet corner in this one room of the building I was stationed at and close my eyes for roughly 30 mins. During this time I would fall into a deep sleep and usually had these very vivid dreams of people walking into the room and pulling on my legs. I could literally feel my legs being lifted and pulled on as if the beings were trying to drag me out of the room by my feet. Because i just wanted to sleep and get as much rest during my breaks I would often murmur; "Stop it! I just want to sleep for a bit and then I'll leave." that's when the pulling would stop and the people would leave the room. Then my alarm would wake me up and I'd go back on post. I always dismissed this as sleep paralysis but since I left that job, I have never had another episode of "sleep paralysis" or felt someone pulling on my legs trying to drag me out of the room. And, yes, that building had a reputation for being haunted by what I'd call friendly ghosts. They never really tried to harm me, they would just let me know they were around and often times, while on patrol, I could feel someone around me as if they were joining me on patrol for company. I never really had any feeling of dread or despair, never felt a "dark" entity or "evil presence" but I did feel like I was never alone on those 3am patrols.
Were you in the military?
Those are the best kind of ghosts.
Maybe those ghosts were people who died from natural cases...
Yep, this one is for me. My earliest memories are of "beings' visiting me in my bedroom as a small child. The most striking experience (that I remember) is at age four when a "man" drifted through my bedroom wall from outside (windows were closed and locked) and I managed to get out of bed and get halfway to the door before he said, 'Where are you going?" Upon hearing his voice I was paralyzed with fear for what felt like forever, but was probably a minute. Then, suddenly, I could move/speak again and I turned and said, "To the bathroom!" and ran out. For decades I thought this was the only time this happened. But two years ago I got in touch with an aunt who had visited my family when I was four and a half. We started talking about ghost stories (I thought the man was a ghost) and I brought up this memory. She said, "I know. I remember you telling me about him when I visited you and your parents. You told me this man *frequently* visited you in your room and chatted with you. When he was done, you said he would float up through the ceiling and go 'waaaay up to the stars.' I asked you to draw a picture for me and you drew your house and a picture of the night sky with some stars and you drew a line showing where the man emerged from the roof of your house and traced it to the constellation you said he went back to."
Call on Jesus to make it stop
I awoke in my early thirties to a bloody pillow case and blood on my nose.
A scan revealed a sinus cavity tumour which if left for much longer would have penetrated into my brain cavity.
2 surgeries were required to remove the tumour and perform facial reconstruction work.
That bloody pillow saved my life and led to a rapid diagnosis.
The Smoke Pit stories are probably my favorite series on the channel.
Heart goes out to this man! Can't imagine the trauma and feeling of aloneness. Hope his wife and family are supportive and love him.
As far as dreams go, I had an unusual one in my early teens.
My uncle, John Cercek, commanded a B-17 during the early part of the daylight campaign against Germany. He never talked about the missions but would gladly talk about his plane "Pee Wee".
Learned much about the 17 and infact drew many pictures of it as I thought it was one of the most beautiful planes Boeing ever built. Now to my dream. I remember all of a sudden, I was in the left hand (pilots) seat of one of these planes, in the middle of a mission. Now, I had never been inside of a B-17, but in my dream I could see all of the gauges, throttles and wheel with the Boeing insignia on it. Flak was exploding all around and I could even hear the crew talking in my headset. Next thing I remember is a very loud explosion and looking out the left side I saw the entire wing separate and come over top as the plane rolled to port and into a dive. I don't know about the copilot or rest of the crew, but I found myself unable to unfasten my seat harness. As I'm struggling with it I'm also watching the ground spinning round and round and getting closer. I could hear the engines on the starboard wing whining out. That's when I woke up. My alarm clock blaring. I was covered in sweat and shaking. Never had a nightmare that seemed so real that it physically shook me.
I later got a book that detailed the B-17 and when I looked at the picture of the cockpit, my blood ran cold. It was exactly as it was in my dream, down to the Boeing insignia on the wheel. Now, as I said, I had never been in this plane before and to my recollection, never seen a photo of the interior. I don't believe in reincarnation at all but I to this day cannot explain how my mind knew what it looked like.
I apologize for such a lengthy story, but I didn't want to leave out any detail.
Thank you
this reminds me of one pf my personal favorite books called "ghosts of the air"...really really great read
@@SuperDiablo101 I'll have to look that up. Had totally forgotten about that dream until I saw this episode.
I once got the chance to go inside a B-25 Mitchell bomber at a local museum and sit in the left pilots seat. As soon as I grabbed the control yoke, I could feel the plane rattling, saw the left engine running, and a line of other B-25s running their engines ahead of me on a runway. But that feeling soon vanished. Funny enough, the plane was in a hangar at the time, and I knew even during the experience where it was, but it still felt real to me.
@@adamestes5227 That's wild! As if the plane was trying to tell you a story or something!
I'd be creeped out!
@@adamestes5227 that would make o e hell of a wartime stories episode if you more information on it
Wartime Stories is one of those channels where I hit like before it even starts playing. It's gonna be great. We all know it.
This story gives me the chills .
The nosebleed may be a significant part of this. My dad has sleep apnea and and since it started happening in his 50s, he's also experienced occasional night terrors/sleep paralysis (still does at 70+ years old). He also has atrial fibrillation. I've sometimes wondered if maybe these night terrors are his brain's way of stimulating a rush of adrenaline to "reset" him. Maybe Xavier was choking on blood and these night terrors happened to get him to wake up before it killed him. I dunno, just a theory.
There's also a theory saying that nose cavities are a place for aliens' implants.
Hey thanks for this comment! My dad also has sleep apnea, and I literally clicked on this video from the thumbnail, as I’ve seen “aliens” that looked exactly like the thumbnail, and I’ve been looking forever to see if someone else has seen something like this, but your comment makes sense, maybe I’ll look into getting screened for it
@@ifyoudontfailyouarenoteven6210this is interesting theory to consider
I hope Xavier can find some peace. Totally terrifying.
The frustrating thing is some where in the halls of government a few people are in possession of knowledge of what is going on and what these creatures are.
Sorry not creatures, beings
If he calls on Jesus it will stop
13:16 - Ok, I've had that knee thing. For me, the whole experience was, one day I notice a small black object, about the size described here, not deep under the skin of my knee, off to one side.
No irritation of surrounding tissue, no obvious penetration injury... it was like my skin wasn't bothered by it at all. Regardless, once I realised it wasn't going anywhere, I cut it out. It crumbled as soon as touched. It looked charred.
A few month later, I found another hiding somewhere on a hard-to-see part of my eblow. Same results. Never knew what to make of it. Still don't.
EDIT - I will add in, the only experience that comes to mind that sounds potentially related was of waking from my sleep once to see a dark human shaped form standing at the side of my bed about level with my chest. The oddest part about this was when I woke and remembered it, realising that despite thinking I'd seen this, my mental response was almost "Oh what a strange blurry shape to see, where it never is any other night.... BACK TO SLEEP!" That doesn't seem like a reasonable reaction to a figure standing over you when you wake. Unless it was all just a dream. Which it likely was.
more often than not it's a large comedonal acne. they can keep growing and accumulating dead cells, it's black because of oxidation. that's how blackheads darken in the first place. I don't have first hand experience, but if you look on medical forums you will find people saying theirs may look glassy or metallic in appearance, some crumbly as well. hope that helps
It was years ago, never an issue since. More likely your explanation than "aliens did it!"
Sounds like you were visited by the old hag which often forms in a blury dark haze by your bed. Look up sleep paralysis! It's weird as people from all round the world get the same image
I suppose it was probably all a dream, but did you used to read Word Up magazine?
Salt n Peppa and heavy d up in the limousine
For me, there is nothing more terrifying than an alien standing in your room watching you
In regards to the nosebleeds and possibly the other bleeding issues, just thought I'd bring up a POSSIBLE explanation:
There is a disorder known as Von Willebrand Disease that can come in a few levels of severity. I myself have it and essentially it means your blood will not clot properly; outside of major injuries the most common symptoms are bruising and excessive nosebleeds that can come at random. I too have woken up with blood on my pillows, and can have bleeding issues lasting for long periods.
Also, just a bit of advice: DON'T tilt your head back when having a nosebleed. "Drinking" the blood isn't a good idea. Lean forward and pinch your nose, if this lasts longer than 10 minutes seek medical help.
No offense friend. Lot smart people have looked into various "bleeding" issues, and sn sure this disorder is known to them.
When I was early in my teens I use to get these MASSIVE nose bleeds which wouldn’t stop until huge black squishy thing came. Eventually they stopped. Still wonder what the hell that was about.
@@starmnsixty1209 You have no idea what people looked into regarding this man’s experiences.
This is a work of fiction from an admitted writer! 😂 Yes, these things do happen. But, to give advice 😂
@@The_ZeroLine And you do?
I struggled with sleep paralysis and extreme OBE for the longest time. I had insomnia. I was too young to explain properly to my only guardian/adult who was my great grandmother and explained it away as nightmares. It took me a long time to figure this out for myself and cope with it. I still have trouble sleeping.
I've never been in the military (to my regret), but have experienced some strange things in my childhood. The first thing I can recall was when I was 3 or 4 years old on a Easter morning. My brothers and I shared a room at the time (I'm the middle of three, each seperated by three years) and my older brother and I awoke before the sun was up in anticipation, which was unusual for us at the time. So we decided to go look for our baskets, in the dark, but when we opened the door to the room there was the shadow of a man standing just outside it. Just standing there. We thought it was our dad and closed the door again and went back to bed. This sequence only took about a minute or so and the shadow never actually moved in any way. This has stuck with me ever since, partly because the shadow was visible against a completely dark living room. I honestly can't say if it was part of a very vivid dream or actually real, but I do remember my brother and I talking briefly about it in the morning. I don't know if he still remembers it as that was about 40 years ago, but I do.
To not ramble too long, I also spent my early life seeing hands reaching out from the shadows of low- or unlit hallways and stairways. They never touched me, but were always reaching, appearing and disappearing in constant waves. And once, and it never happened again anywhere, at a friend's house l saw a head come out of the shadows and immediately vanish. Never saw them in rooms, though.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
5:30 I imagine quagmires voice saying "didn't mean to wake ya."
This story reminds me of my own waking dream experiences again blurring the line between dream and reality. I'm currently serving in the US Air Force stationed out at Minot AFB in ND as a crew cheif. I arrived here back in September of 2020 and at the time I was was the only person living in my dorm room. The dorms I live in have four bedrooms each with their own bathroom attached to a small common area with a kitchenette and washer and dryer. It was a Sunday night about to start my second week here when my first experiment occurred. I was laying on the left side of my body facing away from the bathroom door when all of a sudden I heard a strange noise that I can't really describe come from inside my room. I sat up and looked around my room only to find nothing so I grabbed my phone off my night stand and tried to turn on the flashlight, but each time it turned on it would immediately turn back off again so I decided to get out of bed and try to turn on the lights but I was unable to, it felt like some unseen force was keeping me in my bed. I then thought to myself this is all in my head and layed back down on the left side of my body. Then suddenly I felt like I was floating, being lifted off my bed and then started drifting towards the door. I tried to see what was happening but found myself paralyzed and unable to scream. I frantically tried moving, screaming anything to break myself free from this force when it just dropped me and I felt myself hit the carpeted floor but woke up in my bed laying in the same I was in before. I jolted up out of my bed in a panic and looked around the room and yet again saw nothing. I put this off as some bad dream and layed back down in bed facing the away from the door. Then I heard it again the same strange noise as before but this time I tried ignoring it thinking it's all in my head. But then I felt something like three small fingers gently grabbing my fist and began pulling on it, I quickly pulled my fist back closer to my body and tried ignoring it thinking its just a dream, then I felt the same sensation again as three fingers, this time a little more firm, grab my fist again and pull on it. I tried biting it but only wound up biting my own hand before pulling my hand back and still trying to ignor it. Then I felt the same floating sensation again and I tried frantically to move or do anything to get out of it when again it dropped me back into my bed. I again woke up in a panic and this time got out of bed and investigated my dorm only to find nothing and that I was all alone, after that I made sure all the doors and windows were closed and locked before I went to bed each night. The other story is nothing so spectacular but it happened twice and was no less terrifying. I would awaken to feeling of another presence in my room to find a tall shadow figure standing in the doorway to the bathroom holding what looked like a knife in its left hand. It would stand there staring at me when suddenly it would make for the foot of my bed and crouch down so I wouldn't see it. In fear I would grab my sheets and try to ward of the being to then throw them to the floor and grab my water bottle and back myself into the corner bottle poised to throw it at the intruder only to wake up and find myself in the same position I was in when this "dream" ended and bed being a mess with my sheets and covers all over the floor. One thing that makes the last story real for me is the details, the first time it happened I had a clear plastic water that would appear the exact same in my dream and the second it happened I had a blue metal one that I would be the same in my dream. Each time it happened my room would be layed out exactly as it would be in real life down to where my water bottle would be on my night stand along with everything else.
Also sorry for any grammar or spelling errors it early in the morning and I have a little bit of a hangover. BTW that picture of the alien crawling on the bed made me drop my phone I could not look at that, great job as usual keep it up man
Dude get a MRI
It could be that you woke as you were about to leave the body. We all do as I'm sure you know & sometimes the sound on separation is very loud. The menacing figure is likely the "gate keeper", which scares many people into abandoning their OBE attempts.
The tilting head part got me, as it reminds me of an experience I once had. No dreaming to it, I was wide awake and got the shock of my life.
Sleep paralysis
@@Jedittee
How can you have sleep paralysis when you're wide awake?
@@Shipwright1918 That's what sleep paralysis is. You are suddenly jolted awake but parts of your body are still thinking you are asleep, so you can't move (your body normally making sure you don't act out your dreams), and your nightmares are still active so you see and hear horrible things.
I had a time when I was small and I was sleeping for the night in my parents' bed, and I woke up only to see an alien come around the corner, into the room to the foot of the bed, and then start to reach towards my parents on either side of me. I couldn't move or make any noise and it traumatized me for years. But when I learned about sleep paralysis that experience fit the description perfectly and that's what I assume happened.
@@jadenhirst9230
I re-iterate, how are you supposed to have sleep paralysis when you are not, in fact, asleep to begin with? Outside, up and on your feet, nowhere near a bed, fully conscious and awake the entire time?
No blackouts, no missing time, no blinking-and-it-disappears. You get a good long look and it gets a good long look at you in return.
@Shipwright1918 Ah sorry, I assumed you meant you were just wide awake when you saw it but had woken up like the situation in the video. I've met quite a few people who don't realize what sleep paralysis is and it helped me so much to realize that was what happened to me, so I try to help others the same way if I can.
This man experienced a very common experience There is 100s of this same experience. All around the world. Troy from Australia 🇦🇺
this one hits a little close to home with the night tarrors, nose bleeds, missing time, and seeing things you know aren't there. one of these days ill half to wright it all down.
I remember having vague memories of being afraid of the dark when I was younger because I always felt a presence watching me. I used to live In a two story home and my room was in the second floor. I was the only person that slept on the second floor and everyone else slept downstairs. I was between 15-18 when I lived in this home and felt this feeling of always being watched at night.
Heck, one time I came back home from our family's restaurant at 10 PM and I saw a triangle-shaped UFO just slowly hovering slightly above the pine treeline that was right behind my house, while pulsating its red and white lights.
The last one I remember was when I fell asleep during my first week in Miami. I remember being aware of my surroundings and seeing myself walking with a being cloaked in bright white clothing. While I still can't remember everything the being said, his aura was one of kindness and understanding. He would point with his long pale index finger to the pristine and beautiful craftsmanship of the buildings in this city, and had a thought put into my mind that these buildings were made to withstand natural disasters ten times worse than the ones on Earth. I remember being told that the only reason this was achieved was because their people long ago decided to unite as one after realizing that all things are connected to the "Source" (cosmic consciousness or God for some), and that all the negative events their race experienced were done to come to this realization.
He said that humanity has had a hard road since its inception due to our massively diverse and concentrated gene pool making each sub-group of humans share a variety of both positive and negative practices that have led to conflict.
He mentioned humanity was a grand experiment made by a galactic council millions of years ago to prove that one species can be implanted with hundreds of other species' DNA in order achieve balance and add a completely unique perspective to the Universal Consciousness. This was also done to show warmongering species that you can use violence to protect others weaker than yourself instead of harming them, and that by doing this their peoples benefitted from the knowledge of the ones they were protecting. While most warrior-type species, as they are now called, follow this mantra. There are some that still conform to the baser predatory instincts and those still pose a problem.
To get back on track, I was basically told at the end that humanity is one of those very rare species in the universe whose potential in both the individual and collective aspect is boundless no matter what path in life they choose. As a result, many species that don't have this kind of potential become very curious about us, and also how our bodies can emit plus contain so much emotional energy. The being jokingly called human bodies and their emotional energy as the equivalent of billions of active nuclear power plants.
After that, I woke up and didn't remember much else. I thought it was a weird dream and just moved on with my life. I don't mind if someone doesn't believe my story since it's quite out there.
You are one Trippy Hippy. Acid is a hellof a drug
Thanks fir sharing a wonderful Astral experience 🎉
Luke, you have my deepest appreciation for this video. You did my experiences justice--although my wife is giving me hell for the manbun you gave me!
I'm also thankful for everyone sharing their own experiences and stories. It's cathartic to discuss this with people who've experienced the same thing.
On the flip side, I know that there are a great many skeptics. And it's just as cathartic to have good faith discussions with people who are skeptical. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And I don't have any such evidence--if I did I would not be the first person in line questioning these things. I would be here planting my flag and dying on the hill of "Aliens".
Instead I'm left with a mystery.
Thanks for sharing the story with Luke. Was an interesting tale.
Thank you for your story. May i ask do you ever experience a memory but you can't remember to the point but you feel nothing but fear?
I haven't told many people about my story, but I have had a hardcore gut feeling since it happened that it was 100% real and not a dream. I have no interest in trying to prove it to anyone who doesn't believe me. I trust my gut. Since I had nightmares nearly every night from a young child, I felt like I became a nightmare connoisseur and would categorize my nightmares into all different types of varying 'realness'. But I still knew that none of them were real. But the man floating through my wall when I was four happened while I was wide awake and there is no way I will ever believe, for as long as I live, that this was just a dream.
Even earlier than age four, at maybe age two and a half, I would awaken and feel a presence in my room. I *knew* at a biological gut level that it was neither of my parents. I also knew that "it" would come to the side of my bed and pick me up. Whatever/whoever it was would raise my body up in the air, but not in a cuddly way like how your Mom or grandparent would. It would hold my body with arms outstretched, the way you would pick up an object to study it. It would stand there holding me up for a few minutes. My terror was so great during these "visits" that I could not move. I just pretended to still be asleep. I would "pray" that it wouldn't speak. I also had a gut feeling that if I opened my eyes and saw what was holding me that the fear would literally kill me. After a while, the thing would put me back down on my bed. I would still not open my eyes for ages in case it hadn't left and I saw it by accident. I'd just lie there eyes closed and eventually go back to sleep. All my life I thought of these as ghosts, and didn't consider aliens till recently.
@@clemdane thank you for you story. I was 9 and still learning about aliens. I remember how the living room was with a green light a note to this it definitely past midnight since i would go to bed at 10, i was walk out to the living room there stand a 3 feet creature looking at my mom but it would notice me and turn to look at me it black eyes just made me petrified and i tried to scream but nothing came out. I may have experienced time lost because when I got my sense back the light was gone and go to awake my mom but from what i was told it was my little sister but problems is i knew she was sleeping in same bed as me . Sorry for rambling and I still question myself what happened and this event still make me feel petrified, and huge head pain from trying to make out the details of this story. Thank you if have read this .
Thanks for sharing your story Xavier. Sometimes it’s good to get these things off your chest, rather than keeping them bottled up inside you. I always find these stories interesting, but have not physically experienced anything like this myself.
I served in the U.S. Army from July 2003 to July 2007, and in the Army Reserves from 2008-2010 and never had any weird experiences when I served, but I have a few memories from my early childhood that I still can't explain.
I remember the first house I lived in as a child with my parents, they would have friends come over and have kickbacks or parties (my parents were pretty young when they had me so they would've been in their early to mid twenties when I was a toddler). I remember one night my parents had friends over and they were drinking and smoking, but nothing seemed too wild from what I remember. I was walking around in the living room for some reason and it seemed pretty late for me to be up, but all of a sudden, it was like everyone froze in place and everything got quiet. It wasn't everyone stopping what they were doing because something had happened that caught all of their attention; it was as if time a froze and everyone was just frozen in place like a scene from a movie. From my perspective, this seemed to only last for a second or two, but just as soon as it started, it end and everyone just started moving again and acting as if nothing had happened. What makes this memory stand out to me though is after time seemed to unfreeze, it had gone from night to day...like bright almost middle of the day daytime. And just like with the time freeze a few seconds earlier, no one seemed to notice but me that it was now bright outside. I can't really remember what happened after that. It might have just been a super realistic dream, but I know with 100% certainty that I was awake when this happened. Perhaps it was a glitch in the matrix that only I noticed.
I had the exact same thing happen to me at a football game in school. I jumped into the air and for about five seconds life was frozen but I was able to consciously observe everything. Life "unpaused" itself and continued as usual.
Now, both of you, can you remember the date, or year approximately?
@@ixoraroxi for me it would have been in the summer May-July of 2010. Sorry I can't pin the date down exactly but it was a while ago haha
Just what i needed waiting for my flight! Thanks Luke!!
For anyone who is interested- Jacques Vallee, Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Streiber, Dr. Steven M. Greer and Richard Dolan are arguably the most respected, informed and well documented authorities alive with regard to this topic and the significance it presents.
The closest thing I have to a story like this is when I was around 3 years old and woke up in the middle of the night seeing sort of a blue glow coming from the my open doorway. The doorway leads directly straight into a hall and to the right is the stairway to the first floor. I remember getting out of bed and walking to about the middle of the room to get an angle on the blue light coming from downstairs and then I saw a shadow of a bald figure. Comically, I didn't know what aliens were at the time so I asked "Grandpa?" as that was the only bald man I knew. I then woke up and was none the wiser for a few years.
Also funny thing, my neighbor went to high school with Uma Thurman.
When I moved in my sisters room few years ago I remember waking up at night seeing some black shapes standing in middle of the room, I had a bad eye sight I would wear glasses but not when I was sleeping so I couldn’t make out the shapes. I remember that I couldn’t move or do anything only thing I would do is try to yell and regain controll of my body but I would fall right asleep after the encounter or pass out… It would also continune when I was sleeping with my girlfriend she would say that only she heard me screaming and wouldn’t have seen anything else.
Never have I spoken this to anyone in my life. I had to change some things because God forbid someone I know found out this about me. The story happened in 2009-2011.. Can't remember-long time ago (I'm 25 now). I do not have any connections to the military, so.. Yeah 🤷♂️ However, my country is a 3rd world, so: no top secret projects, no ufo nuts to play pranks, no air force drills too often etc. Most regular explanations are gone. Also English is not my first language so sorry for spelling.
It was around 10pm and I was with my friend at the time infront of our houses in a street in a suburban part of a city in the Balkans. The street is about 50m long and there were houses next to each other. The night was unusually clear so we could se the stars (but there were some street lamps that were causing light polution). At one point we noticed a brigt white light very high in the sky movig slowly across. Like a satelite or a passanger plane. We almost dismissed it and carried on with our conversation when the colour of the light started to change rapidly and the object started to make (my english might fail me here so sorry) "zig-zag" lines across the sky and then again moving in a straight line again slowly. We were amazed.
So you have a distant bright object moving slowly in a straight line across the sky, changing lights and making fast zig-zag lines and then again slowly moving in a straight line. All that periodically. Absolutely no sound, but there was something very odd that we noticed after the light had gone away. It somehow became less and less bright and then "faded away" so to say. The thing we noticed a few moments after it was gone is that the birds, cats, bugs (that street is in a neighbourhood with lots of trees, parks etc), dogs suddenly became alive again. It was as if during those 5-10min there was absolutely no sound anywhere. And yet we were talking to eachother during the sighting like:"woah, did you see that?!". An unnatural silence is the best way to describe it.
As the years passed I lost contact with my friend. However, ever since then I have been having the same dream over and over again during my life. I've had it 5 times now since the sighting happened and it's always the same. Me and other people I do not recognize are in a similar street, it's in the middle of the night and you can smell the air after rain. All of us are waiting for something, and the same light appears but this time it is followed by over 10 others and they dance in the sky and form different shapes. It is so real that i can feel the cold air as I breathe in the dream. But for some reason, people start to panic slowly, idk why but I join them, and I run in the house and hide in my room and the whole house shakes and I wake up sweaty. I do not believe I was abducted or anything but i find the dream far more interesting than the actual sighting.
There are also no ufo networks in my country, no regular ufo hotspots, no significant ufo activity at all actually. The thing about the dream is that always at the same time of the year that the sighting happened there are a few days that match *exactly* with the conditions in the dream. Sure, every year has the end of summer, but this is different. It's like I am living that dream every year for a few hours. I walk around and smell the air after the rain, I see the very trees that are present in the dream, everything is the same except there are no people from the dream and no ufo lights. Sometimes, I really "hope" (not really, it's just my brain making connections with the dream) the lights come tonight. Idk.. Never been a ufo nut, or believed in abductions that much, but I am repeating myself ao I will stop here.
The thing is, even though it's a small country, and a quiet neighboorhod.. A lot of weird things seem to happen there even to this day. Things like shadow people walking around, extremely strange feelings a non-human presence when walking through some parts, etc. I still remember the chills I got when, while walking my dog, I heard some random kids speak about seeing black people walking in the trees in the woods nearby. Why? Pedophiles, murderers? No no. Those are very rare there. It's because when I was about 14-17 I could always see something like a black mass in a shape of a human walk by but not with peripheral vision, oh no. Right infront of me, like I could follow it with my eyes while fully focusing on it, with full attention. Idk, living and knowing those things are there.. changed me a lot in a way. Don't know how to explain it.
The movie IT very strongly resonates with me because it's like... The older folk always dissmis the stories told by the kids, but.. The kids aren't lying-there are very strange things going on. Literally every damn generation has some stories that are borderline paranormal, and every one of them sound so familiar.. I could probably write a couple more short stories about everything I have seen throughout my life there.
Hope someone reads this, amd maybe finds it interesting. Cheers comrades.
Reminded me of a "goblin discussion" I had as a teenager where one classmate mentioned an uncle-of-an-uncle who, in the 1920/30s/40s, kept a light in his bedroom because of "the black men who came into his house each night."
The story was that the light stopped them so it wasn't a violent hallucination.
Fascinating story. It’s like you’re having a Groundhog Day! By the way, your English is good... why, much better than some English speaking folk.
@@roviwoteap2375 Thanks! I've been learning it for some time 😄
Yeah, there are a lot of short stories I would like to write, but I'm afraid that ppl from here might find out who I am. Idk.. Throughout my life it's like I am a magnet for these kind of strange things. I've always been able to sence stuff, how other people feel just by glancing at them for instance.
Like I could see a deeper side to reality, and when I give in to that I start to notice weird stuff here and there, idk. It's like I'm opening my eyes in a different way if that makes sense 🤷♂️😂 It was *a lot* easier to do that when i was a kid, now.. It happens rarely.
Crazy thing is.. I sound like some new age nut, but actually I'm a Christian.
It's late and I'm too tired to write my experiences. Here's a thought for you, things don't happen for a reason but we can seek to find reason in the things that happen.
It was an ufo with ets
This is so strange. Only once has it happened to me but I woke up one night, looked at the end of my bed and saw a grey alien standing there looking at me. It was very short at about 3ft tall, it's head was huge and it looked almost exactly like the image however it had lots of wrinkles around it's eye, cheeks and forehead. No idea what the time was and my partner at the time was asleep next to me. Rather than panic which I would 100% do I just ignored it and layed back down to go to sleep. I then wake up with a realisation of what I saw and had a slight confused panic. The odd thing was that morning I left for work and instantly saw a black dot stationary in the clouds. No idea why I even looked up! I filmed it, video was terrible but had to continue to get to work. Since then I lost the video but to be honest you couldnt see much. For about 2 weeks after that I had a really bad stomach with diarhea and stomach aches. I also never had sleep paralysis until after that event and since then ive had it about 6 times. My last was a few months ago. I dreamt I was in bed and could see UFOs through the walls. Then one was at the window and with a flash an alien was suddenly in my room and it ran sideways next to my bed. At that I woke up with sleep paralysis laying on my side but couldn't see anything. Strange eh!
The first story by Xavier and the imagery shown gave me goosebumps!!!
That's exactly the type of figure I would see peeking behind my bedroom door as I lay in my bed as a child; the silhouette of a head and hands just looking at me.......(getting chills even as I type this)
I even had a similar experience with the bedroom wall being gone, just for me, it was a pure white door shape, not the entire wall and an entity passing through it.
If I was abducted, tested on or whatever, I don't want to know. I'm not ready for that.
Whoa, that has to be some weird feelings, regarding the dreams. I saw a UFO as a child- real close. It followed my family. I would wake up and feel pressure in my chest and a pressing need to get out afterwards. I would try to unlock the front door but wake my dad who put me back to bed. Strange.
When I was 13 years old, I remember waking up and not being able to move, I was watching a triangle go through my ceiling, after it left I could move, I was screaming, I went to bed with a nightie on, that was on the floor, I saw my dad naked as I was hysterical, he came running in to see what happened, he believed me. When I was about 5 I was terrified of coat hangers, they used to float around my room and terrorise me, recently read somebody else had the same experience with coat hangers and he was an experiencer, it makes me wonder, am I? I'm scared of the dark, I'm 42. I've seen and experienced some strange things. Always get head aches, my sinuses hurt all the time, wake between 1/3 every morning, body upright as I had to be awake but no memories of any dreams. I even contacted Terry Lovelace after reading his books about his abduction experiences, he's awesome.
I rarely have dreams. Actually I have dreams but always forget them within a minute of waking up. They seem to be gobbledygook for the most part anyway (if I do remember them). I don’t think ive ever had a true nightmare before.
This is literally the best channel on UA-cam. Thank you for your great work!
As for Xavier's experiences, although of course I only know them from this video, my guess is they could very well be 100% real. There are too many similar stories out there, many also with physical signs, for it to be just "imagination". And as for dreams and imagination, I think the opposition between "dreams" and "reality" is somewhat misguided. From my own experience I would say that, at least occasionally, the dream state can be a pathway to real experiences.
Dreams is our brains connecting to alternate dimension’s versions of our brains, and ‘remembering’ those experience our alternate dimension versions have. Reason our dreams can be so disjointed and nonsensical is because our brains keep constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to varies different alt dimensions , making it seem like our dreams are silly and nonsensical. Also in alt dimensions the laws of physics and social behavior can be different too…
Also, apparently psychics ‘see’ things with their ‘inner eye’ in the form of quick dreams that happen as they are awake.
Lmao nah
I'd say the Uma Thurman incident was simply that the substitute closely resembled the actress and was playing along with the class. This strikes me as a simple and plausible possibility given what you've shared. NOT "burning" you OR anyone elses stories you've shared, my expiation simply struck me an easy solution you may not have considered. Love your work....wish there were more uploads so i could binge for 8 hours! ;)
Still doesn’t’t make sense as to why all the other 8 year olds had seen the PG-13 batman movie. Maybe Luke’s parents were more strict then all the other parents when it came to movies?
@@crazysilly2914 I distinctly remember seeing that movie, and telling my aunt all about it. It was *HYPE* af. Awesome. But seems weird he didnt like Batman at all. But he had no tv, maybe no comics, nothing.
100% My immediate thought. She probably got a huge kick out of it. Who wouldn’t be flattered to be compared to a woman at the time who was listed on all the “hottest” and “most beautiful” lists.
I'm just depressed about being so old that I'm watching a channel run by an adult person who was eight when Uma Thurman played Poison Ivy in _Batman & Robin._ :)
@@crazysilly2914 they may not have seen the movie at that age but could have seen the movie poster at cinemas, movie advertised on TV, McDonalds had batman toys in the happy meal advertising it or saw it on a movie trailer when watching another movie. it also only takes one kid to start the whole class whispering
Man I've had nightmares were I'm waking up and seen a man standing in the space between my bedroom and the hallway. Is very scary, my respects to Xavier.
Memory is a strange thing. One of my childhood memories was being at the top of a chain link baseball backstop that I had been trying to climb since forever. The weird part of the memory was that my brother THREW me up there, which is not even remotely possible but I had accepted as fact for most of my life without a second thought.
What I like about these stories is that even if you’ve never experienced anything unexplained, you can still feel like you live in a Harry Potter movie or another fantasy story. Like there’s the possibility of magical things. They might be terrifying, but they signify unknown realms of mystery.
The story about the black shard and the man's knee definitely made my stomach quizzy. I have some friends that have similar stories about finding foreign objects in their body. Gives me the shivers.
Great episode and the trailer is very intriguing. Living in Murfreesboro Tennessee where one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war took place and where Stones River National Battlefield is located it is rife with stories all over the town. The battlefield proper is only a tiny portion of the actual battle. Franklin Tennessee just a few miles away is also the center of strange occurrences. Tennessee is only second to Virginia with the number of engagements during the civil war.
Guam is extremely haunted too.
I saw a spectral ragged looking IJA patrol one night. I even caught a whiff of rotting flesh before they faded away
I do believe we aren't alone in the universe, and as my recent story on this channel where I saw a bright unidentified object in the sky while on a plane shows I think "they" are here. I will be buying a copy of Xavier's book.
That was awesome how you overlayed the actual military UAP video on the jet fighters radar screen. Smooth 🤙
Never had an direct alien encounter, well out side of just seeing UFOs. The one weird thing I've ever had was that I've had little flashes of precognition. Mostly in dreams but one violent sudden hallucination experienced while driving that turned out to be the omen of a future health crisis. And possible a premonition of an upcoming war seen during treatment for said health crisis.
Two examples of the first thing was that once, as small child, I had a nightmare of being in school. In the dream one of my class mates bouncing a pence by the eraser and managed hit a fellow student in the eye with it. Some weeks later I suddenly found myself in the situation. I kind of flipped out and yelled at the kid with the pencil. Which preventing what I saw from happening. My yelling got the teachers attention and the other kid stopped bouncing the pencil like that.
Another example of this was a young man. One night I had a dream I was on the phone with my mother and reading a new story that said that one of my aunts had been arrest for embezzling money. Which was weird, since said aunt had ever been in trouble for anything. But maybe a month later I got a call from my mother to telling me that that aunt of mine had indeed been arrested for embezzling some money.
The final two experience I'll share here are kind of connected. This happened probably my senor year of high-school. Which was in 1999. I was just driving towards my grandparents home to do some yard work for them when, suddenly I got a flash of what felt like memory of seeing myself, outside of my body, looking at myself. But I saw myself in a hospital room, and I was connected to a fair amount of medical machinery. Something that had, at that time, never happened to me before. The vision only lasted for a moment but I almost lost control of my little pickup. After stoping the truck it took me a few minutes to calm down and started thinking about what I saw. I knew it was me that I saw, but I didn't look like myself. Specially, I seemed to be completely bald and had a full beard. Something that i had never had at that point in my life. After a moment i just shook it off and continued about my business.
Fast forward about 15 years... I find myself having issues with reading; figuring my eyes were just going a bit I scheduled an eye exam. That exam discovers that my eyes were fine... I just had a massive brain tumor that grew in place just so that it didn't cause any issues until it got really big. So about a week and a half later I found myself in the hospital with a completely shaved head... and a full beard, which was something I had been allowing to grow for the past few years. Oh, and FYI, the remove of the tumor was accomplishing successfully and I recovered well, way better than expected in fact.
Now I know this is getting long, so I'll finish up with this final thing. This is directly connected to my experience from brain surgery. During the lead up to the actual surgery one of the neurosurgeons that worked on me mentioned that you might have some weird incomprehensible dreams while you are under. The thing is... what I saw while i was under was one of the most clear dreams I had ever had in my life. And it was of a war... And a war on America's soil, so to speak. I couldn't tell you where it was or even when. And frankly, there's things that I felt in the dream that tells me it's a little ways off. Like.... a lot of the gear I saw in use wasn't stuff we have now. I felt like I could almost draw it after I woke up, if it weren't that I lost some right arm function immediately after the surgery. Got more 90% - 95% of it back after some therapy though. I've never been in the military, but I have some minor interest in military vehicles and weapons. Something told me that what they were using was stuff we don't have now. And the end of the day, this could have just been some dream. But the thing is... some argue you don't really dream much during brain surgery. But I sure saw something that day. Still haunts me a little bit to day. Even if all of this happened to me in '13.
Oddly enough as with many wartime stories recently I've been noticing many similarities between what's happening with me lately and the what's happeing in lukes stories directly or in directly as an odd example im listening to his part about the F-16 which reminds me of a possible a future episode ( i may consider emailing him about it ) that also involves me and an F-16. However to sum it all up as im listening about Xavier's dream im reminded of a similiar dream to yours and to this day its the most surreal dream ive ever had about the future
I have a theory that the only reason some people wake up during abductions is due to lack of experience on aliens parts
like in experienced alien abductions
it can even been seen in the story that at one point the aliens just take him and make it look like missing time. they slowly learned to abducte him
with that said
if my theory is in some way shape or form the amount of people that have been abducted could be WAAAAY up there
@@marcosgarcia8018 so they are either manipulating time or tricking humans into thinking they have manipulated time??
@@marcosgarcia8018 it's an interesting thought, that's for sure. Now that you got me thinking about something that happened to a relative that might be tangentially connected to what you're saying.
One of my relatives used to be into professional motor-cross. Dirt bikes and the like. He had a really bad crash with a very seriously dislocated shoulder. He was in so much pain that they couldn't really do much to east it. So they dosed him with enough drugs to just basically stop remembering the pain while they worked on him.
These aliens, assuming they're real (which I do), do have 'amnestics' drugs or technology but it's not perfect. Maybe they just don't work on some people and that's why people can still remember being tampered with.
Sure pal
I love the classroom SFX really helps with the immersion
Let's be honest here for a minute - even only dreaming about mid 90's era Uma Thurman should count as a win
In regards to your question about how to distinguish a dream from a really old childhood memory I've found that the only helpful way is to pay attention to how time flows in the action and compare it to what you remember people saying. Then compare the two. If they sync up then it was likely real. If the time it took to hear what people were saying was far longer than the time it took the action to take place, then it was likely just a very realistic dream.
I know it's not easy to distinguish an old childhood memory from a realistic dream from around the same time, and it took me 20 years to come up with a method that satisfied me. I hope this helps.
As a child I had dreams sporadicaly. They were mostly non-sensicle, disjointed images without narrative. Occasionaly they would be nightmares that would leave me screaming in the night but with no tangible image I could explain to my parents. Around the age of 7? (about 1962) I had the first of 3 distinct dreams that are different. All three dreams have a narrative. All three dreams are in vivid realistic color. All three dreams should qualify as nightmares, but un-like other nightmares I had as a child, I experience no fear at all while they are happening. DREAM 1: I am a boy of 10 or 11 and I am being chased by Gort from the movie "The Day the Earth Stood still. Silly I know. I'd watched the film for the first time a day or so earlier, but it is the first dream I ever recall as having any narrative and it has re-occured sporadicaly ever since. DREAM 2: In this dream I "come too" in a World War 2 fighter air craft flying over the ocean. The cowling I can see from the cockpit is dark blue. The enemy aircraft have red circles painted on their wings and fuselage. I know they are enemy because they are firing at me. This dream seldom lasts long, but it is a;ways incredibly vivid. DREAM 3: This is perhaps the scariest of my "repeaters", but only because I have a phobia of snakes. In it, I am a child running along the shore of an island. To on side is an endless ocean. From the other side is a jungle that extends almost to the water's edge. The trees are full of vines, hanging from the limbs and have exposed roots. They are scary because as am running the vines and roots morph into snakes. I am now 67 years old and I have experinced all three of these dreams at least once in the past five years. The repetivness alone makes me think they mean something, but I have no idea what.
Fantastic. This channel is going up and up. Thanks so much for the great stories. North London 🏴😎
Same here mte ( Hornsey N8 ) 😎🏴
Far as the alien encounters go, one night check out the books by Coral and Jim Lorenzen such as Abducted! (1986/77).
If I've had any such personally, they are buried quite deeply in my mind, and I suppose I'd just as soon as leave them there.
The one odd thing is I had an odd fear of butterflies of all things, and months. I eventually overcame this. I mention it because these grays are sometimes said to have insect-like eyes. I don't know what to make of it, that's for sure.
There was one time I remember when I was just a kid, probably about 3-5 years old. Despite it happening such a long time ago the memory still lingers in my mind vividly. I was laying in my bed asleep when suddenly this bright white light shines into my room, I look off to the side of my bed in it's direction to see this strange white figure standing next to me. It didn't have a visible face or any other features, just a head and shoulders. It looked as though it were made of pure light with these weird wavy lines coming off it. I panicked and quickly covered myself with my blanket trying to shield myself from it and almost as soon as I did so the light vanished and so did the figure. I was scared but being so young I quickly shook it off and fell back asleep thinking it some wierd dream or something.
Wow another new video from you guys, I seen your interview on another UA-cam channel awesome job 👍you guys are great I haven’t found a video from you guys that isn’t great work, thanks and please keep them coming
My experiences growing up is feeling of being taken out of my body like floating. I once felt like they tricked me by pretending to be my grandmother, once I figured out that it wasn’t her, I started to fighting and after awhile I was not easily tricked and they stopped coming so often.
I usually would find fresh blood on the bed sheets but never any injuries on myself. I am now having constant ringing in both ears and also hearing loss. I have also had numerous miscarriages and also a very high tolerance for alcohol and anesthesia, somehow I think it’s all related to these experiences.
Twice during the lockdown I was awoken to bright lights outside of my bedroom window. Both times I was too scared to wake my partner. I know that it was not a car because the lockdowns here were military and we were only allowed out on certain days and had a nightly curfews. It could have also been the police doing their checks, but I don’t see the need for them to use bright lights when no one was out, so it wasn’t like they were looking for anyone, the strangest part about it is that I felt so exhausted that I couldn’t stay awake for long after seeing the lights nor have the energy to get out of bed to look out of the window.
What country? That is fascistic that they used military to enforce lockdowns
I swear man you are the best don't stop with your channel this is freaking gold
So well spoken! Great video! ❤
Alien abduction with implants I wonder if he ever received any x-rays displaying hidden objects? These aliens have the habit of affecting the pineal gland (aka - the eye of Horus) affecting melatonin levels, which strangely enough produces DMT. As to the question are they real? They're real alright, and for some reason were their pet projects. Luke thanks for your hard work
I'm closing in on 50 and recently had my knees x-rayed and they found nothing but arthritis and water on the knee.
@@xavierkane2532 No the feeling
Great Show! I stumbled upon your channel and watched this episode, and felt compelled to write a comment. I served in the US Marines with 3D Bn 2nd Marines and experienced a strange event (along with several other Marines in my squad) over several nights leading up to our deployment (1997, Camp Lejeune). Also, the mention of the "Blue Light", I too saw this one night (prior to joining the Marines). Anyhow, ever since the experience(s) I have witnessed and photographed numerous photos of what can only be described as "UAP's" spanning over several years (during work, while hunting, walking the dog, across states, etc.) Again, Great show, Thank you for putting work into this subject, and stay Moto, OORAH!
Thank you for providing a place for us to share the experiences
This is very well done. Those who have experienced this will understand, those who haven't likely won't, but I am glad someone is listening.
I have had a very similar experience as a kid. On a farm, also in Missouri. I explained to MUFON that I thought initially it was a shadow being. ALL ALONG IT WAS AN ALIEN, MY WORST FEAR!
Thank you …these are the Grey bastards that hurt me from 1970 -75…not the friendly aliens that so many seem to think…
If you're up for it, I'd really like to know your experiences and perspective regarding them.
I have a few strange memories of childhood. Specifically when I was 8 or 9, I would have reocurring really, really intense dreams that involved being taken by Beings against my will. I'd try to get away but they would always take me and the moment they reached me I'd wake up. Usually feeling very anxious, it was real weird.
Sounds like something of the spiritual real vs. physical realm. Dreams are insights into the spiritual realm. Maybe these spirit beings were trying to ‘take’ your soul in order to possess you. but maybe, if you were baptized, that protected you from them? Regardless, you were able to wake up which prevented them
The wartime stories movie poster in the first story was a nice touch for the observant.
Edit: The being unsure of whether you're awake or not has to be one of the most unsettling things a person can experience in daily life. It's only ever happened to me ONCE, and I'd be quite happy if it never happened again.
I was working for my grandfather at the time, installing sprinklers. he had a pull out Murphy-bed sort of couch, and I was out cold on that. I woke up with the need to take a leak.I could hear the TV going and him snoring away something fierce, so I guessed it was late though not sure exactly what time. I get up, walk down the hall to the back of the trailer from the living room, and take a left to go into the bathroom. His room being on the very end and the bathroom just short of that.
I do my business just fine. But then as I turn around, I see a woman I didn't recognize behind me just off to my right like she'd just walked in. I turned my head a bit and saw that she was in the mirror, but wasn't actually in the room. All she said was 'hello dear'. I naturally shrieked like a little bitch, and ran outside into the Ohio night in my freaking boxers. Grandpa woke up at some point, and when I half-blubbered out what had scared me half-to-death, he just muttered something about it being a dream and went back to bed. I don't think he ever woke fully, because he didn't recall it the next day.
For years after, I had this recurring nightmare of sorts involving her and a little one-room white church. Always raining, always at night, and I walk in through the doors and see her by the alter. Usually ends badly. Fortunately, that stopped when I turned 20 or so.
Two "anomalous" dreams for me - out of the ordinary or just unexplained.
The first one - I'm about four years old, it's May 24. It's night and I'm acting silly. We have people over, our house is used for the May 24 party.
I press my face against the arm of the couch and seem to instantly pass out - I see streams of blue like the shape of neurons for subjective moment or so.
I immediately wake up - my subconsciousness telling me that no time has passed, but lying in bed with the sun coming up telling me that time did pass.
The second one - I'm around eight years old, it's a school night like any other. I decide this night to sleep with my arm hanging off the side of my bed.
The hand hanging off the edge of my bed tickled my face, I chuckle, but blanche when I realise that the hand is not under my control.
I come to. I have zero way to determine if that was real or an odd vision.
If it was real, it was momentary Alien Hand Syndrome - where the affected hand acts autonomously.
Hmm, interesting. Kind of reminds of of what used to happen to me too.
I would have those weird dreams once every three to six months.
And in those dreams, I would be waken up in the middle of the night, because I felt something climb onto my bed behind me. Every time, it was the same, I'd wake up, see it's pitch-black in my room, and realize I can't move. This thing on my bed would then start ever so slowly make its way towards me... As my eyes would get adjusted to the dark, I could see it's really my room, as it how it is in real life. Not some weird place I "recognize" as my room, like how dreams sometimes are, but it's really my room. And I would feel the mattress compress under the weight of this thing as it slowly kept approaching me, up to the point where I could actually feel its breath in the nape of my neck. And then I would wake up.
I was wondering if it was simply sleep paralysis, but I had it once and it was a completely different experience. Also, keep in mind that in those dreams, something would wake me up first, and not the other way around like how sleep paralysis works...
Also, note that I said "used to". Well, that's a bit of a long story... See, about two years ago, my old dog died. He was getting old and sick and weak, and in order to avoid him just slowly wasting away, I had to put him down. I owed it to him to allow him to go with some dignity. One of the hardest moments of my life... Well, anyways, two weeks after I had to put him down, I'm woken up by something climbing onto my bad again. But this time, it's at the foot of my bed. Of course, my first thought was "here we go again", but then I realized it was day as there was some light in my room. As I'm wondering if I'm going to start having those weird dreams in the day as well, I look around a bit while still laying in my bed, and finally come to the realization that I was not paralyzed this time around. I decided to get up and finally have a good look at what what haunting me in my dreams like that, to confront it, but to my surprise when I got up, it was my dog waiting for me, wagging its tail and just being so happy to see me again. I immediately embraced him and cried that morning, but those were tears of joy. Well, anyways, I've never had this dream since. Now I know this will sound weird, but I believe my old dog is protecting me from whatever those dreams were... It certainly feels that way, at least.
But the thing that strikes me in all this, is that just like the person recounting the story in this video, I too am an only child... I wonder if perhaps, there might not be some sort of connection.
Patiently waited for this. Sometimes this has happened to me, but not exactly this way, but similar.
My son and I watch your videos, they're very good. We've been watching Bedtime Stories since the beginning. Anyway, my son, he's an adult, was freaked by this story. He couldn't sleep that night. He wouldn't talk about it or watch it again. I finally remembered it, and made sure I had the right one. He wouldn't even look at the name, just said that's it. I enjoyed it, I wasn't scared at all. I'm going to read Xavier's book. Thanks for all the great stories. I believe all these things happen to people. I see shadows and sometimes a ghost or two. I just don't talk about it.
It may have struck a repressed memory of something he's not ready to acknowledge or talk about. It wouldn't surprise me if this could be the case for such a visceral reaction.
I know from my own experience, this story, the visuals... hell, the very intro of the child terrified, and sobbing IMMEDIATELY brought up repressed memories of trauma I have from similar experiences that I can't fully remember or understand, let alone reconcile.
I don't scare easily, from either real physical danger or scary stories. But THIS story hits something deep down in my mind that terrifies me, and almost reminds me of something I can't quite remember, and it feels like my body is shaking down to the cellular level from the very beginning, and almost a half hour after having listened to it, it's just now starting to subside.
In a non confrontational way, you might want to ask your son if there's something about the story that hits a little close to home, and let him know you're there for him and won't judge him if he has anything he wants to share.
I WISH my mom would've been this open about these kind of topics growing up, she had to rationalize everything through the lens of the King James Bible, and anything that didn't fit in that box was demonic and blasphemous. The crazy woman burned my Wolverine action figure and hand me down comic books while I was at school, and she "felt the evil coming out of them as they burned". So when I had started seeing ghosts, telling her details they told me about secrets I would have no way of knowing, had premonitions and visions about things happening beforehand, told her about a shadow man walking down my hallway and standing in my doorway staring at me with a feeling of hatred, etc, etc, etc, etc...I experienced too much to share here. The point being, that my mother acted like it was MY FAULT I was seeing these things, like I was somehow evil, and considering how young I was when this started happening (full blown premonitions and medium events at 7-8 years old), it made me feel like I was a monster, for something that I had no control over and had never wanted in the 1st place.
Sorry for ranting, hope your relationship with your son doesn't end up like mine has with my mother and I. We don't talk anymore outside of forced family function interactions.
The first story, with all the parts about waking up with lights in the room, feeling held down, something on you, is similar to my experiences.
Not tied to Aliens. Just paranormal stuff.
right? i was listening while doing stuff but when it began to align with my experiences i had to stop and just listen in silence
Typical sleep paralysis thing
Not my story, neither of us are from the US or military, but my husband has some pretty bizarre stories from when he used to visit the country side on his childhood and teen years with his dad. To a lesser degree, I've had one or two small experiences. So, listening to these stories is captivating to me, to say the least.
When I was maybe ten, I experienced something that I had long rationalized as having fallen asleep with my eyes open. In the dark of night, before my bed a group of red silhouettes appeared with angular heads. It was after that that I believed my eyes had simply closed and the dream ended. If I was ten, then that would have been in 2002. It is now 2022 and I'll be turning thirty in September, hard to believe as that is with me barely looking a day over eighteen. The reason I bring up the current year is that I tend to watch Twitch streamers in the evening. At the stream of this one guy whom I watch regularly, we were talking about creepy things we had seen. One person brought up having seen a big-headed alien standing in his doorway, another had brought up seeing a raven-headed griffin outside her window, though I wonder if she had been screwing with us. Then I brought up what I had rationalized as me having fallen asleep with my eyes open, those red silhouettes, and the streamer told me and everyone else watching of how he had had a similar incident in his childhood where he had seen a glowing green geometric face staring down at him while he slept in his parents' bed, the face staring down over his dad's shoulder. He proceeded to close his his eyes and hide his face. He told me he had never been able to rationalize it and looking back, I'm not sure if my rationalization holds up. I never saw those red silhouettes again and he never saw that green face again, so I am only left to wonder if we didn't dream these things, then what did we see?
I'm going to buy the book - sounds like it's something I'd like. I've been watching the Smoke Pit videos for a few days now, and I love the format, and the sense of haunt, uneasiness, and outright weirdness that the voiceover has. Good stuff. I had nosebleeds and severe earaches when I was a kid, but I never outright had any of these experiences - at least that I know of. There are several marks on my body I can't account for. Other members of my family have had experiences of a more overt nature. Thanks for posting these!
Due to work and other required appointments, I am a couple of days late getting to watch this episode, but its been another great one. I love getting to hear other peoples experiences, regardless of the circumstance, and Xavier's was extremely interesting. I will say, hearing you tell the story and the accompanying visuals made this one extremely spooky and suspenseful. Can't wait for the next installment, be it the smoke pit or another story, I'm never disappointed with the content you post.
Xavier wasn’t dreaming and I noticed that one of his encounters was after 3 AM (the Witching hour). I hope these unwanted encounters don’t transcend to his Son, as some of these experiences have been known to follow other family members generationally. Everyone thinks these are dreams or overactive imaginations until it happens to them….
It seems to happen to people with a German ,Irish and Cherokee ancestry.
I can't remember which book I read that had that information in it, but it stuck in my mind.
@@truthseeker2321 Very interesting. Thank You for sharing your insight.
@@truthseeker2321 i have also heard it is also blood type related as well.
@@chadjohnson6229 You're welcome!
@@ecnayonnAI never heard that one, but I wouldn't doubt it.
hmm yeah as a person who had a terrible childhood phobia of grey aliens visiting me in the night.... that image of the grey at the foot of the bed made me so scared for a second my toes went numb 😆
I lived and worked in Silicon valley for many years and when I first moved there in 1997 I moved into a huge but empty new apartment building. Shortly thereafter I had the same experience of hands holding me down on my futon in the early morning hours. I was clearly awake, but could not move, and was paralyzed and tried to scream but couldn’t. I also couldn’t open my eyes. It was as if someone was leaning on the side of my arm with their hands holding me down. I was finally able to scream and when I did it all stopped. A few other times the lights would come on in the apartment for no reason and the TV would come on at full volume for no reason in the middle of the night. I would also often hear footsteps outside the window on the sidewalk at 3AM but would never see anyone. All of this is true.
Love this channel. And this was a really good episode. My jaw almost hit the floor with the story about feeling a presence in your bedroom at night, and it being so terrifying that he started sleeping with the light on. I had a very similar experience almost 20 years ago. I was 22 at the time, and it scared me so much I slept with the light on for over a month. Weird thing is it didn't happen again, till 2 years ago. And now it happens at least once a month, along with the feeling that I'm not alone, or that I'm being watched or observed. I get that feeling and on goes my light. It was almost exact to how I would describe my experiences.
Every time it happens pray to Jesus/God and it will go away. If you need some help talk to a priest or pastor. Remember, God has dominion over all things physical and spiritual.
Sometimes I get that feeling too slightly. But I always say a quick prayer, and the feeling passes as quickly as it came. I have not lost any sleep over anything.
@@crazysilly2914like fucking hell it will! Don't lie to people, I had very strong conviction as a child and I would pray and pray WHILE paranormal events were taking place. They didn't stop. Usually the event got WORSE, not better. One time in my early teens we had a bad event take place with my mom home, we were watching TV late, the TV started flickering (not the channel tuning, but the actual power to the display), then the lights flickered and dimmed, cupboard doors quietly opened and then slammed shut, etc. My mom started praying and rebuking it in God's name, right then I heard a high pitched scream/squeal that was so intense in frequency I heard it inside my ears through my hands clasped tightly over them, and I had intense pain shooting through my head, unlike any headache I've had then or since. I never saw prayer have any influence other than negative, so don't just make such statements with such an undeserving tone of authority.
@@d3ltaohniner261 but they didn’t kill you, did they? Those seem like particularly evil and powerful spirits, since they got even more angered when you called on the Lord. (and if God doesn’t exist, why did they care so much when you prayed?) When you rebuke them, you cannot have any fear. they feed on fear. The only way for it to work is if you let go of fear and have the knowledge that God will always protect you no matter how bad things may get. Otherwise it is a futile cause. And I understand this may be a tall order and easier-said-than-done. Heck, I may even freeze up in pure fear if something similar where to happen to me. So you really need to see an exorcist, since they are trained for this.
@@d3ltaohniner261 I just sent you a reply, but it looks like it got immediately deleted. I don’t know if you can see it. Basically, it was saying that you can’t have any fear when dealing with these creatures because they feed off of fear. rebuking them in the name of God will only work if you have the knowledge that God will keep you safe no matter how bad things may seem. So you can’t be afraid . And understand this is a tall order, so get an excorsit since they are trained for this.
Or you could try reciting the 99 names of God
This story sure gave me the creeps instantly... at least he's doing well, especially in flying military planes and all that.
If lucky, he might end up pursuing one of the craft that housed his tormenters. Bonus if he actually shot one of them down successfully, albeit with the following cover-up sorta ruining the moment.
Yes, here's hoping they're just being Jane Goodall beings, *not* something so sinister I can't even imagine.
The channel should be taking off like crazy by now
I can relate to Xavier in regards to the nosebleeds but there's usually a more mundane cause for mine such as this horrible scab on the inside of my right nostril and sometimes blood gushes out so much that I end up resembling a zombie
A very similar thing happened to me a few years back.. A blue orb of light appeared at the end of my bed. I was paralyzed. I was able to move my eyes but nothing more. Lucky for me I was able to see my bedside alarm clock which glowed a red LED at the corner of my eye, it read 3:33am. I felt pure dread and fear at the time. The orb didn't move, but I could feel it's presence, I felt as though I was being watched, the same feeling you feel when you think someone is in the room with you. I knew nothing else except that I had to get out of there. I was terrified. I was able to break the spell of paralysis by focusing all my energy into my right index finger and moving it just a little bit. I slumped back down on my bed as if I was lifted ever so slightly off my bed during the paralysis. That struggle though made me so exhausted that I passed out immediately after. I woke up and thought it was just a strange dream that felt real. I heard about sleep paralysis before but never encountered it and thought to myself "well, I guess now I know" and went on with my day. It was only after I was at a new year's eve house party later that day that I overheard someone telling the exact same story to a group of people. I heard "blue orb" and rushed over to the guy telling the story. I asked him "what's this about a blue orb?" And although he didn't know who I was he continued as if he was glad someone was as interested in the phenomenon as he was. He said "A blue orb was hovering over the end of his bed last night and he was paralyzed". I asked him "Did you check what time it was?" And he said "yeah, it was 3:30 something". I asked where he was living, maybe it was happening to everyone in the same town/suburb/street who knows. He was 1.5 hours away from my location. This happened in Sydney Australia. I believe there are many more out there that shared the same experience on the same night at the same time. Why would this happen on this night? Was it supernatural? If so, can the supernatural co-ordinate multiple sleep paralysis events at the same time and why? Or was this something more intelligent? And if so, what was its purpose and ramifications on those who were picked?
Yes sleep paralysis demons can coordinate and effect multiple people. It's not uncommon for people in the same house or area to experience similar things on the same nights or same general timeframes. As far as your personal experience, what they were doing and why is anyone's guess. But they are demons and are definitely intelligent coordinated scheming little assholes.
I 1000% need that book! Thanks for the info and all the awesome stories.
Memory regression therapy can help a lot! It’s helped me understand why I have always had an unnatural fear of grays, to the point I tear up and cannot look at an image of one say on TV.
This fear has been there since I was about 12 and I cannot remember anything past 10 years old, well until more recently.
I have been using regression therapy to try and figure out what my mind is blocking and this is what I’ve come to remember:
I was 11, on my grandpas farm in Missouri. I slept in the upstairs bedroom and I remember looking out the window out over the wheat fields and I see a bright light moving slowly over the field, about 5 ft about the wheat stalks.
All of a sudden it’s in front of the window in looking out of, a bright light fills the room and then I woke up the next morning and that’s when this unnatural fear of terror begin regarding grays.
We have not been able to get past the bright light at the window but I think many of us can figure out what happened next and why this fear is ingrained in my mind…
This occurrence happened the day after myself and 3 friends saw a UFO rotate 180 degrees and shoot straight up into the air and disappearing from sight.
It was a metallic craft and was under two clouds stacked ontop off one another, separated by maybe 100 Ft of space. The ufo appeared to be a 3rd cloud but it looked wrong, partly reflective is the only way to describe it.
Well as we were watching this strange cloud, it rotated and then shot straight up, though the other 2 clouds and disappeared.
These ETs have been here from the very start, we are their creations if the ancient stories are to be believed.
Great stories and a great channel!!!! Worth the wait!
I've had a surfeit of strange experiences having to do with synchronicity, apparent telepathy, and what most people would interpret as ghosts, but only one that might have been "aliens" - and I'm not sure that one wasn't a dream. Still, two of my weirdest experiences were multi-witness, so I'm absolutely certain they happened. What do I think? I think reality is stranger than our best scientists imagine and that it probably touches other realities. I don't go any further than that.
Tell us about these multi-witness experiences, if you don't mind.
Please tell us more...
Inquiring minds want to know!
ALSO, the Wartime Stories poster on the bedroom wall was a nice touch. 😉
The closest thing to a paranormal experience I had as a kid was one day when i fell down a flight of wooden steps ending in concrete. It was Friday the 13th which was probably a coincidence but whatever. No idea how I fell down the steps. I was maybe like 6 years old but I knew better. I explicitly remember thinking about how badly it would suck to fall down them. I was nowhere near them because of that. And then just like that: i was falling down the steps. Could've sworn I felt a push. The fall felt like slow motion so honestly that part is true. How shit like that happens so slowly. Felt every step and kept thinking the entire way down "am I really doing this right now?". After I hit the bottom two concrete steps with my head I looked up for whoever pushed me. Nobody. Only myself, my sister and mom home. We were about to head for groceries before this happened so I was waiting outside. Nobody pushed me that I could see. I walked back up with blood dripping down my face onto the steps (still there) and ended up with stitches in the ER. Probably could've died.
Other than that I've had a few instances of sleep paralysis before. The worst one was when I was convinced a demon was on my chest and was ripping away at it with sharp claws. I tried to scream but couldn't. When the paralysis lifted I screamed HELP as loud as I could at like 2am at night. Funnily enough somehow nobody heard me so for the longest time I believed it was a dream until I learned years later about sleep paralysis. Shit really shook me up as a kid. I was already sufficiently scared enough at the time of religious propaganda like hell and shit. That was the last thing i needed.
I can personally identify especially with the later half of your contribution. I NEVER watched scary or horror movies as a kid. I didn't do sleepovers at other kids houses, those movies weren't allowed or available in my house. So when I started having nightmares of demonic entities flaying me alive, ripping my skin apart, it was literally out of nowhere. One that was so vivid that still haunts me even though I haven't had it since, was when I was no older than 7 years old, I had a nightmare that I was strapped on a table, surrounded by demonic figures laughing at me, as a giant screw slowly came up through a hole in the table right at my midsection, boring and ripping through me. The pain was off the charts, I was screaming. When I woke up, I was not only paralyzed, my poofy GI Joe sleeping bag that was doubling as my blanket was mashed flat against me, as if pressed down by an invisible force, I still felt the pain of being ripped in half, and I could hear evil laughter in my ears, as the pressure kept me from being able to scream or take in a breath. Right before blacking out, I felt the presence of my late grandfather (he died when I was 2 or 3), and felt like a rush of warmth pushing the chill and the evil presence away. I did my best not to sleep in my bed for as long as possible after that until my parents made me. Had a lot of other weird things happen, but thankfully THAT particular thing never occurred again.
Great stories. Another outstanding episode both in content and presentation. Looking forward to the next ones.
I love sticking around through the credits to hear the casual conversations, surely your classmates would remember and could verify if Uma Thurman actually subbed your class lol
Xavier's stories hit a bit too close to home for me and were hard to watch. I've had "dreams" like that and missing time segments going back to my childhood. To the point that thinking of those "dreams" or trying to remember more about them or the missing time segments feels me with a level of anxiety and fear that is hard to describe.
Being abducted isn't fun is it especially when it's demons doing it
The same. Not much scares me, but this segment struck a nerve, and even though I finished watching it quite a while ago and have just been reading comments, I still feel very unsettled by it. It's stirred up some memories I had buried pretty deep down and I'm not too thrilled about remembering them.
I had the same experience as a young child and pretty regular sleep paralysis coupled with watching myself conversate in unknown languages with unknown beings. Honestly I don't try to analyze it that seems to scare me, I just leave it as what it is...something that happens I can't explain. Neither good nor bad it just is....whatever the reality is I can't be sure and I don't think im suppose to. Like the shark my place is just to do my thing.
i have a very distinct memory of waking up outside of my house in the yard when i was a kid.
I really love this channel!! Thank you for your hard work, your content is amazing 👍😁
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you telling this story... With all honesty, i've had a simula situation,,, Myself and a good friend that I call brother when on a hunting trip.. Something happened to both of us on that trip. Neither one of us ever wanted to talk about it. But both of us suffered with headaches, I still myself supple headaches. He has since passed, Even his death is mysterious to all of us.. I actually got chills when you talked about the Blood on the pillow and bloody nose incidents, As well as missing time.. At least I know i'm not alone.. This is the first time i've ever said anything about this..
Xavier needs to read Dr Karla Turner's books on the abduction phenomena. "Into The Fringe" and "Taken". He might find his experiences are quite common to other abductees.
love your vids, keep up the good work!
Hell yeah been waiting for another one of these!
This guy's voice makes me feel like Don Draper is reading these stories to me and I know that the actor's name is John Hamm but just the way this guy talks it really does feel like Don Draper from Mad Men is telling these stories to me and that's pretty awesome.
Reminds me of Rod Sterling from the Twilight Zone.
Lol, thanks guys.
Dude love your stories and channel God Bless
I feel bad for anyone who gets messed with like that. I'm glad he writes to deal with it. Great video.
This was a great video. Thanks for posting
