Lon Strickler seems beset lately by emails from the Mount Vernon area describing encounters with tall, thin, hairless humanoids with black eyes. And while some of the witnesses describe no sense of threat whatsoever, others feel a deep sense of malice or dread. For example, a Tall Smelly Humanoid Encountered in Scotland left the witness, […]

Elliott Lake is known in Ontario as an idyllic retirement community with a low cost of living and affordable real estate. Thanks to Lon Stricker’s recent post, we now know why. It seems the locals–the hairiest, loudest, scariest ones–aren’t very welcoming. (And we thought grumpy neighbors would be our biggest concern.) In case you think […]

Brent Swancer, one of the best resources for Japanese crypto-info, goes down the list of Japan’s creepiest critters. We don’t mind saying the whole read left us a bit squeamish and totally understanding how the monster genre for which Japan is so well known got started. Truth is always stranger than fiction. For example, his […]

Lon Strickler posts the first of a three-part series by Dr. Raymond A. (Cosmic Ray) Keller. Ray’s implying that some of the astonishingly large number of persons who go missing in the U.S. each year have extraterrestrial destinations, or at least associates. Whether the specific cases of Granger Taylor and the crew of an armed […]

A 35-year-old mid-Michigan abduction is recalled by the witness, and it indeed does tie into other types of reports. Strange encounters, black Cadillacs, and a discovery “that the MIB were turning people into evil, mindless zombies” would become part of John Keel’s memories of the New York State contactees in Special Cases–The Long Island File […]

Lon Strickler has a case that’s strange even by Phantoms & Monsters standards. The author’s automatic acceptance of the beings she reports as extraterrestrials is of course interesting in itself, while the nature of the report, with entity after entity seemingly more physically strange or oddly acting, seems dreamlike or hallucinatory. It’s not necessary to […]

As always, Lon Strickler provides the best tales to tickle anyone’s fancy. What happens when you mix Bigfoot and Tall Nordics together? Let’s just say Agents J and K are given a run for their money as far as Kirk Sigurdson is concerned. Good thing Kirk didn’t encounter a Scottish wildcat known as The Beast […]

This story sounds like a blend of urban legend and internet meme, which means it’s scarier than heck. We’re really really hoping the guys who wrote in to Lon were using some unauthorized pharmaceuticals because we’re not feeling great about a world where That Thing exists. Next we have A Supernatural Snake in the Dead […]

Lon Strickler brings us this report that dates back to 1975 about a scout troop, a dark night in the woods, and plenty of sound effects to keep it interesting. Our only question is why the scout leaders waited until morning to book it out of there–there were kids with them for heaven’s sake. More […]

Lon Stricker shares a report from one of his readers straight out of the book of weird. It includes a veritable (and inexplicable) fortress and nondescript cars driven by terrifying nondescript “people” exuding thinly veiled malice. (Makes us want to find the place ourselves.) But if heavily armed bunker-like facilities are not to your liking, […]
