'It was unnecessarily violent and vicious'

'I’m only doing it if I get to do everything'

Trump's concluding remarks said it all

'I believe we'll get there'

'My husband of 30 years was one of them'

I received the following information from Jon Wyatt, a blog contributor and reader from Melbourne, Australia. I don't believe I had been aware of this account previously:"Hi, Lon. I noticed this story in an 1889 Australian digitalised newspaper and thought you may be interested. It was reprinted from a contemporary American publication.The report describes how several people saw a phantom plowman and two fiery horses in a field near Lower Merion, Pa, in March 1886. The apparition manifested for 2-3 nights and left behind a neatly plowed area.Lower Merion is an old town first settled by Welsh immigrants in the 1690s, as the phantom was not recognised it possibly came from the 1700s.The legend is mentioned in the book Unnatural Phenomena: A Guide to the Bizarre Wonders of North America by Jerome Clark and John Clark.I wonder how many laws of physics were violated at Lower Merion. Are you aware of a haunting where so much supernatural evidence was left?"Regards,Jon WyattMelbourne, Australia-----A PHANTOM PLOUGHMANIn the north-western corner of Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pa., a great hubbub has been raised by a phantom farmer who is nightly seen plowing in a field. The apparition was discovered about the end of March [1886] by a farm hand returning from courting. Emerging from a wooded pathway that skirted an old forest for miles, this rustic was startled to hear a sepulchral voice commanding a team to halt. He looked in vain about the place for a moment or two and was about to move on again when the same sound fell on his ear. A shiver crept over him as he heard the croaking of an unseen harness, and his terror was far from being allayed by the whinny of a horse almost directly before him. At that moment the new moon stole over the neighbouring treetops, and in its misty light, he plainly saw the phantom farmer. It was clearly outlined against the dark background, and its two hands held in a steady grasp the projecting handles of a plough. Before it marched a pair of spirited horses, dimly outlined in the misty light, their heads erect and their eyes flashing fire as they moved hastily along. The young man waited another moment to reassure himself and was about to take to his heels when ploughman, horse, and plough suddenly vanished. Then he, too, fled in wild alarm.SEEN BY SEVEN MENAt Silas Brown's corner grocery on the night succeeding this, the young man, Albert Cooper, by name, told this startling story. The crowd adjourned to the alleged scene of the ghost's operations to verify or disprove Cooper's tale. They had not long to wait. Without the noises that had warned Cooper the night before, the phantom farmer appeared before the eyes of the seven men who sat upon the fence, or, to be more accurate, who almost fell from it in terror. His long white hair and beard streamed in the passing wind. No hat was upon his head, nor could any portion of his face be soon except the glistening eyes. These shot out from a height of more than seven feet from the ground, indicating the spectral granger was taller than the average of humankind. About his body, which could not well be traced, there was a phosphorescent glow that dazzled the eyes of the terrified spectators and shone far ahead of the steadily moving hones. The plough he leaned on seemed of skeleton frame, but it tossed off the soft, moist earth as easily as a steamer turns the river waves. On he came, the horses seeming to exhale fire, their heads erect and arching, and footfall as firm and clear as any the watchers ever heard. At the corner of the field, they turned obediently at a word from their spectral driver and again passed before the affrighted spectators, who thereupon fled in haste.THE FIELD PLOUGHED BY THE GHOSTOn the following morning, a crowd of rustics determined to go to the field and see whether any trace of the farmer could be found. As they came in sight of the enclosure one of the numbers exclaimed in astonishment: 'I'll be durned if the thing doesn't plough, sure enough.' He was right. One-half of the field had been gone over evidently by no novice. The furrows were not quite so broad as those made by an ordinary ploughman. but they were less ragged and more deep and were as straight as the most experienced eye could make them. A day or two after the same group went out to view the fields again, and this time they found that the phantom had finished the work. The owner of the field was one of the number, and he took a solemn oath that he had not turned a sod in the enclosure.Source: The Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal, NSW, Australia, August 17, 1889, p5Ghosts and Haunted Places of Pennsylvania: Paranormal Case Files and Haunted Places SeriesBig Book of Pennsylvania Ghost Stories, The (Big Book of Ghost Stories)The Paranormal: Who Believes, Why They Believe, and Why It MattersGhost Hunting in Central Pennsylvania: True case studies from the founder of the Central Pennsylvania Paranormal Society**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

The following article was printed in 1890 in the 'The Fortnightly Review.' It gives an insight into the supernatural upright canine beliefs in Portugal at the time:Gloomy Traditional Beliefs Existing Among the Peasants of PortugalThe most somber of the traditionary beliefs in rural Portugal certainly go back to far beyond the time of the Moors, beyond even the period of the entry into the peninsula of the nations from Central Europe. The wehr-wolf legend comes from Roman times. The term for the man-wolf in Portuguese is lobis-homem, hardly a change from the Latin lupus-homo, though it is more than likely that in substance if not in form the lycanthropic myth is far older than the Roman nation itself.The legend of a human being assuming a wolf's shape is certainly one of the most generally diffused through the world. It takes many forms in Portugal. A common belief is that when there are seven children of the same parents, one, either son or daughter, is fated before the age of puberty arrives to turn into a corredor -- a night-ranger -- that is, to become that which is preliminary to being a true wehr-wolf, or lobis-homem. The corredor need not necessarily assume a wolf's shape; indeed, he often takes that of a hare, a wildcat or a fox, but of nights he must put on the likeness of one of those animals and range through woods and desert places.The corredor by all I can learn harms no one but himself, and is unconscious of his nightly wanderings as soon as he returns to his human shape and right senses, but he is always to be recognized by excessive leanness, wild eyes, and a pale and haggard face. The corredor steals from his bed, and climbing the highest tree in the neighborhood, strips to the skin and hides his clothes in the branches; then descending naked to the ground, he is instantly transformed into bestial shape, with all the habits belonging to the beast whose form he has put on. He is endowed with supernatural speed and can outstrip man and all other animals.The child with this fate to undergo passes a novitiate of seven years as a corredor, and then unless the spell is broken he turns into a true lobis-homem, a versi-pellis, a wolf man or a wolf woman. The female of this terrible human wild beast is known as lobeira. Male or female, it is a fierce creature, with appetites exaggerating those of the wolf it resembles, and whose strength and swiftness are greater than those of the wolf. The creature is now no longer harmless, but leaps upon and preys on other animals, and its special delight is in the slaughter and devouring of children.When once the change into the true lobis-homem or lobeira has taken place I understand that the wolf man or woman can never again be reclaimed into the ranks of our common humanity, but the spell upon a corredor can be broken. It needs but for its clothes to be found and burned, or for blood to be drawn from its body while in the form of the beast; then the spell is broken, the animal returns into human shape-- walking amazed as if from a sleep-walking dream and recovering the reversion of the human soul, of which the true lobis-homem must inevitably forfeit the tenure.Tales are many where a particularly savage wolf, being sorely wounded by a peasant in a midnight fray, has yet escaped by a seeming miracle. The next morning the unsuspected brother or sister of the peasant himself is seen with a wound of identically the same nature, and so has proved to be nothing less than a foul lobis-homem or lobeira.The Werewolf in Lore and Legend (Dover Occult)Real Vampires, Night Stalkers and Creatures from the DarksideThere's Something in the WoodsReel Terror: The Scary, Bloody, Gory, Hundred-Year History of Classic Horror Films**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A couple are spending time in Atlantic City, NJ. Later, very early in the morning, the man goes out to retrieve items from the car. He encounters something that he will never forget!I received the following account:"I just need to tell someone about this. Back in September 2016, my girlfriend and I were staying at a hotel in Atlantic City. It wasn't a large hotel/casino, but it was a nice place regardless. It was early Saturday morning. We were awake and hosting another couple from Phildelphia, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company. Well, at about 2:00 AM, we realized that we were out of beer and we really didn't feel like calling it a night. My girlfriend told me that there were a couple of bottles of sparkling wine in the trunk of the car. So she tossed me the keys and I made my way out to where the car was parked. The parking wasn't very convenient at this hotel, so we had ended up parking in a spot off on a side street over a block away.I could hear the noises coming from a club down the street. But as I walked to the car, I found myself feeling unusually alone. I turned down the street to where the car was parked. The air was very heavy, misty with drizzling rain, and the streetlamps reflected on the wet sidewalk. As I reached the car and unlocked the trunk, I heard this voice call out. "Sir?" I was very startled, and I quickly turned around to a teen boy who was gazing at me from just a few feet away. I was really unnerved, and I jumped back and said something like, "Man, you scared the sh*t out of me." This boy just kept looking at me unfazed. He appeared to be 16 or so, wearing old faded jeans and a dark hoodie sweatshirt. Then I noticed that his eyes reflected the light from the streetlamp and were completely black! I thought that he may have been on drugs, causing his eyes to dilate. But he didn’t seem to be high, and appeared calm and sober. Regardless, I was totally alarmed by this encounter. He then said, "I’m lost and tired. Could you give me a ride to my mom’s house?" But this kid didn’t look tired or worried at all. It was almost like a predator leering at it's prey and I was beginning to feel fear. He started to move closer to me. I immediately broke eye contact from the boy. It wasn't easy to do. His eyes were compelling, as the deep cold blackness sought my attention. I sensed a venerable energy trying to control me. I backed off, and stepped up onto the curb. I uttered "No, I can’t, I have friends waiting." I kept looking down. I didn't want to look at his black eyes, feeling like an insect in a spider's web.After a few seconds, he responded, "OK, never mind. Here come my friends." I looked up and past him. There were two young kids about a block away and they were walking in our direction. Then I noticed that they weren't walking, that their legs weren't moving. They hovered a few inches above the sidewalk and were floating towards us. I freaked out and quickly turned around to run. As I did so, I heard a horrifying groan behind me. I ran faster than I ever thought was possible, directly towards the hotel. I felt like they were right behind me. I has the painful sensation of something clawing at my back, a feeling I will never forget. It was pure terror. When I reached the entrance to the hotel, I looked back and found myself alone. I continued moving quickly, not stopping until I was back in my room. My girlfriend and the couple were startled to see me panting and bending over in pain. They asked, "What happened? Where’s the wine?" I collapsed onto the couch and didn’t speak until I could catch my breath. I never told them what really occurred, only that some thugs tried to attack me. I no longer felt like playing host and I told my guests that I wanted to call it a night.I didn’t sleep a wink that night, fearing that these black-eyed kids would find me." JNOTE: This black-eyed people phenomenon gets stranger and stranger. Are these otherworldly beings, or some other type of entity? These particular BEKs seemed to be malevolent, but that's not always the case. Is their existence connected to an infiltration by unknown forces from an alternate reality? Are their encounters an attempt to study our reaction to their presence or possibly far more dubious intentions? These BEK, black-eyed kids, are not seen in schools or other locations where youth congregate. Their base or lair is a complete mystery. Then again, maybe these are actual humans who are possessed somehow and able to transform under certain conditions. Are these the vampires and werewolves of previous eras, now conforming to our modern world? I'm keeping an open mind.

An experiencer observes a couple walking together and other people walking individually. About every other person's face that I saw was "smooth," flesh-colored, but the faces had no features.I received the following account:“When I was in my late 20s living in a suburb of Los Angeles, I was driving alone towards a shopping center near my home. It was about 2:30 on a weekend afternoon. And, as usual, I saw people (adults) walking on the sidewalk and happened to be looking on the left. There was a couple walking together and other people walking individually. About every other persons face that I saw was "smooth". They were flesh colored -- but the face absolutely had no features. I thought that I had to be losing my mind? I braked instantly and turned my head to be able to see more clearly and again, I saw that there were people who had faces and those who didn't.I've never seen that again and pretty much kept it to myself until one day my sister and I were talking about strange things that we had seen over our lifetime. And, my sister tells me the story of when she and her husband had first got married and had became very involved in the Christian church that they went to. They had left church one Sunday evening and had gone into a near by McDonalds that was always quite busy. They had taken a seat in one of the booths. Her husband excused himself to use the men's room. My sister sat alone waiting for him to return -- when all of a sudden this man in a dark rain coat came up to their table and stood there and when my sister looked up into his face -- his head was shaking abnormally fast from side to side -- so fast that she could barely make out his features. But, she could see that there were no facial features, there was no nose, no eyes or mouth. She said that about the same time her husband was on his way back to the table and as he was walking up -- he saw the terror on his wife's face and he yelled at the man and ask him, "What are you doing? Get away from my table! Get away from my wife!" The man turned so fast and hurriedly walked away and out the doors of the restaurant.I had never told anyone about my seeing the people on the sidewalk that day that had no facial features. And, I was so amazed that my sister had her own experience with seeing one. So, I then told her what I had seen. My sister's husband told her that he feels that sometimes -- some of us -- are able to see others "through spiritual eyes" and that our spirits (our souls) are able to see demonic beings that are walking among us. And, that made a lot of sense to me. I think that we each have the ability to see evil spirits that are among us -- but it is on very rare occasions that the ability is tapped into. Or perhaps, it's that God prevents us from seeing them because they are so frightening and for us to see them would be too much. I had no idea that there were so many other cases out there where others have seen the same thing? Finding this video amazed me and gave me chills to know that what I saw wasn't a hallucination. And, that I'm not crazy!" MNOTE: The account referenced faceless beings, which I have posted about as well. Was this a sixth sense, mediumship, or another ability? I can sense spirit energy, but have occasionally 'seen' the energy as well (through my mind's eye). Some people can see spirits in photographs (which I cannot). There are many variables in the context of intuitive abilities. But I also feel that personal development in the law of attraction is instrumental.

The eyewitness describes an unknown 3-foot-tall humanoid in their house. It had a menacing expression, and the feeling of terror enveloped them. What did they encounter?I received the following account:"Hi. Around 2010 I saw something in my house. I was up studying, it was around 2am. I had my 160lb Roman Rottweiler sitting on the bed with me. For reference he wasn't really scared of anything, he was well-trained and always followed my commands without hesitation. He's also a very friendly dog despite the reputation of Rottweilers being more of a "loves the family but suspicious of others" breed.Normally when there is a bear outside he can tell and he'll give me that low quiet growl and walk to the door. I let him out and he'll chase it off, he knows to not pursue or attack it. He doesn't even react to deer in the yard because he knows they're no threat.Back to my studying, if I remember correctly it was bovine anatomy. I had finished my notes and decided to change my music. All of a sudden he starts whimpering, he doesn't really do that unless it's something serious. Once when he got bit by a snake and the other time was when a tornado got close.I loved on him, patted him and told him to "stop that whining." I guess it didn't click at the time that something might have been wrong. He jumps up suddenly, posted up. Teeth showing, guttural growling and his scruff is on end. He's staring at my bedroom door so I look to see what it is that has him so freaked out.This thing was about 3 feet tall. It had a pointed nose and ears. The eyes were long and bloodshot looking, the pupils were way bigger than they should have been. Looking at them was like staring into a dark hole. It's hair was long and matted, really dirty looking. It's arms/hands/feet seemed longer than they should have been. I couldn't tell exactly what it was wearing but it looked like some kind of hooded poncho that was tattered and covered in mud. It's skin was almost an olive color but was covered in dirt. The lips were extremely think and it had a kind of smirk on its face.I couldn't even move, I just had a hold on my dog. Unable to speak I'm sitting there just staring at this thing. Then it f**king smiled at me revealing sharp teeth. When I say sharp teeth I mean it looked like when a person files their teeth into points. All the while my dog is still growling like I've never heard. I buried my head in my dog and didn't move for what felt like hours, in reality 10 minutes had passed. I guess that kid part of me came out and I was doing the equivalent of hiding under the blanket so the monster can't get you.Even though I was terrified he seemed to calm down after a while and I looked up, this thing was gone. I grabbed him by the collar and drug him through the house with me so I could make sure all the doors and windows were locked. My front door was wide open when I made it into the living room.I didn't sleep that night and I didn't sleep well for a good while after that afraid this thing would come back. I noticed after the incident I started waking up with my dog laying over my body like he was trying to pin me. This lasted for weeks but eventually stopped. He still followed me anywhere I went though, I couldn't even close the bathroom door without him trying to get in.Just thinking about that thing still fills me with a sense of dread and terror. I've always lived alone so it's not as if a roommate planked me and there's no way what I saw was human.It's crazy to think that if you told others they'd think you're crazy or think you're just telling them a spooky story. I came across a story about 6 years ago that was extremely similar after some extensive searching. I just had to figure out what it was.I've never seen anything like that and I've never experienced anything weird like that again. Life moved on but I still think about that encounter. I know I wasn't asleep and I know I'm not crazy. All of my searching just led me to things like fairy-folk. I don't even believe in that stuff.Maybe this isn't the appropriate place to post this but I figured I ought to give it a try and see if any of you might know. Sorry about the poor structure this is a bit of a rant. I've never really told people about this and it has my mind buzzing." SThe witness sent this update:"After someone suggested it was a troll I googled sightings in my area. A few counties over in 2008 a woman claimed to have seen something that is similar to what I saw.There are also other reports mostly involving encountering these things on the road. But they seem to be larger in stature.I've been up all night searching and the closest thing I came up with was the Pukwudgie though those seem to be "native" to Massachusetts as far as I can tell.After reading about them though one thing stuck me as odd. They start fires. My house burnt down a few months after seeing this thing and they couldn't ever identify what caused it. I almost died and was in the hospital for a few months due to scarring on my lungs."
