A downtown Chicago security guard starting to experience unexplained phenomena while making his rounds. He later observed an entity on a monitor and encountered a bizarre winged humanoid.I recently received the following account:";Hello‚ sir. In the spring of 2021‚ I was working as a security employee in downtown Chicago‚ Illinois. On this specific night at around 1:30 AM‚ I had completed my usual rounds and then settled into the monitor room to check the footage.After about an hour‚ I took a walk to start my next round. Sitting all night can get tiresome and I needed to stretch my legs occasionally. I would start at the ground floor‚ then up the stairwells‚ checking all crucial points. I';d check the entrances‚ and exits‚ check to see if all the offices were locked up and then I would head back down to the ground floor.When I got back to the 3rd floor‚ the elevator stopped. When the doors opened‚ no one was there. I noticed that corridor lights flickering and it felt a little creepy when that happened. I got back into the elevator and went to the ground floor. When I reached the ground floor‚ and after the elevator door opened‚ I made my way to the security room to watch the monitors.As soon as I sat down‚ I caught a fleeting glimpse of something unusual passing by on one of the surveillance monitors that was situated outside the security room. I could have sworn that it had wings‚ but it went by too quickly. I got up‚ opened the door‚ and peeked out of the room. My stomach started to churn‚ I could ';feel'; that something was aware that I was there. Don';t ask me why‚ I just had that immediate sense of nervousness.I returned to the monitor room. I started to review the CCTV footage and pulled up the feed from a camera. As I watched I saw the familiar scene of the empty hallway. Then I observed a hazy figure materialize on the screen. It resembled a human form but its edges shimmered and blurred making it seem dreamlike. The figure floated down the hallway. It cast no shadow and seemed entirely devoid of substance. I continued to monitor the ghostly figure as its movements became more erratic.Then‚ as it moved towards the front street door‚ it began to gain a more defined form. I immediately got to my feet and rushed to the door. I walked into the hallway and quickly moved toward the front. As I turned the corner I saw a 6-7 foot tall winged being that looked human-like. It was very thin and dark in color. The wings were almost transparent as the light from the street could be seen through it. The wings were huge‚ I';d say 15 feet in total width‚ and unfurled. I was in shock. I accidentally dropped my flashlight on the floor and the being turned and looked in my direction. That is when I noticed its eyes illuminated with a bright orange-red color. Then‚ in a flash of blue light‚ it vanished! It was totally gone!I stood there for several minutes in total silence. I eventually walked back to the security room‚ but the rest of the shift was a blur. I never mentioned the sighting to anyone and I never wrote it in my report. Why? Because when I went back to watch the recording there was nothing there! I know that I didn';t erase it because there was no way that I could have done that. No mechanism would allow me to do so.I live alone‚ so there was no one at home to relay my incident to. About 2 weeks later‚ I quit my security job after finding another line of work.More recently‚ I was at a friend';s home for dinner. He had other acquaintances there as well. As we sat in his living room after dinner‚ a discussion started about the Chicago Mothman sightings. I had never heard of the phenomenon‚ but I was intrigued by what I heard.That is when I decided to search online about the sightings and that is how I found you. I don';t know what I witnessed that night‚ but deep down I believe that it may be related. I';m hesitant to reveal the location of my sighting because I don';t want any trouble from my ex-employer. At this point‚ I';m debating with myself how much information that I want to disclose."; JNOTE: I was able to contact and message the witness. There was no telephone communication and the text was devoid of ID and stated ';SECURED'; only. He eventually told me where his sighting occurred‚ but insisted that I not release the information. All that I will disclose is that it occurred in a building located at the intersection of W. Washington St &;amp; N. State St. For now‚ the specific location and other information will remain confidential and only known by the Phantoms &;amp; Monsters Fortean Research team.This encounter suggests that these winged humanoids may be supernatural‚ an aspect of this investigation that the team has believed to be true.
