Encounters in the Desert

While hanging out in the desert, Erin, his friend and his sister had a mysterious encounter that you might be able to help identify. Stories of these beings might be hard to believe until, like me, you start hearing similar stories from people who don't know each other. In this case, three people witness the same thing. My name is Edwin and here is Erin's true scary story. We went down to this area in southern Utah, in the town of Saint George. Just down from there. It is an area called the Arizona Strip, and it's right on the border of Utah and the state of Arizona. We are down there, hanging out, chilling. We've seen a lot of stuff out there, and my buddy was like, hey, when I flipped my car around, anything happens, we can just head straight back back into the town. Once I got into his car, I was sitting there, look up and this figure he went away to speak hear just appears wearing this the wolf skin, some sort that that name of Americans were. He was kind of hunched over, his head was turning, its eyes were glowing yellow. I was terrified. I was screaming. Then next thing, he's gone. I still had to flip the car around. I still had to get out of the car. My sister and my buddy, they're both freaking out, and we got out of there. And after that, I was with sister Brittany and one of my other friends. He's all into the paranoim. He calls me up one night, Hey, when I go down check out some the paranormal stuff, Like, sure, this is about about ten thirty at night, but I guess it's few nights before that. We saw some glowing eyes out in the bushes and we didn't see anything else. It's just suddenly glowing eyes. We thought there could have been like an animal coming back out there. Again, we see these glowing eyes, but then they started multiplying. There's we saw a couple first, and there's four eight. Okay, let's get out of here. We'd walk off, and then we turn around all the cities, the shadowed beakers, heads whatever. It's dark the moon, the moon's out so somewhat see what's going on. And we see these heads. It looks like they're popping up and down trying to hide behind the bush, Like, what in the world is that? So I got the feeling I was like, all right, guys, let's get out of here. I don't think that's a good idea to be hanging around. Start running off my buddy. He goes down this hill. My sister and I were up on the top and then we're like, hey, don't freak out. There is this tall shadow, big gear right behind you. You're like, guys, it's not the time to freak me out. Not the joke around, not kidding you. Man, Look behind you. He turns around and there's this giant, big gear. It's gonna be at least seven feet tall. It was where it had like a figure of a al with a rope, kind of like the Ring raised from the Lord of Rings, something similar to that. Just pitch black. We take off running. Sister's tripping. She's wearing flip flops out in the desert like a carrier. We get down to the car I left my car. There's about five six of those shadows, but they're right behind this tall one there, this tall one, the leader. They're just falling them. We're like, that is not happening. To get in my car. I'm just frozen in fear. Everyone's yelling. I'm screaming that leader that's why I call it. It looks like he's targeting my buddy. My buddy's in the front passenger seat and it is walking right to the front towards him. Noboddy just says, just start the car, get us at it here hit us. If I start the car, pick off. This is a dirt road. I'm going back so I can. We're going about sixty miles an hour down the road. My friend says, that thing, wherever it was, it did not move what she started to take off, it just it just just stood there. I don't know. Shortly after that, my sister says, there's a few of them behind us, all on us. Once we got down to the main road, they stopped. That was terrifying. It took me a good month month and a half. I was afraid. I was afraid of dark for about the amount of time it took me a little bit to get over that. On our way home, I was struck. My sister off. We're saying, what was that. At the time, we had no idea what it was. All we can think of was that we're out there looking for skinwalkers. But I don't think those those or skinwalkers think there are some type of demons. We're out looking for something, and if 're out looked for something, it's gonna show itself. We kind of got more than what we asked for. I don't understand what that thing is. It's bizarre. I know if we hung around that we would be in trouble. Who knows. I don't know what would have happened, and I just know it wouldn't be good if we just hung around any longer. So we try to tell the story of the experience with a lot of people, a bunch of our friends that they're like, oh, years full, that didn't happened. I'm like, well, i'd all three of us see it. All three of us can imagine the same thing. We've had some people who believe this. I got to the point where I didn't share it because a lot we've got many fun out for it. So kind of looked at that for for a while. I try to look it up. All I think find was what I've looked up. They said they're called shadow man. There's some that look exactly what I saw, like the robe type figger. Then there's one that I did not see. But there's one that wears a like a hat, which I did not see the other ones. They didn't have really any shape. They were just like a black blob kind of floating behind. I've only gone back twice. I really don't like going back out there. I've got one I'm usually with other friends doing something else. I did something with photography and stuff with telescopes. I kinda want to be with a large group of friends if I'm gonna be out there at all, I just won't go out there by myself. Strange every time I go out there at night, even if I'm not out looking, I feel like I'm being watched. Kay Erie like us people interested in the paranormal, Aaron explores other areas, starting with the ghost town. History continues right after this, Let's dick with us. In the summer of two thousand and seven, I found out about this ghost town just outside the Zion National Park in Utah. This ghost town is called Grafton. It's been in ghost town. It finally died into a ghost town efficient in the nineteen twenties. We get there. We've been there a few times, so we're checking out the cemetery. The cemetery it is the definition of a Western cemetery. It's got old headstone sandstone headstone. Each grave has a mound you can see where the body would be would be at or at the very back of the cemetery. At the back there is about four. There's four Native Americans that are buried there. We saw five. I took a picture of it. My friend he had this splashlight. There's no smartphones back then, but used whatever camera we had on the on our cell phones at the time. I got a picture of this. We took a picture of the headstone. We're telling some friends about this, the grave we saw. We went back. It was about a week or two later. What back We could not find the headstone, the great we knew where it was at there there was no his stone, no marker, there was no mound, as if the grave never existed. There's no ground disturbance. Well, if we've got the picture, that's right here, like this is not happening. The next morning I research get on there no record of Pokem in the cemetery. There was five there when we went there, but there was twelve four in the records. We went back several times that year that summer. We asked Pokem if he's around when we play it back I don't know what language it was. I've got the EVP. I don't know if it was Native American now Ajo, I don't know. It was like a whisper. It was distinct. There was something there. It was whispering. It's Thursday, it's there, and I still got that recording. I try to research and I can't find anything how that great disappeared, but yet I've got a picture of it or the mound disappeared. There's a couple of things that happened at Grafton, A big old group of this one. This one time, we're down there. It's about ten of us. We're walking out in the fields out past the town of Grafton. We stopped. We see this it It was white. It looked like a little kid just standing there. They're pretty far away. It was about five hundred yards a little closer. We saw this object just standing there. We're watching it for about thirty seconds. All of a sudden, the object starts getting dimmer and dimmer, until eventually it disappears. We're asking everybody, y'all see that one we saw it. I did a bunch of a bunch of research on that. I think it could have been one spirit of one of the girls. Two girls were swinging on a set. It was around the eighteen eighties. They're on a swing set. The top log collapsed, fell apart, landed on top two girls and killed them, crushed them, kill them instantly. There's tales of two girls their spirits one around night. We're kind of thinking that was one of the spirits of one of the girls that we saw out there. We were in this other house. We got into one of the one of the houses out there and we're all one by one into the attic, start going. We hear this sound like a piece of wood getting thrown across the road. What in the world was that? Or friends that was with us? She just freaked out. Just to begin with, out there, one of the other friends that hey, oh that was me. I bumped into into some wood and some wood took dover and she said, oh, okay whatever. Afterwards he and Tony says, that wasn't me. There's no wood. I came from their room. Are you kidding me? I was like, yeah, that place has a lot of activity. It's usually at night. I've been in more at night time than I had in the daytime. Scary, a lot of them are just old settlers in that time, just I don't know, just kind of hanging out. I don't think they're meaning to scare anyone. They're just appearing. It's our human nature to be curious. Sometimes they get what are we asked for? I samebody. We went out to this cemetery in southern Utah. Wee at night. It's closed off at night. We end up jumping the fence. You had to walk a little bit before you actually made it into the cemetery. We started going, we didn't quite make it in all the way. We're started hearing this stuff. By the time we got to the end, we saw this thing swinging by the trees from distance. What is that print? Tell? Then we started hearing this. It wasn't a drum, but it was like a beat, constant beat of someone like hitting the metal piece constantly in consistent tap. First it was a way is away. Slowly it started coming closer and closer. We started. I was like, okay, let's get out of here. We're running. Then the sound it sounds like it is directly right behind us. As they're running. We jumped the fence again to get get back out. That sounds still behind us get in the car and iver as we get it in this owl buzz is the windshield. This had anything to do with I don't know what, but whatever it was, I don't I think it was letting us know we weren't welcome. Another time, all the roommates were out town. I was hearing a bunch of stuff around the apartment, and I started hearing things from the kitchen. I called my mom and I said, hey, there, if I stayed to night, it stuff starts happening over here. She said, yeah, it's it's a spine. I'm laying on the count. All of a sudden, the oven turned on as it started preheating by itself. I go over, turn it off. I'm not staying at night here and I'm by myself. I packed up some stuff just for the night and headed over. So I think whatever whatever was over at Grafting balled me to my home. I really experienced really much to that. They kind of want to do to you again. Know what I want to find this time or what I'll bring home with me. Do you have a story?
