Albert Rosales humanoid sighting reports 1000-2007

Time: night

Peter Rahm alleges that he and his wife were at their farm one evening late when there came a little man, swart of face and clad in gray, who begged the witness’s wife to come and help his wife then in labor. The witness, seeing that they had to do with a troll, prayed over his wife, blessed her, and bade her in God’s name go with the stranger. She seemed to have been borne away by the wind. The woman accepted no food in fairyland and was therefore returned unharmed.

Several persons (to the number of 15 or 16) having been at a wedding, did after dinner walked abroad by the riverside, some of them walked upon the bank close by the water, others of them at a greater distance, but they all, as they have since reported, saw a cloud rise up out of the water, much resembling the kites flown by local boys. It rose higher and higher until it became a direct cloud in the proper region, and as they stood looking up and gazing upon it, they plainly saw the cloud open, and therein beheld the form and proportion of a tall black man, with a thin meager countenance, who seemed to move to and fro very swiftly, and then suddenly vanished. After this the cloud closed again and within a very little while they saw it open the second time, and then there appeared a man on horseback, who moved to and fro with great swiftness for a very short space of time, and soon disappeared, upon which the cloud immediately (as before) was shut up, but presently opening again the third time, there appeared the form of a very comely and beautiful lady, who after she had for a while moved backwards and forwards (as the other two had done before) suddenly vanished also, and then the whole cloud dispersed. None of the spectators are in the lest suspected to have any inclination to fanaticism therefore we doubt not but upon that account the relation will gain credit amongst those, who otherwise are too slow of hear to believe these things.

17-year old shepherdess Benoit Rencurel was out working on the hillside near a ruined chapel and had just finished her rosary when an elderly man in a red robe appeared to her, introducing himself as St. Maurice. He found for her a spring of water that she had not seen before, and then told her to go with her sheep to a small valley near St. Etienne “where a great grace would be granted her.” Being a devout girl, she went to the valley the next day. At a spot known as Les Fours she saw the first of a series of visions of a lady and child that were to occur regularly over a period of two months. When asked who she was the figure replied: “I am Mary, the Mother of Jesus. It is the will of my son that I should be honored in this parish though not in this spot. You will therefore ask the priest to come here with his people in procession.” A number of healings and miraculous cures were claimed and accepted by ecclesiastical authorities. It is interesting to note that at times the apparition was accompanied by “delicious perfumes” or odors.

Numerous witnesses heard a loud report coming from the sky and saw three tongues of flames shooting down into the fields. This occurred three times in a row. A powerful lighting struck parts of the city causing some fires. Around the same time on the nearby fields a large black cloud-like mass descended towards the ground emitting a loud thunder like sound. From the cloud emerged a huge hair covered figure that ran swiftly across the fields. Several locals attempted to chase the creature but this one was to fast. It ran so quickly that it was able to run circles around the stunned locals. It was able to seemingly appear behind them and then in front of them in a matter of seconds. Those who were able to see it close described it as having a huge multi-colored tail, white, blue, and red. Soon after the appearance of this terrible beast a powerful storm destroyed many farms and houses in the area killing over 80 persons.

Ebenezer Babson was returning home late one night when he saw two men step out of his house and dash into a cornfield. When he ran inside to check on his family’s welfare, his wife and children were nonplussed by his questions; no intruders had entered the house, they insisted. Babson grabbed a gun and went outside, where he spotted the two men bolting up from behind a log. As they escaped to a nearby swamp, one was overheard saying to the other, “The man of the house is now come; else we might have taken the house.” The family retreated to a military garrison not far away, and Babson then sneaked outside, where he encountered the two men again. The following day he came upon them a third time and they chased him into the garrison. Over the next week or two Babson, sometimes alone, sometimes in the company of others, had further encounters with mysterious strangers, suspected to be French-Canadian scouts in league with hostile Indians. On July 14 the entire garrison watched half a dozen of the strangers. A pursuit party, with Babson in the lead, got within gunshot range. Babson fired on them, and three fell to the ground, only to rise to their feet with no apparent signs of injury. As they fled one turned to fire on Babson; the bullet narrowly missed him and lodged in a tree, from which its intended victim subsequently retrieved it. A few minutes later the garrison group trapped one of the strangers. Babson shot him, and the man dropped. But when Babson and his companions rushed to the spot, no one was there. Several days’ later two scouts from the garrison observed eleven of the strange men as they performed what looked like peculiar incantations. Richard Dolliver fired on them, causing them to scatter. As sightings continued, the strangers were accused of beating on barns, throwing stones, and other acts. Babson experienced one of the last sightings. Seeing three strangers, he dived behind a bush and waited in ambush---only to have his gun misfire. The strangers gave him a disdainful glance and walked on. Soon after that they were never seen again.

A local old man---who was a healer and a witch, saw a bird flying to the forest three times in a row and a voice reportedly invited him to the forest. He went to the forest. Soon he saw a flying disk come and stop for a while above the village. The old man did not come back from the forest. The next day his son went to the forest looking for him where he met a bear-like creature that spoke to him and told him that his father was gone. “The ship of sky took and carried him to a better world where a race which is higher than people on Earth lives.”

According to Chippewa Indian lore some Indians were walking over the plains when they saw someone sitting on the grass. It was a man. When they approached, he halted them by raising his hand. “He said, I don’t belong here. I dropped from the above.” They wished to take him home with them. He told them to go home and clean the place where he was to stay. Then he would return with them. After they had done this, they came back for him. He was a nice-looking man, clean and shining bright. He stayed with them. “Every day at sundown, he watched the sky. In a clear voice he said, something will come down, I will go up.” He said he had been running in the sky. There was an open place; he couldn’t stop running, so he dropped through. One day in the afternoon he said, “Now it’s coming.” Everyone looked up but they could see nothing for a long time. The man who had kept the “Sky man” at his home could see better than the others. He saw a brilliant star shining way up in the sky. The other Indians didn’t see it until it came near the ground. They had never seen anything nicer in the world. Two men got a hold of it and pulled it down. The “sky-man” got into it. Then it rose and he was gone. They had tried to get him to stay but he said that he must go.

Two men working in a mine extracting malachite and other ore had gone for a brief rest on a nearby meadow. They lied down on the grass and went to sleep. Suddenly one of the men named Stepan Petrovich awoke by a sudden push on his side. He then saw a strange “woman” sitting in front of him near a large stone. Her outer appearance was that of a very attractive young woman with black plaited hair, she had several red and green beads attached to her plaits. She was not very tall and moved with inhuman speed, like “mercury” changing her position numerous times. Petrovich called her “mercury-girl”. Petrovich then heard her speaking to someone that was apparently invisible in a language that was totally unknown to him, evidently laughing at the witness and obviously talking about him. Her manner of dress amazed Petrovich, she wore something like a silk dress but apparently made out of malachite stone (?). The witness became frightened, since he had already heard tales of encounters with a strange female entity in this same area. She was called “The Mistress of Copper Mountain”. He also heard of the different tricks played on humans by entity or entities, he thought to escape, but she suddenly turned around and smiling said, “So why are you staring at my beauty Stepan Petrovich? People pay money just to look at me, Come closer, we will talk a bit”. Somehow the stranger knew the witness name. Seized by fear Stepan told her that he had no time to talk, but she insisted and the young man was forced to obey. The stranger ordered Stepan to approach her and at this point he noticed what appeared to be hundreds of “lizards” all around her, off different colors, green, bluish, brown ones with gold spots, etc. “Don’t step on them!” The strange woman warned, “They are my army”. “Look how big and heavy you are and they are small”. She then clapped her hands and the lizards went away. Stepan came closer to her and stopped, but the strange woman clapped her hand again speaking to him in a humiliating manner, and threatening him, “Now you have no place to go, if you step on my servants, you will be in trouble!” He looked down and saw hundreds of lizards gathered at one spot. The female then said, “Now you have recognized me Stepan. Don’t be afraid. I will not harm you.” But Stepan pointed out that he was indeed very afraid. The strange woman then ordered Stepan that tomorrow once he was down at the mine he must tell his bosses the following words, “The owner-mistress of the Copper Mountain is ordering you, you stinking he-goat (!) to leave the Red Mountain pit at once. If you continue in destroying my iron cap, I will drop the entire copper deep into the bowels of the earth and it will never be found”. She made Stepan repeat her order and again told him not to be afraid. She then ordered Stepan to leave and not to tell anything to his companion. She clapped her hands once more and the lizards again went away. She jumped up grabbed a stone and also ran away. At this moment the stunned Stepan noticed that her outer appearance had suddenly changed, he could see now that she had green paws, a tail with a black crest running down her back, but her head still remained human in appearance. She climbed to the top of the mountain and said, “Don’t forget what I told you Stepan, if you follow my instructions, I will marry you!” Stepan replied disgusted that he would never marry a lizard and spit in her direction. She laughed and said, “We will meet again later, maybe then you would have reached a decision.” She then jumped again and disappeared behind a large rock. The stunned Stepan pondered what to do since he was both afraid of the reptile woman and his boss. But soon he made the decision to do what he was asked. The next morning he approached his boss in the pit and gave him the message. This infuriated his boss, who accused Stepan of being either drunk or crazy. But Stepan remained firm stating that it was the Mistress of the Copper Mountain’s will. The boss then ordered the others to tie up Stepan with a chain and to beat him mercilessly. He was then imprisoned deep in an underground pit, riveted by a long chain, and exposed to mockery and humiliation.

When Stepan was left alone he began beating on the rock, causing the malachite to crumble. Suddenly it became dry around him and in a moment he saw a bright light and the lizard woman standing before him, she said, “Good man, Stepan Petrovich. You have honored me, you were not afraid of your boss.” The woman then told Stepan to follow her, that she always kept her word, she was going to show him her dowry. She clapped her hands and hundreds of lizards appeared quickly removing Stephan’s chain. She then invited Stepan into her realm. They went deep into the mountain. She walked ahead, Stepan following closely. Amazingly Stepan watched as they penetrated deeper and deeper into the rock, which appeared to recede in their path. He then saw huge tunnels, caverns and large underground rooms, with decorated walls, with copper flowers. The surroundings looked stunning to Stepan. The woman’s dress also appeared to be changing colors, sparking like a diamond, and then shining with a greenish tint. Soon they entered a huge room with beds, chairs, stools, all made out of copper. The walls were made of malachite, encrusted with diamonds and the ceiling was dark red with copper flowers. The “Lizard Queen” then ordered Stepan to sit and asked him if he liked her dowry and if he would marry her. Stepan was hesitant since he already had a bride named Anastasia. He answered that her dowry was a king’s ransom but he was just a working simple man. She frowned, and said, “Don’t hesitate, will you marry me or not?” Stepan answered that he couldn’t since he already had a bride. He was afraid that the woman would become angry. But incredibly, the “Lizard Queen” was thankful and appreciative for his honesty and gave Stepan a present for his wife, a malachite box filled with all types of jewelry. Stepan then asked how he would get back. She told him not to worry, that it all will be arranged, and added that he would be liberated from his boss and that hew would live a rich life with his bride. He was then fed various kinds of food and then the “Lizard Queen” bade farewell giving Stepan several stones pointing out that they would make him rich. Stepan then asked which way he should go, the “Lizard Queen” then pointed with her clawed hands at the stone wall and a hole appeared in front of his eyes that led into a tunnel. Stepan followed the tunnel in which he saw many “treasures”. As he walked the tunnel closed behind him automatically.

Soon after this adventure, Stepan became rich and lucky and people rumored that he had “traded his soul with the Devil”. The work in the mine soon stopped and everything happened as the “Lizard Queen” had predicted. But unfortunately Stepan’s health deteriorated and he began “fading away”. Several years his dead body was found near the abandoned Red Mountain pit mine, it is said that he had a smile on his face and his rifle was lying nearby. Locals reported seeing a tall green lizard type figure standing over him and crying over his body.

Comments: Reputed to have been a “folk tale” based on true events. There are indeed similarities to modern encounters and reports of underground facilities.

Location. Yekaterinburg region, Ural, Russia

Date: 1719

Time: unknown

Men working for the famous plant owner, industrialist, Demidov, engaged in finding ores in this region of the Ural reported capturing a strange gnome-like entity, which they [as2]found living underground in a cave. The weird creature reportedly lived for a time inside Demidov’s canary cage, but it died several days or weeks after it was caught, either as a result of inadequate shelter, or more likely as a result of inadequate nourishment. Knowing about the interest in weird things by the first Russian Czar Peter the Great, Demidov ordered that the body of the strange gnome-like creature be “pickled” and shipped by convoy to the capital of Saint Petersburg where the dead body of the dwarf was eventually put into what was called a “Kunst-camera” (a sort of special museum for bizarre and weird things created by Peter the Great). Hundreds of years later during the 1960’s one of the scientific research team members working with professor Dr. V. F. Porshnev PhD (a famous Soviet anthropologist) investigated the story and Dr. Porshnev who was also a researcher on relic hominoids and “snow man” reports, made an inquiry to the museum (despite the fact he had no interest on so-called dwarfs or gnomes). The answer was strange: There wasn’t any gnome in the “Kunst-camera” the whole thing apparently had just been an unusual “dwarf-monkey” that was transferred to the Zoological museum in 1936. The researchers were puzzled and realized that Demidov could have hardly fooled Peter the Great by sending him ‘bogus’ materials, and they also knew that there were no such “monkeys” living among the cold pine forests of the Ural Mountains. Apparently what had happened was that researchers in the 1930s became interested in this extremely unorthodox and inconvenient exhibit and for the sake of “modern science” it was transferred to a hidden repository away from people. Evidently was uncommon in appearance and was not a monkey, and was very difference from Homo sapiens. According to ancient legends, there are underground cities, caves and tunnels under the Ural Mountains where these alien entities dwell on a regular basis.

Members of a Royal Danish Commission investigating supposed sightings of “mermaid” like creatures in the area watched such a figure approached their vessel. It sank into the waters but surfaced shortly afterwards to stare intently at them with its deep-set eyes. A few minutes of this scrutiny proved so unsettling that the ship affected a retreat. As it was doing so, the merman puffed out his cheeks and emitted a “deep roar” before diving out of sight.
