Hi, I've had a series of strange experiences in my life that I've wanted to share, but I've been hesitant to talk about them because they sound absurd. But I recently listened to the Jeff Ritzmann interview and his experiences were very strange, and it encouraged me to relate this weird story and get opinions on it, particularly Jeff's opinion. This is going to sound ridiculous, like those stories that cynical people tell to make fun of other people's experiences, but it really happened.
I was in 7th grade and my mom got relocated to Mobile, AL. For whatever reason (subjective or whatever) I have an association of evil with that place. Back then I used to skateboard and I found a big concrete ditch not too far from my house. It was perfect for skating, but the first day my brother and I went there, we found animal parts scattered along the floor of the ditch. They were large, like dog parts, not cooked, with no skin and the muscle still attached to the bone. It looked like an entire large animal but completely separated into pieces.
That was weird, but we didn't think much of it and we would go there often to skate.
Months later, I was with a friend named Sam and we were skating there. For whatever reason, we decided to follow the ditch into the woods and see where it led. So we skated along, for a very long time. It led away from the residential area and into the woods, getting gradually narrower and slightly lower in elevation. We kept on going deeper, for several miles, until the ditch abruptly ended at 2 concrete tunnels going into the ground in front of us. They were each about 5 feet tall.
At this point we're deep into the woods and far away from any houses. We stood there, trying to decide if we should go further. Before we said anything, we heard voices talking to us from inside the right tunnel. They were asking us to come inside the tunnel. We were so scared we were petrified, and then we heard an instrument like an accordion or harmonica coming from inside. We were not about to go inside, but we just stood there like statues.
Next thing I know, I see several sets of intense glowing eyes inside the right tunnel, moving up and down as if walking. Then, 5 people emerged from the tunnel. It was a family of 5, all with blonde hair and blue eyes. An adult male and adult female, maybe in their 30s, and 3 children. They all had bicycles. I looked down at the youngest child, which was a girl, and she looked to be about 6 or 7 years old. I remember thinking to myself that she had strange eyes like she was on drugs.
I vaguely remember that the man held up an instrument and said that the next time I heard it I would know it was him. And they rode away on their bicycles.
We stood there for a long time, and I finally asked Sam what he saw. He ackowledged that he saw their glowing eyes. Nevertheless we tried to think of an ordinary explanation. We said that maybe it was the bicycle reflectors. But in the back of my head I saw glowing eyes and they moved up and down like a walking person, not like a rolling bike.
WTF? A family of 5 aryans who were just sitting inside a pitch black tunnel in the woods. With glowing eyes and bicycles.
I would've completely written off this story as a child's exaggerated memory, had it not been for my friend Sam's corroboration of my experience. Which is one reason why I agree with Jeff's assertion that these "high strangeness" occurrences are happening more often and to more people that we assume. I can only guess at the number of things I've written off and forgotten because there was no one there with me to back up my weird experience and say, "yes it happened".
My gut feeling, for whatever it's worth, is that these people were involved in some sort of "occult practices". With these practices they could alter people's consciousness in some way. I'm open to anyone's opinions, and I'd especially like to know if anyone has had a similar experience.
