1:06

continue piecing this, mystery together

1:09

and give you more details on. the other

1:11

side enjoy

1:20

I was about ten years olds born and raised

1:22

in northeast Ohio Razali Cleveland

1:25

suburban, streets middle class

1:27

area lots of woods Surowiecki

1:30

like if there's a development it's lot of

1:32

heavy wooded areas in between. thought

1:34

of this area is to can explore an adventure

1:38

The younger kids mean call my buddies

1:40

or hang our friend's house friend Bradley

1:43

we're probably around the rate of ten

1:45

lived. in an area where basically this woods

1:47

everywhere surrounding the of so national

1:50

thing as kids the are finding are deal it in

1:52

this area okay would still take around finally

1:54

passed as is can like young always

1:56

his away from your parents or whatever

1:59

guardian The have around you as kid.

2:02

Mean a cold my buddies we all met were playing together

2:04

soccer team one night we're just all

2:06

hanging out at all my buddies house

2:08

Bradley was. like winter nice

2:10

there's that much fun things to do we can't really play soccer

2:12

outside stuff like that and it was kind of getting

2:14

dark and we you know how to little bit more time

2:17

to hang out so are we were like okay what

2:19

is there to do Rarely

2:21

was like hey there's this area is just

2:23

like basically fields we go to the

2:25

woods we can go like check it out as do some fun

2:28

height face, or why

2:30

not you know some the do? so

2:32

we all got bumped up Basically,

2:35

to go on us all expedition got side.

2:38

The idea was appealing to us being kids that

2:40

just like to be in the woods. Having.

2:43

To get away from the Paris and just do some fun

2:45

and as an adult and often the funding's deal

2:47

as kid, it's winter in Ohio, you

2:49

can't really. Go outside the house for basically

2:52

anything you're freezing, besides snowball

2:54

fight, what we're was really to do and appealing

2:56

aspect of you have your own domain where

2:58

is. It like this unknown aspect. We're

3:02

in the woods, it's Safina, we live in mentor

3:04

Ohio, divorcing happens, the shoplifting

3:06

ticket or something like that, so the woods almost like this

3:09

even safer place away from people. So.

3:12

We all got bundled up Gardner, you know,

3:14

has kotor it over and we're walk and now and

3:16

all the leaves are off the trees so,

3:18

you can hear on the. Sound of our shoes hina

3:21

snow was basically the only things

3:23

that we can for the here besides the be on the highway in

3:25

distance, some. wind

3:28

blowing through the trees So

3:31

we're walking and him to get to the

3:33

trail, had like the forest, we

3:36

had walk through some other people's backyards. As

3:39

or see where I walk as you some feels backyards

3:42

and growing an accent over our he trespassing

3:45

we. gets the trailhead and it was like

3:47

an instant like for oil into darkness The

3:50

can we enter the trailhead, it was have some?

3:53

It's black. The trees

3:56

around us the. snow's

3:58

on the ground with watch The

4:00

game. It's windows moonless

4:02

night were basically is no mood out

4:04

so anything that's out there just piss blacks

4:07

it's really dark our.

4:09

eyes are being forced to see more

4:11

it's very black so it it's very

4:13

hadley what is this trees everywhere like big

4:15

tall tree so if you're not pay attention on

4:17

the trail you're gonna run off into a tree or some my

4:19

that so there's lots of trees The

4:22

things because we see in part of your eye.

4:25

During to make out our surroundings. In.

4:28

The sounds really were height, our senses

4:30

felt very high in the moment, not

4:33

only because it was very cold, but your reinforce

4:35

the see in very dark knight, your

4:38

little. Bit nervous, so everything every little sound

4:40

is, oh hello, lease blows over there, op

4:42

you really are looking over there, so we were easily

4:45

castle if you cross into an unwelcome.

4:47

territory Also

4:50

be walked by, I no trespassing sign,

4:52

that's what felt like we were just walk into the woods,

4:54

honestly we were do anything wrong. It

4:57

felt on welcome in. Just

5:00

arrived from a second, we entered the woods, which is odd,

5:03

so we all started joking, I agree

5:05

to this day we all were joking, we can

5:07

see the it's creepy. That

5:10

remember we just was a horror movie we're like oh Berbick

5:12

reference to the My Us all we're gonna run the this

5:15

monster we. felt giddy

5:17

5:19

all over like we were making jokes space

5:21

hussein all work out reigns as somebody some

5:23

people out here All

5:26

had unanimous my we could feel off each other

5:28

that it was something was off it.

5:31

has felt like we shouldn't be there A.

5:34

Kids'Imagination's imaginations So Why It's Amazing:

5:36

The Look At That World Through the View of A Child

5:39

We've Had altered To Vocalize It'Scame suffered

5:41

each Other We're Like Oh Yeah How. About the yard

5:44

run into a go stir, you know, some silly

5:46

like that are your is demon, are you

5:48

all of us grew up in similar religious back?

5:51

On our up because astray by demon enough

5:54

where. i'll say things like that Bradley's

5:57

the one who is leading us had flash.

6:00

Though. He

6:02

was, he was the one, like, what leader of the pack,

6:04

if you were in the scope of that's less you can, we

6:06

can see em ina it's a plaza was. Off

6:09

maybe our eyes would have adjusted, we could see lot better,

6:11

but especially once we entered that tree

6:13

line and enter the woods. After

6:15

the light of the house's stuff. Oh,

6:17

we didn't, we could see, was in that

6:20

last line, so basically it was his pitch black,

6:22

besides what we could see down that narrow

6:24

path cow line through the trees.

6:28

barely walk ins or the flash like oh and I'm

6:31

aware joke in it is light hearted like

6:33

okay rather run into somebody right.

6:36

as we say that I

6:39

notice his movement in the performer saw go

6:41

over. there and The second

6:44

was watching and see this movement in my

6:46

peripheral it. was almost

6:48

simultaneously as simultaneously turned bradley

6:51

had seen the same thing in his vision

6:53

and it's right in aquariums ice of his class it almost can

6:55

almost mirror My first instinct, so

6:57

that kinda confirm if someone else saw something to,

7:00

and so we all look. The a serious

7:02

head. The move back. The

7:06

signs his flashlight over. Then

7:09

we all three just look. Hi,

7:11

I'm is three.

7:13

The to see this guy's pure around

7:15

the tree in a move back broke

7:17

leg.

7:20

We just hearing this low like sixteen

7:22

Sunday and voice.

7:24

And that it wasn't

7:27

just that", he said, "turn back" It

7:30

was like a snake Russian

7:32

accent that was with it.

7:34

It was almost like some key to be time

7:37

traveler had, like, just appeared in the Woods emitter,

7:39

Ohio.

7:41

Then again, turn back and is tight

7:43

as loud as it, I was a look at more aggressive as in,

7:45

in like he almost had to assert his presence

7:47

rarely goes ah, Sir A.

7:50

Ah, steps out from a tree

7:52

and now the flash I was letting

7:55

him up.

7:55

The leg. we

7:57

could lose you literally see his face and the guy

8:00

That he was holding.

8:02

I'm. Back when he went back behind a tree

8:04

was, I got blurts with him when

8:06

he kind appeared out, and even then

8:08

he sold us purpose, obviously intensely

8:11

do so as the. Guy we could make out everything

8:13

like we, could make out him to

8:16

that the deathly instant cells that are spying

8:18

like, frozen when we realize

8:20

other so that. We're not alone if someone out here with. us

8:23

for a split second i was petrified

8:26

Then. At first, I thought what is this is,

8:28

it is a ghost is someone trying to hurt

8:30

us as kid, I didn't really have much of a paranormal

8:33

minds that yet. Is I really had been exposed

8:35

like the The Go stories I'and and really watch

8:37

that many horror movies up my mind interest

8:39

there? Then thought it was someone

8:42

out there trying to hurt us to. So

8:45

he was so real. It

8:47

was very intimidating exterior thirty

8:49

years.

8:51

Before you can even say a for maybe two

8:53

or three seconds, it

8:56

terrifying. And not only that was holding gun,

8:58

but this guy seem

9:00

like someone who would hurt you. I don't know why it seem

9:02

like somebody was you're just scared of your

9:04

intimidated by We're up

9:06

something. You can make

9:09

our he's like wearing dark clothing, not

9:11

camouflaging one hundred by he's wearing dark, please

9:13

holding that the bike full airsoft gun.

9:16

Rolling what the heck is going, why is a

9:19

gang of you are listening to me not. But

9:23

now we all turnaround just

9:25

book it out there, I mean, we ran

9:28

Amy, we didn't come that far we need to make it as

9:30

far as the Woods to where we were trying to go.

9:33

The second we saw him, it was

9:35

like cells from head to toe. encounter

9:38

something that shouldn't have. Then

9:40

we all sprinted back, we ran back

9:42

the house like was in carrying something that was

9:44

like legitimately evil like. Maybe

9:47

it wasn't may media that the kid's imagination

9:49

or a that much but tell us who is such

9:52

an odd encounter.

9:55

We all view the woods as a safe place

9:58

for much like from our parents. Or family

10:00

or we're or whatever. The weather

10:03

week ago, run out as kids and just be free.

10:06

Your own thing. Playing river.

10:09

That idea that safe place

10:11

was no longer safe. The

10:13

alarming like this world that I'm so

10:15

accustomed to is not the same as it used to be,

10:17

I think thousand old alarming a mix ally

10:19

with the imagination of child. You're

10:22

running amok with all these thought so. The

10:25

state's funny, like you think you're going to

10:27

ask Lucky rankle Blaber that we can, I kept

10:29

to ourselves. My

10:31

theory behind, as because Bellies My was

10:33

look at controlling the we knew of see new

10:35

all other soccer moms would know. This

10:38

day will just around like turn back

10:40

and we'll send each other like a turn back message like on

10:42

Halloween or something. As joke

10:44

because it's like we have these questions that

10:46

were left. If

10:48

you're out there in the Woods Hygiene, you will be out there at night.

10:51

Why would you have gun? Why

10:54

would he have city fake breasts acts

10:56

like it, just it made no set, there's all these things

10:58

the way he was just you, and why was he wearing darkly

11:00

like if he was hunter you would be wearing camel? They

11:03

make doesn't have gun hunting that the hit, it

11:05

was very odd thing in this area

11:08

to run into Russian person. However.

11:11

Speaking. That secular it's like you

11:13

go remember that, so why there

11:15

was this dude back to it's somewhere

11:17

thing I thought of is that we ran as someone who just

11:19

commit. A murder I know that's a go to, but

11:21

that's what are committed some for

11:23

crime and knew he was

11:25

see him in the woods and I

11:28

am. gonna theory we had, like,

11:30

joked about that we had encountered somebody

11:32

who who, who literally with, jumped

11:34

the gap in the matrix somehow he had

11:36

ended. Up in northeast Ohio

11:38

in my own twenty first century,

11:41

when he was supposed to be the he

11:43

could have been somebody who legitimately was

11:46

hiding running Milan or

11:48

maybe. With something serious maybe not but is somebody

11:50

who just? did something did

11:52

not wanna have any collateral and sissies

11:54

these kids i mean three random

11:57

kids like young kids walk into the

11:59

woods mean that

12:00

That. In itself, be like, what do you get your, what

12:02

are you boys do now here that kind of thing like the It's

12:04

Winter, you know, don't you, it's dark as is?

12:06

My types to he had to be caught off guard,

12:08

ah, I see wasn't supposed to be there about where we not

12:10

supposed to be there as well as when we walk. In the treeline

12:12

before we even sauce, can we felt like this

12:14

weird energy of youth

12:16

should not be here?

12:18

It. Wasn't like Bradley tell us, hey we're

12:20

going to trespass and some guys land

12:23

he's ago, he's a real crazy guy, he

12:25

had some gun owner, he CEO, his Russian

12:27

or what? Is it's nothing like that the

12:29

set us up for, like expertise, we weren't doing

12:31

anything illegal thoughts like I am

12:33

no expert, don't think it was something paranormal

12:36

or. Or something that?

12:38

You know, can go store or something

12:40

some weird anomaly. I

12:42

don't think it was that. think we've legitimately

12:45

ran into someone, who was an

12:47

evil person or are we? think

12:49

we live, Jimmy ran into a dark presence.

12:52

I think we all kind of sense that the

12:54

there's some a malevolent, something malicious about this

12:56

guy's presence. Something was off

12:59

their. them didn't add up. The

13:02

to this day I theorize the he it

13:04

least did something wrong

13:06

and didn't did not last to get. Come

13:09

up in it. Hi

13:11

def me the key and a dark energy to on for, sir.

13:20

Yeah,

13:23

13:25

13:27

one right here.

13:30

Sick of memory foam mattresses that feels

14:08

Crispin Delicious, it's also perfect

14:10

for optimal lumbar support, ninety

14:13

percent of all sleepers we sampled said they

14:15

felt like they were floating on water filled

14:17

clouds. Which technically

14:19

14:22

and it's so simple.

14:24

Once the bed quote unquote

14:26

go, splat simply read, fill

14:28

15:02

the silhouette of a person brandishing

15:05

part is that,

15:07

have been never right

15:09

there in the living room. i

15:12

heard screams everything

15:15

Then there was a knock on door and the screams

15:18

stopped abruptly. disturbing

15:21

right?

15:23

While I do something about this mess how

15:25

about you watch another tape next?

15:28

story

15:33

I've always known as one, a children's

15:35

from young age. I

15:38

had been married before actually

15:41

my. husband and i it's her

15:43

second marriage for both of us and

15:45

it was something that we both really wanted And

15:50

actually teacher so children

15:52

are kind of a part of my life so.

15:55

as really important to me to have

15:57

children of my own It was

15:59

just. One of the things that I knew

16:01

that that's what wanted in life.

16:05

And we know is just wanted to, that

16:07

seems like the perfect number for us.

16:12

Third when I had just gotten married

16:15

my. husband and i had

16:17

started trying to have babies for

16:20

babies while We're having

16:22

some issues is so,

16:24

after a couple months, we ended

16:26

up having to get some intervention.

16:30

I had gone to a clinic

16:33

to make sure that everything was working.

16:37

They said, "Okay, everything Sarah,

16:39

everything's working like there's no reason

16:41

that you shouldn't be able to get pregnant

16:43

and so we did end up getting

16:46

pregnant with my first child"

16:48

pregnancy was normal,

16:51

see only things that I had

16:53

issues with was a little bit of high blood pressure.

16:57

I ended up having a

16:59

C section at thirty eight weeks and through

17:01

the East. The radio and very

17:03

healthy. Every thing.

17:07

Went smoothly.

17:10

When it's him since the birth of my

17:12

second child at thirty seven

17:15

weeks, I ended up going into labor.

17:18

went to the hospital, they determined

17:20

that was going into labor, so they called

17:22

my doctor in. The man

17:25

and they took me off with

17:27

a C section that day. We

17:31

went back for the see session everything

17:33

was going well that's. after

17:36

17:41

The first thing they

17:43

did, of course, was delivered a baby.

17:46

17:59

ended up. The went nc the time eight

18:01

years after the birth of my

18:03

child via the C section. I

18:06

heard some talking amongst the doctors.

18:10

Wasn't sure what they were saying, but

18:12

the dogs you're finally spoke up and said.

18:15

Though when did you get

18:18

18:24

asked him at that point is

18:44

it something that could have, just happen spontaneously

18:48

18:51

he said no this, is clearly a surgical

18:54

procedure. this see the

18:56

surgical scar tissue he

had been in the past as for almost

19:01

thirty years he's actually retired

19:04

after now so he was very knowledgeable

19:07

with what he was looking at and said this is

19:09

very clearly was surgery and surgical

19:11

removal The the fallopian tube.

19:16

He. ended up only trying still left

19:18

Fallopian tube wrote, it

19:20

down in his notes that the right

19:23

one was removed, finished

19:25

up with C section suffers

19:27

from to earn. Respect for him with

19:29

our baby but I just couldn't get it out

19:31

of my, head having

19:34

something taken from your body without

19:36

your knowledge without, your consent

19:39

you're dealing. With so many emotions you

19:41

have many newborn, but now he's just

19:43

found out that something in your

19:45

body that has always been

19:47

there is suddenly, gone without

19:50

explanation touch.

19:53

space of the doctor he

19:55

ended up going back in their roster

19:57

Then.

20:00

They had both of my C sections at the

20:02

same hospital so he was able

20:04

to go back and look at their records from

20:06

the first the section and

20:09

a see that and I know it

20:11

was written that everything,

20:13

was intact both fallopian tubes

20:15

were there. everything was fine

20:18

and there was nothing noted In

20:22

between both of those C sections

20:24

I never had any surgeries at

20:27

all there's. no reason

20:29

that it said it had missing

20:33

There was a really interesting

20:35

kind of whirlwind of emotions,

20:38

because on one dan I'm really,

20:40

really happy. My baby

20:42

girl is born at. I

20:45

have the family that I've always wanted. That

20:48

you also Cecile as

20:51

if someone were to tell you that we

20:53

went in and near missing it hit me. There's

20:56

no reason for that to happen.

21:00

My mine started going

21:03

like a was I abducted by aliens.

21:07

Someone kidnapped me and

21:09

gave me some had is derived and

21:12

do this surgery, and somehow

21:15

was none, the wiser did wake

21:17

up in bed and just never know.

21:20

don't even have missing time where

21:22

I'm thinking back to where, oh, you know,

21:24

at that was a really weird experience

21:26

where I woke up in a stranger's house.

21:28

They were married, teacher

21:31

with such filed. There's no

21:33

time the in place where that

21:35

would have even been possible.

21:38

The remind us girls who am

21:40

I in another dimension. We

21:43

all have weird things have and but this is

21:46

something that you can explain away.

21:48

Then. You don't have to

21:50

lose a full opie and tube due

21:52

to surgery that just doesn't happen, he

21:54

don't wake up and you know there's miss serious

21:57

surgery that you don't remember. My

22:01

husband is very. He

22:04

went with sad original explanation

22:06

of it had to have been the first softer

22:09

that did it and somehow got all of the

22:11

team to agree to lie about it

22:13

he. would never cinco of as aliens

22:16

or it was this sir it was that I

22:19

would you remember something happened to

22:21

like that? They

22:24

did end up contacting this woman

22:26

who claims to be a sight gag just

22:28

because I was like wanna know what happened to

22:30

my flow into. In

22:33

her mind, she saw aliens

22:35

take it. tried to

22:37

be open minded about the news and.

22:40

That was her explanation.

22:42

Then I just really don't know don't

22:45

know what happens.

22:47

When a good share my story, I

22:50

had a lot of people are applies to me was

22:52

very similar stories. Where

22:55

they would go in for scheduled surgery

22:57

and some saying was. That

23:01

that, should have been there. that something

23:03

was surgically removed and

23:05

it was really shocking to see

23:08

how many people had actually had similar

23:10

experiences Not

23:12

specifically to fallopian tube,

23:15

to other things were there was just sees

23:17

unexplained surgery, is

23:19

where people had no recollection, no

23:21

time in their life where they would have had surgery

23:24

like this. Dr.

23:27

Never did have an explanation. He

23:30

never came back and said this is what I think

23:32

happened, he just kind of stayed

23:34

quiet and soak historian just

23:36

me being a new mom and making sure

23:38

everything went well from that point on it. Whenever

23:42

I see sessions he did do was

23:44

for a woman with an unexplained, missing,

23:47

fluffy and soup. Baffling.

23:57

Hello.

24:00

Okay well so bad news

24:03

I. guess i didn't actually witness actually cold blooded killing

24:06

They called the proper authorities and it turns.

24:09

out my neighbor was simply real post during

24:11

the couch while watching a highly explicit

24:13

adult video at full volume I

24:16

should have known that be a perfectly rational

24:19

explanation. Haven't we all

24:21
