Now on to the episode. Something in my head just tells
me to peek around the corner of the house and it just looked
directly at me. In that moment, I felt just
dread, just like, Oh no pit in my stomach.
I got to go. I got to run.
This thing is going to get me from HP Studio.
This is unnerved. Welcome back to the Unnerved
podcast. It's where normal people share
their abnormal stories. And if you enjoy true stories of
the strange and terrifying, then you're in the right place.
I'm your host, Chris Fricke. What if you saw something that
you only knew to be fiction, Something that defies your
reality? Would you keep it to yourself?
Would you be fearful that people would not believe you?
Or would you share that story with others, hoping to find some
answers? In today's story, Seth shares
how a typical evening in his backyard quickly became a
terrifying experience with something beyond our normal
reality. This is this story.
My name is Seth. I live in Akron, OH.
I was getting home from work and I would get home late into the
morning, you know, 3-4 in the morning most nights.
That night I got home around two or three in the morning.
I don't remember exactly the time I get home.
I parked my work truck. I go in, let my dogs outside
while I finish bringing my lunch box and stuff in.
As I set my stuff down, I go back outside with the dogs while
they're doing their business and I'm just standing there and just
have like a eerie feeling in the air, if that makes any sense.
So I let the dogs back in and I'm just kind of standing there
outside the door, just like feeling that vibe in the air.
You know, it's dark out. It's maybe a Crescent moon or a
new moon, I can't remember exactly.
But it was dark. You know, there's no natural
light coming from the moon, and it's pretty dark in our
backyard, so we don't really have lights on back here.
Something in my head just tells me to peek around the corner of
the house. I don't know what it was.
Just something spoke to me, said hey, peek around the corner.
So I just lean my head around the corner.
I don't go all the way around. I just kind of peek my head
around just so I could see around.
And as I peek, I look and I just see this figure standing in my
neighbour's fenced in portion of the yard.
I'm looking at it and it's bright pale white.
I don't want to say it was like glowing white, but it was
illuminating almost. I kind of like you shined the
flashlight over like a reflective vest and I'm staring
at this thing and it's just, it's not facing my neighbor's
house. It's facing the woods behind
their house, just standing there staring.
As I'm looking at it. I can see, you know, it's not
wearing any clothes. I don't see any like genitalia
or anything on it, but it looks like a fit male almost.
It's the best way I can describe it.
He's in shape, like it's been on the move type of deal.
From the side profile, I can kind of see like the shape of
what looks like the nose. I couldn't see any mouth on it
or anything. And I'm just sitting there
staring at it. I'm like captivated almost.
It felt like I stared at this thing for hours just looking at
it. And as I'm just looking at it,
just like wondering what in the what am I looking at?
It snapped its head and it just looked directly at me.
It had blacker than black eyes on it.
They're bigger than the average persons, but they weren't like
the almond shaped eyes you would see from like a Gray alien or
something, but they were big and black.
And it just stared right at me. In that moment, I felt just
dread just like, oh, no pit in my stomach.
I got to go, I got to run. I just booked it inside.
And I remember I slammed the door behind me and I just leaned
up against the back of it and I was like, this thing is going to
get me. This thing is going to come pull
me through the door. It's not going to even have to
open it. I was just terrified.
I just sat there for 40 minutes just with my back against the
door like that, just waiting. And fear, panic and fear.
Probably about a year or two goes by and me and my wife were
standing outside watching the kids play.
I hadn't told anybody about this.
You know, I kept it to myself because I was like, this is
crazy. Maybe I didn't see what I
thought I saw. I don't know.
And she's standing in that same exact spot that I was standing
at when I peeked around the corner.
She's like, I have this huge wave of like fear come over me
right now. And I'm like, that's insane.
And I told her the story. And she goes, you're kidding.
I'm like, no. And she's like, because I don't
remember how long before that, but she had gone through that
backyard talking with a neighbor.
And she's like, I stood in that spot.
And I felt this dread standing in that spot where, you know,
where I pointed to where the entity was standing.
And she's like, I felt that multiple times being there and
she had no idea. I never told her the story, but
she's felt the exact same dread that I've felt from it.
Now, I don't feel it every single time I'm standing there,
but I definitely get like a little like chilled on my back
when I'm standing there, kind of like letting the dogs out or
something. I get like a chilled on my back
like, you know, but like I've never felt that same dread
before. And I truly, I hope I don't ever
feel that same dread again because that was dark.
It was like I went to like a depressive state standing there
and once I got out of that spot, I was fine.
You know, I've, I've had other experiences here, but nothing to
that like seeing something like that.
I still can see it. Like I said, I can close my
eyes, I can see it like it's right in front of me, happening
right right now. Gotcha.
Would you say the anatomy of it compared to a human man?
Would you say it was different? Like were the legs longer the
shorter torso than a man? Like anything that was like off
skeletal structure wise. Can't remember the leg, like
might have been covered up by the grass maybe?
I can't remember the legs but I remember the body was longer.
Like it's torso is definitely longer than like an average
male. Like I said, it had no like
genitalia on it. Like the body looks smooth, like
perfect skin. It looked like a like a human
was standing there and I was like looking at it like huh.
And then it like dawned at me like well this thing is
illuminated and there's no light on it.
You know, that's what really made me go huh?
How am I seeing this so perfect? And then the ones that snapped
to me and looked at me and then I saw the big dark black eyes.
I knew I am not looking at a human.
You said it has a nose, correct? Yeah.
I don't know if it's like a nose like ours, but I could see, you
know, when you look at that side profile, you can see it come out
a little bit. It definitely has some sort of
some type of nose of some sort. OK, and a mouth.
Lips. I couldn't see a mouth on it.
It very well could have just had like a slit or something.
One of the best things I can describe it as from what I've
seen, like picture wise and movie wise.
Have you seen the movie Prometheus?
No, I haven't. The creature in the movie is a
lot buffer than what I saw, but the way it looks, how it's like
a pale white creature. No, you know, hairless is very
similar to like to that. It's big, it's tall, it's human
like, but not quite human like that picture.
Once I saw that from the movie, I was like, oh, that is really,
really similar to what I remember seeing, but not quite
there. Just, you know, take off a
couple pounds and they'd be pretty close.
I've seen UFOs here, so that's why I learn more towards it was
an alien of some sort, like a, a leader, like someone that's in
charge. I, I wouldn't say a grey because
obviously it didn't look like a grey, but something that is like
above a grey almost, you know, like someone that would be in
charge of that someone bigger because it, this thing was
probably like 6566. I mean, it was tall and
obviously greys are known to be shorter.
So I knew it, you know, I knew it wasn't something like that.
But now after posting in these reddits and stuff, I'm kind of
leaning a little bit towards the crawler theory.
That's what it seems like it could have been.
You know, looking at the sketches and stuff people
posted, it's not white there. Like this thing was in much
better shape than what those crawlers normally look like from
people's sketches. It's very confusing.
Makes my brain go in circles a little bit when I try to like,
nail down what I think it was. So when you said it was dark,
there's no yard light anything, right?
It's like the the skin, the white, it's just like an
unnatural kind of glow to it. And I'd initially said to
somebody that kind of looked like, you know, when you're on
stage and you got the spotlight on you and your skin glows kind
of when it's just you center stage.
But it's almost not correct either.
It's, you know, and it's, it's like a combination of like you
have direct light on you, but also like the reflection of
light from like, like I said, like a, like a high vest or a
high vest vest. It was just bright.
Like I could see it clear as day.
The white of it, you know, the paleness of it, just bright.
And when it was standing there, when you're observing it, before
it turned to you, it was it just standing there?
Was it staring into the woods like because there's a force
behind your house? Is that correct?
Yeah, You know, it was just just standing there staring like it
was looking at something. It wasn't, didn't have its hands
were down by its side or its arms were down by its side.
It wasn't like it was holding on to defense or anything.
It was just standing there just completely still.
I couldn't even see it like swaying.
Like, you know, if you're standing there for a while, you
start to sway a little bit. Like it wasn't swaying.
It was just perfectly still like a statue.
And then it wasn't till like it snapped its head and looked at
me and I was like oh crap. How far away, if you were to
guess? Like how far away from it were
you? 3040 feet.
I mean, I'm looking at this, I'm outside in my truck.
I'm looking at the spot right now.
Like I, I can see it from where I'm sitting right now.
So it was maybe 3040 feet away from me.
It wasn't far. And did you get a chance to talk
to your neighbor about it? Like have they seen anything
weird or anything similar? I haven't.
We at the time, we're still fairly new to the roads and like
it's just like A1, no exit Rd. It's one way in, one way out.
And we're still trying to like at that time we were still
trying to get integrated with the mini community that's here
on the road. So I don't want to be like, hey,
you guys got creatures standing outside like what's going on
here? And now they're they're they
travel a lot. So like I don't really get to
see them all that often when I'm home.
They even talk to them. But I am interested to go back.
Hey, have you guys ever felt anything weird here?
Like anything odd out of the ordinary?
I, I don't want to come out right out and say, hey, I saw a
white entity, like a pale white entity standing in your
backyard, but I would love to know if they've ever felt
anything odd. You know, I would love to know.
Have you heard of similar experiences at all in your area?
Have you looked into that at all?
I've tried to look up some stuff.
There's not really, I mean, this area, it's kind of strange
because we've had like Bigfoot sightings around here before.
There's been, I've seen stuff, people talk about seeing dog men
around here, you know, So there's definitely like
paranormal happenings around here because you know, we're in,
we're in that Appalachian hotbed area, you know, with Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky.
This is like a big hotbed area, especially with the Appalachian
Mountains right here. So we definitely have our fair
share of paranormal sightings and stuff, but I've never run
across something where someone saw, you know, the same type of
entity standing outside. I kept this inside for years.
And then my wife finally convinced me like, hey, you
should post that and see if anybody has, you know, any.
And then I, and then I'm getting people are like, oh, yeah, I've
seen something similar. I've seen something similar.
It's like, holy crap, you know, I never thought I was like,
alone and seeing it, but it's just like to actually see other
people come out back. Oh, yeah, I see something 20
years ago that looks similar and it hopped across the road.
It's like, holy crap. Like there's way more out there
than you know, way more people have seen something similar.
I definitely know we're not alone in this universe.
I know there's more to life than we understand, especially life
after death. There's, you know, I believe it
deep in my soul. I've always have.
But then when I saw that it like, I don't it like flipped
like that flipped and like, I don't believe obviously, because
how could that, you know, how could I lean that way?
But like just got even stronger. Like holy, like I cannot
believe, like I have my visual, like I've seen something that is
not of this world. Like there's every part of my
fiber. My being tells me that is not
something from here. I don't know if it's like
interdimensional, extra dimensional.
I don't know that as far, but I know it's not something that was
born here. I don't know if it traveled out
or if it like traveled dimensions or if it's from
another layer of the fabric of our reality.
I don't know. I've seen something that I
shouldn't have seen, but that after that night, I've been
like, you can tell me the craziest story and I'm probably
going to believe you because who am I to deny it?
You know, like once you see something like that, like what?
All it takes is 1 to be real. You know, like I said, I've had
some UFO sightings outside my house, like way up in the air.
That one that I've seen here and I've seen it 4 1/2 hours away in
Pennsylvania, the same exact thing.
You know, I've seen it the same thing twice in two different
states. You know, I've, I've always
believed there was some more to it, but then after actually
getting my eyes on it, there's nothing you could tell me that I
probably won't, you know, want to believe at this point.
My whole everything like shattered that day.
Like the whole like I believed it, but I never actually seen
it. So it's like, you know, it's
kind of fun to believe in this. And then I seen it and like
that, that wall, like that glass wall shattered.
There's like, oh, you know, like it.
It completely changed everything that night.
Right. What is reality right?
Exactly. It's like, holy cow, there's
just so much out there that we don't even know.
It's hard to discern exactly what Seth saw that night.
After doing some research, I found similar experiences, and
there are many types of humanoid creatures that could possibly
match Seth's description of what he saw that night.
Starting with the Pale Crawler. It's known to be a pale,
hairless humanoid with long limbs that crawls unnaturally.
It's silent, fast, and has large black eyes, and it's usually
spotted lurking at night in a forest or near homes.
The Pale Crawlers occur in many of the indigenous Algonquin
tribe teachings and mythologies. However, most evidence points to
the fact that the Pale Crawlers are seemingly an Internet
folklore invention. While similar creatures existed
before the Internet, like the Wendigo, Pale Crawler, sightings
and stories about encountering them started appearing for the
first time in the early 2000s with the advent of the Internet,
starting with a creature called the Rake on creepypasta.
Now, I can't say crawlers don't exist, but perhaps they are just
being misidentified as Internet folklore.
After all, how can we identify something that we don't
understand? What Seth saw could be linked to
several different humanoid creatures, such as the
Skinwalker or Flesh Gate. Seth also mentioned the
possibility of it being a tall Gray alien type humanoid.
A tall Gray is taller and more intelligent version of a typical
Gray alien, often seen as the leaders or overseers directing
the smaller Grays during abductions or other encounters.
With this in mind, I recalled a story that reminded me of Seth's
experience and could possibly be similar to what he saw that
night. On April 30th, 2023, a Las Vegas
family reported an entity in their backyard after seeing a
mysterious streak of light in the sky.
The family later described a large creature to responding
officers. The family says something
crashed into their backyard, prompting them to call 911
saying they saw creatures walking around.
Sources telling babies that were investigators that several
agencies believe something landed or crashed.
Whether it was non humans or not, it certainly scared the
people living on this property. Now, before we show you that
video, listen to their call for help. 911 Emergency.
There's a, there's like. An 8 foot person beside it.
And another one's inside and it has big eyes and looking at us,
and it's still there. OK, where is this?
On your property. In my backyard.
I swear to God this is not a joke.
This is actually we. Terrify of it so.
There's two people or two subjects that are in your.
Backyard. Correct, and they're very large.
They're like. 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot, I don't know.
They're they look like, they look like aliens to us.
Big eyes. They have big eyes like like I
can't explain. It and big mouth.
They're shiny eyes and and they're not human.
They're 100%. They're not human.
Someone calls 911 reporting two large figures in their backyard.
No, I'm still. Nervous right now?
The 8 News Now investigators obtaining another officer's
video as he's sent to the Northwest Valley home I have.
Butterflies, bro, Evelyn's thought of shooting stars and
these people say. There's aliens in their.
Backyard. By now, it's more than an.
Hour after that. Bright light officers meeting up
with the caller and his family. What'd you see?
It was like a it was like a big feature.
A big creature. Yeah, like I'm.
Not going to be yes, you guys. One of my partners said they saw
something fall over the sky too. So that's why I'm kind of
curious. Did you see anything land in
your backyard? Or they see like a big.
That's what they say. They see like a.
Big like a big. Something with light.
What I saw right now, I do believe in it.
Police walk into the backyard to investigate, but Metro blacked
out that part of the video because it's considered private
property. What's clear They're taking this
call seriously. Hey this might sound like a
really dumb question, but did you guys see anything fall out
of the sky? Asking others what they saw.
I would normally discount is nothing, however I seeing as one
of my partners said they saw it too.
Only reason I'm actually investigating it further.
That investigation turning up no concrete answers as of
Wednesday. Whatever or whoever fell into
that yard, long gone within minutes, OK?
It does. It does.
Nice foot beings come back.
Don't call us all right? Deal with it yourself.
That I ain't. Dealing with that.
So yeah, this is quite weird. Brian was saying during, as
we're watching this story now, we've been in been in contact
with the family in that video. And as you heard in that 911
call, they seem very reasonable and honestly quite scared as you
heard them in the call. No, they don't seem impaired in
any way. And whatever crashed by the time
the police got there was gone. But sources say that there's
really no dispute something was in their yard.
Exactly what we do not know. I mean, it's so.
Interesting. So like, the metro officers see
something, the neighbors see something, I mean.
So what could it? Be.
Well, we know that there are obviously a lot of military
bases around this area. George Knapp covers a lot of
that stuff for us on the 87 investigators.
We're showing you drone video from above that area.
And we know, of course, Creech not far away, Nellis Air Force
Base not far. I checked in with them.
They say they are not involved at all.
And we are waiting to hear from the Pentagon as well.
And you talked to these people, it seemed completely legitimate
to you and and do you have any personal thoughts on maybe what
it was? Right.
So it seems from talking to our sources that something happened.
There was obviously some flash in the sky.
A lot of people saw it that night, on the night of April
30th, early in the morning on May 1st.
Did that exact thing land in their yard?
I don't know, but these people said they saw some SUV circling
the area. Could this have could this have
been some piece of equipment that malfunctioned?
Maybe they saw something and then someone came.
I can't believe we're talking about this.
Someone came and retrieved it from the backyard in the SUV.
We don't know. This all comes as a former high
level intelligence officer, an air veteran, was on News Nation
talking about how there is a program where the government
collects some unidentified objects.
So this might be that, we just don't know.
Not only did what happened in Vegas not stay in Vegas, it
circled the known universe. The frenzy grew when reports
surfaced that unknown authorities had afterwards
placed cameras around this family's home.
The family was driven into hiding off the grid, out of
sight, underground. But ten months later, the
mystery lives on and looky loos and alien hunters are still on
the prowl. The family posted no trespassing
signs, but break insurance have been reported frequently here as
recently as last week. At this home tonight, a News
Nation exclusive, the teenager who made that 911 call is
finally speaking publicly at length and laying out exactly
what he saw that night and what has happened since.
Our national correspondent Alex Capriello joins me with that
live from Las Vegas tonight. So Alex, it's really compelling
with the advent of a year passing almost that they've had
a chance to digest what it is they've been through.
They have kept quiet. They are not looking for
attention and yet now you're getting information especially
from this 15 year old or the 17 year old that some that that's
pretty alarming. Yeah, and I found out from
speaking to Angel Kenmore that life just really has not been
all that easy for the past year since they saw that 10 foot tall
creature in their backyard right here behind me.
For him, he says that he's plain and simple traumatized by it
all. He says he can't sleep at night,
he's become slightly paranoid. He cries at night, trying to
make sense heads or tails of what exactly he saw that night,
playing it back over and over in his head.
You can imagine the torment that's going through in his
head. But to this day, none of the
family has a very good explanation about what exactly
they saw that night. But to their credit, they've
stayed pretty consistent about the facts and the details.
I really grilled him about that, trying to get him to remember as
much as he possibly could about that night.
Here's a portion of our conversation.
What do you remember about that night?
What do you remember seeing? Oh, start again, I guess.
We were, we were in the backyard fixing the truck and then out of
nowhere we just see a big light fall down and basically crash in
the backyard. And moments after, like that's
like a couple seconds after I saw the big giant creature in
front of me, the alien, whatever you guys want to call it, the
alien demon, What are you going to call it?
What do you believe it is? A demon.
Yeah.
So maybe that's changed that once you thought it was an
alien, now you believe it was a demon.
Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know what it is, you know, honey, God
knows what it was, but I'm thinking it's like something
bad, you know, not a good thing. Was it moving?
Was it? Doing it, yes, it was moving.
It was, you could see like he was breathing, like he was like,
like pissed off, like he wanted to do something.
And he was looking at you and your.
Brother, he was looking at me, yeah.
Did he say anything? Well, I don't.
I remember he was growling like a dog.
Like, like he was growling. When did it end?
As soon as I closed my eyes, I guess, I don't know, I think I
was praying or something like that and it just let me go.
That's when I went inside and, you know, I saw my dad and I saw
it too, felt like. It had a control of your body.
Oh, yeah, I couldn't move. I couldn't move, Yeah.
You were. Paralyzed at the sight of this
thing. Yeah, I couldn't move.
And you were looking at it for 30 or so seconds and then all of
a sudden it was gone. Yeah, that was pretty creepy.
A lot of people think that that's just hard to believe.
That, you know, like I said again, they can think whatever
they want. What do you say to the people
who believe that your family just made this whole thing up to
try to get attention? They can believe whatever they
want. You know, I'm not I'm not doing
it for if I did it for fame. I want to be on YouTube and
stuff like that, doing more videos, but I don't care guys.
I just went on take it on YouTube, made my story.
That's pretty much it. I made no money off this.
I want people to know that I made no money off this.
I don't need money. That's pretty much it.
They can believe whatever they want.
I bet you hope it doesn't happen to.
Anybody. Oh no, hopefully not, though I
hope that. No really bad experience, really
traumatizing. And Ashley, I don't know what
your impression of him was by when I was speaking to him
personally, I was really struck by how confident and authentic
he was about his memories of that night.
There's a lot of people obviously out there in the world
that would make up ghost stories in order to chase any sort of
cloud or fame. But to me, Angel came across as
somebody who truly believed that he saw something that night in
that backyard right here behind me.
Yeah, Alex, he didn't really seem to have canned answers
either. So if this was all a big ruse,
he's either a really, really good actor.
I mean, Meryl Streep quality. And you know, he certainly
didn't script it, didn't seem to plan out answers that, you know,
at the grasp. I do want to ask you about the
family. You know, this is the 17 year
old finally talking at length about his experience.
And he boy, did he ever add some details there that the what he
saw seemed to be angry and breathing heavily, was growling,
looking right at his brother and him, and that he felt frozen,
which is an account we've heard from other people who have felt
that they've seen something out of this world before, that
they've been frozen and unable to move.
What about the family? Does the family back him?
Yeah, the family does, although they're much less willing to go
public about it. I spoke to his mom, who
basically said that she has no interest in speaking about it
because she just feels differently than Angel.
She feels like nobody in the world is going to believe her.
Angel, on the other hand, while certainly not trying to publish
his case widespread, he feels the need to share it because he
wants the world to know what he saw.
And also he wants the world to know that his family is doing OK
and moving forward in general. The family wants the spotlight
off of them. Take for example, all these no
trespassing signs. There's at least four of them,
but at this time there are just basically saying, look, we don't
really want to talk about it anymore, but we still stand
behind the things that we saw that night.
For now, all we can do is speculate about what Seth saw in
his backyard, but perhaps in time, other encounters with
similar creatures will leave us more clues as to what was
lurking that night. Thanks for listening to
