My First Noticeable Abduction
This event happened on June 28th, 2025. I've posted about it before on an old account, u/SkepticlBelievr... I deactivated it several months ago, I just needed a change. I was trying to avoid posting this story again, I was hoping to keep this account separated and focus on some new types of events I've been through that I know are fucking important to this subject... But I think it's important people begin to understand everything I've been discussing lately absolutely is connected to this subject. No matter how strange my recent posts might seem to you, I promise they're connected and even stranger in person. I think I'm beginning to understand a lot of the connections to the different parts of High Strangeness... I think in order to get more than a few people to listen, I need a different approach. So we'll start here:
>My First Noticeable Abduction
I was outside with my dog, Dani, before I fed her this evening. Around 8 pm. We're staying at an RV Park in the desert in AZ. In the middle of nowhere, there's nothing but empty desert outside the town in every direction for at least 40 miles. It's more of a truck stop and RV parks than anything else.
There's an empty field to the north of the park I'm in. As I'm sitting outside waiting on her to finish, a strange recurring noise (clip is from a year prior, April 2024: https://files.catbox.moe/cb2dq7.mp4) that I've heard occasionally, and that's I've come to know "intimately*, that was following me around over the previous year started up, off in the distance... It sounded like it was coming from that empty field to the north. I was immediately uneasy. It was the first time I've heard it outside of a campground outside of town, first time I've heard it in town. I hadn't heard it in weeks. As soon as I did, I felt like... "It found me". I was more right than I thought... It stopped after about 5 extremely tense minutes. I brought Dani back in to feed her, then decided to take her for a walk, almost defiantly. "This BS isn't going to scare me into not going out". I hopped in the shower, then got out and got her ready to go for a walk...
Leaving the park we take a left down to the T intersection to the north, then turn left again. I took her on the normal path we usually walk at night. That street we turned onto is running along the north side of that field that sound was coming from, and it's about an 1/8th of a mile from the camper. Not much moonlight so the flashlight is providing almost all of our light. The empty field is on the left; there's miles of empty desert to our right.
There's another street about a quarter mile down from the intersection we took a left at. We're a little less than half way down to it when Dani stops dead in her tracks. She was on my right but she fully turned to face the left side of the road with her ears up, quickly, stopping in front of me and facing that field, blocking me from moving forward. I point the flashlight in that direction to find out what has her spine spooked... I was expecting to see a coyote or small wildcat. Walking out of the sparse bushes next to the road, coming out of that same field I'd heard that sound in, is what at first looks like a man stumbling up to the road on two feet. Almost looked like he was drunk, or someone trying to walk through a deep snow drift and maintain their balance. It took a moment to realize something was off.
First thing I noticed: They didn't have a flashlight, even though it was dark. Then noticed they weren't wearing clothes... For someone to be out walking around unclothed in the dark without a flashlight... It was immediately unsettling. It got worse once I noticed their skin. Deep dark brown, and shiny, like it was wet. Points of light are reflecting back at me. The skin is black in some spots. Almost like a burn victim...
When I noticed they didn't have a head, that's when I started screaming. "What the fuck is that?!?", over and over. I'm not sure if I was expecting an answer... My mind was simply rebelling against what was in front of me. It's still walking closer, but it's walking at an angle towards my left, towards the direction we came from, like it was trying to get behind us. (In the AI generated image above, it's close but not perfect; there was no neck; it's accurate enough to be uncomfortable to look at, though)
Once it got to the side of the road a few steps later, it stopped mid stride... puts one leg forward... then bends over at the waist 90 degrees and spreads its arms out in what looks vaguely like a theater bow and froze in that position. It's roughly 10 feet from us. My screams became non verbal; involuntary and at the top of my lungs. The screams were being unleashed before I even knew I was going to. It bending over to take a bow and then freezing like that was so strange... I didn't know how to process it. It was unnatural. I've never in my life been terrified to the point I started screaming uncontrollably. This whole experience was completely outside my frame of reference. I lost control.
One weird thing is it was somehow completely silent the whole time. I didn't hear it stepping on the ground. I didn't hear the bushes it brushed against, and I saw them move. Audibly, it might as well have not been there. It felt surreal. I don't remember Dani making a sound, either. She never barked at it. If she was growling, my screams drowned her out.
Once I started screaming uncontrollably the thing didn't turn towards me. It remains frozen in place. Any hope I had that maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me because the person scared me coming up on us like that... They vanished. I was fucking screaming at this thing, 10 feet from it, at concert level... I lost my voice for a week after. It gave me nothing. It didn't flinch. It didn't so much as twitch a single muscle. Whatever that thing was, it wasn't human. No way I wouldn't have scared the hell out of a person THAT close to me, it was literally 10 feet away.
Within several seconds of it freezing in place I finally gained the ability to move. I had been frozen in place with fear, but not paralyzed. I turned and started sprinting down the street to my right, still screaming at the top of my lungs, I couldn't stop.... We get maybe 30-40 feet before I start getting scared it might have followed us. I stop running and finally managed to stop screaming, but I keep walking quickly, "What the fuck... What the fuck WAS that?!?" I kept turning back with the flashlight every few steps just to make sure it wasn't following me.
The first time I looked back was when I saw the white SUV for the first time. When I first saw the being in front of us beside the road, I could still see the intersection we had come from in my peripheral to my left. I don't remember a car coming from any direction... When I first looked back a few moments later it was already on the street near the intersection we came from, driving towards us, like it had just appeared on the street. I could still see that being bent over beside the road, even as the SUV was getting closer. I could see that the back side of it was being lit up by the headlights. I'm wondering if the driver will notice it, almost hoping they would just so I could see them react to it. To reassure me I was actually seeing this fuckin thing.... They didn't. They kept driving normally, and kind of slowly for the street we were on.
Where it gets weird is when the SUV passes us. I remember stepping to the left side of the road so they had room to pass, but looking past the car. Terrified of it using this opportunity to get up and come after us. My eyes are glued on that being while the car passes us by, moving at normal speed, and moves out of view behind me. I didn't even glance at it. The being is still plainly visible by the light from my flashlight. A moment later I turned around just to see where I was going...
The instant I turned around I'm no longer walking down the street on the left-hand side. I'm standing in the middle of it, disoriented, blinking a lot. Eyes feel sore, but it's not a focus at that moment. I don't remember making a conscious choice to stop. Both arms are relaxed and at my sides and I have no memory of dropping either of them (the strangeness of being stopped doesn't sink in until later). I remember SAYING something, but it might have been more unintelligible noises than anything else... This is when I notice there's no SUV. It's like it just disappeared after it passed us. We're about 1/8th of a mile from the nearest intersection, no driveways nearby, and I can see at least a mile down the street. No taillights. It struck me as strange at the time, I was highly confused and finally capable of making anything remotely intelligent leave my face, "What the fuck?!"... but it got immediately moved to the back burner.
My flashlight is still on and it's pointing at the ground. I noticed the beam was terminating in a bright pink circle on the ground. That's when I noticed the beam was pink, too. It was surreal, so both the SUV and that being were forced right out of my mind. I held the flashlight up to look at the lens from the side, concerned there was something on it... My eyes widened... There's nothing on the lens, it's still clear, but the LED looked pink, too. I ignored it, figured I broke it somehow while running and I'd worry about it and replace it later. Immediately got back to trying to get away from that thing by the side of the road.
Important to note here: I could no longer see the being by the side of the road, either. The last time I saw it was while the SUV was beside us. Pointing the flashlight back to where it was, I noticed that the flashlight wasn't illuminating the area as well, and wasn't reaching as far down the road, because I couldn't see that far with it. My fear level increased, concerned it would be easier for it to sneak up on us. Again, I assumed it was malfunctioning, "problem for another day", got back to trying to get us home safely.
Was not going to walk back past it, so we had to go the long way around, we took a left at the next interaction. My anxiety is at 11 the whole way back. Constantly checking in all directions with the flashlight just to make sure that being, whatever it actually was, didn't sneak up on us. We had to walk along two more streets just to get back to the RV park... It was the longest walk of my life and it was less than a mile. I started noticing pink street lights on the way back, too. Didn't focus on it, didn't know if they were normally that color or not, I was too busy keeping an eye out for that headless thing to remember. Every direction around us had my full attention at all times.
We got back to the street the RV park is on and turned left. On the corner of that intersection is a 2 story building that functions as the office for the RV park right next to the one we're in. Coming out from the side of that building is when I noticed the moon for the first time (it wasn't up when we left, but that detail escaped me at that moment)... It was pink, too. Every light source I could see in every direction... was fucking pink. I started losing my shit a bit. I knew at that moment that there was nothing wrong with my flashlight... My first and only thought was I had been abducted and wasn't really experiencing what I thought I was. I was scared I was locked in a crazy advanced simulation or was inside a screen memory and they messed up the settings or something.
Got all the way back to the camper, got inside, and called one of my friends over the Signal app. And it kept messing up, no matter who called who. There was no audio, for either of us, even though the calls were going through instantly. 6 calls, 6 connections, 6 times we both heard deathly silence. My anxiety peaked higher than it's ever been in my life. It was reaffirming my previous thoughts about being stuck in a simulation.
I sent my friend my phone number and had her call my phone directly. Something I generally avoid doing, but I was in a bad spot, desperate to hear someone's voice. Hoping it was just an issue with the app... When the phone rang and I picked it up, and she was there, I completely lost it. I started crying. Balling... I've never in my life felt such relief just to hear someone else's voice. The surrealness faded.
I noticed while on the phone with her that every light was still pink, too. Even inside my trailer... Also recognized for the first time that my eyes were sore and I had a slight headache. I realized the pink vision, and my flashlight illuminating the road as well, were because there was something wrong with my eyes...
I got off the phone with her after detailing as much as I could remember at that moment, then climbed onto the bed to lie down. I was still highly stressed out after 10 minutes, so I decided to go into the bathroom to smoke. Whenever I smoke inside it's in the bathroom with the vent fan on to keep the smoke away from her. She was laying at the end of the bed, across it, dissociating, so I had to climb over her. I noticed this "shiny" spot on her leg when I did. Instantly seemed strange. I was worried that the headless thing had thrown something and it got stuck to her, so I grabbed my flashlight to find out what it was...
My heart stopped. It was blood... It was fucking BLOOD. She had a wound on her leg and it was bleeding lightly. There seemed to be some hair missing around it. It wasn't there before we left to go walk... I lost my shit completely when I saw it. Something had happened to her that I couldn't explain. I immediately took a picture of it to send to some friends (included in the post). I then looked at her face for the first time since I saw that headless thing by the side of the road. I was so wrapped up in how I felt about what I remembered, and getting her home safe, I didn't stop to think about how she might have processed it... I was horrified by what I saw: She was heavily traumatized. I've never seen the look I saw in her eyes that I saw night... She looked more traumatized than I felt. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of her face because I never wanted to see it that way again. And I couldn't explain why she looked that way..... The realization slowly sunk in.... "How fucking long were we actually gone?!?!"
I immediately went into my phone after recognizing I likely had missing time. I needed to find out exactly when I messaged my friend on Signal the second we were back inside... 10:15. We left around 9. The path we took is only a little over a mile and normally a 20 minute walk, and we did it FAST that night I get home safe. I only have about 15 minutes worth of memories... There was at least a full hour I couldn't account for.
It took a day to understand: The pink vision. It's likely I saw some extremely bright lights at some point during the missing hour I couldn't remember seeing. I was traumatized by the realization. We were both taken, something happened to both of us, and I had no memories to explain what occurred. The look on her face told me she didn't have that issue. I think she remembered every moment...
The wound on Dani's leg: there were some strange details about it. Initially thought maybe something had stabbed her or injected her with something while we were running. But there was some dried blood above the wound itself, higher on her leg, so she had to be on her side or her back when it happened. We didn't stop once on that walk, so she had no chance to lie down from what I remember. But it was still bleeding lightly, so it was fresh that night... And the wound itself is small, but it looked square. Like someone or something took a tiny sample of her skin. I don't own any kind of knives capable of it, no scalpels, and I'm not a surgeon, so I know for sure I didn't do it. I was sincerely not ok with it. She wasn't in a lot of pain, it just seemed sore. No whimpering, she just tried to pull her leg back when I started touching the area the wound was in...
We spent the rest of the night inside. We had every light inside the camper on, and multiple lights on outside. I was terrified to step outside, even to let her out, until the sun was up the next day. Didn't go to sleep until noon. I woke up around 9 pm, 24 hours after the abduction took place the previous night. I took Dani right out... That whirring sound starts up in the field again, in the same exact location. It ran for a minute or so and then stopped. It felt like a message. Whatever was happening, whatever we had gone through... It wasn't over...
