It was a very nice evening on September 15th, 1992. It was twilight. I was a, 9 year old, who loved to ride around on our Murray riding mower around on our hill in the middle of Benton since I was now big enough to get it started & pretend mow. We had about 7 acres in the middle of town which was a large hill with about 5 acres of field behind it that I rode my little dirk bike around in. This night I was on the front side of our property facing the electric company while pretending to mow the hill. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life as it seemed to be the beginning of a series of regularly occurring events that have plagued me, and my family since.

Like I stated earlier, I was mowing the upper side of the hill to the south west of our ranch style house . The riding mower suddenly just died. I tried to restart it, but nothing. Like it had a completely dead battery. My mother had come out to get me because it was getting dark, and she wanted me to stop & come inside. When she called my name from about 50’ up the hill next to our house, I looked towards her. That is when fear & panic encompassed every fiber of my being.

Behind her over our field behind a pear tree, clear as day, hovering about 20 feet above the ground was a cigar shaped UFO with lights only around the center of it that seemed to go back & forth from the ends to center & back, quickly & smoothly. I was so scared that I left the mower right there. I ran up to my mother, grabbed her by the hand, & forcefully pulled her into our house through the kitchen door, which was on the east side of the middle of our house. I remember I kept looking at it, never once looking where I was going backwards because I was too afraid to stop looking at it.

Once I got her pulled into the kitchen through the door, I locked the door, & started to panic & cry. I told my mom to sit on the couch & not move. I grabbed my 4 year older brother who was in the floor of the living room watching tv, & I told him to do the same & to not move. I ran to my bedroom, & I grabbed my BB gun, thinking that this was somehow going to save us. I stood at the kitchen door with my BB gun trained on the door, too afraid to move away from it. My mom & brother came to see what I was doing & why I was so terrified. I tried to explain, & my mother seemed to get it right away, as I think she took the gun & told me & my brother to stay right there. I don't remember seeing my dogs inside of the house.

I can’t remember anything past that.

About a month later, we were going to the Calvert City Drive-In to watch a movie & eat. I was sitting in the rear driver’s side where I always sat staring out the window. We passed a field to our left, & I saw it again. Tucked away behind the tree line. It could only have been only 80 feet away. The exact same thing.

Ever since I have noticed that I have severe insomnia & anxiety, & monthly I experience new places on my body that look like small scars, puncture marks, weirdly geometric shaped “freckles”, & small masses that disappear after a year or so. When I told my mother about what exactly I saw that night years later at around 16 years old, she told me about when she was growing up in the house that this happened in, she would have little people coming to her window all of the time. She remembers it going all the way back till she was in a crib.

Now that I have my own child, a three year old daughter, that I have noticed events similar to what I experienced happening to my daughter & possibly my wife, as changes in mood, & my daughter’s newly found fear of sleeping alone again as well as the dark. I fear that the cycle has started with her as she has mentioned “scary kids at night”, along with night terrors.
