[00:01:41]Tonight's guest is Laura Sheets. Laura, welcome to the show.

[00:01:46]Hi.

[00:01:47]>> Well, hi Laura. Thanks so much for your time.

[00:01:50]>> Well, I appreciate you letting me be able to tell my testimony.

[00:01:56]>> Well, I'm glad to give you a platform to do it, so no problem whatsoever.

[00:02:01]Laura, please give us a brief bio on yourself.

[00:02:05]>> Well, sure. Um, well, I'm younghearted at 47 and I've had many, many years of customer service. Actually used to own my own insurance agency called Brook Insurance out of Marian under Goodman Insurance LLC. Um, before that, I sold insurance for many, many years. Um, property and casualty just because I felt my that's where my heart was at and bought policies and things. Um later on um I met my husband Philip who uh he's a jack of all trades. He's my a little bit my hero but sh don't tell him. Um he's a very good man. Very good man. I don't think he realizes his full potential. Um he but man he can fix anything. Um and I have two boys. One Emmanuel which I'm super proud of. He actually is a manager over at Aldi's and he just moved back from uh Florida.

[00:03:11]So, mom missed him so much. And I have a little boy who um the primary physician has diagnosed him as autistic. And both sons have taught me so much. Um professionally, I've gone to college over at New Life Bible College. Um, I didn't finish it just for the simple fact that I felt like I was to sit with myself and with God and articulate some of those things that I had questions on with that relationship.

[00:03:48]Now also real quick um I've also took many certificate classes meditation and I've also have a certificate that I'm working on on as a medical intuitive reader to help people track down the roots of their traumas, abuse and helping them um heal within themselves with you know the divine.

[00:04:14]I also do healing and deliverance um ministries where I have felt led also in my path. Um I'm creating a business called Eden Shine Cleaning Services and ETC which kind of reverses the role. So it's contract employees but they get paid and I kind of only take a small little tiny chunk while they do the hard work and get the bigger amount of pay.

[00:04:43]So, I'm kind of flipping the script on the normal work scene to give back to the community so people can work maybe half time and have full-time income.

[00:04:53]Um, I've also wrote a book, but I have not have it published because I'm saving up money to get it published and I have another book in mind for healing um that I'm going to be starting to work on. Um, so the first one is a book of mantras and explaining why it's so important for personal affirmations and and to kind of keep our mind with as much as we're busy to kind of slow it down and articulate what we feel, how we feel, and to get to the next step in our healing.

[00:05:26]Right now, I work part-time with a wonderful company, uh, Classic Building Services. I love both of my bosses, Miss Dawn and of course the lovely Valerie, who Vic heard about during my voice text with her, a few of them. So, I'm really privileged and really lucky to have a good family and of course my mom and dad and my grandparents and basically everybody I've had contact with in my life to to kind of guide me. And that's really my story, Vic.

[00:06:03]>> It always makes it so much easier to deal with experiences like the one that you had when you have such a great supporting cast of people around you.

[00:06:10]I'm glad. I'm so happy for you.

[00:06:13]>> Thank you so much, Vic. Means a lot to me.

[00:06:16]>> Oh, you're welcome. Yeah, that's just how it is. You were definitely a person of faith before you had that dogman encounter that we're going to talk about. Well, actually, your first encounter, but did that experience strengthen your faith? weaken it or have no effect on it, >> man. Okay. So, I think a little bit of ego and a little pride can always slips in, right? And sometimes when you're in the cup, like you mentioned yesterday, you don't always see everything cuz you're in it. And it takes somebody just saying, "Hey, you know what about this?"

[00:06:53]Um, so humbly speaking and humbling myself, I have to say I'm sure there's things that I've missed, but with my faith, my faith has grown because it does talk about revelation um and the beast. And it made me kind of think about that. But then I also see this beauty that God really does go in and inspires the divinity of name above names. You know what I'm saying? and how Jesus Christ is with peace and love. And even though we have things that may shake our faith or maybe storms that we go through, you'll hear different sides of this. People will say it's the end.

[00:07:34]What do you want your end to be like?

[00:07:37]And and that's really good point. But then also there's how are you in the midst of that storm?

[00:07:44]Are you seeking within to to heal? And maybe it's a trigger to something else or an aha um moment. Uh cuz trigger is kind of a negative word, but when you take it and you look at it as an aha moment within yourself, a self-realization uh moment, it kind of can help you out with other things that are going on too.

[00:08:08]And you know, it made me realize I had a fear of darkness. And I okay I might be 47 Vic but I have no shame in admitting to it I sleep with a nightlight but you know last night after our talk I thought man in small strides I'm going to do it you know so you know it it kind of can give you strength in the midst of your storm but we need not I mean you can look at scriptures and it can give you strength but when you're willing just to sit down And and as in Thomas, it says in the Gospel of Thomas, you know, know thyself.

[00:08:49]That means pulling off every single mask that you need to bear and that you need to share and you need to to see what what it is going on. And that's really hard. So to seek peace in the midst of that that turmoil that you're going through, no matter if it's seeing a monster or something or an event in your life, that's that's right where it needs to to concentrate with to see where the trigger is cuz everything always goes back down to fear, sadness, and you know, pain. And I kind of felt like all those things kind of came up. And you know, I've had a long time ago I was diagnosed with PTSD because of my first husband and as well as my son was abused really really bad and we fought in a court system for 3 years and I healed and I forgave and I didn't need justice.

[00:09:44]justice is is only it's blind because really it it's about seeing that Christ was with that person doing that and that's really hard to get to that point to understand things in a in a new new way a new loving way and I really healed from the sooulish aspects of those those abuses. That's why I'm writing these books and that's why down the road I'm wanting to open up a nonprofit organization called the two chosen sanctuary. Um, this is why I'm it's part of my journey. So, the dog man to answer your question was really a part of another healing of recognization things that I needed to heal still and peel back.

[00:10:32]Lor, it'd be big enough of a shame for anyone to have an experience like that where you're abused the way that you and your son were. But considering how benevolent of a person you are, that makes it that much more of a shame.

[00:10:44]That's awful. But I'm glad to hear that you were able to come out the other side in one piece and you're doing well now.

[00:10:50]So, thank goodness for that.

[00:10:52]>> Oh, yes. Yes. Thank you so much.

[00:10:54]>> Oh, you're welcome. But yeah, I'm just telling it like it is. If you've had a Dogman encounter that you need help dealing with, or if you'd like to be a guest on the show, please go to dogmancounters.com and submit a report. If you've had a Bigfoot sighting, would like to be a guest on one of my two Bigfoot podcasts, please go to my bigfootsighting.com.

[00:11:16]All right, Laura, please tell us about your encounters now. Give us every last detail that comes to mind.

[00:11:23]Okay. So, on um April 21st, um I work at a company that I'm contracted to work with in Mary'sville, Ohio. So, this is Union County. in uh Union County, Ohio. And I live about maybe 50 minutes to an hour depending on if you're going, you know, driving like me and at evening to night time, which is probably about 50 to 45. Okay. Um just because just like I told Vic, um literally in the last two years, I've hit four deers. Okay. And that was at 309 Marian in between Marian and Kenton, Ohio. So my husband said if I hit another deer, I was in big water to pay for my own car and my own car insurance since I work only part-time and and homeschool and and do schooling myself.

[00:12:29]So on April 21st, um I had worked later than normal, which I started at 7 and I'm a cleaner, part-time cleaner. And I left out of there, but I had had a problem because I didn't had there was like a clock in issue. So I contacted Valerie, my boss, and you know, text, "Hey, you're going to have to crack this. I'm so sorry." you know, you know, you know, they your bosses always work hard, so you hate to do it, right? So, I'm there texting, telling her, "Hey, sorry about this." And um and then I go to leave and when I look down, it's it's around 10:00. Okay. And I decide, oh, I'm going to go get Taco Bell. And so Taco Bell's about 15 minutes away.

[00:13:24]um you know that late. Yeah, probably about 10 minutes away, no traffic. Get over there to go get my Taco Bell. I don't remember what I ordered, but I was traveling, eating it, got done eating it, and this was a night which was odd because I I was thinking to myself, I don't need the radio. I don't need uh to listen to a talk show host. Um you know, I just want silence.

[00:13:51]I've been on my phone a little bit too much. So, I go and about maybe about 10 minutes, I look down and I'm like, "What the heck?

[00:14:02]What's going on here?" Now, it's like 11 11 like 10. You know what I'm saying?

[00:14:08]It's like an hour distance or an hour time escape. And I'm like, how where did the time go? And I'm trying to question how did this work out this way? How where did this go? you know, and I was like, honestly, I was in some sort of confusion.

[00:14:28]And I I I just don't understand where the time had went. And so, literally what happened was I all of a sudden I started having this feeling. And of course, it's dark out. It's nighttime.

[00:14:44]you know, it went from around 10 something to now around 11 something and my stomach's real upset and I just didn't, you know, just something was seemed off to me and immediately I'm like, I have this feeling I need to text Valerie who um I'm friends with. She's my boss, but she's also my my friend, too.

[00:15:08]And I I text her. I say, "Valerie," I said, "I don't know what it is, but I got to tell you, don't be out past 10:30. I'm telling you something. I feel like something's really off. We're not supposed to be we're not supposed to be out past 10:30ish." I mean, and I'm just throwing out a time like don't be be out late. In other words, you know what I'm saying? Um, but I threw a time like, "Hey, like, you know, don't be out." And I said, "I have this really bad feeling.

[00:15:39]I don't know what it is. I just just something doesn't seem right. Just for the next couple weeks at least. Let's not be out this late. I'm not going to be out this late. And I voice texted her to her. Okay. Now, of course, she's probably busy working on an account or she could be sleeping for all I know, Vic.

[00:16:00]But but anyway, uh I didn't get a response and it was okay because it wasn't like I was expecting one, but normally she'd get right back with me.

[00:16:08]Okay. So, I'm about 10 minutes up the road at this point. I'm still not I still don't know what like I know the time has moved. I'm still kind of thinking about it and kind of thinking what the heck is going on. Why am I feeling the way I'm feeling?

[00:16:27]When I look down, I noticed the time was an hour later. Like I said, you know, I noticed these times and I noticed, like I said, the just something's off and I'm thinking about why why am I feeling this way and about probably about 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes up the road, um, and I have my brights on. I'm the only one on 31 coming out of Mount Victory and that late at night time cuz at this point it's 11 something like I said the there was an hour that that disappeared and I'm thinking okay nobody has got their house lights on you know it's quiet it's it's dark out I'm the only one on the road and I have my brights on and I'm I'm going about 45 50 like I like I told And next thing I see, I see movement.

[00:17:29]That's all I seen was movement on the left hand side. So, southbound on 31, but it wasn't on the road and it wasn't in the ditch. Okay. It was probably um either at the edge of the field area slash maybe a little bit of a table distance. Maybe not like a eight foot table, but you know, a small sized, you know, like hobby table distance, you know, as a guesstimate. And I could I could just see a figure. And what I could see was is it was looking toward like it was it the way the best way I could describe it is it was like its hips were were faced towards me like it body was faced towards me, but it was turned looking towards the the field, the inside of the field. And how I know that is because I could see it turning its uh upper torso and I can see its arms swinging. Its arms weren't collected together, you know, on its body. They were hanging like loosely by it. And there so I could literally see the the darkness between the arm and the um and the the rib area on both sides.

[00:18:49]And literally it turned and when it turned and its torso and it was looking at me um I I mean I didn't see anything.

[00:18:59]I didn't see eyes right away. I mean I knew it was looking at me. Definitely could feel it. But then it closed its eyes or something. And and as it opened, I could see a yellow slow like little by little yellow light coming up and it was like you could see like two light two eyes glowing essentially and they were yellow like a really weird yellow collar.

[00:19:33]It actually shut its eyes and then opened them up again. And I can see it again that same way where it slowly opened them. And I can see the the light coming um you know versus just like shut off and then boom, it's not back on. You know, like you shut off your car light, it's off. It wasn't like that. I could literally see it go down and then um you know appear slowly you know and next thing I I like I said I I was to myself I was thinking Lord Jesus you know what what is going on here you know and I'm looking and I'm and I looking at the height looking at it had turned and next thing I know I'm noticing that it has something on its head and I I don't know what it was and I know how it sounds, but it was like a I don't know. It looked like I don't know kind of like the I'm not going to say it was a shield. I'm not going to say it was it could have been a trash can lid for all I know. But there was this shape that was kind of like a trash can lid where it's kind of indented. It looks like a shield or a shield. And it was on its head and it was it was the distance of the width was probably, you know, shoulders. You know what I'm saying? The circumference of its shoulder area. So, I don't know what the heck that was, but that I seemed, you know, plain as day. And then I start thinking, okay, wait a minute. I need to see what the heck this is. And you know how you're like you're trying to articulate and focus, you know, as as everything is going by, it seems so slow, right? And so I'm looking and I could see on its arm fur or I guess hair, it was gray, dark gray, and it was about maybe about 2 in an inch and a half to two inches around that that area.

[00:21:52]Um, and but it was gray. It was, you know, but you see like this gray maybe the skin. I I don't know. I don't know what it was, but but that's what I seen. And as I like go right past it, its eyes still kept the this yellow the yellow collar. And you know, I'm going like I said, 45 to 50. And I'm thinking I got to hurry home. So, um, forgiveness to the, you know, the patrolling people around that that time on that road. Normally I don't speed. I'm 45 to 50, but that night I did, I sped all the way home and I ran in the house. And as I was running in the house, I went uh back behind the car and I'm looking at the moon cuz I didn't notice it before. But of course, I was at that point I'm praying on the way like I don't know what I saw. You know, it looked like a dog man, you know, and you know, what am I going to do with this? you know, um you know, I got to hurry up and take the the puppy out, you know, because she's going to have go pee, you know, and my husband's going to be asleep. And so I'm kind of thinking all these things. I pull in the driveway where we kind of sit, our house sits about 15 to 20 minutes um from where I had seen what I seen. And I believe it was before 3:47 um that I actually seen what I would call the dog man. And probably about 5 minutes around that time zone give or take. I I really wasn't looking at the time at that moment. But after I did see the dog man, I did look and it was 11:24.

[00:23:53]And so just an FYI.

[00:23:56]Um, now when I got home, like I said, I speeded all the way home cuz I, you know, I knew I was going to have to let the puppy out. My, my husband was going to be asleep and I have a little boy and I didn't want to be out there and if this thing followed me, you know, um, that was on my mind. Is this thing going to follow me? And but I don't want to clean up the the house. I don't want to clean up a doggy mess, right? So, I run run home as quick as I can and speeding. I get home. I frantically pull up the the driveway and I stop the car. I go into the house and as I'm going in right before that, I should probably point out the the moon was different that night. There was like this really weird um light coming down and there was like a cloud beside um that looked like a funnel cloud beside the the moon, right? And I run in the house and I I say, "Go get the dog.

[00:25:07]Ay, go get the dog." Cuz my my little boy A's um you know, I go get him and I'm we're hurrying up and to take the dog out and I I go, "Ace, I got something to tell you, but just not right now. just get we're in a hurry. We got to get this done, you know, being a franic mom, you know, and a scared mom.

[00:25:26]And I I go out and I take the pup out to go by the the little fenced in yard.

[00:25:32]It's not too far away from the house.

[00:25:34]It's actually right there at the porch.

[00:25:37]So, it's not a big big spot. You know, normally you don't want your dogs to go where you're going to be walking, but at this point, I just really didn't care. I took and and I have her out there. I say, "Ace, keep an eye out, you know, at the doorway." And then all of a sudden, I call him out real quick. I say, "Hurry up. Get your shoes. Just hurry, hurry, hurry. Get your shoes. Come out here real quick." And he's like complaining a little bit like little kids do sometimes, you know, and granted it was late. He should have been to bed. Um, but he was up this particular night. And so he goes over there and he looks at the fence and he looks over the at what I'm looking at this moon. And the moon is weird. There's this light coming off of it and it's it's it's beaming down but it it's different than what normal like a normal super moon or a normal moon. The way it's shining. I don't know how to describe it. It's just like a light going down, like a light beam going down. And beside it is this huge funnel cloud looking thing. Like in one sense, it kind of looked like a big giant snake coming down type of funnel cloud. I've never seen anything like it.

[00:26:53]My my little boy, my little boy who who is gifted, um he says, "Mom, we got to run. We got to get in the house now.

[00:27:05]And literally he was pushing me and to run in the house, which is good. I I'd rather him get in there and save himself if something was bad to happen anyway.

[00:27:15]But he literally got in there and he is going a mile a minute. I haven't even had a chance to tell him what I saw down the road. And he is going a mile a minute about some sort of prophecy that God in his heart was telling him, but it was not by a voice, just from his heart.

[00:27:39]And and that we needed to get in the house. We couldn't go outside. And for the for for a little while, I I don't need I shouldn't be out at night time.

[00:27:49]That's what he said. I shouldn't be out at night time. But tonight was a a night that somehow in this tradition going back to this I think it he said it was Native American that there was this tradition or something like that where where these monsters go out and walk that particular night and this was it because of the portal some sort of portal. Now how is my kid going to know this? I mean, so I'm believing him because no kid would normal what how does a kid know what a portal is? I don't keep those things around him. You know, you know what I'm saying?

[00:28:26]I don't talk about what I He knows that I help people. That's what he knows. He doesn't know the Bible. He doesn't know anything like that because I want the the God voice in him to be be there with him. Okay? So, I want to share that right right up front. But he was telling me this and there's no way that he would have known. And he's just going a mile a minute telling me about everything to do with this prophecy that no child should know. And I did look it up the next morning and there was something about it. If you go research it, you can can I mean does it have a date with it? No.

[00:29:06]But there is a prophecy on what he said after so many things. It's like after so many um years it happens like like a hundred years or something like that.

[00:29:16]But don't quote me on the the you know the time frame but it it was there. I looked in the the next morning as he's talking. I'm not getting a word edge-wise because he's, you know, um, if you've been around kids that have autism, they do something called information dump where it's a mile a minute and you're, you can be there for an hour to a half hour and it's interesting and I love every moment of being his parent.

[00:29:49]So, I love it and I I welcome it.

[00:29:53]So I I go and um you know I'm not getting a word edgewise in I told him to hold on a minute and I text voice text my friend Val and I said Val I saw something this is what I saw. I don't know how to describe other than this. I I couldn't tell you you know exactly. I think it was dog man.

[00:30:18]I'm not going to be out working, you know, past 10:30 at night time. I'm going to be home by 10:30, you know. I'm not going to be out late, you know. It's not going to happen.

[00:30:30]And I not that. And I was I was scared.

[00:30:34]So, I'm sure she heard it in my voice.

[00:30:36]Okay.

[00:30:38]And I get done with the voice text. And I was at the corner of my couch when when I when I did it in in our uh treadmill.

[00:30:48]And I walk and is still at this point.

[00:30:52]He starts talking again and I get between my front room and my middle room and which is where we have our wood burner stove and it's where our porch, if you go out the door, our porch is there and that's kind of where we were on the side there.

[00:31:11]And I'm standing there cuz I'm frozen, Vic.

[00:31:16]I I'm telling you, I was frozen. I don't It was like somebody hypnotized me and I couldn't move. And then all of a sudden, I could feel this this stuff happening. It was like it was like my my stomach and my my insides were jiggling jiggling around and and literally I was I the whole time I'm like A's A's Ace what the heck is going on here because I was feeling it. I could get that part out and he's just going a mile a minute.

[00:31:55]He still hasn't even, you know, stopped.

[00:31:58]And it took me I couldn't tell you how long. I'm sure it was longer.

[00:32:04]I'm sure it felt longer than what it was, but it really scared me. And I've never felt anything like that. And I turned around and I I go to the other room and I'm like, "Ace, please stop talking for just a moment and listen to what mommy's got to tell you." I said, "I saw something on the way home. I just experienced this thing right here. And the really weird part is my dog, our new dog, uh she's she's she's new. We got her from Barely Used Pets and uh Urbana, real friendly nonprofit site and easy adoption process. And she was she was on the couch and all of a sudden she starts licking my belly and not like I wasn't wearing a top. I was wearing a top, of course, you know, but it was just strange that she just started licking my belly and it was like she knew something was wrong and it just felt like that and and I'm trying to tell a Ace I saw I think I might have saw a dog looking man. I saw something that you know saw something that was 6 foot five 7.5 and he was saying and I'm describing it and you he was saying yeah that's dog man and he was telling me that you know he kept asking me what color eyes it had and I said it had yellow like a yellow orangey color and he she he said um my little boy said it wouldn't harm me because it was that color. But if it was red, then it then it was it was targeting me, but you know, it sounded more like a um you know, I'm not going to say a warning, but you know, caution.

[00:33:56]You know, it could have been red. It could have been a lot worse, but it didn't harm me except for what I felt in the in between the rooms. And when I told told him the story and told him what I seen and he he he knew I was upset, I asked him to hug me cuz I was actually scared. I said, "We're not going outside. She's got to pee. She got poop. She can do it in the house. I'll clean it up." You know, and as we were talking, we could literally hear a wolf how.

[00:34:29]And here around this area, you have pack of coyotes yelping once in a blue moon, but you don't hear things like that. You just don't. And I could not sleep that night. Either could he. I slept on the couch down here and downstairs in the front room. He slept on the other side cuz we have an L-shaped couch. And I think at some point real early in the morning when I couldn't sleep, I had looked it up what he was saying, but and that's where I found out that he was he was telling what what God had revealed to him and there is a prophecy about it.

[00:35:12]And so after that um yeah my life kind of kind of took a a change you know I I became a little bit more fearful to go outside um and I I don't want to be out late at night time or anything like that. Um, and Vic kind of gave me a a u one, two, three is what I'm going to call it. Hey, take yourself out of this situation. Look, you know, you may need to heal a little bit more than what you you know, and I think that's that's a good good thing to look at. So, that that's really my my experience. I haven't seen it again. Um, I hope not to see it, but it's an experience that I've I've had.

[00:36:05]And um so now at night time when we when I go to take the dog out when I get home and I do try to stay getting home um you know before the 10:30 mark uh I I feel more comfortable you know but you know these like Vick said all these things have been here and we just you know you don't realize what's there what's what lurks what lurks in the dark sometimes, you know, that could be watching you and things like that, but and we we do sometimes take things for granted. But but then there's also the healing journey of what I experienced and understanding that definitely, you know, healing a little bit more and and is always a good thing to do. Like I said, you know, I sleep with a nightlight, but I'm working on getting the nightlight turned off.

[00:37:08]>> But yeah, >> well, baby steps all in good time.

[00:37:14]>> Yep.

[00:37:17]>> Yeah, that's what it takes. I'm glad you realize now that you're not any more vulnerable to dog men now that you had that experience than you were before you had that encounter. when you're out there in the woods and doing this and doing that and like I told you in our first conversation, I'm pretty sure at least on some occasions they were watching you. You just didn't know it.

[00:37:38]>> Well, yeah. And I was actually thinking, Vic, you know, the the day before April 21st when I experienced it. you know, Ace and I, my little boy, we had been over at one of the parks, the national park, and you know, and who knows, maybe it it followed. I I don't know, you know, I mean, it's just a a thought because I never experienced anything like that before. But, you know, you kind of pop off the trail and go back on the trails. You know, we're bad for that. But I think you can either look at it as something that obviously it didn't hurt me. I'm just going to look at it as a blessing, but also look at it as it was a reality that God wanted me to see too in some way to heal and mend because nothing is by coincidence.

[00:38:39]>> I like the way you think. That's a good way to look at it.

[00:38:43]You told us about that hour of missing time you experienced before you saw the dog man that night. Do you think the two events were related?

[00:38:53]>> Yeah, actually I do. Yeah, I do.

[00:38:57]Yeah.

[00:38:58]>> Yeah, you're probably right. They probably are somehow.

[00:39:02]When you first saw it, you said the dog man was just a black figure to you up on the road ahead. Did it seem to be standing up at the time or was it crouched at that moment?

[00:39:12]>> Um, it wasn't on the road. There was like um on 31. There's some areas where it has really deep ditches and I was going northbound and and I seen it on the the left hand side and it so there's the road, the edge of the road, there's the ditch and then there's the field.

[00:39:34]And I kind of think it was a little bit just a tiny tiny like maybe a maybe a hobby table small table distance from you know the edge of the road and I did I saw it standing up.

[00:39:53]I could see it like like where its body I could see that its legs were facing me but I could see that on the right hand I could see like it turn like it it was looking back. I don't know if it maybe there was something back there. It was debating on if it you know just am I going to see it? I don't know. I don't know what it was thinking. I don't want to do that.

[00:40:17]But all I know is I could see the movement of it turning like it turned and then like I said it was looking and then the the it was like the lights came on but it wasn't lights. It would been literally the the eyeballs started to to glow when it started to open up is what I'm going to assume.

[00:40:40]Um yeah, I don't know how else to describe it. at me. I could see I could see its torso move and I could see like I could like it had been looking at me. It felt like, but it was also at the same token the when the eyes opened this little bit of light, a little more light, a little more light, a little more light.

[00:41:07]And I'm going to have to say, I mean, probably a little bit. I don't know. I mean, from the distance I was at, I don't know. I I I would hate to say and tell that. See, I don't want to do that. I want to be exactly what I seen.

[00:41:26]I I couldn't tell you the measurement of the eye or anything like that, but it was it was enough for me to to see it from my distance. And it was like from my distance, maybe quarter sized, you know? If I was eyeballing it, I had to give a, you know, but when it opened up, it was just the weirdest thing because it was you could see it. You could see the yellow starting to get bigger and bigger and bigger of the the glowy eyeball.

[00:42:00]But when it turned, I could see that, too. I could see I could see it very clearly.

[00:42:07]>> You described his eyes as lights. Did his eyes seem to be backlit or did they seem to be reflecting light?

[00:42:17]>> You know what? I I don't think it was reflecting light. I But I don't I don't know. I mean, to me, it looked like Okay. So, you know, you have those um those backup yellow things. Okay. It didn't It kind of looked like that, but it didn't look like that.

[00:42:39]Um, it was glowy, 100% glowy, but it didn't look like that. Um, I went I don't I don't know because I I mean, it's first time I've ever seen anything like this, but I'm not going to say it looked like it just looked like it just looked like little lights. I mean, that's the best way I could describe it. But but I could see it shut and I could see it opening.

[00:43:12]It didn't look like a reflective type of thing, like you know, like a a a reflector off your bicycle or your, you know, or a backup thing. Didn't look anything like that.

[00:43:26]>> The reason why I asked you that question is a lot of eyewitnesses say that the eyes on the dog men that they have seen looked like they were back lit. So that's why I was asking you about that.

[00:43:37]>> I don't know what backlit kind of means.

[00:43:40]So that's kind of why I'm saying it that way. All I know is just how how it looked to me. It looked like it looked like glowing light. Like that's what it looked like. Like two glowing lights.

[00:43:57]But I could literally see it close and then open up.

[00:44:04]And I could see, like I said, I seen the I could see the impression of the I don't know how to put it kind of like the I didn't see the face, but I saw the kind of like the shape a little bit, you know, but not in depth because I could see the the weird looking shield thing, whatever was there or I'm calling it a shield, but I don't know what it was. It was just round, but it was weird. I never seen anything like it.

[00:44:37]>> Well, I'm sure you haven't. Talking about the shield, did it look like it had been made custom made for that dog man to wear on its head, or did it look like some kind of construct the dog man had found and just put on its head?

[00:44:52]>> That I don't know. I mean it that all I could see was all I could see was was darkness but I could see the shape and then when I went past I focused on the arm somehow I focused on the arm and I could see the arm as I was like literally going past and how how that was like the closest point and that's how I know I saw the arm.

[00:45:22]But the I I really couldn't tell you. I mean, it it looked like nothing I'd seen before, though. I mean, that was the weird part. It's like, it doesn't make any sense. What the heck would that be?

[00:45:36]And and I've often I mean, after it happened, I I've asked myself, well, that don't make no sense. Why would it have a shield on its head? You know how I mean I don't know if it I don't know if when an arm was up there but I know I could see when it twisted. I don't think so because I could see both both arms kind of sitting there. So there must have been something that allowed it to sit up there some way. Um, that's why I asked you, um, stupid as it was, why I asked you if if it was something, you know, militaryish, because I had no idea.

[00:46:19]>> Oh, sure. Yeah. What are you supposed to think when you see a dogman? Number one.

[00:46:23]But number two, when you see a dog man with what looks like a shield on its head, that takes it another step forward. So, I definitely get it. But understand, Laura, I mean, I talk with a lot of people about their Dogman encounters, and these encounters that I talk with people about have all sorts of varying elements to them. And it's not uncommon when an eyewitness has an experience with a dog man where they think there's an element involved that's really over the top that can make them reluctant to even contact me cuz they're afraid I'm going to think they're crazy.

[00:46:56]But I hope it brings comfort to you when I tell you that just recently, just a few days ago, I had a gentleman, real nice gentleman, who lives in Alabama contact me to tell me about a strange, strange experience he had with a dog man where it has some kind of a construct on its head. And because of that and some other elements in this experience, he thought he was crazy. and he really hasn't shared this with anyone because he's been afraid and understandably so that anyone he tells is going to think he's crazy as well. But I tried to explain to him no. I mean, if he only knew the things that I witnesses, credible eyewitnesses like you, like him have told me about experiencing seeing when it comes to their dogman encounters, I can understand why you might think that people would think you're crazy or I might think you're crazy, but I don't. It's not just him.

[00:47:50]That's what I told him. And Laura, it's not just you either. So, please remember that.

[00:47:55]>> Well, I honestly um like I told you, I before I sat down and I wrote into Dogman Encounters, I wanted to file a report, but my little boy, and now granted, he's 10, but he's gifted, okay? He's like, "Mom, this thing may know." You know what I'm saying? It's It'll know.

[00:48:18]So, I I didn't do it. And then after I talked to you, I even told you I felt like I should still do it. I should still report it because there might be a somebody else that sees it. But then I after talking with you, I kind of felt like if if somebody sees something, they're going to look it up on the internet anyway. So that's why I just told you to use my first and last name that I didn't have a problem with it because it was something I saw, something I witnessed. You know, helps me heal a little bit and I may not be able to explain it. I might not know what the heck the thing was up on its head, but I seen what it was. you know, the shape of it. And it did look like a shield. So, it's got to have some sort of explanation, but I'm I'm just not going to know what it is or or why even I seen it. Um, but like you said, I I believe everything happens for a reason. So, hopefully, you know, hopefully one day I'll know the reason.

[00:49:25]>> Yeah, I hope you do, too. Understand, Lori, that when I first started doing this, I was convinced the dog men were just creatures out there in the woods trying to scratch out a living, pun intended, any way they could. But as time went by, and I spoke with so many credible eyewitnesses who reported experiencing this or experiencing that, my view really started to change to the point where today I think dogmen have multiple origins. I think you have some dog men that are just naturally occurring creatures that are just out there in the woods trying to survive and doing very well at that too by the way.

[00:50:04]But I think you have other dog men who to explain their origin, they are supernatural beings from the ether. And then I think you have other dog men that were created in government labs in a test tube now that we have all the technology we need to do something like that. And then lastly, I think some Dogmen just might have alien origins.

[00:50:25]And that would definitely explain a lot if what you saw was a Dogman with a helmet on its head. Maybe one of the last two might have been a government operative, if there is such a thing. Or maybe it has, or it had, I should say, alien origins. I don't know.

[00:50:43]Well, you know, I Vic, I I I don't know, but I'll be meditating on it and asking God to provide answers.

[00:50:53]But what I can also say is I I told you before that two years ago, A and I were walking um to I was taking care of one of them um beetle bags, you know, for for uh collecting beetles and then you feed your chickens. So, I was collecting the beetles in the beetle bag and going to take them to the little chicken coop to feed the chickens, right? And in the middle of the field way up high, there was this bright light and it didn't have a you know like the flights uh you know, like a drone or a uh a helicopter or a plane. It has the little flashers that say, "Hey, this is I'm here, right? This thing didn't have it." I I don't know if it's any of it's connected, but you know, I'm just putting this out there, too, if you want to use this. Um, and literally, I mean, it was moving slow. I mean, we were staring at it and it was in the middle of the field. This thing was hardly even moving. It was so slow. And so, I'm like, "Well, I guess it's nothing." And so we went and I went and fed the beetles to the chickens and watered the chickens. And um by this time we noticed the light had had moved and it was just at the back of our property at the edge line. And so I'm like, "Hey, Ace. Well, let's go and see what the heck that is, you know?"

[00:52:27]So, we're walking our 2 and 1/2 acres and I'm walking back to the back with my little boy and we're at the edge of our property line and we're looking and it by that point it it had had to have moved faster than what we were walking to get back to this other tree line where the forest is by the edge. And it was probably about two oak tree high.

[00:52:51]Okay, to give you the distance. And this thing's just spinning.

[00:52:57]It's going round. And you can tell it's going round. Okay. And but you can kind of see a lot of the light, but it's just going round.

[00:53:08]And all of a sudden, these little things came out of it. And I don't know what you would want to call it, but it looked like, God, forgive me, but it looked like little drones or something. But I'm not even going to say it was a drunk cuz I have no clue what the heck it was. But it like all these things started on both sides were spitting out of it on both sides. And then this thing literally turns around one more time real slow. And then guess what?

[00:53:43]That light was right on A and I.

[00:53:47]And I'm like, "As we need to get back to the house, you know, I don't think we should be here, you know." And literally I turn around and I for whatever odd reason. I don't I I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Honestly, I don't. But Asa is like, "Mom, let's just walk the width of the property." And I'm like, "Oh, sure.

[00:54:11]This is such a great idea." looking back, hindsight.

[00:54:16]But I said, "Okay." And I we turned and a bat flew around us.

[00:54:24]And next thing I know, we're, you know, we're we're talking. We're just having a good time talking. And he's opening up and telling me some stuff. And we get to the the the middle of our property, the width of it, and I turn around and that light, and that's all you can see is a darn little light.

[00:54:45]That's all you can see. This is uh at dusk, so it's almost dark, but it's not dark. And and I I turned I'm like, how the heck did that thing get up there so fast?

[00:54:58]Because it was moving so slow earlier.

[00:55:01]And it was like I couldn't, as stupid as it was, it was like I couldn't comprehend how it could have moved so fast. And I start walking towards the house. I say, "As we got to, you know, let's just cut right here.

[00:55:18]Let's start walking towards the house."

[00:55:19]So he cuts. He's like, "Oh my goodness, how'd that get up there?" We both are like amazed that it moved so darn fast.

[00:55:26]And I'm like, "Yeah, let's just start walking really fast."

[00:55:30]you know, and so we're walking fast. I have farm boots on and they're a size higher, you know, bigger than my foot.

[00:55:38]I'm five and a half and these things are size like six and a half, you know, they're big. And he's got his little farm boots on, so he's not moving very fast, but we're walking, you know, and you know, I turn around when we get halfway between our our backyard and our barns and it's gone. I don't see it anywhere. And I'm like, where the heck did that thing go? You know, and Ace can't find it. I'm looking for it. And then I just I don't know. You ever have that creepy feeling that you need to look up? Well, I had that creepy feeling. The same feeling I had that night that of the dog man. I look up and I'm not kidding you there. That light was just right there, right on the left hand side of me. A was on the right hand side of me. I'm look I look up and all I can see was a light. A light.

[00:56:36]And I mean literally I I look at it and I say, "Ace, do you see it?" And he's like, "Yeah." I I said, "Run, run." And all cuz all of a sudden this thing just starts coming down. It is I mean at that point it was it was probably maybe at the top of our house level.

[00:57:01]Okay. And then all of a sudden it starts to shoot down and I'm telling A's run and run and I'm booking it as much as I can in my big boots that I can't run in.

[00:57:14]I'm sure it was a sight and and A's is running and I telling him don't look back because I mean I didn't know what to think honestly Vic and I'll tell you that's probably that and the dog man stories the only two times that I' I'd say in my life that I had stories that I would I'd have people that would have a hard time believing and this thing like I said I'm running I'm running I'm running I get to the barn Ace gets up to the house gets up to the porch. I tell him to run on in the house. Don't stop. Keep looking. Don't look. Don't look behind. Go. Come peeking behind, you know. Don't run in.

[00:57:54]Lock the door. I'll be up be up there in a minute. You know, I'm up at the the barn at this point. I don't see it anywhere.

[00:58:03]I get up to the house, get up to the porch, get in the house, and I'm like, "What the heck is that? What did you see?" You know, he's describing a light.

[00:58:12]And Phil, my my lovely husband Philip was trimming his toenails at the bathroom sink. And A is like, you know, and he's he's not getting it.

[00:58:24]He's not he's not registering that.

[00:58:26]We're both freaked out and scared. He's too busy trimming his toenails.

[00:58:34]And uh so he goes upstairs and Ace and I decide, well, obviously we're going to deal with this. So, we're going to look at look try to look up what it is that we saw on YouTube. And so, we're trying to find it. We see stories about people seeing giant glowing lights, uh, like light bulbs like what we've seen. I I I'm not I don't know how to describe it.

[00:58:57]It was just a big light.

[00:59:00]That's all I can tell you. It was a big light. I didn't see anything behind it.

[00:59:04]I didn't see anything connected to it. I didn't see anything.

[00:59:10]And suffer just a light.

[00:59:15]So, finally I go, I must up courage to go out. So, I take my phone out to take a video and I don't see it at first and then I see it across um diagonal from our house at a neighbor's house and it's like this thing knew that I was outside cuz it started coming back towards us towards me fast. So, I ran back inside. I didn't I didn't video it actually. Wait a minute. I did video. I think I might actually have it on video.

[00:59:48]that light, just a little bit of it being far far away, but don't quote me.

[00:59:54]Um, but I'm pretty sure I do have it on video. And then I ran inside and then finally uh my husband, my little boy, uh, is franic and he's saying, "Daddy, you got to go out and see what see what mama's and I saw. We got you got to go out." He goes out and he sees it and there was I'm telling you there had to have been I mean I didn't count them but there was drones all over the place like little tiny drone looking things. I don't know what they were. It was just little things and it it looked like I don't know. It looked like they were going back and forth and I don't know what the heck it was, but it was like these little things and they were like little tiny drones. And then before long you did see drones and there was a bunch of drones flying around our property.

[01:00:50]Now the next day um I filed a police report with Harden County or not a police report, a phone incident report is what they call them.

[01:01:01]And I went there and I even emailed him the the videos and stuff like that. So that's been reported and he couldn't describe he couldn't tell me what it was. And I also contacted um goodness gracious I can't remember what it's called where they keep all the track of of logs of who's up you know what planes are are there and things like that. I can't think of what it's called right now, but I even contacted them and they had no no information to provide.

[01:01:29]So, that was my second weird story.

[01:01:32]>> Well, see, that's the thing. If you contacted the FAA, they're not going to tell you about something like that. I'm sure that's buried deeper than you'd ever believe. But it's probably not in their best interest to let that type of information out cuz the general public wouldn't be able to handle it very well if they did. Your property is 2 and a half acres, you said. How close is your house to the closest stand of woods?

[01:01:57]>> Not very far at all. Um, back behind me.

[01:02:01]So, we have like uh there's like an L-shaped tree line and then it stops and then Oh, I'm going to say probably 2 acres maybe back maybe. I'm No, it's not really far. It's probably about maybe I don't know not even a quarter mile back behind us, you know? I mean, it's just probably a third. I mean, it's not far away whatsoever. I mean, we go out there and we walk uh to those woods sometimes, not all the time because we don't own them. Um, but it's not real far, you know. It's not real far at all.

[01:02:43]And it's a big set of woods and there's always deer back there.

[01:02:48]Well, if they're about a quarter to a third of a mile away, at least they're not right on top of you. So, that's got to bring you some comfort.

[01:02:55]>> Yep. Yep.

[01:02:57]>> That's good. Your Dogman encounter sure seemed to open up the floodgates for a lot of strange paranormal experiences.

[01:03:04]Holy cow. It really does make you wonder what's next.

[01:03:08]>> Well, I'm hoping for miracles.

[01:03:13]But >> the light encounter happened before that was 2 years ago. The dog man happened on April 21st, you know, this year.

[01:03:24]>> That's a lot of strange experiences in a very condensed period of time. And thank goodness, yeah, that encounter didn't exactly happen next door to your property.

[01:03:33]>> No. No.

[01:03:35]>> So, yeah, that's a good thing as well.

[01:03:37]Well, we're about out of time here.

[01:03:39]Laura, before we get out of here though, do you have any closing comments you want to put out there for us?

[01:03:44]>> Yeah, I I do. Um, I'm going to say that there's nothing by coincidence.

[01:03:52]And even though I may not understand the things I've seen and without being in a way where you're stuck with a a religious or a certain base of line, I'm just going to say know thyself and heal. heal the things that you think you can't heal because you can heal them and take it one step at a time. And I I really hope to see everybody later on and through loving eyes. That's all I have. And root for me because I really would like to see my business down the road grow and be able to help people and my two chosen sanctuary um grow and be able to help people. It's going to be a gifting post, not a nonprofit. So, just gift way down the road. Um, so meet your goals, follow your dreams, do the things you feel you can do. And each day have gratitude cuz we forget that. We forget that so much. And that's it. That's all I have to say.

[01:05:06]>> Lord, I really do like the way you think. And of course, I hope you never change.

[01:05:11]Well, thank you. I I hope I hope if I change it's only for good. And I used to joke around with my grandma when I I was little and I I would say, "Mom, grandma, why don't people grow old and they're they smile and they're kind?" I was just a little kid, okay? And my grandma would say, "Laura, when you grow old, grow old gracefully." And she explained it to me, you know, the way my grandma would do it. And I just hope to be graceful, humble, and with a lot of laughter and a lot of kindness in my heart.

[01:05:48]>> Oh, I think that's a guaranteed thing.

[01:05:50]That's just who you are. And yeah, I don't see you growing older any other way. I really don't. But having said that, I can't thank you enough for coming on share the details of those experiences with us, Laura. I really do appreciate it. And please remember, if I can ever help you in the future, just let me know. Well, I appreciate it and thank you. Thank you all and many blessings.

[01:06:13]>> Oh, you know, you're welcome. Thanks again so much for your time and have a great night.
