First off, I have never really had anything paranormal happen to me all my relatively short life (25 years). Being a scientist, it never really made much sense to believe in something that can’t be proven. However, that all changed that one night.
About 4 years ago, I was attending a college in Southern Arkansas for my bachelor’s in biology. My then girlfriend and I didn’t have much money, so we shared an on campus apartment so our scholarships would cover the rent. This complex was on the outskirts of campus, right next to a rather large pine forest that some people went to to smoke, but you could always hear them. In between the forest and our apartment was a dirt parking lot. Our apartment sat on the first floor of the complex on the side closest to the tree line.
We came back to the apartment after grocery shopping one night. After bringing all the groceries in, I decided to sit out on the patio, looking at the forest and the night sky. It was a nice, spring Arkansas night with not a cloud in the sky, so this didn’t surprise my girlfriend. She went inside and I sat down. As I’m listening to the whip-poor-wills, I notice a green light coming from just behind the tree line. It was blinking relatively slow and looked as if it was around someone’s neck and that thing was digging. Not digging with a shovel, but more animalistic. Like a wild boar digging for grubs. It was making no sounds and seemed to be minding its own. As I’m watching this thing very intently, a car pulls in to the dirt parking lot, briefly flashing its headlights over the light. At this point, the light “stood up”, turned solid red, and darted in a straight line through the trees away from the car. Not like a deer running through the trees, mind you, but straight, without moving. I estimated that it probably moved about 40-45mph. Needless to say, I did not sleep that night.
The next day, I got up early and went to go investigate where the light was. There was a small opening next to a creek where I estimated the light was coming from. However, there were no signs of digging or tracks of any kind. I walked in the direction the light fled to. The clearing quickly went back to being thick understory made up of lots of scrub oak, greenbrier, and limbs. I could barely walk through without getting cut up, and I certainly couldn’t walk a straight line.
I do not know what I saw that night. I’ve certainly never heard of anything like this and I’ve never seen that light again. I talked to some of my wildlife management friends to see if they had tagged some animals with an led collar or tag and they looked at me like I was crazy. Doing so would make no sense and would reduce the survival of the animal. So what was it? An ET? A lost spirit? A person? Or an animal? I guess I won’t ever really know for certain.
Since then, I have seen many other paranormal things. I have stayed in cabins where the chairs moved by themselves. I have witnessed green orbs from the sky crashing to the Earth. I have witnessed spirits vocalize and speak out possessions my “friends” have taken from them. It all started after seeing that light. My question now is, why? What was that light? Why did it start this paranormal chain of events? Why?
