‘Far from my only experience, but my most reliable one. This was in 2019. The town I lived in at the time experiences periodic flooding every twelve or so years, and the year of my graduation was one of them. After graduation many of my friends were on one of the roads between the towns. We got lost and then things started occurring. We missed the turn to my friend’s neighborhood, so we began driving on the road. We never saw the church that was the landmark for the roads turn. First were the lights, the lights dancing over the flooded fields. This most of my friends bore witness to. Some of the other things were only seen by one or two individuals. There was a total of five individuals in the truck. The next experience is mine. The people who were standing at the side of the road. I never made any clear sighting of them, with a few exceptions. Another one of my friends who was in the front of the car witnessed a large human-like thing dart in front of the car. I saw what was behind us. Though I don’t remember what it looked like. I’d say like dog, or deer but it scared me, chasing the car for a while. We eventually ran into a field. There were a lot of deer there. They looked at us. It was at that point that we knew we had driven too far and become lost. So, we, scared, turned around and drove back to were we had come. finally finding the church and turn off that we had missed to drop my friend off at her home. We didn’t say all the different things we experienced until after we were safely in her driveway. I don’t know how we missed the church in the first place. It has a bright red roof and even at night the cross outside of it is lit up brightly. I drove down that same road later during daylight. The road felt like it was much longer that night, though that was likely from fear. I did confirm that where we saw the dancing lights there were no artificial lights that could have made those lights appear. Only fields. I even arrived at where we saw the many, many deer in a short order. There are a lot of fairies and strange things that occurs in that town. I have met more than one individual that claims to have meet a fairy there. It’s strange. Though a year or two after the flooding the fairy mushroom rings that appear all over town were nowhere to be seen. Though they have reappeared now. I do regret not having written down exactly what happened at the time. Because fear blurs the memory for me.’ ‘The many colorful modes of light. Then there where the shadow like people of varying sexes and appearance though specifics were indiscernible.’ ‘I don’t remember if there was sound. I remember my friends and I were talking and the engine of the car. It was not raining
