Initial data
Not all anomalous entities are exactly the categories assigned to them; Indeed, some seem to deliberately ignore our attempts to classify them. One such formation appeared in the unexpected setting of an army base in Cyprus in September 1968.
The witness was a British non-commissioned officer stationed at Dakeliya Army Barracks. One day at 3 a.m. he was alerted to the presence of an intruder when his wolfhound sat down and began to growl.
Fearing the terrorists entering the base, the soldier snuck to the door of his room. Outside, there was a eerie high buzzing sound, and the wolfhound immediately hid under the bed.
The soldier went to the site near his room and encountered an unearthly ghost. On the stairs to it floated the embodied head and shoulders of a humanoid creature.
The creature had a bright orange face and scarlet hair, and was wearing a blue jumpsuit. He stared at the sergeant with outstanding unsimimied eyes. Approaching the site, he turned his head 180 degrees.
The witness hurriedly retreated to his room and slammed the door. The buzzing became deafening. This was accompanied by a sliding noise, as if the creature was dragging on the platform.
The soldier grabbed the only weapon on hand - an underwater gun - and fired right at the door. The sounds suddenly stopped, but the non-commissioned officer was too scared to go out again. An hour later, a patrol guard found him still sitting on the edge of the bed, paralyzed by fear.
Although the witness soon recovered from the ordeal, his wolfhound was in a terrible condition. For the rest of his life, he was afraid of the slightest sound.
Original news
Things that go Hum in the Night
Not all anomalous entities fit neatly into the categories assigned to them; ghost, alien, demon, etc. Indeed, some seem to purposefully defy our attempts to classify them. One such entity appeared in the unlikely setting of an army base in Cyprus in September 1968.
The witness was a British NCO stationed at the Dakelia army barracks. At 3am one morning, he was alerted to the presence of an intruder when his wolfhound sat up and began growling.
Fearing terrorists had infiltrated the base, the soldier crept towards the door of his room. An eerie high-pitched humming sound started up outside, and the wolfhound promptly hid under the bed.
The soldier stepped on to the landing outside his room and was confronted by an unearthly apparition. Floating up the stairs towards him were the disembodied head and shoulders of a humanoid being.
The being had a glowing orange face and scarlet hair, and was wearing a light blue jumpsuit. It glared at the NCO with prominent unblinking eyes. As it approached the landing, it swivelled its head a full 180 degrees.
A Shot in the Dark
The witness hastily backed into his room and slammed the door. The humming sound intensified to a deafening pitch. It was accompanied by a sliding noise as though the entity was dragging itself across the landing.
The soldier grabbed the only weapon at hand – an underwater spear gun – and fired it straight through the door. The sounds abruptly ceased, but the NCO was too terrified to venture outside again. A patrolling guard discovered him an hour later, still sitting on the edge of his bed paralysed by fear.
Although the witness soon recovered from his ordeal, his wolfhound was a nervous wreck. For the rest of its life, it remained terrified of the slightest sound.
