WINGED HUMANOID Flies Over Witness' Vehicle in Calumet City, Illinois

 

The witness was driving into Calumet City, Illinois from Hammond, Indiana when she observed an unknown figure in front of her. The humanoid unfurled its wings and flew over her vehicle.

"Hello, didn't think of reporting my experience until my sister told me I should report it and told me how. Didn't even occur to me what it could have been and was left bothered and unsettled for quite a while. 

It was January 14th of this year 2023. I was on my way to work so it was approximately 5:30- 5:45 am and was a light rain and dark. I was coming from Hammond, Indiana heading west on 165th which turns into 159th. I was between State Street and Wentworth Ave in Calumet City, Illinois. So when I saw it, I was now in Illinois after passing State Street. I was in the left lane and there was only 1 car in front of me in the right lane. This car was about 6 car lengths ahead of me.

This is a wooded area and I saw something alongside the car in front of me by the rear. As I said this is a wooded area and I am always watching for deer, raccoons, and opossums. I looked harder and watched and thought to myself is that a deer it's running fast! Then I realized there was no way it was a deer. It looked bigger. Like I said it was a light rain, dark, and had my wipers on. I started to speed up because I had no clue what this was at this point. As I got closer whatever it was went directly behind the car in front of me, suddenly had a huge wingspan, and went up and over my car. 

I talked about it for weeks telling everyone how it was very unsettling and it's all I thought about since that morning. I take the same route to work Monday-Saturday and am always on the lookout and haven't seen anything since.

It wasn't until months later my sister shared on Facebook that she found out if you go to Google Maps and search Mothman that the locations of sightings show up. At that moment it all clicked in my head and I literally said out loud "Holy sh*t it was f*cking Mothman!" My husband was confused and I showed him her post and he laughed.

But from that moment on I was confident and positive that's what I saw!" BM

NOTE: The direction to the location is a bit confusing, but it appears to be the wooded area before you reach a Cook County forest preserve west of Wentworth Ave on 159th St. There have been several sightings of these creatures in the overall area of Calumet City, Illinois and Hammond, Indiana.

7-FOOT-TALL BAT-WINGED HUMANOID Encountered at Pilsen, Chicago Overpass

  

A Chicago resident was in the Pilsen community visiting her ex-boyfriend. As she was walking through the overpass near S. Laflin St. & W. 16th St. she encountered a 7-foot-tall winged humanoid.

"Hi Lon, just got off with you on the phone this morning. Here is the location and story of where I saw the Mothman in Chicago.

I had just parked my car to see my boyfriend at the time (Pilsen community). It was October 2019. I parked almost 2 blocks from his building. It was really late and I was walking past the under of this bridge. Standing underneath reminiscing, I saw a 7-foot humanoid, with veiny, bat-like wings. Faced towards the wall, not directly staring at me but just standing. I got super creeped out so I started walking to where I needed to be. But when I look back I know for sure that I saw something very strange.

A couple years later, I remembered seeing that creature and decided to do some research. Turns out, many people in Chicago, even just a couple blocks away, have also seen this winged creature." AP

Coordinates: 41.85978° N, 87.66385° W

Location: 1501–1649 S Laflin St., Chicago, IL  60608

NOTE: I talked to 'AP' after calling me. A very forthright witness who still seems to be affected by the sighting, even though it was somewhat brief. 'AP' no longer resides in Chicago, but contacted me after I posted a request for more sightings or encounters. Lon

Interesting WINGED HUMANOID Reported in Wilmington, California Skies

 

A supposed winged humanoid is reportedly seen on several occasions in the skies of Wilmington, California. Is there any relation to the 'jetpack man' reported at LAX?

Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team member Luis Castillo offered the following account:

Here's what happened.

My coworker was talking about having seen a weird creature. I asked him to describe it.  After which I showed him a pic of Mothman and if it looked anything like that. He said it did. I asked him to contact his friends and to show them the picture. They each separately agreed that's what they saw.

He told me about the following sighting:

2 years ago in the city of Wilmington, California. In this location is a huge ARCO refinery. 

My co-worker was with 3 other friends at about 2am in the backyard of his house just hanging out. 

Though not sure who saw it first, one of them looked up and happened to see this winged creature flying above them. I asked him if it did anything odd. He said no, except that it circled his group about 5 times before heading north toward the city of Torrance. Now, in that direction, is LAX, a major airport for Los Angeles.

I asked if he saw it after. He mentioned that they saw it again, but this time it was about 430am-5am. 

That it repeated its previous behavior except that it circled them about 2-3 times and flew off. This time towards the city of Long Beach. 

After which they didn't see it again. 

My co-worker then mentioned he thinks he saw it again 1 week later, but was unsure, so he didn't give any details.

Multiple Witnesses Observe CHIRPING, RED-EYED WINGED HUMANOID at Little Village Plaza, Chicago

 

The following report was received by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team investigator Manuel Navarette and posted at UFO Clearinghouse:

"I was just hanging out with my friends in the alley by the panaderia (Mexican Bakery). We use the alley and the parking lot to skateboard and just hang around and talk. There were 5 of us and we saw this thing standing on top of the flea market across the parking lot. It looked like a large man but he had wings that were wider than a car. It was watching us and it had very bright red eyes that looked like the tail lights of a car. It stood there making these chirping noises that we could clearly hear, even from across the parking lot.

It stood there for about a minute watching us, it made us all feel like we were in danger and that it was after us. It then shot straight into the air and flew over us, the entire time it kept watching us as it flew over. My friend wanted to run but we told him to stay still or it might chase us and it would lead it to where we lived. I silently prayed to La Virgin de Guadalupe for protection and this thing kept flying away from us and headed off in the direction of the arch. It made us all very scared and when we talked about it the next day, we felt that one of my friends’ ex-girlfriends might have sent it after us. She practices Brujeria and it just seems like something she would do. If it was meant to scare us, then it did what it was supposed to do as all of us were scared out of our wits."

Investigators Notes:

The sighting took place on Sunday February 5th, 2023 at about 11:00 P.M. in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, IL

I talked to the initial witness who made the report and he stated that they usually would go out to the parking lot and alley behind La Baquette Bakery, a local bakery that has been a staple of the Little Village neighborhood for many countless years. They used the area to skateboard and was a relatively safe place to hang out without having to leave the neighborhood. They estimated that it was about 1100-1130 P.M. and it was clear and not as cold as it had been in the last few weeks. They reported a clear, moonlit night and that they were relatively alone in the parking lot.

The entity was sighted perched on the roof of the local flea market which sits on the same parking lot about 50 yards from where they were. The witness stated that it was a pitch black, humanoid-shaped entity that he guessed was at least 7 feet tall but was unsure and that it had enormous wings that he stated were as wide as a car. The witness describes the creature had bright red eyes that he compared to the intensity of a car’s headlights.

The group said they felt scared like this thing was after they and one of the group felt like running but his friends stopped him, they feared it would trigger a prey response by the entity that would have followed them home. The witness stated that it watched them from atop the building before taking flight, even in flight the entity did not take its eyes off them and eventually flew out of sight.

When asked what the witnesses’ thoughts on this sighting were, he suggested that maybe it was sent by his friend’s ex-girlfriend. He recounted that they had broken up recently and she had been very upset over the breakup. The ex was known to be a practitioner of the Mexican witchcraft known as Brujeria.

I have reached out to the other witnesses through their friend and have yet to hear back from them, I will attempt to reach out again in a few days and any updates will be posted on the website. This sighting will be forwarded to the Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Research Team for further investigation.

NOTE: I have included several Google Maps screenshots of the location (below) with notations. The bakery location is 3117 W. 26th St. in the Little Village Plaza. The flea market (Discount Mall) is southwest of the bakery on the opposite end of the parking lot. The distance between the witnesses and the winged humanoid, according to the map key, was approximately 150-200 feet. 

This is the 8th confirmed sighting/encounter reported in Little Village (along with 3 other possible sightings in the same community) since 2017. Lon

WINGED HUMANOID Close Encounter in Wayne, Illinois

 

A Wayne, Illinois resident had an encounter with a winged humanoid while traveling near his home. The humanoid flew in front of his vehicle without the use of its wings, a common trait with these incidents.

I talked by telephone to an eyewitness 'AM' about an encounter that he had with a winged humanoid in mid-September 2022 at the intersection of Smith Rd. and Mountain Ash Dr. in Wayne, Illinois.

It was approximately 10 PM local time while 'AM' and a passenger was traveling south on Mountain Ash Dr. when he reached the intersection with Smith Rd. He states that a 6-7 foot long black human-like figure swiftly swooped in front of his vehicle, about 10 feet in front of him. The wings and arms were tucked against the body and it quickly glided from east to west very close to the road. The headlights illuminated the winged humanoid.

The encounter was so fast that he could not make out facial features, but the body and head were very human-like.

'AM' had not previously been aware of the winged humanoid phenomenon in the Chicagoland area, and he found out later after searching for an answer to his encounter.

There had been another sighting very nearby in Carol Stream, Illinois in 2020.

'AM' was very forthcoming in retelling the incident. His interest in the subject, since he is an eyewitness, should prove useful to our future investigation of this phenomenon. Lon

Multiple Witnesses Report FLYING HUMANOID Over Waukegan, Illinois Lakefront

 

A family of 6 members observed a black flying humanoid above them near the Lake Michigan lakefront in August 2020 in Waukegan, Illinois. Another sighting was reported nearby a few months later.

I recently received the following eyewitness account:

"Hi...let me start off by saying this. I believe that someone or something flies around Waukegan, Illinois. It was August 2020. My father had just passed away and the lakefront has / will always be a big part of our lives, from a kid until my 30s. I've lived by the lake and it has always had a strange feeling to it.

My mother, 2 nieces, and 2 nephews were with us and we decided to go to another side of where you normally go to the lake, just as something different. You know, exploring just trying to clear our minds after Covid and the loss of our loved one. We had heard the stories about the winged humanoids. I've made sure the kids know that there are things we can't explain in the area.

In the middle of a hot Saturday afternoon in Waukegan we all looked up to see what actually looked like 'Ironman' in the sky. We didn't see wings, just a dark black shape of a man. It was not normal. We all joked it was the 'Mothman,' but it didn't click until I just read the story of Bowen Park in Waukegan which happen a couple of months after our experience in 2020, not too far away from the lake and power plant.

I do believe in ghosts and tons of other things. I know things around here are weird. I don't know if this helps, but I finally had to tell someone. Thanks" SM

NOTE: I talked to the eyewitness in order to get more information about the sighting. The description was of a 6-7 foot long human-like being with a small head. There were no visible wings, but there was detail to the body even though it was solid black in color. The witnesses could make out the body contour, even well-defined chest (pectoral) muscles as it flew over them. The speed was not constant as it would hover occasionally. It did seem to be a living being since the legs and arms would change position.

The location was about 500 feet from the lakefront on Market St. just south of the Waukegan Harbor. It was a clear sunny day at about 2 PM. There were 6 witnesses who all saw the flying humanoid and similarly described it. Lon

2nd Incident: O'HARE 'BATMAN' Observed Shuffling Across Street at Fire Station #3

 

Chicago City Fireman at O'Hare Station #3 took one of the engines to get fueled. As they are approaching the fire station on their way back they observe the 8-foot-tall red-eyed 'Batman' shuffle across the road.

The following report was received by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team investigator Manuel Navarette and posted at UFO Clearinghouse:

"I was at work at station #3 at about 0245. As part of the normal routine, we take the engines to get fuel at the maintenance yard. It’s about 2 miles or so one way and the entire endeavor takes about 45-60 minutes depending on if you have to wait.

As we were headed back, we were approaching the firehouse when we saw something move across the street, it walked in a sort of shuffle as we approached. We saw two glowing red eyes that looked right at us and then disappeared. As we continued to approach the location our headlights fell upon a large black figure that looked like a man wearing black clothing, except he was at least 8 feet tall, super, super thin, and had a large pair of bat-like wings. It took off into the air and was gone within a second or two and we lost it in the night sky.

It scared the living hell out of everyone in the engine and when we got back to the firehouse, we all went outside to look for it but found nothing. It was the damndest thing I have ever seen in my life."

Investigators Notes:

This is part of the ongoing investigation looking into the initial report of a Chicago Firefighters sighting of a winged humanoid at Chicago O’Hare International airport. The witness was able to convey sightings from fellow firefighters at his station that was told to him the night of his sighting. They are being presented separately and attempts are being made to contact the original witnesses of each report. As the investigation progresses, updates will be posted to the website and passed along to the members of the Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Research Team.

O'HARE 'BATMAN' Encountered by Chicago Fireman at Airport Station 3

A Chicago Fireman, stationed at O'Hare Airport Station 3, was outside by his vehicle when he encountered a chirping red-eyed bat-winged humanoid standing on the top edge of a nearby building.

The following report was received by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team investigator Manuel Navarette and posted at UFO Clearinghouse:

"I work for the Chicago Fire Department and have been stationed at O’Hare International Airport for the last seven years. This occurred on Thursday, December 29th, at about 2300 at O’Hare Station 3, which is just past terminal two and next to the HVAC plant that sits across the street.

I was in the middle of my shift and, as usual, I would bring my laptop with me to watch movies and play games on. I was setting up my laptop when I realized that I had left my charging cord in my pickup, so I got up and ran outside to go and grab it and head back in. As I got my cord, I heard what sounded like a chirping sound, followed by what sounded like shuffling coming from nearby. I looked around and that’s when I heard the clicking coming from across the street, I looked up, and standing on the edge of the HVAC plant was a very tall, thin human-like creature with huge wings that were spread out. This creature was looking directly at me with a pair of large red eyes that had the intensity of a pair of tail lights or one of the lights on the engine. It just stood there and looked at me and made this rapid clicking sound. I was in complete shock at what I was seeing and just how large this creature was and how enormous its wings were, they had to be close to 15 feet from tip to tip and it had to be at least 7 feet in height! The body was thin, and its limbs were very thin and long. They looked like they would be unable to support such a tall body, but apparently, looks can be deceiving from what I was looking at. We stared at each other for about 6-7 seconds before this thing flapped its wings and silently took to the air, and within a few seconds, it disappeared. I stood out there for at least a minute before coming to my senses and realizing I should get inside.

I went inside and told some of my coworkers. Besides the gentle ribbing, there was also an air of caution (more than usual considering our profession). A few of them spoke up and said that this was not the first time it had been seen and that it had been seen around the HVAC plant a few times by people and around the airport by hundreds of employees, passengers, and pilots. They said it had been seen by a few in the firehouse, but it never stuck around too long and was more content with just staring at you and scaring the bejesus out of people. You can’t work at O’Hare for any length of time without hearing about the O’Hare “Batman.” It’s practically a legend in and around the airport, and people always claim to see it all over the airport. We spent the better part of two hours talking about these sightings, many of my co-workers sharing their own experiences."

Investigator's Notes:

I was able to sit down and speak with the witness during the weekend and discovered that this witness is a ten-year veteran of the Chicago fire department and has been stationed at O’Hare for the last five years before that was in the military for over ten years. He has been a lifelong resident of the city of Chicago and has deep family roots within his community.

The witness stated that his shift began as any normal shift would and that there was nothing, particularly of interest going on during that time. He did state that the weekend before had seen record-setting low temperatures and winds that caused the airport to basically shut down. The following week brought temperatures that were well above normal in the sixties and low seventies and the sky was overcast with light drizzle coming down on the night of the sighting. The witness stated that he had brought his laptop as usual so that he could catch up on a movie that he had been watching and that he was setting up his laptop when he remembered that he forgot his charger in his truck.

He stated that he went outside and retrieved his charger from his vehicle and was on his way back inside when he heard a series of clicks and had an overwhelming feeling of being watched. Stated that he heard what sounded like shuffling That reminded him of one of his children dragging their feet along. He started looking around and that is when he looked to the top of the building next door that houses the heating and cooling plant for the airport.

He stated that he saw a tall, thin person standing on the edge, and that person was looking directly at him with eyes that glowed a brilliant red. He stated that the entity was looking directly at him and made no motion while they had eye contact. When asked if he felt anything while staring at this entity he stated other than obvious shock he did not feel any feeling of dread or impending doom.

When asked to describe the person or entity that was staring back at him he stated that It was thin and at least seven feet tall and had a pair of wings that were extended from its back. He stated that the wings must have been at least fifty feet in width and looked thin and membraned. He stated that the entity had arms and legs that were very thin and abnormally long and that the entire entity was a shade of black that was so black that it stood out against the night sky. He stated that no obvious features were recognizable other than the two eyes that were brilliant red.

He stated that the entity then began to slowly flap its wings and took off by jumping off the building and flying away into the night in a southerly direction. When asked if it disappeared into the night he stated that it was visible because the black stood out against a grey sky that was backlit by all the light at the airport for a few seconds before it was out of sight. The witness states that he stood there almost transfixed for upwards of a minute before he decided that it was prudent for him to get inside and tell somebody about what he had seen.

Once inside, the witness stated that he told his co-workers about what he had seen and even went into detail as to the description of this entity. He stated that besides the usual ribbing that he is used to from his co-workers, there was a palpable air of disbelief among those in the firehouse. The witness stated that he was told by his co-workers that the entity is dubbed the O’Hare “Batman” by some at the airport and that it has been seen by members of the firehouse multiple times. The entity seems to like perching itself on the HVAC building and observing the comings and goings of the firehouse and startling the members who work there.

The witness stated that he was told multiple stories by his co-workers of sightings and encounters with this winged entity. I documented all of them and have my contact information to the witness to pass along to his co-workers in hopes that they will come forward. I will detail these other sightings in another report to be published soon.

RED-EYED, BAT-WINGED HUMANOID Confronts & Terrorizes Little Village, Chicago Residents

 

A Little Village woman and her father had just left a grocery store and crossed the street when they observed a red-eyed bat-winged humanoid looking directly at them. They fled in terror.

The following report was posted by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team investigator Manuel Navarette at UFO Clearinghouse.

"My father and I had just left the La Burbuja grocery store and were crossing 32nd to go toward my car when we heard what sounded like a baby crying out. We thought it was maybe one of the neighbors’ babies but then my father said “Mira Mija!” and was pointing toward the house across the street. I looked and saw a thin black figure perched on the brick fence post and looking directly at us. This thing was dark, dark black it actually looked like it was absorbing the light around it. It was very easy to make out the body, the wings, and the long pointed tail that it swished around much like a cat does when it is interested in something. The eyes were the most striking feature as they were glowing bright red and were locked directly on my father and me.

I was frozen in fear and the only thing going through my mind was how to defend my elderly father if this thing decided to attack us. I could care less about myself but my father is 70 years old and not able to move or defend himself if he was attacked. I could hear my father praying and asking La Virgin de Guadalupe for protection and to send this thing away. I managed to tell my father that we needed to get into the car as quickly as possible so we could be safe. I pressed the button to the remote and the horn chirped as the alarm was deactivated and the doors unlocked. At the sound of the horn chirping this thing opened its wings and stood up on the fence post and chirped back at us. It took off and hovered for a few seconds, its wings flapping and making a light whoosh sound. My father and I dove into the relative safety of the car as this thing flew away and was gone from our sight

This thing was maybe 3-4 feet tall and thin but its wings were large and maybe 10 feet when spread apart. They looked a lot like bat wings, no feathers were visible as it was jet black. We drove straight home and my father told my mother and my sister about our encounter with this thing and what had happened. My mother said it was probably a bruja disguised as a Lechuza and that we were lucky we were not attacked, either way, she refused to let anyone out of the house for the rest of the night."


Investigators Notes:

The encounter happened on October 25, 2022, in Little Village – Chicago, IL at about 8 p.m.

I spoke with both witnesses, and the father was quite reluctant to discuss the matter for fear of invoking the entity and bringing it back to attack him. The father spoke mostly through the daughter and I assured him that I understood if he was hesitant to speak regarding this incident.

The daughter retold her story and said they had gone to the neighborhood grocery store to get a few grocery items and they were leaving the store and walking toward her car when this incident occurred.

When asked about the creature, she said it was small and thin but that the wings were very noticeable as it sat on the fence post. She said it had a long, pointed tail that it moved as it observed them, the witness said it reminded her of her cat and how it moves its tail when interested or observing something. She described the eyes as very large and glowing a bright red but that the face lacked any visible features except the eyes. She noted that as they observed it, it remained in complete darkness almost as if it was observing the surrounding light into itself in order to remain invisible. She noted that there was a street light right in front of its position and even that failed to illuminate the creature. She stated that when it took off, it was thin and that it hovered in place while looking at them and making a sound that sounded like a cross between a baby crying and a cat hissing but much, much louder. The witness stated that she and her father dove into the car and that this entity flew north and was quickly out of sight.

This sighting is one of several that have been reported in the past out of Little Village, in Chicago, IL, and this entity so far has been the smallest one reported by a witness. It is also not the first entity to be reported as a Lechuza, which lends to the very heavy Hispanic population that makes up the Little Village neighborhood. This sighting report will be forwarded to the Phantoms and Monsters Fortean Research team for further investigation.

NOTE: This is the 10th reported sighting/encounter with a winged humanoid in the Little Village community. Lon
