This story was submitted to the site by Nancysaysno from Perth, Western Australia .
I have a few stories. I don't know why things keep happening to me but I have no reason to lie. I can't tell my stories in normal settings for fear of being branded a nut but the following actually happened to me and I'd love to hear from anybody who has had similar experiences.

I used to work nights in a nightclub in Perth, Western Australia and on my way home I had to walk through a large park called Hyde park. Hyde park had concrete paths lined with huge Mortan Bay fig trees. They are massive trees with large roots, big enough to sit on.
One night I was walking along one of the paths when I noticed that the roots of one tree were shaped like a person. I thought it was cool and when I got close I knelt down to have a better look. As I bent down, the figure in the tree looked up at me. I think it was a he, I'm not one hundred percent sure though. He was nestled in the roots of the tree and sort of appeared to be a part of it. He was kind of wet looking, at first I thought he was the victim of a mugging or something and I started to ask if he was alright but before I could get the words out I realized he was not human. He had big almond shaped eyes, cat like I think. I guess he looked like pictures of demons of aliens. Grays to be precise. He had very kind eyes though and I wish I'd stayed to talk but I was so freaked out that I ran without looking back.

The next day I went back to look at the tree and there was nothing resembling a person at all. It would be kind of a relief to me if I could write the experience off as a trick of the light or something but I trust my senses. I saw a few strange things in that park but that was by far the spookiest.

There are some strange things out there, in the dark. Thank goodness you didn't stick around to find out if it was indeed as kind as its eyes seemed to be.

Glad to read that you "use" to work nights. Despite whatever it was that you saw in the park, you are lucky that you are still here to tell your story. Why on earth do people (especially females) put themselves in such high risk situations?.... it's simply beyond me.

I lived in perth, i am familar with the trees but i have to ask, What year did this happen and what cross roads where this had happen? I am sketpical of this due to the fact most areas near the road have good lighting and perth was nortious for having stray cats and also squirels. The human mind is an amazing thing, we can fill in the gaps with events or details that weren't there. For example, a few years ago this man robbed a bank, The bank teller swore it was a pistol. Ironically, It was a banana. I am not calling you a liar, just things don't add up for me.

I would love to see something like that. I would ask it so many questions!

Since your alias on here is nancysaysno, I assume you don't do any drugs, and weren't under the influence when this happened. I don't like how people ridicule and act as though you wouldn't know the difference between a small animal and a full fledged being. I think when our eyes lock onto something like those types of eyes, the very next thing we are doing is gathering a body to go with it. I do have to point out however that upon further investigation of the appearance of those types of trees, I have to admit that they are freaky looking as hell to start with. So your already going to lose s... [More]

I would love to see something like that. I would ask it so many questions! plaguedmedusa I have the feeling, you might not be the one asking the questions if it were extraterrestrial life. FYI to anyone that is ever face to face with such a rare encounter, it is dangerous to your health and psyche to even be near such things. If you ever encounter a craft or probe for example, I would follow what chapter 13 of the FEMA handbook says about it. DO NOT go up to it and touch it. Do not get near it. These things usually have heavy traces of radiation and can make you ill, possibly kill you. Run awa... [More]

Nancysaysno, Did you continue to walk this path home at night after work after your encounter?

Northbridge has some dodgy characters hanging around its bars. Drink spiking could have been an option. Sorry but reminded me of this scene: (Housos. A satirical show about low-lives living in housing commission. Bad language but some good laughs in the show haha.)
