Summary

Our first story comes from Baker in West Texas, who shares an incredible tale from 1985 about his newborn son's strange sleeping patterns and unexplained nocturnal visitors. What started as puzzling midnight crying episodes soon revealed something far more extraordinary when family members began witnessing shadowy figures hovering over the baby's crib, and blankets mysteriously appearing to keep the infant warm during cold desert nights. We then explore three unsettling encounters submitted by Dell from California's Sierra Nevada mountains, spanning from childhood to motherhood. Her experiences range from a terrifying figure spotted during a lightsaber battle when she was nine years old, to a disturbing bedroom intrusion involving a four-foot creature with glowing yellow eyes approaching her newborn daughter. The final encounter involves phantom voices of her children calling out in the night from outside their remote home - but when Dell checks, both kids are safely asleep in their beds. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.
