I'll need that link for sure.

The handle turned and in the opening stood a creature with the face of a fox, which walked on its hind legs. It was dressed in some sort of way and, would you credit it, wore a top hat, which added to its appearance an indescribably macabre touch... It gazed at me with a fixed rather than a malign expression but did not speak. I shouted out, 'Go away!' - how well I remember the exact words! - and it turned around and went away. I heard its steps follow, in retreat, the precise route they had followed before, unhurried, and steady as ever, until at last they died out on the road leading to the woods'. |
Surely no trouble getting back to sleep after that, right?! |

omniboy, you are a Fortean after my own heart. I love the lead masks case, and not too long ago, I was on here (somewhere) asking if it had a dedicated thread. I was rather disappointed to find that it didn't 
However, there are some cracking threads, the dummy & his bottle of milk being a real corker! 
A good search thru the IHTM threads will bring up some good ones.
Happy hunting! |

Hey cherrybomb - yeah, the lead masks case just fascinates me. I wish there were interviews with the victim's friends and family, and what they thought happened. Most of the reports center on the strangeness and not on the two poor guys in the masks. What were they trying to accomplish? What did they think was going to happen? There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on them and their backgrounds/beliefs.
Also, I thought the dummy story was actually kind of funny. Can't a guy get a damn glass of milk without a ventriloquist dummy burning his house down?  |

Thanks for posting these links to older threads, love them! The green glow & the dead rabbit =  Really creepy and compelling!
I often wonder, have other "lead masks" type cases been discovered & covered up  *Puts tinfoil hat back on so THEY don't find me* Just what were those pills that the men took? Hmmm.... |

Omniboy, please read my old posts. These include visitations from a giant rabbit monster and a lion man.
I think you can get to them by clicking on my user name and following from there. |

Yes. It's also a very good idea to take a browse through the, It Happened To Me, forum. Lots of meaty goodness to be found there. The thread about about people in 'human suits', is one of my favourites.

Interesting - the rabbit monster seems like classic sleep paralysis, but the lion-man is very weird. Still, it seems likely to just be a (possibly inaccurate) memory of a vivid dream.
What I like is the fact that it wasn't a fantastic creature (a 'real' lion-man) but a guy in a costume.
Makes you think, though - people do a lot of incredibly odd stuff for incredibly strange reasons. Maybe some drunk was actually running around in a lion costume for some reason, hopped through an open window for a laugh, then hopped back out again.  |

That video appears to have been blocked by Channel 4 in this country.
