The Boy at the Side of the Road, Ceremony, Mantis-Man

Greetings. This is Blood Moon Podcast. I’m the Blood Moon Host. In this episode, our animal totems present reports of encounters with a variety of entities. They take place at various locations; on a desolate road, at one’s home, and just outside a major city. Strangeness can arrive anywhere at any time. Now, turn up the sound and turn off the lights. The black cat and owl have stories to tell. The Boy at the Side of the Road We begin with a black cat story. This account can be found in the Revised 2nd Edition of Black Eyed Children, authored by David Weatherly. Technically, this isn’t a black-eyed kid case but it still shares many details found in BEK reports. Such as a child appearing out of nowhere, demanding to be taken for a ride, and overall unsettling behavior. You never know what you may come across at the side of a deserted road. Ceremony  Stories from the Messengers by Mike Clelland is a book containing reports regarding people’s experiences with owls and their relationship with the unknown. These birds seem to herald otherworldly events and historically have been associated with magic and occulted knowledge. Are owls harbingers of some type? Are they used as screen images with the purpose of concealing the true nature of the experience. The following story began when the witness had many close sightings of owls. This report is the perfect representation as to why the owl is the totem for unearthly occurrences on Blood Moon Podcast. Mantis-Man The black cat returns with an anecdote which is from an open lines segment on Coast to Coast AM. The caller claimed to have seen a humanoid creature that resembled a praying mantis. Many people have reported having seen such beings usually onboard UFOs. This account is peculiar because this being was seen running around just outside a major city; And it was under the cloak of darkness. I think we have to ask, how often do these being venture out into suburbia, so close to our cities and do we share this planet with other intelligent humanoids?  Credits This episode was written and narrated by Andrew Carey.
