This is an excerpt of a recorded interview conducted by the late Ezekiel Morse, reporter for the Providence Post, with eyewitness Elmer T. Dowd of West Hide, Rhode Island on March 23, 1927, the day after the so-called “Dimensional Conjunction” occurred. The interview occurred on Mr. Dowd’s front porch.

Morse: You are one of the few survivors who saw the void. Where were you when you saw it?

Dowd: I was in downtown West Hide, near the old mill – not the one on the north end of town where they used to make paper. The other one, in the center of town, where they used to spin wire.

Morse: What were you doing at the time?

Dowd: Just walking my dog, Fluffy…and before you ask, my wife named the poor pooch before she passed a few years ago. Fluffy’s a good hunting dog. We mostly go after rabbits and pheasant. We don’t need much seeing as it’s only me and the dog.

Morse: So you were walking Fluffy and you came around the corner of the old mill. What did you see then?

Dowd: I didn’t see it right away. Fluffy was sniffing at something and then she ran behind me, her hackles up, and she was barking something fierce. I looked down the street but there was no one else there. And that’s when I looked up and saw it.

Morse: Describe it as best as you can.

Dowd: Well, sure. It was like a danged hole! Right there, in the sky. Like it got tore up. There wasn’t a thing on the other side. No stars. The more I looked at it, the worse I felt. Like in the pit of my stomach. I felt empty. I thought I heard my wife’s voice and I looked away. Probably the only thing that saved me from getting sucked up in the thing like all those other people.

Morse: You heard about those other people disappearing. You think they were pulled into one of the voids that appeared.

Dowd: I read in the paper that sixty-seven of them holes appeared in the skies around the world yesterday. Hundreds of people gone missing.

Morse: What else did you see?

Dowd: When I looked back, I saw something dangling out of the hole, like a shark’s mouth open with thousands of teeth.

Morse: People have reported objects falling out of the voids. Did you see anything like that?

[Morse, whispering: I would note that at this point, Mr. Dowd became agitated and it took several minutes for me to convince him to continue the interview.]

Morse: You saw something fall out of the void, didn’t you?

Dowd: Yes.

Morse: You went and found it, didn’t you?

Dowd: Yes.

Morse: Can I see it?

[Morse, whispering: Mr. Dowd went into the house and retrieved a potato sack. He reached into it and retrieved an object.]

Morse: That looks like a stone idol of some kind. It is made from a blue-black stone I have never seen the likes of before. The carving is hideous, like thousands of rat heads – their eyes and mouths – were somehow fused together around it.

Morse: What do you make of it, Mr. Dowd?

Dowd: It is calling to me. It wants me to….

Morse: What’s happening to you? Get rid of that thing. Put it back in the…. [Though the recording continued past this point, the only sounds that could be heard were those of Morse’s screams. Once those stopped, there was a slurping or crunching sound. No sign of Dowd or Morse were found on the front porch, though blood was splattered about.]  

Happy Holidays.

May the Herald of the New Year trumpet in bountiful glories for you and yours, and bring Peace to one and all.

I went on a hike recently with two college friends of mine. Eli and Fisher. We hiked eight miles that day through the backcountry and headed to the campsite. It was remote, but, being former Scouts, we were prepared. Water. Rain gear. Bear spray. We planned for every contingency. Or so we thought.

Nature called, so I went to visit a tree and Eli and Fisher walked ahead. As I caught up to them, a beam of light locked in on them from above. It made no sound whatsoever. I swear I saw a luminous globe the size of a double-wide. It had a protrusion coming from its base where the beam came from.

Honest to goodness Aliens. I know we humans have digital watches, stealth fighters, and self-driving cars that only occasionally kill people. But not flying globes that beam people up!

I called out to my friends but they didn’t move. I picked up the biggest rock I knew I could throw and then hesitated.

At a time like this, you know deep down there’s nothing you can do. You’re dealing with a force much greater than yourself and you happen to be one lucky son-of-a-bitch that didn’t get their attention. If they saw you, you’re getting anal probed and stuck in a giant jar with fluid like a lab rat. Do you let them take your friends while you skedaddle? Or do you do something?

Yeah, well, I’m writing this, so you know what I did. I ran. I reported them missing and said the last time I saw them was when I went to take a leak. Eli and Fisher showed up two weeks later stark naked in the center of town. Neither remembered anything. That right there is the brain protecting itself. Let this be a lesson for everyone. There are things out there you shouldn’t mess with. So just shut your mouth and mind your own business.
