It’s widely speculated that the MIB are some type of machine like an android, it’s possible that whoever or whatever takes the bodies of the deceased and turns them into these machines.

At worst, it coUld’ve actually been some nutter whom had taxidermy’d people he killed, and dressed their corpses to look like MIBs.

[@alexandergorelik4075]

It's a theme that's used in Charles Stross' The Laundry Files, for instance.

[@arachnonixon]

with MIBs, BEKs & other entities, you'll often hear of them wearing outdated/ ill-fitting clothes that look dirty & like they've been repaired many times. a macabre idea, but I wonder if they keep the clothing from their victims, & reissue it to their corpse-drones, hoping it makes them blend in w/ "humans" better. they have a rudimentary enough understanding of humans to know that we need to wear clothes in society, but things like laundromats or buying new clothes are too alien of concepts for them to deal w/, & taking clothes off the dead is to them the most logical/ easiest way to obtain them.

Oh one hand, 99% of these cases that happen when people are going to sleep are caused by sleep paralysis. You either think that you was about to sleep but woke up, or you straight up hallucinate the whole thing while sleepwalking around. On the other hand, fuuuuuuck that. It really sounds like sleep paralysis though.

[@SubPablum]

I was employed as a driver for nine years. I drove six days a week and often at night in rural mostly unlit areas between small towns. I know weird things happen on the road, I can't explain them and I don't miss the job at all. That's all I was thinking during this video. I don't miss it at all.

I saw a bunch of shadow people - and shadow animals - on hwy. 2, 20 mi. out of Havre, Montana, while I was driving east at night. They were all crossing the hwy, north to south.

[@SweetUniverse]

@Adrumpf Twittler I would say drive that road if you can, at night. Shadow ppl are all black & it's at night, so it would be hard to get a pic of them. You see something moving in the dark, then in your headlights you see the shapes of people. One was wearing a hat & a cat was walking to his right. There's nothing sinister about them. I suppose they're just spirits. If you're about to run into one with your car, they disappear. There was abt 2 dozen ppl & animals, all walking together.

The barking man segment brought back a memory from my distant past... Had an uncle who did two tours in Viet Nam; US Army, 101st Division, Screaming Eagle. Tough, no-nonsense SOB. Anyway, he eventually became a truck driver for a then-striving company, United Parcel Service (UPS). He was not a delivery driver, but rather a long haul 18-wheeler driver between Dallas, TX, and Houston, TX. As this was a constantly running route, there was no 'shift' concept. Haul runs were perpetual, day and night. One night on the way back from Houston on Interstate 45 North, he decided to take a short sleep break, as many truckers do. Instead of stopping at a rest stop or one of the truck stops along the highway, he knew of an empty, undeveloped area along Exit 102 (somewhere between Houston and Huntsville). He parked and shut down his rig, and was about to slip into the sleep compartment. At that moment, he claimed that the hairs on his forearms and back of the neck stood on end, and for some reason had a compelling feeling to look out the window. In the near distance, he saw a procession of about a dozen people of varying ages walking by, at an acute angle from his vantage point. He said that he noticed that there were two male adults, two female adults, and what appeared to be children of different ages, both boys and girls. They were dressed in clothing that appeared dated to him (men wearing suits and hats, and ladies wearing long dresses and bonnets). He noticed a boy wearing 'high water' overalls (pant legs way too short). None seemed to notice my uncle or his rig. Since they were at a distance, he could not hear them, but he could see that one man was gesticulating with his hands, and the ladies nodding in agreement. Eventually, they all walked out of view. My uncle said that he thought it odd that a group of people be walking in the dead of night, in the middle of nowhere. He had this funny feeling that something was not right, but decided to brush it off as fatigue, so he tried to fumble his way into the sleeping compartment, having difficulty since it was pitch black and he could not see anything. That's when it hit him that it there had to be some kind of light reflecting off these people to be able to see them, yet there was none; no moon, no street lights, no town lights, etc. His fatigue went away, and he decided to resume his route immediately. [Edit: corrected the exit number]

[@joycejam9198]

Wow..Creepy!

[@rsuriyop]

Do you happen to know where exactly this area is? Perhaps you can look up the history about the surrounding area and find out if anything out of the ordinary happened there.

[@pintorpi333]

@@rsuriyop Yes. I know exactly where this area is. I have traveled between Dallas and Houston many times as I grew older. I even stopped at that exact area on a couple of occasions out of curiosity; seems very innocuous. About 20 miles north on I-45, you will go right through Huntsville, Texas, where you will also see the Texas State Penitentiary grounds (correcting souls since 1849, many permanently, to this day). About 20 miles south, you will drive through the next major town, which is Conroe, Texas. Believe it or not, used to be a major lumber capital. Other than that, you're pretty much in the thicket of the Sam Houston National Forrest.

[@colinsanders9397]

I remember being around the same area when I was little. We were driving to visit my grandparents and stopped to let the dog out for a bit. While we were on the side of the road, I felt like there was static in the air and our dog started freaking out. Dad started yelling at everyone to get back in the car and even told my mom "shut up and do what I say" when she asked why. Then we peeled out of there and went flying back down the road. My dad did some crazy stuff in the Army in the 80s and worked as a paramedic for a while so there wasn't a lot that could rattle him. He told us kids that there was a man who told us to leave and that's why we left so fast. When I was older, I asked him about it and he said that right when the static feeling came a man and a woman walked out of the woods in old timey clothes and my dad just decided that nothing good was about to happen so he got us out of there.

He said that at some point, an "abomination" crawled it's way onto roadway. Long enough to take up two lanes but not very tall, he said it had the body and legs of a dog, but the tail, head, and panted with the tongue of an anteater. He then pulled off at the next exit and decided he needed some sleep.

Maybe too much evidence to make him disappear after visiting that location on the job? The real question is why have the skin machines in the same room? Normally when you see something top secret unauthorized you get taken into a room and debriefed/grilled. They don't have a model of what you may or may not have seen in the same room. The skin machines could've at least been behind some two way glass in an interrogation room if they are really needed in the process of debriefing.

About 3 years back I heard what sounded like a man snarling and growling and shouting words I couldn't understands near my bungalow at about 3 am on a Sunday morning, I put it down to a psychotic episode or bad trip, however this individual passed my house about 3 times at 5 minute intervals, at what sounded from his voice in the same direction. Its is possible to circle past my house using a couple of jitty's, to do this you would have to be running, but there was no thudding of foot fall that you usually hear when somebody is running at speed on the pavement. 🤷‍♂️

I saw two people in the side of the road, a beefy man with long curly hair and a young ish woman I guessed was his daughter. The man waved me down so I slowed down and pulled over about 30 yards ahead of them. I waited for about two mins but they never came. I got out with a torch to look around, nothing. Damned odd that.

[@JPkerVideo]

As an Estonian the first story is a complete suprise to me... something simliar has happened to a person who I know. When she was young she was supposed to get onto a bus to another city. Later at night they headed for the bus station. She had her little brother with her and they walked to the bus station at the late cold winter evening. When they got near the bus station there was not a single soul around and no cars either, but just about that time when they arrived to the bus station a cloud of bright yellowish light slowly took flight from behind a building that was further away. They did not even bother inspecting it, she grabbed her brothers arm and they both just ran away from scene...

That barking man story was chilling and for some reason, I believe it. So much of the really bizarre stories I’ve heard have taken place in the desert; Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Arizona.

I've witnessed the MIB exactly once. 2 of them years ago outside a mall I used to frequent that recently shuttered. I had heard rumors of saucers in the area the previous night, but I'd not seen them myself. But the description provided here is chillingly accurate. I'm 6'4, and these things had at least 6 inches on me, even at a distance, you could tell. I've never seen anything so gaunt and thin in my life, and their skin looked like it had been stretched to fit a frame it was never intended to sheathe. I saw them on my side of the street, pace towards me from far off, and quickly turn into the parking lot entrance to their left. After witnessing that and making note of their erratic movements, I put two and two together and left. I know better than to investigate those spooks...

On I 70 west, in between Manhattan, Kansas and Hays, Kansas in the middle U.S. that is legendary for weird stuff. One of the earliest accounts of a Dogman sighting comes from this stretch of highway and UFO sightings are common. Back in the 1970s my father had a strange missing time episode on this track, lost 4 hours and still doesn't know what happened. I've heard it said that experienced truckers will try not to drive this route between midnight and 5a, although my dad's experience happened in broad daylight.
