Early Paranormal Experiences

• 💡 Raul's paranormal journey began in 7th and 8th grade after watching a movie about a Ouija board, leading to unsettling experiences with a handmade Ouija board that uttered offensive messages and caused hauntings.
• 💥 He and a friend eventually destroyed the Ouija board by burning it in the desert wash.
• 👻 Later, in 8th grade, Raul experienced a haunted house with a friend, witnessing a floating orb and doors slamming shut, which deeply frightened him.

Encounters with the Unexplained

• 💔 Following his father's death in 2008, Raul experienced a comforting visitation, seeing a shadow figure resembling his father, which he perceived as a sign of his father's presence.
• 🛸 In the summer of 2009, Raul and his cousin witnessed a V-shaped UFO hovering over Las Vegas, New Mexico, which then rapidly zoomed away, followed by multiple other UFOs appearing and performing aerial maneuvers.
• 🦉 Raul recounts multiple encounters with large owls, particularly near a Masonic lodge, which he found unsettling and indicative of something more than just natural animal behavior.

Intense Paranormal Activity

• 🏚️ In 2012, while living in Albuquerque, Raul and a friend investigated an abandoned house where they found satanic symbols, garlic hanging from the ceiling, and evidence of drug activity. They also recorded voice phenomena and witnessed blood appearing on the floor, leading to a cleansing ritual performed by two women.
• 👽 Later, Raul and his wife observed a diamond-shaped object spinning in the sky near Kirtland Air Force Base, and another instance where a section of stars appeared to be shifting unnaturally, causing intense headaches.
• ⛰️ A particularly intense experience occurred on his wife's family's ranch in Northern New Mexico, where they witnessed a fiery orb dancing above cattle, followed by a massive, silent UFO hovering nearby, causing profound fear and prompting Raul to pray, after which the UFO broke apart and vanished.

Cryptid Sightings and Local Phenomena

• 🌲 On the same ranch, Raul's best friend, Benji, has reported seeing giants with antlers, and numerous other strange occurrences, including lights in the trees and entities approaching his house.
• 🐺 In another area of Northern New Mexico, Raul experienced a terrifying night hearing unearthly screams and howls, which caused animals to panic, and later learned that his brother-in-law also avoids that area due to encounters with what he calls 'The Howler,' believed to be Bigfoot or Sasquatch.
• 🦌 The area is also known for unexplained phenomena, such as a mass death of elk, which Raul suspects is linked to UFO activity.
• 🏕️ More recently, while camping in a pop-up trailer with his wife and son, Raul heard faint footsteps and whispering around their campsite, experiencing sleep paralysis and intense fear, which he links to stories of whispering women associated with Sasquatch or other paranormal entities.
