Full Description & Details

my mother and i were leaving the reservation going back to reno; the sun hjad set and there was no light whatsoever, besides the headlights of my car. i was a bit perturbed, because i had never been out here at night, and only once during the day. i thought it odd that there were no stars evident in the sky, just pitch blackness; then we rounded a bend in the road, and i saw whatlooked like a full moon. this was odd, because the night sky was not lit up with the light of the moon as normal; neither did the landscape appear moonlit. stranger still, a shaft of light from the "moon" was searching the ground, much like a night watchman's flashlight in the darkness. it moved as we moved. i asked my mother did she see what i saw. she said yes, but offered no explanation. i began looking for somewhere to pull over, as i had a disposable camera and wanted to take a picture. i found a spot, pulled over. i looked at the object, and now there was a translucent cloud, just large enough to conceal the object, obscuring it. i got out and took the picture, got back in the car and drove off. i dismissed it as a nightime desert oddity until about ten minutes later when i looked to see if anything had changed; something had. now, the night sky was as empty and black as possible--no moon, no stars, no clouds. this all occurred roughly two months after my first visit to the reservation, prompted by a visit to a local medium who thought i might benefit from drinking of the healing springs located on the land. of the two described to me, one was by far less known and diminutive, called "shaman springs". i visited it, and drank water coming from cracks in stones in the spring. moments later, driving away, isuddenly became of the sound of running water, like a large waterfall, on the other side of the low hills bordering the road. simultaneously, i felt an overwhelmingsucking force, like gravity magnified or a magnet, working up my body into my arms and hands; i panicked, because i could no longersteer. as soon as i panicked, the force released, and i drove home without incident.

Other Comments

odd, frightening, and queer events preceded the sightings, intensified afterwards, and kicked off a journey into the dark realms of the unexplained and the i-wish-i-hadn't asked category. an investigator by nature, all my considerable efforts to look into the nature of the evvents occurring to me and others kept pointing to the same place. i decline to discuss that place in this forum.
