Amazing account Dan and I thank you for sharing it with us. In all honesty, if it were me I do not know if I would tell it and I can certainly
understand why you would take it to RATS first. In doing so I feel it lends more credibility to your version of the events. I would like to ask a few
questions if I may....
1) What happened when you went into the woods? Besides getting a picture did anything else happen?
2)What made you leave the woods? Did you notice any strange sounds? Smells? Any feeling of being watched? Prior to or in the act of leaving the woods?
Was your "spider sense" tingling?
3) You say this event took place on July 1st. When did you go into woods and take the picture? At what time of the evening did this event take
place?
4) Can you describe what type of sound it was the woke you up? What made it seem so out of place? Could the noise be from the garments being worn?
Much the way Corda Roy Jeans make a noise when you walk.
5) Can you describe the lay out of your bedroom in reference to your bed? Did the creature enter through the door or was it in the room when you
awoke? Which direction did the shadow move when you first noticed it? Is your side of the bed closer to the door and it go past you to your wife's
side of the bed?
6) Can you describe the baby bed and where it is located in the room in reference to your bed, the door, and where the fight took place? Did the baby
ever wake up or make any noise at all during the altercation? I ask this because I would imagine there was a lot of noise, banging on the floor,
feet/arms smacking into night stands or furniture around the room, enough noise that it would wake anyone in the house.
7) As you layed there aware of it's presense, what do you recall hearing? Smelling? Are your eyes open or closed? If open what did you see?
8) How did you see this creature reach for one of your family without it noticing you were watching it? Can you explain your position in thebed in
relation to where this creature was? At this point was it standing or crouched beside the bed? How much effort was it making to remain concealed at
this point? At what point did your wife wake up while it was a "dolphin"?
9) If I remember correctly you say the first strike was to stab it in the eye and as a result it "popped". What can you tell me about any fluids
from the creature? Thickness? Smells? Texture? Was it sticky? Was it warm or cold? How much time elapsed From this point to when you became aware of
it? How much time has passed from the time your wife saw it to the timer you attacked?
10) Would you describe the Garment to be as smooth as silk? What known fabric would you comapre it to? Was it tight to his body or loose fitting? Were
you able to pull on it and manipulate it like you would a shirt? Did it tie in the front of back? Were there any openings or gaps in the garment
from the way it was tied? What can you recall about teh lower part of it's body? Was it clothed below the waist? Can you recall anything about it's
feet?
11) Was it's hands bear? Besides grabbing your arms to hold you in place and prevent you from striking, did it do any other offensive or defensive
moves to you while making physical contact with you? Did it strike you? Claw you? Push you away? When you say you two "rolled" a few times, was it
teh creature causing the roll as if to get on top of you?
12) Did you notice any burning sensations or anything irritating your skin in the places you were being touched while you were attacking? At any point
did you feel like it was attacking you back in an effort to escape or make space? What were you wearing? Did it make any attempt to use your clothing
as a weapon or in an effort to restrain you or eg taway from you?
13) On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being "off the charts!" and 1 being "weak" how would you describe the strength of this creature while you were
grappling with it? Did it have nails? How would you describe the touch of its bare skin?
14) Did you at any time feel it breathing? Could you smell its breathe? Do you recall any color to the fluid? Did it "bleed" Did it's wounds remain
"open"? Did it at any time seem to breathe harder? Like you or I would do if we were jogging.
I have a million more questions, but I am sure this will do for the time being and I am sure I'm probably running out of room in this post. I'd like
to thank you again for sharing your story and thanks for taking my questions. I am sure some of them seem rather stupid, but I only ask to gain a
better understand of the events as you recall them and paint a better picture of the event. So thanks for humoring me.
