The Pascagoula UFO Incident | When Nightmares Come True

The Pascagoula UFO Incident | When Nightmares Come True

On a quiet October night in 1973, two friends were fishing in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Their lives changed forever when a strange craft appeared.

Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker's terrifying experience became one of the most compelling UFO cases in history. What happened during those missing 20 minutes? Why did these men insist they were telling the truth for decades?

But there's more to this story than just one night. There are many similar encounters and many possible explanations, both natural and supernatural.

Whether the story is true or not, one thing is for sure: It was a nightmare.

I've suffered from that 'old hag' syndrome a few times in the past.
The horrific feeling of an hagged old woman clambering on top of me, clawing at me, it was a feeling like a pressure crushing me, holding me down, and the face, my god ill never forget it, terrifying.

Im okay nowadays though.

Since the divorce it hasn't happened again.

[Poopdeck]

The AI footage in this episode is scarier than the story. The humans look more frightening than the entities 😂

[MrLotto-fm]

Charles hickson was my uncle and this story is 100 percent true! And my dad said that he was never the same after that incident and he said that it messed his head up really good. Kinda felt bad for the poor guy. It happened on the Pascagoula river and he worked at ingalls shipyard

The Why Files comes on Friday morning here in the Philippines. Being retired and living here with my wife, my Friday mornings would feel incomplete without new Why Files episodes or even compilations. Thank you AJ, HF and the whole crew from an old guy living in the Philippines. Best show ever.

I know my experience could be proven to be a hoax or even my subconscious playing tricks on me, but I didn't believe in ghosts till after my mother passed away, a week after the funeral I sat in the dining room watching the TV in the living room at the time I was in my first marriage I went to the kitchen to get a beer and when I came back my mother was sitting in the chair across from where I was sitting just like she did every time she wanted to talk to me, and all she said was "she's cheating on you", and she was gone.
Three days later I caught my wife cheating on me and the following week I filed for a divorce.
Then I saw my mother one last time and she said "the other half of your soul is across the Atlantic", three years later I was on a trip in France and meet my future wife we were married and I moved to France and that was the last time I saw my mother.

In 1968, at the age of ten, my Mom and I had an up close and personal UFO craft experience. It looked exactly like the one in your video, same size and dimensions exceptit was perfectly smooth, there were no metal plates or visible opening. It was late on summer night, we were walking home from our neighbors house around midnight. We lived in the country outside of Lakeland Florida at the time. As we got close to our house a craft came floating over a large wooded area beside our house, it's still there today. The craft stopped directly over our heads, only about 30 to 40 feet in the air. It made very little sound, there was no wind or air coming from it, all I could feel was some heat. It had a circular row of lights of different colors circling around in time with a very low wha, wha, wha humming noise coming from the craft that we could hear as it got closer to us. As it stopped directly over us, a heavy yellow light came down on us. I say heavy because i coulld feel it, like it had mass to it. As I was looking up at the bottom of the craft in awe my Mom screamed for my brother to come outside and see the craft, as soon as she screamed, the light went up and the craft took of so fast, it was gone in a blink of an eye. It went from hovering over us standing still, to what looked like light speed and was gone. I've seen others over the years at a distance but I have never had another close encounter like that night. I am always looking up at the night sky hoping they would come back.
Beam me up Scotty!

The Travis Walton story needs a full episode for itself.

There’s so many twists and turns in that one.

My ufo experience was in a car, I was wide awake, I had a passenger. When we saw it we started screaming because it was so scary. We didn’t talk about it with each other again for 25 years and he finally contacted me on social media to ask if I saw what he did. Same story. Same experience. No sleeping, no alcohol or drugs, no trauma, no stress, I was driving him home from a youth group activity when it flew up behind behind my car, hovered slowly over my car, we could see the lights on the bottom of the craft, it was a triangle. After it picked up speed it shot off it made a fast sharp turn I don’t think humans are capable of. Thankfully we didn’t lose any time. But we should exercise caution to not dismiss every surreal experience as our brains lying to us. We have no physical evidence, this was before cell phones, didn’t have a camera with us, but the biggest piece of evidence we have is that neither of us wrote a book.

To ALL of those who DON’T believe in ghost, from someone with many many many not just paranormal, but actual ghostly encounters…..you have not had the right experience. When you do, you WILL be a believer!

LOVE THE SHOW!!!! AJ, your stories keep me entertained, and HF, you funny as hell man! Keep it up guys!!

I experienced sleep paralysis multiple times a year from the age of 2 until 11. I was raised as catholic so I would see good and bad spirits, demons, shadows, and mainly one woman dressed in full white. They were all very vivid and frightening experiences.

You can’t breathe, you can’t scream or fight or run. You feel great pressure holding you down and it’s all right there in front of you. It took years for me to be able to break free of the paralysis and run away or hide.

I had no clue what it was until my mid twenties when I learned of sleep paralysis. Then it all made perfect sense. You are literally stuck between your dream and reality. A slither between a dream state and consciousness. So it looks and feels very real.

Sleep paralysis should definitely be better studied and understood. Now at the age of 42, it is amazing now that I look back at it.

I was in the Navy and stationed in Pascagoula about 6 years after the incident. People still remembered and talked about it. The locals were very bipolar about it. Some were near violence if you said you didn’t believe the story and vice versa. Whatever happened, it generated very strong feelings.

[MrNick-ogqm]

I live one town over, my granddad had a book written by one of these guys, and he said “For two men to tell everyone about this, in Mississippi “back then”, I can assure you, they didn’t make it up because two shipyard workers from the OLD Mississippi, to start talking about aliens and being taken, that’s the kind of story that sticks to your family, ”

[scarlett]

I’m 54 years old and I saw that old hag when I was a BABY in my CRIB. The memory is burned into my brain. She was outside the window looking in at me through the little crack of window uncovered by the curtain. The terror and dread is real. To this day, I’m weird about leaving any portion of window uncovered after dark and I still sleep with a blanket over most of my head. It’s no joke.

I just discovered this channel.. i think i lived under a rock for all this time

[woollygoat]

Watching this at 3am as I tried to fall asleep was a terrifyingly bad idea.

[TheLastStarfighter]

I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with the late Calvin Parker about the Pascagoula incident. He's never once strayed from his story, and i totally believe 100% that this man was telling the truth. For those who wish to follow up on the encounter, Philip Mantle has released some fascinating content on the incident on Amazon.

My grandfather was the commander of Keesler Medical Center in the 70s, and he oversaw the medical examinations of these guys. I wasn't made aware of that until after he died when I accidentally read it in an old newspaper article. His name was Col Robert O Amdall.

[Impstar]

I too was a Lucid Dreamer.

The orb that scans you, the white room, buzzing sounds, unable to move. Yup, familiar but one difference. I was coming out of a Lucid Dream but I entered Sleep Paralysis. Not saying their stories weren't true, but it can explain a lot of things.

Lucid Dreams are fun, but if they end too abruptly, You will be stuck for a few moments in Sleep Paralysis as your mind tries to recover from a Lucid Dream.

Shadow People, Ghosts, Entities.. Yup all fragments of a Lucid Dream ending abruptly. Just be careful not to scare yourself too much or you will have a bad time.

[TheDonDaDa]

Those AI clips are more terrifying than many Hollywood productions.
