Story 1.

The strange death of Sygmund Dampsky.

In June 1980,

a man was found dead in a coal yard more than 20 miles from his home with suspicious burns to his neck and shoulders.

Who, or what, could have been responsible?

Throughout history, countless mysterious disappearances have occurred, some more notorious than others.

Many of these individuals who simply vanish without trace are never seen again, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions.

However, when a missing person's body reappears days or even weeks later, the circumstances often become chilling, disturbing, or even outright bizarre.

especially when none of the evidence points towards a satisfactory explanation.

This was certainly the opinion surrounding the death of Zygmund Adamski, whose passing appeared so unnatural that many believed it to be the work of something beyond our understanding.

It was not so much the cause of his death that was considered strange, but the circumstances in which his body was found.

Zygmund, a coal miner who lived in the village of Tingley in West Yorkshire, England, had spent most of his early life in his native country of Poland.

But in 1960, at the age of 37,

he and his wife Lottie decided to relocate to the UK, where they hoped to make a fresh start.

After arriving in their new home, they quickly made new friends and soon settled into the small-town life of rural England.

To anyone who knew them, They were a perfectly happy couple, and not disposed to confrontation with others.

So perhaps it comes as no surprise that Mr.

Adamski's sudden disappearance and subsequent death was so unexpected that it was to leave behind a tantalising mystery which remains unresolved to this day.

At around 2pm on the 6th of June 1980, 56-year-old Zygmund left his home on foot to buy some groceries from the local shop.

As he was leaving, he engaged in friendly conversation with a neighbour before setting off on the mile-long journey into town.

The weather had been glorious, and all had seemed well on that peaceful summer afternoon.

But unbeknown to himself, his wife, or anyone else who knew him, Mr.

Adamski would never be seen alive again.

For almost a week it seemed to anyone who knew him that he had simply dropped off the face of the earth.

And to this day, his whereabouts during that time have remained a complete and utter mystery.

Five days later on the 11th of June, his body was found in a coal yard at Todmoden, more than 20 miles away from where he lived.

Trevor Parker, the coal yard owner's son, had opened the compound gates at 3.45pm in preparation for the afternoon shift.

when he spotted Adamski's body lying on top of a 12-foot-high coal pile.

He immediately called the police and a constable, Alan Godfrey, arrived on the scene at 10 past 4.

When questioned, Parker stated that the last time he had been at the yard was 11am that morning, and that Adamski's body had not been there at that time.

He had also closed and locked the gates as he had left.

and no one to his knowledge had visited the coal yard since.

This indicated that the body must have been dumped there sometime during the intervening five hours.

PC Godfrey radioed for an ambulance shortly after arriving, and it was quickly established by paramedics attending the scene that Adamski had suffered a massive cardiac arrest.

However, on closer examination and due to several suspicious elements, Authorities began to suspect foul play.

Firstly, and probably most disturbing of all, were the second degree burn marks on the back of his neck and shoulders.

These were covered with a strange gel-like substance, which more than likely indicated that someone had tried to treat these injuries whilst he was still alive.

Secondly, the way in which he was found, as well as the overall appearance of his body, was not consistent with a death by natural causes.

One of the strangest anomalies was how Adamski was attired.

It was as if he had been crudely redressed after his death by someone who was unfamiliar with the process of dressing.

He was wearing a coat which was buttoned up the wrong way.

His trousers and belt were not fastened properly and neither were his shoes.

His wife would later report that the shirt he had been wearing on the day he vanished was now missing, as were his wallet and watch.

But overall, his clothes were in good condition, which ruled out the probability that he'd been sleeping rough for the past five days.

Another odd factor was how spotlessly clean his body appeared, as if he had just stepped out of the shower, and even though he had been missing for nearly a week, he showed only one day's growth of stubble.

Remarkably, there was no trace of coal dust on his skin or clothing, which excluded the possibility that he had climbed the coal pile by himself before succumbing to the heart attack.

Finally, and perhaps most perplexing of all, was the fact that there was no sign of any footprints in the coal pile itself or any indication that it had been disturbed by someone climbing it or otherwise.

Zygmund was found lying on his back, faced towards the sky, and by all accounts, it seemed as if he had literally been dropped there from above.

P.C.

Godfrey went on to describe how Adamski's face had looked contorted with terror, which was later confirmed by the coroner, who said that he must have known great fear or pain at the time of his passing.

During the post-mortem it was concluded that Mr.

Adamski must have died between the hours of 11am and 1pm on Wednesday, the day that his body was found.

He had eaten well during the time he was missing, although not on the day he had died.

It was revealed that the burns to the back of his neck and shoulders had been inflicted only two days prior to his death.

The strange gel-like substance which had been applied to the burns was tested by a home office laboratory but could not be identified, and there were no records of him having visited a local hospital for any such treatment.

There seemed to be no apparent reason for Adamski's sudden disappearance.

He was a good-natured man with few, if any, enemies.

He was of a sound mind, and he had been due to attend a family wedding the day after he had vanished, which, it was reported at the time, he had very much been looking forward to.

There was a great deal of mystery surrounding the case, and some very odd aspects which could not be ignored.

especially the peculiar burn marks.

Strong hints of alien abduction were in the air by the time the story broke and hit the tabloids in the following weeks, and regardless of how far-fetched they may seem, it is impossible to completely dismiss them.

Todmoden and the surrounding areas are a known UFO hotspot, and the complexities of this theory are further borne out by the involvement of PC Alan Godfrey, who would himself later become an alleged alien abductee.

And it would be remiss to tell the tale of Zygmund Adamski and not include the experience of Alan Godfrey, as over time,

the two have become inextricably linked.

I am so excited for this spa day.

Candles lit.

Music on.

Hot tub warm and ready.

And then my chronic hives come back.

Again, in the middle of my spa day, what a wet blanket.

Looks like another spell of itchy itchy red skin.

If you have chronic spontaneous urticaria or CSU, there is a different treatment option.

Hives during my next spa day?

Not if I can help it.

In November of 1980, six months after finding Adamski's body, Godfrey was on duty in the early hours of the morning when he was dispatched to investigate bizarre reports of a herd of cows which had been seen appearing and disappearing all over a local council estate.

Driving down Burnley Road towards the location of the latest sighting, he saw what he thought was an overturned double-decker bus about 200 meters ahead of him.

Believing it to be a shift bus for the local coal miners, and thinking that a terrible accident might have occurred, he slowed down to observe the scene.

However, on closer inspection, he discovered that the object was not a bus at all, and that it was, in fact, hovering 5 feet off the ground.

He tried calling for backup but found that neither his personal radio nor his dash radio was working.

Not knowing what else to do, he noted the time and began sketching the object.

After completing the drawing, which took him all of 30 seconds, he looked up to find that the strange-looking craft had vanished.

Surveying the scene for any further sign of it, he suddenly realised that his car was further along the road, almost a quarter of a mile distant from where he had originally stopped.

Upon checking his watch, even though only a minute seemed to have passed, he found that he had lost almost half an hour.

time which he could not account for.

Later, he would discover that the soles of his standard issue police boots were split at the toe in a way that suggested he had been dragged along the ground.

Shortly afterwards, he returned to the police station and asked a couple of colleagues to help him search for the missing cattle.

The cows were eventually located in a rain-soaked field, the only access to which was through a locked gate.

Although the recent rainstorms had softened the ground, there were no hoofprints to be seen.

Like Zygmund Adamski, they seemed to have simply been dropped there.

As standard procedure dictated, Godfrey reported his encounter with the strange object later that morning.

He discovered that another driver on the same road only three miles further along, had seen a white light and had reported it to Todmoden police.

Two weeks passed by without further incident, but the report of Godfrey's experience was somehow leaked to the press, causing himself and his department a great deal of embarrassment.

Despite being an outstanding officer, with two commendations for previous police work, Godfrey found himself being alienated by his colleagues and slowly pushed out of favour with his superiors.

With his once solid career effectively ruined, he eventually left the police force.

Some years later, he would undergo hypnotic regression, and over several sessions he recounted some disturbing memories.

He woke up in a white room where a tall bearded man, along with a black dog, stood at the end of the bed he was now lying on.

The man was human, or at least he appeared to be, and he was wearing a kipper.

Godfrey recalled that he was placed on a cold hard table while the man performed physical examinations and spoke to him telepathically.

He said his name was Joseph.

Meanwhile, approximately eight creatures with odd-shaped heads watched on as Joseph removed his shoes.

There was no real end to his recall.

He simply woke up, and that was the end of it.

Recounting the case of Zygmund Adamski, Godfrey was to relate how it had been one of the strangest cases he had ever been assigned to, but regardless of his own experiences that same year, he was somewhat unsure of whether UFOs had actually been involved in Adamski's death, though he didn't rule out the possibility.

Some 25 years later, British UFO Research Association investigators,

interviewed members of Zygmunt's family and found that he had not in fact been looking forward to his goddaughter's wedding.

There had been a family feud during this period and a female relative had moved in with the Adamskis.

This relative had taken out a restraining order on her own husband and relations were very bitter between the two.

In light of this, Two overriding theories have transpired regarding the whereabouts of Mr.

Adamski during those five days.

Bufura concluded that Zygmund had been kidnapped by the female relative's husband and held in a shed for five days, where he had been tortured with batteracid before finally suffering the fatal heart attack.

This could well have been the case, and it is quite plausible that when Mr.

Adamski died, the estranged husband had panicked and dumped the body at the coal yard.

But there are still many unanswered questions over this explanation.

By all accounts, Adamski was a neutral bystander in the family feud, so why had he been kidnapped?

What could this course of action possibly achieve?

Secondly, Zygmunt had obviously been in a state of undress at some point during his disappearance, but why?

And what was the ointment found on his skin?

If his captor had wished to do him harm, as suggested by the burn marks, why had it been applied?

Why had his body been dumped on top of a coal pile in broad daylight and not hidden in a more discreet location and at a less obvious time of day?

And how did the person who dumped his body even get access to a locked coal yard and then manage not to leave a single trace of having been there?

Finally, and perhaps most importantly,

why was no one ever arrested or charged for the kidnapping?

It is clear that this theory has many loose ends, which are yet to be tied up.

Another angle to consider is that during the 1960s, when Adamski travelled to live and work in the UK, Poland was very much a satellite state of the Eastern Bloc.

Theories have inevitably arisen surrounding Zygmunt's possible placement as a KGB agent and that he was assassinated due to a defection on his part.

This is not as far-fetched as it may at first appear, as recently, the Scripal poisoning would seem to suggest that assassinations of this nature can and do occur.

There is, however, an overwhelming intimation amongst conspiracy theorists that the latter was nothing more than a false flag event.

Many others believe that extraterrestrials were somehow involved and that they had abducted him at some time on the 6th of June as he had made his way to the local shop.

From that point on, he had been held in a kind of suspended animation, thereby explaining the lack of stubble growth and the appearance that he'd been eating healthily.

When he was pulled out of this state, possibly for examination, he was so overcome with shock that he suffered a massive cardiac arrest and died.

But the possible involvement of UFOs raises even more perplexing questions.

It was reported that Zygmunt's wallet and watch were missing.

What could extraterrestrial beings possibly want with his valuables?

This point alone leads many to believe that the reason for his disappearance has a far more earthly explanation.

Secondly, accounts of most alien abduction cases suggest that although the experience is very frightening and at times mild physical discomfort is felt, the captors themselves are benign and do not wish to harm their subjects.

Why then had Adamsky sustained various malicious-looking burns?

Could it have been accidental on their part?

Hence the supposed effort to treat him, as indicated by the strange ointment which, oddly enough, could not be identified by modern science.

Finally, and the question must be asked again, why would his captors dump him on top of a coal heap in broad daylight?

Why leave a mystery at all?

Why not hide the body where no one would ever find it?

Was there a feeling of guilt amongst those who took him, a feeling that he should be returned to his home?

Whichever way you look at it, there is no denying that there is more more to this mystery than meets the eye.

Although the family feud scenario is probably the more plausible of the two theories, it is by no means conclusive, and any other assumptions, regardless of how fantastical, are by no means ruled out.

There could be a hundred other reasons why Zygmund Adamski disappeared on that fateful day.

But whatever the explanation, it will forever be consigned to the pages of history as yet another unsolved case.

Story 2

The Body on the Reservoir

In 1988, the mutilated body of a middle-aged man was found on the banks of an artificial lake in Brazil.

Listed as one of the most disturbing deaths of a human being ever recorded, the question is who or what left the body on the reservoir.

Cattle mutilations are relatively commonplace across the globe.

From the USA to the UK, and even as far afield as Australia, many farmers and ranchers have reported the often bizarre and inexplicable mutilations of their livestock.

The majority of these harrowing cases are dismissed simply as attacks by predators.

However, the farmers, ranchers, and even veterinarians who attend upon these strange occurrences have their own suspicions regarding possible culprits.

They often cite what appears to be precision cuts, a distinct lack of blood, and particularly in the UK, a lack of predators as reasons for thinking that something else may be responsible.

But as disturbing as these cases are, what are we to make of similar mutilations which appear to have been carried out on human beings?

It was the afternoon of the 29th of September 1988.

As the sun shined high in the the skies over São Paulo, it bathed the huge sprawling city in a warmth that seemed to endorse the promise of the hot Brazilian summer to come.

To the south, the vast surface of the Billings Reservoir shimmered with an inviting serenity, offering a respite from the humid air, an escape from the worries and tedium of life, but belying a risk all too many people are willing to take.

For the Billings Reservoir is not as peaceful as it may at first seem.

Many deaths have occurred in and around those waters.

Not a year goes by without at least one drowning, and it has also been used as a dumping ground for the bodies of many a gangland killing on the streets of São Paulo.

But occasionally, another kind of cadaver shows up.

One which is not so easy to explain, one which scares the locals more than any other.

And so, it was on that beautiful spring day back in 1988 that a young boy was walking alone along the banks of the reservoir, holding a sling at his side.

He had set out after school that afternoon, with the intention of hunting birds and other small creatures inhabiting the long grass and woodlands surrounding the vast waterways.

And he must have thought he was in luck when he spotted a large group of vultures on the opposite bank, not too far from where he was.

They were all gathered around what looked like a large animal carcass, but there were too many of them to see what kind of animal it was.

Only when he dispersed the birds by catapulting a stone into their midst was the full horror of what lay beneath them revealed.

It was the badly mutilated corpse of a man.

He quickly made his way to the nearest village and breathlessly told the residents what he had seen.

The police were called, and a fire truck along with two officers from the Santo Amaro Police Department arrived on the scene shortly afterwards.

After a quick assessment, they all agreed that the situation was beyond any of them, and by late afternoon, the area had been cordoned off and was crawling with police officers and medical personnel.

As many rumours circulated over the next few hours, and as much as people in the surrounding villages talked about the discovery amongst themselves, nothing was reported on the news or in the tabloids that evening.

The body and the investigators attending the scene quietly slipped away sometime during the night.

The next morning, all that remained at the location were discarded strands of police tape scattered here and there, and signs that the long grass on the banks of the reservoir had been trampled by many pairs of shoes.

The victim's family were notified, but nothing else was heard of the case again,

and the incident began to slip from the minds of the locals and pass inexorably into legend.

And that's how it would have remained, possibly forevermore, if not for a twist of fate six years later in 1994.

The coroner's report and accompanying photographs were somehow leaked to the press, and low-key reports appeared in various newspapers and publications over the next few weeks.

Someone, possibly working in government, had thought this case so disturbing that they had broken their silence and pushed the information out into the public domain.

The details regarding the state in which the body was found are not for the faint of heart.

And as we will discover, it comes as no surprise that those details had authorities questioning exactly who could have done this to another human, and whether it was even possible for another person to have inflicted such injuries at all.

The identity of this unfortunate individual was determined by dental records, but was not widely divulged out of respect for the victim's family.

All that was known at the time was that he had been subjected to a horrible mutilation, the likes of which had never been seen before and has never been seen since.

At least not in the public sphere.

According to the autopsy report, the eyes had been extracted and eyelids cut away, the tongue had been removed, the left ear had been sliced off, the lips and flesh around the mandibles and neck had been excised, and a significant piece of the jawbone was missing.

Examining the rest of the body, investigators found that the armpits had each been punctured by a single hole approximately one and a half inches in diameter.

Similar holes were found elsewhere on the legs and arms, where it was discovered that flesh, including entire muscles, had been extracted.

These apertures were all uniform in terms of size and the way in which they had been inflicted.

In instances where there were two holes on opposite sides of the body, body, such as those located in the armpits and limbs, these were found to be symmetrically aligned with each other.

When the coroner attempted to inspect the state of the victim's internal organs, he was shocked to find that these had been removed too.

The liver, kidneys, stomach, large and small intestines, and pancreas were all missing.

and the chest and lower abdominal cavity had shrunk and sunken inwards as a result.

However, there was no incision in the abdomen besides another small hole where the navel should have been, similar in size to the others.

This left the coroner with no choice but to conclude that the organs, along with the muscle tissues, had been sucked out via these orifices, an unusual and completely unnatural method of extraction.

The victim's colon had also been cored out, leaving a huge hole where the rectum should have been.

He had also been castrated, and moreover, every single drop of blood had been drained from his body.

When trying to determine which instruments had been used to inflict such injuries, investigators found that the holes made in the limbs and torso, the extraction of the rectum and scrotum, and the cuts made to the facial features all had a surgical quality to them.

This indicated that they had been made with speed and precision.

All wounds showed a distinct lack of bleeding, either attributed to the fact that blood was being extracted at the same time the incisions were being made or because the wounds themselves had been cauterised.

Rigor mortis had not set in, despite the death having occurred more than 24 hours beforehand.

and the corpse did not emit the usual cadaverous odours.

Even though the body had been covered with vultures when it was first discovered, there were no signs to indicate that they had fed on the flesh or entrails.

By far the most disturbing aspect of this case was the fact that the toxicology reports showed no signs of anesthesia or an accompanying paralysing agent having been administered at the time these injuries were inflicted.

This was extremely odd because there were also no signs of any kind of restraint found anywhere on the victim's body.

This determined that the individual had been fully conscious during the entire procedure and must have been paralysed by some other means.

It is unlikely that he was able to move freely due to the immaculate nature of the cuts.

Indeed, when the cranial cavity was opened, The coroner's report listed two items, an unimpaired skull cap, meaning the cranium was otherwise undamaged, and signs of a cerebral edema.

The presence of a cerebral edema without accompanying trauma to the skull is indicative of an agonising death.

The autopsy lists the cause of death as follows.

Acute hemorrhage in multiple traumatisms.

There is a component of causomortis by varga stimulation.

Roughly translated, this means that the victim died of cardiorespiratory arrest brought on by extreme pain.

The report also states that there was an element of torture with regards to the death of this individual.

The victim's name is known in smaller circles, but out of respect for his family, we will not divulge it here.

What we will say is that he was a 53-year-old man who suffered with both epilepsy and alcoholism.

He frequently visited the reservoir to fish, and he had been reported missing three days prior to his body being discovered.

Police found his clothes hidden in the woods on the opposite bank, suggesting that he had removed them before swimming the 80 meters to the other side for a more lucrative fishing spot.

Family members confirmed that this was a usual habit of his.

He had been taking Godurnil for the epilepsy.

and authorities initially believed he had mixed alcohol with this medication and that this had resulted in him experiencing a strong reaction, collapsing and dying after such a strenuous swim.

They believed his body was then preyed upon by scavengers such as rats, insects and vultures and that his injuries were a combination of decomposition and animal predation post-mortem.

However, It was quickly established that this was unlikely due to other findings in the coroner's report.

The victim had not been dead long enough for natural decomposition of the suggested magnitude to have taken place,

nor had enough time passed for animals to have eaten the amount of flesh and organs that were now missing.

Add to this the fact that there were no signs of predation even having occurred.

There were no bite marks or telltale signs that are usually left by the beaks of carrion birds.

All incisions were of an unnatural, possibly man-made origin.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming evidence to suggest that foul play had occurred, investigators quickly closed the case and dismissed it as an unfortunate tragedy, stating that the man had died of natural causes attributed to his illness and lifestyle choices.

For this reason, the case is not widely known outside of Brazil.

And even within Brazil's borders, you would be hard pressed to find someone who was familiar with the specifics.

Authorities have been accused of covering up the wider details regarding this death, and there is evidence to support this claim.

The fact that the case only came to light six years after it occurred, via an internal leak, speaks volumes about a possible desire to keep it out of the mainstream press.

Furthermore, In almost every single article regarding this story, the location where the body was found is almost always incorrectly reported as Guarapiranga Reservoir.

This is a falsehood.

The body was actually found on the much larger Billings Reservoir, a few miles to the east.

Although geographically speaking, the two waterways are close to one another, the body was nowhere near Guarapiranga.

This has led many researchers to believe that some of the details were incorrectly reported to further throw the public off the scent.

But why do this if it was believed to have been a natural death?

Why the secrecy to begin with?

Theories regarding what happened to this unfortunate individual have been varied to say the least, but ultimately it comes down to just four possibilities, two of which require an open mind.

If we are to do our due diligence, We must question the official explanation, as at first glance, it does not appear to stand up to scrutiny when we consider the details of the coroner's report.

As we have said, the presence of a cerebral edema suggests that this man died a very painful death.

And whilst it is true that sufferers of epilepsy do not feel any pain during a seizure, there is no denying that the body itself goes through a variety of trauma.

of which a cerebral edema is a rare but possible outcome.

A particularly bad seizure will cut off oxygen supply to the brain, which will cause varying degrees of damage, if not outright death.

That being said,

the autopsy clearly states that the victim had died from cardiac arrest.

Whilst it is also very rare for an epileptic fit to cause such complications, Seizures do increase a sufferer's heart rate considerably during an episode and, if violent enough, could cease heart function if particular variables regarding the person's lifestyle are met.

As we have already learned, this individual was middle-aged and an alcoholic, and therefore could have had a compromised cardiorespiratory system under those circumstances.

Although very unlikely, it is not beyond all possibility that both the cerebral edema and heart failure were brought on by an epileptic seizure.

This still leaves the question of how the injuries inflicted to the the rest of the body had occurred.

Some have speculated that the apertures were caused by some form of burrowing animal, which preyed upon the body after death and consumed the flesh and internal organs from within.

Also, the vultures seen on and around the body at the time it was discovered are notorious for targeting the soft tissues of a carcass and for tearing small holes in the skin, which they then poke their heads into in order to access the organs and flesh.

But the uniformity of these holes and the fact that they had a surgical quality to them invites a degree of scrutiny upon this theory,

particularly because of the cauterisation of some of the wounds, which is wholly unnatural to say the least.

As already determined by the coroner himself, It is highly unlikely that these abrasions were caused by predation or decomposition given the timeframes involved.

Given the lack of evidence to suggest a natural death, the question must be asked, could this individual have instead been murdered?

And if so, who could have inflicted such injuries upon another human being?

And perhaps more importantly,

why would they kill somebody in this way?

What was their motive, if they even had a motive at all?

Murder was ruled out fairly quickly during the investigation due to a lack of evidence suggesting another party's involvement.

There was no indication of restraint or signs of any kind of struggle between the victim and a would-be attacker.

There were also no other tracks besides the victims at the site where the body was discovered.

Authorities also questioned whether it was even possible for another human to have inflicted such injuries.

unless they were a highly skilled surgeon, and even then, it would have been exceptionally difficult without some form of anesthetic or paralyzing agent.

Extraction of organs via suction devices is used in some medical procedures, but it nearly always damages the organ being removed during the process.

So what would have been the purpose of doing this besides abject torture?

Although it is not an impossibility, Homicide by another human being is perhaps more unlikely than a death by natural causes.

What we are left with then is the possibility of this being a natural death, in which nearly every single variable somehow aligned in an extremely unlikely way to present the image of an unnatural death.

Otherwise the death was so unnatural that it begins to enter the realms of the supernatural.

There are those who believe that he could have been attacked by an unknown cryptid stalking the woodlands around the reservoirs.

Indeed, people from the surrounding villages have reported all sorts of strange goings on over the years, and this is not the first or last mutilation to have occurred in the area, but it is certainly the worst.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to attribute this case to local legends when there is little to no evidence to support the existence of such a cryptid.

Elsewhere, similarities have inevitably been drawn between this case and the multitude of animal mutilations recorded all over the world.

These mutilations have often been attributed to UFO activity and possible extraterrestrial experimentation on various species of mammals, particularly those of the bovine, ovine and porcine varieties.

When the coroner was shown images of these animal mutilations in the years following the investigation, he was shocked at how similar the incisions were to those found on the body of this unfortunate individual.

In particular, the way in which the eyes and skin around the jawbone had been removed was of a striking resemblance, as were the apertures through which internal organs had been extracted, all indicative of the same modus operandi.

So, could extraterrestrials have abducted this man?

Could they have subjected him to a swift but extremely brutal procedure in which he met his end?

If so, one would have to question the motives of these beings and express a deep concern over their complete disregard for human life.

After all, if we recall the coroner's report, this man was subjected to the most harrowing experience imaginable.

Having his skin peeled from his face, eyes gouged out, tongue removed, organs sucked from his body, blood completely drained and both rectum and scrotum caught out and dismembered all in the same instance, whilst fully conscious, without anesthetic and completely paralyzed.

They clearly had no sympathy or consideration regarding the utter pain and suffering this man must have gone through.

They then discarded his remains like rubbish with no apparent attempt to hide his body.

For that reason, this theory should give anyone pause for thought, and we would be reluctant in considering it a possibility, if not just for the disturbing connotations it puts in one's mind regarding how extraterrestrials might view humanity.

This case is almost half a century old, and whilst authorities consider the investigation closed, whether they believe their official line or not, it is still very much unsolved in many people's eyes.

And although some aspects of this story might seem unbelievable, the details are all there in the coroner's report and in photographs which are all widely available to the public.

A quick search on Google for the Guarapuranga Reservoir mutilation will garner results if you so wish to research this further.

But be warned, the images are extremely graphic and unsettling.

If you are brave enough, We urge you to investigate this case yourself and make up your own mind.

Our hearts go out to the family of this poor man, and may peace be upon his soul.
