Topic: Hello, and orange alien?
Hello,
I am new here. Thanks for registering me.
I have had a number of odd experiences that I once thought were ghostly in nature and now I am beginning to wonder. For starters, has anyone ever heard of a cheese colored alien?
When I was maybe 4 or 5 I was sleeping in my home at night and I guess something woke me. I went around the corner of the hallway and there was a light in the kitchen. There was someone in the refrigerator, which had its side to me. I watched for a while and saw that this creature was tall and did not seem to have a lot of flesh on its bones, but it did have muscle. It was orange-ish in color. It removed a piece of individually wrapped cheese from the refrigerator. When it stood up I saw that it had large eyes, the suggestion of a nose and not much of a mouth at all. In retrospect it looked a lot like drawings of aliens that I have seen. Being a little kid, when I noticed that it seemed to be eating the cheese without unwrapping it I told it, "That would taste better if you unwrappred it first." I seem to have startled it and it seemed like a very very intense creature. It looked at me and sort of growled, but I only heard it in my head. That is the last I remember.
I am almost 36 now so this occurred in the mid 1970's. Interestingly, I have always remembered it pretty clearly. When I was researching hauntings in my late 20's I ran the story by an experienced researcher. She ran it by some others she knew and came back and told me that this sort of creature is seen in kitchens, mostly in the southern U.S. They are called "haints" and are often in kitchens doing odd but pretty harmless things.
Any ideas?
