Dark Entities

"Dark Entity is an artist's impression of an insect-like alien and is based on reports from eye witnesses. The Dark Entity is usually accompanied by smaller gray entities, and always appears to be in charge or in control of the smaller entities. The Dark Entity stands six to seven feet in height, and has a build and posture closely resembling that of a praying mantis. Its exoskeleton is reasonably rigid, somewhat glossy, and is predominantly black with a subtle blue tint. The Dark Entity is relatively rare, though sightings of it have been reported world-wide. It is usually seen motionless in darkness or shadows on the other side of a threshold, though broad-daylight sightings of the entity have been reported, as well as outdoor encounters in rural settings."

And another, an account from an alleged abductee....

"Hi, my name is Jim. I live in a small town on the outskirts of London. Here's an account that happened to me in April 2001. It's taken me this long to deal with it. I promise to you everything that happened is true. 

I woke up at about 2:30 in the morning to find a tall praying mantis looking being and a cloaked being by the side of my bed. I thought to myself "What crazy dream is this?" The cloaked being looked at me from beneath its hood, revealing its black skin, which appeared leathery and reflecting light much like a beetles skin. I shut my eyes, thinking this must be a realistic dream! But when I re-opened my eyes, the figures were unfortunately still there.

The cloaked figure looked up to the tall praying mantis type, as if it was confused as to what actions it should take next. The praying mantis turned its head towards the hooded one and made a series of high-pitched clicking sounds. I sensed this was the one in command, possibly the other was some kind of security guard. It's at this point I realized, I'm definitely not dreaming, I can hear them. I couldn't move but my brain went into a deep panic. "OH my god what is going on?" "What are they?" I don't want to look too closely at the mantis, so I just glance at it. 

All I recall was that it was tall. At least 7 foot, it had to bend its neck because of the height of the ceiling. Its head was pointed with large eyes. Its for-arms were extremely long and moved in a jerky fashion. The cloaked figure was closer, crouching by my bed, so I couldn't tell how tall it was, but I could clearly see that it was wearing some kind of overlapping ridged amour? Including a metallic looking breastplate that had a series of circles on it. Its head was dome-like with emotionless facial features. Its eyes were large and surrounded again by detailed ridges. It acted in a way that reminded me of a robot or insect. 

I remember thinking to myself, nobody's going to believe this! A bloody giant sized mantis and medieval-style dressed alien, what the hell is this? Before this incident, although I hadn't see one, I was familiar with the gray types but I had never heard of the praying-mantis types. At this point, the mantis bent its upper body, over my bed and directly above me. In its hand it was holding a long metal object that looked like a needle. A green light shot directly from the needle and into my right eye. Maybe it's a laser, I am not sure, but I do know it felt very painful. I could see all the veins from my eye, the same effect you get when an Optician checks your eyes. I screamed but no noise came out. I then felt something stick into my skull! I'm not sure what because by that time I had my eyes closed. I pretended to sleep and went into deep panic! My mind was racing at a million miles per hour. I heard a great whooshing sound and when I next reopened my eyes thankfully they had gone. 

I lay shaking and confused for what seemed like hours and just couldn't return back to sleep. At no time did I feel like they cared about my health or me! They seem to have an insect cold type mentality. I really thought I was going to die. The next day I spent the whole day in bed and felt as if I had been through a major operation. It's very painful to recall and since this incident, I sometimes hear clicking sounds inside my head. I was in shock for a long while afterwards; I can say that this definitely happened, this definitely was real. I have no answers or conclusions but I think it's important to get real life accounts out there. 

Thank you. Keep up the good work!"

"possibly the cloaked figure was holding a staff."

It was between 4-5 foot tall and wearing a dark hooded robe which looked as if it was covered in a purple-bluish energy (liquid in appearance). 

Bizarrely, and I've no explanation for it, on the outside I was totally calm, even though I was essentially in a Mexican stand-off with a hooded alien. 

It was smaller than me and it just didn't feel right to jump on it and pound its head in.

I can't fight anyone unless they attack me first and I was in a good position if it did decide to attack me.

So I relaxed as much as I could and changed my hands from clenched fists to open palms.

I said as calmly as possible; "I'm not going to fight you"

I waited for a response.

No reply. 

I then asked, "What are you?"

Again no reply, It's Hooded head was pointing in my direction and I could barely just make out two reddish eyes.
