## Resource

Three generations. Three unbelievable encounters. Eric joins us from Cleveland, Ohio, to share the strange paranormal stories that have haunted his family for decades. It begins with a summer night in 2005 when Eric and his cousin watched an iridescent glowing sphere silently hover outside their bedroom window. For nearly twenty years, Eric has searched for answers about what they witnessed. He also recounts his uncle's terrifying encounter while fishing near a reservoir in the Bedford Heights area outside Cleveland. Deep inside a drainage pipe stood a pale humanoid creature unlike anything he had ever seen. The sight sent him running for his life. Then comes perhaps the most unbelievable family story of all... Eric tells us how his great uncle claimed to have killed a young dragon from a family of dragons living inside a cave in Alabama. Although his great uncle dismissed stories of Bigfoot, he never doubted what he encountered in that cave. He took its tooth but the Sheriff confiscated it from him! Were these encounters connected? Were they simply family legends, or evidence that there are mysteries in our world we still can't explain? Listen to this incredible conversation and decide for yourself.
