i believe you. you are a brave, brave man and a prior poster was right (i am so sorry prior poster i forgot your name. i am terribly sorry about that) this is a story that needs to be read and paid attention to. i think if more people read this and seen what you went through they would stop overtly going looking for such beings, seeing how dangerous it truly is.
i thank you for sharing this with us and give you a high five for calling attention to the severity of this matter.
