Other-Dimensional Window-Fallers Part 1
Other-Dimensional Window-Fallers Part 1
The Beast of Gevaudan, Spring-Heeled Jack, Mothman, and other paranormal cryptids
Window-faller: Being from another dimension or density that transits through a dimensional window into ours. Exists by virtue of a mutual relationship with human consciousness, each side contributing to the other’s reality. Physicality in our realm is transitory, partially dependent on human expectations, and requires energy to maintain.
The window-faller concept was first introduced in 1995, and has been referenced repeatedly in the intervening years. What follows is a chronological compilation of those references.
June 9, 1995
Q: (L) I read in a book about a monster called the Beast of Gévaudan. Who or what was this beast?
A: Other-dimensional “window-faller.”
Q: (L) You mean it fell into our dimension from another through a dimensional window?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Well, that would explain a lot of things about it. What about the creature known as Spring-Heeled Jack who terrorized England some time ago?
A: Same.
Q: (L) What about the Mothman in West Virginia?
A: Same.
Q: (L) So, windows to other dimensions are the explanation for a whole host of strange things?
A: Yes.
Commentary
In The Complete Guide to Mysterious Beings, John Keel:
We have a theory. It is not very scientific but it is based upon the known facts. These creatures and strange events tend to recur in the same areas year after year, even century after century. This, in itself, indicates that the creatures somehow live in those areas which we call “windows.” … Posses, experienced hunters, and even helicopters have searched for these monsters immediately after some of these events and have failed to find any trace of a hiding place. So where did they go?
Mundane explanations do not seem to fit the known facts. We have to stretch our minds a bit and extend our imaginations into the paranormal. The sudden appearances and disappearances of these wild, unknown creatures all over the world, even in densely populated areas, suggests that they have some means of transportation or else they are deliberately dumped here and retrieved by some form of transportation. …
Some specialists are now toying with theories involving concepts of the fourth dimension. Researchers such as Allen Greenfield of Atlanta, Georgia, and Brinsley Le Poer Trench, a well-known British author, have considered ideas involving “interpenetration.” They speculate that another world exists outside our space-time continuum and that these myriad objects and creatures have found doors from their world to ours in these “window” sectors. Admittedly it is a far-fetched idea, yet much of the data supports it.
Keel covers a variety of cryptids taking monstrous forms sometimes only slightly removed from the creatures inhabiting Earth: dog- or wolf-like beings (like the Beast of Gévaudan or the Skinwalker Ranch dog-man), big cat-like creatures, winged or bird-like creatures (like Mothman), lake monsters, hairy humanoids (Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti), and various more-or-less human-like but disturbing forms (little men, giants, the “Grinning Man”).
Several commonalities emerge. The beings are often described as incredibly agile, leaping long distances over fences, across roads, or over trees and houses, sometimes gliding. They also seem impervious to bullets, and appear and disappear suddenly. As Keel wrote: “These monsters appear for only a short time, are seen by many people, commit all kinds of outrageous acts, and then vanish without a trace.”
Encounters are often associated with other electromagnetic and paranormal phenomena, e.g. lightning, UFO sightings, poltergeist activity, and terrible, sulfurous odors. While some reported cryptids most likely are relatively prosaic previously unknown animal species, window-fallers are “monsters in the true sense of the word.”
They rarely leave footprints or other physical evidence behind. They seem to be more in the nature of paranormal or paraphysical apparitions. They attack people and automobiles, causing scratches, bruises, and black eyes. They chase cars and carry off cattle. They scream like banshees (maybe they are the original banshees of folklore), and despite their great height, weight, and girth, they melt into nothingness when the posses turn out. Since our data is admittedly only a fragment of all the sightings, we cannot guess at how long this has been going on, or what the real scope of the phenomenon is.
February 3, 1996
Q: (L) OK, can we ask now about el Chupacabras?
A: It is what it is.
Q: (L) It is a “goat-sucker.” Where does it come from?
A: Review transcripts re: “window-fallers.”
Q: (L) If it is a window-faller, does it come from another density, or a lateral dimension?
A: Closer to the latter.
Q: (L) OK, so it is like a horizontal dimension. What allowed it to enter our realm?
A: This is complex, but best described as “EM wave bursts along frequency border variation.”
Q: (L) Is there some way to capture or stop this creature?
A: You do not yet completely understand all the “mechanics” of the window-faller phenomenon. The physicality is entirely transitory and partially dependent upon consciousness variabilities, as well as expectations of witnesses.
Q: (L) Does the energy of the fear of the witness enable the creature to continue its existence? Does it feed on the excitement and fear, and is that what makes it manifest?
A: Close, but off a little. It is the other way around, and retro-factored by one half.
Q: (L) What do you mean by that?
A: It is mutual, rather than unilateral. Also, remember that a window-falling represents a cross-energizing of realities, equally represented from each “dimension” in question. In other words, because the dimensional curtain has been “torn,” half of one and half of the other contributes to the whole reality.
Q: (L) Does this mean that something from our reality is also scaring something in that other reality?
A: No, it does not “work” that way at all.
Q: (L) Is there any possibility that this mutual creature is going to turn its attention from animals to humans?
A: Ditto last answer. And review response prior to that! […] First of all, confusion abounds here due to incorrect interpretations of the last subject discussed. Dimensions are not densities!!!! Dimensions are strictly the result of the universal consciousness as manifested in the imagination sector of thought. Density means level of development as measured in terms of closeness to union with the One... cycle. So, obviously, the “chupacabras” is a manifestation of human consciousness, and, human beings are a manifestation of the Chupacabras consciousness. Get it? Now, a shocker for you: You would not exist if someone didn’t “dream you up.”
Commentary
Sightings of cryptids are often associated with animal deaths, disappearances, and mutilations, which will be the topic of a future post. The animals are usually found drained of blood, with no sign of blood at the scene. Keel discusses this in Chapter 13 of his Complete Guide, “Cattle Rustlers from the Skies.”
In the channeled Law of One material, “Ra” commented on this phenomenon, providing two (or three) options for what is performing these blood-draining mutilations: scavengers and/or underground-dwelling creatures made by negative alien groups, and “thought-forms” that seem to be equivalent to window-fallers:
January 31, 1981
Ra: […] The greater part of your so-called mutilations take place according to the ways of your second-density beings [i.e. animals] which feed upon carrion. A portion of these so-called mutilations are those which are of what you may call multi-dimensional type: a thought-form construct using various parts in order to have life and being in third density.
Questioner: Where do these thought-forms come from?
Ra: […] Firstly, they come from the Creator. Secondly, they come from what you may call, lower astral in plane, thought. Thirdly, in construct visualization complex they reside in part beneath the crust of your planet. […] These entities may take any thought-form associated with an emotion of fear or terror.
Questioner: Are these thought-forms able to attack only cattle or can they also attack human beings?
Ra: […] These thought-forms cannot attack third-density [i.e. human] beings.
March 24, 1981
Ra: […] there is a link between energy centers and various thought-forms. Thus the fears of the mass consciousness create the climate for the concentration upon the removal of bodily parts which symbolize areas of concern or fear in the mass consciousness. […] The thought-form entities feed upon fear; thus they are able to do precise damage according to systems of symbology. The other second-density types [i.e. animals] of which you speak need the […] blood.
Questioner: These other second-density types need the blood to remain in the physical? Do they come in and out of our physical density from one of the astral planes?
Ra: […] These entities are, shall we say, creatures of the Orion group. They do not exist in astral planes as do the thought-forms but wait within the Earth’s surface.
The next Cassiopaea session also deals with cave-dwelling creatures of the “Orion” group (i.e. negative 4th-density beings).
October 22, 2008
Q: (L) Galatea also asks: Are there monsters in caves all over the world?
A: No, not every one. P4 P3 P2 monsters are most usual.
Q: (L) What is a P4 P3 P2 monster?
A: Species designation.
Q: (L) Species designation by whom? Maybe I don’t want to know!
A: Their creators aka 4D.
Q: (L) Was this little monster that we got this picture of that was supposed to be in the Cheddar caves, was that one of these P4 P3 P2 monsters?
A: P3.
Q: (L) Aah! Creepy! Are P3 or P4 worse or creepier?
A: Depends on your perspective.
Q: (Galatea) Are there monsters in the caves in Malta too?
A: Oh, yes.
Q: (Galatea) OK, we’ve got to go! (Chu) Was this bird sound flapping and hitting my door a creature?
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) Which caves do the monsters dwell in?
A: Research for answer.
Commentary
The Cheddar Cave goblin photograph is controversial. Whereas cave marketing manager Bob Smart reportedly told Fortean Times in 1995 that the goblin was part of their exhibit, a 2002 email from cave employee Kate Walton denied it was one of theirs. Only since 2009 have various people taken photographs of or with an obvious sculpture there (see this comparison). (The first seems to have been taken by Turkish journalist and debunker Ali Muret Guven.) Either way, the creature bears a passing resemblance to the 1955 Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter “goblins.”
On Malta, see Stephan D. Mifsud, The Maltese Bestiary: An Illustrated Guide to the Mythical Flora and Fauna of the Maltese Islands (2014).
June 9, 2009
Q: (Galatea) Are there any monsters living in caves in France?
A: Yes.
Q: (laughter) (Andromeda) There has to be at least one cave monster question per session with Galatea. (Galatea) I don’t have to go to Malta! Which direction, north, south, Paris, east, west – what caves?
A: Massif Centrale.
Q: (Galatea) Where is it? (L) Don’t encourage her! (P) Is it related to the Beast of Gévaudan?
A: Yes.
Q: (P) Does that mean that the beast that was sighted in the eighteenth century is still there?
A: Or a relative and others.
Q: (P) But there are no reports since the eighteenth century.
A: Wait for the window to open again.
Q: (P) It will come back. (Andromeda) When it came the first time it was…
A: That one was someone’s “pet”.
Q: (Galatea) Is there a way to track them so I can find them? I just want to take a picture.
A: No dice! […] Believe us, you don’t want a picture! […] Remember the “Cheddar” monster? That was a young one!
October 11, 2014
Q: (L) Now, we have this question that Galatea wanted me to ask. Does anybody know if there are any more reports of ghostly black-eyed children other than this one? [Waving printed article.] […] (Perceval) It started years ago, like maybe 8 or 9 years ago. (Chu) Well, they said the first one was in the 1800s. (Perceval) No, but I mean in the modern age. […] (L) So, anyhow it says:
New report of ghostly black-eyed children sightings in Cannock Chase
A paranormal investigator is appealing for witnesses after a resurgence of sightings of an eerie entity known as the “black-eyed child”.
Lee Brickley is scouring the Staffordshire beauty spot of Cannock Chase after receiving claims the girl, “who has coal-black pits for eye sockets” is making appearances again some 30 years after she was first spotted.
Brickley, who is the author of UFOs Werewolves & The Pig-Man: Exposing England's Strangest Location – Cannock Chase, received the latest report a fortnight ago. [...]
Online fiction forum Creepypasta Wiki also references a “black-eyed people”, though these sightings were predominantly across the pond in North America
The site, which also spawned the legend of Slender Man, adds they are:
“Often children, with eyes that are solid black with no differentiation between sclera, pupil, or iris, and are occasionally reported to have blue or bluish tinted skin like that of a corpse.
“Those who report encounters with them often feel that the children were somehow supernatural and extremely dangerous though they could not explain why.”
[…] (L) OK, is there any reality to these “children” people are witnessing?
A: Window-fallers at approach of the Wave or at points of realm border weaknesses due to some related phenomenon. Things like jumbo jets exiting and other things entering. Things will get a lot more interesting along this line soon.
Q: (L) So you mean like UFOs coming in, window-fallers coming in, ghosts or paranormal phenomena coming in and going out, all kinds of weird stuff? (Kniall) And jets disappearing from radar and then coming back. (Perceval) Breton filmed a strange light in the sky about half an hour ago outside. Was that a UFO?
A: A case in point. We said that a “convention” was on the agenda some “years” ago.
Q: (L) So, it’s going to be the old playing of “Pomp and Circumstance,” eh? (Perceval) UFOs, and Mothmen, and black-eyed weirdlings... (Andromeda) There have been a lot of weird sightings lately.
March 14, 2015
Q: (Galatea) The evil black-eyed children that knock on people’s doors, and they ask to come in. They just scare people. […] But what do they do if you actually let them in? Do they suck your energy or eat you? […]
A: Not much!
Q: (L) If they’re window-fallers, they’d probably come in and then disappear. Poof! (Galatea) So they’d just walk in, and look all scary, and then that’s it? (L) Pretty much.
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) Well, that’s not fun! (Perceval) That’s what most of those window-fallers do. They just stare at people and creep them out. (L) And suck people’s fear. (Perceval) Every now and then, one of them might chew on a human or something, but mostly they just scare people.
March 21, 2015
Q: (L) “The Black-Eyed Kids (BECs) entities seem to have in their agenda to obtain the permission by their human victims to gain access to them. Is this assumption correct?”
A: No.
Q: (L) “If yes, then the BECs, said to be window-fallers, do they use this access to steal energy from humans for trying to return to their realm of origin?”
A: No, they need energy to stay in your realm.
Q: (L) Well, let me ask... Is it possible that this rash of Black-Eyed Children and other strange entity-related phenomena is a side effect or a result of having so much technology around?
A: Now you have opened a real can of worms!
Q: (L) So, basically by having so much technology, microwaves, and all that kind of stuff, we’re basically feeding entities in other realms and enabling them to enter ours?
A: Pretty much! Fun for materialists galore!
Q: (L) In other words, people who believe only in technology are in for a big surprise?
A: Yes.
Q: […] (Perceval) Is it because those kinds of microwaves and other kinds of waves transcend, or are perceived in other dimensions?
A: Yes.
Q: […] (Scottie) That answers my question from before: Why did technology evolve the way that it did? Like why electronics, microchips, and so on when there are other types of technology that could have developed? They had to make the soup!
October 26, 2015
Q: (Galatea) Have any of our pets ever seen any mysterious creatures in the yard?
A: Many!
Q: (Galatea) I knew it! [laughter] Is that why at some point Kitty was very afraid to go outside?
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) What did she see?
A: Window-faller.
Q: (Galatea) […] Can you give us a description or tell us what it looked like? Why was it so frightening?
A: Large smelly bird.
Q: (L) Mothman! [laughter] […]
A: Close.
Q: (Scottie) I may have heard the Large Smelly Bird flying around many years ago when I was freaked out. The flappy noise... (Perceval) And the baby crying noise! (Galatea) I knew she had seen something because she wouldn’t go outside for like 2 years at one point. (L) When was the last time we’ve seen evidence of this? (Galatea) […] There was one time when I saw really big strange footprints outside. Was that the footprints of a strange creature?
A: Yes.
Q: (Pierre) How big was it? (Galatea) Andromeda saw them with me. They were like this-big around, pretty huge. (Pierre) It’s a big foot. I mean, the foot is big. [laughter] (Galatea) I saw the claw marks in the dirt, and I thought, “What kind of animal makes that print?” (Pierre) We should have made a plaster cast. (Galatea) How can we see these things? I wanna take a picture! (L) With all this noise you’ve been making, I would think you wouldn’t want to! (Galatea) Should we be worried about...?
A: Get a sec cam.
Q: (Galatea) We need to get security cams and put them all around the house! (Pierre) They have some for hunting, and they can see in the dark. Motion detector ones are for game. […] (Galatea) The next question I wanted to ask is: Are our pets in danger from these creatures?
A: No.
Q: (Galatea) That’s good. They freak them out and just leave them alone.
A: Ephemeral to some extent.
Q: (L) I think they would have a hard time retaining any solidity. The same reason we can’t shoot them is the same reason they can’t attack our dogs. You stay on your side of the curtain, and I’ll stay on mine!
Commentary
One of the sounds often associated with such creatures, including Bigfoot, is the sound of a woman screaming or a baby crying, a feature highlighted in season 2 of the paranormal documentary series Hellier (2019) along with cave-dwelling goblins like that depicted in the Cheddar cave photograph.
February 27, 2016
Q: (Galatea) Can I ask a question? Did you guys read that article about that couple who claims they invited black-eyed kids into their house? Is that true?
A: Hoax.
October 15, 2016
Q: (Galatea) What was the howling Scottie and I heard? […] (Possibility of Being) I heard it the other night. It started with barking, and then changed to howling. (Galatea) That wasn’t what we heard. (Scottie) I only heard howling. (Galatea) So what caused the howling?
A: Small Mothman-type creature.
Q: (Galatea) A baby Mothman! (laughter) […] (Scottie) So when I decided not to go outside and investigate with a flashlight, that was probably the right decision. (Galatea) I wanted to go out and look, but I was like, “Nooo…” (L) So it’s in the trees, not on the ground? (Galatea) That scratching noise I heard?
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) It was scratching with its claws on the tree?
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) Were they long and talon-like?
A: Yes.
Q: (Galatea) Oh my God! (laughter) (Andromeda) Did it have red eyes?
A: Yes.
Q: (Pierre) Is it still there?
A: No. Intermittent.
Q: (Joe) Where did you hear it? (Galatea) On that big tree outside the upstairs girls’ bathroom window. (Scottie) No, no, what I heard was outside the white bathroom window, and the far side of the house. (Galatea) Was there more than one, or just one?
A: One.
Q: (L) And what has attracted this thing to our location? […]
A: Just passing “through”.
Q: (L) Just passing through densities, I imagine.
