A listener writes “I grew up in Lexington KY although not originally from here we moved here from Arizona when I was about 3 yrs old. My stepfather was a avid outdoors person he was divorced from my mother but always had us on the weekends and i pretty much grew up camping, fishing, canoeing, little hunting, hiking.

I work in construction and I have been self employed for the last 10 yrs. I mostly now a days do tile and hardwood but have done about everything in residential home construction. I met a guy who’s name is Jon Carloftis hes a kentucky native who is as I’ve been told a world famous landscaping architect, if your from the central KY area and are in the older social scene you would know at least about this guy.

At the time I had a real heavy workload so I planned on going down on a Saturday morning and working all day and night till the job was done. I was hoping there might be a campsite somewhere nearby and i was gonna either take a tent or camp out of my car.

I got down there and got to working Saturday mid morning and as it got dark I was still going strong I was making good progress and figured around 3 or 4 in the a.m. I might have time for a little nap. After it got dark I would periodically go outside to take a breather and just look at the stars. Lexington isn’t by any means a big city but it has enough light pollution you can only see the major constellations and I love seeing the milky way. It was mid to late April and everything was starting to come out. Insects were out and so were the frogs and every time I went out it you could really hear them.

I kept on making good progress so around probably 245 3 I made a little bed on the floor and figured I’d take about a 2 hour nap. I had gone outside right before this and it was just dead silent not a frog or insect could be heard, i did hear something weird though I could hear this one bird making a call and then from another area I would hear a answer.

It wasn’t a owl but I figured there might be another type and since it was spring that it might be looking for a mate. This is when I think it happened , ever since my first ghost encounter if I’m not in what I consider a safe and familiar place and am alone if I go to sleep I usually turn on some music just so I’m not listening to or have to hear weird noises for me it takes any possible fear/scare factor out of the equation. So I am starting to nod off which I thought I would have no trouble in doing since I was beat but I guess I had enough energy running threw me still from working that I didnt just pass out.

The front of this house was all glass paned doors as it had originally been a country store before being converted into a residential building. So I’m laying on my side looking away from the doors and I get this feeling like I’m being watched. At first I thought I was dreaming but i cant ever think of a time when I dream am I in the same spot as I went to sleep in, so I slowly turn over and in the last door looking in I saw it , I could pretty much just see the face and it was hideous, I hate to put it like that but if it was a bigfoot it was no harry and the hendersons lovable face. If you have ever seen jeepers creepers the closest thing I could describe it as would be having the face of the creeper but with some light hair, I mean this thing looked evil. I don’t know he might have been an alright dude but he was not blessed with any good looks.”
