The Encounter

The experiencer was a young girl, just before her sixth birthday, trying to fall asleep when she saw a light and gray beings. She recalls being on an exam table and feeling pain in her foot. Then, she found herself in a room with a black glass floor and gray tubing. A green mantis appeared and communicated with her telepathically, asking if she wanted to play a game. They played a game involving glowing shapes. The mantis reassured her about the pain in her foot, saying it was for observation and would be felt before storms. After the encounter, she returned to her room and saw three lights moving away. She later told her mother about the experience and felt she had an implant in her foot. The encounter left her with a belief in ongoing effects related to the pain in her foot.
