I guess I'll just throw this experience out there..

So I've been very skeptical of my experiences related to NHI lately. As an adult they've all happened after I went to sleep, so they could have been dreams. I went to sleep, had experiences, and then woke up. I can mental gymnastics all sorts of things but most of these? They could have been dreams.

But when I was like.. 3-4 years old, I had an experience. I didn't know anything about ETs/NHI/UFOs, nothing like that. My parents were very strict and didn't even let me watch Ninja Turtles because they believed it would "mislead me" into eastern mysticism, or something. So I'd never seen anything about aliens either, because back then they were like.. puritans.

So this experience I am referring to? I do not know if this happened before I went to sleep, I truly do not know. I just have this memory of running through what seemed to be a building. It wasn't a ship I don't think, it was a building. I was running away from someone, but I don't remember why, I don't even remember feeling afraid to be honest.

I ran until I came across this door that opened by itself and hid inside. It was like a storage room. I don't remember what was in there. I waited for a bit and then this tan or brown colored "mantis" being appeared in the doorway. The door opened by itself and this being was there. I don't remember anything after that.

But years later after I started learning about this stuff, I came across an image of an NHI that someone drew, and it's supposedly a portrait of a "mantis being." It looked a -lot- like the being I encountered in this experience. I know this was a long time ago but it has stuck with me this entire time. For years I didn't know what to think about it, but when I started learning about ETs/NHI in 2009, that memory became more relevant.

I am sure that there are many mundane explanations for this and I have no basis to debate anyone in regards to the nature of these memories. I just feel like this is relevant and want to throw it out there! Whatever you think of this, I won't be offended in any way! It was an experience and this is life. I can't prove it was "this" or "that". I don't even know what to think if it myself. Could it have been NHI? Sure.. but it's conjecture at this point.

I do not know if what I experienced was NHI. This would have been between 1991 and 1993. I was literally a toddler. I don't have a lot of memories from that time but this one? It's still there, front and center, and has been ever since.
