Description

It started on September 1, 1944, in the quiet town ofMattoon, Illinois. Aline Kearney was home with her three-year-old daughter while her husband was away in the Navy. Her sister Martha was staying with them.

That night, Aline smelled a strange, sweet odor. Suddenly,her legs went numb, and her throat felt tight and dry. Martha didn’t smell anything, but she called her husband, Burt, for help. When Burt arrived, he spotted a tall man in dark clothes and a tight cap standing outside a bedroom window. He tried to catch him, but the man vanished into the night.

Aline recovered within 30 minutes.
But this was only the beginning.
