593: Earth's Mantis Overlords | They've Been Here all Along (STRIPPED)

What would you do if you felt eyes watching you, turned around, and saw a seven-foot insect-like creature? Since 2006, people fishing along the Musconetcong River in New Jersey have reported encounters with exactly that – a being that looks like a humanoid praying mantis.

These aren't just sightings – witnesses report telepathic contact and the sensation of having their memories extracted. The encounters follow a consistent pattern: electronics malfunction, forests go silent, and witnesses experience a strange humming vibration.

What's even more compelling is that mantis beings appear in ancient artwork worldwide, from 8,000-year-old cave paintings to Egyptian texts. Are these interdimensional entities that have been watching humanity since the beginning of civilization?

We examine the theories – from evolved Earth insects to extraterrestrial visitors – and the strange possibility that these beings might be using the fault lines along the Musconetcong River as a doorway between worlds.
