Last week was hell week. On Tuesday, February 4, 2025 I spent all day on Zoom in a forced arbitration one-day Expedited Fast Track Award in Two Weeks Evidentiary Hearing hosted by the American Arbitration Assocation with assets of over $107 MILLION US dollars. I was sued by Atlantic Building Systems, a Delaware Incorporated Limited Liability Company Doing Business as Armstrong Steel in Colorado for breach of contract. I had, according to their general counsel, Repudiated THEIR contract by declaring null and void. I declared it null and void because the company uses bait and switch and high pressured sales tactics. Click on the link to watch one of the news reports about the class action lawsuit and all the irate customers who have been silenced for the most part.

This is my hero! Wish we could do the Haka in our courts or in Congress.

My girlfriend, Ännie who had been in the truck the day I got the phone call from the sales rep and her fiancè had spent the night so Ännie could appear as a witness if called. She was and she did a great job. Two days later on Thursday, February 6 shortly before 11 am, Alex was heading towards town from the gravel pit at the end of Last Chance Road in Elko – the same road where I got the fateful call from Armstrong Steel in 2023, when while on a sharp blind curve on the gravel, a speeding black Nissan came right at Alex. This was the first time EVER that Ännie and her dog, Bandit were not in the truck.

Alex swerved and the truck rolled and he was thrown clear. Truck got damaged but Alex was miraculously not killed nor injured – hurt his back, but it’s healing.

Okay, but here is where it gets weird. The black Nissan could only have traveled on up to the end and gone through the gate to the gravel pit and it didn’t. It was never seen again.

WAS IT a phantom or what’s called a GENIUS LOCI??????

WHAT is a genius loci you ask? Let’s back up a month to June 2021 not long before Mr. Littell was attacked by pit bulls on July 8, 2021 ON LAST CHANCE ROAD! Sometime in late May or early June of 2021 I saw a comment on the Facebook page for Skinwalker Ranch. One of the members of the group posted a comment about his first hand account of encountering a genius loci. His friend saw a truck barreling towards him in the dark and he, himself, saw a gray alien. Click on the screenshot for a great article about genius loci and landscapes.

A genius loci might be an earth spirit (known as chthonic forces) which had never inhabited human form.

What Michael Willis described is really scary. I told him to get in touch with Joshua P. Warren and Josh had him on his podcast. Click on the screenshot to hear it.

The transcript is available and this is where I come in.

Well, you are about to hear the actual words of a guy who says he’s an ex military man who has a heck of a tale and he has never been on a show before, so this is breaking. This is the first time. And I was referred to this guy by a regular listener named Barbara Thank you, Barbara, and I want to reiterate something to all of you. I received thousands of emails each week from people who want to come on this show and tell a story, and as a general rule, I usually don’t allow it. And the reason is that I want to be different from everyone else. This is not primarily an interview show.

Josh goes on to describe how he rarely ever has a guest on. He then talks about a test he does to decide if a person is telling the truth, etc. All that said, Josh then introduces Michael Willis who lives in Washington State. Sometime in 2010 or 2011 Michael was hunting in Alabama with a close friend. If you do not live in the United States, Washington is up by Canada on the Pacific side of the country and Huntsville, Alabama is in the deep state in the now named Gulf of America.

It was in Huntsville where the two men encountered a genius loci!

Now it’s important to point out that Michael is a retired sailor with eleven years out
at sea with a background in what he called Intel which is basically saying he was in Intelligence not just a regular enlisted sailor. He was also in the Merchant Marines. Michael was also a firearms salesman and range instructor so he was not some desk job guy working in a cubicle all day. This is someone with outdoor survival skills.

Michael goes on to talk about Roman mythology to give the audience an idea of what a genius loci is. Click on the links above. To quote Michael “The Romans believed that if you
were strong enough of spirit, like the emperors when they passed away, they would their spirit would guard the empire, or they would guard Rome or Byzantium or certain cities”.

This scene is next to impossible to watch. It is a Thai TV series which aired on Netflix. You can watch it on YouTube with Thai subtitles, but I cannot find a channel that has English. If it ever becomes available again, I highly recommend it. The gist is that the king’s guard is forced to behead his wife who is a temple dancer. He adores her and yet as the temple dancer who is dedicated to the protection of the empire, her soul is the one who must guard the treasure of the kingdom. Once she is chained and beheaded her soul or spirit is stuck and must guard not only the treasure, but she is forced to slaughter (not just kill) evil doers and escort them to HELL!

I blogged about it

A Thai Temple Dancer Goes to Court

This is extremely gruesome so be forewarned. The scene takes place Ayutthaya in April 1760 as the Burmese attacked and massacred the Ayutthayan people and foreign merchants on the southern moat. Minkhaung Nawrahta fires cannons into the Ayutthaya citadel, damaging structures including Ekkathat’s royal residence. This temple guard takes his wife into a secret treasure chamber, chains her to the floor and beheads her forcing her soul to guard the temple forever. GORGEOUS filming and costumes but gory. VERY gory. And you have to have some understanding of Thai culture and history to appreciate the script. If you just want to watch a great series for the cinematography and acting, if it’s ever back on, do try to watch it.

So back to Michael. He says that Huntsville, Alabama is known as Rocket City because of their relationship with NASA. Michael and his best friend who had also been in the Navy like to go exploring spooky places. They decided to check out Hell’s Gate. The legend says that if you drive up to this old, beat up, wrought iron gate and park your car, within minutes, a huge black vehicle black truck would appear from down the driveway and chase you away.

The locals tell stories claiming that if the truck ever caught you horrific horrible things would happen to you. So off these two sailors go to see if any of it as true.

They found the area during the day. There were no trespassing signs nor purple stickers on the on the trees. They went home and went on Google Earth to try and look and see if there
were any structures. They could not find an owner so they decided to go back at night. Michael drove his truck and parked right in front of the gate.

“For about five minutes, nothing happened. Then we decided to get a little braver and walk
up the driveway, which looking back, was not the smartest idea. Being a firearms instructor at the time I was I was carrying and you know, I know, don’t go into the woods without a sidearm in case you run into bears or or worse. And as we were walked up the driveway, we noticed that it overrun there was grass everywhere, about knee high weeds. I mean, there’s no way a car had ever been up and down this driveway for years.

Michael goes on to say that when they got “about a quarter mile in and there was a large field, no trees, no bushes, just a large empty field. Maybe a building had been there a long time ago, but nothing was there now. And we searched all over the area, didn’t find anything, but we were very clearly had a feeling of being watched, that there was something in the woods that was looking at us and watching us, and we decided to try and explore a little further. We decided to go off to one of the nearest paths to the driveway, and as we were walking up the path, I started hearing the sound of the best way I can describe it is like a chittering sound, like a like a chattering sound. No no real no words, just chitter, chitter, chitter like, almost an insect like sound.

And here is where it gets strange.

Michael’s friend told him once they got to safety, that he had started hearing the sound of a large car engine revving. Michael, on the other hand, as they got further into the woods, started seeing things out of the corner of his eyes, darting from tree to tree to tree.

Michael has is terrified of the very thought of alien abduction. A few nights before the two men had watched The Fourth Kind

Michael looked at his friend and I asked if he heard or saw anything. All his friend heard was a truck sound. “I clearly I remember looking up the path just a little bit and I saw what looked to me to be a gray and alien lean out from one of the trees and then go back in”. While talking, Michael spots a gray and says to get out of there. They started walking as fast as they could both hearing something behind them so they started to run.

Michael says “the whole way you could hear these things, something behind us following us. We stopped about and neither one of us were the best of shape, and we stopped for just a few seconds. About half we count the driveway, and I turned around to look at my friend, and standing probably five ft behind him in the middle of this you know, fifteen ft wide, old broke down driveway was what looked like to me, a gray like you’d see in these space movies, and it was reaching out to grab my friend’s shoulder, and I reached out, grabbed my friend, threw him as fast as I could behind me while yelling run, and with my other hand, I drew my side arm, slammed it out and pulled the trigger twice. And as I did that, this thing it just it vibrated like it started shaking, and then it disappeared right in front of my eyes. This thing just disappeared”.

From this point on I urge you to listen to Michael tell the rest. It has all the suspense and drama you could hope for.

Now back to Last Chance Road and the blind curve on gravel and the Black Nissan. I called my friend Melodee to tell her about the accident and she blurted out “I ALMOST got hit by that SUV and I saw it go through the gates racing towards the gravel pit!” Click on the image. This is a Facebook reel I did last summer. Got told to get out I did. I tried to explain I’m from New Jersey and I had never seen anything like this. Didn’t matter. Get out.

So the mystery still hasn’t been solved. WHO drives a black Nissan SUV at what seems like 90 miles per hour on a gravel road paralleling the Humboldt River in Elko, Nevada?

I filmed this last summer when my friends ran out of water. They live off grid and it was super hot out. It’s a 4 minute video so you can see Last Chance Road where Mr. Littell who is in the front seat used to have to hike with his former owner. Now he’s my co-pilot.
