When Entities Collide: Ghosts, Aliens, MIBS, and Entities and The Trickster Faeries by Regan Lee

Purposeful Silliness
Hank's beings behaved strangely. They seemed to be 'spying' on him, and there is, as with a lot of these kinds of stories, an element of silliness to it. It's all very cloak and dagger; taking notes, stage whispers, peering in windows, etc. UFO, entity and Bigfoot lore often contain elements of nonsense. What's the point, the purpose? A lot of the time it doesn't seem to be any point at all, other than the silliness or confusion for its own sake. Well, maybe that's the point. And why the Trickster is called the Trickster.
Were these entities 'ghosts?' Or were they entities, possibly aliens or ETs of some type? Possible; though no UFO activity has been experienced at that property.(Yet the area has its share of strange sightings in the past, including orange orbs and strange hums.) MIBS? Are MIBS aliens, or something else? Or a combination of some of these things?
Are some of these things: poltergeists, 'ghosts,' MIBs, Bigfoot, aliens a type of fairy? Not the kind we usually tend to think of; the small, delicate pretty Victorian age fairies, but 'faery' in the true sense. Celtic lore, for example, has a rich taxonomy of faery beings: the Pookah could be a form of Bigfoot, etc. See my Trickster's Realm article: Fairies, Bigfoot and Hauntings. Bigfoot and cryptid researcher Loren Coleman has made the connection as well; considering the Green Man- Bigfoot connection.
Many have written on these related ideas: Jacques Vallee (Passport to Magonia,) Brad Steiger, Patrick Harpur (Daemonic Reality,) and George Hansen (The Trickster and the Paranormal,) John Keel, to name a few.
Trickster, faery, or aliens, psy ops, spooks or ghosts, MIBS or Bigfoot, often these beings seem to be one thing, then another; the distinctions aren't so easy to make. We can't always so neatly say a thing is definitely, and only, a ghost, a Bigfoot, an alien. We simply don't know, and some paranormal experiences seem to blur these distinctions, maybe even intentionally at times.
