Sleeping Dogs & the Red Sphere – Bedroom encounter, cross-eyed strangers & a fog-screen projection in Sospel, Alpes-MaritimesThis week on Stories Lost, we travel to Sospel, southern France, where a 65-year-old witness known as Ilona described a two-hour nocturnal visit ending at 4:00 a.m. The phenomenon straddles dream & staging: a dissolving sphere, tall beings with pupils set close to the nose, and a yard-side “projection” of human history across fog. Investigators J. C. Dufour & Marc Tolosano judged Ilona calm and balanced; later readings, from Jean Sider’s lead to Emmanuel Dehlinger’s critique, probe manipulation versus encounter.🔹 Red orb dissolves into four figures🔹 Guard dogs watch, utterly mute🔹 Fog-screen shows wars in sepia🔹 Yellow-green shoulder “ranks” noted🔹 Ramp to dark oval craftThis episode weaves together the fieldwork of J. C. Dufour and Marc Tolosano with LDLN’s editorial framing, alongside critical readings by Emmanuel Dehlinger. It traces Ilona’s testimony from bedroom to hillside, and from belief to contested interpretation.Online Sources: https://archive.org/details/LDLN_lumieres_dans_la_nuit_pdf_collection/LDLN%20-%20No%20299/page/n15/mode/2upChapters0:00 – The Red Sphere & Four Figures1:02 – Sospel, the Setting (valley, crossroads, history)3:13 – LDLN’s Caution & Dufour’s First Visit5:17 –The Encounter begins8:12 – “Touch me” — “We come from very far away”9:13 – Outside: The Sepia Projections of War11:39 – Back in the Bedroom: Q&A & a Promise to Return12:50 – The Craft14:12 – Aftermath: Doubt, Slope Trace & Rank Stripes17:39 – Competing Explanations & Final Reflections👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy forgotten casework and eerie true accounts.👽 Support the channel:Support the channel:https://www.youtube.com/@storieslost/membershiphttps://buymeacoffee.com/storieslosthttps://www.patreon.com/c/StoriesLost
