Hello all, from between 1997-2003 there was an English documentary show called ‘The Why Files’ on the Live TV channel. The documentary covered anything supernatural or paranormal in the world, things from ghost sightings to alien encounters. Very very few of these episodes are archived on YouTube, but the one I’m looking for isn’t there, and I’m wondering if anyone has or can remember the one that I’m talking about.

The episode had a re-enactment of two brothers in their 20’s-30’s, and their sister. They were having a family catch up conversation in a kitchen. All of a sudden the three all felt a static energy in the air. The youngest brother said “I just had a premonition of our nan dying”. Then all of a sudden the dog started to bark and get aggressive. The younger brother tried to take control of the dog, and then it was followed by the sister screaming and pointing in the doorway. They described sitting in the doorway was a ‘little man in black’ ‘being’ ‘alien’ that was looking at them, and then it ran upstairs.

The older brother said in panic he grabbed a knife from the kitchen cupboard and chased it. They searched the house and it was nowhere to be seen. The older brother said he never wanted to harm it, but grabbing the knife was a panic reaction. He said that night he had a nightmare of walking into his garden and there was a pond, but he doesn’t have one. And sitting by it was the little alien creature, but it had a frowning face and a pointed hat on. He said he felt like the creature was angry at humanity, but he didn’t understand why. He then looked to the sky and it was filled with UFOs, hundreds of them, filling the sky. And then he woke up. The next morning his family alerted him that his nan had passed away.

The rest of the episode was about other people’s UFO encounters, but this one stood out the most to me.

This was one of the most creepiest documentaries and re-enactments I’d ever seen of an alien encounter on television. I haven’t seen it since between 1997-2003 and it looked like it was filmed around 1997-1999. The IMDB page for the show doesn’t even list this episode as most of the episodes are lost media. I have been searching since I was a child for this documentary episode and now I’m 32. I would really like to see it again and to show other people who are into this subject, it was extremely creepy and well put together.

Thank you!
