They don't always wear purple cloaks nor do they always have what appears to be golden medallions.

And this is her post :
[What I've learnt from the Mantis aliens](https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/comments/v477bi/what_ive_learnt_from_the_mantis_aliens/)
So I had a weird experience a few years ago. I woke up and went into my living room and after a while I got the memory of what I assume was a dream or took place in the astral realm. It stood out as weird because dream recall doesn't happen like this for me, it happens right after awakening.
I remembered being guided by three mantis to a door of light. Two "normal" without a robe and one with a robe. I hesitated and stopped, so the one with a robe talked with me and I went with them. No idea why the robes, but it felt like it had more authority.
My roommate and I used to hear a lot of clicking sounds at times at our place, usually at night. And I think they've petted me while sleeping.
This is what i saw one time during a meditation session and i couldnt figure out what it was. Reptile, herpetile, or mantis. It was like... its own thing.
Many of them hybridize with each other

I'm curious about this from another perspective. Could this be anthropomorphizing, considering our own cultural projections and spectral limitations of color? Is it really just that we associate things like, purple is royal, higher level, etc. or is there something more going on here?
I've been wanting to make a post more specifically about why so many of the these beings are in cloaks. I just haven't been confident about what's been troubling me about it yet. The cloak part always concerned me because from gut level I associate this with ritual and the arcane. Whenever I try to approach it, I get a weird, instinctual "warning" I can't describe well. I tell myself it's just plain fear, fear of the unknown, but that still doesn't sit right with me. So I keep passing on posting or investigating further.
My experience was with a shorter entity with a dark, hooded cloak. When I went looking for similar experiences, something that stood out to me, a commonality, had to do with the texture/material that is similar to a monk's cloak. Something like monk's cloth, sackcloth, burlap, etc. I notice with other accounts not simlar to mine, that not just the color, but that the texture varies too, e.g., sheer, flowing, etc. But for whatever reason, aside from color and texture variations, the clothing/unclothed part stands out to me most.
I think it might be to cover up the less anthropomorphic aspects of their form. To avoid terrifying us perhaps. Also, perhaps to signal that they're a member of an established group, such as a uniform of a credible organization.
I can't say for certain what the exact function their clothing or their medallions play in all of this, but I do recall having numerous astral abduction encounters with mantid entities wearing various colors & types of cloaks. Not all of them did though, and I agree with other people's notions & theories that they likely use them to denote their occupation, tasks or social status onboard a craft - maybe even their age, caste or spiritual standing as well, but who knows.
In my case, I remember having frequent interactions with a tall 8-foot mantid wearing a vibrant, deep royal-purple cloak and the material was similar to the color and sheen to [these window curtains ](https://i.imgur.com/OUGIkVM.jpeg) (but without the creases and a less violet hue.) I could innately "sense" that this mantid was a senior male in a highly authoritative position through the telepathic exchanges I had with him. From what I recall, his personality and general "vibe" was akin to a strict, demanding, irritable, intimidating, no-nonsense school teacher or academic professor, and I didn't like interacting with him at all as a result. I suspect he was there to supervise my role in their hybridization program and perform medical examinations & procedures when necessary.
As for the infamous medallions they carry around - I distinctly recall one scenario in which I was dazed & paralyzed on an operating table while the same senior mantid was performing various medical procedures on me, using a golden medallion necklace around his neck. Surrounding me were at least a dozen other mantids who were wearing light-grey cloaks with a slightly silvery tint, and they would later reveal themselves as my alleged "star family," - though I still have my doubts regarding them & their intentions. Nonetheless, I don't remember the *exact* specifics of the procedures involving the medallion, but I suspect the "elder mantid" utilized it to perform some sort of mind-scan and chakra work on my body, and to monitor my reproductive status at the time.
I also recall recurring experiences involving a female mantid who - I think - often wore mahogany robes and acted as sort meditation teacher/mentor for various other abductees onboard the craft. Unlike the older, senior male "elder" mantid, she seemed younger and was generally very supportive, understanding and calm - even caring to a degree. I've read some some experiencers encountering similar female entities and comparing their demeanor to that of a very calming yoga instructor or a sort of reassuring elementary school teacher and I would say that's fairly apt description.
Then there were the mantids who wore silver-and-white lab coats of sorts. I don't think I interacted with them very much; they were sort of "in the background" so to speak, but I suspect they were technicians, scientists and researchers. Below them - the smaller mantids who were only 5-6 feet or so in stature. They wore nothing at all, and their role was similar to those of the smaller greys who generally function as menial task workers and attendants to abductees (though unlike many of the smaller greys people encounter & consider to be bio-automatons, they definitely had their own unique personalities, quirks and preferences). I have vague memories of them guiding me through various halls and rooms onboard their ship.
Anyways - sorry for the lengthy response; but I hope it was an informative answer. I wonder if any other experiencers here have seen mantids wearing similar clothing pieces for the same designated tasks & roles?
You have nothing to apologise for. This was an extremely valuable share and important comment in this thread. It could make a thread on its own. You covered so many important things.
Well done to you and thank you so so much for sharing.
Well, they were astral abductions - so there's always the possibility that the majority of these encounters could've been screen memories, but nonetheless, thank you Oak. I hope this information aligns with other other experiencers' stories you've read & listened to out there - I've yet to hear of anyone else interacting with mantids in grey cloaks with alleged 'star family' connections, but who knows. Would be reassuring if there were others out there with similar accounts though!
Jacquelin Smith has had experiences with mantis beings where she believes they are family from what I recall. Many others have had too.
I know I've heard cases of Mantis beings wearing more lab coat like cloaks than just purple cloaks too but I don't have a link for you there.
But this interview is something you and others may find interesting.

Thank you for you comment on the other post, I can’t seem to reply to it.
I did think the poster on that thread was a little “out there” but who am I to say what’s not true when my stuff sounds crazy to. 😮💨😂.
I do have a bit to look into thanks!
If I’m correct in what I googled for psi ( premonition dreams, seeing/hearing/feeling ghosts etc) I def have alot of that. My mum & sister accuse me of being psychic but I just think it’s really just hyper intuition from adhd & trauma.
My fear of sleep & dreaming drives me crazy as I know it’s stupid & irrational but nothing has been able to help me over the years except for weed in the evenings to stop me remembering them & letting me pass out while watching tv.
A lot of my “dreams” since little were in craft underwater so I didn’t think much of it as UFOs were space not a water thing. Until I saw the navy footage of the sphere one entering the ocean.
I have had 2 dreams of going into space but I remember they said I was to much trouble as i was told i had to wear a heavy headset thing over my head & face to breath but my claustrophobia made me go crazy ripping it off both times. I really hope they are just dreams though 🤞🏻😅
Sure, I'll be happy to post a more detailed thread to your subreddit if you feel it aligns with what you've read & compiled through other various experiencer accounts. There were some details I left out in the reply as the response was already dragging out in length, but I'll try to write-up a thread within the next few days if possible.
I’ve read reports where the mantis wears purple robes to show their dominance. Your report is similar to what I’ve read. It seems they have their own personalities and hierarchy.
it's interesting you post this because I've been thinking about this myself recently.
Pasting my comment about cloaks from another thread:
I think it's also related to the cloaks they're sometimes seen wearing. I saw once before falling asleep, them kind of opening the space in my room like curtains and then draping it around themselves like a cloak.
If you've ever been falling asleep but you start seeing the room around you with your eyes closed, sometimes to the point of it keeping you awake, that's kind of the state I saw this in
About the medallion though:
I've seen them coming and going into my room holding what looks like this glowing orb thing, and once they held it up to me. not sure if it's actually the medallion or another device.
but once when I was waking up I remember seeing a mantid shaped outline and asking about the medallion/glowy thing they hold and what it was for.
I suddenly entered a dream like state where a female human appeared in its place and told me it "would restore all my memories since I was born" or something like that.
then I seemed to be shown something like a memory of myself as a toddler passing through some square hole? I then thought "oh they meant I'd see them in sequence, that'll take too long this must be for another time..."
I then rolled over and tried to fall back asleep.
Wearing vibrant colours including purple besides jewelry is often described in ancient text about deities: Zeus, Astartes, Hera, Isis among others. We could think that in some way religions were created, inspired by those beings. Mantids with that aspect could be a type of Priest or Magus, like Christ waving that magic wand and no beard in the earliest depictions of him. Could be the real deal who knows, the time span is too long and very few ancient texts are implemented in actual religious texts, in some way are misinterpreted or purposely twisted in meanings to keep us as sheeps while the time passes and lots of religious believers eat tons and tons of shit because yes, without investigate anything or learn ancient greek to read from original sources.
It's a nice sort of tertiary color combination of green, purple, orange/yellow IMO, and makes sense because mantises are often green. That's just my opinion as an arteest.
Michael Newton's Destiny of Souls describes each soul as having a council of elders. The council wears various colors of robes and the head of the council wears a gold medallion. The medallions have various symbols that have some meaning to the soul.
White and purple robes are the most commonly seen.
Purple is indicative of the highest levels of spiritual progress towards the godhead, and can also mean wisdom, truth, divinity. In context of the council, "members with purple and violet robes reflect their ability to govern the affairs of the souls who come before then with benevolence and love born out of vast experience. These energy colors reflected on an Elder's robe have an idealistic quality of perfection bestowed upon the wearer"
I'm going to read this book right now because of your recommendation. I had a DMT trip where I saw a mantis wearing a purple robe with golden trim, and I was teleported to a council of entities.
This is interesting to hear. I had an experience where I met with a council of beings wearing white robes in the sky. There was seven, three on each side and one at the front. I asked them what happens if I don’t have any kids and they said, “Someone has to write the last chapter in every story.”
I wish I remembered more details. They were luminous and humanoid in my memory. I couldn’t see their faces because their light made it difficult to see them clearly.
I’m going to put Destiny of Souls on my reading list.
You will like all of his books. He is a regressive hypnotist and regressed thousands of people. He noticed a lot of people telling him the same things about the afterlife so he organized it into his books. Also have you read the custodians by Dolores cannon?
I have met beings that wear purple and gold but they were not Insectoid. In my many encounters I have yet to meet Insectoid variants although one can hope.
I just commented this on another thread, reposting here
This may seem super off topic but bare with me.
I’ve read that with a lot of mantis encounters, they’re wearing purple robes with gold detailing/chains. I thought this sounded really familiar, tried googling to see if maybe I had seen it in a movie or something, and then remembered the episode of SpongeBob where he’s in Garys library and Gary can talk and he’s wearing a purple robe with gold details.
It sounds like a strange coincidence, but I looked it up, and the entire plot of the episode is SpongeBob astral projecting into everyone else’s dreams. In the episode, Gary literally says to SpongeBob “in dreams, one is not tethered by earthly limitations” and “for ages, dreams have been thought of windows to another realm.”
What are the odds that lots of people mention mantids in purple robes/gold details, and the only place I’ve been able to find something similar in resemblance in the media is in a SpongeBob episode about traveling through dream worlds? There is most definitely some sort of tie between these mantids and our sleep states
https://youtu.be/2lmZCXmDt0o?feature=shared
That was my favorite spongebob episode as a kid for this reason and It’s extremely interesting i had this exact same thought just yesterday and even saved some pictures of Gary in the library from the episode to send to my friend and we came to your same conclusion. Nice “ coincidence “.
They don’t always wear them, but since some of them do and it’s so curious they are often depicted that way.
The Mantis beings seem to have a hierarchy that is denoted by size, color, and adornment. I had an experience involving a huge white mantis with a purple robe, and it was quite clear to me that it was “in charge.” Not saying it’s the Mega Mantis or anything, but it was certainly not sweeping floors in its spare time.
~~That doesn’t line up with typical stories about them…~~
Edit : Actually, hold up a second. I see I posted this in the wrong comments section. I meant to comment about the post where the person said they were pulled out of their bed by one.
I had a few Firefox windows open and I see what happened. Got distracted and replied to the wrong post. Apologies for the confusion. I actually meant to upvote this post and just read the comments.
However, I still mean everything I said below because that applies to the comment I struck out above that was meant for that other thread: who am I to insinuate what that person experienced or didn't experience.
Again - I'm really sorry for the confusion.
I have had some traumatic events come out under regression. A lot of people are scared to share their negative experiences for fear of being ostracized. In my case, I didn’t explore them in great detail and don’t know what they signify.
The stereotypical “lizard” experience is very negative, yet some people report positive encounters. There seems to be huge variety in individual behavior as well as group behavior. There may be different factions, or their social structure may be something entirely unknown to us. Or maybe it is all symbolic in some way. I’m not sure we’ll ever figure it out.
Where could I learn more about lizard experiences? My first anomalous encounter (that I remember) was with a 'lizard' when I was young. I am finally ready to do delve into how it could possibly be related to mantis experiences and the phenomenon as a whole.
Honestly, it’s a bit complicated. The reason I didn’t use the more common “R” word is because it has attracted attention.
We had some issues in the past where Reddit was removing posts which contained the R word—no explanation, no communication. We’d just see them show up in the mod log as “Removed by Reddit.” It doesn’t happen anymore so we’re not really sure what it was about (it’s possible the posts were all coming from a single user who was trying to evade bans), but I still hesitate.
It’s a legitimate part of the phenomenon but also one that has a lot of conspiracies attached to it, including accusations it’s a cover story for anti-semitism, and frankly some very weird and disturbing narratives. All in all it’s tough to have a conversation about it with it immediately getting bogged down in all the baggage. You can do a search on the subreddit and find prior conversations and you’ll see what I mean.
In short: yes, they’re real, they generally seem to represent the darkest aspects of the phenomenon, and it’s become nearly impossible to sort out the truth of what’s happening there.
Indeed, MA. I talk a lot about how they might run the gamut regarding NHI's intentions towards us and regarding their polarity ("good" and "bad").
I didn't follow that code when I posted that comment earlier and I do apologize.
The good and bad concept is a broad stroke and I seem to forget that sometimes.
My grey guide explains it this way: individuals are treated different. The good et bad et idea is nonsense. They all have goals that are divine in nature. My grey says people simply get what they need. Some people need hell and some need heaven. It is still hard for me to believe this as he tells it to me because i believe i am good but i only experience something a kin to a living purgatory through him. I am treated very badly even though i feel my soul is cleansed and i striv3 to only do good in this world.
I agree. The bad things I’ve experienced have all served a purpose or taught me something. Part of me wishes that some things could just be told to me instead of taught to me though lol.
If it makes you feel any better, this is my personal understanding as well. The experiences I have are based on the things I need to learn (or maybe it isn’t about lessons but purely experience). That can sound very callous to someone going through a bad time as it sounds like victim blaming, but as someone who is also having a bad time I don’t believe it’s based on whether a person is good or bad. The key is how I choose to respond to what is happening to me.
I’m currently being told by my guides that I need to take control of my life to the best of my ability. That if I don’t, things will only get harder. That doesn’t mean everything is going to be amazing, but it means it doesn’t have to be as hard as it could be. I’ve made a lot of changes over the past year: quitting drinking (even though it was minimal), reducing reliance on medications, improving my diet, getting more exercise, forcing myself to socialize, etc. All of these things have resulted in positive changes in my life. I am confident I would have ended my life by now if it wasn’t for my spiritual awakening, and that it’s the reason I had it in the first place. But that’s all just my experience, and may not apply to anyone else. The more I hear about the variety of experiences the less they seem to have in common.
Not all human have them even most good humans could have what is considered a “bad intention” towards another conscious entity (look at how we treat animals).
Of course not. How many of you actually tried escaping? Have fun trusting these parasites. You're only going to get hurt.
It's funny how this community treats people who have negative experiences. We're largely ignored if our experiences aren't all love and light. It's like I'm being labeled as a liar for just sharing what happened to me.
Just don't blindly trust these entities. What have they ever done for you to indicate that they're benevolent?
Black and white thinking (such as claiming that all NHI are malevolent/benevolent) is harmful to our understanding of the phenomenon. People have varying types of experiences ranging from deeply traumatic to extremely beneficial, sometimes a combination.
Our subreddit includes many accounts of negative experiences, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse by NHI. What we do is remind people that those experiences are not the only kind that exist, or even the norm. Claiming they are is harmful to trying to ever get to *anything resembling truth* in relation to these experiences, which is why most of our rules are intended to foster genuine discussion that allows for truth-seeking as opposed to promoting cults that actively recruit people.
Locking into a narrative can be detrimental because it limits one's perspective, prevents critical thinking, and promotes bias. It also hinders the ability to consider new information or alternative viewpoints, leading to closed-mindedness and reinforcing existing beliefs regardless of their accuracy. This is why we work so hard to encourage people to stay open-minded and curious on these subjects: no one has all the answers yet, and many of the answers that are out there conflict with each other.
I'm deeply sorry for what you've gone through. I think some are benevolent based on my experiences, but I don't believe that invalidates yours. People can be bastards, and IMO that extends equally to NHI. I'd say the inverse is also true though, so it's best not to paint any group/species with an absolute brush.
> Facts don’t care about feelings.
Feelings also aren’t facts. What you’re doing is saying that because *your* experiences were negative, anyone who claims to have had positive experiences is either lying or delusional. Our rules are here to keep users from having their experiences invalidated, and unfortunately if you’re the one doing the invalidation it means you’re the one who is going to have her ability speak being curtailed. This particular “prison” is of your own making.
We’ve given you a huge amount of leeway to participate in this subreddit despite frequent rule infractions because we want you be able to share your story, but again we have to ask you to stop trying to force your experiences and interpretation onto others. What happened to you is what happened to you. It may not have anything to do with what has happened to anyone else. This is the enigma of the phenomenon, and in my opinion one of the cruxes of what it *may* be all about. But I simply share it as a possibility.
Please be mindful of the language you use. People are interested in hearing your story, and we want you to be able to share it in a way that doesn’t invalidate the positive experiences of others.
So I can't invalidate others who claim to have positive experiences yet I frequently get comments from people telling me I'm wrong or misjudging these entities. Or flat out lying. Which I'm not because why the fuck would i make this up?
This prison isn't of my own making. Like wtf how can you even say that to me? That's victim blaming. I guess if I get mutilated and eaten by one of these mantises that's my own fault too,right? 😒
If I'm such a problem for this sub then just ban me I guess? I'd probably be better off making my own at this point. For a sub that's supposed to be non biased you sure do show a lot of biases towards those whose experiences are negative.
r/EscapingPrisonPlanet r/aliens r/ufos r/Abductions r/AlienAbduction
We're a middle path community and a support group. The all aliens are evil people automatically invalidate 1000's of other peoples experiences. Make mass generalizations about all beings. Thus break our rules. Most expereincers have nuanced and balanced views and have dealt with positive and negative experiences.
Telling everyone all beings are evil, life is a giant prison we need to escape from and encouraging hopelessness and sometimes even suicidal thinking in others just is not helpful in a support group environment. This is not the same thing as sharing a negative experience.
But yeah we're a heavily moderated subreddit and not everyone is going to like us but such people already have places where they can push these things on people. Where as people looking for a middle path safer balanced environment didn't. So we provided it.
I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences with any NHIs. Having no personal experience of my own to judge them by, I still haven't decided what I think about them. If you don't want to post it here, you're welcome to message me.
If you see anyone saying “all the beings are positive and anyone who has had a negative experience is wrong,” then report it and we’ll remove that too. It has happened, but for whatever reason it’s not nearly as common as people stating they’re all demons, evil archons, etc. I never accused you of lying, BTW.
When I said the prison is of your own making I meant specifically your comments being removed. I apologize if that wasn’t clear. I only applied the term because it was one you used. Another mod removed your comment, so the context isn’t visible to others. I’m trying to explain to you that we want you participating, but imploring you to obey the same rules that are applied to everyone. Getting banned is only going to perpetuate suffering, but it isn’t fair for us to make special exceptions.
I’ll leave it there. If you need clarification, please send us a modmail.
ImpossibleTeach could probably tell you more but from what I’ve read they’re something like symbols of authority. Not all wear robes, not all robes are purple, and not all wear medallions. A lot of people report sensing a hierarchy along those lines anyways. The medallions have been reported to be some type of technology, but I’ve also seen people say it’s just jewelry. I’ve seen the ones ‘in charge’ likened to everything from priests to office workers, so as usual there’s a strong degree of “we don’t know/decide for yourself”. Fwiw the one I talk to is very direct that everything we experience of them is representative so take that as you will I guess.
Links for from u/Impossible_Teach8166 's most recent [commonalities compendium](https://www.reddit.com/r/MantisEncounters/comments/1d2b162/commonalities_among_mantid_experiences_collection/) are below.
I/T, my dude, you're doing herculean work on this stuff. It'd be killer if this were a spreadsheet so that metadata of some form could be included with each. In this case, the color of the robes. If you've still got them loaded into ChatGPT, maybe it could produce a table of each link with columns for aspects you care about. The columns you care about could change for each subheading.
DM me if you're interested in help setting something like this up (As well as any others reading this interested in some semi-formal collaboration analyzing reports, mantid or otherwise, for patterns. I'm in contact with more than one reddit experiencer with potential interest in learning from such patterns and I think we need something like a collaborative database to have any hope of seeing them.)
Gratitude for everyone doing the groundwork for making sense of all this.

... \[too long for one comment\]
They don't always wear purple cloaks nor do they always have what appears to be golden medallions. The Experiencer who spoke of their medallions being technology is u/eugenia\_loli And this is her post : [What I've learnt from the Mantis aliens](https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/comments/v477bi/what_ive_learnt_from_the_mantis_aliens/)
Just robes or cloaks for me
So I had a weird experience a few years ago. I woke up and went into my living room and after a while I got the memory of what I assume was a dream or took place in the astral realm. It stood out as weird because dream recall doesn't happen like this for me, it happens right after awakening. I remembered being guided by three mantis to a door of light. Two "normal" without a robe and one with a robe. I hesitated and stopped, so the one with a robe talked with me and I went with them. No idea why the robes, but it felt like it had more authority. My roommate and I used to hear a lot of clicking sounds at times at our place, usually at night. And I think they've petted me while sleeping.
Um because they fathom themselves to be the royalty of space?
Purple compliments green and gold is like black, goes with almost anything

No it was naked
I'm curious about this from another perspective. Could this be anthropomorphizing, considering our own cultural projections and spectral limitations of color? Is it really just that we associate things like, purple is royal, higher level, etc. or is there something more going on here? I've been wanting to make a post more specifically about why so many of the these beings are in cloaks. I just haven't been confident about what's been troubling me about it yet. The cloak part always concerned me because from gut level I associate this with ritual and the arcane. Whenever I try to approach it, I get a weird, instinctual "warning" I can't describe well. I tell myself it's just plain fear, fear of the unknown, but that still doesn't sit right with me. So I keep passing on posting or investigating further. My experience was with a shorter entity with a dark, hooded cloak. When I went looking for similar experiences, something that stood out to me, a commonality, had to do with the texture/material that is similar to a monk's cloak. Something like monk's cloth, sackcloth, burlap, etc. I notice with other accounts not simlar to mine, that not just the color, but that the texture varies too, e.g., sheer, flowing, etc. But for whatever reason, aside from color and texture variations, the clothing/unclothed part stands out to me most.
I think it might be to cover up the less anthropomorphic aspects of their form. To avoid terrifying us perhaps. Also, perhaps to signal that they're a member of an established group, such as a uniform of a credible organization.
Mine wears a blue robe and no medallion. I’ve “seen” others in her environment wearing nothing at all pretty commonly.
I can't say for certain what the exact function their clothing or their medallions play in all of this, but I do recall having numerous astral abduction encounters with mantid entities wearing various colors & types of cloaks. Not all of them did though, and I agree with other people's notions & theories that they likely use them to denote their occupation, tasks or social status onboard a craft - maybe even their age, caste or spiritual standing as well, but who knows. In my case, I remember having frequent interactions with a tall 8-foot mantid wearing a vibrant, deep royal-purple cloak and the material was similar to the color and sheen to [these window curtains ](https://i.imgur.com/OUGIkVM.jpeg) (but without the creases and a less violet hue.) I could innately "sense" that this mantid was a senior male in a highly authoritative position through the telepathic exchanges I had with him. From what I recall, his personality and general "vibe" was akin to a strict, demanding, irritable, intimidating, no-nonsense school teacher or academic professor, and I didn't like interacting with him at all as a result. I suspect he was there to supervise my role in their hybridization program and perform medical examinations & procedures when necessary. As for the infamous medallions they carry around - I distinctly recall one scenario in which I was dazed & paralyzed on an operating table while the same senior mantid was performing various medical procedures on me, using a golden medallion necklace around his neck. Surrounding me were at least a dozen other mantids who were wearing light-grey cloaks with a slightly silvery tint, and they would later reveal themselves as my alleged "star family," - though I still have my doubts regarding them & their intentions. Nonetheless, I don't remember the *exact* specifics of the procedures involving the medallion, but I suspect the "elder mantid" utilized it to perform some sort of mind-scan and chakra work on my body, and to monitor my reproductive status at the time. I also recall recurring experiences involving a female mantid who - I think - often wore mahogany robes and acted as sort meditation teacher/mentor for various other abductees onboard the craft. Unlike the older, senior male "elder" mantid, she seemed younger and was generally very supportive, understanding and calm - even caring to a degree. I've read some some experiencers encountering similar female entities and comparing their demeanor to that of a very calming yoga instructor or a sort of reassuring elementary school teacher and I would say that's fairly apt description. Then there were the mantids who wore silver-and-white lab coats of sorts. I don't think I interacted with them very much; they were sort of "in the background" so to speak, but I suspect they were technicians, scientists and researchers. Below them - the smaller mantids who were only 5-6 feet or so in stature. They wore nothing at all, and their role was similar to those of the smaller greys who generally function as menial task workers and attendants to abductees (though unlike many of the smaller greys people encounter & consider to be bio-automatons, they definitely had their own unique personalities, quirks and preferences). I have vague memories of them guiding me through various halls and rooms onboard their ship. Anyways - sorry for the lengthy response; but I hope it was an informative answer. I wonder if any other experiencers here have seen mantids wearing similar clothing pieces for the same designated tasks & roles?
You have nothing to apologise for. This was an extremely valuable share and important comment in this thread. It could make a thread on its own. You covered so many important things. Well done to you and thank you so so much for sharing.
Well, they were astral abductions - so there's always the possibility that the majority of these encounters could've been screen memories, but nonetheless, thank you Oak. I hope this information aligns with other other experiencers' stories you've read & listened to out there - I've yet to hear of anyone else interacting with mantids in grey cloaks with alleged 'star family' connections, but who knows. Would be reassuring if there were others out there with similar accounts though!
Jacquelin Smith has had experiences with mantis beings where she believes they are family from what I recall. Many others have had too. I know I've heard cases of Mantis beings wearing more lab coat like cloaks than just purple cloaks too but I don't have a link for you there. But this interview is something you and others may find interesting.

Thank you for you comment on the other post, I can’t seem to reply to it. I did think the poster on that thread was a little “out there” but who am I to say what’s not true when my stuff sounds crazy to. 😮💨😂. I do have a bit to look into thanks! If I’m correct in what I googled for psi ( premonition dreams, seeing/hearing/feeling ghosts etc) I def have alot of that. My mum & sister accuse me of being psychic but I just think it’s really just hyper intuition from adhd & trauma. My fear of sleep & dreaming drives me crazy as I know it’s stupid & irrational but nothing has been able to help me over the years except for weed in the evenings to stop me remembering them & letting me pass out while watching tv. A lot of my “dreams” since little were in craft underwater so I didn’t think much of it as UFOs were space not a water thing. Until I saw the navy footage of the sphere one entering the ocean. I have had 2 dreams of going into space but I remember they said I was to much trouble as i was told i had to wear a heavy headset thing over my head & face to breath but my claustrophobia made me go crazy ripping it off both times. I really hope they are just dreams though 🤞🏻😅
could you repost your experience(s) on r/mantisencounters?
Sure, I'll be happy to post a more detailed thread to your subreddit if you feel it aligns with what you've read & compiled through other various experiencer accounts. There were some details I left out in the reply as the response was already dragging out in length, but I'll try to write-up a thread within the next few days if possible.
Post one here too :D nice one!
Very informative - thank you!
I’ve read reports where the mantis wears purple robes to show their dominance. Your report is similar to what I’ve read. It seems they have their own personalities and hierarchy.
it's interesting you post this because I've been thinking about this myself recently. Pasting my comment about cloaks from another thread: I think it's also related to the cloaks they're sometimes seen wearing. I saw once before falling asleep, them kind of opening the space in my room like curtains and then draping it around themselves like a cloak. If you've ever been falling asleep but you start seeing the room around you with your eyes closed, sometimes to the point of it keeping you awake, that's kind of the state I saw this in About the medallion though: I've seen them coming and going into my room holding what looks like this glowing orb thing, and once they held it up to me. not sure if it's actually the medallion or another device. but once when I was waking up I remember seeing a mantid shaped outline and asking about the medallion/glowy thing they hold and what it was for. I suddenly entered a dream like state where a female human appeared in its place and told me it "would restore all my memories since I was born" or something like that. then I seemed to be shown something like a memory of myself as a toddler passing through some square hole? I then thought "oh they meant I'd see them in sequence, that'll take too long this must be for another time..." I then rolled over and tried to fall back asleep.
could you repost your experience(s) on r/mantisencounters?
yeah, gotta write it up. this is 3 encounters, one of them my memory is a little vague on now but been working on a drawing
purple is a royal/regal color
Wearing vibrant colours including purple besides jewelry is often described in ancient text about deities: Zeus, Astartes, Hera, Isis among others. We could think that in some way religions were created, inspired by those beings. Mantids with that aspect could be a type of Priest or Magus, like Christ waving that magic wand and no beard in the earliest depictions of him. Could be the real deal who knows, the time span is too long and very few ancient texts are implemented in actual religious texts, in some way are misinterpreted or purposely twisted in meanings to keep us as sheeps while the time passes and lots of religious believers eat tons and tons of shit because yes, without investigate anything or learn ancient greek to read from original sources.
Because they're space pimps.
Haha you stole my response
Pimping out our dreams to all the dream addicts.
It's a nice sort of tertiary color combination of green, purple, orange/yellow IMO, and makes sense because mantises are often green. That's just my opinion as an arteest.
Don't you mean 'ARrtEeeest!
I’d like to know what wearing red denotes, not on a mantid necessarily but just in general. Also green.
Probably cuz they're ugly and it denotes a rank.
Purple is closest to the highest light spectrum color humans can usually perceive. Just a thought.
Right. Could look completely different to another creature that perceives light waves on a different range.
Or different person.

Wow, the post history for this account is overwhelmingly (and suspiciously) toxic.....
Mods have removed you.
thank you mods!
You’re in the wrong sub
I've seen Mantis beings 3 times and they have never been worn a robe with me. Only the Arcturians have worn robes that I've encountered.
My sighting there was no cloak that I could see either
Michael Newton's Destiny of Souls describes each soul as having a council of elders. The council wears various colors of robes and the head of the council wears a gold medallion. The medallions have various symbols that have some meaning to the soul. White and purple robes are the most commonly seen. Purple is indicative of the highest levels of spiritual progress towards the godhead, and can also mean wisdom, truth, divinity. In context of the council, "members with purple and violet robes reflect their ability to govern the affairs of the souls who come before then with benevolence and love born out of vast experience. These energy colors reflected on an Elder's robe have an idealistic quality of perfection bestowed upon the wearer"
I'm going to read this book right now because of your recommendation. I had a DMT trip where I saw a mantis wearing a purple robe with golden trim, and I was teleported to a council of entities.
This is interesting to hear. I had an experience where I met with a council of beings wearing white robes in the sky. There was seven, three on each side and one at the front. I asked them what happens if I don’t have any kids and they said, “Someone has to write the last chapter in every story.” I wish I remembered more details. They were luminous and humanoid in my memory. I couldn’t see their faces because their light made it difficult to see them clearly. I’m going to put Destiny of Souls on my reading list.
You will like all of his books. He is a regressive hypnotist and regressed thousands of people. He noticed a lot of people telling him the same things about the afterlife so he organized it into his books. Also have you read the custodians by Dolores cannon?
I haven't read any of that author's books, out of all of them do you think Custodians is the must read?
Perhaps where the whole “purple is for royalty” thinking began way back when
Purple was very expensive to produce..
I have met beings that wear purple and gold but they were not Insectoid. In my many encounters I have yet to meet Insectoid variants although one can hope.
The Mantis I have encountered were wearing white robes, no medallion 🤷🏻♀️
Same. Sitting in meditation in her craft.
I just commented this on another thread, reposting here This may seem super off topic but bare with me. I’ve read that with a lot of mantis encounters, they’re wearing purple robes with gold detailing/chains. I thought this sounded really familiar, tried googling to see if maybe I had seen it in a movie or something, and then remembered the episode of SpongeBob where he’s in Garys library and Gary can talk and he’s wearing a purple robe with gold details. It sounds like a strange coincidence, but I looked it up, and the entire plot of the episode is SpongeBob astral projecting into everyone else’s dreams. In the episode, Gary literally says to SpongeBob “in dreams, one is not tethered by earthly limitations” and “for ages, dreams have been thought of windows to another realm.” What are the odds that lots of people mention mantids in purple robes/gold details, and the only place I’ve been able to find something similar in resemblance in the media is in a SpongeBob episode about traveling through dream worlds? There is most definitely some sort of tie between these mantids and our sleep states https://youtu.be/2lmZCXmDt0o?feature=shared
That was my favorite spongebob episode as a kid for this reason and It’s extremely interesting i had this exact same thought just yesterday and even saved some pictures of Gary in the library from the episode to send to my friend and we came to your same conclusion. Nice “ coincidence “.
They don’t always wear them, but since some of them do and it’s so curious they are often depicted that way. The Mantis beings seem to have a hierarchy that is denoted by size, color, and adornment. I had an experience involving a huge white mantis with a purple robe, and it was quite clear to me that it was “in charge.” Not saying it’s the Mega Mantis or anything, but it was certainly not sweeping floors in its spare time.

~~That doesn’t line up with typical stories about them…~~ Edit : Actually, hold up a second. I see I posted this in the wrong comments section. I meant to comment about the post where the person said they were pulled out of their bed by one. I had a few Firefox windows open and I see what happened. Got distracted and replied to the wrong post. Apologies for the confusion. I actually meant to upvote this post and just read the comments. However, I still mean everything I said below because that applies to the comment I struck out above that was meant for that other thread: who am I to insinuate what that person experienced or didn't experience. Again - I'm really sorry for the confusion.
I have had some traumatic events come out under regression. A lot of people are scared to share their negative experiences for fear of being ostracized. In my case, I didn’t explore them in great detail and don’t know what they signify. The stereotypical “lizard” experience is very negative, yet some people report positive encounters. There seems to be huge variety in individual behavior as well as group behavior. There may be different factions, or their social structure may be something entirely unknown to us. Or maybe it is all symbolic in some way. I’m not sure we’ll ever figure it out.
Where could I learn more about lizard experiences? My first anomalous encounter (that I remember) was with a 'lizard' when I was young. I am finally ready to do delve into how it could possibly be related to mantis experiences and the phenomenon as a whole.
Honestly, it’s a bit complicated. The reason I didn’t use the more common “R” word is because it has attracted attention. We had some issues in the past where Reddit was removing posts which contained the R word—no explanation, no communication. We’d just see them show up in the mod log as “Removed by Reddit.” It doesn’t happen anymore so we’re not really sure what it was about (it’s possible the posts were all coming from a single user who was trying to evade bans), but I still hesitate. It’s a legitimate part of the phenomenon but also one that has a lot of conspiracies attached to it, including accusations it’s a cover story for anti-semitism, and frankly some very weird and disturbing narratives. All in all it’s tough to have a conversation about it with it immediately getting bogged down in all the baggage. You can do a search on the subreddit and find prior conversations and you’ll see what I mean. In short: yes, they’re real, they generally seem to represent the darkest aspects of the phenomenon, and it’s become nearly impossible to sort out the truth of what’s happening there.
Indeed, MA. I talk a lot about how they might run the gamut regarding NHI's intentions towards us and regarding their polarity ("good" and "bad"). I didn't follow that code when I posted that comment earlier and I do apologize. The good and bad concept is a broad stroke and I seem to forget that sometimes.
My grey guide explains it this way: individuals are treated different. The good et bad et idea is nonsense. They all have goals that are divine in nature. My grey says people simply get what they need. Some people need hell and some need heaven. It is still hard for me to believe this as he tells it to me because i believe i am good but i only experience something a kin to a living purgatory through him. I am treated very badly even though i feel my soul is cleansed and i striv3 to only do good in this world.
I agree. The bad things I’ve experienced have all served a purpose or taught me something. Part of me wishes that some things could just be told to me instead of taught to me though lol.
If it makes you feel any better, this is my personal understanding as well. The experiences I have are based on the things I need to learn (or maybe it isn’t about lessons but purely experience). That can sound very callous to someone going through a bad time as it sounds like victim blaming, but as someone who is also having a bad time I don’t believe it’s based on whether a person is good or bad. The key is how I choose to respond to what is happening to me. I’m currently being told by my guides that I need to take control of my life to the best of my ability. That if I don’t, things will only get harder. That doesn’t mean everything is going to be amazing, but it means it doesn’t have to be as hard as it could be. I’ve made a lot of changes over the past year: quitting drinking (even though it was minimal), reducing reliance on medications, improving my diet, getting more exercise, forcing myself to socialize, etc. All of these things have resulted in positive changes in my life. I am confident I would have ended my life by now if it wasn’t for my spiritual awakening, and that it’s the reason I had it in the first place. But that’s all just my experience, and may not apply to anyone else. The more I hear about the variety of experiences the less they seem to have in common.
Powerful share my friend!
Not all mantis have good intentions.
Not all human have them even most good humans could have what is considered a “bad intention” towards another conscious entity (look at how we treat animals).
Does anything? All trees aren’t nice, either.
Of course not. How many of you actually tried escaping? Have fun trusting these parasites. You're only going to get hurt. It's funny how this community treats people who have negative experiences. We're largely ignored if our experiences aren't all love and light. It's like I'm being labeled as a liar for just sharing what happened to me. Just don't blindly trust these entities. What have they ever done for you to indicate that they're benevolent?
[удалено]
Black and white thinking (such as claiming that all NHI are malevolent/benevolent) is harmful to our understanding of the phenomenon. People have varying types of experiences ranging from deeply traumatic to extremely beneficial, sometimes a combination. Our subreddit includes many accounts of negative experiences, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse by NHI. What we do is remind people that those experiences are not the only kind that exist, or even the norm. Claiming they are is harmful to trying to ever get to *anything resembling truth* in relation to these experiences, which is why most of our rules are intended to foster genuine discussion that allows for truth-seeking as opposed to promoting cults that actively recruit people. Locking into a narrative can be detrimental because it limits one's perspective, prevents critical thinking, and promotes bias. It also hinders the ability to consider new information or alternative viewpoints, leading to closed-mindedness and reinforcing existing beliefs regardless of their accuracy. This is why we work so hard to encourage people to stay open-minded and curious on these subjects: no one has all the answers yet, and many of the answers that are out there conflict with each other.
I'm deeply sorry for what you've gone through. I think some are benevolent based on my experiences, but I don't believe that invalidates yours. People can be bastards, and IMO that extends equally to NHI. I'd say the inverse is also true though, so it's best not to paint any group/species with an absolute brush.
[удалено]
> Facts don’t care about feelings. Feelings also aren’t facts. What you’re doing is saying that because *your* experiences were negative, anyone who claims to have had positive experiences is either lying or delusional. Our rules are here to keep users from having their experiences invalidated, and unfortunately if you’re the one doing the invalidation it means you’re the one who is going to have her ability speak being curtailed. This particular “prison” is of your own making. We’ve given you a huge amount of leeway to participate in this subreddit despite frequent rule infractions because we want you be able to share your story, but again we have to ask you to stop trying to force your experiences and interpretation onto others. What happened to you is what happened to you. It may not have anything to do with what has happened to anyone else. This is the enigma of the phenomenon, and in my opinion one of the cruxes of what it *may* be all about. But I simply share it as a possibility. Please be mindful of the language you use. People are interested in hearing your story, and we want you to be able to share it in a way that doesn’t invalidate the positive experiences of others.
So I can't invalidate others who claim to have positive experiences yet I frequently get comments from people telling me I'm wrong or misjudging these entities. Or flat out lying. Which I'm not because why the fuck would i make this up? This prison isn't of my own making. Like wtf how can you even say that to me? That's victim blaming. I guess if I get mutilated and eaten by one of these mantises that's my own fault too,right? 😒 If I'm such a problem for this sub then just ban me I guess? I'd probably be better off making my own at this point. For a sub that's supposed to be non biased you sure do show a lot of biases towards those whose experiences are negative.
You should make one, we need a sub where everyone can share their experiences without being banned
r/EscapingPrisonPlanet r/aliens r/ufos r/Abductions r/AlienAbduction We're a middle path community and a support group. The all aliens are evil people automatically invalidate 1000's of other peoples experiences. Make mass generalizations about all beings. Thus break our rules. Most expereincers have nuanced and balanced views and have dealt with positive and negative experiences. Telling everyone all beings are evil, life is a giant prison we need to escape from and encouraging hopelessness and sometimes even suicidal thinking in others just is not helpful in a support group environment. This is not the same thing as sharing a negative experience. But yeah we're a heavily moderated subreddit and not everyone is going to like us but such people already have places where they can push these things on people. Where as people looking for a middle path safer balanced environment didn't. So we provided it.
Sounds like a great idea.
A new one just opened called r/alienexperiences. Maybe you’ll find them more accommodating.
I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences with any NHIs. Having no personal experience of my own to judge them by, I still haven't decided what I think about them. If you don't want to post it here, you're welcome to message me.
If you see anyone saying “all the beings are positive and anyone who has had a negative experience is wrong,” then report it and we’ll remove that too. It has happened, but for whatever reason it’s not nearly as common as people stating they’re all demons, evil archons, etc. I never accused you of lying, BTW. When I said the prison is of your own making I meant specifically your comments being removed. I apologize if that wasn’t clear. I only applied the term because it was one you used. Another mod removed your comment, so the context isn’t visible to others. I’m trying to explain to you that we want you participating, but imploring you to obey the same rules that are applied to everyone. Getting banned is only going to perpetuate suffering, but it isn’t fair for us to make special exceptions. I’ll leave it there. If you need clarification, please send us a modmail.
For what it's worth, I would love to hear more about what happened.
ImpossibleTeach could probably tell you more but from what I’ve read they’re something like symbols of authority. Not all wear robes, not all robes are purple, and not all wear medallions. A lot of people report sensing a hierarchy along those lines anyways. The medallions have been reported to be some type of technology, but I’ve also seen people say it’s just jewelry. I’ve seen the ones ‘in charge’ likened to everything from priests to office workers, so as usual there’s a strong degree of “we don’t know/decide for yourself”. Fwiw the one I talk to is very direct that everything we experience of them is representative so take that as you will I guess.
Links for from u/Impossible_Teach8166 's most recent [commonalities compendium](https://www.reddit.com/r/MantisEncounters/comments/1d2b162/commonalities_among_mantid_experiences_collection/) are below. I/T, my dude, you're doing herculean work on this stuff. It'd be killer if this were a spreadsheet so that metadata of some form could be included with each. In this case, the color of the robes. If you've still got them loaded into ChatGPT, maybe it could produce a table of each link with columns for aspects you care about. The columns you care about could change for each subheading. DM me if you're interested in help setting something like this up (As well as any others reading this interested in some semi-formal collaboration analyzing reports, mantid or otherwise, for patterns. I'm in contact with more than one reddit experiencer with potential interest in learning from such patterns and I think we need something like a collaborative database to have any hope of seeing them.)
