What exactly happened to Christian Glass
During the 911 call, Christian Glass told operators about "shadowy figures" following him, a phenomenon commonly linked to mental health issues and paranoia. Glass reportedly said that he was "stuck in a dangerous place" and feared being killed. Referring to shapeshifting creatures called "skin-walkers," Glass said: "I'm gonna have to kill some skin-walkers. If I got out of the car I might be in danger … It’s so terrifying. I am so scared. I love you for being with me." Glass also told the 911 dispatcher that he had "two knives, a hammer and a rubber mallet." However, he insisted that he was "not dangerous" and said that he would keep his "hands completely visible," adding that he would throw out the weapons once officers arrived.
