A UFO truther sent a chilling text to his mom just days before dying of 'natural causes'.
Maxwell Bates-Spiers, of Canterbury, England, had flown to Poland to talk at an environmental conference in July 2016 when he went back to a friends house where he ultimately saw his end after throwing up a 'dark fluid'.
But it was the ominous text that the journalist - who dealt in conspiracy theories - sent to his mom shortly before dying that will send chills down your spine.
The 39-year-old was staying over at Monika Duval's house in Warsaw at the time of his death.

According to Duval, who issued a statement to Coroner Christopher Sutton-Mattocks as part of Maxwell's inquest held in the UK, he took around 10 tablets of a Turkish form of Xanax - a potent tranquilizer used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.
She explained how he had bought the drugs during a vacation in Cyprus, where it can be obtained over the counter without the need of a prescription.
But not long after taking them, he vomited up a dark fluid and stopped breathing.
When paramedics reach Duval's home, they in turn dialled the police and two officers attended.
After a three-day inquest into his death, Sutton-Mattocks labelled the officers investigating Maxwell's death as 'wholly incompetent' after it was heard they stopped halted their initial investigation.
During the course of the inquest, it was heard how the Polish police force decided against continuing the investigation after a doctor declared that he had died from natural causes.
But a coroner later ruled his death being inflicted because of drug intoxication and pneumonia.
There were many criticisms over the probe into his death, with his mom fearing he might have been murdered.
While at the hearing, Vanessa Bates shared how her son had sent her a text message not long before his death.
The message allegedly read: "If anything happens to me, look into it, investigate."
Speaking at the inquest, she added: "He even said, 'I think I might be murdered'."
But Sutton-Mattocks added: "Max was a conspiracy theorist, and a well-known one at that. If there was anything that was bound to excite the interest of other conspiracy theorists, it was the wholly incompetent initial investigation into his death."
The coroner ruled that the pneumonia and drugs had 'caused aspiration of gastric contents', while a post-mortem examination found fatal levels of opioid oxycodone in his system.
