1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.080
So this was in Colorado. I
was like, Oh, the Great Dunes

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.519
are here, so I'm gonna I'm
gonna head down there at night. Everything

3
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.960
kind of happened when I when I
write, it was pretty late, but

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.560
the Welcoming Center was empty and nobody
was there. It was just vacant.

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:21.399
It's just me right behind my ear, like squeaking almost and also like shuffling.

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:27.519
I turned around and it's just this
figure and it's like slowly moving towards

7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.519
me, and I can still hear
the shuffling and like the squeaking. What

8
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:36.119
frightened me was that, you know, human instinct is interesting where you can

9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.359
just kind of instantly know what something
is. This was where I couldn't.

10
00:00:41.119 --> 00:01:18.719
I couldn't figure out what I was
looking at. Aiden. Thanks for joining

11
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.040
me on Bigfoot Crossroads. Man.
How are you? I'm good, I'm

12
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.079
good. How are you doing?
Pretty good? Man? So you're from

13
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:32.159
Georgia now, but you're originally from
California. Yeah. So I moved like

14
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.319
three years ago, almost four at
this point, to follow my job in

15
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.560
the film industry and doing more creative
stuff like photography and all that fun stuff,

16
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.120
and Georgia was the place to do
it. Pretty much. And my

17
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:52.200
family had moved a year prior and
so I ended up following them. And

18
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.560
photography is pretty much what led you
to your experiences that you contacted me about.

19
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.760
Yeah, it did. It was
wild because the whole trip so basically

20
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.599
what I was moving from from California
to Georgia. I decided that I was

21
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.159
going to drive the whole way because
I didn't really want to pay for shipping

22
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.520
or do anything like that. With
all my stuff. I didn't have like

23
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.599
too much, and I had a
truck at the time, and I just

24
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.400
packed everything in and I was like, you know what, I'm going to

25
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.520
drive the whole way, going to
stop us some interesting location. That didn't

26
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.719
get to all of them. I
got to some and you know, take

27
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:38.680
photos and see what I could pretty
much capture. And that's on one of

28
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.800
the ventures. That's what led me
to an interesting encounter. I guess you

29
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.639
could say, was I honestly like
to this day, even though I sent

30
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.919
you like the email and you read
it, I have no idea what it

31
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.240
is. So where were you exactly
when this happened. So this was in

32
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.159
Colorado, I believe in the Great
Dunes, like right beneath it like the

33
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.599
edge part of Colorado, believe that's
where it is. And the night before

34
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:17.280
I was like, I hadn't been
sleeping in general, but then I had

35
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.439
stopped that day in Colorado one of
my friends and slept at his place for

36
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.120
a bit and then decided to continue
my journey to Georgia. But I was

37
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.919
like, oh, the Great Dunes
are here, so I'm gonna I'm gonna

38
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.439
head down there at night, and
since it'll be clear, I'm going to

39
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.360
take a picture of like the sand
dunes and the stars. And I'm like,

40
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.680
really really beautiful and I could be
a great shot. And I still

41
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:46.199
got the photo. But everything kind
of happened when I when I arrived at

42
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:52.000
the Welcoming Center outside the Great Dunes, That's that's where everything happened. What

43
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.120
time of night was it whenever you
got there, I believe it was two

44
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.800
am, so it was it was
pretty late. And at this point most

45
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.080
of the people who were camping in
the place like would have already been asleep,

46
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.759
right. There were some people like
later on that I found, but

47
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.680
the Welcoming Center was empty and nobody
was there. It was just vacant,

48
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.639
and there's like some street lights whatever
lamps are up at the welcoming parking lot

49
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.680
is where I was, and that's
there's like a very you know, that

50
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.800
orange what's it called that type of
light, But that's that's what time it

51
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.560
happened at, Like around two am
is what I'm guessing, because I remember

52
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.040
I drove the rest of the night
into the morning to get to Oklahoma after

53
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.519
the encounter, so it was like
two am. The parking lot's completely empty

54
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.040
other than you correct, Yeah,
it's just me, and it was.

55
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.680
It was weird because pulling up,
I didn't expect anything, and I also

56
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.040
had never been there before, so
in my mind I was like, oh,

57
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.279
the welcoming centers here. I'm guessing
the Great Dunes are right behind it,

58
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.600
right. They're not, I found
out later. But I drive up

59
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.160
and I stirtle the parking lot and
I'm like, oh, maybe there's a

60
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.800
ranger I could talk to, you
know, some human, and there wasn't.

61
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.759
And I was like, all right, I was gonna park here,

62
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.519
I'm gonna get my camera out.
And because of where I'm at, those

63
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.759
are the only the lights are up
and the stars are out, but it's

64
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.040
sand and that doesn't really reflect starlight
too much. Because there's no moon this

65
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:41.399
night, and it's pitch black.
Right behind the Welcoming Center. There's like

66
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.920
you can't see anything at all.
And I'm like, all right, well,

67
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.519
maybe I can set my shutter speed, lead the you know, lead

68
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.759
the shutter open for a few seconds, like thirty seconds, ten seconds,

69
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.519
and see what I can get.
And so I park on the front left

70
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.399
side of the welcoming Center, you
know, for this part where there's like

71
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.800
this brown like this wooden log fence
and then you can hop over the fence

72
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.800
and there's bushes and stuff. So
I parked on the on the far left

73
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.000
side, and I leave the car. I turned the car off, I

74
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.120
leave the lights on, and I
opened the open my door. I get

75
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.439
out to the left hand and side, and I have my tripod and my

76
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.600
camera with me if anybody's curious,
I have the Sony A seven three at

77
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.920
the time. And I get out
and I'm like, all right, we're

78
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.680
gonna take a picture. This would
be fun. And I sat up,

79
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.839
I set my tray pot up,
I get everything situated. I set my

80
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.399
shutter of speed. I'm like,
all right, cool, let's take the

81
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:45.240
picture. See what I can find. And then all of a sudden right

82
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:50.959
behind my hear like squeaking almost and
also like shuffling of shoes. It could

83
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.759
have been on gravel, and I
wasn't scared yet or anything. I was

84
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.720
like, Oh, the rangers here, cool, because of course it's it's

85
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.439
a national park, and I expect
her to be like a ranger or somebody

86
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.399
just like, right, you're at
the welcoming center. Yeah, like you

87
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.319
know someone should be here, and
uh, all right cool. When he

88
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:18.720
say hid this guy? I turn
around and I'd say around like fifty feet

89
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.839
past my truck. And it's an
F one fifty, so you know,

90
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.000
it's tall, it's not lifted or
anything, it's less like normal stock.

91
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.839
It's right behind my my truck on
the opposite side. So since I'm parked

92
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.639
parallel in the parking lot, it's
on the passenger side. Lie right past

93
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:45.000
the passenger side, uh, back
part of it, and it's just this

94
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.920
figure and it's like slowly moving towards
me, and I can still hear the

95
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:54.879
shuffling and like this squeaking. But
what frightened me the like what frightened me

96
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.720
was that, you you know,
human instinct is interesting where you can just

97
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:07.079
kind of instantly know what something is
right? This was where I couldn't,

98
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.600
you know, I couldn't figure out
what I was looking at. And it

99
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:18.759
looks it looked to me as if
a gray dark like very dark gray tracksuit,

100
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.279
like some of them were running,
almost like the Adidas the ones where

101
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.639
add like those stripes on it,
except it was only one stripe and the

102
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.960
stripe was a silver like a silver
lining almost around the body. And I

103
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.720
couldn't see the legs. It was
like right past the truck, so I

104
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.519
didn't really see if it had feet
or whatever it was, but the silver

105
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.919
lining kind of just showed like the
outline of the body, and it was

106
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.399
wearing a hood. It was like
just a silver hood and no base.

107
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.320
And I was like, what am
I what is I Like? I was

108
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.279
just I was, and it was
in shock pretty much because I don't I

109
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.360
don't know that is it doesn't look
like anything familiar, And in the back

110
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.080
of my mind, I was like, maybe it's a person. But then

111
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.519
it kept moving towards me, and
it was really tall. It was taller

112
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.320
than like the top of my truck, and so I don't know what to

113
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.679
do, and I'm just like also
just panicking and like this feeling inside me

114
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.600
was like I have to I'm gonna
throw up. I feel sick. I

115
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.080
don't know what this is, and
I'm like scared, and I've never felt

116
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.320
that way before, but this was
new, and I was like, I

117
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.240
don't like this. I don't like
this at all. And so what I

118
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.919
ended up doing was I grabbed my
camera in my trypod and I just I

119
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.399
just moved normal speed. I in
my mind, I was acting as if

120
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.399
I didn't see this person or whatever
this thing was. I was just gonna

121
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.320
like, I'm sitting, you know, I'm getting to my truck. If

122
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.799
it is a ranger, I hope, I really hope it is. I

123
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.200
hope it's something that I know it'll
come up to the side of my truck

124
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.440
window and maybe talk to me or
something. But I can see what it

125
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.120
is first, you know, before
it gets to that point. And so

126
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.159
I grab my truck out of my
camera and I walked to the left side

127
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.320
so that as I moved towards my
truck, I just don't see it anymore

128
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.159
because I don't really want to look
at it because my eyes were just more

129
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.279
glued than I couldn't really move from
looking at it unless my body was moving

130
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:31.919
because I was like, I need
to know where it is. I need

131
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.360
to know what's going on here.
I was like, yo, I don't

132
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.840
know, and so I grab myself
and I just get in my truck.

133
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.919
And the keys are in the cognition
right because I left it on. I

134
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.279
left the lights on, so I
just left the key and you know,

135
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.759
no one's there and the door has
already opened, so I just get in.

136
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.679
I just slammed the door and I
turned the truck on immediately, like,

137
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.559
I throw my camera in the passenger's
side seat, and I don't even

138
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.679
look out that side because I'm like, I don't want it. I don't

139
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.200
want to look at the pastor's side
if it's just staring at me. And

140
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.039
so I turned the truck on.
And in my mind, at this point,

141
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.559
it should have been right behind the
truck, so if I looked in

142
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.639
the rear view mirror, it should
be there, and so I didn't.

143
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.960
I was like, I'm just not
gonna I'm just gonna look at my steering

144
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.559
wheel and maybe if it's a person, it'll come next to the window and

145
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.200
it'll knock on it first before I
have to, you know, it'll give

146
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.600
me like Okay, now it's now
I know what it is, right,

147
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.200
And so I don't look and I
wait. I honestly don't know how long

148
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.919
I waited. It was probably only
a few seconds. It felt like a

149
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.279
longer. But when you're in situations
that you know your adrenaline going you,

150
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.480
you don't really you kind of lose
track of time. Right. So I'm

151
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.000
sitting there and I'm like, I'm
trying to just erect my brain. I'm

152
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.919
like, what am I supposed to
do here? Because I don't know what

153
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.759
it is? And I don't really
want to find out what it is if

154
00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:00.639
I don't know what it is.
And I eventually I'm just like, all

155
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.399
right, I'm gonna I'm gonna look
at the rear room mirror. If it's

156
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.679
there, then I can see it. And if it's not, I'm gonna

157
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.679
look outside my my window on my
left hand side, striver's side or end

158
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.240
the mirror first and then look see
if it's there. And I look at

159
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.480
the rear room mirror and I'm nothing
there, all right, And then I'm

160
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.679
like half expecting it to like jump
scare me and just like push, you

161
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.000
know, go like slam its space
against the window. I'm like, it's

162
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.759
gonna jump. It's like something's gonna
happen here. And I was like with

163
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.399
my heart and I could like hear
it, and like like everything inside me

164
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.759
was just like screaming, except I'm
you know, I'm not saying anything,

165
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.200
and I'm just like silent. I'm
like, what am I doing? So

166
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.679
I'm expecting that to happen. I
look over and nothing's there. Yeah,

167
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.559
I look outside the window. After
I looked outside the side mirror and nothing's

168
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.960
there. And I'm like, yeah, alright, where could this thing be.

169
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.000
So I'm like outside the passer sign, nothing there either. And I

170
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.039
was like, well, if it's
behind me, I'm just going to hit

171
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.320
it too bad. And so I
just put the truck in reverse and I

172
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.720
just like hit the gas and reverse
and turn. I turned the wheel to

173
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:18.320
the right side, so I turned
my back comes out right and I don't

174
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.440
hit anything. I'm like, all
right, I don't know what that is.

175
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.840
Then, and I put the car
and drive and I turned my high

176
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:30.679
beams on and I just like do
a circle around the parking lot and no

177
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.440
one's there and nothing was ever was
ever there as far as I know,

178
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.879
But that's where it ends, I
make a circle. I don't I see

179
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.559
nothing like there was There was no
car, there was no lights on inside

180
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.279
the building. There was no like, I don't know, golf cart,

181
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.240
I guess, or like a ranger
car. There's there's nothing. It was

182
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.440
literally just the same as I had
arrived, except for that whatever that thing

183
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.879
was and me. It was just
me, and so I do the circle

184
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.320
around the parking lot and then ended
up. I didn't I didn't want to

185
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.240
drive back the way I came yet
through the entrance because the entrance is kind

186
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.039
of along. It's a long dark
road of just desert and trees and bushes.

187
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.399
So just I was like, I'm
going to go further into the park

188
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.759
instead and go to where it says
campsite and hopefully I can find like some

189
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.600
people, because I kind of need
people at this moment. I don't care

190
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.080
context, yeah, because I'm like, I don't I don't know, I

191
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.639
don't know what's going on, and
I didn't know what to even think about

192
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.000
it, and so I'm like,
I need something that I know is real,

193
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.879
so I know I'm not tripping out. And so I turned left instead

194
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.360
of going right, and I go
further into the park, and that's when

195
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:54.879
the whole situation ends. But thinking
back and uh, you know, reviewing

196
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.120
it, in my mind, it's
just the same thing over and over.

197
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.600
It's the way I felt. It's
seeing nothing inside the face area and seeing

198
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.080
this silver jumpsuit looking thing right behind
my trug. And I'm not want like

199
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.399
I'm personally, I don't always believe
in the paranormal. I know it's there.

200
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.000
I know it's just if it does, right, But I'm not like

201
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:26.000
looking for an excuse to have a
story about something right right. Never,

202
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.279
Yeah, I never, I can
never have that. I'm like, if

203
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.799
it happens, great, cool,
if something, if you know, if

204
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.360
I see bigfoot in the horse,
if I see something, if whatever happens,

205
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.080
I'm like open, but I'm not
looking. And that's what like frightened

206
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:46.000
me. I think mostly was that
I wasn't like ready for this situation to

207
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.320
happen. It wasn't like prepared.
I wasn't thinking about it. It was

208
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.639
just it just happened. You weren't
looking, but it found you. Yeah,

209
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.480
exactly. Yeah, And I have
no explanation still to like what I

210
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.000
could have been seeing or saw or
and conored I can go further into the

211
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.120
night of like what happened, but
I mean, nothing else happened. I

212
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.559
found the Great Dunes, took the
picture. There were some people around camping.

213
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.480
My eye kept running, you know, swerving back to the welcoming Center

214
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:19.720
where I had just been like some
some ways away across the dunes, you

215
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.720
know, because the lights are on. I like the lamps, and you

216
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.360
know, I was always occasionally look
back and see if anybody was there.

217
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.440
Nobody was over there, but took
the picture, stayed there for like an

218
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:37.159
hour, and ended up driving through
the night to Oklahoma because I was like,

219
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:44.240
I'm not stopping when it's dark,
thank you, I'm not doing that.

220
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.559
So okay, question time, You're
parked in this parking lot area at

221
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:55.480
the welcome center. Yep. How
large of a parking lot is it?

222
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.440
Is it? Is it a big
parking lot or small? I'd say it

223
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.720
has like one to three four lanes
with a center median. So you got

224
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.119
the front one, the front lane
of cars, Like maybe it can fit

225
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.319
like fifteen cars. I'd say,
I'm sure that people could like find pictures

226
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.279
of it on Google if they wanted
to see it. Oh yeah, I

227
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.680
mean I could pull it up right
now and tell you exactly how my there

228
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.480
are, but I'm off the top
of my head. The front, you

229
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.880
know, fifteen fifteen fifteen, maybe
like ten at the at the back is

230
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.039
it kind of it's almost like an
oval looking shape. It's not. It's

231
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.880
like a fairly it's like as big
as it's a little bit bigger than like

232
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.640
the Welcoming Center. The Welcoming Center
isn't that big. It's like it's one

233
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:44.400
story and it's like maybe five rooms
across, I'd say, so it's like

234
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.920
not that big. And then like
the parking lot kind of wraps like in

235
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.880
an oval in front of it,
and then has the entrance to go out

236
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.160
to the exit and then into the
park pretty much. And then are there

237
00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:00.440
like trees and stuff lining the outside
of the parking lot or what so the

238
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:07.279
outside on the right side, I
believe there's like some giant bushes. It's

239
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.799
the deserts. There's not like too
many trees. I know. The middle

240
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.279
median has like some small bushes,
like little brush and like grass looking things.

241
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.319
And then where I was there was
grass, like the brown grass kind

242
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:29.079
of like the tall on the tall
graph. And then the log fence that's

243
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.000
like two logs high. I'd say, you know, it's not that big.

244
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.960
It's kind of like it's like the
fence for aesthetic, but it doesn't

245
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.279
actually act as a fence, right, Yeah, And whenever you first saw

246
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.400
this thing, how far away from
your truck would you guess it was from

247
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:51.039
my truck? I thought it was
around fifty feet. I'm guessing it was

248
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.720
just past my truck, like maybe
three car lengths. And how far were

249
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.559
you on the opposite side of the
truck. I was like probably one car

250
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.480
lengthy, one to two crawlings the
way, pretty close, pretty close to

251
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.519
the point where I was like,
I knew I was going to be it

252
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.559
to my truck if I just started
moving right away. That's what I did.

253
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.880
So I wasn't. I wasn't fun. So the lights are on and

254
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.000
everything, so I know, you
say it didn't have a face, but

255
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.839
like you got a pretty good look
at this thing and the lights, I

256
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:29.160
assume, yeah, kind of right, so it didn't. It looked like

257
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:34.400
it was hitting a light, you
know how like biker vests have a reflective

258
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.680
river on them. Yeah, and
when it's not being reflected, it kind

259
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:44.839
of looked gray but kind of sparkly. Yeah, that's what those lighting looks

260
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.119
like. It wasn't glowing, but
it looked reflective, so the lights weren't

261
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:55.119
even like there, I'm guessing like
there was no light hitting it, although

262
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.480
on the right side of it,
if you know, I could see it

263
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:04.359
obviously, so I'm assuming there was
some light from the lamps out there.

264
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:10.160
But it was like it wasn't like
it wasn't illuminated because it's still dark.

265
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.160
You look around and everything's pitch black, and it's like not that much brighter

266
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.880
in the parking lot because there's like
two lamps up right. So it was

267
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.440
like that where it was like,
oh, here it is, but you

268
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.799
can't really you can't really see it
too much. It just looked like a

269
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.160
figure human. It looks humanoid ish, right because it has like arms and

270
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.079
a body and a hood, but
then no faith in the middle of it.

271
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.200
And that's it was like, you
just it looks like a void,

272
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:48.640
but it looks like the surrounding area. It just looks pitch black. What

273
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.440
did the suit look like? I
mean, I know, you dark in

274
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.440
color, like a track suit,
but typically I mean clothes have like zippers

275
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:02.640
and labels and things like that.
Did you notice anything, No, labels,

276
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:07.759
no zippers. It just looked it
looked maybe it could have had like

277
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:15.400
a zip up hoodie is what it
may have looked like, judging by how

278
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:21.079
like the whole body frame of it
was. But I didn't see arms swinging,

279
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.359
so I didn't see hands. I
just saw the figure moving towards me,

280
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.200
like almost as if it was like
not floating, but like I could

281
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.480
see it was moving, and it
was just it was just gray. I

282
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.240
could see like the where it's arms
were next to it. You could see

283
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.519
it like it had arms. It
looks like it was wearing like almost like

284
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:45.119
a hoodie. There's no face inside. It was just just pitch black,

285
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.799
and it was tall, and it
was tall, and so it was like

286
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.319
just moving towards me. And you
know, however long I looked at it,

287
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.200
I then made a decision to just
move because I was like, I

288
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.440
don't know what I'm looking at,
and I'm not just gonna stand here and

289
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.119
wait for it to catch up to
me, because it was moving towards me.

290
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.200
I mean, you mentioned, you
know earlier, about how the human

291
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:14.920
mind recognizes things just instantly whenever we
see them, and how one of the

292
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.920
most frightening aspects was your mind not
being able to understand, like what am

293
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:25.319
I looking at? I would think
that, let's just say, it's a

294
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.440
tall guy in a tracksuit and his
face is kind of shadowed because he's got

295
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.839
his hood up. Yeah, I
would assume that your brain would register that

296
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.319
as being exactly that. Yeah.
I would have been like, oh,

297
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.799
it's a human walking to Yeah,
it's a tall guy in the tracksuit.

298
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.440
Yeah, because I mean that's where
my brain immediately went to describe it,

299
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:51.200
right, And that's how I've described
it till what was it Like last year

300
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.880
over the summer, I went camping
and they're like, you have any stories,

301
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.720
and I was like, well,
I have one there, you know,

302
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.720
that's my story. To describe it, I need to tracks you because

303
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:06.160
it was great with a silver you
know, slightly left silver outline of it.

304
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.200
But it was just tall and moving
towards me. And it wasn't acting

305
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.839
like a human would have acted,
you know, because if I'm in that

306
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.480
situation and I'm the person, I'm
like, hey, yea, yeah,

307
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.720
I would have said something and not
just disappeared at two am, especially at

308
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:29.680
you know two am isolated parking lot, Yeah, where no one's at some

309
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.400
guy pulls up in a truck and
gets out with the camera and stuff.

310
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.519
I mean, yeah, I mean
that's what you know. My first instinct

311
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:38.119
would have been, if it's a
person, they're probably interested in what I'm

312
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.880
doing, yeah, taking a picture. But it didn't do anything. It

313
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.799
just kept walking or moving towards the
truck, towards me, as if it's

314
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.160
going to like come around the truck
and then come towards me. But I

315
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.920
was like, I'm not gonna sit
around for that to happen because I don't

316
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.519
know what I'm even looking at.
So I know you have no way of

317
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:03.200
knowing this, but in your estimation, you get in your truck, you're

318
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:08.640
looking around kind of wanting to see
it, but not wanting to see it.

319
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.920
Yeah, I mean, did it
have time to get out of there

320
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.759
and go hide somewhere or get out
of you from you could? Is that

321
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.359
a possibility? So the bushes and
trees are really small. It's like there's

322
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.720
like a one giant bush, but
it's like branches. It's like those branch

323
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.880
bushes. So I would have seen
it and I would have heard it too,

324
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.359
like shuffle a a if it was
a person and you can't escape headlights.

325
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.000
I would assume, Yeah, I
can't escape headlights and the lights are

326
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.680
on in the truck. It's not
like I didn't have It wasn't like pitch

327
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.079
black everywhere. It was just these
two lights in the parking lot and then

328
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:52.640
my truck lights. And around where
I am because I'm on the far left

329
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.559
side, there's just bushes, and
then the front of the building which kind

330
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.880
of wraps around like wraps around the
part of the front part of the parking

331
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.240
lot, and then behind like you
know, a way past the building are

332
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.119
like just like some trees and bushes
and just like pitch blackness into like the

333
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.079
night. But it wouldn't have to
go past you to get to that,

334
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.400
like into the headlights or whatever.
Yeah, it would have to it would

335
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:23.440
either have to run past me or
it would have had to just run straight

336
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.079
back where it came from on the
right side of the truck. And you

337
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.039
know, but like across the whole
parking lot to hide behind a bush that

338
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:38.359
it couldn't hide behind that you really
couldn't hide behind with that tall And yeah,

339
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:45.400
so I mean I don't personally,
I just don't see that being a

340
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.039
liable option, only because like there
wasn't much around. It's kind of like

341
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:56.720
it's flatsh with like a couple of
trees around the area. But it's not

342
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.400
like a dense force like out here
in Georgia, where like to seconds,

343
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.039
I'm i to go missing, right, It's it's almost like a plane almost

344
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.839
whenever you first got out of the
vehicle, any impending doom fillings or anything

345
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.799
like that before you saw it.
No, No, not really, no,

346
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.039
not at all. Actually I had
no I was like, I'm gonna

347
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.880
go take a picture, and that
was really the only thing in my mind,

348
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.680
you know. I mean, it's
dark and you can't see anything,

349
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.880
so you're always like hopefully nothing shows
up, like like an animal or like

350
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.480
an air or like a mountain lion
or something. I don't know what's out

351
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.039
there. I don't know any animals
in Colorado. I know it's Colorado.

352
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.079
It's wild. So there was no
feeling though. The only the only time

353
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.000
I actually had that feeling was the
I think the previous night I was in

354
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:51.200
the arches. I think that was
after No, I think it was before

355
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.279
I went to the arches and try
to get a picture. No, it

356
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:56.200
was before, yeah, because I
tried to get a picture, and it

357
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:02.000
was foggy, but though you know, nothing happened there. I did the

358
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.200
same thing, got out of the
car, try to take a picture,

359
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.640
foggy, I can't, got back
in and left. The only thing I

360
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.160
had there was kind of like,
ooh, this is kind of creepy because

361
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.759
the arches are giant rocks, so
you have the night darkness and then you

362
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.160
have the rock darkness, which is
like a contrast. It's way darker than

363
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.000
it is like the night sky,
And so that was like, oh,

364
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.519
that's kind of creepy because you can
just see these giant looming almost like massive

365
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.000
structures, but they're just giant rocks. So that's kind of creepy, you

366
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.720
know, looking into like more darkness
apart from the darkness you're already looking at.

367
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.559
But that's it, you know.
But when I got to the Great

368
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.240
Dunes, I had in mind already. I was like, I'm gonna go

369
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:44.000
take a picture of the stars and
the sand. Dudes. I didn't have

370
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.279
any like inclination of like a like
an impending doom feeling or or anything like

371
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.920
that. On the way up,
you know, there's like little posters they

372
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.960
glow up. It's like a light
bulb almost like crystas lights put us in

373
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.759
the same in the shape of a
flying saucer. Okay, there is that,

374
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.000
Yeah, there's that. On the
way up at someone's property iseline.

375
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.720
So it was like, look an
alien. But it was like, on

376
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.599
my buying around, I'm gonna like, I'm gonna go find an alien tonight.

377
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:21.039
I didn't mind. I was like, I'm gonna take a picture of

378
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.200
stars. You know, I didn't
have any any idea that I would have

379
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:30.839
run into something. So let me
tell you a story. It's about two

380
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.559
o'clock in the morning. Like I'm
not I'm not even I'm not even joking

381
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.799
for real. Same time. Yeah, a friend of mine had come over

382
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:44.880
to my house at this point in
time in my life. My room was

383
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.319
at the back of the house.
The backyards right outside the room. The

384
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:55.240
room has like three double windows on
the back wall that faced the backyard,

385
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.000
and there's a chain link fence with
a very old, squeaky gait right there

386
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:07.119
by the house. So oftentimes my
friends would just come to the back and

387
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.759
come in through the gate and knock
on my window and you can hear the

388
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.799
gate like as soon as they hit
the handle on the gate. You can

389
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.240
hear it. This friend of mine
had come over. We're sitting in that

390
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.039
back room. It's getting kind of
late, about two o'clock. All I

391
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.839
remember for certain. It was after
one point thirty. I know that,

392
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.000
so I'm guessing that it was around
two eight. We go out of my

393
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:37.079
house through the front door. His
car is parked right there in the driveway,

394
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:45.480
and at my house, my driveway
and the neighbor's driveway are side by

395
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.160
side to the point where it just
forms like a double wide driveway going from

396
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.039
the street all the way to the
back of the house. His car is

397
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.240
in my driveway, but there's like
an empty driveway next to it. And

398
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:02.759
then my vehicle was parked in front
of his, and I was driving a

399
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:11.319
Ford Explorer at the time. So
we're standing behind his vehicle in the driveway

400
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:18.200
just talking before he leaves, and
we hear the gate at the back of

401
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.839
the house. Well, I'm thinking
it must be one of my friends coming

402
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.680
over and they went around back and
we just missed one another. So I

403
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.000
start looking around. I don't see
any cars, you know, none of

404
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.519
my friends vehicles are out there.
Yeah, And so we're kind of like

405
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:41.839
looking at one another and looking down
the driveway, and the driveway kind of

406
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.680
widens behind the house a little bit, so you can't see the gate from

407
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.039
the driveway at the front of the
house. So we're waiting for whoever it

408
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.480
is to come walking out from around
the corner at the back of the house.

409
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.079
At the end of the driveway on
the neighbors side, on the front

410
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:03.160
of their garage is one of those
orange outdoor lights like you were talking about,

411
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:08.079
So there is that light. A
few seconds go by, here comes

412
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:17.279
somebody walking out from behind the house, just like we expected. My driveway

413
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:25.880
is maybe fifty feet long, sixty
feet long from where we are, so

414
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.519
not real far, but it's not
real close. And I don't recognize the

415
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:37.079
person. I can't just instantly recognize
them. And they walk to a position

416
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:44.279
where they're now my vehicle and his
vehicle are now blocking the view of them.

417
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.279
We can't see them anymore. That's
interesting. Yeah, So we start

418
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.400
walking back over into my front yard
to change the angle where we could see

419
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:59.039
them. Yeah, and we don't
see them. They're not there, and

420
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.359
I'm just like, what's going on. I'm pretty much in the middle of

421
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.559
my front yard at this point,
and for some reason, I don't know

422
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.880
why didn't think to like yell out
or anything. Maybe it's because it was

423
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.559
so late. You know, we
work our way back over towards the driveway.

424
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.720
Now we're going to change our angle
on the other side, you know,

425
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:24.039
to see who this is. As
soon as we walk over back basically

426
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:30.119
to where we had been, you
can see them, but they're standing in

427
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:37.079
the shadow next to my neighbor's house, almost like they're hiding. Yeah,

428
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:45.119
we kind of like step out into
the neighbor's driveway, still at the back

429
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.240
of his vehicle, but even with
it, and now we're in the other

430
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:53.920
driveway and they start walking down the
driveway towards us, directly towards us.

431
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:59.720
Here's something else to say, just
for a side note, he and I

432
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:05.480
are both really big dudes, not
small at all. Intimidating for sure.

433
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.920
I do not recognize this person at
all. What I can tell you from

434
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.759
what I can see because they're backlit
by this light at my neighbor's house at

435
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:22.160
this point. So the silhouette,
Yeah, the silhouette is like a person

436
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:30.599
much smaller than me, but looks
like an adult male long hair. I

437
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:36.200
can tell that they have long hair. It looks like some sort of jacket

438
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:44.160
and pants, pretty uniform. I
was thinking, maybe it's a jean jacket

439
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:49.920
and jeans or something. And they're
just like walking right towards us, and

440
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:55.440
he and I are standing there,
and this is the weird part. Neither

441
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:59.400
one of us could move. Neither
one of us could talk, We couldn't

442
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.680
move, we couldn't do anything.
We were just standing there frozen. And

443
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:10.360
this person made their way straight to
us. And right before they got to

444
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.960
us, they turned to their left, which was our right, and changed

445
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:21.599
their angle where they walked between us
and the corner of my neighbor's house and

446
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:28.519
just cut straight across my neighbor's front
yard. They walked through the yard to

447
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.679
the sidewalk and then walked down the
sidewalk. We're watching them this whole time.

448
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.079
They're just casually strolling. They never
say anything, they never stop.

449
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:43.800
They go all the way to the
end of the street. They turn left.

450
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:50.440
We can still see them walking.
As soon as we lost view of

451
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.800
them as they like went behind the
house at the end of the street,

452
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.960
we snap out of it and we're
both just like, what the hell.

453
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:06.320
Hell, here's the thing. I
will swear on anything. It did not

454
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:14.679
have a face. It was just
empty blackness. At its closest point,

455
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:22.440
it was I'm getting goosebumps right now, man, I used to go out

456
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.119
and look for Bigfoot. Yeah,
this is the scariest thing that's ever happened

457
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.920
to me in my life. This
thing did not have a face. It

458
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:34.079
was just empty darkness. It was
like there was a silhouette. It was

459
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.719
three dimensional. I could tell it
had long hair, I could tell it

460
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.639
had clothing on, but it was
all just black. There was nothing there.

461
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.400
Yeah, my friend saw the exact
same thing. He still won't talk

462
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.440
about it really, Like he doesn't
like to talk about it. I mean,

463
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.719
like I could. I haven't talked
to this guy in probably five years.

464
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.079
I could call him up and be
like, hey, man, you

465
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.840
remember that thing in the driveway,
and he'd be like, you know,

466
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.960
shut the f up, man,
don't talk about it. Yeah. Whenever

467
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.440
we snapped out of it, you
know, I'm like, what the hell

468
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:08.599
was that? And he's like,
it didn't have a face, Like that

469
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.840
was the first thing he said.
Oh yeah, I immediately go inside the

470
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:19.519
house, call nine to one one
and I called the cops. Man,

471
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.679
I didn't know I was shook.
I was absolutely shook. I said,

472
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:30.000
there was a guy in my backyard. Yeah, they send the cops.

473
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.719
I tell them, you know,
we tell them the story. We don't

474
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.599
tell them that it didn't have a
face or anything. We just say this

475
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.159
person. We didn't We couldn't really
make any details out. They walked down

476
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.840
to the industry. They turned left, the cops went drove around. He

477
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:51.559
and I got in his vehicle,
drove around, never saw anybody, couldn't

478
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:55.079
find anybody. I have no idea
what it was, but I will swear

479
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.360
until I die it did not have
a face. It was just darkness,

480
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:06.599
just a black void where its face
should have been. It's interesting that you

481
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:12.960
say you couldn't move and that,
because that's how I felt like the moment.

482
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.679
I thought. I don't know if
it was the same for you,

483
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:19.679
if it like took you a little
longer, But it was like I instantly

484
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.840
looked registered it wasn't a person,
and then it couldn't move. Yeah,

485
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.519
And it felt like I was forcing
you know how you get like sleep paralysis.

486
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:30.639
Yeah, yeah, that's what it
felt like. And I had to

487
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:36.199
force myself out of it to move
towards my truck. But for you,

488
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.639
like what was that feeling of like
you couldn't move and did you get sick?

489
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:45.199
Almost, So, whenever I first
saw it step out from behind my

490
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.760
house and you know, kind of
walk to where it was hidden from view,

491
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.199
at that point, it was like
just kind of that ice cold vein

492
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.039
feeling. And then I was like, who is that? You know,

493
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.880
my mind is trying to process again
what I'm seeing, and like, who

494
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.719
is this? Who is at my
house? Because like I heard the gate.

495
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.960
I know we both heard the gate, so yeah, so it's like

496
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:17.239
physical right, And then whenever we
saw it again and it's like leaned over

497
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.719
against the house as soon as it
stepped out of the shadow and started walking

498
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:28.119
towards us, is when we both
just froze, just could not move.

499
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:36.119
Because in any normal situation, he
and I, especially him, would have

500
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.480
been like, hey, who are
you you know? Yeah, I mean,

501
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:44.199
especially if you're that build. Yeah
yeah, yeah, for sure.

502
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:50.679
I have no explanation for our behavior, for its behavior, what it looked

503
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.760
like, anything. And here's the
other weird thing about it. Like I

504
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.679
said, we heard the gate,
we heard it come out of the backyard,

505
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:00.519
but we had been in my room
the entire time, and we never

506
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:06.719
heard the gate where it went into
the backyard. Oh so it disappeared or

507
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:15.199
I have no idea. I have
no clue. It's funny that you even

508
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.039
say it had like a jean jacket
on, because it's great. Still.

509
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:22.800
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't make
out like any colors or anything. Did

510
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.559
I have like a silver lining around
it? Uh? Not that I remember.

511
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:31.840
Okay, it was kind of like, I mean, there was just

512
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:36.480
like the outline of it because of
the light that was behind it at the

513
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:43.960
end of the driveway. Yeah,
but still at that I mean, anybody

514
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.880
else walking down my driveway, I
would like it wasn't that dark. But

515
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.400
this thing was dark, like a
shadow like darker than its surroundings. It

516
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.360
did, Yeah, because that's what
the like to me. I could tell

517
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.800
that the suit it was wearing,
it was obviously not pitch black. It

518
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.840
was just like there was no there
were I didn't see hands, didn't see

519
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.840
feet, and there was no face. You know. I looked it was

520
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:13.239
looking straight at me, and that's
the thing. I was looking straight at

521
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:17.400
me. So if there was texture, you know, as someone was wearing

522
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.920
a mask, I could have seen
that. Because it's twenty twenty one,

523
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.679
I believe at this point, and
some people are still wearing masks at the

524
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:30.760
time. No mask, no full
face thing. It was just nothing,

525
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:36.360
almost as if you're looking into the
darkness that I heard that's around me.

526
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:42.480
Anyway, when you mentioned where you
moved the angle right of the truck or

527
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.079
the car, I did the same
thing because that's where. That's why I

528
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:50.559
moved left to like change the angle, and that's when it wasn't there anymore.

529
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.960
Yeah, I mean, I've tried
to figure this one out for years,

530
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:04.920
and the reason being is obviously I
know there's going to be people listening

531
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:08.239
to this episode and I get it. Oh, so it was just like

532
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:13.880
some guy in your backyard, you
know it was dark out or something.

533
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.599
No, if that were it,
I wouldn't be telling you about it right

534
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:21.320
now. Well, you also have
like a feeling, and that's you know,

535
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.559
people during the camping trip ask me
the same thing, like, it's

536
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:27.360
sure wasn't just a guy. I
was like, I don't think I would

537
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.159
be reacting the same way if it
was a guy, right, And I

538
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:34.440
probably would have said something. On
a personable person, I don't say nothing,

539
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:39.119
and I don't get scared off of
seeing somebody well me And then another

540
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:45.239
guy who, yeah, you're with
somebody too. I mean, my friend

541
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:51.639
is very confrontational. He likes to
get into fights. And you know,

542
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:57.679
in a normal scenario, this is
somebody that doesn't belong on my property,

543
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.960
that's all my property, and has
just gotten busted. You know, like

544
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.840
we're gonna beat the crap out of
this guy. You know, like,

545
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.599
who are you? Why are you
in my backyard? Man? What are

546
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.119
you doing here? Yeah? Honestly, and we were both just like frozen,

547
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.119
couldn't move, could not move.
It wasn't even a choice. And

548
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:23.480
it wasn't like frozen with fear as
much as it was just almost just like

549
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:29.000
in a zombie state, just like
watching it, nothing even registering, just

550
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.679
watching it walk by, just standing
there and watching this thing walk by.

551
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:37.880
And then after it got out of
sight where we couldn't see it anymore.

552
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:44.960
And keep in mind, it's walked
it's at least six houses to the end

553
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:50.239
of the block. It's walked right
by us within five feet. It's walked

554
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.960
through this front yard, it's walked
down the sidewalk, it's turned left,

555
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.079
it's walked past that house. After
it goes out of you, we instantly

556
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.800
snap out of it. And start
freaking out. Not while it's walking away,

557
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:07.119
not whenever it's five houses away.
Well, also is it right next

558
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.559
to you too? Yeah, And
the entire time, even with it walking

559
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.880
down the sidewalk and all of that, still can't see anything, can't make

560
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:21.679
out a face, nothing. Granted
it's back was turned to us and everything,

561
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:23.599
but even as it's walking down the
side, you know, at the

562
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:29.760
end of the street, there's no
like profile to it or anything. Yeah,

563
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.440
that's wild. Yeah, Like even
I don't even know to think about

564
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.119
that one, I mean yours.
I would like to say, you saw

565
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:44.000
an alien, you know, wearing
a space suit at the dunes in Colorado?

566
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:47.800
Mine shadow, man, I don't
know. Are they the same thing?

567
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:51.800
I don't know. Do they come
from the same place, No clue.

568
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.400
All I know is you saw something
without a face and I saw something

569
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:59.280
without a face. Yeah, I
mean it could have been lead the same

570
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:07.000
hype of something and very similar reactions
in both cases, I would say,

571
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.199
Yeah, very similar, I'd say. And that's the thing is, like

572
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.920
I was kind of hoping you have
like some kind of exclamation, but well,

573
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.239
because I was, like, I've
been looking for one for so long

574
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:23.480
and I still just even just thinking
about it. Whenever I'm out alone by

575
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:28.480
myself at night, it's just like, oh, maybe i'll see it again.

576
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:31.519
I don't know. I'm hoping.
I don't obviously, but it's just

577
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:37.440
like always there. So the only
thing that comes to mind. And it's

578
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:44.599
not the same place exactly, I
don't know exactly where it is. So

579
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:52.039
I'm from Oklahoma and out towards the
Panhandle, which is the general area you

580
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:58.760
were at. There's a place here
in Oklahoma where all kinds of like crazy

581
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:04.960
weird stuff happens, the Shamans Triangle
or something weird like that. It's got

582
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.199
some crazy name, and it's just
like it's just like a weird place where

583
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:17.360
people see UFOs and weird things and
weird stuff happens all the time. So

584
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:24.199
I'm wondering if maybe something connected to
just that geographic region of the United States

585
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:29.039
or something. I don't know.
I don't know. I mean, I

586
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:34.440
haven't looked into anything regarding the Great
Dudes. I did very briefly before I

587
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:36.800
emailed you. I was like,
maybe this is like a normal thing.

588
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:42.519
I didn't find too much. The
only thing I did find was like aliens.

589
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:46.960
But it's like I haven't seen anything. I don't know, and I

590
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:52.639
part of me wants to go back
and like figure out what it is or

591
