00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.519
I want to warn you that I'm
not much of a writer. I'm gonna

2
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.039
stay at home mother, and I've
been wanting to write my experiences to you

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.039
for a while now. All three
of the kids are in school, and

4
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:25.679
it's wintertime on our farm when everything
slows down, and I'm thrilled to be

5
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.440
sharing this with you finally, and
please again forgive my inability to write.

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.240
I'm just going to stop here.
I haven't done anything to the story.

7
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.679
I'm reading it straight off her email, and it's to the writer. You

8
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.920
did a great job on this.
There's nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with it.

9
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.280
I live in Bozeman, Montana.
I've had two encounters with something.

10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.399
The first one was when I lived
in Pony, Montana. It's a tiny

11
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.320
town tucked into the mountains. Around
twenty twelve, my friend and I were

12
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.280
in the mountains above Pony, Montana. There's a hot spring up there that

13
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.920
a good friend of mine was a
caretaker for. The owners were a rich

14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.760
couple that were never there and especially
in the harsh winters. Being Montana girls,

15
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.079
we were never afraid to grab some
beer and throw the car in four

16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.480
wheel drive and sneak up to these
hot springs. The pools were tucked into

17
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.760
a ravine that was surrounded by steep
mountains and large rocks. It really was

18
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.719
a beautiful and peaceful place. There
was a gate and there was a key,

19
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.439
and we had access to it thanks
to our friend. We probably abused

20
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:41.400
our privileges, but either way,
we had fun and time moves on young

21
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.879
single girls that knew we would rather
ask for forgiveness than for permission. This

22
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.040
pool was about the size of an
average swimming pool, and above that was

23
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.680
a smaller pool and a wood stove
sauna. We would often sit in the

24
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.480
sauna. It had start a fire
in the stove and pour water over the

25
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.760
rocks sat on top of it.
Well. This created the heat and that

26
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.240
was our little heaven. This had
been the hundredth time that we had been

27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.360
up there. We always had plenty
of our favorite beer and music with us.

28
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.879
After we sat in the sauna,
we jumped in the pool. This

29
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.120
was around eleven pm. We swam
to the far end and talked about whatever

30
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.520
girls talk about. We were drinking
our beer, and after about ten minutes

31
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:32.120
both of us instantly had this eerie
feeling that something was watching us. We've

32
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:38.360
had this feeling before, but not
quite this strong. There was a mountain

33
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.199
lion known to be in the area, so before we had this eerie feeling,

34
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.240
we always thought it was a mountain
lion. We always carried a gun,

35
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.319
and we knew not to have food
and to beware of our surroundings.

36
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.560
But this was different. This was
almost gut wrenching. It was just the

37
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.240
two of us girls. I was
in my mid twenties and my friend was

38
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.800
a few years and we skinny dipped
in this pool. We heard what sounded

39
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.400
like a rock thrown from the mountain
and it hit the dirt outside of the

40
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.400
pool, and it kind of rolled
a little bit toward us, almost like

41
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.759
someone had thrown it from the top
of the mountain. My friend asked me,

42
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.800
do you think that's Bill. That's
the name of the caretaker. I

43
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.400
said, how would he have gotten
up there on that incline. Knowing Bill,

44
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.599
he would have made his presence known. We sat there in silence with

45
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.680
this eerie feeling. The chills I
felt in that hot pool were almost painful,

46
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.919
and every fiber of my being was
telling me to go to go as

47
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.719
fast as we could go and get
out of there. When I turned to

48
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.960
my friend, her face was white. I said, something does not want

49
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.560
us here tonight. I think we
need to leave. Our clothes and towels

50
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.520
were at the other end of the
pool. We swam six or seven feet

51
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.879
over to our stuff. To get
to our car on the trail down to

52
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.319
the main road, we had to
walk or run about eight hundred feet,

53
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.439
but we made it to the car. We did not forget our beer.

54
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.080
Even inside the car, we felt
this empty, almost evil feeling, or

55
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.480
some kind of presence. It's hard
to explain, and I'm sorry if I'm

56
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.600
doing a terrible job at it.
I imagine that others have had this and

57
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.759
can relate to what I'm trying to
explain. We drove a bottom mile to

58
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.160
the lock gate, and my friend
was also scared, and she dropped the

59
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.000
key in the snow. Now I
got out to help her, and we

60
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.360
found it, and she drove out, and in her headlights there were a

61
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.639
pair of large footprints from the field
to the fence of the right of the

62
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.439
gate. I didn't follow them to
see how far they went up, but

63
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.160
there were no other cars or tracks, and it was far enough away from

64
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:56.720
our front prints to distinguish that they
were most definitely not ours. I locked

65
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.600
the gate and then I screamed it
my friend, let's get out of here.

66
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.680
And as we drove down there were
only one set of tire tracks,

67
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:09.000
our tracks going in. We stayed
up all night talking about it. It

68
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.959
was unexplainable and the feeling was something
neither of us had felt before. And

69
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.800
then I called my dad. He's
a retired police officer and he has followed

70
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.120
the missing four to one one Bigfoot
stories for a long time, and he's

71
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.680
also a huge fan of your podcast, Oh Cool. His explanation sparked my

72
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.399
interest. Now I've read that it
is common to have a second encounter after

73
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:40.360
you've had the first. That is
according to some experts. Anyway, ten

74
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.759
years later I was married now and
I had three beautiful children, and my

75
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.560
husband and our farmers and Bozeman a
long time, and date nights are far

76
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.879
and few between. One night during
the winter we were able to have a

77
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.639
kid free night. We decided to
go to dinner and drive up to a

78
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.279
local lake for a little adventure.
We knew the road would be sketchy with

79
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.600
the snow, and it was windy, and the road up to the lake

80
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.399
is surrounded by forests. We had
to take his truck and we barely made

81
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.040
it in the snow, but we
parked the truck by the lake once we

82
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.920
made it and decided to sit on
the tailgate facing the mountains. Again.

83
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.519
We were the only car up there, and we did not see any other

84
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.600
tracks before us, and certainly no
one came up behind us. It was

85
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.639
snowing and it was pretty warm that
night, so we bundled up and grabbed

86
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.600
our drinks and talked on the tailgate. Just before I said to my husband

87
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.279
that I was getting cold, that
feeling of dread and terror came over me

88
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.600
again. So much time had elapsed
that I had forgotten about my friend,

89
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.680
and I was creepy experience, But
when that feeling came over me again,

90
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.800
it all came back. My husband
looked at me and he asked, what's

91
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.879
going on with you? Just then, a rock came out of the darkness

92
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.160
and it hit the ground about three
feet in front of us, and it

93
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:08.439
rolled to the passenger side of the
truck. I looked up at my husband,

94
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.920
and by the look on his face, I knew he had the same

95
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:16.240
gut wrenching feeling that I did.
We got back in the pickup and he

96
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.639
asked what the hell was that.
He explained that right before the rock hit

97
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.439
the ground, he got an icky, sick feeling. I told him that

98
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.279
I did too. He turned the
truck around and we shined our lights out

99
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.240
toward the trees where the rock came
from. There was not a soul,

100
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.439
not a car, or anything to
be seen. The tree line was a

101
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.040
half a mile from us, and
there was nothing in between us and it.

102
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.199
On the way down the mountain,
I told my husband about me and

103
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.000
my friend at the hot springs,
and we decided to tell my dad,

104
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.160
and that is when he told us
about your podcast. Even though I did

105
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.839
not actually see something, I can
relate to a lot of others and their

106
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:03.120
stories. Deep down, I always
thought it was something like Bigfoot. From

107
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.720
the fear of being deemed a crackpie, I have never let myself truly believe

108
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.079
what I thought, and I've never
told anyone. I think it's safe to

109
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.800
say that I do believe now.
Thank you for listening and reading my story.

110
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.399
Her name is Samantha, and she
says, I do not mind if

111
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.879
you use my name. I changed
the name of the caretaker. I changed

112
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.759
it to Bill. Okay, all
right, Well, that was a great

113
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.360
story. You know, we get
a lot of these stories where people just

114
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:39.679
have these unbelievable feelings of dread of
danger, something watching them, rocks hit

115
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.840
the ground out of nowhere, all
this kind of stuff. Who knows if

116
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.919
that's a bigfoot, But it could
be something. I mean, you know,

117
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.600
there's all kinds of stuff going on
at this places like the Skinwalker Ranch.

118
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.480
I don't know. I mean,
could it be an alien? I'm

119
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.080
stupid, I don't know. I'm
a moron. I don't put all these

120
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.639
two and two together, and I
can't. I'm not real studied in these

121
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.440
topics. But it could be anything. I don't know. It couldn't be

122
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.279
what throws rocks. Where do rocks
come from? Out of the middle of

123
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.240
nowhere? Something has to throw them. So anyway, this was a great

124
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.159
story. I got kind of creeped
out reading it. So thanks Samantha for

125
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.200
sending this. And you did a
great job writing this. Very good job.

126
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.200
Thank you, ma'am. Okay,
there's no name on this email,

127
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.600
but it is really good. I
have always believed in all things supernatural and

128
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:45.159
unexplainable in our strange world, things
like ghosts and aliens and windowgoes, etc.

129
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.559
I've seen things I couldn't even begin
to explain going back to us early

130
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.000
as sharing my bunk bed in a
room with my sister and both of us

131
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:01.840
experiencing and seeing and hearing unnatural things. This past May, I got married

132
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.440
to my husband, Chad, and
he's the one to blame for my unplanned

133
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.159
beings dive into Bigfoot. It's not
his fault, of course. I grew

134
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.240
up hearing stories about bigfoot from my
very large family for years. I was

135
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.480
always intrigued by what they were and
if they were really out there in our

136
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.440
Minnesota woods, but it never really
pulled my leg until now. What started

137
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.600
all of this was because of a
real bigfoot encounter. Ched told me that

138
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.399
he had and which he didn't tell
me for a long time, and he

139
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.799
predicted I wouldn't have believed him anyway. Ten years ago, it was late

140
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:45.480
August and Ched was a senior in
high school. He had just turned eighteen,

141
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.080
and he was enjoying his last summer
weekend before school started up the following

142
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.960
Monday. Him and his buddy were
hanging out Friday night at his friend's parents'

143
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:01.039
house. They started out the night
playing video games, drinking soda, and

144
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.440
realizing that neither of them had eaten. They went upstairs and hopped in their

145
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.279
friend's car and ran to the store. They decided to grab some steaks.

146
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.240
Once they were back, they decided
to grill them up outside on the deck

147
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.000
in the backyard. The deck was
two stories high, and the forestation behind

148
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.759
the house was super thick, and
it was dense with trees, and there

149
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.879
was roughly ten yards from the house
in each direction to the forest. It

150
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.879
was totally surrounded. As soon as
they lit up the grill for the stakes,

151
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.960
they started hearing rustling noises coming out
of the undergrowth in the tree line.

152
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.519
Well. Initially they chalked it up
to a deer or cody or some

153
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.279
other animal, and they continued grilling. They were used to the wild animals

154
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.360
out in the woods, and then
both Chadny's friend heard a loud double knock,

155
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.039
like the sound of the cracking of
a baseball bat against a tree.

156
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.919
They both froze for a second,
looking off straight into the woods where they

157
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.519
heard the sound coming from, thinking
what the hell was that. Chad hollered

158
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.799
out at it after a second,
saying, well, knock, not to

159
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.960
you too, but well. They
both started laughing it off like it was

160
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.840
nothing, and they forgot about it
quickly, and then suddenly they heard the

161
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.840
same double knock again. This time
the sound was coming slightly from the right

162
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.919
of the woods, and again the
rustling under the bushes in the tree line

163
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.600
started all over again. They finished
their stakes, and they were two on

164
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.240
edge to enjoy them now, and
they chucked their remaining ta bones to the

165
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.440
left of the tree line, both
of them flying past the clearing, and

166
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.240
the rustling that they were hearing in
front of them was now crashing loudly to

167
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.759
the left toward those bones. They
turned the propane off to the grill really

168
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.960
fast and got the hell out of
there, and they bee lined it toward

169
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.919
the house. His friend grabbed his
car keys and says, man, let's

170
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.519
get out of here, and they
jumped into the car and the tires peeled,

171
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.159
not even looking back toward the house. Once they slowed up about a

172
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.279
mile away from his friend's place,
each of them pulled out a cigarette and

173
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.440
popped in a rush CD. I
don't know why I think that's funny,

174
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.799
but that's just kind of funny.
They started off by listening to Tom Sawyer

175
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.320
because they both thought there was something
relaxing about the music effects in that track.

176
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.000
His friend was still driving and they
took a ride down a dirt road

177
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.480
toward the backwoods neighborhood. They reached
t in the road and they took another

178
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.080
right. The friend was only going
about twenty miles an hour because he knew

179
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.519
that deer were notorious on that road
and people hit him all the time.

180
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.519
Music was blasting and they were singing
back and forth to each other, and

181
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.360
Chad looked out the windshield on a
whim and right in front of them,

182
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.120
moving quickly to the left in two
huge steps, he saw a damn bigfoot

183
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:01.000
cross the road with eyes wide and
in shot. His friend noticed Chad's face

184
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.759
and asked him what was up,
and he slowed down the car. Chad

185
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.200
choked out the words, it's a
bigfoot man, his friend replying loudly,

186
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.679
a bigfoot. Chad nodded rapidly,
and his friend immediately whipped the car around,

187
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.559
shouting where they drove back about one
hundred feet, and Chad pointed to

188
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.639
where he saw him cross the road. His friend pulled the headlights into the

189
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.039
ditch toward the patch of broken matted
weeds, and his headlights were pointing at

190
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.879
a tree about seventy five feet in
front of them. This tree stood twenty

191
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.320
five or thirty feet tall and there
was a two way branch splitting starting up

192
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.200
at about eight feet from the base. Chad was staring at the space in

193
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.440
the split tree and realized he was
looking at a gray brown, reddish hair

194
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.080
covered chest. He slowly looked upward
and he saw the face four feet above

195
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.919
the split, and it was staring
right back at him. Chad said that

196
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.639
this thing looked very old and very
sinis her, and it was definitely not

197
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.399
happy that some kids had spotted him
mistakenly. Chad was terrified, and he

198
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.840
realized he was holding his breath,
and once a friend opened the car door,

199
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.919
he tried to scream get back in
the car, but he only ended

200
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.080
up choking his words out. He
was too scared to talk. Before speaking

201
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.120
English again, he looked back at
the tree to see if the bigfoot was

202
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.240
still there, and he caught this
beast breaking off a branch toward the top

203
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.000
of the tree like it was a
pretzel. The bigfoot then hurled the branch

204
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:37.320
clear over the car and immediately caught
his friend's attention as it passed the other

205
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.240
side of the ditch and landed with
a loud crash in the field behind the

206
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.799
car well. They looked at each
other and they were freaking out, and

207
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.840
Chad finally screamed, let's go.
The second he shouted that, the bigfoot

208
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.360
let out a deep, resonating evil
roar. Chad's friend froze in fear,

209
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.399
the flight respinse catching up to him. He jumped into the car. Chad

210
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.799
was already in there, and he
slammed the car into reverse, pointing them

211
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.559
to the right, and then slammed
it into drive and he took off fast,

212
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.840
kicking up so much dirt and dust
that they couldn't see the tail lights.

213
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.840
Neither of them said a word to
each other the entire way back to

214
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.639
his friend's house. They were trying
to come to terms with what had just

215
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.840
happened to them. Once they were
back at the house, Chad asked his

216
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.480
friend, along with using some choice
words, can you believe that just happened?

217
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.559
No, it didn't happen because I
refuse to believe it and I don't

218
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.600
want to be looked at as crazy, replied his friend. Well, how

219
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.480
can you say that, said Chad, you saw what happened. We don't

220
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.320
have to tell anyone, but you
can't ignore this. Well, maybe you

221
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.480
can't, as friend said, but
I can't. And if you tell anyone

222
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:53.759
I was involved, I will deny
it until I'm dead. His friend finished

223
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.759
the conversation and headed toward his dad's
liquor cabinet. They weren't old enough to

224
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.279
drink legally, but they both took
a shot or two, not mentioning the

225
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.440
encounter of the rest of the night. I thought my husband was crazy when

226
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.279
he told me this story. I
didn't believe him at first, but I

227
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.039
really thought about it, and I
thought this is too detailed to be light

228
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.680
about. So one afternoon, a
week after he told me this story,

229
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.319
he brought me to where this had
all gone down ten years ago. It

230
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.519
was a nice sunny day, and
I figured we'd go on the adventure with

231
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.559
our dog. I parked car on
the side of the dirt road was seventy

232
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.000
five feet from the tree, where
you could still see the break from the

233
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.759
branch, and when I saw that, I got goosebumps all over my arms.

234
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.839
We got out and started looking around, seeing if we could find any

235
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.759
clues from his encounter or new footfalls
in the area. I was trying to

236
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.559
look for the huge branch this creature
had broken off and thrown, but I

237
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.759
couldn't find it. We did find
what looked to be a trail of matted

238
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.160
dawn on grass leading to the tree
from the dirt road, and on the

239
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.039
opposite side of the road, the
trail of matted down grass continued into the

240
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:14.240
forest. On that side we found
a fresh break of a tree branch sticking

241
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.400
straight up in the dirt, like
someone had stuck it there very recently,

242
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.400
sort of like a marker. Instantly
we both smell something rancid. It was

243
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.920
like death and sewage, and we
covered our noses. We were standing completely

244
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.839
still at this moment. We were
one hundred feet from that tree line.

245
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.440
The sounds of the bugs and birds
had completely stopped, and our dog was

246
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.519
on guard. Her hair was standing
straight up, and she was growling,

247
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:47.279
and she was staring in the direction
of those trees. We heard a couple

248
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.000
of whistles coming from the left and
the right, and then some more in

249
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.200
front of us. Chad and I
started walking backwards slowly, and our dog

250
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.480
ran to the car and jumped in, and when we got there, she

251
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.279
was shaking in fear. I still
wasn't able to see anything, but the

252
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.920
feeling of the fear creeped up on
me, and we just kept walking slowly

253
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.279
back to the car, not making
any sudden moves. That was when I

254
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.160
stopped dead in my tracks because I
realized I was now looking at a large,

255
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.000
reddish brown figure in the tree line, and then I saw it crouch

256
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.319
down and disappear once he had noticed
that I noticed him. I held in

257
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.960
a scream. My heart was pumping, and Chad and I booked it back

258
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.839
to the car. We didn't peel
out, We just drove slowly down the

259
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.160
road and I was looking out the
window toward the tree line to see if

260
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.720
I could see anything again, and
I spotted a different but similar creature with

261
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.640
darker hair, and it was significantly
smaller. I pulled my phone out and

262
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.640
took a picture, but this thing
noticed me too soon and hid as soon

263
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.799
as I snapped the photo. And
then we drove away and we haven't gone

264
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.559
back there since. I believe my
husband now one hundred and ten percent,

265
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.720
and I have proof of my own
that Bigfoot is out there. You can

266
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:10.559
call this crazy, but I couldn't
make this shit up. That's what I

267
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.640
say about a lot of these stories. It's hard to make this stuff up.

268
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.839
And then maybe that explains the blurry
pictures. I don't know. I

269
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.319
did some memes kind of poking fun
at blurry pictures. But maybe Bigfoot knows

270
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.960
that he's getting a picture taken of
him, and he moves real quick and

271
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.640
like right about the time the shutter
opens up, and that's why Bigfoot pictures

272
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.240
are so blurry. I don't know, but this was great. This girl

273
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.279
marries this guy. He tells her
a Bigfoot story. She doesn't believe it.

274
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.039
They go there. Now, the
event happened ten years ago. I'm

275
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.839
looking back through through the email here, But ten years the tree still there,

276
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.880
the two top is still there.
The branch that got broken off is

277
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.440
let's see, they couldn't find it
on the other side of the road,

278
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.279
but the branch was broken off,
and she took him to the exact tree

279
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.680
with a fork in the tree trunk. That's interesting to me. And then

280
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:08.079
of course she actually saw something there. I know I'm just reiterating the story,

281
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.400
but I'm trying to make a point. It would be pretty cool to

282
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.799
go back to a place that happened
ten years ago and show somebody see that

283
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.279
tree, right there see that branch
broken off of it. That's what that

284
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.759
bigfoot broke off and through it me, damn it. That's what I'm talking

285
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.039
about. All right. This was
a great story. I really appreciate the

286
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.519
writer sending it. She did a
great job writing it, and I loved

287
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:37.480
it. Thank you. All right, this is a really good encounter.

288
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.480
I think you guys will enjoy this. Let's see the person don't know anything

289
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.920
about the name. Let's just get
on with the story. She writes,

290
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.599
I've had many experiences in my life
that people have laughed at me for.

291
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.000
I never let them bother me.
I know what I'm about to tell you

292
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.559
is the truth, and I'm not
afraid to tell my story. You go,

293
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:02.680
girl. When I was fourteen,
we lived in a new housing track

294
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.359
in California called Diamond Bar. We
had lived there since I was eleven,

295
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.160
and my best friend Nicki lived next
door. During the summer, we used

296
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.000
to sneak out of our houses at
night and go exploring. I had a

297
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.720
front bedroom and a balcony, so
I would climb over the railing and cross

298
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.200
the roof to the garage and then
shimmy down the fence gate to the backyard.

299
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:30.160
NICKI only had to sneak down her
stairs. Once we were free,

300
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.000
we would begin our adventures. That
often meant that we would go to the

301
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:38.000
community clubhouse that was over a mile
away. Our favorite thing to do there

302
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.599
was to put patio chairs in the
pool and sit in them for a couple

303
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.799
of hours before going home. It
may not sound like much fun to you,

304
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.039
but we were young and the very
idea of sneaking out was a big

305
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.480
deal for us. One night,
we were sitting there in the pool looking

306
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.240
up at the sky, and when
we noticed a light that seemed to be

307
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:02.160
closer than it should be. We
both thought it was strange. The neighborhood

308
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.839
guard drove up at that moment,
so we both dove under the water.

309
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.079
When we came up for air,
the guard had left and the light was

310
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.000
gone. We decided it was time
to head home, so we put away

311
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.839
our chairs and we started the walk
back. I noticed the light was back

312
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.160
in the sky and it seemed to
be following us well. We hurried home,

313
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.599
and that night I climbed the fence
and crossed the roof and climbed back

314
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:32.960
over the railing faster than I had
ever done before. Once I was inside,

315
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.279
I turned around to look for the
light, and even though I had

316
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.640
a view of the entire valley from
my balcony, I didn't see it anywhere.

317
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.519
So I just went to bed.
The following spring, my parents went

318
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.599
to Hawaii with my grandmother, and
they left my older sister to watch me

319
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.079
and my little sister. It was
good Friday, and I had walked to

320
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:57.319
a girlfriend's house about a mile away
for a party. Back then, I

321
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:03.279
walked and rode my bike everywhere.
Later, it was getting late, so

322
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.240
I decided i'd better be getting home
now. I reached the point where I

323
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.799
had to turn onto our street and
I noticed the light and the sky again.

324
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.359
There were a lot of clouds that
night, but the light seemed to

325
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.440
be moving through them. I wasn't
afraid of it. I was just curious.

326
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:23.200
Our neighborhood was surrounded by hills,
with a large cattle and horse ranch

327
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.079
behind our house, and the hills
went on for miles. NICKI and I

328
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.319
love to trespass onto the ranch and
ride the horses bare back and chase the

329
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.920
cattle. We were tomboys. When
I got to our house, I started

330
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.720
up the stairs and I noticed the
light coming from under my sister's room.

331
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.759
It was odd that she would be
up so late. It was around midnight.

332
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.119
Unlike my room that faced the front, hers faced the back and overlooked

333
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.079
the ranch. I walked over and
I opened the door. Her shars were

334
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.000
pulled closed, but there was light
coming through them, bouncing off her mirror

335
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.559
and onto her face. My sister
seemed to be in some kind of a

336
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.359
trance, and I went over and
I opened up the shears, and as

337
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.839
I did so, the light pulled
back and then shot straight up into the

338
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.279
sky. She lay down and she
slept then, and I tried to wake

339
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.240
her up, but she would not
wake up. The next morning, at

340
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.839
breakfast, I asked her what the
light was in her room the night before,

341
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.119
and she looked at me puzzled for
a minute, and then said what

342
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.799
light. I knew instantly that she
had no memory of it. Over the

343
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.000
years, she has told me of
fairies visiting her in her room wherever she

344
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.880
has lived. It was not until
I was in my late fifties that I

345
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:47.079
realized that she was an abductee.
She has no memory of it, but

346
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.039
they continue to visit her. I
eventually brought it up again, but she

347
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:56.720
insists that the fairies visit her.
My sister is an artist who doesn't put

348
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.200
deep thought into things like this,
so I left it a lot because I

349
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.559
didn't want to upset her. But
I know what I saw. Oh that's

350
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.559
cool. Is it possible. Is
it possible that something from let's say outer

351
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.200
space, assuming it's from outer space, could be from under the ocean.

352
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.759
I don't know where these aliens come
from, but is it possible that they

353
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.119
could visit people, abduct them,
take them away, bring them back,

354
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.920
and they never know what happened.
Those stories kind of give me the creeps,

355
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:33.039
but they really are fascinating, and
there are a lot of documented stories

356
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.119
like this. I just thought it
was interesting. It's a great story.

357
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:45.279
Thank you to the writer for sending
it. Okay, there's a person who

358
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.200
comments on my videos and he's been
asking I think it's a He has been

359
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.119
asking over and over for a dog
man's story, and I don't get many

360
00:26:53.200 --> 00:27:00.119
dog man stories. I even did
a search. I think there's about twenty

361
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:06.839
five hundred emails in my inbox,
probably two thousand of those or encounter stories

362
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.680
people have sent to me. I
did a search for dog man trying to

363
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:14.400
find some dog man stories. And
this is the only one that popped up.

364
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.079
So if you guys have had some
kind of dog man experience, send

365
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.559
it to me. We need some
of those for this channel because people enjoy

366
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.079
them. But anyway, this person, I'm not going to give her name,

367
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:26.960
but here's what she writes. This
is a dog man's story, and

368
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:33.400
it's pretty creepy. In mid August
of two thousand and three, we lived

369
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.839
in a small town in Wexford County, located in the northern lower half of

370
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.799
Michigan. At the time, we
had eight grown ducks and a couple of

371
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.839
dozen hens. We kept them in
a well built coup, but we lost

372
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:52.680
a couple of hens in our rooster
to weasels. Those weasels are nasty critters

373
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.319
and they're known for rating hen houses. But when even more hens began to

374
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:02.440
disappear, we decided that it wasn't
just the weeeze at work. We suspected

375
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:04.839
that our neighbor, he was a
cruel man that we didn't care for,

376
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.039
may have been helping himself to our
birds. And then one morning my husband

377
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.599
came in from feeding the hens before
work and he said, hey, did

378
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.799
you say there was a trapper or
a tracker that lives in Buckley. Yeah,

379
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.200
I said, Will you give him
a call see if he can come

380
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.640
out here. My husband answered in
an abrupt tone that kind of scared me.

381
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.920
I wanted to know why. I
wanted to know what was wrong,

382
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.799
what had he been seeing? Just
call him, he said, And don't

383
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.319
let the kids play in the backyard
was the only answer he gave me That

384
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.960
really frightened me. I got in
touch with the tracker and he came out

385
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.680
a day or so later. By
the un every duck we had was gone,

386
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.359
as we're over half of our hens. The tracker was an older fella

387
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.960
in his late sixties who looked every
inch of the part. It was obvious

388
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.000
that he knew what he was doing. He walked over to the empty duck

389
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.000
pen and studied the ground, and
then searched the area around the chicken coop

390
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.640
with the same precision. Looking up, he gave me a weird look and

391
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:15.920
he said, you might want to
send the kids inside. My children were

392
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.519
two and four back then. My
heart was beginning to jump out of my

393
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.279
chest even before I demanded to know
why what the hell was he seeing?

394
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.680
Please, he answered, with a
gentle smile, Send the kids into the

395
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:33.000
house, he said. The tracker
continued to search the turf around the coop

396
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:38.119
for several more minutes before stopping and
looking up. He focused on a tree

397
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.200
that was a few feet from the
coop, and he said, I thought,

398
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:47.640
so, gotcha. My eyes traced
upwards along the long trunk until I

399
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.680
saw them. There were four huge
claw marks that were slashed into the bark

400
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.839
twenty feet above the ground. The
tracker backed away and continued his search,

401
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.160
this time expanding it to him include
the ground around the tree as well.

402
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.640
A minute later, he called me
over and he pointed to the largest footprint

403
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:11.359
I had ever seen. What made
that? I gasp? Have your husband

404
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.880
call me as soon as he can, was the man's only reply. When

405
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.960
my husband got home that night,
he made the call, and I could

406
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.559
tell by watching his face that the
things the tracker was saying on the other

407
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.960
end were not good. There were
a lot of okay, yeah, are

408
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:33.079
you sure I understand? With each
word my stomach churned a little more.

409
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.880
All right, what's going on?
I asked when he finally hung up the

410
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.759
phone. My husband is part Nate
of American and he gave me a serious

411
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.000
look, and he answered don't let
the kids play in the backyard, and

412
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:49.119
don't be outside after dark. Do
you hear me? Okay, I answered

413
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.640
slowly. But why it's what I
was thinking it was, he said.

414
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:59.039
I didn't want to say anything until
I got confirmation from the tractor. And

415
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.240
you may not believe this, but
he thinks, and I do too,

416
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:07.839
that we're dealing with a dog man, a really big dog man. Well

417
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.359
how do you reply to that?
And I stood there staring at him for

418
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.000
a minute, trying to wrap my
mind around what my husband had just said,

419
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.160
before I finally managed to say,
are you serious? Yes, he

420
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.200
said, my husband is not a
BS kind of guy. Even if he

421
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.680
were, no one would joke about
something involving the safety of their own children.

422
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.880
Well, I believed him, and
for the next few nights we slept

423
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.480
in our front room. My husband
kept a shotgun beside the bed, and

424
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.960
from there we could see the chicken
coop through the big window. On the

425
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.720
third night, we were lying there
half asleep when my husband quietly said,

426
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.039
did you hear that? No,
I answered, honestly, but he was

427
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:55.640
already up and loading the shotgun.
Get the big flashlight ready, he said,

428
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.359
And when I give the signals shine
it on the coop. I did

429
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.960
as I was and I waited,
and my husband went to the back door

430
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:06.680
and he looked at me and he
whispered, go. I turned on the

431
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.599
light and aimed it right at the
coop, and as I did so,

432
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.079
something huge jumped out from the side
of it. It moved so quickly that

433
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.240
I didn't see much more than the
yellowish red eye shine. There was a

434
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.200
good nine feet above the ground,
and I was also able to tell that

435
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:28.519
it was standing on two legs.
My husband was out the door as soon

436
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.319
as the light came on, and
he's a good shot, and I knew

437
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:36.279
that he had hit it. I
could see a dark shadow as it turned

438
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.079
and leaped across the coop, and
with one stride, it vanished into the

439
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:45.200
woods. A few seconds later,
we heard a horrible sound that was somewhere

440
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:51.440
between a shriek and an extremely powerful
howl. We didn't have any more animals

441
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.920
come up missing after that, but
to be safe, we didn't let the

442
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:59.720
kids play in the backyard. I
thought we were done with that entire thing,

443
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.720
and then in September, about a
month later, my husband came home

444
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.000
from work one night and he said, I saw it again. My first

445
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.559
thought was, oh, my god, not again. He was on his

446
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.480
way to work that morning, taking
the back roads as he always did,

447
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.720
when he saw something down in the
ditch beside the road. He slowed down,

448
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.039
thinking it might be a deer or
a bear that could jump out in

449
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.359
the road. But it wasn't.
What it was. A massive creature rose

450
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.240
up and crossed the road from one
side to the other in two strides,

451
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:36.720
and it looked straight at my husband
and then it was gone. He said

452
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.480
it was at least seven feet tall, and then it walked on two legs,

453
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.480
and he said it had the face
of a dog. Oh, man,

454
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:51.720
can you imagine anything more horrifying than
that? Do these things? I

455
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.920
don't know much about dog men,
but are they known for attacking people?

456
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:00.319
It's like, do they prey on
people? It sounds like a werewolf to

457
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.599
me, But I know there's a
difference between dogmen and werewolf. Were Wolves

458
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:10.079
change from humans to wolves and back
to humans, and dog men are supposedly

459
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.320
just dog men. That's what I
hear from everybody when I ask that question.

460
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:20.559
But are they predators on humans?
I don't know. Just seeing one

461
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.519
of these things seems scary. To
me, it's a great story. To

462
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.440
the writer, I really appreciate you
sending it. And again, that's my

463
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.679
only dog Man story that I could
find. There may be more in there,

464
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.599
but if I do a search in
Google that says dog man dogm a

465
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:39.280
N it should pop up in my
search. If that word is anywhere in

466
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.760
the email, A few of them
pop up, but they're not stories,

467
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.519
they're something else. They're like,
hey, look at this video of the

468
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.360
dog man or whatever. Anyway,
there's a great story. Thank you man

469
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.400
for sending it. Let's see.
I think this podcast is scheduled to go

470
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:02.840
out Thursday afternoon, and I've decided
on the spur of the moment to go

471
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:07.400
to Land between the Lakes. The
Sawdust Beast crew is having a meet and

472
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.320
greet camp out this weekend. I
was going to take my wife. I

473
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.119
was going to hook up our travel
trailer and go up there so she can

474
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.880
meet everybody, but she just kind
of wants to hang out here by herself.

475
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:22.599
I think she wants to get rid
of me, which is fine with

476
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.960
me. I'm going to go up
there by myself and just tent camp.

477
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:30.440
So as you're listening to this,
I'm probably setting up my tent right now.

478
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.760
And if you live close to LBL, I don't know exactly the name

479
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.360
of the campground. I know how
to get there, but I don't know

480
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:39.800
the name of it. Check the
Sawdust Beast facebook page. I'm sure they've

481
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.760
talked about it on their Facebook page
about where it is, when it is

482
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:49.000
and all. But I think it
starts Friday morning. I'm just going a

483
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.840
little early because my wife wants to
get rid of me, and I'm going

484
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.519
to oblige her. I'm out there
at LBL with all the dog men and

485
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.119
the boogers. All right, Thank
y'all for listening to this podcast, and

486
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:00.719
we'll see on the next one.
Thanks
