1
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,320
We had given John and Ashton time
to get geared up and ready, and

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,880
into the woods we went. We
quickly made it to the water, and

3
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:19,359
Henry went on and told us where
he had sat and reminisced about the memories

4
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:22,960
he and his boys had shared there. We couldn't stay long, of course,

5
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:26,320
whatever it was that Howell didn't seem
too far away from our house.

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,239
Have you guys ever thought about setting
up camp here and staying over night,

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,320
Henry asked. My boys and I
did that often. We would lay out

8
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:38,759
under the stars, roast marshmallows and
just talk. I think I missed those

9
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,719
moments most of all. I don't
know if I would feel comfortable sitting up

10
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,640
camp and staying out here all night, especially after our run in with the

11
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:52,679
big Foot and the rock escapade recently, not to mention large snarling, oversized

12
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:56,759
dog men. From the look on
everyone's face, they shared my opinion,

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:00,560
you are braver than I am.
John said, no way would catch me

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,799
out here in the overnight hours.
Henry laughed at that. I had a

15
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:08,200
suspicion that he had experienced many things
in his life, most of which wouldn't

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,879
go over very well with any of
us In his time, I'm sure things

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,879
were significantly different. We took Henry
around everywhere that we had been. He

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,200
showed us exactly where he and his
sons were at when they had their encounter.

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,840
I don't know what I would have
done. Had I been in his

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,760
position, I probably would have left
the deer and high tailed it out of

21
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:30,719
there. But I wasn't in his
shoes, so I couldn't speak on that.

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,760
I wouldn't be opposed to doing something
like that, However, I don't

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,640
think my wife would be too keen
on the idea. What we experienced the

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,599
other night was terrifying that I'll admit, but it would give us more insight

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,519
on their habits. At night,
Ashton spoke up. Connie looked at him

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,879
like he had five heads. You
gotta be kidding me, you would stay

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
out here. I couldn't disagree with
what he said, but from what I'd

28
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:57,319
heard on the encounters I had listened
to, most researchers came up with nothing

29
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:01,480
if they went out with the intent
to find something. Generally, the encounters

30
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:06,840
happened to unsuspecting individuals who only had
planned to go out camping and stargazing,

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:10,680
some just driving down the road.
Not by someone setting up a base camp

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,879
and really trying to get to the
heart of what's going on. Even if

33
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,199
I wanted to, not that I
do, mind you, but you guys

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,800
know good and well Marie would never
let me stay out here either. I

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800
would almost have to be like a
teenager and sneak out after she went to

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,439
sleep. John snickered. Connie shot
a sharp glance my way. Don't even

37
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:32,840
think about it, she said sternly. Just then another howl rang out through

38
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,919
the trees. We were all frozen
where we stood. Henry let out a

39
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,919
loud, melodic whistle. The noises
around us fell silent. We all stood

40
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,639
there, waiting for something to explode
from the trees, but of course nothing

41
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,240
did. Henry smiled at us and
wainked. I knew that didn't mean anything

42
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000
in reality, but if that's what
he wanted to believe, that's fine.

43
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:58,960
I'm not going to be the one
to burst his bubble. We walked along,

44
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:01,360
looking at everything. Henry took us
on a different route. However,

45
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,479
we had never been this way,
and I was kicking myself for not knowing

46
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520
that this land is also a part
of mine and Connie's property. It was

47
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,000
unlike any other portion that we had
been through. I looked at John,

48
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:15,120
and he just returned a shrug of
his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know

49
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:20,879
either. I was more determined than
ever now just looking at the expansive woods

50
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,240
in front of us. Maybe the
land closest to our house was only the

51
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,000
outskirts of where both of these cryptids
actually live. So if you go along

52
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,520
here, Henry said, as he
pointed straight ahead, there's another creek bed.

53
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,159
It's a lot shallower than the first
one by y'all's place, but it's

54
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,039
nice just the same. Probably about
a month after we saw this thing,

55
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:44,159
I came walking back here and found
me a footprint. I didn't have anyone

56
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:46,280
to share it with. Back then, only my boys would believe me.

57
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,639
Everybody else just said I was living
up to my quirky nature and dismiss it

58
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,759
before I even finished the sentence.
But this was a weird one. This

59
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,400
one was shaped like a dog.
I even said wolf back then, mainly

60
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:02,680
because of the sheer size of it. I also found a huge wolf print,

61
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:08,319
Henry Ashton said, But this wasn't
a regular sized wolf. Though Henry

62
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680
cackled and slapped his knee, you're
right, about that boy. This isn't

63
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,639
a wolf at all. This was
from one of those hellhounds. I just

64
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,040
didn't know that at the time.
I'd only seen that one Bigfoot. I

65
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,720
started thinking to myself that we needed
to buy at least another dozen cameras,

66
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,480
if not more, to put all
the way out here. There are so

67
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,439
many ways they could travel to and
from here, and we don't even know

68
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,519
how many there are. If I
remember correctly what John told me, Bigfoot

69
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,879
half family units and based on dogs
and wolves themselves, these dog men should

70
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,800
also be the same and travel in
packs. We all stopped and took a

71
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,639
break. Once we reached the creek. Henry was telling us about how far

72
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,759
back exactly does our property go.
Henry, I never knew it came back

73
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:53,399
this far. If this truly is
ours, we got more for our money

74
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:56,040
than I thought, I said,
as I sat down on a large rock

75
00:04:56,079 --> 00:05:00,319
by the water. Ashton walked over
and sit down. I have a fashion

76
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,839
to make. I knew all this
was back here. This is pretty much

77
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,399
where your land stops, just a
little further past the creek. That is.

78
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,399
I just wanted to get our family
away from here, so I only

79
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,079
set the price for what We paid
for the house just to get out from

80
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,040
Andred. Henry laughed, that's why
you've got such a good price. Boy,

81
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,839
I did the same thing, except
you got an even better deal than

82
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,519
Old Mark did. Yeah, we
borrowed more than the price of the house

83
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,720
because we wanted to do restorations and
stuff. Ashton went on. I didn't

84
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,480
know at the time that I was
buying the zoo from hell and that none

85
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,639
of the restorations would get done before
we had to move on. We sat

86
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,879
listening to all the sounds around us
and the water run across the rocks.

87
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,279
This area really wouldn't be too bad
for camping. It was cleared out,

88
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:46,519
with enough room for a tent and
then space left over for a camp fire.

89
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,399
It would be peaceful just to hang
out here. I left, more

90
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:56,360
determined than ever to make our whole
property safe and usable. Suddenly all the

91
00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,519
noises stopped. The only thing that
could be heard were the breath that each

92
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,920
of us took and the water in
the creek laser focused. We all looked

93
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,120
around to see if there was any
type of movement. Low chuffs were coming

94
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,079
from somewhere in the woods, indicating
that something knew that we were there.

95
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,319
We were all standing now, John, myself, and Connie drew our weapons

96
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,000
that could be coming from either one
of these creatures. Henry whispered, be

97
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,959
ready. Cautiously, we turned and
started walking back, but we weren't alone.

98
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:30,759
Something was pacing us just inside the
woods. We all heard it.

99
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,480
Henry broke the silence with another whistle. I cut my eyes at him.

100
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,560
My adrenaline was pumping through my veins, and my patience was wearing thin.

101
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,240
I couldn't handle this half cocked idea
that a simple whistle would bring us protection

102
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,279
and we could all skip merrily out
of the forest. Henry lowered his head,

103
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,319
sensing my irritation. I almost felt
bad, But before I had a

104
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:56,000
chance to the growls came, one
from beside us and one from directly behind

105
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,720
us. We quickly picked up our
pace, being sure not to run.

106
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:03,480
That would be the worst thing that
we could do. I didn't realize just

107
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,600
how far we had come in getting
back out was taking longer than it should

108
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,920
have. Then my worst fear crept
in. We're lost. I don't think

109
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:15,480
this is the right way, guys, I said. It didn't take us

110
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,759
this long to get to the creek. We all stopped and looked around.

111
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Henry walked a little way ahead of
us. We walked the same way that

112
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:27,360
we came in. We should be
fine to go on ahead. It's a

113
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,560
straight shot out of here. I
was hot and tired. I was mostly

114
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040
tired of dealing with the bullshit going
on and just wanted things to be normal.

115
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,680
I was losing my cool and I
felt it. But this was different.

116
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:43,199
Yes, I was all the aforementioned
things. However, the anger I

117
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,079
felt building inside of me wasn't normal. I'd never felt this way before.

118
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:50,360
Hey, guys, wait up,
I said. I know we don't have

119
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,319
time to talk about this, but
it's important. Do any of you feel

120
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,439
angry or confused, or maybe a
little disoriented? They all looked at me

121
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,439
strangely. Maybe this was all me
and it was just the heat getting to

122
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:07,040
me. Connie, do you remember
the first time we came to the water

123
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,399
and I felt something strange when I
pulled my gun. I asked you about

124
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,480
it once we got back to the
house. Connie thought for a minute,

125
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:16,560
Yes, I do. You said
you felt like that if you shot your

126
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,519
gun you would regret it. Okay, same way this time, But I'm

127
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,959
so angry I could bend steal with
my bare hands, and I don't know

128
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,399
why John walked over and put his
hand on my shoulder. You could be

129
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,759
picking up the energy from these dog
men. Maybe you're sensitive to them.

130
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,320
It would prove to be useful.
Though. If that were true, we

131
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,240
could tell when they were around.
I felt as silly as Henry with a

132
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,879
supposed whistling. What a dynamic duo
we would be in the woods. This

133
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,679
is all preposterous, Henry the whistler
and me the hulk. So you guys

134
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,679
really don't feel anything at all?
They all shook their heads. No,

135
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,480
I was afraid of that. The
only thing to do now is to keep

136
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,320
going in hopes that they would leave
us alone. Heard them growl anymore,

137
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,759
so I could only assume that we
were moving out of what they claimed as

138
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,759
their territory. Henry turned out to
be right after all. Not long afterwards

139
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,360
we reached the first creek and the
clearing where I had shot the wretched beast,

140
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,159
that of which still needed an answer. Did these things really come from

141
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,679
another dimension? Did they hold certain
powers to be able to restore themselves?

142
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,480
Or do they bury their dead?
And the one that I shot was laid

143
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,399
to rest somewhere away from here.
None of these answers would be a surprise

144
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720
to me. At this point,
we have to do something, Connie said.

145
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,240
We can come out here a hundred
times, but the results are always

146
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,480
the same. The definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over and over

147
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:46,000
and expecting a different result. Nothing
will be accomplished at this rate. Henry,

148
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,200
you said, let's chase them out
of here, and that's what I

149
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,039
intend on doing. I know that
you say that we ourselves can't get rid

150
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,879
of them, but I'm tired of
spending my wheels here. Henry walked over

151
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,559
to where Connie stood. I agree
with you, a little lady. Spending

152
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,279
our wheel won't help you and your
friends and your family. I told you

153
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,840
that only Bigfoot can get rid of
them, and that's partly true, but

154
00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,399
I don't think that's the only way. In fact, I know that's not

155
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,759
the only way. We all looked
at Henry in confusion. Does he know

156
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,480
secrets that he hasn't told us?
Clearly he knew more than he was letting

157
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,399
on. And it was high time
that we got to the bottom of this.

158
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:24,679
Winter would be coming soon, and
this is not something we can afford

159
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,600
to be dealing with. Then Connie
and I would have to be able to

160
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,720
hunt from meat and sustain ourselves for
the colder months. We did have some

161
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,799
animals, but I would sure love
some dear meat to go along with those.

162
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,559
So cut to the chase, Henry, I know we just met you,

163
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,519
but you know there's more that you're
not telling us. We need to

164
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,480
know what's really going on here,
all of it, I said sternly.

165
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,879
I felt myself getting angrier than ever
out of nowhere. My blood started boiling.

166
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,039
Then a growl came from the distance. Why is this happening to me?

167
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,679
Every time the dog men get close? It hadn't happened at all until

168
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Henry was around. I didn't feel
this one I shot that one, or

169
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,879
in the cornfield. All I felt
was fear. But now everyone could see

170
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,559
it. Henry looked at me and
then at the ground. He knew he

171
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,000
knew exactly what was happening, and
it was time to find out the truth

172
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,399
of why. After we made it
back to our house, we all sat

173
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,720
around the kitchen table, eyeing Henry. I had calmed down and I was

174
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,639
ready to learn what was going on
here. After my boys and I had

175
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:30,840
that run in with the big Foot, I set out to learn everything I

176
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,440
could about them. I went into
the library and checked out every book I

177
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,840
could get my hands on. I
read countless books. It seemed. I

178
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,200
wasn't ever into the internet. Books
have always been my go to anyway.

179
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480
I met a man who noticed my
pattern at the library, and eventually he

180
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:48,759
came up and asked me about it. He said that he had witnessed one

181
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,840
himself and went on to tell me
about his encounter. That's when I learned

182
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,000
about the dog man as well.
He said that if you have a big

183
00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:00,799
foot on your property, then no
doubt you also have dog man. They

184
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,080
go hand in hand, Henry said, John shifted in his chair. Yeah,

185
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,399
I read the same thing when I
was doing my research, and I

186
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,279
heard a lot about it listening to
those encounter shows. It's like they lived

187
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:16,840
together or something exactly. Henry went
on. He told me that there was

188
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:18,679
a way to keep them all away, but it would be a little risky.

189
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,399
At that point, I was willing
to do anything. I wanted to

190
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,360
protect my wife and I wanted to
have time back with my boys in the

191
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,919
woods. Armed with that knowledge,
I went into the woods and did what

192
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,240
the man said. It was something
I grew to regret. However, I

193
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,279
could only assume that what Henry did
was probably an act of evil. Unbeknownst

194
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:41,399
to him at the time, this
was turning into a real life nightmare.

195
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:48,159
A blood sacrifice was necessary. I
did what I had to do, a

196
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,240
fire, blood and a couple of
incantations. I wanted my family to be

197
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,600
safe. But that man lied to
me. I found that print that I

198
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:01,559
told you about shortly after I did
all those things. It turned out the

199
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,639
man that i'd met didn't live far
from here. He was obviously having more

200
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,840
problems than we were. That awful
deed had been done, though I was

201
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:13,480
stuck. The ritual was actually to
call them in. He knew that if

202
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,200
he could convince me to do that, it would take them off of his

203
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:22,679
property and put them here in these
woods. Connie gasped, Is there some

204
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,799
way that you can take it back? Though, like a reversal ceremony or

205
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,919
something. I'm not saying I want
that on our property because it's pure evil,

206
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240
But is it a possibility to do
so so these things go away?

207
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:37,360
Before he had a chance to answer, Connie, I interjected with the question

208
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,919
to my own, a question that
I desperately needed an answer to why do

209
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480
I get so angry when these things
are around? Henry. It didn't happen

210
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:46,960
in the past when John and I
had our run ins, or even when

211
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,279
I shot one in the face,
which is something else I need to ask

212
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,039
you about. But the little time
that you've been around us in these woods,

213
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,879
I got so angry when they're around. That is a part of it,

214
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,480
boy, don't you see, he
said, visibly agitated. As part

215
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,879
of the whole incantation, I threw
that bid in there. Whoever was around

216
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:09,799
me at the time in the woods
would have plenty of warning if they came

217
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,919
around. I knew I wouldn't be
around anyone but my boys, and I

218
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,440
wanted to make sure that they were
protected, just in case. I was

219
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:20,279
trying to plan ahead. Once that
was done, though, as I said,

220
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,080
it brought them here. Instead of
protecting us from them, That dirty

221
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,679
bastard made it impossible for us to
stay. It became more dangerous over time.

222
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,240
It changed our whole way of life. My boys went away to college,

223
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,039
and I knew that my wife and
I would have to leave. I

224
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,639
sold this place dirt cheap. I
thought that at the time whatever was here

225
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,600
would stay in the woods because I
wasn't there to bring them out. That's

226
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,679
why they can't break the wood line, John exclaimed loudly. Henry, You're

227
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,279
the key to this whole thing.
It was all starting to make sense,

228
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,159
well as much sense as it could
make. They couldn't leave the woodline because

229
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,159
Henry wasn't there. That one did
that shot, because it was obviously something

230
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:05,759
more sinistered that a spell could not
contain. That still left the question with

231
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:11,080
the Bigfoot. Are the big Foot
still controlling these beasts somehow? Because that

232
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,039
night Connie and I were on the
back deck and that dog man reached our

233
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:18,679
property. The big Foot yelled and
it retreated back into the woods. But

234
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:22,480
why me, why nobody else in
the group, I asked. I would

235
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,720
think that whoever was around you would
feel the anger that the dog man put

236
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:28,919
off. Henry stood up and started
pacing. Honest to goodness, Bud,

237
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,679
I don't have the slightest idea.
I can only assume that it's because you're

238
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,320
the man of the house. You
in a sense on the property, and

239
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,919
that makes you own everything, not
just the land. When y'all moved here,

240
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,480
you took on the role that my
boys and I were supposed to have.

241
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,440
I had made that incantation fool proof
for my sons. At the time,

242
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,039
I was planning for the future here. We hadn't planned on moving,

243
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,200
and once my wife and I had
passed on, this would be theirs.

244
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,679
You took that place, which means
you don't feel any of the unless I'm

245
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,480
around. They are my heirs,
so it would have passed on naturally to

246
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,399
them, But with you, I
have to be here. Ashton had been

247
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,720
quiet during all of this. I
felt bad for him, but I was

248
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,080
glad that it was me dealing with
this and not him. He was young,

249
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:18,679
I'd probably a good twenty years on
him. There was no way that

250
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,000
he and his family would have been
able to handle all of this. It

251
00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:23,240
was a lot for me to deal
with us well, but I think I

252
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,759
have a firmer grip on it than
he would. His goal would be to

253
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:32,639
protect his family. My goal is
Connie and myself. That's enough. I

254
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:36,639
don't know how I would react with
my wife plus two small children. He

255
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,399
made the right choice by selling.
So how do we break this, Henry?

256
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,159
How can we make this go away? Connie asked. Henry set back

257
00:16:44,159 --> 00:16:47,279
down and put his head in his
hands. There's only one way, and

258
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,039
it's not something I thought I would
ever have to do. It's something I

259
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,279
didn't want to have to do because
of this dishonest man. The only way

260
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:00,240
to break the sacrifice I made is
with a sacrifice in return. What does

261
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:04,359
that mean? A sacrifice in return? A sacrifice of what John asked concerned?

262
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,000
The sacrifice to break this is me, Henry said, with tears in

263
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,440
his eyes, to put everything back
the way that it was, it needs

264
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,319
to be me to sacrifice myself.
I never thought that it would come down

265
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:23,319
to this. It wasn't supposed to. I made that blood oath on false

266
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,000
pretenses. The way this was supposed
to go is I would pass this on

267
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:32,039
to my sons, the protection,
not the curse. I didn't know that

268
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:34,720
it was all based on a lie
until it was too late. I'm glad

269
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:38,279
that we all moved away from this
place. Now they don't have to carry

270
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:42,039
this. They're not ever coming back
here, so this won't affect them.

271
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,000
It's affecting me, though, Henry, I yelled. Now I have to

272
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,880
carry this. We have to deal
with this on what is now our land.

273
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:53,920
You can leave here anytime you want, but we still have to deal

274
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,720
with these dog men in Bigfoot,
whether you're here or not. And what's

275
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,480
the deal with these Bigfoot? Why
are they here? Well, as you

276
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:06,559
already know, they were here first. I'm sure they were here even before

277
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:10,079
we bought the house. When we
encountered what I know to be dog man,

278
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:14,079
that's when the Bigfoot whistled and called
them off. I believe maybe the

279
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,559
dog men were trickling in, but
they were able to hold them at bay,

280
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,480
that is until I did what I
did. Ashton spoke up. He

281
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:25,960
had been taking in all this information
and processing it the best way that he

282
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:29,759
knew. How there has to be
another way, though, Henry, if

283
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:33,920
you made a sacrifice on false pretenses, couldn't you undo it in another way?

284
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:37,559
Not in the traditional sense? Ashton
asked. Henry was silent. We

285
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,200
all were. How was this even
reality? I had taken a lot Bigfoot

286
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,000
throwing boulders at our heads, dog
men trying to eat us, not being

287
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:51,759
able to enjoy our property. The
list was long, and it seemed to

288
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:56,119
grow every day. Now you throw
in a cooky old man who supposedly did

289
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,519
an incantation in the woods, it
all sounds too fantastic, called to be

290
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:04,200
real. But the fact of the
matter is this is happening. This isn't

291
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,640
a dream. We are all part
of it. Now, let's do some

292
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,519
research on this before we do anything, crist John said, we have more

293
00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,960
options than just books at our disposal. Now. There are a lot of

294
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,839
people who are experiencing this, and
it wasn't brought to them by some ritual

295
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,240
done in the woods. I promise
you, Henry. You may have been

296
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:26,799
the one to bring them here,
but you didn't infest the world with them.

297
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,000
There has to be something out there
that we can find, maybe even

298
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,839
the ritual that you did, and
how to reverse it. Henry looked up

299
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,119
at us and smiled with this crooked
smile. I knew it came from a

300
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,839
good place. I also knew that
he was in a rough spot and carrying

301
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,519
more than I think I could handle. Imagine having the weight of protecting your

302
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,880
family, strangers, and everything out
here on your shoulders. I think I

303
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,599
too would be a little off my
rocker at that point. But now we

304
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,559
have the full story of what's happening. Now came the hard part of putting

305
00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:02,759
everything back together the way that it
was. However, that is Kannie and

306
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:06,079
I had offered for Henry to stay
the night. He went on to tell

307
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,599
us that his wife had passed away
some years before, and that he had

308
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,920
not talked to either of his sons
in quite a while. They graduated college

309
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,960
and have lives of their own and
don't want any part of what they left

310
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:22,000
behind That also included Henry. It
made me wonder if maybe he had told

311
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,559
them what he had done, even
though it had been for their protection.

312
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:29,920
Maybe they just wanted to be completely
separated from that. I can't say that

313
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,680
I blame them. I did hate
it for Henry, though, to go

314
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:37,920
through everything he had gone through and
to end up completely alone had to be

315
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,440
the worst part of it for him. I'm sure I couldn't say that even

316
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,519
if we figured out how to break
this spell or whatever he had done and

317
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,559
send the dog men away would repair
whatever had been broken between he and his

318
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,119
sons. But at least it would
lessen the weight that he had been carrying

319
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,960
for all these years. Later that
night, Kannie and I were laying in

320
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,839
bed talking about everything. At one
point we even broke out into laugh,

321
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:03,160
not believing that everything we had been
going through and everything that we had heard

322
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,519
could be true. We knew it
was tough, and in our living room

323
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,440
lay a lonely, broken man who
had no one left but us. John

324
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,920
called me the next morning. He
had done some research on our property and

325
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,680
was eager to tell us about it. Okay, so get this, John

326
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,720
began excitedly. The property attached to
yours used to be owned by Otis P.

327
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:30,319
Welding. That was the man that
conned Henry. According to these documents,

328
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:33,039
he would be in his seventies now. I was certainly excited about that,

329
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,880
because that means he might still be
alive. Maybe he can help us

330
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,599
with Henry. And what happened all
those years ago? Does it say where

331
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,519
he's at? John, Is he
still alive? I could hear him pecking

332
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:49,000
on his keyboard? Yeah, says
he's at some retirement home. The land

333
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:52,000
went up for auction once his kids
moved him to where he is now,

334
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,319
but no one was interested in it, so the county took it over.

335
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,240
It doesn't list much about his land, but I think we all know why

336
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
nobody wanted it. It was probably
wrapped in so much lower and evil that

337
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,839
no one with half a brain would
take that on. So that's probably why

338
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,799
his kids auctioned it off. Are
you up for a road trip, John,

339
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,839
I asked, with a smile on
my face. He's going to be

340
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,839
our best option. We can bring
Henry too. It took quite a bit

341
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,039
of convincing for Henry to finally agree
to go with John and I to see

342
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:25,720
Otis. I knew that he was
still carrying anger and malice for him,

343
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,799
but I assured Henry that John and
I would be there the whole time,

344
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:30,759
and that Otis may hold the answer
of how to get us out of this

345
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:36,839
situation without him having to sacrifice himself
in the process. We loaded up and

346
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,880
we were off to Shady Lake's retirement
home. It was about an hour's drive

347
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,160
from our place, so we had
plenty of time to talk. On the

348
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,079
way. Henry told us that he
didn't know too much about Otis. They

349
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,079
weren't really friends per se. Acquaintances
would be the best word for it.

350
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,079
I can't say that I would want
to be friends with someone who completely screwed

351
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,200
me over either. At best,
maybe pleasantries exchanged when in public. I

352
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,839
saw Otis's kid shortly before my wife
and I moved. They were always nice

353
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,880
to me. I often wondered if
they knew what happened. Since they grew

354
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,759
up there, they had to have
known that the dog men were there as

355
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,880
well. He probably told him that
he got rid of them. I guess

356
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,160
in a sense he did, But
he did that lying to me and making

357
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,680
me take the burden to carry instead. I started wondering if coming here was

358
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,640
a good idea. After all?
What if he sees Otis and charges him.

359
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,400
That would be a headache and a
half that would get us nowhere in

360
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,200
this vicious cycle that we were in. Now, Henry, when we get

361
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,799
there, you need to behave yourself. I know this man has done a

362
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,920
lot of wrongdoing, and he's cost
you a lot of pain in your life.

363
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,759
But to help you, we need
to see if he can tell us

364
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:49,559
how to reverse this without you having
to sacrifice your own life. He remained

365
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,519
quiet, but I knew that he
understood. I stared out the window and

366
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,640
wondered how Henry's life would have been
had he not did what he did.

367
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,640
He and his wife living out there
moment together on earth, knowing that their

368
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:06,759
sons were taking care of, peaceful
and happy. I could understand why there

369
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:11,200
would be so much angst now Henry
was alone. But it didn't have to

370
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,359
be that way. We pulled up
at the Shady Lake's retirement home about twenty

371
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,559
minutes later. I once again reiterated
to him that he needed to tuck all

372
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:22,839
those feelings away, at least for
the time being. If he wanted revenge,

373
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,079
then get the revenge by reversing the
curse. He nodded in agreement,

374
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,000
and we went in. Yes,
we're here to see Otis p welding,

375
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,680
I said to the lady at the
front desk. She met eyes with me.

376
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,079
Not many visitors for him these days. I'm glad that he finally has

377
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,279
some company. He's in his room
one to eleven. That's just down the

378
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:48,200
hallway here and to the right.
I thanked her and we started walking.

379
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,519
I didn't know which was worse,
being in Henry's position or shoved in this

380
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,039
box to live out your final days
forgotten about. In a sense, they're

381
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,839
both living the same ending. They
were both alone. The only difference is

382
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,400
that Otis isn't covered by a blood
curse, so that made Henry's case a

383
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,160
little worse. We walked down the
sterile hallway. They had many different events

384
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,079
taped to the walls for the residents
to participate in. To bring at least

385
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,519
some joy to their lives, but
it was still an empty feeling all the

386
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:21,440
same. We turned the corner and
found Otis's room. Just what the lady

387
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,720
had said. When we walked in, we found who we could only presume

388
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:27,640
to be Otis, sitting in a
wheelchair, facing the window, with his

389
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:33,400
back to us. I cleared my
throat to gain his attention without startling him.

390
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,960
Mister welding, Otis slowly turned from
the window to face us. He

391
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:41,200
met eyes with Henry and a scowl
covered his face. You felt, the

392
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:48,279
bastard, you ruined my life,
Henry said. They say you don't gotta

393
00:25:48,480 --> 00:26:26,880
go home, but you cast up
trying to try that chime everything. Call

394
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:33,319
it right back, ride back my
joy for me joy, stay right now,

395
00:26:34,400 --> 00:27:30,759
call it right away. Dass says
about bout book about talking about the

396
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:48,279
games and visas uses us and use
us uses
