00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,560
Tonight's guest is Mike Edwards. Mike, welcome to the show. Well,

2
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:34,680
thank you, Vick. Well you're
welcome, sir, thank you for your

3
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:42,120
time. Mike, please give us
a brief bio on yourself. Sixty one

4
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:47,239
years old, retired Air Force.
Two sons, Mary, live in South

5
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Louisiana and Croley, Louisiana. Worked
here for years and years and enjoyed to

6
00:01:53,319 --> 00:02:00,560
buy you and studied to buy you
until this happens, so I'm still here.

7
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Well, I can understand why an
experience like the one you had would

8
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,719
change your mind about wanting to go
out and study the buy you. I

9
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,039
totally get it. And by the
way, thank you so much for your

10
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:16,560
service to our country. I really
appreciate it. Well, you're very welcome,

11
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:22,439
Vic. It's all worth it.
You're a good man. One thing

12
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,120
in your past that you didn't mention
is the fact that you were a dog

13
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,719
catcher for years. What would you
say was the meanest dog you ever had

14
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:35,280
to catch? Your deal with one
hundred and fifty pound pitbull who has chained

15
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,319
to a trailer at a man's car
lot. His name was Duke, and

16
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,400
he got tired of Duke, and
I had to come and get him.

17
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,479
Found out he weighed more than one
hundred and fifty pounds. He must have

18
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,120
weighed one hundred and seventy five easy, big whoofer, and I had to

19
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,159
get him off his chain, put
him in the dead gum truck without him

20
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,360
biting my honey up. As soon
as I closed the cage, he went

21
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:04,479
ballistic. So I was lucky.
I've been bit by female pitbull protecting their

22
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,919
puppies. I gotta tell you what
if you saw my arms, you believe

23
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,240
I got scars. It looked like
I tell people it's welding burns, but

24
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:20,039
they're they're dog butts. And yeah, so it's pretty fair. When being

25
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,680
a dog catcher. I'm gonna look
here, you're gonna give a bit,

26
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,840
You're gonna get scratch some so fas. Yeah, I'd say it has to

27
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,280
be inevitable. Don't know how you
do it, especially going up against a

28
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,800
dog like that. That is tough. From what I understand, there's a

29
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:39,680
ranch in your eree. This had
dog me unrelated problems. What can you

30
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:46,439
tell us about that? That is
the old Ziegler Plant Nursery, Crowley,

31
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,719
Louisiana. If y'all look on your
maps and find Crowle, Lousiana. There's

32
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,039
a railroad track that goes right in
between the town. I live on the

33
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,080
south, the north sides over there. If you go west on that railroad

34
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,319
track, straight down those rails,
the Ziegler Nursery ranch is right there next

35
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,000
to the rails. It's about a
couple of miles out of town. It's

36
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:14,000
almost if you jump. I had
my actual encounter on a train bridge adjacent

37
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,759
to that, but out in the
Bayou and the Ziegler Plant Nursery. The

38
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Zieglers, she told me she wrote
her story and ghosts along the Bayou,

39
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:29,680
so you can look for that.
But this uh plant nursery. Two dogmen

40
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,079
jumped down out of a tree.
When the Zieglers are coming back from eating

41
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,079
supper in Lafayette, they went to
a seafood. They came back and they

42
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,920
jumped down out of a tree,
and that scared the credit at him.

43
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:44,920
Then a couple of days later,
these dog men jumped over the fence.

44
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:48,399
And we're talking a big fence.
I've seen the fence. And the children

45
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:55,360
were so terrified. They're on top
of the car screaming, and they came

46
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:59,720
on the property. Two dog men. One of them pooped on the porch

47
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,600
and the wildlife people eventually they had
a gun because they carry guns, you

48
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:08,199
know, and they scared them off. But the wildlife people say, we've

49
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,600
never seen the ascremen, the footprints
or the hair that it left. So

50
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,519
that's factual. Yeah, the zieglers, ye, for sure. She said

51
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,959
it's the ancient Indian burial ground and
she thinks there might be a connection because

52
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
her house was haunted. She said
she her chairs move and dishes fallen,

53
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,800
and they have rosary crosses on the
wall and they were spending it on occasion.

54
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,759
But she said a priest would not
come back to the house. He

55
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:42,800
tried to exercise as the house and
he didn't come back. So that's all

56
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,959
a ghosts along to buy you.
Yep, I've been there now. It's

57
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,399
got a veterinarian that I know,
doctor Artall, who lives there, and

58
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,839
I told him the story. I
told him you. He said, I

59
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:56,680
don't mind the haunting, you know, he's a doctor. They don't bug

60
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:00,199
me none, but the dog men, now what you're talking about. He

61
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,759
didn't like it. None. Can't
say I blame them. It's bad enough.

62
00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:08,199
They're gonna hang around and frighten that
couple. The way they did,

63
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,399
but the poop on the porch,
yeah, that takes it too far.

64
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,240
That's too far. And seeing the
tracks of the poop, and we don't

65
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,959
have it in our charts. This
is in two thousand and nine. I

66
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,079
think they're pretty hip by now.
I mean most of them I talk to

67
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:28,560
say. It's not a coming occurrence, so these things stay well hit in

68
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,439
the values. They got a valuers
right there and her husband died. I

69
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:35,879
called her, she said, yep, it's all true. I said,

70
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,800
there must be something that's proper.
They won't or need. But I got

71
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,240
a gun in every room, so
you can call me before you come over.

72
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,759
So I called her, you know, and it's a pretty big d

73
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,360
Then I ran taker of the land, who mowed the grass and all that,

74
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480
in a barber shop and he said, yeah, the house is on

75
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,399
it. I want to get a
drink and everything started moving and I just

76
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:05,120
threw my water and rano. So
there you go, hundred houses and doge.

77
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Man, that's a good matchion old
South Louisiana. You know the lore

78
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:15,600
here, witchcraft, magie, voodoo, god knows what else. Yeah,

79
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,560
you've got your pick of spooky things
going on down there. No doubt about

80
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,800
that your encounter happened while you're hunting. Please tell us more about your outdoorsment

81
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:30,560
credentials. Well, sure, vic, I lived in Louisiana for twenty five

82
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,360
years from Texas, and I had
to go to the library and did all

83
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:35,040
my research, and I had to
learn all the maps. I went to

84
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:41,360
school on the maps in Louisiana.
So there's fishing and hunting and hiking and

85
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:46,680
biking and getting lost and old relicts. There's so many old mansions here melod

86
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,519
detecting. You soon know where I'm
leading because there's some places you can go

87
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,279
and you'll find I found several war
bullets, you know, fishing and hunting

88
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,519
and woodsmanship and cooking out no words, and it's just right up. This

89
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,399
place is nothing but Cajun lifestyle French
Acadians, and they know how to live

90
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,800
in the bayou. I guarantee it's
really fun. I'm sixty one, so

91
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,199
I've been doing it since i was
seven, but I've only lived in Louisianna

92
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:18,360
twenty five years. But then you
can't not have something to do here.

93
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,120
Yeah, you've been doing it a
long time, pretty long time. I

94
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:30,560
know. I can stand quietly in
a buyou setting and listen to you know,

95
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,120
the birds will tell you something,
the squirrel, even the skeeters,

96
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,720
and so it takes time. If
you can stand here, look here,

97
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:43,159
I'll tell you what Louisiana buy you. At night, when the sun's going

98
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,039
down and it's orange, that's when
all the snakes come out and every critter

99
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,840
and God knows what else. So
you have to be a man to be

100
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,720
out of the buy you like that
at night. It's something I wouldn't wish

101
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,120
on people, because you should get
out. You see what I mean.

102
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,279
You might become bait for something else
that wouldn't be good. No, no,

103
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,759
not at all. You weren't alone
when that encounter happened. He actually

104
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,679
had a good friend with you.
Please tell us about him. Hunter Bone,

105
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,960
my German shepherd. I bought him
for twenty bucks at the pet store

106
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,159
here in crowded Louisiana. He was
out of two of me, and he

107
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,399
was a mail dough. So I
picked him and I fed him and nursed

108
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,840
him. I overfed this dog,
German shepherd. He's a killing machine in

109
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,200
the Bayoue. He attacked a freight
train one time. I said, Hunter

110
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,360
Bone, you don't need to do
that. It's just he was a love

111
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,320
puppy and I programmed him. I
just let him go. He knows what

112
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
to do. He's swimming the bayou, but freaked me out as he jumped

113
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:46,279
into the water with the snakes.
I said, hunter, you are craziest

114
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:50,080
sound of a gun. But I
think he earned your Indian feathers pretty damn

115
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,799
good. He was four years old
when he actually got put down by the

116
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,600
dog catcher, which made me very
angry. He bit the mail man one

117
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,000
time. I mean he bit through
three fences in my backyard to get out.

118
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,480
That's impossible, but he did with
his teeth. That took him a

119
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,279
while. We're talking fence fence,
so his teeth rolled bloody. But yeah,

120
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,519
he got put down by the dog
kitcher and after that. So but

121
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:22,559
he is my good buddy and he's
buried in my backyard. I got him

122
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,639
a steel cross hunter boom. Yep. He never wanted to lose a fight.

123
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:28,639
He never would turn down a fight, that's what I could understand.

124
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,279
But in survival mode, I just
let him go and he's watching out for

125
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,720
his mama. So wow, sure
sounds like he was the heck of a

126
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,720
dog. And of course I'm so
sorry to hear that you lost him like

127
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:45,480
that. That's horrible. If you've
had a dog me an encounter, I

128
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,240
would like to speak with me about
it, whether I'm private or on the

129
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,559
show. Please go to dog Mean
Encounters dot com and submit a report.

130
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,960
If you've had a Bigfoot sighting and
would like to be a guest on one

131
00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:00,600
of my two Bigfoot shows, please
go to my Bigfoot Sighting dot com and

132
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,720
let me know. All right,
Mike, please tell us about your encounter.

133
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,639
Now, give us every last detail
that comes to mind, okay,

134
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:13,559
big I worked at the Levac shipyards, seven miles west of Crowley, and

135
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,759
it was Sunday, May seventeenth,
two thousand and nine. If five thirty

136
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,440
in the morning. I left the
house. The sun was not up yet.

137
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,960
We went three miles out of Crowley
to the old deserted place. I

138
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,039
saw the railroad bridge. It was
a deserted, abandoned bridge and got water

139
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,919
around it in some land you can
walk on, and said, come on

140
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,200
hunter. It was early in the
morning, it was foggy, it was

141
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:43,480
overcast. The sun didn't come up
till like nine or ten, you know,

142
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,799
and we were in the fall and
we're trapesing down the rails. We're

143
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:52,279
tuting along. We get to this
train bridge and it's foggy now, and

144
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,039
we start. I said, Hunter, we're gonna have to watch our step

145
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,399
on this bridge. It's pretty long
bridge. I mean it goes away way

146
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,639
over the bayou, and we had
to make sure we didn't step through the

147
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,120
slats. I had a twelve gage
riminton. I took the spring out of

148
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,879
it a little stick, and I
got a little six round buckshot buckshot bird

149
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,039
shot bird shot buckshot bird Shot bird
Shot, just in case I had some

150
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:22,360
more shells in my jacket. We
were going over the train bridge real slow

151
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,279
and Hunter stopped. I said,
what is it? Raccoon down here?

152
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360
I said, what it is?
Hunter, where is it? Where's that?

153
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,039
That's what the CAJN say, where
it's at? I said, where's

154
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,519
that? He looked at me.
I said, okay, what's that,

155
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,720
you know? And he crept a
little more. He's on the side of

156
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,080
this bridge. I'm walking on the
rails and the slats. He stops again

157
00:12:43,879 --> 00:12:48,039
and he's looking, but I said, what, I don't see nothing.

158
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:52,840
Then it's just like a like a
flash of time. You know, you're

159
00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:01,919
you're totally underware. This thing,
just demonic looking dog creature comes walking over

160
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,759
the rails upright out of the fall, standing up on his back, hunches

161
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:11,200
with the growley teeth. I could
see the orange eyes. It looked like

162
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:16,159
led lights or something in the ears. And I said, Lord Jesus,

163
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,679
what is that. This is right
in front of us, about twenty feet

164
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,759
because that's how I think the fog
was that day. We had falled for

165
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:28,480
like a seven days. And I
said, Lord God, what is that?

166
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:33,960
And I just totally the fear factor
came over me. It's like a

167
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,720
weapon this dog uses. I think
they were related to me because my arms

168
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:43,159
got froze fear. Everything my chag
gave Hunter Bone was just so stunned,

169
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,080
and he was going to attack this
thing. I said, no, Hunter

170
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,360
state like that. And I said, well, I heard a little voice,

171
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,360
y'all every hundred one shot, you
know, shoot now, And I

172
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,360
pulled my shot up out of fear. I let go of some buckshot,

173
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,120
but it went over his head.
I know that to this day. I

174
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:03,799
don't know while I didn't plugged him
right in the head with everything I had,

175
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:09,639
but situation being like it is,
he screamed and yelped and r and

176
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,360
he turned and ran, and I
know I shot another round of buckshot his

177
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,679
direction. Going on the bridge.
I might have put hit him in the

178
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,120
back end of the hind ear in
the ear or something, but I know

179
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,840
I could hear him crashing off into
the weed tickets over here, and I

180
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,720
said, forget this. We had
to go back across one third of the

181
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:33,799
bridge. We finally got to the
ground part. That's when I stopped and

182
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,519
turned and shot all my shot that
direction. I said, well, there's

183
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,639
more up in her, and he's
looking like he don't want nothing more to

184
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:43,039
do with it because he didn't like
me shooting a gun. Not all animals

185
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,159
are gunshot, but he just had
enough of that. We ran back to

186
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,600
that truck. We took off and
went back to Crawley three miles away.

187
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Yep, be ugly looking. We're
talking. I'm six foot those things at

188
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,919
least eight foot because he's over me. I could tell from twenty three years

189
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:03,279
about eight foot. He must have
weighed four hundred pounds. Big looking Arnold

190
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:09,960
Schwarzenegger looking due with Paul and funky
looking legs. But I actually did think

191
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,200
it was the devil. I had
to convince myself that it wasn't. It

192
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,919
wasn't until I contacted the animal and
wildlife people. They said, now,

193
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,200
mister Edwards, are you sure it
wouldn't a bear. I said, no,

194
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,879
sir, it wasn't a bear.
Now listen to me. I'm telling

195
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:30,039
you what I saw. He said, okay, tell me now. I

196
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,320
told him everything. Said, well, if that's the case, sir,

197
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:39,080
you're twelve gauge ain't gonna stop that
it would kill you. So you're lucky.

198
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:41,519
And yeah, I had told him
the zone it was in the location

199
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,360
on the map, GPS coordinates everything. And he said, well, we

200
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,799
have a special phone number, mister
Edwards, that we call. It's a

201
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:54,279
federal SWAT initiative or something. I
forget it has an initials. I got

202
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,399
to wrote down the paper. But
they called them and they come out and

203
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,440
deal with those. They terminate them
Bigfoot and dog Man, werewolves, cryptids,

204
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,320
they will find you know, you
got like eight men in each vehicle.

205
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:11,320
So he says, you just be
lucky and you don't go back.

206
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:15,000
No, I'm okay, I said, okay, if they have a good

207
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,240
click. So they didn't deny that
they're such thing. They have such thing.

208
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:26,879
But what he told me was that
they reproduce just like any other animal.

209
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,080
They have babies, they live in
the value, they got to be

210
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,159
near water. He says he's had
a few calls before, and I'm sure

211
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,679
they're wiser now. You know.
That was two thousand and nine, that's

212
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:42,799
what eleven years ago. But that's
the first time I touched I had some

213
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:47,320
old liquor bottle of old grand Dad
I've had in there for forty years,

214
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,840
and I took a shot of that. I don't even touch alcohol, and

215
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,000
I had a shot that day to
calm my hind it down. It's like

216
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:59,720
you're living in an old Disneyland,
you know, surprize. I mean,

217
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,720
I, oh, it's a creator
By now I've come to realize that's for

218
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:04,920
real. And I've talked to so
many people and listen to your shows as

219
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:10,000
well as others and even government agents
and all the rest of it, and

220
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:12,759
looked at every dang story. I
mean, I've had time to research this,

221
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,000
and I've also thought about how to
catch one of these things, but

222
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,920
I have not been back to that
location. I did send you Victors Vic.

223
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,599
I don't know if you're going to
share it with audience or not,

224
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:27,160
but it's west to Crowley, Louisiana. Both those locations. The train bridge

225
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:33,279
I included in the pictures I sent
you. This trains bridge goes across this

226
00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:36,920
value, you know, and it's
in the thicket. But when we made

227
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,519
it back home, I said,
I told the Sheriff's department. I stopped

228
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:44,480
at a gas station. He said, I've seen bunny looking dog creator running

229
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,160
in front of my camera. But
he didn't know what I was talking about

230
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,559
it. I said, dog man. He just figured it was some gray

231
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,400
dog or something. He said,
you take care now. So it's like,

232
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:59,039
you know, I've seen martians and
no one's going to believe you.

233
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,480
But I've to rationalize about this.
There's probably made me a better person.

234
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,039
At least you're not scared of mouses
or bugs anymore. Yeah, but what

235
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,119
if it's a dog man? Well, what do you you know? I

236
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,759
think the Good Lord was on my
side. I know the head Guardian Angels,

237
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,400
I'm god Freyer and believe in me. After something like that, I

238
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,960
said, I'll just hang out at
Walmart and melodetect. But this is in

239
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,400
the boondog is a Louisiana So if
there's one, there's got to be more,

240
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,920
right, thick. Oh, no
doubt. Do you see this as

241
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,799
being a good thing or a bad
thing with the authorities in your erae,

242
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:34,640
you know about dog men and being
there. I mean, after all,

243
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,720
they would know about them being there
if encounters weren't common. Yeah, I

244
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:41,440
think they do, especially in South
Louisiana. But I asked the agent,

245
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,200
I said, look, why in
the name of a rational being with the

246
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:51,319
South Louisiana, why y'all don't catch
these creatures and put them on display for

247
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,079
the general public can make us aware. He said, that's not what we

248
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,240
do. But there's been other attacks, like North Louisiana, the chicken ranch

249
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,079
up here. My friend told me
this. The dog man crept up here

250
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,240
by Natchez and the Mexican workers shot
at him and they said it was a

251
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:14,000
bear, But that's not what the
facts are. It was a dog man.

252
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,559
Chickens and pigs and all these other
stories are just now coming out.

253
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,000
And the gentleman did I listened to. He was a Vietnam veteran, and

254
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:27,920
he said that his unit ship dog
men from Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama,

255
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,799
and Mississippi to Vietnam to beat tunnel
rats and to kill the viet Cong that

256
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,920
took the cake. But it's like
you and me, we've never heard of

257
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,359
a dog man before two thousand.
Whatever it is, you know, you'd

258
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:47,079
never think in your wildest dreams that
existed, But it does, and that's

259
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,839
what people need to know. It
made me a better person yesterday did a

260
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,319
lot better. I'm thankful that I
wasn't mulled and I wasn't going to take

261
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,880
it home, but I thought about
ways of catching it. You can zap

262
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,680
up with electricity, you can get
cage TRAbs. But there's a lot of

263
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,519
people are Because you tell your story
and I'm sharing with you, they come

264
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,920
out finally said I did see this, and that it helps get it off

265
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,720
their shoulder. It's like I hit
a deer on the road type scenario,

266
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,400
but this one's got fangs and teeth
and is in your face. So that's

267
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,240
what it amounts to. Yeah,
anytime and I witness comes for it and

268
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,359
gets her encounter out there, it's
a good thing. So I'd like to

269
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,559
hear that. How far are you
from the Natchez Trace, Mike, that's

270
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:33,200
North Louisiana. I live in South
Crowley. If you look on a map,

271
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,920
we're only forty miles from the Gulf, so Hurricane Stump are place of

272
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:45,799
dwelling pretty much they turn into rubble. But Natchez is North Louisiana and that

273
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:53,799
is about a good hundred and something
miles and it's the McClellan Chicken Facility.

274
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,440
And I got that story for a
friend of mine, and he wrote down

275
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,480
all everybody because he knew I was
into the dog man, saying this is

276
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:10,960
like twenty nineteen twenty and the wildlife
people downplayed it as it was only a

277
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,480
bear, but the Mexican workers said
otherwise and sold the farmers. But that's

278
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,599
what they because, and they told
me the truth because they don't. One

279
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,119
of the wildlife people have talked to
several of them. He said, well,

280
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,559
it's because they don't want you to
run off from hunting and fishing.

281
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,079
They want you to spend money getting
out in the woods. They don't want

282
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:30,640
to tell you to look out for
a dog man. So you know where

283
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:37,079
Natchez is, y'all can look on
Google maps. McClellan Chicken Facility. Yep.

284
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:42,279
You know so many incidents. People
are not talking. I don't understand

285
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,559
why, you know, I guess
they think people think you're crazy, but

286
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,960
the honest of God truth. Yeah, boy, you know they exist.

287
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:56,799
It's just respects, like respecting high
voltage or Mama cap before she closed your

288
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,519
face off. You know, I
wondered where they live, how they live,

289
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:07,079
what they eat. They gotta have
water and losing INA's jungle right now

290
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,880
at summertime. Now, I'm sure
they're loose. So I'll bet you know

291
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,640
what. It's an old adage that
you and I know about it. If

292
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,799
you look for something hard enough,
you're gonna find it. And you know

293
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,480
that's the truth. That's right.
They say that another way, also,

294
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:26,319
be careful about shaking too many trees
because the leopard just might fall out one.

295
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,880
That's what scared me when they said
dog men waiting the trees and they

296
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,359
fell upon you. So that's got
me looking up in trees when they go

297
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,319
out to buy you anymore. I
mean, that's just common sense. So

298
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:42,000
being sixty one, i'd be a
little bit slower. I thought I was,

299
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,160
actually thought I was a big and
bad hunter out in the woods with

300
00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:51,039
a twelve gauge and nothing can stop
me until this. After him, the

301
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:56,200
wildlife person to exclaimed you you're not
going to stop that creature animal, mister

302
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,880
Edwards with a twelve gauge. Don't
try, don't go back, don't bring

303
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,119
a posse out there to hunt it. Just tell us. I said,

304
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:10,400
okay, good enough. And these
seeing South Louisiana, they gotta be serious

305
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,279
because they live in the bayou.
They have to work around it. You

306
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:18,799
know, the houses are on stilts
here, flood hurricanes, everything. I

307
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:25,200
mean, it's just the buyoue,
mosquitoes, snakes, spiders, ass bugs.

308
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,640
It's just it's in your face.
And this thing was in my face.

309
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,359
It was May seventeenth of two thousand
and nine, on a Sunday,

310
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,119
YEP, about six am. I'm
sitting here chewing my bubble gum with my

311
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,559
dog and he just stops like that. He was like a pointer German shipher.

312
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:47,200
I said, there's gotta be something
serious, but I don't see nothing.

313
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:51,319
When he came out, both of
us, just the fear factor was

314
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,400
just like a weapon. And so
it's like a seventh sense almost. I

315
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:59,720
say, man, this must be
how he gets his preaker. I was

316
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,799
terrify. My adrenaline started going.
I said, Lord Jesus and boll To

317
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,079
this day, I don't know Vic
why didn't shoot that thing in the head

318
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,799
with two buckshots. But I guess
it was just destiny for him to live

319
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:17,720
and me to live and no kind
of no blood. I know it's God's

320
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,799
critics. I did ask the Good
Lord, said, Lord, why in

321
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,640
have his name did you make creatures
like that throw on your earth? Because

322
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,240
it's in his power to do so. He says, it's okay, good

323
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:33,920
enough. Did that experience draw you
closer to God? Yes? Or it

324
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,640
does because I know that the Good
Lord exists, and he's just too plain

325
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,839
in your face. We see all
the work of his hand, you work

326
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,319
making the universe and all this.
There's no way you could get me to

327
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:52,359
ever believe in a foreign god or
any other theology. It won't work.

328
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,960
I'm not going to worship a Barbie
doll over God, you know, or

329
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,119
whatever it is they put on the
pedestal of their heart. It's just it's

330
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,519
too real. Sure it did.
It brought me way closer to God.

331
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,680
I've told people before and they walked
away kind of freaked out. Oh,

332
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,319
they said, oh you should.
I warned my husband. You do that

333
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,599
so the folk lord see because of
this dog man, And now it's strange.

334
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,920
I know you asked the same question. Why hasn't there been more research

335
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
and video play and documentation before two
thousand. I'm sure there has been,

336
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,519
but not a lot. Now it's
thousands of stories like you. You come

337
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:37,160
across thousands of people. You do
a good service. You help people to

338
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359
get a grip on life. Well, thank you, sir, wouldn't have

339
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,200
it, didn't you other way?
Yeah, that's a good man, big,

340
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:52,400
that's very admirable. Yep, people
are not cracking. Well, thanks

341
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,480
for saying that. I appreciate it. When that dog man walked out of

342
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,079
the fog, was it focused on
you were? Did you see him for

343
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,519
it? Saw you? His eyes
were orange and it looked like LEDs and

344
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:08,680
there were jugery, you know it
kind of kind of growling standing there.

345
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,079
He was looking at Hunter and me. I could see him moving his eyes

346
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,640
looking and they were there that bright
and the things and eyeballs and the ears

347
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:25,559
and the cloths sticking us outsize and
which one I'm gonna get? Tried to

348
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:26,440
get him. I put my hand, I said, no, Hotter,

349
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,680
stay and he couldn't believe that.
But I think he would have shredded Hunter.

350
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,000
But that's how brave that dog was. He's willing to save my life,

351
00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:38,160
so all him that much. Bro. Yeah, he just come out

352
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:45,079
of the fold and checking us out
like we're Chris passing on his property.

353
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,160
But people need to grow up.
Just face rally. It's an animal.

354
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,920
It exists, we know not where, but that's between him and you.

355
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:57,759
I guess can it go out hunting
these things? I think I would ask

356
00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:00,440
mama first when I hunting a dog, where are you going? Son?

357
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:06,039
I will go hunt the dog man. We'll go back by dinner. Yeah

358
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:10,880
you might not. Yeah, it's
like living through almost like an industrial construction

359
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,119
accident. You almost got killed by
voltage or this or that, or almost

360
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,599
died in a car wreck. We
almost got shredded by a dog man.

361
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,759
That's about as blood as I care
to be. I don't want to crossing

362
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,279
body out. But I don't know
if these things can be trained, you

363
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:27,519
know, get it? I asked
him, I said, why don't you

364
00:27:27,559 --> 00:27:32,759
get a small puppy dog man and
trading him to be a keynine officer.

365
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,359
This is my dog. Please?
Just I could imagine. I think people

366
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,279
leave drugs along with a canine dog
look like that. Yeah, yeah,

367
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:45,039
if you could train them to do
that, to be a Keynon officer,

368
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,960
then, yeah, I don't think
you'd have much of trouble with people trying

369
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,319
to fight you did? This could
look mean gier? Was it clean looking?

370
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,720
It was hard to tell. He
was dark browned into a lighter brown.

371
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:02,480
Some of his hair was nappy.
I remember that much like knotted balls

372
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:04,799
on the end of some of you
didn't look too bad. I didn't detect

373
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:10,519
a stintch, but you look like
he was pretty furry. I mean,

374
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,400
he's got to access to water.
I'm sure around here you got access to

375
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,119
buy you and cricks and coolies everywhere. Boy, I mean, you can't

376
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,640
not run into a water supply around
here. But look pretty clean to me?

377
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,759
If their appearance does seem to run
the gamut. Some are very clean

378
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:29,400
in appearancing other ones look nasty.
So you never really know what you're gonna

379
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,000
get. I believe it. Yeah, definitely. You haven't gone hunting since

380
00:28:34,039 --> 00:28:37,400
he had that experience. Is that
a big source of frustration with you?

381
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,519
Mike? Well, I'm going to
get up enough nerve to go hunting again.

382
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,880
I mean, you know, two
thousand and nine was eleven years ago.

383
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440
I said, I'm not going to
disobey a deputy of the Wildlife and

384
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,680
go back there. Especially after that, I said, I might just walk

385
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,799
into a trap and they'll never know
I'm gone. So I didn't go back.

386
00:28:56,079 --> 00:29:00,880
I've looked at maps, I've take
him pictures of the place and sky

387
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,759
daddle, but I didn't go down
where I was at by the bridge.

388
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:10,359
As far as returning to hunt,
just of beying the orders of that No,

389
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:15,640
in eleven years, I take up
middle detecting. That's probably more rewarding.

390
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:19,200
Or go hang out at walmart or
I mean, there's so many things

391
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,960
to do in South Louisiana it beggars
description. You can't do it all.

392
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:27,839
So nope, I haven't been back. Or no way, no way,

393
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,079
Wow. I hope you can get
back into the woods soon then actually enjoy

394
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:37,960
yourself when you go. Oh yeah, there's too many places to get lost

395
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,039
in Louisiana. I think the Civil
War was fought here. You can find

396
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,319
I look for places. It's a
treasure hunt on mats by looking at old

397
00:29:45,359 --> 00:29:51,359
plantations and boon doggy areas where there's
nobody, which is very peaceful. You're

398
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:55,720
in a good lord and maybe some
bubble gum and beat jerkey and do your

399
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:57,960
thing. You know, when you
get older, you like to look at

400
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:03,039
nature, you know, flowers and
this, and then just sit peacefully.

401
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:07,400
But it depends on you, and
it depends on how good of a woodsman

402
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,960
yor if you're gonna go too thick, because you could run into the swamp

403
00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:15,240
now it's got a quicksand and not
to mention the craters and snakes and raccoons

404
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:19,200
and the coolies and the baloues.
You gotta watch where you're going. That's

405
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,960
why I always use the map before
I go somewhere. I'd Google map.

406
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:30,000
I look everywhere for locations for meddle
detection too. You know, you can't

407
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:33,400
not find something in South Louisiana with
a meddle detector. You're always going to

408
00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:37,640
get lucky. And it's so beautiful. Y'all need to check out Louisiana one

409
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:42,240
day when it starts cooling off just
a tad bit. When autumn gets here

410
00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:45,519
is a perfect time to go out
in that value because then the heat won't

411
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:51,880
burn you up so much and the
skeeters let off of you. Yep,

412
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:56,240
differently, I'm gonna go back,
not to the same location, mind you,

413
00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:02,359
no vic, but I'm gonna go. I hope you do. Did

414
00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:06,839
you have problems with nightmares after having
that experience? Yes, for Vic,

415
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,559
I did, I've jerked away.
I think it's like a pack of them

416
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,279
was around me, but I was
always armed in my dream. I had

417
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:21,400
a pistol, a nine milemeter pistol
and a shotgun, and I never had

418
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,119
hunter any of the dreams. But
they're around me, looking behind trees,

419
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:30,079
or I was in a campsite and
they come out, or you know they're

420
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,200
about to get me, and I
wake up with jerk away. That's really

421
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,839
sad. But it's been a while
since I've had nightmares because about four years

422
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:42,240
ago when they stopped, so that's
a good seven years. Yeah, it

423
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:45,839
was quite often. I'm glad it's
over. I mean, I just had

424
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:49,720
to tell myself. You needed to
tell your subconscious mind in your mind,

425
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:53,920
you know, grow up based music
and get back after like you're saying,

426
00:31:55,599 --> 00:32:00,319
well, thank goodness the nightmares stopped. Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm

427
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:04,640
a veteran, you know, from
the United States Air Force, and I'm

428
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,279
pretty keen to way things work.
But I had to work myself. Why

429
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,359
does this saying you know you go
right, you genitally jump into why and

430
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,200
what for why does this creature exist? But then you look, well,

431
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,119
he lives on the planet Earth in
the same area you do. He's gonna

432
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:24,480
have to get around all these humans
and all their technology and highways and barbed

433
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:30,519
wire and power lines and schools and
manufacturing. He's got to live somewhere,

434
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:37,039
and we keep moving into his country. So yeah, it's strange. Why

435
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:39,480
does he exist? You know,
he exists just like anything like a squirrel

436
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,119
would. I guess he's got a
right to be there. He was made.

437
00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:49,880
But I know in the Bible,
which the Holy Ghost is gonna gives

438
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,119
me discernment, he said he'd use
animals as part of his judgment on wicked

439
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:01,240
humans. So I don't think i'd
want to be wicked against really really sinning

440
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:06,160
bad and making him mad and go
out somewhere and not show up back.

441
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,880
Because you got it, So it
works both ways. You know, people

442
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:16,319
show what you read, so you
got to keep you cool and be non

443
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:23,880
hostile. So pocket if only more
people followed that rule, Yes, sir,

444
00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:28,599
you know some You and I both
know they're gonna be people that are

445
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:31,279
going to have a dog man experience. I've heard to keep hearing these.

446
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:37,160
One of me and my grandpap worn
out and almost got its. Well,

447
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,400
almost is better than being, you
know. I mean, you don't want

448
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,960
to get bit, but you don't
want to have an encounter. You want

449
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,400
to escape. You'd be thankful you
can't. First some hair raising stories.

450
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:52,960
As far as the truth about the
matter, go check it yourself. That's

451
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,880
my best bet. Research it.
Look because there's too many reputable people,

452
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:02,200
doctors, lawyers, veterans, all
these people cannot be hallucinating. It's not

453
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:07,400
fairytale time. It's just reality,
you get. I bet you you could

454
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,960
get used to a dog man.
If you're around him enough, you probably

455
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,039
get used to him. I don't
know, bro, I've had some big

456
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:17,079
dog. This thing you'd have to
teach it from a young Asian. The

457
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:21,119
thing is, though, you know, animals have instinct. You don't have

458
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,599
to tell them to bury their bones
or kill or strike or maintain or drink

459
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,159
or nothing. They know what's going
on. They programmed already. Yeah,

460
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:35,079
that's a good point. You said
you sent a couple rounds over its head

461
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:38,000
of a bug shot. Did you
miss intentionally or did you miss him?

462
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,719
Do the nerves? Well, you
know in your mind as a shooter.

463
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,239
You don't know if somebody's dressing up
in a dog costume and it looks in

464
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,920
your subconscious mind, you're looking at
this thing, this target. And I

465
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:59,400
was so terrified. I raised it, I pointed. I think it was

466
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,960
intentionally or unintentionally. It didn't level
it off on It is right in his

467
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:08,239
face from twenty feet I would not
have missed. But I think it's the

468
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:14,280
look of the draw. You know, I blam, this is triple buckshot

469
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,360
with extra powder, and believe you
made it to put a hole in it.

470
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:22,599
Stop sign, pick up your knee
if you ain't careful. Yeah,

471
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,920
I know what you mean. And
I didn't kill him. I didn't shoot

472
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,480
him in the face. I've asked
me. I've asked myself why didn't I

473
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:34,800
shoot him and kill him? But
I guess that's just faith. I'm a

474
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,639
you ran and I shot after him. I know I probably peppered is hining

475
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:44,320
a couple of times, but I
didn't want to kill any critter for nothing,

476
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,000
but this here warranted at least sending
him him an idea. You know,

477
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:52,039
I think I had saved myself essentially, because you know how loud of

478
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:59,119
triplet Buckshot is of a rimagin.
It is loud. I mean you're talking

479
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:02,280
way loud. I work around jet
engines in the Air Force, and they're

480
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:07,119
allowed. You think ac DC's allowed, try jet engine. But this year

481
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,079
twelve gauge was it was the boss
pretty good. I think i'd use a

482
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:16,320
team gage and rather than a twelve
gauge. But slugs. But see,

483
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,320
I don't know my stuff. I
don't know if that would stop at me

484
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,800
there, So I didn't want to
tempt fate and go back and see him.

485
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:34,039
I'm getting he's ugly and stuff like
Katy listen about you. So yeah,

486
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,039
I didn't intentionally shoot him. That's
what amazes me. But I know

487
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:38,519
I got I rid of all my
stuff in rain as long as I can

488
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:44,079
run to my truck and escape.
Thinking the Boogeyman's running down the tracks after

489
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:47,920
you. I've had that dream before. That's just hair raising, but it

490
00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,079
grew me up. You have to
face it. There's sharks in the water

491
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:55,280
off the gulf. Okay, everybody
accepts that, so you just have to

492
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:00,159
accept. There's a dog creature.
So that's the way it is. You

493
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:06,079
can go out there with a giant
milk bone, dog bone biscuits and try

494
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:08,920
to draw this thing. But you
know it makes you step back and think,

495
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Okay, I did that in your
mind, said I managed to survive.

496
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,960
I'm not going to attempt the law
of physics because you don't want to

497
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,280
pull a dog's te or is here
because he'll buy you. So I just

498
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,559
didn't go back. I'm gonna get
out of here and go fishing and go

499
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:30,039
back and to buy you. You
know, there's no problem if I encounter

500
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:36,360
him again, big, I probably
with my intent. I mean I was

501
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,519
raised, like you wore it.
I would shoot something, believe me,

502
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:44,320
if I really had to, it
would be shot. I was a security

503
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,760
guard for years and I didn't ever
want to shoot anybody. But something like

504
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,599
this, it's an animal. You
know, you can put it in the

505
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:55,760
same class as animal critter, critter
buckshot. That won't work. See the

506
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,039
animal people told you that. He
said, you go more like AK forty

507
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:05,400
seven or fifty cal. Then you're
talking business. But not you, mister

508
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,199
Everards. You use a twelve gage. That's you don't do that. So

509
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,360
okay, no problem, So he
told me, and I'll listened. I'm

510
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,800
glad you did listen. You had
your encounter in me of two thousand and

511
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,840
nine. What were your thoughts on
the existence of cryptics five seconds before you

512
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,800
had that experience. Wel sir,
you know I went to the library,

513
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,599
like I'm said, I'm an avid
researcher, and I've heard all about the

514
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:35,239
loop crews and stuff, and I
thought it was just floor. I said,

515
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,000
if there is those things, it's
probably having to do with all the

516
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:43,440
magic he goes here and a voodoo
and witchcraft and all that stuff. You've

517
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:49,440
been to New Orleans to believe me, And so I was thinking, you

518
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,320
know, I might buy you,
and I'm not expecting look here. I

519
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,559
did not expect to meet something like
that in a Louisiana boy. I thought

520
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,880
when this happened, that I had
trespassed in some kind of voodoo, satanic

521
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:07,559
cursed area and roused spirits. I
thought it was a devil, quite clear,

522
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,920
exactly the devil. I mean now
it just thing. They're terminated me

523
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,519
through fear, you know, but
I don't like fear. No one does.

524
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,920
But yeah, I would have never
while I thought, well, I'm

525
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,400
good to go just to buy you
and me and my dog, you know,

526
00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:30,559
hunting along Lodi Dah. So I
guess I took debate almost Yeah,

527
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:35,039
it sounds like you did well,
Mike. I can't thank you enough for

528
00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:38,360
coming on ensuring the details of that
experience with us. I really appreciate it.

529
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:42,599
Thanks again so much, and have
a great night.
