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.
