00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.080
Today, I want to tell you
about a journey that I've been on for

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.040
most of my life. Ever since
I was a kid, I've heard tales

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.160
of bigfoot and wild men while spending
time with my friends and family. As

4
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.960
I grew older and read more about
the paranormal, my interest encryptids and other

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.120
things strange only deepened. That's why
I'm so excited to share with you what

www dot Untold Radio Network dot com today,

17
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.840
And I want what are your reportting? I got a screen going on

18
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.000
here. Something just to fly dog? Something killed your dog? My dog?

19
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.480
We're flying through the or over the
tread. I don't know how it

20
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.799
did it, Okay, damn.
And I'm really confused now as I saw

21
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.560
was my dog coming over the fence, and they did when you hit the

22
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.799
groul, I didn't have seen any
cards. Also, I saw was my

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:46.640
dog coming over the fence? Dan? Why what are you reporting? We

24
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:57.120
got someone or something crawling around out
here? Do you see what it was

25
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.519
worth it? Ending up here?
Looking up new the window now and I

26
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:09.520
don't need anything. I don't want
to run right Nay, Hello, get

27
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.479
the buddy out here, thought,
I'm a bud four nine. I don't

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.560
know easy out there yet. I'm
looking right head Chapter nine, Oh Cheesy

29
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.960
Pond wild Man. In the late
eighteen hundreds, a large feral man of

30
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.919
the shadows was wreaking havoc on a
small swamp village not far from Black Lagoon.

31
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.479
The creature of the dark was terrorizing
children, killing livestock, and hurling

32
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.039
out blood curdling screams in the night. A group of hunters and soldiers tracked

33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.520
the monster down and captured the wild
man deep in the cypress. They believed

34
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.919
he was an escaped mental patient,
and he was sent to the state hospital.

35
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.639
He died there a few years later, but his descendants have been spotted

36
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.520
many times over the last century.
In October of twenty eighteen, right after

37
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.960
Hurricane Michael ripped our region apart,
I had some strange occurrences in my Panhandle

38
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.400
trailer. There were trees and debris
sprawled in every direction. My windows were

39
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.599
broken, and the outside sheeting and
skirting were miles away. We didn't have

40
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.439
power for twenty six days, and
we were one of the lucky ones.

41
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.319
The nights were dark, hot,
and silent. The first few nights after

42
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.280
the storm, I had trouble sleeping. The loud crashes and thrashes from the

43
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.879
hurricane would return, and I would
roll over in my bed. The human

44
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.560
body was never supposed to experience something
that intense. I truly feel sorry for

45
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.400
those in war. The night terrors
and roaring skies pumbled me into submission.

46
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.000
It crossed my mind that moving down
south may have been a mistake. The

47
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.039
soil was stained and we were all
scarred. The cries of my mother watching

48
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.400
all of her fruit trees tumble over
in her newly acquired dream home really stone.

49
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.919
But luckily I'd evacuated my trailer and
made it over to her sturdy home.

50
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.960
One of my neighbors was rolled over
and another one's roof was ripped off.

51
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.919
I'm glad we were safe, but
the trauma was still very real.

52
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.240
My heart goes out to the more
than seventy people that were killed by Michael.

53
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.080
In the middle of the night during
the blackout, I'd feel a banging

54
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.240
on the sides of my single wide. It was loud and vibrated the entire

55
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.920
frame. It would wake me up
and stir up my cats, but most

56
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.360
of the time I'd just fall right
back to sleep. It happened five or

57
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.040
six times. It felt like a
dream, but most of the day did

58
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.720
as well. We were surrounded by
debris and split trees. It begins to

59
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.879
play tricks on your mind. I
couldn't tell if something was targeting my trailer

60
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.399
or if it was PTSD. One
night, it was strong enough to get

61
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.839
me to peek out the window.
I looked outside, and to my surprise,

62
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.360
caught a glimpse of a large white
blur and some wild dogs running off

63
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.279
back into the woods. I scribbled
f l heard something late at night three

64
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:55.319
a m looked out the window,
saw something white, big in my journal,

65
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.120
and went back to sleep. Another
hundred in the area told me that

66
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.879
activity had picked up right after the
storm as well. He and his neighborhood

67
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.040
loud trampling and a path being cleared
through the fallen trees. I sure hope

68
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.680
they sensed the storm and found safety, but that weird window of a couple

69
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.759
of days after a natural disaster could
have cryptids, creatures, and common folk

70
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.199
on the same path of survival.
My friend Ronnie has been hiking these creeks

71
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.519
for decades now and has had many
encounters with the creature. He was lucky

72
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.959
enough to find a thumb bone of
a giant. The first metacarpal bone was

73
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.680
almost bigger than my entire thumb.
The petrified fossil was heavy in my hand.

74
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.879
He also found a shoulder blade deep
in the clay remnants surround us.

75
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.399
I had a recent encounter about thirty
miles from the pond with a stump jumper.

76
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.680
June fifth, my friend and I
did a nighttime hike for the eclipse.

77
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.120
My companion, Ronnie, is former
military and a lifetime hunter and tracker.

78
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.079
We adventured to Bellamy Bridge, which
is known to be apparent on a

79
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.120
hotspot. The hike is short but
creepy at nighttime. A blanket of mist

80
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.720
covers the path and the Chippela River
swamps. We were out there for a

81
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.040
few hours. We told scary stories, meditated, and just listened to the

82
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.879
words of the forest. We were
talking about the swamp thing and heard a

83
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.519
loud hooting call from a distance.
It stopped us in our conversations, tracks

84
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.040
and rumbled our chests. I haven't
recorded on my GoPro camera. Ronnie tried

85
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.439
calling back but was met with no
response. It was either an owl or

86
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.560
a warning from a wild man.
There was a blanket of strange vibrations that

87
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.079
sprawled throughout the dark forest. It
was eerie because it only hooted one time.

88
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.600
I was well aware that both linked
to ancient legends and missing four one

89
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.639
one. For the next forty five
minutes, we watched glowing orbs in the

90
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.759
sky. It looked similar to heat
lightning, but it was just above the

91
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:53.439
tree canopy in the surrounding forest.
An airy feeling spread around the end of

92
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.680
the trail. We knew that something
was nearby, and it was confirmed when

93
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.199
we heard a large tree crash about
thirty yards from us. My GoPro burned

94
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.439
out just minutes before. Not a
dead battery, It just got so hot

95
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.480
it turned off. Strange. Could
be the old batteries finally going bad or

96
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.439
was it infrasound. I was terrified
after that crashing tree. I could feel

97
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.639
it in my sternum. I envisioned
rell a boom attacking. I armed myself

98
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.319
with my knife and Ronnie had his
hand on his protector. He joked that

99
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.279
he wished he had brought the bigger
one. I wished I had one.

100
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.000
My toothpick wouldn't stop anything from snapping
me in half. We didn't want to

101
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.800
hurt whatever it was, but we
were sure ready to protect ourselves. We

102
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.839
stayed out there another hour with minimal
activity. Sometimes the entire forest would go

103
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.680
silent and get darker. Even with
the full moon eclipse going on. The

104
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.879
vibes were definitely getting a little spooky, especially with what's going on in the

105
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:55.399
world and the people in charge finally
releasing those authentic UFO videos proving their unknown

106
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.279
and supernatural forces at play every day, but that is an ancient nilge of

107
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.279
course. Another time, near Look
and Tremble Rapids, I was with a

108
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.079
neighbor and his son hanging out along
the chippola. We recorded videos talking about

109
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.519
the seminole legends, monster gaiters,
and religious snake handlers who passed away.

110
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.959
Back here, we enjoyed the white
water and skipped rocks. We did some

111
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.240
tree knocks, and then the kid
did some big foot calls. Right after

112
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.279
one of his hoots, a tree
branch fell. The nearby forest went silent,

113
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.680
and we didn't stick around much longer
after that. We were always searching

114
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.960
for signs when we were out there. Chapter ten, Honey Island Swamp Monster.

115
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.840
The Honey Island Swamp is a true
paradise for reptilians and mammals alike.

116
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.399
Runaway circuses, Indian burial mounds and
piles of hidden treasure saturate the Spanish moss

117
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.480
of the bayou. Aggressive gaiters,
angry hogs, and enormous snakes patrol the

118
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.200
perimeter grounds, while the simple life
fishermen just catch enough fish to survive.

119
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.759
On the edge of the space test
zone. It's not rising there have been

120
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.360
some strange creatures spotted in the water. The most famous is the three toed

121
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.879
swamp thing, the Honey Island swamp
monster. According to Cajun legend, when

122
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:16.519
someone skips lent for seven days straight, they become cursed for a hundred and

123
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.720
one nights. They are transformed into
the rugaroo. The half man hybrid beast

124
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.279
will have a taste for blood,
and that thirst can never be quenched.

125
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.799
Other reports say a circus crashed and
chimpanzees mated with the crocodiles. This beast

126
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.840
is even more dangerous than the Reverend
Zombie and the Bayou Butcher. The legend

127
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.440
of Victor Crowley is told in the
Four Hatchets movie. Victor's father cheated on

128
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.759
his dying wife with the family nurse. Their unborn child was placed under a

129
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.120
voodoo spell. Victor was born deformed
and mutated. Thomas raised him in the

130
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.480
Honey Island Swamp on the outskirts of
existence. One day, a group of

131
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:00.519
teenagers lit the cabin on fire with
Victor inside. Vic tragic, he died

132
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.559
and his spirit was trapped in time. He was resurrected and killed anybody who

133
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.919
visited his haunted swamp after a misunderstanding
left me on the Biloxi streets for the

134
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.039
night. I bathed on the beach
by the Loop and looked for shark teeth.

135
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.960
I found some cool rocks and jellyfish, but no meglodon fossils. I

136
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.600
dried off and called the Honey Island
Swamp Tours to book a spot on their

137
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.399
two hour boat tour. I was
excited to finally check out the swamp and

138
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.360
check that off of my bucket list. As I drove westward, I reminisced

139
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.759
on the last few times I visited
New Orleans. We had memorable stays with

140
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.080
interesting people. Our friend, Jannon
was born in China and raised as a

141
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.879
cave diver. She has lived all
over the world and is now the leader

142
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.720
of an important Mardi Grad group.
The other guy we stayed with was ex

143
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.080
military and a bike delivery man.
He has ridden across America on two wheelers

144
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.120
that he built himself. Both of
our friends had stories for days. This

145
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.799
guy was a big NASA fan.
However, he wanted to strangle me when

146
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.120
I told him the Earth was a
flat plane and that NASA meant to deceive

147
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.639
an ancient Hebrew I chuckled about it. As I entered the space testing zone.

148
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.559
No wonder there are deformed monsters in
the swamp. It's just like the

149
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.480
hills have eyes out there. I
was getting close and passed the rest stop

150
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.600
we'd slept at a few years before. I remember setting up on the ground

151
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.159
just outside the car because there was
barely any room with the five of us

152
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.639
packed tight in a small suv.
I fell asleep quickly, but was awoken

153
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.919
in the middle of the night by
something causing a ruckus in the tree line.

154
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.200
I crawled back in the car and
pissed everyone off when I woke them

155
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.159
up. Better pissed off than pissed
on. I pulled off the sly deal

156
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.840
exit and had my eyes peeled for
gaiters, creatures, and even aliens.

157
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.519
The movie Midnight Special was filmed right
there. In many other places along the

158
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.960
Emerald Coast, I was right where
I needed to be. I followed the

159
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.320
signs and took the winding dirt roads
to the cabin. I ripped my cart

160
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.759
and was ready to go. I
bought a hat, couzy, gaiter claws,

161
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.000
and a bunch of postcards from the
gift shop. I figured it would

162
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.159
be cool memorabillion presents from my cryptid
family. I marveled at the crayon drawings

163
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.720
of the Honey Island swamp monster,
and of course I had to ask the

164
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.320
guy at the front desk if he
had had any encounters. He shook his

165
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.440
head no, but said that his
grandfather had once shot one of them.

166
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.960
He said it was the scariest thing
in the swamp other than the quicksand I

167
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.840
laughed but trembled when I imagined being
sucked under by the sand. Before I

168
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.879
knew it, I was on the
boat and sitting through the safety guidelines.

169
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.039
There was no standing up, no
smoking, and no reaching over the edge.

170
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.320
He didn't have to say that twice. The giant gaiters reminded everyone very

171
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.320
quickly that we were safest sitting back
and enjoying the view. Our captain also

172
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.360
warned, and if we run into
the rugaroo, do not stare into its

173
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.320
eyes. We covered about thirteen miles
on a high speed pontoon boat. He

174
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.519
pointed out the interesting river side homesteads
and asked us how many boat loads of

175
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.919
material we thought it took to build
each one of them. We fed marshmallows

176
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.320
to alligators and visited the magic tree
from the princess and the frog. We

177
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.120
were infiltrated by snakes. They rained
down from the trees. After our reptilian

178
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.759
encounter, we spotted something very strange
up ahead on the river. We slowed

179
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.519
down to get a better look,
and a nauseating odor swept through the air.

180
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.840
The baby on the boat started to
cry, and most of the people

181
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.240
were covering their nose. The captain
didn't get too close. I had my

182
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.200
eyes locked on the surface and in
the woods behind, scanning for clues.

183
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.480
There was a light, brown,
bloated carcass floating towards the shoreline. I

184
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.960
could see a long snout and strange
wrinkles. At first glance, I thought

185
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.200
it was a deer that had filled
up with fluid, but the captain said

186
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.039
it was an alligator. I'm not
sure that I agree with him. There

187
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.639
were no scales, and it was
not the greenish tint that most alligators appear.

188
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.919
Cap of course, was on the
wall are far more than me,

189
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.440
but I think he didn't want to
raise panic amongst the families. I snapped

190
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.240
a few pictures before we jetted off. The boat was under a spell.

191
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:15.759
The creature looked like it came from
Silent Hill or resident evil. It reminded

192
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.360
me of the zombie dogs and lichens
from Underworld. The carcass was at least

193
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.240
seven to ten feet long, and
it looked like it would burst if it

194
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.159
were poked. I wondered if it
were a victim of the rugaroo or an

195
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.159
unfortunate member of the species. It
also crossed my mind that it was a

196
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.559
mutant from the space testing area.
No matter what it was, the entire

197
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.919
boat was shocked. The rest of
the trip was peaceful. The icing on

198
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.000
the cake was when we spotted two
large boars at the end of the canal.

199
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.039
They smelled horrendous, but nowhere near
the mysterious creature we'd encountered just a

200
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.559
few minutes earlier. The monster pigs
trampled through the mud and were not happy

201
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.639
that we had interrupted them. I
wished them good luck, because I knew

202
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.120
the gaiters and the Honey Island swamp
monster would be hunting them soon. We

203
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.639
made it back to the dock,
and I was happy to get a picture

204
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.720
with the captain. I hung out
in the store and waited for everyone to

205
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.200
head out. Then I approached him
for some questions. He was happy to

206
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.200
chop it up. He admitted that
he really didn't know what that carcass was.

207
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.440
It didn't look like other gator bodies, but that was the only thing

208
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.600
that was that big in the swamp. And when they swell up, they

209
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.919
become unrecognizable. I agree with that. He described a couple of after dark

210
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.679
encounters with unknown creatures. He has
heard strange sounds and purrs coming from the

211
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.639
trees that had a peaceful tone.
Other nights, he has been forced out

212
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.399
of fishing spots by intimidating roars and
rocks being thrown in his direction. Tree

213
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.000
knocks, whistles and whispers were just
part of the swamp, he laughed.

214
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.000
He told me about another crazy experience
that he had a couple of years ago.

215
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.720
He was fishing with his two friends
deep in the swamp. There were

216
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.399
three houseboats tied to each other,
and they were fishing beside them. His

217
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.519
friend got snagged under the house and
caused a ruck us trying to get it

218
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.879
undone. A man with an automatic
twenty two stumbled out of the doors.

219
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.799
The swamp man said, if there
wasn't a fish on the end of the

220
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.559
line, he was going to shoot. Then the snag got undone, and

221
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:15.080
of course there was no fish.
The crazy guy said, well you heard

222
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.600
me, and let off a barrage
of shots. My captain ducked down and

223
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.279
got the boat in motion. They
escaped, but were at a dead end.

224
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.720
The guy knew this and he was
waiting for them. When they passed

225
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.279
by. He let off more shots
and hit the boat multiple times. They

226
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.840
made it back to safety and reported
it to the authorities. They sent out

227
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.279
a sheriff, and the guy shot
at them too. They surrounded his house

228
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.759
with the entire force and had choppers
overhead. Some old guy rode up and

229
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.000
asked if they were looking for his
brother. He assured them that he would

230
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.159
bring him out as long as they
promised not to hurt him. They heard

231
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.240
shooting within the unit, but the
man surrendered and was apprehended. The man's

232
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.320
original charges of attempted murder on a
police officer were reduced to simple assault.

233
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.480
The man was back on the water
within the wheel. He later put a

234
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.279
shotgun in a CoP's mouth, and
then he was taken away for good.

235
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.000
The man pleaded insanity and got locked
up in the Looney ban. The most

236
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.200
interesting part was that he was a
genius and used to work for the Space

237
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.079
program. He left there for some
odd reason and moved into the middle of

238
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.720
the swamp. He was clearly very
paranoid. Maybe he knows more about the

239
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:25.240
origins of the Honey Island swamp monster, or whatever else they have hiding in

240
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:32.519
that pristine land. Chapter eleven,
DeSoto Demons. The DeSoto National Forest is

241
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.759
a serene gateway for trail blazers and
fishermen, but when the sun goes down,

242
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.200
it's probably smart to stay in your
tent. People have been vanishing at

243
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.039
a terrifying rate from our national parks
and forests. There is a deeper reason

244
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:51.119
for the land being protected by federal
law. Many people of the Bayous were

245
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.279
carved by giants. The battle of
angels and demons might be going on right

246
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.400
outside our tents. Some believe that
there are four types of people on this

247
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:07.160
planet, human sasquatch, red headed
giants, and the grays. The Zeta

248
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.319
manipulated the big Foot DNA about thirty
thousand years ago. Six thousand years ago,

249
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.039
the population exploded, and now there
are many species that roam the earth.

250
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.799
The pituitary gland in their brain regulates
their height at a different rate than

251
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.880
a human, and they can reach
thirty feet tall. They had been working

252
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.359
underground, digging a labyrinth of caverns
below our feet as we speak. Teddy

253
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.039
Roosevelt was one of the country's most
respectable presidents. His book The Wilderness Hunter

254
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.720
was all about outdoor adventures and struggles
and the Mountain States. He described a

255
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.880
story of a trapper who was kidnapped
and killed by a mountain beast. The

256
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.960
partner of the deceased first relayed the
story to Theodore, and the President was

257
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.519
deeply moved. Another hunter had been
killed and eaten at the same place the

258
00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.240
year before. Many prospectors and trappers
have sadly met the same fate. Even

259
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.480
though many disappearances point to the sasquatcher's
direction, there are many positive experiences with

260
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:10.480
the species. There are countless reports
of young boys and girls playing with children

261
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:15.160
of the forest, making mud pies, sharing fishing techniques, and even working

262
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.799
together to hunt. Some kids realize
their friend was different, but others treated

263
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.960
the creatures just like any other.
Pile Mother squatches have been known to look

264
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.480
after vulnerable hikers. They can sense
when humans are disabled or in need of

265
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:33.200
help. A man claimed a female
bigfoot shielded him and his handicapped son from

266
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.680
an aggressive bear. There are many
Native American legends that describe the troglodytes inheriting

267
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.920
healing abilities and supernatural spirits. Homo
sapiens and smile alike have been sharing the

268
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.559
land for thousands of years. The
wild people are deeply connected to Mother Nature

269
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.240
in her electric fields. This connection
opens doors to heightened senses and abilities.

270
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.559
The mitochondrial DNA of these creatures is
female human, while the nebular DNA is

271
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:06.079
unknown on mail. This groundbreaking info
opens the possibilities of nephelum watchers and fallen

272
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:11.319
angels still roaming the forest today.
Among man, our connection to our creator

273
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.920
might be closer than we understand.
It is already written into our genetics.

274
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.680
We just need to unlock the code. Native American legends and proverbs speak a

275
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.920
lot about the gamekeepers. They refer
to them as stick Indians, tricksters,

276
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.440
and frighteners. They are looked at
as the evil god of the woods and

277
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:33.279
a living solid force. The brushmen
and bushmen's negative encounters are recounted as warnings

278
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.759
and terrifying camp fire tales. But
some of the stone coats have protected and

279
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.839
guided the First Nations people over the
years, and it's interesting to wonder how

280
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:47.440
they shaped our outdoor days of the
present time. Accounts of trading, hunting,

281
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.480
and fishing together are not uncommon.
Friendly masked beings and ottermen love to

282
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.839
help their little brothers. The older
people would mimic animal calls and attract the

283
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.880
prey, and the tribes would trap
and kill the target. They would share

284
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.640
the deer, pigs, and snakes
while building bridges out of mud and leaves.

285
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.599
There are many more stories of the
natives treating injured treemen, and even

286
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.440
more stories of the ancient beings using
special abilities to perform miracles on us humans.

287
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.079
The ancient people have adapted perfectly to
the natural world. They have sonar

288
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.000
like dolphins and bats, and infra
sound like lions and tigers, and the

289
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.400
ability to use their feet like monkeys
do. Their vision is like an eagle

290
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:32.720
mixed with a predator. They sense
vibrations like alligators and can communicate with stomps

291
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.480
from miles away like elephants. Translucent
hairs allow the sasquatch to camouflage to their

292
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:42.240
surroundings. They are masters of disguise, but have a problem masking one thing.

293
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.599
Their smell is horrendous. The mixture
of rotten skunk and dead fish pours

294
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.160
into the surroundings and intoxicates the victims. The road kill fragrance serves as a

295
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.759
warning to most, but a spell
to others. You think a skunk spray

296
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.759
is bad, what you smell the
skunk ape Their territory is marked most adult

297
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.960
male sasquatched behaviors are to intimidate.
A protective mother is even more dangerous.

298
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.440
When the vibe is playful or curious, it's most likely a juvenile or young

299
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.680
female. Their tree breaks and other
markings are similar to our roadmaps. Most

300
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.079
hikers walk right past them without a
second glance, but when a small number

301
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.920
of us can read their signs,
they begin to notice. We slept outside

302
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.480
at a church right by the park
perimeter. The boys set up the tent

303
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.559
and the girls said that they would
sleep in the car. Of course,

304
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.279
when we were setting up our sleeping
bags, they decided they were going to

305
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.640
sleep in the tent as well.
I had a bad headache, so I

306
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.039
moved my stuff into the car.
I'd much rather suffer alone. I sipped

307
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.440
on some gatorade and ripped the chill
em. I tried to get my breathing

308
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:53.680
right. Seven seconds in seven seconds, out. I massaged the sensitive pressure

309
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:59.519
points between my thumb and index finger. Migraines make me delirious. There was

310
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.319
a const buzzing in the back of
my head. I was sweating and probably

311
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.079
had a fever. After a while, I lost track of time and finally

312
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.880
passed out. I was hiking a
path that looked familiar with my mom and

313
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.480
Peppa. I felt like I was
back at the farm, but could recognize

314
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.839
some of the spots because I had
just hit them earlier that day. We

315
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.559
continued forward, and for some reason, my mom insisted that she separate from

316
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.680
the back. I was severely against
it, but my grandfather didn't seem to

317
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.200
care. Next thing, I know, my Grandpa and I are trekking down

318
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.759
a hillside toward a bank and a
creek. A strange feeling overwhelmed me,

319
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.119
and I knew something was wrong.
Peppa stopped in his tracks and I was

320
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.880
already halted. I could feel that
something was hiding behind one of the thicker

321
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.279
trees. We crept at an angle
until we got a visual. Finally I

322
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.880
locked eyes on it. This thing
looked like a black faced baboon. It

323
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:56.039
looked like this thing was wearing a
charcoal colored Jabbawaukee's mask. The creature's skin

324
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.720
was ashy gray and badly burnt by
the sun. The lurker was terrifying.

325
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.880
I was paralyzed in my steps and
just let out a loud shriek. That

326
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.519
was my only defense. My body
couldn't physically move. I felt the leer.

327
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.720
The creature was around the same height
as me, but could have been

328
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.720
eighty years old. It's hard to
put an age on something so obscure.

329
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:21.039
The burnt skin and the black eyes
are what stood out to me. I

330
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.799
just wanted to run towards my mom
and make sure she was safe. Then

331
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:30.440
there was a banging on the glass. They say, you don't gotta go

332
00:24:30.920 --> 00:25:07.200
home, but you can't stay.
I don't try, try, try everything.

333
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:17.680
Call it baby, baby joy for
me to stay right you call it

334
00:25:17.960 --> 00:26:18.960
right away. Don't turn back for
because don't come backs us to US,

335
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:30.240
USS to us, to use jasus
