WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.799 Well, those flags. Shirt has taken a beaten, hasn't it. Almost 2 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:09.480 wonder if this thing should be hung upside down right now of what's going on 3 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:17.399 in my country, I felt. I fished all day. I got up 4 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:24.440 to five, and I literally fished non stop until I got up five, 5 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.600 got fuel, droving over an hour and back to bed. Went to one 6 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:32.479 spot kind of sucked. I went up another spot where the falls are kind 7 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.799 a couple of shoat how to steel head on, didn't stop once, didn't 8 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.640 sit I once. I'm feeling pretty done. It's three thirty and I was 9 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.240 I would have stopped and got some shares up, but I spent basically my 10 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.359 whole day at the waterfalls there, and they're just way too loud for the 11 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.840 camera. So I'm here, I'm stopping. I'm just starting to leave, 12 00:00:53.079 --> 00:01:02.320 but I'm I don't know about sixty five clowns from home. I knows a 13 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:08.239 hurt elk down there behind me somewhere, so it we'll see if they come 14 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.239 up. What else did I do? It's funny. Notice every time I 15 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.760 go out in the woods, you always come across for somebody chopped firewood, 16 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.840 and they never take it all. I used to say to myself, why 17 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.599 haven't you going looked for firewood? I could just freaking drive round and toss 18 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:33.439 the leftovers incase somebody left three four four mature bone dry for rounds on the 19 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.680 ground right over there. It was all I could do. I used to 20 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.159 go out reckon split my draining half. I think getting these suckers in the 21 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.840 chocolate show you a big there. I got him in. I wasn't leave 22 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:56.680 without me. I've on a couple of bonus cedar rounds too. These things 23 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.480 were freaking heavy. Watch that one. But I put one of the smaller 24 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.840 ones on the ground and I flipped that one on top of the first, 25 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.680 and then I started building up the bottom, putting bark underneath, rocking back 26 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.319 and forth and building high and high until I get the edge on the box. 27 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.439 I lift it up and threw it in. It doesn't look like it, 28 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:40.360 but all that's a pile of deadly firewood. Could live score. Yeah, 29 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.479 I guess voice is heard from right here with my broken flag. It's 30 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:53.840 a broken country. Huh. Quick message to all you law enforcement military out 31 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.560 there that falls chiel. I know there's a bunch of you. You've emailed 32 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.919 me in the past. I understand the majority of you or terrified losing a 33 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.960 paycheck. I'll tell you what. Can you imagine what the grandparents you're thinking 34 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.319 right now? After the display yesterday in Canada, in the past couple of 35 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:30.319 weeks, can you imagine many many police officers were voicing it support, reminding 36 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.280 the country that they took an oath to our whipholder. I'll polled our Charter 37 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.960 of rights, which they didn't majority of them didn't. Failed. Is that 38 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:49.560 brutal? They failed? They failed. They took an oath and they failed. 39 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:57.000 As basically makes you the poster person of a loser. I guess you 40 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.080 gotta be in a fight to be a winner. Loser though, right, 41 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.919 gott to be in the fight. It's pretty pretty nasty it's going on. 42 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.080 Man, this is pretty It's a pretty sad state of affairs. I'm wonder, 43 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.919 I wonder how many of you in law enforcement have seen you know, 44 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.479 you see the goons squads in the past regimes in third world countries, North 45 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.680 Korea, Nazi Germany, wherever, and I'll bet not one of you ever 46 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.040 dreamt you would be in the position of one of those goons in your lifetime, 47 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.040 and you took that oath, whether you're Canadian or American, or Australian 48 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.560 or from New Zealand, all your law enforcement officers, you military people that 49 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:40.800 took those or those oaths, I couldn't only imagine how how frustrating that must 50 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.000 be to know that you are one of those third world goons being used as 51 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:55.040 a political weapon against your own people, even if you think what you're doing 52 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.040 is wrong, and you still do it. I couldn't imagine what that's like. 53 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.879 Go home and looking at your kids. Are your parents, your grandparents, 54 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.879 people who grew up with Pepa, played hockey with, people you went 55 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.079 and hung out with, the party with, and had fun with, and 56 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.959 grew up with and went to school with. Imagine imagine what that must feel 57 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.839 like. I couldn't imagine. I've been out, I haven't been on the 58 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.720 liner in service all day long. Who knows what went down today? I 59 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.240 would imagine by the time I get home, I will have found out that 60 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.000 the dictatorship goon squad put the fences up around the people. The people. 61 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.560 We were standing up for the freedom and the rights, the Charter rights, 62 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.399 Kane, Charter rights, and I will bet you did all those men and 63 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.040 women who used to be Canadian kids. I'll bet you they went in there 64 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:57.920 and arrested all those innocent, hard working, honest people today. That's my 65 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:04.639 guess. Never give up, never give up. We just regrouped. Old 66 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.480 Dave my brain doing circles all day long. I went out no matter. 67 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.800 It wasn't too easy to get up this morning. It's big with bugging me. 68 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.439 But I'll tell you what, when you're out here, you don't even 69 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:28.319 know what you're sick. So let's see what do we got. Well, 70 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:34.959 it's titled Steve in caps Lock. This is gonna be a long email. 71 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.800 My name is Craig Richardson. You can feel free to use it. A 72 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.879 man. Let's get into it. Some deals with a sighting by myself, 73 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.720 my brother and our friend John. I lived in the suburb of Manassas, 74 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.800 Virginia. The year was nineteen seventy three and I was sixteen years old. 75 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.920 One day I decided to ride my bike about six miles from my home in 76 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.560 the bull Run trailer to a creek named Little Rock and Run. To get 77 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.600 there, I traveled four miles on paved roads, two miles on old Route 78 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.600 twenty eight to the intersection of the main Route twenty eight and headed north about 79 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.199 a mile to where a major power line cross, and then the road onto 80 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.879 the power line to the east until I reached the creek. Never been there. 81 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.040 I was exploring. Found a long, smooth run about one hundred yards 82 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:29.040 into the woods on the left north of the power line. Water was crystal 83 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.079 clear. You could see the fish everywhere caused small milk bass, small rainbow 84 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.319 trout, large sunfish, some big red eyes rock bass. Went home and 85 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:43.879 showed my brother and friend well. We all aged to go back the next 86 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.000 day, probably eight. To go back the next day we did. However, 87 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.560 upon arrival to the aforementioned smooth run, there was not a fish to 88 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.560 be seen. The woods were silent and felt weird. We started a fish 89 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.399 anyway. While we were beating up, a rock the size of a softball 90 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.920 came whizzing by so fast you could hear it coming. It hit the water 91 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.439 with such force that water sprayed for twenty yards in all directions. We could 92 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.319 hear something in the thick brush behind us. We all got spooked and ran 93 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.879 to where we left our bikes. We had to cross the stream to get 94 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.199 to them, and the hill we had to ascend was way too steep. 95 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.439 To ride up, so we had to run while pushing the bikes. About 96 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.600 a half mile up. We were all winded stopped. That's when John said, 97 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.120 look, and we all looked back down to the creek. They're on 98 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.639 the edge of the woods where we had been fishing. Was what I would 99 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.279 describe as a tall, hairy man, dark brown hair covering the entire body. 100 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:48.840 Please note that we were at least three hundred yards away, so no 101 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.759 real details except he looked at us for maybe ten seconds, and then he 102 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.159 just walked across the powerline two hundred yards wide, so we all got a 103 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.320 good look. When we were safe and back at the highway Route twenty eight, 104 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.720 we all agreed to not say anything to anyone about what happened. That's 105 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.919 always the unfortunate part of the stories for me. We arrived back at home. 106 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.440 When into John's house, his mom was in the kitchen. As soon 107 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.279 as she saw us, she said, what happened? We said nothing? 108 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.840 Why? She said, bullshit, you're all white as a ghost. We 109 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.360 never did tell anyone. Part two. I'm now living in some point West 110 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.480 Virginia. My brother Read had come home after school and walk in the house. 111 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.200 Our mother is sitting in her spot on the couch as usual, but 112 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.600 she is white as a ghost. We say hey, Mom, and there's 113 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.080 no response. I tell my brother to call the rescue squad, announce, 114 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.279 and then tell him no way. She's alive, but I'm responsive. She 115 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.759 can move her eyes, but it seems to be full of fear. After 116 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.519 about fifteen minutes, she starts to battle. Another fifteen minutes and she can 117 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.159 talk coherently. She tells us I was sitting here watch the TV. In 118 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.519 the front door opened and something walked in invisible. He'd come up to her 119 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.480 and asked where the oil was She set up and I've been eating peanuts. 120 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.279 She said that she could not move or fight, and that the thing probed 121 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.919 every orifice of her body, including her personal regions. Now about an hour's 122 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.919 gone by, and she says, Craig, it sounded like they ransacked your 123 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.919 bedroom. You should go check it out. I did. The only thing 124 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.519 I found was my bank book sitting on my table by my window, and 125 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.759 it was missing a hundred dollar bill that I had tucked inside it. Well, 126 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.279 my window was covered by paper curtains that were hard to keep shut, 127 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.320 so I always pinned them. Shot with Scottie Doll Bank, Scottie Doll Bank. 128 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.080 There must have been a piggy anyway, it was full of coins. 129 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.639 However, for the last few days, the curtains would be wide open. 130 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.080 When I woke up, I could not make any sense of it. I 131 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.960 told my brother that I felt like I was being called to go into the 132 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.120 apple orchard across the street. I just went. It really got weird. 133 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.639 I went back out to the living room, where my mother and brother were 134 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.679 still talking, and told them about the bank book and missing money. My 135 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.960 mother said, look, boys, whatever it is, it did not harm 136 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.799 me. She gave it a name. I forget the name. My brother 137 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.600 said, I don't care if it apps with me, I will kill it, 138 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.080 And right then the entire trailer started to shake, and the most evil 139 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.799 sounding roar, slash scream you've ever heard enveloped the entire house. My mother 140 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.840 begged my brother to shut up, and he did. Part three. It's 141 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.600 now dove seasoned me. My buddy, Donny, don't mention his name. 142 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.000 He's a blah blah blah blah Blakkay. He'll never admit to what he and 143 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.360 I witnessed. Left my house with our shotguns to go shoot some doves in 144 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.240 the apple or across the road from my house. He's walking on my right. 145 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.399 As we walked down between the rows of apple trees, and as we 146 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.679 were walking, I know it's a big opening in the tree. To my 147 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.440 left, it looked like the lowest branch, four feet off the ground, 148 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.919 was under a lot of pressure. I told my friend to stop, showed 149 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.399 it to him. He said it was just the weight of the apples. 150 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.120 I said no, My sixth sense was on point, no fear, but 151 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.120 I knew something was wrong. I pointed my gun at the opening, and 152 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.399 all of a sudden, the branch flew up as something leaped off of it 153 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.440 and hit the ground running. You could see the footsteps in the fallen leaves. 154 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.559 This does not adequately account for everything that happened that fall at apples flying 155 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.519 off the trees at me like they were thrown from a baseball pitcher that fast, 156 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.120 but not everyone hit me. Then one night, all the dogs are 157 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.919 barking and growling with that fear growl. I went out of the spotlight shotguns, 158 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.120 shine the light on the dog pans. We raised beagles and trained it 159 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.080 for sale, and all the dogs were up on the fence wire and looking 160 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.159 up into the sky. I looked up and saw a round craft with dimly 161 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.200 lit windows, only four I think, and I shined my light on it. 162 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.360 The dim light behind the windows went out, and it slowly moved away 163 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.799 over the woods. The dogs calmed down and I went back inside. I 164 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.279 told my brother and my mom that the dogs were barking out a couple of 165 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:16.559 raccoons. Please note this all happened long before the Predator movie. This followed 166 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.039 me for twenty years and did shit just to app with me. Example, 167 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.480 I packed my lunch to work every day. I put my brown paper lunch 168 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.919 bag under my favorite hat down on the pasture side floor board of the car, 169 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.480 out of the direct sun. Come out to get my lunch, and 170 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:45.279 two sandwiches, chips or whatever snack would balanced vertically on top of the other, 171 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.799 with hat balanced on top of them. Impossible. You'd think that even 172 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.120 it could be done. You would think that, even if it could be 173 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.519 done, that it would fall fall down when you open the car door. 174 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.600 Not so as soon as you touch any of it, it would all fall 175 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.799 down. It's a crazy, freaking email, man. I know it's a 176 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.840 lot to take in, but there is more they have I think came through 177 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.360 the trees just a glimmer in nineteen eighty and sat down beside megeing on a 178 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.279 very large dead log I was sitting on while bull hunting. I had my 179 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.639 bow on the tops of my thighs it sat down on my right side. 180 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.600 I had a tennis buck knife on my left hip, and I thought, 181 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.720 grab it with my right hand and just cross stab it to my right, 182 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.519 stabbing the belly or whatever. As soon as I had the thought, it 183 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.799 said to me in English, don't even think about it. I could have 184 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.399 killed you anytime I wanted. You're no challenge, and it left. I 185 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.879 help this, help someone else. Not be afraid. I'm still hunting fish 186 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:48.600 anywhere I want. That's when I held an email, and I would imagine 187 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.000 there's gonna be people shaking her head, going yeah, right right, I 188 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:03.080 know I'm right. But how many people have seen the shimmering light? How 189 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.679 many people have pre heard something writing, seeing the footprints, seeing the bush 190 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.039 moving? You haven't seen anything? How many seen that glimmering thing chasing elk? 191 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.360 How many people seeing crazy shit in the sky? Thousands, right, 192 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.519 thousands? One thing I can tell you that I wasn't there and I'll bet 193 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.000 you if somebody else says something that happens similar, they're gonna email in now, 194 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.360 or they're gonna share it or say something in the comment section. Blow 195 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.039 this video, somebody's going to add to this you wait. Thank you for 196 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.879 selling that in man, I don't envy you with those experiences. I'll tell 197 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:45.120 you what experience at Granted Creek, California and answers and questions just Stevie channel 198 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.879 is now part of my daily routine and an excellent source for many. Thank 199 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.399 you for that. After the landscape, wisdom and experiences of others that you 200 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.080 share, absolutely top notch experience. First ye as today in your broadcast, 201 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.279 what brings people to your channel? It would be that it is a center 202 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.200 or truth tellers, and you're easy going and open attitude attracts many of the 203 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.399 same kind. A line from the film Field of Dreams strikes me. Build 204 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.519 it and they will come. That is what you've done. I applaud you 205 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.080 and the contributions of the other members of this family. They participate in the 206 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.720 broadening of our horizons. It is in itself the center, but don't ask 207 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:27.639 me to divine that. It is just annoing my experience with the unseen occurred, 208 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.919 and I was sixteen years old when I left, ambitious enough to hike 209 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.679 into Granite Canyon, a well kept secret to a few in the area just 210 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:40.320 south of Carmel, California. I followed a cow trail over the ridge of 211 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.679 wild flowers in April one year alone, dropping down into a redwood forest. 212 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.159 It had freshwater creek. Had a freshwater creek that I hiked too with others, 213 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.720 but never alone before. The rumor was that it was haunted. My 214 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.799 father had hiked through it throughout the Las Padre Forest as a team himself that 215 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.320 we rarely spoke as if of his experiences that would have been back in the 216 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:07.440 thirties for him in the seventies for me. After crossing the ridge and finding 217 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.960 myself on a grassy bank alongside a stream, sat down to eat my lunch 218 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.680 a French baguette and a round of lopping cow cheese. I laid out on 219 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:25.839 a checker table cloth to add to the ambiance. Laggers are driving home near 220 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.000 inside of the valley, but I keep hearing something in the timber on my 221 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.559 left. There's a big timber behind the camera, big mountain. Anyway, 222 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.480 I hate it when when something catches my attention, it screws me up or 223 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:45.079 reading. No sooner than the moment my lunch was out and I sat back 224 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.759 in the sun, everything around me spoke in a silent whisper, not a 225 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.519 scream. To leave immediately. Fear doesn't begin to describe it. Yes, 226 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.920 danger was the feeling and imminent danger. If it had been verbal, it 227 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.160 would have been to the words go now, odd because there was nothing about 228 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.920 the day to be afraid of. But it felt like I was being watched, 229 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.039 not by one, but by many, and the watchers seemed to be 230 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.079 in the trees, up the stream, and almost in the air, just 231 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.960 in every aspect of the experience. First, I laughed it off because I 232 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.079 was a girl in my teens feeling indestructible at being out of my own But 233 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.640 within seconds it was no longer a joke or a paranoid moment, but an 234 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.680 immediate concern. I left within minutes after packing up my lunch, and I 235 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.519 never went back. Something was there that did not want me to be there, 236 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.039 and it wasn't a human being who was in the air and knowing. 237 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.039 I can't describe it any better than that. It was shared knowledge between me 238 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.359 and something else, not a person. This message was that it was not 239 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.599 my space and I should leave immediately. A few years later, my friends 240 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.559 and I went hiking in the same region, this time starting from Polo, 241 00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.440 Colorado for a demanding hike up the pine Red Trail from the boy Scout camp 242 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.799 but Boocher's Gap. We arrived on the ridge, set up camp, and 243 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.000 had a small fire to cook on before going to bed in our sleeping bags 244 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.839 out under the stars. The fire was put out appropriately. Around midnight or 245 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.759 so, a dense fog took over the ridge and I awoke with an imminent 246 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.319 fear of a forest fire. The fog I saw morphed into a forest fire, 247 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.960 though there was no reason for it, no real fire, but an 248 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.720 awareness that the entire ridge would be taken over by fire. The feeling was 249 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:36.839 trapped. And remember this wasn't the current day. This is almost fifty years 250 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.480 ago, when fires weren't started like they are today. Like so many others 251 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.279 have said, and like I have felt before in the wild of Granite Canyon, 252 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.079 the message was to leave immediately. No one else in our group mentioned 253 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.400 it. We hiked out the next day and I never went back. The 254 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.480 feeling was much the same as the first experience in Granite Creek, which isn't 255 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.359 far from Pine Ridge, as the crow flies water at it, steep cliffs, 256 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:07.119 dense redwood forests, not public land but state slash national forest. In 257 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.759 retrospect, I didn't see anything, but the sensation was much more intuitive than 258 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.880 physical. I'm not a fearful person. I'm a forester's daughter as well, 259 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.480 the granddaughter of a forester, my dad's father, who worked as a forester 260 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.839 for the state back in nearly nineteen hundreds, always in charge of land in 261 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.359 northern California, from Shasta to King City and to the west. They were 262 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.799 firefighters, fire spotters as well as land management back in the day. They 263 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.440 certainly weren't talkers, and if one tried to ask about these experiences, it 264 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.119 would have been met with a keen eye, sharp expression, and zero disclosure 265 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.359 As to unexplainable things. They might have known, but they never would have 266 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.759 told the beings of the forest are real. Even if you can't see them, 267 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.079 they are there. They use methods to communicate to people who can receive. 268 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.000 We hear them, even if we don't understand what we are hearing and 269 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:03.079 feeling. I'd like to toss a question out to all the people who will 270 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.680 listen to your broadcasts and have been exposed to these experiences, and see if 271 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:11.200 they agree or not with the theory that I have. Perhaps they might contribute 272 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.160 additional theories of their own from the belief that the people who have had near 273 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.799 death experiences in their lives are more receptive to the physical energy of these beings. 274 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.200 An interesting study for those who have seen them or experienced them would be 275 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:30.440 to ask have you had a near death experience? Somehow I have an inkling 276 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.720 that if one has had a near death, they have an enhanced radar. 277 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.240 I can explain that more in depth, and I would be glad to But 278 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.240 I know you have a new property to tend to, lovely wife waiting, 279 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.880 cute outfits for the animals, by the way, and other people who are 280 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.640 equally as glad as I am for all of you do read this on your 281 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.799 broadcast. Let me just say, the channel and this experience is one of 282 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.680 the finer things in life. And I can speak for all of us who 283 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.599 say to you, how thankful we are for doing you do all the best 284 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.240 of all things wonderful coming your way. And the same to others that listen 285 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.599 to your broadcast and and a very merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you, 286 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.640 Randa, thank you. It's our a n Da Randa or Randa, I'm 287 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:23.480 guess it's Randa appreciated Randa. You remember of the club without a doubt. 288 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.720 And this channel isn't ending without people like you and all the people contribute and 289 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:37.799 all the people that come here to learn. So many freaking emails. I'm 290 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.920 trying to get back to the bottom, and I stop it and see it. 291 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.319 Okay, I don't know what's this one, So let's gonna start getting 292 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:52.039 wet here pretty quick. Definitely a storm rolling in from the ocean. It's 293 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:57.319 not here yet. It's gonna keep going this. This is titled Another Strange 294 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.359 Encounter, and I'm just marked this red pull again, Steve. My name 295 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:07.039 is Jerry. I shared my first encounter about when I was seven years old 296 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.480 in nineteen sixty four northwest Illinois. A couple of weeks ago, around nineteen 297 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.519 seventy three or so, again in northwest Illinois, a friend of mine and 298 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.039 I were doing what small time teams do in a small town back then, 299 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.279 back road beer drinking. We were on a very remote road, of course, 300 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.960 after drinking a couple of beers. Good to take a whizzer whatever. 301 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:32.640 So my friend who was driving, pulled over when we got out and started 302 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.200 peeing on his side of the car. The scrub brush started shaking and thrashing 303 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.039 about violently, and a deep guttural growl started. This is going on only 304 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.519 about fifteen yards or so from us. I zipped up and yelled at him 305 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.279 to get in the uping car. He was freaking up, but he couldn't 306 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.839 stop peeing. Kind of funny maybe now, but not then. He finally 307 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.680 jumped in the car, through it and drive and we took off and all 308 00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.839 of a sudden something hit the back of the car with a loud thud. 309 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.440 Saw a shadow of something very large. My buddy said he saw a flash 310 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.000 of white. I didn't see white, but it happened freaking fast. We 311 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:12.039 then went back to his house in town and looked at the back room, 312 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.839 left under and trunk, and there were claw marks on the car. No 313 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.759 dance. Of course, people accus just to being drunk and making up a 314 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.480 story after them. I know what I saw. And to those out there 315 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.000 that say it was a bear, there's no bears in Illinois, and had 316 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.000 no bears in Illinois had ever been reported at that plus I know it wasn't 317 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.240 a bear. Thanks again for all you do for those who threaten you. 318 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:42.599 You're right they are epin pussy's excuse my language. At sixty five, I 319 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:47.759 still would kick their ass, and I believe you by the way. I 320 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.680 watch your wife's video making moose rib rawl. Oh my god, that looks 321 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.319 amazing. Still trying to find her a link, but definitely want to see 322 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.480 more recipes. Have a great day. Thanks again. All right, Man 323 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.799 Gerald, thanks for that share Man Cook and Eat It on YouTube is a 324 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:07.119 isser channel. I've been busy lately, haven't been able to put the time 325 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.720 in that she wants on it, but it'll pick up speed. We're gonna 326 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:15.920 do another version of the rib rowl here pretty quick too. All right, 327 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:22.240 when we got here, Mark, this is red. I've not seen what 328 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:27.279 you talk about, but I believe my stories. In the nineteen eighties, 329 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.599 I would go a white till hunting in Middle Georgia my aunt and uncle's place. 330 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.079 I'd parked on their front yard, then grabbed my gear and walk to 331 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.279 my stand. I've not loaded my rifle towels in my stand and put my 332 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.440 safety strap on. I hunt through lunch into the time for the afternoon hunt. 333 00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.240 I would stay until shooting light was going on. This day I started 334 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.440 was going. I would stay until shooting light was going on. This day, 335 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.079 I started out while I was still had light. As I got about 336 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:59.039 twenty five yards from my stand, there was an itch in the middle of 337 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.240 my back and hair started standing up. When I would look back, I 338 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.240 saw nothing. I walked around some curves in the trail I was on. 339 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.799 As I cleared the curves, the itching hair standing up came back. Never 340 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:17.279 saw anything behind me or heard anything, just been thinking about it. Well, 341 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.319 I was short. Who knows about that? Was Donald. I think 342 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.599 we've all had our hair stand up on end when we're in the woods. 343 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:34.480 That's where we're sure. Okay, Mark, this is Red big Foot's title. 344 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:41.000 This one. Steve names John of military law enforcement background without being said. 345 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:42.759 When it came to the night of my seeing Bigfoot, I've developed a 346 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:48.039 no nonsense policy about the subject. My story happened in the summer twenty eighteen. 347 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.000 I was working for a food service company that delivers well into the night. 348 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.759 We have about a four mile radius from our store for a delivery we 349 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:02.559 are in a rural area of Virginia. This delivery was made down a country 350 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.400 road in Rockbridge County. I had to cross a parallene clearing together to my 351 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.759 customer's house. It was about ten pm at night. After making my delivery, 352 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.599 I again cross over the parallene clearing. I saw this creature first with 353 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.640 its eyeshine close to the ground like a deer. The next second I see 354 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.680 these eyes start to rise up and keep rising up to the height of about 355 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.319 ten feet. I knew this is no deer. I hit the high beam 356 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.880 lights in the Sioux brew out back. That's when I saw its massive black 357 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.799 body. It was far too large to be a bear. I wasn't afraid 358 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.519 of it. However, I didn't stay around long enough to become frightened. 359 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.440 After I got back to the store, I told the owner and fell the 360 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:48.160 drivers that night at what I saw parfa chorus with this subject. I was 361 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.880 the brunt of the jokes, being six foot five and over three hundred pounds 362 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:59.039 and over forty naturally, I shut those domasses up point blank, told the 363 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.240 unbelievers, you'ru wasn't there, and truth be told, you had to shit 364 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.440 yourselves if you were there. The one thing I didn't tell anyone is had 365 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.720 to carry a nine mill pistol and an R fifteen in my vehicle to protect 366 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:14.279 myself because dealing with money. But I firmly believe I had used them on 367 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.200 that creature, I would only have pissed it off. Although I've traveled through 368 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.039 that every since then, I've not seen the creature again. Sincerely, John, 369 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:29.079 there's another one. Another member in the Claubineau returned. They're just coming 370 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.640 and right in the door, one after the other, right, one after 371 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:45.200 the other. There's another one short one Mark. This is Red Wisconsin's surprise. 372 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.119 In August twenty eleven, my husband and I were dropped on the Pine 373 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.680 Slash Poplar River in Florence, Wisconsin to do a three hour canoe trip. 374 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.039 The river was low. We walked our canoe a lot of the way. 375 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:02.759 There's a sunny, beautiful day. We winked a lot of wildlife. When 376 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.759 we came around a bend, we saw us something about fifty feet in front 377 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.640 of us run across the river. There was a typical bigfoot looking creature. 378 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.319 It was brown, hairy and large and had a splash across the river, 379 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.599 which was very very low that only something that weighed as much as it did 380 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.319 could do. I turned round and looked at my husband and we both said, 381 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.559 what was that. There are no campgrounds or cabins in this area of 382 00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:32.519 the river. We thought maybe it was sumbating in a Gillie suit, but 383 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.279 it was August that no one was hunting. Then we thought maybe it was 384 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.640 a person that was growing marijuana that was trying to scare us away. So 385 00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.160 I called the DNR later and I asked if they were in any reports in 386 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.720 the area marijuana growing, and he said no. We continued to paddle past 387 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.440 this point where we saw this creature, and we're very scared because it disappeared 388 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.200 when it hit the river bank and made no sound at all, so we 389 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.880 thought it was hiding and waiting for us. We had no weapons and no 390 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:02.039 phone service. It was the most eerie feeling having to have to paddle past 391 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:07.640 where we saw it cross, and it was so quiet that if it would 392 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.680 have ran in the woods, we would have heard it would no problem, 393 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.279 but there was no sound and no sign of him after that. I've never 394 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.079 paddled so fast in my life, and I was visibly shaking when we finally 395 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.559 got picked up at our drop point. To this day, we don't know 396 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.440 what we saw and people think we're crazy. Why don't we tell them the 397 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.400 story? But I know what I saw it. It wasn't a bear and 398 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.039 it wasn't a man. So my only conclusion is so it was a sasquatch. 399 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.799 After an investigation, I learned that there is a big foot group in 400 00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:41.480 Florence, Wisconsin. Thanks for the time. I love your channel and more 401 00:30:41.559 --> 00:31:06.640 people enter the club and no return right storm's coming. I'm gonna keep going. 402 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.039 I'm not done yet, but little gotta get home. Excuse me, 403 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:21.839 Mark. This is Red Oregon El Hunt, Wolves and Knocks. I was 404 00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.319 El Kunta in the early November twenty twenty one in eastern Oregon, about fifty 405 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:32.519 miles southeast of John Day, Oregon. Buddy and I had drawn hair tags 406 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.920 for the unit and were optimistic of a successful hunt. Okay, hair tags 407 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.759 that was a type of must have been bull tags. We had the same 408 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:56.400 unit for the first time. Excuse me. We had the same unit for 409 00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.680 the first time in twenty nineteen with no luck because we really didn't have any 410 00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:04.000 time scout the area. We got lucky drawn a tag in twenty twenty one, 411 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.920 since it's high demand hunted with loss of applicants in the tag draw. 412 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.440 Anyway, I should backtrack a bit more to say that I have an older 413 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.160 work buddy, Ken that has hunted this same unit of the past, and 414 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.880 I asked him for some tips of where to be concentrating my energy. He 415 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.920 did, along with some stories. Yeah, those kinds of stories he was 416 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:28.359 hunting around there are twenty fifteen with another workmate, rich they were in a 417 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.400 wall tent in the middle of a small clearing slash prairie in the middle of 418 00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:36.519 the night. They were a wolf by loud banging as in tree knocking on 419 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.799 the edge of the clearing. He said. It went on for several minutes 420 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:44.400 as they stood outside the tent shining lights across the field to the trees and 421 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:47.039 saw nothing. I later asked Richard about it. He said, I don't 422 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:51.440 know. I don't want to talk about it. He said, okay. 423 00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.440 I just went on with my day people at work, just listening accounts stories 424 00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:00.559 without a lot of its sincerity. Ken also had stories of the graze. 425 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.160 So back to twenty twenty one hunt, My buddy John and I left camp 426 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.880 of the late on the third day of the season the try New area, 427 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.799 which drove three miles west of Camp on the paved Forest Service Road to an 428 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.359 old logging road. Heading north, it went up about a thousand feet to 429 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:20.799 the four thousand footmark before a dead ending at the gate. Beyond the gate 430 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.559 to the north was an area that was logged maybe forty or so years ago. 431 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.319 The road behind the gate was now impassable. The fence that went to 432 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:31.799 the east and the west of the gate is a three strand barbed wire. 433 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.119 John crossed the gate to the north. I walked the fence to the east. 434 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.720 It was cold, the ground was frozen and crunchy. I walked the 435 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.640 quiet the fence as quietly as I could for about a quarter a mile, 436 00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:49.160 slowly going uphill on the spine of a long butte, with the fence twenty 437 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.279 foot fir trees to my left and older big trees to my right. As 438 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.640 I got about two thirds up the hill, it all turned back into old 439 00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.319 grove, then off to the northwest. I heard a wolf. Powell mind 440 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:06.039 New Organ Game Commission says there are none in this area. Then a second, 441 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.760 and then a third. I believe I heard up to five wolves howling 442 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:14.920 from my northwest all around to the east, I estimate a half mile away. 443 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:20.159 Anyway, I realized I was being surrounded. Decided to backtrack. A 444 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.840 radio John and I said, I'm getting out of here. He agreed. 445 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.039 About one hundred yards later, the sling of my rifle broke. I managed 446 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:29.920 to catch it just before it hit the ground. A good one. I've 447 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:35.079 done that before. Crap, and now I have to pack this fifteen pound 448 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.639 ramatick in my hands. I set my rifle against knoll down tree and was 449 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:44.199 tying up some paracord as a temp fix. As I tie the last knot, 450 00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:49.920 I see motion on my right. Something big, black and four legged 451 00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.159 running at me fourty yards away. I thought there which I also had a 452 00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.800 tag four. I stood up, raised my rifle to see one hundred and 453 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:04.320 fifty plus black wolf pound one hundred and fifty plus black wolf running straight at 454 00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.400 me. Safety off that it must have saw me and peeled off to my 455 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:13.800 right, heading southwest. Now here's the fun part. As of following this 456 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:19.239 rifle wolf with my rifle bam directly behind me and on the other side of 457 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.039 the fence no more than a hundred feet I hear a loud crack of wood 458 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:27.480 on wood I can only describe as a ten foot long baseball bat hitting a 459 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.840 six inch diameter a large pole and didn't the ending, not a sound, 460 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:36.760 a motion, nothing. All I was thinking it was what the f was 461 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.400 that? And where did that wolf go? Heels to say, made sure 462 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:44.880 my rifle and my forty five of my leg were good to go, and 463 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.039 I steadily walked back to the truck with the rifle button to my shoulder. 464 00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.840 Got back to the truck about ten minutes before John. All I could do 465 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:57.960 is watch the trees with that nervous weariness of is there something out there? 466 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.079 To this day, I don't know if the wolf was sniffing me out or 467 00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.480 just ran man away and got spooked when a camel thing stood up and pointed 468 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.760 at him. I also wonder if some of those howls I heard were the 469 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:15.559 wolves and the knock was at warning to not mess with my buddy. I've 470 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.360 ever heard of wolves coexisting with the big furry guy. I'm curious to know 471 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.119 without finding out for myself. Oh and by the way, we didn't see 472 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:27.000 an elk the entire season, which is not a common Thanks for reading and 473 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.079 enjoy the hell Oed Channel. Chris oh Salem, Oregon. Hey Chris, 474 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:36.679 thanks for that. Man. No, I haven't seen them protecting wolves or 475 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.039 running with the wolves myself. I've heard people have mentioned them running with dogs, 476 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:45.280 heard once maybe about them being a wolves. But the truth of the 477 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.079 matter is, man, I've trapped wolves where these beings frequent a lot. 478 00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.639 I've had my hands on a lot of wolves, and nobody just tried to 479 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.719 stop me. Now, just messed with any of my assets. Now, 480 00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.400 except that one time I could hear tree knocks while I was setting in that 481 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:06.599 huge cedar swamp, the same trees that I showed you guys the spring when 482 00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:07.599 it hung the meat. And then I got the grizzly bear on the wind 483 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:14.280 or grizzlebear on the trailer camera on hundred fifty pound wolf. You got to 484 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.679 have your hands on a lot of wolves to be able to or it's got 485 00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:21.440 to have your hands on a lot of whatevers and weigh them to be able 486 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:25.159 to accurately guess the weight. Lots of people look at a wolf, is 487 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:28.639 it, oh my god, thinks a twohndred pounds hundredfty pounds. And to 488 00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:32.079 be honest, the largest wolf I have ever trapped in my life was only 489 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.880 one hundred and twenty seven pounds, and that was a huge breaking wolf. 490 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:42.679 And that's after a lot of bloody wolves too. I mean, there are 491 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.039 hundred fifty pounders out there, but they're they're very, very very not common 492 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:50.119 at all. Right, unless of people always ask me how much you think 493 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.079 that grizzle bear wighed, I don't know. I would say I don't know 494 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.280 because I've never weighed one. I've never weighed a mountain grizzy bear, so 495 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.119 I would not be able to tell you how much it was, right, 496 00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:04.239 It's just my feelings when people have try to have a solid guest to how 497 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.639 much Sutin ways, you have to have way to handful of them first to 498 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:12.119 be able to have an accurate guess. Wolves are typically very very tall, 499 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.800 they're right up to here, but they're very lean, right, the very 500 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.440 lean animals are on the run non stop. Anyway, Sorry, man, 501 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.039 I got off track there, but no, I've never heard of wolves and 502 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:30.519 sasquatch going hand in hand in my life. All right, here's another one. 503 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:38.760 Mark this is red has titled the Club of No Return. Well, 504 00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:43.480 Steve, my name is also Steve, and I'm sure so many others appreciate 505 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.599 what you have done and continue to do for us, the people. I 506 00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.599 follow your channel for what I guess about two years now, but just recently 507 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.239 subscribe. Yeah, I'm one of those. Sorry I took me along. 508 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.920 I don't worry YouTube will un subscribe, yet they always do anyway. Here's 509 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.960 my story. September twenty eighteen, my son and I went to a boy 510 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:05.079 Scout camp about an hour away from my home in northeast Tennessee. It is 511 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.000 a well known place, but I'll leave it there to protect their anonymity. 512 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:13.960 So by the time I arrived at a late start, everyone else had their 513 00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:19.119 tents all set up like so many tepees, away from the perimeter structural cabins 514 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.360 in one section of the camp. I had set mine up next, two 515 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:27.880 in between two of the cabins, away from from most everyone, except ironically 516 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.400 enough, the Scout leader who was staying in the cabin. Night fell quickly 517 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:35.280 and I struggled to get us set up. We played hide and seek during 518 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.599 the dusk hour, and some of the adults were chatting in and around the 519 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:42.119 picnic carrea that served as a center point to this cul de sac in the 520 00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:46.000 woods hadn't been dark more than twenty minutes. While we stood there chatting with 521 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:51.119 out of nowhere, this stone bounces off in one of the cabins and scuttled 522 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:57.679 across the wood deck, slashed steps of the cabin, straight and to the 523 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.960 right of me. Everyone just stopped at once. Acorns were falling, and 524 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:05.199 it was September, but this wasn't an acorn. It sounded like it hit 525 00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:09.199 the side, not the roof. Hit the side, not the roof. 526 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.199 Not long after that we hear a distinct knock in the distance. I'm no 527 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.519 outdoorsm and and admitted. But it doesn't take Davy Crockett to figure out that 528 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.039 it was close enough to here, but far enough to not get a pinpoint 529 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.880 or gauge exactly how far it was. I merely went into spotty sinse. 530 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.360 Sorry i'd use that reference, but that's what I imagine. It would feel 531 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.239 like. My hair stood up, my pulse rose, and my breathing increased. 532 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.639 Everyone else just carried on and maybe made a comment or two about it, 533 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:43.199 but I was glad it was dark so they couldn't really see the fear 534 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.920 that had to be screaming across my face. But I also started writing off 535 00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:51.960 the stone as nothing too, until I heard the knock. Then there was 536 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.119 another one to our six and just left. It was closer, but still 537 00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.599 a ways off. I struggled to believe what was happening, and everyone else 538 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:05.599 didn't even seem to notice. That's when I realized they had no clue was 539 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.679 going on. I'm sure they heard it too, but they just didn't know, 540 00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.679 so I tried to ignore it until yet a third knock resonated through the 541 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.840 campground just before I got to my tent. Three knocks wire triangulated positions of 542 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.199 our camp. I'm laying in my tent trying to get my then seven year 543 00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:27.920 old son to sleep, Acorns falling off on the tent with no wind and 544 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.639 humid air. I've never wanted to leave a place so bad in my life. 545 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.199 I should have left, maybe, but I stuck it out. A 546 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.639 couple of Scout leaders walked around the camp of flashlights until midnight or so. 547 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:43.320 I'm laying dead still with this ridiculous four inch lock blade in my hand and 548 00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:47.199 across my chest. Knocks every twenty minutes or so, and always an answer 549 00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:52.559 from the other directions. Then this crashing sound came like someone threw a Volkswagen 550 00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:58.719 beetle into the pile, into a pile of branches. I'm sitting there thanking 551 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:00.880 the stars. My son did wake up. He was on the side of 552 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.880 the tent that based a tree, and I felt it was the safest place 553 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.239 I could give him. At the time. I wish now, I just 554 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.599 packed our ship and got in the cabin. But last I lay there all 555 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:16.000 night hearing noises and crashes, and there's guttural but tangible speaking about fifty yards 556 00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:20.519 away. It only happened once. It was around three am or so. 557 00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.280 I had my phone. It was peaking. I had my phone and was 558 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:30.719 peaking every so often for time. It sounded like no joking here the Tasmanian 559 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:34.920 Double from the Looney Tunes. But it was deeper and fast, like a 560 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:39.519 speed talk around a car commercial. That's when I thought seriously about getting out 561 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:44.039 of dodge. I just prayed to God to spare my son from these things. 562 00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:46.280 He lost his mom the next year to cancer. It's been tough, 563 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.880 but he was spared that nightmare of knights because he can sleep through a nuclear 564 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:57.519 bomb. Apparently. I heard something heavy with padded footstones walk away from my 565 00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:02.159 tent after I dozed off around I am. I was exhausted from work and 566 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:06.840 all the tussle. It was just loud enough to wake me and immediately went 567 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.360 into fight or flight. I would have died, but the bastard was getting 568 00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:14.320 all French as a lock blade up his ass as my death wish, I 569 00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:17.800 swear it, but no. It just walked away and then the glorious sun 570 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:22.599 came up about fifteen minutes later. That was the longest fifteen minutes of my 571 00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:27.800 life. At dawn, I finally got the nerb decks at my vinyl sanctuary. 572 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.960 It was still fairly dark because the sun was behind the horizon. I 573 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:35.519 had my flashlight out and scanned the perimeter in all directions twenty yards away or 574 00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:38.800 so. At just the end of the last cabin, I catch eyeshine. 575 00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:45.519 I freezed the beam and my breath broke. Now it was grumpy, tired 576 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:47.360 and fed up with this whole thing. So I walked straight toward the eyes, 577 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:52.000 saying I see you in whispered tones, I see you. Then another 578 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.199 eye shine appears and I stopped for a second. I forgot about my son 579 00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:59.519 and the tent for one split second, and it gave me pause because it 580 00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:02.400 didn't want to get too far away. I raised the lamp up to get 581 00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:07.159 a better view, and standing just inside the camp perimeter or two white tailed 582 00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:12.960 deer. Relieved in somewhat humiliated, I went back to wake my son. 583 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.800 We had Why had dear entered so close to humans? I thought maybe they 584 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:21.760 had no fear because people can't hunt there, or maybe they knew sanctuary next 585 00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:25.000 to us was the better alternative to those beings out there. The worst part 586 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.960 of it all is that no one mentioned it all that morning. Sorry, 587 00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.360 the worst part of it all is that no one mentioned it it all that 588 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.519 morning. It left me thinking it was my own imagination. I tried to 589 00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:42.639 say something to one woman about all the noises that night at breakfast, and 590 00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.559 she just deflected the conversation with something else. I think she heard it too, 591 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.840 but didn't want to know what it was, so it was awkward. 592 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.880 I could see discomfort in her eyes, but no fear. I was completely 593 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:58.000 drained that day and had to trudge through all the day's activities, so I 594 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.559 didn't bring it up again. Forward six months or so, I run to 595 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.480 the Scout leader out of grub and pub. By chance, I brought it 596 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:12.679 up. He tells me he thinks I was being haunted. He said he 597 00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:15.880 heard some weird sounds, but no crashing sounds. Maybe, he said mentor 598 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:20.679 type, he thinks you were being hunted. He said he heard some weird 599 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.159 sounds, but no crashing sounds. I don't know. See people are crazy, 600 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:28.400 but I didn't I know, I didn't imagine myself into that miserable state 601 00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:30.079 of mind norder. I wish to be exhausted the next day. I have 602 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.519 some of that joy stolen from me, my son, and the last person 603 00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.920 I would go looking for these things. If sounds could kill, they shot 604 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.960 me in the face. I can't imagine what carnage they could bring, should 605 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.880 they choose. I would really like some answers, but our society day has 606 00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:51.719 been watered down with lie after lie, as they had ever, It's just 607 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.000 more entertaining for most just to just point and laugh than to listen to think. 608 00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:59.360 Next Again, for this opportunity, I help. My input brings souls 609 00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.599 to another, then doesn't get lost in the archives. Peace to you and 610 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:09.360 yours. Thanks for that email, Steve, appreciate it. I can't imagine 611 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:14.360 having that vulnerable feeling with a small child and a tend with me. Nothing 612 00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:23.239 to protect us i'd be frustrating. Oh man, I'm done. Still second 613 00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:39.920 tired, now done. Oh I gotta get going. Time to get going. 614 00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:50.039 Funny, you can see something dark beside a tree. Sure what I 615 00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.760 was just looking at, So you can see why I was doing the double 616 00:46:52.840 --> 00:47:00.079 take. I always do double takes. It's just out of having right m 617 00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:15.679 just a stump. But once you're seeing something, those sort of shapes stand 618 00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:19.320 out no matter what for the rest of your life, no matter where you 619 00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:22.239 are, when you're in the woods, you always have to look to be 620 00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:59.840 certain I'll be back.
