Ever since I was a kid, I've heard tales 3 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.199 of bigfoot and wild men while spending time with my friends and family. As 4 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.759 I grew older and read more about the paranormal, my interest in encryptids and 5 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.039 other things strange only deepened.

I got a screen going on here. 18 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.040 Something just kid with my dog, something to kill your dog? My dog. 19 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.799 We're flying through there over the tree. I don't know how it did 20 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:22.120 it? Okay, damn, I'm really confused. All I saw was my 21 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.799 dog coming over the fence and they would dead once you hit the grill. 22 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.719 I didn't see any cars. All I saw was my dog coming over the 23 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:48.000 fence. Sat, what are you reporting? We got some wonder or something 24 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:59.560 crawling around out here? Did you see what it was? It was enough 25 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.319 out here looking them do the one down now and I don't need anything. 26 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:10.479 I don't want to go outside. Hello, hit the Boddy out here, 27 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.319 quin On out there. I've thought of a bit about text nine. I 28 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:23.199 don't know easy amount. Yeah, I'm right head. Oh he didn't. 29 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.240 Thanks so much for joining me for the show. I decided to bring you 30 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.520 three more amazing encounter stories from Fred in Alaska, but I wanted to pop 31 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.400 in here for just a second and say this. I've gotten a couple of 32 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.759 negative comments on reviews on Apple Podcast about Fred and the stories that he shares 33 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.560 and I've got a couple of those privately. But many of you guys have 34 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.719 emailed in because Wayne and I have talked about Fred several times over on that 35 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.479 Bigfoot podcast and Buying Large. The overwhelming amount of you who have written in 36 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.759 via email have said that you guys are enjoying these stories from Fred. Some 37 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.680 people have a problem with them because they think they're a little too out there. 38 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.479 They think they're fantastic and for whatever reason you think Fred's making up these 39 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.599 stories, I personally think these stories are very important for people to hear because 40 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.879 they come from the Native American perspective and most of these cases, Fred is 41 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.319 hearing these stories from Native Americans and First Nations people up in Alaska that we 42 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.759 probably wouldn't get otherwise because he is a council member up there, and these 43 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.080 people share these encounters that we probably would never hear if it weren't for Fred. 44 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.080 So i'd like your feedback. If you're enjoying these, please let me 45 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.879 know. You can send me an email Brian at Paranormalworldproductions dot com. You 46 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.800 can always send me a voicemail. It's right here in the show notes. 47 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.199 All you have to do is click that button, talk right into your phone 48 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.919 or your computer, hit send, and it comes directly to me. You're 49 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.759 going to hear about fifteen minutes into this, during one of the first stories 50 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.240 that Fred is sharing with you, there was a guy up in Alaska metal 51 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.599 detecting, and I've actually linked to this video over on the blog. So 52 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.080 if you want to check out the Sasquatch out to see blog, head over 53 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.560 to Paranormal World Productions dot com. You could see this video in its entirety. 54 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.439 But a few minutes into this video, this guy's out metal detecting in 55 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.919 the middle of nowhere in Alaska and you hear what sounds like a sasquatch screaming, 56 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.599 and then something starts to throw rocks at him. I've included that audio 57 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.599 from the video here. About fifteen minutes into this, I think you're going 58 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.919 to find it really really compelling. With all that out of the way, 59 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.560 all that's left for you to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy 60 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:28.199 the show. Greeting is this friend in Alaska. Thanks for joining me. 61 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.920 What I want to share with you today is something that happened to a former 62 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.199 campground host. People will volunteer for parks up here, whether it be a 63 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.000 river park or a national park or whatever. They usually volunteer and park their 64 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.800 RV and keep an eye on the grounds and stuff. A lot of retirees 65 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.439 do it, and it's actually a really fulfilling job for someone who's retired to 66 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.639 spend their summer in Alaska being part of the scene, telling people, giving 67 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.399 them guidance on what trails good and what's not, and what have you. 68 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.720 This happened to coast that used to host a park roughly about twenty years ago. 69 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.800 What ended up happening to this retired couple they no longer host. They 70 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.000 still come up, they still spend time in their RV, but now they 71 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.879 don't feel comfortable staying in one place longer than a night or two, which 72 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.279 is hyper vigilance or paranoia, whatever you want to call it. It still 73 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.920 affects people. So what happened with them is it was their fifth year hosting 74 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.600 in the same place. They had went on a hike with a small group 75 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.120 of people that asked for some assistance, something about a certain trailhead. I'm 76 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.639 being very vague on purpose. It was asked of me to be because as 77 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:42.079 far as park hosts go, it's a relatively small community. I told her 78 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.800 I'd be as vague as possible, so forgive that. It's not to keep 79 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.639 anything from you guys. So they do this hike and they show these people 80 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.040 what they wanted to know and what they wanted to find out. As her 81 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.000 and her husband are taking their time because the party continued on. They only 82 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.800 went for about a mile or so and gave them some directions in a spot 83 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.120 that could be a little confusing because there's three different trails. On their way 84 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.800 back, they kept hearing a grunting and a huffing, which for them was 85 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.600 nothing new. They've dealt with bears in an area and they were not unaware 86 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.040 of the bear, so they figured, okay, we're being paced by this 87 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.120 bear. It'll lose interest. We don't have any food items on us, 88 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.040 were brightly dressed, they had some bear spray. They really weren't concerned doing 89 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.079 it for a long time in their eyes, and they understood the park the 90 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.519 area that they were hosting pretty well. So they continue on and nothing happens, 91 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.959 but they continually hear this huffing every now and then it kind of tapers 92 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.920 off the closer they get back to the trail head where they have their RV 93 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.680 station and all that. So they go in and it's about midday and they're 94 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.720 doing their lunch thing. As she's working in a little sink. Looking out 95 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.920 the window of this RV, she notices something dark in the woods. Just 96 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:55.120 move said, it looked just like a shadow. Just movet nothing of it 97 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.480 now. Her husband was outside on that same of the RV. What he 98 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.680 saw was the hairy man looking at them and then moving away once he made 99 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.319 eye contact with it. His view of it was that of a caveman with 100 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.920 lots of hair. That's fairly similar to along the same lines of the description 101 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.000 I get from a lot of different places. So he's immediately freaked out. 102 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.879 He comes back into the RV and he sits down. He's pale white. 103 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.360 His wife asked him, Hey, what's going on with you? Do you 104 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.600 need a doctor, immediately concerned about his health. He explains to her what 105 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.240 he saw, so it confirmed what she saw. She just didn't see all 106 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.839 of it. She just saw the movement moving away. He said he didn't 107 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.680 know what to do with that. He didn't know what to make of it, 108 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.759 what to feel about it, because they'd never had anything like that happen. 109 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.040 So they just start discussing and debating whether or not the grunts they heard 110 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.319 was this thing following them. So they came to the conclusion that yeah, 111 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.199 that's what was falling behind him or paralleling them, or following them out, 112 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.000 whatever you want to call it. Now, as a debated, this way 113 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.079 off, it sounded like miles and miles away they heard a scream. Their 114 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.319 concern was is the scream came from the direction they left the people on the 115 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.759 trail. So immediately they're concerned about other people's safety and they don't know what 116 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.720 to do. They're the camp post. They feel an obligation and a moral 117 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.959 duty to speak out, reach out and inform people. But how hi, 118 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.759 I am your campost. Hey watch out for the bigfoot. It's such a 119 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.360 taboo subject for a lot of people. The acceptance part of it is just 120 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.840 a lot of people just laugh at them, and they realized it. So 121 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.240 what they did was is they went and talked to a park ranger. When 122 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.360 they approached the ranger, they asked them, what's with the screaming? What's 123 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.360 with this thing? We saw blunt straightforward, Hey, we saw harry Man. 124 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.159 What the hell is going on here? Why weren't we informed sooner? 125 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.639 I could have had a heart attack, it could have been ugly. And 126 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.840 the park ranger just looked at him and said, I can't report that. 127 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.799 I can't report it. All I could report is you saw a bear moving 128 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.080 in the woods. It wasn't a bear, it was a bigfoot, It 129 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.159 was a sasquatch. It was moving in the woods. It was looking at 130 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.639 me. I know what I saw. I can't put that on paper. 131 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.600 I can put down you saw a bear in this area and will put up 132 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:18.480 bear warning signs. So that's inevitably what happens a couple nights later of just 133 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.799 quiet, no screaming, no sighting of anything. They're hyper vigilant. Her 134 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.679 husband, in the meantime, went to a local store and purchased a high 135 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.159 caliber, very powerful. He wanted to have protection other than bear spray because 136 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.600 he felt it was not enough to just have bear spray. They were committed 137 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.600 for the summer and they wanted to fulfill their commitment and not leave on bad 138 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.279 terms. But it's not like the Fish and Wildlife trooper didn't believe them, 139 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.559 or the park ranger didn't believe them. It's the fact that they could not 140 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.200 themselves report it. Now, that's very frustrating for people who have witnessed things, 141 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.120 because, for one, it makes the person who's seen it look like 142 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.840 a kook. And if anyone goes to check out a report on it, 143 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.159 it's going to say a bear sighting. You're getting it from all directions. 144 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.879 You're not getting what would be the proper way to put it, the truth, 145 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.600 and the information is not being processed to the people in a direct manner. 146 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.240 It's being filtered through the lens of It was a bear, it was 147 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.679 an unknown bear, it was a large bear, and things of this nature 148 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.799 and not it was a hairy man. It screamed at us, it ran 149 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.159 away, or it through rocksiz none of that stuff. It just doesn't get 150 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.879 reported. After a few nights of nothing, they've calmed down from the incident 151 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.879 and they start laughing about, Wow, we saw sasquatch. Holy shit. 152 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.279 The whole time, they never had an interest, not once. These were 153 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.840 retired academics, you know what I mean. They were retired from the East 154 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.679 Coast what I would call ivy leaguers' your run of the mill community college professor 155 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.159 with some weird outlooks. These were professional people. Their whole lives. They're 156 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.679 all about their academics. So their worldview changed drastically after that. As time 157 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.840 goes on during their visit, they decide, we're not going to stay cooped 158 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.440 up. The husband didn't feel comfortable packing that large caliber rifle with them when 159 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.799 they went to hike, but they decided they weren't gonna let it ruin their 160 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.759 stay there. So they go out, and they go out the same childhead 161 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.639 and they go out to the same area. They're retired, they're not feeble, 162 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.039 but they have their limits. They knew their limits well. So they 163 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.840 got to the same area where they showed the group what direction togo, and 164 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.279 they decided to hang out there and just look around. He brought his camera, 165 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.720 she had the bear spray and a walking stick. So they're sitting there 166 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.080 and he's just taken random pictures of the wildlife, the fawn of the forest, 167 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.039 all all that stuff. And as they're going along on their way back, 168 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.159 they hear the huffing again. They hear it again in the near distance. 169 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.480 The husband, in a fit of anger of being run off from something 170 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.399 he felt he was being run off from and that he loved, he wasn't 171 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.840 gonna stand for it, gets the bear spray from his wife and walks off 172 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.200 the trail a little bit, and she's freaking out, don't you go in 173 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.360 those woods. You stayed the hell out here. You saw it. We're 174 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.360 not messing with it. He said, I wanted to leave us alone. 175 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.200 She talks him out of going into the woods with the bare spray. They 176 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.240 continue back to their RV in a quickened pace, and he's pissed. He's 177 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.159 very upset. So he decides, you know what, we're going to go 178 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.799 post up. If it follows us back, I'm going to shoot it so 179 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.519 it doesn't follow us. And she's saying, you've lost your mind. You 180 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.000 don't shoot this thing. If it follows us back, we will get hold 181 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.600 of the proper authorities for them to come and deal with it. He points 182 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.720 out, look at how we retreated when we brought up our incident of basically 183 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.279 a screen and this thing off in the distance and it left. What are 184 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.559 they going to do with that? So they debate that on our walk back 185 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.360 and they get there. They decide, you know what, we're just gonna 186 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.360 have to go and report it again. Because as they continued on the same 187 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.440 thing happened huffing at him at a little bit of a distance in the trees 188 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.240 and paralleling them on their way out. So they get back and they jump 189 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.840 into their little runabout car and they go over to the ranger's office. When 190 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.720 they get to the rangers office, the park ranger, he had four other 191 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.720 people there and they were all drilling this guy about, Hey, why weren't 192 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.440 we being told about this? Why aren't we being told? So they come 193 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.360 up and they listen. These four separate individuals are in front of this guy 194 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.879 saying, hey, we saw a bigfoot, we saw a sasquatch. What 195 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.720 do we do? The guy goes, I can't take that report. However, 196 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.799 I could tell you at x Y and Z Ridge and x Y and 197 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.559 Z lookout, there's been a lot of reported activity that we can either confirm 198 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.720 or deny or do anything with. In essence, their hands are tied no 199 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.240 matter what you go and tell them. To a certain level, they may 200 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.240 believe you personally, but professionally they cannot act on that. They cannot push 201 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.360 that paperwork forward. It will make it to a certain distance and then it'll 202 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.080 be non existent. So again, they felt disheartened that basically they're going to 203 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.279 have to do it and do it alone. So they go back and the 204 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:13.039 husband's fuming. He's really feeling insulted, insulted with his integrity as a former 205 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.600 academic, that his whole existence would be questioned, even though they didn't question 206 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.559 him. I understand what he means, because to be dismissed is a form 207 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.279 of disrespect. So when they're being dismissed, he took it very personally. 208 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.720 So they get back and they're hanging out and he's really fuming, discussing with 209 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.879 his wife what they want to do. She says she wants to know part 210 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.159 of it, and that maybe they should stop their volunteer contract and leave the 211 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.039 area. They agreed to, and they agreed that at the end of the 212 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.480 week, they give him a couple of days to get a replacement in and 213 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.600 they would go on about their way over the course of the next two nights. 214 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.039 They went right back after they decided that caught the ranger let him know, 215 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.000 Hey, we're no longer going to be chaperoning or hosting the spot. 216 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.759 We'll be leaving in two days. Okay, I understand, I'm sorry, 217 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.960 I can't do more, and that since they're ready to roll, they just 218 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.360 have to close some cupboards and do whatever with the awning on their RV. 219 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.799 So they get all that squared away ready to go, and they stayed real 220 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.639 close to their RV during the course of the next couple days. The two 221 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.039 nights before they left, they each woke up individually of each other. Each 222 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.919 night. They usually have a fold up blinder that sits in front of the 223 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.440 front window so people can't just see in as they're walking by to the trail. 224 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.519 They parked RV's right in the parking area, so whoever's coming in, 225 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.639 they see whoever's coming in, and whoever's going didn't put it up because a 226 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.600 group of younger people had left and they were keeping an eye out the window 227 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.600 for any illegal drinking and illegal activities that kind of thing. Individually, each 228 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.080 one of them at a point in time had woken up to this thing staring 229 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.039 in the front and were locked up with fear and just basically cover their heads 230 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.240 and sucked it up. Same thing with the wife. She seemed the same 231 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.399 thing. And it was a couple of times each night they woke up to 232 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.200 this thing just standing there staring at them. They got out of there, 233 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.840 no incidents, just outside of the staring and the screams and whatnot. There's 234 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:19.159 a lot of people out there that are dismissed. They're discredited, they're basically 235 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:25.080 just disrespected merely for mentioning, Hey, there's something going on that we don't 236 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.039 know, take a look at it to the authorities, and they just, 237 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.559 you know, then down do nothing. I haven't seen them do anything. 238 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.320 Who knows what they're doing in the background. I talk to people a lot. 239 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.080 There's people that no longer go in the woods and hunt. There's mothers 240 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.200 concerned about their sons, and their sons just holding it in and shutting down 241 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.440 at the thought of the topic because of the experience they had from going in 242 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.519 the woods. These weird behaviors, it's like a stalker that feeds on your 243 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.679 fear almost. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that even though they can end 244 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.759 you, they don't. It's like they try to draw every ounce of fear 245 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.400 they can out of you, which is in it of itself very odd. 246 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.960 There's so much more going on we don't understand now. Up here in Alaska. 247 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:17.079 I have a few of their behaviors I feel are pretty concrete as far 248 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.279 as when they see you, they want you to see you. If they 249 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.400 are nearby, they will make it clear to you and come in on you. 250 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:30.720 I expressed everyone again. Go watch that. Keith the sixty six is 251 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.519 metal Detecting Channel out of Fairbanks, Alaska. He's a dentist. He has 252 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.119 a bigfoot little video up. It's about ten minutes long. It's roughly five 253 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:42.720 minutes in house, scream in the distance. Moments later it's closer. It's 254 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.039 throwing things. Then it gets even closer with this god awful screen. Go 255 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.559 check it out. That is a perfect example of what I'm talking about when 256 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.079 it comes to what I feel is classic behavior up here in Alaska. It's 257 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.799 getting dark on me down to my last target. Looks like a little wooden 258 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:14.279 or what's that? Whoa did you guys? Did you guys hear that? 259 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:27.559 Sounds like something howling? Still hear it? Sweet little box boy? That 260 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:45.200 freaked me out. All right, So I'm working my way back. WHOA 261 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:52.160 did you hear that? Oh? Man, something, just do something in 262 00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:37.519 the water right beside me. Oh she's all right, guys, let's get 263 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.400 out of here. I just do something else in the water just now. 264 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.359 All right, I'm finally getting close to the road. That's scared to crap 265 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:57.240 out of me. Let's get back to the house and get ready for the 266 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.799 ROUNDA. Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see will be right back. 267 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:11.480 After these messages, they will make themselves known. Problem is, when they 268 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.319 make themselves known, there's more of them around. There have been a couple 269 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.279 of reports I have that it seemed that they were a solo. I wasn't 270 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.279 there. I don't sit there and go to every site of whatever happens and 271 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.400 try to investigate and prove disproved. I already know they exist. I've known 272 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.920 since I was a little kid, same with everyone else I grew up with. 273 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:37.640 There's not a question for us. I'm not out to seek evidence when 274 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.240 I go film the documentary. Trust me, if there's evidentiary footage to be 275 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.559 had, I'm going to get it. If I come across tracks, I'm 276 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.920 going to record them. The upside down trees, I'm going to record that, 277 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.400 But I'm not going to research. I'm actually going to attempt to get 278 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:59.720 some compelling footage. Honestly, the Niu Yakuk River. I'm strongly confident in 279 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:06.200 the fact that there will definitely be a lot of evidence right there in about 280 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.039 eighty five percent of the encounters I hear about the nu Yakuk, they all 281 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.160 happen within twenty four hours of being on that river. Our incident was less 282 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.920 than a handful of hours of getting there. We were there a couple hours 283 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.160 before dark and then the shit went down. My cousin Nickola Chris, same 284 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.200 thing. They were there a couple hours shit was going down. I don't 285 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.920 know, it's different. I'm hoping that with the interactive map at the website, 286 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.920 you can zoom in and see areas coming to life as far as how 287 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.960 much activity is going on in those areas and the approximate date time type of 288 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:44.680 thing. But there's just a large portion in the Brisko Bay Watershed, and 289 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.839 I'm looking forward to getting to that documentary. Things are in the works. 290 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.839 No offense to anybody. They asked certain questions about whatever I'm doing, as 291 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.279 far as how I make my videos, how I present them, or whatever 292 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.599 I do me. I'm not going to change anything. No offense by that. 293 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.240 I didn't start this to please people. I started it to inform people. 294 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.240 Take no offense to that. It's just if there's certain quirks I have 295 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.519 that you may not care for don't know what to tell you. I wanted 296 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.960 to share some tidbits from my night on the Nuyakuk. The things that bother 297 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:22.319 me is after I shot through the wall, the place shifted and the scream 298 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.480 happened, and I was sitting there for hours. There could have been moments 299 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.680 they were looking in the window at me. I don't know. I was 300 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.920 zoned out on the floor, contemplating, with no one communicating with me. 301 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.240 It was really lonely. When you're resigning yourself to death, when you're literally 302 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.119 say okay, I know I'm not gonna make it out of this, and 303 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.240 know that you're just not, it's a different thing. It's really hard to 304 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.039 put into words. It's freeing in a way. Because I wasn't trembling hard 305 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.279 anymore. It allowed me to focus more. I got more angry, I 306 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.240 got more in the mindset of Okay, if you're gonna get me, you're 307 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.640 gonna get me, and I'm gonna do my damn just to to get one 308 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.640 of you. But in those moments, a lot of people they don't do 309 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.079 as well on the other side as I have. I'm not special. I 310 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.160 just knew. Had I not went back out in the woods. I never 311 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.480 would. I'd be somewhere in the concrete jungle right now. I can be 312 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.759 hyper vigilant, but in Alaska you got to be vigilant period. There's a 313 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.880 couple resident black bears that go between Hatcher's passed behind us here are well behind 314 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.599 your field of view. Actually where I'm sitting, I've seen the same bear 315 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.960 about four times over the last ten years. Not often that you see it, 316 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.599 but enough to know that it's around and you may come across it. 317 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:44.400 I don't show cwsticks mass accelerators, so to speak, on here, nor 318 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.680 will I. But understand I'm not out here in naked trust that some of 319 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.799 these things I contemplate. I don't know if you guys will find it interesting 320 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.039 or not. I usually don't share because it's something I dwell on, and 321 00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.079 therefore I don't know if it has any value to others as far as what 322 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.559 they may think or if they even want to hear it. But I just 323 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.480 want to share these things. I'm backed up on sharing encounters or whatever. 324 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.799 I have a bunch more of those coming. But the whole point of this 325 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.240 channel is not just to share with you guys these encounters. It's the getting 326 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.160 out and talking to the people. I already have a few of the interviews 327 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:23.480 filmed for the documentary, excellent interviews. I have my cousin lining up some 328 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:30.720 other ones from elders from different incorporated areas or different Native corporation areas. I'm 329 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:37.039 trying to line out not just views from the Bristol Bay area, but elders 330 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.720 from other portions of the state as well, because we all, regardless white, 331 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.119 Native, irrelevant if you live in Alaska, we all share this whether 332 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.119 we want to or not. It doesn't matter what you believe, It just 333 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:55.160 doesn't matter. These things happen. So I'm having a hard time dwelling on 334 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.640 what I originally wanted to share, So I'll share with you an experience from 335 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.480 winter ninety four. In ninety five Mannakotak Trail snow machine trail. There was 336 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.119 a group about ten of us all ripping around on brand new player of snow 337 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.799 machines. I had the buddies with the four forty super Sports little trail rippers, 338 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.200 and then you had the rmks of course got to have the arm case, 339 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:22.240 and one of my buddies had the Indie Storm nine hundred CC players just 340 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.880 came out of there it was a monster, lots of fun hauled ass. 341 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.920 Well, we're all ripping. I was on a four to forty supersport little 342 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.440 Indie, just a little lightweight sled, real fun for playing around. So 343 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:40.440 we're on our way back from Mannakotak. This certain portion of the trail splits 344 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:45.359 off. We usually just ride the open Muskeg tundra and rip around. There 345 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.200 was this huge hill. It was all covered with trees, and I knew 346 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.279 there was a shortcut trail because some of the stronger sleds were up ahead of 347 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.720 me, and I knew if I took this trail I could probably at least 348 00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.960 catch up for a little bit. No one wanted to be left behind, 349 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.559 not in the dark, in the winter, way out in the middle of 350 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.759 nowhere. Trust me, wolves and shit, there's all sorts of dangers. 351 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.880 Harryman was not even a thought at that point. It is, but not, 352 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.359 oh my god, I might see a harry Man if I go in 353 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.000 the woods. It's not that kind of mentality. So cruising along, I'm 354 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.400 hitting these ripples in the trail. It's just like a washboard. I didn't 355 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.440 realize it as I was bumping along, but I hit the kill switch on 356 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.200 the handlebars and the machine died. Man, So I'm sitting there just yanking 357 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.160 on this thing. I felt so dumb. But during this time I was 358 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.640 yanking on the court, I could hear off in the distance all my buddies 359 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.440 Mam just tearing on out of there. I figured at some point they would 360 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.279 realize, hey, you know right in in the group, let's double back, 361 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.119 posse up, see where he's at. I knew they would eventually do 362 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.400 that, But as I was sitting there cranking, trying to figure it out, 363 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.599 I was digging my flashlight out of the little bel crow backstrap on the 364 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.960 seat where low tool kit and shits kept. Get the flash light out, 365 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.720 and I'm looking under the cowling and I'm not noticing anything, but off in 366 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.079 the distance, I hear a wolf howl, very loud, wolf out, 367 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.880 natural wolf howl. I knew there were wolves in the area. They had 368 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.200 been eating people's animals out by Connectingneck road going towards the hospital from Dillingham, 369 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.680 so I knew they were in the area. I was armed. I had 370 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:23.519 one of those inner tech nine nine millimeter machine pistols. Got it from a 371 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:26.720 friend who knows people. At the time they were really hard to come by, 372 00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:32.000 and I had to sing in remote Alaska getting strange looks, trust me, 373 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.759 but I had that with me. As I'm sitting there trying to figure 374 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.920 this thing out, the wolf howls are getting closer as far as being around 375 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:41.680 me and what have you. I let off a couple shots. I had 376 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.799 a thirty two round stick mag and he just a couple of rounds didn't stop 377 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.279 the howling from getting closer. Seemed like it encouraged them to come and check 378 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.519 me out. So as I'm sitting I'm trying to flashlight around me and I'm 379 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.200 trying to figure out what's going on. I shut the cowling. I sit 380 00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.839 down and I light a cigarette and I'm smoking this cigarette and I'm contemplating, 381 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.759 I don't have to shoot wolves out here, and I can't hear my friends 382 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:07.400 coming back yet. So as I'm sitting there contemplating, you know what I'm 383 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.279 going to do next, I happened to glance at that little starter kill button 384 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.960 and I felt so now I might pop it up one pull I was fired 385 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.920 back up. I was like yeah. So I sit there and I finished 386 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.440 my cigarette real quick, calming down because my nerves were a little rattle, 387 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.240 like you know, I thought I was gonna have to walk out in the 388 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.480 dark, you know, with the batteries dying in my flashlight, wolves howling 389 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.599 around me. It's not a good feeling. I was scared about it, 390 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.680 but it was like, I'm you know, I'll shoot them first anyway, 391 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.880 So I take my time after the cigarette getting out of this trail, and 392 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.880 as the snow machines running, they're not quiet as a little four to forty 393 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.319 super Sport had some kind of tune can in it, but it was real 394 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.519 peppy wing, you know, that kind of sound. As I'm going along, 395 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.440 I could hear the wolves still howling in the distance. Now what bothered 396 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.640 me about this and why I'm sharing it. It's not about the wolves or 397 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.279 the snow machine dying. As this trail is coming out of the tree line, 398 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.640 it snakes back and forth left and right, not quite like switchbacks, 399 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.319 but what someone had carved out, and people just followed it as the path 400 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.240 the least resistance because it was densely forested, and anyone who goes snow machining 401 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.680 knows you got to know how to maneuver a sled in order to get through 402 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.720 some shit. It was an intermediate course let's call it for snow machining, 403 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.720 and it had a slightly downgrade going back down towards the tundra. It was 404 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.759 approximately three hundred yards of this shit. So as I'm boondocking back and forth 405 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.880 gently slowly, I was moving, so I wasn't concerned about the wolves as 406 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.960 much. They never left my mind, but I wasn't scared. Now as 407 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.680 I'm coming down, it turns into a straight stretch that just shoots out onto 408 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.920 the flats the tundra. As I'm coming down, that just at the very 409 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.039 edge of my beams, big black shadow, and I got real low because 410 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.799 I was worried about whatever it was going to closeline me off or snatch me 411 00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.920 off as I went by. So I got as small as I could and 412 00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.000 just went white open, hit the tundra, spit out, went about two 413 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.079 three hundred yards, just hauling ass. I didn't want to look back, 414 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.000 Honestly, I didn't want to look back. But then I hit a huge 415 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:15.480 turnaround bank came right back the same direction. I was brazen by having thirty 416 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.119 rounds in that stick bag. And as I'm slowly turning the machine to use 417 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.000 the high beam to light up the trees. I saw the eye shine probably 418 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:27.200 about thirty yards up into the trees and obscured. I could see one eye, 419 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.799 and then both, and then one eye and then none, then two 420 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.839 eyes, that kind of thing. And as I'm doing this, I would 421 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.920 circle around big to keep distance between me and that tree line. It was 422 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.759 a nine milimeter I knew it would make a lot of noise, but I 423 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.799 was curious. I was trying to see what I was actually seeing, because 424 00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.640 all I saw was a dark figure and that eye shine. There was tree 425 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.920 shaking that came as I'm doing my thing, circling around trying to get a 426 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.920 better view of it. My buddies are making their way back. I can 427 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.799 hear them coming. Now. I'm sitting in an open spot of tundra. 428 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.000 I have this wooded hill in front of me, which is basically this huge 429 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.640 butte covered in trees. It's like an island in the middle of the tundra. 430 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.960 And off to my right, on the opposite side of the flats the 431 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.799 tundra, there's another hill that goes up with very similar but it has a 432 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.960 continuous tree line that goes back off in a different direction. My buddies are 433 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.839 coming from behind me from around the front end of the stand of trees off 434 00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:29.799 to my right across the flats. Now, as I'm listening to them coming, 435 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.599 I circled around again because I could tell they were getting closer, but 436 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.000 there's still a distance away. Now as they circle around and I'm coming back 437 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.519 to be lined up with that trail that goes back to the switchbacks that came 438 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.039 out of middle of the trail, it was squatted down. It was squatted 439 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:51.359 down and doing a very weird kind of back and forth sway thing like it 440 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.920 was contemplating what it was going to do. I would circle around because I 441 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.880 didn't want anything coming up from behind me. I was out in the open 442 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.559 tundra, but still they moved fast. With the sound of the snow machine, 443 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:06.240 something could come up behind me without me even realizing it. So I 444 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.839 circle around again. As I'm circling around and come back and the beams going 445 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.680 towards it, it's standing up now and moving off to my left, to 446 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.440 the left of the trail. Just then my buddies come around the corner screaming 447 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:21.519 towards me. They come flying past, circling around. Hey, what happened? 448 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:23.160 You got to go? I told him. There's a Harry Man. 449 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.519 They all laugh. I'm like, you can laugh if you want. It's 450 00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:30.119 right up there. It just walk to the left of the trail. So 451 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.480 one of the guys with us circles around and goes, whoop rips right up 452 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:38.000 in that trail. No sooner than he hit up into that trail, the 453 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:44.039 trees off to our left just erupted with this scream, went into the trees, 454 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:47.799 up into the trail all of a sudden, was popping out on not 455 00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:52.000 a trail, he made his own trail, because I guess what he told 456 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.960 us. When he was going up in the trail, he saw it run 457 00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.920 out of his peripheral and the headlight lamp lit enough of it running away. 458 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:04.759 He started turning, and then that's when shit, he repted. He could 459 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.039 hear it over his snow machine when he was holding that pig wide open. 460 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:12.359 So he popped out and we got the hell out of there. These things 461 00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.680 happen randomly. It's not like they're behind every tree and every time you go 462 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.000 out you're going to have something happen. Man, I wish I had more 463 00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.960 answers, but hopefully we understand something by the end of this. Right this 464 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.960 being Hatcher Pass where I'm standing. In the wintertime, there's a lot of 465 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.960 snow and all these trees will be pushed down with all that snow. We 466 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.480 had come up here when the kids were little, and we would sled down 467 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.559 to the road down below and then curry the kids back up. A couple 468 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:45.519 of reports from this area. The ones that stand out are there's the I 469 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.000 think it's gold Mint trailhead down the way here a little lower in the past. 470 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.799 What was shared with me was this guy had taken his twelve year old 471 00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:00.000 son to kind of learn the basics of hiking. He got his son lined 472 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:05.680 out with a backpack and some hiking boots and stuff. The trailhead actually cuts 473 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.039 back into that valley right back in there. I'm not hiking that today. 474 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:15.599 He gets his boy and they're out. They make it back about three miles 475 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.960 and as you can see the train, it slopes up steeply on each side, 476 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.960 so you can easily see how it's just beautiful back in there. So 477 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:28.360 he's pointing out certain things for his boy, kind of giving him the heads 478 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.239 up on bear tracks and whatever else, and for the most part they're having 479 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:36.719 a great time. You can see the brush here, it's even heavier down 480 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.400 over there. All this stuff's it looks really kind of smooth, but all 481 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.960 that brush is taller than me easily, I mean, all through here. 482 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.360 He was pointing out these variations and how to read where the creeks feeding into 483 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.639 the other creek, and just a little simple stuff. And as they're doing 484 00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.400 that, in one of these small little gullies here, they heard us scream. 485 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.920 He said, it sounded like a woman being murdered. So him being 486 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.400 armed in him with this boy, he was leary, but he wanted to 487 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.840 help. So he's like, come on, son, we're going to go 488 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:14.360 make sure this person's okay. They back down the trail a little ways and 489 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.360 find a little offshoot trail and figure that was the one. They start back 490 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:23.119 up in that thing, and he immediately within one hundred feet he realized he 491 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:28.719 shouldn't be there. It was not where he wanted to be. So he 492 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:30.679 decides, once he gets up in there a little ways that he's not going 493 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:35.840 to continue. He just felt something right. So they back out of that 494 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.199 little trail and they get back onto the main trail, and he was talking 495 00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:42.440 to his son about, hey, we're going to have to cut it short 496 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.320 and go get some help for this lady. Now, what he didn't realize 497 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:52.360 at the time was it wasn't a lady. It was approximately ten and a 498 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.159 half feet tall, and it came barreling down that trail they were just on. 499 00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.320 When it came running down the trail, he froze up. He put 500 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.719 his boy behind him, and it ran past them. It runs past in 501 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.840 the trail, coming down the trail. As it runs past there, about 502 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:13.320 ten fifteen feet away, it clears the trail and starts heading back up this 503 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.679 other side of the gully over there, and they hear it thrashing through the 504 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.960 trees and everything. And the whole time, he's got his gun out and 505 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.400 he's trying to explain to his son, be quiet, stay low, be 506 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:29.000 quiet. His boy is just hunkered down. He's got tears streaming. All 507 00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.280 this happens in seconds. All they saw was a blur of an upright being 508 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:37.159 and that scream. Now being fifteen twenty feet away, I'm just walked a 509 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.079 short distance. But if I continue, you can see how it gets thick 510 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:44.559 here. All this stuff is way taller than me. So they're in a 511 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.599 similar situation. They got all this dense stuff around them. They're up in 512 00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:52.400 a little valley and this thing is tearing up to their right, going uphill, 513 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:57.079 going through stuff just like this material across the way there. So as 514 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.400 he's sitting there trying to calm a sundown, keep himself calm and listen back 515 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:07.239 up the trail behind him about he guestimated about one hundred feet just out of 516 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.960 sight, there was movement and it was big, heavy movement. Now heading 517 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.920 back out because he had to go past the area this thing just ran by. 518 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.920 When he got past that point where it ran by, he said he 519 00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:25.679 could see a trail through the brush cutting up. He said, nothing was 520 00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.599 broken, but you could tell it was hearted. It had been just parted 521 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.880 out of the way. Now he gets his boy past that point and he 522 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.159 makes it back down to the trailhead. There's another group of people coming up, 523 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.760 and he warned him and told him what was going on. So he 524 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.719 was openly mocked by this older guy who said, I've been here for however 525 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:50.920 many years, been coming up here, blah blah blah, telling him he 526 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.239 was full of shit. Well, you know when things like this happen, 527 00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:59.719 which they happened, man, I've been getting emails like crazy It's aggravating because 528 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:07.400 so quick to dismiss anything that happens and they call it a farser bullshit or 529 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.079 whatever. But damn fortunate to live in Alaska, that's for sure. Something 530 00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.559 I wanted to touch on is all these people that mock and scoff at people 531 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.960 who have had these encounters inciting No if there wasn't such a stigma or oh 532 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.519 that guy's a weirdo or crazy man or whatever, and it was just open, 533 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.440 just think of all the knowledge we would gain from people coming forward with 534 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.039 whatever they've dealt with. I mean, man, I got relatives that I 535 00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:39.000 know have been through far worse scary shit than I have ever been through, 536 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:43.599 and they just won't talk about it. They won't come forward, even if 537 00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:49.400 within a family that knows of their existence. Multiple accounts throughout history of encounters. 538 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.039 Just I don't know why this particular topic makes people shut down like that. 539 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:59.400 It's just mind boggling. You would dank they would be chopping at the 540 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:04.159 bit to tell somebody to share what the hell's going on. It just makes 541 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.639 no sense to me. So to touch on Eric taking his son. When 542 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.119 they got back to that parking area, he was still holding his firearm, 543 00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.800 and he was getting mocked for that too. When something like that happens and 544 00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:22.400 you get freaked out, you're not necessarily thinking the clearest. So if you 545 00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.679 got something in your hand, it's in your hand. That's all there is 546 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.159 to it. You're not even consciously thinking about it, which with the firearm, 547 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.039 that does make it dangerous. However, the guy that was giving him 548 00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:37.000 grief wasn't there when that thing screamed, and then they heard it run down 549 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.079 the trail and run past and go off the other way. It's a pretty 550 00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.960 kind of a benign encounter, but it just goes to show you never know. 551 00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.320 You know that Oldzheimer was telling him, you know, oh, I've 552 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.199 been out here for a bajillion years. It ain't not never happened. Blah 553 00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:57.039 blah blah. He got these clowns that had never dealt with anything in their 554 00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.159 life, passing judgment on people.
