My dog. 19 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.519 We're flying through there, over the tree. I don't know how it 20 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.959 did it? Okay, Damn, I'm really confused. All I saw was 21 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.799 my dog coming over the fence and they would dead once you hit the grill. 22 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.560 I didn't see any cars. All I saw was my dog coming over 23 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:47.640 the fence. Sat, what are you reporting? We got some wonder or 24 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:57.640 something crawling around out here? Did you see what it was? It was 25 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.319 enough out here looking him new to window now and I don't see anything. 26 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.840 I don't want to go outside this point you Kara, New York. Hello, 27 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.120 hit the boddy out here? What went on out there? It's thought 28 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.879 of a bit just about sixty nine. I don't know easy out there. 29 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.840 Yeah, I'm walking right head. Oh Greeting's just fread in Alaska. Wanted 30 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.840 to share with you guys today. Something conveyed to me from John o'quillock. 31 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.000 He's an Oopiac. He's from up north. He specified what tribe, but 32 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.879 he's self proclaimed black sheep asked me not to Divulgingia that John is in his 33 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.159 seventies. When he left further up north, he came down further south to 34 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.879 the Bethel area for a brief little bit, then went to the Bristol Bay 35 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.840 area. Where he was trapping was just on the outskirts of the wood Tick 36 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.879 Chick State Park. It would be to the northwest side. He had trapped 37 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.719 there for about fifteen years, not a problem. Knew his environment like the 38 00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.599 back of his hand. This guy is about five foot nothing. He's a 39 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.199 stout old dude. During his trapping fora he was primarily targeting Martin. There 40 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.240 was a price for Martin, he said. It was about ten years in 41 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.080 he started noticing in this one part of his run up in this valley he 42 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.439 would see someone up there watching him. Only when it was sunny out, 43 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.719 never when there was cloud cover, but only when it was sunny. He 44 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.280 would see it silhouetted up there, this guy. He assumed it was a 45 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.759 big guy in fur. He would try to speak to him, try to 46 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.000 get his attention, and just figured it's just a recluse trapper. I'll leave 47 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.159 him alone. He isn't bothering me, No big deal. Live and let 48 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.919 live. You know, when he was out checking his traps. Now you 49 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.360 have to imagine he's in a valley much bigger than this little one behind me 50 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.080 here and down much larger, and it had the flats in between the two 51 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.919 tree lines. So there is basically tundra, a marshy tundra muskeg. He 52 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.159 had had his Bryan staggered to each side of the woodline or you know, 53 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.960 across this valley and it was approximately half mile wide. Now, as he 54 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.479 would go through, he did it all on snowshoe. He didn't have a 55 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.959 dog sled team or snow machine. Hardcore man dedicated because to go ten miles 56 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.879 in the snow, work your trap line and then hike that back, you 57 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.759 know. And understand he had a spike camp, but a little cabin at 58 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.240 the end of his run, so he could overnight and then go back the 59 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.800 next day, wait a couple of days, and then go back through. 60 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.079 So this one particular day he had gone through and he knows he was skunked, 61 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.279 but all his traps were set off and he was like, man, 62 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.600 that don't make no sense. This is a highly productive area. His traps 63 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.279 were sprung and they were just hanging from the set. So he's in his 64 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.600 little spike cabin, which is just a little nothing of a mound of moss 65 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.240 covered logs and whatnot, just basically keep warm overnight, nothing special, no 66 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.759 windows, just basically a hole covered moss and sticks like a den. Basically 67 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.160 just big enough for him to sleep in. He didn't require much, like 68 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:11.759 I said, hardcore. So the following morning he was up extra early wintertime 69 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.399 up here, it stays fairly dark, ain't a good while of the day, 70 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.360 but he knows the area, He's well versed in it. He'd done 71 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.959 that walking in dark many times. So he set on out back. As 72 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.720 he came through the day before, he had reset his traps, was using 73 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.480 some beaver meat. So as he was going back through, he decided he 74 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.839 was going to stop and check a couple of his traps, just to make 75 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.040 sure they were still set, not messed with, you know, this kind 76 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.839 of thing. So as he's going back forth, like I said, he 77 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.959 had sets on both sides of the valley, so he was literally leap frogging 78 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.360 across the valley, back across, checking his shit out, dedicated, determined, 79 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.360 you know, he's going to do his thing. So he gets to 80 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.319 the third set, and he noticed it's set off and it's dangling, and 81 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.959 he's pissed off. But there's some fur in the trap, so he's like, 82 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.040 oh, okay, I had one and it must have barely got it 83 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.399 okay, So he left that alone, reset it real quick, continued on 84 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.279 his way. Now, his main cabin isn't very big at this time. 85 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.560 It was literally, he said, eight foot by ten foot sleeping area, 86 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.959 little stove. Basically that was it. No windows, good sturdy door, 87 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.000 well built, but not big. So as he was within oh what he 88 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.160 say, it was within a quarter mile of his cabin. Still dark out, 89 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.360 dark Alaska dark that time of year, it felt like he was being 90 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.920 followed. So he looked back and he noticed in the tree line of dark 91 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.399 figure tucked back, and he recognized the silhouette from what he would see up 92 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.519 on the ridge whenever it was sunny. And he figured, okay, I 93 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.079 got some weirdo kin kind of eyeballing me. Maybe he's raiding my furs and 94 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.000 hopes of scaring me and running me off. So I'll teach him a lesson. 95 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.480 I'll stalk him. So he gets to his cabin, he grabs his 96 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.120 rifle. He carried to twenty two just to dispatch a live Martin or something 97 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.920 like that. It was wintertime, so there was no bears out. They're 98 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.759 all hibernating, so he wasn't concerned with that. He never had problem with 99 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.160 wolves, so he'd never packed a gun for wolves. So he got his 100 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.079 main hunting rifle at thirty out six, which has always been tried and true 101 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.199 in the woods around here outside of a few occasions. So he grabs his 102 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.439 rifle, grabs ammo, and goes, you know, I'm gonna go show 103 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.120 this guy, teach him a lesson, maybe kick his ass, teach him 104 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.240 to mess with people's livelihoods. So he heads out. As he goes back 105 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.879 to the last place he saw him, he cuts off trail a distance from 106 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.360 where he saw it so he could backtrack behind and flank basically the area and 107 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.800 see where this guy is watching from now. As soon as he got off 108 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.439 of his trail, his well packed trail. He'd been doing this every other 109 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:54.480 day for years in the wintertime. He got off his trail and noticed there 110 00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:01.759 was a parallel trail about fifty yards into the trees from his trail. In 111 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.120 the dark. It was still dark out. He couldn't make out. It 112 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.639 looked like snowshoe tracks packed trail. So he was going along following this trail. 113 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.920 On this trail he's following, which was not his. He noticed from 114 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.879 the trail there was little offshoots that would go down to a trap. This 115 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.519 person had parallel tracks a trail and trails down to the traps, so he 116 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.519 assumed it had been watching and following for quite some time. With how well 117 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.399 packed this trail is, because you pack a trail in Alaska and the snow 118 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.480 the first time through is going to be soft, second time through is going 119 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.639 to be pretty soft. Then it has to freeze and you get a hard 120 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.200 packed trail after a while. Well, this trail was hard packed, and 121 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.840 it had snowed a little bit the night before, so he would have easily 122 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.080 been able to tell if it was a fresh trail. He continues on, 123 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.159 and it's really sparked his curiosity why this person had so much interest in him. 124 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.039 It wasn't too salty to get freaked out by it. He wanted to 125 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.919 fight, be honest with you his words. Note, He goes, I 126 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.600 wanted to fight the sum bitch. So he goes along. John's staring at 127 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.639 the ground because it's getting lighter. He's noticing toe marks in these snowshoe tracks, 128 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.600 and immediately he stopped once he notices the toes, and so he gets 129 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.399 a little closer look, and he is feeling the contours of the track. 130 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.320 And as he's doing that, he hears some weird noise across the little valley 131 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.960 on the opposite side. So he sits there listening and it sounded like someone 132 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.480 speaking Yupik, So he yells out in Yupik chamai, which is hello, 133 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.039 commences us to try to conversate with whoever was across the way, telling him, 134 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.639 hey, you know, we need to talk. I need to know 135 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.159 what you're doing here. So he decides he's going to break from that trail 136 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.240 and go across and confront this person and get to the bottom of it. 137 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.840 Now, he's still got these toes that he's plotting in the back of his 138 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.279 mind. Wasn't scared off, was aware of the hairy man, but wasn't 139 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.799 putting the two together because he had never personally saw one. Dismissed it. 140 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.799 He got across the valley. Since he was on that side, he decided 141 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.559 to check a couple of his sets. He got over there and sure enough 142 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.840 they were sprung. No beaver meat in the trap, nothing in the set. 143 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.399 Found a similar trail leading up that he followed and it was almost identical 144 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.720 to the one across the valley about fifty yards back, and it paralleled his 145 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.000 tracks. So, being unnerved by this, which I would be too, 146 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.480 he decided he wanted to just go back to his cabin. He felt he 147 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.240 needed to get his mind right on what was going on because none of it 148 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.759 was adding up to him. So as he gets back to his cabin, 149 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.399 he noticed on the back side of his cabin as he's walking up what looked 150 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.320 like fresh snowsuit tracks. So he decides, well, damn it, this 151 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.440 guy is stalking me. Now he's got it out for me, is what 152 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.480 he was feeling in his mind. So he hikes back up to where he's 153 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.159 seen the tracks right there in the snow fresh toes, and he realized what 154 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.399 he was dealing with is the Harryman. But what bothered him is it was 155 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.600 three different sized tracks, none of them small, but each one distinct. 156 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.039 One only had four toes like it was missing the toe, very unique features 157 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.960 that he was able to discern three sets. So now he's really kind of 158 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.679 freaked out because he's out in the middle of nowhere. He won't be getting 159 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.600 picked up until the spring by another trapping buddy who flies in and traps and 160 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.960 whatnot, and he was a good week and a half from a resupply. 161 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.440 So he figured, Okay, I'm going to have to take measures to protect 162 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.960 myself. He basically gave up his trapping season, which is a very, 163 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.000 very hard thing to do, but he realized there was something more than just 164 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.480 money going on. So as he commenced this to get his mind wrapped around, 165 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.320 you know, his trapping season being done for that year, he kind 166 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.240 of sits in his cabin. He had a candlelight. He was contemplating all 167 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.480 the hairy man stories he heard. He doesn't ever remember here and a good 168 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.679 one. You know. He grew more and more concerned as he was hearing 169 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.639 this U pick like gibberish. It wasn't you pick though, pick like I've 170 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.480 discussed it before. There's a lot of youth pick kind of annunciations and whatnot 171 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.360 in the language. He's just dumbfounded. He doesn't know exactly what he wants 172 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.799 to do about the whole situation. In his mind, he's well protected, 173 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.799 he's got his firearm, he's got plenty of grub. He could technically, 174 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.120 outside of needing to go get some water from the frozen over creek that he 175 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.840 had a little chopped out hole that he would just reopen when he needed fresh 176 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.320 water to boil up and use. Outside of that, he could technically stay 177 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.799 in his cabin. So since he had about five days worth of water in 178 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.519 there, that's what he opted to do. Now there's there's no windows in 179 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.960 this cabin. Five days, he just sat there reading Louis Lamore books, 180 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.159 just kind of sitting to himself, contemplating. You know. Meanwhile, every 181 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.919 night he would hear noises get closer and closer to his cabin. He didn't 182 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.159 like that. On the fourth night, these things were literally around his cabin, 183 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.840 pushing on it, checking it for weaknesses, is what he assumed. 184 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.639 Now. He was not the timid type. He's still not. You know, 185 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.639 he's in his seventies. He's salty as hell. So he decides, 186 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.120 you know what, I've had it. As soon as I hear them near 187 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.759 again, I'm going out and I'm gonna shoot one of these things and put 188 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.120 an end to this. Fifth morning, when he was going outside, he 189 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.279 heard a grunt from above him, so one of these things was on top 190 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.159 of his cabin. He steps out, looks back, and it jumps off 191 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.720 the back and runs off into the trees. So he gets around to a 192 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.799 vantage point and fires a shot into the trees. He wasn't aiming to hit 193 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.159 it, he just wanted to make some noise in that direction and drive it 194 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:54.480 off. As he shoots, assessing what to do, he hears two more 195 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.159 sets of running away sounds from different directions, so he's contemplating, well, 196 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.559 shit, they were near and I only seen the one. So he sits 197 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.799 there for a while outside his cabin, trying to figure out should I go 198 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.200 in, Should I follow this thing and kill one of them and show him 199 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.080 that I'm serious? And he thought better of it. So he's going back 200 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.519 into his cabin, and he stops just before he goes to open the door 201 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.240 because he notices something very out of place just at the tree line, which 202 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.639 was approximately thirty yards away, and it dawned on him how many times he 203 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.720 had seen something similar over the years that he just dismissed as just an anomaly 204 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.399 in the trees. But it was a hairy man. It blended in almost 205 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.919 seamlessly, except in that particular light, it had a different tinge to the 206 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.159 hair, and that's what gave it away. That's what he was able to 207 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.559 zone in on. So he said, okay, I recognize what this is. 208 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.399 So he puts a beat on it shoots the damn thing. Boom, 209 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.759 the scream happens, a whole bunch of thrashing off into the trees. He 210 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.480 immediately be lines right behind it as fast as he could, Like I said, 211 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.399 he's five put nothing. He can only move so fast in the snow. 212 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:09.360 But he was determined. He wanted to kill one and skin it and 213 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.840 hang the skin on top of his cabin. That was his plant. So 214 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.080 he goes after it, and as he's just getting to that tree line, 215 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.440 he hears movement back behind from the direction he shot at the one that ran 216 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.159 behind his cabin. So they're paralleling him catching up on his right hand side 217 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.759 at the tree line. Now, as he stops just short of the tree 218 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.600 line, he's looking for blood sign and he saw a little bit, so 219 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.639 he's like, okay, you know they can die. He's checking the blood 220 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.879 sign and he hears the movement coming on his right hand side to the trees, 221 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.519 and just as the noise he hears thrashing from the one he shot off 222 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.919 in the distance going up the ridge stopped making noise. He heard the other 223 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.200 one's kind of I guess catch up from the sounds of it. So he's 224 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.799 contemplating following. He figures it bleeds, it'll die, and he was thinking, 225 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.440 I'll kill all three of these things. Just as he starts to follow 226 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.000 a barrage, a shit is being thrown through the trees, knocking off trees 227 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.879 and nearly hitting him. These things were chucking. He thought they were rocks, 228 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.200 but they were landing in the snow and he couldn't really tell for sure, 229 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.759 but it was heavy, so he assumed rocks. He turns around heads 230 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:25.279 back to his cabin for safety because he can't see them, they can see 231 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.679 him, and they're pretty damn accurate with their rocks. He felt they were 232 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:33.679 trying to get him to move away, so he took the hint and retreated 233 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.200 to his cabin. Now this is in the morning. He literally sat there 234 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.399 for two more days and nights with these things, every once in a while, 235 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:48.600 pelting the little cabin with rocks and all sorts of stick and tree Debristhe 236 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.159 he says, about a week into the hole, staying in the cabin day 237 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:57.240 and night. It was about a week into that when he heard his resupply 238 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.039 coming. When he hears his buddy's plane in the distance, he doesn't immediately 239 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.319 run outside. He does some testing. He took some fur pelts, wrapped 240 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:14.200 them in a bundle of kindling to make a little wad of a fur pelt 241 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.880 kindling batch and opens the door and flings it out into the snow, just 242 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.839 as a distraction to see if anything went after it, or do anything at 243 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.200 it or whatever. And sure enough, as soon as it impacted the snow 244 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:33.200 through it, he heard movement on the roof. So he shoots through. 245 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.920 I mean it's just wood and moss. So he spam, you know, 246 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.960 shoots through. Here's scurrying, a bunch of running around. Goes outside and 247 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.279 is determined. Now he's pissed. He's really pissed, and he commences to 248 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:51.759 looking for a target. Sees nothing. Everything stops for the next two three 249 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.440 days, dead silence, No more rock throwing at his cab and none of 250 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.359 that shit. Just dead quiet every day. It stayed that way up until 251 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.599 his friend came landed in the little valley on the little, you know, 252 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.720 packed air strip they have. As he goes out to get his resupply, 253 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.200 he tells his friend, Hey, I think I'm gonna call it a trip. 254 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.559 His friend was like, oh, you got that many furs, And 255 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.279 he was like, no, I got enough. I got enough. Let's 256 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.480 just we'll just call it good. If you help me load up my stuff, 257 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.319 I'll go out with you. Early pilot friend and fellow trapper was like, 258 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.279 okay, didn't question him. He's a grown boy. He knows what 259 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.680 he wants to do. They get back over to the cabin and his buddy's 260 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.519 helping him with stuff. He sees the track. He sees one of the 261 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.359 tracks that was actually very fresh because it was over John's tracks when he walked 262 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.240 out to meet him. So they literally had tracks over his tracks for that 263 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.119 he had just made. So it was real nearby. And when his trapping 264 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.079 buddies saw that, he goes, get your shit, hurry, hurry, 265 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:53.680 and John's like, whoa, what a he's talking? He's look at this 266 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.599 track, man, We got to get out of here. His trapper buddy 267 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.640 was far more concerned than John. John wanted to fight and all that, 268 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.799 you know, but he you know, went along with his friend and was 269 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.599 like, oh yeah, okay, let's go. They gather up his shit, 270 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.960 they get the hell out of there. He never trapped in that area 271 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.119 again. He did other places with no problem, but he trapped there for 272 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.799 a long time without a single incident, which just goes to say, you 273 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.119 know, there's a lot of people that'll say, oh, I've been out 274 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.680 in the woods for twenty plus years, never had an issue. Well, 275 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.920 yeah, chances are you won't. But when you do, appreciate you guys 276 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.599 being here. More to come till the next one. Today, I wanted 277 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.359 to share with you an incident that happened approximately two weeks ago at the Granite 278 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.680 Creek campground. Jesse was down there kind of checking it out, seeing how 279 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.519 buggy was going to be. He has a couple younger kids and he wanted 280 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.519 to be prepared for the camping season. Sometimes it varies when it's dry like 281 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.839 it's been, the mosquitoes are down and sometimes not. He was just basically 282 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:59.000 checking it out, checking Frenny bear sign as he was going from site to 283 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.599 site to kind of gauge where he wanted to go. There was only one 284 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.519 camper that he could tell or maybe it was a site host. He didn't 285 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.400 stop and ask. As he got to the backside. There's these little loop 286 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.160 arounds. He stopped at a spot and was going to check out this particular 287 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.240 campsite. He had been there before, but they never stayed at that particular 288 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.559 site anyone who's been up here before. They're kind of space apart from each 289 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.119 other depending on the area. He walks back and he's just kind of looking 290 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.200 around. Just off the back side of the campsite, thick trees goes up 291 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.079 into the mountains up into Turnigan Pass. If you follow Turnigan Arm, the 292 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.200 waterway that cuts back, it's southernmost point that that's the area. So he's 293 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.640 back in there and he's just kind of looking around. So he sits down, 294 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.680 just kind of feeling out the area. As Jesse's thinking to himself, 295 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.440 Yeah, this would be the spot. He starts hearing movement behind him. 296 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.599 On the back side of him is the thick trees that go up into the 297 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.319 to the mountains. He's like probably a bear and he was. He stands 298 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:07.400 up and turns around and looks and approximately asks. Seventy feet away, he 299 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.559 sees this dark movement and the way it's moving is out of sight just a 300 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.799 little bit to where he couldn't get a full picture of what he was seeing. 301 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.920 And he didn't like that, like, what is this because it wasn't 302 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.880 down on all fours, it wasn't a low moving mass. This was upright 303 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.119 and kind of moving away from him. Now, as he's kind of sitting 304 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.200 there, assessing it must be the chaperone or the park host or whoever the 305 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.480 camp hosts hiking through. So he thought, none of it. I'm gonna 306 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.039 go talk to him, say hi, how's it been any beare sightings whatever? 307 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.880 And as he kicks along, he starts following, just to go check 308 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.920 it out, see, you know, find out what's what. He can 309 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.319 never really catch up, so he starts speaking up, Hey, hey, 310 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.680 you know, I'm Jesse so and so I'm just curious about the condition of 311 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.119 the camp this year, you know. No response, but the figure stopped 312 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.640 moving and went behind some breash. So he goes, I wonder if he's 313 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.880 taking the leak. You know, maybe I'm not talking loud enough. So 314 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.400 he keeps moving slowly, but continue trying to get this person's attention. Well 315 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.920 as he gets closer, he notices when he gets closer to the brush that 316 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.839 he's seen it go behind. This thing was much larger than the brush, 317 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.759 but at the distance he couldn't gauge the size initially, so when he got 318 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.440 closer to that bush, he realized the bushes were taller than him, so 319 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.960 this thing had to be much taller than that. Immediately he realized, oh 320 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.400 shit, it's time to go. So he backs up, keeping an eye 321 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.920 on this bush where he last seen it because when he saw it behind there, 322 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.039 he had taken a few steps and taking his eyes off it because he 323 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.480 didn't want a person to feel like he was watching him. So he's backstepping 324 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.960 now to get out of that particular area because he feels real uneasy. As 325 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.599 he's doing such, he hears movement behind him, so he turns and looks. 326 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.240 He sees the same large figure kind of quartering away from him, going 327 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:06.240 back in the direction where he had his truck parked. So immediately he says 328 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:07.720 he didn't want to be there, but he has to go to the same 329 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.319 direction as this big figure was moving. He has his gun drawn at this 330 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.160 time, and as he's getting closer, he notices he loses sight of this 331 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.119 big figure, which he feels is it should be impossible because the trees are 332 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.759 fairly dense, but they're not big trees. So he figured that big of 333 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.640 a mass, he should be able to point out figure it, you know, 334 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.240 Oh it's right there, nothing there. He makes it back over his 335 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.519 truck and he has a cigarette and he's trying to calm down, like figure 336 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.000 out what's going on. He wasn't thinking bigfoot or sasquatching all that shit. 337 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.640 I mean, who would if you're not supposed to. He would be thinking 338 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.559 that, you'd be more worried about bears. As he's smoking his cigarette, 339 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.559 he's sitting on the bed of his truck. He dropped the tailgate. He's 340 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.200 smoking. There's a little pink sounds bouncing in the bed of his truck. 341 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.079 Something throwing little pieces of the little pete gravel at him in his truck. 342 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.079 Not directly at but in his truck. So he's like, what the hell? 343 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.480 You know, he felt creeped out, but he didn't feel anything ominous. 344 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.240 So he stands up and starts looking around. I'm not seeing anything. 345 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.799 So he says, man, who's doing the rocks? Quit doing the rocks 346 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:17.319 at my truck. It's a brand new truck. He doesn't want paint scratched, 347 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.279 it's rhino lined, but it's his truck. He's getting upset, thinking 348 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.920 someone's playing a game. He holsters his weapon because he had been holding it 349 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.160 the whole time. Once he was coming out of the trees, colsters it 350 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.160 and figures he's just gonna have to put a whooping on somebody. So he 351 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.799 goes back into the little camp area because that seemed to be the direction the 352 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:41.440 little rocks were coming. And as he's just getting back around the fire pit, 353 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.039 it roar like screamed. He said it started really low to where he 354 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.640 felt it in his clothing, and it was so high pitched he had to 355 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:55.640 literally almost go fetal position. He said it felt like it was right on 356 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.799 top of him. But once the scream stopped, he was kind of in 357 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.440 a crouch position, just kind of cup in his ears. When his screaming 358 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.720 stopped, he immediately stood up, drew his weapon again. About twenty feet 359 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:12.599 away inside the trees, he saw the figure. It squatted down and made 360 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:18.279 direct eye contact with them. He watched it take one of these pieces of 361 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.240 pete gravel and throw it right at him, and he watched the piece of 362 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.440 gravel come hit him directly center of the chest. He said that freaked him 363 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.440 out. He was in shock of what he was looking at. He was 364 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.319 holding a gun and this thing, just like chuck, this little pebble hit 365 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.480 him dead center. He took it as it was a sign from it letting 366 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:44.200 him know that already got youa go away. So he heated the warning. 367 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.920 He backs up, almost fell over the fire pit when he was trying to 368 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.400 get out of there. He didn't want to take eyes off it though. 369 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.240 He still has his firearm and he raises it up, and as soon as 370 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:56.559 he raises it up, just to kind of let it know, hey, 371 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:03.400 stay back, the thing screams again in a slower, more deliberate kind of 372 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.400 bellowing kind of thing, with the bark at the end. He said, 373 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:12.359 what threw him off the most was that bark. It was so piercing. 374 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.720 Just the intensity of it felt like it was in his head, and he 375 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.279 said it was disorienting. He didn't know why, but he said he felt 376 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.000 a little woozy. He felt not like he was going to pass out, 377 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.480 but like he couldn't completely focus without any prompting. He ran God in this 378 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.079 truck and he took off. These things happen but just think of how many 379 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:44.599 people won't come forward, are scared to and they deal with it. So 380 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.720 you know, if the the loved ones that don't know, all of a 381 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.400 sudden, this outdoor loving guy, he won't even contemplate going to a city 382 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.880 park to do a little camping. It's horrible, especially for guys that are 383 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.799 lifelong love hunting, love, fishing, love being out in the woods. 384 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.400 Just a horrible thing. Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll 385 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:15.440 be right back after the ease messages. I'm in an area a lot of 386 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.480 reported sightings and encounters. This is a very creepy area ever since me, 387 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:26.200 a squatch bait, got here. He's out there on the lake right now, 388 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.480 a little bit nervous. We're checking out some breaks across the way. 389 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.240 As we were heading on down the way, we saw this young eagle, 390 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.640 so we puttered back around. As we're getting footage of the eagle. As 391 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.720 soon as I shut off the camera and put it away, we were coming 392 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.400 over this direction. Everything went quiet for a little bit. I heard a 393 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.119 bird a few minutes ago, but the air is kind of still right now. 394 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.039 This whole place. Once you get down here, it is just denser 395 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:59.319 than dense. Some of the stuff just unreal. I'm intentionally making noise just 396 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.759 so you know, I want to be heard by any black or brown bearr 397 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.920 I'm not far from a couple remote salmon fishing twice. Is something strange about 398 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:12.720 it. The reason I'm out here is James and Deborah. We're doing this 399 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:19.480 backpacking trip. They had some hammock tints, so James and Deborah we're doing 400 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:26.720 exactly what I'm doing now, and they were screamed at from approximately they guestimated 401 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.319 about one hundred feet away, but they couldn't see it. Do you think 402 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.319 something one hundred feet away you're going to be able to see if it's not 403 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:34.799 wanting to be seen. This whole area is scott weird things going on. 404 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.319 I'm literally in the area of what happened. So they hear the scream about 405 00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:44.759 one hundred feet out as they're walking along, and the scream happens. No 406 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.279 sooner than they turn to look in that direction, they heard movement, so 407 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.799 they're immediately had an opposite direction. Now you guys have been watching me film 408 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:59.079 as I walked through this stuff. Imagine doing that adrenalized heart bumping mind clicking. 409 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.319 They had it's embar spray with them, but that wasn't gonna help them. 410 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.519 They were running approximately close to a it's not this particular lake, it's 411 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.759 one very nearby. This is not the exact location, but it's in the 412 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.640 same chain of lakes. So they take off running and they know within a 413 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.920 couple of miles there's the Nancy Lake Recreational Area, right, so they knew 414 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.039 they kept going east, they would come to the state recreation area and find 415 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.680 a road. So that's what they were doing. The whole time. They're 416 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.960 making a break for it. They have multiple, multiple miles to go. 417 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:40.799 They're adrenalized at the moment, but it's remote Alaska. The whole time they're 418 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:48.000 running for their lives. They are being paralleled, sometimes past, sometimes trailed, 419 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.680 and cut back and forth. They're going through this dust, something that 420 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.359 big moving. They heard each bipedal stepping boom, boom boom the whole time 421 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.759 they are frazzled. This was approximately a year ago, about the same time 422 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.000 of year, so we're literally looking at the exact same conditions they dealt with. 423 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.160 They're literally running with this thing paralleling them. They had almost ten miles 424 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.319 land of the midnight sun it got a little darker than what it is now, 425 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.839 but not much. So they literally would run, tire themselves out, 426 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.680 scream and yell, bolster themselves up holding that bear spray. They were so 427 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.599 terrified they couldn't tell because it sounded like it was all around them that quick, 428 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.759 short oulhoot, so they couldn't really pinpoint the direction. They literally run 429 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:40.359 for six and a half seven hours, falling, running out of breath, 430 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.400 freaking out. Meanwhile, the whole time they hear this thing back in areas 431 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.880 like I'm standing now, breaking and thrashing shit. So with this thing paralleling 432 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.400 on, it never came within range for them to see. For the longest 433 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:59.640 time. It was approximately nine point thirty ten o'clock at night here when this 434 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:04.359 shit started. So imagine just out of sight somewhere around you, this thing 435 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:11.480 heaving, throwing an ever loving shit. It doesn't instill friendship, It doesn't 436 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.519 instill I don't want to harm you, at least not to me. So 437 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.640 as they're running, they recognize they're near a portage trail from one of the 438 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.960 canoe areas they were for the east of where I am now, and I 439 00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.960 recognize the portage trail they get to it, and as they're running down it 440 00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.960 towards where a parking area is, there happened to be someone pulling in with 441 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.960 some canoes. They're waving them down. As the people stopped to render aid 442 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.519 because they were obviously freaked out, they flagged the person down. The person 443 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.680 stops and is like, what's going on. As the person is asking what's 444 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.519 going on, there was a bunch of thrashing by the trees and a scream. 445 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.400 Now this thing had been could have easily caught them. This thing very 446 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.400 easily could have ended them both. No problem. It was toying with them. 447 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.880 It was getting ahead of them and getting behind them. There's something wrong 448 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:04.119 with that, in my opinion, something real wrong with that person. Lets 449 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.759 them jump in here's the screaming themselves. Gives them a ride back to the 450 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:13.559 road. Drop them off near the fireworks stands, but ways away from here, 451 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.799 but on the main parks highway. Drop them off at Gorilla fireworks. 452 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:21.519 They don't know the person. They basically spilled their guts to this person. 453 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.119 The person really had nothing to say, was just in shock because of the 454 00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:30.359 obvious trauma. You no people could say. James and Deborah were full of 455 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.240 it, or they're just making it up or something like that. Unless you've 456 00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.400 been out this deep in the woods, then I wouldn't say much. That's 457 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.559 what happened with James and Debrah. I'm going on to the next area. 458 00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:46.039 I want to share with you an incident that happened outside of Seward, Alaska, 459 00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:52.319 approximately a little less than a week ago. The encounter happened two days 460 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.720 before I was down there filming, so last Wednesday is when this occurred. 461 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:01.400 A lady named Melissa and her young son at twelve years old, not super 462 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:07.720 young. They had them their dog with some kind of little ankle bitter this 463 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.680 some kind of mix. They got to the trail, heead all the snow 464 00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.119 had just recently moved out from the area, there were still patches of it 465 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.839 in the woods and whatnot. They get onto the hike. She has bear 466 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.319 spray. She has a small side arm in her fanny pack. She tried 467 00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.920 not to flash in front of her son. She didn't promote guns, but 468 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:31.440 she knew having something was better than nothing, and she was more worried about 469 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:37.319 other two legged predators around, not a hairy man. So they started on 470 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.119 their journey and they're having a good time. They kept their dog on a 471 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:45.000 lead, one of those retractable ones. As they were about an hour into 472 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.319 it, they heard some strange noises. There was a lot of jumbled chatter. 473 00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:54.440 She called it sounded like some kind of obscure language. She really couldn't 474 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.000 explain it. She just said it was weird and strange. They were cruising 475 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.839 along this gibbers kind of sound started off to their left hand side. As 476 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.039 they were discussing how weird it sounded. They were kind of giggling a little 477 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.599 bit because it sounded like someone with mental issues making a bunch of gibberish. 478 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.280 And she got concerned when she started hearing trees breaking. She was telling her 479 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:21.320 son to stay nearby. She actually opted out of the trip at that point 480 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.320 and said, we need to head back. They turned around and they're heading 481 00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:28.480 back towards where they parked. And they were an hour into this hike, 482 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.719 so they were, you know, probably a little over a mile. The 483 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:37.039 terrain is mountainous. It's up near Moose Pass down on Kenai Peninsula, just 484 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:42.679 outside of Seward. As they were on their way back, she was severely 485 00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:46.159 concerned about the gibberish sound. As it got louder she had her son pick 486 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.880 up the dog, carry the dog and stay right in front of her. 487 00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.400 She ends uped her fanny pack and kept her hand on her a small caliber 488 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.440 handgun. As they were about a half mile from the trailhead where they had 489 00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:02.840 parked, the noise came from their left really fast through the trees, almost 490 00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:07.840 like it was about to cut them off. She immediately put her son behind 491 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.320 her, told him to be quiet, and they stood still. Now, 492 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.559 as they were standing still, they could hear pacing in the brush just in 493 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.199 front of them, off to the left hand side of the trail, and 494 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.840 they could see trees moving every periodically with the sounds of the crunching of the 495 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:27.880 ground and some snapping of twigs. She got very concerned, so they backed 496 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.480 up the trail of a little ways from the sound that was in front of 497 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:36.079 them. Her and her son retreated behind a little outcropping of rocks and some 498 00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.280 brush to hide. They didn't know what the hell was going on. As 499 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.039 she was consoling her son because he was obviously nervous seeing Mom really freaking out, 500 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.679 one of the things that kept going through her mind was because Harryman wasn't 501 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.400 on their radar whatsoever. She thought maybe it could be a serial killer. 502 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:57.199 She didn't know in the middle of the woods. It's Alaska, it could 503 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:01.079 be a bear, could be anything. She still was not thinking sasquatch, 504 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:06.440 bigfoot, harryman, whatever, wasn't even a thought. So as they're sitting 505 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.960 behind there, and now I'm making a sound, just little whispers now and 506 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:15.679 then there was absolutely no sign of any movement anymore, no sound in the 507 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:19.639 woods, when moments before there was a bunch of birds chirping and everything else, 508 00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.239 and went dead quiet. Getting concerned, she stood up and looked down 509 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.360 the trail behind her. She hears a huff. She turns around, half 510 00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.760 expecting to see a bear because it sounded like a bear huff. When she 511 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.719 turned around, she saw a figure about little over five foot tall, covered 512 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.760 in hair orang just brown hair, big eyes. She said. It looked 513 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:44.760 like a very young whatever it was, which I'm assuming a juvenile, just 514 00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:49.480 over five foot. She said. It was thick, but not overly sized, 515 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:53.000 like a weightlifter. The hair seemed kind of dingy and matted, kind 516 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:57.679 of mangy looking. She was in shock. Her son immediately let out a 517 00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:05.280 scream, crying. The hairyman juvenile imitated his scream and cry to a tee 518 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.800 literally fifteen feet away from them. So every noise her son made, this 519 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:13.800 thing made a noise that mimicked him. She couldn't deal with it. Without 520 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:16.880 even realizing that, she already had her gun drawn and started screaming at it. 521 00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:21.360 You leave, you leave. It turned and it scuttled off into the 522 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.599 trees. They turn around, she says, get on the trail, get 523 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:28.800 moving. Her son is freaking out. He gets on the trail and they're 524 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.360 going back because now they weren't even thinking about the noise. They just scurried 525 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:36.119 from the hide behind that rock and brush. They were getting away from the 526 00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:42.199 thing imitating her son. She was nonetheless freaked out. Her son was barely 527 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.360 holding it together, trembling, crying, could barely walk because he was just 528 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.760 scared, I mean genuinely scared. She still had her pistol in the hand. 529 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.840 She kept her left hand on her son's shoulder so she could push him 530 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.519 down if she needed to fire over him. She was constantly worried about his 531 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.519 safety. As they came up to the spot where there was noise, they 532 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.320 heard another noise. They look over. It was a larger one standing there, 533 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.880 looked obviously female. She said. The chest was sparsely haired. You 534 00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:16.800 could see the memory glands very clearly that it was a female. Very slow 535 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:22.719 brow, deep set eyes, wide broad nose, was kind of like tan 536 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:27.880 color in the face, pitch black eyes. It was showing its teeth and 537 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:31.800 wasn't showing its teeth in a friendly smile. It was an aggressive display. 538 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:37.320 According to her, who am I to judge? I wasn't there as she's 539 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.360 doing this, staring at this thing. Her son just kind of squatted down 540 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.199 on the ground and was crying holding the dog. She shoots once in the 541 00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:50.519 air. Nothing thing didn't flinch, twitch or nothing, just let out a 542 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.039 little bit of a sigh. After the gunshot, report one off and echoed 543 00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:58.199 through the area. Right after the gunshot, they hear scurrying coming from behind. 544 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.760 She turns and looks in a little one just ran right by him within 545 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:05.480 feet. She almost shot it. She was in shot because when she turned 546 00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:08.400 she was pointing the pistol, and it literally ran by her and her son 547 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:14.119 within three feet and ran over to the other figure. Now, she said, 548 00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.159 when it got to its mother, she's assuming it climbed around and was 549 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:23.440 up behind her on her shoulder. Kind of like a piggyback, but resting 550 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:29.360 a little higher above the mother. She immediately started pushing her son down the 551 00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.800 trail because they were still on it. She wanted movement, she wanted a 552 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:37.760 distance. Now they still had to make it to the car. As she's 553 00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.000 consoling her son, it's okay, they were just separated. We got between 554 00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:44.519 them. Let's just go, just walk towards the car. I'll keep an 555 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:47.519 eye on them, because her son was terrified, eyes locked on these things, 556 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.039 was just shaking like a leafs, so much so that he had a 557 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.199 hard time standing up. They get down the trail a little ways. As 558 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:58.920 they are just about to come into view of the car, they hear another 559 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.840 huff. When they turn around, they see three figures looked nothing like the 560 00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.760 first two they saw, So now that's five that she reported as witnessing. 561 00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:14.039 The three they saw when they turn around were much larger, she said, 562 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.639 obviously male. One was bigger than the other two. The two smaller of 563 00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:23.280 the three large ones were approximately the same size. They had very similar features 564 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:29.840 as the one she reported as a mom, just larger, more robust jaw, 565 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:34.719 bigger, broader nose, but instead of a tannish kind of face, 566 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.039 like a tanned leather kind of face. It was more ash Gray said. 567 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:44.119 They look greasy looking. Sparse hair around the face reminded her of like Planet 568 00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.800 of the Apes, but different. Only a thing related to Planet of the 569 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.920 Apes was the hair style around the face, kind of chimpanzee like, I 570 00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.760 guess you would call it. She was on the verge of losing it. 571 00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.280 She thought it was after her son they skid out to the car. They 572 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.760 made it to the She gets her son in there and she comes back around 573 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.559 to jump in the driver's seat. As she does, the juvenile one runs 574 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:10.519 across just outside of the tree line in front of her. She thought it 575 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:14.719 was weird because it wasn't looking at her, it was looking back behind her. 576 00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.920 On the opposite side of the parking area was another one of these things. 577 00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.280 She assumed it was the bigger of the one she just saw a moment 578 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.960 ago, just up the trail. She jumps in the car, starts it 579 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.239 up, backs up, and as they backed up to turn around to do 580 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.519 a little three point turnaround, there's a couple other cars in that lot at 581 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:37.360 the time, so there's other people on that trail. So as she does 582 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:39.920 her little three point turning. She was getting ready to scoot out of there 583 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:45.239 in her little Subaru. The whole ass end of her car shifted almost spun 584 00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:51.159 her out. She gained control and gunned it back onto the highway. Now 585 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.960 as she looked in the rearview mirror, she saw the big one on all 586 00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:00.679 fours stand up in her mirror, just as she banked to the left to 587 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:07.039 get the hell out of Dodge. That was the third time they ever went 588 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.000 hiking together. She will not go hiking again. Her son hasn't been the 589 00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:15.760 same since. She's been looking to get him some counseling and stuff. Being 590 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:20.320 a good mom. She has no clue where to start and how to even 591 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.199 approach it with the therapist without potentially losing her son. Thinking she's a whack 592 00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:29.840 of do It's unfortunate that decent people that are doing the right thing, looking 593 00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.840 out for their kids or whatever, you're gonna have something like this happen and 594 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:38.639 not have support for it, no support whatsoever outside of mockery and dismissal. 595 00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:43.119 God forbid any of those people ever have to deal with some shit like that. 596 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:47.159 We'll catch you on the next one. They say, you don't gotta 597 00:42:47.280 --> 00:43:23.079 go home, But you can't stay this side steps steps chart, this chart, 598 00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:30.079 that chart. Everything came right back, right back for joy, for 599 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:52.639 me and the joy. Stay right you come in right away.
