10
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.240
I got to sit down and talk
to Fred from Alaska, and I have

11
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.280
to be honest with you. Fred
had some of the most hair we encounters

12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.000
with Sasquatch that I have frankly ever
heard anywhere. One of the main encounters

13
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.359
that he's going to talk about here, it's a situation very similar to what

14
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.439
happened in eight Canyon back in nineteen
twenty four. He, one of his

15
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.319
elders and one of his cousins were
pinned down in a cabin and they were

16
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.359
surrounded by a group of Sasquatch and
they had to shoot their way out of

17
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.040
this situation. It's some of the
most fascinating stuff that I, frankly ever

18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.920
heard. I think you're really going
to enjoy this. I'll let Fred tell

19
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.599
you all about that in just a
second, really quickly. I've made the

to the show. It is spread
from Alaska. Welcome to the show man.

34
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.919
Hey, thanks for having me,
Brian. I appreciate it. I

35
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.000
am glad to have you. Man. So let's get right into it.

36
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.960
Let's talk about this bigfoot thing.
Why don't you start out with what got

37
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.120
you interested in the subject to begin
with. It's in my culture. I'm

38
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.360
a chill Young Tribal council member from
Bristol Bay, Alaska. We were raised

39
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:53.159
with the knowledge of the hairy wrong. We were warned from a young age

40
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.560
that they'll steal you and eat you. As a kid, I was a

41
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.199
savvy kid. I figured out,
geez, so they're just trying to keep

42
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.400
me out of the woods. But
at nineteen eighty three, I was walking

43
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.680
back to my little treeport I was
gonna go work on and I thought I

44
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.800
saw one of my uncles, because
he's over six foot tall. I thought

45
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.919
I saw him in the willows,
and I was sicking hop crap. But

46
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.919
then I looked again and they was
looking at me. They swayed back to

47
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.840
fork a little bit and then screamed
at me, and so I ran right

48
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.000
back to my grandma's house. But
we were raised with the knowledge, don't

49
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.120
whistle in the woods, don't follow
the whistles in the woods, And we

50
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.400
didn't have an oral history of trading
with them in the past or anything like

51
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.080
that. It's always been adversarial.
It was never there your friend. It

52
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.280
was never anything like, it's your
forest friend. We were always told go

53
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.240
the other way. We see tracks, go the other way if you hear

54
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.639
him, that kind of thing.
And even though that one screamed at me.

55
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.680
A little later that fall, we
ended up going to moose Camp,

56
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.240
which we would take a thirty two
foot fishing boat up the Nishigak River and

57
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.199
use that fishing boat as basic and
take the skip around to go moose hunt.

58
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.560
And it was on that trip in
eighty three we ended up that Black

59
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.759
Bluff which is by Angel Bay,
which is at the titles on of the

60
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.919
New Chigak River, and we got
grounded on a gravel bar and the tide

61
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.319
was going out, so we knew
we were he'd be stuck there for a

62
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.160
while. As we were there,
some older cousins were like, hey,

63
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.399
we'll take the younger ones sport fishing
for salmon, to keep them busy and

64
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.759
give them out of the hair because
they were worried about the boat tip.

65
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.199
And then they were doing some other
stuff. So we hopped in the skip,

66
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.120
and as we were backing away,
we had heard some screaming, but

67
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.000
we weren't really we're kids. We're
trying to rig up our rods and reels

68
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.439
and all that kind of stuff.
And my dad and my uncles were waving

69
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.240
us back over to the skiff,
and again we were kids, not paying

70
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.439
attention. But as soon as we
got back up to the bigger fishing boat

71
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:54.639
and started getting told to get off, then the screams became very abundant and

72
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.720
clear, very loud, very piercing. We get inside the cab at the

73
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.279
pro because they wanted us inside.
Just as we got inside, rock started

74
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:08.079
being thrown from up on Black Bluff
now where we'd work, or to the

75
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.279
bluff. We were about seventy yards
from the bluff, and the bluff was

76
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.879
about sixty feet high sixty five feet
high at that point. As soon as

77
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.199
we were inside the cab of the
boat, the rock started throwing, and

78
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.040
on the back of that boat.
We had an eighth frame out of two

79
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.360
by four with tark over it for
our most quarters to hang on. One

80
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.480
of those rocks hit so hard it
knocked one of the quarters off of that

81
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.639
brace beam, and that's when my
uncles opened fire on it. I remember

82
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.439
before they ushered us further down in
where there was no windows, where the

83
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.959
sleeping area is. Just before that, I remember seeing that thing fall,

84
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.439
jump back up and start throwing more
rocks and more shots. In the kid's

85
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.920
mind, it seemed like it took
forever. Honestly, I don't remember exactly

86
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.439
how long that whole thing was going
on, because you would hear screams,

87
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.199
you'd hear rocks hit the boat,
and then you'd hear another volleyed shots.

88
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.800
And that went on for a while. All us kids ended up falling asleep

89
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.240
and we woke up back at the
harbor in the wee hours of the morning

90
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.839
whenever we got there. And it's
really weird in the village. Usually it's

91
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.839
not talked about after it happens.
There's a large superstition that you talk about.

92
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.800
It'll bring them out, it'll bring
them to you. It'll bring a

93
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.600
bad home and bad fishing seas and
someone could die. Things of that nature,

94
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.800
and that still runs really strong even
to this day. And I don't

95
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.160
knock it, but we're in a
day and time to where it's more public

96
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.680
safe, you know what I mean, because there's some bad actors out there

97
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.079
in the woods Man And going on
through the years, we've had several sidings

98
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.759
at the ferry patches, seen them
at distance from Sunshine Valley, Bear Bay,

99
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.279
up the Agolawalk River. The whole
wood Chicks Steak Park. Literally,

100
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:57.639
that whole place is just inundated with
sidings and various things like that. We

101
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.759
saw a female in ninety five.
We were coming up on this alpine meadow

102
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.959
and I was with a couple cousins, and we were looking for woodland caribou,

103
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.120
which are a little bigger than your
standard caribou, more like a rain

104
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.519
geer as far as size, because
caribou were small. So we're up there

105
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.720
looking for some of these things.
And we came up on this meadow and

106
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.519
it was a bunch of dead grass. It was that strawberry blonde kind of

107
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.800
colored dead grass, and it was
about three and a half four foot tall.

108
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.560
And as we're up there on this
little bit of a bowl. We

109
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.639
were up on the slightest bit of
a rise in it was foot bowl,

110
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.120
and then it was like the tundrug, kind of mixed with the grass.

111
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:38.480
And then about eighty yards off to
our right was the tree line going back

112
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.519
down. As we're sitting there,
the wind blew from behind us, and

113
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.120
we wouldn't have saw this thing if
that wind didn't blow. It blended in

114
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.399
so seamlessly. It was like a
duckling in the grass. But as soon

115
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.199
as that wind blew, we saw
it, and it immediately saw us was

116
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.120
where we were seeing it, and
she stood up. She was about almost

117
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.560
seven foot tall, not very big, but she was the same color as

118
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.279
that grass, strawberry blond. And
she screamed and then took off running and

119
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.839
cleared that eighty yards and just gone. As soon as she hit the trees.

120
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.800
Because of her coloring, she just
disappeared. We heard her crash and

121
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.600
breakthrough and stuff, but she was
gone. She was out of there.

122
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.319
There's gosh, there are so many
different times. Let's see later on.

123
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.319
Actually, a couple of weeks after
that, we were coming back from Manachotac

124
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.560
on the Manicota Trail on four wheelers, which is usually that's just a snow

125
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.080
machine route because there's so much muskeg
and marsh. We were taking four wheelers

126
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.919
and we were coming back and there's
about seven wheelers and there's about eleven people.

127
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.399
There's about three or four real young
kids, and I was in my

128
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.720
late teens. Well, we get
up to this point in the marsh.

129
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.080
We're about the halfway pote between Manicotac
and Billingham, and the lead our wheeler

130
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.799
broke through the tundra in the marsh, so we were stuck for a minute.

131
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.039
Now, we're in a wide open
area. Off to our right hand

132
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.120
side, there was some trees,
but it was about one hundred yards away

133
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.320
where the tree line started. So
we're in a pretty wide open area.

134
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.919
And it seemed out of nowhere.
Off to our right at a ninety degree,

135
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.600
this thing was standing out there.
It was a large male close to

136
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.399
ten foot tall. I would say, look gangly, like a Chewbacca.

137
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.559
And it tongue popped at us.
That sound you hear what they call it?

138
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.799
What k not? This thing was
tongue popping at us. I tongue

139
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.039
popped twice. One of the kids
was like, should we shoot it?

140
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.120
And everyone's like no, be quiet, and then after it funk pop twice,

141
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.200
it just screamed and then took off
running. When it took off running,

142
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.799
it was moving so fast. It
was like shooting a rooster tail of

143
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.080
water running across the Muskeg. It
was a damned saying, because I mean

144
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.600
that funk pop even at one hundred
yards, you can damn there feel it

145
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.279
in your chest. It was real. I's just there's so many different encounters

146
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.200
like that, the ones that really
stick with me and caused me to do

147
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.919
the website, interactive map and all
that. It happened in two thousand and

148
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.360
six, because for the sake of
time, I'll give you an abbreviated So

149
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.279
we went up to go gold panning
River Moss from a billion world so it's

150
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.120
out there. We stayed at an
old salmon counting tower station, which was

151
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.799
basically a glorified box. It was
eight foot square and it had a fifty

152
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.840
stop trailer up the back bit.
So we get there with all our stuff

153
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.639
in this twenty two foot skiff and
it was a couple hours before dark.

154
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.440
We were there to be worker beasts
for our elder. You know what I

155
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.639
mean, that's just village life.
So we unload everything, and my elder

156
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.120
and my cousin. This is just
four dark. We got done eating.

157
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.559
I was standing there and on the
way up, I had just bought this

158
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.840
new shotgun. It was a rifle
barrel was going to be my slug gun

159
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.200
friend. The brush and the rear
ghost ring was off, so I was

160
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.879
messing with that rear sight. Time
goes by, my elders talking to us

161
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.559
about how he wants how many buckets
he wants from this spot, how many

162
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.919
buckets from that spot so he could
sluice for feedert or whatever as these book

163
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.440
draw all that, and I'm messing
with that site. It was about a

164
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.559
half hour after dark, and the
whole place just it was like a stiff

165
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.360
wind hit the place. Now,
this place is only eight foot square two

166
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.639
by four construction five flywood, and
you had an eighteen by twenty four inch

167
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.799
window on either side. It was
like, what the hell was that?

168
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.000
It wasn't the wind. And when
I looked over to my left where my

169
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.440
cousin was sitting, there was a
gap between his shoulder and the top of

170
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.120
the window, and I saw something
dark moves. We're on a salmon river,

171
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.080
I assumed. There he grabbed the
thirty odd to six. I grabbed

172
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.919
the twelve gage and we had this
money in candlewak power spotlight. I don't

173
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.320
know if you seen those. It
took the old six bolt batteries. Anyway,

174
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.039
we had one of those with a
fresh battery, and so we figured

175
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.039
we'll run this bear off. Swing
open the door. And this door was

176
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.879
just held there with the little javook
in our little islet. It was a

177
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.840
glorified box. So we pushed it
open and we checked the riverbank site for

178
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.120
no bear, and we take one
step out. We're literally eighteen inches outside

179
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.559
of this door. The door is
still open, and I paanmed to the

180
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.360
left that spotlight, and once I
hit the tree line off where I left

181
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.480
at about ten o'clock position, we
saw three sets eye shine. They were

182
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.600
very large red. They reminded me
of fence post markers. Typically these things,

183
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.399
when you put a light on them, they'll duck. They'll try to

184
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.080
obscure their view of you and all
that right, they'll try to duck it

185
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.000
high. These things didn't give a
rat's ass. They just stood there.

186
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.519
What they look like as far as
they're coloring and all that, I couldn't

187
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.759
tell you because everything went the eye
shine and everything within us was just like

188
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.600
we duck right back in and I
shut that little jaylook before what good that

189
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.639
would do? So as we're standing
there, it was like we had ear

190
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.440
muffs on. All of a sudden, the pressure was weird. I don't

191
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.200
know if you've ever been on a
plane and gears haven't pucked. So the

192
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.519
person standing next to you talking sounds
like they're ten feet away and walking through

193
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.759
a glass or something. It was
very similar to that. I'm telling my

194
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.159
elder, Hey, there's three sets
of eye shine, and there's a hairy

195
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.480
man out there. And I'm asking
my cousin, did you see what I

196
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.559
seen? As I'm speaking to him. All of a sudden, he's underneath

197
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.559
that card table they were playing cribbage
at just a moment before he had a

198
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.039
death grip on the rifle. He
was holding it by the barrel, in

199
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.720
it like you would have paddled,
but it looked like he was seizing up.

200
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.440
But he was looking across the room
at the window off to my right

201
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.240
hand side, and me and my
elder looked at each other and we looked

202
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.559
down at him, and this is
all happening way faster than me telling you

203
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.840
about it. So when we look
down at him, we see he's looking

204
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.039
across at that window just less than
three feet from me, because again it's

205
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.159
eight foot square, no room in
there. Me and my elder turned to

206
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.519
look at the same time, and
this thing's face was in the window and

207
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.080
it was looking down at It doesn't
at first, and then when once my

208
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.360
head fully turned and made contact with
the eye contact it turned, it looked

209
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.919
right at me. I only saw
from the bottom of its nose to the

210
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.080
top of its eyebrow in eighteen inches. It startled me so hard. Every

211
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.120
fiber in my being wanted to run
away, but it was stuck in my

212
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.759
skin. It was like an electrical
shock. It was real stunning. This

213
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.840
thing started moving after it hurled his
brow and looked right at me and then

214
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.799
started moving out of you. And
just everything inside me was like, bend

215
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.120
yourself, bend yourself. And I
shot three times through the wall with that

216
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.159
shotgun. The loudest scream. The
whole place shifted with that scream. It

217
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.960
was like simultaneous. It almost took
me off my feet. Remote structures in

218
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.679
Alaska aren't allowed to permanent. They
got to be on skids. Are easily

219
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.159
movable, and so I thought it
was going to push us in a river.

220
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.759
It just screamed, went quiet after
the shift, and my elder just

221
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.200
retreated back into that little tebby area
where the sleeping area was, and I

222
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.320
basically sat there for more than a
handful of hours. It was real stressful.

223
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.840
I ended up yelling at them to
help me. My cousin was just

224
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.960
not useful. He was out of
it. He was babbling. I tried

225
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.360
to get the thirty odd six,
but he had such a death grip on

226
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.039
it and it was loaded. I
didn't want to risk anything else happening,

227
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.120
a bad or whatever, but so
I sat there for hours. Honestly,

228
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.919
I kept contemplating how they were going
to kill me. It's hard to put

229
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.840
into words, but I had to
stop shaking like a leaf. I had

230
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.399
to accept that I wasn't going to
see the other side of it, and

231
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.440
once I came to terms with my
own mortality, I was able to start

232
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.919
thinking it was white knuckle man.
I was gripping that shotgun so hard my

233
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.639
hands hurt. I had to pump
that stupid Coleman lantern every once in a

234
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.519
while with the white gas man,
and to this day. I still can't

235
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.279
have any bright light above my head
or listen to that single a lamp.

236
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.240
I just can't do it. It's
just too much. And I sat there

237
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.759
envisioning how they're going to kill me. After a little more and a handful

238
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:07.679
of hours, my cousin started making
sense again, because for the longest time

239
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.960
he would babble. Every once in
a while, he wet himself. So

240
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.440
get him back with me, so
to speech, I told him, hey,

241
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.840
I shot it. It ran away. I shot it. We're okay,

242
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.039
it ran off. Anything to get
him back in it with me,

243
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.600
because again my elder wasn't responding.
I didn't have nice things to say to

244
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.960
either one of them because I was
sitting there freaking out. So he gets

245
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.159
up, We get him changed out, and I'm asking him, why did

246
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.320
you fall under the table? What
happened that you fell under the table?

247
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.000
And from what he told me was
is as we were standing there, it

248
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.240
was a little further back from the
window and in direct eyesight for him,

249
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.399
and it showed his teeth to him
and it freaked him out. So when

250
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.240
he went under the table, that's
when this thing came in closer to the

251
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.399
window and was looking down at him
when we saw it, so he saw

252
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.600
it first, it showed its teeth, freaked him out, and then I

253
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.000
turned and saw it shut through the
wall. So we sit in discussed for

254
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.039
a while. I would say probably
seven hours have gone by from when I

255
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.799
shot through the wall, give or
take, because it was real. In

256
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.200
those moments of trauma, it seems
like time slows down. You know what.

257
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.799
I mean to give an exact time, I wouldn't be able to do

258
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.440
it. But anyway, so once
we started thinking as a group again,

259
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:27.160
we decide we're going to make a
break for the boat and maybe use the

260
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.319
spotlight to see because typically we don't
travel in the dark. It's just too

261
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.279
dangerous on the river. But considering
the circumstances, we were willing to make

262
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.720
do so we formulate this game plan. When we had gotten there the anchor

263
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:47.000
line. With the anchor it was
the spoon type that kind of kicks out

264
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.000
and has the two spades that against
We had drug it all the way over

265
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.920
into the tundra and dug it into
the pundra, which there was about fifty

266
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.480
feet a line or tethered. We're
mitigating that end in my pocket knife.

267
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.880
I'm like you got to cut that
line and fuck the acre. We'll get

268
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.039
out of here, formulate our game
plan, and he's let's look out the

269
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.599
windows and see if we can see
them. So we just don't walk right

270
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.720
out into a trap. So we
had to kill the lamp because we're getting

271
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.960
the mirrored effect from the comb lantern. So we killed the lantern and we

272
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.880
beam out the river bank side and
we see nothing, and believe me,

273
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.519
we were looking real hard. Then
we hit the side we saw the inland

274
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.480
side from the river. We beamed
over where we saw the three sets eye

275
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.160
shine and there was nothing there.
It was so quiet again the whole time

276
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.079
for the start to finish it.
It was like those gear muffs were on.

277
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.440
And so as we're talking and we're
beaming back, there was an old

278
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.759
outhouse about forty feet off kitty corner, up the back corner of this place

279
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.480
that hadn't been used in forever,
but it was still standing. It was

280
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.279
about eight foot tall. Everything out
there was made with minimum cuts. They

281
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.519
were odd shapes and stuff, single
side proofs, that kind of thing.

282
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.000
So once we get over to that
outhouse, we see this huge black silhouette.

283
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.599
It wasn't immediately right behind the outhouse. It was a little bit back.

284
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.160
It was rough destination. I'm a
partner by trade, so I guesstimate

285
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.799
about thirteen or fourteen football every bit
of five five and a half foot wide.

286
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.200
It took us a minute to figure
out what we were looking at because

287
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.119
it was absorbing the light. It
wasn't given into back in eyeshine, nochine

288
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.680
to the hair, nothing. It
was just like a big black nothing that

289
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.640
was there for us. We killed
that light and we ducked back into that

290
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:38.480
little cubby and I don't know exactly
how long we were tucked back in there,

291
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.720
but we had barrel's crossmen with white
knuckle terror. We were past crying

292
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.839
half gibberis, trying to figure out
what do we do now? It was

293
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.240
very difficult, to say the least, It was very difficult, And stay

294
00:19:53.279 --> 00:20:02.319
tuned for more sasquatch Otasy were right
back after these messages. It was dead

295
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.039
quiet too. Once we took back
in there, it was pitch black.

296
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.359
We couldn't see our hands in front
of our faces. But for whatever reason,

297
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.119
we had barrels crossed and we were
ready to shoot anything that made us

298
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.640
sound. At that point, nothing
happened. Dead quiet. So as it

299
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:21.440
was staying quiet for a while,
we started calming down and started re talking

300
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.400
about this game plan, will getting
to this gift. Now. As we

301
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:30.000
were discussing things, nothing was coming
with us. Just important pape works,

302
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.720
Jever's linse, that kind of stuff, Ammo. Important stuff to get out

303
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:40.240
of there, all the gold panning
stuff. My elder spent two years acquiring,

304
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.920
all this portable stuff. Must have
had thousands of dollars worth of stuff,

305
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.960
but we were leaving it all.
It was irrelevant at that point.

306
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.200
So once we get our game plan
gone again, it seemed every time we

307
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:56.440
were gearing up to have the gumption
to make a go of it, something

308
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.759
else would happen. We were sitting
there talking in like rotor washed from helicopter.

309
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:03.400
That folk sound, but it was
in the near distance, and we

310
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.400
started feeling it in the ground.
It was one of these things, and

311
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.160
it ran by the place. Hindsight, I think they were checking us if

312
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.599
we were going to shoot again.
I'm not sure. Again, it's speculation.

313
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.960
So it runs by, feel it
in the ground, and it was

314
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.279
like there was other ones around the
place. So as soon as the one

315
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.279
ran by, other ones started running
around this place. In different directions,

316
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.039
and you could build the different weights
just from the impact on the ground.

317
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.720
You could sense which ones were heavier, which ones were lighter, or whatever.

318
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.119
But they did that about four or
five times over the course of fifteen

319
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.400
minutes. And during the second time
they did that, we could hear one

320
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.599
of them snipping the trailer on the
outside. It was beyond creepy. So

321
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.680
that happens, it goes dead quiet
again. It was really trying because when

322
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.960
you're in a situation like that,
your natural instinct is to run. You

323
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.759
want to bolt out of there,
You want to get the hell out dodge.

324
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.480
But I knew better. My cousin. We had been kicking around this

325
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.359
little sixteenth thingy nail since we got
there. It just laying on the ground,

326
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.960
was all bent up and rusty.
But he was talking about, let's

327
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.599
nail the door shut with that nail, and I'm like, stay with me,

328
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.880
man, that nail is doing nothing. So yeah, I was trying

329
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.680
to keep him from going back under
the table, so to speak, because

330
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.319
it was a little hit and miss
there. And it was really hard because

331
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:33.240
these aren't just weekend war years wallflowers
man work from the village. We lived

332
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.160
the subsistence lifestyle, you know,
I mean subsistence hunting all that. It

333
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:42.119
wasn't just something we did for fun. It was truly our life. And

334
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:48.000
seeing him in that position was really
hard. I didn't lose respect for them.

335
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.680
There was bonds being broken between us
because of this stuff. Anyway,

336
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:59.279
the snipping happens, they the running
around stops. How long of time went

337
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.200
on, I don't know exactly,
because again we were filled with terror,

338
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.759
but some time had passed, it
had calmed down, it was quiet.

339
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.480
So we calmed down. We reinitiated
our escape plan, which we were going

340
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.799
to get to the skip. He
was going to fire it up. I

341
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.839
would help our elder down because we
were on a cut bank. It's six

342
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.079
m feet high off of the river
and twenty feet from the front of the

343
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.000
door. It felt like ten miles
away. But on the cut bank,

344
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.599
the grass was there and it was
pretty steep. So my elder, he

345
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.920
was in his mid late sixties,
he wasn't, you know, like feeble,

346
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.000
but he wasn't spry. He wasn't
just going to get up and run.

347
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.440
We're going over all that. How
we're going to work it out,

348
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.640
and we get right up to the
door. And at this point it's starting

349
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.359
to get light outside, not enough
where you could fully see. The light

350
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.160
had changed on the horizon. Daylight
was coming. And so as we're sitting

351
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.079
there talking and getting our game plan, all of a sudden, the wall

352
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.920
that we were in front of,
which was by the door, there was

353
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.519
no windows on that side, but
we heard this. It sounded like someone

354
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.039
shooting a teleg gun at the place. It was this sound, and the

355
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.279
cadence increased until it was just like
ailstorm of all these little rocks they were

356
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:17.799
throwing and boom. We retreated right
back into that little cubby. It really

357
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.920
felt like we were being messed with. I was scared shitless, but I

358
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.599
felt anger like they're toying with this
because every time we were getting ready to

359
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.799
make them go for it, something
else would happen. It calms down,

360
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.000
it gets lighter out, it's light
enough to what we don't need the big

361
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.480
flashlight. I could see to the
trees. Everything under the tree line,

362
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.279
though was still silhouetted because it was
dark, but everything was in shadow.

363
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.640
But I could see clearly to the
tree line, and we looked out there

364
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.119
was nothing, so it was go
time. He was in front of me.

365
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.880
I was right behind him, with
the elder behind me. I had

366
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.839
my elder's old wing Master shotgun man. That thing was there, just the

367
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.799
emateth of a twelve gage. Jesus, it was big and long. I

368
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.680
had that slung over my shoulder.
I had the thirty odd six. I

369
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.920
had my cousin the twelve gage because
it was a little shorter for him to

370
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.440
be in first out the door or
whatever to get down to the skiff.

371
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.000
So we go out the door and
it was like we rehearsed it our whole

372
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.880
lives. Man, we were bloom
right to the edge. He jumped down.

373
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.240
I held my helder from behind me
come around. I knelt down because

374
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.079
the grass had two on it.
He was getting his footing and stuff in

375
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.640
that twelve gage, being slung over
my shoulder was pushing me forward. So

376
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.960
once he got his footing, I
screwed it back just maybe four six inches

377
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.160
something like that, grabbed the thirty
odd six and stood up, And when

378
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.880
I came to full height, this
rock, a little bigger than a basketball,

379
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:48.599
literally whizzed right front of my face. Immediately everything with slow motion.

380
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.440
I locked onto that rock and it
flew and then impacted a part of the

381
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.400
river that was about three feet deep. It hit so hard on this fast

382
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.960
moving river that you were here to
hit the bum like cora before the water

383
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.799
closed over it. It hit hard
from the distance I'm guessing it was thrown,

384
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.119
which was at that tree line.
It had to have already been in

385
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.279
the air by time I stood up. So these things are very good at

386
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.799
throwing rocks norm because it anticipated where
I was going to be when it threw

387
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.480
it. It had to just creepy
shit. The rock impacts and it was

388
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.440
like, what was really weird is
outside of the big black nothingness. Once

389
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.680
that rock hit the bottom of the
river and crack, our hearing was back

390
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.200
to normal. Everything went. I
heard that impact real clearly. Everything was

391
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.519
crisp and sharp. In with the
hearing, I turned my left and that's

392
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.920
where the big black one was coming
out of the tree line. The way

393
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.720
it was moving was like it was
floating. You couldn't see any articulation of

394
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:53.240
the limbs or anything. It was
just coming out and I assumed that was

395
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.960
the one that threw the rock.
So I've shot it three times with the

396
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.279
thirty odd six, that same thirty
odd man. I don't know if you're

397
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.119
a hunter. I've ever shot,
but we killed Walrus with that rifle,

398
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.759
the exact same one, two thousand
plus pounds. Walrus killed him a shot

399
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:14.440
or too dead missing. I hit
it three times. I heard the bullets

400
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.000
impact. It just stopped moving.
It just stopped moving forward. But it

401
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.359
didn't flinch, it didn't fuckle,
it didn't nothing. It just stopped moving

402
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.359
forward. And that's when I jumped
off the bank. My freaking cousin didn't

403
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.279
cut the line. So I'm young
at him throw the knife, but he

404
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.880
had that out forward, running but
he had it idol really high because it

405
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.519
was cold, but he was trying
to ship at the same time, and

406
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.680
I'm telling him the idol down.
Throw me the knife. Was a bit

407
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.440
chaotic there for a second. He
throws me the knife. I cut the

408
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:47.720
bow line and I'm putting the chink
because there's about ten to twelve feet of

409
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.880
chain before the regular rope, and
I'm putting that into the skiff. I

410
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.559
set the thirty six down in there, and he had, for some reason,

411
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.519
dropped my shotgun on the river bank, and I was gonna grab it,

412
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.920
but you know, with what was
going on, he got it shifted.

413
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.920
I shoved my elder in. He
had sat down on the edge with

414
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.480
his feet outside of the skiff,
and he's sitting on the edge, and

415
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.440
I shoved him in because he was
taking way too long to get loaded up

416
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.680
in the skiff, so I shove
him in. He falls back, bruised

417
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.960
his wrists pretty good. He turns
around. He's facing the front towards me

418
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.480
along with my cousin, and as
I'm getting the chain in and all this

419
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:27.680
is happening, he just got it
into reverse and both their eyes get real

420
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:32.640
big and they're looking up back behind
me on the river bank. So I

421
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:37.079
looked back and I saw a shin
just up to the knee of this thing

422
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.400
standing over me, back behind me. I don't think it was all black

423
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.200
one, because this one had dark
hair, but the tips were like an

424
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.039
auburn red, a cinnamon red.
But anyway, I push off. He

425
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:55.000
backs out of little ways and I'm
immediately in the bow trying to get more

426
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.720
rounds into the thirty odd to six. And as I'm doing so, my

427
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.319
vision is just going total vision.
Man, hard the stress, it was

428
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.359
just so jacked up. So I'm
putting rounds in the sing and we're cutting

429
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.039
back and forth. I noticed we're
swaying. I found out later that the

430
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.160
reason he was swaying. I thought
he was just trying to break friction and

431
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.480
get up on step, but what
he was doing was avoiding the rocks they

432
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.359
were throwing that outboard. The back
of the transom of the skiff ended up

433
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.720
with some good knots in there from
rocks we had thrown, cracked the cowling.

434
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.079
They were in the process of trying
to stop us from getting out of

435
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.200
there, but luckily we got going
enoup and got up on step and got

436
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.920
out of there. But we left
everything a shot down, all the sluicing

437
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.000
stuff. The only stuff we had
with us was it closed on our back

438
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:47.759
pockets full of AMMO and important stuff
like our driver's license. That's what we

439
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.480
left with. I don't even know
how much money overall was lost in that

440
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.720
excursion, but that's one of the
driving forces of why I started the website

441
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:03.200
and the YouTube channel to get the
word out, because there's so many forest

442
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:10.200
Friends stories and that might be true
in some places, but up here in

443
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:17.039
Alaska, there's a serious predatory side
to these beings up here, and my

444
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:22.559
experience on the river is not special. There's a couple of handfuls of people

445
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.200
who have dealt with similar things to
put shots on these things to keep them

446
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:32.039
back, because for whatever reason that
area they get hyper aggressive. So many

447
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.519
people have experiences out that way.
It is a very dangerous place in my

448
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.279
field. And I've never up until
two thousand and six, I would have

449
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.720
told you, hey, they scream, they break stuff, you leave,

450
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.839
You're good. Once I saw the
flip side of that coin to where they

451
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.519
were actually attempting to lure us out. Have we not seen the three sets

452
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.119
eye shrink, we would have walked
right around that corner right into his hands,

453
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.440
like right into his arms. It
just creepy stuff. And to be

454
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.200
honest with you, Brian, in
this me up for about four years,

455
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:08.119
man, I drank heavy. No
one would hear us. My relatives weren't

456
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.160
communicating with me because again, during
those moments of trauma, I was calling

457
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.559
them all sorts of bitches, trying
to get them to help. I was

458
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:21.839
sitting there terrified and I needed someone
to help. In those moments of fear,

459
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.720
I was lashing out. Yeah,
it was. Sometimes it still bothers

460
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.599
me, other times it doesn't.
But going out in the woods is a

461
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.640
perhaps shoot. There's times that doesn't
bother me at all, and other times

462
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.480
it'll get super quiet in the woods
and I just get creeped out, Paddy,

463
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:42.279
and it's just real hard to sit
still in the woods. But yeah,

464
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.759
those circumstances is why I do what
I do now to get the word

465
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.000
out to people that hey, there's
something different up here going on. Our

466
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:55.680
oral history it dictates as much.
And again I took it serious that they

467
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.640
were real, but the whole eating
people, I didn't initially bought it at

468
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.759
for a long time until two thousand
and six because up until then, all

469
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.000
I saw was they would run a
link, they would break stup, or

470
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:13.559
we would leave. But it was
never that personal, that in your face,

471
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.279
we're gonna get you. But yeah, it destroyed our relationship. I

472
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.240
talked to my cousin twice in almost
twenty years. I haven't spoken to my

473
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.319
elder since he since passed away.
Yeah, man, a last eight no

474
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:29.720
joke, man, definitely sounds like
it. I want to go back.

475
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.680
There's several questions that I have.
I want to go back to the scream

476
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.200
The screams you referenced a couple of
times some of the earlier scenarios, and

477
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.880
then when you guys had this thing
in the cabin, let's talk a little

478
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.519
bit about I know it's difficult to
do, but can you give us sort

479
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.880
of a something as a reference point
to maybe describe what the scream sounds like

480
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.720
that you guys are here. Initially, the one up on the bluff,

481
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.720
it started off what I got every
kind of siren where it goes starts up

482
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.519
low and then ends up real high
pitched but very powerful. The other ones

483
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:06.759
were very forceful, not as long, and they didn't go as low and

484
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:13.640
octive. They were very high pitched, very piercing, very powerful. Geez,

485
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.480
it's really hard to go well over
one hundred and twenty decibels over.

486
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.079
I've since gotten into competition car stereos
and stuff, and I know decibels.

487
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.000
And these things were, especially the
one outside that little shack when it screamed

488
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.839
and the whole place shifted. At
the same time, the pot that my

489
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.920
elder had made our dinner in was
sitting on one of those little Coleman stoves,

490
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:39.119
and it rang like a tuning fork. It was powerful, ear piercing.

491
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.240
Powerful. Again in the shack though, it was like we had those

492
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.680
ear muffs on them, so it
was different. It wasn't as piercing,

493
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.599
but you could still you could feel
it in every five year being that whole

494
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.079
place reverberated with that screen. And
again it wasn't a very long screen.

495
00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:00.960
It was pretty short, considering it
was just very tenths. It's a powerful

496
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:05.160
thing. The lower pitch part of
it. A few of the times I've

497
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.960
heard the lower end of it is
not as traumatizing as once it gets up

498
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:15.760
into that high woman being murdered pitch. That upper range in the octave is

499
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.119
what really can discombobulate you, you
know what I mean. It grabs the

500
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.320
holdie, is what it does.
Gosh. Yeah, that's the best analogy

501
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.000
I can think of, is it? You feel it through and through.

502
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.719
Let's talk a little bit about the
oral history that you mentioned, because that's

503
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.400
one thing that has come up over
and over. I just finished a book

504
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.960
a couple of months ago that'll be
out here in February, and that's one

505
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.039
of the things I talk a lot
about in the book is the oral traditions

506
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:42.960
of the Native Americans and the First
Nations, people who have relationships or have

507
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.480
had relationships with Sasquatch. Harry man, bigfoot, whatever you want to call

508
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:52.639
them throughout the years. Like you
said, it's not the forest friends.

509
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:57.039
They're not singing kumbah yah and holding
hands in the wild with these things.

510
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.199
Can you talk a little bit about
that, because I've interviewed so many many

511
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.159
people, some that come to mind
very recently, who claim to have almost

512
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.400
like habituation situations with these things,
where they're claiming that their babysitting their babies

513
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:14.079
and they're coming and you know,
they're feeding them candy and all this kom

514
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.119
by y'all stuff, And then I
hear stories like yours, and I'm sure

515
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.880
at some point the truth lies somewhere
in the middle for people. My thinking

516
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.159
has always been, if these things
are apex predators, and they are what

517
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:30.760
I think they are, they're very
dangerous. And I think that a lot

518
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.280
of people who tell their stories and
it seems to be a lot more coon

519
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.760
by y'all, tend to throw up
some red flags for me, because when

520
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.320
I hear stories like you, that's
almost what I envision these things to be

521
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.119
in my mind is some sort of
a monster. I'll give you a little

522
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.880
bit of it from an elder of
mine who is in her nineties right now,

523
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.920
part of her oral history, which
but incorporates into all of our oral

524
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:57.840
history, so to speak, because
every family has their own oral history,

525
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.760
and under those oral histories you'll have
the same types of the hairy Man,

526
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.960
the little people, pushed tata,
things of this nature, and down States

527
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.000
you got skin walker and all the
rest. Right, she was telling me

528
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:15.440
that back in the sixties on on
Alaska Island, one of these things was

529
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:21.679
imitating a known baby to lure them
out of their are a known child.

530
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.199
Oh, I get the chill stinking
of the cunning behind that, this creature

531
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.840
prying on a woman's natural instinct to
draw her out with a known baby,

532
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:36.960
mimicked it identically, her and another
relative out of the apartment, and they

533
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:38.760
tried to look for the baby and
didn't see it. And luckily they saw

534
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.679
the hairy man before it noticed right
where they were. They were able to

535
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.840
duck inside, and this thing staring
at him through the window. That's just

536
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:52.280
the level of cunning. And then
there's also all the stories that we heard

537
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:57.719
from my grandma and my aunt Lucy
and whatnot about them using bone knives,

538
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.159
stealing fish, a long oral history
of people going missing. That's The thing

539
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:07.039
I wanted to incorporate as well is
this five hundred to two thousand people go

540
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.519
missing up here every year. Now
by no means my saying, oh the

541
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.639
harry Man got them all. No, I believe there is cases where that

542
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.679
happened because it is technically it's a
part of our oral history up there,

543
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.519
you know what I mean. And
a lot of people think that shouldn't your

544
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:27.960
oral history be written down? No, if there was a non oral history,

545
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.159
it would be a written history.
Right from all the stories and stuff,

546
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:37.079
it's always been one of severe mischief, flipping boats, breaking small houses,

547
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:43.599
to stealing fish, stealing people.
There was some oral history from Flicknick

548
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.920
where they caught a young harry man, dug a big pit, put this

549
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.000
thing in the pit and had it
covered up for about four or five days.

550
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:57.159
On the fourth or fifth morning,
according to the oral history, this

551
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.079
was at their original village. They're
at their third incantation of Polygnik right now,

552
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:07.320
but before all the river freeze ups
in the moving of the village we're

553
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.360
talking over a hundred years ago,
they had this sing in a fit and

554
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.880
the fourth or fifth morning they heard
in you pick helped me. I'm cold

555
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.000
feed me. I'm hungry coming from
in the pit. So they moved the

556
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:22.840
stuff and look in there, because
every once a day they would feed this

557
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.760
thing, some fish or whatever,
trying to figure out what to do with

558
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:30.119
it. And it turned out to
be a missing woman that had been missing

559
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:35.639
for two years now. According to
the oral fishing, she was kidnapped,

560
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:42.079
turned into one, and being away
from them she transformed back. Now me,

561
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:46.159
I lean more towards prisoner exchange,
but then again I wasn't there,

562
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:51.599
and that oral history, I can't
dismiss it, you know what I mean,

563
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.280
even though I haven't personally seen it. Something that I'm sure you understand

564
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:59.480
since you did some study on it. Our oral history is very important to

565
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.840
keep us safe. So where we
know where the fishing grounds are, where

566
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:06.599
we know where the hunting grounds are, where the safe passages are, all

567
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:10.000
of that. It's taken very seriously
when we share our stories as they're called,

568
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:15.039
so I take it serious. I
just I have a hard time with

569
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.280
the shape shipping thing just because it's
contemporary age. I haven't seen that,

570
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.239
but that doesn't mean it doesn't mean
Dick, it could have been just as

571
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:28.199
they portray it. It's just one
of those things, but a long history

572
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.960
of you can't trust them, they'll
turn your back on them, they'll eat

573
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:35.360
you, they'll still your kids.
Nothing good, nothing nice. There was

574
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.960
never once that they said, oh, teach you how to weave a basket,

575
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:42.280
none of that shit. It was
all just all bad, nothing good.

576
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.920
Let's talk a little bit about you
mentioned it about the website and the

577
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:52.039
interactive map. Obviously this drove you
to action to tell other people about your

578
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:55.079
story and to protect other people.
Frankly, talk a little bit about the

579
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:59.280
website that you mentioned, Talk about
the interactive map. Where can people find

580
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.519
that and what can they expect to
see when they get there? And stay

581
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:08.960
tuned for more Sasquatch out to see. We're right back after these messages at

582
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.840
Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch dot com. On
the website, there's a map and if

583
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:21.159
you click on the map, it
has markers of all the encounters and stuff

584
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.199
that I collected pinpointed on the map. So when you zoom into an area

585
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:29.119
you clicked on a marker, it's
embedded with my YouTube channel. It'll pull

586
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:34.199
up the corresponding encounter video from that
area, and that gives people an idea

587
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.199
of oh that on the Keynoten's level. Over here, they got screened at.

588
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:42.440
Some things got thrown, and it's
not there to scare anyone. It's

589
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.079
just like being far aware, you
know what I mean. You got to

590
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.039
know the potential dangers of going into
a place, because I get stories all

591
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:53.079
the time from people that have held
onto their encounters because of the ridicule for

592
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.840
thirty forty several of them fifty plus
years, just because they didn't want to

593
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.000
get the ridicule. In a lot
of nat of people that I talked to,

594
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.960
they think I'm foolish for sharing because
they say that gus sucks. Don't

595
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.639
listen, they don't believe, So
why waste your breath. But for whoever

596
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.280
lives here or whoever's visiting here,
it can mean a lot. It can

597
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.559
be the difference between being Mary Wilson
or whoever that ends up missing without a

598
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.880
trace and no possible cause of why
they're missing without a trace. She left

599
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.719
her grandson, a two year old, in the backseat of her truck a

600
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.960
year ago July twelfth. She was
reported missing the fourteenth. They found her

601
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:35.079
truck, two year old in the
back grandson and she was gold on.

602
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:39.239
Why was she gone missing. People
cases like that that really are really strange.

603
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.719
Same with a caribou on her the
same year. A couple months later,

604
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.599
he goes missing up by coldfoot tracking
dogs would not track. He just

605
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:52.679
proof disappeared like the fart and win
man just gone. And there's countless stories

606
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:55.519
like that man, a lot of
them from the village and everywhere else.

607
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:01.000
So it's public santy for me.
And when I share other people's experiences,

608
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:07.400
I don't sensationalize anything. I keep
the integrity of the oral history by stating

609
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:09.880
just what they stated to me and
I leave it at that. I don't

610
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.679
add to it. I just catch
on the next one and leave it at

611
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:20.000
that. But yeah, that's that's
what the map's about. And there's just

612
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.920
over two hundred markers on it right
now, with the channel and stuff like

613
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.559
that I've taken on. Hey,
even if you just need to get it

614
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:29.920
off your chance and don't want it
published or public, that's fine. So

615
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.599
if I was able to publish everything
that I have, I would have well

616
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:37.719
over five hundred videos at this point. But a lot of people, especially

617
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.719
the Native people, that's superstition is
still so ingrained. Even when talking to

618
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.079
them on the phone, they'll start
whispering, but it'd be hard to hear

619
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.679
because they don't want to talk out
loud. They don't want to changibly bring

620
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.519
on the bad moments. So I
got to respect that. So I just

621
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.679
I don't publish their stories. I
just keep them walked away or whateverever you

622
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.440
put it. But yeah, anyone
can make fun of it until it happens

623
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:05.480
to them. Once it becomes real, there's no way around it. Have

624
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.679
you had other experiences with these things
after you had that experience in two thousand

625
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.239
and six, or have you pretty
much stayed out of the woods the following

626
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.960
year because I knew if I stopped
going out in the woods, ind I

627
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:19.880
knew I'd never go back. It's
in my blood. I still got in

628
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.760
the woods in this day the following
year, cause with two separate cousins and

629
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:28.639
we were just taking one of my
relatives up to No Austria Hawk to drop

630
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:30.679
month for moose hunting. It was
at the end of the salmon season,

631
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:36.920
just before hunting season. So you
have a period from like late July to

632
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.639
late August where there's nothing happening,
there's no fishing and there's no hunting yet

633
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:45.599
so you have a month's leeway to
dick around with your fishing money or whatever.

634
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:49.039
So the three of us head up
and we caught the late tide.

635
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.760
So we ended up happened inadvertently.
We camped in the worst spot we possibly

636
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:57.559
could, which was at end of
the bluffs south of Ekwalk, just between

637
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:01.199
Ekwok and the Cockwalk River. We
were right between the Cockwalk River at the

638
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.880
end of the bluff, and according
to what they say in Eggwalk, that's

639
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:09.400
the worst place to be. Well, anyway, we found out. We

640
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:14.320
pulled up, and don't mistake what
I'm telling you, we were whooping it

641
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.280
up. We were having a good
time. I had hurt my hand that

642
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.639
year. I crushed the median nerve
in my right hands. I had that

643
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.360
bandaged up and whatnot, But it
was no big deal because we weren't really

644
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:27.800
doing anything strenuous. We set up
a little pop tent because it got too

645
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.519
darkn sea on the river. There
was a bunch of beetlekilt sproofs that we

646
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:36.880
cut down, started a big bonfire, and about oh, not quite two

647
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.920
hours after dark. We weren't polluted
drunk, but we had a buzz.

648
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.400
You know what, I mean,
But all of a sudden we hear a

649
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.119
natural alhoop. It was off to
our left, seeing about sixty yards away

650
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:51.559
or so roughly, but it sounded
just like the regular bart out who got

651
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:55.559
nothing of it. A moment later, there was an imitation out hoot from

652
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:00.280
behind us, about one hundred yards
off of our left, back behind up

653
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.159
on this ridge. That was obviously
not an owl. It was a good

654
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.440
imitation, but it was so loud. There's no eight hundred pound owls out

655
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.840
there, and so we heard that, and that really caught our attention.

656
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:19.880
Our little ships and giggles all screeched
to a halt. Immediately we started piling

657
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:24.280
up that bonfire, and across the
river we heard another owl hood imitation,

658
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.079
very loud. It was so loud, in fact, that you could almost

659
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:31.239
feel it in your clothes. And
the river at that point is about eighty

660
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:36.639
yards wide. It was loud.
As soon as that one did its out

661
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:39.440
hoot thing. Then the natural ale
hoot happened again, but this time it

662
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:44.760
was obviously imitated and very loud.
And then it was like it went in

663
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.840
a circle, and we all get
back to back with our rifles. We

664
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:53.440
got this bonfire going so hot and
so tall that a little pop up tent

665
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:58.280
we set up was about twenty feet
away from the fire. It melted some

666
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.000
of the guide strings that we had
to take down it was so hot,

667
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:05.639
and we all end up back to
back. The one that we heard across

668
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.840
the river. We heard it jump
into the river. We heard it screaming

669
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:15.320
and making weird noises going further above
upriver from us. They were heard us

670
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.119
splash, heard a bunch of noise, and then once it cooded again because

671
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.519
they were doing this out when it
oops again, it was doing this click

672
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:29.039
pop simultaneously. God, it was
the creepiest sound, but it was like,

673
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:34.079
how do they do that? How
do they make that click pop simultaneously

674
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:38.840
with an olf? It was surreal. It was actually really awesome. Just

675
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:45.920
the acoustics of it was so clean, so clear click pop. I can't

676
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.760
even imitate it, but it was
really cool sounding, but terrifying because they

677
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.239
all started doing it and then it
was click pops. So we're freaked out.

678
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:57.199
We decide we're going to get out
of here. So we decide we're

679
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.679
going to jump in the skip and
drift out to the sin Her channel and

680
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:06.320
anchor out. Just watch our fire
and be have some safety. So we

681
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.559
jumped in and just as we're getting
ready to move over the boat, we

682
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:13.320
heard wrestling in the brush. But
where we were hearing it, we shouldn't

683
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:15.280
have been able to see it,
but we didn't see anything. So that

684
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.719
really freaked us out even more.
We jumped in the skiff, We dripped

685
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.239
out, We dropped the anchor,
and it takes a minute for the anchor

686
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.199
to stick and stop the drag.
And once we do, we're a little

687
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:29.000
further down then we wanted to be. But we could still see our fire

688
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.320
because we didn't want to burn the
place down, you know what I mean.

689
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:35.440
So we're sitting there in the skiff
and we're chuckling, holy shit,

690
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.079
holy shit, what the hell?
And as we're having this conversation, all

691
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:42.480
of a sudden, it sounded like
they were making a horror movie over there.

692
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:46.639
Man, these demonic sounding screams were
just ah gosh, I've never if

693
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:51.440
there was an audio guy there for
Hollywood for a horror movie, he would

694
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.360
have had a lot to work with. Man, it just it sounded like

695
00:47:54.440 --> 00:48:00.280
a bunch of loud I can't even
just a bunch of different employises. But

696
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.159
they were also fast. I wouldn't
say Samurai chattered. It was a little

697
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.280
different. It sounded a little more, you pick, but it was all

698
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:13.280
in real short first and it was
all continuous at the same time. Ended

699
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.639
up pulling one of the fire logs
at us from the woodpile because there was

700
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:21.679
pieces of it sticking out that weren't
burning. Once one of those came flying

701
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.800
at us, we pulled the anchor
line and just dripped on down. Once

702
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:29.599
we started drifting and all that,
we sobered up real fast. But once

703
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:32.679
we got down, oh gosh,
had to have been at least a few

704
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.440
miles. We ended up grounding out
on another gravel bar, but thankfully we

705
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:40.079
were out in the middle of the
river or whatever, and then we sat

706
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.880
there until first light. But yeah, definitely creeping stuff, man, it

707
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.360
definitely sounds like it. Fred I
