WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:17.559 This is an email from Matt in Ohio, and this is terrifying. I 2 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.879 had a horrifying experience when I was fourteen. I live in Youngstown, Ohio, 3 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.920 where I grew up on the north side of town, and it was 4 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.839 surrounded by old steel mills. My buddy lived directly across the street from those 5 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.560 mills, and for us it was a wonderland, a massive playground of dilapidated 6 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.039 buildings and vagrant lights where most of the businesses were shut down. There were 7 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:48.079 certain buildings that we frequented more than others, and one of them we made 8 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:53.960 our home base. We spent weeks building walls and strengthening spots so that no 9 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.600 one could get in, especially the vicious wild dogs that ran in packs through 10 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.479 the area. Our home base didn't have any stairs, so we had to 11 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.560 jump up to get in, and it made things safer for us. It 12 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.599 was right next to an active railroad that brought supplies to one of the mills 13 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.280 that was still in operation. We used to build massive fires in the middle 14 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.200 of the first floor of our home base, around which we would erect a 15 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.280 wall of big metal U shaped things to give us privacy and safety, and 16 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.000 if anyone saw us from the railroad. They would have called the cops and 17 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.920 we would have been in trouble. Well. It was Youngstown, Ohio in 18 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:38.480 the mid nineties, also known as murder Town, USA. We carried guns 19 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.159 because there were plenty of gangs around, even the Bloods and the crypts, 20 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.840 and that justified our behavior. One summer night, we were hanging out like 21 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.079 usual when we heard a pack of dogs coming and it sounded like they were 22 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.640 chasing something, so we went out to watch in case they came near. 23 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.599 From over a huge amount of coke the mills used in the still making process, 24 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.680 we heard them begin to fight, and it sounded like a violent attack 25 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.800 involving all the dogs. After a few seconds, we heard a louder dog 26 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.000 above all the others, and then the wild dogs began to scream like they 27 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.479 were being torn to pieces, and at certain points, to our horror, 28 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.719 dogs were literally being thrown over the mound in different directions. Finally, the 29 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.639 wild dogs ran away as fast as they could. The ones that survived the 30 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.919 fight and many were obviously injured, and we were in shock. About that 31 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.199 time, one of my friends screamed, what is that? Look at that 32 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.199 thing? We turned and saw a giant, wolf like animal that looked too 33 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.159 big to be real. Crawling on all fours to the top of the mound. 34 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.479 It got to the top, and, still staring after the wild dogs, 35 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.319 it lifted its head and marked its territory, and the amount of yearine 36 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.199 it released brought home the reality of how big this thing was. It scared 37 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.479 the hell out of us. One of my buddies reacted by stumbling backwards and 38 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.800 into our makeshift metal wall, and he knocked it over, but the noise 39 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.199 drew that thing's attention to us. No words can express the amount of fear 40 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.759 that we were all feeling. The memory of that moment still fills me with 41 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.599 terror, and even now the hairs on my arms were standing on end as 42 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:30.400 I write this. The thing had amber colored eyes that glowed as if they 43 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.919 had a power source behind them, and looking back, we agreed that it 44 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.000 was from the light of the huge bonfire burning behind us. It growled in 45 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.199 a low rumble, and it rattled our insides. I felt that in my 46 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.280 chest, I said. In answer. One of my buddies complained that he 47 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.719 felt white headed, while another said he felt sick to his stomach. Well, 48 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.000 I didn't feel that way. But we were all still terrified. This 49 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.360 creature then did something that was so foreign to our understanding of the world that 50 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.919 we all turned and ran. It stood up on two legs. They looked 51 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.919 like a pair of dogs legs, but the large muscles were more like those 52 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.920 of a bodybuilder, but they were bigger. We all bolted inside the building, 53 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.959 and we scrambled up the two sets of broken and missing concrete stairs to 54 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.480 the third floor. It's a miracle that none of us fell and broke a 55 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.959 leg. And one of my friends was so terrified that he was crying when 56 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.879 we got to the third floor. We had to smack and shake him to 57 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.240 calm him down. We even had to cover his mouth until he almost passed 58 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.319 out from lack of air. We were hoping the thing had left, but 59 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.959 it hadn't. After what seemed like an hour but was probably only a minute, 60 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.839 we heard it climb up onto the outside of the building so that it 61 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.800 could get in. As we held our breaths, we saw it shadows spread 62 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.920 across the far wall. Its shadow was ten times larger than the beast. 63 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.560 But we got the idea that this thing was huge. We were too scared 64 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.279 to move. No one made a sound. We should have ducked down and 65 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.600 out of sight, but we were frozen in place. It stepped into the 66 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.120 light and we had a full view of it, and it was at least 67 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.000 the size of a grizzly bear, And because it was so large, it 68 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.639 was hard not to think that we had to be dreaming. But this was 69 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.560 real, and we were agonizingly aware of that fact. It growled and sniffed 70 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.519 the air. Then one deliberate motion, it turned its head and looked straight 71 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.319 at us. It knew where we were. Its eyes glowed with that awful 72 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.560 amber fire as it began to drool in a way that said it was hungry 73 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.759 and we were about to become its meal. We knew it could have easily 74 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.639 killed us if it could reach us. It turned and looked at the stairs. 75 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.759 At that moment, another overwhelming dose of or slammed into our stomachs when 76 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.879 it began to walk over to the stairs. This thing was coming up to 77 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.199 us up the stairs, and we began to frantically look around for a way 78 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.319 to escape. Our only hope was the outside firestairs heading up to the roof, 79 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.759 and the park that went down had long since rusted away and fallen off 80 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.519 This creature hopped easily over the three missing bottom steps and was on the second 81 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.120 floor in just an instant, and as it walked over to the next set 82 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.160 of stairs, we heard the most beautiful sound we've ever heard. A train 83 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:40.279 was passing by the building. We knew they saw the fire because they blew 84 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.439 the trees and horn. The wolf creature looked out through the opening in the 85 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.240 side of the building, and in two seconds it ran out of the building 86 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.319 and it was gone. We all started screaming for help, but no one 87 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.120 heard us, but we needed to scream to release the stress. I guess 88 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.279 we felt like we were going to be okay at that moment, but that 89 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.439 didn't last for long, and when the train was no longer in hearing range, 90 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.560 fear set in again. Every sound we heard was perceived as a warning 91 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.199 that it was coming back, and I thank God that it didn't. It 92 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.759 wasn't until then that we remembered that we had three pistols with us, and 93 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.240 we got them out and we took the safeties off and headed down to the 94 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.839 second floor. There we waited for twenty seconds and we listened, and once 95 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.480 we thought it was safe, we went down to the first floor. And 96 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.240 waited an hour before we got up the nerve to go outside. With our 97 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:41.759 guns pointing in every direction and our flashlights pointing straight in front of us, 98 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.720 we made our way back to our friend's house. That was the most nerve 99 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.000 wracking part. We didn't have led flashlights back then. They were the cheap 100 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.560 plastic type that didn't offer much light. The four of them together got us 101 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.519 home, but not before we jumped at every sound and movement in the shadows, 102 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.439 and when the wild dogs began to bark somewhere in the distance, we 103 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.360 took it as our queue to run, and we didn't stop until we reached 104 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.839 my buddy's house. Those of us who are still alive talk about that night 105 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.360 every time we get together or talk on the phone. We will remember it 106 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.199 until the day we die. Whenever I hear a story about someone else's experience, 107 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.079 I'm brought right back to that night and I feel true fear again. 108 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.679 All right, here's a story from Lefty, and this is fantastic. This 109 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.840 is where I'm supposed to tell you how I'm a lifelong hunter and a hog 110 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.159 trapper and a pretty good cowboy. Well i am, but that's not important. 111 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.600 But the fact that I had recently gone through a divorce, and our 112 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.600 son and two foster sons are all grown up. As a little more relevant 113 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.080 because that is what got me in the wrong place at the wrong time. 114 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.679 Having never had an empty nest before, I got what the Canadians call a 115 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.840 cabin fever. Suddenly I had extra time and extra money, and I swear 116 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.279 I didn't know what to do with myself. I needed a new hobby or 117 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.120 three, and I ended up following a young fellow from East Texas that likes 118 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.320 to take long kayak trips on these beautiful hill country rivers and pitch a tent 119 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.960 or string a hammock between two trees on a sand bar. He and his 120 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.480 buddies all used GoPros and they fill their weekends and memory cards with adventure. 121 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.279 They do a fine job of editing their content after each trip, and I 122 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.279 figured that I would do the same. I bought a good fishing kayak and 123 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.840 a three man tent. It was designed for alpine hikers and it weighs almost 124 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.440 nothing. Now I hit the Lower Guadelupe, figuring a night or two on 125 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.159 a sand bar eating fresh fish would teach me what else I might want out 126 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.080 of life or better. Yet, what I didn't want While kayaking rapids, 127 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.519 less weight is the goals, so you don't want to get top heavy and 128 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.000 find yourself upside down. It was still a little early in the spring of 129 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.240 twenty twenty one, so the water was cold. But the good news was 130 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.519 is that I had the entire hill country to myself. Well that's how it 131 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.399 seemed at the time. Anyway. The first day was a blast, and 132 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.840 I covered a lot of miles and I camped on some private owned campground. 133 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.960 It was deserted all the way down to the river, but on the other 134 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.639 side of this parcel, which is a couple of hundred acres, I could 135 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.000 see some fancy fifth wheel campers with more pullouts and you can count. We 136 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.519 call these Winter Texans. That evening, I had the riverfront to myself and 137 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.799 it was great, and I pitched camp about twenty five feet from the water, 138 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.879 and I cooked up a day's catch. Just as I finished eating in 139 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.120 the coals from my fire burned down, I heard a commotion. Some wild 140 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.480 ducks had shared my campsite and were taking advantage of some lily pads right off 141 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.440 the bank. I moved slowly so I wouldn't spook them, but a change 142 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.480 in menu went through my mind as I observed them splashing away in the water. 143 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.440 You better be happy I got a belly full of fish, because one 144 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.879 good jump from the shoreline and I would have a waterfowl for breakfast. It 145 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.080 would prove ironic because, as it turns out, someone or something must have 146 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.039 had similar thoughts. It was right at dusk, and I had done a 147 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.320 lot of kayak dragging and paddling all day. And about the time I got 148 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.480 in the tent and my head hit the pillow, I went straight to sleep. 149 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.399 The usual night sounds like frogs, chirping and code. He's howling in 150 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.759 the distance, lulled me like an outdoorsman's lullaby. I didn't check the time, 151 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.440 but I know it was in the middle of the night when I woke 152 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.080 up. I know he's had jarred me out of my deep sleep. The 153 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.960 frogs and the bugs and the code must have run out of breath and gone 154 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.519 to bed too, because it was as silent as a graveyard. Suddenly I 155 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:11.480 heard something that clearly was very large, take a couple of running steps and 156 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.879 splash into the river. It sounded like a cow hitting the water well. 157 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.759 The ducks panicked and they took flight, and then suddenly let out one of 158 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.679 the most god awful noises I've ever heard. It was like a combination of 159 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:31.600 a giant venting frustration like Homer Simpson on steroids spouting dough, mixed with the 160 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.200 roar of a lion and the sound of a passing freight train. That sound 161 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:43.480 vibrated the fabric on my tent. I cannot even begin to replicate what I 162 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.919 heard, but I will sure I will never forget it either. At this 163 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.240 time, every hair on my body and head and everywhere else was standing on 164 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.480 end. Think of the silhouette cut out of a Halloween cat. That's about 165 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.840 how confident I felt it that moment, and I'm generally a confident guy. 166 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.000 In Texas, it has said that God created all men, but it was 167 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.639 actually Samuel Coat who made them all equal. Well, my fight or flight 168 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.039 instinct kicked in, and it must have agreed with that little saying, because 169 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.360 I didn't even have a conscious thought about what I was doing. I tilted 170 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.720 my ears in the direction of the river while my hand went for the three 171 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.879 fifty seven mag that I traveled with, and once it was in my hand, 172 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.279 I held my breath and I cocked the hammer back as silently as one 173 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.039 can cock our hammer back. I was trying to be quiet, but whatever 174 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.480 it was heard me. It was walking out of the water toward my tent. 175 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.960 I was hearing twin footsteps hitting the ground, not four of a typical 176 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.039 forest animal. It got so close I could hear it breathing, and it 177 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.559 sounded enormous. I was all nerved up, and I was trying to calm 178 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.200 myself by rationalizing that this thing was only trying to score some supper and as 179 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.360 long as I wasn't on the menu. I squeezed my buddy Sam Colt with 180 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.399 my shooting hand, and I told myself that my visitor was just that, 181 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.919 just a visitor at this point. But if he did so much as Poco 182 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.320 Paul through the door flap of my tent, I was going to put two 183 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.960 in the chest and one in the head. That would still leave me with 184 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.080 three shots, and I could do the same thing again if I needed to. 185 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.600 I was hoping in praying it wouldn't come to that. Well, Thankfully 186 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.480 it didn't, and after what seemed like an eternity, it shuffled its feet 187 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.600 and started to walk away. It must have been big. By judging its 188 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.639 great thudding footsteps that reverberated through my tent, that thing was just one itchy 189 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.080 trigger finger away from having a bad night. The next morning, I looked 190 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.320 around for tracks, and I could see some deep impressions, but that was 191 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.840 it. I packed up my outfit and I set sail, thinking about last 192 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.759 night's little battle of wits. And I didn't know who or what it was 193 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.919 for sure, but I had places to go, and I accepted this standoff 194 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.480 as a draw even as I was floating into the sunrise. But in my 195 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.440 mind I was sitting on a great horse and riding off into the sunset. 196 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.840 I wasn't coming back anytime soon either. I can assure you of that, 197 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.320 and it still gives me the heb gebis to this day. Well, I 198 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.360 made it back to civilization, and curiosity got the best of me, and 199 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.240 I got online and I listened to every wildlife recording that I could find. 200 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.759 I knew nothing else that could make a sound like what I heard that night 201 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.039 by the river. Let alone walk upright and hunt ducks without a twelve gage, 202 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.759 that is until I stumbled onto some of Ronald Morehead's Sierra sounds, and 203 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.240 I'm telling you, the very skin on my body wanted to crawl off and 204 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.440 go hide under the bed. That's some creepy stuff. And I don't mind 205 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.279 admitting that this big, tough guy does not need to hear any more of 206 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.559 that nonsense. Heck, I already could hardly sleep at night before all of 207 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.480 this. Anyway, Well, one thing led to another, and I ended 208 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.919 up on a website that keeps track of bigfoot sightings, and I was shocked 209 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.679 to hear that there's a little hotbed of activity reported near Canyon Lake, close 210 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.799 to where I was. I continued down the rabbit hole, trying to educate 211 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.679 myself, and I found some interesting channels on YouTube. The more I learned, 212 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.440 the more I was faced with the fact that I now know something exists, 213 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.840 and worse yet, there are millions of people, some who get paid 214 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:44.200 with tax money, no less, who have been lying to us. What 215 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.840 a cowpie sandwich for all of us to munch on. Hack Guys like Judge 216 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.120 roy Bean and Sam Colton. Me think suppressing the truth approaches fraud and criminal 217 00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:00.279 behavior. And I myself had not overly prone to violence, though some times 218 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.839 I'd like to smack the smirt from the government type's face in the media, 219 00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:08.480 and of course most of the entertainers who are so vocal in ridiculing people that 220 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:15.759 report the kind of things I experienced and now know are out there. As 221 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.119 I sit here typing, I occasionally reach up and make sure that my wide 222 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:25.759 brimmed tenfol cowboy hat is sitting on my head straight. There is so much 223 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.279 I distrust now in channels like yours make me feel right at home and a 224 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.039 little more comfortable with what I witnessed that night. My eyes couldn't see a 225 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:40.720 thing, but my ears new. The old timers around here never used terms 226 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.079 like bigfoot and sasquatch or skunk ape. In Texas, we call these things 227 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.799 boogers. I'm not sure how to spell it, but there's a lot of 228 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.920 things I can't spell, and what I can do is to share any in 229 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.119 awe that there are some things that go bump in the night. But maybe 230 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.160 it isn't all bad. As long as they hunt ducks and not me, 231 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.400 they won't have to meet with my friend Sam Colt. He and I are 232 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.839 basically insuperable now, but he's old like me. If you ever hear of 233 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:18.119 some poor soul climbing the walls thinking they're crazy for believing in bigfoot. You 234 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.279 can give them my number. I was in that lonely place once and my 235 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.079 mind and my mood were dark, and it's a place to visit, but 236 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.480 I decided not to live there, and I would want anyone else to live 237 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.839 there either. You are sharp and probably noticed I'm not feeling the need to 238 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.640 discuss the exact location of my little camp site. I'm also going to ask 239 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.319 you to use my nickname, which is Lefty. Some things are just nobody's 240 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:51.519 business. Piece from a kayaking hippie and an old cowpuncher from the Texas hill 241 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.799 country. Oh that's a great story. I really appreciate it. Both stories 242 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:02.319 in this podcast were good, the Dogman's story and this bigfoot story. Basically, 243 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:07.559 what happened. He went camping and apparently a bigfoot walked into his camp. 244 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.200 He never saw it. That's a long and interesting story and a really 245 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.599 well written story to describe what happened to him and his journey to find out 246 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.880 what he thinks is real and what it's not. I thought this was great. 247 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.000 I really appreciate it. Thank you guys for joining me on this podcast, 248 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.759 and we will see you on the next one. That's right, that's right.
