00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,439
Tonight's guest is Matt. Matt Welcome
to the show. Hey, it's a

2
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:34,719
pleasure to be here. Vick,
Well, it's great having you. Thank

3
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,400
you for your time. Matt.
Please give us a brief bio in yourself.

4
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,400
I currently am a workaholic. You
know, I have a few hobbies

5
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:51,359
and I do love hiking. Nothing
extreme outdoors, but I do love the

6
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,760
outdoors, taking camping, tricks,
hiking and looking at beautiful natural scenery.

7
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:01,200
Well, it's great to hear you
enjoy the outdoors so much. How was

8
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:06,120
that love the outdoor is affected though
after you have the encounter that you're going

9
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:14,080
to tell us about tonight, I
would say it's been affected a good amount,

10
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:20,000
but I don't let it hold me
back. The only stipulation I put

11
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,879
on myself would be nighttime outdoor activities. I haven't really went capping in a

12
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,400
while. I am looking forward to
doing that here later before it gets too

13
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:35,319
cold. But you know, anytime
I'm hiking and the sun starts setting,

14
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,120
I don't waste any time to hurry
up and head back. You know,

15
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:43,800
anything in the daytime is good enough
for me. Does that mean you can

16
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,560
go into the woods by yourself during
daylight hours without too much trouble. Yes,

17
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,199
I've always kind of hiked that way. I used to hike with my

18
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:02,000
siblings and they were, you know
a little bit different. We all kind

19
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,879
of went our own ways kind of
thing. You know. I used to

20
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,159
take them hiking with me. But
one of them likes more skateboarding BMX bikes,

21
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,599
And this is from a growing up
standpoint. And you know my other

22
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:16,560
simily, she's a girl's and my
sister, so she didn't really care too

23
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,719
much for the outdoors either. So
eventually I just, you know, even

24
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,039
from a teenager, I just started
going out hiking alone and got used to

25
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,599
it. You know, I'd walk
with some earphones in. You know,

26
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,719
my mom would be like, keep
one ear open at least so you are

27
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,800
aware of your surroundings. You can
at least hear what's going on. You're

28
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,599
not too immersing your music. Eventually, you know, as I've grown,

29
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,680
I've just kind of gotten used to
that. Sometimes I even switch it up

30
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
and use it as a workout and
I'll put ankle weights on or maybe just

31
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:52,080
a few pounds into a backpack and
just enjoy the scenery. So yeah,

32
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,039
that was really good advice. Your
mother gave you. Even if you don't

33
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:59,840
have dogs in in the area,
you might have mountain wins or something else

34
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,840
to deal with wild hogs. So
yeah, that's always a good idea to

35
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:08,039
do that. We're here to talk
about your dog man encounter, of course,

36
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Map, but you've got a history
of having encounters with other strange things

37
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600
as well. Well more, can
you tell us about that? Yes,

38
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,279
Big, I've you know, encountered
some pretty off the wall things that just

39
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:27,600
makes you sit there and say,
we really are not alone. You know.

40
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,000
I've from a early you know,
age around like ten eleven, not

41
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,959
necessarily puberty yet, but not a
little kid where I'm five or six,

42
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,439
old enough to know right for wrong, and old enough to know when I

43
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,879
see something that is unnatural. Our
house, our family house growing up,

44
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:50,720
had recently gotten rerinovated, and everybody
has a new beginning, and you know

45
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,839
start. You know, my brother, my sister and we used to have

46
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:59,319
a bunk beat and when we were
smaller, you know, my sister would

47
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,160
share used the bottom one, me
and my brother would chair the top one.

48
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,800
This is all we were pretty small. Z was. He got older

49
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:08,560
and the house was being renovated,
took it about a year or two,

50
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,240
but that's neither here nor there.
When we got our own separate rooms for

51
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:15,439
once, we didn't have beds,
and so, you know, I'm laying

52
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,680
on the floor a bunch of blanket. It's kind of like a palette,

53
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:23,480
very comfy, and I was pretty
much a wall sleeper, and I would

54
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:26,680
slink to the wall. Well,
I had this feeling I could not go

55
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800
to sleep, and I was laying
there is the first time being in this

56
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,839
room, no furniture or anything quite
yet except for a lamp. And I

57
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,759
had this feeling just over me,
like I'm being watched. I'm like that,

58
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:42,040
there's no way that can't be.
So I flip over. You know,

59
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,759
I have a window that faces to
the west and one that faces to

60
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,639
the north. And the one that
faces to the north is a small window

61
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,560
compared to your average, you know
sized window that you you know, it's

62
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:58,560
pretty large. Well, I look
over and I see two red eyes,

63
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,079
and that kind of like stunned or
shocked me. I was kind of like

64
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,439
I locked with the thing. I
tried to get details, but I was

65
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,480
so in fear. It was like
I was drawn into its eyes. And

66
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,199
to remind you, I'm about ten
or eleven at this time, so again

67
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:19,800
old enough to know right from but
still, you know, I still consider

68
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,959
ten or twelve is still pretty young. I was petrified. I'm not even

69
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,040
gonna lie to you. I can't
remember it's form too well. It was

70
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,720
I won't say shapeless. It wasn't
just like smoke, but it was solid

71
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,879
black. Of course, it's in
the middle of the night, and it

72
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,399
was a humanoid figure. It had
a head shape but no facial description,

73
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,040
no mouth, no ears, you
know, no eyebrows, no hair,

74
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,879
none of that. And at the
time, you know, it took me

75
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,800
even from then, it was just
her hip turned around over towards the wall.

76
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,680
I finally able to break off,
and I can't remember, so I

77
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,480
don't want to throw it in there, but I may or may not have

78
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040
turned back around. But I know
myself when I was a kid, and

79
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:08,879
I would have been too petrified to
move to even turn around. But later

80
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,800
on, as I got older,
I realized, you know, I'd always

81
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,920
realized it, but I didn't stop
to think about it. That's the second

82
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,360
floor and there is no platforms.
It's just one solid straight wall. There's

83
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:23,680
no bit of the roof, you
know, or shingles or anything to stand

84
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:27,160
over there. So as I got
older, it kind of got freak.

85
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Girls. I was thinking, there's
no way something was standing there, and

86
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,800
the height that it was standing at, it wasn't look like it was just

87
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:39,079
barely reaching peeking into the window.
It almost had like it's I would assume

88
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:43,800
a neck, but it was like
it was looking down just slightly. And

89
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,120
again I know that sounds like,
well, how could you tell there's no

90
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920
facial description, But that's the message
that I got from that. It wasn't

91
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:54,439
barely reaching it. It had no
how can I say, physics or physical

92
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,519
limitation on looking into the window at
that time. So Ever since then,

93
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,759
I've always kind of had your paranormal
things from time to time. Not enough

94
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,600
for me to live in fear,
but I think enough to remind me that

95
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:13,439
we are not alone, and it
isn't just mankind that we are just you

96
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:18,360
know, the only species or only
entities on this planet. I'll say that

97
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,120
No, as you know now,
there's a lot of other things out there

98
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,959
besides us. And speaking to that
encounter you just told us about, Wow,

99
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,800
poor a guy. That's rough.
When you're a kid, it's hard

100
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:35,240
enough not to mention having experience like
that, I can only imagine your dog

101
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,000
mean encounter happened in Oklahoma in the
middle of the night. Are you were

102
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,320
of the fact that Oklahoma is a
hot spot for dog mean encounters? No,

103
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,720
vic, I did not know that
growing up, and even as I

104
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,799
got older, just you know,
doing activities outdoors. I thought, it's

105
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:58,360
Oklahoma. Yes, anybody in the
state that anything's going on, paranormal or

106
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,759
otherwise. It's always a different state. If it's paranormal, you're thinking Nevada

107
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:09,240
or you know, the Mojave Desert
or Appalachian you know, very far off,

108
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,519
secluded kind of areas where you think, now that's someplace something weird would

109
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,840
happen. I never considered Oklahoma would
be the place where a hot spot for

110
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:24,480
dogmen. I came across your show
a few months ago, and I still

111
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,000
kind of have a driving job,
and I just love listening to it,

112
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,879
like I'm listening to a radio,
and I just listened to episode after episode

113
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:35,120
after episode, and so many of
them, you know, Oklahoma here or

114
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,759
in this period Northeastern and I'm like, wow, Okay, dogmen are cited

115
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:46,240
pretty much all over Oklahoma. So
I'm sad that those people had to see

116
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,399
it, But I'm kind of happy
at the same time remind it like,

117
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Okay, I'm not just the one
off, random, you know person that's

118
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,559
seeing a dogman in the state of
Oklahoma. Well, as you know,

119
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,679
dogmen are seeing all over period.
Yeah, they literally are all over the

120
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:07,200
place. Unfortunately, when we spoke
about your dog mean encounter for the first

121
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600
time, I got the impression that
the nightmares you suffered as a result of

122
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,559
that encounter just might have been harder
for you to deal with than the encounter

123
00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:18,679
itself. Is that an accurate assessment, Yes, big, I would say

124
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,279
that is an accurate assessment. When
I had Dean and had my encounter with

125
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,679
the dog man, it was very
frightening. It was very scary. I

126
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:35,000
mean, never seen, heard or
experience any type of level fear like that

127
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,240
in my life. But at the
same time, I kind of had a

128
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,879
how can I say, I just
thought in my brain, if I avoid

129
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:50,720
that spot, I'll be okay.
But the nightmares and the feeling of being

130
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,759
watched, even in other areas,
was worse than the encounter itself. Not

131
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,559
to take away from the encounter,
but what persisted after that for a few

132
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,080
months yes, that was definitely unpleasant. I figured that was the case.

133
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,200
If you've had a dog meant encounter
would like to speak with me about it,

134
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,039
whether I'm private or on the show, please go to dog Meet Encounters

135
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,200
dot com and submit a report.
If you've had a bigfoot siding and would

136
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,399
like to be a guest on one
of my two Bigfoot shows, please go

137
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,200
to my Bigfoot Siding dot com and
let me know. All right, Matt,

138
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,799
please tell us about your encounter.
Now give us every last detail it

139
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:37,679
comes to mind, all right,
Vick. So I was driving in between

140
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:43,600
two different towns. I was driving
leaving Cushing going towards Bristow about two in

141
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:48,279
the morning. And the reason that
I was out was for my job at

142
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:52,159
the time. Had this job where
I would travel from medical facility to medical

143
00:11:52,159 --> 00:12:01,720
facility transferring different bodily fluids so that
they could be tested. And one of

144
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,879
the things for requirements for this job
was it had to be drawn or you

145
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:09,559
know, collected, really early in
the morning so that week they could get

146
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:15,440
the results same day. So I
was familiar with being out this late at

147
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:16,559
night. This isn't a one off
a curse, I know, it just

148
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,240
happened to be out this night.
I'm out every night, almost seven days

149
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:28,039
a week, and so I typically
would take different highways. I'm familiar with

150
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,960
back roads, and it's very beautiful
when the sun does start coming up.

151
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,480
You're going through a canidpy area with
trees or even a wide open field with

152
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,759
the sun coming in. It's very
nice and relaxing for the most part.

153
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,200
And at night it could be relaxing, but you also have to be vigilant

154
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:48,080
or anything that could happen, you
know, out on the road specifically,

155
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,759
so I thought at the time would
just be deer crossing or anything like that.

156
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:56,440
You know, tire drivers was the
worst of your worries at that time.

157
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:03,519
So I was driving from Cushing to
Bristol and typically the route that I

158
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,840
would take required me to take the
toll rope. Well, I had put

159
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,240
majority of my funding towards gas and
at the time, I'm eighteen nineteen years

160
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:22,000
old and this is the round the
summertime of twenty eighteen, and so I

161
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,799
didn't really think about other things like
a toll pass, and so I didn't

162
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,039
have any money to put towards a
toll rope or get in one's hole,

163
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,080
and I waited my options, you
know, spend X amount of dollars on

164
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,279
the toll get there faster, or
I can use this money on gas.

165
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,399
It's going to make me last longer
through the week and I won't have to

166
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,840
worry about running out of gas early
and get in trouble with my job because

167
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,879
I can't make it to the next
site. So there were certain back roads

168
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,279
that I've never heard of, never
seen, kind of like the movie Wrong

169
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:58,720
Turn. And I looked at it
and it was only a couple of minutes

170
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,840
difference, maybe about ten minute.
It's your soul more. And I thought,

171
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:05,120
I looked at the distance, all
right, I'll do it. I've

172
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,080
never been down this road, but
I can do it. I'll make it.

173
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,720
So I'm driving between Cushing and Bristol, trying to get to my next

174
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:18,360
facility. It's about two in the
morning. I'm about five miles in or

175
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:26,399
so, and the terrain was pretty
flat for the most part, but it

176
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:30,759
was windy here and there. So
it was flat and straight, but windy,

177
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:35,279
kind of like when a snake slippers
and it moves, it doesn't just

178
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,039
go in a straight path from A
to B. And so at the time,

179
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:41,159
you know, I had a Dodge
Challenger. So you know, I

180
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:46,480
used to like to here and there, go ahead and put some gas on

181
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,879
it, you know, I know, you know, thinking young guy Dodge

182
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Challenger sports car. Yeah, okay, so I'm driving and I'm not listening

183
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,759
to radio, just kind of saying
vigilant again. I just like to enjoy

184
00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:03,080
this scenery and also be vigilant.
Sometimes I get calls from my job,

185
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,360
so I try to be watchful listen
for that kind of thing. Low beams

186
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:09,559
on, no reason for me to
have my high beams on. I could

187
00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:16,399
see pretty well, and this road
would have somewhat of a canopy for a

188
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,679
few miles, or the trees would
kind of lean over and touch each other

189
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,080
above the freeway. It's a one
way each direction, and so it would

190
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,159
kind of bottleneck closer towards each town. So from Cushing it was wide and

191
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,080
open, and then it would narrow
up kind of going into that canopy.

192
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,080
And here and out it would just
have multiple little pastures off to your left

193
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:43,120
or right. And this area there's
there is not a single straight light,

194
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,039
and there's not any houses. There's
no houses. If there are, maybe

195
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,000
there's a gravel road that would probably
pour out you go off for maybe a

196
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,879
mile. You know, this is
the type of place where people think,

197
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,879
if I don't want neighbors, then
this is where you would typically want to

198
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:06,399
go. And so there's no street
lights, no turnoffs, no gas stations,

199
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,279
nothing, absolutely nothing. So when
I say pitch dark, if you

200
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:11,840
wanted to get out your car and
turn your car off and look up at

201
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,120
the sky at the stars, you
could do that and you could see it

202
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,480
perfectly fine. The light pollution was
basically zero. And so I'm driving it

203
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,799
had one of those pastures, you
know, canopy and then pasture, and

204
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:30,799
for some reason, you know,
I'm looking. You know, I've done

205
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360
this before. The moon's out pretty
well. I don't remember if it was

206
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,000
a full moon, but for the
most part it probably was close to because

207
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,799
the moonlight was, I mean excellent. Either my eyes thought was really good

208
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,840
at that time, or it was
just very bright just off the moonlight alone,

209
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:49,480
and that was pretty much the only
light other than my low games from

210
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,600
my car. And you know,
at this point, again, i drive

211
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,279
it and I'm used to looking off
and look at fields every now and then

212
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,200
say wow, that's big property.
And I look over to my right just

213
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,240
slightly, and you know, my
brain isn't really triggered at the moment I'm

214
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:10,440
looking, and it's the moonlight hits
the trees. You can see a silo

215
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,079
over tree. It's black. It's
dark, and it looks like a tree.

216
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,079
And the fields though with like weed
or grass or anything like that,

217
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,839
like any kind of agriculture, kind
of comes off as as white. So

218
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,680
to say, you know, the
daytime looks gold when the sun hits it,

219
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:27,039
but at night, when the moonlight
hits, it's kind of silver color

220
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,000
looking, so you could tell light, and then you can see the trees

221
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,160
dark. Well. I look out
to my right in a passage is one

222
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,759
of these ordinary pastures, and I
see something and for some reason, you

223
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:45,799
know, most times I'm just blow
it off like that whatever, But I

224
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,000
kept thinking about it as I'm approaching
doing probably this is about a sixty again

225
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,359
very slow highway. It's it's one
way, but since it's night, I

226
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,079
try to be cautious. And it's
also like I said, for every now

227
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,559
and then it would occur, it
would here and there at left, right,

228
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,720
left, right, So I didn't
want to go too fast and get

229
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:08,079
into a type of any type of
trouble or getting off the road or losing

230
00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:14,200
traction, and so out of my
curiosity, it's just a little bit,

231
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,400
not much, probably drop it down
about fifty or so, just a little

232
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,160
bit above fifty. And the way
the road lined up right next to this

233
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,599
pasture. I was just coming out
of one of those wines, and I'm

234
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,279
looking and my brains thing is,
what is this Is that is that scarecrow?

235
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:37,319
Or it's too short for a tree, and it's too tall for a

236
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,400
person, and it's not close or
even remotely next to the tree line,

237
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,160
and it's not in the dead center
of the field. So it's not a

238
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,440
scarecrow. And I've I've seen them, but typically that that's kind of phased

239
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,119
out, that's neither here nor there. And I looked in the in the

240
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,440
right as I'm thinking this, as
I'm about to, you know, my

241
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,880
hands are on the wheel and I'm
about to say whatever. That wine had

242
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,680
ended, and it was my headlights
kind of went out just to tab it

243
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:15,240
into the field, and it caught
this thing's attention and it swung around.

244
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:22,079
It swiveled so it was facing the
tree line like it was looking for something

245
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:26,119
or watching something and the tree line, but it was standing in the middle

246
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,279
filth, and it swung around to
the right and it how can I say,

247
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:34,680
like it's upper torso. Everything swung
like it was on a swivel left

248
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:38,480
arm, right arm. Torso had
everything faced right, but its legs were

249
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,720
still facing the tree line, just
off the way that it moved. It

250
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:48,640
didn't make a full direction. It
swung around and looked dead into my soul.

251
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,559
It didn't feel like it was looking
at my car. It didn't feel

252
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:59,680
like it was looking at something unfamiliar. It locked in with my eyes and

253
00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:04,559
it felt like I was being looked
through. It did not feel like I

254
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,839
was spotted or being watched. No, it felt like it looked through me.

255
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:12,720
It was trying to get me to
acknowledge that I see you, and

256
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,880
I know that you can see me, and I want you to know that

257
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,119
I can see you in that thing
or card. They know what that is.

258
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,519
I'm pretty sure they know a lot
of things. And the moment I

259
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:32,039
saw it, it was like a
trigger in my body that everything was calm

260
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,000
just a second ago, and the
next second after seeing this, I felt

261
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:45,160
instant dread and fear, like my
bones, like my body, kind of

262
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,279
when you're overcoming a fever and you're
fighting a fever, your bones kind of

263
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,519
hurting their sore. I wouldn't say
I was in pain or sore, but

264
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:57,160
my I could feel the fear of
my bones. I don't know if you

265
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,480
could say the word trembling, but
just trying to give myself description there,

266
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,640
I could. I could feel it
in my bones. It felt primal.

267
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,680
I know it's gonna sound maybe a
little dumb for a lack of better turns,

268
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,079
but maybe this is what Caveman felt
like when an apex predator, like

269
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:19,160
when a t works was around and
you're about to get eaten. I felt

270
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:26,880
like this was something very very bad, extremely bad. I've gotten in trouble

271
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,039
at work, and you know,
it's not like the same trouble when you

272
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,680
get in trouble with your parents who
are growing up and you know you're in

273
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,319
trouble and they're like, oh,
I'm gonna talk to you when you get

274
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,799
home. It wasn't that kind of
fear you know how to handle that.

275
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,559
This was something that was so beyond
me that I was stunned for a second,

276
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:48,160
and not stunned to the point where
I'm slamming on the brakes. Mind

277
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,359
you, this has taken place within
about five to ten seconds. But all

278
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,519
this is going I mean overclocking in
my brain at at a rapid pace.

279
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,599
And the moment that I could kind
of finish that second, that that thought

280
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,480
in those few seconds as I'm passing
it, I could not blow this off

281
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:11,839
as oh, well, maybe it's
like a deer or something. It's eyeshine.

282
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,920
I know. The eyes still glowed
after my car had lined up,

283
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:19,000
after the kind of in and out, the weave in and out on the

284
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:26,359
road. Its eyes were an amber
orange like a gold color, kind of

285
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:32,119
like when you look at sap or
how can I say this, Like you

286
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,440
have those LEDs and you're charging something, you have green amber and red.

287
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,319
It was that exact amber glow,
like led eyes or something. And they

288
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:47,319
were bright. It wasn't dim,
it wasn't eyeshine. It glowed. And

289
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,720
the moment that my car straightened up
on the road, it bolted to the

290
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,519
tree line. I wasn't sure what
was gonna happen. I felt in trouble.

291
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:57,920
It was gonna come for me,
and directly you would think the quickest

292
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,319
point is from A to B.
I was just gonna charge me and that

293
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,599
was it. No, it bolted
to the tree line, and it was

294
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,119
so fluid when I saw it.
Because when I saw this, I was

295
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,960
still freaked out in just immediately look
at the road and not look at it

296
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,839
anymore. I was still thinking my
head, oh my lord, what is

297
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,880
that. I've never seen anything like
this before in my entire life, and

298
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,440
I'm freaking out. It bolted to
the tree line, and I how can

299
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,720
I put it? You know,
when joggers run or we run, or

300
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:30,880
even though if you look at a
car ac we know how motion looks like,

301
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:36,440
or what physics is and how something
should look or how can I say,

302
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,880
like lack of a better term again, but functual, how does something

303
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,720
move to get to a to b? You know? And the movies you

304
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,960
know, and you see like the
ghosts, they are kind of feet kind

305
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,559
of lift up and it's just one
fluid motion or like magneto and he lifts

306
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:55,319
himself up and he just flows to
you fluidly. It had that, but

307
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,839
it was still making contact with the
ground. I could slee its legs moving,

308
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:02,640
but it was so flew it.
Now I'm in the car, my

309
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,440
windows are rolled up. I didn't
necessarily hear it, like if there was

310
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,880
pounding or stomping or anything like that. But again, the way that it

311
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,400
moved, even with my windows down, how fast that moved, I probably

312
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,519
wouldn't have hurt much anyways, based
on how fast it was, and it

313
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:23,160
went into the tree line. At
this moment, I felt like it's on.

314
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,440
I gotta get out of here right
now. And I'm a younger guy

315
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,799
again, so I've already I've played
around my Dodge Challenger. I know the

316
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:36,079
endi out of this car. I've
had it for a few years now,

317
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,359
i know my limits, and I've
banged some corners not necessarily, like went

318
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,720
off the curve, and you know, I know when it's gonna lose traction

319
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:51,680
and when is to slow down,
and what I need to do to keep

320
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,960
myself on the road. I'll just
keep it at that. So I flow

321
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,559
it out and I go from this
fifty to sixty now, Like I said,

322
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,240
I just got out of a line. So the road's gonna be straight

323
00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:07,519
for maybe a mile or two before
it gets windy again. I flooring,

324
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,640
and I think I'm gonna leave this
thing in the dust. If it's some

325
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
kind of dog or something like that. I'm out of here, and I

326
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:21,519
still can't fit. I felt like
kind of like a spiritual tether. I

327
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:26,839
don't know. It was so dark
that I think when I saw it,

328
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,440
it knew that I couldn't see it. And maybe it knows our deepest fear

329
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,720
or what we try to ignore,
and it for some reason in my body.

330
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:38,240
I can't relaying that I could feel
it off to my right, and

331
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:45,240
I could feel it pacing with my
car because something was right with the same

332
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:49,359
speed around sixty and sixty five and
I'm trying to crawl up to seventy.

333
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,440
But again, I know at this
point I'm approaching near the end of my

334
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,319
mile. It's about to get windy
again. They have signs that lets you

335
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,359
know, hey, slow down,
it's about to be a wine here.

336
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:03,079
And in my head and like,
I want to slow down for safety reasons,

337
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,720
but I'm thinking in my head,
if I get off track, if

338
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:14,119
I lose any traction or you know, it's it's one of those areas now

339
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,599
where I just left the pasture and
the canopy. If I get off even

340
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,079
not even two feet three ft,
I'm gonna hit a tree or worse,

341
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,519
even if I go off traction just
a little bit, if I can't get

342
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:30,920
my tire the car sets a loof. I can't get it back. It's

343
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,319
gonna, you know, veer off
to the side, and I don't that

344
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,799
those precious seconds. I can't afford
to stick around any longer than I already

345
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:45,839
have, and I could feel it
getting closer to me. I don't know

346
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,680
how to explain it, but I
felt it watching me the entire time.

347
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,960
I'm going sixty in it, and
I just make it out of the first

348
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,000
wine. I floor it again.
I get up to seven. This thing

349
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:04,000
is keeping pace, and at seventy
I realized it doesn't matter how fast I

350
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,599
go, I'm not going to be
able to speed my way out of this.

351
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,160
I have to get out of this
area now and get to some kind

352
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,640
of civilization something, get into an
open area where I can actually get eyes

353
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,519
on it. And there was a
point where I said, well, at

354
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:21,160
least I can't see it. It's
like it was reading my mind or something.

355
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,039
I was like, at least I
can't physically see its face. And

356
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,960
I felt like the distance I felt
that gap closed even more, like it

357
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,559
was looking through my passenger window and
then my peripheral vision. I keep my

358
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:36,680
arms a row because again, I
said, if I take my eyes off

359
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
for even a second, two seconds
or even just half a second, and

360
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:44,160
I'm not paying attention. I'm gonna
veer off, and I'm definitely cooked at

361
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,200
that point, and I could feel
it's I'm again, I'm going off periph

362
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,480
roel. So I can't say I
had pupils on, you know, looking

363
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:56,160
I looked over to my right,
but I could see it come up and

364
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,839
all the while doing sixty sixty five. It's not a dead stop. It

365
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,000
came up to the passenger's side window, and it looked and kind of like

366
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,960
when a person's angry, you know, your eyebrows kind of bowing, you

367
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,240
know that that upset look. It
looked like that, and it raised its

368
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:21,920
upper lip like when you see,
uh, like when a dog gets mad,

369
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,480
but they're not they're not off,
uh you know, crazy mad.

370
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,440
They're they're like a well trained dog. Like as you approach maybe somebody's your

371
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,799
friend's house growing up, or you
approach a house or something that's being guarding,

372
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,400
the dog gets off of its legs
and it stands up and it slowly

373
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,319
curls its lip up that you know
it's not playing, and as you get

374
00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:41,440
closer, it starts to growl and
show even more teeth. It did that,

375
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,720
it lifted its lips. It's high
and I could tell even in mind

376
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:51,680
peripheral those teeth were sharp, and
I kind of got the jitters or a

377
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,680
little bit of a ship, just
kind of kind of thinking about that.

378
00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:59,720
But it let me know. And
then it's one swift motion, went right

379
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,480
back to the tree line and start
pacing me. I knew, oh,

380
00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:06,319
I at the point, at this
point, I already knew it before.

381
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,440
But I cannot stop for anything.
I have to be cautious. I hope

382
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,079
it. I'm just I wasn't sure
if it was trying to pace me so

383
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,680
it could get in front of me
and dump out of my car, or

384
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:21,079
if it was just gonna go head
on through my passenger window now that it's

385
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,960
trying to let itself be known.
And that didn't happen until I thought,

386
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,359
oh, well, it's dark.
But you know, I try to be

387
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,720
one of those skeptical people. I
didn't really see what it was. I

388
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,119
can't really say what it was.
I know I saw the glowing eyes,

389
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,240
but it can't be what I think
it is. I'd already thought it when

390
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,200
I saw it, but I thought, where will And it's like it came

391
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,359
up to my wind to confirm,
like, no, you saw me.

392
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,920
I am a well now I know
the term dog man, but I'm a

393
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,400
dog man and I saw you,
and I want you to fill pure dread.

394
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,440
I felt hate it, even though
I didn't do anything. I felt

395
00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:03,319
hate it and ugly and everything that
you could feel. That's a horrible feeling.

396
00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:08,119
So you got happiness, joy I
felt the opposite, depressed, hopeless

397
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,440
that no matter what I do,
I'm in trouble. I'm in serious trouble.

398
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:19,799
And I felt the fear worst of
imminent death. I I can't explain

399
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:25,440
it. I felt literal death,
and even though I was living, still

400
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:32,680
drawing breath, I felt like I
was dead. And I'm I'm just about

401
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,640
almost out of the scenario. I'm
almost out of my situation. This that

402
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,240
the face encounter happened while I'm about
halfway through. I still have a few

403
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,480
more wines to get through, a
few more straight spots, and I'm flooring

404
00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,440
it and I'm trying to get out
of here. And you know, it

405
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:55,480
wasn't really hot. I'm sweating.
My body is hot. I can't,

406
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:59,440
you know, smell anything, So
there's no smell or no hearing anything,

407
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,880
but it was so fluid, and
then my brain I kept thinking, there's

408
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,680
trees, how is it waving out? How is this thing not slowing down

409
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,240
for even a second? You know, I like, I said, I've

410
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,200
been hiking, how can maneuver?
But at the same time, I'm thinking,

411
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:18,079
no, Matt, stay focused,
eyes on the road. And I

412
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:22,079
got through the last, the last
weave, and I said, thank god,

413
00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:26,720
I can smash floor it. And
I you know, because I've I

414
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,599
was looking. You know, I've
already seen. I know because it says

415
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,759
that the town named Bristol coming up
population and I know there's a bridge at

416
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,759
the end. I floored. At
this point, I'm doing eighty, but

417
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:41,440
this is one of those highway roads
that pours off into like a main road

418
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,000
there, so there is a street
lights. I said, I don't care.

419
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:45,960
I'm gonna have to do it if
I'm gonna throw it a neutral and

420
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:49,759
slam on the brake. But I
get all the way up to eighty and

421
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,680
right as the last I say,
like five seconds. I don't know this

422
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:57,359
thing's speed's limit. But after I
broke almost up to that eighty ninety bears

423
00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:02,200
slowed down a little bit, but
That's only because as soon as I where

424
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,000
it said city limit, there was
a like a maybe like a what was

425
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:09,640
it? Off to the right,
it was and it had tanks on it.

426
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,039
I don't know if there was a
water filtration system or maybe some kind

427
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:19,119
of gas vacuum pump thing, or
maybe septic pump company that had a few

428
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,880
pump trucks there. But as soon
as I hit that, because I was

429
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,119
at the edge of the city limits, it was like dread, the fear,

430
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,640
the feeling like I was gonna die, all that went away. I

431
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,079
still felt anxietized because I'm still thinking
that was a natural feeling. All the

432
00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:42,440
other feelings were a natural, unnatural. It was relief, but also still

433
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,960
heavily scared and anxietized, you know, anxiety. I didn't feel like I

434
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:54,559
was being chased, but I still
had that looking over my shoulder, like

435
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,480
you know, head on a swell
with left, right, left, right,

436
00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:00,200
you know where could it be?
Now, there's lights in this town.

437
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,359
To get it's a tiny town,
but I mean it's still a town.

438
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,799
It has lights. And you know
a few stores that even though they're

439
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:08,920
closed, they have their lights out
on the front. And I get to

440
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,759
my medical facility, I draw the
blood that I need to draw and get

441
00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:15,799
my collect my other samples that I
need to get while I'm there, and

442
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:22,480
I went my other way. Now
my head, you know, I'm still

443
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:25,839
the whole night, I'm doing my
job. And it's kind of like when

444
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:30,279
you're dealing with something serious your life. You go to work and you kind

445
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:35,200
of going on a pilot. You
know you're doing a job, but you've

446
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,960
done this job so long that you
can do it with your eyes. Schools

447
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,640
figures almost you know, figure these
speaking, you know, and I'm thinking,

448
00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:47,799
what was that? What did I
just see? Hold on the story

449
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:51,559
you know mom and dad, you
know parents tell when they're growing up,

450
00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:54,680
or what you see on cartoons as
kids like Scooby Doo like no where else

451
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:59,960
are real? And then I beg
the question, Oh my goodness, great,

452
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,240
it's just what else is real?
You know, Aliens or big Foot?

453
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,360
Uh, you know paranormal stuff.
Now, I, like I said,

454
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,639
as a kid, I've seen some
stuff, so I known about that,

455
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:16,760
but this opened up a whole new
world to me that we are not

456
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:22,960
alone. The main thing that we
have that we've advanced in is lights,

457
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,960
being able to have light and dark
and light up areas and we clustered together.

458
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:39,000
So that's that was my initial encounter
with the dog men, and it

459
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:45,719
kind of goes on from there.
That was night one. So the nightmares,

460
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:57,039
those began shortly after I had the
other physical encounters. Some of them

461
00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:06,760
were in between. Once I had
seeing the dog Man, it was like

462
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,840
I had was locked onto and maybe
not locked onto like what other people say

463
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,119
that they were followed home. I
think the Lord. I wasn't followed back

464
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:22,480
to my house, but kind of
like a spiritual personally locked onto. It

465
00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:29,440
didn't matter where I go. I
started having, you know, nightmares.

466
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:34,559
Followed with some other physical encounters,
or at least believed to be physical.

467
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,320
I still had to travel down this
road for the next three or four nights

468
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:45,119
or so, just because I again
I had already allocated all my money towards

469
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:51,559
gas and nothing for the toll.
And the times that I would sleep,

470
00:35:52,880 --> 00:36:00,400
I couldn't sleep well. It was
like I would hear things, and it

471
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:09,480
wasn't just when you have a nightmare
where you know I'm lost or irrational type

472
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:13,679
of things that don't make sense,
but you you're like I was scared of

473
00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:17,480
that. That was a nightmare.
No, these things were like people calling

474
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:22,760
out from the dead or what I
perceive this, you know, hell.

475
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,360
And they didn't call me by name, but you know I would. I

476
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,519
would take little cat naps in between
my routes. Again, this is all

477
00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:36,400
in the middle of the night.
And sometimes I get to a site an

478
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,880
hour earlier, thirty minutes early,
because they protected samples I needed from the

479
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,320
previous site were either half or either
half of that half, so I didn't

480
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,079
spend as nearly as much time as
I needed to do at that site versus

481
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:52,519
my next site. So I still
would use majority that that spare time to

482
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:55,400
go into the site and get that
one done earlier, but I'd also take

483
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,199
a little give a little time back
to myself and take a little cat naps

484
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:05,719
five ten minute now. And in
these naps felt like eternity. I had

485
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:14,679
one where people were calling out to
me and crying and it was like I

486
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,440
was somewhere I couldn't see anything.
This is all just audible. And they

487
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:25,719
said, you know, they're like
wailing, like like you know, sadd

488
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,480
oh, you know, kind of
like that when people think they hear a

489
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:35,599
ghost. And it was like not
joyous, but like they had found a

490
00:37:35,639 --> 00:37:39,119
hope or something, and they're like, oh, there is there is help,

491
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:43,440
help us, how not? And
it's and built up from a well

492
00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:46,599
to a literal screen. And there's
five or six of them that I almost

493
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:51,440
had them like that jolt when you
wake up or a heart attack, you

494
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,159
know that the where you shoot up
and you're in a ninety you know degree

495
00:37:54,239 --> 00:38:00,159
angle for your legs to your back, and I I'd cry. I had

496
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:01,760
a little bit when I heard that. You know, I was still trying

497
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:07,960
to piece together what had just happened
the night before. But was that hell

498
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:10,239
or what was that? Who am
I hearing? Who are these people and

499
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,400
those were spirits? Am I being
toy to business an illusion? Or am

500
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,719
I really just freaked out by this
whole scenario. I'm having nightmares and I

501
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,440
had somewhere because I started getting less
and less sleep from this, because I

502
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,840
was I was getting to the point
where, almost like in the Freddy Krueger

503
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,159
movies, I didn't want to sleep. So it caused me to be even

504
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:36,480
more tired on the road. And
there were times where, you know,

505
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:42,840
I had a mini dream that I
was driving down the same road and I

506
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,079
looked up just slightly and there was
a cloud and it was so low,

507
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,519
and it was a skeleton, not
a skeleton, just a skull, you

508
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:53,639
know, just like you see in
any skeletal. You know, it was

509
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:57,960
a human skull, but not a
It was a shape of the school.

510
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,519
Let me say that. And the
the interpretation I got from the dream was

511
00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:05,719
death looming over me. And I
looked at and I looked down the road

512
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,760
now before I could see or recognize
in the road. I woke up from

513
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:14,679
that dream and I said, oh, what am I dealing with? What

514
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,440
is all of this? And it
just the only place I felt safe to

515
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,400
sleep was at home with you know, my girlfriend when she was off shift.

516
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:28,679
I felt always felt better to have
somebody with me. But the nightmares

517
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,960
went on, and there was times
where I'd have dreams. I think they

518
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,119
became a sleep paralysis, you know, when your eyes kind of opened up

519
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:39,880
just slightly and I'd sleep and I'd
just slump in my card, leave my

520
00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:44,199
car seat back before going to my
next side, and you know you're looking

521
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,360
at your passenger side where the passenger
feet would be at well, I would

522
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,639
sometimes put my lab bags down there. There are times where I put it

523
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,599
in my passenger seat sometimes I didn't
always put him in the bottom, and

524
00:39:54,639 --> 00:40:05,400
there was nothing there, and I
thought I saw a pale child sitting crisscross

525
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:13,480
apple sauce with the biggest eyes.
And I my heart started pounding because I

526
00:40:13,519 --> 00:40:16,360
can't move and I can't wake up. And I woke up, and that's

527
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,599
where you wake here, almost I
would say, hyperventilating. But I turned

528
00:40:22,599 --> 00:40:25,000
on, like you know, I
turned the car on. I put all

529
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:29,559
the lights in that you the interior
lights, and I looked down and my

530
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:36,519
you know, it would be in
the space for something small like that,

531
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:38,960
But why why are you sitting there
just staring at me? And I just

532
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:45,920
started I felt like I was being
just watched, not necessarily by like the

533
00:40:46,039 --> 00:40:51,079
spiritual side of things, but like
I would get out and I'd be walking

534
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:52,639
in the nursing homes and I just
looked. I wanted to stay away from

535
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:58,000
any dark vegetation. If it didn't
have lights, I will park on the

536
00:40:58,039 --> 00:41:00,400
other side of the building if I
have to. And if this is a

537
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,559
mandatory lock door and I have to
go through this specific door for security reasons,

538
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,360
I'm fast paced walking. I don't
care if I look crazy. I'm

539
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,960
gonna hurry if you get in here, because again most of my work is

540
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:17,599
at night, and in Oklahoma and
specifically small towns there, there's only maybe

541
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:22,639
like a mile two or maybe five
mile radius before you're right back into the

542
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:25,519
open fields and open woods. Or
you know, even if its own property,

543
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:30,199
we're talking acres so big that yeah, there's a house on it,

544
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:35,480
but it might be so many acres
do that way or this way to where

545
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,159
if a dogman or something wanted to
lurk and creep around undetected and free and

546
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:44,880
not be watched, this is the
state, This would be the area to

547
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:50,719
do it. And I still had
to take this road. There's a few

548
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,280
other counters, not necessarily dog men. And again my brain I was thinking

549
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:59,480
where Wolf. I wasn't sure of
anything, you know, I I started

550
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,719
asking around at nursing homes without trying
to look like a madman, you know,

551
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:08,239
I have you seen anything in the
area or is there you know,

552
00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:14,960
anything weird in the area, Like
well, you know, we get all

553
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,840
kinds of weird stuff. They're more
talking about like just weird people. It's

554
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,159
like, no, if you ever
like see anything weird out at night in

555
00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:24,800
the field, and you know,
they're like, oh, ask so and

556
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:30,360
so, and I'd go over to
that nurse or this medical person, and

557
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,519
you know, they're like, oh, well, describe a little bit more.

558
00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:37,079
And I describe it and they're like, oh, you're talking about this,

559
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:43,159
and some of them will look upset
that I even ask. Some of

560
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:47,840
them look like they'll tell me.
But again it looked like an I won't

561
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,679
say irritability, but that ay,
I'm telling you this, but don't never

562
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,119
ask me again. And they would
say skin walker or some type of shape

563
00:42:55,119 --> 00:43:00,920
ship or of some type, and
you know, and so I kind of

564
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,920
rolled with that, but I was
like, I really think it was a

565
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:09,719
werewolf. So the next few nights, I'm driving and I'm hyper vigilant.

566
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,800
Now I'm looking left and right,
and I said, okay, I'm gonna

567
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:15,719
on the straight parts. I'm gonna
speed through and on the cruise was slowed

568
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:22,679
on just a little bit, speed
through and I'm just gonna be cautious.

569
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,480
And I said, when I approached
that area that I saw it, I'm

570
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:30,519
going to be hyper vigilant, keep
my eyes on the road. And so

571
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:35,239
I'm driving and then like about halfway
through, So the initial part of the

572
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,960
story happened around somewhere five six seven
miles and nothing happened. I didn't feel

573
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,440
any bad feelings, any weird vibes. All I saw was just dark woods,

574
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,079
then open field and dark woods and
open filled And they said, you

575
00:43:46,119 --> 00:43:54,440
know what, it's nothing to worry
about. And I see a guy and

576
00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:59,639
uh, kind of like what you
see with a mechanic or a trash man.

577
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:04,159
They have the navy blue jumper and
they have like the green with the

578
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:08,000
silver in the middle, reflectors on
the arms and the legs. And something

579
00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:15,119
felt in my body not scary wise
to slow down and help this person or

580
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,360
slow down check on him, because
I mean, it's in the middle of

581
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,880
the woods. He looks I won't
say loss. He's walking the opposite direction.

582
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,079
So he's walking, you know,
like he's if he was driving a

583
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:28,119
car, you know, he'd be
going the other way. And so,

584
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,400
you know, he sticks at his
thumb like the usual hitchhiker thing to do.

585
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:35,880
But I couldn't see his face.
His head was tilted down, and

586
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,360
I looked at the right or be
his right side of his chest left for

587
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:43,039
me, because you know, everybody
knows those kind of generic, you know,

588
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:46,119
classic uniforms. They have the name
tag sewn into it. There was

589
00:44:46,159 --> 00:44:52,239
no name tag on it. There's
nothing there. And I looked and I

590
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,800
kind of got a more of an
uncanny or not scary, but creepy feeling.

591
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:02,360
And as I looked, I saw
just a little bit and he had

592
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,000
a ball cap on average ball cap
wasn't anything significant. It might have been

593
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:13,559
your camper camo color. And he's
smirked left side and face just plain,

594
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:16,599
but the right side smirked. And
I thought, what a weird thing to

595
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:20,079
do as a hitchhiker, and I
floored it out. I didn't give it

596
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:22,239
any thought that, hey, this
is the same road that I saw that

597
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,360
thing. I didn't ask in the
in the aspect of, hey, I

598
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,039
don't want this guy walking around here
with this thing out here. But after

599
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,679
that, I was like, oh, maybe it's gone. He's gonna deal

600
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:36,760
with this self. That's weird to
smirking me like that floor it out there.

601
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,280
Rest of the way out, you
know, the other half of it.

602
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,719
Nothing. I was like, Okay, I made it. I didn't

603
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,440
see a hitchhiker. Threw that out
in the back of my mind because I'm

604
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,639
still dealing with these nightmares. So
seeing that guy was at least at my

605
00:45:47,679 --> 00:45:52,639
problems at the time. Go home, rents, repeat, sleep, eat,

606
00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:57,199
get out, go to work,
do my other sites. Fear free

607
00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:00,159
and I'm like, oh, man, I can't get a good they're in

608
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:02,360
a row. Nothing happened last night
other than that guy. I should be

609
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:09,119
fine. And I drive again most
of the way and I've already passed the

610
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:14,880
area where I saw the dog man, and you know, a little bit

611
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:21,679
more than half at this point,
and I'm driving nothing, and I see

612
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,440
something jump out in front of the
road, maybe enough at the end of

613
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,400
my headlights. It wasn't like,
oh, something very far back where it

614
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,360
just reflected. No, it jumped
out in front of my headlights. I

615
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:39,800
would say that it jumped out thirty
forty feet range. So it's close enough,

616
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,000
and I have twenty twenty visions,
close enough for me to make out

617
00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:45,960
everything I'm seeing. First of it
was a rabbit, and the rabbit just

618
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:52,960
run straight across. And then I
see a coyot or a dog, and

619
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:58,880
it stopped and looked at my car. It looked over and made eye contact.

620
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:01,960
And then as that happened, a
board came out and chased the dog.

621
00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:06,119
I mean, I'm thinking in my
head did. I just see what

622
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:08,719
I saw, and the board did
the same thing. It stopped looked me

623
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,719
dead in my eyes. Now,
the board just kind of looked weird,

624
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,119
just because you know, you see
him. They are out here. It

625
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:19,519
is Oklahoma. It's not like super
uncommon, but they're out here. So

626
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:22,440
it wasn't like, you know,
I'm Theyking oh Man supernatural board. But

627
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,280
its eyes looked a little funny,
but I mean it was. It was

628
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,559
right in front of my headlights and
that was eyeshine, and it went on

629
00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:35,679
and it kind of moved just a
little bit and then stopped and it sat

630
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,159
a little bit, and so I
I read my engine and it got up

631
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:40,199
and then it walked away, and
I was like, okay, this is

632
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,320
weird. So you know, I
don't afford it out still animals, and

633
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,559
I've heard the stories. You know, you never heard the dare. You

634
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:50,440
don't hit a goose. You don't
hit any animals for no reason. For

635
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,239
one, that's just your humane and
second of all, their bones are dents.

636
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,079
You're gonna mess your car up.
So you know, I make sure

637
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,880
get off the throw and I get
up out of there and I get to

638
00:48:00,039 --> 00:48:05,280
my medical facility. I'm thinking Okay, made it through the third night unscathed.

639
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:08,079
Nothing weird, just a couple of
wild animals. Then I go,

640
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,679
you know, home rents. Repeat. I'm telling this all to my girlfriend

641
00:48:13,679 --> 00:48:17,000
at the time, too, and
she's thinking these had her own experiences,

642
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:24,360
and she is with me one hundred
percent. It wasn't super skeptical. Now

643
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:30,519
my co workers, my supervisor,
my manager, nobody believes me. Oh,

644
00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:34,000
Matt, you're just tired. Just
just go on and get some sleep.

645
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,400
You know. There was times where
when I told him, I even

646
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,480
cried when I got to office.
From the first sight that they've they're thinking

647
00:48:40,519 --> 00:48:45,199
I'm just getting delusional from losing sleep. They're like, somebody take all his

648
00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:47,480
lab work and you process before I'm
Matt, go home, get some sleep.

649
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,000
I get some sleep, but no
amount of sleep is gonna fix what's

650
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:54,800
going on. And not to mention
the nightmares, more sleep just means more

651
00:48:54,920 --> 00:49:01,079
nightmares or longer nightmares. So that
happened after first night. I keep telling

652
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:06,000
them, you know, I'm putting
in a request to change shifts. I

653
00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:08,039
don't want to work nights anymore.
I'm getting freaked out by this. Now

654
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,840
this is the fourth night and I'm
about to get paid, and I said,

655
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,039
I don't care how I'm gonna do
it. I'm gonna get a freeway

656
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:22,480
pass. I'm never going down this
road ever. Again, this is because

657
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:24,360
I have to do it. And
that was dumb, and I'm thinking the

658
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:29,159
whole time being myself up. If
I just not bought this fast food,

659
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,159
or if I had not bought this
unneeded item. I kind of got a

660
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:36,679
pike pass and avoided this whole situation. And on the fourth night, I'm

661
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:43,360
driving, and this is just before
that field where I saw the dogment,

662
00:49:43,679 --> 00:49:47,800
and again I got that overwhelming feeling
up to help. I saw a lady,

663
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,400
a woman, and the way the
moonlight was it was just like the

664
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,800
first night. You know, this
all relatively happened in four days, so

665
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,760
the moonlight's still relatively whatever cycle it's
And again I'm not looking at the moon

666
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,719
every single day, but it was
pretty much fool around that time. So

667
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:15,000
anyways, carry on. She was
wearing a white sleeping gown. And at

668
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,519
this time I went a lot slower
than I did the other guy, because

669
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:22,920
I actually I was getting ready to
lean over to open the door, my

670
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:29,320
passenger door, and I got a
good enough look this and let me be

671
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,280
a frank, I said, medical
facilities. But I'm not explaining too much

672
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,119
further after that, but work in
the nursing homes. A few nursing homes,

673
00:50:36,159 --> 00:50:42,239
and so I generally see, you
know, what is the typical modern

674
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:47,440
day sleeping gown, you know?
And this wasn't that. This was very

675
00:50:47,679 --> 00:50:57,480
old like bonnet style hold. This
was like an eighteen hundreds style sleeping down.

676
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,239
It just looks so bland, a
little ruffled up, maybe a little

677
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,239
bit dirty, but not like they
rolled in mud. But it just looked

678
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:13,320
dated, very dated, and I
could tell. And the hair was white

679
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,719
and long, untamed, but not
like so frizzled like a bush, but

680
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,880
frizzy enough where it wasn't it wasn't
it wasn't groomed or taken care of.

681
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,440
And it poured all off the side
of her heads down her neck, popped

682
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,719
down her back and say, I
say, come down to like stomach lit

683
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:36,280
and it covered her front or her
face. Now my brain correlated the last

684
00:51:36,599 --> 00:51:39,280
incident with the guy, why are
you covering your eyes? All I could

685
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:44,800
see was the chin and there was
no smiler or anything like that. And

686
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,480
she didn't even raise out her thumb. This one moved the other guy.

687
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,639
He was walking a little bit this
one instead of just walking like she's walking

688
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:59,639
aside from me. As I'm about
to slow down, she turned to the

689
00:51:59,639 --> 00:52:01,599
direct know my car, not that
she was gonna reach for the handler or

690
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:06,880
anything, but like she was waiting
to be invited in. And I almost

691
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,400
reached open and opened the door,
and I jerked back and said, wait

692
00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:16,360
a second, and I floored it
out of there. And when I did

693
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:23,000
that, I again the dass Challenger
has a very thick bar in the back

694
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:25,760
for the brake light. I love
it so even if you were foots not

695
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,800
on the brake, it's a red
just like outer glow and your rear view.

696
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,760
Mari, and I don't have any
tin. I didn't have any tin

697
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,079
in that car, so I could
see pretty much read within like five ish

698
00:52:37,159 --> 00:52:43,199
t ish feet behind me, and
as I drive off and then super floored

699
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,559
off, but I put some speed
behind it and I got back to my

700
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:50,880
regular travel speed, and I looked, and I saw she walked out in

701
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:55,639
the middle of the road and faced
my car, just staring as as you

702
00:52:55,639 --> 00:53:00,599
know, facing my direction. Though
I never saw the eyes, I never

703
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:10,480
saw any facial details. After that, I was done with these encounters.

704
00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:15,920
I had finally, you know,
gotten paid the next day. On top

705
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:22,360
of that, I told I don't
like giving ultimatums at all. I'm a

706
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,519
very nice guy. I will do
what a company says. You know,

707
00:53:24,639 --> 00:53:28,280
I also think about me. I'm
a human being, yest, but I'm

708
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,719
also a get it done kind of
guy. But with this I let him

709
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:35,119
know. I said, hey,
you don't take me off nights. I

710
00:53:35,199 --> 00:53:38,440
quit and I made that abundant.
There have been things have been pushed over

711
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:43,039
before with but not with this.
And they saw that I was serious,

712
00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:45,559
and they're like, okay, all
right, we'll put you on eight to

713
00:53:45,679 --> 00:53:50,920
three. Said sounds great, that
works for me, and I switch shift.

714
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,360
That was my last night shift working
for this company. After that,

715
00:53:57,199 --> 00:54:04,519
things dissipated, the nightmares dissipated,
no dogment encounters, nothing crazy. After

716
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:07,599
that, I start working days.
I got used to sleeping at nights again.

717
00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:13,639
I felt a whole lot safer.
I felt more relaxed, But those

718
00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:19,760
thoughts kept coming back, the screaming
in and the dreams, the glowing amber

719
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:27,559
eyes in the field, the hitchhikers
that there's like I said, this is

720
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,400
miles apart from end to end.
No street lights, you don't even have

721
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,639
your flashlight on for a phone.
That things, little things I would think

722
00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:39,320
about red flags would come up,
and I said that was not a human

723
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:47,079
being. Those weren't actual people.
There's no properties within miles, so a

724
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:52,440
lot I could actually focus and think
about what I digest, what I had

725
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:59,199
saw further down the road. But
never I made a thing, even in

726
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,960
the daytime. I never went down
that highway again, not even for kicks

727
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:08,000
and giggles or you know, memorily. I don't ever want to go down

728
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:15,280
that road ever again. I can't
say I'll blame me after all those wild

729
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,599
experiences. Holy yeah, you really
went through it. Yes, absolutely,

730
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:27,519
I've had a more open mind since
then to the whole you watch Halea movies

731
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:30,800
or anything else, but I know
I remind myself we are not alone.

732
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:39,800
We are not alone, and respect
the woods. I've heard some of your

733
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:44,880
other episodes. I don't know what
I would do if I was like on

734
00:55:45,079 --> 00:55:50,679
foot hiking and I saw it,
or I was walking and I saw it.

735
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:57,159
I could not imagine the terror level
of terror I would feel. If

736
00:55:57,199 --> 00:56:00,559
I actually saw it and I heard
it or smelt it, I probably would

737
00:56:00,599 --> 00:56:04,159
have sent me over the edge.
I'm not even gonna lie. Well,

738
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:07,760
after going through all those strange things, I think you deserve a lot of

739
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,320
credit for just holding it together.

743
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,119
I've got a lot of questions I
want to ask you about these experiences,

744
00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:34,159
but we're up against it time wise. Would you be willing to come back

745
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:37,000
and do a part two where I
could ask you all these questions. Yes,

746
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:42,000
I'd be available for a part two. Vic, Oh great, well

747
00:56:42,199 --> 00:56:45,599
let's do that. Then I'll just
have you back on and I'll ask those

748
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,920
questions and part two and we'll just
do it that way. Then that sounds

749
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,360
great, Vig, thank you,
well, you know you're welcome. But

750
00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:57,639
having said that, thanks against so
much for your time and have a great night.
