Speaker 2: Now, what are your reporting? I got a screen going
Speaker 2: on here. Something just kid with my dog. Something killed
Speaker 2: your dog?
Speaker 3: My dog.
Speaker 2: We're flying through there, over the tree. I don't know
Speaker 2: how it did it? Okay, Damn, I'm really confused. All
Speaker 2: I saw was my dog coming over the fence, and
Speaker 2: name was dead once you hit the ground. I didn't
Speaker 2: see any cars. All I saw was my dog coming
Speaker 2: over the fence. Sat what are you reporting? We got
Speaker 2: some wonder or something crawling around out here? Did you
Speaker 2: see what it was? It was enough out here looking.
Speaker 2: I'm new to window now and I don't need anything.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go outside. Its point New York. Hello,
Speaker 2: hit the boddy out here? What quent on out there?
Speaker 2: I've thought of a bit of about sixty nine. I
Speaker 2: don't know easy. I'm out there, Yeah, I'm walking right ahead.
Speaker 3: Greetings, thanks for joining me. What I wanted to share
Speaker 3: with you today comes from Mark. Now up here, there
Speaker 3: are certain portions of land where you can go and
Speaker 3: basically cut all the firewoods you want. There's places you
Speaker 3: do need to permit, but other places it's just go
Speaker 3: and get out the beatlekiller. Whatever Mark a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago was in one of these areas. It was
Speaker 3: his second day going back. His first day it was
Speaker 3: blowing and snowing, so it was real miserable for him
Speaker 3: cutting up his wood. The weather was supposed to clear,
Speaker 3: so he decides, you know what, I'm gonna do this tomorrow.
Speaker 3: He comes back the next morning at daylight. Basically that
Speaker 3: ranges in the wintertime. This occurred late December, a year
Speaker 3: before last. That time of year, you're not getting rise
Speaker 3: until ten granchy, you get daylight before then. Let's say
Speaker 3: it was between eight and nine. When he had it
Speaker 3: out on a snow machine. With the sled, he had
Speaker 3: a scandic white track. He no longer has that, and
Speaker 3: that'll come into play in a minute now. He had
Speaker 3: an old sled that was his grandpa's and it was
Speaker 3: a work sled. It had no side runners. It was
Speaker 3: just basically a big slab that he could strap down
Speaker 3: to basically a hauling sled. The hauling sled was twelve
Speaker 3: foot long. So with that wuid track he had no
Speaker 3: problem telling it along is non issue when it came
Speaker 3: to that now that second morning, because the first day,
Speaker 3: he had heard some weird stuff, but the wind was blowing,
Speaker 3: so it was like he had an eery feeling, but
Speaker 3: he chalked it up to I'm out here long, there's
Speaker 3: weird noises, the wind's blowing. It was an eerie day,
Speaker 3: so he chalked it up to that, no harm, no foul.
Speaker 3: The next day, he goes out. There's not a whisper
Speaker 3: of wind at all. There was light snow falling, but
Speaker 3: it wasn't not in major you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: He gets to work, he goes back into this area
Speaker 3: that's approximately thirty five forty feet away from the snow machine,
Speaker 3: just out of you. If he was to turn around,
Speaker 3: his trail kind of zigzag through the trees and stuff.
Speaker 3: But he did not have a direct line of sight
Speaker 3: to the snow machine because it was obscured by trees.
Speaker 3: He said, when he was back in there, he went
Speaker 3: right back to the spot he was the day before,
Speaker 3: circled around a couple times because there was a little
Speaker 3: extra snow the night before, and he was just packing
Speaker 3: the trail kind of deal. He's back up in there
Speaker 3: looking for the last tree he cut down. He didn't
Speaker 3: buck it up. He'd just dropped it and figured I'll
Speaker 3: get to this tomorrow. So he comes back to the
Speaker 3: identical spot. That tree isn't there now, this is a
Speaker 3: forty foot tall spruce tree. He's looking around. Maybe someone
Speaker 3: came after I left. Okay, someone else got it. Good
Speaker 3: for them or whatever. So he gets back down to business.
Speaker 3: He spots another one that he likes, and he goes
Speaker 3: and he starts cutting it down. It was approximately another
Speaker 3: twenty five or so feet away going back into this
Speaker 3: dense batch of trees. He said, once he got about
Speaker 3: half the distance going from where the tree was missing
Speaker 3: that he dropped the day before to where the new
Speaker 3: one he was going to cut down. He covered half
Speaker 3: that distance, and he said, all of a sudden, everything
Speaker 3: within him was like, I can't be here. It just
Speaker 3: came out of the blue. He doesn't know. In that moment,
Speaker 3: he had no clue what the hell. He was, just like,
Speaker 3: something's really off. He carried a forty caliber handgun and
Speaker 3: a shoulder holster, just in case he came up on
Speaker 3: a moose or something like that, because moose will stop
Speaker 3: you to death. So he unzips his coat. He had
Speaker 3: dropped the chainsaw down, unzips his coat and he draws
Speaker 3: the gun out. He doesn't know why, he said, it
Speaker 3: was just in that moment, he felt like I had
Speaker 3: to have my gun in my hand. So he's sitting
Speaker 3: there and he's trying to figure out why all of
Speaker 3: a sudden he's so spooked. He said, if the snow
Speaker 3: wasn't so deep, he would have ran off already, but
Speaker 3: he had to make a tactical retreat because the snow
Speaker 3: was up above his knees. So he's trying to assess
Speaker 3: why am I freaking out? Because he had never felt
Speaker 3: even being around bears, he never felt that. So he's
Speaker 3: trying to make sense of why he's dealing with this.
Speaker 3: So he's looking around through all the trees and stuff.
Speaker 3: He's not seeing anything. It's dead quiet, it's still snowing lightly,
Speaker 3: and so he stands there a minute and he chuckles
Speaker 3: at himself, gosh, Mark, you coward, get your firewood. This
Speaker 3: is ridiculous. Fire up the chainsaw. Whatever wild animal will
Speaker 3: run off. So he tucks the pistol back in his coat,
Speaker 3: leaves it on zip though for easier access, and goes over,
Speaker 3: fires up the chainsaw, looks around again, and as he's
Speaker 3: warming up his saw. He's just looking for any movement
Speaker 3: that the sound of the running saw may have made
Speaker 3: the game animal whatever it was, move away to where
Speaker 3: he can get eyes on whatever's going on. Nothing was
Speaker 3: going on. It was all quiet. So he drops his
Speaker 3: and he's in the middle of limbing portion of it
Speaker 3: and then bucking it up into carrying pieces which he
Speaker 3: cut him about ten foot long roughly in with that
Speaker 3: on the shoulder and pack it out right. So he's
Speaker 3: doing that portion of it, and he's got a good
Speaker 3: couple pieces ready to go, so he kills the saw.
Speaker 3: He decides he's going to have a cigarette break while
Speaker 3: he's sitting there. In essence, the whole time when he
Speaker 3: was cutting it up and bucking it up, cutting the
Speaker 3: limbs off and stuff, he was laughing at himself for
Speaker 3: being so scared for nothing because he had nothing to
Speaker 3: go on at this point. Yes, the one tree was missing,
Speaker 3: but someone could have got it easy fire with. Oh hey, look,
Speaker 3: someone already dropped it for me and got either there
Speaker 3: with it. He's just chuckling at himself for being so
Speaker 3: hyper paranoid as he's smoking a cigarette and he's feeling
Speaker 3: the teeth on his chain to make sure he didn't
Speaker 3: have to sharpen it and stuff like that, just pitdling around.
Speaker 3: He hears a weird noise coming from back over by
Speaker 3: the snow machine. It sounded like the cowling of the
Speaker 3: snow machine. The cover over the engine was flopping against it.
Speaker 3: Something was opening and closing it real fast, clump clump, clump,
Speaker 3: making this noise, and it's a distinct sound. Anyone who's
Speaker 3: had a snow machine knows that you're dropping the lid down.
Speaker 3: So is someone messing with my machine? What the hell?
Speaker 3: How dare someone come and mess with another man's machine
Speaker 3: out here in the woods, because you don't do that
Speaker 3: shit man, And then gets your ass whooped, so of
Speaker 3: course he's pissed. He leaves the saw there and stuff,
Speaker 3: and he's tramping on out. Now. He had this big,
Speaker 3: long kind of s curve trail that he had to
Speaker 3: trump through because he was kicking over the snow as
Speaker 3: he was making new tracks, just to pack the trail
Speaker 3: and pre ready it for easier packing, so he's not
Speaker 3: tripping over himself trying to get these logs out to
Speaker 3: his sled. Gets back over to the snow machine, and
Speaker 3: it looks like someone with snowshoes on had walked around
Speaker 3: the snow machine, and he noticed that these snowshoes walked
Speaker 3: straight back from the machine, straight back in the direction
Speaker 3: where he was just cutting, while his trail zigzagged back
Speaker 3: to the place. So, in that sense, while he was
Speaker 3: out focusing on the snow machine, whoever was in the
Speaker 3: snow shoes was just basically walking past him and he
Speaker 3: didn't even see it. So immediately his hair is up.
Speaker 3: He's what, the who and the hell? So he pops
Speaker 3: up the counting to make sure nothing of the motor
Speaker 3: was messed with real quick, because he starts yelling out loud, Hey,
Speaker 3: my machine, there better not be nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 3: He's just yelling out loud because whoever was on the
Speaker 3: snow shoes is somewhere in these trees right over here,
Speaker 3: and they're bound to hear him. He's cussing the fuss
Speaker 3: and telling them, hey, you messed up. Wait till I
Speaker 3: come over there. He looks, he doesn't see anything outwardly
Speaker 3: wrong with the snow machine, still cussing him. Fuss into
Speaker 3: usob you don't mess with a man's gear. He's chastising
Speaker 3: whoever this is as he's walking back this little s
Speaker 3: curve kind of trail back to where he had cut
Speaker 3: the tree. He said, when he was almost back, he
Speaker 3: was just coming around a small group of smaller trees
Speaker 3: with some poplar and alder or whatever it was. As
Speaker 3: he was coming around, remember there are snowfalling, so that
Speaker 3: a lot of the brush there's no leaves on it,
Speaker 3: but with a heavy snow, it'll all lean and it'll
Speaker 3: have the snow built up on it and stuff. So
Speaker 3: he's coming around this particular bush and where he had cut.
Speaker 3: He can partially see through this tree that's obscuring his vision.
Speaker 3: As he comes around, he says, he's looking up because
Speaker 3: the tracks look like they're coming straight back there, right,
Speaker 3: So he's looking around, saying, hey, where are you come
Speaker 3: out here? Let's talk about this. You don't be touching
Speaker 3: a man's machine. He's listening and it's dead quiet, so
Speaker 3: he's what the hell is going on here? Stop playing games.
Speaker 3: He's calling this person out. He's calling him every kind
Speaker 3: of bitch in the book, just to get a reaction
Speaker 3: from whoever it is, because at this point he doesn't
Speaker 3: know where this person is. He's really not happy now
Speaker 3: as he's cussing of us, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: he hears this grunt, this deep guttural grunt. He said.
Speaker 3: It shook his guts and it was coming from behind him.
Speaker 3: So here's the grunt. He's spoot, startled, whatever you want
Speaker 3: to call it, shit in the gold brick. As he's
Speaker 3: turning around, he's drawing that pistol out. He assumed the time,
Speaker 3: maybe it was a bear that didn't hibernate because it
Speaker 3: was too hungry, and he's in serious trouble if it is.
Speaker 3: So that's what he was initially going on as he
Speaker 3: was turning around pulling his pistol, he said, when he
Speaker 3: turned around and pointed, it took him. He doesn't know
Speaker 3: exactly how long because everything on tunnel vision real slow motion.
Speaker 3: He's trying to make out what he's looking at. He said,
Speaker 3: you could see snow on the hair. It wasn't fur,
Speaker 3: it was hair. It was about six inches long all
Speaker 3: over it, he said. The portion of the chest that
Speaker 3: he saw there was an underhair and then an overhair.
Speaker 3: It almost looked like belt on the body, but longer
Speaker 3: hair over it looked to it, but it wasn't real
Speaker 3: dense like bear fur or moose hide. Or anything like that.
Speaker 3: He said he could see the skin when it moved,
Speaker 3: and he said it was squatted down and it was
Speaker 3: just looking at him. He explained to me, the face
Speaker 3: was damn near pitch black, a lot of wrinkles, beady
Speaker 3: black guys. But big head was really big, wide set jaw,
Speaker 3: real wide mouth, nose flat to the face, pretty standard description,
Speaker 3: he said. The thing that stood out most was this thing,
Speaker 3: how it was looking at him. He said he felt
Speaker 3: like this disdain and anger towards him. He's standing there
Speaker 3: in shock. He's got a gun in his hand. At
Speaker 3: this point. Mark said he didn't even realize he was
Speaker 3: still holding the gun. He's literally pointing the gun at
Speaker 3: this thing and trying to figure out what he's looking at.
Speaker 3: He takes a step back and starts yelling get out
Speaker 3: of here, but he didn't know what else to do.
Speaker 3: He tried to treat it like he's going to run
Speaker 3: off a bear. Again, it was no bear, he said.
Speaker 3: It was obviously humanoid. It was squatted down. He couldn't
Speaker 3: see the hands at first because they were sloped into
Speaker 3: the snow. Again, this snow is deeper than his knee. Okay,
Speaker 3: so this thing was squatted down, and he said, it
Speaker 3: squatted down was still over six foot tall, like big.
Speaker 3: So he's assessing my escape plan, right, but he doesn't
Speaker 3: know shit or go blind. He's literally stuck in the
Speaker 3: trees his trail out. Whichever way he chooses, he's got
Speaker 3: to go through knee deep snow to make his retreat,
Speaker 3: and he doesn't even know what the hell this thing
Speaker 3: is at the moment. So as he took a step back,
Speaker 3: he yells at it again, saying, get out of here,
Speaker 3: get out of here. I'll shoot you. I'll shoot you,
Speaker 3: he said. At that point, he was no longer pointing
Speaker 3: the gun at it. He was holding the gun up,
Speaker 3: showing the gun. I have a gun, I'll shoot you
Speaker 3: that type of thing, he said. This thing was unfazed,
Speaker 3: he said. Once he was yelling and showing the gun
Speaker 3: like this, he said, this thing its head started doing
Speaker 3: this number. It looked like it had no neck, so
Speaker 3: when it was moving its head, its shoulders would naturally
Speaker 3: go with it. He said. It slowly was rocking back
Speaker 3: and forth, and then it stood up, and as it
Speaker 3: stood up, it really started swaying more. And that's when
Speaker 3: he could see the thing's hands. It had snow stuck
Speaker 3: to the hair on the arms and stuff because it
Speaker 3: had his hands in the snow. But he said when
Speaker 3: it got up, it did this number once or twice
Speaker 3: to shake the snow off the hands and got into
Speaker 3: a more hunch position, looking at him, almost like it
Speaker 3: was about to rush him. Once this thing stands up
Speaker 3: and is doing that, it appears to him that it's
Speaker 3: about to start charging at him. He again points a
Speaker 3: gun right at it and says, I will shoot you.
Speaker 3: It's dead quiet this thing. It didn't move. It's just
Speaker 3: standing there and it's given him this death glare. He said,
Speaker 3: it was like it was staring through him. It wasn't
Speaker 3: scared to mark one iota, not even a little bit.
Speaker 3: So as this little standoff is going on, this thing
Speaker 3: is like maybe twenty feet away, maybe something like that.
Speaker 3: And this is all guestimation from a terrified mind in
Speaker 3: the moment. It could have been a little more or
Speaker 3: a little less, but it was right there, he said.
Speaker 3: When it stood up, he had to look up at it.
Speaker 3: Because of how things were, he couldn't give me a
Speaker 3: very accurate description of its height. He said it had
Speaker 3: to have been over ten foot. So we'll just go
Speaker 3: with that, because a terrified mind sometimes things get a
Speaker 3: little distorted. So he was just being conservative on his guestimation.
Speaker 1: And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: He's pointing a gun at this thing. It's not doing anything.
Speaker 3: It's that standoff. He points the gun up and lets
Speaker 3: two rounds off.
Speaker 2: Bam.
Speaker 3: He said. As soon as he let the two rounds off,
Speaker 3: this thing pivoted facing towards his left and literally ran
Speaker 3: so fast, almost disappeared in an instant because of how
Speaker 3: quickly it took off. He said. He followed it with
Speaker 3: his eyes for a moment, and then it dropped down
Speaker 3: to all fours and then really started moving. He said
Speaker 3: it bumped into a couple of trees on its way through,
Speaker 3: just going by them or whatever, and he said it
Speaker 3: sounded like he was just breaking and ripping the branches
Speaker 3: off as he went through, because when he initially hit
Speaker 3: the trees when he was making his way out of there,
Speaker 3: there was no tree snapping. A moment or two later,
Speaker 3: he started hearing cracking of branches and limbs and stuff.
Speaker 3: So he's standing there in shock. He's trying to assess
Speaker 3: what the hell did? I just see what the hell
Speaker 3: is going on here? And he starts looking around in
Speaker 3: case there is more right, because he didn't know what
Speaker 3: the hell was going on. Mark said that he left
Speaker 3: his chance off right there and backed out his trail
Speaker 3: that he had gone down just a couple of times,
Speaker 3: backed out, looking in the direction. This thing was still
Speaker 3: making noise somewhere off in the distance, but it was
Speaker 3: constantly moving, so it was no way to pinpoint exactly
Speaker 3: where it was at any particular time, he said, when
Speaker 3: he got back to the snow machine. When he got
Speaker 3: back to it, the tunnel had been shifted, like the
Speaker 3: rear of the seat we called the tunnel where the
Speaker 3: track runs underneath. The tunnel had been twisted in such
Speaker 3: a way that it was basically almost separating from the
Speaker 3: front portionroom that holds the engine. And you got to understand,
Speaker 3: there's a clutch wheel in there, a centripical clutch that
Speaker 3: once you reach a certain rpm, the clutch tightens down
Speaker 3: on the belt stinds the track. It had been twisted
Speaker 3: in such a way, but that snow machine was no
Speaker 3: longer functioning. The engine ran, but it would not drive.
Speaker 3: So he's sitting there at the snow machine like he
Speaker 3: doesn't know what he's gonna do now. This thing is
Speaker 3: still over there, maybe hundred feet away, maybe a little more. Again,
Speaker 3: he was in fits of terror, so it was dicey.
Speaker 3: He's a few miles from where he parked his truck
Speaker 3: and trailer, just under five miles. He immediately starts down
Speaker 3: his path. He had no cell service and no one
Speaker 3: would even start looking for him for many hours from now.
Speaker 3: He already knew this, so he started trekking, and he
Speaker 3: chained smoked a whole pack of cigarettes within the first mile,
Speaker 3: trying to calm down. He was shaking. He couldn't stop
Speaker 3: looking around. Every few steps he would stop. He said
Speaker 3: he was smoking like half of the cigarette, throwing it
Speaker 3: out at of nervous ticks that were kicking up hard.
Speaker 3: He got about two miles into his almost five mile
Speaker 3: journey to get back to his truck when he started
Speaker 3: hearing something following him. He said, I could not run.
Speaker 3: The trail was packed, but the times he tried running,
Speaker 3: he started breaking through and sinking down. So he didn't
Speaker 3: want to injure himself, so he was just gingerly walking
Speaker 3: along because he didn't want to break through and then
Speaker 3: have an injured knee or something, and then take even
Speaker 3: longer to get out of He was trying to be
Speaker 3: as tactful and safe in his retreat as possible, he said. However,
Speaker 3: when he started hearing this thing off to his right,
Speaker 3: moving paralleling him, he kept hearing a weird swishing sound,
Speaker 3: like a tree. So he kept looking around to see
Speaker 3: if there was a tree wiggling, because that was the
Speaker 3: sound of was making, like tree branches rustling against each other.
Speaker 3: And he kept looking, and he had his gun in
Speaker 3: his hand and stuff, and he couldn't see anything. So
Speaker 3: he just kept going. He would look around and keep going,
Speaker 3: and this noise was a constant for about a mile,
Speaker 3: he said. He was yelling out. He was saying, I'll
Speaker 3: shoot you for real this time, all sorts of stuff. Right, So,
Speaker 3: as he's going along, he said, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: he hears a weird noise like a big stick flipping
Speaker 3: through tree branches. He could hear something, but like something
Speaker 3: hitting branches wailing through there, right, he said, from his right,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, about twenty five thirty feet in
Speaker 3: front of him, that tree that he had cut the
Speaker 3: day before came flying out like a spear. He said.
Speaker 3: It just bum and stuck just on the opposite side
Speaker 3: of his little trail. And at this point he's in
Speaker 3: a pretty narrow cutway through from a trail, a snow
Speaker 3: machine trail, right, so he said, it was probably about
Speaker 3: fifteen feet wide of clearing it going through there, just
Speaker 3: seeing dug into the snow and then sat there and
Speaker 3: then claps down because quite enough snow to keep it upright,
Speaker 3: but it had impacted in the snow, and then slowly
Speaker 3: sunk down in essence blocking his trail momentarily anyway, because
Speaker 3: believe me, you turn into Carl Lewis and hurdles and
Speaker 3: would be nothing at that point with your gentleman dumb.
Speaker 3: So he's looking in the direction it came and he
Speaker 3: hears that grumble again. He feel it in his guts,
Speaker 3: he said, and he started yelling, hey, I'm leaving, stop
Speaker 3: following me. It's the only thing he could think to say,
Speaker 3: and trying to reason with this thing. And he doesn't
Speaker 3: even know what it is, right, he said. When he
Speaker 3: got up to where the tree was and stepped on
Speaker 3: it and stepped over it, he heard thrashing and crashing
Speaker 3: going away from him. Back in the direction where he
Speaker 3: had left his chainsaw on a snumb machine. He said,
Speaker 3: as soon as he cleared that it was gone, it
Speaker 3: was moving, so of course, it startled the shit out
Speaker 3: of him to hear that much commotion. He said, he
Speaker 3: could feel some of the movements in the ground, and
Speaker 3: it was so unnerving. He said. The first couple thumps
Speaker 3: on the ground was triggering his reflex on the bottom
Speaker 3: of his foot, making him jump a little bit. He
Speaker 3: was just soone shock over that he stood there for
Speaker 3: a moment. He's pointing the gun in that direction, even
Speaker 3: though he can't see shit, but this thing is just
Speaker 3: going so once it's almost out of earshot and obviously
Speaker 3: not near him, he started. He broke down a little bit.
Speaker 3: He sat there, He fell down to his knees and
Speaker 3: was sobbing for a little bit, just stressed out, he said.
Speaker 3: Once he collected himself, he lit himself the last cigarette
Speaker 3: he had in that pack, because he was chained smoking
Speaker 3: like a bandit. He said that he was crying so
Speaker 3: hard that every time he was touching the cigarette to
Speaker 3: his lips, it was soaking up more tears to where
Speaker 3: it was almost like sucking water through the filter. To
Speaker 3: get a drag of the cigarette. Eventually it sooggied up
Speaker 3: the butt end of the cigarette just because he said,
Speaker 3: the tears were pouring. He couldn't stop it. He was
Speaker 3: shaking really hard. He dropped the gun several times because
Speaker 3: he was shaking. His hands were shaking so hard. He
Speaker 3: said he felt like he didn't have control over that reaction,
Speaker 3: that visceral reaction to this thing. He said, after a
Speaker 3: moment and he was able to calm down, he made
Speaker 3: sure he had his gun turned around and started walking
Speaker 3: out that trail, and he said he got maybe one
Speaker 3: hundred yards or so into the continuation of the walk,
Speaker 3: and at this point he's head on a swivel. He's
Speaker 3: barely making forward progression because he's constantly looking around. He's listening,
Speaker 3: he's looking. He's freaked out for obvious reasons. Right, So,
Speaker 3: he said, about one hundred yards going back into his
Speaker 3: walk out of there, he hears this grumble again, but
Speaker 3: at a long distance away. He said it was with
Speaker 3: such volume. It started off low and at classic it
Speaker 3: went up like an air raid siren, up into a
Speaker 3: super high pitched squeal, and then when dead quiet. He
Speaker 3: said that he continued his journey. Of course, he's picked
Speaker 3: up the pace getting hell out of there. He made
Speaker 3: it to his truck safely and stuff. Ended up going
Speaker 3: to a friend's house. His friend was at work and
Speaker 3: wasn't home yet, but he said he sat in his
Speaker 3: friend's driveway scared shitless, had his pistol on his lap
Speaker 3: his friend. Where his friend was at was other houses
Speaker 3: real nearby, but he was so spooked, so freaked out
Speaker 3: that any movement he was like twitching, like he had
Speaker 3: shell shocked. Basically, every movement, every sound he was just
Speaker 3: freaking out from. He said he wasn't sure how long
Speaker 3: he sat there in his friend's driveway before his friend
Speaker 3: showed up. His friend showed up with one of his
Speaker 3: co workers, and they came up. They're like, oh, hey,
Speaker 3: did your snow machine break? Because his sledge usually on
Speaker 3: his trailer, but when his friend came up to the vehicle,
Speaker 3: it startled him. He ended up pointing the gun in
Speaker 3: his face because he was so lost in these thoughts
Speaker 3: of what the hell is happening that he initially didn't
Speaker 3: see his friend coming up. Even though he was highly
Speaker 3: spoop in that moment, he did not notice his friend
Speaker 3: coming up until his friend was right there, and he
Speaker 3: basically pulled a gun on his friend. And when he
Speaker 3: immediately recognized that he dropped the gun, he was like,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. His friend's like, whoa, what the hell? Mark,
Speaker 3: what's going on with you? Dude? He gets out of
Speaker 3: the truck and he's like, give me a cigarette. Please
Speaker 3: give me a cigarette, And so his friend gave him
Speaker 3: a cigarette and he starts smoking it tells his friend
Speaker 3: what's going on. His friend started asking, oh, were you
Speaker 3: at XYZ place? And he goes, yeah, that place we
Speaker 3: went to a few times, because his buddy had went
Speaker 3: with him a couple of times to this particular area.
Speaker 3: His buddy was like, Hey, I've seen that thing back there, man,
Speaker 3: I believe you. And his co worker from work was like,
Speaker 3: what are you guys really talking about here? You're talking
Speaker 3: about bigfoot. He wasn't mocking, he was just trying to
Speaker 3: understand what he was hearing. They both did.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now by this point it's twilight, considering what's going on,
Speaker 3: it's not the time to go back out there, is
Speaker 3: what Mark was saying. Because his friend wanted to use
Speaker 3: his trailer since it was right there, load up his
Speaker 3: machines and go out there and retrieve his stuff and
Speaker 3: check out the scene. And Marcus freaked out. He doesn't
Speaker 3: want to it's getting dark. He wanted no part of it,
Speaker 3: but he agreed because his friend had to work the
Speaker 3: next day and he didn't want to wait until nighttime.
Speaker 3: The follower, he figured, Okay, there's more people, let's just
Speaker 3: go get it right. So reluctantly he agrees, just because
Speaker 3: he knows it's best to let's just do it. So
Speaker 3: his buddy goes in, gets a high powered rifle, gets
Speaker 3: a firearm for his coworker. They got the snow machines.
Speaker 3: They got two snow machines loaded, and they went back
Speaker 3: out there. As they were going down the trail, Mark
Speaker 3: was riding with his friend because his friend had a
Speaker 3: two up sled. He was telling him, we're coming up
Speaker 3: on the place where it threw the tree across the trail,
Speaker 3: so be aware when you come around this corner on
Speaker 3: that straight away, you'll see the tree block in the way.
Speaker 3: When they get around that corner, they're not seeing anything.
Speaker 3: They get up to the area with the disturbed snow,
Speaker 3: where obviously there's broken little pieces of branch and bark
Speaker 3: and stuff all over the trail, but the tree is gone,
Speaker 3: and his buddy believed them, but seeing that physical evidence
Speaker 3: of the tree and everything lining up to what Mark
Speaker 3: was telling him, he started getting really spooked himself. His
Speaker 3: bravado was leaving them real quickly, and let's get on
Speaker 3: with it. Let's get over this. And so they make
Speaker 3: it about another mile further down the trail and off
Speaker 3: to the left, just inside the trees was that one
Speaker 3: tree that was across the trailers, leaned up against some
Speaker 3: other trees, and they looked over at it and just
Speaker 3: continued on. It's okay, that's where it was moved to
Speaker 3: or whatever. Now he said when he got to his
Speaker 3: loop that he made a couple of loops around to
Speaker 3: pack the trail. His snow machine was not sitting where
Speaker 3: it was before, so his friend looped around, came back
Speaker 3: facing heading out direction, and killed the sled, and their
Speaker 3: flashing flashlights trying to figure out where a snow machine was.
Speaker 3: They're looking around and they notice disturbed snow from where
Speaker 3: the sled was going back into the woods where he
Speaker 3: was cutting trees. And now the woods are fairly dense.
Speaker 3: None of them wanted any part of going into those
Speaker 3: woods in the dark, right, So they're sitting there talking about, shit,
Speaker 3: are your chainsaws back there? Maybe, because at this point
Speaker 3: they're starting to doubt where'd the sled go. It had
Speaker 3: a twelve foot utilitarian sled attached to it, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. It is not lightweight. So they're looking
Speaker 3: at the disturbed marks and they're trying to make out
Speaker 3: is that the direction of the snow machine. So they
Speaker 3: start looking around elsewhere. They noticed that sled that he
Speaker 3: was towing behind. That utility sled was across this meadow
Speaker 3: behind them, on the opposite side of this metal from
Speaker 3: where he was cutting up in the trees sideways, and
Speaker 3: at first they couldn't really make it out until he
Speaker 3: saw he had a couple of little orange reflectors on
Speaker 3: along the sides of it, along the rim of it, right,
Speaker 3: just so when he was out on trail, someone could
Speaker 3: see that he had a sled attached. So they noticed that,
Speaker 3: and that's what caught his attention. The one guy on
Speaker 3: the machine ripped over there to take a look. The
Speaker 3: tongue was all bent up. It was basically taken and twisted,
Speaker 3: but it was basically no good. So the guy just
Speaker 3: took a quick observance of it and came back over
Speaker 3: on the snow machine. Was like, that thing's cooked at
Speaker 3: this point, marks, I don't need a chainsaw that bad.
Speaker 3: We don't need it that bad. Let's just get out
Speaker 3: of here. Once he told his friend, let's get the
Speaker 3: hell out of here, he fired a pistol machine as well,
Speaker 3: because the other guy had his still running. He wasn't
Speaker 3: killing shit. He was like, hey, let's just cut it.
Speaker 3: Let's just get out of here. So they vacate the
Speaker 3: area right. A few days later, he had a different
Speaker 3: buddy that had some experiences and what not go with
Speaker 3: him to see what's salvageable during the day. So him
Speaker 3: and his buddy they get back out there and where
Speaker 3: he had last seen that sled. It was driven into
Speaker 3: the snow, approximately where it had been parked before, and
Speaker 3: the snow machine was just off of the edge of
Speaker 3: the trail where if it had been there that night
Speaker 3: they would have seen it. It was right there, but
Speaker 3: it was twisted even more than what it was. He said.
Speaker 3: It looked like something took the front of it in
Speaker 3: the back of it and had a twist the opposite
Speaker 3: directions kind of thing. It was even more twisted when
Speaker 3: he last left it. So he's looking at this stuff
Speaker 3: and he's like, shit, they cut the belt so hopefully
Speaker 3: maybe the track will spin a little bit so they
Speaker 3: could tow it out of there. They were having no
Speaker 3: luck with their so essentially what ended up happening is
Speaker 3: his friend brought a sled and he had a lonor
Speaker 3: snow machine. So there are two sleds trying to extract
Speaker 3: all this stuff. So what they ended up doing is
Speaker 3: basically wrenching the track off of it, placing it on
Speaker 3: this sled in two different pieces from strapping it down.
Speaker 3: He said it was a struggle getting it out of
Speaker 3: there because it was unbalanced on his buddy's sled. It
Speaker 3: wasn't a very big sled, but they wanted to get
Speaker 3: the debris out of there. They didn't want to plute
Speaker 3: the place or whatever. He said. There was no gas
Speaker 3: in it that he could tell, because it must have
Speaker 3: sat upside down or something like that for a while
Speaker 3: because the tank was dry. They're limping it on out
Speaker 3: of there. Before they take off, him and his buddy
Speaker 3: walked back in the trail. Some more snow had fallen,
Speaker 3: since you could still see his tracks, but they weren't
Speaker 3: divid and so they walked back in there, perfect daylight
Speaker 3: and everything. There were some songbirds there, a lot more relaxed.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: He said that this thing had taken the chainsaw and
Speaker 3: basically did the same thing as with the snow machine.
Speaker 3: It is like the thing grabbed one end and the
Speaker 3: other end and just twisted it right. It was junk.
Speaker 3: The thing was broken up. There was no salvaging this thing.
Speaker 3: They get back up and they get out of there.
Speaker 3: It took a while getting out of there because of
Speaker 3: this unbalanced load. It kept flopping over and stuff, and
Speaker 3: they'd have to fix it and get out of there.
Speaker 3: He asked me not to share this particular location on camera.
Speaker 3: He wants to inform the person that owns land very
Speaker 3: near there, and the guy won't be back till later
Speaker 3: on this spring. Eventually, I'll update this once one of
Speaker 3: the local landowners has the heads up of what was
Speaker 3: going on or whatever. But out of courtesy, I'm going
Speaker 3: to leave that portion out for now and I'll re
Speaker 3: update it in the near future. I want to thank
Speaker 3: for sharing. It was very hard for him from man
Speaker 3: to man, it's hard to admit to another guy, a
Speaker 3: guy's guy, that you broke down crying. It's not an
Speaker 3: easy thing. But for him to freely admit that you know,
Speaker 3: here all these people, I want an encounter. I understand why,
Speaker 3: because of the curiosity. I get it, but you gotta
Speaker 3: be careful what you wish for. Up until that point,
Speaker 3: Mark had heard stories, but it wasn't in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 3: He just chalked him up as stories, which a lot
Speaker 3: of people do until they have an encounter. I'm thankful
Speaker 3: for him sharing. It wasn't easy for him to come forward.
Speaker 3: He had attempted to send me an email a few times,
Speaker 3: he said, and then finally said, all right, I'm going
Speaker 3: to send it. I appreciate him trusting me to share
Speaker 3: with me and to share with you guys. I want
Speaker 3: to share it that you comes from Ramona and Paul.
Speaker 3: Now Ramona and Paul lifelong Alaskans. They met in an
Speaker 3: AFN conference many years ago. AFN, for those who don't know,
Speaker 3: it was the last Confederation the Natives. Paul happened to
Speaker 3: be doing some Native art stuff he was selling for
Speaker 3: his cousin at a table, and she happened to by
Speaker 3: some merings or something. So they hit it off, and
Speaker 3: this is thirty years ago. They had a love for
Speaker 3: everything outdoors, Paul and Ramona. After they were married, they
Speaker 3: ended up getting a plane together and getting their pilot's licenses.
Speaker 3: One of their favorite things to do was to just
Speaker 3: puddle jump here and there in there a little I
Speaker 3: believe it's a Sessna. They would just go from here
Speaker 3: to there. They're based out of Anchorage. They would fly
Speaker 3: over towards a Elecning gig Bristol Bay. They did the
Speaker 3: whole Togiak Platinum Tour or the flying round out that way.
Speaker 3: They had always been aware of the Harryman. Some of
Speaker 3: Paul's uncles had some experiences, and so they decided, about
Speaker 3: ten years in their marriage or whatnot, hey let's go
Speaker 3: check out see what we could find. So they spent
Speaker 3: the next ten years going all over the place, found
Speaker 3: a track things like this, but never really came across
Speaker 3: anything right because needle and haystack. Because this type of
Speaker 3: stuff is so random in nature, they had basically given up.
Speaker 3: We've flown everywhere. We know they're out there, but where
Speaker 3: that type of thing. They'd basically given up about ten
Speaker 3: years ago. Now, they were just flying back towards Bristol
Speaker 3: Bay area. They went to Dillingham got fuel. They flew
Speaker 3: out to Electing Gek because it was so beautiful. They
Speaker 3: had been there a few times before, and they decided
Speaker 3: we'll just go from here up to Tickchick Lake and
Speaker 3: to see if they have an opening, maybe stat the
Speaker 3: lodge up there tick Chick Narrows. As soon as they
Speaker 3: were flying, they were going from Electing Gik and just
Speaker 3: flying due north. And so they were going due north
Speaker 3: and they were approximately between third and Fourth Lake, and
Speaker 3: they noticed some fairly large ponds off to their right
Speaker 3: hand side, and so Paul was like, hey, let's see
Speaker 3: if we can land and check it out. This was
Speaker 3: going into the fall, and they're thinking, maybe we find
Speaker 3: a spot, pick some berries and just have a lunch
Speaker 3: with berries, moneyuk or whatever. So they go over they
Speaker 3: find a pond just barely big enough to land on.
Speaker 3: He felt he may have made a mistake being a
Speaker 3: little over zealous when he landed, because he was like,
Speaker 3: you don't know if the wind's going to be right
Speaker 3: when we take off. He didn't want to get stranded
Speaker 3: there and have to wait for the wind to change,
Speaker 3: because God only know, you can't predict that shit. So
Speaker 3: they just they're sitting in the plane. They pulled up
Speaker 3: the shore or whatever. He had tied off to some
Speaker 3: brush and he had tried to pound in a steak,
Speaker 3: but there was a lot of marsh that he wasn't anticipating,
Speaker 3: and so they're in a stuck situation until the wind changes.
Speaker 3: So they decide the marsh the bog. You got to
Speaker 3: imagine like a bunch of real thick peat moss on
Speaker 3: top of water, and it's like a big old spongy waterbed.
Speaker 3: But some places are thinner than others. Right with the tundra,
Speaker 3: it ebbs up and down. He got these little rises,
Speaker 3: big rises, small. It's just pop marked right. So there,
Speaker 3: let's explore. We have to wait for the weather anyway,
Speaker 3: let's make for the best of it. And they always
Speaker 3: flew ready to camp at them almost notice they find
Speaker 3: a pretty place. I can't say as I blame them.
Speaker 3: They're prepared. Paul grabs his three point thirty eight, his rifle.
Speaker 3: Ramona has a forty four magnum. They get on their
Speaker 3: hip boots and stuff, and they're just looking around and
Speaker 3: they get away from the water's edge and into the
Speaker 3: more firm tundra. They're starting to see blackberries and stuff,
Speaker 3: and they weren't quite right, just enjoying just adventure. Harryman
Speaker 3: wasn't on their mind, none of that stuff. They had
Speaker 3: since given up their trek for searching for Harryman. It
Speaker 3: was about two hundred yards from this little pond to
Speaker 3: the edge of the tree line. When they get to
Speaker 3: this tree line, Paul had noticed that there was a
Speaker 3: clearing just beyond this tree line, a nice little meadow.
Speaker 3: He assumed, maybe there's salmon berries. There's some other berries ready,
Speaker 3: so let's tredg through here and we'll check the berry patch.
Speaker 3: So they go trapsing through. They didn't bring any marker tape.
Speaker 3: So what Paul was doing is they were walking through,
Speaker 3: is he would grab a tree and break the branch,
Speaker 3: or if there wasn't a tree branch low enough, he
Speaker 3: would find something and score the side of the tree right,
Speaker 3: blazing a trail. He does this so on their back
Speaker 3: track they can come right back to where they were
Speaker 3: without a whole lot of searching around or whatever, which
Speaker 3: they were pretty safe with what they were doing. So
Speaker 3: they get back into this opening Paul's in the lead
Speaker 3: and Ramona's behind him. All of a sudden, Paul stops,
Speaker 3: gets down on one knee, and he's got the rifle pointed.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Paul uses open sites on US three thirty eight. That's
Speaker 3: what he preferred. He has it for short range. He
Speaker 3: doesn't want to try to be filling with the scope
Speaker 3: if a bear's charging fair enough. So he's down on
Speaker 3: one knee. Romona can't really see, so she steps off
Speaker 3: to his behind his right shoulder and is looking over
Speaker 3: his shoulder in the direction he is, and she sees
Speaker 3: what he saw, and that's at the opposite side of
Speaker 3: this meadow, right inside the tree line or just outside
Speaker 3: of it. They couldn't really tell at first because it
Speaker 3: was just dark. It was just a dark kind of
Speaker 3: shape over there that wasn't really a silhouette of a
Speaker 3: figure or not, and it was just a dark shape,
Speaker 3: like a big dark mound. Paul said, hit his heart
Speaker 3: skipped to beat because he thought bear, Oh crap, we
Speaker 3: just walked up on a bear and it looks like
Speaker 3: it's sleeping because it's not moving, and they have no
Speaker 3: visual of the head to look at the ears, muzzle
Speaker 3: or anything that truly identified as a bear. It's just
Speaker 3: the assumption because of its coloring. It was a grizzled
Speaker 3: dark color, and he assumed brown bear. I mean, they're
Speaker 3: in the wood tick chicks, so obviously it's bear country,
Speaker 3: big bear country. Watching to make sure they don't want
Speaker 3: to disturb this thing. But the wind is blowing not
Speaker 3: in their favor, so their scent is blowing right towards
Speaker 3: this bear. And so Paul at first was like, all crap,
Speaker 3: and then he figured out, no, it'll wind us and
Speaker 3: it'll get out of it. No harm, no foul. Let's
Speaker 3: let this bear wind us. He notices movement of this
Speaker 3: mount and Ramona's right over his shoulder. They're both just
Speaker 3: patiently watching, just seeing what this bear was going to do.
Speaker 3: Paul said he stood up, was just holding a rifle,
Speaker 3: waving his arms, and he said it was about sixty
Speaker 3: five yards maybe across this meadow, to the distance of
Speaker 3: where this thing was. It starts screaming, hey bear bear,
Speaker 3: waving his rifle. All of a sudden, this thing stands
Speaker 3: up right. It's coloring and the backdrop behind it it
Speaker 3: blended in so they couldn't see exactly what it was.
Speaker 3: So they assumed it was the biggest bear they've seen
Speaker 3: in a long time, standing up across this meadow, and
Speaker 3: Paul starts screaming out, hey bear bear. He didn't want
Speaker 3: to have to shoot this bear. The bear isn't acting aggressive.
Speaker 3: He tells Ramona get your gun out just in case
Speaker 3: God forbid, and she already had it out as soon
Speaker 3: as this thing set up. Now, they couldn't make out
Speaker 3: its shape because of the backdrop. It was black spruce
Speaker 3: and stuff. They couldn't make out its exact silhouette. So
Speaker 3: he continues, hey bear bear, and then at one moment
Speaker 3: it comes down onto all fours and they still can't
Speaker 3: make it out. It's just something weird about the shape.
Speaker 3: So he shoulders the rifle because obviously now it's facing
Speaker 3: their direction. Paul said he didn't know what to do
Speaker 3: because he wanted to back out of there. He said
Speaker 3: there was something in the area that the energy wasn't right,
Speaker 3: and he felt now is the time to let's get
Speaker 3: out of here. So he's whispering and Ramona, Hey, start
Speaker 3: backing up. You follow our back trail. I'm going to
Speaker 3: walk slowly behind you, just keeping an eye on this
Speaker 3: thing until we're clear. We'll continue on and just leave
Speaker 3: this thing because again, weird shape, dark in color. Assumed
Speaker 3: it was a bear, They had no confirmation of exactly
Speaker 3: what it was at this point. Now Ramona turns around
Speaker 3: doing what her husband asks. She's game to get the
Speaker 3: hell out of there, because she felt the energy as well.
Speaker 3: From her point of view when she turned around to
Speaker 3: start going back down the trail, she was just walking
Speaker 3: along in the trail, whispering this way because Paul's walking
Speaker 3: backwards and he's keeping an eye and kind of glancing
Speaker 3: over his shoulder. Everyone keeping an eye, and this thing
Speaker 3: hasn't moved, Paul said. Once they got about fifteen feet
Speaker 3: back into the woods to where it was starting to
Speaker 3: obscure because of the brush, because their trail wasn't a
Speaker 3: straight shot. It was weaving in and out of this brush.
Speaker 3: Once he got to where there was no visual of
Speaker 3: this thing anymore except just a smidge, he felt a
Speaker 3: little more comfortable. There was enough distance he could turn
Speaker 3: his back and focus on beaten tracks now the woods.
Speaker 3: The depth of the woods between the open tundra where
Speaker 3: they landed in the pond and this meadow was roughly
Speaker 3: forty five fifty yards roughly. This is all guestimation. He
Speaker 3: wasn't like he had a tape measure out and was
Speaker 3: scoping it or whatever, he said. They got about half
Speaker 3: that distance, about twenty five yards on their back trail.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, they hear thrashing at the trees
Speaker 3: behind them. Paul said he never jumped and turned around
Speaker 3: so quick in his life. He's back down on one
Speaker 3: knee waiting for this charging bear. He sees big brown,
Speaker 3: grizzled kind of color in between the trees, but his
Speaker 3: vision is obscured. He can't make out exactly what it is,
Speaker 3: so he pops around off to try to dissuade this charge.
Speaker 3: It works. This thing breaks off to his left, and
Speaker 3: he still can't see it. He has no confirmation or
Speaker 3: visual except he knows that it's big, and it's making
Speaker 3: noise right over there, and it's moving away. Cool, all right,
Speaker 3: the bear knows what's what. Now, let's continue on. They
Speaker 3: double timed it once the shot rang and this thing
Speaker 3: veered off to their left, and now it would be
Speaker 3: back behind them on their right. They cleared the tree
Speaker 3: line and they get out into the tundra. At least
Speaker 3: a good seventy five yards and then they stopped to
Speaker 3: catch that breath. Because you got to understand, if you've
Speaker 3: never walked on tundra, the force you normally put in
Speaker 3: on hard land, you immediately fill that force. When you're
Speaker 3: walking on tundra, some of it's absorbed, so you're expending
Speaker 3: extra energy to make the same motions. So they're catching
Speaker 3: their breath, They're looking on their back trail. Paul's keeping
Speaker 3: an eye out. Ramona's freaked out. She had a very
Speaker 3: bad feeling, she said. Once he shot it veered off,
Speaker 3: she just got this real clinching fear. She called it.
Speaker 3: The essence of fear was in the air. So they
Speaker 3: sit there and they're waiting because they hear noises, but
Speaker 3: they can't pinpoint exactly where what is right. The wind
Speaker 3: had shifted, but it was variable, right, They still couldn't
Speaker 3: necessarily take off. They still had the distance to get
Speaker 3: to the plane. But also now he's worried about their
Speaker 3: back trail in this bear. So at one point the
Speaker 3: wind shifts and blows into their face and they get
Speaker 3: this weird, kind of funky smell. They said it smelled
Speaker 3: like real bad bo with urine. And once they caught
Speaker 3: that smell that wasn't a bear smell, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. So they were like, they looked at each
Speaker 3: other and then they were like, what if that's a
Speaker 3: hairy man? And that's when they both got even more
Speaker 3: freaked out. God bless them. Man, they sat there sharing stories.
Speaker 3: They're watching the whole time, this tree line, but they're
Speaker 3: sharing stories. Oh remember my uncle's story when it was
Speaker 3: up on the cabin. So they're getting themselves pumped up
Speaker 3: and freaked out. They don't know what possessed them to
Speaker 3: share hairy man stories in the midst of an encounter,
Speaker 3: even though they haven't had a visual. They're getting really
Speaker 3: worked up. So Paul was like, well, let's get to
Speaker 3: the plane. Let's stop. Let's get to the plane. Because
Speaker 3: they said they sat there roughly an hour discussing this,
Speaker 3: looking around nothing absolutely nothing, heard nothing, got that whif
Speaker 3: of smell, saw nothing right, So like, all right, screw this.
Speaker 3: So they start trucking to the plane. It was about
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty yards roughly to where the plane
Speaker 3: was at the edge of the muskeg in the water.
Speaker 3: Paul said, once they got within fifty yards of the plane,
Speaker 3: he got this overwhelming sense of being watched. Ramona said
Speaker 3: the same thing. They both felt it at the same
Speaker 3: time because they were almost shoulder to shoulder. Ramona was
Speaker 3: like a half a pace behind Paul and back behind
Speaker 3: his left shoulder. As they're coming up on the plane,
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it just instinctively they both
Speaker 3: turned at the same time, and they see this thing
Speaker 3: just outside the tree line, about maybe ten fifteen yards
Speaker 3: and it stands up to full height and with the
Speaker 3: willows and stuff with still green leaves and stuff on it.
Speaker 3: They immediately saw this humanoid outline and instantly it confirmed
Speaker 3: it was the harry Man. Paul said his initial reflex
Speaker 3: was to put it down. He said something minim was
Speaker 3: just like I should kill this thing. He turns and
Speaker 3: as soon as he lines up with it and shoulders
Speaker 3: the rifle, immediately he gets this feeling like, no, I
Speaker 3: can't do that. We're not in danger. I don't even
Speaker 3: know what this is. So he that initial thought of
Speaker 3: I'm gonna kill it immediately fades away. And so they
Speaker 3: stand there. Since they're close to the plane, they're feeling
Speaker 3: a little more comfortable checking it out, seeing what the
Speaker 3: hell is doing. As they're squatted down next to each
Speaker 3: other whispering because it's looking back at them. They're looking
Speaker 3: at him, whispering to each other, what do you think
Speaker 3: it wants? So they're just going over speculation, right, Paul said,
Speaker 3: in the midst of this, all of a sudden, it
Speaker 3: lets out this baanshie like scream, this horrific high pitched
Speaker 3: kind of He said, it reminded him of a real
Speaker 3: sick yol because it was like multiple octaves, souper loud
Speaker 3: and real screechy, but it was this varying kind of
Speaker 3: yodel sound. Right, they were both scared of their core.
Speaker 1: And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. After these messages, Ramona said that
Speaker 3: she started to pointing her pistol at her and Paul's
Speaker 3: put it down. Put it down. It's standing there. It's
Speaker 3: just making noise. Calm down. Everything Ramona said in her
Speaker 3: was like, go get out of here, Get out of here.
Speaker 3: So she, you know, is telling Paul, honey, we need
Speaker 3: to get in the plane and get the hell out
Speaker 3: of here. So they slowly, because the thing is still
Speaker 3: it stopped making the noise, but it's still standing back
Speaker 3: behind them and so they make it back over the plane,
Speaker 3: and Paul's still watching it. It has not moved. It's just
Speaker 3: kind of every once in a while, lean's a little bit,
Speaker 3: he said, and was like, eyeball, I'm trying to figure
Speaker 3: him out. A real curious kind of vibe in the air.
Speaker 3: He said. They got into the plane. The wind was
Speaker 3: good as far as trying to take off, so he
Speaker 3: got Ramona and he pushed off, fired up. They taxied
Speaker 3: down and turned into the wind to take off, and
Speaker 3: he said he was setting his flaps. He was looking
Speaker 3: off to his left now because they're taking off due
Speaker 3: south and this thing is squatted down and it's still
Speaker 3: doing this number, and the plane's running and stuff, so
Speaker 3: it's just observing them. Right. So they take off. He
Speaker 3: gains altitude and then banks off to the right and
Speaker 3: circles around and comes back right towards this thing. He's
Speaker 3: trying to keep an eye on it. At elevation. He
Speaker 3: said he was at about a thousand feet as he's
Speaker 3: coming in, and he's trying to look down to see
Speaker 3: if they could make it run. They wanted to see
Speaker 3: it run for whatever reason. They were safe in a plane,
Speaker 3: so let's see if we can see this thing moving.
Speaker 3: Sure enough, it took off running, but it was running
Speaker 3: right along the tree line, and he was making sure
Speaker 3: there's no obstacles as he's turning, focusing on watching this thing.
Speaker 3: And he's slowly making a bank, turning back north, and
Speaker 3: they're watching this thing. And they passed over it and
Speaker 3: came back over on top, and we're just off to
Speaker 3: the side of it, looking down off to the right.
Speaker 3: And he said they were moving that damn mirror one
Speaker 3: hundred and something notts or something like that, roughly, because
Speaker 3: once they turned, they had the tailwind and they were
Speaker 3: looking along and they were passing it. He said he
Speaker 3: couldn't for sure say oh it was running this fast
Speaker 3: or that fast, but what he was saying was is
Speaker 3: it was moving to the point where it was almost
Speaker 3: it seemed like almost like it was keeping up with them.
Speaker 3: Once they got past it, he circled back once or
Speaker 3: twice seen if they could find it again, but it
Speaker 3: was gone. They continued on. No one was available at
Speaker 3: the lodge, they couldn't stay there or whatever, so they
Speaker 3: take off. They fly back over towards Dillingham. They got
Speaker 3: some fuel, they had enough daylight to fly back through.
Speaker 3: So what they decided to do is go up to
Speaker 3: Iliamna Port Allsworth, and so that's what they do. They
Speaker 3: leave Dillingham to go up to Allsworth. That's the extent
Speaker 3: of their adventure. As far as that episode, I asked,
Speaker 3: you guys are out there, how often have you come
Speaker 3: across something like that? And they said one time it
Speaker 3: was memorable. We will never search for it. Paul felt
Speaker 3: like they were being runoff, not necessarily gonna be attacked,
Speaker 3: which is fair enough, but let's be honest. A trail
Speaker 3: in the trees. You're caught. It's done.
Speaker 2: Daughter.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna thank them for sharing. They've been following various
Speaker 3: channels and whatnot, and then they finally came across this
Speaker 3: channel a couple months ago after watching some of the
Speaker 3: videos that they've reached out and I appreciate them sharing
Speaker 3: and being patient, coordinate and being able to talk about
Speaker 3: their experience. Thank you guys for joining me. We will
Speaker 3: catch you on the next one.
Speaker 4: They say, you don't gotta go home, but you can't
Speaker 4: stay out there, said step steps steps.
Speaker 5: Stop chart this child, that child, everything came right back,
Speaker 5: right back.
