So 225 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.600 we're excited. It's gonna be a blast. 226 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.840 Now, did you guys get any leads from last year's festival? 227 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.519 We did, We did. 228 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.759 There was a young lady that I knew her previously, 229 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.919 and I knew there was some activity around their property 230 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.200 goes back many, many decades, and that's one of the 231 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.200 stories I was want to share with you tonight. She 232 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:52.120 had called me and confided in me something that was 233 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.519 going on. And I won't give her name for her 234 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:59.399 own for own reason, but if you got a minute, 235 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.639 I'd be glad to share the story that she shared 236 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:02.000 with me. 237 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:03.279 Yeah, for sure. 238 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.480 Well, it actually started when she was a child, and 239 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.279 she lives right on the edge of the Casanchi National Forest. 240 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:21.240 Their property pretty much backs up to it, and when 241 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:25.480 she was a child, they had a cabin and her 242 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.279 dad would tell her when she wrote her bike down 243 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.600 that dirt road, don't don't right after dark because of 244 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.879 the Bookers. 245 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.879 And she never really thought much about it. 246 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:42.000 And as she got older, you know, started asking about that. 247 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.200 He explained what the Bookers were, and he had seen 248 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.679 them several times on their property and their dirt road 249 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.639 was probably about a half a mile to a mile 250 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.960 alone back into the woods. And so anyway, as time 251 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.399 went on, several people in that area had encountered and 252 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.519 it wasn't something that people call about. And I'm sure 253 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.480 you're aware of that, Matt piece. Some people just will 254 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:12.000 not talk about this subject, right And uh, anyway, I 255 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.399 had heard about stuff like that down in that area, 256 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.320 and that Doneloaded investigation never really got involved too much 257 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.840 down there is It was more hush hushed. But she 258 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.799 called me several months back, well, I say several months 259 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.559 about two months ago actually, and uh, she said, Carl, 260 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.799 I've got some I need to talk about, you know, 261 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.039 And I said, okay. She said I had an incident 262 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.279 last and I said, well, if you don't mind to 263 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.720 share that with me, and she did, and she said 264 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.480 that she got out and she started walking her dog. 265 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:49.960 It was about dust dark, and well their prophi is that, uh, 266 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.440 there's a bridge there, and that bridge is out, so 267 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.720 there their road dead ends and they're right at the 268 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.840 end by the bridge, and the cabin I spoke about 269 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.840 earlier is probably about a mile and a half to 270 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.360 the woods, which has completely growed over her dad's path 271 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:03.960 and everything. 272 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.799 So that's all what he does. And she had told 273 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.519 me that there was. 274 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:16.600 A terrible, terrible smell. Bro She said, the dog noticed 275 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.799 at first, you know how a dog will react to something. 276 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.759 They is stiffing up. 277 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.519 And she said, the dog stiffing up, and then she 278 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.720 called the smell and she looked at a tree line 279 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.440 and she could see a shadow. Really couldn't see more 280 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.879 than the shadow, but it scared her enough that she 281 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.600 got the dog on her back inside and her husband 282 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.039 wasn't home, the children weren't home, kit they were there 283 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:44.200 by themselves, and so she will, you know, went on 284 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.879 the bed. She dia had a feeling. She knew what 285 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.799 it was, but didn't think much about it, you know, 286 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:48.240 because she. 287 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.919 Grew up around that. 288 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:50.320 Yeah. 289 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:56.320 Anyway, later that afternoon or that night, and lady got dark. 290 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:57.559 I don't remember the exact time. 291 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.879 I think she said around eleven or so. She heard 292 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:06.079 something hit the side of the cargo trailer that was 293 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.960 in their front yard. You know, one of the box 294 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.000 cargo trailers slammed the hand against it or something that 295 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:16.599 made a loud noise, and it frightened her. The dogs 296 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.359 started barking. They've got several animals in the back started 297 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.559 acting up, and then she heard it come up to 298 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.119 the house and it hid on the side of the house. 299 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.559 And she was so scared. She never had any of 300 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:35.559 them violent like that that, he said. She actually got 301 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:41.559 up under the bed and called her daughter, and her 302 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.599 daughter said, Mama, you need to call the police. And 303 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.000 she said, I don't want to talk any longer. I'm 304 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.519 afraid it will hear me. She was that the dog. 305 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.480 She had the dog under the bed with her, so 306 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.960 she'd got the dog quiet. The animals outside was still 307 00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.799 making a little noise. 308 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.839 Well, our daughter. 309 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.319 Called nine one one and had the church department to 310 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.039 come out there to her property. And when they arrived, 311 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.920 you know, everything was calm. They took them probably good 312 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.640 thirty minutes to get there. She's pretty far out and uh, 313 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.559 they looked around, couldn't find nothing, nothing like that, so 314 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.000 they they left and the rest of the night. Her 315 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.240 husband showed up a little bit later and that after 316 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.039 Nina and uh that night and it was fine when 317 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.440 she called me the next day. So the following day, 318 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.680 me and a couple of guys from our group went 319 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:39.920 down there, and uh, we could see where the impressions 320 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.640 by the cargo trailer. The grass was tall. There had 321 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.079 been mode yet where something had pressed down on that. 322 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.160 And on the side of the cargo trailer there wasn't 323 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:49.599 a dent. 324 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.519 You know how. 325 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.200 A flat surface will get like a dust cover over it, 326 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:01.240 you know, just setting well, you could see like we 327 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:05.559 looked like fingernail marks like the drug his finger nails 328 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.920 down the side of the cargo trailer and left a 329 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:13.440 little white lines, you know, digging through the little and uh, 330 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.160 upside our house, the ground was pressed down there. It 331 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.160 was all grassy, sudden that it there was no tracks. 332 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:26.240 So that's that's really verified what she was saying. Something 333 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.519 wasn't outside and she thinks it it was one of 334 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.599 these creatures which. 335 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.480 They grew up calling the boogers down there. 336 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.279 And Uh, anyway, so me and the guys decided to 337 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.160 go out there at night and we went out there 338 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.960 and set up some game cams and stayed out there 339 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.160 probably till midnight. We didn't get no activity, didn't have 340 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.359 anything happened. We called it a night. I left the 341 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.160 cams out for about a week or two. Nothing popped up. 342 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:02.720 And till recently, which fast forward now like say two months, 343 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.119 she had called me and she said I had the 344 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.640 strangest thing happen to me. I said, what was it? 345 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:16.200 And she told me, she said, we went outside and 346 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.359 our ghosts and they have four goats and they have 347 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.920 some you know, some dogs. And this part was really 348 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:30.279 really strange. Are into me. But somehow the goats ended 349 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:35.119 up inside the dog pins, and the dog pins like 350 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.799 a you know, ten by twelve twelve to twelve dog cans, 351 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.200 and she said they didn't put them in there anyway. 352 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.480 She let the coats out and got to looking around 353 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.400 and back by their barn, which is probably about forty 354 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.559 or fifty yards behind their house, there were some small tracks. 355 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.279 They weren't really defined. 356 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:04.240 We we cast what we could men men Mark did 357 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:05.559 and it was. 358 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.640 You really couldn't make it out. 359 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:13.480 It sort of looked like a small print me and 360 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.000 it didn't show any claws, but we weren't really sure 361 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.480 what it was. 362 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:17.839 Jeff. 363 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.000 Jeff's got an idea. He's thinking maybe bear. But and 364 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.759 that may be the issue. But none of the animals 365 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.720 were disturb That was our big issue. They've got, like 366 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.720 I say, they've got some goats, and they've got a 367 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.480 pig and you know, just general farm animals, you know, nothing, 368 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.000 And none of them was disturbed. But there were several little, 369 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.359 small looking tracks, and some of them you can make 370 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:47.599 out the toe prints. So I'm thinking if it was 371 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.039 a big foot, maybe it was just some small ones 372 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:54.039 coming there to you know, mess with animals. I don't know, 373 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.200 But nothing else has happened since then. That's been We 374 00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.839 went down a couple of weeks ago and got those. 375 00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:03.640 Did you happen to check on top of the trailer? 376 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.279 You know? 377 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:06.839 We did not. 378 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:09.680 I never even thought about that, but that would have 379 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.160 that would have made a lot of sense, But we 380 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.240 did not. Uh, it was just a normal six foot 381 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.440 cargo trailer. But I did not get I wish I 382 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.920 had now that you mentioned that. 383 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.000 And and do you happen to know what her husband 384 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.759 does for work? 385 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:31.559 Well, he is he is actually self employed. Oh he's 386 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.799 he's not home all all the time. But he did 387 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:36.839 get in late that night. I'm not sure what he 388 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:38.759 was doing. I know he has his own little business 389 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.400 doing something other. And but she was there by herself, 390 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:44.920 and I explained to her, which I think she already knew, 391 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.119 is that, you know a lot of times these creatures 392 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.519 will come around a house when there's no one home 393 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.279 but the female. 394 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:51.680 Yeah. 395 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.720 But but she did see the shadow out by the 396 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.440 edge of whids and she had seen that before, but 397 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:00.799 as the little girl growing up and that she'd become 398 00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:05.160 a young woman. You know, she actually had a siding before, 399 00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.720 and many people in that community had. But like she 400 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:13.720 told me, everybody's hush hush. They don't want nobody, i think, 401 00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:19.359
