1
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's what I think is a Bigfoot story. The

2
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 1>writer's name is Bibo b Ee b O b Bow.

3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I've been running around the woods all my life, from

4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>creek beds to swamps to dirt roads and fields, and

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>all that time I never experienced anything strange. That is

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>until recently. Two weeks before hunting season ended this year,

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>my son in law and I wanted to shoot some hogs.

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>That morning, I put out some corn for the afternoon hunt.

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>A little before dark thirty, we headed to the box

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>stand and we jumped five deer eating out of the

11
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>corn pile. When they scattered off, we got settled in

12
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and man, were those woods alive. Everything was talking, from

13
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>crickets to frogs and raccoons and owls. We could hear

14
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the hogs coming from the left side of the swamp,

15
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>walking through the water and mud. My son in law

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>picked up his ar, looked through his thermal scope and

17
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>said there were five pigs at the pile. I told

18
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>him to hold on, let's wait for the big ones

19
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to come out. There was a loud yell coming from

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>fifty yards down the swamp from us. It happened just instantly.

21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Everything that was making noise in the woods went silent.

22
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>It all just suddenly died out, like a light switch

23
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>had been flicked off. What the hell is that, my

24
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>son in law asked, looking like he was ready to

25
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>get the hell out of there. Well, I don't know,

26
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, I never heard anything like that before. When

27
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we heard the coyotes start back up, we decided to

28
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>wait it out for a little longer, and a few

29
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 1>minutes later, all the other animals and insects in the

30
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>woods came back to life, filling the air was sound again.

31
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 1>It was the strangest sensation hearing all the noise sucked

32
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 1>out of the forest like that, only to hear it

33
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>return a little while later. It was like someone had

34
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 1>their hands on the volume knob and turned it down

35
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and then turned it back up again. Two weeks later,

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I put a pig brig trap down below where we

37
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>had been sitting that night, and I caught sixteen little

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>pigs out of it, and then rebaited it and set

39
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 1>it again. The next morning, I found two hundred and

40
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>fifty pounders. It was cold and raining that day, and

41
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to deal with them then, knowing it

42
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>was going to be a sunny day, the next day,

43
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>so I went on about my day and the next

44
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>morning set out to get the hogs. But when I

45
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>got there, the hogs were gone. I got out of

46
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>my truck and walked closer, and I saw that on

47
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>the back side of the trap two of the tea

48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>posts had been pushed almost all the way into the ground,

49
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>without the smallest sign of blood. I looked around for

50
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>signs of tracks, but I didn't find anything but pine straw.

51
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I refixed the trap and went on about my day,

52
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and the next morning, on the walk to my truck,

53
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I found five dead birds lying in a row on

54
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the ground. Even the cats wouldn't go near them, so

55
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I asked my son and daughter if they had seen them,

56
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>but they said they hadn't, and I left them there

57
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and didn't go back down to that part of the

58
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>woods for a month, except to occasionally check on the

59
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>hog trap. A week ago, when it was hot down

60
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>there in my neck of the woods, my daughter and

61
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I got on a dirt bike to look for hog signs.

62
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>There was nothing around the farm, so we headed down

63
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>to the swamp. The heat was getting to us, so

64
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>we got off the bike and took a walk down

65
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to the creek and cooled off. We didn't see much

66
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>other than deer and coon tracks along the way and

67
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>in the cold water of the creek, we didn't see

68
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>anything out of place. An alligator came back to check

69
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>us out, and we saw two watermocks and sunning on

70
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>an old log, but otherwise it was uneventful. Then we

71
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>heard a wood knock. It was loud and distinct, and

72
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>my daughter and I looked at each other. There was

73
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of natural noises that you expect to hear

74
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>in our neck of the woods, but that wasn't one

75
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>of them. We got out of there and headed back home.

76
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>A little rattle by the noise, but not enough to

77
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 1>make me lose sleep. The missing pigs and that would

78
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>not don't keep me from enjoying my land. But for

79
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 1>a man who spent his entire life outdoors, it is

80
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>unsettling to think of what could be out there that

81
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I never knew about. And then he signs offices. Keep

82
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>up the good work. You're doing a good job. I'm

83
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a believer. I appreciate that that was a good story.

84
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of anecdotal evidence, but it's good evidence,

85
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>and it makes a dang good story. Awesome. Thanks for

86
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>sending it. In September of two thousand and six, I

87
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>was living in the small town of Gardnerville in western Nevada.

88
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 1>One night, as I was driving to visit a friend

89
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in Reno, I kept seeing white streaks in the dark sky.

90
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought it must have been my imagination. After visiting

91
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>with my friend for a few hours, I drove home

92
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and I had forgotten about it. When I was almost

93
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 1>at my house, I saw the little white streaks again,

94
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and I became dizzy and disoriented. The feeling was so

95
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>intense that I couldn't see, so I pulled over until

96
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>the feeling subsided, and when I could see again clearly,

97
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I drove to my friend John's house, who lived nearby.

98
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 1>He told me that earlier in the evening he had

99
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>seen the white streaks in the sky, and when I

100
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>told him I had seen them too, he grabbed our

101
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>drinks and headed outside to see if they were still there.

102
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>The sky was empty, but we heard something strange throughout

103
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 1>the surrounding neighborhoods. Dogs were barking in a way I

104
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>have never heard before. It wasn't overly loud or obnoxious.

105
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 1>It was like they were talking to each other. One

106
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>would bark a bit, and then the other dog from

107
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple of streets over would respond, and then another,

108
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>as if they were having a conversation or they were

109
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>exchangeing information. That's when I felt the air change around us.

110
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 1>It became so still and quiet that even the dogs

111
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>stopped talking to each other. I was a little freaked out,

112
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 1>and I decided that it was a good time to go.

113
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And then a minute later I was back home and

114
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>talking to my friend who was staying with me. I

115
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 1>went over the weird events of the night, and we

116
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>ended up outside again. And when I looked up at

117
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the sky, there they were. Sarah, there are the white streaks,

118
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 1>I said. Just as the words came out of my mouth,

119
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a huge white bird flew over a light pole in

120
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot across the street, and it hovered for

121
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a moment above it. It turned its head and looked

122
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in our direction, and then it flew right at us.

123
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>In a panic, we ran too the safety of the house,

124
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 1>but just before we got inside, I turned to look

125
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 1>at the bird again and saw the massive muscles on

126
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>its wings as they moved up and down. It veered

127
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 1>over to my neighbor's house and landed on his roof,

128
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and the tips of the massive wings stretched out by

129
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>two or three feet over both sides. After a few

130
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>seconds of silence, the bird seemed to notice us again,

131
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and it jumped off the roof and swooped low over

132
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the street toward us. But we were completely frozen in

133
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>all and we couldn't run. When it was just a

134
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 1>few feet from us, it cut quickly upward into the

135
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>air to avoid running into a fence and some telephone cables.

136
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Its body swept right over us, just three feet over

137
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 1>my head, and it landed on my neighbor's rooftop behind me.

138
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Its torso was at least ten feet long, and its

139
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>breadth was two or three feet across. After it landed

140
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>on the neighbor's rooftop, I got creeped out and ran

141
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>into the house. As majestic as this thing was, the

142
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>part of me was afraid of it and that it

143
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 1>might try to pick me up in its mass of claws.

144
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>The next morning, as soon as it was daylight, I

145
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>ran over to my neighbor's house with a measuring tape.

146
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>That bird's wingspan was twenty five feet wide, and I

147
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>was grateful that my friend saw it too, Otherwise there

148
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 1>was no way anyone would believe me. And then, to

149
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 1>add to the strangeness, I learned that our neighbor whose

150
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>house the bird landed on, died the night before. Some

151
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>time later, I was watching the History Channel when one

152
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 1>of the guests mentioned something about thunderbirds. I got on

153
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 1>the Internet as fast as I could, and after looking

154
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>at numerous images of the legendary creature, I'm certain that

155
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is what I saw that night. And I'm certain those

156
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 1>were the white streaks my friend and I had seen

157
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>moving through the sky. Maybe they were the cause of

158
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>my disorientation that night and the feeling of strange in

159
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 1>the air and the unusual way the dogs were acting.

160
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Despite my neighbor's tragic death, and knowing that that thunderbird

161
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>could have easily flown off with me and its claws,

162
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I have always felt blessed to have witnessed one with

163
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>my own eyes. Oh man, that was great. We don't

164
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 1>get too many thunderbird stories I've been I've done a

165
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>half a dozen through the years, but they're always really cool.

166
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate this email. Thank you to the writer.

167
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I was looking back to see it's a woman She

168
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't say to use her name, so I won't, but

169
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>if she hears it, she'll know that she sent the

170
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>stories really good. It's really good story. Thank you. My

171
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 1>name is Angie. My husband Keith, is from South Dakota,

172
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but we met and lived in my home state of Wisconsin.

173
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>We're pretty basic normies as far as people go, and

174
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we don't lead exciting and adventurous lives, but we're both

175
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>content and pleased with the life that we share together.

176
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>One thing that we always wanted to try was stealth camping.

177
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>As it implies, it's a type of sneaky camping where

178
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 1>you'd try to be near or amongst people without them

179
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>being aware that you're there. We decided to have our

180
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 1>inaugural stealth camping adventure in Rapid City, near Keith's mother

181
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and stepdad, who we would be visiting. We planned out

182
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>all the pertinent details, and after a nice time with

183
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Keith's family, we set off to start our camping trip.

184
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 1>The place we chose to camp was on public property,

185
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 1>close to a street with houses in the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway.

186
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 1>When it was still daylight, we parked our car in

187
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a nearby lot and we donned a blade's orange vests

188
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that said tree Services across the back. We put on

189
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>matching white hard hats and walked around the area, surveying

190
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>where we thought would be a good spot where we

191
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>could blend in and not be seen, yet also not

192
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>be too deep in the wooded area. I noticed people

193
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>milling around in the distance, but no one seemed to

194
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>be paying any attention to us, which was perfect as

195
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.039
<v Speaker 1>far as we were concerned. With the daylight finally fading,

196
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we returned to our car and retrieved our camping supplies

197
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>from the trunk and went to the spot we'd picked out.

198
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 1>We didn't think we did much for a short night

199
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>in the woods, so it was just the basics. Keith

200
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 1>tied off a small olive green tart between two trees

201
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so we would not be spotted from the nearby houses.

202
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't necessary to have any such visual protection from

203
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the expressway, since we thought we were deep enough in

204
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the woods not to be seen by passing vehicles. Behind

205
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 1>the tarp, we laid out our bedroll on the ground

206
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 1>and our wool blanket on top of that. We didn't

207
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>bring any food, but we did have a large jug

208
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>of water and a couple of led flashlights. When it

209
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 1>got dark, we laid on top of the bedroll and

210
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 1>unfolded the blanket and got under it. It felt to

211
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 1>me like one of our date nights, the two of

212
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>us together, just talking and holding each other tight, breathing

213
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the cool night air, with nature all around us.

214
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember being very relaxed and comfortable with my husband

215
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>at my side, and I eventually fell asleep. I woke

216
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 1>to Keith firmly shaking me awake. When I asked him

217
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>what was going on, he said something had thrown a

218
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>handful of loose dirt at us. I felt the top

219
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 1>of the blanket and sure enough it was covered with dirt,

220
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 1>and I put my fingers in my hair and felt

221
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 1>it there too. We turned on our flashlights and looked

222
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 1>at the blanket, and we saw the dirt covering us,

223
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>And just as we were trying to figure out what

224
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the hell was happening, another shower of dirt was halted

225
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>us from out of the darkness. We were pelted once again,

226
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>with it sprang our faces, the blanket and the tart

227
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>behind us. We pointed our flashlights in the area of

228
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the dirt came from, and then we saw something that

229
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>changed both of our lives and got us on the

230
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 1>cryptid subject. It was a brown fur covered female sasquatch

231
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to hide behind a tree that was much too

232
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>small to hide her body. Keith and I were at

233
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a complete loss for words and just sat there, gobsmacked.

234
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And when the flashlight beams were on her, she led

235
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.639
<v Speaker 1>out a low woofing noise and began to sway a

236
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 1>little from one side to the other as she showed

237
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 1>us her teeth, And she screamed at us and turned

238
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>around and ran faster than any human I've ever seen,

239
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>deeper into the woods, and she disappeared from sight. Her

240
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>face was flat and white, like a mix between a

241
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 1>human and a gorilla, but without any fur on her cheeks.

242
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>She had a prominent brow ridge similar to that of

243
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the Neanderthal, and her teeth weren't as dirty as you

244
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>would expect. She had large breasts, and her arms and

245
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>hands went down below her knees. She was muscular. Keith

246
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>said she was six and a half feet tall, and

247
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't a man alive in the NFL capable of

248
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>tackling this person. After she left, it wasn't too awful

249
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>long until sunrise, and we packed up what few items

250
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.399
<v Speaker 1>we had and we got in the car and we

251
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>drove home. We were not frightened by what we saw

252
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>because we fully realized that we humans share this world

253
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>with things both explained and unexplained. Since that experience, Keith

254
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.679
<v Speaker 1>and I have stealth camped three more times and we

255
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 1>continued to do so. Thanks a bunch, Angie and Keith.

256
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh what a cool story. Just a total full sighting,

257
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 1>no violence, no anything changed their lives and they still

258
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 1>stealth camp. They're brave. They're brave, braver than I would be.

259
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>What an awesome story. Thanks for sending this, Angie, is

260
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.120
