1 00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Hey, guys, thanks for joining me on this podcast. The 2 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,120 first thirty or forty five minutes of this podcast, I'm 3 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,600 going to be sharing with you the first five chapters 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,320 of a book called Paranormal Bedtime Stories. It's book number 5 00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,280 one in a series of five by a man named 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,039 Todd Chapman. I'm not sure I fully understand exactly what 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,640 he did. He's a paranormal investigator slash story collector. He 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,799 was also a guide for a paranormal outfit out west 9 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,439 in the Desert. These stories are centered around a Skinwalker 10 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,560 Ranch type area where he has experienced all the same 11 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,399 kind of thing things that you would experience, or that 12 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:06,159 you've probably read or heard people have experienced at the 13 00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,040 skin Walker Ranch. It is absolutely fascinating. Here's the thing. 14 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,799 I want to recommend that you go look his book up. 15 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:20,280 Just do a search for Todd Chapman Paranormal Bedtime Stories. 16 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,120 He's got five of these books out. Now. Here's the thing. 17 00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:28,359 They're short, little chapters. They take ten minutes to read. 18 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040 He named the book perfectly because I like to lay 19 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:35,920 down at night. The minute I lay down, I can 20 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319 never go to sleep. But if I crack a book, 21 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:41,879 I'll be asleep in ten minutes. That is just enough 22 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,280 time to read like one story a night, so I 23 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,719 thought it was cool that he named it that. But anyway, 24 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,319 Todd is an extremely interesting guy. I read some of 25 00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:55,719 these stories on the Dixie Cryptid podcast, not the ones 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,599 you're about to hear. He's just prolific at remembering down 27 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,959 and recording stories that he has heard, and he has 28 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,959 hundreds of them, and this is the first five. I'm 29 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,800 gonna record his whole book. It will eventually be out 30 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,719 on audio book on audible Isome. I don't know where 31 00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,400 he's gonna put it, but he's letting me put this 32 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,439 stuff on the podcast before he releases it in audio book. 33 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:26,199 And as you hear these stories, you may hear some 34 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:31,560 little chirps in the background. I recorded these this week, 35 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:35,719 and my wife has got little chicks, about thirty of 36 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,719 them brooding in my office here and they're constantly chirping. 37 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,240 I don't know if you're going to hear them or not. 38 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,439 I'm about half death. But I let somebody else hear 39 00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,759 one of these stories and he's like, well, the story 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,639 sounds good, but what the hell is that noise in 41 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,800 the background? And I knew it was. He said, it 42 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,520 sounded like chirping. I said, it's it's little chicks my 43 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,919 wife is raising. Don't let it take away from the story. 44 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,000 And I think it's only one or two of them, 45 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,439 but I think you'll enjoy these. And then at the end, 46 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,240 I've got a really awesome bigfoot story that I think 47 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,960 you're gonna love. Down in Mississippi. All right, here we go, 48 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:25,159 Chapter one. His name is Todd. Ghosts show themselves from 49 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,639 the first night they lived in the house. Bumps or thuds, 50 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,439 the sound of feet running in the attic, and beings 51 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:35,400 walking past windows, and the sounds of doors shutting all 52 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:39,960 begin at eleven pm every night. After a long tour. 53 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960 I'd often get back to their house well after midnight, 54 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,639 even as late as three AM. I would drop off 55 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,960 their truck and then drive my car home, which was 56 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,840 a good thirty five minute drive. Already tired, it was 57 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,120 common for me to spend the night on their couch 58 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,840 rather than driving all the way home. My boss's daughter 59 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,879 always had friends staying over, even on week nights. They 60 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,400 were always up at night playing and talking in her bedroom. 61 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,520 One night, while sleeping on the couch, I woke to 62 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,159 find three of them curled up together on the floor 63 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,319 next to the couch. They hadn't slept yet, and the 64 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,680 sun was on the rise. I asked, hey, what's going on? 65 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160 How come you're not in your room? And one of 66 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,639 them said, well, we can't sleep in here. But what 67 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,800 do you mean, Well, we hear noises and we see 68 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:32,560 things outside the window. Their daughter said, well, what sort 69 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,519 of noises? Like people running on the roof. She replied 70 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,279 it always happens at eleven o'clock. Okay, I said, as 71 00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,319 I rolled back over and went to sleep. Over the 72 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,839 next several weeks, the same thing played out again and again. 73 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,199 Finally her mother changed bedrooms with her, but that didn't help. 74 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,879 Then their daughter's birthday arrived and they took her to 75 00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:59,000 Las Vegas. They asked me to house sit and keep 76 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,519 an eye on the dog. It was business as usual 77 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,279 at the shop, and i'd crash at their place afterward. 78 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,360 The dog and I got along great, and when it 79 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:12,560 was time for bed, she slept close by. On the 80 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,079 first night, I heard them become active. The house was 81 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,720 previously quiet and then sounded as if a family returned 82 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:24,279 home from vacation or something. Doors were slamming, kids were 83 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160 running around, et cetera. And when I turned to see 84 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,720 what time it was, the clock said eleven pm, just 85 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,000 like clockwork. I thought to myself, she was right. There 86 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,839 was a lot of noise, and it sounded like a 87 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,079 bunch of people up on the roof or in the attic. 88 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,160 While I lay there awake, I listened to them and 89 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,800 mentally followed their activities around the house, and I made 90 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:50,639 notes of where I heard them. The following night, I 91 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,319 went to bed before eleven o'clock so I could send 92 00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,759 them a bit of an invitation. As I lay under 93 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,839 the blanket, I sent them a fault that if they 94 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,920 were they were okay with it, I would like to 95 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,959 see them. My name is Todd, and I'm watching the 96 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,160 house and the dog, I said to them, and my thoughts, 97 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,439 if you would rather not show yourselves to me now, 98 00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:15,959 maybe you could appear to me during my dreams, I added. 99 00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,160 Sometime in the early hours, I heard someone near me 100 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,519 whisper his name is Todd. With this, I woke to 101 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,360 see two women in period dresses, maybe from the eighteen hundreds, 102 00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:34,519 standing four feet from me. One of them was facing me, 103 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,360 while the other, who I believe was the one talking, 104 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,399 was slightly turned to the side with her back to me, 105 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120 as if looking at the other woman while she talked. 106 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,319 The more I tried to focus on them, the more 107 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,439 I woke, and the less I saw them, And within 108 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,600 about five seconds I no longer saw them. After this encounter, 109 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,800 I never again heard them in the attic, and that 110 00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:05,000 was the only time I'd seen them. Chapter two, Stalked 111 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,439 by a Sasquatch a boy Scout survival story. Have you 112 00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:15,480 ever shopped at Arii Sportsman's Warehouse, Bass Pro Shops, Cabella's, 113 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,319 or a similar outdoor store. Well, if so, take a 114 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,240 moment to consider what it might look like to work 115 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000 at one of these stores and some of the strange 116 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,000 stories you might hear from customers. In a way, it 117 00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:31,839 is actually a great place to engage people about their 118 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,519 experiences and if they ever encountered something strange or unusual 119 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,959 while biking, boating, camping, hiking, or hunting. This story is 120 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,600 about a twenty eight year old man that walked into 121 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:48,680 a bass Pro Shop store in central Florida. He was 122 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,120 looking for a new compound bow for the upcoming elk season. 123 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,240 While chatting with the store's employee about hunting locations, big 124 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,519 game and such. The customer opened up and shared a 125 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:04,120 traumatic story that he'd never shared with anyone during the 126 00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:08,079 twelve years since it happened. He only did so after 127 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,319 the employee admitted he believed in Bigfoot and actually saw 128 00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:15,839 one out west where he used to hunt. In fact, 129 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,439 they'd both been to and hunted the same area. The 130 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,519 man's story took place twelve years earlier, when he was 131 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,600 just sixteen years old and while hiking with a friend 132 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,560 at the Filmont Boy Scout Ranch in New Mexico. A 133 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:34,080 Filmont currently covers one hundred and forty thousand acres of 134 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,000 wilderness near the southern end of the Rocky Mountains, and 135 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,080 he began his story during our two days of hiking. 136 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,519 We both put over one hundred miles on our boots. 137 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,519 We enjoyed the rugged terrain, the lashmadows, the thick forest, 138 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,240 and the trout filled streams and the hidden natural treasures. 139 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,960 In fact, we were having a great time until we 140 00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,279 realized we were lost. Imagine being sixteen years old and 141 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:04,240 lost within an area that large. It was crazy. The 142 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,279 ranch land covers over two hundred square miles and is 143 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,679 full of all sorts of wild animals, namely black bear, 144 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,039 to add to the respective to their situation. In nineteen 145 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,080 eighty six, Felmont had five separate bear attacks on campers 146 00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,759 during a two week period, and the year two thousand 147 00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:27,000 and four more campers reported being attacked, and most recently 148 00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,759 in two thousand in tent, a fourteen year old boy 149 00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:33,159 was sleeping inside his tent when a bear climbed onto 150 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,399 the tent and bit him. There was even a version 151 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,039 of this report that claimed the boy was dragged out 152 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,200 of the tent by his butt. He'd gone to sleep 153 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,480 with a candy bar in his back pocket and that 154 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,679 attracted the hungry bear. The man continued his story, saying, 155 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,480 during our second night being lost, we had just finished 156 00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:57,039 making camp and had started a small fire. Was getting 157 00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,320 pretty cold at night, so we both wanted to warm 158 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,120 up a bit at the fire before collecting more wood 159 00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,159 to get us through the night. That decision might have 160 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,960 actually saved our lives. While sitting next to the fire 161 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,639 and contemplating our situation, we both realized we were not alone. There, 162 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,559 standing quietly next to a tree at the edge of 163 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,759 our campsite was a massive hairy creature. Where it came 164 00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,320 from and how long it had been watching us we 165 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,159 did not know. We didn't hear or see it walk up, 166 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720 and as we both sat frozen in fear. I remember 167 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,080 being unable to rationalize a way out of our situation, 168 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,039 and even thought that we were going to die, and 169 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:43,080 nobody knew where we were. Besides, if we could somehow escape, 170 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,559 we did not know which way to run and for 171 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,320 how long we were lost. This thing was just massive, 172 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,799 and we were sitting on the ground at a distance 173 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,639 too close for comfort. In a manner of speaking, we 174 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,480 were sitting ducks. The storemployee jumped in with a question, Well, 175 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,240 what did you mean that the decision to warm by 176 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,120 the fire may have saved your lives? Can you imagine 177 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,399 what might have happened if my friend and I left 178 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:14,480 our camp in different directions and went into the darkness 179 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:18,799 looking for firewood. What if the creature or creatures were 180 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,799 out there waiting for us. Oh, I see what you mean, 181 00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:24,879 said the employee. Yeah, that could have been really bad. 182 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,159 The man continued, I'm not sure how long we sat 183 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,120 there looking at it without making a sound or making 184 00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:36,440 a move. Likewise, it remained there motionless, but we could 185 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,960 hear it breathe. It must have huge lungs with the 186 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:43,240 sound it made breathing. I still can't get over how 187 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:47,559 massive it was. I keep using the word massive, as 188 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600 that's all I can think of to describe it. And 189 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:53,600 then the employee asked, so, what happened? How did you 190 00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:57,120 get away from it? Well, after a while, it's simply 191 00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:00,279 turned around and walked deeper into the forest. The re 192 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,960 us slept a wink. The whole experience from our trip 193 00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,200 and everything we thoroughly enjoyed up to that point has 194 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:10,960 been for the most part forgotten or may be replaced 195 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000 as a better word. The confusion and the fear, compounded 196 00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:18,000 with being lost so far from home, made us want 197 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:21,039 to repress what happened. In fact, my friend and I 198 00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:24,360 never talked about what happened or told anyone until now 199 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,960 talking with you here, man, that's really a crazy story. 200 00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:32,600 You obviously found your way back to civilization. How did 201 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,919 you get back? Well, at first light, we broke cap 202 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,159 and we headed for the nearest high point. When we 203 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,399 started climbing, we found some landmarks which were on our map, 204 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,679 and that led us back to the main buildings and 205 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:48,759 parking area. Well, we were thrilled, but also mentally and 206 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:53,200 emotionally exhausted. Neither of us has returned to Filmont or 207 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,679 New Mexico. So where you headed with this new boat? 208 00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:01,000 Asked the store employee. I'm going on a solo hunt 209 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:03,600 with a guy in Idaho. I hear they have nice selt. 210 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,759 Is your friend going with you? Then? Now he doesn't hunt, 211 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,960 Actually he doesn't get out that much anymore. He's got 212 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,440 a family and a demanding job to keep him busy. Well, 213 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,279 thanks for sharing your story, and I'm glad you guys 214 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080 made it out safely. I don't know what I would 215 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,320 have done in the same situation. Good luck with your 216 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:27,919 hunt too. Now, this was an amazing story, But what 217 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,879 you don't know is that the store employee has also 218 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,720 been to Filmont Boy Scout Ranch. What are the odds 219 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:39,080 of that? Having a fellow hunter to confide in is great, 220 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,360 but it's even easier when they've seen one of these 221 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,639 creatures as well, and have even been to the area 222 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,240 where you saw it. Over the years, I've met for 223 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:53,200 service rangers, rock climbers, and a handful of others who 224 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,320 once worked at Pilmont. I bet there are many more 225 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Filmont stories out there. Chapter three, The Boys Scientist Human 226 00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:11,039 looking aliens. We were in the process of moving into 227 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,960 a new store location, and while taking down and dismantling 228 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,440 the sign out front, a stranger approached me. He wanted 229 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,759 to share a few stories with me, so I stopped 230 00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:25,399 what I was doing and I listened. This story begins 231 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,360 when I was four or five years old. I remember 232 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,919 my parents taking me to a location with small hills 233 00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:36,759 surrounding the area. We went there often. One day, while 234 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,720 en route to the location, I could see up ahead 235 00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,919 a metallic discs shaped craft sitting on the ground, and 236 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,519 people appeared to be working on it. I remember thinking 237 00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:50,799 that it was being built by these people. Once we 238 00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:53,320 parked and got out, the workers asked me to come 239 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,759 over and inspect the craft. Also recall walking around it 240 00:14:57,879 --> 00:15:00,840 and somehow knowing where to place my hand to open 241 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,240 a door into the craft, and when the door did open, 242 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:07,600 I was just about to go inside when someone stopped 243 00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,759 me to ask my advice on some other matter. That's 244 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:14,879 really all I can remember. I don't remember if I 245 00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:19,759 eventually went inside the craft. Over the years, as an adult, 246 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:22,840 I've been plagued with those memories, and I even set 247 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,600 out multiple times to find that place, but I never succeeded. 248 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,879 I remember the tiny location with the hills well, but 249 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,960 I cannot remember anything beyond the surrounding hills or how 250 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,840 we got there. He told me he's also asked his 251 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,399 parents repeatedly about it and where they lived when he 252 00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:45,559 was four or five years old, but they've continued to 253 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:50,720 withhold that information. And then he went on, either they've 254 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:53,039 been told to keep it a secret, or they really 255 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,720 don't know what I'm talking about. It's really rather strange. 256 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,759 His next story developed while he was on vacation. He 257 00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:04,879 was out near two popular hiking canyons when he saw 258 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:09,519 some strange lights in the sky. From his experience, he 259 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,039 told me he felt they were not conventional aircraft, so 260 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,720 we wanted to start up a conversation with some people 261 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,000 who were parked nearby. Something was strange about them, but 262 00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:22,519 I couldn't be sure what it was. And when I 263 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:24,960 turned around to look at them again, they were gone, 264 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,759 and so was their vehicle. He told me. He recalled 265 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:31,759 going home later that evening and asking for a sign 266 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,039 that those were in fact the UFOs he'd seen over 267 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,919 the canyons, and then he clarified, my request was specific 268 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,919 to the day time and location where I wanted to 269 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,840 receive the confirmation, and when the time neared, I drove 270 00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:50,039 up to the lookout near the airport. There were other 271 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,720 people there, so I wasn't alone. Two of the people 272 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,879 standing near me seemed a little odd too, so I 273 00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:59,120 turned to the man and asked what had drawn them 274 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,120 to the lookout that day. The stranger told me that 275 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:05,519 they heard what was going on and it was going 276 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,559 to be a large sighting in the sky at sunset. 277 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,119 Because of the odd coincidence of what the stranger had 278 00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:16,960 said where he pointed, he turned and walked away. He 279 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,839 pointed to the same location I saw the light, and 280 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,960 that freaked me out. As I walked away, I thought 281 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,519 to myself, that's enough of a sign for me, and 282 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,359 then I heard a woman who was with him say, well, 283 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,119 I guess there won't be a sighting after all. The 284 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,559 next story was his final experience that he shared with me. 285 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:41,920 After possibly feeling separation, anxiety, or to assure himself that 286 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000 he wasn't crazy and that his memories of seeing a 287 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:49,319 craft and interacting with other beings were real, he again 288 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,039 asked for contact and selected the time and location. This time, 289 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,000 I arrived at my preferred location a bit early, and 290 00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:01,799 I parked the car and I waited. As the minutes passed, 291 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,759 I grew restless, and then right at the prescribed time, 292 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:10,000 an old, beat up truck pulled up beside my car. 293 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:13,359 It was driven by a woman. I couldn't believe it. 294 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,839 There were so many other places to park, why a 295 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,480 shift park right next to me. I looked back at 296 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,440 my watch, and it was past a requested meeting time, 297 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,680 and I became frustrated, and I huffed as I reached 298 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,279 for the keys and started my car. As I backed 299 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,839 up and shifted into drive, I looked back at the 300 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,680 mother and child one last time. It was at that 301 00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,759 moment a newborn set up and waved goodbye to me. 302 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:43,720 It wasn't until miles down the road and about halfway 303 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,359 home that I realized what had happened. I replayed in 304 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,279 my mind all the details from that brief period in 305 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,640 the park and left me no choice but to conclude 306 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,400 that they were there to meet me, and I blew it. 307 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,160 They were setting up some sort of picnic, and it 308 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,200 wasn't warm out, and what mother would bring a newborn 309 00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:06,759 child out into the cold elements for a picnic. The 310 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,839 child was not dressed warmly either, And what newborn baby 311 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,720 can sit up on its own, lift its arm and 312 00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:18,160 then wave goodbye to me looking right at me. He 313 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:26,559 asked me this while shaking his head. Chapter four, attacked 314 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:33,440 by an unseen creature, researcher clawed and suffocated. Be careful 315 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,720 what you wish for, because you just might get it. 316 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,000 If the two men in this story didn't believe it before, 317 00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:43,319 they soon would. One afternoon around thirteen years ago, I 318 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,920 was informed that a couple of guys were driving up 319 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,279 to meet with me later that evening. They wanted me 320 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:51,720 to take them out to a local hotspot with the 321 00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:56,640 intent of video recording their experiences. When they arrived, I 322 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,960 was surprised at what I saw. The camera was huge, 323 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,680 like one of those TV news cameras. However, this one 324 00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:08,359 was equipped with night vision and an infrared flashlight. They 325 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,519 told me they ran a popular paranormal investigation website and 326 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:15,400 hoped to come home with some great stories in video 327 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,240 footage for their subscribers. After showing me all their equipment 328 00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:23,599 and explaining what it was used for, we climbed into 329 00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:27,240 my vehicle and began recording. On the way to the 330 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:30,400 highest elevation point of the evening, I learned the cameraman 331 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,279 was terribly afraid of heights. I can't even stand on 332 00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:37,039 a chair to change the light bulb without getting sick, 333 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,960 he said. His friend laughed, yeah, he has to ask 334 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,119 his wife to do it for him. After the laughter subsided, 335 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,119 I asked, so are you going to edit that part out? 336 00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:52,920 And they both laughed, all joking aside. It's getting dark fast, 337 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,279 so let's pull over here and get the equipment ready, 338 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,279 I suggested. Surprised at what I was hearing, I asked 339 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:03,119 the camera guy what was wrong? The infred isn't working. 340 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,480 I don't understand it. The battery is brand new and 341 00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:09,400 it worked just fine when I tested it before we left. 342 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,799 This meant they couldn't use the camera after dark. A 343 00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:17,920 bit of a misnomer. Night vision still requires light to work. 344 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,079 Light be it moonlight, flashlight, car headlights, street lights, or 345 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,920 in this case, their infrared flashlight gets amplified over thirty 346 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,559 thousand times by using a phosphorus tube. The phosphorus makes 347 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,119 night vision appear green. Stranger things have happened, I said, 348 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,920 I wouldn't worry about it. It'll probably start working once 349 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480 you get back to your hotel. While he was putting 350 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,640 the camera away, I pulled out our night vision goggles 351 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,279 to see what was happening above us. This was just 352 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,680 in time for them to witness three objects. Two of 353 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,680 them appeared to be satellites traveling north together with some 354 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,519 distance between them. As they neared the point of being 355 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,400 directly above us, a third object heading east raced by 356 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,839 them at a very fast grate and intersected their path 357 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,640 directly overhead. Oh that was pretty cool, they said, it's 358 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,680 a good sign. Okay, let's get going. We still have 359 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,759 a long drive ahead of us. I told them we parked, 360 00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,759 and they checked the infraread again. Now it's still not working. 361 00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,359 I took a minute to point things out and briefly 362 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,839 explain what I had planned. As they had more of 363 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,880 an agenda, I asked if there was anything in particular 364 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,680 they were interested in doing. The camera guy asked, well, 365 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,359 where's the buildings? Is there a way we can see 366 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,079 them from here? I pointed toward the east and said 367 00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:49,680 we can look around for a few good viewing spots 368 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,400 after I get the flashlights out. While standing at the 369 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,480 tailgate and pulling out the gear we'd need, I heard 370 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:01,039 them commenting about something. They were no longer standing behind me. 371 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,039 They found an opening in the fence leading into the pasture. Well, 372 00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:07,799 I stopped what I was doing and I went out 373 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:12,079 to meet them. What's wrong, I asked, do you feel that? 374 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,640 The cameraman asked, what do you mean, what's weird? I 375 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,880 feel something's about to happen. Something is close to us. 376 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,920 I can feel it. All of us looked around, but 377 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,400 we couldn't see anything. Oh my god, he said, my 378 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,960 heart's racing and I can't breathe. Let's get back to 379 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,079 the truck, I said, while pulling his arm. Once at 380 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,880 the tailgate, he was struggling for air and said, his 381 00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:43,039 chest hurt. Man, my skin is on fire, he said, 382 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,359 while fumbling to pull his shirt up. I grabbed a 383 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,960 flashlight and shined it on his stomach. Oh shit, his 384 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,359 friend yelled out. There were fresh claw marks going from 385 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,240 his stomach to the right side of his body. He 386 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,400 was still having a difficult time breathing and couldn't see 387 00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,920 very well. So I grabbed my camera and took a 388 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,400 photo to show him. Look, I said, while holding up 389 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,920 the camera, what the hell. I gave him some water 390 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,480 to pour on the wound and Shortly thereafter, he started 391 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,200 breathing normally. Again, let me see your shirt, I said, 392 00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:22,319 and when he pulled it down there were no cuts 393 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,319 or tears in the fabric. Did you see or hear 394 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,559 anything out there? I said, no, something or someone just 395 00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,599 attacked you good without lifting your shirt. What do you 396 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,720 want to call it a night or go back? No, 397 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,119 he said, I'm breathing better now, so let's stay a 398 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,880 bit longer. His friend asked, are you sure I'm okay 399 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,440 with going home? No? No, no, let's stay a little 400 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,599 while longer. I'm fine with that, if you guys are, 401 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:55,440 I said, Taking a few minutes to regain his composure, 402 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,079 I asked him if they were interested in a short 403 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,000 hike up the hill so they could get a better 404 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,279 look at the buildings. They wanted to do the hike, 405 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:06,799 but the friend was wearing flip flop sandals, so we 406 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,200 had to go slow and easy. Cactus is everywhere there, 407 00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:14,559 and walking the desert hills at night is not easy. 408 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,759 No more than a minute or two into our hike, 409 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,799 the cameraman, who was right behind me, said he couldn't 410 00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:24,839 go on. I'm going back to the vehicle. What's wrong, 411 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,400 I asked, while still marching up the trail. Man, I 412 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,319 can't breathe? What I thought to myself, This was so odd. 413 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,240 I had literally just inhaled a deep breath of cool 414 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:40,039 night air and thought to myself how wonderful it was. 415 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,799 And when I turned around to talk to him, I 416 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,720 saw that his friend had also turned back and was 417 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:49,440 already heading to the bottom of the hill. Hey, what's wrong, guys, 418 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,119 I shouted. I can't breathe either, said the other man. 419 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:57,359 I followed them back to the truck. Man, what's going on, 420 00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:02,720 I said both men they felt heavy pressure on their chest, 421 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,759 which effectively created a feeling of being suffocated. As it 422 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:11,680 turns out, around ten years earlier, a few other people 423 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,720 experienced this same feeling just a few miles away while 424 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:19,279 hiking in a canyon. For them, it only happened in 425 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:22,359 a small area of the canyon and could be repeated 426 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,160 if they tried to continue up the trail. In another instance, 427 00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,160 a couple of hikers were able to sense the presence 428 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:34,480 of two large beings. These beings were invisible to the 429 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:39,279 human eye, but somehow they could intuitively since where they 430 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:44,079 were and even their physical dimensions. As they approached the 431 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,400 invisible beings. The beings appeared to back up to keep 432 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,079 a safe distance. They must have suspected the men could 433 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,480 see them, because they reportedly moved in a zig zag 434 00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:59,359 pattern while backing away. With each change of direction, the 435 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,920 two men were able to follow them, and finally, once 436 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,119 the perceived creatures were backed up against the cliff wall, 437 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,160 the two men began to feel pressure on their chests, 438 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,240 and they experienced the same feeling of suffocation. If they 439 00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:16,839 backed away from the beings, they said, the pressure was 440 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,759 released and they could breathe freely. They said they tested 441 00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:25,039 this by moving closer and closer and then backing away repeatedly. 442 00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:28,480 The men later gave a friend of theirs a map 443 00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:32,720 and directions to the location of the cliff wall. When 444 00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:35,559 she arrived at the spot, she said she also felt 445 00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,720 the pressure on her chest, but she didn't sense a 446 00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:43,000 presence when entering the area like they had. She only 447 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,599 felt the reaction to being too close to them. Now, 448 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,400 one of the men was a friend of mine, so 449 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,680 I asked him if, to his knowledge, this suffocating experience 450 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,759 was ever reported outside that canyon. He said it wasn't, 451 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,519 and he wasn't aware of any other locations. I then 452 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,160 told him it just happened to two guys who were 453 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,720 with me. Getting back to my two guests. Now, they 454 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:10,680 had enough and wanted to call it a night, and 455 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,720 I asked them to come by the shop the next 456 00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,799 morning and i'd have a copy of a video for them. 457 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960 Earlier in the night, they asked for some footage so 458 00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:23,200 they could use on their website. Unfortunately, the video I 459 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,799 gave them was only footage they took home with them. 460 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,359 The next morning, I saw them pull up and went 461 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,920 outside to greet them. How are you guys feeling, I said, 462 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:37,400 They were laughing. We can breathe better now here. Well, 463 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,480 how's that scratch? I asked. You won't believe it, he said, 464 00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:46,039 while lifting up his shirt is completely gone. WHOA, that 465 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,799 was fast. Tell them what else happened, his friend said, 466 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,599 I interrupted, Let's first go inside and sit down, and 467 00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,839 then you can tell me. The camera guy went on 468 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,200 to say, after we got back to the hotel, I 469 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,200 developed a sudden urge to climb up on the balcony 470 00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:07,559 railing and jump. Well, obviously you didn't jump, because you're 471 00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:11,480 here with me now, I joked. The urge was stronger 472 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:14,960 than anything I've ever experienced. He said, but I was 473 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,039 able to resist it. His friend added, man, I had 474 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:21,680 in a similar experience while we were out with you 475 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,759 last night. What do you mean, Well, it was pretty 476 00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:29,240 compelling urge, like someone or something was calling from me 477 00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:32,400 from that house. It was in my head and it 478 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,319 was asking me to come inside. Well, dang, why didn't 479 00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:39,680 you say something last night? We already had the wind 480 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,000 knocked out of us and we got clawed, so we 481 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,359 just wanted to go home. They said, yeah, I get it, 482 00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:48,640 and then the camera guy got up and walked over 483 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,960 to me. Look at this. He showed me his watch. 484 00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:56,039 I discovered around three hours of missing time this morning. 485 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:00,039 His friend chimed in, Yeah, it's weird because the the 486 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:04,240 watch is actually adjusted behind by three hours. It's like 487 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:08,039 he went someplace that there's three hours behind, and maybe 488 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,920 while they're reset the watch to the current time. I 489 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,799 thought about that for a minute, right, People with missing 490 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,599 time don't normally report the time being adjusted like that. 491 00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:23,279 They have the feeling or knowing that something happened, like 492 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:25,680 they went to the store around noon and got home 493 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,319 when it was dark outside. Clarke says the same, And 494 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,880 that's not all, said the cameraman. You were right. As 495 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,359 soon as we entered the hotel room and unpacked the 496 00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:39,640 camera gear, the battery for the infrared light worked to 497 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,000 just fine. We all laughed and we shook hands. Thanks 498 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:46,440 for coming up, guys. It's a great meeting you, and 499 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,319 I hope you can salvage something to share with your subscribers. 500 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,319 I learned later that when they got back home they 501 00:30:53,359 --> 00:30:56,720 found their website offline. They told me that it had 502 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,440 crashed the night they were out with me. Us was 503 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,599 the end of their experience, but not the end of 504 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,319 the story. Allow me to ask a question, do you 505 00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:12,480 believe these men were victims in any way? If you do, 506 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,599 remember that they said they had operated a paranormal investigation service, 507 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:20,720 and even said they hoped for some interesting stuff to 508 00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:23,440 happen to them so they could share it with their followers. 509 00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:27,359 And actually that's the entire reason they took time away 510 00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,839 from their work and families to drive up and go 511 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,960 out with me that night. They wanted my help in 512 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:39,000 making that happen, so they were actually successful. They returned 513 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,079 home with a lot to tell people about. Their cameras 514 00:31:42,079 --> 00:31:46,240 stopped working for no reason. Their website had crashed. One 515 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,519 guy was clawed and suffocated by some unseen force, and 516 00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,519 he was coaxed to jump from the balcony railing, and 517 00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:56,680 then he had a missing time event. Who knows what 518 00:31:56,839 --> 00:32:01,160 happened there. His friend also suffered fromification and was being 519 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,559 spoken to in his mind to trespass and go inside 520 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,279 a deserted building in the middle of the night. Now, 521 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,160 allow me to ask another question. Could there have been 522 00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:15,880 another reason for being coaxed up onto the railing other 523 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,440 than to jump? That is, Remember, he was terribly afraid 524 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,720 of heights and couldn't even get up on a chair 525 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:26,000 without getting sick. So what if it was really an 526 00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:28,759 effort to get him up on the railing but not 527 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,079 to jump. What if he had been healed of his 528 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,240 fear and getting him up on the railing was actually 529 00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:37,440 so that he could see that he was no longer 530 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,440 afraid of heights. Could that be possible? The reason I 531 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:45,640 bring this up is that people have been healed while there. 532 00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,440 It's happened so often I honestly keep the idea in 533 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,480 the back of my mind. When crazy things occur and 534 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,359 for no apparent logical reason. What follows or some examples. 535 00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:04,480 Number one, I have seen implants, Yes, implants ejected or 536 00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:08,599 removed from two different people. The first was a twenty 537 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,920 somethter year old father, and the other was a teenage 538 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,400 boy while sitting beside his parents. The second, a middle 539 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,119 aged man, was in a great deal of pain following 540 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,720 an injury to his right shoulder while lifting heavy furniture. 541 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,200 The pain grew and grew for a couple of weeks 542 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,720 and finally reached the point where it was keeping him 543 00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:32,200 up at night and he could no longer lift his arm. 544 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,400 We went inside and pulled back the collar of his shirt, 545 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,559 revealing a small puncture wound in his shoulder. He said, 546 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,759 while preparing to take a shower that morning, something caught 547 00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,519 his attention out of the corner of his eye in 548 00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:49,119 the mirror. It was a line of dry blood which 549 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,839 had run down to his waist from this hole. If 550 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,279 he pressed fingers against the hole, he said, he could 551 00:33:55,319 --> 00:33:59,039 feel the track of the incision or probe upward into 552 00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:04,960 his shoulder. Swinging his arms in full clockwise and counterclockwise 553 00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:08,960 movements while laughing, he was obviously no longer unable to 554 00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:12,199 lift his arm. He also said there was no pain. 555 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,360 He had absolutely no memory of what happened or who 556 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,119 may have helped him with this need for relief. The 557 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:24,800 next day the hole had completely healed. Incidentally, his girlfriend 558 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,719 was sleeping beside him that night and she had no 559 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,880 memory of what may have happened. Third, a college student 560 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,719 had such a great experience on the first trip out, 561 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,840 where a weather vane began to spend very fast while 562 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,760 he stood underneath it for a photo. It spun for 563 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,800 sixty seconds. There hasn't been power to that water pump 564 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,239 for years, and there was absolutely no wind that night, 565 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,920 So being a student of meteorology, that was quite special 566 00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:57,320 for him. So special in fact, he returned with a 567 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,199 good friend who was pregnant, effered from severe anxiety, and 568 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,440 was fearful for her child's safety. I shared the story 569 00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:10,519 of a resident and female sasquatch visiting a pregnant mayor 570 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:14,119 in the corral every night. The mayor gave birth to 571 00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:17,559 a healthy colt, while other horse ranchers in the area 572 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:22,199 were having complications with births. Then I told her that 573 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,559 the sasquatch left footprints in the corral one day, and 574 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:30,719 beside hers were smaller, tiny prints. She had a child too. 575 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,800 It was right after I finished this story that this 576 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,880 woman cried out to the Sasquatch to help protect her 577 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:42,199 and her child. Immediately, we all heard a powerful vocalization 578 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,039 from the corral area, followed by an intense wave of love. 579 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,760 We all felt it wash over us and through us. 580 00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:54,280 That night, this woman was healed of her fear and anxiety. 581 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,480 The fourth, a young man told me he was having 582 00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:02,000 problems with his marriage where his wife didn't understand his 583 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:06,079 interest in such things. He told her he wanted to 584 00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:11,519 come visit the hotspot, and surprisingly she said okay. Nothing 585 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,960 happened during his outing and that depressed him. But he 586 00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:17,920 emailed me after he got home and told me a 587 00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:22,079 Ufo had visited their home and actually hovered low above 588 00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:25,920 the house. She was home and went outside to see it, 589 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,000 and now she believes and they have a wonderful relationship. 590 00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:34,960 And fifth, a woman told me that prior to his death, 591 00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:38,360 she was not on speaking terms with her father, so 592 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,599 the evening for her was about making contact with him 593 00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:45,400 and healing unresolved differences and guilt that she had been 594 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,519 carrying since childhood. His spirit visited her and she recognized 595 00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:55,840 his smell and presence. When he was beside her, she 596 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,079 felt his love and found forgiveness and healing that night 597 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,039 the sixth. My landlord even went with me one evening 598 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,639 and had quite the experience, and this is how she 599 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,280 described it. As I began to step from the edge 600 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,639 of the forest, quite plainly, I heard a voice right 601 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,599 alongside of me that told me that I no longer 602 00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:20,880 had to see anything and to just believe that they 603 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,119 were there. I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn't move, 604 00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:28,079 and in the blink of an eye, my vision completely 605 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:32,199 left me and total darkness absorbed me, and somehow I 606 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,480 felt my feet leave the ground. What immediately followed was 607 00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:41,239 a floating sensation. I screamed for Todd, who instantly grabbed 608 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,599 my arm, which seemed to pull me back to earth. Todd, 609 00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:47,639 I can't see, I said, What do you mean you 610 00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:50,840 can't see, I asked, My vision is gone. Hang on 611 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,960 to me, please. We stood there for what seemed like 612 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,320 an eternity to me, waiting for my vision to return. 613 00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:02,639 It eventually did, and Todd suggested that we go down 614 00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:06,119 to the corral. No, I'm not supposed to go any further, 615 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,079 I said. He didn't understand until I told him what 616 00:38:10,199 --> 00:38:13,960 I'd heard, that they were there and that I didn't 617 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,800 need to see them that I was just supposed to believe, 618 00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:22,360 and he understood perfectly. We turned around and headed back 619 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,679 up the hill, through the woods at the top and 620 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,639 back down the other side, And as we reached the 621 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,719 last ascent, I heard footsteps snapping and sloshing behind me, 622 00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:35,960 so I stopped and listened, and the footsteps got closer 623 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,559 and finally stopped next to me. I told Todd that 624 00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:45,320 someone was following me. I know, he replied. We headed 625 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,800 for home, and my dreams that night could not be explained. 626 00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:51,920 I didn't even try. I just went with the flow 627 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,639 and accepted everything that happened. During the course of the 628 00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:59,440 following morning, I grabbed a large outdoor watering can and 629 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,280 filled it to the brim. Was at least ten pounds 630 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,599 of water in it, and I began to water the 631 00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:09,719 multitude of plants throughout my home. Something seemed different, so 632 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,039 I stopped and tried to figure out what it was, 633 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,559 but kept watering the plants. Lifting the heavy can up 634 00:39:16,639 --> 00:39:20,239 to water a wastehil plant, I suddenly realized that the 635 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,039 watering can was in my right hand. There was no 636 00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:27,480 pain whatsoever as I carried and lifted it for the 637 00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:31,880 next half hour. I couldn't believe it. For some reason. 638 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,239 My right forearm had bothered me for quite some time, 639 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,400 to the point I could not pick up a glass 640 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,679 of water without such pain and almost dropping it. Many 641 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,159 people had worked on it, but it continued to be 642 00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:48,199 a mystery for almost ten or eleven months. Now that 643 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,440 was twelve years ago, and I still have no pain. 644 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,280 Someone had fixed me, I felt strongly as a gesture 645 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,079 of simply believing whatever happened to me out there, I'm 646 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:04,559 still in awe now. These are just a few of 647 00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:08,079 the healings which were made possible being at the right 648 00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:11,719 place at the right time. So could the camera guy 649 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,480 have been healed? Possibly? But I lost touch with him 650 00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:19,679 over the years and never found out. Often wonder about 651 00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:22,519 his friend and the reason for his being called to 652 00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:25,840 visit the house that night, what could have been in 653 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,800 store for him? But in both instances, these men were 654 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,639 able to resist that beckoning, as though they had been 655 00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:35,559 given a choice, and they chose to say no out 656 00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:44,760 of fear. What would you have done? Chapter five Motel 657 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:51,199 Room one nineteen chased out by coyotes. It was New 658 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,440 Year's Eve two thousand and nine. After reaching our destination, 659 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,760 a group of us stood beside the fence talking. Before long, 660 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,159 one couple broke off from the group and pulled me 661 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,239 to the side with them. We walked down the fence 662 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,760 line so they could talk with me in private. They 663 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,639 informed me of their plans to return later that evening 664 00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:14,679 after the tour was over, and that coming out with 665 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,119 me was about showing them how to get there. I 666 00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:20,800 asked them that if anything was to happen, that they 667 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,599 would contact me. Also wanted to see their photos in 668 00:41:24,639 --> 00:41:29,519 case anything was to appear in them. Before we rejoined 669 00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:32,639 the group, the husband snapped a flash photo of a 670 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840 corner where two fences met where we were talking, and 671 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,679 in that photo was a silhouette of a man invisible 672 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,559 to the human eye. He was on the other side 673 00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:44,880 of the fence and appeared to have a cigarette or 674 00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:49,159 toothpick in his mouth. This reminded me of a photograph 675 00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:52,639 taken in the same location back in the nineteen nineties 676 00:41:52,679 --> 00:41:57,159 by a previous homeowner. In their flash photo, a humanoid 677 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,440 figure was leaning against the fence. His face looked flat, 678 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,920 he had large yellow eyes. Was this the same guy 679 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,199 and was he listening in on the conversation about them 680 00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:12,599 sneaking back later? That night, you know he was, and 681 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,519 boy did he have a surprise waiting for them. We 682 00:42:16,639 --> 00:42:19,599 drove back to the shop and everyone said goodbye. And 683 00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:22,280 a few days later I received an email from them, 684 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,960 and here's what the husband wrote. While standing close to 685 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,880 where we took the photo of the invisible guy earlier 686 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,440 that night, my wife felt her hair stand on in 687 00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:37,920 something or someone is right behind me, she said, and 688 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,519 we need to leave right now. As we began walking 689 00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:44,840 back to our vehicle, we felt someone following us, and 690 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,639 fear sank in and we quickened our pace and then 691 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,360 out of nowhere, we estimated a dozen coyotes were only 692 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,199 a few yards behind us, and they were forcing us 693 00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:58,840 into a full on sprint back to the vehicle. Those 694 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,639 coyotes were so clear that we could hear them panting 695 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,719 right behind us at our feet, but when we turned 696 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,519 to look, we didn't see anything. Well, this freaked us out, 697 00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:13,159 so we started running as fast as we could. We 698 00:43:13,199 --> 00:43:15,159 made it back to the truck in one piece and 699 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,519 never saw those codes again. We raced back to the 700 00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:22,960 motel and when we got back it was one thirty am. 701 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,039 At three am, the walls of our motel room began shaking, 702 00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:31,800 violently and it lasted for over ten minutes. At first, 703 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,199 we suspected someone next door banging on the wall, but 704 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,079 we heard no one talking. This was unusual because for 705 00:43:39,159 --> 00:43:42,639 the whole week we always heard conversations on both sides 706 00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:45,880 of our room. The walls seemed thin, so this made 707 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,760 little sense. The next strange thing happened the following day, 708 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,639 this time around five am from the same motel room, 709 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,920 we heard a loud, humming sound throughout our room for 710 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,320 almost thirty minutes. It was strange because when we walked outside, 711 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,320 we didn't hear the sound. As soon as we walked 712 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,599 back into the room, it became loud again. We suspected 713 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,760 it was a washing machine or something, and when we 714 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,360 checked the laundry room, it was on the other side 715 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,960 of the motel and the sound we were hearing was 716 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,360 only in our room. So before checking out, we asked 717 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,760 about the noise complaints from our other guests, but nobody 718 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,079 else heard the noises either night. When I visited their 719 00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:34,159 motel to see if Room one nineteen had a history 720 00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:38,599 of poltergeist or other paranormal activity, they said that it 721 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,079 used to, but because the attendant hadn't heard of any 722 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,639 recent activity. She believed it must have been some time 723 00:44:45,679 --> 00:44:49,960 ago since the last haunting. Honestly, I don't believe the 724 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,280 motel was haunted. I wanted to check to see if 725 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,960 there was a history in that unit. I also think 726 00:44:57,039 --> 00:44:59,199 someone out at the ranch had a bit of fun 727 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,320 with them and kept them from getting a good night sleep. 728 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,119 After all, they were the only people ever to admit 729 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,519 being up to no good and wanting to go back 730 00:45:08,559 --> 00:45:12,760 and look around when nobody was looking. You keep us awake, 731 00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:18,599 We'll keep you awake. I used to live in an 732 00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:23,199 old house in the country in a community called China Grove, Mississippi, 733 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,079 off Old Highway twenty four. There was a particular stretch 734 00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:30,639 of Old twenty four where I always felt like I 735 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,320 was being watched. On the weekends, when I walked that 736 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,360 road to my cousin's house, I could hear something following 737 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,760 me from the woods. And when i'd stop, it would stop, 738 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,480 and when I went on it did too, and when 739 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,599 I ran, it would run. This went on for two weeks, 740 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,480 and when I told my cousin, he just brushed it off, 741 00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,840 and he told me that it was a deer or something. Well, 742 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,320 I invited him to come over to my house, hoping 743 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,559 we'd hear it again, and seeing that I was bothered, obliged. 744 00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:04,920 At first, we didn't hear anything, and when we did, 745 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,800 he was still convinced it was a deer. So I 746 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,079 started asking him things like why would a deer follow 747 00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:14,960 a person? And of course he could not come up 748 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,239 with a good explanation. On a Saturday morning in nineteen ninety, 749 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,039 that same unconvinced cousin came to my house and he 750 00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:27,280 woke me up. I got dressed and we went on 751 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,440 a walk toward the neighboring town. We stopped to take 752 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,239 a break when I looked over his shoulder and I 753 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,679 saw what I thought was a man looking around on 754 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,920 the ground for something. He was dressed in a strange outfit, 755 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,840 and he moved about in a weird way. I bought 756 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,159 my cousin, who turned and stared at this strange man, 757 00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:52,079 and then the guy shot behind a tall bush. My 758 00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:54,440 cousin told me it was just a hunter. When the 759 00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:58,159 man swiftly hopped closer to another bush and crouched behind 760 00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:00,400 it for a moment, and then stood up, holding his 761 00:47:00,519 --> 00:47:04,119 long arms out to his sides. The morning sun was 762 00:47:04,159 --> 00:47:08,360 shining through what reminded me of an orangutang fur draping 763 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,719 from the arms. Well, I realized quickly that it was 764 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,960 no man, This was a Si squatch. He held his 765 00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:21,079 gaze on us, and then angrily approached, swinging his arms 766 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,079 and clearing brush without effort, and small trees like they 767 00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:28,760 were twigs. We couldn't move it first, both of us 768 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,039 were in shock. I managed a deep breath and I 769 00:47:32,119 --> 00:47:34,719 ran as fast as I could. And I realized I'd 770 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,639 left my cousin standing there in shock, staring at this 771 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,719 thing lost budd and yelled his name, and he snapped too, 772 00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:46,880 and shooting past me in a blur. My muscles burned 773 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,559 from the fright. I was too scared to look behind me, 774 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,119 and I charged the rest of the way home as 775 00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:55,800 fast as I could. Later on, one time, when the 776 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,440 family was hanging out at my house, I made mention 777 00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:01,880 of what we'd seen. My cousin pretended he didn't know 778 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,280 what I was talking about. Later, in private, he told 779 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,599 me to never talk about that again. He said the 780 00:48:08,639 --> 00:48:13,119 obvious that folks would think we were crazy. I said, well, 781 00:48:13,159 --> 00:48:16,119 we both saw it, we knew it was real. And 782 00:48:16,159 --> 00:48:19,239 then I said, and if we told people they'd believe us, 783 00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:23,039 but he refused to agree to that. One night, I 784 00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:25,239 came home late from hanging out with some of the 785 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,159 family and I had to walk home. This was the 786 00:48:28,199 --> 00:48:30,280 first night I had to walk through the hall near 787 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,800 the incident, a space where the trees came together over 788 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:38,519 the road going uphill toward my folks. As I walked along, 789 00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:41,639 the sound of pacing in the woods started up again. 790 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,599 I walked, and it walked, and I stopped, and it stopped. 791 00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:49,599 I found a two inch thick stick to protect myself, 792 00:48:49,639 --> 00:48:51,719 and then I took off as fast as I could 793 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,199 toward the corner of Old twenty four. The footsteps followed me. 794 00:48:56,559 --> 00:48:58,840 They ran after me in the cover of the trees, 795 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,880 and when I stopped to get my breath, I heard 796 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,960 it approach the edge of the woods and come to 797 00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:08,199 a slow stop. Now I had a bad temper back then, 798 00:49:08,639 --> 00:49:11,599 being a late teenager, and even though I knew that 799 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,639 it was a sosquatch, I was sure that the stick 800 00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:18,000 I had would make it behave So I hollered something 801 00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,800 to the effect of I'm sick of you following me, 802 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,719 and if you want to fight, come on at which 803 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,639 points it kindly obliged me. I could hear its long 804 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,320 legged strides coming toward me, and I glanced at my stick. 805 00:49:32,119 --> 00:49:35,880 Suddenly it didn't seem as mighty as before, and I 806 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,400 dropped it and I ran home. Now that thing didn't 807 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,519 bother chasing me. The whole situation must have been amusing 808 00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:47,400 to him, my brief show of bravery, But that night 809 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,400 he decided to pay me a visit. My dad was 810 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,199 in bed propped up watching TV. He kept thirty eight 811 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,639 Special beside the bed in a twelve gage in the 812 00:49:56,679 --> 00:50:00,440 corner by the fireplace. I had never told him about 813 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,599 the Sasquatch. I knew he'd never believed me. While I 814 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,920 was in my room watching TV two and my head 815 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,360 propped by the window, and I kept hearing a noise outside, 816 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,280 So I turned the TV down and sat back on 817 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,920 the bed, and I caught a silhouette slowly passing by 818 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,320 my window. It was my buddy, the sisquatch, standing at 819 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,800 least nine feet tall, three feet wide at the chest, 820 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,800 and full of muscles. I could tell he was harry 821 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,800 and that his face was flat, and he walked slumped 822 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,920 over with his mouth cracked open, showing long teeth. He 823 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,599 breathed the throaty, chesty sound. It was low, like the 824 00:50:39,639 --> 00:50:42,679 base in a car stereo, and it was loud enough 825 00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:46,280 that I could feel it in my room. Well. I 826 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,039 was terrified, and I leaped to my door and in 827 00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:52,039 a loud whisper, I told my dad, get the gun, 828 00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:55,599 Get the gun, there's something outside. Before he could doubt me, 829 00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:59,280 I added, I don't play like this, Dad. With that, 830 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,079 my dad was outside with his thirty eight, and within 831 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,480 seconds I heard gunshots. I was terribly shaken and my 832 00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:10,760 body was buzzing with anxiety. A minute or two passed 833 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,480 and there was no sound of my dad or his gun. 834 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,679 Felt like I was in a nightmare, and for a 835 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,400 minute there I wondered whether or not my dad would 836 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,920 come back. In Another minute later, he came in, saying 837 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,519 he hadn't seen a thing. I didn't tell him what 838 00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:27,719 I had seen, but I did tell a few of 839 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,880 my buddies. About four or five of us went into 840 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,159 the woods during the day, Mainly I went to break 841 00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:37,320 the constant anxiety i'd been feeling, to find some kind 842 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,320 of explanation for what I had seen, and to feel 843 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,199 like myself again. All of us brought guns. We didn't 844 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,039 have anything big. Nobody was taking it too seriously other 845 00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:53,280 than me. There was a spot near my grandfather's that 846 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,599 I called the Ridge. It was a big, perfectly formed 847 00:51:56,639 --> 00:51:59,360 crater in the side of a hill that was to 848 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,119 be our bay. It was a raised platform, and just 849 00:52:03,159 --> 00:52:05,480 to make sure we could always find it to meet 850 00:52:05,559 --> 00:52:08,639 back there after our search, I put an old soda 851 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,280 bottle in the middle of it, which hopefully we could 852 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,079 see from wherever we were. After hanging around the ridge 853 00:52:16,119 --> 00:52:20,000 for a while and talking, we split up into little groups. 854 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,880 Some of the guys went too far into the woods 855 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,119 for my taste, so I decided to head back and 856 00:52:26,199 --> 00:52:29,719 wait as my partner went to try to find the others. 857 00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:33,320 I got back to the ridge and the bottle was gone. 858 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,159 I lifted the rifle and pointed it as I looked 859 00:52:37,199 --> 00:52:41,599 around me, but I didn't see anything. I left and 860 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,320 waited at my uncle's house instead, wanting to be anywhere 861 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:50,159 but in those trees. That same night, near the ridge, 862 00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:52,239 one of the guys started a little fire in the 863 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,199 middle of the road. We were sitting around it and 864 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,519 discussing what we'd seen, when behind my buddy I saw 865 00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:04,079 another sasquatch, smaller and younger than the one outside my window. 866 00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:08,440 It had the strangest gait I had ever seen, like 867 00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:12,000 the ghost girls in the horror movies, steady but fast, 868 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,480 a regular sort of gate, but in a fast forward motion. 869 00:53:17,679 --> 00:53:21,800 Years later, in early nineteen ninety four, i'd left work 870 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,760 late one night. A coworker of mine dropped me off 871 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,360 on a road leading to my house, and I had 872 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,320 to walk the rest of the way. There was a 873 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,480 new moon and so dark that I had to occasionally 874 00:53:34,639 --> 00:53:38,119 stop to let my eyes adjust. I heard it almost 875 00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:42,599 immediately on my walk, the sasquatch pacing me from the woods. 876 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,960 I had given my life to the Lord back in 877 00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:49,440 nineteen ninety one, and I began to pray. I could 878 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,480 hear it clearly in the trees, only this time it 879 00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:57,320 was getting closer, closing the distance between us. No matter 880 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,000 my prayers, it slowly and steadily kept walking toward me, 881 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,840 and then, filled with the boldness of the Lord, I 882 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,760 pointed in its direction in the darkness, and I let 883 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,199 it know that the Lord who made both of us, 884 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,800 gave man dominion over everything that creeps on the earth, 885 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,320 and I demanded that it go back into the woods. Well, 886 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,800 my words only encouraged it and it picked up its pace, 887 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,559 and it rushed toward me. I took a step forward, 888 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,840 pointed again, and repeated what I had said, louder and 889 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,760 more confidently, and then it stopped. It hesitated a second, 890 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,239 and it did turn back into the woods. It turns 891 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,039 out that these things do understand authority. I love the 892 00:54:42,079 --> 00:54:45,480 Lord too much to lie about him. He's my witness 893 00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:50,800 on this and every other encounter I've ever had. Okay, 894 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,679 that'll wind this podcast up. Thank you guys for joining me, 895 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,880 and we'll see you on the next one. Sure appreciate you.
