00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Today, I want to tell you about a journey that

2
00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I've been on for most of my life. Ever since

3
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, I've heard tales of bigfoot and

4
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>wild men while spending time with my friends and family.

5
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>As I grew older and read more about the paranormal,

6
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>my interest in encryptids and other things strange only deepened.

7
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm so excited to share with you what

30
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining me fred in Alaska. What I wanted

31
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>to share with you today comes from Rodolfo, originally from

32
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the Philippines. Doesn't live in Alaska anymore, not just due

33
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>to this situation, but different opportunities as far as his

34
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>job was concerned. What ended up happening about thirty years

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>ago is when Rodolpho came from the Philippines, he worked

36
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>country jobs down Dutch Harbor or various other places outside

37
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>of Togyak. It basically factory trollers working in a factory life,

38
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>just processing fish. After five years of that, he had

39
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>been saving his money decided I'm going to live in Anchorage.

40
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>He was doing well for himself. He had went to

41
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 2>a trade school. One of his good friends was an

42
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Alaska Native guy that he met at trade school. His

43
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>buddy was always talking about Bush, Alaska. His friend happened

44
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to be from the Yukon River area. His friend told

45
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>him one time, this is about twenty five years ago.

46
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>He said, Hey, my cousin just got his pilot's license.

47
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>He's itching to go a flight seeing. Maybe we can

48
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>do hey, moose hunting trips. Since you've never been hunting,

49
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>I'll take you moose hunting up in my home stomping grounds.

50
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll make a goul of it. Since my friend's willing

51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to fly stare for free. All we need to worry

52
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>about is our own provisions. Radolpho was like, yeah, but yeah, definitely.

53
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>What is up happening is they leave Anchorage. They had

54
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to make a couple of pit stops for fuel along

55
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the way. Their last pit stop was an aviic. They

56
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>got fuel, his friend took off. They started heading north

57
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>on the Yukon River. It worked out that as they

58
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>were going north, they noticed this little valley running parallel.

59
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>It was Grayling Creek. They've seen that and they're just

60
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 2>like Rodolpho's friend was like, yeah, let's go, let's go

61
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>down there. There's big moose in that area. Let's go,

62
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll go there. His friend did thing on the plotter,

63
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>made sure he knew where he was going to have

64
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>to go to get them back, because his friend had

65
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>other stuff to do. He had just gotten his license.

66
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>He was itching to do his own working for an outfitter.

67
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>He was going to be transporting people. He was anxious

68
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to make money. He had just gotten his license. Takes

69
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>them to the spot, the landing location, Rodolfo. He was

70
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 2>not familiar with the area. It's an approximate whether camp

71
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 2>is around the bend, a couple miles away up Grayling Creek. Well,

72
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>once they get back up in there, that's when they realized, hey,

73
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>we're at the bottom of its relatively steep. It's not

74
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>like super high mountains or anything, but it's relatively steep.

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Coming down into this little valley may not be the

76
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>best for moose. They gave it a couple days. Way

77
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>back up in there, they went further than three miles

78
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>to camp out. For the first night, they weren't feeling it.

79
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>It was really quiet. There wasn't much wildlife sign. As

80
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>they were coming back down the creek towards their landing area,

81
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>there were still a couple miles away from it, they

82
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>started seeing fresh moose sign. Rodolpho's friend was like, Hey,

83
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>this would be the good spot. We'll pick a camping

84
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.079
<v Speaker 2>spot near here. We'll go glass. There's a lot of

85
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>thick vegetation. They literally spent half a day too, because

86
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the first half was packing up their original camp and

87
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>moving down and setting up camp second time. But they

88
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>had to hack down a whole bunch of stuff just

89
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>to have a place that wasn't directly on the creek.

90
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>From what was told to me, the creek bed was

91
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>relatively dry. There was water moving through there, but very little.

92
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want to be down there because obviously there

93
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>there's no vegetation growing in there's obviously it was an

94
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 2>area for rainwater runoff, snow melt runoff. It just wasn't

95
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 2>a place where his friend wanted to be. Rodolfo honestly

96
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't know better at the time. He wasn't well versed

97
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>at hunting at all. I had to borrow a rifle

98
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>from his friend all that stuff. Anyway, at the end

99
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>of day too, they had camp set up. It was

100
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 2>roughly thirty five feet above the creek bottom. As they

101
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>were camping, they had a fire set up. His friend

102
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>made something to do with cariboo. There was a little

103
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>bit of loss in translation, but it was cariboo.

104
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Meet.

105
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Rodolfo was enjoying that with his friend. This is early

106
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>faul it's hunting seasons. I had to have been at

107
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>least August twentieth, because Rodolfo couldn't remember the exact day.

108
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>We'll say end of August twenty five years. Back from

109
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>their camp spot, there's vegetation kind of blocking their view

110
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 2>of the creek, except when they're facing the creek from

111
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>the hillside. Off a little bit, there's a little alley

112
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>way that they had gouged out made their way up.

113
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>That was their only line of sight down to the

114
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 2>creek bottom. It gets on in the darkness. They got

115
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>this fire going. They got lucky there was some dead spruce,

116
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>some other dead vegetation really nearby. They were lucky to

117
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>have a good amount of firewood. From what Rodolpho said,

118
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>it was just after it got completely dark, no light

119
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 2>over the horizon, couldn't see the top of the mountains

120
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>around him or anything. That's when they started hearing a

121
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>weird whistling sound coming down from the creek. They keep

122
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 2>looking around. His friend would turn on a spotlight every

123
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>once in a while, looking for whatever is making this whistle,

124
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>because at night typically you don't hear a bunch of

125
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>birds whistling stuff. It was really odd. They listened to this,

126
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>he said, for about three four hours because his native

127
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 2>friend was unsettled. Rodolfo didn't understand at the time. You

128
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 2>got to remember, he's less than six years away from

129
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the Philippines, where he's still really heavily speaking broken English.

130
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>He's not understanding a lot of the stuff because of

131
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that cultural clash. It wasn't bad, he just didn't fully

132
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>understand his native buddies distress. His friend said, wait here,

133
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go down there with the flashlight take

134
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>a look around to see if I could see this thing.

135
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Rodolfo didn't know any better. He didn't put up any

136
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of argument to it. He was like, okay, I'll

137
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 2>wait here. His friend reiterates, Hey, that's the safety on

138
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the gun. Rodolfo understood firearms. He never used a bolt

139
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>action rifle, but he understood the mechanism safety. He wasn't

140
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>an idiot by any means. His friend goes down the

141
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 2>path Ridolfo was watching. He's just seeing the light. That's

142
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 2>all he's seeing is the light what he's shining on.

143
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Just as his friend gets down to the bottom of

144
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>this there are thirty five feet aboves had to have

145
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>been at least seventy feet eighty feet to the creek bottom.

146
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>He's watching him, watching the flashlight going back forth. He's

147
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>just standing there watching. When his friend gets down to

148
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>the bottom at the creek, he sees the spotlight go

149
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>out of view, but he could see his vegetation lit

150
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 2>up across the way from his friend. Going back forth,

151
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>he saw a huge shadow. He was thrown off because

152
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>it was quick. His friend was swinging the light. He

153
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 2>saw a shadow on the vegetation from whatever his friend

154
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.319
<v Speaker 2>just beamed. All of a sudden, his friend comes scrambling

155
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 2>up the hill and the light's just bouncing around. From

156
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Rodolph's perspective, all he's seen is the flashlight coming back

157
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>at him. Was like, whoa, he's this standing there no

158
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>cause for alarm at this moment. His friend was coming

159
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>up real fast. He knew nothing about what the big

160
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>shadow was until afterwards his friend gets back up to camp.

161
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Rodolfo said his friend was in tears, panicking like he'd

162
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 2>never seen. He had known this guy through the trade school.

163
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.840
<v Speaker 2>He had known this guy really well. He never seen

164
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>him this freaked out. It made him concerned. Where he

165
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>was clutching the rifle. He was looking around. He was like,

166
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>what's going on? What's going on? His friend kept saying,

167
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the Harryman's down there, the harryman. Rodolpho didn't understand what

168
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the hell is a harryman because in his mind's eye,

169
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>he's just thinking like a mountain man, big beard, that

170
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. That's what he had envision and goes no,

171
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 2>like a bigfoot, starts asking questions, what's the bigfoot? What's this?

172
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>What's that? His friend gets a little annoyed because he

173
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>just beamed this thing with a flashlight. He told radolphel

174
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>when he got down to the bottom of the hill

175
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 2>where Rodolphul couldn't see, but when he saw that old

176
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>shadow in the beam of light, the shadow that was

177
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>cast from the light, his friend said, when he got

178
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>down to the bottom, he heard a grunt off to

179
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>his left. He turned immediately started flashed around, didn't see

180
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>anything at first, and then this thing stepped out, looked

181
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>at him. Said when it looked at him, it looked

182
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>really angry. That's when his friend retreated back up. They're

183
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 2>both standing up by this fire. His friend's loading up

184
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the fire, warning him, Hey, don't stare at the light

185
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the firelight too much because you'll lose your night vision.

186
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 2>We need to keep an eye out for this thing

187
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>because it's just down there. The last place they saw

188
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>it was just below them. He was too focused on

189
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>what the hell is going on down below because they

190
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>were hearing movement. They would hear brush move his friend

191
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 2>would hit the flashlight shine. They weren't seeing anything, but

192
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 2>they heard movement. Because of where they were elevated above

193
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the creek bed, it was harder for them to determine

194
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>pinpoint where the sounds was because any cracking brush or

195
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever would also echo from across the other side of

196
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>vegetation back at them. Even though it was muted, it

197
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 2>was still obscuring the sound. They couldn't pinpoint. His friend

198
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>was hyper vigilant with flashlight trying to figure it out.

199
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>He said it must have gone another hour of that

200
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 2>going on. Rodolfo was getting tired. He didn't understand fully

201
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>what was going on. It just wasn't in his wheelhouse.

202
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>After about an hour that he told his friend, I'm tired,

203
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna lay down. You let me know if you

204
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>need help or whatever. But he didn't realize the potential

205
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>danger there. His friend was just like, yeah, go ahead,

206
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you know. Rodolpho said he crawls into a

207
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>sleeping bag and had the rifle down by his feet,

208
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>though pop up tid he falls asleep. He said he

209
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but when

210
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 2>he woke up to gunshots, there was light on the horizon.

211
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>He could see the upper ridge by the mountain they

212
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 2>were on. All of a sudden, he woke up to

213
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>three gunshots, bamm and screaming, go get out of here,

214
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>get out of here. He thought his friend was yelling

215
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>at him to get out here. He was saying get

216
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>out of here. In those moments, being freaked out, he

217
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>thought his friend was calling him out of the tent.

218
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>He rushes out with the gun and he's trying to

219
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>open his eyes figure out what was going on. Rodolfo

220
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>said his friend was in tears. He could see the

221
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 2>tears streaking down his cheeks because he was just freaking out.

222
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 2>He was like, what happened? What happened? He's got the rifle,

223
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>but he doesn't know what to do. He's just there.

224
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 2>He's an extra set of hands holding the gun. At

225
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 2>this point, his friend tells him it was just next

226
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 2>to me. I didn't see it. It was next to me.

227
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see it. That confused Rodolpho. He goes, what

228
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>do you mean you didn't see it? If it's there,

229
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 2>how you not see it? What it was doing was

230
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>looking from the brush just outside of the area they

231
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Speaker 2>cleared for their camp, less than ten feet away. This

232
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>thing was slowly part in the brush, staring at his friend,

233
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 2>who was not even looking damn near at his feet

234
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 2>in the brush. He was trying to beam down towards

235
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a creek bed. He's literally overlooking this thing until when

236
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>he was bringing his flashlight down. At one point, cut eyeshine,

237
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 2>big eyeshine looking at him just feet away. That's when

238
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 2>he freaked out, started shooting and brought Rodolpho out. From

239
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>what Ridolpho said, his friend told him that once he

240
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>started shooting, out of being just sheer startled, this thing

241
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 2>just nonchalantly walked away, got onto the trail they had

242
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 2>just busted coming up, and walked down to the creek bed,

243
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 2>he said. For the rest of that morning they sat there.

244
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 2>His friend was just shivering, not from the cold, but

245
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>from just the adrenaline. He said. Once it got fully daylight,

246
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>because they sat there quite as church mice, just listening

247
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 2>as the sun was getting ready to come up, the

248
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>scream just echoed up down the valley, real loud. Ridolfo

249
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>based had to cover his ears because it was reverberating everywhere,

250
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 2>he said. After that, his friend was really spooked. They

251
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 2>had a handheld VHF little runabout radio the rover. He

252
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>turned it on starts trying to radio for any local

253
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>air traffic because his friend wasn't going to be due

254
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 2>back for at least a couple more days according to

255
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>their game plan, weather permitting. He knew they were a

256
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 2>couple miles from the landing area, where his friend said

257
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>that he would come and meet them when it comes

258
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>time to be out there. They could signal each other

259
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, but there are a couple of days before

260
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 2>this is supposed to happen. Regardless, his buddy gets on

261
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 2>the handheld, starts radio for local air traffic. Not a peep,

262
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 2>nothing going on. It gets a little lighter. His friend

263
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>goes let's pack up. We got to go to the

264
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>landing area. Ridolf's not arguing. His friend's telling him there's

265
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>this monster. All Rodolfo is seen at this point is

266
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a big shadow cast gun shots, his friend telling him

267
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>what happened. He didn't see the eye shine, but he's

268
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>just literally a participant in this. He says, Okay, yeah,

269
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll pack it, we'll go. They get everything packed up.

270
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>When they get down to the bottom of the creek

271
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>that he left because he said it reminded him of

272
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>the pink panther. Don't looking around doing all this kind

273
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. Rodolfo is kind of holding his rifle, just

274
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>what are we doing? Because he wasn't as freaked out

275
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>as his friend because he hadn't seen anything. He wasn't

276
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>mocking him. He just said it was comical. The way

277
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>his friend was moving was this hyper vigilant when the

278
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>wind would blow Russell leaves. His friend was just heam

279
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and the gun. He said. Going down this creek, it's

280
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.759
<v Speaker 2>a low grade going downhill and it hooks off to

281
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 2>their left coming from their camp. He said. When they

282
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 2>were just coming up to the point to where they

283
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 2>were going to have to curve around, he said, his

284
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>friend stops dropped down to one knee. It's pointing the

285
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>rifle just straight ahead because the creek curves. But he's

286
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 2>pointing into the brush. Rodolfo's not seeing anything. His friend's saying,

287
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 2>it's standing there. It's standing there. Rodolfo doesn't see anything.

288
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Then he sees this sing move. The color brown, some

289
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 2>of the sandy looking color in the dirt, like a

290
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>carmel kind of brown, and little darker hues along with

291
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 2>the boulder stuff. And once this thing moved, then he

292
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>was able to see it because when it moved from

293
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>where it was squatted down, it stood up and he

294
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.519
<v Speaker 2>could see the green behind it. He could see the

295
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 2>silhouette a little better, but it was still a couple

296
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred yards away.

297
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more Sasquatch out to see.

298
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back.

299
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>After these messages.

300
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Rudolpho said, he got really scared really fast. I asked him.

301
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, did it act aggressive it? Dolfho

302
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 2>was like, no, it just stood there for a moment.

303
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 2>It did this moving back and forth thing. Then it

304
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>walked off up into the brush and he sat there

305
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 2>and watched the brush move because it was out of sight,

306
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>but they saw the brush move as it went up.

307
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 2>He said, it kept going, kept going until they couldn't

308
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 2>find the movement anymore because the wind picked up a

309
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 2>little bit, all the brushers moving. They continue on down

310
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>very slowly. According to what Rudolpho said, his friend was

311
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>really shaken again, didn't know what to do. Kept saying,

312
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>there's no shortcuts. We got to take the creek bed

313
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>because we can't cut through the vegetation, and Ridolfo's agreeing

314
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 2>with him, yes we can't. Let's just go. He wasn't

315
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>as freaked out as his friend. I asked him. I

316
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 2>was like, it was it because you didn't know what

317
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>to expect? Or was it just what caused you to

318
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>not be as freaked out? He goes, I only saw

319
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>it way way far away. I didn't see it staring

320
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.559
<v Speaker 2>at me less than ten feet away or whatever. I

321
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>was like, hey, fair enough, that's your feeling on it,

322
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 2>that's you know what it is. But he said, once

323
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>they got down around that bend, his friend started walking

324
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>behind him, always turning around looking back up in the

325
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>direction which would be directly in front of him. At

326
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>this point, when they turned around looking up the hillside,

327
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.039
<v Speaker 2>the mountain side there whether saying had walked off. They

328
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>got back to the general area of where the plane landed,

329
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.159
<v Speaker 2>basically set up camp. He said. For the first night

330
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>his friend didn't sleep at all. There was no more noises,

331
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.600
<v Speaker 2>not even birds. They were in an open area, literally

332
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 2>on the creek bed. As he went to bed, his

333
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 2>friend was still up. He had to relieve himself. Halfway

334
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 2>through that night, got up. The campfire was dying down.

335
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.519
<v Speaker 2>His friend had fallen asleep sitting up next to this

336
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 2>little backpack some other stuff that he made a lean

337
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>two chair to sit on the ground, lean against next

338
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 2>to the fire. He didn't want to disturb his friend,

339
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>but his friend was holding the gun. He wanted his

340
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>friend to know, Hey, I'm stepping over here to relieve myself.

341
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Didn't want to accidentally get shot. Wakes his friend up,

342
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>lets him know. His friend startled a little bit. God

343
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 2>starts stoking the fire as Rodolfo relieves himself. Rodolfo said,

344
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 2>when he came back to the tent to crawl back in,

345
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.960
<v Speaker 2>as the fire was rebuilding, putting off more light, he

346
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>was having a short conversation with his friend about, Hey,

347
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 2>you need to get some rest. Buddy, you're tired. We

348
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>got another day or whatever for the plane's supposed to

349
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 2>be back. Maybe get some rest. His friend was just like, no, man,

350
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 2>it's still out here. Freaked out, Rodolpho said, just as

351
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 2>he was getting ready to crawl back into the tent,

352
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.079
<v Speaker 2>the fire there was real dry branches that lit up

353
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>real fast. Lit it up brighter than it was when

354
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.960
<v Speaker 2>he came out, because it was not smoldering yet. But

355
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it was a real small fire at that point when

356
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 2>he first came out, short conversation, those branches caught it

357
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>lit up more. Off to his left, he noticed eye

358
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>shine right. I asked him about how far. He said,

359
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:31.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty feet maybe it was just a short distance away

360
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 2>in the brush. About halfway up the brush which from

361
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the creek bed there was a little bit of a

362
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>rise to the edge of the creek bank and the

363
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>vegetation started. He said it was probably ten feet high.

364
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Where he saw the eye shine. Immediately was like, oh,

365
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I pointed at it. His friend had seen it almost

366
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the same time he did. Stands up, grabs a rifle,

367
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>starts pointing and saying, get out of here, Get out

368
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of here. Rodolfo retrieves a rifle from the tent that

369
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 2>he had next to sleeping bag, steps out beside him,

370
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 2>is just holding it. He didn't want to point a rifle.

371
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.200
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know what was going on. He was just

372
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>standing there in case something bad happened. From what Rodolfo said,

373
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 2>as he's standing behind his friend, just off to his

374
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.319
<v Speaker 2>friend's shoulder, about maybe five feet this thing stepped out

375
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.880
<v Speaker 2>onto the creek bed. They're sitting there. He sees the

376
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>eye shine. His friend stands up, starts yelling, get out

377
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 2>of here, get out of here. This thing steps out,

378
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>he guess makes it Roudolpho says it's about ten foot tall.

379
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Scared him. Scared Rodolpho very badly because when it stepped

380
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 2>out onto the creek bed, it starts showing its teeth.

381
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>It was making gestures using the back of its hand,

382
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.599
<v Speaker 2>brushing dirt on the ground. It would squat down, do

383
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.079
<v Speaker 2>that and stand up, putting on a display. He said

384
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 2>it looked like it was trying to show dominance. No

385
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>one was arguing with this thing about who is dominant.

386
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>He said. It only lasted brief moments. Then it stood

387
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.279
<v Speaker 2>up screamed at him, not very long, not super loud,

388
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 2>because it was basically standing over him. He said it

389
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 2>was about maybe twenty feet away doing this, turned around,

390
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>walked off into the darkness. His friend. Obviously neither one

391
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.160
<v Speaker 2>of them slept, built up the fire real big. Basically,

392
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.359
<v Speaker 2>they stayed there until a little bit later on in

393
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the morning. His buddy with the plane was supposed to

394
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 2>be back that day or the following day, but either way,

395
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>he said, his friend was on the handheld calling. Any

396
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 2>time you'd hear a plane buzzing anywhere nearby, he would

397
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 2>get on handheld relayed a message to his friend because

398
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 2>the one plane he tried to get a hold of

399
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 2>that was nearby said he was busy, he was doing

400
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a run for someone who needed to go to the

401
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>hospital or something. But through relay, his friend was gotten

402
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a hold of let him know that they needed to

403
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.920
<v Speaker 2>be picked up by the end of that day, the

404
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>morning after or later on in the day from this

405
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 2>thing stepping out doing this display, his friend ended up

406
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 2>coming in and getting them out of there. I want

407
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 2>to thank Ridolfo for reaching out. There was a little

408
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 2>bit of misunderstanding it times talking to him, because he

409
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>still has a very heavy Filipino accident. Some of the

410
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.960
<v Speaker 2>words were hard for me. To understand. He totally understood.

411
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't like, you know, thinking I was trying to

412
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>be a jerk. He lost track of his friend some

413
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>years back. He's not sure where his friend is. He

414
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.799
<v Speaker 2>gave me his friend's name where he's from. I would

415
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 2>have loved to have gotten hold of him. But the

416
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>inroads I made trying to reach out back channel wise

417
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.160
<v Speaker 2>what not. Nothing came of it. Couldn't find a guy

418
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 2>anywhere on Facebook or anything like that. I'd love to

419
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>hear his side of it, because from what Rudolfo shared,

420
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like the display was more get out of

421
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>here versus I'm going to get you, which, hey me,

422
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm biased. I don't trust him. But if they're not attacking,

423
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not attacking. It is what it is. He was

424
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure it was just showing itself to be the

425
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 2>one in charge that they had to leave or whatever.

426
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It's super cold out the last couple of days up

427
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>here minus twenty six. It's just misery. What I want

428
00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to share with you today comes from Marcus Davy, former

429
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:08.039
<v Speaker 2>military many deployments to the Sandbox. As Marcus puts it,

430
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it works out that Davy was actually one of his underlings.

431
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Marcus was in a leadership role. Davy was one of

432
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.960
<v Speaker 2>his squad members. They deployed the different spots over a

433
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 2>number of years that got split up, but eventually came back.

434
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Two thousand and nine, Marcus started getting out of the military,

435
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 2>which I guess is a process I wouldn't know military

436
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>guys would. During this time, he had some leave. He

437
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>took a vacation to Montana and learned how to flyfish.

438
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Loved it really therapeutic form. When he came back, Davy

439
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 2>was getting out too. They ran into each other. He

440
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.640
<v Speaker 2>told them, Hey, you should check out fly fishing. It

441
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>really helped me. Davey went with Marcus to Wyoming. They

442
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.559
<v Speaker 2>did some flyfishing there. They digged it, loved it a lot.

443
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>They go back to their perspective places. Because they're still

444
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 2>getting out of the military, it had to find different housing.

445
00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Shit like that. Marcus reaches out to one of his

446
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.119
<v Speaker 2>buddies that had gotten out a few years before, said

447
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>he was going to Alaska to look him up. He

448
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 2>tracked him down. He happened to be doing some work

449
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.400
<v Speaker 2>out at Connakinack Hospital when Marcus got a hold of him.

450
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.640
<v Speaker 2>His friend had been living in Dillingham a couple of

451
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>years acquired eighteen foot lund, a thirty horse outboard. His

452
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>friend was like, if fly fishing fishing in general is

453
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.440
<v Speaker 2>what you like, dude, I'm in Bristol Bay, the largest

454
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.640
<v Speaker 2>semon return in the world. You need to be up here.

455
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Marcus gets stoked, you know. He reached out to Davy.

456
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Davy was like, sure, I'll go to Alaska with you.

457
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah. They end up getting up here. Meeting with

458
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Marcus's friend in Dillingham in twenty eleven. It was early June,

459
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.799
<v Speaker 2>lots of mosquitoes, lots of daylight. There was a lot

460
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.400
<v Speaker 2>of activity on the bay, but that was for commercial fishing.

461
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the lodges on the river. They got it

462
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 2>all figured out. They used his lund. Marcus had learned

463
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 2>how to read channels when he was in Montana. His

464
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.079
<v Speaker 2>buddy felt comfortable enough to let Marcus, He's a responsible guy,

465
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 2>take his skiff. They went way up the New Sheigak.

466
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 2>They looked for the furthest cabin they could find, which

467
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>works out to be off the Newshigak River, off the

468
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Chichitnok River. It's way up the Nushagak River. Now, from

469
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 2>what Marcus said, it was a journey. I had to

470
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.960
<v Speaker 2>stop grab fuel in New Studia Hawk to make sure

471
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.039
<v Speaker 2>they had enough fuel because they still had a good

472
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:30.799
<v Speaker 2>ways to go. They got a guy to guide them

473
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 2>because in that particular spot, if you look on Google

474
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Earth around Klignik, there's all sorts of different It's like

475
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>a maze. It's easy if you don't know the area,

476
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to get mixed up. Just go in circles.

477
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 2>This guy showed them, got them to a point to

478
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>where they're pretty much full proof, sent them on their way.

479
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Marcus avy when they get to this cabin. They get

480
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 2>up to this cabin, on the way up, they would

481
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 2>periodically throw the anchor fly fish. That's why they were there.

482
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 2>They're having a great time. Marcus said, the closer they

483
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 2>got to this cabin, the energy was different up there.

484
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 2>It was way different. It was beautiful, but he said

485
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.799
<v Speaker 2>the energy made him feel like they were getting ready

486
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 2>to clear a small village looking for Taliban fighters, which

487
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I can only imagine that kind of ominous. What are

488
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 2>we going to be in for? But he said it

489
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>was really weird to feel that in the wilds of Alaska.

490
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.599
<v Speaker 2>They get to the cab and he said, when we're unloading.

491
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>First they got out of the skiff, went checked the

492
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:28.839
<v Speaker 2>cab and make sure it was usable, all this kind

493
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. As they're looking, they were armed. They each

494
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:35.319
<v Speaker 2>had an AR platform five five six rifle also deve.

495
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Marcus's friend sent them with his forty five seventy elever

496
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 2>gun with plenty of AMMO. For the forty five seventy,

497
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>he goes, look, you don't know about bears. He broke

498
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 2>down some things. This a you want something with some thump.

499
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Your ars are great, but that's not going to stop

500
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a charging bear. It's going to really piss it off

501
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 2>before it gets to you. He took his advice. They

502
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 2>went to the shooting range. He got it on point

503
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 2>to where he was very comfortable with the forty five

504
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 2>seventy before this trip. They get up there, he has

505
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>the forty five seventy with them, baby has his AR.

506
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 2>As they go inspect the cab and stuff. Just a shell.

507
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>It's a dried in cabin, a survival shelter basically, no

508
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>wood stove, nothing like that. Just a shelf, a door.

509
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a window next to the door, a window. As

510
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 2>you're going into this little cabin, the cabin faces towards

511
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:23.799
<v Speaker 2>the Chichitnok River. If you're standing at the front door

512
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 2>looking out towards the river, actually it's a little askew.

513
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>It's a little cattywompus. It's actually facing it due north

514
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the doorway. If you're at the door, the window will

515
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>be over here on your left. They inspect around, make

516
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>sure there was no bear hanging out and there stuff.

517
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>They're chuckling because for some reason they felt really nervous

518
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 2>about what the hell. It's as weird. They gather up

519
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.599
<v Speaker 2>their stuff, they're making trips. They're being very vigilant on

520
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 2>looking around. This is their first time in the wilds

521
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 2>of Alaska. Sit it is drastically different than Montana. Some

522
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.880
<v Speaker 2>similarities the Wyoming and Montana, but just the sheer isolation

523
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and of everything. As they're unloading, Marcus said that it

524
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 2>was their last trip to the skiff. At that point,

525
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 2>they were relaxed on packing the guns. He had a

526
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 2>nine milimeter pistol on his hip Davy's side arm. He

527
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 2>had a forty five, but it was still packed away.

528
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.920
<v Speaker 2>They were getting the last of the stuff. They were

529
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 2>coming back up to the cabin. There's a little bit

530
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 2>of a dog leg on the trail, because you got

531
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to understand, it's a brushy river bank where they were.

532
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.880
<v Speaker 2>When they got up there, they had to clear a

533
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.759
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an area. There's an obvious game trail,

534
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 2>and I used it to where the trail was because

535
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>this cabin, it appeared to them, hadn't been used in

536
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.440
<v Speaker 2>quite a while, but it was still standing. It was

537
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 2>dried in. On their way back, they reached that dog

538
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>leg that cuts back over towards seeing the cabin straight on,

539
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.839
<v Speaker 2>they heard a whooping scream off to their He said,

540
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 2>if twelve o'clock was the direction he was facing, would

541
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 2>be at his two o'clock, just off the corner of

542
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the cabin back behind. Whooping scream, thrashing moving away, freak

543
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 2>them out. He draws his gun. Davy breaks into the

544
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:02.039
<v Speaker 2>cabin right us in there to grab his gun, comes

545
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 2>back out. They're listening. They hear noise just breaking away,

546
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>just thrashing, and this weird noise they never heard before.

547
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>They were trying to rationalize it away. But it must

548
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 2>have been a bear in heat or mating season for bears,

549
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>or something new to Alaska. They didn't know. As they

550
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:21.559
<v Speaker 2>get back into the cabin. They're looking out that window.

551
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.559
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to assess what the hell is at Well,

552
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.720
<v Speaker 2>this sounded really big. They could hear the breaking thrashing

553
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.880
<v Speaker 2>as it moved away. They just assumed it must be

554
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a huge bear. The first couple of days they stayed

555
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 2>near this cabin, just around just casting from shore. They

556
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>went out in the skiff down on the Nisgak a

557
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>little ways once or twice just for the first three

558
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>days or they were just sticking near the cabin. On

559
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.599
<v Speaker 2>day four, the morning of at four am, Marcus was

560
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>woken up by Davy. Davy had a little harder go

561
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.119
<v Speaker 2>of it during his time in the service. He would

562
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>periodically have nightmares. It was something Marcus was aware of

563
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>because they had dealt with it on deployment in the past.

564
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 2>He was well aware of this issue that Davy was

565
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.319
<v Speaker 2>dealing with. But what was weird is at four am

566
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.279
<v Speaker 2>when he was woken up by Davy, sitting up, he's

567
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 2>yelling at the window that's directly off to his left.

568
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>He's yelling at it. You're not going to intimidate me.

569
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not scared to you. You're not going to intimidate me.

570
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not scared to you. Marcus is, hey, you're okay, buddy,

571
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.279
<v Speaker 2>You're okay, You're safe, and he notices dark movement by

572
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 2>the freaking window. He's holy shit. He jumps up. He's

573
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>scrambling and grabs something. He gets a hold of his

574
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 2>pistol because it's not pits black in there, but it's

575
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 2>dark enough to where everything isn't easily visible. But he

576
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 2>happened to bump his pistol and grab the hold of it.

577
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 2>He points it out the window as this dark figure

578
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>moves away. Now it's land of the midnight sun. Let's

579
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.359
<v Speaker 2>not fully dark outside, it would be along the lines

580
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the sun. Was actually up pointing the pistol at this,

581
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>saying Davy's still screaming, I ain't fucking scared of you.

582
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 2>You're just yelling. Marcus is like, hey, he puts his

583
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 2>hand on his shoulder. He goes, I'm with you, buddy,

584
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 2>and he's still pointing the gun at the window. The

585
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>figure's gone. He can't make it out. He's looking around.

586
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Davy gets up that thing all night was trying to

587
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>talk to me, and Marcus is disturbed by this because

588
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>he's wait a minute, but wake up, wake up, Davy

589
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 2>looks at. He goes, I'm gonna wait, dude, I've been

590
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.039
<v Speaker 2>awake for hours. This thing has been trying to get

591
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>me outside.

592
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.

593
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back.

594
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>After these messages.

595
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Marcus is like, why didn't you wake me up? He goes,

596
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I was busy arguing with this thing. Marcus is blown

597
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:35.039
<v Speaker 2>away by this. He saw the thing. Otherwise he would

598
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 2>be thinking, his Buddi's just lost it. He goes, calm down,

599
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 2>tell me what happened. He goes. A couple hours ago,

600
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I kept feeling a thump in the floor. Davy was

601
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.079
<v Speaker 2>having a hard time sleeping out in the walls of

602
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Alaska new environment. The sheer remoteness, that weird feeling. They

603
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 2>got the whoop from a couple of days before. He

604
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.960
<v Speaker 2>was hyper paranoid, but he said this thing was gradually

605
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 2>showing itself just in shadow for out the window, silhouette

606
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>motioning him outside. Marcus asked them, Davy, what do you

607
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 2>mean motioning? He goes, I could see it holding up

608
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>a big hand, motioning come outside. Davy said that he

609
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.319
<v Speaker 2>was whispering at first, go away, I ain't coming outside.

610
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Screw you. You're not going to intimidate me. I'm not

611
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 2>scared of you. It gradually got loud to where it

612
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:26.839
<v Speaker 2>woke Marcus up. Marcus saw Davy sitting up, and that's

613
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>how that went down. He felt out of place in

614
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 2>his own skin when this was happening, because his rifle

615
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>was over by the door, which was approximately ten feet away.

616
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>This thing was there. It was massive. He wasn't going

617
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 2>to be intimidated by it. But he didn't feel safe

618
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>enough to go for the rifle because he would basically

619
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 2>have to go past this thing to get to the rifle.

620
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.279
<v Speaker 2>He's felt he needed to stand his ground. They calmed down.

621
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.799
<v Speaker 2>They kept looking out the window, they kept looking around,

622
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:00.759
<v Speaker 2>They kept trying to figure out where this thing go.

623
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Davy said, screw this, I ain't gonna be intimidated. I

624
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know what the hell that thing was, but it

625
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 2>had a big ass hand. They start debating what is it?

626
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>After a little while, going back and forth, it wasn't

627
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 2>a fair The trail took him to bigfoot. They figured, Okay,

628
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 2>this is a bigfoot. What the hell do we do?

629
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Do we know anything about a big foot? As they're

630
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.039
<v Speaker 2>debating that, on the side of the cabin on the

631
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:26.519
<v Speaker 2>far back where there's no windows or anything. Bam. The

632
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>whole place shakes. It was hit real hard. Bam. They

633
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>immediately looking out windows. They both say, you know what,

634
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:36.519
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to be intimidated. Let's deal with this

635
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.680
<v Speaker 2>train tactical. Marcus said he was in the lead because

636
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 2>he had the larger gun. Davy was behind him, one

637
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>hand on his shoulder. He had his car being in

638
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:47.480
<v Speaker 2>his hand. They come around, They come down the stairs

639
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.039
<v Speaker 2>and they come around the side of the cabin that

640
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 2>has the window on us. If you're facing the cabin

641
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.519
<v Speaker 2>directly at the door, because there was a well used

642
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:56.079
<v Speaker 2>game trail on that side versus more brush on the

643
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.599
<v Speaker 2>other sides, pat the least resistance. They come out. They

644
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>tactically go around. They're not seeing anything. They get around

645
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to the back, he said, on the back wall, there

646
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 2>was a huge, muddy looking handprint, five fingers, just massive,

647
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>but the thumb was further set back on the hand.

648
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.359
<v Speaker 2>It was big. He said. He touched it because there

649
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 2>was a weird smell. It was real greasy feeling. It

650
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't mud, it was this greasy type substance. He smelled

651
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.440
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit and it was just god awful

652
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 2>in the stench. He wiped his finger off on the

653
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>wood to try to get it, and he was sticking

654
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>his fingers in the dirt to get that smell off

655
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 2>because it was pretty pungent. Marcus said, after he was

656
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 2>knelt down, getting the dirt on his fingers, rubbing it

657
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.799
<v Speaker 2>around stuff. He wasn't focused on his surroundings, but Davy was.

658
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Davey started tapping him on the shoulder, saying twelve o'clock,

659
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 2>twelve o'clock. Immediately, Marcus jumps up, grabs the forty five seventy,

660
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:50.519
<v Speaker 2>swings around, gets it up in the position, and he's looking.

661
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:52.519
<v Speaker 2>He said, what did you see? What you see at

662
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 2>av points to some shrubs off in the distance. There's

663
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 2>this real dark figure in there. Marcus starts yelling out,

664
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 2>commands show yourself for I'm going to fire, not as pete,

665
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 2>not a sound. He fires a shot, not directly at

666
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>this thing, but to where it would get its attention.

667
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 2>It did. He fired the forty five to seventy into

668
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 2>the brush. This thing immediately stands up. They're now looking

669
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:18.239
<v Speaker 2>up at this thing. They were just at the distance

670
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:22.000
<v Speaker 2>where he guess maybe forty feet because it's still not

671
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 2>full on. It's daylight, but their impartial covered canopies, it's dark.

672
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>He said. This thing stood up. They're looking up at it.

673
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>It let out this god awful scream and took off running.

674
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:36.960
<v Speaker 2>All this happens real fast. He shoots it, pops up,

675
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:39.599
<v Speaker 2>gives this god awful scream. They're startled by it. This

676
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.760
<v Speaker 2>thing takes off, it starts making that weird whooping sound again.

677
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.480
<v Speaker 2>They're befuddled. They look at each other. They said, let's

678
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>get back inside. They retreat back into the cabin. That's

679
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>when the conversation of getting out of their starts. So

680
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.760
<v Speaker 2>it's approximately five going on six at this time. Because

681
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.440
<v Speaker 2>they weren't keeping track of time, they were just dealing

682
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:01.159
<v Speaker 2>with the shit. Marcus confides to Davey that he doesn't

683
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 2>feel they have enough anything a gun or otherwise to

684
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.679
<v Speaker 2>deal with this thing. Even though the forty five seventy

685
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>was a very large caliber, big ol'd lipstick grounds, big old, long,

686
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 2>heavy bullet, he didn't feel confident with it just by

687
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>the sheer size. He said. It had to have been

688
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>every bit between ten to twelve feet tall at least.

689
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.239
<v Speaker 2>This is a rough estimation, at forty feet massive, just massive,

690
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.000
<v Speaker 2>because all they basically got out of it was silhouette.

691
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Scream startled them, it took off. They're back in the

692
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 2>cabin discussing this. Davies, I want to know a part

693
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.400
<v Speaker 2>of this shit. I love Alaska. Alaska's beautiful buff Let's go.

694
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Marcus can't argue that he wanted to know part of

695
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it either, because just it was obvious something was off

696
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:52.639
<v Speaker 2>with the whole situation. It wasn't curious. It was actively

697
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:56.880
<v Speaker 2>stalking them. It was actively doing things to lure them out,

698
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 2>what have you. Even though it was just Davy at

699
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that point, it was still ill, actively trying to get

700
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.000
<v Speaker 2>him outside. I asked, I was like, do you think

701
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it was curious trying to be friendly? Davy said no.

702
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 2>He said it felt more like a bully calling out

703
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 2>a kid to the school yard. He's like, yeah, come

704
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.760
<v Speaker 2>out to recess. I got you, come on out. That

705
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 2>was the feeling he got. That was his analogy, not mine.

706
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.920
<v Speaker 2>A bully at recess. I was like, Okay, in my

707
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:26.800
<v Speaker 2>mind's I'm thinking territorial kind of thing. Especially if the

708
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:28.920
<v Speaker 2>cabin hadn't been used in a long time, it totally

709
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 2>makes sense what they end up doing.

710
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Is.

711
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.159
<v Speaker 2>They sit there quiet for a while. They want to

712
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.119
<v Speaker 2>observe see if this thing is going to come back.

713
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 2>From what Marcus said, after a couple hours of watching,

714
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the energy felt lighter. It felt a lot lighter, and

715
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.880
<v Speaker 2>it didn't feel as ominous. They ventured outside. Little by little,

716
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Davy smokes. Davy stepped outside, was sitting on the bottom step,

717
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 2>ar on his lap, smoking a cigarette. Any kind of noise,

718
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:57.239
<v Speaker 2>they said. The bird noises started again, even birds chirping.

719
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Davy was on point, was grabbing at his rifle times,

720
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:02.840
<v Speaker 2>just shaking his head because Marcus is standing in the

721
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 2>doorway watching him, looking around at the same time. Finally,

722
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 2>after a few minutes of that, Davy smoked like three

723
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:11.599
<v Speaker 2>cigarettes in a row. Marcus says, hey, but let's gather

724
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.239
<v Speaker 2>up our stuff, Let's cut our losses. Let's just slowly

725
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.599
<v Speaker 2>drift back down the river. We can fish on the way.

726
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's just get the hell out of this area. Yeah,

727
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.719
<v Speaker 2>let's do that. They take turns. One was keeping guard

728
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.280
<v Speaker 2>while the other was helping move stuff back to the skiff,

729
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 2>getting all their stuff out of there. At the same time,

730
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.440
<v Speaker 2>when they went in to get their stuff together, all

731
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the extra mags all the extra ammo all that stuff.

732
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>They turn their fishing vests into tactical vests with extra

733
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker 2>mags in it, extra ammo, loose ammo in the pouches.

734
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 2>They both did that because they had those little breast

735
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of holders for fly fishing where you could just

736
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:50.760
<v Speaker 2>open a compartment and got different flies to pick from.

737
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Similar to that, they just made do mcguibrid that shit

738
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.400
<v Speaker 2>into a tactical vest for holding extra mags. They start

739
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.760
<v Speaker 2>moving the stuff. They couldn't quite get it all in

740
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:04.280
<v Speaker 2>one trip. They tried the first trip. They were both

741
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.280
<v Speaker 2>loaded down. But still, these are military guys. They were

742
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.880
<v Speaker 2>used to eighty plus pound rucksacks hiking from miles. They

743
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 2>were well ready for packing a bunch of shit. From

744
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:15.280
<v Speaker 2>what they said, awkward because a couple of them were

745
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>double bags backpack this kind of stuff. They stuffed a

746
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>couple handfuls of MRIs into one of the backpacks. They

747
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.119
<v Speaker 2>had a tote that was completely full of MRIs. They

748
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:29.639
<v Speaker 2>left that there. They get to the last they just

749
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 2>had one more thing or two more things to grab

750
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 2>from inside the cab. Davy's watched my six, I'll grab

751
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.760
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. They were always on point. One would be

752
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.280
<v Speaker 2>focusing on the surroundings as the other one was loading

753
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:42.000
<v Speaker 2>up the skiff, because they don't know what this thing

754
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:43.920
<v Speaker 2>is really trying to do at this point. So far,

755
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just been real weird shit happening. It's runoff each time.

756
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.840
<v Speaker 2>When they get back up, Davy goes into the cab

757
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and Marcus was leaning down getting a low looking underneath

758
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:57.599
<v Speaker 2>the tree line because the way the spruit s bouse hanging,

759
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.239
<v Speaker 2>if you get low enough you can see that. In

760
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a little further he saw two legs and moving to

761
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.519
<v Speaker 2>his left, going towards like the back side of the cabin.

762
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 2>He yells, hey, I got movement. I got movement. Davy

763
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>is immediately out. He has the other items, He's got

764
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:16.039
<v Speaker 2>his ar. He comes out, gets off the steps, turns

765
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.559
<v Speaker 2>around his walking backwards, checking his back trail to make

766
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 2>sure he's not going to trip. He's keeping an eye.

767
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:24.960
<v Speaker 2>When Davy gets back to him, he touches his back.

768
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:27.840
<v Speaker 2>He knows he's behind him. He steps off to the side,

769
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.320
<v Speaker 2>lets Davy continue back because he has a heavier rifle.

770
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Marcus is facing directly at the cabin. He said, this

771
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 2>thing came out off to the left, which was really

772
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.519
<v Speaker 2>obscured hard to see it, but he could see it

773
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:42.679
<v Speaker 2>leaning out, just getting a view of it. Because it

774
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.320
<v Speaker 2>was big, he could pick it out easily above the

775
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:49.760
<v Speaker 2>brush stuff and it went back. He's staying on point.

776
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>He's waiting for Davy to get stuff loaded before it

777
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:55.360
<v Speaker 2>poked out. He told Davy to fire up the engine.

778
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:58.719
<v Speaker 2>He hears outboard fire up, but he starts backing up slowly.

779
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.960
<v Speaker 2>He reaches a dog la point of the trail, stands

780
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:03.760
<v Speaker 2>there a moment. He doesn't want to turn his back.

781
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Something I's telling him, don't turn your back. He has

782
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.719
<v Speaker 2>to step to his left to continue down off this

783
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:12.039
<v Speaker 2>dog leg path. At the apex of the dog leg

784
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:15.559
<v Speaker 2>is where it starts going down downgrading towards the river

785
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 2>into the thicker brush where they had to hack it

786
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:20.280
<v Speaker 2>back to get the skiff in there. It wasn't far.

787
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Maybe thirty five feet from off to his left is

788
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.119
<v Speaker 2>where Davy's got the outboard now running, saying up, we're good,

789
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.559
<v Speaker 2>is warming up. He takes a step to his left.

790
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Just as he steps to his left, scream happens directly

791
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.519
<v Speaker 2>at his three o'clock. He said, this scream, he said,

792
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:40.360
<v Speaker 2>was powerful. It startled him because his focus was at

793
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the cabin. All of a sudden, this scream comes. He said.

794
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 2>It was about twenty five feet away. There was a

795
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.840
<v Speaker 2>smaller one down on all fours looking at him, doing

796
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>that word spider kind of crawl. It freaked him out.

797
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:57.119
<v Speaker 2>He said. The back legs were moving like this along

798
00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.360
<v Speaker 2>with the front ones, but it was like a back

799
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.360
<v Speaker 2>one in the front one, back one in the front one.

800
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But he said, immediately he turned, put a beat on

801
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.039
<v Speaker 2>this thing, popped a shot at it. He said he

802
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't sure if he hit it or not because he

803
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.880
<v Speaker 2>was just making basically noise, but he was attempting to

804
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.199
<v Speaker 2>hit it. Wasn't sure if he did because as soon

805
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:17.800
<v Speaker 2>as he fired, this thing took off. It went away

806
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 2>off to his left, was making a weird noise. All

807
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:23.000
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden heard thrashing coming from behind the cabin.

808
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 2>He turned his attention to getting closer to down where

809
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Davy was. He said, he got maybe three steps, was

810
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 2>knocked forward by basically eight foot black spruce tree, knocked

811
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:36.760
<v Speaker 2>him down to the ground, knocked the wind out of him.

812
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.199
<v Speaker 2>That's when Davey opened fire backed this thing off. Because

813
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.840
<v Speaker 2>from what Davy said, when Marcus got hit by that

814
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 2>black spruce tree got knocked to the ground when he

815
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:49.639
<v Speaker 2>looked up because it was confusing seeing the tree hit

816
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.039
<v Speaker 2>his friend. His friend go down. Once the obstacle of

817
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.840
<v Speaker 2>his view being Marcus in the tree got out of sight.

818
00:41:56.920 --> 00:42:00.400
<v Speaker 2>He saw this thing behind coming, he said. The way

819
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 2>it walked was very weird, almost like an Old West

820
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.880
<v Speaker 2>movie when the guy's walking with swagger, like real cocky

821
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:10.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. Davy said, he just started putting rounds

822
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.639
<v Speaker 2>on it. He said, the first ten rounds. He's guessing

823
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 2>this thing was just like it was getting buzzed by

824
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:20.480
<v Speaker 2>bees or something. They turned around, ran off. Marcus is

825
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:22.800
<v Speaker 2>getting up at this time, is turning around looking He's

826
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out what just knocked him down. Catching

827
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:28.199
<v Speaker 2>his breath, Marcus said, he untied the boat, put the

828
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 2>rifle end of the bow pushed off. As Davy made

829
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.559
<v Speaker 2>his way to the back. Davy fired, puts it in reverse,

830
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.679
<v Speaker 2>backs up. Now. Davy only ran the skip a couple times,

831
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.039
<v Speaker 2>wasn't proficient. Knew the general operation, but wasn't proficients. When

832
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.800
<v Speaker 2>they were coming out onto the Nushigak River, Davy was

833
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:49.559
<v Speaker 2>still focused back freaked out. He grounded out a little

834
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:53.079
<v Speaker 2>bit on this little gravel bar, which, as Marcus put it,

835
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.159
<v Speaker 2>they bang into it. They both lurched forward. They immediately

836
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:59.199
<v Speaker 2>crecked themselves. They're yelling at each other, watch what you're doing,

837
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.280
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff, high stress. They immediately calmed down

838
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.719
<v Speaker 2>because they recognize they were getting really worked up. Marcus

839
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:09.840
<v Speaker 2>jumps out, pushes him back out. They switch positions. Now.

840
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:14.320
<v Speaker 2>They were only at this spot briefly and just long

841
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 2>enough to share a couple choice words with each other.

842
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Check themselves. Marcus jumped out, pushed off, He took over

843
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.559
<v Speaker 2>running the skiff. He had to back up a little

844
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:28.800
<v Speaker 2>ways into the deeper channel. He hears Davy open up,

845
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:32.880
<v Speaker 2>just dumping rounds. He's immediately looking checking direction of fire.

846
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.840
<v Speaker 2>As they're facing down the Newshigek River just in the

847
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:40.360
<v Speaker 2>brush line. The big one as they called it, was

848
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.280
<v Speaker 2>just squatted down. Given this look, Davy at that point

849
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:45.440
<v Speaker 2>said he was going to shoot one of these things,

850
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:48.199
<v Speaker 2>regardless if they were throwing shit or not. They've already

851
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:51.760
<v Speaker 2>showed enough aggression that Davy figured it's on site. He's

852
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:55.239
<v Speaker 2>dumping rounds. Marcus just opens it up, gets him on step.

853
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Now when Davey starts shooting. Davy said this thing backed

854
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.480
<v Speaker 2>up a little ways as Mark getting the skiff up

855
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:04.960
<v Speaker 2>on the step heading down river, that's when the rocks

856
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>started throwing in. He wasn't sure where they initially started

857
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:11.480
<v Speaker 2>coming from, but after they got up on step, they

858
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:14.639
<v Speaker 2>got hit a couple times in the skiff with these rocks.

859
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:18.159
<v Speaker 2>He said, they ranged from baseball sized to about softball size.

860
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They were just getting winged in. A couple of them

861
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>dented the skiff, but Davy kept shooting just to shoot.

862
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.599
<v Speaker 2>They were just seeing the rocks coming in. They weren't

863
00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:30.599
<v Speaker 2>seeing these figures in the trees. He said that for

864
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.159
<v Speaker 2>a good two miles full on step, they could hear

865
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.280
<v Speaker 2>thrashing in the trees. Periodically rocks would become raining in.

866
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.679
<v Speaker 2>He said they would always rain in at about three

867
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:43.800
<v Speaker 2>or four for two miles going down the river. He

868
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.360
<v Speaker 2>said these things were making god awful noises. They sounded

869
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 2>like goblins, like demons whoops at times.

870
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea, we'll

871
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>be right back after these messages.

872
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Just a whole plethora of sounds they were making. At times,

873
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:07.239
<v Speaker 2>they heard the weird gibbers sounds really loud he said.

874
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Once all that stopped, he said, it took at least

875
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:16.599
<v Speaker 2>go ten miles down river for them to like fully

876
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.440
<v Speaker 2>calm down. They were both shaken like leaves. Once they

877
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.039
<v Speaker 2>got north of Koalignick they had stopped. They had to

878
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:25.280
<v Speaker 2>calm down because he was shaken, as it was hard

879
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:28.079
<v Speaker 2>for him to keep controlling the boat. That's how worked

880
00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 2>up he was. He said, his whole body was trembling hard.

881
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:35.000
<v Speaker 2>He slowed down. They found an wide open area. They stopped.

882
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:36.960
<v Speaker 2>They dropped the anchor for a minute, he said, he

883
00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:39.599
<v Speaker 2>left the motor running. He was paranoid. They hadn't heard

884
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:43.159
<v Speaker 2>nuting or had any rocks for miles. They felt relatively safe.

885
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:47.000
<v Speaker 2>They heard songbirds. They calmed down. Davy must have smoked

886
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a whole pack of cigarettes, sitting there, asking what did

887
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.599
<v Speaker 2>we do? What caused this? They were just trying to

888
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:55.599
<v Speaker 2>talk it out. Finally, after they calmed down, they get

889
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.079
<v Speaker 2>out of there. They grabbed more fuel in Kalignik. They

890
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.239
<v Speaker 2>were both real quiet. They didn't talk a lot to

891
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the locals. The one guy that was running the take

892
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.960
<v Speaker 2>farm actually was the one that had guided him when

893
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.039
<v Speaker 2>he came to help grab the empty gas cans to

894
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.000
<v Speaker 2>refill him. He was on a four wheeler with the

895
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:11.960
<v Speaker 2>little trailer, and he asked him. He goes, hey, guys,

896
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.000
<v Speaker 2>look a little pale. You know what happened? I thought

897
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you guys were going to be up there for a

898
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:18.159
<v Speaker 2>while with all your provisions. They both told him we

899
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.280
<v Speaker 2>had beare issues. Left it at that with the guy

900
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in Klignik. The guy in Klignick was like, yeah, we

901
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.119
<v Speaker 2>got big bears. Just went along with the baar thing.

902
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know any different at the time. I'm sure

903
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 2>they're well aware of the harry Man there. They grab fuel,

904
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:33.000
<v Speaker 2>they make it back to Dillingham. They share with Marcus's

905
00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.599
<v Speaker 2>friend exactly what happened, because they had to count for

906
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.840
<v Speaker 2>these dings in the boat. His friend was just blown away,

907
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:41.760
<v Speaker 2>like wow, he had no reason. These guys aren't liars

908
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:44.679
<v Speaker 2>to each other. They shared you know, lost blood in

909
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the military, you know what I mean. They trusted what

910
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:49.880
<v Speaker 2>each other was telling him. He was just like, wow,

911
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.239
<v Speaker 2>that's basically the gist of what happened with them. I

912
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:56.960
<v Speaker 2>really want to thank Marcus for his effort. Marcus was

913
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.519
<v Speaker 2>led to me via an interview I did somewhere else

914
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.519
<v Speaker 2>last year. It took him roughly almost six months before.

915
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.840
<v Speaker 2>He initially reached out then ghosted me when I reached

916
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:11.679
<v Speaker 2>back out to him, but he was moving lost track

917
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.760
<v Speaker 2>of my contact and no big deal. But he got

918
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.880
<v Speaker 2>back a hold of me. We talked every few weeks,

919
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:20.840
<v Speaker 2>just a little bits because he was basically feeling me

920
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.039
<v Speaker 2>out and watching some of my videos and stuff. But

921
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:26.199
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate him coming forward to share. When I talked

922
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:30.239
<v Speaker 2>to Davy, he reiterated, he goes, I love Alaska, It's beautiful,

923
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.119
<v Speaker 2>but fuck that place fair enough, especially with what they

924
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:38.400
<v Speaker 2>dealt with. Can you imagine being woken up to something

925
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:42.599
<v Speaker 2>outside the window a couple of feet away, motioning you outside,

926
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:44.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll catch you on the next one.

927
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:55.639
<v Speaker 3>They say, you don't have a go, but you can't stay.

928
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:17.599
