WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.000 Now one of your pudding. I got a string going 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120 on here, something just cause my dog. Something killed your dog, 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960 my dog. We're flying through the air over the tree. 4 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640 I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm 5 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120 really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over 6 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800 the fence and he was dead. And once you hit 7 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679 the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I 8 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.320 saw was my dog coming over the fence. Sat what 9 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960 are you putting? We got some wonder or something crawling 10 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.920 around out here? Did you see what it was? 11 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.240 Or was it was? 12 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.719 Standing enough? I'm out here looking through the window now 13 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.479 and I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside. 14 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:04.799 Jesus Quice, you better New York. Hello, get somebody out here. 15 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.799 What quin on out there? I thought of a bit 16 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.719 is about ticking for nine? I don't know. Easy him 17 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.599 out there. Yeah, I'm walking right heady. 18 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.560 Oh hey, greetings spread Alaska. Thanks for joining me today. 19 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.519 A little breezy out partly to mostly shitty. To be 20 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.920 honest with you, it is what it is. It's Alaska. 21 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.000 A lot of background stuff going on as far as 22 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.079 gathering information talking to people. What I want to share 23 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.680 with you today comes from Craig and Marcy. This happened 24 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.599 approximately seven years ago. It was the first time they're 25 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.400 taking their twelve year old son, Daniel, on that distance 26 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.400 of an excursion outside of just local campground or something 27 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.040 like that. So this piece of property they're going to, 28 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.959 this cabin belonged to a Craig's uncle and dad before 29 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.079 his dad passed. Since his dad passed is primarily his uncles. 30 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.680 His uncle was there quite often did quite a bit there. 31 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.079 Craig had arranged it to spend about a week out there, 32 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.719 five days to a week depending And so what they 33 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.319 would do is they leave their six wheeler, which is 34 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.400 just like a four wheeler like this, but has a 35 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.319 dump bed and another set of tires. Really good traction 36 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.000 six hundred sec. But anyway, they leave it at their 37 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.680 friend's house. From what Craig says, they jump on the wheeler, 38 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.879 they load up their stuff. They got to go through 39 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.639 a small neighborhood and then they hit this one access 40 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.960 road that goes to a particular well known lake. They 41 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.000 go along that access road and then they take off 42 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.400 from there and it's a few miles out into the 43 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.560 Boonies to get to this cabin they leave. They get 44 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.840 off the main roads and stuff. They're about a couple 45 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.080 miles into it. As they were getting ready to drop 46 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.879 down this one particular hill because at the bottom of 47 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.280 the hill opens up to a bunch of muskeke stuff 48 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.240 that they had to get through to get across to 49 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.879 the other tree line and then onto the cabin, which 50 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.319 was a few more miles after that. There was a 51 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.599 couple guys that were coming out and so being courteous, 52 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.759 he saw him coming up the hill. 53 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.280 I heard him coming up the hill, so stop. 54 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.360 Pulled off the trail so they had room to come 55 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.120 on by because they needed momentum speed coming up. As 56 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.120 soon as they got to the top, they stopped. Tell Craig, 57 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.919 They're like, hey, just be aware. There's some strange dude 58 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.520 out there. We saw earlier this morning. It was up 59 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.159 on the opposite side of the muskeg there. We tried 60 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.479 to holler at him, but he just turned away and 61 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:13.759 walked off in his fur coat. 62 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.400 Don't know what's up with that guy. You just be aware. 63 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.919 You got your kid with you, your wife, and just 64 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.759 be aware. Craigs, Yeah, we'll move. Be aware. 65 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.840 Thanks for the heads up, and the guys you know, 66 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.159 said hey have a good day whatever, and they continue 67 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.400 on their way. They dropped to the bottom and once 68 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.520 they get into the it's not open muskeg, but damn 69 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.000 near and it's huge, just big egg shape open area 70 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.759 about midpoint. So there's a little bit of a firmer 71 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.520 land that comes out onto this swampy area, this particular 72 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.759 first section. Craig was saying that they had to ride 73 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.639 the tree line around to get over to that other spot, 74 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.400 because trying to go through it was just forget about it. 75 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.960 It was just too trenched out and it just begging 76 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.280 to get stuck. So they go around and they're skirting 77 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.479 the tree line, and they make it around and they're 78 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.000 basically at the midway point they start into the second section. 79 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.840 It's even a longer way around if he was to 80 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.840 ride the tree line, and because of how nasty and 81 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.599 gnarly it was, he walked around back and forth trying 82 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.360 to find a good place, but it was just all 83 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.920 too much and he didn't want to risk swamping out, 84 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.120 having his son and wife stuck out in the swampyage 85 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.560 and all that kind of shit, so he opted to 86 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.800 take that long way around, which in essence tripled the 87 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.720 distance that it would have tooken if he could have 88 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.879 just shot straight across. So about three quarters of the 89 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.279 way through that part of it, off to the side 90 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.720 of the right, he said, it was just this hill. 91 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.680 This berm went up about maybe fifty feet tops at 92 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:41.639 a pretty steep. 93 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.519 Angle, bunch of trees on it and whatnot. 94 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.040 As they were coming around, he hears his son say, hey, Dad, 95 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.199 there's that man. There's that man with the fur coat. 96 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.639 He stops what he's doing. He's trying to look up 97 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.519 and see what his son's talking about. He can't see. 98 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.160 He let's go to the handlebars and gets off a 99 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.319 little ways. He's trying to look where his son's pointing, 100 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.160 and when he sees what his son is it's basically 101 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.839 is just going out of you. So he yells up there, hey, 102 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.680 we're down here. I hope you're having a good day, 103 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.040 just pleasantry stuff. But there was no response, so they 104 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.560 said screw this and they continue on. Now he had 105 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.480 a shotgun on his gun rack, his wife had a 106 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.360 three fifty seven in a holster. Craig also had a 107 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.040 forty caliber Semato and a little shoulder holster rig and 108 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:27.240 so there was nothing tangible as a threat. So this 109 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.680 continued on their way some weirdo and was that he 110 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.279 doesn't one answer, that's fine, just as long as he 111 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.480 isn't doing anything crazy, he won't have to shoot them. 112 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.879 They continue on, they get to the park where it's 113 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.279 back up. 114 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.879 Into the hard terrain. They're kicking along. 115 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.040 In this particular stretch he was saying that weaves back 116 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.639 and forth in these real slow swooping turns. 117 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.160 There's so many tree roots. 118 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.759 It's slow going because this is bem you're just constantly 119 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.079 just banging around. So it was slow going, and where 120 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.560 he could he would cut through and where other people 121 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.639 had obviously, so as they were about halfway through this section, 122 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.199 eventually it's going to open up into another smaller not 123 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.439 quite a muskeg, but open tundrip area. 124 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:07.399 And then once they. 125 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.759 Crossed there, there's a branch that cuts off to the cabin. 126 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.959 Just before they were out of this section of the woods, 127 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.240 his son again said, hey, there's that man in the 128 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:16.720 fur coat. 129 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.680 So immediately Craig's had it. He's like, what the hell 130 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.279 is this dude? 131 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.040 Because he wasn't going fast, so obviously anyone could have 132 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.079 kept up if they wanted to, so it wasn't like 133 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.920 they were out running it and it was something od 134 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.000 or anything. So he puts it in part. He gets 135 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.279 off and he's looking where the sun's plating and a son. 136 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:34.959 Points through the trees. 137 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.519 It was just the right angle to cut through all 138 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.519 these trees and he sees this figure way off in 139 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.279 the distance. Now it wasn't close at all. His son 140 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.120 had a good eye picked it out. He said it 141 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.720 was at least one hundred and twenty five yards just 142 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.839 so lined up perfectly that he could see this thing. 143 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.560 But it was just head and shoulders and it was 144 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:55.600 silhouetted right. 145 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.399 And so Craig just waves like this, you know, yells 146 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.920 out a couple times, and he gets a simple kind 147 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.879 of half hearted hand up, turn and gone. So he goes, okay, 148 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.439 he acknowledged us. He gave a wave because the son 149 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.920 was commenting. Daniel was like Daddy waved. He waved, okay. 150 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.319 So they continued on. Nothing of it weird all over there. 151 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.680 But as he's going along and they're coming to this 152 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.079 section where it opens up. They got across this section, 153 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.959 which is a lot harder for mour terrain. Once they 154 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.720 hit that branch across there, they can cut over the 155 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.600 cabin about a mile from there. As he gets down there, 156 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.079 it starts dawning on him, the distance this thing was, 157 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.279 this person was, and how freaking tall it was right 158 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.160 because it was. It all started as they were going along, 159 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.120 just started adding up. Wait a minute, why is this thing? 160 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.120 That thing had to be huge. And so he stops 161 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.240 in the open area and he's asking a son, Hey, 162 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.360 have you been seeing that thing the whole time? And 163 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.279 the son was like, not the whole time, just here 164 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.839 and there, I'd see it behind us. That gave Craig 165 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.680 the creeps And Marcy's what the hell, and he goes, 166 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.000 let's just get to the cabin, cross that open area, 167 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:02.959 and then they hit the little split to where they 168 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.560 got to take it off to the cabin where his 169 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.480 uncle's cabin is. Well, when they're pulling onto the property, 170 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.959 the trail cuts off to the left real hard and 171 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.959 it wraps around like a big tear drop around the 172 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.879 cabin right, And it's meant that way for snow machine whatever, 173 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.160 if forre easier to pull around front unload all that 174 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.040 kind of stuff. He pulls around, starts getting everything unloaded. 175 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.199 Marcy and Daniel are inside. They're doing their thing, getting 176 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.559 everything unloaded. Craig grabs his shotgun and he's walking the 177 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.759 back trail, just walking back. It ain't sitting with them, right, 178 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.080 this figure off in the distance and it continuing to. 179 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.799 Follow them, right. 180 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.360 So he walks back, maybe about a half mile, and 181 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.360 he let Marcy know he was going to go for 182 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.679 a walk, and he told her to be aware. And 183 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.440 as he gets about a half mile away or so, 184 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.440 he hears a sharp whistle off to his left, takes 185 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.320 a look over to his left, sees nothing. I was like, man, 186 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.120 that was a real sharp piercing whistle. 187 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:58.000 That's odd. 188 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.639 Yells out, hey, hello, no answer, no nothing, And then 189 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.879 off to his right he hears this crash, kind of 190 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.639 crashing through the brush kind of sound, and so he 191 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.279 turns and he raises his shotgun and he's I'll shoot you. 192 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.879 I'll shoot you, because he said it didn't sound like 193 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.559 a moose. They sounded to buy pedal the sound, and so, 194 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.960 not seeing anything or hearing anything further. 195 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.120 He was like, screw it. Now, I'm going to get 196 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:19.799 out of here, y'all. 197 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.159 So he turns around and starts walking back, and every 198 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.440 once in a while he'd look over his shoulder and. 199 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.600 Everything like that. Nothing else, no other weird sounds or anything. 200 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.759 He gets back to the cabin, tells Marcy about the 201 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.519 sharp whistle and the sound, and she goes, we'll just 202 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.080 wall stay close together and hopefully this guy doesn't pose 203 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.919 a threat to us. Yeah, I don't want you to 204 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.399 have to shoot some strange guy in the woods, and Craigs, 205 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.879 I don't either, That's the last thing I want. And 206 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:47.000 so they're going over their options. Marcy decides that because 207 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.480 Daniel's wound up, he's excited they're out in the woods. 208 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.000 He wants to be out in it. 209 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.960 So Marcy's with them right there on the side of 210 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.159 the cabin while Craig's finishing up some stuff inside. From 211 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.159 what Craig was explaining from on either side of the cab, 212 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.360 it's a good sixty seventy feet of clearance all the 213 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.519 way around this thing for fire reasons. Right, there's no 214 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.279 shrubs left, it's cut down all the way around. There's 215 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.200 no trees here or there, none of that. So when 216 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.600 you're standing on the steps of this cabin looking out, 217 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.720 just down below is a small pond, not quite big 218 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.200 enough to be a lake. Just down this little drop 219 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.120 mountains off through the brush just off over here to 220 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.200 the right a little bit. But there's a fire pit 221 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.600 about midway between the cabin and the tree line, and 222 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.039 it's a good sized fire pit with a couple benches 223 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.679 by it for entertaining or just sitting out by the fire, 224 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.440 and then the rest is just clear cut around. So 225 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.879 Daniel and Marcy were playing on the side. If you're 226 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.799 facing the cabin, it would be to the left side 227 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.360 they're playing. And Daniel found this little strip of leather 228 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.639 and had three jingle bells on it, and he was 229 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.360 just laying just jiggling around. 230 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:53.399 It was annoying as hell. 231 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.120 Craig tolerated for all of five minutes and finally went out, hey, 232 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.159 bell's got to go. 233 00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.759 Daniel's like, where do you want me to put? 234 00:10:59.840 --> 00:10:59.879 You? 235 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.200 Throw it in the woods. So Daniel slings it off 236 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.639 into the brush, thought nothing more of it. 237 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.840 He continues doing whatever I want to play kick the 238 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.840 can with Marcia, and Marcia's we're not playing hide and 239 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.639 seek nothing around here right now, not until there's weird 240 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.000 stuff going on with strangers. 241 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.360 We're not going to be hiding from each other, not 242 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:17.879 right now. 243 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.720 And so they shut that down and decided they're going 244 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.440 to go in and have a real late lunch. 245 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.840 So they're inside. So the layout of this place when 246 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.559 you go in the door, immediately to your right is 247 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.279 an old blaze kingwood stove window next to that which 248 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.440 was like a big four foot square salvage from somewhere another. 249 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.960 And then once you step inside. 250 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.080 The door, there's like three foot by four foot almost 251 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.240 same as the one opposite, almost mirroring each other. Each 252 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.279 set of windows had blackout curtains on the inside and 253 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:51.080 then drapes right Atlanta the midnight sun. And then right 254 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.440 beside that is a small table, a counter. There's a 255 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.159 counter on the opposite side, and then a bunk in 256 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.440 the back. There's a comp post toilet back over in 257 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.440 the corner with one of those little accordion blind things 258 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.279 you can move around it or whatever for privacy, which 259 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.759 was for use in the dead winner or the middle 260 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.919 of the night bear you're stuck inside because of bear 261 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.639 or whatever. So they're in there, they're eating their lunch. 262 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.480 As they're wrapping up lunch, about an hour had passed 263 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.519 since they were outside, right, everyone faintly hears this jingle. 264 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.080 They're like, what the hell. 265 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.679 Craig immediately jumps up grabs that shotgun and goes outside 266 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.720 and figure it's that guy. 267 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:30.960 So he goes outside. 268 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.879 He's looking around, doesn't see nothing, and he hears the jingling. 269 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.679 So he moved and he saw the jingle bells. He 270 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.679 assum went Daniel threw it and landed on this tree. 271 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.399 A little bit of movement made it jingle. No one's there, 272 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.519 he didn't see anything. He didn't feel watched or anything. 273 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.279 So it was like, oh okay, so he was able 274 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.759 to dismiss it. He was able to explain it away. 275 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.679 In his mind, everything was all good. He goes back inside, 276 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.960 so everything's calming down, and so they decide they're going 277 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.759 to go out. 278 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.440 Craig's going to start the ball on fire. 279 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.159 Everyone's getting mosquito dope on and stuff like that because 280 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.440 the mosquitos are pretty thick. 281 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.240 It was about to be getting a june from what 282 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:06.840 he was saying. 283 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.399 So as he's out there, he's tending the fire, he's 284 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.519 getting it going good. He's just looking for any trash 285 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.279 round to throwing there and burn. And as he's doing that, 286 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.000 he hears the jingle bells again. He goes, you know what, 287 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.000 that's going to drive me crazy. I'm gonna grab a 288 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.159 stick and go knock it out of the brush, just 289 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.919 so it's on the ground. I'll stomp it down to 290 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.639 where the bells don't make noise anymore. 291 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:30.840 Screw that. I don't want that thing messing with me 292 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.600 while I'm sleeping. 293 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.240 So he finds his stick, his shotguns inside the cabin, 294 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.399 but he's got his forty caliber and his shoulder holster. 295 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:39.720 He walks over and he's holding his stick. 296 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.240 He found it was an old dip net poll that 297 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.080 didn't no longer have the dip net on it. So 298 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.840 he goes over and he's looking where he saw it 299 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.200 last and it's not there. And he's pushing against a 300 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.480 tree with the stick. Nothing, and he goes looking on 301 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.480 the ground and he doesn't see nothing. So he's like, oh, 302 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.639 I must have fell okay, out of side, out of mind. 303 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.759 Screw it. 304 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.799 Goes back over and at that point bringing the stuff 305 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.200 down to make smores. Right, And so while Marcy and 306 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.879 Daniel are making s'mores, Craig's just distracted. He keeps just 307 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.759 getting this weird feeling. And it's still daylight out, it 308 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.519 hasn't reached dusk yet, so he's pay attention to Marcy 309 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.200 will be right back. 310 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.960 He goes inside, grabs a shotgun. 311 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.960 He had some sable slugs and some regular one out slugs, 312 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.120 lead slugs and stuff, so we he did comebacks out 313 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.120 and eat. He loads up different slugs, had extra buckshot 314 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.799 and some other slugs in his pockets. 315 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.559 That made Marci go, what's going on? 316 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.200 And he goes, I just got a weird feeling, and 317 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.120 she goes, screw that. If you feel more in danger, 318 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.600 we don't need to be out here. We can make 319 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.759 these inside over a little stove or whatever. And he 320 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.440 was like, no, we should be okay, just because just 321 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.000 in case, and so Marcia reluctantly was like okay. So 322 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:49.919 her and Daniel are doing their best to hurry up 323 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.960 with the s'mores. Daniels, he's young, he's laughing, he's catching 324 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.559 his marshmallow on fire and shit like that, just having 325 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.279 a good time. The night carries on and Daniel's getting 326 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.559 a little tired, and so Marcy says, hey, I'm gonna 327 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.279 go put him to bed. Do you want me to 328 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.399 bring you out a cold beer? And Craig sure, yeah, 329 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.440 just bring out that small cooler. It has a couple 330 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.799 of each. Marcy had some wine coolers and he had 331 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.720 some cold beer in there, and. 332 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.840 Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. Well right 333 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.919 back after the East messages. 334 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.000 She comes back out with it. She sits down and 335 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.720 asks him, Hey, what's going on? Because I guess from 336 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.519 what Craig was saying wasn't present. He was focusing on 337 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.519 other stuff. As they're sitting there talking, he opens a 338 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.039 beer and she's enjoying one of her wine coolers. As 339 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.000 they're talking, way off in the distance, they both could 340 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.159 have swore they heard those jingle bells, just a couple 341 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.320 of jingles and that was it. 342 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.320 They're asking each other did you hear that? And they're 343 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.480 like yeah. 344 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.480 Immediately Craig's hair starts standing up on the back of 345 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.080 his neck. He goes, yeah, let's enjoy these inside. Let's 346 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.399 go inside. Let's enjoy this stuff inside. So they gather 347 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.159 up the little bit of stuff they had there and 348 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:57.120 they went inside. 349 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.360 They're in there for a little bit. 350 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.559 They're calming down from just letting their mind just dismiss 351 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.080 away the sound. Well, she had forgot the gram crackers 352 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.399 outside and so she was like, oh, crap, I don't 353 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.480 want that to attract the bear. 354 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.919 Can you go grab him. Craigs was like, sure, I'll 355 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.960 go grab him in just a second. 356 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.480 He finishes his beer, puts it in the garbage, and 357 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.639 he goes out and he looks around and he yells back, Hey, 358 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.639 where'd you leave him? And she said, they're right there 359 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.879 on the bench, like literally on the seat of the bench. 360 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.120 They weren't there. They're not here anymore. And he walks 361 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:28.120 back inside. Okay, well maybe she grabbed him. So they're 362 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.759 looking for him inside, can't find him again. All of 363 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.399 a sudden, Marcy and Craig both at the same time, 364 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.159 got the ebgb's basically right. 365 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:37.120 What the hell? 366 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.039 And they turn around in that big window there next 367 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.799 to the wood stove, they see this dark silhouette in it. 368 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.240 Craig instantly, Hey, pulls this pistol and he starts aiming it, 369 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:47.799 and then this thing is gone, moves out of the 370 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.840 way of the window, instantly reholsters it, puts a little 371 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.519 clip on the top of it so it doesn't slip 372 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.600 out or whatever, grabs a shotgun and goes out. Marcy's 373 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.320 telling him stay inside, stay inside. He wasn't listening. He 374 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.960 wasn't gonna have this now. He goes out there's nothing around, 375 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.160 couldn't see nothing, looks all around, looks up on the roof, 376 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.720 looks everywhere. It's not even dust cat right, And so 377 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.400 he goes back inside, shuts the door and there's They 378 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.920 have one of those boards you can slide in for 379 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.079 an extra block, so they puts that on that particular window. 380 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.079 He starts looking and he's wait a minute. 381 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.839 The bottom of the window starts about three feet from 382 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.519 the floor of the cabin. The floor of the cabin 383 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.319 is roughly four to five feet off the ground outside, 384 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.880 so you're talking almost seven foot to the sill of 385 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.119 this window, the lower sill. 386 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.079 This thing was taking up most of that window. 387 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.400 It makes it roughly twelve foot tall when it was 388 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.359 wide enough to over four foot. 389 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.799 Wide to block out the whole thing from side to side. Whatever. 390 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.880 This thing is massive, and she goes it's bigfoot. Now, 391 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.119 you got to understand when they turned in there, they 392 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.160 were startled. They first saw this thing, and then it 393 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.839 moved when he pulled the gun and he yelled, Daniel 394 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.519 started crying. 395 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.079 So through the mix of this, you gotta understand. 396 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.759 There's a distraught kid, Marcy trying to calm him down, 397 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.119 them trying to figure out what the hell's going on, right, 398 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.599 So it's a little chaotic, but not too overwhelming, but 399 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.000 just chaotic. They get everything calmed down and they dig 400 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.960 ot this portable DVD player for Daniel to distract him 401 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.839
