1
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It was an early spring Saturday morning in Vicksburg, Mississippi,

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>and I was living in the Pleasant Valley subdivision east

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of Highway sixty one south, roughly a mile from the

4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi River. They have since built two schools west of

5
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the location of my first incident. This part of the

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 1>state is mostly rolling hills hollows, and it's covered with

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>many trees plus greenery as far as the eye can see.

8
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I was looking forward to taking each child out for

9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 1>a go kart ride that day because it was spring

10
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>break for them. My two sons from my first marriage

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>had come to live with us last summer, and I

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>also have two step daughters that are also close to

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>them in their ages, plus a newborn son. My plan

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was to start out with my oldest son, since he

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 1>had missed out on a few years with me on

16
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 1>this day, Instead of just going down to the end

17
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>of the cul de sac like I would normally do

18
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>with them to the edge of the woods, where I

19
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>would spend a few donuts in the dirt and then

20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>let them drive back to the yard for the next driver,

21
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I decided to take my son out of the subdivision

22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a few hundred yards back down the main Road. I

23
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>had seen a gated path overgrown with weeds and shrubbery

24
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>leading into the thick forest, and I figured this would

25
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>be a nice place to check it out with him,

26
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>allowing us an extended ride together, and from there we

27
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>could drive all the way back. I headed out on

28
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to Dana Road, driving west along the gravel shoulder to

29
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>go around this locked gate, giving us access to this

30
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>closed road. I was swerving back and forth on the

31
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>narrow path, all the while enjoying watching the excitement in

32
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>my son's eyes as he was scanning the surrounding trees.

33
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>We were heading deeper into the dense forest, and after

34
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>several minutes, I could see a clearing up ahead which

35
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>looked like wide enough for me to do a donut,

36
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and this was where I could let him drive. As

37
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I performed a three sixty, the go cart stalled out,

38
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>as it would do sometimes when I would turn too fast,

39
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>causing the motor to flood. Once the sound of the

40
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>cart engine stopped, I noticed in airy, quiet stillness as

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the dust was settling in the slight breeze that was

42
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>blowing into our faces. I didn't think much about quietness

43
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>because we're all about a half mile southwest of my subdivision.

44
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 1>I got off the cart, instructing my son to take

45
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the driver's seat while I prepared to start the engine

46
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>back up and head home. The wind shifted and coming

47
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>at us from the south. Oh my god, this wind

48
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 1>is carrying an awful odor, funky wet dog smell that

49
00:02:51.879 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>is mixed with a hog pen scent. I'm sorry these smells,

50
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>just the description of these smells just gets me. The

51
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>wind shifted, coming at us from the south. Oh my god,

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>this wind is carrying an awful sour, funky wet dog

53
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>smell that is mixed with a hog pens scent you

54
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>will get on a humid summer day which will burn

55
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>your nostrils. Do you smell that? I asked? I asked

56
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>my son while turning to see if he was getting

57
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>into the driver's seat, But he was not moved, and

58
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>his eyes were transfixed on something in the general direction

59
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 1>of where the smell was coming from. He was looking

60
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>at the thick tree line where it was hard to

61
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>make out anything. Now shouted to him, do you smell that? Mess?

62
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I glanced in the direction of his gaze, but I

63
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>saw nothing, and he turned to me, and I can

64
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>see his eyes were glossed over, and he has a

65
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>look of fear, as if he has seen a ghost

66
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>or something. Yeah, I smell it, he said. Instantly, a

67
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 1>chill overtook my body, making every single strand of hair

68
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>stand on in I was feeling a real sense of dread.

69
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Now I don't know why. My heart started pounding uncontrollably fast,

70
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 1>as if it was trying to escape the cavity walls

71
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of my chest. There was immediate fear upon us, both,

72
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 1>with my concern being my son's safety. Yet my mind

73
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was racing, with many questions flashing through my head Within

74
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a millisecond. It was as if I was frozen in

75
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a state of temporary shock. Why the hell did I

76
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>bring him all the way back here in these damn woods,

77
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>is what I was asking myself. And what in the

78
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>world is causing this rotten smell? Are we in some

79
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>type of danger? Do we need to get out of

80
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>here now? My next thought was the same as my last,

81
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 1>and I quickly pulled the string on the go cart

82
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>so hard that I was surprised it didn't snap, but

83
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the engine luckily fired back to life. I jumped in

84
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the driver's seat without putting on my seat belt and

85
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I jerked the steering wheel in the direction from which

86
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>we had come. Before I knew it, I was throwing

87
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 1>dirt grass behind the brigs and Stratton engine was blowing smoke,

88
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>straining hard to move this cart. I never looked back.

89
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I was desperately hoping to see that yellow locked gate

90
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>come back into my view so we could go back

91
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>around it. I turned on to Pleasant Valley Drive and

92
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I pulled to the shoulder. I was still shaking, but

93
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 1>my adrenaline was starting to subside, allowing me to feel

94
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>a little safer by being back on the street near

95
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>the houses of my neighborhood. I took this time to

96
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>ask my son if he had seen anything, and his

97
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>reply was, Dad, there were big, dark, scary looking eyes

98
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>staring right at us from in the tree branches, but

99
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't see anything else but the eyes. I thought

100
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>something had moved when I first started smelling that, so

101
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to see what it was. But I

102
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>only saw those eyes, and they just disappeared while I

103
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 1>was looking at them. That's what scared me. My son

104
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 1>assured me that the eyes just vanished into the shadows

105
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>of the branches. I made sure he was calm, and

106
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>then had him promised me that he would not tell

107
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>my wife, nor his brother or sisters, because I knew

108
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I would not hear the end of it. I can't

109
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>honestly say what was in the trees because I didn't

110
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>really see anything. I did get a sense of imminent danger, though,

111
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>But my son, on the other hand, saw a set

112
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>of eyes, and I had no reason not to believe him.

113
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>The fear on his face was enough for me to

114
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>know that we needed to get out of the woods.

115
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>My second account was with an uncle, and it would

116
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 1>happen late in the summer of the same year. We

117
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>had decided to go pick berries. My uncle said they

118
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 1>probably still grew wild everywhere out there near this Soul

119
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>farm where we lived back in the sixties. I was

120
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 1>all excited to hear this, knowing that it had been

121
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>years since I set eyes on this place. The farm

122
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>is in Yokina, Mississippi, and it's not far from the

123
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Big Black River, the exact location where Campbell Swamp Road

124
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>runs into a dead end dirt road named Chirrard Drive.

125
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>We made our way out to the property, arriving at

126
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>nine am. It was deep in the backwoods of Warren County,

127
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 1>where there are neither street lights nor electricity lines. We

128
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>arrived and I had to stop at the locked gate

129
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 1>to look down on the property from the road which

130
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 1>dead ends at the bottom. The house was long gone,

131
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>but I could clearly see the old chimney still standing

132
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of what is now a small lake

133
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>formed by years of the Big Black River flooding. This

134
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 1>road has a drainage ditch, and that led to our

135
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>search in the area for muskydines. I could see from

136
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the car that this hollow was no more than fifty

137
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>yards away, and I was noticing how the foliage was

138
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 1>super thick, with these long vinees draped and tangled over

139
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the oaks, dogwoods, and magnolia trees. After the nostalgia of

140
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>admiring the beauty of my childhood's stomping grounds, we stepped

141
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>toward the shallow ditch. I heard rustling of leaves in

142
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the forest floor, crickets chirping, plus this faint sound of

143
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>a woodpecker knocking off in the distance. Once in the ditch,

144
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we saw a large cave dug deep into the ground

145
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of the embankment, and it caused me to pause. My

146
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 1>uncle was joking with me, telling me that it was

147
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>a big black bear's den, and he said, I hope

148
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 1>you brought a pistol with you, just in case we

149
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 1>come across one out here, and he laughed at me.

150
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Of course, I wasn't finding this to be funny at all,

151
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>but I did have a twenty five pistol in my pocket.

152
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Now I was scanning the ground for bear prince more

153
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>than I was looking for muskydines. My uncle was tickled pink,

154
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>seeing me a little scared, ask him to quit laughing

155
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>at me because he was laughing so loud it was

156
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>getting me out of my comfort zone. But it would

157
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>only be a few seconds later when he would become

158
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>just as afraid as I was. I took a few

159
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>more steps than there. It was some kind of huge

160
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>animal track in the semi damp ground. Hey, check this

161
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>track out, Look how big it is? And he stepped

162
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 1>over to see with his own eyes, because he obviously

163
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was thinking I was pulling his leg. I put my

164
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>size twelve shoe next to the track to do a comparison.

165
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>What the hell, he said, This ain't no damn bear boy.

166
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Look how wide across the toe that is. I don't

167
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 1>see any claw marks. Either, looks more like a barefoot

168
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 1>man track. But that's impossible for a man's foot to

169
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 1>be this big. Something ain't right here. This is no

170
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>swamp cat either. This can't be real. Yeah, he was scared. Now.

171
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Not ten seconds after his loud reaction to seeing this

172
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>weird track is when we both noticed the silence. There

173
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>were no sounds at all, and then suddenly we heard it.

174
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 1>I guess the best way to describe it was to

175
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>say a powerful, long roar. The sound resonated through my

176
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>whole body, echoing twice throughout the valley. The feeling I

177
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>got was similar to standing close to a train as

178
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a horn blows. Whatever made that noise seem to be

179
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>coming towards us. The vines in the trees were now

180
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 1>beginning to swing, and we could tell something was coming

181
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.639
<v Speaker 1>at us walking upright because these sounds of heavy footfalls

182
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>were hitting the ground, one powerful boom after another, and

183
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it was coming fast. I didn't have time to say

184
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>let's go. My uncle had already took the first frantic

185
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>step back to my car before I could even think

186
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>about it. By the time he reached the car, I

187
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>was there, unlocking the passenger side so he could get in.

188
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I started the car and put't gear and was trying

189
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to peel off, but the dirt had my car sliding

190
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>side to side in slow motion. And at the same

191
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>time I was looking over in the direction of a holler,

192
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 1>and there she was. Yes, I could see one of

193
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>her breasts. The beast was partially hidden behind a large tree,

194
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.039
<v Speaker 1>just standing there watching us, with her top lip rolled back,

195
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>and she was making a terrifyingly menacing frown, showing her large,

196
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>dirty horse teeth, which were flanked by long canines. I

197
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.519
<v Speaker 1>noticed her skin had a look of smoke gray in color,

198
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 1>at least the part I could see through the long, black,

199
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>stringy looking hair which was circled around her face. Large

200
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>fingers were visible as she gripped the tree. My head

201
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 1>was hurting because of seeing this mythical boogeyman that they

202
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 1>had been telling me about years ago when I was

203
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 1>a little boy. I had grown to believe that it

204
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.320
<v Speaker 1>was an old tailed just to make the kids scared

205
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>at night. Man, was I ever wrong. My tires caught traction,

206
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 1>although the car was already fishtailing before I realized. My

207
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 1>uncle was telling me to slow down. He didn't know

208
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 1>how I knew it was a female anyway, he said emphatically,

209
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>how did you know that? He then let me a

210
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>cigarette and told me to relax. I could tell him

211
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I saw. I started to settle down and

212
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was far enough from the area, and we began laughing

213
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 1>about the experience. We both chained smoked all the way

214
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>back to civilization, vowing to tell everyone what we went through.

215
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 1>This would be a big mistake and a waste of

216
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>our breaths. Our family members thought we had been getting stoned,

217
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and then made the whole story up. They laughed in

218
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>our faces. It was okay, though, because I don't think

219
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 1>I would have believed it either if I had not

220
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>seen it for myself. People can think these creatures aren't

221
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 1>real if they want to, but I know what I saw.

222
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I will never feel alone in the deep woods ever again.

223
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Needless to say, our Musky dyne hunt lasted no more

224
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 1>than five minutes total, and I have never been back

225
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>out that way again. To Yokina, Mississippi,
