Speaker 3: Andy, greetings, his fread and a lot of those good
Speaker 3: thanks for joining me what I wanted to share with
Speaker 3: you today. If you're an animal lover, you may not
Speaker 3: like this. Just be warned. And if you have kids
Speaker 3: that love animals, they may not want to hear it either.
Speaker 3: That being said, Jonah had a sled dog team that
Speaker 3: he ran when he was a kid over forty five
Speaker 3: years ago. He asked me to leave the village out
Speaker 3: of it, so just pick a spot on them. Happen.
Speaker 3: He was running supplies between two villages, a larger village
Speaker 3: in his home village, which was roughly one hundred people
Speaker 3: year round. He depended on his sled dog team. He
Speaker 3: incorporated six dogs. He would use his lead dog to
Speaker 3: train the other ones as they came up and so on.
Speaker 3: This particular lead dog he had he put in the
Speaker 3: lead because there was two younger ones directly behind this
Speaker 3: lead dog that he wanted to train up on the trail.
Speaker 3: Figured getting supplies, perfect time to have a bigger team,
Speaker 3: larger sled To get all the supplies on this particular trail,
Speaker 3: you got to understand some of Alaska's geography. You can
Speaker 3: easily be going across flat Muskeg and then be into
Speaker 3: some thick hills with thick timbers in no time. That's
Speaker 3: just how it is. This particular place didn't have a
Speaker 3: whole lot of trees, but it had a whole lot
Speaker 3: of brush, and when it snowed, it made trail riding
Speaker 3: and trail breaking, especially with a dog sled team, extremely difficult.
Speaker 3: A lot of his time for the first portion of
Speaker 3: his trip was spent breaking trail with dogs. He admitted
Speaker 3: it was a lot of hard work. Of course, he
Speaker 3: had a rifle for moose. That was about all the
Speaker 3: protection he had outside all those dogs as an early
Speaker 3: warning system the trail, he knew he was going to
Speaker 3: have a hard time with the heavier load coming back
Speaker 3: with supplies, he decided to go back and forth on
Speaker 3: it quite a few times. It being winter time, he
Speaker 3: knew his time when the light was going to be tricky,
Speaker 3: so he pre planned to stay the night at this
Speaker 3: other village where he got the supply so he had
Speaker 3: daylight to travel by the next day to get the
Speaker 3: supplies home. On his final trip back through from packing
Speaker 3: down this particular part of the trail, there's like a
Speaker 3: dog leg in the trail, and as he was going
Speaker 3: around it, all of a sudden he sees his tree
Speaker 3: just come down on the trail really hard. He said,
Speaker 3: he felt it in his feet, hurt it yet, and
Speaker 3: just dead silence, and the rest of the dogs were
Speaker 3: trying to pull away this thing. It hit the dog
Speaker 3: so hard it impacted its body into the snow and
Speaker 3: basically made a snow anchor while the other dogs are
Speaker 3: trying to back away. It happened just out of his sight,
Speaker 3: just as the dog broke that corner wet. It happened.
Speaker 3: He didn't know what the hell was going on at first.
Speaker 3: He has heard a really quick and in dead silence.
Speaker 3: The other dogs weren't making a noise. They were all
Speaker 3: wetting themselves and trying to back away. The lead dog
Speaker 3: is pinned in like an anchor, so they're trying to
Speaker 3: pull away but really can't. He grabs his moose rifle.
Speaker 3: He goes trotting up there try to see what the
Speaker 3: hell was going on. And as he gets into view
Speaker 3: of this tree impacted into the ground and saw what
Speaker 3: was going on. He was being shocked, but off to
Speaker 3: his left hand side, behind the brush, he sees dark movement. Immediately,
Speaker 3: he shoulders the rifle, takes a couple of shots. Hears
Speaker 3: some screaming off in the distance. He said he threw up.
Speaker 3: He said he felt so oppressed with the air. He
Speaker 3: said the air felt like it was suffocating him, and
Speaker 3: the reality of what was going on. He threw up
Speaker 3: went over after he was done throwing up, made sure
Speaker 3: he put a couple more rounds in the rifle. He
Speaker 3: goes over and cuts that lead line so the other
Speaker 3: dogs could back away, because the dog team was freaking
Speaker 3: out after he shot and the screams and all that.
Speaker 3: So he writes the sled because with the dog's backing
Speaker 3: up and everything rolled off to the side of the
Speaker 3: trail that he had just been packing, and so he's
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what the hell he's gonna do.
Speaker 3: He knows that he'll get the dogs there, that's not
Speaker 3: the issue. He doesn't know why this happened, What was
Speaker 3: the purpose? He had been there probably a good couple hours,
Speaker 3: going back and forth on this trail. Why hit my dog?
Speaker 3: Why do that? He still doesn't have an answer for it.
Speaker 3: If I asked him, how'd you feel after the shock
Speaker 3: wore up, after you threw up and all that, he
Speaker 3: said he felt like there was a thousand eyes staring
Speaker 3: at him, and he kept looking around. There was some
Speaker 3: brush and everything, but not a whole lot of hiding places,
Speaker 3: as he put it. So he gathers himself together. He
Speaker 3: guesstimated that the weight of the branch that impacted the
Speaker 3: dog into The trail was probably about three hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty four hundred pounds because he just grabbed the one
Speaker 3: end and moved it over. It was beetlekill spruce. It
Speaker 3: was larger than what was available in his immediate area.
Speaker 3: He knew further up from where he lived, there's the
Speaker 3: bigger spruce trees. He's just boggled, just trying to figure
Speaker 3: out what the hell just happened, really, because I mean,
Speaker 3: he was in shock. So he moves the log. He
Speaker 3: gets it clear enough for the dogs to get by.
Speaker 3: Now he goes and grabs one of his utility blankets
Speaker 3: that he uses to cover the sled and whatnot, and
Speaker 3: strap down when he has a load on it and
Speaker 3: rolls his dog up in that. The dog bills ugly,
Speaker 3: so he rolls the dog up, puts it in the sled.
Speaker 3: It's going to be dark soon, and he's closer to
Speaker 3: the village. He's heading two versus turning around and going back.
Speaker 3: So he continues on now. And when he was going
Speaker 3: past this spot, he was riding his dog sled with
Speaker 3: his rifle cradled in his arms. He was doing this number.
Speaker 3: He was trying to get the dogs encourage him past
Speaker 3: that point, but they were They kept sniffing the air,
Speaker 3: and they didn't want to go further down the trail.
Speaker 3: Eventually he coaxed me and got them going, and once
Speaker 3: they passed the spot, the dogs were just hauling ass
Speaker 3: down this trail. They needed no encouragement. That day, he
Speaker 3: gets about a quarter mile to between a quarter mile
Speaker 3: and a half mile, because he's estimating because he wasn't
Speaker 3: in his right frame of mind. Once he clears in
Speaker 3: this particular brushy area, there's a little stretch of flats
Speaker 3: and as he's going across it, the snow's a little
Speaker 3: lighter in that area because with the wind blowing through,
Speaker 3: it may snow a lot, but then the wind blows
Speaker 3: and then it's eight twelve inches or whatever. So it
Speaker 3: was good running for the dog. He's going to cross
Speaker 3: that and as he's approaching the other side to where
Speaker 3: the muskeg ends and there's more black spruce and willows
Speaker 3: and alders and whatnot, he noticed in the trees this
Speaker 3: thing moving. Now he didn't get a clear description either
Speaker 3: time he saw it. It was just a big, dark
Speaker 3: figure moving through the trees. Right, So immediately he stops
Speaker 3: the dogs. Now this isn't that far from where this
Speaker 3: shit just went down. So the dogs are sketchy. They're
Speaker 3: trying to turn around, and he's trying to keep eyes
Speaker 3: on this thing moving through the trees because it's literally
Speaker 3: in front of him. He said about maybe sixty yards tops,
Speaker 3: and it was moving along through the trees, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't moving away. It was going from his left to
Speaker 3: his right. So he decides, I'm gonna teach this thing
Speaker 3: a lesson, and I'm going to shoot this damn thing.
Speaker 3: He gets his rifle and just as he's looking for
Speaker 3: this thing to get a beat on it and put
Speaker 3: some shots down range, his dogs really start acting up,
Speaker 3: really acting squarely. They've gotten themselves tangled up. He was
Speaker 3: getting no sight of this thing in the trees, so
Speaker 3: he stops what he's doing, puts his rifle on safety,
Speaker 3: leans it against the sled, and is trying to get
Speaker 3: his dog straightened out. So he slings his rifle because
Speaker 3: he didn't want to leave it in the snow and
Speaker 3: it potentially getting lost or put it in the sled,
Speaker 3: and the dogs take off and he's got no gun
Speaker 3: with them, so he slung it over his shoulder, so
Speaker 3: he gets off the sled and he commences to untaggling
Speaker 3: a couple of the lead dogs. The front two got
Speaker 3: hooked up behind the back one somehow. So he's this
Speaker 3: untangling stuff meanwhile keeping his head on the wibble. Now,
Speaker 3: as he gets them cleared and he pulls them back
Speaker 3: on the trail to the direction, he knows he needs
Speaker 3: to go the same direction he just saw this same
Speaker 3: moments ago. He encouraged him, got them moving the closer
Speaker 3: he got, which the dogs weren't moving all that fast.
Speaker 3: They were not keen on going through this area, but
Speaker 3: they were doing as they're told. He just starts breaking
Speaker 3: into the tree line, and that's when he heard the
Speaker 3: first scream. Now, when he hears the scream, he saw nothing,
Speaker 3: but he said it sounded like it was standing over him.
Speaker 3: He said it reverberated through his body. He threw up
Speaker 3: again from the stress. He had heard of stories of
Speaker 3: the hairy Man. He's had uncles and all sorts of
Speaker 3: relatives that have experienced just this type of thing. He
Speaker 3: just hadn't himself up until that point. Now, when the
Speaker 3: scream happened and he pulled himself together, he said, about
Speaker 3: twenty five feet up off the trail. He saw something
Speaker 3: dark next to the trees. Now it's getting on into
Speaker 3: twilight in the winter. It's called alpnglow. I don't know
Speaker 3: if anyone's ever seen it. Look it up. Gorgeous. He's
Speaker 3: got this creamsickle colored rose colored shoe on everything. From
Speaker 3: the sun starting to set. He's got this pristine beauty
Speaker 3: with this terror in the trees right over there. He said,
Speaker 3: it felt like that moment lasted an hour, even though
Speaker 3: it was microseconds. It was just happening really fast. So
Speaker 3: he unslings the rifle. The dogs stopped moving. It says
Speaker 3: that scream happened. The dogs parked it, wetting themselves again,
Speaker 3: just standing there like what the hell. He puts a
Speaker 3: bead on the dark spot, pulls a trigger. Boom, nothing happens.
Speaker 3: He thought it was weird, puts another round in the chamber,
Speaker 3: takes a better look, realizes it was just a part
Speaker 3: of a broken black spruce tree. So he just shot
Speaker 3: a tree. But in context with the scream and everything,
Speaker 3: I don't blame me. I would have shot anything moving, honestly,
Speaker 3: So he composes himself, looks around. There's nothing. The gunshot
Speaker 3: broke the dogs out of their little stupor. He encourages
Speaker 3: them to go, so they take off again down the trail.
Speaker 3: Now he makes it through this particular part of the trail,
Speaker 3: no other noises, no other sounds. As soon as he
Speaker 3: gets this sinking feeling, he said it must have been
Speaker 3: the last one hundred and fifty yards of treed trail
Speaker 3: before he broke out in the more Muskeg. He said
Speaker 3: he felt watched. So he was looking off to his
Speaker 3: left and off to his right, and all this right,
Speaker 3: and the dogs are really moving now, they are shulling ass.
Speaker 3: It dawned on him when he was about fifty sixty
Speaker 3: yard from clearing the brush, and the black spruce looked
Speaker 3: behind him. So he turns around and looks this thing
Speaker 3: is literally within twenty five feet behind him, keeping pace
Speaker 3: with him. He said he couldn't tell if it was
Speaker 3: breathing hard or if it was truly smiling, because he
Speaker 3: said it like it had a big, wide smile on
Speaker 3: his face. His words, I'm just saying, I would like
Speaker 3: to think it was breathing hard to catch up and
Speaker 3: not smiling in that that's just malevolene. So immediately he's
Speaker 3: freaking out. He's encouraging the dogs go. It occurs to
Speaker 3: him as he's encouraging the dogs, this thing could snatch
Speaker 3: map at any time. So he decides he's not going
Speaker 3: to look back because he's freaking out. He said, just
Speaker 3: in his mind's eye, he could just picture this thing
Speaker 3: breathing on the back of his neck. I asked him
Speaker 3: what it looked like. He said, very light complexed hue
Speaker 3: of gray, real light gray, not super dark. Said that
Speaker 3: it was very wrinkly around the eyes, flat nose, big
Speaker 3: old white jaw, appeared to be about nine foot tall,
Speaker 3: ten foot tall, something like that. He's guestimating that because
Speaker 3: the trees by where he had looked back, he knew
Speaker 3: they were eight to ten feet tall, and this thing
Speaker 3: was about with him. But one of the things he
Speaker 3: did mention is this thing's feet were sinking into the snow.
Speaker 3: There is a disc and on accounted for there. Regardless,
Speaker 3: it was big. When he clears and he's out on
Speaker 3: the tundra and he gets a little ways away, he
Speaker 3: feels the pressure, the fear alleviating rather quickly. He started
Speaker 3: getting mad because he glanced down at his tarp, his
Speaker 3: canvas tarp that his lee dog that he had for
Speaker 3: eight nine years is rolled up in right. He tries
Speaker 3: to encourage the dogs to stop because he wanted to
Speaker 3: try to get a shot on this thing, because when
Speaker 3: he looked back, he didn't see it. It had stopped
Speaker 3: following him, so he was trying to get the dogs
Speaker 3: to stop, and once he did, he said he was
Speaker 3: about two hundred yards from that tree line when they
Speaker 3: finally stop. So he turns around and he's looking and
Speaker 3: he's trying to see where it may be. Off to
Speaker 3: his right hand side, off to the side of the
Speaker 3: continued tree line that kind of wrapped around where he
Speaker 3: was at. He saw it running across there, so he
Speaker 3: takes a shot at it and realizes that it was
Speaker 3: moving way too fast and he wasn't going to waste
Speaker 3: his amma.
Speaker 1: And stay tuned for more sasquatch. Honestly, right back after these.
Speaker 3: Messages, continues on gets his supplies. It had snowed overnight.
Speaker 3: He's VHF radio to give a warning to his family
Speaker 3: to be safe outside. Didn't say anything over the radio.
Speaker 3: He just wanted to make sure that he let his
Speaker 3: family know he made it their safe, that they need
Speaker 3: to be aware outside and take precautions. Left it at that,
Speaker 3: so the next day because it had snowed. When he
Speaker 3: went back through, there was no sign of anything, no
Speaker 3: sign of the tracks in the snow, a very little
Speaker 3: sign of anything. He said, it snowed so much he
Speaker 3: was down there breaking trail again. But instead of going
Speaker 3: back and forth this time he left it alone and
Speaker 3: just broke on through and went on home. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: think Jonah not his own name, for sharing that, because
Speaker 3: it's something that traumatized him from almost fifty years ago. Okay,
Speaker 3: it didn't stop him from doing his stuff, but like
Speaker 3: I mentioned, his passion for everything outdoors was just alleviated.
Speaker 3: It turned into work, whether it be ice, fishing, cutting firewood,
Speaker 3: whatever it was, it killed his passion. Gosh, it really
Speaker 3: sucks when things like that happen. I know the feeling.
Speaker 3: I'm no martyr or anything like that, but I get it.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people out there. It would be
Speaker 3: foolish to discount what these people share, especially like my experience.
Speaker 3: But what happened with me is not unique, not even
Speaker 3: a little bit. There are so many others out there
Speaker 3: that have had just terrifying things happen, but not every
Speaker 3: single one is terrifying. It's the randomness of it, Like
Speaker 3: why will some just shake and break a tree and
Speaker 3: make themselves aware and that's it, while others will come
Speaker 3: right up to someone's cabin, almost like toying with them.
Speaker 3: I don't know, just a lot of unanswered questions I
Speaker 3: wanted to share with you today. It comes from call
Speaker 3: him Doug. He is an equipment operator that has worked
Speaker 3: for several mining outfits. I've been talking to him a
Speaker 3: few times and he just at first was just inquisitive
Speaker 3: and asked few questions. I thought it was out of curiosity.
Speaker 3: A little while back he reached out again. He had
Speaker 3: just quit his mining job with this one outfit in
Speaker 3: the last season. He was torn about sharing at first,
Speaker 3: and I told him, Hey, we don't have to share
Speaker 3: on the channel, and he goes, not, I don't mind sharing, it,
Speaker 3: just not my name because he's still in the industry
Speaker 3: and he didn't want any stigma, which I totally understand.
Speaker 3: So what happened is this last season. Over the years,
Speaker 3: explained that he had heard a bunch of different weird stuff,
Speaker 3: saw different weird things moving in his peripherals, but never
Speaker 3: really chalked it up. This last season was the last
Speaker 3: year they were going to be in this particular area,
Speaker 3: so they had a bunch of access stuff to do
Speaker 3: as far as prepping to move camp. Now, from what
Speaker 3: he said, he chose to instead of help move the camp,
Speaker 3: he was going to stick around him and one other guy.
Speaker 3: He was going to feed the station by the trauma,
Speaker 3: and the other guy was going to feed the trauma
Speaker 3: and continue producing goal as the outfits packing enough to
Speaker 3: go now, it had been freezing up in the mornings,
Speaker 3: but they were able to work mid morning. They were
Speaker 3: able to get to it and not have too many issues.
Speaker 3: This particular outfit will just say they operated somewhere off
Speaker 3: the Yukon River. There's several, so we'll just leave a generic.
Speaker 3: One morning, it was the morning everyone took off and
Speaker 3: removing stuff. They were packing stuff. Him and this other
Speaker 3: guy went down into the pit placer mining. He was
Speaker 3: running the loader. It was getting on into full blown daylight,
Speaker 3: a little bit of dark shadow still in the trees.
Speaker 3: Doug wears glasses, and he told me he's plorrible at
Speaker 3: keeping him clean. So as he was firing up the
Speaker 3: loader and was dumping the banging icing and cried out
Speaker 3: of the bucket. He thought he saw something dark moving,
Speaker 3: and instead of looking at what was moving darkness, he
Speaker 3: figured it was on his glasses, so he wiped him
Speaker 3: off and then looked in the direction and didn't see
Speaker 3: anything and chalked it up to dirty glasses. Does a
Speaker 3: cook loads over the seed the guy at the trauma.
Speaker 3: The guy at the trauma was a little getting there,
Speaker 3: but it didn't matter because he had to stack up
Speaker 3: material for the guy to even start running, so he
Speaker 3: was basically there by himself for that period of time. Now,
Speaker 3: on his third run back and forth, he saw this
Speaker 3: black dot again out of his peripheral, but this time
Speaker 3: the dot was moving. He's looking to the inside of
Speaker 3: his little cabin the loader to look for a bug
Speaker 3: or something. He wasn't at the time connecting it's up
Speaker 3: here in the grass, just before the tree line, until
Speaker 3: he started looking harder and then seeing it moving along,
Speaker 3: and then it ducked into the trees. At the distance
Speaker 3: he was he couldn't make it out immediately. He just
Speaker 3: chucked it up to maybe a black bear or something
Speaker 3: like that, because there was always something moving through, moose
Speaker 3: or whatever. He just wasn't really overly concerned. So they
Speaker 3: go throughout the whole shift he's running and the other
Speaker 3: guy had some issues with the trauma. It broke down
Speaker 3: or whatever, so he went up took a lunch. As
Speaker 3: he was eating his lunch, sitting out in this little
Speaker 3: smoking area that Dalfit had had set up, he heard
Speaker 3: a weird screaming kind of howl and it sounded like
Speaker 3: it was coming from the pit area. He thought his
Speaker 3: coworker dealing with the traumble issue or whatever, may have
Speaker 3: hurt himself, so immediately he jumps on the four wheeler. Boo,
Speaker 3: he's back down in the pit. When he gets back
Speaker 3: down in the pit, the guy's just working on it
Speaker 3: and sees him pulling up on the four wheelers. The
Speaker 3: guy jumps up and goes, hey, did you hear that?
Speaker 3: And he goes, yeah, I heard it way back at camp.
Speaker 3: And the guy says, I was working. I couldn't see it,
Speaker 3: but it sounded like it was behind the trumble, but
Speaker 3: when I looked, there was nothing, so, you know, Doug said, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm going to look around now. They had a policy
Speaker 3: of always having firearms just because moose Bear. A couple
Speaker 3: of the guys a year before were stuck in a
Speaker 3: piece of equipment because of an aggressive brown bear, grizzly bear,
Speaker 3: what everyone want to call it, was trying to actively
Speaker 3: stalk them even with the equipment running. It was a
Speaker 3: fluke thing. Bear was hungry, obviously, but because of things
Speaker 3: like that over the years, policy always have a firearm.
Speaker 3: There was a rifle on a rack on the wheeler. Now,
Speaker 3: he openly admits that a lot of times that rifle
Speaker 3: would be left on the rack of the wheeler while
Speaker 3: they're running around on equipment, which whatever, You get complacent sometimes,
Speaker 3: but he had the rifle on the rack. Three thirty
Speaker 3: eight win mag. Now he zips around the drama. There's
Speaker 3: some trails that have been back there because they'd been
Speaker 3: working the same area for a while, so there was
Speaker 3: some established trails. So he took one of them and
Speaker 3: he was going long until he came across what he
Speaker 3: described as the biggest pile of crap he had ever seen.
Speaker 3: He slowed down and almost thought it was like a
Speaker 3: glob of mud or something that got thrown from the
Speaker 3: operation from a backoe or something just so where fleuk
Speaker 3: of a thing and the big glob of mud it hit.
Speaker 3: But he slowed down to check this out, and he
Speaker 3: was looking at it. He could tell it was obviously
Speaker 3: not a glob of mud, but a huge pile of crap.
Speaker 3: So his spidy senses start tingling and he's wet in
Speaker 3: the hell. Because he's not from Alaska. He was an
Speaker 3: import to do this lower thing, the equipment operator, and
Speaker 3: he had been making money for quite a while doing this,
Speaker 3: so he had never really heard anyone talking about Bigfoot,
Speaker 3: Harry Manner or any of that, so for him it
Speaker 3: was all new. He's looking at this big pile of crap,
Speaker 3: He's flashing back to the morning of the dark thing moving.
Speaker 3: He thinks, that's a big pile of black bear crap,
Speaker 3: round bear crap, whatever it may be. I wonder if
Speaker 3: this bear was taking such a healthy dump that it
Speaker 3: hurt it, And that's the weird screaming sound roar that
Speaker 3: they heard. He kind of in his own mind, he figured, okay,
Speaker 3: I got it figured out. Black bear took a hillacious
Speaker 3: crap and it hurt himself doing it and screamed about it.
Speaker 3: He gingerly gets around on the four wheeler around this
Speaker 3: pile of cap and continues down the trail. Once he
Speaker 3: gets down towards the end of where it banks off
Speaker 3: to the right, to circle around the rim of the
Speaker 3: pit that had been dug. He's driving by these little markers,
Speaker 3: and one of the markers that was in the ground.
Speaker 3: It's in the full daylight at this time. But where
Speaker 3: this particular marker was just inside a group of trees,
Speaker 3: and he could just see the little flag and he
Speaker 3: saw it moving, but he knows there was no wind.
Speaker 3: And he's about twenty five yards from the scene coming
Speaker 3: up on it, and he notices the flag disappears out
Speaker 3: of you. He didn't see what happened to him, but boom,
Speaker 3: it was gone. So he slows down because it caught
Speaker 3: his attention. When he gets up to where the marker was,
Speaker 3: he turns and looks into the trees. When he looks
Speaker 3: into the trees, he sees a big black silhouette just
Speaker 3: standing there, slight sway back and forth, really long forearms.
Speaker 3: He couldn't see much because it was all silhouetted, but
Speaker 3: it made a grunting noise, almost like a pig snort
Speaker 3: mixed with a partial growl, is how he expressed it
Speaker 3: to me. So immediately he's in shock. The rifle's right
Speaker 3: there on the rack, less than a foot away from
Speaker 3: his knees and he doesn't even think about the rifle.
Speaker 3: He turns and guns it and jumps down into the pit.
Speaker 3: He nos down, slipped over. He's lucky. He landed just
Speaker 3: right on some dirt that had dog and it broke
Speaker 3: his fall and he slid through it. The wheeler's upside down,
Speaker 3: has the gun pinned now. The guy that was with
Speaker 3: him is one hundred and fifty yards away at this time,
Speaker 3: still working on the troumo, has no idea what this
Speaker 3: is going on. The guy is just oblivious. He's got
Speaker 3: headphones on. He's working on equipment, right, So he's laying
Speaker 3: there on his back, and then Doug jumps up because
Speaker 3: he's scared. He looks up the top of the bank
Speaker 3: and this thing is standing there swing. He said, it
Speaker 3: had a curious look on his face. What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Why did that happen? Look on his face. He said
Speaker 3: it looked Neanderthal, flat broad nose, no hair around the
Speaker 3: eyes or the cheeks, but up under to the nose
Speaker 3: and all the rest around. Almost looked like someone with
Speaker 3: a furred ruff on, a hoodie on. He said he
Speaker 3: was transfixed, staring at it for a minute, just trying
Speaker 3: to absorb what he was. During those moments, he said
Speaker 3: it dawned on him how big and massive this thing was,
Speaker 3: because on the bank he could see where his front
Speaker 3: tires came over the edge. By the width of the
Speaker 3: front tires, this thing was wid much wider than the tracks.
Speaker 3: It dwarfed the size of the tracks, and he said
Speaker 3: it had to have been at a bare minimum ten
Speaker 3: foot tall. He didn't know what to do with that.
Speaker 3: He just sat there. He looks over at the four wheeler.
Speaker 3: He sees the rifles peemed underneath it because it's upside down. Now,
Speaker 3: all this is happening fairly quickly, so you got to
Speaker 3: understand it's taking me far longer to express it. So
Speaker 3: he crawls over, still looking up at this thing, to
Speaker 3: attempt to roll the four wheeler over. He's successful. He's
Speaker 3: got adrinaline dump and hard, and he rolls it over,
Speaker 3: and as it corrects itself, the rifle kind of folks
Speaker 3: out of the thing to the opposite side from where
Speaker 3: he's standing. So he gingerly goes around and as soon
Speaker 3: as he's reaching for the rifles, still trying to keep
Speaker 3: his eye on this thing, because he said it was
Speaker 3: doing a weird half step forward, half stepped back, swaying
Speaker 3: back and forth, doing this weird motion with his legs
Speaker 3: and his body. So he reaches over it grabs the rifle.
Speaker 3: It so happened the way it hit against the ground.
Speaker 3: The chamber, part of the action and the barrel were
Speaker 3: just kidding peep. It was inoperable, so he's holding it.
Speaker 3: He can't operate the bolt action or anything, so as
Speaker 3: he's trying to mess with it, he looks up again,
Speaker 3: poof gone. The four wheeler was not running. He just
Speaker 3: dropped the rifle, left the four wheeler and took off,
Speaker 3: running back to the other end of the pit where
Speaker 3: the guy's working on the trauma. When he gets over
Speaker 3: to his buddy, Doug tells him Hey, lays out everything
Speaker 3: that happened, tells him about the coil of crap falling
Speaker 3: off all of it. His buddy looks at him and goes,
Speaker 3: what he heard him, but didn't hear him. He was
Speaker 3: trying to put it together. He goes, come with me,
Speaker 3: let me show you. They go back and follow the
Speaker 3: trail back down. Now, the other guy grabbed a handgun
Speaker 3: out of the truck as they're walking along. They're coming
Speaker 3: up to the pilot crap. Up to this point, Doug
Speaker 3: had been just level headed and not really shaky, not
Speaker 3: overly fearful, more like what the hell. As they were
Speaker 3: coming up on the pilot crap, it all became real
Speaker 3: to him and what just happened to him. He started
Speaker 3: trembling and shaking and trying to explain to the guy.
Speaker 3: When they get to the pilot crap, his coworkers like, damn,
Speaker 3: that is massive, And the coworker starts taking it a
Speaker 3: lot more serious because at first he's like a big
Speaker 3: pilot crab. Huh. So they walk along and now at
Speaker 3: this point Doug is shaking like a leaf on a
Speaker 3: tree in the wind. They get up to the point
Speaker 3: of where that marker was removed. Now this is just
Speaker 3: a little simple wooden steak marker with some flags tied
Speaker 3: to the top of a blue one and a pink one.
Speaker 3: They get back over to that spot that marker had
Speaker 3: been put back almost into place right next to where
Speaker 3: it was, but pushed all the way down into the
Speaker 3: soil to where just the ribbons could be seen at
Speaker 3: the top of the soil. When him and his coworker
Speaker 3: get up to that point and he's explaining it was
Speaker 3: standing in there, swinging and whatnot when I slipped the
Speaker 3: four wheeler down the hill. So the guys, why did
Speaker 3: you push that steak in there? And he goes, I
Speaker 3: didn't do that. It removed. This steak caught my attention.
Speaker 3: As I pulled up, I looked over and then that's
Speaker 3: when I got out of there. I never touched that steak,
Speaker 3: and the guy's like, man, hold on, I want to
Speaker 3: check the steak out. So it goes over and it's
Speaker 3: a mossy tundra like material. So the foot impression that
Speaker 3: they saw over this steak, they couldn't get any real
Speaker 3: definition out of it. It was just a depression in
Speaker 3: the monster. And as he's chuckling a nervous chuckle, a
Speaker 3: scream hit some both from about ten yards in the
Speaker 3: trees right near where they're standing. They felt it through
Speaker 3: their body. Doug said that the guy immediately was in
Speaker 3: shock and was making sure that I was around in
Speaker 3: the chamber on the gun was screaming at Doug. Let's
Speaker 3: get the f out of here. We gotta go. They
Speaker 3: joked down from where the wheeler flipped over the edge.
Speaker 3: As they both get themselves together, at the bottom, they
Speaker 3: look back up, they don't see nothing. They start running
Speaker 3: towards the other end of the pit, and as they're
Speaker 3: doing so, his co worker is saying, you got to
Speaker 3: run faster, and Doug's late fifties. At this point, I'm running.
Speaker 3: This is what I got. Unbeknownst to Doug, this coworker
Speaker 3: was a little in front of him as he was
Speaker 3: looking back. He Doug thought his coworker was looking back
Speaker 3: at him to make sure he was still behind him,
Speaker 3: But what is actually doing was looking up on the
Speaker 3: rim of the pit because this thing was, according to
Speaker 3: his co worker, would loaf along and catch up to
Speaker 3: where they were and let them run a little ways
Speaker 3: and then paralleling them in increments. So when they get
Speaker 3: to the end of the pit by the troumo, they
Speaker 3: both jump into the truck and tear on out of there.
Speaker 3: They get back up to camp and that's when the
Speaker 3: guy explained to Doug, hey, it was doing this weird
Speaker 3: crap on the rim. Now, at this point, they don't
Speaker 3: know what to do. The rest of the guys are
Speaker 3: moving a bunch of stuff, so they decide they're going
Speaker 3: to take a different vehicle that's not all loaded down
Speaker 3: with a bunch of stuff. They're going to get in
Speaker 3: a different vehicle and go and get some other guys
Speaker 3: to come back, lend assistance to what's going on, and.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. After these messages, they found two
Speaker 3: guys that weren't busy. When they talked to the foreman.
Speaker 3: They tried to tell them what was going on. The
Speaker 3: foreman just looked down and was like, guys, you guys
Speaker 3: have been working way too hard. Take a twenty minute break,
Speaker 3: take your launch, get your heads together, because you guys
Speaker 3: are losing it. Man, We're almost done with the season.
Speaker 3: Keep it together. The foreman allowed two of the other
Speaker 3: guys to go back with them. Now they were working
Speaker 3: with about fourteen guys total. A couple of guys came
Speaker 3: back with doug and the other co worker and they
Speaker 3: were explaining to them on the way to exactly what happened,
Speaker 3: what went down. One of the other co workers was like,
Speaker 3: I've seen it before. Dougie was like, why didn't you
Speaker 3: tell anybody? He goes, look at how the foreman treated you.
Speaker 3: How do you think I was going to be treated?
Speaker 3: I'm lower on the totem pole than you are, Doug
Speaker 3: left alone, because that's fair enough. How you can't argue
Speaker 3: with that kind of reason. So they get back down there.
Speaker 3: They pull back up the four wheeler that was at
Speaker 3: the bottom of the pit and the bent rifle. When
Speaker 3: they got back. This took some time. It took over
Speaker 3: hour and a half, almost two hours for this whole
Speaker 3: ordeal for them to go get help, come back and whatnot.
Speaker 3: That four wheeler. They saw weird tracks like side stepping
Speaker 3: up the wall of the pit. The four wheeler was
Speaker 3: upside down at the top of the rim, and a
Speaker 3: rifle was laid across it. They didn't see it initially,
Speaker 3: so they all got together three firearms. They walked the trail.
Speaker 3: They explained everything to the other two co workers. They
Speaker 3: get around to the area and that's when they noticed,
Speaker 3: oh credit, the four wheelers actually uppear now upside down.
Speaker 3: Then they saw the tracks and stuff. He said, what
Speaker 3: was weird about the tracks was it was almost like
Speaker 3: it had stepped to where once it lifted its foot,
Speaker 3: dirt and material would fall into the track and obscured it.
Speaker 3: Because they tried to clear out a couple of other
Speaker 3: tracks to get a good look at the tracks, but
Speaker 3: the clay like mud and stuff, it was almost impossible.
Speaker 3: They all backed out of there. It had a chuckle
Speaker 3: and was like, wow, that's crazy. He wasn't believed by
Speaker 3: the foreman. The one guy that was with them obviously
Speaker 3: believed him, but the other two co workers and even
Speaker 3: the one guy that had seen it before when he
Speaker 3: brought it up in front of the group, was like,
Speaker 3: he's seen it too, what we dealt with. The other
Speaker 3: guy wouldn't tell anybody, So it was basically Doug and
Speaker 3: his coworker trying to tell the rest of them, Hey,
Speaker 3: this is what happened. They were essentially accused of drinking
Speaker 3: on the job. The wheeler thing was a drunken accident,
Speaker 3: and they were trying to cover their tracks for getting
Speaker 3: drunk while everyone was away. Doug doesn't drink, so he
Speaker 3: took offence. That's where that ended. He ended up leaving
Speaker 3: a day or two later. But every night from that
Speaker 3: point at dusk, they would hear screams off in the distance,
Speaker 3: the screaming roar that everybody heard, and he made sure
Speaker 3: he put it in each one of their faces, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: tell me that ain't real, Tell me that screaming it real.
Speaker 3: No one said nothing. He's still in the industry. He's
Speaker 3: still in the field. This season obviously hadn't started yet.
Speaker 3: It took him a lot to come forward and share
Speaker 3: just because of how he was treated in the camp. Doug,
Speaker 3: I appreciate you sharing then and informing people of what
Speaker 3: you experienced. I want to share with you today, comes
Speaker 3: from Bailey and her younger brother, Brian. Bailey works in
Speaker 3: the medical field, only comes up to Alaska about four
Speaker 3: times a year. This happened during her fall trip. The
Speaker 3: trip before this last fall was in the spring. She
Speaker 3: went with some friends to the Resurrection Trail. They only
Speaker 3: hiked up a part of it now that trail runs
Speaker 3: from Girdwood, Indian area on through her initial trip with
Speaker 3: a couple of coworkers. They did her little day hike,
Speaker 3: not a lot of effort into it, but she really
Speaker 3: enjoyed how beautiful it was. So once she got back
Speaker 3: to her home state, she was bragging and her younger
Speaker 3: brother was like, I'd love to go and see that.
Speaker 3: She was like, well, next trip, it's coming up in
Speaker 3: three months. So they made their arrangements. They came up.
Speaker 3: Now when they started their trek There was supposed to
Speaker 3: be four people going. Two people had to back out,
Speaker 3: so her brother had brought a firearm, a forty four magnum.
Speaker 3: It was a lever action rifle. They felt comfortable. She
Speaker 3: had been up to Alaska several times seeing bears, not
Speaker 3: super well versed, but had some experiences, so they were confident.
Speaker 3: It's a well marked trail. They were confident that they
Speaker 3: would not have any issues, especially with a firearm. They
Speaker 3: started their journey and they were moving slowed. If you
Speaker 3: press yourself, you could probably do the journey in a day.
Speaker 3: They planned it out for two to three days, just
Speaker 3: to make an adventure of it. Bailey's brother, Brian, is
Speaker 3: approximately ten years younger. They were going to use it
Speaker 3: as some bonding time because she left early for college,
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. Halfway through the first day,
Speaker 3: they kept hearing a very sharp whistle, but it sounded
Speaker 3: like it was coming way far in front of them.
Speaker 3: It always sounded the same. It had the same strength
Speaker 3: and tone to it, the same loudness, the same volume.
Speaker 3: It was identical each time they heard it, so it
Speaker 3: sounded like it was just at a distance. They thought
Speaker 3: it was a weird whistle, but they thought maybe there's
Speaker 3: search and rescue personnel doing maneuvers in there, doing some
Speaker 3: kind of training, and they were hearing that whistle. Now
Speaker 3: as it was getting on into dusk, they realized that
Speaker 3: they were getting to a portion of the trail where
Speaker 3: it wasn't necessarily super hard. There was just change of
Speaker 3: altitudes up and down with all these different types of
Speaker 3: steps in the rocks and stuff. So they picked a
Speaker 3: spot off to the side of the trail there because
Speaker 3: basically you're going through a valley when you're going in
Speaker 3: through there, So they picked a little spot off to
Speaker 3: the side. They set up their tent and a nice
Speaker 3: little grove of black spruce and little bit of willows.
Speaker 3: They felt comfortable. They weren't using any campfire or anything
Speaker 3: like that. They were cooking some mountain meals and dehydrated
Speaker 3: boil up in a pot type stuff. They were sitting there.
Speaker 3: Brian had the rifle case out, he didn't have the
Speaker 3: rifle out. As they were sitting there talking they heard
Speaker 3: the whistle again. This time it sounded like it was
Speaker 3: up across the little valley from them, off to their left,
Speaker 3: but it was a very sharp whistle. Simultaneously with the
Speaker 3: initial whistle. There was a slow growing and winding up
Speaker 3: like an air raid siren type of scream, as she
Speaker 3: described it. It worked up in volume from real low
Speaker 3: arcd on up to the highest pitched where they were
Speaker 3: both literally covering their ears because being in that valley,
Speaker 3: it was just like reverberating. They were thinking themselves. It
Speaker 3: saw like three separate groups of people that just hiked
Speaker 3: on past them. They were getting on their business, so
Speaker 3: they were like, I wonder if some of those people
Speaker 3: were playing a joke. They were trying to eat their food,
Speaker 3: but there was something about what they heard that just
Speaker 3: made them super uncomfortable. They knew nothing about the Alaskan
Speaker 3: harry Man. They didn't even subscribe to any big footstuff
Speaker 3: before this. They were clueless. So they finished up eating
Speaker 3: and they were nervously laughing and making jokes. Oh, the
Speaker 3: monster's going to eat us, the Alaskan monster, whatever it is.
Speaker 3: They were literally joking around, just trying to break the ice,
Speaker 3: just cracking cesseless jokes, talking about old times. About a
Speaker 3: half hour had gone by, She's guestimating, because it was
Speaker 3: getting on into twilight about to give really dark really soon.
Speaker 3: As they were having their discussions after that scream, roars,
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it. Brian did open up
Speaker 3: the case and made sure that the gun was loaded
Speaker 3: and ready to go, because they just didn't know if
Speaker 3: it was a prank or anything else. So they were
Speaker 3: very just honestly, they didn't know what to do, those
Speaker 3: are her words. As they were sitting there, about half
Speaker 3: hour time had passed by, they started hearing this grunting sound,
Speaker 3: and the grunt was a very guttural, deep loud for
Speaker 3: how low it was. It came from the same direction
Speaker 3: that they heard this air raid, sirens scream. Immediately they're
Speaker 3: both on their feet and they're like, that must be
Speaker 3: a big bear because again they clueless about anything, harry Man, bigfoot, sasquatch, whatever,
Speaker 3: They were just clueless. As they were talking, it was
Speaker 3: getting louder and sounded like it was getting closer as
Speaker 3: it was getting closer. This is a continuous thing. There
Speaker 3: was no alternating. They'd hear a sound and a noise
Speaker 3: or what. It was continual. They hear grunt, growl, some
Speaker 3: movement stuff breaking, another grunt, growl, movement stuff breaking. She
Speaker 3: was guessing a few hundred yards away across the little valley,
Speaker 3: working its way down towards the trail where they were.
Speaker 3: So they listened to this for a few moments, and
Speaker 3: they could tell it was progressively getting close enough to
Speaker 3: where they're like, screw this noise. Brian has a gun. Hey,
Speaker 3: just grab your date pack. I'll grab my date pack.
Speaker 3: Lit's back down the trail. They grabbed their little flashlights
Speaker 3: and stuff. He had the fire arm, and they started
Speaker 3: backing down the trail. As they were doing so, they
Speaker 3: were trying to minimize how much they used the light.
Speaker 3: They were worried about whatever this was, seeing their white
Speaker 3: source and zeroing in on them. They would turn around
Speaker 3: to look as they were going along. This scene was
Speaker 3: gaining because they weren't moving as fast as it was.
Speaker 3: It went from the low grunting the snapping of branches
Speaker 3: to a whooping sound. She said. The whooping wasn't initially scary.
Speaker 3: It was the whooping in return a little further down,
Speaker 3: and they sounded like it was coming from the trail
Speaker 3: area at the bottom of the little valley. The whooping
Speaker 3: was almost the same tone, but the return whoop was lower,
Speaker 3: are higher in pitch, and not as deep. She said.
Speaker 3: At that point it sounded like the movement stopped, but
Speaker 3: the noises continued in the area they were, so they
Speaker 3: continued backtracking quietly. They were trying to minimize their flashlight.
Speaker 3: They were cupping the beam and just making sure they
Speaker 3: could see their feet right. Not necessarily a super treacherous
Speaker 3: in that area, but when it's dark in a valley
Speaker 3: up here, forget it goes pitch black real fast. So
Speaker 3: they get to a point in the trail where there's
Speaker 3: some little rock spires off to their they're coming back,
Speaker 3: so on their way in it was on their left,
Speaker 3: on their way back tracking was on their right. These
Speaker 3: spires of rock just sat out of the ground about
Speaker 3: maybe six seven foot on the back side. Plenty of
Speaker 3: people have gone up there because there's a small cluster
Speaker 3: some willows and a couple black spruce or whatever. So
Speaker 3: they decide they're going to go up there and get
Speaker 3: a little high ground because they didn't feel comfortable backtracking
Speaker 3: in that dark. They're already a few miles in, and
Speaker 3: they didn't know the trail all that well. It was
Speaker 3: just so dark. They get up there, they kill their
Speaker 3: lights and they're sitting there and they're whispering to each other. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: while this is going on, there's still some whooping, some gracting,
Speaker 3: and some other weird noises she couldn't even put into
Speaker 3: words going on, just as her guestimate, less than a
Speaker 3: couple hundred yards away, and it was continuing from one
Speaker 3: spot and then a response from the other. Then they
Speaker 3: started hearing this garbled type sound, which she said she
Speaker 3: looked into it. It wasn't like the samurai sound. It
Speaker 3: sounded more less Asian, more American Indian light. Again, that's
Speaker 3: all the clarification she had on that. Because it was
Speaker 3: so new and different to her, she didn't have anything
Speaker 3: to relate it to. So they sat there listening to
Speaker 3: it as they were talking to each other about what
Speaker 3: the hell can this be. It's got to be a prank.
Speaker 3: I don't know what this is. As they're whispering to
Speaker 3: each other, the louder noise that she said sounded more aggressive.
Speaker 3: Another high pitch scream comes from that area and just
Speaker 3: breaking and thrashing. Then sure what was being broken, she
Speaker 3: could only assume trees, but on that particular part where
Speaker 3: it was coming from, it wasn't dense. It was dense
Speaker 3: with brush, but not so dense on that side with
Speaker 3: a bunch of trees to be breaking all over the place,
Speaker 3: so she was confused about that. She wasn't sure what
Speaker 3: to think of it. As this thing was coming their
Speaker 3: way got louder, more thrashing, more breaking, they could barely
Speaker 3: make out the tinge of They had one of these
Speaker 3: Neon nylon tents, little dome tints from Arii. She said.
Speaker 3: It was a Neon like yellow green, and it had
Speaker 3: the ARII logo or on the fly or whatever, and
Speaker 3: they could barely make out where it was, and they
Speaker 3: could see the top of it from where they had
Speaker 3: slowly backtracked away. She guestimated they made it about eighty
Speaker 3: yard from where they were camping initially, and again she
Speaker 3: could be off. She doesn't have her yardage or anything.
Speaker 3: She's not a hunter. So as they were sitting there,
Speaker 3: they were looking back towards it, and they were whispering,
Speaker 3: and they saw this dark figure. The only reason they
Speaker 3: knew it was on two legs is because it was
Speaker 3: blacker than the darkness there, and they could see it moving,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden they see their tin
Speaker 3: fly across the trail, and then a scream and then
Speaker 3: some thrashing around. They were like, oh crap, that is huge,
Speaker 3: cause they saw how big it was in relation to
Speaker 3: their tint. She said it had to have been over
Speaker 3: ten foot tall. This thing started screaming louder and started
Speaker 3: coming bee lining up the trail, very aggressive, walking like
Speaker 3: a stalking walk. She felt like she was in a
Speaker 3: horror movie because this thing was moving very deliberately and
Speaker 3: very aggressively. They could feel the energy off of it
Speaker 3: was very aggressive. They didn't know what to do. Brian's
Speaker 3: sitting there and he's whispering to Bailey, if it gets close,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to shoot this thing. It is huge. Again,
Speaker 3: Brian's not a firearms expert. That forty four would have
Speaker 3: done him not much good, but he was armed. So
Speaker 3: as their discussion, she's telling him be quiet. We'll just
Speaker 3: be quiet and sit right here. Now. They're on that
Speaker 3: little spire about six sem foot off of the trail.
Speaker 3: She said, this thing before it got to them, they
Speaker 3: could smell it and it smelled like dead rotten me
Speaker 3: real strong urine smell and the weird musty kind of
Speaker 3: scent to it. She said, it walked up the trail
Speaker 3: and meanwhile her brother is trying to put a beat
Speaker 3: on this thing and She lowered the barrel and whispered,
Speaker 3: doing unless it tries to hurt us, so Brian. They're
Speaker 3: both shaking. They're scared to death because this thing was big.
Speaker 3: It was pitch black. They couldn't make out any features,
Speaker 3: but they could see it on two legs. It was
Speaker 3: darker than the darkness around them. As they're watching this thing,
Speaker 3: she said, it came up the trail, got parallel with them.
Speaker 3: On the trail, turned its body. They saw it was
Speaker 3: wide and taller than them, as it was six seven
Speaker 3: feet below. She didn't no size, but she said it
Speaker 3: was well over ten foot tall. It stood there, facing them,
Speaker 3: less than twelve fifteen feet away. They just sat there,
Speaker 3: quivering and sobbing a little bit because this thing was
Speaker 3: so menacing standing there now. She said it was weird
Speaker 3: because when they were sitting there and started sobbing, it
Speaker 3: was almost like the energy changed. She said, it came
Speaker 3: across more like non aggressive, but more of a curious
Speaker 3: type of energy. Her words, not mine.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: After the these messages.
Speaker 3: They just sobbing, and finally, after a few moments, she
Speaker 3: said she wasn't sure exactly how long. It turned around
Speaker 3: and walked back down the trail off into the darkness.
Speaker 3: There was some whistles and whoops. After that. There was
Speaker 3: another scream or two, but again she was in a
Speaker 3: terrified mode. I understand that one so a lot of
Speaker 3: the noises. She only picked up a couple of them,
Speaker 3: but she said there was definitely other noises going on,
Speaker 3: and this scene moved away. Heard whoops from a different direction.
Speaker 3: She wasn't sure how many, but at least one more.
Speaker 3: Then it went dead quiet, she said. They sat there
Speaker 3: until sunrise, Until it got twilight enough, they went back
Speaker 3: to their camp. The tent was on the other side
Speaker 3: of the trail. Most of their stuff was still in
Speaker 3: their day packs. Their food stuffs were untouched. The little
Speaker 3: benzo stove was tipped over. The fuel can was still
Speaker 3: had a little bit of flame going on it, but
Speaker 3: it was virtually undisturbed as far as this thing wasn't
Speaker 3: kicking that around or anything like that. It just, she said,
Speaker 3: look like it grabbed the tent and flung it across
Speaker 3: the trail. There was only sleeping bags, just little minor
Speaker 3: stuff in the tent. They flamed their stuff real quick.
Speaker 3: She said, it was still dead, dead quiet in that moment.
Speaker 3: They gathered up the stuff, balled up the tent, stuffed
Speaker 3: it in whatever they could, backtracked out of there, back
Speaker 3: towards the good Ward Side where they had initially started.
Speaker 3: I want to thank Bailey for sharing that. It was
Speaker 3: really hard for her because it's all new to her.
Speaker 3: She tried to reach out to leave a report. It
Speaker 3: got heavily edited and deleted. I appreciate you reaching out
Speaker 3: to me. It's hard, especially when these things aren't supposed
Speaker 3: to exist. You're dealing with this thing feet away. It's
