Speaker 1: Hello, friends, Steve's talkton here with you. Welcome to our
Speaker 1: latest video. In this episode, we're going to take a
Speaker 1: look at some mysterious screams in the wilderness. Join me,
Speaker 1: let's take a walk and see. The woodland areas, national
Speaker 1: parks and forests of our world have always seemed to
Speaker 1: hold a sense of not only sacredness, but of mystery
Speaker 1: and wonder. Especially for those of us in this community.
Speaker 1: There's an allure there, a sort of unknown calling out
Speaker 1: our souls when we are in near and around these places.
Speaker 1: Since the dawn of time, there have been stories of creatures, beasts, monsters,
Speaker 1: and other unknown things lurking around in the depths of
Speaker 1: the places, mostly unseen and untouched. We know full well
Speaker 1: here on this channel that sometimes that allure and those
Speaker 1: calls are sent out by things that aren't so nice
Speaker 1: or good or full of light, but from the abyss,
Speaker 1: the darkness, and sometimes maybe from the very depths of
Speaker 1: hell itself. But what happens when we heed that call though,
Speaker 1: following the voice that not only whispers to us to
Speaker 1: come hither, sometimes screams it loud and clear, even if
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily know the call is for us? Today
Speaker 1: we're going to discuss strange screams coming from the wilderness.
Speaker 1: Are these screams coming from creatures of darkness, men as
Speaker 1: a lure to bring us to it and perhaps turn
Speaker 1: us into one of the missing we talk about here
Speaker 1: so often. Or is it simply someone, possibly someone who
Speaker 1: was led by these calls and screams themselves, who now
Speaker 1: realizes their mistake and needs our help. One more thing
Speaker 1: to consider. Could these screams be coming from someone that
Speaker 1: has accidentally walked through a portal or slipped and stumbled
Speaker 1: right into another dimension, one where they can be heard
Speaker 1: but not seen, but can see and hear so very
Speaker 1: well themselves. You be the judge. Now, some names have
Speaker 1: been changed for the sake of anonymity and privacy of
Speaker 1: the witnesses and victims. Our first encounter is from a
Speaker 1: man we'll call Bob, whose son was a boy scout
Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty eight. Bob says, while out with
Speaker 1: his fellow scouts on a week long camping trip at
Speaker 1: a place called Camp Conawago, located north of New Oxford
Speaker 1: at Adams County, Pennsylvania, that they and several other troops
Speaker 1: were visiting the area at that time had been scared
Speaker 1: out of their wits by strange screaming and crying sounds
Speaker 1: emanating from the woods around where they'd set up their camps.
Speaker 1: There were about fifteen separate troops and they all reported
Speaker 1: almost exact same thing. These sounds were so devilish and
Speaker 1: disturbing every single one of the troop leaders decided right
Speaker 1: there on the spot to call off their camping trips
Speaker 1: and go home on only the second day. All it
Speaker 1: took was one night, and they decided it wasn't worth
Speaker 1: the risk of staying and finding out what it was
Speaker 1: that was capable of making such inhuman sounds. Bob, however,
Speaker 1: couldn't let it go, so he and a friend named
Speaker 1: Kevin decided to go back up into those same woods,
Speaker 1: to the same area and investigate further. They brought along
Speaker 1: another friend named Simon, and off they went. The three
Speaker 1: men embarked on a several day camping trip, but made
Speaker 1: sure to avoid all the more public spots, and they
Speaker 1: roamed deeper into the depths of the forest than anyone
Speaker 1: was suppoked despite an undeniable sense being watched. Their first
Speaker 1: night came and went with nothing unusual happening. They dismissed
Speaker 1: the movement and activity outside their tents as animals, though
Speaker 1: they were just a bit spooked. The next day, as
Speaker 1: they walked several miles through the woods, the feeling of
Speaker 1: being watched never left them, and all three were now
Speaker 1: sure something was following them. However, the men were skeptics,
Speaker 1: trying to be pragmatic, and therefore they all dismissed this
Speaker 1: overwhelming feeling. It is nothing more than a case of nerves.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until that second night if the high strangeness
Speaker 1: would start, and it would come in the form of
Speaker 1: something all three of them couldn't deny any longer. Bob
Speaker 1: told their story later on in life to Lon Strickler,
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say of what he
Speaker 1: was told happened on that second night. Later that evening,
Speaker 1: we were sitting around the fire, engaged in a conversation
Speaker 1: about football, when suddenly a scream rang out downstream from
Speaker 1: our location. I thought it sounded like an owl at first,
Speaker 1: but a few minutes later it happened again, and it
Speaker 1: distinctively sounded like a child. I couldn't tell how far
Speaker 1: away it was, but it lasted for several seconds and
Speaker 1: seemed to fade in and out. We got up and
Speaker 1: walked a few yards into the woods, expecting to hear
Speaker 1: the sound again. It was quiet for about an hour
Speaker 1: and we were discussing what could have naturally caused that sound.
Speaker 1: I've heard bobcats, owls, and rabbits scream and none sounded
Speaker 1: close to this. We agreed that it was definitely the
Speaker 1: cries of a child. We decided to stay up for
Speaker 1: the entire night. There was a full moon and much
Speaker 1: of the woods and creek were visible. At approximately one am,
Speaker 1: I was walking the perimitive of our camp when I
Speaker 1: suddenly felt like something was watching me. I stood still
Speaker 1: and tried to gauge what was going on. I told
Speaker 1: Simon and Kevin what I felt, and we started to
Speaker 1: walk deeper into the woods toward the fork. We walked
Speaker 1: about fifty feet when, without warning, we recognized our right
Speaker 1: a large, dark figure with bright red eyes standing in
Speaker 1: the creek, and suddenly it shot straight up into the
Speaker 1: air with an audible whoosh. A few seconds later, we
Speaker 1: heard another scream that seemed to fade, as if it
Speaker 1: was moving away from us. We hurried back to the
Speaker 1: campsite and compared thoughts about this phantom. Kevin was shook
Speaker 1: up and didn't talk for several minutes until I prodded
Speaker 1: him for his recollection. Simon was surprisingly calm and estimated
Speaker 1: that it was six foot or so, dark in color,
Speaker 1: and seemed to have something extending from its back. I
Speaker 1: also noticed the structures on the back and commented that
Speaker 1: it reminded me of wings, but I was unsure. We
Speaker 1: all agreed that it had bright red eyes. This creature
Speaker 1: or phantom jettison so fast so we didn't even have
Speaker 1: time to get a flashlight on it. Kevin wanted to
Speaker 1: spend the night in the administration building and come back
Speaker 1: and collect our gear in the morning, and Simon walked back,
Speaker 1: but I decided to stay in the campsite for the
Speaker 1: remainder of the night. Nothing significant occurred, though that feeling
Speaker 1: of being watched remain now. While there's no way to
Speaker 1: know or definitely conclude what happened here or what these
Speaker 1: men had encountered. Lown Strickler, friend of mine, determined that
Speaker 1: this was more than likely some type of creature kin
Speaker 1: to the moth Man, but of course he couldn't say
Speaker 1: for sure. According to Lawn, this was far from an
Speaker 1: isolated incident. But here's another one he brought forth and
Speaker 1: says it also had to do with boy scouts who
Speaker 1: were on a camping trip with their troops. One of
Speaker 1: the scout masters, who had heard the screams and experienced
Speaker 1: the tear of first hand, sent his story in to
Speaker 1: mister Strickler, and he reported it thus quote. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, I received an email from a man
Speaker 1: who lived to Milerso, downstream from this incident, near Dick's Dan.
Speaker 1: He stated that he had heard similar screams for many
Speaker 1: years and that the frightful sounds continued to this day.
Speaker 1: The scout leader also emailed me approximately the same time
Speaker 1: and wanted to tell me that a few of the
Speaker 1: boys in his troop had witnessed what they described as
Speaker 1: a dragon. It was six foot tall with wings and
Speaker 1: a tail, but it looked like it had fur or feathers.
Speaker 1: He said that the boys seemed sero, but thought they
Speaker 1: were showing off and dismissed their claims until later when
Speaker 1: he read the account of my experience. Since that time,
Speaker 1: I've continued to check up on the area to see
Speaker 1: if anything strange develops. The Native American folklore and stories
Speaker 1: from settlers who inhabited the area offered several possibilities as
Speaker 1: to the identity of descripted but to date, I've not
Speaker 1: been able to make a plausible theory as to what
Speaker 1: is being heard or seen. You'd like to check out
Speaker 1: some more of Lawn's reports, head on over to his
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, Phantoms and Monsters. I'll put a link in
Speaker 1: the description. Once again, there's no definite explanation as to
Speaker 1: what in the world was encountered here, but many theories
Speaker 1: have been put forth, and really, whatever it was defies
Speaker 1: the very limits of our imagination and what some of
Speaker 1: us are able to accept. Skeptics believe these men had
Speaker 1: somehow confused a known creature in their confused and already
Speaker 1: terrified state of mind, and are dreaming up these beasts
Speaker 1: out of fear. As always, we'll never know for sure,
Speaker 1: but please let us know what you think in the comments.
Speaker 1: Will Now, these are hardly isolated instances, and these screams
Speaker 1: do not only happen in isolated areas of woods. Their cases,
Speaker 1: where an entire area of woodlands and vast expansive forests
Speaker 1: have been overcome with these haunting and frightening sounds, sights,
Speaker 1: and encounters. In twenty fifteen off the coast of Northern
Speaker 1: Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, the residents of Alert Bay,
Speaker 1: which is a remote and private community on Cremorant Island,
Speaker 1: had their own experiences with frightening sounds and screams coming
Speaker 1: from the surrounding woods. The residents reported not only screams
Speaker 1: and shrieks, but strange howls emanating from the forests nearby
Speaker 1: the area. This wasn't anything new, as these type of
Speaker 1: events have been being reported and talked about among the
Speaker 1: locals for years, but in this case, the strange noises
Speaker 1: had become much more pronounced. It was so loud it
Speaker 1: was alarming, and the screams reverberated seemingly out of the
Speaker 1: trees and throughout the small community. The residents were understandably
Speaker 1: terrified and even feared for their lives. There are no bears, deer,
Speaker 1: or cougar's on this little island, and therefore it was
Speaker 1: that much more terrifying for all who heard it. One
Speaker 1: local man named Rod Alfred reports, quote this summer, I've
Speaker 1: heard it three times. I've heard it scream three times,
Speaker 1: but it's been coming here for years with that volume.
Speaker 1: Absolutely no dog can make that kind of a noise
Speaker 1: with that volume end the quote. Most likely not a
Speaker 1: coincidence is the fact that this particular island is home
Speaker 1: of many sasquat sightings, which lead many to believe that
Speaker 1: this is what's making the terrible racket. Others believe it's
Speaker 1: simply stray dogs lost and scared, but nobody knows for sure.
Speaker 1: Very similar reports came in in twenty seventeen was something
Speaker 1: howling loudly throughout the woods and reverberating through the community
Speaker 1: of Morristown in central British Columbia. Most residents believed it
Speaker 1: was simply an elk, but at least one man begged
Speaker 1: to differ. He stated, I've lived in the country most
Speaker 1: of my life and been hunting every year for the
Speaker 1: last twenty three I ever felt a sound like these before.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't someone like this man, who had so much experience
Speaker 1: with hunting animals in these very woods, know the difference
Speaker 1: between not only which animals were making sound, but of
Speaker 1: which sounds belong and which don't. And the fact that
Speaker 1: he said he felt the sound rather than heard it,
Speaker 1: that gives us an idea of the reverberation involved. Once again,
Speaker 1: we leave it up to you to speculate. The eerie
Speaker 1: screaming and shrieking in the woods of northwestern Ontario are
Speaker 1: not at all uncommon either. Seasoned hunter and resident of
Speaker 1: a place called Sue Lookout, whose name is Genomeekus, reported
Speaker 1: what he went through while out camping with his wife
Speaker 1: and grandson back in October of twenty nineteen. While at
Speaker 1: first they thought they were hearing a simple moose, they
Speaker 1: soon reconsidered and here's what Gino had to say of
Speaker 1: the event. Quote. When it let out the first scream,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a moose, but my mind changed
Speaker 1: when it screamed again and again. I've heard many different
Speaker 1: animals in the wild, but nothing like this. I grew
Speaker 1: up hunting with my grandma father for the first twelve
Speaker 1: years of my life. We could hear it moving. It
Speaker 1: sounded kind of heavy. My wife got scared. She picked
Speaker 1: up our grandson and started walking fast toward the vehicle.
Speaker 1: He posted a recording of the sounds somewhere on the
Speaker 1: Internet along with his report of what he experienced, and
Speaker 1: wildlife officials have allegedly listened to their recording, but were
Speaker 1: of the opinion, at least mainly that the sounds had
Speaker 1: originated from a large mammal such as a bear or
Speaker 1: a wolf. Officially, though, no one, including these so called experts,
Speaker 1: had been able to come to a definitive conclusion as
Speaker 1: to what in the world they were hearing. This isn't
Speaker 1: an isolated incident either. There have been several reports of
Speaker 1: strange noises emanating from the woods in the same vicinity
Speaker 1: of Geno Meekus encounter around the same time. The noises
Speaker 1: are almost always described in the same way, and when recorded,
Speaker 1: sound like the exact same creature or entity could be
Speaker 1: making them, but no one knows for sure, and still
Speaker 1: it remains a complete and total mystery, even as more
Speaker 1: reports pour in from that area and areas just like
Speaker 1: it throughout the world to this very day. Richfield, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: is another area that seems to be menaced by other
Speaker 1: worldly house and shrieks around town, of course, coming from
Speaker 1: the surrounding woods. Terrified locals reported several instances in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty alone. One witness described the noise as a weird
Speaker 1: crowing scream. These same sounds were heard by countless witnesses
Speaker 1: over the course of four or five nights and it stilledged.
Speaker 1: The sounds only came between three and four in the morning,
Speaker 1: and they would mysteriously adjust as suddenly as they had
Speaker 1: started stop. Wildlife officials who stated that the sounds have
Speaker 1: come from young bar do owls, raccoons, red foxes, or
Speaker 1: even a dying rabbit. Many who have heard the noises
Speaker 1: think that they are reaching. There's some who think that
Speaker 1: the authorities and wildlife officials know exactly what it is
Speaker 1: that's causing such a stir and terrifying the locals, but
Speaker 1: that they are keeping it to themselves in the hopes
Speaker 1: of avoiding a public panic or outcry. They are very
Speaker 1: well known in recent reports strange sounds like the ones
Speaker 1: aforementioned that come from approximately twenty five miles away from
Speaker 1: the major city of Portland, Oregon, in a suburban area
Speaker 1: called Forest Grove, which lies within the Tuwaalatan Valley and
Speaker 1: the surrounding woods and forests. The town is small and
Speaker 1: rural and was originally established as a farming community. Its
Speaker 1: population is just over twenty thousand people. It's considered a
Speaker 1: peaceful place. I've been there and it's usually out of
Speaker 1: reach of the noise and crime of the nearby big city. However,
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, the peacefulness and quietness of this little
Speaker 1: haven were broken, and rather abruptly, when its residents started
Speaker 1: hearing what was described as an unearthly, loud, shrieking noise
Speaker 1: which seemed to come blowing right out of the surrounding
Speaker 1: countryside at night time. No one could explain it, and
Speaker 1: even the most seasoned hunters and woodsmen in the area
Speaker 1: had no idea what in the world could be creating
Speaker 1: such a sound. These reports actually made headlines nationally, but
Speaker 1: even so called experts couldn't figure out what the source was.
Speaker 1: Many residents heard the sounds, and it was described several
Speaker 1: different ways, though everyone agreed they were scared out of
Speaker 1: their wits by them. The noises were described as, among
Speaker 1: other things, a steam whistle, metal scraping its metal, a
Speaker 1: siren that's gone off kilter, a banshet were similar moaning
Speaker 1: and mechanical screams. Despite the differing descriptions of what was
Speaker 1: being heard, all who heard it agreed on one thing.
Speaker 1: The sounds were eerie, seriously intense, and very nerve wracking.
Speaker 1: Not only did the screams keep the human residents awake,
Speaker 1: but it seemed to have some sort of effect on
Speaker 1: their pets as well. Domestic animals would run in circles,
Speaker 1: cry incessantly, and generally seemed to be driven crazy by
Speaker 1: whatever it was. But ask where the sounds were coming from,
Speaker 1: the answers were also very interesting, with some saying it
Speaker 1: was coming from the middle of the streets outside their homes,
Speaker 1: others saying it came from the woods, and others still
Speaker 1: said the noises were originating from their own backyards. When
Speaker 1: the noises were put on the internet, they created quite
Speaker 1: a stir with everyone trying to be the one to
Speaker 1: figure it all out once and for all, of course,
Speaker 1: to no avail. The resident named Dave Neemeyer, who was
Speaker 1: also the fire marshall Force Grow Fire and Rescue, set
Speaker 1: out on his own investigation of the sounds, and he
Speaker 1: stated about them, quote, it's definitely a horrendous noise. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what the noise is. The residents described
Speaker 1: to us that it was coming from the middle of
Speaker 1: the street. To me, it sounds like the sound of
Speaker 1: train tracks, that metal screeching sound. But there are no
Speaker 1: train tracks near her home, so that's obviously ruled out.
Speaker 1: End quote and of course, as quickly as the noises started,
Speaker 1: they stopped, and we are left with nothing but a
Speaker 1: few sound clips on the Internet and speculations as to
Speaker 1: what could have made those sounds. There are very few
Speaker 1: simple theories as to the mysterious sounds of force growth,
Speaker 1: and some say they are perhaps oversimplified in these explanations.
Speaker 1: Some of them were leaky pipes, earthquakes, faulty attic fans,
Speaker 1: malfunctioning valves, faulty heat pumps, wildfires, and of course Squatch himself.
Speaker 1: There was also a lot of talk of possible UFOs
Speaker 1: just to here and somehow creating the noises. Still, all
Speaker 1: this and all were left with nothing conclusive and tons
Speaker 1: of speculation, rumor theory, and oddball ideas. Could it have
Speaker 1: been the intention of whatever it was to lure the
Speaker 1: residents of this city and all the other witnesses, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, into the forest in question? The victims slash
Speaker 1: witnesses were seemingly as different as different can be, and
Speaker 1: there can be no connections made throughout the whole of them.
Speaker 1: We might never know what things go bump in the night, blurt, stalk,
Speaker 1: and roam the woods and forests of our world, Nor
Speaker 1: could we know what is creating the awful and terrifying,
Speaker 1: sometimes mind numbing sounds they create, and or why they
Speaker 1: only seem to be heard some of the time. It's
Speaker 1: one of the great mysteries of this community. As always,
Speaker 1: we look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter
Speaker 1: in the comment section, but please keep it friendly and
Speaker 1: respectful till we meet again. Be good to yourself and
Speaker 1: each other. Don't go in the woods after those scary noises.
Speaker 1: As for me, I'll see a little further on down
Speaker 1: the trail. I'm not going after the noises either. I'm
Speaker 1: Steve Stalkton and I'll talk to you next time. And
Speaker 1: don't forget to tell your animals I said hi.
