00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Hello, friends, Steve's talkton here with you. Welcome to our

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.639
<v Speaker 1>latest video. In this episode, we're going to take a

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>look at some mysterious screams in the wilderness. Join me,

4
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 1>let's take a walk and see. The woodland areas, national

5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>parks and forests of our world have always seemed to

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>hold a sense of not only sacredness, but of mystery

7
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and wonder. Especially for those of us in this community.

8
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>There's an allure there, a sort of unknown calling out

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>our souls when we are in near and around these places.

10
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Since the dawn of time, there have been stories of creatures, beasts, monsters,

11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>and other unknown things lurking around in the depths of

12
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the places, mostly unseen and untouched. We know full well

13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>here on this channel that sometimes that allure and those

14
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 1>calls are sent out by things that aren't so nice

15
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>or good or full of light, but from the abyss,

16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the darkness, and sometimes maybe from the very depths of

17
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>hell itself. But what happens when we heed that call though,

18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>following the voice that not only whispers to us to

19
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 1>come hither, sometimes screams it loud and clear, even if

20
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>we don't necessarily know the call is for us? Today

21
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>we're going to discuss strange screams coming from the wilderness.

22
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Are these screams coming from creatures of darkness, men as

23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>a lure to bring us to it and perhaps turn

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>us into one of the missing we talk about here

25
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>so often. Or is it simply someone, possibly someone who

26
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>was led by these calls and screams themselves, who now

27
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 1>realizes their mistake and needs our help. One more thing

28
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to consider. Could these screams be coming from someone that

29
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>has accidentally walked through a portal or slipped and stumbled

30
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>right into another dimension, one where they can be heard

31
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>but not seen, but can see and hear so very

32
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>well themselves. You be the judge. Now, some names have

33
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>been changed for the sake of anonymity and privacy of

34
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>the witnesses and victims. Our first encounter is from a

35
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 1>man we'll call Bob, whose son was a boy scout

36
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>back in nineteen eighty eight. Bob says, while out with

37
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>his fellow scouts on a week long camping trip at

38
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a place called Camp Conawago, located north of New Oxford

39
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>at Adams County, Pennsylvania, that they and several other troops

40
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>were visiting the area at that time had been scared

41
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>out of their wits by strange screaming and crying sounds

42
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 1>emanating from the woods around where they'd set up their camps.

43
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 1>There were about fifteen separate troops and they all reported

44
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>almost exact same thing. These sounds were so devilish and

45
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>disturbing every single one of the troop leaders decided right

46
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>there on the spot to call off their camping trips

47
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 1>and go home on only the second day. All it

48
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>took was one night, and they decided it wasn't worth

49
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the risk of staying and finding out what it was

50
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that was capable of making such inhuman sounds. Bob, however,

51
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>couldn't let it go, so he and a friend named

52
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Kevin decided to go back up into those same woods,

53
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to the same area and investigate further. They brought along

54
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 1>another friend named Simon, and off they went. The three

55
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>men embarked on a several day camping trip, but made

56
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>sure to avoid all the more public spots, and they

57
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>roamed deeper into the depths of the forest than anyone

58
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 1>was suppoked despite an undeniable sense being watched. Their first

59
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>night came and went with nothing unusual happening. They dismissed

60
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the movement and activity outside their tents as animals, though

61
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they were just a bit spooked. The next day, as

62
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 1>they walked several miles through the woods, the feeling of

63
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>being watched never left them, and all three were now

64
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>sure something was following them. However, the men were skeptics,

65
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>trying to be pragmatic, and therefore they all dismissed this

66
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming feeling. It is nothing more than a case of nerves.

67
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't until that second night if the high strangeness

68
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>would start, and it would come in the form of

69
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 1>something all three of them couldn't deny any longer. Bob

70
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>told their story later on in life to Lon Strickler,

71
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and here's what he had to say of what he

72
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was told happened on that second night. Later that evening,

73
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>we were sitting around the fire, engaged in a conversation

74
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>about football, when suddenly a scream rang out downstream from

75
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>our location. I thought it sounded like an owl at first,

76
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but a few minutes later it happened again, and it

77
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>distinctively sounded like a child. I couldn't tell how far

78
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>away it was, but it lasted for several seconds and

79
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 1>seemed to fade in and out. We got up and

80
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>walked a few yards into the woods, expecting to hear

81
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the sound again. It was quiet for about an hour

82
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and we were discussing what could have naturally caused that sound.

83
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I've heard bobcats, owls, and rabbits scream and none sounded

84
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>close to this. We agreed that it was definitely the

85
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>cries of a child. We decided to stay up for

86
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the entire night. There was a full moon and much

87
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of the woods and creek were visible. At approximately one am,

88
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I was walking the perimitive of our camp when I

89
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>suddenly felt like something was watching me. I stood still

90
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>and tried to gauge what was going on. I told

91
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Simon and Kevin what I felt, and we started to

92
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>walk deeper into the woods toward the fork. We walked

93
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>about fifty feet when, without warning, we recognized our right

94
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>a large, dark figure with bright red eyes standing in

95
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the creek, and suddenly it shot straight up into the

96
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>air with an audible whoosh. A few seconds later, we

97
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>heard another scream that seemed to fade, as if it

98
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>was moving away from us. We hurried back to the

99
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 1>campsite and compared thoughts about this phantom. Kevin was shook

100
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>up and didn't talk for several minutes until I prodded

101
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>him for his recollection. Simon was surprisingly calm and estimated

102
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that it was six foot or so, dark in color,

103
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 1>and seemed to have something extending from its back. I

104
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 1>also noticed the structures on the back and commented that

105
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 1>it reminded me of wings, but I was unsure. We

106
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>all agreed that it had bright red eyes. This creature

107
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 1>or phantom jettison so fast so we didn't even have

108
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 1>time to get a flashlight on it. Kevin wanted to

109
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>spend the night in the administration building and come back

110
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 1>and collect our gear in the morning, and Simon walked back,

111
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>but I decided to stay in the campsite for the

112
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>remainder of the night. Nothing significant occurred, though that feeling

113
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 1>of being watched remain now. While there's no way to

114
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>know or definitely conclude what happened here or what these

115
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>men had encountered. Lown Strickler, friend of mine, determined that

116
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>this was more than likely some type of creature kin

117
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to the moth Man, but of course he couldn't say

118
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 1>for sure. According to Lawn, this was far from an

119
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>isolated incident. But here's another one he brought forth and

120
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>says it also had to do with boy scouts who

121
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>were on a camping trip with their troops. One of

122
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the scout masters, who had heard the screams and experienced

123
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the tear of first hand, sent his story in to

124
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>mister Strickler, and he reported it thus quote. In two

125
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight, I received an email from a man

126
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>who lived to Milerso, downstream from this incident, near Dick's Dan.

127
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>He stated that he had heard similar screams for many

128
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>years and that the frightful sounds continued to this day.

129
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>The scout leader also emailed me approximately the same time

130
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and wanted to tell me that a few of the

131
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>boys in his troop had witnessed what they described as

132
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a dragon. It was six foot tall with wings and

133
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 1>a tail, but it looked like it had fur or feathers.

134
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 1>He said that the boys seemed sero, but thought they

135
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 1>were showing off and dismissed their claims until later when

136
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>he read the account of my experience. Since that time,

137
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I've continued to check up on the area to see

138
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>if anything strange develops. The Native American folklore and stories

139
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>from settlers who inhabited the area offered several possibilities as

140
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to the identity of descripted but to date, I've not

141
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>been able to make a plausible theory as to what

142
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 1>is being heard or seen. You'd like to check out

143
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>some more of Lawn's reports, head on over to his

144
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel, Phantoms and Monsters. I'll put a link in

145
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 1>the description. Once again, there's no definite explanation as to

146
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 1>what in the world was encountered here, but many theories

147
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 1>have been put forth, and really, whatever it was defies

148
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the very limits of our imagination and what some of

149
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>us are able to accept. Skeptics believe these men had

150
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 1>somehow confused a known creature in their confused and already

151
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>terrified state of mind, and are dreaming up these beasts

152
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>out of fear. As always, we'll never know for sure,

153
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but please let us know what you think in the comments.

154
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Will Now, these are hardly isolated instances, and these screams

155
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.519
<v Speaker 1>do not only happen in isolated areas of woods. Their cases,

156
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>where an entire area of woodlands and vast expansive forests

157
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>have been overcome with these haunting and frightening sounds, sights,

158
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and encounters. In twenty fifteen off the coast of Northern

159
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, the residents of Alert Bay,

160
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>which is a remote and private community on Cremorant Island,

161
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>had their own experiences with frightening sounds and screams coming

162
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>from the surrounding woods. The residents reported not only screams

163
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>and shrieks, but strange howls emanating from the forests nearby

164
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the area. This wasn't anything new, as these type of

165
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 1>events have been being reported and talked about among the

166
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>locals for years, but in this case, the strange noises

167
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>had become much more pronounced. It was so loud it

168
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 1>was alarming, and the screams reverberated seemingly out of the

169
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>trees and throughout the small community. The residents were understandably

170
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>terrified and even feared for their lives. There are no bears, deer,

171
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>or cougar's on this little island, and therefore it was

172
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 1>that much more terrifying for all who heard it. One

173
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 1>local man named Rod Alfred reports, quote this summer, I've

174
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 1>heard it three times. I've heard it scream three times,

175
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 1>but it's been coming here for years with that volume.

176
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely no dog can make that kind of a noise

177
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>with that volume end the quote. Most likely not a

178
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 1>coincidence is the fact that this particular island is home

179
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of many sasquat sightings, which lead many to believe that

180
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>this is what's making the terrible racket. Others believe it's

181
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>simply stray dogs lost and scared, but nobody knows for sure.

182
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Very similar reports came in in twenty seventeen was something

183
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 1>howling loudly throughout the woods and reverberating through the community

184
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>of Morristown in central British Columbia. Most residents believed it

185
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 1>was simply an elk, but at least one man begged

186
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 1>to differ. He stated, I've lived in the country most

187
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 1>of my life and been hunting every year for the

188
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 1>last twenty three I ever felt a sound like these before.

189
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't someone like this man, who had so much experience

190
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>with hunting animals in these very woods, know the difference

191
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>between not only which animals were making sound, but of

192
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>which sounds belong and which don't. And the fact that

193
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 1>he said he felt the sound rather than heard it,

194
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 1>that gives us an idea of the reverberation involved. Once again,

195
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>we leave it up to you to speculate. The eerie

196
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 1>screaming and shrieking in the woods of northwestern Ontario are

197
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>not at all uncommon either. Seasoned hunter and resident of

198
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a place called Sue Lookout, whose name is Genomeekus, reported

199
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 1>what he went through while out camping with his wife

200
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 1>and grandson back in October of twenty nineteen. While at

201
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>first they thought they were hearing a simple moose, they

202
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>soon reconsidered and here's what Gino had to say of

203
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 1>the event. Quote. When it let out the first scream,

204
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a moose, but my mind changed

205
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 1>when it screamed again and again. I've heard many different

206
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>animals in the wild, but nothing like this. I grew

207
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>up hunting with my grandma father for the first twelve

208
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 1>years of my life. We could hear it moving. It

209
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 1>sounded kind of heavy. My wife got scared. She picked

210
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>up our grandson and started walking fast toward the vehicle.

211
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>He posted a recording of the sounds somewhere on the

212
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Internet along with his report of what he experienced, and

213
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 1>wildlife officials have allegedly listened to their recording, but were

214
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 1>of the opinion, at least mainly that the sounds had

215
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>originated from a large mammal such as a bear or

216
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 1>a wolf. Officially, though, no one, including these so called experts,

217
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>had been able to come to a definitive conclusion as

218
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to what in the world they were hearing. This isn't

219
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>an isolated incident either. There have been several reports of

220
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>strange noises emanating from the woods in the same vicinity

221
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>of Geno Meekus encounter around the same time. The noises

222
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>are almost always described in the same way, and when recorded,

223
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 1>sound like the exact same creature or entity could be

224
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>making them, but no one knows for sure, and still

225
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it remains a complete and total mystery, even as more

226
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>reports pour in from that area and areas just like

227
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it throughout the world to this very day. Richfield, Minnesota,

228
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 1>is another area that seems to be menaced by other

229
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>worldly house and shrieks around town, of course, coming from

230
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the surrounding woods. Terrified locals reported several instances in twenty

231
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty alone. One witness described the noise as a weird

232
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>crowing scream. These same sounds were heard by countless witnesses

233
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>over the course of four or five nights and it stilledged.

234
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 1>The sounds only came between three and four in the morning,

235
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and they would mysteriously adjust as suddenly as they had

236
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 1>started stop. Wildlife officials who stated that the sounds have

237
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>come from young bar do owls, raccoons, red foxes, or

238
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.039
<v Speaker 1>even a dying rabbit. Many who have heard the noises

239
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>think that they are reaching. There's some who think that

240
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the authorities and wildlife officials know exactly what it is

241
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 1>that's causing such a stir and terrifying the locals, but

242
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 1>that they are keeping it to themselves in the hopes

243
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of avoiding a public panic or outcry. They are very

244
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>well known in recent reports strange sounds like the ones

245
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>aforementioned that come from approximately twenty five miles away from

246
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 1>the major city of Portland, Oregon, in a suburban area

247
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>called Forest Grove, which lies within the Tuwaalatan Valley and

248
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>the surrounding woods and forests. The town is small and

249
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>rural and was originally established as a farming community. Its

250
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 1>population is just over twenty thousand people. It's considered a

251
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>peaceful place. I've been there and it's usually out of

252
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 1>reach of the noise and crime of the nearby big city. However,

253
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>in twenty sixteen, the peacefulness and quietness of this little

254
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>haven were broken, and rather abruptly, when its residents started

255
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>hearing what was described as an unearthly, loud, shrieking noise

256
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>which seemed to come blowing right out of the surrounding

257
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>countryside at night time. No one could explain it, and

258
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>even the most seasoned hunters and woodsmen in the area

259
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>had no idea what in the world could be creating

260
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>such a sound. These reports actually made headlines nationally, but

261
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 1>even so called experts couldn't figure out what the source was.

262
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Many residents heard the sounds, and it was described several

263
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 1>different ways, though everyone agreed they were scared out of

264
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>their wits by them. The noises were described as, among

265
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 1>other things, a steam whistle, metal scraping its metal, a

266
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>siren that's gone off kilter, a banshet were similar moaning

267
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and mechanical screams. Despite the differing descriptions of what was

268
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 1>being heard, all who heard it agreed on one thing.

269
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 1>The sounds were eerie, seriously intense, and very nerve wracking.

270
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Not only did the screams keep the human residents awake,

271
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>but it seemed to have some sort of effect on

272
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 1>their pets as well. Domestic animals would run in circles,

273
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 1>cry incessantly, and generally seemed to be driven crazy by

274
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was. But ask where the sounds were coming from,

275
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the answers were also very interesting, with some saying it

276
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 1>was coming from the middle of the streets outside their homes,

277
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>others saying it came from the woods, and others still

278
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.919
<v Speaker 1>said the noises were originating from their own backyards. When

279
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the noises were put on the internet, they created quite

280
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.120
<v Speaker 1>a stir with everyone trying to be the one to

281
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>figure it all out once and for all, of course,

282
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>to no avail. The resident named Dave Neemeyer, who was

283
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 1>also the fire marshall Force Grow Fire and Rescue, set

284
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>out on his own investigation of the sounds, and he

285
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 1>stated about them, quote, it's definitely a horrendous noise. I

286
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what the noise is. The residents described

287
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 1>to us that it was coming from the middle of

288
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the street. To me, it sounds like the sound of

289
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.159
<v Speaker 1>train tracks, that metal screeching sound. But there are no

290
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.840
<v Speaker 1>train tracks near her home, so that's obviously ruled out.

291
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.759
<v Speaker 1>End quote and of course, as quickly as the noises started,

292
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 1>they stopped, and we are left with nothing but a

293
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>few sound clips on the Internet and speculations as to

294
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>what could have made those sounds. There are very few

295
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>simple theories as to the mysterious sounds of force growth,

296
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and some say they are perhaps oversimplified in these explanations.

297
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Some of them were leaky pipes, earthquakes, faulty attic fans,

298
00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 1>malfunctioning valves, faulty heat pumps, wildfires, and of course Squatch himself.

299
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>There was also a lot of talk of possible UFOs

300
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>just to here and somehow creating the noises. Still, all

301
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 1>this and all were left with nothing conclusive and tons

302
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of speculation, rumor theory, and oddball ideas. Could it have

303
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 1>been the intention of whatever it was to lure the

304
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>residents of this city and all the other witnesses, for

305
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, into the forest in question? The victims slash

306
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>witnesses were seemingly as different as different can be, and

307
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 1>there can be no connections made throughout the whole of them.

308
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 1>We might never know what things go bump in the night, blurt, stalk,

309
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>and roam the woods and forests of our world, Nor

310
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>could we know what is creating the awful and terrifying,

311
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes mind numbing sounds they create, and or why they

312
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 1>only seem to be heard some of the time. It's

313
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 1>one of the great mysteries of this community. As always,

314
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 1>we look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter

315
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 1>in the comment section, but please keep it friendly and

316
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>respectful till we meet again. Be good to yourself and

317
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>each other. Don't go in the woods after those scary noises.

318
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>As for me, I'll see a little further on down

319
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the trail. I'm not going after the noises either. I'm

320
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Steve Stalkton and I'll talk to you next time. And

321
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>don't forget to tell your animals I said hi.
