1 00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: In the mid nineteen eighties, I worked the graveyard shift 2 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,039 at a factory at Ohio, cleaning the floors, emptying trash cans, 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,719 and cleaning up bathrooms. I stayed with a friend and 4 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,879 her family, and I used her car to get to 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,719 work until I was able to buy my own. One night, 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,640 I realized too late that no one had remembered to 7 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,079 put gas in the car. The gas stations were closed, 8 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,479 and I was on a wing and a prayer, hoping 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,920 I had enough fuel to get to work and back home. 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,679 I made it to work, I worked my shift, and 11 00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,840 I headed home, but as I turned onto the road 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,280 to the house, the car started to sputter. I had 13 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:50,600 run out of gas. Well, I got out and I 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,119 started the three quarters of a mile walk home in 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,119 the dark. I could see a little by the moonlight 16 00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,280 and some light from porches, but that was all. As 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,119 I walked, I heard something walking in pace with me 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,760 in the woods to my left. I looked and all 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,079 I could see was pitch black dark. So I kept going, 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,200 thinking it was probably a fox or raccoon or something 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,920 like that. But the farther I went, the more nervous 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,239 I became, and at one point I stopped and stared 23 00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:24,000 right into the woods, hoping that I would catch what 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,439 or who was walking with me. When I stopped walking, 25 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,040 so did they, and when I moved forward, they did too. 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,400 After stopping a couple of times, my imagination began flashing 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,200 in every possible way, knowing I could be in danger 28 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:45,040 of death on that country back road. When I walked 29 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,640 past the family's house to my right, their dog ran 30 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,000 to the edge of the ditchline, barking and snarling at me, 31 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:54,799 as if I wasn't already on edge. The thought of 32 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280 that dog about to jump the fence and attack me 33 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,040 sent my heart beating into my throat. Well I picked 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,120 up my pace, I got past the dog, and a 35 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,799 few steps later I heard the dog yelp. I look back, 36 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:12,360 but what I saw was nothing. Whatever or whoever had 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,520 been following me from the woods stopped. When I reached 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,879 the driveway of the place that I was staying. I 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,120 wanted to take off, running for the door, but I 40 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:23,919 held back the urge, knowing that that would only cause 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,400 a bear or a big cat to chase after me 42 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:30,199 an attack. So instead, I walked as fast as I 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,840 could and I got inside. To this day, I don't 44 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:37,919 know what was in those woods pacing me, and I'm 45 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,360 grateful to say that I was not harmed. I don't 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,479 recall ever hearing about bigfoot back then, so it never 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,039 entered my mind. I don't care if others believe in it, 48 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,039 but personally I'm a skeptic. To each their own, I say. 49 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,759 But with that said, after that night, I made sure 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,199 the gas tank was full whenever I went to work. 51 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,599 I wasn't going to walk home on a dark road 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,439 in the middle of the night. Ever. Again, Oh dude, 53 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,280 I wouldn't either. I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,479 not afraid of the dark woods. I go walking in 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,159 the woods at night and dark and turn a flashlight 56 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800 off and just follow a trail that I know. It's 57 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,800 really peaceful, but in a strange place, walking down a 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,800 just totally black road, you can't even make out where 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840 you're walking. I've had to do that a couple of times, 60 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,400 and it is just a bit unnerving. I don't know why, 61 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:33,120 because there's nothing out there at night that isn't out 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000 there during the day. Everything is basically the same. I 63 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,199 guess you have nocturnal animals, but at least where I 64 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,840 live there's nothing that There's really nothing out there that'll 65 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,840 hurt a human, although we are getting more bears in 66 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:49,120 our area. I live in North Mississippi and there have 67 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:54,680 been reports recently, especially over in the Delta, of black bears. 68 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:57,520 Black bears have been in Mississippi for years and their 69 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,520 population is growing. Actually kind of glad about that. What 70 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:05,159 a cool animal. Anyway, great story. I appreciate you sending it, sir, 71 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,439 Thank you. My dad told me his bigfoot encounter on 72 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,120 his deathbed. He had kept it a secret all his life. 73 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:19,279 He had a tumor on his neck that made him 74 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,439 unable to talk, and he told me in a raspy whisper, 75 00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:26,439 comes down, Sun, I need to tell you something important. 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,199 It was in the mid eighties in southern Arkansas. My 77 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,959 dad was still a young man. He had been working 78 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,399 in a swamp doing some surveying. It was just him 79 00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:39,519 and his partner out there. The swamp was wide open, 80 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,360 with cypress trees sticking up everywhere. He was wearing waiters 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,319 waist deep, and when he looked across the pond he 82 00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:51,560 saw something. It was a big harry something. It was 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560 standing wiste deep one hundred and fifty yards away. In 84 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,279 the deep water in the middle of the swamp. The 85 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,639 water where this thing was staying was about five feet deep, 86 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,040 which made this guy around ten feet tall. It was 87 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,160 standing still, and it hadn't noticed my dad. It was 88 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:13,240 fishing with its bare hands, successfully letting the fish get 89 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,319 close all around its legs like it was just another 90 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,199 tree in the water, before reaching down and snatching them 91 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,120 with his hands. Well, my dad froze. He couldn't believe 92 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,240 what he was seeing. Not knowing what was going on, 93 00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:29,120 my dad's partner called out, hey, Johnny, where are you at. 94 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,199 It snapped my dad out of shock, and he turned 95 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,959 around and waved his arms in the air quickly and 96 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,079 motioned for the other guy to shut up and come over. Well, 97 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,240 the big hairy guy heard the shouting. He locked eyes 98 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,480 with them, and he ripped through the deep water like 99 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,759 it was nothing. It was gone almost instantly, and my 100 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:51,680 Dad was pissed off at his partner for scaring the 101 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560 monster off. He cussed him out the whole way back 102 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,120 to town. My dad kept that story to himself until 103 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,839 he was dying and was running out of time to 104 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,399 tell it. I always held that story near and dear 105 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:07,879 to my heart because I know for a fact nobody 106 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,439 else ever got to hear it, not even my mother. 107 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,600 He died when I was still a young boy, but 108 00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,639 when he told me what he saw, it burned into 109 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,480 my memory. Thank you for reading his story. I wanted 110 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,000 to honor my father by sharing it with folks who 111 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,879 can appreciate it. And then he signs his name. I'm 112 00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:29,199 not going to say his name, but yeah, people on 113 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,160 this podcast that listen to this podcast will appreciate that story. 114 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,519 I don't think I've ever heard. Every once in a 115 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,480 while I get something new. A lot of these bigfoot 116 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,959 stories they kind of run together, and it's kind of 117 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,160 the same thing. I'm not saying that in a negative way, 118 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:48,199 but you know, the behavior apparently is the same, and 119 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,800 people see the same or they interpret what they see 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,360 the same. But I've never heard of a bigfoot fishing 121 00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,399 with its bare hands in the water. That is interesting. 122 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:01,720 So he stands there in his legs or like tree trunks, 123 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,439 and fish are drawn to cover like trees and stumps 124 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,199 and anything different than open water, and they congregated around 125 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,319 his legs and he reaches down and gets one and 126 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,680 gets supper. I thought that was pretty cool, but I 127 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,000 can imagine that scares your dad and he I can 128 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,879 hear him cussing the guy. Man, why'd you scare that 129 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,519 monstra off? I was looking at him. This was a 130 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,399 great story. Thank you to the writer for sharing your 131 00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:29,839 dad's memory, and I'm glad he told you about it. 132 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,759 That's a pretty cool memory for a son. Thank you 133 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,240 for sending it to me. Years ago, my big sister 134 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,439 had been driving ATVs around the farm with some other friends. 135 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,279 This time I got to sit on the back and 136 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:50,319 go with her. One of our cousins had made a 137 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,639 figure eight course in the dirt for the four wheelers, 138 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,199 and on that day my older sister and I were 139 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,639 the only ones on it. We were coming around a 140 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040 curve when my sister and I simultaneously looked over on 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,160 the adjacent trail. There was another person on an ATV 142 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,279 driving along with us. There was something strange and transparent 143 00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:16,560 about this other rider. We were going the same speed, 144 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:18,959 so when we lost him behind the shrubs on the 145 00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:22,399 way to where the figure eight intersects it, we slowed 146 00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,279 down so as not to crash into him, but it 147 00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:30,360 never came around. My older sister, confused, she turned off 148 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,240 the flour wheeler and We sat in silence, and the 149 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,399 wood had gone silent too, as if it was holding 150 00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:41,600 its breath with us. After a few minutes and hearing nothing, 151 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,879 my sister turned the four wheeler back on and drove 152 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,399 through the corn fill and parked us in the garage. 153 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,360 My twin walked up to greet us and asked what 154 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,159 was wrong. But my sister's pale face wasn't what shocked us. 155 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720 It was what she said, no one needs to be 156 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,879 out in those woods today, and with that she hung 157 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,799 up the keys and went into the house. My twin 158 00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,320 and I were so young that we didn't understand it 159 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,600 at the time, and I had forgotten all about it. 160 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,799 And then one Thanksgiving when we were grown up, our 161 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,159 older sister got drunk and she told our whole family 162 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,480 what had happened. We had borne witness to the ghost rider. 163 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,080 As we grew up, our older sister got into sports 164 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,919 and she made a lot of friends. One of these 165 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,159 friends name was Rachel, and Rachel was awesome. Big sister 166 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,720 was often mean during her pubescent years, but her friends 167 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,440 were always nice and they got a huge kick out 168 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960 of my twin sister and me. It was late morning 169 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,879 in the middle of our Thanksgiving break and we went 170 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,960 out around one of three pump wells on my father's property. 171 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240 The furthest one was out in the woods. We were 172 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,080 all on our dad's new four wheeler, which had a 173 00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:00,240 sled attached to the back with a tractor strap up 174 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,960 so none of us girls got left out of the fun. 175 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,360 We were halfway around the circle that went around the 176 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:10,799 pump jack when, for absolutely no reason, the new four 177 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,279 wheelers shut off. Right as that happened, the sound of 178 00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,639 laughter from three different women started echoing from somewhere deep 179 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,080 in the woods. My older sister and her friend Rachel 180 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360 started to panic. My sister turned the key, but the 181 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,919 engine wouldn't turn over. The two minutes it took to 182 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,039 get it restarted felt like two hours, but the four 183 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,200 wheeler finally came back to life. She and Rachel sped 184 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,039 off as fast as that thing would go, and it 185 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,000 wasn't until they were halfway back to dad's house that 186 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,840 they realized my twin sister and I were no longer 187 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:49,720 attached to the back. Somehow, the tractor strap had come 188 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,080 undone and we were still at the pump jack. I 189 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,919 watched the older girls leave and we yelled at them 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,000 and tried to make them stop. The whole time, the 191 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,679 sound of these terrors women laughing was creeping closer. I 192 00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:07,000 jumped out of the sled and grabbed the rope and 193 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,840 started dragging my sister out of the woods. I made 194 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,759 it to the end of the trees when my older 195 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,960 sister pulled around on the four wheeler. Finally, I quickly 196 00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:20,200 hooked the tractor strap back and barely managed to jump 197 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,799 on when she sped as fast as she could out 198 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:27,720 of there. After that, we all went back inside, silent 199 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,120 and completely shaken. We didn't talk about it again until 200 00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:35,399 we were older, and to this day we all remember 201 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,080 it the same. Our family had a big shed behind 202 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,720 dad's house with a bathroom and a washer and a 203 00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:46,320 drawer for work clothes. All the men in our family 204 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,440 were farmers, but they also had a business building oil 205 00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:54,039 rigs on properties all over Ohio. If you see a 206 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,559 green pump jack in our state, it was probably built 207 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,200 by someone in my family. We were outside late one night, 208 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,039 riding bikes around the vehicles in the shed and sliding 209 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,759 around on the ice and the snow. We always had dogs, 210 00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,519 and our oldest one, Jackson, was the calmest and laziest 211 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,720 of them all. Well, that night he was acting strange. 212 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,519 He and Duchess, our other dog, were following us around 213 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600 and hurting us and keeping us in the light as 214 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,919 far away from the back of the shed as they could. 215 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480 At one point, our older sister saw a strange bear 216 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,360 like creature peering at us from around Dad's car, and 217 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,080 at that moment, Jackson and Duchess went balkers. They were 218 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,759 growling and barking. Well, as a young kid, I was terrified. 219 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,639 This happened in between seeing the ghost rider and hearing 220 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,000 the three witches, so needless to say, it was a 221 00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:55,519 memorable time. Well, my twin ran into the house and 222 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,559 she got Dad, who was in the shower, and not 223 00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,720 a minute later he came out of the house in 224 00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:05,080 his robe and his boxers. He was holding a shotgun 225 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,840 and he was angry, and we tried telling him what 226 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:10,399 had happened, and he brought us in and he made 227 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,519 us go to sleep. Years passed, and strange things going 228 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000 on around the house. Late at night while our father 229 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:21,200 was at work. We would be sitting in the living 230 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,559 room and we would hear screams outside, or something would 231 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:26,720 jump on the front porch and it would rock the 232 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:30,600 whole house at night. I was afraid of going into 233 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,159 our kitchen because of the windows. Always got the feeling 234 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,120 that something was hiding in the dark looking at us. 235 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,679 My twin was always brave, though. One night she ran 236 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,440 out of the house with nothing but a bow and arrow, 237 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,360 trying to figure out who was outside and looking at 238 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,320 us and rocking the house. It wasn't until years later 239 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,360 that we figured out what it was. My sisters and 240 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,200 I were all sitting on the couch when the house 241 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,120 started shaking. I could hear something roaring and stomping outside. 242 00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:06,799 Not long before, the owner of the private zoo there 243 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,759 but I committed suicide and released all of its animals. 244 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,720 We figured the noise was one of his lions. I 245 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,080 remember reading about this. This story terrified me. Anyway, Sorry 246 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,519 to interrupt the story. My twin and I walked outside 247 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:24,480 to check it out, and we immediately felt that something 248 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,159 was off. We reached the end of our yard where 249 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:32,639 the gravel began, and something screamed. Wasn't exactly human, but 250 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,600 it didn't sound like any animal we'd ever heard before. 251 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,559 My sister and I froze, and then the scream finally 252 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,159 came to an end, and we walked to the cornfield 253 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,759 to get a look over. In that area, the corn 254 00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,000 was at its full height, in just a week or 255 00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:52,000 so away from being harvested. As we stood there quietly 256 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:55,399 looking around, something stood up in the middle of the field, 257 00:14:55,879 --> 00:15:00,000 and it towered over the corn. I'm not kidding you. 258 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,679 My sister, as brave as she was, left me standing 259 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,399 right there. By the time I finally got my wits 260 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,039 about me, she had already made it through the garage 261 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960 store and into the safety of the house, and at 262 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000 that time I was still recovering from a broken hip. 263 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,080 So I hopped my way to the garage door as 264 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:21,399 fast as I could, and I locked it, and I 265 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,960 stared out the window to see if it had followed me. 266 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,720 I yelled at my twin for leaving me for dead, 267 00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:30,840 but our older sister didn't want to hear anything about it. 268 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,919 She had seen this thing before. One time in the 269 00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,639 woods behind the pasture, the three of us had been 270 00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:43,120 playing in a tipped over silo. Our older sister was 271 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,960 watching a rabbit being chased by a fox when she 272 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,720 suddenly paled and ushered us twins into the silo. We 273 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:53,919 sat there in silent fear as she whispered to us 274 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,039 what she saw. Something else was chasing the fox and 275 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,480 the rabbit, something unnatural, something tall and hairy and terrifying. 276 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,879 We stayed there for about an hour and stunned silence, 277 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:10,879 before we had the courage to run to the adults. 278 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,559 Our older sister told them what she saw, but no 279 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,759 one believed her. We didn't know what we had seen 280 00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:22,960 until we went to Kentucky to visit my family. Our 281 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,200 older sister told our aunt what happened, and she said 282 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,000 it sounded like a bigfoot. I got on her computer 283 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,559 and I found sounds and pictures and stories of other 284 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,200 people's encounters with this creature. I found one particular bigfoot 285 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480 scream that made the hair stand up on the back 286 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:43,679 of my neck. My twin was there too, and both 287 00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:47,080 of us had tears in our eyes. We had heard 288 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,000 that horrible scream before. Now. Since then, I've had many 289 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,919 run ins with other cryptids, and I tell everyone who 290 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,440 will listen what I've seen. I don't blame you if 291 00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:02,480 you don't believe me. These stories are true. And she 292 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,440 signs off. Let's see if she says not to say 293 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,559 her name, doesn't say so. She signs off, Amanda, Man, 294 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,160 that's like a lifetime of weird experiences with the ghosts 295 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,559 and cryptids and even exotic animals. I remember reading about 296 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,880 that story up in Ohio where the owner let all 297 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,839 of his lions and tigers and all that kind of 298 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,920 stuff just let it out in the area and then 299 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:34,839 committed suicide. And I think law enforcement had to come 300 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,359 in and kill all of these animals. And these were like, 301 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,240 these are man eaters that this person let out. I 302 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,079 don't personally me, I don't think anyone should be allowed 303 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,720 to keep that kind of animal in their house or 304 00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:56,079 on their property. They're just They're just death machines, is 305 00:17:56,079 --> 00:18:00,319 what they are. That's a whole other topic that I'm 306 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,160 really interested in, but I won't get into it here. 307 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,279 But that kind of struck me in this story, along 308 00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,720 with all her other experiences. I'm surprised there wasn't more 309 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,759 in this story about all those animals getting loose, because 310 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,680 that is a fascinating story. Biway, Amanda, thank you for 311 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,640 sending the story. It was wonderful. I really appreciate it. 312 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:28,720 Thank you. I am a Native American woman, and although 313 00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:32,480 my encounter happened almost twenty years ago, it is as 314 00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:36,119 clear in my mind as if it happened just yesterday, 315 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,440 and I'm sure it always will be. I've lived my 316 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,079 life doing things off grid, and usually as far out 317 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:47,319 in the wilderness as I can go. I've climbed to 318 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,880 the summit of the mountains and stayed twelve thousand feet 319 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,279 in a tent by myself for a month, and I've 320 00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:58,079 slept in the snow just for fun. I'm that woman 321 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,200 who usually can't find any friends to go camping with 322 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,359 me because no one wants to rough it as far 323 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,359 out as I go. You would think that I would 324 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,319 have had my encounter in one of these remote places 325 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,160 on one of my excursions, but I didn't. I came 326 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,400 across this being right smack dab in the middle of 327 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,039 the day, right off a crowded beach full of swimmers 328 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,640 in northeastern Washington. I had gone kayaking with my kids, 329 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,279 my sister in law and her kids at a large 330 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,640 wilderness lake by the Canadian border. We stopped at a 331 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,079 crowded beach at midday so that we could eat our 332 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,599 lunch and stretch our legs, and while we were there, 333 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,440 my sister in law and I both felt extremely uneasy 334 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,000 and we decided not to stay long. She and I 335 00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:49,039 joked about a serial killer in the area and tried 336 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:51,799 to make light of our unease, but at the same 337 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,960 time we made it a point to tell the kids 338 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,519 to go in in pairs if anyone had to use 339 00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:00,400 the outhouse. She and I also went to yeah, and 340 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,440 I remember feeling like I was going to be pounced 341 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,559 on at any given moment while I guarded the outhouse 342 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,720 door for her. It had taken us hours to get there, 343 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,160 and we knew we were pushing our luck to make 344 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,480 it back before dusk, So after the kids had eaten 345 00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,200 and played in the water for a while, she loaded 346 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,440 them up in their boats and they all left together. 347 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,759 I lagged behind so I could eat my lunch and 348 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:28,680 sneak a much needed cigarette. I didn't intend on being 349 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,359 there too long, so I just pushed off the shore 350 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,640 in my boat and I sat in it while I 351 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:37,160 ate and had a smoke. I noticed that the beach 352 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,240 had emptied of the many families who were swimming, and 353 00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:44,480 I was now completely alone. Started feeling scared, so I 354 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,079 paddled out a few yards from the beach with the 355 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,559 thought in my mind that I had more than enough 356 00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:52,319 time to get away if something or someone tried to 357 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,799 swim out there to get me. That's funny, the stupid 358 00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:58,559 stuff that goes through your mind during times like this. 359 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,000 I was until I noticed off in the distance a 360 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,119 tall old man walking down a steep embankment with two 361 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,599 small boys ahead of him. He sat on a stump 362 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,720 under a rope swing about one hundred yards off the beach, 363 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,759 and he watched the boys while they tossed stones and 364 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:21,119 played at the water's edge. I decided to sit in 365 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,160 my boat offshore about twenty five yards to finish my 366 00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:28,119 lunch and watch them. But as I sat there, I 367 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,119 was beginning to let my imagination get the best of me. 368 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,799 I had given my life as to one of the kids, 369 00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:38,160 and since I'm a lousy swimmer, I decided to paddle 370 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680 over to the shore and stay within reach of it 371 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:44,319 while I made my way back around the lake. I 372 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 kayaked over to the bank and headed into the direction 373 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,880 of my family, who were now about a quarter of 374 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,079 a mile ahead of me in big water. I had 375 00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:55,839 to pass right by this old man along my way. 376 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,720 He was sitting with his left leg crossed over his 377 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,119 all right, and his hands were clasped over his upper knee, 378 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960 and he was staring at me, slowly circling his foot 379 00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:11,000 in the air. As I got closer to him, I 380 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:14,000 noticed the two little boys had vanished, but I no 381 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,160 longer felt uneasy. In fact, I felt safe knowing he 382 00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,000 had his eyes on me so intently. I thought that 383 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:24,279 if there was something dangerous in the water and I 384 00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:27,759 accidentally rolled my boat, he would at least see it 385 00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:31,759 and maybe even rescue me. He never took his eyes 386 00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:34,799 off me. I waved to him to be polite, but 387 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,079 he didn't wave back. I thought he must not have 388 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,039 seen me wave and assumed that he was old because 389 00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:45,559 he was wearing a turtleneck sweater and long pants. It 390 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:47,920 was in the middle of August and it was such 391 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,160 a hot day that I figured he must be old, 392 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,160 as my father was old and had bad circulation. He 393 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,519 always wore clothes that seemed way too warm for the season. 394 00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:01,200 I waved at the old man again, but he still 395 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,519 didn't wave back, and then I knew he had seen 396 00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:07,599 me and was just being rude. So I smiled at 397 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,240 him anyway, And since I was only a few yards 398 00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:14,599 away and cruising slowly closer, I wanted to be friendly 399 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,559 and let him know that I was not a threat. 400 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,799 I approached him and saw that he was not an 401 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,519 old man at all. He was only in his mid forties. 402 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,400 His hair with salt and pepper, and his beard had 403 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,720 some streaks of gray. He was an extremely handsome, movie 404 00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:36,039 star quality man with perfect features. I was staring at 405 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,559 him with my jaw drop because people that attractive don't 406 00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:43,720 show up very often, especially in these parts. He seemed 407 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200 to have a gleam in his eyes that suggested he 408 00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:50,440 was enjoying my reaction to him. Now he wasn't glaring 409 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,799 at me, but he was squinting from the sun, and 410 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,880 even though his eyes were narrowed, I could still tell 411 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,119 he had large, thick lashes. His skin was dark tand 412 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,599 and he looked native. But he had a full, short, 413 00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:07,119 trimmed beard, and his shoulders were broad, and his chest 414 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:13,039 muscles and biceps were defined. He was absolutely perfect. I 415 00:24:13,079 --> 00:24:16,160 passed him just feet away, and I realized he was 416 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,839 not wearing a turtleneck. He wasn't wearing any clothes at all. 417 00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:24,359 He was completely covered in short, glossy, silver tipped hair. 418 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,920 I realized I was being rude for staring at him, 419 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,559 and I looked ahead of my boat, but I couldn't 420 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,240 unsee what I had just seen, and my curiosity got 421 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,880 the best of me, and when I looked back over 422 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,079 my shoulder at him, he stood up. If I wasn't 423 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,920 intrigued before, I was now he must have been at 424 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,839 least eight feet tall. It was unreal. Now I wasn't afraid. 425 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,160 I was just stunned, and my only thought was what 426 00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,720 kind of skin disorder must this man have? And why 427 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,559 was this insanely tall Newdess living clear out here in 428 00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:03,440 the middle the wilderness. I looked ahead of my boat 429 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,680 for a moment, and when I glanced back over my 430 00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:08,880 shoulder again, the man was gone. He had gone up 431 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,960 in the trees. By the time I caught up with 432 00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:14,640 my family, my sister in law brought to my attention 433 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:16,799 that a hunter had been walking at the top of 434 00:25:16,839 --> 00:25:21,000 the mountain on a huge open clearing alongside me. I 435 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,920 was in the water, and he was about a half 436 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,480 mile away. As the crow flies, he kept up with 437 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,839 my boat, and he walked looking down the mountain towards 438 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,319 me every few steps for the rest of the day. 439 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,839 He was far away that his body hair looked like clothing. Again, 440 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,119 though I didn't mention that detail to my family. By 441 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,519 the time I was loading up the boats in my truck, 442 00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:47,920 it was almost dark and we were exhausted. I kept 443 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,519 catching myself stopping and looking up into the darkness of 444 00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:53,599 the tree line at the edge of the lake every 445 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,240 few minutes because I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. 446 00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:00,599 Even though I didn't see him, I knew he was 447 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,400 there in the trees, that he was still watching me. 448 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,799 So I didn't tell the others what I saw because 449 00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:09,640 they would have laughed. I never once thought he was 450 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,160 a Sasquatch. I thought that was a myth told by 451 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,480 elders to keep kids from straying too far from camp. 452 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,119 I honestly thought he was just an attractive man with 453 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,200 some kind of skin disorder that caused excessive body hair, 454 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:28,920 and I set out to research that. I was perusing 455 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,200 the Internet searching for information when I came across an 456 00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,440 informative website. It was a forum of anomalies, and if 457 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,160 you told him your story, maybe they could help you 458 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,720 solve your mystery. I posted what I had seen, and 459 00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:45,880 I didn't think anything of it until I got a 460 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,759 phone call just a short while later. Within an hour, 461 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,160 my caller ID read US government. I picked up, thinking 462 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,960 something bad must have happened to a relative. The person 463 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,440 who answered said he wanted to talk to me about 464 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,119 the Sasquatch I had written about. I knew then that 465 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,359 I didn't want to talk to him, and I panicked 466 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,400 and I hung up. Did I really hear him say Sisquatch? 467 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,640 I eventually got up the nerve and I told my story. 468 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,039 And I received a lot of ridicule, even from my family. 469 00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:22,400 So I was held bent on finding anyone I could 470 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,920 talk to who would believe me. At the time, the 471 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,440 BFRO seemed to be the most trustworthy source, so I 472 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,519 told them my story and it wasn't long before I 473 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,160 was asked to be interviewed on several Bigfoot radio stations 474 00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:41,440 and speak at several conferences. I want to make one 475 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,119 thing clear. The man I saw was just that he 476 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,279 was a man. He was not a Nate. He was intelligent, 477 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,920 and even though he didn't speak to me, I could 478 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,759 tell he had a personality and a soul. I will 479 00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:58,799 admit with all my heart that when I looked into 480 00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:01,319 his eyes, I felt like I was looking at someone 481 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,039 who was superior to me in intelligence, kind of like 482 00:28:05,079 --> 00:28:09,680 a college professor, when you're just starting high school. I 483 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,960 don't tell a lot of people the details of this 484 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,000 encounter because the ridicule is unrelenting. Had I been terrified 485 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:20,799 by some hideous monster and barely made it out alive, 486 00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:24,519 I think people might accept my testimony more than they 487 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:28,319 do with my story. But that's not what happened. Though. 488 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:31,599 Since none of us are experts, I fail to see 489 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,839 how we can all learn about the diversity in these 490 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,839 beings by listening to each other. Instead, we shun the 491 00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,160 ones that don't fit the narrative. That's why I swallowed 492 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,720 my pride and shared with you what I saw. Thank 493 00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:49,240 you for reading my story. I realize it's different from 494 00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:51,960 most encounters, and I'm going to get flat for it, 495 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,920 but it's worth it to me to see if there 496 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,039 are others out there who have had similar encounters with 497 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,359 beings who were more human than animal. And she signs 498 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,920 off sincerely, two hawks laughing. She said at the beginning 499 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,359 she was a native woman, and that's her I'm sure 500 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,119 that's her native given name. I don't expect that you're 501 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,200 going to catch any flack from anybody that listens to 502 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,240 this channel. We've gotten rid of most of the crazy, 503 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,240 nasty people that make those comments. Two hawks laughing. I 504 00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:27,160 think if you this story maybe two years old, I 505 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,400 don't know. It's got sent to me a long time ago, 506 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,279 and I hope she's still listening and here's this. But 507 00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:34,319 I think if you'll read through the comments, you'll find 508 00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,039 that the people who watch and comment on this channel 509 00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:41,200 are just good people. They're not. You may see one, 510 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:44,480 and if I see one, I just ban them from 511 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,440 ever commenting again, because it's so useless. I mean, who 512 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,759 waste their time to make a nasty kind It just 513 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,759 makes it. It will never make sense to me. It 514 00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,480 will never make sense to me. But if I see one, 515 00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,359 I'll ban them from a comment. But I guarantee you 516 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,200 nine hundred and ninety nine out of thousand will be supportive, 517 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,000 will be understanding, and you may connect with someone who's 518 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:14,160 had a similar experience. So I'm so glad you sent 519 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,480 this in. This is a great story and you wrote 520 00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:20,319 it really succinctly and well and to the point, and 521 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:23,880 it was just a perfect story to read on this podcast, 522 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,119 And I hope you get some interaction with people who 523 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,839 you can connect with. It may have seen something similar. 524 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,880 I really hope that happens. So thank you to two 525 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:39,720 hawks laughing for sending this story. Okay, I've got time 526 00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:43,720 to do another little short UFO experience and then we'll 527 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:47,160 wind this up. My husband and I had a UFO 528 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,599 siding when we were visiting the southern part of New Jersey. 529 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640 We were in the area from my father in law's 530 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,720 funeral and we were staying with our close friends. After 531 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:00,319 a day on the Jersey shore, a group of us 532 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,880 enjoyed our night together around the firepit. But as we 533 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,119 were getting ready to wrap up the night, we saw 534 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,680 flashes in the sky and surrounding trees. Well, we started 535 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,559 to investigate and we headed to the front of the property, 536 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,400 assuming it was lightning or fireworks, even though there were 537 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,279 hardly any clouds in the sky. We settled around the 538 00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:23,519 fire pit in the backyard again and we looked at 539 00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,759 the sky, and that's when we saw a UFO shaped 540 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,839 object highlighted in a cloud from the light of the moon, 541 00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:36,160 and it moved and descended at incredible speeds, and just 542 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,279 as we were wrapping our heads around what we were 543 00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:42,440 looking at, it vanished. It was as amazing as it 544 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:46,000 was unsettling. Thank you for your channel, and for sharing 545 00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:49,640 all the stories you do. That was a little short story, 546 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,759 but no less amazing to the person who sent this up. 547 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,559 As much as a bigfoot, I would love to see 548 00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,440 something like that. You don't, She didn't. They didn't actually 549 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,279 see lights, They actually saw the craft and then boom 550 00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:09,680 it was gone. To me, that's fascinating, fascinating stuff. Anyway, 551 00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:12,480 I wanted to squeeze one more in thank you all 552 00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:16,319 for listening to this podcast. I really appreciate you. We'll 553 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:18,720 have more to come this week and we'll see you 554 00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:21,000 when we get another one done, and that'll be soon. 555 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,759 Thank you all.
