I don't know 28 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:21.439 how it did it? Okay, Damn, I'm really confused. All 29 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.239 I saw was my dog coming over the fence and 30 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.400 name was dead once you hit the grill. I didn't 31 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.319 see any cars. All I saw was my dog coming 32 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:46.959 over the fence. Sat, what are you reporting? We got 33 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:57.640 some wonder or something crawling around out here? Did you 34 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.560 see what it was? It was enough out here looking 35 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.359 M new to window now and I don't see anything. 36 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.840 I don't want to go outside this point. You're Kara, 37 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.360 New York. Hello, hit somebody out here? What que I'm 38 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.439 out there. It's thought of a bit of about sixty 39 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.159 ft nine. I don't know easy, I'm out there. Yeah, 40 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.199 I'm right away. 41 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.800 Oh, thanks for joining me today. What I wanted to 42 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.560 share with you cous from Jonah. Jonah shared this with 43 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.360 me last year. He didn't want I shared publicly, but 44 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.719 he reached out touch base with me, re shared the 45 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.039 story with me, gave me a permission to share it 46 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.240 with y'all, So that's what I'm gonna do. Jonah just 47 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:44.000 retired at sixty three years old. This was his uncle's 48 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.560 story that he heard several times as a kid and 49 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.919 has been to this cabin. It's outside of Prince Will's 50 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.599 Island on another little remote island. This particular cabin his 51 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.520 uncle built. He built it in stages. The first part 52 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.719 was just a very small shanty shack just big enough 53 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.159 for an old drum, converted into a wood stove, basically 54 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.039 just dried in enclosure. As he built onto it, it 55 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.439 ended up having slab wood on the outside. What slab 56 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.360 wood is how it sounds slabs of wood. When you 57 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.039 have one of those portable sawmills and you've cut them 58 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.479 into the dimensional lumber, you get pieces of slab and 59 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.400 what ends up happening is you stack them like this, 60 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.400 and then you stack other ones to fill the gaps. 61 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.439 He's been at the place going on fifteen years, spending 62 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.199 a lot of time except winters. Winters he would go 63 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.560 out of state for his regular job, work that regular job, 64 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.319 and just spend the rest of the time back up 65 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.000 here in Alaska. It was approximately in his tenth year there, 66 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.360 that strange thing started happening. He noticed that when he 67 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.759 would get there in the early spring in the mornings, 68 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.919 he was greeted by these scream type howls off in 69 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.560 the distance, and he just thought it was odd, and 70 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.439 he was like, I've never quite heard that before. It's 71 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.919 probably just some random animal cut in a trap. It's 72 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.639 mating call at spring or something. He was just excusing 73 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.000 me away. So Joanah's uncle just continued like that for 74 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.039 the next couple of years. After a couple of years 75 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.199 of that, he'd hear those screams in the spring and 76 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.120 then again in the fall, just before he was getting 77 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.720 ready to head back out of state for his regular job. 78 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.920 His uncle was an independent contractor. He didn't get into what, 79 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.800 but that's how he made his money working independently out 80 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.360 of state. After about two or three years of that, 81 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.199 his uncle said, the way he set up his cabin, 82 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.319 it was a little bit l shaped, and what I 83 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.800 mean by that is it stattered. He said. It was 84 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.160 fourteen foot wide twenty two foot long, and then if 85 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.360 you're facing the front door, off to the left hand side, 86 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.759 on the back side was an addition made as a bedroom. 87 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.920 So that's why it had an L shaped to it. 88 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.040 Over the years of building on it, from starting one 89 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.560 size and then expanding out, and then expanding some more, 90 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.560 he ended up with a few nine inch window panes 91 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.839 here and there to allow light in little windows, simple ones. 92 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.800 One of these particular windows ended up being in a 93 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.639 spot where he ended up putting a wood stove, so 94 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.519 the window was partially obscured by the stovepipe going out 95 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.800 through the roof. From what he was telling me, his 96 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.279 uncle where he would sit at this little table. So 97 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.079 if you go inside the door, first, you had to 98 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.720 go up about six steps up onto a very small deck, 99 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.040 a big enough for a launch air type chair and 100 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.639 a tiny car table for setting drinks down or whatever. 101 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.160 Very small. So you get up, you go inside the door, 102 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.600 which was centered. There was two of those nine inch 103 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.399 windows on the front side. When you go outside, there 104 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.959 was a table immediately to your left, a sink to 105 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.480 your right that just drained straight out into the floor 106 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.000 onto the ground. Straight ahead would be that wood stove, 107 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.079 some cabinets on the right, and that little doorway on 108 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.720 that left to that little bedroom of his. Behind that 109 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.680 wood stove was one of those nine inch windows. He said, 110 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.639 his uncle had a spot where he would sit at 111 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.279 that table and eat his meal. Now, outside of the 112 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.199 nine inch windows, there was a bigger window in the 113 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.839 bedroom and a bigger window on the right hand side 114 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.480 just past the little sink area, but before the back corner. 115 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.920 The other windows were just two foot by two foot, 116 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.439 not very big. His uncle had curtains over each and 117 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.360 every one except the nine inch window behind the woodstove 118 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.240 because it was obscured all the time. There was no need. 119 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.519 Plus he was so isolated he didn't have neighbors at 120 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.399 the time. He had no neighbors. Jones said. His uncle 121 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.879 would tell the story that his uncle's eating he's hearing 122 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.279 a weird almost like rain dropping on us one spot, 123 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.319 just but just like a weird drip noise. He's confused 124 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.600 by it, and he's just looking around. What's leaking? I 125 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.600 took my time doing the roof. I know the roof 126 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.800 is good. What's leaking? So he gets up and he 127 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.319 starts looking around. Now it's just before dark as this 128 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.079 is going on. As he's gone around looking around, he's 129 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.120 trying to figure out where's this leak coming from. He 130 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.920 passes by the window on the right hand side, just 131 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.279 past the sink. He's crossing the cab and going back 132 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.439 into the bedroom area to look for this league. As 133 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.759 he's gone by, he passes right in front of that 134 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.639 woodstove and out the corner of his eye he notices 135 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.079 something move out of that nine inch window space. So 136 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.800 immediately he startled. He jumps back, is trying to look 137 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.600 out the wind or what the hell was at trying 138 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.199 to look to see if maybe it was a tree, 139 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.560 and just by his movement made it look like something 140 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.879 was moving, but there was nothing there. It was just 141 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.120 part of a little hill that was just back behind 142 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.480 the cabin. So his uncle immediately armed himself, went out 143 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.120 down the little steps, went round the back of the 144 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.319 cabin looking for whatever was in the window, seeing nothing, 145 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.879 hearing nothing off in the distance or moving around, just 146 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.399 irreally quiet. He comes back inside, looks out each window again, 147 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.319 it just shrugs it off and continues to eat. The 148 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.319 dripping sound stopped after he's done eating and he puts 149 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.439 his stuff into the sink. His uncle told him that 150 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.879 he kept feeling like he was being watched, and he 151 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.319 got hyper paranoid about that little window in the back 152 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.279 behind that little stove fight because that's where he saw 153 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.920 the movement and that's where the feeling of being watched 154 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.399 was coming from. But every time he'd look, he wouldn't 155 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.240 see anything there. So he decides on to get one 156 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.360 of these old dish rags, one of these hand towels, 157 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.800 and pin it up over the window as getting in 158 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.399 the dark. At this point. It was early spring when 159 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.000 this happened, so it wasn't quite landed the midnight sun 160 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.680 yet it was working towards it. We were gaining daylight 161 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.319 during those times. As he's tacking up this hand towel, 162 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.639 he started hearing that dripping noise again, and he could 163 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.279 hear it coming from his left off into that little 164 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.679 bedroom area. Because of what he dealt with earlier. With 165 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.240 that dripping sound and there's something moving, he was putting 166 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.120 two and two together. It started feeling like he's being 167 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.960 toyed with krittish tacking up the little hand towel, turned around, 168 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.200 walked into that bedroom. He said his uncle used to 169 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.440 always pause for a long time when he was telling 170 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.080 this portion of it because he walks into the bedroom 171 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.039 immediately it was overcome by fear and dread. Knelt down, 172 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.440 squatted down and was leaning in the doorway against the doorframe. Now, 173 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.679 remember the only exterior walls. All they are is some 174 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.480 old rough cut lumber, dimensional timbers, first studs, these slabs 175 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.440 nailed to it. But that's all it is outside of 176 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.960 the main living area where there was some plywood underneath. 177 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.480 But the rest of it was built with the slab 178 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.200 wood because he had brought a little portable dimensional lumber 179 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.159 saw that ran on a track. He had bought it, 180 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.600 used and used it up until it died. Used those 181 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.080 pieces of slab to make the exterior for that little cabin. 182 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.960 So as he's sitting there and feeling sick, just this 183 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.279 hillacious banging starts just below the window. The window he 184 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.559 had in that room, this two foot by two foot 185 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.240 was above the bed. That banging was just below it. Now, 186 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.600 that portion of the cabin is pretty close to ground 187 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.960 level at the flour it was elevated a little bit 188 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.519 just because down to southeast there a lot of the 189 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.080 properties there immediately goes from beach to elevation Instantly. He 190 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.559 happened to have a place that had a little less 191 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.879 of the feord like steepness, but enough to where it 192 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.320 was still on the pilings in the front like little 193 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.480 stilts in the front for the very front of it, 194 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.120 the first ten feet of it or so. The rest 195 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.360 of it was right back on this type of landing 196 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.879 like a little step shelf. And as he's leaning against 197 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.200 that doorway, the banging started. Every time it was banging, 198 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.080 his uncle would say, he got scared. Finally he crippled 199 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.240 from fear for a moment. He snapped out of it, 200 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.879 got a shotgun, went out the door, stepped onto the 201 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.120 little deck, knocking over his little chair and card table 202 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.080 to get to the edge of the deck to see 203 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.600 around the corner towards that little space from the outside, 204 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.279 he just started pumping rounds into the air. Boom, boom, 205 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.720 went right back inside, shut the door. His uncle would say, 206 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.440 he couldn't stop shaking. He sat at that table and 207 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.519 was just shaking and didn't understand why, just couldn't understand 208 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.600 something was oppressive towards him. He gets calmed down after 209 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.279 a little while. It's on in the dark, and he 210 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.919 knows he needs to light his lantern so he can 211 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.159 have some light to see. He gets up, crosses the 212 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.240 little room and grabs the lantern off the sink area. 213 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.200 He lights the lantern, sets it on the table, sits 214 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.840 it there for a minute as he's trying to figure 215 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.480 out what he's doing. His uncle was confused at the time. 216 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.399 According to what his uncle was saying, he felt like 217 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.840 he had ten things to do but couldn't figure out 218 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.159 what they were. It was the type of confusion he 219 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.159 was dealing with. He realized, I just ran rounds to 220 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.480 my shotgun. I should reload it. So he starts looking 221 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.200 around for a shotgun shelves. His shotgun shells were right 222 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.639 on the table on a bowl in front of him. However, 223 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.840 being in this confused state, was wandering around the cabin 224 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.240 looking at all these obscure places where the AMMO would 225 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.480 never be. After doing that for a little bit, it 226 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.360 dawns on him it's right on the table in front 227 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.440 of where you were sitting. So he sits back down. 228 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.679 He calms himself down and reloads the shotgun, attempts to 229 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:04.679 go back into his room, and again, as soon as 230 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:09.279 he crosses into that little doorway, he's immediately gripped by fear. 231 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.960 He's like, something mat right, So he backs out, goes, 232 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.159 sits back at the table, and he's contemplating why is 233 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.519 this happening, just going through it in his mind what 234 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.879 is this? Is this some kind did I eat something bad? 235 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.559 Am I having hallucinations from bad food? Some kind of 236 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.360 food poisoning. Up till this point, he's only assumed he 237 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.159 saw something move in front of a window. There's banging 238 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.080 going on, and he's basically freaked out. He has nothing 239 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.960 seriously tangible outside of potential hallucinations because he's second guessing 240 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.559 everything going on in his world at that moment. According 241 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.600 to what Jonah was saying, his uncle stayed like that 242 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.799 for at least today, sitting at that table. The lamp 243 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.960 eventually went out. He just sat there in the dark 244 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.200 in a confused state. After that evening had passed, about 245 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.360 midday the next day, he is finally coming back into 246 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.440 his arm senses. As he was doing so, he got 247 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.320 that overwhelming sense of fear again. He stands up, he 248 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.679 looks around. He's not saying anything. So it being light outside, 249 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.399 he started flipping the curtains over, which were just old 250 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.240 towels and old pieces of cloth that were just tacked 251 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.039 over the window. So he was just taking them and 252 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.320 tucking them over the top so light could shine in. 253 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.159 He goes and opens them all up right. As he's 254 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:27.960 doing so, he keeps noticing after he passes each window, 255 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.120 almost like a dark shadow was moving as well, but 256 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.000 he just chopped it up as you're just paranoid from 257 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.720 what's been going on. There's nothing following you around this 258 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.919 cabin to each window that you're opening to make a 259 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.000 shadow right after you pass it. Very confusing to him, 260 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.879 so he ends up back in his bedroom no fear 261 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.519 this time. When he gets through the threshold, goes over, 262 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.559 opens that window up, is just looking at it for 263 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.600 a moment instead of turning and walking off like he 264 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.120 had done all the other previous windows. He'd stood there 265 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.639 just looking out. As he's doing so, this figure comes 266 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.279 in front of him and then immediately cuts back out. 267 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.639 According to what his uncle said, the figure was so 268 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.039 large that it took up all the window, and he 269 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.039 only saw hair and then no hair. It was so big. 270 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.320 He stumbles back, falls down, scurries out of the little room, 271 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.440 grabs a shotgun and runs outside to go and get 272 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.919 this whatever he was assuming he was probably a bear 273 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:25.799 stalking him to heat him, and that's why he was 274 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.840 so scared. He gets outside, nothing around. As he gets 275 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.799 up to the backside to where that little extended room is, 276 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.120 he hears thrashing through the trees going off and up 277 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.639 the mountain, but he calms down a little bid goes, Okay, 278 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.639 the bear knows I'm willing to defend myself, it'll probably 279 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.279 stay away, and then to him in his own mind, 280 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.679 that makes sense. There's a big bear, big predator around 281 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.039 the one a. I'm feeling antsy. I'm used to seeing him, 282 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:51.759 and I don't feel his antsy. But I guess me 283 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.120 not seeing it and just sensing the predator is what 284 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.919 made me scared. So he chalked it up when inside 285 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.720 felt a lot better. Was a lot Calmer continued on 286 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.519 with this day, doing his stuff and. 287 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.919 Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see we'll be 288 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.519 right back. 289 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:13.600 After these messages, kept aware that bear could be out 290 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.559 there and would listen every once a while before he'd 291 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.720 go out into the yard and tend to the outboard 292 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.159 and do some other stuff on his old skiff. That 293 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.799 day passes in a couple more pass with no incident whatsoever, 294 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.120 to where his uncle is calm, just being out in 295 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.799 the woods. He's back to his norm, calm himself, enjoying, 296 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.200 just loving being there in the isolation and his own area. 297 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.200 He ends up down at the beach down below his cabin. 298 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.240 He's basically beachcombing, and periodically they'd come across the glass 299 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.440 balls from the Korean fishing boats with the brailer mesh 300 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.279 over him and stuff like that. Sometimes he'd fine washed 301 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.200 up dead marine life. He was enjoying the whole reason 302 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.679 he had built a cabin there. He's going about this happy, 303 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.840 go lucky, no issues, no feelings, a dread. He always 304 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.759 had a shotgun with him. He gets about one hundred 305 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.720 yards down the beach, tid's starting to come in, so 306 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.320 he knows he's got about twenty minutes to get past 307 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.080 a certain group of rocks to where the shoreline cuts 308 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.159 up in further where the tide doesn't quite reach. So 309 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.679 he has safe walking as he's going back towards this spot. 310 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:16.240 These rocks that are the marker for him to know that, Hey, 311 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.559 once I get past these rocks to my left, I 312 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.000 will be above high tide mark and I won't have 313 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.720 to worry about getting caught out in the tide. Half 314 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.039 in the hike through all this dense crap, a lot 315 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.960 of devils clubs and some other stuff in the area. 316 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.399 As he comes and cuts back around these rocks. The bank, 317 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.960 it's got a cut edge where it's dug underneath, and 318 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.559 some of the vegetations hanging over, and there's some trees 319 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.600 leaning out and stuff like that he had cut off, 320 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.159 and there's just some stumps and stuff there. As it 321 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.759 comes around the rocks, he notices a bigger stump. Then 322 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.240 he knows is there, so he stops. He notices it 323 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.440 out of the car of eye and slowly turns and looks. 324 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.600 He said the stump was very large. It was a 325 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.000 cinnamon brownish color. It was very large. It had the 326 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.360 appearance of a tree stump. At the distance, which was 327 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.159 less than fifty yards. He hesitated for a moment and 328 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:08.359 just continued walking, thinking, Okay, bears don't look like tree stumps. 329 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.480 Bears will just sit there and look at you. They 330 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.720 don't try to mask themselves in any way. Bears aren't 331 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.440 that cunning. So he walks down and he knows he's 332 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.680 got roughly one hundred yards or so before the trail 333 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.319 that cuts back up to his cabin, getting more and 334 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.599 more paranoid by the step and getting more and more 335 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.960 fear amplified. He's walking along out of the corner of 336 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.640 his eye everyone saw this glance and not fully turning 337 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.440 his head, but just glancing off. At one point he 338 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.640 glanced over he saw this thing in the tree line 339 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.279 walking along, not stripe for stride, because it was far 340 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.000 larger than him. It was keeping pace with him, just 341 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.920 offset behind him a little waist. So he makes it 342 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.279 up to the trail and he knows this thing is there. 343 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.319 So when he comes around the little corner of brush 344 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.799 and stuff to get up on the truck, because he 345 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.440 had to climb the bank a little bit, he had 346 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.640 put some old drickwood stuff up against that little part 347 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.039 of the bank to make like a stair way. Wasn't 348 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.200 the best, but it worked for what it was. He's 349 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.200 negotiating that going up. He gets up it. He knows 350 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.799 this thing's going to be right off to his left. 351 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.599 So when he gets up to the top, he's pointing 352 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.640 the shot in that direction. Nothing there, absolutely nothing, because 353 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.839 once you break past that initial thick brush at the 354 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.559 shore line, it opens up a little bit, you know. 355 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:21.519 So once he got past that point he had the 356 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.640 shotgun ready, nothing there, no sign of anything. So he's, 357 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.559 holy crap, I'm driving myself crazy with this crap. Kaya 358 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.279 chuckles to himself. I'm imagining stuff I need to I 359 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.000 just need to take a break. I'm going to go 360 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.400 visit relatives Prince Well's Island. I'll go over there and 361 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.680 go visit for a little while and clear my mind 362 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.400 of this stuff. So he walks up to the cabin, 363 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.440 gathers up a bunch of stuff. He made a short list, 364 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.640 grab some of the containers he'd need for the gas 365 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.680 and stuff with the lantern fluid and all this kind 366 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.720 of stuff. So he's making his list. He's doing his thing. 367 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.519 He's at the table, gathering everything up, going through the checklist, 368 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.680 make sure he has everything. He sees dark shadow on 369 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.880 the floor from the two foot by two foot window 370 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.200 next to the sink. He's looking and doing his thing. 371 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.920 He noticed it's like a man, silhouetted, moving back and forth, 372 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.160 doing this little sway. The shadow sway on the floor. 373 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.960 He just thought it was the oddest thing. Again, he 374 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.920 amped up, immediately scared. However, he kept his cool to 375 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.400 try to make sure he was saying what he was 376 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.759 seeing and not just seeing things. He gingerly reaches down, 377 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.039 grabs a barrel of the shotgun that was leaning against 378 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.519 his little table, pulls it up keeping it obscured from 379 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.559 whatever is in the window, because it was still swaying 380 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.960 back and forth. The shadow was. As he's getting the 381 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.480 shotgun in the position to turn around and point out 382 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.440 the window, the shadow disappears just as he was getting 383 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.319 ready to turn. All of a sudden, the shadow was gone. 384 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.839 As he turned around, there was nothing there. He's motivated. 385 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.160 He grabs his stuff. He loads it up into the 386 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.319 old army duffel bag style, slings it over his shoulder, 387 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.720 has a shotgun, and goes on down to the beach. Now, 388 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.440 he had some outbore trouble, so his outboard wasn't attached 389 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.519 to his skiff. He had worked on a little bit 390 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.039 and it was up in a barrel on a little 391 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.440 stand to where he can operate it and make sure 392 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.440 it was functioning. And he had fixed it, he just 393 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.319 hadn't transferred it from the barrel back onto the skiff. 394 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.480 It was just a little twenty five horse motor. It 395 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.359 wasn't super heavy or anything, but he had to use 396 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:21.960 both arms to take it down to the skiff, and 397 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.240 he wanted to keep it upright. Being very hyper paranoid 398 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.759 at the time, he's looking all around. He's not seeing anything, 399 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.160 so he loosened up the little cleats that dig in. 400 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.160 He lifts it out. Now he's got his bag and 401 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.160
