We're flying through there, over 26 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.079 the tree. I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, 27 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.640 I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming 28 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.480 over the fence, and name was dead once you hit 29 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560 the grill. I didn't see any cars. All I saw 30 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:45.120 was my dog coming over the fence. Sat what are 31 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.959 you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around 32 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:58.640 out here? Did you see what it was? It was 33 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.560 enough out here looking through the window now and I 34 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.640 don't see anything. I don't want to go outside. Its point, 35 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.479 you're right, Tara, Hello, hit somebody out here? 36 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.719 What quent on out there? 37 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.159 It's thought of a bit of about sixty four nine. 38 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.199 I don't know easy, I'm out there, yeah, from right head. 39 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.159 Oh hey, Greening's friend Alaska. The share I'm sharing with 40 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.000 you guys today. This happened back in nineteen seventy eight. 41 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.840 Eric was on the cruiser team or something like that. 42 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.360 He was working for the Tongas National Force down in 43 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.560 Southeast Alaska on a particular two week off schedule that 44 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.719 they had, they decided they wanted to go to this 45 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.360 place called the Powers Creek. So Wolchel had told him 46 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.240 it was a beautiful place, good camping or whatever. But 47 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.080 when I was looking up this place on the map 48 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.520 to familiarize myself with the area, it's in the Endicott Arms. 49 00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.759 It's the Tracy arm Ford's Terror Wilderness area. Supposedly because 50 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.520 the guy got trapped in that inlet for six days 51 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.080 and icy waters, it couldn't get out. They went up 52 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.680 in there at this particular place there's little waterfalls and whatnot. 53 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.479 The elevation gains rather quickly where they were cutting back 54 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.599 in to camp out, hang out, just explore the area. 55 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.680 Southeast Alaska's beautiful. You can google this and that. 56 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:25.639 It's unreal beauty, untamed, wilderness, pristine. They get back up 57 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319 in there. The place they chose to camp was relatively 58 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:33.439 thick brush. They weren't necessarily near salmon return streams. They 59 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.240 were in a relatively bare free type of environment. None 60 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.599 of them were armed. They didn't have any bear spray. 61 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.479 They had some hatchets and shit like that. They get 62 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.120 their camp the first night, most peaceful Sleepy said he 63 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.639 ever had walk up to a beautiful morning. However, half 64 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.759 way through that day, he explained it sounded like the 65 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.199 original scream originated further down the Endicott arm in the inlet. 66 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.360 It was a hllacious scream, sound like they had never 67 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.240 heard at that point. He had been working in the 68 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.039 Tongas for less than a handful of years, but he 69 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.000 was seasonal and he would fly in and out, and 70 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.159 he had other things going on down in his home state. 71 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.479 He would come up work that as a passion job. 72 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.160 What he was passionate about being out in the wilderness 73 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.480 and Alaska's beautiful. 74 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:20.399 It was all over it. 75 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.519 Scream happens midday and they just look at each other 76 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.600 and chalk it up till that was weird when they 77 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.959 started naming off it was probably just a mountain lion 78 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.160 or something, and they debated. Anyway, they went on with 79 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.199 their day because it was at a distance away. It 80 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.680 was loud, but at a far enough distance to where 81 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.279 they weren't immediately concerned and it was easy to ride 82 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.480 it off as something. So they continue on. Now by 83 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.600 the end of the day, when they got back to camp, 84 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.079 because they didn't go far from camp, they were doing 85 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.800 small circles, just checking the area, working their way out. 86 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.519 The whole purpose was to explore. There was no fishing involved, 87 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.959 no hunting, none of that. There are three dudes just 88 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.160 wanting to check out the Alaskan wilderness see it with 89 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.519 their own eyes. And they stayed in a tight group. 90 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.879 They were smart enough they didn't wander off from each other. 91 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.959 They're basically doing this circle around, just checking out around 92 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.560 camp and hiking up little ways and Powers Creek is 93 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.839 at the base of some dumb glacier, sumdum glacier. They're 94 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.920 doing their thing. When they get back to camp, it 95 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.680 threw them off because it was like everything in their 96 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.079 camp was shifted in one way or another, kind of 97 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.800 not jostled through, but just imagine someone going through your 98 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.120 living room lifting up the couch cushion, not pushing it 99 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.759 down all the way, you know, opening a cupboard door, 100 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.519 and it's just little nuances they picked up on. But 101 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.399 everything was relatively the same, but it didn't feel like 102 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.120 the same. So they thought it was weird and just 103 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.560 chalked it up to we're just tired from hiking. Because 104 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.600 it was the season of the Land of the Midnight Sun, 105 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.040 so they get dinner prepared, and as they're finishing up 106 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.920 their dinner, it was one of their jobs, they took 107 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.279 turns washing dishes down at the creek to avoid attracting bears. Right, 108 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.600 Eric's next oldest buddy went on down there to the 109 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.199 creek to wash the utensils, the plates and stuff, keep 110 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.800 it fare friendly. Another scream came directly across the creek 111 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.600 from this poor guy just minding his business scrubbing down 112 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.720 these the pots of pants, dishes and all the little 113 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.519 camping stuff they brought, and this thing screams at him. 114 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.959 He didn't see it, but it screamed at him. Immediately, 115 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.560 everything that was at the creek side left there. 116 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.199 He skidaddled back to the camp. 117 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.680 Eric and the other guy were standing there with their hatchets, 118 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.040 and one of them had a full size axe. They 119 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.240 were like, what the what the hell was that his 120 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.399 buddy that ran back over? He goes, I didn't see anything, 121 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.480 but it was loud. Something's big over there. They're roughly 122 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.160 one hundred and fifty yards from this creek, so this 123 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.560 poor guy was real close to the hairy man screaming 124 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.519 at him, and the other ones were one hundred and 125 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.120 fifty yards away and still felt it felt the scream. 126 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.959 So as they're circling the wagons looking all around, it's 127 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.439 getting on into dusk time. Now it's not going to 128 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.839 get fully dark, but there's enough trees they're and old 129 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.759 girl stuff to where they're under canopy. It's going to 130 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.319 be dark for them, darker than it would be had 131 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.879 they been out less forested area like where I am. 132 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.959 Now they get their game plan. They're going to build 133 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.439 a big fire. They'll take watches if they have to 134 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.560 get tired, because they want to try to find out 135 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.000 what this is. One of his friends brings up the 136 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.959 Bigfoot footage, you know, Patterson Gimlin footage and whatnot. They're 137 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.040 all sitting there debating and like, nah, I couldn't be 138 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.879 you know, Nah, that was a guy in a suit. 139 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:34.720 Just stuff like that. 140 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.279 Just as they were getting ready to finalize who's going 141 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.839 to take first watch so the other ones could sleep, 142 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.920 the screaming started very nearby. From more than one. It 143 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.360 was literally north southeast west. It wasn't exactly north southeast west, 144 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.639 but they were staged in an exact pattern. I get 145 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.319 the goosebumps thinking about it. From what he was trying 146 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.000 to explain because he got uttered up a little bit 147 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.279 explaining it to me because of relieving it. The emotions 148 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.240 involved was palpable. He decides he's going to the next 149 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.319 following day go down and attempt to flag one of 150 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.680 their buddies who had a boat that. 151 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.399 Was going to be in the area every day. 152 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.920 And he said a certain time if you got issues, 153 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.399 be done on the beach and waved me. They had 154 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.600 certain backup plans as far as emergencies right, talk to 155 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.319 his buddies, said tomorrow during that time, one of us, 156 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.639 if not all, probably all of us will go down 157 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.080 there and wave and get attention and we'll get out 158 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.440 of here because something ain't right. So they got all 159 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.759 that down and basically plodding on vacating the area. 160 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:40.480 There. 161 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.720 He said there was such an ominous feeling that he 162 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.080 couldn't sit still. He would be trying to do something 163 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.120 to get his mind off of it, but he couldn't. 164 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.799 He was too fidgety. He could not relax. There was 165 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.720 no relaxed feeling. As it got progressively a little darker, 166 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.679 they started hearing the movement. Every so often there'd be 167 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.960 a volley of screams. As soon as one started, they 168 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.879 all started. It was coming from one area first and 169 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.840 then the other ones just filled in right after. So 170 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.039 as this kept going on, they noticed that the screaming 171 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.519 was always moving, but the distances were always the same, 172 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.679 and it was like they stayed in the same four 173 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.320 point kind of configuration, kind of rotating around their camp. 174 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.639 And he said it felt like they were being pressured 175 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:32.639 to leave. They had gotten back to back, stoked the fire, 176 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.440 and just resigned themselves to whatever's going to happen is 177 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.000 going to happen. We have basically no way out. They 178 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.039 keep moving, they keep screaming, but the screams were not 179 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.159 as loud as the first few. These things were close 180 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.600 enough into the trees to where even the low level 181 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:53.120 screams were absolutely terrifying. Still felt them through the body. 182 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.399 Things of this nature. So what they decided to do 183 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.440 is start breaking down their camp. They wanted to break down, 184 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.799 but then things started flying in, hitting the fire, hitting 185 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.799 around them. It was getting to a dark point where 186 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.519 they could tell some of them are sticks, some of 187 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.799 them are small rocks. As they were trying to kind 188 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.120 of pack things up, they ended up not getting much 189 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.960 done on that aspect. It went on like that. The 190 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.039 rest of the night, they were dead dog tired. But 191 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.600 as soon as it was getting lighter in the morning, 192 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.159 as soon as it changed and it was obvious it 193 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.519 was going to be getting lighter and lighter, all activities stopped. 194 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.240 It went dead quiet, not a sound in the forest. 195 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.799 So they're a little tired. They figure, okay, let's go together. 196 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.759 We'll stay super close. We got our hatchets in the axe, 197 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.759 and we'll get down. 198 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.519 To the beach. We'll wave the guy down. 199 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.480 At this particular time, it was sometime first thing in 200 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.279 the morning that if they were going to need help 201 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.120 to be waving or whatever. So they get down there 202 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.240 and they're at the beach and daily passerby doesn't show up. 203 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.799 They're sitting there most of the morning and most of 204 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.480 the afternoon hoping that this guy comes by. They made 205 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.679 no attempt to go back to their camp, none of that. 206 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.039 They stayed right there. They had brought a couple of 207 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.159 small provisions. They were eating spam out of the can 208 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.039 and some kind of black beans or something like that. 209 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.840 So after they get done with their little meal, they decided, 210 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.120 let's just get back to camp. Let's get our stuff 211 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.440 packed up. We'll just camp down here. We'll just make 212 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.159 this our camp. 213 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.320 They go back. 214 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.720 Their camp is thrashed, nothing tore up, just like a 215 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.320 tornado hit and spread it all around and everything. So 216 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.080 they took the time helping each other gather it. Two 217 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.120 would stand guard, the other wood pick stuff up, and 218 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.159 so on. They got everything rearranged, they moved down closer 219 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.519 to the beach. They decided once they got to that point, 220 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.919 because it took a long time to scour and find 221 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.080 their stuff, I would have left it, but they were 222 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.720 killing time anyway. They figured, let's bring our stuff with us. 223 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.120 They get to their second place where they were going 224 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.159 to camp. This is night number three. First night they 225 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.159 slept great, and second night had them rotating around screaming. 226 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.919 This is their third full night. They decided they're going 227 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.279 to set up one tent. They'd sleep in rotation. Two 228 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.360 would stay up, one would sleep, and so on. So 229 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.480 they started that process, and as soon as it started getting. 230 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.960 Dusk, the scream started up again. Same pattern. 231 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.879 There was four rotating around every so often, but always 232 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.360 in an ex configuration. It seemed to be from how 233 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.480 it sounded distance of doing the same thing at the time, 234 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.440 he said. He took notes. He was writing down certain 235 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.559 cracking sounds. Things started flying in again. It was a 236 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.600 repeat of the night before. Basically terrified. None of them 237 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.759 got sleep, even when they would go into the tent 238 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.080 to sleep. They just couldn't shake this. So they're exhausted, 239 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.399 they're starting to get emotional, they're starting to infight a 240 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.679 little bit, arguing with each other, just stupid shit, just 241 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.480 out of fear and anxiety. The next morning, they run 242 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.480 down to the beach because they eventually did fall asleep 243 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.679 for a little bit. They didn't mean to, but they 244 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519 were over exhausted and they fell asleep for a few hours. 245 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.679 Nothing happened to them, thankfully. They get down to the 246 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.480 beach without packing up their stuff. They left the stuff 247 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.480 and try to hurry down to the beach. They're waving 248 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.080 and flag, you know, they're looking for anything to wave at, 249 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.159 even if it wasn't their buddy. They had planned on 250 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.720 being out there for damn near the whole two week off. 251 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.600 So they're packing can goods, they're packing all sorts of stuff. 252 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.039 As they're going back to gather up their stuff. They 253 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.360 needed to eat, they needed their provisions or whatever. So 254 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:38.240 they all go back up together and again campus is thrashed, 255 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.799 everything jostled about. They decide, we'll just pick up the 256 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.279 pertinent stuff and leave the rest that we won't need, 257 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.639 and we're just gonna stay down on that beach and 258 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.080 flag down whoever in the hell we can. We'll start 259 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.159 a signal fire. Whatever we gotta do, let's do it. 260 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.559 They sit there, gather up pertinent and stuff, important stuff, 261 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.720 all that kind of thing, some survival stuff, one tent. 262 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.240 They leave the rest of the stuff. They go down 263 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.240 to the beach and set up a small camp. They're 264 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.679 gathering up wood together as a group, moving as a group, 265 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.559 collecting this wood to make a signal fire. Have some 266 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.759 spruce boughs to make it smokey whenever they see a 267 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.960 vessel coming by or a plane. At this point it 268 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.039 didn't matter. They decide they needed a few more things 269 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.000 from that camp. After they got everything set up, they 270 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.600 got the fire going or whatever. It wasn't dark out, 271 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.720 but they decided they're going to go together and go 272 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.679 back up and look for a couple more things. He 273 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.519 had some equipment that he didn't want to lose. He 274 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.639 wanted to go back and get it because he realized 275 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.840 he had forgot it. As Eric is in the lead 276 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.960 of the group. They get back up into where their 277 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.159 camp was, and this time it wasn't just jostled about. 278 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.919 Things were torn into small pieces. 279 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.240 Something just sat there just tearing up pages of a 280 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.879 phone book and just spreading it around that pieces of tent. 281 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.600 Everything was everywhere. They were unable to find anything of 282 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.840 any value. Any can goods that were left were smashed. 283 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.039 He said that one of the they had a foam type. 284 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.159 It wasn't necessarily a cooler. 285 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:10.840 It was like one of those old style lunch boxes, 286 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.440 like the igloo style. It was like a foam interlined 287 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.960 plastic shell basically with a top. They found that and 288 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:23.440 a huge, muddy, greasy handprint was on top of it. 289 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.960 He said that the top of this little cooler type 290 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:33.919 deal was approximately fourteen by eighteen in size, so you 291 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.240 know you're looking at something like that, not very big. 292 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.480 But the handprint, he could tell that the fingers would 293 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.240 just hang over the side of this state. They could 294 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.639 see the whole palm print, part of the thumb, and 295 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.519 part of the other fingers on this. So it was 296 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.159 a massive hand that had pushed down on the saint. 297 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:52.399 The way it was. 298 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.600 Pushed down is it pushed the lid and split the 299 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.080 sides a little bit just from the pressure. 300 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.919 So they get the hell out of die. 301 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.480 They get back down the beach and immediately the whole 302 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.720 way back down the holy shit, this is like we 303 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.080 got a big foot. There's more than one this and 304 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.799 that they were talking about it. The debate was over 305 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.759 for all three of them in their minds. Now, as 306 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.000 they're down at the beach, they're breaking up the spruce 307 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.720 boughs to make sure that they could easily get that 308 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.799 fire smoking when they needed to. It's not dark out, 309 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.399 but it's not light either. So where they were dropped 310 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.720 down onto the beach in elevation from where they were 311 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.559 it was a little bit of a rise, and then 312 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.000 the tree line a little ways back. Now, at this 313 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.320 particular point, he said that even though it was light 314 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.919 on the beach, the tree line and the canopies of 315 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.080 the trees it was a lot darker, and they started 316 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:49.039 hearing movement back and forth up and down the beach 317 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.279 line within the trees. Now, when they were discussing what 318 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.399 the hell they were going to do, there was an 319 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.960 overwhelming sense of terror because now these things are acting, 320 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.079 pacing all around them. So they're in a living world 321 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.599 to terror at this point, and they keep hearing it 322 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.079 bashing back and forth, and they weren't sleeping. They were 323 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:13.000 just literally sitting there listening, stoking the fire and listening. 324 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.240 It was just movements, that's all they heard. They didn't 325 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.359 hear any other screaming, and no al mimics, none of that. 326 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.480 It was just pure stalking and walking back and forth 327 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.400 like pacing. But they could tell it was still at 328 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.960 least four of them now as morning was breaking the 329 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.880 next morning, just above where they were hearing the movement, 330 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.720 there was a little bit of a clear spot before 331 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.920 the tree line tucked back away from shore a little 332 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.799 bit and then cut back. As they were looking the 333 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.119 whole time, didn't notice this thing. When they did notice, 334 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.440 it was standing there next to a big old tree, 335 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:54.480 just watching them, and it dawned on them. For hours, 336 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.319 they had been scanning back and forth and overlooking this thing. 337 00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:58.839 He said. 338 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.640 It was less than fifty feet away, right up the 339 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.880 bank from them, right over by some trees the whole time. Massive, 340 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.440 he said, it was at least fourteen foot and tall, 341 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.319 at least five foot wide, somewhere in that range. It 342 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:16.400 had the appearance of being a very dark brown to 343 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.279 blame kind of coloration to it. Only when they realized 344 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.839 and started looking directly at it did it move. It 345 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.160 made itself more visible, then turned around and walked off 346 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.279 into the trees, and they listened to it walk from 347 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.079 where it was up to directly above them and start 348 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.240 pushing and breaking trees just above them. A couple of 349 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.079 the tips of the trees came falling down near them 350 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.240 to where they're backed up towards the waterline, and they're 351 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.839 freaking the hell out. This thing screams horribly loud, and 352 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.240 then they hear thrashing through the trees as it runs 353 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.599 around and back over towards by where it was, and 354 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.160 then they heard it run back the other direction. Then 355 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.519 as soon as that stopped, the other ones they heard pacing. 356 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.960 We're all just right up in the tree line. They 357 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.640 could see the silhouettes of these things, and they were 358 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.480 moving like leapfrogging each other and moving back and forth 359 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.400 into the trees. They were focused on that. Just as 360 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.960 they're focusing on that, they hear the sound of an 361 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.079 outboard out behind them, so. 362 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.480 Immediately they turn around. 363 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.000 They start flinging on that spruce boughs onto their fire 364 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.839 it was their friend, and their friend was coming directly 365 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.880 for them. 366 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.720 It was just coincidental. 367 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.400 The guy wasn't going to be around to retrieve them 368 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.240 at the end of the week or however long they 369 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:39.559 were going to be there, so he was coming early regardless, thankfully, 370 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.599 to retrieve them and get them out of there, because 371 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.200 no one would be available to come and get them. 372 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.920 Just happenstance, So they're thankful. As their friend is getting 373 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.519 closer to shore, his friend circles around a couple times 374 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.119 and his pointing and is telling them move down the 375 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.000 beach right, So they're immediately like, they turn around, they're looking. 376 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.920 There's that big one up on the bank just above them, 377 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.000 just inside the trees, looking right down at him. 378 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.240 Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. 379 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.160 We'll be right back. 380 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:16.720 After these messages. Their buddy in the boat saw it 381 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.000 and was like, move further down to get away from 382 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.559 that thing kind of thing. Because the guy they could 383 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.200 barely hear him because he's still in the boat, going 384 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.319 in circles or whatever and screaming move down. 385 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.920 So they take off. 386 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.279 They left what they had right there on the beach 387 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.880 and ran down the beach in the little ways, and 388 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.880 the guy cut in. They all jumped on and got 389 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.599 out of dodge. 390 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.119 He said. 391 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.440 Once they got on the boat and pushed off the 392 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.319 buddy that saw it in the tree line, that was 393 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.759 coming to pick him up in the skiff kept going 394 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.160 back and forth in the skiff, and that's when the 395 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.039 other one started throwing big rocks towards them. That's when 396 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.240 they got out of there. That happened in nineteen seventy eight. 397 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.680 I got this email a little while back, been in 398 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.839 correspondence trying to get the overall feel of what these 399 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.039 guys were dealing with. There's something to be said about 400 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.079 seeing them versus not seeing them, which is more terrifying. 401 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.440
