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 --> 00:02:01.480 enough out here looking them new to window out and 34 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.040 I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside. 35 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:12.280 Just fine, Hello, hit somebody out here? What went on 36 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.159 out there? It's thought of a bit of about sixty nine? 37 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.159 I don't know easy, I'm out there, yeah right, Oh hey, 38 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.520 greetings Bread in Alaska. 39 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.280 I wanted to share with you today. 40 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.919 Happened two years ago in May, just outside the Lake 41 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.199 Clark National Park and Preserve at a cabin. Josh and 42 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.759 Bridget their real first names. They didn't want to share 43 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.439 their last name. 44 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.000 There were newlyweds. 45 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.439 One of their relatives had given them the offer to honeymoon, 46 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.360 get the cabin that family homes near there ready for 47 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.319 other visitors over the season. So of course sat and Hey, 48 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.199 trip to Alaska, remote cabin, honeymoon. Hey, why not? So 49 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.800 they jumped on that. They were there for a week. 50 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.879 The first two three days were just a lot of mosquitoes, 51 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.360 a lot of clearing a small brush, things of this nature. 52 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.879 They were basically clearing the landing, getting the small dock ready. 53 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.000 Just a little nittnoyd things, nothing too major. Again, they 54 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.400 were there to enjoy themselves. On the third night, which 55 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.360 in May, it's getting into land of the midnight suntimes, 56 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.680 so it doesn't get overly dark in the sky, but 57 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.439 in the tree lines, because the leads were all popping out, 58 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.960 it's dark. They kept hearing this weird owl hoot. This 59 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.599 owl hoot kept getting their attention. It was at a 60 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.039 cadence of every few seconds, just as hoot over and over. 61 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.120 They were concerned there was an injured owl. So Josh commenced, 62 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.719 bridget Hey, follow me out. 63 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.080 Let's go see if we could find it. 64 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.080 Maybe it got caught in a trapper snare or something, 65 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.800 fishing line or something let's go check it out. The 66 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.840 way the cabin was set up is it was approximately 67 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.439 fifty yards back from the body of water where they 68 00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:00.960 were at around it was approximately another they're thirty yards 69 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.360 circumference around the cabin. Just cleared brush as far as 70 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.800 keeping open line at sight in case bears get close. Right, 71 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.719 So they come down the stairs because there's only one 72 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.719 way in and out the front door. There's two windows, 73 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.040 one on either side of the door, one on it 74 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.800 would be the left hand side as you're facing the cabin, 75 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.240 and then one in the far back just above this makeshift. 76 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.000 He's looking out these windows that he could trying to 77 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.360 determine where is this owl, what direction should we look. 78 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.639 He finds his flashlight, nice bright eight hundred loomin job. 79 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.639 He checks it. It's working just fine, grabs his forty 80 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.920 five auto holsters. It didn't want to go out there 81 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.600 potentially walk into a bear, which is smart. At least 82 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.120 he had something on his hip bridget. As soon as 83 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.560 they step outside the door, there's a very small deck, 84 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.360 not even quite eight feet, just a small square deck, 85 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:52.600 and there's a few steps down. 86 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:54.519 They get on on a deck. 87 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.279 She immediately sensed something wasn't right, told Josh, hey, it's 88 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.240 not sounding like an owl anymore. It's sounding like something 89 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.600 imitating an owl. Josh stands there and listens, and he's right, 90 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.800 that's weird. So he has this light and gun. He's 91 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.519 I'm gonna check it out. We're in Alaska. It's our 92 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.360 first trip to Alaska. They don't know nothing about the 93 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.920 wildlife outside of bearers and bear warnings from those who 94 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.319 they went with. So he lights up and he's walking 95 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.639 around the circumference of the cabin, just checking out the 96 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.399 tree line. It's thick vegetation in there, all the way 97 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.199 around this place. The mosquitoes are still biting, so he's 98 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.399 chewing mosquitos and doing his thing with his flashlight. As 99 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.680 he's walking, he hears something behind him. It turns around. 100 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.519 It's Bridget followed him. She was going to stay on 101 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.360 the porch, but she decided to follow. She kept telling 102 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.519 him something doesn't feel right. I feel like we're being watched. 103 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.279 He was getting. 104 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.560 I think your a little paranoid first time in Alaska. 105 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.600 I think you're just overthinking it, and I think we'll 106 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.319 be just fine. They get around to the backside, which 107 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.480 basically right underneath that window where the makeshift kitchen is 108 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.759 on the back side of the cabin. As they get 109 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.759 up to that window, they hear the hoot again and 110 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.399 it sounds like it's directly in front of them, straight 111 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.759 out from that window, roughly thirty yards before the brush line. 112 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.240 So he beams and initially they saw some eye shine 113 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.079 and it moved, so they figured, oh, those look like 114 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.120 big eyes. Owls have big eyes, so hey, it's an owl. 115 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.480 It moves, so they're like, oh, and then the hooting stopped. 116 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.879 The mosquitoes are thick or whatever, okay, in their eye. 117 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.000 They confirmed it was an owl. They go back inside. 118 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.480 No harm, no foul, We'll check on it when it's 119 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.639 brighter out tomorrow morning. 120 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.040 They get inside. 121 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.199 They're having a late dinner because land of the midnight sun, 122 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.279 so you lose track of time. You think it's five 123 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.839 or six and it's ten or eleven. Trust me, I 124 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.040 do it all the time, and I live here. That's 125 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.040 what happened with them. They lost track of time and 126 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.920 started dinner a bit late. Bridget is in front of 127 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:52.000 the sink. From what she was saying, she can't seeing movement, 128 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.199 but she thought it was just her eyes playing tricks 129 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.000 on her because of the light in the sky versus 130 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.759 the shadows the darkness in front of her. So she 131 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.800 just chalked it up to, oh, I'm moving my head 132 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.040 and it's making things look like they're moving right, fair enough. 133 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.000 Josh is sitting on this little couch. He's playing solitaire 134 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.079 with the deck at cards. They're talking about I'll ask 135 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.879 you how much fun has been the past few days, 136 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.199 and discussing maybe one day in the future will have 137 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.920 a cabin. As they're having this conversation, Bridget's staring down 138 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.319 into the sink doing something with the meat she was preparing. 139 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.439 She was cutting off excess bat or something, and as 140 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.040 she's doing that, she notices what she thought was her 141 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.959 reflection in the window, the mirrored effect. Right, she looks 142 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.600 up and sees this thing staring at her. Literally a 143 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.399 foot and half away on the back side of the 144 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.319 sink is this window and this thing staring at her. 145 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.040 She doesn't know what to make of it. 146 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.600 She can't put what she's seeing with her eyes into 147 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.959 her head. She can't wrap her mind around what she's 148 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.439 exactly seeing. Because she said it was dark, gray, black nose, 149 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.560 really big, guys, this thing had a huge head. It 150 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.680 looked almost like a gray bait East Mountain man, because 151 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.800 she said it looked like a big beard, big white jaw, 152 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.800 eyes were really big. They were getting a little bit 153 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.160 of eye shine from the light they had inside. She 154 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.040 dropped what she's doing. She's stunned, and she takes a 155 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.040 few steps back and trips over this little bit of 156 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.279 a lip. They had a piece of trim that went 157 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.519 from the linoleum to a little bit of carpet there. 158 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.560 She tripped over on it and flopped back, and she 159 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.040 was in shock, looking up at the window because this 160 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.279 thing is still make an eye contact with her. Josh, 161 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.360 shees her fall. He jumps up and he giggles. He's like, 162 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.320 you all right, you all right? He's not seeing what 163 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.279 she's seeing. She was trying to get her breath, but 164 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.480 she kept like that. Josh is like, are you having 165 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.480 an asthma attack or something? What's going on? 166 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.519 She points and he turns and looks just in time 167 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.360 to see whatever she saw move out of the way 168 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.679 of the window. He was like, what the hell was that? 169 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.120 Was that a bear? She couldn't talk. She was in shock, right. 170 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.840 She's trying to hold onto his clothes because he was 171 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.960 going to the window and trying to stop him from 172 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.360 potentially being in danger. And as he's trying to go 173 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.120 to that window, she's sitting down. The other window was 174 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.080 right behind him where he was sitting, So as he's 175 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.840 going over the window in the little makeshift kitchen. Now, 176 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.679 let me give you a size reference. This cabin was 177 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:21.320 approximately twenty foot wide twenty six feet long, a good 178 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.840 sized cabin. The kitchen part would be the last third 179 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.039 of this cabin. As she tripped right around the third 180 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.080 the distance of this place right the windows immediately off 181 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.799 to her left, and the one that she saw it 182 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.720 in is immediately in front of her. There's a couple 183 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.600 poles down the middle of this cabin that held up 184 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.399 the root in the center. As he's going forward, she 185 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.519 grabs his clothes. It's probably just a bar. Looking and curious, 186 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.879 she finally caught a breath and says, no, it's a monster. 187 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.960 It's a monster. He's like a monster. We're new to Alaska. 188 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.240 This's playing tricks on you. He's turned away from both windows. 189 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.279 He's got the window that was behind his back over 190 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.879 his right should and the other one over his left shoulder, 191 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.000 and her in front of him. 192 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.120 So he's kitty corner to both windows. 193 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.039 And as she's trying to tell him it was legit 194 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.600 a monster, he stopped giggling at her because he could 195 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.600 see the terror in her eyes. Now, as this is 196 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.159 going on, he hears the thump over his right shoulder 197 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.519 and glances back to the window that was just behind him. 198 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.080 When he looks back, he sees the same thing she 199 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:27.840 did staring at him in the window. Now, when he 200 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.799 made eye contact with this thing, it gave him a 201 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.159 look like up yours kind of deal. His words, not mine, 202 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.279 he said. He felt like he gave him a look 203 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.039 of up yours. Then it moved out away with the window. Immediately, 204 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.840 he's panic stricken too, because he's what the hell is this? 205 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.200 She's panic. She runs goes in. 206 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.720 There's just one separate room in this place, and it 207 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.000 was the bedroom, which was basically curfacing that rare window 208 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.840 would be off to her right. The back right corner 209 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.919 was basically the bedroom area with no windows in it. 210 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.639 She darts into there. She's panicked. Is she's freaking out? 211 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.559 Get in here, get in here, don't let it get you. 212 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.600 He's still trying to figure out what he saw. He 213 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.440 retreats back in there with her he finally gets himself 214 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.080 pulled together because they're literally in shock. They were not 215 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.240 expecting to be dealing with something looking at them in 216 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.879 the window. They expected to see some bears and maybe 217 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.159 get you some photo ops with a bear or whatever. 218 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.639 They were basically freaking out. He was shaking really hard. 219 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.240 She was inconsolable for about an hour. They stayed in there. 220 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.759 The only reason he went back out is they started 221 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.799 hearing a thumping on the front porch, just this low. 222 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.080 It wasn't at a regular cadence. It was just every 223 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.320 once in a while bump, and then it would stop 224 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.720 for a little bit and then would continue again a 225 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.320 little bit later. That drew him out of that room. 226 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.840 When he came out of the room, he has his flashlight. 227 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.559 They still had the lanterns and stuff going. They had 228 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.600 led lanterns with fresh batteries in it, so they would 229 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.480 last all night. 230 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.720 But he came out with the flashlight. He has his 231 00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.360 forty five. 232 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.200 He recently out of the military, so he's well aware 233 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.919 of tactics and all that. As he comes out tactically, 234 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.000 he's ready to do his thing. As he's looking now, 235 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.080 there's a window on either side of this front door. 236 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.200 He's trying to use the light see if anything's out. 237 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.320 One window he shut it off, look out the other one, 238 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.559 shut it off. He didn't want to be pinpointed. I 239 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.399 guess part of his training. He didn't want to just 240 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.039 leave the light on and be easily seen. He didn't 241 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.960 know for sure what they were dealing with, so he 242 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.279 reverted back to tactical training type stuff. He goes up 243 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:33.919 to the front door and he peeks out the window. 244 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.440 He looks around, he sees nothing. He decides, all right, 245 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.960 whatever this is, I'm going to rack a few rounds 246 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.200 into the lake and let it know that guns live 247 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.279 here and maybe it'll just go away. 248 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:47.960 Steps out on the porch. 249 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.639 Just as he's about to shoot, he hears this low, 250 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.320 grumbling growl that he could feel in his face. He 251 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.639 said that once he felt that, he literally stumbled back 252 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.480 into the cabin and kind of sat there. The door 253 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.600 was still open, so he kicked it shut real quick. 254 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.080 He felt disoriented, He said. The only time he ever 255 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.399 felt like that before was when the five hundred pound 256 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.639 bomb went off a quarter mile away and it shook 257 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.000 everyone so bad they lost balance and stuff like that. 258 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.639 He said it was similar to that that's what he 259 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.840 equated it too. He kicked the door shut, and he's 260 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.080 sitting there, he's trying to figure out what the hell 261 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.279 is that, because that growl continued and he could feel 262 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.799 it in the floor of the cabin. He said, he 263 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.000 never felt that kind of fear. Now, this is a 264 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.440 soldier that was in for a good number of years 265 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.240 and did a lot of tours in the sandbox his words, 266 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.519 not mine. Combat bet been there, done that, been shot at, 267 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.639 had to do the whole nine And he said he 268 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.320 never felt the kind of fear he felt from that growl. 269 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.200 As he got up, pulled himself together, he knew immediately 270 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.759 whatever that was is awfully damn big. In the forty 271 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.279 five he had, he felt insufficient with it. He had 272 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.840 a twelve gaate that he had brought under the bed, 273 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.600 so he goes and grabs that, gets it loaded up, 274 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.919 comes out, does this thing again, looking out the windows, 275 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.480 didn't see nothing, steps out, looks around, pops a couple 276 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:12.559 of rounds from. 277 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.120 The twelve gage into the lake. 278 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:16.480 Now, over the course of time of the growling, him 279 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.480 falling in, shutting the door, and him stepping back out 280 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.720 to shoot, he said, was probably about an hour because 281 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.200 he had to collect himself, so he steps back inside. 282 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.799 After shooting off in the distance, they could hear it 283 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.399 started off at a real low but roar. It ended 284 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.080 in a super high pitch. 285 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:34.600 He said. 286 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.200 It was almost like a dual octave scream. The screen 287 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.480 was such that the windows, because of the lanterns going 288 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.960 and stuff, he could see the windows doing this little 289 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.039 vibration thing. It caught his eye because they had a 290 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.960 little bit of a mirrored effect going with the windows, 291 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.519 and he could see the mirrored image jiggling. But immediately 292 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.159 they retreat back into the room, they killed one of 293 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.559 the lamps. They brought the other one with them. They 294 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.639 shut the bedroom door, and they used the small dresser 295 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.000 that was theres more like a little night stand dresser, 296 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.080 you know, with two drawers. He slid that in front 297 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.960 of the door, and they basically stayed held up into 298 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.480 the corner of that bedroom until morning. 299 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.279 And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll 300 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.720 be right back after these messages. 301 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.399 He said. 302 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.039 During that course of time between them shutting the door, 303 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.559 putting that little wasted time barrier there in front of 304 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.440 the door until the morning, they said they heard multiple 305 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.799 screams from different sides of the cabin. 306 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.559 There was clumps of something being thrown. 307 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.399 He said it wasn't rocks because it didn't have the 308 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.720 hard percussion of a rock knocking against the wood. He 309 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.639 guesstimated it was probably clumps or grass or something like that, 310 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.039 or dirt, just because of the sounds of it. Now, 311 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.159 as he was consoling Bridget, and Bridget was telling him, 312 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.279 I don't want you going outside. I don't want you 313 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.399 dealing with any of this. We don't know what the 314 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.960 hell this is. There's obviously more than one. We can 315 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.399 hear the screams, and he's trying to tell her, look, 316 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.000 we literally have at least three more days before anyone 317 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.799 gets back here, which weather depending, we don't know for sure. 318 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.679 So wrapped her mind around that thought. She doesn't like it. 319 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.360 He's not happy about it either. Next morning comes, they 320 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.120 didn't sleep a wink. Once he went out and everything 321 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.320 was clear, Bridget calmed down, en up, and she crashed out. 322 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.720 Now when she crashed out, she slid that same night 323 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.600 stand in front of the door, basically essentially locking him 324 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.000 out of the room as well, which he was okay 325 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.679 with because she was really dealing with it. He's basically up. 326 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.080 He makes coffee, he's doing his thing. He's trying to 327 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.039 keep his mind off of it, but at the same 328 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.120 time situational awareness. 329 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.440 He keeps looking out the windows. 330 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.639 He can't stop looking, going from window to window, going 331 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.200 in a circle, looking out the windows because he's freaking 332 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.159 what the hell is this shit? About four or five 333 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.639 hours goes by. He says he sat down on the couch, 334 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.120 calm down, and finally and had some coffee. As it 335 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.279 was damn near cold. He ended up dozing off a 336 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.079 little bit. He wakes up, startled with Bridget kicking his foot. 337 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.119 Now it's middle of the day, it's bright out. They're 338 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.200 a little more calm down. They each had a little 339 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.799 bit of rest. They go outside armed, of course, she 340 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.079 was carrying his forty five. He had the twelve gage. 341 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.759 They circled around the whole cabin looking for any sign 342 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.160 of anything. There was tore up ground all over the place, 343 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.799 so he couldn't make out if it was a clump 344 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.640 of grass, dirt, or what have you. He just knew 345 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.480 it wasn't a rock because of the sound. They look around, 346 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.039 they don't see no tracks, so they go back inside. 347 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:40.359 They calm down. Night comes, nothing happened. The next day comes, 348 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.559 nothing happened. Now the night before their ride is supposed 349 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.240 to fly back in to pick them up from their honeymoon. 350 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.200 Just as it's starting to get into dusk, they hear 351 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.279 the al hoot again. Now when they hear the a 352 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.039 ol hoot, this time, they shut down everything, retreat into 353 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.119 the room. Next morning, they hear the plane fly by, 354 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.359 and they know that that's the sign to get their 355 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.519 stuff ready. The plane's gonna land. Get them out of 356 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.440 there drop off where they were bringing in. They were 357 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.119 going to head home from their honeymoon. Once they heard 358 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.519 the plane, they do their a little unbarricaded and they 359 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.720 were already packed. They come out. It was about a 360 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.400 half hour before the plane actually landed and taxied up 361 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.319 to the little dock there. They had a little pep 362 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.640 talk amongst each other about bringing it up to friends 363 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.920 and family that were showing up. 364 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.200 All they did is they opted to. 365 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.920 Tell them beware of the al hoops and don't go 366 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.200 out after dark. We saw something looking in the window. 367 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.160 Ados don't know what it was, but it stared in 368 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.839 the window at us, and they basically left it at 369 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.440 that for fear of ridicule from friends and family. That 370 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.960 sucks all. Grant you, nothing ultra violent happened or anything 371 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.960 of that nature, he said, Looking back on it, it 372 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.240 seemed more curious the whole growling thing he attributed to 373 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:58.359 a firearm. Now that's twenty twenty hind sight, I'm sure 374 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.279 in the moment it felt a lot different for it. 375 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:03.000 But I'm going to thank Josh and Bridget for sharing 376 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.279 that with me, being patient with me getting back a 377 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.000 hold of them. I wanted to share with you what 378 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.799 comes from Oscar. Where this happened was along the Copper River, 379 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.680 approximately about ten years ago. Oscar raised in the area. 380 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.799 I grew up in the area, was back visiting family. 381 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:24.160 While he was visiting, one of his aunties asked him 382 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:29.079 to collect some basically, to go collect some fireweeds. He 383 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.680 takes off, breaks a three fifty seven pistol with him, 384 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.839 goes hiking along the trail that was just adjacent to 385 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.640 the river. It was actually a smaller river that immediately 386 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.559 blows right into the Copper River. He left specifics out 387 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.359 because his family still lives there. How activity is still 388 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.400 going on. He doesn't want anyone rushing to the area. 389 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.200 He's hiking along. As he's hiking along. To his left 390 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.799 hand side is the river. Into his right hand side 391 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.519 is a bunch of tall grass, some fireweed, a tree 392 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:04.240 line app asimately about sixty yards off, but that sixty 393 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.200 yards off varies because ebbs and flows back and forth, 394 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.119 closer to the river bank, further away, and so on. 395 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.400 He's walking along, he's not all that far from whereas 396 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.039 An and other relatives are at. He's roughly a quarter 397 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.039 mile away. Now. As he's going along, out of the 398 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:25.039 corner of his eye, he notices brown hopping in the 399 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:28.119 grass roughly about thirty forty yards off, about half the 400 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.799 distance between him and the tree line. It caught his 401 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.240
