Speaker 2: Now, what are your reporting? I got a screen going
Speaker 2: on here. Something just kid with my dog, something to
Speaker 2: kill your dog? My dog. We're flying through there over
Speaker 2: the tree. I don't know how it did it? Okay, damn,
Speaker 2: I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming
Speaker 2: over the fence and name was dead once you hit
Speaker 2: the grill. I didn't see any cars. All I saw
Speaker 2: was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what are
Speaker 2: you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around
Speaker 2: out here? Did you see what it was? It was
Speaker 2: enough out here looking them new to window out and
Speaker 2: I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside.
Speaker 2: Just fine, Hello, hit somebody out here? What went on
Speaker 2: out there? It's thought of a bit of about sixty nine?
Speaker 3: I don't know easy, I'm out there, yeah right, Oh hey,
Speaker 3: greetings Bread in Alaska.
Speaker 4: I wanted to share with you today.
Speaker 3: Happened two years ago in May, just outside the Lake
Speaker 3: Clark National Park and Preserve at a cabin. Josh and
Speaker 3: Bridget their real first names. They didn't want to share
Speaker 3: their last name.
Speaker 4: There were newlyweds.
Speaker 3: One of their relatives had given them the offer to honeymoon,
Speaker 3: get the cabin that family homes near there ready for
Speaker 3: other visitors over the season. So of course sat and Hey,
Speaker 3: trip to Alaska, remote cabin, honeymoon. Hey, why not? So
Speaker 3: they jumped on that. They were there for a week.
Speaker 3: The first two three days were just a lot of mosquitoes,
Speaker 3: a lot of clearing a small brush, things of this nature.
Speaker 3: They were basically clearing the landing, getting the small dock ready.
Speaker 3: Just a little nittnoyd things, nothing too major. Again, they
Speaker 3: were there to enjoy themselves. On the third night, which
Speaker 3: in May, it's getting into land of the midnight suntimes,
Speaker 3: so it doesn't get overly dark in the sky, but
Speaker 3: in the tree lines, because the leads were all popping out,
Speaker 3: it's dark. They kept hearing this weird owl hoot. This
Speaker 3: owl hoot kept getting their attention. It was at a
Speaker 3: cadence of every few seconds, just as hoot over and over.
Speaker 3: They were concerned there was an injured owl. So Josh commenced,
Speaker 3: bridget Hey, follow me out.
Speaker 4: Let's go see if we could find it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it got caught in a trapper snare or something,
Speaker 3: fishing line or something let's go check it out. The
Speaker 3: way the cabin was set up is it was approximately
Speaker 3: fifty yards back from the body of water where they
Speaker 3: were at around it was approximately another they're thirty yards
Speaker 3: circumference around the cabin. Just cleared brush as far as
Speaker 3: keeping open line at sight in case bears get close. Right,
Speaker 3: So they come down the stairs because there's only one
Speaker 3: way in and out the front door. There's two windows,
Speaker 3: one on either side of the door, one on it
Speaker 3: would be the left hand side as you're facing the cabin,
Speaker 3: and then one in the far back just above this makeshift.
Speaker 3: He's looking out these windows that he could trying to
Speaker 3: determine where is this owl, what direction should we look.
Speaker 3: He finds his flashlight, nice bright eight hundred loomin job.
Speaker 3: He checks it. It's working just fine, grabs his forty
Speaker 3: five auto holsters. It didn't want to go out there
Speaker 3: potentially walk into a bear, which is smart. At least
Speaker 3: he had something on his hip bridget. As soon as
Speaker 3: they step outside the door, there's a very small deck,
Speaker 3: not even quite eight feet, just a small square deck,
Speaker 3: and there's a few steps down.
Speaker 4: They get on on a deck.
Speaker 3: She immediately sensed something wasn't right, told Josh, hey, it's
Speaker 3: not sounding like an owl anymore. It's sounding like something
Speaker 3: imitating an owl. Josh stands there and listens, and he's right,
Speaker 3: that's weird. So he has this light and gun. He's
Speaker 3: I'm gonna check it out. We're in Alaska. It's our
Speaker 3: first trip to Alaska. They don't know nothing about the
Speaker 3: wildlife outside of bearers and bear warnings from those who
Speaker 3: they went with. So he lights up and he's walking
Speaker 3: around the circumference of the cabin, just checking out the
Speaker 3: tree line. It's thick vegetation in there, all the way
Speaker 3: around this place. The mosquitoes are still biting, so he's
Speaker 3: chewing mosquitos and doing his thing with his flashlight. As
Speaker 3: he's walking, he hears something behind him. It turns around.
Speaker 3: It's Bridget followed him. She was going to stay on
Speaker 3: the porch, but she decided to follow. She kept telling
Speaker 3: him something doesn't feel right. I feel like we're being watched.
Speaker 4: He was getting.
Speaker 3: I think your a little paranoid first time in Alaska.
Speaker 3: I think you're just overthinking it, and I think we'll
Speaker 3: be just fine. They get around to the backside, which
Speaker 3: basically right underneath that window where the makeshift kitchen is
Speaker 3: on the back side of the cabin. As they get
Speaker 3: up to that window, they hear the hoot again and
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's directly in front of them, straight
Speaker 3: out from that window, roughly thirty yards before the brush line.
Speaker 3: So he beams and initially they saw some eye shine
Speaker 3: and it moved, so they figured, oh, those look like
Speaker 3: big eyes. Owls have big eyes, so hey, it's an owl.
Speaker 3: It moves, so they're like, oh, and then the hooting stopped.
Speaker 3: The mosquitoes are thick or whatever, okay, in their eye.
Speaker 3: They confirmed it was an owl. They go back inside.
Speaker 3: No harm, no foul, We'll check on it when it's
Speaker 3: brighter out tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4: They get inside.
Speaker 3: They're having a late dinner because land of the midnight sun,
Speaker 3: so you lose track of time. You think it's five
Speaker 3: or six and it's ten or eleven. Trust me, I
Speaker 3: do it all the time, and I live here. That's
Speaker 3: what happened with them. They lost track of time and
Speaker 3: started dinner a bit late. Bridget is in front of
Speaker 3: the sink. From what she was saying, she can't seeing movement,
Speaker 3: but she thought it was just her eyes playing tricks
Speaker 3: on her because of the light in the sky versus
Speaker 3: the shadows the darkness in front of her. So she
Speaker 3: just chalked it up to, oh, I'm moving my head
Speaker 3: and it's making things look like they're moving right, fair enough.
Speaker 3: Josh is sitting on this little couch. He's playing solitaire
Speaker 3: with the deck at cards. They're talking about I'll ask
Speaker 3: you how much fun has been the past few days,
Speaker 3: and discussing maybe one day in the future will have
Speaker 3: a cabin. As they're having this conversation, Bridget's staring down
Speaker 3: into the sink doing something with the meat she was preparing.
Speaker 3: She was cutting off excess bat or something, and as
Speaker 3: she's doing that, she notices what she thought was her
Speaker 3: reflection in the window, the mirrored effect. Right, she looks
Speaker 3: up and sees this thing staring at her. Literally a
Speaker 3: foot and half away on the back side of the
Speaker 3: sink is this window and this thing staring at her.
Speaker 4: She doesn't know what to make of it.
Speaker 3: She can't put what she's seeing with her eyes into
Speaker 3: her head. She can't wrap her mind around what she's
Speaker 3: exactly seeing. Because she said it was dark, gray, black nose,
Speaker 3: really big, guys, this thing had a huge head. It
Speaker 3: looked almost like a gray bait East Mountain man, because
Speaker 3: she said it looked like a big beard, big white jaw,
Speaker 3: eyes were really big. They were getting a little bit
Speaker 3: of eye shine from the light they had inside. She
Speaker 3: dropped what she's doing. She's stunned, and she takes a
Speaker 3: few steps back and trips over this little bit of
Speaker 3: a lip. They had a piece of trim that went
Speaker 3: from the linoleum to a little bit of carpet there.
Speaker 4: She tripped over on it and flopped back, and she
Speaker 4: was in shock, looking up at the window because this
Speaker 4: thing is still make an eye contact with her. Josh,
Speaker 4: shees her fall. He jumps up and he giggles. He's like,
Speaker 4: you all right, you all right? He's not seeing what
Speaker 4: she's seeing. She was trying to get her breath, but
Speaker 4: she kept like that. Josh is like, are you having
Speaker 4: an asthma attack or something? What's going on?
Speaker 3: She points and he turns and looks just in time
Speaker 3: to see whatever she saw move out of the way
Speaker 3: of the window. He was like, what the hell was that?
Speaker 3: Was that a bear? She couldn't talk. She was in shock, right.
Speaker 3: She's trying to hold onto his clothes because he was
Speaker 3: going to the window and trying to stop him from
Speaker 3: potentially being in danger. And as he's trying to go
Speaker 3: to that window, she's sitting down. The other window was
Speaker 3: right behind him where he was sitting, So as he's
Speaker 3: going over the window in the little makeshift kitchen. Now,
Speaker 3: let me give you a size reference. This cabin was
Speaker 3: approximately twenty foot wide twenty six feet long, a good
Speaker 3: sized cabin. The kitchen part would be the last third
Speaker 3: of this cabin. As she tripped right around the third
Speaker 3: the distance of this place right the windows immediately off
Speaker 3: to her left, and the one that she saw it
Speaker 3: in is immediately in front of her. There's a couple
Speaker 3: poles down the middle of this cabin that held up
Speaker 3: the root in the center. As he's going forward, she
Speaker 3: grabs his clothes. It's probably just a bar. Looking and curious,
Speaker 3: she finally caught a breath and says, no, it's a monster.
Speaker 3: It's a monster. He's like a monster. We're new to Alaska.
Speaker 3: This's playing tricks on you. He's turned away from both windows.
Speaker 3: He's got the window that was behind his back over
Speaker 3: his right should and the other one over his left shoulder,
Speaker 3: and her in front of him.
Speaker 4: So he's kitty corner to both windows.
Speaker 3: And as she's trying to tell him it was legit
Speaker 3: a monster, he stopped giggling at her because he could
Speaker 3: see the terror in her eyes. Now, as this is
Speaker 3: going on, he hears the thump over his right shoulder
Speaker 3: and glances back to the window that was just behind him.
Speaker 3: When he looks back, he sees the same thing she
Speaker 3: did staring at him in the window. Now, when he
Speaker 3: made eye contact with this thing, it gave him a
Speaker 3: look like up yours kind of deal. His words, not mine,
Speaker 3: he said. He felt like he gave him a look
Speaker 3: of up yours. Then it moved out away with the window. Immediately,
Speaker 3: he's panic stricken too, because he's what the hell is this?
Speaker 4: She's panic. She runs goes in.
Speaker 3: There's just one separate room in this place, and it
Speaker 3: was the bedroom, which was basically curfacing that rare window
Speaker 3: would be off to her right. The back right corner
Speaker 3: was basically the bedroom area with no windows in it.
Speaker 3: She darts into there. She's panicked. Is she's freaking out?
Speaker 3: Get in here, get in here, don't let it get you.
Speaker 3: He's still trying to figure out what he saw. He
Speaker 3: retreats back in there with her he finally gets himself
Speaker 3: pulled together because they're literally in shock. They were not
Speaker 3: expecting to be dealing with something looking at them in
Speaker 3: the window. They expected to see some bears and maybe
Speaker 3: get you some photo ops with a bear or whatever.
Speaker 3: They were basically freaking out. He was shaking really hard.
Speaker 3: She was inconsolable for about an hour. They stayed in there.
Speaker 3: The only reason he went back out is they started
Speaker 3: hearing a thumping on the front porch, just this low.
Speaker 3: It wasn't at a regular cadence. It was just every
Speaker 3: once in a while bump, and then it would stop
Speaker 3: for a little bit and then would continue again a
Speaker 3: little bit later. That drew him out of that room.
Speaker 3: When he came out of the room, he has his flashlight.
Speaker 3: They still had the lanterns and stuff going. They had
Speaker 3: led lanterns with fresh batteries in it, so they would
Speaker 3: last all night.
Speaker 4: But he came out with the flashlight. He has his
Speaker 4: forty five.
Speaker 3: He recently out of the military, so he's well aware
Speaker 3: of tactics and all that. As he comes out tactically,
Speaker 3: he's ready to do his thing. As he's looking now,
Speaker 3: there's a window on either side of this front door.
Speaker 3: He's trying to use the light see if anything's out.
Speaker 3: One window he shut it off, look out the other one,
Speaker 3: shut it off. He didn't want to be pinpointed. I
Speaker 3: guess part of his training. He didn't want to just
Speaker 3: leave the light on and be easily seen. He didn't
Speaker 3: know for sure what they were dealing with, so he
Speaker 3: reverted back to tactical training type stuff. He goes up
Speaker 3: to the front door and he peeks out the window.
Speaker 3: He looks around, he sees nothing. He decides, all right,
Speaker 3: whatever this is, I'm going to rack a few rounds
Speaker 3: into the lake and let it know that guns live
Speaker 3: here and maybe it'll just go away.
Speaker 4: Steps out on the porch.
Speaker 3: Just as he's about to shoot, he hears this low,
Speaker 3: grumbling growl that he could feel in his face. He
Speaker 3: said that once he felt that, he literally stumbled back
Speaker 3: into the cabin and kind of sat there. The door
Speaker 3: was still open, so he kicked it shut real quick.
Speaker 3: He felt disoriented, He said. The only time he ever
Speaker 3: felt like that before was when the five hundred pound
Speaker 3: bomb went off a quarter mile away and it shook
Speaker 3: everyone so bad they lost balance and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: He said it was similar to that that's what he
Speaker 3: equated it too. He kicked the door shut, and he's
Speaker 3: sitting there, he's trying to figure out what the hell
Speaker 3: is that, because that growl continued and he could feel
Speaker 3: it in the floor of the cabin. He said, he
Speaker 3: never felt that kind of fear. Now, this is a
Speaker 3: soldier that was in for a good number of years
Speaker 3: and did a lot of tours in the sandbox his words,
Speaker 3: not mine. Combat bet been there, done that, been shot at,
Speaker 3: had to do the whole nine And he said he
Speaker 3: never felt the kind of fear he felt from that growl.
Speaker 3: As he got up, pulled himself together, he knew immediately
Speaker 3: whatever that was is awfully damn big. In the forty
Speaker 3: five he had, he felt insufficient with it. He had
Speaker 3: a twelve gaate that he had brought under the bed,
Speaker 3: so he goes and grabs that, gets it loaded up,
Speaker 3: comes out, does this thing again, looking out the windows,
Speaker 3: didn't see nothing, steps out, looks around, pops a couple
Speaker 3: of rounds from.
Speaker 4: The twelve gage into the lake.
Speaker 3: Now, over the course of time of the growling, him
Speaker 3: falling in, shutting the door, and him stepping back out
Speaker 3: to shoot, he said, was probably about an hour because
Speaker 3: he had to collect himself, so he steps back inside.
Speaker 3: After shooting off in the distance, they could hear it
Speaker 3: started off at a real low but roar. It ended
Speaker 3: in a super high pitch.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 3: It was almost like a dual octave scream. The screen
Speaker 3: was such that the windows, because of the lanterns going
Speaker 3: and stuff, he could see the windows doing this little
Speaker 3: vibration thing. It caught his eye because they had a
Speaker 3: little bit of a mirrored effect going with the windows,
Speaker 3: and he could see the mirrored image jiggling. But immediately
Speaker 3: they retreat back into the room, they killed one of
Speaker 3: the lamps. They brought the other one with them. They
Speaker 3: shut the bedroom door, and they used the small dresser
Speaker 3: that was theres more like a little night stand dresser,
Speaker 3: you know, with two drawers. He slid that in front
Speaker 3: of the door, and they basically stayed held up into
Speaker 3: the corner of that bedroom until morning.
Speaker 1: And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back after these messages.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 3: During that course of time between them shutting the door,
Speaker 3: putting that little wasted time barrier there in front of
Speaker 3: the door until the morning, they said they heard multiple
Speaker 3: screams from different sides of the cabin.
Speaker 4: There was clumps of something being thrown.
Speaker 3: He said it wasn't rocks because it didn't have the
Speaker 3: hard percussion of a rock knocking against the wood. He
Speaker 3: guesstimated it was probably clumps or grass or something like that,
Speaker 3: or dirt, just because of the sounds of it. Now,
Speaker 3: as he was consoling Bridget, and Bridget was telling him,
Speaker 3: I don't want you going outside. I don't want you
Speaker 3: dealing with any of this. We don't know what the
Speaker 3: hell this is. There's obviously more than one. We can
Speaker 3: hear the screams, and he's trying to tell her, look,
Speaker 3: we literally have at least three more days before anyone
Speaker 3: gets back here, which weather depending, we don't know for sure.
Speaker 3: So wrapped her mind around that thought. She doesn't like it.
Speaker 3: He's not happy about it either. Next morning comes, they
Speaker 3: didn't sleep a wink. Once he went out and everything
Speaker 3: was clear, Bridget calmed down, en up, and she crashed out.
Speaker 3: Now when she crashed out, she slid that same night
Speaker 3: stand in front of the door, basically essentially locking him
Speaker 3: out of the room as well, which he was okay
Speaker 3: with because she was really dealing with it. He's basically up.
Speaker 3: He makes coffee, he's doing his thing. He's trying to
Speaker 3: keep his mind off of it, but at the same
Speaker 3: time situational awareness.
Speaker 4: He keeps looking out the windows.
Speaker 3: He can't stop looking, going from window to window, going
Speaker 3: in a circle, looking out the windows because he's freaking
Speaker 3: what the hell is this shit? About four or five
Speaker 3: hours goes by. He says he sat down on the couch,
Speaker 3: calm down, and finally and had some coffee. As it
Speaker 3: was damn near cold. He ended up dozing off a
Speaker 3: little bit. He wakes up, startled with Bridget kicking his foot.
Speaker 3: Now it's middle of the day, it's bright out. They're
Speaker 3: a little more calm down. They each had a little
Speaker 3: bit of rest. They go outside armed, of course, she
Speaker 3: was carrying his forty five. He had the twelve gage.
Speaker 3: They circled around the whole cabin looking for any sign
Speaker 3: of anything. There was tore up ground all over the place,
Speaker 3: so he couldn't make out if it was a clump
Speaker 3: of grass, dirt, or what have you. He just knew
Speaker 3: it wasn't a rock because of the sound. They look around,
Speaker 3: they don't see no tracks, so they go back inside.
Speaker 3: They calm down. Night comes, nothing happened. The next day comes,
Speaker 3: nothing happened. Now the night before their ride is supposed
Speaker 3: to fly back in to pick them up from their honeymoon.
Speaker 3: Just as it's starting to get into dusk, they hear
Speaker 3: the al hoot again. Now when they hear the a
Speaker 3: ol hoot, this time, they shut down everything, retreat into
Speaker 3: the room. Next morning, they hear the plane fly by,
Speaker 3: and they know that that's the sign to get their
Speaker 3: stuff ready. The plane's gonna land. Get them out of
Speaker 3: there drop off where they were bringing in. They were
Speaker 3: going to head home from their honeymoon. Once they heard
Speaker 3: the plane, they do their a little unbarricaded and they
Speaker 3: were already packed. They come out. It was about a
Speaker 3: half hour before the plane actually landed and taxied up
Speaker 3: to the little dock there. They had a little pep
Speaker 3: talk amongst each other about bringing it up to friends
Speaker 3: and family that were showing up.
Speaker 4: All they did is they opted to.
Speaker 3: Tell them beware of the al hoops and don't go
Speaker 3: out after dark. We saw something looking in the window.
Speaker 3: Ados don't know what it was, but it stared in
Speaker 3: the window at us, and they basically left it at
Speaker 3: that for fear of ridicule from friends and family. That
Speaker 3: sucks all. Grant you, nothing ultra violent happened or anything
Speaker 3: of that nature, he said, Looking back on it, it
Speaker 3: seemed more curious the whole growling thing he attributed to
Speaker 3: a firearm. Now that's twenty twenty hind sight, I'm sure
Speaker 3: in the moment it felt a lot different for it.
Speaker 3: But I'm going to thank Josh and Bridget for sharing
Speaker 3: that with me, being patient with me getting back a
Speaker 3: hold of them. I wanted to share with you what
Speaker 3: comes from Oscar. Where this happened was along the Copper River,
Speaker 3: approximately about ten years ago. Oscar raised in the area.
Speaker 3: I grew up in the area, was back visiting family.
Speaker 3: While he was visiting, one of his aunties asked him
Speaker 3: to collect some basically, to go collect some fireweeds. He
Speaker 3: takes off, breaks a three fifty seven pistol with him,
Speaker 3: goes hiking along the trail that was just adjacent to
Speaker 3: the river. It was actually a smaller river that immediately
Speaker 3: blows right into the Copper River. He left specifics out
Speaker 3: because his family still lives there. How activity is still
Speaker 3: going on. He doesn't want anyone rushing to the area.
Speaker 3: He's hiking along. As he's hiking along. To his left
Speaker 3: hand side is the river. Into his right hand side
Speaker 3: is a bunch of tall grass, some fireweed, a tree
Speaker 3: line app asimately about sixty yards off, but that sixty
Speaker 3: yards off varies because ebbs and flows back and forth,
Speaker 3: closer to the river bank, further away, and so on.
Speaker 3: He's walking along, he's not all that far from whereas
Speaker 3: An and other relatives are at. He's roughly a quarter
Speaker 3: mile away. Now. As he's going along, out of the
Speaker 3: corner of his eye, he notices brown hopping in the
Speaker 3: grass roughly about thirty forty yards off, about half the
Speaker 3: distance between him and the tree line. It caught his
Speaker 3: attention immediately. He's thinking, oh shit, there's a bear stalking me.
Speaker 3: So he pulls out the pistol and starts yelling, Hey bear, Bear,
Speaker 3: Hey bear. He noticed it still just kind of just
Speaker 3: sees brown what he assumed was for at first, hopping
Speaker 3: just above the grass height. He was really confused because
Speaker 3: he'd never seen a bear move like that. Immediately he thought, compromise, bear,
Speaker 3: even more dangerous. This bear must be injured. Maybe he's
Speaker 3: got to trap on his paws. Why it's hopping, he
Speaker 3: was EQUI it to that. So he decides, Shit, it
Speaker 3: doesn't look too big. Let me go find out exactly
Speaker 3: what's going on with this thing. Against his better judgment,
Speaker 3: he wanted to make sure because it's so close to
Speaker 3: his family and relatives with elders. If it was a
Speaker 3: smaller bear that was wounded and needed to be put down,
Speaker 3: he could dispatch it or attempt to with a three
Speaker 3: fifty seven and end any danger. At least that's his
Speaker 3: initial thoughts. That all changes rather quickly as he starts
Speaker 3: going towards this thing in the last direction he's seen
Speaker 3: it hopping. He realized about ten yards in, I shouldn't
Speaker 3: be going after a wounded bear with just this three
Speaker 3: point fifty seven. I should probably have a larger caliber gun.
Speaker 3: So he stops. He retreats out of there. He's looking around,
Speaker 3: doesn't notice the brown hopping anymore, but it's really quiet.
Speaker 3: He decides, I'm going to go get my uncle's shotgun.
Speaker 3: Come back with a shotgun. Maybe my uncle can come
Speaker 3: with me. Four eyes are better than two. Find this bear,
Speaker 3: put it down, chase it off, whatever.
Speaker 4: So he goes rounds up his uncle.
Speaker 3: His uncle, we'd begrudgingly came along with understood why his
Speaker 3: nephew was asking him to come along the say the
Speaker 3: case of a bear. So his uncle has a shotgun.
Speaker 3: He has a three fifty seven. They go back to
Speaker 3: where he last saw the hopping. They start walking towards
Speaker 3: the tree line looking for sign of this thing. They
Speaker 3: saw some grass laid over. They saw what appeared to
Speaker 3: be a path going towards the tree, so they take it.
Speaker 3: They looked fresh, especially broken grass split apart, obvious trail
Speaker 3: through there. As they're going along, they come into an
Speaker 3: area just before the tree line where it clears out
Speaker 3: a little bit and there's a little bit of a
Speaker 3: muddy patch. He's noticing the tracks or one in front
Speaker 3: of the other directly in about four and a half
Speaker 3: feet apart. They're not bear tracks, they're barefootprint tracks. And
Speaker 3: immediately he stops. His uncle bumps into him because his
Speaker 3: uncle's staring down trying to make out partial track that
Speaker 3: he just saw. He points out the tracks and his
Speaker 3: uncle goes, ah jakaiak Harryman monster Oscar is like, come on, whatever,
Speaker 3: it's obviously a double step from a bear. Let's continue on.
Speaker 3: His uncle immediately shuts him down, says no, We're not
Speaker 3: going any further. He argues with his uncle a little bit.
Speaker 3: His uncle is an elder when his mid late sixties
Speaker 3: at this point, tells Oscar gently but firmly, we're not
Speaker 3: continuing any further. We're going to back out of here.
Speaker 3: We're going back leave this alone. It's obviously moved away,
Speaker 3: and let's leave it be. As they're having this discussion,
Speaker 3: they are right up almost to the tree line, so
Speaker 3: they're about sixty yards from that trail, the main trail
Speaker 3: that they were on, and where they were it was
Speaker 3: like a big half moon shaped but like I said,
Speaker 3: it ebbs and flows in distance between the tree line
Speaker 3: and the river bank, so it's like a big oreshoe
Speaker 3: half moon cup kind of shit shape in the in
Speaker 3: the street line behind them, back towards the cabin, they
Speaker 3: hear this real sharp, piercing whistle. He said it was
Speaker 3: almost to the point of felt like his ears were
Speaker 3: gonna bleed. It was so intense, high pitched and loud,
Speaker 3: just so loud. They immediately whip around both one point
Speaker 3: and gun in that direction, trying to figure out what
Speaker 3: the hell was that. His uncle said, I told you
Speaker 3: we need to go. Let's side step over to the
Speaker 3: trail and get gone. So as they're doing so, they're
Speaker 3: still looking the direction of the sharp whistle, the direction
Speaker 3: it came from. Now, as they're going along, they're side stepping,
Speaker 3: they're not necessarily paying attention as far as you know,
Speaker 3: off their peripherals. They're focused on the direction that they
Speaker 3: still have to go by that way on that trail.
Speaker 3: Keep that in mind as they get in just back
Speaker 3: over to that main trail. Oscar said, there was a
Speaker 3: return sharp whistle from immediately that trail they were just following,
Speaker 3: just off behind them on their left intensity different little
Speaker 3: bit different pitch, but same intensity, the same lengths.
Speaker 4: Immediately they turn and their focus.
Speaker 3: Goes that direction. All they see is a single spruce
Speaker 3: tree shaken. The rest of the trees are dead, still,
Speaker 3: no other sound going on except this one tree just wiggling. Immediately,
Speaker 3: his uncle says, we really need to pick up our pace,
Speaker 3: but don't run. Let's go continuing back down this trail.
Speaker 3: So that tree line comes up to about within twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five yards of the trail, a little further back
Speaker 3: the direction they came. As they're getting to that point,
Speaker 3: another sharp whistle comes from the direction of the tracks
Speaker 3: where they saw the tracks turn around, what have you.
Speaker 3: It gets their attention because it was again very loud, crisp,
Speaker 3: very intense. They both look back see a dark figure
Speaker 3: standing between two trees. This thing's pulling on to two
Speaker 3: spruce trees, just shaking them. They've seen it lift its
Speaker 3: head and make that whistle again. When it lifted its head,
Speaker 3: he said, it almost looked like the jaw widened. From
Speaker 3: his perspective, it looked like his jaw widened out or something. Again,
Speaker 3: it could have just, you know, been an optical thing,
Speaker 3: but that's what stood out to him when he saw that.
Speaker 3: Let's out that second, wasn't They watch it do it,
Speaker 3: and immediately off to their right, right inside the trees
Speaker 3: off to the right hand side, a return whistle. The
Speaker 3: return whistle was directed at them, not the one across
Speaker 3: the way. Immediately the focus changed again right off onto
Speaker 3: their right point and guns that direction. Uncle starts yelling,
Speaker 3: go away, we got nothing for you. You gotta leave. Not
Speaker 3: a sound, dead quiet. He said. He doesn't even remember
Speaker 3: hearing the river directly behind them. They were roughly not
Speaker 3: even ten yards off the river. As they're standing there,
Speaker 3: he said, it felt like a standoff, because they weren't
Speaker 3: moving anymore. There wasn't no sound. He said, he was
Speaker 3: prairie dogging. As they were standing there, he's trying to
Speaker 3: collect himself. The thing that stood out the most was
Speaker 3: how dead quiet it was. His uncle took a step back,
Speaker 3: bumped into Oscar a little bit and ignulged him with
Speaker 3: his elbow and points, and when he points, Oscar sees
Speaker 3: what he's pointing at. He sees that same brown color
Speaker 3: he saw earlier, right inside the trees doing this, looking
Speaker 3: like something hopping around right. And immediately they're both puzzled
Speaker 3: and they're trying to figure out what what do we
Speaker 3: Is that a bear because again it looked like a
Speaker 3: bear on all fours, but it wasn't shape the same.
Speaker 4: That's why they're thrown off, But it was very similar
Speaker 4: in coloration.
Speaker 3: As they're staring at it, sharp whistle comes from back
Speaker 3: over in that direction of that trail they were following.
Speaker 3: So as soon as he hears that whistle, his uncle
Speaker 3: backs up one more step, Oscar harder. It reaches back
Speaker 3: without looking and grabs a hold of Oscar's coat and
Speaker 3: starts dragging them off off to their right side. Stepping
Speaker 3: down the trail as they do. There was a little
Speaker 3: bit of a dog leg in the trail for whatever reason. Well,
Speaker 3: his uncle went to step just through. It was only grass.
Speaker 3: There wasn't no obstacles or anything. For whatever reason, the
Speaker 3: trail was just that way. As his uncle does that,
Speaker 3: he trips and falls over. Now immediately oscar the tension
Speaker 3: is down on his uncle. His uncle was elderly. He
Speaker 3: wanted to make sure he didn't break a hip. All
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Helps his uncle up. In the meantime,
Speaker 3: they're hearing noises off in the distance, but he's not
Speaker 3: watching because he's trying to help his uncle. As they're
Speaker 3: hearing these noises, he gets his uncle up. They both
Speaker 3: their attention is towards the direction of the noises, and
Speaker 3: his uncle asks him, are you hearing that? He goes, yes,
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's just right over here in the trees. Now,
Speaker 3: these trees pretty dense undergrowth. This was roughly late fall.
Speaker 3: It was pretty thick in there. They couldn't necessarily see
Speaker 3: anything in there, especially up to about six feet up
Speaker 3: because of all the undergrowth and vegetation. It was about
Speaker 3: six foot high, and then the spruce and a couple
Speaker 3: of birch or whatever was coming out behind it. As
Speaker 3: they're looking in that direction, they can still hear the
Speaker 3: noises being made. He said it sounded like scurrying of
Speaker 3: a large animal, like a just kind of scurrying around.
Speaker 3: He said the leaves had just started falling, but not
Speaker 3: all of them. Some were still on the trees. Now,
Speaker 3: when he was looking, his uncle kept nudging him, and
Speaker 3: he thought his uncle was just trying to get his
Speaker 3: attention to pay attention to the noise. So he's basically
Speaker 3: ignoring his uncle's little elbows. All of a sudden, his
Speaker 3: uncle whispers in his ear. Look over to the right,
Speaker 3: over to the right, So Oscar, he gets his attention.
Speaker 3: He looks over to the right. He said, what was
Speaker 3: standing there was almost eleven foot tall. He came back
Speaker 3: and measured the tree that it was standing next to,
Speaker 3: and that's where he came up with that number eleven
Speaker 3: foot tall. He said it wasn't overly huge, and he
Speaker 3: said it was slender, slim, had a brownish orangish brown
Speaker 3: kind of color to it, but it wasn't the same
Speaker 3: color brown that they saw with the little hopping motion.
Speaker 3: Looking at this thing, he said, It was partially silhouetted,
Speaker 3: so they didn't get any face details, except they could
Speaker 3: tell it had a nose that was flattened down right
Speaker 3: to the face. The eyes just looked like big, dark sockets.
Speaker 3: The hair, he said, was six to eight inches along
Speaker 3: the head and shoulders. It had as far as basically
Speaker 3: head down the shoulders. It basically had.
Speaker 1: No neck and stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea,
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: He said that the way it was swaying back and
Speaker 3: forth was very intimidating, and they were transfixed on this. Right.
Speaker 3: As they're staring at this thing, Oscar gets the creeps
Speaker 3: and his attention is drawn back off to his left.
Speaker 3: When he looks over to his left, he sees a
Speaker 3: smaller one, and as he looks over at it, it
Speaker 3: ducks down right behind the brush that's roughly about six
Speaker 3: foot tall. Here's crashing and snapping, and immediately it's a
Speaker 3: gun in that direction because it sounds like it's coming
Speaker 3: at them, but in actuality it was quartering back towards
Speaker 3: this other one off to their right. He's focusing his
Speaker 3: gun following it. It's in the grass. Now it's still
Speaker 3: doing this little hopping thing. It looked like hopping. As
Speaker 3: it got up closer to the other one, it stood up.
Speaker 3: And when it stood up, he said, it was just
Speaker 3: under the shoulder as far as height. When that one
Speaker 3: turned around and looked back at them, had really big eyes,
Speaker 3: same type of nose. Said that it was weird around
Speaker 3: the jaw. The jaw looked extra wide, almost like it
Speaker 3: shouldn't be. He said, that really stood out. It had
Speaker 3: the grizzled brown kind of hair, like a bear or
Speaker 3: a moose. They both looking at him, and his uncle
Speaker 3: turned and cortered away back into the trees not too
Speaker 3: far from the back side of this tree line. Oscar's
Speaker 3: well aware of the terrain. It goes in and starts
Speaker 3: going up into the hills and into the mountaines. As
Speaker 3: they're sitting there getting the grips of what's going on,
Speaker 3: his uncle said, that's not the first time I've seen
Speaker 3: these two. I saw him once before, three years prior.
Speaker 3: They leave the area. They get back to the cabin immediately.
Speaker 3: Oscar's all over his uncle. What happened when you saw
Speaker 3: them last? He said. The smaller one was about half
Speaker 3: as tall, had been doing something very similar to what
Speaker 3: Oscar had saw with this little hopping motion. But when
Speaker 3: his uncle saw it, it was in the open. It
Speaker 3: was doing this galloping thing, half running, half galloping, doing
Speaker 3: this hop to its run.
Speaker 4: It was just going back and forth.
Speaker 3: He said. When he saw that one, initially it was
Speaker 3: doing that, and he saw the second one standing in
Speaker 3: the trees staring at him, and he left. That's why
Speaker 3: Oscar didn't want to share the exact location, he said,
Speaker 3: it's ongoing. I had given me an invitation. I can't
Speaker 3: make it down that way right now at wintertime and
Speaker 3: all this shit. It just a bit much. I will
Speaker 3: take them up on that in the near future, maybe
Speaker 3: after a couple of excursions this spring. Oscar, thanks for
Speaker 3: being patient with me getting back to you. I appreciate
Speaker 3: your patience. I wanted to share with you today. We'll
Speaker 3: say her name is Martha. She is from a remote
Speaker 3: Allusian village. We'll just leave it at that. Because the
Speaker 3: community is so small. She had a hard time sharing
Speaker 3: it asked that I didn't share anything too pertinent. I'm
Speaker 3: going to respect that she had a hard enough time
Speaker 3: coming forward. This is a little person experience with little people.
Speaker 3: What happened to her is that she was at her
Speaker 3: grandpa's house in this remote village. Her grandpa's house was
Speaker 3: the farthest house away from the rest of the village
Speaker 3: by about a half mile. Now, this happened to her
Speaker 3: when she was little. Family members had left to go hunting.
Speaker 3: She was left there to tend the house and do
Speaker 3: some other things. Martha right now is approximately eighty four
Speaker 3: years old, so we're going back. This I believe, she said,
Speaker 3: happened right around statehood or just before statehood. So she's
Speaker 3: doing her thing. She'd already did the chores of the house,
Speaker 3: cleaning and everything. She was prepping food for everyone when
Speaker 3: it came back from the hut. One of the things
Speaker 3: she would do is go out to the smokehouse, retrieve salmon,
Speaker 3: dried fish, dried seal, whatever they had, bring it in,
Speaker 3: put it on the windbreak, and as she set up
Speaker 3: the table, she would bring in from out there. Now
Speaker 3: when this happened, they were gone, The hunting party was
Speaker 3: gone longer than anticipated. They got caught by darkness and
Speaker 3: rough water, so they had to stay where they were
Speaker 3: at basically and hunk her down overnight. And she didn't
Speaker 3: know this till the next day. So she gets everything
Speaker 3: ready and she has the dry fish and seal meat
Speaker 3: and whatnot out on the windbreak as she normally would do.
Speaker 3: As she is doing her thing and anticipating everyone coming,
Speaker 3: she realized that it had gotten dark and they're probably
Speaker 3: not coming. She wanted to not leave everything out on
Speaker 3: the wind break. She figured she'd bring it in put
Speaker 3: the dry fish in the sink. So she goes out
Speaker 3: onto the porch, and when she goes out onto the porch,
Speaker 3: she noticed the seal meat is missing. Immediately, is like
Speaker 3: she knew she had got the seal meat, had it there.
Speaker 3: It's missing. All of a sudden, she looks around make
Speaker 3: sure it didn't fall off the little It was like
Speaker 3: a little wooden table they had kept the stuff on.
Speaker 3: She noticed it wasn't there, So she steps out off
Speaker 3: the wind break, down the little steps and she goes
Speaker 3: back over towards the smokehouse. Is basically a cash This
Speaker 3: particular cash was dug into the ground. It wasn't elevated
Speaker 3: up because they didn't have brown bears that would climb
Speaker 3: or whatever. She goes to the dugout and notices the
Speaker 3: door is kicked open a little bit, but.
Speaker 4: She's getting close. Now it's getting on in the dark.
Speaker 3: She is using the last little bit of light she
Speaker 3: can see to get into this little dugout and grabs
Speaker 3: some more seal meat to make sure, just in case
Speaker 3: they did come home late, that she would be ready
Speaker 3: for them to be able to eat. Now. When she
Speaker 3: gets up to the door and notice says it opened
Speaker 3: a little bit, she immediately backs up because she thought
Speaker 3: she heard someone talking. So she spoke out, and you
Speaker 3: pick and ask who's there, and it got quiet, so
Speaker 3: she backed away and she got really scared for a.
Speaker 4: Minute and squatted down along the tundra.
Speaker 3: The cast was up a little bit on the rise
Speaker 3: on the hill because it was dug in. She backed
Speaker 3: down and punkered down to see who was going into
Speaker 3: their smokehouse the little cash area. As she's sitting there,
Speaker 3: she notices two figures come out and scurry off very fast,
Speaker 3: she said, moved so fast it was hard to keep
Speaker 3: track of them. They ran off, went down the hill
Speaker 3: and were out of sight. She got spooked out, didn't
Speaker 3: grab any seal meat, went retreated right back into her
Speaker 3: gampa's house. She got inside. As she was sitting there
Speaker 3: trying to figure out who of those two people.
Speaker 4: They were too small to be adults, and I know
Speaker 4: all the kids.
Speaker 3: So she's going through her mind trying to figure out
Speaker 3: as she hears the same, similar kind of talking on
Speaker 3: the porch. Once she came running inside, she didn't shut
Speaker 3: the door. She had left it open. She creeps over
Speaker 3: to the door and she's trying to listen. She said,
Speaker 3: it sounded like they were speaking you pick as well.
Speaker 3: She sat by the door listening to try to figure
Speaker 3: out recognized voices. It was just quiet enough and garbled enough.
Speaker 3: She couldn't quite make out what was being said. As
Speaker 3: she's sitting there, she's scared. She was young, very scared,
Speaker 3: just trying to figure out what the hell's going on.
Speaker 4: As she's doing so, she's hearing a thumping sound.
Speaker 3: Don't, don't, and she's trying to figure out where it's
Speaker 3: coming from. It sounds like it's right by her. What
Speaker 3: it was actually was the window back in the kitchen
Speaker 3: behind her thumping. Someone was thumping against it. She turned
Speaker 3: around and looked, and whatever was there duck down out
Speaker 3: of the way. She just caught some motion in the window.
Speaker 3: She's who is this? So she goes over by the
Speaker 3: sink and is trying to look out the window and everything. Now,
Speaker 3: in these days they only had kerosene lanterns. They didn't
Speaker 3: have electricity there. She had some coal oil candles, candles
Speaker 3: with animal fats. She was trying to hold up one
Speaker 3: of the candles and say, hey, don't be playing games.
Speaker 3: No response, no answer. She continues to hear the talking
Speaker 3: on the porch. She goes.
Speaker 4: She retrieves one of the handguns.
Speaker 3: They had, an old Colt thirty eight, little five shot
Speaker 3: revolver breaktop that type. She goes and gets it, basically
Speaker 3: to make a stand. She starts calling out, I have
Speaker 3: a gun. You need to leave.
Speaker 4: You're not welcome here. She hears scurrying gone. After a
Speaker 4: few moments, she takes one of the lanterns, goes out
Speaker 4: on the porch, make sure it's all clear. All the
Speaker 4: fish that she had brought up was gone. All the
Speaker 4: seal meat that she had brought was gone. She shuts
Speaker 4: the outer door, locks it, retreats back inside on one
Speaker 4: of the chairs. It was her grandpa's chair. In front
Speaker 4: of her grandpa's chair is an old spool that they
Speaker 4: used to roll out wire on.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: This one was a real old one, so she's sitting there.
Speaker 3: She has that spool and she sets the pistol on it.
Speaker 3: She has the lantern right there. She's sitting there trying
Speaker 3: to figure out what has happened. As she's doing so,
Speaker 3: she's sitting there and she hears someone coming up the
Speaker 3: steps and then here's knocking, and it was knocking. It
Speaker 3: was a neighbor. It was a neighbor down the way.
Speaker 3: The neighbor came asking her was she messing around on
Speaker 3: their windbreak. She said, no, I'd been here. I was
Speaker 3: trying to get food ready. I saw what I thought
Speaker 3: were kids run off with the stuff and kind of
Speaker 3: gave the neighbor the rundown of what happened. Neighbors didn't
Speaker 3: believe her at first and started chastising her about playing games.
Speaker 3: People could get shot. You know, you don't go stealing
Speaker 3: from people, and she I didn't steal nothing. She explains again,
Speaker 3: I saw these little people look like kids, and they
Speaker 3: ran off really fast from our cash. This is what
Speaker 3: I'm dealing with, and she points out, I got my
Speaker 3: grandpa's pistol out, I got the land, you know, the
Speaker 3: lamp and everything. The neighbor sees and then starts to
Speaker 3: believe her says, okay, we'll stay here. I'm going to
Speaker 3: have my wife come sit with you until your family
Speaker 3: gets back.
Speaker 4: Neighbor leaves. It's dead quiet for a while, she said.
Speaker 3: About ten minutes or so later, she hears someone coming
Speaker 3: up the steps again. As she hears that, she assumes
Speaker 3: it's the neighbor's wife coming to sit with her. She
Speaker 3: gets up, goes opens the door with the lamp. When
Speaker 3: she opens the door with the lamp, she said there
Speaker 3: was at least three little people she could see. She
Speaker 3: said they had really round faces, really flat faces, similar
Speaker 3: to what Russ Black shared with us, a weird shaped nose.
Speaker 3: She said the faces weren't necessarily scary, but different. She
Speaker 3: said they looked like a very dark leathery look like
Speaker 3: a buckskin type, but darker. Once she brought the lantern
Speaker 3: out onto the porch, she said, all their eyes were
Speaker 3: just pitch black. There was no white, no nothing, She said,
Speaker 3: they were just black. Once they saw the lantern, they
Speaker 3: all scurried off real fast. Again. She freaked out, shuts
Speaker 3: the doors, backs up, gets the gun. Moments later, the
Speaker 3: neighbor comes shows back up with his wife. She's got
Speaker 3: the gun and she's yelling, don't come in, don't come in.
Speaker 3: I will I'll shoot the neighbor. She hears the neighbor say, hey,
Speaker 3: do you put the gun down. We're coming in. Don't shoot.
Speaker 3: She's all, thank goodness, someone's here. She go sets the
Speaker 3: gun down, opens the door, lets them in, and tells
Speaker 3: them what happened. And the neighbor just looks at her
Speaker 3: and goes, okay, I'm gonna go. Look, I'm gonna use
Speaker 3: your grandpa's gun because I didn't bring mine. Grabs her
Speaker 3: grandpa's gun, goes out, spends time out there. She doesn't
Speaker 3: remember exactly how much time, but he spent time out there,
Speaker 3: comes back in, tells her and his wife get your stuff.
Speaker 3: We're all going back to our house. She was raised
Speaker 3: by the village, so to speak, so she didn't question anything.
Speaker 3: An elder okay, we'll go to your house. So she
Speaker 3: leaves a note, went to the neighbors what have you?
Speaker 3: They leave. Once they got back to the neighbor's house,
Speaker 3: that's when the neighbor started talking about what he saw.
Speaker 3: He went out to check out the cash and he
Speaker 3: saw five of them. They were all just right in
Speaker 3: front of the cash. They had their backs to him
Speaker 3: or whatever, and he called out to them. One of
Speaker 3: them turned around and then ran off same direction she
Speaker 3: had seen him run earlier. He was looking at the
Speaker 3: other four facing away from him, but it seemed like
Speaker 3: their figures, their shapes just melted away in essence disappeared.
Speaker 4: But it wasn't like a poof disappear.
Speaker 3: It was more like his word was melted away, just
Speaker 3: melted into the background, like they weren't there. I want
Speaker 3: to thank Martha for sharing that because she had always
Speaker 3: heard about the little people. They're mischievous, beware kids, they'll
Speaker 3: steal the kids, things of that nature. But she didn't
Speaker 3: realize just how scary it was going to be, because
Speaker 3: even in her age now, once she thinks back on it, it
Speaker 3: makes her very nervous. When I talked to her, she repetitive,
Speaker 3: got nervous just reliving it in her mind. There was
Speaker 3: long pauses in between what she was sharing, and I
Speaker 3: had to be patient for that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I want to thank her for sharing what I wanted
Speaker 3: to share with you today. Happened to Brian back in
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. Brian, former military, just slight background outside of
Speaker 3: suerb He jumped on a construction contract type deal where
Speaker 3: they were going to be moving a camp from a
Speaker 3: low lying basically an island in a lagoon that's prone
Speaker 3: to washing out that's very dangerous to a new camp
Speaker 3: on higher ground and also to clear a helo pad.
Speaker 3: So he hired on in June of twenty fifteen. Now,
Speaker 3: for the first month or so, everything was just picturesque
Speaker 3: a work environment was fine, had a great time, no problems,
Speaker 3: ermine and little babies messing around by his tent. Just picturesque,
Speaker 3: beautiful content environment he set. Up to that point, he
Speaker 3: had been getting a lot at work done, had no issues,
Speaker 3: never had any weird, creepy feelings or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Come roun to mid July, approximately July eighteenth, he was
Speaker 3: dealing with an infection in his knee. So camped where
Speaker 3: his leg was elevated in a small Nyland tent. It
Speaker 3: was to a point of elevation where his head basically
Speaker 3: was hanging outside of the tent, had a shotgun next
Speaker 3: to him, had no worries, no concern about his safety.
Speaker 3: But he goes to sleep after thickness, antibiotics for his knee,
Speaker 3: and finally getting comfortable as he was sleeping. Something woke
Speaker 3: him up about one o'clock in the morning. Coastal sea
Speaker 3: fog had rolled in. It really just blackened everything out
Speaker 3: land of the midnight sun is true up to a
Speaker 3: certain point, but once it starts dropping off, you get darkness.
Speaker 3: Not one hundred percent darkness, but with the sea fog,
Speaker 3: it can get real dark. So he was dealing with that.
Speaker 3: He assumed it was probably a coyote or something small
Speaker 3: predatory animal just maybe sniffed him and that's what roused him.
Speaker 1: And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea will
Speaker 1: be right back.
Speaker 3: After these messages, he figures, I'm just gonna give a
Speaker 3: little bit of a cough, clear my throat kind of
Speaker 3: thing and run it off. He makes his cough, something
Speaker 3: very large, he guess to makes about four feet away,
Speaker 3: takes off running away. He heard the movement, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't until he heard twelve individual footsteps going away towards
Speaker 3: the trail he had cut for the new camp. Because
Speaker 3: he was still at the old camp. He was doing
Speaker 3: the preparations and whatnot. He said, the fear didn't kick
Speaker 3: in until he felt the ground shake from the first
Speaker 3: step boom.
Speaker 4: That startled him. He was frozen in fear.
Speaker 3: He said he clearly heard the twelve steps hit the
Speaker 3: water and was gone. Once he pulled himself together, he
Speaker 3: tried to ask his coworker did you hear that? And
Speaker 3: co workers didn't hear any of it, slept right through it.
Speaker 3: So his boss makes it back to their camp the
Speaker 3: next day, brought some four wheeler parts. He had to
Speaker 3: go and fix a four wheeler up by the new camp.
Speaker 3: They hadn't quite moved over that way yet. But he
Speaker 3: goes up there and he can't shake the fear that
Speaker 3: he was dealing with. He was constantly watching their verizon,
Speaker 3: looking around, checking the tree line constantly, couldn't let it go.
Speaker 3: Try to tell his boss about His boss said, hey,
Speaker 3: you're being paranoid. You got nothing to worry about. Just
Speaker 3: get your work done. Totally dismissed his concerns as, oh,
Speaker 3: you're just paranoid. You're just paranoid. Don't be paranoid, You're
Speaker 3: in Alaska. Basically, suck it up. So he does this thing,
Speaker 3: he deals with it. The experience happened on the eighteenth
Speaker 3: at approximately one am or so. The following work day
Speaker 3: is with the four wheeler thing where he couldn't concentrate well.
Speaker 3: Just before the end of the month, his boss comes
Speaker 3: back to him. They had a bunch of clients that
Speaker 3: were going to be coming in because this is what
Speaker 3: this camp was for, outdoor recreation. So he was asked
Speaker 3: to go pick a bunch of blueberries.
Speaker 4: He takes a.
Speaker 3: Percolator copper can, goes to fill it up with blueberries
Speaker 3: so the clients have fresh blueberry pancakes. He jumps in
Speaker 3: the skiff, goes down to where he knows the berry patches.
Speaker 3: He parks the skiff immediately isn't feeling right. Immediately, He's
Speaker 3: not feeling good about it at all. He only had
Speaker 3: to go in so far to get to the berries.
Speaker 3: But Brian said he could feel something watching him. He
Speaker 3: said it felt like it was ten to twenty feet
Speaker 3: away if that, but he couldn't see anything. He was
Speaker 3: trying to pick berries, and finally he just snatched one
Speaker 3: of the blueberry bushes, ripped it out of the ground,
Speaker 3: retreated back to the skiff, just took what he had.
Speaker 3: He gets back in the skiff runs the berries back.
Speaker 3: Of course, his boss was very unhappy. There is not
Speaker 3: even near enough for the clients. You might as well
Speaker 3: eat them. Brian ate him. He felt his boss is
Speaker 3: being a jerk, not hearing him out, not being willing
Speaker 3: to listen, and so within a very short period of time,
Speaker 3: he had made an excuse to bow out and basically
Speaker 3: left that job. Now one of the things that bothers
Speaker 3: me is he doesn't camp for anything anymore. Now, this
Speaker 3: former military here not a wallflower. Experiences that happen to
Speaker 3: people can just totally take it out of them that
Speaker 3: lose the passion for being in the woods. I know
Speaker 3: that one I don't have the passion I once did.
Speaker 3: I'll still go out in the woods, but nothing's the same.
Speaker 3: I can't get into it. I could be there, but
Speaker 3: I can't get into it like I once did. I'm
Speaker 3: just thankful that I forced myself to get back on
Speaker 3: the horse immediately and get back out after what happened
Speaker 3: with me. I understand that feeling of screw that I
Speaker 3: ain't going out in the woods have fun. There is
Speaker 3: a whole lot of people that no longer go in
Speaker 3: the woods because of situations like this. He felt it
Speaker 3: in the ground when this scene ran off. Now again,
Speaker 3: he's well versed Alaskan, been around bears, moose. It wasn't
Speaker 3: any of those. Especially the amount of fear these things
Speaker 3: invoked almost impossible to shake, in my opinion, just in
Speaker 3: my humble opinion, once you've been startled in this way,
Speaker 3: there's no way to just shake it or pretend it
Speaker 3: didn't happen. Brian's a perfect example of that. Unfortunately, he
Speaker 3: basically quit that job, has stayed away from the woods,
Speaker 3: which is very unfortunate, which I understand. That's one of
Speaker 3: the reasons I had the map at the website Subartic
Speaker 3: Alaska Sasquatch dot com, so people who are in Alaska
Speaker 3: are coming to Alaska can zoom in on the map
Speaker 3: and see, oh hey, that marker is near where we're
Speaker 3: going to go, and see what happened with that person,
Speaker 3: just so they have it in their minds like that, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, this person had this happen over here, you know,
Speaker 3: a scream, whatever it may be. But the head's up.
Speaker 3: There's still going to be a whole lot of naysayers,
Speaker 3: so there's no way around there. It's just not going
Speaker 3: to happen. Brian also has had anyone else in the
Speaker 3: Seward area that had any experiences like that to get
Speaker 3: a hold of me via the website or whatever. Brian
Speaker 3: said he'd be willing to talk to anybody from that
Speaker 3: area if they had something similar happen, because all this
Speaker 3: transpired at where he was working near Bear Glacier. A
Speaker 3: lot of little outfits, whether it be fishing, kayaking, you
Speaker 3: name it, deep sea fishing. They have all sorts of
Speaker 3: little places out there. I'm sure Brian is not the
Speaker 3: last person to have walked away from a job. Very unfortunate.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that suffer in silence. I've
Speaker 3: said it before, reach out it. It may feel silly
Speaker 3: at first, but once you get it off your chest,
Speaker 3: you feel a lot better, especially in a non judgmental place,
Speaker 3: because even when I was sharing my experience with others,
Speaker 3: I would always get that the eye roll whatever, lay
Speaker 3: off the herb, or lay off the drink, or and
Speaker 3: just garbage. I want to thank Brian for sharing.
Speaker 4: I want to thank you guys for joining me today.
Speaker 3: We will check you guys on the next one. Say
Speaker 3: you don't gotta go home, but.
Speaker 1: You can't stay and I don't want to be alone.
Speaker 3: World opens.
