WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.359 Welcome back to Sasquatch Theory. Today, I'm joined once again 2 00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.800 by John from Canada for part two of his story. 3 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.079 In our first conversation, John shared years of strange experiences 4 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:22.559 in the Canadian wilderness, including unusual tracks, vocalizations, possible sasquatch activity, 5 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.440 and encounters that left him questioning exactly what might be 6 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.200 living in these remote forests. Today, John continues his story 7 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.119 with even more unusual experiences. He recalls coming across a 8 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.719 terrified park worker armed with bear spray who believed a 9 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.640 large creature was following him through the woods. John also 10 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.560 talks about missing time and was John simply experiencing a 11 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.640 series of unusual events in the Canadian wilderness or is 12 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.280 there something much stranger behind these encounters.

All right, John, 20 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.159 welcome back to Sasquatch Theory. It's an absolute pleasure to 21 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.560 have you back on the show. How are you doing today. 22 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.120 I'm doing well. Thank you, and the greetings to everybody 23 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.280 listening as well. Yeah. 24 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.159 Absolutely, last time we didn't get enough time to finish 25 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.040 up your story, so we're doing that today, John, if 26 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.120 you would continue with your encounters and experiences from Canada, please. 27 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.280 Yes. Okay. So when you touched upon asking if anybody 28 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.040 if I got terrorized by them or fearful. I never did, 29 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.800 but I got shocked and surprised. But I did encounter 30 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.439 somebody that was afraid and I read a sighting by 31 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.360 a park worker on one of them. I think it 32 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.759 was a big foot reporting center, and you know, I 33 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.919 was scanning through all these people's stories, you know, just 34 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.919 it was really drawing up my story. So I saw 35 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.280 one where a park worker on Corey Road, at which 36 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.520 in Cree, felt creepy, like something was watching him as 37 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.879 he removed rocks from the trail and he was really 38 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.520 creeped out by it. So that was his report, and 39 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.039 I thought I was there that day. I ran into him, 40 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.479 but he had written a different time like a different year, 41 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.520 so I thought, oh, that's not the year I was there. 42 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.719 But my encounter was with him was I was walking 43 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.039 back down from the falls. We had finished the tour, 44 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.360 like we were heading back down Corey Road. Was ten 45 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.759 minutes into the hike, and I come across his park 46 00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.919 worker ducking looking in the woods with his bears break 47 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.919 and like he's about to spray something. And as somebody 48 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.159 scuffed their foot. I had a pretty quiet group and 49 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.199 somebody scuffed their foot and he spun and I'm like, 50 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.080 don't shoot, I'm not a bear, and he's like, oh, 51 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.280 I'm glad to see you guys. I'm like, what's going on. 52 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.120 He's like, man, I was taking these big rocks off 53 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.680 the trail. Somebody's put these rocks all down. The rocks 54 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.960 fight all the way down Corey Road, like every fifty 55 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.719 feet there's these big rocks placed in the middle of 56 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.360 the road. And he's like, has a moving these rocks. 57 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.520 There's something behind me. It was really creeping me out. 58 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.759 He's like, really creeping. I goes it was a bear 59 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.719 and he's like, I don't think it's a bear. And 60 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.960 all of a sudden, one of my students is like Hey, 61 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.919 there's something under the furnace here. It's moving right, it's 62 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.319 free and this thing was moving around very casually, but 63 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.879 we couldn't see it, and so then then it kind 64 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.919 of just faded off. I'm like, then that's not acting 65 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.159 like a bear, and he's like, I don't know what 66 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:52.919 that is, but it was. It was. It made me 67 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.159 feel creeped out, like I was scared, and so this 68 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.360 guy was terrified. I'm like, well, okay, we don't know 69 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.759 what it was. Continued on and I had these rushing 70 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.080 guys and they're like, let's help them, and they're they're 71 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.400 lifting the rocks off the trail, and I ran into 72 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.800 a couple of other guys. I'm like, how far dout 73 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.280 of these rocks filing? He goes all the way down 74 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.280 to the picnic and I'm like, holy cow, who would 75 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.759 do this? He's like, ah, some kids. And I thought 76 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.360 about the kids that I was hearing in the park, 77 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.240 and I'm like, who are these kids? They sounded like 78 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.839 a bunch of rowdy boys. Okay, And now this is 79 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.040 the same time, like when the monkeys were going and stuff. 80 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.040 Different things are happening, and so I just thought these kids, like, well, 81 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.240 it could be these kids I hear sometimes they're kind 82 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.519 of rowdy and I don't know where they're coming from. 83 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.600 But one day we were at the Douglas for a 84 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.160 tree stump where we stop and everybody climbs on I 85 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.800 take photos, and I could hear these kids going down 86 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.279 Corey Road, which I couldn't see Corey but it's not 87 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.839 too far away, and they were zooming down like they're 88 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.600 on bicycles. I'm like, man, they're really flying down on 89 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.839 their bikes. But I was listening for the bicycle sounds, 90 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.720 you know that you would hear that bikes make, and 91 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.920 I couldn't hear any bicycle sounds. So when I'm hiking 92 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.720 down Corey Road, I'm looking at the ground because I'm 93 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.959 looking for bicycle tire tracks. The whole way down there 94 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.519 should be some, and the whole way down there busines. 95 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.199 This girl finally asked me, She's like, what have you 96 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.040 been looking for? You keeps looking at the ground. I'm 97 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.839 looking for tire tracks for bicycles. And I said, didn't 98 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.720 you hear those kids and she was like, yeah, yeah, 99 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.680 I kind of heard them. I go, well, they were 100 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.439 really cooking it down the mountain there, like they had 101 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.519 to have been on mountain bikes, you know, like there's 102 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.279 no tire tread zoughe. She's like, yeah, yeah, they were 103 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.759 going fast, you know. And I guess the rest of 104 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.319 the group really they just sound like people see you 105 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.800 don't They're like background noise, you don't really pay attention. 106 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.519 But for me being there, I'm like, Okay, who are 107 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.480 these kids? Because are they how are they getting mountain 108 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.360 bikes in there? They must be coming in from the 109 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.079 illegal trail like Corey Road where it's only access for 110 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.240 the government vehicles, and they would have to lift their 111 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.920 mountain bikes over these giant gates because Corey Road goes 112 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.519 through people's private property and so they have cameras and everything. 113 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.279 And I'm thinking maybe they did that, like maybe they 114 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.800 got their bikes in this way, because how would they 115 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.600 get the bikes and they would have to like bring 116 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.920 them over in a boat. There's no boats. So I 117 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.079 kept encountering these these kids and girls. And so another 118 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.319 time they shocked me when we were in the berry patch. 119 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.240 It was close to me because these two German girls 120 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.240 were dying to go swimming. They had their bathing suits 121 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.600 on so they was warm, and this is when I 122 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.879 still didn't know it was Sasquatch, and so I remember 123 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.839 these girls going, can we go swimming? Now? We had 124 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.600 picked berries for about twenty minutes. I'm like, yeah, it's 125 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.480 just one hundred yards through the forest here, and it's there. 126 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.759 It's beautiful place to swim. It's really cold water, but 127 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.519 gorgeous place of swim. So they run ahead, and two 128 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.600 guys chased them, and then another guy's kind of trailing behind, 129 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.000 and then there's seven of us in single file walking 130 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.480 out of the berry patch, and just as we're walking 131 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.759 to my left, about eight feet to my left in 132 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.040 the bush, it erupts yelling like party calls, like guys 133 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.519 and girls woo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And then 134 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.279 they went into like whistling and complex animal sounds, and 135 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.199 then they went caut and everybody's shoulders jumped when it 136 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.759 was like an ambush of sound, and I was like, 137 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.399 holy crap. And then the guy that was in the 138 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.839 woods started doing out his nutty calls like he was 139 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.079 returning the call, like he was just doing all these 140 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.680 funny calls, and the people in the bush were really 141 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.240 amused by that, and they started laughing their butts off, 142 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.920 and it sounded like just a bunch of like a 143 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.639 couple of girls and guys teenagers in there. And I'm like, 144 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.519 who the heck are those people? And this German guy 145 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.480 in front of me, he's about fifty years old, He's like, 146 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.199 they sound like they're on magic mushrooms, you know, because 147 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.439 they did sound weird. And I'm like yeah, and I said, 148 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.480 and so that guy when he yelled out, they called back. 149 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.079 They laughed, and then they did a whole bunch more 150 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.959 calls to return what he what he had called, and 151 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.920 then they were laughing again. And I said to the 152 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.000 German guy, chief, any did anybody talk? Like, did anybody 153 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.319 talk to those people? Where did those people come from? 154 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.439 And I'm looking in the bush and I'm trying to 155 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.759 see clothing and I don't see anything. I'm like and 156 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.360 he it's like, well, I don't know. They must be high. 157 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.360 And I'm playing king yeah, And I wanted to talk 158 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.439 to them, but my group was already far into the thing, 159 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.920 and I thought, mm hmm, and maybe if they're on drugs, 160 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.279 maybe I'll just leave them alone, right, And so I said, 161 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.399 that was really cool sounds. And I said, see you guys, 162 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.560 and I said goodbye. To them. And then I walked 163 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.120 through the woods and everybody's swimming, and I said, hey, 164 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.439 did anybody talk to those people back there? And everybody's 165 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.720 like what people a go those people that made all 166 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.839 those weird noises and they're like, I thought you did that, 167 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.680 and I'm like, I didn't do that. It's just the 168 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.919 way I could make that noise. And so that was 169 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.120 another that was a shocker. It wasn't fearful, it wasn't terrifying. 170 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.879 It just like jolted us out of our shirts almost, 171 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.639 you know. It was so surprising. So they were just 172 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.279 doing another pranky thing. And I think they were sasquatches. 173 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.799 This was a confusing thing, like with the little people 174 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.320 and the sasquatches. It was really confusing as to what 175 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.799 was happening. But when it comes to being afraid, when 176 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.080 I go to Christie Lake, go to my Christie Lake encounters, 177 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.200 I was having weird encounters up there, and I think 178 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.679 I mentioned that I encountered a gorilla type of creature. 179 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.039 I was trying to get into this mutt lake and 180 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.120 as a kid, I've always all our cousins like this. 181 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.120 It's a quick sand lake. A train bridge goes over 182 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.879 and I've always been pulled to this area. Sometimes I 183 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.279 have a hard time getting in there. We can walk 184 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.320 on the train tracks and we could look over the 185 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.200 marsh from the mud Lake Bridge, and they had to 186 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.960 get engineers to Mountain Bridge because they discovered it with 187 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.759 like a quicksand lake. And so it was always intriguing 188 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:40.879 to me. And so trail through the bullrushes into this lake, 189 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.360 and I thought, I've got to bring a boat in here, 190 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.320 and I want to poke the ground and see how 191 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.320 sandy it is, you know. And so I took a 192 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.679 canoe up one time and I couldn't. I kept trying 193 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.240 to get through panels of the bull rushes, and I 194 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.120 kept getting dead ends. And like, I'm just going to 195 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.159 go along the channel along the shore about sixty yards 196 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.960 in and you know, it's a narrow channel, and I'll 197 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.919 park my newe and I'll hike up that hill and 198 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.879 look over to see if I can find a channel. 199 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.159 If not, I'm just gonna hike over there. And so 200 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.679 I I'm climbing the hell. I got about forty yards 201 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.080 up this hill and I'm just looking I gotta go higher, 202 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.159 and all of a sudden, I hear this guy's voice 203 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.879 like eh, and I'm thinking, oh, there's a dude up there, 204 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.519 and he's like ah ah, and he starts complaining. He's 205 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.159 like ah, and then he starts going rough and then 206 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.919 the bush starts shaking like crazy and he's and I'm like, 207 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.600 what the hell's wrong with this guy? And I'm staring. 208 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.559 I'm like, what's this guy doing? I went I was 209 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.279 a pretty athletic guy back then. I wasn't really afraid. 210 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.480 I think some people would have ran away. At that point. 211 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.519 I'm like, okay, this is this is a kook in 212 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.600 the in the wilderness, Like what's this? Then he went 213 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.600 more like a gorilla, and then it was full on 214 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:52.120 like gorilla. So I'm like, I'm so curious. I'm like, okay, 215 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.080 I gotta I changed my angle and I see this 216 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.879 the silhouette of this arm, and it's like a big 217 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.360 muscly arm going up to a big musky shoulder, and 218 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.960 then there's a bulk mask that the rest of the 219 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.840 shrub was too dense to see through. So I'm like, 220 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.480 this looks like a gorilla arm. I'm like, what the 221 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.000 heck is this thing? Right? And so all of a 222 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.720 sudden I realized I think it's going to burst out 223 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.639 of the bush and attack me. So I better. I 224 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.840 wasn't terrified by I don't want to get attacked by 225 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.200 an animal. So I spun around and I dislodged this 226 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.480 round rock like a small bowling ball, and it rolled 227 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.320 down with me. It banged into my ankle. I almost 228 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.240 fell down the fie fallen down the sill. It would 229 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.159 have broken my neck, and I almost fell and I stumbled, 230 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.399 and I grabbed the edges of my canoe and I 231 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.799 wanted to kick off down this channel. I'm still vulnerable, 232 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.600 and I'm thinking this thing might come at me, you know. 233 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.559 And as soon as I kick off, I instead of 234 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.559 going straight down the channel, my canu turned right and 235 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.759 slammed into the bul rushes, and my right hand slipped 236 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.519 off the canoe and there was a little metal metal 237 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.200 paddle guard there with a sliver of metal sticking up, 238 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.799 and it sliced through from my wrist all the way 239 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.559 to the inside of my elbow. And I still have 240 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.879 the scar near my elbow. It's like a line. So 241 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.519 this scar is related to a sawsquatch event. And so 242 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.159 I panicked and I grabbed my paddle and I paddled 243 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.240 so fast out of there because I thought this thing's 244 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.720 gonna come landing on me. I got out until up 245 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.919 the water and I turned around and I'm staring at 246 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.799 this bush is still shaking, but it's not grunting anymore, 247 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.600 and I'm staring at him like I'm I wanted to 248 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.320 go and explore this whole area. Now there's this thing, 249 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.679 Like what is this thing? It's like a gorilla? Like 250 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.240 I'm gonna have to ask my uncle if somebody's lost 251 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.480 the gorilla because I can't make any sense of this. 252 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.840 So I'm like, oh, man, yeah, I thought I still 253 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.159 want to go in there, but I don't think I'm 254 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.440 going with this thing lurking around. So I paddled back 255 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.679 down to my uncle's place, came in and I'd given 256 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.519 him some really yummy pipe tobacco that he wanted to change, 257 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.440 and he's lighting it up. He's like, I'm really loving this, 258 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.879 and I'm like, hey, yeah, okay, and I told him 259 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.679 what happened. I go there's a gorilla up at the 260 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.799 end of the lake, like did somebody lose a gorilla? 261 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.600 And he's puffing his pipe and he's laughing at me. 262 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.279 He's like, there's no gorillas around here. I'm like, but like, 263 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.559 I what else would it be? I mean there's train 264 00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.559 tracks further up. I mean, did it fall off a train? 265 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.799 Laughing at everything I'm suggesting, and what I'm suggesting is ridiculous, 266 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.440 But when you have these like these encounters, the brain 267 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.639 tries to fill in the blanks and make sense of it. 268 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.679 And it's just like the girls that saw the sloth thing. 269 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.519 They were like, could have sloth just migrate up to 270 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.759 British Columbia from Chile. I mean, that's the most ridiculous suggestion, 271 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.480 but it's a strange thing you're trying to make sense of, 272 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.080 you know, so you're like, oh, how did this happen? 273 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.000 You know, how could this creature get here? But so 274 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.679 I went down. I was like, Okay, I still want 275 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.240 to explore that, but I don't think I'm gonna take 276 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.320 the boat. So I decided the mountain bike. I studied 277 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.080 the map of the area and I saw, oh, Christi 278 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.240 Lake Road. It kind of continues through the forest like 279 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.240 old Christie Lake Road. So I thought, I can mountain 280 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.399 bike all through there. And my uncle said, yeah, there 281 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.240 used to be an old hunting club up there. There's 282 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.080 some trails like in the seventies early seventies, there was 283 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.759 a hunting club. I'm like, cool, I got all these 284 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:53.840 trails to go through, and I can get access to 285 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.159 that mud lake through behind it, from behind it, going 286 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.799 in by the woods. Now, I don't know if there's 287 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.360 some sort of energy vortex there. I mean, sasquats tend 288 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.080 to be known to be hanging out in areas where 289 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.159 there's energy vortex. Is either to protect the area from 290 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.200 things coming through, or just maybe they access it, you know, 291 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.399 it's a place that they can access to traverse to 292 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.200 other places. I don't know, but I always felt something 293 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.279 in this area. And so I mountain biked up into 294 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.600 this area. And my uncle was a great historian for 295 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.399 our family. He knew all the heritage of how we 296 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.600 settled there after the War of eighteen twelve, and and 297 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.080 so I went through the forest and I found these 298 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.399 there's these little lakes around the main lake. And so 299 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.759 I looked through the woods. I'm like, there's a lake 300 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.399 and a house. So I thought I got to go 301 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.440 explore that. And it was an abandoned farmhouse that looked 302 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.679 very much like my grandfather's. I was at the other end, 303 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.759 at the head of the lake. I thought, I wonder 304 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.159 if this is my one of my ancestors' houses, you know. 305 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.639 I was just thinking that and looking at surveying the lake, 306 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.360 and the lake was long and sort of narrow, and 307 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.360 I was pretty much at the end, at the one 308 00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.200 end of it. And so all of a sudden, I 309 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.360 see this world wind, lazy whirlwind moving along the shore 310 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.200 on the other side, and I'm just watching it, and 311 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.320 I'm like, oh, it's you know, those little dirt devils, 312 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.120 like kind of like a whirlwind, but this one's quite lazy, 313 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.159 and it's going around the shore. And then it goes 314 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.360 around the lake and it starts to come towards me, 315 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.799 and I'm like, what a strange wind, you know, like 316 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.559 this is pretty strange. And it went through some sumacx 317 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.279 it went behind me and went behind me. My ear 318 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.120 pressure changed, like my ears kind of like went into 319 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.960 a vacuum for a second. And I felt this chill 320 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.639 as it went behind me. And then it stopped five 321 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.759 feet away from me under this tree, and the lower 322 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.200 branches of this tree were vibrating and blowing to this 323 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.639 to it's there, and I'm thinking, what the heck, And 324 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.440 then a voice came out of it woo like oh. 325 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.480 I was like, I bolted so fast. I went had 326 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.399 to run through the forest grab my mountain bike, and 327 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.840 I was I was pretty fast mountain biker, clicking through 328 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.360 the gears like and this thing. I could hear its 329 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.080 footfalls approaching, like catching up to me. I'm like, there's 330 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.679 no way this thinking I'm on high gear. I'm done, 331 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.360 like I can't wipe out, I'll kill myself. And I'm 332 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.559 booging it through these trails to get back through the road. 333 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.639 I'm just dodging out of there, and the footfalls got 334 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.519 right on my back wheel and I'm like, I thought, 335 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.240 it's gonna whatever it is, it's gonna yank me off 336 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.799 my bike. I turn around and there's nothing there, and 337 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.200 so I slam on my brakes and I'm like, what 338 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.320 the heck. I'm looking around. I'm like, now it's quiet. 339 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.879 I'm like, where did it go? And I'm like hey, 340 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.200 And I started yelling out to it, where are you? 341 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.440 Where'd you go? And I'm looking behind these bushes. I 342 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.799 start looking for it, like what the hell, where are you? Hey? 343 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.519 Where are you? When I start talking to it, and 344 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.919 then it started to move along across this clearing and 345 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.279 I'm like, I see you. I see you. And it 346 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.960 went into the trees and it sat there in the 347 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.120 trees and I could see a branch vibrating because it 348 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.679 was under it. I'm like, I know you're there, Like, 349 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:52.799 can you come out? I'm like, is this a leprechaun? 350 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.759 I this is my internal dialogue. I'm like this, is 351 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:58.840 this a leprechaun? Or what is this? You know, like 352 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.320 like I'm thinking spirit of the forest, like leprecauns are 353 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.759 like that, but why like leprecauns are in Ireland. But 354 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.200 you know, I'm thinking, like trying to make sense of 355 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.480 this invisible thing. So I was actually talking to it, 356 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.440 and I remember thinking if anybody came and saw me, 357 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.680 now look insane. And so then it's like a light 358 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.359 s which it felt like it was gone. It's like 359 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.599 I didn't feel anymore. It's like, Okay, I think it's gone. 360 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.799 So I got on my bike and as soon as 361 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.920 I started riding, it was in pursuit of me again. 362 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.720 I hear like I hear it's footfalls just dart at me, 363 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.720 and I'm like, I start running. I start peddling it. 364 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.839 But I'm laughing because I'm like this isn't making any sense, 365 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.279 And as I'm laughing, all of a sudden, I think 366 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.839 I connected with it because I could feel it, and 367 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.839 I could feel like it was having fun, like it 368 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.559 was having fun with me, not maliciously, but just camaraderie, 369 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.759 Like it felt like it was having a good time. 370 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.640 And I was laughing. I'm like, I'm laughing because I 371 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.759 can't make any sense of this. So I I drive down. 372 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.160 Christy Lake wrote a bit thinking, how am I going 373 00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.599 to like I always tell my uncle about my adventures 374 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.240 that I'm like, I can tell him. I'm going to 375 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:02.839 ask him about that house, but I don't think I 376 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.759 can mention this stuff to him. He's going to think 377 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.279 I'm crazy. So then I stopped and I'm like, wait, 378 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.759 I'm not satisfied. I got to see what that is. 379 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.720 I'm going back. So I went back. I went all 380 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.519 the way to the house, and I'm staring at this house, 381 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:19.279 and then I'm thinking it came from the house maybe, 382 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.359 So I'm like, hey, I don't know what you are, 383 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.039 but I'm not afraid. You know, I'm protected by the creator. 384 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.039 I had a couple of readings by psychics a long 385 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.039 time who both of them said I'm protected like by 386 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.359 a golden energy, and so they said nothing bad can 387 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.880 happen to you and they but those two psychics also 388 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.440 predicted my sasquatch encounters later on, and so that's a 389 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.440 cool story because this I went over to my friend's house. 390 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.240 His uncle is this Irish psychic and one of the 391 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.799 strongest psychics in Ireland, so it was sort of a 392 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.960 spontaneous Hey, you want to get a reading. I don't 393 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.759 go looking for psychic reading. So I'm like, yeah, I 394 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.480 was about twenty one years old, and he said, you're 395 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.440 going to be in the mountains working for a guy 396 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.160 ning gym, doing canoeing and hiking. You're going to be 397 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.200 driving a boat. You're going to be a captain of 398 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.000 a boat that looks like a bus. And he's like, 399 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.519 does that make any sense. I'm like no, but my 400 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.920 cousin's name is Jim. But my cousin at that time 401 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.079 was working for Kantiki tourist traveling all over the world. 402 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.720 He didn't live in Vancouver yet, so I had a 403 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.680 buddy named Jim that I was living with, and I'm like, 404 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.319 maybe me and him are going to move out west 405 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.960 and start up a company out there. I don't know, 406 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.880 but he detailed. He said, wow, I've never seen anybody 407 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.759 when you're doing that job. You're going to meet Sasquatch, 408 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.119 You're going to meet bigfoots. And I'm like what. He's like, 409 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.119 I have never had a reading where I've read somebody, 410 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.400 and I see them meeting Sasquatch, and he goes, wow, 411 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.319 in fact, I think I can connect with them now. 412 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.200 And so he was like I was watching the psychic 413 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.759 having his own epiphany about it, and I'm like, this 414 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:50.440 is weird. So then a couple of years later, I'm 415 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.039 dating a girl whose mother is friends with a very 416 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.839 strong psychic, and so there was a street festival in 417 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.759 the New Age bookstore I used to go to. They 418 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.039 were contributing to the festival by having free psychic readings. 419 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.720 So I ran into my girlfriend's mom. She's like, get 420 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.039 a reading. I'm like, oh, so, it's just spontaneous and 421 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.559 it's free, and so she said, I'm going to do 422 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.640 you last. So she does a reading of me and 423 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200 she's dead on accurate about it, very very impressive psychic. 424 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.160 And then she gets to this BC job. Like the 425 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.759 other guy, She's like, you're going to be working out 426 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.880 in BC and you're going to have a great time 427 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.359 and everything, and then she finished the reading. But then 428 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.440 as we were walking away, she grabbed my arm. She goes, 429 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.559 oh my god, you are going to be meeting sasquatches. 430 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.240 She goes, oh my god, this just came in. You 431 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.240 are Oh my god, you're going to be She goes, 432 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.279 I have never had a reading where I see people 433 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.480 meeting sasquatches. And she's like, oh my god, it's like 434 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.640 I can almost feel them. And so I'm like, whoa, 435 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.119 this is cool like the other psychic And she said, 436 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.519 you're not going to remember everything I've told you until 437 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.839 it starts happening. She goes, like, none of the stuff 438 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.799 I told you about will even start happening for about 439 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.480 a year and a half, like all the other stuff 440 00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.400 she told me that would happen that she was totally 441 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.880 right about. And so she said, oh. She said after 442 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:06.440 all of that, she says, you're going to have those 443 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.240 encounters and then you're not going to think about it 444 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.039 for twenty years. And I said, that doesn't make any sense. 445 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.000 You have sasquatch encounters. How can you possibly forget about that? 446 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.000 That doesn't make any sense. And she goes, I know 447 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.480 it doesn't make sense, but that's what I see, and 448 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.000 she was right. I mean, but I think it's because 449 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.160 after it happened, trying to tell people after I shut 450 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.559 down because I realized trying to tell people about this 451 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.839 doesn't work so well. People get uncomfortable. They just they 452 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.799 might judge me as a kook, and so I shut down. 453 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.960 I think I just buried it in a storage locker 454 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:41.160 in my mind. And at around twenty eleven we had 455 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.039 a family reunion and now I just have to mention. 456 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.640 After the tour season in BC, it winds down. So 457 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.799 in October I did my last houseboat trip and there 458 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.720 is a family reunion at Christie Lake that we were 459 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:56.480 going to. Jim was going to fly out, my cousin 460 00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.680 was going to fly out. I'm driving my RX seven 461 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.359 back and so so I left that like October eighth 462 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:05.880 or ninth for the reunion that was on the fifteenth 463 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.079 at Christy Lake at the boy Scout Camp. The Boy 464 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.519 Scout Camp, that land used to be owned by my 465 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.200 great grandfather and he sold it to them in nineteen 466 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.519 thirty seven for two thousand dollars because he knew it 467 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.799 will The Boy Scouts was a new thing then, and 468 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.079 he knew this camp will always be a wilderness area, 469 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.119 always no development, no cottages. He wanted to keep this 470 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.960 area wild and so he sold it to them because 471 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.000 it would preserve it. And so this boy Scout leader 472 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.799 or a boy Scout had an encounter there and he 473 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.240 submitted on one of the sites. So when he was 474 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.079 like nineteen eighty two, I think he was a kid, 475 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.799 they do this camp out where I did this too 476 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.279 when I was a scout. You go on a tent 477 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.480 for the night and they give you one match. It's 478 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:50.480 like it's his challenge just to stay out in the 479 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:52.559 tent by yourself all night. And so there was this 480 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.599 big field I think, where all the kids were doing it, 481 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.559 and so something buzzed all their tents and this guy said, 482 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.839 this weird creature is outside my tent making all kinds 483 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.039 of weird noises. And at breakfast, all the other kids 484 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.799 thought I did it because I'm a bit of a prankster, 485 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.279 but he said, I never said anything because I just 486 00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:11.440 didn't know what to make of this creature. And so 487 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.920 zoom ahead to when he's like nineteen eighty eight, he's 488 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.759 a guide and the camp's closing down, so all the 489 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.000 kids have gone home and the counselors have the camp 490 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.839 for a week like a vacation. And so he was 491 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:26.799 like eleven thirty at night. He was reading and he 492 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:28.920 heard somebody walking around, so he got up to look, 493 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.559 and it was a ten foot tall sasquatch walking between 494 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.400 the cabins. And he knew that because it matched the 495 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.640 doorframe of one of the cabins that's ten feet high. 496 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:39.480 And it walked through the empty field and into the woods. 497 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.240 And you can find his report online, but I think 498 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.079 he got a flashlight and showing it at its eyes. 499 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.960 It had yellow eyes and made some kooky noises, and 500 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.759 so then he went inside. And then another night he 501 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.200 was bringing a lady friend in a boat and he 502 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.359 wanted to go to the other side of the lake 503 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.400 where I had my gorilla encounter, and he was looking 504 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.240 for some privacy, was his girlfriend, and he heard all 505 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.039 these the similar noises from this creature showing his light 506 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.279 and saw these yellow eyes, and his girlfriend was like, 507 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.960 what is that and he's like, he didn't know what 508 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:11.920 to say, so he just said, I think it's a coyote. 509 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.240 We'll go somewhere else, and so he just left it 510 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.400 at that but that was around the same time I 511 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:20.680 was bushwhacking it around there having my encounters. And so 512 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.319 because I went every year to visit my uncle, I 513 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.519 went multiple times. I loved going out there, even in 514 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:33.319 the winter. And so basically I'm sorry, I'm just getting 515 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:40.920 of thought here. Yeah. So anyway, so at the end 516 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.880 of my tour season, I'm driving across Canada to go 517 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.160 to this family reunion and I get there. It's like 518 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.359 a quarter to three in the morning. I'm falling asleep 519 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.880 at the wheel for the last two miles and I 520 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.119 actually drove off the road a bit and came back 521 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.160 and I woke up about one hundred yards from the 522 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.799 camp entrance and were we rented out the Little Kids 523 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:01.599 ca which was just down the road from the boy 524 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:06.519 Scout camp. And so I thought, I woke up and 525 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.400 I'm sleeping in the road. I'm like, oh, crad. I 526 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.640 slept in the road and my RC seven, I had 527 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.119 a racing ARC seven. It was super loud, and I 528 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.079 pulled into the camp and it was a downhill. I thought, 529 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:17.160 I better turn my car up. I'm gonna wake everybody up. 530 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.079 So I just coasted down in around a cabin and 531 00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.279 all my cousins and my parents' cars are all there 532 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.119 in the grass under some trees. So I just parked 533 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.279 and I had to go to the washroom. I got 534 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:28.799 out and I didn't get a flashland. It was raining, 535 00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.920 and I turned around. I couldn't find it was so dark. 536 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.240 I'm like, where's my car? And so I'm reaching out 537 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.240 and I feel the trunk. So that's how dark it was. 538 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.079 And I feel the door and I get in. I'm 539 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:39.319 cold and I'm tired, and so I got in my 540 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.720 car and I had blankets because I had slept in 541 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.839 my car somewhere in Saskatchewan, you know, just I didn't 542 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.839 stay in too many hotels on the drive across, and 543 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.720 so I fall asleep right away. And then I'm woken 544 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.519 up to a jolt, as if my car was picked 545 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.319 up and dropped, or at least the front of it 546 00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.960 was picked up and dropped, and it jolted me away. 547 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.720 I'm like, what the hell? And it's pitch black, it's raining, 548 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.359 and I know something's moving outside of my car, and 549 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.599 I didn't like it was I was free. I'm like, 550 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.680 I'm not. I can't start my car to heat up, 551 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.160 and I'm not opening my door and it's raining, and 552 00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.000 so I turned on my headlights just to illuminate the area, 553 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:18.599 and I saw something. It was leaving behind my car, 554 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.559 and it left and I don't know what it was, 555 00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.400 and I thought maybe it was a cousin, like walking 556 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:25.279 from one cabin to the other. Didn't realize it had 557 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.480 come in. I had no engine running and maybe walked 558 00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:30.519 into my car, or maybe a deer ran into my car. 559 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:32.400 I couldn't figure out. I was tired, went right back 560 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.799 to sleep. Then my cousin Jim, who've gone on an 561 00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.160 airplane and flew from Richmond to Ontario. He woke me 562 00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:41.920 up at about seven fifteen and he's like, hey, I'm 563 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.119 on breakfast, dudey yeah, I'm going to go start breakfast 564 00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.160 in the main hall and you come and get a 565 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.279 coffee and there's your cabin and he's like, I saw 566 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.440 you from the airplane on the highway. I'm like, what's 567 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:54.799 He was just joking, but this is how much I remember. 568 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.000 And so he left and I fell back to sleep 569 00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.400 for about fifteen minutes and I woke up and I'm like, 570 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.200 I got a stre I've been sitting in this car 571 00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:04.200 for like twenty two hours and stretching, and my cousins 572 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.440 come around the corner and a couple more cousins. I'm like, hey, 573 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.440 I haven't seen them in a while, and they come. 574 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:11.799 They're looking at my car is completely dirty, and I'm like, 575 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.920 it's my souvenir dust from Canada, you know, driving across Canada. 576 00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.480 And so he gets in front of my car. My 577 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.119 car door is open, I'm stretching, and he's like one 578 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.720 cousin Kevin, He's like, what the heck is that? And 579 00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:28.720 it's this enormous, muddy, greasy handprint on the hood of 580 00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:31.759 my car. I mean it's huge, and I'm like, what 581 00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:33.799 the hell. And the first thing he says is that 582 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.240 looks like a sasquatch hand man. That's like, do we 583 00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.920 got Bigfoot around here? And she's kind of joking, and 584 00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:41.599 his brother's like, it looks like something from Jurassic Park. 585 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:44.319 I mean, I think Jurassic Park came out in around 586 00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.759 two thousand or something, so you know, it's in people's heads. 587 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.920 And he's like, it looks like something from Jurassic Park. 588 00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.720 And then this other buddy, I go, you know, something 589 00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:55.559 jolted my car and then I woke me up and 590 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.519 it's like it was probably bigfoot man. Look at that, 591 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.559 and the water was bubbling off of it like greasy, 592 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.759 like it had basoline in the mud. And he's like, okay, 593 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:05.960 how the waters were telling off? And then they had 594 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.480 had no hot water in their cabin, they had cold showers. 595 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:11.240 And then my other cousin said, well, maybe it's maybe 596 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.000 it's a guy with pipe fitting gloves working on some muddy, 597 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.319 greasy pipes. And he was kind of joking. I'm like, 598 00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.039 did somebody call a plumber? And he just laughed. He goes, no, 599 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.359 I'm just I'm just kidding. And then the other cousin goes, 600 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.119 they don't make pipe fitting gloves that size, like that 601 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.920 hand is huge, and and I'm like, what the heck? 602 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.720 Like I'm stunned. I'm like, well, like who, I don't know, 603 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.359 like what happened here? I'm just all confused. And they're like, well, 604 00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:37.400 we're freezing, you get cold showers, we're getting into the 605 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:39.359 you gotta go get a coffee. And so they left. 606 00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.400 So I walked down to the lake and I'm confused. 607 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.759 I'm like, oh my god, like and I'm thinking, did 608 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.079 a sasquatch follow me from BC? And this is what 609 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:50.480 I'm thinking. So I'm walking along the shore and I 610 00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.920 go past the cabins to a place where the forest 611 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.440 comes right up to the water, and I felt that 612 00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.000 feeling of eyes on me that I'm so used to 613 00:28:58.079 --> 00:28:59.960 from Widge and Creek and from I'm just I got 614 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.119 so used to that magnetic feeling of sensing them that 615 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.920 I said one was in the wood. I knew one 616 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.960 was in there, and I'm like, and so I'm thinking 617 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.240 to it, did you follow me from BC? And I'm 618 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:13.880 expecting a tree knock. I'm expecting something, and then it 619 00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.240 was like a light switch woof went off. Didn't feel 620 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.839 it anymore, and I sat there for a minute and 621 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.880 I think, okay, I think it's gone. And this us 622 00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:23.000 I used to the light switch thing where all of 623 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:24.799 a sudden they're just gone. So I'm like, okay, I 624 00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:30.440 think it's gone. And I'm dazed. I'm dizzy. I'm like like, okay, 625 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.440 I'm thinking, how could could one follow me from BC? 626 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:35.759 Like I was very confused on this matter because I'd 627 00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.279 never heard of sasquatch on this lake at this point. 628 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.880 So I went in and I went into breakfast, started 629 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.160 seeing all my cousins. They're like what time did you 630 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.519 get here? And I asked my cousin, did you put 631 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.720 a money handprint on my car? Because he wouldn't do that. 632 00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:51.759 He knew it was a nice car. He wouldn't want 633 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.079 to mess up my paint. So he's like, no, I 634 00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:56.559 didn't do that, and I'm like, okay. So I told 635 00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.119 my cousin and be like, hey, you guys, go look 636 00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.960 at my car. I think I have a sasquatch here. 637 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.279 I turned out my car. But I was trying to 638 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.000 tell some of the relatives. They're like, how did you 639 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.440 like doing that job? And did you see bears? And 640 00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.559 I'm like yeah, I said, but I had a lot 641 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.200 of sasquatch encounters. And some of my cousins were like 642 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.079 oh wow, and some of them shifted uncomfortably. So I thought, hmm, 643 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.160 maybe I won't say too much. Like it's like, it's 644 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.000 a hard strategy to tell people about this. So some 645 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:24.119 people resonated with it. I told them a bit more 646 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.319 about it. But when I got back into my parents' 647 00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.079 house in Ontario, and I thought, I'll just pick up 648 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:31.559 a job because I'm going to go back to DC 649 00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.400 for the next season. So I thought I'll just pick 650 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:35.640 up something to work at, and I got a job 651 00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.079 and I was working with a Portuguese guy and we 652 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:40.839 would go out on a route and do work and 653 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.039 we'd listen to the radio and a Sasquatch story came on. 654 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:46.839 They were talking about Sasquatch and he's like, I love 655 00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.119 everything about Sasquatch. I'm like, well, I got like seven 656 00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.599 months encounters with them. So this guy wanted to gobble 657 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.039 up every word like a sponge, and it was very therapeutic. 658 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.440 And it's like I was always planning to journal all 659 00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.640 of my encounters, but I just didn't get around to it. 660 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.240 But I was able, through a course of weeks tell 661 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:05.599 this guy about all my encounters and he was freaking 662 00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.200 out and he would go to place new other places 663 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:10.000 where we had to go work, and he would touch 664 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.759 the stage friends with Sasquatch, and I'd be like, don't 665 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.960 tell people that it's a little uncomfortable, you know, don't. 666 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.200 I don't know, like not everybody resonates with it right away, 667 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:25.519 but he was just enthusiastic. So when I didn't really 668 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.720 think about Sasquatch after that until we went to a 669 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:30.640 family reunion again in twenty eleven at Christie lake, only 670 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.839 this time we rented the cabins that have been there 671 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.599 since my ancestors settled that. It was a Scottish family 672 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.039 that settled on the other side of the river, and 673 00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:40.640 we were the Irish family that settled, and so they 674 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:42.799 rent out cabins. They've been renting out cabins to a 675 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.000 lot of Americans that come up and fish. We always 676 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.839 saw Americans when we were kids growing up, coming out 677 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.400 and fishing from Pennsylvania, from Ohio, all over the place. 678 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:55.000 And so these fishermen from we were having a barbecue 679 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.279 in the landowner I heard him say the word sasquatch. 680 00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:58.920 And he's a farmer, He's not the type of guy 681 00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:00.839 that would be in the sasquatch, and so I went, hey, 682 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.319 you know, did you just say sasquatch? And he's like, 683 00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:07.039 oh yeah. I go what are you talking about? He goes, well, 684 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.839 you know, apparently he's all awkward, and he's like, we 685 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:12.519 you know, these fishermen from Syracuse have been coming up 686 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:14.839 here for about thirty years, you know, And I think 687 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.359 I knew the guys and or I'd seen them before. 688 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:19.519 And he goes, well, you know, the one guy he 689 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:21.440 was he has to hike because he had open heart 690 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.960 surgery and he has to go hiking every morning. So 691 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.799 at early in the morning, he saw one by the 692 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:29.759 back porch of our house and reaching for the barbecue, 693 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:31.440 and he goes, actually, you should talk to my son 694 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:33.039 about it. He knows more about it. So I went 695 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.000 and I talked to his son about it, and so 696 00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.839 his son like told me the whole story about their 697 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.240 counter and they've submitted their report on a website or 698 00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:45.440 a few websites somewhere. And so the one guy hiking, 699 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.720 he had seen it reaching for the barbecue and the 700 00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:50.559 thigh leg was equal with the railing. But it was 701 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:52.440 dark and he had a little pencil flashlight. So when 702 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.400 he showed it over, the being turned and walked into 703 00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.319 the pasture behind that goes towards all the rental cabins 704 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:01.039 on the other bay. And so he thought, this guy's 705 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.359 up to no good, and so he followed him and 706 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.759 he lost and the guy went into the woods. So 707 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.720 then he saw him later on the road and it 708 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:09.599 was a sasquash and it looked at him and then 709 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.119 turned into the woods and he just stood there like WHOA. 710 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.720 And that was I think that was the other day 711 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.240 because he went back to that railing later and realized 712 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.000 the railing comes up to his chest and he thought, 713 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.359 oh my god, that thing's huge because it came up 714 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:29.359 to its spy. And so they were doing a fishing derby. 715 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.759 So they'd finished their fishing derby and they went up 716 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.119 to the Tay River upstream from the lake. And I've 717 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.599 had I having a counter there too. But they were 718 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.839 drifting lazily back into the lake, just having a good time, 719 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.279 and some canos were paddling up to them, and they 720 00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.640 waved through the canoes, and suddenly behind the canoes in 721 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.279 the marsh, they saw a saucewatch stand up and walk 722 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.720 into the bulrushes, like into the marsh that's dividing Mud 723 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.720 Lake the Quicksand Lake from Christie Lake. And they couldn't believe, 724 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.400 like nobody could walk in there, and they saw them, 725 00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:06.160 and so they set up trail cams and the sun 726 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.760 told me, he goes, these aren't these guys aren't in 727 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.840 great shape. And they've been coming up in January to 728 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.400 check the batteries and photos. And because I said, do 729 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.679 you believe them? And he goes, well, they're not the 730 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.559 type of characters that would make it up. They've been 731 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.119 coming up here for thirty years. They're pretty sober guys, 732 00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.400 and he goes, but the fact that they're coming up 733 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.599 in January, it's not an easy place to get into 734 00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:27.719 even in the summer. And they're trudging in and checking 735 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.239 the batteries. He goes, I'm pretty sure they're determined. So 736 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.039 he goes, I kind of do believe him. I go, 737 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.760 it brought up all of my memories from BC, and 738 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.039 I'm like, you know, I work Jim, he and my 739 00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:39.840 cousin Jim. I go, I worked with Jim. I had 740 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:41.519 tons of encounters, and I go, you know what, if 741 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.559 they're on your property, I can give you some tips 742 00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.599 and I can. And he's like, oh, I don't. I don't. Yeah, 743 00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:48.400 I'm not going to be involved in that. So he 744 00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.320 just didn't want to be involved in that. I'm like, 745 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:56.199 they're on their property. So I just I started looking 746 00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:58.679 into the it again, and I started telling my sister. 747 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.079 You know, one yelled my name. She's like, how come 748 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:03.000 you're just telling us now? I said, I don't know. 749 00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:05.599 It just went dormant in my mind. I just packed 750 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:07.840 it away. I don't think it's an uncomfortable thing to 751 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.239 discuss so it just became too uncomfortable. I just buried it. 752 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.440 And so then I kind of that's ten years after 753 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.360 my encounters. But then I buried it again. I just 754 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.159 shut down. Life got busy, and I guess when Todd Standing, 755 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.920 you know Todd Standing, the guy that released the images, 756 00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:26.039 the video images of their faces really up close. I 757 00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.519 don't know if you've seen Todd Standing. He's in Alberta 758 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:33.079 by Radium and he's very cocky and like I take 759 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.800 people out to see saft squats and he took Less 760 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.599 Droud survivorman who had a show. I think you might 761 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:44.079 be familiar with survivorman Less drouds. Are you familiar with him? Again? 762 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:48.320 Yeah, I'm sure the whole big community knows about Todd 763 00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.119 Standing and Lost Stroud for sure. 764 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.960 Yeah. So when I saw those images, it sparked this 765 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.559 rekindling and then I went full on and started really 766 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.119 recalling all my memories, started to write them down, and 767 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.320 I mean with Todd's Standing, I like, okay, when I 768 00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:10.000 saw his video, because of my encounters, I'm like, my 769 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:12.320 saw squash wouldn't fumble at the hill like that. They 770 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:16.199 would just teleport, you know, so and you can't trick them. 771 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.480 I know you can't trick them. So either they're purposely 772 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.119 allowing Todd to film them, or Todd is faking it. 773 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:26.360 I don't know. I don't like calling out people's being 774 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.199 faked because I had my encounters and if people start saying, oh, 775 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.519 you're lying, it would be horrible. So if he really does, 776 00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:34.840 I mean, he's in good country for them, and he's 777 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.519 out there aggressively looking at I mean I never was. 778 00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:40.639 I was never looking for them. I just accidentally ran 779 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:44.039 into them. But he's out aggressively trying to get them, 780 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.280 and so I don't I don't know. I can't figure 781 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.079 that guy out if if he did, because when I 782 00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:50.960 saw that one fumbling up the hill, I thought, Okay, 783 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.400 maybe it's doing it on purpose, or maybe it doesn't 784 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:56.119 have some the skills that the ones I encountered have, 785 00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:59.519 because they might have different skills, like people have different 786 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.000 skills with math. You know, some are good at maths, 787 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.000 some aren't. Some are good at teleporting, some aren't. I 788 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.719 don't know, but I just when I saw some of 789 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.800 the video, I thought, no, Like I know sasquats and 790 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:12.679 I know they wouldn't do that unless they're purposely doing 791 00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.880 it to get their images out there. So I'm on 792 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.559 the fence. I don't want to call the guy out 793 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.639 as being fake because if he is having encounters, that 794 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.039 would be a you know, a travesty against him. But 795 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.360 if he's is fake, then well, I guess he'll he'll 796 00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:31.280 eventually get like something coming back for boasting about all 797 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.440 of the fakery he's done. But I don't I'm on 798 00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:36.360 the fence. I don't know what to make of him. 799 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:41.320 So yeah, I mean, it's it's a little confusing. When 800 00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:44.599 I watch that, I'm thinking, well, I try to feel 801 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:46.480 the spirit of the animals and I'm looking and I'm like, 802 00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:49.400 I don't know, I'm I'm not sure. So I'm not 803 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.760 going to say anything about that. But that's what triggered 804 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.880 me to start exploring all of my events again. And so, 805 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:01.599 you know the things Christy Lake, when I had encounters 806 00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.400 up there. I paddled up the creek one day and everything. 807 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.039 I was listening to all the nature sounds a cadas, 808 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:12.079 the birds, the frogs, and I just melt into the 809 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.360 nature sounds. I just love it, and I'm just relaxing 810 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.679 and I'm the river is not too strong, so I'm 811 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:18.360 just kind of floating, and I get to these old 812 00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:21.880 cabins that had been flooded out, the roosts clapping, collapsing, 813 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.159 and so I'm there and all of a sudden, like 814 00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.079 a blanket of silence goes over the whole area. Every bug, 815 00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.639 everything goes quiet. And I'm like, it's like feeling that 816 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.400 creepiness and like, Okay, something's going on. And I feel 817 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:38.119 all of these people over there in the in this 818 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.639 corridor of woods that have been cut out maybe for 819 00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.840 a road, and I can feel them, and then I 820 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.960 can I can feel them, and they were moving close 821 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.320 to the water and I'm looking right at them, but 822 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.559 they're invisible, like I can feel it. It's hard to explain, 823 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:58.280 but anyway, So because of my missing time event at 824 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:01.599 this racetrack and most where, I missed the whole day 825 00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:05.119 of races. I was displaced by ten miles. I started 826 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.960 to investigate missing time and alien abduction. And then I 827 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:12.599 started reading about channel material from extraterrestrials. I was really 828 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:14.119 into that because I was trying to make sense of 829 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.199 what happened that day. I missed the whole day of 830 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:19.119 racing and got transported ten miles away, and don't have 831 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:23.039 any memory of it, and so you know the channel 832 00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:27.880 material the Prism of Lira or extraterrestrial race. They're talking 833 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.480 about how they brought Sasquatch to the planet, and I thought, wow, 834 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.239 this is a really cool story, and so I knew, 835 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:36.840 like I kind of felt like, okay, they do have 836 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.880 these abilities that when I was experiencing these people on 837 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.360 the water, I was looking in the sky for shifts 838 00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.360 because I thought, I think they're extraterrestrials because sometimes you 839 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.599 can align with the consciousness of them if you're reading 840 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:49.800 their material. This is what was going through my mind. 841 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:52.800 And they were right at the shore. So I started 842 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.440 talking to them. I'm like, hey, hey, I know you're there, 843 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:59.480 like can you show yourself? And they're there, and then 844 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:03.159 the little I started plopping around my canoe and I 845 00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:05.679 sat there for fifteen minutes trying to coax them to 846 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.199 show themselves, like can't you guys show yourself to me? 847 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.199 Like I know you're there, I can feel you nothing. 848 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.039 So I'm like, okay, you know, what the hell with you, 849 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:15.840 I'm gonna paddle up the river and I'll just go 850 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:17.519 up there. I'll come back up you see if you're 851 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.159 still there. I always sound was crazy, but I just 852 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.119 I got bored. I'm like, Okay, if you guys are 853 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:24.440 gonna do this, I'm leaving. And so then I paddled 854 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:26.840 up the lake, up the river and I went pretty far, 855 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:28.440 and then I came back and I kind of felt 856 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.599 them a bit, and then I got back to the 857 00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:32.679 same spot and I didn't feel them there anymore. But 858 00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:35.800 on the other side, I felt something and then something 859 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.719 started moving and it's where the bull rushes meet the land, 860 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.360 and it was so big. It was the sound of 861 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:44.039 a moose. I'm like, it's got to be a moose. 862 00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:46.400 You know this is I'm holy crap, there's a moose. 863 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:48.239 I get away because I don't want a moose charge 864 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.679 of me down. All of a sudden, big rocks started 865 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:54.239 plopping around my canoe in the water, PLoP PLoP, PLoP, 866 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.119 and I thought, he's one of those lands in my canoe. 867 00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:58.039 It's going to damage it. So I paddled away a 868 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.400 bit and I'm looking. I saw a bit of and 869 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:02.559 I thought, yep, I think it's a moose, which is 870 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:04.639 very rare for this area. I'm like, wow, I can't 871 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:06.480 wait till I tell my uncle there's a moose down here, 872 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.239 and so you know, I just I don't know why. 873 00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:11.760 My brain flipped too, like I felt this weird thing 874 00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:14.480 and now this big thing's moving in the bulrushes. I'm 875 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:18.320 my mindset, it's a moose, right, so, but there's not 876 00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:21.119 really any moose. I don't think people see mooses in 877 00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:25.199 this area too much. So I mean the invisibility, the 878 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:27.639 sense of picking them up. I was feeling that all 879 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.800 the time. I could feel them. And so one time 880 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.000 I was in my rowboat and I went down to 881 00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:35.760 the end of the lake and I'm suntanning. I went 882 00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:37.480 for a swim. I anchored the boat at the mouth 883 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:41.000 of the river and I'm just suntann just enjoying the sun. 884 00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:44.119 And before I could even think, I jumped up and 885 00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.039 turned and stared at a bush on the shore. It 886 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:49.000 wasn't too close to the shore. It was halfway up 887 00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:51.239 this steep hill and this bush. I looked at it 888 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.159 and it starts shaking, and I have this internal dialogue like, 889 00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:56.800 what the hell am I doing? Why did I just 890 00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:58.599 do this? Why did I jump up? And it was 891 00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:02.519 like a survival instinct, and I felt this intrusive feeling, 892 00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:05.360 and I guess it was whatever it was probing me, 893 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:07.840 it was it was probably probing my thoughts. And that 894 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:11.679 feels like an invasion. It feels like I felt in danger. 895 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.440 And I thought, why would I feel in danger. I'm 896 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.760 in the middle lake. I I'm far from it unless 897 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:18.119 it's a guy with a rifle and a scope. And 898 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:20.400 so I thought that. I thought, geez, you know, and 899 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:22.840 I thought, no, that's ridiculous. I said, what the hell, 900 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:24.840 I'm going to paddle over there and see what's going on. 901 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:27.440 And so I roll over and I'm looking up the 902 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:29.880 steep hill at this bush and I could see something 903 00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:32.559 behind it, but I couldn't see too well. And all 904 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.480 of a sudden, this it took off, and it sounded 905 00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:38.119 like something big taken off. And I'm looking. I'm like, hey, 906 00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:40.079 where'd it go? Like why didn't I see it? So 907 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.400 I pushed off from the shore to get a better angle, 908 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:44.480 couldn't see it. And I'm like, I guess I just 909 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.679 didn't see it, but I should have. And I guess 910 00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:49.199 I didn't think at the time it was invisible, but 911 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.639 because it really didn't have any cover. It's just like 912 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:56.599 tall grass and some bushes, and so, you know, I 913 00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.360 mean it makes you feel creepy when they're when they're 914 00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.079 probing you, it can make you feel terrified. And people 915 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:04.159 go out into the woods at night and they're getting 916 00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.840 their thoughts scanned by them, they'll feel creeped out and terrified, 917 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.400 like we got to get out of here. But it's 918 00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:13.800 just that if you're if your psyche is being sort 919 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.719 of probed, it feels like an intrusion and it can 920 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:21.360 feel scary. So but you know, what I've learned from 921 00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.039 the BC encounters is that they're they're not scary, and 922 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:28.960 so getting back to scary, going back to the Lake 923 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:33.880 Shoeshop encounters with it was a pretty profound event. So 924 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:36.840 we were we were up on the roof looking at 925 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.679 the stars, and all of a sudden I hear all 926 00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:42.400 the rowdy teams, same kind of rowdy teams sound as 927 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.199 the Sasquatches at Widge and Creek up on the mountain, 928 00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:48.360 and they're there. They go down from the top and 929 00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:50.400 then they're going along from left to right on the 930 00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:53.800 on the on the mountains and across from me, and 931 00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:56.119 so my whole group's like, wow, is it they having 932 00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.400 a party up there? I'm like, yeah, there's nothing up there. 933 00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.400 I don't know, like people would be partying up there. 934 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:04.199 And then they were moving along and I'm like, and 935 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.679 they don't have flashlights. They're moving through the forest pretty quick, 936 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:11.559 but I should see flashlights, and so I'm thinking to 937 00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.079 my group it's Sasquatches, his team Sasquatch. Of course half 938 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:16.840 my group don't know what that is, so I'm trying 939 00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.360 to explain to them. And then they went quiet, and 940 00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:23.840 about five minutes later, pa boom, A shotgun goes off 941 00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:26.440 up there, and then I see a flashlight and I 942 00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:30.000 could see the guy wiggling his flashlight around walking and 943 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.440 I'm like, what the hell like? And then another flashlight 944 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.440 turned on about fifty yards below him, and then another 945 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:39.000 one below him, and then they're walking along the side 946 00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:41.400 and I got my binocular there because I'm like, what 947 00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:44.159 are those guys doing? And all of a sudden, pa boom, 948 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.920 were guns pa boom, and then rapid fire like they 949 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:49.840 saw something so they're trying to hit it. Boom boom boom, 950 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.039 and I'm like, my guests are getting freaked out and nervous. 951 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:54.639 I'm like, what are they doing up there? Are they 952 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:56.840 allowed to do that? I'm like, no, that's that's wrong. 953 00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:58.880 I don't know what's going on up there, Like, are 954 00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.239 they trying to shoot those kids we just heard? And 955 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:03.920 the thing is, if if they were shooting at humans, 956 00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.519 this is this is a lake, it's not there's people 957 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.880 on the lake, there's boats and people camping. If you're 958 00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.239 shooting at humans, the humans would be like, how call 959 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.360 the police. They're trying to kill us, you know, like 960 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:17.920 humans would probably be yelling out ha, you know, screaming. 961 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:21.000 There was no noise coming. There was just the guns, 962 00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.599 and so I had my binoculars and I'm trying to 963 00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:26.039 see if they're in their flash light beams, and I 964 00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:29.119 did see something flash in their beat, in their flash 965 00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:32.239 light beam. And when that happened, bam, bam, bam, rapid 966 00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:34.639 fire from one of the guys, and then another guy 967 00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.119 he was firing at something else, and another guy was 968 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.559 firing at something else. I'm like, this is like, this 969 00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.199 is wrong. They shot. They shot over twenty shots, and 970 00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.719 finally somebody on a boat on the other part of 971 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:47.719 the lake was honking, and then I could hear somebody 972 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:49.880 else yelling like what are you doing up there? And 973 00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.239 I'm like, I wouldn't be yelling at those guys they could. 974 00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.599 They could I come back every weekend, They could come 975 00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:57.079 and easily take me out. So I just kept quiet. 976 00:45:57.159 --> 00:45:59.920 But I went to the rangers cabin the next morning, 977 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:03.760 which is just a five minute walk around the point, 978 00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:07.000 and I told him what happened, and he was very concerned. 979 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.239 He's like, no, that that's wrong, and so he said, 980 00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:13.440 I'm going to have to tell the RCMP. And so 981 00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:19.159 the next weekend I I saw him and I said, 982 00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:23.239 what's happening. He goes, it's an open investigation the RCMP. 983 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.320 I had to go up there with them to determine 984 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:27.760 if people are night hunting, like hunting animals at night 985 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.119 with flashlights, getting their light, their eyes and the light 986 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:34.480 and shooting them to legal So he was looking at 987 00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:35.679 the track. He had to go up to look at 988 00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.639 the tracks. He goes, you're right, we found twenty eight 989 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.760 gun shells and it was a pretty disturbed. The RCMP 990 00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:43.280 were pretty disturbed by it. And I said, I bet 991 00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:46.079 you the people they were they were shooting were in 992 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.079 bare feet. And he looked at me like like he 993 00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.519 was shocked, and he almost said how did you know? 994 00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:55.639 But he went, how did you Why would you say that? 995 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:59.360 I go because the things that they were shooting at 996 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:03.800 were like young sauce juvenile sasquatches. And he's like, there's 997 00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.280 no such thing as sasquatch. Like rangers, you know, they 998 00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:07.840 don't want to admit that. And I go, see, you 999 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.880 can say whatever you want, but there is. And you 1000 00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:12.760 can talk to the ranger that worked at Ridge and 1001 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.760 Creek because I showed him a photo like, I guarantee 1002 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.519 you they're real, and they sounded like the ones I 1003 00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.360 had at Widget Creek and like, you know, there's you 1004 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.199 didn't find any dead bodies, but you found barefoot footprints. 1005 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.679 I know you did. And so he was like, well, 1006 00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:30.039 it's an open investigation and they're they're going to try 1007 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.199 and get to the bottom of it. And so, I mean, 1008 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:34.760 at the same time, there was this there was this 1009 00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:39.880 fugitive living in the mountains and he had escaped a 1010 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:43.119 correctional facility because he felt hitmen were after him in 1011 00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:46.519 relation to the Brexit gold scandal. He was a private 1012 00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:50.079 investigator and he was there's a book about him called 1013 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.119 The Bushman of Shueschwop and I think his name was 1014 00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:57.519 John Bromstrom or something. And so he was actively hiding 1015 00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:01.400 out when I was there and so you know the RCNP, 1016 00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:05.480 we're actively looking for him, but this was something else, 1017 00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:08.679 and it was pretty disturbing. So who are these guys 1018 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:11.599 that are trying to hunt sasquatch and shoot them? Right? 1019 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.679 That was pretty disturbing. Now another night, we're on the 1020 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.239 on the roof Blist and we're just sitting there and 1021 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.199 all of a sudden, from that same mountain, this yell 1022 00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:26.039 was so massive, like a tarzan yell, but I mean 1023 00:48:26.119 --> 00:48:28.480 the voice, the cavity, he must have been huge. And 1024 00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:33.599 he yelled for a long time. And then suddenly down 1025 00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.599 by blind Day Marina, which is at the other end 1026 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:39.159 of the lake where my marina is, we heard another one. Whah, 1027 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.559 you answer back, And then we heard a female up 1028 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:47.639 on Adam's Lake she went oh. And then they did 1029 00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:49.639 this a few more times. In my group are like, 1030 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:53.079 are they native people doing that? Or indigenous people? I'm 1031 00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:56.239 like eh. And one guy he was like a sound 1032 00:48:56.280 --> 00:48:59.800 engineer or something, and he's like, you'd need like the acoustics, 1033 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:02.440 the chest. You would have to have a massive chest 1034 00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:04.440 to yell like that. But it did sound like a 1035 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:08.000 man's voice. But no man can have a powerful voice 1036 00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.559 like that. And so that was exciting, and those are 1037 00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:14.920 those are the sort of smaller events, and then I'll 1038 00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.480 just flip into the smaller events. At Widgeon Creek where 1039 00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:21.440 there was other things happening, there was a lot happening. 1040 00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:23.679 So one of the things that happened on a busy 1041 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:27.199 day was I had a bag of dry cranberries. We 1042 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.159 were in the first waterfall. It was a sunny day. 1043 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:34.920 There's some people swimming just below the falls, and we 1044 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:36.719 were about to go. I said, okay, we got to 1045 00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:39.320 get hiking. And I looked and I saw this bulk 1046 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.800 bag of dried cranberry sitting on a log by itself, 1047 00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.840 and I thought, jeeze, I better get that. And everybody's 1048 00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:48.239 funneling out, and this Japanese girl asked if I could 1049 00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:50.599 help her with her backpack. I just spent like maybe 1050 00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.119 four seconds helping her with their strap and I looked 1051 00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:55.800 and the bag's gone. I'm like, oh, I look and 1052 00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:58.239 I don't see it in anybody's hands, Like where did 1053 00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.880 the bag go? And I go, hey, did anybody grab 1054 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.400 the cranberries? And nobody knew what I was talking about, 1055 00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:06.079 but a Swiss girl said, oh, I'm really sorry I 1056 00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:08.360 left them there. I said, well, they were just here. 1057 00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:10.960 I mean I just saw them. But and they were 1058 00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:13.320 there and now they're not. And she goes, look, here's 1059 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:15.519 a footprint in the moss. Somebody might have taken them. 1060 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.559 I said, well, somebody had taken them, we would they 1061 00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:19.440 would have been in our space, we would have seen them. 1062 00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:21.920 But it was a fresh footprint, and it was one 1063 00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:26.880 of the weird footprints. So she's looking for it. I'm 1064 00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:30.000 looking for it now. My group's hiking and so I look, 1065 00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.360 I'm like, I should find it spilled somewhere like a 1066 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:35.679 bird wouldn't fly away with it. I couldn't find one cranber. 1067 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:37.960 I couldn't find any trace of it. So I said, 1068 00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:39.800 I got to have to give up. That's it. I 1069 00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:41.920 just gonna have to give up. So I left, and 1070 00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:44.840 then the next day I'm bringing another tour in and 1071 00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.280 I'm telling them, hey, I lost the bag of cranberries here. 1072 00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:50.079 So if you're putting your food down, you know there's 1073 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.400 a little critter that might walk off with it, so 1074 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:54.679 just keep an eye out. And I get into the 1075 00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:57.199 falls and I go to point to this German Man 1076 00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.880 where I left it, and what do I see is 1077 00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:03.239 a pile of freshly picked cranberries from the ground up 1078 00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:04.880 to the top of the log. You could fit a 1079 00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.199 basketball in there. It was so many cranberries. And I'm like, 1080 00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:10.639 he goes, there's your cranberries. They just they spilled over, 1081 00:51:11.239 --> 00:51:14.480 like no, And I showed my new bag of bulk 1082 00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:17.320 dried cranberries. I'm like, these, this is what went missing 1083 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:20.360 us today. These are freshly picked, you know. And so 1084 00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:24.280 everybody nobody really was understanding the scope of it, but me, really, 1085 00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:27.320 I'm like, what kind of an animal would steal my 1086 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.559 cranberries and then replace them with fresh ones? Like this 1087 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.519 is bizarre, Like I was trying to imagine what animal 1088 00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:36.000 would do this. So everybody's like, can we equals I'm 1089 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.119 like yeah, but you know, we better wash them in 1090 00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:40.280 the river because I don't know if a squirrel or 1091 00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:41.920 I don't know what kind of animals, but maybe if 1092 00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:43.480 it carried it in its mouth, we don't want to 1093 00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:46.320 we have to wash them. So there were so many. 1094 00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:48.960 Everybody brought cranberries home with them and we were eating them, 1095 00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:51.760 and I said, you know what, guys, if this animal 1096 00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:53.559 is smart enough to do a trade like this, maybe 1097 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:55.760 it's smart enough to know that word. You know that 1098 00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:59.320 we're thanking them, so why don't we thank this mysterious 1099 00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.360 animal for giving us cranberry? So everybody held up cranberrys 1100 00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:06.719 and yelled out thank you, and far off in the woods, 1101 00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.559 I heard all this rustling, and I just, you know, 1102 00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:11.760 is that an animal. I didn't know if it was 1103 00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:13.599 related to our thank you. I thought maybe we just 1104 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:17.360 disturbed an animal by yelling thank you. But now I 1105 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.840 think of it, and I'm thinking it was the sasquatch 1106 00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:24.599 was recognizing we were we were thanking him for the cranberries. 1107 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:26.960 But at the time, I was just like, I was 1108 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:28.880 so confused. I'm like, I don't know what I told 1109 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:30.760 the ranger about it. I'm like, is there an animal 1110 00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:32.800 that would do that? And he's like, you're asking me 1111 00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:35.960 so many strange questions. I'm like, it's because I'm having 1112 00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:40.719 so many strange things happen. And so it was it 1113 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:45.000 was just, you know, amazing to see this kind of exchange. 1114 00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:48.559 But then when I got told it's sasquatch, that's when 1115 00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:50.519 I had my brain had to go back over all 1116 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:53.119 those things. And so this is a special moment. When 1117 00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:55.360 I was told, and it was after we showed the 1118 00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:58.840 range of the photograph. The Alex, the Swiss guy that 1119 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.079 was really investigating and figuring it out. He was starting 1120 00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:04.119 to call them the Sascat people, and he's like, I 1121 00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:08.960 think they're called Sasquat, Sasqet, that's what the tribal people 1122 00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:12.760 originally called them. And so he because he was reading 1123 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.360 up on it and he was really starting to figure 1124 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:19.360 it out, and so he came on a tour and 1125 00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:24.679 he pointed out He's like, look at that branch up there, 1126 00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:26.880 and I'm like, what branch? There's a million up there. 1127 00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:29.079 He goes, no, that one, and I'm like, I'm going 1128 00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:31.559 to have to go follow his finger. It was a 1129 00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:34.599 branch that was woven like sewing in and out up 1130 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.280 and down over his branches. I'm like, whoa, that is weird. 1131 00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:40.679 And I'm like, how did you even notice that? And 1132 00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:42.719 he's like, I just have a good eye for detail 1133 00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:45.719 and I So we're trying to figure out if it 1134 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:47.679 could happen naturally, and it's like, there's no way that 1135 00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:50.440 could happen naturally. But it's fourteen feet up, so how 1136 00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.000 would you even get up there to do that? And 1137 00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:56.079 so it was like, yeah, that that is weird. And 1138 00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:59.239 so you know, he noticed that, and then further on 1139 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.360 the trail, he's like, John, look at this. And it 1140 00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:06.039 was such a small thing, but strange. And so there 1141 00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:08.159 was a maple leaf that was kind of sticking out 1142 00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:11.000 into the trail at face level, and everybody sort of 1143 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:12.760 just pushing it out of the way, but he studied it. 1144 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:17.719 It was attached to another branch that was very wiry, 1145 00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.119 and the branch was coiled around another branch like a 1146 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.400 tight spring, and it was it was just rigged up 1147 00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.039 that way, and somehow this coiled branch was staying gripped 1148 00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:31.079 and tight on this branch. And he's like, do you 1149 00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:33.360 think an insect did this? This is bizarre. And I'm like, 1150 00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:36.320 how did you even notice that? And once again he 1151 00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:40.320 was noticing all these little intricate things. And I think 1152 00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:44.000 they knew his ability because they showed me they knew 1153 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.159 the Origammy artist, and they showed me they knew what 1154 00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.360 her favorite animal was by leaving her that specialized gift 1155 00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.840 flower gift. And so I thought, they probably know this 1156 00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:58.559 guy's like a security engineer officer for analysts for summit 1157 00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:02.199 meetings G seven meetings. They probably know his great ability 1158 00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:04.280 to notice things. And they're rigging them up for him, 1159 00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.840 I think, because I would never notice this stuff. And 1160 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.000 it's funny because when I read son bow True Brothers 1161 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:14.599 books Sasquatch Messages to Humanities, it meant they mentioned that 1162 00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:17.320 Sasquatch mentioned that they really want to talk to political 1163 00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:21.239 leaders or anybody that's connected to political leaders. But they'll 1164 00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.800 talk to anybody, but they wanted to talk to political 1165 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:26.920 leaders to influence him to change the way things are 1166 00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:32.320 happening with our destruction of the environment. And so you know, 1167 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:35.880 they probably saw him connected to politicians because he was. 1168 00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:38.920 He goes, yeah, I've talked to all the politicians, all 1169 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:41.079 the world politicians because they have to have meetings about 1170 00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:45.519 the security detail and things like that, and so maybe 1171 00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:49.480 they they gave him a lot of special encounters too. 1172 00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:51.559 He went up there and rented a car by himself 1173 00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:53.960 and explored, and they left them gifts when he was 1174 00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:56.800 there by himself. And so when he was on he 1175 00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:59.039 came on a whole bunch of my houseboat trips because 1176 00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:01.519 I told him they're visiting me there too, and so 1177 00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:05.119 he had one encounter he was kind of drowned. He 1178 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:06.880 was at two o'clock in the morning and he says, 1179 00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:09.800 we don't have barbecues in Switzerland, which I'm like, you don't. 1180 00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:12.360 I find that hard to believe. And he loved the 1181 00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.760 barbecue solee. He cooked a cheeseburger at like two in 1182 00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:17.159 the morning, and I woke up the next morning and 1183 00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:19.519 I could hear him talking to two other Swiss girls. 1184 00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:22.079 They're talking in German, and so I wake up. I'm like, 1185 00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:24.920 good morning, and somebody had left a big log on 1186 00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:27.440 our beach that we could use as a table or 1187 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:29.559 a chair. It was about eighty pounds and it was 1188 00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:32.280 cut nice and flat. So he had put a cheese 1189 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:35.320 cutting board on it. And I brought these two giant 1190 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:37.719 bricks of cheese on these tours, and so he had 1191 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:41.039 put one of the cheese on there, and I'm like, 1192 00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:43.079 good morning. He's like, John, I owe you an apology. 1193 00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:45.840 I love Our friends came by and took the cheese, 1194 00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:48.039 and he was trying to tell these girls about the 1195 00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:51.840 Sasquatch and they weren't believing them. And so I came 1196 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:55.360 down and on the cheese cutting board were three rocks, 1197 00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:57.880 the flowers and the grass, and he goes, but I'm 1198 00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.519 really concerned, like there was this really are up cutting 1199 00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:02.719 knife here, and where's the plastic to the cheese? Like, 1200 00:57:03.159 --> 00:57:05.480 I'm worried about this knife, that they might hurt themselves 1201 00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:08.000 or something, and I'm like, I don't think they'll hurt themselves. 1202 00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:09.960 They're pretty smart. I don't I wouldn't worry about it, 1203 00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:12.039 but we'll look around. So for about ten minutes we 1204 00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:14.960 looked around the area trying to find I was trying 1205 00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:17.320 to find Prince and I was trying to find the 1206 00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:20.400 knife and the plastic for the cheese. And suddenly one 1207 00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:22.440 of the girls says, hey, there's something sticking out from 1208 00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:25.880 under the log, and so, you know, he lifts the 1209 00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:28.079 log up and there's the plastic to the cheese, and 1210 00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:31.920 then dead center there's the knife laying flat. Not only flat, 1211 00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:36.559 but it was pressed down into the earth. And Alex 1212 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:38.599 freaked out because he was trying to convince these girls 1213 00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:41.079 it's not a bear, it's not an animal. And he's like, 1214 00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:43.559 you see, what kind of an animal would take such 1215 00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:46.039 precautions with a knife. It was he put it under 1216 00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:48.599 the log. And so these girls are asking John is 1217 00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:50.199 this true? Is he telling us the truth? They are 1218 00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:53.559 these creatures real? And I'm like yes, and they're like no, really, 1219 00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:55.519 and I go, yes, I'm not lying. They are real. 1220 00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:58.440 They're coming and visiting every weekend. And so these girls 1221 00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:02.880 started freaking out because they're realizing wow, you know. And 1222 00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:08.079 so on another tour, he came because he was obsessed. 1223 00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:11.079 He just wanted to keep coming back from my barbecue chicken. 1224 00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:17.280 And so he I cooked the chicken that usually around 1225 00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:21.719 eleven thirty at night on a Saturday, and he had 1226 00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:24.159 two heaping platefuls and he was pretty drunk. He had 1227 00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:26.599 a big rum and coke gone, and he did a 1228 00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:30.039 tequila shot with somebody and then he sat in the 1229 00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:32.280 chair and he had piled a third plate of food. 1230 00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.039 He had like four pieces of chicken. It was just 1231 00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:36.480 a mountain of food and it was on the table 1232 00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:39.239 and it looked like like he was starting to fall asleep. 1233 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:40.960 And I said Alex, like, I'm going to bed. Do 1234 00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:42.639 you want me to do you want me to bring 1235 00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:44.280 in your plate of food? Are you gonna have it 1236 00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:46.639 for breakfast? And he's like no, no, I'm going to 1237 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:48.880 eat that. I'm going to eat that. I'm like, okay, 1238 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:51.920 good night. And so I woke up to hearing chewing sounds, 1239 00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:54.360 you know, and I thought, oh, Alex is eating his food, 1240 00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:55.840 went back to sleep. So I woke up in the 1241 00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:58.920 morning and I got up and there's Alex still sleeping 1242 00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:01.440 in the chair, but it's tilting like the leaning Tower 1243 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:04.199 of Pisa, and his drinks about the spillet on his crotch, 1244 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:07.039 and the right beside him is an old root structure, 1245 00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:09.760 all protruding sharp objects, and I think if he falls over, 1246 00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:12.159 his head's gonna land on that. So I ran down 1247 00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:16.760 and I secured the chair, got his drink, and then 1248 00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:19.280 woke him up and he's like whoa, I go. I 1249 00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:21.639 figured I better catch you before you fall on that thing. 1250 00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.639 He's like oh. The first thing he thinks is oh, 1251 00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:28.800 my chicken. And I go, well, didn't I heard you 1252 00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:30.559 eating it? Didn't you eat it last night? And he's 1253 00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:32.960 like no. I go over to his plate and I'm going, oh, 1254 00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:39.000 it's full of free rocks, flowers and grass, and I go, Alex, 1255 00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:41.039 your buddies. And then he was obsessed with trying to 1256 00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:43.159 see these guys. I go, Alex, you were sleeping in 1257 00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:45.039 the chair. They came out and ate your food. I'm 1258 00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:48.760 laughing and he's like, oh wow. So he went back 1259 00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:51.079 to his chair to grab his sunglass. It was really sunny, 1260 00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:53.679 and I saw him grab something else, and so he 1261 00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:56.000 picked up this thing and it was it was a 1262 00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:59.960 doll of a reindeer made out of like really clear 1263 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.480 being straw or hey, and it was really tightly bundled 1264 01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:05.199 and had some weight to it. And I had these 1265 01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:08.440 little wooden twig sticking out of the head like antlers. 1266 01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:11.400 And he's like, what's this? Is this yours? Is this 1267 01:00:11.519 --> 01:00:13.920 from the boat? Like I've never seen that before? And 1268 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.639 he's like, did somebody make this? Like he's trying to 1269 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:18.599 make some I don't know where that came from. So 1270 01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:20.599 then he went into the boat and he asked everybody, Hey, 1271 01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:23.480 does anybody recognizes anybody? And everybody's like, nobody knows what 1272 01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:25.559 it is. And we're looking at and I go, oh 1273 01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:28.639 my god, it's the saw squat. So I run over 1274 01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:30.800 to his chair and I find these impressions in the 1275 01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:33.039 pebble beach, Like it's not good for leaving footprints, but 1276 01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:36.440 you can leave a deep impression. And I see these 1277 01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:38.880 giant prints. They're like, I don't know, they're like three 1278 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:41.280 feet apart and they're I don't know, a SI seventeen 1279 01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:43.760 or eighteen, I would guess, And I so it was 1280 01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:46.920 probably one of the big guys, and I go, I'm 1281 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:49.159 laughing him. I go, guys, stood right next to you 1282 01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:51.840 while you're pasted out and put this thing under your 1283 01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:54.800 chair and you didn't even wake up. Now, the chief 1284 01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:56.840 told me they can make sure that you stay asleep, 1285 01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:58.519 or they can put you to sleep. I don't think 1286 01:00:58.519 --> 01:00:59.880 they would have ever had to do that to me, 1287 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:02.559 because I was always pretty tired. And I would wake 1288 01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:05.000 up and hearing them eat, and they're like, oh, they're here, 1289 01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:07.000 they're eating, and then I doze back off to sleep. 1290 01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:09.199 And I know that sounds ridiculous, but that's how used 1291 01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:12.039 to them I got. And sometimes I would wake up 1292 01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:13.960 and I would just hear them leaving, or i'd hear 1293 01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:16.920 them just arriving. But sometimes they didn't stay awake for 1294 01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:19.360 their whole visit. I was just so tired because I 1295 01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:22.079 was a pretty busy guy with running that company with 1296 01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:26.800 my cousin and all the busyness. But so I said 1297 01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:29.320 to him, he said, well, I should give this to you. 1298 01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:31.360 It's your boat tour. And I'm like, no way, man, 1299 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:33.199 they looked it under you. That's a gift for you. 1300 01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.519 That's not for me. It's for you, and he goes, 1301 01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:40.000 it's funny because you know, there's a significance to reindeers 1302 01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:43.679 in my family. Now, either in Switzerland his family in 1303 01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:46.599 a reindeer farm, or he had reindeer in the coat 1304 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:49.000 of arms, I can't remember. There was a connection to 1305 01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:52.559 reindeers in his family. And I said, well, there you go. 1306 01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.719 There's confirmation right there. You found the connection, just like 1307 01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:59.239 the rig any artists who got her little gift. They 1308 01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.320 He goes, but look at this straw. Where would they 1309 01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:03.360 get this straw from. There's no farms around. I'm like, 1310 01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:05.719 and he's like, look at how clean it is. I'm like, yeah, 1311 01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:08.280 who knows where they got it from? Right, it could 1312 01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:11.639 be marsh grass, but I mean it was so well made, 1313 01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:13.960 and it was a reindeer, and I thought, wow, this 1314 01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:18.280 is just just incredible. And you know, when they show 1315 01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.000 these types of interactions, you just want more. You just 1316 01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:23.719 want to know, you know, what's going on with these people. 1317 01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:25.760 I need to know more. The Chief inform me a lot, 1318 01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:28.960 but I still don't know everything. I can just think 1319 01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:33.440 to them and you know, take it all in that way. 1320 01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:37.840 But yeah, I guess. I mean, there's there's more rolling 1321 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:41.039 around him. Oh, There's one more amazing event that happened 1322 01:02:41.039 --> 01:02:43.840 on widge And Creek I'd like to bring up. You know, 1323 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:46.840 the rocks were lying down the trail. That happened a 1324 01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:49.760 few times, and I didn't know what was doing it. 1325 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.159 And so then one time I was coming down and 1326 01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:54.360 I see the ranger with two park workers and they're 1327 01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:57.960 staring at this enormous boulder on the trail and it's 1328 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:01.239 about the size of the kitchen stove. And I'm looking 1329 01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:03.079 at them like, what are you guys doing with this rock? 1330 01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:04.960 And they're like, we're trying to figure out how it 1331 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:08.039 got here, and I'm like, I'm like, and the ranger 1332 01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:10.599 goes it's like it got lowered from the sky and 1333 01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:12.840 it's like pretty flat. Training I'm like, well, it's not 1334 01:03:12.920 --> 01:03:15.239 as if it rolled rolled down into the ear. It's 1335 01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:18.079 like there's no there's no hills to for it to roll, 1336 01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.360 and it's kind of a pyramidal type of shape like it, 1337 01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:21.639 you know. 1338 01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:22.000 And so. 1339 01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:26.159 One of the workers is like, well, I've seen rocks 1340 01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:28.079 that roll down mountains and they'd leave a trail there 1341 01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:31.840 squashed plant matter on it. Like this thing's pristine. It's 1342 01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:34.840 like there's no tracks around it. So we're all looking 1343 01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.159 at it, going what the hell, And then the one 1344 01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:38.760 of the park workers says, I think we should get 1345 01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:41.920 a jackhammer and break into the small pieces, because they 1346 01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:45.239 needed to get their their vehicle past it and they couldn't. 1347 01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:49.559 So so then the rangers like, no, I don't like 1348 01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:51.679 that jackcat right, idea, we'll figure it out. So then 1349 01:03:51.719 --> 01:03:53.199 the next day I'm back there and they've got this 1350 01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:56.199 I think it was a bobcat with like tank treads 1351 01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:58.719 on it, and they had all these yellow strappings, thick 1352 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:02.320 canvas strappings they wrapped around it. They were tugging it 1353 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.639 inch by inch with this bobcat until they could get 1354 01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:07.480 the bobcat on the other side of it and then 1355 01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.280 push it inch by inch towards the side of the trail. 1356 01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:12.840 And this was just up from the berry patch where 1357 01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:15.519 many of us would look down when we heard the monkeys. 1358 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:18.360 We would look down from the road vantage point down 1359 01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:22.079 into the area behind the berry patch to see if 1360 01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:24.119 we could find anything back where we heard them. So 1361 01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.119 this is where this rock was. And so they were 1362 01:04:27.159 --> 01:04:29.079 able to shove it off the edge, and we were 1363 01:04:29.119 --> 01:04:30.880 expecting it to roll down this hill, but it just 1364 01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.280 sank into the earth and the one guy's like, it's 1365 01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.519 too heavy to roll, and the other guys like, well, 1366 01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:37.920 that's not going anywhere. And I said, are you sure 1367 01:04:37.920 --> 01:04:40.400 about that? And he goes, why you think it's going 1368 01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:42.360 to roll? And I said, well, no, it's somehow got 1369 01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:45.400 in the middle of the trail. So maybe like how 1370 01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:46.679 did he get in the trail? And he's like, that's 1371 01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:48.440 the one thing we don't know. We can't figure out 1372 01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:50.400 how it got in the middle of the trail. And 1373 01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:55.239 you know, so when the day that I was told 1374 01:04:55.360 --> 01:05:00.840 it was Sasquatch, I got back into the Canoe rental 1375 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:03.360 shack and I was talking to Charlie, who ran the 1376 01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:06.920 rental shack, and I was buying something off of him, 1377 01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:09.679 and he said, hey, I was talking to a couple 1378 01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:12.239 of Catsy Nation guys. You know, this is after the 1379 01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:14.360 ranger had seen the photos, so there was a buzz 1380 01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:17.159 the Catsy Nation people were talking about it. He said, 1381 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.880 they know what all that encounters, all everything that's happening 1382 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.559 over there. They know I know what it is. I'm like, oh, yeah, 1383 01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:25.280 what is it? And I put my hand out as 1384 01:05:25.320 --> 01:05:27.480 he dropped the change in my hand that was over 1385 01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:29.920 the cash register box. As he dropped the change in 1386 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:33.719 my hand. He said it's Young Kan Sasquatches and I said, 1387 01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:37.639 Young Kane Sasquatches. That's great, and he's like, no, I'm serious. 1388 01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:40.679 I'm like oh, and and he's like, no, I'm serious. 1389 01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.239 I agree with him. That's I think that's what's happening. 1390 01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:46.000 And I'm like oh, and I like, I really, it's 1391 01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:47.360 like a brick hit me in my head. I turned 1392 01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:49.119 around and I had there was a Korean girl from 1393 01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:51.480 my group behind me. She had this giant Mister Big 1394 01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:54.880 chocolate bar in her hand and she's waiting to buy it. 1395 01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:59.239 And I'm like, whoa, young teen Sasquatches. I just like 1396 01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:01.519 a brick hit me in the head. And I'm like whoa. 1397 01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:04.920 And he's like, yeah, yeah, isn't that cool. I go, well, 1398 01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:07.800 I'm gonna have to process this. I'm like, now all 1399 01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:11.440 these experiences that I had were flooding in, like oh okay, 1400 01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:14.039 I'm starting to match it all up. And he's like 1401 01:06:14.159 --> 01:06:17.599 isn't that cool? Like that's what it is, these catcination 1402 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:22.280 people know. And I said, well, then I guess no 1403 01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:25.480 monkeys need rescuing and he's like, nope, no monkeys need 1404 01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:29.360 rescuing because I thought monkeys need rescuing, right, And I 1405 01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:31.719 saw him like whoa, And so I kind of walk 1406 01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:34.199 away in a daze. And as I'm walking away, I 1407 01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:37.360 hear this Korean girl asking him what's sasage? What sausage? 1408 01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:41.039 And he's like, no, it's saw squash. So he's trying 1409 01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:42.920 to teach her because he knew all these language students 1410 01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:45.719 didn't speak well. So he's like saw squatch and she's 1411 01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:48.880 like sausatch and he's like saw squatch. And so I 1412 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:51.159 pushed open a screen door and left at that point, 1413 01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:53.719 and I went to go strap down my canoes to 1414 01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.039 the trailer, and I'm like, I better pay attention to 1415 01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:58.440 what I'm doing here, because like this is really getting 1416 01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:01.119 me in the head. And so just a minute goes 1417 01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:03.199 by and it comes flying out of a shack and 1418 01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:05.039 he comes running over. Did you see the big airy guy? 1419 01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:07.199 And I go, what are you talking about? She just 1420 01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:08.760 I told her what a sauce squat it was, and 1421 01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:10.880 she said she saw one over there. I'm like what, 1422 01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:14.039 And so I asked the girl, I'm I'm like, what 1423 01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.280 did you see? And so she's composing herself because their 1424 01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:21.519 English is very bad. And she's like, I see really 1425 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:28.199 really big hairyman, big muscles, hair like dog and h 1426 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:31.960 and no shirt. And so she said no shirt. I'm like, okay, 1427 01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:35.079 some guy's over there without a shirt and she's like 1428 01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:38.519 that she's describing me sasquatch. I go, well, are you 1429 01:07:38.639 --> 01:07:40.840 sure it wasn't a bear and she goes, no, have 1430 01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:44.119 man's face. She points at her face man face, man's 1431 01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:47.639 face And I go okay, and you say, is he's Harry? 1432 01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:50.199 Did he have a beard? And she goes, what is beard? 1433 01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:54.280 And I described the beard and she goes, yeah, whole face, 1434 01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:58.360 hair like dog. And I go whole face. And Charlie's like, 1435 01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:02.079 that's a saucequatch, like whole space and like where was it? 1436 01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:04.360 And it was in the in the marsh and I said, well, 1437 01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:06.360 was it when we were going in there? Coming out? 1438 01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:09.119 She goes, when we go in, very close to the 1439 01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:11.960 picnic area, And I said, well, was he close to 1440 01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:13.960 the water? And so I backed up and I said 1441 01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:16.239 this farest he was about fifteen feet away from us. 1442 01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:18.640 And I said did he have any pants on? And 1443 01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:20.760 she goes, he was in the tall grass. I only 1444 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:23.079 saw from the stomach up. And then She's like, he 1445 01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:26.960 had really big muscles. I go like, was he like me? 1446 01:08:27.199 --> 01:08:31.079 She goes, oh, no, you small. He very big, and 1447 01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:35.760 so so I'm like, okay, so what was he doing? 1448 01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:38.880 And she goes, we were looking into each other's eyes. 1449 01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:41.439 He had blue eyes, and it's like, okay, at blue 1450 01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:45.079 eyed Sasquatch. And I said, well, did he wave? She's 1451 01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:47.279 like no, I go did anybody else see him? She's like, 1452 01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:49.119 I don't think so I think she was the last 1453 01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:52.920 person in the last canoe, And so I said, well 1454 01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:55.079 what she goes. We went around the corner and I 1455 01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:57.840 couldn't see him anymore. And I thought the same time, 1456 01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:00.560 I'm being told at sasquatches, and now I have a 1457 01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:03.560 student telling me immediately after that she saw one. So 1458 01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:06.840 I was just like, whoa, this is blowing my mind. 1459 01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:09.840 So I was probably the most excited guy in the van. 1460 01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:12.119 Every time we were going out there, I'm like, oh, man, 1461 01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:13.920 I can't wait. I wonder what's going to happen. And 1462 01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:17.079 you know, half the people I can't even tell about 1463 01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.199 sas squats because they don't it's too difficult to tell them. 1464 01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:25.640 And so then when I was I had this one 1465 01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:28.000 guy he came up to me, and he heard about 1466 01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:29.880 the Sasquatch and he came up in the schools and 1467 01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:32.680 he's like, there's sasquatch there. Everybody saw there's sasquatch. I 1468 01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:35.399 gotta see them. I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, sign on up. 1469 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:38.600 I guarantee you'll get flowers. You'll probably hear them. And 1470 01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:42.479 so he's like, there's one problem. I'm terrified of being 1471 01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:44.279 on boats. I don't even want to be on a dock. 1472 01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:47.239 And I'm like, well, we have to boat over there, 1473 01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:48.880 you know, and he goes, I was studying a map 1474 01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:50.399 of the area. Can hike in a trail. I go, 1475 01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.399 That trail's underwater now, it's disintegrated, it's no longer active. 1476 01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:56.520 And he said, well, there's another trail. I go, that's 1477 01:09:56.640 --> 01:09:58.640 that's the government trail. You're not allowed to go there. 1478 01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:01.600 There's cameras, there's rangers. If they catch you, you'll get 1479 01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:03.880 fined and then you'll turn you around. So that that's 1480 01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:06.520 not going to work. And he's like, oh, I gotta 1481 01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:08.399 go there. I go, well, you're gonna have to go 1482 01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:11.359 by boat, and he's like I can't. So he left 1483 01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:13.479 and then he came back twenty minutes later and he 1484 01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:15.640 just slaps some money down. He's like, I'm going, and 1485 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:18.720 he's like determined. I'm like, well, wait a second, Like, 1486 01:10:19.279 --> 01:10:21.199 I can't take you if you're like if you have 1487 01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:23.199 a panic, or if you can't if you decide you 1488 01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:25.239 can't go on the boat, I have to leave you 1489 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:27.520 for the whole day at the van in the parking lot, 1490 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:29.439 you know, but you can spend time with Charlie and 1491 01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:32.319 maybe there's sasquatch on that side too, maybe you can 1492 01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:35.960 explore there. And he's like, no, no, I'm going. I'm going. 1493 01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:37.800 I'm going to do it. I'm going to break through 1494 01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:41.560 my fear. I'm like, okay. I told my cousin about it. 1495 01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:43.560 I'm like, should I bring this guy? And he's like, well, 1496 01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:45.520 just leave him at the van and leave him food 1497 01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:49.159 and drinks if he gets terrified. So when I picked 1498 01:10:49.199 --> 01:10:52.600 up the group, it was all very tiny girls, Japanese 1499 01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:55.319 Korean girls, and then this this guy's like six foot four, 1500 01:10:55.720 --> 01:10:58.079 and so we're driving there and he's telling these girls 1501 01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:01.000 about his phobia, like he's terrified of the water and boats, 1502 01:11:01.479 --> 01:11:04.239 and they're all supportive. They're like, oh, you'll be okay. 1503 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:07.000 And so we get there and I get all the 1504 01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:09.560 girls in the canoes, and I getting them to practice 1505 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:12.159 figure eights and circles just along the shore. Get used 1506 01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:15.119 to steering, and so I get him in the last 1507 01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:17.800 The canoe is almost basically at the boat ramped like 1508 01:11:17.880 --> 01:11:20.079 it's touching the ground, and he's like, I think I 1509 01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:21.720 want to steer it. So he gets to the back 1510 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.439 he goes, I'll steer. I'm like, okay, this is going well. 1511 01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:27.279 He's in the boat and the pier is like, I 1512 01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:30.880 don't know, it's like sixty yards long. And so I 1513 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:33.319 started to pull the boat. I pulled it about five 1514 01:11:33.439 --> 01:11:36.079 feet and he panicked. He almost threw the girl in 1515 01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:38.600 the middle bench into the water. I mean he really 1516 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:41.119 man handled her and jumped out on the dock and 1517 01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:44.560 he was hyperventilating, and I'm like, okay, this is not 1518 01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:48.319 going to happen. And I said, look, you know, just 1519 01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:51.119 take some breast, take some breast, get some water. Okay, 1520 01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:53.560 drink drink some water. So he's drinking. I go, okay, 1521 01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.319 like it looks like you're gonna have to spend the 1522 01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:58.880 day in the van, and you know, I mean, I 1523 01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.119 can't have you panicking like that. And he apologized to 1524 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:04.560 the girl, and and so I said you should go 1525 01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:07.039 to the back, and so you know, I said, look, 1526 01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:09.199 get on the middle bench there and and put your 1527 01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:11.399 hands on the edges of the canoes and just hold 1528 01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:14.039 them tight. You don't have to paddle, just try it out. 1529 01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:15.880 So I had to back up the canoe so it 1530 01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:18.640 was touching the ground, and uh. He got on the 1531 01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:22.560 middle and his knuckles are white, and he's he's testing it. 1532 01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:24.439 I said, well, let's walk down to the end of 1533 01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:26.359 the pier and back just to break in. And he's like, 1534 01:12:26.479 --> 01:12:28.920 I'm not walking down there. It's like, well, I mean 1535 01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:30.479 we're going to be in a kinde of going farther 1536 01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:32.880 than that, so you're going to have to just mentally prepare. 1537 01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:35.680 And so I think, what do you think you feel 1538 01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:38.359 pretty stable? Just grip the sides and just stay like that. 1539 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:41.199 Do you think he can do it? He's like yeah, yeah. 1540 01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:43.720 And so I didn't give any opportunity. I shove the 1541 01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:45.960 boat in the water. I just push it away and 1542 01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:48.880 I go girls like he was, he could still jump out. 1543 01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:50.960 It's like me deep, I go steer for deep water 1544 01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:52.880 before he jumps out. And he got up. He tried 1545 01:12:52.920 --> 01:12:54.520 to jump out, but then he did, then he had 1546 01:12:54.560 --> 01:12:57.239 to sit back down, and so the rest of the 1547 01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:59.399 girls were already crossing, and so we had to catch 1548 01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:01.840 up to them. So I paddled up next to him 1549 01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:04.640 and he's just freaking out. He's just every muscles walked, 1550 01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:07.880 and I go, hey, how you doing. He goes terrified. 1551 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:10.560 I go, well, then just stay like that for ten 1552 01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:13.319 minutes and he goes, what do you mean. You go, well, 1553 01:13:13.439 --> 01:13:16.479 just don't panic and tip the boat. He goes, I'm 1554 01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:18.239 not going to do that. Don't talk to me, get 1555 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.479 away from me. So I'm like, okay, I'm going to 1556 01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:23.439 leave him alone. So when we got into the creek, 1557 01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:26.960 he relaxed and all the girls clapped. Everybody was celebrating. 1558 01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:30.199 He made this huge accomplishment. And so we got into 1559 01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:33.880 the picnic area and immediately the Sasquatchs were beside us, 1560 01:13:33.960 --> 01:13:36.000 right in the trees, beside us in the picnic area, 1561 01:13:36.399 --> 01:13:39.880 and they just erupted with their rowdy team calls and 1562 01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:42.600 the girls are like, who's that. I thought, like, we're 1563 01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.239 the only people here. I go, oh, these guys live here, 1564 01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:47.199 and I'm trying to tell the girls, but he's like, 1565 01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:50.359 it's Sasquatch. Is that them? I'm like, that's them, buddy, 1566 01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:53.880 And so he got his flower gift. And then when 1567 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:55.760 it was time to go back, it was a very 1568 01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:57.960 windy day and there was a bit of tidal current 1569 01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:02.159 because it's a tidal river and it was choppy. I'm like, oh, 1570 01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:03.920 like we didn't know until we got out of the 1571 01:14:03.960 --> 01:14:06.239 creek and I'm like oh. And so he's like, no, 1572 01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:09.479 take me to the shore. He's panicking because he's seeing 1573 01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:12.000 the rough water. We got him across. He got out 1574 01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:15.039 and he kissed the ground. And then the next time 1575 01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:18.119 I saw him at school, he came out to me 1576 01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:19.960 and he goes, guess what, And I go what. He goes, 1577 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:24.640 I'm going whitewater wrapping. I'm like, good for you, man, 1578 01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:27.079 you're overcoming your fears. He goes, like, told my dad 1579 01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:29.079 I got on a boat. He was he was so 1580 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:32.319 proud of me. So it was just amazing, how, you know, 1581 01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.279 his obsession that he wanted to go see Sasquatch, he 1582 01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:38.600 had to overcome his immense fear of being on the water. 1583 01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:42.479 Just just a beautiful experience to see somebody break through that, 1584 01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:46.600 you know. And so I mean, many many other encounters, 1585 01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:50.039 but I think I could there's more deed probably put 1586 01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:53.119 in my book, but I think there's more I can say, 1587 01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:55.600 but I thought, you know, maybe I'll leave it to 1588 01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:57.520 you if you want to have any questions. 1589 01:14:57.199 --> 01:15:01.159 For me now, all right, I appreciate you for sharing 1590 01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:05.680 that with me. And the creature that you encountered when 1591 01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:08.880 you were riding your bike. Do you think it was 1592 01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:10.960 a little person or a bigfoot? What are your thoughts 1593 01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:11.319 about that? 1594 01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:17.319 Ah, you know there's nature spirits, there's all kinds this. 1595 01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:20.199 I think it had to have been a sasquatch because 1596 01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:22.479 people have seen them up there. I feel them, I 1597 01:15:22.600 --> 01:15:25.000 feel that signature in me. I feel that. So I 1598 01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:26.800 think at the time I thought it must be like 1599 01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:28.960 a leprechaun because I didn't I couldn't make sense of 1600 01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:33.560 this invisible entity that I was obviously there. I wasn't crazy. 1601 01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:36.239 I was by myself that I know, like I bush 1602 01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:39.079 whacked up there a lot, and I did find structures 1603 01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:42.000 another time in the winter, a big giant tripod. I 1604 01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:45.119 thought it was an old teepee. So I think it 1605 01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:48.840 was probably sasquatch for sure. Yeah, because they do have 1606 01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:52.680 that invisibility. They do take on whirlwinds. Oh oh, there's 1607 01:15:52.760 --> 01:15:55.159 no there's one amazing encounter, I must say, at widge 1608 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:58.079 And Creek this is a different type of encounter. I 1609 01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:00.079 got up to the falls and we didn't even of 1610 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:03.439 our packs off beautiful sunny day, not even a breeze. Suddenly, 1611 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:07.640 like a vacuum brought in this turbulent wind. Just in 1612 01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:11.239 one second. I looked. All the trees are swaying differently, 1613 01:16:11.319 --> 01:16:13.000 ones going up and down, the one next to it's 1614 01:16:13.039 --> 01:16:17.159 going sideways, and you could feel this staticky electricity in 1615 01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:20.239 the air, and the wind is turbulent. And then the guy, 1616 01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:22.760 there's a guy above me about further up on the falls, 1617 01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:25.960 and he goes, look, there's this fourteen foot tall whirlwind, 1618 01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:28.039 and then another one, and then another one, and they're 1619 01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:30.520 moving and they go down the river, and one crossed 1620 01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:32.439 over a log that was going over the gorge of 1621 01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:35.640 the falls. It's a log that's been wedged in there 1622 01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:38.720 for years. And then it went down into the forest. 1623 01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:41.800 And I'm looking at these fourteen foot tall whirlwinds. They're 1624 01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:44.439 kicking up and they're pretty strong, and it's just the 1625 01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:48.079 turbulent wind was everywhere. But then there's these voroses flowing 1626 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:50.840 around and he's like, look at that, and We're looking 1627 01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:53.479 at these vortices and I'm like, what the hell. And 1628 01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:56.039 this girl's next to me, she's like, what the hell's happening. 1629 01:16:56.279 --> 01:16:58.319 I go, I don't know. And the wind. I'm looking 1630 01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:00.159 at the trees. I'm like, look at the trees. They're 1631 01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:02.760 all moving differently. They're not flowing the same, They're all 1632 01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:06.159 like slow motion. It was really weird. And this guy's 1633 01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:08.439 looking up. He goes, something's a hut up above us, 1634 01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:10.399 like I feel something. I think a ship's up there. 1635 01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:12.880 And I'm looking up. I don't see anything. And these 1636 01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:17.079 ravens were circling around a big circle and it's like 1637 01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:20.479 this is so bizarre. And the wind's just swirling and 1638 01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:22.640 swirling and swirling. And then this girl's reaching out in 1639 01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:23.960 front of her. She goes, it feels like there's a 1640 01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:25.760 bunch of people in front of me. And then another 1641 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.359 guy goes, yeah, it feels like people are over here. 1642 01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:30.960 And I started to feel like this whole area was 1643 01:17:31.039 --> 01:17:33.880 filled up with people, and I'm like, what the hell, 1644 01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:36.279 what the hell's going on? All of a sudden, in 1645 01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:39.319 one second, as fast as the wind came in, the 1646 01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:42.720 wind was gone. Just in one second. They didn't gradually leave. 1647 01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:45.800 It was just gone, and this girl. Everybody was standing 1648 01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:48.119 like they had just gone through an earthquake, like you know, 1649 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:50.159 the ground was unsteady. And this girl looks at me. 1650 01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:52.680 She goes, what the hell just happened? I go, I 1651 01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:55.039 don't know. She goes, has that happened before? I go? 1652 01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:55.319 No? 1653 01:17:56.079 --> 01:18:00.199 And so I understand that sasquatches can take on these 1654 01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.199 whirlwind sighte of effects. The one that I had at 1655 01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:07.199 Christy Lake was a very lazy one, and it wasn't 1656 01:18:07.279 --> 01:18:10.560 fourteen feet tall. It was maybe maybe six feet tall 1657 01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:15.119 or seven feet tall. But these whirlwinds were very structured 1658 01:18:15.279 --> 01:18:18.159 and they seem to have some control and we're moving. 1659 01:18:18.279 --> 01:18:20.800 So that was a bizarre one I wanted to bring 1660 01:18:20.920 --> 01:18:24.119 up because it's not It's also a time when I 1661 01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:26.800 still wasn't aware of sasquatch, and so it was just 1662 01:18:27.159 --> 01:18:29.279 it was more like the one guy thought that there 1663 01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:31.359 must have been a UFO over us, but it was 1664 01:18:31.479 --> 01:18:36.159 cloaked because we could feel this magnetic energy and it 1665 01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:38.920 did feel bizarre. So that's why it's like sometimes when 1666 01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:42.159 I saw I had the predator experience with the teleportation 1667 01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.039 one and then the invisible ones at the German guys 1668 01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:47.920 that were with me and they're like, they're invisible. We 1669 01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:50.479 were kind of thinking they're aliens. And then another time 1670 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:52.880 when we heard the girls behind the bush whistling and 1671 01:18:52.920 --> 01:18:56.359 stuff that makes impossible sounds with their voices, it's like, 1672 01:18:56.720 --> 01:18:58.520 the one guy said, this reminds me of a Wonder 1673 01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:01.199 Woman episode where they're a we're in the bushes making 1674 01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:05.000 weird noises, and I'm like remember that episode, and it's like, yeah, 1675 01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:07.239 it's kind of like that. So you could think that, 1676 01:19:07.439 --> 01:19:10.119 you know, maybe they're aliens or maybe their ghosts. In 1677 01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:12.760 Christie Lake in the Perth area, a woman wrote about 1678 01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:16.359 Haunted Perth or the hauntings in the eighteen hundreds and 1679 01:19:16.439 --> 01:19:20.239 nineteen hundreds with sticks would get thrown into the windows 1680 01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:23.319 of these settlers cabin they'd throw it back out and 1681 01:19:23.359 --> 01:19:25.760 they'll get thrown back in. So she wrote about all 1682 01:19:25.800 --> 01:19:28.600 these ghostly things that I'm like, that's asquatch, that's not 1683 01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:33.840 a ghost. But people might misinterpret these invisible situations as 1684 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:37.600 ghosts or whatever. How can you interpret them? It takes 1685 01:19:37.640 --> 01:19:40.079 a long time to put it all together, and so 1686 01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:42.079 it took me a long time to piece all of 1687 01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:45.880 this together and come to the epiphanies and realizations that 1688 01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:48.760 I have for now, and that's why I'm able to 1689 01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:52.039 write it out and get my book structured, and eventually 1690 01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:54.520 I will put it out with maybe a little bit 1691 01:19:54.560 --> 01:19:57.359 more detailed, probably will just be a digital book online. 1692 01:19:57.399 --> 01:20:00.319 But yeah, so I guess I wanted to throw that 1693 01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:03.720 one out there and leave it at that. So I 1694 01:20:03.800 --> 01:20:06.279 can't say there's so much more that I could tell, 1695 01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:10.439 little things that happen, but yeah, I just I guess 1696 01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:12.840 I'll leave it at that for you, Okay. 1697 01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:16.800 I appreciate you for sharing the main experiences that you've 1698 01:20:16.880 --> 01:20:20.319 had out there. And do you continue to go out 1699 01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:23.479 to that area or was that only when you were 1700 01:20:23.560 --> 01:20:24.960 employed there at the campground? 1701 01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:30.720 Oh? In BC? I haven't been out in BC. I 1702 01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:33.000 went out two weeks for two weeks the next year 1703 01:20:33.039 --> 01:20:35.239 to help my cousin hire some people and stuff. But 1704 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:37.520 I can't even remember what happened out there. I don't 1705 01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:39.520 think much happened when I went out there. I do 1706 01:20:40.039 --> 01:20:43.439 when I was driving to the shoe swap going through Hope, 1707 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:46.640 there's a river. I can't if it's a Chilliwack river 1708 01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:49.800 or if it's a Fraser, but I would tell people 1709 01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:52.039 quite often I see bears there, but one time the 1710 01:20:52.239 --> 01:20:56.720 river was raging, like it looks totally dangerous, and I look, 1711 01:20:56.760 --> 01:20:58.880 and I'm telling people you sometimes you see bears. And 1712 01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:01.560 I see a big guy sasquatch standing in the middle 1713 01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:03.560 of the river and the waters just passed his knees, 1714 01:21:03.560 --> 01:21:06.439 and it's like, that's impossible. And everybody in my van 1715 01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:09.720 saw him because they gasped, like, oh, do you see 1716 01:21:09.800 --> 01:21:11.960 that guy? And there was a little one on the shore, 1717 01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:14.239 but he was in the water and the water was 1718 01:21:14.359 --> 01:21:17.319 just as turbulent at the shore. It's like, that's impossible. 1719 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:19.880 How are they standing in the water. And so I 1720 01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:23.520 had four sightings in that river while I was driving 1721 01:21:23.600 --> 01:21:27.520 through Hope in the daylight. And they have sasquatch crossing 1722 01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:33.000 signs there on the highway, and so there was a few. 1723 01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:35.760 One other time there was I looked like four females 1724 01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:39.720 on the on the shore, and half my van saw them. 1725 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:42.000 They're like, look at all things, and I'm like, polls 1726 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.640 are sawsquatched? And there was some little I saw some 1727 01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:46.520 little ones off to the side, but there was about 1728 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:48.479 four females and one of them was in the water 1729 01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:51.680 like as if she was bending down washing or something. 1730 01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:54.920 And then I saw further over on another part of 1731 01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:57.760 the river about nine people. They had all like yellow 1732 01:21:57.800 --> 01:22:00.279 and blue and jackets and red jackets, and they're all 1733 01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:03.880 jumping down. They're looking at what I'm seeing. So I 1734 01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:07.159 witnessed the sasquatch on the shore of that river as 1735 01:22:07.159 --> 01:22:09.119 I'm driving on the highway, so I couldn't look too 1736 01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:11.840 long because I had to drive and focus. But I 1737 01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:15.920 saw these people on the river having their own sasquatch 1738 01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:19.760 encounter or event sighting. So I saw the sasquatch, and 1739 01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:21.720 then I saw these people over there jumping up and 1740 01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:24.199 down because they saw them too, So that was pretty incredible. 1741 01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:28.520 But as far as Christie Lake, I did go hiking 1742 01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:31.039 up there when I realized they're up there, and I 1743 01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:33.319 did do plate gifting. I left stuff out for them. 1744 01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:35.720 I didn't feel their presence, but I found which I 1745 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:39.479 found structures which I filmed and photo. I've taken little 1746 01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:43.880 videos of them. And because I did find some peculiar 1747 01:22:44.119 --> 01:22:47.760 wood structures up there that definitely looks like they they 1748 01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:50.760 probably did it. But then also by the forest by 1749 01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:54.159 my house, I have found tree manipulations and I haven't 1750 01:22:54.239 --> 01:22:58.159 felt anything or seen any anything. I haven't even felt them. 1751 01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:00.720 But I found these trees. This one tree had been 1752 01:23:00.840 --> 01:23:05.760 bent and then it went horizontal for at least maybe 1753 01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:08.680 forty feet, and then it was wedged in another tree, 1754 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.279 and I determined, you'd have to pull that other tree back, 1755 01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:13.960 put the top of that tree in there, and then 1756 01:23:14.119 --> 01:23:16.600 let it go so it locks it in and it 1757 01:23:16.800 --> 01:23:20.319 made a cross like when it crossed, it made a 1758 01:23:20.399 --> 01:23:22.760 perfect cross, and so I thought, wow, that's like a 1759 01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:26.079 perfect cross. This looks like it was manipulated. I study 1760 01:23:26.159 --> 01:23:30.439 tree stuff, and quite often the snow can make trees fall, fall, fall, 1761 01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:33.119 and then they can lock sometimes like that. So I'm 1762 01:23:33.159 --> 01:23:36.520 trying to use my own discretion, like is this natural? 1763 01:23:37.079 --> 01:23:39.760 Was this manipulated? I'm trying to feel that out. And 1764 01:23:39.880 --> 01:23:42.359 then the next time I went, there was another one, 1765 01:23:42.439 --> 01:23:46.119 but smaller, and I've taken video of these, and it 1766 01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:48.399 was a smaller one, but it made a cross. And 1767 01:23:48.479 --> 01:23:51.199 they used a big giant piece of wood, like a 1768 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:54.479 big giant old part of a tree to hold down 1769 01:23:54.520 --> 01:23:56.560 the top of the tree so it would bend. So 1770 01:23:56.680 --> 01:23:59.720 that the results are you have a cross because there's 1771 01:23:59.720 --> 01:24:03.359 another tree behind it, so it's that's upright, so it 1772 01:24:03.439 --> 01:24:05.960 looks like a cross. And then I went again and 1773 01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:07.800 I found another one. It was a bit sloppy. But 1774 01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:11.359 then I found a spider web out of twigs, like 1775 01:24:11.520 --> 01:24:13.479 it was constructed, and it was kind of made to 1776 01:24:13.520 --> 01:24:15.880 look like kind of like a sloppy spider web. That's 1777 01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:18.159 what it reminded me of. I found all kinds of 1778 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:22.279 twigs and things being bunched into the center of trees, 1779 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:25.279 like things that this is a farmer's wood lot in 1780 01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:27.680 the middle of his farm fields. Nobody ever goes into them, 1781 01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:30.520 but I've been finding these, and now there's a corn crop, 1782 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:32.279 so I don't. I don't walk through the farmer's crop 1783 01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:34.079 to get to this wood so I don't. I only 1784 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:36.159 visit usually in the winter when I can. I'm not 1785 01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:38.960 going to disturb his crops or after he cuts his crops. 1786 01:24:39.479 --> 01:24:41.840 So once he cuts the corn down that's out beside 1787 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.399 my house, now I'll venture off to see what's going on. 1788 01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:50.720 But I realized, like my vibration probably dropped from doing 1789 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:54.640 a toxic job and you know, worldly events, all these things. 1790 01:24:54.760 --> 01:24:57.239 I think my vibration lowered, and so maybe perhaps I 1791 01:24:57.359 --> 01:25:02.680 wasn't as open and accessible or as sensitive, and so 1792 01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.319 I think I've been raising it up. I've been doing 1793 01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:07.560 a lot of work. I mean, I taught chigung for 1794 01:25:07.640 --> 01:25:10.239 a while, I and kung fu, and I've been practicing 1795 01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:14.159 keigung and tree communions all the time. And the trees 1796 01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:17.279 are what I found. Is there like antennas or telephone, 1797 01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:20.039 you can use trees to communicate. Like in America, a 1798 01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:23.039 lot of people carry guns because there's other dangerous humans 1799 01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:26.439 in the woods. And I think sasquats can't stand guns. 1800 01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:28.920 So if you are walking into the woods and you 1801 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:31.279 feel you want to carry, the best thing you could 1802 01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:33.239 do is put your hand on a tree or just 1803 01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:36.159 send your intentions. But I think using a tree is best. 1804 01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:39.319 And say, I'm a peaceful person coming into your woods 1805 01:25:40.399 --> 01:25:43.119 and I'm carrying a gun in case I run into 1806 01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:46.479 you know, crazy terrible humans that want to kill me. 1807 01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:49.640 For my own protection. I have no intention of killing anything. 1808 01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:52.840 I just need this for my own protection. Maybe the 1809 01:25:52.920 --> 01:25:56.119 sasquats will determine. Okay, all right, Okay, we know why 1810 01:25:56.159 --> 01:25:58.039 it's carrying a gun. That makes sense. There are bad 1811 01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:00.800 humans and they might do a tree knock, and they 1812 01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:02.279 might give you some actions, and they might say, oh 1813 01:26:02.319 --> 01:26:03.520 to hell with you. We don't wanly be around. You 1814 01:26:03.600 --> 01:26:05.920 got a gun. So it's just that I know that 1815 01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:08.199 a lot of people that go searching for them out 1816 01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:11.840 in the wilderness they carry and that will probably thwart 1817 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:14.439 you from having an experience unless you want to put 1818 01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.239 that communication out if you're open to it. You know 1819 01:26:17.439 --> 01:26:20.399 like they are telepathic, So if you keep that in mind, 1820 01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:23.199 I think your good intention thoughts to them that you 1821 01:26:23.359 --> 01:26:27.159 do want to connect with them, and they often know 1822 01:26:27.640 --> 01:26:30.560 that person's not ready to connect with me. Les Stroud's 1823 01:26:30.600 --> 01:26:33.359 survivor man. He said that one of them talked in 1824 01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:36.199 his head. I think it was down in Tennessee and 1825 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:38.680 they said, we're just a few more ridges over if 1826 01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:40.880 you want to meet us, and he said he wasn't ready. 1827 01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:42.600 He said, I'm not ready for this. I mean i'd 1828 01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:45.680 be like I'm there, but he's not ready. He's living 1829 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:49.800 up in Timiscamine, up in northern Ontario where there's Sasquatch. 1830 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:52.880 There's a guy named Ian Patterson, no relationship to me, 1831 01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:56.039 who's been interacting with the family of them in North 1832 01:26:56.119 --> 01:26:59.600 Bay for over ten years. He's had black helicopters follow him. 1833 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:02.319 He's had a lot, he's had them, yet they've yelled 1834 01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:06.239 out his name, and they've done all kinds of paranormal 1835 01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:10.239 things with him. So they are up in northern Ontario. 1836 01:27:10.439 --> 01:27:12.159 I used to go to North Bay for a trucking 1837 01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:14.520 route and I would feel them up there, and I 1838 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:18.079 started to do like set up an exchange with them, 1839 01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:21.359 hanging crystals on this fence, leaving apples. But then where 1840 01:27:21.399 --> 01:27:25.079 I was going for my job, they stopped, so I 1841 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:27.680 couldn't investigate that area because I felt they were in 1842 01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:30.000 a marsh and a bit of a lake behind this 1843 01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:34.600 industrial area. And so they're definitely up there because I 1844 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:36.600 could feel them when I was driving every night back 1845 01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:39.000 and forth to North Bay in a transport truck, I 1846 01:27:39.079 --> 01:27:43.000 could feel them sometimes. And one amazing encounter I had 1847 01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:44.920 coming back from the North Bay, I saw a sprite 1848 01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:49.760 she it was a glowing white object came zooming out 1849 01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:51.479 of the woods. It was already white in the woods, 1850 01:27:51.479 --> 01:27:54.800 so my headlights weren't hitting it. It zoomed out, hovered 1851 01:27:54.840 --> 01:27:56.760 over the road, and then it did a dupy do 1852 01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:58.520 to the left and up and then to the right, 1853 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:01.319 and it was purposely flying towards me, and I'm like, 1854 01:28:01.479 --> 01:28:04.039 what that That's not a bird, That's not a moth 1855 01:28:04.119 --> 01:28:06.760 that's too big for a moth. It was white glowing. 1856 01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:09.479 It had its own white luminescence, and it had a 1857 01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:12.039 small body, not like a bird. And it flew right 1858 01:28:12.119 --> 01:28:14.239 at me, up and then down to the right and 1859 01:28:14.399 --> 01:28:16.039 up and then down to the left and up, and 1860 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:17.920 then it went under my truck on purpose. And I 1861 01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:19.760 looked in my mirror and I saw a streak go 1862 01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:22.079 back to the woods in my mirror, and I'm like, 1863 01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:25.439 I just saw a tinkerbell. I just saw like a spite. 1864 01:28:26.039 --> 01:28:28.479 So up in those areas, you get a lot of 1865 01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:32.039 these elementals, you know, And I think it's if you 1866 01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:34.520 go into a sasquatch area, you're also going into an 1867 01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:38.039 area where there are other elementals, and they may be 1868 01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:41.079 taking on the form of an animal, like a mouse. 1869 01:28:41.279 --> 01:28:43.840 I've had a mouse just hop up on my knee 1870 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:46.520 at Widgeon Creek, grab a cranberry off the ground and 1871 01:28:46.680 --> 01:28:48.640 eat it, and people like, is that your mouse. I'm like, 1872 01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:52.079 I've never seen this mouse before. And so the chief 1873 01:28:52.119 --> 01:28:56.319 said that might be an elemental acting as posing as 1874 01:28:56.359 --> 01:28:59.600 a mouse. And so you know, if you have these encounters, 1875 01:28:59.800 --> 01:29:01.760 you you don't know what kind of creatures, I mean, 1876 01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:04.920 dog men, are talked about, and I don't know much 1877 01:29:04.920 --> 01:29:08.079 about them, but I think that there are times where 1878 01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.600 sasquatch will chase people out of areas where dog men are. 1879 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:16.279 And so I don't know much about dogmen, but certainly 1880 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:19.920 sasquatch do go into areas I think where there are energy, 1881 01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:23.239 natural energy vortecs of the planet, and maybe that they're 1882 01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:25.079 drawn to them. Maybe they have to guard them as 1883 01:29:25.119 --> 01:29:28.000 things come through. There's maybe all kinds of reasons why 1884 01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:31.319 they would be around them, dimensional portals that they can 1885 01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:37.000 travel through. Perhaps I can only speculate, right, But yeah, 1886 01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:40.640 so all right, John, I don't know what's out there. 1887 01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:45.760 Yeah, absolutely a lot of information to take in all 1888 01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:49.920 at once, but I definitely believe. Yeah, these experiences and 1889 01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:53.720 the sasquatch are totally in Canada. That sounds like a 1890 01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:56.720 great area to experience them. But yeah, just definitely be 1891 01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:59.800 careful when you're out there, because it's hard to say 1892 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:02.760 that they truly are capable of and like you said, 1893 01:30:02.840 --> 01:30:07.000 there's mixed experiences out there, whether they're good and bad, 1894 01:30:07.239 --> 01:30:09.960 and I think it's best to just be cautious when 1895 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:12.640 you're out there because you never know what you're going 1896 01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:13.319 to run into. 1897 01:30:15.119 --> 01:30:17.920 Well, I think I'm more afraid of crazy humans in 1898 01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:20.640 the woods. I'm definitely not afraid of them. I know 1899 01:30:20.880 --> 01:30:23.199 I'm not. I mean, there's a grumpy white Sasquatch at 1900 01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:26.600 Sasquatch Lake and BC and in the sixties, one hundred 1901 01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:28.680 pickup trucks went up there to hunt and shoot him, 1902 01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:30.479 and he was poking them in the back while I 1903 01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:32.119 was invisible, and they were hopping in their trucks and 1904 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.720 taking off. But he's a grumpy guy, and he thinks 1905 01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:38.399 he talked to sun Bow, and he was insulting sun 1906 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:39.680 Bow and he's like, you guys are a bunch of 1907 01:30:39.760 --> 01:30:43.479 stupid apes, stupid monkeys, and but he was. He was 1908 01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:45.880 he had a dark sense of humor, and so he 1909 01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:48.319 might be considered he's in the very old one, and 1910 01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:50.800 he might be considered a little grumpy. But I have 1911 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:52.680 no fear of them. I mean, I don't feel I 1912 01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:55.840 have to be careful of psychotic humans. That's more of 1913 01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:58.880 my concern because you can run into some pretty bad 1914 01:30:59.000 --> 01:31:02.159 people in the North. They're in woods too, homeless guys 1915 01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:04.800 that go off and decide to be reclose and and 1916 01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:07.520 they're a bit off, you know. That's what I'm more 1917 01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:10.159 concerned about I, Like I said, like I hiked up 1918 01:31:10.199 --> 01:31:12.720 to the top of the mountain at Shoe Swap. I 1919 01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:15.960 would not do that normally, but because of the Sasquats 1920 01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:18.760 were there, I felt totally safe and comfortable. So no, 1921 01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:23.079 I mean, these these ideas that they're they're terrors or monsters, 1922 01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:25.880 I can't accept that at all. No, because when you 1923 01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:28.119 encounter them as much as I have, you realize they're 1924 01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:33.319 beautiful people and they're mysterious. And they even admitted to 1925 01:31:33.439 --> 01:31:36.079 Sun Goo, Yeah, we were like humans, we have a 1926 01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:39.640 diversified you know, we're all connected to a lot pathetically. 1927 01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:41.960 But there are some that might be a little bit 1928 01:31:42.399 --> 01:31:45.720 bullying humans sometimes because they just they feel like, you know, 1929 01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:48.880 they they have that ability. They can just have fun, 1930 01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:51.960 like let's let's go scare some people, you know, like 1931 01:31:52.359 --> 01:31:55.159 humans do that, Like let's let's go freak some people out. 1932 01:31:55.279 --> 01:31:58.119 So yeah, I guess, but I really don't think they 1933 01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:03.279 would intentionally harm anybody. They've they've witnessed people murdering girls 1934 01:32:03.359 --> 01:32:06.239 in the forest and they don't intervene. They think that's 1935 01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:08.920 that's human stuff. We don't intervene with that. But they 1936 01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:13.680 have protected and helped some people. So yeah, I I 1937 01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:15.560 if I'm going to be careful boy out of the 1938 01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:19.199 woods out west, it's grizzlies, you know. I had a 1939 01:32:19.239 --> 01:32:21.840 grizzly charge me in my group and that was scary, 1940 01:32:22.399 --> 01:32:24.199 and he was already known to be a menace and 1941 01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:28.239 a bad guy, and that that's what I'm terrified about, 1942 01:32:28.520 --> 01:32:32.199 is something like that. But no, I have no fear 1943 01:32:32.239 --> 01:32:35.000 of them. And I guess I could have fear of 1944 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:38.520 of one that might not be one that's an abomination, 1945 01:32:38.760 --> 01:32:41.239 But for the most part, no, I don't. I don't 1946 01:32:41.279 --> 01:32:44.000 think they're to be feared. I think people will fear 1947 01:32:44.079 --> 01:32:49.079 the unknown and fear like something that's happening that's invisible 1948 01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:52.439 around them. That's that can be scary. But I guess 1949 01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:54.359 I'm more of a curious mind than more of a 1950 01:32:55.399 --> 01:32:58.239 you know, of a fearful mind. And so I mean, 1951 01:32:58.279 --> 01:33:00.479 I've always been a pretty good athlete. I've always been 1952 01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:03.319 able to handle myself well. So I just I guess 1953 01:33:03.399 --> 01:33:05.840 I have more of an instinct of I'd rather know 1954 01:33:05.920 --> 01:33:08.439 what this is as opposed to running away from it, 1955 01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:11.680 you know. But they can shock you and bolt cause 1956 01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:15.279 you to bolt and run, you know, so that's not 1957 01:33:15.560 --> 01:33:19.119 necessarily under the grounds of being terrified by them. It's 1958 01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:23.560 just the element of surprise and shock sometimes. So I 1959 01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:25.960 don't know. I've been down in Florida. The skunk capes 1960 01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:28.920 are aggressive, you know, they're a different type of saucequatch, 1961 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:32.479 and so yeah, I think if you're going down in 1962 01:33:32.560 --> 01:33:34.800 those areas, you might want to be a bit careful. 1963 01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:37.279 And then of course there's other cryptids and in the 1964 01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:40.560 swamp lands down there that I hear about, like reptilian 1965 01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:43.159 type of things, and yeah, I would be very nervous 1966 01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:45.800 about that. But if I knew sacequatch were around, I 1967 01:33:45.840 --> 01:33:51.279 think i'd feel safe because yeah, I just think they're Yeah, 1968 01:33:51.640 --> 01:33:53.800 I think they would look after me as opposed to 1969 01:33:53.920 --> 01:33:56.880 do anything bad. But what about you, You have you 1970 01:33:57.039 --> 01:33:59.760 had your any negative encounters for yourself. 1971 01:34:00.840 --> 01:34:04.000 I'm just been screamed up, bluff charged and followed out 1972 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:08.960 of the woods, but nothing that indicates that they were 1973 01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:11.279 trying to get me. But I mean there are other 1974 01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:16.159 stories around the Midwest here where I live, where people 1975 01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:19.119 have been chased out of the woods or you know, 1976 01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:20.560 did have these terrifying you. 1977 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:23.039 Know, where the dynamics. Maybe they were carrying a gun, 1978 01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:25.600 like if they were carrying a gun, then yeah, I 1979 01:34:25.680 --> 01:34:29.039 can see that happening. A lot of people do carry 1980 01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:32.560 down there, right, So uh, that's why I recommend if 1981 01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:34.399 you are carrying and you want to go out looking 1982 01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:36.920 for them, set the intentions to the forest that you 1983 01:34:37.000 --> 01:34:39.079 don't want to use your gun for anything unless you 1984 01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:42.439 encounter a crazy human, because the Slavs squats couldn't relate 1985 01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:44.840 with that. They know there's crazy humans that will kill 1986 01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:47.800 other humans, and they could understand why you would want 1987 01:34:47.840 --> 01:34:50.680 to bring a gun for that purpose. But but clarify that. 1988 01:34:51.560 --> 01:34:53.439 But you know, I think if they're not carrying and 1989 01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:55.880 they still get chased, it could because there's something else 1990 01:34:55.960 --> 01:34:59.479 that's dangerous. You know that they could see that if 1991 01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:02.359 that human goes into that area, it's dangerous. Maybe there's 1992 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:05.359 an energy portal that can hurt their health. Maybe there's 1993 01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:08.199 something that the Sasquash know that you don't know and 1994 01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:09.880 so they want to scare you out. Maybe they have 1995 01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:11.600 a family and they have babies and they just don't 1996 01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:14.239 want anybody in their space. So it could be a 1997 01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:18.560 multitude of things. But yeah, be careful going out into 1998 01:35:18.560 --> 01:35:20.840 the woods for crazy humans. I mean down on the 1999 01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:23.960 Appalachian Trail, there is that psycho that was going after 2000 01:35:24.079 --> 01:35:26.880 hikers and he eventually murdered a few people. That's the 2001 01:35:26.960 --> 01:35:29.399 type of scariness. That's the type of terror that I 2002 01:35:29.399 --> 01:35:34.399 would think is probably more dangerous. So yeah, well, I 2003 01:35:34.520 --> 01:35:38.640 really appreciate you letting me share my stories, and you know, 2004 01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:41.479 if people can do what they want with this information. 2005 01:35:42.079 --> 01:35:46.520 I am speaking from the heart and it did happen, 2006 01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:48.960 and I don't mind talking about it now, and I 2007 01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:52.920 will be going back to Christie Lake soon and going 2008 01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:54.159 to do some more exploring. 2009 01:35:55.279 --> 01:35:57.279 All right, it sounds good, and you'd be careful when 2010 01:35:57.319 --> 01:35:59.399 you're out there. If you encounter anything else in the future, 2011 01:35:59.479 --> 01:36:01.600 feel free to reach out. And I appreciate you for 2012 01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:04.720 taking the time to log down your experiences here on 2013 01:36:04.800 --> 01:36:08.479 the channel. I want to thank John for coming back 2014 01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:13.399 on sasquatch theory and continuing to share his experiences. What 2015 01:36:13.600 --> 01:36:17.520 makes John's story especially interesting is that many of these 2016 01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:22.920 incidents didn't happen in complete isolation. Over the years, he 2017 01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:26.399 met other people who described their own strange encounters, and 2018 01:36:26.880 --> 01:36:30.279 some of those reports came from the same areas where 2019 01:36:30.359 --> 01:36:36.600 John had experienced unusual activity himself. From the terrified park 2020 01:36:36.680 --> 01:36:39.960 worker who believed something large was following him through the 2021 01:36:40.079 --> 01:36:43.720 forest to the whistles and vocalizations coming from the woods. 2022 01:36:44.199 --> 01:36:48.920 John's experiences raised plenty of questions. And then there are 2023 01:36:49.039 --> 01:36:52.840 the stranger elements of his story, the sensation of being 2024 01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:57.319 pursued by something he couldn't see, missing time, and his 2025 01:36:57.520 --> 01:37:01.960 claim that he somehow found a self transported to another location. 2026 01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:08.760 Those certainly are extraordinary claims, and ultimately I wasn't there 2027 01:37:08.840 --> 01:37:12.399 to witness what happened. My goal with sasquatch theory is 2028 01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:14.680 to give people a place to tell their stories and 2029 01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:19.079 their own words, and allow you, the audience, to decide 2030 01:37:19.359 --> 01:37:23.479 what you think. Now, if I had to pick on John, 2031 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:28.039 I would disagree that these creatures are friendly, and I 2032 01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:31.359 do believe they are dangerous. Anything can be dangerous out 2033 01:37:31.399 --> 01:37:34.560 in the wilderness. Even beavers have been known to kill people. 2034 01:37:34.640 --> 01:37:37.600 If they bite you in a main artery, you could 2035 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:40.479 bleed to death. Deer jump out in front of people's 2036 01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:43.279 vehicles all the time, and people lose their lives just 2037 01:37:43.359 --> 01:37:47.000 because of deer. So a creature that's ten foot tall, 2038 01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:50.119 one thousand pounds that can rip full sized trees out 2039 01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:53.680 of the ground and deroot them, I would say they 2040 01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:56.399 are potentially dangerous, and I would listen to what the 2041 01:37:56.520 --> 01:38:01.520 Native Americans said about sasquatch that they will eat people. Now, 2042 01:38:01.760 --> 01:38:04.920 are their friendly Sasquatch? Absolutely, I believe a lot of 2043 01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:07.720 the juveniles and females can be friendly, but if you 2044 01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:11.960 come across male things could get very dangerous quickly. So 2045 01:38:12.560 --> 01:38:14.880 just keep that in mind. And this isn't to put 2046 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:18.039 John down, but I don't want to educate people on 2047 01:38:18.119 --> 01:38:20.920 my channel and say that they're all friendly beings. So 2048 01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:24.439 definitely go out there and be cautious, because we don't 2049 01:38:24.560 --> 01:38:29.720 know enough about sasquatch to truly say that people who 2050 01:38:29.800 --> 01:38:33.600 say they are dangerous are just lying. My goal with 2051 01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:37.119 that statement is not to put John down or dismiss 2052 01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:40.479 his theories about the Sasquatch, but I do believe it's 2053 01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:42.920 best to be cautious when you're out there in the 2054 01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:46.680 woods because the Native Americans did warn us that they 2055 01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:50.520 will steal women and children and they will possibly eat you, 2056 01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:53.800 so keep that in mind. And also there were people 2057 01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:56.560 that said the same things about grizzly bears that ended 2058 01:38:56.640 --> 01:39:00.520 up getting eaten, So yeah, it's always best to be 2059 01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:04.239 safe than to be sorry. Anyways, I appreciate everyone for 2060 01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:06.479 listening today. If you have a bigfoot encounter that you 2061 01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:09.439 would like to report here on Sasquatch Theory, feel free 2062 01:39:09.479 --> 01:39:13.079 to reach out sometime at Sasquatch Theory at outlook dot com. 2063 01:39:13.439 --> 01:39:16.680 With all that being said, you guys be safe out 2064 01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:17.399 in the wilderness,
