1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Now one of your pudding. I got a string going

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on here, something just because my dog. Something killed your dog.

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>My dog. We're flying through the air over the tree.

4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the fence and he was dead. And once you hit

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I

8
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>saw was my dog coming over the fence. Happen? What

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>are you putting? We got some wonder or something prowling

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>around out here? Did you see what it was? Or

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>was it was? Standing up? I'm out here looking through

12
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the window now and I don't see anything. I don't

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>want to go outside. Jesus quice, you better, hello, het,

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>somebody out here?

15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>What went on out there?

16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought of a bit of about sixty forty nine.

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you see him out there? Yeah, I'm

18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>bulking right away.

19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh hey, greeting Sanks for joining me today. What I

20
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>wanted to share it to you comes from We'll name

21
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>him Bruce. Bruce and his brother will name him David.

22
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>So Bruce and David they were at their grandfather's cabin. Now,

23
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>this particular cabin is on the new sek rif back home.

24
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>We'll leave it at that. This happened about twenty five

25
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Bruce and David were doing some repairs at

26
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 2>this cabin after their uplet passed away. Over the course

27
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>of this summer, the first few trips they were bringing

28
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>some materials, wood materials and stuff, just fixing, patching things up.

29
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>There's a hole in the roof. It was not taking

30
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>care of in a while, so it was a little disheveled.

31
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Little TLC needed nothing two majors. So over the course

32
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 2>of the summer they took a break for the salmon season.

33
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the salmon season, they wanted to

34
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>hunt from that cabin like they grew up doing. So

35
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 2>they figured, we'll go up there early prior to hunting

36
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get everything situated. So they end up bringing

37
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a new woodburning stove up. The other one just rusted down,

38
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>just used up, just stuff like that, and they were

39
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>using fifty five gallon drum like they would in the

40
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>steam bath. So they get all this done. They were

41
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 2>just getting settled in. It was still a week out

42
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>before the hunting season started, so what they were doing

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>is getting up real early peruising. It just going up

44
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and down the river and checking out some spots he were,

45
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and maybe they would want to pick a spot hopefully

46
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>loose around that type of thing, just scout in the

47
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 2>area basically, And this one particular morning they get up

48
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>to do that, and again it was about a week

49
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>out from hunting, he said. David was running the skiffs

50
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>and they went up to where Jim slout, which is

51
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>up above Portage on the Nushiach there. So they go

52
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>up there, they do the anchor and was sitting there

53
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>just relaxing really as they were discussing the years past

54
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>of hunting and all that kind of stuff, they hear

55
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>this what Bruce described as this wallowing who was like

56
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>a moaning kind of not necessarily a scream, but like

57
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>just this real loud pronounced something sorrowful, something very painful

58
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 2>sounding like something large was in emotional pain. Freaked him

59
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>out because mouse don't do that, and bear sure as

60
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>hell no. So they pulled the anchor and were drifting

61
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>away across the river from Jim slu there, which I've

62
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>been in that area. The crazy shit happens around there.

63
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, as they were drifting, they were looking across

64
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the river because the sound sounded like it was coming

65
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 2>from that side, and the cabin of their grandpa's is

66
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>on that side of the river as well. They were like,

67
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>what the hell is that. They powered up, went across,

68
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and then we're drifting down on the opposite bank and

69
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>listening for this sound. At the time. Of course they've

70
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>heard of the Harryman and stuff like that, these some

71
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>at the Baskins, but it wasn't anything that was in

72
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 2>their wheelhouse as far as these noises. So they pulled

73
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>up to the river bank just a little bit down

74
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>from Jim's sluice side. They stuck the anchor in the

75
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>ground or just sitting there listening trying to figure out

76
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>what it was. Bruce said he was holding his rifle.

77
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>David jumped up onto the bank and was just looking around,

78
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and Bruce said, don't go too far. I don't want

79
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>to have to come find you that kind of thing,

80
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>And David just shined him on. Whatever. He walks off

81
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>out of sight from the river bank from Bruce's perspective,

82
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, he said, it wasn't even

83
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>two minutes. He yelled, hey, what's going on? He heard

84
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>the thrashing off in the distance. And here comes David

85
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>sliding off the river bank. He fell into the water

86
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>just in front of the skiff and then jumped up

87
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and pulled himself up over the bow on the line

88
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>right he's pulling and getting the anchor. He was like, oh, go.

89
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>So Bruce fires up to motor. He has to push

90
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>off because the way the water is pushing him. He's

91
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>got the outboard running, but it's not in gear. He

92
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>pushed the outboard back into the muddy bank there, so

93
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>he pushes off and then they get turned around. They're

94
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>facing down river. Bruce gives us some gas and they

95
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 2>get up on the step and David is down low

96
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>in the skiff and he's got his gun out of

97
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>his gun bag. He keeps looking back past Bruce and

98
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Bruce just everyone's well started. He's like, hey, what's going on?

99
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? David's is the goal, so he keeps going.

100
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>They got a little bit of a distance before they

101
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>get to the cabin we come up on. It's basically

102
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of little islands that were created by the

103
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>ice when it comes and goes in the spring. They

104
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 2>stop at the first one they come up to, which

105
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>is real thick wood brush that time of year, all

106
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>around it. They pull off in there because David's like,

107
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I got to use the bathroom bad. So he goes,

108
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>gets up onto the bank there on this little island

109
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>and walks back a little ways and Bruce here is

110
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>David throwing up. He's like, hey, what's going on? And

111
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>he goes, you didn't see it. He finishes what he

112
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>was doing, comes back to the skiff. You didn't see it.

113
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Bruce is like, see what I heard some thrashing, But

114
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>all I saw was you slide off the river bank

115
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 2>the water, jump back into the freaking skiff loose. All

116
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>happened so fast. He goes there was a harry Man

117
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>back there. He was like harry Man. He goes, what

118
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>was it doing? David said, I don't know, but it

119
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>started coming towards me so I could freak me out

120
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>and I ran. He was like, okay, we're good. He

121
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>looks back up river and doesn't see anything. So they

122
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>continue on their way. They go back to the cabin.

123
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 2>All this happened before noon because they left early. They

124
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 2>went up, they scouted around a little bit and they

125
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 2>just happened to just drop anchor it. Jim slew there

126
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>from what Bruce said, when they got back to the cabins,

127
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>everything felt weird. The energy felt really weird. There was

128
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>some relatives of his little further down around the bend

129
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 2>a little ways. They had a cabin there. He heard activity,

130
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>so Bruce decided, Hey, I'm going to go and say

131
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>hi to the relatives. And Day was like, yeah, just

132
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>don't be gone too long. So Bruce leaves in the

133
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>skiff and goes down river a little ways to go

134
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>visit with the relatives. There was a cousin that had

135
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 2>showed up to get their cabin ready for moose hunting,

136
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>and so he talked to him a little bit. Bruce said,

137
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>as he was talking to his cousin, probably about twenty

138
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>minutes half hour, so all of a sudden he hears

139
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>gunshots coming back from up with their cabin. It was

140
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>a holy shit. So he takes off and his cousin

141
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>follows him. He jumps off, he ties off and everything.

142
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>He hears yelling inside the cabin and he's like, hey,

143
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>David is Bruce. I'm out here. Don't choose we're out here.

144
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>He said. It was on the roof, is on the roof,

145
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and so they're looking around and they're like trying to

146
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>figure out what. The cousin goes around one side and

147
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Bruce goes along the riverbank side to cut around that backside.

148
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 2>He said, when he came around the corner, he saw

149
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 2>something dark moving off into the brush right because the

150
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>trees came almost right up to the cabin at that point.

151
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>The cousin saw this thing moving off and saw it

152
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>swaying an arm. It had brownish reddish brown hair. It

153
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 2>was just moving away. He saw its arms sway. He

154
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a good look at the face, but he

155
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 2>could see the figure of it was humanoid. Cousin comes

156
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>back yelling, hey, it's here, you man. Let's get out

157
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>of here. David inside, he comes out out because there's

158
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>two more people now. He's yeah, let's go. Bruce is

159
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 2>a wait a minute. You know, let's not just run

160
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>off here. This is our cabin kind of thing. And

161
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>David wanted no part of it. He didn't want to stay.

162
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>The cousin was like, hey, I don't want that thing

163
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>following me back to my cabin and start in trouble there.

164
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to leave. You guys, be careful. I would

165
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>leave too if I was you guys, and he jumped

166
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>in his hip and he went back to kinish doing

167
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>what he was doing down river. So Bruce is telling David, hey,

168
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>let's just hold our ground. Did you shoot it? And

169
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 2>David said no, I was just shooting to try to

170
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 2>scare it off, and goes, okay, if you didn't shoot it,

171
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>so it really has no reason to be mad at us.

172
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep calm, let's not overreact because in essence, they

173
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>live there, that's their place. Now, Bruce wasn't willing to

174
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>just give it up like that, which should I understand,

175
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I say shoot them off. That's just my own personal views.

176
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>So David calms down. They relax a little bit. They

177
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>had some vodka with them, so they had some mixed

178
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>drinks and whatnot, and they relaxed, and Bruce was just

179
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 2>livening up the energy from being so dreary and David

180
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>so paranoid about talking about old funny stuff they had

181
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed right there where they were, and pointing out, hey,

182
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.679
<v Speaker 2>we never had issues here. Let's not make this what

183
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.519
<v Speaker 2>it's about, because remember all the times was uppud and

184
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>all this and that winter caribou hunt. They'd parked their

185
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>snow machines there and it was just a base cap

186
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>with tons of family memories. So they just enjoyed themselves

187
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>drinking that hunter Proof Smirnoff, been there, done that. It

188
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 2>gets on into dusk, they decide they're going to bring

189
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>in some more firewood from outside because it's starting to

190
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>drizzle and starting to rain. It got socked in. It

191
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>was getting a little chilly, especially on the river Man

192
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>it gets chilly. So they go out and they're bringing

193
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 2>in from the little more of a lane to Arctic entry.

194
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't fully enclosed, but they were bringing in firewood

195
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>from there, and they brought in good stack just so

196
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they had some extra for the next day if it

197
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>was real cold. The next morning, they left the door

198
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>kicked open just a little bit to let fresh air

199
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 2>in because David and Bruce were basically chain smoking while

200
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 2>they were drinking. They had their firearms nearby. From what

201
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Bruce was saying, it was all like the energy was

202
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>much better. It wasn't as heavy. They were joking, chopping

203
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.399
<v Speaker 2>it up, having a good time, talking about the old

204
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>days and relatives that had since passed, but to good

205
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>times they had with them and stuff like that, and

206
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.559
<v Speaker 2>burry picking in the area and just all sorts of stuff.

207
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 2>And they were in the midst of this conversation when

208
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, that door wings open hard, just

209
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>damn so hard. It almost popped off with the hinges

210
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. There was no wind. They immediately jump up.

211
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 2>They each grabbed their guns. Again, this is just getting

212
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>into dark, not fully dark yet, right in the fall,

213
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>So they grabbed the flashlights they had. They were modern

214
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>for the time, They work decent enough, and they go

215
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>out and they're looking and they're looking on the ground

216
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 2>for tracks, and there wasn't done. They're both looking around

217
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 2>the corner to the tree side and then around the

218
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 2>corner to the river bank side, and they're not seeing anything.

219
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 2>And so they walk straight away from the cabin a

220
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>little ways together, turn around and face back towards the

221
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>cabin to make sure it's not back up on the roof,

222
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>because David had heard it on the roof earlier. That's

223
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 2>what got him shooting. Bruce said that when they were

224
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>looking back, they noticed eye shine like towards the farther

225
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 2>the backside of the cabin from where they were standing,

226
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>and they noticed the eye shine duck down once the

227
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>light hit right the eye shine went away, and so

228
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>they decided they're going to take that tree side walk

229
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>along the cabin back towards that direction, keep an eye

230
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 2>out on this thing or look for it, and potentially,

231
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 2>if opportunity, maybe to shoot the damn thing. He said.

232
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>As they were going along, David was about two paces

233
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 2>behind him, just steady, keeping his rifle up and glancing

234
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>back and forth. And Rius was like, hey, don't get

235
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>excited and accidentally shoot me. Damn it. He's no, I'm

236
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>keeping my rifle up. You keep your straight I won't

237
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>let mine come down below. They're aiming at the roofline. Now,

238
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>this roof isn't overly high. It's about maybe six and

239
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>a half feet off the ground is the eave the

240
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 2>drip edge, And so as they're going along, they're not

241
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>that like far away from the drip edge. The drip

242
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>edge is like literally above their heads, maybe off a

243
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 2>put or two. They weren't quite far enough over to

244
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 2>look straight up at the angle of the roof right

245
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 2>because of the trees and everything. They didn't have that

246
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>open kind of they couldn't just take another step over

247
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>and easily be able to see up there. So they

248
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 2>go along and all of a sudden they hear a

249
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 2>noise and then they hear trees rustle crash, So they

250
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>immediately their attention goes there. As Bruce is pointing his

251
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>flashlight and rifles in that direction, they hear a growl

252
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>that startles them both. As soon as they heard the growl,

253
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Bruce said he passed David, who was already hauling ats

254
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>trying to get I don't mean to laugh. I giggled

255
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 2>with Bruce at this point, because when he brought it up,

256
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>he said that they both hit that front door at

257
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 2>the same time and stopped each other through stooges type

258
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>shit boom. They both fell down, jumped up, and then

259
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>went in. But just the visual of that was just funny.

260
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, so they shut the door, they put some

261
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff to barricade and whatnot. At that point they got

262
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>out the Coleman lanyards. Right up until then they were

263
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 2>using the ambient light coming in the window, which there's

264
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>no curtains on the windows. There was one on the

265
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 2>river bank side that was a good sized one that

266
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>had been basically put in by hand. It was an

267
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 2>old from the old school, one of the old schools

268
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>that used to be in downtown telling him that was

269
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>transformed or changed into the basically City Hall now. But

270
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 2>back in the day that window came from there. Right

271
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>they got the lanterns going and they're looking out that window.

272
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 2>There was also a smaller window that was about a

273
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>foot and a half square, just a smaller window. It

274
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>was a single pane, and it was between where the

275
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 2>woodstove was a short little bit of a counter. There

276
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>was an old stove like propane maybe that used to

277
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>be there that was no longer there, so it's like

278
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>a gap in the counter and then there's a board

279
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 2>across it just to extend the countertop. And it was

280
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.240
<v Speaker 2>just above that. There was no makeshift sink, and they

281
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 2>would take water in buckets and do it like that

282
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.960
<v Speaker 2>as far as dishes. They're keeping an eye on that

283
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>big window. They're not really thinking about this smaller one

284
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>because it's right behind them. They're on that side of

285
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the cabin with a little bit of distance between them

286
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and that big window. At the time, they didn't have

287
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 2>anything to cover it, so they basically, let's just keep

288
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 2>an eye on it. And they got the door off

289
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to their right and then the window in front of them,

290
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and they weren't thinking about this window like less than

291
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.440
<v Speaker 2>three feet behind them, right, So as they're sitting there,

292
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.279
<v Speaker 2>they're still enjoying drinks, but not enjoying them. It's more

293
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>like taking some shots to stop shaking because that growl.

294
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>They both been discussing it once they went back inside

295
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and everything they felt to reverberate through their bodies. They

296
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.879
<v Speaker 2>felt their insides jiggle. It's not a good feeling.

297
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more sasquat job to see what

298
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.159
<v Speaker 1>right back after the East messages.

299
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>So as they're sitting there discussing, hey, what do we

300
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>do if and they're getting a game plan on if

301
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>this happens, we'll do this. If this happens, we'll do that.

302
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>If it comes through the door at us, we'll jump

303
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>out the window. They're kind of just lining up a

304
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:25.720
<v Speaker 2>game plan because initially they wanted to leave in the skiff,

305
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>but in the dark it's so dangerous. They had lost

306
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>relatives previously to such things skiffing at the wrong time.

307
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>If they were weighing their options, should we just maybe

308
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 2>drifting down the ways to their cousins cabin because his

309
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.559
<v Speaker 2>cousins should be there. So they decided, you know what,

310
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>we should do that. We can just drift down. We

311
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.279
<v Speaker 2>know the channel enough to where once we see the

312
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>lights on in their cabin, we could just fire up.

313
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 2>And they know the river bank enough to know where

314
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>to pull up and not bottom out or anything like that.

315
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 2>So they decide that's what they're going to do, So

316
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>they gather up the stuff they're gonna need. Bruce craps

317
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 2>another box of AMMO, so did David. They were just

318
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>getting ready to start putting out the lanterns. They had

319
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>three of them going. They put out two, and they

320
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.679
<v Speaker 2>were going to keep one to use to see going

321
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 2>back down to the river bank. Just keep one for

322
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 2>going just because and use their flashlights. But before they

323
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 2>went out the door, as they were standing there facing

324
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that large window, and they just put out two of

325
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the lannards, all of a sudden that window behind them

326
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>shatters like startling the hell out of them. A piece

327
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 2>of birch, it had to have been, from what Bruce said,

328
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>at least fifteen feet long, comes pushing through, shatters and

329
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 2>push it through. It just goes right between them both

330
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 2>to where the little table they were drinking at. It

331
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 2>was hopped up on that and then it ran outside

332
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and it was dark outside already, so they couldn't see

333
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the end of it. But they both turned around and

334
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>the birches standing between them, and they're like, holy shit,

335
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 2>because it was so fast, it was so violent, how

336
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>quickly it went right between them both. So they didn't

337
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>know if this thing was trying to spear one of

338
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 2>them with it or whatever. They didn't know. And as

339
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 2>they're looking at her, like what the hell, they went

340
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to the opposite side of the table, looking back, shining

341
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 2>their flashlight out, and they saw a movement. Bruce took

342
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 2>a shot out the window that's now broken. He actually

343
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 2>hit the birch. It made an impact and kind of

344
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>splintered a little bit when it busted through or whatever,

345
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>and they start yelling, hey, get out of here, get

346
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:25.680
<v Speaker 2>out of here, and all of a sudden, that piece

347
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 2>of birch gets yanked back out, Bruce said, very violently.

348
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, the last about maybe four feet of it

349
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>was caught like it had been pulled out and then

350
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 2>turned before it had enough time to clear the window,

351
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and he caught about four feet of it and it

352
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>broke and then it flopped out the rest of the way.

353
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Bruce said. At that point We're getting the hell out

354
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 2>of here. They gathered their stuff. They condensed the stuff

355
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>into one bag. Bruce put that on little backpack style.

356
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 2>It was actually a small duffel bag. He just put

357
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 2>his arms through the loops the handles, makeshift backpack out

358
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>of that. David was making sure that he had his

359
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>magazine full for his rifle. David was using a two

360
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>seventy and Bruce had a three hundred wind meg. They

361
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>were making sure everyone was full up on ammal. Bruce

362
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>replaced around. He had shot into the birch, and David

363
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 2>just kept looking out that window and looking out that window.

364
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Bruce was like, hey, snap out of it. Let's get

365
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>to the skiff. We'll drift down. David was like, I'm

366
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 2>scared to go outside. Bruce totally understood why the growled.

367
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Then this fricking javelin basically comes crashing through and then

368
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>rip back out. He said, there was noises going on outside,

369
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.079
<v Speaker 2>but they were so terrified in the moment he couldn't

370
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>say exactly what they were. He said, he vaguely remembers

371
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.359
<v Speaker 2>some growling, but there's also other noises being made. Nothing

372
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>recrete that he could discern. In a moment David was like,

373
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 2>what if we fire our rifles, maybe our cousin will

374
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>come up here. Bruce is like, there's two of us,

375
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>there's one of him. That would be unfair to draw

376
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 2>him up into something. Maybe he could get hurt. Let's

377
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 2>just go to the skiff drift down. It was less

378
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>than a mile down river. So after discussing in a minute,

379
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 2>David said, okay, let me go first. You carry the lantern.

380
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll have my rifle with the flashlight ready and stuff,

381
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll go. So they start moving towards the door.

382
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.519
<v Speaker 2>They made sure a couple of things were tended to.

383
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>They turned down the woodstove because they had to wide

384
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>open because they had the door opened a little bit

385
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 2>up until this moments before. So as they're heading to

386
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the door, all of a sudden, bam, something hits against

387
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the door. It was more than three times, but he

388
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>couldn't say if it was like five because it happened

389
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.559
<v Speaker 2>in rapid succession, but it was very hard. It was

390
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>like something was trying to break in the door. So

391
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>they both were stuck in their tracks for a second,

392
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and then they both shot at the door at the

393
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 2>same time. They didn't say, hey, let's shoot. It was

394
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.839
<v Speaker 2>just independently boom boom. They make some shots through the

395
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.519
<v Speaker 2>door and it's just dead quiet. Bruce said. At that

396
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>point he could sense something was watching him, and so

397
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>he looks over to the big window off to his left,

398
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>a little bit behind him, over his shoulder. He couldn't

399
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>make out anything because the lantern that they had in

400
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 2>their hand was low. It was pretty much mirrord effect.

401
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't really see anything out of it. However, in

402
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>that mirror effect, he saw across the room something was

403
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 2>looking in the window, the small one that was broken out.

404
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Bruce said. He swung around and lifted his rifle looked

405
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 2>when David saw a move. David was the one at

406
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>that moment that had that lantern, even though Bruce was

407
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be carrying it or whatever. It was a

408
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>bang in that caused him to grab it and hold

409
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it up. He swings around and Bruce said, he's looking

410
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 2>at this thing looking back at him. As David's holding

411
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 2>up the lantern out that direction, Bruce was like, it

412
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 2>was looking right at me, so I was going to

413
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.599
<v Speaker 2>shoot it. He raised the rifle and clink kids shot

414
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 2>all his ammo on the jumble for David to set

415
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 2>down the lantern without kicking starting a fire or whatever,

416
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.799
<v Speaker 2>and then raise his rifle. The thing was gone. At

417
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.160
<v Speaker 2>this point, they're both freaking out and they decide okay.

418
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Bruce reloaded his rifle, David made sure his was ready

419
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 2>to go. Bruce takes the lannarn. David is going to

420
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.559
<v Speaker 2>go first, So David goes out and Bruce is right

421
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.680
<v Speaker 2>behind him, and Bruce has the lantern in his hand,

422
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 2>but he's also got the flashlight kind of holding both

423
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>at once, so he's holding the lantern like this, keeping

424
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>the brightness of the lantern out of his face while

425
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>shining the flashlight. He's got his rifle slung over his shoulder.

426
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>It's not a very thought out thing. While David is

427
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>freely moving with his flashlight, they don't see anything. They

428
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>back over to the river bank where the skiff is.

429
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 2>So at that point when they get to the riverbank,

430
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.440
<v Speaker 2>they're still facing the cabin, the back corner of it

431
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 2>on the riverbank side. This thing was leaning out peaky,

432
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 2>and it was real low, almost like it had squatted

433
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>down in with lenou and then it stopped doing that.

434
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Because they were both trying to figure out and get

435
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 2>a shot on this thing. David said, the next time

436
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>it leans out, I'm going to shoot the bastard. Bruce

437
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.720
<v Speaker 2>is like, I'll join you. He had set the lantern

438
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.920
<v Speaker 2>down and had his flashlight ready. They're not seeing anything now.

439
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Then all of a sudden, i believe, Bruce said, David

440
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 2>was moving his flashlight around. They caught a gleam of

441
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 2>eyeshine above the roofline, right on that back corner. So

442
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 2>they both raised their flashlights up a little higher and

443
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>sure enough to sing is looking over the roof and

444
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.920
<v Speaker 2>down at them. Bruce said they did not fire because

445
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 2>of how freaking big it was. He said, when it

446
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:31.240
<v Speaker 2>was peeking out and leaning out, it looked smaller, but

447
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>once it had stood up and they saw how fall

448
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 2>it was back behind there, he said it was at

449
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 2>least minimum ten feet tall. The flashlights they were using,

450
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>while they weren't super modern, and they were good and

451
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they worked. When he said that it had a like

452
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 2>a tanned leather kind of colored skin. At the distance,

453
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 2>which was like he said, about maybe forty feet ish

454
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in there. They couldn't make out really good the features,

455
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:01.920
<v Speaker 2>but the eyes just black, and when the light would

456
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 2>hit him it would glow with the red the hye shark.

457
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>He said it was freaky because it was pissed, it

458
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>was mad. It's facial expression, he said, was one of

459
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>severe anger, really ticked off. But he said, what was

460
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 2>weird is it showed its teeth at one point, but

461
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 2>it looked out of place. He said, the showing of

462
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 2>teeth was so vastly different from what you would envision.

463
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>It was like massive. He said. The showing of the

464
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>teeth was like it just didn't stop because of how

465
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 2>large the mouth was. And he said after it did

466
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>that and they snapped out of their like holy shit moment,

467
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 2>they picked up the lantern. They got down, they pulled

468
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 2>the anchor. They had some stuff that they had set

469
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 2>up over the years to tie off to, but with

470
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the anchor line wrapped around whatever like you would a clee. Anyway,

471
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>they untied that. They get in the skiff and they

472
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>drift away. They killed the lantern as they were drifting away.

473
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>David would turn on his flashlight every once in a

474
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>while as they were drifting, shut it off, and they

475
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.000
<v Speaker 2>were hearing stuff, so they would both flash light the

476
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>riverbank as they're drifting. Because they got roughly a mile.

477
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I was were moving fast enough. They weren't sitting still,

478
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's not like they were going down the rapids either.

479
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They kept hearing brushing stuff moving up on the river

480
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>bank next to him, and so periodically David would turn

481
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 2>on the flashlight and look, and they wouldn't see anything.

482
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.519
<v Speaker 2>They might see some movement in the brush. So they

483
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 2>both decide, let's shoot the next time we hear that

484
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>rustling to discourage this thing from following us. So the

485
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.680
<v Speaker 2>next time it did it, they both clicked on their

486
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>flashlights and shot at the same time. They didn't see

487
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 2>anything when they turned on the flashlight. It was just

488
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 2>the brush back off the river bank, moving And they

489
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 2>said they did that about two to three times and reloaded,

490
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:48.400
<v Speaker 2>made sure they were good to go. It finally went

491
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 2>quiet and they drifted. He's guessing probably all that when

492
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>they decided to fire, and everything was probably within a

493
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>half mile of drifting, and then they had rough another

494
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>half mile, maybe a little more before they got their

495
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.319
<v Speaker 2>family's cabin down the way. He said. Once he got quiet,

496
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.119
<v Speaker 2>they still periodically flash light up on the river bank.

497
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 2>No movement, no nothing. And then when they come into

498
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>view of the cousin's cabin. Just as it comes into view,

499
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 2>they saw a light was on inside and then the

500
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 2>light went off, so they're like, well, shit, that was

501
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>a reference points. David had both flashlights at this point,

502
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.359
<v Speaker 2>hold them up so Bruce could see the river bank,

503
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 2>and they got over to where they wanted to be

504
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in stuff, and David tied him off. They went and

505
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 2>banged on the door. They heard their cousin. Their cousin

506
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 2>had a shotgun, and they heard him the shotgun and

507
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.680
<v Speaker 2>said get out of here, real loud, and they said, hey,

508
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 2>it's us, it's us. He goes, oh shit, sumbs and

509
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>opens the door for him, and he was like, hey,

510
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that thing was down here peeking in the windows man,

511
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and just told him that basically it came down. They

512
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.920
<v Speaker 2>peeked in the windows a couple times and then left,

513
00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.799
<v Speaker 2>and so he thought nothing of it, and so when

514
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>they started banging, he thought it was back. They shared

515
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 2>everything that had happened. Let's just say the cousin was

516
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 2>not happy that they potentially brought it to him, but

517
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>nine else happened. The next morning they went and extensively

518
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>David and Bruce looked and searched tracks try to figure

519
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>out where it was coming and going from, and it

520
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.559
<v Speaker 2>basically once the tracks they did find reached the inside

521
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 2>the trees, that done with they couldn't track it anymore. Again,

522
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.759
<v Speaker 2>this is a little more twenty five years ago. I

523
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 2>want to thank Bruce for sharing that. Bruce isn't his

524
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 2>real name. I've known him shit since I was little.

525
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate him willing to share it because initially he

526
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to share it all. His brother David since

527
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 2>passed a voting accident. Actually at night in the skiff.

528
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Initially he brought it up and shared it with me

529
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a few times, just in conversation. Nothing to ever go

530
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 2>public with. He was watching a few of the videos.

531
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't like to follow this stuff because he doesn't

532
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 2>like it. He would rather not hear about it. He

533
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>decided to allow me to share this just so people

534
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>are aware I wanted to share with you today. Comes

535
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 2>from Craig, who was with his wife, Sheila and their

536
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.039
<v Speaker 2>two young daughters. They were out by Johnstone Bay, which

537
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>is the middle ground between Prince William Sound and Gulf

538
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>of Alaska. They were out on their boat recreationally. They

539
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 2>were doing a little bit of rock fish and some

540
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:23.160
<v Speaker 2>other stuff like that, just family time. This was twenty

541
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. It was early August. They're out there, they're

542
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>doing the fishing thing. They're near Johnstone Bay and the

543
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>weather started picking up. So, according to what Craig said, Shila,

544
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 2>his wife, was getting nervous with their daughters on board.

545
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>It was rocking a little more than she had liked.

546
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>So they headed inland just to wait out the storm.

547
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 2>They were out for a few days anyway, so it

548
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 2>was no big deal. As they're getting closer to shore,

549
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 2>there's this little Johnstone Bay where they're pulling into and

550
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>there's a river that leads back to Johnstone Lake. It's

551
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.279
<v Speaker 2>a very large lake. As they were getting closer to shore,

552
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Craig said that they saw some what they thought were

553
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>people going back and forth on the beach and they

554
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.839
<v Speaker 2>were looking around for a boat and there was not right.

555
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 2>So they were like, geez, maybe these people are trapped here,

556
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe they need rescuing, so let's go check on which

557
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 2>is the Alaskan thing to do people in distress. Fellow

558
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Alaskans immediately jump in, unless they're just a pos then

559
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>they need to go away. But anyway, so they're on

560
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a rescue mission. Basically in their mind's eye, they're heading

561
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 2>towards shore. He's making sure he's not going to run aground.

562
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.759
<v Speaker 2>He's very studious when it comes to safety, So Craig said,

563
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>as they were approaching, they noticed as they got closer

564
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.720
<v Speaker 2>he had an air horn, and he started airing the airhorn,

565
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 2>getting these people's attention, letting them know, hey, we're coming.

566
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>So he gave three short as he was heading in.

567
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>The closer they got, Craig said, these people fled the

568
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>beach and went into the up into the brush, and

569
00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 2>for the life of them, he couldn't understand it because

570
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.079
<v Speaker 2>he saw at least three right. So as they get

571
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.480
<v Speaker 2>closer and closer, he decides, okay, this is close enough.

572
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 2>He didn't want to run aground in all that very

573
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>expensive boat, so he stops. He drops anchor, He gets

574
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 2>the dinghy down, the little nine horse or ten horse

575
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 2>outboard whatever they had threw it on there, grabbed his firearm,

576
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 2>grabbed first aid kit, water and some food and put

577
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.279
<v Speaker 2>it on in. Now, you got to keep in mind

578
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 2>there's a storm moving in behind him, so they're fairly protected.

579
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.440
<v Speaker 2>The swells aren't so bad there. Sheila feels a lot

580
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 2>more comfortable. So she's waiting on the boat with the

581
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.720
<v Speaker 2>two girls. The girls, by the way, were under ten.

582
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll just leave that out of it. So they both

583
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 2>had air horns because the walkie talkies they had the

584
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>batteries were dead. So what they decided to do is

585
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 2>they worked out Okay, one blast, I'm on my way back,

586
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 2>three blasts, emergency call for help. Whatever. They had this

587
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:01.720
<v Speaker 2>all pre planned out many times over. Stay tuned for

588
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 2>more sasquatch out to sea, we'll be right back after

589
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 2>these messages. So what ended up happening is he starts

590
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 2>into shore. Now when he's getting closer to shore, he

591
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 2>keeps looking back at the boat the storm coming, because

592
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to get caught in this little dinghy,

593
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 2>but he wanted to get to shore and see if

594
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 2>these people needed help. From what Craig said, as he

595
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 2>kept looking back, he started getting a real strange feeling

596
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the closer to shore he got, and he said he

597
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.240
<v Speaker 2>couldn't explain it. He said he felt like he was

598
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 2>going to need rescuing, which seemed real weird because he's

599
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 2>sitting there just simply going to check on some people

600
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 2>and he's not understanding why they fled into the woods.

601
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.519
<v Speaker 2>So all the stuff is going on, and he's trying

602
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to basically figure it out on the fly, like what's

603
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>causing it, what scenario has these people hiding? Are they okay?

604
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Are they safe? For all this stuff? He gets to

605
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>shore as soon as he jumped out and pulled the

606
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>dinghy up so the water wouldn't wash it away and stuff,

607
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>and he tied it off around a medium sized boulder.

608
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 1>He said.

609
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 2>He grabbed his rifle and his trauma pack started hollering, Hey,

610
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>come out, come out. I'm here to help. I'm here

611
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to help. And he's looking around and he comes across

612
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.359
<v Speaker 2>some of the tracks in the gravel beach, and what

613
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.920
<v Speaker 2>have you? He said. When he got up over there

614
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.799
<v Speaker 2>and started looking at the tracks, he was dump boundered

615
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>at how large they were. Harry Mann sasquatch, all that

616
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:32.680
<v Speaker 2>was not even in his wheelhouse. Craig is a professional

617
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>man and very straightforward, no time for nonsense kind of guy,

618
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>very serious. So he's examining these prints and he watched

619
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 2>these things, these people make these tracks. He watched them

620
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>walking and flee off into the brush. Right, So he's

621
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 2>looking and it's starting to dawn on him. That these

622
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 2>tracks are huge. He sat down and his airhorn can

623
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>is approximately eight inches tall, so he used the can

624
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 2>as a marker. One of the tracks was three of

625
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the air horns, another one was three and a half,

626
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 2>and one was two. He's this, holy crap, he realizes

627
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:14.039
<v Speaker 2>these are very large people. He didn't feel comfortable anymore.

628
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>They were barefoot tracks. He yelled out a couple more times,

629
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:22.559
<v Speaker 2>just to check right, so, he said, as he basically

630
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:26.480
<v Speaker 2>assessed the situation and realized he's dealing with something he

631
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 2>has no clue about. He's paying attention to these tracks.

632
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to work through the scenarios in his head

633
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 2>or what the hell's happening with these people, he said.

634
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 2>At that time, he heard the airhorn from his wife.

635
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>So he looks back at the boat and she's just

636
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 2>three blasts, three blasts, three blasts, so obviously she's really

637
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 2>wanting his attention. He said that as he's trying to

638
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 2>look back towards the boat, which is one hundred yards

639
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>way at this point, he can't make out what's going on,

640
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 2>so he decides, I'll get out of here. He walks

641
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 2>back and he unties the dingy and he's pushing it out.

642
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>He said. When he got in the dinghy and turned

643
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 2>around back and looked, it looked like a very large

644
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>brown mound down just back behind him. He said, it

645
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:19.799
<v Speaker 2>was probably maybe sixty feet maybe, just out of nowhere.

646
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>There's this big brown mound there. He couldn't, for the

647
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 2>life of him, figure out what he was looking at.

648
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't sure if it was something he didn't notice

649
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.079
<v Speaker 2>when he first got there, like a piece of basically erosion,

650
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 2>a big clump of brown dirt or whatever, just washed up,

651
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>because that does happen in certain places. It looks shaggy

652
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.319
<v Speaker 2>and what have you. But then he saw it move

653
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 2>and it freaked him out because it was massive. He said.

654
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.519
<v Speaker 2>He saw it move. It just from what he could

655
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 2>make out, was just a big brown mound at first,

656
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 2>and it moved, and it moved back and forth a

657
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.359
<v Speaker 2>little bit. He was in shock, trying to figure out

658
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.079
<v Speaker 2>what the hell he is looking at. Craig said that

659
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>in that moment he realized, whatever, this is obviously alive.

660
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>It's way big. It's huge. He said. It was like

661
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 2>a Volkswagen going back and forth. And he said the

662
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 2>way it was going back and forth was sporadic. It

663
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:12.800
<v Speaker 2>jolped this way a little bit, and it joked back

664
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 2>this way, and he couldn't make out what he was seeing.

665
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.159
<v Speaker 2>So he's steadily pushing the boat out. He's unnerved. He

666
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 2>gets on the boat and he's turned around. He fires

667
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>up the motor and he goes into small circle so

668
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:28.599
<v Speaker 2>he could circle around and look back because there's no

669
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 2>reverse on the little outboard. So he does that, and

670
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:33.679
<v Speaker 2>as he's looking back at this brown thing, all of

671
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, this thing stands up. He said, when it

672
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.039
<v Speaker 2>stood up, it looked as wide as it was tall.

673
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 2>He said it was humongous. He said it was over

674
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:48.960
<v Speaker 2>ten foot tall, very wide, very like matted like, just

675
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.880
<v Speaker 2>almost like dreadlocks looking to it, like a real dirty

676
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 2>dog whipd to it with long hair. He was trying

677
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 2>to figure out what the hell he was looking at.

678
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.159
<v Speaker 2>And he said when it stood up, it wasn't facing him.

679
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.239
<v Speaker 2>It was quartering away. As far as how it was positioned,

680
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it was facing away from him at a forty five

681
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 2>degree angle. He said. He was in shock. So he

682
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>kept going in the circle looking and as he's doing so,

683
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 2>back behind this thing, he noticed movement in the brush.

684
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.760
<v Speaker 2>And now He's super curious what the hell is really

685
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.440
<v Speaker 2>happening here, because what he said he saw seemed much

686
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>larger than the three what he thought were people just

687
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.920
<v Speaker 2>moments ago that caused them to come in here. He said,

688
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 2>as he's doing this checking out this other movement, this

689
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>thing let out a roar. He said it was like

690
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.280
<v Speaker 2>a mix between a lion, a bear growl, a woman

691
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 2>being murdered. Just got awful guttural. Sounded like someone with

692
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 2>a real bad chest cold. At the same time, it

693
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 2>was very powerful. He felt it vibrate the boat. He

694
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 2>was just in a little rubber dingy. So he's instantly

695
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.119
<v Speaker 2>turned around and started going back to the boat. Now,

696
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>during this time, his wife is running out of her

697
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 2>air horn. She exhausted it trying to get his attention

698
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 2>to get him the hell back to the boat. She

699
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.239
<v Speaker 2>was freaked out. He gets back to the boat, his

700
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 2>wife and two daughters are scared. They thought he was

701
00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:13.800
<v Speaker 2>going to get eaten because what he didn't realize is

702
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 2>when he was checking out the tracks and measuring them

703
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:18.599
<v Speaker 2>with his air horn, this thing had come down the

704
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:22.559
<v Speaker 2>beach behind him and was basically sniffing his tracks. His

705
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.199
<v Speaker 2>wife told him when he knelt down and was doing

706
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the measurements. So she started blaring the airhorn. It was

707
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 2>to try to get his attention, and he would just

708
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.559
<v Speaker 2>glance back over his shoulder back at the boat, and

709
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:35.199
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't looking back behind him where she needed him

710
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 2>to see what was happening. And she said, it came

711
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.840
<v Speaker 2>out standing, got down on all fours and then started

712
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:44.920
<v Speaker 2>going back and forth. It looked like it was sniffing

713
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 2>for something. The only thing Craig could figure out is

714
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>it was smelling his tracks, trying to figure out what

715
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 2>he was. So as she's telling him this, he's trying

716
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:56.039
<v Speaker 2>to did you see it, he's looking around for a

717
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.280
<v Speaker 2>cell phone. They put their cell phones in one of

718
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.360
<v Speaker 2>those dry bags and it was somewhere down underneath in

719
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.639
<v Speaker 2>the hold, and so he sent his daughters, Hey, go

720
00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:07.719
<v Speaker 2>find that dry bag so we can get my cell phone.

721
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get some photos of this and try

722
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 2>to record some of this. And his wife's let's just go.

723
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's just go. We can beat the storm and we'll

724
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>head towards seward. Get somewhere else other than here right now.

725
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I want to go, and they're offshore. But she's really

726
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 2>freaked out because she thought she was about to watch

727
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:28.400
<v Speaker 2>her husband get eaten. Essentially, she thought it was a

728
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 2>bear at first, but obviously it was no bear, And

729
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:34.760
<v Speaker 2>so his daughters couldn't find the dry bag with the

730
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 2>cell phones. It ended up being hanging just inside where

731
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:41.719
<v Speaker 2>the little cabinet is for this little cruiser, just inside

732
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:44.320
<v Speaker 2>on a hook, and they were looking everywhere else and

733
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.320
<v Speaker 2>it was like right there in front of him. But anyway,

734
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 2>so he pulls anchor, he circles around, and he heads

735
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 2>towards shore a little bit more. He didn't want to

736
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.159
<v Speaker 2>get too close because he didn't want to ground out

737
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. But he said he got fairly close,

738
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and his wife started getting real mad at him, yelling

739
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 2>at him. We got to get out of here, because

740
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 2>by this point there was only a smaller one on

741
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the beach. And he said he was trying to get

742
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:12.159
<v Speaker 2>a better visual of this thing, and he said it

743
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 2>looked like the arms were way too long for the body.

744
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:19.159
<v Speaker 2>The way it moved was very different. He said, the

745
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 2>torsol was longer than the legs. The arms hung real

746
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>low this thing. But once he got to a certain

747
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 2>point and turned, he was adjusting his outboard and adjusting

748
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>him up and it got to a point to where

749
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the exhaust started cork. Anyone been on a boat, you

750
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about. So the exhaust got a

751
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:39.840
<v Speaker 2>little louder, and once that happened, this thing took off.

752
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 2>It was gone, And he said it disappeared into the

753
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>trees so fast he couldn't even calculate how quickly.

754
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:47.159
<v Speaker 1>It was going.

755
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:49.679
<v Speaker 2>It was just there and then that noise happened and

756
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 2>it was gone. So with that they headed away. They

757
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.400
<v Speaker 2>got up around the bend and they heard another This

758
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.639
<v Speaker 2>was at a distance because they got up around the

759
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>bend just out of Johnstone Bay. He powered off and

760
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>dropped the anchor again and was trying to figure out

761
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 2>what their next move was. At that point, when they

762
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:14.280
<v Speaker 2>were sitting there trying to figure it out, they heard

763
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.599
<v Speaker 2>another almost identical growl, howl, scream coming from basically the

764
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:23.119
<v Speaker 2>same area, and he said it was just so unreal.

765
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 2>They headed off. They ended up going to Seward. I

766
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:30.199
<v Speaker 2>want to thank Craig for being patient. A lot of times,

767
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 2>there's other people that I'm in contact with. I try

768
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to get all the details to share with you. Guys.

769
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Any sounds you can recognize if you're in a similar situation,

770
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you can figure things out. I want to thank him

771
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.320
<v Speaker 2>for being patient. I want to thank him for getting

772
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.039
<v Speaker 2>back to me and for sharing with us. There's a

773
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.559
<v Speaker 2>lot more to come, but I want to think his wife.

774
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:51.559
<v Speaker 2>She didn't say much when I talked to her, other

775
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:54.159
<v Speaker 2>than she told me that she thought her husband was

776
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:56.440
<v Speaker 2>going to get eaten in front of her and their daughters.

777
00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:59.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's just a horrific thought anyway, And that's it

778
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 2>for now. I want to tak thank you guys for
