Speaker 3: by a full moon on Friday the thirteenth, out of campfire,
Speaker 3: walking at scotch with Scotch and Irish death.

Speaker 1: which is true because it's like ten thirty. It's very
Speaker 1: dark except for the full moon which is now rising. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's getting a little it's crazy because the full moon
Speaker 1: casts a lot of shadows this time of night.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if our if our audio quality isn't good, it's
Speaker 3: because we are recording on our smartphone, because we are
Speaker 3: truly out of cell phone range, out in the middle
Speaker 3: of nowhere in the woods, around a campfire, enjoying a
Speaker 3: barley pop or beer. Some people would like to call it.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody calls it a barleypop.
Speaker 3: You know you want to head down to the hip
Speaker 3: of a hop gub a barley pop and get a
Speaker 3: part of did you grab that?
Speaker 2: He just grabbed him off?
Speaker 1: That was attraction by the fire out of thin air.
Speaker 3: With his lightning speed hands.
Speaker 2: That was weird. Anyway.
Speaker 3: So we are here in the woods and we're doing
Speaker 3: this podcast right now. And because we're doing this opening
Speaker 3: before we actually get the stories, we don't know what
Speaker 3: the heck we're gonna be talking.
Speaker 1: About, or if we're going to be able to because
Speaker 1: nobody seems to be involved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if somebody would like give us their stories, come on,
Speaker 3: damn it.
Speaker 1: But we're hoping explicit rating on iTunes PG.
Speaker 4: Thirteen.
Speaker 3: Damn it. It's not a bad word.
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know what's bad.
Speaker 3: We are here in the woods and we are about
Speaker 3: to launch these strange stories. So belt up, get ready,
Speaker 3: don't get too afraid, and if you do, call your counselor.
Speaker 4: I got a better one.
Speaker 1: Okay, throw on your backpacks, grab some trail mix nice
Speaker 1: and hit the trails with us.
Speaker 3: True that that's pretty good, And here's our first story.
Speaker 5: Hey guys, Hey guys, and thank you for tuning into

Speaker 3: Yeah right. Yeah, So our topic that we're starting and
Speaker 3: we're calling this a Strange Thing in the Woods, which
Speaker 3: if you've listened to our opening, you will discover that
Speaker 3: we did the kickoff for this topic while we were
Speaker 3: in the wood woods.
Speaker 5: Yep. We were on a hunt and we sat down
Speaker 5: by the fire, turned on the phone and recorded ourselves
Speaker 5: rambling about strange things in the woods.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if you see a or here, a quality difference
Speaker 3: between what we did in the woods and what we
Speaker 3: do here, it's because we have better speakers, well, better
Speaker 3: microphones here and speakers, yeah both.
Speaker 5: It's just better here.
Speaker 3: It's warmer and there's not bugs.
Speaker 5: Fun grab moths out of the air, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy master, but you gotta admit that was awesome.
Speaker 5: It was super fun.
Speaker 2: We're up there.
Speaker 3: It was a full moon. It was Friday the thirteenth,
Speaker 3: and it was beautiful and the fire was.
Speaker 5: Popping and it was crazy quiet. It was nice. It
Speaker 5: was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: It was really cool, and we had a good scotch.
Speaker 3: Yeah we did, and we didn't drink too much. Drink responsibly.
Speaker 3: We just are saying that right now so that we
Speaker 3: can have a disclaimer. You've been disclaimed. You've been disclaimed.
Speaker 3: Don't be stupid.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 3: So this is all about your stories, strange things that
Speaker 3: happened to you, our listeners while you're outside or out
Speaker 3: in the woods. And we got some great ones. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so let's just kick it off. Let's just go for all. Right, Okay,
Speaker 3: this one, I'm shouting out to Ron Colbert, Ron Colbert,
Speaker 3: Ron Colbert, the story is from you, and it's for us,
Speaker 3: and it's an awesome story. So Ron shared his story
Speaker 3: when he was in high school almost graduating. Back in
Speaker 3: the day, like in the early eighties, maybe the late seventies,
Speaker 3: what you used to do is you would get in
Speaker 3: a car and you would go out on the cruise. Now,
Speaker 3: I know this is like something totally alien for everybody
Speaker 3: that's probably twenty five and under, but what you would
Speaker 3: do is you would go out, because you didn't have
Speaker 3: cell phones. You had to go out and drive really
Speaker 3: slowly back and forth on a boulevard and whistle at
Speaker 3: girls or boys, depending whatever you wanted as the cars
Speaker 3: drove by you on the other side of the road,
Speaker 3: and you'd pull over and you'd talk, and you'd meet
Speaker 3: your friends and you'd get tough and you'd like try
Speaker 3: to get start a fight or something if you're that
Speaker 3: kind of person. But it was just a fun thing
Speaker 3: he did on a Friday night.
Speaker 5: So or Saturday, borrow the keys to your dad's Lincoln Continental.
Speaker 3: Or you might even have had a car maybe, yeah.
Speaker 5: Or take your Ford Pinto, get a couple of your
Speaker 5: buddies several if it's the Lincoln two.
Speaker 3: If it's the Pinto, So Ron and his buddies get this,
Speaker 3: get in. I think it's a nineteen eighty Chevy Manza ooh, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, is the same car your mom had.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was her first car.
Speaker 3: V six, A little sporty, little car, kind of fun.
Speaker 5: It looks like a Dotson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, two door coup right. So Ron and two or
Speaker 3: three of his buddies are out cruising. It's late cruise
Speaker 3: starts dying down about maybe midnight, one o'clock, one am,
Speaker 3: and so they decide to go home. So they get
Speaker 3: in the car. They're driving home, and this is taking
Speaker 3: place in Salt Lake City, Utah. And they were out
Speaker 3: by the railroad tracks driving home and they saw a
Speaker 3: train coming, and so they're watching the train coming and
Speaker 3: they stop for the train because they're not gonna they
Speaker 3: don't want to die. And is the trains coming. They
Speaker 3: look up and they see a hobo standing on the
Speaker 3: side of the tracks. And as the train goes by
Speaker 3: in front of them, the hobo takes off running so
Speaker 3: he can jump on the train. Okay, because trains go
Speaker 3: slow through town, right, Yeah, So the hobo chases the train,
Speaker 3: grabs the railing.
Speaker 5: And guess what, like from a like a Western movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's gonna hop the train. He's gonna he's
Speaker 3: gonna be a train hopper. So he goes to grab
Speaker 3: the rail, he misses, falls down, and the train runs
Speaker 3: over him. Oh and they watched it happen, yeah, from
Speaker 3: the Manza parked in front of the railroad tracks. So
Speaker 3: they're like, oh my gosh, what and the train goes by.
Speaker 3: They're freaking out. They don't know what to do. They
Speaker 3: can't call like a paramedic or the police.
Speaker 5: They have to go to a landline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have to go to a phone booth, or go
Speaker 3: to a something that's open and borrow a phone. That's
Speaker 3: not funny. So the train goes by. They get out
Speaker 3: and run up to see what has happened, expecting to
Speaker 3: see the worst. And when they get up there, the
Speaker 3: train had ran over the guy and cut off both
Speaker 3: of his legs right above his knee.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not funny. No, but can you imagine.
Speaker 5: You're out on a cruise end this strange thing happens.
Speaker 3: It's strange, and you're walking up and you're kind of
Speaker 3: going slow because you don't want to see it. And
Speaker 3: they get up there and everything is probably in like silhouette,
Speaker 3: and they see arms flailing around and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: They can't hear the guy because all you can hear
Speaker 5: is yeah, the train goin. Yeah, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: They get up there, the guy's been run over. His
Speaker 3: both of his legs right above his knee are are missing,
Speaker 3: and when the train ran over him, it rolled him
Speaker 3: underneath and basically his pant legs were wrapped.
Speaker 5: Up so tight around instant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like pinched off the blood supply, which probably saved
Speaker 3: his life. And so they went up there and the
Speaker 3: guy is obviously in shock, and Ron said, what struck
Speaker 3: him the most is when they got up to this
Speaker 3: person lying there, that he was trying to stand up
Speaker 3: or sit up. And every time, because he's in shock,
Speaker 3: and every time he tried to sit up.
Speaker 5: I fil a graphic warning coming up. Yeah, if you're squeamish, yeah,
Speaker 5: plug your ears. Yeah for a second.
Speaker 3: But when he tried to sit up, it would force
Speaker 3: the steamers to protrude out of the of the stump
Speaker 3: and then out of the pants. They could see the
Speaker 3: bone push out, and then he'd lead back down and
Speaker 3: they'd retracked back into his leg.
Speaker 5: So he's like eighteen or nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all these guys were probably eighteen.
Speaker 5: I can't have no idea like the best way to
Speaker 5: go about helping him. No, they kind of held him
Speaker 5: off the tracks or something. They got him off the
Speaker 5: tracks and kind of held him down. A guy ran back,
Speaker 5: got in the Manza and took off to go get help.
Speaker 5: And eventually the cops come and I think maybe a
Speaker 5: fire truck and and an ambulance an ambulance and they
Speaker 5: picked this guy up and they take him off to
Speaker 5: the hospital. That is such a creepy, strange story.
Speaker 3: You start the night out going out thinking you're gonna
Speaker 3: go find some hot chikis on the on the boulevard.
Speaker 5: End up saving a hobo with no legs, and you
Speaker 5: end up saving a hobo with no legs.
Speaker 4: Crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a That is a strange story.
Speaker 4: Ro Cobrat.
Speaker 5: I'm surprised Ron didn't like just cauterize the rounds with
Speaker 5: friction and carry him back to the hospital. He is
Speaker 5: a beast.
Speaker 3: We know, Ron, he is a beast. He was a
Speaker 3: wrestler at the time, and he was the mascot for
Speaker 3: the Cheered team. Strong dude, Yeah, strong dude. But anyway, Ron,
Speaker 3: thanks for that story. It's an awesome.
Speaker 2: Story story and a great kickoff.
Speaker 5: So yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: So I don't know really what that first story was,
Speaker 3: but I'm sure it was awesome because we chose it.
Speaker 3: So now the setup for our second story that we
Speaker 3: don't know what it will be.
Speaker 1: Here's our friend or listener giving us a story about something.
Speaker 1: Here she or he is and they are gonna tell
Speaker 1: you about it, and now we're gonna tell you about
Speaker 1: them telling us about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna talk to you about it. So here's
Speaker 3: story number two. Click, she'd do like four us. Okay,
Speaker 3: So this story is really kind of cool and it's weird.
Speaker 3: It's like something you would not expect, and it is
Speaker 3: brought to us by Travis Gatsby Travis, thank you for
Speaker 3: sending it. It's an awesome story.
Speaker 5: Big DG, big DG.
Speaker 3: So Travis wrote up the story and sent it to us,
Speaker 3: and it has written so well, and we're gonna kind
Speaker 3: of paraphrase for time's sake on our podcast. But for
Speaker 3: listeners who want to read Travis's story written out the
Speaker 3: way that it was done in its purest form, go
Speaker 3: to our website, go to the episode page and then
Speaker 3: look a look at the links page and you'll find
Speaker 3: his actual story in his own hand.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 3: So, anyway the story goes that Travis sentis It was
Speaker 3: about him and his wife and another couple that went
Speaker 3: up camping and motorcycle riding in a small area outside
Speaker 3: of Atlanta, Idaho. Yes, there is an Atlanta outside of
Speaker 3: Idaho or in Atlanta. I'm Atlanta yeah. So they go
Speaker 3: up there and they're going to go to this place
Speaker 3: called Grouse Lakes, and so the only way to really
Speaker 3: get there is on a motorcycle or side by side
Speaker 3: or something like that. You got to get up and
Speaker 3: get up in the wilderness in the mountains. And so
Speaker 3: they go up there and they're riding motorcycles and they
Speaker 3: go to this lake and yeah, it does it sounds
Speaker 3: like a lot of fun. Anyway, they go up there
Speaker 3: and one of the wives has this brilliant thought. She says, hey,
Speaker 3: isn't it called Grouse Lakes as in gross lakes plural?
Speaker 3: And they're sitting around one lake, and it got them thinking, well,
Speaker 3: maybe there's another lake around here somewhere.
Speaker 5: So it's like adventure time. Adventure time.
Speaker 3: So they get out their topographical maps and sure enough,
Speaker 3: there's another lake, and they decide they're going to go
Speaker 3: out and find it. So they get on their bikes
Speaker 3: and they ride up there, and then I guess they
Speaker 3: have to get off and kind of do a little hiking.
Speaker 3: And while they're there, they look up and guess what
Speaker 3: they see in the trees?
Speaker 5: Airplane?
Speaker 3: Nope, the in the tree.
Speaker 5: Oh I get crashed.
Speaker 3: No, no, almost though, they look up and they see
Speaker 3: a tan parachute hanging from a tree branch and at
Speaker 3: the end of the cord something is tethered to it.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So Travis and his friend are like, hey, girls, you
Speaker 3: guys stay here, we're gonna go check it out in
Speaker 3: case there's a dead body or something. You never know,
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 5: They got part of Jurassic Part two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, skulls probably wouldn't smell very good.
Speaker 5: It's like the body hanging.
Speaker 3: Ew yeah, maybe like go all the predators are like
Speaker 3: tewed off parts.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, they get up there and it wasn't a human
Speaker 3: nothing was it. So when they go around the corner
Speaker 3: and they look and there is like a thirty gallon
Speaker 3: drum attached to the cords at the end of this parachute.
Speaker 3: So they call the girls over and they all are
Speaker 3: like looking at this thing and trying to move it.
Speaker 3: But it's like it's like three hundred.
Speaker 5: Pounds, you know.
Speaker 3: And so this big barrel and its duct taped and
Speaker 3: it's all sealed up and like special wrap and stuff,
Speaker 3: and they're like, what the heck is this And they're
Speaker 3: jostling it, trying to shake it and figure it out. Well,
Speaker 3: times are burning, man, they got to keep going. So
Speaker 3: they end up taking a video of it, and it
Speaker 3: must have been like a VHS tape because this is
Speaker 3: like nineteen ninety.
Speaker 5: Five, so this is like a while ago.
Speaker 3: Nice, So they take a little quick video and then
Speaker 3: they're off again to find the lake, which they did, so,
Speaker 3: oh good for them. Yeah, so the name was accurate.
Speaker 3: It is Grouse Lakes plural. So they go and they
Speaker 3: do their thing, and then they go back to the
Speaker 3: camp and the other couple their friends, has to leave
Speaker 3: a little early, so Travis and his wife stay a
Speaker 3: couple extra days and then they go home. And when
Speaker 3: they get home they discover like on their answering machine,
Speaker 3: because they did have those in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Billo, you've reached the big TG. I'm not able
Speaker 5: to come to the phone right now, but if you
Speaker 5: have any questions about a mysterious barrel in the woods,
Speaker 5: leave a message.
Speaker 3: After the beat, right exactly. But it's loaded. There are
Speaker 3: all kinds of messages, And apparently what happened was the
Speaker 3: friends got home, they told their parents, and the parents
Speaker 3: told somebody else, and they told somebody else. Pretty soon
Speaker 3: the Forest Service heard about it and it was a
Speaker 3: big deal. So they get there and the Forest Services
Speaker 3: on the messaging thing saying, hey, you need to come
Speaker 3: and ride away. We got to talk about this.
Speaker 5: Bring your video.
Speaker 2: So they go to the for.
Speaker 3: A Service office in Twin Falls, Idaho, which is I
Speaker 3: don't know, it's a good one hundred miles eighty ninety
Speaker 3: miles from from Atlanta.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they go back and and they go to the
Speaker 3: Office for a Service and they describe what they saw,
Speaker 3: and before they even view the tape that they'd recorded,
Speaker 3: they're like, you know what, you need to go right.
Speaker 5: To the DEA. No.
Speaker 3: Boy, So, for those of you who don't know, DEA
Speaker 3: stands for what Austin's Test Drug.
Speaker 5: And Drug Administration Drug Enforcement Administration.
Speaker 3: Good try, you're almost he had one third of it.
Speaker 5: No, you had two thirds Administration.
Speaker 3: Drug Enforcement Administration.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they go to the DEA's office and they show
Speaker 3: this tape and I guess they're sitting around this table
Speaker 3: and the people around the table kind of look like thogs,
Speaker 3: kind of like a mobster or something more than DEA agents,
Speaker 3: and so it was a little weird. But they show
Speaker 3: the tape and the DEA agents are like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: this is classic narcotics dropping into wilderness so they can
Speaker 3: bypass you know, laws and cops and everything like that.
Speaker 3: They drop in the wilderness and they have mules go
Speaker 3: up and get it, and then they take it down
Speaker 3: and sell it. Yeah, they distribute it and make lots
Speaker 3: of money. So the DEA agents see this video and
Speaker 3: they're like, we've got to do something right away because
Speaker 3: somebody's gonna go up there and get it. We're gonna
Speaker 3: have all these drugs on the market. And not only that,
Speaker 3: your lives are in danger because you've found this, you
Speaker 3: videotaped it, and you guys which Travis and his wife,
Speaker 3: you know, they could be after you anyway. They say, hey,
Speaker 3: you've got to take us up there, and he goes, okay,
Speaker 3: I can do that like maybe wednesday or next week
Speaker 3: on Friday something like that. And they go, no, you
Speaker 3: got to take us up there first thing tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: And he's like, you can only get there by motorcycles,
Speaker 3: and he goes, we'll get motorcycles. We got to get
Speaker 3: up there first thing tomorrow morning. He's like, oh, I
Speaker 3: don't know, and he goes, you if you don't your
Speaker 3: life's in danger. So go home, lock the doors, and
Speaker 3: if anything weird happens, call us immediately. So they're all
Speaker 3: nervous and a little creeped out. They go home, and
Speaker 3: the next day he gets up and he loads up
Speaker 3: his motorcycles and he meets the DEE agents and off
Speaker 3: they go to check out the barrel of.
Speaker 5: The serious barrel of Rouse Lakes.
Speaker 3: So while they're driving up there, they're talking about, you know,
Speaker 3: drugs and how they'll drop in drugs in a barrel
Speaker 3: and then people will go up and get it and
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: And they're talking about.
Speaker 3: How it's really cool because if there are drugs in
Speaker 3: the barrel, him and his wife they would get five
Speaker 3: percent of the street value of the drugs as a
Speaker 3: re ward for finding the drugs. So he's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: this is awesome, man. And he's spending his money in
Speaker 3: his head, he said, is he's going up there. And
Speaker 3: so they get up to Atlanta and they unload the
Speaker 3: bikes and then they start driving up through the trails
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. And I guess somewhere along the
Speaker 3: way and I don't know if it's they stop somewhere,
Speaker 3: but somewhere along the way one of the DEE agents said, Hey,
Speaker 3: did you buy chance wiggle the barrel or jiggle it
Speaker 3: or anything like that, or did you guys just look
Speaker 3: at it? He goes, no, we wiggled it and we
Speaker 3: were going to try to cut the top off and
Speaker 3: we didn't. And he goes, oh, well good because if
Speaker 3: it was booby trapped, it probably would have blown up.
Speaker 3: And he's like what, Yeah, it scared him. After death,
Speaker 3: you know that they were maybe up there and this
Speaker 3: thing had been booby trapped.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could have died. Yeah.
Speaker 3: They end up getting on the motorcycles and Travis said
Speaker 3: that these guys obviously aren't motorcycle riders, but somehow they
Speaker 3: managed to make it up to the site and they
Speaker 3: find the barrel in the parachute and they go up
Speaker 3: to it and they're kind of carefully rolling it around
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. One thing I forgot to tell
Speaker 3: you is on the top of the barrel somebody had
Speaker 3: written with the sharpie had written the following warning R
Speaker 3: two lightning pounder. First be the man who opens this
Speaker 3: but does not own it? WHOA Yeah, kind of parody
Speaker 3: are but also you know, when they're talking about booby traps,
Speaker 3: I mean, this is kind of like we'll be to
Speaker 3: the man. So anyway, when the agents get to the barrel,
Speaker 3: they are very careful as they try to open this thing.
Speaker 3: They don't want to set off a booby trap or
Speaker 3: something like that. And after a while they end up
Speaker 3: getting the top off, They get the duct tape off
Speaker 3: and the wrap off, and they lift up the lid
Speaker 3: and inside the lid is like a white batting material,
Speaker 3: heavy batting material, so the cushion whatever's under in there,
Speaker 3: and Travis say is the agent that was opening the
Speaker 3: barrel goes, okay, boys, this is what this is all about.
Speaker 3: This is why we do this job. And they're all like,
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen? So the agent pulls back the batting
Speaker 3: and guess what he sees. Nope, no cocaine, but a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of cans of beer.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's like they pull back a batting and they
Speaker 3: are all these beer cans there like this is it, boys,
Speaker 3: And they're not like bud light, you know itccurs l
Speaker 3: like average beer. They're like Irish stout beers and imported beers.
Speaker 3: So they start digging in it and it's beer after
Speaker 3: beer after beer and then they think, well, is it
Speaker 3: really beer or maybe these are cans of cocaine in
Speaker 3: you know that look like beer. They open a can
Speaker 3: and it's beer. And they open another can and it's
Speaker 3: a beer. And they opened a third can. The agent
Speaker 3: actually takes a sip up and he goes, yeah, it's beer.
Speaker 5: Then they turned into d UI agents d instead of DG.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just had a big party up there, and
Speaker 3: well they had to test all of the beer make
Speaker 3: sure it wasn't myth. Well, the d U I eight
Speaker 3: I mean agents, they actually after a while they realized
Speaker 3: this is just a big beer, thirty gallon drum of beer.
Speaker 3: And Travis says that while they're looking at these, and
Speaker 3: he's realizing that all that money he thought he was
Speaker 3: going to get as a reward is evaporated.
Speaker 5: From five percent of the street value to five percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a street value of like millions of dollars to
Speaker 3: like nothing five percent alcohol alcohol. Yeah, So he's pretty discouraged,
Speaker 3: you know, And the the agent that's digging in there
Speaker 3: looks at it and he goes, you know, I understand,
Speaker 3: you know, you're probably depressed, but I'm a man of
Speaker 3: my word. And so he reaches in and gets a
Speaker 3: full can of beer and hands it to him and says, okay,
Speaker 3: here's your five percent and gives him a can of beer.
Speaker 3: So he takes his can of beer, and we have
Speaker 3: a picture of that can of beer on our website
Speaker 3: if you go to the links page. This actually happened.
Speaker 3: This is a real story.
Speaker 5: It's an awesome story.
Speaker 3: They decide they'll put all the beer cans that they
Speaker 3: pulled out back into the barrel and then they're going
Speaker 3: to seal it up. But right before they do, the
Speaker 3: de agent takes out a car to a business card
Speaker 3: and puts it in the barrel and seals it back up,
Speaker 3: puts the lid back up. So what probably happened. It's
Speaker 3: probably like some you know elk hunters pre drop. They
Speaker 3: didn't want to pack up, you know, all this pounds
Speaker 3: of beer, so they dropped off this thirty gallon drumful
Speaker 3: of beer then.
Speaker 5: Have to pack it. We should start doing that. That's
Speaker 5: a good idea.
Speaker 3: You know, anybody with a help heliplane, helip plane, how
Speaker 3: about a heckalopter?
Speaker 5: I do know people their plan.
Speaker 3: So if we knew somebody with an airplane, we could
Speaker 3: just have him drop it in it'd be cool. So anyway,
Speaker 3: somewhere sometime, hopefully somebody came back up to their elk
Speaker 3: camp and they went to get their beer and they're
Speaker 3: like what because it looks like and then see a
Speaker 3: car in there, d Agent whatever his name is. Those
Speaker 3: are my dogs. They're pain So Travis just want to
Speaker 3: tell you one more time, thank you for sending that story.
Speaker 3: The great story, And it is not what you think.
Speaker 3: It truly is a strange thing in the woods with
Speaker 3: super which is.
Speaker 5: Exactly than what we were thinking.
Speaker 3: I know, we were thinking like we're gonna get aliens
Speaker 3: and ghosts and all this weird stuff, but we get
Speaker 3: a thirty gallon drum of beer in the woods.
Speaker 5: Nice. Actually, that is really nice. Yeah, if anybody wants
Speaker 5: to drop a thirty gallon drum of beer near our house,
Speaker 5: get with us and we will figure out a way
Speaker 5: to do that.
Speaker 3: And you won't even need an airplane. Yeah, just just
Speaker 3: bring your dormbelty. Yeah, well unloaded for you for free.
Speaker 2: All right. That was awesome story. What a doozy.
Speaker 3: That was crazy.
Speaker 1: The specifics that I can't get into because I don't
Speaker 1: know what they.
Speaker 2: Are right now, because we're just like doing these intros.
Speaker 3: We don't know what the heck you guys are going
Speaker 3: to tell us about, but it's going to be pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I think we.
Speaker 4: Should, but let's go on to number three.
Speaker 1: I think we should cut in with a little bit
Speaker 1: of our own insight and then play the this part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally cool, cool, cool, Yeah, it'll be cool.
Speaker 3: But also we want to do a shout out again,
Speaker 3: a couple shoutouts.
Speaker 1: Right, we know people still shout too loud.
Speaker 3: It's leep, yeah, it is true, and we're up in
Speaker 3: the wilderness.
Speaker 4: We could bug people.
Speaker 2: Because there's so many people along the world.
Speaker 3: I know there's like, there is a camper what quarter
Speaker 3: mile away? Yeah, eighth of a mile away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They have their music up too loud to kind of
Speaker 3: pissed me because here we are in the mountains.
Speaker 4: I like Chris Tampleton, but it's not appropriate.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was, it was. It was kind of cool,
Speaker 3: but they shouldn't be doing it. I think we should
Speaker 3: go on to the story number three.
Speaker 4: Story number three would be great.
Speaker 3: I got done with number two already wiped, all right,
Speaker 3: So your story.
Speaker 2: Number three that was done, It was good. It would
Speaker 2: be good. Number two, all right, all right?
Speaker 5: It's kind of funny, this h Ron Colbert story, and
Speaker 5: this one kind of reminds me of a story that's
Speaker 5: not so happy but also kind of weird. There were
Speaker 5: these two young boys that went out.
Speaker 3: So this is another story inspired by.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just these last couple of stories of beer.
Speaker 3: Drop in the woods and Ron, you know, being the
Speaker 3: man and discovering the guy with the severed furs. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh cool, Okay, gotch.
Speaker 5: So these guys are out. These two young boys have
Speaker 5: a sleepover, like in junior high or something. So they
Speaker 5: decide they're going to go do some spotlighting rabbits or
Speaker 5: something and with a twenty two rifle and shoot some
Speaker 5: rabbits and spotlight them, which is not ethical.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not making the connection yet, but I
Speaker 3: think you're getting that.
Speaker 5: Okay. They meet up with another boy I think, or
Speaker 5: some other people there, and they come up by these
Speaker 5: railroad tracks and flash forward till later there's this train
Speaker 5: conductor coming on the tracks and sees these two what
Speaker 5: look like bodies on the railroad tracks. Yeah, so he
Speaker 5: tries to hit his brakes. He can't hit his brakes
Speaker 5: fast enough because trains don't stop very well. He ends
Speaker 5: up running over these two things on the track. Turns
Speaker 5: out it was two young boys, the same two boys. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but the parents don't really know. The police seem to
Speaker 5: kind of be keeping it in the dark, and the
Speaker 5: police kind of start investigating this stuff. And the police
Speaker 5: are like, well, there shouldn't have been people on the tracks.
Speaker 5: The guy that are running the train hit cows and
Speaker 5: stuff all the time. They're like, these they look like
Speaker 5: they had already died, Yeah, because they'd been placed. Get
Speaker 5: out of the way. Yeah, and like to not even
Speaker 5: turn your head when you start feeling the train come
Speaker 5: down the tracks. It is a little you know, you
Speaker 5: have to have something.
Speaker 3: You're basically saying that two kids hon a sleepover were
Speaker 3: like murdered and said on the tracks and train. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is not a funny story.
Speaker 5: But it's not all funny, dad.
Speaker 3: This isn't I mean, our last story was kind of
Speaker 3: like light hard.
Speaker 5: Got to bring it back to scary and Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 5: it sounds like it throughout the investigation that we find
Speaker 5: that these kids may have come across a drug drop
Speaker 5: near the railroad track because there's a clue cut in
Speaker 5: the railroad track so it's easier for people to find
Speaker 5: and maybe because it like forest. Yeah, so maybe they
Speaker 5: came across the people looking for the drop, or they
Speaker 5: came across the boys that had already found the drop,
Speaker 5: and these drug people apparently had killed them put them
Speaker 5: on the tracks.
Speaker 3: Okay, I kind of see the connection of you.
Speaker 5: Know, Ron's got Ron the hobo getting ran over and
Speaker 5: then this kind.
Speaker 3: Of I'm kind of seeing the connection now. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: you've got the railroad tracks and the kids getting run over.
Speaker 3: At least they were dead already, Yeah, I mean at
Speaker 3: least that sounds.
Speaker 5: It doesn't make it any better.
Speaker 3: And then you've got potential drug drops in this area
Speaker 3: and some kind of bad drug runners going up to
Speaker 3: get the drugs, find the.
Speaker 5: Kids kids, and then they got to take care of
Speaker 5: the kids because.
Speaker 3: They kill the kids and try to put them on
Speaker 3: the railroad tracks to make it look like an accident.
Speaker 3: Is this a real story?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 5: It's like a true crime file. And actually I heard
Speaker 5: about it. I don't know a whole lot about it.
Speaker 5: I was just listening at work of I think True
Speaker 5: Crime Garage covered it. Oh, we like a great podcast.
Speaker 3: We like True Crime Garage. Yeah, yeah, it's a podcast.
Speaker 3: We're not really supposed to, like, I guess, I mean,
Speaker 3: it's kind of a food pad to like give somebody
Speaker 3: else heads during your podcast about another podcast. But we
Speaker 3: love true crime garage, so kudos.
Speaker 5: To True crime Garage, even though that's a terrible story.
Speaker 3: So what do you think of story number three? It
Speaker 3: was almost as good as story number one. We don't
Speaker 3: know what any of these are so I know, but
Speaker 3: I'm just saying they were.
Speaker 4: All really good.
Speaker 2: We wouldn't pick.
Speaker 3: It if it wasn't as good as almost as good
Speaker 3: as number one.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 1: And now our grand finale, story number four, for.
Speaker 3: Sure, unless we have number five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, unless we keep going.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's just do number four.
Speaker 2: Okay, st count of three one two, three, four two
Speaker 2: number four. I think they counted three, one, three four.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: This next story is pretty creepy for a number of
Speaker 3: reasons to start off with. You know, anytime you go
Speaker 3: out camping or hiking by yourself, I mean, your your
Speaker 3: imagination is running wild anyway, especially when it's kind of
Speaker 3: creepy and it's scary and late at night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you get kind of like, yeah, especially just because
Speaker 5: you're by yourself. Yeah, like a little paranoid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and your mind can play tricks on you and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So this is one of those kind
Speaker 3: of stories. And this takes place in an area of
Speaker 3: Virginia called Sharp Top Mountain, and Sharp Top Mountain is
Speaker 3: a location in Virginia where in nineteen forty three a
Speaker 3: B twenty five bomber and there you can google this.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of you know, I just did google it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of stuff about it that, you know,
Speaker 3: you can kind of get a lot of different stories
Speaker 3: and perspectives. But basically what happened and there was a
Speaker 3: flight crew on a B twenty five that for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: flew into the side of this mountain in Virginia, Sharp
Speaker 3: Top Mountain. All of them died, they were all killed,
Speaker 3: and the wreckage was up on this Sharp Top Mountain
Speaker 3: and it's kind of a really rugged area. It's hard
Speaker 3: to get to. So when they went in, they removed
Speaker 3: the bodies of the airmen that were killed, and they
Speaker 3: took the armaments that were in the plane, but basically
Speaker 3: they left everything else. They left the fuselage, engine, everything
Speaker 3: like that up on this mountain.
Speaker 5: And yeah, when I googled, that's a big plane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big plane. Yeah, it's a huge plane,
Speaker 3: and this is nineteen forty three. There's not a lot
Speaker 3: of easy ways to get it down, so they just
Speaker 3: leave that up there, and since then it has kind
Speaker 3: of become this secret location where people can go to
Speaker 3: if you know the coordinates. It's not like it's mapped.
Speaker 3: It's not like there are trails there. I think recently,
Speaker 3: within the last probably ten fifteen years, they did put
Speaker 3: a plaque there and they made it kind of a
Speaker 3: memorial spot up on this mountain. But it's not something
Speaker 3: that's advertised really to find, right It's there's not like
Speaker 3: a trail that goes exclusively there because they don't want
Speaker 3: people going up there and pillaging and you know, taking
Speaker 3: stuff everything and you know, defiling that. It's the place
Speaker 3: where five airman died, so you're not really supposed to
Speaker 3: go up there in camp. It's kind of off limits
Speaker 3: own purpose. And our story is by a fellow let's
Speaker 3: call him Bob, and he wished to remain anonymous because
Speaker 3: legally he wasn't really supposed to go up there and
Speaker 3: camp out overnight, but he did, and this is his story.
Speaker 3: So Bob goes up there, he wants He's heard about
Speaker 3: this crash site. He's been wanting to see it for
Speaker 3: a long time. There are trails in the area close
Speaker 3: by because it's part of that Appalachian Trail chain, and
Speaker 3: so he wants to go see this crash site. And he,
Speaker 3: after doing a lot of investigation, he finds the location
Speaker 3: and he decides he's going to go up there. And
Speaker 3: he hikes up there by himself, and he ends up,
Speaker 3: you know, after a long day, he finally locates the
Speaker 3: crash site. Yeah, and by the time he gets there,
Speaker 3: it's getting dark, and he's like, oh, man, I don't
Speaker 3: want to climb down in the dark. And so I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna go ahead and I'm just gonna.
Speaker 5: Sleep up here.
Speaker 3: I've got a I've got a hammock, I've got some blankets,
Speaker 3: I've got water and stuff. I'm just gonna go ahead
Speaker 3: and stay the night and I'll head down early in
Speaker 3: the morning. So there he is, he's up on top
Speaker 3: of this this sharp top mountain in Virginia, and you know,
Speaker 3: the night is cold and it's fall and so they're
Speaker 3: like leaves on the ground and sticks and crunchy, and
Speaker 3: so he hangs a hammock up between a couple of
Speaker 3: trees right in the crash area, and he says he
Speaker 3: goes to sleep and then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 3: middle of the night, something grabs his arm and tries
Speaker 3: to pull him out of his hammock. So he's like,
Speaker 3: you know, trying to wake up, trying to fold on
Speaker 3: and not fall off out of the hammock right finding
Speaker 3: his flashlight. He finally manages to find it. He's shining
Speaker 3: around and there's nothing there. There's nobody around, there's no
Speaker 3: animals around. There wasn't any noise of light, like people
Speaker 3: stepping in the leaves and the branches, leaves, none of that.
Speaker 3: So there he is basically swinging, assaulted in his hammock,
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what the heck just happened, trying
Speaker 3: to wake flashlight around, and there's nothing but the broken
Speaker 3: pieces and fuselage of this airplane around in the middle
Speaker 3: of the night. And he said, by then, you know,
Speaker 3: the pain had all come off, so it was kind
Speaker 3: of this like silvery gray, shiny stuff in the light
Speaker 3: of night, you know, the moon, and then just creepy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So he goes ahead and he says he didn't sleep
Speaker 3: much but he ends up staying the rest of the
Speaker 3: night until light breaks and then he gets the heck.
Speaker 5: Down the mountain.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a really creepy story.
Speaker 5: Super creepy. Did he have like does he say if
Speaker 5: he had like marks or anything from it?
Speaker 3: You know, he didn't say anything about Marx, But I
Speaker 3: asked him. I said, so, you know, were you up
Speaker 3: there alone? He goes, yeah, I was up there alone.
Speaker 3: Were you drinking? You know, did you have some substance
Speaker 3: that helped contribute to your delusion?
Speaker 5: Find out any random mushrooms that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And he's like, no, I was up there, I hadn't
Speaker 3: been drinking, is by myself? And he goes, this is
Speaker 3: one thing that he said. He said he does not
Speaker 3: believe in paranormal stuff. He doesn't believe in ghosts and
Speaker 3: all that crap. He is like, you know, not a believer,
Speaker 3: but this one instance has almost got him to change
Speaker 3: his mind. Crazy because something happened, something grabbed him. Right,
Speaker 3: It wasn't an animal.
Speaker 5: It just animals don't grab the bite, right. You'd have
Speaker 5: to have a long sleeve. Maybe they could tug on
Speaker 5: your sleeve or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wonder or you know, maybe he had a
Speaker 3: dream and like he was leaning over the side of
Speaker 3: the hammock and he caught himself half unbalance and that
Speaker 3: made him kind.
Speaker 5: Of joss on the wake up, like you're falling and yeah.
Speaker 3: So I wonder about that. Yeah, but you know, for
Speaker 3: him up there alone on this mountain by himself camping.
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't understand the lure of going out by yourself camping.
Speaker 5: Right, it's kind of spooky. I like the idea of
Speaker 5: being out there and like roughing it a lot.
Speaker 3: Want somebody else, somebody that can run faster than.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, like maybe you camp in your own spot,
Speaker 5: but you wake up and see somebody. It kind of
Speaker 5: reminds me of the story of a guy I don't
Speaker 5: know where I heard it, Like maybe a friend told
Speaker 5: me by a campfire, you know, on a car ride
Speaker 5: somewhere camping or something. But he went up kind of
Speaker 5: in the same area I think, like the Pacific Northwest Whards,
Speaker 5: like kind of rainforest areas or something, and he goes
Speaker 5: up like backpacking alone. Yeah, by himself. So he's an
Speaker 5: idiot maybe maybe an idiot. So he backpacks out there
Speaker 5: quite a ways by himself, away from the trail head,
Speaker 5: no real trail feeling to where he's camping. In the story,
Speaker 5: apparently he only saw like a few people, you know,
Speaker 5: like on the on the whole trail system. No, there's
Speaker 5: no trail system, and he's like just bushwhacking.
Speaker 3: Well that's kind of like what this guy will call him, Bob.
Speaker 5: What Bob said.
Speaker 3: It's like he there were people on the trail, you know,
Speaker 3: like mile away or two miles away, but he nobody
Speaker 3: camping out like where he was. Yeah, so he was
Speaker 3: kind of alone.
Speaker 5: Like this guy is this one? He said, like during
Speaker 5: the day he used binoculars and saw some people floating
Speaker 5: down the river in kayaks. So like like even if
Speaker 5: he did see somebody, it's not like they're gonna come
Speaker 5: climb up mountain and find him.
Speaker 3: They are a ways away.
Speaker 5: But apparently he camps out on the school spot and
Speaker 5: uh goes to bed or something and attend. He comes
Speaker 5: back home after his week or weekend or whatever he does,
Speaker 5: and he gets his photos developed on his camera and
Speaker 5: on his camera like his when you know they come
Speaker 5: back like from Costco or whatever, they're like in the envelope, Yeah,
Speaker 5: like go through. There's a bunch of pictures of himself
Speaker 5: sleeping like somebody somebody and used his camera and just
Speaker 5: took pictures.
Speaker 2: I hate that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: No, that's like those stories you hear about people going
Speaker 3: to like Mexico and they leave their toothbrushes out.
Speaker 5: In the room and they.
Speaker 3: Come back and the pictures are developed and it's like
Speaker 3: their toothbrushes.
Speaker 5: Are being used molested. You described the.
Speaker 3: Toilet or in somebody's rectum.
Speaker 5: That's awful.
Speaker 3: This is not This is not a happy story time.
Speaker 5: We want more happy story time. It's a strange thing.
Speaker 5: It's weird. It is weird happy story time.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, anyway, Bob, thank you so much for sending
Speaker 3: your story.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 3: It's great. If anybody else out there has stories like
Speaker 3: this on the you know, outdoors or in the woods
Speaker 3: or whatever on the graveyard, send them in. We're gonna
Speaker 3: do these kind of podcasts occasionally in between our topic
Speaker 3: big topic discussions. We're gonna do these one offs where
Speaker 3: we talk about and share strange stories that people our
Speaker 3: listeners have had. So send them in. We love them.
Speaker 3: My story at a Strange Thing dot com and we'll
Speaker 3: keep them and if we use them we'll send you
Speaker 3: some cool swag.
Speaker 5: And I've had a trailer camera up for a couple
Speaker 5: of weeks.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I wonder what maybe on that.
Speaker 5: Maybe we'll have something strange on this.
Speaker 3: Maybe you'll see a bigfoot with somebody's toothbrush.
Speaker 5: Babe, yes, yuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go and use that one.
Speaker 5: Again, or maybe I would.
Speaker 3: All right, I don't know about you, Austin the story number.
Speaker 4: Three, No, we were three right.
Speaker 2: Number four?
Speaker 4: Remember we did one, two, three, four?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Story number four was really awesome.
Speaker 2: It was cool.
Speaker 3: We don't know what it was, but like we said earlier,
Speaker 3: it must have been awesome because we picked it. And
Speaker 3: now we are on the final conclusion, our last.
Speaker 2: Story of the night.
Speaker 3: Yes, it seems redundant, I know, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: I know. We're in the woods.
Speaker 3: We can be strange in the woods, like this podcast,
Speaker 3: a strange thing in the woods. And now for story
Speaker 3: number what is that sinko? Story number sinko or finds
Speaker 3: by drive vier fump story number fump.
Speaker 4: Fumph is the noise the deer make when they're running.
Speaker 3: We don't want to do story number six.
Speaker 4: There are too many stories.
Speaker 3: Because number six. Guess what that would be right sex.
Speaker 2: Because you're drunk.
Speaker 3: No in German finds by dry veer fump sex. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: so we don't want to tell you about our sex story,
Speaker 3: so we're gonna stop at number Well, yeah, we're number five, sinko.
Speaker 3: So our next story comes from will Niffen all the
Speaker 3: way from Lano, Texas. I think it's Alano. I mean
Speaker 3: it's lll A n O. So if you were like
Speaker 3: in Austin, maybe you would say yah no, but it's
Speaker 3: what I mean. But it's Lano, Texas. Yeah, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. And this story is pretty cool as well.
Speaker 3: So this one takes place probably you know, I'm not
Speaker 3: even sure the year. I'm guessing probably mid two thousands,
Speaker 3: maybe early two thousands, and it takes place in Lano,
Speaker 3: Texas at a at an outcropping of rock that's very
Speaker 3: famous there called the Enchanted Rock, yeah, gented Rock, and
Speaker 3: if you get online you google it. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of history, a lot of legends there. It's kind of
Speaker 3: a cool. It's it's like, you know, the area looks
Speaker 3: pretty flat or like rolling hills, but in this one
Speaker 3: area there's like this big jutting up of rounded rock
Speaker 3: kind of like a dome, and it's shaped kind of
Speaker 3: like a half of a peanut, and it's just kind
Speaker 3: of poking up in the air. It's like this rock
Speaker 3: and rock crevice structures, and it's it's large and fairly tall,
Speaker 3: and it's just kind of famous.
Speaker 5: It's a it's a landmark.
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of history there, legends about like
Speaker 3: a guy who the Comanche Indians stole his wife and
Speaker 3: they they were going up there and we're going to
Speaker 3: sacrifice her to the spirits upon this rock so that
Speaker 3: they could basically be free of evil spirits or something.
Speaker 3: And this guy gets his rifle and he runs up
Speaker 3: there and he ends up taking it on all of
Speaker 3: the Comanches and fights them and and his victorious and
Speaker 3: rescues his wife and saves it.
Speaker 5: Sounds like a movie about hauntings or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's got a long history of weird stuff,
Speaker 3: a lot of legends about like the spirits that are
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, not benevolent, they're actually kind of
Speaker 3: naughty spirits up in that area.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, like all young boys want to do, of course,
Speaker 3: they want to go camp out someplace weird like that.
Speaker 3: So Will and a few of his friends. There's probably
Speaker 3: six or seven of him.
Speaker 5: He says.
Speaker 3: They decide they're going to go camp up Enchanted Rock.
Speaker 3: And it was towards the end of fall, getting towards winter,
Speaker 3: and it was kind of cold outside. And so they're
Speaker 3: in this big tent, all of them, and they're playing cards,
Speaker 3: playing like.
Speaker 5: Pokers, staying warm.
Speaker 3: They're playing cards in the tent with their flashlights at
Speaker 3: night in the cold, okay. And while they're playing cards,
Speaker 3: they noticed that the zipper of the tent is slowly
Speaker 3: inching down. Yeah, these like young sixties.
Speaker 5: Like is this a commonplace? Where did they like hike
Speaker 5: through camp spot or like people?
Speaker 3: Well, I get it's a it's a kind of a
Speaker 3: national monument, I guess, or not national monument camps. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think there's a state park there. So there are
Speaker 3: camp sites and there are trails you can hike all
Speaker 3: over this thing. So they're there and the tent zipper
Speaker 3: starts going down. And one thing I will say. He
Speaker 3: says that when they got there, they didn't see any
Speaker 3: other campers. They were kind of alone, right, So they're
Speaker 3: out there alone in their tent, playing cards in the
Speaker 3: light of flashlights and the zipper comes down, and then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, this woman's head, white woman's head
Speaker 3: in a white dress, pokes shrew into their tent and
Speaker 3: kind of just looking at them awkwardly, you know, and
Speaker 3: they're all like, what's going on? And after a minute,
Speaker 3: one of the boys gets brave enough and he says
Speaker 3: something like can we help you? And the woman says,
Speaker 3: do you know where my camp is? And they're like,
Speaker 3: uh uh no, we don't know where your camp is,
Speaker 3: and kind of awkward silence, weirdness, and then the lady
Speaker 3: backs out, the zipper goes back up on the tent
Speaker 3: from the outside, and then silence, and they're all sitting
Speaker 3: there in awkward silence, wondering what in the heck just happened,
Speaker 3: And finally they get brave enough somebody unzips it and
Speaker 3: starts to look, you know, outside, They zip it down,
Speaker 3: look outside, and there is no one there, there's no
Speaker 3: campers around, there's nothing. And this this woman that had
Speaker 3: unzipped their tent was wearing a white dress. She had
Speaker 3: white hair and very pale, very ghostly. Yeah, and she
Speaker 3: wasn't wearing shoes. And this is towards winters, so you know,
Speaker 3: It's Texas, so it's probably not like frigid, you know,
Speaker 3: sub zero went you know weather.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's cold.
Speaker 3: You would not be walking around in a white dress
Speaker 3: and bare feet, especially if you're a skinny white woman.
Speaker 3: I mean you have no meat, no insulation, no blubber. Right,
Speaker 3: So they're all weirded out by this, and I asked him,
Speaker 3: I said, so did you guys, did you guys manage
Speaker 3: to stay the rest of the night or did you
Speaker 3: get freaked out and just go home? Because I would
Speaker 3: have been out of there so fast as a teenager man.
Speaker 3: If if somebody, I'd be like, I'm gone, I'm out.
Speaker 5: Do you think she'll come back?
Speaker 2: Why would she hot?
Speaker 3: No, an old white woman in a wedding her white dress,
Speaker 3: I guess not. But apparently she didn't come back. They
Speaker 3: ended up going home. But it's been something that they
Speaker 3: have talked about for, you know, ever since that happened.
Speaker 3: It's now etched in their memory. So when when he
Speaker 3: told me this story, I got online to start doing
Speaker 3: some research on this area, and there is legend that
Speaker 3: I think kind of ties into it. So the legend
Speaker 3: goes that some Comanche warriors abducted stole a white woman
Speaker 3: from somewhere around that area, and as they were carrying
Speaker 3: her off, she managed to escape and she ran to
