I 16 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.480 was at my son's home in Eatonville, Washington. It was 17 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.400 evening September twenty seventeen. We were sitting around the fire 18 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.840 in the yard, just enjoying the evening, and out of nowhere, 19 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.719 a horrific cry ripped through the night. 20 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:40.560 It really did. It was a very. 21 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:50.079 Long, extended, in powerful cry, and I swear I could 22 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.120 feel the vibrations of it going through my body and 23 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.560 through my feet. Now there are four of us sitting 24 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.920 around this fire pit. We were all talking and chatting 25 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.719 and silence, not even the dogs bark hearing that. And 26 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.039 it continued and it kept going and going. By the 27 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.879 fourth time, I had no clue what I was listening to. 28 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.240 And I looked at everybody and I said, what is that? 29 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.319 What is making that sound? I've never heard an animal 30 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.919 sound like that, and there's no way a human being 31 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.639 could be that powerful. My daughter in law, just as 32 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.919 calm as could be, who grew up in the Eatonville 33 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:47.680 span Away area, said, it's a bigfoot, you know, Sasquash. Now, 34 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.800 my mom is Native American, she was Blackfoot. We had 35 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.800 a lot of stories rampires of Sasquash. As a kid, 36 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:04.000 I always thought it was literally a mystical animal, mystical. 37 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.280 I grew up in Washington, y'all hear the stories about 38 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.560 bigfoot in Sasquash. But to hear it, I was like, 39 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.120 I was skeptical. I really was. I wasn't really sure 40 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.919 that's exactly what it was, but I knew I'd never 41 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.840 heard it before, and I blew that off. A year later, 42 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.680 I'm driving to my son's house to babysit. It really 43 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.000 was a year later. It was August of twenty seventeen. 44 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.719 I was about seven minutes from my home on Highway 45 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:47.400 seven oh two. 46 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.840 I was coming up a hill. 47 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.439 At the crest of it, there is a little convenience 48 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.240 store on the right hand side of the road with 49 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.319 a GigE antiqu fir tree at the entrance to their driveway. 50 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.520 I could see the store parking lot. It was lit up. 51 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.759 Everything was lit up. 52 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.240 My first thought was somebody finally put in a floodlight here. 53 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.560 It's a dangerous intersection. But looking into the parking lot 54 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.079 of the CCPT the country store, it wasn't coming from them. 55 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.439 That light wasn't there. There was a sasquash standing right 56 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:44.399 next to that tree. He was just standing there. At 57 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.879 this point, I my foot was off of the gas. 58 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:53.120 I'm going uphill right, I'm tapping my brake. I'm not 59 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.720 sure of what's going on here. He stepped away from 60 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:04.720 that tree in one step. It was probably it's probably 61 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.160 a good five plus feet from that tree over the 62 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.399 ditch to the side of the road. I had come 63 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.639 to a full stop. I hadn't completely crested the hill. 64 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.240 I was right at the precipice of it. It was 65 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.959 still brightly lit. He took another step that put him 66 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.000 directly in front of our truck. This is an old 67 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:38.480 nineteen nineties F two fifty. The hood comes to my shoulders. 68 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.639 I'm five foot five. Okay, he was so close to 69 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.240 my truck. If he had just tilted to his left, 70 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.079 he'd been leaning on it, that's how close he was. 71 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.120 I squeaked my head up over the steering wheel, and 72 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:02.560 I'm looking up and up going through that tinty area 73 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.600 of that windshield, and he is looking at me. 74 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.959 He was beautiful. 75 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:18.839 His face, just his face looked like a human face 76 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.240 with a shorter forehead, thicker brow ridge. His eyebrows did 77 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:34.000 not connect. His hair was brown towards the scalp in 78 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.879 his skin. 79 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.279 And I say hair because it wasn't fur. Okay. The 80 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.040 hair came over his shoulders. I did not see any ears. 81 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.920 It just barely brushed his shoulders in the back of 82 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.920 his neck, so I didn't see the neck either. 83 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.839 In the front. His lips were wide. 84 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.480 They were very thin, but it was a I mean 85 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.600 white as a white mouth with thin lips. The hair 86 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.040 on his cheekbones was very sparse. The look between his 87 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.879 little squinty his eye as he looked at me, Because 88 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.480 he turned his head and looked at me as I 89 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:19.399 was looking at him. His eyes were amber and they glowed. 90 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.480 I don't know how they glowed. My headlights didn't reach 91 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.720 his head. I don't even know how I saw all 92 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.759 of him that I saw to this day. I could 93 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.519 see light coming through the ends of his hair. I 94 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.519 can understand why people think they disappear, because the ends 95 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:47.319 of his hair looked like it was fluorescent. The hair 96 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.519 on his body, it was translucent. That's the word I'm 97 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.439 looking for. The hair on his arms was about four 98 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.360 inches long. It looked like somebody had brushed him. There 99 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.439 was no odor. The truck wouldn't it was open. In fact, 100 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.000 I hung my head out the window because his next 101 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.680 step he was still looking at me, and his next 102 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.600 step took him from in front of my truck over 103 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:16.759 the center line and close to the edge of the road. 104 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:21.360 He still had one foot on the road. Okay. I 105 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:30.279 could see every muscle, every muscle, the rippling of the 106 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:37.120 motion as he moved, just that look from the abdomen up. 107 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.840 It was hips up in front of my truck. So 108 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.080 his legs had to be up to the hips about 109 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.279 five feet long. 110 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:53.840 I he had to be nine feet tall. He was huge. 111 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.399 The muscles that rippled around his body put incredible hulk 112 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:04.039 to shame. I could see the straiations of the muscle 113 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:09.240 bands and I lost key of his abdominal muscles. 114 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.000 At eight. 115 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.720 There was more to go, but he was no longer 116 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.279 in front of me to keep counting. Then I got 117 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.919 to see his backside and the muscles that wrapped around 118 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.360 from his chest and his shoulders all the way down 119 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.519 his back. He did have hair on his back, it 120 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.320 wasn't really thick. The hair on the back of his 121 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.159 buttocks and the back of his thighs was sparse. The 122 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.919 hair on his inner arms was almost nonexistent. He had 123 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.759 the longer hair on the outer portion of his arms. 124 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.240 On his thighs, there was longer hair on the front. 125 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:54.840 There was. 126 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:03.759 Almost no hair on the front of his calves. Behind 127 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.399 the calves there was quite a bit of hair. The 128 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.279 top of his feet was very sparsely haired. The bottoms 129 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.039 of his feet were ashy gray, like the palms of 130 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:20.320 his hands. He took his third step that took him 131 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.799 off of the road. He went over the top of 132 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:29.200 another ditch and was on an embankment to an open pasture. 133 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:36.360 This pasture, it was just an open ground with some 134 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.960 brush and some short trees that butted up to the 135 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.519 forest that's there. There is a church that was on 136 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:50.480 the other side of that pasture he headed. 137 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.759 There was a trail. 138 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.559 I saw this later on in the day, but there 139 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:59.440 was a trail that goes up and into where that 140 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:06.720 pasture was and goes across the pasture, and that is 141 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.799 the trail that I watched him walk. 142 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.759 He walked towards the church and I saw him do 143 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:14.360 all of this. 144 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:21.000 At this point, I had taken my foot off the 145 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.879 break I was rolling up. It's a high idol on 146 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.039 that truck. I rolled up to the crest of the hill. 147 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.559 There's an intersection. 148 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.600 I stopped. 149 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.480 I could see him At the end of the church 150 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:42.759 parking lot, about twenty feet from the woodline. A semi 151 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:50.039 truck went past. Everything was gone. The light was gone, 152 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.879 he was gone. Everything was gone. And I think to myself, 153 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:02.000 all that light came from that semi. I haven't seen 154 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.720 any that do that yet, but that's my explanation for 155 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.000 how well lit up it was. 156 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:12.240 That would also just happened fast in my head. 157 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:17.960 I could see his hair flowing on his arms as 158 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.519 he walked. 159 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:26.159 It was beautiful. He was beautiful. 160 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:32.200 I felt no threat, just complete awe. And when he 161 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:37.320 turned his head and looked at me, because my impression 162 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.080 was this. 163 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.559 Is what. 164 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:49.799 God made men to look like, amazing and spectacular, just 165 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.080 the raw beauty of that male physique. 166 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.759 And he looked at me, and that's I swear there 167 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.480 was a smirk. 168 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.360 He could read what was going on in my head. 169 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.840 I don't believe I said it out loud. I could have, 170 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:11.320 but I don't think I did. I thought about following him, 171 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:17.159 I hesitated. I just sat there at that intersection for 172 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.279 a few seconds. 173 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.799 And that okay, I gotta go babysit. 174 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.279 I get to my son's house, and I didn't know 175 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.879 if I was even going to tell anybody, but my 176 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.759 daughter in law had told me that's a bigfoot, that's 177 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:42.279 a sasquash. So she was who I told. She grew 178 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.879 up in the area. I didn't know. 179 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.360 How far her thoughts went on this. 180 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.480 And she laughed and immediately said, hey, jar, I guess what. 181 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:52.720 Your mom saw. 182 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.000 Now. I'm the hippie nana, and I do look at things, 183 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.879 and I do see things differently. I get into trouble 184 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.080 a lot, but it's nothing bad. I'm not a bad person. 185 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.360 Everybody else I told about it, though, just teased me. 186 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:17.759 My husband. They were like, well, were you drinking, you know, 187 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.080 at three o'clock in the morning before I go babysit. 188 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.360 I don't think so, that's not going to happen, But 189 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.279 everybody raised me about it. To this day, I'm still 190 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:33.919 teased very heavily about it. A week later, driving home, 191 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.720 it's towards evening, probably about six pm, reverse from my 192 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:50.279 son's house to mine, there was a female standing almost 193 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.080 in the same zone, within fifty feet of where I 194 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.000 had seen that male cross. She was red, She had 195 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.519 large breasts, they hung down over her abdomen. Her hair 196 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.039 looked clean, she had her arms behind her. I was 197 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.440 going like fifty miles an hour. If she hadn't turned 198 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.279 her head, and if I hadn't been lucky, because I 199 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.559 was obsessed at this point. I had seen something there, 200 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.679 and I still continue to look in that area on 201 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:33.720 a regular basis. I looked there she was, she turned 202 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.559 her head. It was like she was watching traffic on 203 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.879 at that time of day seven on two is pretty busy, 204 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.840 and I thought, why would she even try to. 205 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:46.120 Cross this time of day? 206 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.679 And then you know my thought after that, because I 207 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.759 just kept going, you don't want to hold everybody up. 208 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.200 They get very angry, and I thought, well, she could 209 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.399 probably cross that road in three steps, just like you did. 210 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.440 These Kauds are gigantic. 211 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:11.879 They are so big, so fast forward. 212 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.960 Where I live. 213 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:23.000 Is in a residential neighborhood on the Nisqually River in Yelm. 214 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.879 I have a piece of property that has about a 215 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:36.399 fifty foot cliff that drops into the NISQUALLYA river. Across 216 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.000 from me. 217 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:43.919 Is JB. Lamb Acreage. It's a forest service area. 218 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:49.559 I guess I have never heard them over there doing 219 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:51.799 war games or practicing. 220 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.200 Occasionally. 221 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.919 I think they land on the other side of all 222 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.279 of the trees and they're choppers and practice going up 223 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:08.480 and down. The land over there has a nice sandy beach. 224 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.119 There are trails that go back into the trees that 225 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.279 I have noticed and seen, but I didn't really pay 226 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:26.359 attention to them. I kept getting rocks thrown at my cliff. 227 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:29.400 Big rocks. 228 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.720 I mean like if a human hand were to pick 229 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:39.079 up a full rock to fill their hand and throw it. 230 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.680 I have an area of my cliff that slid into 231 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.319 the river during a flood. It is nothing but rocks 232 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.599 through there, so if you hit a rock, you're going 233 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.920 to hit a big boulder if you throw one over there, 234 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.200 and they just bounce down, so I can hear them 235 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.160 bouncing down. At first, I thought it was the neighbor 236 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.799 kids just throwing rocks and irritating my dogs, because my 237 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.960 dogs kept running over into the north east corner of 238 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:18.000 my yard losing their minds, and I honestly thought it 239 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.640 was just obnoxious children. When those people moved out and 240 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.160 I got new neighbors and I still continued to get 241 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.759 the rocks, I thought, well, okay, I kind of paid 242 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:36.559 attention to it. And then I in the warmer weather, 243 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.519 I'm outside in the evenings. Many times I'll spend the 244 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.279 night outside in my in my yard on a cot, 245 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.160 either with myself or my grandchildren, and I could hear 246 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:57.799 rocks being thrown into the river, big splashes in the rear. 247 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:02.400 It'd wake me up at three o'clock in the morning 248 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:12.480 and here chattering and laughter. But there's nobody down there. 249 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.839 There is no way there's anybody down there. I hadn't 250 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:24.599 seen anybody down there ever, but I could hear a 251 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.240 group down there that kind of sounded like they were 252 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.680 trying to kill the fish with a rock. I'm not 253 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.440 gonna lie. If I were hungry and I had to 254 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.160 kill a big salmon it was going up river, that 255 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.039 would work. 256 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.799 Because it just. 257 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:46.119 Kept happening and happening, and I guess we had a 258 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.079 good salmon run that year. But I could smell the 259 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:56.599 dead fish completely out of my neighborhood, which is two 260 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:03.440 miles out from the river. Smell that fish pulling into 261 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:04.319 my community. 262 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:06.079 It was horrible. 263 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.640 It's the only year we've had it like that, And 264 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:15.160 I thought, is there like something over there that's doing 265 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.039 fishing and eating and stuff. At this point, I've heard 266 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:28.799 tree knocks, whistles, owl calls, temper tantrums, chattering. One time 267 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:35.920 there was a huge celebration, that's all I could call it, 268 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:43.680 but evening it started with some rhythmic sounds like drum 269 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:53.440 and just a lot of folks talking in a foreign language, 270 00:20:54.079 --> 00:21:00.759 like a native Spanish dialect. That's all I can come 271 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.599 up with. But I could hear it. 272 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.359 It was loud. 273 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:12.359 I just didn't understand what was being said. A bit later, 274 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:19.240 I could hear chanting and singing, and that went way 275 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:25.480 into the night, and I accepted, I've got them back there. 276 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.440 I know they're over there. 277 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:35.359 It was about this time that I finally decided to 278 00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:42.480 talk with someone, and I contacted the BFRO. They put 279 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:47.400 me in touch with Scott Taylor, who came and met 280 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.880 with me out in front of the store where I 281 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:59.039 had seen the sasquash standing and the female the sighting. 282 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.359 I went through everything with him and told him what 283 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.079 I had seen, and he did feel it was credible 284 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.279 just on my description of what I had seen. 285 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.319 My thought at that time was. 286 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:26.079 Okay, maybe he will believe me when I tell him 287 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.839 I think I've got them trying to get my attention 288 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:38.559 in my backyard. He advised that I put out apples 289 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.680 or peanut butter. He said they love peanut butter. So 290 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:47.000 I decided to go home and try it. I took 291 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.319 a brain new jar of peanut butter. I peeled the 292 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.480 lid off of that that wrap. I set that out 293 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.359 with the lid screwed back on, not tight, but screwed 294 00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:59.920 on fully. 295 00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.160 Just to see what would happen. 296 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.759 I did a couple of rock clicks because I had 297 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:16.799 noticed over repetition they would usually throw two rocks or 298 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:25.440 cunk kunk two rocks. Then I would hear owl, hoots, 299 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:34.079 and whistles and clicking. Now, this is right on the 300 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:39.119 other side of my fence, on the cliff side, in 301 00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.519 a bunch of brush and bushes, very close to my home. 302 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.680 Where I'm at my yard. 303 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.279 There is a trail that used to go, well, there 304 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.039 used to be a trail that went from that bunch 305 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.559 of brush into my backyard. 306 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.720 I'm sorry, that was a rabbit trail. 307 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.920 Anyways, I assumed that they were coming up there through 308 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.839 that trail, and they were always trying to get my attention, 309 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.440 and that's where I would hear most of the sounds 310 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:16.720 that they made. 311 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.079 Was over there. 312 00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.799 The next morning, when I did get up, I had 313 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.839 to go check because I was in a hurry, and 314 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:33.720 they had scooped out a scoop of peanut butter and 315 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:40.880 set the lid back on it. There were actual finger 316 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.039 grooves in that jar peanut butter that wasn't from a squirrel, 317 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.680 that wasn't from a raccoon, And none of them could 318 00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:56.279 have opened that lid and put it back on one. 319 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:01.160 I believed at that point, they're definitely there, and perhaps 320 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:05.079 they are communicating and we can do this together. 321 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.599 So I set out apples for them. 322 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:13.839 The next night, my husband had a piece of leftover cake. 323 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.119 Once I put that out there, I. 324 00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:22.240 Eventually learned that they love eggs, apples, peanut butter, and 325 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:29.480 sweets of any kind. Vegetables, the squashes they wouldn't eat. 326 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.640 The carrots they did not like carrots. Beets, yes, I 327 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.319 could pull them straight out of the garden give them 328 00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:40.039 to them. Berries with the eggs. It was a bit odd. 329 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.839 They would take the eggs out of the cartons and 330 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:44.720 leave me the cartons. 331 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:46.839 It is odd. 332 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.440 It's not a raccoon standing there eating them. Because I 333 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:57.680 didn't have any eggshells, just an empty egg carton. With 334 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:01.000 the apples, I would always get one gift back to me. 335 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.880 I continued to hear all of their activity and their 336 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.559 talking and their laughter and their chatter. One day, when 337 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.279 I was sitting out taking a break from yard work, 338 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:22.640 I looked over on the little sandy beach where I 339 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:24.039 felt that's where. 340 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:25.240 The juvenile played. 341 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.960 I don't know how I knew that there was a juvenile, 342 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.359 but I was sure there was one, and I saw him. 343 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:39.400 He was picking up over the edge of a giant 344 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:44.799 tree that had washed down river. At some point, his 345 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.880 little head was peeking over it, and I could see him, 346 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.720 and he's looking at me, and I'm thinking, am I 347 00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:56.000 really seeing this? He was black, his hair was short. 348 00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.119 It looked like it was just stubby all around his 349 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:04.519 head and on his body. He looked about a large 350 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:10.880 five year old I would estimate, I think there from 351 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.559 where I sit to where he was, probably maybe one 352 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:20.880 hundred feet across the river. I could see, but not 353 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:26.440 real well any distinguishing features like his nose or anything 354 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:27.119 like that. 355 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:34.400 He just stayed there where he was. I turned my head. 356 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.720 And then I turned my head back to see if 357 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.319 he would duck down, but he was peeking out from 358 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:47.160 a tree. It's about five feet from where that tree 359 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.480 stump was, and I could see he's just peeking out, 360 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.920 little heads poking out, looking at me. And I continued 361 00:27:55.960 --> 00:28:00.359 to sit where I was singing to the radio watching him. 362 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.440 I turned my head. He'd run to the back of 363 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.960 the tree stump. We were playing hide and seek without 364 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.359 the hands. He would wait until I wasn't looking, and 365 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.039 then he'd move. 366 00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.039 It was a game. 367 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.640 We played that game for a good twenty minutes before 368 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.720 I had to go cook dinner. I never tried to 369 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:27.400 video anybody. Scott Taylor had warned me. They don't like cameras, 370 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.319 they don't like security lights. 371 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.039 One night they came in early. 372 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:42.240 Normally my dogs will alert me when they're on that 373 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:47.960 property there. They just act in a very specific way 374 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.000 that would let me know there was something going on 375 00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:57.039 out in the yard. Generally between one to three am 376 00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:58.359 is when I would. 377 00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:59.440 Have most activity. 378 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.039 I believe that was when they were coming up on 379 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.039 my property and getting oneever food I had left for them. 380 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.240 They would leave me golf balls, believe it or not, 381 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:16.240 golf balls. I couldn't figure out why I kept having 382 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:23.079 all these golf balls. They were everywhere. But it finally 383 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:24.640 got to where they would leave him right next to 384 00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:27.119 my gate. At first, I. 385 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:31.559 Think they were throwing them at my home. You'd hear clunking. 386 00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.160 It wasn't unusual to have him throw rocks at the 387 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.519 house if I didn't have food out for them. I 388 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.559 think it was their way of letting me, letting me 389 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:47.680 know we're here. Do you have anything? I think? But anyways, 390 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:50.200 the night that they showed up early, it was about 391 00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:54.759 eleven PM. I was already in bed and the dogs 392 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.839 they behaved abnormally. They are usually snuggled up in ridges. 393 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.559 So I just opened the door, thinking they had to 394 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:07.759 do a late night run, and I lock. 395 00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.359 They run straight for the fence where the gate is. 396 00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:15.359 I turned on my light that's on the porch, and 397 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.799 I've got floodlights on my porch, which I kept off 398 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.519 because they don't like the floodlights. But I flipped it on, 399 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:23.960 not thinking that they were going to be out there. 400 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.920 There was one out there. She was standing next to 401 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.759
