00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And once you hit the.

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 3>Ground like, I didn't see any cars.

10
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>All I saw was my dog coming over the fence.

<v Speaker 1>I'm out there?

<v Speaker 3>Tonight, we're heading back into the frozen wilderness of Alaska.

25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Joining me once again is Fred from the Subarctic Alaska

26
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Sasquatch YouTube channel. If you've heard Fred before, you already

27
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>know his experiences don't sound like campfire stories. They sound

28
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 3>like first hand survival moments pulled straight from one of

29
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>the most unforgiving landscapes on Earth, and if this is

30
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 3>your first time hearing him, buckle up. Fred is back

31
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 3>to share more wild encounters from deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

32
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Moments that challenge logic, test fear, and blur the line

33
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 3>between what we're told as possible and what might actually

34
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 3>be out there. And if you want even more of

35
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Fred's encounter stories, be sure to head over to his

40
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Fred in Alaska.

41
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Greeting's this fread and Alaska. Thanks for joining me today.

42
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>It's been a minute. I want to thank all those

43
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>who have reached out in regards to my dad's passing,

44
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 2>sending your condolences. It means a lot and I sincerely

45
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. What I wanted to share with you today

46
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>comes from James. We'll call him Junior though, okay, because

47
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>he's a junior to a senior. James and his uncle

48
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Oscar had a.

49
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Very messed up encounter.

50
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>It's going on six years ago now, and so I

51
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>got to give you a little bit of the backstory.

52
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>So James's uncle, Oscar, and James's dad, James Senior, inherited

53
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 2>this piece of native allotment from their parents. So in context,

54
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the parents only went to this property by themselves.

55
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>It was their getaway. They did bring any other family.

56
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>It was their solitude away from everything, growing up and everything.

57
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>James was the elder of Oscar.

58
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>The two brothers, there was a certain level of resentment

59
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>because they weren't allowed to go. And so once their

60
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>dad got ill and everything and ended up passing, of

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>course it went on to mom. And then when their

62
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>mom was getting ill, the issue of the property came

63
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>up and it was to be in a combined thing

64
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>between the two brothers, James and Oscar. James being the elder,

65
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>he still had a little bit of the resentment. But

66
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>looking back, their mom before she passed, had laid out, Hey,

67
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>this particular property, there's some things that had happened while

68
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>we're out there.

69
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Be aware. It's not a very nice place.

70
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>It's how she would put it, but would never expound

71
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 2>on it or elaborate.

72
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You know why exactly.

73
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>She was saying that they inherited the land, they did

74
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>nothing with it.

75
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>For a number of years, it.

76
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Got to where Oscar kept coming to James Senior and saying, hey,

77
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>let's build a cabin together. Let's do this, James Seniors,

78
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what, my son can have the property with you.

79
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I wanted one to do it because he's still wrong

80
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 1>or indifferent.

81
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>He held certain resentments of not being allowed to go there.

82
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 1>So therefore is I want one to do it, So

83
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>be it teach his own.

84
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>So Oscar the uncle because at this point in time

85
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>when he said I'm going to give it to my son,

86
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>James said that James was too young to do quat.

87
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It's this little kid toddler.

88
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Really, Over the years, Oscar started making improvements on it.

89
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 1>He couldn't just drive up to it.

90
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 2>It was like twenty some plus miles by either very

91
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>horrible four wheeler trail.

92
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Or snow machine ride in the winter.

93
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>So what he ended up doing is making trail, doing

94
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>little bits of improvements here and there, clearing out some

95
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>of the woods.

96
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>For the most part, it was heavily wooded property. Slopes.

97
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>It had variations in the geography. It wasn't just swampland

98
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>or anything, but the far end, the far north end,

99
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>where he essentially decided to build the cabin. The far

100
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>north end, the last ten acres or so was like

101
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>went from up on a moderately solid hillside type deal

102
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>and it flattened out onto the muskeg and it had

103
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>some black spruce and it opened up into a tundra

104
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 2>and basically muskeg and swampy. Over time, he ended up

105
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>getting a caribou cabin and this is basically imagine a

106
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 2>dried end shell of basically a shed, and he ordered it.

107
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>It was a fourteen by sixteen.

108
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>The kit came with two windows, a door, and all

109
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>the fixens and the trusses to build this little thing

110
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>with all the floor joists and everything right.

111
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 1>It was this complete kit. And so he got it.

112
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>And where he positioned it was on that far north

113
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>end of the property.

114
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>There's a little bit of a rise where.

115
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 2>The top of the rises about twenty feet above the

116
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>ground where he wanted to place this one.

117
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>And so he put in the pilings.

118
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>He used sauna tubes and quick crete to make the

119
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 2>footings and whatnot.

120
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Built it elevated up.

121
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 2>It was elevated three foot off that backside, and then

122
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>it was up to about not quite four foot to

123
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>the outer side of it. So when you're facing this cabin,

124
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>initially the door was to the far left with some

125
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>small steps to get in and out. Then off to

126
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>the further to the left was that it ran parallel

127
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>with this rise, and it was a ridge twenty foot

128
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>difference between where you're standing at the bottom and where

129
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>it is at the top. And it was lightly wooded

130
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and enough to where he wanted it right there, so

131
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>any runoff ran away from the cabin. It was strategic.

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>He was just looking at it. Okay, went a run off,

133
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want it to cause poblems. It runs parallel

134
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>with this rise. And then on the back side, if

135
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 2>you're standing in the front, the trail in wraps around

136
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>like a jay and it just runs straight for good

137
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>distance before it kind of dog legs back and forth

138
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 2>getting back out. He gets this cabin in there. Initially

139
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing squooky, nothing crazy. He found it too small.

140
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>So what it ended up doing was getting another kit

141
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>identical to it, combining them, so it essentially it became

142
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight foot wide sixteen foot and it was basically

143
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the initial one he put up, he converted that into

144
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 2>two bedrooms, had access put them together. So the new

145
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 2>one he added in was of course higher off the

146
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>ground because it sloped a way, and so it was

147
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>a little more elevated, and he skirted it all in

148
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 2>and when he went in, he moved the door from

149
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the one side, covered that up, blocked it up, and

150
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>moved the door to where he had an arctic injury.

151
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So when you stepped inside, he built the wall where

152
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>he had basically a mudroom, to where all the winter

153
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 2>clothes can stay out there and you can go in

154
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>without tracking snow everywhere.

155
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Right, so when you get.

156
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Inside woodstove right there, right off to the right, when

157
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you come in, the little doorway into the one other

158
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>side where it was converted to the two bedrooms, one

159
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 2>on this end and one on the far end. The

160
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>one on the far end was Oscar's room, and it

161
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 2>was divided evenly as far as the space, and in

162
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>between that woodstove and the doorway into that initial bedroom

163
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>was the table against the inner wall. And then once

164
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you get back into the corner there's the kitchen area.

165
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a sink with a bit of a drain graywater whatever.

166
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>It just ran basically to outside. Everything skirted in. So

167
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>what Oscar ended up doing is creating a hatch inside

168
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the floor of this second addition to where he can

169
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>go down, and he had a compartment area for batteries

170
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and a generator so he can do it from all

171
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 2>inside because it gets really cold. This particular area, we'll

172
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>just say it is in the interior. We'll just leave

173
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>it at that for anonymity, but not necessarily the location

174
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>is the behaviors involved prior to that.

175
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 1>I try to focus on for people to understand.

176
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 2>So he had a pretty slick and over the years

177
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>of developing it and fine tuning everything, he had a

178
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 2>nice battery bank on pallets he can go down, fire

179
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>up the generator. He had everything wired that he needed,

180
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 2>outlets inside lamps, that type of stuff. Right. He even

181
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>had dug a four foot hole he put up basically

182
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a pine pole pine log that he stripped the bark

183
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>and then one end he like quadruple painted it just

184
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>for waterproofing essentially, and then buried it, packed it down

185
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>and he ran wire to it and had some of

186
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 2>these look like street lamp fifty watt high pressure sodium

187
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>shits you can get from Walmart or wherever.

188
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>He had two of them up there to where when.

189
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>They got dark, it had the sensors and they would

190
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>pop on if he was running the generator or whatnot.

191
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>And he can also work it with the switch inside,

192
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and so he'd have work light outside when he was

193
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>getting dark. And it was about twenty feet going out

194
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the door directly off the little small porches.

195
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Twenty feet right off to the.

196
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Right, and there's a pole with the lights right when

197
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>you're looking out the front of this place. So from inside,

198
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>let's say you're walking in the Arctic entry. You're inside

199
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>the second inside door. You get in there and there's

200
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be an immediate window to your left, and

201
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, about six feet from the corner down on

202
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the end, there's another window. They're identical, four foot by

203
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>five foot, no openings. There's a window in each room

204
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 2>that slide open, vinyl type windows. So those are the

205
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>windows you have. And then at the far end, you

206
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>got yourself a counter, a place where a fridge he

207
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 2>hasn't put in yet, a makeshift sink, and storage and

208
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>cupboards and whatnot. And then you got the table in

209
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>between the two bedroom doors. And then the wood stove,

210
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and then immediately to your left on the inside, he

211
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>had various forms of storage chainsaw on, just little old

212
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 2>oil crates and things like that to store stuff, and

213
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>they all just sat underneath the windows and whatnot, and

214
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>the windows were each about three foot off the floor.

215
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>That's basically the layout right now, years have gone by,

216
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>nothing has happened, right, and so what he ended up

217
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>doing is because there's two roofs, what he ended up

218
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>doing was running basically joyce from one roof line to

219
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 2>the other like this to where they eventual combined. And

220
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>then internally he had the two separate roofs, but from

221
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>the outside he put tin roofing and all that, so

222
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>it was just one roof but essentially there was two

223
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 2>roofs underneath.

224
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 1>It was put together.

225
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 2>So approximately six years ago, it was in November. It

226
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>was frozen up enough to where he could take the

227
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>four wheeler one last time before snowfall and everything where

228
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>he'd have to worry about snow machine.

229
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 1>So he comes on in there.

230
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>When he comes in, he noticed that there's something off,

231
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>something just didn't feel right, because he's been going out

232
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>there religiously off and on like several times a year

233
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>making improvements down they're living there, so he could since

234
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 2>something was off.

235
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>It was real odd, and he got there late in

236
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon.

237
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't too far before sunset, right, and so he

238
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>did his thing. He fired up the generator and made

239
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.519
<v Speaker 2>sure the batteries were good. He went through all his checklists,

240
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 2>made sure there was firewood inside and everything was good.

241
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Between where the light pole is and the side of

242
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the house, if you're standing alongside the house from the

243
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>you're looking in that direction. Directly from that light hule

244
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 2>is a small shed and in that small shed is

245
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 2>where he kept things like spare fuel, in the excess

246
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>snowmobile parts, four wheeler parts, that kind of stuff, because

247
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>he initially kept it in the cabin, but it would

248
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>add up clutter so quickly he just found a better spot.

249
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 2>That and his little trap door that goes to underneath

250
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the place. He had storage under there too, but is

251
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 2>a cold storage and the trap door he had made

252
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 2>to access underneath. You got to understand from what he

253
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>was saying, the skirting he put on this place was

254
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>very It wasn't just flimsy. It was basically framed in skirting,

255
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>very solid and weather treated to where it wouldn't just

256
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>dry rot over.

257
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>A couple of seasons.

258
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.679
<v Speaker 2>It was stout because he didn't want it easily pushed

259
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>in by snow or snow coming off the roofline causing

260
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>a problem. He thought ahead on it, but it was

261
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>cold storage under there. It was no heat outside of

262
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>having the door open or whatever. So where he had

263
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 2>his generator set up, he had an exhaust port to

264
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 2>where the exhaust goes outside and it doesn't kill everyone

265
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 2>indoors anyway. With that shed and everything, he pulls around

266
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's looking at the shed and it just seemed odd.

267
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>It was like it had been shifted, like it set

268
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 2>oled or something during freestyle or something, and it just

269
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 2>wasn't sitting right. So he goes over and he's inspecting,

270
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and of course he's armed.

271
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Right, it was late fall.

272
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>He had just assumed there was no bears around, so

273
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>he only brought a two seventy rifle and a forty

274
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>four magnum, And it so happened that he only had

275
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 2>three rounds for the forty four magnum because he forgot

276
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>the rounds for it, and he had about a half

277
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>a box of shelves for the two seventies and in

278
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>two seventy was an old pump action open site rifle,

279
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 2>which those are really good rifles anyway, So he goes

280
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>over to the shed and.

281
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 1>He got a spooky feeling.

282
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>So he goes back over to the four wheeler, pops

283
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>open one of the hatches where he had the forty

284
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>four just cooled up in his holster in the belt

285
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 2>and is kind of uncolled. Threw it over his shoulder

286
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, just to have it on him, because again,

287
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>something was off when he walks over towards his shed,

288
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and he noticed that it looked like the back end

289
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>of it was like had been impacted somehow, and so

290
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>he's looking closer and he notices his weird kind of

291
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 2>hairs on it. He was like, what the hell, oh,

292
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what, a bear must have come running through

293
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, spooped and smacked into it on his

294
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>way by right just explaining it away. And so as

295
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>he gets over it and he's looking a little closer

296
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 2>and those are awfully long hairs for a bear, and

297
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.159
<v Speaker 2>just wrote it off at that, didn't worry about it anymore.

298
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Got some bottle jacks that he had out basically righted

299
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the way the shed was tilted right because it was

300
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>up on blocks, and so he fixed that and then

301
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>gets inside, goes through all this stuff. That night, he

302
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 2>just kept feeling compelled to heap the light on outside right,

303
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>which typically he didn't, but he just, for whatever reason, man,

304
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>that light needs to be on. So he was far

305
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>enough the generator, double checking the batteries, keeping the dual

306
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty watt high pressure sodium lamps on up on this

307
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>little pole, and.

308
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.

309
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back.

310
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 3>After the these messages.

311
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 2>He said, anytime he would get relaxed at the table,

312
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>he would just be drawn to go look up the curtains.

313
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, every time he looked out, there was a

314
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>weird fog moving in. It was getting dense and more

315
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>and more dense as the evening was carrying on.

316
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So he was so unnerved.

317
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 2>He was compelled to make sure that the two seventy

318
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>was loaded up. So he loaded up the rifle, make

319
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.720
<v Speaker 2>sure there's a round in it, safety was on. Decided

320
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going to shut things down. The battery bank

321
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>was nice and topped off because over the years he

322
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 2>had built it up and had relays and everything he

323
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>needed to where he could just turn a switch and

324
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 2>just use the battery power and not have to run

325
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 2>the generator at all times. He had enough battery power

326
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to where he could run certain stuff for a certain

327
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 2>amount of time with a cushion time, and so he

328
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.080
<v Speaker 2>shut down everything and he headed off to bed.

329
00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 1>He's in the back room. And again the back room.

330
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.559
<v Speaker 2>If you're facing the place, the door is now to

331
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 2>the right hand side from where it was originally on

332
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the left, because this combined these two buildings into one,

333
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 2>and so his is in the back corner from if

334
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>you're standing in the front, you're looking at the door.

335
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Off your left would be that light post, the trail

336
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.919
<v Speaker 2>that wraps around the back this rise that goes up

337
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>about twenty feet above from where you're standing.

338
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>His bedroom was in that back corner.

339
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.879
<v Speaker 2>So he gets back in that bedroom, and he said

340
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 2>he was so tired that like, he initially laid down

341
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 2>and fell right asleep, but then something kept waking him up,

342
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 2>waking him up, and he had laid down. He said,

343
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>it had to have been between nine thirty and ten

344
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>pm initially, and then all of a sudden, he hears

345
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>this unnerving growl. He said, It was like the mix

346
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>between the like what he would think a t rex

347
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.679
<v Speaker 2>would growl like in a brown bear, mixed kind of

348
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>with a lion roar.

349
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 1>It was like this very powerful, like this thing whatever.

350
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 2>It was like right up against the building because the

351
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>head of his bed was at that back corner, just

352
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>offset a couple of feet.

353
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>In the window.

354
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>But it was like reverberating to the place where it

355
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>shot the hell out of him. What the hell is

356
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.880
<v Speaker 2>making that noise? So immediately lights on. He turned the

357
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>outside lights on, and he looks out the window.

358
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Of course, after he grabbed the rifle.

359
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>He's holding the rifle, not pointing at no windows open

360
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>or anything, but he's trying to look out and he's

361
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>not seeing anything. He saw some darkness moving, but again

362
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>he was just woken up and startled, so he wasn't

363
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.079
<v Speaker 2>sure what the hell. And he was like, damn that bear.

364
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be a bear.

365
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.599
<v Speaker 1>It hadn't hibernated.

366
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Something must be wrong with it, right, natural to assume

367
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>bear didn't get enough for whatever, and it was a

368
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.839
<v Speaker 2>dangerous bear. So he sits there and he goes, I

369
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>know what the lights on up front, I'm going to

370
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 2>fire up the generator and that noise and everything and

371
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>me moving around in here, it should get that bear

372
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to go, and if not, then hopefully it comes around

373
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:57.400
<v Speaker 2>in the light where I could see it better, and

374
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll just shoot the damn thing. And so he sits

375
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>there at the table for a while, and he's got

376
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 2>his gear ready to put on, and he keeps getting

377
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.880
<v Speaker 2>drawn over to the window looking out again, and there's

378
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 2>this fog had only gotten thicker, more dense. His lights

379
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 2>were right there, but it was so dense that it

380
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 2>was like very eerie, very hard to see.

381
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 1>And looking out.

382
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.839
<v Speaker 2>These front windows outside of that light post there and

383
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:20.599
<v Speaker 2>then over.

384
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>The left that shed.

385
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>He had cut back about sixty five feet on the

386
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>slight downslope area before it turned into marsh and tundra

387
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and muskeg, and there were still black spruce right there,

388
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>but there was a little alley ways that you could

389
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.920
<v Speaker 2>see out into the open tundra and the muskeg and stuff,

390
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>but none of that you couldn't see.

391
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 1>It was so dense, and so he's damn, it was

392
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 1>just eerie.

393
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.160
<v Speaker 2>And so he sits down and after a little bit

394
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 2>he realized he's falling asleep sitting at the table. All

395
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.640
<v Speaker 2>of a suddenly again he hears this growl, and this

396
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.839
<v Speaker 2>growl seemed to come from the same spot back by

397
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 2>his bedroom where the head of his bed would be

398
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.519
<v Speaker 2>against the wall.

399
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>There it reverberated to the whole place.

400
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Freaked him out right, and finally he's okay, I'm getting

401
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 2>my gear on. I got to put this bear down.

402
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>And then he's looking. He's like, shit, I only got

403
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 2>three rounds of forty four.

404
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That's not enough.

405
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.920
<v Speaker 2>But I got two seventy rounds and the two seventy

406
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 2>pump he had held like a had a little box

407
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.519
<v Speaker 2>magazine of four, and he could put one in the pipe.

408
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 2>And so he figured, okay, five two seventies and three

409
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.480
<v Speaker 2>forty four rounds, I'll be able to do something with this.

410
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 2>And so he sits there. He gets his courage built up,

411
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and he's I just want to put eyes on this

412
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.119
<v Speaker 2>bear first. So I had the advantage of flanking it

413
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and making a move on it versus it surprising me

414
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>out of the blue somewhere right, he's thinking ahead. So

415
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Oscar's just sitting there, Okay, I got this. So he

416
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 2>kept looking out the front window every once in a

417
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 2>while and hoping this bear would come around, and so

418
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>he ended up shutting off the generator to hopefully that

419
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.799
<v Speaker 2>killed the sound and draw the bear around front spark

420
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>his curiosity or whatever. So he kills it, comes back up,

421
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>shuts the trap door and all that, and then it's

422
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 2>just sitting there and it would peek out the window

423
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>every so often. And finally when about the third time,

424
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 2>he said, about four minutes after killing the generator, because

425
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>he was so amped at this point he couldn't fall

426
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>asleep in good conscience, right, And so he said, about

427
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the third time, he looked out the window that thick fog,

428
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>he saw this brown what he assumed was a bear

429
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 2>just at the edge of the light source of the

430
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 2>two fifty high pressure sodiums. He goes, okay, I got it.

431
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 2>So he grabs a rifle. He's got the forty four

432
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>ready to go as well. He gets that on the porch,

433
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.519
<v Speaker 2>and this thing had moved over right over by the shed,

434
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, it was like he thought

435
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 2>it was leaning up against this what he still thought

436
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 2>was a bear was leaning up against the shed, pawn

437
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 2>at it or something. But that's because of the dense

438
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 2>fog and everything, and the limited light. Even with his

439
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.640
<v Speaker 2>headlamp that he had on, he couldn't see much right

440
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 2>because with the headlamp on he was seeing even less

441
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 2>because it just turned everything white from the light illuminating

442
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>all the fog particles and stuff. Right, So as soon

443
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>as he clicked on the headlamp briefly and realized that

444
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>he saw less, he turned it off. And at this

445
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>point this thing had turned around right, and it wasn't

446
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 2>a bear, but he didn't know what it was because

447
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 2>it was hunched over.

448
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 1>It was tall as that shed, but he could tell.

449
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:11.759
<v Speaker 2>It was punched down a little bit, and he was

450
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.319
<v Speaker 2>just taken back by the size of this thing. He said,

451
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 2>it was very menacing. The whole energy was different. The

452
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 2>dense fog was making it real hard to see this thing,

453
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>but there was enough of the light illuminating penetrating through

454
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>before he was catching eye shine every so often spradically

455
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>when this scene would look over at him and back

456
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and forth. It was like, he said, it kept looking

457
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 2>back and forth without moving its head. It was moving

458
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.400
<v Speaker 2>its eyes and he could see red eye shine every

459
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>time the light was hitting it just right, and so

460
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 2>it freaked him out, and so he raised the rifle

461
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 2>and started yelling, hey guy, here, bear, get out of here.

462
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Bear.

463
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And again he knew it wasn't a bear, but that's

464
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 2>all that came out in that moment. And so he

465
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.880
<v Speaker 2>starts coming down the steps to basically get a little

466
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>closer because of how his port was set up. There's

467
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 2>so much stuff there to use the railing for steadying

468
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the shot, but there's too much stuff like that he

469
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.880
<v Speaker 2>hadn't processed and put away yet in the way to

470
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 2>where he couldn't use it as a rest. So he

471
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.640
<v Speaker 2>came down the steps and at the bottom of the

472
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>steps there was a couple paul kNs of propane. He

473
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>was gonna use one of those and grant you in

474
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the moment, he said, looking back, this probably wasn't the

475
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 2>best idea, but it was what he was working with.

476
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.319
<v Speaker 1>And another thing was the propane tanks.

477
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.200
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to be closer to them and not risk

478
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>accidentally shooting one of those.

479
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Right. Fair enough, he's spitballing in the moment.

480
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 2>So when he gets down, this thing had already started running, right,

481
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't running at him. It was running basically

482
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 2>in between where the light post was in the corner

483
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of the house. It's literally right happening in front of him,

484
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and it is happening real fast, he said. He pops

485
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>a shot and obviously missed right, and then pumps the

486
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.759
<v Speaker 2>action and swings, and as he swings, this thing had

487
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 2>bumped his shoulder basically against this light post, and damn

488
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>knocked it sideways a little bit.

489
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And one of the lights went out.

490
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.839
<v Speaker 2>And then he came around to get a better beat

491
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.079
<v Speaker 2>on it, and as it was just tearing off into

492
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the darkness and real hard to see, he put a

493
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.839
<v Speaker 2>shot right and he immediately heard the scream and the

494
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 2>squill kind of sound, and then thrashing through the trees.

495
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Of the black out, the black spoos and everything.

496
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 2>And he heard it and listened to it as it

497
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 2>ran off, and his adrenaline jack he's pumped, his holy

498
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.960
<v Speaker 2>shit runs back inside, kills the outdoor light.

499
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.319
<v Speaker 1>He essentially hides out until.

500
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Morning, and then in the morning he shut everything down,

501
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>had everything ready, He left a bunch of stuff there

502
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.440
<v Speaker 2>outside of his important stuff, hopped on his four wheeler

503
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and got out at first light. Even in the dense fog,

504
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>it felt like he was being followed out. Fast forward,

505
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 2>approximately four months, snow has fallen out there. He hadn't

506
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>been back since he hadn't talked about it. He had

507
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 2>tried to talk to his brother James about it. James

508
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to hear nothing about the property because he

509
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.160
<v Speaker 2>was still having issues of being denied access for so

510
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>many years with the parents and whatnot. He was holding

511
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.200
<v Speaker 2>on to old stuff and Junior James Une, you're had

512
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>caught wind that his uncle was excited about something that

513
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.599
<v Speaker 2>had happened over that way, and so he reached out, Hey,

514
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I want to get out there.

515
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's get out there, and.

516
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>He goes, okay, I got to go out there anyway.

517
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I left some stuff. I got to make sure stuff

518
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>put away. There's a bunch of stuff he left not

519
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.200
<v Speaker 2>tidied up, and so now snow's falling, it's going to

520
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>be a chore, right, He's got to shovel stuff out

521
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and all that. So he's like, all right, nephew, come with,

522
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 2>just be aware, come heavily armed. And nephew was like,

523
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Junior was like James. Junior was like, okay, I'll come

524
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 2>heavily armed. What do we talk, What do you mean

525
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>heavily armed? Be specific? And he goes, bring heavy firepower

526
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and extra ammuf fair enough, so Junior's ready.

527
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:39.839
<v Speaker 1>They go out. They had to go buy snow machine.

528
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 2>They each had their own snow machine, and bringing a

529
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.680
<v Speaker 2>sled with them just added supply as a plan on being.

530
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Out there week. So they get out there.

531
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 2>It's basically still fairly early in the morning because by

532
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 2>that time in the winter the sun doesn't come up.

533
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Technical sunrise even right now, being mid January ish is

534
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.799
<v Speaker 2>technical sunrises at ten ten a little later in the

535
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.839
<v Speaker 2>day further north to go anyway. So they get there

536
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's just barely technical sunrise, but the fog is

537
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:12.039
<v Speaker 2>so dense that it's not burning off. It's kind of

538
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:14.799
<v Speaker 2>like a real heavily overcast kind of environment as far

539
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>as the lighting. They get there and there's no signs

540
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 2>of anything, just snow. There's plenty of snow. There are

541
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>some moose tracks, some Lynx tracks on the way in.

542
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Nothing stood out right because his uncle kept slowing down

543
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.680
<v Speaker 2>looking and James Junior didn't understand in the moment why

544
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 2>he his uncle was doing this. So they get there,

545
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 2>they're shoveling stuff out. His uncle Oscar's just constantly head

546
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.880
<v Speaker 2>on a swivel, hadn't put his gun down yet, just

547
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 2>making James Junior real nervous. Hey uncle, what the hell,

548
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 2>he goes, Let's get this stuff done and then we'll

549
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>go inside, warm up and stuff and explain what's going on.

550
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And so they have that agreement. They get things buttoned

551
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 2>up where they could and what have you, and they

552
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>get inside. Now when Junior gets in there and he's

553
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 2>got his gear off and stuff, and his uncle was

554
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 2>inside about fifteen minutes ahead of him, made coffee and

555
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>some other stuff. He was just getting done and he

556
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>sits down. His uncle tells him everything I've shared up

557
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:12.240
<v Speaker 2>to this point now, grant you, it's still not quite midday, okay,

558
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and nothing happens.

559
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>They just hunkered down. It was mellow evening round.

560
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>The generator topped off, the batteries, just kept it real mellow.

561
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>James Junior his bedroom was all set up, had been

562
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that way. He had been there a couple times and whatnot,

563
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.759
<v Speaker 2>but it was there. He had his own space, his

564
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 2>uncle had his own space. And they called it at

565
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.440
<v Speaker 2>night fairly early because they wanted to get up and

566
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>ten to things in the morning. They were both woken

567
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 2>up approximately between five point thirty six o'clock the next

568
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>morning by that growl that what initially set everything off. Immediately,

569
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 2>James Junior, he's up. He's got his high powered rifle.

570
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.759
<v Speaker 2>He had brought three thirty eight win mag He also

571
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 2>brought an AR fifteen.

572
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 1>He brought a nine millimeter.

573
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Pistol and a four to fifty four Cassole five shot revolver,

574
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and his uncle thirty out six more rounds for forty

575
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 2>four and some Colt forty five pistol. Right, and so

576
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 2>immediately they're up in arms, turn on lights, turn on

577
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the outside light. Only the one was still working. The

578
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.160
<v Speaker 2>other one would flicker on and off every once in

579
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 2>a while because after the impact of this thing, they

580
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>pulled wires or something and it wasn't all good. And

581
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.279
<v Speaker 2>so they're looking around nothing and that dense fog is

582
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>still hanging in there, right, So they're up.

583
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.640
<v Speaker 1>They stay up for the rest of.

584
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 2>The morning, and once it starts getting light out, they

585
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>hear this, just this raven just quawking up a storm,

586
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 2>and so they figure, okay, it's telling on whatever's out there.

587
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's get ready, let's go out there and let's get

588
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>this thing. Let's ambush it, let's planket whatever, let's find it.

589
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Let's drive it out. And so they get out there,

590
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>it will dense fog. Right as they're out there, they're

591
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.640
<v Speaker 2>looking around, they're looking this way, they're looking up towards

592
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that ridge on the back side of the cabin. They're

593
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.400
<v Speaker 2>looking over here, but it's so dense a fog they're

594
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 2>not able to make anything out. And this raven is

595
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 2>it's got to be right on top of that light pole,

596
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>but they can't really see it. And it's real weird

597
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>because they can make out the lights up there, but

598
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>nothing else.

599
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 1>It turns out this raven was a white.

600
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Raven, and when they finally realized, oh, that's a white raven,

601
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it really threw them off because they're at the Basket Descent,

602
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>they're at the Basket and their heritage at the Basket

603
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Alaskan Native they're just thrown off by this white raven.

604
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>This white raven.

605
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 2>As the ceiling of the fog kind of ebbs and

606
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Speaker 2>flows rises and lowers, it got to a point to

607
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 2>where they could see it a little more clearly, and

608
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 2>this thing is squawking directly at them and then takes

609
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.119
<v Speaker 2>off and flies straight away from them, and so they're like,

610
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:38.720
<v Speaker 2>what the hell that was creepy.

611
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 1>So they get back inside.

612
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 2>They start going over and rehashing what have they heard

613
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 2>about the white raven?

614
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>This and that?

615
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>And they're going over, I've heard good and bad and

616
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>same here and my culture, the ravens are considered our ancestors.

617
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.039
<v Speaker 2>And as far as a white raven, I've heard different things,

618
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 2>but it was nothing that I retained, right, So they

619
00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 2>get amongst each other, they're going over the ins and

620
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 2>outs of this white rave thing. Within the hour, way

621
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 2>off in the distance, this thing flew away at they

622
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.119
<v Speaker 2>hear this long banshee, like high pitched but deep echoing

623
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>air raid sirens scream right way off in the distance,

624
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 2>had been miles and miles away just well, and they're

625
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 2>both they were inside and they heard it, and they're

626
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>like whoa looking out the windows, still real foggy. It

627
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 2>hasn't burned off for nothing, And so they're like, damn.

628
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>In about every hour ish they would hear this scream again,

629
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 2>but it would be closer.

630
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Right.

631
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.039
<v Speaker 2>It got to the point where once it seemed like

632
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.039
<v Speaker 2>it was within a mile of their guestimation because of

633
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 2>how loud it had gotten and moving closer every hour,

634
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>they got up in arms. They got dressed, they got

635
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.839
<v Speaker 2>the generators running, the batteries getting topped off. They're freaking out.

636
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Nothing happens, Nothing happens. They end up going to bed,

637
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>so they were up a good part.

638
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Of the night.

639
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 2>So they're sleeping and they're woken up by this raven

640
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>squawking out front on that pole again.

641
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:01.279
<v Speaker 3>And stay tuned for more Sasquatch obs right back after

642
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:02.200
<v Speaker 3>the East messages.

643
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Junior gets up.

644
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.039
<v Speaker 2>He goes looks out the other window, the front window,

645
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and he can't see it because of the dense fog,

646
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and so his uncle's up.

647
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, oh, it's back at it, you know what

648
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the hell.

649
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>They end up going outside together again, prepared to open

650
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.759
<v Speaker 2>fire on whatever, and there's nothing around.

651
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 1>That they could see.

652
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>But there's this raven again walking directly at them, just

653
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>like the day before, and just takes off, flying in

654
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that same direction. They're like shit, but this time the

655
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 2>difference is they're outside. This thing just flew away in

656
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 2>the offento the fog. All they could do is hear it,

657
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's still squawking away as it's flying. Right Somewhere

658
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.839
<v Speaker 2>just sixty five ish feet from where they're standing is

659
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:47.079
<v Speaker 2>the tree line of the black spruce before it gets

660
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 2>extra swampy and stuff up and behind there, they hear

661
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:52.880
<v Speaker 2>a scream coming from the stand of timbers right over there,

662
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>right sixty five feet away, loud as hell.

663
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Felt it in their chest. Holy shit.

664
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Immediately they scurry back inside the button and all the doors,

665
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>shutting everything, and they're discussing, what the hell do we do?

666
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 1>What the hell do we do?

667
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Throughout that day, they kept hearing it, but it would

668
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>move just out of sight in that fog. It was

669
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:17.000
<v Speaker 2>moving in a big circle around the cabin, from where

670
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.759
<v Speaker 2>it was in the stand of trees to up behind

671
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the cabin, up on that rise. They heard it up

672
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.039
<v Speaker 2>there several times throughout the day, back behind the shed

673
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 2>where the shed was in between some couple of little

674
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.680
<v Speaker 2>stands of trees, but they couldn't see behind there because

675
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>of the fog. It was back behind their screaming, and

676
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>it basically circled all day. Every once in a while,

677
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.680
<v Speaker 2>they're screaming, right, they're freaking out of course, I get it,

678
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.960
<v Speaker 2>and they don't know what to do. And so it

679
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 2>was getting dark. They had shut the generator off hours earlier,

680
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:47.680
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. They had music playing, They had every device

681
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>they had because initially when the scream stuff started.

682
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to overlook this.

683
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>They tried to use in cell phones and his uncle

684
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 2>had a little digital camera to try to get pictures

685
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 2>and record some of this activity. But batteries were dead,

686
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and so they were charging everything. They were just wearing

687
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 2>down the batteries, the battery bank, and so just at

688
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.319
<v Speaker 2>dusk it was getting dark, and he said his uncle

689
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm gonna fire up the generator. I'm gonna

690
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 2>add gas, I'm gonna fire it up for a few hours,

691
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 2>top off the battery banks and let's get everything recharged

692
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. And so he gets down in the crawl

693
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>has a crawl space open. They've been carrying rifles with

694
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.559
<v Speaker 2>them the whole time. Okay, So his uncle left his

695
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 2>rifle right there by the trap door on the floor

696
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and he's down below and he fires up the generator.

697
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Just as he fires up the generator at the back

698
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.599
<v Speaker 2>corner on that kitchen side, there was a bang. James

699
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Junior said, it sounded like something was lean like right

700
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 2>up against the corner of the building and just banged

701
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>about two feet away from where this window was and

702
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 2>just banged. And then banged it again. It was just

703
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 2>shaking the whole place. Uncle Oscar is down in that hole.

704
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>He happened to have that forty five with him and

705
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a holster still on his belt, and he rolls up.

706
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>He's like, what the hell.

707
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>What James Junior couldn't hear was this thing was walking

708
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 2>along the front of the place because they had the

709
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.160
<v Speaker 2>curtains and everything closing. James's over here at the table,

710
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 2>right and the trap door is just right over here

711
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 2>on the floor.

712
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:16.799
<v Speaker 1>As a thing is walking along. Uncle could hear it.

713
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.480
<v Speaker 2>And what it seemed like it was doing was thumping

714
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 2>against the skirting, looking to see how if there was

715
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 2>any weakness. There was thumping like it knew he was

716
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.319
<v Speaker 2>under there. Kind of feeling, is what Oscar said. And

717
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 2>so once it got close, now the generator is running okay,

718
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And so he drew that forty five and started shooting

719
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 2>through that siding because it was just doubled up or whatever,

720
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't gonna do much damage, but he wanted to like

721
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 2>make it known that, hey, we're going to shoot, right,

722
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>So he starts shooting, startles a shit out of James Junior.

723
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:51.559
<v Speaker 2>He grabs his rifle, he runs over towards the window

724
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 2>to look out. Just as he looks out, he can't

725
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 2>see the lights because this big shadows in front of

726
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.799
<v Speaker 2>the window right in front of him, and the trap

727
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 2>door off to his right on the floor. His uncles

728
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>leaped out of there like a frog out of water,

729
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.599
<v Speaker 2>right jumps out of there, slams that chap door.

730
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 1>He's grabbing the rifle.

731
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 2>He's yelling, it's right outside, it's right outside. And James

732
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 2>is trying to look and he's holding the rifle across

733
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 2>his chest like this, looking out the window. All of

734
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, the thing moves out of in front of

735
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the window and they could see the light again.

736
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And then it made it clear.

737
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 2>They could see the shoulder, and they all like the

738
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 2>outline the silhouette, and they both like stumbled back freaking out.

739
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 2>They're both pointing rifles in his uncles. Don't shoot the window.

740
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't shoot the window. And so they're sitting there and

741
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 2>then it's dead quiet, right, and they heard noises. They

742
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>heard the shed like basically claps over because when they

743
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:43.079
<v Speaker 2>looked the following morning, that whole shed that was where

744
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 2>he kipp hearts and stuff for snow machine affom that

745
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>whole thing was just poppled over. They heard that the

746
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>way the wire was to the post, it was at

747
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.199
<v Speaker 2>least twelve feet off the ground running over to the

748
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.119
<v Speaker 2>post and ran upwards towards the top of this post

749
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>where the two fifty watt high.

750
00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Pressure sodium lamps were.

751
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 2>He assumes this thing brushed its head, had hit the

752
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>wire or whatever jilted things, and both lamps were working

753
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:12.239
<v Speaker 2>again right for whatever reason, they knew that much. But

754
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 2>they were sitting on the floor and looking through the curtain.

755
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:16.920
<v Speaker 2>They could they seem in the light the other like

756
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:18.880
<v Speaker 2>come on through the curtain or whatever, and they just

757
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 2>sat there. They were in shock, and so it's quiet

758
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and everything, and they pull themselves together.

759
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>They sit back, they scoop back, they get up into

760
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the seats, and.

761
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 2>They're both pointing their rifles around, just like what do

762
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 2>we do kind of thing, looking at each other. Was

763
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:36.880
<v Speaker 2>out saying anything like shrugging the shoulders and like listening,

764
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and Oscars trying to say just listen. And finally Uncle

765
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Oscar says, hey, Junior, if it tries to come through

766
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.719
<v Speaker 2>the doors or whatever, just start shooting and get everything ready.

767
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:51.360
<v Speaker 2>So immediately, James Junior he's got his AR fifteen out.

768
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.960
<v Speaker 2>He's got all the extra magazines for that, just simple five,

769
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:57.320
<v Speaker 2>five six, regular carbing, all the other AMMO.

770
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.320
<v Speaker 1>For the pistol. Everything, it's all right there.

771
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Every gun and piece of bullet they got is ready

772
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.440
<v Speaker 2>right there at the table.

773
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:06.599
<v Speaker 1>They sat there and nothing.

774
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.199
<v Speaker 2>James Junior ended up fall asleep in the chair at

775
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the table, but Oscar couldn't sleep right all night. At

776
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 2>one point James Junior was woken up by that same screen,

777
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 2>but it was further distance away and they were able

778
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 2>to calm down a little more.

779
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.400
<v Speaker 1>But Oscar didn't sleep.

780
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 2>And so what he said is the next morning, when

781
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.119
<v Speaker 2>James started moving around, Oscar was real tired and said, Hey,

782
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to curl up on the floor by the woodstove.

783
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take a nap, but I'm not going

784
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to be back in that room alone or whatever.

785
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Just let me know if I need to get up.

786
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.719
<v Speaker 2>So he takes a nap for a couple hours before

787
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.639
<v Speaker 2>it gets light out right, and once he got a

788
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:44.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit of sleep as best he could anyway, a

789
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>little cat nap here and there, he got up and

790
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.039
<v Speaker 2>he's get our shit together. We're getting out of here,

791
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:51.679
<v Speaker 2>so they gathered the pertinent stuff. They were not going

792
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.639
<v Speaker 2>to be hauling anything out or any of that kind

793
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, because everything they brought was to stay there anyway.

794
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Uncle went down underneath and tended to the battery bank,

795
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 2>shutting things down, isolating the batteries, just make sure everything

796
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.960
<v Speaker 2>was good. Shut the trap door, locked it up. Everything

797
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.440
<v Speaker 2>was good to go, and it was that dense fog

798
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 2>as they were. They went out together, One kept eye

799
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 2>out while the other one started the machines to let

800
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 2>them warm up. They weren't going to leave them unattended

801
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:21.400
<v Speaker 2>because where they had initially parked them.

802
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 1>One of the sleds was like twisted over it.

803
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.880
<v Speaker 2>They suspect when this thing ran by and knocked the shed,

804
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.199
<v Speaker 2>it had bumped that sled and just twisted the toe

805
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:33.119
<v Speaker 2>behind sled, not the snow machine sled and twisted that.

806
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And so they wanted to keep an eye to make

807
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.920
<v Speaker 2>sure this thing didn't trash their way out.

808
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And they sat there.

809
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Uncle was going in and out, just grabbing pertinent stuff,

810
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 2>double checking everything, asking James what he needed. And James

811
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.840
<v Speaker 2>already had his shit into the sled was unmolested or whatever.

812
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 1>He had his extra rifle Emma and all that kind

813
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of stuff.

814
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.760
<v Speaker 2>He had his three p thirty eight wind mag over

815
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.480
<v Speaker 2>his shoulder and a pistol in his hand, and things

816
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 2>were warmed up.

817
00:37:57.239 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Everything got locked up.

818
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Just as they were talking about what they're going to

819
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:04.199
<v Speaker 2>do on keeping an eye on each other on the

820
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>trail out, they heard the raven. The white raven was

821
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.800
<v Speaker 2>back on the pole, squawking away at him right, and

822
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the fog had lifted enough and it was not quite

823
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.360
<v Speaker 2>as dense where they could see this thing clearly. And

824
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:18.039
<v Speaker 2>they both said, it is the biggest raven they ever seen.

825
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 2>For a raven, that was massive. It reminded him of

826
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.639
<v Speaker 2>the size of a like a snowy owl or a

827
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.639
<v Speaker 2>great horned owl. It was big, but it was a raven,

828
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.400
<v Speaker 2>they said. Even its beak was an opaque kind of

829
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:31.760
<v Speaker 2>hail color. It didn't have like black beady eyes like

830
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the regular ravens and stuff. It had all white feathers

831
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:38.159
<v Speaker 2>like Christine white. And this thing was a squalling at him,

832
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:39.760
<v Speaker 2>like screaming at him the whole time.

833
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 1>And finally that was it. They're creeped out, and Oscar

834
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:43.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, follow.

835
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>My lead as we turn around. But once we get

836
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.920
<v Speaker 2>turned around, on the trail. I want you ahead of

837
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 2>me so I could see that you're okay. I'm going

838
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to be right behind you running my snow machine with

839
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.280
<v Speaker 2>my pistol in my hand, and you just worry about

840
00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:58.719
<v Speaker 2>driving your sled and once we get a mile or

841
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.760
<v Speaker 2>two down, the trail will swap and we'll leap frog

842
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:02.480
<v Speaker 2>doing it that way.

843
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And so that's what they did.

844
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.079
<v Speaker 2>But just as they're turning around to leave, that raven

845
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>just started really flapping, squawking, screaming, and then took offline again.

846
00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>And just as they were getting like turn around, squared

847
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:18.119
<v Speaker 2>up to go, they're double checking, giving thumbs up and stuff,

848
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.039
<v Speaker 2>that scream happened again, way off in the distance like

849
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.519
<v Speaker 2>it had the day before, and what have you. They

850
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 2>got out of there. That's where that ended. I've heard

851
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 2>things about the white Raven, bad almend, good amend. I've

852
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.719
<v Speaker 2>heard different versions of it. So I can't really speak

853
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to that because i'd have nothing definitive.

854
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 1>But I will check into that.

855
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 2>But Oscar and James are not their names, Okay, that's anonymity,

856
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:44.599
<v Speaker 2>And the exact location is irrelevant when I share these encounters.

857
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes the location is very important. Other times and every time.

858
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:53.239
<v Speaker 2>It's the behaviors leading up to an encounter that if

859
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you know what these behaviors are, maybe you can avoid

860
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it yourself by going hey, ols, don't who like that?

861
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Or Hey some stone rock, let's get out of here

862
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.239
<v Speaker 2>and avoid potential traumatic ship. Thanks to everyone who has

863
00:40:05.280 --> 00:43:12.719
<v Speaker 2>reached out, and we'll catch you on the next one.

864
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:00.119
<v Speaker 3>W
