His friend Alaska. 55 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.840 What I wanted to share with you today happened approximately 56 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.319 six years ago on the news Sheigak River. Tony not 57 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.120 his real name, took his thirty two foot fishing boat 58 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.000 up river up the New Shigak as a home base 59 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.919 to anchor out and use his skiff as a little 60 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.080 satellite run him bout do his moose hunting. He went 61 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.800 out one evening. He went out on evening Tide went 62 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.759 up river anchored out just above Portage. The next morning, 63 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.599 Tide his wife and son, which his son was waiting 64 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.879 for time off. The following day. His son would be 65 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.520 off for a week. He brought his mom with him 66 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.080 to go and meet Tony up at the boat. They 67 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.080 got there shortly after morning tied. They started making their 68 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.280 plan of action. They're going to go scout around him 69 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.879 and his sun and look for mussin while his wife 70 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.319 just hung out on the fishing boat, tended to meals 71 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.000 and coffee and stuff like that. It was just what 72 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.319 they do. So they take off to go scouting him 73 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.399 and his son. They go all the way up in 74 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.680 New Stuyhawk and they're drifting down. They're looking for signs 75 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.040 of moose. Nothing. It's just dead. So they decide after 76 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.759 a couple hours of that, eh, it's wet out, it's cold. 77 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.920 Let's regroup and start early in the morning, first light. 78 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.000 As soon as we can see enough on the river, 79 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.199 we'll go back up and we'll drift down. So they 80 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.399 get back to the boat, they hung out. They played 81 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.519 cards and cribbage and stuff, and I eat dinner, had 82 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.000 a good dinner, just having good family time, and he said, 83 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.879 just at twilight, just before it got one hundred percent dark, 84 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.600 they heard a scream. He said. The scream was loud red. 85 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.759 It was far away, but it was loud. It was 86 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.439 a classic air Reid siren ending in a high pitched 87 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.120 screen right. So they all look at each other and 88 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.879 his wife said, that's a harry Man and one of 89 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.439 you guys didn't see no moose. We're probably wasting our time. 90 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.680 Let's go up Wood River or up electnic Gik or 91 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.480 something like that. And he was like nah. Because he 92 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.639 had heard stories from his uncle and his Uput and stuff. 93 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.000 He believed them, but he just didn't think it was 94 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.160 going to happen to him kind of thing, so he 95 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.079 just denied. He was like, nah, it's got to be 96 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.639 something we're just unaware of. And his wife told him, hey, 97 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.879 I know what it is, so we should probably not 98 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.279 waste our time. Thought nothing of it, which he regrets later. 99 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.800 So he gets up real early the next morning before 100 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.319 thirty coffee going and gets his son up and moving around. 101 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.959 They eat real quick. They had some spam and eggs 102 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.920 with his boy. They filled up a thermos of coffee. 103 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.240 His wife got up by this point and made them 104 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.360 like a little snack bag some summer sausage, crackers and 105 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.480 some other stuff and sent them on their way. They 106 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.360 took off. They went all the way up where they 107 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.040 had gone the day before, up just about where New 108 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:07.680 Stuyhawk is, and started drifting. Thick fog had rolled in 109 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.759 that morning. They drifted down. They're seeing nothing. The thick 110 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.439 fog was making it really hard to see anything. The 111 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.560 sun wasn't feeling it. He was like, Dad, I don't 112 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.959 think we're going to see anything. This thick fog is 113 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.480 going to make it hard to get a good shot. 114 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.639 He's like, let's just drift down. We'll come back up. 115 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:24.920 The fog should lift, it should burn off, and maybe 116 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.959 we'll see one right there on the bank and make 117 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.079 it easy. His son agreed, all right, we're here anyway, 118 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.519 let's do it. So they went up and down river 119 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.959 a couple times, right, and at this point there's other 120 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.000 people going buying their skiffs, waving whatever. He said. As 121 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.759 they went up for the last time, and it's still 122 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.439 thick fog. It's in the daylight, but it's just such 123 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.319 dense fog. They were losing hope on their trip. At 124 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.639 this point. Tony said he didn't sleep too good the 125 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.040 night before on the boat because there wasn't much room 126 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.680 with his wife in the bunk with them and stuff. 127 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.920 He didn't sleep too good with elbows in his ribs 128 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.720 and stuff like that. He was tired. When they got 129 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.839 back up and were drifting that final time. He was 130 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.319 laid back and started drifting off a little bit. They 131 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.399 were on the east side of the river and the channel, 132 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.199 and they were just coming down. Just blow Henry's slu 133 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.720 because when he woke up, he was basically still thick 134 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.720 fog and they were drifting. But he woke up to 135 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.519 his son smacking him. Startled the shit out of him, right, 136 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.560 So he jumps up his son. He's pointing at the 137 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.839 river bank, and Tony's waking up looking at where his 138 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.000 son's pointing, and all he sees is just dark shadows 139 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.439 from the trees, and his son's whispering, Hey, that thing 140 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.680 is on the river bank. I thought I was seeing things, 141 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.879 but this thing is following us. What are you talking about? 142 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.680 So he sits up on the bench on the lunch skiff. 143 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.959 He's looking, and as he's looking where his son's pointing, 144 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.000 all of a sudden he sees the movement himself, dark 145 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.240 shadow just moving right outside the tree line, but with 146 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.439 the fog, he said, it was really hard to determine 147 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.600 size at first because the thing it looked like it 148 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.399 was ducking down and then standing back up tall or 149 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.839 ducking down. He just woke up, so he's wrapping his 150 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.600 mind around everything that's unfolding, he said. As he stood 151 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:13.360 up and grabbed his rifle and was looking, he was like, nah, 152 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.079 I think we're seeing things right. Because the way the 153 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.680 shadow was moving in the fog, he said, it was 154 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.160 so easy to dismiss it initially. It wasn't tangible, it 155 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.079 wasn't a shape to it. It was just a shadow. 156 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.600 They seemed moving every so often. But he was like, oh, 157 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.920 you're being parallelid that scream scared you last night? His sons, no, 158 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.919 I've been watching it. I thought I was seeing things too. 159 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.519 As they're discussing this that tree line that they're drifting 160 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.639 down next to, he said that at this point they're 161 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.480 about forty feet from where this shadow figure is, about 162 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.440 twenty feet from the river bank in the channel, and 163 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.240 then about fifteen twenty feet to where this shadow was 164 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.120 moving along the tree line. He said they were on 165 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.440 a short straight shot and it was going to come 166 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.879 to a bend on the river, and there was no 167 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.519 trees on this bend. It was just shrud and stuff, 168 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.559 and the tree line continued down but the river turned right. 169 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.519 He said, at that point he was chalking it up 170 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.000 till we're seeing things still at this point because there 171 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.759 was nothing concrete. Oh, there's an actual figure. It was 172 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.600 just a shadow. So he's like, I think we're seeing stuff. 173 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.039 And then all of a sudden, this thing really stands up. 174 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.840 When it stood up, it was evident it was humanoid 175 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.039 on two legs and walks, and they could see it 176 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.600 in the fog walking out. Just as they're coming up 177 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.919 to the bend in the river, this thing is walking 178 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.240 and came away from the tree line to follow the 179 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.799 bend of the river. It was ahead of them, and 180 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.840 it got ahead of them further. It was moving a 181 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.600 little faster than they were. And then it got to 182 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.799 a point and then squatted down, and they saw it 183 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.840 in the fog. It was just a shadow, but they 184 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.960 saw it go over and squat down, almost like it 185 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.240 was waiting for them, creep them both out. So they 186 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.360 grabbed their guns and they're aiming, and it sounds she 187 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.200 we shoot. Should we shoot? It does? No, we don't 188 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.360 know what it is. It's speculation at this point. But 189 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.240 he just woke up. He's tired, he's trying to make 190 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.879 sure his eyes are working right. He doesn't want to 191 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.240 start firing. It could be a villager screwing around in 192 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.720 a gilly suit. He didn't know it'd be a dumb 193 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.000 thing to do, but you just never know. He wanted 194 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.679 to identify the target before firing, and his son was 195 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.639 freaked out. So as they're getting closer, they start yelling, hey, 196 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.559 we see you now. I gotta understand. It's dead quiet. 197 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.320 They're drifting, the motor's not running. As they're coming to 198 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.919 that bend, his son says, I'm going to fire it up. 199 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.919 They didn't want it decurrent to bring them closer to 200 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.159 the riverbank than they want to be, because this thing 201 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.519 is just squatted down in the fog, maybe fifty yards 202 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.960 at most away at this point, Tony said, as soon 203 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.279 as they started yelling and the sun fired up the skiff, 204 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.240 Tony stood up and had one boot on one little 205 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.399 bench seat and the other one up by the bow 206 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.960 little bench seat. It was like a little triangle back 207 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.480 up in there in the vehle, he said, when he 208 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.399 put his foot up and he started yelling. He's holding 209 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.600 his rifle, but he's yelling, hey, we see you, We 210 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.559 see you. You're gonna get shot playing dumb games. He's 211 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.799 yelling at this thing. As he's saying this stuff, all 212 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.919 of a sudden, it stands up again, and he really 213 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.320 gets to understand. This thing was huge. He said. It 214 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.600 was every bit of ten foot tall. He's guessing about 215 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.240 four four and a half foot wide. And when it 216 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.919 stood up, it turned profile and started walking back towards 217 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.759 the trees. They're just gonna shocked. What the hell this 218 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.440 thing turns and he couldn't make out any features. The 219 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.879 fog was so dense it was just shadow in silhouette, right, 220 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.000 even though it was daylight behind them and stuff and 221 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.919 all around. He said, the fog was so thick and 222 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.960 you could see pretty clearly to the river bank, but 223 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.080 once it got up into the brush and stuff, it 224 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:43.759 was so dense it was hard to make out any 225 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.120 features on this thing. And it turned back towards them 226 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.519 after it took a few steps, turned towards them and screamed. 227 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:55.200 He said, the scream was startling. He almost fell out 228 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.039 of the skiff just from being startled by how loud 229 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.919 and powerful it was, and made his son instantly throw up, 230 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.720 made him feel like his insides were like jello, reverberating 231 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.759 with the scream. He turns back and yells at his 232 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.759 son after he drops down off the bench seat and says, go, 233 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.960 his son's puking, so he can't operate the kicker because 234 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.639 he's projectile vomiting. So he jumps back there, moves his 235 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.120 son out of the way. His son's still puking inside 236 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.039 the skiff now, but he's getting him out of the 237 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.759 way so he can operate the outboard. He said. When 238 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.279 he got his son out of the way and started 239 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.039 opening it up, it screamed again, and at this point 240 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.120 it had moved down the river bank because he took 241 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.360 eyes off it to help move his son and stuff. 242 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.360 He said, When he got control of the kicker and 243 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.240 was opening it up to get on step and get 244 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.600 out of there, this thing I moved down the river 245 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.679 bank a little ways past where it was before and 246 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.879 was standing there, and it screamed again as he was 247 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.559 trying to power past it. He said. When it screamed 248 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.519 that time, he got a little better look at it. 249 00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:00.919 He could make out dark, sunken eye area, heavy brow ridge. 250 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.799 The nose looked flat, real wide looking jaw. But that's 251 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.159 the most description he could get. It wasn't defined at all. 252 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.399 He couldn't see the finer features, couldn't tell if the 253 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.759 face was renkly, couldn't tell the color of the skin. 254 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.720 It was just dark. Said. He powered out of that, 255 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.159 went down river, came around the bend because it kind 256 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.720 of sneaked back and forth. He was just getting the 257 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.080 hell out of there. His son's still not in a 258 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.639 good condition. He's still dry heaving at this point because 259 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.279 he had already expelled everything out of his stomach. Kept 260 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.879 asking me okay, his son's nod and yes, breathing heavy 261 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.960 and just dry heaving one after another. Couldn't talk. Was 262 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.480 just in distress. So they get down around the bend, 263 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.080 and they get a couple more bends down and at 264 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.320 this point he's on full step. He's getting the hell 265 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.600 out of dodge. He's looking out for any floating logs 266 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:51.240 or anything like that. They come around another bend and 267 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.720 he said, as they come around that bend, he hears 268 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.120 this scream again. It sounds like it's right on top 269 00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.480 of the book still, so he's looking glancing over at 270 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.320 the river and he notices this thing off to their 271 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.919 left hand side. At this point, it's moving along. Because 272 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.320 of the fog and everything, he can't make out how 273 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.519 it's moving so fast. He said, it looked like it 274 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.559 was just gliding along because he wasn't seeing any movement 275 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.320 the legs or everything. Because of the fog and everything, 276 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.080 it looked like it was gliding. He was like, holy shit, 277 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.679 he's already got it wide open and they're kicking along 278 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.879 and he's following the channel and everything, and he decides, 279 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.399 I'm gonna get out of the channel a little more 280 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.960 away from shore. I don't know what the hell this 281 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.559 thing's doing. His son's still freaking out. He had stopped 282 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.759 dry heaving at this point and was reaching for his rifle. 283 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.519 He said, don't shoot. His son was shaking his head 284 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.320 but wasn't really responding to Tony telling him, don't shoot. 285 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.279 Son slides his rifle over, he checks it, takes it 286 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.960 off safety, and he points in that direction. He fires 287 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.679 a shot. Tony said, when he fired that shot, it 288 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.039 was like all hell broke loose out of this thing. 289 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.360 Because his son didn't aim at it. He just shot 290 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:58.360 in that direction. 291 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.080 Day tuned for more sasquatch out to see we'll be 292 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:03.879 right back after these messages. 293 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.799 This thing, he said, stopped and just let out this 294 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.039 hallacious growl, evil kind of, he said. The growl was 295 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.279 just as impactful as the scream, but it made him 296 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.320 feel more like jello on the inside than the first 297 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.799 scream that made his son throw up. He said, at 298 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.360 that point, they're skiffing along at this point, but once 299 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.399 his son fired and that growl happened and all that, 300 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.879 this thing stopped following them down the river. They go 301 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.960 down a ways. Once he gets feeling like they're not 302 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.559 being followed anymore, slows out check on his son. Because 303 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.919 his son was responsive, but he wasn't giving up many answers. 304 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.519 He was still in the midst of dry heaving but 305 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.399 not full were on vomiting. Are you okay? Are you okay? 306 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.639 He was like, yeah, I'm okay. It feels like someone 307 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.559 kicked me in the gut. And so he's checking on 308 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.399 his boy and stuff. He had idled down and was 309 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.440 just basically drifting again right and it came down step 310 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.240 because he wanted to check on his son. He didn't 311 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.639 want to just leave him there potentially have him choking 312 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.639 on his own vomit or anything like that. So he 313 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.360 gets his son up on the bench as they're drifting aways, 314 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.200 and his son gets his attention and he's pointing, and 315 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.440 he starts on the verge of dry heaving again. He's 316 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.440 trying to get his dad's attention, and he points back 317 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.120 to shore and on the river bank. He turns around 318 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.840 and looks back and this thing is moving and then 319 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.799 stops and then squats down and is looking at him again. 320 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.720 He can't see it actually looking at him because of 321 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.480 the fog and everything, but it's facing them. He can 322 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.720 sense it's looking at him. So he tols this boy 323 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.519 hang on. He jumps back, grabs you out board, opens 324 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.360 it back up, gets back up on step, and then 325 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.480 they go back to the boat. He said that when 326 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.440 they got back to the boat, he helped his son 327 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.879 out of the skiff into the boat, and he sat 328 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.039 back in the stern on a buoy for a little 329 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.240 while because he was still feeling sick. He didn't want 330 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.320 to go outside and have to puke and clean it up. 331 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.519 You just throw up over the stern. He said that 332 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.240 when they're sitting there. He was telling his wife what 333 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.599 had happened, because she's like, what's wrong with my boy? 334 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.480 He explains everything, and she was like, oh, geez, you guys, 335 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.519 let's just go let's just go home. She had brought 336 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.880 up it being a wasted time since the scream the 337 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.440 night before. Tony, of course, was feeling bad enough. His 338 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:20.440 wife is not reading him the Riot Act, but in essence, 339 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.000 she was just in her own quiet way. I'll pull 340 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.680 up anchor, we'll use the big boat and just drag 341 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.119 the skiff home. We'll take our time. He checks on 342 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.920 his son. His son was doing a lot better. He 343 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:35.599 said that once they got down below portage on their 344 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.480 way out, the fog had pretty much lifted. It was 345 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.920 still overcast and everything, but it wasn't dense fog. The 346 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.480 ceiling had lifted. He said, this seemed just above tree line. 347 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.279 As they're going along, he was continually checking on his son. 348 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.279 His son said he was doing okay, and they were 349 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.960 just like nervously chuckling, WHOA, that was crazy, Wow, Harry 350 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.200 Man is just crazy. And as that was going on 351 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.119 off in the distance, at that point, they heard another scream. 352 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.039 He said it had to have been miles away, but 353 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.440 it was so loud it made his son, not from 354 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.599 the impact of the scream, but just from the thought, 355 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.039 started making him sick again, feeling ill to his stomach. 356 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.240 They just continued on and his wife had nursed the 357 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.440 boy and calmed him down, gave him a sprite to drink, 358 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.400 and some saltine crackers to eat. They just went on home, 359 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.440 he said. When he got home, he reached out to 360 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:29.799 one of his relatives who happened to live up in 361 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.440 New Study Hawk, and was telling him, Hey, here's what happened. 362 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.400 Told him everything he said. This particular relative kind of 363 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.079 chuckled and said, oh, okay, okay, yeah, we'll keep an 364 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.359 eye out. He said he didn't feel like his cousin 365 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.960 was dismissing him, but he felt like his cousin wasn't 366 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.680 taking it as serious as he should. So the following 367 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.400 day he had called back just to reiterate, Hey, this 368 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.200 really happened. I'm not pulling your leg, this is what happened, 369 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.160 and his cousin told him, yeah, I had you called, 370 00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.519 I would have told you that there was a sighting 371 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.680 over that area. A couple days before this, people had 372 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.799 heard some screams again, a lot of people don't talk 373 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.880 about it in the village because of the bad omen 374 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.319 the superstitious aspect of it. I want to thank Tony 375 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.640 for sharing. I talked to his son briefly. He really 376 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.559 didn't want to discuss too much about it. He basically 377 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.319 had the same thing to say his dad did. Outside 378 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.359 of when his son first saw this thing shadow moving, 379 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.839 he said he thought he saw a big man walking, 380 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.039 but then because of the trees and everything, he thought 381 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.240 maybe he was seeing things. Come to find out he wasn't. 382 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.920 He said, next time I see something like that, I'm 383 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:41.359 going to take it serious from the beginning, which fair enough. 384 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.400 I want to thank his son as well for being 385 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.759 willing to speak to me. I know it's not easy 386 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.200 talking to strangers about stuff. Be aware in the woods. 387 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.160 I don't want anyone to be scared of the woods. 388 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:52.839 I go out in the woods all the time and 389 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.640 just be aware. You never know, you never know. I 390 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.599 wanted to share it to you today. Comes from Derek 391 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.559 had basically signed up or rented out the state cabin 392 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:09.799 at Lynx Lake approximately ten years ago. He's guestimating Derek 393 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:15.039 just turned eighty. He was further along in life. He 394 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.799 had a Golden Retriever with them. One of his friends 395 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.960 was supposed to join him. He had signed out this 396 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:22.720 cabin for a few days because you got to go 397 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.480 to the state map and basically rent it out, set 398 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.960 your dates, make sure it's not already reserved. So he 399 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.480 had his reservations. He said. He gets there, he said, 400 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.480 as soon as he got there, it was off. Someone 401 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.079
