WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I was out here, I was pretty depressed.

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, my dad, we got the same name, you know, everything,

3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>we got the same birthday, everything, And I just lost

4
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>him a year ago. We fished every lake and tournament

5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.759
<v Speaker 1>in this state, you know. And I was just looking

6
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>at the river, thinking about how many times that me

7
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and him had fish down there, and and and then

8
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>then I hearing this great, big roar. But it wasn't

9
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a long one. It was a quick one. It's like

10
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>five seconds. But it started out sounding like a like

11
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a big bull, and into the roar and then it

12
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 1>just quit. And like I say, and it felt like

13
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it was five ten minutes. Then south of us, about

14
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a mile, you could hear the four knocks. It's kind

15
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>of weird, you know, to me, you know, all the

16
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>crap that I've been going through, and I was at

17
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>a spot where, you know, I just didn't really care,

18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I took another step or not, and

19
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and and and it really put a spark back in me.

20
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I would have never guessed in a million years that

21
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>something like that would have been here. Yeah, you know,

22
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 1>and that is not really scaring me. I think it

23
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>put us. I think it put a spark in to

24
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>learn more.

25
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of this stuff was kind of

26
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>hindsight for you guys, if you can go through the timeline,

27
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, how did this all start? When did you

28
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 2>first start noticing things? What you noticed and all that.

29
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the first thing I really noticed was in November,

30
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the last day at deer season, and we were listening

31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 1>for the last rifle shots of the night, and uh,

32
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just standing up at the house and way

33
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>down in the canyon I heard one scream and it

34
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>was started off. My first thought was a really big man,

35
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 1>and then it went intoto, this just Jurassic sound, just

36
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a big, hard roar, like like he was so mad.

37
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 1>But and he was facing south, I could tell, and

38
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 1>as at and I'm straight west of him, and he

39
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>did that whole roar until he went past me, a

40
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>little ways across me, and I could feel it in

41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>my chest my stomach and my head and and and

42
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I and I figured he had to be at least

43
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>s three quarters of a mile away, and I could

44
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>not believe I could feel all that. And I'm like,

45
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've seen bigfoot shows and stuff on just

46
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 1>regular TV and didn't really think nothing about it, and

47
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I was getting ready go on Dillis and so I

48
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of put that in the back of my head.

49
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>And that happened in two thousand, remember, yeah, twenty sixteen,

50
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and right in that area that November.

51
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Any idea how long and duration the roar was? Like,

52
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>how many seconds?

53
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>It was forever? It felt like twenty seconds. Wow. My

54
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>validation for this was two weeks later. I'm taking my

55
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>granddaughter into town for softball and then when I'm coming home,

56
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm turning in on our road and in a Bigfoot

57
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 1>research vehicle was coming out of our road. You know,

58
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 1>there's there's another guy that owns land just passed us.

59
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm assuming him or somebody else heard it, you know,

60
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and called it in.

61
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it was.

62
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>A small white car. It had to be putting stickers

63
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>all over it, and and I was like, wow, you know,

64
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe it. That's weird. Yeah, I thought, that's

65
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty weird. Then then everything goes on. I was sick

66
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>for quite a while there, four or five years. I

67
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't get out. And then when I finally started getting

68
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>back out, we had went down to the river to

69
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>see if any sand baths were moving, and it was

70
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>of the Edens and me and my grandson, which was

71
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>eight years old, and my and my son and we

72
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 1>had about fifty seventy five feet behind us a wood knock,

73
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>and I mean it was I'm saying it was at

74
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>least that close. It could have been further away, but man,

75
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like it was right on top of us.

76
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>You know when it when it happened down there in

77
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that canyon.

78
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Hop pretty loud.

79
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was. Yeah, it was pretty loud. And my

80
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>son looked at me and I was looking up at him.

81
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>He said, big foot. I said, chaund like it. He said, well,

82
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we'd better go, And so we packed up

83
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and came back up to the house. Then later, you know,

84
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>we still didn't know what quite was going on out

85
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 1>here because it was getting busy and the guy hops

86
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 1>for getting crazy. I was out chainsaw on and I

87
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>had noo of them come up behind me and uh,

88
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and we're growling at me while I was running the chainsaw,

89
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't hear them, And when I killed that chainsaw,

90
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I could hear them. Well, then here comes my dogs

91
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>jumping on him and running them off. Well, I thought,

92
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I told Karen. I said, well, we need to get

93
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it in for red camera, and so she agreed, and

94
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>uh so we got one and we strick got it

95
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>for the coyotes. And I'm using it and I'm looking

96
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and about the only time we've ever seen anything with

97
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 1>it during bad weather, and we see a few things.

98
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>We see some orbs and stuff like that with it,

99
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and we thought, man, now it's killer. That was awesome.

100
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And so it was Christmas night. I had the whole

101
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>family out here. We had seven grandkids out here, both

102
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of my kids and their spouses, and we're all playing

103
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 1>with puzzles and doing puzzles. And I had that infrared

104
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 1>camera already set up on a tripod on the back porch.

105
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It was in sleep mode. All I had to do

106
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>was hit it and it come on. And so they

107
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>were doing their thing, and I'm not into puzzles, So

108
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>when they got settled into the puzzles, I just come

109
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>on back porch and sit down in a chair in

110
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>front of it, and then I just turned it on.

111
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>When I turned it on, I was looking through it

112
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and about oh one hundred and thirty yards to the

113
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 1>back end of my pasture, right behind my house, there's

114
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a tree line there. He was a little further south

115
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>on the tree line was one eye. Now I thought

116
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>an owl, you know, had to be an owl. But

117
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>this storm, this front was coming in. There was like

118
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 1>seventy miles an hour wind coming out of the north,

119
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>and but I skinned past it because I'm looking for

120
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 1>kyots on the ground. And when I come back to it, well,

121
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 1>there's two. There's two there. And I was like, well,

122
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. There's two owls in that treeway down there,

123
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and there, you know, and they're not moving in this

124
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 1>seventy mile an hour wind.

125
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Still in the same spot.

126
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Still in the exact same spot. And then it started

127
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>turning back to its left. And when he was turning left,

128
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I watched his left eye just disappear and just to

129
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 1>see his right eye, and it still looked bright, shiny.

130
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I never looked at it over the infrared camera because

131
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>that infrared, because I played with it enough. If you

132
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>look over it, you're not gonna see nothing because it's

133
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>so bright right in your face. And you know, I mean,

134
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 1>you're just blind if you look over it. And so

135
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm staying on it and I'm trying to look see

136
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 1>where Karen is to get her attention and it's going

137
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it's going north. Then it steps down about it looked

138
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>like a foot and back up and I mean, this

139
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>is just as smooth as silk. It went down and

140
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>then back up and it got to this big hickory

141
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>tree at the end there and uh and then that

142
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 1>eye just slowly turned away from me and disappeared. And

143
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 1>this time, I'm I'm zooming in with this camera. I

144
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>got it zoomed into ten and I can see his

145
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>elbows all the way to the top of his head,

146
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>his shoulders as he turned, and he took maybe one

147
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 1>and a half steps, and I mean, and he was

148
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>down in the canyon after that. And like I said,

149
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was just smooth as can be. And

150
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>so and what was crazy? That was Christmas night and

151
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't told my son about this. I didn't tell him,

152
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, because he wasn't totally you know, on the

153
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>fence with it, right, And so I didn't tell him.

154
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And so the next morning, you know, because they were

155
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>staying in his hunting cabin just south of us, and

156
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>they come up here to eat breakfast, and we sat

157
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 1>up here and we're drinking coffee and looking at the

158
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>pond and looking out over the canyon and we're just

159
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 1>eating and drinking and I'm looking at him, and he

160
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 1>freezes up and he's looking exactly where I seen those

161
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 1>eyes the very first time. And he's zoned in and

162
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not saying nothing to him, and I'm just

163
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I quit talking and I'm just kind of looking at him.

164
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 1>And then he stands up and walks by behind me,

165
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said something staring at me, and then it

166
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>went about and he pointed out the exact spot where

167
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that hickory tree where it went off and down into

168
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the canyon. He said something something to look at me.

169
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I could feel it, he said. It's I mean, he

170
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was freaking out, and you know, and he was in

171
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the military for eight years and he was a combat

172
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>medic and I mean he's got purple hearts like crazy,

173
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I mean he he honed he honed right

174
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 1>in on that. And he's just not scared of anything.

175
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You know. Now he's on board because of the footprint,

176
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I mean, and I'm still trying to chill

177
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>him out because he's not scared of nothing.

178
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Have you gone to that spot and looked back towards

179
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 2>your house from it?

180
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, you can see our big screen TV. You,

181
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I can watch it from there from where he was

182
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>first standing. Yeah, from where he was worth standing at

183
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty yards. I can tell you who's

184
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on TV and who's not, you know, the actors, And

185
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly where he was. He was watching our party.

186
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Any idea how tall it was?

187
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it was like today's Four days later,

188
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>my wife care She went got a broomstick and take

189
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>take measure to it. And I set up the exactly

190
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>where I was, and I knew exactly how tall he

191
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>was because I mean it was winter time, but some

192
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of those smaller black jack trees won't lose all their leaves,

193
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 1>and he had walked behind it and I could see

194
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 1>his eyes just on the most level with the top

195
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. And so she went down there and she

196
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.919
<v Speaker 1>measured it to the eyes. Was nine foot. Yeah, it

197
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>was nine foot.

198
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 3>And that it also explained the step down, because I said, well,

199
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 3>there's a boulder and then there's a big gap, and

200
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 3>then there's another boulder.

201
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, everything was there for it for him stepping

202
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 1>down and back up and dunking under a tree. Maybe

203
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, there was a whole lot more trees there

204
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>at one time, or a tornado.

205
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>But now, Karen, what did you think whenever he said

206
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 2>he saw a bigfoot.

207
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 3>At that point, we hadn't conversed a whole lot about

208
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 3>all of our individual things that had gone on. But

209
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 3>on Christmas Day, I was on the back porch with

210
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 3>grandkids and the eight year old grandson was kind of

211
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 3>sitting in my lap and we're just watching everybody play

212
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and he's kind of chilling with me, and we heard

213
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 3>wood knocks on the opposite side of our pond, and

214
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he.

215
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Looks at me.

216
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 3>I look at him and he's like, Trama, did you

217
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 3>hear that.

218
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yep.

219
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.759
<v Speaker 3>I was like, yep, yep, I did. And he goes,

220
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a bigfoot. And I was like, because

221
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 3>he's all into bigfoot, and I was like that. I mean,

222
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 3>because you live out in the country, you hear stuff

223
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 3>all the time. That's a very distinct somebody took a

224
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>piece of wood and wopped the tree.

225
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>That's not something.

226
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 3>Breaking, it's not a rock falling. I mean, it's a

227
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>very distinct, sharp noise. But like I said, I didn't

228
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:03.679
<v Speaker 3>even tell I didn't.

229
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Tell my husband.

230
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 3>It was just between me and the grandson like, yep, yep,

231
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 3>I heard that. Boy, yes I did, And then he

232
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 3>had his thing that happened that night, and then after everybody.

233
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Left, he's like, I got to talk to you, and I.

234
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Was like, okay, So that's actually the night I think

235
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 3>that we really started opening up about all the individual

236
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 3>things that had happened up over probably the last six

237
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 3>months prior to this, you know, start kind of in

238
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 3>the summer up to Christmas time.

239
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>That's when we started talking, and a whole bunch of

240
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.039
<v Speaker 1>stuff happened to her and me different but was exactly

241
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 1>the same. Yeah.

242
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then we just kind of became I think

243
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 3>we just got more aware of things that were going

244
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 3>on around our house that we just kind of were

245
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 3>oblivious to before kind of just made an excuse like, oh,

246
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 3>it's probably just.

247
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 1>This or you know, you just but we have been

248
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.399
<v Speaker 1>hearing the screams. I mean, we knew deep down it

249
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>was out here because we've heard lots of screams. We've

250
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>heard the ohio HOI that big roar. The first time

251
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I heard it, we heard it either, and I feel

252
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 1>like it was two of them, scream like a woman

253
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>being murdered and a national joke, but it was and

254
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that had to be about three hundred yards away, and

255
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 1>we've heard and it was so deep and so long,

256
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 1>and it was a scream, and it felt and it

257
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>felt feminine, you know like that at first one I heard,

258
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 1>it was definitely a male. I mean when it started out,

259
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like a guy, humongous guy.

260
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 3>But this you gave the analogy of you felt like

261
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 3>somebody walked along and stubbed their toe and just did

262
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.399
<v Speaker 3>an angry scream out.

263
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Into the world. That's what it sounded like. Yeah. Yeah,

264
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>And then down down at the other end of the

265
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>property and you know, we've heard the siren where it started,

266
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 1>but it never but then it just shut off abruptly.

267
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>It got so high and so loud, but it it

268
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>was sharp, and I mean it resonated through the whole canyon.

269
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 1>There's been a couple of nights that we've been out here.

270
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.840
<v Speaker 3>That it's hoodows, but it's not hoodolves, because they're not

271
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 3>very good imitations of That was with.

272
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 1>The two screams we had over here. Yeah, it screamed

273
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>real loud, and I went to go find crant Caren

274
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>and and when I was doing it, it screamed again.

275
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe it screamed again, and when when it

276
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 1>got done, it sounded like there was fifty hoodos over

277
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>there who and sounded like monkeys at the same time.

278
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And that went on that she heard that, she didn't

279
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 1>hear the screams, she heard the aftermath party of it.

280
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 1>And and we only think they had killed one of

281
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>my neighbor's cows over there. But they're so tight lift

282
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't talk to us. They wouldn't tell us nothing, right,

283
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't they wouldn't say nothing.

284
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Do the vocalizations, and everything seemed to be coming from

285
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>the same general area.

286
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you could see on the map how our

287
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.159
<v Speaker 1>house is set up, and everything seems west and south,

288
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and it all stems along the canyon.

289
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have a canyon that runs along our lower

290
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 3>property line in it is either a river or a creek.

291
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.879
<v Speaker 1>So they just kind of follow that, and I mean,

292
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.639
<v Speaker 1>they they stay on that. And I've only the only

293
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>time I've heard them on top up here was when

294
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>they did the two screens, and then when it was

295
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 1>and then we had an incident in the front yard

296
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 1>with it. But that's also not a couple of two

297
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>or three times.

298
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it just seems like when we have family over

299
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 3>with kids and they're out here playing a lot of noise,

300
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.759
<v Speaker 3>that is almost a guarantee.

301
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>That we're going to have something happen, something happened. If

302
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.759
<v Speaker 1>you set out here long enough, you'll hear something happened

303
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 1>once with them. Kids have been out playing and screaming

304
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 1>and raising heck, especially earlier this summer, after like in August,

305
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>we were bottom four wheelers and they've been tearing up

306
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>this back pasture. And I've heard, you know, I heard

307
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>of quite a few knocks in September, and I heard

308
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>a roar and three knocks in a row that same

309
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 1>night in September of the nineteenth of this just last month.

310
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 3>And we've had children's voices happened when there's no children here,

311
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>which is kind of scary, disconcerting. I don't know exactly

312
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 3>what herm it is creepy. I don't go looking for I.

313
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 3>I rationed it out in my brain and I'm like,

314
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.640
<v Speaker 3>there's nobody up here, there are no kids out here

315
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 3>playing in the yard. You just need to go inside

316
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.200
<v Speaker 3>and not deal with that.

317
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>That's that's when we talked to each other, because she

318
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.559
<v Speaker 1>had two experiences like that, and we had I had

319
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>two and we had one together, and we just couldn't

320
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. I mean, we went and drove to

321
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>check it out and whatever. I drove to check what

322
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I heard out, and there's just nobody there, and I

323
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 1>can hear it plain as day, you know. Uh, it

324
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>sounded like guys working, you know. Yeah. His was more

325
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>adult voice, and yeah, hers was all kids. Yeah.

326
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like people talking to one another.

327
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I mean exactly just right behind my pondam

328
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And my ponddam is about thirty foot tall. Yeah, so

329
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 1>we can't see anything behind it, so they could be

330
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 1>right there, you know, doing it. And that's where it

331
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>sounded like it's from. I was out here cooking breakfast

332
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and and it was just quiet compete until all that,

333
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and it almost sounded like laughing and everything. I thought, Man,

334
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what they're doing back there, because we got

335
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>an old well over there, you know. I thought, well,

336
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe somebody was working on the well. And I go

337
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 1>through the other gate and then the well gate and

338
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 1>none of them been opened, and there wasn't nobody in sight,

339
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>nobody around here anywhere. And then then it happened two

340
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>days later, I was cooking my lunch out here and

341
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 1>I heard it south east of me, in front of

342
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 1>the house, around you know, around the corner, back around

343
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 1>the house, which was weird. And I thought, man, how

344
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.599
<v Speaker 1>am I hearing all this? And so I go get

345
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.759
<v Speaker 1>in the truck because there's a well down that way

346
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 1>about about a mile and I went drove all the

347
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>way down to it, and there's when there's just nobody

348
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>up here. And I told Karen. I said, well, I

349
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 1>think I'm going crazy. She said, what is that? And

350
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, man, I'm hearing voices. I mean I'm

351
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>hearing them everywhere, and I'm driving looking and She's like,

352
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, let me tell you. And then she

353
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>told me her story, you know, of pulling up here

354
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and thinking our grand babies were out here playing. You know,

355
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 1>she could hear them playing and then sound like they

356
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>was going behind the chicken barn and then'd get quiet

357
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>and then get golaud again and giggling. They were just

358
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 1>giggling for her.

359
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 2>It sounded like little kids giggling.

360
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like little kids running around playing tag or something,

361
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 3>trying to catch each other.

362
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>And you could tell they was running behind the chicken

363
00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.759
<v Speaker 1>bar and do, yeah.

364
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 3>Because it you know, would get loud and soft, you know,

365
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.200
<v Speaker 3>when that something would go behind the barn. But I

366
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 3>mean I'm looking, I'm looking as far as I can

367
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.279
<v Speaker 3>over there, and I never saw anything. But again, once

368
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I rationed it out in my brain, like there's nobody

369
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 3>up here, I don't need to go look.

370
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>There's just there's no kids here. Right.

371
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:24.240
<v Speaker 2>How far is that that location, the old chicken barn

372
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.400
<v Speaker 2>location from say the nearest tree line.

373
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.440
<v Speaker 3>One hundred feet maybe eighty feet.

374
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was all it was. They had to have

375
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>been in that tall grass in my in my pasture

376
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 1>on it. Then we had a lot more trees in

377
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>before the tornado and and but it was real, you know,

378
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>it was chest high yellow grass through there and that

379
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't brush hogged. And she feels like they were

380
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 1>in that tall grass.

381
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, and evergreens, and they you could easily walk

382
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 3>away from you and I'd never see you see them

383
00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 3>because of all the trees that we had at the time.

384
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:10.079
<v Speaker 2>It's just really interesting to me because this is at

385
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.599
<v Speaker 2>your house and that incident. You know, we talked about

386
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit yesterday on the phone. That was

387
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 2>at like around five o'clock in the afternoon, yes, right,

388
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and they're comfortable enough that they're coming up on the

389
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.400
<v Speaker 2>property in broad daylight.

390
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yep, yeah, and they and they were behind that pond,

391
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 1>damn at eight o'clock. And I've been pushed, you know,

392
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.599
<v Speaker 1>I've been I come out here every morning and cook

393
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, my breakfast, and then the second when it

394
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was at noon. Right.

395
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 3>And you know, up until last year, our grandkids, my son,

396
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.319
<v Speaker 3>his wife and the grandkids lived on the property. They

397
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 3>were in a different house, but they lived on the property.

398
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 3>So they're up here making noise all the time, and

399
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:00.599
<v Speaker 3>we just think it was the kids. They don't they

400
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:02.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't let them play outside at their house so much

401
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 3>because they're closer to the cliff, to the cliff and

402
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:07.799
<v Speaker 3>all that. But so they did all their playing up here.

403
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 3>And then last year, last summer, they bought a house

404
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and they're not out on the They come visit all

405
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.640
<v Speaker 3>the time, but they don't live on the property.

406
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.039
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, they were.

407
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 3>I really think that they were intrigued with the kids

408
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.680
<v Speaker 3>because we had a you know, we had a what

409
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.119
<v Speaker 3>do you call it a treehouse out here with you know,

410
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.680
<v Speaker 3>things they could climb and play on.

411
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 1>So they were just noisy kids.

412
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, when you got five kids under eight years old,

413
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 3>they're just noisy.

414
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

415
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 1>And so then before the end of the year and

416
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:42.400
<v Speaker 1>it's cold, it's it's almost the first of the year

417
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>at the tank batteries, which are about I don't know

418
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>how far you think that is. It's probably four hundred yards,

419
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 1>and we could hear beeping, like electronic beep, and I

420
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 1>was thinking a couple of different three nights. Yeah, it

421
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 1>was three nights in a row. So I go get

422
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>caring and come listen to this, and it would it

423
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 1>would be a beep beep, almost like a backup or

424
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a fire or you know, your smoke alarm detector or

425
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>or something like that.

426
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Like a real high pitched chirp sound.

427
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a chirp. Was a high

428
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 1>pitched chirp. But it's just a tad longer than a chirp.

429
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 3>Right, And uh so I'm good dealing night birds.

430
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Then yeah, we're trying to figure out what kind of

431
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>because what happened was the next night it moved from

432
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 1>the tank battery down into our canyon and on on

433
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 1>on down and around and we could hear it and

434
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>we we was preserved that it was a bird right

435
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.039
<v Speaker 1>of some kind. I don't know. It's the first time

436
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 1>we ever heard it. But then on New Year's night,

437
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 1>we had a party here and with all my kids

438
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and well they had they left that night anyway,

439
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 1>real late, and we're in the front yard, tell them goodnight,

440
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>down them good night, and we're on a ridge. If

441
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 1>you go fifty yards one way, you're heading downhill. If

442
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you go fifty yards the other way, you're heading downhill.

443
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 1>And by the driveway it drops off pretty good right there. Well,

444
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 1>we hear that same beep while we're telling our kids goodbye,

445
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>and we're looking at each other and like trying to

446
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>get them, get them out of here. Okay, love you guys,

447
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 1>get out go, you know. And the dog I got

448
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.079
<v Speaker 1>a pair in thees Lab mix and she's one hundred

449
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and thirty pounds and she's bad, just bone and she

450
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>stayed right with us. It was beeping right across the driveway.

451
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 1>And if if I had to say, I would say

452
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't more than thirty feet away from us. It

453
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was just in the tree line. It was just in

454
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the tree line. And men, it took off running down

455
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:02.680
<v Speaker 1>hill at about a thirty degree grade is down to

456
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.079
<v Speaker 1>where my brother is. And uh, and you could hear

457
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 1>every bipedal step in that in the in the leafs,

458
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 1>you know. But he wasn't wrecking the trees or nothing.

459
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>It was. He was just we can hear his steps.

460
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And he's when he kept beeping all the way down there.

461
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Now, how many dogs do you guys got?

462
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 1>We got, well, right now, we got four, four but

463
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 1>two were old. Two were old. They're just porch potatoes.

464
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And uh, me too.

465
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we got she We got a young one,

466
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 1>a male massive and uh he's part Anatolian shepherd and

467
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.119
<v Speaker 1>we raised him in the house and he's sharp as

468
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>attack and he's smart, and we got him for first

469
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 1>alert in the house. And I was sitting on the

470
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 1>couch in there one night and he come in there

471
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's barking through the wall toward the front door.

472
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean mean, he's mad and I and I couldn't

473
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. I never heard nothing. And then and

474
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 1>it took him a while to calm down, and I

475
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 1>was telling Caring about it. I said, that's crazy. I said,

476
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he was looking. I got a bash on the wall

477
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>there and all that on that front wall, and it's

478
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.359
<v Speaker 1>like he was looking straight at it. Well, what two

479
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>nights later, we were sitting in there, and when she

480
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 1>was in there, he started barking out our window where

481
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the air conditioner is, you know, just like that, I mean,

482
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.079
<v Speaker 1>just going crazy. And uh and and you know, right

483
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 1>in that area is where Karen had her incident with it. Right,

484
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and then after the first of the year, after after

485
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 1>that happened, after the first of the year.

486
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 3>You're talking Christmas of the twenty four Now we're into

487
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:57.160
<v Speaker 3>January of twenty five.

488
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And then uh, we just we're going to take a

489
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 1>trip and we're going to Minnesota, the guys, all the guys,

490
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>and and we had had a tornado that tore our barn,

491
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>our chicken barn out. Well that very night, you know,

492
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 1>it snowing, had snow out. And that very night I

493
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 1>had four of my grandkids, those three of them, three

494
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I had the old or three uh, helping me carry

495
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.400
<v Speaker 1>these chickens from one barn to the next, which is

496
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred yards. And we're going in the front

497
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 1>of the house, in the front of the house for

498
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of trips. They're going to carry one at

499
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a time, and uh, we decided to go around the back.

500
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And we was going around my back and the eight

501
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>year old said, hey, Grandpa, look it's there's a big

502
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>foot track. And I was like, well, cut up and

503
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>get that chicken. Come on, you know, I said, there,

504
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to look. You know, he's he

505
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>was swearing. So I went back started looking. Well, we

506
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:54.079
<v Speaker 1>found three and uh, the the two other ones were

507
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 1>partial from about the middle of the foot to the hill.

508
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 1>And and and I think that's because they it didn't

509
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.839
<v Speaker 1>show in the snow because it's so rocky up here,

510
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, where that rock is close to the surface,

511
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:12.839
<v Speaker 1>the snow melts quick. Yeah, And so I couldn't get

512
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 1>a good picture of them because I didn't do it

513
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 1>till the next day because Karen wasn't gonna let me

514
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>go back outside to its light. And so it was

515
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 1>about eleven thirty the next day. We were still packing,

516
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 1>going on our trip, and I and when my best

517
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>friend got here, we had tooken the picture, you know,

518
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in the snow, the one we sent you, the one

519
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 1>we sent you, and Boss dread and leaving and I

520
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 1>didn't have no time to go look anywhere, you know,

521
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I could tell the direction it was coming from and

522
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>where it was headed.

523
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 3>And this was within twenty thirty feet of my bedroom window.

524
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the steps were so when and then she don't

525
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>tell us nothing when we're in Minnesota, and when we

526
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 1>got back, then you tell your story. Yeah, so they

527
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 1>they leave.

528
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Everything's fine. First night here, I'm fine. I don't have

529
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:17.240
<v Speaker 3>any anything going on. And the second night there was

530
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.440
<v Speaker 3>just something going on outside. Just the dogs were not happy.

531
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.240
<v Speaker 3>They were agitated. They were you know, even my old

532
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 3>potato ports potato dogs, they're just they're agitated, and they're whining,

533
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 3>like what in the world is going on? And then

534
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:38.480
<v Speaker 3>something smacked the house. And I know what a house

535
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 3>shifting sounds like and feels like.

536
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>This was not that.

537
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.400
<v Speaker 3>This was something that smacked it and made the walls,

538
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, reverberate or whatever words you want to use.

539
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.400
<v Speaker 3>So that happened like the second night, and I'm just.

540
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Do what I thought you said in the morning too.

541
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Now, in the mornings, when I would go out from

542
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 3>my front door to the car, just something didn't feel right.

543
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.119
<v Speaker 3>You just kind of had that inkling that something's looking at.

544
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:10.039
<v Speaker 2>You or or you know, I don't know, it's still

545
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>dark out. I would imagine a lot of mornings.

546
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.000
<v Speaker 3>When you're leaving every morning. It doesn't matter what time

547
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.920
<v Speaker 3>of year I leave, It's dark when I leave. So

548
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 3>then the second morning that I headed out the door,

549
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 3>so they'd been gone a day, I had already got

550
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:25.880
<v Speaker 3>gone to work one day. The second morning that I

551
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.200
<v Speaker 3>go to work, I'm going out the front door and

552
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 3>it's dead quiet outside. We have, you know, crickets, everything's

553
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 3>going on up here. So I mean, it's just very

554
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.440
<v Speaker 3>eerily quiet. And I'm like, okay, I just need to

555
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.640
<v Speaker 3>get from this ten feet from my front door to

556
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the car. It'll be fine. And across the driveway, something

557
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 3>starts shaking this big evergreen tree. No noise is just

558
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 3>the evergreen tree is shaking and scared to be jeeps

559
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 3>out of me. But I'm like, whatever, I'm going to work.

560
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't have time for this. I jump in the

561
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 3>car and I leave. And then I get home that night,

562
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 3>more wall slaps have happened, and I'm sitting in my chair,

563
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.599
<v Speaker 3>and I mean, I've got I'm antsy, i am on edge.

564
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I got to have my wits about me.

565
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna be paying attention. I turned the TV off,

566
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 3>I said, I'm just gonna sit here and read a book.

567
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.839
<v Speaker 3>I got to be able to hear what's going on

568
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:24.359
<v Speaker 3>when these dogs lose their mind. Well, then I hear

569
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 3>my outside dogs and mind you, my porch potatoes.

570
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 1>They are cowards. But the other dog she is.

571
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I've seen her fight two and three coyotes

572
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.119
<v Speaker 3>at a time. She is aggressive if she's not scared

573
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 3>of anything. And I hear her whining on my front porch,

574
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 3>and then I hear her breaking through the skirting underneath

575
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:49.559
<v Speaker 3>my house to get underneath the house. And she's like crying,

576
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.680
<v Speaker 3>getting away from something. And you know, we're in a

577
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 3>modular home, so we sit about three or four feet

578
00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 3>off the ground. And I'm sitting in my refiner, so

579
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.480
<v Speaker 3>of course my floor is three to four feet.

580
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Off the ground. I don't know how tall.

581
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 3>And something starts growling at my porch, and I can

582
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 3>tell from where it's growling that it is seven eight

583
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:21.240
<v Speaker 3>feet tall at least wherever the mouth is of this thing.

584
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:23.279
<v Speaker 3>It's not down low where my dogs are.

585
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 1>It's high.

586
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 3>And the only I have listened to every growl that

587
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 3>you can think of that's possible out there, and it's

588
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 3>somewhere conglomerated between a crocodile growl and a gorilla growl

589
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:45.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of merged together. That's the best I can come

590
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:46.400
<v Speaker 3>up with.

591
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 2>And loud enough that you can hear it inside the.

592
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 3>House, loud enough that I can hear it inside the house.

593
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 1>And I.

594
00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:00.160
<v Speaker 3>And I've tried to explain that it's a grown like.

595
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't think the mouth was open. I feel like

596
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:08.079
<v Speaker 3>it was growling through teeth, you know. Not a not

597
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.679
<v Speaker 3>a roar, not nothing like that, just a growl. And

598
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm flipping every light that I have on outside at

599
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 3>this point, and I never saw anything, because I'm sure

600
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I made lots of noise trying to get to all

601
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.880
<v Speaker 3>the doors to turn all the outside likes on. I'm

602
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 3>sure I was not quiet, and it was scary and

603
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 3>it had to be something that scared my dogs, Yeah,

604
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:36.639
<v Speaker 3>because then I had to go outside the next day

605
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 3>after it got daylight to go fix the skirty But

606
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:45.360
<v Speaker 3>it was just something every single night while they were gone.

607
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 3>It was scared me enough that I went and bought

608
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 3>my own shotgun wow, and had it here at.

609
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.920
<v Speaker 1>The house by the time they got back. Yeah, she

610
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:57.519
<v Speaker 1>went and bought her an ar style of shotgun. Had

611
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:04.079
<v Speaker 1>two five round clips with double hot and and I'm I'm.

612
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 3>Just things don't normally bother me. I was pretty terrified

613
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 3>for a few days, but I didn't tell them anything

614
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 3>because I didn't want to mess up their trip.

615
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 1>You know.

616
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 3>I figured, worst case scenario, I'll just pack up and

617
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 3>go stay at my daughter's house or something if it

618
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 3>got too bad. But that the growl was the worst night.

619
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:24.480
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, I turned every light that we

620
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.880
<v Speaker 3>had on outside and it. The only thing that happened

621
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:32.320
<v Speaker 3>after that was like wall slaps and stuff. I do

622
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.519
<v Speaker 3>have a window air conditioning unit in my bedroom and

623
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:42.960
<v Speaker 3>something hit it one night. And then I heard and

624
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.599
<v Speaker 3>I want to say talking, but it was nothing that

625
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.079
<v Speaker 3>I understood. I told my husband, I said, I feel

626
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 3>like it was an accident. I feel like they ran

627
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 3>into it with their head or hit their shoulder and

628
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 3>they were grumbling because it hurt. And then another voice

629
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.400
<v Speaker 3>was maybe making fun of it or grumbling with it

630
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:03.039
<v Speaker 3>or something.

631
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't. I can't explain what I heard.

632
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 3>It was just two, for sure, it was two, and

633
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.800
<v Speaker 3>it was it was chattering.

634
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Talking how high up is the air conditioner?

635
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.639
<v Speaker 3>If I was standing outside and I'm five foot four,

636
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 3>and if I was standing outside, the top of it

637
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 3>would be taller than me. Yeah, and the bottom of

638
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:27.760
<v Speaker 3>it maybe about chin.

639
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.639
<v Speaker 1>High to me. Maybe it's not a big unit.

640
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's not a big unit. It's a small unit outside.

641
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:36.679
<v Speaker 1>And then it come around in the front of the

642
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.119
<v Speaker 1>house one night, slapped the house where her head where

643
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:43.039
<v Speaker 1>she sleeps, yep, right where her head is. And then

644
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>she's telling me about all this. And then I'm standing

645
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>in the window in the kitchen, which is about the

646
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 1>middle of the house, and she's taking a shower, and

647
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:57.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's dark thirty, you know, it just got dark,

648
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 1>and and I'm there and messing around and sink and

649
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.199
<v Speaker 1>and the whole house shook, and I mean it felt like,

650
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, ups back then, he never he'd never experienced

651
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the house slaps. Now, I haven't heard none of them.

652
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 1>And and then at that time she was it slapped

653
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 1>at her when she was in the shower, she was

654
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 1>taking a shower, and she come running out there and

655
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>slapping the shower wall with me in it, you know,

656
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and a bunch more ash, you know.

657
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.719
<v Speaker 3>And that's when he finally said, that's what that's that's

658
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 3>what you're talking about.

659
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yes, it makes the whole house.

660
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:34.840
<v Speaker 4>It did.

661
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 1>It felt like, you know, like a one time truck

662
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 1>backed into it.

663
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever hear anything messing with like the doorknobs

664
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that.

665
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 1>No, no, never have no.

666
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:53.440
<v Speaker 3>So to backtrack a little bit, we have chickens and this.

667
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Is before the tornado.

668
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:57.199
<v Speaker 3>So all the chickens were in the original chicken barn,

669
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.159
<v Speaker 3>and it's it was a free range. They had the

670
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 3>ability to go in and out anytime they wanted to.

671
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Is a big door. You know, a horse could have

672
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>walked in there.

673
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 3>And we were getting easily a dozen eggs a day,

674
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.199
<v Speaker 3>sometimes almost two dozen a day.

675
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>And we went how many months, probably four or five four.

676
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Months maybe not getting a single egg, one none.

677
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Just getting cleaned out.

678
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And I knew it was going in barn because

679
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I had these tubs that i'd pour my scratch grain

680
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 1>feed in, and you know those two pound scoops that

681
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.440
<v Speaker 1>you get, you know to throw out horse feed, Well,

682
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:41.559
<v Speaker 1>i'd give I'd give them things a two you know,

683
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a two pound scoop, you know, every morning, while I

684
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.800
<v Speaker 1>reached in there to grab that thing, and I always

685
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:49.840
<v Speaker 1>just stick it back down in it, and it was

686
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.320
<v Speaker 1>laying on top of the grain. And when I picked

687
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it up, it was like all the way around the

688
00:38:56.519 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 1>rim of it, on top and bottom had grass green

689
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:03.280
<v Speaker 1>stuck to it like it used it as a spoon.

690
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh yep, and was eating with that that, you know,

691
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 1>that shovel like a spoon, because it had to have

692
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 1>got that whole edge is wet. And when it put

693
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it back down in there, it all stepped to it.

694
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you leave dog food and stuff out outside?

695
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>The dog food we have We got a an automatic

696
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:28.519
<v Speaker 1>feeder and it and it's inside my shop and and

697
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I've not had any problem with it in there. And

698
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 1>then when we moved the chickens to the new barn,

699
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we quit getting eggs for quite a while. Then we

700
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 1>started putting baby powder on the door knobs and it quit.

701
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.039
<v Speaker 1>And fake eggs and fake eggs. I put a fake

702
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 1>egg in there and it disappeared.

703
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

704
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:51.159
<v Speaker 1>And you know one of them ceramic ones. Yeah, you

705
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.440
<v Speaker 1>can buy a dozen of them. That keeps them. Chickens

706
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.079
<v Speaker 1>will peck on it and it hurts their heads so

707
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.000
<v Speaker 1>they won't peck their own eggs. And I put big

708
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.239
<v Speaker 1>red eggs on them, you know, So don't bring them

709
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>back in the house. But they looked just like a

710
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>regular egg disappeared, and I said, I'm gonna put that

711
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.159
<v Speaker 1>fake egg in there and see what happened, and it

712
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>was gone.

713
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, anything that would normally take a chicken

714
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:14.800
<v Speaker 2>egg would not take one of those.

715
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.559
<v Speaker 1>No, No, they don't even no, I.

716
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Mean you know, like you know, just think like possums,

717
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:26.039
<v Speaker 2>raccoons or whatever. They're going to recognize the smells different

718
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're not even going to mess with it.

719
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 1>So they well they usually my been my experienced possums

720
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and all of them, they will make the mess right there,

721
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, there are cells everywhere, and there'll be this,

722
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and there's no shells nowhere, and that egg was nowhere

723
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:49.039
<v Speaker 1>to be found. Huh. But they've never they've never killed

724
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>any of our chickens now. And I'm surprised because after

725
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that tornado, you know, that built that barn was leaning

726
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 1>like the Tirapieza, and yeah, it looked like he was

727
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.199
<v Speaker 1>about to come down, but never lost the scene.

728
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys notice any changes in the stuff that

729
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.280
<v Speaker 2>was happening after the tornado?

730
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>It increased, Yeah, it increased. My best friend he helped

731
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 1>us during the tornado or right after it. And but

732
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a day after it, he went turkey hunting and he

733
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:33.440
<v Speaker 1>followed the edge of the tornado down all the way down.

734
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>It was like, you know, he went at four o'clock

735
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.800
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, and you normally hunt that area. He

736
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:42.840
<v Speaker 1>knows it good. But he got down in there and

737
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he got turned around because there was so much tornado damage.

738
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:48.519
<v Speaker 1>So he thought, well, he'd just picked a spot and

739
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:52.559
<v Speaker 1>sit down, and so he did. And he said, about

740
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:56.840
<v Speaker 1>not even thirty minutes, forty five minutes, there was a

741
00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:01.599
<v Speaker 1>big wood knot behind him, you know, way west of him,

742
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.239
<v Speaker 1>and uh, he said, it felt like a three quarters

743
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a mile or so. And he said, in about an

744
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:11.280
<v Speaker 1>hour an hour and a half later, he said, wasn't

745
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't getting daylight and he was and he just

746
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:18.599
<v Speaker 1>started getting nervous and getting scared and just didn't feel right.

747
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:22.480
<v Speaker 1>And then he can here's something breathing in all that

748
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>tornado damage behind him, and uh, and so he's he

749
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>shines his light back there and he's looking and he

750
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>don't see nothing. And he said it sounds like a

751
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:38.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, two thousand pounds brahma bulls with asthma and

752
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I used to have a about twenty bucking bull down

753
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:44.079
<v Speaker 1>here all the time, so we knew what that sounded like.

754
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And uh, he's listening and listening, and he says, the

755
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.039
<v Speaker 1>next thing, I know, he said. He said he could

756
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.519
<v Speaker 1>feel it breathe. He said he could feel it sniffing

757
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for it. He could hear it sniffing for him, and

758
00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 1>then he could feel it sniffing on him. He said

759
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.480
<v Speaker 1>he could fill it sniffing on the back of his neck.

760
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.159
<v Speaker 1>He said he didn't. He said he was so scared.

761
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.360
<v Speaker 1>He didn't turn around. He didn't do nothing. And he said,

762
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 1>but and he said that was it. He never heard

763
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:15.199
<v Speaker 1>it leave and never did anything else. I mean, he

764
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:18.440
<v Speaker 1>said it had to have left, you know. And when

765
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>when it was daylight he got up, he said, I

766
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't even look around, he said, and I seen him

767
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.840
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the woods because we were all out

768
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.280
<v Speaker 1>here cutting trees off my fence from the tornadoes. And

769
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.400
<v Speaker 1>he just got in his truck and left, you know.

770
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:37.280
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't talk to him for two weeks, and

771
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.360
<v Speaker 1>then he said, hey, I got to talk to you,

772
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and and well, and then he started telling me other

773
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>stories because he's the only one that turkey hunts out here.

774
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't go turkey hunting. And he said he's been

775
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>paralleled out of there, you know, two or three times,

776
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he never said nothing to me about

777
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it until this incident. But he was white as a ghost,

778
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:02.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it when he came out of there and it

779
00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:05.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he just left it. Didn't say a word,

780
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:06.960
<v Speaker 1>he just left.

781
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys got a lot of hunters that go

782
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:09.920
<v Speaker 2>in and out of the property.

783
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, Now I can go a whole I've

784
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:18.559
<v Speaker 1>went a whole gun season and not heard a shot

785
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.679
<v Speaker 1>from you know, maybe I hear a shot that sounds

786
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.239
<v Speaker 1>like they're about five six, seven miles away, you know.

787
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're real particular. It's mainly just family, but not

788
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:32.360
<v Speaker 3>very many.

789
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, and there was a when we when

790
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.599
<v Speaker 1>we first moved out here, there's a group of guys

791
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that used to hunt out here, and there was probably

792
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.559
<v Speaker 1>thirty of them and they'd come up and kick seven boats.

793
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 1>This is the late nineties, and they come up and

794
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:54.519
<v Speaker 1>they did that for years all up till to almost

795
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 1>right about the time I heard that first screen six

796
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in twenty six team and uh and nice guys. I

797
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:07.280
<v Speaker 1>talked to them because we used to have people, you know,

798
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>camp on us and letter and all that. And these

799
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:12.559
<v Speaker 1>guys are great guys, and they did it every year.

800
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I never bothered them, never talked to them, nless. They

801
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:17.880
<v Speaker 1>was just happened to be broken by.

802
00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they had to come up the river to get

803
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.679
<v Speaker 3>on the public land, and the only way to get there.

804
00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting out here one night and uh, all hell

805
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:30.320
<v Speaker 1>breaks loose, and this is like one o'clock in the morning,

806
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and I know exactly where they're camping. I can see them.

807
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I've seen their like every night during their season. Down

808
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>there there they're fire and their lanterns, and I could

809
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.199
<v Speaker 1>hear them talking and laughing. And uh, but about one o'clock,

810
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all hell broke loose and every it sounded like every

811
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 1>one of them was shooting down there. It sounded like

812
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:54.760
<v Speaker 1>nine millimeters rifles. It sounded like everything. Like I said,

813
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.480
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like a war. And uh, and my son

814
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:02.800
<v Speaker 1>had just gotten out the military, and uh, he had

815
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.760
<v Speaker 1>took the game ranger down there, and he said that

816
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 1>them guys left in a hurry. They left a bunch

817
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:12.039
<v Speaker 1>of stuff behind and left clothes lines up in the

818
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the trees, there was a hog leg

819
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:19.760
<v Speaker 1>hanging in you know, one and and and and I mean,

820
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just guessing that they had shot hogs earlier that

821
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:26.519
<v Speaker 1>day and I had hung them all up, and them

822
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and them things came in there to get them hogs

823
00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:33.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever and and scared them guys. And they've never

824
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 1>been back. They've never been back since. And they were

825
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:39.480
<v Speaker 1>this is thirty guys that were religious about this. I

826
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:40.679
<v Speaker 1>mean for two weeks.

827
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:42.840
<v Speaker 3>They would stay out there in these big army huge,

828
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.760
<v Speaker 3>big army tents with stoves.

829
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And fireplace everything in them. And ever since we lived here,

830
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:51.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, for thirty years. And then all of a

831
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.679
<v Speaker 1>sudden boom, they after that night, they we hadn't seen

832
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:58.239
<v Speaker 1>them since. And and when we thought what was weird,

833
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:02.159
<v Speaker 1>we got another neighbor east of us. Well, he calls

834
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>me in the middle of the night and uh, he's

835
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.039
<v Speaker 1>a cowboy, got you know, he's got a big ranch

836
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and he runs a lot of cattle and uh, and

837
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>he calls me in the middle of the night. He said,

838
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he said, there is army guys going past and through

839
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:22.800
<v Speaker 1>my pasture, hiding behind my barn, working their way through

840
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.519
<v Speaker 1>my property. And he said, they're all in black offs

841
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.199
<v Speaker 1>uniforms with nothing on them, heading you know, and he's

842
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of miles away, and he said, and they're

843
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.960
<v Speaker 1>heading your way. We're like what And I was like what. Yeah.

844
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:38.320
<v Speaker 1>We was both like what in the hell was going

845
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 1>on here? But well, I mean I didn't stand out

846
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:43.480
<v Speaker 1>there and watch for him now, but we never heard

847
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:47.840
<v Speaker 1>or seen anything which was which was pretty weird.

848
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, other incidents that we've had beyond the that late

849
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:56.280
<v Speaker 3>night call off, we've seen government vehicles out here after

850
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:57.679
<v Speaker 3>weird things have happened.

851
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, several times. I mean we've seen a cow that

852
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:05.840
<v Speaker 1>got ripped on its haunches. I mean so deep it

853
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.119
<v Speaker 1>looked like shark gis moving, you know. And they had

854
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:12.760
<v Speaker 1>game Wards. They had everybody out here. Uh, there was

855
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.039
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of cars and trucks out here, and but

856
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:19.519
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't say nothing. And then my neighbor same thing,

857
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the same exact cars, the same exact government car and

858
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:28.280
<v Speaker 1>game Ward and trucks and these were black trucks were

859
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:31.280
<v Speaker 1>over in his pasture, and I went and asked the

860
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:33.400
<v Speaker 1>owners about it. You know, a couple of weeks later,

861
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:36.280
<v Speaker 1>they drove off of me and they wouldn't even talk

862
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to me, and you know, and these people were elderly

863
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that were chatty. Kathy's up until that point, Yeah, talked

864
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>to us all the time. And they haven't talked to

865
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:45.199
<v Speaker 1>us since.

866
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:50.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, if livestock gets attacked by, say, you know,

867
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 2>a mountain lion or cougar or whatever, sometimes it gets reported,

868
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, to let the local officials know, you know,

869
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.119
<v Speaker 2>hey there's a predator in the area or whatever. But

870
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't get response like that.

871
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 1>No, No, Well, Karen had killed a mountain lion one

872
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:09.079
<v Speaker 1>one year in a deep snow getting onto the high

873
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.119
<v Speaker 1>was getting onto the highway. It was a deep snow.

874

875
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:19.239
<v Speaker 1>she had ran over it. And so she called me

876
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and I went down there. It was two messed up,

877

00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:27.800
<v Speaker 1>everywhere out here.

880
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's just really weird that you'd have that sort

881
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.559
<v Speaker 2>of government response to a cow injury.

882
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Right right right to a single cow injury. Yeah, and

883
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that was yeah, yeah, and that was on a big

884
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.320
<v Speaker 1>ranch and uh and and Karen and I both you

885
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:56.280
<v Speaker 1>witnessed that. And then it wasn't even a week a

886
00:49:56.360 --> 00:50:00.440
<v Speaker 1>week later when it happened across from us. The owns

889
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just his property. And uh, it happened there. And

890
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:14.480
<v Speaker 1>then it happened at the entrance to where you come

891
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:17.440
<v Speaker 1>into our turn off the main gravel, I should say,

892
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:19.719
<v Speaker 1>because it's another mile and a half down in here

893
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:23.639
<v Speaker 1>to us. And uh, but there's two donkeys out there

894
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:28.199
<v Speaker 1>and it and that that biggest one got his half

895
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:31.320
<v Speaker 1>as butt toore off, you know, in the same time period.

896
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 2>So something was going through the area attacking livestock.

897
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, And I just you can't convince me that

898
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.000
<v Speaker 3>a mountain lion attacks two donkeys our mules.

899
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:48.079
<v Speaker 1>I just don't see it. We had donkeys when I

900
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.239
<v Speaker 1>had all these bulls and I was having these calves

901
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:55.199
<v Speaker 1>out here, and we had a couple of donkeys, and

902
00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean they fought with my dogs. They would catch

903
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they would, you know, because people have wild dogs out

904
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:06.679
<v Speaker 1>here too, kyot and kyots. But I washed that donkey

905
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:10.119
<v Speaker 1>catch a wild dog and let my dogs tear it up. Yeah,

906
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, they work together and they're just mean as ever.

907
00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you don't want to mess with no donkey.

908
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:21.199
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't see nothing jumping in there with the

909
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:26.159
<v Speaker 1>two donkeys, you know, because they're gonna fight and bite

910
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're gonna do it.

911
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:33.119
<v Speaker 3>And then again talking about our great Pyrenees dog that's

912
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 3>not afraid of anything. Again, you know, she's out here.

913
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:39.199
<v Speaker 3>She's a working dog. She sleeps most of the day

914
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:41.920
<v Speaker 3>and she works all night keeping everything away from the house.

915
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.800
<v Speaker 3>But it was getting dark and we had the door open,

916
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.480
<v Speaker 3>and we hear her barking, which is not unusual. She

917
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:55.440
<v Speaker 3>barks at everything. And then we hear her screaming for

918
00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:58.199
<v Speaker 3>her life, for her life, and we can hear her

919
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.639
<v Speaker 3>running back up to the house. And she gets up here,

920
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:04.159
<v Speaker 3>and I mean, she's screaming, and she spins around and

921
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:05.599
<v Speaker 3>she starts barking back.

922
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:07.840
<v Speaker 1>At the trees and she's stumping her front feet at

923
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.679
<v Speaker 1>the trees. Yeah. And I got the spotlight and I'm

924
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:13.159
<v Speaker 1>shining at the trees, and I can hear a few

925
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:16.360
<v Speaker 1>steps just in the edge of the tree line, and

926
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't more than fifty yards from the back of

927
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:24.559
<v Speaker 1>our porch. And I'm shining every I can see nothing

928
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:27.039
<v Speaker 1>chasing her, and usually if it's a coyo, they will

929
00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:29.400
<v Speaker 1>chase her all the way to the porch and they'll

930
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:34.679
<v Speaker 1>fight right here right almost every time. But whatever it was,

931
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.079
<v Speaker 1>it stopped in the woods and I'm shining a light

932
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and I never heard it leave. And then she's barking

933
00:52:40.519 --> 00:52:43.039
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not noticing her. When she comes back around,

934
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I could see her head bleeding well, and she's snow white.

935
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:49.039
<v Speaker 1>And so I made her come up on the porch

936
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and she's got a two inch long gash on right

937
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:55.559
<v Speaker 1>dead center in the middle of her head, and you

938
00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:59.559
<v Speaker 1>know about it look like a blade whips, you know,

939
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a good the hunting knife blades, and that all of

940
00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.639
<v Speaker 1>the meat and the hair was punched down into the

941
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.840
<v Speaker 1>womb like she had been hitting with a rock. Huh.

942
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And and it was wasn't five minutes. She had a

943
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:17.679
<v Speaker 1>nod on her head that was better than a peach.

944
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:20.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she had a she was a knothead for a while.

945
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.840
<v Speaker 1>That was not a claw mark. It was definitely an impact. Yeah,

946
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you could tell it was an impact.

947
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, claws will tear it outward. Yeah, definitely sounds like

948
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:32.280
<v Speaker 2>sometime hit it.

949
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, for sure, you know, And then and and

950
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just been crazy.

951
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, whenever you think they're around to the dogs act

952
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:46.719
<v Speaker 2>aggressive towards them normally. I know you said that one

953
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:48.880
<v Speaker 2>time it got underneath the house or whatever.

954
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Every time I've been in the area where them dogs,

955
00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and when I think something's going on, they eater ran

956
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:02.639
<v Speaker 1>off or I can't see them. Yeah. Like, I was

957
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:07.440
<v Speaker 1>brush hogging after the tornado, this back pasture and and

958
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I had my I had my back to the canyon

959
00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm about halfway up the pasture and I get

960
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:17.000
<v Speaker 1>hit in the back. Well, I think that brush hog

961
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:20.119
<v Speaker 1>hit a rock, you know, and got me in the back.

962
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And I come all the way up to the top

963
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and I was getting ready to turn around. I skidded back.

964
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I kept sitting on it, and I pulled it out

965
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:29.920
<v Speaker 1>from under me, and it was a it was a

966
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:33.559
<v Speaker 1>hickory nut, old, big, old greenhickory nut. And it's not

967
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a mark on it. So you know, it didn't come

968
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:39.960
<v Speaker 1>out from underneath that brush hog. But even if it did,

969
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the way these newer A tractors are made, you can't

970
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:46.079
<v Speaker 1>get hit by your brush hog anymore. You know, there's

971
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so much between you and it, you know, shielding your

972
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:53.880
<v Speaker 1>legs and uh, and they said in the middle. It

973
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:55.320
<v Speaker 1>just hit me right in the middle of back, and

974
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it left a pretty good mark, didn't it care? I

975
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.559
<v Speaker 1>mean it it was isn't no love? Tap by no

976
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:03.280
<v Speaker 1>means Yeah.

977
00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you about that actually, because

978
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you hear stories of screams and roars and you know,

979
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:17.199
<v Speaker 2>rock throwing or whatever whenever people are using brush hogs

980
00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:22.039
<v Speaker 2>or lawnmowers or chainsaws and that, right, that kind of

981
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:26.039
<v Speaker 2>goes right along lines with that same stuff.

982
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:26.320
<v Speaker 3>You know.

983
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 2>It seems like something about the loud machinery like that

984
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:31.519
<v Speaker 2>they don't.

985
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Like, right, And that's the first and only time I've

986
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:38.280
<v Speaker 1>been hit, and you know, when I had to slow

987
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:42.800
<v Speaker 1>down out here doing stuff and cutting tornado damage down

988
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and cutting firewood, and you know, but you can definitely

989
00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:50.079
<v Speaker 1>feel it in there, can't you tear? Yeah?

990
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:52.719
<v Speaker 3>You can tell on the nights that it's different out here.

991
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>And the nights that it's just a normal night. Yeah, easily.

992
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you think they're in that area you're around or

993
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:02.159
<v Speaker 2>is it seasonal?

994
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know, we'll go we'll go to us

995
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:10.440
<v Speaker 1>three months and not hear or nothing. You know, But

996
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:15.920
<v Speaker 1>like I was telling you, I talked to Brian Terroll

997
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and uh, he had run across a a game ranger

998
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and and they said, oh yeah, this time of the year,

999
00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he said, they're usually on this side the highway, not

1000
00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:30.760
<v Speaker 1>on the you know, and then in the summer they

1001
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:32.599
<v Speaker 1>go south of the highway.

1002
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:36.119
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to give away any details about your

1003
00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:39.519
<v Speaker 2>location or anything, but I mean, you guys are off

1004
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in there.

1005
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You're yeah, we're a way and.

1006
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:48.639
<v Speaker 2>It's it's remote and rough country there. There's no chance

1007
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:54.199
<v Speaker 2>that you know, people are coming in, you know, unexpectedly.

1008
00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's trespassing out there or anything like that.

1009
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, my dogs would have them if they were, trust

1010
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:05.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, if they were doing stuff like that, and

1011
00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:06.679
<v Speaker 1>there's it's.

1012
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:11.079
<v Speaker 3>Remote enough out here, and we're we know our neighbors

1013
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:13.760
<v Speaker 3>or our neighbors know us, and you kind of just

1014
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.079
<v Speaker 3>know everybody's vehicles, so you would know if it was

1015
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:19.920
<v Speaker 3>a strange vehicle out here or something like that. Yeah,

1016
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:22.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean, somebody be called, you know, we think somebody

1017
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.960
<v Speaker 3>went down your road or something, you know, on those.

1018
00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Lines, right, But I haven't asked none of the neighbors

1019
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:32.039
<v Speaker 1>about any of it. Because we had a mountain lion

1020
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.800
<v Speaker 1>out here and it went between my son's hunting cabin

1021
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and my brother's house right there in the middle of

1022
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the day, come up the cliff and walked through the yard,

1023
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I was and then that that's when that

1024
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:51.159
<v Speaker 1>donkey up there got his butt tore on. And I

1025
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.920
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to say nothing about it being a big

1026
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:56.840
<v Speaker 1>food or anything. I just told them that I just

1027
00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.920
<v Speaker 1>went to these houses and like I said, these houses

1028
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:04.039
<v Speaker 1>about a mile apart, and I nobody believed me. And

1029
00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I told him, you know, there's a predator in the area.

1030
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:09.599
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I didn't tell him Bigfoot. I said,

1031
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:13.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a mountain lion. I'm pretty sure. Well, they didn't

1032
00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:16.679
<v Speaker 1>believe in it, the mountain lion, the mountain lion. So

1033
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't going to say nothing about Bigfoot, you know.

1034
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:25.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the guy, he's lived just neighbor. You got

1035
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>to drive for him to get to us, and he's

1036
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:33.119
<v Speaker 1>been here for fifty sixty years. And then when I

1037
00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:36.559
<v Speaker 1>told him about the mountain lion, you know, he practically

1038
00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:40.239
<v Speaker 1>called me a liar, And so I wasn't I wasn't

1039
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:41.840
<v Speaker 1>going to say nothing about Bigfoot.

1040
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:44.880
<v Speaker 2>There's no way people have lived out there that long

1041
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and not noticed stuff.

1042
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know how. And this guy's a coon

1043
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:52.119
<v Speaker 1>hunter and everything.

1044
00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:56.679
<v Speaker 3>We do have one neighbor that has talked to us

1045
00:58:56.679 --> 00:58:57.039
<v Speaker 3>about it.

1046
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:00.800
<v Speaker 1>He'd have his own stories, but oh yeah, and he

1047
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:06.880
<v Speaker 1>he's the next policeman and uh, he's he's like our

1048
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:11.960
<v Speaker 1>next neighbor. And he's about two miles Yeah, and uh

1049
00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got to talk and I told him about all this

1050
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and him, I mean, he believed me one percent. He

1051
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.679
<v Speaker 1>had his own experience with about eight or ten other

1052
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:24.840
<v Speaker 1>cops down in the Commission Mountains. Oh wow, standing there

1053
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:27.039
<v Speaker 1>where it shook a big army kit down on him.

1054
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:29.559
<v Speaker 1>And he said that was the thing they used to

1055
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:31.960
<v Speaker 1>do every year. All it's all these guys he went

1056
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:36.199
<v Speaker 1>to Cleet school with and uh and they made a

1057
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.199
<v Speaker 1>deal where they was going down there hunting every year.

1058
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:40.880
<v Speaker 1>And he said after that, they've never been back. I

1059
00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:43.480
<v Speaker 1>think the guys that used to hunt down Yeah, he's

1060
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:46.280
<v Speaker 1>like the guys that used to hunt down here. But uh,

1061
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's also you know, he was a sheriff. He

1062
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:55.559
<v Speaker 1>got called in on a complaint on Highway eleven and uh,

1063
00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:59.280
<v Speaker 1>when he gets there, he sees his trash can getting

1064
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:02.320
<v Speaker 1>knocked plumber cross the road on Highway Eleaven. Well, he

1065
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>comes whipping in there because he knows something's going on,

1066
01:00:06.519 --> 01:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and he whips in there and he said, the damn

1067
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>he said, it looked like the biggest German shepherd he'd

1068
01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>ever seen is looking down at him in his police car. Yeah,

1069
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>and he has an SUV not a car. Yeah, and

1070
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>he had an SUV car.

1071
01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Have you guys changed your behavior since all this stuff

1072
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>has started happening, You've kind of figured out what's going on?

1073
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Are you like afraid of it?

1074
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I would say the main thing we've done is we

1075
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:35.079
<v Speaker 3>don't let the kids play outside by themselves, but we

1076
01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:36.480
<v Speaker 3>still let them play outside.

1077
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:40.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I used to, you know, go out here

1078
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.079
<v Speaker 1>at night and fish the pond or go do that,

1079
01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>and you know, fish the creek. And I don't do

1080
01:00:48.360 --> 01:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that by myself. I go do it with my son

1081
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>or you know, stuff like that. But mainly we don't.

1082
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.239
<v Speaker 1>We don't spend as much time out at night, right

1083
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>because I used to work out in my shop and

1084
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>do all kinds of stuff out here all night, wandering

1085
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>around in the woods. And hell, I tracked my deer

1086
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>at night, you know, And you could make me do

1087
01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that for a million bucks, I think.

1088
01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:16.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm just probably more aware of my surroundings, whereas.

1089
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>We're definitely that's it hasn't been off our minds since

1090
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>this has happened. Yeah before, I'd probably.

1091
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Just go be bopping out and didn't think anything about nothing,

1092
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, just shoot out the front door, take my time.

1093
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm way more aware.

1094
01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:35.159
<v Speaker 3>I flip on lights, I really look around before I

1095
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:35.960
<v Speaker 3>go outside.

1096
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't believe on hindsight how many times

1097
01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I've been, you know, paralleled around here right and then

1098
01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>or you know, go hiking off down in the woods

1099
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:53.119
<v Speaker 1>to the creek and got paralleled down through there, and

1100
01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>but I never thought nothing about it. But nothing ever

1101
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>scared me.

1102
01:01:56.440 --> 01:01:59.119
<v Speaker 3>And I never how many times I heard wood knocks

1103
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:00.480
<v Speaker 3>and didn't put to ino together.

1104
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>But none of that HAPs they they haven't, I guess

1105
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:10.679
<v Speaker 1>they haven't, you know, infrasound us or anything like that,

1106
01:02:11.639 --> 01:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't. I haven't never had a sick feeling.

1107
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And and I'm and I'm and we've been close, you know,

1108
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>when they was across the street that that wasn't thirty feet.

1109
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:27.119
<v Speaker 3>And then the only time I've truly been scared was

1110
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>when they were out of the state, when it was

1111
01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>up here. I was up here by myself. That's the

1112
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:33.199
<v Speaker 3>only time we've been scared.

1113
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't had a scary moment.

1114
01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys got bugger lights outside?

1115
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Yeah, we got spot lights out and gain camera

1116
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>and but it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Yeah, down

1117
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>on down on the creek, there's an area where another

1118
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>creek comes in and on the point of it, there's

1119
01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>some big trees. They're about a foot in diameter and

1120
01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>they're broken in five different directions. There's five of them

1121
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>in a circle, and this circle is probably ten or

1122
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:15.239
<v Speaker 1>twelve foot in the center. And uh. And these trees

1123
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>are broken all the way over, but not laying on

1124
01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the ground. The tops are broken out of them, you

1125
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:24.199
<v Speaker 1>know where there's no limbs hidting nowhere. They're just broke

1126
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:29.159
<v Speaker 1>over logs pretty much in five different directions. And uh.

1127
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:33.159
<v Speaker 1>And there's trees in the middle and all around them,

1128
01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and not one single tree has been touched. But they've

1129
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>all been over in such a way that, I mean,

1130
01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:43.639
<v Speaker 1>they're all exactly the same. And it looks like you know,

1131
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a Chinese handcuff when you bend it over and just

1132
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:51.079
<v Speaker 1>a fiber of the wood is stretching and sticking, you know,

1133
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and all in a circle. And I've took in a

1134
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of different people over that way fishing and showed

1135
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>them that. And this one guy, you know, he's an engineer.

1136
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>He's in his agenes, he's looking at it and he

1137
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:11.599
<v Speaker 1>gets out and he says, I got nothing. Man, I

1138
01:04:11.679 --> 01:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know how this happened, you know. I mean it

1139
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>was so strange. But there's also quite a bit of

1140
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:26.119
<v Speaker 1>structure down there there. And then you know when we

1141
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>found stones on top of yellow grass, rocks on top

1142
01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>of yellow grass where there should be twelve foot of water,

1143
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, and smashed hogs that looked like they they

1144
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>were so decayed. It looked like it just didn't have

1145
01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:46.599
<v Speaker 1>no bones in it. And naturally my pyrenees rolled all

1146
01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in it.

1147
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Those tree brakes. Were they pointed in specific directions or

1148
01:04:53.639 --> 01:04:56.239
<v Speaker 2>anything that you could tell or was it just kind

1149
01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>of random?

1150
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh? It was almost uh a perfect circle of them,

1151
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they was pointing north, south, east, and west.

1152
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, there was five of them though

1153
01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>they formed a circle like they formed a circle with.

1154
01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>That's so weird. And you told me about the rock

1155
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>thing yesterday as well. How many rocks was it.

1156
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>There were there were I went hiking and the rocks,

1157
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>went hiking and there were no rocks. There were no rocks.

1158
01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>And the next time I go hiking and she came back.

1159
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>When I came back to there, there was four rocks

1160
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a row and there and they're, like I said,

1161
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:41.679
<v Speaker 1>normally that creek area was about twelve foot deep, but

1162
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:44.519
<v Speaker 1>it had had dried up because we had a you know,

1163
01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty drought and uh and uh. I just couldn't figure

1164
01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that out. And that's when my dog come down around

1165
01:05:54.360 --> 01:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the hill and stunk and just covered in just like

1166
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:03.199
<v Speaker 1>black blood, you know what I mean, Yeah, black wild blood.

1167
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:06.039
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, where in the heck did you

1168
01:06:06.079 --> 01:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>get all that at? And so I followed her around

1169
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>up there and and and then found that and I

1170
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>got then I got out of there. But it was

1171
01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:20.079
<v Speaker 1>that was so old, you know, but the rocks wasn't Now.

1172
01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:22.719
<v Speaker 3>The rocks weren't there when that they were there when

1173
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:23.280
<v Speaker 3>he came out.

1174
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Did you get the feeling that the rocks were put

1175
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:27.239
<v Speaker 2>there for you to see?

1176
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think so it was why in plain, wide open,

1177
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:36.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was pretty much the bottom of the creek,

1178
01:06:36.280 --> 01:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so there wasn't nothing in any direction. There wasn't no

1179
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>other rocks in that creek anywhere or on the bank.

1180
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>There was no rocks nowhere but those four in an

1181
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>exact line.

1182
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:52.920
<v Speaker 3>And the grass was frosted over, and that was still

1183
01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>frosted over under the rocks.

1184
01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:57.239
<v Speaker 1>It was still frozen under the rocks. It was after

1185
01:06:57.360 --> 01:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that ice storm we had, I think in the end

1186
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>up twenty four that in January of twenty four, I

1187
01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>think that's when it was. But we had an ice

1188
01:07:07.639 --> 01:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>storm on that Sunday night and I went that Monday,

1189
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and walking down in through there, it looked all it

1190
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>was pretty odd to do that because it looked like

1191
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>an ice castle down in there. Yeah, you know, with

1192
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>everything frozen.

1193
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And with everything that you guys are talking about going

1194
01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:26.519
<v Speaker 2>on and everything, like you said, you hadn't been hit

1195
01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>with any infrasound or anything like that. You did have

1196
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the incident with the dog. But they're not taking the chickens.

1197
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just think they're trying to be as

1198
01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>neighborly as they can.

1199
01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:45.039
<v Speaker 1>That's what my son is saying. That's what because you know,

1200
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:48.119
<v Speaker 1>he's a big time believer now, because I mean he's

1201
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:50.679
<v Speaker 1>print the footprint, done it for him, and he's heard

1202
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>knocks and some weird stuff too, but it was a

1203
01:07:54.440 --> 01:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>footprint that done it. And you know, he grew up

1204
01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>out here and he's hunted and every bit of all

1205
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>this and been all over this place. And he so

1206
01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:07.119
<v Speaker 1>he's not scared, he said, if it's been out here

1207
01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:10.119
<v Speaker 1>that long, he said, it didn't bother me. He said,

1208
01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I ain't worried about it. Yeah. And man, my daughter

1209
01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>feels the same way. You know, She's like, it didn't

1210
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:21.199
<v Speaker 1>bother her either. They go out and do whatever they

1211
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:22.119
<v Speaker 1>want out here. Still.

1212
01:08:22.359 --> 01:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Now, earlier you mentioned the orbs, So you guys

1213
01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:33.079
<v Speaker 2>have had some things happen that aren't bigfoot.

1214
01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Stuff, right, And the crazy part is we've never seen

1215
01:08:37.720 --> 01:08:41.399
<v Speaker 1>anything until all this big foot stuff that I'm not

1216
01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>saying and I'm not trying to put two and two

1217
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>together with that. You know, it's just weird. Yeah. And

1218
01:08:49.159 --> 01:08:53.039
<v Speaker 1>I really didn't start watching for stuff like that until

1219
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:59.319
<v Speaker 1>that came out, what that July twenty thirteen, and that

1220
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:03.039
<v Speaker 1>when they come out with the government thing, and I

1221
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:05.119
<v Speaker 1>started sitting down here looking for them, and then when

1222
01:09:05.159 --> 01:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>we got that, and I never seen anything with my

1223
01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:12.399
<v Speaker 1>naked eye until I got the infrared and then we

1224
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and we've had we had two or three incidents with it,

1225
01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and then I started seeing them with my naked eye

1226
01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and then but the first ones we've seen were about

1227
01:09:22.840 --> 01:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the size of a softball and uh, and they looked

1228
01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>like they had static electricity in it inside the ball.

1229
01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:35.119
<v Speaker 1>And there were what, Karen, literally hundreds of them our

1230
01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>whole It's like they came out of our woods on

1231
01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the on the north side and went into our pasture

1232
01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and kind of moved to our house and went into

1233
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.159
<v Speaker 1>the woods on our on the south of us. But

1234
01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it was it was a ten minute deal. I mean,

1235
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it was foreverwhere and they come all the way up

1236
01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to the house, but they never came any further than that,

1237
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:01.399
<v Speaker 1>and they backed up and went away. And we weren't

1238
01:10:01.479 --> 01:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>very tech savvy on this infrared thing.

1239
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:07.159
<v Speaker 3>And I looking at it one day, I think I

1240
01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:09.279
<v Speaker 3>was trying to charge it or something, and I was like, well,

1241
01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:12.039
<v Speaker 3>what is this hole here? And I figured out that

1242
01:10:12.119 --> 01:10:15.239
<v Speaker 3>it took a like a card so you could take pictures.

1243
01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:18.640
<v Speaker 3>So then I actually went and read the directions and

1244
01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:21.760
<v Speaker 3>we could video with it. And I was like, Okay,

1245
01:10:21.760 --> 01:10:24.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to go get a card and we'll try

1246
01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:27.439
<v Speaker 3>to take pictures with this thing, and we're seeing the

1247
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:29.479
<v Speaker 3>orbs out here. One night he calls me out here

1248
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.119
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, hey, remember you can press that button

1249
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:35.359
<v Speaker 3>and we can record. In a nanosecond after I said that,

1250
01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:36.560
<v Speaker 3>they left.

1251
01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>It shot out. It was on the one that was

1252
01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>on my screen. It was about where that hickory tree was,

1253
01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>where I told you that he went down and he

1254
01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:49.119
<v Speaker 1>stopped and turned and went down. It was. It was

1255
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>right there, and it shot from the left of my

1256
01:10:52.680 --> 01:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>screen bottom left to the top right of my screen,

1257
01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and it left a trail, a trail on my camera

1258
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:03.319
<v Speaker 1>that stayed on that stayed on there for a couple

1259
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.119
<v Speaker 1>of seconds. But everybody was gone by the time we

1260
01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:10.560
<v Speaker 1>hit the button, and then and then everything just disappeared.

1261
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.479
<v Speaker 2>It's so strange, so strange that I don't have any

1262
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>idea what to make of that stuff.

1263
01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't either.

1264
01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we it was just we were we were

1265
01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:26.680
<v Speaker 3>in all, you know, and it's not something that we

1266
01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:30.319
<v Speaker 3>get out daily, weekly, or even every few weeks.

1267
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:33.479
<v Speaker 1>We don't. I don't. I don't get that camera out

1268
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and look, and you know, I'm not. I'm not out

1269
01:11:36.680 --> 01:11:38.439
<v Speaker 1>here to convince myself.

1270
01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, And you don't need it. You don't got to

1271
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>go looking for it. It's right there.

1272
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>No, no, And and you know I've told my best friends, Well,

1273
01:11:49.039 --> 01:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>my best friend had the incident, and I told another

1274
01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:56.079
<v Speaker 1>good friend, and and he's told me stories that he's

1275
01:11:56.119 --> 01:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>had up here on our place where he got paralleled.

1276
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>But everybody I've told, you know, believe it. I haven't

1277
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:05.199
<v Speaker 1>been laughed.

1278
01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:07.359
<v Speaker 2>At a lot of this stuff, like we had talked

1279
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>about as hindsight, you know that you've been paralleled out

1280
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>numerous times before and never thought anything of it. And

1281
01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what most people do, you know, they

1282
01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:19.279
<v Speaker 2>just write it off, Oh, it must be a deer,

1283
01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:23.359
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever. And it's not really until you know

1284
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>these things are out there that you start realizing like,

1285
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>well maybe that was something, right, Yeah, And.

1286
01:12:31.720 --> 01:12:34.159
<v Speaker 1>When they was pushing these cows around north so was

1287
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>we could smell it and and it was what I

1288
01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:43.239
<v Speaker 1>smelled was pure puke and crap. That's what I smelled.

1289
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And then I can come out here, and she said,

1290
01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:51.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty much it smelt like a an old soured out.

1291
01:12:52.600 --> 01:12:55.399
<v Speaker 3>Down disturbed behind the little trash. Can you know That's

1292
01:12:55.439 --> 01:12:58.319
<v Speaker 3>what it reminded me of, Like a stinky dumpster.

1293
01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you were talking about them running those cattle around

1294
01:13:03.840 --> 01:13:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the field across the pasture. Does that happen a lot?

1295
01:13:10.079 --> 01:13:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Have you noticed it more than that?

1296
01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Or well? I think well I sincely started noticing it.

1297
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:22.399
<v Speaker 1>It's probably happened four times that I know of. And uh,

1298
01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:25.039
<v Speaker 1>And there's another ranch on the side of him, on

1299
01:13:25.119 --> 01:13:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the other side of him, and and they got land

1300
01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>that butts around this other creek that goes around them,

1301
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:37.359
<v Speaker 1>and and they they've had that place for a long time.

1302
01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And even the people before them told them not to

1303
01:13:40.920 --> 01:13:43.239
<v Speaker 1>not to let their calves go down in that area

1304
01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>because they'll all disappear. And they lost a lot of

1305
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:48.279
<v Speaker 1>cats and they've lost a lot of caves and cows

1306
01:13:48.319 --> 01:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in that area. So they got they got that whole

1307
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:54.159
<v Speaker 1>back forty back in there that that they don't even use.

1308
01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:56.159
<v Speaker 1>They won't use it.

1309
01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any goals with this? Are you just

1310
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:03.399
<v Speaker 2>would you want to get rid of them if you could,

1311
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:05.760
<v Speaker 2>or do you like having them around?

1312
01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:12.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think i'd want to cause any problem. No, Yeah,

1313
01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I think we're just aware. I don't know how you'd

1314
01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>get rid of them, but yeah, we're just aware, and

1315
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>nothing nothing real damaging or other than stealing my eggs,

1316
01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>other than yeah, just stealing the eggs and you know,

1317
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and then slapping on the house. And that was just

1318
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>really weird that happened.

1319
01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.119
<v Speaker 3>What for maybe those two weeks, yeah, when you were gone,

1320
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:41.119
<v Speaker 3>and maybe a week or so after you got back.

1321
01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:46.119
<v Speaker 3>And then I feel like if something happened in May,

1322
01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:48.960
<v Speaker 3>is that when the shower one happened.

1323
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>The shower wouldn't happened when you was in The shower

1324
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:54.239
<v Speaker 1>happened in May. Yeah, year, Yeah, after I got back

1325
01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:57.479
<v Speaker 1>from the hospital, and then we were sitting out here

1326
01:14:57.520 --> 01:14:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and they was while we were sitting out here, they

1327
01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>were throwing rocks at my shop, my metal shop. Yeah, pebbles,

1328
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>not big rocks, but pebbles. Yeah. And there's no trees,

1329
01:15:08.800 --> 01:15:11.479
<v Speaker 1>no nothing where any acorn or anything like that can

1330
01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>drop or hit that building. Yeah, yeah, there's nothing around it.

1331
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>And we're sitting on the back porch, you know, just

1332
01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:20.039
<v Speaker 1>going uh oh wow, there you.

1333
01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Go without Yeah, you know, just say whatever your comfortable

1334
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:29.439
<v Speaker 2>was saying. But you had mentioned that you've had some

1335
01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:36.079
<v Speaker 2>pretty serious health issues going on, so that usually requires

1336
01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:39.159
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good stay in the hospital. Do you notice

1337
01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:43.800
<v Speaker 2>things happening whenever you get back from a trip to

1338
01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the hospital or like these extended periods of time, whenever

1339
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you leave the house and then you come back, things

1340
01:15:50.840 --> 01:15:53.439
<v Speaker 2>seem to happen more than right when you get back.

1341
01:15:55.880 --> 01:16:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I haven't noticed anything like that. I know a couple

1342
01:16:04.359 --> 01:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of my you know what, when I heard the howl,

1343
01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:11.279
<v Speaker 1>the scream and the war, you know, I was sick.

1344
01:16:11.479 --> 01:16:14.119
<v Speaker 1>I was just lost. I had a kidney transplant and

1345
01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I just lost my dad's kidney, and so I was

1346
01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>going to have to go back on diasas. So I

1347
01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in the best of moods when I heard that

1348
01:16:22.119 --> 01:16:25.079
<v Speaker 1>first scream and how you know, I mean it was

1349
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:25.479
<v Speaker 1>a roar.

1350
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:27.239
<v Speaker 4>And then.

1351
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Later on I got a kidney from my son, and

1352
01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:38.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, and everything's going great, and then my dad

1353
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:42.159
<v Speaker 1>starts to die. You know, he's dying, and I'm out here,

1354
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:47.279
<v Speaker 1>and then I hear another ar in four knocks, you know,

1355
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:52.079
<v Speaker 1>and then a year from that, well, no, back when

1356
01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>he was dying is when we heard the knox and

1357
01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the tree slams. Yes, And it was at day that

1358
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:01.399
<v Speaker 1>he died or something like that. You know, we're just

1359
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>out here thinking about it. And then when it's kind

1360
01:17:05.640 --> 01:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of weird this year. September eleventh or nineteenth. September nineteenth,

1361
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:15.279
<v Speaker 1>I was out here and I heard a big roar

1362
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:19.960
<v Speaker 1>again the screen and then and then about I don't know,

1363
01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:24.399
<v Speaker 1>a mile from there south I heard four what knots,

1364
01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And that was at eleven thirty. I got to pick

1365
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>my phone up and looked, and that was just this

1366
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:31.239
<v Speaker 1>past September.

1367
01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:36.479
<v Speaker 2>The reason I ask is it seems like in a

1368
01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:40.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of the situations like you guys have, where they're

1369
01:17:41.159 --> 01:17:43.560
<v Speaker 2>in the area of someone's property and they're visiting the

1370
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>property on a regular basis, it seems like oftentimes they

1371
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:55.079
<v Speaker 2>like routine and if you break that routine, it upsets

1372
01:17:55.159 --> 01:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>them or they react to it. And another thing that

1373
01:17:58.479 --> 01:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>seems to go along with this, and it kind of

1374
01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>plays into what you're talking about right now, which again

1375
01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:10.520
<v Speaker 2>no explanation for, but they seem to pick up on emotion,

1376
01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>like whenever we're upset or something. You got a lot

1377
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>of situations I've heard where like, you know, couples will

1378
01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:20.880
<v Speaker 2>be arguing and then something will slap the house, or

1379
01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:24.159
<v Speaker 2>somebody is outside yelling at somebody on the phone and

1380
01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:26.760
<v Speaker 2>they'll see one standing over there watching them, or you know,

1381
01:18:26.920 --> 01:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>someone's crying and they hear of vocalization it. I guess

1382
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:36.439
<v Speaker 2>they're just people watchers, but it just seems kind of

1383
01:18:37.159 --> 01:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of spooky, how keyed in on us they are

1384
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:41.159
<v Speaker 2>at times.

1385
01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I know it, and you know, and I know

1386
01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>I've been so close to it several times that if

1387
01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it had scared me as bad as my heart was, Hell,

1388
01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it killed me, you know, just thinking about it.

1389
01:18:59.079 --> 01:19:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I was in there turkey hunting and something started stuff

1390
01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>in the back of my neck that would have done

1391
01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>it for me.

1392
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know how my buddy survived that. Yeah,

1393
01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:12.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you know, I hadn't had Like I said,

1394
01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:14.479
<v Speaker 1>it's been close, and I know it has, but it

1395
01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:17.359
<v Speaker 1>hadn't done anything that scare me. It hadn't never grouted

1396
01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>at me close, just woodenknocks and trees and throwing stuff

1397
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>at me. And then going to our cinerator, which is

1398
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>about thirty feet from the house. And when Brian came out,

1399
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:33.479
<v Speaker 1>they was only here. That was a second snow and

1400
01:19:35.359 --> 01:19:39.439
<v Speaker 1>later in January and him and his guys came out

1401
01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and they wasn't here ten minutes and found three different tracks,

1402
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>three different sizes in quite a few tracks and from

1403
01:19:50.880 --> 01:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>ten inch fifteen to seventeen.

1404
01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>How big was that one in the picture you sent me?

1405
01:19:57.279 --> 01:20:02.199
<v Speaker 1>It was fifteen and the lynks from because like I

1406
01:20:02.279 --> 01:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>said that I couldn't see the front of the foot

1407
01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:07.640
<v Speaker 1>before it, but I could see the hill of the

1408
01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:10.479
<v Speaker 1>foot and the hill of the foot after that track.

1409
01:20:11.039 --> 01:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>And we measured it and it was five and a half.

1410
01:20:14.079 --> 01:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But strike, strike, the little one was that long almost,

1411
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>but we think that one was. But we think that

1412
01:20:22.640 --> 01:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>one might have been running because it left them across

1413
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>the driveway and you know, and the snow blows and

1414
01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>it felt them in a little bit, but you still

1415
01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:34.159
<v Speaker 1>see where it stepped. But if you went in the woods,

1416
01:20:34.439 --> 01:20:37.039
<v Speaker 1>you could see its tracks, but they wasn't good enough

1417
01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to pour or do anything with in those lengths once

1418
01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>it got inside the woods again. But where how it

1419
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>got to that point to my chicken barn, I didn't

1420
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>see nothing. It had to have come from the trees

1421
01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:56.319
<v Speaker 1>or or just because they just started almost at my electric.

1422
01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Pole, and that was in the snow.

1423
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was snow, and that was a smaller track,

1424
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and the fifteen inch one was I got a cattle

1425
01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:09.479
<v Speaker 1>guard that's for four wheelers that you hook in your

1426
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:13.039
<v Speaker 1>fence line and you can just go through it. Well

1427
01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you can see where it's and it's it's a it's

1428
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:18.479
<v Speaker 1>about six foot across it. And you could see the

1429
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>footprint on this side of the cattle guard and the

1430
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and where it hit really.

1431
01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Heavy on the other side, probably jumping over it.

1432
01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Jumping over it. Those are the ones that Brian found

1433
01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and then I had the men. He found the seventeen

1434
01:21:33.199 --> 01:21:37.880
<v Speaker 1>inch track uh over on the road by where my

1435
01:21:37.960 --> 01:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>woodpile is and it goes up past my hog in

1436
01:21:41.439 --> 01:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was and it went through there, and there

1437
01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>was probably five or six tracks with that one too.

1438
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:49.279
<v Speaker 1>You can see them in the grass and barely in

1439
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:53.439
<v Speaker 1>the snow. He did he did some three D pictures

1440
01:21:53.520 --> 01:21:56.199
<v Speaker 1>of it. They wasn't as good as the one I

1441
01:21:56.319 --> 01:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>took because most of the snow was going away, but

1442
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:02.079
<v Speaker 1>you can dangerous see the impression in the grass.

1443
01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys you mentioned the owls, the owls that

1444
01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:08.239
<v Speaker 2>weren't owls, something that we.

1445
01:22:08.359 --> 01:22:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Hear a lot. Oh yeah, that's when I heard the

1446
01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:17.479
<v Speaker 1>screams kind of northwest of us, and it was just

1447
01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a I mean it was absolutely so loud, a woman

1448
01:22:22.760 --> 01:22:29.239
<v Speaker 1>screaming into a roar. I mean there was no doubt,

1449
01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and there was two of them. And when that second

1450
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:37.359
<v Speaker 1>one quit, the owls in the I mean, for lack

1451
01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:40.319
<v Speaker 1>of a better word, that monkeys. It sounded like owls

1452
01:22:40.359 --> 01:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and monkeys, you know, doing you know that? Yeah, And

1453
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:49.279
<v Speaker 1>that's when I got caring to come out. And it

1454
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:51.960
<v Speaker 1>was just plenty sound like to you it's just a

1455
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:54.479
<v Speaker 1>bunch of them. And it was just a bunch. There

1456
01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>was too many to be owls in that one spot.

1457
01:22:57.680 --> 01:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>There were too much noise up there.

1458
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard any you know, laughter, I know you

1459
01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:07.760
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the giggling children. Have you heard like a hyena

1460
01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:11.520
<v Speaker 2>type laugh or any other animals that you think were

1461
01:23:11.560 --> 01:23:12.279
<v Speaker 2>being mimicked?

1462
01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:19.680
<v Speaker 1>No, no, mamely just the owls. Mainly, just the owls.

1463
01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I heard a a loom in the middle of the

1464
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:29.279
<v Speaker 1>winter down here in the woods. Sounded just like a

1465
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>loom huh on a Minnesota lake, you know what I mean? Yeah?

1466
01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was setting out here and it was it

1467
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:41.359
<v Speaker 1>was dark. I don't know the flight patterns illums, but.

1468
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Probably not going to be in the woods in the

1469
01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:45.359
<v Speaker 2>middle of the winter.

1470
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in Oklahoma.

1471
01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, any metallic sounds.

1472
01:23:52.760 --> 01:23:55.520
<v Speaker 1>The only offbeat sound that we've heard is the beeping.

1473
01:23:56.159 --> 01:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all I've heard, the chirp. I haven't heard anything else.

1474
01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>And I've heard them, you know. When I heard the

1475
01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:07.079
<v Speaker 1>voices behind the pond when I was cooking, I mean

1476
01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I heard laughter and just it sounded like talking chaos,

1477
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, like just a group of guys down there. Yeah,

1478
01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:21.039
<v Speaker 1>sounded like a group of guys down there, at least

1479
01:24:21.439 --> 01:24:25.239
<v Speaker 1>three or four just cutting up and there was nobody there.

1480
01:24:26.159 --> 01:24:29.479
<v Speaker 1>And then I heard kids. Yeah, you know, I've had

1481
01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>other stuff happen where I've gotten down fishing by the

1482
01:24:33.039 --> 01:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>island and I'm set up on those sides of the

1483
01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:39.199
<v Speaker 1>bank and there's an island across from me, and that

1484
01:24:39.359 --> 01:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>island is about a mile long, me and my buddy,

1485
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and we're getting growled at and stuff broke at and

1486
01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:50.279
<v Speaker 1>this is about I'm thinking one hundred and fifty yards

1487
01:24:50.319 --> 01:24:56.479
<v Speaker 1>away from us, maybe two hundred and just something raising. Hell.

1488
01:24:56.520 --> 01:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>We're looking at each other like what is going on

1489
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:01.159
<v Speaker 1>over there? I mean, this is island. It's just black

1490
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>as cold, you know, there's no lights, and it's in

1491
01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:09.079
<v Speaker 1>the winter. And it just kept going. It was making

1492
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:13.319
<v Speaker 1>us nervous. Then it turned around and started walking away

1493
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>from us. The lengths of the island. But we heard

1494
01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:18.600
<v Speaker 1>that thing grumble and break stuff all the way to

1495
01:25:18.680 --> 01:25:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the other end of the island, you know. And this

1496
01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:25.239
<v Speaker 1>is twenty years ago. We had no clue, no clue

1497
01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>what We thought. It was a bear, you know, but

1498
01:25:27.720 --> 01:25:31.199
<v Speaker 1>how's this bear doing all this? You know? And we

1499
01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>had no clue about it.

1500
01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Just a complete random question. Do you guys find arrowheads

1501
01:25:38.159 --> 01:25:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and stuff around there?

1502
01:25:40.399 --> 01:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know so much.

1503
01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:44.319
<v Speaker 3>About arrowheads, but you know, like I said, we got

1504
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:46.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of grandkids, so I justify a lot of

1505
01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:48.680
<v Speaker 3>stuff because they just moved things around.

1506
01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Sure, sure, yeah.

1507
01:25:50.680 --> 01:25:53.199
<v Speaker 3>We've had bog ball rocks show up on the steps

1508
01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:55.479
<v Speaker 3>on the front porch and oh right.

1509
01:25:55.439 --> 01:25:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that.

1510
01:25:57.039 --> 01:26:00.439
<v Speaker 3>I kind of think in hindsight, you know, yeah, probably was,

1511
01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:02.760
<v Speaker 3>But at the time I'm like, stupid dog, you know.

1512
01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Dropped the rock up there on the fort right, all right?

1513
01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:14.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, my dogs, they I have to always check

1514
01:26:14.279 --> 01:26:17.079
<v Speaker 3>between my car and the house because they leave presents

1515
01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:20.680
<v Speaker 3>all the time. I blame it on the dogs, now

1516
01:26:21.039 --> 01:26:21.560
<v Speaker 3>is it the dog?

1517
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.079
<v Speaker 1>For now? We had a couple of labs when we

1518
01:26:25.159 --> 01:26:28.199
<v Speaker 1>first moved out here, and they got to about six

1519
01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>months old and disappeared pretty quick. Yep, just disappeared one

1520
01:26:32.079 --> 01:26:33.199
<v Speaker 1>day they were gone. Huh.

1521
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:34.439
<v Speaker 3>She never saw him again.

1522
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:38.239
<v Speaker 1>And then we had a pair of beagles and uh

1523
01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh the male is a male and female and

1524
01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:45.399
<v Speaker 1>their brothers and sisters and uh, and they came home

1525
01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and she's just crying. And I go out there and

1526
01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>he's just he's tore up. He's got he's been beat up,

1527
01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:58.399
<v Speaker 1>and he's got the gravel from the driveway bedded in

1528
01:26:58.479 --> 01:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it in between his teeth. Oh man, Yeah, he had

1529
01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:06.039
<v Speaker 1>two puntry when he was on his neck and uh,

1530
01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:09.119
<v Speaker 1>and he well took him to the vet. He healed up,

1531
01:27:09.399 --> 01:27:13.479
<v Speaker 1>but he died of shock. Yeah, he died. The bet

1532
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>said he died of fright something scared of his death. Yep.

1533
01:27:18.640 --> 01:27:19.600
<v Speaker 2>That sounds horrible.

1534
01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And then I'm female, you know how that is?

1535
01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>She died not much longer. Yeah.

1536
01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Like I was saying, we blame the things that we know,

1537
01:27:30.359 --> 01:27:32.159
<v Speaker 2>and we just write it off as like, oh, it

1538
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:36.159
<v Speaker 2>must have just been the grandkids or whatever. But right,

1539
01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's kind of the deal though, right, because

1540
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:39.720
<v Speaker 2>it could be the grandkids.

1541
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I find random tools everywhere, like what

1542
01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>are they work? What were they doing with that? They had?

1543
01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>No business with that.

1544
01:27:49.720 --> 01:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>It can be kind of nerve wracking if you worry

1545
01:27:52.840 --> 01:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>about this stuff too much, because then you know, you

1546
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know what's what You don't know, well, is that

1547
01:27:58.880 --> 01:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>something that they did or or something normal?

1548
01:28:02.279 --> 01:28:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, And there's nothing there's no pattern for the last

1549
01:28:07.159 --> 01:28:11.239
<v Speaker 1>since the beginning of twenty three, we haven't seen any

1550
01:28:11.399 --> 01:28:15.680
<v Speaker 1>pattern of of well it's mainly in the winter, but

1551
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it's happened. We hear stuff all year long.

1552
01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:23.119
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, but definitely a spike whenever the kids are around.

1553
01:28:23.960 --> 01:28:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh for sure, definitely in the holiday season.

1554
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:30.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, when it's nice enough for them to play outside,

1555
01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:32.319
<v Speaker 3>because you know, when it's too hot, I'm not going

1556
01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:34.079
<v Speaker 3>to sit outside and watch them play.

1557
01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just too hot. But like night now when it's

1558
01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>pulled off. They've been playing out here this whole last

1559
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:46.239
<v Speaker 1>four days. We was both out here. I barely caught

1560
01:28:46.279 --> 01:28:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it because I was talking and she wasn't, and but

1561
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:54.359
<v Speaker 1>we heard of it was kind of like that same

1562
01:28:55.800 --> 01:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a long hal without an ending, right, it's just

1563
01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a long hol out an ending. It's just it's just

1564
01:29:01.680 --> 01:29:06.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of abrupt, yeah that this stops. And then and

1565
01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:08.279
<v Speaker 1>then one night I sat out here and just on

1566
01:29:08.359 --> 01:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the other side of my canyon. When I first heard it,

1567
01:29:13.720 --> 01:29:17.399
<v Speaker 1>my first instincts was that it was a dove. And

1568
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>then it turned from a dove to now to almost

1569
01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a crow or something. And it did it, and it

1570
01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:27.159
<v Speaker 1>did it five times in a row. And this, I mean,

1571
01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:33.239
<v Speaker 1>this is loud. This is really loud, and maybe and

1572
01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hear nothing else. And from about twenty minutes later,

1573
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like the exact same thing it did. This

1574
01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:44.039
<v Speaker 1>thing did it about five times right here, and then

1575
01:29:44.159 --> 01:29:48.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes later, two miles west, I heard the same

1576
01:29:48.439 --> 01:29:52.239
<v Speaker 1>thing and it was three times. But just like you said,

1577
01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't hardly hear a whole lot of screaming out here.

1578
01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they do a lot of that out here.

1579
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:00.319
<v Speaker 1>It's it's once in a great while. And I and

1580
01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:03.039
<v Speaker 1>I've got hours and hours and hours logged out here

1581
01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>on this back porch, you know, just from being sick

1582
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:09.720
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I mean, I live out on this back porch.

1583
01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:13.399
<v Speaker 2>They're not very vocal in Oklahoma, it seems.

1584
01:30:14.760 --> 01:30:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it doesn't happen very often, and I so wish

1585
01:30:18.279 --> 01:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>it would happen with my son out here, you know,

1586
01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:24.399
<v Speaker 1>because there's something to hear. It really is something to hear,

1587
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and it really is jurassic. I mean, it's there's no

1588
01:30:27.960 --> 01:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>other word for it. It's it's just not right. It's

1589
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's crazy. You know.

1590
01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:37.239
<v Speaker 2>All the stuff that you guys are talking about is stuff.

1591
01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is just how they act around people's

1592
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:45.000
<v Speaker 2>property in Oklahoma and Texas. I can confirm Texas as

1593
01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:46.319
<v Speaker 2>the same type of behavior.

1594
01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So we've not told you anything new. You've not heard

1595
01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>anything new.

1596
01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:54.119
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not saying that it's all new. You know,

1597
01:30:54.279 --> 01:30:56.520
<v Speaker 2>every time I hear something, I still get excited about it.

1598
01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:03.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's exciting, but it's good to I mean,

1599
01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:05.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of glad that what we're telling you is

1600
01:31:05.880 --> 01:31:08.760
<v Speaker 3>nothing extremely new. It's stuff that you've always heard, so

1601
01:31:08.880 --> 01:31:11.680
<v Speaker 3>it kind of helps validate it a little bit, right.

1602
01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I Mean, we're lucky we can talk to her and

1603
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I can talk to each other about it, and my

1604
01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:22.439
<v Speaker 1>son and uh so, you know, it's not like there's

1605
01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:26.359
<v Speaker 1>something we got bottled up, nothing like that, because we've

1606
01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:29.600
<v Speaker 1>all had experiences out here. And I got two other

1607
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:35.439
<v Speaker 1>times that I thought I seen it, and uh I

1608
01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:39.479
<v Speaker 1>was looking. I'm on one hill and the way across

1609
01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:43.159
<v Speaker 1>the canyon this other hill, and it's quite a ways

1610
01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:48.399
<v Speaker 1>over there. But before the tornado, there was a trail

1611
01:31:48.479 --> 01:31:51.359
<v Speaker 1>I could see over there. It looked like a you know,

1612
01:31:51.439 --> 01:31:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I watched deer go up it before, and I've seen

1613
01:31:53.880 --> 01:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>hogs go up it. And they they go up it

1614
01:31:57.000 --> 01:32:00.880
<v Speaker 1>from the creek and then they they go left and

1615
01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>then and they go left, you know, for about twenty

1616
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:07.199
<v Speaker 1>feet or thirty feet, and then and then they switched

1617
01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:10.199
<v Speaker 1>back going to right, going up higher on this on

1618
01:32:10.359 --> 01:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the ledge. And I'm and I'm looking over there and

1619
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing if there's any deer, and I'm out here doing

1620
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:22.920
<v Speaker 1>my thing, and I see something black over there. Well,

1621
01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking it's a cow, you know, or a huge, huge,

1622
01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you know hog, And I'm watching it, and I'm watching it. Well,

1623
01:32:32.880 --> 01:32:35.319
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't take the same trail that the deer and

1624
01:32:35.399 --> 01:32:39.159
<v Speaker 1>everything else took it. It didn't go up that switch back.

1625
01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>It come from the creek and just went up and

1626
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:47.239
<v Speaker 1>then turned and went up that side. So it took

1627
01:32:47.279 --> 01:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a shortcut. Whatever it was, took the shortcut, you know,

1628
01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:54.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a ledge right there. It had to climb,

1629
01:32:56.079 --> 01:33:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It had to climb, and that ledge that these deer

1630
01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and hogs would and willing to climb, you know, because

1631
01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I watched them out there all the time. And I

1632
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:11.119
<v Speaker 1>even seen another weird thing and it was at a

1633
01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>glimpse and I looked at We had a really hard

1634
01:33:14.720 --> 01:33:17.279
<v Speaker 1>spring rain. It was kind of a cold rain, and

1635
01:33:17.399 --> 01:33:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it was early in the morning, and then it didn't

1636
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:22.479
<v Speaker 1>last long and so the sun popped out. Well, you

1637
01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:26.399
<v Speaker 1>know how in the spring, those Bradford pairs usually turned

1638
01:33:26.479 --> 01:33:31.359
<v Speaker 1>green quicker than everything. And there's trees way out there

1639
01:33:31.439 --> 01:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the canyon and on what

1640
01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I feared, it's a mile and a half and h

1641
01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and you could see these sporadic green trees out through

1642
01:33:44.159 --> 01:33:47.319
<v Speaker 1>there that bloom first. And I look back and I

1643
01:33:47.439 --> 01:33:49.239
<v Speaker 1>seen one had a big old black thing in the

1644
01:33:49.319 --> 01:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>top of it. Well, my first thought was they were vultures,

1645
01:33:55.720 --> 01:33:58.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the rings spread it out across the

1646
01:33:58.359 --> 01:34:02.000
<v Speaker 1>top of the tree, you know, drying, yeah, you know.

1647
01:34:03.039 --> 01:34:05.279
<v Speaker 1>And then and then I go and do my thing,

1648
01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and I come back out and well, still there, and

1649
01:34:07.880 --> 01:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I watched his vultures flying around in that area, and

1650
01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I said, mass, that's either got to be eight or

1651
01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:19.359
<v Speaker 1>ten vultures or that's something big, you know, And and

1652
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:21.319
<v Speaker 1>it was like it was in the top of the

1653
01:34:21.359 --> 01:34:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tree drying out. And then when I came back, I

1654
01:34:24.640 --> 01:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>went in the house, came back and it was gone.

1655
01:34:27.319 --> 01:34:29.680
<v Speaker 2>But you did see vultures in the air.

1656
01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did see vultures in the air, and one

1657
01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:35.880
<v Speaker 1>went right by it, and it was way a little

1658
01:34:36.039 --> 01:34:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and it took it had took three of them vultures

1659
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:42.479
<v Speaker 1>to make that wings, that that span that it was

1660
01:34:42.560 --> 01:34:43.720
<v Speaker 1>doing in the top of the tree.

1661
01:34:44.479 --> 01:34:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is a second hand story. This was not

1662
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>told directly to me by the person. But a good

1663
01:34:51.920 --> 01:34:57.279
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine said that this old man God's talking

1664
01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.880
<v Speaker 2>to him one day and found out that he was

1665
01:35:00.960 --> 01:35:04.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Bigfoot or whatever, and he told him that

1666
01:35:05.079 --> 01:35:09.520
<v Speaker 2>old man told him, look for the vultures, follow them

1667
01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:11.039
<v Speaker 2>buzzards and they'll lead you to them.

1668
01:35:11.760 --> 01:35:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the buzzards were flying all around that area, but

1669
01:35:14.399 --> 01:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>they wasn't landing in that tree. And you know that.

1670
01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's so far away. I couldn't tell you

1671
01:35:21.079 --> 01:35:24.119
<v Speaker 1>yay or nay on that. It's just it was just

1672
01:35:24.760 --> 01:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it was just weird. And I told her right off

1673
01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the bat. Every time every time I hear see anything

1674
01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:33.800
<v Speaker 1>or see this, we tell each other right off.

1675
01:35:34.119 --> 01:35:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Even whenever you're out there looking for it. It's still

1676
01:35:37.439 --> 01:35:41.079
<v Speaker 2>just mind blowing. Whenever you're actually seeing it happen.

1677
01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:44.239
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of weird, you know, to me, you know,

1678
01:35:44.520 --> 01:35:47.159
<v Speaker 4>all the crap that I've been going through, and I

1679
01:35:47.319 --> 01:35:49.119
<v Speaker 4>was at a spot where, you know, I just didn't

1680
01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:53.359
<v Speaker 4>really care, you know, if I took another step or not,

1681
01:35:54.640 --> 01:35:55.159
<v Speaker 4>and and.

1682
01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:57.800
<v Speaker 1>And and it really put a spark back in me.

1683
01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,

1684
01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it just I was I would have never

1685
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:11.159
<v Speaker 1>guessed in a million years that something like that would

1686
01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:15.279
<v Speaker 1>have been here. Yeah, you know, And and it's not

1687
01:36:15.479 --> 01:36:17.760
<v Speaker 1>really scaring me. I think it put us. I think

1688
01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it put a spark in me to learn more.

1689
01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, just you know, documenting the stuff is the

1690
01:36:26.479 --> 01:36:29.359
<v Speaker 2>best thing to do, just writing it down whenever something happens,

1691
01:36:29.439 --> 01:36:32.079
<v Speaker 2>making a note of it, keeping track of it.

1692
01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, trying to do that. We've been trying to

1693
01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:38.359
<v Speaker 1>do that. We don't put every knock we hear or

1694
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:42.439
<v Speaker 1>none of that on there, because I mean sometimes it's

1695
01:36:43.159 --> 01:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>it's quite a bit.

1696
01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, at this point you just need to be

1697
01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:48.760
<v Speaker 2>taking note of like major events.

1698
01:36:48.840 --> 01:36:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I would say, that's what we're doing now. We're just

1699
01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna stick to the major things because it's ridiculous how

1700
01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:02.239
<v Speaker 1>much knock and treats we hear and breaking, you know,

1701
01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:06.279
<v Speaker 1>especially especially through right now through April.

1702
01:37:06.600 --> 01:37:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we figure it's going to really take up here, right.

1703
01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I was really surprised in September when I heard the

1704
01:37:16.319 --> 01:37:22.119
<v Speaker 1>scream and those four knocks, because we're always out here

1705
01:37:22.199 --> 01:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>in September, We're planting these fields, we're getting everything winter

1706
01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>we eat and all that we had all the time,

1707
01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:33.479
<v Speaker 1>and I've never had anything happen in September. But like

1708
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, I was out here, I was pretty depressed.

1709
01:37:35.560 --> 01:37:40.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, my dad, we got the same name, you know, everything,

1710
01:37:40.479 --> 01:37:43.319
<v Speaker 1>we got the same birthday, everything, and I just lost

1711
01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:47.039
<v Speaker 1>them a year ago. And we fished. We fished every

1712
01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>lake and tournament in this state, you know. And I

1713
01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>was just looking at the river thinking about how many

1714
01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:57.239
<v Speaker 1>times that me and him had fish down there, and

1715
01:37:57.600 --> 01:38:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and then then I hear this great, big roar to

1716
01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the north north northwest. But it wasn't a long one.

1717
01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:08.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a quick one. It was like five seconds.

1718
01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:12.960
<v Speaker 1>But it started out sounding like a like a big bull,

1719
01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and into the roar and then it just quit. And

1720
01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:22.239
<v Speaker 1>like I say, and it felt like it was five

1721
01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:27.359
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes. And then then south of us about a mile,

1722
01:38:27.960 --> 01:38:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you could hear the four knocks.

1723
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.960
<v Speaker 3>And four knock seems to be real common. Yeah, I

1724
01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:35.760
<v Speaker 3>don't know why we don't ever hear just one. Do

1725
01:38:35.800 --> 01:38:38.399
<v Speaker 3>you ever hear just two? It seems like four is

1726
01:38:38.479 --> 01:38:39.279
<v Speaker 3>our most common.

1727
01:38:39.479 --> 01:38:42.880
<v Speaker 1>But the only time I heard one just one is

1728
01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:46.199
<v Speaker 1>when it was behind me and my son and my grandson,

1729
01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and it was but it was it was dang close.

1730
01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:53.039
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't no mile away. It was right behind us.

1731
01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:57.520
<v Speaker 2>And that was whenever you're down at the creek, Yeah,

1732
01:38:57.720 --> 01:38:58.159
<v Speaker 2>and you and.

1733
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:01.039
<v Speaker 1>You can feel it, you could field, you could tell

1734
01:39:02.039 --> 01:39:06.159
<v Speaker 1>there was something there is. We wasn't scared, but we

1735
01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:07.319
<v Speaker 1>knew we needed to leave.

1736
01:39:09.199 --> 01:39:11.039
