1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Now one of your pudding. I got a string going

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on here, something just cause my dog. Something killed your dog,

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>my dog. We're flying through the air over the tree.

4
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the fence and he was dead. And once you hit

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I

8
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>saw was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>are you putting? We got some wonder or something crawling

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>around out here? Did you see what it was or

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>was it was? Standing enough? I'm out here looking through

12
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the window now and I don't see anything. I don't

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>want to go outside. Jesus Quice, you better New York. Hello,

14
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>get somebody out here.

15
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>What went on out there?

16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought of a bit just about six forty nine.

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Easy him out there. Yeah, I'm woking right. Ay.

18
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Green's Fred and Alaska. Thanks for joining me today.

19
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Getting around to an update of Vincent Wassley's experience. When

20
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I initially had shared his experience at anoon a pitchuck

21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>up up the river, I hadn't spoken to his sister personally,

22
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>And since I've had a chance to speak to her.

23
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 3>He dug out.

24
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Some photos from a couple of years. After a year

25
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>or two after with the tracks and the tundra and whatnot.

26
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I also heard from some different villagers about some very

27
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>picking incidences.

28
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 3>We'll get into it.

29
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>So back in twenty eleven, in the fall, Vincent, his

30
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>sister Grace, and another relative they went out moose hunting.

31
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 3>They were a good distance away from the village.

32
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>So what ended up happening is Vincent didn't eat that day,

33
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>and so where they ended up up shoring up on

34
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>the river bank. He decided to go up on the tundra,

35
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>find a berry patch and eat some berries. You get

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>something on the stomach. So he was about one hundred

37
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>and fifty two hundred feet away from the river bank

38
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 2>where his sister and cousin were. As he starts to

39
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>pick berries, he hears this long drawn out He says,

40
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like a moose call, but like a cow moose.

41
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Call, just drawn out.

42
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>He realized after sitting there after hearing it that no

43
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 2>moose don't make that kind of long drawn out noise.

44
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Bears sure don't. A man.

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>A person just isn't capable of that long and that loud,

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>because he said it echoed around the lake, which if

47
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>you look on the map, it's a fairly large lake.

48
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>So as he was sitting there eating his berries, he

49
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 2>came to the conclusion of it's probably a hairy man,

50
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>and he got freaked out.

51
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>So while that was going on, his.

52
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Sister Grace and their relative were up on this little

53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>rise off in the day. Since they saw what she

54
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>said looked like a something tall and skinny and brown,

55
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>she was expecting it to be a moose.

56
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 3>This thing was going.

57
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Up the rise a little ways, like at a forty

58
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>five degree angle, and then coming back down by this tree.

59
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>She kept expecting it to turn broadside and see the moose,

60
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't. After watching it a little bit, she

61
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>realized it was a hairy man going back and forth.

62
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And she said it looked like almost like they were

63
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>it was looking for something, because it would come down

64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>by this little tree and just stand by the tree

65
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>like it was looking at the tree for something, and

66
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>then it would go right back over to where it

67
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>was just real odd behavior, she stated. Her cousin didn't

68
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>say much different as far as that was concerned. But

69
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>once Vincent gets back to the skipper from where he was.

70
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>They just kept it on the hush because Vincent was

71
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 2>a little freaked out by it, which I mean totally

72
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>understandable for something to make that loud of a noise

73
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>at that distance for it to echo around.

74
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 3>Look, these are native villagers. They know their area. Just

75
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>look at the map and they go around there all

76
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>the time without a map.

77
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 2>They know their area, they know what's in it, they

78
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>know where to go for berries, for fishing, the whole bit.

79
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>So when Vincent gets back to the skiff and asked, hey,

80
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>did you guys hear that, they left it alone and

81
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>said no. When Vincent about a week or so later,

82
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>heard a similar sound on a Bigfoot show, he was like,

83
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>that was it.

84
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 3>That was it.

85
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>And then that's when his sister and cousin came forward

86
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and said, we heard it too, but you were freaked

87
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>out and we didn't want to keep you going kind

88
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>of deal, which is totally understandable something to understand about

89
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot of natives.

90
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 3>They don't typically share these things.

91
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 2>So I'm very thankful to Vincent for coming forward and

92
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>be willing to share, definitely, because there's a lot of

93
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>natives that want to remain anonymous, which I totally understand

94
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 2>they have to live there, and regardless if everyone knows

95
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it's there, there's still, for some reason, there's still this

96
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like a shame type of deal. Even though

97
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>it's not anyone's fault, any of these experiences that I've

98
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>shared with you guys, it's no one's fault that they

99
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>were put in that position. Separate from Vincent, in twenty

100
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, there was a group of women and children

101
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>near the same area.

102
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh, forgive me, let me back up a little bit.

103
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>A year or two after that experience Vincent had with

104
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>his sister and cousin, they were further up. They were

105
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>up the I believe he said it was a Johnson

106
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>River near the Kowskag Mountains, and that's where the track

107
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>came from. They thought it was a bear track initially.

108
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 2>They followed it through the brush to the opening, saw

109
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 2>what kind of track it was, and tracking was over.

110
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>They got those picks and what have you, which if

111
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>you look at those tracks, the amount of weight to

112
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>break through to the soil that's immense.

113
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 3>You're talking thousand pounds plus.

114
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>I doubt if all three of them that were there

115
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>at the time jumped on each other's back they could

116
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 2>have impressed the ground that deeply, very compelling stuff. And

117
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>again thanks to Vincent for sharing those picks with us.

118
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure there's a lot of other villagers with

119
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of stuff out there.

120
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 3>It just doesn't get shared around.

121
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 2>We might see a blip on Facebook here and there,

122
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>but typically because immediately people will start saying they're fake

123
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Most natives they just all right, they just don't.

124
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>They just don't post just because of the ridicule. And

125
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't blame them, and why I put yourself out

126
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 2>there just to be shot down, made fun of, or

127
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>called the liar things of that nature.

128
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>It's just junk.

129
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>So separate from Vincent, these other villagers in twenty twenty one,

130
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>they were approximately three point six miles outside of the village.

131
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>There was a group of women and children and the

132
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 2>males that were in the party were off bury picking.

133
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>The women and children were in this one area near

134
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the skiffs, just.

135
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Doing their thing, hanging out whatever.

136
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Way off in the distance, they see this dark thing

137
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>moving backwards and forwards. One of the first things asked

138
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to an elder is do we look that tall at

139
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 2>that distance? It was a younger person in the group.

140
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>They all said no, So they all start watching this

141
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>thing and it's just going back and forth. I asked

142
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>if there was any creepy feelings, and it was more

143
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>of a curiosity thing because I think the distance alleviated

144
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the immediate fear.

145
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, this went on for a while.

146
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>They wanted to holler and get the attention of the

147
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>guys that were in the group just down a ways

148
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>berry picking, but they didn't want to draw attention to

149
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the people berry picking and potentially give the hairy man

150
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 2>a reason that basically didn't want to draw attention to

151
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the berry pickers, so they just they stayed quiet. After

152
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a while, once the people made their way back to

153
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>the skiff, they pointed out they all looked, Well, this

154
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>thing came and dropped down in the tundra. Whether it

155
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 2>was hiding or disappeared somehow, they couldn't tell because of

156
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the distance. But it was definitely not a villager. It

157
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 2>was too big. I'm just mentally envisioning this thne moving

158
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>back and forth and then dropping down in the tundra.

159
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>There's little drops and it's very uneven on the tundra.

160
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>You'll have little mounds, you'll have smaller.

161
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Rises with maybe some black spruce, all this kind of thing.

162
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 3>So it's a very terrain. Even though it may look

163
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 3>flat on a map, that's not the case.

164
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Once you get down to the ground, you know you

165
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 2>got the spongy moss, the tundra, the berry bushes. It's

166
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a bumpy terrain. This thing had just dropped down and

167
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>basically was either hiding or something else. All they know

168
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 2>is that it disappeared. My first thought when I heard

169
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>that was the spider crawl deal.

170
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Some creepy shit. Regardless. Another thing, a lot.

171
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Of my fellow natives that share their experience, their integrity

172
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 2>is such that if I missed up on something, I'm

173
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna hear from Vincent on this because they're very meticulous,

174
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>because out in the village you need to know exactly

175
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 2>what batch of tundra, what this, and that.

176
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Is, oh, something I had left out.

177
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>There was another very picker during that same thing where

178
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the one disappeared that once they talked to this person later,

179
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>which was right in the immediate area, just not right

180
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>with the women and children and such. He had his

181
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>own skiff and was doing his own thing, but near

182
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 2>there he reported feeling watched and got creeped out and

183
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>left out of there soon, so.

184
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't forget that part.

185
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Vincent almost did my point, being very meticulous with the

186
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 2>integrity of what they're sharing, very meticulous. Again, if I

187
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 2>missed anything, I'm sure I'll get a text or a

188
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>call from Vincent and he'll set me straight on it.

189
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I apologize ahead of time if there was any little

190
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>nuances that were left out from that. Again, Vincent's experience

191
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>happened in twenty eleven. The following year or the year after,

192
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>he's not quite sure was when they got the photos

193
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>on the tundra. The last part of this experience happened

194
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 2>to separate villagers in twenty twenty one, again approximately three

195
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>point six miles away from the village. Vincent is reaching

196
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>out to other villagers to see if they'll come forward.

197
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>It can be tough just because of the amount of ridicule.

198
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>There's people that will post on Facebook and immediately get

199
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 2>ripped to shreds by others. And it's really unfortunate because

200
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people doing that, dishing out the ridicule

201
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>moren't likely have never gotten off their lazy ass and

202
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>been out in the woods or anywhere remote. You got

203
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to understand. This is west of Bethel, north of Nunapitchuk.

204
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>It's the epitome of remote. You can't get any more

205
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>remote than that. I make a joke, and I say

206
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>it jokingly, but you step off the road anywhere in Alaska,

207
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you're automatically remote.

208
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>It's just how it is.

209
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 2>We have moose that come through, we have bears that

210
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>come through, fox you name it.

211
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 3>There's wildlife everywhere.

212
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the few places like I know down

213
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>in the States there's black bear problems and stuff like this,

214
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and deer will come in. But up here, when the

215
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 2>wildlife come through, it's wildlife. There's no tameness to a moose.

216
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 2>A moose will stomp you to death.

217
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 3>I got a.

218
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Moose that's been coming around for the past few days.

219
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I gotta make sure I watch out for the dogs.

220
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>You gotta go outside first, make sure take a look

221
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 2>around with the flashlight. Make sure there's not a moose

222
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 2>betted down in your yard, because if you let your

223
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>dogs out, they're immediately going to run towards the moose.

224
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Most is gonna stand up and in Benji's life, you

225
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 2>don't want that. That's an ugly scene, trust me. You

226
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>don't want that at all. Again, thanks to Vincent, Thanks

227
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to those other villagers. I also encourage other villagers who

228
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>have had experiences go ahead and share. I'll keep your

229
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 2>name out of it. If you want the exact locations

230
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>left out. I've already done that several times for others.

231
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's get these things shared with everybody so that way

232
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>it's more known and.

233
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Less likely to run into ridicule in the future.

234
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining me in my backyard again. Finally, the

235
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 2>sun came back out and rainy and skeeters are ferocious.

236
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>What I wanted to share with you today comes from

237
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Lorraine now years ago. Lorraine's retired now, but she's a volcanologist.

238
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 2>For those who don't know, they study volcanoes up here

239
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>cat my. It's known as Lanta ten thousand smokes because

240
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>back in with nineteen twelve or nineteen sixteen, it was

241
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the largest volcanic event in North American history. And for

242
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a long time there was steam vents and stuff, and

243
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.879
<v Speaker 2>they were there to study. And this was back in

244
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the seventies. Now, what ended up happening was they fly in, right,

245
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 2>they fly in by floatplane. It's her a colleague, the

246
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>pilot and the guy to watch the bears. Now, Cat,

247
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of bear hunting that goes on out there,

248
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>big coastal brown bears, humongous, huge brown bears. Ten foot

249
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>plus is an uncommon, well over one thousand pounds, really

250
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>big bears. And so they get out there and they're

251
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>doing a study for They are checking for whatever kind

252
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>of particulates near the river and older river beds and

253
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>just basically doing soil samples, trying to assess whatever. I'm

254
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>not a volcanologist, so I don't know, but they're basically

255
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>getting dirt samples and stuff like that for whatever reason

256
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 2>they were doing. But anyway, so Laurie said when they

257
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>were out there, they had flew in early in the

258
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>morning out of King Salmon, and when they got there,

259
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 2>she said, it was weird from the beginning. When they

260
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 2>landed the plane, they hiked along this little lake and

261
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>they went north, just due north. After they landed, she said,

262
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the whole time, everyone in the group, the pilots, stayed

263
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.039
<v Speaker 2>over by the plane. They had their security guy and

264
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 2>her colleague and both of them were wrapped up and

265
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about bear hunting and this and that. Right, So

266
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>she's just going along just following along because they got

267
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>to get up to this point on this kind of

268
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a wash out. Now, back in the seventies, it wasn't

269
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>all vegetated in and have all the undergrowth. It was

270
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 2>still wide open. Now on the map you'll see it differently.

271
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>There's a bunch of vegetation there and stuff. But that's

272
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just because I was almost fifty years ago now, which

273
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>is crazy to say. Anyway, So they get up to

274
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>where they're going to start taking their samples and work

275
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>their way back down to the plane take off and

276
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 2>go to a different spot. So I'm goen to get

277
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>up to this point. Their security guy goes up on

278
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>this little bit of a ridge and is looking around

279
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>for any sign of brown bears near them, and he's

280
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>just keeping an eye out while her and her colleague

281
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>are down by this washout getting their samples or whatever. Now,

282
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>she said they felt like they were being watched too,

283
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 2>the two guys they kept talking about. They kept looking around, saying, man,

284
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 2>it feels like we're being watched. Thought nothing of it.

285
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>They're out in the wilds of Alaska, You're bound to

286
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 2>feel a little a little weird. As they're going along,

287
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 2>she stops and she's doing whatever with a little spade shovel.

288
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>She's moving some stuff around, looking for smaller particulars from

289
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the e or whatever. She's just just digging through the

290
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>dirt basicle.

291
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 3>And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea. We'll

292
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 3>be right back after these messages, she said. All of

293
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 3>a sudden, she gets this overwhelming hurt to look up.

294
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 3>And what she does.

295
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 2>She looks directly in front of her and in the brush,

296
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 2>which isn't as big as it is now. She said,

297
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.720
<v Speaker 2>it was about five foot tall brush. When she looks

298
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>over to it, she notices a dark shape kind of

299
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.159
<v Speaker 2>sink down in there, and at first she thought it

300
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.799
<v Speaker 2>was a wind blowing and just getting her attention that way,

301
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>just thought it was a shadow. Her colleague had his

302
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>back towards this thing and it was facing her, and

303
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>she points out to him, Hey, there was a dark

304
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>mass over there in the brush. Guys like, oh, we

305
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>got our guy watching for bears or whatever. We should

306
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 2>be okay, so let's focus on the work. Let's get

307
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>out of here. As they were having that little conversation,

308
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>she's looking over his shoulder as he's talking to her,

309
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and from what she said, this thing peaked up, saw

310
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it peek up, and she wasn't sure what she was seeing,

311
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 2>and then she saw it move off. Now, I asked her,

312
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>what did you see when it moved off? And all

313
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.919
<v Speaker 2>she saw was this roundish looking head, real dark, couldn't

314
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 2>make anything out because of the distance, and it moved

315
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>from directly in front of her off to her left

316
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>through the brush, going away from them. She mentions it

317
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.639
<v Speaker 2>again because she didn't know what it was. She thought

318
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>it was maybe a bear peeking. And so her colleague

319
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>stands up and yells at the guy up on the

320
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 2>ridge and starts pointing back behind him. Hey, look over,

321
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 2>is there anything what's going on over here? Guys looking

322
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to a scope in his rifle and he just shrugs,

323
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 2>waves that's okay or whatever. So her colleague, trusting this guy,

324
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, there's nothing.

325
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 3>He looked, it's okay. So they move on down.

326
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Basically, what they're doing is working their way back down

327
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to where the floatplane is parked, so they get to

328
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>their second spot again. For whatever reason, they're just gathering

329
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.720
<v Speaker 2>these samples, and I guess it's for dispersion of whatever.

330
00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a volcanologist.

331
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. So they get to the second spot,

332
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but the whole time they were walking down this old

333
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>wash out, she sensed very heavily that she was being watched,

334
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 2>and she kept getting the feeling like something's just not right.

335
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>And so from what Lorraine said was is when they

336
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>get to the second spot, her colleague was very uneasy.

337
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>She said she never seen him look so out of place.

338
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>He was fidgety, he was looking around, and she asked, hey,

339
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>is everything okay, and he said, look, I don't feel right.

340
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm being stared at. They're both looking

341
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.160
<v Speaker 2>around and they're not seeing anything. And as they're doing that,

342
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>when they were leaving the first spot, they had signaled

343
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>for the guy with the rifle that they're moving, and

344
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 2>so he was shortly behind them. Bad idea. You don't

345
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 2>want your security so far away that you can't do

346
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>your job. Anyway, it is what it is. So he

347
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>comes up. He's standing over him and looking around, and

348
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>her colleague is letting him know, hey, I don't feel right.

349
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 3>Something's off.

350
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.240
<v Speaker 2>So as he's explaining to the guy with the gun,

351
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the security guy, what he was feeling or whatever, they

352
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>both start looking off into the brush to the west

353
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 2>as they're doing so, their security guy goes, oh, I

354
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 2>see the bear.

355
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I see the bear.

356
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll go check it out. So he circles off to

357
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the left and starts cutting up in the brush, yelling,

358
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>hey bear. And so they're watching what's unfolding right as

359
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a security guy, she said, walks off to the left

360
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>and is going approaching the brush, making all this noise,

361
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 2>waiting for this bear to bust out of there or

362
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.400
<v Speaker 2>run away or whatever. All of a sudden, directly in

363
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.079
<v Speaker 2>front of her and her colleague, because they're looking off

364
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 2>to their left, but directly in front of them, this

365
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 2>thing stands up and looks down at Lorraine and her

366
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 2>colleague sees it first. Lorraine's still looking at security guy.

367
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Her colleague snatches her and faces her that direction, and

368
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>she immediately sees it.

369
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 3>She said it was massive.

370
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>She said that the sun was coming up behind them

371
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.319
<v Speaker 2>and it it up. And she said the skin was black.

372
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>The skin was black, the hair looked brown. Couldn't make

373
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 2>out too many features in the face because it was

374
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.000
<v Speaker 2>just a little too far away to make out features.

375
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>But she could see the glint of the daylight in

376
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 2>this thing's black eyes. And she said it was just

377
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at her, and she said the feeling she had

378
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.720
<v Speaker 2>was that it was sizing up the situation. Now that's

379
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>all speculative, it's twenty twenty hindsight type things. She's had

380
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>fifty years to dwell on it. I tend to take

381
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>people's feelings in these circumstances over speculation, and her feeling

382
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.880
<v Speaker 2>was is that she was being observed and sized up.

383
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>The group was being sized up. So immediately she screams

384
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 2>very loud, gets the attention of the guy with the

385
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 2>gun who is off to their left, and the brush

386
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>is obscuring what they're seeing. So he comes running back

387
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.440
<v Speaker 2>over and he's running about half ready with the rifle,

388
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and he gets to the point and just as he

389
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 2>sees this thing, it drops down out of you and

390
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they hear rush moving away down to the south right southwest.

391
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Immediately the guys, we gotta go, we gotta go. So

392
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 2>from that second position they move on down and they

393
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>were just getting overby where the plane was. They're within

394
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 2>one hundred yards of the plane.

395
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 3>They could see it. And as they were.

396
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Doing so, they get to a point to where they

397
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>got to go through the brush and it's real thick,

398
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 2>so they're trying to pick a spot to go through,

399
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and there's a little bit of a creek coming out

400
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>from there. At that point there was the beginnings of

401
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 2>a beaver dam that they were trying to negotiate and

402
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 2>get back and forth around, and she said, as they

403
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 2>were circling back, going a little bit north to find

404
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a game trail to cut through,

405
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:44.839
<v Speaker 2>because there's bear trails everywhere. She said, as they were

406
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 2>looking for that, all of a sudden, the guy with

407
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the rifle screams and they all turn around. Her and

408
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 2>a colleague turn around to look to see what he's doing.

409
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And he's yelling at this thing in the brush. That's

410
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 2>just she said, it kept cocking his head to the side,

411
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a curious dog would, just looking at him.

412
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what am I seeing? And they're doing the

413
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>same thing back.

414
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 3>She said.

415
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>In hindsight, it was comical because you got this large

416
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 2>creature and these three people were looking at it, and

417
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.440
<v Speaker 2>they're all doing this number like looking at each other,

418
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>like what the hell is that?

419
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.279
<v Speaker 3>She said. She wasn't laughing at the time, but she

420
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 3>can laugh about it now. She said.

421
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 2>The guy with a rifle fire is a shot off

422
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 2>right in the air because he's freaked out. This thing

423
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 2>just takes off just directly away from him. Gone, she said.

424
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 2>They bust through the brush heading back towards the plane.

425
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 2>They lost a bunch of their materials. They didn't give

426
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a flying rats ass right. They get through there, and

427
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the pilot is out on the pontoon and he's got

428
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.759
<v Speaker 2>his pistol in his hand. Is everyone okay? Is everyone okay?

429
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 2>And they're like, yeah, we're fine, we're fine. We just

430
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 2>saw something over there. Immediately the pilots said, yeah, we

431
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 2>got big bears over here. You know that. I take

432
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>hunters out here all the time. YadA, It's just a

433
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 2>big brown bear. Don't worry, just get on board. We'll

434
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.039
<v Speaker 2>go somewhere else or whatever.

435
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 3>She said.

436
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.599
<v Speaker 2>What really bothered her is she was trying to get

437
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 2>the words to share what they had actually seen, and

438
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.519
<v Speaker 2>her colleague immediately was like, don't say nothing. And the

439
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 2>guy with the gun, the security guy, who was his

440
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>own person. He wasn't obligated to anyone but himself, he

441
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 2>was just hired on for a job. He tells the

442
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 2>pilot it was a bear. I saw the bear. We're fine,

443
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 2>let's go it took off, and that's where she left it.

444
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.319
<v Speaker 2>She didn't press the issue with her colleague. She talked

445
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 2>to her colleague later on and was trying to engage

446
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>everything he saw because she kept doubting everything she's seen,

447
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and so she kept engaging him over the course the

448
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 2>next couple months as they were working what do you

449
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>think that was? What do you really think that was?

450
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.000
<v Speaker 2>And the guy just would shake his head and change

451
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>his subjects. So she left it alone. Her grandson reached

452
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 2>out to me and asked me if I would give

453
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 2>her a call, and I told him, hey, you have

454
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>her call me, because I don't want to pressure anybody.

455
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 2>If they don't want to share, they don't want to share.

456
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm still waiting to hear from the people who recorded

457
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 2>that video. Sometimes people haven't experience and they don't want

458
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to carry on about it or whatever.

459
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 3>They just move forward.

460
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Had him tell her to give me a call if

461
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 2>she felt like it, and she reached out, and I

462
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 2>want to say thank you, Lorraine. I know it was

463
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.559
<v Speaker 2>one of those things that you don't really want to relive,

464
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and I get it. Yeah, it can be rough, It

465
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>really can, especially when the people around you are not

466
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.079
<v Speaker 2>denying it, but just not really willing to engage and

467
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 2>conversate about it. I'm going to thank you guys for

468
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 2>joining me. I want to thank Lorraine especially for reaching

469
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>out for those who have had an experience. Man, don't

470
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 2>beat yourself up because you didn't ask for that shit,

471
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean.

472
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of people who self medicate.

473
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 2>They get very closed off to everyone around them because

474
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.079
<v Speaker 2>they don't know how to cope with this type of stuff,

475
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>and it really sucks. So I want to thank her

476
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.920
<v Speaker 2>for reaching out. It'd being difficult and all. Well, what

477
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I want to share with you today comes from right nearby,

478
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 2>just west to doing him.

479
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 3>Snake River.

480
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, this, according what Corey was saying, happened about a

481
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>decade ago. Okay, so what he was doing was helping

482
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>a friend of his, Bob, take a skiff that he

483
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 2>was trying to sell up the Snake River up to

484
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the lake. There was a local guy up there that

485
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.599
<v Speaker 2>wanted to purchase it. If he could get it there,

486
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 2>he would purchase it. So Bob happened to have picked

487
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>this particular skiff up from a different outfitter buddy who

488
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>was updating his fleet. Basically, the boats he used for

489
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.039
<v Speaker 2>his guide service. So what Corey said was he agreed

490
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.559
<v Speaker 2>to go along just for the adventure of it, which

491
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I totally get I would too. He goes along with him,

492
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and he's having a great time because he spent a

493
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of days up the Nushigek River where Bob was

494
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.279
<v Speaker 2>getting the skiff from and all this stuff. It was

495
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.359
<v Speaker 2>an adventure, right. Corey was actually going to work on

496
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a fishing boat once the season started up, so this

497
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>was just before everything started kicking off real heavy. So

498
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it goes with Bob and they get up the Snake River.

499
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>They were just above the tidal area, which is quite

500
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.359
<v Speaker 2>a ways in there, and so they come up to

501
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the spot and the motor was overheating.

502
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't filtering water through.

503
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 2>So Bob wanted to stop before it causing any damage

504
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 2>and work it out, you know what I mean. He

505
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:15.960
<v Speaker 2>had tools with him and everything. He's just getting ready

506
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>to sell this thing. He doesn't need it acting up

507
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.400
<v Speaker 2>when he gets to the potential buyer.

508
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.319
<v Speaker 3>And this is still relatively.

509
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Early in the morning from what Corey was saying, And

510
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 2>so they stopped and Bob gets to work. Corey brings

511
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a bear gun and he starts exploring. Basically, he lets

512
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Bob know, hey, I'm gonna walk through the brush over

513
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 2>this way. I'm gonna check out the marsh over there.

514
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a couple of ponds a little further over and whatnot.

515
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Corey liked wildlife, like ducks and stuff, and there was

516
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 2>happened to be ducks and some snow geese and some

517
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 2>other stuff landing over there, so he wanted to go

518
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 2>and check it out. Bob's like, be careful, watch out

519
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 2>for bears, and don't be long. Check in with me

520
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 2>every once in a while. So no, you're okay, Corey

521
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 2>is sure, no problem. Corey isn't an outdoors man at all.

522
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.

523
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>This job on the salmon boat, he got it out

524
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 2>of happenstance from a friend in Seattle. So he's genuinely

525
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.519
<v Speaker 2>awestruck the beauty of the area, fresh air. He's having

526
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 2>the time of his life initially. So he gets up

527
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and he's watching the swampy area and he's got an

528
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>eye on the ducks and stuff, and he starts catching

529
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.759
<v Speaker 2>this weird smell.

530
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 3>He heard bears smell bad. So I'm going to head back.

531
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 2>So he turns around he gets up from where he

532
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 2>was sitting and he starts walking back towards where the

533
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 2>skiff is parked, and he's maybe one hundred yards away

534
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.759
<v Speaker 2>ish somewhere in there, maybe a hair more, and he

535
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>could see Bob down there doing his thing, like the

536
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 2>cowing's off, the motor's kicked up, and Bob's obviously still

537
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 2>working on the skiff. So he turns around and starts

538
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 2>looking around to see if he could spot this bear.

539
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.519
<v Speaker 3>He hollers back towards Bob.

540
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 2>After he circles around and didn't see anything, he hollers back.

541
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Bob waves him over right, come over here. I can't

542
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 2>hear you or whatever. He takes his short jot just

543
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.359
<v Speaker 2>gets back over there. He said it was weird. The

544
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.720
<v Speaker 2>whole time he was walking back to tell Bob about

545
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the weird smell, he kept feeling watched. And so when

546
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>he gets over there, Bob says, hey, I don't have

547
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that much longer.

548
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll be done.

549
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 2>We'll fire it up all this kind of stuff and

550
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:18.680
<v Speaker 2>we should be able to get going here. I want

551
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to get up there and get done. Corey has no problem.

552
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey there's a weird smell, and he goes it's probably

553
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 2>just a bear. Just stay close, don't go so far away,

554
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>so that way, if something God forbid does happen, I

555
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.640
<v Speaker 2>can help out and be closer or whatever.

556
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.519
<v Speaker 3>And so Cory's he had no problem.

557
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Ask him how long he'd be said about forty five

558
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>more minutes tops, and Corey starts walking off again and

559
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.480
<v Speaker 2>he goes about half the distance and getting that smell again.

560
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.359
<v Speaker 2>So he's really nervous because he doesn't know squad about bears.

561
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>So he said he started looking around and there was

562
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 2>just small brush mainly for the most part, but off

563
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 2>to his left, he said, yeah, and he's guessing because

564
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't all that great with distances, but he's guessing

565
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe fifty to seventy feet away was this brush that seemed.

566
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.680
<v Speaker 3>To be moving with no wind blowing. So he was

567
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 3>immediately like, oh, hey bear, hey bear.

568
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Starts yelling out his friend Bob is get your ass

569
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>back over here, because he heard him saying, hey bear,

570
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 2>hey bear.

571
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Bob wanted him close.

572
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>So Bob stops what he's doing, grabs his handgun and

573
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 2>gets out of the skiff and up on the bank

574
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 2>and starts walking in the direction where Corey's standing. Because

575
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Cory said, once that brush started moving, he felt like

576
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 2>his legs were cemented to the ground. He got instantly scared,

577
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.720
<v Speaker 2>really bad. Was like he was stuck in place a

578
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.799
<v Speaker 2>fight or flight. He was stuck, and so Bob's walking

579
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.200
<v Speaker 2>over to him, and he said, Bob had covered about

580
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>half the distance when all of a sudden, the brush

581
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 2>just came alive with this god awful noise, and the

582
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 2>brush was shaking and it was a growl mixed with

583
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 2>a scream that unglued his feet. He said, his feet

584
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>were no longer in cement, and he took off running.

585
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Bob's walking his path straight to him. Right, So all

586
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 2>this transpires, Bob's standing there, He's got his gun out.

587
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>He's looking in the direction of the brush, like what

588
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the hell? Corey was spooped like a jack rabbit, he said.

589
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.200
<v Speaker 2>He turned and took off running, and as he was running,

590
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't watching where he was going. He was looking

591
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 2>back at the brush and plows right into Bob. Because

592
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Bob was focused on the brush, didn't realize Corey was

593
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:29.440
<v Speaker 2>that freaked out and was going to mow him down,

594
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. So he knocks him over.

595
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>They both jump back up real quick. Bob's cussing, what

596
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 2>the hell's wrong with you? Watch where the hell you're going?

597
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 3>Man? You don't run, you don't run.

598
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Corey wasn't hearing none of it because when he had

599
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 2>fallen down, he had dropped the shotgun and just continued

600
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:46.559
<v Speaker 2>running to the skiff and Bob's trying to get him

601
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to stop. Bob holsters a pistol, picks up the shotgun

602
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 2>and is looking over because that situation still happening over

603
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 2>in the brush. Bob was like, what the hell Corey

604
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.119
<v Speaker 2>could hear Bob saying, what the hell? What the hell

605
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 2>is that? What the hell is that?

606
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll be

607
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 3>right back after these messages.

608
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.880
<v Speaker 2>According to what Corey said, when he got to the skiff,

609
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker 2>he's looking back at Bob yelling at him.

610
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 3>Come on.

611
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Speaker 2>As he's yelling at him, he said, Bob turned and

612
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 2>looked at him to tell him to quiet down. He

613
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 2>was trying to listen because there's some noises going on

614
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 2>that Corey couldn't make out. As Bob is looking at

615
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 2>him telling him to calm down, Corey can see passed

616
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 2>him into the brush and this thing stands up, and

617
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Corey said when that thing stood up, he instantly felt

618
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.680
<v Speaker 2>sick to his stomach. He felt everything just churned and

619
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:43.960
<v Speaker 2>curdled in his stomach immediately. He said, it was dark,

620
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 2>that's all he saw, was like a dark manlike figure.

621
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.680
<v Speaker 2>When Bob turns and sees it, Bob was like holy.

622
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:52.839
<v Speaker 2>He started freaking out, and he points the shotgun in

623
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:55.119
<v Speaker 2>that direction and starts yelling, get out of here, get

624
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 2>out of here. This thing lets out a weird bellow.

625
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't really explaining it too well, but sounded just

626
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.079
<v Speaker 2>this god awful noise. It lets out this bellow towards

627
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:11.079
<v Speaker 2>them and then nonchalantly starts walking off and Bob as

628
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>soon as it turns and is walking away and not

629
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.359
<v Speaker 2>focused on Bob. Bob starts running back to the skiff

630
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>as well, and is yelling at Corey to get the

631
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>calling on the motor, get the calling on the motor

632
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Corey doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

633
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>There was still work to do on it, and there's

634
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.319
<v Speaker 2>some tools out and stuff. Corey didn't know, so he

635
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 2>just froze. He was like, I don't know. So Bob

636
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.799
<v Speaker 2>comes running over, hands him the shotgun says, you keep

637
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:35.559
<v Speaker 2>an eye out on that thing and tell me what

638
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.079
<v Speaker 2>it's doing.

639
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 3>Corey wanted no part of it. He was freaked out.

640
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>So he's standing there on one of the rungs of

641
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>the skiff trying to look that direction, and once it

642
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.680
<v Speaker 2>walked off and got a certain distance, he couldn't see shit.

643
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Bob's doing this thing with the motor, getting what he

644
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.079
<v Speaker 2>was doing back together. Once he did and fires it up,

645
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>it seemed to be working better the stream of water

646
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that circulates through because it's got this little pump that

647
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.960
<v Speaker 2>sucks water through as a coolant and spits it out,

648
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and so it seemed to be operating better or whatever.

649
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.279
<v Speaker 2>And so they push off, they back out, and they

650
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:11.160
<v Speaker 2>start ripping up river. According to what Corey said, happened

651
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 2>next was they get about three bends up. The bends

652
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>aren't real tight, so in a big scheme of things,

653
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.519
<v Speaker 2>they weren't traveling very far north. It was just it

654
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>was eating up by these curves.

655
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Going around in the river.

656
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.680
<v Speaker 2>And again, the location I show on the map is

657
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>strictly a reference. It's not the exact place because Corey

658
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.960
<v Speaker 2>was unable to figure out the exact place first time

659
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 2>up there a lot of first times for him that day.

660
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 2>So he said, when they were about three more binds

661
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 2>up going along, he was freaking out and Bob was

662
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 2>a laughing. I don't know what the hell that was, man,

663
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 2>but it was massive. And so they're going along and

664
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Bob slows down, bottles down and is looking up on

665
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.559
<v Speaker 2>the bank and points, and Corey turns and looks, and

666
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.839
<v Speaker 2>there it was, standing over off the river bank, looking

667
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 2>at him in the brush. It was standing there. It

668
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't doing anything but just standing and watching. Bob starts

669
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 2>yelling at it, and it stood there. Finally he stopped yelling,

670
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and whatever he was doing, it fired back up, and

671
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>they continued on.

672
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 3>The cell went through, they got rid of the skiff.

673
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>They got a ride from a friend from Snakelike back

674
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.559
<v Speaker 2>to Dillingham, and they were going to go out the

675
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.799
<v Speaker 2>next day back to camp. Bob was going to return

676
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:27.680
<v Speaker 2>to his job basically, and Corey was just going to

677
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>stand Dillingham. Corey said that when he was in Dillingham

678
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>he went down to the Cnbar that's right down from

679
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and End.

680
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Anyone who's been to Dillingham.

681
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Knows Cnbar, So he said he was in there. This

682
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:43.759
<v Speaker 2>was like a day after and it just opened, so

683
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 2>there was only like maybe two people in there. But

684
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 2>he saw an older Native guy and he doesn't remember

685
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the guy's name, but he went over to him and

686
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.599
<v Speaker 2>asked him, Hey, you ever hear anything weird about the

687
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Snake River. Here's what happened to us, and lays it

688
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 2>out and he said the old Native guy just chuckled

689
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 2>at him and just went on about his business, didn't

690
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 2>even really, outside of chuckling at him, give any acknowledgment

691
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to what anything. Corey said, I told him that's not uncommon.

692
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>He thought the old guy was rude, which is fair enough.

693
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:14.599
<v Speaker 2>He was just looking for some info, but hey, it

694
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 2>is what it is in a small town. I want

695
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 2>to thank Corey for sharing. For people that go out

696
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 2>there wanting an encounter, you got to be careful what

697
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 2>you wish for, because things happen, man, and the shock

698
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>to the system is just it's not what you think

699
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.079
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be. It's not a Patterson Gimlin moment.
