1
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: At a book in.

2
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: Tonight's guest is Adam. Adam, Welcome to the show. Hello Vic,

3
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:35,879
how are you getting things done? As long as I

4
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,200
can say that, then it can't be too bad. How

5
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,920
about yourself, I'm doing fine. Lake is good well, as

6
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,959
long as you can say that, that's a good thing. Adam,

7
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,519
please give us a brief bio in yourself.

8
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm thirty four years old.

9
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I am from the Island Province of Newfoundland, Canada. I

10
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,719
do prospecting for a living, so I spend a lot

11
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,079
of time in the woods, so I like go with him.

12
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,120
It's only ever me and my dog, and we go

13
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:09,759
for tens of kilometers out sometimes, and I love spending

14
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,840
time in the nature and being by myself in nature

15
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:19,319
and everything about it. Really, i had two kids thirteens now,

16
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,520
and I've been moving around all over the island the best,

17
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,560
I would say, fifteen years, just bouncing around from place

18
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:34,120
to place depending on where I'm prospecting at the time.

19
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: So I've seen a lot of the island.

20
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of nature and stuff, so nothing

21
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,080
really ever surprises me with the place I'm from. The

22
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:49,639
area i'm from is all Pity Harbor and there's a

23
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,159
lot of old history here. We were one of the

24
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,439
first Don't settlements in all North America. It was settled

25
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:01,919
in sixteen hundreds roughly, and we have a lot of

26
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:06,759
stuff that I never really bade attention before until I've

27
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,960
had my first encounter.

28
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my bio.

29
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:14,199
Speaker 2: It's funny, Like I told you the first time we spoke,

30
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,639
even your new places are older than our old places.

31
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, well they're pretty old. Everything's all out

32
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:24,479
this way.

33
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,199
Speaker 2: Well, that just means a lot of good history. You

34
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,439
had your first dog me an encounter about ten or

35
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,080
eleven years ago, Adam in a town called tor Bay

36
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:34,280
in Newfoundland.

37
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: There.

38
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:36,759
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about the place.

39
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,919
Speaker 1: It's out in a road called Valeine Line, And when

40
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,479
I first moved there, it was starting to get developed.

41
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:50,360
The road is pretty barren, like say, probably even two

42
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:54,639
years prior before I moved to the area. Just picture

43
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,439
our road cutting straight through the woods, and that is

44
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,240
what it is, and just people started putting houses on it.

45
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:06,240
And there was a subdivision getting built when my first

46
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,479
encounter happened. So I'm not entirely sure that had something

47
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,240
to do with deciding, but it's quite a place like

48
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,800
there's a place that like you would often see moose,

49
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,639
Like it's in the middle of everything. So it wasn't

50
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,720
strange to see a moose out that way?

51
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,439
Speaker 2: Is it that way? Across all of Newfoundland were pretty

52
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,360
much you got outside and at any time you could

53
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,639
almost bump into a moose or or only certain areas

54
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,240
of Newfoundland.

55
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,519
Speaker 1: Certain areas I would say, the area that I'm in

56
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:44,439
right now, pity, however, it's it's really hilly, so like

57
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,519
unless you're up on top of the hills, up further

58
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,240
away from the ocean, your chances are seeing like a

59
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,319
moose or something you might but not usually in the

60
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,199
general area that I'm in now, like, but out towards

61
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Bottling Line that way where I had my first encounter.

62
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,839
Was it's very like like you're in the middle of

63
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,800
nowhere up that way. But in Pitty Harbor, it's a

64
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,399
small nick community, so like everybody knows everybody, and all

65
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:14,000
the houses are like bunched together.

66
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,759
Speaker 3: But there is a lot of wilderness down here.

67
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,399
Speaker 1: I will say that, like it's just like if you

68
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,199
take a bunch of houses and put them in the

69
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,319
middle of nowhere, and then that's how you get our communities,

70
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,519
and there's like nothing missing between the communities, so it's

71
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,680
pretty dea slate place.

72
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Sounds like a great dogman habitat to me, no wonder.

73
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,439
After you had that first encounter, it seemed like it

74
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,160
was almost like the wheel came off. You started to

75
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,319
have experience after experience with dog men. Do you think

76
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,680
you were marked somehow?

77
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,439
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I think I might have,

78
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120
like without like knowing it at the time, like because

79
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000
I've been out in the wood since, like I've been

80
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560
fourteen years old, like I said, I'm thirty four now,

81
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040
so a long in the woods, and I think like

82
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,759
I might have like did something or I might have

83
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,600
upset him in his natural place out when I was

84
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,519
out there doing something like it could have been like

85
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:17,079
I go when I prospect, like I go break up minerals,

86
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,040
and if I need to get a specimen tested in

87
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,199
the lab, I had to take something back with me.

88
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure if it was, like.

89
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, it could be something as simple as

90
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:31,160
me taking a rock that blind to him. It could

91
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,879
have been something to blind to him, or I could

92
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,439
have just did something out one day in the middle

93
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:39,319
of nowhere. But I know that.

94
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: There's something to it because ever since that day it's

95
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,000
been constant, right like.

96
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: It's been. It's a bit unnerving because I don't know

97
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,920
what I did to start at all.

98
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll bet it has been a nerving It's been

99
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,079
one experience after the next. Unfortunately, you said that you're

100
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,360
a prospector what do you prospect for?

101
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: In?

102
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: How long have you done that?

103
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:13,639
Speaker 1: I've been prospecting now too well career eras since I

104
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:18,199
was I'm going to say twenty three. I've been rock

105
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,279
counting as a hobby since I was a kid. Now

106
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:26,399
I've only started getting into it like financially, like I said,

107
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,120
since twenty.

108
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,759
Speaker 3: Probably twenty three or twenty like twenty two or.

109
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,399
Speaker 1: Twenty three, I think I was, and I started actually

110
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:35,920
doing it to make money.

111
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 3: I'm here in New Finland. Area I'm in now.

112
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,439
Speaker 1: Is not my favorite area for it because I'm only

113
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:49,199
getting jasper agates, different type of heel and stones basically

114
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:50,759
right it's coming in.

115
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: It's a glacial till site.

116
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: I got to claim on down here, but in Gander

117
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,959
I was working goal claims. We get gold. It comes

118
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,800
up from the ground in in courts veins, so it's

119
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:06,839
nothing like you see on TV, like go to the

120
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,240
river and paying for gold or anything like that. Everything

121
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:13,519
you do about that way, you gotta have every equipment,

122
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,639
like everything you're using rosas and drills and taking core

123
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,959
samples and stuff like that. There's a really a really

124
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,199
big goal boom in a central Newfoundland right now, Well.

125
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: That sounds like a lot of really hard work. How

126
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,439
hard is it for you to do that kind of

127
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000
work though? Knowing what could be watching you at any

128
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,679
time from the shadows.

129
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: It's affected me to the point right now, Like before

130
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,519
I had this encounter, like my first, well it wasn't

131
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320
my first. It was the second one that really did

132
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840
it for me. But like I never thought of nothing

133
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,080
about it after my very first one, and I just

134
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,759
used to do my own thing.

135
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: So I just go do my own thing. The only

136
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,159
thing I ever really worried about is.

137
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,919
Speaker 1: Moose, because we have moose here, and we have black beer,

138
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,320
some links in, some Bbcat and every now and again

139
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,799
a calio. Nothing really big that I'm scared of. Scared of,

140
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,519
right like more scared of than moose than anything else.

141
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,080
And I always took my dog with me. Dog's always

142
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,559
been with me, because you're not allowed to use fire

143
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,279
armble unless you're a hunter, you're not allowed to have

144
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,720
a fire answer, So I don't do any hunting. So

145
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,639
I only ever took beer, mace or something with me

146
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:32,240
like that. But I never really thought about it until

147
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,960
my second encounter, and after that, I do not go

148
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,360
more than like two kilometers out, Like there's a cut

149
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,639
off point for me now, whereas like if that can

150
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,639
do bad happen down too far away? Well, saying that,

151
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,240
I always have a list before I leave, I have

152
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,799
a checklist to like different type of gear I take

153
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240
with me. I take satellite phoneme or something like that.

154
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,879
I take food, I take extra food, I take brain gear.

155
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,919
I look at the weather before I leave. I tell

156
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480
people where I'm going and when to expect me back,

157
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,080
and if I'm not back at a certain time then

158
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:10,440
to do that. But like I said, ever since the

159
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,000
second encounter, it hasn't been the same. I haven't been

160
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,840
doing what I love to do anymore, right, so it's

161
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:19,919
definitely affected me.

162
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:25,399
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure these experiences have. Yeah, that's totally normal.

163
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:30,720
So sorry to hear that's the key though. All right, Adam,

164
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,080
you've got a lot to tell us about. Please tell

165
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:35,919
us about your encounters. Now give us ever last detail

166
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,879
that comes to mind.

167
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: My first encounter took place about ten or eleven years

168
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,480
ago and Bawlin Line. It was i would say middle

169
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,320
of the day. I was out on a patio having

170
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,679
a cigarette. It's a bad habit, but I was out

171
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,360
having cigarette and I was just doing my thing, and

172
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:59,759
I was looking down the driveway. I had a straight

173
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:02,440
straight down the driveway. I would say, it's about fifty

174
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:03,840
meters down the driveway too.

175
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: Across the road and the woods here is really.

176
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,759
Speaker 1: Thick, like if something was standing in like three feet

177
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:14,360
behind the woodline, you wouldn't see it. But there was

178
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,279
I'm not sure how long with stretch, but there's a

179
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,840
gap between the woodline across the road to my driveway.

180
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:25,879
And I was looking down there and a moose, a big,

181
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,759
full grown bull moose, I think, probably the biggest one

182
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,639
I ever seen. It came running and I'm going to

183
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,519
guess it like from the size of the area that

184
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,679
ran through. It might have took twenty steps maybe till

185
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,159
it was gone. But like I was thinking myself at

186
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,159
the time, it's strange because we like, why is it running?

187
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,279
I never seen a moose running like that before in

188
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,320
my life unless there was a car or something. But

189
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,399
there's no cars. And then like I was, I never

190
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,279
had the thought process. And I seen a big eat

191
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:05,039
mass and it leaked from one end, but from one

192
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,879
the beginning of the meadow to the opposite side. After

193
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:12,519
the moose. It didn't touch the ground, not once. And

194
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,879
like I was telling Vick, I didn't see no. I

195
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:20,120
didn't see the front or the rare pause. I saw

196
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120
a head and a tail. The head I couldn't like,

197
00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:28,200
like I said, it happened that fast. I could not

198
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,600
pick out any details I've seen a head. The head

199
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,320
was really big, I all that, and it looked unproportionalized,

200
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,960
like the head from the rest of its body.

201
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: And it had a really long, fluffy tail.

202
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: And the animal was completely white, like I've never seen

203
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,440
a wild animal that was white be so clean.

204
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: But like it happened in a blink of and eye.

205
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: If I had to turn my head to look at

206
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,919
my door behind me and look back, I wouldn't even unnoticed.

207
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,639
After that sighting, I stayed around on my front deck

208
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,240
and waged it around because I was going to take

209
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,840
a picture of it.

210
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: And it never ever did come back.

211
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: So it was later that night we were getting ready

212
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,080
to go to bed, or we might have been been

213
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,960
in bit. We're lying down or something, me and my

214
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,720
ex girlfriend at the time, and we started getting window

215
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,679
tapping and it was like tat tat tat, and then

216
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,480
like we thought somebody was out there, so we went

217
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:27,879
to look.

218
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:30,399
Speaker 3: We went to look out one window.

219
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: And this is funny because it happened to us like

220
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:36,840
it was almost like this plane shad trick Simons. We'd

221
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:39,759
look out one window and the window opposite side of

222
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:43,039
the house we would get a tap. And at the time,

223
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,879
we did not we did not correlate the what I

224
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,480
seen that day with the window tapping. I've never I've

225
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,919
never heard anything about a dog man or I've never

226
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,200
even heard anybody talk about a bigfoot of anything like that.

227
00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:04,200
I'm in my province, so that that thought was in

228
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,200
the back of my mind, like wasn't even there. So, uh,

229
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,759
the window tapping continued on and off for I would

230
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:16,200
say the whole time we were there.

231
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,399
Speaker 3: It wasn't every night thing.

232
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: It was like it happened one night and then two

233
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:24,039
or three nights after that happened again. It was always

234
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,879
random different times at the night too. Sometimes it would

235
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:28,360
be in the middle of the night and away because

236
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,679
but it was always like you go check one window,

237
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,120
and like I said, you hear it on the opposite

238
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
in the house, so as you go check it.

239
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,559
Speaker 3: But that continued the whole time we were there. So

240
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:40,279
we moved.

241
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: I had a family member back home back in Petty

242
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,120
Harbor gets sick, so I wanted to move back home

243
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:51,159
and help take care of them. And when I moved back,

244
00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:56,600
we're live in Okay, so Pitty However, my hometown Pitty Horever.

245
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,279
Speaker 3: It's actually college. Full name is Pitty Harbor.

246
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:02,039
Speaker 1: Magis the reason it is called that is there's a

247
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,720
hill in between the community from one in the community to.

248
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,279
Speaker 3: Where I live.

249
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,759
Speaker 1: Say, my mom lives in the Pity Harbor section and

250
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,240
I live in the max Co section. I'd never lived

251
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,159
down in that section before in my life, and we

252
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:17,639
were pretty happy to be back home. And we were

253
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:20,720
there for a while. We never got no taps, not

254
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,519
for a while, and then I think one random night

255
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:30,600
again started getting window taps. And at the time still

256
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,399
I didn't put two and two together. And this one

257
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:38,320
night I can remember it was one of one of

258
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:43,799
the scarier things that happened to me. Uh, me and

259
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,039
my ex girlfriend. We were lying down to sleep where

260
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,159
we were in bit of sleep, and I got a

261
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,279
little beagle. His name is Blue, and he don't he's

262
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,879
not really like a growly type of dog, and I've

263
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:56,600
never heard him growl really a couple of times. This

264
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,879
one night he woke us up and he was growling,

265
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:02,399
and he's grown back. And the place that we were

266
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,039
living I'm still living in like the.

267
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:06,679
Speaker 3: Basement half of the house.

268
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:12,159
Speaker 1: So my bed is up against the wall, but the

269
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,519
window is i'd say, halfway up the wall, so like

270
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,519
you're it was behind us. So we woke up and

271
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:23,440
he was groundling, but he was grounding looking at us,

272
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,279
and we were like, he's looking at us, grounding, And

273
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,440
then we realized he was groundling at something behind us

274
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,240
in the window, and both of us i think, looked

275
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,559
at the same time, and we all we can come

276
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,279
out of it. When we stopped to talk about it afterwards.

277
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:42,039
Was a bit like my window is probably four fat

278
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:49,159
wide and four feet long, probably say, and this head

279
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:53,440
was almost a whole circle, like the whole window almost

280
00:16:53,799 --> 00:17:01,000
it came in almost like a bluff charge, but I'm

281
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,840
thinking it has pretty good reflexes because it hit my window.

282
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,920
It hit my window, and I thought it was common

283
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,319
through the window, but it's nosehated. When it's nose d

284
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,400
it backed up and it was almost like a snake strike.

285
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,119
It happened that fast. It was like it if you

286
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,079
blink it would miss it. And that was just gone.

287
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:26,119
So that experience scared us pretty bad. I took a

288
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,359
lot convincing not to move out of there. To my

289
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:33,880
ex we ended up switching. Well, my place got two bedrooms,

290
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,839
one in the front, one in the back, so we're

291
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,039
staying where our bedroom was in the back of the house.

292
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:40,640
Next morning we moved to the front of the house.

293
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:45,160
Needs to stay and and it's just that was the

294
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,960
first time I had an experience in pity. However, now

295
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,720
the window tapping continued, continued the whole time. Were still

296
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,759
to day. I still don't know what's up with the

297
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:02,599
window tapping, but I would say, well, five years ago,

298
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:06,319
I got a really good job offer to go work

299
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,759
out go on mine in Ganner, And while I was

300
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,279
out there, I was going to try to get a claimmate,

301
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:15,960
steak a claim for myself, and I ended up doing

302
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,039
that and it.

303
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:20,599
Speaker 3: Was going good.

304
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: It was like everything was going perfect for us for

305
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,839
a while, and like we never had no tap thing,

306
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,920
because I'll be like we were renting the apartment I

307
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200
had in pity however, and still renting one out of

308
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,200
Gander so I can come back and forth and help

309
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,759
my sick family member. So I was out there about

310
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:42,960
five months now, and just one morning I woke up

311
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:45,160
and I was pretty bored. I had nothing to do.

312
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
I'd say it was probably like six thirty or something

313
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,599
when I woke up, and I already had to date

314
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,599
it for yuh. Because whenever I go to go prospect

315
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:58,839
and all always the day before go online American on

316
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
the mad shirt. Well, first of I'll searching on a

317
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:05,240
map find a good area. I uses Google Maps mixed

318
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:10,119
with topographical maps to find good areas a prospect. So

319
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,200
I found this one area and it was at the

320
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,680
bottom of a hill an old ski resort. The ski

321
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,319
resort was banded, I believe in the eighties. So I

322
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,920
talked to one of the locals out there and he

323
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720
said it closed down in the eighties. So that's all

324
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,079
I understand. Scne not from the areas about five hour

325
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:35,000
drive from here. So this one morning I got off

326
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,720
and I got ready and got on my gear together.

327
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,119
And my house was the one that I was staying

328
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,799
at the time in Gander, was right next to a

329
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:46,200
highway at four Lane Highway, and the area that I

330
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,200
had planned on prospect was across the Hollyway. In about

331
00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:53,920
five minute walk up the street, up the highway and

332
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,200
you would hit a tourist information booth.

333
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,079
Speaker 3: A tourist information booth was in.

334
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,079
Speaker 1: The air general area where the ski resort lodge would

335
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:07,640
have been before the tour down. So there's a gate

336
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:12,480
behind the tourist informations place and the hikers and people

337
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:17,039
uses all the old ski routes for hiking trails and stuff,

338
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,759
I guess. So the area that I needed to get

339
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:22,559
to was at the bottom of the hill. And I

340
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:24,720
don't know how long the hill is. I should have

341
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,519
looked up, but I think it's like two or three

342
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,960
kilometers from top to bottom. It's not like a steep,

343
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,279
steep hill. It's more of a long hill than anything.

344
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,039
And the area chose down by a lake, like a

345
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:42,440
big joint lake called Gander Lake. And I was down

346
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,519
there and doing my thing like I use a rock

347
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,920
hammer when I'm breaking rocks open, and certain rocks like

348
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,119
you can feel when you pick them up at how

349
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,200
heavy they are, and like you can almost tell they

350
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,599
know I'm not going to be able to break this

351
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,559
one open, but.

352
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 3: You're going to try to anyways.

353
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: So I had to rock and I hit a four times,

354
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,880
and I think after the fourth time, I was like, no,

355
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:06,559
not even like sometimes I'm after hitting rocks, I'm like

356
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,400
hurting my elbows. So I'm like, now I'm just gonna

357
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,279
lay that down. It's not worth it. So as soon

358
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:16,480
as I laid it down, I heard the exact same noise,

359
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,440
well it sounded to me the exact same noise is

360
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,200
what I just made with the rock camer hitting the rock.

361
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,680
It would make a high pitch ting sound like ding

362
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,960
ding when it would hit a rock that it couldn't break.

363
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: And I heard in response four taps back.

364
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: And I knew at this point that I always at

365
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,599
the Battlement Hill by myself because the parking lot there

366
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,160
was no other hikers vehicles there, and I would have

367
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:47,440
seen anybody if they had come down that area. And

368
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680
like I did like watch beef with shows and stuff

369
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,039
like growing up, and I've heard like wood knocks and

370
00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:57,000
stuff like that, but I've never heard I don't know,

371
00:21:57,319 --> 00:21:59,559
it could be a thing. I've never heard it like

372
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,440
rocks getting plank together. But it sounded like rocks getting

373
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,400
plank together, but like with a middle pin to it.

374
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,359
And that started just startled me, right, So I turned

375
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,119
around to look at my dog to see if he

376
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,720
was out right. And he will always like he's actually

377
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,599
saved me from like bobcats and stuff, not like actually

378
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:26,359
foot of bobcat out, but like he'll bark and let

379
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,519
me notice something there, and then I'll look and see

380
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:30,559
about getting like, okay, thanks, I didn't know that was

381
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,160
dear the thing. You know, we'll move on, you know,

382
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,119
saying with moves and other stuff to help move with that.

383
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,400
But this one time, he wasn't parking, he wasn't doing

384
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,359
the growl and nothing. He was opposite I was faced

385
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,839
one way, he was opposite direction of me, probably would

386
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,319
have been the left hand, and he was just laid

387
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,279
there and he was just crying like I've never seen

388
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,559
him do that. It's almost like he just submitted whatever

389
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,519
was there. I didn't want to have nothing to do

390
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:03,880
with it. You just you know, I'm just gonna lie

391
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,319
down and deal with you. Solid did, and we had

392
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:10,079
I heard a branch break, a really big branch. I

393
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:14,680
sounded like somebody took a tree and broke it. And

394
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,880
I said, okay, enough of this doesn't take much to

395
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000
scare of me. Like so I'm out of the wool.

396
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,319
Especially you're out in the woods for so long. He

397
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960
knows what you hear like. You're used to the sounds right.

398
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,119
Like stuff that I was hearing down there that morning,

399
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,200
I was never heard before the whole time I've been

400
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,839
out in the woods over the years. So I just said, no,

401
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,720
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this. We're gonna leave.

402
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,359
So Iron tied him as quick as I could, and

403
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,680
we started walking up the path the way we came.

404
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,720
It wasn't very long we were on the path. I

405
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,000
started hearing something on the left hand side of me.

406
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,000
And the path is only break I'm not joking with you,

407
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:04,880
probably five six feet wide, if that, maybe possibly even four.

408
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,079
It used to be wide ski trails, but they all

409
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,200
got overgrown, I was told. But from the left hand

410
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,880
side I was hearing walking and I would walk faster,

411
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:19,079
and as I would walk faster, it got faster but

412
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,000
it didn't seem like it was getting fast, it didn't

413
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,839
seem like it was using any effort. And then that's

414
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,079
when rocks started getting thrown at us, well not me,

415
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:31,079
but my dog, and like not small rocks, like rocks

416
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,480
the size of my head, and like it kept happening.

417
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,599
So I just took off as fast as I could,

418
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,480
and this thing, whatever it was, was on the left

419
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,279
hand side of me. It followed me up the whole time,

420
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,160
flicking rocks, and it didn't and it didn't like it, like,

421
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:52,079
it didn't seem to stop to pick up the rocks.

422
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,799
It's a strange thing, like when thinking I'd stopped and

423
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:57,119
look for a rock to throw, noe, this thing would

424
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,759
just followed me the whole way up and throw rocks.

425
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:03,519
And it discontinued about three quarters the whole way up

426
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:07,759
the up the hill and till I just about seeing

427
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,359
the Tourist Information Center again when I remember in my

428
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,200
mom seeing the corner of it. And as soon as

429
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,119
I seen it, it just stopped, just instantly stopped. I

430
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,039
never heard nothing chasing me. No more rocks got thrown,

431
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,279
but I didn't stop. I did not stop. I kept

432
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,400
running and I ran home and I think my girlfriend

433
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,000
at the time, she wasn't home, so as I got home,

434
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:36,000
and I had all this built up energy, like looking

435
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:37,640
at the windows, like did it follow me?

436
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 3: Like all this other stuff.

437
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: And she eventually got home and I told her about it,

438
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,039
and I'm like, I think I had a big foot experience.

439
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,279
Not never ever heard of the dog man or anything

440
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,519
like that. And being a normal person, you know, she's

441
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:58,079
just gonna laugh and be like you, that didn't happen yet,

442
00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:03,799
so she didn't believe me, right, And uh, I think

443
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:06,559
it was like a couple of days after that, the

444
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,680
windows started tapping started again.

445
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,559
Speaker 3: And my theory with the window tapping.

446
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,279
Speaker 1: Is because the first time we moved, it took a

447
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:19,079
little wall for the tapping to start to start up again.

448
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:23,160
And the same time, just when I moved five hours away,

449
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,799
which is a really long job, it took like months

450
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,799
for the tapping to start. And I'm thinking the months

451
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,839
in between or weeks, however long it was, I'm thinking,

452
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,759
that's how long it took me took them to find

453
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:40,640
me again. But I'm after moving from literally Ardess, you

454
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,880
can go east to the middle of the island, and

455
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,039
I found me. Man, it might have took a long time,

456
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,160
but it found me. But uh so.

457
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: Uh sometime later.

458
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:58,559
Speaker 1: I have no goog with like remembered dates and stuff

459
00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:04,680
because I apologize. But sometime later, I was sitting down

460
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,920
on my computer. I run a rock identification group on Facebook.

461
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,799
Like somebody posts the rock on Facebook and I me

462
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,480
and a couple of moderators we try to help identify

463
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:18,000
through pictures and we asked them to do tests and stuff.

464
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,960
But I was on moderating the group that morning and

465
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,119
I had my front window opening, and it was a beautiful,

466
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,880
beautiful morning man, and there was no traffic. There's nobody

467
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,119
open this place. I lived in Gander. It was next

468
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,000
to like, and there's not a big town at all.

469
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,640
It was a pretty small town. But the spot that

470
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,079
I was living in it was almost you would say,

471
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,599
like a subdivision area, like there was houses around. But

472
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,599
this one morning when I had I think it was

473
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,440
a couple minutes after opening the window, I set back

474
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,359
down the computer and I heard the most ungodly, loudest

475
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,400
sound I ever heard in my life. It scared me

476
00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:04,480
so at first, like I almost fell out of the chair.

477
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:08,240
It woke my my my ex up. She Bryant woke up,

478
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:13,559
ran upstairs, and it continued for about five or six minutes.

479
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,759
And I try to make the noise but I don't

480
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:21,680
want to sound silly or nothing. But after like the

481
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,519
initial scare, it sounded like it was mourning something or

482
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:31,400
it was crying. It was like, it's so strange, like

483
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:33,920
if you like, I've never seen a book, like we

484
00:28:34,039 --> 00:28:36,400
had wolves here apparently one hundred years ago, but they

485
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,240
all got killed off. Now there's apparently there's some sightings

486
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:43,559
on the west of the island. But I've never seen

487
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:45,440
the whole time that ben Woods. Have never heard nothing,

488
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,279
never seen nothing, nothing like it, Like if you see

489
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:50,759
like a movie like you it makes a wolf sound

490
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,480
like a demonic sound, and like I don't know how

491
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,640
to explain it, that's how it sounds. But it sounded

492
00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:00,640
sad at the same time, like after it getting scared first,

493
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,440
it just sounded sad. And even even my ex girlfriend

494
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,599
she said, it sounds sad. It sounds like it's hurd.

495
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,119
Sounds like it's hurd or it's crying or something. But

496
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:11,279
I could tell where the sound was coming from. It

497
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:14,119
sounded like it was coming from like let's say, like

498
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,240
a T shape and right so like I lived on.

499
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,759
Speaker 3: That's hard to explain. Actually I can tell which house.

500
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:23,079
Speaker 1: It was coming from the woods behind a certain house,

501
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,119
but the sound sounded like it was sitting in my

502
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
front yard. It sounded like it's head was in my window,

503
00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:29,920
like yelling.

504
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:31,079
Speaker 3: That's how loud.

505
00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:34,119
Speaker 1: It was like voidbrat yet like kind of inside just

506
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,000
listening to it.

507
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,559
Speaker 3: So after that happened, I started going on.

508
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: YouTube to see if I can find the sound I

509
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:49,720
can compare it to. And it took me a while actually,

510
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:51,839
and then after a while I did find a video.

511
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:56,519
I think it was called Strange Noises Heard in Canadian Woods.

512
00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:01,039
I think that's what it's called, and it's exact same noise.

513
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,440
And I know it's exactly the same noise because when

514
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,319
I was listening to the video, I turned it up

515
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:09,480
loud so I can hear it more clearly.

516
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: And when I did, my ex at the time, she

517
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:14,759
came running back upstairs. She said, it's the back, Is

518
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:15,680
it back? Is it back?

519
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:18,759
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, that's the same noise I heard, right,

520
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:20,799
But it sounded like I said, it sounded like it

521
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:21,319
was crying.

522
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: That's the only vocal I ever got from them.

523
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: I've never heard them other than that, just like the

524
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,279
only vocal I got it from it, But.

525
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,599
Speaker 3: Was it for that day? This next one? This is

526
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,160
why we moved.

527
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Back home from Gander. One night, I was on computer

528
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:48,920
and after hearing that video and realizing it was the

529
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,880
same noise, I think I was reading through the comments

530
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,079
or something, and that's how I came across dog Man.

531
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,640
Was through that video, and I think I was watching

532
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,720
one of the Vig's videos, I think at the time,

533
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,079
because I was like interested, and I'm like, okay something.

534
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,680
Other people are singing what I'm singing, so I'm not

535
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,759
going crazy, I don't think. And I was watching videos

536
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,000
and my girlfriend at the time, she would always take

537
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,960
her kid and walk up the road to her friend's house.

538
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Her friend's house maybe ten houses up the road, not

539
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,839
very fair, like five minute walk probably, So I was

540
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,319
waiting home for them to come back down from her

541
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,440
kid playing with her friend's kids, and I was chilling.

542
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,559
Speaker 3: The next thing, he knows I.

543
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Here screaming, and I don't realize it's her screaming, so

544
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,440
I'm like, oh my god. So I runs out the

545
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:41,079
door and like as I'm running out the door, I'm

546
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,640
running out the driveway and up road to meet her.

547
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: She's like, it's there, stare stairs there. I'm like, what's there.

548
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,559
She's like a big wolf, a huge wolf. I'm like,

549
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,240
what are you talking about? A huge wolf?

550
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: And like I was scanning the area trying to find it,

551
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,680
and now I've seen it, and it.

552
00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,799
Speaker 3: Was a cross the road. I'd say probably.

553
00:32:03,519 --> 00:32:05,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how many houses up from me at

554
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,720
the time, like five or six houses off from us,

555
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:12,640
Like each house is probably ten feet from each other.

556
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,960
And this thing, it's funny at first. It was funny

557
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,039
at first because I was laughing. I was like, you

558
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:24,599
kidding me? Do you see that? And like I try

559
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,319
not to use her name. Now I will say her

560
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,279
name is Nicole. So it's like, did you see that, Nicole?

561
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,079
And she was like, yeses it?

562
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: And the thing.

563
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Now, this thing is all whife and it's avoiding the

564
00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:42,119
street lights.

565
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: Crawling on all fours almost like an army chop, and

566
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:51,359
it's crawling around the corners of the houses, avoiding the light,

567
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,079
and it's thinking that it's not being seen.

568
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:55,079
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it realized that it was.

569
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,279
It knew it was our wife, and I could see

570
00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:02,200
it like and it was that white vic like that

571
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,960
when the moon hit it, it's almost like a blue

572
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,519
shine ameopies for type thing.

573
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:09,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was lights from a house that.

574
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:11,359
Speaker 1: Did that or what, but there was almost like a

575
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:17,119
blue shine came out. And he continued doing this the

576
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,960
whole like the whole way down until about two houses

577
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,119
across from us.

578
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,839
Speaker 3: And when he got about it, like I said, two

579
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,839
houses across.

580
00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:27,319
Speaker 1: From us, we came to a corner and it would

581
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,160
like if you were facing the opposite side of the

582
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,759
road from you and looking at a house on the

583
00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:35,720
left side of that house, the corner, the front corner,

584
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,079
and the left hands it got the deer, and I

585
00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:42,920
thought up until him then it was just a giant,

586
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:51,839
huge wolf and it stood up. It literally stood up

587
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:56,519
and put its hand on the corner of the house

588
00:33:58,759 --> 00:34:02,799
and we just like we was speechless when this happened.

589
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,559
I could see details on it this time. I got

590
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:11,280
a good look at him this time, and he had

591
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,440
like we got no raccoons or nothing here so like,

592
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:17,039
but I'm after seeing video of the raccoons and stuff.

593
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,679
I had really long fingers, but he had a human hand,

594
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,000
had a human hand, but the fingers were really long.

595
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,280
I wouldn't be able to tell you the color of

596
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,039
his nails or nothing, because it was dark and still

597
00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:32,760
a bit fair away, but I could see that he

598
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,679
had like really muscly long like it was almost like

599
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,760
it even if he hunched over a little bit, it

600
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,960
was almost like as if his fingers would just be

601
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,760
barely off the ground. And he had really his head

602
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,039
was huge. His head was huge's almost like cartoony looking right,

603
00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:53,800
like way bigger than he said. I had to pre

604
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,360
record him with me and vic I said kind of look,

605
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,280
I don't know if any of the viewers no, but

606
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:00,400
like there used to be a show to came out

607
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,079
and like nine these other leap called street schecks basically

608
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,079
like actually like big muscly dudes with giant shark kads,

609
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:10,880
and that's what it looked like to me. But it

610
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,320
was a wolf and he's he had really like really

611
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:20,559
pointy teeth, and it had really big like his face

612
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:25,760
was almost like like I'm not gonna say German shepherd

613
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,679
because it was fluffyir and like what the German shepherd's

614
00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:32,079
face would be. It's the same shape as it and

615
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,920
like almost same like same general structure. I would say,

616
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:39,639
but its ears. Its ears were like ad normally loan

617
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:44,159
and really pointy and had these like little tussles at

618
00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:48,599
the end of the years. I almost looked like if

619
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:51,559
you look at a picture of a hour glass, almost

620
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:54,119
looked like his ears had like I don't know how

621
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:55,960
to explain, there's like little bits on the ends of

622
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,519
his ears.

623
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: It was kind of weird, weird, but that's what I

624
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:00,280
got out of it.

625
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: When I've seen him, Like i'd like I got a

626
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,320
good view, but it didn't at the same time because

627
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,599
I actually seen him. But as soon as he stood

628
00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:10,440
up and put his arm on the corner of the house,

629
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,760
it made I don't know if the noise came from

630
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,639
it or the house, because when it stood up, it

631
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,000
laid its hand on it on the house, and it

632
00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:24,559
made a really loud, creaky noise. I don't know, I

633
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,960
think because this thing was like had had to be

634
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,079
like at least seven or eight feet hole, and it

635
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:34,599
looked like it weighed a lot, so I'm thinking the

636
00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:37,199
corner of the house a lot of pressure went down

637
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,840
it and it made a really loud like cracking, like

638
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,239
snapping sound.

639
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,119
Speaker 3: And when that happened, the.

640
00:36:43,199 --> 00:36:45,199
Speaker 1: Light came on and the inside of the house, and

641
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,880
I guess whoever was in there, I don't know who

642
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,480
lived there, woke up and they turned the light on,

643
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:51,440
and when that happened, it looked and then as soon

644
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,719
as it looked at that, it was just gone. As

645
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,199
soon as that was it. But I actually skipped the

646
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,039
parrot ahead of myself a bit. There was a time

647
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:06,559
before that when the window started tapping started in Gander.

648
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: I seen him once before. I've only ever seen him

649
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,119
three times.

650
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: The time that I just explained was the third and

651
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:17,360
final time. The second time was we were getting the

652
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,559
tapping sound and I got really mad and I went

653
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,239
out to check. And when I went out and checked,

654
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,280
there was nothing in the back by the windows, and

655
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,960
so I went to go back in, but I heard

656
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,800
branches breaking behind me or something.

657
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,519
Speaker 3: And this was before I seen him that last time.

658
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: I was just telling you guys about when I went

659
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,360
to look, he was standing straight up. At this time,

660
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,840
I didn't compare with Wolf or anything, because I didn't

661
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,000
see at the head or anything like that. When I looked,

662
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,920
all I seen was a seminary foot doll figgure with

663
00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:52,480
a big, long, white fluffy tail. It's almost like a

664
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:56,440
fox's tail, like a big, long, fluffy tail. Anyways, its

665
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,239
just locked into the bush and it just disappeared. That's

666
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,400
my second time. I've only seen it pretty hot. But

667
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,360
after that experience that she's seen it and even our

668
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,760
kids seen it too, right, So I had enough of

669
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,480
it at that point, I said, no, I'm not doing

670
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,719
this no more. We're going back pity Harper. It wasn't

671
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,519
very long. I think it was probably two or three

672
00:38:16,559 --> 00:38:21,480
weeks later. We so I did come back home. I

673
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:24,679
had a claim out there. I sold my claim. I

674
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,800
didn't want had nothing to do with the woods really

675
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:33,480
affected me, like, like I tell people, like mom my,

676
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:35,920
mom says to me all the time, how can you're

677
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,119
not doing your thing no more? Hope you're not talking

678
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:41,679
about your rocks and all that. I don't have no

679
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,599
enjoy that, And they're like, I can't, like right now,

680
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,760
I go up to go do it, and it's like

681
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,239
any little noise, any little noise on on edge. Right.

682
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,480
So we moved back home, and we weren't home very

683
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:02,639
long and tepping started again after a little while, and

684
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,159
I guess she just got sick of it, and she

685
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,199
blamed me for it all and because so I guess

686
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:11,039
she thought that, like, you know, me paying attention to

687
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:13,480
too much, it's cos of it or something.

688
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,599
Speaker 3: We broke up because of it.

689
00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: Anyways, So I was living at home, this is about

690
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,920
two years ago now, a year and a half ago,

691
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,079
two years maybe, and uh, I've never seen it since

692
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:32,599
that night and gander and moved home. And when I

693
00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:36,760
was home, I would started getting to pepping on the

694
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,719
windows at this point done like still happening to this day.

695
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,119
But I'll be come accustomed to it, right, So like

696
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:47,280
sometimes i'd be doing my thing and it could be happening,

697
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,760
and I'm at the point now I don't even hear it,

698
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,840
like come accustomed to it, right. But I started getting

699
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,639
whistles really early in the morning, like four five o'clock

700
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:04,559
in the morning, start getting whistles, and like had to

701
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:08,960
be outside, like my bedroom had to be because every time,

702
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:12,079
like my windows are closed and I sleep, I sleep

703
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:15,559
with my windows closed, even if it's warm. But it

704
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:19,199
woke me up, and it's like I can try to

705
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,440
make the sound. It almost sounds like a human almost

706
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,079
what I knows is not a human. It's nobody going

707
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:25,000
to be up at four o'clock in the morning, whistling

708
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:29,199
outside my window and anyway, it's just like it goes

709
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:36,360
like a it's like a it's like somebody trying to

710
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,360
get your attention. I can't whistle for the late in

711
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,280
these area goes, but it sounds like it's coming like

712
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,639
sometimes it comes from the front, sometimes it sounds like

713
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:45,559
it's coming from the back.

714
00:40:46,559 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: But dog, it's hard to explain.

715
00:40:49,559 --> 00:40:52,559
Speaker 1: It sounds it's almost like it's loud when it wakes

716
00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:54,599
me up, And as soon as the closer I gets

717
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:57,599
to the door, it gets quieter, but soon when it

718
00:40:57,639 --> 00:40:59,000
gets to the door gets louder.

719
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: It's hard to explain.

720
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,159
Speaker 1: But the only feeling I get from it is it's

721
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,880
trying to get me out, so trying to get me

722
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,079
to go outside. And that's what started freaking me out

723
00:41:10,119 --> 00:41:12,960
a little bit. And that only happened to me like

724
00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:18,039
since then, probably a handful of dozen times, probably like

725
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,360
six or seven times, probably maybe a dozen times probably,

726
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:28,519
But uh, the reason I actually got in contact with

727
00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:35,679
Vick here lately, I've never had a a counter or

728
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,559
experience or anything like that in my hometown. And I've

729
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:42,559
always figured it was too densely like I wouldn't say

730
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:45,000
dense I think there's only like eight hundred people, probably

731
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,880
not even down here, and I just figured where all

732
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,079
the houses were so close together or don't make it

733
00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:57,000
could happen. But uh, there's a path I use because

734
00:41:57,039 --> 00:42:00,920
my mom. My mom has cancer and be sick, and

735
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,000
I had to come up and oper with it. And

736
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:07,840
I come up in the morning. So I usually leave

737
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,599
around six thirty in the morning, come up in the

738
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:11,400
morning and give her a hand with stuff like go

739
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:13,920
go from my wax, my exercise for the morning.

740
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: And it usually does the same thing in the evenings.

741
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: And here lately every day I go up, I get

742
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,760
about halfway up. Now this path, I think it's like

743
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,400
all pity Harbor. It's just hills. There's been like no

744
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:36,880
flat roads down here. I'll up or down and this

745
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:39,840
one hill it's like if you go Google map, it'll

746
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,360
come up as as a road, but it's not an

747
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,119
actual road. It was probably it wasn't it was the

748
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:49,760
main road down here, but that was probably one hundred

749
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,559
and twenty years ago. So this road, this path that

750
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:59,159
I takes, goes up a mountain about I'm gonna say

751
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:04,119
about point eight or point nine of a kilometer and

752
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:06,880
then the rest of it. Daughter, it's one point seven

753
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,039
kilometers long. I know that I'm that mutching. The rest

754
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:14,400
of it's downhill, right, so about halfway going up the hill.

755
00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:19,760
For about two months now, since the beginning of summer,

756
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:25,119
I've started getting a really bad smell and it smells

757
00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:31,960
like rotten fish and urine. Sometimes it smells like rotten

758
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:37,519
fish and garbage. And one time it was just straight

759
00:43:37,559 --> 00:43:40,719
off pecs. It was just it was. It was. It's gross,

760
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,199
but whatever it is. But not very long after I

761
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,480
get the smell, I start hearing something in the right

762
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,280
hand like you're walking off to be in the right

763
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,239
hand side, you're walking back down. It's left hand, so.

764
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: You're walking off.

765
00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: And I started hearing something in the woods inside me

766
00:43:57,039 --> 00:44:01,400
every single time. But it's not as big as the

767
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,480
one that I saw Ganger heard and Gander, I should say,

768
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,800
it doesn't sound as big as that. And I hadn't

769
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,199
been really gaying much attention to it until this one day.

770
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,920
I was telling Vic, how Vic, the fog is down

771
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,239
here and it could call me in like the weather.

772
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,239
Hair changes in the blink of an eye. So this

773
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,199
one morning I woke up to got ready having coffee

774
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,239
and the skill Goup mountains now, so I went to

775
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,800
check that and well, I want to do that, and

776
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,960
I left nothing nothing, nothing happened, I locked up. I

777
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,960
don't even think I smelled anything that day and the

778
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:45,800
way up. But uh, well fast forward it. This is

779
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,079
a bit prior to explain because two other people seen

780
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:55,280
what I would think they seen something, and I seen something,

781
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,199
but I can't explain what I seen. They can kind

782
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,880
of explain what they see, but I'll try to explain

783
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,119
it the best I can. So when I left, I

784
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:06,760
didn't find this out until I got back later that night.

785
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:11,320
My neighbor, she lives above me. She's from the Mainland,

786
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,800
so she's after seeing big cats like cougar before we

787
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,039
got no cougar's here at all, right, So when I

788
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:22,239
was coming home that night, she stopped me and she said, Adam,

789
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,280
did you see that when you're left this morning?

790
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 3: I was like, did you see what?

791
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: And I got this really old tree in my backyard

792
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,159
and it got to be every bit of one hundred

793
00:45:32,199 --> 00:45:34,199
and fifty if not more feet high, and it's just

794
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:40,519
this one tree. And she said, this big muscly cat,

795
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:43,880
a big black muscly cat, and she said it was

796
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:49,039
like longer than I am. Tal walked down the tree

797
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:50,880
and I said, what do you mean it walked down

798
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,719
the tree and crawled down the tree. She said, no,

799
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,079
it didn't crawl down the tree. It walked down the

800
00:45:56,119 --> 00:46:00,920
tree like you picture of an animal walking on background.

801
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,800
He said, that's what that did, went down the tree.

802
00:46:06,039 --> 00:46:08,480
And when I asked her what color was she said

803
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,480
it was black. And she said it was a black cougar.

804
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,039
And I said, do you mean a black cougar? So

805
00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:17,480
we got no cougar's new and we got no black ones.

806
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,960
We definitely don't want to have no black ones, right,

807
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,159
So that kind of startled me. Earlier that day when

808
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,320
I left to come back home, Like I was telling

809
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,159
you guys, the fog can come in here pretty quick.

810
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,440
So I made I was up there maybe two hours

811
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,000
and an hour, hour and a half maybe When I

812
00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:42,320
learned to leave, the fog was bad. It was so

813
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,360
bad I could not see. If I put my hand

814
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,280
out as far as I could, I couldn't see my hand.

815
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:51,559
Like when I got up on top of the hill

816
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:54,360
to go back down the path. The path is only

817
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,559
about ten feet wide, I couldn't see on each side

818
00:46:56,559 --> 00:47:00,000
of the path now. Like I said earlier, the past

819
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,679
takes about twenty minutes. Fifteen minutes for me, I got

820
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,039
onto it. I don't think I was into it, not

821
00:47:08,119 --> 00:47:14,159
even five minutes and I seen like it just like

822
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,559
it slowly came in the vision and in the middle

823
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:24,480
of a path was just black, fuzzy something. After I

824
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,159
got off the phone with Vic the other day, I

825
00:47:26,159 --> 00:47:28,519
wracked my brain. I sat down and tried to think

826
00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:30,960
about it and tried to think about what I saw.

827
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,960
And at the time I was like, I've seen a

828
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,280
black bear. That's in my mind at the time, is

829
00:47:36,559 --> 00:47:39,159
a black bear cub because I know it wasn't the

830
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,199
side of a full wound, but it wasn't the size

831
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,079
of it wasn't exactly decide of the cub either, right like,

832
00:47:46,559 --> 00:47:50,519
and it was really it was blurry looking to me.

833
00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:52,559
I don't know if it was the fog or what.

834
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,960
It was blurry looking to me, so I couldn't really

835
00:47:56,159 --> 00:47:57,880
I didn't get any features. I don't know. It was

836
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,440
a black mass standing. I wouldn't stand it was on

837
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,079
it was on force at this time, but didn't move

838
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,440
the whole time. I couldn't see its head to see

839
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,679
if it was looking at me or not. But the

840
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,159
whole time I was watching it, it didn't move so

841
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,360
like to me, that's if it was a black bear,

842
00:48:19,039 --> 00:48:22,280
it would have been odd behavior for him because it

843
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,440
either come towards me or run for me. I wonder,

844
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:31,159
you're not just going to stand there. But like I said,

845
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:34,239
it took me five minutes to get when I witnessed that.

846
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 3: I was so scared at the time because I wasn't

847
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,320
sure what I was seeing.

848
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:40,159
Speaker 1: Like if it was a club, I was like, okay, well,

849
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,239
first thing came my mind was mammo bear. So instead

850
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,559
of turned around and walking straight out, I decided slowly

851
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:51,679
back out, and my head was on the swivel the

852
00:48:51,679 --> 00:48:55,079
whole way out until that thing went out of my vision.

853
00:48:55,679 --> 00:48:57,480
And then I got on the road and off the

854
00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:02,679
roadway home. But after I got home, and after my

855
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,800
neighbor told me what she had seen the next morning

856
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,760
my mom, I came back up to help out my

857
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,440
mom again. And the next morning she told me she

858
00:49:14,559 --> 00:49:17,159
was up in the middle of the night for some

859
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,119
fresh air, and she seemed what she explained to me

860
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,480
was she couldn't tell if it was a dog or

861
00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:32,719
a big cat, but she said it's sitting down, its

862
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,360
head would have been to the bottom of my neck

863
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:40,400
or the bottom of my chin. And I'm five foot eight,

864
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,360
so that's sitting down. It's pretty big, but it still

865
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,880
wouldn't have been as big as the one that I

866
00:49:50,159 --> 00:49:52,840
after that day, my kids used to walk that path

867
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,639
and go back and forth from their friends. I thought,

868
00:49:55,679 --> 00:49:58,960
I completely stop my kids from using that path, and

869
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,639
I don't. Le's like, I have to try not to

870
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,760
use the path as much as I can, but I

871
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,760
think it's a juve. And a while and a couple

872
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,719
of nights ago, I'm getting a lot of work done

873
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,440
on the place that I'm living down during new windows

874
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,360
and doors put in, and uh, that was about five

875
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,480
days ago, maybe now. And so I went out after

876
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:26,519
my back windows got replaced and they're all missy from

877
00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:29,119
the from the guys working and stuff. So I went

878
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:31,199
out cleaning my windows because I was very proud of

879
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,599
my new windows, made sure they're all sparkally clean. And

880
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,679
that night I was making supper or whatever, getting supper.

881
00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:43,079
I think I think it was like blues birthday, my

882
00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:45,360
dog Blue. I think it was his birthday actually went

883
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,719
because we were making hamburgers and we went out to

884
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,000
eat it, and I heard from the kitchen the kitchen window,

885
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:58,480
I heard tettet test, but it kept on tappen and

886
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:00,840
it didn't stop like it stop. But it was a

887
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,519
lot longer than what it usually is. And I don't

888
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:06,920
know if it's because the new windows or because, like

889
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,559
I noticed myself, I'm much clearer there. If they were,

890
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,599
my whole windows were really dirty. But well, that wouldn't

891
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:16,400
say dirty, it's just old. I think it's like a cloudiness.

892
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,880
To him, it was really clear and shiney. So I

893
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,760
don't know if it was like seeing itself and it's

894
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,159
like touching, it's like seeing its reflection or something. But uh.

895
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,559
The next morning, I woke up there and the guys

896
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:30,679
had all the scaffolding out in the front of the house.

897
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:32,800
They moved it out to the front at this point,

898
00:51:33,159 --> 00:51:34,719
and I went to let my dog out for his

899
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,360
morning pee or whatever.

900
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 3: And when I did, I checked the window.

901
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: I was checked the back, just going sure nothing's out there.

902
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,440
And when I did, there was a print on my window.

903
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,400
And it wasn't like a full line like handprint. I

904
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,239
think it's three digits and it was at the top

905
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,079
of my window. Like I said, to you guys earlier

906
00:51:55,079 --> 00:51:59,119
when I was explaining where the window was in my bedroom.

907
00:51:59,159 --> 00:52:01,639
It's same with all windows of my pramtments are about

908
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,920
five feet up from the bottom of the floor and

909
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,800
almost rested way up the wall.

910
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 3: There's pretty big windows.

911
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: But in order for an animal that I think, or

912
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,840
a creature that I think is the size that these guys,

913
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,519
you would have to kneel down to looking right. So

914
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:25,480
I'm thinking where the print is on top of my window,

915
00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:27,400
not the bottom of the middle or anywhere like that.

916
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,440
I think he knelt down and rest of his hand

917
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:33,320
on the top of my window, and he used these

918
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,880
other hand attack. Now that's just what I'm getting from it.

919
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:44,639
But yeah, that's my my encounters. Like I said, I've

920
00:52:44,639 --> 00:52:47,920
only seen him three times in eleven years. But I

921
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,079
have a hard time remembering all the little things because

922
00:52:51,079 --> 00:52:54,639
there's like so many little things that happens. Like I

923
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:56,760
don't know if I mentioned it the other day when

924
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,559
we did the phone interview. Before me and my ex

925
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:02,559
broke up let me moved back here, we would get

926
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:05,639
birds like I don't know if they were gifts or something,

927
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:10,679
but somebody wouldn't like they're dead obviously, but they weren't like,

928
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,440
you know, like somebody like Kuli bird.

929
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,519
Speaker 3: He looked like you were dad.

930
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like somebody carefully had him in her hand

931
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,960
and just laying them on my backsteps. That happened. That

932
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,840
only happened like a couple of times. But that stopped

933
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:31,440
as well. And uh well, a couple of years ago

934
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,639
we had a lot of wildlife down here too, And

935
00:53:34,199 --> 00:53:36,800
like the coyotes, we had a bunch of coyotes that

936
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:41,519
were down here. They're all gone now, they're disappeared. Yeah,

937
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,679
I had, I know of three foxes that I used

938
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,840
to see daily. I had one that I always used

939
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,000
to sit on my corner in my yard. I mean

940
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,719
I used to see him every other day. He hadn't

941
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,639
seen him. And there's two more, and one that you

942
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,519
see on the path, I haven't seen him no more.

943
00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:01,000
And there's one up on mount I haven't seen him no more.

944
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,079
And what else gone? Trouse? There's a lot of grouse here.

945
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,480
There's no grouse down here no more. I haven't seen

946
00:54:08,519 --> 00:54:13,199
any seen rabbits, any small animals. There's none around. But

947
00:54:14,039 --> 00:54:18,440
when I'm having I did notice, when I'm having like

948
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,800
more than like two or three window taps a week.

949
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:28,960
That's when you see like moose running through the community

950
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,079
and stuff like that. It's like the the moose know

951
00:54:35,519 --> 00:54:38,039
that these things won't follow them into town because they're

952
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:38,760
going to get.

953
00:54:38,599 --> 00:54:41,199
Speaker 3: It's so weird once you like connect the dots.

954
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I could just be that

955
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,000
overthinking it. But that's why I thought, like these things

956
00:54:47,039 --> 00:54:50,760
when they're around the moose that's scared of them, they're

957
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,000
willing to just walk.

958
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 3: Through the town. Not like moose cares about a person anyways.

959
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: But it's not very often like a moose just goes

960
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,159
straight up block in the middle of your town, you

961
00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:02,559
know what I mean. But yeah, that's one. That's everything

962
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:06,960
I got. I hope it it helps somebody out there.

963
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,760
I know a couple of year Gud's stories help me out.

964
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,239
So thank you very much for listing.

965
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 2: Oh you're welcome. Yeah, that is quite a bit. Those

966
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,519
are a lot of experiences. I'll tell you what, Adam,

967
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:23,199
we're out of time tonight, but would be up for

968
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,039
coming back Friday night to do a live stream so

969
00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:29,000
I could ask you a bunch of questions about your experiences,

970
00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:31,880
and that way also you could feel some questions from

971
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,400
the listeners and the live chat.

972
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:37,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I would one hundred percent be down for that.

973
00:55:38,199 --> 00:55:41,119
Speaker 2: Oh good. Well if that's the case, then yeah, we'll

974
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,320
just put the questions on hold until then and we'll

975
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,639
have you come back so we can do that. But

976
00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:49,199
in the meantime, thanks again so much for coming on

977
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,199
and doing this in the first place. I really appreciate it.

978
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 3: You're very welcome, no problem.

979
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,559
Speaker 1: I'd like to say thank you very much too, because

980
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,000
just takes a huge weight off my chest. It's like

981
00:56:02,079 --> 00:56:04,679
I felt for long squall, I couldn't tell anybody about it,

982
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,480
and I want to let everybody know that it's okay

983
00:56:08,519 --> 00:56:12,039
to talk about these things and they are out there,

984
00:56:12,119 --> 00:56:15,400
so stay safe and be careful to everybody.

985
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 2: You know, when you have experiences like this with dog men,

986
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,000
but you can't talk about these experiences you've had. Like

987
00:56:22,039 --> 00:56:24,679
I've said before several times, it's like a prison with

988
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,360
no walls. It's just not a good feeling at all.

989
00:56:27,519 --> 00:56:29,599
So I'm just glad to be able to provide a

990
00:56:29,639 --> 00:56:31,639
way for you to put these experiences out there and

991
00:56:31,679 --> 00:56:32,440
talk about them.

992
00:56:33,559 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm glad there's a somewhere to go with it,

993
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,840
