Speaker 1: At a book in.
Speaker 2: Tonight's guest is Adam. Adam, Welcome to the show. Hello Vic,
Speaker 2: how are you getting things done? As long as I
Speaker 2: can say that, then it can't be too bad. How
Speaker 2: about yourself, I'm doing fine. Lake is good well, as
Speaker 2: long as you can say that, that's a good thing. Adam,
Speaker 2: please give us a brief bio in yourself.
Speaker 3: I'm thirty four years old.
Speaker 1: I am from the Island Province of Newfoundland, Canada. I
Speaker 1: do prospecting for a living, so I spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time in the woods, so I like go with him.
Speaker 1: It's only ever me and my dog, and we go
Speaker 1: for tens of kilometers out sometimes, and I love spending
Speaker 1: time in the nature and being by myself in nature
Speaker 1: and everything about it. Really, i had two kids thirteens now,
Speaker 1: and I've been moving around all over the island the best,
Speaker 1: I would say, fifteen years, just bouncing around from place
Speaker 1: to place depending on where I'm prospecting at the time.
Speaker 3: So I've seen a lot of the island.
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of nature and stuff, so nothing
Speaker 1: really ever surprises me with the place I'm from. The
Speaker 1: area i'm from is all Pity Harbor and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of old history here. We were one of the
Speaker 1: first Don't settlements in all North America. It was settled
Speaker 1: in sixteen hundreds roughly, and we have a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff that I never really bade attention before until I've
Speaker 1: had my first encounter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my bio.
Speaker 2: It's funny, Like I told you the first time we spoke,
Speaker 2: even your new places are older than our old places.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, well they're pretty old. Everything's all out
Speaker 1: this way.
Speaker 2: Well, that just means a lot of good history. You
Speaker 2: had your first dog me an encounter about ten or
Speaker 2: eleven years ago, Adam in a town called tor Bay
Speaker 2: in Newfoundland.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about the place.
Speaker 1: It's out in a road called Valeine Line, And when
Speaker 1: I first moved there, it was starting to get developed.
Speaker 1: The road is pretty barren, like say, probably even two
Speaker 1: years prior before I moved to the area. Just picture
Speaker 1: our road cutting straight through the woods, and that is
Speaker 1: what it is, and just people started putting houses on it.
Speaker 1: And there was a subdivision getting built when my first
Speaker 1: encounter happened. So I'm not entirely sure that had something
Speaker 1: to do with deciding, but it's quite a place like
Speaker 1: there's a place that like you would often see moose,
Speaker 1: Like it's in the middle of everything. So it wasn't
Speaker 1: strange to see a moose out that way?
Speaker 2: Is it that way? Across all of Newfoundland were pretty
Speaker 2: much you got outside and at any time you could
Speaker 2: almost bump into a moose or or only certain areas
Speaker 2: of Newfoundland.
Speaker 1: Certain areas I would say, the area that I'm in
Speaker 1: right now, pity, however, it's it's really hilly, so like
Speaker 1: unless you're up on top of the hills, up further
Speaker 1: away from the ocean, your chances are seeing like a
Speaker 1: moose or something you might but not usually in the
Speaker 1: general area that I'm in now, like, but out towards
Speaker 1: Bottling Line that way where I had my first encounter.
Speaker 1: Was it's very like like you're in the middle of
Speaker 1: nowhere up that way. But in Pitty Harbor, it's a
Speaker 1: small nick community, so like everybody knows everybody, and all
Speaker 1: the houses are like bunched together.
Speaker 3: But there is a lot of wilderness down here.
Speaker 1: I will say that, like it's just like if you
Speaker 1: take a bunch of houses and put them in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, and then that's how you get our communities,
Speaker 1: and there's like nothing missing between the communities, so it's
Speaker 1: pretty dea slate place.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a great dogman habitat to me, no wonder.
Speaker 2: After you had that first encounter, it seemed like it
Speaker 2: was almost like the wheel came off. You started to
Speaker 2: have experience after experience with dog men. Do you think
Speaker 2: you were marked somehow?
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I think I might have,
Speaker 1: like without like knowing it at the time, like because
Speaker 1: I've been out in the wood since, like I've been
Speaker 1: fourteen years old, like I said, I'm thirty four now,
Speaker 1: so a long in the woods, and I think like
Speaker 1: I might have like did something or I might have
Speaker 1: upset him in his natural place out when I was
Speaker 1: out there doing something like it could have been like
Speaker 1: I go when I prospect, like I go break up minerals,
Speaker 1: and if I need to get a specimen tested in
Speaker 1: the lab, I had to take something back with me.
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure if it was, like.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it could be something as simple as
Speaker 1: me taking a rock that blind to him. It could
Speaker 1: have been something to blind to him, or I could
Speaker 1: have just did something out one day in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere. But I know that.
Speaker 3: There's something to it because ever since that day it's
Speaker 3: been constant, right like.
Speaker 1: It's been. It's a bit unnerving because I don't know
Speaker 1: what I did to start at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll bet it has been a nerving It's been
Speaker 2: one experience after the next. Unfortunately, you said that you're
Speaker 2: a prospector what do you prospect for?
Speaker 1: In?
Speaker 2: How long have you done that?
Speaker 1: I've been prospecting now too well career eras since I
Speaker 1: was I'm going to say twenty three. I've been rock
Speaker 1: counting as a hobby since I was a kid. Now
Speaker 1: I've only started getting into it like financially, like I said,
Speaker 1: since twenty.
Speaker 3: Probably twenty three or twenty like twenty two or.
Speaker 1: Twenty three, I think I was, and I started actually
Speaker 1: doing it to make money.
Speaker 3: I'm here in New Finland. Area I'm in now.
Speaker 1: Is not my favorite area for it because I'm only
Speaker 1: getting jasper agates, different type of heel and stones basically
Speaker 1: right it's coming in.
Speaker 3: It's a glacial till site.
Speaker 1: I got to claim on down here, but in Gander
Speaker 1: I was working goal claims. We get gold. It comes
Speaker 1: up from the ground in in courts veins, so it's
Speaker 1: nothing like you see on TV, like go to the
Speaker 1: river and paying for gold or anything like that. Everything
Speaker 1: you do about that way, you gotta have every equipment,
Speaker 1: like everything you're using rosas and drills and taking core
Speaker 1: samples and stuff like that. There's a really a really
Speaker 1: big goal boom in a central Newfoundland right now, Well.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a lot of really hard work. How
Speaker 2: hard is it for you to do that kind of
Speaker 2: work though? Knowing what could be watching you at any
Speaker 2: time from the shadows.
Speaker 1: It's affected me to the point right now, Like before
Speaker 1: I had this encounter, like my first, well it wasn't
Speaker 1: my first. It was the second one that really did
Speaker 1: it for me. But like I never thought of nothing
Speaker 1: about it after my very first one, and I just
Speaker 1: used to do my own thing.
Speaker 3: So I just go do my own thing. The only
Speaker 3: thing I ever really worried about is.
Speaker 1: Moose, because we have moose here, and we have black beer,
Speaker 1: some links in, some Bbcat and every now and again
Speaker 1: a calio. Nothing really big that I'm scared of. Scared of,
Speaker 1: right like more scared of than moose than anything else.
Speaker 1: And I always took my dog with me. Dog's always
Speaker 1: been with me, because you're not allowed to use fire
Speaker 1: armble unless you're a hunter, you're not allowed to have
Speaker 1: a fire answer, So I don't do any hunting. So
Speaker 1: I only ever took beer, mace or something with me
Speaker 1: like that. But I never really thought about it until
Speaker 1: my second encounter, and after that, I do not go
Speaker 1: more than like two kilometers out, Like there's a cut
Speaker 1: off point for me now, whereas like if that can
Speaker 1: do bad happen down too far away? Well, saying that,
Speaker 1: I always have a list before I leave, I have
Speaker 1: a checklist to like different type of gear I take
Speaker 1: with me. I take satellite phoneme or something like that.
Speaker 1: I take food, I take extra food, I take brain gear.
Speaker 1: I look at the weather before I leave. I tell
Speaker 1: people where I'm going and when to expect me back,
Speaker 1: and if I'm not back at a certain time then
Speaker 1: to do that. But like I said, ever since the
Speaker 1: second encounter, it hasn't been the same. I haven't been
Speaker 1: doing what I love to do anymore, right, so it's
Speaker 1: definitely affected me.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure these experiences have. Yeah, that's totally normal.
Speaker 2: So sorry to hear that's the key though. All right, Adam,
Speaker 2: you've got a lot to tell us about. Please tell
Speaker 2: us about your encounters. Now give us ever last detail
Speaker 2: that comes to mind.
Speaker 1: My first encounter took place about ten or eleven years
Speaker 1: ago and Bawlin Line. It was i would say middle
Speaker 1: of the day. I was out on a patio having
Speaker 1: a cigarette. It's a bad habit, but I was out
Speaker 1: having cigarette and I was just doing my thing, and
Speaker 1: I was looking down the driveway. I had a straight
Speaker 1: straight down the driveway. I would say, it's about fifty
Speaker 1: meters down the driveway too.
Speaker 3: Across the road and the woods here is really.
Speaker 1: Thick, like if something was standing in like three feet
Speaker 1: behind the woodline, you wouldn't see it. But there was
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how long with stretch, but there's a
Speaker 1: gap between the woodline across the road to my driveway.
Speaker 1: And I was looking down there and a moose, a big,
Speaker 1: full grown bull moose, I think, probably the biggest one
Speaker 1: I ever seen. It came running and I'm going to
Speaker 1: guess it like from the size of the area that
Speaker 1: ran through. It might have took twenty steps maybe till
Speaker 1: it was gone. But like I was thinking myself at
Speaker 1: the time, it's strange because we like, why is it running?
Speaker 1: I never seen a moose running like that before in
Speaker 1: my life unless there was a car or something. But
Speaker 1: there's no cars. And then like I was, I never
Speaker 1: had the thought process. And I seen a big eat
Speaker 1: mass and it leaked from one end, but from one
Speaker 1: the beginning of the meadow to the opposite side. After
Speaker 1: the moose. It didn't touch the ground, not once. And
Speaker 1: like I was telling Vick, I didn't see no. I
Speaker 1: didn't see the front or the rare pause. I saw
Speaker 1: a head and a tail. The head I couldn't like,
Speaker 1: like I said, it happened that fast. I could not
Speaker 1: pick out any details I've seen a head. The head
Speaker 1: was really big, I all that, and it looked unproportionalized,
Speaker 1: like the head from the rest of its body.
Speaker 3: And it had a really long, fluffy tail.
Speaker 1: And the animal was completely white, like I've never seen
Speaker 1: a wild animal that was white be so clean.
Speaker 3: But like it happened in a blink of and eye.
Speaker 1: If I had to turn my head to look at
Speaker 1: my door behind me and look back, I wouldn't even unnoticed.
Speaker 1: After that sighting, I stayed around on my front deck
Speaker 1: and waged it around because I was going to take
Speaker 1: a picture of it.
Speaker 3: And it never ever did come back.
Speaker 1: So it was later that night we were getting ready
Speaker 1: to go to bed, or we might have been been
Speaker 1: in bit. We're lying down or something, me and my
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend at the time, and we started getting window
Speaker 1: tapping and it was like tat tat tat, and then
Speaker 1: like we thought somebody was out there, so we went
Speaker 1: to look.
Speaker 3: We went to look out one window.
Speaker 1: And this is funny because it happened to us like
Speaker 1: it was almost like this plane shad trick Simons. We'd
Speaker 1: look out one window and the window opposite side of
Speaker 1: the house we would get a tap. And at the time,
Speaker 1: we did not we did not correlate the what I
Speaker 1: seen that day with the window tapping. I've never I've
Speaker 1: never heard anything about a dog man or I've never
Speaker 1: even heard anybody talk about a bigfoot of anything like that.
Speaker 1: I'm in my province, so that that thought was in
Speaker 1: the back of my mind, like wasn't even there. So, uh,
Speaker 1: the window tapping continued on and off for I would
Speaker 1: say the whole time we were there.
Speaker 3: It wasn't every night thing.
Speaker 1: It was like it happened one night and then two
Speaker 1: or three nights after that happened again. It was always
Speaker 1: random different times at the night too. Sometimes it would
Speaker 1: be in the middle of the night and away because
Speaker 1: but it was always like you go check one window,
Speaker 1: and like I said, you hear it on the opposite
Speaker 1: in the house, so as you go check it.
Speaker 3: But that continued the whole time we were there. So
Speaker 3: we moved.
Speaker 1: I had a family member back home back in Petty
Speaker 1: Harbor gets sick, so I wanted to move back home
Speaker 1: and help take care of them. And when I moved back,
Speaker 1: we're live in Okay, so Pitty However, my hometown Pitty Horever.
Speaker 3: It's actually college. Full name is Pitty Harbor.
Speaker 1: Magis the reason it is called that is there's a
Speaker 1: hill in between the community from one in the community to.
Speaker 3: Where I live.
Speaker 1: Say, my mom lives in the Pity Harbor section and
Speaker 1: I live in the max Co section. I'd never lived
Speaker 1: down in that section before in my life, and we
Speaker 1: were pretty happy to be back home. And we were
Speaker 1: there for a while. We never got no taps, not
Speaker 1: for a while, and then I think one random night
Speaker 1: again started getting window taps. And at the time still
Speaker 1: I didn't put two and two together. And this one
Speaker 1: night I can remember it was one of one of
Speaker 1: the scarier things that happened to me. Uh, me and
Speaker 1: my ex girlfriend. We were lying down to sleep where
Speaker 1: we were in bit of sleep, and I got a
Speaker 1: little beagle. His name is Blue, and he don't he's
Speaker 1: not really like a growly type of dog, and I've
Speaker 1: never heard him growl really a couple of times. This
Speaker 1: one night he woke us up and he was growling,
Speaker 1: and he's grown back. And the place that we were
Speaker 1: living I'm still living in like the.
Speaker 3: Basement half of the house.
Speaker 1: So my bed is up against the wall, but the
Speaker 1: window is i'd say, halfway up the wall, so like
Speaker 1: you're it was behind us. So we woke up and
Speaker 1: he was groundling, but he was grounding looking at us,
Speaker 1: and we were like, he's looking at us, grounding, And
Speaker 1: then we realized he was groundling at something behind us
Speaker 1: in the window, and both of us i think, looked
Speaker 1: at the same time, and we all we can come
Speaker 1: out of it. When we stopped to talk about it afterwards.
Speaker 1: Was a bit like my window is probably four fat
Speaker 1: wide and four feet long, probably say, and this head
Speaker 1: was almost a whole circle, like the whole window almost
Speaker 1: it came in almost like a bluff charge, but I'm
Speaker 1: thinking it has pretty good reflexes because it hit my window.
Speaker 1: It hit my window, and I thought it was common
Speaker 1: through the window, but it's nosehated. When it's nose d
Speaker 1: it backed up and it was almost like a snake strike.
Speaker 1: It happened that fast. It was like it if you
Speaker 1: blink it would miss it. And that was just gone.
Speaker 1: So that experience scared us pretty bad. I took a
Speaker 1: lot convincing not to move out of there. To my
Speaker 1: ex we ended up switching. Well, my place got two bedrooms,
Speaker 1: one in the front, one in the back, so we're
Speaker 1: staying where our bedroom was in the back of the house.
Speaker 1: Next morning we moved to the front of the house.
Speaker 1: Needs to stay and and it's just that was the
Speaker 1: first time I had an experience in pity. However, now
Speaker 1: the window tapping continued, continued the whole time. Were still
Speaker 1: to day. I still don't know what's up with the
Speaker 1: window tapping, but I would say, well, five years ago,
Speaker 1: I got a really good job offer to go work
Speaker 1: out go on mine in Ganner, And while I was
Speaker 1: out there, I was going to try to get a claimmate,
Speaker 1: steak a claim for myself, and I ended up doing
Speaker 1: that and it.
Speaker 3: Was going good.
Speaker 1: It was like everything was going perfect for us for
Speaker 1: a while, and like we never had no tap thing,
Speaker 1: because I'll be like we were renting the apartment I
Speaker 1: had in pity however, and still renting one out of
Speaker 1: Gander so I can come back and forth and help
Speaker 1: my sick family member. So I was out there about
Speaker 1: five months now, and just one morning I woke up
Speaker 1: and I was pretty bored. I had nothing to do.
Speaker 1: I'd say it was probably like six thirty or something
Speaker 1: when I woke up, and I already had to date
Speaker 1: it for yuh. Because whenever I go to go prospect
Speaker 1: and all always the day before go online American on
Speaker 1: the mad shirt. Well, first of I'll searching on a
Speaker 1: map find a good area. I uses Google Maps mixed
Speaker 1: with topographical maps to find good areas a prospect. So
Speaker 1: I found this one area and it was at the
Speaker 1: bottom of a hill an old ski resort. The ski
Speaker 1: resort was banded, I believe in the eighties. So I
Speaker 1: talked to one of the locals out there and he
Speaker 1: said it closed down in the eighties. So that's all
Speaker 1: I understand. Scne not from the areas about five hour
Speaker 1: drive from here. So this one morning I got off
Speaker 1: and I got ready and got on my gear together.
Speaker 1: And my house was the one that I was staying
Speaker 1: at the time in Gander, was right next to a
Speaker 1: highway at four Lane Highway, and the area that I
Speaker 1: had planned on prospect was across the Hollyway. In about
Speaker 1: five minute walk up the street, up the highway and
Speaker 1: you would hit a tourist information booth.
Speaker 3: A tourist information booth was in.
Speaker 1: The air general area where the ski resort lodge would
Speaker 1: have been before the tour down. So there's a gate
Speaker 1: behind the tourist informations place and the hikers and people
Speaker 1: uses all the old ski routes for hiking trails and stuff,
Speaker 1: I guess. So the area that I needed to get
Speaker 1: to was at the bottom of the hill. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how long the hill is. I should have
Speaker 1: looked up, but I think it's like two or three
Speaker 1: kilometers from top to bottom. It's not like a steep,
Speaker 1: steep hill. It's more of a long hill than anything.
Speaker 1: And the area chose down by a lake, like a
Speaker 1: big joint lake called Gander Lake. And I was down
Speaker 1: there and doing my thing like I use a rock
Speaker 1: hammer when I'm breaking rocks open, and certain rocks like
Speaker 1: you can feel when you pick them up at how
Speaker 1: heavy they are, and like you can almost tell they
Speaker 1: know I'm not going to be able to break this
Speaker 1: one open, but.
Speaker 3: You're going to try to anyways.
Speaker 1: So I had to rock and I hit a four times,
Speaker 1: and I think after the fourth time, I was like, no,
Speaker 1: not even like sometimes I'm after hitting rocks, I'm like
Speaker 1: hurting my elbows. So I'm like, now I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: lay that down. It's not worth it. So as soon
Speaker 1: as I laid it down, I heard the exact same noise,
Speaker 1: well it sounded to me the exact same noise is
Speaker 1: what I just made with the rock camer hitting the rock.
Speaker 1: It would make a high pitch ting sound like ding
Speaker 1: ding when it would hit a rock that it couldn't break.
Speaker 3: And I heard in response four taps back.
Speaker 1: And I knew at this point that I always at
Speaker 1: the Battlement Hill by myself because the parking lot there
Speaker 1: was no other hikers vehicles there, and I would have
Speaker 1: seen anybody if they had come down that area. And
Speaker 1: like I did like watch beef with shows and stuff
Speaker 1: like growing up, and I've heard like wood knocks and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but I've never heard I don't know,
Speaker 1: it could be a thing. I've never heard it like
Speaker 1: rocks getting plank together. But it sounded like rocks getting
Speaker 1: plank together, but like with a middle pin to it.
Speaker 1: And that started just startled me, right, So I turned
Speaker 1: around to look at my dog to see if he
Speaker 1: was out right. And he will always like he's actually
Speaker 1: saved me from like bobcats and stuff, not like actually
Speaker 1: foot of bobcat out, but like he'll bark and let
Speaker 1: me notice something there, and then I'll look and see
Speaker 1: about getting like, okay, thanks, I didn't know that was
Speaker 1: dear the thing. You know, we'll move on, you know,
Speaker 1: saying with moves and other stuff to help move with that.
Speaker 1: But this one time, he wasn't parking, he wasn't doing
Speaker 1: the growl and nothing. He was opposite I was faced
Speaker 1: one way, he was opposite direction of me, probably would
Speaker 1: have been the left hand, and he was just laid
Speaker 1: there and he was just crying like I've never seen
Speaker 1: him do that. It's almost like he just submitted whatever
Speaker 1: was there. I didn't want to have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it. You just you know, I'm just gonna lie
Speaker 1: down and deal with you. Solid did, and we had
Speaker 1: I heard a branch break, a really big branch. I
Speaker 1: sounded like somebody took a tree and broke it. And
Speaker 1: I said, okay, enough of this doesn't take much to
Speaker 1: scare of me. Like so I'm out of the wool.
Speaker 1: Especially you're out in the woods for so long. He
Speaker 1: knows what you hear like. You're used to the sounds right.
Speaker 1: Like stuff that I was hearing down there that morning,
Speaker 1: I was never heard before the whole time I've been
Speaker 1: out in the woods over the years. So I just said, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this. We're gonna leave.
Speaker 1: So Iron tied him as quick as I could, and
Speaker 1: we started walking up the path the way we came.
Speaker 1: It wasn't very long we were on the path. I
Speaker 1: started hearing something on the left hand side of me.
Speaker 1: And the path is only break I'm not joking with you,
Speaker 1: probably five six feet wide, if that, maybe possibly even four.
Speaker 1: It used to be wide ski trails, but they all
Speaker 1: got overgrown, I was told. But from the left hand
Speaker 1: side I was hearing walking and I would walk faster,
Speaker 1: and as I would walk faster, it got faster but
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like it was getting fast, it didn't
Speaker 1: seem like it was using any effort. And then that's
Speaker 1: when rocks started getting thrown at us, well not me,
Speaker 1: but my dog, and like not small rocks, like rocks
Speaker 1: the size of my head, and like it kept happening.
Speaker 1: So I just took off as fast as I could,
Speaker 1: and this thing, whatever it was, was on the left
Speaker 1: hand side of me. It followed me up the whole time,
Speaker 1: flicking rocks, and it didn't and it didn't like it, like,
Speaker 1: it didn't seem to stop to pick up the rocks.
Speaker 1: It's a strange thing, like when thinking I'd stopped and
Speaker 1: look for a rock to throw, noe, this thing would
Speaker 1: just followed me the whole way up and throw rocks.
Speaker 1: And it discontinued about three quarters the whole way up
Speaker 1: the up the hill and till I just about seeing
Speaker 1: the Tourist Information Center again when I remember in my
Speaker 1: mom seeing the corner of it. And as soon as
Speaker 1: I seen it, it just stopped, just instantly stopped. I
Speaker 1: never heard nothing chasing me. No more rocks got thrown,
Speaker 1: but I didn't stop. I did not stop. I kept
Speaker 1: running and I ran home and I think my girlfriend
Speaker 1: at the time, she wasn't home, so as I got home,
Speaker 1: and I had all this built up energy, like looking
Speaker 1: at the windows, like did it follow me?
Speaker 3: Like all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: And she eventually got home and I told her about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think I had a big foot experience.
Speaker 1: Not never ever heard of the dog man or anything
Speaker 1: like that. And being a normal person, you know, she's
Speaker 1: just gonna laugh and be like you, that didn't happen yet,
Speaker 1: so she didn't believe me, right, And uh, I think
Speaker 1: it was like a couple of days after that, the
Speaker 1: windows started tapping started again.
Speaker 3: And my theory with the window tapping.
Speaker 1: Is because the first time we moved, it took a
Speaker 1: little wall for the tapping to start to start up again.
Speaker 1: And the same time, just when I moved five hours away,
Speaker 1: which is a really long job, it took like months
Speaker 1: for the tapping to start. And I'm thinking the months
Speaker 1: in between or weeks, however long it was, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: that's how long it took me took them to find
Speaker 1: me again. But I'm after moving from literally Ardess, you
Speaker 1: can go east to the middle of the island, and
Speaker 1: I found me. Man, it might have took a long time,
Speaker 1: but it found me. But uh so.
Speaker 3: Uh sometime later.
Speaker 1: I have no goog with like remembered dates and stuff
Speaker 1: because I apologize. But sometime later, I was sitting down
Speaker 1: on my computer. I run a rock identification group on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Like somebody posts the rock on Facebook and I me
Speaker 1: and a couple of moderators we try to help identify
Speaker 1: through pictures and we asked them to do tests and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I was on moderating the group that morning and
Speaker 1: I had my front window opening, and it was a beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful morning man, and there was no traffic. There's nobody
Speaker 1: open this place. I lived in Gander. It was next
Speaker 1: to like, and there's not a big town at all.
Speaker 1: It was a pretty small town. But the spot that
Speaker 1: I was living in it was almost you would say,
Speaker 1: like a subdivision area, like there was houses around. But
Speaker 1: this one morning when I had I think it was
Speaker 1: a couple minutes after opening the window, I set back
Speaker 1: down the computer and I heard the most ungodly, loudest
Speaker 1: sound I ever heard in my life. It scared me
Speaker 1: so at first, like I almost fell out of the chair.
Speaker 1: It woke my my my ex up. She Bryant woke up,
Speaker 1: ran upstairs, and it continued for about five or six minutes.
Speaker 1: And I try to make the noise but I don't
Speaker 1: want to sound silly or nothing. But after like the
Speaker 1: initial scare, it sounded like it was mourning something or
Speaker 1: it was crying. It was like, it's so strange, like
Speaker 1: if you like, I've never seen a book, like we
Speaker 1: had wolves here apparently one hundred years ago, but they
Speaker 1: all got killed off. Now there's apparently there's some sightings
Speaker 1: on the west of the island. But I've never seen
Speaker 1: the whole time that ben Woods. Have never heard nothing,
Speaker 1: never seen nothing, nothing like it, Like if you see
Speaker 1: like a movie like you it makes a wolf sound
Speaker 1: like a demonic sound, and like I don't know how
Speaker 1: to explain it, that's how it sounds. But it sounded
Speaker 1: sad at the same time, like after it getting scared first,
Speaker 1: it just sounded sad. And even even my ex girlfriend
Speaker 1: she said, it sounds sad. It sounds like it's hurd.
Speaker 1: Sounds like it's hurd or it's crying or something. But
Speaker 1: I could tell where the sound was coming from. It
Speaker 1: sounded like it was coming from like let's say, like
Speaker 1: a T shape and right so like I lived on.
Speaker 3: That's hard to explain. Actually I can tell which house.
Speaker 1: It was coming from the woods behind a certain house,
Speaker 1: but the sound sounded like it was sitting in my
Speaker 1: front yard. It sounded like it's head was in my window,
Speaker 1: like yelling.
Speaker 3: That's how loud.
Speaker 1: It was like voidbrat yet like kind of inside just
Speaker 1: listening to it.
Speaker 3: So after that happened, I started going on.
Speaker 1: YouTube to see if I can find the sound I
Speaker 1: can compare it to. And it took me a while actually,
Speaker 1: and then after a while I did find a video.
Speaker 1: I think it was called Strange Noises Heard in Canadian Woods.
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's called, and it's exact same noise.
Speaker 1: And I know it's exactly the same noise because when
Speaker 1: I was listening to the video, I turned it up
Speaker 1: loud so I can hear it more clearly.
Speaker 3: And when I did, my ex at the time, she
Speaker 3: came running back upstairs. She said, it's the back, Is
Speaker 3: it back? Is it back?
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, that's the same noise I heard, right,
Speaker 1: But it sounded like I said, it sounded like it
Speaker 1: was crying.
Speaker 3: That's the only vocal I ever got from them.
Speaker 1: I've never heard them other than that, just like the
Speaker 1: only vocal I got it from it, But.
Speaker 3: Was it for that day? This next one? This is
Speaker 3: why we moved.
Speaker 1: Back home from Gander. One night, I was on computer
Speaker 1: and after hearing that video and realizing it was the
Speaker 1: same noise, I think I was reading through the comments
Speaker 1: or something, and that's how I came across dog Man.
Speaker 1: Was through that video, and I think I was watching
Speaker 1: one of the Vig's videos, I think at the time,
Speaker 1: because I was like interested, and I'm like, okay something.
Speaker 1: Other people are singing what I'm singing, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going crazy, I don't think. And I was watching videos
Speaker 1: and my girlfriend at the time, she would always take
Speaker 1: her kid and walk up the road to her friend's house.
Speaker 1: Her friend's house maybe ten houses up the road, not
Speaker 1: very fair, like five minute walk probably, So I was
Speaker 1: waiting home for them to come back down from her
Speaker 1: kid playing with her friend's kids, and I was chilling.
Speaker 3: The next thing, he knows I.
Speaker 1: Here screaming, and I don't realize it's her screaming, so
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god. So I runs out the
Speaker 1: door and like as I'm running out the door, I'm
Speaker 1: running out the driveway and up road to meet her.
Speaker 3: She's like, it's there, stare stairs there. I'm like, what's there.
Speaker 3: She's like a big wolf, a huge wolf. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? A huge wolf?
Speaker 1: And like I was scanning the area trying to find it,
Speaker 1: and now I've seen it, and it.
Speaker 3: Was a cross the road. I'd say probably.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many houses up from me at
Speaker 1: the time, like five or six houses off from us,
Speaker 1: Like each house is probably ten feet from each other.
Speaker 1: And this thing, it's funny at first. It was funny
Speaker 1: at first because I was laughing. I was like, you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Do you see that? And like I try
Speaker 1: not to use her name. Now I will say her
Speaker 1: name is Nicole. So it's like, did you see that, Nicole?
Speaker 1: And she was like, yeses it?
Speaker 3: And the thing.
Speaker 1: Now, this thing is all whife and it's avoiding the
Speaker 1: street lights.
Speaker 4: Crawling on all fours almost like an army chop, and
Speaker 4: it's crawling around the corners of the houses, avoiding the light,
Speaker 4: and it's thinking that it's not being seen.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it realized that it was.
Speaker 1: It knew it was our wife, and I could see
Speaker 1: it like and it was that white vic like that
Speaker 1: when the moon hit it, it's almost like a blue
Speaker 1: shine ameopies for type thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was lights from a house that.
Speaker 1: Did that or what, but there was almost like a
Speaker 1: blue shine came out. And he continued doing this the
Speaker 1: whole like the whole way down until about two houses
Speaker 1: across from us.
Speaker 3: And when he got about it, like I said, two
Speaker 3: houses across.
Speaker 1: From us, we came to a corner and it would
Speaker 1: like if you were facing the opposite side of the
Speaker 1: road from you and looking at a house on the
Speaker 1: left side of that house, the corner, the front corner,
Speaker 1: and the left hands it got the deer, and I
Speaker 1: thought up until him then it was just a giant,
Speaker 1: huge wolf and it stood up. It literally stood up
Speaker 1: and put its hand on the corner of the house
Speaker 1: and we just like we was speechless when this happened.
Speaker 1: I could see details on it this time. I got
Speaker 1: a good look at him this time, and he had
Speaker 1: like we got no raccoons or nothing here so like,
Speaker 1: but I'm after seeing video of the raccoons and stuff.
Speaker 1: I had really long fingers, but he had a human hand,
Speaker 1: had a human hand, but the fingers were really long.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to tell you the color of
Speaker 1: his nails or nothing, because it was dark and still
Speaker 1: a bit fair away, but I could see that he
Speaker 1: had like really muscly long like it was almost like
Speaker 1: it even if he hunched over a little bit, it
Speaker 1: was almost like as if his fingers would just be
Speaker 1: barely off the ground. And he had really his head
Speaker 1: was huge. His head was huge's almost like cartoony looking right,
Speaker 1: like way bigger than he said. I had to pre
Speaker 1: record him with me and vic I said kind of look,
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of the viewers no, but
Speaker 1: like there used to be a show to came out
Speaker 1: and like nine these other leap called street schecks basically
Speaker 1: like actually like big muscly dudes with giant shark kads,
Speaker 1: and that's what it looked like to me. But it
Speaker 1: was a wolf and he's he had really like really
Speaker 1: pointy teeth, and it had really big like his face
Speaker 1: was almost like like I'm not gonna say German shepherd
Speaker 1: because it was fluffyir and like what the German shepherd's
Speaker 1: face would be. It's the same shape as it and
Speaker 1: like almost same like same general structure. I would say,
Speaker 1: but its ears. Its ears were like ad normally loan
Speaker 1: and really pointy and had these like little tussles at
Speaker 1: the end of the years. I almost looked like if
Speaker 1: you look at a picture of a hour glass, almost
Speaker 1: looked like his ears had like I don't know how
Speaker 1: to explain, there's like little bits on the ends of
Speaker 1: his ears.
Speaker 3: It was kind of weird, weird, but that's what I
Speaker 3: got out of it.
Speaker 1: When I've seen him, Like i'd like I got a
Speaker 1: good view, but it didn't at the same time because
Speaker 1: I actually seen him. But as soon as he stood
Speaker 1: up and put his arm on the corner of the house,
Speaker 1: it made I don't know if the noise came from
Speaker 1: it or the house, because when it stood up, it
Speaker 1: laid its hand on it on the house, and it
Speaker 1: made a really loud, creaky noise. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: think because this thing was like had had to be
Speaker 1: like at least seven or eight feet hole, and it
Speaker 1: looked like it weighed a lot, so I'm thinking the
Speaker 1: corner of the house a lot of pressure went down
Speaker 1: it and it made a really loud like cracking, like
Speaker 1: snapping sound.
Speaker 3: And when that happened, the.
Speaker 1: Light came on and the inside of the house, and
Speaker 1: I guess whoever was in there, I don't know who
Speaker 1: lived there, woke up and they turned the light on,
Speaker 1: and when that happened, it looked and then as soon
Speaker 1: as it looked at that, it was just gone. As
Speaker 1: soon as that was it. But I actually skipped the
Speaker 1: parrot ahead of myself a bit. There was a time
Speaker 1: before that when the window started tapping started in Gander.
Speaker 3: I seen him once before. I've only ever seen him
Speaker 3: three times.
Speaker 1: The time that I just explained was the third and
Speaker 1: final time. The second time was we were getting the
Speaker 1: tapping sound and I got really mad and I went
Speaker 1: out to check. And when I went out and checked,
Speaker 1: there was nothing in the back by the windows, and
Speaker 1: so I went to go back in, but I heard
Speaker 1: branches breaking behind me or something.
Speaker 3: And this was before I seen him that last time.
Speaker 1: I was just telling you guys about when I went
Speaker 1: to look, he was standing straight up. At this time,
Speaker 1: I didn't compare with Wolf or anything, because I didn't
Speaker 1: see at the head or anything like that. When I looked,
Speaker 1: all I seen was a seminary foot doll figgure with
Speaker 1: a big, long, white fluffy tail. It's almost like a
Speaker 1: fox's tail, like a big, long, fluffy tail. Anyways, its
Speaker 1: just locked into the bush and it just disappeared. That's
Speaker 1: my second time. I've only seen it pretty hot. But
Speaker 1: after that experience that she's seen it and even our
Speaker 1: kids seen it too, right, So I had enough of
Speaker 1: it at that point, I said, no, I'm not doing
Speaker 1: this no more. We're going back pity Harper. It wasn't
Speaker 1: very long. I think it was probably two or three
Speaker 1: weeks later. We so I did come back home. I
Speaker 1: had a claim out there. I sold my claim. I
Speaker 1: didn't want had nothing to do with the woods really
Speaker 1: affected me, like, like I tell people, like mom my,
Speaker 1: mom says to me all the time, how can you're
Speaker 1: not doing your thing no more? Hope you're not talking
Speaker 1: about your rocks and all that. I don't have no
Speaker 1: enjoy that, And they're like, I can't, like right now,
Speaker 1: I go up to go do it, and it's like
Speaker 1: any little noise, any little noise on on edge. Right.
Speaker 1: So we moved back home, and we weren't home very
Speaker 1: long and tepping started again after a little while, and
Speaker 1: I guess she just got sick of it, and she
Speaker 1: blamed me for it all and because so I guess
Speaker 1: she thought that, like, you know, me paying attention to
Speaker 1: too much, it's cos of it or something.
Speaker 3: We broke up because of it.
Speaker 1: Anyways, So I was living at home, this is about
Speaker 1: two years ago now, a year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: two years maybe, and uh, I've never seen it since
Speaker 1: that night and gander and moved home. And when I
Speaker 1: was home, I would started getting to pepping on the
Speaker 1: windows at this point done like still happening to this day.
Speaker 1: But I'll be come accustomed to it, right, So like
Speaker 1: sometimes i'd be doing my thing and it could be happening,
Speaker 1: and I'm at the point now I don't even hear it,
Speaker 1: like come accustomed to it, right. But I started getting
Speaker 1: whistles really early in the morning, like four five o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, start getting whistles, and like had to
Speaker 1: be outside, like my bedroom had to be because every time,
Speaker 1: like my windows are closed and I sleep, I sleep
Speaker 1: with my windows closed, even if it's warm. But it
Speaker 1: woke me up, and it's like I can try to
Speaker 1: make the sound. It almost sounds like a human almost
Speaker 1: what I knows is not a human. It's nobody going
Speaker 1: to be up at four o'clock in the morning, whistling
Speaker 1: outside my window and anyway, it's just like it goes
Speaker 1: like a it's like a it's like somebody trying to
Speaker 1: get your attention. I can't whistle for the late in
Speaker 1: these area goes, but it sounds like it's coming like
Speaker 1: sometimes it comes from the front, sometimes it sounds like
Speaker 1: it's coming from the back.
Speaker 3: But dog, it's hard to explain.
Speaker 1: It sounds it's almost like it's loud when it wakes
Speaker 1: me up, And as soon as the closer I gets
Speaker 1: to the door, it gets quieter, but soon when it
Speaker 1: gets to the door gets louder.
Speaker 3: It's hard to explain.
Speaker 1: But the only feeling I get from it is it's
Speaker 1: trying to get me out, so trying to get me
Speaker 1: to go outside. And that's what started freaking me out
Speaker 1: a little bit. And that only happened to me like
Speaker 1: since then, probably a handful of dozen times, probably like
Speaker 1: six or seven times, probably maybe a dozen times probably,
Speaker 1: But uh, the reason I actually got in contact with
Speaker 1: Vick here lately, I've never had a a counter or
Speaker 1: experience or anything like that in my hometown. And I've
Speaker 1: always figured it was too densely like I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: dense I think there's only like eight hundred people, probably
Speaker 1: not even down here, and I just figured where all
Speaker 1: the houses were so close together or don't make it
Speaker 1: could happen. But uh, there's a path I use because
Speaker 1: my mom. My mom has cancer and be sick, and
Speaker 1: I had to come up and oper with it. And
Speaker 1: I come up in the morning. So I usually leave
Speaker 1: around six thirty in the morning, come up in the
Speaker 1: morning and give her a hand with stuff like go
Speaker 1: go from my wax, my exercise for the morning.
Speaker 3: And it usually does the same thing in the evenings.
Speaker 1: And here lately every day I go up, I get
Speaker 1: about halfway up. Now this path, I think it's like
Speaker 1: all pity Harbor. It's just hills. There's been like no
Speaker 1: flat roads down here. I'll up or down and this
Speaker 1: one hill it's like if you go Google map, it'll
Speaker 1: come up as as a road, but it's not an
Speaker 1: actual road. It was probably it wasn't it was the
Speaker 1: main road down here, but that was probably one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty years ago. So this road, this path that
Speaker 1: I takes, goes up a mountain about I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: about point eight or point nine of a kilometer and
Speaker 1: then the rest of it. Daughter, it's one point seven
Speaker 1: kilometers long. I know that I'm that mutching. The rest
Speaker 1: of it's downhill, right, so about halfway going up the hill.
Speaker 1: For about two months now, since the beginning of summer,
Speaker 1: I've started getting a really bad smell and it smells
Speaker 1: like rotten fish and urine. Sometimes it smells like rotten
Speaker 1: fish and garbage. And one time it was just straight
Speaker 1: off pecs. It was just it was. It was. It's gross,
Speaker 1: but whatever it is. But not very long after I
Speaker 1: get the smell, I start hearing something in the right
Speaker 1: hand like you're walking off to be in the right
Speaker 1: hand side, you're walking back down. It's left hand, so.
Speaker 3: You're walking off.
Speaker 1: And I started hearing something in the woods inside me
Speaker 1: every single time. But it's not as big as the
Speaker 1: one that I saw Ganger heard and Gander, I should say,
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound as big as that. And I hadn't
Speaker 1: been really gaying much attention to it until this one day.
Speaker 1: I was telling Vic, how Vic, the fog is down
Speaker 1: here and it could call me in like the weather.
Speaker 1: Hair changes in the blink of an eye. So this
Speaker 1: one morning I woke up to got ready having coffee
Speaker 1: and the skill Goup mountains now, so I went to
Speaker 1: check that and well, I want to do that, and
Speaker 1: I left nothing nothing, nothing happened, I locked up. I
Speaker 1: don't even think I smelled anything that day and the
Speaker 1: way up. But uh, well fast forward it. This is
Speaker 1: a bit prior to explain because two other people seen
Speaker 1: what I would think they seen something, and I seen something,
Speaker 1: but I can't explain what I seen. They can kind
Speaker 1: of explain what they see, but I'll try to explain
Speaker 1: it the best I can. So when I left, I
Speaker 1: didn't find this out until I got back later that night.
Speaker 1: My neighbor, she lives above me. She's from the Mainland,
Speaker 1: so she's after seeing big cats like cougar before we
Speaker 1: got no cougar's here at all, right, So when I
Speaker 1: was coming home that night, she stopped me and she said, Adam,
Speaker 1: did you see that when you're left this morning?
Speaker 3: I was like, did you see what?
Speaker 1: And I got this really old tree in my backyard
Speaker 1: and it got to be every bit of one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty if not more feet high, and it's just
Speaker 1: this one tree. And she said, this big muscly cat,
Speaker 1: a big black muscly cat, and she said it was
Speaker 1: like longer than I am. Tal walked down the tree
Speaker 1: and I said, what do you mean it walked down
Speaker 1: the tree and crawled down the tree. She said, no,
Speaker 1: it didn't crawl down the tree. It walked down the
Speaker 1: tree like you picture of an animal walking on background.
Speaker 1: He said, that's what that did, went down the tree.
Speaker 1: And when I asked her what color was she said
Speaker 1: it was black. And she said it was a black cougar.
Speaker 1: And I said, do you mean a black cougar? So
Speaker 1: we got no cougar's new and we got no black ones.
Speaker 1: We definitely don't want to have no black ones, right,
Speaker 1: So that kind of startled me. Earlier that day when
Speaker 1: I left to come back home, Like I was telling
Speaker 1: you guys, the fog can come in here pretty quick.
Speaker 1: So I made I was up there maybe two hours
Speaker 1: and an hour, hour and a half maybe When I
Speaker 1: learned to leave, the fog was bad. It was so
Speaker 1: bad I could not see. If I put my hand
Speaker 1: out as far as I could, I couldn't see my hand.
Speaker 1: Like when I got up on top of the hill
Speaker 1: to go back down the path. The path is only
Speaker 1: about ten feet wide, I couldn't see on each side
Speaker 1: of the path now. Like I said earlier, the past
Speaker 1: takes about twenty minutes. Fifteen minutes for me, I got
Speaker 1: onto it. I don't think I was into it, not
Speaker 1: even five minutes and I seen like it just like
Speaker 1: it slowly came in the vision and in the middle
Speaker 1: of a path was just black, fuzzy something. After I
Speaker 1: got off the phone with Vic the other day, I
Speaker 1: wracked my brain. I sat down and tried to think
Speaker 1: about it and tried to think about what I saw.
Speaker 1: And at the time I was like, I've seen a
Speaker 1: black bear. That's in my mind at the time, is
Speaker 1: a black bear cub because I know it wasn't the
Speaker 1: side of a full wound, but it wasn't the size
Speaker 1: of it wasn't exactly decide of the cub either, right like,
Speaker 1: and it was really it was blurry looking to me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the fog or what.
Speaker 1: It was blurry looking to me, so I couldn't really
Speaker 1: I didn't get any features. I don't know. It was
Speaker 1: a black mass standing. I wouldn't stand it was on
Speaker 1: it was on force at this time, but didn't move
Speaker 1: the whole time. I couldn't see its head to see
Speaker 1: if it was looking at me or not. But the
Speaker 1: whole time I was watching it, it didn't move so
Speaker 1: like to me, that's if it was a black bear,
Speaker 1: it would have been odd behavior for him because it
Speaker 1: either come towards me or run for me. I wonder,
Speaker 1: you're not just going to stand there. But like I said,
Speaker 1: it took me five minutes to get when I witnessed that.
Speaker 3: I was so scared at the time because I wasn't
Speaker 3: sure what I was seeing.
Speaker 1: Like if it was a club, I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: first thing came my mind was mammo bear. So instead
Speaker 1: of turned around and walking straight out, I decided slowly
Speaker 1: back out, and my head was on the swivel the
Speaker 1: whole way out until that thing went out of my vision.
Speaker 1: And then I got on the road and off the
Speaker 1: roadway home. But after I got home, and after my
Speaker 1: neighbor told me what she had seen the next morning
Speaker 1: my mom, I came back up to help out my
Speaker 1: mom again. And the next morning she told me she
Speaker 1: was up in the middle of the night for some
Speaker 1: fresh air, and she seemed what she explained to me
Speaker 1: was she couldn't tell if it was a dog or
Speaker 1: a big cat, but she said it's sitting down, its
Speaker 1: head would have been to the bottom of my neck
Speaker 1: or the bottom of my chin. And I'm five foot eight,
Speaker 1: so that's sitting down. It's pretty big, but it still
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been as big as the one that I
Speaker 1: after that day, my kids used to walk that path
Speaker 1: and go back and forth from their friends. I thought,
Speaker 1: I completely stop my kids from using that path, and
Speaker 1: I don't. Le's like, I have to try not to
Speaker 1: use the path as much as I can, but I
Speaker 1: think it's a juve. And a while and a couple
Speaker 1: of nights ago, I'm getting a lot of work done
Speaker 1: on the place that I'm living down during new windows
Speaker 1: and doors put in, and uh, that was about five
Speaker 1: days ago, maybe now. And so I went out after
Speaker 1: my back windows got replaced and they're all missy from
Speaker 1: the from the guys working and stuff. So I went
Speaker 1: out cleaning my windows because I was very proud of
Speaker 1: my new windows, made sure they're all sparkally clean. And
Speaker 1: that night I was making supper or whatever, getting supper.
Speaker 1: I think I think it was like blues birthday, my
Speaker 1: dog Blue. I think it was his birthday actually went
Speaker 1: because we were making hamburgers and we went out to
Speaker 1: eat it, and I heard from the kitchen the kitchen window,
Speaker 1: I heard tettet test, but it kept on tappen and
Speaker 1: it didn't stop like it stop. But it was a
Speaker 1: lot longer than what it usually is. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's because the new windows or because, like
Speaker 1: I noticed myself, I'm much clearer there. If they were,
Speaker 1: my whole windows were really dirty. But well, that wouldn't
Speaker 1: say dirty, it's just old. I think it's like a cloudiness.
Speaker 1: To him, it was really clear and shiney. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was like seeing itself and it's
Speaker 1: like touching, it's like seeing its reflection or something. But uh.
Speaker 1: The next morning, I woke up there and the guys
Speaker 1: had all the scaffolding out in the front of the house.
Speaker 1: They moved it out to the front at this point,
Speaker 1: and I went to let my dog out for his
Speaker 1: morning pee or whatever.
Speaker 3: And when I did, I checked the window.
Speaker 1: I was checked the back, just going sure nothing's out there.
Speaker 1: And when I did, there was a print on my window.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like a full line like handprint. I
Speaker 1: think it's three digits and it was at the top
Speaker 1: of my window. Like I said, to you guys earlier
Speaker 1: when I was explaining where the window was in my bedroom.
Speaker 1: It's same with all windows of my pramtments are about
Speaker 1: five feet up from the bottom of the floor and
Speaker 1: almost rested way up the wall.
Speaker 3: There's pretty big windows.
Speaker 1: But in order for an animal that I think, or
Speaker 1: a creature that I think is the size that these guys,
Speaker 1: you would have to kneel down to looking right. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking where the print is on top of my window,
Speaker 1: not the bottom of the middle or anywhere like that.
Speaker 1: I think he knelt down and rest of his hand
Speaker 1: on the top of my window, and he used these
Speaker 1: other hand attack. Now that's just what I'm getting from it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's my my encounters. Like I said, I've
Speaker 1: only seen him three times in eleven years. But I
Speaker 1: have a hard time remembering all the little things because
Speaker 1: there's like so many little things that happens. Like I
Speaker 1: don't know if I mentioned it the other day when
Speaker 1: we did the phone interview. Before me and my ex
Speaker 1: broke up let me moved back here, we would get
Speaker 1: birds like I don't know if they were gifts or something,
Speaker 1: but somebody wouldn't like they're dead obviously, but they weren't like,
Speaker 1: you know, like somebody like Kuli bird.
Speaker 3: He looked like you were dad.
Speaker 1: It's almost like somebody carefully had him in her hand
Speaker 1: and just laying them on my backsteps. That happened. That
Speaker 1: only happened like a couple of times. But that stopped
Speaker 1: as well. And uh well, a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: we had a lot of wildlife down here too, And
Speaker 1: like the coyotes, we had a bunch of coyotes that
Speaker 1: were down here. They're all gone now, they're disappeared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had, I know of three foxes that I used
Speaker 1: to see daily. I had one that I always used
Speaker 1: to sit on my corner in my yard. I mean
Speaker 1: I used to see him every other day. He hadn't
Speaker 1: seen him. And there's two more, and one that you
Speaker 1: see on the path, I haven't seen him no more.
Speaker 1: And there's one up on mount I haven't seen him no more.
Speaker 1: And what else gone? Trouse? There's a lot of grouse here.
Speaker 1: There's no grouse down here no more. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any seen rabbits, any small animals. There's none around. But
Speaker 1: when I'm having I did notice, when I'm having like
Speaker 1: more than like two or three window taps a week.
Speaker 1: That's when you see like moose running through the community
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It's like the the moose know
Speaker 1: that these things won't follow them into town because they're
Speaker 1: going to get.
Speaker 3: It's so weird once you like connect the dots.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I could just be that
Speaker 1: overthinking it. But that's why I thought, like these things
Speaker 1: when they're around the moose that's scared of them, they're
Speaker 1: willing to just walk.
Speaker 3: Through the town. Not like moose cares about a person anyways.
Speaker 1: But it's not very often like a moose just goes
Speaker 1: straight up block in the middle of your town, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But yeah, that's one. That's everything
Speaker 1: I got. I hope it it helps somebody out there.
Speaker 1: I know a couple of year Gud's stories help me out.
Speaker 1: So thank you very much for listing.
Speaker 2: Oh you're welcome. Yeah, that is quite a bit. Those
Speaker 2: are a lot of experiences. I'll tell you what, Adam,
Speaker 2: we're out of time tonight, but would be up for
Speaker 2: coming back Friday night to do a live stream so
Speaker 2: I could ask you a bunch of questions about your experiences,
Speaker 2: and that way also you could feel some questions from
Speaker 2: the listeners and the live chat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I would one hundred percent be down for that.
Speaker 2: Oh good. Well if that's the case, then yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: just put the questions on hold until then and we'll
Speaker 2: have you come back so we can do that. But
Speaker 2: in the meantime, thanks again so much for coming on
Speaker 2: and doing this in the first place. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You're very welcome, no problem.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say thank you very much too, because
Speaker 1: just takes a huge weight off my chest. It's like
Speaker 1: I felt for long squall, I couldn't tell anybody about it,
Speaker 1: and I want to let everybody know that it's okay
Speaker 1: to talk about these things and they are out there,
Speaker 1: so stay safe and be careful to everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, when you have experiences like this with dog men,
Speaker 2: but you can't talk about these experiences you've had. Like
Speaker 2: I've said before several times, it's like a prison with
Speaker 2: no walls. It's just not a good feeling at all.
Speaker 2: So I'm just glad to be able to provide a
Speaker 2: way for you to put these experiences out there and
Speaker 2: talk about them.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm glad there's a somewhere to go with it,
Speaker 1: right because there's nothing worse than having something like that
Speaker 1: stuck in your head.
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, yeah, that's not good at all. Well, thanks
Speaker 2: again so much for your time, Adam, and we'll talk
Speaker 2: to your Fridays.
