Speaker 2: Now, what are your reporting? I got a screen going
Speaker 2: on here. Something just kid with my dog, something to
Speaker 2: kill your dog?
Speaker 3: My dog.
Speaker 2: We're flying through there, over the tree. I don't know
Speaker 2: how it did it? Okay, damn it. I'm really confused.
Speaker 2: All I saw was my dog coming over the fence,
Speaker 2: and name was dead once you hit the grill. I
Speaker 2: didn't see any cars. All I saw was my dog
Speaker 2: coming over the fence.
Speaker 3: Happen?
Speaker 2: What are you reporting? We got some wonder or something
Speaker 2: crawling around out here? Did you see what it was?
Speaker 2: It was enough out here looking them new to window
Speaker 2: now and I don't see anything. I don't want to
Speaker 2: go outside. It's quinet kara. Hello, hit somebody out here?
Speaker 2: What went on out there? I thought of a bit
Speaker 2: just about sixty nine. I don't know easy, I'm out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm walking right away.
Speaker 3: Oh greetings, This bread in Alaska. Thanks for joining me today.
Speaker 3: What I have to share with you comes from the
Speaker 3: Copper River Valley. This person wishes for their community to
Speaker 3: be left out. I'll just leave it at the Copper
Speaker 3: River Valley. It's a small community. And they don't want strangers,
Speaker 3: whether they're from Alaska or not, bombarding their area looking around.
Speaker 3: I'll respect that because it can happen. They wanted to
Speaker 3: remain anonymous, so we'll call them Patrick and Tina. Patrick
Speaker 3: and Tina were on a walk near their home. They
Speaker 3: were about four miles into this walk. As they're getting
Speaker 3: to the point of turning around, which wasn't far from
Speaker 3: the Copper River itself, they stopped and were having a
Speaker 3: backpack lunch that they had brought with them. They were
Speaker 3: both armed. They're both very bear wise wise. They believe
Speaker 3: in protecting themselves, so they were armed. They didn't specify
Speaker 3: what they just mentioned. They were armed. Tina also had
Speaker 3: bear spray. Now, they found a little open area to
Speaker 3: enjoy their backpack lunch. As they were sitting there eating,
Speaker 3: about halfway through, Tina needed to relieve herself, so she
Speaker 3: went just a short distance easily within eyeshot of Patrick
Speaker 3: was handling her business. As she was finishing up, she
Speaker 3: said she heard whispers behind her really creeped her out.
Speaker 3: She jumped ran back towards where Patrick was sitting. Patrick
Speaker 3: jumps up, of course, and was like, what the hell,
Speaker 3: and she commences telling them, hey, I heard whispers over
Speaker 3: there in the woods. Patrick was very upset because, of
Speaker 3: course that's his wife. How dare someone be nearby and
Speaker 3: not announce themselves and start whispering about his wife doing
Speaker 3: her thing. So he starts looking around, and he's probing
Speaker 3: the area and there is literally nothing around, no sign
Speaker 3: of anybody. He backs back over to where Tina is.
Speaker 3: They have a short conversation about it. He said, I
Speaker 3: don't see anything, and there's no sign of anybody. There's
Speaker 3: not even trails over there for someone to be. So
Speaker 3: they got a little spooked, and they weren't thinking Harry
Speaker 3: Man or anything like that at the time. They were
Speaker 3: thinking maybe they were followed by some weirdo or something.
Speaker 3: Strange things happen in the woods, So they're basically reasoning
Speaker 3: away what it could be, trying to find whatever reason
Speaker 3: may have been for the whispering. Patrick to this point
Speaker 3: had not heard the whispering, so they decide to put
Speaker 3: their backpack lunch away and start heading back home. Along
Speaker 3: their way home, they have about two and a half
Speaker 3: miles before they get to their nearest neighbor, so they
Speaker 3: start hiking back home with their backpacks on. Patrick Katina
Speaker 3: walked in front of him. They got less than one
Speaker 3: hundred yards from where they were eating their lunch. Patrick
Speaker 3: started hearing the whispering and started hearing branches break off
Speaker 3: to his left hand side. Tina heard it at the
Speaker 3: same time, and they both stopped and turned in the
Speaker 3: direction of the noise and were looking at each other,
Speaker 3: being quiet, trying to listen to what was being said.
Speaker 3: The whispering they couldn't make out. They could tell it
Speaker 3: was close, but they couldn't make out what the whispering was.
Speaker 3: It was jarbled. It was like gibberish. They couldn't make
Speaker 3: it out. Nothing was enunciated. They really couldn't make it
Speaker 3: out other than gibberish in a whisper. So they stopped.
Speaker 3: They're watching that area for a minute, and they continue
Speaker 3: to hear movement just out of eyesight, and it gets
Speaker 3: a little louder, this gibberish sound, so they're like, what
Speaker 3: the hell. They get a little worried because there was
Speaker 3: an ominous feeling in the air once it got a
Speaker 3: little louder. At first, it was just curiosity on Patrick
Speaker 3: Contina's part, but then once the whispering and the movement
Speaker 3: got louder, it took on an ominous tone, which freaked
Speaker 3: him out. Patrick said he clearly remembers the hair on
Speaker 3: his arm standing up. He was pointing in the direction
Speaker 3: he was hearing the sound, making sure Tina's eyes were
Speaker 3: on that direction, and he visibly saw the hair on
Speaker 3: his arm stand up when it got louder. From what
Speaker 3: Patrick was saying, Tina immediately was motioning him like let's go.
Speaker 3: According to what she said, she got a very sickening
Speaker 3: feeling in her gut. They start walking, and Patrick had
Speaker 3: drawn his firearm and had it at his side in
Speaker 3: his hand as they continued walking. Now Tina did not
Speaker 3: She had gotten out her bare spray and they were
Speaker 3: walking along. They were having a hard time focusing on
Speaker 3: the trail because as they were moving along, this whispering
Speaker 3: in the woods was pacing them at a distance just
Speaker 3: where they couldn't see. It was really starting to bother them.
Speaker 3: So Patrick, after about another twenty yards of this whispering
Speaker 3: and pacing beside them, yells out says, hey, stop following us.
Speaker 3: I have a gun. I will use it. Back off.
Speaker 3: It gets dead quiet. There's no animal noises around, so
Speaker 3: they continue walking. Patrick didn't want to announce he had
Speaker 3: a firearm. For whatever reason, he felt he was showing
Speaker 3: his cards, so to speak. If it was some weirdo
Speaker 3: in the woods, the weirdo would know he's armed. Potentially
Speaker 3: it could get uglier. He continues walking. They hear this
Speaker 3: pacing and it sounds like it's getting ahead of them
Speaker 3: off to their left hand side. Tina is verbalizing it
Speaker 3: as they're walking. She goes, I can hear it. It's
Speaker 3: starting to get into a front of us, just out
Speaker 3: of eyesight. Now they have a good mile on this
Speaker 3: trail before it starts opening up at all. It's fairly dense.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of large tall trees in this area,
Speaker 3: but it's a lot of black spruce, some pine, and
Speaker 3: of course willow and aldershrubs, various other ferns and what
Speaker 3: have you. It's dense, you're not going to much even
Speaker 3: if it's right up on you. And they're very concerned
Speaker 3: because they could hear this movement getting ahead of them,
Speaker 3: so they're concerned about them potentially being ambushed. So they
Speaker 3: paused for just a moment and Tina says we should jog.
Speaker 3: Patrick agrees, and they start trotting along. Now they're carrying backpacks.
Speaker 3: They weren't overly heavy or anything like that, but the
Speaker 3: backpacks were making a lot of jingling and jumbling noises
Speaker 3: with the zippers and all that stuff. They initially started
Speaker 3: jogging along the trail, but they weren't able to hear
Speaker 3: the surrounding noise because of all the noise they were making.
Speaker 3: They stopped. They reassessed and decided to walk at a
Speaker 3: fast pace without making as much jingling noises with their backpacks.
Speaker 3: Once they got their game plan, they continued on this
Speaker 3: whole time. The whispering, the gibberish sounds them being paced
Speaker 3: has not stopped when they started running. For the brief
Speaker 3: moments that they did, this movement was consistent. They couldn't
Speaker 3: hear running or anything like that, but the sound itself
Speaker 3: was moving through the trees on pace with them, which
Speaker 3: really freaked them out. Now, after running, Tina, she said
Speaker 3: about twenty five yards into that she stopped abruptly because
Speaker 3: she saw something very dark. The trail they were on
Speaker 3: was twelve o'clock. It would have been at the ten
Speaker 3: o'clock position, approximately fifty yards off to their left. She
Speaker 3: stops and assess what she could see and what she
Speaker 3: could see is this darkness in between these two trees.
Speaker 3: At first, she almost dismissed it because it looked like
Speaker 3: just a tree blowing, but there was no wind, and
Speaker 3: that's what caused her to focus on that one movement.
Speaker 3: Very dark. It was just at the right distance where
Speaker 3: they couldn't really make anything out, but just something big
Speaker 3: and dark moving between two trees, almost like a tree
Speaker 3: blowing back and forth in the wind. Now from Patrick's perspective,
Speaker 3: he had to come up a couple paces to join
Speaker 3: Tina on the trail for her to point out, and
Speaker 3: then finally he got a fix on it and starts
Speaker 3: yelling again, hey, stop following us, leave us alone. Before
Speaker 3: this turns ugly. He's just yelling this stuff out. There's
Speaker 3: nothing in return more whispers and gibberish. A moment later
Speaker 3: after he was done talking, so they carry on. They
Speaker 3: continue down this trail. Tina says she started feeling very
Speaker 3: ill to her stomachs. She said that she felt like
Speaker 3: she was in imminent danger. Patrick, however, he didn't feel
Speaker 3: the same. He felt nervous, but he didn't feel like
Speaker 3: he was in imminent danger. So after a few paces
Speaker 3: of Tina feeling that way, She stops and tells Patrick, hey,
Speaker 3: I feel we're in serious danger. Patrick didn't dismiss it.
Speaker 3: It's just he didn't have the same feeling. He was
Speaker 3: nervous and anxious, but he wasn't in fear of his life,
Speaker 3: so he said, just stay calm, we're armed, let's be ready,
Speaker 3: Let's keep moving. They continue on. They went up from
Speaker 3: that last little conversation. They went approximately fifty more yards,
Speaker 3: and there was no sound whatsoever. As they were walking.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden they hear the whispering, and it
Speaker 3: sounds like it's just on the other side of the trees,
Speaker 3: just out of view, a lot closer than it had
Speaker 3: been the whole time, which immediately caused them to stop,
Speaker 3: and Patrick panic fired about three rounds in that direction
Speaker 3: into the trees. Just bam. They heard scurrying in the brush,
Speaker 3: some branches breaking, and the gibberish talk got louder and louder.
Speaker 3: Going away from them, they heard other movement from nearby,
Speaker 3: not in that exact location where they heard loudest whispers,
Speaker 3: but from various points just a little ahead of them
Speaker 3: and a little off the trail. They heard multiple movement.
Speaker 3: They couldn't tell if it was two or three, but
Speaker 3: it was at least two, so at that moment they
Speaker 3: didn't know what it was. But whatever, the two things
Speaker 3: were moving away. So with Patrick's ears ringing Tina's as well,
Speaker 3: these things were making enough noise to be heard moving away.
Speaker 3: Now they continue on down the trail, basically running. At
Speaker 3: this point they weren't quite sure, but from the adrenaline,
Speaker 3: dumb and everything going squirrely, it wasn't very far before
Speaker 3: they had to catch their breath because they wed already
Speaker 3: been holding their breath and freaking out the whole time.
Speaker 3: Patrick said, one thing that stood out is once they
Speaker 3: took off running full board, he said, about half the
Speaker 3: distance that they were able to keep up a really
Speaker 3: fast paced so about half that distance point he started
Speaker 3: hearing thrashing in the brush off to their left, just
Speaker 3: behind them. He was guestimating about sixty yards back behind
Speaker 3: them off the trail. So once they stopped, because they
Speaker 3: were out of breath and starting to really hyperventilate and
Speaker 3: freak out, he said, they stopped, he had Tina squat down,
Speaker 3: get her firearm out, and he stood guard over her,
Speaker 3: waiting for whatever to show itself. Because once they stopped,
Speaker 3: they heard the movement still moving towards them, but just
Speaker 3: out of sight. Patrick said that where they happened to
Speaker 3: have stopped was very tight part of the trail, very
Speaker 3: dense on both sides. Damn near impossible to make anything
Speaker 3: out other than the noises. It couldn't see movement. It
Speaker 3: was just damn near impossible. So he whispers to Tina,
Speaker 3: we got a little ways to go before it starts
Speaker 3: opening up. Let's get into the open so we're not
Speaker 3: so closed in, and she agrees. They took a moment,
Speaker 3: she said, let me catch my breath. Meanwhile, that noise
Speaker 3: had stopped. The movement anyway of the noise had stopped,
Speaker 3: but the gibberish whispers continued. He said at that point
Speaker 3: he could tell the whisper was coming in two different tones,
Speaker 3: so he would hear weird gibberish whisper and then a
Speaker 3: response not too far away to the whisper. He said,
Speaker 3: it was very creepy. He had a very hard time
Speaker 3: standing focused. His head was on a swivel. A couple
Speaker 3: times he thought he heard movement behind them. They were
Speaker 3: feeling inclosed real fast, getting real claustrophobic. On this tight trail.
Speaker 3: Finally they take off again. He says he doesn't remember
Speaker 3: how long it took for them to get to that
Speaker 3: where it opens up more on the trail, but they
Speaker 3: did not stop. They weren't full blown running. They were
Speaker 3: trotting along because he was head on a swivel trying
Speaker 3: to keep track of where the noises were coming from.
Speaker 3: It was hard with the backpack noise and all that stuff,
Speaker 3: but they were motivated to move. Patrick said, as soon
Speaker 3: as they came into that clearing, Tina was spent, and
Speaker 3: so was he, damn near. They basically had been hyperventilating,
Speaker 3: like panic stricken. He looked at Tina when they got
Speaker 3: into the clearing, when she turned around where he could
Speaker 3: see her face outside of just profile now and then
Speaker 3: of her looking off the side of the trails. She
Speaker 3: was pale, and he was really concerned for her because
Speaker 3: she did not look good. She looked very pale, peaked,
Speaker 3: almost grand tone. She was really getting freaked out.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquat Yetta see. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back after these messages.
Speaker 3: And so was he. Just by the nature of what
Speaker 3: was happening, They spent their whole lives in the woods.
Speaker 3: This is their life. They've always been out in the woods,
Speaker 3: never had anything like this happen. They're both late forties,
Speaker 3: and this is the first time they had ever encountered
Speaker 3: anything like this. They'd been together for a long time,
Speaker 3: always hunted in the woods, bury picking, the whole nine.
Speaker 3: They were not wallflowers. Once they got to this clearing,
Speaker 3: Patrick said he had Tina stand behind him with her
Speaker 3: firearm ount he had his out. He heard the noises.
Speaker 3: Now they're facing back on their back trail now, so
Speaker 3: the noise is coming from off to their right. He
Speaker 3: said that this clearing they were in was probably a
Speaker 3: fifty yard radius. It was egg shaped, and they were
Speaker 3: more towards the top of the egg if their trail
Speaker 3: out of there was the top of the eggs. They're
Speaker 3: further away from where they had started in this egg
Speaker 3: shape opening, right about fifty yards in diameter. He said
Speaker 3: that as they were standing there and he had his
Speaker 3: pistol raised and he was just looking back and forth
Speaker 3: at the trees and stuff, the movement off to the
Speaker 3: right had stopped and he didn't hear anything, But all
Speaker 3: of a sudden he saw something peeking his head above
Speaker 3: some brush so he started focusing on it, trying to
Speaker 3: figure out what it was because the shape of it
Speaker 3: was weird. He was trying to make out what it was.
Speaker 3: At first, he was like, is that a bear? What
Speaker 3: is that? He's getting Tina's attention, and she sees what
Speaker 3: he's seeing. They're trying to assess what they're looking at
Speaker 3: as this dark thing that's all they could make out
Speaker 3: at that moment, was up and down behind this bush.
Speaker 3: Patrick decides he going to shoot around in the air.
Speaker 3: He tells Tina, plug your ear closest to me. It
Speaker 3: doesn't ring as loud, I'm going to fire in the air.
Speaker 3: He just says, don't don't do that. We don't know
Speaker 3: what it is. It didn't do anything last time, save
Speaker 3: your So he stands down and he's just standing there
Speaker 3: for a minute, trying to assess what the hell to do.
Speaker 3: And as they're talking about backing out of there, they
Speaker 3: hear more movement. They can't place where they're hearing it from,
Speaker 3: but it sounds real close, and they were distracted for
Speaker 3: the briefest moment off to their left. In that brief
Speaker 3: moment where the thing had been bobbing up and down
Speaker 3: to their right, it stood up. Patrick said that out
Speaker 3: of his peripheral he saw the thing stand up, and
Speaker 3: it stood up not too far from at least a
Speaker 3: twelve foot black spruce. He said, this thing was damn
Speaker 3: near as tall as that and very wide. I asked
Speaker 3: him if he saw any kind of facial features, eyes, whatever,
Speaker 3: and he said it was just dark. They saw that,
Speaker 3: and immediately it got their attention. They were both looking
Speaker 3: in that direction, and as they started to try to
Speaker 3: figure out what the hell they were looking at, this
Speaker 3: thing dropped back down below the brush, and they heard
Speaker 3: it moving from the right towards their left, but keeping
Speaker 3: its distance inside the trees. They start backing away, going
Speaker 3: back down the trail. Now there's approximately thirty yards distance
Speaker 3: between where they saw this thing and where they were at.
Speaker 3: So they got to the top of this egg shaped
Speaker 3: clearing where the trail continued, and they knew it wasn't
Speaker 3: too much further before it really opened up wide and
Speaker 3: would have plenty of field of view, So they decide
Speaker 3: they're going to bolt for it. They turn around and
Speaker 3: haul ass. They get to the bigger opening. From what
Speaker 3: Patrick said, as they were running that direction, they were
Speaker 3: motivated because they could feel in the ground by pedal
Speaker 3: footsteps behind them. He didn't know how close. He could
Speaker 3: feel it in the ground, and it was motivation. They
Speaker 3: could hear it, they could feel it, and they were
Speaker 3: just hauling ass now. When they get into the bigger,
Speaker 3: wider clearing, Patrick immediately turns around because he's already almost
Speaker 3: winded again, points the gun and there's nothing behind them.
Speaker 3: They had been hearing this noise consistently since they took
Speaker 3: off running, and when he turned around there was nothing there.
Speaker 3: So he's panting. He's panic stricken. Tina's at his shoulder,
Speaker 3: she's got her firearm raised. There's nothing to be seen now.
Speaker 3: Just inside the trees. They start hearing movement off to
Speaker 3: the right. As they're paying attention to that, all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, couple of pine cones get thrown at them.
Speaker 3: Not directly at them, but they landed right in their
Speaker 3: field of view. Little pine cones being thrown from how
Speaker 3: far they weren't sure because it had to have been
Speaker 3: a high arc to wait for them to be falling.
Speaker 3: So they're steadily backing away. Patrick said, when they got
Speaker 3: about sixty seventy yards from that tree line that they
Speaker 3: had just came out of into the bigger, wider opening.
Speaker 3: That's when this thing showed itself again. And when it
Speaker 3: showed itself, it went from their right to the left
Speaker 3: to the trail, just looking back their direction. He said,
Speaker 3: that's when he was able to tell it had an
Speaker 3: ashen gray look pitch black hair. Couldn't make out the
Speaker 3: eyes or whether it have whites in its eyes or
Speaker 3: anything like that. Couldn't really make out too much facial
Speaker 3: feature other than the complexion of the skin was different
Speaker 3: from the blackness of the hair. He said. He could
Speaker 3: see the same colored ashen gray throughout the body. The
Speaker 3: way the hair was it wasn't like mange, but just
Speaker 3: like a human's hair when it parts or whatever, you
Speaker 3: can see the skin underneath. It was in that context,
Speaker 3: he said, they continue to walk backwards. This thing walked
Speaker 3: over to damn near the trail, but then cut back
Speaker 3: off into the trees. Now as they were backing away,
Speaker 3: the pine cones eventually stopped at some point. He doesn't
Speaker 3: remember when because they were trying to focus on this creature.
Speaker 3: He said. They got a little further away, then turned
Speaker 3: around and started walking because they felt there was enough
Speaker 3: distance they would hear or see this thing coming, which
Speaker 3: they were regularly looking over their shoulders, but they wanted
Speaker 3: to create distance. They end up getting up back by
Speaker 3: where one of their neighbors were, and when they got
Speaker 3: to that driveway, they noticed their neighbor's truck wasn't home,
Speaker 3: and they knew that person lived alone and wouldn't be home,
Speaker 3: so they continued on walking. They ended up making it
Speaker 3: all the way home. No further instance at that point. However,
Speaker 3: that night, Tina said that just as they were getting
Speaker 3: ready to go to bed, still reliving the moments that
Speaker 3: had happened earlier that day, off in the distance, they
Speaker 3: heard a air raid siren type scream that ended in
Speaker 3: a very high pitched, almost whistle like sound. That was
Speaker 3: the last noise they had heard since then. I want
Speaker 3: to thank them for sharing. They didn't want it public
Speaker 3: at first, just because of the size of their community,
Speaker 3: so I told them I would just leave it general
Speaker 3: as far as Copper River Valley and just leave it
Speaker 3: at that. So finally they agreed. Now they lived here
Speaker 3: their whole lives mid late forties, never had anything like
Speaker 3: that happen until this instance. They thought all the bigfoot stuff,
Speaker 3: Harry Mann's stuff they had heard over the years through
Speaker 3: the Copper River Valley was all trash garbage. They didn't
Speaker 3: believe any of it. I want to thank them for
Speaker 3: being willing to let me share publicly what I wanted
Speaker 3: to share with you today. Benson and Terry started there
Speaker 3: what was supposed to be an adventure about twenty years ago. Now.
Speaker 3: They were basically going to do some fly fishing for trout.
Speaker 3: They wanted some brookies and some other stuff. They made
Speaker 3: their plans to get an Alaskan adventure. They both used
Speaker 3: to live in Anchorage. Now I believe one is in
Speaker 3: New Mexico and the other ones in Arizona. They didn't
Speaker 3: move because of this. They moved for jobs and family
Speaker 3: after this situations. Keep that in mind. So it started off.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be a week long adventure. They
Speaker 3: got dropped off on the cusco Quim. They had firearms.
Speaker 3: One had a lever action forty five seventy, the other
Speaker 3: twelve gage, and they had a forty four magnum pistol.
Speaker 3: From what Benson shared with me, it started off their
Speaker 3: first day. They were so excited. It was early fall.
Speaker 3: There was still some mosquitoes, not a whole lot, so
Speaker 3: they were basically finding ways of combating the mosquitoes. They
Speaker 3: didn't bring any bug dope or anything, so they had
Speaker 3: biting flies and mosquitoes to deal with. They were going
Speaker 3: along just mitigating the train, trying to figure out the
Speaker 3: best possible movements. Now, in that map, that topographic light,
Speaker 3: it shows a dry creek riverbed running from east to west,
Speaker 3: real squiggily at this point in time twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: So it was not dry. It was anywhere from ankle
Speaker 3: to knee deep going on through there. Now understand, it's
Speaker 3: not that we have crazy rivers up here. What happens
Speaker 3: is during breakup, when the ice is moving out, it'll
Speaker 3: dam up, and at those dam up spots, overflow will
Speaker 3: arc out, come around and continue on down the main channel.
Speaker 3: So that's why you got all these little loop de
Speaker 3: doo's and stuff on the cusca Quid River. It's from
Speaker 3: ice backing up, ice damming and the water finding away.
Speaker 3: They start their journey and they're going down this creek bed.
Speaker 3: The initial point of it. From what Benson was saying,
Speaker 3: there was birds an other wildlife sign for the first
Speaker 3: day and a half. Now they were not in a rush.
Speaker 3: They were going to take their week actually just ten days,
Speaker 3: but they ended up being a week. But they're going
Speaker 3: to take their ten days and make the most of it.
Speaker 3: Do their things, see Alaska, get some adventure in. As
Speaker 3: the second day started, they got up to absolutely no
Speaker 3: sound whatsoever. It was dead quiet, and they both got
Speaker 3: the hebgb's and A felt like they were being watched.
Speaker 3: Now Terry had gone to look around, Benson told them
Speaker 3: don't go too far, jokingly says, if you see anything interesting,
Speaker 3: just let me know. Little did he know what was
Speaker 3: about to happen, because Terry walks off and he's gone
Speaker 3: twenty minutes. He makes his way through brush and stuff,
Speaker 3: and it starts to open up into some tundra, probably
Speaker 3: seventy five yards away from this creek. Terry said that
Speaker 3: as soon as he bus threw the shrubs into where
Speaker 3: it opens up, one hundred and twenty yards in front
Speaker 3: of him, this figure was standing looking at him dumbfounded.
Speaker 3: He said he couldn't make out the full expression on
Speaker 3: a creature's face because it was silhouetted. The way the
Speaker 3: sun was coming up, he could tell it was looking
Speaker 3: right at him and just kind of tilted its head
Speaker 3: to the side, like what am I looking at while
Speaker 3: he's tilting his head like, what the hell am I
Speaker 3: looking at? So Terry said, he cuts back, follows his
Speaker 3: back trail, gets back over there, yells for Benson. Benson
Speaker 3: is tidying up camp and stuff, trying to be bear safe,
Speaker 3: putting away their breakfast stuff and their clean utensils. Terry
Speaker 3: comes pale as ghost saying, hey, there's a big dude
Speaker 3: over there. Let's go talk to him. Because where it's
Speaker 3: in open tundra, there's nothing to assess its height. There
Speaker 3: was no little trees or shrubs near it for him
Speaker 3: to get a good guests mint on height. He just
Speaker 3: assumed it was a big dude and assumed he was
Speaker 3: in furs. Now, when Benson and Terry come back through
Speaker 3: the same path, they get into the opening and there's
Speaker 3: nothing there, right, So Terry's I'm telling you it was
Speaker 3: standing over here, so he goes show me. So while
Speaker 3: Benson stood there watching looking around, Terry started walking over
Speaker 3: that direction. It started dawning on him how far away
Speaker 3: it was and started to mentally assess its height. Once
Speaker 3: he starts realizing, wait a minute, this thing was much
Speaker 3: bigger than I thought, he stopped going forward and turns
Speaker 3: around and comes back meets up with Benson. Benson's laughing
Speaker 3: at him, like, what's going on here? What did you see?
Speaker 3: Was it a bear just standing up looking at you. Terry,
Speaker 3: not wanting to be made fun of, was like, probably
Speaker 3: that's probably what it was, with the light and everything,
Speaker 3: which it was clear that morning, but he just went
Speaker 3: along with it. Must have been a bear stood up,
Speaker 3: looked at me, freaked me out, whatever, so he let
Speaker 3: it go. They continue on about their day. They continue
Speaker 3: hiking that creek. As they're hiking along that creek, they
Speaker 3: make it between and halfway distance between the first marker
Speaker 3: with the red dot and the second marker with the
Speaker 3: red dot, and that's where they camp for their third night. Now,
Speaker 3: from what Terry said, as they were getting ready to
Speaker 3: strike camp, he kept feeling like he was being watched.
Speaker 3: It ended up to where he got so creeped out
Speaker 3: he moved the tent as close to the water's edge
Speaker 3: as possible while Benson was doing other stuff. Benson was
Speaker 3: setting up a little cooking area, so he wasn't really
Speaker 3: paying attention to what Terry was doing. And then I
Speaker 3: guess they got into a little bit of an argument
Speaker 3: once Benson saw how close to the water he was
Speaker 3: putting these tints up, so hey, hey, we can't be
Speaker 3: that close. If the big rain happens overnight, we could
Speaker 3: get potentially flooded out or whatever, and we could lose gear.
Speaker 3: And Terry's look, I feel like I'm being watched. I'm
Speaker 3: getting the creeps over here by this brush. Benson assures him, Hey, look,
Speaker 3: it's probably just that bear being curious. It's already seen us.
Speaker 3: It's probably just young and following us around. If it
Speaker 3: comes in on us, then we'll take care of it.
Speaker 3: If not, then we'll leave it be. Terry agrees, goes
Speaker 3: on with what he was doing, changes the area of
Speaker 3: which he set up the tent. What he ended up
Speaker 3: doing was taking some of his fishing line, taking empty cans,
Speaker 3: and making an early alarm system, early warning system, a
Speaker 3: little trip wire, if you will, with cans attached to
Speaker 3: the end of it. He had it laid out so
Speaker 3: whatever tripped on this in coming out of the brush,
Speaker 3: it would jingle cans right next to the tent. So
Speaker 3: while Benson was cooking, Terry was setting up his little
Speaker 3: early warning system, and Benson gave him, shit, He's looked
Speaker 3: that bearer gonna come in on us. We'll wash the
Speaker 3: food trays. We'll be good. So that night they're sitting
Speaker 3: around the campfire. They're both pretty tired and beat up
Speaker 3: and bug bitten. They want to call it. Just as
Speaker 3: it was starting to get dark, probably between eleven and midnight,
Speaker 3: they decide they're going to crawl into the tent. No
Speaker 3: sooner than the tent was zipped, they heard the cans jingle.
Speaker 3: So immediately Terry is jumping up to unzip and stuff,
Speaker 3: and Benson says, hey, we just got in the tent.
Speaker 3: We probably bumped it and jingled the cans calmed down,
Speaker 3: Terry calmed down, and from what Terry said, he had
Speaker 3: an ominous feeling. He couldn't explain it. He didn't know why,
Speaker 3: but he just kept getting this ominous feeling. Now, of
Speaker 3: the two, Terry smokes. A little bit later, Terry makes
Speaker 3: the excuse, I'm going to step out and smoke a
Speaker 3: cigarette and make sure that fire is dying down or whatever.
Speaker 3: And Benson was already half asleep and said, all right.
Speaker 3: Terry gets outside. He's on high alert. He's sitting there
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what made the cans jingle, because
Speaker 3: they didn't bump the tent enough, and the way he
Speaker 3: had it set up, he knew that them getting in
Speaker 3: the tent wasn't going to jingle the cans, and so
Speaker 3: he was real curious. So he's sitting there watching the
Speaker 3: tree line. Behind him is the little creek and it's running.
Speaker 3: It's making a little bit of noise, not a whole lot.
Speaker 3: It wasn't very fast moving, so he said. As he
Speaker 3: was watching the trees in front of him in the brush,
Speaker 3: he was looking at every shadow, studying it real hard.
Speaker 3: He had the forty four magnum. His rifle was right
Speaker 3: inside the tent, but he had a firearm and he
Speaker 3: felt secure, he said, on the little log and was
Speaker 3: smoking a cigarette, just studying real hard. He realized he
Speaker 3: was hearing a weird noise and it was coming from
Speaker 3: like in the water, and.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back after the east messages.
Speaker 3: Sounded like someone moving through the water. So immediately he's
Speaker 3: aw backtracking us and figured, I'm going to get to
Speaker 3: drop on this bear because the noise was coming from
Speaker 3: the opposite side of the tent from what he said,
Speaker 3: So he keeps around to the side and jumps out, going,
Speaker 3: ah yeah, just yelling, trying to scare of what he
Speaker 3: thought was going to be a bear off. Right, That's
Speaker 3: not what was in the water. This thing was standing
Speaker 3: about midway in the creek staring at him while he's
Speaker 3: yelling and stuff. Didn't flinch, didn't make a move, wasn't
Speaker 3: intimidated in the least bit. He said. It was about
Speaker 3: eight and a half foot tall, from the best he
Speaker 3: could guess because it was in the water and he
Speaker 3: wasn't sure exactly how deep the water was there, so
Speaker 3: eight eight and a half foot out of the water.
Speaker 3: As he's sitting there dumbfounded, Benson heard him scream and
Speaker 3: holler he's making a fuss. Because Benson's a little older
Speaker 3: than Terry. Didn't want to be dealing with Terry and
Speaker 3: Shenanigans are bullshit, you know what I mean. He's cussing
Speaker 3: of fussing, And as Benson starts moving in the tent,
Speaker 3: basically coming out of the tent, this thing hears that,
Speaker 3: and when Benson comes out, it turns around and walks
Speaker 3: away from them. Benson was only able to see the
Speaker 3: back end of this thing going up over the bank
Speaker 3: into the brush. From what Benson said, he did not
Speaker 3: see what Terry did at that moment. All he saw
Speaker 3: was something dark going into the brush line, fair enough,
Speaker 3: He didn't full on see it. So Terry's telling him
Speaker 3: what he saw. He said, this thing is huge, at
Speaker 3: least eight eight and a half foot tall, standing in
Speaker 3: the water there. I yelled at it. It did nothing.
Speaker 3: You came out and tell him the whole thing, Benson is,
Speaker 3: his curiosity's peaked, and he doesn't fully believe that's what
Speaker 3: Terry saw. He believes Terry saw something. He's just not
Speaker 3: sure if he was misidentifying a young juvenile bear standing up.
Speaker 3: That's what Benson had stuck in his head, right, He goes,
Speaker 3: I had a bear stuck in my head. As he's
Speaker 3: chastising Terry a little bit, he tells him, next time
Speaker 3: you see that bear, you fn't shoot that thing. It's
Speaker 3: obviously stalking us. It's a good enough reade. We'll just
Speaker 3: we'll shoot it. We'll report it whatever. Terry's okay. I
Speaker 3: didn't want to do that, but I will. As they
Speaker 3: try to go back to sleep, which was very difficult
Speaker 3: for Terry, Benson wasn't as startled as Terry's Benson said
Speaker 3: he went right to sleep, and so he decided I'll
Speaker 3: just I'll crash out. In all honesty, from what Benson said,
Speaker 3: he was exhausted, biting off bugs, trumpling through the water.
Speaker 3: It was taking a toll on him. He wasn't used
Speaker 3: to backpacking around with a bunch of gear, so I
Speaker 3: was catching up with them. So Terry, once he did
Speaker 3: fall back asleep, he woke up hours later with those
Speaker 3: cans rattling. He jumps up. He's in a panic. He
Speaker 3: comes stumbling out of the tent. He's trying to drag
Speaker 3: his rifle behind him, and Benson accidentally tripped over his
Speaker 3: trip line and spilled breakfast. Benson was not happy. He
Speaker 3: was cussing Terry out. They had a little bit of
Speaker 3: an argument. Benson had to remake breakfast and wasn't happy
Speaker 3: about that. It was a bad start to their morning.
Speaker 3: As they're getting what is left of their breakfast done that,
Speaker 3: they start hearing weird noises off in the distance. They're like, wow,
Speaker 3: that's weird. They couldn't make it out. They were suspecting
Speaker 3: maybe a coyote, but there was a lower tone to it.
Speaker 3: They couldn't quite place, so they just left it at
Speaker 3: that because it was far enough away it wasn't of
Speaker 3: immediate concern. Now, when they continued hiking, they start coming
Speaker 3: across these strange tracks that they could see across the creek,
Speaker 3: and the particular part they were on, they just got
Speaker 3: over this tight bend. They could see impressions in the
Speaker 3: gravelly dirt at a cutbank, and they're like, ah, it
Speaker 3: looks like that bear was walking this way. So they
Speaker 3: didn't go and examine the tracks, but they were large.
Speaker 3: Benson was going with bear, and Terry wasn't going to
Speaker 3: argue it because he know what he saw. He figured
Speaker 3: the way this thing was showing itself from what Terry said,
Speaker 3: Benson would have aually see it. They continued on the
Speaker 3: beginning of day four is when they saw the tracks
Speaker 3: on the creek bank across from them. Uneventful, very quiet,
Speaker 3: they said, for day five and six, until going towards
Speaker 3: the end of day six. Now they had made some ground,
Speaker 3: they retired. They said they got two good nights of
Speaker 3: really good sleep just from the hiking that they were doing.
Speaker 3: Very terrain from sandy muddy to rocky pebbly cobblestone, light
Speaker 3: and threw brush sometimes when they had to find a
Speaker 3: way around the creek because it just wasn't conducive for
Speaker 3: hiking through. Just as they were setting up camp on
Speaker 3: day six, Vincent had to go and check some things out.
Speaker 3: It had been hearing a weird whistle click sound, and
Speaker 3: they said it seemed like it was directed at me.
Speaker 3: He kept thinking Terry was trying to get his attention,
Speaker 3: but Terry was right in front of him when he's
Speaker 3: hearing this, and the noise was coming from Benson's left,
Speaker 3: So finally he he's I'm gonna go check out over here,
Speaker 3: and Terry sat down and lit a cigarette becau. They
Speaker 3: were in the middle of popping the tent up and
Speaker 3: they're taking a quick break. As Terry smoking a cigarette,
Speaker 3: Benson walks off to his left, which would be approximately
Speaker 3: due south. Now. As he's walking due south, he gets
Speaker 3: maybe fifty feet away from where Terry was sitting, and
Speaker 3: Terry could see him clearly. He hadn't gone into the
Speaker 3: trees yet. Benson hears that kind of a weird chatter,
Speaker 3: kind of sound like click popping, a little bit of
Speaker 3: a whistle, slightest whistle, and it was really intriguing. He
Speaker 3: doesn't know why, but it really struck him and caught
Speaker 3: his attention, and he was so curious about it, he said,
Speaker 3: reflecting back on it, he felt like he was almost
Speaker 3: hypnotized as strong, but enchanted. He enchanted by this whistle sound.
Speaker 3: It was very melodic. It had a certain melody to
Speaker 3: it that was a bit soothing, you know, from what
Speaker 3: Benson was saying. So he turns and yells back at Terry, Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm going to head off this way, just a little way.
Speaker 3: If i'm not back in two minutes, come looking for me.
Speaker 3: Terry's I'll come with you now. So Terry puts out
Speaker 3: his cigarette, grabs this forty five seventy, and starts following Benson. Now, Benson,
Speaker 3: according to what Terry said, was maybe thirty five forty
Speaker 3: feet in front of him, clearly visible. They were approaching
Speaker 3: the tree line, and as they got closer to the
Speaker 3: tree line, Terry said, Benson stopped, got down on his
Speaker 3: knees and had his head turned and was staring into
Speaker 3: the brush. Terry was confused by it. He thought maybe
Speaker 3: his friend was having some medical issue or something. He said.
Speaker 3: He trotted up, set his rifle down and was looking
Speaker 3: at him and Benson looked like he was almost in
Speaker 3: a trance. He was slack jawed, mouthed open, just staring
Speaker 3: into the brush. Terry nudges him with his knee, Hey,
Speaker 3: snap out of it. Snap out of it. Shakes him
Speaker 3: a little bit, and Benson looks at him like, hey,
Speaker 3: what the hell? And from what Benson said, when he
Speaker 3: was approaching the brush, everything went blank. He doesn't know
Speaker 3: what was going on for a brief couple moments until
Speaker 3: Terry was nudging him, and then he realized he was
Speaker 3: on his knees and was staring into the brush, so
Speaker 3: he stands up. That was weird. They both got the ebgbis,
Speaker 3: so they decided, Hey, let's not go into the bush.
Speaker 3: Let's just get back over here to camp. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: set up my string cans and all that stuff again,
Speaker 3: and we'll get our sleep and continue on. And they
Speaker 3: couldn't shake the creepy feeling. From what Terry said, he
Speaker 3: is usually a calm, collected guy, and Benson even more.
Speaker 3: It takes a lot to get their pulse rate up.
Speaker 3: But from that point they were high tension. They were
Speaker 3: arguing amongst each other for nothing until they caught onto
Speaker 3: it and realize, hey, we're hyper sensitive. Let's not take
Speaker 3: it out on each other. We're here in this together.
Speaker 3: As they're sitting there by their campfire, they made a
Speaker 3: habit or not staring at the campfire, but letting it
Speaker 3: be in their peripheral so they could watch the surroundings.
Speaker 3: They said it was really hard to even attempt to
Speaker 3: go into the tent because they kept hearing movement just
Speaker 3: out of eyesight, and it sounded like big movement, but
Speaker 3: they could not pinpoint what it was. Benson, because he
Speaker 3: hadn't really seen anything yet, reverted back to saying that
Speaker 3: bear must be back, so let's be ready. Let's just
Speaker 3: put it down. It hasn't lost interest in us, so
Speaker 3: it's fixated on us. We need to put this bear down.
Speaker 3: Terry knew it wasn't a bear. He had seen it twice,
Speaker 3: said I don't think that's a good idea that we'll
Speaker 3: go shooting at this thing unless we need to. Terry reiterates, Hey, Benson,
Speaker 3: I know you think it's a bear, but look, this
Speaker 3: is what I saw. First time I saw it was
Speaker 3: on two legs. Second time I saw it was on
Speaker 3: two legs. It walked away on two legs. It swayed
Speaker 3: its arms like a man. It was shaped like a man,
Speaker 3: a big man. Benson starts to realize that Terry's not
Speaker 3: just trying to mess with them. As he realizes that
Speaker 3: Terry's really not trying to pull his leg aboup this
Speaker 3: whole man thing, he starts asking the questions about his
Speaker 3: features and this and that, and again there wasn't much
Speaker 3: to add other than it was shaped like a man,
Speaker 3: moved like a man, was on two feet large. They
Speaker 3: hadn't seen any details. They had brought one flashlight with
Speaker 3: them because that time of year, it wasn't a whole
Speaker 3: lot of darkness, just a handful of hours at night,
Speaker 3: and they were sleeping during that time, and they only
Speaker 3: brought one because you know, it's just what all they
Speaker 3: needed in their own minds at the time. So they
Speaker 3: get the flashlight out because it's getting on into dark
Speaker 3: and they're still highly uncomfortable. They can't and fathom going
Speaker 3: to lay down yet, Benson said something struck and funny.
Speaker 3: As he was sitting there facing Terry to stand up
Speaker 3: and look behind you. Benson happened to have that flashlight.
Speaker 3: So he stands up and turns on the flashlight beaming
Speaker 3: in the same general direction that he initially started walking
Speaker 3: at fell in that weird trance as soon as he
Speaker 3: turned on the flashlight. They said it had ash and
Speaker 3: gray skin. It was squatted down. It was just about
Speaker 3: twenty feet outside of camp, where the firelight wasn't illuminating
Speaker 3: it at all. Bright red eyeshine ashen gray skin. They
Speaker 3: said his face was real, real wrinkly, a lot of
Speaker 3: fine wrinkles, and I've seen the same thing myself, but
Speaker 3: they couldn't tell what color the eyes worked because they
Speaker 3: were reflecting eyeshine right red eyeshine. They said the knees
Speaker 3: looked like they had some kind of calluses on them,
Speaker 3: the way it was squatted down, and its hands were
Speaker 3: hw mongous because it put up one hand kind of
Speaker 3: trying to block the light a little bit, and started
Speaker 3: showing its teeth. They said, big block teeth, like a horse.
Speaker 3: The jaw looked really wide compared to the top of
Speaker 3: the head, and the eyes were pretty wide set. They
Speaker 3: said it almost looked like someone wearing a parka with
Speaker 3: a rough around it, because it looked like a rounded head,
Speaker 3: but with a hair rough around, like they were wearing
Speaker 3: a hood with the fur rough around it once he
Speaker 3: beamed it and it put his hand up, showed his
Speaker 3: teeth a little bit. It stood up, they said. When
Speaker 3: it stood up, it was all of its massiveness was
Speaker 3: shown in that moment. Right Terry was immediately on his feet,
Speaker 3: had his rifle in his hand and was pointing at this,
Speaker 3: saying and as soon as he leveled his rifle at
Speaker 3: this saying, it screamed. Benson fell down from the scream
Speaker 3: startled the shit out him because he was in shock.
Speaker 3: Terry fires a shot off. The screaming was still going
Speaker 3: on as all. It was all commotion. So there's screaming,
Speaker 3: a gunshot fires off. Benson hits the ground, scrambling to
Speaker 3: pick up the flashlight beams back over there again. Terry's
Speaker 3: standing next to him at this point saying, holy, I
Speaker 3: told you, I told you, And Vince was like, calmed down,
Speaker 3: I seen it. Vince said he thought he was going
Speaker 3: to have a heart attack. He was struggling to calm
Speaker 3: himself down so he didn't have a heart attack. He
Speaker 3: was in his late fifties at the time. He felt
Speaker 3: that surgeon that adrenaline like a ton of bricks on
Speaker 3: his chest. So he calms down and they hear noises
Speaker 3: way off in the disc they guess to made a
Speaker 3: couple hundred yards scream, sound like stuff breaking, trees breaking
Speaker 3: and all this stuff. And they didn't know what in
Speaker 3: hell to do. It's just them two on this creek
Speaker 3: bed with a tent on a couple of firearms. They
Speaker 3: were dumb struck. They did not know what to do.
Speaker 3: Their meeting point was days away. They still had approximately
Speaker 3: four days left before their friend was supposed to be
Speaker 3: going back and forth on the portion of the river
Speaker 3: to pick them up. Where their designated meet up point
Speaker 3: wasn't so. Vincent said that him and Terry sat there
Speaker 3: back to back after they collected some firewood, shouldered or
Speaker 3: shoulder with the flashlights, and they kept feeding the fire
Speaker 3: in the darkest point of the night, back to back
Speaker 3: the whole time. They said, three separate times this thing
Speaker 3: came in on them, almost like probing the boundaries, probing
Speaker 3: how close they could get. They suspect that Terry really
Speaker 3: pissed it off. They said it when they saw it
Speaker 3: these few times, as it would almost like press towards them,
Speaker 3: they would pop off some shots, not trying to kill it,
Speaker 3: but trying to wish shots pasted it to scare it away.
Speaker 3: Every time they would do that, it kept looking like
Speaker 3: it was favoring one arm. It had one arm, it
Speaker 3: wasn't using it like they thought it would. So they
Speaker 3: suspected that maybe Terry when he fired when Benson fell down,
Speaker 3: that maybe it struck its arm. They still don't know,
Speaker 3: and probably never will. There's no way to figure that out.
Speaker 3: So as this happened, they said three to four times,
Speaker 3: they were getting really worn out by the last time
Speaker 3: it happened, they said. The last time it happened, it
Speaker 3: came in from the backside of their tent, where they
Speaker 3: didn't have eyes on it at the moment. They kept
Speaker 3: looking at the spot where it kept coming from, emerging
Speaker 3: from the direction that Benson had gotten a little hypnotized
Speaker 3: and off to their right hand side. So all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, up to their immediate left, where the tent was,
Speaker 3: the tent goes flying. Benson said that this thing grabbed
Speaker 3: it by the top and flung their tent awaif in
Speaker 3: the direction directly away from them, and it just flew
Speaker 3: out of sight. He said. It happened so fast, he said,
Speaker 3: had they been inside the tent, they probably would have
Speaker 3: flown thirty yards. It flung and with it being a
Speaker 3: nylon tent, it didn't go all that far, but it
Speaker 3: was fast. It was very powerful the way it was
Speaker 3: just cinched and ripped out of the ground. The guidelines
Speaker 3: were all snapped in a heartbeat. The can stringline that
Speaker 3: was attached to a tent went laying flaing after it
Speaker 3: into the water and stuff. They stand there shot per
Speaker 3: second as this thing is standing there as well, looking
Speaker 3: right at them. They said it was very forceful, like
Speaker 3: it was challenging them. They said. At this point they
Speaker 3: opened up directly at it, started firing shots, and after
Speaker 3: the first couple shots broke, this thing was already hauling
Speaker 3: ass away. They said. It was heading due south when
Speaker 3: they stopped firing, and.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: So they sat there and sat there. Benson picked up
Speaker 3: smoking for a little bit that night, got a cigarette
Speaker 3: or two from Terry. Stressed out they don't drink, so
Speaker 3: they didn't have any little party favors or anything like
Speaker 3: that along with the mini brown water. So they sat
Speaker 3: until it was light enough in the morning and they
Speaker 3: started heading due west. That was the morning of day
Speaker 3: seven that they started heading due west. They made it
Speaker 3: to the river after about five hours of sitting there.
Speaker 3: Now in the meantime, as they were traveling, and as
Speaker 3: they got to the river, they heard the screams and
Speaker 3: weird yells periodically to the south of them. They said,
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell how far, but it was a loud
Speaker 3: So as they got to the river's edge and they
Speaker 3: were sitting there, an elderly man and an elderly lady
Speaker 3: skipped by, and they waved, and they were trying to
Speaker 3: flag them down. The elders waved and continued on, and
Speaker 3: they're like, shit, if there was someone out on the river,
Speaker 3: there'll be someone else out on the river. They sat
Speaker 3: there look a good few hours. And a little while later,
Speaker 3: a younger guy in the same skiff that the elderly
Speaker 3: people were in came zipping down river, spotted them, turned
Speaker 3: around and come up. They told them who they were,
Speaker 3: who their friend was that dropped them off. They happened
Speaker 3: to be relatives. Just get in. What's going on? You
Speaker 3: guys weren't supposed to be ready for a few more days.
Speaker 3: They tell him what happened. The younger guy just chuckled,
Speaker 3: didn't respond to it, left it alone. Benson said that
Speaker 3: when he talked to his friend that had dropped him
Speaker 3: off the week before for them to start this journey.
Speaker 3: It wasn't until he was meeting back up with his
Speaker 3: friend that he remembered the advice his friend gave him,
Speaker 3: and he blew it off. It meant nothing in the
Speaker 3: moment until after the fact, right his friend told him
Speaker 3: his native friend told him, do not mess with the Harryman.
Speaker 3: Left it at that. Benson thought nothing of it, didn't
Speaker 3: even mention it to Terry. Didn't even think nothing about
Speaker 3: the Harryman. It wasn't until everything was done he remembered that,
Speaker 3: I want to thank Bencent. It took a while to
Speaker 3: get this coordinated because they live in two different states
Speaker 3: and have two different lives. At this point, they're still
Speaker 3: good friends. They didn't lose their friendship or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Thank you guys for joining me. We'll catch you on
Speaker 3: the next one. They say, you don't gotta go home,
Speaker 3: but you can't stay. And I don't want to feel a.
Speaker 2: World up it sis.
Speaker 1: Try this chart.
Speaker 3: That chart everything calling right back, right back. Joy for me.
Speaker 1: I need enjoy.
Speaker 3: Staying right there, come.
Speaker 1: In right away. Still, study starts stas sassa, Still
