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? My dog. We're flying through there over
Speaker 2: the tree. I don't know how it did it? Okay, Damn,
Speaker 2: I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming
Speaker 2: over the fence and name was dead once you hit
Speaker 2: the ground. I didn't see any cars. All I saw
Speaker 2: was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what are
Speaker 2: you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around
Speaker 2: out here? Did you see what it was? It was
Speaker 2: enough out here looking him near the window now and
Speaker 2: I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside.
Speaker 2: Indeed is point you're right, Kara y Hello, hit theboddy
Speaker 2: out here? What went on out there? It's thought of
Speaker 2: a bit of about sixty nine. I don't know. Easy
Speaker 2: him out there. Yeah, I'm woking right.
Speaker 3: Ahead, Oh, Readings. What I wanted to share with you
Speaker 3: today comes from Kieren and James. They had their sixteen
Speaker 3: year old son with them. Kieren and James used to
Speaker 3: live near the cash Whitna River. One of James is
Speaker 3: things that he wanted to always do was go back
Speaker 3: up in there. Because the cash cuts into the mountains,
Speaker 3: it has all these little finger valleys, and James wanted
Speaker 3: to do some prospecting. He wanted to look for gold.
Speaker 3: He had a metal detector. He wanted to maybe strike
Speaker 3: it rich, maybe find a little gold and have a
Speaker 3: story or whatever. And since his son was sixteen, they decided, okay,
Speaker 3: let's make it happen. Now, this is approximately ten years ago.
Speaker 3: If you google it, the cash Wit it's pretty rough.
Speaker 3: It's pretty hairy. Once you get back up in there.
Speaker 3: A lot of rocks in the rivers, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of whitewater and whatnot. So what they ended up doing
Speaker 3: was taking time and hiking back in there. That is
Speaker 3: a whole lot of bushwhacken. From what James said, it
Speaker 3: was one of the most trying adventures of his life.
Speaker 3: He said, initially he knew what he was getting into,
Speaker 3: but once he got into the tangles of the alders
Speaker 3: and the willows, it was just miserable trying to fight
Speaker 3: through there. So they make it up. It took a
Speaker 3: couple of days. They took their time. Karen was nursing
Speaker 3: a knee surgery from a couple of years prior, so
Speaker 3: they were taking it easy for her sake. James and
Speaker 3: his son, they were eager to get up in there,
Speaker 3: and his son wasn't too into it. I loved the outdoors,
Speaker 3: but he knew what they were getting into as well,
Speaker 3: and he wasn't looking forward to the arduous hiking around.
Speaker 3: They found some game trails. Some of it was made
Speaker 3: easier with the game trails and whatnot, but a large
Speaker 3: portion was pretty miserable, going a lot of rain. Initially,
Speaker 3: he said, once they got back up to these twin
Speaker 3: finger valleys, they were going to start up the one
Speaker 3: that was off to the left, but at that time
Speaker 3: it was just two dance. They went up a little
Speaker 3: ways and it was miserable, so they decided to go
Speaker 3: to the one to the right. Now, the one to
Speaker 3: the right had a fast flooring creek that was fed
Speaker 3: by the mountains. He said, the water was great. They
Speaker 3: drank the water. It was a good time. Once they
Speaker 3: got to the location, they were out there for four
Speaker 3: days initially. On the morning of the fifth day they
Speaker 3: were going back up in there. He had found some flakes,
Speaker 3: enough little flakes to really wet the appetite, and he
Speaker 3: wanted to get up to where he thought maybe there'd
Speaker 3: be some nuggets hiding out. So Karen waited at camp,
Speaker 3: bear guns and all that. They've been around the block
Speaker 3: enough times to know, protect yourself. James and the sun
Speaker 3: start heading up this creek. Now, of course, twenty twenty hindsight,
Speaker 3: Karen should not have been left alone. They know that
Speaker 3: him and his son hit up this creek. You got
Speaker 3: to understand exactly holy shit, twisted tangled mess crawling in
Speaker 3: through there. Him and his boy had on chest waiters.
Speaker 3: James was in the lead, and they get about a
Speaker 3: half mile outside of camp. He said the sun hadn't
Speaker 3: come up over the mountains yet, but it was still
Speaker 3: plenty of light. Everything was silhouetted, the trees and stuff
Speaker 3: were still dark. Initially there were songbirds. The rain wasn't
Speaker 3: too bad, but because of the rain prior to a
Speaker 3: lot of it was still seeping out of the mountains
Speaker 3: and making that little creek. They were going up ravenous
Speaker 3: at times, really rough at times, so they were poking
Speaker 3: in that out. They'd walk along the creek and then
Speaker 3: get up into the brush and go around the real
Speaker 3: rough spots where it was just whitewater. Welopping around as
Speaker 3: they were just setting up, because he was using his
Speaker 3: metal detector getting around the rocks and the creek and stuff,
Speaker 3: and he had got a signal he got a hit
Speaker 3: and he was like, all right, good, and he looks
Speaker 3: back at his son and tells him, hey, dig out
Speaker 3: my speede out of that bucket. It's the yellow bucket.
Speaker 3: And as he's talking to his son, he's looking red
Speaker 3: at him, and his son's just on the bank from
Speaker 3: the creek, like six feet away behind his boy. He
Speaker 3: sees something odd, so his son's facing him, going there
Speaker 3: was three different spades that James was using, so his
Speaker 3: son was like this one doing this number, and James
Speaker 3: isn't answering him. He's looking at him but looking past him.
Speaker 3: His son was holding the rifle. It was slung over
Speaker 3: his shoulder. James was doing his thing with the metal detector,
Speaker 3: so they're like okay. James was mentally going, okay, how
Speaker 3: do I approach this. I don't know what that is
Speaker 3: behind him. I don't want to scare him, but he
Speaker 3: needs to know, and he calls him over. He goes,
Speaker 3: bring that one, just bring that one to get him
Speaker 3: to come to him without startling him about what was
Speaker 3: behind him, because at that point James did not know.
Speaker 3: All he saw was something odd. He knew it didn't fit.
Speaker 3: He said, it was like a reddish brown color, almost
Speaker 3: like a Saint Bernard. So he gets his boy to
Speaker 3: come over to him and he says, hey, unsling that rifle.
Speaker 3: Unsling's a seven millimeter magnum, hands it to him. He goes, oh,
Speaker 3: is there a bear? His son starts looking off behind James.
Speaker 3: So this thing's behind his boy, and his boy's looking
Speaker 3: up and down and looking around for bear. Sign hens
Speaker 3: James the rifle. James immediately starts yelling get back. His
Speaker 3: son's thrown off because up to this point, his boy
Speaker 3: just handed him his rifle, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: James is yelling at the river bank. So his son
Speaker 3: was like, what's wrong with you? What's going on? His
Speaker 3: son is freaked out because now his dad's yelling. He's
Speaker 3: trying to figure out why is my dad yelling. James
Speaker 3: is looking back and he said once his son turned
Speaker 3: around and was on his shoulder asking him, and he
Speaker 3: James is pointing at this thing, and this thing was
Speaker 3: just ten feet behind his son, roughly barely obscured. Initially,
Speaker 3: once his son moved, he got a bitter look at it.
Speaker 3: He could see the eyes looking at him from the
Speaker 3: glint from the daylight. He said, the face was really
Speaker 3: obscured in shadow. But then it stood up up, he said.
Speaker 3: When it stood up, his son fell back in the water, startled,
Speaker 3: and was trying to run into the brush the other way.
Speaker 3: James took a couple steps back and told him stop running.
Speaker 3: Stop running. His son's soaking wet, the water's cold as shit.
Speaker 3: His son's halfway in the brush on the opposite side
Speaker 3: of this little creek, and his son is freaking out
Speaker 3: because this thing's standing there looking at him. And James's
Speaker 3: point in the rifle at this thing. He said it
Speaker 3: did not care, or maybe it didn't realize it had
Speaker 3: a deadly weapon point at that, because it just looked
Speaker 3: at him strange. He said. There was no overt signs
Speaker 3: of aggression. It was just standing there looking at them,
Speaker 3: and he started talking to hey, you need to leave,
Speaker 3: you need to get out of here. You're gonna get shot.
Speaker 3: He said, Initially he didn't understand what was happening. Then
Speaker 3: when it stood up and he saw its features, he
Speaker 3: understood immediately, Okay, that's a sasquatch, that's a harry Man
Speaker 3: again freaked out. He didn't know what to do. He
Speaker 3: was shaking, he was trying to collect his thoughts on
Speaker 3: what to do. Is now this thing is literally on
Speaker 3: their little trail that they had made cutting back up
Speaker 3: in there. He doesn't want to be there. His son's
Speaker 3: already trying to scramble across the creek. You know what
Speaker 3: I mean. He keeps telling the son, stay still, stay still.
Speaker 3: His son tells him, it's staring at me. Make it
Speaker 3: stop staring at me. It's scaring me. This is all chaotic,
Speaker 3: This is all happening like real fast. James takes liberty
Speaker 3: of putting in the rifle down to the bank and
Speaker 3: fires a shot. Once he fires a shot, this thing
Speaker 3: takes off like a bolt back the direction they just
Speaker 3: came up. James said that he never felt so dumb
Speaker 3: in his life because he just scared this thing in
Speaker 3: the direction of his wife, who's all by herself. Immediately,
Speaker 3: he puts the rifle up and fires off two more
Speaker 3: shots real quick, because they had a universal three shot.
Speaker 3: There's an emergency. There's a bear. Nothing about the hearing man,
Speaker 3: but still, they already always had it planned out. If
Speaker 3: you hear three shots, be prepared to something dangerous in
Speaker 3: the area. So thankfully they had that lined out between
Speaker 3: them before they left camp. So he immediately lets off
Speaker 3: the next two shots. In return off in the distance,
Speaker 3: he hears a single shot of recognition from his wife saying, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm armed. I heard you, so be it. So immediately
Speaker 3: they gather up their stuff. He leaves their stuff on
Speaker 3: the bank because they want to move faster right, So
Speaker 3: he gets the son behind him, tells him you stay close,
Speaker 3: hold on to my jacket. I don't want you out
Speaker 3: of my sight. I don't want you any farther than
Speaker 3: right behind me. So him and his son go back
Speaker 3: and it's not easy going. They got to do the
Speaker 3: same thing and reverse walking along the creek, then jump
Speaker 3: back up on the bank, cutting through the brush and
Speaker 3: all that stuff. It was not a skip down the trail.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like that. They get back to the area
Speaker 3: where they were camping, and they don't see his wife.
Speaker 3: James is panics tricken, and their son is yelling out mom.
Speaker 3: What had happened is from Karen's point of view, she
Speaker 3: hears the three shots. She said she almost didn't take
Speaker 3: it serious because the one shot was muffled, then the
Speaker 3: two were loud, but there were still three, so she
Speaker 3: just went with that, she said, as she was looking
Speaker 3: back up the canyon, trying to see what's going on,
Speaker 3: maybe here yelling, screaming or whatever, because again, they're about
Speaker 3: a little over half mile up in there, which in
Speaker 3: the big scheme of things, ain't all that far unless
Speaker 3: it's in the kind of train they were in now,
Speaker 3: she said. After she was listening, she heard brush moving
Speaker 3: hard like crack, a lot of noise, and she knew
Speaker 3: ain't no way her husband or her son was making
Speaker 3: that noise. So what she did was backed down by
Speaker 3: the river bank partial cut bank where they were at,
Speaker 3: which was about forty feet from their camp. She backed
Speaker 3: up and down by the river proper and was using
Speaker 3: the bank as a rifle support for her rifle. She
Speaker 3: had a three hundred wind meg. She was just sitting
Speaker 3: there with the rifle, just waiting for whatever's making and
Speaker 3: all this noise. The wind was in her favor because
Speaker 3: it was blowing right down into her face. She said,
Speaker 3: this think came out of the trees. Was looking around,
Speaker 3: sniffing at the ground, looked at all their stuff. She said.
Speaker 3: It was not rifling through, but moving stuff a little bit,
Speaker 3: just looking at this and that, just checking out the scene.
Speaker 3: And it came across where she was cooking. She had
Speaker 3: a little tripod, just boiling up some hot water for
Speaker 3: tea or whatever else, maybe some ra no noodle soup.
Speaker 3: There was nothing in that pot. But over on their
Speaker 3: little cookstove she had some I think it was like
Speaker 3: chili mac or something like that going for them, just
Speaker 3: ready to go. When they got back they could warm
Speaker 3: it up a little bit and eat or whatever. She said,
Speaker 3: it ignored the chili mac and was fascinated by this
Speaker 3: pot of water over the fire. Said it walked back
Speaker 3: and forth a couple times, was sniff in the air,
Speaker 3: grabbed a stick. This whole time she only saw it briefly,
Speaker 3: facing towards her. She said. The face was black, the
Speaker 3: eyes were beady, real big. She had no real guestimate
Speaker 3: on overall height. She had no clue. According to what
Speaker 3: James said, when it stood up behind this boy on
Speaker 3: the bank. He couldn't say for sure because it was
Speaker 3: on elevated ground, but it had to have been at
Speaker 3: least eight foot tall at least, and his perspective was
Speaker 3: off because he had the low ground right. So she
Speaker 3: watches this thinge grab a stick and goes over and
Speaker 3: is poking into the water with this stick, and she's
Speaker 3: just the whole time she's keeping that rifle on it.
Speaker 3: Karen said that when the thing realized it was being watched,
Speaker 3: it stood straight. She saw the hair along its back
Speaker 3: rays up right what was usually the watchers now being watched,
Speaker 3: and it sensed it. She said, it turned around and
Speaker 3: looked right in her eye, like there was no where
Speaker 3: is this person looking at me. It turned and looked
Speaker 3: her dead in the eye, right off the bat she's
Speaker 3: holding that gun. She said, it just looked at her,
Speaker 3: kind of curious. It turned around headed down river. She
Speaker 3: said about twenty minutes she stayed there. She was just
Speaker 3: in her hiking boots. She was up to her knees
Speaker 3: in this river water on this cutbank, getting cold. But
Speaker 3: she wasn't coming out of the water. So when James
Speaker 3: gets back and he's looking around panic and then she
Speaker 3: shows herself and comes out and they're all just standing there.
Speaker 3: She said that they were dumb bounded. They did not
Speaker 3: know what to do. She said, they gathered up their
Speaker 3: stuff and they gingerly took their time, found the spot
Speaker 3: and got to the other side of the river, which
Speaker 3: she said that they got wet because of the rushing
Speaker 3: water and stuff, but they felt safer across the river
Speaker 3: from this thing because it took off in the direction
Speaker 3: of their back trail from when they came up. James said,
Speaker 3: when they were on the other side, they had reached
Speaker 3: a point where it was real arduous trying to get through.
Speaker 3: They were starting to run into some devil's club and
Speaker 3: other stuff that was making it real hard to get through.
Speaker 3: They were right near the river edge, he said. As
Speaker 3: they were standing there. He said it was approximately maybe
Speaker 3: a mile from their original camp, because they came down
Speaker 3: about a quarter mile, found a space to cross, and
Speaker 3: they got one about another three quarters of a mile
Speaker 3: roughly give or take. They were at this impasse. They
Speaker 3: couldn't really go forward without a whole lot of chopp
Speaker 3: and crap to do. By the way, they only took
Speaker 3: what they needed. They left the other stuff right there
Speaker 3: on the river bank. It was retrieved much later. They're
Speaker 3: at an impass. They're right there at the river bank,
Speaker 3: so James says, We're going to have to go back
Speaker 3: across where we crossed and then go down the trail
Speaker 3: and just be ready and.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. After these messages.
Speaker 3: They make their way back up to the crossing point.
Speaker 3: This thing is standing in the brush across the river
Speaker 3: from where they crossed, just looking at them. James said,
Speaker 3: it showed no sign of aggression. It was just doing
Speaker 3: its head like this. They got low and then all
Speaker 3: they heard was thrash. It took off back towards the
Speaker 3: direction of their camp, and they stood their shot listening
Speaker 3: to this thing move away at a very fast rate.
Speaker 3: They said about ten minutes they sat there. Then they
Speaker 3: heard this thing scream and it sounded like it was
Speaker 3: coming back up one of those finger valleys that he
Speaker 3: was either the one he was in or the one
Speaker 3: next to it. Once they heard the scream, they knew
Speaker 3: it was X amount of distance away, and they felt
Speaker 3: comfortable crossing back and getting out of there. I want
Speaker 3: to thank Karen for sharing her perspective. I had to
Speaker 3: be very patient with her, not that she wasn't forthcoming.
Speaker 3: It was hard for her because every time she relives it.
Speaker 3: She gets racked with emotion because in her mind, she
Speaker 3: was telling me that when she heard this thing thrashing
Speaker 3: back towards camp, and she knew it wasn't her husband
Speaker 3: or her son. The three shots. Initially, she didn't know
Speaker 3: if that was a warning or that's the only three
Speaker 3: shots they got and they're no longer with this kind
Speaker 3: of thing. She wasn't sure if they were killed or whatever.
Speaker 3: That twenty ish minute gap from it looking at her
Speaker 3: and leaving, she was terrified that her family was gone.
Speaker 3: So Kerr retelling me, it brings up that emotion and
Speaker 3: thankfully it appeared to be curious, which there's no expert
Speaker 3: out there to tell us what their intentions were or anything.
Speaker 3: But in all honesty, even James said it didn't show
Speaker 3: any adverse anger or aggression. It wasn't like I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get you. It was nothing like that. He did mention
Speaker 3: that since that time, and this is roughly a decade ago,
Speaker 3: he said, since that time, there's been a couple other
Speaker 3: experiences that he has had up on the Golcana and
Speaker 3: over by Tri Lakes, which south of the d Nali Highway,
Speaker 3: that I've got a bunch of encounters from that area.
Speaker 3: So I want to thank James. I'm going to thank Karen.
Speaker 3: I did not talk to their son. He's no longer
Speaker 3: in the state. He's living outside of Alaska. I don't
Speaker 3: think it's because of this incident. I think it's work
Speaker 3: related or whatever. But I'm going to thank them for
Speaker 3: reaching out, and thank you Karen for being willing to share,
Speaker 3: because obviously it was really difficult for you. What I
Speaker 3: wanted to share with you today comes from a couple
Speaker 3: of gentlemen. They wanted to remain anonymous, so I'll just
Speaker 3: call them the sightseers, the tourists. These two gentlemen, they
Speaker 3: had a friend of theirs out of Juno b. Lowan
Speaker 3: on a boat. What they did is they spent a
Speaker 3: week traveling around June to all the different fjords, all
Speaker 3: the different glaciers, and they ended up over by Bell
Speaker 3: Island Hot Springs, which is an abandoned resort down in
Speaker 3: southeast Alaska. When they were pulling into the bay there,
Speaker 3: there was a couple of kayakers on their way out,
Speaker 3: wave high all that nicey, nice stuff. One of the
Speaker 3: kayakers said, sound like the ladies screaming over there. But
Speaker 3: we couldn't see anything, and the people continued on. This
Speaker 3: was late summer land of the midnight sun. However, once
Speaker 3: you get past June twenty first, you start losing daylight incrementally.
Speaker 3: By mid July, let's say you're getting five hours of
Speaker 3: darkness at night, something like that. This was after ten
Speaker 3: pm when they came into this little harbor, this little
Speaker 3: bay where this abandoned resort is. According to what List
Speaker 3: is calling Michael, because he's the one that reached out,
Speaker 3: so we'll just call one other gentlemen, Michael. He said
Speaker 3: that they decided, because it was a nice quiet harbor,
Speaker 3: they were going to anchor out. They did so, and
Speaker 3: they were enjoying a couple of cold Bruis sitting on
Speaker 3: this boat. As the tide was moving in and out,
Speaker 3: they would swing around and they were just in their
Speaker 3: own little world, enjoying it. He said. Just as it
Speaker 3: was getting on into almost dark, that's when they heard
Speaker 3: a scream, and he said it was loud, it was piercing,
Speaker 3: it hurt their ears. He estimated it was within three
Speaker 3: hundred yards of where they were behind the resort, from
Speaker 3: where they were out in the bay, somewhere up on
Speaker 3: this hillside. Now they didn't know. They're like, okay, they
Speaker 3: yell out, hey, if you need help, say something, but
Speaker 3: dead quiet, not a noise. They heard a couple of
Speaker 3: floatplanes off in the distance over this course of time,
Speaker 3: but no one was immediately around them. They did pass
Speaker 3: a couple people further on out that were camping out
Speaker 3: towards the point or something along those lines. I tried
Speaker 3: to look it up, but which point. There's so many
Speaker 3: different little spits and stuff. But anyway, they were the
Speaker 3: only two there, is my point. So as they were
Speaker 3: sitting there, the stern happened to be facing the resort.
Speaker 3: They had an open view, and it's getting dark. The
Speaker 3: scream happens, and from what Michael said, something changed in
Speaker 3: the air. It went from jovial, enjoying a cold beer
Speaker 3: with your buddy, to all of a sudden, something felt ominous.
Speaker 3: And then they heard another shorter scream. Then they saw
Speaker 3: a movement, but they saw it right at the tree
Speaker 3: line behind this place, and they could not make out
Speaker 3: what it was, but he said it was dark. Whatever
Speaker 3: it was, it was dark because they had really been
Speaker 3: able to pinpoint for what this thing was moving. He said,
Speaker 3: they sat there and watched this thing and it went
Speaker 3: on along right along the tree line and out of sight,
Speaker 3: and they said, well, that was really weird. He said,
Speaker 3: it looked like it was walking on two feet initially,
Speaker 3: but they could not tell for sure. They weren't going looking.
Speaker 3: They drank some beers or anchored out. They're not messing
Speaker 3: with nothing. They got safety by distance and they're out
Speaker 3: in the water. So as they're sitting there discussing what
Speaker 3: the hellica be or whatever, they have some pretty big
Speaker 3: spotlights on this boat, but the boat has to be
Speaker 3: powered on otherwise it'll drain the batteries quick, so just
Speaker 3: keep that in mind. They're sitting there and they hear
Speaker 3: the scream again. Then they're hearing the smacking sound. He said.
Speaker 3: It was this thing running back across, just into the open,
Speaker 3: just outside of the trees, and they heard its feet
Speaker 3: smacking the ground. He said, it was a real weird sound,
Speaker 3: like it was smacking in the mud, muddy grass or something.
Speaker 3: They could barely make out this dark figure moving across.
Speaker 3: They're like, damn, what the hell is this? So they
Speaker 3: sat there curious, talking about what it could be. The
Speaker 3: buddy he was with was like, that's obviously a bigfoot,
Speaker 3: and Michael is like, well, I never seen a bigfoot.
Speaker 3: That's just hokey crap. Right as they sat there, they
Speaker 3: drank a couple more beers. It was quiet for a while.
Speaker 3: Then they heard the scream again, and they heard splashing
Speaker 3: in water, and that they could tell it was somewhere
Speaker 3: between them and shore just by the sheer sound of it.
Speaker 3: So they decide, okay, let's fire off the boat and
Speaker 3: spotlight over there, because whatever this is sounds like it's
Speaker 3: coming out towards the boat. So they fire up. They
Speaker 3: have to watch their line and stuff, and they get
Speaker 3: the boat turned around and they beam the two little
Speaker 3: spotlights they had, and each one is controlled by one
Speaker 3: of those little arms like the copped cars. So he's
Speaker 3: operating one and his buddy's operating one. And Michael said
Speaker 3: he was beaming over towards the abandoned resort, just checking
Speaker 3: around that tree line, and his friend was aiming down
Speaker 3: at the water towards where the shoreline is, and he
Speaker 3: said his friend started freaking out, actually stumbleback, fell off
Speaker 3: the boat, immediately climbed right back into the boat and
Speaker 3: was yelling, it's right over there, it's right over there.
Speaker 3: Michael's confused because he's tending to his friend helping him
Speaker 3: get in the boat, and his friend was panic stricken anicked.
Speaker 3: Michael said, he's been buddies with this guy for twenty
Speaker 3: something years, never seen him that pale and freaked out,
Speaker 3: and his friend's pointing it's right over there in the water.
Speaker 3: So Michael's beaming around. He sees nothing's going back and forth,
Speaker 3: and about twenty five feet away from the boat, he
Speaker 3: catches eyeshine and this thing's looking at him, doing this
Speaker 3: weird kind of swimming motion. It's coming at the boat.
Speaker 3: So he starts freaking out immediately because they didn't have
Speaker 3: no guns or nothing. They had a flare gun and
Speaker 3: that was it. So immediately he's pulled the anchor. Pulled
Speaker 3: the anchor, Michael didn't even have to say that because
Speaker 3: his friend is already initiating the little drive motor to
Speaker 3: winch in the anchor. As doing this, it's pulling them
Speaker 3: closer to this thing, so they're in a conundrum. So
Speaker 3: what Michael says is stop pulling us in because at
Speaker 3: this point it's literally twenty feet away, roughly in the water,
Speaker 3: and they hear it making this weird noise, he said.
Speaker 3: He couldn't even put it in the words. He said,
Speaker 3: it sounded like a sea lion. Had he not seen
Speaker 3: its face, he would have assumed it was a sea
Speaker 3: lion coming over because of the noises it was making.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 3: So what he does is he puts the boat in
Speaker 3: reverse and drags the anchor, and he gains somebody forty
Speaker 3: foot distance or so. Right again, his friends starts wheeling
Speaker 3: in that anchor, and from what Michael said, he was
Speaker 3: really concerned that this thing was actively pursuing them. Even
Speaker 3: though he was doing this weird swim. It was dark,
Speaker 3: so he couldn't really make it out, but he said
Speaker 3: his head was bobbing a lot, had red eyeshine, The
Speaker 3: face looked black, the eyes looked black, and with the
Speaker 3: big spotlight he could see it clearly. He said. The
Speaker 3: hair was matted, looked like Neanderthal in the face, had
Speaker 3: big brow, ridge, real wide set jaw, looked like block
Speaker 3: teeth when it was taking breaths and stuff. As it
Speaker 3: was doing this weird head bobbing swim thing, he couldn't
Speaker 3: make it out because it was dark, but he said
Speaker 3: it was real odd looking the way it was moving,
Speaker 3: and he said it wasn't moving fast, but it was
Speaker 3: moving and it was coming towards him. As his buddy's
Speaker 3: really in this anchor. He sits there and goes, oh,
Speaker 3: because right there, hanging on part of the awning on
Speaker 3: the rear of the boat was this pouch that said
Speaker 3: flare gun. So he unzips it, pulls it out, pops
Speaker 3: one in, and goes, I'm gonna fire this flare, not
Speaker 3: at it, but up in the air and see if
Speaker 3: that brightness will distract it, scared away or whatever. So
Speaker 3: he does that boom, he fires that thing off. He
Speaker 3: said it was a lackluster flare because he said it
Speaker 3: must have went fifty feet up in the air, got
Speaker 3: bright and then he just went right on down into
Speaker 3: the water, which obviously it was a dud. Rounds, there
Speaker 3: was only four. There was one that was loose, and
Speaker 3: there's three others in this little folder. So he pops
Speaker 3: one of those out. He's distracted by doing this, so
Speaker 3: he's not really paying attention. His friend really in the
Speaker 3: anchor gets it in and comes back around from the
Speaker 3: bow and is saying, hey, let's go. Of course, Michael
Speaker 3: said he was clearly not paying attention during the course
Speaker 3: of all this shooting it up and it fizzling out,
Speaker 3: and him being distracted doing this thing. One hand was
Speaker 3: feeling around up on their boat, trying to find a
Speaker 3: place to grab on. His friend put it in reverse.
Speaker 3: They backed up, he said, about maybe another forty yards
Speaker 3: until he told his friend stop, you're going to run
Speaker 3: aground because the way they were backing up was not
Speaker 3: how you wanted to do it. Plus it was dark
Speaker 3: and they had no real good way to see except
Speaker 3: these beams. Michael had him stop, pull forward a little
Speaker 3: bit further out into this little bay and he starts
Speaker 3: beaming back and they see it. At that point when
Speaker 3: they stopped to being back and look, he said, it
Speaker 3: was probably between sixty and eighty yards from them, and
Speaker 3: was obviously heading back away from them. They got into
Speaker 3: about twenty ish feet deep of water something like that,
Speaker 3: and it decided, because they were going from calm water
Speaker 3: into more choppy water, and it was dark out, they
Speaker 3: were not the master navigators, they decided to drop anchor there.
Speaker 3: He said. They weren't pursued any further after that done
Speaker 3: other than noises, and they heard screams throughout the night,
Speaker 3: he said, up until first light there was a scream
Speaker 3: maybe once every hour to two hours, depending and they
Speaker 3: varied in intensity and loudness. He said it was one
Speaker 3: of the scariest moments when he didn't even realize this
Speaker 3: saying had covered that distance while he was dicking around
Speaker 3: with this freaking and the flare gun. Luckily, his buddy
Speaker 3: was paying attention, because he said when he noticed, he
Speaker 3: saw the big hand and felt the boat tilt a
Speaker 3: little bit just as his friend hit it into reverse.
Speaker 3: Damn lucky. Where do you run when you're on a boat?
Speaker 3: Where do you run? Jeez? That would be some freaky stuff.
Speaker 3: I want to thank Michael for sharing that experience. This
Speaker 3: happened not quite ten years ago. I want to thank
Speaker 3: him for reaching out. He's in the medical field. He's
Speaker 3: a doctor, and he was very insistent that his name
Speaker 3: not be used because he's still practicing and all that
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. And I told him I wasn't going
Speaker 3: to use the name. If I did, I'd make it up.
Speaker 3: So he's Michael. This is yet another person who reached
Speaker 3: out because of a subscriber to the channel got a
Speaker 3: hold of them because of what they shared in the past.
Speaker 3: I sincerely appreciate it a lot of these stories going told.
Speaker 3: Michael said that had he not been prompted and checked
Speaker 3: out the channel and saw how many other people were
Speaker 3: having different experiences up here, he said, he probably would
Speaker 3: have just took that to the grave. His friend wouldn't
Speaker 3: even talk about it after that night. He tried to
Speaker 3: bring it up socially, hey remember that crazy night Belle
Speaker 3: Island Hot Springs, and his friend would just be it
Speaker 3: was a beautiful place and would not elaborate on what
Speaker 3: they done out with mentally picturing having this wanching in
Speaker 3: of this anchor and it's pulling you towards the danger.
Speaker 3: That just would not be a fun evening. I want
Speaker 3: to share with you today comes from Allen from Montana.
Speaker 3: Love to fly fish. He had heard stories about trout,
Speaker 3: gray owing, and Dolly Vardones all that in Alaska that
Speaker 3: were as big as your leg. So for a good
Speaker 3: ten years he saved money to go on his dream
Speaker 3: float trip. He wanted to go somewhere remote. He didn't
Speaker 3: know where at the time, but he knew he wanted
Speaker 3: to be remote do some flyfishing in Alaska. He wanted
Speaker 3: to go where the goods are, where the good sized fish.
Speaker 1: Are, and whatnot.
Speaker 3: Unbeknownst to him, he didn't know where he was picking,
Speaker 3: but he picked Little King Salmon River, which his tributary
Speaker 3: to the nu Yekuk River. It's very remote, not very
Speaker 3: many people go there to fish, but that's where he picked.
Speaker 3: He hasn't been back to Alaska since or in the outdoors.
Speaker 3: So to thank Allen for sharing to begin with, because
Speaker 3: it's been about a year trying to get things together
Speaker 3: about this encounter, because he had lost my contact info,
Speaker 3: had stuff going on in the background, and finally able
Speaker 3: to get back a hold of me.
Speaker 1: But anyway, stay tuned for more Sasquatch out to sea.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it. He was going to pay a
Speaker 3: charter service fishing group a lodge potentially, and he saw
Speaker 3: what they were charging and was likeez, So he took
Speaker 3: a couple of years to plan his own trip and
Speaker 3: save a substantial amount of money. Downfall is he would
Speaker 3: not be with a group. He would be dropped off
Speaker 3: by himself and picked up by himself once he reached
Speaker 3: the New Yakuk River. That was his overall plan. So
Speaker 3: his plan was to take a couple of days to
Speaker 3: float the Little King Salmon River down to the New Yeakuk,
Speaker 3: hang out on the New Yekuk until his I would
Speaker 3: pick him up. So he got flown in by float plane,
Speaker 3: dropped off at a small lake that's part of the
Speaker 3: Little Kink Salmon River. And so where he got dropped off,
Speaker 3: he had to sit there. The pilot stayed for a
Speaker 3: little bit, helped him and floated his little floats was
Speaker 3: basically waiters connected to a floaty, and that's what he
Speaker 3: chose to use. No judgment, I personally liked to not
Speaker 3: be a victim of the current and him having the
Speaker 3: legs down in the water. That's a long time to
Speaker 3: be in cold water. Trust me, Even with the neaprems
Speaker 3: and all that stuff, it's still cold as shit. But anyway,
Speaker 3: I only had it figured out. All he had with
Speaker 3: them was a backpacking shotgun, a single shot. It was
Speaker 3: a single shot twelve gauge, and he had three fifty
Speaker 3: seven mag This twelve gauge sat right on his float
Speaker 3: right in front of him. Had one of those pouches
Speaker 3: for his flies, had a sage rod seven footer. He
Speaker 3: had basically a backpacked double bag with a bunch of
Speaker 3: stuff that he basically just kept on his back the
Speaker 3: whole time he was floating. Now, if he had wanted to,
Speaker 3: he could have floated down that thing in no time,
Speaker 3: within the time of an afternoon. But he was taking
Speaker 3: his time, and so he would get to a spot
Speaker 3: it was nice. He would pull himself out of the water,
Speaker 3: shed the low floating and fly fish, and he was
Speaker 3: loving it. He was catching rainbows, catching dolly vardens, grailing,
Speaker 3: He was loving it. He wouldn't keep any of the rainbows,
Speaker 3: but he would keep some of the dolly vardens for
Speaker 3: pan fryars and whatnot. So the first four hours were great.
Speaker 3: He was loving it. Sometimes he would smack a horse fly,
Speaker 3: use at as bait, catching grailing and whatnot, just having
Speaker 3: the time of his life up until he saw something
Speaker 3: across the river. He was standing in some shallow water
Speaker 3: near the gravel on this bake, and he's looking south
Speaker 3: across the Little King Salmon River and he notices what
Speaker 3: he thought was a tree stump, thinking nothing of it.
Speaker 3: It was out of place because it was a big
Speaker 3: tree stump. But there's no big trees around. It's all
Speaker 3: just brush, willows and stuff, right, So he looks at
Speaker 3: a little bit and then he hears a raven making
Speaker 3: raven noises, which, if you don't know what a raven
Speaker 3: sounds like, they sound like crows. It's a larger crow,
Speaker 3: same family, but much bigger, making all these caca noises
Speaker 3: and all this and that. So he figures, oh, there's
Speaker 3: a raven over there. Maybe that's where it's nesting. And
Speaker 3: that's why I'm hearing this noise because he's not seeing
Speaker 3: any ravens, he's not seeing a sign of any raven.
Speaker 3: All he's hearing is the noise. So he's got this
Speaker 3: weird tree stump raven noises. No big deal. He continues
Speaker 3: doing what he's doing. Now he gets onto a fish
Speaker 3: and so he wades out into the water up to
Speaker 3: his knees. He's about eight feet from the opposite bank.
Speaker 3: As he's sitting there fighting this fish and rearing it
Speaker 3: and letting it play itself out, and just as he
Speaker 3: was getting it up close to him to get a
Speaker 3: good look at it, it was a nice rainbow. He said,
Speaker 3: it was probably about a twenty inch rainbow. And he
Speaker 3: was just like, oh, I got to keep this. When
Speaker 3: was what he was thinking. As he's getting it close,
Speaker 3: he has this little net that he keeps on a sling.
Speaker 3: He's scooping down and as he's sliding the net down
Speaker 3: into the water, a rock hits it. Good sized rock
Speaker 3: hits right dead center the net and pops it right
Speaker 3: out of his hand. By happenstance, hit the line too,
Speaker 3: broke the line, so he loses his net from the rock.
Speaker 3: The rock in the net hit the fish on its
Speaker 3: way down. Bus knits loose from the hook, and the
Speaker 3: fish is gone and his net is now at the
Speaker 3: bottom of the river. He's confused as shit because he's
Speaker 3: focused on the fish. All he's got on him. The
Speaker 3: twelve gage is right over there, about twenty feet away,
Speaker 3: he's got three fifty seven. He's basically more focused on
Speaker 3: this net that he's about to lose. He's upset that
Speaker 3: he lost the fish. He's so enthralled in what he's
Speaker 3: doing he doesn't realize a rock just knocked your freaking
Speaker 3: net into the water. And as he's bumbling for it,
Speaker 3: it's all on him because it all happened so fast. Right,
Speaker 3: where's this rock come from? So he immediately spooped. He
Speaker 3: sits up, stands up fully all the way and is
Speaker 3: looking around and he's not seeing anything, so he retreats
Speaker 3: back across screwed the net. What the hell's going on here?
Speaker 3: He's continuing to get his line in on his rod
Speaker 3: and he sets it down, and he's looking around and
Speaker 3: he's trying to figure out what just happened. He's replaying
Speaker 3: it in his head. And Alan said that's when he
Speaker 3: looked up and saw the stump was now directly across
Speaker 3: from him. Looking at it, he said, it was like
Speaker 3: a grizzled black little bit of brown spotches here and
Speaker 3: there had primarily a black looking face, thick eyebridge, and
Speaker 3: the hair was missing from around the eyes up to
Speaker 3: under the nose and around the cheek bones.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: It looked like severely worn black leather, real wrinkly. He said.
Speaker 3: The eyes he couldn't really make out, but they looked
Speaker 3: black from his distance in his respective and it was
Speaker 3: back lit by the sun up in the sky, so
Speaker 3: he was getting a sheeted look at it. He could
Speaker 3: see the glint in the eyes from the daylight. So
Speaker 3: he stares at it a minute. Holy, what the hell
Speaker 3: am I looking at? He said. That's when he made
Speaker 3: eye contact. Is when this thing started ripping brush. Moving
Speaker 3: back and forth, ripping brush out of the ground, started
Speaker 3: making all these weird noises. He said it sounded almost
Speaker 3: like hyenas. He compared it to a video he saw
Speaker 3: on hyenas and African planes and they're all making this
Speaker 3: barkin yappin kind of noise. He said. It was eerily
Speaker 3: similar to that, but different. It was a lot lower
Speaker 3: in tone, but that was the closest thing he could
Speaker 3: compare it to. He said. As it's doing this, he
Speaker 3: is already over sliding into his tube thing because he's
Speaker 3: by himself. He grabs his shotgun, trying to put his
Speaker 3: rod away. He's trying to focus on getting his stuff together,
Speaker 3: and this thing is like maybe thirty feet away doing
Speaker 3: this walking back and forth. He said. It was about
Speaker 3: eight and a half foot tall, about roughly four foot wide.
Speaker 3: He said it wasn't overly tall, but it was robust.
Speaker 3: It was real thick, he said. As he was getting
Speaker 3: into his waiter stuff. Because there was nowhere to run,
Speaker 3: all he could do was float away, and that's what
Speaker 3: he was working. Can you imagine you're by yourself is
Speaker 3: his choice, but you're by yourself. You got this stuff
Speaker 3: happening just feed away from you and you're trying to
Speaker 3: get neoprene waiters on it. I'll pass any day, I
Speaker 3: will pass. So he works hisself into it. Meanwhile, he's
Speaker 3: got the single shotgun next to him. He's got three
Speaker 3: fifty seven out next to the shotgun, and he's looking
Speaker 3: directly across from him as he's working this stuff on.
Speaker 3: He gets it on, he's got his pack on. He's
Speaker 3: doing something with this rod because he's he put it
Speaker 3: back in its case. Now the nerves of steel it
Speaker 3: took to do all this, And I asked him. I
Speaker 3: was like, I don't the hell did you have the
Speaker 3: fortitude to sit there and do that. He was like,
Speaker 3: I didn't have a choice. He said, where was I
Speaker 3: going to run? My only out was water. I wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna out hype this thing. I wasn't gonna outrun it
Speaker 3: fair enough, But that was his mindset at the time.
Speaker 3: Alan very smart guy, former law enforcement, works for the
Speaker 3: Forestry Service as well. He had heard stories in the
Speaker 3: past down Oregon, Washington of sasquatching counters and stuff, but
Speaker 3: they were always spotted and they walked off. Versus what
Speaker 3: he's seeing in front of him, this sink throwing a fit,
Speaker 3: ripping vegetation out of the ground and making all these
Speaker 3: weird noises. He said it was upset at his presence,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't aggressively. It could have easily jumped right
Speaker 3: over and snatched him up, but this thing was staying
Speaker 3: on that bank, ripping stuff and just throwing a fit.
Speaker 3: He gathered up his stuff, he's got it on. He
Speaker 3: put the three fifty seven right in his vest for
Speaker 3: easy access, and he's got this single shot twelve games.
Speaker 3: He said he had never use a single shot gun ever. Again,
Speaker 3: he walks down the bank into where he can get
Speaker 3: into the water, and so he does so, and as
Speaker 3: he does, this sink stops ripping stuff up and is
Speaker 3: standing still watching him. As he's starting to drift away.
Speaker 3: He said, the further he got, as soon as he
Speaker 3: was almost out of view of this thing, it would
Speaker 3: catch up and just stay within view, almost like it's yeah,
Speaker 3: I got to you keep moving. This is what he
Speaker 3: was picking up from it, like it was escorting him out.
Speaker 3: So this goes on for a little bit, and he's
Speaker 3: focusing on this thing and what's going on, and not
Speaker 3: all the stuff, the vegetation around him. He's just not
Speaker 3: paying attention to it. He's got a focus and it's
Speaker 3: over there, and it was just tearing shit up, he said.
Speaker 3: As he floats down, he gets to a point where
Speaker 3: he's not all that far from the mouth of Little
Speaker 3: King Salmon River to where it meets up with the
Speaker 3: nu Yekuk River, which is on like a horseshoe bend,
Speaker 3: and there's a bluff off to the left hand side
Speaker 3: as you come out of the Little King Salmon River,
Speaker 3: So he could see the bluff little ways in the distance,
Speaker 3: and he could see the denser vegetation that he's coming
Speaker 3: up into a batch of trees off to his left,
Speaker 3: and thicker vegetation on the right, and it just gets
Speaker 3: denser and more and more stuff's hanging over the river.
Speaker 3: So he's really feeling claustrophobic as he's getting closer to
Speaker 3: this point, he said. As he got where he stopped
Speaker 3: focusing so much on behind him, he felt like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm out of the area. It's no longer showing itself.
Speaker 3: I'm good. He has the shotgun laid on the little
Speaker 3: floaty and he's got the three fifty seven in his hand,
Speaker 3: and he's literally coming down from the adrenaline dump. He's shaking.
Speaker 3: He's trying to focus. He said. He kept getting this
Speaker 3: tunnel vision and like everything would look surreal. He was
Speaker 3: having hard time keeping track of his thoughts. He said,
Speaker 3: his thoughts were all over the place. Just basically panicking
Speaker 3: is what it boils down to, let's be honest. So
Speaker 3: as he's going along, he said, off to his right
Speaker 3: hand side, he sees this thing again and it's standing
Speaker 3: there and he can't tell what it's holding, but it's
Speaker 3: holding something. And he said, as he's getting closer, he's
Speaker 3: at this point, he's got the hammer cocked on three
Speaker 3: fifty seven pointing in that direction, and this thing's just
Speaker 3: looking at him. And it had some form of stick
Speaker 3: in its hand, he said. Because of the vegetation, he
Speaker 3: couldn't tell if it was broken off, if it had
Speaker 3: been sharpened, he wasn't sure. But this thing raised it
Speaker 3: up like it was about to chuck it at him,
Speaker 3: and he let two shots go.
Speaker 2: Bim.
Speaker 3: He said, it dropped the stick and took off away
Speaker 3: from him in the brush out of sight. Said he's
Speaker 3: pretty sure he hit it. He didn't want to shoot,
Speaker 3: but the way it was lifted up that stick, it's
Speaker 3: go time, he said. He was panicked. He could barely
Speaker 3: touch the ground at this point in the river. So
Speaker 3: he gets over to where he's just tippy torn along,
Speaker 3: trying to twist himself and keep a line of sight
Speaker 3: in the direction because he just shot right. So he's
Speaker 3: twisting around when he's trying to correct way using one hand.
Speaker 3: It is wishing himself around in the water, listening. His
Speaker 3: ears are ringing a little bit from the gunshots, but
Speaker 3: his adrenaline is pumping so hard he's barely noticing it.
Speaker 3: But he's hearing movement, and it's from the direction this
Speaker 3: thing took off, but it's now going off to his
Speaker 3: left because he's facing the opposite river bank, to the
Speaker 3: south side of the river. He's facing that and drifting
Speaker 3: parallel in the river, facing that opposite bank where this
Speaker 3: thing was just standing right. He said he heard it
Speaker 3: moving and just was like, oh man. So as he's floating,
Speaker 3: he pops open his three fifty seven, takes out the
Speaker 3: two empty cartridges, reloads it with two fresh ones, shuts it.
Speaker 3: He has some one hundred and eighty grain wade cutters.
Speaker 3: If you're curous. There he sat holding this three fifty seven.
Speaker 3: He said he wanted to use the shotgun, but it
Speaker 3: was just one shot. Instead, he just held the three
Speaker 3: fifty seven for more shots. Right, So, he's panic stricken.
Speaker 3: He hears this movement. He's trying to figure out what's
Speaker 3: my next move and he has none. He's got to
Speaker 3: float it out. There's no one else from who. At
Speaker 3: one point he did hear a floatplane, but it was
Speaker 3: so far out of view that he wouldn't have gotten nothing.
Speaker 3: He couldn't have flagged it down or none. It was
Speaker 3: just a tiny speck and he could hear the me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he wasn't getting nowhere with that. He gets about another
Speaker 3: bend in the room, and all of a sudden, there
Speaker 3: it is again in the brush. It was lower this time,
Speaker 3: and the brush had that stick again, and it was
Speaker 3: about to do the same thing. He lets off three
Speaker 3: shots this time, he said, the first time he shot
Speaker 3: to hit it. The second time he shot was to
Speaker 3: run it off, because obviously his first two shots didn't
Speaker 3: do shit, and he just wanted to keep it off
Speaker 3: of him till he can get into somewhere more open,
Speaker 3: because at this point he's in dense vegetation on both sides.
Speaker 3: I've been up in that area. I know what it's
Speaker 3: like in those narrow creeks and rivers where his vegetation
Speaker 3: is damn near right on top of you on each side.
Speaker 3: It's just very claustrophobic, especially with what the hell he
Speaker 3: was dealing with. So he shoots the three shots very
Speaker 3: near it. It takes off again. It did not drop
Speaker 3: the stick this time, it took it with it as
Speaker 3: it tore out of the brush. He's listening and again
Speaker 3: he's got the ringing going on from the shots, and
Speaker 3: three fifty sevens it had a four inch barrel is
Speaker 3: real snappy when you shoot them, and so he's struggling
Speaker 3: with the ear ringing and trying to listen and track
Speaker 3: the direction this thing is moving, and he really can't.
Speaker 3: He said he was really wanting to run out of
Speaker 3: his skin and he couldn't. So he continues floating down
Speaker 3: in As he's going, he hears something and he's trying
Speaker 3: to figure it out, and it almost sounded another floatplane,
Speaker 3: and then he's trying to listen, and again the ring's
Speaker 3: going on. So he's having a real hard time with
Speaker 3: all the vegetation and the way the sound's moving. A
Speaker 3: room of endpointing the direction and Finally it becomes clear
Speaker 3: it's an outboard sound going towards the nu Yahkuk right,
Speaker 3: so he's of thank god. He slips the three fifty
Speaker 3: seven into his vest where he can easily grab it
Speaker 3: if he needs to. He slid the shotgun barreled down
Speaker 3: in between the waiters and stuff so it wouldn't fall.
Speaker 3: So he's running with this tube around him in the water,
Speaker 3: pushing through, just trying to get closer to this outboard sound.
Speaker 3: He finally gets up in the room is just clearing
Speaker 3: the trees and a thick vegetation. Hadn't seen anything since
Speaker 3: his second shot.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see right back
Speaker 1: after the East messages.
Speaker 3: When he gets around the corner, here comes a couple
Speaker 3: of locals in a skiff, real narrow, wouldn't skiff. They
Speaker 3: almost didn't see him. He jumps up and then one
Speaker 3: of the guys turns around to the guy in the
Speaker 3: back and they slowed down. They go past him a
Speaker 3: little ways. Guy pulls up the kicker so he doesn't
Speaker 3: ground out. They start floating back to him and the
Speaker 3: guys are like, hey, what are you doing out here?
Speaker 3: And he goes he tells him, hey, I was dropped off.
Speaker 3: I was floating this. They're like, you shouldn't be out
Speaker 3: here by yourself. He gave me the guy's names. I
Speaker 3: am aware of the family. So they help him into
Speaker 3: the skiff, and they could tell he's obviously distressed. He's pale.
Speaker 3: They kept asking him, are you okay? Are you okay?
Speaker 3: And he's trying to talk, but he's so overcome with
Speaker 3: the relief that people were there. He kept choking up,
Speaker 3: trying to get it out. As luck would have it,
Speaker 3: this thing screamed off in the distance. Native boys immediately recognized.
Speaker 3: They dropped the kicker, boot fired up and they go
Speaker 3: back down. They take him to the New Yekuk and
Speaker 3: then they take him up the niw Yakuk about a
Speaker 3: mile because they were gone for their white fish net.
