00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Today, I want to tell you about a journey that

2
00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I've been on for most of my life. Ever since

3
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, I've heard tales of Bigfoot and

4
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>wild men while spending time with my friends and family.

5
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>As I grew older and read more about the paranormal,

6
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>my interest in encryptids and other things strange only deepened.

7
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm so excited to share with you what

24
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>on here. Something just kid with my dog, something to

25
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>kill your dog? My dog. We're flying through there, over

26
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the tree. I don't know how it did it? Okay, damn,

27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming

28
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>over the fence, and name was dead once you hit

29
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the ground. I didn't see any cars. All I saw

30
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what are

31
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>you reporting? We got some wonder or something crawling around

32
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>out here? Did you see what it was? It was

33
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>enough out here looking. I'm new to the window now

34
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside.

35
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Point hello, hit somebody out here?

36
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 3>What quent on out there?

37
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I've thought of a bit of about sixty nine. I

38
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know easy. I'm out there. Yeah, I'm walking right ahead.

39
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh hey, greeting is this friend in Alaska? Thanks for

40
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 3>joining me. What I wanted to share with you today

41
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>comes from Kirk and his wife and their five year

42
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>old daughter. They have a cabin near the Koyakuk River.

43
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>It's a little ways off the river, but they access

44
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 3>it by the river. They asked me not to share

45
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 3>the exact but it's on the upper part of the Koyakuk.

46
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>So what Kirk shared was, this isn't very long ago,

47
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 3>this most season, so less than two months ago. Him,

48
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>his wife and daughter were at this cabin. The first

49
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>couple of days was just standard stuff. His wife was

50
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 3>watching the kid and keeping the cabin warm. What have

51
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 3>you meals cooked, that kind of thing. Kirk was out

52
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>exploring looking for signs of moose. On the morning at

53
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 3>day three, he was making some calls in this little

54
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>meadow about half mile from this cabin, on this open

55
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>area of tundra. This meadow, this muskeg area, wasn't overly large.

56
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>He said. It's about a half mile by half mile,

57
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>not a perfect circle, more like an oblong. This creek

58
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of ran through it. It was a little feet

59
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 3>or creek that fed into the marsh in the center,

60
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 3>and then from there it fed out and it eventually

61
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>made its way to the river. So he said, he

62
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 3>was sitting there, it was just getting light out. He

63
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>starts making his calls. He hears an identical call to

64
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>what he's calling across the way and goes, oh, crap,

65
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm calling him a cow. He's like, I'm just going

66
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 3>to sit quiet and let the other cow, which probably

67
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 3>sounds way more natural than me calling the bull moose. Right,

68
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 3>So he's sitting there for a while and what's quiet,

69
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>he's not hearing that call anymore, or sits a while,

70
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 3>makes another call about an hour later, right across as

71
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>a straight shot. He get the call back identical to

72
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 3>what he just did. That's not normal. A cow moose

73
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 3>would have shown herself and made her way in my

74
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>direction if she was seeking me out. So he didn't

75
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 3>know what to think of it. Started getting an eerie feeling,

76
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 3>so he goes, I'm just going to head out of here.

77
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I'll go back try again tomorrow morning. He really felt

78
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 3>off about this return moose call, this cow call, he said,

79
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 3>for the life of him, he couldn't shake the feeling

80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 3>that something was totally off, even though what he heard

81
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 3>was normal in context of what he would expect to hear,

82
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 3>the timing of it, the way everything was going to

83
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Kirk was like something mate, right, I'm just gonna get

84
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 3>out of here, he said. On his way out. Now

85
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>he is about a half mile from the cabin, so

86
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 3>he's got a little bit of ways to cut through.

87
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>He started into the trees, but there was a couple

88
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>breaks and a couple openings between where he was at

89
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 3>in his cabins. There are some smaller meadows and stuff.

90
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 3>He was thinking, I'm going to go to one closer

91
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 3>to the cabin and I'll call again, see if I

92
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 3>can leave the creepy feeling behind type of thing. It

93
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 3>was reasoning his way out of whatever was happening. Right

94
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 3>there was about three separate little meadows in between where

95
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 3>he was at and where his cabin was, and he

96
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 3>chose the second one away from where he just was,

97
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 3>so technically it was about four little meadows away. He

98
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 3>had one more meadow before a thick batch of trees

99
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 3>before he got back to his cabin. So he says,

100
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 3>when he got there, it was just getting full on daylight.

101
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 3>So he figured he had a chance, maybe an hour

102
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 3>window to maybe spark something with the calling and a

103
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 3>little moose, So he makes his calls. Immediately after he

104
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 3>does this call, it's identical and it's right over there

105
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 3>his back trail. It was literally on his back trail

106
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 3>and he couldn't see where this cow was calling. At

107
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.160
<v Speaker 3>this point, it really freaked him out to where he's

108
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 3>standing up with his rifle and he starts yelling, hey,

109
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm over here. I don't know if you're playing games

110
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 3>with me. It's not funny. He assumed maybe another hunter

111
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>was trying to weird him out about where he was hunting,

112
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 3>like they want that spot to themselves kind of thing.

113
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't feeling that. He thought someone would have said,

114
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 3>hey man, i'm calling over here, sorry, whatever, but there

115
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 3>was none of that. So as he yells, he says,

116
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 3>damn it really loud at the end, right, damn it?

117
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 3>No sooner and he says that he hears identical damn

118
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 3>it coming back to him like it echoed. He said

119
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 3>it was almost instantaneous when he was done with the

120
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>damn it, damn it came right back at him. It

121
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 3>was a very close imitation of his voice, very close.

122
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 3>It spooped him out even more. He points his rifle

123
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 3>in that direction, and as soon as he points the rifle,

124
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 3>he says he got this feeling that he doesn't want

125
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 3>to have to shoot in the instant before he was

126
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 3>ready to shoot, and then immediately gets his sensation in

127
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 3>his mind about I probably don't want to do this,

128
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 3>What am I going to do? I don't want to

129
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 3>lead this thing back to my family. Whatever in the

130
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>hell it is, it's mimicking me. So what he does

131
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 3>is he heads off to his left. He just turns

132
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 3>and goes just to his left. He knows where he's

133
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>at mentally, he's mentally keeping track of his position from

134
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>his cabin, and he walks off to his left into

135
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 3>the brush. He said he was making a lot of

136
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 3>noise going through the brush on purpose, trying to lure

137
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 3>whatever it is off his back trail. He didn't want

138
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>whatever is going on to follow him back to the cabin,

139
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 3>so he goes out of his way quite a way.

140
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't remember exactly how far he went, but he

141
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 3>said he went far enough to where he cleared the

142
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 3>trees and walked out on tundra for a ways and

143
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 3>then turned round, got low and started glassing back towards

144
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 3>the tree line to see if whatever it was would

145
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 3>show its else. He said, as he was sitting there,

146
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 3>it's steadily getting lighter, so he's comfortable with what he

147
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 3>can see around him. He's got plenty of open area.

148
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 3>He should be able to see everything in his mind's eye,

149
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 3>he said, as he was sitting there, and he had

150
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 3>periodically glassed back towards the tree line he just came

151
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 3>out of, he noticed something. It was like a rusty

152
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 3>brown kind of color. He noticed it moving in the trees, right.

153
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>So he's, okay, someone's wearing a fur coat messing with me,

154
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 3>because what he saw matched up with the guy wearing

155
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 3>some kind of weird coat. It was on two legs.

156
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 3>He clearly saw it move just out of you, but

157
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 3>saw it long enough to make out human like over there.

158
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Weird coat right, so's ah, this must be some old

159
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 3>hermit playing games. At this point, he's like, I'm not

160
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 3>gonna be scared of some old hermit. So he starts charging,

161
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 3>just boom walking right back to where he'd just seen

162
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 3>this thing. So Kirk said, as soon as he got

163
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 3>within fifty feet of the actual tree line in front

164
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 3>of him, he got this overwhelming sense of danger. He

165
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 3>said he never felt before or since. It was immediate.

166
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 3>It stopped him in his tracks and he felt in

167
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 3>fear of his life like that, he said. It was

168
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 3>the strangest thing. He said. He started shaking. He couldn't

169
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>shake the fact that he was in imminent danger, and

170
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't seeing anything tangible to justify this feeling. Kirk said,

171
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 3>that's when he said, all right, you know what, whatever's

172
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 3>going on, I got to get out of here. I

173
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 3>got to make it back to my cabin because I

174
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>don't want something to happen to me and my wife

175
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.559
<v Speaker 3>have to deal with this too, right because the five

176
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 3>year old daughter. So if he starts heading into the trees,

177
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 3>he's got his rifle ready. He had a handgun that

178
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 3>was on his hip. He adjusted his coat so he

179
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 3>can gain easy access to it, and he walks his

180
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 3>back trail. He walks right on back to the other

181
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 3>meadow where he had last made this moose call. He said,

182
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 3>on his way through there, he's looking around. It's pretty thick,

183
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 3>but there are some areas where he could see for

184
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 3>a little ways and he would stop in those areas listen, nothing,

185
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Speaker 3>not a sound. He makes it back to that other meadow,

186
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>and he said, his heart, he could feel it beaten

187
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 3>in his throat, he could feel it in his eyes.

188
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 3>He's panicking inside. He's like, what the hell is going on?

189
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not registering, none of it's making sense to him.

190
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't know what to do. He pauses and he

191
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 3>stands there. He's trying to figure out do I really

192
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 3>want to bring whatever this is back with me? And

193
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 3>at that point he's just needed to get back there

194
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>and make sure that my wife is aware of what's

195
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 3>going on. So he says, if it follows, I can't

196
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.120
<v Speaker 3>fix that right now, but I know I need to

197
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 3>protect them. I don't know what's going on there, So

198
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 3>in his mind he was thinking this could be happening

199
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 3>to her right now, we'd be better off together with it.

200
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 3>So he starts storming back towards the cabin, and he

201
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>said on the way he would stop periodically and turn around,

202
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 3>and he felt like something was right on his heels

203
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>as he was moving through the trees. He said he

204
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 3>couldn't shake it. He kept feeling like it's right on

205
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 3>top of him. He'd turned around, nothing, he said. It

206
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>continued the whole way back, which was at this point

207
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 3>like a quarter mile. So once he gets to the

208
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.679
<v Speaker 3>backside of the cabin, one of the things he always

209
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 3>did was bump twice just let his wife know to

210
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 3>unlock the door. There's a window along the side where

211
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 3>he comes from the back. If you're facing the cabin

212
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 3>and'd be off to the left, but from the backside

213
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 3>it's off to the right, so he would bump bump.

214
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 3>There's a window that he had to pass. His wife

215
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 3>could look out, see it's him. Open the door. They

216
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 3>had that worked out because they'd been going to this

217
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 3>cabin for years. He does that bump and he glances

218
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>up at the window, but there's no one in the window.

219
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.440
<v Speaker 3>So he bangs again AND's coming around saying, hey, open

220
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 3>the door. He comes around. It's locked up tight. He's

221
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 3>banging on the door. Hey, it's me, Let me in, honey.

222
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 3>So she comes to the door and she is spooped. Hey,

223
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>there's some strange stuff happening. I was out there. He

224
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 3>lays out everything to her and she has this look

225
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.919
<v Speaker 3>on her face. He thought she wasn't believing him. But

226
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.159
<v Speaker 3>what had actually happened was while he was gone, something

227
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 3>was banging on the cabin. It banged just like he did,

228
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 3>so she thought he came back early, so she didn't

229
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 3>even look out the window. She went to the door

230
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 3>and opened it. She said when she opened it, she

231
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 3>saw nothing, but she heard a grunt and she looks

232
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 3>off to the right hand facing outside the door, and

233
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 3>she said something big moved and she just slammed the door. Now,

234
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 3>the banging continued around this cabin the whole time he

235
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.639
<v Speaker 3>was gone. He sensing something was off, but made sense

236
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Speaker 3>to him why he was feeling the way he was

237
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 3>feeling when she expressed that right. But she told him

238
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.559
<v Speaker 3>she heard a cow moose call as well a couple

239
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 3>times during this time where he was off making the

240
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 3>moose calls and then wandering off and and coming back

241
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 3>and all that during this whole time, She told him

242
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 3>whatever it was making a cow moose call outside the

243
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 3>cabin real loud a few different times. So he said,

244
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 3>I saw something big and looked like a man wearing

245
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 3>a coat. She said, I saw something very similar, but

246
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 3>it was too big to be a man. And she

247
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>pointed out that same window where she would normally peek

248
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 3>to see him coming. Where this thing had been was

249
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 3>right out that window, and she pointed out it was

250
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>as tall as that third branch up. He knows that

251
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 3>bottom branch in that particular tree was about nine feet

252
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 3>off the ground because he had hung a rope there

253
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 3>that he had run off to another tree so when

254
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 3>he hung his quarters he could hang him up there

255
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>with a tarpover so he automatically knew whatever was way

256
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 3>bigger than nine feet. They're spitball, and she brings up

257
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 3>the Harryman. Now, something he just dismissed over the years

258
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.600
<v Speaker 3>was he had actually ended up purchasing this cabin from

259
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 3>his uncle. During that time when he was younger and

260
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 3>his uncle would talk about the harry Man. He thought

261
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 3>it was just his uncle trying to make it seem

262
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 3>like a adventure. I go out and I do with

263
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 3>harry Man, this kind of stuff, right. He thought his

264
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 3>uncle was playing it up. Reality being his uncle wasn't playing.

265
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>So he starts remembering these stories his uncle told him,

266
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 3>and he goes, oh, my uncle said, I think I

267
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 3>remember him saying that some dryfish leapt out as an offering,

268
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 3>will appease them and they'll leave. I don't know if

269
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 3>I want to do that. I don't want to continue

270
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 3>a bad habit. His wife says, just put us some dryfish,

271
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 3>see what happens, just to see if it worked. He

272
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>decided to, so, let me explain, Kirk is at the basket,

273
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 3>same with his wife. Not that makes a huge difference.

274
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to be clear about that. They're not just

275
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 3>some random yahoo's or whatever run around the woods. So

276
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 3>she brings up, what about leaving something besides the dryfish?

277
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 3>How about we leave a trinket of some kind. She's

278
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 3>spitballing at that time of curse. No, I don't even

279
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 3>want to put dryfish out there, let alone anything else.

280
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 3>So he decides reluctantly to do this. So near where

281
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 3>that tree was where she saw this thing, and where

282
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 3>he had his rope across, he said it was about

283
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 3>three trees away, so about ten fifteen feet there was

284
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 3>an old oil drum, fifty five gallon drum. He walks

285
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 3>over and he just puts the smoke salmon on top

286
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 3>of that. The dryfish sets it down and walks back inside.

287
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Now it's the middle of the day, right, So Kirk's

288
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>sitting there and he's and I don't like feeling we're

289
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 3>trapped in here. His wife's Kate, we're safe in here.

290
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Everything's fine. There hasn't been anything strange going on since

291
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 3>he got back, so things calmed down a little bit.

292
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 3>They had the generator outside, Kirk went outside, fired it up,

293
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 3>and they put on this TV with the built in

294
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 3>VCR and DVD player in their old school, but they

295
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 3>plugged that in to play Disney movies for their daughter

296
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to get her sidetracked, because the kid was picking up

297
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 3>on their energy and the kid was starting to freak out,

298
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 3>so they tried to bring some normalcy to it. Whole

299
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.639
<v Speaker 3>family sitting there watching Disney movies.

300
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Sasquatch out to Sea. We'll be

301
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 1>right back after these messages.

302
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Now as they're watching the movies. They went through two movies.

303
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 3>He kept peeking out the blinds and stuff because they

304
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 3>had the old strange accordion style ones that he can't

305
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 3>directly see through. He kept checking the smoke salmon over

306
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 3>and over again, barely paying attention to the movie. He said,

307
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 3>approximately the fourth time he went and looked, he didn't

308
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 3>notice the salmon out there anymore because the positioning of

309
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 3>the drum, he could easily see the top of it,

310
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 3>and whether the salmon was on top of it. It

311
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 3>was like twenty five feet away. It's like right over there.

312
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 3>Didn't see the smoke salmon. He goes, the salmon's gone.

313
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.240
<v Speaker 3>So for him and his wife, that kind of ended

314
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 3>their Disney movie marathon with their daughter, and they just

315
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 3>let the kid do her thing and watch her shows

316
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.440
<v Speaker 3>while they talk quietly amongst each other, and they opened

317
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 3>that blind. Kirk said, as they were sitting there talking

318
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.000
<v Speaker 3>out in the trees where it wasn't fully visible, but

319
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 3>they could see between the trees a little bit, they

320
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 3>saw this figure move, and he said, it moved very slow,

321
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 3>almost like it was floating, but you could easily see

322
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 3>this and it looked dark on the lower half, lighter

323
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 3>on the upper half. He said, that's what gave the

324
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.279
<v Speaker 3>impression of someone in an oversized snowsuit, because the top

325
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 3>was like a brownish color and the bottoms were black.

326
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 3>He was like, it was real weird, but there was

327
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 3>obviously no clothing. It was hair. You gotta understand this

328
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 3>is thirty five feet away that this is going on,

329
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 3>that they're watching this thing move. It's not outwardly showing

330
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 3>itself or being aggressive at this time, so they're trying

331
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 3>to wrap their minds around what they're seeing. Are we

332
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 3>imagining this? Are we so freaked out we're having like

333
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 3>a shared hallucination or something. Obviously they were. The wife

334
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 3>gets scared and goes sits and holds a daughter. As

335
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 3>soon as she did that, and she's sitting down with

336
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 3>the kid, Kirk steps away from the window again. They

337
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 3>were just right up on this window. They were looking out,

338
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 3>though they weren't looking tight to the sides. As soon

339
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 3>as he turns and steps away from that window, his

340
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 3>wife screams to Kirk. It looks like she's looking at him,

341
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 3>but she's looking past him at the window. Something moved

342
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 3>big in front of that window. Startled the crap out

343
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 3>of Kirk. He turns around. He didn't see what she

344
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 3>did because the window's only so wide. It wasn't a

345
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 3>very tall window either. Quickly, boom, a shadow went by.

346
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.720
<v Speaker 3>She didn't see exactly what it was, but it's scared

347
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the crap out of Kirk the way she screams. So

348
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 3>when he turned around and look, he's not seeing anything.

349
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 3>He jumps forward real quick because he's like one step

350
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 3>away from this damn window. He jumps forward real quick

351
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.440
<v Speaker 3>to look out. He doesn't see anything. Just as he's

352
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 3>looking out and looking around on the opposite side of

353
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 3>the cabinet, damn, something hit it and the whole place

354
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.200
<v Speaker 3>shakes right. His daughter started screaming and crying. His wife

355
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 3>started screaming crying. So, of course he doesn't want them

356
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 3>in danger or whatever, so he grabs his rifle and

357
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.960
<v Speaker 3>he's like, I'm gonna run this thing off. I'm gonna

358
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.880
<v Speaker 3>shoot it if I have to. He runs out the door.

359
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.160
<v Speaker 3>When he gets outside, he's looking with his rifle. He

360
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.039
<v Speaker 3>wants to end whatever in the hell's going on like

361
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 3>right now, and he's not seen anything. So he runs

362
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.519
<v Speaker 3>around to the other side decide where the drum was

363
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, and he's looking and he's not seeing anything.

364
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 3>He gets the sensation that he's being watched and he

365
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 3>can't shake it, so he's looking all over the place.

366
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 3>He goes back inside. As they're sitting there, he's saying,

367
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what the hell to do. Let's plan

368
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 3>on getting out of here, because he felt like a

369
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 3>cage scrap. He was just caged in. At any moment,

370
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 3>something was going to break in and hurt his family,

371
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.599
<v Speaker 3>which I could just imagine is a horrible feeling. It

372
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 3>was bad enough with what I dealt with, but to

373
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 3>have a little kid there as well, that's your own,

374
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.359
<v Speaker 3>I could just imagine it'd be heightened. So as they're

375
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 3>discussing how it's going to work, because they have to

376
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 3>walk down this trail with their daughter to where their

377
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 3>skiff is, it's off the river a little ways. It's

378
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 3>about not quite half a mile that they have to

379
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:16.839
<v Speaker 3>go through very thick brush, very dense woods up until

380
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.480
<v Speaker 3>about maybe one hundred yards from the river bank is

381
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>where the trail opens up and they can see openly.

382
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 3>So he's trying to account for all the potential dangers

383
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 3>and going out that way. His wife wanted to go

384
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 3>right then. His concern was being on the river when

385
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 3>it got dark, because they had a couple hours of

386
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 3>rivertime ahead of them, and with how the day had

387
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 3>progressed and the Disney movies and stuff, they weren't too

388
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 3>far from twilight at that time. So they get their

389
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 3>game plan. They moved a couple of items in front

390
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 3>of the door. They reclosed the window, and they hung

391
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.079
<v Speaker 3>some stuff up over just as a secondary measure to

392
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 3>keep anything from looking in, and they sat there. He

393
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 3>went out one time and made sure the generator was

394
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 3>topped off so it'll run until it ran out, so

395
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 3>they can have the movies going for the daughter to

396
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 3>calm her down and bring some kind of normalcy to

397
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 3>this weird situation that was happening. He said, everything was

398
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.160
<v Speaker 3>good and quiet. Of course they were freaked out, good

399
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 3>as far as nothing else was happening. He said it

400
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.400
<v Speaker 3>got to a point to where they started relaxing and

401
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 3>dozing off a little bit. He said he wasn't sure

402
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:36.119
<v Speaker 3>how much time it lapsed since he dozed off, but

403
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.640
<v Speaker 3>he was woken up to the whole place shaking like

404
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>an earthquake was going on. He said it was dark out,

405
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 3>the generator had stopped running at some point because the

406
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.279
<v Speaker 3>TV was no longer on. The shaking started, he woke

407
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 3>up to it. Then all of a sudden, his daughter

408
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 3>and wife woke up pretty much screaming, freaking out. So

409
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 3>he hushes them down and he's listening. He said it

410
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 3>sounded like something large pounding at a quick cadence against

411
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker 3>the wall, and it was just making the whole place shake.

412
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Right at this point, he had really felt fed up

413
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 3>with it, and he starts yelling, you leave my family alone,

414
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 3>You leave us alone, yelling, And after a little while

415
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.640
<v Speaker 3>that banging stopped, the whole place stopped shaking. They sat there.

416
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.559
<v Speaker 3>The daughter fell back asleep after a little bit, but

417
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 3>him and his wife sat there with a lantern lit.

418
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Once the pounding and stuff stopped and he was yelling,

419
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 3>all that stopped, they lit the lanterns, and daughter fell asleep,

420
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 3>and they sat there. His wife insisted on carrying his pistol,

421
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 3>which he readily said, yes, of course. They had their

422
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 3>game plan. They were just taking the necessities. They would

423
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 3>leave stuff there. He was going to come back later

424
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 3>with some relatives, which is not uncommon. There's quite a

425
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 3>few encounters to where it plays out like they just

426
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 3>want to get out of there, and man decides he'll

427
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.640
<v Speaker 3>come back later. As they're discussing all that stuff, the

428
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 3>pounding has stopped. They're just basically feeling anxious as hell,

429
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 3>wanting to be gone out of there. Let's go. So

430
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.839
<v Speaker 3>morning comes from what he said. He made coffee out

431
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 3>of habit. He was wide awake, he was anxious. He

432
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 3>really didn't want to get over anxious with the coffee,

433
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 3>but his wife wanted coffee. And he gets that all done.

434
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.039
<v Speaker 3>And as they're drinking coffee and they're talking in hush

435
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.680
<v Speaker 3>tones because the daughter's still sleeping, right. They want her

436
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 3>to get rest and hopefully be able to walk quickly

437
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 3>as they made it through some of the thickest parts

438
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 3>of this trail on their way back to the skiff.

439
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.400
<v Speaker 3>As him and his wife are discussing these things. They've

440
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.839
<v Speaker 3>been down this trail several times, so they know at

441
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 3>one part of kind of dog legs through this one

442
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 3>area shortly before it opens wide up to the river.

443
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 3>He was telling his wife, I think if anything was

444
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.720
<v Speaker 3>to happen, that's the choke point in that area is

445
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 3>the tightest all on the trail with the trees and stuff.

446
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 3>That's where I need you to be holding her and

447
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 3>moving quickly. She was like, duh, yeah, I'm motivated. You

448
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 3>don't have to worry about me moving quickly. Just keep

449
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.319
<v Speaker 3>up fair enough, that's Mama Berry. So warning comes, it

450
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 3>gets lighter, that it's light enough to where they're not

451
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.599
<v Speaker 3>seeing anything. He looks out that window. They take down

452
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 3>whatever they had hanging and they open that blind and

453
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 3>he's looking out and on that drum is all the

454
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 3>fish that it went missing the day before. He put

455
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.039
<v Speaker 3>out like a couple of flats and some strips. So

456
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 3>there's like two flats and three strips. A flat is

457
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 3>just a bigger flatter piece of smoked salmon and strips

458
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 3>or strips like a stick, like a jerky stick. They

459
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 3>were back. They were gone the day before, but now

460
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, they're all back. He's confused by it.

461
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 3>He takes it it wasn't accepted, which what do you

462
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:45.119
<v Speaker 3>do with that? And so he points it out to

463
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 3>his wife, and his wife's I don't give a shit.

464
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.880
<v Speaker 3>We're getting out of here. We're going. I don't want

465
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.960
<v Speaker 3>to come back to this place. So she starts getting

466
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the daughter ready. As that's going on, he feels a

467
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 3>sense of relief that it doesn't feel ominous. He's got

468
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the curtain open now is letting natural daylight in, and

469
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 3>he's feeling a little more comfortable about them getting out

470
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:09.359
<v Speaker 3>of there because he can see everything. Right. As he

471
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.759
<v Speaker 3>was sitting there and his wife getting the daughter ready

472
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.839
<v Speaker 3>and getting her something to eat, all of a sudden, boom,

473
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.359
<v Speaker 3>the place started shaking like an earthquake again, right, but

474
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 3>this time he could tell the banging was coming from

475
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.440
<v Speaker 3>that back corner he had normally pound twice and she

476
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 3>would see it was him and open the door. He said,

477
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 3>it seemed like he was coming from that same area,

478
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 3>and at that point he said, screw it. He grabs

479
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 3>a guy. He says, plug her ears because this is

480
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 3>continuous boom boom. So his wife plugs her daughter's ears,

481
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 3>and he shoots through the wall in the area. He

482
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.319
<v Speaker 3>thinks this thing is pounding, so he shoots through the wall.

483
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 3>They hear this hillacious sound. He said it was like

484
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 3>a guttural growl, kind of moan sound, and then quiet.

485
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.759
<v Speaker 3>They sat there a minute. His ears are ringing because

486
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 3>he just fired a high powered rifle inside the small structure.

487
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:04.599
<v Speaker 3>His wife is crying. His daughter's shooking up and crying,

488
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:07.480
<v Speaker 3>and they're sitting there a minute, and he's, I don't

489
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 3>know what now, I'm nervous about us going through the trail,

490
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:12.319
<v Speaker 3>and his wife goes, no, I have your gun, you

491
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 3>have your other gun. We're going. We're not sticking around.

492
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 3>He can't argue with that, because nothing has de escalated.

493
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 3>What is a continuation of weirdness. He agrees, and now

494
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 3>he's worried that this thing's injured now and it's going

495
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to be angry at them, right, So he goes, what

496
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 3>we need to do is just start going now, right now,

497
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 3>Let's grab our stuff. They put their daughter's little backpack

498
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 3>on her. His wife had the backpack with their important

499
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 3>stuff that they brought with some extra ammo, and she

500
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 3>was carrying the pistol in her hand, had the daughter

501
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 3>in one arm. They went out the door. Boom, They're gone.

502
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.759
<v Speaker 3>They're going down the trail. Kirk said he kept looking

503
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 3>over his shoulder because he felt like they're being watched. Still,

504
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 3>he said, for a good portion of the trail, it's

505
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 3>about the trail itself was real narrow as the old

506
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:06.200
<v Speaker 3>game trail, but outside of that, the brush was backaways

507
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 3>off of this little narrow path before the brush got

508
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.519
<v Speaker 3>thick and stuff for a good portion of their way

509
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.559
<v Speaker 3>through it. Just at this point it bottled next to

510
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:17.400
<v Speaker 3>where they got to go through this dog leg on

511
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 3>the trail through some of the thickest part of the

512
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 3>brush in the trees. He said. When they got to

513
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.559
<v Speaker 3>that point, he turned around. He's pointing his rifle around.

514
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 3>He's not seeing anything, and his wife said we need

515
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 3>to hurry up, and he goes, okay, but her whole

516
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 3>demeanor change. She said something just told me, I want

517
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker 3>your kid, I want your kid, and she said whatever,

518
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 3>and the hell that was, it's not happening. We gotta go.

519
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.359
<v Speaker 3>They hurry up through that portion of the trail. Now

520
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 3>when it come out of the other side of Kirk

521
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 3>said that his wife was literally running and jumping carrying

522
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the kid at this point still moving like a football linebacker.

523
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 3>She was motivated to get the hell out. She led

524
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 3>the way and was going further faster than Kirk was.

525
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 3>He was stopping every once in a while to check

526
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 3>their back trail to make sure Nutt was following them.

527
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 3>He said. Once his wife got to the skip, he

528
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 3>was paces behind her, and when he caught up, she

529
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.039
<v Speaker 3>had tears pouring down her face, saying, it keeps saying

530
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 3>it over and over, we gotta go, And he goes,

531
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 3>what do you mean, and she goes, it keeps telling

532
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 3>me that it's going to take us, it's going to

533
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 3>take our kit. He can't argue with that because he

534
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 3>didn't hear it, but he trusted what his wife is

535
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.400
<v Speaker 3>telling him. He does this thing. He has to get

536
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 3>the gas cans out of the bush. There's brush not

537
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 3>too far off the river bank where they take their

538
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.319
<v Speaker 3>field cans out of the skiff and stash them and

539
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.480
<v Speaker 3>hide them so in case someone coming by wouldn't steal

540
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.079
<v Speaker 3>their gas, because sometimes shit happens. So he goes and retrieves, it,

541
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:58.200
<v Speaker 3>comes back over, fires up the outboard and as it's

542
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 3>warming up, they're not tied off. At this point, he's

543
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 3>just letting outboard warm up. The current's starting to slowly

544
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.640
<v Speaker 3>drag him off of where they're beached, and his wife

545
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 3>keeps saying it, keeps telling me that it's nearby and

546
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.440
<v Speaker 3>it's going to get us. He's not gonna tell her, hey,

547
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:15.799
<v Speaker 3>you're wrong, because I don't hear it, so he takes

548
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 3>her word for it, puts it in reverse, the back

549
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>away from the river bank where they parked their skiff.

550
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 3>As he backed up, there's like a big bend that's

551
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit below them where they park, and

552
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 3>he's going around that. And as they're cutting around that bend,

553
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 3>he looks off to his left and the direction of

554
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 3>the river bank where the cabin is located. On that side,

555
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 3>which would be the east side of the river, he

556
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 3>looks he can see this tall, dark figure silhouetted in

557
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:49.119
<v Speaker 3>the trees, less than twenty yards off the river banks.

558
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 3>He said it had to be pretty damn tall for

559
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 3>him to notice it, because he noticed from like shoulders

560
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 3>up what he can make out as head and shoulders.

561
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:02.640
<v Speaker 3>He said, I would have considered myself paranoid, however, considering

562
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.400
<v Speaker 3>what had happened the previous day and night. He wasn't

563
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:09.960
<v Speaker 3>going to discount it just as some strange anomaly in

564
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 3>the trees. He took it for what he thought it was,

565
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 3>which was a hairyman. They got there. Nothing more to

566
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.839
<v Speaker 3>add as far as the encounter other than a long

567
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 3>cup hour ride. Even when they got back to more

568
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 3>familiar grounds at were it's so remote, right near a

569
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.200
<v Speaker 3>road where the truck was parked and all that kind

570
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.880
<v Speaker 3>of stuff. His wife was holding the gun and her

571
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:34.240
<v Speaker 3>baby and nothing was coming close. I wouldn't want to

572
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.799
<v Speaker 3>approach her in that state because she's on protect mode.

573
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 3>What he said was is that since this has happened,

574
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.640
<v Speaker 3>it's been really hard for his wife to sleep. She

575
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 3>gets very anxious when it starts to get dark, out

576
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 3>constantly checking on the daughter. It's been basically a nightmare.

577
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 3>They reached out to some of their elders. They are

578
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.599
<v Speaker 3>tending this things. However, the elder see fit, I was

579
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 3>in a situation, but there was no little kids like

580
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.119
<v Speaker 3>my own little kids there. It wasn't that kind of dynamic.

581
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 3>It was more protect me versus having to feel like

582
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.720
<v Speaker 3>you got to protect your kid. But you gotta be

583
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 3>careful and stay tuned.

584
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.839
<v Speaker 1>For more sasquatch out to sea, will be right back

585
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 1>after these messages.

586
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.279
<v Speaker 3>What I suspect is the uncle had been feeding and

587
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 3>doing other stuff outside of Kirk's knowledge. I think potentially

588
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:34.720
<v Speaker 3>there could have been one of these things, upset about

589
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:38.039
<v Speaker 3>not being fed normally, or maybe there's something else going on.

590
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Who knows. He has not been back since the gender hitter.

591
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 3>They have There is a few thousand dollars and he

592
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:47.079
<v Speaker 3>needs to go get that. At this point, he's ready

593
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.680
<v Speaker 3>to cut his losses basically and just salvage whatever next

594
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 3>spring unless he gets a wild hair. He said he's

595
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:56.319
<v Speaker 3>got a buddy who has a plane that maybe he'll

596
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 3>have him fly him out at some point. But regardless,

597
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm to thank Kirk for sharing. It was hard for

598
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.440
<v Speaker 3>him being a dad and being in that position of protection.

599
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.200
<v Speaker 3>He felt very inadequate when all this stuff was going on,

600
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 3>and it bothers him as a man to feel like

601
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 3>he couldn't protect his family, which I could understand. What

602
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.279
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to share with the other day comes from Julius.

603
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 3>This was approximately seven years ago. He was on a

604
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.440
<v Speaker 3>snow machine ride. What ended up happening is he's cruising

605
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.000
<v Speaker 3>along this actually happened to me back in the nineties.

606
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 3>As he was going over these little bumps and little

607
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.440
<v Speaker 3>boondock areas, like, he accidentally hit his kill switch and

608
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.359
<v Speaker 3>the machine just instantly died, So he stuck. He was

609
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 3>with two of his buddies. It's just getting into ah

610
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 3>dusk Ish, very similar to what I'm at now right now.

611
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 3>It is about an hour before sunset, and it was

612
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.720
<v Speaker 3>probably a little further along than that when this happened

613
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 3>to him. So he hits the kill switch. This particular

614
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.960
<v Speaker 3>area is north of me, north of Sutton. The train

615
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.039
<v Speaker 3>is very similar to what you got here. You got

616
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to mix a birch. He got some alders and willows,

617
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 3>black spruce, hind and that birch. Obviously, he was on

618
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 3>a real confined part of the trail when he hit

619
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 3>his kill switch, and he said, he sat there for

620
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 3>a minute and he can hear his buddies off in

621
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the distance. He heard them and knew that eventually they

622
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 3>were going to come down this trail. And when he

623
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:26.799
<v Speaker 3>didn't meet up with them at the meet up place

624
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 3>which he heard them make it to and kill their

625
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.319
<v Speaker 3>machines and waiting for him, he knew they'd be coming back,

626
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.920
<v Speaker 3>so he wasn't overly stressed. He was just peddling around.

627
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 3>He popped his cowling, was looking around, and he decided

628
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 3>he had about a quarter mile of trail before it

629
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:43.440
<v Speaker 3>opened up, and he'd be able to see his friends

630
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 3>off in the distance, so he figured he'd do that.

631
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 3>He starts walking away from his snow machine. He said

632
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 3>he was about sixty feet away and it was a

633
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.160
<v Speaker 3>pretty straight stretch, and all of a sudden, off to

634
00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 3>his left, he heard movement in the brush. So imagine

635
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.920
<v Speaker 3>thirty forty feet you hear movement back over here, and

636
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 3>it's just moving. So he stops and he's watching, and

637
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 3>he figures it's a moose. He must have spooked the

638
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.920
<v Speaker 3>moose coming through, hitting the little Sloalom area, so he

639
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 3>stood there. He didn't want to get trampled. Moose will

640
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 3>kill you. They fight brown bear, so they're sure sow

641
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 3>ain't scared of your ass. So he's watching it, and

642
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:21.559
<v Speaker 3>so he stops and he's waiting, and all of a

643
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 3>sudden he sees it coming towards the trail that he's on,

644
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 3>and he said it was about forty feet away ish.

645
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.039
<v Speaker 3>All of a sudden, this thing is standing there, and

646
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 3>it's looking right back at him, so he stops. It

647
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:38.360
<v Speaker 3>takes him a minute to put together what he's seeing

648
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.880
<v Speaker 3>because it's not making sense in his mind's eye. His

649
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.079
<v Speaker 3>words were, holy fuck, what are you? This thing just

650
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:48.679
<v Speaker 3>started swaying back and forth right, he said. As it

651
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:52.679
<v Speaker 3>started swaying, he had an instant it felt like his

652
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 3>heart was going to beat out of his chest. And

653
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.639
<v Speaker 3>he knew immediately he was not safe. And I asked him,

654
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 3>was it acting aggressive? He said, no, it wasn't making

655
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.559
<v Speaker 3>a noise. It was its posture, the way it was standing,

656
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.000
<v Speaker 3>and the way it was looking at him. He said

657
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 3>it was all dark, almost pitch black, but not quite grizzled,

658
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 3>looking along the chest and the shoulders. His face was

659
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:18.280
<v Speaker 3>all black, and he could see the daylight twinkle in

660
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:21.159
<v Speaker 3>its eye, and he said the eyes look black. He

661
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 3>said it was approximately nine foot tall, maybe a little taller.

662
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 3>The snow was pretty deep. It could have been standing

663
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:29.079
<v Speaker 3>in two feet of snow, and it could have easily

664
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.800
<v Speaker 3>been eleven foot. He was in a panic. He said.

665
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.360
<v Speaker 3>What he did was he backed away. It was about

666
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.079
<v Speaker 3>sixty feet from his machine. He gets over to his machine.

667
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 3>He said, he came around the front of it, and

668
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 3>he squatted down looking over the cowling back at it.

669
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.920
<v Speaker 3>So if you imagine its down low, he can back.

670
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:49.639
<v Speaker 3>I get it. You'll want to put something between you.

671
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 3>And at that moment, off in the distance, he hears

672
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.559
<v Speaker 3>his friend's snow machines start up, and this thing is

673
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.719
<v Speaker 3>in clear view of him. He can see it. It's

674
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.079
<v Speaker 3>now almost one hundred feet away, but it's still swaying,

675
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:03.519
<v Speaker 3>and it started moving towards him right and as soon

676
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 3>as it started moving towards him in the tree line

677
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:08.039
<v Speaker 3>right next to the trail, if you can imagine something

678
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 3>big and dark just creeping along, he said, it was

679
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 3>moving silently. Tears were coming out of his eyes. He

680
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.920
<v Speaker 3>started praying. Now, Julius said, he's a heathen. He never

681
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 3>prayed before in his life. Understand that I've been in

682
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 3>those shoes, he said. As soon as he started praying,

683
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't praying, Oh God, Jesus, please help me from

684
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.920
<v Speaker 3>this monster. He's saying, please Jesus, let my friends come.

685
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 3>In that moment, as soon as he said Jesus, please

686
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 3>help me, because he's saying the prayer out loud, he

687
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:36.159
<v Speaker 3>squatted down in front of his machine, scared to death.

688
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 3>He heard this thing let out a scream. This thing

689
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 3>immediately took off and it was going straight in the

690
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.320
<v Speaker 3>direction of his buddies. He didn't put two and two

691
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.000
<v Speaker 3>together at the moment. He just thought the snow machine

692
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 3>sound scared this thing off. He said there was a

693
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 3>couple of years later, he realized it was the prayer

694
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.519
<v Speaker 3>that ran this thing off, because his friends were still

695
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:58.880
<v Speaker 3>almost a mile away. The reason he heard the snow

696
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 3>machines is they were in the world open a two

697
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 3>stroke eight hundred, you're gonna hear that thing screaming from

698
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.599
<v Speaker 3>a good way's away. But he figured it was the

699
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.039
<v Speaker 3>snow machines. A little while later, sure enough, his friends

700
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.840
<v Speaker 3>came down that particular trail and they see him there,

701
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.039
<v Speaker 3>and he still knelt down in front of his machine,

702
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.440
<v Speaker 3>just relieved that someone else's there. He was unarmed, He

703
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 3>had nothing. His friend that was with him he had

704
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 3>a I believe some kind of rifle with him at

705
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.840
<v Speaker 3>two seventy or something, just in case the moose tried

706
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 3>to trample him. As his friends show up and pull up,

707
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.079
<v Speaker 3>they're like, hey, what happened. They were a little jovial.

708
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.159
<v Speaker 3>He was fighting for the words to share, right, He

709
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:36.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what to say. He had a frog in

710
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.239
<v Speaker 3>his throat, he had tears still streaming, and he just said,

711
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 3>thank god, you guys are here. His two buddies were like,

712
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 3>you'll never guess. We just saw some dude running through

713
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:49.320
<v Speaker 3>the trees fast as shit. He said, that's not a guy.

714
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.199
<v Speaker 3>And they saw the look on his face and instantly

715
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 3>got concerned because these really good friends of his known

716
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.679
<v Speaker 3>since junior high type shit, fifteen years they've known each other.

717
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:01.320
<v Speaker 3>And his friends were like, hey, are you okay? What happened?

718
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:03.760
<v Speaker 3>And he said, that person you saw is actually like

719
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.719
<v Speaker 3>nine to eleven feet tall and it was bigfoot, and

720
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:10.960
<v Speaker 3>they were like, the hell you say. They were thrown off,

721
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 3>but they saw this thing running through the trees and

722
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.760
<v Speaker 3>just assumed it was some dude because they were flying

723
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.679
<v Speaker 3>by on snow machine. It was just something in passing.

724
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 3>They wrote it off as some guy in a fur

725
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.880
<v Speaker 3>coat or something. But then it dawned on him. They

726
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:26.119
<v Speaker 3>started thinking it was pretty damn big come to think

727
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 3>of it. So they didn't give him a hard time

728
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that. Julius was shaking like a leaf.

729
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.320
<v Speaker 3>He didn't smoke cigarettes, but one of his buddies did,

730
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.320
<v Speaker 3>and he smoked one of his friend's cigarettes, just panic stricken.

731
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.199
<v Speaker 3>His buddies tried to calm him down. They get him

732
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 3>a little something to sip on, warm up his belly

733
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.000
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. His buddy that was first in line

734
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.880
<v Speaker 3>that came in, we'll just call him Tea. Tea, went

735
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 3>over and was looking at his machine and within moments

736
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.400
<v Speaker 3>saw that he hit the kill switch, popped it, fired

737
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 3>it right up, and what a relief. So had they

738
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:59.840
<v Speaker 3>talked for a minute. Julius smoked a cigarette, still shaking

739
00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.840
<v Speaker 3>like hell. It gave him a few minutes and a

740
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 3>couple more SIPs to calm down so he can actually ride,

741
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 3>because he was shaking really hard like he was hypothermic,

742
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.559
<v Speaker 3>but he wasn't. He was just so traumatized by it.

743
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:13.920
<v Speaker 3>They didn't see anything else on the way out. They

744
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 3>immediately left the area. He hasn't ridden in that area

745
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 3>since as approximately seven years ago. I'll just say between

746
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Sutton in Eureka and we'll leave it at that, because

747
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't want anyone to potentially go back in there

748
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 3>and get themselves in a pickle, so to speak. I

749
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:33.280
<v Speaker 3>want to thank him for sharing. I want to thank

750
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.239
<v Speaker 3>you guys for joining me. The sun is setting and

751
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:37.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be out here when the sun

752
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 3>goes down all the way. It's damn beautiful though we

753
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.920
<v Speaker 3>were already losing sunlight. Beautiful out here and just quiet

754
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.639
<v Speaker 3>as shit. I don't like it just quiet. There should

755
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.920
<v Speaker 3>be some kind of songbirds, chickadees or something floating around. Anyway,

756
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for joining me. We'll catch you guys soon. They

757
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 3>say you don't got to go, but you can't say.

758
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:43.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to feel a world oppensis.

759
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 5>Trying this job, that chart everything. Call me, ride back

760
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 5>right back, joy from me, enjoy staying right there, Come.

761
00:40:44.440 --> 00:41:23.239
<v Speaker 6>It right away, yes, said, still starts things, says Sissie sat.

762
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:56.719
<v Speaker 7>Still, sassy games stssssts things used to s
