Share my story.

23
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.760
I have one main encounter and then have some like

24
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.359
some things really unusual things that like happened throughout my life,

25
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.920
just things that I couldn't really explain. But I'd like

26
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.640
to first start off by saying that I've always kind

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.799
of had like an interest in like Bigfoot and just

28
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.920
things that were really unusual when I was like really young,

29
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.560
Like I was always really kind of drawn to like

30
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.359
you know, books that were like anything it was, you know, Bigfoot, Ufo,

31
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.480
you know, Lutinus Monster, Like it was just it was

32
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.439
really cool to me, Like those like Choose your Own

33
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.480
Adventure books were just like always just they were just

34
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.519
so cool to me, Like I just I would just

35
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.280
I was just really like enamored by that stuff and

36
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:53.680
it kind of stuck.

37
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:54.439
In my mind.

38
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.200
Like but I never thought like anything could be like

39
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.159
you know, could really like we could really experience anything

40
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.760
like unusual that like that I really can't explain today,

41
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.840
but I had we used to have when I was

42
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.599
really young, Like in like elementary school, I lived like

43
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.360
basically like our school was like pretty much like like

44
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.400
a like the field that was behind the school was

45
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.759
like my house was like basically up against that and

46
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.960
We had this like this huge like feel that was

47
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.159
called like the ditch, and it was like just this

48
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.960
big like sewage like basically basically they took like the

49
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.159
it was just like this open like waterway for all

50
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.680
like the sewage from like the neighborhood like to just

51
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.520
drain out and it would make this this huge hill

52
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.080
and we would just play there, you know, like just

53
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.759
every day and it was just like super fun. We

54
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.919
just we just we thought we were like playing like

55
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.159
Dungeons and Dragons, but we didn't know.

56
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.879
We just knew it was like a popular game. We

57
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.520
didn't know what we were doing, like we were just

58
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.719
you know, we just play out there. But anyway, one

59
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.879
day like towards like it was really so.

60
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.520
There's a lot of things about this like that was

61
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.719
really unusual to me and really like it still makes

62
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.520
me to this day. I'm still like, I just it

63
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.000
was really just so weird and so like. But basically

64
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.000
we found footprints, like big, huge footprints. I don't know

65
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.159
what size they were, but they were like like footprints

66
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.039
all the way like on the back of it was

67
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.639
on the back it was literally like there was like

68
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.840
a a little like a just a little spot of footprints,

69
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.039
but one big, like defined footprint, like huge, and we

70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.599
just thought that it was so odd because and it

71
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.759
was facing like directly to the back of the house

72
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.800
of where there was a house, like someone was like

73
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.560
maybe like looking over a fence or something. But what

74
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:01.199
was so weird about it was that the the muddy

75
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.960
they just kind of built that other side. My house

76
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.840
was like on the opposite side, but like where that

77
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.800
house was built, that whole area was like still getting

78
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.759
build And this is like in terms of time frame,

79
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.839
this was probably I mean I was like probably like

80
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.040
nine or ten, so it was like it was really

81
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.519
there was not much like development back there, like there was,

82
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.199
but it was I mean, it was really open. But anyway,

83
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.240
what was so odd about this footprint though, it was

84
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.800
and we actually thought that it was like like bigfoot,

85
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.079
Like we're like this, this.

86
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.040
Got to be bigfoot.

87
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.680
But then we didn't do anything. We didn't know, we

88
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.000
didn't know what to do. We were just like, this

89
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.759
is just really cool. But what was so weird is

90
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.879
that that area where it was at was so the

91
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.959
time of year it was cold, but it was muddy

92
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.920
and like rainy, and the mud had like there was

93
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.079
just no telling what like we we would never go

94
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.959
out there like walk barefoot, like you just would not

95
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.800
do that. Like it was there's so many things that

96
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.759
could like we would have stepped on like.

97
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.680
We were just we just knew better, like you just

98
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.399
didn't do that.

99
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.040
But there was like pieces of chunks of like cement

100
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.839
and like broken glass and like just things that like

101
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.439
it looked just look like you know, like construction crews

102
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.480
just kind of like the aftermath. They just left it there,

103
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:24.959
and I don't know, it was just it was just

104
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.360
very strange. And what was really odd though, is that

105
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.519
I mean there's not a lot of like foliage around

106
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.680
from like because the whole back half of that was

107
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:41.079
basically like an open like farm like field, like just

108
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.399
just crops and stuff that would just they would grow.

109
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.920
And at that time it was completely empty, like it

110
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.160
was there was nothing out there. But yeah, we just

111
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.000
stumbled upon that and it was just really odd, and

112
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.000
I just I've always thought about it.

113
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.279
I went, I went on the.

114
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.439
DFRO website like years later, and I just was really

115
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.959
curious to see if anybody has had any because it's

116
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.920
so it's in Corpus Christie, like call Allen kind of

117
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.079
like this is like way down like.

118
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.399
In Texas, where I should have mentioned that first.

119
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.000
But it's it's it's just not I don't know, it's

120
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.040
just it seems like it would just be too like

121
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.920
have like there's just you know, too many people around,

122
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.519
and like where would it there's nothing to really cover.

123
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.079
It, you know. But anyway I read I just went

124
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.000
on the site and.

125
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.600
Just just read that there's people had actually had like

126
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.600
some encounters or not like her. I think there was

127
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.199
like a lady had saw something like by her her

128
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.920
trash cans, and like an area that was very like

129
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.240
kind of similar to where we were at, Like it

130
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.879
was very open and like there's just no trees or nothing,

131
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.360
and you know you hear about you know them being

132
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.240
in like areas like Arizona where there's not a lot

133
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.360
of like coverage there either.

134
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.279
So I don't know, but anyway, that was something something

135
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.199
I've always thought about. It's just it's it was something

136
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.639
so weird to us.

137
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.360
I mean, it could have been you know, a grown

138
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.360
adults foot, but it was definitely it was just so odd.

139
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.680
The time, it seemed pretty fresh, so like it was

140
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
like it happened kind of recently, and it just didn't

141
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.199
there was nothing else out there, Like there was no

142
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.519
other like trash or nothing, or to breath. It didn't

143
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.279
look like no one was like throwing anything else out

144
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.720
there like, so I don't know, it was just very.

145
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:36.040
Unusual. And so anyway, moving forward, so I became a skateboarder.

146
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.199
I got into like skateboarding. It was just like an

147
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.920
interest in mine and I through my.

148
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.480
Adult like early adult years, I would just kind of

149
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.600
start to get in trouble and I ended up having

150
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:47.720
to like join the military.

151
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.639
And I never had anything.

152
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.560
Happen while I was there, but when I drove out

153
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.120
to my unit, that was definitely I don't know, it

154
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.839
was just this very surreal experience. It's kind of crazy

155
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.199
that I just I just that I never had anything

156
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.079
experienced out there. But but yeah, I spent a lot

157
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.120
of time in the woods, and I felt like I

158
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.399
was very in tune with what was going on around me.

159
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.439
So I don't know, I think.

160
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.199
That that was that was very odd, But I felt

161
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.160
like that kind of like prepared me for like wanting

162
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.079
to be out in the just spend more time out

163
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.519
Like I just I really kind of we would spend

164
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.439
so much time training and the feeld, like it made

165
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.000
me want to like be out, like just spend as

166
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.519
much time as I could out in the woods.

167
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:38.159
But anyway, so I ended up I'm in the service.

168
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.600
I get out. I ended up.

169
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.080
Deciding to get out. I was I had to get

170
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:46.000
out for basically medical reasons. And I ended up getting

171
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.679
a job in the skateboard industry as a sales rep.

172
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.840
And I was doing really good for myself, and.

173
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.559
I was making I was making really good money, and

174
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.799
I was just moving up really fast. And then basically

175
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.279
the economy and just like hit all at once, like

176
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.519
it just completely crashed. And at the same time, a

177
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.000
lot of like just really horrible things were happening in

178
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.240
my life. Like I mean, it was just a friend

179
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.000
of mine is you know, he got hit by a

180
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.799
where he was in a motorcycle accident and died. My

181
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.240
aunt uncle died of cancer. This this guy that I

182
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:28.000
had known known from church years ago, like apparently had

183
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.600
been getting into like really bad drugs and did some

184
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.879
really like seriously horrible.

185
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.840
Stuff and ended up going to prison.

186
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.000
And it was just really shocking all this stuff was

187
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.559
happening and I'm losing my business. Everything was kind of

188
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.360
like coming to like a very just a very like

189
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.360
intense point in my life, and I was it was

190
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:51.759
really getting tough to deal with and I ended up

191
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:55.879
getting let go from my job, and it was just

192
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.840
it was just a very intense tough time for me.

193
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.960
And I decided, like I just I ended up. I

194
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.279
had like a severance, a big severance from the company,

195
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.320
and I decided, hey, I'm just I'm just gonna get

196
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.840
in my car and drive up the Yellowstone.

197
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:14.440
And this is around.

198
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.279
This is what it isn't twenty eleven is when I

199
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.080
when I grow up there and I'm done other trips

200
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.799
I've made other trips, like I take like photographs and

201
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.360
I try to like I have all these ideas of

202
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.919
like making like like.

203
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.639
Like these short movies or stuff.

204
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.919
Just it's just I don't know, just things that I

205
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.679
just like to do, aside from making music and claudas. Anyway,

206
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.279
I decide I'm just gonna get I I know that

207
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.519
things are really going to be bad, like I'm basically

208
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.639
on the verge of losing my home and everything. Because

209
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.840
there was no way to really kind of make up.

210
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.039
I mean, they called me. It was really kind of

211
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.120
it was just really it was just I was losing

212
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.759
shops like left and right, Like I would lose like

213
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.679
twelve shops in a year, and they were expecting us

214
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.440
to like it, maintain and still like make profits with

215
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:04.960
our stores.

216
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.440
And there was just no way I could have done that.

217
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.000
So I just got my car. I just decided to

218
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.759
take you know, live on whatever severance I had, and

219
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.639
just get in my car and drive and you know,

220
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.919
take photos and document it. I and you know, I

221
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.559
just thought, you know, maybe I'll experience something, maybe something

222
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.679
will happen. You know, I don't know, I just did.

223
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.799
I really didn't know what to expect. I thought I

224
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.639
felt like if I really just got in my car

225
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.360
and just drove, you know, I just could live off

226
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.519
like whatever like negative feelings I was feeling, I could

227
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:42.759
just kind of just get past.

228
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.200
It because I was in a really bad like mentally.

229
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.919
I was in a very kind of like suicidal like

230
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.799
kind of mind you know, mindset, you know, just because

231
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.799
it was so intense dealing with all that. And anyway

232
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.600
I make my way up to like New Mexico, nothing

233
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.799
really happens. I'm not really I'm just like, ah, like

234
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.399
I just kind of had a weird felt like a

235
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.039
weird vibe like I would just I just kind of

236
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.320
would go places and then just just feel like I'm

237
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.000
just gonna keep driving, you know, I just want to

238
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.039
get to get the Yellowstone or whatever. And I did

239
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.600
stop in Durango, which is like Andrews It's actually Andrew's

240
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.720
Lake Trail, and that was there was kind of weird.

241
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.399
Nothing. I didn't see anything, but I had like I

242
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.159
literally got like a mile down the trail and I

243
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.799
was like, I can't.

244
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.720
I was like, I don't think I should go any further,

245
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.960
Like I just got a weird feeling. But like right

246
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.039
when I pulled up, I saw somebody coming down from

247
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.600
the trail and they just looked kind of they just

248
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.000
looked really like like they were just really booking it

249
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.759
and kind of scared and nervous. And I was like, well,

250
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.960
you know, it could be anything. Maybe they could be

251
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.679
nervous about me. You know, I don't know, like I

252
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.759
just you know, I didn't really know what to think

253
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:04.440
of it. But anyway, I get into I basically decided

254
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.000
to turn around and I just had this very like

255
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.759
just just.

256
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.879
I don't know, weird feeling again. And anyway, so I

257
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.480
didn't book anything.

258
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.919
Throughout this whole trip, like I basically just like I

259
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.159
didn't like make any reservations or anything like I just

260
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.519
I just would try to get a hotel wherever I could,

261
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.600
like it just didn't I would end up having to

262
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.279
pay like stupid money for it, which is but I

263
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.080
was just like I didn't know what to do. I

264
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:32.440
was just like I just want to try to see

265
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.840
if I can get up there, and then I don't know,

266
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000
see what happens, you know, I don't know, like I

267
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.399
you know, so I end up I leave Colorado and

268
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.279
I started making my way up to Yellowstone and I

269
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.480
just started getting closer, and I mean, the place is just.

270
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.360
I was just like, wow, this place is just so beautiful.

271
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:59.840
And so I finally arrive and I get there and

272
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:04.799
the park rangers are just checking people like crazy, like

273
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.679
they're I mean, it was like this was July of

274
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.759
twenty eleven, and I was like it was basically it

275
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.039
was not the Headquarters Lodge cabin a Flags ranch, but

276
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.360
it was like the it was like the station that

277
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.799
was before that that I that I first got to,

278
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.480
and they were just checking people like crazy. I was

279
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.759
just like it made me, it really made me like

280
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.000
it went. I went from being like, oh, I'm relaxed

281
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.799
and now I'm like living all this stuff of this

282
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.080
off to being like kind of like really in it,

283
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.440
like oh wow, like this is this is really serious.

284
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.759
I need to be kind of on on an alert.

285
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.480
And I found out later on that a.

286
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.120
Couple a couple was walking They're only like a mile

287
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.559
or two down like one of these trails, like kind

288
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.639
of mirror it was I was. It was about like

289
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.679
I guess, like I guess, like three or four miles

290
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.639
like up before or like north of where I was at.

291
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.200
But basically there was a couple, an elderly couple, and

292
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.320
they were just walking on the trail, and I guess

293
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.519
there was a mother grizzly and her cubs, and it

294
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.080
killed the man and then the woman she like crawled

295
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.720
up in a ball apparently, and it just picked up

296
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.559
the backpack I guess and dropped her.

297
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:24.399
Is what I read.

298
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.799
Big for society, who will be right back after these messages.

299
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.000
But anyway, I didn't really know why they were doing.

300
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.559
I just I was like, all right, well, check my

301
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.879
car and then let me go. So I make my

302
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:54.240
way up north to the headquarters lodge. I'm like all right,

303
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:55.240
I made it.

304
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:55.679
I'm here.

305
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.960
Let's I want to I'm just gonna stay here for

306
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:06.679
the night. This place is beautiful, like like I'm good, and.

307
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:09.720
I uh so I go I go to get I

308
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.200
go get some food and I.

309
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.360
Get like a six pack of this Moose roll beer

310
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.279
and I go back to my I got I rent

311
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.320
like a camping area and they put me like basically

312
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.120
like on the far corner and like I'm right next

313
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.879
to the road, like literally like you could I could

314
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.399
even during the day. I could literally even see through

315
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.960
the trees. You could see the road from where I

316
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.759
was at. And so I said, on my camp, just

317
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.879
try to get you know, just this it's about to

318
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.720
get dark. And I try to set that up. I

319
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.320
get my camp or my tent, you know, set up where, and.

320
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.960
There's people there. There's people around me, There's there's people

321
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:55.480
next to me.

322
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.200
I would say, it seemed like they're kind of like

323
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:02.440
it probably about like sixty percent capacity or something. I mean,

324
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.200
it seemed like they had there's a decent amount of

325
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:08.079
people there for sure. But anyway, I so I finished

326
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:13.039
doing that and I was like, I want to I

327
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.880
want to get some more photos and just kind of

328
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.799
just like look around a little bit more.

329
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.160
And I thought maybe I could go back.

330
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.279
To that the first Ranger station and get like a

331
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.960
I don't know, maybe just get some information or just

332
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.920
just I don't know, just see what else I could find,

333
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.119
you know, just before I just go back and try

334
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.200
to like relax and go to sleep whatever. And I

335
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.599
saw him driving back and there's like a moose in

336
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.720
the road. It's like not a it's it looked like

337
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.400
I guess, I don't know what you would say, like

338
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.880
i'd say maybe like a juvenile to like it wasn't

339
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.480
like really small, but it was not. It wasn't like

340
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:54.200
a baby though, either, but it was just in the

341
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.279
road and just looking like scared, like just looking terrified.

342
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.759
And I'm like, okay, you know, I don't want to

343
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.759
I don't want to mess with you, but I'm just

344
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.440
like I'm just I'm just stopped. I have my head lights,

345
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:08.880
I'm just.

346
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.799
Looking at it and just just just sit there and

347
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.839
I'm like, okay, this thing is not going to move.

348
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.359
And I was probably there for like, I.

349
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.279
Don't know, maybe ten minutes, and I was just like,

350
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.039
all right, this is I'm kind of bored now. And

351
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.119
I'm not it's not moving and I can't go around it.

352
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.640
I don't want to, Like, I just didn't want to

353
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.680
mess with it. So I'm like, so I started to

354
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.319
turn around, I start backing up, and I start to

355
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.960
kind of maneuver, so I'm gonna I can lead, and it.

356
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.559
Darts over to towards the water.

357
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.519
There's like a lake right there, and it darts like

358
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.640
like right over there and like starts hiding like and

359
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:51.799
like behind these bushes, and I'm like like, okay, I'm like, sorry, dude,

360
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.920
I hope I didn't, you know.

361
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.519
So I make my way back to my to my

362
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.960
my camp. So I'm just there. I'm drinking my beer.

363
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:04.799
I think I had like probably like three or four

364
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.880
of them, and they had and this is really stupid.

365
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.640
I will admit this is not was not smart to me.

366
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.000
I was also kind of in a really bad state

367
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.720
of mind. I mean I was kind of I was

368
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.039
really kind of sad of suicidal. I mean there was

369
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.000
a part of me that felt that, like, and so

370
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.319
I think that subconsciously I was like, I didn't care

371
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.480
to leave out the beer cans, but I left them out.

372
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.640
I left them just sitting out and they had like

373
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.000
these They had like these I don't know, these little

374
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.720
contained metal containers where you put your trash and I

375
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.519
didn't do that.

376
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.799
But anyway, so.

377
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.680
I drink my beer, I have a fire going, and

378
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.880
the people next to me, directly next to.

379
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.559
Me or like, they're pretty loud.

380
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.079
They're being like they're just they're actually being really like

381
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.119
obnaxiously loud like and just it was kind of annoying.

382
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.720
It was kind of starting to like bother me.

383
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.119
I was getting kind of like, all right, this kind

384
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.640
of sucks because it was going on like they didn't

385
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.319
they wouldn't stop, and I was like, I don't know,

386
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.240
maybe I should say something, but I was like, no,

387
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.799
I'm not gonna say nothing. But I get out of

388
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.759
my tent. I don't know if I I don't know

389
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.119
if I had to take a piss or what. But

390
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:17.519
I get out of my tent and it's just I

391
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.799
mean it's black.

392
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.640
I mean it's pitch black. You cannot see anything. I

393
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.119
took it. I take one photo. I just take one photo.

394
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.039
Like directly above the sky because I was like I

395
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.680
have to document this because it's just so dark. Something

396
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.559
is just eerily dark. And we had when I was

397
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.440
in the military. We caught like zero illumination. We because

398
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.519
when we were using our night vision goggles, you know,

399
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.599
that was just like it was just you couldn't even see.

400
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.559
It was kind of like they're useless when you have

401
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.000
when it was that dark out.

402
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.039
And I'm just like, wow, this is this is freaky.

403
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.680
So I get back in my tent and so I

404
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:59.119
notice I noticed that all of a sudden, like the

405
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.440
people that were next to me, they're better next to me.

406
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.839
They just go quiet.

407
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.640
They just go like abruptly quiet, Like they went from

408
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:13.400
like loud, like being kind of obnoxious to like completely

409
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:19.720
just absolutely dead silent, like dead silent. And I'm like, okay,

410
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.759
like that's kind of weird. And like I don't know

411
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.720
if maybe like ten to fifteen minutes later, I just

412
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:34.119
hear like these huge footsteps like walking towards me from

413
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.079
like directly from the road, like like it's coming, like

414
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:43.240
something is walking like directly. It was just like right

415
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:45.319
across the road, like right at me. And it was

416
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:50.079
just like the details now, like all the details of

417
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:54.000
like that moment, like what happened, I will say, they're

418
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:55.160
kind of a little fuzzy.

419
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:56.519
At this point. I mean it's been a long time,

420
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.799
and it was very traumatic. I mean I was. I meant,

421
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:02.599
I immediately I know that.

422
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.359
I immediately thought to myself, is this really happening?

423
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.799
Like I was just is this I was like, is

424
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.920
this really happening?

425
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.920
Like I just kept saying that to myself, like is

426
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.039
this Like, no way, this is not really happening. I

427
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.680
just kept saying that to myself over like there's no way,

428
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:20.759
And I'm like, this is really happening. And i just

429
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:26.680
grab my mace, my bear mace, and I literally I

430
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.279
put it up.

431
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.519
I lay down on.

432
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.599
My right side. I just lay down as flat as possible,

433
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.720
and I put the bear mace. I'm holding the bear

434
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.160
mace in both of my hands and I put it

435
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.400
up to the temple on my forehead, and I have

436
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:46.039
the pan or whatever. I'm just trying to get ready

437
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.319
to like spray whatever. And that's all the protection I had.

438
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.599
I had nothing else. I had no weapons, nothing like,

439
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.759
there was nothing if whatever. It was like I could

440
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:01.240
not have defended myself. But it just in like.

441
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.279
Very It was.

442
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.640
When people say I've heard I've listened to people say

443
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.799
that when they have like I mean, when they try

444
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.640
to be undetected, like that's that's what it sounds like.

445
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.119
At first, I thought it was maybe someone pissed off

446
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.319
at me because I left the beer cans out and

447
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.160
they were like or they were checking, like walking around

448
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.000
and make sure like I was doing the right thing,

449
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.960
and I was, because I was like I was worried

450
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.319
about that, like too, I was like, well, great now

451
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.240
I'm gonna get in trouble for this. Nothing was disturbed

452
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.519
like it did not it did whatever it was it.

453
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:40.519
I do remember it leaning over and like just kind

454
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.359
of being there and I literally laid there in like

455
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.000
a like like I felt like I was literally paralyzed

456
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.240
with like I mean, I was literally paralyzed with fears

457
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.319
and I laid there for three straight hours, like I

458
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.519
literally I couldn't do anything. I think I don't even

459
00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:59.240
know if I had my eyes open, and I think

460
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.279
maybe I haven't closed I felt like if I did.

461
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.519
And at first when I first started hearing it, like

462
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.680
I people that I have told this story too, like

463
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:10.440
you know, why don't you look at it or why

464
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.920
didn't you see it? And how like first of all, it

465
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:13.400
was so dark out like I don't know what I

466
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.000
would have been able to see. But then I also

467
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:20.279
felt like if I did try to look, because the tent,

468
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.720
the way my tint was is like it was really

469
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.599
kind of open. Like all I had to do was

470
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.839
just kind of like take a flap and just kind

471
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.200
of push it up a little bit, and I could

472
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.880
have just like looked and seen or tried to see something,

473
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.160
you know what I mean, maybe like a foot or something.

474
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:40.279
But I just felt like what with whatever whatever it

475
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.839
could have been, I couldn't It was not it didn't

476
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.799
feel like it was smart to react or do anything,

477
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.920
and I.

478
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:51.240
Kind of felt like I did.

479
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:55.039
I don't know if I had a telepathic experience. I

480
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.680
know people have talked about you know, people have talked

481
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:01.480
about that before. I will say my dad, My dad

482
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.559
was a Vietnam veteran. He was actually he had a

483
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.359
near death experience where he was like blown up in Vietnam.

484
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.279
With what he told me, like it kind of felt

485
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:14.319
like my whole that whole experience with like this, like

486
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.279
with whatever came up to my tent or like I

487
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.680
felt like it was it was like something like switched

488
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.599
inside of me, Like when that happened, like it was

489
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.480
it's like I went from like being.

490
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.720
Like it was like it tried to tell me, like

491
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.720
I don't know, it's like keep living or something. It

492
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:41.519
was weird. It was it's like it scared me into

493
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:47.160
like this survival mode and it just splited. It turned

494
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.160
something on inside of me. And I thought about my

495
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:50.799
dad and.

496
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.200
That experience that he had, and I don't know, I

497
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.720
didn't think I was gonna get kind of emotional about this.

498
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.160
But but yeah, it just it really it flipped something

499
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.359
on me. It was like I.

500
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:04.559
Literally felt like whatever it was was standing over me

501
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:12.559
was like telling me, like like warning me and like

502
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.160
telling me.

503
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.799
Like just I don't know, like it was trying to

504
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:18.920
tell me to live or something.

505
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.480
It was really it's like it was like saying It's

506
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.880
like it was saying I could crush you right now.

507
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.279
But I'm not gonna like that's I don't know. It's

508
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.640
just it's.

509
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.599
Really odd and it had like such an amazing experience,

510
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:40.000
its profound experience on me and later on during so

511
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.640
and I don't I really believe.

512
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:43.480
I can't.

513
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.680
I know, even though I did not see it and

514
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.000
I only heard it and I heard it walking in

515
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:54.200
to my area, I really believe that I don't believe

516
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.640
that it was like a moose. And I don't believe

517
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:57.880
that it was a barre. And that's the only thing

518
00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:59.240
that I think that could have been. And I don't

519
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.440
think it was a human being because if it was

520
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.519
a human being, I think that they would have probably

521
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:05.119
said something to me, and I think I probably would

522
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.680
have gotten in trouble for I mean, somebody would have

523
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.720
said something or been like, hey, it's not smart for

524
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.000
you to leave this out here, you know, like you

525
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.559
gotta you gotta like you gotta pick this up, you know,

526
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:19.000
like and I feel I think to myself, like, you know,

527
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.640
if it was a bear, which I mean, it could

528
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.240
have been a bear, but I.

529
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:24.200
Don't think that it was.

530
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:27.599
I never heard anything but two feet the whole entire time,

531
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:31.440
Like I never heard like mobile feet. I didn't hear

532
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.880
any kind of like swaying or anything like that. It

533
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.079
was just very I don't know how to It just

534
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.160
sounded very.

535
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.400
Deep, like very the footsteps.

536
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.240
It was like it was like soft but just deep,

537
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.839
like a just heavy like just it sounded huge. It

538
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:54.759
did not sound I mean, I thought human, because it's

539
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.279
I can only hear two feet the whole entire time.

540
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:59.599
That's all I heard. That the whole time. I have

541
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.119
no idea how long it hung out there for I have,

542
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.839
but all I know is I did.

543
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.599
I was. I was in a like I was in

544
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:07.839
a state where I could not.

545
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.279
Move for three hours, like I could not do any

546
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.079
I couldn't do anything at all. I couldn't move, I

547
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.200
couldn't run. My car was literally like next to me.

548
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.279
I could have like it was not very far from

549
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:23.119
me to get into my car, maybe not even.

550
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.960
Like like maybe ten feet if that.

551
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.279
And I mean, and I just I don't know. I mean,

552
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:35.119
it was just very it was very life changing. It

553
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:36.039
was very powerful.

554
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.000
I mean it might not sound like people listening to

555
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:43.000
this like you know, you know, as intense, like a

556
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:46.519
stare down, you know, but like it just it felt

557
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.160
it was.

558
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:51.240
It was very, very incredibly powerful. And I and I

559
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:54.839
I just I really didn't. I mean, I couldn't even

560
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:58.920
believe that it just was happening. I mean, it just

561
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:02.480
it was just so it was. I did not I thought,

562
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.039
even with my interest, you know what I mean, being

563
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:07.759
interested in stuff like that, I did, I thought that

564
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.240
it would in my mind, I was thinking, like I

565
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.240
thought it would be a little more different. I thought

566
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.880
my I thought my experience would be a little bit

567
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.599
more just more like face to face. I figured I

568
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:22.519
would have some kind of like a face to face

569
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.079
and I didn't, unfortunately, And I drove.

570
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.839
I even drove around the park. I stayed in the

571
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.960
park for about four days and just travel around. I

572
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:35.960
hiked everywhere. I saw a lot of like wildlife. They

573
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:37.279
have like these boards.

574
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.119
That were that would document if someone saw whatever, and

575
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.720
it was all kinds, I mean everything, you name it.

576
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.680
Another place that I camped at. When I was there,

577
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.359
I actually was right next to grizzly like literally like

578
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:54.240
within feet of one. And at the Grand Village campground,

579
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.839
they basically told us like when we got there, like

580
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:59.680
they had signs like, hey, you know we have grizzly

581
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.480
here too. You know you gotta be careful but like

582
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:08.680
this thing. So so I ended up camping there anyway,

583
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.759
which nothing happened.

584
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:13.240
Big for a society who would be right back after

585
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:14.039
these messages.

586
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.519
And in fact, this bear was like really like I

587
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.400
don't know, it was just a very huge grizzly bear

588
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.440
and it would like walk through the camp like area

589
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:41.000
and I just wouldn't mess with anybody.

590
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.160
But one day or I guess it was.

591
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.880
I don't know if it was the day that I

592
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.559
got my that I rented a spot there, or if

593
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:50.480
it was the day after, but I definitely like I

594
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.920
definitely saw it, like it walked right past me and

595
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.960
it was just super chill.

596
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.839
It didn't even care.

597
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.559
But I mean I could hear it moving like it

598
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:02.200
would not like I mean, they kind of snort and

599
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.000
stuff and they're just they're just kind of like clumsy,

600
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:08.839
and this thing was coming into my tent. Like the

601
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.440
thing that walked into my area was very it was trying.

602
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:16.480
It felt like it was trying to be undetected, which

603
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:20.400
is just like I mean, who does that, you know

604
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.759
what I mean, who who tries to do to do that?

605
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:28.880
But anyway, I just went on with my trip and

606
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.839
I I just continued on and I was like, man,

607
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.200
I really hope I see something.

608
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:35.720
I mean, I would drive around at.

609
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.799
Night, I would drive like I I was like, man,

610
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.079
I thought maybe for sure. I was like, yeah, I

611
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:43.920
think I'm gonna have like I think I could probably

612
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.000
have another like encounter if that something like that happened

613
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.480
to me, like just right that soon. You know, I

614
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.000
just think that you know, it could possibly happen again.

615
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.759
Oh also I wanted to say, is that and the

616
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.119
reason what I think I this is what I think

617
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:00.279
and what what this is what I believe what happened.

618
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.319
I do believe whatever it was, I believe that it

619
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.240
was a bigfoot.

620
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.519
I really, I really, that's just what I believe. I mean,

621
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.640
I I that's just what I think and believe in

622
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:13.759
my heart. I mean, it just there's just nothing else

623
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.000
that it could have been.

624
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.200
And I think what happened was that I was potentially

625
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.599
disturbing it from getting its food. And that's that's the

626
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.000
reason why I think that it like approached me. I

627
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:26.480
think it was kind of like coming up like hey,

628
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.599
I'm I'm I could crush you like an insect right now,

629
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.640
but I'm gonna let you live. And it was just

630
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.279
it was crazy. I mean, I came back, it was

631
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.559
very My life was very rough. When I came back.

632
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.279
It was still I had a lot of stuff I

633
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:41.799
had to face.

634
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.200
You know, I fill for these people in California because

635
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.640
that's basically what I lost everything I ended up. When

636
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.000
I got home, it was tough. There was no way

637
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.599
to really go back to doing what I was doing,

638
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.119
and I had to basically just completely change course. My

639
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:00.880
life dramatically changed after that, and I had to be

640
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.880
strong to get through all that because I mean, it

641
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.200
was just so it was very heartbreaking. I mean, I

642
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.200
had it was my I had built my I had

643
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.039
built my first home by myself.

644
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.880
And well, I mean I didn't build it my but

645
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.200
you know, I.

646
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.480
Had my first home built, and I was just you know,

647
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:26.759
my ex of seventeen years. I mean, everything was it

648
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.000
was just everything was gone, you know, it was just

649
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:33.759
everything was falling apart in my life and I had

650
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:38.400
to really pick it all up. And just having that experience.

651
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.960
Had I not have that, it would have I don't know.

652
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.319
I don't know if I probably even be here. I mean,

653
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.799
and I'm sorry to get so emotional. People to usually

654
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:50.839
tell these stories and they get like kind of emotional,

655
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:54.480
but stuff like this, and you know it's probably normal,

656
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.079
but I'm not. I didn't really intend to, but but

657
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.920
it was just it was very powerful and I just

658
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.599
I just I.

659
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:01.440
Believe that they exist.

660
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.480
I don't know, I don't I think that they're I

661
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.880
don't know exactly what they are, you know, I think

662
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:11.559
that they're they're really there are flesh and blood creatures.

663
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.000
That's what.

664
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.559
I believe that, and it's kind of hard for me

665
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:20.199
to wrap my mind around some things, but I try

666
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:21.960
to like try to keep.

667
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.199
My mind open to you know. I don't know when

668
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:26.360
people talk about.

669
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:28.840
Things of them being able to teleport, but I just

670
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:34.039
think they're really very strong and very powerful, and they

671
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.079
and what's what's going on right now in the world,

672
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:41.360
and just how the world is kind of burning burning up,

673
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:43.639
you know. They I think that they're just I think

674
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:48.079
that that just pushes them, you know, into more isolated

675
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.039
areas and they just stay more hidden. I've spent like

676
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:54.599
a lot of time on the road traveling for my

677
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.480
jobs and just you know, being in the military and

678
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:01.280
being all over the place, and I just I, you know,

679
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.079
I always feared i'd probably see something walking across the

680
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:08.880
road or something, but I never really have, unfortunately, and

681
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.480
hopefully hopefully someday I try to. I try to find

682
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.440
areas to go to go venture out. I lived at

683
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.199
Houston for a little while, and I would.

684
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.159
Go into like San Houston Natural Forest and I would.

685
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.159
Just get out there just to kind of just just

686
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:27.440
clear my mind and just try to like just figure

687
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.760
out life. And you know, I would just I would

688
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.639
definitely get some weird since freaky, but Sam Houston Natural

689
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.079
Forest is definitely it's got some pretty freaky vibes out there.

690
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:41.559
But yeah, let me see. But yeah, I also I

691
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:45.039
had another experience. I don't know what this was. It

692
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:46.199
was in Austin.

693
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.800
It was around I don't know, twenty twelve, I believe,

694
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:54.079
and it was just before I lost my home. And

695
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:56.400
I would just I would always keep my back porch

696
00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.719
open and my backboard the door in the back porch,

697
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.760
just play music and just kind of like just pace around,

698
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:05.920
like walk around and just kind of like, you know,

699
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.639
just just I don't know, try to figure out life.

700
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.719
And one night I just I look out and I

701
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.280
was living in Austin, like kind of by the way.

702
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.039
I was actually right next to the airport. I live

703
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:19.360
right by the airport.

704
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.079
And I just I walk out and I look and

705
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:26.039
it's just the most strangest thing I've ever seen in

706
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:29.280
my life. I'd never I mean, it wasn't like freaky,

707
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:32.280
but it was like it was definitely weird. It was

708
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:35.719
like so so describe what I saw. Was like it

709
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.079
looked like a It looked like if you could take

710
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.440
spokes of a bike and heat them up with like

711
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:45.199
to where they're like hot, like red hot, but they're

712
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:48.679
like all uniform and they're all like in like a

713
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.039
kind of like a kind of like spread out like

714
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.960
a like a like a flower. But it was like

715
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:00.239
a spiral in the sky, and there was no fires

716
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.119
going on, there was nothing. There was not a time

717
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:04.760
of year for that to be even happening. And it

718
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.920
was like it was like in suspended animate It was

719
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.159
like it was like it was it was like it

720
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:14.800
was moving, but it was moving very very very very slow.

721
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.800
But almost kind of like a but you can only.

722
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.039
See just like these like lines, and it were just

723
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.320
kind of like all spread out like in a spiral

724
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:26.679
that was like kind of like like moving like a

725
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:28.559
kind of like a like what you would imagine maybe

726
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:29.760
like a black hole or something.

727
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:30.639
I don't know, but.

728
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:33.199
Like it was just the weirdest thing and it just

729
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:36.119
kind of faded out, and I try to, like I

730
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.000
think that I try to take photos of it or

731
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:40.760
take video of it, but it didn't like really come out,

732
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:43.800
and I was just like, well, you know, whatever that

733
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:47.400
could be, Like I don't know. Sometimes like I'm really

734
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:49.480
kind of like in that mindset where oh yeah, I

735
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:51.880
need to capture this, and then sometimes I'm just like, oh,

736
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.320
I don't I don't know if I really care.

737
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.239
But but yeah, it was just a very very strange thing.

738
00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:59.440
I know that there's a lot of people and a

739
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:01.039
lot of people had like's just.

740
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:05.000
Weird, unexplained seem unexplained things, and I've never heard anybody

741
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.320
ever describe anything like this or see anything like it.

742
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:09.679
It wasn't my eyes.

743
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:12.599
Either, Like I wasn't like, you know, you have like

744
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.000
one of those things where you you know, you look

745
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:17.599
at lights and then you look away and it like

746
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.239
makes sure you know it's I don't know what that's called,

747
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:22.199
but it just has a in print or your eye

748
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.800
kind of thing. Like it was not like that at all,

749
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:27.719
Like it was like stationed like in that area, like

750
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.920
it was sitting in the sky kind of like I

751
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.519
don't know, just not really not super high up, but

752
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.159
just sitting there and it was just it looked like

753
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.840
it like it was kind of moving or whatever, but

754
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:44.440
it just kind of just disappeared, just like slowly, just

755
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.639
kind of just was gone. I don't know, I mean,

756
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:52.159
it was just but yeah, but anyway, but that's basically

757
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:54.800
my story. I mean, it's sorry for getting so emotional.

758
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.239
It was very intense for me. I really I wish

759
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.280
I could kind of go back in time. I feel

760
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.239
like so much time has passed that it's like it's

761
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:07.280
not as clear in my mind, but just the just

762
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.559
the circumstances of all that and like what happened and

763
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:13.440
what was happening in that time is still pretty you know,

764
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:16.400
I still remember all that pretty clearly.

765
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:19.559
So it's but yeah, I've heard other people have.

766
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.840
Had like other experiences there in fact, in fact, especially

767
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.360
like that exact same area. One of the things that

768
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.039
was also as kind of unusual is that like to

769
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.079
everybody the morning after, so I took a photo of

770
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.800
like it said, it's March seven fifteen in the morning.

771
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.079
I think I was up around seven o'clock, I'm pretty sure,

772
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.920
and I and everybody was gone, like completely gone. I

773
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.800
didn't have a chance to ask anybody if they hadn't

774
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.559
like experienced anything, which is like, I mean, that's kind

775
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:48.000
of unusual. I mean, you just but I mean, everybody's

776
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:50.679
camping and want to get in you know, people like

777
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.039
to just get on their way and do their thing.

778
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.559
But I just I was wishing that I could have,

779
00:39:56.679 --> 00:40:01.119
you know, asked people around because it was very weird.

780
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.320
It was just very weird how they just like we're

781
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.679
being all like loud and just like carrying on like

782
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:11.199
it was nothing like it was like they didn't have

783
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:14.239
they weren't concerned about anybody else it was around them,

784
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:18.039
and they just go like abruptly silent, like really silent,

785
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:19.360
like not a peep.

786
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.559
You know, I don't know, I mean, I just I

787
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:26.639
don't know. I think if anything, you know, it was

788
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:28.960
checking people out or something. I don't know. I mean,

789
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.159
something for sure was walking around.

790
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:38.440
Brent, thank you for sharing. That is an incredibly emotional story.

791
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.000
I don't think you should ever feel like you have

792
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:45.760
to apologize for how that affected you. I mean, that

793
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:53.679
is a life changing, literally life changing experience what you experienced.

794
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.360
And I've been in a situation where I've been in

795
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:01.960
a tent alone in a place and something was walking

796
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.840
around my tent at two or three am in the morning.

797
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:06.599
And it is.

798
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.519
Very very intense living in that space where it's just

799
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.760
you and whatever is out there. Yeah, I don't talk

800
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:16.960
about it a lot, but it is is very very intense.

801
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.039
And how did that.

802
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.480
I found that when I was in that situation affected

803
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.079
me a lot of different physical ways. Did did it

804
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:32.599
affect how you were breathing or your blood pressure? Did

805
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.599
you find any any weird things starting to put to you?

806
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:42.320
No, I just could not move, like I literally nothing

807
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.800
I could. I was paralyzed, Like I mean, I was

808
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:49.440
literally paralyzed.

809
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:50.159
So I was.

810
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.559
I was like my body was like constricted, like that's

811
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:56.559
how it felt like it was constricting and just like

812
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:01.519
just holding I was it was like I was in

813
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.239
this like this frozen like just cr like cringed position like.

814
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:09.519
I don't know it just it was just weird.

815
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:12.079
And what was weird is at the time like I

816
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.760
couldn't it was like I had no concept of time,

817
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:17.880
like it's weird that I was. I was there for

818
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:21.079
three hours, and I didn't like it felt like fifteen minutes,

819
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:24.199
Like it felt like it didn't feel like that I had.

820
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.039
Been there that long, you know what I mean, Like I.

821
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:29.360
Felt like maybe thirty thirty thirty five minutes, but it

822
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.119
was three hours, three full hours. So I at that point,

823
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:36.440
after three hours, I felt like I can move and

824
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:39.000
I just reached down to check my phone and I

825
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:41.760
was like it was like it hit three hours had

826
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:46.159
passed and I was like, I just I was like wow,

827
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.400
Like I was like WHOA. And I don't even know

828
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:50.960
if it was there the whole time or not. It

829
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:55.199
was hard for me. I would hear things like I

830
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:56.880
would hear like like more.

831
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.320
Movement and stuff. But I was just like at that point,

832
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:01.639
I think, I think what what I was doing? My

833
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.400
mind my mind was trying to like just block it out.

834
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:06.320
My mind was just like, oh we got.

835
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:08.679
Just you just got to block this out, like you

836
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:11.440
just you don't want to, like like you don't. It's

837
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.400
like my mind was like you don't want to be

838
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.000
like we we don't want to be experiencing this like

839
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:21.599
it just that's what. And that was That's all you

840
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:24.199
know I can say. I mean, it was just it

841
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:26.719
was so nuts and I and I and it was

842
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:27.239
so weird.

843
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:30.920
I mean it's like I I man, I just I

844
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:32.559
don't know. I wish I could have I wish I

845
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:33.480
could have asked the.

846
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:36.280
People next to me if they what they experienced. And

847
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.039
it was I mean out of kN you, like everybody

848
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:40.960
was gone too. Like when I woke up, it was

849
00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:43.559
like everybody had left the part. I was like what

850
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.599
the I was like, where did it really go like

851
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.039
this like then no one like staying like doesn't people

852
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:50.880
don't people like cause they had like people look like

853
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:52.519
they were like set up for like you know, like

854
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.039
they're playing on stand there for a little while, you know,

855
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:58.920
like and it wasn't like the weather was really the

856
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:00.400
weather was not really at all.

857
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.280
It was actually very nice. It was it was a

858
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.400
little cold and kind of chilly. But but yeah, when.

859
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:12.159
You got up that morning, did you notice anything weird

860
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.440
about the area around your tent, like on the ground,

861
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:18.719
was there anything, Yeah, anything you start.

862
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:22.000
You didn't notice anything. Now the ground was very it

863
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:26.400
was really dry, like just super super dry, like it's

864
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:27.960
like and it was kind of there was a little

865
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.000
bit of a like a wind, a little bit of

866
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.320
a let's slight breathe. I think it kind of like

867
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:34.840
it just there was just I don't think there was

868
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.079
any kind of like there. The soil was just not

869
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:41.800
really like that around me to really make anything. But

870
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:45.360
I I looked, I walked around and looked looked around

871
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:45.920
for it.

872
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:48.440
And I didn't. I just didn't see anything.

873
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:50.840
I took like I said, I took a photo of

874
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.239
like there's like an open I guess it's kind of

875
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:56.719
it's like a trail, I guess, like the I don't

876
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:58.480
know if it's like a full trailer. It just kind

877
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.199
of opens up, but it's like it was. But I

878
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:04.599
just took a photo out just kind of like you know,

879
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.400
this is where I'm you know, this is this happened

880
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.400
here kind of thing, you know what I mean, Like

881
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.280
that's you know, it was not really.

882
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:14.599
Like a beautiful photo of anything like spectacular.

883
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.039
It was just like all right, click, you know, just

884
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:21.000
I'm just marking this, you know, for for for my reference.

885
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:24.880
But yeah, big for society will be right back.

886
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:44.639
After these messages, you also mentioned that you had an

887
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:48.440
experience where you knew that there was definitely a grizzly

888
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:51.920
a few feet away from you.

889
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.280
No, I saw it.

890
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.320
Yeah, like I saw it and like I was, I

891
00:45:57.360 --> 00:45:59.000
could hear it and see it and it was not

892
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.400
far from me. Like I wasn't trying to like take

893
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:04.000
photos of it or video it, but.

894
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:06.519
I mean you can you can. It was at the

895
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:07.239
It's at.

896
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:11.480
The Grant Village campground, is what the photo says were

897
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:14.360
that's where the area is. But if you if you

898
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.679
look that up or contact them, I'm sure that there's

899
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:20.920
like they probably have a history of like the they

900
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.079
have to have some documentation of it, because they told

901
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:25.119
me when I was renting my space there, They're like,

902
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:28.599
they're like, we have a grizzly that walks around here,

903
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.119
and this is like this is not close to where

904
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:32.920
I was at, and this is like further up, like

905
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:34.800
from where I was at. This is a much further

906
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:39.639
like this is like I mean, you can look and

907
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:41.679
see where it was, but it just it didn't seem

908
00:46:41.719 --> 00:46:44.599
like it was in the same area. But like this, yeah,

909
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.800
it definitely walked up, but that was not and we

910
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:49.760
weren't told that that was something we had to Like

911
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.960
they said they were they were checking people, but they

912
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:58.239
weren't saying that they were expecting you know, I don't know,

913
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.679
they just they just said that it can happened, you know,

914
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:02.400
I mean it could. They're they're all over the par

915
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:06.000
I mean, they're they're everywhere. So but yeah, I definitely did.

916
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.079
I was in next next to it, and I'm like,

917
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:09.320
it was pretty close.

918
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.159
It walked.

919
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:12.960
It would basically just walk through the camp and it

920
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.519
would hang out in that area the Grant Village campground

921
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.000
or whatever. And I think someone actually I don't know

922
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:20.480
if it was.

923
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:23.079
The same one, but they there's I read recently. It

924
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.159
was like I guess it was put down because they

925
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:30.119
someone tried to mess with it or something, and I didn't.

926
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:30.880
I didn't.

927
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:33.239
I was just all I was doing was going from

928
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.519
place to I was just like I'm just going on

929
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.519
from another place and I'm on a camp here again,

930
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:42.079
which was I don't know, like it's kind of crazy

931
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.679
that I even felt like comfortable camping again. I don't

932
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.199
even know how. I was, Like, I'm surprised that I

933
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:51.519
wasn't like terrified. I think I was at that, but

934
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:54.199
like I said, I was just like it just excited.

935
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:55.159
It did.

936
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:58.639
It scared me, but it also like it just did

937
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.239
something to me, Like it's like turn something on inside me.

938
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:03.159
And I was just like I was like kind of

939
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:06.679
just obsessed, Like like when when I stayed at Old Faithful,

940
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.039
I mean I drove around for like at least an

941
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:10.639
hour and a half that night and I would just

942
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:14.480
drive like I would drive, I blast my music really loud,

943
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:17.719
and then I would just turn it completely off and

944
00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:20.599
I didn't really have much but but yeah, I just

945
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:23.800
just the hearing that just hearing how it's movements and

946
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:27.960
hearing it walk. The bear was really it was clumsy.

947
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.559
It was just it was like it.

948
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:33.400
Was you hear like kind of groaning and like.

949
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:38.679
Just you know, doing stuff like like the way I've

950
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:41.639
heard what bears sound and like you we know what

951
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:43.119
bears sound like it doesn't.

952
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.199
It was not. That's not what I was hearing.

953
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:48.800
Like this was like quiet, like something was trying to

954
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.280
like not be detected, but it was still letting me

955
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.840
know it was there. Like it was like it literally

956
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.719
just I just know that it leaned over in my head,

957
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:02.280
like leaned over me, like literally like directly over.

958
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:05.920
Me and just kind of like just stood like just

959
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:09.079
was there and I just I could just feel it

960
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:11.679
its presence, like it was just it was just so crazy.

961
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:14.639
But I just I don't I'm very convinced that it

962
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.719
was not you know, it was not that it was

963
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.559
not a bear. It was not not a moose like

964
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:21.119
I think I would have.

965
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:23.559
I think I would have definitely heard the moose if anything,

966
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:27.039
I mean and if if the mama moose around was

967
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:29.760
ever was around, and like it was far enough up

968
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:33.119
the road that I don't think that they I don't know,

969
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:36.079
I don't think it would have been able to find

970
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:38.599
me or figure out where I was at or if

971
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:42.639
that was me, because it's not like you could see

972
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:45.920
where I was going, and it's not like it knew

973
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:48.159
where I was camped at, you know what I mean,

974
00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:51.719
But like I don't know, like I just.

975
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.639
I just I don't know. I still to this day.

976
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:56.599
It's it's it's.

977
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.719
Been something that's been something that I think about like

978
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:03.960
all the time, and I you know, I'm nervous to

979
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:07.440
have like, you know, a face to face, but you know,

980
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.840
at the same time, you know, I it would be

981
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:12.320
I think it'd be very interesting to have my own

982
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.719
encounter someday and see, you know.

983
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.559
Just see with my own eyes.

984
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.599
And just I just I hear so many like interesting

985
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:23.960
you know stories, and you know, I feg I feel.

986
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:25.280
Like we're gonna catch up at one point.

987
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:28.320
I actually one of the songs, I actually created a

988
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.239
song for the I don't know if you might men

989
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.559
mentioned about or are we talked about this earlier, but yeah,

990
00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:36.039
but I make music and I've been kind of making

991
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:37.800
claudes and stuff like that. They kind of like, I

992
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:39.480
don't know, that's just kind of like a therapeutic thing

993
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.400
for me. Just it just helps me kind of like

994
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.280
kind of work things out and just I don't know,

995
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:48.639
it's just interesting me. But I wrote a song called

996
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:53.320
titled uh first Contact A close Encounter, and it just

997
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:57.039
it was just inspired that by that, like by that

998
00:50:57.039 --> 00:50:59.280
that event, and I wrote a lot of those songs

999
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.960
that are known, like I've never I wrote a song

1000
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:03.800
about it orbs If anybody wants to check it out,

1001
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:05.840
it's called the Wild Whimpers. That's the name of the

1002
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:11.360
it's the instrumental music. But but yeah, hopefully I'll have

1003
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.679
more experiences in the future. I don't I don't get

1004
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.119
out as much as and the world as often as

1005
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:21.400
i'd like to. I mean, we supposedly have. There's actually

1006
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.239
there's a space, it's really crazy here in Oklahoma City

1007
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:27.280
that has it's a it's a nature reserve that actually

1008
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:31.639
has there's a history of people having like seeing stuff

1009
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.119
like walk through and.

1010
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:36.159
The way that they the way that the land is

1011
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:42.960
like basically like like situated, it's they can basically just

1012
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.519
like anything could walk through like this kind of like

1013
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:48.960
it's a kind of like a quarter almost.

1014
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:50.800
That like kind of opens up into the reserve. But

1015
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:54.639
like outside of that reserve, it's just nothing. But houses

1016
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.440
and stuff. So but you know, people.

1017
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.199
Have supposedly have stuff. I mean it's seen, you know,

1018
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:03.920
seen and encountered things out there multiple people. So I

1019
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:04.239
don't know.

1020
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:06.800
I try to get out there and I don't know,

1021
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.199
have another experience and see something.

1022
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:13.039
But nothing hasn't nothing, nothing's really happened as it yet.

1023
00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:15.599
I mean it seems like, you know, like I.

1024
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:17.639
Said, with all the stuff that's going on in this world,

1025
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:20.159
I feel like they're they're kind of you know, these

1026
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:22.280
fires and stuff like that. I think about like how

1027
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:24.679
that affects them and they, you know, just how they

1028
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:27.400
deal with all the elements, you know, cold all that.

1029
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:30.960
I mean, obviously they're adapted to it, but it's just

1030
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:33.679
like definitely fires and stuff like that, that's got to

1031
00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:36.920
be something that's really you know, I just imagine that's

1032
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:38.920
why it pushes them in certain areas.

1033
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.679
And I also reached out to run Warhead. I actually

1034
00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:44.239
made another version of.

1035
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.280
That song and added some clips of the Sierra Sounds

1036
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:49.280
to it. I just thought it sounded really cool, but

1037
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.280
I ended up taking taking it down. I reached out

1038
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:54.639
that he was okay with me using it, Like I

1039
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:55.920
we reached.

1040
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:57.480
I talked to him through email, and he was okay,

1041
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.360
he gave me permission. He just wanted to give him

1042
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:00.920
credit for it.

1043
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:03.159
But I was like, they're working, they're they're working on

1044
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:06.679
they're currently working on a documentary about the year, about

1045
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.719
the camp, and I just didn't I didn't want anythink that.

1046
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:11.719
I didn't want anybody to think that I was like

1047
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.320
writing trying to write off his team or something, or

1048
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:18.280
just being like because I I had mentioned to him,

1049
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:22.079
like I had mentioned to him about like maybe like

1050
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:24.360
doing like has anybody I asked him that if anybody

1051
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:27.280
helped made like like made a movie about his life

1052
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:29.920
or about his experiences out there, because I think because

1053
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:33.000
I thought what they experienced was very interesting, and I

1054
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:37.719
thought that like, I mean, him his his the serious

1055
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:41.480
sounds and the uh the Patterson Gimlok footage, those are

1056
00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:45.199
like those are the two most convincing pieces of evidence

1057
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:48.119
to me, because I mean they're they're during a time

1058
00:53:48.199 --> 00:53:52.239
where it's really really really difficult to take that. But

1059
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:55.280
I reached out to him about it and about that,

1060
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:56.360
and so I.

1061
00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:58.519
Might maybe release that later on. I don't know. I mean,

1062
00:53:58.559 --> 00:53:59.400
he said it's okay.

1063
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:02.079
I just told my would I would I decided to

1064
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:05.039
take it down for the moment just see, you know,

1065
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:08.800
just let you know, just just release my music as

1066
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:11.400
for you know, I just want to let my you know,

1067
00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:14.679
music se for itself for now and then see where

1068
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:15.119
it goes.

1069
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:16.880
But maybe later on, you know.

1070
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:18.280
I told them that they're welcome to use that for

1071
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:23.480
that documentary they would like to, but yeah, that's something else.

1072
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:27.719
Well, we'll definitely have you know, your music linked in

1073
00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:29.840
the show notes for this so people can go and

1074
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:33.000
and check that out. But I hope you do continue

1075
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.960
to go out into nature, and it sounds like you

1076
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.360
would be going with the right intention, and I think

1077
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:43.360
if you continue to do that, you may definitely have

1078
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.719
something else happen in the future. And you know, would

1079
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:47.519
love to hear about that.

1080
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:48.280
Yeah, for sure.

1081
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:51.880
I think it's just going to be I think, you know, honestly,

1082
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:53.960
I feel like it's going to be like it's just

1083
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.719
going to be another unexpected something like it'll be it'll

1084
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:02.119
be something that I don't expect, because that's what that's

1085
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:06.639
it seemed like when I was intently trying to find something,

1086
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:10.280
it was harder, like it just something. It was just

1087
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:13.039
like I was But like when I was not even

1088
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:14.079
like expecting it.

1089
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:16.320
That's when it was like, you know what I mean,

1090
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:20.519
like it just I was like, whoa, like it just

1091
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:23.239
it just it just it just I.

1092
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:27.039
Don't know, I mean, it just it just I feel like,

1093
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:29.719
you know, I don't know if I would actually, you know,

1094
00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:31.400
if I ever saw one like, I don't know if

1095
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:32.599
i'd even be prepared for that.

1096
00:55:32.639 --> 00:55:34.800
But you think I guess I kind of think in

1097
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:38.400
my mind that I'm I I am like in a

1098
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:40.920
sense preparing myself for that, but you never know what.

1099
00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.480
I don't know what to expect. I mean, here's so

1100
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:45.840
many stories from people their reactions, and.

1101
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:50.400
I mean, you know, I just it's it's you just

1102
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:53.519
never know, like I guess what you would expect, you know.

1103
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:57.519
But but anyway, but I really appreciate you letting me

1104
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:00.519
share my story again. I sorry forgetting so I just

1105
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:03.639
it wasn't I was not expecting that at all, but

1106
00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:06.960
it was definitely very tense. My I think I wish

1107
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:10.000
I could share my collage like that of that I

1108
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:12.519
did for my dad, because that was really kind of

1109
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:14.840
I felt like those experiences were really kind of like

1110
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.360
his the way he described it, and just kind of

1111
00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:19.400
like it was very very spiritual, and I think that

1112
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:21.800
there's a I think there is like a very like

1113
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.079
deep like there's.

1114
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:24.719
Something about them.

1115
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:27.280
There's just something that's very I don't know, it's just

1116
00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:29.920
it's like this this sense that they that's just.

1117
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:31.239
I don't know.

1118
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:34.280
I think, I mean, they they I think they are

1119
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:36.039
in a sense maybe you know, a little bit more

1120
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:40.760
advanced and just a very primal way, you know, and

1121
00:56:41.239 --> 00:56:46.239
we're kind of more heading towards that kind of like tech.

1122
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:49.679
You know, we're just kind of heading in the direction

1123
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:52.159
a different direction. I feel like humans are just we're

1124
00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:57.800
moving completely away, we're going more digitized and more, and

1125
00:56:57.880 --> 00:57:01.320
they're you know, they're they're just you know, they don't

1126
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:04.320
I don't think they probably actively think of like we're hunting.

1127
00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:06.159
In our skills here, but you know, like you know,

1128
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:07.239
it's like they are.

1129
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:09.760
I do feel like there's something about them that they

1130
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:12.920
you know, they can they can move fast, and it's

1131
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:17.000
like very they have so much strength and ability and

1132
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:20.119
agility and just they're just built that way to just

1133
00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:24.800
to move and just like evade things. And I think

1134
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:29.199
that's why they stay, you know, so hidden and so undetected,

1135
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:33.119
you know, and hopefully someday we'll figure it out. I

1136
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:34.880
think that we I think they would be really cool.

1137
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:37.360
When I pitched that, when I was asking Ron Mornhead

1138
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:41.119
about this whole thing or mentioning that to them, a

1139
00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:42.599
lot of thoughts are going through my head, and I

1140
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:44.320
was thinking, like, oh man, people are going to think

1141
00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:48.280
like this is like some you know, just just I

1142
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:50.239
don't know, I don't know what really people think. I mean,

1143
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:51.920
I just generally think a lot of a lot of

1144
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:54.039
the movies to me that I watched, like they are

1145
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:58.159
about like they're just they're always usually really silly, and

1146
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:01.719
they always put in some like some silly costume and

1147
00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:05.760
it's not really like it's you know, it's not really.

1148
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:09.239
Uh, I don't know. It's just kind of done in

1149
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:12.079
a very kind of like in a way that kind.

1150
00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:14.519
Of kind of pokes fun A lot of time makes it,

1151
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:18.199
you know, it seems really intentional. I don't know, I

1152
00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:23.440
guess for entertainment purposes or what. But you know, I

1153
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:25.679
just said, you know, there's movies that are basically based

1154
00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:29.039
on doctormaries, and but that's not something that he you know,

1155
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:32.119
he's he has a different angle of what, you know,

1156
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:36.239
what he wants you know, to take this and that's

1157
00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:38.679
kind of like counter I guess he sees that he

1158
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:41.519
might see that as counterproductive of like making a movie

1159
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:45.360
about someone's life, because you know, people always think that

1160
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:48.239
movies maybe can't be based on something real.

1161
00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:51.360
I did see that. I actually went to a trip

1162
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:52.800
and stopped.

1163
00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:55.599
In Rockwell or Roswell, I mean in New Mexico one

1164
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.639
time on one of the trips that I took, just

1165
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:01.960
driving around and I actually saw that guy from the

1166
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:03.440
from the Far in the Sky movie.

1167
00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:06.760
He was at like the museum there. It was really interesting,

1168
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:07.960
just kind of mean him.

1169
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.840
But but anyway, but yeah, but I don't know, maybe

1170
00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:14.000
maybe something will happen of that later on. Maybe I'll,

1171
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:17.639
like I said, I might release that song later on

1172
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:19.760
and there might be something something come of it. But

1173
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:22.960
if it doesn't, it doesn't, you know it just but

1174
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.760
but that's something else that I was like, you know,

1175
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:26.840
just mentioning it was.

1176
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:28.119
Something that was working on.

1177
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:31.000
I don't, you know, I just don't want to be

1178
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.280
I don't want to.

1179
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:35.559
Get the wrong impression. So that's why I said, I.

1180
00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:37.400
Wanted to wait, you know, I want to get like,

1181
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:41.199
you know, maybe if they're construction cup if they end

1182
00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:42.880
up like doing like a darkam me, they can like

1183
00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.320
use it, you know. So I just didn't want to

1184
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:48.519
push it. But I just think that their their stories

1185
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.679
are very they're they're very interesting way more you know,

1186
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:53.760
just you know, I wish I had some like some

1187
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:56.880
evidence or something, you know, to really say, hey, this

1188
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.639
is what you know. All I have really is just

1189
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:02.599
and just my word of you know what happened. But

1190
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:06.400
you know, I but anyway, but I really appreciate you

1191
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.599
let me share this, And this is the only time

1192
01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:14.039
I've shared it, like pretty much. I mean, I've told

1193
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:18.400
a few people and they've listened to me, Like I

1194
01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:22.719
think about half of them like think that it's they

1195
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:26.360
just they don't they don't really you know, think maybe.

1196
01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:28.559
If I'm crazier or not. I don't know what they think, but.

1197
01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:31.480
They just I think it's which is even odd because

1198
01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:32.880
some of the people that I've told us too that

1199
01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:35.440
I have this one friend that he spends a ton

1200
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.960
of time. He's gone like all kinds of places like

1201
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:43.440
just anywhere, just like that you'd think that that sasquatch

1202
01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:47.760
would probably be and but he's really kind of like no, he's.

1203
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.760
A real like I don't know.

1204
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:53.280
He basically just says, I don't he won't say nothing,

1205
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:57.079
But I don't know if that's like, you know, maybe

1206
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:00.480
he has had something. I imagine he's had to something's

1207
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:02.920
bound to happen. But because I just hear so many

1208
01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:05.719
you spend enough time, I guarantee if if someone spends

1209
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:10.800
enough time that you're probably it's bound to happen eventually.

1210
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:14.519
It's just I mean, that's just my opinion. But I

1211
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:16.800
don't know. I mean, I just I really think that.

1212
01:01:16.960 --> 01:01:23.079
But anyway, well, we definitely all have our own journey

1213
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:27.039
that we have to travel trying to figure all this out.

1214
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:30.199
But you know, I just want to say again, Brent,
