00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.840
there in Idaho, and Patrick is pretty familiar with that

18
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:05.120
area that was referred to in that episode. Is I

19
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.239

00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.959

23
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.719
you have to share. I always love it when there's

24
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.680
a person that reaches out to me and they're like,

25
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.640
they're like, yeah, that that one episode you had is

26
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.239
pretty dead on, because I can I can tell you

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.640
some stuff too about the same area. So you know,

28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.680
I'm going to go ahead and hand things right over

29
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.239
to you, Patrick, and you're You're welcome to you know,

30
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.799
take us back to what we need to know. And

31
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.120
when you started to experience some things out there.

32
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:56.480
Sure, yeah. I mean, I'm Patrick, I'm thirty four. I've

33
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.400
lived here in Idaho in the Quarterline area for my

34
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.799
entire life, and I've spent all of that going hunting

35
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.760
and fishing and spending all sorts of time in the

36
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.360
outdoors like hiking and all that stuff. So I've spent

37
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:18.840
plenty of time outside doing stuff, and I never really

38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:27.199
experienced anything that always stood out to me as unexplainable,

39
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.039
like is weird stuff that has happened? But I've always

40
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.439
just sort of chocked it up as all, it's probably

41
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:40.280
this or probably that. But I've always been a believer

42
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:48.520
and that bigfoot or a sasquatch er, there's something out there,

43
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.479
And it's totally possible that there's something out there that

44
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.000
we just don't know about, because we're learning about new

45
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.599
stuff all the time, and to think that we know

46
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.520
everything about everything is kind of a little arrogant. So

47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.360
I always love the idea that there's stuff that we

48
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.960
don't know about. And I haven't had anything in particular

49
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:21.240
happen that made me really think about this being in

50
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:28.479
my area until July of last year when I was

51
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.800
up camping. And every every year, it's it's a tradition

52
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.520
my my mom and I my entire life. We've we've

53
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.120
always made it a tradition for two weeks in July,

54
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.599
over like Fourth of July weekend, we'd go up camping

55
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.439
and and we we live like homeless people for two weeks,

56
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.159
but it's just to get away from the city, the lights,

57
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.360
the sounds, the fast move and everything, and it's just

58
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.759
sort of our our reset every year. And we've always

59
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.960
taken a family vacation. It used to be my mom

60
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.360
and my dad and myself and my brother, but my

61
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.680
dad since passed a couple of years ago, and so

62
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.120
we just sort of want to continue on the tradition

63
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.279
and in all of our time up there, we've experienced

64
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.600
had things, but we've always made up an explanation for it.

65
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.480
But because we've never really well, I'm a very like

66
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.680
analytical kind of person, and so I always try to

67
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.839
just come up with the forty things it would be

68
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:50.000
before it's it's Sasquatch, and I always just sort of

69
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.639
land on something even though I don't really know what

70
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.839
I'm talking about, but I guess I'll get into what

71
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.360
actually happened this past year. So we were we were

72
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:08.120
up camping and referring to it, and we camp in

73
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.360
the exact spot that Jason from episode five sixty six

74
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:18.800
was talking about. And I so I saw the thumbnail

75
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.439
for that episode and it said Standpoint, Idaho, and I'm like, well,

76
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.879
we we camped there, so I really wanted to listen

77
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.319
to that episode and hearing him describe like where he

78
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.800
was at, I'm like, that's our camp site that we

79
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:46.639
always camp in. And then after our experience, I was like, Wow,

80
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.199
so people are experiencing things right where we've been for

81
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.160
my entire life, So maybe the stuff we've been experiencing

82
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.279
isn't a moose or a bear or anything like that.

83
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:05.639
So my mother and I tried to go up and

84
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.240
get that spot that he was talking about, but for

85
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.319
some reason, this year, the woods were absolutely packed full

86
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.600
of campers and it was a really good year for huckleberry,

87
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.439
so I would imagine a lot of huckleberry pickers were

88
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.439
out there. So we were sort of forced to go

89
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.000
up the mountain another couple of miles and we found

90
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.519
another campsite up on a ridge. And this campsite doesn't

91
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.600
get camped in that often because it's way up off

92
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.639
the river. It's on the opposite side of the mountain

93
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.079
road that goes there's only one road that goes up

94
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:50.399
that mountain on that river, and most of the campsites

95
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.519
are right on the river, but this one is one

96
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.240
of those that's not, and so it's always open. But

97
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.519
it was sort of our last resort and we camped

98
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.800
there and it was actually a really nice spot. It's

99
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.439
right on a ridge, like big old ridge coming straight down,

100
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.399
goes all the way down to the river, and there's

101
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.040
an abundance of bear grass on this ridge, so I

102
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:24.680
called it Beargrass Ridge. And we we set up camp.

103
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.759
We had a couple of tents and it's it's probably

104
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.439
I don't know, probably one hundred feet by one hundred

105
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.680
feet campground like, it's big, it's open, and it's not

106
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.279
next to anybody, which was really nice because the campsite

107
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.319
that Jason talked about is right next to a lot

108
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.240
of people. It's one campsite, and that a little road

109
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.519
that goes down to another campsite, another little road that

110
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.560
goes down to another one. Not this one. This one's

111
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.560
all by itself on this ridge. And so we thought,

112
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.279
you know what, we maybe we won this time. But

113
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.720
we were there for a couple of nights and then

114
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.120
my aunt and her fiance decided to join us for

115
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.600
about a week, which doesn't usually happen. It was nice to,

116
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.759
you know, have the campsite be a little bit more

117
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:23.680
full than just my mom and myself, and so it

118
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.920
was probably we get up there on a Thursday, so

119
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.759
it's probably about it, I would say a Tuesday night

120
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.399
that all of this happened. We were sitting by the

121
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:44.039
fire as as most people do, and my aunt and

122
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.960
her fiance decide to call it and I probably around

123
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:53.039
let's say ten or eleven o'clock, the temperature drops like

124
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.679
crazy out there. It's ninety during the day, and then

125
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.840
it drops down to probably forty five or fifty at night,

126
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.240
and after being so hot, turning to that cold, it

127
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.159
makes you want to go inside and bundle up pretty

128
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.639
pretty quick. So they got done with the fire and

129
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.519
they went straight to bed and they sleep in one

130
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.840
of those campers that goes up on top of the truck.

131
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.080
And my mother and I are just sitting in a tent,

132
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.480
and we were in a little tent where we have

133
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.600
a little card table set up and we're playing card

134
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.960
games and stuff. And you know, we don't really have

135
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.200
a time that we go to bed, Like there's times

136
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.559
that week sit there and play games until the sun

137
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.399
came up. And that was one of those nights where

138
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.399
it was probably one thirty or two in the morning,

139
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:47.639
and we're just playing a card game and we have

140
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.200
some lights in the tent so that we can see everything.

141
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.759
The lights are powered by a generator, and we have

142
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.360
the generator we have set up probably about fifty feet away.

143
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.000
We have put it just outside camp so that it's

144
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.639
not making too much noise for my aunt and her

145
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:11.360
fiance to sleep and stuff like that. But it is

146
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.039
our generatory. It's it's a cheap little thing, you know,

147
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.559
It's not quiet, so it rattles and it makes up

148
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.919
a pretty loud ruckus. And I think that's a fairly

149
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.360
important thing to note, is this thing is not quiet,

150
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.720
and we we're not necessarily quiet either. We're laughing, we're hollering,

151
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.159
we're you know, we're we're having a great time, and

152
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.720
you know, we're not being rowdy, but but we're not

153
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:44.879
being quiet either. And so about one thirty, we're just

154
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:52.879
playing cards and all of a sudden, from it. It

155
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.879
was behind my my mother, and it was sort of

156
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.000
off to We're sitting across the table from each other,

157
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.919
and it was slightly off to my right that we

158
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:10.159
hear this. I don't want to see it. It was blood curdling,

159
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.279
but it almost sounded like it was the loudest scream

160
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.039
I've ever heard in my life. It stopped us both

161
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.080
in our in our tracks for sure. And what it

162
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:32.000
sounded like, the only way I could describe it is

163
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:40.480
it sounded like a woman like running down a hill

164
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.759
into a war cry, running down a hill. And it

165
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:52.240
was like a kind of I don't know how to

166
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.879
describe it, but it was longer than that. It was.

167
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.559
It's definitely sustained. It was so loud. It could have

168
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.120
been fifty feet away, it could have been right next

169
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:10.279
to our tent, but it certainly wasn't more than one

170
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:18.480
hundred feet away, and it was so loud. And the

171
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.480
crazy thing is my mother and I both got to

172
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.480
experience this, and I am thrilled because nobody would think

173
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.759
anything if it was just me that heard this, and

174
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.279
it was it was one of those things. We immediately

175
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.240
were like, what the heck was that? Or we didn't

176
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.440
say heck, but you know, we need some more colorful language.

177
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.000
But we're like, what is that? And I immediately go

178
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.200
and grab my pistol, like that's going to do anything.

179
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:55.919
But this sounded like a very large person, Like imagine

180
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.679
that it's a woman, but like pitch it down and

181
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.519
make it where it sounds a lot bigger than a person.

182
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.799
And being that I'm super analytical, I'm immediately trying to

183
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.600
figure out what this could be. I'm going through all

184
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.399
the animals that we have, and we have an abundance

185
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:23.879
of animals in North Idaho that can make odd screams

186
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.360
and odd noises anywhere from an elk to a bobcat,

187
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:34.159
bobcat to an owl, coyotes, they all make some noises,

188
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.960
but there was a lung capacity on this that I mean, you.

189
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.480
Would expect from from a person, but it sounded so

190
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.440
much bigger, and I immediately got the feeling that it

191
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.320
was really angry at us.

192
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.559
Like it was like telling us to shut up, like

193
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:03.360
an angry neighbor yelling you to turn your music. And

194
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.679
my mother, on the other hand, talking to her afterwards,

195
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:12.200
got a different feeling from this scream. She felt that

196
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.799
it was sort of a like, hey, do you mind,

197
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.159
like just sort of letting us know that it was there,

198
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.799
And I did not feel that way. I felt like

199
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.240
it was very upset. And so we're sitting there and

200
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.360
we grab our flashlights and we have a couple of

201
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.840
pretty high powered flashlights, like six thousand to nine thousand

202
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.440
lumin flashlights, and we ends up all the windows in

203
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.600
our tent to like shine out there and look around,

204
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.919
because you know, I'm expecting this thing to come barreling

205
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:53.159
into our camp and you know, attack the tent or

206
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.159
start wreaking havoc. Like this thing sounded like it was

207
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.200
about raying, it wanted to like kill us. And we're

208
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.240
shining the lights around and I've got my big flashlight

209
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.559
in one hand and my gun in the other, like

210
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.720
it's going to do something. But there was nothing. There

211
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:15.120
was no eye shine. We never heard footprints or footsteps,

212
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.399
we never heard any rustling in the trees. Nothing. It

213
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:29.159
was just a single scream and then nothing. And so

214
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.840
I'm sitting there just racking my brain. I can't wrap

215
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.799
my head around it, and I'm trying not to freak

216
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:42.639
my mom out. She's already, you know, having a small

217
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.080
moment to herself of I don't know what that was,

218
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.039
but I don't feel right anymore. And the whole time

219
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.840
we're all sitting there trying to think about things, I'm

220
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:58.960
wondering how my aunt and her fiance didn't hear anything,

221
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.200
because it also came from about fifty feet away from

222
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.039
their truck, but they were dead asleep. They never heard

223
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.879
a thing. And that's another thing that I'm so glad

224
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.240
that my mother was there to experience this with me,

225
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.879
because people would question the fact that, oh, there's two

226
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.879
other people in camp and they didn't hear anything. It's like, yeah,

227
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.960
I don't know how they didn't wake up, but they

228
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:29.120
were zonked out apparently. But yeah, So that was that experience,

229
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.559
and that is the only experience in the woods that

230
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.080
I've never been able to explain away as something, but

231
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.759
having that experience sort of changes the context around some

232
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.320
other things that have happened up there, and going back

233
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.320
and thinking about stuff, like maybe stuff has been happening

234
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:57.159
my entire life up there. But we've always been camped

235
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.720
next to the river up until this point. So the

236
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.960
river is a it's a really shallow river, so it runs,

237
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.559
it's pretty loud. Being camped right next to the river,

238
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.799
it drowns out a lot of sounds. But when I

239
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.759
was younger, when it was my mom, my dad, and myself,

240
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.079
we would always hear rocks and stuff moving in the river.

241
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.079
And my dad was always like, oh, yeah, just you know,

242
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.559
the current of the river is just moving rocks. But

243
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.880
it was like boulders that were being moved, and you

244
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:39.519
could hear them move like it wasn't just like shifting,

245
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.079
it was I don't know, it sounded like they were

246
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:47.920
being tossed in, but without the splash, like just really

247
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.400
loud like clunks, like rocks hitting rocks. And every once

248
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.440
in a while I would think that I would hear

249
00:17:54.839 --> 00:18:00.759
talking or voices coming from near the river. But I've

250
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.039
always explained that is the river can make all sorts

251
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.440
of weird noises, the way that the sound can come

252
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.079
up and hit you. And I've heard people talk about

253
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.319
how it can sound like there's talking coming from the river.

254
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:17.519
So I'm just always explained it away, but assuming that

255
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.160
there is something out there, something large that sounds kind

256
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.240
of like a human, but bigger than a human. And

257
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:31.640
I've experienced these weird sounds that sound kind of human,

258
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.880
but I could never make out the voices or anything

259
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.119
like maybe that's something I explained it away before, but

260
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:43.839
maybe that's something. And there was another time we were

261
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:49.279
camped in the same area that Jason was talking about,

262
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:54.160
just one camp side over and it was I called

263
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.680
the Sandpit where we had a big flood a few

264
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.880
years ago and it washed up a lot of sand

265
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.079
into this campsite, so it's kind of like you're camping

266
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.440
on a beach. But we were getting ready to leave

267
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.279
after our two weeks stay one time, and there was

268
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.079
no wind. It was the most still day I think

269
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.599
we experienced uf there not even a breeze, and we're

270
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:25.440
getting ready to leave and a mother and her like

271
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.559
two or three kids came in and wanted to go

272
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.119
swimming down to the river and asked if it was

273
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.400
okay if they did that. While we packed up and left,

274
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.640
and we were just chit chatting, making small talk, and

275
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:43.839
all of a sudden, I hear the loudest cracking of

276
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:48.000
a tree going down, just out of site from camp,

277
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.400
but down by the river, and I see the top

278
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.599
of a very large asp and start to go down,

279
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.599
and I was like, that is weird because there's no wind,

280
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.200
no breeze, and I can tell just by looking at

281
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.519
the top of this tree it's a pretty healthy tree.

282
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:16.319
And so after our heartbeats relaxed a little bit, I

283
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.200
decided to go and look at what happened and what

284
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:24.480
made this aspen go down. And I go over and

285
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:30.279
I look at this tree and it's not uprooted, but

286
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.920
it's split at the base like it was. I mean,

287
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.200
I know that this can happen, but it just it

288
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.880
seemed so weird that they would have had to have

289
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.480
been a force that had pushed this tree over just

290
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.799
the way that had a diagonal split at the base,

291
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.240
for the crack might have already been there. But there's

292
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:01.480
no way that this tree fell over without something having

293
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.599
pushed it. This was a large tree. This was the

294
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:12.039
biggest aspen in the entire area, and so I initially

295
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.839
explained it away as there was probably a bear or

296
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:22.079
maybe maybe a moose or something that pushed against it,

297
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.960
like who knows, But considering what we heard this past year,

298
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:33.799
maybe it wasn't. And then again this past year, I

299
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.559
guess I'm all over the place. But going back to

300
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.440
what happened this past year, as a couple of days

301
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:48.559
after this scream happened, I'm getting this. I have this

302
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:54.039
terrible feeling up there that we're being watched. I just

303
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:58.319
have this this not in my stomach. I was not

304
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:03.880
relaxed for or probably five days after this this happened.

305
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.759
I don't want to venture more than one hundred feet

306
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.160
away from camp, but I don't feel good about anything.

307
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.480
I'm ready to pack it in. But there's three other

308
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.799
people vacationing with me that really don't seem to feel

309
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.119
the same way that I do about this. Like my

310
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.720
mother chocked it up as well, I was a weird,

311
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:28.400
creepy experience, and my aunt and her fiance were just

312
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.519
more you know, they didn't experience anything, so they didn't care.

313
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:39.799
But like two days after this happened. I decided to venture, well,

314
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.200
probably a couple hundred feet away from camp, up on

315
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.319
the little hill that the camp site is nestled up to,

316
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.160
going up the ridge a little bit. And the way

317
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.319
this ridge is set up is we're a little bit

318
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.839
of a plateau and then the ridge drops down, probably

319
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:05.480
three hundred feet away from camp on either side. And

320
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.079
I'm just sort of walking up on the ridge a

321
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:19.319
little bit and I hear this sounds like a truck

322
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:24.359
and trailer coming down the mountain on the road that's

323
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:30.319
off to our right. And I was like, okay, like

324
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.519
you know, probably people will take their clouds up there

325
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.960
all the time, but it seemed kind of loud for

326
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.240
a truck and trailer. It sounded further away, but it

327
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:46.240
sounded louder than it should be. And when I say

328
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.319
it sounds like a truck and trailer, when you hear

329
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.480
a trailer, you can hear like the metal clanking and

330
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.720
banging a little bit. That's what I thought I heard.

331
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.599
And then as I'm listening to it getting louder and louder,

332
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.440
I noticed that it's not necessarily following the path of

333
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:10.559
the road. It's actually coming up the ridge at me,

334
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.960
and I'm sitting there just intently listening to this to

335
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:21.200
make sure that I'm hearing what I'm hearing. And as

336
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.880
soon as I confirm in my head that oh, this

337
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:28.759
isn't following the road, this can't be a truck and trailer.

338
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:35.200
But what sounds like the metal clanking and banging turns

339
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:44.720
into really heavy, labored breaths, like really deep like like that.

340
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.359
And I know that moose can do that, and bear

341
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.680
and stuff like that if they're spooked and trying to

342
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.319
tear up a ridge can be like that. But I

343
00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.759
immediately had this feeling. And it's only been a day

344
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:02.920
and half for two days since that crazy loud scream,

345
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.400
So that's sitting in the back of my head too,

346
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.319
to where I'm like, Okay, if I don't move right now,

347
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.480
something bad is going to happen to me, because it

348
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.960
sounds like it's coming straight at me, but I can't

349
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:21.279
see anything, and I'm sitting there and I said, I'm

350
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.920
gonna I'm gonna back up, So I back up about

351
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:30.400
forty feet and I see my my mother right behind me,

352
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:37.279
just leisurely picking huckleberries, and I just turned. I was

353
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.119
like hey, I was like, we probably should go back

354
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.680
to camp. I was like, I don't know what that is,

355
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.720
and she's like what. I was like, do you hear

356
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.960
that thing going up the ridge right in front of us?

357
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:49.680
Like?

358
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:54.519
And she's like no, We like, how do you not

359
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.759
hear this? It was so loud, and she's like, I

360
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:03.079
don't know what you're talking about. And so while that

361
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.319
could be a moose or a bear or some other

362
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.480
or an elk, in the context of what had just

363
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:15.960
happened up there, that freaked me out pretty good. And

364
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.519
I guess that was sort of the last of the

365
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:24.759
big things that we experienced up there. A couple days

366
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.640
after that, it was probably the day before we were

367
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:34.599
going to leave, we saw something big and black, I

368
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:39.400
wouldn't say really big, probably the size of a small

369
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:46.599
black bear or a large raccoon or something fall out

370
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.559
of a tree. It was up near the top of

371
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.240
a tree, probably one hundred and fifty feet away from camp.

372
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:59.680
You ever take, and we hear a twig snap from

373
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:04.319
that direction. We turn and we just see the last

374
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:11.039
second something black like falling down from the tree out

375
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.240
of our light of sight. So, like a couple of

376
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.599
really smart people, we went to go investigate with a

377
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.079
fly swatter and a pistol, and we we didn't see anything.

378
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.400
There was no signs of anything having hit the ground

379
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.039
hard or anything like that. I just choped that up

380
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.920
as it was a raccoon or a bear or something.

381
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:37.440
But it's easy to explain everything away when I'm so analytical.

382
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.480
I'm always trying to come up with the answers for things.

383
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.480
I don't like not knowing things, so I kind of

384
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:46.920
obsess over things until I have an answer that I'm

385
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:51.039
happy with. And when it comes to this screen that happened,

386
00:27:54.079 --> 00:28:00.480
I still haven't found an answer other than maybe it's

387
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:02.880
the thing that I've believed in my whole life and

388
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:06.720
just never thought that I would experience, never thought that

389
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:12.079
I had been experiencing it. Yeah, it's sort of the

390
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:16.680
last thing that I could use to explain it. It's

391
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:18.240
the last thing I ever thought I would use. But

392
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.599
I don't know what else this could be.

393
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:27.039
That is wild. Patrick just it must have been such

394
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:33.599
a crazy realization after hearing that account and then realizing, oh, yeah,

395
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:38.279
kind of makes sense now. Was was there ever a

396
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.880
like a camp post or a ranger in that campground area?

397
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.359
We never saw a ranger, so we always have a

398
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.519
ranger come through our camp at least once or twice.

399
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.880
In the other camp down down the mountain a little bit.

400
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.319
This year, we never had a ranger come through. We

401
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.480
never had anyone show up. We definitely would have asked

402
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.839
if there were any animals in the area that were

403
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.920
known for making unusual sounds from what they would normally make,

404
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.920
because that's what we landed on too. Was just trying

405
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.880
to explain it away and put our minds at ease

406
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:24.960
a little bit. Was one. If it's just an animal

407
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:29.000
that isn't making its normal noise, you know, like sometimes

408
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.759
cats try to bark and dogs try to purr, just

409
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.720
the unusual type of thing. But as loud as this

410
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.599
thing was. I've heard cougars cry, I've heard or scream,

411
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:50.160
I've heard foxes screaming. I've heard just about every sound

412
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:54.319
that every animal makes out there. I've even heard deer bark.

413
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.640
And I don't know any animal that could have made

414
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:05.880
the sound that we heard other than a person. But

415
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:13.039
a person, it wouldn't make any sense for them to

416
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.039
scream the way that they did just one time. If

417
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:20.119
it's a person that lives up there in one of

418
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:24.559
the houses, that's that's a ways away from us. If

419
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:26.240
they want us out of there, why wouldn't they do

420
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:28.759
more to try to get us out of there? Why

421
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:32.000
just scream one time? Why not try to mess with us?

422
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:36.079
Why not throw rocks or whatever at us and and

423
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.599
really try to spook us out of there. It was

424
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:41.839
just one of the weirdest things, and we never had

425
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:47.000
anyone come up that we could ask about. It was

426
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:50.000
we didn't really felt like we were alone on that

427
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.759
little island. Yeah.

428
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:58.680
Absolutely, I'm sure you're you're familiar with with all the different,

429
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:02.759
uh weird sounding owl noises. I mean, it sounds like

430
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:08.440
this was not anything close to an owl at all.

431
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:11.519
Yeah, I mean the only I shouldn't even say the

432
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.880
only way it could be an owl. There's no way

433
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:16.039
this could have been an owl. But we even talked

434
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.960
about like, well, maybe it was an owl that flew

435
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.759
right next to our tent and made a weird screech,

436
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.039
But there's no owls that make that noise. I know

437
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:28.400
they have a wide vocal range, but this sounded like

438
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:34.160
a woman that is seven or eight feet tall that

439
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.720
got really mad and screened at us out of frustration

440
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:43.920
or anger and then just went away. It doesn't make

441
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.440
any sense. And there's an owl can't sound like that.

442
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.279
But yeah, I went through every I was freaking my

443
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:58.559
mom out for like four hours just going through. It's

444
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:08.599
not an owl. Coyotes can sound weird, but nothing like that. Wolves, bobcats, cougars,

445
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.920
none of it fit the bill. And it had to

446
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.599
have had a large lung capacity to produce the sound

447
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.440
that it produced in the like the resonance that it

448
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.680
produced it in like this was a large animal.

449
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:35.720
The next day or the days after it, did you

450
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:41.680
notice anything out of the ordinary around the campsite, like

451
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:47.960
like broken trees or or anything weird like that, bent

452
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:49.759
over trees anything.

453
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:57.799
Okay, So I forgot to mention this. We were scowling

454
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:01.079
for huckleberries a couple of days after that, and we

455
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.799
had gone up the ridge and we made sure we

456
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.240
kept camp in sight. But we'd gone up the ridge

457
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:14.559
and there's a large grove of younger I would say,

458
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:19.680
probably like tamaracks. They're either tamarack er or some young

459
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:25.880
fur of some sort. And we noticed, I should I

460
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:31.119
should say I noticed that there was a single tree

461
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.440
and these are i'd say they're probably eight inches to

462
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:41.079
ten inches around, like you know, they're they're probably sixty

463
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.559
to seventy feet tall, like they're they're trees. They're they're

464
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:49.279
not they're not twigs or saplings or anything. But I

465
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:55.240
noticed one it was broke off about I don't know

466
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.839
if it was i'd say about eight feet up in

467
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:03.480
the air. It was just like a clean snap, but

468
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:10.320
on top of it was balanced. The top of the tree,

469
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.320
like the other fifty feet of the tree was just

470
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.159
laid across where it was broken, and it was balanced

471
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.719
there like right in the middle of it. There's no

472
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.119
way that it felt like this, and there was no

473
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:34.280
other trees around that were broken for you that could

474
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.440
have just snapped off and landed on this already snapped

475
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.760
off tree. It looked like it was placed there, but

476
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.000
it was like ten feet up. And I took some

477
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.400
pictures and a video of it that I can send

478
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.159
to you if you want. And it doesn't make any

479
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.440
sense for that to be that way, And I thought

480
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:57.400
that was one of the weirdest things. But that was

481
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.519
the only thing that looked out of place. Camp.

482
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.000
Yeah, that is extremely weird. Uh. Yeah, if you don't

483
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.599
mind sending it over, I'd love to take a look

484
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.519
at it. That sounds just the fact that it's just

485
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:17.440
kind of weirdly balanced. It is very strange.

486
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.039
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't like the smaller tree breaks,

487
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:23.800
you know, the two or three inch trees that always

488
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.760
bent overly. This thing was. It was. It was a

489
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:30.320
full sized tree. It was just snapped clean. And it's

490
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.480
possible that it snapped during the like snow pack or

491
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:39.000
whatever like that. I know that we get some pretty

492
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.840
heavy winters up in those mountains. Being that it's down

493
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.400
in a valley, it just accumulates snow to where that

494
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.320
could have been what snapped the tree. But that's not

495
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.960
what balanced it on its own stump. That was. That

496
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:53.159
was pretty pretty weird.

497
00:35:54.719 --> 00:36:01.400
That's that's very weird. After that whole experience, did h

498
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:10.440
did you at any point start experiencing weird things at

499
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.679
home or things that didn't really make sense at all? Anything?

500
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:26.360
I thought, not really, uh no, not. Nothing really seemed

501
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:30.599
to have followed me home. It. I think the only

502
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:33.360
weird thing is just the way I keep thinking about things,

503
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:37.440
and I just keep trying to convince myself of it

504
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.639
being other things than it than it probably is. Yeah, nothing,

505
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.719
nothing really seemed to follow me so.

506
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.280
When you say you keep thinking about it, it's just

507
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.960
that you're is it more, You're you're trying to like

508
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:58.920
just logically logically explain away what happened.

509
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:03.400
Yeah, I just want I want the truth to whatever

510
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.719
it is. There is a truth to to whatever this

511
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.320
thing is, and it bugs me not knowing what it is.

512
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:15.079
And I think I'm slowly starting to accept that I

513
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.639
probably won't know what this was exactly, and I just

514
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:25.719
sort of need to accept that it probably was a

515
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:31.719
bigfoot or a sasquatch, and and I need to be

516
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.960
okay with that, And I just need to keep that

517
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.079
in mind moving forward. I shouldn't try to find answers

518
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:40.079
when our I already have one.

519
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:46.239
Yeah, that that definitely, that does make sense. I I

520
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:51.920
asked that because I found that sometimes people in similar

521
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:58.039
situations they end up getting drawn back to the area.

522
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:05.719
It's just it's a really weird commonality that's that started

523
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.679
to come out when I talk to people. They end

524
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.280
up getting drawn back to the same area, almost inexplicably.

525
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:19.880
It's just they start having very vivid dreams about the area.

526
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.079
It's just it's kind of weird.

527
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:30.480
Yeah, No, I actually I think we're planning on going

528
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.320
back up there to camp again this year, and I

529
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:36.559
don't know if that's a crazy thing or just sort

530
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.559
of the investigative side of what I want. Like I'm

531
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:43.960
playing with fire a little bit because if it screened one, like,

532
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.480
if this is is again, how how mad is it

533
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:49.760
going to be? Well, if it's even still up there.

534
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.480
But I think we're going to try to go up

535
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.480
there and camp, either in that spot or in the

536
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.800
spot that was in Jason's episode. I don't know that

537
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:05.199
I want to experience again, but I don't want to

538
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.519
be afraid of camping either. I'm drawn back there because

539
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:12.119
I want an answer, and I think I need to

540
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:16.199
be able to investigate it a little bit more. And

541
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:21.039
it's hard to investigate a single scream. If it would

542
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:25.199
have done it twice, then I could create a pattern,

543
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:28.719
but there's no pattern there. I want to find a motive,

544
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.719
you know. I just I'm super analytical and logical in

545
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:36.440
the way that I think, and I want I want

546
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:40.639
to know the truth, whatever it may be. And so

547
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:43.320
I guess I am drawn to it. But I haven't

548
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:48.840
had any dreams or or any I definitely know the

549
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:52.920
supernatural side of some people's encounters and I guess I've

550
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:56.639
been fortunate enough to not have experienced that up to

551
00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:57.239
this point.

552
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:02.000
Yeah, it's a is an interesting thing. It can it

553
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:09.320
can change very quickly. Uh. I do understand the whole

554
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.639
being drawn to it, wanting to figure out what it is.

555
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.679
Once once you know that there is a something out

556
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:23.079
there and you know the exact area where it's at,

557
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.159
and then you want to all you can think about

558
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:30.280
is going back to it, because now you know where

559
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.400
it is and I can I can be the one

560
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.440
that figures figures this out.

561
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.159
Yeah, Like it's so close, I can touch it. Why

562
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.440
wouldn't I at least make an attempt.

563
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.440
To do exactly? It's just it is a very very

564
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:48.679
strange phenomenon. But I would say, uh, I think you're

565
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.239
handling it in the right way where it sounds like,

566
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.280
you know, wouldn't be just you going back out there,

567
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.960
which is is good, you know, there'd be it sounds like,

568
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.960
you know, maybe even your mom would be going out

569
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.880
with you again.

570
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:05.320
Perhaps, Yeah if I if I don't go, she's going

571
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.960
by yourself and I won't what that happened. So I

572
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.000
was like, you know what, I'll go with you. I'll

573
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.239
probably take something we'll probably have to take some precautions

574
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:18.960
this time around, like if something else screams at us,

575
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:24.039
or something something weird happens, like we should probably not

576
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.760
stay for another week and a half. After that, she'll

577
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.920
probably just pick up and like, all right, well, I

578
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:34.039
have all the stuff I need. I'm gonna go ahead

579
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:39.280
and go analyze from the safety of my home. But yeah,

580
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.480
it's I don't know if I'm crazy for going back

581
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:49.039
up there, but I don't want to. It never the

582
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.920
fact that I took it as a really threatening scream

583
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:58.280
or just a really hostile one, then my mother did

584
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.760
not feel that way. It puts me at ease in

585
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:07.440
the sense that my subjective feeling is like a me problem.

586
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:11.159
And maybe it really was just a hey, stop making

587
00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:15.840
so much noise, like we're up here as opposed to

588
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:19.239
a threat. But I don't want to if that wasn't

589
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.079
a threat, I don't want to experience what a threat

590
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:24.840
would be. I don't want to hear it growl at

591
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.519
me like like it did with Jason. I don't want

592
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:34.000
to experience any more hostility than I feel that I've

593
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:38.880
already experienced, and putting myself out there, I'm opening myself

594
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:41.760
up to it. So I don't know how to prepare

595
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:46.639
for that to happen, but I's gonna have the car

596
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:48.719
in a position that I can get into it and

597
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:49.760
leave if I need.

598
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:54.760
To, exactly, and I think it would be it would

599
00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:59.000
be wise to be aware of any sounds that you

600
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:05.719
hear hear in that area. I'm thinking back to Jason's

601
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:10.760
interview and just how he had heard some some weird

602
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:16.719
things in the emergency beacon. Yeah, yeah, the beacon it

603
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:20.559
almost seemed to like be drawing him to an area,

604
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:23.079
and just always definitely be aware of that. You never

605
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:27.519
want to be drawn into the woods by a weird

606
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:33.440
sound or something saying your name or you know, anything

607
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.800
like that can be the beginning to a really bad

608
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:38.639
story for sure.

609
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:43.840
Oh yeah, I'm I'm fairly self self aware out there,

610
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.920
and I definitely know when I'm the guy that makes

611
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.119
the bad choices in the horror movie and I'm just like, yeah,

612
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.679
why am I walking into the middle of the woods

613
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:56.400
when I should be going to my car?

614
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:03.199
Yeah, but is very interesting, and I would say, you know,

615
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:06.880
if you do decide to go back up there, definitely,

616
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.320
you know, stay in touch. I would love to hear

617
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:14.239
you know if something does happen again in that area,

618
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.760
and it would it would be very interesting.

619
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:22.400
Yeah, we're going to invest in some trail cams, and

620
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:26.559
I know that it's it's probably more just to put

621
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:31.760
us cities, but I know that these things don't ever

622
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:37.519
show up on trail cams. But we're gonna probably invest

623
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.519
in four of them or so and put them up

624
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:47.519
in different areas just surrounding camp and whatnot. Just if

625
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:49.480
they want to stay away from trail cams, if we

626
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.119
surround camp with trail cams, then they won't come into camp.

627
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.239
Well that's that's my mindset. That makes me happy.

628
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:59.519
Yeah, I mean, if anything, that's that's the easiest way

629
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.679
to get thing to not come in your camp is

630
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:06.679
to put up some game camps, because you know, most

631
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:11.599
people think it's it's the IR tends to keep them away.

632
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:16.800
And you could always you know, audio recorders are pretty

633
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.559
inexpensive now. I mean, you can get a task cam

634
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:25.920
intro one for I want to say less than one

635
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:30.000
hundred now, and that's something you could also have, you know,

636
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:35.639
in your camp and just recording all night long and

637
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.079
you know, see if you're able to capture something.

638
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:41.800
But yeah, that would be awesome if I could capture

639
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:48.599
that screen. I will say, since all this happened, I

640
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:53.159
did watch, and I don't. I don't really watch like

641
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.400
Finding Bigfoot and stuff like that. But there was a

642
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:05.239
single episode that aired on TV that took place in

643
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:10.800
the same area that we were in. It's just a

644
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:16.599
single mountain over from where we were. It's called Jack

645
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:21.599
Osborne's Night of car Bigfoot, where he was investigating up

646
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:25.400
in the Priest Lake area, which it really is. It's

647
00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:29.559
only like fifteen miles from where I was camping. And

648
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.360
towards the end of that episode spoiler for mebody hasn't

649
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:36.880
seen it, they do hear a scream way off in

650
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:43.679
the distance that doesn't sound unlike what we heard up there,

651
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:48.880
So I can't really describe the scream in the capacity

652
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:56.679
that we heard it. But on that particular show, they

653
00:46:56.679 --> 00:47:00.000
did capture something that sounded similar. It wasn't the same,

654
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:03.480
very similar, and it's the only thing I've ever heard

655
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.280
that sounded similar to what we've heard, yea, and it

656
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.280
was crazy that happened in the same area that we

657
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:11.559
were in. So I don't think that goes without.

658
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:16.199
Saying, that's that's really interesting. I did not know that

659
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:20.440
was the you know, Truth Be Told. I haven't actually

660
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:24.480
watched I need to watch that check it out, but

661
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:28.840
I've talked to one of the researchers that was involved

662
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:33.360
with it, Kevin Llewellen. But yeah, that sounds that's interesting

663
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:36.480
that it's it's that close to where you guys were at.

664
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:38.880
So definitely have to check that out. I think you

665
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:41.480
can listen where you can watch that on like Discovery

666
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:45.000
Plus or one of those, you know, type of network

667
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:45.840
type deals.

668
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:49.000
But yeah, I think it's on Discovery Plus.

669
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:54.280
But yeah, Patrick, I just want to say, you know,

670
00:47:54.360 --> 00:48:01.159
thank you for for coming on the show and for

671
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:06.239
for sharing what you've experienced so far in this area,

672
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.360
and it just it seems like such an interesting area.

673
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.400
There's people listening to this and they've also you know,

674
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:14.840
experienced things in the same area.

675
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:15.360
You know.

676
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:21.039

thank you for for coming on the the show tonight.

And no, hopefully we'll we'll stay in touch and you know,

681
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.719
who knows what what you might not might be able

682
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:43.719
to be involved with next.

683
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.360
Yeah, it's I'm excited and thank you for for having

684
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:56.119
me and allowing me to share my experience. I'm usually

685
00:48:56.199 --> 00:49:00.400
just a lurker and I watched the podcast and and

686
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.280
listen to people's stories and just take down the information.

687
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:06.559
But as soon as it happened, well I'm always at

688
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.159
I felt the need to put it out there and

689
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:16.159
sort of confirmed that there's something weird happening up there

690
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.719
all of a sudden in the past couple of years.

691
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:24.239
And the more people that come out and talk about it,

692
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:28.159
it's it's important all that data, all that information coming out.

693
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:34.400
Absolutely get that. I agree everything every little piece of

694
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:39.880
data definitely helps in the long run for sure.

695
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:41.639
For sure.

696
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:44.599
