12
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:37.880
how's it going?
13
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.200
How's it going? Man? All right? So, I don't know
14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.479
how familiar are you are with the Navo Reservation. Yes, sir, so,
15
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.200
I live right there, just just right on the edge
16
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:59.759
of it and Kurtland, New Mexico, just just outside of
17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:06.159
ship Rock, and we fished Morgan Lake at night time
18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.000
for years. We fished it at night and we always
19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.840
heard like, you know people, you know the power It's
20
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.599
we fished the power plant lake because stays warm year round,
21
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.560
the water never gets below sixty degrees. We catch some
22
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.680
huge bass, big catfish, you know that. And it's just
23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.640
better at nighttime. We've never really had anything spooky at night,
24
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.079
even though I've heard like stories and stuff like that.
25
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.680
I mean, I've seen stuff on the reds, but just
26
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.840
never right there. You know. I was glad for it
27
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.840
because I really liked fishing out there. We fished out
28
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:52.280
there probably four nights a week, like, and since the incident,
29
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.640
I've been back twice at night, and that was like
30
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.439
twelve years ago, so kind of go from four times
31
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.040
a week to two times and twelve years give you
32
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.599
an idea. I actually got footage on my phone of
33
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.960
we had another incident just like the year and a
34
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:16.039
half ago. Don't know if it was per se bigfoot,
35
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.080
but I can I can send you the footage. It's
36
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.680
literally all you can see is just red eyes. Literally
37
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.719
you can see I'm shining a flashlight at screaming at
38
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.680
whatever it is, and it's just red eyes just coming
39
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.000
at me. And you can see there's no feet, there's
40
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.680
nobody underneath these their eyes and they're just coming directly
41
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.400
at me and they start running at me, and we
42
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.280
could hear like a Native American like chanting like but
43
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:46.960
So that was a year and a half ago. But
44
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.919
back in twenty twelve, me and my buddy and our
45
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.919
five kids were with us, our five boys, they were
46
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.439
all from like twelve years old to fifteen years old.
47
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.800
Were's about I don't know, about two thirty in the morning,
48
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.439
and we hear this god awful just like something just
49
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.280
like getting the Like it was like imagine something screaming
50
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.080
and getting the life sucked out of it at the
51
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.960
same time. Like that's all we could think of is like, man,
52
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.039
that was really messed up with. So we've got huge spotlights,
53
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.360
like those five million, ten million candlepower you know, those
54
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.400
older school spotlights that we I mean, we're sitting there
55
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.960
just shining. We're in a boat about sixty yards out
56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.759
in the water, and we're shining in the Russian all
57
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.159
lips that is right where the cold water comes into
58
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.400
the lake. If you go on YouTube, you can pull
59
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.280
up the lake and you can see exactly where I'm
60
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.759
talking about, Like you can see all the trees and everything.
61
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.800
It's really dense in there with Russian all in all
62
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:06.319
sorts of undergrowth, I mean really dense. I mean, and
63
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.039
my buddy were sitting there and were just spotlighting and
64
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.240
we see something move and we're like, we're looking at
65
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.319
this Russian all of tree and we're seeing something moving.
66
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.079
I'm like, what are we seeing here? Because it's it's
67
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.759
up kind of high, and we're like, what what what
68
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.000
is this? I mean? And it's it's not brown or anything.
69
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.199
It's like it's a gray like kind of the color
70
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.480
of the picture behind you. You know, literally that's the
71
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:40.879
color of gray. But as it as it moves out
72
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.079
and there's a little beach right there where people fish,
73
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.920
and there's a Russian olive branch on a tree that
74
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.319
kind of sticks out over the beach there. And why
75
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.720
that stood out to us is because we seen this.
76
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.240
The thing comes out from behind the trees and were
77
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.519
just all frozen. But we've seen it very clearly duck
78
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.079
down about six to eight inches dip down to get
79
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.800
underneath this branch. Okay, why that's a big deal is
80
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.199
because we measured the branch the next morning and it
81
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.600
was eight foot eight inches to the bottom of that branch.
82
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.800
I mean, wow, okay, I mean that's dead on we
83
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.279
I mean we took pictures that we had. I've got
84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.120
an older iPad that's got the pictures of the footprints too.
85
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.040
We got like these footprints were massive, like they were
86
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.800
nineteen inches, but if you measured like the nails like
87
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.199
there were on them, it was it was almost like
88
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.519
a bob or like a mountain won kind of nail
89
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.040
on the foot, like something sharp, like a claw like that,
90
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.279
But it was eleven inches the width at the top
91
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.759
like where the toes were at. And we we think,
92
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.199
we're pretty sure that they're six toes on it with
93
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.199
a four inch heel where the heel was about four
94
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.160
inches in width there. But the one thing that what
95
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.120
screwed us up with is as it's standing there and
96
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.560
we're sitting there watching it, we're sixty yards away. We're
97
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.639
not two hundred yards away. We're in a bout sixty
98
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.360
yards off shore with these giant spotlights, and this thing's
99
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.959
looking not at us, but looking like just looking straight
100
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.759
ahead of it, which so we got only a side
101
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.560
profile of it. The thing is I mean massively thick,
102
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.519
like it's not like a skinny. But the one thing
103
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.360
that we notice is it's got a German shepherd like snout.
104
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.680
Like the nose on this I mean it's got a
105
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:58.279
clear dog face on this thing. Okay, and it rolls
106
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.360
its shoulders like it's like, and we're like looking at
107
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.519
it like we're trying to make sense of this. We're thinking,
108
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.120
like somebody's screwing with us. This isn't real. And we're
109
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.439
just like sitting everyone like this. And my buddy because
110
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.399
he owns the shoe store up there in the mall,
111
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.160
and he's like, he's like, I mean, we don't drink,
112
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.920
we're not we're not out there doing anything, nothing like that.
113
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.920
And we're sitting there like this. We're trying to figure
114
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.439
out what are we looking at here? And this thing
115
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.120
it rolls its shoulders and it takes off running. And
116
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.160
the one thing that made us both feel like were
117
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.759
we being pranked or something? I mean, if we wouldn't
118
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.480
when we measured the height the next morning, we knew
119
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.519
there was That was the end of the questions because
120
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.360
this thing took off running and it was I mean instantly,
121
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.839
I mean we could we could see it about a
122
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.600
half of like it was within eyesight for about a
123
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.480
half a mile with our spotlights. We could kind of
124
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.279
see it going up over the as it's running. But
125
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.600
when it took off running, the hair on this thing
126
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:02.199
was about that the length. We guessed it between eight
127
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:09.439
to thirteen inches long on it, but it was well groomed.
128
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.439
This is what we were like, weird because it literally
129
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.079
when it took off running, we could see it like
130
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.759
it looked like a Panteine commercial. Like it was well
131
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.319
groomed enough to where the hair was like like like
132
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.079
flop flopping. I mean, it was very smooth. Looked like
133
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.519
We're like that, that's not real. Like we're we're like,
134
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.560
somebody's that's a costume, you know what I mean, Like
135
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.000
because like who's got gonna be maintaining the you know
136
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.600
what I mean, an outfit out there? Right, But the
137
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.720
thing took off running and I mean we were confident
138
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.759
that it was running at a thirty mile an hour pace. Okay,
139
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.000
this thing goes up and over the hill. Once it
140
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.159
got over the hill, all suddenly every kyot in the
141
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.919
entire Western hemisphere started yelping at the same time. I
142
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.879
mean they sounded like they were in the water next
143
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.440
to us. I mean, the kids start freaking out, start crying.
144
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.399
They're like, really like, let's go, let's and we're like no,
145
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.759
We're like we're like, wow, we're let's let's get a
146
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.559
little while you know, no, I'm not really wanting to
147
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.399
go trailer of the boat right then. And all of
148
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.320
a sudden we look up on the hill and to
149
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.519
this day, if you if you go up there, there's
150
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.799
a single wide trailer, okay, And up there and we
151
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.720
see a truck come down and it's got a spotlight
152
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.759
on the side driver's side and it's, you know, looking
153
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.639
for something with this and it's looking and it's coming down,
154
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.879
and all of suddenly, here comes another one, and then
155
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.559
a bat a minute later, here comes another one, and
156
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.799
about two minutes later, here comes another one, and we're
157
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.279
and they're doing like a grid search with their spotlights
158
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.039
on the doors, and we're like, those gotta be cops.
159
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.559
But there's no way that's cops, because that isn't a
160
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.279
Navajo reservation. These guys are spread thin is an understatement.
161
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.960
To see two of them, you're like, Wow, let's go
162
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.559
going on to see three of them. That's unheard of them.
163
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.639
I've never seen four of them to this day, I
164
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.480
haven't seen four of them, okay. And that there was
165
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.159
four trucks out there, one of them kind of bee
166
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.679
lines for us down there at the because we got
167
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.000
a little lantern and stuff on my deck boat. It
168
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.240
sees it down there. He comes ripping down there to
169
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.799
the water. He gets he literally gets out of his
170
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:28.159
truck says, hey, come here, and we're like, so I go,
171
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.720
I'm getting ready to start the boat and go over there.
172
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.840
And he looks down and he goes and all of
173
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.240
a sudden, we see him grab his his walkie talking goes, hey,

I got footprints, let's go, and they literally he goes,
175
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.519
I'll talk to you later. And he literally he jumps
176
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.799
in his truck, struts his door, and they literally all
177
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.200
come down and they follow him, and he could they
178
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.240
follow those footprints just up and over the ridge. And
179
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.440
we're like, well, this is probably the best time to
180
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.159

181
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000

182
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.159
by now in the morning. I mean, we get to
183
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.559
