In this episode PREVIEW, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Rex from New Mexico, who recounts a chilling series of encounters along the edges of the Navajo Nation. Living near the remote waters of Morgan Lake outside of Shiprock, Rex shares how a routine late-night fishing trip turned into something he never could have imagined. Describing a massive presence emerging from dense lakeside brush, unexplained sounds cutting through the darkness, and physical evidence left behind at the scene, Rex paints a vivid picture of a night that changed his understanding of the world forever.

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,

174
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.559
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
get get this boat out of the water or what

181
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000
you know what I mean, it's probably three point thirty

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
record time, load this boat up. We get to my house.

184
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.039
It and like everybody did, like my buddy stays at

185
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.159
my house that night that we didn't exactly tell my

186
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.559
wife exactly, We just said we had an incident out

187
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.279
of the thing. She gets up about four point thirty

188
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.919
five in the morning, like to get something to drink

189
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.200
and she looks out the back window, and that thing's

190
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.639
in my backyard. Smelling the railing where I had my

191
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:40.240
hand on my like I was gripped onto that the railing,
