00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.599
members only episode today. It is a crazy one. I
3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.000
talked to an individual from out there in Oakridge, Oregon,
4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:16.879
and we talk about everything from bigfoot attacks to giant creature,
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.160
water creatures found down by Hills Creek Reservoir and way
6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.600
way more and we go out to Idaho Hudo Mountain
7
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.320
and we're going out to and we're going all over
8
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.839
the place. This one is one you will not want

20
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.719
And I was like when we went and we climbed
21
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.120
up that butte and we saw something that we thought
22
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.640
was a bear that ended up being what I can only.
23
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.239
Describe as a sasquatch.
24
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
He's like, no, I saw a big we saw a
25
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.519
big elk And I was like, what are you talking about?
26
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.799
He's like yeah, But the weird part was it's antlers
27
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.560
were like a moose. I'm like, are you kidding me?
28
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.079
What are you talking about? This makes that makes no sense.
29
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.120
So I don't know if it was something that he
30
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.120
did to deal with what he's seen, but there was
31
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.879
no elk with moose antlers up on top of that.
32
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.799
Butte that was.
33
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:47.719
Really strange to me.
34
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.480
And I talked to him a few years back and
35
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.280
I brought it up again and it's like, didn't phase him.
36
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.599
He said same thing, laughed about it. So whatever happened
37
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:07.920
within himself or influence from the creature, he does not
38
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:14.400
recollect it like like we do. You know, I've I've
39
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.039
seen a lot of creatures being in an Oregon and hunting,
40
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.639
and I know what an elk looks like. And we
41
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:31.240
did not experience an elk and that was that was
42
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:32.080
the extent of it.
43
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.800
My goodness. That's the kind of individual that I think
44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.879
would be very interesting for hypnosis. Absolutely, I've thought that
45
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.879
to see to see if if there's something where he
46
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:54.560
just buried those memories deep and remembers it a certain way. Now,
47
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.680
my goodness, have you been back to that area ever
48
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.759
since then? No, not at all.
49
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.039
Yeah, I the opportunity never never brought me back to it.
50
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:15.240
Mm hmm. Okay, my goodness. That is wild. You said
51
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.159
you're from Oakridge as well.
52
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.599
Yeah, I'm from Oakridge. I was born in Cottage Grove area.
53
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.560
And uh yeah, oh man, so.
54
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.520
I was born in the back of a Volkswagen van
55
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.319
in Cottage Grove in the parking lot of the hospital.
56
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:38.520
It didn't quite make it, dud. Wow, you must have
57
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.039
you've you've got to have heard things from Oakridge or
58
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.599
that area. I would guess, yes, yes, so there there
59
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.439
is heard.
60
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:52.960
Oh yeah, so there's some significant things. One thing that
61
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.439
is a real big talk amongst amongst locals that know
62
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.680
about it is something known as Christie's Crack, and apparently
63
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.280
up past oak Ridge, past Huckleberry Flats and whatever that
64
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.800
lake is in that direction, there's a spot on Google
65
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.920
Maps where you go to look and there's just a
66
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.920
big square that's kind of just wided out, the thirty
67
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.879
plus mile kind of square. That's doesn't have any satellite,
68
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:33.519
you know, terrain information about it at all. And apparently
69
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.279
there once on a time you used to be able
70
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.720
to drive out there. There's you know, some hot springs
71
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.319
around that area and stuff too, and there's this this
72
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.839
crack in the earth that just opens up super narrow
73
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.720
up top from like six inches to maybe a couple feet, but.
74
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.720
It's so deep.
75
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.959
There's people that's that's try to make it to the
76
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.639
bottom that just never came and back like with climbing equipment,
77
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.120
you know, putting a beam across and and trying to
78
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.279
repel down. And I've just the stories I've heard from
79
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.560
from that area, and it's been closed off I guess
80
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.759
since the mid nineties.
81
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.480
I know I've heard of this. It's called uh is
82
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.759
it called hellhole too or crack in the ground. Yes, No,
83
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:27.800
that's something different.
84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:32.439
So there's a couple of names that it's gone by.
85
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.560
Uh the crack in the ground sounds that sounds like
86
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.800
something I've heard people say.
87
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.000
But no, no, that's over by Christmas Valley. I think
88
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.639
that's right.
89
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.720
That's why it sounds familiar.
90
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.720
That is in Christmas Valley. You're right, Yeah, I think
91
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.560
it's called hell I've hold. I've told I've had some
92
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.720
friends tell me about it, and they I think they've
93
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.680
called it hellhole because a lot of people have actually
94
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:58.879
gotten seriously hurt in.
95
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:04.879
That oh yeah, just swallowed up, gone like beyond the
96
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.199
beyond the ability to make it to the bottom. You know,
97
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.480
People's tried dropping down cameras and and whatever else, and
98
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.639
a lot of weird stuff happens out in that area.
99
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:22.360
And as of now, the last time that I was
100
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.639
going out there with a couple of friends, we're riding
101
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.959
motorcycles trying to make it out towards that area, and
102
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:34.040
there's a pretty significant perimeter that they have up and
103
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.959
there's just claims that it's like under military operation, like
104
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.079
a kind of like a base essentially, but there's not
105
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.439
a whole lot of information about it.
106
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.959
We were kind of chuckling underneath their breath, so I
107
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.199
was like, I'm going to clap because I heard you know,
108
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.319
we're gonna if you clap, you So I clap, and
109
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.839
I'm not kidding it. Response clap came back about seventy
110
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.279
five to one hundred feet into the swamp, like probably
111
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.360
knee deep water to you know, towards our right right
112
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.000
from that section. So immediately Goosebomp's hair went on both
113
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.839
of our arms, like we couldn't believe it. I clapped twice.
114
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.120
It clapped twice, and I clapped three times. That never
115
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.560
responded again. That was one counter in this certain area.
116
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.120
I've had another counter in this area as well, but
117
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.360
that was the significant one where no one's out there.
118
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.079
We didn't see a single car. You're typing thousands of miles.
119
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.560
I don't want to give the exact location away because
120
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.240
I have had many weird encounters and other people have
121
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.360
claimed to have encounters twenty years ago, ten years ago. Okay,
122
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.240
I don't want anyone kind of going out there. But
123
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.879
that's that's the story of it.
124
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:55.759
Actually, that's one of the things I love that that detail.
125
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.519
It comes up a bit in interviews i've done. I've
126
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.720
even had a person that told me in Northern Georgia,
127
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:12.040
they did, do you know there's like the clap clap,
128
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.360
and then at the end it goes clap clap that one.
129
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.839
They it's like an old thing from movies. They did
130
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.720
that and then something responded back with that at the end.
131
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.040
So was there any weird smells out there?
132
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.799
So when we got to the dead end where we
133
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.000
couldn't walk anymore. I mean, we were going to keep going,
134
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.159
but it's like I said, the swamp started taking over.
135
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.559
We weren't prepared for that. It was all dry, you know,
136
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.480
we're fishing the river bed following it, so it's only
137
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.679
ten feet wide, and it's going and snaked like you know,
138
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.879
motions all the way back. And then it started getting swamps,
139
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.879
so we weren't prepared for it. We did started smelling
140
00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:00.000
something prior, but it you know, people say skunk or whatever.
141
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.600
It was a musky smell. We contributed at the time
142
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.279
as just a swamp, you know, because we started really
143
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.799
getting into some nasty stuff and we were making a
144
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.360
joke when you know, when it charged us, you felt
145
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.840
the vibration in the ground it it fell, we could
146
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.039
feel in our bones like it was no. I didn't
147
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.919
even look at my buddy. We were in the mid
148
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:29.279
cast fishing, and the vibration and the breaking of the
149
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.919
branches and tree, I mean, it was so much force
150
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.639
that we didn't even we didn't even look. I just
151
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.720
immediately started running. I broke my pull and my buddy
152
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.759
started running, and we ran so far until we were
153
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.039
our lungs were burning. That's when we slowly walked back.
154
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.440
Oh my goodness, can you do you mind sharing the
155
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.720
other thing that you had happen in there? Even though
156
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.200
you said it, it wasn't so the wasn't too crazy.
157
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.000
But yeah. So the second and the second weird thing
158
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.879
that I can't explain is we were in the We
159
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.320
were in that same area. We love to drive through
160
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.399
this area at night, so it's a little giveaway if
161
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.559
people can find a wildlife management open. That's twenty four
162
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.399
to seven and it was probably two three am. We
163
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.480
like taking night drives out there every now and then.
164
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.519
And it was we were coming around this bin and
165
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.080
there's a river bed on each side and there's just
166
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.879
a little rock way like a little tunnel that kind
167
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.440
of drive like a little bridge. And I stopped there
168
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.600
and the car was still on The car was still
169
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.960
in drive, and we took out our flashlights and we're
170
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.120
looking in the water on each side of the vehicle
171
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.399
because the water dropped straight down. We were looking for snakes,
172
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.159
you know, anything fun whatever, and this branch broke behind
173
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.279
us and it hit almost the back of my vehicle.
174
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.080
And I could tell it was a branch because the
175
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.039
way it sounded that you can hear the snap of
176
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.679
this tree lamb, and then this massive thump to where
177
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.159
the back of our car moved. It was some type
178
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.799
of animal or person, and then we felt the footsteps boom.
179
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.200
I mean my head was still out the window when
180
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.360
I floored the car. I didn't even have enough reaction
181
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.480
time to put my head back into the vehicle because
182
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.759
I had the flashlight out and whatever it was we were,
183
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.399
I told my wife and my friend to turn the
184
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.399
flashlight around while we were driving. They were so mortified,
185
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.000
did even want to stick their hand or or or
186
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.559
hands or head out the window to look behind us.
187
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.879
Why we were I mean it's only probably ten fifteen
188
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.399
mile an hour speed limit toward these rocky areas, but
189
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.000
I was booking fifty sixty. I mean, we were terrified.
190
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.840
When I get the lights back on, I look ahead,
191
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.919
maybe sixty feet in front of me, and there were
192
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.159
a salamander that's so big that it's taking up most
193
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.600
of the two lanes.
194
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.279
Of that road. And it was huge, dude.
195
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.200
It had like and it had like this huge red
196
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:17.879
like thing looked almost like a dragon, and I was like,
197
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.159
I couldn't it took me a second to realize what
198
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.840
I was looking at. And the thing was just massive salamander,
199
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.799
no mistaking. And the thing just wandered across the road
200
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:35.080
and went down down to the creek there.
201
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.399
Oh my goodness, how how long would you estimate that
202
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:38.879
it was?
203
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.120
It had to be a better part of like eight feet. Man,
204
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:49.440
the thing was gigantic. It's uh. I wouldn't have wanted
205
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.159
to get close to it. The thing was big enough,
206
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.120
I think to be.
207
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:59.120
To be a worry to be concerned about, you know, yeah, yeah, like.
208
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:02.519
I've never seen.
209
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.840
I've never seen.
210
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.519
You know, I've seen some pretty big ones that a
211
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.320
foot and a half, you know, almost two feet, but
212
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.519
this thing being almost two lanes that is a that
213
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.120
is a big creature coming up out of the water
214
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.720
on the land. Oh my god, some some type of
215
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:26.240
like some type of like river deity or something. Man,
216
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.879
it was wild. It is probably one of the most
217
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.639
coolest things that I've seen.
218
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.679
No, absolutely, man, Can I ask you one more question
219
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.799
and then I'll let you go. I apologize, all right,
220
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.039

221
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:46.480
