father 8 00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:36,559 on a farm in the vicinity of shawano 9 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,239 wisconsin which is very near the 10 00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:40,160 menominee indian reservation 11 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,680 there had been some buzz within the 12 00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:43,520 community of an unknown large hairy 13 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,079 creature 14 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:46,320 spotted by two deer hunters not far from 15 00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,200 our farm 16 00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,280 i had heard stories of the manna baywalk 17 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,280 or the giants from stories told by the 18 00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:53,360 menominee but i just considered these 19 00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,879 tales to be legends 20 00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,960 then one evening my father and i were 21 00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,800 coming home from the store and noticed 22 00:01:02,549 --> 00:01:00,640 what appeared to be two hairy creatures 23 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:02,559 collecting squash from the garden 24 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:05,199 each creature was at least six foot tall 25 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:06,080 it was dusk 26 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,760 but there was enough light to clearly 27 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:09,119 see what they were doing 28 00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:11,200 my father immediately cut the headlights 29 00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:13,200 and stopped the car as we just sat there 30 00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,439 and watched them pick and eat the squash 31 00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,439 they didn't seem to even notice us even 32 00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,759 though we were about 100 feet from them 33 00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,600 after about five minutes one of the 34 00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:23,200 creatures looked in our direction 35 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,119 and you could see its eyes glow red from 36 00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,360 the moonlight we started to get scared 37 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,360 and decided to make a dash for the house 38 00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:30,799 and call the police 39 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:33,200 then suddenly a huge disc shaped objects 40 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,240 appeared above us 41 00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,320 and slowly moved towards the east field 42 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:38,479 which was about 200 hundred yards from 43 00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:39,520 us and landed 44 00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:41,759 i estimate the craft was about 40 feet 45 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:42,880 in diameter 46 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:45,119 a large sliding door opened immediately 47 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,720 and a foggy green light glowed from 48 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:48,000 within the craft 49 00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,320 after a few seconds the door closed and 50 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:52,399 craft slowly rose and shot off towards 51 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:53,200 the north 52 00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,880 then we noticed that the creatures were 53 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,799 gone a few days later 54 00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:58,479 our neighbors the canes from down the 55 00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,159 road came over for dinner 56 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,240 after we finished eating my father and 57 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,159 mr kane walked outside 58 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,399 after an hour or so the neighbors left 59 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,479 and i started to clean up the kitchen 60 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,800 later that evening i was watching tv in 61 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:11,840 the living room 62 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,160 my father walked in turned off the tv 63 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,840 and sat down beside me 64 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:18,000 he told me that mr kane and his sister 65 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,760 witnessed one of the craft on the same 66 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,520 night that we had our encounter 67 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,360 as well they witnessed several of the 68 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:25,280 large hairy creatures meandering in the 69 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,480 nearby woods 70 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,400 mr kane said that he

in high school 88 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,280 a few friends of mine were over at my 89 00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:15,120 house a neighborhood on the side of a 90 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,959 mountain surrounded by a force 91 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,720 we were bored with our video games and 92 00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:21,200 tv so we all decide to walk a trail in 93 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,080 the woods 94 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:24,000 this is about 3 am and we weren't 95 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,920 worried about running into bears because 96 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,760 it was their hibernation time 97 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:29,360 so we gear up for the zero degree 98 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,879 weather and leave for a trail up the 99 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:32,000 mountain that i had played 100 00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,760 at as a kid running through the woods 101 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:35,120 and building forts 102 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,040 so of course growing up in it knowing it 103 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,280 like my own home i wasn't too worried 104 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,280 we crossed the bridge onto the trail and 105 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:43,200 walked about a half mile when my friend 106 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,760 stops 107 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:46,080 and says he heard something up ahead i 108 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:47,760 say that it's most likely a tea or 109 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,319 something 110 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:50,560 having seen much of alaska's wildlife in 111 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,519 east woods 112 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,200 so we keep walking and by this point 113 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:55,200 he's a little nervous glancing around a 114 00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:55,760 lot 115 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,680 my third friend started to say it was 116 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,840 probably the kashtaka a local legend of 117 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,519 the creature that shape shifts into 118 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,360 something that lures you to your death 119 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,280 he freaks out even more and i tell him 120 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,360 i've spent half my life in these woods 121 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,879 and haven't seen one thing that was 122 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,239 remotely strange 123 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:12,239 about five minutes later we heard snow 124 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:14,319 crunch under huge pine tree about 10 125 00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,760 yards in front of us 126 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,840 we stop dead in our tracks looking up 127 00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,440 the path towards the tree 128 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,519 i shine the flashlight in that direction 129 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:23,360 and we catch a flash of something new 130 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,400 behind the tree 131 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,080 almost like a bike reflector or 132 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:28,479 something we started walking slowly away 133 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,280 from the tree 134 00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:31,280 back down the trail not looking away 135 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,320 from the tree 136 00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,160 then we see a hand from behind the tree 137 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,240 touch the ground and i stopped dead 138 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,400 frozen with fear not looking away with 139 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:40,240 my flashlight directly on it 140 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,240 it took a few seconds for my friends to 141 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,160 realize what i was looking at 142 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,320 then they saw it too my friend who had 143 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:48,240 been scared this whole time goes nuts 144 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:50,080 and starts putting together words that 145 00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,360 made no sense 146 00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:53,199 whatever was behind the trees leaned out 147 00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:55,759 to look at us its eyes reflected like a 148 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:57,759 dog's from the beam of my flashlight 149 00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:00,080 making its face blurry from the glare 150 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,360 instantly we all run 151 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:03,919 not daring to stop no movement was hurt 152 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,440 until we had reached the bridge 153 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:07,759 when one of my friends fell on the ice 154 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:09,360 that's when i heard it bounding up the 155 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,720 path towards us 156 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,639 i shine my light and there it is running 157 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,880 towards us on all fours half screaming 158 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,039 half howling it looks almost like a 159 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:19,039 human but seemed to be a lot taller and 160 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,680 skinnier 161 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,520 very pale in the moonlight and against 162 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:24,000 the snow it was completely naked 163 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,919 so i run and jump off the low bridge 164 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:27,759 onto the frozen creek and yell for them 165 00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,800 to follow me 166 00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:30,320 we run down the side of the creek 167 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:32,479 towards my neighborhood i have never run 168 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:33,919 so fast and so far 169 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,240 but i kept on for fear of what i saw 170 00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,759 during the entire run i could hear 171 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:39,440 whatever was running through the woods 172 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:40,960 directly to the right of us 173 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,400 all the way until we got to the 174

00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,880 entertaining another couple 312 00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,040 i laid down and turned the radio on 313 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,040 while i drifted to sleep 314 00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:37,040 the only thing i remember next is my 315 00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:39,519 mother making lots of noise while inside 316 00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,640 the rv 317 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,880 i sat up and watched my father looking 318 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,880 for something in a storage bin 319 00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:46,800 the next thing i noticed was him holding 320 00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:47,920 his pistol 321 00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:50,240 i was wide awake now wondering what was 322 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,360 going on 323 00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:53,680 i started to ask but was quickly told to 324 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:55,600 be quiet by both of them 325 00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:57,440 they were standing by the door when 326 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:59,440 suddenly something slammed into the back 327 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:00,720 of the rv 328 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,480 i thought someone had hit us with a 329 00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:04,720 vehicle the window in the back was 330 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,200 smashed and the curtain was on the floor 331 00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:09,200 i moved towards my parents when again 332 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:10,959 something slammed into the back of the 333 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:11,680 rv 334 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:14,000 at the same time a deep rumbling sound 335 00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,839 came from the same direction 336 00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:17,839 i never thought my mother could scream 337 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,880 so loud 338 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:21,120 my father raised the pistol and fired 339 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,720 through the window opening 340 00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,640 we waited quietly for something to 341 00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:27,120 happen whatever it was must have run 342 00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:29,839 off by that time someone was yelling 343 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:31,760 from outside wanting to know what was 344 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,880 going on 345 00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:34,320 i think it was someone from the 346 00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:37,200 campground my father went outside to 347 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,959 talk to

me 351 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,360 tight my father came back into the rv 352 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,760 and said that we were leaving he grabbed 353 00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:51,519 whatever gear was outside 354 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:54,240 threw it in the rv and we were off none 355 00:11:58,949 --> 00:11:56,320 of us talked much as we drove home 356 00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:58,959 which was about a four hour drive a few 357 00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,880 days later my mother told me what 358 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,320 happened that night 359 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:04,399 my parents were just about ready to go 360 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:05,360 to bed 361 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:08,480 she said it was about 11 45 pm and she 362 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,360 was cleaning up 363 00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:11,519 outside when she noticed something large 364 00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:14,160 on two legs run from behind the rv into 365 00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:15,279 the forest 366 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:17,360 my father told her that it was probably 367 00:12:20,389 --> 00:12:18,320 a bear 368 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:20,399 then he saw it duck out and then back 369 00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,519 into the woods 370 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,200 there wasn't much light other than that 371 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:25,360 from a lantern and the back window from 372 00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:26,959 inside the rv 373 00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:29,680 he told her that it was no bear by that 374 00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,120 time they were in the rv 375 00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:33,279 and her deep guttural grunts coming from 376 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:34,399 the creature 377 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:37,120 my father then slowly opened the door it 378 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,079 was

382 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:44,959 went looking for the pistol 383 00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:46,959 my father has never said much about 384 00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:48,079 whatever it was 385 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:50,160 but from his later descriptions i 386 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,320 believe he confronted a bigfoot 387 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,480 he described it as covered head to toe 388 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,560 with thick dark hair with a wide nose 389 00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:58,560 and piercing yellow eyes that glowed in 390 00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,440 the light 391
