beh tied up right Keenan encountered in

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:35,950
Wise River Montana this incident

9
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:37,930
occurred along the Y's River in Montana

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:40,180
I live alone and in this remote location

11
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:42,489
we don't have cable so the only option

12
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:45,340
is satellite TV it was a humid summer

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:48,160
night in July 2015 at around 11:30 p.m.

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:50,890
and the TV was acting up so I needed to

15
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:52,930
go out and readjust the satellite like

16
00:00:55,650 --> 00:00:53,590
usual

17
00:00:58,049 --> 00:00:55,660
I took a flashlight in the gun with me

18
00:01:00,660 --> 00:00:58,059
when I went outside it was unusually

19
00:01:02,369 --> 00:01:00,670
quite I also purchased an Arkansas due

20
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:02,379
to other sightings I've had but they

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:04,150
were incredible enough to chalk it up as

22
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:06,370
a Dortmund it was so silent it was

23
00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:08,620
unnerving I brushed the thought off and

24
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,360
went to the dish which is in the corner

25
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:12,640
of my yard I went to work making sure

26
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:14,440
all the wires were all right and

27
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:15,810
pointing it to a different angle

28
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:18,520
suddenly I heard a small snap of a stick

29
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:20,470
to my left and turned the flashlight to

30
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:22,150
the direction and I saw creature

31
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:24,460
standing there I got a good look at it

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:26,470
for what seemed like an eternity but was

33
00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:28,930
for only about 10 seconds I slowly

34
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:31,000
backed off and ran back to the house and

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:33,070
locked all the doors and windows the

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:34,930
creature was unlike anything I have ever

37
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,210
seen before when I shined the light at

38
00:01:41,279 --> 00:01:39,520
it the first thing I saw was the head it

39
00:01:43,649 --> 00:01:41,289
has cropped ears that pointed upwards

40
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:43,659
it's Sal was narrower than it bears and

41
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:45,609
longer and I could make out large teeth

42
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,950
protruding from the jaw its eyes were a

43
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:49,600
deep red shade that seemed to reflect

44
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:52,060
off the light I was pointing at it the

45
00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:54,670
body was muscular and huge it had long

46
00:01:58,980 --> 00:01:56,500
arms that appeared to be longer than its

47
00:02:01,260 --> 00:01:58,990
legs broad shoulders that tapered into a

48
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,270
skinnier waist it was slightly crouched

49
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:03,280
over when I saw it with one hand wrapped

50
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,560
around a small tree I could make out the

51
00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:07,840
legs which looked similar to dogs legs

52
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:10,420
it had obvious hocks even with the

53
00:02:14,730 --> 00:02:12,250
crouched position it was about my height

54
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:14,740
which is 6 foot standing up to full

55
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:16,360
height this creature could easily be

56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:18,760
seven and a half feet tall the fur was

57
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:20,410
black and thicker around the neck and

58
00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:22,569
chest and the bottom half significantly

59
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:24,580
less so I don't know if it was

60
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:26,800
aggressive or not what I know is I had a

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:28,510
feeling of dread unlike anything I've

62
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:31,090
ever experienced was it just observing

63
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:33,190
near stalking me for creature this

64
00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:35,950
largest was deceivingly silent it got

65
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:37,780
within 15 yards of me without me

66
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:40,150
noticing all I knew was I needed to get

67
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:42,250
out of there and not find out I don't

68
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:44,140
live on the property anymore but after

69
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:45,040
the event I never

70
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:47,530
had another face-to-face encounter but I

71
00:02:51,059 --> 00:02:49,030
would hear sounds in the woods I

72
00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:51,069
couldn't explain they would start off

73
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:53,140
relatively quiet and work their way up

74
00:02:57,539 --> 00:02:55,030
to furious howls screams then back down

75
00:02:59,309 --> 00:02:57,549
to quiet again I don't know if this was

76
00:03:06,760 --> 00:02:59,319
the same thing because it could be local

77
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:09,350
shocking upright canine encounter in

78
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:12,090
Michigan's Eastern African insula my

79
00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:13,890
encounter happened on deer season

80
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:16,500
opening day in November of 2013 in the

81
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:18,630
Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan on

82
00:03:22,699 --> 00:03:20,610
family hunting property near a town

83
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:22,709
called Cedarville the house where my

84
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:24,840
husband and I were staying in had a big

85
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:27,000
front yard but other than that cleared

86
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:29,310
area and the gravel driveway everything

87
00:03:34,009 --> 00:03:31,680
else is pretty deep hardwood forest I

88
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:34,019
also want to stay ahead of time that

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:36,450
this happened at around 11 p.m. so

90
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:38,010
everything that's beyond the porch

91
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:41,010
lights was pretty hard to see my husband

92
00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:42,600
and I had gone outside to have a

93
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:44,819
cigarette and we took a rifle out with

94
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:46,230
us whenever we were hanging around

95
00:03:51,410 --> 00:03:48,870
outside because there's bear and stuff

96
00:03:53,539 --> 00:03:51,420
back there in that area I was up on the

97
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:53,549
porch still and my husband had gone down

98
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:55,470
the steps into the yard and was facing

99
00:03:59,840 --> 00:03:57,540
towards me when we heard these really

100
00:04:02,240 --> 00:03:59,850
heavy slow footsteps coming up the

101
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,250
driveway through the woods it sounded

102
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:04,560
like a really big man but there was this

103
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:07,049
weird heavy breathing too even though

104
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:08,640
the footsteps sounded like a person

105
00:04:12,860 --> 00:04:11,010
sounded heavier than anything I had ever

106
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:12,870
heard walking in the woods including

107
00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:15,630
full-sized adult bear my husband looked

108
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:18,750
at me and mount WTF and I was trying to

109
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:20,310
figure out what it was that I was

110
00:04:24,409 --> 00:04:22,740
hearing but nothing I had ever heard out

111
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:24,419
there in those woods matched the size

112
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:26,280
and breathing and gait of whatever this

113
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:29,280
was so I was confused and shaking my

114
00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:32,100
head my husband isn't a hunter and grew

115
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:34,140
up in the city so he was completely

116
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:36,810
confused too I've hunted and tracked

117
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:38,430
basically everything that's indigenous

118
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:40,350
to northern Michigan since I was small

119
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:42,810
so I was honestly terrified that this

120
00:04:46,940 --> 00:04:44,910
animal was a complete unknown to me by

121
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:46,950
sound odd I T walked out of the tree

122
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:48,780
line at the edge of the yard behind my

123
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:51,060
husband and it was a lot taller than him

124
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:53,880
at least 7-foot tall or more and I'd

125
00:04:59,180 --> 00:04:55,770
estimate the weight for its size at

126
00:05:01,010 --> 00:04:59,190
around 400 pounds it was on two legs and

127
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:01,020
had super dark black fur that was

128
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:03,150
somehow even darker than the nighttime

129
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:05,550
dark of the woods it was walking back

130
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:07,410
and forth at that distance from us the

131
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:09,660
whole time this encounter happened but

132
00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,130
it would not step into where the

133
00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:13,680
perimeter of the porch light was I had a

134
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:15,870
really hard time making out its torso

135
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:18,300
for that reason but I saw wolf-like head

136
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:18,780
and

137
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:20,850
with pointed ears that stuck straight up

138
00:05:25,970 --> 00:05:23,640
instead of front legs and paws it had

139
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:25,980
really disproportionately long arms and

140
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:28,710
hands it was on two legs this whole time

141
00:05:33,470 --> 00:05:31,650
walking back and forth I freaked out and

142
00:05:35,450 --> 00:05:33,480
grabbed the rifle and just started

143
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:35,460
shooting at a ten yelling at my husband

144
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:38,250
to run and get up on the porch so he did

145
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:39,930
and then he took the gun from me and

146
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:41,850
told me to find something to use as a

147
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:44,460
weapon and to go inside and hide so I

148
00:05:48,770 --> 00:05:46,980
did I got a big knife and went and

149
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:48,780
locked myself in our bedroom in the

150
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:50,730
closet and could hear my husband

151
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:52,890
shooting and reloading a bunch for about

152
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:55,530
another ten minutes he came in and told

153
00:05:59,330 --> 00:05:57,120
me through the closet door that the

154
00:06:01,280 --> 00:05:59,340
creature had finally run off but he

155
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:01,290
wasn't sure if it was going to possibly

156
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:03,240
come back so we were both pretty

157
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:05,730
terrified I ended up staying in that

158
00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:07,950
closet all night until sunrise with my

159
00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:09,720
husband guarding the door with the gun

160
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:12,030
he told me that he thought I had hit it

161
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,010
when I was shooting at first but the

162
00:06:17,659 --> 00:06:15,840
next day we didn't find any blood or

163
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:17,669
hair or anything which I thought was

164
00:06:22,130 --> 00:06:19,890
weird because I really thought I must

165
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:22,140
have shot and wounded it a couple times

166
00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:25,020
it moved incredibly fast though and was

167
00:06:28,969 --> 00:06:26,729
agile enough to run through the brush

168
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:28,979
and stuff without really mowing it down

169
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:31,440
or making a bunch of noise like big

170
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:33,660
animals usually do running through dense

171
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:36,330
underbrush and stuff the whole encounter

172
00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:39,270
was incredibly weird and scary my

173
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:41,190
husband also said that he did see it's

174
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:42,840
sort of hunched over and dropped down

175
00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:45,510
onto all fours a few times while it was

176
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:47,340
running back and forth at the edge of

177
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:49,260
the yard but that when it ran away for

178
00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:51,120
good that night that it was running

179
00:06:56,570 --> 00:06:53,940
insanely fast and on two legs like a man

180
00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:56,580
we didn't smell anything bad like a lot

181
00:07:00,290 --> 00:06:58,380
of people described when they see these

182
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:00,300
things and it didn't even leave any

183
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,550
noticeable tracks anywhere even though

184
00:07:06,170 --> 00:07:04,080
the thing was so heavy when it was

185
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:06,180
walking up the gravel driveway that I

186
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:08,100
swore the ground near it must have been

187
00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:10,740
shaking we found out later from one of

188
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:12,300
the neighbors that he had seen a two

189
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:14,490
next-door the winter before when it came

190
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:16,590
up on the porch of his cabin and looked

191
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:18,780
in the door window during a party he and

192
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:21,150
his wife had been throwing he said he

193
00:07:24,890 --> 00:07:22,800
heard really heavy footsteps on the

194
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:24,900
porch and pulled back the curtain on the

195
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:26,970
window and the creature was standing

196
00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:28,500
there on the other side of the glass

197
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:30,750
looking down at him but that its fur was

198
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:32,830
white then I think that's

199
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:34,510
probably because there was snow on the

200
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:36,850
ground at this point in the year my

201
00:07:40,170 --> 00:07:38,410
neighbor hollered at everyone and the

202
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:40,180
cabin and told them what he had just

203
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:42,610
seen and then everyone decided to make a

204
00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:44,170
run for it through the woods to his

205
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:46,420
mom's house next door since her place

206
00:07:50,850 --> 00:07:48,370
was a lot sturdier than the hunting

207
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:50,860
cabin I've known that neighbor my whole

208
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:53,050
life practically since high school and

209
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:54,850
he would never make something like that

210
00:07:57,750 --> 00:07:55,540
up

211
00:08:00,450 --> 00:07:57,760
he was scared even while he was just

212
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:00,460
talking about it I also read somewhere

213
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:02,290
online recently that another family

214
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:05,320
about 45 miles north of our area had a

215
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:07,510
bunch of livestock like cows and horses

216
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:10,270
turned up dead and torn up by some kind

217
00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:12,820
of big predator one of the guys in the

218
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,980
family saw a giant upright wolf back

219
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:16,720
near his hunting blind during deer

220
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:18,670
season which of course freaked me out

221
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:20,940
since we had our experience on the

222
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:23,470
season-opener the land budding up to

223
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:25,450
that family's property is hundreds of

224
00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:28,000
miles of the Hiawatha National Forest so

225
00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:29,740
it would make sense to me that a big

226
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:31,870
animal would hide in a near a protected

227
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:33,730
area like that when it's hearing

228
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:34,450
gunshots

229
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,240
everywhere else my lot and my neighbor's

230
00:08:42,270 --> 00:08:39,760
lot also are right alongside state land

231
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:42,280
my husband and I moved since this all

232
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:44,290
happened but the experience was so

233
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:45,910
upsetting to me that I constantly

234
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:48,310
research online to see if anyone else

235
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:50,530
has seen the thing up north and what

236
00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:52,960
their encounter was like and stuff I've

237
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:55,000
even heard that there's a small pack of

238
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:56,920
about four or five of them that live in

239
00:09:01,410 --> 00:08:58,810
state forests downstate in Isabella

240
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:01,420
County a bunch of locals in the nearby

241
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:03,910
area have seen in that somebody even saw

242
00:09:08,190 --> 00:09:05,740
one at night in downtown Saginaw

243
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:08,200
Michigan what scares me about that is

244
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:09,700
the fact that there's no tree cover

245
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:12,310
there is that's a city I wonder if

246
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:14,110
people all over the state are seeing

247
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:16,000
these animals because they're getting

248
00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:17,500
forced out of their usual hunting

249
00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:20,140
territories due to hunting logging and

250
00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:22,300
mining that's really increased over the

251
00:09:31,549 --> 00:09:24,100
years here be careful out there

252
00:09:37,470 --> 00:09:34,769
upright k9 chases witnesses near Danbury

253
00:09:40,139 --> 00:09:37,480
Wisconsin my sighting occurred southeast

254
00:09:41,999 --> 00:09:40,149
of our cabin near Danbury Wisconsin the

255
00:09:44,549 --> 00:09:42,009
cryptid was very wolf-like and it

256
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:44,559
definitely was not a bear as well as I'm

257
00:09:49,859 --> 00:09:47,049
pretty sure wolves don't run upright so

258
00:09:51,749 --> 00:09:49,869
I was 17 at the time it was midsummer

259
00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:51,759
and we were at our cabin in Northwest

260
00:09:54,869 --> 00:09:52,660
Wisconsin

261
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:54,879
I was with my cousin and grandparents

262
00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:55,809
for the weekend

263
00:10:00,749 --> 00:09:58,720
I brought my airsoft gear so me and my

264
00:10:03,389 --> 00:10:00,759
cousin are in midair soft battle I took

265
00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:03,399
it more seriously than him I was decked

266
00:10:08,369 --> 00:10:06,040
out in full BTU woodland camo including

267
00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:08,379
the Shemin I retreated into the forest

268
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:10,929
for better tactical advantage so the way

269
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:12,790
our land was set up as there as a trail

270
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,350
that cuts around the border of the

271
00:10:19,199 --> 00:10:16,959
almost acre of own forest our skirmish

272
00:10:21,629 --> 00:10:19,209
took us about 200 meters into the woods

273
00:10:24,119 --> 00:10:21,639
going up the right trail so I'm a huge

274
00:10:25,650 --> 00:10:24,129
outdoorsman I was introduced to hunting

275
00:10:28,439 --> 00:10:25,660
and survival training as well as

276
00:10:30,539 --> 00:10:28,449
firearms at a young age I also had been

277
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,549
practicing MMA for a few years at that

278
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:33,279
point the point is I'm not easily scared

279
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:35,889
and I'm comfortable in the wild now I'm

280
00:10:41,669 --> 00:10:39,040
25 and have even more training I respect

281
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:41,679
the wild a lot more now I was cocky back

282
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:43,929
then anyway here is where things get

283
00:10:47,939 --> 00:10:46,360
strange our battle had ended and we were

284
00:10:50,429 --> 00:10:47,949
standing at the edge of a slightly

285
00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:50,439
clearer area forest and just talking on

286
00:10:54,299 --> 00:10:52,600
the other side of the clearing is a hill

287
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:54,309
that goes down to a small pond

288
00:10:58,799 --> 00:10:56,709
animals are a common sight around there

289
00:11:00,869 --> 00:10:58,809
as it's a watering hole now as any

290
00:11:02,609 --> 00:11:00,879
experienced outdoorsman will know most

291
00:11:04,169 --> 00:11:02,619
small animals will go about their

292
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:04,179
business even when humans are around

293
00:11:08,789 --> 00:11:06,970
birds will still chirp and lanten it but

294
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:08,799
when a big predator is around the forest

295
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:11,529
goes dead quiet so me and my cousin are

296
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:13,660
talking and I decided to freak him out

297
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:15,970
so I shushed him and whispered we're

298
00:11:20,609 --> 00:11:18,610
being watched he got quiet then I

299
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:20,619
realized that it was dead quiet not even

300
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:22,240
birds chirping anymore

301
00:11:26,609 --> 00:11:24,910
then I got that feeling you know when

302
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:26,619
you feel like you are being watched I

303
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:29,049
went into hunter mode at this point and

304
00:11:32,789 --> 00:11:30,610
started scanning the clearing

305
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:32,799
I went from right to left then back on

306
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:35,230
the second look through I sawed its

307
00:11:39,239 --> 00:11:36,850
teeth are what gave it away as they

308
00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:39,249
contrasted with the background once I

309
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:40,630
focused on it I know

310
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:42,730
to canada pearance in the head it had

311
00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:45,040
dark reddish-brown hair fur where it

312
00:11:48,810 --> 00:11:46,990
gets even stranger as it was leaning on

313
00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:48,820
a tree and had its front left arm

314
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:50,950
gripping the tree it appeared to have

315
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:53,290
claws and it was panting and staring in

316
00:11:56,820 --> 00:11:55,210
our direction with its ears up listening

317
00:11:58,680 --> 00:11:56,830
while kneeling or crouching

318
00:12:00,900 --> 00:11:58,690
I recognized it as a threat as a

319
00:12:03,090 --> 00:12:00,910
predator immediately now this all

320
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:03,100
happened in the span of maybe 10 seconds

321
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:05,410
before I said to my cousin we have to go

322
00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:08,050
he was a faster runner than me when I

323
00:12:12,330 --> 00:12:09,640
said that I was still watching the

324
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:12,340
animal my cousin took off when he ran

325
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:14,590
the animal raised up and ran towards us

326
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:17,110
it took a good three steps on two legs

327
00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:19,930
before I started to run as I was turning

328
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:21,550
to run it appeared have possibly been

329
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:24,250
going to all fours I got to the fork in

330
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:26,230
the trail to find my cousin waiting I

331
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:27,040
yelled

332
00:12:31,980 --> 00:12:29,770
go go go go go and we ran back to the

333
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:31,990
cabin while running out I could hear it

334
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:33,820
crashing through the woods behind me

335
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:35,350
but it didn't follow beyond the tree

336
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:37,510
line at the time I thought it had the

337
00:12:41,610 --> 00:12:39,520
intention to do harm but now that I look

338
00:12:43,470 --> 00:12:41,620
back on it I think it was just being

339
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:43,480
either territorial or it was a bluff

340
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:46,210
charge most animals can easily outrun

341
00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:48,700
humans on foot if it really wanted one

342
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:50,920
of us it would have got us I have tried

343
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:52,990
to explain it away as being a bear a big

344
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:55,270
wolf but what I saw just does not add up

345
00:12:59,040 --> 00:12:58,240
it just wasn't a known animal I'm still

346
00:13:01,200 --> 00:12:59,050
stumped by it

347
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:01,210
I was recently added to a group of

348
00:13:05,370 --> 00:13:03,010
people who have had similar sightings

349
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:05,380
they say mind falls in line with other

350
00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:07,690
sightings they believe it to be a dog

351
00:13:11,550 --> 00:13:09,670
Minh which I think is the cheesiest name

352
00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:11,560
they could have chosen but I admit that

353
00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:13,540
what I saw is very similar if not the

354
00:13:17,850 --> 00:13:15,520
same as what others have claimed to see

355
00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:17,860
I have different theories regarding the

356
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:19,900
creature though I am normally very

357
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:22,750
skeptical however I know that what I saw

358
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:24,850
was not normal and I am less skeptical

359
00:13:29,970 --> 00:13:27,370
than I used to be now I am still nervous

360
00:13:31,980 --> 00:13:29,980
about the forests I don't go into the

361
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:31,990
woods alone they're unarmed anymore I'm

362
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:34,240
not scared of any man but I certainly

363
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:36,070
don't want to see anything that looks

364
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:38,410
like a real wolf again by the way all of

365
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,330
this happened in broad daylight if it

366
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:42,480
wasn't clear T

367
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:49,220
