can a rake humanoid attach its energy to

10
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:36,719
someone in 2012 my then boyfriend lived

11
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:37,680
in sweden

12
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:40,239
i live in canada he came to visit me and

13
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:42,000
during one of the evenings i woke up to

14
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:43,600
something strange perched at the foot of

15
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,399
the bed

16
00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:46,800
it was a pale thin humanoid figure it

17
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:48,079
was completely hairless

18
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,760
and the legs seemed to be bad in some

19
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:51,920
way it seemed to walk on all fours

20
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,440
despite looking human

21
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:55,280
i couldn't see much of its face since it

22
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,800
was looking away from me

23
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:58,320
it looked a lot like the creature from

24
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,399
the fictional story the rake

25
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,640
when i gasped it hopped off the bed and

26
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,000
into the darkness

27
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,840
my partner heard me and woke to ask me

28
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,040
what was wrong

29
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,799
i didn't tell him as to not alarm him

30
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,320
while trying to rest

31
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:12,960
in 2014 he was visiting once more and we

32
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,920
were once again

33
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:16,240
in bed sleeping i woke up to hear my

34
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:17,840
boyfriend screaming like i've never

35
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,960
heard before

36
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:20,640
i immediately turned on the light and

37
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,560
shook him to try and snap him out of it

38
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,720
but he just screamed and then cried

39
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,720
after 30 or so minutes he finally was

40
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,040
calm enough to explain what happened

41
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,200
apparently he woke up to a pale humanoid

42
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:32,960
figure with a gaping mouth and black

43
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,520
sunken eyes basically on top of him as

44
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,200
he screamed the figure slowly backed

45
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:39,119
itself into the closet hole staring at

46
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:39,360
him

47
00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:42,320
crawling on all fours i felt sick i

48
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:44,159
never ever told him about what i saw a

49
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,520
few years prior

50
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:46,960
there's no way he could have known and

51
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,600
described what i saw perfectly like that

52
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:52,079
now it's shown up again my ex messaged

53
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,720
me today

54
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:54,479
we're friends and told me his now

55
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,479
girlfriend has seen the pale man

56
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,240
they were asleep and apparently she woke

57
00:02:00,469 --> 00:02:00,079
up to see this thing stalking around the

58
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,479
room

59
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,640
and it noticed her frozen in fear so it

60
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,159
crawled up next to her

61
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:06,640
my ex woke up and tried to console her

62
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,080
she described what she saw

63
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,239
it apparently was a perfect exact match

64
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,840
to the thing we both saw

65
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,760
i only ever told him what i saw after

66
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,680
his experience and she has never heard

67
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,680
of either of our experiences

68
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,280
is this just a mass coincidence of

69
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:21,120
hallucinating while waking up

70
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:23,440
is it a demon or some sort of haunting

71
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:24,959
i'm really freaked out

72
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:34,390
possible rake encounter in north central

73
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,360
alabama

74
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,200
two of my friends who are a married

75
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:39,280
couple and i were walking on my family

76
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,000
land

77
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,879
it's about 170 acres and heavily wooded

78
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,560
with both pines and hardwoods

79
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,200
and heavily trailed it was dark but my

80
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,800
friends wanted me to take them out

81
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,400
walking on the trails

82
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,640
a couple of neighbors dogs followed us a

83
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,400
coonhound and a great pyrenees

84
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,160
and we walked south then east to my

85
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,480
camping area we were hanging out at my

86
00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,080
camping spot when behind us

87
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,239
further back the trail we had come down

88
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,480
the dogs started acting strange

89
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,319
we were looking back and they came out

90
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:08,000
of the woods to our left and stood on

91
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:08,879
the trail

92
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,959
the great pyrenees started growling real

93
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,879
low and looking defensive

94
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,879
the coonhound is a goofball but he was

95
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:17,280
also acting disturbed about something

96
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,879
they were both looking back down the

97
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:21,280
trail to the west i immediately got

98
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:23,360
quite a strange and serious feeling it

99
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,720
was a bit ominous

100
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,640
i've learned to trust my gut which i

101
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:28,480
recommend to anybody in the woods

102
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,560
or if around a person or animal that you

103
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,640
feel instinctively is threatening

104
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,959
anyway i said to my friends we better

105
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:36,480
get back to the house

106
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,720
to get my point across i sort of grimly

107
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:39,920
added now

108
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:42,080
well we were heading west on the trail

109
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,040
and the dogs

110
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:45,120
if i remember correctly had vacated the

111
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,640
area while walking

112
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,879
i looked back and saw my one friend the

113
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,640
wife looking into the woods off the

114
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,040
trail and staggered back a few steps

115
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:55,200
her husband had walked ahead and i asked

116
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,480
her what was wrong

117
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:58,480
by the way this is the area where the

118
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,879
dogs had previously been growling at

119
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:02,959
she said to me i'll tell you when we get

120
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:04,799
back i don't want to scare him

121
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:07,280
her husband he's kind of easily spooked

122
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,400
hello

123
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,360
so we get back and i asked what she saw

124
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:13,280
she tells us that she felt she needed to

125
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,319
look off the trail

126
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:16,320
into the trees and she saw something

127
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:17,759
halfway behind a tree

128
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,239
looking at her we all had headlamps on

129
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,400
she said it was human-like pale whitish

130
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,479
with an oval kind of shaped head

131
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:26,400
looked like it was crouching with long

132
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:28,880
limbs she kept stressing how skinny it

133
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,199
was

134
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,680
particularly the limbs she said it had a

135
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,360
surprised look on its face

136
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,600
like it didn't expect us to be there

137
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,440
myself and friends relatives used the

138
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,759
trails regularly but not at night

139
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:41,680
she said that the thing was bobbing back

140
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,840
and forth in kind of a creepy way

141
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,840
it moved its head behind the tree and

142
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,680
then swaying its head and shoulders back

143
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:49,199
rhythmically to look at her

144
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:50,560
she said it didn't appear to be

145
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:52,240
aggressive at the moment but looked

146
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:53,040
scary

147
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:55,120
i pulled up the famous trail cam pick of

148
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,720
the rake or whatever it is

149
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:58,720
and she got a shocked look on her face

150
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:00,240
and nodded yes

151
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:02,320
however she made clear that it wasn't

152
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,759
exactly the same

153
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:06,000
the next night i was on the back porch

154
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:08,080
and heard a freaky very shrill scream

155
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,360
come from the woods

156
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,280
i don't know if the two were related but

157
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:13,120
i've lived in the country for most of my

158
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,600
life

159
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,680
and i've never heard anything like it

160
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:17,440
this is one of multiple things that have

161
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,479
happened around here

162
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:20,320
but this is the only one that i know of

163
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:21,840
involving this creature

164
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,270
child-sized rake slowly crawled through

165
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,680
witnesses garden in berkshire england

166
00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:37,680
as a teen i just refused to sleep at

167
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,479
normal hours especially on weekends

168
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,800
why well that's because the house i

169
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:44,400
lived in in the land the house was on

170
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,840
was haunted as crap

171
00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,680
staying up usually meant seeing some

172
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:49,680
freaky activity and growing up in a

173
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,440
small english town in berkshire

174
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,080
well that's as exciting as life got so

175
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,000
one night when i was around 14

176
00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,080
i was staying up staring out my window

177
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,919
when i started seeing blowing blue and

178
00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:01,520
purple lights coming from the forest

179
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:02,560
behind my house

180
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:05,199
we don't have fireflies where i lived i

181
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,160
thought they were cool

182
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:08,160
so i just continued staring at them

183
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:10,319
trying to figure out what they were

184
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:12,560
now the way my house was set up my

185
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:14,639
bedroom window faced the forest and my

186
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,520
back garden

187
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,680
and directly next to my room is a side

188
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:19,520
gate that links to the front part of the

189
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:20,319
house

190
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:22,400
on either side of the gates are motion

191
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,600
sensor lights

192
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,440
so the lights in the forest may not have

193
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,680
been paranormal but what happened next

194
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,360
most definitely was

195
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:30,960
the motion at the front of the gate

196
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:33,199
triggers casting a faint light into my

197
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,000
garden

198
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,479
the night grows really silent no more

199
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:39,120
owls or crickets and just really eerie

200
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:41,120
the lights in the forest seem to ebb and

201
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:42,560
then just die out

202
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,479
i listen carefully as i start to hear

203
00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,319
scuffling on the wood of the gate

204
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:48,639
it's muffled so i slightly crack open my

205
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,960
window to get a better look and listen

206
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:53,039
now that gate is always locked with a

207
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,479
heavy padlock at that

208
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,639
to this day i have asked my dad if he

209
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,639
ever left the gate unlocked that night

210
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,560
and he stands by the fact that unless

211
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,880
he's gardening the gate stays closed

212
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:04,720
this was spring so he might have started

213
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,800
seeding so for my own comfort of mind

214
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,360
i'm gonna assume he left the gate open

215
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:11,680
anyways i hear the gate slowly swing

216
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,400
open

217
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:14,080
the creeks of the wood were so loud

218
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:15,520
against the silent knight

219
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,080
so the sound was very distinctive the

220
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:20,400
motion light right underneath my bedroom

221
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,840
window switches on

222
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,840
honestly to this day i really can't

223
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,520
explain what i saw

224
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,759
it was this off-white veiny kind of skin

225
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:29,759
texture and was about the size of a

226
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,560
child

227
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:32,800
it walked on all fours and looked just

228
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,599
sickly

229
00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:36,000
its hind legs were significantly longer

230
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,199
than its front legs

231
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:39,680
and it looked to have hand claws i hate

232
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:41,919
having to link back to creepypasta but

233
00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:44,000
it honestly looked like the rake

234
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,919
now i've gone through the possibilities

235
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,520
in my head trust me

236
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:49,280
it was too small to be the deer that

237
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,720
frequented our garden

238
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:52,800
also it had no remotely deer like

239
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:55,680
features a badger or fox with a disease

240
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,400
possible however i've never seen badges

241
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:00,639
or foxes with such long limbs and so

242
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:02,000
disproportionate

243
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:04,240
also this thing was completely hairless

244
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,440
and human-like

245
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:07,360
the worst part about it to me was how it

246
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:09,759
slowly and silently moved up my garden

247
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,000
path before disappearing into the woods

248
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:14,080
the noises of the night started back up

249
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:16,080
after that but i was so shook that i

250
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,080
didn't sleep that entire night

251
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,080
i'm from england so i haven't heard of

252
00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,560
any folklore that matches what i saw

253
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:24,479
i know there were occult practices done

254
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,160
in the woods behind my house

255
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,560
but i'm pretty sure it was pagan hence

256
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:30,960
not inherently bad or demonic

257
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:40,320
i don't know what i saw lb

258
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:42,240
rake humanoid encounter in eastern

259
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:43,360
kentucky

260
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,480
i'm not sure that what i saw names in

261
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,640
the details leading up to this encounter

262
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:50,080
aren't very important

263
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:53,120
so i'll just set the scene two 14 year

264
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:55,120
old girls on an isolated eastern

265
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:57,360
kentucky mountaintop a few hours

266
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:00,080
after i flipped the atv injuring my

267
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:01,200
friend's leg

268
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:03,760
i had tried to act quickly but i was too

269
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:06,880
weak to get the atv upright by myself

270
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,880
once the both of us lifted it we

271
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,800
promptly flooded the engine

272
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:13,440
i helped my friend up put it in neutral

273
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,440
and decided to push the atv

274
00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:17,120
down the mountain with my friend

275
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,279
occasionally tapping the brake

276
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,080
suddenly she halts our progress and asks

277
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:23,839
me to jump on the back

278
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,560
in front of us was a monster of a snake

279
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:28,720
it was the fattest angriest hog snake

280
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:29,920
i've ever seen

281
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:32,959
right across our path blocking us

282
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,000
by this time it was almost dusk because

283
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:38,720
the snake was easily the size of my arm

284
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,040
we decided to just stare it down

285
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,920
waiting on it to crawl on finally i

286
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:45,120
could push again

287
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:46,959
though i wasn't thrilled about walking

288
00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:48,640
next to this monster

289
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,959
i didn't have a long way to go and we'd

290
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,720
be able to coast on down

291
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:54,959
or maybe my parents would come searching

292
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:55,839
for us

293
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,000
there was still plenty of light but the

294
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,320
sky was pink from sunset

295
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:02,720
simultaneously our head snapped look

296
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:05,600
behind us i'm not entirely sure why we

297
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:06,640
even looked

298
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:10,000
there wasn't a sound no twig snap it had

299
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,680
to be something instinctual

300
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:13,360
because we both looked back at the

301
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:15,920
tree-lined path we'd slowly come through

302
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:19,040
every hair that i own raised my blood

303
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:20,800
ran cold in an instant

304
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:23,360
i spared one quick glance at my friend

305
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:26,000
mostly because i hadn't seen it yet

306
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,360
she had she was completely frozen and i

307
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:31,440
followed her gaze to about 15 feet

308
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:32,560
behind me

309
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:35,440
there sat this creature hunched over

310
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:36,160
boneless

311
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:39,440
yet with some humanoid form it was skin

312
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,560
pale white skin at first i thought that

313
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:44,000
was all that it was

314
00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:46,640
then barely a second after that panicked

315
00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:47,680
observation

316
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:51,120
i noticed its face its eyes they were so

317
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,079
deeply set

318
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:54,480
that i at first terrified plants i

319
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:56,320
thought that they were only empty black

320
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,200
pits

321
00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,600
the setting sun struck them just enough

322
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:01,680
that i could see the refraction

323
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,120
its nose was flat this hunched naked

324
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,200
pale creature was studying me just the

325
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,360
same its lips were pale

326
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:12,000
pink and trembling a horrifying thought

327
00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:12,959
informed me

328
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:14,959
that this gaunt creature was famished or

329
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,000
starving

330
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:18,240
as if it hurt my inner dialogue it

331
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:19,760
raised its skin wrapped

332
00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:22,720
skeletal hand to silence me then it

333
00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:25,360
waved its claws one finger at a time

334
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:27,920
then the sweetest sound that i'd ever

335
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:28,480
heard

336
00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,360
the atv started my friend must have

337
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:33,839
turned away long enough to try it

338
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:37,040
so i risked it as well i leaped onto the

339
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:38,640
back of the atv

340
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:41,040
sobbing and wrapped my arms around my

341
00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:42,640
body so tightly

342
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:45,440
when i glanced back it was gone halfway

343
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:46,480
down the mountain

344
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:49,120
we ran into my parents it was pitch

345
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:50,720
black by that time

346
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,959
we survived and talked about it later at

347
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,160
the hospital

348
00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:56,480
turns out she didn't even know how to

349
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,240
start the atv

350
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,720
it wasn't her it's been a few years

351
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:02,160
since this happened

352
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:04,800
i haven't been back on the mountain i'm

353
00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,200
still

354
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:07,120
friends with her and we've talked about

355
00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:08,560
it a few times

356
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:11,200
we've theorized various possibilities as

357
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:12,480
to what it could have been

358
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:15,200
but we can't agree i've tried to find

359
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:16,480
similar encounters

360
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,360
even in mythology i'm sure that i've not

361
00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:20,959
explained it very well

362
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,760
but i did try my best do you have any

363
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,440
ideas about what it is

364
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:28,000
did it want to hurt or help us out we

365
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:28,959
both saw it

366
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:39,750
this is lon strickler if you like this

program

368
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,399
it would help us if you would give it a

00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:43,760
