00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,400 my friend was no exception he was a firm 39 00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,479 believer of the ways of the old 40 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:42,240 this made his encounter even

00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,040 gas station 45 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,680 the customer paid for his gas a pack of 46 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:53,040 smokes and some soda 47 00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:56,240 and returned to his car nothing unusual 48 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:58,159 but as my friend looked out the window 49 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,680 toward the customer's car 50 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:01,920 he spotted what looked like a huge dog 51 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,000 sitting by the edge of the woods 52 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:06,479 now the window is located on the side of 53 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:07,360 the building 54 00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:09,440 some distance from the sliding door 55 00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:11,039 overlooking the pumps in the roof 56 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,080 covering it 57 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:14,000 on the sides of the roof are strong 58 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:16,080 halogen lights which shine into the gas 59 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:17,040 station 60 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:21,360 eerie lighting with the blinds casting 61 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,400 long strike 62 00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:24,959 shadows but also blinds the teller to an 63 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,920 extent 64 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,920 as he peered through the window trying 65 00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:29,360 to focus on the dog 66 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:32,239 it was gone he didn't think much of it 67 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:33,680 even if it was a wolf 68 00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,560 he was inside wolves were common here 69 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,400 but this wolf was huge 70 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:40,160 he brushed it off and returned to 71 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:41,760 watching the tv 72 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,400 a couple of hours go by and not a single 73 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:47,040 customer has entered since the last one 74 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,720 he was just about to refill some 75 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,720 condiments when he heard a large thud 76 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,239 coming from the back 77 00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,959 it wasn't inside he could hear that but 78 00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:56,160 it came from the back 79 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:58,000 and behind the building where they keep 80 00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200 the garbage 81 00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:01,280 the gas station had been visited before 82 00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:02,879 by scavenging homeless 83 00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:05,440 but my friend didn't really care it 84 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:06,640 wasn't his garbage 85 00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:09,680 and it was just garbage let them take it 86 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,319 but it kept getting noisier he decided 87 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:14,480 to grab a flashlight and a gun from the 88 00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,120 office 89 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,879 and circle around the back to tell 90 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,640 whoever ventured there to leave 91 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,200 as he had had enough his presence alone 92 00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,040 would have scared off anyone but he 93 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,599 wanted to feel safe just in case 94 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:27,680 he exited through the sliding doors 95 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:29,680 walking past the window he was just 96 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,879 sitting by 97 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,959 as he turned the corner he shines the 98 00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,640 light toward the dumpsters 99 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,959 as the cone of light hits the dumpsters 100 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:39,280 my friend instantly drops the flashlight 101 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:40,319 in the gun 102 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:43,120 it's the huge dog he saw before scouring 103 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,319 through the garbage 104 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,959 it wasn't a dog though it clearly stood 105 00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,239 on its hind legs 106 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,640 reaching the same height as himself it 107 00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,040 couldn't be a bear as it was too gaunt 108 00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,799 the creature's eyes had been glowing in 109 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,159 the light of the flashlight 110 00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,879 making it even more terrifying he ran 111 00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:00,400 inside the gas station 112 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,560 and he wasn't followed he locked the 113 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,879 door stayed inside the whole night and 114 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,319 quit the next day 115 00:04:10,630 -->

00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,680 at her like a cop sizes up a perp 200 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:39,360 the girl had zero track marks or 201 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,039 anything no bruises either 202

00:06:59,759 this was in summer in the arizona desert 211 00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,199 so there should have been no need for 212 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:03,360 that cat's mom slammed the door 213 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:05,039 which had one of those diamond windows 214 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,800 on it that trailers have and she could 215 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:08,639 see the woman violently spasming through 216 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,680 the glass 217 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:11,680 she looked away for seconds just to lock 218 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:12,800 and deadbolt the door 219 00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:14,560 and when she looked back the woman was 220 00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,720 gone cat's mom said her first thought 221 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:17,919 was to go to the kids 222 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,919 so she did they were in their room when 223 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,440 the baby was crying 224 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:23,440 cat and her older brother were scared 225 00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,960 they hadn't seen the woman but heard 226 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,479 their mom talking to someone 227 00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:28,240 and could tell that their mom was scared 228 00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:30,319 too so she decided to stay in the 229 00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,520 bedroom with them 230 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,280 apparently this was the safe part of the 231 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:35,280 trailer since they blessed it with cedar 232 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:36,160 smoke often 233 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,599 for the kids and there were eagle 234 00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:39,039 feathers hanging up on the walls and 235 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,160 doorways 236 00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:42,080 so she laid there and watched movies 237 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:44,080 with the kids and eventually they fell 238 00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:44,879 asleep 239 00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,639 cat's mom said she heard some things 240 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:48,000 moving around outside 241 00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:49,840 but this is the desert on the res so 242 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,520 that's kind of an every night thing and 243 00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:53,120 something she's used to 244 00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,800 apparently she was more afraid to go 245 00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:56,479 into the kitchen and couldn't shake the 246 00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:57,680 feeling of why 247 00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:59,840 she just had this feeling of dread this 248 00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:01,680 was before the days of cell phones 249 00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:03,360 so she had no way of getting in touch 250 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:05,599 with anyone a few hours passed and 251 00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,720 things had been quiet 252 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,800 but she couldn't sleep so she decided to 253 00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:10,080 call her husband 254 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:11,759 the phone was in the living room which 255 00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:13,120 meant she would have to go near the 256 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,599 kitchen 257 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,680 but not into it she snuck out of the 258 00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:17,360 kid's room and grabbed the phone 259 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,879 called the station and they got 260 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:20,720 confirmation that her husband was okay 261 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:22,000 and out on patrol 262 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,680 they asked if she would like an officer 263 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:25,360 sent to her area to make sure things 264 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,080 were okay 265 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,319 and cat's mom agreed she went back to 266 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:30,000 the bedroom to wait for the knock on the 267 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,639 door 268 00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:32,560 she was a good half hour from anywhere 269 00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:33,680 driving distance 270 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,919 but pretty soon the officer came he was 271 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,279 a co-worker of her husband's 272 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:38,959 so they knew each other and he was 273 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,880 obviously navajo as well 274 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,640 cat's mom said that he seemed nervous 275 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:44,959 and jumpy while standing on her porch 276 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,560 he took a statement from her of what had 277 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:48,480 happened but he said he'd see no one on 278 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:49,120 the roads 279 00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,560 definitely nobody fitting that 280 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,640 description they set up a patrol to 281 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:54,399 search the area for the night just in 282 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:54,880 case 283 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,480 and they discussed maybe burning some 284 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,720 sage or cedar since the air seemed bad 285 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,000 in a creepy off-way 286 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,160 not a smelly way she thanked him and 287 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,600 went into the kitchen 288 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:05,040 seeing the officer and having a 289 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:06,959 conversation had calmed her down enough 290 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,240 that she didn't feel the need to 291 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:10,240 barricade in the bedroom anymore 292 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:12,160 so she went over to the kitchen burning 293 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,920 cedar and sage is usually done on the 294 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:15,600 stovetop and it was then that she 295 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,720 noticed the counter 296 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,240 and kat said her mother was the most 297 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,399 terrified she'd ever been in her life 298 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:23,040 the bread bologna and cheese were gone 299 00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:24,000 completely gone 300 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,519 though they'd been there hours earlier 301 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,440 and she for a fact had not moved them 302 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:29,279 and had also for a fact i'd bolted the 303 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:30,080 door 304 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,839 cat's mom's theory is that the woman had 305 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,279 come back into the trailer while 306 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,800 everyone was in the bedroom and had 307 00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:36,720 taken the food and that's why she 308 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,880 the mom had instinctively been afraid to 309 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,399 come back in that area 310 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,240 as far as i know that's the one incident 311 00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:44,160 where something got into their home 312 00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:53,750 alex 313 00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:56,150 unknown humanoid skinwalker runs 314 00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:58,320 parallel to vehicle at high speed 315 00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:00,800 about 15 years ago i heard about a weird 316 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:02,240 account from a friend 317 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,320 this was in a small town in oklahoma 318 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:06,959 with a decent sized native population 319 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:09,760 anyway this guy is actually mexican 320 00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:12,000 nicest dude you would ever want to meet 321 00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:15,360 was about 35 at the time had a family 322 00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,200 honest good-natured guy that i could 323 00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:19,040 never see making something up for no 324 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,839 reason 325 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,440 it was late one night and we were 326 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,200 talking about an abandoned building at 327 00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:25,360 the campus of a small community college 328 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:27,040 that used to be housing 329 00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,600 supposedly it was haunted a friend and i 330 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,680 wanted to sneak in and check it out 331 00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:33,680 he advised us not to and mentioned that 332 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:35,839 he once lived in an apartment on campus 333 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,160 there 334 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,560 and some strange stuff happened stuff 335 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,560 like hearing footsteps upstairs in a 336 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:42,480 different apartment and a fridge opening 337 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,440 and closing 338 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:45,360 then someone mentioned the upstairs was 339 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:47,680 empty he figured someone was squatting 340 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:48,240 there 341 00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:50,640 so at around 1am he heard it and grabbed 342 00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:51,360 a bed 343 00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:53,360 there was a staircase that led up there 344 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,279 so no way someone could have gotten out 345 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,040 by the time he started up 346 00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,959 he opened the door but there was nothing 347 00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:00,959 other than an old non-working fridge on 348 00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,160 the opposite end 349 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,079 he didn't stay long after his doors 350 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,240 began to open and shut on their own 351 00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,000 but he claimed that wasn't nearly as 352 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:10,720 freaky as the last time he was in mexico 353 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:12,720 he was driving back to the us after 354 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:14,000 visiting family 355 00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:15,839 his wife was in the passenger seat 356 00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,480 asleep he wasn't too far from the border 357 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:20,640 so he decided to keep driving a little 358 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,519 after midnight 359 00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:23,279 instead of stopping somewhere for the 360 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:26,079 night it was sort of a desert type road 361 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,959 he says he was going about 65 miles per 362 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:30,720 hour when he noticed something in his 363 00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:32,480 peripheral vision in the darkness out 364 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:34,000 the passenger window 365 00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:35,600 something was out there and it was 366 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:38,000 keeping up with him obviously this shook 367 00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:38,720 him up 368 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:42,000 he hit the gas 70 75 80 369 00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:45,680 85 it was still keeping up at this point 370 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:47,600 it was almost too absurd that he thought 371 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:49,519 it was just his tiredness playing tricks 372 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:50,720 on his eyes 373 00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:53,200 until it changed directions instead of 374 00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:54,880 moving parallel with his car 375 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,040 it began to angle back toward the road 376 00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,279 in a manner to intercept the vehicle 377 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,519 as it got closer more light hitted and 378 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:03,360 he said a no on certain terms 379 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,360 it looked like a human it was still 380 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:07,200 slightly shadowed from the darkness 381 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,040 but he was certain it was a humanoid 382 00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:12,000 form he accelerated to 90 miles per hour 383 00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:13,440 and a few seconds later 384 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,519 it angled back into the darkness and was 385 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,680 gone as he finished the story 386 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,760 i could tell his eyes were welled up and 387 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,279 his hands were trembling 388 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,839 and this was a tough no bs dude it 389 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:25,680 physically struck him to the core just 390 00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:26,720 to recall it 391 00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:28,880 not surprisingly he said he is never 392 00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:30,560 going back to mexico 393 00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,639 this is very similar to skinwalker 394 00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:34,399 accounts i have heard from friends and 395 00:12:41,990 -->
