camper at evans national park

12
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,200
nova scotia before this incident i had

13
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:41,440
never had a paranormal experience in my

14
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,320
life

15
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,800
that being said my boyfriend seems to

16
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,719
have enough for the both of us

17
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,559
we went camping in the early fall of

18
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:51,039
2016 at evans national park

19
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:53,920
nova scotia we had just arrived back

20
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:55,840
from spending this summer in western

21
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,480
canada

22
00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:58,239
and hadn't seen each other in four

23
00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:01,120
months so we decided to spend some time

24
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:02,079
together and go

25
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,680
camping with another couple that were

26
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,280
close friends of ours

27
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,040
we booked the cheapest cabin at the

28
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,600
campground for two nights and headed out

29
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:11,600
the first day we spent there was pretty

30
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:12,799
uneventful

31
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:15,360
to give some context the park is famous

32
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,280
for its sea caves that are carved into

33
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:19,200
the rocky cliffs of the nova scotian

34
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,320
east shore

35
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,240
the first day we hiked the trail that

36
00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:24,240
overlooked the caves or the ovens as

37
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,119
they were called

38
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,200
and we were able to go down into some of

39
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:29,840
them that night we had a campfire

40
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:32,640
but turned in early so we sat inside

41
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,200
this small

42
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:35,759
cabin and started playing cards my

43
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:37,920
boyfriend was being a sore loser

44
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,560
and seemed to be acting kind of strange

45
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,799
he abruptly said he was going for a walk

46
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,240
and left the cabin

47
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:46,399
i was pretty annoyed and just let him go

48
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,479
for a while and didn't chase him

49
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:50,720
after about half an hour i started to

50
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:53,200
get a bit anxious and called his cell

51
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:54,880
this is where things started to get

52
00:02:00,310 --> 00:01:57,680
really weird he didn't answer at first

53
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,320
but he called me back right away when i

54
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:02,560
answered he seemed to calm down a bit

55
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,200
and i asked him where he was he said he

56
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,119
was sitting on a bench on the trail

57
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:09,920
then he asked where i was this confused

58
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:12,160
me a bit because i hadn't left the cabin

59
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,040
since he left

60
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:15,040
and i wasn't likely to since i'm

61
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:16,720
terrified of the dark

62
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,319
i told him this and this suddenly

63
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,800
freaked him out he said he was coming

64
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,239
back to the cabin

65
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,000
it was weird because he's generally

66
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:26,000
pretty level-headed and hard to actually

67
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,040
scare

68
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,120
so after about two to three minutes i

69
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:31,120
hear running footsteps coming to the

70
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,680
cabin

71
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:33,599
and my boyfriend comes tearing through

72
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,560
the door then this is what he told me

73
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,480
he had walked out to the trails to get

74
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:40,800
some fresh air and sat down on one of

75
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,120
the benches to look out at the ocean

76
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,840
the moon was pretty bright that night so

77
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,239
everything was illuminated pretty well

78
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,640
then he said he heard someone walking by

79
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,640
and he saw this really tall and pale

80
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,160
figure stop and look at him

81
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,800
and then continue on for some reason he

82
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:58,720
assumed this was me coming to look for

83
00:03:05,110 --> 00:02:59,120
him

84
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:05,120
he said that in retrospect the figure

85
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:06,879
was inhumanly tall and pale

86
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,599
and couldn't possibly be a person he was

87
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,519
not himself for the rest of the night

88
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:13,360
and didn't seem normal until lunch the

89
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,560
next day

90
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:16,400
do you have any idea about what this

91
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:27,030
pale crawler humanoid encounter in duet

92
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,400
county texas

93
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,040
this encounter took place on january 12

94
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,599
2019 in duet county texas

95
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,920
to be honest i chose to go out on this

96
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,840
particular night because my town was

97
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,680
having a little ghost tour at the local

98
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,959
haunted hospital

99
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:43,200
i was lonely and wanted to at least see

100
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,560
others having fun

101
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,560
it was 8 p.m when i left the house and

102
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,560
planned to be back within an hour

103
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,640
i have a routine of circling my town in

104
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:52,239
the evening because i just like the

105
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:52,799
trolling

106
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:54,560
and there's always things creeping about

107
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,840
after nightfall

108
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:57,920
i made my way to the haunted hospital

109
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,080
and once i got there i saw flashlights

110
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,319
inside the windows and heard laughter

111
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,400
seeing others have fun made me smile and

112
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:06,239
got rid of some of the loneliness i was

113
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,040
feeling

114
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,959
this was the halfway point of my walk

115
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,799
and i started my second half heading

116
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,760
home now

117
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,360
there were some woods on the opposite

118
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:15,040
side of town now but nothing

119
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,720
impressive until i got to the last

120
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,160
quarter of my walk

121
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,400
now i was passing the baseball field on

122
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:22,400
my left with a large wheat field on my

123
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:23,120
right

124
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:24,960
this wheat field used to be a large

125
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:26,160
extension of the woods

126
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:28,400
but was cleared out for growing wheat i

127
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,360
continued again

128
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,040
and crossed a small bridge that went

129
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:32,960
over a creek and passed another section

130
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:33,840
of woods

131
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:35,759
i was now headed towards an old metal

132
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:37,680
building that has recently been turned

133
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,240
into a place for making gates and fences

134
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,199
it was about 9 pm now this building had

135
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:45,360
two small white houses beside it and a

136
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:47,199
stretch of dirt road wrapping around the

137
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:49,040
backside of it before returning to

138
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,639
normal asphalt road

139
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,560
now at night this place seems pretty

140
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,639
scary but this was one of my favorite

141
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:56,160
places to hang out at night

142
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:58,160
and is a normal path i take my walks

143
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,400
through as i was coming up to the dirt

144
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,560
road i saw a very tall eight to ten foot

145
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:04,720
pale figure with lanky arms almost

146
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,840
dragging the ground

147
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:08,000
about 40 feet ahead of me briskly walk

148
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,000
from the white houses to the woods

149
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,560
i stopped walking after a few minutes of

150
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:14,479
standing there i convinced myself to

151
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,160
continue walking forward

152
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,400
i mean i was an adventurous person and

153
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,400
there's no way i was just going to turn

154
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,320
tail and go home when i just saw

155
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:24,720
something so odd and out of place

156
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,280
not even 15 seconds into walking forward

157
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:28,880
this sudden heavy sense of dread

158
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:31,039
overcame me like a giant weight crashing

159
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,639
down on my shoulders

160
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,400
my instincts were telling me something

161
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:36,000
was really really wrong

162
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:38,160
i turned my iphone light on and shined

163
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:39,360
it at the woods

164
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:41,840
nothing i kept walking while keeping my

165
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,360
head on a swivel looking in all

166
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:45,280
directions to keep my surroundings in

167
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:46,000
check

168
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,840
about the fifth or sixth time i looked

169
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,199
at the woods i saw it

170
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,360
a huge bleached white humanoid figure

171
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:52,960
crouched on all fours

172
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:55,120
it was easily still five to six feet

173
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,120
tall even though it was bent over

174
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,840
its black eyes paralyzed me it had a big

175
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:02,240
round bald head and extremely emaciated

176
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:02,720
body

177
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,039
void of all hair with very long almost

178
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,440
dislocated looking arms and legs

179
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,520
its legs were like a flamingo birds at

180
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:11,360
the knee as it bent backwards instead of

181
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,160
forward

182
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:13,840
i took all this in in a matter of

183
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,160
seconds suddenly it reminded me of a

184
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:18,000
praying mantis when it swayed back and

185
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,840
forth while staring as if deciding

186
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:21,520
whether to attack or not

187
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,759
this broke me out of my trance and i ran

188
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,199
as fast as i could

189
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:27,039
i didn't look back until i had ran a

190
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,600
block out of breath and scared as heck i

191
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,440
finally took a glance back

192
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,840
i didn't see anything in sight i didn't

193
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,440
hear it chase me either

194
00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:37,520
maybe it was just stalking those people

195
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:39,199
in those two little white houses

196
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:41,280
and was waiting for me to go away to go

197
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,880
back to its business

198
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,720
maybe it didn't want anything to do with

199
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,800
me but that wasn't the end

200
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,360
i got home took a shower and turned out

201
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,360
the lights before i hopped in bed when

202
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:53,039
suddenly there was something tapping on

203
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,000
my window

204
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,199
tap tap tap three taps and nothing else

205
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:59,039
i laid in my bed that night wondering

206
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:01,039
whether it had followed me home or not

207
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:03,199
a string of bad luck ensued afterwards

208
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,560
the following weeks

209
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,639
i was constantly burning stuff on the

210
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:08,800
stove that was relatively easy to make

211
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:09,440
and i was

212
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,080
excellent cook on top of that my dog

213
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:14,080
started going nuts at night growling and

214
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:15,840
barking at night in the living room and

215
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,720
at the front door

216
00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:18,639
which she has never ever done as she is

217
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:20,479
the quietest sweetest dog you'll ever

218
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,120
meet

219
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,280
and finally i got deathly sick for three

220
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:25,440
weeks straight with no sure sign of what

221
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:26,479
i had gotten

222
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:29,440
103 fever vomiting with blood diarrhea

223
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,240
with blood

224
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:33,120
sneezing coughing sore throat migraines

225
00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:34,160
nerve spasms

226
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,240
stuffy and dry nose it changed

227
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,240
constantly aching all over really

228
00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:39,680
especially in my bones

229
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:42,560
etc i've had smaller strings of bad luck

230
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:43,120
before

231
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,199
after hearing its mimicry trying to lure

232
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:46,960
me into the forest or seeing it one

233
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:47,680
other time

234
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:50,080
but i didn't see any details but nothing

235
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,440
ever this extreme

236
00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:54,000
i don't go into the woods alone anymore

237
00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,189
tall pale skinned humanoid encountered

238
00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:05,199
in willow creek california

239
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,599
i saw a tall pale skin being in my

240
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:09,360
grandparents yard in willow creek

241
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:11,840
california in 1994.

242
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:14,160
i had grandparents dad's father and

243
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,039
stepmother

244
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:16,960
who lived in willow creek until their

245
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:19,840
respective passing in the early 2000s

246
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:22,240
before then my dad sister and i would

247
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:24,160
visit at least once or twice in the

248
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,720
summer

249
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:26,560
and sometimes for a thanksgiving or

250
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,800
christmas we lived in san jose

251
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,319
california at the time

252
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,800
which is an eight-hour drive away we

253
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:34,719
loved going to hike in the surrounding

254
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,120
forests and play in the trinity river

255
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:39,440
we grew up hearing about bigfoot the

256
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:41,599
famous patterson video was shot in the

257
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:42,159
area

258
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,480
and the town is bigfoot tourist heavy

259
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,480
but we were taught to watch out the very

260
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,240
real pumas and bears

261
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,480
i need to explain a bit about how my

262
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,720
grandparents house was laid out for some

263
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,480
aspects of this story

264
00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,640
they had a small two bedroom one

265
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:58,720
bathroom house set at the corner of two

266
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,600
streets

267
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,279
the road into the neighborhood off the

268
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519
main road ran along the backyard

269
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,519
and the house ran along the other road

270
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,880
off of that road

271
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,720
several houses ran each side of the

272
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,240
street and a house sat

273
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:12,959
behind their yard chain link fencing six

274
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,200
feet tall went around their backyard

275
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:17,200
and most neighbors yards instead of

276
00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:18,560
solid wood fencing

277
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:21,120
so you can see into most yards from the

278
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,240
street in their house

279
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,240
it slopes down into the backyard and

280
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:26,480
neighbors yard by roughly 10 feet in

281
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,279
total

282
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:29,760
their backyard was mostly just grass and

283
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:32,080
weeds with a small semi-growing garden

284
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:33,680
near the neighbor's fence line

285
00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,320
and a big tree maybe oak of some kind

286
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,959
next to and partially over the solarium

287
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,560
they had a raised deck running the

288
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:42,240
length of the back of the house with

289
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,399
stairs down into the yard at one end

290
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:46,399
and a solarium off their kitchen at the

291
00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,440
other end

292
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:49,680
inside the house the kitchen and dining

293
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,760
room are immediately next to each other

294
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,760
with the living room and front door next

295
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,160
to it at the back of the living room is

296
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:58,399
a short haul with master bedroom behind

297
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:58,959
the kitchen

298
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:00,880
and along the wall with the deck on one

299
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,120
side and the bathroom and guest room

300
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:05,200
along the wall facing the side street on

301
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:06,480
the other side

302
00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,560
grandparents of course got their master

303
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,959
bedroom dad would take the guest room

304
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,880
and my sister and i would sleep in the

305
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:15,120
living room in winter or in the solarium

306
00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:16,480
if it was summer

307
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,600
this story takes place in mid-august

308
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,160
1994.

309
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,320
one last summer trip before school

310
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,240
started in a couple weeks at the request

311
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:26,240
of my sister for her ninth birthday

312
00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:27,600
earlier that month

313
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,399
i was 11 at the time we left early to

314
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,720
get there before dinner so dad could nap

315
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,000
from the drive a bit

316
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,680
while me and sis went down to the

317
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,680
portion of the trinity river the tran at

318
00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,680
the very back of the neighborhood

319
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:42,399
the afternoon and evening went as usual

320
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:43,120
that night

321
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,279
we went to sleep in the solarium as was

322
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,120
custom for summer trips

323
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:49,920
at some point in the night i woke up no

324
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:50,880
real reason

325
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:53,360
not even to go to the bathroom i just

326
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:55,600
have always done that from time to time

327
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,640
even still i did what i usually do and

328
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:00,480
stared up at the stars and moon

329
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,720
around half visible couldn't tell you if

330
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:04,560
it was waxing or waning

331
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:07,040
all of a sudden i got an intense feeling

332
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:09,120
of dread that skipped fight or flight to

333
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:09,760
straight

334
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,720
freezer you're dead after some time most

335
00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:14,079
likely just a minute

336
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,399
or two i turned my head to the side to

337
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:17,760
look into the yard

338
00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,320
i had to turn to my side and lift myself

339
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:21,839
a bit to get a better look

340
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,600
but the source of my feeling was

341
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,200
impossible to miss

342
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:27,200
standing at the bottom of the yard next

343
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,640
to the neighbor's fence line

344
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,720
stood a tall skinny creature with skin

345
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,240
the color of the moon

346
00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:34,399
it had no hair on its head or anywhere

347
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:35,920
else that i could see

348
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,760
its eyes were shiny white with a

349
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,040
reflective quality

350
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,279
but not bright like a bright light was

351
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,120
shining on them right then

352
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:45,600
just moonlight its face had human

353
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:46,320
features

354
00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:48,880
but seemed squished flatter its arms

355
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,160
seemed really long

356
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:52,079
but that could be just because it was

357
00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:53,200
really tall

358
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:55,279
the chain link fence came up to its

359
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,760
armpits so it had to be around seven to

360
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,200
eight feet tall

361
00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:01,519
not enough to just step over the fencing

362
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:03,440
but i didn't hear it climb over

363
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,360
unless it had been in the yard before i

364
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:07,440
woke up and just didn't get the dread

365
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,040
feeling until later

366
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,360
its body had dirty brown dark gray

367
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,120
looking rags over its chest

368
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:15,920
and around its hips cover its crotch it

369
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,600
was looking right at me

370
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:19,680
i got scared and ducked down into my

371
00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:22,000
sleeping bag as far as i could

372
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:23,760
my sister has always been a heavy

373
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:26,000
sleeper and i didn't want her to wake up

374
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,360
for this anyway

375
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,279
next thing i hear heavy steps on the

376
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,440
deck coming towards the solarium

377
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:33,120
there's a wood door with a screened

378
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,560
window in the top of it

379
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:36,639
not opened at the time as far as i can

380
00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:37,680
remember

381
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:40,079
all was quiet for a while so i peeked

382
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:42,000
out through a small fold of the sleeping

383
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:42,720
bag

384
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:44,480
through one of the bottom windows of the

385
00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,079
solarium next to the door

386
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:48,959
i saw its pale large feet the skin was

387
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,440
rough

388
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:51,200
and the toes were gnarled with dirty

389
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:54,000
nails i curled up trying not to make a

390
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:55,600
sound or move much

391
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:58,320
the bag was getting stuffy next thing i

392
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:00,639
know my dad is gently moving me with his

393
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:03,040
foot asking if i was cold because i was

394
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:05,120
still huddled down into the bag

395
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,839
i looked around kind of disoriented

396
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,760
there was no evidence of that creature

397
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:11,360
from the night before

398
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:14,240
no marks or footprints or bent fencing

399
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:16,480
my dad was a huge skeptic of anything

400
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:17,360
paranormal

401
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:20,000
cryptic and authorworldly but i told him

402
00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:20,959
anyways

403
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,079
he of course blew it off as a dream sis

404
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:26,160
being a deep sleeper didn't notice

405
00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:27,279
anything i

406
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,279
asked my grandparents if they heard or

407
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,040
felt the thumping on the deck which

408
00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:33,360
would have been along their bedroom wall

409
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,560
nope both seemed weirded out by my story

410
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:38,959
and my grandma later privately told me

411
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:41,360
there's lots of strange things up here

412
00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:43,920
that's why we avoid being out at night

413
00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:45,680
she wouldn't elaborate though

414
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:48,079
that's obviously not a classic bigfoot

415
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:49,920
but i don't know what it is

416
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,680
i've wanted to ask someone from the

417
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:53,519
hoopa native americans up there

418
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:55,760
but i haven't yet i've never seen

419
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,440
anything like it since

420
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:59,440
although i have experienced plenty of

421
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:00,639
paranormal things

422
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:04,880
