monjo lookout near ruidoso new mexico

11
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,079
two of my friends and i used to be

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,160
stationed at fort bliss in el paso texas

13
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:41,840
and we decided a memorial day camping

14
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,280
weekend would be a good idea

15
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:45,120
so we took a trip up to [\h__\h] peak

16
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,559
outside of rudoso

17
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,399
we planned to stay for three nights the

18
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,480
first two of which were very relaxing

19
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:52,239
on our first day there when were we're

20
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,920
deciding where to set up our tent we

21
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:55,520
found loads of bones from various

22
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:56,079
animals

23
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,520
not mounded up or anything like they

24
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:59,520
were collected just bones all around the

25
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:00,399
campsite

26
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,879
tents over about 300 square meters

27
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:06,479
we decided to pitch our tents on the

28
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:08,080
highest point at the campsite

29
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,159
about 30 to 40 feet higher elevation

30
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:11,360
than the parking lot

31
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,200
on the third night it was well after

32
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:14,960
sunset when all noise from the woods

33
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,759
died out

34
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,520
i'm not sure how long it was silent

35
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:19,360
before me and my friends broached the

36
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,080
subject

37
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,080
but it wasn't long after that the hair

38
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,000
on the back of my neck started to stand

39
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:26,240
followed by goosebumps all over i could

40
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:28,080
see my friends starting to get jittery

41
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:29,680
and from one of the other campsites we

42
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,560
heard their two dogs going absolutely

43
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,960
ape-sh-i-t

44
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,960
these were very relaxed and happy dogs

45
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:36,479
for the last two days

46
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:38,400
we had also made decent acquaintances

47
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,840
with the couple who had the dogs and

48
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,840
they had lunch with us on day two

49
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,600
the other two groups that were camping

50
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,240
at the same time had gone silent as well

51
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,240
the car was about 60 meters from our

52
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:50,399
campsite and we unanimously decided to

53
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:51,680
go get our guns

54
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,439
on our way back we started to smell a

55
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,040
rotting fetid stench

56
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,119
i don't know if anyone has ever had to

57
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:59,119
burn feces before but it smelled like

58
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,399
that mixed with death

59
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,240
it was cloying and felt like it was

60
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,320
almost physical it was so strong

61
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,560
we got back to our campsite and decided

62
00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,319
to post guard all through the night

63
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,399
one man up and two asleep or at least

64
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:12,480
resting i volunteered for the first

65
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:12,879
shift

66
00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,800
because i knew i wasn't getting any rest

67
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:16,959
at all we had plenty of firewood for the

68
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:17,360
night

69
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:19,040
especially because we were leaving the

70
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:21,360
next morning i kept the fire blazing as

71
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,319
much as i could

72
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,160
because i figured that if it was some

73
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,599
sort of animal it wouldn't be too

74
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,280
interested in messing with me

75
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:29,280
i kept my back to the fire so i could

76
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,879
maintain good night vision

77
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,480
the forest to the southwest of our

78
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:34,560
campsite was pretty burnt out but what

79
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:36,640
you can't see very well is the elevation

80
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:37,360
change

81
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,040
once you got into the tree line it was

82
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,519
very steep not impassable by any means

83
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:43,280
but not somewhere you need to be walking

84
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:45,360
at night behind the trees i notice a

85
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,640
stark white shape

86
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,640
i shouldered my rifle and it didn't move

87
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,959
at all i assumed it was a tree partially

88
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,800
hidden tree behind another one

89
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:54,560
i started scanning the tree line with a

90
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,640
flashlight because i felt the stench was

91
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,159
stronger than it was before

92
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:00,080
as my beam passed over what i thought

93
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,760
was the obscured tree i saw i

94
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,599
shine from the white shape as soon as i

95
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,959
registered what i was seeing it

96
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,560
disappeared behind the tree

97
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,879
i debated investigating but instead just

98
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,000
roused my friends

99
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:12,080
and we scanned together when my shift

100
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,319
ended i took off my rain fly on my tent

101
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,080
so i could see out if needed

102
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:18,159
i didn't see anything on my next shift

103
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:19,280
just the smell

104
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:21,200
in the morning just before dawn broke

105
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,560
the smell seemed to recede

106
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,720
but only so much almost like it left a

107
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:26,239
scent as a warning was the impression

108
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:27,120
that i got

109
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:29,280
we broke camp and started packing up

110
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,959
about halfway through our breakdown we

111
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:32,720
saw the other three groups packing up as

112
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,360
well

113
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,879
i went over and talked to the couple

114
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:36,799
with the dogs asking them if they saw

115
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:38,799
anything last night or if their dogs

116
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,360
calmed down

117
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,599
after the barking stopped they told me

118
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:43,200
that even when they stopped barking the

119
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:44,480
dogs didn't sleep

120
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:45,840
they spent the night whining and

121
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:47,440
growling in the direction of the hill to

122
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:48,640
the southwest

123
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,030
bigfooter skinwalker stalks forest

124
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:59,040
ranger after being shot near suny pueblo

125
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,000
new mexico

126
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,760
this happened to my dad's family when he

127
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:03,920
was a kid i'm not too sure how old he

128
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,760
was or the exact date this happened

129
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,280
but what i know is that it was a night

130
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,599
in the full sometime in the early 80s

131
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,200
my dad and his parents were on their way

132
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,360
to gallup new mexico to see a movie

133
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,360
they're located in sunny new mexico and

134
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:17,519
the drive to gallup is 32 miles heading

135
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:18,079
north

136
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:19,840
my grandpa was a forest ranger at the

137
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,000
time and worked in the zuni mountains

138
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:23,919
he was using his ranger truck to get to

139
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,240
town now i will tell this incense mainly

140
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,479
from my dad's perspective he's the only

141
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,560
person that's ever explained this to me

142
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:32,560
my grandma is early bothered so much she

143
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:34,080
doesn't like talking about it

144
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,600
my grandpa is dissociative with the

145
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:37,520
family so i've never had the chance to

146
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,160
ask

147
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:40,160
anyways they're about halfway to town

148
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:42,240
it's dark out large ponderosa trees

149
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,840
cover both sides of the road

150
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:45,440
in the midst of driving my grandpa

151
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,880
stomped on his bricks

152
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,639
my grandma is sitting passenger and my

153
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,919
dad in the back seat

154
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:52,080
at this moment my dad is confused he's

155
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:54,160
facing towards the back window passenger

156
00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,720
side

157
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,479
he sees my grandpa quickly reach over

158
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:58,240
the back seat to grab his rifle off a

159
00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:59,040
gun rack

160
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:00,800
heard him open his door and fire one

161
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:03,199
shot my grandpa headed and it screamed

162
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,960
my dad now looks over the seat to see it

163
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,320
running to the right of the road

164
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,160
east and it takes one large step over

165
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:09,840
cattle guard and disappears into the

166
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:10,400
woods

167
00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:12,080
they drove away and proceeded to watch

168
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:13,919
the movie without discussing anything

169
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,039
about what happened

170
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,199
now my dad says according to grandma and

171
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:19,039
grandpa that the bigfoot was hairy but

172
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,320
not like you'd expect

173
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:22,320
this hair was fringed and bolting they

174
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:23,919
said it had pale blue skin and looked

175
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,639
fatigued

176
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:26,479
when my grandpa shot it it dropped its

177
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,160
jaw for a couple of seconds

178
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:30,080
its jaw-dropping looker test like it

179
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:31,520
couldn't have possibly made its mouth

180
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,400
any whiter

181
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:34,479
then came the screen the scream is the

182
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:35,600
eerie sport

183
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,440
they all set they'll never forget it it

184
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,440
was loud gross and had meaning

185
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:41,199
after screaming at lunch to his left

186
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:43,120
east took a step over the cable guard

187
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,560
and ran into the forest

188
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:46,080
the jaw-dropping is what makes my

189
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,600
grandma not talk about it

190
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:49,600
she says it's the scariest most ugliest

191
00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,880
thing to have witnessed

192
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:52,880
now after they got back home it started

193
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,639
haunting following my grandpa

194
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,639
that night my grandpa got no sleep my

195
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:58,400
grandma didn't either and that's how she

196
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:59,039
knows

197
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,880
she pretended to be asleep but the both

198
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:02,400
of them heard things around their house

199
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,199
that night

200
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,960
movement noise against a waltzed

201
00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:06,639
overwhelming feeling like something is

202
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:07,759
out there in the dark

203
00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,440
my grandpa continued his work as a

204
00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:11,199
ranger but soon quit due to constant

205
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,479
run-ins with this thing

206
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,400
when he was out in the forest he knew it

207
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:16,319
was watching he could smell it hear

208
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,840
screams here knocking

209
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,600
it made disturbances in the road just

210
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:21,600
for him it would toss branches in the

211
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,600
road to and from destinations like it

212
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:25,680
knew his schedule or where he had to be

213
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:27,520
it scared my grandpa so much she hasn't

214
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:29,520
gone back since and since then it hasn't

215
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,400
bothered him

216
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,240
all while this was happening my grandpa

217
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:34,479
experienced one wild ride as a ranger

218
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,039
i believe he's seen ufos strange murders

219
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:38,720
and very odd occurrences all in that

220
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,120
forest people acting too jolly rituals

221
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:43,039
lost people he's written down all

222
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:44,240
everything that's happened

223
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:46,080
it's in a binder at his house but i

224
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,280
really want to read it

225
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,360
my dad has and says it's nuts but my

226
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:51,440
gramps now has cancer and is a shut-in

227
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:52,080
from it

228
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:54,000
hopefully i get to see him soon or i get

229
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,440
my hands on that book

230
00:07:00,830 --> 00:06:57,919
zuni is truly a place of mysteries weird

231
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:00,840
stuff goes down there all the time

232
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:08,790
tall screaming humanoids encountered in

233
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:11,039
lincoln national forest new mexico

234
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:13,759
i am from roswell new mexico born and

235
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,560
raised

236
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:17,039
i grew up dealing with bs alien nonsense

237
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,400
my entire life

238
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,560
i am a very logical thinker and have had

239
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,400
many strange things happen to me in the

240
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:24,240
past but i've always dealt with them in

241
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:25,919
a this can logically be explained

242
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,639
mindset

243
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,039
since i can remember but what i am about

244
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:30,639
to write about is something i cannot

245
00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:31,280
explain

246
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:33,199
and it also something i am hesitant to

247
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:34,800
even think about anymore

248
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:37,520
i was camping with my cousin cam 17 at

249
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:38,240
the time

250
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:40,319
same age as i was his little brother

251
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,639
nick 13 and my aunt and uncle

252
00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:44,960
we were near cloudcroft new mexico up in

253
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:45,759
the mountains

254
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,080
lincoln national forest my uncle had

255
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,240
just bought a new camper and we decided

256
00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:52,400
to go camping with it for the weekend

257
00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:54,319
the weather was beautiful and me and my

258
00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:56,160
cousins decided to bring a tent

259
00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:58,160
to sleep in instead of the camper so we

260
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,440
could be in peace

261
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,759
we set up our tent about 60 yards away

262
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,199
from the camper and the fire

263
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,360
that was right outside of it towards the

264
00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:07,360
end of the first night and after a long

265
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:08,479
day of exploring

266
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,879
we all decided to lay down for the night

267
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:12,560
we were not camping on an actual

268
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,440
campsite

269
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,360
it was a spot my uncle had found some

270
00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:17,440
years back and it was the perfect spot

271
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:18,639
to set up camp

272
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:21,280
at about 3 a.m the fire was completely

273
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:21,919
out

274
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,560
my cousins and i were still awake nick

275
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:25,520
being the youngest

276
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,680
was trying to stay up to be cool with us

277
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:29,520
but ended up falling asleep

278
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:32,080
it was only cam and i awake now we were

279
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,680
just shooting the sh t

280
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,599
talking about hot chicks from school

281
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,039
brilliant ideas for things

282
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,120
that need to be invented and eventually

283
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:41,519
slowly started to fall asleep too

284
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:43,039
all of the sudden we heard a blood

285
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,720
curdling scream from the distance

286
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:46,399
probably the same distance away the

287
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:48,080
camper was only in the opposite

288
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,040
direction

289
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:51,040
me and cam both picked our heads up off

290
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:52,560
the pillow and said almost

291
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:53,600
simultaneously

292
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:56,080
what the f was that it wasn't a bear it

293
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:57,360
wasn't a fox

294
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:00,000
it was big the closest way i know how to

295
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,600
describe it is a mixture between a

296
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519
banshee and a rabid peacock

297
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:05,519
its voice was deep and echoed through

298
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,560
the deep woods

299
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,720
it let out another blood curdling shriek

300
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:10,800
and we both sat upright on our blow up

301
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:11,680
mattress

302
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,839
immediately after the screech it started

303
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,279
clicking an odd

304
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:17,279
deep clicking sound coming from the back

305
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,399
of its throat

306
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:20,000
it was loud enough to hear from the

307
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,080
distance too we were scared

308
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,839
and neither of us had any idea of what

309
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,920
it could be we waited a second

310
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,320
both quiet as a mouse it let out another

311
00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:30,399
scream followed by a series of clicks

312
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,399
but it seemed to be closer now

313
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:35,040
maybe ten yards closer i looked at cam

314
00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:36,720
and he looked just as shocked as i was

315
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,519
feeling

316
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:39,519
i was trying to convince myself it was a

317
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,760
bird of some sort or a mountain cat

318
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,920
then i heard it walking it was walking

319
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,800
on two feet

320
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:47,040
and i could distinctly hear it it even

321
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:47,920
sounded big

322
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:50,160
taking huge strides cracking branches

323
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,320
and leaves under its feet as it walked

324
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,320
it sounded like it was coming close to

325
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,640
us it screeched clicked loudly again

326
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,640
i could tell it was about halfway to us

327
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:00,080
now suddenly

328
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:01,680
another scream and clicks came from

329
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,000
another direction sounding just as close

330
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,160
as the other creature it sounded more

331
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:08,480
aggressive more angry and dominant

332
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,560
the first creature then let off a series

333
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:11,760
of clicks too

334
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:14,160
then it hit me they were communicating

335
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:15,040
at this point

336
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:18,000
i was terrified and so was cam i had an

337
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:19,600
axe under my blow up mattress

338
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,920
but i was afraid to get up and grab it

339
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,760
then both of the creatures started

340
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,200
walking towards us

341
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,600
both on two legs not screaming or

342
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,519
clicking but it sounded like they were

343
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,360
trying sneak up on our tent

344
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,680
they were getting closer and closer the

345
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,600
first one screamed loudly

346
00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:37,680
i could tell it was roughly 15 yards

347
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:40,160
away now and so was the other creature

348
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:41,839
after screaming it started clicking

349
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:44,000
again and the other one clicked back at

350
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,480
it

351
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:46,560
they were both walking closer and closer

352
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,519
to the tent

353
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,519
i could hear them both stepping on limbs

354
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:51,360
and leaves but i could feel the ground

355
00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:53,200
thud with each step they took

356
00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,279
i was panicking frantically looking for

357
00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:57,279
my axe while cam was frantically trying

358
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,120
to wake up his little brother

359
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,360
i couldn't find my axe anywhere i

360
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,440
realized i had left it near the campfire

361
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,279
because we were using it to cut pieces

362
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,800
of wood for the fire

363
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:08,560
nick was not waking up and they were

364
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:10,959
getting closer and closer to the tent

365
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,680
eventually cam and i froze the second

366
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:15,600
one had stopped about 10 feet away from

367
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,240
the tent

368
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:18,079
but the first one was walking right up

369
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,240
to the tent as soon as it was right

370
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:22,399
outside the tent i yelled as loud as i

371
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,800
could

372
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,880
out of pure fear get the f away from

373
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:26,480
here leave us alone

374
00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:29,279
that stopped it was right outside i

375
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,279
could almost see it through the tent

376
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,680
it was huge tall enough to lean over and

377
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:35,200
look through the top of the tent if it

378
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,240
wanted to

379
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,399
i could tell it was slim humanoid and

380
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:40,480
heavy i could feel its energy

381
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,800
and it was very negative i felt the

382
00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:44,399
vibes of the universe and they were

383
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:45,920
telling me that whatever these things

384
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:46,320
were

385
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:49,600
steal our hot dogs

386
00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,399
i was frozen they were right outside and

387
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,079
the moon was covered by clouds

388
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:56,079
so moonlight was no longer shining

389
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:58,000
anywhere i couldn't even hear it

390
00:12:01,190 --> 00:11:58,800
breathing

391
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:01,200
it was silent the second one clicked

392
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,079
from behind us

393
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,639
still 10 feet away or so from the tent

394
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,320
the first was didn't move

395
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,480
it didn't make a single sound and it was

396
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,480
probably a foot away from the tent

397
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:12,240
my heart was beating so hard that i

398
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,160
thought i was going to pass out

399
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,320
all of the sudden it took two huge steps

400
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:18,320
back and the second one let out a scream

401
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,079
so loud it hurt my ears

402
00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,399
i immediately burst into tears the

403
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:24,399
second creature took off into the woods

404
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,920
pounding the ground underneath it

405
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:27,440
running on two legs

406
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:29,440
the first one apparently turned around

407
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:31,200
and walked away back into the deep's

408
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,920
woods

409
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:33,680
i waited until i completely heard its

410
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:35,680
footsteps disappear until i unzipped the

411
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,320
tent

412
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:38,079
i threw a little nick over my shoulder

413
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,000
and we booked it towards the camper

414
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,160
we got inside and woke up my aunt and

415
00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:44,959
uncle they had no idea what was going on

416
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,519
and urged us to take our asses to bed we

417
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,519
slept in the camper the next two nights

418
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:51,200
and i didn't leave the campsite for the

419
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:53,360
rest of the trip i don't know what we

420
00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:55,360
encountered that night but all i know is

421
00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:56,959
that it was not an animal

422
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:59,120
it was not human not a bear or a

423
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,560
four-legged animal

424
00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:02,399
it has scarred me ever since and its

425
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:04,079
energy and screams still haunt me to

426
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:04,959
this day

427
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:07,760
i give you my word this was very real i

428
00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:09,519
didn't find any proof to back up

429
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,240
our story however one thing i did find

430
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,920
really strange was the fact that there

431
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,600
was a huge rock at the end of a trail

432
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:17,519
near our campsite that was absolutely

433
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:18,720
covered in moss

434
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:20,480
the last day we were there all of the

435
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,160
moss on the rock was gone

436
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,240
i couldn't even recognize the rock until

437
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:26,160
little nick said something about it

438
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:27,760
the rock looked like it had been licked

439
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:30,240
clean not literally but there wasn't any

440
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:32,160
sign that moss was ever growing on it in

441
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,360
the first place

442
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,600
just a two days prior the moss on it was

443
00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:37,200
so thick that it felt like a couch

444
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:38,079
cushion

445
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,949
bertillon alien encountered during visit

446
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:48,959
to mount capulen new mexico

447
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,079
in august 1959 my parents and i were

448
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:54,240
traveling to colorado springs colorado

449
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:55,440
on a vacation

450
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,600
for some unknown reason dad decided that

451
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,839
we would stop and visit mount capulin

452
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:01,680
an extinct volcano in the northeast

453
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,279
corner of new mexico

454
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:05,279
mom stayed in the tourist center while

455
00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:06,720
dad and i climbed up the side of the

456
00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,519
volcano

457
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:09,360
and down into the crater then we

458
00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:10,880
returned to the center

459
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,399
as i was walking through the tourist

460
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,199
center i felt myself stop in mid-step

461
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,040
i felt my consciousness lift out of my

462
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,440
body and drop straight through the floor

463
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:22,320
how deep i cannot imagine my drop ended

464
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,360
in an arch tunnel deep

465
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,040
underground the tunnel was lighted with

466
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:27,279
orange lights standing in front of me

467
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,480
was a smallish being

468
00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:30,480
or entity that i now know to identify as

469
00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:31,519
a reptilian

470
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:33,199
i would estimate its height at somewhere

471
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,720
around four feet tall

472
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:36,320
it was wearing a gray color robe with

473
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:38,000
long sleeves and a hood

474
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:39,680
the most i could see of its face was

475
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:42,000
intense oversized dark eyes

476
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:43,920
in its left hand number of fingers

477
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,760
unclear but definitely a thumb

478
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,440
it held something that looked similar to

479
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:49,199
what we today would describe as an ipad

480
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,079
or the like

481
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,839
in its right hand it held some kind of

482
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:53,920
stylus it looks straight at me

483
00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:56,240
and with mind to mind talk said what are

484
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:57,279
you doing here

485
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,199
we're not ready for you yet then my

486
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,720
consciousness zoomed back up through the

487
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:02,480
ground and back into my head where i

488
00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,240
stood in the tourist center

489
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,240
since then i have wondered when the we

490
00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:08,000
that this alien entity represented would

491
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:09,120
be ready for me

492
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:10,560
i have had other encounters with

493
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,880
ufo-related entities like the mib

494
00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:14,560
dressed in a black warrant officer's

495
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:15,279
uniform

496
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,040
driving a yellow mini cooper on the

497
00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,360
military base near keflavik iceland

498
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,440
he told me go home and point it towards

499
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:23,519
the southwest and north america

500
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:25,440
maybe the alien entities have visited me

501
00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:26,880
but i don't remember it

502
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,639
ready is a term that has shown up in

503
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,720
many stories about ce3

504
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,560
i am very much on my guard for when this

505
00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:34,639
word shows up because of this encounter

506
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:36,240
in which the word was spoken to me by

507
00:15:47,749 --> 00:15:45,030
fired s and i is staring at me from the

508
00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:47,759
shadows gila national forest new mexico

509
00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:49,759
this incident occurred in 2007 in the

510
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,519
wilderness of the gila national forest

511
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,560
in new mexico

512
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,560
i am from new mexico and was raised in

513
00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:56,240
roswell so this is an area i have

514
00:15:58,629 --> 00:15:58,000
visited several times prior without

515
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:58,639
issue

516
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:00,320
on this trip i was with a group of about

517
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,480
10 other people we were two days into

518
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:04,160
our trek with several more to go

519
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:05,440
for those who aren't familiar with the

520
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:07,199
gila it's a stunningly beautiful area

521
00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:09,040
with trails that follow winding river

522
00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,560
that carves through a canyon

523
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:12,000
there are high cliffsides jutting up

524
00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,279
hundreds of feet through some parts of

525
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:14,959
the canyon and dense brush

526
00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:17,040
overall it is very isolated and has an

527
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:19,120
odd vibe to it in certain places

528
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:20,880
i've always associated that with the

529
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,399
fact that it's an area with ancient

530
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:24,160
native american history dating back to

531
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,240
at least 9600 bc

532
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,800
that i know of or maybe further lots of

533
00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,560
crazy stuff has happened there over the

534
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:31,839
years to be sure

535
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:33,839
it has a compelling history on this

536
00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:35,279
particular night we were camped in an

537
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,959
area where the river makes a u-shape as

538
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:38,399
it wraps through the canyon

539
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,240
it was a fun day and i had even managed

540
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:41,839
to catch some trout that i ate for

541
00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:42,480
dinner

542
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:44,079
right around dusk i needed to relieve

543
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,000
myself so i wandered away from our camp

544
00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:47,759
into what i would describe as a ravine

545
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:49,440
or an arroyo where flood waters drain

546
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,440
into the river there was dense brush and

547
00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:53,440
high sloping banks on either side

548
00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:55,120
all in all it seemed a good place to go

549
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,800
to do my business at the time

550
00:17:00,150 --> 00:16:58,480
i made my way up the ravine and thinking

551
00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,160
back on it i walk an unreasonable

552
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:01,759
distance from a camp which i find

553
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:02,560
strange

554
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:04,000
as if i kept walking almost

555
00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:06,079
absent-mindedly or was drawn further in

556
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,520
which is not my norm

557
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:09,280
as a preface there is something i think

558
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:10,640
many here are familiar with that is

559
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,720
known colloquially as the silence

560
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,240
typically this phenomenon occurs in

561
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:15,919
nature when there is a large predator in

562
00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:16,799
the area

563
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:18,959
anyways i noticed it was nearly quiet

564
00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:21,199
and i knew that something was very wrong

565
00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:23,039
when i say quiet i mean the silence was

566
00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:24,959
deafening if that makes sense

567
00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:26,959
by this time it's nearly completely dark

568
00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,960
and i am out of your shot of my cam

569
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:30,880
alarm bells intensely started blaring in

570
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:33,120
my head and got my hair stood on end

571
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:34,720
i noticed a strange change in my

572
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,799
perception likely caused by the twilight

573
00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:38,480
phase change but the light around me

574
00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:39,919
seemed to become shrouded in shadow

575
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:41,039
quite suddenly

576
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,559
it was almost like someone had one of

577
00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:44,000
those sliding dimming switches for a

578
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,720
light bulb

579
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:46,000
you know the feeling you get when you

580
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:47,520
are sitting somewhere public and just

581
00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:49,200
feel someone else looking at you

582
00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,559
that's what happened suddenly and

583
00:17:53,909 --> 00:17:52,799
intensely a few moments later i heard a

584
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:53,919
loud and distinct crack

585
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:56,080
an odd wrestling from about 30 feet away

586
00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:57,440
above me in the bush

587
00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:59,039
it sounded like a person walking where

588
00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:01,039
no person should be it sounded like

589
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,039
human footsteps cracking twigs

590
00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,799
i was petrified to make a move but

591
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:06,480
finished my business and stood as

592
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:08,160
confidently as i could muster facing the

593
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:09,520
direction of the sound

594
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,200
i was unarmed and knowing what i know

595
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:12,880
about predators i didn't want to make

596
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,480
myself appear any more vulnerable than a

597
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,600
kid alone in a ditch

598
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,760
and in the dark i've had encounters with

599
00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:19,280
bears mountain lions

600
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:22,080
etc but this felt so much different i

601
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:23,440
did not have the high ground

602
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,600
figuratively and literally i called out

603
00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:26,960
loudly hello

604
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:28,640
a few seconds passed and the wrestling

605
00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,240
continued in the distance

606
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:32,480
silence at this point i felt beyond

607
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:34,080
vulnerable and terrified

608
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:36,480
unreasonably terrified in hindsight and

609
00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:37,440
after researching i

610
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,840
often wonder if infrasound played a role

611
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:41,440
with my hair standing on end i took a

612
00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:42,000
few steps

613
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:43,679
backward and that's when i noticed the

614
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,000
eyes about 20 feet away above the bank

615
00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:47,840
of the ditch was a pair staring directly

616
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:48,480
at me

617
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:50,000
i was in shock for a moment as it was

618
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,679
near where i heard the crack slightly

619
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:53,440
iridescent looking eyes high above me on

620
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:54,320
the bank

621
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:55,679
high enough that they had to either be a

622
00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:57,520
massive creature or a large creature in

623
00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,559
a tree branch

624
00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,240
the silhouette didn't make sense but

625
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,480
shadows played fix on the eyes and mind

626
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:04,240
i can't be sure it wasn't a large owl or

627
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,280
something like that but the

628
00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:07,039
circumstances and general feeling make

629
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:07,600
me believe

630
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:09,679
otherwise the silence and heaviness in

631
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:10,960
the air was totally wrong

632
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:13,360
but it's hard to explain instinctively i

633
00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:14,960
backed up as slowly as i could facing

634
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,679
those eyes

635
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:16,960
and that's when i heard another crack

636
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:19,120
above me to my right this made me lose

637
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:20,080
my sh t

638
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:22,400
as that noise was much closer at this

639
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:23,360
point my fight or

640
00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:25,120
kick in and i turned and sprinted as

641
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,960
fast as i could breathless

642
00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:28,480
i made it back to camp and told my

643
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,919
friends i thought there was possibly a

644
00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:31,440
large predator in the area and we should

645
00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:32,799
make sure we bare bag and take

646
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,840
precautions

647
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:35,520
thinking back on it i think it very well

648
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:36,880
could have been a mountain lion or a

649
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,520
bear

650
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,600
who knows one thing i know for certain

651
00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:41,200
is that i felt like i was in absolute

652
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,679
danger

653
00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:43,280
and all of my alarm bells were screaming

654
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,720
to get the f out of there

655
00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:46,160
still freaks me out all these years

656
00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:47,919
later the shade of that memory is always

657
00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,840
in the back of my mind whenever i'm out

658
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,960
in the woods alone

659
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:52,880
all in all i'm just glad i'm not another

660
00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:55,039
backwoods missing person statistic

661
00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:03,350
