1
00:00:08,270 --> 00:00:05,930
foreign

2
00:00:10,009 --> 00:00:08,280
[Music]

3
00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:10,019
kind of hesitant about some of my

4
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:11,460
experiences

5
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:13,320
um because I don't like to say things

6
00:00:17,529 --> 00:00:14,940
unless I can back them up with either a

7
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:17,539
second witness or photographic evidence

8
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:21,119
or some type of physical evidence so I

9
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:23,520
would say personally the the experience

10
00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:26,100
that stands out the most is uh the large

11
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:28,019
wolf or canine experience I had in

12
00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:30,240
October it was actually my second week

13
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:31,859
in October

14
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:34,020
um out there on the property when myself

15
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,579
and another officer

16
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:37,920
we have this routine down

17
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:40,320
where one guy would go out for a morning

18
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:42,960
run around the property and kind of get

19
00:00:47,209 --> 00:00:45,120
an eyes on of the environment kind of

20
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:47,219
get a judge of how the day is going to

21
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:49,260
go where we're going to go check out and

22
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,760
the other guy would do the report from

23
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:52,879
the night before and get that sent up

24
00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:56,100
and then you know around 11 noon we'd

25
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,079
pack up our gear and Hike out and go

26
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:00,960
explore and look for stuff and do EVP

27
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:03,000
sessions at some of the homesteads and

28
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,460
uh take pictures and that's what kind of

29
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,680
got my photography going was at the time

30
00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:09,119
there were there were some questionable

31
00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:10,860
pictures being taken on Homestead too

32
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:13,560
that for me was was backstit back this

33
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:14,760
whole Backscatter which is Flash

34
00:01:19,490 --> 00:01:17,640
photography and a dust environment and

35
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:19,500
uh I was like that's not orbs those are

36
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:21,659
dust particles and I I kind of just I

37
00:01:25,249 --> 00:01:22,860
kind of debunked it with my own camera

38
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:25,259
because at the time I had a more uh more

39
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:27,180
high def camera and then I kind of

40
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:28,740
carried my camera my own personal camera

41
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:31,320
as a secondary ways to document the

42
00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:33,060
phenomenon as best I could

43
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,700
and um anyways so back to the wolf story

44
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,680
on this particular day uh the other

45
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:39,840
officer came back from the Run

46
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,240
and he was like hey I found some weird

47
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:44,640
prints some large canine friends on top

48
00:01:47,569 --> 00:01:45,960
of the Mesa

49
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,579
and I'm like okay let's go check it out

50
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:49,439
and I'm from Kansas and grew up on a

51
00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:51,360
farm where we had horses and all you

52
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,700
know all kinds of animals you could

53
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:55,200
think of we would have done middle of

54
00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:56,040
nowhere

55
00:02:00,590 --> 00:01:58,200
and so we go out there and we see these

56
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:00,600
large it looks like it looks like a wolf

57
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:03,000
prank big big size wolf print but what

58
00:02:06,109 --> 00:02:04,500
made it weird is that there was like a

59
00:02:08,449 --> 00:02:06,119
section where it looked like this animal

60
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,459
was walking on two feet they had like

61
00:02:13,309 --> 00:02:10,080
this three foot stride

62
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:13,319
and it will go to four feet two feet it

63
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:15,000
was it was weird it didn't make any

64
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:17,580
sense and at the time we had two black

65
00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:21,300
labs and a border collie dog we had

66
00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:22,739
three dogs with us

67
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,379
and the labs Prince and these are

68
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:27,599
full-grown Labs the labs prints and some

69
00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:30,060
of the pictures I I posted before

70
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:33,000
um these wolf prints dwarfed the lab

71
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,340
prints and you can see the the three

72
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,680
foot strikes I threw a ruler down to

73
00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:39,120
kind of measure it

74
00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:43,080
so we kind of call our supervisor column

75
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:44,700
and say hey we've got

76
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:46,680
a possible weird animal out here or

77
00:02:50,449 --> 00:02:48,120
something his advice is you know be

78
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:50,459
careful but document the best you can

79
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:53,580
I'm like okay Roger that so me and my a

80
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:55,260
colleague were like you know we have

81
00:02:59,570 --> 00:02:56,640
this stupid mindset like we're gonna go

82
00:03:01,850 --> 00:02:59,580
capture this animal not knowing what

83
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:01,860
we're really dealing with you know

84
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:04,680
this is in 2010. so that night we'd go

85
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,420
out I think it was the next night we'd

86
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:08,640
go out and we have all of our Gear with

87
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:11,280
us you know and we're out

88
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:13,200
until like three o'clock in the morning

89
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,640
and we're sitting up a little makeshift

90
00:03:18,890 --> 00:03:16,560
campfires everywhere trying to draw this

91
00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:18,900
animal in and we felt like the whole

92
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,180
night something was watching us and the

93
00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:23,040
dogs are acting very suspicious they

94
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:25,140
were like clinging to us and normally

95
00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:26,640
the dogs are running around trying to

96
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,200
catch rabbits and stuff but this night

97
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,000
they were very on edge so we knew

98
00:03:34,009 --> 00:03:31,920
something was up

99
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:34,019
so anyways it starts raining a little

100
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:34,860
bit

101
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:36,900
and we start we're like oh we've been

102
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:38,519
out all night let's let's call it a

103
00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:40,260
night it's like 3 30 3 o'clock in the

104
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,700
morning maybe I can't remember exactly

105
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:43,200
but I remember it was a full moon night

106
00:03:46,610 --> 00:03:45,840
and we start walking back to Homestead

107
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,620
one

108
00:03:51,470 --> 00:03:48,480
but we start backtracking our original

109
00:03:53,690 --> 00:03:51,480
our original tracks for that night to

110
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:53,700
see if we missed anything and we find

111
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,400
behind our Prince wolf Prince

112
00:03:59,210 --> 00:03:58,319
this thing had been following us the

113
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,220
whole night

114
00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:01,200
and the dogs never picked up on it and

115
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:02,519
we never saw it

116
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:04,920
so it was just it was just far enough

117
00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:07,980
away to keep a visual on us but not not

118
00:04:13,309 --> 00:04:10,739
close enough for us to see it

119
00:04:15,410 --> 00:04:13,319
so now we're like holy we need to

120
00:04:16,129 --> 00:04:15,420
get back to the homestead

121
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,139
um

122
00:04:21,289 --> 00:04:18,959
because this thing's tracking us now so

123
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,299
we're walking on the main dirt road that

124
00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:23,280
you see on the TV show and we're going

125
00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:25,259
around the curve actually it's all

126
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,419
happened at the triangle area so we're

127
00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:30,000
going around the triangle area of the

128
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,139
ranch

129
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:33,840
uh and I'm about 50 to 60 feet ahead of

130
00:04:37,969 --> 00:04:35,460
my partner and I'll never forget this

131
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:37,979
because this replays in my brain every

132
00:04:42,969 --> 00:04:39,660
single night

133
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:42,979
the the moon is full and there's clouds

134
00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:45,720
and my partner says stop I hear

135
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:48,360
something and his his life his like his

136
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:50,520
back is facing the ditch there and I'm

137
00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:52,620
ahead of him and I turn around to say

138
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:55,860
what and as I'm turning around it feels

139
00:04:59,930 --> 00:04:57,900
like time is compressing like like

140
00:05:03,170 --> 00:04:59,940
everything slows down

141
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,180
and the the clouds go over the moon and

142
00:05:07,370 --> 00:05:05,520
everything got really dark and I felt

143
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,380
like the whole frequency and vibration

144
00:05:11,710 --> 00:05:09,840
of the environment just dropped like

145
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:11,720
you're walking in water

146
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:14,580
and out of the ditch

147
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,460
we both hear this guttural growl come

148
00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:19,680
out of the ditch and something large is

149
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:22,020
like a size of a donkey or a deer black

150
00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:25,620
wolf jumps out lands on the dirt road

151
00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:29,220
takes off West the dogs go after the

152
00:05:31,850 --> 00:05:30,120
animal

153
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:31,860
we go after the dogs because we're

154
00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:33,240
worried about the dogs fighting these

155
00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:35,820
this big animal and we're right behind

156
00:05:39,409 --> 00:05:37,620
the animal and it's like

157
00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:39,419
we blink and it's gone it like

158
00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:41,100
disappears in the Darkness

159
00:05:44,570 --> 00:05:42,840
and we're like what the hell was that

160
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:44,580
and the dog stopped dead in the tracks

161
00:05:46,909 --> 00:05:45,960
and looked at us like what the hell is

162
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:46,919
that

163
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:49,380
and so we took some pictures and we got

164
00:05:52,370 --> 00:05:51,000
the hell out of there and got back to

165
00:05:54,290 --> 00:05:52,380
Homestead one

166
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,300
and did the report and I think an

167
00:05:58,129 --> 00:05:56,160
initial report I probably don't even see

168
00:06:00,050 --> 00:05:58,139
the animal because I was so freaked out

169
00:06:02,450 --> 00:06:00,060
about losing my clearance my my cue

170
00:06:04,850 --> 00:06:02,460
clearance got an initial report I said I

171
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:04,860
didn't see it because I was I had

172
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,240
planned to go back to Nevada Test side

173
00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:07,919
eventually it's because all my friends

174
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,720
were there and that paid better and

175
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:11,520
there was better benefits and stuff but

176
00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:12,960
I was like I'm not going to say put this

177
00:06:17,570 --> 00:06:15,000
on the report because my my brain cannot

178
00:06:20,749 --> 00:06:17,580
process what I had just experienced

179
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:20,759
wow that really took me back but here's

180
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:21,900
the crazy part

181
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:24,360
not that that wasn't crazy enough but

182
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:27,840
fast forward to 2015 I'm out there by

183
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:30,360
myself now because in 2011 we went to

184
00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:32,819
one person on the property now can you

185
00:06:38,529 --> 00:06:36,060
imagine securing a ranch and at the time

186
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:38,539
we had almost a thousand acres

187
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,400
we leased the land around us we leased

188
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:43,199
the land on top of the Mesa so we had

189
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:44,940
more acreage to cover

190
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,280
but imagine you're supposed to secure

191
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:49,680
the property by yourself at night it's

192
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:52,380
total no-go you don't do that but we did

193
00:06:58,430 --> 00:06:54,840
but in 2015 I'm sitting in a lawn chair

194
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,440
at the East Gate with the dogs at the

195
00:07:02,689 --> 00:07:00,240
time we have three three Labs now

196
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:02,699
because Bella had passed away

197
00:07:08,749 --> 00:07:06,600
and uh it was a nice quiet night I think

198
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:08,759
it was in the fall again and I was kind

199
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,020
of on my phone a little bit looking at

200
00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:12,479
the road not paying attention because by

201
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:14,520
2015 the ranch was like a second home to

202
00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:16,620
me I felt normal out there everything

203
00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:18,419
was just you know I knew word stuff

204
00:07:23,089 --> 00:07:21,060
happened but you're kind of I kind of um

205
00:07:25,550 --> 00:07:23,099
compared to being deployed overseas for

206
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:25,560
the first time in a combat zone like you

207
00:07:28,850 --> 00:07:27,240
know you're on edge or everything's a

208
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:28,860
big experience everything's like tunnel

209
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,160
vision by year by you know month nine

210
00:07:35,450 --> 00:07:33,840
month 10 year one you're ready to get

211
00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:35,460
the hell out of there and go home by

212
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:37,199
year five you're just like whatever it's

213
00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:38,520
the ranch I don't care it's just

214
00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:40,380
whatever so you're kind of getting numb

215
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:41,639
to the environment

216
00:07:45,230 --> 00:07:43,380
and sometimes that's good sometimes

217
00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:45,240
that's bad you get kind of complacent

218
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:47,880
which is not good but also you're you're

219
00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:50,460
I feel like your vibration uh kind of

220
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,620
Tunes in with the environment if that

221
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:54,720
makes sense anyways so I'm sitting on

222
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:55,860
this lawn chair

223
00:08:00,589 --> 00:07:58,800
and my back's turned against that it's

224
00:08:03,469 --> 00:08:00,599
called the Eastern Valley

225
00:08:07,550 --> 00:08:03,479
and out of the out of this bushes of

226
00:08:09,710 --> 00:08:07,560
sage I hear that same how growl that I

227
00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:09,720
heard in 2010

228
00:08:14,029 --> 00:08:13,199
or yeah 2010 I come off the chair gun

229
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:14,039
out

230
00:08:16,969 --> 00:08:15,300
spinning

231
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:16,979
because I thought this thing was going

232
00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:19,500
to attack and I can see the shrubs move

233
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:21,960
and the dogs go after it and almost come

234
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:24,360
right back like confused so I go out

235
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:25,860
with you know flashlight I don't see

236
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:27,780
anything but something was there like

237
00:08:32,209 --> 00:08:29,759
letting me know hey I'm still here

238
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:32,219
I was like oh great now I gotta walk

239
00:08:35,149 --> 00:08:33,839
back to the trailer which is like a

240
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:35,159
quarter mile away

241
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,320
and on this dirt road there's tons of

242
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:39,599
blind spots on this dirt road I'm gonna

243
00:08:44,269 --> 00:08:42,360
get flanked by something and and I'm not

244
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,279
making it back so the whole I remember

245
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,080
walking back that night like just gun

246
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,200
out like oh this is it I'm gonna die I'm
