So what's not waste much more time? You're gonna kick

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.439
things off tonight. Are you ready?

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.039
I'm ready?

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:18.359
All right. This is from a user named Jico Aragoma.

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.480
He posted a couple of stories that happened to him

6
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.600
in his family's cabin out in woods, and this is

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.920
one of his stories. When I was very young, I

8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.840
lived up in the densely forested mountains of the Northwest.

9
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.240
In those days, my parents still lived together, and I

10
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.920
saw my sisters frequently. There are many adventures we had

11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.880
up in those mountains. I recall many hikes, playing in

12
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.479
the mud and seeing a lot of deer. My father

13
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.719
is a craftsman by trade, a real jack of all

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.799
trades kind of guy. At the time, we were planning

15
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.200
to build a treathouse, but it was never developed beyond

16
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.359
the main platform. We had several picnics up on that platform.

17
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.599
I do recall one night climbing up there by myself.

18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.519
It was a summer night, just before sunset, wanted to

19
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.840
watch the stars. I was as fascinated by the constellation.

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.680
As the sun sank below the distant peaks, the first

21
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.319
stars came to light, and then the rest followed. It

22
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.680
was truly a sight to behold. I sat out there

23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.879
for hours, watching the stars drip slowly across the night sky.

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.840
I was about to head down for the unique when

25
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.480
I heard strained sounds out in the woods. I strained

26
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.640
my eyes to see into the shaded brush between the trees.

27
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.680
There was movement. It was slow moving, but it was

28
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.200
moving towards me. I could also hear a strained sound,

29
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:53.280
like a sort of pushing rattle. All the hairs on

30
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.359
my body stood at attention when I saw the creature.

31
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.200
It was a lanky thing crawling on all full its

32
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.480
limbs bent in an unnatural way, as if it had

33
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.479
no bones. It had wild and unkempt hair all over

34
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.479
its body. Most terrifyingly, it had massive shimmering eyes that

35
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.039
scanned the area. I set wide eyed and shaking at

36
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.360
this crawling thing. At that moment, in the house, a

37
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.800
light came on. The thing was almost as if it

38
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.120
was pulled back into the woods. At that point, I

39
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.840
immediately ran inside. Can't live in those mountains anymore. A

40
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.840
lot of good memories from those days, but I can

41
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.919
never forget what I saw that night. I don't think

42
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.000
any of us can wow. So that reminds me of

43
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.879
a couple of the previous stories I had talked about

44
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.080
like a month or so ago, now, like the weird,

45
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.960
lanky looking deer creatures with like the spidery limbs and stuff. Yeah, okay,

46
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.120
got questions coming in already. I wonder how they could

47
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.080
tell it was crawling and did they describe the face.

48
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.000
They do describe the face, because I think it was

49
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.800
a little too dark for him to see the face.

50
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.520
He just described it as being very hairy, and it

51
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.639
looked like it was like kind of like crab walking,

52
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.560
I guess from what he described it. A little bit

53
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.840
there towards him, and he could see the eyes that

54
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.599
the eyes were glowing or appear to catch all the

55
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.080
light and reflect.

56
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.919
And of course I am always multitasking here. So he

57
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.120
was near a house when this happened, right, because you

58
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:35.759
mentioned the light.

59
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.840
He was actually all right. So he had a platform

60
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.719
for a uh what's it called treehouse right next to

61
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.800
his cabin that he lived at or there vacation and that.

62
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.479
So he was up on that platform and the light

63
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.960
of the house is right next to him.

64
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.199
Basically, why was he up there at that time? Again,

65
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.319
he wanted to watch the stars and that's stargazing. That's

66
00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.599
when he packed up on some movement.

67
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.919
Yeah, then he heard that weird shushing sound it made

68
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.719
as it was going towards him.

69
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.960
Like a like a three pointer going in or kind

70
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.759
of sish, you know, pushing or sush what like. So

71
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.160
it must be going like gotcha, and it was. I'm

72
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.920
sure he could he hear it stepping on stuff.

73
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.240
I mean, he did say he kind of heard like

74
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.920
going through the brambles and stuff. I think in that

75
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.000
toar Sorry, someone suggested in comments towards something they asked

76
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.319
of YouTube, we looked up skinwalkers, and yeah, skinwalker's being

77
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.879
a big thing. He said. He did look up that

78
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.000
he wasn't certain that it was just by what he

79
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.160
just what he seeing and what other people described skinwalker being.

80
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.480
Uh so this to me really seems more like that

81
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.160
one creature which was always on the western side of

82
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.759
the country and the northwest and uh stuff like that.

83
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.399
So yeah, this might be a different creature altogether.

84
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.480
He's looking down at it with vantage point though he's

85
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.319
above it, and he sees it down on the ground. Yeah,

86
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.759
sees it coming out of the tree line towards him.

87
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.839
See there's a tree line. Then there's mountains off in

88
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:12.199
the distance. Yeah, gotcha, And he has an advantage point.

89
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.120
He's looking down. He sees this thing coming. Does this

90
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.759
thing see him?

91
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.600
He thinks, So he says he describes it as coming

92
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.519
towards him, So he thinks that it was definitely sees.

93
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.079
Him coming towards the stand he was in.

94
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.839
Yeah, but then once it sees that light, it kind

95
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.120
of like pulls back.

96
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.560
So somebody inside, assuming a family member or somebody.

97
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.160
Probably going into the kitchen or something.

98
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:35.680
Yeah, it flips on the light in the room and

99
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.600
then it's you said, it's like as if he got

100
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.160
pulled back physically into the tree line.

101
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.360
Yeah, like yanked back with such force as almost as

102
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.480
being pulled back.

103
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.600
M you think got something to do with Uh, somebody's

104
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.480
asking a good question. Could it have been a person possibly?

105
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.639
You know, you know, people are weird. They might crawl

106
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.319
out of the woods like that. The only thing that is,

107
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.519
you know, I would say he was a younger kid.

108
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.000
I don't know if he mentioned an exact age here,

109
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.120
but he was definitely younger, and so maybe he's misremembering

110
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.879
the glowing eyes, but he described them as being very

111
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.399
large and glowing, so it's amazing how people see so

112
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:17.199
well in the dark.

113
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.000
Hmmm.

114
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:19.759
I'm wondering too if it was a person. But it

115
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.199
seems like you would know. Why would a person come crawling.

116
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.839
I guess they're list they're trying to really sneak up

117
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.000
to you. Yeah, he had, Like he said, there was

118
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.360
other things that stuck out about it though, they like

119
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.160
wasn't very human like, Yeah, he said, describe the arms

120
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.879
and legs bending as if there were no bones in them. Yeah,

121
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.680
And that it had uh yeah, extragly hair all over it,

122
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.720
so maybe they were almost like rolled up, you know,

123
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.759
like you can't really do with your bones. And he said, Harry, Yeah, yeah,

124
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.040
you just said that. You use the term Harry, like

125
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:50.920
hair everywhere.

126
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.480
I believe he described it as being all over the

127
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.759
body of a double check that.

128
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.920
I like, how we ask you all these questions that

129
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.800
may or may not even you would never even know

130
00:06:58.839 --> 00:06:59.600
because you didn't.

131
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.360
Even Yeah, wild and unimped hair all over its body,

132
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.240
not just me, all over its body. Maybe big Foot

133
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.439
was crawling like a really gangly, creepy eat bigfoot.

134
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:13.600
You think the light could actually hurt it or was

135
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:14.199
just afraid of.

136
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.800
Its I that's a good question. I was assuming it

137
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.920
was just afraid of there being more people, Like maybe

138
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:28.399
this thing isn't particularly physically capable of overpowering the adult human,

139
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.680
but maybe a small child it could take.

140
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.160
And the skin walker seemed like they wanted.

141
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:35.959
You to come to them, Yeah they would.

142
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.319
This thing was sneaking up on him.

143
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.879
Yeah, they usually try to get you to come into

144
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:40.920
the woods.

145
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.639
Wow, that's pretty creepy, though. It's something you wouldn't forget,

146
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.480
that's for sure. You probably you're gonna sit the rest

147
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.199
of your life wondering what the hell did I see?

148
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.199
You know, you'll you'll probably never know. All right, See

149
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.959
we got any more comments? Okay, we're all caught up

150
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.720
on the anybody you got any questions? Any better? You

151
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.959
didn't now because we're about to move on. But I

152
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.639
think that to me, it's definitely frightening. And I wonder

153
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.639
what when he went inside and he told them what

154
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.519
he saw, what they thought. What would you say if

155
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.959
somebody come in the house and they're like this happened.

156
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.560
You know, they're big, you're full of it.

157
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.680
Well, if it's a little kid, you're probably tell them, oh,

158
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.519
you need to go to bed.

159
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.519
Yeah, here's sleepy little baby. You wouldn't automatically.

160
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.199
Probably say it was an owl.

161
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.519
The gray or the grayhorn owl. Is just like in

162
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.160
Kentucky at the alien sighting.

163
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:27.879
Yeah.

164
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.720
Oh, someone said, probably think they were on something. Yeah,

165
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.360
maybe I don't. I don't know. It's crazy though. I

166
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.759
wonder what time did he say it was?

167
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.960
Well, he said it was past dark because he had

168
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.840
watched the stars come out just past dark. Okay, well

169
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.039
it's nighttime then, yeah, and uh, he is during the summer,

170
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.679
so it'd be later in the day.

171
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.080
Yeah, sun takes a walk. Yep, yep, so it's late.

172
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.399
But who knows what time exactly? I don't know. I'll

173
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.639
be curious. Didn't seem like it meets all the criteria

174
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.360
of skinwalker though, from my expert opinion of hearing three

175
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.840
stories from me, you have skinwalkers.

176
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.480
Yeah, Like I said to me, it sounds more like

177
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.000
the other thing, oh, which people just call it. Not deer.

178
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.120
Yeah, the not deer. That's the greatest story in the

179
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.840
history of mankind. It's not a deer, that's all, you know, right,

180
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.879
be anything else, we'll move on. That was a good one.

181
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:16.039
That was a good way. That's a good way to

182
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.360
start it off. Somebody said, crazy stuff happens.

183
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.480
At two am.

184
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.360
I always thought it was like three am.

185
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:22.080
Was that hour?

186
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.519
You know, crazy stuff can happen at any time. I

187
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.679
think that's what I'm learning from this, All these stories,

188
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.399
and I've got one that shows you crazy stuff can

189
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:38.440
happen anytime. Jeff Townsend media sees.

190
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.240
You good night, and the question is do I stay here?

191
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.440
Will you be back? Are you gonna come back?

192
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.360
Will you be back?

193
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.279
Are you coming back
