Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, everybody, This is Marlene with her in news. And
now a day goes by that something eerie is not happening,
and today we're gonna get into different news. We're gonna
look at Bigfoot. What happens when bigfoot? You know? Is

(00:21):
Bigfoot aggressive? Isn't bigod aggressive? Are we not understanding Bigfoot?
We'll get into some information about that. Also, let's look
at the AI. What does it mean robotics? You know?
Are we gonna be looking at a terminator kind of
scenario down the line? Or is just a lot of
made up stuff that we're trying to scare ourselves with.

(00:43):
All right, fear pornkin deal. But anyway, let's get off
to our first story out of Stranger than Fiction stories,
and this is titled the Summer of Death. World War
two ended, but violence and destruction visited London in another manner,
women were being slain in horrific ways, and in some
instances Scotland Yard was at a loss to identify the perpetrator.

(01:04):
The victims were pretty women and young girls, all dead
by the hand of a killer or killers who were
savage and sadistic. Sometimes there were hardly any clues and
the authorities were baffled. In total, there were twenty one deaths,
fourteen of them were women and remained unsolved. The detectives
of Scotland Yard were forced to use adjectives such as

(01:24):
horrible and gruesome in their reports because nothing less would apply.
English bobbies were unarmed and Londoners never expected something of
this caliber to happen in their city. Police described that
anti social behavior as something not seen since nineteen eighteen.
No doubt they recognized a correlation with the end of

(01:45):
war and a surge of violence. It wasn't only murders,
but other crimes were being committed at more than double
the rate during the nineteen forties, and London alone, offenses
averaged ten thousand and one month. In nineteen thirty eight
had been fourth. There were twenty thousand vacancies opened on
the police force throughout Britain, seven thousand of them in London.

(02:07):
Even the offer of pay in housing brought in few recruits.
Scotland Yard's homicide department was undermanned and their personnel worked
sixteen hours per day. Many of them had gone three
months without a day off. On February sixteenth, nineteen forty six,
Lillian Miller twenty, wife of a Canadian soldier was strangled
on a footpath after she went to a dance in Canterbury.

(02:30):
Police questioned seventeen hundred British soldiers that were quartered near
the murder scene, but could find no leads. Her death
remained unsolved until nineteen eighty two. In nineteen forty six,
William Phipps was eight years old when he witnessed his
drunken father strangled a waitress to death in a lumber
yard where he had been playing. His mother swore him

(02:53):
to secrecy. She then washed her husband's clothes, which were
full of blood from the victim. In nineteen eighty two,
he to the Daily Express, now that she is dead
as well as my father, I have to get it
off my conscience. I saw my father murder. A woman, Lillian,
was married to a Canadian Army private named Bill Miller.

(03:14):
After the war, she worked as a waitress and lived
with some relatives. Her husband was in Saskatwan preparing a
new home for her and their son, Victor. On the
night she was killed, she went to a dance with
her brother, Frederick Kemp. Examination of her body show how
she was covered with bruises from resisting her attacker. He
had attempted to rape her before strangling her to death.

(03:37):
Phipps continued with his story, I heard someone coming and
I hid in a secret camp some of us had made.
I saw my father come through the entrance of the
yard with a woman, and I saw him kill her.
I knew that she was dead. I went home and
did not tell anyone. My father was a drunken, violent man,
and I was afraid of him. My mother knew what

(03:57):
he had done, as he came home with bloodstains on
his clothes, and she helped to clean them up. She
made me promise never to say anything to anyone, and
I never did. His mother, Anna Laura, lived in Canterburian
died in nineteen eighty and his father, Ernest, a railway porter,
died in nineteen sixty three. It's unknown of authorities ever
uses information regards to the case of Lilian Miller. Two

(04:20):
weeks after Lilian Miller was killed, Francis Missy aka Francis
Handley twenty six, well known in Piccadilly circus bars, were
strangled with a stocking in her London flat and soho.
Three US servicemen were questioned and then released, She was
lasting walking towards her flat in the company of a small,

(04:43):
dark haired man wearing a shabby suit. Her next door
neighbor said she heard the sound of furniture being moved
around and a muffled cry. The police forced her way
into her flat after her friend called police. Another report
described where Francis was seen a little after midnight with
a short sailor young with a Scottish accent. He was

(05:03):
sturdily built, had a thin, boyish face with a sallow complexion,
and he wore his dark hair well greased. Police believed
her killer spent at least a couple of hours in
Frances's apartment. Her handbag was missing and robbery would seem
to be the motive, but other rumors circulated she was
killed by a gang for being a squealer and as
she informed on one of her friends who belonged to

(05:25):
a black market gang. The only clue left behind was
the button from a man's suit, strands of hair, and
a partial fingerprint from the bedside table. Frances was married
to a twenty seven year old Maltese man who was
also her pimp. On February twenty seventh, nineteen forty six,
He spent three months in prison after pleading guilty to
promoting her for prostitution. He had been convicted of the

(05:48):
same in February nineteen forty four. He remain Her murder
remains unsolved. Muriel Drinkwater, twelve was killed on June twenty seventh,
nineteen forty six. She disappeared while walking a one mile
path from where her school bus dropped her off and
her home. Her mother saw her coming along the trail
that led into the woods, and then she was not

(06:09):
seen again. The last person to see her was Hubert Hoyles, thirteen,
who passed her on the path. He had gone to
her family's farm to buy some eggs. The next day,
a police inspector found her body. She had been shot
twice in the chest, beaten around the head, and raped
when in a few days a World War One era
called forty five pistol was located. This was the murder weapon.

(06:32):
Police searched up to one hundred and fifty miles around
the home and to read approximately twenty thousand men in
Swansea and the adjoining area. Despite the intense search, the
case remains unsolved. In two thousand and three, the case
was reopened, hoping that answers could be found using DNA evidence.
This effort stalled out until two thousand and eight, when

(06:53):
retired cold case detectives found Murieals clothes and storage on
the back of her coat a seamen stain that had
circled in yellow. A profile was retrieved and made, but
no match was connected to any DNA in the database.
Hubert Hoyles, who passed on the path, was cleared. In
twenty twenty, documentary Dark Landing Hunting the Killers suggested that

(07:18):
Ronnie Harris was Muriel's killer. He was hanged for the
murder of John and Phoebe Harris Excuse Me, an older
couple who were his relatives. They presented evidence at the
time of Muriel's death that he was employed by her father.
DNA has also been taken from Muriel's family in order
to rule them out. One of Muriel's cousin offered insight

(07:40):
into what happened to the family after her death. He
said his grandparents, Muriel's parents, had changed after the murder.
They had been regular church goers, but stopped going to
church and moved away from the farm within two years
of the murder. In twenty ten, the National Records and
Archives closed the case off the public access at the
request of Scotland Yard. The reason given was it could

(08:03):
help find the perpetrator as long as there's six feet
above ground. That is, less than two weeks after Muriel's murder,
another girl was killed. Her name was Sheila Martin eleven,
who was raped and strangled with hair ribbon. With her
hair ribbon, she was found in a thicket near Falkholm
Green while ten thousand people watched motorcycle races a few

(08:24):
yards away. Like Muriel, she was only a half mile
from her home. On May twenty ninth, nineteen forty six,
Robert Perrington Jackson, a theater manager, one time British naval
officer and actor, was shot to death in his office
at the Odeon Cinema in Bristol. He was shot during
a scene in the film The Light That Failed by
Rudyard Kipling, which was playing in the theater. There is

(08:48):
a scene where five shots ring out. It was then
that Jackson was hit in the head. There was no
attempt at robbery and no clues could be found at
the scene. The key to the safe remained in the
manager's pocket and the money in the safe was left untouched.
At the inquest, the pathologists confirmed it was not a suicide.
His findings were that it was a heavy caliber weapon

(09:09):
used in the shooting. The police believed the perpetrator escaped
by going over girders beneath the cinema balcony. In nineteen
ninety three, a man claimed that his father, a criminal
called Billy the fish Fisher, made a deathbed confession in
nineteen eighty nine. He said it was a botched robbery
and he shot Jackson. There has been no coroboration if

(09:30):
this is true. The building later turned into a closed
stought that had reports of haunting activity, and two exorcisms
have been performed there. This case remains unsolved. The re
Marshal twenty one served in the rw RWRNS during the war.
She was discharged in June nineteen forty six and she

(09:51):
took a holiday in Bournemouth to convalesce from a bout
of measles and influenza. She stayed at the Norfolk Hotel
since it was the only one open into civilians. The
rest were used as billets for troops. The hotel was
close to one hundred foot cliffs that framed the beach
with a seawall promenade. While taking a walk there, she
met a handsome man who introduced himself as Group Captain

(10:12):
Rupert Brooke. In reality, his name was Neville Heath and
he was already tied to the murder of another woman.
She had afternoon tea with him and spent the rest
of the afternoon in his company. She then accepted his
dinner invitation. Something happened during the time they spent together
which she started to feel uncomfortable being with him, and
asked another guest to call a taxi for her. Witnesses

(10:34):
said he had been drinking heavily. He canceled the taxi
and offered to walk her back to her room. She disappeared,
and on Friday July fifth, this was reported to the
police by the manager of the Norfolk. The manager also
called the Tollered Royal, where she had dined there the
night before. The following day, Heath spoke to a constable
offering his help. He went to the station and from

(10:56):
a photograph identified her as the woman he dined with
the night before, but his story was that he had
left her in the gardens in central Bournemouth. The Remarshal's
mutilated nude body was found hidden in a grove close
to the private beach near the hotel. Her father and
sister came to Bournemouth and went to the police station,
where they were introduced to Heath under his alias. He

(11:17):
even joked about a similarity to the poster put out
for nevill Heath. The police grew suspicious, went to his
room and searched it. A body scarf was found, as
well as a railway cloak room ticket, which in turn
led to a suit case with a diamond patterned weave
riding whip inside. It was stained with blood. After further questioning,

(11:39):
he admitted his true name. He was taken to London
and charged with the murder of Marjory Gardener. This was
his first victim, who was found bound at the ankles
and whipped by a leather crop with metal tips that
left seventeen gashes on her chest, stomach, back and face.
A four an object, possibly a branch, was shoved into
her vagina. She had a gash that ran from the

(12:01):
inside of her thigh to her mutilated breast. Later, it
would turn out he savaged another woman in the same
manner only a month before. Neville Heath had a troubled
path past. I'm sorry. He joined the Air Force the
Royal Air Force in nineteen thirty seven at the age
of twenty, but was dismissed for going a wall. He

(12:23):
used the alias of Lord Dudley and Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong
while forging documents and breaking into houses. He was sent
to a youth detention center. At the beginning of World
War Two, he joined the Royal Army Service Corps and
was shipped off to the Middle East. There he frequented
chiro brothels, where he paid to whip young prostitutes. A
year later, he was court martialed for fraud defenses and

(12:45):
for being absent without leave. En route to England, he
escaped the authorities in Durban, South Africa. Once there, he
used the name of Bruce Lockhart and the handsome, wavy haired,
blue eyed charmer romanced Elizabeth Pitt Rivers, age eighteen, much
of the dismay of her wealthy family. They married and
had a son. He changed his surname to Armstrong, joined

(13:06):
the South African Air Force and attained the rank of captain.
He was seconded to bomber command back in England. To
add to his other vices, He was a gambler who
was soon putting out bad checks to cover his losses.
By nineteen forty five, was facing another court martial for
wearing military medals without authority. At the end of the war,
his wife devorced them on the grounds of desertion. He

(13:30):
didn't lose his pensant for using aliases and started calling
himself Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Heath. He was dismissed from the
service due and due to his dismissal from the RAF,
he was denied a civil pilot's license. By nineteen forty
six he returned to England. The twenty nine year old
began to haunt bars, which is where he found his
first victim. Her name was Marge Regardner, an artist and

(13:52):
occasional film extra. She lived with her young daughter in
Earl's Court. She was separated from her husband, which battled alcoholism.
On June twentieth, nineteen forty six, she met Nevill Heath
and they went to the Panama Club at Knightsbridge. After midnight,
they went to Pembridge Court Hotel in notting Hill. He
suffocated and suffocated her and mutilated her body. She was

(14:14):
found the following afternoon in the room he registered under
as Lieutenant Colonel Novell Heath with doubt. Realizing his mistake
by using his real name, he left London and headed
to Bournemouth, where he met Doreen Marshall. However, it suspected
he killed another woman before leaving to Bournemouth. A few
days later, on June twenty eighth, nineteen forty six, the

(14:35):
body of Ivy Griffith, thirty three was found on waste
ground next to her Newcastle under Lyme home. She had
been separated from her husband for about a year and
lived with her mother. An edged instrument was used to
mutilate her head and face. Later was a certain she
had been kicked to death. One of her ears was
torn off. When Ivy was found, she was fully clothed

(14:55):
and her brooch was recovered on a footpath of five
or six yards from her body, along with her handbag.
There was no indication of robbery. Scotland Yard was looking
for a man in his twenties who had been keeping
company with Ivy. A witness interviewed by Scotland Yard saw
a tall, slim, athletic man running away from the spot
where Ivy's body was found. Was this another of Heath's victims.

(15:17):
Her case was never solved. Heath's trial for the murder
of Marjorie Gardner started on September twenty fourth, nineteen forty six.
During the proceedings here in The Moniker of the Gentleman Vampire,
Heath originally wanted to plead guilty, but his lawyer J. D.
Caswell advised him against this and instead put in a
plea of insanity. He called William Henry de barg Hubert,

(15:41):
a criminal psychiatrist, to testify as an expert witness. Doctor
Hubert said that he knew what he was doing, but
couldn't distinguish it was morally wrong. The prosecution dismantled this
expert and his testimony, since, unknown to Caswell, Hubert was
an attict was under the influence of morphine. Wen he
stepped into the witness box, two prison doctors explained to

(16:03):
the courts that Heath was a psychopath and a sexual sadist,
but that he was saying The trial ended three days
later and Heath was found guilty and sentenced to hang.
He was charged with Doreen's murder, but because of his execution,
it didn't go to trial. On October sixteenth, nineteen forty six.
The execution took place at Pentonville Prison. While awaiting execution,

(16:27):
he asked to receive all the major magazines who were
following his trial, and referred to his pending execution as
a one way op military parlance for a suicide mission.
In a final letter written to his parents prior to
his execution, Heath informed his parents, my only regret at
leaving the world is that I have been damned unworthy
of you both. A few minutes prior to his execution,

(16:51):
as was the custom, he was offered a glass of
whiskey by the prison governor, a playboy to the last
Heats replied, while you're about it, sir, you might make
that a double. In September nineteen forty seven, newspapers published

(17:11):
a story of twenty two unsolved murders, including the killing
of Ivy Griffith, that had occurred in the span of
only the two previous years. So, yeah, what they're finding
is that that war, or the aftermath of war. I
guess that you call it men that are coming back

(17:32):
from being exposed to violence, or already violent to begin with,
and got more violent when they went off to war.
That there's an uptick of crime, and also of course
that there was less law enforcement to take care of
to address crimes to In other words, if you were

(17:53):
a criminal or you were a killer, you didn't have
to worry about the police coming and finding you, like
right in the act. So and sometimes when you see
even now with this case of murial Drinkwater, where they're
closing down the archives, and sometimes I think about that,
I'm thinking, well, why would they anybody, whether it's the

(18:14):
British government or any government want to do this, especially
now with the advances of DNA. I'm thinking to myself, well,
you know what, maybe what it's about is what if
they used the DNA in this case that that had
semen stains of all things, and the killer was right

(18:34):
there it was in other words, it would have been
an easy solution to the murder. And especially let's say,
let's say a police force like like Scotland Yard, which
has this reputation of being this superior law enforcement, you know, agent,
you know, I just like the FBI and all this stuff,
Like all of a sudden, they look stupid. They look

(18:55):
stupid because it wasn't like this was not a difficult
case to solve you know, the killer was right there.
All you had to do was you know, in other words,
without the DNA thing here fifty or sixty years in
the future or know, in this case would have been
like six seventy years, you could have solved this, but
you guys didn't. And I sometimes think that that's why

(19:15):
some of these cold cold cases. Not all the time,
but sometimes they do stuff like that where they make
access to be information because I'm thinking, Okay, most of
the people, if not all the people involved in that
case are dead or very elderly. That is what it
is we're talking here. Let's say in the case of

(19:36):
Murial drink water nineteen forty six, chances are everybody's dead.
But still I think, why not? And the only thing
I can come up with is that it's gonna make
somebody look bad, and the only people that are gonna
be left looking bad would be the law enforcement because
even if let's say they do fine, Okay, we made

(19:58):
a match between the seamen, and again, that's not a
guarantee if this person never committed a crime where there
was nothing to match them to. Even though nowadays, if
you have a family member that's done any type of
genetic you know, genealogy thing. They'll they'll trace it back.
Might not come back to anybody, but even if it does,

(20:18):
nine times out of ten, I would say ninety nine
point nine, this person's dead, you know, in other words,
posthumously they know who it is. Sometimes this person went
on to commit other crimes, was hanged, executed, or spent
time in prison, or sometimes maybe they turned out to
be a pillar of the community. But bottom line, you
can't can't prosecute somebody once they're dead. But it's still

(20:41):
at least knowing. And another benefit from it is when
they make a match to a person that maybe was
not a suspect before or was not known as a criminal.
That then you look at other cold cases surrounding this person,

(21:02):
all right, and you say, okay, well he turned out
he was a perpetrator in this. We'll use a murial
drink water case. He is a perpetrator for this. Wait
a minute, were there any other similar crimes in that
area that we never looked at this perpetrator for because again,
maybe he was not known to be a criminal, or
he moved aways something that all of a sudden, The

(21:23):
benefit is not only identifying him for that case, but
looking at other cold cases that have just you know,
forget it. You know, that's too long, it's too we
can't figure it out. So anyway, that's my pitch, that's
my pitch on that as to why sometimes it seems
that access to certain material evidence again with the help

(21:48):
of DNA, which is getting better and better, they nobody
seems to care. Anyway. Let's move on to the next story.
Out of Strangers and fiction stories, this is titled Bad Blood.
It all started in January eighteen sixty one in Putnam County, Indiana,
in the small town of Groveland, and Hannah twenty and

(22:11):
his wife, Lydia eighteen were murdered in their beds. None
could understand who would want to kill the young people.
After discovering the horrific crime, police theorized the perpetrator raised
the window of a room in the house to gain entry.
He crushed tilgmuan's Hannah's head with an axe and then
sunk the blade into the forehead of his wife. Their child,

(22:31):
which was in the room, was uninjured. The murder weapon
was found in the room full of gore. Nothing in
the house was vandalized and no valuables were missing, leading
authorities to believe that robbery was not the motive. The perpetrator,
after killing the couple, walked out the front door. A
memorandum book lying on a table in the bedroom had

(22:52):
several indecent sentences which the murderer had written across one
of the pages. One of them was I have done
the d now. Goddamn you catch me if you can.
Suspicions were raised against good fellow h Evans, known as
Harper Evans H twenty, who lived in the community. The
motive for the murder was that Lydia Hannah had once
been a sweetheart of Harper Evans. He lost her and

(23:16):
brooded over the disappointment until he thirsted for revenge. Harper
Evans was arrested and the writing in the memo book
proved to be his. Eventually, he was found guilty and
sentenced to imprisonment for life. He tried to commit suicide
within hours of being sentenced. Evans used a knife that
was smuggled into him and succeeded entirely severing the jugular

(23:37):
vein in his neck. He passed off from loss of blood,
but was saved and transported to the prison at Jeffersonville
to service sentence close to the end of the Civil War,
he escaped and was never recaptured. Thirty years passed, and
the next Evans to make the papers was Harper's brother Noah.
On a summer day in eighteen ninety one, he wrote
to Erastus Richard Adams home. Erastes better known as Day

(24:00):
to the people of Greencastle, Indiana, was sitting on his
porch recovering from a gunshot wound inflicted by the same
Noah Evans. The origin of the bad blood between the
men started with Evans's wife. She was an opium eater,
as they referred to it in the newspapers, and Adams,
who had the same problem, said he'd been cured by
a doctor at a sanitarium in Waveland, Montgomery County. In

(24:23):
one version, Missus Evans stayed at the Adams home while
she received treatment. In another version, when she went to
the sanitarium, Adams was also being tended there, and he
seduced her with the promise of morphine, where pony raped her.
Once she returned home, Missus Evans wrote letters to Adams
demanding pecuniary reparation, making it understood that he would pay

(24:47):
with his life if he refused her Dick Adams then
went on to boast about the event when he was drunk,
and it was not long before Noah Evans heard about it.
When he questioned his wife, she told him that while
under the effect of the morphine, Adams raped her. In
April eighteen ninety one, Adams was shot through a window
while lying in bed, his wife and child next to him.
Two bullets hit his arm and shoulder, but he recovered

(25:09):
and strangely did not bring police to Evans's doorstep, even
though he declared that he knew who shot him. It
didn't help that Evans terrorized the community to make sure
nun spoke against him to the authorities. Five weeks went
by until Noah Evans made good on his threat. He
rode with his wife in a light road cart up
to the front of Adam's house. He handed the reins

(25:31):
to his wife, stepped from the cart, walked up to
where Adams sat on the porch, pulled his revolver and
poured seven bullets in him. Then he calmly climbed into
his cart again, and shaking his smoking weapon with curses
and threads, warned the assembling crowd from following him since
he planned to get an attorney and turned himself in.
Many believed that Evans had reacted the way he did

(25:52):
since this was a second wife and much younger than him.
Nick Adams was formerly a saloon keeper at Roachdale, and,
like his slayer, was recognized as a dangerous man. Evans
was a farmer, but the newspaper recalled that his brother
Harper had slain the Hannah family thirty years before. Sheriff
Vestal gathered a posse and set out to pursue Noah Evans,

(26:14):
trailing him to the station at Wheaton. It was supposed
that he turned north into Montgomery County, where one of
his cousins, who lived in Lebanon, was an attorney. True
to his word, Evans turned himself into authorities in Greencastle
on June fifth. At the end of July, Sarah Adams disappeared,
and the Evans family, reputation being what it was, fear

(26:34):
was rampant. They had done away with her, but then
when it reached the town, she went to see friends
in Illinois of her own accord. Perhaps she thought it
was wiser to just go to another state since Evans
had been indicted for murder and she could be called
as a witness to the incident. On October eighteenth, eighteen
ninety one, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
with a life sentence to be served at the same

(26:56):
prison in Jeffersonville where his brother had escaped from. In
eighteen ninety two, Frank Evans, his grandson, who was an orphan,
was sentenced to the juvenile reformatory. He was charged with
burglary after he broke into a store in Groveland. On
May twenty fourth, eighteen ninety three, Judge Christian Samuel Westerner
was shot and killed in the Danville courtroom by James

(27:19):
Coally Brown after making the argument of his life in
a case against Brown. Brown, president of the Lebanon Gas Company,
claimed it was an act of self defense after Wesner
produced a knife. The problem between the men arose due
to a suit against the Lebanon Gas Company for damages.
Many commented that Westerner suffered from the same course that

(27:39):
afflicted other men of his family who had come to
a bad end. Westerner was the attorney Noah Evans went
to see after killing Dick Adams. He was a cousin
of the Evans brothers. He assisted in the selection of
the jury, but withdrew before the testimony was taken and
took no part in the defense of Noah Evans. At
this time, Evans was still serving as life sentence in

(28:00):
the Jeffersonville Penitentiary. In November eighteen ninety three, Brown was
acquitted of the murder of Samuel Wesner. Westerner's son also
had a wild streak, and he was called a peace
breaker known as Tans. He was under several indictments for
unlawful acts, had attempted to cut the throw of his

(28:20):
father in law, Jim Livingston. He was reported to have
shot at William Beckthel, a saloon keeper of Lebanon. It
was thought that through the influence of his father, none
of the indictments against young Westerner had been pushed. Ironically,
Christian Samuel Westerner junior practiced law, but he was an
alcoholic who became very violent when he drank. Fourteen months

(28:41):
after Westerner's senior was shot, his son also met a
gruesome man at the hands of his father in law,
James Livingston. The trouble started three years before, when western
married and proved to be a very jealous husband. This
led to many quarrels. Shortly after the marriage, mister Livingston
tried to interfere when Westerner was berating his daughter. The
belligerent sun in law cut him about the face, but

(29:03):
his intent was far dailier, which was to slice his throat.
There had been other quarrels that followed. The day before
his death, Wesner arrived drunk at his home and drove
his wife, mother, and sister from the house. They took
refuge at a neighbour's property, and in the morning they
sent for the deputy, who prepared warrants for Westerner's arrest.
The women were afraid to sign it, since western was

(29:25):
very abuse and had often threatened their lives. The next day,
Westerner went looking for the women and ended his search
at his father in law's home. He confronted mister Livingstone
and said he would not leave without his wife. His
wife was indeed hiding in her father's house. Livingston reached
behind the door and brought out a double barrel shotgun

(29:46):
and shot his son in law in the chest. On
October thirty first, eighteen ninety four, James Livingston went to
trial and was acquitted of the murder of Christian Samuel
Wester Junior based on self defense. Widow, ever, went on
to marry two more times and died in nineteen sixty
five at the age of ninety. The last mention of
Noah Evans was in eighteen ninety seven, where he was

(30:08):
still serving his life term, and after this his fates
from history. Along with his grandson Fred. His brother Harper
Evans evaded capture. However, there were rumors that he was
seen skulking around the farmhouse where he had killed his
one time sweetheart, Lydia Hannah, but this was never verified.
What was it about the Evans Weissner bloodline that drove

(30:29):
the men to such violent act that led to death
or imprisonment? Hmm? Was it a genetic predisposition or something
much more ephemeral like the curse of Bad Blood? Dark
crimes still loomed on the horizon for Greencastle, Indiana, where

(30:49):
in the headless body of Pearl Brian was discovered on
February second, eighteen ninety six. For those of you who
are not familiar maybe with the murder of Pearl Brian,
this was where this game prominence was with the haunting

(31:10):
of Bobby Mackie's music world. It's like a honky tonk
off the Licking River. And supposedly there was a haunting
tied into the murder of Pearlbrian, So this is all
these people are shooting, killing each other and then in
eighteen ninety six, which was by the way, a very

(31:31):
horrific murder. But anyway, yes, yes, what was it about
all these men running around being ultra violent? And even
this one he was he was an attorney his father
who had gotten killed in the middle of the court,
and was a judge. So it's like these men hold
these important positions and at around and they're very uh,

(31:52):
they're violent. It's like, I don't know about you, you know,
holding h you know, being in charge of any of
this stuff, because I don't know about that. You know,
how good is your judgment? How's that? How good is
your judgment? All right? Next story, also out of Strangers
than Fiction Stories, is titled bad Luck for the Bricklayer.

(32:13):
For several months, a strange creature or the image of
a bizarre ghost haunted Hammersmith and Turnham Green, a village
on the outskirts of London. Time is January sixth, eighteen
oh four, London, England, those living in the area were
wary to leave their homes after sundown. The ghost was
credited with breaking windows and even maiming some of those
who lived in the area. Local news wrote about an

(32:34):
encounter with a strange race. This was a description quote.
On December fifteenth, eighteen oh three, during the night, servants
belonging to a brew house situated on the outskirts of
town were returning with a friend. They were met by
the ghost, dressed in what they described as to resemble
the height of a calf, with a per enormously large
horns and cloven feet. The men turn and ran, However,

(32:57):
he overtook a dray man, seized him by the throat,
and nearly choked them. A week later, a stage driver
traversing down a lane near the margrave of Anspach heard
a weird, rustling noise by the moonlight. He stubbly described
as a strange creature dressed in white, gliding over an
adjoining meadow. When it came near, he saw bladders coming

(33:17):
from its feet, shoulders, arms, body, and head. This was
what was making this strange noise he heard. Being a
conscious man, he ran back to the town and raised
the alarm. Telling all who would lend him an ear
what he had seen. Several men returned with him to
where he left his horses and coach, and found the
traces had been cut and the horses were grazing in

(33:39):
a field nearby. Since then, the ghost appeared every evening
in the churchyard, which was about a half mile from
the town. What would have been a local story that,
with time faded, served to settle legal president in England
concerning self defense, was suspected. The apparition was that of
a suicide victim, a man who had slid his throat.

(33:59):
Contrad to religious norms, he had been buried in consecrated ground.
This would not allow his soul to rest. There was
no organized police force at the time, and the citizens
could only look to themselves to form patrols. By then,
there was a suspicion that it was not a real ghost,
but someone posing as a ghost spirit. In January eighteen
oh four, Francis Smith, an excise officer, patrolled with the

(34:21):
local citizens. He shot and killed a brick layer named
Thomas Millwood. Smith thought Millwood was infamous Hammersmith ghost. William Girdler,
a night watchman, stood at the corner of Beaver Lane.
On January third, eighteen o five, at around ten thirty pm,
he crossed path with Francis Smith, who was armed to
the shotgun, and they agreed to meet. After Girdler called

(34:45):
the hour at eleven pm, they parted ways, and soon
after Girdler heard a shot ring out, and with John
Locke and George Stow, they met with the Smith, who
seemed agitated. At the scene was Millwood's body. Soon the
constable arrived and took Smith into custody. A surgeon examined
the body determined that death came about as a result

(35:05):
of a gunshot wound on the left side of the
lower jaw with small shot about size number four, one
of which I penetrated the vertebrae of the neck and
injured a spinal marrow. It was not the first time
Millwood was mistaken as a ghost. He was a bricklayer
who normally wore white clothing as part of his trade.
Smith was tried for murder and found guilty, even though

(35:26):
he had no malice in the act. He was sentenced
to hang, and then it was commuted to one year's
hard labor. The publicity of the case forced John Graham
an elderly shoemaker that had made he pretended to be
the ghost by draping himself with a white sheet. There
is no record of the shoemaker ever being punished. The
reason he gave for the prank was revenge against his apprentices.

(35:49):
Sightings died down until eighteen twenty four, but it was
the appearance in the eighteen thirties of spring Hill Jack
that ended any stories of the Hammersmith Ghost. In nineteen
eighty eight, on similar case to Privy Council wrote into
law that if a person genuinely believes that a crime
is being committed, it cannot be held against him if
it turns out to be wrong. So there you go,

(36:11):
poor bricklayer, you know, dresses in white and everybody's running
around looking for the ghost, and he gets shot for
his troubles and again, but think about it, even though
this is what eighteen oh four a long time ago
to over two hundred and twenty some years, again we
come to this same same dilemma. If you shoot somebody

(36:36):
or anything, shoot and you hurt kill, but you really
honestly think that this person is posing a thread or
which doesn't How's this doesn't even look like what you
in this case, Remember, everybody here is primed and hyped up.
You know, we might think, oh, who's going to believe
that there's a ghost runnyway? But again, these people are primed.

(36:56):
And this is the middle of the night. This is
not like around now that you have city lighting or
ambi lighting. Must have been very dark, and you're running
around at midnight and you're already thinking. Everybody's runing around
saying the ghost, the ghosts, the ghosts doing this and
the ghost and doing that, you believe it? How's that
same thing? Now? How much how accountable can you hold

(37:19):
somebody that genuinely believes that they're shooting a ghost? Which,
of course, if you think about it, how can you
kill something that's already dead? But that's a whole other thing.
But yeah, even now, that's still that's something to consider
present day in modern times. Next story, This is out
of zero Hedge, and this is titled Chinese military unveils

(37:41):
robot murder wolves domes that definitely violate Asimov's laws. Here
we go. The Chinese military conducted tactical exercises integrating robotic
wolves and infantry operated drones others. Going Beijing's push deploy
unmanned systems and modern combat operations. The seventeenth seventy six

(38:03):
Group Army drills focused on battlefield coordination between personnel and
autonomous technologies for reconnaissance, strategic point clearing, fire support, and
breaching defensive positions. According to a military statement, the exercises
represent China's latest effort to advance unmanned warfare capabilities amid

(38:24):
growing global competition in military robotics. The Robotic Wolves branded
Steel Warriors debuted at the twenty twenty four Air Show
China Exhibition before being deployed and joint exercises with Cambodia.
During the twenty twenty four Golden Dragon exercise, China fielded
a rifle armed Robotic Wolf for assault operations. The follow

(38:47):
up Golden Dragon twenty twenty five exercise featured a UAV
equipped with QBZ ninety five assault rifle providing fire cover
for ground units. The military demonstrations come as Chinese defense
and analysts raise concerns about the ethical implications of autonomous
weapons systems. In a recent People's Liberation Army Daily, OpEd

(39:09):
analysts Yuan Yi Mayi and Yue Shiguang called for ethical
and legal research to address risks from militarized robots, warning
that malfunctioning units could cause indiscriminate killings and accidental deaths.
The PLA Daily authors referenced isc Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics,

(39:30):
which prohibit robots from harming humans, arguing that militarized humanoid
robots clearly violate these principles. They proposed overhauling Asimov's framework
for military applications, emphasizing that combat robots must adhere to
laws of war by obeying humans, respecting humans, and protecting humans.

(39:51):
The trio of analysts stress the need for built in
constraints to prevent excessive force and indiscriminate killing, while cautioning
against prematurely replacing human soldiers, noting that robots still lack
critical capabilities including speed, dexterity, and complex terrain navigation. Even

(40:11):
if humanoid robots become mature and widely used, they will
not fully replace other unmanned systems. The authors concluded, advocating
the balance integration of robotics into warfare. Let's see this
is so I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead, and doesn't
matter because anybody that's looking at the video version of this.

(40:34):
They're speaking in Chinese, which is unless you're Chinese, you're
not gonna understand it. But if you're looking at this video,
you're gonna see how they're using these things out on
the field or doing some type of training exercise, using
what the call those steel wolves and a lot of drones.
Hello of course, wow okay, so yeah, yeah, and you

(41:02):
know what, you look at these You look at these
steel wolves and you can tell they're I don't know
as far as on terrain how well they're going to do,
but as you can tell, they have some type of
firepower on them. I'm waiting for them to show that,

(41:22):
but yeah, and basically they're they're being used with human
soldiers in the field, is what it looks like. And okay,
right now, all I'm showing is they're walking. They do
have I can't tell what that is. Okay, but obviously

(41:49):
this is something to consider because you know more and
more people Okay, I'm sorry, it's not steel wolves. It's
murder wolves. Worse all right, murder wolves. There's no out
what they're meant to do. And yeah, this is a
slippery slope. How do you like if anybody's familiar with
Asthmov's rules of robotics. One of the thing is not

(42:09):
to hear humans. But that's difficult to do if you're
building these things to do exactly that. The thing is,
how do you differentiate between the humans you're allowed to
hurt and those that you're not. How did that's number one?
Number two? Amun functioning murder wolf? How do you? I'm

(42:29):
telling you this is a very very slippery and I
don't want to be hyperbolic, but a very dangerous slope
we're on when it comes to the use of AI
robotics period, but even more so in war war time scenarios.
All right, let's move on to Bigfoot. This is at

(42:50):
a mysterious universe and this is titled The Mysterious World
of Bigfoot Threat Displays. All right, we talked about that. Yeah,
considering nobody speaks Bigfoot, what do those howls or stones

(43:11):
or and they make those they they they beat the sticks?
What does that really mean? Bigfoot is almost without fail
always perceived as a shy, gentle giant that would rather
run and hide than ever confront witnesses. Yet, like any large,
potentially dangerous animal, Bigfoot has also been known to act
in threatening ways, and here we will go over some

(43:32):
that are worth knowing about the next time you are
out hiking in the wilderness. One of the most basic
and quite possibly most common forms of apparent bigfoot aggression
is wood knocking. It entails the alleged beast banging sticks
together or against trees to create loud bangs and knocks
that reverberate far and wide. These knocks can be alarmingly loud,

(43:54):
echoing throughout the wilderness and are not something one should
want to hear while alone in the woods. While there
are far too many cases to discussed here, the purpose
of wood knocking is not yet fully understood. At times,
there seems to be more than one sasquatch knocking back
and forth, suggesting that it could serve as a sort
of communication tool. However, on other occasions, reports seven indicated

(44:17):
that the wood knocking was very close and menacing, which
could mean that it is a bluffing gesture or a
way to scare off enemies. Whatever the case may be,
it is definitely a part of perceived bigfoot aggression tactics
and a fascinating peak into their possible behaviors. Getting into
more overtly threatening behavior. We have cases of bigfoot throwing stones, boulders,

(44:40):
or even logs in what seems to be without a
doubt and unmistakable warning to stay away. The rock throwing
is often accompanied by menacing vocalizations such as howls, grunts,
or growls, and it can encompass anything from small pebbles
to rocks, to boulders too heavy for human to lift,
and sometimes logs or tree trunks that have been torn

(45:03):
right from the ground. There are numerous cases of rock
throwing behavior and Bigfoot eyewitness accounts, and one report from
the Bigfoot Field Researches organization BFRO. A witness going by Ron,
claims that in November of twenty eighteen, he was out
on a three day getaway with his girlfriend the wilderness
of Green Lake in the Ino National Forest of the

(45:25):
Eastern Sierra Mountains of California to do some camping and
fly fishing. Ron would say of what happened, quote, we
hiked up to the Green Lake only to find that
it was totally frozen over. We decided to hike back
down toward another lake in the area. At one point
in our hike, we stopped to rest and eat some
snacks while we were there, I had a very eerie feeling.

(45:48):
It caused me to feel cold and shaky and nervous.
As we were sitting there, we suddenly heard a noise
of something flying through the air. I looked up and
saw a huge rock, which probably weighed at least forty
five pounds, coming from above us. The rock landed on
the trail about twenty five yards away from us. It
wasn't rolling down the hillside. Its trajectory indicated to me

(46:08):
that it had been thrown down the hillside. At about
that same instant, we heard a very distinct animal like
grunting noise, but it was far louder than any animal
grunt I've ever heard. We also detected a really foul smell.
I particularly remember the foul smell because one moment we
were breathing really fresh mountain air, and the next moment
there was this awful smell. About that time, we could

(46:32):
hear heavy footsteps coming down the hillside toward us. The
terrain in this area is steep with many tall pine trees.
We couldn't see very far above us, but we could
hear something was coming towards us. I've encountered many bears
in that area in the past, and I immediately grew
concerned a bear was approaching us. I yelled something like
it's an exploitive bear. The whole thing was so frightening

(46:55):
and unexpected that we both started running. We left my
girlfriend's jacket, my son clouds, and our food there and
just started running down the switchback trail. The jacket and
sunglasses each cost over one hundred dollars. We never went
back to get them. As we kept running down the switchbacks,
we could hear the heavy footsteps following us. Whatever it was,
it didn't stay on the trail and follow the switchbacks

(47:18):
like we did. Instead, it cut straight down the hillside,
and its movements were loud enough for us to hear it.
We ran for about five minutes before realizing the thing
was no longer following us. We went back to the trailhead,
got in our car and left. This was the scariest
thing I've ever experienced in my life. I'm confused and
puzzled by the whole thing. I'm not the kind of

(47:39):
guy who believes in things like ghosts or bigfoot, but
I can't explain what happened to us. End quote in
another BFRO reporter witness called only RW says of his
own frightening rock throwing encounter. Quote. It was Thursday, November
twenty fifth, twenty eleven, at approximately eight twenty just outside

(48:00):
out of Albion, Oklahoma. I have fifty acres of mountain
hunting land on K Trail Mountain Road. It was lightly
raining and around fifty degrees. I was by myself setting
up a second feeder for the morning hunt. I walked
approximately thirty yards off the road to move some brush,
and I heard of every strange howl or growl. It

(48:21):
was just on the other side of the road by
my truck. I started heading back to my truck and
it howled again. I had never heard anything like this before.
I yelled back at it, and it responded with a
more aggressive howl. Shortly after that, a large rock came
up through the brush and landed in the road. This
exchange of rowels went on for twenty minutes. I never

(48:42):
saw anything, but I can tell you it wasn't a
bear or deer. I guess there's something to the sign
I saw an Indian Highway Indian Highway home of Bigfoot.
End quote. You're more spectacular is when Bigfoot hurls logs
at people. In twenty fourteen, bigfoot researcher host of the
Sasquatch Chronicles podcast, West Germer, or Girmer, went on an

(49:05):
excursion to the Sam Houston National Forest in Texas with
guide Bob Garrett and his crew into an area of
the park called Piney Woods, which is particularly known for
its intense bigfoot activity. It was not a particularly eventful
expedition until one evening, when they were sitting around quietly
in their camp about warning, they were assailed by a
comphony of crashing brush out in the darkness. At first,

(49:28):
Germer thought it was one of the crew messing around
out in the forest, but he soon realized that this
was something else altogether. He says the sounds were from
something far larger and more powerful than a human being,
and as shortly after it all started, something very big
and fast charged the camp. Girmer would recount this quote,

(49:49):
My heart was just pounding in my throat. We hear
this thing crash through the brush, and then we hear
this thing start crashing, just crash, crash, crash, and you
can hear it walking, and you can hear it breaking
branches as it's going this thing moved so fast it
probably covered a hundred one hundred and fifty yards like
nothing end quote. The mystery creature then allegedly bolted back

(50:12):
into the trees, the noise then abruptly stopping in the wood,
still and silent again. But this was not the end
of the story of the scary ordeal. Gemer claims that
he and Garrett picked up flashlights to go investigate, which
is perhaps not the best of ideas. They estimated that
the beast was still there, perhaps thirty or forty feet
off beyond the tree line of the camp site, and

(50:33):
watching them, Garrett, who was armed with the rifle, claimed
that he caught a glimpse of something very big lurking
out there, but Gemer didn't see it. Merely sensing that
it was looming there in the gloom, they crept towards
what they believed to be the location of the creature,
but whatever it was did not seem to have appreciated this.
As the two men heard a sound like the beating

(50:54):
of helicopter blades, Gemer says, oh what happened next? Quote,
And I knew what it was. It was a log coming,
and it was a big log, and you could hear
it being thrown, and I duck down because I thought
for sure was going to hit one of us in
the head. But it hit a tree right in front
of us, and I just couldn't believe this was happening.

(51:14):
I knew what just threw that log at us. I
knew what had just paced us. In end quote, Germer
claims that this wasn't even his first experience with a
log throwing bigfoot in the park. He says that on
a previous expedition to the same spot, a log had
come sailing from the woods to smash into a spot

(51:34):
where his girlfriend had just been sitting just moments before,
and on another occasion, he had cowered in his truck
as it was bombarded by rock, sticks and logs by
the angry creatures. When they had finally left, he returned
to his campsite to find it totally destroyed, as if
a very large animal had ransacked it. That night, the

(51:54):
aggressive displace would continue, of which you would say, we
could hear them run back and forth, and the tree
limbs and broken trees flew into camp NonStop. They also
heard noises that sounded like a monkey trying to be
an owl. Or, as Germer describes it, a freaking werewolf.
This was also in the same general vicinity as the

(52:15):
other incident, so whatever it is there obviously does not
seem to like company. The BFRO has several similarly harrowing
cases from the region. In the summer of two thousand
and nine, a witness by the name of Stan Williams
was an assignment as a photographer for Texas Highways Magazine
and the Texas State Travel Guide to photograph the Sam

(52:37):
Houston National Forest in the late afternoon. He was west
of Cold Springs, hiking out with his camera looking for shots.
He claims he came to clearing about a mile to
two miles into the forest, where he waited for a
few minutes in the hopes of getting a shot of
some wildlife. As he sat there watching, he apparently heard
some crashing noises from beyond the tree line, and a

(53:00):
strange sequence of events would play out. The witness says quote.
After a few minutes, there was a loud crashing noise
on the other side of the clearing that startled me,
as deer make almost no noise. Before I could react,
the small, juvenile black bear came out of the trees,
stopped in the clearing edge and put its nose up
in the air, sniffing it then abruptly turned around and

(53:20):
ran back into the woods. I started to go after
it for a photo, but thought better of it, as
its mother would undoubtedly be nearby. I decided to go
back the way I had come to give them space.
I'd barely turned when I saw a huge, dark humanoid
shape about ten to twelve feet away through some very
thick ya pond brush. I'm six foot three inches and

(53:41):
I was looking up at twenty to thirty degree angle
to its head and huge shoulders. Texas bears don't get
anywhere close to the size, more like an Alaskan Kodiak
bear in size. I froze all of a sudden, its
hand moved, and a two to three inch diameter tree
trunk about fifteen feet long came flying toward me. I
ran like a werewolf was after me, and it might

(54:03):
have been. I was back at the car in just
a few minutes, clothes torn and bleeding from cat's claws
and briars trying to stop me. I jumped in the
car and peeled out, not stopping till I reached cold
Spring end quote. The witness would only later process what
had happened and come to the conclusion that he had
a very close and dangerous encounter with a sasquatch. Unfortunately

(54:27):
he was not able to get a picture of it.
It might seem odd that this professional photographer, specifically waiting
there in the clearing for wildlife to appear, wouldn't have
been able to get a picture of the creature, but
one of the BFR researchers who followed up on the
case had said of this quote, this is a classic
example why we get no close photos and few distant

(54:48):
blob squatch photos. Here you have a trained professional photographer
with a professional equipment, in a wooded environment, presented with
a potentially life threatening situation. He was stricken with fear,
fearing that he might be a attacked by something so
close to him. There was no thought to raise the
camera to get a money shot. We spoke about that.
He kicks himself to this day about not raising his camera.

(55:09):
He was all about getting the heck out of there.
He reacted like virtually any one would, especially if they
had no idea what they were encountering or what to
expect from it. That's what happens when someone is in
self preservation mode. Even a professional photographer. Those who wonder
aloud why we have no good close range photos need
only imagine his exact scenario, this exact scenario and honesty,

(55:33):
and also consider what you would do in many cases
such as these. In many cases such as these, the
rock throwing or log throwing is joined by another bigfoot threat,
a tactic in which they will shake brush or treat violently.
Another BFRORO report gives a good example of this. In
twenty sixteen, two hunters were out at the Blackstone Gap

(55:56):
area northwest of Nordeg, Alberta, Canada to do some bow hunting.
Ibit tripped, they would not forget any time soon. BFRO
researcher Becky B. Would say of the incident. At approximately
nine thirty pm on September nine, twenty sixteen, the witness
and a trusted hunting partner arrived in the Blackstone Gap

(56:17):
area near Nordeg, Alberta. Shortly after arriving at the site,
the witness and hunting partner started a fire to prepare supper.
Almost immediately, bow hunters began to hear leaves crunching and
something big moving through the brush approximately twenty five yards
away at a nearby tree line as experienced outdoorsmen, the

(56:37):
witness said. The witness and the hunting partner both assumed
that the noises were being caused by a bear. The
hunters retrieved their shotguns as a precaution. The sounds of movement,
cracking leaves, and breaking of branches continued from the same
location for approximately a half hour. In an attempt to
scare off the presumed bear, the hunters fired off around

(56:58):
from the shotgun into the air. Immediately following the shot,
a spruce tree in the tree line where the noises
had been coming from began to shake violently, followed closely
by a sucker ball sized rock being thrown from the
same area seconds later, landing close to the hunters. The
tree shaking, as well as the rock throwing, continued for

(57:18):
a full twenty minutes, with a total of seventeen rocks
being thrown toward the hunters. Throughout this entire time, no
vocalizations of any type growling, hoffing, or screaming were heard.
The witness and hunting partner packed up their camp within
the twenty minutes. All the tree shaking and rock throwing
were continuing and vacated the area. They rush toally the area.

(57:40):
The witness left a cell phone on a stump in
camp all. The witness is a lifetime hunter and has
been into the area frequently over the past twenty five years.
There was extreme hesitation to return to the location to
retrieve the phone. Prior to this encounter, the witness had
felt the feeding of being watched in this area, but
had never felt threatened like on this occasion. A variety

(58:03):
of alternatives and scenarios were considered by the witness, such
as other campers or hunters shaking the trees and throwing rocks. However,
this was ruled out due to the remoteness of the
location and the high level of danger to other humans
still remaining concealed after shotgun was fired into the sky
approximately twenty five yards away. The possibility of a bear

(58:24):
or cougar shaking the tree was also considered and rejected
due to the occurrence of prolonged rock throwing that accompanied
the tree shaking. The number of emails and phone calls
with the witness I determine that witness was credible and
very familiar with the area. The witness was a lifelong hunter,
who was kempt in a fairly remote area which he
had visited frequently over a twenty five year period. The

(58:47):
hunting partner refuses to discuss the experience. One thing that
is interesting to note about these cases and others like them,
is that the rocks or other objects almost always miss
their marks. Sure, maybe they just have incredibly bad aim,
but it is almost as if the creature do not
actually want to hit their targets, but are rather just

(59:09):
trying to scare people away so that they can be
left in peace. If this is the case, if further
cements the idea that bigfoot is largely a peaceful creature
that often just resorts to these threats to make people
leave it alone, rather than out of any malicious desire
to hurt them. Scariest of all bigfoot threat displays is
a behavior that seems very similar to gorillas, and that

(59:31):
is what is mostly called a bluff charge in the wild.
Adult silverback gorillas do this by rushing forward while thrashing
brush and beating their chests, and this is not too
different from what is reported with angry bigfoot and bigfoot
bluff charges. The creatures will rush loudly through the trees
and brush towards the intruder, seemingly trying to make as
much of a ruckus as they possibly can, and often

(59:54):
coming so close that the witness fears for their life.
This may or may not be accompanied by rock throwing,
tree shaking, wood knocking, or even attacking witnesses vehicle, although
it is worth noting that the person is almost never harmed.
There are many cases of bigfoot bluff charges going way back.
In as early as nineteen fifty two, a man saw

(01:00:14):
bigfoot on a dirt road north of Orleans that emerged
from a spot near Bear Creek and went off into
the Bear Valley. The witness kept driving, but later saw
the same creature and stopped his car. At this moment,
Bigfoot ran forward in a very menacing manner, veered off
to walk down the road, and then charged again, this
time grabbing the car, refusing until I go into The
man had driven a few hundred yards. Nineteen sixty eight

(01:00:39):
has two such reports. First was when a man named
Mike Gordon was camping in his Dodge truck at a
place called Gray's Falls Campground in March of that year.
He woke in the middle of the night to see
a bigfoot rushed towards the truck, which he proceeded to
pound on a shake for around two hours before stalking
back into the trees. There's also a case from April

(01:01:00):
of that same year a man named Larry Browning sighted
a female bigfoot waiting at the south fork of the
Salmon River. This bigfoot would apparently follow him for an
hour and a half before charging him and then running off.
In a more recent report from the BFRO, the witness
claims that in nineteen eighty three he was on a
retreat in Bradenton, Florida, when he had a life changing experience.

(01:01:22):
He says of what happened, quote, I awoke Saturday morning
when my parents and uncle were still asleep. I decided
to dress and go sit on the pipe overlooking the
Manatee rivers I have done in the past. It was
about six thirty am. I wore my dad's deputy sheriff
coat because it was cold out. After sitting on the
pipe for about twenty minutes, I got up and started

(01:01:45):
walking toward my uncle's apartment, which was about two hundred
yards away through the woods. After getting only twenty yards
from the pipe, I heard something walking up the river
bank to my left, making a lot of noise while
it walked. I stopped in my tracks, looking and listening,
when all of a sudden, out stepped in front of me,
this incredibly large creature, which was about thirty yards away.

(01:02:06):
While it was walking, it was looking around and briefly
looked my way. Then all of a sudden it realized
it had seen something and turned to look again in
my direction. It stared a few seconds and then started
running towards me. I ran towards the eight foot barrel
wire fence behind me, which was about twenty yards away,
mixed to the pipe. I grabbed the top of the

(01:02:26):
fence and climbed over quickly. The barbs tore my pants
as I climbed over. As soon as my feet hit
the ground, the creature was standing face to face with me,
about six feet away, with only the fence between us.
The creature was at least seven and a half feet tall,
dark brown hair head to toe, dark eyes, approximately four
hundred to five hundred pounds, and very long arms. We

(01:02:48):
stood there about three seconds, looking at each other, until
the creature reached over the fence toward me. That is
when I took off running for my life down the
fence line with a creature running along side of me
on the other side of the fence. To this day,
all I remember is the snorting and grunting sounds it
made while running alongside of me. As I was running

(01:03:09):
up the dirt road, the creature ran into a thicket
and could not continue to chase. I continued running towards
my dad's old workshop on the campgrounds until I was
able to jump back over the fence. After crossing the fence,
I made my way back to my uncle's apartment, very
cautiously watching for the creature. On arriving at my uncle's apartment,
I told my parents and uncle what had happened. All

(01:03:30):
of us went over to the pipe where I had
encountered the creature. We could not find the creature anywhere.
I have never forgotten that day or had been so
scared in my life. I really felt like the creature
was attacking me for reasons unknown. I didn't know what
I had seen, and I didn't know about Bigfoot or
sasquatch until years later. I never told a soul outside

(01:03:52):
my parents and uncle on the day of what I
had seen in fear of being laughed at until I
came across the bfor others had come forward with their stories.
This prompted me to tell mine end quote Again, as
with the rock throwing, the creature never actually seem to
lay a hand on the victims and don't seem to
be trying to cause any harm, which they could very

(01:04:15):
well easily do if they wanted so. While being charged
by an eight foot tall, six hundred pounds eight like
beast might be jaw droppingly terrifying, it doesn't seem that
any of these are actual attacks, but rather bluff displays
designed to warn off fromtruders. Any end, Despite all of
these threatening gestures, is Bigfoot a real gentle giant after all?

(01:04:35):
We may never know, but in the meantime it might
be better not to piss one off. You know what.
Maybe they get like that. Maybe they have like a
mating season and they react to males. I've always wondered
about that. To males overall, even if you're not a
Bigfoot pheromone, something is like, Hey, if you're male, if

(01:04:59):
this is my and your male, you're in the enemy
right now. Might be as simple as that, Hi, everybody,
it's sparline with your iNews. And as to this last story,
I didn't want to cut off so abruptly, but it
was gonna be another story about robotics. It was this
really neat video on there as part of the story,
which turned out to be a parody. It's still neat,
and of course it's along the same lines as the

(01:05:22):
previous story of warning about the unintended consequences of using robotics,
especially and military maneuvers. But anyway, I'll be back with
you soon with a lot of weird, unusual you name it,
especially eerie stuff. Till next time,
