Speaker 2 (01:06):
Now, what are your reporting? I got a screen going
on here. Something just kid with my dog. Something killed
your dog? My dog. We're flying through there over the tree.
I don't know how it did it. Okay, Damn, I'm
really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over
the fence, and name was dead once you hit the ground.
I didn't see any cars. All I saw was my

(01:26):
dog coming over the fence. Sat what are you reporting?
We got some wonder or something crawling around out here?

(01:57):
Did you see what it was? It was enough out
here looking. I'm new to window now and I don't
see anything. I don't want to go outside. Its point ar. Hello,
hit the boddy out here? What went on out there?
I've thought of a bit of about sixty nine. I
don't know easy. I'm out there. Yeah, I'm walking right head.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Oh Hey, greetings is Bread and Alaska. Thanks for joining me.
What I want to share with you today comes from
Tommy and Alice. This happened just this season, literally a
couple weeks at the most. The reason I am sharing
their experience ahead of some others because I try to
go an order in which I received them. I feel
it's important because I've been getting calls randomly, got contacted

(02:40):
by a look from Gosh I've seen him in twenty
five years, reached out because they've noticed an uptick in activity,
a lot more tracks being spotted, sightings and what have you,
all within his own family, his daughter seeing a white
one near Electnicat Road and Snake Lake Road. Stuff's going on.
So that, along with a few weeks back, I was

(03:01):
getting reports from the very patches. Nine reports in two weeks.
That's a lot, especially in one season. That's just crazy.
So I feel it's important to get this information out
to you guys. So Tommy and Alice, they were on
the upper cuss Quim, not too far from the Mystery Mountains.

(03:21):
They're at a relative's cabin. He was there to go
moose hunting. They had been there two days. If you're
an animal lover, vacate trust me, if you love animals,
or at least be prepared. But they had been there
a couple of days. Each morning he had gone out
up on this rise back behind this cabin, which you
got to understand, this cabin is like maybe twelve by fourteen,

(03:44):
pretty much a show with the wood stove, and there's
an old cast iron stove in there that his relative
who they were borrowing the cabin from, wasn't the process
of refurbishing because he liked the old school oil drip
stove he was raised on. Anyway, Just a bed in there,
wood stove, some shelving, the windows, a makeshift countertop. That
was it, he said. When you go up the cab

(04:06):
and there's four steps of small landing, the door swung in,
and when you step in halfway down there's a window
on the right and a window on the left, and
they mirrored each other. He said, for the first two
mornings he went out and would go up on this
rise and wait for the first light, start glassing around
looking for his moose. Now, he said, up on this rise,

(04:27):
he's looking at a small bowls kind of shape area
beneath him. That he wasn't that high up a couple
hundred feet of elevation above this basically large meadow that
he said was probably a mile in circumference roughly. Of course,
it wasn't a perfect circle at by any means. But
on the far side there was some black spruce that

(04:49):
kind of wrapped around some willows and stuff. It was
mainly marsh in the dead center, but there had been
reported moose activity on that far side, so he figured, hey,
I get up here, I make some I'll bring that
bull closer, get my bull moose. First two mornings he
was seeing dark movement off across that meadow and he figured, okay,

(05:09):
that's my bull moose. He would call no response. He
didn't want to overcall and spook it. And he was like, crap,
it was adted far enough distance. He couldn't make out
antlers or anything else, just something dark and moving. So
he's telling his wife, shoot, I'm gonna reposition and I'm
gonna go half moon around this meadow and reposition in

(05:30):
a different spot and maybe cut that moose off at
the pass and maybe my call will be more appealing
to it. And she was like, be careful. Else she
had her own rifle, well versed. They're at the Basket Indians.
It's not their first rodeo there. Used to being remote
for weeks at a time, months at a time. That morning,
third morning, he got out there a little earlier because

(05:52):
he knew he had some work to do, taking the
rim of this meadow being quiet and getting into a
position where he can this moussin. He said, he was
sitting there. He had his three hundred wind mag He
was very confident in his rifle. He had an elevated
scope so he could use his iron sights or his scope.
Of course, his dialed in. Excellent shot, very well versed

(06:13):
in the field, late fifties, very intelligent hunter, been there,
done that kind of thing. He's well aware of the Harryman,
very well aware. He heard the stories. He believed them.
It's just he's never seen it himself kind of thing.
It wasn't really on his forethought. So he said. Once
he skirted around this meadow and got into a position
where he said the tundra kind of went up on

(06:35):
a little bit of a rise, and then at the
top of the rise was these willow brush and he said,
that would be the perfect blind area. I can get
up there, Prona, if I want, I can glass from
that area and make calls. It's elevated off the floor
of this meadow. Right, he gets into position, he makes
a couple of calls, and from his new vantage point,

(06:57):
he doesn't have the same vantage point as a couple
hundred elevation. That he was at right. So he makes
a couple of calls as just as he's getting light out,
and he hears brush off in the distance in that
same area. Prior to mornings he had heard movement and
scene movement, and he was like, okay, good, it sounds
like he's coming this way. So he gets proned out,

(07:19):
he gets ready. He knows it's approximately about three hundred
yards to where that brush across the way ends and
this thing will come out into the open, this moose.
He thinks it's a moose, and he wants to get
eyes on it to see if he can bag it
and whatnot. He said, as he was laid out prone
in position, he started feeling like he was being washed,

(07:39):
and he would look through the scope and kind of
look look through the scope. It's getting light enough now
to where the sun hasn't rose yet, but it's pretty
much full on daylight without sunrise. So he's looking and
he sees movement, and so he makes another call. And
he's very cautious about how often he calls. He doesn't
want to spook anything. He's trying to sound now. So

(08:00):
he makes the call and he picks up the binoculars
he has and he's looking through the binoculars. They had
a little more of a zoom than a scope, right,
So he's looking and he sees darkness come out of
the tree line just a little ways and then back
in his position was he's facing towards the east, so
as the sun's coming up, it's everything behind his back lit,

(08:24):
so everything is silhouetted that he's facing right, so he
sees the silhouette if something dark come out and then
go back in and he's, oh, that's weird. So he
waited a little bit, makes another call, he said. When
he makes that second call after hearing the movement closer,
Tommy said, when he made that next call, all of

(08:45):
a sudden, he feels very heavily watched, gets this overwhelming
sense to look around, so he sits up. He's uncomfortable
in his own skin, he said, and he starts looking
around him and he's not hearing anything, right, he said,
as he basically the way he was feeling on the inside,
it was like, screw that moose. I need to see

(09:08):
why I'm freaking out on the inside. I don't even
know why. Again, not his first picnic, he'd been they're
done that hunting bears all that. So he stands up
and he's looking around and he doesn't care if he spotted.
At this point, like I said, he's really feeling out
of his skin. He looks around off in the distance.
He catches that darkness come out of the tree line again,

(09:28):
but this time it doesn't go back in. It's just
stand there. So it's looking around to figure out why
he's feeling so creeped out, and he grabs binoculars and
he looks at over at this figure and he said,
it just looked like a tall, dark figure. He said,
it basically looked like a very wide and tall tree stump.
He didn't see any limbs at this point, because again
it was silhouetted and there was no definition to it. It

(09:49):
was just a big dark shadow. So he was like,
that's not a moose. He knows enough to know that's
not a moose. And if it is, it's facing directly
at him. So he figures, what the hell, I'll give
another call, So he calls again to see if this
thing will move at all. As soon as he gives
that call, he's focusing on this huge tree stump immediately
off to his right. If this thing was at twelve

(10:11):
o'clock that he's looking at. It would be about the
two o'clock position where he sees more movement closer at
about one hundred and fifty yards ish, which is very close.
So he turns and looks. He said, the movement he's
seen was not a bear. The way it was moving
was very jolty and jittery. It was just very odd.

(10:34):
It wasn't a smooth movement. It was like a quiver movement.
The way it was moving was real weird. It was
hard to put it into words, as I'm obviously having
a hard time with it. It was jolting back and forth, twitchy,
And so he turns his focus over there with the binoculars.
His rifle's laying on the ground right at his feet.
He's looking through the binoculars over at this movement, and

(10:55):
just as he's looking at it and everything, all of
a sudden, that dark stump lets out this bellowing hallor
this howling, god awful noise. He said, it startled him
because as soon as it started, it was like he
can almost instantly feel the power from it.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
It.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Immediately he turns his focus back over there, as this
thing's making this scream, howling, god awful noise. That's the
best explanation he had for it. He said, there was
multiple different sounds coming from this thing, but he couldn't
make out any of them. It was just a hillacious sound.
As he's looking back at it through the binoculars, this

(11:36):
thing is moving off towards his right, quartering towards him,
over towards where this other movement was. He said, it's
moving fast. And it startled him how quickly this is
moving because he saw the Martian stuff right. He said, whoa,
this thing's moving. So he lets the binoculars hang and
he picks up his rifle and he raises it up
and he's looking and he looks back over where he

(11:57):
saw the closer movement, and he said he was in
shock because when he looked through his rifle scope over there,
the jolty, twitchy kind of movement. When he looked back
over there, he saw this thing. It was at about
eighty yards at this point. It was out in the open,
right next to some brush, and it was looking right
at him. He said it was very light blonde in color.

(12:21):
He said, it almost looked like a very blonde bear.
And that's what he initially thought it was. He was like, oh,
that's a big ass sal bear. He wings his rifle
and picks up the binoculars to look at it closer,
because his rifle didn't have the same distance as far
as his binocular so he gets a better look, and
this thing is squatted down. He said, it looked like

(12:42):
the biggest linebacker he had ever seen, squatted down, almost
on the line of scrimmage, ready for defensive play, almost
a football player. Kind of stands. As he's looking at it,
he's noticing that other one that was moving very fastly
coming up from behind it, and instantly he knew all
was not good. So he immediately was like, screw this crap,

(13:05):
I'm leaving. He had a thermos of coffee or whatever
on the ground. He reached down grabbed that. In the
time it took for him to take his eyes off them,
look down, grab his thermost, and turned to leave. These
things were already doing this number, moving back and forth
but slowly making their way towards him. Now, this is

(13:26):
a roughly less than one hundred yards that these two
things are doing this, and at this point, the one
that was squatted down is standing up and it's a
little shorter than the real dark one, and these things
are going back and forth, and it freaked him the
hell out. He dropped his thermist, raised his rifle and
cracked a shot in that direction. Immediately, these things dropped
down to where they were real low to the ground,

(13:47):
and he turned around, threw the thermist and all that,
and he took off. He was making his way back
around this meadow to where he can go up over
this little ridge and then make his way back to
the cabin. And he said, as he's going along, every
three four steps he would turn around and look, and
these things were keeping their distance. But every time he'd
turn around, he'd see him lower to the ground, and

(14:08):
it creeped him out. He said he had tears running
down his face. He was shaking really hard. He was
having a hard time breathing. He was having a full
on nervous breakdown. He didn't know what to do because
he said he felt like it was cat and mouse like.
He would make movements, turn around real quick, and then
they would lower down. He said it appeared for the
first half of his way back that they were keeping

(14:30):
a certain distance, but as soon as he was starting
to go up over this rise because the ridge who
was looking up from initially was off to his right,
and it elevated up a couple hundred feet over here
off to his right. But he had to elevate him,
he said, about seventy feet up over the small ridge
to drop back down the other side and get back
over to the cabin. Right. So, he said he was

(14:50):
about halfway up that when he had stopped, turned around
and raised his rifle. He said he felt like he
had to in that moment turn around and be ready
to defend himself.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to sea. We'll
be right back after these messages.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
He said. It was the weirdest feeling. He had never
felt that way, even with the problem bear all this
stuff right, so, he said, when he turned around and
he started look in that direction, he didn't see anything
at first. Now, where he's at halfway up this little rise,
it's about thirty five feet in elevation above the floor
of this meadow. He's looking back where he had just

(15:32):
come from, but off to his right hand side there's
these willow shrubs, and he notices them in the willow
shrubs about fifty yards away at this point, they're just
right over there, so he freaks out. He raises the rifle,
puts a bead with the open sights towards the darkest
spot closest to him, and squeezes off around The round

(15:53):
cracks off, and both the dark figures take off away.
He watched them move away. Now at this point, the
sun's just coming up over the rise off to the east.
He takes a minute because he watched these dark figures
move away. They went right back the direction they had came,
and they were out of sight. So he felt like
he had breathing room. Sits there a minute to catch

(16:14):
his breath, tears streaming, freaking out. It's confident enough that
they're far enough away he could turn his back and
continue on. So he gets up to the top, turns
around again real quick. He's looking around, no sign of them.
He gets back over to the cabin. As he's coming around,
he leaned against the cabin. He is catching his breath
because he was just winded from hyperventilating. It wasn't like

(16:34):
he was overly tired. It wasn't all that far that
he had traveled. It was just the anxiety, the anticipation
all that shit. At this point, his wife, Alice comes outside.
She had soapy water in a pan that she had
just cooked his breakfast in cleaning up after themselves in
front of the cabin. Because he is on the side

(16:55):
and the door is around the corner from where he
was leaning against the cabin catching his breath. He watched
his wife go out and there's this old Someone had
taken a tire rim and basically welded some holes shut
and made it a wash basin. He has no idea
why their relative or whoever made it used a tire rim.

(17:17):
He has no answer for it, but that's what it was, right,
and it was basically it could hold water for rins
and stuff off and all that kind of stuff. What
they had was a Rubbert plug that plugged up in
one of these small round holes in this particular rim,
and you just pulled the plug from the bottom and
to drain out and then you can refill it with
water or whatever. But his wife was over there started

(17:38):
messing with it. He starts yelling at her, hey, and
she looks back and sees him, and it's like, holy crap.
Sets down what she's doing in this little makeshift basin
and comes back over to him. It's like, hey, you're pale.
What happened? Did you get a moose? What happened? Or
you hurt? He was like, get inside, get inside, and
she's like, okay, she didn't question. She immediately got inside
because of his demeanor. He is pale, sweaty and all that.

(18:00):
He follows her in. He shuts the door. He's looking
out the one window. It looks over at the other
and he tells her what happens, and she is, let's
leave now. They were flown in. They have a handheld
radio that once. If he climbs that hill, that rise,
he could probably make signal to somebody and relay a
message to get picked up. So that's his plan. But

(18:22):
he's catching his breast. His appetite is gone. He's trying
to tell her everything that happens. She's calmed down, calm
down because he's just a mile a minute. Alice calms
him down, has him sip some coffee, has him calmed
down some more, and she's looking out the window. He's
go ahead and look out the window, but don't stand
right up next to it. Stand back from the window
if you're looking at it. So she is. She was like, well,

(18:43):
let's gather up our stuff. I'll go with you. We'll
be together. I'll bring my rifle, we'll be together. We'll
go up and start making radio calls to try to
get picked up. He was like, hey, I'll do that.
They go out. Of course, they want to be respectful.
His wife wants to clean up their mess because they're
borrowing someone else's stuff. So she goes, let me go
get that pan cleaned out real quick. It'd only take
a second. You can keep an eye out. And at

(19:04):
this point it's daylight, so he's calmed down a little bit.
There's no noises going on. He heard some songbirds and stuff,
so it was a little more calm. They go out
there and she was going to wash this pan out,
and it's not there. The pan isn't there, and she
was like, did I drop it on the ground. So
she's looking around on the ground. It isn't anywhere. He
watched her put it down. She knew she put it

(19:26):
down in this little makeshift rim and was like, what
the hell. So they're confused by that. So they look
around together a little bit and all of a sudden,
that's quiet again. Tommy's just inside inside now let's get inside.
So they retreat back inside. He has his wife inside
and he's sitting on the steps looking out in the
direction where this basin's just off to the left of

(19:47):
this little trail that kind of hooks down to a
real tiny kind of practice creek that's running from one
swamp to another. It's not like a full blown freshwater
creek that's running from a mountain spring or anything. It's
brackish water. So he's sitting on the steps looking like
trying to figure out what the hell. As he's sitting there,
he turns back and he's talking to Alice sitting in

(20:08):
there because she's sitting on the end of the bed.
She's got all their stuff ready, everything's cleaned up, kneaded up. Now,
there's some things that they were talking about. I'll leave
out because it's irrelevant to the encounter. The conversation they
were having evolved into other encounters, and Alice brought up
her uncle having some issues in years past. So they're
having this talk back and forth about the harry Man.

(20:29):
As they're doing so, Tommy's sitting in the doorway, turned
looking back in, sitting down with the door opening, his
feet on the second steps down. All of a sudden,
she lunges back and just above his head by where
the door was. The spatulist she was using, which was
an old barbecue style one that was stainless steel, as
one of those bigger, heavier ones, came flinging and hit

(20:52):
the door just above where he was sitting, and it
startled the shit out of both of them. Right, he
didn't even see where that throw came from, but it
was thrown with such force that it took a small
gouge out of that wooden door. Tarmy'd rolled back in
there and kicked the door shut and was like, what
the hell that bachelor hit the door and bounced inside
of the cabin. He shuts the door locks, it stands

(21:14):
up real quick. It was freaking out, what the hell
is this shit? As he's looking around to find that bachela,
he finds it, and what he noticed is the handle
was wide, stainless steel. I'm sure you guys have seen him.
There's no rubber handle on it or anything, but it
had a little leather tassel off the end. He said,
it looked like a big hand had squeezed it because

(21:35):
it was flat initially, but it was cupped like cupped
and you can almost see the finger indentse of whatever
cupped it, and it was much larger than his hand.
So they're just like looking at this thing like what
the hell? And it had this weird kind of greasy
film on it. He said it smelt bad, so after
touching him, he was trying to get the smell off
his hands. He was using hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and

(21:58):
other stuff trying to get this greasy. He said it
was worse than axle grease trying to get it off.
So they're sitting there trying to figure out what the
hell they're gonna do because they got to go up
to make a radio call to get out of there,
and this thing just threw a spatula. They ponder it
for a few minutes, and he goes, you know what,
we'll do it. As they're discussing how they're going to
go about it, he said, I'm going to have one

(22:19):
we go out of the cabin. I'm going first, You
stand behind me, and then I'm going to look around.
You come behind me, and then we'll turn and then
you take the lead so I can keep an eye
on you in front of me. As we go up
this rise and go start making the radio calls, she agreed.
As they're about to go out the door, all of
a sudden, damn, some hits the cabin really hard. They

(22:40):
both looking out the windows trying to figure out what
the hell that was. So a few moments later they
opened the door and they see that skillet. It was
like a sixteen inch skillet, nonstick. This thing looked like
it had been rolled up. He said. The handle was
sticking straight up, and it looked like someone had taken
the handle facing away and just roll it up like
a towel. It wasn't just bent, he said, something they

(23:03):
twisted and rolled it up. He was just dumbfounded by it, right,
So as he's looking down at it and everything, he's
what the hell. So they decide now is the time
they're throwing from that direction, So they're that way. We
got to go the opposite way, so grab your rifle.
He got the radio, they had their stuff, and they
went up that rise. He said it was uneventful. On

(23:25):
the way. It was very nerve wracking because his wife
was like, really going faster and he's low down and
you need to stay. She was like, screw this, I'm
going to get up there because I get it from
what Alice said. She said she felt like her fight
or flight had kicked in and it was flight. She
wanted to go. Tommy's trying to be strategic, tactical, retreat,
try to get up there. But they made it up
there uneventful outside of some weird noises way off in

(23:47):
the distance. They were moving so fast they couldn't make
it out when they got up on that rise. Tommy said,
on the way up, he's constantly rubber necking around him.
Once they were out in the open, tundrat, this butte
or whatever in front of him. As they're going up,
he would look back periodically and he wasn't seeing anything.
So when they get to the top, he was a
little more calm. He had a lot more area he
could see, and he didn't feel confined in some of

(24:10):
the thicker parts of the trail where the brush came
right up on the trail. So they start radioing, and
it was within two minutes the same pilot that had
dropped them off happened to be nearby enough to get
their signal, knew where they were and start flying a
little closer. He was going somewhere else with some different passengers.
So they're like, hey, we need an emergency pickup. It's

(24:31):
not a medical emergency, but we need an emergency pickup.
So their pilot friend was like, hey, yeah, no problem,
let me get these people dropped off. I'll be right back.
Be ready. About forty five minutes they figured it out
all that, So they're sitting up on this rise for
about a half hour and they got to go back
towards the cabin, and then from the cabin, the trail

(24:52):
leads off to the area of tundra where this plane
has easiest time landing. As they're contemplating how they're going
to do that, Tommy's we're not going to go straight
back towards the cabin because these things where they were
throwing the stuff from was basically straight in front of them.
As the cabin and then it was coming off, they're
not seeing anything. But they didn't want to go that way,
so they decided they're going to go down and skirt

(25:13):
around to make it to the same area where the
plane lands, and they had everything with them that they
had brought, so they had the game plan. It was
about fifteen minutes before they know the pilot will be there,
and they know they have a little bit of time
to get over there. Tommy said he didn't want to
get there too quickly and have to wait any longer
because they would be a lot closer to the area
of this activity where they were throwing shit. He got

(25:35):
it all figured out and they start off. Now I'm
leaving out the part they did have a dog with them.
I'm leaving that part out. It's just unnecessary. We'll just
leave it at they had a dog with them no longer.
So they get around. When they make it to the area,
he said where the plane was going to land. As

(25:56):
they were getting closer to it, they could hear the
plane coming, which was a big sense of relief. So
they get over to the area. He has Alice on
the ground behind him and he's standing guard over her,
looking in every direction he can, in the direction that
all this stuff had happened. Their friend. The pilot comes
flying in and he had to go and circle around

(26:17):
because the wind was blown towards their back. Got of
land into the wind right. The pilot flies by, is
at low altitude just coming in, did a little wing
wave and gets a little more elevation for his turn
to come back around, and then all of a sudden,
the plane's just circling there, and they're just like, what
the hell is he doing? And they assumed maybe he

(26:37):
had a radio call. He wanted to keep elevation so
he can transmit a radio call for whatever reason. So
he said the plane circled about three times, and y'ror like,
what the hell, come on, let's get out of here.
The circle three times comes back across, going away from him.
They're like, what the hell is this? And then all
of a sudden, he's gained elevation, circle back around and

(26:58):
comes down in real, real low, coming back the same
direction he had just went off from right. But they
hear him slowing down and powering up and climbing again.
So he circles up out of their view from where
there all these shrubs were and stuff, comes back around
and lands. When he lands, his eyes are big as
golf balls. They're loading up and their pilot friends get

(27:19):
the hell in, Get the hell in. What the hell
is that over there? What holy shit? And they're like,
I don't know. He starts telling them what was going on.
He was like, get in, tell me when we're in
the air. So they climb in, turns around, has the
taxi down, turn around, and take off into the wind.
When they're turning around at the end of taxi and
I understand this isn't just some groomed runway, and he

(27:39):
has tunder tires on for a reason. So he gets
down the tail as he's spinning around, and the piper
kind of hangs up a little bit. No one wanted
to have to get out and push it up out
of this little drawer or whatever. The pilot just gave
us some juice and pulled the tail out and they
got lined up. Alice gets Tommy's attention and is pointing
off to their right because the cabin is about forty

(28:01):
five degree angle from where they were sitting. It was
right over there, in essence, where this thing was throwing
stuff from was almost immediately off to the right. But
at about one hundred and twenty yards or so, she
gets his attention and his pointing, and they can see
two dark figures in the willows, real low to the ground,
just watching, and so they're powering up and Tommy's they're

(28:22):
over there. They're over there, And that's when a pilot
friend was like, hold on, they take off, they gain elevation,
he said, probably to about three four hundred feet, starts
banking off to the left. As he's banking off the left,
he starts talking and he goes, they were squatted down
over there. They were watching you guys. They were watching
you guys. That's why I circled around the pilot commitsd
telling them, Yeah, every time I come out this direction,

(28:44):
I usually see him closer to the koyakuk. They'll be
out in the marshmall run off into the trees. But
I've never seen them that close, never seen them that
close to a building or whatever. I want to thank
Tommy and Alice for sharing. And again, the reason I
moved their experience forward is it seems like this season
and it may be a more awareness, I don't know,

(29:04):
but it seems to be an uptick in activity going on.
So be aware at your hunting camps, be aware where
you're picking berries, be aware. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
I opted to leave the animal part out of it,
the dog part, just because when I was hearing it,
I just I can't relay that. It's just too much.
Just no, it's not good. What I wanted to share

(29:27):
with you today comes from Randall. Randall is a trucker
up here in Alaska. He's had some interesting things happen
over the years. This particular incident happened he was running
just a regular pickup truck back up to Fairbanks for
a friend because he had to go up there anyway
to pick up his main semi truck to transfer goods

(29:49):
down to Anchorage and whatnot. Whatever he was doing. Randall
left his buddy's house, which is down glenn Allen real
early in the morning. This was earlier this season as
a matter of In fact, this happened in mid August, and.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll be
right back after these messages.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
As he was leaving his friend's house, his friend said,
don't wreck my truck, being a smart hour because it
is a brand new truck. Randall's, hey, look, I'll run
it in the ditch, just joking with his buddy. Of
course he didn't mean it. So he leaves glenn Allen
approximately six am. It's definitely light out. He's going down
to Richardson. He had just passed the Tope cutoff. He's

(30:33):
just head north, just enjoying the scenery. It was a
pretty clear morning, so he was getting to see a
round saw some caribou cross the road up ahead. He
said it was about a half mile away. When he
noticed the group of caribou crossing, he slowed down because
he wasn't sure because sometimes they come out in different areas,
all along the same corridor. So he slowed down because
he didn't want to wreck his buddy's truck. Randall said

(30:54):
that he got an overwhelming feeling to stop, like he
just got this sense that he needs to stop. He
followed his instincts. He slowed down. He stopped, he said.
As he's sitting there, he's looking in his roomy to
make sure no one's coming up behind him or whatever.
And he was like trying to figure out why he
felt he had to stop. As he was sitting there
pondering it. He's a smoker, so he lit up a
cigarette and he rolled down his buddy's windows and he

(31:16):
stepped out of the truck and he's just standing there
looking down the road make sure no traffic was coming.
As he's watching these caribou off in the distance, he
sees another group come across right a little closer to
him and he goes, Okay, that's probably what it was.
My sixth sense, my spidy sense kicked in. I'll stand here.
He decided he's gonna jump in the truck, pull it
off the side of the road, and just watch down
the ways because he didn't have to start his trip

(31:38):
until the next day in Fairbanks, and he had plenty
of time, so he figured, all right, I'm going to
take this minute and enjoy nature and just view it.
So he pulls the truck off to the side so
he doesn't impede traffic, and he's smoking his cigarette, and
he's looking down the ways and he's seeing groups cross
the road here and there, and he sees a main
group crossing and he's watching it and all of a sudden,
closer to him, about a little for one hundred yards away,

(32:00):
he sees three of these cariboo just haaring across the road.
One of them stumbled, tumbled over, stood up, lost. This
bearing turned back around, followed its buddies and took off.
So he's like, wow, that was weird. There must be
a wolf pack or something on this herd of caribou
working him or whatever. He goes, I'm gonna get a
little closer, so he puts out a cigarette again. His
buddy's truck is brand new. He didn't want to smoke

(32:22):
in it and whatnot. So he jumps in and he
starts heading down the road. He covers that rough leep
one hundred yards or so when he stops again off
the side of the road, just to get a little
closer to the action. He wanted to see if wolves
would come out or if it was a bear. He
didn't know. He's sitting there and the sun's out. It's
probably just similar to what it is right now, you
know what I mean? He said. As he was watching,

(32:43):
he was listening with the windows down to see if
there's howls or growls or any of that kind of stuff,
right because he was like really into it now because
there's action. As he's sitting there, he hears a howl,
but it's not a holl he ever heard before. Very deep,
very guttural. I sound more like a roar howl kind
of a mix. That's the best explanation he had. He
didn't even attempt to recreate it. As he's sitting there.

(33:06):
Oh that was weird. That's probably a bear, But I
never heard him that loud and so he decides, yeah,
I'm going to go down the road a little ways further.
So he goes down a little further because the noises
he heard were further off up to his left, roughly
at about his ten o'clock position. As he's sitting on
the road, he pulls up about another couple hundred yards,
stops and he sees another small group of caribou just

(33:26):
bolting across the road. Boom boom. He said there was
about ten of them roughly that just they were just
darting faster than he'd seen the other ones even moving.
So he's, okay, here's the action. He figured he was
going to see something. So he's slowly creeping forward in
the truck because he wants to be as close as
possible and potentially witness it firsthand. So he hears this

(33:48):
growl again, but this time is directly off his door,
like straight out the window. Because he's focused up ahead
of him, it comes directly off of his left hand side.
He said he sat up and turned because he was
really looking like this, holding on to the wheel, and
as he looks in turns he sees his dark figure
looking at it, and he said it was forty feet away,

(34:10):
had to been ten foot tall, looked narrow at the shoulders,
but it was so big. It was probably a lot
wider than it seemed, but in comparison and perspective, it
looked skinny. And he was like, what the hell are
you looking at? Like, he didn't know what else to say, right,
So that's seeing what the hell are you looking at?
And it disappears and he hears thrashing and crashing, and
it's moving away from him, but along parallel with the road,

(34:31):
going the same direction he's facing. So he sits there
and he's trying to figure out what the hell did
I just see? It's not computing, he said. He sat
there a moment and then he started thinking about Bigfoot,
the Harry Man and whatnot, and he was like, no,
it couldn't be because he had heard about the stuff
and seeing it here and there, but never really put
too much into it because he never had any first

(34:51):
hand experience, being busy driving truck. It wasn't on his
radar really, So he decides, Shit, I'm just gonna get going. Hey,
it was nice seeing the care but I don't know
what the hell's going on here. So he starts going.
He said, honestly, he stepped on it. He gunned it right.
I'm not trying to laugh because he was a bit
traumatized by it. But he starts hauling hass in this

(35:12):
brand new truck, now gonna understand, is literally a brand
new twenty twenty four. His buddy had gotten it earlier
this spring, Chevy Silverado high Country. Nice truck, really nice truck.
So he's gunning it. It's just comical the way me
and him had the discussion. I'm not making light of
the trauma behind it. But he's gunning it. And he

(35:32):
said it was chirping and barking as he was hitting
the gas real hard. At about forty yards in front
of him, two caribou darts. So he starts hitting the
brake and then this tall thing he had just seen
moments before goes bolting across the road on all fours
because he was hauling ass right, and he was catching
up to that forty yard distance real quickly. As it
came out on the road. He hits the brakes and

(35:55):
hits the ditch right. Oh man, poor guy, he said,
he hit into the ditch. The way it dropped down
about ten twelve feet on that side and then hit
the bank coming up down in the ditch. He said
that it totaled his friend's brand new truck. He couldn't
even get it out of the ditch. He was able
to straighten out a little bit in the ditch and

(36:16):
drive forward a little bit, but now he's stuck. He
has no self service in that particular stretch, and now
he has to go on foot to call for help
or wait for a vehicle to come pass by and
get a ride from them. So he opted not to
wander around too far from the truck, but he got

(36:36):
up further up on the ditch side and was looking
across the road, listening for anything, and just waited there.
He said he waited about forty minutes, sitting on the
edge of the asphalt there, smoking cigarettes like crazy panic
because he doesn't know if this thing's coming back, if
there's more of them. He had no clue. One thing
he mentioned is when this thing came on the road.
He said, it was like two gallops with this thing,

(37:00):
and it looked real weird the way it was articulating
his limbs, and it was just boom gone. He said,
it was real, real fast. So he's head on the swill. Well,
finally this lady comes by and she was able to
give him a ride. He had to go and call
a Toechuke let his buddy know. His buddy was pissed.
But when he got to him face to face, he

(37:20):
explained what happened, his friend believed him. His friend actually
brought up, hey, I've seen crazy shit before. Luckily it
was insured. Randall paid the deductible. His friend got it
squared away. It took until about a month later, so
his buddy just got his truck back not too long ago.
That's what happened with Randall. Another thing, there's a lady,
her name was Gwynn. She was a flagger that same

(37:41):
stretch on the Richardson And this was a couple of
years ago now, So Gwenn she was flagging. She was
right up on the crew that was working on the road.
They were patching asphalt or doing something along those lines,
and she was flagging. When they started off, they were
pretty close to her and they were setting out cones
and all that, standing there setting up holding up the

(38:01):
slow sign waiting slow on traffic down because there was
construction going to be going on about a half mile
down the road. She was supposed to just stand there
till they set up and they moved closer to them.
She said, as she was standing there, she wasn't even flagging.
There was no one around. As she was standing there,
all of a sudden way, she's holding her sign pink
a rock hits it. She was like, what the hell
is that. She's looking around. There's scrubbrushing some trees further

(38:25):
back from the road, but there's nothing immediately surrounding her.
So she said that was weird, thought nothing of it
after a minute, just thought it was strange, felt a
little weird about it. She sat there for about another
forty minutes, she said, until she really got this overwhelming
sense that she was being watched, and it really bothered her.
She said that she started shaking. She couldn't really understand why,

(38:49):
because she'd been doing this for years now, all over
the state, on the roads in remote places, won't see
cars for hours type of thing, and standing there by
herself for hours, never nothing instead of a bear two
or a moose. But nothing made her feel that way, right,
So she decides, I'm going to go over my car.
She gets in her car, she's sitting there. She was
playing some game on her phone just to kill time,

(39:11):
keeping an eye on the mirrors and waiting to listen
to her radio to when she can move closer and
bring some of the stuff with her or something along
those lines, so just work related stuff. As she's doing that,
she noticed a shadow move behind her mirror and then
move again, so as she's playing her game, it catches
her eye and she looks up, and then she sees
the shadow move again, but it was so close to

(39:32):
the back of her car she couldn't make out what
it was, so it startled her. So she rubbed her
next around and sees this darkness move off the road,
and she's trying to look behind in her pillars or
walking her way, and she had a bunch of stuff
in her car, so she couldn't get a clear sight,
but she saw bits and pieces of this dark mass moving,
and she didn't know what the hell to do, so
she started up her car. The way she backed up,

(39:55):
she had to back out onto the road, otherwise she
would slide down in the soft shoulder of the road
into the ditch. So she backs out and she looks
off to her right hand side and she saw something
very similar to what Randall did. She said, it was
very tall, seemed blanky, skinny. When she noticed it dropped
down out of view behind the alders and the willows,

(40:16):
she said she never felt so scared in her life.
She fully admits the only thing that happened was a
rock hitter sign. She sat in her car and she
saw dark shadows move until she saw this figure standing there,
and it was silhouetted. She couldn't make it out, she said,
if she were to guess, it was like a very
dark haired Chewbacca in stature, looked skinny in the shoulders,

(40:39):
but it was too tall to be a human. Because
she had been standing there and the brush was taller
than her off the side of the road right, she
guns it. She runs down to where her coworkers are
and she tells them what's going on. One of the
guys laugh is what, I'll ride with you. Let's go
back because they were busy. They're on schedule right because
we got limited season and up here in Alaska when

(41:00):
it comes to construction. He jumps in with her. She
runs back down the road a little ways to where
this went down, and as she's turning around, he goes stop.
He looks in the same spot and notices a dark figure.
Didn't see everything she did, but he noticed the dark
figure dropped down out of view, and he rolls down
the window because she stopped in the middle of the road.

(41:21):
There was no traffic at the time. He jumps out
and he's trying to listen and yells out hey, and
they heard. According to her and him, it sounded like
a freight train took off Wow, paralleled the road a
little bit, and then quartered away from the road out
of you. Of course, they were like both freaks. So
he jumps back in the car and said, I thought

(41:41):
you were just joking and didn't want to be alone
over here. As they were heading back to their coworkers,
they shared with the other three or four people there
what happened. They all just went huh. A couple of
them said, Hey, I've seen something weird over here near
d Nally. I saw something weird over here outside of Wassilo,
Willow whatever. So they all exchange their little stories. It
was fortunate for her. Gwynn had some people that seen

(42:03):
crazy stuff and they didn't raz are too bad other
than did it scare you that kind of stuff. I
have a bunch more of these shorter. I can't even
say either one was aggressive. Poor Randal. This thing ran
across on all fours, and I could just imagine your
buddy's just giving you a load of shit about don't
wreck my new truck, and you're like, ah, whatever, A

(42:25):
driverleg is stolen, and then literally total it. That's got
to be messed up. He said. It tweaked the frame
just enough. It messed up the front quarter panel on
the driver's side. It didn't look total, but when the
insurance agester saw it, the frame was slightly tweaked at
a certain point. They call it totaled for whatever reason.
I want to thank Randal and Gwyn for sharing their experiences.
