Speaker 1 (00:05):
So what's not waste much more time? You're gonna kick
things off tonight. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm ready?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
All right. This is from a user named Jico Aragoma.
He posted a couple of stories that happened to him
in his family's cabin out in woods, and this is
one of his stories. When I was very young, I
lived up in the densely forested mountains of the Northwest.
(00:35):
In those days, my parents still lived together, and I
saw my sisters frequently. There are many adventures we had
up in those mountains. I recall many hikes, playing in
the mud and seeing a lot of deer. My father
is a craftsman by trade, a real jack of all
trades kind of guy. At the time, we were planning
(00:56):
to build a treathouse, but it was never developed beyond
the main platform. We had several picnics up on that platform.
I do recall one night climbing up there by myself.
It was a summer night, just before sunset, wanted to
watch the stars. I was as fascinated by the constellation.
As the sun sank below the distant peaks, the first
stars came to light, and then the rest followed. It
(01:21):
was truly a sight to behold. I sat out there
for hours, watching the stars drip slowly across the night sky.
I was about to head down for the unique when
I heard strained sounds out in the woods. I strained
my eyes to see into the shaded brush between the trees.
There was movement. It was slow moving, but it was
(01:43):
moving towards me. I could also hear a strained sound,
like a sort of pushing rattle. All the hairs on
my body stood at attention when I saw the creature.
It was a lanky thing crawling on all full its
limbs bent in an unnatural way, as if it had
(02:04):
no bones. It had wild and unkempt hair all over
its body. Most terrifyingly, it had massive shimmering eyes that
scanned the area. I set wide eyed and shaking at
this crawling thing. At that moment, in the house, a
(02:26):
light came on. The thing was almost as if it
was pulled back into the woods. At that point, I
immediately ran inside. Can't live in those mountains anymore. A
lot of good memories from those days, but I can
never forget what I saw that night. I don't think
any of us can wow. So that reminds me of
(02:48):
a couple of the previous stories I had talked about
like a month or so ago, now, like the weird,
lanky looking deer creatures with like the spidery limbs and stuff. Yeah, okay,
got questions coming in already. I wonder how they could
tell it was crawling and did they describe the face.
They do describe the face, because I think it was
a little too dark for him to see the face.
(03:09):
He just described it as being very hairy, and it
looked like it was like kind of like crab walking,
I guess from what he described it. A little bit
there towards him, and he could see the eyes that
the eyes were glowing or appear to catch all the
light and reflect.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And of course I am always multitasking here. So he
was near a house when this happened, right, because you
mentioned the light.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He was actually all right. So he had a platform
for a uh what's it called treehouse right next to
his cabin that he lived at or there vacation and that.
So he was up on that platform and the light
of the house is right next to him.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Basically, why was he up there at that time? Again,
he wanted to watch the stars and that's stargazing. That's
when he packed up on some movement.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, then he heard that weird shushing sound it made
as it was going towards him.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Like a like a three pointer going in or kind
of sish, you know, pushing or sush what like. So
it must be going like gotcha, and it was. I'm
sure he could he hear it stepping on stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, he did say he kind of heard like
going through the brambles and stuff. I think in that
toar Sorry, someone suggested in comments towards something they asked
of YouTube, we looked up skinwalkers, and yeah, skinwalker's being
a big thing. He said. He did look up that
he wasn't certain that it was just by what he
(04:39):
just what he seeing and what other people described skinwalker being.
Uh so this to me really seems more like that
one creature which was always on the western side of
the country and the northwest and uh stuff like that.
So yeah, this might be a different creature altogether.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He's looking down at it with vantage point though he's
above it, and he sees it down on the ground. Yeah,
sees it coming out of the tree line towards him.
See there's a tree line. Then there's mountains off in
the distance. Yeah, gotcha, And he has an advantage point.
He's looking down. He sees this thing coming. Does this
thing see him?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
He thinks, So he says he describes it as coming
towards him, So he thinks that it was definitely sees.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Him coming towards the stand he was in.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, but then once it sees that light, it kind
of like pulls back.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So somebody inside, assuming a family member or somebody.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Probably going into the kitchen or something.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, it flips on the light in the room and
then it's you said, it's like as if he got
pulled back physically into the tree line.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, like yanked back with such force as almost as
being pulled back.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
M you think got something to do with Uh, somebody's
asking a good question. Could it have been a person possibly?
You know, you know, people are weird. They might crawl
out of the woods like that. The only thing that is,
you know, I would say he was a younger kid.
I don't know if he mentioned an exact age here,
but he was definitely younger, and so maybe he's misremembering
(06:09):
the glowing eyes, but he described them as being very
large and glowing, so it's amazing how people see so
well in the dark.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'm wondering too if it was a person. But it
seems like you would know. Why would a person come crawling.
I guess they're list they're trying to really sneak up
to you. Yeah, he had, Like he said, there was
other things that stuck out about it though, they like
wasn't very human like, Yeah, he said, describe the arms
and legs bending as if there were no bones in them. Yeah,
And that it had uh yeah, extragly hair all over it,
(06:41):
so maybe they were almost like rolled up, you know,
like you can't really do with your bones. And he said, Harry, Yeah, yeah,
you just said that. You use the term Harry, like
hair everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I believe he described it as being all over the
body of a double check that.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I like, how we ask you all these questions that
may or may not even you would never even know
because you didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Even Yeah, wild and unimped hair all over its body,
not just me, all over its body. Maybe big Foot
was crawling like a really gangly, creepy eat bigfoot.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You think the light could actually hurt it or was
just afraid of.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Its I that's a good question. I was assuming it
was just afraid of there being more people, Like maybe
this thing isn't particularly physically capable of overpowering the adult human,
but maybe a small child it could take.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And the skin walker seemed like they wanted.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
You to come to them, Yeah they would.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
This thing was sneaking up on him.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, they usually try to get you to come into
the woods.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Wow, that's pretty creepy, though. It's something you wouldn't forget,
that's for sure. You probably you're gonna sit the rest
of your life wondering what the hell did I see?
You know, you'll you'll probably never know. All right, See
we got any more comments? Okay, we're all caught up
on the anybody you got any questions? Any better? You
didn't now because we're about to move on. But I
think that to me, it's definitely frightening. And I wonder
(08:02):
what when he went inside and he told them what
he saw, what they thought. What would you say if
somebody come in the house and they're like this happened.
You know, they're big, you're full of it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, if it's a little kid, you're probably tell them, oh,
you need to go to bed.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, here's sleepy little baby. You wouldn't automatically.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Probably say it was an owl.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
The gray or the grayhorn owl. Is just like in
Kentucky at the alien sighting.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh, someone said, probably think they were on something. Yeah,
maybe I don't. I don't know. It's crazy though. I
wonder what time did he say it was?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, he said it was past dark because he had
watched the stars come out just past dark. Okay, well
it's nighttime then, yeah, and uh, he is during the summer,
so it'd be later in the day.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, sun takes a walk. Yep, yep, so it's late.
But who knows what time exactly? I don't know. I'll
be curious. Didn't seem like it meets all the criteria
of skinwalker though, from my expert opinion of hearing three
stories from me, you have skinwalkers.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, Like I said to me, it sounds more like
the other thing, oh, which people just call it. Not deer.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, the not deer. That's the greatest story in the
history of mankind. It's not a deer, that's all, you know, right,
be anything else, we'll move on. That was a good one.
That was a good way. That's a good way to
start it off. Somebody said, crazy stuff happens.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
At two am.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I always thought it was like three am.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Was that hour?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You know, crazy stuff can happen at any time. I
think that's what I'm learning from this, All these stories,
and I've got one that shows you crazy stuff can
happen anytime. Jeff Townsend media sees.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You good night, and the question is do I stay here?
Will you be back? Are you gonna come back?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Will you be back?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Are you coming back
So what's not waste much more time? You're gonna kick
things off tonight. Are you ready?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
