Speaker 1 (00:17):
We walk amongst ghosts every day, be it sights of
war and strife, our poverty and horror. The twisting, snaking
paths are beautiful but can lead us to some things
undiscovered and terrifying. From the Mississippi Delta to the jungles
of the far East, the dead demand to be acknowledged.

(00:40):
This is what we do here.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome to the House of Asher. Yes, and welcome to
the House of Asher. I am your host, Steve Asher,
and happy all hallows Eve, my dear. I hope you
all are well. I hope you guys are got some

(01:06):
good plans lined up for tomorrow. Maybe some of you
guys I don't know, might celebrate it different days around
the world. It's pretty cool. Halloween is definitely definitely my
favorite holiday, so I probably should have mentioned before we
get too deep into it. You may be listening to

(01:26):
us on Spreaker. You may be listening to us through
the myriad of different podcasts providers, and also on YouTube
at Steve Asher Media. And you can also find out
about me Steveasher dot studio dot com. That's my web page.

(01:48):
You can find out about my books and my different
little things I'm involved in. I've actually been doing interviews
on other podcasts talking about my books and different things
that are upcoming, and that's always fun and it's always
great that, you know, folks reach out to me and
it's it's pretty cool, man. It's uh, it's nice. But

(02:11):
what do I want to talk to you about this evening?
Is something that's ever happened to me in all my
years and research and investigation and just being a person
that does travel old roads and goes up and down
hollers and old abandoned places. I've seen a lot of things.

(02:37):
I've seen coyotes, I could have sworn I've seen a
wolf before. I've seen cranes, I've seen all various types
of birds, everything from like the the animals you know
that are like the hundred animals, the pre animals, rabbits,

(02:57):
all these different all these different creatures. Even thought I
heard a big foot before, I didn't see it. Definitely
heard it, folks. I had an encounter the other night
with my girl Kim. She was visiting from Canada and

(03:19):
she really loves to trees her well. I was showing
her how things are really beautiful during the day, can
be kind of spooky at night, but you see everything.
You see every star out here in western Kentucky. So
I took her for a drive. We're driving around. Everything
was just hunky dory. We get turned around coming back

(03:42):
this way. I think I went and had taken her
to see like a waterfall at night or something some
super romantic gesture, you know. So we're coming back. Everything's fine.
The lights of the city between a ride around Salem
and Lola were out front of us. There was just

(04:06):
enough like pollution to kind of light at the top
of the trees. Well, I see something. First I thought
it was coming kind of loping across the hillside, because
there was a hillside and then a wall of trees.
Then the sky in the moonless moonless sky or no, no, no, no,

(04:27):
there was partial moon. Sorry. The bottom point is it
was lit up enough you could kind of see. So
here we go and I see this thing. I don't
know what it was. First I thought it was running
across the field, like I said, But as the angle
of the field angled down, it kept going at about

(04:48):
a twenty five thirty degree angle upward and onward. Didn't
make a sound. It was not a crane, it was
not a herring. It was not a sea bird, a
lake bird. It was not an eagle. It was not
a hawk. It was not a buzzard.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
It was not.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Anything of the one I'm fixing to tell you. It's
the only thing I could compare it to. Its skin
wasn't feathered, it was leathery. It was gray, and the
wings were almost like a bat, but a wings bats
or a bat's wings curve kind of rounded at the end.

(05:35):
Excuse me, this did not do that. It actually come
down into a bit of a triangle. And I went wow,
And I said, you said, yeah, yeah, I seen it,
the thing over there in the sky. I said, yeah,
what color was that to you? I said it looked gray,

(05:58):
kind of like a grayish brown gray. I said, right,
what do you think about the wings? Said it was
kind of unusual. They were pointy, kind of like a
slice of pizza, sort of a triangle. I said, that's
what I saw too. I tried to follow it, turning

(06:22):
actually off the road, almost went to a ditch, trying
to follow over with my lights, but it was gone,
and it made a weird almost rolling motion with its
wings tips up, tips down, tips up, tips down, and
like it was scooping through through water. I tell you,
and it sounds crazy even now saying I swear it

(06:44):
looked like some form of pterotactyl. I did have some
pictures and I showed it to a friend of mine.
I didn't think I caught it. She kind of closed
in and super you know, did something with the detail
and said, I think you called it. It's very weird.
I looked at different books and different websites that showed

(07:08):
how the wings mustture the body and flight, how it
would look, and it looked just like this. I had
some friends that said, well, maybe it was a maybe
it was a heron, or maybe it was a crane,
or maybe it was a flamingo, or maybe it was
one hundred different birds we don't have here. I said, no,

(07:31):
I know what the difference in these birds. I know
the difference in sounds. And also most of these type
of animals fly in flocks and groups. This was a
singular creature. Well, the first night it was. And that's
where the story gets interesting. If that's not interesting enough,
we went home. She it scared her quite a bit.

(07:53):
It unnerved me, and I said, yep, I had enough
of the woods today. We went home, Well, drove around
the next few days, half expected to see it. Was
a little triggered. I didn't see it. Well, I wrote,
went down the highway from Salem and Little Kentucky where
I live, went down to a little area and it

(08:15):
was named Banjo. I said, that's quaint. One of these
times we'll go down it. Well. A few nights later,
last night, specifically, we decided to go for a drive
man and I'm telling you about desolate. It was just
running aside of the river that runs down pass Smothlin
in the quarry. And we drove and we drove him.

(08:38):
He drove him, He drove and we hit gravel, gravel road.
We go back to black Top, he hit more gravel.
We were just manned. We were so far out. I
was a little uncomfortable. I felt, you know what I'm
saying that it was this would be a perfect place
for a car to break down and bigfoot or something

(08:59):
to get you. She Kimmy was laughing, saying, yeah, this
is prime, this is prime UFO abduction location. I was like, well,
thanks for that.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
I needed that.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
So anyway, we drove and we started around back, heading
back toward Lola. We saw something. Now I understand the thing.
We saw before. Honest to God, I would have to
gauge its wings span. Anywhere from six to eight feet
is a good pretty good sized creature. Made no sound.
And this other thing we saw something. It kind of

(09:31):
came from the right. It was probably about a two
to two and a foot half wingspan, kissed the top
of my car, just at the top of the window.
You can here go flitter off, not flap off, flitter off.
I stopped the car, looked around, had my camera light out,

(09:52):
didn't see a thing. What it was just bumped us
and went on. I kind of took it as a yep,
maybe you shouldn't be here, and so we left. There
are stories safe, but places like Louisville, Kentucky and things
like that where they talk about supposedly there's gargoyles or thunderbirds.
I'm not saying it's any of that. But what a

(10:16):
I saw and then what I thought hit our car
was not local, folks, And if it was local, I'd
never seen it. It was downright freaky. And as much
as I love the woods and love going out at
night and going down gravel roads, now I've made darn

(10:40):
shirt to carry something in the car that can kind
of equal things out just in case things get violent.
But you know what, it was entertaining and I've got
a really good story to tell you guys, if you'll
have a good story to tell their friends back in Canada.
But with that being said, I want you guys to

(11:02):
go through enjoy all that sunlight, all that nice summer
weather we have in this part of the South.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
But as the.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Sun sets behind the pines and the shadows grow long,
make sure to check your back room, check out on
your car port, heck, checking that grove of woods behind
your home. God only knows what's waiting for you there.
Maybe it's a happy chipmunk, maybe it's a bloodthirsty teraradact
to want you and your family always heard the little

(11:34):
booser the softest and sweetest. But have no fear because
there's learning and knowledge therein. So don't be afraid to
go out and explore a little. You never know what
you might find or what might find you. So until
next time, my friends, stay scared.
