Top 3 SCARIEST run-ins with unknown predators Missing 411 (Part 20) · Crime and Horror

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Every year, hundreds of people go missing under baffling conditions
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in the woods of North America. One former police detective
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: named David Politis has investigated thousands of these strange disappearances,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and he documents what he finds in his incredible book
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: series called Missing four one one. Today, we're going to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: look at three cases from the Missing four one one
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that might shed a light on what's behind all these
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: strange disappearances. But before we get into today's stories, if
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you're a fan of these strange, dark and mysterious delivered

  Speaker 1: a cold drink. While they're away, hide a large raw
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: salmon in their ace while a large raw salmon. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: can feel it, I feel it coming on. While they're away,

  Speaker 1: so you don't miss any of our weekly uploads. All right,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. West Townshend is a rural
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: area on the east side of Glastonbury Mountain in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: American state of Vermont. This is significant because that places
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: West Townshend in the so called Bennington Triangle, which is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: apparently one of the most haunted places in America. The
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: triangle is a loosely defined area that encompasses the ghost
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: town Glastonbury, which used to be a small logging community
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: centered on the eponymous mountain in southwestern Vermont. The town
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was abandoned at the end of the nineteenth century after
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the logging boom died down, so as a result, the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: greater Glastonbury area that West Townshend is certainly a part
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of is now untouched pristine wilderness that, even by Vermont standards,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is incredibly rugged and remote. The Triangle has earned its
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: spooky reputation due in large part to the alarming number
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of unexplained disappearances that have occurred there over the last
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred years. Furthermore, over those one hundred years, there
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have been dozens of sightings of the so called Bennington Monster,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: which is apparently this eight foot tall creature that roams
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the mountains of Glastonbury, and some people think that creature
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is behind many if not all of these strange disappearances.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: On November twenty third, nineteen forty three, thirty seven year
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: old Carl Herrick and his cousin Henry decided to go
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to West Townshien to do some deer hunting. At some
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: point during their hunt, the pair got separated, and Henry
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: spent some time yelling for Karl and looking around for him,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't find him, and so he assumed he
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: must have gone back to their camp. But when Henry
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: got back to camp, it was empty, and Henry waited
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: around for a little while for Carl, but he had
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: this sinking feeling that something was wrong, and so relatively
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: quickly he left to get police. Police show up, they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: launched the search for three days. They combed the entire
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: area and there was just not a sign of Carl anywhere.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: On the third day, Henry discovered Carl's body. He was
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: lying motionless, face down and a clearing in the woods. Initially,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Henry thought maybe he was still alive, so he ran
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: over to him and rolled him over and very quickly
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: realized that no, Karl was deceased. However, there weren't any
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: obvious injuries to Carl's body, he had some minor scratching
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on his arms and on his hands, but that was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: about it. Henry looked around the area and he found
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Carl's rifle that was loaded, leaning up against a tree
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: seventy feet away from where Karl was. Next to his
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: rifle on the ground was an expended shellcasing. Also around
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Carl's body were apparently huge bear tracks. The official cause
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of death was baffling. Carl apparently was squeezed to death
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to the point where his rib broke and punctured his lung,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So the theory became Carl must have been out here
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: by himself. He encountered a black bear. He fired one
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: shot at the black bear, thinking it was down, he
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: walked over to check, and the bear attacked him and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: squeezed him and killed him. The end, but not so fast.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: If Carl encountered a black bear and fired one shot
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: into the animal, based on the one found shellcasing, that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: one shot is not going to be enough to put
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that animal down, or very rarely is one shot gonna
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: be enough to put down a black bear. And Carl,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: being a hunter, he would know that and he would
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: want to keep some distance with his weapon up aimed
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: at the animal in case he needed to fire again.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But even if Carl was really confident that one shot
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: had taken the bear down, well, why would he risk
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: his life by checking on the animal to make sure
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it's down without his gun? Why did he place it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: against a tree and then walk seventy feet over to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this animal that, if it's not dead, it poses an
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: enormous threat to you. You're all alone and unarmed with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a huge bear that you've shot. No one's gonna do that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You're gonna carry your gun. But even if all of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that happened, that Carl, unarmed, approach this bear thinking it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was dead, but the bear's not dead. He's lying in wait,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and he leaps up and attacks Karl. Even if that happened,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Black bears don't squeeze people to death. They might scratch
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you and bite you and rip you to pieces, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they don't squeeze you to death. And Carl only had
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: light scratching on his wrists and on his hands. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: did not have any signs of a traditional bear attack.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Oh either. This is the first time in the history
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of black bears that a black bear squeezed a person
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to death, or something else squeezed carl. But what kind
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of an animal is one so strong it can squeeze
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a man's chest to the point where it breaks his ribs,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and two happens to be roaming around the Bennington Triangle.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Makes you wonder. Ape Canyon is a gorge on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: southeast portion of Mount Saint Helens in the American state
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of Washington. The canyon is so named after a group
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of miners alleged that ape men aka bigfoot attacked their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: cabin there in nineteen twenty four. And if you want
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to learn more about that specific event, I covered it
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on a YouTube channel in an earlier video. It's right here.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It's called Scariest Bigfoot Attacks and I'll also include a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: link in the description. And while some people believe there
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: are literally ape men running around this gorge on Mount
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Saint Helens, there's never been a confirmed sighting. However, there
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was an event in nineteen fifty that forced the general
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: public to come to terms with the idea that there
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: could be ape men running around Dave Canyon, or at
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: least a large predator somewhere out there. In nineteen fifty,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: thirty two year old Jim Carter was a member of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the National Ski patrol at a ski area called the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bowl, which is in the state of Washington. Like
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: everybody else on the ski patrol, Jim was a highly
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: skilled skier and mountaineer. In May of that year, Jim
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was a part of a twenty person climbing party from Seattle, Washington.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Their plan was to go to Mount Saint Helen's, hike
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: up above the tree line, pick a spot, and then
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: ski back down again. So the group arrives at Mount
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Saint Helens, they hike up the mountain, they reach the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: spot where they want to ski down from. They sit down,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they're putting their skis on, and Jim puts his on
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and he says to the group, Hey, why don't I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: ski down a little ways. I'll set up my camera
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: on a tripod and I'll take a picture of you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: guys as you pass, and then i'll follow you down
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to the bottom. And the group said great, that sounds awesome,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and Jim wanted to use his camera, so it was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a win win. So Jim, in full view of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: entire group as they're getting ready, he skis down a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: little ways and then turns left into an area called
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Dog's Head, which was a little bit flatter than the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: area they were in, so probably a better spot to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: set up his tripod. But as soon as he turned
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: left into that area, he was out of view of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the main group. So after a few minutes, as the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: group is getting their stuff on, they took a little
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: bit longer because they're trying to time it, so they
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: all leave at the same time because they want to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: get this picture all at once, and so they take
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit extra time they're already and then finally
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they head down and they make that left. They're going
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to pass by Dogshead specifically so Jim can take their picture,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: but when they bank around the corner, Jim's not there,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and so they're looking around and they're saying to each other,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: did he tell us he was going somewhere else? Because
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it seemed an awful lot like he was going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Dog's Head, But obviously he's not here, And so someone said, well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: maybe he got annoyed with us because we were taking
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: so long to get ready up there, and he just
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: already went to the bottom, And so they agreed that's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: what he did, and so they got back together again
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and they headed down to the bottom. But when they
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: got to the bottom, Jim wasn't there, and so they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: sat there for a few extra minutes looking up at
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the mountain and they're kind of scanning down at the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: bottom and they're looking all over the place, but there's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: no sign of Jim, and so the group started to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: get really worried and they contacted authorities. When the first
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: search team arrived, they went up to the area where
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the group thought Jim had been setting up at Dogshead,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and as they were looking around, all they could find
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: was this discarded film box, so not any film or
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: camera inside, just a box that would have held the film.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It was kind of buried in the snow. Near this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: film box, they found Jim Carter's ski tracks and they
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: were not angled south towards the bottom of the mountain,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: where the whole ski group had gone. They were angled
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: east towards Ape Canyon. And they followed Jim's tracks and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they said they never deviated. They were total straight lines,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like he was not trying to slow down. In fact,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he was trying to go as fast as he possibly could.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And at some point he began leaping over these huge
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: ice crevasses that if you miss timed, it's a death sentence.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You're going into the cravas, and he didn't just jump
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: over one, he jumped over two, three, four at full
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: speed without slowing down, and then his tracks got all
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the way to the edge where it overlooked Ape Canyon
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and he went flying off. When the head of the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: search team saw this crazy, crazy ski line from Jim Carter,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: he said to the media that the only reason a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: guy like Jim, an expert skier who would never take
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: risks like this, the only reason he would be skiing
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like this is if his life was in danger or
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if he was being pursued. So the search teams moved
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: down into Abe Canyon and for five days, seventy five
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: people combed the entirety of Epe Canyon up and back,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again. They never found Jim,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and they never found his skis, or his camera or anything.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And the whole time they were looking, those seventy five
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: searchers would report that anytime they were alone, they had
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the distinct feeling they were being watched, and it got
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: so uncomfortable for many of them that they refused to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: go back into the gorge unless they had someone right
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: next to them. After those five days of searching, almost
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: exclusively inside of Abe Canyon. They spent another five days
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: not only continuing to search Ape Canyon, but also the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: surrounding areas, and finally, after ten days of finding no
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: trace of Jim Carter, the search was terminated. The only
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: rational thing investigators could point to as the reason behind
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: why this happened to Jim was he was diabetic and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he had forgotten his insulin that day, so perhaps he
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: became hypoglycemic and he became confused and then managed to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: ski off the cliff into Eight Canyon, where he landed
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in such a way that he remained hidden, or like
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the head of the search party seems to think he
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was being pursued, he was skiing for his life. Whatever
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was chasing him had scared him so badly that he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was skiing in a straight line down a cliff, jumping
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: over ice crebasses before falling into Ape Canyon, and then
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: presumably whatever forced him off the edge went down and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: scooped him up and took him away, and that's why
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they couldn't find it. But unless someone finds his body
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or finds some other piece of compelling evidence, we will
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: probably never know for sure what happened to Jim Carter.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Somewhere out in the Sierra Abada Mountain Range lies a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: small hunting camp that's been there since the nineteen fifties.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Despite his fame, only a handful of people know exactly
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: where this camp is. But even if you were given
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: explicit directions on how to get there, you might just
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: walk past it because it's tucked away in the middle
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of the woods up on this mountain. It's just a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: small fire pit, a couple of logs around it, another
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: log set up for cutting wood, and there's some paths
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that have been beaten down over the years from its occupants.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But it's pretty much unremarkable. According to camp members. The
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: fastest way to get to the site is by horseback,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and it's approximately eight miles and it's through very rugged
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: terrain on this mountain, and it includes a four thousand
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: foot elevation game. However, this eight mile trail is not marked,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and every year it changes slightly because trees will fall
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: along the way, changing the topography. Ron Moorhead, who's one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of the four original camp members, laments the fact that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: anybody knows anything about this camp site. He wishes they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: could have kept it a secret, but he knew that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't an option after what they discovered there in late
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one. In early nineteen seventy one, Ron was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a young man and he was invited out for the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: first time through the Sierra Camp by the three founding members.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: When Ron got there, he fell in love. It was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this beautiful, natural, pristine wilderness that overlooked this amazing valley,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and they're surrounded by these huge white fir trees. There's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a freshwater stream that trickled by, and in terms of hunting,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the deer were plentiful. Ron said this campsite was the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: closest to Heaven he thinks he'll ever get. The only
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: real drawback of the site was the large bear population,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: but they always had guns on them, and they built
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the shelter out of heavy fallen timbers that they could
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: go inside, shut the door and they'd be protected from
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the bears until they left. When there wasn't a bear threat,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they slept on the ground intense In late nineteen seventy one,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Ron came back to the camp with the other three
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: founding members. They'd had a great day of hunting and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they were standing around the campfire just chatting with each other.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: When they started hearing a grunting sound not far away
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: from them in the forest. Now, typically, whenever a bear
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: came to their campsite, it was usually at night, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: they would hear it grunting somewhere off in the forest,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and as soon as they heard it, they would stop
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and they would listen to kind of confirm it was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a bear, and if it was, they would go inside
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of their shelter and they would wait for it to leave.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But this time, when they stopped to listen to confirm
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it was a bear, the sound they heard next was
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: something they had never heard before, and it was so
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: frightening they almost fell over each other running to get
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: inside of the shelter. It was like a whooping sound
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you would expect from an ape, except instead of a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: series of whoops like you would expect from an ape,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it was one loud whoop and then silence, and then
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: another creature somewhere else made a responding whoop that sounded
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: different than the first. There was at least two creatures
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that were basically speaking to each other out in the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: forest out of view. Ron would say, as these creatures
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: were howling and whooping at each other out in the forest,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the men were huddled around inside of the shelter, looking
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: at each other, like, what is that? Has anybody heard
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that sound before? And nobody knew what it was. And
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: after a little while they heard these creatures running towards
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the camp. They were pretty well off, but they heard
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: these heavy footsteps approaching. Then, so Ron and the others
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they put themselves up against these slats inside of the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: shelter where they could look out in the direction where
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: these creatures were. And they're staring out just past the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: light of their campfire, into the dark forest, and they
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: hear these things running, running, running, and they stop. They
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: don't come into the clearing. It's like they're just outside
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of where they could see. And then their tone completely changes.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: These creatures, which are now one on one side of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the camp and one on the other, begins speaking to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: each other in a language that almost sounds human, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: it was nonsensical. It sounded like an imitation of a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: human language, but not human. And so Ron and the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: others are terrified, and they're just staring through the slats,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: waiting to see this creature that's going to emerge at
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: some point, but it never does. Instead, the creatures continue
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to stay outside of the light, and they move around
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: behind their shelter out of view, and so Ron and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the others moved to the very middle of their shelter
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to get as far away from the walls as they can,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: because there are breaks in the walls. Then they're worried
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: one of these things is going to reach through and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: grab them. But finally, after hours of these creatures running
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: around the perimeter of their camp, communicating in this totally
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: otherworldly language, they started whooping again and ran off and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the night, Ron and the other
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: three stayed right in that shelter. When the sun came up,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the men were out of that camp as fast as
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they could. These are hard, rugged men, and they were
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: very shaken up by this experience, and they tried to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: talk about it, but there was just no way to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: describe what they were hearing and experiencing, and so they
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just decided they just wanted to get out of there
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: as fast as possible and they'll deal with this later.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But as soon as they got out of the woods
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and back to their homes, they didn't talk about it anymore,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: except Ron became obsessed with whatever it was that was
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: making that sound. He so desperately wanted to find out
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: what it was, and so he convinced the other three
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: members to come with him and go back to the campsite.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Except this time Ron was going to bring an audio
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: recorder and he was going to try to capture some
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: audio of these creatures. And so the four men went
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: back to the campsite. They didn't even hunt that day.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: They stayed right near the campsite. They made this big fire,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and they're all just kind of nervously sitting there waiting,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: kind of hoping it happens and also hoping it doesn't happen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: And at some point in the evening, Ron said he
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: heard footsteps way out in the middle of the forest
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and they sounded like they were running towards the camp.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: The four men sprint inside the shelter, lock it behind them,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and Ron turns on the audio recorder. Now, before you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: listen to this famous recording, here are its bona fides.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: After being recorded, Ron sent it to doctor R. Lynn Curlin,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: who is a professor of electrical engineering at the University
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of Wyoming, and he and his team analyzed it and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: they concluded that one it was unaltered, so it's not
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: been edited it's not been doctored in any way. It's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: an authentic audio recording. And two, whatever was making the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: sounds could not have been a man because their vocal
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: range was dramatically higher and lower than that of a humans.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The doctor said, based on average pitch and tracked length,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the creature that was making the sound most likely was
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: between seven foot three and eight feet tall. In addition
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to the doctor Curlin examination, a crypto linguist expert named
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Scott Nelson also pointed out that it would have been
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: nearly impossible in nineteen seventy one for Ron or any
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of the other hunters to dub the sound of their voices,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: which are on the recording, over the sounds that these
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: cretures were making, because a couple of times in the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: recording you hear both sets of voices happening at once.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That's something you couldn't have done in nineteen seventy one.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Despite numerous attempts to debunk this recording, it still stands
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: as a legitimate unedited recording, although what they were recording
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is still a mystery.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Have a listen, ok, you m.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: There's two of them across the creek at the Big Rocks.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So hard act of Paul's stund luck to talk to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: be Cocky Chambre.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Wid Shortly after this recording was made, Ron stopped hunting
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: at this camp. However, over the years he has gone
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: back several times because he's obsessed with trying to find
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: out what's out in the forest. But he says, to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: this day he still has no idea. So that's going
• 18:42
