There Were Translucent Beings in a National Forest and They Were Mad · Pinky Boo Hauntings

  Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to Pinky Boo Hauntings. I'll be
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: your witchy host Shy, and I'll be your guide to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: all things paranormal, weird and spooky. So I'm not gonna lie.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I've only got one story for today's episode, but it's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: so long. I just know it's gonna take up all
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of our time for today, so I hope you're ready
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for this one. Also, it seems like it might be
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a cryptic story, at least that's what it's labeled as,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: so why don't we get right into it. The story
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is called Translucent Beings in the Woods. Between this title
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and the cryptic label, it made me curious as to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: what was going on in this story. I've never asked
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: anyone to believe what I'm about to say. I'm not
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: trying to convince anyone about anything. I'm only documenting what
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: happened as accurately as I can remember it. I still
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly what I experienced, and I'm still trying
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to understand. Honestly, this sounds like the most real thing
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: when starting a story, because the paranormal is hard to process.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's why people like us like when we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: can talk about it. It helps us process what we
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: experience erienced, and maybe even help us feel us crazy
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: when others believe us. January twelfth, twenty twenty three, approximately
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: three to five pm. At the time, I was living
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: alone in the mountains in Hoodsport or hoods Sport, I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: not really sure Washington. I had been clearing the path
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: through the woods to a place where I planned to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: build an outbuilding. A spring fed stream runs through that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: part of the property, and I wanted to redirect some
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of the water into a low spot to create a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: small pool in front of it. While working, I noticed
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: something unusual. Near the base of a tree i'd previously
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: cut down. There was a hole in the ground roughly
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: two feet across. Looking into it, I could see what
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: appeared to be a horizontal tunnel disappearing beneath the hillside.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking it looked like an entrance to a cave,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but I didn't pay much attention to it. I dug
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a shallow ditch and redirected the stream towards the depression
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about fifteen feet away from that opening. As the water
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: reached the depression, the ground suddenly gave away. A hole
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: opened Almost immediately, water poured into it, like a waterfall,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: disappearing underground. A rush of stell musty air came out,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: followed by insects flying from inside. Whatever was beneath the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: ground was much larger than I realized. I stood there
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: steering in to it. Oh well, now I know why
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: something came to bother you. You probably flooded their home.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know you didn't mean to, but I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: bet that's why they're pissed off. I'm talking about these
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: creatures like I even know what they could be. Something
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about it immediately made me uneasy. It wasn't like I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: thought an animal was inside. I didn't hear anything, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anything looking back at me. It was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: simply a feeling. I couldn't explain strong enough that I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: stopped what I was doing and started filling the openings
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: back in with logs, rocks, and dirt. I didn't want
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the water disappearing into it anymore. See what did I say?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You disturbed its home, and now it's pissed at you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Still I don't know what it could be yet. Honestly
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I might not even after reading this. Who knows. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: know the popular cryptics everything else is kind of outside
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of my range. By the time I finished, it was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: getting late, so I decided to walk upstream to a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: place I called my sanctuary. It was one of my
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: favorite places on the property. There were small waterfalls, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I've been building a natural pool there. Whenever I needed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to clear my head, That's where I'd go. As I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: stood up from rensing my hands, I caught movement out
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of the corner of my eye. Something black darted between
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the trees appeal from me. At first, I dismissed it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I figured it could have been almost anything, a trick
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of my peripheral vision, an animal moving through the bush.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Then I looked forward. I wasn't looking at one thing anymore.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Scattered through the trees around me were what I can
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: only describe as translucent humanoid figures. They weren't solid, they
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: weren't invisible either. The closest comparison I can make is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a cloaking effect from the Predator movies, where something bends
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the light around itself. They had the same shimmering, distorted appearance,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: except this was a movie. I was standing in the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: middle of the forest looking at them. Well, I definitely
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't know what these could be. I do know It
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: would have scared the crap out of me if I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: saw them, because not only are you being surrounded right now,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you're being surrounded by something that shouldn't exist in our reality.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: This wasn't the first time I've seen something like this.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: The previous winner, while watching a cabin further down the mountain,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: i'd seen a similar translucent figure, along with a pulsating
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: green orb that I encountered at least four different times.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Those encounters had felt calm. That's another story. Whatever I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: had experienced then hadn't made me feel threatened. This was different,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: probably because you flooded their home or at least something
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: important to them. I couldn't explain why nothing had approached me,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: nothing had attacked me, but every instinct in me was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: telling me something wasn't right. About that time, my dog
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: suddenly became alert, her ears stood up, her tail was rigid.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Then she took off into the woods, chasing something in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the same direction we'd just come from. Oh no, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: baby's senses them too, doesn't she. My first thought wasn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that she was chasing whatever I was seeing. It was mine.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I assumed she picked up on a scent of a cougar.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Or a bear living out there. That was the logical explanation.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would be the more logical explanation. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you're seeing translucent beings right now. I don't think we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: need to worry about logic. I drew my nineteen eleven
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and watched where she disappeared. She ran straight back towards
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the area where I'd uncovered the cave, and I wanted
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to see if anything would come back out. Nothing did,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: because they're already out in the woods right in front
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of you. Duh. That dog was probably just running for
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a life, as you probably should have. She eventually returned,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but the feeling I'd had hadn't gone anywhere. The entire
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: area felt different. It's difficult to explain because there wasn't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: anything I could point to and say that's why. There
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: was no sound, no smell, no obvious danger. It was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: just an overwhelming sense that I didn't belong there anymore.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: For the first time since I moved into this property,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: my sanctuary didn't feel like a sanctuary. I decided it
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was time to go home. I get the feeling that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: those beings were making you feel that way to get
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you away from that cave. I keep joking about it
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: being in their home, but it very well could be. So.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It would be like if you found a bear cave
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: or even someone's home, human or animal, they'd want you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to get away from their home. It seems like that's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all they're doing. If you catch yourself wondering why I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't completely freaked out about these figures, it's because experience
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like this haven't been entirely unfamiliar throughout my life. I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen anything quite like this except for the previous winner,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but the paranormal wasn't new to me. I have multiple
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: stories from the mountains alone. I don't know whether any
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of them are connected, but explaining all of them here
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: would turn into a novel. Shortly after I saw the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: translucent figures, I had also seen what appeared to be
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a large woman's head. It was translucent as well, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that's probably another story. Well, now I need to see
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if I can find that story, because I want to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hear that one. I left my sanctuary, and while back
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: towards the RV. The further I got from the creek,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the more I tried to convince myself there had to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be a reasonable explanation for what I've just seen. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: wanted it to be my eyes playing tricks on me.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I wanted it to be anything that fit within the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: ways I understood the world. By the time I got home,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I still didn't have an answer, but I also wasn't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: ready to jump to conclusions. I could see you trying
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to convince yourself it was just your eyes playing tricks
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: on you, dude. Come on, you've seen these things moreultiple
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: times randomly at that. I don't think it's your eyes,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: but that's just me. I went inside and settled in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for the evening, like I normally would. I try to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: put everything out of my mind and move on with
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: my night. But I couldn't shake the feeling they had
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: followed me back from the sanctuary. It wasn't panic, it
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't even fear exactly. It was simply the feeling that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: something wasn't right, the kind of feeling you can't explain
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: because nothing around you appears to be out of place,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yet every instinct tells you to pay attention, and you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: should listen to that voice, cause even if you don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: know for sure why it's screaming at you, it's probably
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: still trying to protect you from something, or you just
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have anxiety disorder, who knows. Later that evening, I opened
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the window behind my couch and set they're smoking. It
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: was the only window that wasn't covered. The rest of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the RV had already been sealed up for winter, so
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it was my only view outside. I would never open
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a window in the woods in the dark. I mean
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be in the middle of the woods to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: begin with. But still, the first thing I heard was
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a loud crack from the trees just to the right
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of that window. It wasn't a small branch, it sounded
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: substantial enough that it immediately caught my attention. I stopped
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and listened, expecting to hear an animal moving afterwards, but
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: everything became quiet again. Please God, close your window and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: cover that bitch up. You are stressing me out right now.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: A few minutes later I heard another branch break, then another.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: As the night went on, it kept happening. The sounds
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: came every few minutes, sometimes four to six times, with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the end ten minutes, and continued for hours. What stood
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: out to me wasn't that the branches were breaking, It
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: was that they were breaking within roughly a fifty foot
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: radius around my RV. As the sound continued, they seemed
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to get closer to the RV well. I remember thinking
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that if whatever was making them was actually moving through
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the trees, maybe a gunshot would scare it away. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: fired a single round into the hillside to the left
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of the RV, where the branches breaking seemed to be happening.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: At that moment. I listened, expecting the sound to move
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: away or stop altogether. They didn't. Okay, first off, I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: don't know how dark it was at this point, but
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: can we just not shoot a gun into the woods.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: What if it was a person that could have killed someone?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And second off, I'm not surprised. I get in the moment,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you probably were just trying to rationalize all of this.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But of course a gunshot wasn't going to scare these
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: things off. If anything changed, I couldn't tell. Living alone
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in the mountains, I was used to hearing trees, animals,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of strange noises. I kept trying to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: explain it away. Maybe branches were collapsing under their own weight,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe deer were moving through the timber. Maybe I was
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: connecting unrelated events because of what happened earlier that day.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it all is connected, which is definitely what's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: going on. But again, I get it in that moment,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the fear is gonna make you try so hard to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: rationalize everything. It's almost like the brain is trying to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: protect you. Then I started hearing tapping on the outside
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of the RV. It sounded like something metallic striking the exterior.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The tapping continued on and off throughout the night, while
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: branches kept breaking in the woods around me. I sat
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: there listening, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: for either one, but nothing I thought of fit what
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I was hearing. I didn't have power at the time.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Inside the RV, it was completely dark, none of my
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: flashlights were working, and the only view I had outside
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was through the open window behind my couch. And I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: still wish you would close that thing. I decided to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: try recording it. I grabbed my phone, but instead of recording,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it started glitching. It wouldn't function correctly. Then it shut
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: itself off. I remember being angry because the one thing
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I wanted was a recording of what was happening outside,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and suddenly my phone wasn't cooperating. At the time, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: didn't think that ment anything. Of course you didn't. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: didn't assume it was connected to what was happening outside.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Looking back, I can't say whether it was a coincidence
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: or not. I only know what happened, but think it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't a coincidence. It seemed like those beings are messing
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: with you, maybe even trying to scare you off. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: kept looking through that one open window, expecting to finally
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: see a deer, a bear, or anything that explained what
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I was hearing. I never saw anything. The branch breaking continued,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the tapping continued, and by morning I was no closer
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to understanding either one than I had been when they started.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: By the following morning, I was exhausted, I hadn't slept,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and I was relieved to see daylight. Everything looked normal again.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The trees stood where they'd always stood, the creek was
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: still running. Nothing appeared disturbed in the light of day.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The previous night almost felt ridiculous. It's amazing how quickly
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: your mind can begin explaining away something that seemed impossible
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: only a few hours earlier. I walked the property to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: see if I could find what had been making those
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: noises throughout the night. I had heard branches breaking every
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: few minutes. The first crack had come from the trees
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just to the right of the window where I was smoking.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I found broken branches about two inches thick that were
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: still partially attached to the tree and still covered with
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: green needles. They weren't dead branches or little twigs. When
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I reached the place where I heard the first break,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I turned and looked back towards the RV. From there,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I could see the exact window where I'd been smoking.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: As I stood there, I noticed something else. The tree
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: beside the one with the broken branches had what looked
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: like a face of an angry man formed into it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: It appeared to have a scar on its left eye.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: What caught my attention was that it was facing directly
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: towards the same window with a clear line of sight.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, I might have an idea what this could be,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: but I kind of want to wait because something could
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: change my mind later on in this story. If not,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: then I'll tell you my theory of what I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: they are. Even if my mind is changed, I might
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: still tell you what I was thinking. I took several
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pictures of it. When I went back inside, I created
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: an image of the man's face on my laptop and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: placed it over the photograph of the tree. When I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: lined up the two images, the figure matched. The face
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I created was perfectly symmetrical, and it still lined up
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: with the one I was seeing in the tree that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: didn't resemble ordinary paradolia. Paradolia usually depends on vague shapes
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and suggestion. This seemed much more exact. Outside of the window,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I had several barrels stacked together. They blocked most of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the lower view from inside of the r V, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there was a gap near the top, about a foot high,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: where I could still see into the woods. Standing next
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to those broken branches, I realized they lined up almost
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: perfectly with the opening. I went back inside and looked
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: through the gap above the barrels. The broken branches were
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: sitting almost exactly in the line of sight. I don't
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: know whether any of that ment anything. It could have
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: been a coincidence. I only know it stood out enough
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: that I still remember it. Over the days that followed,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed. I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't looking for monsters, and I wasn't trying to convince
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: myself that something extraordinary had happened. I simply no longer
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: experienced that mountain the way I always had before. Every
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: unfamiliar sound caught my attention, every movement in the woods
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: made me stop and look. Most of the time there
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: was nothing there, but the feeling that something was different
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: never completely went away. I still think you angered those beings,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and they're probably keeping an eye on you. I stopped
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: going outside. It wasn't because of the weather. It's because
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I genuinely believed there was something outside that I didn't understand.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what i'd seen. I didn't know whether
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it posed any danger. I didn't know whether bullets would
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: matter if I encountered it again. Yeah, bullets wouldn't do
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: anything against these things, maybe piss them off. But I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't willing to walk back into those woods until I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: understood more about what I experienced. I spent nearly three
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: weeks inside the RV trying to find anyone describing what
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I witnessed. I searched every combination of words I could
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: think of, until I eventually found videos of people describing
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: translucent figures in the woods that looked remarkably similar to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: what I'd seen. Many of them compare the appearance to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the cloaking effect from the preastor movies. Others referred to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: them as the glimmer Man. That search eventually led me
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to discussions surrounding Missing four one one. I noticed people
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: repeatedly talking about National forests, cave systems, and unexplaining disappearances.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: That caught my attention because I lived alone on a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: heavily wooded mountain within the Olympic National Forests, and I
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: had just undercovered what appeared to be some kind of
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: underground cave or tunnel system beneath my property. Whether any
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of those claims were true, I had no way of knowing.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I only knew that parts of what people were describing
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: sounded disturbingly familiar. While all of this was happening, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: left comments beneath several of those YouTube videos describing what
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I was experiencing in real time. Those comments are still
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: there to day from January twenty twenty three. They don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: prove what happened, but they do show that I was
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: documenting my experience while it was happening. Because I wasn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: leaving the r V, I eventually had to improvise just
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to get water. I tied a shoe string to a cup,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: lowered it out the window, scooped snow from outside, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: pulled it back in so my animals and I would
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: half drinking water without stepping outside. When I finally did
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: step outside again, I saw something that has stayed with
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: me ever since. There was a circle scratched all around
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the RV. It continued underneath my truck instead of going
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: around it. There were no tracks anywhere. From that point on,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I started documenting as much as I could. I didn't
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: trust memory alone to preserve the details. Every strange event,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: every photograph, and every observation became part of the same
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: question I've been trying to answer since the day the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: cave collapsed. The following weeks weren't as active, but strange
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: things continued to happen. Even after everything hit quiet down,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It became strong enough that I eventually found myself talking
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: out loud into the forest. I wasn't yelling or demanding anything.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I was just making peace with whatever might have been there,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: if anything was out there at all. One day, I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: walked back to the sanctuary near the water. I noticed
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a branch shaped like a small tree standing upright in
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the ground. It had been pushed into the soil deeply
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: enough that it remained standing on its own, almost as
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: though it had been intentionally planted. That immediately caught my attention,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: because I had recently started planting a garden around the property.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: My first impression, whether justified or not, was that it
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: felt almost childlike, as though something had seen what I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: was doing and was imitating it. I realized how that sounds,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and I don't present it as fact. I'm only describing
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the impression I had at the time. Before accepting that idea,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I tried to find a more ordinary explanation. I looked
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: above the area to see whether a branch could have
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: simply fallen and landed upright. I couldn't find a realistic
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: way that it could have happened. There weren't any branches
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: directly overhead, and the location didn't make sense for one
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to fall there naturally. I knelt down and pulled the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: branch out of the ground to see how firmly it
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: was embedded. It took considerably more force than I expected.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: The soil was rocky and muddy beside the creek. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't the kind of ground where I would expect a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: branch to bury itself simply by falling. After examining it,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I placed it back exactly where I found it. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: left everything I discovered in place. I started noticing other
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: branches or pieces of branches appearing in my garden beds individually.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: None of them prove anything in a garden isn't extraordinary
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: by itself. What stood out to me was where they appeared.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: They didn't seem to belong where I found them, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I couldn't come up with a satisfying explanation for how
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: they had gotten there. I'm not saying some unknown creature
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: placed those branches there. I'm also not saying I can
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: explain them. All I can honestly say is that at
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the time, my intuition kept telling me they have been
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: intentionally placed. I repeatedly tried to come up with ordinary explanations. First,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I wanted those explanations. I simply couldn't find one that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: satisfied me. All right, So my mind was definitely not changed.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: As for what I think it is, it sounds like
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you might have come in contact with some forest spirits.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: You probably saw them before this encounter, because they were
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: maybe just checking you out. It seems like you were
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: pretty respectful of the land before, which is why they
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: weren't bothering you before. But because you accidentally flooded the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: underground cave, it's very possible they took it as disrespectful
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: on your part. I know you didn't mean to, but
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: maybe that's how they took it. Hell, maybe them tormenting
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you that night was a warning. Same with the face
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in the tree and the circle around your RV. They
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to make it clear they were there and they
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: were pissed. I wouldn't be surprised if you starting a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: garden might have helped appease them. Maybe even talking to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: them help calm them down too. The stick in the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: ground could have been their way of saying they appreciate
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the garden, or maybe just a peace offering. Even them
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: putting the sticks in your garden could be seen as
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a good I just hope you keep being nice to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the spirits within the forest and show the woods respect well. Guys.
• 31:10

• 31:14
