• 0:31
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into today's stories. In twenty sixteen,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: twenty one year old Darren Mitchell was living in southeast
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Texas in a town called Navasota. He was serving in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the US National Guard. He was the proud father of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a one year old little girl, and he was engaged
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to the little girl's mother. Anyone that knew Darren knew
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: his main goal in life was to support his little
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: beloved family. While he personally really wanted to go to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a trade school, he ended up putting his dream on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: hold to raise money so his fiancee could go to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: nursing school, and their plan was after she completed nursing school,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Darren would then raise more money and go to school himself.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That spring, Southeast Texas was hit with record rainfalls. It
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: seemed like for Darren every time he went to and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: from work, the sky was always gray and the road
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was always wet.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: But of all the.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Thunderstorms that passed through that area that year, there was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: none more powerful than the twenty four hour thunderstorm that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: began on May twenty sixth. That afternoon, Darren was on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: his way home from work. He was traveling along Texas
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: State Highway one oh five. It was raining so hard
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that his windshield wipers literally could not keep up with
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the amount of water hitting his windshield, and so he
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: eventually just had to slow way down just to make
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: sure he.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Didn't crash into anyone.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He looked around him and the fields and the ditches
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: next to the road were already filling with water because
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the ground was already completely saturated from all the rainfall
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: over the past couple of months. Before long, Darren found
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: himself stopping right in the middle of the highway behind
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this huge row of traffic. Apparently there was some significant
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: flooding up ahead on the road and people were hesitant
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to drive through it. And so after a while, when
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this huge row of traffic was just not moving and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the rain was just continuing to pour down, Darren started
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to worry he might be in an emergency situation, that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this could be a flash flood scenario, and so he
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: called his brother and he told him that he was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: stuck on Highway one oh five because there was flooding
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: up ahead, there was flooding behind him. He couldn't really
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: go anywhere, and so his brother asked him, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do, And at some point
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Darren said, Hey, I can actually get out my window,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so I'm fine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'll talk to you later.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But after that nobody heard from Darren, and later that afternoon,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: when Darren didn't make it home, his family got really
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: concerned and they called the police, and so that night
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a search was launched to find Darren, but there was
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: no sign of him.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But the next.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Morning they did discover Darren's blue pickup truck that had
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: flipped over. It was off the side of the highway
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: near a river. That had been created by the floodwaters.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Darren was not inside of the vehicle, but twenty four
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hours later they did discover his body. He had drowned
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and he had drifted one mile downstream of his truck.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The family was obviously devastated by this horrible loss, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they just could not reconcile how he had been on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the phone with his brother saying that he was going
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to be just fine to just a couple.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Days later being found dead.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And it would turn out there was actually a witness
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that watched what happened to Darren. She had been caught
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: up in this flash flood as well, except she was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in a vehicle that did not get swept away, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so she was watching Darren as the floodwaters raged around
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: his vehicle, and she said he climbed out of the window,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and he got into the bed of his pickup truck,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and then from the bed he moved up to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: roof of his truck. And at this point the waters
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: began pulling his vehicle, and so his vehicle became unsteady,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and from her perspective, it seemed like Darren did not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like his odds on the roof of his truck. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so he climbed back inside of his truck, and then
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes later, his vehicle was dragged
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: into a deeper section of the water and it flipped
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: upside down and was pulled.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Under and Darren did not re emerge.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: With this information, Darren's family was able to figure out
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that when Darren climbed back into his truck.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Right before it flipped over, he posted.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Something to Facebook that now looking back at it is
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: unbelievably haunting. Randy Weaver was a college dropout and a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: former Army Green.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Beret, which is the Army's special forces.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: He and his wife, Vicky were religious fundamentalists and deeply
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: distrusted the government and believed the end of the world
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: was imminent. In the early nineteen eighties, they began hoarding
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: guns and began making plans to live in some secluded
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: area off the grid. In nineteen eighty four, Randy, Vicky,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and their children moved into a cabin they had built
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: themselves overlooking Ruby Creek and Idaho by choice. They had
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: no electricity and no water. After receiving information that Randy
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: had made threats against the President Ronald Reagan and other
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: government officials, the FBI and the Secret Service began investigating him,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: although no charges were ever filed against him. In their investigation,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they discovered he had ties to the Aryan Nation, which
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is a white supremacist group.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So in nineteen eighty nine, when Randy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Inadvertently sold two illegal weapons to undercover atf agents, they said,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: instead of arresting you and sending you to jail, you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: can actually become an informant on the Aryan nation. But
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Randy said he wasn't tied to the Aryan Nation and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't do that, and so they indicted him for making
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and keeping illegal weapons. After being released on bail in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, Randy missed his court date and so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a warrant was issued for his arrest. The US Marshall
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Service was now responsible for bringing Randy in, but given
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: his significant weapon arsenal and his anti government stance, they
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: assumed he would not go easily, and so they decided
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they would launch a secret surveillance campaign of Randy, his
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: family and where they lived to gain some intelligence on
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: what they did day to day and find the right
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: time to go up and apprehend him. So in early
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, secret surveillance teams were set up all
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: around the Weaver family cabin, and what they found was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Weaver family. Despite being extremist, they mostly kept to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: themselves and they definitely were.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Not aware they were being watched.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The only reason the marshals didn't just go up and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: apprehend him was because anytime the Weavers were outside of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: their cabin, they were always armed. A few months later,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in August, as the surveillance teams were getting ready to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: set up for the day to gather more intelligence on
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Weavers, the Weaver dogs took notice of the surveillance
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: teams and started charging into the woods, barking like maniacs,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and Randy, along with his friend Kevin Harrison, was staying
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: with them, and Randy's teenage son Sammy, took off after
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the dogs, not knowing that they were going to be
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: running straight into a government surveillance team, and when these
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: two parties encountered each other, a firefight ensued that left Sammy,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Randy's son dead, along with their dog dead, and one
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of the marshals, William Degan, was killed as well. Who
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: shot first and who shot whom would later be hotly
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: debated by all the survivors in the courts and in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the media. Immediately after the shooting stopped, Randy and Kevin
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: turned around and ran back up to the cabin to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: take cover. Meanwhile, the surviving Marshals ran out of the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: forest and they told their boss what had happen. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: their boss is like, this is going to turn into
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a standoff. We need this to end right now. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: so he called the FBI, and he painted a picture
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of the Weaver family and Randy specifically as this enormous threat,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that it had been this unprovoked attack on the Marshals,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and that they got to come in force to put
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: an end to this thing. And so the next day,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: hundreds of FBI agents, huge vehicles and helicopters, they all
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: showed up in this little area in Idaho getting ready
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to do battle with the Weaver family. Because the FBI
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: had been told the Weaver family was this huge threat,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they authorized all of their snipers to shoot any armed
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: adult without warning them. Normally, the FBI, if they see
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: someone who's armed, they would yell at them to stop
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: what they were doing, put their weapon.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Down, warn them, unless, of course, this person is actively.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Shooting at them. Then of course the FBI is going
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to shoot back. But if it's just an armed person
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: standing there, the FBI can't just engage them. But in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this situation, the FBI said, this threat is so big, we're.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Changing the rules.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So you had all these FBI snipers all around the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Weaver property that are all amped up.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: They're getting ready to engage the enemy.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: They're off save finger on trigger, slack out, ready to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: engage the first adult they see. And so it stayed
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like this for quite a while, a total stalemate, until Randy,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Kevin Harris, and Randy's teenage daughter Sarah decided to leave
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: their cabin and go down to Sammy to pay their respects.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But Randy and Kevin were carrying weapons, and so after
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they left the cabin, they walked a little ways away and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Then snipers opened up on them.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: In that initial volley of fire, only Randy got hit
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in the shoulder, and so Randy, Kevin, and Sarah they turned.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They start running back towards the cabin to take cover,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and standing in the doorway up the cabin. Inside the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: cabin is Vicky, Randy's wife, and she's standing there holding
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: their ten month old daughter, and so Randy makes it
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: inside Sarah makes it in the front door. Kevin is
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the last one to go through the door, and right
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: as he's going through the doorway, the sniper had his
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: sights set on Kevin and he fired and missed. Kevin
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: around went through the door and it hit Vicky squarely
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in the head and it killed her instantly.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Adding insult to injury.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The FBI did not know they had just killed their mother,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and so after the shooting stopped and the door had
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: shut and the Weavers are back inside the cabin, the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: FBI began calling out to them, saying, missus Weaver, come out.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Don't you want to protect your kids? Come out and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we'll get you guys pancakes and you can sit with
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: your kids.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You got to get them out of there. But Vicky
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: was dead. They just didn't know.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, the FBI went out and got a highly decorated
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Vietnam War veteran who had similar views to Randy, and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they sent him in to try to convince Randy to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: stop this and surrender, and eventually he got Randy to.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Do that so no more blood was shed.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Later, an investigation would show law enforcement that was handling
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: this case made a number of really critical mistakes early on,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the first big mistake being the miscommunication between the marshals
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to the FBI about how big of a threat the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Weaver family really posed. Now, they certainly were a threat,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but they were not such a big threat that they
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: required hundreds of FBI agents and helicopters and armored vehicles.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The second critical mistake was when the FBI authorized their
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: snipers to shoot at armed adults without a warning. That's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: almost certainly why Vicky was killed. In the end, despite
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: having a plethora of charges against him, decided that Randy
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Weaver was only guilty of not showing up.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: To that court date.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Amid intense federal scrutiny of the Ruby Ridge scandal, the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: FBI's number two person was demoted, three other agents were suspended,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and one was sent to jail for trying to cover
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: up the mistakes the FBI had made during this case.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: As for the Weaver family, they were given a three
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: point one million dollars settlement by the government, and Kevin
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Harris had all charges dropped against him and he won
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a six figure settlement.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Of all the pictures that came.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Out of Ruby Ridge, there's none more famous than this
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: one taken by one of the surveillance teams of Vicky
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: just before she was shot by that sniper. Scattered across
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the North American continent are many ghost towns, places that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: used to be vibrant and alive that are now dead
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and abandoned. In these places, you can find old churches
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and buildings and schools that are usually in a pretty
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: significant state of decay. The reasons the town might die varies.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because a new railroad or highway is put
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in that by passes the town, or the town has
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: just exhausted all of their natural resources, which were the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: original draw to the town.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Mining towns are a good example of that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Other reasons are wars, natural disasters, political wranglings. There's a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of reasons why towns just suddenly stop existing.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But there's one ghost town in North America that has
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a really unique and very dark reason for why it
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: ultimately was abandoned, and that town is.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Portlock, Alaska.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Port Lock, which is also called Port Chatham, is located
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: on the farthest southwestern tip of the Kenai Peninsula.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: It's easily one of the.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Most beautiful areas in all of Alaska, but it also
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: happens to be very remote, and Portlock, specifically, even by
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Keennais standards, is considered extremely remote. You can only get
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: there by boat or by bush plane. The town was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: technically founded in seventeen eighty seven when Captain Nathaniel Portlock
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of the Royal Navy landed there, but it wasn't really
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: turned into a real settlement until the early nineteen hundreds,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: when commercial fishermen built a cannery there. By nineteen twenty one,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the town's fishing economy was doing so well that the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: US government believed they would be the next major commercial
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: fishing hub, and so they actually established a post office there.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Everything seemed to be going great for port Lock until
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties, when rumors began seeping out along the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Keenai Peninsula that there was something.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Wrong with port Lock.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Men from this cannery town were going missing at an
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: alarming rate, and the few that were found again were
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: always found dead and mutilated in a nearby lagoon.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Initially, the townspeople believed these were.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Bear attacks, but the natives of the Keenai Peninsula that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: found out about what was happening in port Lock, they
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: stopped by and they said, those are not bear attacks.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Those are almost certainly attacks by a creature we call
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the nantina, which means half man, half beast, and they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: are tall, two legged, hairy creatures that live in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: forest right near you. Now, of course this just sounds
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: like folklore, but when you consider the fact that from
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen thirty to nineteen fifty dozens of Portlock residents disappeared
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: in that forest or were violently killed and then dumped
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in the lagoon right outside of the forest, makes you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: wonder what's in the forest. But since none of the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: people who went missing were ever found alive again, there
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was never any good description of what it was that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was causing them to disappear in the first place.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Well, with the exception of one case.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: In nineteen forty three, John Meyer, who was a resident
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of port Lock, was at his campsite. He was crouched
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: down when he felt something leap onto his back and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: start pummeling his head and hitting him on the side,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and he kind of went into the fetal position. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: then at some point his dog started barking and caused
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: whatever was on his back to get scared and run off,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And so John has been badly beaten rolls over and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he looks towards the tree line and he sees this enormous, tall,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: hairy man running.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Into the woods.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And so John gets up and he stumbles his way
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: into town to try to get help, and he's able
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to tell someone what happened to him before he ultimately
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: succumbs to his injuries and dies. After the John Meyer incident,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: another group of Portlock men were up in the forest
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: doing some hunting when they discovered these enormous eighteen inch
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: long tracks, and they followed them to a clearing where
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it looked like there was this epic death struggle that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: clearly two huge, huge animals had gotten into a struggle. Here,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: there's blood everywhere, there's pieces of what looked like a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: bear or maybe a moose.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And then these.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Tracks continued out of this clearing and went right up
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the mountain, and the men did not dare follow those
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: tracks to see whatever it was that emerged victorious in
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this clearing. Even the Alaskan newspapers began speculating that something
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was off about Portlock. This was more than just some
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: crime being committed, that there's something happening there that we
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: can't understand. And so by nineteen forty nine, when people
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: were still going missing mysteriously in the forest, and then
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: other people were turning up dead and mutilated in the lagoon.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The townspeople said, enough, this is an unsafe place to live.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: We don't know what's causing this, but we have to leave.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And then practically overnight the town evacuated, leaving behind most
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of their possessions. The only person that stayed a little
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: bit longer was the postmaster because he had to wait
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for the post office to be shut down, and he
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: said it was horrifying that he would see things walking
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in the trees, and he would hear these horrible sounds,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and so he was eager to get out of.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: There, and so in early nineteen fifty he was allowed
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: to go. That was it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: The population of Portlock went down to zero after they left.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: None of the people from Portlock or any of their
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: family members.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Ever went back to Portlock.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So the only people that have really ever gone back
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to Portlock are people that unfortunately wound up there, like
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies when some fishermen got caught in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a storm and so they sought refuge in Portlock. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: after setting up their camp, they saw something huge walk
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: past them in the tree line, and it apparently was
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: so terrifying that they literally packed up their camp, went
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: back in their boat, and then went back out into.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: The storm to avoid whatever it was they saw.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Besides the fishermen, the only people that have gone to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Portlock are people that want to come face to face
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: with whatever it is that drove the people out of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that town. But to put in perspective, how few people
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: do that. There's almost no modern photographs or videos of Portlock,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but there is one very eerie modern photograph of this
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: building that's right in the heart of Portlock. It's one
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of the very few buildings that didn't collapse, and it's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: located right next to the forest where many of the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: men who went missing were last seen. And it's also
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: not far from the lagoon where many of the dead
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: men and dead people that were taken were found. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: even if you don't believe there's some non tina running
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: around the forest support Lock, you have to understand that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: something was killing and taking these people in the forest that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You were looking at right now, and to date.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: We still have no idea what it was, which means
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: this is one of the creepiest pictures you will find
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: on the internet.
• 16:26
