151. Portlock and the Nantiinaq Part 1
The fishing village of Portlock, Alaska was abandoned in the 1950s and the stories ran rabid on why everyone would leave a still prosperous and lively town. The natives told stories of the vicious creature that stalked the woods that they referred to as the Nantiinaq. The upright walking hair covered creature stalked the past and it never left. Bodies of hunters showed up in the bay, a man was found bludgeoned to death, and many witnessed this giant wildman of the woods with regularity. Rumor has it, the tension got so bad with the creature or that everyone left their established lives in order to save themselves and their families. Today we dive into the story behind Portlock and the Nantiinaq. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole!
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,560
The Kenai Peninsula is a portion
of land on the southern shores
2
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,000
of the great state of Alaska,
separating the Prince William
3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,240
Sound and Cook Inlet.
This nearly 150 mile stretch of
4
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:29,680
land provides a haven for those
in the fishing industry, and
5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080
with the Kenai Mountains
painting a picturesque backdrop,
6
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,440
it is no wonder the area is well
known as Alaska's playground.
7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Fishing, oil and tourism provide
the majority of the area's funds
8
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,920
and employment, but with
mountain ranges, lakes for real
9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,720
forests, glaciers, ice fields,
marshes, and a rather large
10
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,760
coastline, it's easy to claim
that there is something for
11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:02,030
everyone on the Kenai Peninsula,
the 15,700 square miles of land
12
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:05,870
host a population of about
58,000 people who call this
13
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:10,030
landmass home.
By comparison, that is nearly
14
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:12,990
the same size as the states of
New Jersey and Massachusetts.
15
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:16,590
Together with only one four
hundredth of the population,
16
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:21,350
nearly 4000 square miles of the
peninsula is protected by the
17
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:24,870
Kenai Fjord National Forest and
the Kenai National Wildlife
18
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:30,600
Refuge. 2 large brown bears,
nearly £1000 each, were killed
19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,640
by hunters on the peninsula in
2015 and it's £600 black bear
20
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,600
was killed by the local
authorities in 2011 after it was
21
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,320
spotted roaming the streets of
Homer, a town situated 200 miles
22
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,920
South of Anchorage.
These were just a few examples
23
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,440
of an enormous list of accounts
going back hundreds of years,
24
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320
and just goes to show that the
area easily sustains the needs
25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,910
of large animals.
So it's not too hard to believe
26
00:01:58,550 --> 00:02:01,950
that an entire fishing town just
up and left, leaving the
27
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:07,510
streets, homes and businesses
completely empty due to the fear
28
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:11,630
of a savage creature loose in
the surrounding forest that
29
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:13,470
hugged the town from three
sides.
30
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:18,110
The 4th based the water.
So there really was nowhere to
31
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:21,670
go when the town was subject to
a steady onslaught of vicious
32
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:26,150
attacks in the early mid 1900s,
with some resulting in brutal
33
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:29,950
deaths.
The creature was huge, come from
34
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:33,830
head to toe and long hair, and
walked on two legs.
35
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:37,150
Modern assumptions would match
the description of the culprit
36
00:02:37,150 --> 00:02:42,750
or culprits to a creature such
as a Bigfoot AKA Sasquatch, but
37
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:46,990
when the first man died in 1931
by the hands of the beast, it
38
00:02:46,990 --> 00:02:49,310
was best known as the Knock
Knock.
39
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:55,180
Today we travel to Port Lock
Alaska and welcome back to
40
00:02:55,180 --> 00:03:05,100
Infinite Rabbit Hole.
Bro, those are some Big Bear.
41
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:07,780
Yeah.
Holy, holy.
42
00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:10,380
Yeah.
Welcome back to the Infinite
43
00:03:10,380 --> 00:03:12,740
Rabbit Hole podcast.
I'm your host, Jeremy.
44
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:17,100
It's night.
We're going north way N Alaska.
45
00:03:17,860 --> 00:03:19,500
We're going to check out a ghost
town.
46
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,820
Not just any ghost town, though.
A ghost town that was made into
47
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:26,740
a ghost town because something
in the woods was scaring the
48
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:30,710
shit out of people and killing
them before that, Let's go ahead
49
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:34,590
and bring in the other host for
the night, Jacob.
50
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:39,070
Hello.
Ooh, interesting way of saying
51
00:03:39,070 --> 00:03:40,070
my name.
Hello.
52
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:44,270
Yeah, you like that.
Yeah, sounds so like exotic a
53
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:49,110
little bit.
I came up with that like just
54
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:51,110
now.
Wow, thanks dude.
55
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:53,710
I must mean a lot to you.
I appreciate it.
56
00:03:54,590 --> 00:03:59,690
You mean a lot like this much?
For why are my sound waves so
57
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:01,010
small?
Look at those things.
58
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:05,810
Yours are so big and girthy.
They look normal to me anyways.
59
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:08,490
Fair enough.
Yeah, the the people listening.
60
00:04:08,490 --> 00:04:10,890
Can't see that.
Anyways, doing all right, man.
61
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:14,010
Yeah, I'm doing all right.
I'm dealing with some stress.
62
00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:17,050
I'm sitting in a office, so with
moving boxes.
63
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:21,610
My microphone boom arm is
attached to my chair because I
64
00:04:21,610 --> 00:04:23,450
don't have a desk anymore
because we've been just getting
65
00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:25,570
rid of all of our garbage to
make the move easier.
66
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:27,370
So it's just.
I don't know.
67
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:30,770
Ready for this episode, though?
I hear it's something
68
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:33,090
interesting.
I mean, look for the listeners.
69
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:36,970
Jeremy wouldn't even let me look
up any information about it
70
00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:40,210
because he wanted to surprise me
with how cool it was.
71
00:04:40,210 --> 00:04:43,650
So excited for that, whatever
that may be.
72
00:04:43,970 --> 00:04:46,810
This has become an instant
bucket list.
73
00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:50,730
Destination instant.
I want to do it real bad.
74
00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:54,990
And next week's episode, we are
actually talking to a field
75
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:59,510
researcher who's been to this
place not once, but twice, and
76
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:03,230
has written one of the only
books strictly on this topic.
77
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:05,670
That's more times than you've
been there, probably.
78
00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:07,990
That is a lot.
I mean, I don't know.
79
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:10,630
I've been there a couple times
in my daydreams, that's for
80
00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:14,190
sure.
Yeah, but yeah, we get to talk
81
00:05:14,190 --> 00:05:16,590
to him tomorrow.
You get to listen in a week.
82
00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:20,510
Yeah, Take that.
Anyways, where are you moving
83
00:05:20,510 --> 00:05:24,430
to, Jake?
Oh, just a little.
84
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:28,870
A little town, about 16,000
people in it.
85
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:33,390
Somewhere close to you.
Places starts an M Yeah.
86
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,710
Might be actually working in the
same company.
87
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:39,830
Takes moving out by me for sure
this time.
88
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:41,910
Like yeah.
And this time he's not going to
89
00:05:41,910 --> 00:05:44,750
change his mind until he does.
Yep, Yep, Yep.
90
00:05:45,190 --> 00:05:46,350
We're.
Going to move out there and then
91
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:51,510
quit the podcast again.
All right, moving on.
92
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:56,870
We do have one other guest
tonight and that is our old pal
93
00:05:57,550 --> 00:06:00,830
CJ CJ, welcome back, man.
What's happening guys?
94
00:06:00,830 --> 00:06:03,430
How are you, man?
I got the smallest waves of
95
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:06,030
everybody.
No, I definitely have the
96
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:08,230
smallest ones.
I think it's just look, when
97
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:10,750
you're looking at your own
stuff, I am dead serious.
98
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:12,750
Every wave looks exactly the
same.
99
00:06:13,330 --> 00:06:15,610
But Jake's waves are real small
on my screen.
100
00:06:15,610 --> 00:06:19,930
Jeremy's are like super peaking
and mine are teeny tiny.
101
00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:23,970
All right, not one person
listening to this gives a shit
102
00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:25,930
about our.
Which try to edit this this
103
00:06:25,930 --> 00:06:29,490
audio and Jeremy's is like gain
blown out.
104
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,850
It's bad.
I just I just don't want to be
105
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:35,050
the smallest one in the room.
Nah, man.
106
00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:37,210
I'm looking at, I'm looking at
mine and it.
107
00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:41,210
I'm definitely the smallest and
it's OK Never gotten a complaint
108
00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:48,140
about the audio that is.
Anyways, CJ, CJ asked me what we
109
00:06:48,140 --> 00:06:49,660
were what we were talking about
tonight.
110
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,700
Oh, I did.
I got to do some research ahead
111
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,580
of time.
Haha, Jake, he just did it on
112
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,100
his own.
I didn't tell him to do it
113
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,860
because.
Jeremy likes me more. 28
114
00:06:57,860 --> 00:07:01,500
minutes.
That's how long the video was
115
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,140
that I watched.
Really.
116
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:06,100
Dang.
Yeah, I didn't even watch a
117
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,500
video.
I should watch videos on this
118
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:09,140
because this is it's probably
pretty cool.
119
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:14,150
So I actually went on a cruise
back in May through Alaska and I
120
00:07:14,190 --> 00:07:16,710
passed the place that we're
talking to you about tonight.
121
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:19,190
Yeah.
Did they point it out or?
122
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:22,590
Yeah, yeah, I saw it with my
physical eyes.
123
00:07:22,590 --> 00:07:23,470
I didn't.
We didn't.
124
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:25,950
We didn't get the port there.
Obviously we didn't get the port
125
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:29,350
in like any abandoned place, but
right, there were a whole bunch
126
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:34,030
of towns we went to where
certain cryptids are a very big
127
00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:36,070
deal out there.
Right on.
128
00:07:36,350 --> 00:07:37,870
I got.
I got a Bigfoot wallet from
129
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:39,390
Alaska.
You did.
130
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:42,270
You sent me a ton of pictures of
all the Bigfoot shit there.
131
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:44,710
Yeah, it's a huge deal out
there.
132
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:46,910
It was pretty cool.
Well, now we have to go.
133
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:48,630
Yeah.
Do we have to go?
134
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:49,630
We have.
To we.
135
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:51,550
Have to yeah.
There's a there's a cruise that
136
00:07:51,550 --> 00:07:54,510
goes out there and the whole
thing is a giant Bigfoot hunt.
137
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:56,190
No, that that's too
commercialized.
138
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:59,030
We don't.
Let's, let's do, Let's come.
139
00:07:59,030 --> 00:08:01,990
On I want to go with moot and
holler into the woods and scare
140
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:04,590
about No, no, no, no, no.
We're gonna do real stuff if we
141
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:07,350
go anyways.
We're gonna get eaten by a brown
142
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:09,890
bear if we go.
That's how real it's going to
143
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:11,290
be.
It wasn't that bad.
144
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:13,330
I was about 100 yards from a
brown bear.
145
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:15,410
No, no, no.
We're not going to be with
146
00:08:15,410 --> 00:08:17,770
anybody else.
We're going to be in there
147
00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:20,250
getting eaten by the brown bear
because we want it to be
148
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,410
authentic, it went the full
experience.
149
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:23,930
Yeah.
They're big.
150
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:26,490
I want to come back without a
missing, without an arm.
151
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:29,370
You're going to come back
without your soul because the
152
00:08:29,370 --> 00:08:31,130
bears going to snatch it right
out of your body.
153
00:08:31,130 --> 00:08:32,850
They're big.
Good.
154
00:08:33,770 --> 00:08:37,130
You're going to turn it into a
tightly coiled piece of shit in
155
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:42,610
the woods.
You sound like a man that has
156
00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:46,930
never seen bear poop before.
No, actually it's very clumpy.
157
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:53,090
Yeah, mostly with berries.
But anyways, for those of you
158
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:57,570
that haven't had a chance yet,
go on over to our new companion
159
00:08:57,810 --> 00:09:00,050
podcast.
That's right, there's two
160
00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:01,810
Infinite Rabbit Hole podcast
now.
161
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:06,620
Docs by Infinite Rabbit Hole is
our companion show that only
162
00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:10,420
gives you the story on the topic
we're talking about tonight.
163
00:09:10,420 --> 00:09:13,860
So you'll get none of the
chitter chatter, none of the
164
00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:17,700
bullshit and none of the name
calling, none of the opinions,
165
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:19,820
none of that.
You will only hear the story
166
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:22,740
that you can move on with your
life head on over.
167
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:24,500
That's Docs by Infinite Rabbit
Hole.
168
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,830
And also, if you're not on the
Facebook page, I made an
169
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:31,510
announcement the other day.
I have opened up all the
170
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:33,310
episodes of The Infinite Rabbit
Hole.
171
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:36,310
No longer are our old episodes
behind a paywall.
172
00:09:37,470 --> 00:09:39,390
I said screw it, just throw it
all out there.
173
00:09:39,390 --> 00:09:42,070
Who cares?
We have 150 episodes and this
174
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:45,950
one is 151.
We had growing pains and and it
175
00:09:45,950 --> 00:09:47,990
is what it is.
So just throw it out there for
176
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:50,310
everyone to enjoy.
Somewhere down the road,
177
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:53,190
sometime pretty soon we will be
opening up some sort of
178
00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:58,000
subscription based service where
we offer some extra stuff that
179
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,360
is in the works.
I can't tell you exactly what
180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,120
it's going to be.
It's going to be at some point
181
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,240
probably next year, maybe not,
who knows.
182
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,560
But it is in the works.
So get ready and stay tuned for
183
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,160
news on that.
Without further ado, you guys
184
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,040
ready to roll?
Dude, I'm so ready.
185
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,360
I'm down.
Let's go.
186
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Let's learn a little bit about
Port Lock Alaska.
187
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,380
Port Lock Alaska was first
established by a captain of the
188
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:26,900
Royal Navy by the name of
Nathaniel Portlock in 1786.
189
00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:31,380
Portlock is now one of many
ghost towns in America and there
190
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:34,380
is some confusion to many with
the name of the town actually
191
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:36,860
was.
A few different books and web
192
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:40,540
articles that I've read claim
the town is Portlock and others
193
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:43,980
call it Port Chatham.
After minimal research, I was
194
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:47,220
able to decipher that the town
was indeed officially called
195
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,820
Portlock by studying postal
records.
196
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:53,740
Chatham, however, was the name
given to the Bay that Portlock
197
00:10:53,740 --> 00:10:57,380
was settled on, which was named
after the ship HMS Chatham,
198
00:10:57,860 --> 00:11:01,620
which was captained by the famed
explorer and cartographer George
199
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:06,420
Vancouver in 1791.
I had this bit of information as
200
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:09,220
many will claim that the name of
the town is 1 or the other
201
00:11:09,580 --> 00:11:12,300
depending on where their
research came from, but for this
202
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,540
presentation I'll be referring
to this town as Portlock.
203
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:18,980
Some will claim that there were
two towns on the shores of the
204
00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:22,590
Port, Chatham Bay, but I was
unable to find any hard evidence
205
00:11:22,590 --> 00:11:25,830
to support that.
An overwhelming majority of my
206
00:11:25,830 --> 00:11:29,390
research for this presentation
came from the book Abandon the
207
00:11:29,390 --> 00:11:33,550
History and Horror of Port
Chatham, Alaska by author Larry
208
00:11:33,550 --> 00:11:37,150
Baxter and is highly recommended
if you enjoy this subject or
209
00:11:37,150 --> 00:11:39,590
subjects of ghost towns and or
Bigfoot.
210
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:43,950
In the early 1900s Portlock
became the home of a then
211
00:11:43,950 --> 00:11:47,830
state-of-the-art fish cannery
and cold storage facility that
212
00:11:47,830 --> 00:11:50,990
would prove to be incredibly
important and successful during
213
00:11:50,990 --> 00:11:54,110
the time prior to and during
World War One.
214
00:11:55,390 --> 00:11:58,590
Speaking of World War One,
Portlock exported another
215
00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:01,350
extremely important resource for
the efforts of the war.
216
00:12:01,950 --> 00:12:05,990
Over 1000 tons of chromite ore
was processed into metals for
217
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:10,030
machines and weaponry for the
use by American service members.
218
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:14,760
Besides chromite and fish, the
area is extremely rich in timber
219
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,720
and coal, which led the area to
become a major hotspot in each
220
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,480
of these industries while
successfully attracting
221
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,440
investors, workers and
entrepreneurs to give the
222
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,320
prosperous land their best shot.
Port Lock and Chatham Bay were
223
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,040
very successful and the place
was beginning to explode with
224
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,880
life and infrastructure.
That is, until the year 1950,
225
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,680
when the last resident, the
postmaster, lived in the town
226
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:51,040
entirely alone for just over one
year left, making Port Lock an
227
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,560
official ghost town.
The fishing town which has
228
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:59,640
school for grades one through 8,
Fox and Mink farms, a successful
229
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,560
cannery, numerous high yielding
mines of different resources, a
230
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,450
post office and a billiards hall
that its entire population
231
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:11,690
drained in response to the
fabled and murderous creature
232
00:13:12,010 --> 00:13:16,810
named by the local natives and
known by all locals as the Knock
233
00:13:16,810 --> 00:13:20,530
Knock.
Welcome to Port Chatham guys and
234
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:23,250
Port Lock.
What do you think?
235
00:13:25,170 --> 00:13:29,770
I wonder who owns it now?
That is actually a fantastic
236
00:13:29,770 --> 00:13:33,690
question for our guest that will
be on this show tomorrow.
237
00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:37,700
Well, with.
Well the the reasoning is, is
238
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,460
that there's a lot of ghost
towns all over the place.
239
00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:45,100
But just because they're
abandoned doesn't mean you can
240
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,900
like explore them because you
could still get hit up for
241
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:50,820
trespassing and all kinds of
stuff.
242
00:13:50,820 --> 00:13:53,260
You know you go explore some
abandoned buildings there could
243
00:13:53,260 --> 00:13:56,500
be a lawsuits in order because
depending on how long things
244
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,100
have been sitting there if you
get injured while you're there
245
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,060
and all sorts of stuff, right.
There's a bunch of legalities
246
00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:04,300
around it.
So I mean for the in the realm
247
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,160
of.
Going to explore this place
248
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,440
because of the the tales and you
know, history surrounding it,
249
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,240
which I I know you're going to
get into, but it just makes me
250
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,520
wonder like how much can you
actually do of within the
251
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,800
boundaries of the town itself?
If I were to guess, I would say
252
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,160
not a whole whole lot, because
while we were there, there were
253
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,400
a number of ghost towns that
were around the areas we ported
254
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,710
in.
And they flat out told us do not
255
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:37,430
go there, you will get arrested.
Yeah.
256
00:14:37,870 --> 00:14:41,710
They they're pretty serious up
there about not letting people
257
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:46,150
explore and well, because it's
really easy to get lost or get
258
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:48,990
hurt in places like this, and
even in the woods out there,
259
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:51,110
they get pretty strict about
those things.
260
00:14:51,830 --> 00:14:55,110
So actually, right here at the
back of the book, I was thinking
261
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:57,630
about it because I did read this
book entirely.
262
00:14:58,470 --> 00:15:03,560
Page 140, he he makes a special
thanks to the English Bay
263
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240
Corporation for allowing us
access to your land.
264
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,920
It was an amazing experience.
So there's your answer, the
265
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,880
English Bay Corporation.
So now we know who we got to get
266
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,360
in touch with.
Yeah, yeah.
267
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,680
I wonder what sort of poll you
have to have for something like
268
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,360
that, or how much money and
signing all sorts of waivers and
269
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,880
legal documents and things like
that.
270
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Yep.
Yeah, it might be worth it.
271
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Yeah, it might be.
I mean certainly.
272
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:29,630
Yeah, I was just thinking about
that.
273
00:15:29,630 --> 00:15:32,590
I was like, man, because there's
a lot, there's a lot of ghost
274
00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:34,950
towns, a lot of really
interesting history why they
275
00:15:34,950 --> 00:15:37,470
became ghost towns.
You know, sometimes it's due to
276
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:39,910
resources drying out or
whatever, right?
277
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:43,150
And then it's just not really
worth it to demolish the talent
278
00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:45,790
and rebuild because even still
where people going to work, you
279
00:15:45,790 --> 00:15:49,990
know, XY&Z, whatever, you know,
a lot of minds drying up and
280
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:52,590
things like that.
But it's like.
281
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,040
You know, and they'll just leave
him sitting like that and you'd
282
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640
think off top of your head,
well, obviously it's abandoned,
283
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,880
so no one owns it.
Well, that's not the case,
284
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,800
right?
Someone always owns that land
285
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,280
and they're more than willing to
prosecute anybody who just wants
286
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,440
to go and have a peek, you know,
if you get caught.
287
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:13,160
So of course, of course, well,
our guest will definitely know
288
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,760
how to do it because he's done
it twice.
289
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,320
There you go.
So well, twice since the book
290
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,880
came out.
Could be more.
291
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,360
We'll talk to him.
Find out, CJ.
292
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,560
You got anything, man?
Not really, no.
293
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120
I think the, I think the story
of it's pretty interesting so
294
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,640
far.
So I'm looking forward to
295
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,200
hearing your details on that.
Right on, man, you guys ready to
296
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,560
roll?
Oh.
297
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Yeah.
All right, let's jump into the
298
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,400
knock knock.
According to author Larry
299
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,840
Baxter, whose book abandoned the
history and horror of Port
300
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Chatham, Alaska.
Some say it means giant hairy
301
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,120
thing.
Some say it means half man, half
302
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,670
beast, while still others will
tell you it does not translate
303
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:58,710
well and say there are no direct
translations to English.
304
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:03,190
The indigenous people around
Port Lock refer to and directly
305
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:04,990
tell stories about the knock
knock.
306
00:17:05,589 --> 00:17:10,150
One particular telling is of a
group of hunters afloat and what
307
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:12,190
is now referred to as Dogfish
Bay.
308
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:16,030
One of the men wanted to be
dropped off on the shore once
309
00:17:16,030 --> 00:17:19,230
the sun came up so that he may
live in the forest with the
310
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:21,880
knock knock.
This was apparently a part of
311
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800
his plan from the beginning of
the hunting trip as he had
312
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,040
discussed this goal with his
wife and he had told her to stay
313
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,800
put and not venture into the
forest as he did not want her to
314
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,000
get dragged away by him or
another of the knock knock.
315
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,480
According to him, he would grow
hairy and would eventually
316
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,560
become one of the feared beasts,
and that it was her duty to be
317
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,970
with the children.
A man was spotted frequently
318
00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:51,250
around the area and the
transformation from man into one
319
00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:53,450
of the knock knock was well
seen.
320
00:17:54,090 --> 00:17:57,610
Eventually the transformation
was so strong that he no longer
321
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:01,250
spoken words, but rather in
whistles and was not able to
322
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:05,170
understand human speech.
During one particular hunting
323
00:18:05,170 --> 00:18:08,210
trip, a group of men were
roaming along the airstrip of
324
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:13,370
modern day nearby Port Graham in
search of ducks when a loud set
325
00:18:13,370 --> 00:18:15,330
of whistles erupted from the
tree line.
326
00:18:16,670 --> 00:18:19,550
One of the men whistled back in
the direction of the original
327
00:18:19,550 --> 00:18:23,110
call.
Shortly after, the men spotted a
328
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:26,150
large brown bear making its way
through the water.
329
00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:30,590
The men stood and watched as the
animal exited onto the shore by
330
00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:35,110
the airstrip and began charging
after the men turned tail and
331
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:37,950
ran back to town, where the man
who whistled back to the
332
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:41,910
original caller fell ill and the
man eventually recovered.
333
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,960
Shortly after the incident at
the airstrip.
334
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960
The creature was seen commonly
around the area of Second Lake
335
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,200
and the locals began blaming it
for the disappearances of their
336
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,440
pets and other animals.
It was believed that this
337
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,960
specific knock knock that these
villagers were seeing was the
338
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,320
man who left the tribe to become
one of the creatures himself.
339
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,280
The story is told by a native
elder named Melania Kel in a
340
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,120
YouTube video with Kathy
Brewster on the Madea, Kosovo de
341
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:13,280
Haas YouTube channel and her
native language.
342
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,920
In this video Brewster
translates word for word Melania
343
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Kells telling of the story of
the Notna 1.
344
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,240
Glaring difference between this
story of a Bigfoot like creature
345
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,880
and many others told is the
detail of a human transforming
346
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,720
into a creature.
This particular aspect is more
347
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,440
commonly seen in tellings of
spirits or creatures like the
348
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,440
the Wendigo or the Kustaka as
told by the Alaskan Tingling
349
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,130
natives.
Along with this difference,
350
00:19:42,370 --> 00:19:45,010
there are many others, such as
the common description of the
351
00:19:45,010 --> 00:19:49,090
creature using tools such as a
club or lumberjacks axe, with a
352
00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:52,650
few tellings, even mentioning
the creatures shape shifting
353
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:57,330
into another animal in order to
get away unnoticed, And Larry
354
00:19:57,330 --> 00:20:00,330
Baxter's book Abandoned the
History and Horror of Port
355
00:20:00,330 --> 00:20:05,010
Chatham, Alaska, Baxter includes
a story from a book published in
356
00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:09,290
1979 titled Old Beliefs by an FS
Pulu.
357
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,800
About local legends and the lore
of the Kenai Peninsula.
358
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,240
Written in both English and the
local tribes.
359
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Language of the Suksun.
Word for word, the story goes
360
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,560
there is a caveman in portlock.
The caveman is tall.
361
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,440
The caveman is hairy.
The caveman is a real person.
362
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,720
He didn't want to live with
people.
363
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,720
He went to live in the forest.
Soon his clothes were worn out,
364
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,040
so his body became hairy.
Soon his shoes were worn out, so
365
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,480
his feet became big.
He did not see anyone.
366
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,440
He did not talk with anyone.
Soon he forgot to talk.
367
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000
He talked by whistling.
He can see you before you can
368
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,440
see him.
He will not harm you.
369
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,720
He is like a Big Bear.
If you bother him, he will
370
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520
bother you.
And this is the story of the
371
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,480
Caveman, a port lock.
Throughout the historical
372
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,550
narratives of the knock knock,
the creatures described mostly
373
00:21:09,550 --> 00:21:12,830
the same, with the only real
difference being the color that
374
00:21:12,830 --> 00:21:16,150
is reported.
Now primarily the creature has
375
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:20,030
been reported as black or brown,
but many reports exists of the
376
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:22,590
creature being Gray or Auburn in
color.
377
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:26,470
The creature is described as
having a bad habit of kidnapping
378
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:30,710
children and full grown adults
as well as livestock and pets.
379
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:35,790
In fact, the Dina Ena, one of
the many tribes that called
380
00:21:35,790 --> 00:21:40,550
Kenai Peninsula home, called the
Creature not Tina, which
381
00:21:40,550 --> 00:21:45,430
translates to the Ones Who Steal
Us So unlike the story that was
382
00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:48,710
told just prior, Another glaring
difference between the Knock
383
00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:52,670
Knock and the Canadian Lower 48
version of Bigfoot is that it is
384
00:21:52,670 --> 00:21:57,470
extremely hostile and dangerous.
The creature was so dangerous,
385
00:21:57,670 --> 00:22:01,190
that story has it that an entire
town abandoned everything they
386
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:05,110
knew and worked towards in order
to save themselves and their
387
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:08,730
families from the wrath of a
creature whose reports go back
388
00:22:08,730 --> 00:22:12,890
further than the famed Jerry
Crew prints an incredibly
389
00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:17,410
popular Patterson Gimlin film.
All right guys, your turn.
390
00:22:17,410 --> 00:22:19,330
It's.
Very interesting story.
391
00:22:19,930 --> 00:22:25,410
A lot of native lore about this.
It's very, very cool that not
392
00:22:25,450 --> 00:22:28,970
only did this whole town
seemingly the story is is that
393
00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:32,050
this town seemingly just got up
and left because they were being
394
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:35,790
harassed by this creature.
But you have a ton of native
395
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:39,230
lore that dates back way before
even the establishment of this
396
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:43,510
fishing town.
And that's, you know, something
397
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:46,990
we we hit on often.
You know, obviously there's a
398
00:22:46,990 --> 00:22:53,390
lot of stories surrounding
animals that native tribes had
399
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:56,390
contact with all the time.
You know, how did the Earth come
400
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:58,750
into existence?
You know the difference of good
401
00:22:58,750 --> 00:23:01,030
and evil, all these different
things, or the fight of good and
402
00:23:01,030 --> 00:23:05,280
evil rather?
But that's something we always
403
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,400
hit on on this is that, you
know, these people, even if they
404
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,160
had stories that were sometimes
fantastic stories about the
405
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,840
animals they dealt with on a
regular basis, like the fox, the
406
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
wolf, you know, up there in
Alaska, probably the seal, all
407
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,480
all these sorts of things.
That doesn't mean that they
408
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,760
weren't talking about animals
that existed.
409
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,720
And again with all the reports
or all the stories, all the
410
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,350
lore, all the legends about.
Sasquatch.
411
00:23:34,350 --> 00:23:38,150
Or you know what they would call
them in their own native
412
00:23:38,150 --> 00:23:42,430
languages.
You know, Again, this is a
413
00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:45,430
fantastic story about someone
turning into one, but that
414
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:51,350
doesn't mean that those two
things aren't, you know, real.
415
00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:56,070
Obviously people exist, right?
But that doesn't mean that this
416
00:23:56,070 --> 00:24:00,410
creature doesn't exist.
And this could be their way of a
417
00:24:00,410 --> 00:24:04,170
fantastic story talking about
essentially how these things
418
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:07,610
came into existence, which was
people turning into them in just
419
00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:11,730
this one individual case.
Either way, I love it when
420
00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:17,530
there's deep Native American
legends and and history and and
421
00:24:17,530 --> 00:24:24,210
stories regarding Sasquatch or
Sasquatch type animals and
422
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:27,370
stuff.
It's just lends deeper into the
423
00:24:27,370 --> 00:24:30,880
possibility of.
Either their existence or you
424
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,880
know that they did previously
exist.
425
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,040
I think it's pretty cool, CJ
What do you got, man?
426
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,080
My favorite part was how it
turned from originally being
427
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,480
just like a hermit guy who got
furry to and like you could
428
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,040
leave him alone, he'd ignore you
to now he's snatching kids.
429
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,300
Yeah, that is such a popular
trend though.
430
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:58,860
Like we had just done an episode
on the Ozar Haller where the the
431
00:24:58,860 --> 00:25:04,100
story behind it, the fable
behind it, was that a man had to
432
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:08,460
rid of his wife in order to
marry someone more wealthy with
433
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:12,980
more political connections.
So he hired somebody who who
434
00:25:12,980 --> 00:25:16,820
studies witchcraft from his
hometown in New Orleans or New
435
00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:24,140
Orleans Nolans and turned her
into the Ozark Hallor.
436
00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:27,260
Now that's only one example.
There's plenty of them.
437
00:25:27,260 --> 00:25:31,780
There's tons of examples where
story is created, whether it be
438
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:36,220
by natives or by the 1st
settlers of somebody who got
439
00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:40,420
pushed aside by society or by
the tribe, or chose to go out
440
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:44,180
into the woods and became this
creature that haunts them.
441
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:46,500
But there must be more to this,
Jeremy.
442
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,580
How could they abandon
everything off of a story?
443
00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:53,070
There must be more.
Do you guys think that maybe,
444
00:25:53,070 --> 00:25:58,590
like, they encountered like,
say, like a Bigfoot, and then
445
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:03,190
over time, maybe somebody was
doing something they weren't
446
00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:08,430
supposed to and blamed the
Bigfoot for it, And that's why
447
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:12,430
the the story transformed from,
hey, there's this peaceful
448
00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:17,510
creature who lives over there to
oh, he's snatching babies.
449
00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:19,390
Right.
Because this person's kidnapping
450
00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:21,960
people and killing them, you
know, worse.
451
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Yeah.
I mean, we're gonna get into
452
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,600
some stuff here in a little bit,
definitely.
453
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560
If there wasn't a Bigfoot, there
was definitely a serial killer
454
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,760
about.
Because because like, if we look
455
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,640
at like with all of our Bigfoot
tails and like skunk apes and
456
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,920
all that, we don't really hear
about them snatching children,
457
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,400
right?
That's not really like a thing
458
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,200
that goes on.
If anything, especially nowadays
459
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,560
you have missing kids that are
found days later saying that
460
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,120
they were being cared for by
bears and that's not something
461
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:59,960
that bears do, right?
They're very opportunistic
462
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:06,160
hunters.
So it's like and if the if if a
463
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,480
animal behavior.
I don't think an animal behavior
464
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,770
would change like that.
Like either a bear becomes
465
00:27:14,770 --> 00:27:19,450
docile and takes care of a human
kid or a Bigfoot goes from like,
466
00:27:19,650 --> 00:27:23,170
you know, CJ is saying nice and
peaceful to suddenly just on a
467
00:27:23,170 --> 00:27:26,650
murderous rampage.
You know, I I agree it does.
468
00:27:26,650 --> 00:27:29,970
It definitely sound like, you
know, as we get into this, that
469
00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:34,170
someone was doing something
awful and then was just blaming
470
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:36,050
the Bigfoot.
Oh gosh, the Bigfoot.
471
00:27:36,050 --> 00:27:40,250
They're killing people with.
Cutting implements, you know.
472
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:44,820
Yeah, then like.
Like with Jake's mountain
473
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:47,540
gorilla episode, and he was
talking about they were at the
474
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:49,900
zoo and the lady like showed the
gorilla her baby.
475
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,100
The gorilla went and got their
baby came back, but they they
476
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:56,620
know what babies are, right?
They know what children are.
477
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:59,220
So it doesn't really make sense
that they would be stealing
478
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:02,060
them, right?
Like and are, are any of the
479
00:28:02,060 --> 00:28:04,980
great apes really known for
snatching human children and
480
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:07,540
like taking them?
It's a good question.
481
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:11,020
I don't know.
I wouldn't put it past like
482
00:28:11,020 --> 00:28:14,830
chimpanzees and stuff, but.
It more to be like to eat kids,
483
00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:19,110
but that's just that.
I'm gonna ask Google.
484
00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:22,350
That's just out of my own, you
know, opinion of how vicious
485
00:28:22,350 --> 00:28:25,750
chimps can be.
I mean, Jake, we just found out
486
00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:27,950
CJ still listens to the show.
I know.
487
00:28:27,950 --> 00:28:30,590
That's cool.
That's cool.
488
00:28:31,150 --> 00:28:33,190
Thanks, CJ Thanks for your
support, man.
489
00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:37,590
You guys ready to move on?
I wanna see what the Google
490
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:41,470
machine says for CJ.
So apparently.
491
00:28:42,180 --> 00:28:46,540
Chimpanzees and macaques will
steal human babies, but they're
492
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:48,260
like the only ones known to do
that.
493
00:28:50,180 --> 00:28:54,460
Did they eat the kids?
It doesn't say, but that means a
494
00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:56,140
chimp.
So I can only imagine that there
495
00:28:56,140 --> 00:28:58,540
was some form of violence
involved, right?
496
00:28:58,580 --> 00:29:03,580
Yeah, rough.
So then in that case, if we
497
00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:07,020
could, if we could come to the
conclusion that Sasquatch, since
498
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:10,940
it's bigger, would be more like
a gorilla.
499
00:29:12,930 --> 00:29:15,970
Or one of the, you know, other
more docile great apes.
500
00:29:15,970 --> 00:29:22,450
I mean gorillas are very was it
their, they kind of hang out by
501
00:29:22,450 --> 00:29:25,170
themselves.
They don't, you know, they'll
502
00:29:25,170 --> 00:29:28,050
roam around in groups and stuff.
But I mean like they don't,
503
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:30,450
they're shy.
They don't like getting run up
504
00:29:30,450 --> 00:29:33,130
on and stuff like that.
I mean they they will do those
505
00:29:33,130 --> 00:29:36,050
dominant displays and stuff when
threatened, but they're not
506
00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:39,770
seeking out that sort of
behavior like a chimpanzee will.
507
00:29:40,130 --> 00:29:44,400
So if we could.
Liken A Sasquatch to the same
508
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,000
sort of behavior.
Then it would make sense that
509
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,000
this wouldn't be, you know, this
would be pointed at a person, a
510
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,040
person's activity versus you
know, them.
511
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,040
Unless an extreme example
occurred.
512
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,160
Remember, we're technically part
of the great A family and
513
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320
there's a couple of us that are
pretty fucked up.
514
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,360
I mean, I don't think it's too
far of a stretch to think that
515
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,920
one Bigfoot or a group of
Bigfoot, maybe they were
516
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,730
inbreeding or whatnot and they
just or fuck, maybe they're all
517
00:30:13,730 --> 00:30:16,650
sick fucking just going out
there just killing people.
518
00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:20,930
You know that that Alaskan
wilderness is very, very vast
519
00:30:21,450 --> 00:30:26,530
and we started in Anchorage and
went all the way down and
520
00:30:26,770 --> 00:30:31,170
through the icy straight, I
think, and ended in Vancouver.
521
00:30:31,490 --> 00:30:35,330
And in every single port we were
at there was Bigfoot lore,
522
00:30:35,730 --> 00:30:38,050
right?
So for it to be across that
523
00:30:38,050 --> 00:30:40,530
entire stretch of land, you
know?
524
00:30:40,910 --> 00:30:45,070
Inbreeding seems kind of
unlikely because animals will go
525
00:30:45,070 --> 00:30:47,390
out of their way to not inbreed,
right?
526
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:50,670
Like they'll travel because
instinct drives them to mix
527
00:30:50,670 --> 00:30:52,830
their genetics and and form
stronger things.
528
00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:58,230
So I'm not so sure about the
whole inbreeding thing, but I I
529
00:30:58,230 --> 00:31:01,990
mean, there could be a psycho in
the group, but it seems less
530
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:05,670
likely because we don't really,
we don't see that as often in
531
00:31:05,670 --> 00:31:08,770
animals like that.
And like when you encounter like
532
00:31:08,770 --> 00:31:12,370
a gorilla, From the things I've
seen and by, I'm by no means an
533
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:16,370
expert in dealing with gorillas,
but like, if you're like ever
534
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,890
in, like a safari situation, if
you like, don't touch the
535
00:31:18,890 --> 00:31:21,930
babies, don't make eye contact.
Don't show them your teeth.
536
00:31:22,210 --> 00:31:25,970
Yeah, you have a relatively good
chance of not getting injured.
537
00:31:26,850 --> 00:31:29,490
Yeah, you know, don't make any
movements, look at the ground,
538
00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:31,450
things like that.
Like they they typically are.
539
00:31:31,450 --> 00:31:34,710
Like they're cool.
So it doesn't really make sense
540
00:31:34,710 --> 00:31:37,430
that there would be like a
serial baby snatcher.
541
00:31:38,110 --> 00:31:41,030
That's a that's a Bigfoot.
It doesn't like fit the MO and
542
00:31:41,030 --> 00:31:43,150
we don't really have like again,
just to revisit, we don't really
543
00:31:43,150 --> 00:31:45,710
have those legends across the
United States like Bigfoot
544
00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:49,190
aren't really known for
snatching up children, right?
545
00:31:50,670 --> 00:31:57,270
Well, I mean to say that there
is zero stories, I don't know.
546
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:01,990
I mean we just did a can, right?
Obviously they were.
547
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,680
They were pushed on in that
version, but in that episode we
548
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:14,400
also brought up Dolotop Pass,
and although although you know
549
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,240
the jury's out, we don't really
know what it what actually
550
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,760
happened in Dolla Pass.
One of the big theories is that
551
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,720
a Yeti just went batshit crazy
and just killed everybody and
552
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,280
threw half of a guy up in the
tree.
553
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,240
I mean, that's fair.
I mean, they you have stuff like
554
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,160
mad cow disease and other things
like that.
555
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,560
They can like affect animals,
make them go nuts.
556
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,480
They get a bad case of rabies
running through.
557
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,480
But like, if it was like rabies,
it would kill them pretty quick.
558
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,840
They wouldn't have time to
consistently be out there
559
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,160
snatching kids.
It wouldn't be over a time span
560
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,040
of years.
Mad cow disease was like spawned
561
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,080
by feeding cows their own meat
or something like that.
562
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,360
So I guess the.
Primate version would be like if
563
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,960
they were in such a desperate
situation that they had to eat,
564
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,000
you know, go cannibalistic and
stuff, I guess.
565
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,600
Yeah.
I don't know that that's besides
566
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,840
me.
I don't know anything about
567
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,520
that.
You guys ready to roll?
568
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,640
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're ready.
569
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,200
All right, let's talk about
Andrew.
570
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,690
In 1931, a man by the name of
Andrew Kamlock would begin a
571
00:33:24,690 --> 00:33:28,770
lumber operation with two men
from town in order to get away
572
00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:31,410
from the daily grind at the
local fish cannery.
573
00:33:32,130 --> 00:33:34,810
After three months, Andrew was
by himself.
574
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:38,850
His partners had quit, and so
did any other help that Andrew
575
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:42,650
attempted to hire from the job.
It always went down the same
576
00:33:42,650 --> 00:33:44,370
way.
The men would show up to the
577
00:33:44,370 --> 00:33:48,490
site, store their belongings and
lunches near a shady tree or
578
00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:52,810
rock, and when they returned,
their stuff was gone through and
579
00:33:52,810 --> 00:33:56,520
their food was gone.
The blame was originally placed
580
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,720
on critters such as bears or
raccoons, but the streak of
581
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,480
people giving up on Andrew and
his logging job began when the
582
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,240
trickery turned more serious and
sinister.
583
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,480
The men showed up to work one
morning with logging chains
584
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,520
ripped apart, handles to access,
snapped in half in the work
585
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,960
area.
Complete mess.
586
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,040
Originally, Andrew blamed it on
an unknown competitor, but the
587
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,090
locals knew what it was.
The natives of the area told
588
00:34:25,090 --> 00:34:27,330
stories of the creature known as
the knock Knock.
589
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:31,330
They roamed the woods at a
height over 7 feet, walked on
590
00:34:31,330 --> 00:34:34,650
two legs, and was completely
covered in shaggy air.
591
00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:38,130
And you never believed the
legend and would tell his
592
00:34:38,130 --> 00:34:40,730
workers that it was a story that
natives would tell their
593
00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:43,010
children to keep them out of the
forest at night.
594
00:34:44,210 --> 00:34:47,370
But the hired help and his
original partners thought
595
00:34:47,370 --> 00:34:51,270
differently of the omens that
had plagued the work site it
596
00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:53,909
calls Heard coming from the
forest for more than enough
597
00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:57,590
evidence to convince all of the
others that this was not a place
598
00:34:57,590 --> 00:35:02,070
for them, and eventually Andrew
decided that the job would just
599
00:35:02,070 --> 00:35:07,070
have to be done by himself.
Andrew Kamloch was found dead
600
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:10,110
with a very large piece of the
logging equipment that was
601
00:35:10,110 --> 00:35:15,030
clearly used as a weapon,
sitting about 10 feet away from
602
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:20,630
him and his very damaged body.
This particular piece of
603
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:24,910
equipment was far too heavy for
any average man to pick up, let
604
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:30,270
alone swing or throw at someone,
and resembled a small crane, but
605
00:35:30,270 --> 00:35:34,430
it also had a very large
splatter of blood on it and
606
00:35:34,430 --> 00:35:37,710
seemed to be tossed to the side
after committing the kill.
607
00:35:37,710 --> 00:35:41,230
All right, guys.
What do you guys think about
608
00:35:41,230 --> 00:35:44,510
Andrew's story?
Sometimes you're just destroyed
609
00:35:44,510 --> 00:35:46,510
by a giant piece of locking
equipment.
610
00:35:46,830 --> 00:35:50,920
Well, I tried to get a really
good description of this.
611
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,120
Maybe our guest tomorrow will
have some more input on this.
612
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,520
But from what I was reading,
basically was there was no way
613
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,800
that this piece of equipment,
the way it was sitting away from
614
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,240
his body, there was no way that
it just fell on him.
615
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,520
That's just didn't happen.
This was used.
616
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,360
It was, it was damaged as it
was, you know, coming down onto
617
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:19,450
his body or whatnot, on the
rocks or or the trunks or trees
618
00:36:19,450 --> 00:36:22,170
or whatever the hell it was
hitting on his way down, you
619
00:36:22,170 --> 00:36:26,410
know, mutilating this guy and
then tossed aside.
620
00:36:26,850 --> 00:36:31,090
I mean, if it had just fell
down, you know, where it was
621
00:36:31,090 --> 00:36:33,170
about 10 feet of his away from
his body.
622
00:36:33,490 --> 00:36:38,370
If it had fell on Andrew, it
would just be on top of him, you
623
00:36:38,370 --> 00:36:41,690
know, You'd be dead.
I mean, Andrew was dead.
624
00:36:41,690 --> 00:36:46,000
Dead like skull broken open.
Real dead.
625
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,280
Yeah.
Like, really, really dead.
626
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,960
There was no pushing this off of
him, you know what I'm saying?
627
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,800
He wasn't doing that.
He was dead.
628
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,240
What if instead of somebody
hitting him with the equipment,
629
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,320
what if they hit the equipment
with him?
630
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:08,880
That's yeah, yeah, yeah,
definitely, definitely could
631
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,280
have, that's for sure.
I didn't think of it that way,
632
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:13,330
yeah.
This because, I mean, we've all
633
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:15,610
been, we've all been in
schoolyard fights, so we've at
634
00:37:15,610 --> 00:37:18,290
least seen them a handful of
times in life.
635
00:37:18,290 --> 00:37:21,650
Like, it's not uncommon for one
person to grab another person,
636
00:37:21,650 --> 00:37:24,490
swing them around and throw
them, you know?
637
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:27,810
So if you had enough, if you if
they grabbed them by like, the
638
00:37:27,810 --> 00:37:30,890
ankles and like just started
swinging, they could get them
639
00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:34,050
off the ground and smack them up
against something pretty easily.
640
00:37:34,650 --> 00:37:36,130
I could.
Anything.
641
00:37:36,210 --> 00:37:38,130
Shoulders.
Shit.
642
00:37:38,690 --> 00:37:42,090
Fucking a Sasquatch could
probably put his fucking palm
643
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:49,890
around your chest and just just.
Slam dunk you into a piece of
644
00:37:49,890 --> 00:37:54,970
farming equipment, yeah?
Man, that'd be a hard way to go.
645
00:37:54,970 --> 00:37:56,770
That would suck.
But you know what I do like
646
00:37:56,770 --> 00:38:01,770
about this story though, is
that's more like in the
647
00:38:01,770 --> 00:38:05,850
wheelhouse of pissed off
Sasquatch behavior, right?
648
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:09,170
Like when you guys talked about
Ape Canyon, I think it was the
649
00:38:09,170 --> 00:38:11,490
Ape Canyon episode.
Where like they had like that
650
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:15,410
cabin and they shocked one and
all of a sudden there were like
651
00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:17,890
20 of them coming into the
campsite trying to snatch the
652
00:38:17,890 --> 00:38:19,650
axe out of the house.
Yeah.
653
00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:23,530
You know, you know, so this is
like, this is more believable
654
00:38:23,530 --> 00:38:26,810
than just running around
snatching up kids and stuff
655
00:38:29,210 --> 00:38:32,130
where they're like, maybe they
did something to upset the
656
00:38:32,130 --> 00:38:35,690
Sasquatch and he came in, he was
like, all right, all right, I
657
00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:39,170
see how it is and just bounces
him off the equipment.
658
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,960
And then throws his body to the
side.
659
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,720
That wouldn't be hard for a
Sasquatch to do.
660
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,240
Smash you off something and then
just cast your mutilated body
661
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:50,880
somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very true.
662
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,200
Very, very true.
Scary.
663
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,280
That's that's rough, man.
I couldn't imagine being in that
664
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,180
situation.
Well, if we're going to take a
665
00:39:01,180 --> 00:39:04,700
trip to port lock, we'll almost
certainly get an opportunity in
666
00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:08,900
that situation.
Did they check to see if his
667
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:11,260
underwear was loaded up?
Because if a Sasquatch grabbed
668
00:39:11,260 --> 00:39:13,900
me and picked me up off the
ground, immediately filling my
669
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:18,140
pants.
Even if I didn't have to know, I
670
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:19,820
don't know.
I have no idea.
671
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:22,100
Good questions.
Good questions.
672
00:39:22,540 --> 00:39:23,940
No idea.
All right.
673
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:25,820
You guys ready to move on?
Yeah.
674
00:39:26,420 --> 00:39:27,140
OK.
All right.
675
00:39:27,180 --> 00:39:29,220
All right.
Let's talk about some other
676
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:32,370
accounts real quick.
A gold prospector who had moved
677
00:39:32,450 --> 00:39:37,370
into the area in 1931 in order
to verify the claims that the
678
00:39:37,410 --> 00:39:41,690
area was rich in metals and
minerals, he had received word
679
00:39:41,690 --> 00:39:45,330
that there was a stream not too
far away that was largely
680
00:39:45,330 --> 00:39:49,970
unprospected and unexplored.
This sound like a perfect place
681
00:39:49,970 --> 00:39:54,210
to him, but a few of the old
timers weighed in and warned him
682
00:39:54,210 --> 00:39:56,450
of the wild man that lived in
the area.
683
00:39:57,230 --> 00:40:00,430
They reiterated that there was a
reason why the area remained
684
00:40:00,430 --> 00:40:03,990
mostly untouched, but the
prospector would have none of it
685
00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:07,910
and continuously claimed that
from California through Canada
686
00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:11,590
all the way to here to Alaska,
the most dangerous thing he had
687
00:40:11,590 --> 00:40:13,550
ever seen in the wild was a
Wolverine.
688
00:40:14,430 --> 00:40:17,910
So he went on his way until he
reached a wellmade game trail
689
00:40:17,990 --> 00:40:22,510
that would take him to the
Creek, and unfortunately he was
690
00:40:22,510 --> 00:40:26,220
never seen again.
Another disappearance details a
691
00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:28,820
crew of sheep hunters who had
taken off for the nearby
692
00:40:28,820 --> 00:40:31,300
mountains and never were seen
again.
693
00:40:32,020 --> 00:40:35,500
Nobody really knew them, but a
little while after they left,
694
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:38,740
bodies began showing up in the
waters around Portlock with
695
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:42,580
injuries and decapitations that
were never seen before.
696
00:40:43,180 --> 00:40:46,380
The wounds were so bad that
nobody believed that a bear
697
00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:50,340
would do such a thing, not to
mention that bears would often
698
00:40:50,420 --> 00:40:53,220
eat their kill, not throw it
into the water.
699
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:57,580
In 1905, many of the native
workers at the fish cannery
700
00:40:57,580 --> 00:41:00,740
walked out of the job due to the
fear that there was something in
701
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:04,220
the nearby woods that was
extremely malicious.
702
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:07,900
It wasn't until the cannery
brought in armed security that
703
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:12,940
the workers returned.
In 1923, Sergius Moonen and his
704
00:41:12,940 --> 00:41:17,140
girlfriend witnessed an upright,
large walking creature covered
705
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:20,860
in hair strolling on the beach
nearby.
706
00:41:22,530 --> 00:41:25,570
In the early 1940s, the creature
was spotted on the beach
707
00:41:25,570 --> 00:41:28,090
rummaging through a fish trap by
Tom Larson.
708
00:41:28,810 --> 00:41:32,410
Larson raised his rifle to take
a shot at the creature, but as
709
00:41:32,410 --> 00:41:36,570
he was focusing in, he was able
to get a really good look at its
710
00:41:36,570 --> 00:41:41,970
face and realized that it looked
extremely humanlike.
711
00:41:42,930 --> 00:41:46,450
Tom couldn't pull the trigger,
so he put his finger down and
712
00:41:46,450 --> 00:41:48,970
backed away slowly with the
rifle fixed on the creature
713
00:41:49,410 --> 00:41:51,810
until he felt he was at a safe
distance away.
714
00:41:52,740 --> 00:41:56,740
In 1948, multiple hunters were
found mutilated in the area that
715
00:41:56,740 --> 00:42:02,020
was surrounded with very large
humanlike bare footprints. 1949
716
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:05,460
marked the year that a trackway
was found of 18 inch humanlike
717
00:42:05,460 --> 00:42:08,260
footprints which seemed to be
tracking a moose.
718
00:42:08,780 --> 00:42:11,900
The footprints of the creature
and the moose merged in an area
719
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:14,860
that showed that there was quite
the struggle and the moose
720
00:42:14,860 --> 00:42:17,580
tracks ceased and the tracks
just stopped.
721
00:42:18,430 --> 00:42:20,950
But the human, like Prince,
continued for quite a while up
722
00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:23,190
the mountain before they became
unfollowable.
723
00:42:24,310 --> 00:42:28,430
In 1968, a hunter was chased out
of a nearby ravine after the
724
00:42:28,430 --> 00:42:32,470
town was abandoned by an upright
walking giant covered in hair.
725
00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:36,470
A group of hunters took shelter
for two nights in their tents by
726
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:40,550
Dogfish Bay to get out of a
rather strong storm that passed
727
00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:44,650
through in 1973.
Both nights the men claimed to
728
00:42:44,650 --> 00:42:47,890
hear something large and on two
legs, walking around and
729
00:42:47,890 --> 00:42:50,250
apparently looking into their
belongings that were left
730
00:42:50,250 --> 00:42:53,410
outside.
And in the 80s, another group of
731
00:42:53,410 --> 00:42:56,410
hunters claimed to be screamed
at by an unknown animal.
732
00:42:57,370 --> 00:43:00,290
Now, these are just a few of the
very long list of events that
733
00:43:00,290 --> 00:43:04,490
involved an upright, walking,
hairy creature in the area
734
00:43:04,490 --> 00:43:10,010
surrounding Port Lock, Alaska.
That first one didn't seem mad.
735
00:43:10,010 --> 00:43:13,100
The ordinary to me.
No, I bet that happened a lot
736
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,540
back then.
Even even today, I mean we
737
00:43:15,540 --> 00:43:18,340
talked about missing 411 and
stuff, but people go missing all
738
00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:20,980
the time.
I mean, shoot, just, I mean,
739
00:43:20,980 --> 00:43:23,740
this is very unfortunate, but
just I'll say a couple months
740
00:43:23,740 --> 00:43:30,940
ago there was a a local kid here
that was hiking and he fell off
741
00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:33,060
a Cliff or something and he
passed away.
742
00:43:33,060 --> 00:43:36,980
I mean, people nowadays we have.
Very extensive search and rescue
743
00:43:36,980 --> 00:43:40,500
teams and all sorts of stuff,
GPS trackers, yadda yadda all
744
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:42,380
the sorts of stuff.
I mean your phone can track your
745
00:43:42,460 --> 00:43:46,820
your G, PS:, location in most
circumstances, so I mean, but
746
00:43:46,820 --> 00:43:50,260
yeah, back then I'm sure there
was a lot of disappearances,
747
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:53,700
especially if you're going to an
area that has apparently £1000
748
00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:56,460
brown bears, you're going to go
missing and you're never going
749
00:43:56,460 --> 00:43:59,900
to get seen again.
Now going into that obviously as
750
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:02,740
you got past just the first
account.
751
00:44:03,620 --> 00:44:07,700
All of these seems very, very
Sasquatchy, right?
752
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:11,660
Especially when it comes to
human like footprints, you know?
753
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:15,180
And so it's like, yeah, all
right, I'll, I'll buy those for
754
00:44:15,180 --> 00:44:16,780
sure.
And if, you know, we want to
755
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:22,700
talk about some crazy single
Sasquatch or or multiple
756
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:26,100
Sasquatch, this is like a this
is a big stretch though.
757
00:44:26,180 --> 00:44:32,900
This is what like a 7080 year
stretch?
758
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Like 1905 to 1980.
So I mean, I guess, I mean, who
759
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,760
knows the lifespan of those of
the creatures.
760
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,800
So I mean, but I think this
would be more like a troop of
761
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,960
them or or whatever you consider
a pack of big feats or
762
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,320
Sasquatchs or whatever.
A murder.
763
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,520
It's a murder.
A murder Sasquatch is like
764
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,840
crows, but it could just, I
mean, in this circumstance, but
765
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,560
it could just be, you know, it's
just a group of them that are
766
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,440
just pissed off and they're
just.
767
00:45:03,020 --> 00:45:06,820
Tired of their all these people
coming in and get in the way of
768
00:45:06,820 --> 00:45:10,260
things.
Maybe with the with the stories
769
00:45:10,260 --> 00:45:13,540
that were already perpetuated by
the Native Americans regarding
770
00:45:14,060 --> 00:45:19,420
how the wild man came about and
stuff that might have put a a
771
00:45:19,420 --> 00:45:23,020
fear into the locals to where
they'd be more willing to attack
772
00:45:23,020 --> 00:45:25,740
them if they saw them.
Which would lead to that sort
773
00:45:25,740 --> 00:45:30,620
of, you know, aggression,
especially in smart animals.
774
00:45:30,620 --> 00:45:33,860
You know, animals that could.
Understand that, you know,
775
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:37,940
humans are bad and they should
be, you know, use extreme force
776
00:45:37,940 --> 00:45:41,300
to get them to leave and stuff.
So depending on the intelligence
777
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:42,980
level of the creatures
themselves.
778
00:45:42,980 --> 00:45:45,940
So yeah, I mean I could see that
it would be more along the lines
779
00:45:45,940 --> 00:45:49,780
of a group of them that are just
like anytime they they came in
780
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:54,740
contact with a human or or saw
them or saw their you know,
781
00:45:54,740 --> 00:45:57,500
heavy equipment or whatever that
they would react in a in a
782
00:45:57,500 --> 00:46:00,870
hostile, violent way.
When I was there, they were
783
00:46:00,870 --> 00:46:04,310
telling us that even 10 or 15
minutes walking in the woods
784
00:46:04,310 --> 00:46:07,710
without somebody who knows where
they're going is enough to get
785
00:46:07,710 --> 00:46:10,070
lost for a really long time.
And like when you look in the
786
00:46:10,110 --> 00:46:14,190
forest there, every single tree
looks exactly like the next
787
00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:16,030
tree.
It really, it would be super
788
00:46:16,030 --> 00:46:20,030
easy to get turned around.
I I, I buy all those stories
789
00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:22,870
except for the moose one.
Like they're just in there
790
00:46:22,870 --> 00:46:25,230
throwing hands with a moose.
I'm not buying that.
791
00:46:25,230 --> 00:46:28,070
Like that's like.
They're not fighting the moose.
792
00:46:28,070 --> 00:46:30,510
They'll fight a deer, sure, but
not a moose.
793
00:46:30,510 --> 00:46:33,470
Like that's a walking.
That's a walking cow tank.
794
00:46:33,470 --> 00:46:36,110
Like that's that's like saying
like, oh, we got Yao Ming,
795
00:46:36,110 --> 00:46:38,350
LeBron James and Shaq.
They're going to go fight the
796
00:46:38,350 --> 00:46:38,790
moose.
No.
797
00:46:38,790 --> 00:46:40,990
They're going to get killed.
I don't think they're by.
798
00:46:40,990 --> 00:46:42,190
I don't.
I don't think they're fighting
799
00:46:42,190 --> 00:46:43,590
the moose, dude.
Dude.
800
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:49,030
OK, so I specifically included
this one because of how close it
801
00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:53,430
is to my own experience with a
with a Bigfoot, right?
802
00:46:53,510 --> 00:46:56,310
And in my experience.
Year though, right.
803
00:46:56,790 --> 00:47:00,390
But I mean, I don't know.
I just pictured it, you know, I
804
00:47:00,390 --> 00:47:04,510
just pictured, I mean who The
one, the thing I saw wasn't that
805
00:47:04,510 --> 00:47:08,390
big, at least from you know what
I remember, it wasn't as big as
806
00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:12,430
everyone else explains these
things to be, you know, who
807
00:47:12,430 --> 00:47:14,270
knows the age of the thing I
saw.
808
00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:16,990
But these things have been
reported.
809
00:47:16,990 --> 00:47:19,670
I mean, I mean, honestly, these
things have been reported up 20
810
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:24,630
feet, but I mean on average
between 7 and 10 feet tall, I
811
00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:26,460
mean.
Right.
812
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:30,580
Four to to £800, right?
So big, big animals.
813
00:47:30,820 --> 00:47:35,660
I mean, you get a big 10 footer,
you know, that takes dumps the
814
00:47:35,660 --> 00:47:38,780
size of me.
I don't know, man.
815
00:47:39,740 --> 00:47:41,100
That might be a pretty good
fight.
816
00:47:41,420 --> 00:47:45,140
Have you ever seen a moose?
Yes, I have seen a moose and
817
00:47:45,140 --> 00:47:46,420
they are ginormous.
Yes.
818
00:47:46,420 --> 00:47:49,500
Have you seen what moose do to
cars when they're angry?
819
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:52,500
Oh man, I saw a video of a moose
get hit by a car.
820
00:47:54,580 --> 00:47:58,310
I don't mean to laugh.
That was, that was nuts, that
821
00:47:58,310 --> 00:48:00,590
thing, Jake, you ever seen that?
Yeah.
822
00:48:01,990 --> 00:48:05,750
Years ago I worked at a truck
dealership and they brought into
823
00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:08,950
The Body Shop a semi that had
hit a moose and the semi was
824
00:48:08,950 --> 00:48:10,820
totaled.
Oh, I'm sure.
825
00:48:11,060 --> 00:48:13,100
And I bet the moose walked off.
No.
826
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:15,100
Actually, the Moose's head was
still up in the wheel.
827
00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:16,980
Well, it was.
Not not walking off.
828
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:18,260
No.
No at that.
829
00:48:18,780 --> 00:48:20,780
Time.
No, it was a it was a tie in
830
00:48:20,780 --> 00:48:23,500
that fight.
But still, like, I really don't
831
00:48:23,580 --> 00:48:25,460
like.
Maybe if there were like 8 to 12
832
00:48:25,460 --> 00:48:28,420
of these Sasquatch, maybe they
could manhandle a moose.
833
00:48:28,420 --> 00:48:32,740
But mooses are war machines
where, like, their only natural
834
00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:36,580
predator out there is an orca.
Literally.
835
00:48:37,780 --> 00:48:42,260
I mean, I guess to.
Put credit to the story, they
836
00:48:42,260 --> 00:48:45,940
were only following the
footprints of the moose and the
837
00:48:45,940 --> 00:48:48,980
Bigfoot.
They didn't mention if there was
838
00:48:49,500 --> 00:48:54,140
other big feet not falling in a
single file line, but maybe
839
00:48:54,140 --> 00:48:56,700
coming in from the sides towards
this thing too.
840
00:48:56,700 --> 00:48:59,580
Trying to, you know, come in at
it.
841
00:48:59,780 --> 00:49:01,060
Right.
They didn't specify, but they
842
00:49:01,060 --> 00:49:03,420
were like, Oh yeah, there were
signs of a great struggle.
843
00:49:04,060 --> 00:49:06,820
And then the moose's track
stopped like, Oh my gosh.
844
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:10,370
OK, so I had to.
I had to Google this real quick.
845
00:49:10,770 --> 00:49:18,970
Just the the natural predators
that hunt moose, wolves, bears,
846
00:49:19,530 --> 00:49:25,650
killer whales, CJ and.
Wolverines, oh Wolverines will
847
00:49:25,650 --> 00:49:27,490
kill everything.
Wolverines kill everything.
848
00:49:27,490 --> 00:49:28,890
They don't care.
Wolverines aren't that big,
849
00:49:28,970 --> 00:49:32,490
though, No, but they've been
known to take down freaking
850
00:49:32,770 --> 00:49:35,010
moose.
Yeah, well, you're talking like
851
00:49:35,010 --> 00:49:37,860
a calf.
Actually, a lot of animals will
852
00:49:37,860 --> 00:49:39,580
straight run away from a
Wolverine.
853
00:49:39,580 --> 00:49:43,020
Like there's like a they put a
tracker on a Wolverine once and
854
00:49:43,020 --> 00:49:45,900
this Wolverine like went up over
the top of a mountain, killed a
855
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:47,580
whole bunch of stuff and then
came back.
856
00:49:47,740 --> 00:49:49,740
He didn't even eat it.
Like he just went over the top
857
00:49:49,740 --> 00:49:51,700
of this mountain to just body
people.
858
00:49:52,580 --> 00:49:58,740
Like was not to fuck me.
It's not about the Honey Badger
859
00:49:58,740 --> 00:50:01,940
anymore, Wolverine.
Wolverine doesn't give no craps.
860
00:50:02,140 --> 00:50:04,220
He's nasty.
He's nasty.
861
00:50:06,410 --> 00:50:09,090
Apparently these moose trying to
cross waters.
862
00:50:09,090 --> 00:50:11,610
They get snatched up by killer
whales all the damn time.
863
00:50:12,330 --> 00:50:15,210
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
But the like the wolf thing,
864
00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:18,810
they'll attack like sick ones.
Like a a Wolf Pack is not
865
00:50:18,810 --> 00:50:21,530
attacking like a buck who's in
rut.
866
00:50:21,930 --> 00:50:25,930
Like, right, You know, just full
on moose and out.
867
00:50:26,810 --> 00:50:30,410
Right.
Like, it's really, really, it's
868
00:50:30,410 --> 00:50:33,290
really, really unbelievable.
Like, just like Moose really are
869
00:50:33,290 --> 00:50:35,490
like a powerhouse.
Right.
870
00:50:36,020 --> 00:50:39,340
You know of an animal, they they
beat up cars.
871
00:50:39,380 --> 00:50:42,940
If you can beat up a car,
nothing is taking hands to you.
872
00:50:43,780 --> 00:50:46,620
Gosh.
And there, I mean, just the size
873
00:50:46,620 --> 00:50:50,420
of their rack just lends to how
strong these things are.
874
00:50:50,420 --> 00:50:53,820
The fact that they can keep
their head up with a with their
875
00:50:53,940 --> 00:50:57,660
rack that frickin big and heavy,
I mean, that's pretty
876
00:50:57,660 --> 00:51:00,460
incredible.
Yeah, that's a lot of, that's a
877
00:51:00,460 --> 00:51:02,940
lot of muscles just in the neck.
I don't know, man.
878
00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:08,610
I'm I'm not throwing out the
idea of a Sam Squinch, or at
879
00:51:08,610 --> 00:51:12,370
least like a gaggle of them
taking down a moose.
880
00:51:13,130 --> 00:51:15,810
Now if they brought boulders
with them and they were just
881
00:51:16,370 --> 00:51:20,290
bashing this thing in the face
with boulders, maybe because it,
882
00:51:20,290 --> 00:51:22,850
like they're known to Sasquatch,
are known to use tools, right?
883
00:51:22,850 --> 00:51:25,810
Like in the there, there is a
lot of reports of it.
884
00:51:25,810 --> 00:51:28,850
Yeah, I mean, I mean, if you
look at all the great apes,
885
00:51:29,290 --> 00:51:33,690
there's very primitive usage of
tools, yes.
886
00:51:34,770 --> 00:51:37,810
So I mean maybe then like if
they were just like, alright,
887
00:51:37,810 --> 00:51:41,130
here's a moose, let's hit him
with that piece of crane
888
00:51:41,130 --> 00:51:44,170
equipment, somebody go get that,
you know?
889
00:51:44,450 --> 00:51:46,970
I just killed a guy with it.
It's clearly good enough to
890
00:51:46,970 --> 00:51:50,250
takedown the moose.
Maybe they use, maybe they use
891
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:53,290
the guy to kill the moose.
They hit, hit the moose with the
892
00:51:53,290 --> 00:51:55,930
guy, and then slammed him
against the crane equipment.
893
00:51:57,650 --> 00:52:01,530
Alright, so if we if we exclude
that story then the rest of them
894
00:52:01,690 --> 00:52:06,290
all seem fairly believable.
I I don't disbelieve the moose
895
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,730
one.
I don't.
896
00:52:09,170 --> 00:52:12,370
I I I can definitely tell it it
it'd be very hard.
897
00:52:12,370 --> 00:52:13,290
Yes.
I just.
898
00:52:13,290 --> 00:52:14,450
I'm not.
I'm not.
899
00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:17,570
Jeremy just really wants Bigfoot
to be the next Marvel character.
900
00:52:18,090 --> 00:52:21,490
No, because I hate.
Toss buildings in a single bound
901
00:52:23,010 --> 00:52:26,410
hate with a passion, you.
Hate Marvel?
902
00:52:26,890 --> 00:52:29,570
I do.
I wonder why you're not happy.
903
00:52:29,570 --> 00:52:30,710
Ever.
Yeah.
904
00:52:35,590 --> 00:52:36,630
Yeah.
No.
905
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:41,270
I I feel like Marvel is just.
You know a DC fan.
906
00:52:41,910 --> 00:52:44,510
I am a DC fan.
Yeah, see, I am a DC fan.
907
00:52:44,510 --> 00:52:46,950
That's what it is, yeah.
I like the dark stuff, man.
908
00:52:47,390 --> 00:52:50,310
I don't like, I don't like, I
don't like someone jiggling keys
909
00:52:50,310 --> 00:52:52,390
in front of me and it just
doesn't do it for me.
910
00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:56,230
I need actual context.
You need the the Zack Snyder
911
00:52:56,230 --> 00:53:00,990
cut.
Yeah, no, not really.
912
00:53:00,990 --> 00:53:03,870
Not the Zack Snyder cut.
I'm not bigger than the movies.
913
00:53:03,870 --> 00:53:05,350
I used to read the comics as a
kid.
914
00:53:05,430 --> 00:53:07,750
You said you like it dark.
No, I do.
915
00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:09,590
I do like it with DC.
I do like it dark.
916
00:53:09,590 --> 00:53:12,310
I like the boys.
The boys is fantastic.
917
00:53:13,870 --> 00:53:15,630
Have you seen the boys?
No.
918
00:53:16,110 --> 00:53:17,910
I watched the first season, it's
really good.
919
00:53:18,310 --> 00:53:20,950
My gosh, Jake, you have never
seen the boys.
920
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:22,900
I don't even know what you're
talking about.
921
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:24,620
I thought you.
Oh my gosh.
922
00:53:24,820 --> 00:53:28,340
Do you know superheroes?
No, it's on Amazon.
923
00:53:28,340 --> 00:53:30,420
Dude.
You have to watch the boys.
924
00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:32,260
Jake, you'd probably really like
it.
925
00:53:32,540 --> 00:53:36,140
It's it's hard for me though,
because pretty much when I'm
926
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:38,700
home now I have Logan, so it's
not something I can watch while
927
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:41,140
he's around.
Yeah, Jake.
928
00:53:41,540 --> 00:53:44,420
OK, OK.
Don't watch it around, children.
929
00:53:44,980 --> 00:53:46,380
I don't have any children, so I
know.
930
00:53:46,700 --> 00:53:50,800
Just like, you know, just don't.
Right, Jake, don't watch it.
931
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,640
You are children.
That's right.
932
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,200
Oh man.
Oh, this is oh, it makes sense
933
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,320
now.
I've been seeing clips of this,
934
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,800
and I was just like, I don't
know what this is.
935
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,200
Yeah, you gotta watch that.
All right, moving on.
936
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,520
Let's go.
Let's come on back down to
937
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,720
reality here, boys.
This is the last paragraph that
938
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:14,360
I have for the night.
We're gonna meet.
939
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,920
No more moose killing.
No more moose killing.
940
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,000
We're going to, we're going to
hear a little bit of a little
941
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,840
bit of reality on the whole port
lock subject.
942
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,360
And then we're going to, we're
going to wrap her up.
943
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,760
All right, you guys ready to
roll?
944
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,080
Larry Baxter outlines a
discussion that he had with
945
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,640
Joseph Carlo, who lived in port
Lock until he was 17.
946
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,960
Joe was able to shine a light on
a few different aspects of both
947
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,200
the town of Port Lock and the
legend of the Not Enough first
948
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,160
being on what life was like
there.
949
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,720
He mentioned how the entire town
had running water but did not
950
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:56,080
have electricity.
The only electricity was a
951
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,200
generator at the sawmill.
This made it very hard for life
952
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,120
there, and if it wasn't for the
fishing and sawmill, the town
953
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,760
would have nothing to exist for.
According to Joe, the sawmill
954
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,240
burned down which caused the
other important buildings to
955
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:15,720
burn, and that is what ended up
chasing everyone out of the
956
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:18,600
town.
Joe does mention that there were
957
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,400
plenty of stories around the
town about creatures in the
958
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,760
woods, but nothing he ever
experienced himself.
959
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,520
The revelation here is that
according to a man who left
960
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,480
Portlock when he was 17, the
town was not abandoned due to a
961
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,160
monster who terrorized the
people.
962
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,520
Rather it was the burning of the
town's number one source of
963
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:42,030
income and reason.
Although the town burned down,
964
00:55:42,030 --> 00:55:45,310
author Larry Baxter mentions
that he is not upset about the
965
00:55:45,310 --> 00:55:50,230
truth about Portlock Alaska.
Whether or not the town left due
966
00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:54,470
to the not knock or not, the
real intrigue about the area is
967
00:55:54,470 --> 00:55:57,510
that the creatures were there
before the establishment of
968
00:55:57,510 --> 00:56:00,950
portlock and they will be there
for long after.
969
00:56:01,790 --> 00:56:05,750
And I will have to agree with
the amazing events that happened
970
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:09,760
while Baxter was researching the
area and brilliant history
971
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,560
passed down by the natives.
I just do not see how someone
972
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,040
who enjoys the world of unknown
hairy creatures who stalk the
973
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,240
forests cannot be in love with
such a place.
974
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,920
With that being said, there are
plenty of modern sightings that
975
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,120
have taken place in the Kenai
Peninsula.
976
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:33,520
In the 1980s, a hunter watched
as a 7 or 8 foot hairy creature
977
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,930
walking on two legs scrolled
across the road, stopped, looked
978
00:56:37,930 --> 00:56:40,610
at him and continued into the
tree line.
979
00:56:41,490 --> 00:56:45,730
In 2004, a husband and wife
watched a hairy biped run across
980
00:56:45,730 --> 00:56:50,570
the road on the Stirling Hwy.
2015 gave us a sighting of
981
00:56:50,570 --> 00:56:54,570
firefighters who are tending to
a local emergency witnessed an
982
00:56:54,730 --> 00:56:58,410
upright hairy creature walking
into the woods after apparently
983
00:56:58,410 --> 00:57:03,910
watching the fire before the
crew showed up. 16 1/2 inch left
984
00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:07,510
footprint was found by a hiker
near Moose Pass in 2016.
985
00:57:08,190 --> 00:57:11,870
In 2018 a truck driver reported
two separate individuals walking
986
00:57:11,870 --> 00:57:15,670
around his truck while he was
pulled over for the night, and
987
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:19,990
in 2019 a couple were kayaking
and witnessed the Bigfoot
988
00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:23,270
holding on to two tree trunks
and shaking them as they
989
00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:25,870
approached before walking
further into the forest.
990
00:57:27,070 --> 00:57:30,950
And that is all I have on port
lock and the knock knock.
991
00:57:33,730 --> 00:57:35,650
I mean both things could be true
at the same time.
992
00:57:35,650 --> 00:57:38,330
It could have been in
combination of things.
993
00:57:38,610 --> 00:57:41,490
If that was the case, then yes,
I mean it would be like a
994
00:57:41,490 --> 00:57:43,330
majority of the ghost towns out
there.
995
00:57:43,770 --> 00:57:48,370
That's because like I stated for
earlier, the resources dried up
996
00:57:48,810 --> 00:57:50,850
some.
You know, in this circumstance
997
00:57:51,490 --> 00:57:54,610
something could have taken place
like a fire and then just been
998
00:57:54,610 --> 00:57:56,810
like you know what, it's not
worth it to rebuild.
999
00:57:56,810 --> 00:58:00,670
We're already dealing with.
Enough stuff as it is, you know,
1000
00:58:00,670 --> 00:58:02,990
maybe it was the wrong season
for it.
1001
00:58:02,990 --> 00:58:06,750
You know, winter had set in and
then things start catching on
1002
00:58:06,750 --> 00:58:09,750
fire and it's just like okay, we
need to get out of here because
1003
00:58:09,790 --> 00:58:13,630
you know, if things continue,
we're all going to be frozen to
1004
00:58:13,630 --> 00:58:16,590
the ground type stuff, right?
So there could have been that.
1005
00:58:16,590 --> 00:58:19,710
There could have been hostile
creatures out there, both of
1006
00:58:19,710 --> 00:58:21,590
them could definitely be at the
same time.
1007
00:58:21,590 --> 00:58:24,150
And everyone just kind of called
it and said, all right, we're
1008
00:58:24,310 --> 00:58:32,800
enough is enough, we're out.
I don't one were taking one
1009
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,200
person's point of view from when
he was 17 years old.
1010
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,080
Right.
Did the thing burn down?
1011
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,640
Yeah, I actually found that it
did.
1012
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:46,280
It did a lot of a lot of places
burnt down in this little
1013
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,240
fishing town.
But I agree.
1014
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,560
I don't.
You know, this could have been
1015
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:58,090
something where tensions were
high and then an accident
1016
00:58:58,090 --> 00:59:01,570
happened and it was just the the
stroller broke the camel's back,
1017
00:59:01,690 --> 00:59:03,850
you know, it was like, all
right, that's it, We're done.
1018
00:59:03,930 --> 00:59:07,690
Fuck this out, yeah?
I'm wondering if like Sasquatch
1019
00:59:07,690 --> 00:59:10,650
or like they operate inside
tribes and not like family
1020
00:59:10,650 --> 00:59:13,490
units, cuz like cuz I know like
guerrillas operate inside family
1021
00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:16,930
units right?
So I'm wondering, yeah, if they
1022
00:59:16,930 --> 00:59:21,150
like if they do tribes.
And like we just have what we're
1023
00:59:21,150 --> 00:59:24,110
looking at as like an overly
aggressive, maybe slightly more
1024
00:59:24,110 --> 00:59:27,110
violent tribe of Bigfoot than
we're kind of accustomed to here
1025
00:59:27,110 --> 00:59:31,030
like mainland US.
So to answer your question,
1026
00:59:31,030 --> 00:59:37,790
there are a ton of instances
where people have seen Bigfoot
1027
00:59:38,310 --> 00:59:43,550
working together.
It is well thought that Bigfoot
1028
00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:47,700
are in tribes and that the women
and children are near the center
1029
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:51,020
of where the men go out and
stand century.
1030
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:55,900
Now everyone who has who does
field research in the Bigfoot
1031
00:59:56,260 --> 01:00:00,500
comes across this phenomenon
where you hear screaming on one
1032
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:04,500
Ridge and screaming on another
or wood knocks on one Ridge and
1033
01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:07,220
then wood knocks way, way.
You know they're communicating
1034
01:00:07,220 --> 01:00:09,140
with each other very far
distances.
1035
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:13,580
And the title for those
individuals are centuries.
1036
01:00:14,070 --> 01:00:16,790
They call them centuries and
they're doing just like what we
1037
01:00:16,790 --> 01:00:18,790
do, right?
They're watching, they're
1038
01:00:18,790 --> 01:00:21,030
watching.
They're going to alert under
1039
01:00:21,030 --> 01:00:24,190
certain circumstances, if you
cross the wrong line and you
1040
01:00:24,190 --> 01:00:26,270
know, the invisible line in the
woods, they're going to let
1041
01:00:26,270 --> 01:00:31,110
everybody know.
They're going to also, as we
1042
01:00:31,430 --> 01:00:35,360
have heard through Carter Bush
hard, you know that whole
1043
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,600
counting phenomenon where
they'll set down 5 stones for
1044
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:44,000
five people or make 5 knocks for
five people where apparently
1045
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,440
Bigfoot has a problem with
counting over three, right.
1046
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:53,160
So 123 wait a little bit, 1-2 to
cover the next two in the group
1047
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,160
of five people.
To kind of shorten this up for
1048
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:59,200
you, CJ, it is well known within
the Sasquatch community.
1049
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,040
Or believed.
Not known.
1050
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,690
We'll go with believed that yes,
they do live in tribes.
1051
01:01:05,050 --> 01:01:09,210
They are not solitary animals.
Now you may see them
1052
01:01:09,490 --> 01:01:13,530
individually because they do
cover ground, like they have
1053
01:01:13,530 --> 01:01:15,530
their responsibilities, you
know.
1054
01:01:15,530 --> 01:01:19,730
And in the inside of this group
or this the century borders,
1055
01:01:19,890 --> 01:01:22,610
there's a group of females and
babies or kids.
1056
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,360
They work together in community.
Yeah, someone I'm wondering that
1057
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,040
in like because like if we look
at like just Native Americans
1058
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,280
specifically, there were tribes
that were like more inclined to
1059
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,920
peace and tribes that would
definitely jump to war
1060
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,920
immediately.
And I wonder like with we're
1061
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:42,320
seeing like a sort of like
regional difference between like
1062
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,680
mindsets between the tribes
we're like down here more
1063
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:51,400
towards like mainland USA like
we have like a a more.
1064
01:01:51,750 --> 01:01:54,310
Mild Sasquatch.
It's not really inclined towards
1065
01:01:54,310 --> 01:01:58,670
violence, where we move up there
to a harsher, more unforgiving
1066
01:01:58,670 --> 01:02:00,310
landscape.
Or maybe they're quicker to
1067
01:02:00,310 --> 01:02:03,270
violence.
I was just along thinking the
1068
01:02:03,270 --> 01:02:08,590
same thing I was like I wonder
if the fighting with local
1069
01:02:08,590 --> 01:02:13,030
animals say like £1000 grizzly
bear for resources like fish or
1070
01:02:13,030 --> 01:02:16,030
whatever it is, or the berries
and everything, especially as
1071
01:02:16,030 --> 01:02:19,550
everything's trying to fatten up
at the same time, if that.
1072
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:25,280
Necessity to be more prone to
violence would carry into other
1073
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,560
interactions, like say, dealing
with people in a town.
1074
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,080
You know, if that's something
that could just easily be turned
1075
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,840
off, or if that's just they're
more likely to act in that way
1076
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,880
because of the way that they
have to live anyway.
1077
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,350
Being more aggressive, more
violent, yeah, it could have
1078
01:02:43,350 --> 01:02:46,390
been a fight for resources.
I mean, there could be a very
1079
01:02:46,390 --> 01:02:49,790
large community up there, which
means that food has to be
1080
01:02:49,790 --> 01:02:53,390
distributed thinner.
You know, men are out there
1081
01:02:53,390 --> 01:02:57,630
hunting, trapping, tearing down
the forest, that kind of stuff
1082
01:02:57,630 --> 01:03:00,630
that could be pissing them off
and be like, yo, got to feed our
1083
01:03:00,630 --> 01:03:04,470
babies and shit.
I'd rather just pick this little
1084
01:03:04,470 --> 01:03:07,390
thing up and slam them up
against his toy and throw his
1085
01:03:07,390 --> 01:03:11,350
body 10 feet away from it.
No no longer worried about that
1086
01:03:11,350 --> 01:03:16,530
one.
Yeah, they could be smart too.
1087
01:03:16,650 --> 01:03:18,810
And they like, realize, like you
don't have to kill them all.
1088
01:03:18,810 --> 01:03:20,930
You just have to kill enough to
scare the rest of them.
1089
01:03:21,890 --> 01:03:25,610
Yeah, maybe they could have been
taking part in in like a hurting
1090
01:03:25,730 --> 01:03:30,650
situation, keeping humans and in
the town of Portlock watching
1091
01:03:30,650 --> 01:03:34,570
the edges and just making sure
everyone stayed in there and
1092
01:03:34,570 --> 01:03:37,450
anybody who did wander out,
Yeah, we would just kill him.
1093
01:03:37,450 --> 01:03:41,370
And that would send the the
story that we wanna portray.
1094
01:03:43,790 --> 01:03:46,190
Or even still, it could have
been the plan to kill every
1095
01:03:46,190 --> 01:03:48,150
single person in there.
And then people are just like,
1096
01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:51,710
I'm tired of this, Let's go.
You know, you get a gaggle of
1097
01:03:51,870 --> 01:03:55,310
Bigfoot ninjas, but just go in
there at night and just
1098
01:03:56,070 --> 01:03:58,830
stealthily kill.
Use them as weapons against the
1099
01:03:58,830 --> 01:04:00,470
moose.
That'd be a good movie.
1100
01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:07,270
That's the next Sharknado.
Yeah.
1101
01:04:07,310 --> 01:04:10,510
So that's it, guys.
That's what I have now.
1102
01:04:11,110 --> 01:04:13,750
For those of you that have still
listened, make sure you turn in
1103
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:16,710
next week because we are talking
Larry.
1104
01:04:17,190 --> 01:04:20,910
Larry Baxter, He's got some
amazing stories that I did not
1105
01:04:20,910 --> 01:04:22,870
go over because I'm going to let
him do it.
1106
01:04:23,510 --> 01:04:28,030
Dan, Danny, you want book
recommendations?
1107
01:04:28,350 --> 01:04:33,310
You want to get this book.
This is abandoned, Abandoned by
1108
01:04:33,310 --> 01:04:36,390
Larry Baxter.
Danny, that is highly
1109
01:04:36,390 --> 01:04:39,990
recommended checking out, very
good stuff and obviously it's a
1110
01:04:39,990 --> 01:04:41,510
recommendation for everybody
else as well.
1111
01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:45,910
CJ, Jake, you guys got any final
thoughts or anything else to put
1112
01:04:45,910 --> 01:04:48,710
out?
I'm excited to talk to the
1113
01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:50,950
author tomorrow.
I think that'll be cool.
1114
01:04:50,950 --> 01:04:54,950
I'll be able to ask him the
questions that are kind of
1115
01:04:54,950 --> 01:04:57,650
burning on my mind that.
You know, he'll be able to
1116
01:04:57,650 --> 01:05:00,410
explain in further detail,
especially like, you know,
1117
01:05:00,410 --> 01:05:03,530
should we want to do something
like this, how exactly do we go
1118
01:05:03,530 --> 01:05:06,610
about getting permission or
access or what was the routes,
1119
01:05:06,610 --> 01:05:10,410
things like that?
You know, what did he find
1120
01:05:10,410 --> 01:05:15,570
specifically in his comings and
goings inside that town?
1121
01:05:15,610 --> 01:05:19,650
You know, what does he believe
as far as what really drove the
1122
01:05:19,650 --> 01:05:22,250
people out?
You know, that sort of stuff.
1123
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,600
You know, anything that's kind
of come up since he put it out
1124
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,200
the book.
So yeah, I'm definitely excited
1125
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,640
to speak with him tomorrow.
I think it'll be really cool
1126
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,800
episode.
But I think that you you also
1127
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,480
killed this one.
Really good information, really
1128
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,320
interesting stuff, a lot of
death, you know, which is good
1129
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,480
because our listeners are sick
and you know, I brought up some
1130
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,120
good conversation and stuff and
we should have CJ back on some
1131
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,800
more.
I missed that guy.
1132
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,720
Look at him sitting there with
darkness.
1133
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,730
I I I'm very flattered.
I listen to you guys in my truck
1134
01:05:52,730 --> 01:05:54,250
all the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1135
01:05:54,610 --> 01:05:57,290
Nice.
Anyways, rumor is, is that we
1136
01:05:57,290 --> 01:06:00,650
may be changing the format of
Infinite Rabbit Hole slightly.
1137
01:06:00,650 --> 01:06:04,050
You guys probably won't notice
as listeners, but we will hear
1138
01:06:04,050 --> 01:06:07,770
as host.
We may be seeing CJ a little bit
1139
01:06:07,770 --> 01:06:10,170
more.
Yeah, yeah, I'm.
1140
01:06:10,170 --> 01:06:11,730
I'm up for it.
Yep.
1141
01:06:12,370 --> 01:06:16,490
So if you hate CJ, this would be
the place for you.
1142
01:06:18,860 --> 01:06:22,100
Oh my God, Nobody hates CJ.
Nobody hates C.
1143
01:06:22,220 --> 01:06:27,180
Ji wouldn't go that far, Jeremy.
I'll have to have my ex come on
1144
01:06:27,180 --> 01:06:30,620
the show.
Yeah, never.
1145
01:06:30,620 --> 01:06:31,740
Right.
Screw it.
1146
01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:35,300
Let's bring them all.
We'll get CJ and Andrew and Wes
1147
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:40,900
and and and Ken, Zar and Jeff
and Jeremy and me and whoever
1148
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:43,140
that other guy was.
That I can never, never
1149
01:06:43,140 --> 01:06:45,260
remember.
Does Wes still hate me?
1150
01:06:46,140 --> 01:06:48,300
Probably.
OK, I have no idea.
1151
01:06:49,100 --> 01:06:51,100
It's just we'll just have an
eight person crew.
1152
01:06:51,740 --> 01:06:54,020
Yeah, fuck it.
We have trouble talking over
1153
01:06:54,020 --> 01:06:56,460
ourselves already.
Yeah, but think about this.
1154
01:06:56,460 --> 01:06:59,460
You do.
You only have an episode once
1155
01:06:59,460 --> 01:07:04,220
every eight weeks.
Pretty sweet.
1156
01:07:05,300 --> 01:07:08,100
Pretty sweet.
I would have so many built up.
1157
01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:10,700
The backlog would be insane.
Well.
1158
01:07:11,580 --> 01:07:15,860
You can assign people stuff
anyway anyways.
1159
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:17,340
Yeah.
Good episode, Jeremy.
1160
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:18,620
Good job.
Thanks, man.
1161
01:07:19,460 --> 01:07:22,780
CJ, would you like to put out
information about your podcast?
1162
01:07:23,820 --> 01:07:27,620
I only have Mystery Stones.
Still, Yeah, go ahead, put it
1163
01:07:27,700 --> 01:07:29,820
out.
Yeah, Mystery Stone podcast.
1164
01:07:29,820 --> 01:07:36,980
We talk about the woo, woo, the
insides, spirituality, religion.
1165
01:07:37,460 --> 01:07:40,060
Then we dive into the occult and
magic as well.
1166
01:07:40,260 --> 01:07:43,580
And Jake thinks that we're
demons and.
1167
01:07:43,820 --> 01:07:45,220
No.
Yeah.
1168
01:07:45,220 --> 01:07:47,620
Worshippers maybe?
No.
1169
01:07:49,300 --> 01:07:52,980
No, not at all.
But I don't play with none of
1170
01:07:52,980 --> 01:07:53,860
that mess.
But.
1171
01:07:54,180 --> 01:07:56,500
That's good.
But yeah, no, that's that's
1172
01:07:56,500 --> 01:08:00,580
pretty much it.
Like, yeah, Mystery Stone.
1173
01:08:01,340 --> 01:08:02,660
Yeah, that's all.
That's it.
1174
01:08:03,020 --> 01:08:04,580
But apparently, that's it,
everybody.
1175
01:08:04,660 --> 01:08:06,860
All right.
