Tonight, I'll be talking about a strange
1:40
encounter with an unknown entity outside
1:43
of a farm house. A terrifying
1:45
report in Utah of a creature
1:47
that throws boulders, and
1:49
an extremely odd experience in the forests
1:52
of Michigan. All of these
1:54
experiences are coming up on
1:56
this edition of from the
1:58
forest. Thank
2:15
you for joining 309, and welcome as always.
2:18
I'm your host, Nick Ryan.
2:21
Before we start tonight show, I'd like to
2:23
recognize Diana and anonymous.
2:25
For their contribution on Patreon and
2:28
by 309 Coffee. Thank you so
2:30
much for your generosity. And
2:32
of course, the show wouldn't be possible without all
2:34
of my amazing listeners from around
2:36
the world. I appreciate each
2:38
and every one of you for your continued
2:40
support. Tonight's
2:42
show is a little shorter than usual as
2:44
I'm putting most of my efforts into writing
2:46
for part two of something in the wilderness.
2:49
However, I have a couple of experiences
2:52
that follow the same narrative and
2:54
I knew that all of you would appreciate
2:56
hearing them. So without further
2:58
ado, Let's begin with our first
3:00
experience of the night, which comes
3:02
to us, from Lee. 309
3:05
says, Hi, Nick.
3:07
Thanks for playing my story on the podcast.
3:10
As I said, as a child, my house
3:12
was very haunted, and I believed it
3:14
was the land. I know from
3:16
these experiences that there is truly
3:19
evil in this world, but good
3:21
as well. I grew
3:23
up in an old farmhouse in Iowa
3:25
in the middle of nowhere. At
3:27
night, everything is pitch black and
3:29
I remember seeing shadow figures that
3:31
were blacker than the darkness. Behind
3:33
the trees. As a child,
3:35
I swinging on our swing set
3:37
and seeing them even during the day,
3:39
peeking out from behind the hog shed
3:42
or the old feed store, and I believe
3:44
that everyone could see them. The
3:46
one I was the most afraid of, had
3:49
a fedora. My room
3:51
in my house was used as a storeroom.
3:53
It was one of the biggest rooms in the house.
3:55
But for some reason, the previous owners
3:58
had it locked and only used it for
4:00
storage. We thought that it was because
4:02
it was on the north side of the house that it was
4:04
always freezing cold, but it
4:06
was also because for some 309, they
4:09
never built heat into that room.
4:11
At night, I would hear and see
4:13
shadow figures at the doorway and walking
4:16
up and even sitting on the bed.
4:18
I also felt as if I could feel
4:20
icy cold fingers stroking
4:22
my cheek at night, and I remember
4:24
at the time thinking that it was just
4:26
my imagination. However,
4:28
after moving away from the farmhouse that
4:31
has never happened again, What
4:33
truly scared me about the house however
4:35
wasn't the shadow people or obvious
4:37
spirits connected to the land,
4:39
but it was that I didn't understand it. Or
4:41
I had never heard of it before. Regardless
4:44
of how dark it was or scary,
4:46
I was still restless and loved
4:48
to ride my bike around the house and
4:50
shoot baskets at night. One
4:53
night, I was out shooting baskets at around
4:55
midnight to two AM. I
4:57
had headphones in and my MP three
4:59
player, so I couldn't hear anything.
5:01
All of a sudden, something hit the basketball
5:04
headboard so hard that the entire
5:06
thing shook and I ducked just in
5:08
case a ball would fly up and hit me.
5:10
I had my sister's bike propped up against the
5:12
hoop, so the ball would hit it and then
5:14
fly back to me instead of going down
5:16
the hill towards the dark barn.
5:19
Whatever it was, hit the bike
5:21
and knocked it over, but I still saw
5:23
no ball or anything physically
5:25
hit it. I then turned around
5:27
and pulled the headphone out of my ear because
5:29
I thought that it was my sister sneaking up
5:31
on me. And I said, Penny,
5:33
you scared the heck out of me. But
5:35
when I looked back, no one was
5:37
there. I told myself that it
5:39
must have been a bird that hit it and I
5:41
let it go. But then when I looked
5:43
ahead, there was a black cat.
5:45
And I love black cats, but it was
5:47
just sitting there and staring at me
5:49
with its eyes open. And it
5:51
didn't blink. The feeling I
5:53
got from this cat was the same feeling
5:55
I would get when I would see the shadow
5:57
people as a child. I didn't
5:59
understand why though, so I ignored
6:01
it. I tried to scare the cat
6:03
away, but it never moved. I
6:05
also tried to throw the ball at it or
6:07
toward it. But it didn't
6:09
flinch. I continued to
6:11
shoot baskets until I got the overwhelming
6:14
feeling of being watched and then
6:16
I went inside. My mom asked
6:18
me why I ran in so fast and
6:20
I told her the story and I said that
6:22
there was a cat that was still outside.
6:24
She then glanced outside and she saw
6:26
it staring in the window at us and it
6:28
was just sitting there, almost like
6:30
it was frozen, not blinking.
6:33
And she then said, lock the doors
6:35
and we ignored it for the rest of the night.
6:38
I didn't tell anyone as no one
6:40
ever believed me anyway. And
6:42
I didn't understand what it
6:44
would even be. A
6:46
few weeks later, we were riding our bikes
6:48
around the house at night when my friend
6:50
ran up to 309 in a panic. She said, we
6:52
need to go inside right now.
6:55
I said, what happened? Where's your
6:57
bike? And she said, I fell
6:59
off my bike And when I did, there was a black
7:01
cat just sitting there staring at me.
7:03
I then knew that it was the same thing,
7:06
but whatever it was was not
7:08
a cat. I love cats and I
7:10
actually own a black cat and I
7:12
even looked up shape shifters, but the
7:14
closest thing that I could find as to
7:16
what it was. Is a witch's
7:18
spy. I believe it was some
7:20
sort of spirit or entity that knew
7:22
its normal form would scare me 309, so
7:24
it took the form of something else. So
7:26
was not to cause fear. However,
7:29
as to why it had to get so close
7:31
and why it was watching me, I don't
7:33
know. The house is
7:35
across the street from a church camp, and I
7:37
also believe that this is the reason
7:39
for a lot of the 309, as well
7:41
as evil spirits being upset and
7:43
disturbed. By the worship that's
7:45
going on there. If
7:47
anyone knows what type of creature or
7:49
spirit that was, I would love to
7:51
know. But it's bothered me since the
7:53
day it happened, and I will
7:55
never forget, the unblinking
7:58
eyes. Our
8:02
next experience comes to us from Nate.
8:04
And Nate's experience is called
8:07
something big behind the trees.
8:10
Nate says, hi, Nick.
8:12
Thank you for reading my story about the different colored
8:14
ghosts and my UFO story.
8:17
It's nice to get the stories out. I
8:19
have restarted the podcast and I've
8:21
really enjoyed listening to the stories that
8:23
all the other listeners send in. I
8:25
just recently listened to the Phoenix Lights
8:27
episode thirty one. I started to
8:29
think to myself about my UFO
8:31
encounter. It was right around the same
8:33
time of year in nineteen ninety
8:35
seven that I saw that UFO. I
8:38
wonder if it was the same. It was
8:40
huge just like the Phoenix Lights
8:42
UFO. I live in Northern
8:44
Utah, so it wouldn't be outlandish
8:46
to say that it could have been the
8:48
same craft. The
8:50
story I have today is what I believe
8:52
to be bigfoot. I was around
8:54
nineteen or twenty in about the
8:56
year two thousand. Me and
8:58
my sister's boyfriend were going fishing in
9:00
the late afternoon on a river that was about
9:02
twenty minutes away from my house.
9:04
We stopped by the store to grab some night
9:06
crawlers, snacks, and drinks.
9:08
We were going to stay out late to do some
9:10
night fishing, so my friend brought up
9:12
a spotlight. It was
9:14
still light outside when we got to the spot
9:16
that we were going to fish at. We
9:18
got set up and got our lines in
9:20
the water. The sun was already on the
9:22
western side of the mountain, so the river
9:24
was shaded, and we started catching
9:26
fish pretty quick. About
9:28
an hour had passed and it was starting
9:31
to get dark. I had a fishing
9:33
pole that had a glow in the dark tip, so
9:35
I kept using the spotlight on the tip of
9:37
the pole so it would glow for about
9:39
five minutes. I kept doing
9:41
this for a while before. I
9:43
then stuck a bell on the tip of my pole, so
9:45
I could hear the fish pick up the bait.
9:47
And 309, there was a loud splash
9:49
in the river. Thinking that it was a
9:51
large fish, I use the spotlight in the
9:53
direction of the splash. Hoping to see
9:55
the general area of where it came
9:57
from so that I could cast my line
9:59
there. As I move the light across
10:01
the river, Another large splash
10:03
occurred just outside the light
10:05
beam. I could see the wave that the
10:07
splash made and was thinking that
10:09
this may not be a fish.
10:12
Thinking it could be some other kind of river
10:14
animal like a beaver or muskrat, I
10:16
move the light to the location of the second
10:18
splash. And see any type of
10:20
animal or even a fish.
10:22
What I did see at that spot was a
10:24
large boulder landing in
10:26
the water. The boulder was about the
10:28
size of a car battery and probably
10:30
weighed about eighty pounds. I
10:32
asked my friend in whispered tones,
10:34
where did that come from? 309
10:36
he responded with, I don't
10:39
know. I kept running the
10:41
light and starting to look across the
10:43
river. Across the river was a bunch of
10:45
bush like trees with thick foliage,
10:47
about twelve feet high. If
10:49
someone had thrown that boulder through those trees,
10:51
we would have heard the crash of breaking
10:53
branches and seen the debris in the
10:55
river. Realizing this
10:57
boulder was probably thrown over the
10:59
trees I started to get freaked out. I
11:01
then told my friend, I think
11:03
someone or something doesn't
11:05
want us here. As I
11:07
said that, I was shining the light to the top of
11:09
the trees 309 I watched another
11:12
boulder come over the top and
11:14
splash into the river. We jumped
11:16
up and grabbed our poles. Our chairs
11:18
and other items were left next to the river
11:20
as we ran for the truck and got the
11:22
hell out of there. My
11:24
friend went back the next day to get the chairs and
11:26
other items. The food was
11:28
missing, but the chairs
11:30
were still there. Something
11:32
to note is that my great uncle saw
11:34
a Sasquatch in that canyon in the early
11:36
eighties. He had a cast of a
11:38
print and some hair that he believes to be
11:40
SaaS There have been
11:42
other sightings of sasquatch from other
11:44
people in Northern Utah, but
11:46
most stay quiet or tell the
11:48
story to close friends. And
11:51
people that they can trust. They
11:53
don't put it out on the news or
11:55
anything like that. We have
11:57
large mountain ranges here in Utah with
11:59
lots of wilderness that hasn't been
12:01
deeply explored. It could
12:03
easily be a place where
12:06
could live.
12:07

13:05
next odd experience comes to us
13:07
from Aaron, and Aaron's
13:09
report is called real
13:11
or false memory in the woods.
13:15
309 says, hello. The
13:17
podcast is great. I love hearing
13:19
others experiences. And most of
13:21
them sound genuine. I have
13:23
listened to most of the episodes, but I
13:25
tend to focus on the forest related
13:28
ones. As an outdoorsman, I know
13:30
that nature is even more fantastic
13:32
than it looks. As for paranormal,
13:34
I am a believer. However, I
13:36
don't seek it out. So most of the
13:38
time, my life is rooted in the
13:40
world of the explained. I
13:42
wanna share a disturbing experience I
13:44
had when I was three years old.
13:46
I have no explanation, so
13:48
I dubbed the experience as
13:50
a false memory. In
13:53
about the center of Michigan, my
13:55
family owns twenty five acres that back
13:57
up to one hundred acres of state
13:59
land. It gives the illusion
14:01
of no man's land. For aside
14:03
from the cabin, there is just the
14:05
sounds of nature. From the cabin
14:08
across the dirt road is the remainder of
14:10
our property, and it is this
14:12
lot that borders the state land. As
14:14
a family, we would take lots of
14:16
hikes. So on a fall day, we
14:18
did just that. This
14:20
memory is very vivid to me. I am
14:22
going to account in full detail.
14:25
Then afterwards, you will
14:27
see how strange it is.
14:29
We set off my mom,
14:31
dad, and I. 309 the cabin,
14:33
we crossed the road and walked through
14:35
our lot onto state land.
14:38
We hiked up a hill and followed
14:40
that ridge on the hike. My
14:42
family made small talk as we walked the
14:44
clear trail. My mom was
14:46
messing with me as there was a large
14:48
mound of sand, which she claimed
14:50
was a bare den. However, I didn't
14:52
buy it, and we hiked
14:54
on. My parents had a
14:56
destination in mind, so our course
14:58
led us to a trailer in the middle of
15:00
the woods. My parents knocked on the
15:02
door and a tall man opened
15:04
it, but I do not remember his
15:06
face. The man wore blue
15:08
overalls and a flannel shirt.
15:10
He had a big black dog. We
15:12
went inside the trailer. Mom and
15:14
dad talked with the man while I played
15:16
and petted his dog. After
15:18
some time, we left, making it
15:21
back to our cabin before dark.
15:23
We then ate dinner and I was
15:25
put to bed. Now,
15:27
I swear on whatever is worth swearing
15:29
on that this event happened in my
15:31
life. However, nobody
15:33
else remembers that. My
15:35
parents claim this never happened. I
15:37
have recreated this hike many
15:39
times, and there is absolutely no
15:41
trailer with that man and dog to
15:43
be found. After
15:45
this hike, I lost the ability
15:47
to walk. We were up by a
15:50
lake in walking distance from the cabin
15:52
where I fell. My legs
15:54
quit working. My parents rushed
15:56
me to the and I was
15:58
diagnosed with post viral in
16:00
309, whatever that is. And in time,
16:03
I had to relearn how to walk. I
16:05
do not remember losing my ability
16:07
to walk, but I do remember the
16:09
hike that nobody else remembers,
16:12
clearest day. There is
16:14
no clear trail on that state
16:16
land. It is all thick bush, particularly
16:18
on that ridge. It's not somewhere that
16:20
you would be 309 with a three year old.
16:23
Also, at that time period, my
16:25
brother was an infant. There was no way that
16:27
my mom would leave a baby in the cabin
16:29
alone while we hiked.
16:31
So what happened here? Did my brain create
16:33
a false memory? And if so,
16:35
why? Or did this happen?
16:37
And everyone else just forgot.
16:40
It just trips me out. If anyone has
16:42
any input on this, please pass it
16:44
on. Thanks for reading if you
16:46
do, and be sure to take
16:48
it easy. Thanks.
16:51
After reading Aaron's experience, I
16:53
reached back out with some questions in order to
16:55
clarify some details. I asked
16:57
Biren if there had been any issues with losing
16:59
consciousness during this time period,
17:02
perhaps while in the forest or even in the
17:04
ERI was trying to rule out
17:06
anything that might explain the theory of
17:08
this being nothing more than a false
17:10
memory. I also wanted to verify that
17:12
Aaron indeed had zero memory of losing
17:14
the ability to 309, as
17:16
well as the rehabilitation period.
17:18
I'm also aware that certain infections can
17:20
affect the brain and cause someone to
17:22
lose their memory or even hallucinate.
17:25
However, not only did Aaron's
17:27
response answer my questions, but it
17:29
lends credibility to the notion that
17:31
this is much more than just a
17:33
false memory. This is what
17:35
Aaron had to say. Yes,
17:37
I have no memory of
17:39
losing the ability to walk or
17:41
relearning how to walk. They
17:43
said that it took a month to rehabilitate.
17:46
No, I never lost consciousness.
17:48
My parents said that I was actually
17:50
happy and unaware of my condition.
17:52
Or that not being able to walk
17:54
didn't bother me. How my
17:56
folks explain this is weird. One
17:59
moment I was running around and the next
18:01
I just couldn't walk and I was crawling. The
18:03
incident freaked out my parents who
18:05
still mention it from time to
18:07
time. I remember the walk to the
18:09
trailer vividly and to
18:11
be honest, it is one of my only memories from this time
18:14
period. I'm twenty six now 309 I can't
18:16
wrap my head around it, and
18:18
I've discuss this openly with my family and even my
18:20
friends. Trust me, this experience makes
18:22
no sense to me. And as a person,
18:24
I am labeled as rational.
18:28
This false memory is so ingrained in
18:30
me and I just wonder why
18:32
or is it even false? When
18:34
I 309 told this event to my brother recently
18:36
while we were at the cabin, his
18:38
girlfriend told me that she had a dream
18:40
the night prior. This is what
18:43
she dreamt. Quote,
18:45
I was in the woods across the street.
18:47
I went to a similar trailer.
18:50
Inside was a man in overalls
18:52
and a flannel, his skin
18:54
was gray, and he told me that
18:56
I shouldn't be there. So
18:59
I laughed. Unquote. What
19:01
she recounted was weird to me,
19:03
so I decided to include it.
19:06
Take it easy. Aaron. PS.
19:09
My legs were not
19:10
paralyzed. I just couldn't
19:13
walk. Weird stuff.
19:16
As we come to
19:18

19:20
