Hello. Get
2:00
somebody out here. What's going on now, sir? Son
2:02
of a bitch is about 10 foot 9, I
2:05
don't know. Do you see him now,
2:07
sir? Yes, I'm looking right at him. Greetings
2:09
from Alaska. I'm going to share with you
2:11
an experience that happened to Mr. Jeff Rogers.
2:14
He currently resides in California. He's
2:16
a carpenter. He used
2:19
to go build remote cabins and
2:22
he doesn't anymore. This
2:24
particular place is off the
2:27
Kenai Peninsula, but he left from the
2:29
Kenai Peninsula to go to this place in a small bush
2:31
plain. The client was a very wealthy guy. It's
2:35
very no expense. It had taken several years to
2:37
reach the point to where Jeff was going to
2:39
do the trim work, the finish work, the timing
2:41
groove on the inside of this cabin because it
2:43
was beautiful. But the cabin had been being built
2:46
for at least five years at this point. He
2:48
just figured it was logistics. He didn't know Alaska. He got
2:50
hired on an internet ad. He didn't even build the cabin.
2:52
He responds. He gets there. Now,
2:55
the first night he's there, there's one
2:58
other person that's there that had arrived
3:00
the day before him, which was hired
3:02
on to be basically a house mouse.
3:05
He attended camp, cooked for the carpenter, helped
3:07
him if needed. That type of thing, just
3:09
a helper person. This guy's name was
3:11
Art. Art was
3:13
from somewhere up by
3:15
the Fairbanks area. Very well-spoken Native gentleman.
3:18
Very kind, caring, and very intelligent. So,
3:21
he gets there. He's on loading all pleasantries. Hey,
3:23
and Art's like, hey, I got some lunch for
3:25
you. It's really good. We'll go.
3:27
We'll eat. And then I can show you
3:30
where all the material is and everything. So, the guy was on point
3:32
with his job, Art was. And so, Jeff
3:35
felt really okay, cool. I'm being paid good
3:37
money for this. Is this guy even going
3:39
to help me? He's already cooked this guy?
3:41
All right, yes. He's feeling really good about
3:43
this point, right? He does the same, eats,
3:46
checks out the materials, going through a little checklist.
3:48
He was a little short on the tongue-in group
3:50
for the interiors, but it was no big deal.
3:53
He was going to be there for a week. That's what the
3:55
schedule was. If there was still stuff
3:57
left to do, the only way I'm out for
3:59
a few days. days, little R&R and they bring
4:01
him back to finish up. The guy had deep
4:03
pockets so it would cost wasn't an issue. Found
4:06
out why it was a mad tower issue. Him
4:09
and Art are getting along great. He tells me
4:11
he's still in contact with Art to this day.
4:13
It didn't affect their friendship actually what ends up
4:15
happening tightens that bond. They're doing their
4:17
thing and they're two peas in a pod. It's like
4:20
they were best friends forever and some
4:22
people you just meet and you could
4:24
just talk to them about anything or
4:26
whatever and there's no uncomfortable silences. They're
4:29
doing their thing and he's getting some things
4:31
laid out. He's finding where some tools are
4:33
that was left there for this particular job
4:35
and just logistical stuff. Going to his little
4:38
checklist. He gets
4:40
there at midday. All this transpired and
4:42
then he's ready to call it a
4:44
night. He's jet-legged. He's beat up. He's
4:46
fresh to Alaska. He's got mosquito bites
4:48
he's dealing with and it's
4:50
not getting dark out. He
4:53
said he's never been anywhere to where
4:55
there's sunlight still on the horizon at
4:57
10 p.m. I said welcome to
4:59
Alaska. So he's figuring
5:01
out how he's going to black out something. He
5:03
ended up putting a towel over his hat so
5:05
it could give him some kind
5:07
of dull the bright light right. He's just
5:10
totally not used to it. Art was on
5:12
the floor on his little pallet snoring away
5:14
at 9.30. It didn't bother Art whatsoever. He's
5:16
from further north where it stays lighter longer.
5:18
He's trying his best to fall asleep and
5:21
he's feeling off. He's
5:23
feeling like there's just something not right
5:25
about the situation. So he's in his
5:27
mind. He's playing back five years. It's
5:29
still not built and in five
5:32
years what I'm seeing done so far it
5:34
should have been knocked out in one season.
5:36
He's an experienced finished carpenter. He knows the
5:38
business and I get it. I'm a carpenter
5:40
myself and build custom homes. It only takes
5:42
so long otherwise they're milking you and those
5:44
guys don't last long. So he was chalking
5:46
it up to a bunch of zeros that
5:49
don't know shit. Couldn't figure out a 5'12
5:51
pitch to save their life. Had
5:53
been coming out here and now I got
5:55
to pick up the pieces and finish this
5:57
job. Comforting himself because something's off about the
5:59
whole thing. As he's had
6:01
time to think about it, nothing's happened. He's
6:04
getting along great with art. Art's a great freaking
6:06
cook. He's still stuffed from the big dinner. Art
6:08
made some salmon and some rice. He said it
6:10
was delicious. So he's
6:13
just going over it, getting a little excited. Yes,
6:15
I'm going to make a good chunk of change
6:17
with this but there's something weighing on him. He
6:20
just can't put his finger on what's off.
6:23
And so he decides he needs to relieve himself
6:25
and plus he wants to have a cigarette, try
6:27
to, you know, and shut him down for the
6:29
day. So he goes and relieves himself and he's
6:31
sitting on the porch. What's the
6:34
porch at the moment, which was basically
6:36
a couple 55 gallon drums, a board
6:38
on it from Lean 2 Stuff, basically
6:41
some big wampy thick ass snaps
6:43
is what he called it. But it was there and
6:45
he was just making use of it. So he sat
6:47
on the board across the two drums. There
6:50
were fuel drums for the plane that flies
6:52
in and out. This is on a small
6:54
lake. They flew in on a Super Cub
6:56
on platoons. It was
6:58
just big enough for that Super Cub
7:00
to take off and land. And if the wind
7:02
was bad, he'd have to wait till the wind
7:04
shifted before he can, you know, make a run
7:06
of it because it was only long one way.
7:09
He couldn't take off into the wind in any
7:11
direction, any pilots know what I'm talking about. So
7:14
he just checked in the scene and it dawns
7:16
on him what's bothering him. There
7:18
hasn't been a bird shirt. There
7:21
hasn't been a squirrel chatter. There hasn't
7:23
been no movement whatsoever outside of him
7:25
and Art. And he's like, why?
7:28
We're in remote Alaska. Why
7:31
is there not birds and bees? It's
7:33
daylight. Wherever these things happen. He puts
7:35
his thumb on what's been bothering the
7:37
dead silence, right? So he's
7:39
like, okay, well, maybe there's a bear
7:41
in the area. He did a little bit of research.
7:43
He wanted to know what he was getting into, coastal
7:45
brown bears, all that. Most people look at because that's
7:47
the main thing you're going to worry about in Alaska
7:49
is bears. He circles around the cabin
7:51
a few times. He's kind of chain smoking at this
7:54
moment because something's still not right.
7:56
He figured out what's been bothering him, but
7:58
it hasn't given him any piece of mind,
8:00
right? So as he's walking around
8:02
on his like third lap around and on like
8:04
his fourth cigarette because he would stop periodically or
8:06
whatever, he's like, I need to slow down my
8:09
smoking, I'm gonna run low on supplies and this
8:11
cart may get last me the time I'm here.
8:14
So he's finishing up the last one as
8:16
he comes around and he doesn't even notice
8:18
that Art had been staring on the porch,
8:20
staring off across the pond, that's right out
8:22
in front of him, the
8:24
last two laps he did. When he
8:26
realizes Art's there, he goes, hey, did
8:29
I wake you? And he goes, no. And he points
8:31
and he points across the pond as he turns
8:33
and looks, he doesn't see anything at first. He
8:35
goes, what are we looking at? And he goes, look.
8:38
And he's giving him a look like, just
8:41
look and watch. And Art's being
8:43
just deadpan, looking
8:45
in that direction. So he looks and then he
8:48
turns, gets underneath Art to look in the
8:50
same direction because Art's holding out his hand. And
8:52
then he sees this dark silhouette that's
8:54
slightly coming out from behind the trees,
8:57
looking, doing this number and then going
8:59
back in. And it was doing it
9:01
from both sides of the day. It looked like
9:03
a group of three or four trees offset from
9:05
each other. So it looked like a bunch of
9:07
trees, but there was obviously space between them. So
9:09
this thing was coming out this side looking and
9:11
then coming out the other side looking after
9:14
a short pause in between and it
9:16
would alternate each time to a different side.
9:18
So they're both hypnotized by what the hell
9:20
is that? Bigfoot, Harry
9:22
man. He came out from California, which
9:24
he's seen in the Patterson Gimlin film.
9:26
He was aware of the Bigfooting and
9:28
discovering Bigfoot and all that. Oh,
9:31
and by the way, this was almost 10
9:33
years ago that this went down. They're in
9:36
shock. They're seeing it, but it's not registering
9:38
exactly what's going on with this freaking
9:40
Harry man peeking around the tree. And
9:42
so he turns to Art and he goes, what
9:45
is that? Art's mad. It's the Harry man. It's
9:47
not good. This cabin had no door knob in
9:49
it yet. They just push a board against
9:51
it to keep the door shut. Cause in
9:53
essence, there's no stairs for a bear
9:56
to come up. They'd hear it, try and climb up the barrels.
9:58
If it was trying to get in the door. type
10:00
of thing. Security pops
10:02
in his head. He wants to be safe. He
10:04
didn't have any firearms of his own but
10:07
the pilot had brought
10:09
in under instruction from the owner,
10:11
owner of the owner's shotguns in
10:14
a case with a bunch
10:16
of buckshot and slugs. Just
10:18
a camp bear gun is what the owner said
10:20
and the pilot had in the case. He didn't
10:22
even open the case. Art had his own rifle.
10:25
Art had a .30-06. Open sights.
10:28
He had his own protection. So he's
10:31
trying to figure out where my art's not
10:33
freaking out because art's up on the deck
10:35
or the you know what's there of the
10:37
deck and Jeff is going back and
10:40
forth looking up at art like, hey what
10:42
are we doing? We're going to move out of my way
10:44
so I can get up and get that shotgun. He goes
10:46
don't get a gun. Art says don't get a gun. We
10:48
don't want a gun. So just get out
10:51
of my way. I want the gun to do. Snap
10:53
out of it. This thing is right over there. That
10:55
kind of deal and I understand. He
10:57
pushes away past art and art's like you're making
10:59
a mistake. Don't start shooting at it. It's over
11:01
there. It's just checking us out. Don't worry. It'll
11:03
leave. He kept saying that over and
11:05
over. It'll leave and then he walks back into the
11:07
cabin behind Jeff as Jeff's popping this thing open loading
11:09
up the shotgun. He loads it
11:11
up. He doesn't look at what shells he's using.
11:13
He just loads it up. The buckshot and slug
11:16
can't go wrong either way, right? So
11:18
he loads up the five rounds, pumps it,
11:20
throws in a sixth round. Goes
11:23
back out on the deck and he's looking
11:25
back over into that shadow spot to where
11:27
the movement was going on. Now this is
11:29
at the 10 o'clock at night so it's
11:31
not getting dark but it's getting darker so
11:33
everything in the tree line underneath the foliage
11:35
of the tree it's almost
11:37
pitch black. If there's a gap in
11:39
between the trees with light behind it,
11:41
it's because of the sun still on
11:43
the backside of it. It's basically a
11:45
black silhouetted mass underneath the trees at
11:48
this point. He gets down and he
11:50
starts walking towards the pond to hook and
11:52
follow the little trail around. He Wasn't
11:55
feeling anything honest other than this weird thing.
11:57
So I'm gonna go check it out. Wanted
12:00
to find out. So. He does walk
12:02
around this little cat that wraps a whole
12:04
pond. And he gets over by
12:06
that spot and he's working and he's realizing way.
12:09
The. Script decreases lot bigger than than Alice
12:11
from back over there. Missing.
12:13
Handed many terrorists foot tall
12:15
Estonian on the overall holy
12:18
shit dissing best. So.
12:20
Immediately he was a happy with his decision
12:22
So he says back then with rights and
12:24
just. Give. The hell out of there. Is
12:27
back over by the force and at this point
12:29
when he gets to the porch aren't smoking a
12:31
cigarette? Sept. Thirty Six phone against
12:33
the wall and is still up on
12:35
elevated death. Just. Us or join
12:37
them with the cigarettes as shut them down. In.
12:40
Art starts explaining to her death what
12:42
he believes is it's just curious he
12:44
seen it before of near fair banks
12:46
or wherever he was from. They typically
12:48
will watch stuff probably end up screaming
12:50
and dress of stuff. But.
12:53
Art. Said he was paid attention and didn't appear
12:55
there was a others with. He. Figured
12:57
it was just on loan. Young in don't
12:59
about his own way and was this theory
13:01
someone's gonna over there talk an art had
13:03
com jeff down. And. Or didn't
13:06
care of, just calm down know he was the
13:08
stating myself. He was a matter of fact Mattis
13:10
and he and his dad is one interrupting the
13:12
net Gave Jeff. Relative sense
13:14
of peace Because this native Alaskan is and.
13:17
Worked. Up so I need to calm down. And
13:19
follow his lead. He's from here. He knows what he's
13:21
talking. not as nice. As more knowledge than
13:23
I do. So. He. Accepts
13:26
what's going on and just cause our.
13:28
Our. Brings up hey, there's still plenty of
13:30
left overs with kids that eaten up. And.
13:33
Relax inside. So. That way
13:35
when I have a much access to garbage. He
13:38
didn't want us to create an issue by have
13:40
an extra food garbage over and the burnt his.
13:42
To. Potentially bring him already sinks they wanted
13:44
nothing to do it that together to good
13:46
idea. I'm still hungry and nothing bad has
13:49
happened. This seems dissuade between some trees and
13:51
they didn't really get a full on look
13:53
at her eyes so it was easy to
13:55
compartmentalize and is going to eat. And
13:57
that's what they did and still light out damning
13:59
as. That point, a New Year, it didn't really
14:01
gets dark all night. Bows. Mean
14:04
like does with no sign on the rise
14:06
and like when you i just the trees
14:08
were dark to snare silhouetted stay he they
14:10
get done. He. Goes back our such
14:12
as smoking other cigarette with our. Our.
14:14
At this point as a stack jonathan he likes
14:17
his guy hitting give a shit and Jeff's mouth
14:19
and smoke didn't matter to our. He. Was
14:21
in a smoke and do be. As
14:23
are smokers. Is trying to tell
14:25
Jeff a ban experience he had. He
14:28
said he was with some indians s both. Which.
14:30
Sooner submarines that I'd off. He didn't remember
14:32
exactly what remote village it is but it
14:35
was on the border on the Yukon river
14:37
between Canada and Alaska. There was some small
14:39
village in that area worth this incident are
14:42
does explain to him half as and he
14:44
told him that in this incident that happened.
14:47
Victories. Was curious it had stole
14:49
something out of the smokehouse. There was
14:51
a rabbit quarters or something never been
14:53
smoked at the time or porcupine. something
14:55
for me. Preservation was mean, tended to
14:58
at the time the same team and
15:00
stole from his and that was his
15:02
own Experience with it was mischief. And
15:05
as looking for food. And thus there
15:07
on the reference they have rights. they assume
15:09
nothing bad was gonna happen with this. He
15:11
presses, nothing has and so as are sitting
15:13
there disgusting that are smoking way on his
15:15
do be. And he gets
15:17
about halfway done. And. Realizes
15:20
hand offer. Just say yes to do not.
15:22
Part of this ends and just now by
15:24
I'm paranoid enough right now. Maybe another time
15:26
on this isn't going on. Maybe I'll join
15:29
you on ass. Arsenal. Harm no
15:31
foul he puts out is that the do burning
15:33
but he has back inside. And
15:35
are is. apparently I'm stays that was
15:37
gone on and he signed a try
15:39
to rationalize explore Mill as exactly what's
15:42

17:25
He joins them inside. They're chopping it up a little bit. And
17:28
the guy that hired Jeff had sent
17:30
out some R&R whiskey and a couple
17:32
other adult beverages. Some Jack Daniels just
17:34
as a selection for after the work
17:36
day for the boss man. He's got
17:39
you some liquor. And he realizes
17:41
it and Art points it out. And there's some
17:43
Jack or whatever over there if you'd like a
17:45
nightcap or whatever. He goes over
17:47
and he gets his little glass and there was
17:49
still some unmelted ice in the cooler. When Art
17:51
came in with the food supplies and stuff, there
17:53
was still left in there. So Jeff scoops some
17:55
ice out. Had a little whiskey on the
17:57
rocks and he's sipping a little bit and he wants another
17:59
shake. He's just going to stand on
18:01
the porch. He felt no need to take
18:03
a gun with him and Art's laid out
18:06
on his old pallet and is about to fall
18:08
asleep. So, just I'll be quiet. I'm going to
18:10
smoke a cigarette and I'll call it a night
18:12
after that. Art's just, yeah, whatever, dude. Do your
18:14
thing. I'm not worried about it. Art was ripped
18:16
and you was ready to lay down. Jeff
18:18
goes out on the porch, closes it
18:21
because there's this hole where the door knob should be
18:23
that they put in yet. So he just sticks his
18:25
finger in it and pulls it shut. It
18:27
wasn't exactly a good fit, but the door just
18:30
kicked open just a little bit because there's
18:32
no knob to hold any place. So
18:34
he's standing there, he's smoking a cigarette and on
18:36
the short little piece of railing that's existing at
18:39
this point, he sets his glass on and he
18:41
sets it from it every couple of hours off
18:43
to smoke. While he's sitting
18:45
on it, there was pieces of
18:47
plastic on the ground around this work area
18:50
from where they were doing the vapor barrier.
18:52
He kept seeing movement out
18:54
of the corner of his right eye, but
18:57
he had seen it earlier too because there's
18:59
some plastic that would gently move in the
19:01
wind. It didn't concern him, this movement. So
19:03
he reaches over shortly after that he sees
19:06
the movement or whatever and he's taking a
19:08
drink of the whiskey and the movement catches
19:10
his eye again, but that movement was
19:13
this hairy man stepping right out in the view
19:15
10 feet away from him, almost eye to eye
19:17
with him without fault it
19:19
was and just giving him a
19:22
deadpan stare like, what are you
19:24
doing here? Not in a threatening way.
19:26
It wasn't, I'm not going to eat you. It
19:28
was just deadpan. What are you doing here? That
19:31
kind of thing. He said he
19:33
was so startled. He dropped his drink.
19:35
He burned his hand because he had the cigarette
19:38
and it was basically one of these numbers and
19:40
he's trying to get the burning ember off that
19:42
stuck to his wrist and he's
19:44
stumbling backwards. He falls into the door. Backwards,
19:47
they sound like a dog barking saying, Art, so
19:49
fast. Art heard the commotion
19:51
and looked and then saw him fall back
19:53
in the door. So at this point, Art
19:55
was already standing up and using his rifle
19:57
to get stood up and as Art did.
20:00
Jeff said he was laying on his back looking
20:02
out the door when this thing stepped in the
20:04
full view in front of him and just leaned
20:06
into like by the rail was about here
20:08
and it just leaned and looked at him
20:11
again and then walked off. Oh,
20:13
good God. I didn't shoot. Dude's
20:16
freaked. He's like, what is that? And he
20:18
goes, this is a hairy man. He goes, dude, that's a
20:20
monster. Jeff is freaking. He said he ain't
20:23
never seen a real life monster in his life until
20:25
that day and he said a hairy man in Bolshia
20:27
was a monster. He said this
20:29
thing was a monster. His words. I'm
20:31
trying to reconvey his emotional state when he
20:33
was reliving it with me. He
20:36
shuts the door. He's trying to pack shit in front
20:38
of this door, right? And I said, well, it rest.
20:41
It was just basically our arts
20:43
trying to appease him is what he's doing because
20:45
he was just bullshit and I'm
20:47
like, he says, no, he wanted peace.
20:49
If he didn't want peace, he
20:51
would have killed you. Right. And just said it just like
20:53
that. So so just what do you mean? It would have
20:55
just killed me. He's looking for explanations
20:58
as arts just giving him crimes of
21:00
nothing. And he laughs when he was telling
21:02
me this. He goes, I wanted to choke art. He
21:04
was like, hey, look, you dumb stoner.
21:07
Tell me something. Tell me something that makes
21:09
sense. Right. And he's calling art names, calling
21:11
a dumb stoner. You're worthless. Want to be
21:14
hippie. An artist is standard looking at him
21:16
like I am. OK. OK.
21:19
Fair enough. Whatever, man. Art
21:21
was unfazed. He was unshuffed by it
21:23
and just losing his shit. Right. Fair
21:26
enough. The thing was looking at him
21:28
in the eye and he felt like it was
21:30
trying to let him know he's watching him. Not
21:34
art. Him. So Jeff's got that feeling
21:37
and he's wide awake. Wide
21:39
awake. He's over in the corner. He's
21:42
got shotgun next to him and he's got open
21:44
bottle of Jack and he's double
21:46
bubble in it as he put it.
21:48
Double bubble every time
21:50
in the cadence of every 15,
21:52
20 seconds trying to calm down.
21:54
He was literally shaking so hard
21:56
he barely being his own skin
21:59
because it was so. traumatizing to him to
22:01
have this thing just step out, look at
22:03
him, he falls down and then it walks
22:05
off. Holy shit. But it
22:07
didn't do anything. It wasn't aggressive in
22:09
any way. It just made itself known.
22:11
I was happy to hear this experience
22:14
because you've seen the videos. He calms
22:16
himself down and he gets drunk. So
22:18
he's into this sloppy, sobby drug stuff and
22:21
starts telling him, look, go to
22:23
sleep. It left. I watched it
22:25
while you're freaking out, drink it. It walked and
22:27
went around the other side of the farm and
22:30
walked away. I saw it disappear into
22:32
the horizon. It left. Jeff
22:34
apologizes to Art about calling him a dumb
22:37
stoner and the various other things he
22:39
said in the moment. Art was like, hey, I know if
22:41
I'm no foul, you were shook up. It
22:43
happens. I was shook up too. The first time it
22:45
happened to me, I stayed dropped for three days and
22:48
thanks calmed down. Once Jeff accepted this
22:51
was going on because initially it was like this
22:53
ain't happening, this ain't happening. They calmed down. He
22:56
ends up falling asleep, wakes up the
22:58
next day, goes out over
23:00
the porch, is smoking a cigarette, is
23:02
collecting his thoughts about what had transpired
23:04
the day before. Art was already up
23:06
outside in the little cooking area. They
23:08
had set up or had breakfast ready,
23:10
coffee ready. Art was on his business,
23:12
right? So he jumps down a
23:14
little barrel of things and tells
23:17
himself, I'm gonna get those stairs in
23:19
today because this barrel of bullshit on over
23:21
it and he still got the hairy man
23:23
on his mind that walked away. So he's
23:25
sitting there. Art hands him his place.
23:27
Oh, you're hardly good here. Eat up. I mean a lot.
23:29
I figured you'd be hungry. He slept in pretty good. It's
23:31
almost 11 o'clock and
23:34
Jeff's all shit. Days half over kind of thing
23:36
for us. Karthman as we start early 7 a.m.
23:38
and 12, 6, 7 a.m. He's feeling bad for
23:41
oversleeping but circumstances he forgives himself. So
23:43
he's eating this meal and oh man,
23:46
it was so good. Halfway through the
23:48
meal, Art comes and sits directly across
23:50
the month. He's drinking coffee and smoking
23:52
a cigarette and he goes, oh, the
23:55
hairy man's back. Just naturally drinking
23:57
his coffee, right? Jeff, this stuff.
24:00
with his plate and he goes, what the hell are you talking
24:02
about? It's back. And immediately he drops the plate on the ground,
24:04
stands up, is looking all around, runs,
24:06
gets back in there, grabs the shotgun,
24:09
comes back out, and Art was
24:11
like, calm down. I got the rifle right there. Calm
24:13
down. He said, it came back.
24:16
It circled the ramen once while we were
24:18
sleeping. It looked in the window once. I
24:20
made eye contact with it, said,
24:22
Chamai. And it left. He
24:25
goes, I said hello to it. It left. Said,
24:27
Chamai, it's gone. We got nothing else
24:29
to worry about, right? Just screw
24:31
you, dude. Why are you so calm? There
24:34
was a monster frickin' running around here. And you're
24:36
just like, yeah, I said hi to it. And
24:38
they left. No big deal, whatever. And
24:41
that was Art's attitude. Nonchalant didn't do nothing.
24:43
It was just like, oh, it moves across
24:45
the yard. It moves across the grid. There
24:47
was nothing. What that going
24:49
on, Jeff, is at a boiling point
24:51
of confusion on, he's talking what to
24:53
do. He's borderline wants Art
24:55
to make the satellite call or the
24:58
BHF call, whatever line of communications they
25:00
had set up. I think it was
25:02
an antenna of BHF. So
25:04
he wanted him to radio for a plane
25:07
to get him the hell out of there. He
25:09
didn't care how much money he was getting paid. He
25:11
goes, Art, calm down. The owner is going to be
25:13
flying in this afternoon. We'll discuss it
25:15
with him. If you still want to
25:17
go, then I'm sure the plane, it'll be right
25:19
here anyway. There's no need to emergency call. They're
25:21
going to be here anyway. It's good weather. They're
25:24
going to fly. Jeff, calm down. OK, I'm going
25:26
to ask the owner what the, you and
25:29
yet you get ready to give him both girls
25:31
with shit. Then he goes on
25:33
and the plane ain't coming yet. Now
25:35
it's getting on 5, 6 p.m. and
25:37
Jeff's normally used to California daylight
25:40
to where 6, 7
25:42
p.m. is nighttime. It's getting dark,
25:45
not Alaska. So he doesn't even realize
25:47
it's 6 or 7. So by the
25:49
time he starts complaining, it's already
25:51
9 p.m. and they hear the plane
25:53
coming. So in Jeff's mind
25:55
with all the daylight, it's been
25:58
a very long day. Why has it been? midday
26:00
so long to think. So
26:02
in his mind's eye, Jeff thinks it's six
26:04
or seven-ish. It's actually going
26:06
on nine, closer to ten or
26:09
whatever when I see the plane circling around, checked
26:11
the wind, the little wind sock that has set
26:13
up and came on and landed. Here
26:16
comes the owner. Really nice guy.
26:18
He's only talked to him on the phone
26:20
and via email. They've only
26:22
had limited conversation. Teleconference, that's what
26:24
it was between the owner,
26:26
his wife and Jeff. That's what it was,
26:28
teleconference. This was damn near a decade ago.
26:30
So they didn't have all the little fancy
26:32
apps we have now. Guy gets
26:34
there saying, hey, how you liking it? Jeff's
26:37
immediately, look man, there's a monster running around
26:39
here. Art don't give
26:41
a shit. It doesn't bother him. One iota.
26:44
It bothers me. I need
26:46
to go. Owner's a thumbnail. That
26:48
thing's been around for years. It hasn't hurt
26:50
anyone. It keeps scaring people off the
26:53
job. I need this done. It doesn't
26:55
do anything. It doesn't hurt nobody. It
26:58
merely comes around, checks it out,
27:00
hasn't broke, hurt or done anything in
27:03
five years. Jeff's, I don't give
27:05
a shit. I don't care. It's
27:07
a monster. I want out of here. Goes
27:10
back and forth with the owner. The owner
27:12
offers another substantial amount of money because
27:14
he really liked Jeff's work. His portfolio was
27:16
on point with his interior finish work and
27:18
the guy really liked it. So he kept
27:21
bumping up the offer incrementally and Jeff kept
27:23
saying, hell no. If all is
27:25
down to Jeff tells the guy to give back, the
27:27
guy's trying to placate him and just pacify him with
27:30
little things that I'll never heard. No, I've never heard
27:32
no one. Why would I need to tell you something
27:34
is dangerous when I ain't heard no one? Because Jeff's
27:36
saying you lied to me and didn't tell me everything.
27:38
It was heated. Not like a
27:41
full blown argument, but Jeff was
27:43
giving him a piece of his mind and he felt
27:45
lied to. And in essence, he
27:47
was a little bit, he wasn't fully
27:49
informed. Anyway, he basically clicked on the
27:51
spot and the owner
27:54
happened to be the one
27:56
piloting the plane that day. So
27:59
it didn't even. dawn on him that
28:01
there was no pilot but it was
28:04
just the owner and the owner had brought
28:06
someone with him, some associate of some kind
28:08
that was looking potentially buy land from the
28:10
owner that was adjacent to this place. He
28:12
was multitasking, he was being the pilot that
28:14
day, gonna show some property and then check
28:17
on his new employees. Anyway,
28:19
it then once dawned out Jeff that the
28:21
owner is the pilot, he changed
28:23
his attitude because he wanted to fly out and
28:26
the products are the owner is I
28:28
wasn't flying out tonight I
28:30
wasn't flying out tonight we need to stay
28:33
the night there's a weather system coming in
28:35
and it's probably hitting keen eye now working
28:37
this way so we may not even get
28:39
out tomorrow so call him down.
28:42
We're all here Jeff's not hearing any of it he
28:44
goes I already quit don't expect me to lift the
28:46
tool guys know it's fine and Jeff I
28:48
still don't have the money you lied to me the guys look
28:51
you're covered don't worry we'll
28:54
make that happen we can ride it out
28:56
this evening just calm down now
28:59
that you're not working for me we're just friends here or
29:01
acquaintances we're just gonna get
29:04
through the night no harm no foul so
29:06
the owner knocks one out on his leaves with his
29:08
little associate he's gone gushed on this other piece of
29:10
the property too and they're gone
29:12
they're gone for it's not fully dark that
29:14
time of year but they do see the
29:16
clouds moving towards them. Jeff and are already
29:18
inside he had dinner he's calmed down about
29:20
the situation but he's resolute he's out of
29:22
here he don't give a crap so
29:25
they're sitting down there wondering where
29:27
these guys at maybe we should go look so yeah
29:30
I'm gonna grab the rifle you go ahead and
29:32
wait here you already worked up I'll go in
29:34
I'll go and track them down so
29:36
Art leaves about 15 minutes
29:39
later he hears the voices talking so he
29:41
assumes it's them coming back from where
29:43
they were so it's going along
29:45
and he's what are they talking about because he
29:47
was hearing some kind of gibberish that wasn't making
29:49
sense and he goes are they arguing so he
29:51
goes out onto the porch and he
29:53
looks in the direction where the trail leads to the back
29:55
side of the property where they were sharding it And
29:58
he sees two dark figures. Up by the
30:00
side the trees. But as silhouetted to
30:02
where he kept. so what the hell buddy
30:05
keep really realize it was big. Whatever. These
30:07
two things for a big making these noises
30:09
and screw that that. Grabs
30:11
as shocked as wings. A couple shots in
30:13
the air. And does
30:15
things disappear and the trees does
30:18
snow leaps. Mona. Slayer.
30:21
Are. The owner and his daughters
30:23
associates can barely enough to pass.
30:25
The associate had a Slow Harrys
30:27
an innocent looking my James Bond
30:29
so. They. Get their news. They
30:31
were right there. You guys ran right past him and
30:33
they're like we saw them. Tuck, they didn't mean us
30:36
anymore and Jeff wasn't having any of it. Didn't believe
30:38
is. He. Goes You just stand there unless
30:40
he sings. I went out here for sing them
30:42
are care with the weather is. An
30:45
hour as whoa. Calm down. So. Things
30:47
calm down from that. A genocide.
30:49
Saturday. Morning. Klaus.
30:52
The showers and past overnight it was
30:54
beautiful the next morning when he opened
30:56
his eyes or thirties be are a
30:59
as. The. Sun was already out, And
31:01
it was beautiful. There's birds chirp First
31:03
time you've been there can be they
31:06
see was there that he heard birds
31:08
chirp, a squirrel shattering. He heard the
31:10
ravens in the background. By law doesn't
31:12
burn case and everything stealth right. He
31:14
felt better. He felt like that presence
31:16
that had been around for days is
31:18
is now not. Pose.
31:21
As the owner gets up of our
31:23
speeds every by. And. The
31:25
associate stays with our. And
31:27
they stay there and jeff less
31:29
with the owner. And is
31:32
now in California as as I am
31:34
do next s Alaska. He. Said
31:36
honestly. How many places in
31:38
the state are you aware of that?
31:40
These things are innocent. Potentially everywhere. as
31:42
is Alaska. Potentially everywhere. I have so
31:44
many reports and so far outside of
