hey guys Chris here today we have a
story from a hunter in Alberta Canada
along the Rocky Mountains and they're
late at night he has a face-to-face
encounter with something extremely
frightening also
we have viewer comments from you guys
that are really interesting and scary
okay guys I am in the northern Sierra in
the very deep Woods here I got a
beautiful little stream next to me I
don't even know the name of it and it's
a little spooky in here it's midday it's
like 2 33 in the afternoon but it's
really dark in here and quiet I'm here
in birds and some things around me and
some noises and stuff it's it's
interesting but for today's beer we have
a hazy bear hug
by The Goose Island beer company and
that is a hazy
IPA with a chill bear on it and that
chill bear just came out of the chill
Creek here so that
and it is not exploding on me today
so that's a good thing
yeah lots of ferns around here and hear
the birds making noises and stuff it's a little
little
there we go hazy IPA cheers I'm gonna go
that has definitely got the hazy IPA
thing going on very very tasty
okay so this story comes to us from one
of our viewers his name is Anton he goes
by the name Tony and Tony is from Bosnia originally
originally
currently lives up in Alberta Canada
and in 2017
he went hunting with a couple of his
friends Mario and marinco and they went
to Western Alberta
in between the towns of nordeg
and Rocky Mountain House
Mountain House needles interesting
and this is just east of the Rocky
Mountains and just east of Banff and
Jasper National Park
up there great great national parks
beautiful country I've actually been up
there amazing Wild Country it's grizzly
bear country up there as well
they go hunting for the afternoon in the
okay day
Tony actually shoots a small deer it's a
two by two which from what I know is two antlers
antlers
two horns and then two spikes on each
horn two by two
they're happy at least they got
something for the day bring it back to
start dressing it out
and then make a campfire get some dinner going
have a few beers
enjoying each other's company just kind
of hanging around around the campfire
and then marinko
says Hey guys did you hear that
and he had heard
some branches breaking and something not
too far into the forest
and they both looked at each other Tony
and Mario
I'm not sure what you're afraid of but
we didn't hear anything so
go back to the campfire and join
themselves hanging out they're talking
and then marinko again says you guys did
you hear that there's definitely
something out there
and then this time
they laughed at him
they said
what are you afraid of though we didn't
hear anything and
they totally dismissed him
don't do that to people
we've heard enough stories never dismiss people
again they go back to the campfire
hanging out a third time he says okay I
definitely heard something out there
and they said okay so Mario and Tony
get the hunting rifles and a good
flashlight and they get up
and they go into the darkness into the forest
forest
and go around with the light just shine
in the light into the darkness they
don't hear anything they don't see
anything they go about a hundred yards
out there kind of going back and forth
kind of sweeping the forest
still they don't hear or see anything
and they feel confident they got their
should be okay
you know they know how to handle
themselves they come back in the camp
tell them
orenco we didn't see anything we didn't
hear anything we should be okay dude
it's okay
so they go back to the campfire so it's
getting late about 11 30 at night
they didn't have tents set up but they
decided they were going to sleep in
their vehicles so Mario had a Toyota SUV
gonna sleep in the back of that
and marinco and Tony were going to sleep
in his Jeep Grand Cherokee and they were
kind of tightly packed in between the
trees bumper to bumper
in the forest so Tony's in the Jeep
Grand Cherokee laying next to morenco
and above him is a sunroof
in the Jeep
he looks out before he falls asleep and
he can see the star of Vega that's what
he told me
also the Coleman lantern they turned it
down a little bit but they left it on on
the picnic table
apparently they needed a little extra
light while they're getting organized or
something I don't know I don't normally
leave lanterns on it I don't trust them
he falls asleep and then he's awoken by
movement of the Jeep the Jeep kind of
rocks like someone
lightly shoved the Jeep
he wakes up and he's looking out the
sunroof and he sees that the star Vega
has now moved
and so some time went by so he checks
his phone
it's 2 30 in the morning
and he's laying there and just a moment
later he feels
this vulnerability like he's being watched
watched
and it's really weird because he's
inside of a vehicle inside of a Jeep
laying down you know you got the doors
above you and
and he feels like he's being watched
so Tony's laying there
and he's feeling some vulnerability
and a little bit of fear set in and he
slowly turns his head to the left
and there he sees
this huge silhouette just a few feet
away just outside the window of the Jeep
staring at him
hairy silhouette
and at first he thought this is a
somebody came into the campsite to scare them
them
and then he thought this is a renegade
person that came out of the forest like
a feral person that came out of the
forest and was checking them out
he didn't know what he was looking at
this thing was seven to eight feet tall
and had a protruding
brow on its forehead these dark eyes a
wide mouth and the square chin it
resembled apithecanthropists
which is the ancient Java Man
essentially a caveman
it wasn't ape it wasn't human he
actually made a drawing
of this from his memory
this thing was seven to eight feet tall
standing there staring right down at
both of them looking back and forth
and it did have aggression but it had
what Tony described as curiosity
it's like this curious
monster staring at him and so it put
this fear into him and he could feel the
back of his neck the hair comes straight up
up
scared the crap out of him
right then he nudged marinko to wake him up
up
so we could see this and not be alone
morenco mumbled something and
fell back asleep
Tony remembered he had his rifle next to
him on the left side
and he had some bullets
in a box down by the tailgate by his feet
feet
he grabbed the rifle pulled it around
it's the only thing you could think of
and right then this
feral cave dwelling ape human whatever
this thing was it turned and it walked
towards the forest and he could see it
in the lantern light that was still
going on
and he walked right past the deer that
they dressed out earlier that was
hanging in the tree disappeared into the forest
forest
so he wakes up at 6 15 the next morning
right away he tells his two friends when
he experienced the night before they
didn't experience it they were sound asleep
asleep
this thing didn't make a lot of noise it
didn't come in disrupt everything and
everybody it just stared at at them and
he happened to be wide awake
really scary though to be laying there
he's so vulnerable and then have this
seven eight foot tall thing staring at you
you
2 30 in the morning
his friend Mario said well why didn't
you take your rifle and just shoot him
like through the window
and he thought I'd number one I don't
want the bullet to go astray and cause
damage somewhere else I've been trained
not to do that
and number two the sound would have been
so deafening the shoot a 30 odd six
inside of a vehicle you don't do that
and so he didn't feel threatened enough
to do that at that moment I mean it
could have changed in a heartbeat
He also mentioned Tony also mentioned
that he's found Footprints in that area
in the mud
up near these oil rigs apparently
there's some oil rigs up in Alberta and
they were huge Footprints also in the
snow they found a series of footprints
and they were
really far apart four or five feet apart
between steps in like a single line in
the snow
and he took him several steps to get in
between each one to to match it and you
couldn't just do from one to the next
really crazy when you find that in the
snow and you know it's not going to last
very long as well so but that is our
story from Tony in Alberta Canada so
thank you Tony for your story appreciate that
okay so now I have some comments from
you guys you guys have had your own
experiences it's really interesting and
these are just comments right off the
YouTube channel
and so I'm just going to read them right
off my phone here
so this first one is from Nevada hiker
my friend and his wife had pine cones
thrown at them in the Antelope Lake Area
back in 2018 I asked him if the Cones
were falling from trees and they pointed
about 60 feet away into the forest and
said no they're coming from over there
my friend and I were armed but he didn't
want to go see who or what might have
been doing it wow
wow
and that was in context of the story
about the work crew in the RV in the
Plumas National Forest pretty recent video
video
this next one comes from the old fart
that's his name and he says I'm 16 and
have been solo hunting and camping in
the Deep Woods since I was 10. Bigfoot
is the last thing I'm worried about at
this point there's far stranger things
that are out there in the wilderness
where nobody goes much stranger
often it's the place itself that's not
right follow your gut feeling I just
don't talk about what I see or have seen
I think whatever separates this reality
from somewhere something else is
thinning and increasingly allows passage
both directions in certain areas at
certain times
wow I don't know if he's talking about
some kind of a time portals or something
but really interesting comment there so
thank you old fart [Laughter]
[Laughter]
okay so this is Raging Road Runner I
along with this two seasoned police
officers that had almost the exact same
experience on sleepy cat Mountain North
of Meeker Colorado in 1981. none of us
ever went back there again and these two
officers never bow hunted again I hunted
in different areas but I only went one
more time but I absolutely refused to
sleep in a tent in the outback ever again
again
it was a horrible event we had not seen
each other for over 25 years but when we
did meet the first thing was what the
heck was that
I had not heard anything close to that
sound ever again but this guy's
description fitted perfectly
wow I'm not sure exactly what video that
was I kind of lost track but
people here and experiencing things and
it's not just me telling stories there's
there's stuff going on out there
this next comment comes from Sharon 5784
when I had an experience telling other
people I quickly learned that they don't
want to hear it they ask me what kind of
drugs I was on all the way to I don't
believe that
I quashed my story for years I was 17
when it happened I was scared out of my
mind when I hear someone say they were
scared out of their mind over something
I feel like they don't really understand
what that means I was so scared my mind
was trying to grasp at anything that
would make sense
when I couldn't I really thought I must
be going insane
that friends is being scared out of your mind
mind wow
wow
thank you Sharon not sure what happened
when you were 17 but it scared her out
of her mind
okay I've been hearing Thunder around me
and it's starting to rain just a little
bit so we'll see how far I can get with
this okay so this comes from original
six thanks for the video just this past
weekend my husband and I were camping on
a relative's property near Tionesta
Pennsylvania in the middle of the night
we were awakened by what sounded like
dogs barking at coyotes that were
yapping across the woods it was quite
noisy with the sounds of both the dogs
and the coyotes but after a couple
minutes there was a different noise a
howl that was neither dog or coyote and
with that howl there was complete silence
silence
the dogs quit barking and the coyotes
quit barking it was very odd and spooky wow
I've actually heard that before I heard
this howl and then the coyotes
responding to the howl
uh actually up here in the Plumas
National Forest pretty wild
okay so we have Jezebel
Mount Hood is very spooky I spent the
night in a cabin there it was all fun
and the forest was gorgeous I remember
going up a trail and being mesmerized by
how gorgeous it was and it was so quiet
this feeling of dread came over me and
at this one spot extreme fear for no
reason I turned around and left
wow I've never experienced that but
this comes from Midwest message P.S my
husband and I saw some tracks in the San
Isabel Forest large single file tracks
in the snow with a large stride two of
them side by side coming out from under
some trees the snow was fresh from that
morning it was an active area
wow thank you for sending that
this is from afterburner my family and I
had two run-ins with these creatures in
the West Branch of the Feather River
back in the 1970s I have never forgotten
being escorted out of the area by one it
wasn't hostile but it made damn sure to
let me know I wasn't welcome there my
parents had the same experience three
weeks later in the exact same spot
that was from afterburner feather river
which is that way
Middle Fork
I got some kind of a strange bird flying
around making noises up in the trees
just listen for it in case he comes back
this next one comes from Mary fonte6114
Chris I enjoy listening to the stories
this specific story piqued my interest I
live in South America there is two
similar stories by hikers in the Andes
four experienced hikers had an encounter
with the same description or the
unidentifiable being crossed the path
they were walking on
it ran away at lightning speed they
captured five seconds of the creature as
it disappeared in the jungle a similar
encounter happened with a young couple
on vacation hiking in the Amazon wow
checking me out or something I hope it's
a bird
