Hey guys, Chris here. Tonight we have a
story from one of our viewers living in
northern Utah. And there he was hunting,
solo hunting in the Cache National
Forest. One night while he was alone,
something came into his camp and
absolutely terrorized him.
Okay, so we are right next to this
stream in the Sierra Nevada and like I
said, what a perfect beer to have to be
in the Sierra Nevada is the Pale Ale. I
have had this before and
it is a good one. And we are going to
Let's see. I put some in the can here
and it's uh definitely got an amber
quality to it.
Yeah, it's got a smooth hoppiness to it.
It's a really good chilled
and almost a sweetness to it on the
finish. Just a little bit. It's not
super bitter and uh it just it tastes
really good and that's all I need is
about 12 ounces. So So there you go. So cheers.
So this story, like I said, comes to us
from one of our viewers. His name is
Nicholas. And Nicholas
heard or actually saw the story about
Rodney who was in northern Utah and he
was hunting as well.
And I did his story a couple of years
ago. And Rodney, if you remember, was in
the Cash National Forest, northern Utah.
And I believe his wife had just passed
away. So he's feeling kind of down
obviously. and he set up his camp for
the night and went for this walk and he
found this tent. I always remember this
tent and there was no one in the tent
and no cars there, nothing. There was a
couple of lawn chairs. One of them was
knocked over, I believe. And it looked
like someone was there recently and had
bugged out and bugged out in such a
hurry they didn't even take their tent
with them and a couple of the lawn
chairs. And then that night outside of
his I think he had a five or six man
tent, something came up out of this
drainage up to the edge of his camp and
was screaming this blood curdling scream
and moved around his camp.
A very terrifying story. And he was by
himself. Well, this same area about four
years ago, this is where Nicholas went.
I'm going to call him Nick. Hope that's
okay, Nick, because it's just easier to
say Nick versus Nicholas.
Four years ago, Nicholas Nick wanted to
go hunting with his good friend in the
cash national forest. C A C H E, like
they're going to cash some furs or meat.
That's what the mountain men used to do.
They would cash their supplies or their
goods and they would dig a hole and they
would cover it and they would kind of
like bury treasure almost. And this cash
national forest is also part of the Wasace
Wasace
National Forest which goes into Utah,
Wyoming as well. Utah and Wyoming. 2.2
million acres in northern Utah and Wyoming.
Wyoming.
Huge national forest.
And this is where Nick was going to go
hunting with his friend and they got two
elk tags and something came up with his
friend. His friend couldn't make it.
Something came up with his family. So
Nick decided to go by himself to this
area. Now this area was new to him. He'd
never been there before. So he wanted to
keep it simple, keep it easy, and he
followed the main road, got off on into
the national forest, and then he did
this little side road and just went as
far as he could, parked his vehicle, and
he called it a Suz, like an Isuzu. And I
looked it up. I all I got was Suz, so
I'm assuming it was an Isuzu rodeo SUV,
smaller SUV. and he went back there and
spent the night,
got up early the next day,
and he went to this area to the north of
him where he was parked. And this was uh
east of Highway 39 is what he said, and
then north of there,
whatever the map shows, but he's in the
Cache National Forest. and he went into
this northern section
of this forest
and he got this location,
pretty thick brush, and he said there
was like this hallway or avenue where he
could see elk that were coming out of
the private land into the public land.
and he thought this would be a good
place to uh wait for an elk to c come
across or maybe even use this corridor
as a route in this spot early in the
morning. Thought it was a great spot.
Good chance opportunity to bag an elk.
And after just a few minutes, he had
this weird feeling is what he called it
come over him.
this feeling of being watched, this
feeling of being vulnerable, this
feeling of being very uncomfortable and
unsettled and not even sure why.
And he's sitting there and he kind of
waited and he waited till about 9 and
then he waited till about 11:00. He sat
there for several hours, but he never
felt comfortable. In fact, this feeling
got worse and worse as he went. So he
decided to just get out of there and
just move back towards his vehicle and
then head east. This was to the north
and he was going to head east. And he
said right away he felt comfortable. He
felt fine. He felt as he moved away he
just felt better
about not being in that area anymore.
He continued his hunt. He was going up
up up these ridges looking for elk.
Didn't have any success.
Came back,
and was just hanging out in the camp,
enjoying the evening,
and he's in the cash national forest,
2.2 million acres. And we kind of uh
lose track in how large these forests
can be. We're used to being in a vehicle
and just going up and over a pass and
down the other side of a mountain. And
we can go over a mountain range in an
hour, hour and a half, depending on how
wide it is obviously. But if you go
north and south, if you're hiking, if
you're back there, if you're off the
road, these forests are so vast and so
really unexplored. people are mainly
along the roads, along the highways and
along the trails and obviously in the
little communities and that's where and
campgrounds. That's where people mainly
are found and those all those places are
next to or near the road usually.
And so there are just
millions, literally millions of acres
that there's just nothing but trees and
creeks and forests and ridges and
mountains and things that go bump in the
night. So, just saying. Uh, and I get
into that mode, too, where I'm like I'm
just flying down the highway and I just
see the wilderness as this big
paved trail that I'm following with
these overlooks and views and small
communities that I pass. And it's the
reality is you get up on on a a ridge or
a mountain and a high pass and you can
just see how vast it is. especially if
you're walking or on a small dirt road
and then you're hiking back in this. So,
just wanted to say Nick was by himself
at night in the Cash National Forest.
So, he had his dinner
and he still had this uneasy feeling
about being
just adjacent to this area to the north.
He called it the area to the north and
that is where he had these bad feelings.
Outside that he didn't have that and he
was right at the edge of that and he
just had this very uncomfortable feeling
all evening long
and he's sitting in his camp and he just
couldn't get settled. Decided to go to
sleep 9 10:00 at night.
Goes to sleep. He's sleeping in his Suz
Isuzu Rodeo. I might be off on that, but
that's what I'm assuming it is. And he
had a Winchester
Magnum rifle and a Glock 40 Smith and
Wesson handgun
with him. And that's how he slept in the
back of this vehicle. And I don't know
if he put a board down and then put a
pad on that and a sleeping bag. I'm
assuming needed some kind of a a make
makeshift setup to uh sleep in there so
he's comfortable.
Well, about 1 2 in the morning,
he hears some movement in his camp
and at first he thinks it's a skunk.
Then he thinks maybe it's a bear.
And he's listening. and he's carefully
listening. Doesn't want to jump out and
start yelling. He's got his weapons.
He's kind of coming up with a game plan,
thinking about, okay, what could be out
there. And he realized the back uh I
believe it's a gate door that closes on
the Isuzu was cracked about an inch. And
he was concerned about that because this
sound got louder. and he said it got
louder and louder and closer to his
vehicle. Now, he had tinted windows and
he couldn't clearly see out what was
going on, but he could clearly hear,
especially with the the 1 and 1/2 in
drop in the window. And then he was
starting to feel this terror come over
him, this fear that whatever this is,
it's not a bear, it's not a skunk,
raccoon or something. It's something
else. And almost like uh when a salesman
gets their foot in the door. You've
heard that phrase.
They literally get a crack in the door
and they can get their foot in the door
and then they can kind of keep your
attention and then try to get their way
in to sell you something. Well, he had
that same kind of feeling that what if
this thing could grab the window and
pull it down or bust it out and reach
in. And so he started to come up with a plan,
plan,
like a plan to protect himself if
something went wrong. And he's thinking,
he's not making a sound. He's still in
his sleeping bag. And he's thinking,
"Okay, got the Glock. I can get out of
the sleeping bag. Pull the Glock out. I
can start yelling and then I can shoot.
Got the rifle." He's got some options.
It's not what he wants to do. So he
thought, I'll just listen. I'm just
going to listen. Hopefully this thing
will go away. Whatever it was, it was
big. It was making a lot of noise. He
could hear footsteps moving around his
camp and then around his vehicle. He's
listening to this and he said after a
few minutes of this and when you hear
something in your camp, minutes feel
like I don't want to say hours, but they
feel like a long time, right? I mean,
you're something's out there. And even
20 or 30 seconds is long enough, but a
few minutes of this. And suddenly his
vehicle started rocking back and forth
like this. And he realized this thing,
whatever was out there, grabbed the roof
rack and was moving it like this,
grabbing it and pulling it back and
forth. And so if it was a bear pushing
on it, it would probably do something
like this. pushing from one to side
because bears don't have hands or thumbs
and but this was clearly going like that
like something had a hold of the roof.
He according to what his story was he
didn't see a dark shadow on that side of
the vehicle but he sensed that whatever
this thing was was right there. He instantly
instantly
got out of his sleeping bag.
He didn't say he grabbed his weapon, but
he yelled as loud as he could something
like, "Hey, knock it off. Hey." And he
this thing stopped and he heard this
loud crashing going straight through the
forest away from him.
Interesting. The direction it was going
was to the north. And this is where he
had that bad, terrible, no good feeling
in his chest and in his stomach
that there was something watching him
and something maybe even watching him
all day long. He didn't know, but this
is the direction of this thing that this
found the key and he couldn't see very
well, but he had it in his pocket and he
just grabbed it and it was all feel and
he crawled into the front seat, got into
the seat, started his suzo up, backed it
out, did a three-point turn and got out
of there and went down this dirt road to
the main road. Once he finally got to pavement,
pavement,
he pulled over, found a good place to
pull over where he felt comfortable, he
was far enough away,
and he wanted to make sure. He was
hoping it was a bear.
He was looking for some kind of a sign
that was a bear. He went out and checked
his roof rack, went around the side,
came up, looked, and he could see that
the roof rack, he he said it was broken.
I don't know what that meant. the rods,
one of the rods were bent or the the um
the framework that it's the supports
were busted out, but something was
pretty severely broken. And he said
there were no no bare marks. And I don't
know if I think he meant like bear dirt
paws or even claw marks, but there was
nothing obviously a bear, but there was
hair. There's brownish reddish hair that
was attached inside of the rack
somewhere like something had caught its
hair and it ripped out is what he said.
There's some hair that was on this roof rack.
rack.
He immediately went home. He said he did
not go back there for
four years and then he said this last
fall he went back and I didn't hear the
follow-up story. He sent me Nick sent me
his story in uh early spring and I just
got to it now. So I I got a lot of
stories kind of backlog but that is our
story from Nicholas Northern Utah elk
hunting. I I think I said deer hunting.
I He was elk hunting in northern Utah.
Great country up there. Uh the Uenta
Mountains. Very tall. The high uentas is
what they call them. And very rugged,
very steep. You can get 10,000 11,000
plus feet up there and still the peaks
are 12 I think even 13,000 up there. and
then the Wasach range and then some of
the other mountains and salt of there
and then up into Wyoming, southwestern
Wyoming. I I do love I do love me some
Wyoming. The cowboy the cowboy state
that's a good state. So
now that is our story from Nicholas. I
think I already said that.
But on my way up just tonight, I just
did a random pullover along the West
Fort Carson River. This is a tributary
that'll get there.
And I found, and I'm going to show
pictures as I talk about this.
I don't really know if this was man-made or
or
Sasquatch made, but I found clearly
clearly a structure that was built.
Okay, it was off the road, not too far
off the highway.
I walked down to it. I just wanted to go
down to the river, take some pictures.
cuz I always like going to the river and
hiking around in the rocks and spotting
for fish and uh just looking for great
places to take photos, things like that.
And I found this almost like a wiki up
uh like a like a structure, but
interesting. The main tree that made up
this structure was still intact in the
ground, but the top of it was not only
bent, but twisted and then broke and
then like that.
It and I'm showing you pictures right
now so you can see it.
And there was another one that was
broke. And then all the I noticed all of
the bigger ones were broken off or twisted.
twisted.
And I was expecting maybe
maybe
one of them saw it or a little more
something to it. So it looked
in it's just interesting. Really
interesting. Also, there was a downed
aspen tree. It had been clearly pushed over
over
like that, broken off right at the ground
ground
and this big old aspen tree
I don't know
very 12 13 14 in round at the base
broken over and then and this was just
10 feet from this little structure. So,
I don't know what that really was,
uh, if it was man-made or not, but
really interesting whenever there's
something broken off. And also, I
noticed some of the, uh, the the
branches were kind of um, woven
together, like a branch would wrap
around this way and this way. It was
kind of tucked in there, kind of
strategic. So, really interesting. I
found that as well. So, uh, just just
wanted to mention that. All right, you
guys. Thank you for listening and uh
watching my show. I really been loving
this stream behind you. Isn't that
great? It's like therapy.
I I I need to get this in my living room
and then I can sit in my living room.
Then then I don't even have to leave the
house. I could just have a a creek that
just cycles around like that and get a
couple pine trees in there and a big
a skylight to give give it some sun and
stuff. But uh there you go. So, all
right. Thank you for watching. If you
guys like stories about the strange,
unexplained, and things that go bump in
the night,
please like and subscribe, and we will
see you in the next one. As always, keep hiking.
So, I says to the guy, "What do you
think your Wookie of the Year?" And I go,
