UNEXPLAINED WASHINGTON: UFOs, Sasquatch, Cloaked Beings & A Mysterious Disappearance
Jun 20, 2026
Washington State is known for its volcanic mountains, isolated coastlines, ancient evergreen forests, deep river valleys, military facilities, and immense stretches of wilderness. It is also the setting for some of the most disturbing unexplained encounters ever reported.
In this presentation of UNEXPLAINED WASHINGTON, Lon Strickler examines eight extraordinary cases involving UFO activity, missing time, transparent flying creatures, cloaked humanoids, upright canines, Sasquatch, military secrecy, and an unsolved disappearance that continues to haunt him personally.
A ten-year-old boy camping near Beacon Rock awakens after hours of missing time with his boots on the wrong feet, wet socks, unexplained puncture marks, and no memory of what happened after his dogs began reacting to something in the darkness.
A married couple in Bremerton watches two enormous, transparent creatures with prehistoric features glide silently above their heads. Their reflective bodies appear almost invisible in the moonlight.
Campers near Table Mountain hear footsteps, faint drumming, and movement around their tents before one witness sees a long-limbed gray humanoid crouching between the trees.
A man guarding a rural property encounters a partially cloaked humanoid suspended near an ancient cedar tree. The figure resembles rippling air and produces an immediate, overwhelming wave of dread.
At a gas station in Grayland, a nearly seven-foot-tall employee confronts an enormous canine creature standing upright behind the building.
Near Kirkland, a hiker claims to witness a violent confrontation between a Sasquatch and a translucent reptilian creature capable of producing a mysterious burning substance.
A former United States Air Force serviceman describes a secret assignment following the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Armed guards were ordered to protect heavily concealed figures whose unusual height and proportions led him to question whether they were human disaster victims.
The presentation concludes with the deeply emotional case of Mandy, a young Washington schoolteacher who contacted Lon after strange red-and-white lights appeared near her isolated farmhouse. Telephone failures, electrical blackouts, scratching on the roof, movement in the attic, and terrifying aerial activity followed.

2:09
Radio.
2:11
So, Washington state is a land of
2:15
dramatic contrast.
2:17
It's landscape includes isolated
2:20
coastlines, ancient evergreen forest,
2:23
volcanic mountains, deep river valleys,
2:25
military installations, and vast
2:28
wilderness areas where, you know, a
2:30
person can travel for miles without
2:32
encountering another human being.
2:35
It's also a region with a long and
2:37
disturbing history of unexplained
2:39
activity.
2:40
Now, witnesses have reported strange
2:43
lights moving over mountains and forest,
2:45
enormous unidentified creatures gliding
2:48
silently through the night,
2:50
translucent humanoids watching from the
2:52
trees,
2:54
upright canines stalking rural
2:56
communities, Sasquatch encounters that
2:58
defy conventional explanation.
3:01
Now, some witnesses describe sightings
3:03
lasting only a few seconds. Others
3:06
report missing time, unexplained
3:07
physical marks, electrical disturbances,
3:11
strange odors,
3:12
>> [sighs]
3:12
>> or an overwhelming sense that something
3:15
was watching them.
3:19
Now, tonight we will examine eight
3:21
disturbing accounts from across
3:23
Washington state. These reports involve
3:26
UFOs, possible abduction phenomena,
3:29
flying cryptids,
3:31
cloaked humanoids, upright canines,
3:34
Sasquatch, military secrecy,
3:37
and just one disturbance that continues
3:40
to haunt me personally.
3:43
These are stories of unexplained
3:45
Washington.
3:46
>> [clears throat]
3:47
>> Now, this first account comes from the
3:49
witness
3:50
who grew up in a a large rural property
3:52
near Beacon Rock in Washington State.
3:56
The witness was approximately 10 years
3:58
old and already comfortable spending
4:00
long periods alone in the woods.
4:03
He knew the surrounding property well
4:04
and frequently camped with his dogs.
4:07
Now, his experience began one night
4:10
while he was standing on the front porch
4:12
looking out across the pasture.
4:15
Now, [clears throat] first he believed
4:16
he was looking at the full moon.
4:19
But the light continued growing larger.
4:23
It moved slowly from left to right above
4:25
the tree line.
4:27
>> [clears throat]
4:27
>> And realizing that the object was not
4:29
the moon, the boy turned and ran inside
4:31
to get his older brother.
4:33
When they returned to the porch, the
4:35
light had vanished.
4:37
Now, his brother assumed he had been
4:38
playing a joke and punched him in the
4:40
arm.
4:42
But approximately 1 week later, the boy
4:44
decided to camp in the woods.
4:47
The family owned several hundred acres
4:49
of surrounded by dense forest.
4:52
He walked for about a an hour with his
4:55
Walker dog, Buddy, and an
4:57
Australian Shepherd before finding a
4:59
clearing
5:01
beside a small creek.
5:03
He carried a .22 caliber rifle and began
5:05
preparing the website, excuse me, the
5:07
campsite as darkness approached.
5:11
Now, while he was attempting to start a
5:12
fire, both dogs began behaving
5:14
strangely.
5:16
Buddy started baying loudly.
5:19
That was the last thing the witness
5:20
clearly remembered.
5:22
The next moment he could recall, he was
5:25
inside his tent.
5:27
It was early morning before the birds
5:29
had begun calling.
5:31
The tent flap was partially open and the
5:33
campfire was completely extinguished.
5:36
Buddy was gone.
5:37
The Australian Shepherd stood outside
5:39
the tent whining.
5:42
The boy immediately felt that something
5:43
was terribly wrong.
5:48
He began He became nauseous and vomited
5:51
inside the tent. Although he was still
5:53
fully dressed,
5:54
he discovered that his boots had been
5:56
placed on the wrong feet.
5:59
When he removed them, he noticed that
6:01
his socks were wet.
6:03
The witness had spent much of his
6:05
childhood in these woods.
6:07
The environment was familiar to him, but
6:09
he had no had never been frightened
6:12
there before.
6:14
But that morning, he experienced a level
6:16
of fear he had never known.
6:18
He grabbed his rifle, abandoned the tent
6:20
and the rest of his equipment, and ran
6:23
toward home with the Australian Shepherd
6:25
beside him.
6:28
They did not stop until they reached the
6:30
family pasture.
6:32
His mother was waiting for him. She
6:34
grabbed him and began crying. His father
6:36
and brothers were already searching the
6:38
property because the boy had not
6:40
returned when expected.
6:42
His mother then told him something
6:45
disturbing.
6:47
Buddy had returned to the farmhouse
6:48
alone at approximately 11:00 the
6:50
previous night.
6:52
The dog had been banging and appeared
6:54
distressed.
6:56
Buddy had never voluntarily left the
6:58
boy's side.
7:00
The dog's return indicated that
7:02
something unusual had happened at the
7:03
campsite many hours before the witness
7:06
regained awareness.
7:08
So Several days later, the boy noticed
7:10
two small red puncture marks on his
7:12
right ankle.
7:14
They resembled tiny snake bites.
7:17
He then discovered an identical pair of
7:19
marks on the same position on his left
7:21
ankle.
7:23
The marks immediately reminded him of
7:25
the time he had
7:26
he had lost in the woods.
7:29
There was one additional event.
7:31
On another night, his mother found him
7:33
outside near the family mailbox at
7:35
approximately 10:00.
7:37
He appeared to be sleepwalking, but no
7:40
one understood how he had left the house
7:42
without being noticed.
7:44
Now the witness did still does not know
7:47
what happened in the forest.
7:49
He remembers a strange light at the tree
7:51
line and dogs reacting and then
7:53
awakening hours later with his boots
7:55
reversed, wet socks, nauseous,
7:58
unexplained punctures,
8:01
and no memory of intervening time.
8:04
Was this a childhood misadventure
8:06
followed by confusion and fear?
8:08
Or did the light of Beacon Rock mark the
8:11
beginning of something that followed the
8:13
witness into the woods?
8:17
Now missing time cases are especially
8:18
difficult to investigate because the
8:20
most important portion of the experience
8:22
is absent from the the witness's
8:24
conscious memory.
8:26
We are left with the moments before and
8:29
after, unusual lights, disturbed
8:31
animals, physical illness, misplaced
8:33
clothing,
8:34
unexplained marks, and a powerful
8:36
instinct that something occurred.
8:40
Now our next witnesses remained
8:42
conscious throughout their encounter.
8:45
What they saw was enormous, silent, and
8:48
almost completely transparent.
8:53
So in July 1997, a married couple was
8:56
outside their husband's parents' home in
8:59
Bremerton,
9:01
Washington.
9:02
>> [clears throat]
9:03
>> It was a warm summer night at
9:04
approximately 10:00. And as the couple
9:07
looked toward the evergreen tree line,
9:09
two enormous shapes glided into the
9:12
moonlight.
9:13
The witnesses initially struggled to
9:15
understand what they were seeing.
9:17
The objects were not conventional
9:19
aircraft. They appeared to be living
9:21
creatures.
9:23
Each had a wingspan comparable to that
9:25
of a small Cessna airplane.
9:28
Their heads resembled those of historic
9:31
birds with long pterodactyl-like beaks.
9:35
Their bodies and wings reminded the
9:37
witness of stingrays.
9:39
There were no visible feathers. The
9:41
creatures also appeared to possess feet
9:44
and long prehistoric-looking tails.
9:48
But their most remarkable characteristic
9:50
was their transparency.
9:54
The witnesses could clearly see their
9:56
outlines when the moonlight fell on
9:58
them, yet the the creatures appeared
10:00
almost colorless.
10:02
Their surfaces reflected the surrounding
10:03
environment like glass beneath water.
10:08
The witness compared them to Wonder
10:10
Woman's invisible airplane, clearly
10:13
present but
10:15
but visible only because of the way
10:16
light bent and reflected along their
10:19
form.
10:21
The creatures made no sound.
10:24
There was no wing flapping, mechanical
10:26
noise, or rush of displaced air.
10:28
They appeared to glide or swim through
10:30
the atmosphere.
10:32
One of them descended to approximately
10:34
10 ft above the witness's head.
10:37
It passed her close that they believed
10:40
that they could have touched it if they
10:41
had climbed onto their father's truck.
10:45
The creature continued towards the
10:47
neighboring house and and appeared for a
10:49
moment as though they they might collide
10:51
with the structure.
10:53
But instead, it abruptly changed
10:55
direction,
10:56
glided down the street, and disappeared
10:58
into the darkness.
11:00
The second creature followed.
11:02
The couple did not feel directly
11:04
threatened.
11:05
The beings did not appear to be hunting
11:07
or stalking them. They seemed to be
11:09
passing through the area.
11:11
And when the witnesses told their family
11:13
what they had seen, no one believed
11:15
them.
11:16
The woman later admitted that she might
11:18
have believed her husband either, but
11:21
she did not witness the creatures
11:23
herself.
11:25
She had considered several possible
11:27
explanations. Could they have been a
11:29
prehistoric animal somehow surviving
11:31
into the modern era.
11:33
Were there spirit Were they spiritual
11:36
manifestations?
11:37
Could two separate realities or
11:39
dimensions have briefly overlapped,
11:41
allowing the witness to see something
11:43
that normally existed beyond human
11:45
perception?
11:47
The description resembles reports of
11:49
so-called flying rays, enormous airborne
11:52
forms that move silently, have broad
11:55
memberous
11:56
um
11:58
uh memberous bodies, and are sometimes
12:01
seen near large bodies of water.
12:04
Washington State also has a history of
12:06
alleged terror-saur like sightings.
12:09
The Bremerton
12:11
uh Bremerton creatures did not appear
12:14
entirely solid.
12:16
Their transparency, silence, and
12:18
reflective surfaces, and proximity to
12:20
the water suggest
12:22
that the witnesses may have observed
12:23
something more unusual than an
12:25
undiscovered biological animal.
12:29
Were these flesh-and-blood creatures
12:31
possessing an extraordinary form of
12:33
natural camouflage?
12:36
Were they something cloaked? Or did the
12:38
witnesses glimpse life moving through a
12:40
neighboring reality?
12:43
Now, the Bremerton witnesses described
12:45
enormous creatures that seemed partially
12:47
removed from physical world.
12:50
But our next case contains a similar
12:52
characteristics.
12:54
The beings were humanoid rather than
12:56
airborne, but they also appeared
12:58
distorted, translucent, translucent, or
13:01
com-
13:02
incompletely visible.
13:04
Unlike the creatures of Bremerton, these
13:06
entities were en- were encountered deep
13:09
within Washington forest.
13:13
Now, several friends were camping near
13:15
Table Mountain in Washington State
13:17
during December.
13:19
The weather was cold, and the group had
13:21
established a campsite near a river.
13:24
Now, earlier that day, two members of
13:26
the group had completely completed a
13:28
difficult hike while the other two
13:30
remained behind to gather firewood and
13:33
prepare the camp.
13:35
When the hikers returned, one of them
13:37
thought he saw a man standing near the
13:40
group's equipment.
13:42
The person appeared to be wearing a gray
13:44
t-shirt despite the winter temperatures.
13:47
The figure disappeared before the
13:49
witness could obtain a a clear look.
13:52
Now, the two witnesses had remained at
13:53
the campsite later later reported that
13:55
they had re-
13:57
had repeatedly heard footsteps moving
13:59
around their tent. Now, the sounds
14:01
[clears throat] had been so frequent
14:04
and so close that they assumed the
14:06
hikers had returned and were walking
14:07
around outside.
14:09
But, no one had announced their presence
14:11
or entered the camp.
14:13
And as evening approached, the group
14:15
began cooking dinner. They heard
14:17
movement around the campsite and at
14:20
times it sounded like heavy boots
14:21
sloshing through a nearby river.
14:24
One witness also heard what he described
14:27
as faint drumming.
14:29
Now, although one group member became
14:31
nervous, the primary witness initially
14:33
treated the situation as a joke.
14:36
He repeatedly shown his flashlight into
14:38
the woods and pretended to see something
14:40
in order to frighten his friends.
14:42
Then, on the third or fourth attempt, he
14:44
actually saw something.
14:46
Between two trees was a gray
14:49
human-shaped figure crouched close to
14:51
the ground.
14:52
Its limbs were unusually long. The
14:55
figure began to rise. Its head was large
14:57
and gray with two visible eyes, but no
14:59
other obvious facial features.
15:03
The witness recalled that the being
15:04
appeared to move or support itself using
15:06
its elbows in an unnatural manner.
15:10
Then, it vanished.
15:12
The other campers noticed an immediate
15:13
change in their friend.
15:15
They said he performed a double take,
15:17
lost color in his face, sat down, and
15:20
repeatedly insisted that he had seen a
15:22
deer.
15:24
But the witness knew that was not true.
15:27
He saw deer regularly where he lived.
15:29
The figure he observed did not resemble
15:32
one.
15:33
And over the next hour, the group
15:34
continued to hear movement around the
15:36
campsite.
15:38
A rotten egg odor drifted through the
15:40
area and was later detected inside the
15:42
tent.
15:44
The odor could have had a natural
15:46
origin, but when considered alongside
15:48
the footsteps, the earlier sighting of a
15:50
lightly dressed man,
15:53
and the drumming sounds and a gray
15:55
humanoid, the atmosphere of the campsite
15:56
became increasingly disturbing.
15:59
The witness said he was not immediately
16:01
terrified. Instead, he was confused.
16:05
His mind reached for the quickest
16:07
rational explanation available, and he
16:09
attempted to convince himself that he
16:11
had seen a deer.
16:13
>> [sighs]
16:13
>> But he had not seen a deer.
16:16
He had seen a long-limbed gray humanoid
16:19
crouched between two trees.
16:22
Now, the Table Mountain figure was
16:24
visible only briefly before
16:25
disappearing.
16:27
Was it a physical being that escaped
16:28
into the darkness, or did it possess
16:30
some ability to conceal itself?
16:33
Now, our next witness saw something that
16:35
appeared to be present and absent
16:37
simultaneously.
16:39
Its outline was visible, but its body
16:41
resembled rippling air.
16:44
The emotional effect it produced was
16:46
immediate and overwhelming.
16:50
So, in early August 2016, a man named
16:54
Ben was guarding a rural Washington
16:57
property that he had become
17:00
a gathering which had become a gathering
17:02
place for trespassers, squatters,
17:04
and drug users.
17:06
>> [sighs]
17:07
>> Some of the individuals entering the
17:08
property were known to be violent.
17:10
Because of the risk, Ben carried a rifle
17:12
while patrolling the heavily wooded
17:14
grounds.
17:17
So, one evening, he experienced a sudden
17:19
urge to stop beneath a large old cedar
17:22
tree.
17:23
He set down his rifle and day pack,
17:25
leaned against the trunk, and closed his
17:28
eyes.
17:29
Almost immediately Ben entered in an
17:31
unusually peaceful state.
17:34
The stress and tension associated with
17:36
guarding the property just disappeared.
17:38
He felt calm, centered, and completely
17:41
safe.
17:42
He later described the experience as
17:44
almost zen-like.
17:46
And after sitting beneath the tree for
17:47
some time, Ben opened his eyes.
17:50
He looked toward an alder grove to his
17:53
right.
17:54
Approximately 15 ft above the ground, he
17:56
saw the outline of a humanoid figure.
18:00
But the being did not appear solid. It
18:03
resembled rippling air or a cloaking
18:05
effect depicted in the Predator movies.
18:08
Ben could distinguish the shapes of the
18:10
head, neck, and shoulders, but the rest
18:12
of the figure seemed to dissolve into
18:14
distortion.
18:16
It was as though only a portion of the
18:17
being was visible within normal reality.
18:22
The moment Ben focused on it, the
18:24
peaceful atmosphere disappeared. A wave
18:27
of dread overwhelmed him.
18:29
This was not ordinary fear.
18:31
The sensation struck at such a deep
18:33
instinctive level that Ben became
18:35
convinced any movement might provoke the
18:38
entity.
18:39
He remained frozen beneath the tree.
18:42
Attempting to determine whether his
18:44
vision was playing tricks on him, Ben
18:47
removed his glasses,
18:49
cleaned them on his shirt, and put them
18:51
back on.
18:52
The figure remained in exactly the same
18:54
position.
18:56
Ben then decided that he needed to
18:58
leave.
18:59
He silently counted backward from five,
19:02
and when he reached zero, he grabbed his
19:04
rifle and equipment and ran toward home
19:06
as quickly as possible.
19:09
Nothing visibly pursued him. The entity
19:11
did not appear near the house,
19:13
but the encounter remained in his
19:15
thoughts.
19:18
A friend familiar with European folklore
19:20
suggested that Ben may have encountered
19:22
a forest wit or territorial guardian
19:25
associated with the land.
19:28
Others advised him return with an
19:30
offering.
19:32
Ben avoided the cedar for several weeks,
19:34
and then in September 2016 he returned
19:37
to photograph the location, leave food
19:39
and water.
19:41
And as he approached the tree, the
19:42
feeling of dread returned, though it was
19:44
less intense than during the original
19:46
encounter.
19:48
He did not see the cloaked figure, but
19:50
he strongly sensed that something was
19:52
still present.
19:54
Ben placed the offering on the ground.
19:56
The atmosphere changed.
19:58
He no longer felt threatened.
20:00
He spoke aloud explaining that he was
20:02
only attempting to protect the property.
20:04
He also firmly stated that nothing
20:06
present on the land had permission to
20:08
follow him home.
20:10
Around the same period, Ben discovered a
20:12
sharply defined L-shaped hole
20:15
approximately 75 ft from the cedar.
20:19
The opening did not resemble the work of
20:21
a familiar burrowing animal.
20:24
And during a later visit, he found two
20:25
long gashes in the earth near the hole.
20:29
Each was approximately 2 ft long and
20:31
about the width of a human foot.
20:33
The marks looked as though something had
20:35
driven a heel or narrow edge into the
20:37
soil and dragged it with considerable
20:39
force.
20:41
There was no way to determine whether
20:43
ground disturbances were connected to
20:45
the cloaked figure, but the combination
20:47
of the visible distortion,
20:49
the dramatic emotional shift,
20:52
and repeated sensation of the presence,
20:54
and the unexplained marks suggested that
20:57
Ben might have encountered something
20:58
more substantial than a momentary visual
21:01
illusion.
21:02
Now, was the entity responsible for
21:04
strange sense of peace that drew him
21:07
beneath the procedure
21:09
was a dread or warning of to leave.
21:12
Was Ben observing a cloaked biological
21:14
creature, an interdimensional presence,
21:17
or something traditionally associated
21:19
with the land itself?
21:23
Now, Ben interpreted the presence as
21:25
territorial rather than openly
21:27
predatory.
21:28
Once he stated his intentions and left
21:31
an offering, the threatening atmosphere
21:32
seemed to subside.
21:34
But, the next witness was not given that
21:36
sense of
21:38
reconciliation.
21:41
What he encountered outside a gas gas
21:43
station appeared animal-like at first,
21:46
but then it stood upright.
21:50
Now, this account was related by a
21:52
friend of the original witness.
21:54
In 1992, the witness
21:57
worked the graveyard shift at a gas
21:59
station in Grayland, Washington.
22:03
He usually worked from 11:00 at night
22:06
until 7:00 in the morning.
22:08
Business was slow during those hours,
22:10
and he passed time watching television
22:12
or reading magazines between customers.
22:16
Now, the witness was of native heritage
22:18
and had grown up within a the Pacific
22:20
Northwest coastal community where
22:22
traditional beliefs, ancestral stories,
22:25
and the warnings about supernatural
22:27
beings remained important.
22:30
He was also an imposing man standing
22:32
approximately 6 ft 10 in tall.
22:35
And despite his appearance, his friends
22:37
described him as a gentle and and
22:39
good-natured.
22:41
One night, a customer entered the
22:42
station, paid for gasoline, cigarettes,
22:44
and a drink, and returned to his
22:46
vehicle.
22:47
And as the witness looked through the
22:49
window toward the customer's car, he
22:51
noticed what appeared to be an enormous
22:53
dog sitting near the edge of the woods.
22:57
Powerful lights beneath the gas station
22:59
canopy illuminated portions of the
23:01
property, but created deep shadows
23:03
beyond the pumps.
23:06
Now, the witness attempted to focus on
23:07
the animal, but then it was gone.
23:10
He dismissed the sighting. Even if the
23:12
animal had been a wolf, he would have
23:14
been safely inside the station.
23:18
Then several hours passed without
23:19
another customer.
23:21
The witness was preparing to refill
23:23
condiments when he heard a loud thud
23:26
from behind the building.
23:28
The sound appeared to come from the area
23:30
where the dumpsters were located.
23:33
Homeless individuals had previously
23:34
searched through the station's garbage,
23:36
and the witness initially seemed someone
23:38
was scavenging,
23:40
but he ignored it.
23:41
The noises continued to get louder.
23:44
Eventually, the witness decided to
23:46
confront whatever was behind the
23:47
building, or whoever was behind the
23:49
building.
23:50
He took a flashlight and a firearm from
23:53
the office, exited through the front
23:54
door, and walked around the side of the
23:56
station.
23:57
And when he reached the corner, he
23:59
directed the flashlight beam toward the
24:01
dumpsters.
24:03
The light struck an enormous animal
24:05
rummaging through the garbage.
24:07
It was the same creature he had seen
24:09
near the woods, but it was not an
24:10
ordinary dog. The creature stood upright
24:14
on its hind legs.
24:16
It reached approximately to the same
24:18
height as the witness, nearly 7 ft tall.
24:21
Its body was too narrow and gaunt to be
24:23
a bear. Its shape appeared canine, but
24:26
its proportions were disturbingly
24:28
human-like.
24:29
His eyes reflected the flashlight beam.
24:32
The sight was so shocking that the
24:34
witness dropped both the flashlight and
24:36
the gun. He ran back into the station,
24:38
locked the doors, and remained inside
24:40
for the rest of the night.
24:42
The creature did not visibly follow him
24:44
follow him.
24:45
The witness resigned from the job the
24:47
following day.
24:49
He later became convinced that the
24:51
creature had been a shapeshifting entity
24:53
associated with native traditions.
24:56
Now, whether that interpretation was
24:58
cultural or geographically accurate is
25:00
impossible to determine.
25:02
What remains important is that the
25:04
witness' description of a massive canine
25:06
creature that first appeared on four
25:08
legs and was later seen upright at
25:10
nearly 7 ft tall.
25:13
Was it an unidentified bear?
25:15
An unusually large wolf?
25:18
An upright canine similar to creature
25:20
reported throughout in North America?
25:23
Or was it something rooted in
25:25
traditional warnings
25:27
the witness had heard throughout his
25:29
life?
25:31
Now, the Grayland witness encountered a
25:33
creature that seemed to exist somewhere
25:35
between human and the animal worlds.
25:37
But our next report also involves an
25:40
entity that resisted every
25:41
classification.
25:43
This time, however, the witness observed
25:45
not one unexplained creature, but two.
25:48
What followed was a violent
25:50
confrontation between Sasquatch and a
25:53
translucent
25:55
reptilian-looking being in the woods
25:57
near Kirkland.
26:01
Now, a witness was
26:03
hiking in the woods near Kirkland,
26:04
Washington when he noticed something
26:06
unusual climbing a tree.
26:08
Now, first he believed it was a giant
26:10
white lizard.
26:12
And as he continued watching, he
26:14
realized that the creature was partially
26:15
translucent.
26:17
Its body appeared almost skeletal or
26:19
exoskeletal with the tail and and
26:22
several short stubby appendages.
26:25
The creature turned its head backward
26:27
and looked directly at the witness.
26:29
It made a snapping sound with its huge
26:31
mouth.
26:33
Its face possessed jagged bumps along
26:36
the upper and lower edges. The witness
26:38
could not determine whether these
26:39
projections were teeth or part of the
26:41
creature's facial structures.
26:44
Then he heard a whooping noise coming
26:46
from our surrounding forest.
26:48
Something large came crashing through
26:50
the brush.
26:52
The translucent creature stopped
26:53
climbing and turned its head toward the
26:55
sound.
26:57
The massive blackish-brown bipedal
26:59
creature emerged from the vegetation.
27:02
The witness identified it as a
27:04
Sasquatch.
27:05
He had previously observed a Sasquatch
27:07
in 2003, though this individual looked
27:10
different.
27:11
The Sasquatch moved around the tree and
27:13
grabbed the white creature.
27:15
The smaller being immediately fought
27:17
back. It whipped its tail against the
27:20
Sasquatch's arm and released and
27:22
released a loud shrieking sound.
27:26
Then it leaped onto the much larger
27:28
creature.
27:29
Now, although the Sasquatch appeared
27:31
approximately four times its size, the
27:32
white being attacked with extraordinary
27:34
aggression.
27:36
It crawled over the Sasquatch's body and
27:38
repeatedly leaned in as though biting
27:40
it.
27:41
Each time it made contact, smoke smoke
27:44
appeared to rise from the Sasquatch's
27:46
fur or skin.
27:48
>> [sighs and gasps]
27:49
>> The Sasquatch screamed in pain.
27:51
The witness believed the smaller
27:53
creature might have been producing
27:55
venom, acid, or some other caustic
27:57
substance.
27:59
He did not see liquid being projected,
28:01
but something appeared to burn the
28:02
Sasquatch whenever the white creature
28:04
bit or pressed against it.
28:07
After struggling for some time, the
28:09
Sasquatch seized the creature by the
28:11
head and pulled it away.
28:14
The white being flipped forward. Its
28:16
head then appeared to rotate completely
28:19
around.
28:20
It bit the Sasquatch's arm.
28:22
The Sasquatch threw the creature against
28:24
the tree and and stuck it with
28:26
tremendous force.
28:29
Instead of being crushed, the white
28:31
being flattened and spread across the
28:33
trunk like a fried egg.
28:36
The witness believed the creature had
28:37
deliberately changed or elongated its
28:39
shape to absorb the impact.
28:42
Then it sprang toward another tree. The
28:45
Sasquatch followed and attempted to
28:46
strike it with a large stick.
28:49
Now, eventually the white creature fell
28:50
from the tree and ran into the forest.
28:52
Sasquatch pursued it.
28:54
The witness never understood why the
28:56
Sasquatch appeared so determined to
28:58
capture or kill this translucent
28:59
creature.
29:01
Was the white being a prey?
29:04
Was it a predator invading the
29:06
Sasquatch's territory?
29:09
Could the substance it produced have
29:10
responded to the natural defense
29:12
mechanism?
29:13
Or had the creature observed a
29:15
confrontation between two beings that
29:17
remain undocumented by conventional
29:19
science?
29:22
This report is extraordinary
29:24
even by cryptid standards.
29:26
But it contains details found in other
29:28
unexplained encounters including
29:30
translucent skin,
29:32
strange body movement, unusual
29:34
vocalizations, chemical or burning
29:36
effects, and a Sasquatch apparently
29:38
defending a territory from another
29:40
unknown creature.
29:43
Now, this Kirkland report suggests the
29:45
possibility that Washington's forest may
29:47
contain more than one type of
29:49
unidentified being.
29:51
And it also raises a disturbing
29:53
question. If such creatures exist, would
29:56
government or military authorities
29:57
already know about them?
30:00
Now, our next witness believes he may
30:03
have participated
30:04
in an operation connected to that very
30:07
possibility.
30:08
The assignment began as a military
30:10
training exercise.
30:12
It ended with armed guards protecting
30:14
heavily concealed creatures near the
30:16
devastation of Mount St. Helens.
30:21
In 1980, a United States Air Force
30:24
serviceman was stationed at George Air
30:26
Force Base near Victorville, California.
30:30
He worked in aircraft maintenance to
30:32
in support of the Air Force's Wild
30:34
Weasel mission involved F-4 aircraft.
30:38
That year, he and other personnel were
30:40
sent to train with Canadian forces at
30:42
Canadian Force Base Comox on Vancouver
30:46
Island.
30:49
Now, the group departed George Air Force
30:51
Base aboard a C-141 transport aircraft.
30:55
And during the flight, the aircraft
30:57
experienced an emergency involving the
30:59
loss of hydraulic fluid in one of the
31:01
engines.
31:02
The servicemen watched a crew chief
31:05
repeatedly pour fluid into the reservoir
31:07
only to see that the level fall back to
31:09
zero.
31:12
The crewman wore a parachute. The
31:14
passengers did not.
31:16
And after landing at Travis Air Force
31:18
Base for repairs, the flight eventually
31:20
continued north.
31:22
The aircraft passed over Mount St.
31:24
Helens shortly after the volcano
31:26
erupted.
31:28
When the group arrived at Comox, their
31:30
officer informed them that the
31:31
deployment would last longer than the
31:33
planned 2 weeks.
31:36
They were needed for an emergency
31:37
mission.
31:39
For several days, the airmen were given
31:41
little information and had almost
31:43
nothing to do.
31:45
Then, one night, they were ordered onto
31:48
a bus.
31:49
The bus carried them
31:51
toward the southern end of Vancouver
31:53
Island,
31:54
where the vehicle was loaded onto an
31:56
unusual Navy ferry.
31:59
The bus was transported across the water
32:01
to the United States side. And after
32:03
embarking, they continued driving
32:05
through the darkness, rain, and heavy
32:07
cloud cover.
32:08
Eventually, they arrived at what
32:09
appeared to be a disaster area.
32:12
The airmen were issued M-16 rifles with
32:15
one magazine each.
32:18
This immediately struck the witnesses as
32:20
unusual.
32:21
Most enlisted Air Force personnel handle
32:23
rifles during basic training, but
32:25
they're rarely assigned armed perimeter
32:27
duty.
32:29
They were also issued green plain
32:31
fatigues and poorly fitted helmets
32:34
marked with the word guard.
32:36
The briefing provided few details.
32:40
The men were told to protect designated
32:42
access points inside a tented military
32:45
area.
32:47
They were to inspect credentials and
32:49
allow only authorized personnel to
32:51
enter.
32:52
They were also told that anyone
32:53
attempting to breach the perimeter was
32:55
to be shot.
32:57
Approximately 30 airmen were involved.
32:59
None of them clearly knew where they
33:02
were.
33:04
There were no obvious towns or cities
33:05
nearby. The location appeared isolated
33:08
and close to land affected by the
33:09
volcanic eruption.
33:12
The personnel lived and worked inside a
33:14
restricted area covering approximately 1
33:16
acre.
33:17
There were sleeping tents and mess
33:19
tents, several larger structured
33:22
secured structures.
33:24
The airmen worked 12-hour night shifts.
33:28
The guarded tent The guarded tents were
33:30
constructed with partitions and
33:32
entryways foyers that prevented anyone
33:34
standing outside from seeing into the
33:36
main interior areas.
33:40
>> [sighs]
33:40
>> Bright lighting was visible beyond the
33:43
partitions, but the arrangement seemed
33:45
deliberately designed to conceal
33:47
whatever had happened inside.
33:50
Now, the official explanation was that
33:52
they were guarding victims of the Mount
33:54
St. Helens eruption.
33:56
Medical personnel occasionally passed
33:59
through the checkpoints.
34:00
A person dressed like a doctor in a
34:02
white laboratory coat would escort a
34:05
heavily bundled individual by the arm.
34:09
Now, the escorted figures wore thick
34:11
coats and dark knit hats.
34:14
Their hands were also concealed.
34:16
The guards were never given a clear view
34:18
of their faces.
34:20
The escort would provide a surname, show
34:23
credentials, and proceed into or out of
34:26
the restricted area.
34:28
There were no disturbances. No one
34:30
attempted to breach the perimeter.
34:32
Nothing occurred that seemed to justify
34:34
the armed security or the order to use
34:36
lethal force.
34:38
Now, near the end of the assignment,
34:40
however, the witness noticed something
34:41
they could never forget.
34:44
>> [sighs]
34:44
>> Two of the bundled individuals were
34:46
extraordinarily tall. They stood more
34:49
than a full head above the medical
34:51
personnel escorting them.
34:53
They were also unusually broad across
34:55
the shoulders and torso.
34:58
At the time, the witnesses assumed the
35:00
bulk was due to the heavy coats and cold
35:02
weather.
35:04
After approximately eight or nine days,
35:05
the airmen were debriefed.
35:08
They were told that they had guarded
35:10
victims of the eruption and were ordered
35:12
not to discuss that portion of the
35:14
mission.
35:16
They were allowed to shower and were
35:17
given their original Air Force uniforms
35:19
back in a separate tent behind the
35:21
latrines.
35:24
The group boarded the same bus, traveled
35:26
the darkness to the ferry, crossed back
35:29
to Vancouver Island, and returned to
35:31
Comox.
35:32
Now, the remainder of the deployment
35:34
continued normally.
35:36
They trained with the Canadians, flew
35:38
additional sorties, and eventually
35:40
returned to George Air Force Base.
35:43
The witness did not seriously question
35:45
the incident until years later when
35:47
began reading reports about Sasquatch
35:49
activity associated with the Mount St.
35:51
Helens eruption.
35:54
He then began to wonder whether the
35:56
extraordinarily tall and broad
35:57
individuals had truly been victims of
36:00
the of human disaster. Perhaps they were
36:03
severely injured people whose identities
36:05
and conditions required privacy.
36:08
>> [gasps]
36:08
>> But if that was the case, why did the
36:10
Air Force maintenance specialist as use
36:12
Air Force special
36:14
maintenance specialists as armed guards?
36:17
Why conceal the patients' face
36:20
and hands?
36:22
Why transport the guards secretly by bus
36:24
and military ferry? Why issue orders to
36:28
shoot anyone attempting to cross the
36:30
perimeter?
36:32
Now, the witness stated this was the
36:34
only time during his entire Air Force
36:36
service, other than basic training, was
36:38
he was assigned armed perimeter duty.
36:40
He still does not know exactly
36:43
what he was protecting.
36:47
Now, the the Mount Saint Helens account
36:48
involves secrecy, military authority,
36:51
and concealed figures whose physical
36:53
proportions just seemed abnormal.
36:56
The witness was giving orders given
36:58
orders, but no answers. Our final report
37:01
contains no military installation
37:02
government perimeter or official
37:04
explanation.
37:06
It began at an isolated farmhouse with
37:09
strange lights over the Coeur d'Alene
37:11
mountains.
37:12
And for a young school teacher named
37:14
Mandy,
37:16
these lights marked the beginning of
37:18
terror.
37:19
Within weeks, she would disappear.
37:24
Now, this final case remains one of the
37:26
most disturbing and emotional
37:27
investigations I have ever been involved
37:29
with.
37:31
In July 2009,
37:34
I received a call from a young school
37:35
teacher named Mandy, who lived with her
37:37
mother in an isolated farmhouse on the
37:40
East Central in East Central Washington.
37:44
Mandy told me that her life had become a
37:46
living nightmare. She was terrified of
37:48
the dark.
37:49
She was afraid to leave the house at
37:51
night. She believed that something
37:52
beyond human understanding that target
37:55
had targeted her and her mother.
37:57
The activity had begun approximately 2
37:59
weeks earlier.
38:01
Mandy and her mother noticed unusual red
38:03
and white lights hovering over the Coeur
38:04
d'Alene mountains near their farmhouse.
38:07
That same night, Mandy experienced a
38:09
violent dream involving flashing lights
38:11
and mechanical sounds.
38:14
She awakened nauseous, disoriented, and
38:16
deeply frightened.
38:18
Her mother initially dismissed the
38:20
experiences as a nightmare, but then the
38:23
lights returned.
38:24
One evening, while Mandy and her mother
38:27
were cleaning up after dinner,
38:29
they heard sharp popping sounds outside
38:31
the farm the farmhouse.
38:34
When they looked through the windows,
38:36
they saw hundreds of red and white
38:37
lights moving rapidly across the sky and
38:40
over the property.
38:41
Whenever two of the lights appeared to
38:43
collide, a loud popping sound echoed
38:46
through the yard. And at the same time,
38:48
the telephone stopped working.
38:51
The house lights began flickering.
38:54
Scratching noises moved across the roof.
38:57
Then, without warning, everything
38:58
stopped.
39:00
When Mandy stepped outside, she detected
39:03
a faint odor resembling burnt motor oil.
39:07
There was no visible evidence explaining
39:09
what had happened.
39:11
But the following night was worse.
39:14
Heavy thuds struck the roof. Rapid
39:16
scampering sounds came from the attic. A
39:19
red and white lights again surrounded
39:21
the farmhouse. This time, the
39:23
electricity failed completely and
39:25
remained off for nearly an hour.
39:28
Mandy and her mother retreated to the a
39:29
bedroom where they sat together by
39:31
candlelight.
39:32
They felt like prisoners inside their
39:34
own home.
39:36
They could not use the telephone. They
39:38
could not see what was moving above
39:39
them.
39:41
They did not know whether something was
39:43
attempting to enter the house. And when
39:45
Man- Mandy contacted me, I could hear
39:47
the terror in her voice.
39:49
It was not exaggerated. It was not
39:51
rehearsed. It was raw and sincere.
39:54
She desperately wanted an explanation.
39:57
Now, during our conversation, he asked
39:59
me a question I will never forget.
40:02
Why is this happening to us?
40:04
Now, I instructed Mandy and her mother
40:06
to maintain detailed journals and to
40:09
contact me after every incident.
40:12
We spoke late into that night.
40:15
I believe they were genuinely frightened
40:17
and that's something seemed to be
40:18
deliberately targeting them.
40:21
That is the last real conversation I
40:23
ever had with Mandy.
40:24
Several days later, her mother called
40:26
me.
40:27
Her voice was broken with grief.
40:30
Mandy was missing.
40:33
The night after our conversation, Mandy
40:35
had gone to bed as usual.
40:38
And at approximately 11:00, her mother
40:40
noticed light shining from beneath
40:41
Mandy's bedroom door.
40:43
And when she opened the door, the light
40:45
suddenly went out.
40:47
Mandy was gone. Her car remained at the
40:49
farmhouse. Her clothing, belongings, and
40:51
personal items had not been disturbed.
40:55
There was no known visitor.
40:56
There was no obvious sign of forced
40:58
entry.
40:59
There was no explanation for how Mandy
41:01
could have left the bedroom and
41:02
farmhouse without her mother noticing.
41:05
Police investigators reportedly
41:07
considered the possibility she had left
41:09
voluntarily or had departed with someone
41:11
during the night.
41:13
But there was no evidence supporting
41:14
either explanation.
41:16
It was though she had vanished into thin
41:18
air.
41:20
As of my last inquiry with the
41:22
Washington authorities, Mandy's
41:23
disappearance remained unsolved.
41:26
And my last actual inquiry was about a
41:29
year ago.
41:30
No confirmed trace of her had ever been
41:32
found.
41:34
I remain convinced
41:35
that Mandy was taken, though not
41:37
necessarily by human hands.
41:40
Now, her disappearance occurred after
41:42
repeated aerial phenomena, telephone
41:44
electrical failures, unexplained sounds
41:47
on the roof and in the attic, physical
41:49
illness, and her growing conviction that
41:51
an unknown intelligence had singled them
41:53
out.
41:54
And as investigators, we attempted
41:56
document facts, identify patterns, and
41:59
separate evidence from speculation.
42:03
But some cases become deeply personal.
42:06
And when Mandy called me, she was not
42:08
simply reporting strange lights.
42:11
She was asking for reassurance.
42:14
She wanted someone to tell her that she
42:16
was not imagining these events.
42:20
But more than anything, she wanted to
42:21
believe that someone understood what was
42:23
happening, could protect her.
42:26
I couldn't give her that assurance.
42:29
I often wonder whether Mandy knew that
42:31
she was being targeted.
42:33
Did she suspect that her time was
42:35
running out? Her question still echoes
42:37
in my mind. Why is this happening to us?
42:40
[clears throat]
42:42
Now, Mandy is more than a missing person
42:43
and an unresolved file. She represents
42:46
the human cost of encounters that exist
42:48
beyond conventional explanations.
42:50
>> [sighs]
42:51
>> Whatever occurred inside that isolated
42:54
Washington farmhouse,
42:56
a frightened young woman disappeared.
42:59
The truth has never been uncovered.
43:02
Mandy's disappearance remains one of the
43:03
most disturbing and emotional cases that
43:06
I personally have ever investigated.
43:11
Now, the reports presented tonight come
43:13
from different regions of Washington and
43:15
involve very different forms of
43:16
unexplained activity.
43:18
A child near Beacon Rock saw an enormous
43:20
light and later awakened in the forest
43:22
after hours of missing time.
43:25
A married couple in Bremerton watched
43:28
two massive transparent parent creatures
43:30
slide silently above their heads.
43:34
Campers near Table Table Mountain hear
43:36
footsteps drumming in Naches before
43:39
encountering a long a long-limbed gray
43:42
humanoid.
43:43
A property guard saw a cloaked figure
43:45
suspended near an ancient cedar tree and
43:48
experienced an overwhelming wave of
43:50
dread.
43:52
The gas station employee at Grayland
43:54
confronted an enormous canine creature
43:57
standing upright on two legs.
43:59
A hiker near Kirkland reportedly
44:02
witnessed a violent confrontation
44:04
between a Sasquatch and a translucent
44:08
reptilian being.
44:10
An Air Force serviceman was secretly
44:12
transported into a restricted disaster
44:14
zone in order to guard a heavily
44:17
concealed figures whose size and
44:19
proportions appeared abnormal.
44:22
An amp and Mandy to separate from her
44:24
bedroom after weeks of lights
44:27
and electrical disturbances, scratching
44:29
on the roof,
44:30
and a growing conviction that something
44:33
had chosen her.
44:35
Now, are these reports connected? On the
44:37
surface, they appear to describe
44:39
completely different phenomena, but
44:41
several patterns are repeating.
44:44
Many of the encounters occurred near
44:45
forests, mountains, rivers, coastlines,
44:47
or isolated rural properties.
44:50
Several involved beings that appeared
44:52
translucent, cloaked, reflective, or
44:54
only partially present.
44:57
Animals reacted before the witnesses
44:59
understood that something was wrong.
45:01
Witnesses reported strange odors,
45:03
unusual sounds, missing time, physical
45:05
marks,
45:06
emotional manipulation, and sudden
45:08
feeling of dread.
45:11
In some cases, the entities appeared
45:12
territorial. In others, they seemed
45:14
curious, predatory, or focused on a
45:16
particular individual.
45:18
Washington's geography may provide ideal
45:21
conditions for unusual animals to remain
45:23
hidden.
45:25
Its military facilities and restricted
45:27
areas may conceal classified activity.
45:30
And ancient forests and native
45:32
traditions preserve accounts of beings
45:34
that have occupied the region far longer
45:36
than modern communities.
45:39
But those explanations may account for
45:41
only parts of the mystery.
45:43
Perhaps one of these entities were not
45:45
permanently present in the way humans
45:47
understand physical existence.
45:50
They may have
45:52
They may move between environments,
45:54
dimensions, or states of visibility.
45:57
They may appear only when conditions
45:59
permit us to perceive them.
46:02
Or perhaps they have always been here
46:05
observing from places where we rarely
46:08
look.
46:10
The witnesses in these cases did not
46:11
begin their experiences expecting to
46:13
encounter the impossible.
46:15
Most were engaged in ordinary
46:17
activities. They were camping, hiking,
46:19
working, guarding property, completing a
46:21
military assignment, or sitting inside
46:23
their own home.
46:26
Then the boundary between the known and
46:27
the unknown suddenly opened.
46:29
For a few moments, they saw something
46:31
that changed their understanding of
46:33
reality. For Mandy,
46:36
that boundary may never have closed.
46:38
Her case is a reminder that behind every
46:41
unexplained report is a human being.
46:45
There's fear. There's confusion.
46:47
There's often ridicule and isolation,
46:49
and sometimes there's loss.
46:53
Whether we interpret this these accounts
46:56
as cryptid encounters, UFO activity,
46:58
spiritual manifestations, undiscovered
47:00
biological organisms, dimensional
47:03
intrusions, or something we have not yet
47:05
learned to define,
47:07
the witnesses deserve to be heard. Their
47:09
experiences deserve to be documented.
47:12
The question they raise should not be
47:14
ignored simply because the answers make
47:16
us uncomfortable.
47:18
Washington remains one of the most
47:20
geographically beautiful and mysterious
47:22
regions in North America.
47:24
Beyond its cities and highways lie
47:25
immense forests,
47:27
um volcanic landscapes, isolated
47:30
coastlines, and remote mountain
47:32
corridors.
47:33
Within these places, something
47:35
unexplained continues to move.
47:38
Perhaps it watches from the trees.
47:40
Perhaps it slides silently above us.
47:42
Perhaps it hides behind military
47:44
barriers.
47:46
Or perhaps it just waits outside till
47:47
late.
47:49

48:51
So, let's start the Q&A. Please
48:53
[clears throat] type your question in
48:55
all caps.
49:02
Michelle 54689,
49:05
do you think the cloaking and the figure
49:06
initially had a hypnotic effect on the
49:09
on the guard to make him more docile
49:11
like they poss- possibly use for hunting
49:13
to keep prey from running?
49:15
That's a good question. I don't know.
49:17
Um it could very possibly be that.
49:20
Um
49:22
you know, when you get encounters like
49:23
this or even just general
49:26
observations, I it could be a lot of
49:28
different things.
49:30
But what you stated could be very true.
49:33
You know, unless we get
49:36
some type of documentation or
49:37
affirmation of what happened,
49:39
it's pretty hard to even
49:42
make out exactly what had occurred. So,
49:45
you know,
49:47
we do the best to investigate, but
49:48
sometimes we just don't get to the
49:50
answer that we want.
49:54
Paranormalism net line, what were you
49:56
doing on the road?
49:58
I wasn't
49:59
I wasn't
50:01
um investigating anything. I was just
50:03
taking a couple days off.
50:05
I needed some time off.
50:11
Dagnabbit, uh the Bat Squatch has been
50:13
spotted near Mount St. Helens and
50:15
sightings uh started after the 1980
50:18
eruption. Do you think Bat Squatch could
50:20
be Mothman?
50:21
>> [gasps]
50:22
>> You know,
50:24
during our investigation in Chicagoland,
50:27
we had
50:29
a couple of sightings, particularly in
50:32
uh Woodstock, Illinois,
50:35
of
50:36
a creature that looked like a Bigfoot.
50:39
We even had sketches. Looked like a
50:41
Bigfoot with large wings. Now,
50:44
is that the same as the Bat Squatch that
50:46
originally started in La Crosse,
50:48
Wisconsin, that was reported by uh Linda
50:51
Godfrey? I don't know.
50:54
Could it be related to the Mothman?
50:56
Yeah, it could be. It could be another
50:57
type of um winged humanoid or winged
51:00
cryptid.
51:01
Um
51:03
we just don't know. Though, I I did take
51:05
the reports of these these possible Bat
51:08
Squatches and put it alongside the
51:11
winged humanoid reports in Chicago.
51:14
I I am aware of the the so-called Bat
51:16
Squatch sightings in Washington, could
51:18
but I don't really know exactly what it
51:20
was. If you If you want to use it the
51:22
characteristics of the
51:25
the
51:26
you know, the well-known Mothman, it
51:28
probably wasn't, but you know, who's to
51:30
say there's other there's not other
51:32
winged beings or winged humanoids out
51:35
there that kind of fit that bill.
51:38
The best I can say is that, you know, we
51:40
just continue to look into it and maybe
51:42
we'll be able to connect it.
51:47
Michelle, uh do you think some
51:49
reptilians possibly do other acidic
51:51
saliva or could the bite just be toxic
51:55
to Bigfoot and because they are from
51:57
different vibrations that cause that
51:58
reaction?
52:01
Um
52:03
Well, of course it's probably a a um
52:06
defense mechanism, a natural defensive
52:09
mechanism is if it's a creature that's
52:11
not indigenous to the area.
52:14
Well, maybe it was from another realm or
52:16
another level to where it was it was
52:19
used naturally to defend against other
52:21
types of predators on their
52:25
on their realm or on their plane. I
52:27
don't know.
52:28
>> [sighs and gasps]
52:29
>> Apparently, uh the Sasquatch was
52:31
affected by
52:33
but it didn't seem to
52:35
uh
52:35
permanently disable it.
52:38
So, yeah, that's a tough one to answer.
52:40
I mean, it's a very unusual
52:43
uh report and I received something very
52:45
similar to that in Florida as well, but
52:47
it was just a little bit different.
52:50
So, I don't know if these are
52:52
ultraterrestrial beings or um
52:55
I doubt they're other than the
52:56
Sasquatch. Uh I I doubt that they were
52:59
um
53:00
indigenous.
53:02
And they were probably from another uh
53:04
another plane.
53:09
Jose Sanchez, in the animal kingdom size
53:11
is considered dominance and strength.
53:13
Might there also be a connection with
53:15
that and a dogman species as their
53:17
natural traits? It could be.
53:20
It could be.
53:21
Uh you know, we we hear all sizes,
53:24
colors, types of you know, cryptid
53:27
canines.
53:28
Some are huge. I mean, we have had
53:30
reports here in Pennsylvania of
53:32
what we call lycans
53:35
that appeared just like in the you know,
53:37
if you're familiar with the Underworld
53:38
series uh of films where the Lycans
53:43
are huge 10-ft creatures that resemble
53:46
werewolves.
53:47
Um
53:49
if that's something that's
53:51
factual
53:52
Yeah, we've had reports of that. But,
53:54
you know, it just represents another
53:56
facet of this whole cryptid canine
53:59
phenomena.
54:01
So, um
54:03
you know, anything like that you kind of
54:04
take with a grain of salt until you get
54:06
more and more evidence, put it together,
54:07
and maybe we'll find something. But,
54:09
honestly, I you know
54:11
first of all, it's not something I want
54:13
to come across.
54:14
And uh and many times when we have had
54:17
witnesses report these beings, uh it
54:20
shakes them up pretty bad. So, they're
54:23
it seems like they're really
54:25
encountering something. Now, is it
54:28
is it an illusion? Is it a manifestation
54:30
of some kind? Is it some type of time
54:32
slip that manifests somehow? I don't
54:34
know.
54:36
We just don't really know.
54:37
>> [clears throat]
54:41
>> Race fan
54:43
I heard that there were multiple dead
54:45
Bigfoot that were airlifted out of Mount
54:47
St. Helens and a live one came to a
54:49
military headquarters and was treated by
54:51
a vet.
54:52
Yeah, I um
54:54
that's a pretty well-known story. That
54:55
was uh
54:57
>> [clears throat]
54:58
>> that was similar to this event.
55:00
Um
55:03
and I'm pretty sure these were different
55:04
events. I mean,
55:06
though I I don't really know that.
55:09
Um
55:10
I have heard other accounts that kind of
55:13
coincide with this one I talked about.
55:16
Um
55:17
where these beings
55:20
were were injured, but they were docile
55:22
enough that they could just they would
55:24
didn't have to secure them or anything
55:26
and took them in for
55:28
treatment.
55:29
Uh what happened to them afterwards, I
55:31
have no idea.
55:33
Uh the whole Mount St. Helens mystery is
55:36
is it just that, a mystery. And you
55:38
know, we have had a lot of different
55:40
reports, a lot of different things that
55:42
we just don't really have any
55:44
explanation for.
55:46
But there are some people within the
55:47
field that believe that something like
55:49
that actually did happen. So, um
55:52
of course the military isn't saying a
55:53
word. So, you know, it's just like any
55:56
other type of disclosure until we start
55:57
getting evidence and start getting some
56:00
explanation.
56:02
We just take it for what it's worth and
56:05
try to make determinations with the
56:06
evidence that we've received.
56:12
Lotta Bright, "Lon, what detail in the
56:15
Mothman reports is most often overlooked
56:17
but may actually be key to understanding
56:19
the phenomenon?"
56:21
Well, the fact that they show up the way
56:23
they do
56:24
um
56:26
suddenly show up, suddenly manifest.
56:28
Many times people see them come like
56:30
come through like they're coming through
56:32
an invisible doorway and vice versa that
56:34
they
56:35
they vanish within an
56:37
invisible doorway. And we've had this
56:39
before. I mean, not just in the
56:40
Chicagoland area.
56:42
We've had other sightings very similar
56:44
to that. And then there's been
56:45
variations, but
56:47
it [clears throat] the confounding part
56:49
is many times we don't see them feeding
56:51
or
56:53
doing things that they would do to
56:56
remain on this plane
56:58
as viable creatures that are indigenous
57:02
to the area.
57:03
Many times they see them in a brief
57:05
moment.
57:06
Uh
57:08
and there's nothing to indicate that
57:10
they are they are part of our earth
57:13
plane.
57:14
Um
57:16
I I never really got that indication
57:18
with the 180 odd reports that we thought
57:21
were authentic in the Chicagoland area
57:24
that
57:26
seemed to indicate that these beings
57:28
were living among us.
57:30
They were appearing among us,
57:32
but I doubt they were living among us.
57:40
Lola Bright Lawn, what is the most
57:42
frightening detail that consistently
57:44
appears in Bigfoot reports but rarely
57:46
gets discussed publicly?
57:48
>> [sighs and gasps]
57:49
>> Um
57:53
I would say um the fact
57:57
that many times when
58:00
a Bigfoot is in an area
58:02
and they notice a human being looking at
58:05
it and they react like
58:07
that they shouldn't be being seen. In
58:09
other words, they react like
58:11
this human is looking at me
58:14
and it shouldn't be seeing me.
58:17
Um
58:18
Now, there had been theories about these
58:20
beings being cloaked. You know, this
58:22
whole Glimmer Man
58:24
uh phenomena. Some people do believe
58:27
that these Bigfoot or other cryptic
58:28
creatures or even humanoids, some type
58:31
of ultra-terrestrial.
58:32
>> [sighs and gasps]
58:33
>> Um you know, again, I go back to Chicago
58:36
with the winged humanoids. Many times
58:37
these things they they acted like they
58:39
wanted to be seen.
58:42
But they seemed to only allow certain
58:44
people to actually
58:46
look at it or to recognize it.
58:49
We've had reports among hundreds of
58:51
people
58:52
where only one or two people
58:55
possibly saw it or even reacted to it.
58:59
As far as Bigfoot and Sasquatch, the
59:01
same thing happens but it's a it's
59:03
somewhat different. I mean, they seem to
59:05
think that
59:07
they can't be seen because they're using
59:09
some type of um
59:11
either mechanism or some type of ability
59:14
to cloak themselves.
59:16
But when they they see the person
59:17
looking at them and staring at them,
59:19
they realize that they are being seen.
59:23
And when that happens, they quickly
59:24
disappear. I mean, they get through
59:26
somewhere where they can't be followed
59:29
or or seen anymore.
59:31
Do they travel through portal? Are they
59:34
able to just be able to
59:36
distinguish portal and go through it?
59:39
That we don't know, but
59:42
I have talked to investigators,
59:43
well-known investigators that literally
59:45
followed these beings
59:47
very closely, the best they could, and
59:50
the thing would just disappear where
59:52
there was nothing there, rocks or any
59:53
type of hiding place for it to go.
59:56
So, yeah, I think that's a bit scary.
59:59
Um
1:00:01
So, you know, we don't have many
1:00:02
attacks. We you know, even most cryptids
1:00:05
don't attack humans.
1:00:08
Uh I think they try to avoid humans as
1:00:10
much as they possibly can.
1:00:16
Lola bright, Lon, have you ever
1:00:17
investigated a dog man case where the
1:00:19
creature's actions appear deliberately
1:00:20
psychological rather than predatory?
1:00:24
>> [sighs and gasps]
1:00:25
[clears throat]
1:00:25
>> And there have been cases where um
1:00:28
let's say a hunter would walk up to one
1:00:30
of these beings not recognizing it then
1:00:33
all of a sudden just
1:00:35
be able to see it standing there,
1:00:37
holding its ground,
1:00:39
and then communicating somehow with it
1:00:41
with some type of abilities
1:00:43
that to let the human know to just back
1:00:46
the hell up, lower the weapon, and get
1:00:49
out of here.
1:00:50
And we have had that happen particularly
1:00:52
in Pennsylvania.
1:00:54
Uh up in the uh
1:00:56
the
1:00:58
uh sent north central part of the state.
1:01:00
It happens in other parts as well, but
1:01:02
um
1:01:03
yeah, it it's it's very much like what a
1:01:04
Sasquatch apparently does uh with the
1:01:08
mind speak type of thing.
1:01:10
So, uh yeah, I I don't think I don't
1:01:12
think any of these beings are predatory.
1:01:15
I I think they come through somewhere
1:01:17
from some somehow or somewhere where
1:01:20
they just pop in.
1:01:22
I mean, we had people walking on trails
1:01:24
and look
1:01:25
one in particular in Pennsylvania where
1:01:27
one guy was walking his two dogs.
1:01:30
He was out in the middle of a game land
1:01:32
and this thing
1:01:33
this cryptid canine upright cryptid
1:01:35
canine just suddenly manifested and
1:01:38
walked swiftly to the woods like
1:01:41
it was nothing, you know, it was nothing
1:01:43
going on and he had no
1:01:45
no realization of anything around it.
1:01:48
And the dogs were barking like crazy and
1:01:50
he up but it never acknowledged that.
1:01:52
So, I mean, could this be a glimpse into
1:01:54
another dimension? It's possible.
1:01:57
But these type of um
1:02:00
these type of encounters do happen.
1:02:07
Michelle,
1:02:08
I'm so sorry about the girl you were
1:02:10
trying to help disappearing. Has there
1:02:12
been any updates or any new leads as to
1:02:14
what or who took her?
1:02:17
No, there haven't and I've been
1:02:18
checking. I mean, this happened when
1:02:19
2090 2009, so that's what
1:02:24
17 years ago?
1:02:27
It doesn't seem that long, but it's been
1:02:29
that long and I I have
1:02:32
I have checked. Now,
1:02:34
>> [sighs]
1:02:35
>> the mother had died 3 years after the
1:02:37
event. She probably died with a broken
1:02:39
heart more than anything else. I had no
1:02:41
indication that she was sick.
1:02:44
Uh but she continued to look for her
1:02:46
daughter and um
1:02:48
after after the the mother died, the uh
1:02:52
property went into escrow and eventually
1:02:55
uh Mandy was declared deceased and the
1:02:58
property would the property and any
1:03:00
funds were distributed among family.
1:03:03
>> [sighs]
1:03:04
>> Um but still Washington state has no
1:03:09
no record of credit cards or sightings
1:03:13
or anything associated with Mandy
1:03:14
whatsoever.
1:03:16
They're somewhat tight-lipped about it
1:03:18
as especially as time has gone on.
1:03:21
Uh it's the file is still there.
1:03:23
I've been told not to disclose the file
1:03:25
number.
1:03:27
Um
1:03:28
for some reason they don't want to
1:03:29
getting out. I don't know. You know, I
1:03:34
And I don't know if I'd even do it. I
1:03:35
mean, out of respect for her
1:03:38
and her mother,
1:03:40
I I don't think I'd ever disclose any of
1:03:42
that.
1:03:52
Okay, folks. Well, I'm going to thank
1:03:53
you for showing up tonight. Um
1:03:55
so, until the next time, just remain
1:03:57
observant, trust your instincts,
1:04:00
and remember that the world around us
1:04:02
may be far stranger than
1:04:04
we've been led to believe.
1:04:06
So, until the next time we meet, stay
1:04:09
aware, trust your instincts, and
1:04:10
remember sometimes the strangest places
1:04:13
are just not that far away. So, have a
1:04:15
nice evening. Have a great weekend. See
1:04:17
you next Friday. Good night.
