Cryptid Chronicles: Escaped Monkeys, Shadowy Legends, and Eerie Encounters
Ever wonder what happens when the line between reality and lore blurs? Imagine waking up to a world where 43 monkeys escape a research lab in South Carolina, leaving a community in suspense and speculation about government cover-ups. The episode begins with this curious case that feels right out of a sci-fi thriller, urging everyone to secure their homes as thermal imaging cameras sweep the area. As strange as it sounds, this event is only the tip of the iceberg. I recount a bizarre encounter during a camping trip at Holton Lake in Michigan, drawing eerie parallels between fact and cryptid folklore.
From Alaska's menacing Nantanak to the unconventional Fresno Nightcrawler, the episode walks you through the shadowy realm of cryptids. These creatures, ranging from the Dubharchu in Ireland to Indonesia's Orange Gadding, challenge our perception of reality and ignite the imagination. Each story adds a unique layer to the ever-growing tapestry of global mysteries. You're invited to step into the unknown, where trees are mysteriously overturned, and the boundary between myth and fact is as thin as a whisper in the wind.
The episode concludes with a haunting exploration of Dog Lady Island in Michigan. Once a serene retreat, it is now steeped in chilling legends like that of Mrs. Kossler, who allegedly transformed into a canine-like figure. Legends intertwine with gang tales, and supernatural sightings beckon us to question the stories that haunt our surroundings. The narrative even brushes against Navajo skinwalker myths, adding depth to the spectrum of the bizarre. As you listen, your stories and thoughts are welcomed, creating a community bound by curiosity and the desire to unravel the inexplicable.
You can probably tell it's been a day, but I have to share this with you guys because it's literally like a science fiction movie in real life. In South Carolina, residents are being strongly advised to keep their doors and windows locked. It sounds like a script from a Stephen King movie Novel. There are 43 primates slash monkeys loose after they got out from a research lab in a small town in South Carolina. Every single monkey escaped en masse together from one primate research center in Yemesee, south Carolina. A new employee left the door to their enclosure open, whoops. So now they're using thermal imaging cameras to try and see if they can locate any of these primates. The lab insists that they have never been used for testing, that they're too young to carry diseases. However, they are stressing that the residents of this town keep their doors and windows locked so as to prevent them from entering their homes. So the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office has all hands on deck trying to locate the escaped monkeys. As far as I'm concerned, they should just keep their freedom.
Speaker 2:Hello everyone, welcome back to Strange, strange Beyond Insane, and I am your host, melissa, and this episode we are going to talk about cryptids. I felt like this fit the whole cryptid episode, because I will say this, with how fucked up this year has already been Again unhinged people, and of course, we're in another fucking game of Jumanji these monkeys. Okay, first of all, there's a lot I have to say about this, but I'm just gonna make it short. This was definitely not an accident. Um, this will, like this will either be swept underneath the rug and they'll be like oh yeah, we got all the monkeys with our thermal cams, nothing's wrong. Blah, blah, blah and go about your day, or catastrophic things will happen from this. First of all, the government's not going to fucking come out and say that they did tests you know, these test lab monkeys were ever tested on or shot up with stuff. You know, jabs of whatever you know because they're not going to want people to be all you know crazy and they're not going to want to promote hysteria, right, I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see this.
Speaker 2:This is from like four, maybe five days ago, so it's still really, really soon, but I was chatting with a friend earlier. She was going to try to give me a call to hop on the podcast today but she's extremely busy. You know she has three kids and they're all in school now. So I totally understand. But just know she will be on here soon and I do have her blessings of talking about this and even saying with her. She did see it.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to think what year this was. I want to say it was like 2011 or 2010. This was way before I even met my husband. I mean, we were like young and dumb and we used to go up to Holton Lake and party up there. Of course, up north Anyone from Michigan knows about Holton Lake. So I'm going to start with you know, because again, this podcast kind of how we started out was about, you know, folklore in Michigan and around the world.
Speaker 2:So in folklore, the Michigan Dogman was a creature allegedly witnessed in 1887 in Wexford County, michigan, united States. It was described as a 7-foot-tall, blue-eyed or amber-eyed bipedal I think I said that right canine-like animal with the torso of a man and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. According to the legend, the Dog man appears every decade and years, ending in seven the legend of the michigan dog man gained popularity in 1987 when steve cook, a radio dj in traverse city, recorded a song about the dog man as an april fool's day joke. However, the song was so popular that people began began calling in with reports of their own encounters. Um, excuse me, uh, let's see. I'm trying to remember how to pronounce this name, but I I believe it's.
Speaker 2:Agate Beach Park is located 25 miles Southwest of Houghton, on Lake Superior. Okay, so we do have um, we already have an episode about this, but just to tell you guys, so there was let's see me Sam, amanda, jill, little Heather, big Heather, blythe, ken, chris. There was at least 10 to 12 people. So again, this was like 2010, 2011. It was sometime in the summer. I could go onto Facebook and actually look up the exact time, but it doesn't matter, because even being so fucked up obviously I mean especially me drunk on Jaeger. Jaeger was like my best friend back then. I do not drink Jaeger anymore, thank God.
Speaker 2:However, we stayed at um, my friend Sam's little sister's friend's cabin. We normally rented um cabins. God, where did they go? I think Oakwood, up there. They're like. They're a bunch of like red cabins. They're very popular. A lot of people stay there. But anyways, this was down the street from where we usually stay. Excuse me, michigan weather, you know it's fall. We're all a little allergy-like and stuffy right now, so I apologize.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, we are out on the back patio, we're all partying and the boys had their catfish pulls in the lake. They always liked catfishing at night and so we're just hanging out there and we start hearing something flopping and we're like, oh okay, because a lot of times late at night the ducks will flop around the lake water and all of a sudden we hear this like screaming from this duck. And we're like like screaming from this duck and we're like, oh my god. Well, at first I think the boys thought that it got like tangled in their fishing line out there, um, and then we kind of heard like splashing and we're like, okay, excuse me. And um, I don't even know how to explain this.
Speaker 2:The next thing we know we hear something walking in the water and we're just staring at this lake water, right, it's pitch black and we hear this like really grisly sound, like if you were to take a man and a very deep voice, dog, like a growl, and put those voices together so we see the face come out of the water, like this face literally came out of the fucking water, stared at us like reddish eyes and I'm like, oh, that is a German shepherd. I'm like, wow, that's a, that's a really big German shepherd in the middle of the lake, you know whatever. And I'm like, okay, a really big German Shepherd in the middle of the lake, you know whatever. And I'm like, okay, maybe it just wanders around and it's a hunter, right, I mean, it's a food chain thing. We get it.
Speaker 2:And then it started chomping down very loudly and this duck is just screaming for its life and the neck, at this point, is broke because we have flashlights. And we're like, because this, this was going on for probably a good five minutes and we're looking in the light at this thing and the neck of the duck is broke, it's dangling, and this thing keeps getting closer and closer. This dog like whatever all black, like I said, reddish, the eyes were glowing and all of a sudden this fucking dog thing stands up and it's probably like nine feet tall and it looks like a literal, like a dog man. And here my drunk ass is like did somebody put a costume on? Like is this like a sick prank. And then it just devoured like swallowed the duck and it was like making these really grisly noises.
Speaker 2:This dog, it was like, and it starts walking on its legs, like its hind legs, and next thing I know, kenny runs off. We didn't find him until the next day, next to a cabin, passed out. All the girls start crying. I'm pretty sure my jaw was still on the ground and we were all like fuck this, like what the hell? Like what did we just see?
Speaker 2:So now everybody is like sobered up and I remember I I like barely remember, but I do remember like all of us started getting like really hostile and like we're all yelling at each other and fighting. And I remember getting into my blazer then and being like I'm fucking driving home which thank god I did not, because I still would have been very, very drunk and underage, by the way and I remember Sam coming by the car and being like please don't leave, this is my birthday weekend. And then, all of a sudden, I was fine and I'm like coming by the car and being like please don't leave, this is my birthday weekend. And then, all of a sudden, I was fine and I'm like, oh yeah, like what am I doing? And she's like dude, that was fucking crazy. I'm like we just all need to go to bed. So we all go to bed and we wake up the next day and, like we don't even talk about it. We're like, you know, we're probably in our heads thinking like what the fuck? Like did we really see this or were we that drunk and messed up? But everybody had the same story and we like have talked about it through the years. Um, I never knew about Dogman until probably about five, six years ago and I was like, oh, my god, that's what we've seen, like that's exactly what we've seen. So, um, we definitely seen Dogman and he is a very or it is a very vicious thing. Like I said, this duck was big and I will never, never, ever forget because it's like burned into my brain, this duck neck just dangling, like you could just tell it was broke and like it was dismembered. And duck neck just dangling, like you can just tell it was broke and like it was dismembered, and you know, oh, it was just so gross. But anyways, moving forward. So there are five more cryptids that have been recently discovered, seen A lot of people draw pictures of what they think that they've seen.
Speaker 2:Some people have caught pictures of it and you guys again, I apologize for the pronunciation, you know, I don't know how to say this shit. It's so hard to pronounce on here and there's no like indicator of like. You know how to kind of like sound it out, so I just do the best I can. All right, so this is a Nantanak. Alright, so this is the Nantanak. So basically, it's like a Bigfoot or Sasquatch turned into a man killer.
Speaker 2:This cryptid is actually blamed for the abandonment of the Alaskan Fishing Village port lock. The killings became so plentiful that people fled for their lives. So the Nanatok sightings began in the 1700s, when Europeans conducted expeditions and native Alaskans began encountering the mysterious creature. This creature is believed to rip out trees from their roots and plant them back into the ground upside down. I am literally looking at a picture. This creature is believed to rip out trees from their roots and plant them back into the ground upside down. I am literally looking at a picture. This is insane Like these two hugest trees were ripped out by the rut and they were planted upside down and you can see the ruts on the top and these trees were like replanted perfectly Like it. If, if I don't know who could do that like, how could you even physically do that with manpower? That's insane, these creatures they kill huge moose and they carry the moose on their back several yards. Discovery plus filmed a reality tv series in port lock, alaska, so this is known as the Alaskan Killer Bigfoot, and they follow a team exploring the abandoned village. It aired at the end of 2021 and recorded the most recent sighting of this creature.
Speaker 2:Okay, and there is a drawing of this. It just it looks like a big, fuzzy creature coming out of the mountains. Very scary. This is the Dubharchu. This is a giant, carnivorous lake monster that lives in Ireland I was trying to read too far ahead because I get so excited to read this stuff. So it closely resembles a large otter, so a lot of people think that that's not intimidating. Only, its alternate name is Irish crocodile. This creature attacks in pairs and they are known to get aggressive with humans and dogs. And because it's so huge, um, this nightmare, nightmare-like otter can chase its prey on the land and in the water. Great, so you're not safe either way. Great, so you're not safe either way.
Speaker 2:There have not been a lot of sightings of this creature, like in the previous decades. So the most recent report came from 2003 by an Irish artist, so him were in Ami I think it's Ami, ireland, canamara. The couple saw a giant creature with dark coloring and membranes on their feet to swim. This name sounds goofy, but these artist's renderings make them more believable. I would not want to run into one of these things. Hell, no, me either. Okay, the next creature is called a I don't think this is how you say it, but I'm gonna say it like this because it looks like it.
Speaker 2:Orange gadding, orange gadding. All right, so we have another Bigfoot-like creature, but this comes from Indonesia. Orange means person and Gatting means giant. So since these are giant people they stand between 7.5 to 12 feet tall and they are covered with bushy dark hair They've been spotted for centuries in Sumatra and Malaya. They can also be named orange tingi tingi, meaning tall, so tall person, and sometimes hantu tanigi or tall ghost.
Speaker 2:The most recent sighting that they have gotten of this was in 2013. Most recent sighting that they have gotten of this was in 2013. Seven people were injured and sent to the hospital. One was in critical condition. The group had been attacked by ten monkeys. The monkeys in question stood upright like gorillas and stood between four to five feet.
Speaker 2:Monkeys do exist in Indonesia, but none of them grow to be that height. The group described the creature as having stubbed noses and glaring eyes. See, and that is why we talked about the monkeys escaping because here you fucking go, I swear. It's like when you write about something or you make a movie, or you even say what, if to me, you're putting that energy out into the universe and it's like it will happen, or it has already happened in another time, that is, oh my god, that's so scary. Um, okay, moving forward. Okay, this is petrified.
Speaker 2:I have seen a video on these. Um, in fact, I think it was Discovery Plus. It was a documentary. I forget what it was called, but this is called the Fresno Nightcrawler. Fresno Nightcrawler is maybe the oddest creature on this list. They only grow to be about five feet, with most of their height made up of their legs. In fact, they look like a walking pair of pants. The Fresco Nightcrawler is also the youngest creature on this list.
Speaker 2:The first sighting occurred in 2007, with the most recent on April 25th of 2020. Oh look, what are the odds 2020. The earlier sightings happened around Fresno, california, hence the name. But the most recent happened in two distant locations. The first occurred in Poland. Of all places, this is what I watched. I remember this now. A man caught the creature on a handheld camera. But the most recent sighting happened in the Billings, montana. A home surveillance system spotted the creature at 9 45 pm in April 2020.
Speaker 2:This one is silly and sounds like it came from an old Dr Seuss story where the main character repeatedly meets an empty pair of pale green pants. I said I do not fear those pants with nobody inside them. I said and said and said those words. I said them, but I lied them. I kind of want this one to be true, because it's too silly. Shout out to Dr Seuss Um, yeah, so I don't know. You guys will have to look this up and watch this. Um, it was part of a documentary, but it's just so crazy. Watching it on video, I was just like is this fucking real? Like how does this happen? But I think it's honestly these mad scientists in these labs fucking fucking with Shay, you know all right, this one is terrifying.
Speaker 2:This is a spider-like creature. So this is called the Jabba Fofi. I think that's how you say it. I had to include this large spider my wife hates spiders, of course the Jabba Fofi pronounced oh, I didn't even say it right pronounced Chuba Fofi. Chuba Fofi, that's the only one that actually tells you how to pronounce it.
Speaker 2:So this has been spotted in Congo. It weaves a trap door-like web to catch its prey. There are plenty of spiders in Africa that hunt this way, so this doesn't raise eyebrows. What does is that the trap door the spider weaves must be gigantic. The Chuba Fofi can grow as long as four feet. The sightings began in 1850 and remained plentiful until recent years. Many of the natives blame the lack of sightings because they're saying that they're becoming a vanishing species. Oh boy, they can just fucking stay extinct. I hope I don't have to see them again.
Speaker 2:Okay, so this person's saying that some people have posted pictures of a massive web system I don't know if this is photoshopped AI or another creature building this web system. Again, this is supposed toped AI or another creature building this web system. Again, this is supposed to be a trapdoor spider. So webs like these, while impressive and large, must be the work of some other animal. Now you guys know that in Australia they have huge ass spiders and those people literally um, like their cars, okay, like, imagine if you were to take shrink wrap and like, wrap the shit out of someone's car, like where they couldn't get into it. That's what these spiders in Australia do like. I would fucking lose my mind, I would have a heart attack, stroke and die. There's no way I could live like that. I mean, I know those people are used to it, but no, thank you okay.
Speaker 2:So I do want to talk about Dawn Martin, who has been on here several times. She is also the founder of the Ghost Whisperers. She's on my TikTok, you guys can look her up too. She does a lot of paranormal stuff, a lot for the community, normal stuff, a lot for the community. She gave Christina and I um the idea to go out to Dog Lady Island. Now this is a private facility, now it's. It's considered um, it's considered a camping site, like no offense, but there's nothing really there. It's kind of like a wasteland with a shit pond, not to be rude, but that's what I think. But anyways, the talks about this and the dog lady, it's so inspiring and it's just such a cluster of crazy stories. So I'm going to start off with simple, you know, like simple facts. And then we'll go from there when the Legend of the Michigan Dog man is about a half man, half dog wolf. The dog lady is a completely different creature. In fact, she was a human who actually turned into a creature based on her environment Now, this is from 99.1. Into a creature based on her environment Now, this is from 99.1.
Speaker 2:In a little inlet off Lake Erie, in the southern Michigan town of Monroe, there is an island, officially known as Costler's Island, but through this legend it is more popular known as Dog Lady Island, originally called Fox Island. Many, many years ago, the first island owners built a large house that was intended to be a woman's religious retreat. In the late 1800s, the island was bought by a family named Costler, who renamed the island Costler Island. Over the years, the island was turned into a pig farm, garbage dump and communal living area. None of these ventures were successful. The house burned down in 1961. Mr Kossler passed away. And Mrs Kossler was left alone on the island to live in one of the deserted communal buildings. Well, not completely alone. There was also a pack of wild dogs living on the island Alone. For years.
Speaker 2:The old lady became less human and more canine, according to the legend, tripping through historic Monroe, she ran about on all fours, viciously tearing at the flesh of dead animals and tugging carcasses with her pack of mutts. In the 1960s, teenagers would go to the island for an evening of partying, some claiming to have seen the glowing eyes of the dog lady peering out at them through the bushes. Some said that they even saw the old woman herself, saying she looked wild, ancient, wearing distressed clothing, always in the presence of her pack of feral dogs. It was during the 1960s that the island came to be called the Dog Lady Island. The legend also says that the woman lost her tongue, possibly ripped out by one of the wild dogs, as they fought over carcasses of a dead animal. Somehow a phone number got around that was said to be the Dog Ladies. Teens would call the number, which belonged to an elderly woman who had trouble speaking. Teens jumped on that aspect and claimed that when they called the number, the dog lady growled at them. Another version says that her husband passed away. She was left with a number of Doberman pinchers. One day, for some reason, they attacked her. They ripped out her tongue and left her blind. She was later killed by a gang who kept her body in a coffin so now haunts the island.
Speaker 2:The legend of Dog Lady continues and seems to grow more and more, true or not. It seems to keep the kids in Monroe occupied, especially during Halloween season. Okay, so there's a lot more stories about this, so I'm trying to like touch base on all of them. Okay, so I did find some more stories and this is off Facebook, because Christina and I we did listen to a podcast on the way home from here and we kind of were like getting some more information about it. But let me tell you what this says.
Speaker 2:Okay, another story is told that it's a tale of a young woman in 1943 who was held prisoner in a shed on the island for two weeks. She was abused and repeatedly sexually assaulted by four men and, most disgustingly, forced to have sex with breeds of large dogs. Her tongue was cut out so no one could hear her screams, and her ankles smashed, so she was unable to run away. Although I could not find any evidence on this, she was rumored to have had a baby who lived feral amongst the coyotes on the island, and this kind of sparked the dog lady legend. She was rumored to have had a baby who lived feral amongst the coyotes on the island and this kind of sparked the dog lady legend. Okay, now, this is the one that I heard on the podcast. Another more sinister report states that allegedly, a ruthless local motorcycle gang had sliced her tongue out to keep her from snitching on their activities. When they took over the island sometime in the 70s, they were rumored to have murdered the old women I'm sorry, murdered the old woman and kept her rotting corpse in a coffin on the aisle. The legend has had enough of an impact that a movie about dog lady island is set to be released in 2017, which I do have to watch.
Speaker 2:Paranormal groups who have visited claim to have witnessed glowing red eyes, captured EVPs and colorful orbs around different parts of the island, as well as finding Native American artifacts and scattered animal bones. So, like I said, it is privately owned. I do want to book like a little camping session. Like I told Christina, we could just stay in the truck, like we don't have to like actually camp-camp, like on the grounds, we can just kind of like fall asleep in the truck.
Speaker 2:Now this person is commenting and saying is the dog dog lady Island even open? Um, okay, this person said the MC gang hung out at the Island just South of Detroit beach in secluded areas just East of the North Dixie Highway, been there with my dad as a very small child and he was hanging out with bikers. The bikers' names were the Iron Coffins. Now I personally work with someone that may have been linked with a member of the Iron Coffins and I'm just going to leave this totally where no one would know who this is. This person I'm not even telling you the gender has said that this person, this other person in Iron Coffins Motorcycle Club have done the most disgusting, fucking freakish shit ever and that they are involved in like rituals and that's yeah, that's uh. That's a whole other story, but I have heard about them so I would not put it past it and that they are extremely brutal towards women, which isn't usually a motorcycle um club thing to do. So yeah, um, okay, this person's name is Hard Rip Medusa. He says LOL, I have hung out and fished on that island all hours of the night many, many times, never had any sort of scare.
Speaker 2:I even met the film crew while they were working on the movie one night. I was wondering what was going on with all the lights by the gate. So I just walked up and asked um, oh, and it kicked me out because I am not on Facebook on my computer, only on my phone. So I guess it depends who you ask. But I always say that there's like several sides to a story and usually with these crazy tales they're All right, you guys.
Speaker 2:So we have talked on previous episodes that we did visit. Just this last January we did go to the haunted Hinsdale House in upstate New York. It was myself, christina and Tom, so we got there really early. I'm sure you guys have heard this episode, but just to go over it again, we just hung out. Everything felt fine. Excuse me again, you guys, I'm sorry, and it was. It was fine, you know, until later on into the evening, I mean even like two hours in. Tom was acting really funky. He just said that he didn't feel wanted, he didn't feel like he should go upstairs, and that was not like Tom at all. So he has said over and over that he believes that what we encountered again.
Speaker 2:Okay, so when we were outside this is probably about three o'clock in the morning, witching hour, of course we put on our warm clothes. Um, christina and I had hunting overalls on um that my, my husband, packed for us to use. Um, because you know it was in the middle of winter, Let me wet my whistle here. So Tom was dressed, pretty warm too so we were walking around the property, right, and we got to the bottom of the steps where you can walk up on the property, like in the wooded area, and you're supposed to give a gift and you know, basically, you know, know and feel privileged that you're there and you don't want to piss anything off and you basically ask permission to stay right and like here's my gift to you. People do like put ornaments on the trees like that they decorate, or it can be like change or money, or you know, know, whatever you give. And we had been up there earlier in the day and it felt very eerie up there. But so at three o'clock in the morning, um, tom's on Facebook live and Christina and I are.
Speaker 2:You know we got our phones and you know we are just like recording, taking videos and pictures, and I see antlers on the top of the hill and I'm like, oh, it's a deer. I'm like, look, christina, it's a deer. And she's like, oh, okay, and then all of a sudden it stood up on its hind legs, just like that dogman thing I seen in Houghton Lake. This thing was fucking huge. I mean I don't know because I was looking up anyways. I mean I I'd say it'd be anywhere from like eight to ten feet tall and it it actually looked at the ending of like thinking about it, I was like maybe it's like some sadistic person in, like a deer, like a deer costume, but it was just staring at us and we're like what the fuck? And like it's weird, cause we didn't even get pictures of it, like we were just kind of like shocked, you know, cause we're in the middle of New, you know New York I'm sorry, upstate New York. We're surrounded in forestry, like we don't know the terrain. I'm not about to walk up there and, you know, get murdered like that, like that right. So after me and Christina like conspired, like what we're both seeing. It was like an echo and Tom is on live and he's like I just seen a deer. It was like a deer man and every since after that, like Tom got really weird and he got like his shoulder was hurting and he just I don't know he was just was hurting and he just I don't know, he was just really, really off and he kept claiming that what we seen was a Wendigo and throughout the rest of the morning, recording and listening and you could hear like something like moving around us. Um, we heard these like weird I don't know, like almost like like mating calls, but it sounded human.
Speaker 2:So a Wennego is a mythological monster or spirit from Algonquin folklore that is associated with winter and cannibalism. Their appearance is described to be tall, gaunt creature with ice blue skin, glowing eyes and a body that resembles a cross between a deer and a man. So, oh my god, that just scared the shit out of me. I've never like looked up the appearance. I always thought that they were like this furry thing, I don't know like I read something before on TikTok. I thought they were like a furry, like little monster. I did not know that it's a cross between a deer and a man. That's fucking crazy. Like that's literally what we've seen. The behavior so the one ago is said to stalk and eat humans or possess them and turn them into cannibals. It is also said to bring biting cold, to bring I'm sorry to bring a biting cold and move with supernatural speed, and we kept like whipping around back and forth, because we kept hearing stuff around us, like at first it would sound like it was in the woods and then it would sound like it was really close.
Speaker 2:The origin according to the legend, the Wendigo was once a hunter who turned into a monster after resorting to cannibalism due to hunger. And then the significance of them. Wendigo legends are cautionary tales about the dangers of isolation, selfishness and the importance of community. Community and their cultural impact is the when it go has been used in many works of art and literature, including horror fiction and social commentary. The 2015 psa survival horror game until dawn features when it goes as its monsters.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I would. I would like to say that's probably what we've seen. Um, it's said, to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger and the desire to eat other humans and promoting humans to commit murder. I got very hostile like three times that night. Um, I kept falling asleep and then like I'd be woken up and I was like dreaming and there was just. I was dreaming of a lady upstairs above me that kept walking in circles with like wooden shoes and it was driving me nuts when I was sleeping and I like woke up and like yelled at them, like at Christina and Tom and then I guess I got like really shitty because I kept saying I needed to sleep, I needed to sleep and I, now that I think back actually talking about this again, christina and I ate a lot like we ate more than we usually do during like a, um, paranormal investigation.
Speaker 2:We ate. I think I ate like three sandwiches in like four hours. I was eating chips. I was like eating sweet stuff. That's weird because it said that it gives you like a big hunger. I can't remember if Tom ate a lot. I know he had a sandwich. I don't know if he had a lot of snacks or not, but yeah, so definitely personal experiences. And again, I did not know that their appearance resembled like a deer hybrid man. That's fucking insane.
Speaker 2:All right, so what I'm gonna end this episode off with is a skinwalker. Now, when I used to see stuff on skinwalkers, I used to laugh because I'd be like, yeah, right, like you know, I don't know, but after a Pioneer Cemetery, south Dryden Cemetery, aka Foot Cemetery, and all these other things that have happened while being out in this field and investigating and you know, researching I would definitely say that skinwalkers are very, very real and they do exist and you have to be extremely careful. So a skinwalker is a malevolent witch or shaman in Navajo folklore who can transform into possess or disguise themselves as an animal. Possess or disguise themselves as an animal. The origin is. It comes from the Navajo word ye naldushi, which translates to by means of it, it goes on all fours the powers that they have. Skinwalkers gain their powers by committing a heinous act, such as killing a family member. They are often depicted as coyotes, wolves, foxes or bears, but can take the form of any animal Role in the culture. Okay, so skinwalkers are considered the opposite of the culture's values and they are a source of fear and mystery. They are rarely discussed with outsiders due to cultural taboos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we just happened. Christina and I approached a what we thought was a horse off of excuse me, dice Road. Um, maybe like three to four months ago, and this horse literally morphed excuse me, I need some more water, I'm so dry today and I mean it like literally morphed in front of our eyes and it was so scary all of a sudden. And here's the thing like it was randomly just walking, so like we pulled over and we're like maybe somebody lost their horse or whatever. And then we started to see it morph and all this crazy shit happened. And then all these cuts appeared on its back end like gashes, and then it like sunk into like the rib cages and it it was like didn't even end up looking like a horse, like it, looked like a mule meets, like a very tuberculosis, like animal, I don't know, but anyways, I went on live.
Speaker 2:She has videos and pictures. We have it on our TikToks and as soon as I said this has to be a skinwalker, I was kicked out of live and I was violated and we followed this thing for a while, and that has not been my first experience with a skinwalker. So skinwalkers are witches from Navajo mythology who can shapeshift into animals like wolves, coyotes, birds or anything really, and to cause harm. They possess supernatural abilities such as speed, they can mimic people and they can literally mind control you. I'm sorry, there are many shape-shifting figures in other cultures around the world. So, um, some of the pictures are terrifying and if you ever come across one like, you have to be really careful. Um, well, here I'll. I'll tell you what right now Pione Cemetery. Uh, I don't know, was it last year or the year before? I think it was last year, like a year and a half ago, maybe. So I'm walking around the cemetery there by myself. Everyone else is on the other side.
Speaker 2:Okay, I start seeing Tom walking all the way back towards the cemetery, away from me, away from everyone else. So I'm a little, you know, interested. I'm like, oh, what does he see? All of a sudden, tom starts like running, like jogging, and no offense, but I ain't never seen that man run, you know, and it was just the way he was walking. And then, like he was started to jog, and then he started to run and like it didn't even look like him. And I'm like what the fuck? And I kept hearing something whisper, you know, um, go get him, go catch up with him, go see what he's doing. And I thought it was one of our people and I'm like, okay, so I start like jogging. And next thing I know it's all black.
Speaker 2:I'm all the way towards the Way, way, way out, by the main road, by the cemetery, you know, inside the cemetery, and Tom claimed that he kept yelling for me because at this point he was, he stepped outside of the cemetery with his brother because they started to feel some kind of way and you know, once you get experienced enough, you know like, okay, I got to step out Like I'm being weird and this is like whatever this energy is, it kind of has a hold on me, right. And I guess I didn't hear him until I finally hear him say Mel, I'm outside, I'm over here, because I kept saying Tom, tom, slow down, let me get up, you know, let me get. What are you doing? Like, what do you see? And as soon as I turn around and I hear his voice, I was fucking petrified. I'm like, how did Tom get from all the way back there to outside of the cemetery on the whole other side? Like that, that doesn't happen. That's when I realized something was trying to like lure me in and I was just like, oh, I should have known better, because when I seen his body start to morph like walking, to jogging, to running and I know that's not Tom, I should have known better, but of course got caught up in it I was in a trans. So, yeah, yeah, I think that pretty much concludes this episode about the skinwalkers and cryptids. And you know, monkeys, that they from what? My knowledge they still have not found.
Speaker 2:But I do want to end this episode on something positive, because it is still portal day. You guys, it's 11-11. It's a good day. One of my favorite quotes, all right, so this has been like my favorite since I don't know 15 years and counting. I'm surprised I don't have this tattooed on me yet. I do need to get this tattooed on my skin before I die, because it is, I don't know. I just I love it and it is a mouthful. So this is a quote. It says when you aspire to inspire before you expire, you conspire to inspire even after you pause to respire, and that is a good thing to say, to keep in your mind. That's a good like manifestation. Saying quote again because it's 11-11. Portal day is so important to me. I love this day, literally one of my favorite days out of the year, besides, of course, friday the 13th the year. Besides, of course, friday the 13th.
Speaker 2:Another quote that I want to end this episode, on which I just seen this the other day, and it's a lot of people would think that it's really dark, but I happen to like the dark stuff. So this is called Poisons, greed, hatred and delusion. I know them very well. They come to me quite often with tempting tales to sell. I invite them in for tea but ask them not to dwell. Then I hug my demons and send them back to hell. I think that's an important quote On portal day. You got a very uplifting, inspiring one. You got more of a dark one and if you know, you know like, if you listen to that maybe a couple times, I think they go great together.
