I I only thought that was a fallout 00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:32.310 thing that was up until we start talking about 00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:34.789 this today That's all I thought I thought was 00:02:34.789 --> 00:02:37.229 made a thing from fallout and I was like, okay 00:02:37.229 --> 00:02:41.310 cool and then sure enough It's for real. Well, 00:02:41.569 --> 00:02:44.729 it's a real topic It's a real thing that people 00:02:44.729 --> 00:02:46.509 are supposed to be seeing. You know what I mean? 00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:49.849 Yes. Okay. Well, and you're right because I remember 00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:52.689 seeing it in fallout 76 specifically because 00:02:52.689 --> 00:02:54.830 yeah, we'd play that was first time I seen it 00:02:54.830 --> 00:02:57.370 and I didn't even think about it. It's like sheep 00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.370 squash. What the hell is that? That's silly. 00:02:59.550 --> 00:03:02.389 Yeah. Oh, that's stupid. That's funny. They have 00:03:02.389 --> 00:03:04.889 so many made up things in there anyway, but then 00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:07.930 it started making sense because it's Appalachian 00:03:07.930 --> 00:03:10.129 mountain thing and that's exactly where that 00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:13.669 is. Oh, I didn't realize this is a real So good 00:03:13.669 --> 00:03:17.409 job fallout research team. Well in isn't wait 00:03:17.409 --> 00:03:21.270 Is there a real sheep squash or is that the robot 00:03:21.270 --> 00:03:23.710 one in the game and knowing the game? It's a 00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:25.469 real one. Well, there's two there's the robot 00:03:25.469 --> 00:03:29.250 one the sheep squash imposter. Oh Okay, which 00:03:29.250 --> 00:03:33.169 has its own separate like little side quest thing 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:35.939 and then there's also the sheep squash, the actual 00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.560 one in the game. OK, because I remember fighting, 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.539 I think, the imposter and I was like, this is 00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:42.759 stupid. It was hard. Like the imposter one was 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.879 hard. It would just laser beam everybody and 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.280 everybody be dead. Totally realistic. Laser beam, 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.080 sheep squash in my mutated Appalachian mountains. 00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:56.800 Well, mutated Appalachian mountains sounds like 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.919 it's a thing, but well, I guess we're just probably 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:03.759 not to go too far to find mutants. No, isn't 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.240 that like this thing? Yeah. I mean, did you ever 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.759 see that that guy that does documentaries?

Yeah, it's like the the mom is 00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:48.290 staring with her one eye. Yeah going like this 00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:52.470 like that and then you hit a kid son husband 00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:55.290 yeah, I'm knowing out of one side and I don't 00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:57.089 even know what's going on because he'd ask him 00:04:57.089 --> 00:05:00.250 and be like, hey, you know, so, you know, who's 00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:02.430 who's this person?

Mason. That's what county we're in 00:06:34.870 --> 00:06:37.910 right now. That's true. That is true. And this 00:06:37.910 --> 00:06:41.529 is very rural. Maybe. Just a coincidence. It's 00:06:41.529 --> 00:06:43.949 often depicted as a bizarre hybrid of sheep and 00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:47.689 Sasquatch, aka the Bigfoot, blending wooly features 00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:50.480 with ape -like or canine traits. Folklore ties 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.939 it to a remote wooden mountains Where it is said 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.860 to be elusive but aggressive when provoked sometimes 00:06:56.860 --> 00:07:00.480 preying on livestock such as horses Hold up. 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.699 I just remembered something.

I'm gonna birch butcher that all 00:07:34.660 --> 00:07:39.759 gonna bitch a birch bircher All right good job 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.089 Consistently describe it Has a large bear -sized 00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:47.750 quadruped about seven to nine feet tall when 00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:50.709 standing on hind legs Covered in shaggy entirely 00:07:50.709 --> 00:07:54.230 white wool like fur is a pointed dog or wolf 00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:58.329 like head with saber like teeth Goat or ram like 00:07:58.329 --> 00:08:01.069 horns such like like the single pointed kind 00:08:01.069 --> 00:08:05.629 not like those weird Goats that like ugly shape 00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:13.430 horns not like that. Oh, yeah It has a long tail, 00:08:13.750 --> 00:08:17.069 hairless, similar to an opossum's tail. Some 00:08:17.069 --> 00:08:18.910 reports mention. What? Yeah, yeah, like you've 00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:20.490 seen an opossum, right? Yeah, why would I have 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:23.310 an opossum tail? It's a sheep.

Yeah, well, because 00:08:28.310 --> 00:08:31.149 it's got the long face. Maybe it's more like 00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:33.830 a opossum squatch than a sheep squatch. With 00:08:33.830 --> 00:08:38.169 horns? I mean, yeah, because the things that 00:08:38.169 --> 00:08:42.159 I read kind of has a dog -like face. Uh -huh. 00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:46.759 Or wolf.

So obviously you're seeing that 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.600 at night. Possums kind of look like that. And 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.399 possums are predominantly out at night. And they're 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.580 really gross. Let me continue. They do stink. 00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.299 We're going to... Okay. I think we're on to something 00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:06.700 here. Reportedly, a sulfurous or musky odor possibly 00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:11.059 sent glands like weasels or skunks.

And then the other one, Shere Khan's 00:11:12.929 --> 00:11:17.169 like this big business guy that they're all afraid 00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.889 of. So, you know, that's what it would be like 00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:23.610 modern. Exactly. Or whatever. But that show with 00:11:23.610 --> 00:11:26.809 this mystery, it only had one season. Really? 00:11:26.970 --> 00:11:29.039 I feel like it went longer than that. Yeah, it 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.059 had 63 episodes in one season. Yeah. Hey, so 00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:34.919 that's a lot of drawing they like yeah, they 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.740 got green lit to do whatever for the season and 00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:39.620 they just did a bunch when then they never went 00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:42.159 for it renewed it or however that worked but 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:46.159 like that's How do we get on this? I don't know 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.700 a squash. Well, he sounds more like a possum 00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:53.980 to me though. I agree. I agree There is a history 00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:57.659 of notable sightings though, so While I'm skeptic 00:11:57.659 --> 00:12:01.159 already, let's Let me go over this and maybe 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.419 it'll shed some more light on your opinion We're 00:12:03.419 --> 00:12:05.740 not trying to totally it all over your story 00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:10.759 or whatever I Think it's credible that there's 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.000 a big foot out there in the woods around here 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.379 who might say there's not one down there, too 00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:18.059 I mean don't be surprised if I'm calling you 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.639 Stupid when you're like, I totally have proof, 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.460 but I don't have it. Yeah, basically like yeah, 00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:28.399 you can say I saw something and and I This is 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.679 what I thought I saw and you know, maybe you're 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:34.419 wrong. Our memories are obviously horrible and 00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:37.600 And before I get into the the note of quote -unquote 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.740 notable sightings. Okay, like I said before in 00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:43.720 the last one with With everyone having a cell 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.429 phone and every cell phone having a camera And 00:12:46.429 --> 00:12:48.610 the cameras being as good as they are now like 00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:50.529 Why are we not getting more videos of these things? 00:12:50.809 --> 00:12:52.750 No, I feel like like you can go on you can go 00:12:52.750 --> 00:12:56.269 on youtube any day and find a fairly recent ufo 00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:58.750 video Right that someone took with their shaky 00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:02.710 cell phone camera You don't find those of Bigfoot 00:13:02.710 --> 00:13:05.250 man. No, you know with everyone's got like game 00:13:05.250 --> 00:13:06.850 cameras out in the woods looking for stuff You 00:13:06.850 --> 00:13:09.149 think like someone would get like a good shot 00:13:09.149 --> 00:13:11.210 of one. Maybe people don't spend enough time 00:13:11.210 --> 00:13:14.279 in the woods now Yeah, well, that's probably 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.220 true too. So, you know like what are our kids 00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:19.899 doing right now? Playing video games. That's 00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:22.259 play playing the same goddamn video game. They 00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:25.019 play every day. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Oh, hey, 00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:27.980 buddy. Let's play fart night I'm gonna be just 00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:30.059 like my dad like I'm gonna call fart night until 00:13:30.059 --> 00:13:32.720 you get mad. That's what I call it, too That's 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.940 what I do. That's perfect. Yeah, like oh, it's 00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:38.580 a fart night. Oh, yeah fart night Yeah, now I 00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:42.039 totally understand why he did that All right, 00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:45.379 so Here's the history and notable sightings that 00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:47.980 we got here So stories of white mysterious creatures 00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:50.799 in West Virginia dated back decades Lending Native 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.639 American folklore with settler tales Native American 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.779 folklore. Okay, I can get behind that the name 00:13:56.779 --> 00:13:59.519 sheep squash emerged in the 1990s but earlier 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.519 accounts refer to it as the white thing That's 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.360 racist as yeah. Hey Yeah, so the earliest report 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.720 I have Dated here goes all the way back to 1929. 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.960 It's almost a hundred years ago. Yeah, this is 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.559 kind of like Is that newer or older for like 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.259 Bigfoot? Well, I mean you have Native American 00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:26.299 folklore so that probably goes back a few hundred 00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:29.080 years probably Yeah, those those kind of stories 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.659 get told generation after generation. Yeah. Well, 00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:33.559 that's a big thing around here And you know that 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.620 that was something I wanted to mention. We are 00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:38.070 really wanting to do some on -site stuff and 00:14:38.070 --> 00:14:40.269 that's where we need people's help. At some point 00:14:40.269 --> 00:14:43.070 when we get this up and rolling, give us. Tell 00:14:43.070 --> 00:14:45.009 us where you've seen one. Tell us something because 00:14:45.009 --> 00:14:48.190 it's a lot of fun to go and travel and go do 00:14:48.190 --> 00:14:50.149 a thing and prove you wrong. Make you look like 00:14:50.149 --> 00:14:53.090 an idiot. Because we can't be the only idiots 00:14:53.090 --> 00:14:55.610 here. Prove me wrong. Whatever. Don't shoot me. 00:14:56.029 --> 00:15:00.190 Yeah. So we're working on at some point we're 00:15:00.190 --> 00:15:03.049 going to go do some other stuff. Unfortunately, 00:15:03.049 --> 00:15:06.070 we have like these things called jobs because 00:15:06.070 --> 00:15:09.679 we have to have money because there's this other 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.399 thing called a family that you got to provide 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.659 for and all that. Oh, you know, we're, we're 00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:18.460 being serial for a second. So there's some stuff 00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:20.759 that we have to do in order to do the thing we'd 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.720 like to do, which is, is this. But, you know, 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.100 we were going to go somewhere, but the kids are 00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:29.340 here. So they're there. And so here we are. They're 00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:31.379 playing games. They're having a good old time. 00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:34.700 And I'm still complaining about them. Playing 00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:39.289 games. Kids go outside and load up and do some 00:15:39.289 --> 00:15:42.789 stuff. So, yeah, back to the story. All right. 00:15:43.350 --> 00:15:48.049 So 1929 Marion County, West Virginia coal miner 00:15:48.049 --> 00:15:51.429 Frank Kozel was attacked by a dog sized white 00:15:51.429 --> 00:15:54.250 beast with sharp teeth and a bushy tail while 00:15:54.250 --> 00:15:57.330 walking home through woods near Jordan 90 near 00:15:57.330 --> 00:16:01.409 the Jordan 93 mine. He escaped unharmed with 00:16:01.409 --> 00:16:05.639 no physical marks left on him. So. So that one 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.480 had like a fluffy sheep tail a dog -sized beast 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.059 with sharp teeth. What's a dog -sized beast? 00:16:12.779 --> 00:16:16.159 Could it have been a dog? Oh Wait, hold on. No 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.039 way So something the size that looked then the 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.379 size of a dog that looked kind of like it and 00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:26.940 had a bushy tail Okay, all right Jordan or not 00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:31.120 barely escaped from that dog attack You're probably 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.179 dead now, but I think you probably just got attacked 00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:38.320 by Straight dog probably. Yeah, okay. Let's let's 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.059 let's We could be wrong. I'm not trying to be 00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:44.740 a jerk. Sorry guy 1965 we have a folklore account 00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:48.879 and Ruth and music music's book the Telltale 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.200 lilac bush All right, okay a woman riding home 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.639 from church encounters a charging white beast 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.659 She flees on horseback but finds her horse dead 00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:01.340 the next morning stripped of flesh echoing tales 00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:05.440 of livestock predidation. Ooh Okay, so wait was 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:11.000 this from a book is that or Yeah, I think maybe 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.519 it's probably It's from a book and I imagine 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:21.359 the writer Ruth and musics Might have had maybe 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.519 says that a Experience. Okay, so they were saying 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.980 I it's in a book book. They've they This is probably 00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:34.029 what happened or so reportedly. Yeah 1994 in 00:17:34.029 --> 00:17:36.930 Boone County multiple reports including former 00:17:36.930 --> 00:17:39.569 Navy seamen spotting it kneeling to drink from 00:17:39.569 --> 00:17:45.690 a creek before vanishing into the brush two children 00:17:45.690 --> 00:17:48.710 seeing a six foot tall white bear -like figure 00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:52.430 in their yard which fled when startled and women 00:17:52.430 --> 00:17:56.809 glimpsing Glimpsing it on an icy mountain road 00:17:56.809 --> 00:18:02.829 illuminated by headlights So so a bear like Figure 00:18:02.829 --> 00:18:06.029 that ran away all like a bear. I wonder what 00:18:06.029 --> 00:18:10.670 I wonder what the bear population In West Virginia 00:18:10.670 --> 00:18:12.950 in West Virginia is I have bears in West Virginia. 00:18:12.990 --> 00:18:15.390 You know what? Of course. It's it's like the 00:18:15.390 --> 00:18:17.970 mountains I'm gonna wind out we're gonna do it 00:18:17.970 --> 00:18:22.829 right now. Just I'll just Google it Bears in 00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:28.890 West Virginia West Virginia is home to the American 00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:33.900 black bear. Okay, there you go, but A lot of 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:38.720 these reportings are white possums, kind of like 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.240 white and gray. That makes more sense, but the 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.559 black bears are dark. I mean, they're black. 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.460 Yeah, but they're also like, I've seen brown 00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:53.119 black bears. Brown black bears? Yeah, oh yeah, 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.259 yeah. Well, I mean, I don't think - Like, if 00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:57.799 you go out to Northwest Track over here, down 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.200 the way, if you go look at the bears, they'll 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.059 have some black bears in there, but like one 00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:05.509 of them - It's kind of brown, like that squim 00:19:05.509 --> 00:19:09.349 game farm thing. Have you been there? No. Is 00:19:09.349 --> 00:19:10.690 that a grizzly bear or a black bear? I don't 00:19:10.690 --> 00:19:13.410 know. It's a big bear. I know that. It's a fat 00:19:13.410 --> 00:19:16.470 bear. Because it eats all that bread. That's 00:19:16.470 --> 00:19:19.009 bread all day long. Don't eat bread. It's obviously 00:19:19.009 --> 00:19:21.789 not good for you because that bear is fat. It'll 00:19:21.789 --> 00:19:24.329 sit there on a stump and wave at you. Oh, it's 00:19:24.329 --> 00:19:27.130 super happy just like, hey, you got that bread. 00:19:27.410 --> 00:19:30.490 Oh, yeah, bread all day long. It's as happy as... 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.579 Hell to just sit there on its ass literally sits 00:19:33.579 --> 00:19:35.880 on its ass eating bread. We should go there and 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.819 investigate that I mean, I think if if I'm not 00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:43.220 mistaken bears are a canine Type and are they 00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:45.519 right? I think they're more related to dogs or 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.059 I should say dogs are probably Like a relation 00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:52.980 somewhere to bears because I believe in the the 00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:55.359 snout and the same kind of have a similar build 00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.250 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean so dogs get mange Lose 00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:03.690 their hair. Yeah hair turns turns. Well, right 00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:08.130 That's where you get chupacabras. Yeah, but it's 00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:13.849 maybe like it's a old sick bear Like fallout, 00:20:14.230 --> 00:20:18.549 yeah. Yeah, the yow guai. Yeah I'm like Japanese 00:20:18.549 --> 00:20:21.869 for bear. I think it's a play on words for yogi 00:20:21.869 --> 00:20:24.490 like yogi the oh Well, it might be I don't know 00:20:24.490 --> 00:20:29.250 cuz like I said, there's a Lamborghini is a ursis 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.640 Something I think it's you are us that means 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:39.220 bear in Russian some language. I don't remember 00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:45.920 not English so Back to all right. So that was 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.240 1994 in Boone County Now a year later also in 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.680 Boone County a couple driving at night saw a 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.099 white beast on a roadside ditch describing as 00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:57.400 having four eyes It lunged scratching their car 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.000 deeply before it sped away before they sped away 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:05.339 Well, yeah some giant hairy beast with four eyes 00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.240 Yeah, where's the four eyes coming from? I don't 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.160 know Why four? Why four is like he had glasses 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.519 on is he see bad like That's just mean you're 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.819 good. I'm trying to think why what would give 00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:22.240 it? I Don't know false eyes. It had reflective 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.900 false eyes on top of its eyes Okay look like 00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:27.000 four. I don't know. I was wondering that too 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.440 like why all of this is like kind of explainable 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.680 so far Except for the four eyes and that's the 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.099 second account that they had with four eyes Yeah, 00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:41.039 it'd be weird to see You know because glowing 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.039 eyes. Yeah, but like you saw you saw two obviously 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.640 two maybe they needed glasses. I don't know a 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:53.549 blur so Now that was 1995 in Boone County You're 00:21:53.549 --> 00:21:56.529 gonna see a pattern here. That's about right 00:21:56.529 --> 00:21:59.210 in Boone County. Also Boone County. Four years 00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:02.630 later, six campers heard bear -like snorts near 00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:07.849 their bonfire. Okay, bear. Bear -like. See, it 00:22:07.849 --> 00:22:10.109 all depends on the play. Unless you tell somebody 00:22:10.109 --> 00:22:13.809 something like, it was bear -like. And because 00:22:13.809 --> 00:22:17.089 that's the closest thing I could explain. Well, 00:22:17.109 --> 00:22:18.230 you know, so I don't know where they're coming 00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:23.430 from. Oh, hold on. We'll just take a quick Break 00:22:23.430 --> 00:22:25.869 here. Okay, there we go. All right. Well, we're 00:22:25.869 --> 00:22:30.349 back on track So They're saying bear like and 00:22:30.349 --> 00:22:32.450 if you're gonna argue like, okay. Well, it could 00:22:32.450 --> 00:22:34.890 have not been a bear. Tell me first Okay, how 00:22:34.890 --> 00:22:37.650 much of a bear expert are you? Because if you're 00:22:37.650 --> 00:22:39.950 not one then i'm just gonna say it probably was 00:22:39.950 --> 00:22:43.230 just a bear. Oh, I know because I remember somebody 00:22:43.230 --> 00:22:47.579 talking about elk hunting and What I explained 00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:49.880 because I hadn't been elk hunting and I've I've 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.420 seen things of yelp elk I've seen elk. Yeah, 00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:56.359 and I was imagining in my head though, you know 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:58.440 something coming up and it just didn't see you 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:02.500 and you would think something just like Just 00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:07.339 big and The guy was talking to is like no when 00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:09.599 they do their bleeding thing. It's super high 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.619 -pitched Oh, yeah when they're doing their calls, 00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:14.140 but I mean, I don't know. I'm just thinking it's 00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:17.289 breath but Don't know I've never yeah really 00:23:17.289 --> 00:23:19.769 been around once. So like you're saying have 00:23:19.769 --> 00:23:24.670 you been around a bear you do, you know, I mean 00:23:24.670 --> 00:23:26.670 The closest I've ever been to a bear is Northwest 00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:29.609 Trek. Yeah, I got back and tell you what and 00:23:29.609 --> 00:23:32.930 I couldn't hear it So no, you know, I've heard 00:23:32.930 --> 00:23:36.450 obviously bear. Yeah sounds and stuff, but like 00:23:36.450 --> 00:23:40.069 in real life. I don't know Anyway, these six 00:23:40.069 --> 00:23:43.140 campers They're saying the creature charged from 00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:45.819 the darkness chasing them to a nearby house stopped 00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:48.759 at the forest edge Emitting a terrible scream 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.440 the next day their campsite and trail were churned 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.619 up like tilled soil So something was like digging 00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:58.799 around and tearing stuff up bears do that. There's 00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.240 do that Yeah, especially when they're looking 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.819 for like food and yeah, they smell your your 00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:06.420 whatever you were cooking and yeah, yeah, yeah 00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:09.460 You gotta put it up up in the tree and hang it 00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:11.099 so they can't put it away from your campsite 00:24:11.099 --> 00:24:14.400 and stuff. Yeah. Yeah Dumb yeah, and I mean like 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.519 we're not like berry experts that go bear hunting 00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:20.079 or anything But this is just some kind of common 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.680 things, you know living out if I know this area, 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.480 you know this Yeah Yeah, so That sounds like 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:31.500 a bear. Yeah, the most recent account I've found 00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:36.200 from 2015 from Got to pronounce this L here. 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.839 Oh, well folks run, Virginia. Okay, there's the 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:46.920 other f you LKS run fouls folks run Campers spotted 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.759 a nine to eight or eight to nine foot tall so 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.019 it gets bigger I've noticed throughout these 00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:54.799 just as the years go on it gets well as you get 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.819 older you grow Yeah, camper spotted eight to 00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:01.099 nine foot tall version crouching on a hill across 00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:04.640 a river and waited downward towards them like 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.920 a bipedal dog with wet fur clinging to its chest. 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.119 Well, there's no bipedal dogs. I've never seen 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.099 a dog walk on two legs. Why is it a dog? Yeah. 00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:20.619 Huh. And when nobody's reported. They said they 00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:22.559 said the creature fled after hearing a distant 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.480 screech, letting out a pathetic whimper. That 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:30.559 sounds like a dog, dude, or a bear. Hold on. 00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:33.460 You know what I need to redo this you need to 00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:35.519 really be able to hear that hold up need to hit 00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:41.319 the break on that And all of these reports they're 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:46.119 saying things that look like dog possum They 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.920 look very similar. It kind of depends on the 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:57.019 distance Yeah, I had a break there so clear the 00:25:57.019 --> 00:26:01.599 throat None of them have explained what would 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:03.420 be a sheep squat with the horns in particular, 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.119 because I picture like the big ram horns or something 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:13.740 on it and it being bipedal, like a big foot, 00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:19.180 but maybe looking more dog possum type figures 00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:23.440 with the elongated snout and maybe the differently 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:26.750 hinged. limbs or something, but everyone's like, 00:26:26.789 --> 00:26:28.809 yeah, it's a thing that sounded like a bear and 00:26:28.809 --> 00:26:31.230 you know, it looked like one and it was rooting 00:26:31.230 --> 00:26:33.829 around and trying to get our food and stuff, 00:26:34.230 --> 00:26:38.690 but it was definitely a sheep squash. Yeah, then 00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:40.829 I seen this thing and it hissed at me and it 00:26:40.829 --> 00:26:42.869 played dead and it smelled really bad. It kind 00:26:42.869 --> 00:26:44.750 of looked like a possum, but I'm pretty damn 00:26:44.750 --> 00:26:48.230 sure it was a sheep squash. It was that goddamn 00:26:48.230 --> 00:26:53.670 sheep squash. So I mean this the sightings inspired 00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:57.190 a media like TV show called Mountain Monsters 00:26:57.190 --> 00:27:00.049 Oh It looks like there's only one season though 00:27:00.049 --> 00:27:03.089 one hunters were on one episode hunters built 00:27:03.089 --> 00:27:06.069 a trap in Boone County and monsters and mysteries 00:27:06.069 --> 00:27:09.690 in America as well as Books like Kurt McCoy's 00:27:09.690 --> 00:27:12.869 white things West Virginia's weird white monsters 00:27:12.869 --> 00:27:17.849 White things so okay. Yeah, so I have so credible 00:27:17.849 --> 00:27:21.500 evidence in existence Evidence of existence none 00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:25.660 the First sentence there is no significant forensic 00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:27.980 evidence confirming the sea of squashes existence 00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:32.839 No photos no video DNA samples footprints Captured 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.480 specimens all reports rely on eyewitness testimony 00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:38.500 only which vary in details and lack corroboration 00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:41.299 closest to physical evidence includes deep scratches 00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:44.180 in a car within the 1995 attack and then torn 00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:47.480 up campsite and trail in the 1999 That could 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:51.119 be anything. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I wanted to 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.079 find sheep squash. The people who actually investigate 00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.039 these things, the cryptozoologists, have yielded 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:02.859 no proof. Often concluding with speculation, 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.619 skeptics dismiss it is folklore amplified by 00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:08.220 West Virginia's rich cryptid tradition, such 00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:11.119 as like the Mothman, stuff like that, with no 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.779 peer -reviewed studies or wildlife biology backing 00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:18.339 it up. Well, it's you know, it kind of makes 00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:24.079 sense It's it's just such in the woods all you 00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:28.339 have is your small community Kind of reminds 00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:33.599 me My dad and our family we'd all go camping 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.200 or something and just tell Stories in the back 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.339 of the truck bed. We weren't like we weren't 00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:42.920 really camping. We just go out Like seriously 00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.569 in the Olympic forest there and go park up there 00:28:45.569 --> 00:28:48.410 and go watch the stars and hang out for the night 00:28:48.410 --> 00:28:53.349 or whatever. And he just tell stupid, goofy stories 00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:56.170 and stuff. But imagine that's all you have because 00:28:56.170 --> 00:29:01.329 your community is 10, 50 people, something small. 00:29:01.450 --> 00:29:03.769 You're all related. And you're all related. So 00:29:03.769 --> 00:29:09.309 you guys are all like... So what do you have? 00:29:09.470 --> 00:29:11.490 I'm picturing like the aliens from Mars Attacks. 00:29:17.909 --> 00:29:20.750 So it's pretty easy to see where that could easily 00:29:20.750 --> 00:29:23.869 turn into telling a story. So, you know, my dad 00:29:23.869 --> 00:29:27.569 used to tell the story about Mountain Mike. All 00:29:27.569 --> 00:29:31.890 right. It's not about you. Yeah, I know. And 00:29:31.890 --> 00:29:33.829 I don't remember the whole story. It was just 00:29:33.829 --> 00:29:35.230 really simple, but we're sitting in the back 00:29:35.230 --> 00:29:37.490 of the truck and we're looking. Brokeback Mountain 00:29:37.490 --> 00:29:40.289 Mike. Brokeback Mountain Mike. And that scared 00:29:40.289 --> 00:29:43.809 the hell out of us. And none of us are homosexuals 00:29:43.809 --> 00:29:48.150 anymore. So, anymore. Anymore. No, not what I 00:29:48.150 --> 00:29:53.269 meant. What story -wise was, there was a guy 00:29:53.269 --> 00:29:55.670 that lived up in the woods and everybody made 00:29:55.670 --> 00:29:58.589 fun of him. And for some reason he had his hand, 00:29:58.809 --> 00:30:01.700 it got cut off. And maybe that's why he went, 00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:03.279 I don't remember the whole story, but he had 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.559 a hand and he stuck a knife in it and he would, 00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:08.460 at night, he'd sharpen his knife. Sharpen his 00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:10.940 hand knife? His hand knife. It's like scuzzle 00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:13.259 butter or something. He had Patrick Duffy leg. 00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:16.279 He had Patrick Duffy leg. Celery stock arm. Celery 00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.700 for a hand. And he'd sharpen his knife up on 00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:22.099 rocks. So sometimes at night you can see, you 00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:24.460 can see the sparks flying off the rocks. All 00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:27.440 right, dad. You know. And then at that point, 00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:29.759 I'm sure he's like, Oh, do you see that or whatever? 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.220 And and that that was a story of mountain bike. 00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:37.359 But how easy would that be to be, you know, telling 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.720 kids about sheep squash? Yeah. Especially back 00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.519 then, when you have no way to like get on the 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.240 Internet and see if anyone else has seen it. 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.200 It's just your experience. Someone else's experience. 00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:48.400 All of a sudden, it becomes this whole thing. 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.980 Yeah, that's kind of what it sounds like. Yeah, 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.670 some guy was probably. Trying to scare his kids 00:30:54.670 --> 00:30:56.730 and get him shut up or something and told him 00:30:56.730 --> 00:30:59.029 the story and they never forgot it and shut up 00:30:59.029 --> 00:31:01.289 This could be a sheep squash. Yeah here go to 00:31:01.289 --> 00:31:03.369 better the cheap swatch gonna get you Yeah, you 00:31:03.369 --> 00:31:04.930 know, especially if you're out there hunting 00:31:04.930 --> 00:31:06.569 and the kids, you know, you're trying to show 00:31:06.569 --> 00:31:09.430 them how to hunt and they're just out there Damn 00:31:09.430 --> 00:31:12.490 you're gonna get the cheap squat. Yeah. Yeah, 00:31:12.630 --> 00:31:14.170 that's that sounds like something I would totally 00:31:14.170 --> 00:31:16.750 do Yeah, that's it. That's a tactic max comparison 00:31:16.750 --> 00:31:18.970 been doing forever with the kukui. No, you heard 00:31:18.970 --> 00:31:23.450 of that? No, it's like the boogie man Okay, and 00:31:23.450 --> 00:31:24.930 you're like you tell your kids you better go 00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:27.529 to bed Cuckoo is gonna come get you take you 00:31:27.529 --> 00:31:30.150 away. We're fall asleep Well, we don't do that 00:31:30.150 --> 00:31:33.369 anymore there. Oh, that's mean and I used to 00:31:33.369 --> 00:31:36.230 I used to think that way all the time like why 00:31:36.230 --> 00:31:38.569 why do we tell our kids and if you if you grow 00:31:38.569 --> 00:31:41.250 up with No one to tell you there's no such thing 00:31:41.250 --> 00:31:43.589 as that. You're gonna be like, oh man I guess 00:31:43.589 --> 00:31:45.369 I could better go to bed cuz I don't want the 00:31:45.369 --> 00:31:49.069 cuckoo to get me. Yeah, but it but there is value 00:31:49.069 --> 00:31:52.160 in that and I used to think It's so stupid that 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:54.740 we tell our kids there's a tooth fairy and if 00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:58.079 you put your teeth under the pillow and or, you 00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:02.660 know, the Easter bunny or Jesus. More South Park 00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:07.240 references. So. There's value in telling kids 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.779 stuff like that because they a story like that 00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:13.210 I think they hold on to. more than you need to 00:32:13.210 --> 00:32:15.549 go to bed because you need to be rested in the 00:32:15.549 --> 00:32:17.410 morning so you can be ready for school so you 00:32:17.410 --> 00:32:19.289 can learn and you don't just live with me in 00:32:19.289 --> 00:32:21.490 the basement and do a podcast like we're doing. 00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:24.230 It's a much more effective tool. Exactly. It's 00:32:24.230 --> 00:32:27.329 a lot easier to just be like, hey, if you don't 00:32:27.329 --> 00:32:31.049 go to bed, you go to bed then. You want to die? 00:32:32.450 --> 00:32:36.150 Keep testing me. It's not even me. Boogeyman 00:32:36.150 --> 00:32:38.690 going to get you a cheap squash or whatever it 00:32:38.690 --> 00:32:43.970 is. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Believers 00:32:43.970 --> 00:32:49.950 theorize it could be undiscovered primate, a 00:32:49.950 --> 00:32:52.869 mutated animal from the TNT area, which is a 00:32:52.869 --> 00:32:56.269 former World War II explosive site in Mason County 00:32:56.269 --> 00:33:00.329 linked to sulfur smells. Okay. Okay. Or even 00:33:00.329 --> 00:33:03.369 a supernatural entity more plausibly skeptics 00:33:03.369 --> 00:33:06.390 point to misidentifications. Yeah. Black bears 00:33:06.390 --> 00:33:10.710 standing upright. With frost or mud lighting 00:33:10.710 --> 00:33:14.309 the their fur. Okay. Yeah large dogs such as 00:33:14.309 --> 00:33:17.789 wolves or feral sheep or Feral ram hybrids distorted 00:33:17.789 --> 00:33:22.509 but by low light and fog or panic because people 00:33:22.509 --> 00:33:25.349 freak out and they see Stuff that was never there. 00:33:25.349 --> 00:33:29.170 Oh, yeah No, that never happens or or good old 00:33:29.170 --> 00:33:32.069 -fashioned hoaxes or cultural stories common 00:33:32.069 --> 00:33:38.549 and bleaching oral traditions Yeah, so Want to 00:33:38.549 --> 00:33:43.210 believe and it does address fallout. Oh Well, 00:33:43.210 --> 00:33:45.269 we got to hear about that. What about that pop 00:33:45.269 --> 00:33:47.769 culture? It's featured as a tough enemy in fallout 00:33:47.769 --> 00:33:52.650 76, but it's fictionalized It but that fictionalizes 00:33:52.650 --> 00:33:56.230 it further while fan fascinating. Oh, man My 00:33:56.230 --> 00:33:58.329 glasses just aren't cutting it anymore while 00:33:58.329 --> 00:34:00.950 fascinating is regional lore the soup squash 00:34:00.950 --> 00:34:04.549 remains familiar Firmly in the realm of myth 00:34:04.549 --> 00:34:07.400 without credible proof If you're in West Virginia's 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.039 Hills, keep an ear out for those screams just 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:14.940 in case. So are there any items you can carry 00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:20.219 that would increase your stats? Well, according 00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:22.900 to fallout, if you if you do encounter a Sheep 00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:24.840 Squatch and you kill it, you can take the quills 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.019 off it and you can craft items out of it. I don't 00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:28.840 really remember. Or the skull. You can make a 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:33.239 weapon out of the skull. Oh, yeah, you've got 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.639 the Sheep Squatch staff. Yeah, yeah. Think I 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.599 had that and it's like this. I don't like it. 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.679 Mm -hmm, but you got to get that uh, that other 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.480 Shepard's crook though to lure it out. Oh Yeah, 00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:44.820 yeah, cuz you had to do something with like the 00:34:44.820 --> 00:34:47.699 cows we had cows around Yeah to a spot and then 00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:49.199 the sheep squatch would appear and you'd have 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.219 to take it down. Yeah. Yeah Probably just play 00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:56.480 that again. That's a good game a lot of fun. 00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:59.440 They update it like they're still doing seasons 00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.960 It's crazy that it didn't just die. Yeah, it's 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:05.329 it's it well when the show came out Oh, yeah, 00:35:05.329 --> 00:35:07.309 you saw that didn't you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because 00:35:07.309 --> 00:35:09.170 they're adding the show. Uh -huh. I was like, 00:35:09.190 --> 00:35:11.949 oh, I might want to play. Nah. Did you see it? 00:35:11.949 --> 00:35:14.530 Did you see the first season? Oh, the show? Yeah. 00:35:14.650 --> 00:35:16.909 Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember you texted me 00:35:16.909 --> 00:35:19.289 a long time ago like, hey, Fallout's going to 00:35:19.289 --> 00:35:20.809 have a show. I'm like, awesome. It's going to 00:35:20.809 --> 00:35:22.050 suck. It's going to be like Lord of the Rings 00:35:22.050 --> 00:35:26.550 or some crap. Like, oh, man, maybe I'll be wrong. 00:35:26.630 --> 00:35:28.710 And I was told, because it was super good. We 00:35:28.710 --> 00:35:30.909 even had the kids watch it. I thought it was 00:35:30.909 --> 00:35:34.039 good, too. It was good. I'm like, yeah. Wait 00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:36.539 for the second one. So knowing what I know now 00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:38.780 about the Sheep Squatch Whereas before I started 00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:40.679 reading anything. I knew very little. I guess 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.239 we can I would have to say I don't think that's 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.159 a thing. I don't think the Sheep Squatch is really 00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.500 a thing I think I think people are seeing bears 00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:51.300 out there. Well, and you know, that's the whole 00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:54.780 thing about sitting down and actually researching 00:35:54.780 --> 00:35:58.380 some of that stuff is I Remember hearing about 00:35:58.380 --> 00:36:01.579 it That could be a sheep squash right there the 00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:04.059 whole coordinate though. Yeah, it was a dog sized 00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:06.639 one Well, it was a thing the size of a dog. It 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.619 looked like a dog a bark like a dog Smelled like 00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:12.340 a dog, but I'm pretty sure it was she squashed 00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:15.940 naturally obviously definitely a sheep squad 00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:21.340 that that's the thing about the Unknown I didn't 00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:23.380 know anything about that and you start looking 00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:25.239 at it like well, where does this even come from? 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:28.739 There's there's not even a person That pulled 00:36:28.739 --> 00:36:33.820 up that Said it had horns. Mm -hmm, but reportedly 00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:37.960 it's got horns as sheep. So I was like a lot 00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.960 of a lot of nonsense Kinda it's kind of disappointing 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.599 and by the way, if anyone out there has any kind 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:50.619 of Sheep squat story. I'd love to hear it. Oh 00:36:50.619 --> 00:36:52.719 Yeah, you're gonna have a tough time convincing 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.030 me now, but Tell me what you got You got pictures, 00:36:58.250 --> 00:37:02.389 some hair, quills. If you made the staff out 00:37:02.389 --> 00:37:04.829 of it. Wait, why does sheep squash have quills? 00:37:05.050 --> 00:37:06.889 I don't know, but they would shoot them at you. 00:37:07.449 --> 00:37:12.030 Yeah, but why do they have quills? Probably a 00:37:12.030 --> 00:37:16.210 porcupine element to it. Then that's a porcupine 00:37:16.210 --> 00:37:22.550 squash. Porcupine squash. I don't know. But yeah, 00:37:22.550 --> 00:37:25.550 you're right. I'm going to have a hard time believing. 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:28.900 Just saying Bigfoot. Hey, there's something there 00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:31.280 could be some sort of hidden ape. We just never 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:36.840 seen seems pretty unlikely. But that doesn't 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.639 mean that it can't be a thing either. And I could 00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:42.679 be totally ignorant about this, too, and just 00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:46.019 not realize what I'm saying. But I feel like 00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:49.840 the East Coast probably doesn't have the West 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.840 Coast. Would say has probably still a lot of 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.719 like totally undiscovered untouched wilderness 00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:59.780 out there. Oh Yeah, I can't imagine it's really 00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:01.360 like that a whole lot in the East Coast that 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.019 area because that because people have been living 00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:06.900 in those areas Like settled it and lived it for 00:38:06.900 --> 00:38:11.320 centuries. Yeah, I West Virginia is a really 00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.900 Mountainous nobody lives there either. So West 00:38:14.900 --> 00:38:17.800 Virginia is it interested? We were looking at 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:19.519 moving there at one point. It's like, well, this 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:21.320 place is super cheap because nothing's there. 00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:22.760 It's really pretty there. I've seen pictures 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.960 of it and it looks really pretty. It looks like 00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.739 Washington, but it's East Coast Washington. And 00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:30.760 apparently Pennsylvania is kind of like that 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.219 too. Yeah. It's like, hey, if you could get a 00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:36.719 house super cheap there, but what would you do? 00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:40.019 And you start looking it up and there's a few 00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:43.059 larger jobs. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's the 00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:46.730 capital. And a few other towns that are bigger, 00:38:46.969 --> 00:38:51.130 you know 50 60 ,000 people so there's large towns, 00:38:51.170 --> 00:38:54.889 but there isn't even a Costco There's not one 00:38:54.889 --> 00:38:56.809 cost there's no bus, Virginia. No, I was like 00:38:56.809 --> 00:38:58.789 what the and I look like why don't you have a 00:38:58.789 --> 00:39:03.849 Costco? There's just Not really a huge man. Not 00:39:03.849 --> 00:39:06.050 worse Costco's effort, huh? Basically. I'm like, 00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:09.110 yeah, that's That sucks. I could just go work 00:39:09.110 --> 00:39:12.110 at Costco But they didn't have one so we didn't 00:39:12.110 --> 00:39:15.800 go so you see you're still here Yeah, so here 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:19.179 we are just doing doing whatever and looking 00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:21.800 into Bigfoot in our off time. Someone's got to. 00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:24.860 Well, if we don't, who's going to some idiot? 00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:27.619 Yeah, I'm an idiot. I can do that. Two dummies 00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:36.619 get together and try to do it. Those are good 00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:40.519 microphones, dude. What the hell was that? Did 00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:43.480 you hear that? Did you hear that? It was like 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:48.780 a, it was like a dude. Who is getting these airplane 00:39:48.780 --> 00:39:51.980 hauntings? It's a ghost plane. It's a ghost. 00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:54.780 It's a ghost plane. It's a haunted plane floating 00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:58.699 by the liquor store owner. Crash is playing drunk. 00:39:59.780 --> 00:40:01.280 That's patrolling the skies looking for drunk 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.159 drivers, flyers, drunk flyers. You know, the 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:08.030 start in the show we really wanted to do. any 00:40:08.030 --> 00:40:11.349 sort of, I didn't know how to label conspiracy 00:40:11.349 --> 00:40:15.010 specific. I think that might be a little too 00:40:15.010 --> 00:40:19.090 broad. However, any sort of cryptid or haunting 00:40:19.090 --> 00:40:22.170 or just mysterious thing, I felt like that's 00:40:22.170 --> 00:40:24.869 a good direction to go. So there's where we are. 00:40:26.449 --> 00:40:30.489 However, it seems like the cryptid thing is, 00:40:31.269 --> 00:40:35.190 they make me laugh most of the time. It's like 00:40:35.190 --> 00:40:38.469 also, You know, a liquor store owner was flying 00:40:38.469 --> 00:40:43.650 his plane. Yeah. What? Okay. This story is totally 00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:46.449 believable. All the reporting's about sheep squasher. 00:40:46.510 --> 00:40:48.610 Well, it's the thing that looked like a dog or 00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:53.050 it looked like a possum. None of these stories 00:40:53.050 --> 00:40:55.429 said anything like, oh man, it was like, it looked 00:40:55.429 --> 00:40:57.210 like a giant sheep or it looked like a giant 00:40:57.210 --> 00:40:59.170 Bigfoot. No. Like you could have at least... 00:40:59.170 --> 00:41:01.449 No one said that. Just, oh, it was a big white... 00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:03.719 the thing that came at us and it clawed the car. 00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:06.260 Like, okay, well, I guess that's something, but 00:41:06.260 --> 00:41:11.260 you never took a picture of the car? I don't 00:41:11.260 --> 00:41:15.539 know. Maybe we don't have a full report. It could 00:41:15.539 --> 00:41:18.139 be possible. It's a lack of effort on our end, 00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:19.199 but you know what? Like I said, if anyone's out 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:20.980 there got a Sheep Squad story, I'd love to hear 00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:26.699 it. Oh yeah, contact us at yetiornot .com. Eventually. 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:30.400 That'll work. Well, I would technically I think 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.820 you can email us.

I'll 00:42:10.389 --> 00:42:12.610 do this for sure. I don't I don't really know 00:42:12.610 --> 00:42:16.789 we're just Kind of shooting this at this point. 00:42:16.889 --> 00:42:21.530 Yep, cuz Sheep squash let us down another disappointing 00:42:21.530 --> 00:42:25.639 nothing burger Yeah, well, it's just one thing 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:28.900 we can cross off the list. Yeah, well, I guess 00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:31.179 it's just kind of how it rolls sometimes. So 00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:33.440 instead of sitting here and trying to figure 00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:35.920 out what we're talking about anymore, we'll just 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:39.599 go ahead and cock it, load it, and get out of 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:39.719 here.
