Tonight's guest is Mike Edwards. Mike, welcome to the show. Well, thank you, Vick. Well you're welcome, sir, thank you for your time. Mike, please give us a brief bio on yourself. Sixty one years old, retired Air Force. Two sons, Mary, live in South Louisiana and Croley, Louisiana. Worked here for years and years and enjoyed to buy you and studied to buy you until this happens, so I'm still here. Well, I can understand why an experience like the one you had would
change your mind about wanting to go out and study the buy you. I totally get it. And by the way, thank you so much for your service to our country. I really appreciate it. Well, you're very welcome, Vic. It's all worth it. You're a good man. One thing in your past that you didn't mention is the fact that you were a dog catcher for years. What would you say was the meanest dog you ever had to catch? Your deal with one hundred and fifty pound pitbull who has chained
to a trailer at a man's car lot. His name was Duke, and he got tired of Duke, and I had to come and get him. Found out he weighed more than one hundred and fifty pounds. He must have weighed one hundred and seventy five easy, big whoofer, and I had to get him off his chain, put him in the dead gum truck without him biting my honey up. As soon as I closed the cage, he went ballistic. So I was lucky. I've been bit by female pitbull protecting their
puppies. I gotta tell you what if you saw my arms, you believe I got scars. It looked like I tell people it's welding burns, but they're they're dog butts. And yeah, so it's pretty fair. When being a dog catcher. I'm gonna look here, you're gonna give a bit, You're gonna get scratch some so fas. Yeah, I'd say it has to be inevitable. Don't know how you do it, especially going up against a dog like that. That is tough. From what I understand, there's a
ranch in your eree. This had dog me unrelated problems. What can you tell us about that? That is the old Ziegler Plant Nursery, Crowley, Louisiana. If y'all look on your maps and find Crowle, Lousiana. There's a railroad track that goes right in between the town. I live on the south, the north sides over there. If you go west on that railroad track, straight down those rails, the Ziegler Nursery ranch is right there next to the rails. It's about a couple of miles out of town. It's
almost if you jump. I had my actual encounter on a train bridge adjacent to that, but out in the Bayou and the Ziegler Plant Nursery. The Zieglers, she told me she wrote her story and ghosts along the Bayou, so you can look for that. But this uh plant nursery. Two dogmen jumped down out of a tree. When the Zieglers are coming back from eating supper in Lafayette, they went to a seafood. They came back and they jumped down out of a tree, and that scared the credit at him.
Then a couple of days later, these dog men jumped over the fence. And we're talking a big fence. I've seen the fence. And the children were so terrified. They're on top of the car screaming, and they came on the property. Two dog men. One of them pooped on the porch and the wildlife people eventually they had a gun because they carry guns, you know, and they scared them off. But the wildlife people say, we've never seen the ascremen, the footprints or the hair that it left. So
that's factual. Yeah, the zieglers, ye, for sure. She said it's the ancient Indian burial ground and she thinks there might be a connection because her house was haunted. She said she her chairs move and dishes fallen, and they have rosary crosses on the wall and they were spending it on occasion. But she said a priest would not come back to the house. He tried to exercise as the house and he didn't come back. So that's all
a ghosts along to buy you. Yep, I've been there now. It's got a veterinarian that I know, doctor Artall, who lives there, and I told him the story. I told him you. He said, I don't mind the haunting, you know, he's a doctor. They don't bug me none, but the dog men, now what you're talking about. He didn't like it. None. Can't say I blame them. It's bad enough. They're gonna hang around and frighten that couple. The way they did, but the poop on the porch, yeah, that takes it too far.
That's too far. And seeing the tracks of the poop, and we don't have it in our charts. This is in two thousand and nine. I think they're pretty hip by now. I mean most of them I talk to say. It's not a coming occurrence, so these things stay well hit in the values. They got a valuers right there and her husband died. I called her, she said, yep, it's all true. I said,
there must be something that's proper. They won't or need. But I got a gun in every room, so you can call me before you come over. So I called her, you know, and it's a pretty big d Then I ran taker of the land, who mowed the grass and all that, in a barber shop and he said, yeah, the house is on it. I want to get a drink and everything started moving and I just threw my water and rano. So there you go, hundred houses and doge. Man, that's a good matchion old South Louisiana. You know the lore
here, witchcraft, magie, voodoo, god knows what else. Yeah, you've got your pick of spooky things going on down there. No doubt about that your encounter happened while you're hunting. Please tell us more about your outdoorsment credentials. Well, sure, vic, I lived in Louisiana for twenty five years from Texas, and I had to go to the library and did all my research, and I had to learn all the maps. I went to school on the maps in Louisiana. So there's fishing and hunting and hiking and
biking and getting lost and old relicts. There's so many old mansions here melod detecting. You soon know where I'm leading because there's some places you can go and you'll find I found several war bullets, you know, fishing and hunting and woodsmanship and cooking out no words, and it's just right up. This place is nothing but Cajun lifestyle French Acadians, and they know how to live
in the bayou. I guarantee it's really fun. I'm sixty one, so I've been doing it since i was seven, but I've only lived in Louisianna twenty five years. But then you can't not have something to do here. Yeah, you've been doing it a long time, pretty long time. I know. I can stand quietly in a buyou setting and listen to you know, the birds will tell you something, the squirrel, even the skeeters, and so it takes time. If you can stand here, look here,
I'll tell you what Louisiana buy you. At night, when the sun's going down and it's orange, that's when all the snakes come out and every critter and God knows what else. So you have to be a man to be out of the buy you like that at night. It's something I wouldn't wish on people, because you should get out. You see what I mean. You might become bait for something else that wouldn't be good. No, no, not at all. You weren't alone when that encounter happened. He actually
had a good friend with you. Please tell us about him. Hunter Bone, my German shepherd. I bought him for twenty bucks at the pet store here in crowded Louisiana. He was out of two of me, and he was a mail dough. So I picked him and I fed him and nursed him. I overfed this dog, German shepherd. He's a killing machine in the Bayoue. He attacked a freight train one time. I said, Hunter Bone, you don't need to do that. It's just he was a love
puppy and I programmed him. I just let him go. He knows what to do. He's swimming the bayou, but freaked me out as he jumped into the water with the snakes. I said, hunter, you are craziest sound of a gun. But I think he earned your Indian feathers pretty damn good. He was four years old when he actually got put down by the dog catcher, which made me very angry. He bit the mail man one time. I mean he bit through three fences in my backyard to get out.
That's impossible, but he did with his teeth. That took him a while. We're talking fence fence, so his teeth rolled bloody. But yeah, he got put down by the dog kitcher and after that. So but he is my good buddy and he's buried in my backyard. I got him a steel cross hunter boom. Yep. He never wanted to lose a fight. He never would turn down a fight, that's what I could understand. But in survival mode, I just let him go and he's watching out for
his mama. So wow, sure sounds like he was the heck of a dog. And of course I'm so sorry to hear that you lost him like that. That's horrible. If you've had a dog me an encounter, I would like to speak with me about it, whether I'm private or on the show. Please go to dog Mean Encounters dot com and submit a report. If you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest on one of my two Bigfoot shows, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting dot com and
let me know. All right, Mike, please tell us about your encounter. Now, give us every last detail that comes to mind, okay, big I worked at the Levac shipyards, seven miles west of Crowley, and it was Sunday, May seventeenth, two thousand and nine. If five thirty in the morning. I left the house. The sun was not up yet. We went three miles out of Crowley to the old deserted place. I
saw the railroad bridge. It was a deserted, abandoned bridge and got water around it in some land you can walk on, and said, come on hunter. It was early in the morning, it was foggy, it was overcast. The sun didn't come up till like nine or ten, you know, and we were in the fall and we're trapesing down the rails. We're tuting along. We get to this train bridge and it's foggy now, and we start. I said, Hunter, we're gonna have to watch our step
on this bridge. It's pretty long bridge. I mean it goes away way over the bayou, and we had to make sure we didn't step through the slats. I had a twelve gage riminton. I took the spring out of it a little stick, and I got a little six round buckshot buckshot bird shot bird shot buckshot bird Shot bird Shot, just in case I had some more shells in my jacket. We were going over the train bridge real slow and Hunter stopped. I said, what is it? Raccoon down here?
I said, what it is? Hunter, where is it? Where's that? That's what the CAJN say, where it's at? I said, where's that? He looked at me. I said, okay, what's that, you know? And he crept a little more. He's on the side of this bridge. I'm walking on the rails and the slats. He stops again and he's looking, but I said, what, I don't see nothing. Then it's just like a like a flash of time. You know, you're
you're totally underware. This thing, just demonic looking dog creature comes walking over the rails upright out of the fall, standing up on his back, hunches with the growley teeth. I could see the orange eyes. It looked like led lights or something in the ears. And I said, Lord Jesus, what is that. This is right in front of us, about twenty feet because that's how I think the fog was that day. We had falled for like a seven days. And I said, Lord God, what is that?
And I just totally the fear factor came over me. It's like a weapon this dog uses. I think they were related to me because my arms got froze fear. Everything my chag gave Hunter Bone was just so stunned, and he was going to attack this thing. I said, no, Hunter state like that. And I said, well, I heard a little voice, y'all every hundred one shot, you know, shoot now, And I pulled my shot up out of fear. I let go of some buckshot,
but it went over his head. I know that to this day. I don't know while I didn't plugged him right in the head with everything I had, but situation being like it is, he screamed and yelped and r and he turned and ran, and I know I shot another round of buckshot his direction. Going on the bridge. I might have put hit him in the back end of the hind ear in the ear or something, but I know I could hear him crashing off into the weed tickets over here, and I
said, forget this. We had to go back across one third of the bridge. We finally got to the ground part. That's when I stopped and turned and shot all my shot that direction. I said, well, there's more up in her, and he's looking like he don't want nothing more to do with it because he didn't like me shooting a gun. Not all animals are gunshot, but he just had enough of that. We ran back to that truck. We took off and went back to Crawley three miles away.
Yep, be ugly looking. We're talking. I'm six foot those things at least eight foot because he's over me. I could tell from twenty three years about eight foot. He must have weighed four hundred pounds. Big looking Arnold Schwarzenegger looking due with Paul and funky looking legs. But I actually did think it was the devil. I had to convince myself that it wasn't. It wasn't until I contacted the animal and wildlife people. They said, now,
mister Edwards, are you sure it wouldn't a bear. I said, no, sir, it wasn't a bear. Now listen to me. I'm telling you what I saw. He said, okay, tell me now. I told him everything. Said, well, if that's the case, sir, you're twelve gauge ain't gonna stop that it would kill you. So you're lucky. And yeah, I had told him the zone it was in the location on the map, GPS coordinates everything. And he said, well, we have a special phone number, mister Edwards, that we call. It's a
federal SWAT initiative or something. I forget it has an initials. I got to wrote down the paper. But they called them and they come out and deal with those. They terminate them Bigfoot and dog Man, werewolves, cryptids, they will find you know, you got like eight men in each vehicle. So he says, you just be lucky and you don't go back. No, I'm okay, I said, okay, if they have a good click. So they didn't deny that they're such thing. They have such thing.
But what he told me was that they reproduce just like any other animal. They have babies, they live in the value, they got to be near water. He says he's had a few calls before, and I'm sure they're wiser now. You know. That was two thousand and nine, that's what eleven years ago. But that's the first time I touched I had some old liquor bottle of old grand Dad I've had in there for forty years, and I took a shot of that. I don't even touch alcohol, and
I had a shot that day to calm my hind it down. It's like you're living in an old Disneyland, you know, surprize. I mean, I, oh, it's a creator By now I've come to realize that's for real. And I've talked to so many people and listen to your shows as well as others and even government agents and all the rest of it, and looked at every dang story. I mean, I've had time to research this, and I've also thought about how to catch one of these things, but
I have not been back to that location. I did send you Victors Vic. I don't know if you're going to share it with audience or not, but it's west to Crowley, Louisiana. Both those locations. The train bridge I included in the pictures I sent you. This trains bridge goes across this value, you know, and it's in the thicket. But when we made it back home, I said, I told the Sheriff's department. I stopped at a gas station. He said, I've seen bunny looking dog creator running
in front of my camera. But he didn't know what I was talking about it. I said, dog man. He just figured it was some gray dog or something. He said, you take care now. So it's like, you know, I've seen martians and no one's going to believe you. But I've to rationalize about this. There's probably made me a better person. At least you're not scared of mouses or bugs anymore. Yeah, but what if it's a dog man? Well, what do you you know? I
think the Good Lord was on my side. I know the head Guardian Angels, I'm god Freyer and believe in me. After something like that, I said, I'll just hang out at Walmart and melodetect. But this is in the boondog is a Louisiana So if there's one, there's got to be more, right, thick. Oh, no doubt. Do you see this as being a good thing or a bad thing with the authorities in your erae, you know about dog men and being there. I mean, after all,
they would know about them being there if encounters weren't common. Yeah, I think they do, especially in South Louisiana. But I asked the agent, I said, look, why in the name of a rational being with the South Louisiana, why y'all don't catch these creatures and put them on display for the general public can make us aware. He said, that's not what we do. But there's been other attacks, like North Louisiana, the chicken ranch
up here. My friend told me this. The dog man crept up here by Natchez and the Mexican workers shot at him and they said it was a bear, But that's not what the facts are. It was a dog man. Chickens and pigs and all these other stories are just now coming out. And the gentleman did I listened to. He was a Vietnam veteran, and he said that his unit ship dog men from Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to Vietnam to beat tunnel rats and to kill the viet Cong that
took the cake. But it's like you and me, we've never heard of a dog man before two thousand. Whatever it is, you know, you'd never think in your wildest dreams that existed, But it does, and that's what people need to know. It made me a better person yesterday did a lot better. I'm thankful that I wasn't mulled and I wasn't going to take it home, but I thought about ways of catching it. You can zap
up with electricity, you can get cage TRAbs. But there's a lot of people are Because you tell your story and I'm sharing with you, they come out finally said I did see this, and that it helps get it off their shoulder. It's like I hit a deer on the road type scenario, but this one's got fangs and teeth and is in your face. So that's what it amounts to. Yeah, anytime and I witness comes for it and gets her encounter out there, it's a good thing. So I'd like to
hear that. How far are you from the Natchez Trace, Mike, that's North Louisiana. I live in South Crowley. If you look on a map, we're only forty miles from the Gulf, so Hurricane Stump are place of dwelling pretty much they turn into rubble. But Natchez is North Louisiana and that is about a good hundred and something miles and it's the McClellan Chicken Facility.
And I got that story for a friend of mine, and he wrote down all everybody because he knew I was into the dog man, saying this is like twenty nineteen twenty and the wildlife people downplayed it as it was only a bear, but the Mexican workers said otherwise and sold the farmers. But that's what they because, and they told me the truth because they don't. One of the wildlife people have talked to several of them. He said, well, it's because they don't want you to run off from hunting and fishing.
They want you to spend money getting out in the woods. They don't want to tell you to look out for a dog man. So you know where Natchez is, y'all can look on Google maps. McClellan Chicken Facility. Yep. You know so many incidents. People are not talking. I don't understand why, you know, I guess they think people think you're crazy, but the honest of God truth. Yeah, boy, you know they exist. It's just respects, like respecting high voltage or Mama cap before she closed your
face off. You know, I wondered where they live, how they live, what they eat. They gotta have water and losing INA's jungle right now at summertime. Now, I'm sure they're loose. So I'll bet you know what. It's an old adage that you and I know about it. If you look for something hard enough, you're gonna find it. And you know that's the truth. That's right. They say that another way, also, be careful about shaking too many trees because the leopard just might fall out one.
That's what scared me when they said dog men waiting the trees and they fell upon you. So that's got me looking up in trees when they go out to buy you anymore. I mean, that's just common sense. So being sixty one, i'd be a little bit slower. I thought I was, actually thought I was a big and bad hunter out in the woods with a twelve gauge and nothing can stop me until this. After him, the wildlife person to exclaimed you you're not going to stop that creature animal, mister
Edwards with a twelve gauge. Don't try, don't go back, don't bring a posse out there to hunt it. Just tell us. I said, okay, good enough. And these seeing South Louisiana, they gotta be serious because they live in the bayou. They have to work around it. You know, the houses are on stilts here, flood hurricanes, everything. I mean, it's just the buyoue, mosquitoes, snakes, spiders, ass bugs. It's just it's in your face. And this thing was in my face.
It was May seventeenth of two thousand and nine, on a Sunday, YEP, about six am. I'm sitting here chewing my bubble gum with my dog and he just stops like that. He was like a pointer German shipher. I said, there's gotta be something serious, but I don't see nothing. When he came out, both of us, just the fear factor was just like a weapon. And so it's like a seventh sense almost. I say, man, this must be how he gets his preaker. I was
terrify. My adrenaline started going. I said, Lord Jesus and boll To this day, I don't know Vic why didn't shoot that thing in the head with two buckshots. But I guess it was just destiny for him to live and me to live and no kind of no blood. I know it's God's critics. I did ask the Good Lord, said, Lord, why in have his name did you make creatures like that throw on your earth? Because it's in his power to do so. He says, it's okay, good
enough. Did that experience draw you closer to God? Yes? Or it does because I know that the Good Lord exists, and he's just too plain in your face. We see all the work of his hand, you work making the universe and all this. There's no way you could get me to ever believe in a foreign god or any other theology. It won't work. I'm not going to worship a Barbie doll over God, you know, or whatever it is they put on the pedestal of their heart. It's just it's
too real. Sure it did. It brought me way closer to God. I've told people before and they walked away kind of freaked out. Oh, they said, oh you should. I warned my husband. You do that so the folk lord see because of this dog man, And now it's strange. I know you asked the same question. Why hasn't there been more research and video play and documentation before two thousand. I'm sure there has been, but not a lot. Now it's thousands of stories like you. You come
across thousands of people. You do a good service. You help people to get a grip on life. Well, thank you, sir, wouldn't have it, didn't you other way? Yeah, that's a good man, big, that's very admirable. Yep, people are not cracking. Well, thanks for saying that. I appreciate it. When that dog man walked out of the fog, was it focused on you were? Did you see him for
it? Saw you? His eyes were orange and it looked like LEDs and there were jugery, you know it kind of kind of growling standing there. He was looking at Hunter and me. I could see him moving his eyes looking and they were there that bright and the things and eyeballs and the ears and the cloths sticking us outsize and which one I'm gonna get? Tried to get him. I put my hand, I said, no, Hotter, stay and he couldn't believe that. But I think he would have shredded Hunter.
But that's how brave that dog was. He's willing to save my life, so all him that much. Bro. Yeah, he just come out of the fold and checking us out like we're Chris passing on his property. But people need to grow up. Just face rally. It's an animal. It exists, we know not where, but that's between him and you. I guess can it go out hunting these things? I think I would ask mama first when I hunting a dog, where are you going? Son? I will go hunt the dog man. We'll go back by dinner. Yeah
you might not. Yeah, it's like living through almost like an industrial construction accident. You almost got killed by voltage or this or that, or almost died in a car wreck. We almost got shredded by a dog man. That's about as blood as I care to be. I don't want to crossing body out. But I don't know if these things can be trained, you know, get it? I asked him, I said, why don't you get a small puppy dog man and trading him to be a keynine officer.
This is my dog. Please? Just I could imagine. I think people leave drugs along with a canine dog look like that. Yeah, yeah, if you could train them to do that, to be a Keynon officer, then, yeah, I don't think you'd have much of trouble with people trying to fight you did? This could look mean gier? Was it clean looking? It was hard to tell. He was dark browned into a lighter brown. Some of his hair was nappy. I remember that much like knotted balls
on the end of some of you didn't look too bad. I didn't detect a stintch, but you look like he was pretty furry. I mean, he's got to access to water. I'm sure around here you got access to buy you and cricks and coolies everywhere. Boy, I mean, you can't not run into a water supply around here. But look pretty clean to me? If their appearance does seem to run the gamut. Some are very clean in appearancing other ones look nasty. So you never really know what you're gonna
get. I believe it. Yeah, definitely. You haven't gone hunting since he had that experience. Is that a big source of frustration with you? Mike? Well, I'm going to get up enough nerve to go hunting again. I mean, you know, two thousand and nine was eleven years ago. I said, I'm not going to disobey a deputy of the Wildlife and go back there. Especially after that, I said, I might just walk into a trap and they'll never know I'm gone. So I didn't go back.
I've looked at maps, I've take him pictures of the place and sky daddle, but I didn't go down where I was at by the bridge. As far as returning to hunt, just of beying the orders of that No, in eleven years, I take up middle detecting. That's probably more rewarding. Or go hang out at walmart or I mean, there's so many things to do in South Louisiana it beggars description. You can't do it all. So nope, I haven't been back. Or no way, no way,
Wow. I hope you can get back into the woods soon then actually enjoy yourself when you go. Oh yeah, there's too many places to get lost in Louisiana. I think the Civil War was fought here. You can find I look for places. It's a treasure hunt on mats by looking at old plantations and boon doggy areas where there's nobody, which is very peaceful. You're in a good lord and maybe some bubble gum and beat jerkey and do your
thing. You know, when you get older, you like to look at nature, you know, flowers and this, and then just sit peacefully. But it depends on you, and it depends on how good of a woodsman yor if you're gonna go too thick, because you could run into the swamp now it's got a quicksand and not to mention the craters and snakes and raccoons and the coolies and the baloues. You gotta watch where you're going. That's why I always use the map before I go somewhere. I'd Google map.
I look everywhere for locations for meddle detection too. You know, you can't not find something in South Louisiana with a meddle detector. You're always going to get lucky. And it's so beautiful. Y'all need to check out Louisiana one day when it starts cooling off just a tad bit. When autumn gets here is a perfect time to go out in that value because then the heat won't burn you up so much and the skeeters let off of you. Yep, differently, I'm gonna go back, not to the same location, mind you,
no vic, but I'm gonna go. I hope you do. Did you have problems with nightmares after having that experience? Yes, for Vic, I did, I've jerked away. I think it's like a pack of them was around me, but I was always armed in my dream. I had a pistol, a nine milemeter pistol and a shotgun, and I never had hunter any of the dreams. But they're around me, looking behind trees, or I was in a campsite and they come out, or you know they're about to get me, and I wake up with jerk away. That's really
sad. But it's been a while since I've had nightmares because about four years ago when they stopped, so that's a good seven years. Yeah, it was quite often. I'm glad it's over. I mean, I just had to tell myself. You needed to tell your subconscious mind in your mind, you know, grow up based music and get back after like you're saying, well, thank goodness the nightmares stopped. Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm a veteran, you know, from the United States Air Force, and I'm
pretty keen to way things work. But I had to work myself. Why does this saying you know you go right, you genitally jump into why and what for why does this creature exist? But then you look, well, he lives on the planet Earth in the same area you do. He's gonna have to get around all these humans and all their technology and highways and barbed wire and power lines and schools and manufacturing. He's got to live somewhere, and we keep moving into his country. So yeah, it's strange. Why
does he exist? You know, he exists just like anything like a squirrel would. I guess he's got a right to be there. He was made. But I know in the Bible, which the Holy Ghost is gonna gives me discernment, he said he'd use animals as part of his judgment on wicked humans. So I don't think i'd want to be wicked against really really sinning bad and making him mad and go out somewhere and not show up back.
Because you got it, So it works both ways. You know, people show what you read, so you got to keep you cool and be non hostile. So pocket if only more people followed that rule, Yes, sir, you know some You and I both know they're gonna be people that are going to have a dog man experience. I've heard to keep hearing these. One of me and my grandpap worn out and almost got its. Well, almost is better than being, you know. I mean, you don't want
to get bit, but you don't want to have an encounter. You want to escape. You'd be thankful you can't. First some hair raising stories. As far as the truth about the matter, go check it yourself. That's my best bet. Research it. Look because there's too many reputable people, doctors, lawyers, veterans, all these people cannot be hallucinating. It's not fairytale time. It's just reality, you get. I bet you you could get used to a dog man. If you're around him enough, you probably
get used to him. I don't know, bro, I've had some big dog. This thing you'd have to teach it from a young Asian. The thing is, though, you know, animals have instinct. You don't have to tell them to bury their bones or kill or strike or maintain or drink or nothing. They know what's going on. They programmed already. Yeah, that's a good point. You said you sent a couple rounds over its head of a bug shot. Did you miss intentionally or did you miss him?
Do the nerves? Well, you know in your mind as a shooter. You don't know if somebody's dressing up in a dog costume and it looks in your subconscious mind, you're looking at this thing, this target. And I was so terrified. I raised it, I pointed. I think it was intentionally or unintentionally. It didn't level it off on It is right in his face from twenty feet I would not have missed. But I think it's the
look of the draw. You know, I blam, this is triple buckshot with extra powder, and believe you made it to put a hole in it. Stop sign, pick up your knee if you ain't careful. Yeah, I know what you mean. And I didn't kill him. I didn't shoot him in the face. I've asked me. I've asked myself why didn't I shoot him and kill him? But I guess that's just faith. I'm a
you ran and I shot after him. I know I probably peppered is hining a couple of times, but I didn't want to kill any critter for nothing, but this here warranted at least sending him him an idea. You know, I think I had saved myself essentially, because you know how loud of triplet Buckshot is of a rimagin. It is loud. I mean you're talking way loud. I work around jet engines in the Air Force, and they're allowed. You think ac DC's allowed, try jet engine. But this year
twelve gauge was it was the boss pretty good. I think i'd use a team gage and rather than a twelve gauge. But slugs. But see, I don't know my stuff. I don't know if that would stop at me there, So I didn't want to tempt fate and go back and see him. I'm getting he's ugly and stuff like Katy listen about you. So yeah, I didn't intentionally shoot him. That's what amazes me. But I know I got I rid of all my stuff in rain as long as I can
run to my truck and escape. Thinking the Boogeyman's running down the tracks after you. I've had that dream before. That's just hair raising, but it grew me up. You have to face it. There's sharks in the water off the gulf. Okay, everybody accepts that, so you just have to accept. There's a dog creature. So that's the way it is. You can go out there with a giant milk bone, dog bone biscuits and try
to draw this thing. But you know it makes you step back and think, Okay, I did that in your mind, said I managed to survive. I'm not going to attempt the law of physics because you don't want to pull a dog's te or is here because he'll buy you. So I just didn't go back. I'm gonna get out of here and go fishing and go back and to buy you. You know, there's no problem if I encounter
him again, big, I probably with my intent. I mean I was raised, like you wore it. I would shoot something, believe me, if I really had to, it would be shot. I was a security guard for years and I didn't ever want to shoot anybody. But something like this, it's an animal. You know, you can put it in the same class as animal critter, critter buckshot. That won't work. See the animal people told you that. He said, you go more like AK forty
seven or fifty cal. Then you're talking business. But not you, mister Everards. You use a twelve gage. That's you don't do that. So okay, no problem, So he told me, and I'll listened. I'm glad you did listen. You had your encounter in me of two thousand and nine. What were your thoughts on the existence of cryptics five seconds before you had that experience. Wel sir, you know I went to the library, like I'm said, I'm an avid researcher, and I've heard all about the
loop crews and stuff, and I thought it was just floor. I said, if there is those things, it's probably having to do with all the magic he goes here and a voodoo and witchcraft and all that stuff. You've been to New Orleans to believe me, And so I was thinking, you know, I might buy you, and I'm not expecting look here. I did not expect to meet something like that in a Louisiana boy. I thought when this happened, that I had trespassed in some kind of voodoo, satanic
cursed area and roused spirits. I thought it was a devil, quite clear, exactly the devil. I mean now it just thing. They're terminated me through fear, you know, but I don't like fear. No one does. But yeah, I would have never while I thought, well, I'm good to go just to buy you and me and my dog, you know, hunting along Lodi Dah. So I guess I took debate almost Yeah, it sounds like you did well, Mike. I can't thank you enough for
coming on ensuring the details of that experience with us. I really appreciate it. Thanks again so much, and have a great night.
