Behind a grown field. We found a play ground with concreted Mary go round, swings just like a school yard. He passed. The dogs ate on him. The house Wes horrible haunted. The ice box would jump out of place at night while sleeping.? We had a den it had many windows. Pop pop the windows broke sound like gun shots. My mom was hanging clothes me and my sister was in the yard. Mom yelled drop to the ground! We crawled on our belly to inside the house. No bullets were found. It was crazy scary. Later I grew out of fear into fearlessness!!! I was a child hitch hiker. lol N. O. Was fun living most the time.

    This is an excellent interview. I am now a fan of Dark Waters, for sure! (Never heard of him prior to now.) One thing I thought I'd like to put out there, btw: There is a traditional folkloric creature in Ireland called the Fear Dearg. Fear Dearg is Irish for "the red man". This creature is said to be a ghoulish prankster that waylays lone travelers in desolate places and seems to delight in terrifying them. Check out W. B. Yeats' "Fairy and Folk Tales Of Ireland". There's a story and a section all about this entity. Also, there's a legend in the area around Detroit about a malevolent red-colored gnome or goblin... maybe that's related to what the witnesses are seeing? Just trying to help. All the best to you, lads! --N

    Very late to to this party, but I have been lead here for various reasons, but this is an outstanding, informative and one hell of a video and great interview hearing this brother speak on these stories. When I was 10-13 yrs old my dad ( who’s deceased ) had Made me aware of few stories he’d known of from 1970’s . He had a interest in these Bigfoot/ wolf man sightings, being we live here in Michigan which I believe has been a hotbed for activity and he traveled throughout the state south to northern regions back then in the 70s and 80’s as a computer technician . I often wonder did he encounter something judging from his interest, but I can’t confirm and he never told me anything. Anyhow, again great great interview and broadcast sir , thanx for sharing! Thanx to Mr Dark Water as well!

    I worked with a guy who claimed to be a Vampire. Yes we were working security on the graveyard shift. I called him Mike the Vampire. He was adamant that he wasn't a Goth. He hated Goths. He claimed to have been turned in New Orleans during Martigras. He had hooked up with a chick that he said was out of his league. They slipped up an alley to do the deed. According to him this turned out to be "Lilith" the mother of Vampires. We had an incident one night. We were working a temporary jobsite up in the mountains. Because of some crazy circumstances I had to go in on my day off. We were posted about a quarter of a mile apart. I saw something very strange creeping through the woods. I didn't see it so much as felt it. I felt like I was being hunted. Something told me that even though I was armed I needed to get away from my location. So I drove down to where Mike the Vampire was posted. He was sitting on the hood of his car when I pulled up and he was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I pulled up. He laughs and says "You must have seen it, I told it it couldnt sneak up on you." I was mad know, and told him that he better come clean about what that thing was, or I was going to kick is ass. He told me it was a Demon that had been sent by Lilith to convince him to kill me. He said he told it that he liked me and if it wanted me dead it would have to do it wìth out him because he liked me. There is more to the story; ɓut I don’t feeĺ comfortable sharing more at this time. Needless to say Im still alive.

    I don't discount any cryptid. I may not have experience with certain cryptids; but that doesn't mean they aren't real. I've had experience with bigfoot, ghosts, and demons. I could have shot the bigfoot that I saw. I was armed with a .45 Automatic; but I didn't think it was a big enough gun. Dogman seems just pissed off all the time. Even though I'm always armed, and with a rifle, or shotgun, in the woods, I wouldn't shoot one unless it were life or death. I always thought that the Wampas Cat was just a black panther. I had never heard of the Cat woman thing.

    I think what Robby said about focusing on one species is really insightful. I hunt whitetail, elk and mulies. When I pursue all three species in one year, I typically have mediocre results. However, when I have devoted my entire season to one species, I have had better results. My personal best whitetail was killed in a year I never hunted elk or mulies, I killed my best elk in a year I didn't hunt deer etc. I think folks spread themselves too thin when they go for too much. He also mentioned how young mule deer are killable because they are less experienced. For what it's worth, I don't think anyone should claim a whitetail, mulie or elk is dumb until they have killed one that's 5 years old or older.

    A lot of people call Charles a poacher but in my eyes he’s not a poacher per say, he’s an outlaw hunter. Poaching is riding the roads or shooting one under spot lights, he was actually hunting those deer. He was staying for days, weeks even and hunting hard, that’s outlaw hunting. I’ve known poachers and they don’t cull anything if it’s brown it’s down. Poachers don’t care about the deer herd where a hunter or in this case outlaw hunter is practicing management
