316. GHOSTS & BIGFOOT Caught on Camera! Bigfoot Tracks, Haunted Audio & Hawaii's Nightmarcher PHOTOS

0:00

Karen is submitting herself to the Bigfoot Call Festival. Similar to Bigfoot, many people have smelt the Night Marchers. All I know for certain is do not look for them. If you do have the time, take your clothes off and do not pee on yourself when you see them. We have a couple things that we're going to try to use photo evidence to prove the existence of the paranormal and potentially cryptids. Bigfoot is real and there is evidence to prove it.

welcome and creepy kid update

Yeah. Yeah. Very spooky. Hello. Hey, this is two girls, one ghost. Two girls, one ghost. And if you whisper it with us, you're not alone.

1:00

You're not weird. A lot of people do it. We are your ghostesses. That is Karin. Hello. I'm Sabrina. And I'm a bit melancholy today. Why? Depression's been knocking at my door. Yeah, but you love the rain and it rained so much yesterday. Did you run outside in the rain? Um, I didn't really get to enjoy it. Oh, but that's why we talk about ghost stories cuz it makes me feel so much better. It does. And I know I almost never talk about the things my child is doing, but we have um a new update on Noah. Oh, so he's walking assisted. Like he he floats on by. He just barely grabs your fingers and runs. Mhm. He has become obsessed with the skeleton. He loves Finn. All this morning he was like, "Let me in the room. Let me in the room." And I brought him in and he's like holding on to me one-handed. And then with his other hand, he's only 9 months old, so he doesn't have great balance. But with the other hand, he's touching Sven's face, touching his mouth, but he's not like really aggressive. He was like touching his ribs, trying to talk to him. That's so So, we have a creepy kid in the

2:00

making, which we knew. Yeah, cuz you would always birth the creepy kid, right? Well, today we have evidence of a couple of things. People love stories that have photo evidence. We love stories that have photo evidence. We love that. And some people are like, "Pish posh, that's not real." Well, we have a couple things that we're going to try to use photo evidence to prove the existence of the paranormal and potentially cryptids. And I think you should go first. Bigfoot is real and there is evidence to prove it. If you didn't already know, I'm a firm believer. How does Kin feel that the squatch is out there? The squatch live amongst us. And if you're lucky, you may just find a big footprint. For some reason, I just wanted to say squatch crotch. Which made me think about the boxers I got Brian on your wedding weekend. Oh my god. You rolled up to the wedding weekend. You'd stopped at the like cookie place cookie love in Vermont

3:00

and you were like, "Here's some cookies." And Brian, I got you this special gift. And he opens it up and it's boxers that say, what was it? Was it I think it said something about like squatch crotch. Yeah, something like that. It was Bigfoot themed boxers on your wedding night. little store in the tiny little town that you stopped in on the way. Exactly. Bigfoot was a part of your marital bliss. Always. Always. Man, missed opportunity to include him in my vows. So, Bigfoot is real. Mhm. And I'm covering some indisputable evidence. This is a factbased episode. We're gonna talk about the classic prints, the Bigfoot tracks, and also a newer piece of evidence now that we have the technology that we do today. Captured vocalizations of Bigfoot. Karen is submitting herself to the Bigfoot Call Festival in Whiteall, New York. It's every summer. Yeah. Catch Karin there. Everyone goes like this over there. I don't need to go. I don't need any hands over. I got it. Okay.

4:00

Bigfoot Sasquatch. We should just do like a a five minute episode where people submit their Bigfoot calls and we just do all the different Bigfoot calls. I'd love it. Yeah. So, send us a video of you doing your best Bigfoot Call and we'll put a compilation together. We can vote. And then also, we'll send you an award. We'll send out an award and then I think before all of the ads, you know how we normally have Leia meow, we'll do Bigfoot. We're just going to do random people's Bigfoot calls. It's a transition. It's going to be so shocking. God chaos. I'm just imagining like a really heartfelt sad story. See you on the other side from Sarah. This episode is sponsored by We have to do it. It's so funny. Well, I can talk

bigfoot!

about Bigfoot all day. Bigfoot has a few other names that we have heard. Sasquatch, abominable snowman, Yeti, Yahi, many other names. We have a three-part Bigfoot series. It was episode 232, 233, and 234. So, if you

5:00

want to get into the nitty-gritty details of Bigfoot, we did cover a lot there. So, like Karen did two episodes of Bigfoot evidence, and I did like a hoax episode because there are a lot of hoaxes about Bigfoot. But in your hoaxes, it was a really important. So, part one is about like kind of the historical evidence of Bigfoot and how Bigfoot came to get its name. Part two was hoaxes. And you also gave kind of like an identification chart of what to look for. The red flags. The red flags and the green flags. Like how do you know if something is authentic, right? Or could be authentic. And then part three is sort of those like modernday like caught on film footage. Okay. So Bigfoot, it's this large bipedal creature covered in fur. Often the fur is described as a dark brown or a black, but oftentimes if you go out to like the Himalayas, Nepal, they'll talk about like the classic abominable snowman having this white fur, but often times still has like this sort of brown in those areas, too. It reminds me of like

6:00

an just like a weasel. You know, how they like in the winter their coats white to match the snow and then in the summer they're brown. Yeah. Bigfoots usually stand about 8 feet tall, but some accounts have reported that the creature be up to 15 feet in height. Huge. Wild. It's estimated that many weigh around 800 lb. So, obviously, when there's a footprint, it's a pretty deep footprint. Found a hefty foot. And these footprints measure up to 24 in long and 8 in wide. Its hands and feet appear quite ape-like. And researchers have found distinct dermal planes across the feet similar to apes. And this is one of the things that you brought up in that second part of the Bigfoot series is the dermal plane. So it's almost impossible when we look at photos that I'm going to present today to see if there's dermal planes because it's something that comes up when you put a cast or take a cast of the print, right? So when the print comes up, if it's totally flat, you know that someone probably went out with like a wooden board or some sort of carving

7:00

and stamped the footprint in. But if you put your own foot in ink and pressed down, there's going to be all these like little tiny marks of This makes me wonder folds. You know how like every fingerprint is unique, which is why you can get caught for crimes with your fingerprints. I'm curious if Bigfoot or even just animals have that same thing. Like, do they have unique imprints imprinting on their fingers that we could catch their crimes or at least identify like was this the same being creeping through my yard every night or are there multiple? Ooh. The creature's eyes are said to be quite round and sometimes they're reported to glow red or yellow. They're mostly seen at night, believed maybe to be nocturnal or just using night as a time to wander around freely. Mhm. oftentimes they're spotted alone. They try their best to avoid humans. You'll often hear about knocking. So, the tree knocking where they take a branch or something and knock aggressively on a nearby trunk to

8:00

warn you maybe of its presence and to have you back off. If you get a little too close, you might have a rock thrown at you. They do like to throw rocks. They really like to throw rocks. It's interesting because is it bears who will like rub up against the bark and it's like almost giving themselves little back massages? Like I wonder if Bigfoots do that too. They do feel apeike enough that I'm like I wonder if they just in their little crew scratch each other, you know, pick out stuff of each other in each other's fur. Looking for a Bigfoot to pick. I have some combs that I don't use. I'd be happy to spare one groom you really wish I was wearing the Bigfoot costume just sitting here listening to you sweating your ass off. I know. But just sitting here so good. It would be so fun. Okay, Bigfoots, they make noises. They will shriek. They will howl. They will growl. They will scream loudly. It echoes through the forest and across canyons. It's thought that this could be a form of communication between Bigfoots, but also to warn hikers and rogue campers or

9:00

people wandering in the woods to back off. They also come with an incredibly strong odor. Quite foul, it is said. You got me the scent of the moon. I would like to find a company that has the scent of Bigfoot bottled up. Yuck. But yum. In the last 50 years, there have been more than 10,000 eyewitness accounts of Bigfoot in the continental US alone. Damn. Yet, Bigfoot has never been captured. We've never found a dead body of Bigfoot. And so, that's kind of where the conspiracy theories, which I won't get into in this episode. We did cover them a bit in the three-parter and have trickled them into so many other episodes whenever possible. brings them up. But there is the theory that, you know, Bigfoots are not some sort of traditional crypted or creature that just exists here, but they could be some sort of interdimensional being that kind of works their way through portals that they have some sort of like cloaking capabilities where they can become

10:00

invisible or hide themselves and move freely without us always knowing. But we do still have evidence of their existence. And the first piece of evidence that I want to go over the tracks Bigfoot footprints. A big foot in the snow. A big foot in the mud. Cuz that's one thing like if they as physical beings can teleport or go back and forth between different dimensions, wherever interdimensional beings, if we want to call them that, they can't erase their footprints. Oh, they can't. But it is also interesting because it's like often times there will be a couple prints and then it will just seem like it completely vanished into thin air which is odd because it's like well if there's something this big moving forward where did they go? I'm just picturing I don't know what movie first did this, but the like trope of walking backwards to make it look like your footprints are going in a certain direction or walking to a certain point and then backpedaling in the exact prince to like mislead a

11:00

No, I think it's like an older thing, but I'm just imagining Bigfoot's trying to mislead people and so they drop out of the portal, do a couple footprints and then back up through them really strategically. And we don't know how far they can jump. What if they can fly? We don't know. That's true. They think the T-Rex have wings now. So, we don't know anything about anything. No, we don't. Bigfoots could be purple and sparkly.

footprint evidence

Okay. So, indigenous people across the world have been reporting on these mysterious large footprints and these huge beasts in the woods for centuries and centuries. Himalayan Buddhists often speak of their encounters with these giant creatures to date. So, there's still many modern sightings. And it was evident that these things had been around for a very long time. However, there is one person, a white man, who was often credited with the first discovery of a set of Sasquatch footprints. David Thompson was one of North America's greatest pathfinders and surveyors. He traveled by foot, by horse, by canoe all over the continent. He just spent the majority of his life outside traversing these unchartered

12:00

territories and dense woods and just difficult terrain to navigate. Mhm. And he was establishing the first permanent trading forts in much of North America. In the fall of 1811, while traveling through Canada, he was not able to take the route that he had planned to take. So instead, he had to follow the Aabaska River and then he journeyied up the Aabaska Mountains over the Aabaska Pass. It's a hard word for me to say and I can't believe I had to say it three times. You did a good job. So this was a multi-month journey. This took a really long time. So he was in this area where he was like basically chartering his own path. No, he did have a team with him. On January 7th, 1811, David wrote in his journal, which he had been keeping the entire time about something quite odd that they encountered at the mouth of the Whirlpool River. Here's what he said. Quote, "Continuing our journey in the afternoon, we came on the track of a large animal, the snow about 6 in deep

13:00

on the ice. I measured it. four large toes, each of four inches in length, to each a short claw. The ball of the foot sunk three inches lower than the toes. The hinder part of the foot did not mark well. The length 14 in by 8 in in breadth, walking from north to south, and having passed about 6 hours. We were in no humor to follow him, and the men and the indigenous guides would have it to be a young mammoth, and I held it to be the track of a large old grizzled bear. Yet the shortness of the nails, the ball of the foot, the great size, it was not that of a bear. I love that you're almost you're like reading it as if you're the one who's writing it. Like the confound, confused mentality. What have I seen? What have I seen? Otherwise, that of a very large old bear. his claws worn away. And this the indigenous would not allow. And so accompanying David on this trip was a group of men. And four of these men were

14:00

very seasoned hunters. And so in the three-part Bigfoot series, we did go over what bear tracks versus Bigfoot tracks look like and have a whole section on that. And so many of you guys might be thinking like this could be a bear. But with all these seasoned hunters, they're looking at these tracks. The people who live on the land are looking at these tracks. And the hunters are like, "Hard pass. We're not following this thing because we don't know if our weapons, our guns can actually do anything against this creature given the size that it appears to be, right, based on its prints, right?" So, this is kind of the start of people really across continents, across countries, communicating with each other as they travel about the wild men that they encounter. H. And so while David Thompson found evidence of one in Alberta, Canada, there were also now many reports popping up in the Himalayan mountains. Explorers, outdoorsmen, guides, photographers, whoever dared go

15:00

into these mountains. They found large humanlike footprints in the snow. And the Sherpas called this creature mto kongmi, which means as a direct translation into English, man bear snowman. I mean, fair because it's like it's a combination of all these things, right? What is it? And we did cover this in a three-part series, but there was some translation errors along the way, and that's basically how we got Abominable Snowman in the Himalayans in this time. We finally got the first photographic proof of these prints. What year is this? This is now the 1950s. And British explorer and highly respected Everest explorer Eric Shipton was looking for an alternate route up Mount Everest, which is so crazy cuz like, think of how many people go up Mount Everest now. Like Are y'all seeing Bigfoots? Probably. Are you just thinking you're hallucinating? I don't know. It's also just so extremely dangerous that Yeah. I'm sure the Bigfoots are scared of everyone who goes up Everest. They're like, "Why are you here? You I watched you guys die for

16:00

Yeah. a century now. Also, there's so many like there's like specific paths that you have to take and follow when you're going up Everest." So, there's plenty of free space for Bigfoot to run. Totally. So, Eric shipped in. He was looking for a different route up Mount Everest alongside fellow explorer Michael Ward and famed mountaineer Tom Bordion. So he had a very qualified group of people going up with him. They were west of Mount Everest on the Nepal Tibet border when Eric Shippen spotted a humanoid footprint in the snow and he placed his icepic next to the footprint and he snapped a picture. The footprint wasn't much bigger than Eric's boot in his hiking boots, but it was still really large. It was about 13 in. And this footprint was very clear. It left a sharp imprint in this like crispy snow. And the large toe almost looked like a thumb. It looked very primate like and it definitely was not a boot and definitely not a human. Can I look? Yes. Wow. Its second toe is much taller than

17:00

the big toe. It would not be good at point. No. And this is confusing because it's like if you look at the bears in this region, it shouldn't really match because it does it does look much more primate like, right? It looks like a gorilla's foot. Wow. But are gorillas on Mount Everest? I don't not that I've heard of. I'm not a scientist, but I don't think so. Huh. Okay. So, the footprints went on for about one mile and then they went down the glacier. So, whatever it was could navigate really intense terrain. Barefoot, too. Barefoot. Yeah. There's no shoes. This bear wasn't wearing shoes. Yeah, shockingly. No, but I mean that it's not a human because leave shoes out for your local bears. You don't know how cold their feet are. They might want one, but their thumbs, they don't It doesn't work. It doesn't work. They need like Crocs. Crocs for for Bigfoot. You think they're going into your trash for food? They're actually looking for shoes to fit them. Did anyone throw out some old hogas? Okay. Eric and the other men were very

18:00

highly respected in their fields and so it was never really a question that this could have been some sort of hoax. It was immediately accepted as proof of some unknown creature navigating the harsh mountainscape. The evidence of said creature being this rogue footprint and also many oral stories that were passed around by the people in Nepal and this region. And this triggered the hunt for the yeti. I hate that it became a hunt. I know. You know we have TV shows all dedicated towards this now. everyone. And we talked about this in the three-part series, but I feel like there's just this like desire to be the first person to catch and in order to really like present it, you probably do have to whether it's dart it with a sleeping aid or kill it. Kill it. No, it's it's awful. I mean, think about how many people have they've all been hoaxes, but said that they have like a dead Bigfoot in their freezer or whatever and then Jeff the Mongoose. We did Jeff the Mongoose as an episode and there's someone who went in and said, "I shot and killed Jeff." And thankfully it

19:00

was a different mongoose, but still a mongoose lost his life. I know. Very upsetting. Okay. But yeah, you don't have to be a hunter or TV personality apparently to to find evidence of Bigfoot. In 1980, 50 years ago, but it feels recent to me when we say 1980. Locals in Johntown, Pennsylvania discovered this odd footprint. Interesting. It was 17.75 in long. So 17 and 3/4 in long. It was pressed into the dirt, but it was not in the woods. It was not on a trail. It was by someone's house. It was in a residential area. Just one print. Just one print. And this footprint appeared around the same time that people started reporting really weird noises in the area and foul odors wafting through. I feel like Bigfoot made a mistake. Like he he didn't mean to be there, right? It's so deep, too. It's huge. Yeah. So, in the photo, there's a matchbox put and someone's hand for size comparison. It's extremely deep. It's huge. The toes are very

20:00

spread apart. So, it's interesting because the guy who wrote the journal said that there were four toes and this has five. So, maybe there was because his foot was cold, he lost a toe. He he may have. And also I will say if Bigfoot is this sort of alien interdimensional being are there many different types of Bigfoots from all over. Why not? What do we know? We don't know anything. Then a very recent sighting an email from one of our listeners Brianna who we read this email in encounter 79 but that was before YouTube. So we didn't have a way of presenting these photos because I mean YouTube existed but we were not we were not on it. Yeah. Sabrina sent in an email titled, "My dad found evidence of Bigfoot." She writes, "My dad goes deer and elk hunting in a super secluded area in Eastern Oregon every year." Oregon, Bigfoot country. Mhm. He's an avid Bigfoot believer, and it all started because of one of the hunting trips.

21:00

Years ago, while walking around in the woods, he spotted a footprint on the ground. Upon spotting it, he immediately ran back to the camp to get his phone and something to make a makeshift cement cast or whatever you call it because this thing was huge. It was a barefoot print that was about three times the size of any normal human print that he'd ever seen. First of all, no person is walking around these woods barefoot. Second of all, my cousin had size 18 feet and these prints were even bigger than that, which that I feel like is a size 18 foot is massive. Where is it? We were in Seattle and in the public market there's like a little like museum to the and downstairs with like the largest shoe ever created for that man that we talked about. I can't remember when we talked about it and what his name is, but his foot was massive. I mean, he was massive. If he walked around, you'd probably say that was Bigfoot print. Yeah. My dad still has the casting and the picture somewhere, and if I can get a hold of it, I'll send pictures, which she later

22:00

did. This print is not natural. After that, he began looking for more signs of Bigfoot every year. Last year, he had another strange experience. While looking for a deer in those same woods, he found a deer carcass with a missing head, which also seems to be another MMO of like a decapitated deer or like a deer hung up in a weird way of on the trees. That in itself is not odd because poachers will illegally kill deer just for their heads. Oh. To like put them on the wall. Yeah. If you're going to kill a deer, eat the deer. Don't just decapitate it. Run away. Weird. Just don't. You weirdo. Don't eat animals. That's personal preference. The carcass had pretty much been picked clean, which again isn't odd because other animals in the area would likely do that. Mhm. What was exceptionally odd, though, was that the next day when he passed by that same carcass, something had put its head right back on top of its carcass. That's weird. That's definitely not something another animal or a poacher would do. He

23:00

thinks maybe Bigfoot decided to leave him a gift or maybe a warning after seeing my dad poking around at dinner. Crazy, right? Okay. And then we have six photos. Oh my gosh. So, the first photo was the one that her dad saw was in the rocks, which it looks like there's five toes here as well. It's also like I'm impressed. I guess they're hunters, so it makes sense that they're like tracking and stuff, but I wouldn't notice this. I wouldn't stop to look at this because it's in the rocks, right? You're not looking for Yeah, the ones in the mud are a little bit more obvious. Yeah. Perhaps though, if you're a hunter, you recognize tracks and you're in Bigfoot country, your mind might go there a little bit more. But I would look at this and I wouldn't think anything like, "Oh, there's just like a weird indentation. Someone slipped or Yeah. But no, it's like when you actually look at it, you're like, oh, there's the toes." And why do I feel like they like almost look like dinosaur size prints? Like what if Bigfoot is a dinosaur lives? Totally. But then but then it's like why don't we have

24:00

evidence of their I mean that's the hardest thing. Well maybe they go and die like deep deep deep within caves or something you know like how like a dog will run deep into the woods to try to die away from its family. Like maybe Bigfoots or they have like their own sort of ceremonial burial practice. I think the only way I could believe that Bigfoot are real is if they are interdimensional beings and they die somewhere else. Because I do feel like or are collected or they're Yeah. they're beamed up by aliens. I mean, if they're not of this world, then perhaps whatever they're made out of, could decompose at a much quicker rate than how things of Earth do, right? Like the way that it mixes with the soil or whatever. Maybe it's just like done. I think the whole thing is if you believe Bigfoot is real, I think you also have to believe that we are so limited, which this part is fact. We as humans are so

25:00

limited by our knowledge. And we only know what we know. We don't know what we don't know. And there is so much that we don't know. I know. It's wild. Yeah. Okay. So, perhaps I should spend some time following Brianna's dad around. But

Graza olive oil

on to another piece of evidence, which is the Bigfoot vocalizations. Hey, Karen, can we stop for a second and talk about something we're obsessed with? Oh, yeah. And it's right in front of us, because this episode of Two Girls One Ghost is brought to you by Graza, our favorite olive oil. It's fresh, it's never blended, and it comes from a single type of olive. And it's straight out of high in Spain, which is where half of all of the world's olive oil is produced. I'm tempted to just immediately undo. I mean, look at these bottles. They're super fun. and they're easy to squeeze so there's no mess. I also have really high cholesterol in my family and making sure that I have good healthy fats is really important. And having Graza have all the oils sourced from one place means a fresher product

26:00

without any unknown oils, which is really good for my health and my heart. And honestly, what a good housewarming gift. And they have three types of oil for any task. So, there's the frizzle for high heat, the sizzle for everyday cooking, and then that drizzle to put on your bara salad. And you can get 10% off on your first order on Graza's site. I personally recommend grabbing the trio like we have, the sizzle, frizzle, and the drizzle. So, you're set for every style of cooking. So, head to graza.co and use TG to get 10% off the trio, the frizzle, sizzle, and drizzle,

vocalizations caught on tape

and get to cooking your next chef quality meal. So, we did talk about this and play the audio in the three-part Big Pig Bigfoot series, but I'm bringing it back. There is a sound called the Sierra Nevada sounds, which is one of the many recorded Bigfoot sounds that has not been able to be disputed or debunked still today or like proven to be something else. Right. Exactly. The sound that was recorded suggests that

27:00

Bigfoots have rudimentary language through complex spoken sounds. This series of recordings have been analyzed by professionals who can't identify what creature is making the sound, but based on what they've heard, it's been theorized that the animal is quite larger than a human. And based on the frequencies of the sounds, it's definitely not human vocals either. Interesting. So, this specific recording, you can listen to the entire recording. It's I think there's like 30 minutes of audio or something like that that's public, right? But I'm going to play a very short clip of it for this podcast. But these recordings were captured by a group of friends. They were also hunters. And in the 1950s, they started going deep into the Sierra Nevada mountains for this annual trip together. And for two decades, this group would go have the best time, had no issues, just enjoyed their time together until 1971 when the sun set and odd noises began to emanate through the woods. It sounded big. It sounded close. And sometimes it would happen in the dead of night, waking them from their slumber. And the men would be really

28:00

scared. So there's photos of the tree that they would actually hide in, but there was this like hollowedout tree. And the trees in this area can be massive, you know. And so they're hiding in this tree and they have like a makeshift door basically to like block themselves in. And they would hide in here together and listen to this creature. And it sounded like grunting and screaming and whistling and whooping and wrapping on trees and rocks. And if the noises began when they were outside, they would run into the shelter. But after that, they started to kind of just spend a lot of time at night in the shelter because it just kept happening over and over again and they did not want to risk their safety. So this happened in 1971 and the next year when they returned, they actually brought a reporter with them named Al Bry. And Alberry was very skeptical of Bigfoot, but they wanted another person to be like, "No, this is someone outside of our group who can also hear this, maybe if it happens again this year, and this will be proof and this person can record the sounds." So over a series of

29:00

recordings, they managed to get 90 minutes of audio recordings, 90 minutes of Bigfoots, there's thought to be more than one captured on these recordings. And in the audio, they mimic the sounds back to the animals in an attempt to communicate. And here is what they heard. Hello. Hello. There's two of them across the creek at the big rocks.

30:00

If anyone wants some inspo for their calls, That's right. I feel like at the end they're getting like Yeah. Even just listening I felt like tension like they shouldn't be poking them like that. No. And it does feel like there's some sort of scheming

31:00

almost between the the group Yeah. of not humans, of like Bigfoots of like a should we go get them? But it's so wild cuz it's like the range of vocalizations in that is crazy. You know, you have like the which kind of sounds elk like in a way but obviously a lot deeper, but then there's like they're like Yeah. You know, when there's a like that's why I'm saying like it felt like at first it was just a call and then it started to get more and more aggressive and anxiety. Like I feel like the Bigfoots had anxiety and that's why it was getting a little bit more chaotic and messy and it almost felt like a pack of dogs barking at each other. It did feel like that. The voices sound so different too. Like it's almost like they have a very distinct Yeah. Like I guess like humans, too. But it does, right? It It's crazy. Okay. Ew. So, this group of people, they would strain their eyes. They would try to peek through the cracks of this like wooden structure of logs and tree and whatever that they put

32:00

together to try to protect themselves, but they would never see anything. They would never spot the animal. But clearly, there was something or many somethings right there, right? So terrified, they'd huddle in the fort until the sun came up. Sometimes they would find footprints, large footprints in the snow or in the pine after this. And after a couple of years, they wondered if whatever it was was trying to scare them away. M so the tapes have been reviewed by many experts and everyone has come to a similar conclusion. It would be very difficult to fake this because so many of the voices are overlapping each other in the tapes. The group of human campers are trying to make the noises back and and they sound so different than the potential Bigfoots. Yes. And then the the two creatures that or they think that there might be two um are presumably communicating with one another or trying to send some warning signals to this group of campers. Wow. Based on pitch and sound, it's estimated that the beings are about 7 to 8t tall. That's so interesting that they can

33:00

based on sound predict the height. That's so wild. All right, so everyone remembers what they just heard, right? Yeah. May 2024, we get an email from a listener in New Hampshire named Beth. Okay. She writes, "I recently listened to your episode about Mount Wy, and this triggered a memory of mine, and I'm going to tell you about a story related to my husband's," which I love saying a husband instead of ex-husband. Oh, wait. I like that. A husband's family farm. Yeah. During that time, I lived on the property and a lot of weird things happened. One night, it was around 9:00 p.m. in the late spring and early fall. I had just gone to bed, so the house was quiet. All the windows were shut because even though it was warm during the day, once the sun goes down, it gets quite chilly. Mhm. As I settled in, I heard a loud sound in the woods across the street. It sounded like an owl. And we do have lots of owls in our woods, and they're a rowdy bunch all summer long. And then I heard another hoot. And this one made me think, that's a loud owl. And then a third hoot. And this one sounded like a man imitating an owl. And

34:00

it was so loud that I shot up in bed. I grabbed my phone and I ran out of the bedroom to find my husband and I could still hear it and it was whooping, not hooting. I met my husband at the door and he and our dog scrambled inside absolutely themselves. The dog was terrified he was so rattled and then my husband grabbed a gun and so did I. And we went back outside and we stood on the porch to listen. We could clearly hear that there was this creature on two feet that was whooping as it ran behind our barn towards our field where our livestock were. Another common thing is Bigfoots are sometimes attack livestock. I was able to record the sound and I'll attach it for your listening pleasure. We took off the porch running towards the sound in our animals and when we got which also so brave and also dumb. Yeah, don't do that. But I guess they have weapons. Brave and dumb sometimes are synonymous. Yeah. When we got to the field, everything was quiet. We have a guard llama

35:00

and and he seemed very laidback. Like whatever this thing was was not a threat to him. Why do I feel like a guard llama is always laidback? Yeah. Also, what a good guard animal. I want to spit on and trampled. Not me. I want like instead of like beware of dog on my front door, it says beware of llama. Beware of llama. Llamas and camels. Underrated guard animals. Oh my gosh. I feel like emus would be good ones, too. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Most of them are nasty, I think. Yeah. Swans, too. Yes. Geese. We have options. We got to train the geese and the swans to like us and hate everyone else. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Now, side note, we have seen him run off a moose and wild dogs. So, it was surprising that he wasn't alarmed by this thing. We didn't see anything that night. I have so many more questions about a guard llama. Like, how how do you train the guard llama? Also, do you have a photo? And what's his name? I want to know more about your llama. We didn't see anything that night, but it was eerie. And when we sent the recordings off to BFRO, which is the Bigfoot Research

36:00

Organization, they analyzed it and they said that it was not a known animal to the area that we were in. Time passes and a few years later, we find a 14-in set of tracks in our driveway. There was a 6ft stride between the footprints and they were leading away from the barn door. The driveway is hard packed dirt, so this thing must have been heavy to leave these prints. Jeez. We did cast the print and the strangest thing is it only had three toes. Otherwise, it looked like a normal footprint super sized. That time that was all the evidence we had, but we did find a few more prints weeks later after a tornado had ripped through our property and taken out about 80 acres of woods, which is also such a rare thing to happen in New Hampshire. It was also the same time of year that the previous encounter happened. Where we live has a rich history of Bigfoot encounters. There's a huge swath of marshland near our property and there's a gas station in the area that has all kinds of documentation on the walls, maps, sightings, newspaper articles about all

37:00

of the encounters in the area. We have to go. It's so close. Whoa. Okay. And then here the sound. Let me pull it up. Is the sound. Okay. I mean, that's really close. What was that? They're right down by the sheep. Down. Take that. Where's Russell? Is Russell the llama? You got a gun? It's hard to hear, but in the background you can hear the What does a loon sound like? Kind of

bigfoot conclusions

like that, but I feel like higher pitched. Yeah. I don't know though. That's a good point cuz they are in marshall land. Interesting. It's also interesting. But basically, this is my call to action that in

38:00

addition to sending us your Bigfoot call. Yeah. If you have footprints, if you have vocalizations, if you have photos or any sort of encounter story with Bigfoot, if you have feces, if you have hair, show us pictures or send them to me. I want haunted objects. Karin wants Bigfoot paraphernalia. Mhm. Okay. So, also, I didn't include any of this for this episode, but on Reddit, there's an entire forum basically dedicated to people Yeah. presenting evidence that they think could be Bigfoot. And then in the comments, it's all people going back and forth of like, is this Bigfoot? Is this not And it's usually not. But there was another, it wasn't New Hampshire, but it was Maine. Another story that I so appreciated where this man was like, "What is this?" And there's just these tracks that are smaller. Like they look like almost human tracks, but very confusing, just like up on the mountain near a river just going in this deep snow. And he was like, "Is this some sort of weird like Bigfoot type

39:00

creature?" Ah. And so he posts it and then weeks later he posts again and he goes, "Update. Talked to some locals and there's a local guy who just comes up here, takes his shoes off and walks around in the snow." And people are like, "Yes, this is the evidence and research and investigation." I do appreciate that. Yeah, because we do believe a lot of things over here at Two Girls One Ghost. And especially when it comes to your experiences, your stories. Who are we to say whether or not that's true? If you experienced it, we're going to believe you. But when it comes to things like Bigfoot that have not been proven and we want to believe exist, it is good to debunk things. It is good to do your research and find out if there is a man who likes to walk around barefoot in the snow. Yeah. You have to do your due diligence. Exactly. And I think that's the hardest thing about anything in the paranormal or otherworldly realm, aliens included, telepathy, anything that's just not believed and recognized as a

40:00

known fact. You do have to do a little bit more work to prove it, unfortunately. But I mean, I guess that's that's like everything in the scientific world. Think about how much effort was put into showing people that the earth is round, right? We have to prove everything and then we have to try

the nightmarchers

to disprove everything too to make sure that things are the way it seems. Exactly. But we believe we believe you and there is another thing that we have some evidence of that. Hey, it's up for debate. But we have I found multiple different pieces of evidence. We're going to talk about that. Now, is this up for debate? I feel like it's the existence full belief. The existence of these beings is not up for debate. The evidence in these photos and videos I'm about to show you is what is up for debate. Okay. Yeah. Thank you for the clarification. You're welcome anytime. They rise from the ocean. They emerge from the burial sites. They gather in groups and encountering them could be

41:00

fatal. They are the deadly ghosts of ancient tribal Hawaiian warriors. They are the night marchers or the hua kao. It just already feels like I feel like I can hear the drumming. I can see the fire. I can hear their voices. And it just feels so intense already in my mind. And I also spent so much time last night looking on TikTok and Reddit and listening to videos that are believed to be encounters or sounds and visuals of the Night Marchers. And so like all night my heart was racing like I felt like that drum warrior battle cry was echoing in my head. So I did originally cover the night marchers in episode 88 but that was back in 2019 and it's been 6 years since then. So there is a lot of new evidence and more stories that people have posted online. So, for this proving photo evidence of the Night Marchers, I'm going to revisit briefly

42:00

the history, the context, the origins, the beliefs of the Night Marchers. And then we're going to go into specific photos, videos, and Reddit stories about the Night Marchers. And you might know what photo I'm talking about because it kind of made its rounds and has continued to make its rounds on social media. Is this the hike hiking? Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. I also before I get into this I want to give two references because the night marchers are a Hawaiian belief and I think I should credit the locals the people who live there have grown up with this through generations and generations. There are people who are more qualified to speak on this and so I just wanted to give them a little shout out in the beginning of this episode. So, there is a book called Hawaii's Night Marchers, a history of the Huako that is written by local Native Hawaiians, and there's like three or four people who collaborated on writing this book. So, cool. And then anything from Hawaii's ghost guy, who

43:00

they call Uncle Loka, who was actually recognized by the state legislature for his storytelling and perpetuating a lot of Hawaiian legends, lore, and history through his storytelling. And I'll also link in the YouTube video and in our show notes a really really good video of him telling a horrifying creepy story about the night marchers. You're practicing Bigfoot call. That's actually pretty good. Thanks. Most everyone who was born and raised in Hawaii has heard of the night marchers. The ancient warrior spirits who roam the islands at night. And if you do know about them, you know to not go in search of them. And if you hear them and see them, do not engage. Do not interact with them because they are what nightmares are made of. I do recall, I think when you covered this last, it's basically like if you're on the beach or if you're somewhere, you just basically

44:00

like head down, lay down, be as still as possible. Yes. Pretend you're not there. So, we'll go through a couple of the actually I relisted to the episode and I asked as Idkrin, do you know what you would do if you saw them? And you nailed it on the head. You got it immediately. It was basically that. There's a couple other nuances to it and other options and I will share them in a moment. But similar to Bigfoot, many people have smelt the Night Marchers because, and I don't think I referenced this in episode 88, but apparently they have a really foul smell. H almost suluric volcano. Dead in some way, right? But it's interesting cuz I feel like most ghosts, you don't smell death on them. Yeah. Like if there is an interesting thing because often times like sulfur is associated with volcanoes or like certain sulfuric springs and hot springs or like evil entities or demons, right? But that's what's so interesting

45:00

about the night marchers and I'll continue to explain what they are and how they present themselves, but they almost feel like a completely different category than spirit. It's almost like godly or there's some extra ethereal aspect to them. So there are many people who have smelt them. There are many people who have seen them because they travel with torches. And there are many who have heard them. Fewer have seen them and survived to tell the tale. Because if you look upon them, death is almost certain. The Hua Kaipo rise from their graves, roam the islands at night, and specifically on nights that honor the Hawaiian gods. They march from sunset to sunrise, dressed for battle. Some carry spears or clubs. Others carry torches that illuminate the night and can be seen many nights on the beaches, in deep forests, a top hills, truly anywhere. Wow. And there are these paths that are believed to be night marcher paths. And if you build on top of them,

46:00

they will truly go through it. If you park your car there, there's a place in Aahu, and I couldn't find the specific spot, but there's a parking spot, one specific parking spot in a lot that they ended up having to block off that spot because multiple cars overnight would get crushed and people would come back to their car the next morning. And it was because the Night Marcher's path goes through there. And they don't care what's there. They continue to go. They march accompanied by thunderous and ominous battle drums. They chant and they also are accompanied by the warning sounds of conch shells. So like I said, many have heard their battle cries, seen their torches illuminating the Hawaiian landscape. Some have even smelt them, but no one dare looks at them. As it is said that any mortal who looks upon them will be seen as acting in defiance, and the night marchers will be certain that that person dies. and not just dies but dies violently. And this kind of relates

47:00

to what their role was in life because the night marchers in life were the guards and protectors of sacred people like kings, chiefs, chiefs. So whoever they were guarding, it was disrespectful for a mortal or a regular human to look and make eye contact with that person. So the night marchers in life were ordered to kill anyone was disrespectful and tried to look at and make eye contact with this sacred being. Wow. So now they still follow that same rule in death. Yeah. I wonder if it's like to the extreme in death. like they take the one thing that they found themselves often doing or like the one thing that was really tough to maybe force yourself to do and then it just kind of fers and becomes this really I don't know cuz it's so it's interesting cuz like their belief that if their lights are brighter especially at the front of the group of marchers it's believed that a goddess or a priestess or the spirit of a sacred

48:00

person that they protected is actually traveling with them. Oh interesting. So, it's almost like they still are these protectors for the sacred people in the afterlife. I'm just so curious now about like Hawaiian historical culture and stuff. Like, when did that sort of shift into when they had queens and and whatnot? Well, there's such an amalgamation of different cultures. And if you've been to a luau, they talk about the different cultures and peoples who came together. And we also talked about Ple and there's so many gods and goddesses that they believe in that I I'm not educated enough on to speak about right now, but like there's an energy and a power that is there that is palpable. Yeah, it does make me wonder like not that I'm ever advising anyone look at them, but I do wonder if some people have gotten away looking at them if the light is dimmer and there's not someone that they're protecting with them. There was one story on Reddit and it's Reddit so you know who knows how real it is but this guy was like my

49:00

family has passed this story down through generations that like my great-grandfather and the whole family was having like a a luau and my great-grandfather was cooking late at night outside prepping for the dinner with his family and apparently a group of night marchers was were passing by and out of fear because he was that close to them he offered offered them the food and was spared. Wow. Because he showed a sign of respect. Yeah. If you're just sitting there augling at them, that's different. Or if you're looking for them. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So, it was their job in life to protect these people. They swore to protect them. And I'm not sure they knew that this was an eternal job, but it appears it is. They will truly rise from old battlegrounds or truly emerge from the depths of sea. Like I feel like pirates of the Caribbean style where they just slowly come out and there will be large groups of them and at first

50:00

glance you'll be like oh is that a human coming out of the ocean and then you'll realize no. Um there's a large number of them and they may chanting. There's battle drums which will make you look twice and then you might notice that they're actually floating. Some versions say that just one foot is in the ground and the others are floating. Some say that despite never really touching the ground, their feet leave footprints in the earth beneath them. And there are really only a few protective methods that you can take to protect yourself if you do see or come across the night marchers. The first is actually nothing you can do except for hope that you're born in a bloodline that has a someone in the ranks of the night marchers because if you do, you are safe. You are protected. Which I think is kind of amazing that they just know. Mhm. Mhm. And it is said that if you do have a relative amongst their ranks and you do see them, you will hear them yell na, which means mine, which basically signals to the rest of the night marchers that this is protected. You are

51:00

one of us. No one can harm you. The relief that someone must feel when they hear that. And what if you didn't even know that you were? I know that would be kind of cool. And there is also a legend that so they mostly appear at night, but they will sometimes appear during the day. And it is said that they appear during the day when they're trying to escort a spirit of like a descendant. Oh, to the afterlife, which I think is beautiful. If you are not related to them, it's fight or flight really. Those are your options. The first option is like you were saying, drop to the ground, lie motionless and face down in the sand or ground wherever you are. Stay quiet and as still as possible, and do not move until you are certain that they are gone. There's one iteration of this where you're supposed to completely disrobe and shed yourself of all your clothing, which one I feel like would draw more attention to you, right? That takes too much time. They could, right? But it's a belief. So, if you do have the time, take your clothes off. Back in 2019, apparently, I had found some article that said you should pee on

52:00

yourself. And I actually found that same reference in an article talking about the photo, which we'll talk about in a minute. But multiple people emailed us saying don't pee yourself. Okay, we'll believe you guys. And I don't know if it was also I think 2019 was like peak me peeing myself by accident that I was trying to normalize it or something. I don't know. But don't article. So you were just what you read. But what if they got it from our podcast? Oh my god. Oh my god. Don't reference us and things or you can I guess. I don't know. But anyway, multiple people have emailed saying don't pee yourself. That's not a thing. And then if you feel like dropping and just sitting there is not the situation to do, you run. Get out of there as fast as possible, run and hide. And then I did find some practices that I hadn't in episode 88. There is a plant that you can plant around your home, like a shrub. It's called TI, cordling fruicosi. It looks like there's there's a photo. Oh, pretty. And it's said to be

53:00

protective against evil spirits. So, I think if you put them around your home, it's supposed to help protect you. It's weird cuz it's like, are they considered evil? That's what I don't I mean, if they're going to kill you, I don't know. And then it's also like if you're in their path, then nothing's going to prevent them from going through it. Just So, could that parking spot I don't think so. I think if you put that there, I mean, maybe it would keep you safe. If they go through, you wouldn't be harmed. Yeah. I don't know. It is also said to not have a home where the front door and back door are in like complete alignment because that helps them. them. It's almost like an entryway for them to just walk straight through. But then again, like the parking spot story, if that's their path, that's their path. Yeah. It's kind of confusing cuz it sounds like they have their go-to designated paths, but sometimes they just take whatever path they want, right? So, it's like, what are you going to do? Just hope you're grilling and you can offer them the food. Yeah. I don't know. But to conclude this recap of the night margers, there are multiple theories as to why they continue to march the land. Some believe that their duty was an

54:00

eternal contract. Others believe that they're looking to reclaim territories they lost in battle. Others think it's a residual haunting. But most locals, and myself included, will dismiss this because when they're around and when you hear them, they feel so present and they interact, so it's not really residual. There is another belief that they're trying to avenge their deaths or that they're looking for the entrance to the next world. They often march on the last four Hawaiian moon phases before the moon goes completely dark, which is also super ominous. Very, it feels like a warning. They have been seen marching in most parts of Hawaii. And in episode 88, we do discuss some of the places the night marchers are most commonly seen and known to visit, but now we're going to go in this episode into some visual representations or evidence of the night marchers. Sorry, I just have to say because you did reference Pirates of the Caribbean and them coming out of the water. I would be so curious if you were like in a submarine or in some shallow

55:00

water in a boat if you would see it because it does sound like if this is one specific group of night marchers and it's not just like many different groups of night marchers that they do travel from island to island. That's interesting. And they if they come out of the sea and people see them marching out of the ocean, then are they marching on the the sea floor? I mean, based on how many encounters there are, I there must be multiple groups of night

nightmarchers live photos

marchers because they seem to be everywhere. And Hawaii, there's so many islands. There's so many little islands. Hawaii's not small and there were like you were referencing like there were many different groups. Yeah. So, the reason I wanted to revisit the night marchers is because of a photo that went pretty viral in 2021 after Radio Rental featured the story and the photo on episode 19. So, if you want to listen to that episode, you can go do that. And thanks to Payne. I actually have the live photos. Oh, the live photos they were sent cuz Payne spoke to her name is Kay and she sent the actual live photos to Payne. So, to those of you who think

56:00

that they're photoshopped, no, they're not. Holy Kay Borllay is a avid runner and not just like a couple marathons runner runner. She's an ultramarathon runner. And so in January of 2019 on the morning of a blood moon, nonetheless, Kay was competing in the Hurt 100mile race, which I love it's called Hurt. It's probably an acronym, but feels happy. It does hurt. It took place in Aahu's Honolulu Malca Trails. It was a grueling 20-m loop that participants had to run five times. Oh, that would No, it's in a park, like in the forest and trails. So, it's treacherous. that has obstacles, thick mud, tree roots, water crossings, cliffs, rocky inclines, and it's hot and apparently night marchers. Kay was running and her pacing partner Cassie was just behind her and occasionally would be taking photos. And I think they probably both, you know, took photos of one another running cuz this is a 100 miles. What else are you going to do? And as you can imagine, there are not a

57:00

ton of people who run 100 mile ultra marathons. And this event specifically, I looked it up, is limited to 135 participants. So that stat alone, like you can imagine on a 20 mile loop, you're not seeing people often. And Kay and Cassie themselves even said that like they were pretty much running by themselves. It was early in the morning. They were not seeing other people. This trail was probably closed for the day for the public. And this run was difficult, but Kay had done many races like this before until things took a turn or her ankle took a turn. And on her second to last lap, so somewhere between 60 and 80 mi, Kay hurt her ankle and she had to leave the race, which was the first time in her entire career running that she had to do this, which she was really upset with. And by it happens, she left the race and she returned home, started her healing process. And a couple days later, Cassie, who was her race pacer, sent along some of the photos that she had on

58:00

her phone from the race. And then as Kay is going through these photos, many of them are live photos. Kay sees something weird. In two or three of the live photos, you can see something emerge seemingly out of nowhere. And thanks to Payne, I have said live photos shared from Kay herself. So, first we're going to look at a couple of the photos and then I took a video of myself playing the live photo and we can look at that. Here's the first photo and these are not live. Here's the second photo. And it like doesn't look like anything's in here, right? There's nothing in the brush. And then you start to see it. Wait, what? Wait, I need to zoom in on this again. It's so confusing cuz it also looks like they're wearing glasses. See, I feel like they're sunken and there's no eyes. Yeah. Yeah. It's also like the sunken cheekbones where like people get the line around their mouth. Here, I'll show you the video now. Like they feel like they come out of nowhere. Wait, I zoom in again. So, this is on the trail. Yeah, it's so confusing because like they didn't see they didn't

59:00

see this person on the trail. How can you miss that person? The trail is so it's so skinny, but then it's like what is happening? Because everyone else can see the night marchers and you're not supposed to look at them, but here it is in a photo, but but they didn't see. And so I'm so confused. And in my mind, I almost don't believe that this is actually a night marcher. I do believe that it's something odd or an entity of some kind. And Kay at the time was like, "This is really weird." Because yeah, like you're saying, the trail is pretty narrow and where this person appears in the photo, Kay and Cassie would have run right past them moments after the photo is taken, right? They would have seen a person and it almost looks like the person is seeing them. Yeah. Like looking towards them. Yes. And so there's a lot of debate with this photo and Kay and Cassie basically like between the two of them are sending this back and forth and they're like, "What the heck? Like is this a person? What is happening?" And then they start researching this trail that the race is

1:00:00

on and they find stories of people seeing, hearing, encounting night marchers. And so they're like, "Is this a night marcher?" Mhm. which then Kay sharing this photo online, people start to pick it up and a lot of people give Kay a lot of and one people are like that is photoshopped. Kay spent a lot of time on Reddit responding to people being like no I promise it's not. It's a live photo. My friend and I both ran right past this place. We did not see anyone or anything. Some people are saying it's a person covered in mud. It seems to appear out of nowhere like which some people argue no it's coming out of the bushes which fine maybe but like they would have seen this person. Yeah. It doesn't matter where they came from or what they could be covered in. Yeah. In the end this is a narrow trail. The person in the picture appears to be looking right in their direction. Especially if they're running. They're going to make contact in just a matter

1:01:00

of a couple seconds. Right. So then there are all these other theories. And I do feel like Hawaii has so many legends and ghost stories that it really, who knows? It could be something other than a night marcher. Either way, even if it's a human, it's terrifying to think that this person was just lurking in the deep Hawaiian trails covered in mud. if that's a real person covered in mud. And it kind of reminds me of the image of the fa woman that we read orgy from the fay orgy story. It's an encounters episode where they experienced what they thought was this beautiful sexual siren of sorts who mesmerized all of them. But then the next morning when they saw her, she looked almost witch-like and had like really dirty garb on. Mhm. I still don't get it cuz like how do you hide yourself again in just a matter of seconds? I don't know. And it's also on the other

1:02:00

side of the brush. It looks like it's a drop off, right? So it's not like oh my gosh, I want to stay hidden. Let me just like pop out jump into the woods or like run into the woods over here. And also they would hear the rustling. I know. And it's on multiple photos. So like as you'll have seen, I played the live and zoomed in and it's not a one time thing. It's caught on three photos and three lives. You can see the series of it moving and then it's got really deep sunken in eyes like almost looks like it doesn't have eyeballs and the cheeks are very gaunt to the point where it looks like it there's glasses cuz there is such a shadow of like the cheekbone and the Exactly. Kay just posited like is this a night marcher because she had seen that there was this lore and legend of night marchers in this area. I'm curious what you all think. I'm also

listener encounters the nightmarchers

curious if you think maybe it has something to do with why Kay hurt her ankle. Like she did encounter them. Yeah. Like she didn't make eye contact,

1:03:00

but she might have ran through one. It's like it's strange. Anyway, we have some more evidence and I'm going to share a story actually from a listener, Tiffany, who sent us an email who said, "I just got done listening to the Buation episode and Sabrina was pretty spot-on with her story about night marchers." And I wanted to read that part because thank you. I'm born and raised in Hawaii and one thing I've never heard of is peeing yourself when you come across the night marchers. Everyone in Hawaii grew up learning you either have to strip naked and lie down facing the ground or just lie down. When I was in elementary school in Maui, I had a classmate that had her story shared in a ghost book of Hawaii. I can't remember the name of the book, but the story was this. Her family had her crib placed in part of the house that was apparently in the way of the night marcher's path. They would hear drumming and every night find the baby, my classmate, moved out of her crib. They learned quickly what was happening and rearranged her room. Which almost makes me think the night marchers purposely moved her out of their path or a spirit moved her out of their path to

1:04:00

protect her night after night. Mhm. Wa. Another story here in Oahu was I was camping with friends and family and us kids wanted to see the night marchers coming down the mountain. It was a rainy night and we waited up way past midnight. And right before we decided to call it a night, we saw a line of fire going down the mountain. We were pretty excited even though it wasn't our first time seeing that. And then one of our uncles came and got us and saw what we were doing and said, "Hey, you guys like to die? Close your eyes and go to sleep." I have a lot of other stories from Hawaii. It's full of history and energy and even stories my family have about living in Samoa and a possession that happened to my aunt. I'll write again soon, but until then, stay spooky and mahalo, Tiffany. This makes me so curious, too. What does happen if you are sleeping in the way of a night marcher? Like, what if you're camping? A lot of people have stories of camping. A lot of people, if you go on Reddit, there are so many threads. Just search night marcher on Reddit and there are tons of threads.

Like going back 9 years, the most recent one I saw was like 6 months ago. People were talking about night marchers and their experiences. But I think similar to with a lot of paranormal things, it's intention based. Like if you were intentionally going out and seeking them and then looking at them and disrespecting them, they'll know. But there are a lot of stories of people like sleeping, camping in tents, hearing the marching like literally right outside and they just lay there paralyzed in fear until the sound goes away. Yeah. Cuz I would be worried about the tent being trampled or like what do

reddit stories and tiktok evp

you feel when they march on top of you? Because if they're crushing cars Yeah. or if you're showing the sign of respect, they'll just go around you. I don't know. Or if you're an innocent baby, they'll remove you. Well, there's another story that I found on Reddit that I'll read briefly, but it reminds me of the protective part. So, this was posted 6 months ago by Dr. Up, and they said, "This happened to me 30 years ago. I was in my 20s. I was home alone sitting on the bed, and I saw dark figures passing by the window. Suddenly, I felt weight push me down on the bed. I

1:06:00

was out of breath. The feeling was so scary. As soon as the shadows passed, my breath returned with a force. I was shook. I talked to my auntie the next day and she told me I was blessed because someone was protecting me by holding me down as the marchers passed by. Yeah. Spirits of Hawaii know the rules of the night marchers. Mhm. Okay. Now, two more potential evidence of the night marchers caught on camera. In 2022, a Tik Tok user called Pokey Pi posted a video from the woods in Aahu of what he believed to be the drumming sounds of the night marchers. And we're going to play that video now. You heard that one? Yeah. Sound like when knock on top one on top one tree. Oh, you heard that too, right? Uh-huh. Okay. We going back. What? It it didn't it kind of sound like

1:07:00

um one of those uh um old drums? Ancient drums? Oh, you Oh, that. You are you serious? That's what I thought it sounded like, bro. Like Duke. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Three doo. Yeah. Well, it's coming from that that coming from all the way up there. All the way up there, right? That's what I heard, too. That's not good, bro. Um, that sound is a little bit like it's more focused on the two of them kind of freaking out hearing it. Yeah. But there is then one friend it's like, "Why are you saying this to me? this. this." But they're in the woods. Like, could you imagine being alone in the wood? So scary. No, I would be myself. Okay. Now, the last photo that I have, I found it was posted on Reddit a year ago by the user Mysterious and Magical. They wrote, "I think I might have captured one on my camera during a ghost tour about 5 years ago. I remember taking about a hundred pictures or so, and I

1:08:00

got home and I went through all of my tour photos and I never saw anything of interest or anything that grabbed my attention right away. I went through these pictures or at least three times. However, I got to one photo in particular on the third time going through and I immediately gasped and got goosebumps. I remember hearing about the night marchers on tour and how they marched prisoners or individuals for sacrifice up to the volcano. How they had painted faces, wore elaborate uniforms. I don't know. All I know is that there was nothing and no one in these photos originally. Now there is. And I can't explain the height of the figure. It almost looks like it's wearing a costume and a crown with huge arms and wrist cuffs and a white rumpled like skirt, which also marching up to a volcano and then them smelling like sulfur. That makes that also makes sense of sense. So, this photo I wish the user had posted the original photo and then the zoomed in version, but this is the zoomed in version of the photo and it's taken like over the back of a shoulder

1:09:00

of someone else who was on the tour. And when you zoom in and you can see like that's like almost the lower part of the arm. And they do look like they're wearing like metal. Yeah. There's a reflectiveness. Yeah. And I'm curious where this was like where they were on the tour. It's also interesting because like you're not supposed to look at them, but then accidental photos like you're looking at the lens of your camera that's looking at them. So I guess maybe that's enough of a block that if you're not actively seeing them when you take the photo. Yeah. And also

nightmarcher conclusions

you're not considered to be disrespectful, I guess. I don't know. Spooky. It is spooky because like you're not consciously and actively choosing to look at them, right? Yeah. They photobombed your photo. You didn't ask them to do that. I think it's safe to say and also I am not in the authority to dictate whether or not this is real but I absolutely believe in the night marchers and I know that people local or raised in Hawaii avidly believe in them and know to respect them and all I know

1:10:00

for certain is do not look for them and do not pee on yourself when you see them. Yep. Good rules right there. Good rules to follow. Dang. Yeah. Okay. Send us all evidence of everything. I want fairies. I want leprechauns. I want mermaids. I want cryptids in the woods. Yeah, ghosts. Everything. Everything. We want it all. We've asked for ghost photos before and people really delivered, which we're going to use more of them in future episodes, but like this should be beyond just your typical ghost. Yeah. Anything that you've captured and send us your Bigfoot calls and we will put a compilation together. I can't wait. It's going to be so fun.
