His Veins Run Cold When He Realizes Who's Been Haunting The Homestead All Along

we're filming this video on location over a period of several days I'm going to tell you where we are and what's going on so one evening last week it was almost dark not quite we'd put our son to bed it was a school night and my beautiful bride dearly a.k.a giggly growing myself we're actually going to bed very early it was dusk and someone knocked on our door which is odd because that just never happens we live way out in the middle of nowhere we have gates we have security cameras we keep to ourselves so I got a little nervous at first so I reached over to the nightstand opened the drawer and felt around in there grabbed my what we'll call protection okay I grabbed my crayon so I took my crayon and I made my way to the door I opened the door and there stood this little old man hunched over probably 80 years old and he said are you the one they call crazy Lake and I said well sir I reckon I am he goes we got to talk so I stepped out on the porch he sat down without even being invited to do so and we try to make this short which as you know I'm not very good at he goes on to tell me that he lives in an old cabin on top of the mountain this mountain that is several miles away from our place if you take the road but if you walk up the hill as I've been doing this week and you're going to understand why here in a minute it's about three-quarters of a mile now he lives by himself his wife's been dead more than 20 years he's always in the forest cutting firewood he's got his Gardens he grows most of his own food and he said that he has experienced some strange things and it just occurred to him about a week ago that they're very similar to the things we've been experiencing on our homestead and ironically like I said he's only three quarters of a mile away above us so how he came to know about us um what we had going on was that he said is he these are his words he says he had a family of do-gooders from some church who likes to come out about twice a week and bringing provisions he says he doesn't really understand why because he's got money in his basement piled up to the floor and it's so old it's got mold growing on it you guys know the type but he says he likes some he enjoys talking with him gives him somebody to talk to a couple times a week and he tells their teenage children these stories about some of the experiences he has on his property and they cling to every word and he kind of gets a kick out of it and so he doesn't tell him you know he doesn't need need their provisions he takes him happy to see him every two weeks so he said last week when this family came up to bring him stuff he didn't really need because he can afford to buy it himself one of the kids had their gadget as he called it but it was a cell phone and they said look look this is like the stuff you're talking about and they were showing him the videos now of course he recognized our place because his family's been here on the land for six generations that's how he got all that old moldy money I don't think anybody in his family's had to work since too long after the settlement of Jamestown but he said he didn't tell them too much when he watched those videos but he knew in his head that we were having the exact same experiences down here that he's having on top of his mountain so he said look crazy Lake he says I got trees down to everywhere as you can see here and I'll give you another view he says I got red oak I got he's got some Hickory he's got I got the best firewood burning logs all over my place she said and I'm kind of afraid to go up there and cut him because every time I do I feel like these things he called him wood buggers he says I feel like these buggers are just all over me just staring through me and said he's getting older is gonna be hard work anyway he says look if you come up and you bring your little cardboard cutouts and you bring your camera and and he says if you're willing to work on my place for about a week cut up some of this wood he says you take half leave me half see if you can get anything on camera to confirm my suspicions I'd really appreciate it and you have as much wood as you want as long as you only take half so I said all right that's a deal sounds like a win-win to me and so here we go over the over the course of the next several days and I've been over here cutting for several days already as you can see and yes I've had the hair on the back of my neck stand up a few times so we're gonna see what we can get on camera so pay very close attention get ready to put timestamps what you think you see or hear and what you think it is what time in the video you think it is and let's see if we can confirm for this kind old hermit man with all that moldy money in his basement his suspicions hey guys this is day two of filming working up here at the old Hermits homestead up here on top of the mountain about three-quarters of a mile above my place yesterday I recorded the opening scene the introduction but I didn't have any scenes where I was holding up the blue rectangle or the red circle because frankly there were a couple of times where somebody ever here wants some attention well I felt like the hair on the back of my neck was standing up but but as I looked around to see if he she it or they was peering at us from a tree top or from behind some boulders the older gentleman that owns the place would show up just to chat for a bit so I think it was just I I could sense somebody was watching me it was him so we're gonna see if we can get some more footage today timestamp what you think you might see or hear we see any Pickers coming out behind trees or whatnot okay guys so here's what's going on I've got this camera set up the Overlook while I'm gonna be working I'm gonna be down in that ravine getting the wood that I cut up yesterday throwing it up out of the ravine dragging it on the sled to the clearing so that we can pick it up with the tractor I want you to keep your eyes open back here there's a big giant outcropping back oh hey hey the gentleman owns a place just showed up yeah I'm actually getting trying to get some of this on video do you want to say hi no he says he's shy but then you know those people that watch the video that kind of told you about meek and he says he doesn't want to what what's that sure I'm not gonna turn down the second set of hands oh okay well he says he's gonna help me but he doesn't want to be recorded on any he he called it a contraption if oh and well I have this thing I call it well yeah you saw it in one video yeah okay well he doesn't want to be recorded you know so I'm gonna turn this off I'm gonna take advantage of the second set of hands and then sir he must have gone in for water or gloves or something cuz now he's gone okay well I'll record until he gets back I'm gonna go over here and throw stuff up out at the gully so you just keep your eyes open see if you see anything if you do timestamp it [Applause] watch up here guys something really weirds going on here this is day three of this experiment this little project I've got going on here helping this old man that it was about three-quarters of a mile through the woods up here behind me split wood so I was just getting ready to go up to his place I was gonna drive it's a couple miles on the road but just three-quarters of a mile straight up the hill and I came out and I saw him stand at the edge of my woods so I figure well rewind and listen right there I figured he wants to walk up so we'll walk up I came over here he stepped into the woods just as I mean I wasn't ten yards away from the woods myself I stepped into the woods and now he's gone okay I'll record more once I get up there and I get up with him and we start cutting wood you know and I'm gonna we're gonna watch the background see if we hear anything but I gotta find this old guy first and I'm kind of thinking I'm saying or hearing something right up here I don't even have my rectangles and circles with me but I'm detecting well I guess I'll be driving up mm hey I'm that guys I was getting ready to head back to the house get my chainsaw and drive up to his place but something's got me cut something's got me cut off and surrounded something just threw something at me there's something straight back there watch I'm gonna flip the phone and zoom there's something large and brownish-gray back there guys back here my gosh it's looking right at us back here that's not the Hermit what is right there hey guys this is the morning of day 4 up here at the hermit's homestead helping him as you can see cut up a lot of this this wood we cut up an entire well I cut up an entire huge red oak just yesterday there's a few odd things going on that I want to kind of get on recording here number one I have not seen the Hermit since yesterday morning when I saw him at the edge of my woods followed him into the woods and then he just vanished I came back up here that day which is yesterday in work as you could see most of the day and he never showed up so I came up early this morning it's like 6 o'clock right now in the morning and he's not here so I don't know if he went into town I don't know what's going on I'm starting to get a little bit concerned number 2 this is another weird thing as you know if you follow the channel we have a bunch of hands egg-layers we had two hands we called them our cantankerous hands or as they say here in Virginia trifling they would never stay in the pen they fly out whenever they wanted and we just kind of gave up in which we knew their days were numbered because we have a lot of foxes and hawks is where we live and there's one red fox in particular who was just doesn't seem to be afraid of anything he or she would come down and hang out by the chicken pan and roll around on its back and scratch its back and all this so about two weeks ago on Mother's Day this is late May I think yeah this is May so just a week or two ago was Mother's Day we went into town that took my beautiful bride dearly aka giggly girl and our son we got together went into town went to dinner for Mother's Day and we came back in these two hens were dead we just found piles of feathers we you know just put them did the math it had to been the Fox right so this morning about 5:30 in the morning I'm walking around through my front field where we have you know 400 trees or whatever we planted and right in the middle of this man-made force we've created is this Fox and it's dead now I thought about putting it on video but I just don't think that kind of things appropriate I don't think it would violate any YouTube policies or anything like that but there's just you know just because you have the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do so I'm not going to show you the carcass of this beautiful creature and we didn't begrudge it for killing our hands it did what it's designed to do by nature and it has to eat but I have to ask what is it that killed this Fox and why and then now thirdly you see behind me this empty Dorito bag I brought this up here with me yesterday on the mountain when I came up to work in my lunch bucket and I I guess I took him out to eat him I had two sandwiches ham and cheese and mayonnaise and these chips I ate two sandwiches but I didn't eat the chips because I was full I guess I thought I put it back in my lunch bucket or something but obviously I left them well I came up here this morning and I see the empty wrapper two things I want to point out about this and I know what you saw we hear cars you can't be on top of a mountain just over here to my right your left as you're viewing this is a steep drop-off and there's a road way down there and it makes it sound like it's closer than it is but anyway this bag was not ripped open it was open from the top and inside is this a way of saying thank you day for I'm hoping the hermit's going to show up but I got to get to work check back in with you later hey guys this is day five in the final day of this project and it has ended a little bit more strange than I could ever have imagined I'm heading back down off the mountain back to my place so I got up to the old Hermits place this morning and I see this big old black pickup truck and a guy and a girl about my age you know late 40s standing there I get up there and the guy says to me hey you the one to cut up all this wood for us I said yeah he said why sure do you appreciate it I said well you're welcome I said I been up here helping the old guy all week and he said you have and he looked over to the one who turns out as his wife and they kind of chuckled he says he you seen him - did you house well sure I seen him so I haven't seen you in the last few days I said but he came down to the house a couple weeks ago and introduced himself and I left out the whole PVS stuff I didn't want I mean I don't know how much these folks knew but I didn't want get my six well I tell you this story so anyway I said yeah I haven't seen in the last few days told him the last time I saw him was up here a couple days ago down here disappeared into my woods and they laughed and they said alright so what kind of deal is that you made with the old guy and I said well I told him I'd help him cut up this wood he had laying around I'd take half he'd keep half God laughed and he said well he goes you go on and take your half we appreciate you doing the work you've done you can have that that's fair enough I said so are you two the couple from church that come up and keep an eye out on this guy bringing provisions every few weeks guy laughed again he says boy he says let me tell you something that's funny called me boy it's an old southern country thing because we're about the same age he goes we're not we don't go to church he says maybe on Christmas and Easter he says that old man used to live up here it was my great uncle he said we're we're about the last living relatives he had here in this part of the country and we just came up keep an eye on him when he was still living just like we come up every couple weeks keep an eye on the place make sure nobody's hampering around with it now I said still living what are you talking about he smiled he said he's been dead for two years now and I was like you're kidding me right and he laughed he said don't worry you're not the only one that seemed and yeah only ones talked to him the last couple of years he said there's always been strange things going on up here on this land it's been a for centuries we've never been able to explain any of it but we're not surprised to see that it's still going on so he and I work together we moved some of those big rounds we'd cut together and brought him out took him out into his field so I go back and split him and he's up there still splitting today I might go back up for my wood and I might just never go back to that place again so guys it appears as if the old Hermits homestead was haunted but when I found out just from whom or by whom my blood ran cold see you next time for more there at the PBS s the potential Bigfoot Sasquatch show care home staying off the grid
