The Minnesota winters just they took a toll on you and I you know working outside all the time was also rough so in the weekends Saturday and Sundays I took up ice fishing and I actually found it really enjoyed it.

I had found this lake kind of right on the edge of this marsh there's a lot of marsh in northern Minnesota a lot of peep box and marsh and I found this little lake right on the edge where I knew no one could get to outside of the winter when everything was frozen over.

I drilled a hole through the ice and I mean it just pristine I mean just wilderness there's nothing as far as you can see out to the west at the edge of the lake there were these reeds that kind of surrounded the whole lake there you know six seven feet high and then beyond that it was just marshland.

I look over to the other side of the lake and I notice it was the craziest thing it was like this.

Head and shoulders kind of lifted up above the reeds.

It could remind me what it would look like if like you did a puppet show and you stuck a puppet up above a curtain it just kind of rose up like that slowly and it just stood there it was just a head and shoulders.

You know at the time I remember thinking that someone had was must be standing on a snowmobile behind the reeds in this huge winter suit.

The figure was incredibly dark almost black and it was a head and then these big shoulders there was no like there's no neck or and you can see part of the chest too.

There must be a guy on a snowmobile standing up to get up above the reeds in this huge winter black suit.

And so I'm kind of looking at it trying to kind of make sense of it and it just it just shrinks back down the the head and shoulders go back down it disappears.

A few minutes later two of them pop up the same one as before and another one about the same size maybe a little bit smaller and they both sit up and they just watch me and at that point I'm thinking there's got to be some weird maybe like there's a drug deal going on middle of nowhere and this crazy hooded snowmobiliers are having a party back behind the reeds.

I mean my brain was kind of doing that scramble trying to process what I was looking at.

It looked like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind. It either heard me or smelt me and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up and that shocked me.

They don't make people that big.

The way it moved almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything moves like that in my life.

They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language and they were chuntering away back and forth back and forth back and forth.

I know what a bear looks like and there is no way on this planet that what I saw was theirs.

Everyone, why do you are putting it?

Jesus Christ, you better share it.

Hello.

What's going on downstairs?
