    We take a look back at an episode from 2021.  Negotiating a good deal can be harder than it looks.  A good deal can be found at Fresh to Frozen, but no negotiating is needed there. When buying things on Craigslist it is important to not show too much of your knowledge because it can be used against you. It is also difficult to get a price down if you have traveled across multiple states to view something.  They know they have got you. Negotiations hinge on a lot of factors, but it always pays to take your shot, at least when it comes to Miley Cyrus.

    That Time Jes Staley Had His Salary Frozen Over Ties To Jeffrey Epstein

    Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, saw roughly £22 million in bonuses and deferred compensation frozen in 2022 as regulators dug into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The freeze included unvested share payouts and long-term incentive plans that Staley had been promised but had not yet received. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) launched their review after concerns emerged over how Staley characterized his personal relationship with Epstein, a man whose reputation was already well-tarnished by his 2008 sex-offense conviction. The decision marked a significant step for Barclays, signaling just how seriously the bank's board and regulators were taking any whiff of reputational risk tied to Epstein.The matter didn't end with the freeze. In 2023, the FCA moved to ban Staley from holding senior positions in the UK financial industry, citing his misleading accounts of the Epstein connection. Alongside the ban, regulators initially proposed a £1.8 million fine, which was later reduced to about £1.1 million. Staley ultimately forfeited around £18 million in bonuses and deferred pay. For a man who had once been a Wall Street heavyweight, it was a public and financial fall from grace that demonstrated the long shadow Epstein's scandal continues to cast over those in his orbit.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/barclays-profit-falls-on-slowdown-in-investment-banking-11645603658Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    Have you ever noticed that some of the parents in Disney movies…aren't exactly the best role models?   They love their kids deeply, but their fears, expectations, and blind spots often get in the way of connection. As I rewatched a few of these classics recently, I couldn't help but think, "These parents could really use the Self-Assured Motherhood program!" In this episode, I'm sharing three SAM principles through the lens of Disney families—because studying cartoon characters makes everything more fun (and surprisingly relatable!):

    Some camping trips are about fresh air and freedom. This one became a brush with the paranormal. She shared a true story of terror from a weekend trip to Mount St. Helens. What was supposed to be an adventurous getaway—hiking, exploring the Ape Caves, and sleeping under the stars—turned into a nightmare that still haunts her years later. With no tent, she and her boyfriend decided to camp in the bed of his truck, covered by a canopy and fitted with an air mattress. The first night seemed harmless enough—until the forest went silent. That's when she heard it: footsteps. Heavy. Slow. Human. Frozen in fear, they listened as the unseen figure circled the truck. They heard breathing. Hands scraped along the metal. Then came the knocking. First soft, then pounding. Finally, the entire truck shook violently as if gripped by something inhuman. Yet when they peered out into the moonlight—there was nothing. No person. No animal. Just silence. But the real horror came with the sunrise. This is more than a creepy camping story. It's a real haunting in the woods, a chilling encounter with a presence that left behind physical proof. Was it a restless spirit tied to the volcanic wilderness? A ghostly remnant of tragedy? Or something darker, lurking where humans don't belong? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #MountStHelens #CampingHorror #ParanormalActivity #HauntedWoods #TrueGhostStory #CreepyEncounters #HandprintsFromHell #HauntedTruck #GhostlyEncounter #ParanormalEvidence #ScaryCampingStory Love real ghost stories?

    What happens when your worst nightmare doesn't stay in your dreams? For Sicily, a Chicago native with a lifelong sensitivity to the paranormal, the strange became terrifying during her stay in a historic New York apartment. The address itself was an omen: 666. At first, her life there was ordinary. She locked the chain, threw the deadbolt, and settled into bed like she always did. But within minutes, everything changed. Sicily heard the unmistakable sound of the chain sliding free, the bolt unlocking, and the heavy creak of her apartment door opening—then closing. Slow, deliberate bootsteps echoed through the loft. Step by step, they climbed the staircase toward her bedroom. Frozen in bed, Sicily's body betrayed her. She couldn't move, scream, or even whisper for help. It felt like sleep paralysis, but this was no dream. She was wide awake. Desperate, Sicily remembered the mantras she had been taught years earlier by psychics who warned her of a dark attachment. She whispered them silently, imagining herself surrounded by white light. And then—just like that—the figure was gone. Was this sleep paralysis, an old attachment finding its way back, or something darker drawn to the infamous address of 666? #666Apartment #SleepParalysisDemon #HauntedApartments #RealGhostStoriesOnline #ShadowPeople #SleepParalysis #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #SupernaturalEncounters #DemonicPresence Love real ghost stories?

    Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, your Fertility Docs unpack the different ways patients can be prepared for frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles—because there's more than one path to pregnancy. From fully programmed cycles to completely natural approaches and modified natural protocols, the docs explain how each option works, what medications may be used, and the pros and cons of each. In a programmed cycle, the endometrium is carefully prepared with estrogen and then progesterone, with timing of the progesterone being critical to ensure the embryo is transferred during the ideal window of implantation. Natural cycles allow the body to take the lead, using ultrasound or ovulation kits to pinpoint ovulation and then timing progesterone and transfer accordingly. Modified natural cycles use letrozole and a trigger shot to encourage follicular growth, followed by progesterone support. While the approaches differ, success rates are similar—and the key takeaway is that there isn't a single “right” way to prepare for FET. The best choice depends on your body, your doctor, and your unique journey. This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility.

    They moved from California to start fresh — a small town in Iowa, a charming house with room for their kids, dogs, and dreams. But the house had other plans. The first red flag? The door slammed and locked her outside on Day One. In her pajamas. No wind, no trick latch — and worse, it kept happening. Always to her. Never anyone else. But that was just the beginning. One morning, as they unpacked and settled in, their dog Ranger began fixating on the basement door, ears perked, tail stiff. Then, from the other side of that door, it began: frantic paws pounding up the stairs, sharp scratching, high-pitched barking — the sounds of a trapped dog begging to be let out. Problem was, all their dogs were upstairs. Frozen in place, they watched the door rattle as Ranger barked back, hair raised. Convinced a stray had somehow gotten inside, they opened the basement door slowly, expecting a small dog to rush out. But there was nothing. Not a sound. Not a shadow. The basement was completely empty. The phantom sounds were so real, even her skeptical husband couldn't explain it away. Over the next four years, more incidents would occur. This would not be their last encounter with the unexplained. Was it a residual haunting? The spirit of a beloved dog long gone?

    SHOW NOTES: Welcome to another great show here on The Money Pit, where we're always here to remind you that you can do it yourself, but you don't have to do it alone! If you're a DIYer, join us for this week's top home improvement tips, including: - Home Improvement ROI: We unveil the top five home improvement projects that deliver the best return on your investment, perfect for boosting equity and impressing buyers. Learn why fall is a great time to start these projects due to cooler weather and more flexible contractor schedules. - DIY Pavestone Fire Pit: Get a step-by-step guide to building a modern square fire pit using Ladera Wall Block from Pavestone. This DIY-friendly project requires no cutting or special caps, making it a perfect weekend upgrade to transform your outdoor space with a rock-solid, heat-safe feature. - Color Trends for 2026: We explore the latest trends in color strategy for 2026, focusing on warm, earthy color palettes like terracotta, ochre, and olive, as well as soft textural neutrals and restorative darks. - Preventing Frozen Pipes: As the fall chill arrives, we offer crucial advice on preventing frozen pipes by disconnecting outdoor hoses, shutting off exterior spigots, and insulating exposed pipes in unheated areas.   Q & A: - Robert from Michigan wonders if an air heat pump would be a more efficient heating solution for his older house with electric baseboard heat. A mini-split system is very efficient, but it's best to set the thermostat and leave it, using baseboard heat only as a backup for extra chilly days. - Mary from Delaware is replacing her 25-year-old shingles and asks about a replacement attic fan versus a ridge vent. We recommend a continuous ridge vent paired with soffit vents instead, since attic fans can pull air-conditioned air from the house into the attic and increase cooling costs. - Thurman from Arkansas has a blank wall and wants to know what's needed to install a new window. While it's a DIY-doable project for a smaller window, we suggest hiring a pro if he's not comfortable with disassembling and reassembling a load-bearing wall. - Steve needs guidance on repairing crumbling grout on his front stoop. We advise chiseling out the old grout and vacuuming loose debris, then using a Type M mortar that's recommended for its strength and applied with a piping bag.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

    How long will that hot dog cost you? According to groundbreaking research from the University of Michigan, about 35 minutes of your life. But don't worry – that PB&J sandwich you love adds 36 minutes back!In this fascinating deep dive, we explore the surprising science behind how specific foods either add to or subtract from your lifespan. The findings challenge many common nutritional assumptions: fruits outperform vegetables (14 minutes added versus just 4), nuts and seeds are nutritional powerhouses (adding a whopping 25 minutes per serving), and even breakfast cereal contributes positively to longevity.What emerges from our conversation is a striking pattern – virtually all the foods that significantly extend life expectancy align perfectly with the Mediterranean diet. From legumes (adding 12 minutes) to seafood (up to 14 minutes) and whole grains, the research validates this eating pattern as genuinely life-extending.We also discuss practical, budget-friendly ways to incorporate these longevity-boosting foods into your everyday meals. Frozen peas, affordable nut butters, and simple bean dishes can dramatically improve your diet's impact on health without breaking the bank or requiring culinary expertise.The takeaway isn't about eliminating every "negative" food from your life – it's about finding balance. As we discover, sometimes the most nutritious options are also the most accessible and delicious. Who knew that your childhood favorite sandwich might be adding hours to your life over time?Ready to make simple changes that could literally extend your life?

    This week's Mixtape Rewind goes to our most downloaded episode of all-time.  Our countdown of bullpen closer entrance songs.The bullpen door swings open, and suddenly the energy in the stadium shifts. A familiar song begins to play, and everyone knows what comes next – the closer is about to take the mound. Baseball's most pressure-packed moments have their own soundtrack, and in this episode, Matt and Samer break down the most iconic entrance songs in baseball closer history.From unexpected choices that became superstition-fueled traditions to deliberately intimidating anthems designed to strike fear into opposing batters, these musical selections reveal the psychology behind baseball's specialized relief pitchers. The episode takes listeners through surprising stories – like Craig Kimbrell adopting "Let It Go" from Frozen after his wife swapped his walk-up music on Women's Day, or John Smoltz strategically using ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to throw off opponents. You'll discover how Kenley Jansen's commitment to geography-based entrance music follows him from team to team, and why Edwin Diaz's entrance set to "Narco" suddenly exploded in popularity.As Matt and Samer approach their top picks, they analyze what makes certain songs particularly effective for the closer role – from instantly recognizable intros to lyrics that perfectly complement the situation. The tolling bells that announced Trevor Hoffman's arrival, the Irish rhythms that energized Fenway Park for Jonathan Papelbon, and of course, the definitive closer anthem that accompanied the greatest reliever of all time, Mariano Rivera.Whether you're a baseball fanatic or just appreciate the perfect marriage of music and sports, this countdown reveals how these carefully chosen songs transform ordinary pitching changes into theatrical moments that energize fans and intimidate opponents.

    When you're ten years old, singing your heart out on a stairwell, the last thing you expect is for something to sing back—especially when you're completely alone. In this chilling true story, Shayla recalls a summer stay with her grandmother at her aunt and uncle's house—a seemingly normal, modern, newly built home in a cookie-cutter suburban neighborhood. Nothing about the place felt haunted. That is, until the day her sister left her alone at the top of the stairs. With her Kindle in hand and her favorite lyric video queued up, Shayla was practicing the popular hit “Hey There Delilah” when she felt a strange unease creep in. She tried brushing it off, but soon moved halfway down the stairs, closer to safety. That's when things took a terrifying turn. Right as she reached the lyric, “Take your breath away,” she heard it. A voice—deep, monstrous, and chillingly close—sang the very same words in her ear. Not through the Kindle. Not from the video. In her ear. The voice harmonized with her... and then her Kindle began to vibrate. Frozen in fear, she screamed, threw the device, and ran to her grandmother and sister in the living room, sobbing and shaking. Her grandmother, trying to make sense of it, suggested it was just a hacker. But Shayla knew better. Hackers don't whisper song lyrics in your ear. Hackers don't shake your soul. The house may have been brand new, but the energy that joined her that day didn't care about property value or modern fixtures. Something was in that house. Something that wanted to be heard. To this day, she can't hear that song without remembering the voice that shouldn't have been there. #HauntedHouse #GhostVoice #ParanormalExperience #KindleHaunting #RealGhostStories #SingingSpirit #ChildhoodHaunting #DisembodiedVoice #StaircaseGhost #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

    Some houses never let go of the energy left behind when a life is cut short. When a listener was just ten years old, their mother moved the family yet again—this time into what looked like the perfect home in a “nicer” neighborhood of Petersburg, Ontario. At first, it seemed like a fresh start. But very quickly, shadows, sounds, and an overwhelming sense of unease made it clear this house had secrets of its own. The basement was finished, open, and bright—yet no one would go down there willingly. Even their fearless mother avoided it except when forced to do laundry. One day, the children saw an opaque white shadow walk directly in front of the fireplace and vanish. Even stranger, the old barn-style laundry room door—heavy and dragging on the carpet—was seen closing by itself, a physical impossibility without human force. Upstairs, footsteps echoed down the hallway from empty rooms, often during after-school homework sessions. The listener would hold their breath, sure an intruder was coming, only to find nothing. Then came the night that has haunted them for twenty-five years. While taking a bath alone, they heard the deafening crash of what sounded like a large man collapsing onto the hardwood floor in their mother's bedroom. Frozen in fear, they locked both bathroom doors and waited until their mother came home. She dismissed it as “something falling,” but the child knew better. Years later, the truth came out: a tenant had died in that very bedroom, collapsing from a fatal heart attack before the family moved in. The “death house” had been offered at a bargain price. Looking back, the listener believes the sound they heard was a terrifying playback of that man's final moments, echoing through the walls of the home. Some hauntings linger not to scare—but to replay a death that the house itself cannot forget. #RealGhostStories #DeathHouse #OntarioHaunting #BasementShadows #FootstepsInTheHall #BathTimeTerror #SpiritEchoes #HauntedHome #ParanormalExperiences #GhostPodcast Love real ghost stories?

    Ian writes "The story I'm sitting down to tell, is a true one. One experienced by a faithful friend of mine, Sam, and I. I'm often reluctant to tell this story at length to most people, as the subject matter is unexplainable and rather strange. I don't want to be viewed as the superstitious nut. But having guided all across the country, and having extensive experience in many environments around the united states, I feel I have the authority to tell this story. Essentially what I'm saying is I've been around, in the deep dark hollows all across North America, and never experienced something so strange as I did that night. I don't fancify my experiences in the woods, nor do I hopefully imagine there's something more to a twig breaking. As anyone who has spent a good deal of time in the woods knows, there's no reason to. Eventually you'll experience something daring or fantastic. I am a hunter first and foremost, and to a hunter there's always an explanation, a reason to the wilderness and her inhabitants. Its how we identify patterns and exploit an animals rhythm to make a successful hunt. As a hunter you're a sort of woodsman detective, piecing together clues to set yourself up for success. Lets just say this tale is a cold-case. Let's get into it. It was early summer and I was itching to go camping. I had recently received a new tent and was eager to use it. I called up my good buddy, Sam, and we planned out our camping adventure. We considered going up to the Grayson highlands, or even south into North Carolina. After debating it, we decided it would be more fun to camp somewhere we wouldn't run into any other people. Deep in the woods, far from anyone else, where we could bushcraft, hoot and holler, and bring a gun without fear of scaring the yuppies camping next to us. While we both lived in the woods, I definitely had access to the most remote stretch of woods between us. So we loaded up our stuff and began hiking, deep into the valley below my childhood home. The hike was almost completely straight down a steep hillside, deep into a a hollow that held a small patch of flat land, a flood plane area and creek. The small creek that ran gave the area a beautiful ambiance. Early signs of summer were visible all around and the weather was great. We hiked until we felt the need to start gathering firewood before nightfall. Behind us a was a steep hillside that rose into the west for miles. In front of us was the creek, and to the left the start of another ridge and hillside that rose high into the east and north. To our right, the valley we were in, continued to go down cutting a deep valley. and on the other side of the creek another ridge, separated by a small stream from the ridge to the left, rose into the west and to the south. These two ridges in front of us ran for miles and the little valley formed by the small creek split these ridges for a long ways up until it hit the spring head. This is important for later in the story. Off to the right, further down the valley, more splits in the ridges are made by little tributaries. We started building camp by clearing the brush and leaves away and constructing a small firepit. I placed a tarp on the ground to separate my tent from the damp earth. Remember this, the tarp extended out roughly a foot on each side of my tent. Sam had a hammock that he planned to sleep in, I've only ever camped in a hammock once, and it didn't go great. But I didn't say anything to him, thinking that maybe he would enjoy it. We gathered a hefty load of firewood, consisting of some reasonably dry stuff. It was shaping up to be a really nice camping trip. I've spoken about the joy of being “out there” on this blog before, so I won't beat a dead horse, but it was really nice to be away from people. Sam and I sat around the fire and shot the shit until the sun went down. Now one of the things Sam and I have always bonded on, has been Bigfoot shows. We're both skeptics, and I would say we hold a similar or the same opinion on the subject. Our interest is less about believing in bigfoot, but rather we just find the subject matter to be nostalgic, silly, and a fun thing to joke about. So, I brought up the idea to Sam, that we begin to “Hunt” Bigfoot. He laughed and thought it was a great idea. So we began doing the antics they do in the “Finding Bigfoot” TV show. We started with the classic, Tree knocks. A “Tree Knock” for those unaware, is when you use a stick to beat on a tree, making a loud knocking sound that echoes through the forest. Supposedly sasquatch communicate this way. We didn't think anything of it at all, as I said before, we didn't really believe, we were just joking around. So we began by knocking on the trees and then stopping and listening for a response. After a few times of doing this we paused, and hearing nothing I began to think of a joke to crack and something else to do. Before I could open my mouth, we heard clear as day, a tree nock far off somewhere on the ridge to the left. I looked at Sam and said, “Dude.” Sam just looked back at me in surprise. I then did some more knocks, and we listened again. Then off in the distance, we heard more knocks in response. Then the other ridge to the right we began hearing knocks. Sam at this point was beginning to get freaked out a little and was perplexed as to what it could be. I at the time, was such a hard skeptic I carried on and insisted that it was a person or a woodpecker. “but who in the world would be out there? deeper in the woods than we are, on private land? What woodpecker makes three loud booming knocks on the tree, that sound exactly like the knocks we make?” Sam voiced his rebuttal. I ignored these arguments and held strong to the fact that there is no Bigfoot. I then insisted that we push the envelope by doing woops and howls, just like they do on TV. Sam was not very enthused by this idea, being the humbler and smarter one of us that night, knowing sometimes there's certain things you don't mess with. But at that time I was full of piss and vinegar, and stubborn as a mule about the fact that Bigfoot, is not real. I also had brought a gun with me, and was certain I could fight off anything we would need to fight off. So we started howling into the woods. It was dark that night, being a new moon, and beyond the firelight you couldn't see a damn thing. We would howl and wait listening for a reply. After a few howls, the excitement of “What was that?” started to fade and my logical, rational, science based, theory of the woodpecker began to appear true. Then, out of the dark distance came one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard. A howl. Not a canine howl, not an owls hoot, but a fucking ape howl. Sam's eyes were as big as back hoe tires, and even I was finding it hard to reason that one. Despite this, I continued my ignorant stubbornness, and threw out another howl. Off to the left ridge it replied to us again, the clearest ape whoop I've ever heard. As if it were recorded by researchers in the Congo. I looked at Sam, myself feeling more curious and excited than anything else, I reiterated, “Duuuude.” Then something truly unexplainable and spooky happened, more whoops and howls began on the ridge to the right and further down the valley. And they weren't random, they had etiquette, as if they were chatting back and forth with each other. The one to the left would howl, the one to the right would whoop and howl, the first would respond, and then the one way down the valley would chime in. Sam was really freaked out now, and began considering if we should leave. I, being a stubborn idiot, claimed it was owls. “Owls?? We were both raised in these hollers, I've heard owls, you're gonna tell me that was an owl? Have you ever in your life heard an owl that sounded like a fucking ape?” Sam argued against my claim. “Well, no, but there's no way bigfoot is real. It has to be a bunch of owls speaking to each other. There's nothing else it could be.” I replied, half laughing in astonishment and disbelief of what was unfolding that night. Sam and I kind of bickered for a minute over it, and then decided the wisest decision was to stop antagonizing whatever it was in the woods miles around us whooping and knocking. It wasn't too long after that, we decided to go to bed. I crawled into my tent, and Sam into his hammock. We left the fire going, and every time the fire died down, the woods came to life. Whether it was paranoia, or paranormal, something was stirring. All around camp we could hear what sounded like things being thrown and footsteps. From time to time we would hear another knock or another howl coming from a new position. Sam would leap out of his hammock and chuck loads of wood onto the fire and make it as big as possible. He would then lay back down to sleep. This repeated about three more times. Each time the fire died, things got spookier and spookier. A few times Sam would say, “Did you hear that?” and every time I would just blame it on possums nearing camp, hoping to find food scraps. Well, about the third time, Sam ran out of firewood. Meaning that this time when the fire died, it died for good, leaving us to the dark void of the Appalachian holler. I vividly remember I had fallen asleep before the fire died, and after it died, there was so much stirring around camp, I began to wake up. I was slowly waking up, thinking I was having some sort of nightmare, when I finally fully sobered, and realized that my dream was pleasant. It was reality that was full of frightening sounds and things that go bump in the night. The woods around us had become loud with unexplainable movement, the movement of multiple large things. The whooping and knocking had stopped, which did not comfort me, with all the new sounds right outside my door. There was maybe a 30 yard perimeter around camp that the sounds did not cross. Then suddenly, an extremely loud crashing began through the twigs, leaves, and branches. It was something large, running full sprint through the woods. Starting maybe 50 yards away, and running straight towards our camp. It grew louder and louder, until the sound of crushing leaves, turned to crinkling tarp. The creature, was standing on the tarp my tent was situated on. I was frozen. Like a child, Frozen in fear, eyes wide open. My heart was pounding out of my chest so hard I thought it would explode. I Then heard high above my tent, not near the ground, not four feet up, but high above my tent, the most terrifying sound I've ever heard. it was the sound of a huff and blow, exactly the way you hear a gorilla do it on TV. Or how the apes in planet of the apes do it. Three forceful huff and blows, then the creature turned around and ran back the way it came, back into the darkness of the night. Sam practically leaped out of his hammock and said, “You had to have heard that!” I replied with, “Yeah lets get the fuck out of here.” I slid a round into the chamber of my 30-30 and crawled out of the tent. We both got busy grabbing only our essentials, and started out of the woods. Using shitty dim flashlights, we made our way up the hill. Frantically looking behind us into the terrible night, and trying to move fast without running. We hiked a long ways and by the time we made it back to the house it was far past midnight. We never did see what it was that charged us, and we never did hear anything else after that. But whatever it was, scared us enough to make us hike out in the dead of night and leave all of our gear there. We returned the next morning in full daylight to gather our things. Looking back, I wish we had surveyed the area for tracks or some clue as to what it was, but at the time we did not want to be down there for any longer than we had to. Having been some years since this happened, I would go down there in a heart beat and not think a thing of it. When I come home, I usually feel a sense of ease in the woods. It feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders knowing there are no cougars or grizzly bears to worry about. For my western outdoorsy folk, familiar with cougar country, reading this and thinking, “I don't feel a weight in the woods.” my reply, would be the question, have you noticed you've been stalked before? Cougars are some of the sneakiest creatures in the animal kingdom, and just because you've never noticed it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I myself have been stalked, I've written about it here previously. It's a feeling that will stick with you, and definitely put you on edge in cougar country for a long time after. I have a colleague who guides western big game in New Mexico, who told me a story once that during a hunt he had a fellow guide spotting for him, and that guide watched a cougar stalk my friend through a grove of trees before giving up. My friend never had the slightest idea he was being stalked. I believe for an avid outdoorsman in cougar country, it is inevitable. And as far as grizzly country, it's a similar feeling but a little different. Most ill bear encounters happen because you surprise the bear in thick woods. I have many friends from my time in Alaska who would share stories of being charged by monster grizzlies from out of no-where. They're just hiking along, and then BOOM! 800 pounds of death is blasting straight towards them. And the consensus is the same amongst them, if you spend enough time out there, it will happen eventually. I luckily was never charged during my time in Alaska, I avoided known bear hang-outs. But the few times I spent time in bear country, I always had this jack in the box anxiety, just waiting for it to happen. What is funny though, is despite that weight being lifted initially, an old feeling always returns. I know it's not some sort of psychological thing having to do with that patch of woods specifically, because I feel it in most places in Appalachia. It's a feeling of being watched, a feeling that something is there, and a feeling of dread. And it amplifies every time you hear some strange crashing in the woods or a sound you cannot explain. Most of the times I've experienced this, I've had a gun. And I think to myself, “Come on man! You're the most badass thing out here.” Yet I can never shake that anxiety. My brother, without having ever heard this story, reluctantly asked me over the phone one day, “don't think I'm crazy but, have you ever felt creeped out in the woods below the house? I don't know what it is, but every time I go down there I feel like I'm being watched, and I get filled with dread.” Hearing him say that sent shivers down my back. Simply because I always dismissed this feeling, I've swept this story under the rug for years, telling myself it was just a bear etc. To hear my brother, who is a marine, tell me that, certified to me that I was not simply being a pussy. I've only ever felt this in two regions of the country. Appalachia, and the Redwood Forests of Northern California. Now some of you may be reading this thinking that I am a nut-job Bigfoot believer. I've been reluctant to share this story for that reason. But I want to end this, saying, I have no idea what it was that made those calls that night. I also have no idea what it was that busted into our camp. We never did lay our eyes on anything. But I want to re-iterate that the story, is true. Verbatim to how it happened as I can recall it, without any embellishment. I have no idea what it was, and you can make your own decision as to what you think it was. But being an experienced woodsman, never have I ever experienced something like that since, and I have no worldly explanation for it. Those were the events that transpired that night, and I'll let you make of that what you will.”   Here is a link to Ian's blog
