Over 15 years ago, a retired teacher named Mary and two former co-workers traveled to the Kennecott Mine to fulfill one of her bucket-list adventures. After setting up a remote camp away from the main site, the trio spent the day hiking the steep terrain around the abandoned mine. While taking a lunch break on a high ridge, the male teacher jokingly whistled the Smurf and Sesame Street theme songs. As they hiked back down the trail, they were shocked to hear the Smurf theme perfectly whistled back at them from the ridge they had just left.
Brushing it off as a prank, the group continued into the thicker timber, only to feel a heavy, palpable vibration in the air that made the hair on their arms stand up. The unseen whistler began paralleling them through the dense brush. Suddenly, Mary froze. Just ten feet away, a massive, 9-foot-tall entity was staring down at them from behind a spruce tree. Mary let out a half-scream but was instantly overcome by a bizarre, trance-like sense of calm that washed over the entire group. In silence, the three hikers kept their heads down and continued walking, even as the creature stepped close enough to urinate directly onto the male teacher's pant leg—a foul liquid that oddly produced no odor until it was touched later.
The unseen entity paralleled the terrified hikers all the way back to their camp. Upon arriving, they found the male teacher's tent violently flipped upside down, while the women's belongings had been bizarrely removed and meticulously laid out in the exact same arrangement on the ground outside. Armed with bear spray, the group attempted to confront the creature in a nearby clearing for a photograph. They were instantly met with a horrifying, multi-vocal scream that sounded like a woman being murdered. Retreating to their camp, they discovered the male teacher's tent and several belongings were now entirely gone. As they frantically packed to flee, a second massive scream erupted from just 60 yards behind them, chasing them out of the area.
