Spoke to Dave who is a member of the Quinault Nation. He has agreed to come on the show and share his encounters with the Ciatko (See-ott-co), which roughly translates Stick Indians and Night People.
Dave writes “I am a member of the Quinault nation. I’ve been a fan of your show for years, and I have had multiple encounters with the Ciatko. (See-ott-co) as we call him in my native dialect. Some of which were visual sightings. The others were growls and whistle encounters.
I fished graveyards on the lower Quinault river and nights on the river are scary when the big guy is around. One week in particular there was a lot of activity. The strange lights were witnessed by my whole village a couple times. I never saw him when we saw the lights though.
Anyways one week the fishing was good, and we were catching a lot of fish. We were fishing one night and it got dead silent and you could hear a pin drop. Out of the eerie quiet a rock hit near my net. My late friend Bradley said “nice we have fish hitting “ I said “no brother that part of the net is rolled up!”
As I finished saying that the brush came alive and we seen a huge Rick come flying towards my boat from the hillside. We immediately knew what it was. Next we heard what I can only destiny e as a growl. It sounded very sinister but it at the same time gave me the feeling he wanted something. So we gave him a fish. By gave I mean we left it there and got out of there.
There were a series of events in the days prior that led up to this and there were events after that led to a sighting g by multiple individuals including myself! This guy was white or grey. I’d love to talk to you about the whole account and my other encounters in the coastal rainforest of my tribe.
I’d love to discuss what my beliefs are with you.”
