SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Spook-Around Mountain Lion Talk
By Alice B. Clagett

Alice makes clicking sounds. A Raven flies into a tree.

Alice to Readers: There is a Raven over here. It landed in this tree a minute ago. And it made a sound a little like the clicks I just made, only very, very fast. And I asked the Raven what it meant, because it had made that fast clicking sound a few times.

Caption: A Mountain Lion spoke up in response to my question to the Raven.

And I asked the Mountain Lion what it meant, because it made that sound a few times.

The Mountain Lion said: It means “I’m here, but don’t want anybody else to know … just the Raven.”

So I figured that very fast clicking sound … as fast as the sound of paper shuffling … is Raven language for “Shhhh. Be quiet! Shhhh. I’m here!” Cool, huh?

The Raven told me that over this-a-way [pans to viewer’s right] there is a Mountain Lion stalking. I had already heard it. That same Mountain Lion … it is an older Mountain Lion … had told me that its daughter is over this- way [pans to viewer’s left] waiting for somebody to go by.

I was going to go up the hill but the Mountain Lion … I could not see it. It is so amazing. I am such a poor person for seeing stalking animals. But I can hear them on the telepathic plane. And I could tell that this Mountain Lion was following me with its eyes, and that it was about to follow me up to that point where there is a bench overlooking the Pacific Ocean and people can stop there. The idea the Mountain Lion had was that it could grab me there and pull me down the hill, and nobody would know.

So that put me on guard. It sounded like a mature Mountain Lion. Almost like a male Mountain Lion over that way [nods towards the viewer’s right]. It was a deep, hoarse voice. It seemed that it was tracking me with its eyes preparatory to going up the hill to the place where the bench was.

Then I saw two ladies behind me, who were heading up that way. So I waited until they were abreast of me, and then I decided this was just too much for me.

I have a concern that I might be eaten. I don’t want to be eaten at all … which I have already explained to the Mountain Lion. But I don’t think it cares at all. It understands I don’t want to be eaten, but when it’s ready to eat, it’s ready to eat. [Laughs.]

This is daunting … so I am heading back again. I have been doing this all year long I have been concerned about the Mountain Lions. I did ask a naturalist, on the telepathic plane, how it is going with searching for the remains of people in those places where I predicted it would be discovered that the people were killed by the Mountain Lions. The Ranger said … [You cannot take this too literally until you check the facts in the third dimension (i.e., by telephone or email or online)] … they had found the remains of five people up there at that place high on the mountain above the Pacific Ocean. That was at the intersection of Ray Miller Trail with Overlook Trail north by northeast of La Jolla Canyon Campground.

He said that what happened was the Mother Mountain Lions had their cubs as usual, but that more of the cubs survived this year, maybe because of the great rains.

I cannot see any Mountain Lions. But I asked this Mother Mountain on this trail where I am walking now whether she had made any kills down here. And she said … this year, I presume … she had caught one school child.

And I said: Was the school child walking alone?

And she said: No. With other school children. And they ran away really fast.

Alice to Readers: Who knows! I just do not know if this is true. It is enough to set a person on edge, all this Mountain Lion stuff.

[Alice hears something, then looks around. It sounds like a Scrub Jay that is far away.]

Alice says to herself: Nope. No Mountain Lions.

Alice to Scrub Jay: What? What was that? What did you say, Mother Scrub Jay? What? What? Mountain Lion? There?

Scrub Jay’s voice is heard far away.

Alice to Readers, explaining what the Scrub Jay said: Not right now.

Alice to Scrub Jay, repeating its message: Not right now.

Alice to Readers: I will show you where the Mountain Lion is not right now. [Zooms to oak grove on the horizon.] The Scrub Jay is right up there. And Scrub Jay says Mountain lion …

Scrub Jay to Alice: Not right now.

Alice to Readers: Not right now. Not here right now.

Alice to Scrub Jay: Run faster? Me? What’s so funny?! What? Not a Scrub Jay? What?!

Scrub Jay to Alice: Scrub Jay!

Alice to Scrub Jay: Scrub Jay?

Alice to Readers: This is a difficult conversation. I am trying to learn Scrub Jay, but I am not so good at it yet. You will have to excuse me.

[View of trail from Charmlee Wilderness Park parking lot to Pacific Ocean]

Alice to Readers: I was talking to that Mother Mountain Lion that was over there by the oak grove at the top of the hill [pans to the viewers’ right]. The Pacific Ocean is over that way [pans left to hill line and horizon] … over that hill. The school child was apparently caught right round here [zooms to center of trail].

I asked the Mother Mountain Lion where it left the body of the child. And I heard from over here [pans to viewers’ left] … I think it was the Mountain Lion’s children talking from over this-a-way, and from farther away down the hill that ends at the ocean.

The Mother Mountain Lion’s children said: Scattered that body all around.

I said: Why?

They said: But soon it was all gone away.

I said: Why did you scatter it?

Replying as if they were the Mother Mountain Lion, they said: Hiding pieces here and there.

Alice to Readers: That is the MO [modus operandi] over here, I guess, because the land is so open, and it is hard to drag things into the chaparral. There is not much chaparral here.

I guess from that, that Mountain Lions are right bright, and that they develop their own hunting strategies in various locations … and that they also develop their own ways of concealing the felled prey.

I have been hearing quite a few Mountain Lion stories. I just thought that, before I leave the area, I should check on those two women who were walking past the bench that overlooks the Blue Pacific. It looks like they took the loop trail down from that overlook, into an area that is relatively uninhabited.

So I called over that way, past the hill that meets the skyline. On the other side of the hill there is a plateau of land, and then a steep descent towards the Pacific Ocean. Then there are houses down there.

That lip of wildland down to where the houses are is apparently the place to which the Mother Mountain Lion’s cubs migrated to. Really they need to be taken to Ventura County, where there is more open land, I feel. At least they would have a chance there … because the new season of baby Mountain Lions is coming up.

Anyway, I heard those two ladies. They said they were fine, but that they had had a near escape over on the other side of the mountain there. Not a Mountain Lion, but a Bobcat had tracked them for a while. So apparently there is also a Bobcat population that is also mushrooming out here at Charmlee Wilderness Park.

Then I heard a man’s voice. He said: If anything tracks you out here, the thing to do is to come on back to the trailhead … with which I heartily agree.

Then I remembered that, on a prior visit to Charmless I had heard the most outrageous yowling sound from this bush down here. [Zooms to a stout chaparral bush to the left of the center of the rail as you face the Ocean.] Here it is … this bush! It is prominent when you walk down this path, that bush over there is prominent … a standout.

I had heard these crazy yowls coming from it. I thought: What could that be? Then later I went home and looked up on youtube the different kinds of predators that are out this way. [More on that shortly.]

I got back to the main parking lot of Charmlee, and I was just sitting here next to the picnic benches and the restroom.

I was eating my lunch. And I kept hearing a voice. It sounded like a male, younger voice. For a while I mistook it for a human being. It was only a telepathic voice.

Then I got to thinking that humans rarely contact me on the telepathic plane and just keep on talking, out in the wilderness … and I realized it was one of the young male Mountain Lions, following me so close to the facilities and the restrooms here, and the picnic tables over there. It just does not make much sense.

I got up, and I was going to leave. Then I heard the Mother Mountain Lion chip in. She was farther up the hill up here.

[Shows steps from picnic area to restroom.] See, there is the restroom up there. And then there is a fire trail that goes past the ranger station and the nature center, and up the hill.

Turning left at the top of the hill, the fire road goes on along the ridge line to the water tower up there. There is a fork in the path in front of the water tower. To the right, Potrero road goes down past the water tower. To the left, a trail goes on down from the ridge to the main trail.

Anyway, earlier in the month I had sensed something waiting in the underbrush up there as I approached the water tower. Because of that, I thought I would not go back up there that way. Then today I heard the telepathic sound of the Mother Mountain Lion coming down from that direction.

The young male Mountain Lion seems to be lingering right close to where I am sitting right now. So I asked it if they had ever caught any people here close to the parking lot. It said that they had chased them, but that the people called out, and that other people came to help them. And so they could not catch them here.

I noticed just now that all the people have gone away but me. [Uneasy laugh.] So I am thinking it might be time to leave.

One other thing: I did the research online on youtube about the sound of a Bobcat roar. It sounds like this: ROAR! Honestly! … and then the sound of a Mountain Lion roar, which sounds puny by comparison. It really sounds like it comes from a much smaller animal.

When I heard the strange roar coming from that sumac bush down the hill out in the field priorly, I could not figure out what it was. But when I saw the videos online I found out. It did not sound like “ROAR” so it must have been a Mountain Lion that was upset that people were going by. Could it have been protecting a portion of felled prey there?

So there are Mountain Lions here. In fact, the young Mountain Lion averred just now that there are five Mountain Lions in this area. That is quite a few Mountain Lions really. I wonder what will happen next year? Will there still be quite a few Mountain Lions? Is that not an interesting question?

I think I am going to start working out at an exercise facility instead of going out to the wilderness parks. Or maybe I will go down to the beach for a beach walk. At the beach all you see are Roadrunners, flowers, and surf. You do not see Mountain Lions!

So here I am in my car in the parking lot. I was just drinking my coffee … safely, I presumed … getting ready to leave. Then on the telepathic plane I heard that young male Mountain Lion over there [nods towards the restrooms].

Some hikers came up. They had a young dog on a leash. The dog started barking. I thought: Oh no, I hope there is not a Mountain Lion encounter! Then the dog got in the hikers’ car.

I looked up at my sunroof. I had it only four inches open. I thought: I wonder if that is safe from the Mountain Lion.

Then I heard the male Mountain Lion say: That’s what I tried the other day.

I said: What happened?

It said: The man was in the car, and I jumped on the roof, and I reached down with my claw and tried to get him.

Alice to Readers: Well, I’m figuring, this can’t be possible. This is just a Halloween joke.

The Mountain Lion said: No, it’s not a Halloween joke.

Alice to Readers: I have to figure somebody else is pranking around with me on the astral plane. I just cannot believe this. This cannot be true! So please take it ‘with a grain of salt’.

I said to the Mountain Lion: You could not get to the person anyway, because they were in the car.

The Mountain Lion said: I figured he’d get out.

Alice to Readers: I don’t believe it. I really don’t believe it. I hope nobody outside the car hears this.

[Waves to a man passing by.] Hi!

Alice to Readers: There was a man just over there. He approached me. He said he was looking for a bride and groom. Maybe he is the photographer. I sure hope he finds them before the Mountain Lion does.

[Starts car.] Well, Happy Halloween, everyone!

Alice to Readers: That’s all for now.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

The Songbirds do circles in the air. Then they try to teach me Songbird lingo. Then they try to teach the Scrub Jays to say ‘I love you too.’ I like Songbirds very much.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

We Do Circles in the Air!
By Alice B. Clagett

Two Birds just flew over. They looked like Songbirds. They were a flying duet. And they did kind of circles, kind of curvy, following each other acrobatics in the air.

And I said: Wow, look at you two! Aren’t you good fliers!

And they said: We do circles in the air!

Alice to Readers: Cool, huh?

Alice to Songbirds: We do circles in the air! Way cool! Wow, coolest thing anywhere!

Alice to Readers: The same Birds are talking very softly. Can you hear them?

Songbird to Alice: We are very very EXPERIENCED … EXPERIENCED … Yep, We are REAL EXPERIENCED.

Alice to Songbirds (repeating, so they will know I understand them): We are EXPERIENCED at stuff like that.

Songbird to Alice: Yep, We are. THANK you!

Alice to Songbirds (repeating): Yes, You are experienced very good? Very good.

Alice: Uh oh!

Alice to Readers: A Bird behind me calls out in a rasping voice.

Songbird: Dear me! Where is that Strange Big Birdbehind me? I see two or three over behind her.

Alice to Strange Big Bird: What’s that? Hawk? Is it Hawk? … Hawk? … Hawk?

Alice to Readers: There is that rasping Bird cry again.

Alice to Strange Big Bird: Hawk?

Songbird to Alice: Yes, We hear it too.

Alice to Strange Big Bird: Hawk are you? What is that? Who are you?

Strange Big Bird to Alice (in a rasping voice): We’re NOT FROM here. We’re from somewhere else.

Scrub Jay (?): Stop that! Stop that! Stop that!

Alice to Strange Big Bird: Are you in the woods?

Alice to herself: Jays! Scrub jays? Are you Scrub Jays?

Strange Big Bird to Alice (in a rasping voice): We’re not Scrub Jays. We’re something else.

Alice to Strange Big Bird: I love you!

Strange Big Bird to Alice (in a rasping voice): I love you too.

Scrub Jay (?) in a rasping voice: We-e-e-e love her too.

Scrub Jay (?) in a rasping voice: We-e-e-e …

Songbird (helping out): … love her very very much.

Scrub Jay (?) in a rasping voice: We-e-e-e …

Alice to Songbird that is flying away: Wow, Look at you!

Songbird (helping out): She wants you to say …

Alice to Songbird that is flying away: Wow!

Songbird (helping out): … love her very very much.

Alice to Readers: And they’re off [have flown away].

Scrub Jay to Alice (in a dry, rasping voice): Jay! What? … What? … What?

Alice to herself: They [the Scrub Jays] don’t say ANY-thing.

Alice to Readers: Scrub Jay is saying, ‘What?’ as Songbirds continue to explain how to say, ‘I love you’ when someone says the same to the Scrub Jays.

I can barely hear the Songbirds talking very softly.

One Songbird says: Predator Birds can’t hear you or speak.

Alice to Songbirds: Who said that … ‘Predator Birds do not say anything’?

Coyote (in a sussurating, menacing, undertone, using a sinister, measured cadence and flat intonation): Bumpety bump bump in the night.

Songbird to Alice: It REALLY is true. Predator Birds do not say anything.

Alice to Readers: I looked the diet of Scrub Jays up. Besides insects, fruit, nuts, and seeds, they also eat small Lizards and Baby Birds. I expect it is the latter to which the Songbird is referring when it calls the Scrub Jay a Predator Bird.

Eerie Distant Voice: He IS the Campground Leader.

Alice to Eerie Distant Voice: You are the Campground Leader here? Are you Human?

Two voices speak at once. One voice sounds like the Wind chuckling: No-o-o-o, He is not Human, but he does not want you to know who he is.

The other voice, speaking at the same time is hushed and whining: No, I’m not a Human Being. I’m the Owl.

Songbird to Alice: No, We are the Songbirds.

[Alice to Readers: I get the Songbirds may not be able to hear these sinister low voices. Whether or not that is all for the best is up for debate.]

Alice to Hushed, Whining Voice: You’re the Campground Leader? … Campground Leader?

Hushed, Whining Voice: Yes, I AM the Campground Leader.

Voice on the Wind: Yes, He is the Campground Leader. That’s what he is.

Songbird (unnerved): We are the Songbirds! … Songbirds! … Songbirds!

Alice to Hushed, Whining Voice: Well, What are you?

Voice on the Wind: Don’t get distracted by the Songbirds.

Songbird to Alice: We are the … REALLY LISTEN … just the Songbirds!

Voice on the Wind to the Songbirds: No, She DOES-n’t listen.

Alice to Readers: This deciphering of dialect is hard for me to do because the Songbirds’ hearing is so much more acute than my own.

Alice to Hushed, Whining Voice: Oh, are you there?

Songbird to Alice (confused): No!

Alice to Songbird: Not anybody I know … Right?

Songbird to Alice (whistling the first words to get my attention: WE-E-E-E AR-R-RE the Songbirds!

Hushed Voice to Alice: You could say ‘the mystery deepens’.

Alice to Readers (taking the hint): The mystery deepens. Definitely.

Scrub Jay to Alice: Right, the mystery deepens.

Voice on the Wind to Alice: No, It doesn’t.

Alice to Readers: Who IS that Campground Leader?

Voice on the Wind to Alice: It was the Owl, I think.

Alice to Readers: Is that a telepathing Human who wants to be in disguise?

[It turns out Owl is the Hushed, Whining Voice. The Voice on the Wind is still unidentified. Could it be a Coyote?]

Songbird to Alice (whistling the first words to get my attention: WE-E-E-E AR-R-RE the Songbirds!

Alice to Readers: Am I ever hard of hearing! Between me and the Scrub Jays, the Songbirds are having one ONEROUS teaching session!

Alice to Readers: Is that [the Hushed, Whining Voice] some other kind of animal? Or is it a Nature Spirit?

Voice on the Wind (wondering): What IS a nature spirit?

Alice to Hushed Voice: Nobody’s saying it. I want to know! Who are you?

Songbird to Alice: Tee hee hee! We are the Songbirds. Yep!

Alice to Hushed Voice: Who are You?

Songbird to Alice (embarrassed, muted): We are the Songbirds.

Alice to Readers: Don’t know!

Conclusion

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
