00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.879
Welcome to Big for Society. Members
will be hearing a special episode today about

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:10.279
an individual Gene, who has been
researching Bigfoot doc Man in a special undisclosed

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.919
place in New York State for the
last ten years plus. If you're on

4
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.760
the public feed, you'll be here
in a ten minute teaser and if you'd

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.679
like to hear the whole thing,
you can become a member over at patreon

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.440
dot com forward slash the Bigfoot Society, or become a YouTube channel member by

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.280
joining the Bigfoot Passe Tier. The
best place to join though, is over

8
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.480
on Patreon, as there's some stuff
I can put over there that I can't

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.920
put up on YouTube because they just
don't play nice with it. So enjoy

10
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.439
and let's get on with the show
real quick. Before we get started,

11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.719
a few people have supported Big for
Society one time by buying me a coffee.

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.679
I really appreciate that we've got Carol
b botta coffees. She said,

13
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.039
good show today, thanks, and
Nick G. Bought a coffee. Love

14
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.320
the show, keep up the great
work. Appreciate that in both of you.

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.560
Buy me a coffee is an easy
way to support the podcast one time

16
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.159
if you don't want to get into
community like the Patreon, but you can

17
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.400
just send a coffee over and it
helps during the travel season or any season

18
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.159
of the year with Big for Society. So again, thank you to Nick

19
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.799
and Carol. I appreciate you both, and now let's really get on with

20
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.840
the show. All right, Big
for Society. I've got the privilege of

21
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:23.239
talking to Gene tonight. Gene is
an observer of some things from New York

22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.120
State, is how he puts it. I've been looking forward to talking to

23
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.519
Jane tonight. So Gene, how
are you doing, sir. I'm doing

24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.359
fine, Jeremiah, So how are
things out there in New York State for

25
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.079
you? Oh? The very hot
these last couple of days, dangerously hot

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.560
from what I've seen. I mean, you're up in the hundreds, right

27
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.599
close to it, close to it, like ninety seven. I think,

28
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.040
oh my goodness. Well, we're
a little bit less than that out here

29
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.560
in Iowa. But you know,
Gene, we're gonna have more of a

30
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.959
converse and this one we talked about
in the pre interview, and so I'm

31
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.120
really curious. You've observed some things
over the years, and you've really put

32
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.360
down a lot of interesting stuff in
our show notes for this, But what

33
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.960
kind of started leading you down this
road when you started noticing things that are

34
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.919
out of the ordinary. My oldest
son had a friend over for the weekend

35
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.840
and my wife was driving him home, and on the way, since the

36
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.240
kid doesn't really talk too much,
my wife said, oh, you see

37
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.719
that street there, there was something
that happened there, the citing of something

38
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.560
years ago, and he looked at
her and he said, you know,

39
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.479
they're real. So I piqued their
interest. So she told me about that,

40
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.159
and I know the kid's father,
so I investigated what they told me,

41
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:02.719
and that started me interested. I
always thought though before that, I

42
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:09.520
believe in you know, all the
whatever they say is existing out in the

43
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.840
Northwest. That's why I thought this
stuff happened. I didn't think it happened

44
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:23.560
in New York. So I put
trail cams out in this area and I

45
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.919
think six months or so, and
I really got nothing at all, and

46
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.479
it's kind of frustrating. But I
went on a map and I expanded the

47
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.360
area and I said, you know
what, this would be a good place

48
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.919
to look too, which was about
only a mile away as the crow flies.

49
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.000
So I went there on a January
eighth, I think it was back

50
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:53.360
in twenty fourteen maybe, and I
just hiked and something was telling me.

51
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:00.599
People may laugh at this, but
people just not people. But something in

52
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.800
my head was telling me to take
certain trails because there was trails all over

53
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.639
the place. So I just followed
what they said, whoever was talking to

54
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.080
me, and I walked down this
one trail and had an Indian name,

55
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:24.240
just to mention that. I walked
probably three quarters of a mile and I

56
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:30.120
came to a little knoll where the
sun came through the trees and saw I

57
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.439
could see where it melted the snow
and then it refroze. And right at

58
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:43.839
that place there there was a seventeen
inch footprint and I stopped short and I

59
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.079
couldn't believe what I saw. And
I found another one next to it,

60
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:55.160
not in a different footprint, and
I had a professional tracker checked the pictures

61
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.360
out, and they said, you
got some creature walking around up there in

62
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.480
January, or Shaquille O'Neals up there. So that started me going up to

63
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:11.160
this place, you know, for
ten years now and since then I found

64
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:18.759
I found many footprints, foot trails, footprint trails, UH sightings, UH,

65
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:27.120
trail cam uh, compelling stuff on
the trail cam. Not not a

66
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:34.040
visible figure because they would get really
close to the trail camp and would wipe

67
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.360
the whole picture out. But I
could see the shape of whatever it was,

68
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.759
and it, whatever it was,
it was a human. So that's

69
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.639
that's what I've been doing for the
least ten years. And I've been keeping

70
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:57.480
it quiet and slowly building and building
and building, and once I had sightings,

71
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.560
as I said, maybe I get
this out there that people know because

72
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.439
whatever it is, it needs to
be protected. Now I'm not saying what

73
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:13.480
it is, but there's something there
and it's awfully odd looking. Gene,

74
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.000
I got some questions for you.
This is incredible. Sure it sounds like

75
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.959
we're talking about a creature that could
be thought of as Bigfoot? Is that

76
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.879
correct? It could be? Yes? Okay. Now, New York State

77
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.000
is a big state. There's many
different regions, some of which are really

78
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.279
known for Bigfoot. Are you able
to help give us a picture of maybe

79
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.240
what type of region we're looking at
when we talk about New York City.

80
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.040
I can tell you it's in southern
New York. Okay. I know most

81
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.360
of them are reported in like Whitehall
area, but this is far from there.

82
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.959
Most people when I talked to we're
talking about maybe the Adirondacks, we're

83
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.480
talking about Whitehall. We also could
be talking about western New York. To

84
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:09.040
some people, you're saying Southern New
York, southern interesting. Okay, I

85
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.439
got to tell you too. Besides
what you would some people call it bigfoot.

86
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.000
I'm not going to say what it
is because I get too much ridicule

87
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:23.000
when I say that there is something
else there and there is more of the

88
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.439
other type there than there are.
If it's bigfoot, I don't know,

89
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:32.439
but there's more of the other type, the other type. Some people came

90
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.920
dog man. I don't know what
they are, but I've show them some

91
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:44.079
pictures to people and they can see
it. Other people never going to see

92
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.279
it. I showed them clear pictures
of stuff. They're never going to see

93
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.040
it. They're going to say,
oh, somebody in the costume or so.

94
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:56.000
I gave up on that. But
other people have called it, Oh,

95
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.720
that's just paradolia. You know.
That's the easy answer. And my

96
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.160
my answer to that is when you
have fifty pictures and literally fifty pictures of

97
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.879
the same shape, it can't be
paradolia. I can see one or two,

98
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.360
but not fifty. That is that. So you're seeing a shape that

99
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.319
looks like I'm going to guess some
kind of dog head. Yeah, they're

100
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:30.079
juvenile. Whatever they are. I
see the adults are. You don't see

101
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.120
them very often. I have seen
them, but not very often. I

102
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.440
see the juveniles all the time.
They think they're good hiders. But I

103
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.039
got there, I got the number. Now you've got them, you've got

104
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.360
them dialed in. Now. There's
multiple spots around the United States. One

105
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.039
of which I can talk about by
name is LBL in Kentucky, where you've

106
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.759
got bigfoot in one area, you've
got dog man in the other. Sometimes

107
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.360
are mixed. There's some other areas
I can't talk about by name. But

108
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.480
you think that you've got this type
of area going on where there might be

109
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.679
a group of bigfoot and a group
of dog man perhaps, Well, my

110
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.919
theory is they're either whatever they are, they're either related or they've learned to

111
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.039
coexist, because I've seen them,
both of them, both types in the

112
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:33.279
same picture. Have you seen anything
outside of a picture at all? Oh?

113
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:41.120
Yeah, yeah, four in person
sightings I've had. I've had maybe

114
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:48.679
fifty or one hundred of sightings in
photographs that I didn't see on the day,

115
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:54.399
but when I examine my pictures later
on, I could see them.

116
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:01.120
They're so well camoufaged. But four
sightings in per and when I was thirty

117
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.759
feet away from it, Oh wow, And I think you know, I

118
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.000
would say, I'm speaking about the
group where I go. I think they're

119
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.320
benign. I've been up there day
and night by myself. Never bothered me.

120
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.240
They even left the food for you
one time. So they left food

121
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.279
for you? They did they leave
food for them? What did they leave

122
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:33.279
for you? They left me a
freshly killed mole in a torrential downpour,

123
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.840
and oddly enough, it had a
green leaf underneath it, like like a

124
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:45.960
garnish like Japanese restaurant. This this
might be a weird question, But how

125
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.200
was it killed? I have no
idea. Sometimes you could tell me that

126
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.679
the neck was broken or the body
was kind of twisted. Just curious if

127
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.600
that was no this thing was intact. It was intact. I'm assuming that

128
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.799
it was squeeze the death. Please

00:12:41.840 --> 00:13:35.159
listening. Her and I can get
on here. We can tell our stories.

151
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.519
Maybe there's somebody else out there listening
it's too afraid to tell their story.

152
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.480
Maybe this will give them the courage
to come out. And I feel

153
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.159
so bad about it. Who cares
what anybody thinks. I know what I

154
00:13:46.200 --> 00:14:07.240
saw, I know what's out there. That's all I can. Please let

155
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.879
people know, Please let them know. If you ever see one of these

156
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.919
things, you need to tell because
if you don't, then shame on you,

157
00:14:16.919 --> 00:15:03.840
you know, shame on you,
