3:30 AM: Bigfoot in Missouri! | 8 Witness Accounts!

0:00 You're listening to bigflet Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've got the privilege of talking to mister Brian Williams today from down there in the great state of Missouri. Brian is an individual. He's got Native American heritage. He is he was in the eighty second Airborne Division as a paratrooper.

0:45 He's a farmer and an avid outdoor enthusiast. We were just talking about fishing before the show started, so it's a privileged to have you on the show today. Brian. How are you doing today, sir? I am doing wonderful. Thank you very much for having me on the show. Absolutely there's a lot of Missouri stuff that has come up on the show recently. Brian. It sounds like you had a very interesting sighting and maybe some other things going on as well. But feel free to take us back to when this occurred for you, Brian, and we'll be right there with you. Okay. This was the fall of two thoy seventeen eighteen.

1:26 I was not retired at that time. I was still working. I took my wife to work every morning. She had to be at work at four o'clock. I took her to work. And this was not a one time drive on a gravel road. We lived up there. I've owned farms for years and years I've farmed. I've been on my land all night long, plowing disk and planting combined and harvesting, doing whatever. I've never seen anything like this. I was driving my wife to work. It was about three thirty in the morning. We were seven eight miles off of any paved road. We were back in gravel roads off of one sixteen Highway in North Missouri, up by lay Through.

2:06 And. It was fall. The corn was high on one side of the road and it was almost time to harvest. It was brown. I do remember the corn was almost ready because I talked to my wife about it before and something come out of the corn and been for North Missouri. My initial thought was up, deer hit my brakes, and it come across the road in front of us, out of the corn in two legs, And it kind of really took me by surprise because I've been in the wilderness my whole life. I've been to Colorado and Wyoming camping for ten days at a time multiple times with my boys hunting for elk, mule deer fishing trips.

2:47 I've been to the Blue Ridge Parkway camping up in there multiple times. Never have I seen anything like that. And my wife was riding beside me, and I was just really dumbfounded. I didn't say anything for a minute, and I turned and I watched it go across the gravel road and when it got to the other side, there's a little ditch and a bob wire fence. And for those people to say it could have been a kid in a costume or a person in a costume, it would have had to have been by far the best athletic person in the world. Because this person or this thing it came out of a cornfield jumped across a ditch in a single stride, smooth as could be.

3:32 And it wasn't up and down. It was very smooth. It was very almost like it was gliding. And I never did see the head the way the headlights caught it. I caught from about above the chest and like right up to about the neck down, and I'm guessing the height on this was about six and a half feet tall, a little taller than me, but not big like eight or nine feet that I would have thought. I never said a word about it. I thought, did I see what I just thought I saw? And about a minute or two later, my wife said what was that? And I said did you see that? And she said, yes, that was on two legs, and I'm like, okay, I'm not going crazy. So we discussed it the rest of the way and basically decided it probably would be in our best interst not to say anything to the local farmers because they think we were crazy. We really hadn't said anything except to our family members ever about this.

4:34 The only people that knew about this up till today, I've never spoke about this public was me and my wife and our immediate family and our real close friend, that's it. But it crossed the road and when I got to the other side, like I said, there was a ditch and a barbed wire fence, and it didn't pick up speed, it didn't get a good straddle for a jump, and it was just so smooth. I can't really explain how smooth it was. It just hurtled and went over that ditch and over that barb bar fence in one step. And I'm telling you, people can't do that. This could have been a person. And once it got to the tree line, it was just gone. There were some pretty good sized trees in the tree line. It could have easily hid behind a tree or something, but I know as soon as it got through that fence and into the trees, it was gone. We never seen it again, and I drove my wife to work and we discussed it. Like I said, we said it probably wouldn't be a good idea for us to talk about it with all the other locals. I got on BFRO website and looked at up because I had no idea there had ever been a big foot sighting in North Missouri.

5:47 I knew South Missouri and Arkansas had several, but never in North Missouri and come to find out in the same amount of time, and you can check the BFR website, the BFR H that is Clinton County, Missouri. There have been several sidings up there from truck drivers driving down I thirty five. They've reported bigfoots right on the side of I thirty five that I had no idea. Plattsburgh was five miles from my house where I mushroom hunted for fifteen years. They've had several big foot sidings come out of the swamps down there in the bottoms where I mushroom hunted. I had no idea. They had a big foot siding from a truck driver from a milk company across the road eight tenths of a mile from my farm, going towards my farm. So there's been activity up there for a long time. I was just ignorant to it. I had no idea. But now I'm retired to South Missouri and there's activity down here as well.

6:49 That's pretty much my story. We're still hearing stuff down here, like we talked about before we came on the podcast. August ninth through the fifteenth was my anniverse. Me and my wife went to Branson Missouri, and during that time there was another big foot siding by several people at I believe it's called Top of the Rock, his state side or state public land, whatever it is. I think it's called Top of the Rock. But it was all over the news down there. A group of people went up and a bigfoot got up out of the river area. And there's waterfalls in the river. From what I understand, a bigfoot got up out of that area and ran up into the woods in front of multiple people. They've several people seen it, so it's not just a one person deal down here. There are several people been having encounters.

7:39 Is that the place where you can drive golf carts through the cave? Probably? I know we've got a lot of big caves down here. I know they got one, and actually they do their cave tours with jeeps. Okay, cool, cool. I've always wanted to do the golf cart thing. Maybe I'll get to do this today. But that is wild, Brian, what a wild story. And you are right. There are definitely sighting reports in northern Missouri, not as many in southern Missouri. But I've had someone on the show recently that had a sighting up in Clarksdale, which is not too far away from where we're talking about today. And then you've got Monkey Mountain up there by Saint Savannah maybe Amazonia Savannah Yep, yep. But why come forward now? Why wait so long? And then why is now the right time to come forward and share what you guys experienced, to.

8:38 Be real honest about it. Before I farmed up there, I thought I'd just be ridiculed, really, and honestly, I thought it'd be a lot of ridicule. People who think he's on drugs, he's a drunk, something's wrong with that guy, And I really didn't want to deal with it. I retired and moved down here, and everybody that knew me where I was knew that I Wasative American. I'm a veteran and probably a lot of my beliefs come from my Native American And as I'm sure most of the listeners are aware, there's not hardly a tribe in North America, not the United States, North America that does not have a belief, a history, a folklore of either good or bad interactions with a big foot type of creature, and they have multiple different names for them. But through my heritage, and my whole life, my family has said these are real, and I've been brought up believing that, but we just don't discuss it. Taboo kind of thing to.

9:44 Discuss, absolutely, I think, especially if you go years and years back, people just weren't talking about it. But so you're saying that you remember in your family history, there are also other people that would have encounters to or they were just. Discuss Yes, my aunt is still alive today. She lives in Arkansas, and this is probably forty or fifty years ago. Her and her husband went fishing down there, and I have no idea of the location. They were going to a river somewhere that had an old log house abandoned on it, an old cabin of some sort. They got down there and they said something came out of that cabin when they pulled up on two legs and it wasn't human and they turned around left. And that's my aunt.

10:31 And that's been forty to fifty years ago. That's many years ago. So yeah, we've had that in our family for generations and generations. My mother is a full blooded Hallipoo Indian from Newfold, Canada, which is an island ninety miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, ninety miles out into the ocean. Our heritage on that island, has bigfoot on that island. How is it possible? There has to be something, there has to be And after rushing it with my own two eyes, there's just no way, there's no way. It can't be real. I'm not surprised at all. Really, I've talked to individuals in the past where, you know, even around the Lummi Reservation in Washington State, the San Juan Islands, and you have sightings of them swimming around the area and around those those islands. So I wouldn't say it's it's out of the question to have sightings as well in the opposite side of Canada on the islands over there. Going back to the sighting that you and your wife had, how many seconds would you say, in all you were able to have a visual of went across the road?

11:48 Probably in all realistic probably three three seconds, three to four total. But the first second, honestly, a brown animal comes out of a cornfield, my brain goes to it's a deer, And then when it come across the road on two legs, I was just I don't know how to explain it. I was dumbfounded. That wasn't supposed to happen. That should have been a deer or an animal I'm used to seeing, not something on two legs covered with air. I can tell you that. But it was there and I saw that. Did you notice what it was doing with its arms as it crossed?

12:28 Yes, the arms swung the whole time. The arms were swinging pretty wide. I don't know how to explain it. It wasn't like a person walking. If you're at a regular walk, your arms barely moved. This was like maybe its balance was in its arms or something. I don't know, but its arms were very active, very active, and its waist was not like when I run, I'm all up and down. Waist was very smooth and steady across there. It wasn't up and down. So when it crossed that road, it wasn't like a deer bouncing across the road. It was very almost like it glided across the road on its legs. Does that make sense? Oh?

13:15 Absolutely, That is something that usually always comes up people witnesses will say, it looks like it looked like it glided, almost like maybe it was a cross country skier. Just veryst like. And I will say I've talked to only my wife about this, but whatever we see, like I said, it wasn't eight or nine feet tall. It was a little bigger than me maybe and the bill boy, it wasn't ginormous. It was stockier than me, but not ginormous. I me and my wife have talked about it, and I am fairly certain what we seen might have been considered a juvenile, a young adult or something like that, because it was definitely not an eight, eight or nine foot animal. And I don't believe it was a female because it had a chest like a man. It did not have breast. I do know that for the fact, it did not have breast like a woman. It had a chest like a man.

14:13 Gotcha, So to find pectorals like a man would have. Did it seem to be covered with hair all over? Or their parts that you noticed were not as hair covered. Yes, it's I don't know how to explain it. Its knuckles on every ridge of its knuckles, its regular knuckles like if you make a fist, and then where your fingers bend, and then where your joints bind. Everywhere he had a knuckle or it had a knuckle looked like they were just calloused, and there wasn't no hair on that, but everything else had hair. Now I do the hands I talked to my wife about it looked like a construction worker that's worked one hundred and fifty years. They got them big strong man hands, and this was a Its hands really did stand out. They were probably quite strong, I'm going to guess. But the way it carried itself with its shoulders, the way it moved. It was a very agile, quick and nimble animal that was very capable of going through thick or crappy ground with not slowing down too much at all. It was, to say the least impressive.

15:31 I don't think I've ever heard a detail like the knuckle ridges being callous before that. That's pretty. They were dead in my headlights, and I remember going from here comes a deer, what is that? And I remember the hands specifically because I was thinking the callouses are on the wrong side. They should be on the inside, not the backside. But if it actually is a primate of some sort, that kind of makes a little bit more sense to me, really to me, So. I don't know, I think I think I get what you're saying, because if it does have a primate features or habits, then those callusies might be from the knuckle walking.

16:22 Is that maybe. Thinking that I don't know if it climbs trees or whatever. Me I'm banging my hands all the time. My hands look like crap, and I'm an old something that lives and does everything with their hands. It'd be ten times worse in my theory, I would think. Absolutely so were you able to see the other side of the hands as well, or just the outside with the. Knock all I could see was the backside. I never even the way across the road the other side. I could see the movement, but for whatever reason, the outside arms towards the vehicle, my truck. I caught that arm, and I really like in on that hand because it was a pretty unusual. It almost didn't go with the body, to be real honest, because of how callous the knuckles were.

17:10 Interesting. Did anything stand out to you about the type of hair it had, length, or color or anything regarding that. No, the hair was a light brown, a little redder than deer, a little redder than a deer's color in South Missouri here. But the hair was not like I didn't see any like big mats or big chunks of hair that were all nasty. It almost looked like a thin had of hair all over its body, but a thin had a hair. It wasn't how do I say, it wasn't like a wolf's coat or another animal that would be you would expect to survive through winners in a real heavy coat. It was almost like a person that's losing the hair on top of their head. It's thinning out all over their body. It's hard to explain that it was completely covered in hair, but it wasn't super super heavy long hair. Let me get with that.

18:20 It was shorter and what I've seen was pretty clean. There wasn't no mats, briers, nothing, And that's briar country that there's a lot of briers of their deer and stuff. You almost never see a deer with a brier on it. I don't know if it's because of their fur or what, but when you kill one during deer season, you'll find them on their belly and they're underneath. But when you see them, you almost never see a brier on the back of a deer let. And maybe that's the same thing. I don't know, but It did not have any clumps anything. It's fur looked good. I would say, if I was judging it as an animal like a coyo, it's furly good. It looked very healthy. Judging from what I saw, there was absolutely no problems with this animal whatsoever, as far as a gimpie leg, a bad arm, anything to slow it down. Nothing. It was prime. I don't really know how to explain it any better than that. It was appeared to be whatever. It was very healthy, very agile, and in good shape.

19:24 So that makes a lot more sense. How you were. You're very sure that you were able to see defined pectoral muscles like a male. If the hair on it was almost like a thinning coat of hair, it would easily be able to see muscular definition around the body as it ran. Yes, and the body wasn't like It wasn't like an older person that you can tell their muscles are gone and their physique kind of goes downhill. No matter who you are, it happens. This was like an eighteen, twenty twenty three, twenty five five year old that is still in the prime of their life, coming up young and healthy.

20:04 It had a good sized chest on it, but it had a man's chest. It did not have women's breast. And I've looked at that Patty video hundreds of times, and to me, it looks like it has women's breast. To me, I would one hundred percent agree with you on that. That's without question that. And it was probably I'm going to guess thirty to thirty five yards in front of my truck. This wasn't a long way away. It wasn't like all the way at the very end of my LIFs. It came out in good light. And the reason I couldn't see its head is because the body was in really good light and the head was still in the dark. I couldn't see the shape of the head tell if it was like delongated or a normal head or I couldn't tell.

20:55 I knew it had a human type of head, but I really couldn't tell. I could see the body and it was gone just that fast. That makes sense as well. So really you were about the length of it was about the length of a tennis court ahead of you, because that's about twenty five yards. So yeah, yes, easily could have seen what crossed in front a half for sure. And like I said, I've been in the woods of my whole life. I grew up with this, the animals all over North America. This was nothing I have ever seen anything. It was definitely a animal that I don't know what it was on two legs. Let's go with it.

21:39 I'm from my heritage. I would have to go with a sasquatch. That's the only thing I can think of. You did already mentioned that it seemed like it was gliding, But was there anything else that you noticed about the way that it moved, Like the way it was moving its legs as it was running or walking across. Now it was running like I said, There was no up and down. It was real, real smooth, But its legs it didn't. It wasn't like if you were in mud and you were high step and having to pick up your feet real high. Its feet wasn't coming up high off the ground. It was very fast and smooth. And before it jumped the fence on the other side and that creek, there was a person, a human. Any human would falter a step, get ready, prep for a step.

22:37 They would give you like you get ready to jump, you prep, you get that last good jump, and then you bound. It didn't do it. It just stayed steady and went right over. It's it's it is hard to explain. I'm having a hard time putting that into words. Sounds like it was definitely moving with purpose and nothing was really bothering. It just was like I gotta get across here. I'm going to go for it. Yeah. Yeah, wow, Brian, what a wild sighting And at a time at four a m. You're not expecting that. You're probably just yea, let me get back to when you get back to bed, or maybe time to do the chores after.

23:19 Yeah. And I've even thought about people going it was maybe it was kids. And if you say something the people going maybe it was kids in the outfit, Well, what kid's gonna go out and outfit god knows what time at night and sit there till four o'clock in the morning in the fall when it's cold. I don't see that happening, No way, miles from nowhere on the gravel road, no way, I just don't see it. Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, you're right, they didn't stay out that late. Yeah, And there's no way that it could have been a person the way it went across the road and across that fence, so that would totally be out of it.

23:59 If you you could put yourself back in that morning in the truck. Is there anything else that you would have done differently in that situation if you could. If I didn't have to go to work, I would have went back and looked for tracks, But I don't know who owned that property, and I didn't want to just stop in the middle of the night, and I was on my way to work as well. I took my wife to work and I went to work, and we blew it off and never really went back. We crossed that place every day, never seen it again and never have since then. SI just one of them weird deals. Would you ever want to see something like that again?

24:40 That again? Absolutely absolutely, I would definitely like to see something again. It really is a fascinating account, And Brian, I want to say thank you for coming forward publicly after such a long time and finally being able to share. I appreciate that, and I know the community and people in that area appreciate knowing that something happened as well. So you're now spending time down in southern Missouri, correct, Yes. I'm retired down to the Lake of the Ozarks region. That's great. So the bigfoot things that you've been hearing down there are these from people that you've actually talked to, or this is stuff that like it's in the news, it's being talked about in the community.

25:30 I know these are actual. When we put our home in next morning, they were hooking up our water lines, our electric lines, trenching all that. In the night before. We stayed at our place in a camper rung with a generator. I went out in the middle of the night. I was going to fill the generator with fuel and I heard some screaming. I thought, what is it? And when I went outside, my hearing isn't really that great. Hollered up my waf and I thought, RUSA, come out here and listen to this. And we both listened to it. And it went on for a good while. It would stream and then be quiet, stream and then be quiet. But whatever, it was probably a mile and a half maybe two miles away. It wasn't right with us. But the next day the water company man who lives half a mile down the road, he asked me if i'd heard them screams the night before, And he was asking about that and asking what was that. I've never He's from Indiana and he said he's never heard an animal like that in his life. So it's been going on down here. Other people have heard it, and its continuoes to go on.

26:45 Wow, what a welcome to the neighborhood. For sure. That is extremely content. And we're only how far was it for us to run down to Arkansas to about about three hours from Arkansas. We're three hours north of Fort Arkansas. The one thing we do have here and we get a lot of bears migrating from Arkansas up to this area because of our berries. We have blackberries that grow wild here and there's just ares and agers. They're a nuisance up there.

27:25 There's so many of them, and the bears come up here and they're just really coming in. It's a big deal to see bears up here, but we see two or three four a year. Why wouldn't if that food supply is valuable, why wouldn't another animal migrate through that time too and take advantage of them berries. I've thought about that several times. It's something I thought about. I think there's a lot of truth to that, and I'm sure do you guys have a pretty active deer population down there as well. Yes, yeah, so that's perfect then, my goodness. Yeah wow, it'll be interesting what you continue to hear down there over over the years as you as you hang out down there in the Lake of the Ozarks area, which from what I hear is a great area to look for bigfoot at in that especially since you've been mentioning some things yourselves.

28:20 But it's really blown up since COVID, A lot of people from city areas have wanted to move down here and get away from those city areas. And believe it or not, you can just look at bfro and all the different counties around this area with people putting in new places on that land that's been vacant for years and years. They're sightings blowing up everywhere. It's you can't hardly go to the Lake of the Ozarks to any of our little antique places, our little stores that sell goods and whatnot. That everybody down here is starting to carry bigfoot amorabilia. It's a big thing. The Smoky Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. Am I wife, being on vacation ten years ago, you've never seen that. You go up there, now every store has bigfoot memorabilia, bigfoot stuff for sale.

29:16 I think it's just becoming more and more widely known across the United States and Canada that this is an actual animal that is alive. And I really think the only reason it has not been brought out is because the logging industry has fought it so hard. Because if it was ever brought out as a real animal, they would have to be protected. The first thing they would do, by common sense, my thought would be protect its properly protected where it's at, which would means stop logging, and the logging companies can spend any amount of money to not let that happen.

29:57 It's definitely something that I thought about myself, and I've heard quite a bit as well. But I think that you're absolutely right. Things are starting to come literally out of the woodwork. I'm starting, sman. The conversations I'm having off air are very intense, park rangers, et cetera. People that can't come on air yet maybe someday, but people are definitely starting to realize that, yes, there's something out there, it's okay to talk about it. There's multiple places in the Pacific Northwest where they're starting to become protected. It stuff is starting to escalate. I would say for sure. Another thing you might want to really look into is Canada is in court as we speak, trying to make sasquatch, bigfoot, wherever you want a protected species. They've been fighting it in court for several years now. I don't know if you knew that or not, but that is a doesn't take a lot of research to figure that one out.

30:57 It's been to court. They're trying they have the what primate animal comes from North America? There is no other primate than human beings in North America. Supposedly we don't have a breeding population of big monkeys here, so what other primate would they have? DNA from Washington, British Columbia and all those areas. From to me, it really does, and people can check out. There's a few different maps out there where you can see sightings. There's one on my website of all the shows, almost all the shows I've done so far. It's Bigfoot societypodcast dot com. There's a big Foot mapping project, there's a BFRO has maps. There's a lot of different resources you can look into. But man, Brian, what a really interesting conversation. Thank you for sharing what you've experienced over the years, and just another sighting from down there in Missouri state that really is getting more and more active.

31:59 And thank you for coming on the show, Brian. Now problem we'll be keeping in touch. Brian. All right, thank you very much, appreciate it. Hi there, how are you. I'm good? Are you doing great? Did you have a bigfoot story to share? Sir? I do not have one myself, but my grandfather had one. Oh, okay, you can hear him. Good? Right, Yeah, you sound great, go right ahead, all right. So my grandfather, when he was a young man, either late teens or early twenties, he lived in a town I believe called Arneville, Louisiana, somewhere around there, and him and I believe one of his brothers riding horses along this either it was a cornfield or sugar can't feel I can't remember the exact details, but the field they were riding through had been harvested for Hey, so there's all these hay bills everywhere, and as they're writing, he said that this large hairy woman is what he called it, walked out from behind the haybills and let out this crazy scream and then ran into the field. So him and his brother went, Okay, what's that and they went to go check it out, and they found that the side of the haybale had been torn out and bedded down,

33:29 like something had been sleeping there, and he said it smelled super bad, which of course is like classic bigfoot stuff. Now to me, what makes this somewhat credible? He's a long passed away, so I can't ask him again, but I did ask him years ago how it went, and that's pretty much what I remembered him saying. And the reason I find it credible is because this would have taken place around the I think late forties or early fifties, and before that point, the term bigfoot just didn't exist. And he never called it a bigfoot. He always called it a hairy woman. And according to my mother, that story she heard a few times and he'd never changed any details. And it wasn't something that he told me or my cousin's ericon while we were growing up to spookas.

34:21 It was something we had to ask him about and he would just tell us normally there's nothing in bellish or anything about. It that's wild. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, that's an area I haven't heard about yet. My goodness, how did that affect you? After hearing that? I thought it was just an interesting story me personally. Until I see one in person, I can't say with confidence that I believe that they are one hundred percent real. But I'm leaning toward the possibility of the creatures existing because in my opinion, it's just undiscovered homited, which is somewhat far fetched, of course, but it's really not that far fetched. And I do find it interesting how his report does like line up with.

35:16 Others, especially with the wordage. I feel like if he was making it up, he would have called it a sasquatch or a bigfoot, of the popular names. Sure. Absolutely, did anyone else experience anything weird in that same area. Not that I know of, And apparently that was the only time he ever had some like that happen. His brothers are long dead too, so I can't ask them about it. It's really unfortunately that I can't go and ask them for more details because I would not really have more details on this. I appreciate you coming up. Is this a conversation I can share on the big foot shield that I have? Yeah? Absolutely? And another important thing, is at that time, and even today those towns, that town and the towns around it are very rural, fucking like, nothing but farmland, forest and small cities like just there's not a lot of activity going on.

36:17 That makes sense that that was a perfect place for it to happen. Definitely, thank you so much for coming up. I appreciate it all right, man, thank you for having me. Hello, Hey Mario, how are you, sir? Pretty good? In you good? I saw your comment and we were able to connect this time that you had a sighting in California. Yeah, me and my brother's friend. We were on our way back from dropping off my brother at the club, and we were on our way back and we got you right there at fourteen and the five freeway interchange and before Santa Clarita, And it was like four in the morning, and I was driving on my buddy's pickup truck and we're just driving along and I way ahead of me. I'd seen something in the middle of the road, and I was like, the heck is that? And we come pulling out, getting closer, and I started slowing down and next thing you know, it was dark, but yet there was some light and we rolled right up to it.

37:32 I had this thing right on the passenger side of the truck. He was like at the fender, and I pulled up. I'm not making this up. This is totally for real. And it's like we were going like about five miles an hour. There was no one else on the freeway, and I was like in the driver's seat, like trying to look over the stream really up to try to see his face, but I couldn't. And what I didn't notice was that the hood of the truck went up about middigh to whatever was standing out there, and whatever it was, it wasn't wearing clothes, but it was. It hadn't been fur. It was just so real that it was like almost unreal. And I was trying to look at his face, and my buddy that was sitting next to me, he's like trying to climb over me because it was right outside his window, and he's yelling at me mariogo, and I'm like hold on, and I just couldn't anymore. And I threw that sucker in the first and we burnt rubber out of there. It was crazy.

38:52 They just stood there and I remember looking back at it and it was continue to stand there as we drove away. Wow, well that's intense. Smorrow. What year was that again? That was around? That was around like ninety nine. Okay, oh, my goodness. Real to see anything to its face at all? No, to be honest with you, No, I was trying to. I was trying. I wanted to see his face. But I did see the legs up to his like mid chest, and that's about as far as I could get. Like I said, I was like trying to look over the steering wheel and up at an angle to my right, and yeah, I couldn't see his face. I wanted to see his face.

39:47 How wide was it? Why did oh? I'd have to say when I pulled up to him. As I pulled up to him, I'd say, I'd say it was about four feet why, maybe three three and a half four feet wide? This things it was huge. It was huge. I was literally craning my neck trying to look up and I couldn't see his face. All what I could see was like his mid chest and that was it. In order to see his face, i'd have to I would have had it backed up.

40:32 And yeah, I stuck around as long as I might I could, And I was like okay, I'm out. You burnt rubber out of there. My buddy was like he was crawling on me, like yelling at me get out of here. I was like, hold on, man. That's so wild. It was. It truly was wow. Wow. Thank you for sharing what happened to you back in nineteen ninety nine. I appreciate it. Is there. Would you mind if I use the audio from this on the podcast that I have. No, it's cool, all right man. What you're doing is what's doing is pretty cool, and just tell you. Part of me wants to say it was something else, but what else could it have been? It wasn't some guy not that big. Wasn't some like a homeless person or anything like that. Not that big and not that hairy.

41:35 But you're definitely out there. Were there out there one percent? Mario. I appreciate you coming up and chatting. Thank you so much, No problem, take it easy. Hey there, low sir, How are you good? How are you doing doing good? I saw you wanting to come up to share something. Sure, I'll tell you my story. Okay, my first encounter anyway, I was like ninety seven, ninety eight. I was in Lake Louise Alberta. I was sitting on a loading dock had this thing doing a spider crawl towards me. I'm looking down from a loading dock. Sorry, my wife's just getting in the car here.

42:21 Oh you're good. That's a sasquatch thing telling them my story. So anyway, I'm on a loading dock. This is on it's pavement behind because truck's back into this loading dock, and this thing is crawling like a spider. All I saw were the body was probably six inches off the ground, the arms were outstretched. It looked like a huge insect. And twenty years I didn't know what I saw. I didn't know about the spider crawl, so that was my first encounter. I didn't see any. It was black, there was no so I couldn't see any details. I ran down the stairs beside the loading dock when it went to the left, which would it went out of view to me. I ran out and it should have been there, and the thing had vanished or jumped or moved that quickly. It started going left when it saw I was coming towards it, so I didn't even have time to be I had no fear.

43:24 I didn't know what I was looking at. Like I said, twenty years went by, and then I started listening to podcasts and heard about the spider crawl and I'm like, bingo, the light went off. Wow, that's a by Baff National Park, right. It's part of bamp Yeat Lake. Louise's part of bamp Like I said, it wasn't even in the woods, it was on the it was on the pavement. Like I just didn't know what I was looking at because I didn't know that they could crawl like that. And it was. Actually Wes Germer from Sasquatch Crawnles when he told his story, that's when the light bulb went.

44:07 That's what I saw. Wow, that's number one. And then do you want to hear more? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, yeah yeah. About twenty one years ago, we were camping up in Squamish, BC. I'm in BC. I'm BC. Sasquatch Man by the way. Okay, so we're at Alice Lake. My wife, Yeah, it's a campground. My wife and my newborn or sleep in the tent with me and I used to have sleep apne. I slept terribly, but I would just snore and about three o'clock in the morning, I felt the ground moving like something walking. Definitely by all I could hear it breathing. It had the classic breathing sound. It rubbed the tent. I actually slapped the tent and I heard and felt it run like the ground like if you're in the Pacific Northwest with all the deciduous trees, the ground like if you jump on the ground, you can feel it like there's some vibration.

45:28 It's just if not settled soil. So I heard this thing run off, and so that was my second encounter. I'll guarantee that's what it was. And then I actually on my TikTok there's a video where I think I caught one making some noise because I had a gifting area. Used to leave toys and little treats and stuff, and I go back and things be gone or moved, or there'd be feathers there dead of what I left usually stillar j feathers. I've found a series of three of them a number of times.

46:09 But anyway, I was actually because I do toy photography is a hobby. I was actually filming a Bigfoot action figure at the time, but this was at my gifting area, and so I got there one of these marbles that I left there had moved seven feet from where it was up on top of the log where I always do my photography. And when I touched the marble, something blasted off and that's when I hit record on my phone. I'm like, it's going to happen again. I just knew it. And yeah, like a minute later, there's another call. I've sent it to my friends that are hunters. I have friends that are bird watchers. They're like, it's not an own bird. There's no elk in North Vancouver, that's where I live. It's a strange call and I captured it.

47:05 That's awesome. It is out on your TikTok as well. Yeah, it's somewhere on my TikTok. It hardly has any views, funny enough. I was on From the Shadows. Yep. Yeah, I was a guest on that and we talked about because I've had the UFO stuff, the ghosts and sasquat stuff throughout my life. Wow, So what started first for you? The first thing was I levitated once I was in my backyard. I don't know if you remember. People used to like we lived in the country, so we didn't have cable we had those old antennas that capture some channels for you. Yeah, it's a ladder that's set up on the side of your house. And I was out in my backyard. It was probably about six or seven, and I started floating up and I was able to reach out and grab the aeriel and it had rungs like a ladder, and I was able to climb back down and I went in the house.

48:10 I don't know. I was probably twelve fifteen feet in the air. So that happened. And then UFO stuff. I've seen stuff in BC, I've seen stuff in Ontario, just crazy. I sent the from the Shadows guys one of the videos of UFO as well. But yeah, just lights sporadically, like hovering like a like you've seen a hummingbird, how they can move like just very sporadic. I was doing that with lights, and it seemed like there was some intelligence. Like when I saw it, I could feel it's weird, but there was a connection. I knew that it knew that I saw it. And that's when it went from like pretty much standing still to out of sight.

49:10 In the blink of an eye. I watched it just move like nothing, no technology, we have that I'm aware. Of has some wild stuff. Dude. Wow, Jay, thank you, thank you for coming up and for chatting a bit. What's the name of your TikTok channel so people can check that out. Yeah, it's BC Sasquatch. Moon all right. Yeah, keep in touch with two of. Its toys and stuff. But there is occasionally I all put some stuff. I haven't been active for about a year. I got I got one time. I got scared out of there for no reason. I just had this fear overcome and to me, it was warning me about something else.

49:53 That's the impression I got from it. And I really haven't done anything since. Being complete truthful with you, it's been about a year since I've done any activity. Hey, that's all right. Sometimes you need to take a break and that's there's nothing wrong with that. Man. Do you mind if I use this audio and the Bigfoot podcast? I have no go right ahead. Yeah, that's totally fine. Awesome, Thanks for coming on podcast. It's called Big for Society. You can find it on YouTube or Apple Podcasts, Spotify, any of those. I might be following you or just I haven't been listening to podcasts either, so anyways. Have a good night man YouTube J have a good one, all right, take care.

50:37 Hello? How are you? Yes? I have good sir? How about you doing great? I saw your comments? So you are from up there in Alaska? Is that correct? That is correct? And are you saying you're from your like port Lock. Exactly? The closest village right next to it. That's where my answers migrated from. Was report like that story that happened there. I'm part of that tribe that was moved from there because of that happening there. Oh my goodness, before we continue, I think there might be some audio coming in on the background. Do you have a TV on? Let me turn it off for thank you? Okay, sir ken you.

51:27 I'm sorry. So it sounds like you have some things to share. I would also be interested to hear what you know about or your version of what happened to the people that lived in Portlock as well. Okay, So I am. I am writing a book, rewriting of one that I've read. It's been written in a few of our village books here in the village of the stories of how it was destroyed by this evil entity that was It was a town that was formed by came workers, lumberjacks, people that are trying to make a booming town happen, gold miners, miners, and fishermen in anyway, they moved into the portlock and they built the community there, and for some reason or another, it started like the loggers in the woods were disappearing, the ones that were making like lumber and using sawmills to build the houses down there, and they started to disappear, and they'd find like parts of their bodies on the shoreline in the creeks, like the arm or a torso or just start a leg or something. That's the stories that's written there. I'm writing in my book and I haven't published yet because I love to write. I'm like a quiet writer. But anyways, so yeah, that's what happened is they just said that everything was left as it was when they went to go check on that town. I said, the pots on

52:57 the stove were still cooking, but nobody around. All the oh village was a bed and everyone just picked up all their stuff. And I got out of the town there and moved up north to where I live now. It's called nan Walk in a portgram a little south of Homer in Soldovia. Yeah, we're all you people that live here. And there I heard there were like Spanish ships that were the ones that were they brought the migrants to the to that area before that all happened, and then after it all happened, they all moved up towards home because they were terrified at that place. Two years ago, I got this dog from home where it was a husky, and I let my daughter walk it outside in the evening time by my yard and I live on the outskirts of our village near the dumb area, and she had come in. It was like nine in the evening, say, about November time, and it was a little bit snow out on the ground, and she took him out in the tennis there. She came back and she was crying, and she asked her. I said, what's wrong.

53:54 She said there was an ape out there, a gorilla by the side of the house and the bushes, And I said, what was it. I made her explain to me and said what did it do? He said it was sitting there watching her, and then it stood up past the bushes and it started growling at her and tried to try to grab me, and she came running in the house and she was terrified them. And the next day my brother came by the house and I told him about what happened, and he went out by the window where I thought I had seen something that night, like i'd say, glowing eyes or something in the window looking because I had a lamp on, and right below that window it was like a six foot high window, and it was like a single footprint in the mud, probably about a size fifteen. I have the picture of it, and my wife had some pictures of it down below our house and the bushes. You could see his face.

54:40 It's really weird, but it's and it went out. We have this lake system up above our village and I've I went up there on my four wheeler to get wood one day and I found another track and I took another picture of it. So I got a couple of tracks in my phone here that I have documented. Yeah, that's that's what I was just going to share what you guys saw. Wow, right now, it's about that Portlock village that disappeared. It's because my family's from there that were part of the descendants that happened too. So his here he is here he's my nephews. Like hear him up at the lake system. He whistles, he knocks on woods, and he the other at night, there was like two of my nephews. They were like about one one was twelve and the other ones like seven. And they came running down from above where they were fishing, and they said they heard like howling and they turned into a high pitched whistle and it made them like terrified their boots and they ran back then to the village. They didn't want to go back up there anymore. And this was like about a month and a half ago when we were fishing for the last of the salmons of the season.

55:44 Pretty much here. Does that happen a lot up there where they try to take females. Yes, you're right, very much sure, because I have four daughters and my wife, and it stuck around my heart because it would seem like daughters, I'm pretty sure, through the windows at night time, and I could feel it. I could feel it outside of my house and or hear it sometimes to like walking like heavy footsteps. But it was like picking in the window at my daughters or my wife. That's what it seemed like to me anyway, I feel like I'm stuck in the girls. Wow, Sperry, that is extremely intense. And so you're down on the far southern peninsula, the Kenai Peninsula, right.

56:32 Yes, sir, there's no way. There's no way for a village but by boat or a small sess on a plane. Wow. Okay, so you are you're stuck out there, literally stuck out there with the Bigfoot yep y sir. Wow. Thank you for coming up and for Sharon. And when you do get your book published, can you reach out to me? Send me an email at Bigfoot Society gmail dot com or send me a DM on here. I'd love to know that it's. Out for sure, for sure, no. Problem, awesome. And do you mind if I share the audio from this conversation on the Bigfoot podcast that I have. Yeah, I don't mind, you know, I don't mind.

57:14 Awesome. Thank you so much. I appreciate you coming up, sir. All right, have a good night. Did you hear about the Bigfoot sightings in Arundel Mills in two thousand? No? I didn't. Where's that is it in Maryland? What? It's an outlet center? No? I haven't heard about this. Let me look. Thik Greg, How are you. All right? Can you hear me? Okay? Yes? Yes? Are you coming up to share a big foot story? You have? Yes, It was a long time ago.

57:55 It was in the late seventies, anywhere from December seventy seven to before December seventy eight, because it happened before the Blizzard of seventy eight. What it was, I was staying with me and my sister stayed with my grandparents after Christmas on their farm which was in a rural area of Kentucky called Barry and Barry is close to Cynthiana. In Cynthiana, it got famous because of the walking Dead.

58:39 But anyway, this was a house that was built in the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen nineteen hundreds. There were four rooms on the bottom, two rooms up top. My sister and I were sleeping in the room with the wood burning stove. Was on the couch. She was in a sleeping bag. And I woke up late, like two three in the morning. And I needed to pee. And at this point my grandparents did not have in an indoor bathroom. It was still an outhouse a couple hundred yards back off the back door.

59:27 So I was on the couch. I sat up, and there's a window right behind the couch and I looked out and there was something by There was a fur or an evergreen or fur tree, maybe fifty two hundred feet away from the back window, and by that. Tree I saw something. I saw a large humanoid. That was.

1:00:08 At least seven and a half eight feet tall. They were back lit by the moon. I could not see the face, but I could see the form of them, and it was humanoid. It had a high crest on its head and I was looking at it. It was looking at me. I didn't feel any fear, and I turned my head like a dog hearing a new noise, and what I was looking at mimicked me. It would move its head the same way I was, and I was just there was It was cold. There had not been any snow all yet, but it was very cold, and I don't know how long we looked at each other, and like I said, there, I didn't I wasn't afraid.

1:01:15 I didn't feel threatened, but at the same time, I was like, I'm not going to tempt fate. I'm not going to the outhouse. So I just lowered myself down from the window and laid back down on the couch. And wait. I eventually went back to sleep. But the next day, the first thing I did went to the outhouse and then I went and looked at the tree. And the tree was. I would have to say seven and a half feet to eightpeet tall. But what I saw was a good foot and a half bigger than that. Like I said, I wasn't afraid. It didn't It didn't scare me. It didn't give me a vibe of anger or hate or anything.

1:02:20 It was just more of a vibe of curiosity. But like I said, I still I held on to my pee till the morning because I was probably if it was after Christmas, I was eight years old, so this was to be seen December and February of nineteen seventy eight. But still, and you know, I've had a lot of experiences with other paranormal after that, but this was the only bigfoot experience had. So if do you want to look up where Berry is, it was one of those little towns my grandparents farm. They ran both cattle and wrenched out tobacco land for sharecroppers.

1:03:18 But yeah, that's my experience. With the bigfoot, and nobody can tell me different that it because it happened. I know it happened, and like I said, there was no fear involved, it was just curiosity. Oh absolutely. Did you see any tracks out there the next day? No? No, That's the thing is that it was very cold, so there were no tracks, and that was what I actually went looking for if there's any evidence any tracks, any fur, any stacked. But no, And it's weird that side of just probably about one hundred two hundred feet past that tree, there was a large grove of honey locust trees. I don't know if you're familiar with honey locusts, but they have a lot of thorns. And I actually went looking to see if there's any disturbances or fur or anything down there, and there wasn't. Because bigfoot sasquatch, whatever you don't call them, they know that honey locusts are not a tree you want to mess with because

1:04:50 they have thorns up to two inches long sticking out of the bark and branches. But yeah, there I found. There's no there was no physical evidence. There is this evidence of what I saw. And you know, when you're waking or dreaming, especially if you got a full bladder, I thought other paranormal experiences passed that, but not another bigfoot siding. But that was, like I said, late nineteen seventy seven, early seventy eight, near Cynthiana, Kentucky, a little town called Barry.

1:05:41 Great. Thank you for coming up and sharing it. That is, that's a new area for me to hear about. So definitely, I'll definitely make sure that's notated. But this conversation we had, do you mind if I use it in that bigfoot podcast that I have? Yeah, go ahead, I don't care. That's fine because I that's I've got friends. We did a lot of investigations in prayer normal, especially back there was if you look at old newspapers in Breadth that County in Kentucky, there was something called the Breath that dog killer, which might have been a Bigfoot, might have been something else.

1:06:27 But if you. Look at a lot of bigfoot or other cryptids, they seemed to follow waterways. But yeah, go ahead, use my story. I'm fine with that, and I will. I will back that till I die, because I know I saw that. Like I said, I couldn't because the moon was behind it. I couldn't make out any A lot of de tells of the face or anything. But I knew how big it was, I knew what it looked like, and I knew I should What got me the most was just the head, the crest on its head, you know it.

1:07:24 And but anyway, so yeah, go ahead and use it, and I hope you have a great night. Thank you Greg for coming up. I appreciate it. Sir, you have a good one all right. Later, man, I was going on, Hey doing good? Are you coming up to share a big foot story? That yes, sir, I am. I can't remember if I've shared this on your store, on your page or not. I'm following you already, so I think I may have. This is a flip who lived out in Oregon and we went out to the Toko Tea area. I had that experience where I was camp and I can't remember if I told you the story. You're not already, are you? The gentleman that had stuff in Washington? In Oregon?

1:08:09 Only Oregon. We were up and down the entire coast working, but we weren't. I never had anything spooky happen other than in Oregon. I was also in Minnesota doing some logging up there for a while. I might have told you that. This doesn't really sound let's go for it. Then, I don't think it was you. If you'll have me here, I am absolutely. I'm a man of all trade that work all over the state doing all kinds of different stuff. At this point, I was out in Oregon working. It was just a two week gig. We were way out in the sticks. And you got to be in the higher elevation and we're pretty arid. We were in the Illinois Valley. It's the wettest and the driest valley in the United States compared to rainfall. In the summer, it's just drier and one hundred and ten degree dry heat. And then in the winter it just missed all year long, all winter long.

1:08:54 Anyway. So the Toka Tee Falls area is nearby where we were at, and we drove a few hours to get there, and we had a couple of days off. So let's go somewhere pretty in camp and this is the end of the season. There's no tourists around anymore, and we thought the campground was closed. It was one of those paid the envelope dropping in the mailbox a lock box and them go set up camp. They come check out in the morning. If you're not supposed to be there, they throw you out, and. So we paid. We went in. We had to open a big gate. There was no one and no staff whatsoever, no outdoor toilets, nothing like that. It was really rough in it. But you drive up a big old logging road and there's a clearing up there that the grounds are at, and there was nobody there, and we're like, great, we got the place to ourselves. So we settled down, made dinner the first night, had a great night the first night, first time we had to have a drink in a week and a half. So we had some beer and settled in and had a comfortable night. Nothing happened where woke up for the next morning, made breakfast, went for a hike, and there was a real nice creek.

1:09:54 Down the mountain. So we went down the mountain of this creek, did some fishing, and came back up probably around six o'clock mountain time. Out there, Depending on how big the mountains around you are, it could get dark round six o'clock, seven o'clock, and it was. Honestly, it's about the same time as it is now. Actually, i'm thinking about it. Maybe a couple of weeks earlier. But we went back up and my buddy's car doors were all open and we didn't even think to lock it. We're way out in the sticks and all his car doors are open, the coolers open. Nothing was missing that we could see, except for an axe that was thrown into the side of a dead tree that was gone. That was the only thing. We're like, oh, some probably some teenagers went through and oh, look at this, let's take this. And I figure, oh, probably some kids. Who knows. There were some houses up on the ridge farther off, and some four wheeler trails too, And now I'm thinking about it.

1:10:46 I don't even know who. Anyway, it was odd and we're like whatever, and maybe we put it so, maybe we didn't leave it there, maybe we forgot about it somewhere else. And we went We had dinner and went to bed. Didn't have anything to drink that night because all we brought was six packs for each of us. All went through that the first night we went to bed and I was about I mean a hundred and one hundred yards off from the main couple who at their a separate car, and then I was riding with my buddy whose car doors are all left open. When I was me as. I was one hundred yards off from the first couple, it was maybe two hundred feet away from my buddy on the other side, and we went to bed. No big deal. It was missing that night. It was cold, it was rainy, it was wet, and I had a milar sleeping bag that I hadn't used yet, and I was like, oh, this would be great. I'll test out my lar and wrapped up, went to sleep, woke up a couple hours later just sweating buckets. Have you ever used my lar, You'll know it's it'll keep you warm, especially in sixty degree weather. It's not really four that some sweating buckets. So take this silly thing off and get back into my normal sleeping bag. And I'm going back to sleep, and I start hearing this water running over rocks, like just a trickle, just a little quick and it's moving pebbles though, and I'm like, maybe I'm in a wash. Maybe i gotta kick some pine cones or some pine needles out of the way and see if this is an indent of a wash, if there's pebbles brookstone.

1:12:11 I got out of the tent. I'm about ready to drag my tent up to higher ground, and I'm kicking everything around and owing one hundred foot circle around my tent halfway to my buddy's truck, and I'm not seeing any running water, and I can't figure out where it's coming from. And it just stops, and I'm like, that was really weird, and I went over. I said, my buddy's lights were off in his truck, so I'm not going to bug him. See if he knows where it came from, he probably wouldn't be able to hear it anyway. And the fire's just smallder and I didn't have to worry about it much. It was wet season, and so I said, I'm not gonna wry, but I'm going to bed. And I went back to bed. And at the time, I had a long gun, a three fifty seven magnum and a big bushwhacken knife. And that's just for preface. But so I went to bed, and I always had my handgutt next to me as an old revolver and my knife. And I'm sitting there going to bed, and I keep hearing all this movement around the tent and I'm I I've been up in the so many times.

1:13:07 I'm thinking it's dear. It's probably it's probably smelled the fire or whatever, or the food they're probably investigating. Could be a bear, could be fox, could be raccoons, could be anything. And it starts getting louder, and now I'm hearing like bigger and bigger branches breaking, and I'm thinking, oh, maybe an elk. I don't know if they got them around this area, but they're definitely in the state, and it's a weird time of year. Maybe they're passing through or bobcat or something. And it's getting louder and louder until it's within at least fifty feet of my tent. And it just stops. And I got all my lights off. It's dark, and there's overcast, it's darker than dark, and all of a sudden, I hear this, these footsteps. Going boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom bom boom.

1:13:48 Running toward my tent. And it's clearly it's two feet it's not galloping, it's not trotting. It's not it's not an elk, it's not a moose, it's not anything not like that nothing quadrupedal. I've seen bear move along pretty good on two. Feet, but not like that. And by the time the thing got to me, I could feel the vibrations through the ground coming up through my camp mat whatever, like a bulldozer going by. It was huge, and I just remember your instinct kicks in. I just feedled up into a little ball position and thinking I was about to get run over, and right before it hits at my tent, it just takes a hard left, like I can hear it, a skid and hard left, and it runs off into the woods, off the little trail I was sitting on, and I could hear it crashing through the bush, run far and farther away, and I was like, that was really weird. That was probably a big old moose with an injury or something.

1:14:41 That was weird. So I don't know, if you ever camp in deep woods, you here some hot sleep, you know what I mean, Let's go to bed, and I don't know. I was falling back asleep. Ignore the stuff. Sometime if you make a car big scene, you're going to interest a bear. Just let it move through. They're not going to mess with theyre usually, And so I was just getting back to sleep, and then I heard something again. I'm going not like a cat, but click, and I'm like, what is that? That's the weirdest sound. I thought maybe it was like the my buddy had a ratcheting kettle. I thought maybe it was like the lid on that kettle or the spout on that kettle.

1:15:22 And I'm like going through my brain like what it's not sticks? What is that'n? Over and over and I'm so confused by it. And right as I'm like starting to think, I'm just gonna get the flashlight. This has been stupid all night. I gotta get some sleep. I'm gonna go out. There and scare whatever it is off. Right then I just start hearing this terrible and just there was this big old fell in sequoietry out nearby as a closer to my buddy's truck, but yep, twice the distance I was from him on the other side, and it was loud enough that I could feel it, but where that log was, because it was just it started shredding this thing and I was just tearing this log apart. And I didn't realize what it was. Doing until the next morning because we went out and we saw that log that we drove in past, and I'm like, So I woke up the next morning, I'm telling my friends this. I'm like, did you hear all that commotion in the woods last night? And the folks that were way far off from us, they.

1:16:13 Were like, we didn't hear it. We all weird? Was you hollering in the middle of the night. And I got out of the ten eventually, and I don't know what it was. I'm hollering at this thing custard out and I got back and my time went to bed because it stopped. So I ended. The next morning, I was talking to my buddies or making coffee. I'm saying, you hear all that racket last night? The one couple said, all we heard was you. And then the dude in my truck said, I didn't hear anything until I got out of. My car to relieve. He went and got out to relieve himself, and he said he was squatting down the bush and something growled and. Him so loud. He felt it in his chest, and he said he scrambled back into his truck. He n't even wipe, he said, he just ran back into his truck. Locked up and that's all he really experienced. But he said, scared the willies out of him. And I was like, yeah, we were supposed to stay here then other night.

1:16:56 I'm like, I'm not. Staying here another night, guys. Me scared him, scared me, You guys, the stay of you one, I'm leaving. And so we got up out of there. And when we were driving the truck, he had down the an old, really old boxy for explorer, the Bronco ripoffs, And we were driving back down the mountain and two hundred feet down the road from where his car was parked was this big old rat and Sequoia logue and the thing was just shredded. It wasn't the way it was the day before. It's just torn to pieces. It's soft, it's not like what it take. I could have done it, but like why though, bears will do that, they'll look for grubs and stuff. But just with all that other weird activity. I don't know what it was, man, but we don't go back up there again anyway.

1:17:37 Oh my goodness, dude. Wow, this is such a wild area too. Just to the east of it and southeast of that area, things get crazy. In that yeah, if you know where like the Tokati Hot Springs are, I don't know if you can see it on you you've got a Google map open, Yeah, so look up the hot springs. So we're on the ridge just to the south east of that, on the southeast side of that ridge. Gotcha, there should be another creek that runs down on that southeast side if if you're looking. At the right the right hill. Yep. Goodness, Yeah, it's dense up there.

1:18:20 I appreciate you coming up and sharing that. Is that a story I would be able to share? I have a big Foot podcast? Would i'd be able to share. That on it? Yeah? Thanks for having me.

Anyways, there was nine of us sleeping outside on cots and not like about fifteen twenty feet away there was my uncle's garden. From the middle of night, I woke up and I heard something in the garden. It was eating, you could tell it was eating. And I reached over tapped my cousin who had a spotlight, and I told him, hey, man, when I say, now, spotlight the garden, he goes, okay, So he grabbed a spotlight.

1:20:00 I said, now he spotlighted it. Whatever it was stood up in the middle of the garden and took off running the other way on two lakes. So you tell me it wasn't a bear, and it was big and had dark hair. I'm not saying it was Bigfoot. Up in the mountains, they talked about Bigfoot all time. Yeah.

Counts like, yeah, you got to go up from Callahan and go up that way on the mountain eleven twelve miles maybe more. It's been a long time, but yeah, it's high out sude too.
