Season 1

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Steve Britt, an outdoorsman and adventurer who has spent years exploring some of the most remote landscapes in the country. From early encounters in the forests of Washington State to extended time deep in the mountains of southeast Oklahoma, Steve shares a journey shaped by patience, persistence, and repeated activity in places few people ever reach.


Spending weeks and months on private land far from regular human traffic, Steve describes unexplained sounds, deliberate interactions with objects, and moments that suggest awareness and intelligence watching from just beyond the treeline. As his time in these areas stretches on, the encounters grow more personal, culminating in sustained observations that left a lasting impact on how he understands the natural world.


Steve’s account is thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in firsthand experience, offering listeners a rare look at what can happen when someone stays long enough to be noticed. Join us as we explore Steve’s journey, the remote regions he traveled, and the mysteries that continue to draw him back into the wilderness.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
So settle in because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.560
So stay with us, all right, big for Society. You've

11
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.920
got the privilege of talking to mister Steve Brett today.

12
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.240
Steve is an outdoorsman and a adventurist down there in

13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.840
southeast Oklahoma. We'll be talking about that area today. He's

14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.159
also an author of his book is called Breakfast with Bigfoot,

15
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.399
and we'll be talking about that a little bit today

16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.960
as well. But welcome to this show, Steve. How are you?

17
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.200
Thank you? I'm doing good. Thank you for having me

18
00:00:59.280 --> 00:00:59.840
on the show.

19
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.840
And you've got a furry friend there next to you.

20
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:05.480
Watch on.

21
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:10.599
Yeah, I got Rocco. This is my there.

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.239
You go, hey, there's Rocco the Husky.

23
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.959
Very good so, but he's got a YouTube channel too, brilliant.

24
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.519
Oh my goodness, Well, off Road Adventure, Steve, how did

25
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:28.959
you get involved with with this bigfoot stuff to begin with?

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.760
Take us back to when this first started for you,

27
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.079
that you started having things in the happened in the

28
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.400
bigfoot field.

29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.480
Oh man, this has got to be way back in

30
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.920
the early seventies when I was a kid, you know,

31
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.519
when the Legends of Boggy Creek and all that stuff

32
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.599
came out, and I was pretty fascinated with all the

33
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.159
cryptid stuff, the Locknest Monster, you know, all that kind

34
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.159
of stuff. When I was a kid, National Inquirer was

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.040
like my favorite little thing to read. When I was

36
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.040
in line shopping with my mom. I was like anticipated

37
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.479
seeing the National inquir to see what they saw and

38
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:10.960
went while we were waiting in lane.

39
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.719
I like reading it, but.

40
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.879
I grew up in Oklahoma, and really, you know, I

41
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.439
didn't the Legend of Boggie Creek. Watched a lot of

42
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.840
stuff about Bigfoot and stuff like that, but no real

43
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.719
experiences there until we moved to Washington State. And then

44
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.840
this is up at the Olympic National rainforest and we

45
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.360
were right on the outskirts of it and had like

46
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.639
ten acres out there.

47
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.039
And we moved from Oklahoma to there.

48
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:48.560
We cleared some land and stuff and put our put

49
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.240
our house on it. My mom put had the house

50
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.960
put on it and stuff and everything.

51
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.199
It was pretty neat and I was.

52
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.479
Like eleven ten or eleven, And I mean the first thing,

53
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.560
it was like the first month we were there, something

54
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.199
was outside of squalling like crazy. And I had the

55
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.199
bedroom in the back of the house, and that night

56
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.360
I changed my bedroom to the front.

57
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.919
Of the house. You know, I made the decision.

58
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.599
I'm like, no, next morning I went slepting my mom's

59
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.400
room with her, and then I moved.

60
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.120
I moved my bed and.

61
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.520
We had some my My grandparents were park rangers at

62
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.840
Horseshoe Lake up in Washington State, and that was pretty awesome.

63
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.919
A lot of lot of good stuff happening up there,

64
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.439
but not really any bigfoot stuff other than her friend

65
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.919
their friends were park rangers as well, came and got

66
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.960
us one day and said they had something special for us,

67
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.680
So like right on, So we all loaded in the

68
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.800
back of the pickup truck and went over to their

69
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.680
park on the and on the other side of the lake,

70
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.879
and they took us on like maybe a two mile

71
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.520
hike down a trail and there was these trees that

72
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.960
were like six foot up and they were just twisted

73
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.280
like about so big around.

74
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:13.960
They were just twisted.

75
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.040
The tops of them were laid down and they were

76
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.199
stripped and there was like eight nine foot beds made.

77
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.560
It was crazy, and they were just you know, left there.

78
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.240
It was pretty neat looking, and the trees weren't cut

79
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.759
or anything. They were twisted off and you could see

80
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.240
that the trees on the ground were the pieces that

81
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.879
were twisted off, and that was pretty amazing.

82
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.680
So that kind of spiked it for me right there.

83
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.040
Steve, I want to jump in real quick just to

84
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.680
clarify something. Is this the same Horseshoe Lake that's over

85
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.680
by Mount Adams.

86
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:58.360
Uh? Yeah, I believe. So okay, yeah, very cool.

87
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:04.120
So just for listeners, so it's it's totally understandable that

88
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.360
you're seeing stuff over there, because I mean, my goodness,

89
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.600
we've talked about Mount Adams on the show. We've talked

90
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.120
about o'lally Lake Campground on the show. I mean it's

91
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.480
at Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Just just a wild wild area.

92
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.920
So yeah, but please continue, continue with your account.

93
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.399
Yeah, and that was really neat. So that really sparked,

94
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.160
you know, my interest with that. And but other than

95
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.439
a few creepy feelings, I really didn't have any other

96
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:47.879
experiences up until I started when I retired at like

97
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.759
about forty five, I started just taking off on my

98
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.879
motorcycle and camp in remote places and stuff like that.

99
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.680
And I lived in Florida at the time, so we

100
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.000
went all over the place in Florida. And I was

101
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.279
by myself out at a wildlife management area and camping,

102
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.279
and I was there for about three weeks. This was

103
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.519
right before the like COVID stuff started.

104
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:15.199
And.

105
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.360
Towards towards the end of the three weeks, like two

106
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.000
days before I had to leave because of the COVID stuff.

107
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.160
I was sleeping and I got woke up at like

108
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.040
four am with pebbles like hitting my tent and rolling down,

109
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.639
you know, and you could count the It was like

110
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.240
ten to twelve count before another pebble hit. And it

111
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.839
happened for about an hour. I laid there and listened

112
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.560
to it for about an hour just to see if

113
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.800
it faltered or did anything, and never did. And then

114
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.040
finally I'm like, hey, I'm sleeping in here. I'm trying

115
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.399
to go back, you know, and it stopped and I

116
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.399
woke up in the morning and when I came out,

117
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.000
it didn't rain, it wasn't wet out or anything.

118
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.800
There was no red.

119
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.439
There was a huge puddle, I'm talking a puddle by

120
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:17.560
my tent, wet spot, and I'm like, what the heck?

121
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:18.519
Everything was dry.

122
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.439
It was just a big wet spot by my tent,

123
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.800
and there was a stick at going through it. So

124
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.800
I picked up the stick just to you know, smell

125
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.240
what was It was p for sure, So something just

126
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.759
like left its mark right there. Because I would actually

127
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.360
in the middle of the night, I would pee in

128
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.120
a jug and then in the morning, I would like

129
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.639
pour it around my camping area, you know, on the outskirts.

130
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:45.120
How long.

131
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.920
It's just for coyotes and stuff like that. They're not

132
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.600
going to mess with you if they smell you know,

133
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.439
people urine mostly.

134
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.639
But that was pretty weird.

135
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.600
And then two days years later, they canceled all my

136
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.000
reservations and everything for doing anything. And that was like

137
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.439
the beginning of my journey when I just started everything

138
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:14.279
and they're like, nope, everything in Florida was canceled. So

139
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.240
I ended up going and staying with my aunt because

140
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.839
my uncle just passed away. And that started another journey,

141
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.199
which had a lot to do with this, because she

142
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.399
ended up passing away too, she got a brain tumor.

143
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:40.440
But we rented a suv and I drove her to

144
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.799
Arkansas or Kansas, to my cousins, to her daughters, and

145
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.600
stayed there for like a week. And she's like, just

146
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.600
take the car, do what you want. We got it

147
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.480
for another month, and so I took off and I

148
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.679
headed to Oklahoma, where my brother lived, and I.

149
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.840
Got family and stuff like.

150
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.879
That, and I went there, and that's kind of sparked

151
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:11.559
that because I enjoyed staying there and going around and

152
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.120
doing some things. And we visited this place called Coffee

153
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.039
Lake outside of Oklahoma City, and.

154
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:20.720
We were there.

155
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.840
It was about this time of year. It was chilly,

156
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.039
and it was toward the evening. Nobody was out there

157
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.519
and I was walking around it not a very big lake,

158
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.440
and my brother and his wife was still over by

159
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.240
the vehicles, which was on the other side of the lake,

160
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.840
and I hear every just it was weird from all

161
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:45.559
around me. I hear like murmuring, like somebody talking, people talking,

162
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.000
but I couldn't tell where exactly where it was coming from.

163
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.279
And I'm looking all over the place, and I'm thinking, like,

164
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:54.919
homeless camps out there.

165
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.759
That's the first thing to pop it into my head.

166
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.639
There's like a homeless camp out here, and I don't

167
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.120
want to stumble in on them, They're like. But then

168
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.879
I keep looking around and it's just coming from everywhere.

169
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:10.480
I couldn't tell where the murmuring, and it was loud,

170
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.720
you know, it was loud enough to but I couldn't

171
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.759
tell what they were saying or what was going on,

172
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.360
and I kind of freaked me out a little bit.

173
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.320
So I started walking back and I was like, Hey,

174
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.480
is that you guys? And nothing back. And I walked

175
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.519
up some more and I realized that they were still

176
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.200
up at the car, so they were a quarter mile

177
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.320
away from me, so there was no way it was

178
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.919
anything like that. So that was that was pretty awesome.

179
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.679
And then I, you know, when doing the research and

180
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.720
thinking about that stuff, a lot of people have heard

181
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.480
that type of murmuring, you know.

182
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.240
Oh yeah, I mean I have actually heard that myself,

183
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.360
and it's very very strange. I heard that in Iowa.

184
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.559
It's strange because you're constantly trying to listen as hard

185
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.440
as you can to try to get words out of it,

186
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:10.480
but there's you can't. There's you're not getting any English words.

187
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.639
It messes with your head. At least that's what I

188
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.519
experienced exactly. My first thought was, you know, where's it

189
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.320
coming from? Where's this coming from? And I could not.

190
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.320
It was just like every time I turned.

191
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.960
My head, you know, to see if it was coming

192
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.360
from that way, it was just like it was like

193
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:32.000
in my head more than it was out, you know,

194
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.080
in the air, and my ears picking it up. I

195
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.159
think that's what it felt like to me. But that

196
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:43.440
that was pretty neat. And I ended up going back

197
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:50.639
to Florida and getting my motorcycle, and a month later

198
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:55.159
I had I headed back to Oklahoma because it's just

199
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.519
like it was calling me, you know. I just like

200
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.480
I had to do it, and I didn't have nothing

201
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.320
else to do, so I just jumped on my bike

202
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.679
and headed to my brother's house.

203
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:05.200
Stayed there.

204
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.279
Ended up selling my motorcycle and buying a little four

205
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:13.720
wheel drive, and I found the Oklahoma Adventure Trail, sixteen

206
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:21.000
hundred miles of dirt roads that circumnavigates Oklahoma, and part

207
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.799
of this trail goes through the mountains of southeast Oklahoma,

208
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.279
and that's where everything happened, was right there.

209
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.320
It was pretty awesome.

210
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.960
And is that referring specifically to like the Kayam Cheese

211
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.600
down there?

212
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.080
Exactly the Kiamichi Mountains. And this was.

213
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.960
Like privately owned land that nobody has permission to go

214
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.559
out onto.

215
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.000
You know.

216
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:53.440
I had to do a lot of research in Flannagle

217
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:57.039
and kind of sort of to get out there on it.

218
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.519
But I ended up making friends with the owners and

219
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.639
the one guy that's out there that you know, kind

220
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.440
of maintains everything and keeps order, the sheriff of the

221
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:16.799
mountains up there, and that's in the book. It was

222
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.799
pretty cool. That guy was pretty cool. But there was

223
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.039
well there. They owned so many mountains. It was ridiculous

224
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:32.279
out there. It was great. But I found the area

225
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.320
that I wanted to go through and it was all

226
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.799
privately owned. So I found like forty acres that was

227
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.399
for sale out there. I got a hold of the

228
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.919
realtor company to get permission to go out there, and

229
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.840
then I had to call a couple other companies to

230
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.039
get permission to go out there, and I tracked down

231
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.200
the logging company that was out there and then talk

232
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.320
to them and they were like, oh yeah, not a problem,

233
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.679
you know, you can come out there. And then I

234
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.200
talked I tracked down the owners of the all the

235
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.360
property and they were like absolutely. If you're not you know,

236
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:09.600
hurting anything, you're not hunting, don't worry about it. And

237
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.720
so I went out there, started exploring everything and got

238
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.200
in you know, kind of good with the family and

239
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:19.840
with the guy that was out there, really good. Not

240
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.799
very many people out there. I traveled out there for

241
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.720
seven days. I took dirt roads and everything. Before I

242
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:33.039
even saw my first person. It was so remote and

243
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:38.039
I finally I talked to this guy finally, and that's

244
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:39.840
what I asked him. I'm like, that's the first thing

245
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.840
I want to ask, you know what, have you seen

246
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.039
any bigfoot, any weird stuff? And he's like, he's like, yeah,

247
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.080
I have. He said, one night, I heard a bunch

248
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.440
of ruckus at the feeder beside the barn, and I

249
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.480
came out there with a flashlight and there was three

250
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.480
three of them.

251
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.279
He said.

252
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.240
One of them was as tall, if not tall, taller

253
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.919
than the barn, which would have been like eight to

254
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.799
nine foot tall, and the second one was a little

255
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.799
shorter than the bar and he said, which would have

256
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.360
been about seven seven and a half. And then the

257
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.080
third one was about his size. And this guy was

258
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.240
maybe six two sixty three. And he said, I shine

259
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.399
a light right in the faces. And he said, they

260
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.159
weren't no bears. And he said, I know what a

261
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.200
bear looks like, and that was a that was a

262
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:32.320
person's face. He said, that was not a monkey. Weren't

263
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:32.720
a bear.

264
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.320
He said.

265
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.919
The biggest one snorted at him while the other two

266
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.200
backed up across the clearing and then went into the

267
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.039
tree line. And then the biggest one did the same thing,

268
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.960
and they just, you know, looked at each other. He

269
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.679
shined the flashlight right on it, and it looked at him

270
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.200
until it got to the tree line, snorted at him,

271
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.720
and then they disappeared.

272
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.120
And he's like, that is like the main experience I had.

273
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.720
He's like, I've had a few more experiences were something

274
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:09.840
snorted in my face, you know, in the pitch black

275
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.519
at night when I'm out there. He's like, but other

276
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.480
than that, you know, he's seen he did see he

277
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:22.960
saw an orb which his family and everybody's like, if

278
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.720
you see an orb, you just go the other way.

279
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.720
You don't even mess with it.

280
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:33.240
They were like, but go ahead, that's that's really interesting.

281
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.159
That's something I've actually never heard before. Did you ask

282
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.519
him why they learned to just go the other way?

283
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.960
No, big.

284
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.000
Old people like that A lot of times tell you

285
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.320
to do something and don't give you an explanation, and

286
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.000
that's kind.

287
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.639
Of how he had it.

288
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.480
You know, He's like, I never asked, and you know,

289
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.399
it's like, don't go in the tree line at night.

290
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.840
I never asked, and I don't want to know type thing.

291
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.319
And yes, on the other side of the mountain is

292
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.279
like a little community, and I'm probably totally giving away almost,

293
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.440
but if anybody goes up there, they're going to get

294
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:16.000
in trouble anyway, so they can't. But I drove around

295
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.799
there too to talk to some people on the other

296
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.559
side of that area. So right on the other side

297
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.839
of that mountain where he had his experience, there's a

298
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.319
little community. So I went driving around in there to

299
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.920
get to the downside of that, and I found a

300
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.119
guy that was he had a fire going, and it

301
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.400
was this time of year right here. He had a

302
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.440
fire going, and he was sitting out there and I

303
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.119
come driving up the little dirt road in my little

304
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:50.480
Chevy Tracker and he waves and I waved, and he's like, hey,

305
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.839
what's going on. He's like, he's like, nobody ever comes

306
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:58.480
up this road. He's like, he said, he said, you

307
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.160
want to sit, you know, and and.

308
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.200
It's in a while, and I'm like, hey, yeah.

309
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.559
So I got out and we started talking. And that's

310
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.279
one of the first things I asked. I asked about bigfoot,

311
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.559
you know, and if you had any experiences over here,

312
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.759
because on the other side of the mountain there's there's

313
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.119
a guy that saw three of them, and he's like absolutely.

314
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.359
He's like something comes.

315
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.720
Through here at like three or four o'clock in the

316
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:27.920
morning and slaps our rain barrel a couple times. He

317
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.440
and we just we just say hey, good morning and

318
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.279
go back to sleep, because it's just such a normal

319
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.599
thing now. And he also said that twice an ORB

320
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.880
came up his road and first he thought he thought

321
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.000
I was too at first, because nothing ever comes off

322
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.720
the road, you know, And it wasn't a road you

323
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.720
take a normal car up either. You had to have

324
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.039
a four wheel drive. And he said that he thought

325
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.000
it was like somebody on a motorcycle, but it was

326
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.160
so quiet, not making any noise, bouncing around. It was

327
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:05.319
just coming up his road. And the first one freaked

328
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.319
him out. He went in the house and he didn't

329
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.759
want to deal with it, and then he was out

330
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.559
there again, and this was like another year because they

331
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.440
had like the spot for a while. He said, this

332
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.839
orb come up the road, so he was going to

333
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.319
go out there and see what it is, you know,

334
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.640
And he walked out to the end of his little

335
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:31.279
driveway and started walking towards it, and it literally stopped

336
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.680
and went back the opposite way away from him until

337
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:40.519
it disappeared. So it yeah, he got in its way

338
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:47.599
and it stopped. And this is what he's saying, My goodness,

339
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.799
and all this is on that Adventure trail that you're

340
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.720
referring to. Yeah, this is all on that same along

341
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.640
the Oklahoma Adventure Trail, right on this mountain, the same

342
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.839
exact mountain. And when you're on top of this mountain,

343
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.960
you're like a compass. Anything like that just goes wacky.

344
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.519
It's just you can't get it north, south east or

345
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.759
west west reading at all on it unless you can

346
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.440
walk around and you got certain spots that it'll be okay,

347
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.359
but most spots on that mountain it just goes wacky.

348
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.119
It's pretty cool.

349
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:26.480
I wonder why that is. It's got to be some

350
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.160
kind of special metal or.

351
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.599
Something magnetic thing.

352
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:39.680
Yeah, And that I camped around there. I got permission

353
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:44.240
to camp around different spots to see if I could

354
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.079
experience anything. And I went and did a lot of hiking.

355
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.319
And I went back, over a period of two years

356
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.839
back and forth to Oklahoma City where I was staying,

357
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:55.440
and then i'd go out there for a few months.

358
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.200
And every time I went out there, I had some

359
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.240
kind of experience. Like the first one, I was hiking

360
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:09.880
and I see, I'm hiking a few miles from the

361
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:13.079
cabin in the middle of nowhere that nobody goes to,

362
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.000
you know, for years, twenty years or more, nobody's been

363
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:22.039
up in those areas and stuff. And I'm hiking this

364
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:28.839
cattle trail and I get up and there's a whole

365
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:32.720
bunch of pigs. So I freeze right there, and I'm

366
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.000
looking around to see if there's any big ones that's

367
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:37.640
going to be an issue if I got to jump

368
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.680
up climb a tree or something and be stuck up

369
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.079
a tree for the next hour, and there wasn't any

370
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.319
big ones, so I just kind of stopped my foot

371
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.039
and they all disappeared.

372
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.960
I'm like, okay, no problem.

373
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.200
So I go on another maybe twenty thirty yards and

374
00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.000
off to my right, about twenty thirty yards into the woods.

375
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.759
It's probably not even I'd say twenty thirty feet, because

376
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:04.000
it was.

377
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.319
It was right there.

378
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:10.839
A big old branch just snapped crack, and I took

379
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.440
that as a warning, Hey, I'd probably just scared off

380
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.799
its food or something. And I'm like, hey, okay, no problem.

381
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.720
I said, sorry, I turned around went back the other way,

382
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.400
and as I'm going back the other way, I just

383
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.519
turned around and followed the trail back, and about halfway back,

384
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.279
as I'm walking, there's a big old turkey feather in

385
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.279
the right in the middle of the trail, and I'm

386
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:39.559
like picking up. I'm like, hey, thank you, you know,

387
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.440
and I stick it in my hat and I kept walking.

388
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.119
And that was pretty neat. And then another time I

389
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:50.799
was down by the creek camping and I was exploring

390
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:56.799
around there and across the creek. I went a little

391
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:01.000
further than I normally go because I left out earlier

392
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.400
that morning, and I took a lunch with me and stuff,

393
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.880
and this is climbing rocks and it took a minute

394
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.880
to get back in there and a lot of energy,

395
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:16.440
and I had another one crack, big old crack, coming

396
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.440
from just inside the tree line at.

397
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.759
Me, and I'm like, okay, you know, I'm good with that.

398
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:28.319
And finally, after after doing this for like two years,

399
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.039
we get up to the top of this mountain and

400
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.759
there's a cabin up there that he used to live

401
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.279
in like twenty thirty years ago, and this is where

402
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.759
the experience was at, where he said the three were at,

403
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.319
and the tree line they backed into, you know. And

404
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.799
I said, I want a camp there, right there, and

405
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.759
they trusted me. Now, They're like, you're not going to

406
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.079
tear stuff up. And I helped put new screen around

407
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.480
the cabin and made it look like people lived there

408
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.319
and stuff, you know. So I did some work while

409
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.039
I was there, mode lawn.

410
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.400
Mode, the area of the grass area and stuff.

411
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:09.480
And I'm like, I want right there, and i want

412
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:12.759
nothing but that tree line that they backed into in

413
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.240
front of me.

414
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:14.519
That's that's all I want.

415
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:16.039
I want right there, and that's where I want to

416
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.240
camp and he's like, yeah, not a problem.

417
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:20.720
You know. He's like, you can go up there and camp.

418
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:27.240
And I was literally up there for three months from

419
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.359
let's see, yeah, May, June July. I was up there

420
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.359
from April to July, and it was like July sixth

421
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.000
the day I left, because it was like one hundred

422
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:40.880
and sixteen degrees it was so hot.

423
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.759
But I finally got up there.

424
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:50.039
My first experience with him was I woke up in

425
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.279
the middle of the night to go pee, like you know,

426
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.799
and I turned I had lights on my jeep that

427
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.079
I just flick a couple of switches in it lit

428
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:00.599
up the whole area. And then I had a nice bright,

429
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.359
aligant flashlight. Today, so like three o'clock in the morning,

430
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.559
it was a bright full moon, and I flicked all

431
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.160
my lights on and I go out and I'm shining

432
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.319
my light around just to see if I could see

433
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:18.359
any eye shines other than deer, and all of a sudden,

434
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:23.480
on the top of the feeder that wasn't that the

435
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:28.799
feeder that they were eating out of, on the top

436
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.079
of that feed or something slapped the top of it

437
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.680
four times. This is out in the middle of nowhere

438
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.680
that I know nobody's up there. There's no way anybody's

439
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.759
up there and private land, and I was just like,

440
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.319
I wasn't scared. I was just like, I just got

441
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.400
a birthday cake and there was a file in it

442
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.599
and I got out of jail.

443
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.640
I felt it was like, this is so awesome, you know.

444
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:02.519
And then I sat there about got my lawn chair

445
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.319
out and I back put my back to my my jeep,

446
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.319
and I sat there and I talked to him for

447
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.680
about thirty forty minutes, and then I went back to bed,

448
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:17.480
you know, And that was pretty neat. That was a

449
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.559
pretty neat experience. So whatever it was, you know, it's

450
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.039
forced perfect slaps on top of something. Nothing else is

451
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.240
going to do anything like that. Nothing has rhythm like that.

452
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.640
A deer is just going to rut something and same

453
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.079
with the same with a pig. It's just gonna, you know,

454
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:43.039
randomly do something. So after that, I knew they were

455
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:46.759
up there. So I found an old pickup truck that

456
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.880
was in the tree line, and I know you're not

457
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:54.440
supposed to do this, but I left crackers and I

458
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.960
left the crackers in there. Next day they're gone, Mike awesome.

459
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.160
So I left some more. I put a bunch of

460
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:07.519
dirt around the crackers on the hood, so if anything

461
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.640
walked up there, jumped up there, walked across it, landed

462
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.279
on it. You know, there was just a little spot

463
00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:18.519
where the crackers were. I would see footprints or something

464
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.279
of a bird or a you know, raccoon. Something, didn't it,

465
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:28.119
And the next day I was eager to check. I

466
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.200
went to go check the next morning and the crackers

467
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.640
were gone and the dirt wasn't disturbed at all. There

468
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.519
was no footprints, nothing on the dirt on the hood

469
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:38.400
of this old truck.

470
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.279
So I'm like, Okay, this is awesome. So this is good.

471
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:46.160
So something's coming in here. And so at the.

472
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.440
Same time, I was going slowly exploring a little bit

473
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:52.640
further out, a little bit further out towards the tree

474
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.279
line and stuff. But I haven't yet gone in that

475
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.200
tree line because I was waiting for an ATV.

476
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:01.279
Didn't want to walk.

477
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:03.799
Back in that back in that area, you know, I

478
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.359
wanted to take an ATV back there. So after about

479
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.720
being there for after this experience and being there for

480
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.319
about a week and a half two weeks, I finally

481
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.599
got the ATV that I got it running and everything

482
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.440
got it going, and I took that ATV and lunch

483
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.920
with me back into that area. And as I'm coming

484
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.480
back into that area, there's like this big brier patch.

485
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:34.039
It was like a dome and I couldn't see what

486
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.799
was behind it or anything. So I'm like slowly putting

487
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:39.480
around it so I can just like peek, and all

488
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.839
of a sudden, all this debris and everything just comes

489
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.839
out at me in my face, and I mean, I'm

490
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:46.079
like wiping it off of me.

491
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.640
It's just like stunned me.

492
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.400
I'm just like, ah, what the heck and whatever it

493
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.119
was that fast, you know, diversion boom, watch this, they're

494
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:56.799
in your face.

495
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.880
I'm out of here. So that's basically what it felt like.

496
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:05.119
You know, it was just a diversion and it was gone.

497
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.400
But I didn't feel threatened. At no time did I

498
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.759
feel like threatened. I've been in the woods where you

499
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.359
get chills up and down your spine in the back

500
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.200
of your neck, where it's like, uh, I'm getting I'm

501
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.240
getting in the car, I'm out of here, which actually

502
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:19.319
happened to me just.

503
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:21.759
Last night.

504
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:25.839
Yeah, at the cabin here in Georgia, because I'm in

505
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.720
Georgia right now.

506
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.480
In the foothills.

507
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.039
A friend of mine's got a cabin up there, and

508
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:33.920
we were up there, go up there once in a while,

509
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.279
you know, and just last night I had something like that.

510
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.480
But when I was there, at no time did I

511
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.559
feel that. I never felt threatened. I never felt scared.

512
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:49.200
I never got the wheellies. It was like a happy feeling,

513
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.000
I think because I maybe I gave them a happy

514
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.920
feeling from the beginning or something, so they gave it

515
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.799
back to me. I don't know, but I never once

516
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:01.240
felt threatened or scared or anything like that.

517
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.759
I just I felt at home and safe. It was.

518
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:09.960
It was weird, and but I went back up in

519
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.519
there and that happened, and I still because I didn't

520
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.960
really feel threatened or anything or feel scared. I just kept,

521
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:23.480
you know, exploring the area. I just went around and

522
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.119
it was about twenty acres back in there that was

523
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.519
fenced in, and I went around the fence and then

524
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.039
I kind of zigzagged through it just to see if

525
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:35.880
I could see what I could see, you know, and

526
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:41.960
it's pretty neat, but really nothing. And that was about

527
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.240
three quarters of the day just to cover all that.

528
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.079
So I went back and I did my thing like

529
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.759
I normally do. I had astronaut past I basically lived

530
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:56.400
off a smoothie astronaut paste though, and I went back

531
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.880
and I made me one of those, and I went

532
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.039
to start to drink it, and right from that spot

533
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:07.160
where that briar patches, right where they backed in that

534
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.200
he saw them back in.

535
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:10.400
It was a massive crack.

536
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:16.759
I mean, it was like a baseball bat breaking over

537
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.119
a baseball in a stadium. It was just so loud,

538
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.359
but you could you could basically clap your hand really loud.

539
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.440
And it sounded like a gunshot out there too. But

540
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:32.519
I'm not underplaying it. It was a massive crack. And

541
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.839
I know, from being out in the wilderness and knowing

542
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:39.160
how to survive and stuff, if you make noise and

543
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.880
you're a predator, you don't eat and if you make

544
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:46.279
noise in your prey, you get eaten. So usually they

545
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:49.079
don't make noises like that. So that was just a

546
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.279
warning saying, hey, you're in my area.

547
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:52.240
You know.

548
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.400
Never once did I hear any vocalizations. Maybe I did

549
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.720
towards the very very like last day, but I didn't

550
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.480
hear any vocalizations, no howls, no noises. They didn't bother

551
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:10.799
me at night, nothing bothered. But I had my jeep

552
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:12.799
set up. I had a jeep Cherokee, had it set

553
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.119
up where I could just climb in the back and

554
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.599
go to sleep, you know, And because I did not,

555
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.720
I to this day. If you catch me out somewhere

556
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.839
like that, I'm not gonna be sleeping in a tent.

557
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:28.519
There's You're not gonna get me in a tent.

558
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.400
No, No, is there a reason for that.

559
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:37.559
Yeah, because there's not. There's bad ones out there. There's

560
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.720
ones that do give you the willies. And I don't

561
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:44.440
want to be come across one of those and not

562
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:49.119
have access to my keys and my ignition and get

563
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:50.799
the heck out of there, you know. I don't want

564
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.559
to be in a little tent. Basically, last night, I

565
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:58.279
come out of the cabin and my dog normally gives

566
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.359
me trouble. He wants to run away and frolic and

567
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:03.359
be like, no, I'm not leaving the cabin. And this

568
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.319
was only eleven o'clock at night. He gets right in

569
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:12.799
the car, no problem, you know, And Rocko and I

570
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.640
thought that was kind of weird, and I was going

571
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:18.400
to go pee, and then all of a sudden, just

572
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:21.240
that up my spine in the back of my neck

573
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:25.319
just like whoa, you know, it was just I had

574
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.400
chills all over and some just told him get in

575
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.640
the car. So I got in the car and I

576
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.200
started driving off, and I still had that feeling driving

577
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.240
up and this is like, how long is a dirt road?

578
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.759
Like two miles miles dirt road, and it's not an

579
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:48.240
easy dirt road. And I'm driving down that in my

580
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:53.000
back hat is like wiggling making a noise, and I'm like, well, poop,

581
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.799
it's nunt shut all the way. So I get out

582
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.359
and as soon as I get out, I got that

583
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.240
same feeling again, and I'm like, right up the dirt

584
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.680
road a little bit, not very far, and I slam

585
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.159
my hats down harder, you know, and jump back in

586
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.519
the carrofast and got out of there. And then I

587
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.360
called at him. I was like, hey, some gave me

588
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.559
the hebgb's out there. You very locked the doors, don't

589
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:21.559
let don't let Bubba out. But yeah, but there I

590
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:24.840
never really felt at any time. I never felt unsafe

591
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:30.639
or and and yeah, and I'm not a crazy bold person.

592
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.239
It's just gonna look at the face of death and

593
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.880
fear and just haha.

594
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.679
No, so.

595
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.159
It was neat.

596
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.679
It's my goodness. There's there's a lot to take away

597
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:51.000
from the Oklahoma thing. One is sometimes you have to

598
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.920
do a lot of work just to get into a

599
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:57.280
certain area, and and the amount of work that you

600
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:02.079
did just talking to land donors and things of that nature,

601
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.639
I mean, hats off to you. That's probably the most

602
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.760
work I've ever heard anyone do to get to an area.

603
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:15.679
That's pretty cool. So that area that you were staying

604
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:19.679
for a while and you left the crackers out, was

605
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:24.199
there ever anything that showed up that you weren't expecting

606
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:28.280
to see any objects or anything after you left those

607
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.039
crackers out?

608
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.679
No, okay, that's the only thing.

609
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.360
Not that.

610
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:38.039
While I was hiking, of course, the turkey feather, and

611
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.679
then I left an apple half of an apple in

612
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.000
a tree while I was hiking a trail, and then

613
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.599
when I was walking back through, the apple was gone,

614
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:49.880
and there was a deer antler sitting in the trail

615
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:54.199
with a triangle rock that was pointing up another trail

616
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:57.480
that went into these briar bushes that there's no way

617
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:03.000
I could have walked through, you know, And I kind

618
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.039
of tried to. I'm like, Okay, you want me to

619
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:06.880
go that way, I'm going that way. It's like, no,

620
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.239
it's ain't happening. And I'm in my shorts and T shirt.

621
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.000
I'm not going through nothing, no briers, that's for sure.

622
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.960
But you're the only one out there for you said

623
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.039
a few months.

624
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:23.679
Oh yeah, longer than that, way longer than that. I mean,

625
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.400
I'm talking twenty years going up there. Other than somebody

626
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.880
passing through, which is like the main guy that checks

627
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.079
everything out, he might go up there once in a

628
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:39.679
while to get because the main well, there's a nice

629
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.000
well up there that pumps out some good water. Man

630
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.679
that water was so good and cold. I wouldn't have

631
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.880
survived without that water. It was awesome. But sometimes he

632
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.639
goes up there to get phill his barrel up if

633
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.639
something's up with his pump down there or the water

634
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.079
or something. But other than that, no, nobody's even authorized

635
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.559
to go up there, and it's leased out to this

636
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:06.639
one guy that for that doesn't deer hunt or anything,

637
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.360
so they lease it out to keep people.

638
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:12.880
Off of it. Stuff like that.

639
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.960
You know, they had to figure out ways to keep

640
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.039
people off their properties, and those properties were closest to

641
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.719
people that liked to ride their side by sides through,

642
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:27.360
so they had to take measures to And that's why

643
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:31.320
they like me being up there too, because I never

644
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.360
nobody ever came up there while I was up there,

645
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:36.119
but you know, I was more than ready to run

646
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.880
anybody off until MAT's I did find a deer blind

647
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:41.920
that wasn't supposed to be up there with a camera,

648
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.559
and we got the camera and checked out the SD

649
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:48.519
card and got the got what the guy looked like

650
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:52.760
and stuff like that, and then put his camera back

651
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:55.079
after we took a couple of pictures of us going.

652
00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:00.480
Hey, right exactly. Yeah, that's always fun to do. What

653
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.400
kind of animals were you seeing in that same area.

654
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:13.639
I've seen? Nope, you stay put. I've seen right off.

655
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.440
I saw a nice bobcat, nice little bobcat that was

656
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:24.960
pretty cool, and not a whole lot of stuff, you know,

657
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:30.559
mostly birds. In the evening as the sun was going down,

658
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.760
you could howl and all around you, I mean all

659
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.519
the coyotes would sound off, and pigs.

660
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.360
One night, let's see, I was.

661
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.159
There for a few This was in June, and the

662
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.920
wind actually changed directions that night for the first time

663
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.360
since I've been there. The wind changed directions, and I

664
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:55.159
guess everything in that area that was smelling me couldn't

665
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.000
smell me no more. So these big ol' hogs came

666
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.280
through that were the size of half the size.

667
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:03.480
Of my jeep. They were big.

668
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.800
I mean the grass was up to my waist and

669
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.199
these hogs I could see their back over the top

670
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:11.119
of the and.

671
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.000
Ope, there's Squirt, there's Bobba, and.

672
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:18.239
That looks like a different dog.

673
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:22.280
Yeah, he just jumped in. You know where it came from.

674
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:27.079
And where was I.

675
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.239
H you're talking about really big hogs.

676
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.079
Yeah, the big hogs came walking through. And that same

677
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:42.920
evening it was crazy. That same evening I saw a

678
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:48.159
coyote as well in the tree line and the next thing,

679
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:51.079
you know, the pack of coyotes was trying to take

680
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.519
down a little hog. And for about forty five minutes,

681
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.039
it was the worst noises you could I mean, the

682
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.280
coyotes going after the pigs, squeal and the bigger pigs,

683
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:05.760
you know, trying to break it up. And you know,

684
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:09.880
and it started over here and it ended up, you know,

685
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:12.159
back over this way, and then it was quiet.

686
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:14.440
Crazy.

687
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:18.079
I sat out there and listened to it. I'd take

688
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:20.320
a I had a lawn chair with like a mosquito

689
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.400
net that I'd put over me, and I could sit

690
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:26.679
out there. But every night at dusk, I mean, when

691
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:29.599
you wanted to be inside because of the mosquitoes anyway,

692
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:34.679
But I went in as soon as the sun went down,

693
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:40.519
and as soon as the sun came up, I came

694
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.360
out of my cheek. But otherwise I didn't explore at night.

695
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.440
I did not go out at night. That's that's not

696
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:50.679
something that you do. We did it once at midnight,

697
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.679
and I had this guy.

698
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:59.239
He's like, he's like, uh, what do you want to do?

699
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:00.440
You know where you go?

700
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:02.960
And I'm like, dude, I said, I want to go

701
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:11.639
to somewhere, somewhere at midnight where some nobody's been for

702
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.719
a long time. I said twenty plus years. He's like, well,

703
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:17.360
that'd be where I grew up. He's like, that'd be

704
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:25.840
ghost Holler. And I said, Okay, that's that's where you know.

705
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.519
Let's go there. He's like, oh yeah, we had some

706
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:35.360
weird stuff happen there. He's like some lady and some guy. Nope,

707
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.599
some guy was riding his horse through there one night

708
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:43.400
and a naked ghost lady jumped on the back of

709
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.960
his horse scared him so bad that he ran his

710
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:52.639
horse til it dropped, And yeah, I made it the

711
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:54.840
rest of the way home on foot or something like that,

712
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:58.599
and crazy story. But I'm like, yeah, that sounds like

713
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:00.400
a good spot to go for me, you know.

714
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.039
So but nothing really happened.

715
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:05.840
We sat out there and just listened and listened, and

716
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.360
it was pitch black. You couldn't see nothing, and we

717
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.199
just sat there for about an hour, maybe hour and

718
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:17.280
a half, and nothing, no noises, know, anything like that.

719
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:19.599
I tried to do a couple of tree knocks, but

720
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:25.440
that wasn't there thing, you know, I think they're all

721
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.280
kind of different.

722
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:31.440
But then there's that day. We're getting to it now,

723
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:35.280
we're getting to the juicy part. So that day it.

724
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:42.960
Rained, and this is probably this is in June. I'm

725
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:52.199
doing something. This is probably in June and late June.

726
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:59.400
This was three weeks before I left and all this time,

727
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.400
oh oh oh wait, well let's not talk about that yet.

728
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.519
We're going to get to the park where I didn't

729
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:10.519
leave food out one day. So I left food out

730
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:15.599
for like a week straight or so, and it was

731
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:18.440
all gone. And then one day I ran out of crackers.

732
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:20.480
I had to go back into town and get crackers,

733
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:24.320
and I'd leave bananas too. I left bananas and the

734
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:26.840
bananas were gone. So that's how I knew that it

735
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:30.880
wasn't a raccoon or a bird or something for sure,

736
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.159
because the bananas were gone. But I didn't leave anything.

737
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.320
And I did my hiking for the day, and I

738
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:43.880
get back to my camp and I made my astronaut

739
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:45.960
past and I go to drink it and there were

740
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.559
two slaps on top of the old pickup truck that

741
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:53.280
I would leave the food on, and I'm like that,

742
00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:57.840
I'm just excited, even more excited than the four slaps.

743
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.000
That was just awesome because I know nobody's up there,

744
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.039
and that's communication, whether it's like, give me some more

745
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:08.400
food or I'm gonna come over there and get it

746
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:12.119
or whatever. But it was slapping the table saying, hey,

747
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:14.360
where's my where's my crackers?

748
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:15.719
You know?

749
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.000
And I thought that was pretty awesome. So I'm like, okay, okay,

750
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.199
you know. So I went over there and I gave

751
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.800
and I left it. That's when I left the banana,

752
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.960
that's right, And because I didn't have any crackers, and

753
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.480
the next day it took the banana was gone, and

754
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:35.559
I went into town and got more crackers, and I

755
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.559
left crackers two more nights, and then I was like,

756
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.360
I'm not gonna leave them this night. I'most see if

757
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:44.039
it happens again. I didn't leave them the next afternoon

758
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:49.239
when I'm about to drink my smoothie, it's two slaps

759
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:51.280
on top of that sucker. It did it four times

760
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.599
to me that I did not leave anything out there,

761
00:44:55.039 --> 00:45:00.920
And that was so awesome, just to be communicated communication

762
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:07.360
with one any questions about that.

763
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.639
It's funny because I was actually just gonna ask you

764
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.920
if if you felt there had been any communication between

765
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:18.760
you and the bigfoot that are living out there, and

766
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:23.039
you pretty much just answered it, would you think that

767
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:26.480
would be the main communication that you experienced would be

768
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.400
the slaps when you didn't feed them that time.

769
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:35.000
Yes, the first night that they slapped four times on

770
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:35.639
the feeder.

771
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:36.519
I don't know why.

772
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.639
I don't know what was going on, But when I

773
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.159
walked around there the next day to that feed or

774
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.880
where it happened, all the grass was padded down everywhere

775
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:50.119
around that feeder. So something was going on around that feeder.

776
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:54.159
That's all I can figure. And when I shine the

777
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:56.920
flashlight over that way. It slapped at four times saying hey,

778
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:05.840
you know, and but that other than the trees breaking,

779
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:09.760
the branches breaking towards me, that's the only communication.

780
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:12.239
Toward till towards the end.

781
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:18.920
I think it mimicked because I the day before I left,

782
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.039
I said, hey, you haven't talked to me.

783
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:22.760
I'm out there. I talked to it every day.

784
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:26.119
I stood at the tree line, I walked around that area,

785
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:28.440
and I talked to the tree line every day like

786
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:33.719
it was a person. And on the last day that

787
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.480
I was there, second to last day, I was like, hey,

788
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:38.320
you know, I haven't heard you talk to me. I'd

789
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:41.320
like to hear your voice, you know, can you say

790
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:44.719
something to me? And about five minutes later, and this

791
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:47.840
wasn't a dust, just like two o'clock in the afternoon.

792
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.199
I heard a coyote.

793
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:57.599
Kind of call a pup whimper and a piggy snort

794
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:04.039
from over in that area, okay, And that kind of

795
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:10.119
freaked me out. I'm like, that's awesome. So it knows

796
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:12.400
what I'm saying, kind of sorder, but it can't say

797
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:17.360
it back. It just needs more. I can't wait to

798
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:20.320
go back up there, honest goodness, I'm I plan on

799
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:21.960
going back up there here pretty soon.

800
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:26.159
Was that the only sorry was that the only time

801
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:30.199
that you had requested them to do something like that. Yes,

802
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:36.000
I would, I would, which I'll see, I would. I

803
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:38.679
would be curious to see what would happen if you

804
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:39.440
did that again.

805
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.480
I absolutely ask it for something, Yeah, like I make

806
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:46.760
a noise or you know, I didn't even you know,

807
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.880
I would tell it when I would eat and it slapped.

808
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:52.360
The top of the food.

809
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.639
I was picking berries one night, and it slapped the

810
00:47:55.679 --> 00:48:00.760
top of the thing, the truck, and and I put

811
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.480
berries in a cup. I held it up and I said,

812
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:06.840
come on over here, you know, share some berries with me,

813
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:10.920
share some dinner with me, And that I requested that.

814
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:15.960
But that didn't happen, which would have been pretty awesome.

815
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:24.719
But you can, I guess understanda belie. But yeah, I know,

816
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:27.800
after that, I kind of kicked myself in the butt, going, man,

817
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.239
I should have been asking it to do stuff all

818
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:33.679
this time, you know, bring me something, something, you know something.

819
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.519
But yeah, that was the only time I really asked

820
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:39.960
it to talk to me, So let me hear your

821
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:48.039
voice and whatnot. But after the slaps and stuff. This

822
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:51.880
was about two weeks before I left. Right here, I'm

823
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:55.679
sitting in my jeep. It's raining like crazy, and it's

824
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:59.320
just a big rainstorm passing by. And about four o'clock,

825
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.239
five o'clock in the evening, the sun was hitting the

826
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:06.519
tree line. That tree line just perfect where the rain

827
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.440
was gone and it was bright out. So I was

828
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.039
just still sitting in my jeep, just watching the tree

829
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:15.119
line like I pretty much did every day. And I

830
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.199
see all the trees or green leaves are all moving independently.

831
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:26.239
I see something two big green things that are glowing

832
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.440
that would move real slow, and they didn't move.

833
00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:34.920
This way or this way. They just kept.

834
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:36.000
Steve you there.

835
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:51.840
Uh oh, I think we lost them.

836
00:49:51.880 --> 00:50:04.000
Hello Steve, oh man, now we're messed up.

837
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:05.440
That was weird.

838
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:07.920
When no, my phone overheated.

839
00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:10.800
Oh no, I have to go throw it in the snow.

840
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:18.119
Cool. It's the middle of winter here in my phone overheats. Wow.

841
00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:23.719
Figure, Yeah, okay, where was that at the green we

842
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:26.519
were we were at You had just put your hands

843
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:29.199
up because you were talking about like the green something

844
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:30.119
and then it froze.

845
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:31.039
Yeah.

846
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:37.760
So so I see these green things that don't waiver,

847
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:40.599
don't move with the leaves or anything, and it keeps.

848
00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:45.360
I see one, and then I see two, and then

849
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:48.840
it slowly goes I mean so slow, it goes back

850
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:51.239
and I only see what I mean. It's moving that

851
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:58.360
slow back and forth, so slow. And uh, I'm thinking, oh,

852
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.679
some boy, he's up in a tree stand over there

853
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.880
watching me. This is crazy because it looked like the

854
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:10.199
reflection of hearing. Let's see.

855
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:13.239
Like these glasses.

856
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.559
Okay, yeah, yeah, like that.

857
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:18.760
Greenish orange.

858
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:23.159
And I'm like, no way, somebody's up there, like watching

859
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:33.480
or something. And so in the house, he's got some rifles,

860
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:36.760
old rifles with rifle scopes and stuff like that, just

861
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.239
sitting in there, hanging up all the stuff. Been in

862
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:42.840
there for twenty years, undisturbed. He just moved to his

863
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:48.880
brother's house after his brother passed away. But anyways, I

864
00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:51.000
go get a scope. I pull a scope off of

865
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.599
one of the rifles because I don't want to point

866
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.400
a a rifle or anything or to move one of

867
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:57.840
his rifles. So I popped the scope off the rifle

868
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.480
and I went back out there and I zeroed in

869
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:02.159
on that.

870
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:06.360
And I could see it playing.

871
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:09.920
As as a day what it was, and I'm like

872
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:14.480
that's what the heck that that's not it's a person face.

873
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:21.800
Do you know who John Amos is? Like Good Times?

874
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:24.400
He's a football player.

875
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:30.880
You could you could google it and look him up.

876
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:35.199
Oh yeah, he's uh what else he's on coming to

877
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:37.039
America too, that old movie.

878
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:44.199
Yes, Yes, that that's the face. I saw that face

879
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:48.239
right there, except black, black, black, black, so black. It's

880
00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:52.920
just shiny black, beautiful shiny. You couldn't really see pores,

881
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:56.360
not really a porous, but I was close enough to

882
00:52:56.400 --> 00:53:01.280
see the poors if it had pors. Eyeballs were big

883
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:06.519
and greenish orange, and it had a big brow. And

884
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.159
then of course it had hair. And it had hair

885
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:13.760
like my dog. I mean, just like that nice, beautiful,

886
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:19.000
nice hair. And I'm just looking at it and I'm like,

887
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.800
you are the most beautifulest thing I have ever seen

888
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:23.719
in my life.

889
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:25.679
This is so awesome.

890
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:31.760
It had the cheekbones perfect with John Amos, same nose

891
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:33.119
a little bit wider.

892
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:36.599
The mouth was a picture of mouth like.

893
00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:39.119
The Thing or the Hulk, you know, kind of thick

894
00:53:39.320 --> 00:53:40.519
lips and wide.

895
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:45.679
It had that. It was just watching me.

896
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:48.159
We were just looking at each other, and it was

897
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:51.960
just as interested in me as I wasn't it.

898
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.920
I ended up naming it past. I followed its whole face.

899
00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:59.239
I can see its whole face, and I mean the

900
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:03.079
crows feet on the eyes right there.

901
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:05.559
I followed its arm. It was like in one of

902
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:07.159
those trees. So I followed its.

903
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.719
Arm, and it had beautiful fur, black black as could

904
00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:13.599
be black fur, and it wasn't matted. It was nice

905
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:17.360
like my dog's fur, basically. And I followed its arm

906
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:20.079
all the way down and it was hanging on to

907
00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:24.239
the tree with like three fingers, and I couldn't see

908
00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:27.280
its thumb, just hanging on with three fingers, and I

909
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.639
could see the wrinkles in the knuckles. I could see

910
00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:34.760
the fingernails as black under the fingernails, and it didn't

911
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:42.280
have long, pointy gnarl fingernails, had perfect fingernails and nice hands.

912
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.280
Actually they had nice, big black hands. It was black

913
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:49.920
and the first stopped at the wrist, which was weird,

914
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:53.039
but it kind of stopped at the wrist, and there

915
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.519
was I couldn't there was no fur on the back

916
00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:56.079
of the hand.

917
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:01.519
And I was there.

918
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:04.440
For like twenty minutes of squinting through this thing, and

919
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:08.199
I had to readjust and I readjusted and I came

920
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.719
back and I could actually see it now with my

921
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.079
eyes because I was talking to it, and it actually

922
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.760
came out a little further to where I could see

923
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:17.119
it with.

924
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:18.000
My eyeballs now.

925
00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:21.440
But I like to broke the scope out anyway just

926
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.840
to see everything was better. And something was across the chest,

927
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:30.400
something brownish was across the chest that I couldn't really

928
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:33.199
tell what it was or if it was foliage or

929
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:38.239
if it was what it was across the chest. And

930
00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:44.920
when I went back, it changed position and I could

931
00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:47.280
see the full hand in the thumb, five fingers in

932
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:50.519
the thumb, and I'm like, that is so awesome. This

933
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:55.800
is a big, old, perfect human hand. And this thing

934
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:58.679
has a human face. It does not not even close

935
00:55:58.719 --> 00:55:59.480
to a gorilla.

936
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:03.880
It's us. It's got a human face. And it was big.

937
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:06.840
It was pretty big.

938
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:12.840
We watched each other until the sun went down that

939
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:19.320
day and every single evening until I left, except one,

940
00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:26.760
because it was over here to my left, watching me,

941
00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:30.599
maybe wondering if it should approach me or something like that.

942
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:32.719
I feel if I would have stayed another month, it

943
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:36.000
probably would have approached me and been comfortable enough or something.

944
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:43.440
But every evening it was up there watching me, and

945
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:47.239
we watched each other every evening. And yes, I had

946
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:52.719
a six hundred time zoom digital camera and guess what,

947
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:56.800
it wouldn't focus on it no matter what I tried.

948
00:56:56.880 --> 00:56:59.199
I got video of it. It's on my YouTube channel

949
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:00.880
and you.

950
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:05.360
Can watch if honestly you can enhance it and stuff

951
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:07.960
like that. You could see the eyeballs and you can

952
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:11.039
see it, but you got to have some good equipment

953
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:14.760
to I mean, I've had a couple of people going,

954
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:18.599
I see it. That is awesome, and then like my

955
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:23.320
brother going, you know, you didn't get real footage there,

956
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:31.119
you know, but yeah, that was so awesome. I was

957
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.920
up there for three weeks like that, and we watched

958
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:41.400
each other every day. It ate crackers of bananas and about.

959
00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:45.880
It was really hot and I was pretty much filling

960
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:49.159
up a horse trough full of seventy two degree well

961
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:52.679
water and soaking in it just to bring my temperature

962
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.400
down and taking showers, you know, at the in the evening, and.

963
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:00.199
It was souly.

964
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.599
Sixth was the day I left, and probably July fourth

965
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.199
was the day it made those noises to me and stuff.

966
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:07.840
And then.

967
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:11.599
July fifth, it was up there in the tree again,

968
00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:15.639
same spot, and we sit there.

969
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:16.599
I talked to it.

970
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:20.119
I said, I stood at the tree at the fence line,

971
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:23.280
and you couldn't walk across the field because of the

972
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:24.760
grass and the jiggers.

973
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:27.639
If you don't know where tiggers are, I know.

974
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:31.679
Don't go to Oklahoma and walk through the grass in

975
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:34.840
the summertime, right because you're you're gonna have big old

976
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:38.480
whelps on you. So you stay out of the grass.

977
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:40.320
So the only way to get to it was going

978
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:42.440
through that tall grass. And it's just like I didn't

979
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:44.800
want to ride the ATV through it because they're gonna

980
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:50.679
get on me. And so I just stood at the fence,

981
00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:56.039
which was about forty yards you know, from it pretty close.

982
00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:59.559
I could see it fully every single day, but the

983
00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:04.480
cam would not focus on it. It would focus on trees, leaves,

984
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.400
everything else around it. But apparently the camera didn't know

985
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:08.039
what it was.

986
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:08.639
I don't know.

987
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:15.519
But no matter how many times I've posted the best

988
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:21.519
footage I had on my YouTube channel, but I tried

989
00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:24.800
every single day to focus on that thing, and the

990
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:27.679
camera wouldn't focus on it. It would get around it.

991
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:31.079
It would see its eyes and that type of thing.

992
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:34.400
But I could see it plain as day.

993
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.880
I mean it allowed me to actually see it in

994
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:41.119
the tree after that because I would just stand there

995
00:59:41.159 --> 00:59:44.960
and talk to it and tell it to come over basically,

996
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:51.519
And yeah, I just talked to it, but I never

997
00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:54.840
asked it other than to come over and have lunch

998
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.679
with me or you know, eat with me, you know,

999
00:59:58.159 --> 00:59:59.440
share some berries with me.

1000
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:01.440
Other than that, you know.

1001
01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:06.760
So apparently they're very they keep to themselves and their

1002
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:07.800
territorial But.

1003
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:10.960
Yeah, that's I mean, that was it.

1004
01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:13.760
And the only thing I could figure with the brown

1005
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:20.079
thing going across it looked furry, you know, and I

1006
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:24.280
was thinking that it was maybe an infant clinging onto

1007
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:31.039
her and maybe that was a female because every day

1008
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:36.960
that thing was on its chest in the same spot

1009
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:38.519
and I couldn't make it out.

1010
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:39.559
I didn't see a face.

1011
01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:45.679
Well I may have seen a face, but I can't

1012
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:46.599
say I did.

1013
01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:51.000
It didn't move, it just.

1014
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:56.920
Was there across the chest every day, so I can't

1015
01:00:56.920 --> 01:01:02.960
say what it was for sure, but it's for bigfoot

1016
01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:09.880
or you know, pat It was definitely most definitely prominent

1017
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:14.880
face everything every single day, intent on looking at me,

1018
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.079
watching everything I did, and that type of stuff, and

1019
01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:21.159
never once did I feel threatened.

1020
01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:23.039
At all.

1021
01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:28.760
And it did have greenish orange eyes that did not

1022
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:29.639
have red eyes.

1023
01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:37.639
Okay, it's absolutely incredible, Steve. So you mentioned you're going back.

1024
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:42.199
Do you have any plans of things you want to

1025
01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:44.639
do differently for when you go back next time?

1026
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.559
Not really, Yeah, I mean I think I pretty much. Yeah,

1027
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.280
I just want to get back up there and do

1028
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:54.880
exactly what I did hike and let him know that,

1029
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:58.360
you know, I'm not a threat. And every time I

1030
01:01:58.400 --> 01:02:00.480
come pulling up there, I'm going down the dirt road

1031
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:04.639
because it was at least fifteen miles from the closest

1032
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:08.159
little town. So you drive a highway and then you

1033
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:10.960
take a dirt road and then you hit another dirt

1034
01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:14.760
road that was like about fifteen miles or so. And

1035
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:16.679
every time I get close to the mountain, I would

1036
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:20.480
honk my horn. The dar dn't dr dart no, and

1037
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:25.440
I would do that saving a haircut thing. And every

1038
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:27.320
time I pull up there, I'd do that right when

1039
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.800
i'd get to the gate. And then if I would

1040
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:33.519
just be driving by that mountain, I would do the

1041
01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:39.039
same thing, the same honk. But yeah, it was just

1042
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:43.280
the most incredible experience, and I think just having that

1043
01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:50.119
experience unlock so much different things for me. It's just

1044
01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:54.079
incredible because once you see something like that, you.

1045
01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:56.639
I don't know.

1046
01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:59.679
I can't say be bold enough to say I know

1047
01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:03.800
this secrets of the universe, but man, I feel I

1048
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:05.320
know the secrets of the universe.

1049
01:03:06.239 --> 01:03:06.679
Honestly.

1050
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:10.119
It opened my mind to just what we are, why

1051
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:13.159
we're here, of what's going on. That's a whole different story.

1052
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:22.840
It's just it's just crazy how awesome I've I've felt.

1053
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:24.880
Ever since then.

1054
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:31.400
It's a fascinating account and the coolest thing. A lot

1055
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:35.079
of times you hear these accounts and it's like I

1056
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:38.360
can't go back or I won't go back, But the

1057
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:40.400
cool thing about it is that you are going back.

1058
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:42.480
That one really cool.

1059
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:43.760
And I've got them.

1060
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:48.000
Yeah, I say, it'll be interesting to see what happens

1061
01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:49.159
after you do go back.

1062
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:54.119
Absolutely, if it's kind of like going after seeing it,

1063
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:58.039
if they recognize me and that type of thing, or

1064
01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:01.800
anticipate me coming back or or whatnot, you know, that

1065
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:07.159
would be pretty awesome to see to know. And absolutely

1066
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.400
I can get back out there. There's not a problem

1067
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:14.800
with that. And I plan on getting back out there.

1068
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:19.639
And I wrote a short little introduction book to everything.

1069
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:32.199
That's probably like eighty ninety pages, and it explains from

1070
01:04:32.280 --> 01:04:36.199
my childhood up until this point what led me to

1071
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:39.960
that point right there, to see him to be up there,

1072
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:43.480
all the events in my life, kind of chain of

1073
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:44.760
events that led me to that.

1074
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:47.320
And yeah, that's.

1075
01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:49.559
Basically what the little introduction book is. And when I

1076
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:57.679
go back up there, it's going to be all about them.

1077
01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:55.920
For sure.

1078
01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:01.840
Absolutely, I'm going to have the link to that definitely

1079
01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:06.679
in the show notes or description of wherever people are

1080
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:10.079
watching or listening to this. But one last question I

1081
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:14.719
wanted to ask you, Steve, is how do electronic devices

1082
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:18.960
work up there? Do they ever have anything weird happen

1083
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:22.000
to them? Or pretty much just business as usual?

1084
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:28.400
No, I had actual one little spot that I could

1085
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:34.760
get cell phone, I could actually get a signal. But

1086
01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:38.639
other than that, no, nothing really weird happened in my

1087
01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:42.639
phones or cameras or electronic other than the I mean,

1088
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:47.320
the compass would go wacky up there, but my phone's

1089
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:50.559
never Like I mean, I've been in this spot where

1090
01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:55.880
uh yeah, okay, up on top of this one mountain.

1091
01:05:57.119 --> 01:06:01.400
This is in my videos on YouTube. I got the

1092
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:04.880
video camera and I'm I'm going back to this old

1093
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:08.719
cabin that's on top of this mountain that's on a

1094
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:13.639
really old trail by Three Sticks.

1095
01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:15.199
Monument in.

1096
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:19.960
Down in that area in the Caimage Mountains, and you

1097
01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:22.880
can drive to it Three Sticks Monument, but you can't

1098
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:27.239
drive back without a four wheel drive. I'm pretty sure

1099
01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:30.039
three Sticks monument. It's got to be Three Sticks monument, yes,

1100
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:33.639
And I went up there on my four wheel drive.

1101
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:36.039
I got some pictures and stuff of me being up

1102
01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:38.920
there too. But I went back into this cabin and

1103
01:06:39.039 --> 01:06:43.039
I'm like getting to the cabin and I'm like, hello,

1104
01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:44.800
anybody you know around here?

1105
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:45.800
And I hear.

1106
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:52.880
Like fingernails on a metal you know, keep and I'm

1107
01:06:52.880 --> 01:06:55.960
like that kind of like gave me the wheelies a

1108
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:58.840
little bit. And I'm like, hey, anybody here, And all

1109
01:06:58.840 --> 01:06:59.880
of a sudden, boom them up.

1110
01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:03.519
Camera goes dead full charge.

1111
01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:08.360
Yeah, my shut off. I'm like, what the heck? And like,

1112
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:10.159
what's going on? I try to turn it back on,

1113
01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:12.199
you know, it won't turn back on. And then I

1114
01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:15.400
walked back up a little ways try to turn it

1115
01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:17.760
back on because I didn't want my focus on the camera.

1116
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.039
While I'm standing by a cab and I don't know

1117
01:07:20.079 --> 01:07:23.440
what's it, you know, And it came back on and

1118
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:28.519
I had like red in the battery, so whatever, something

1119
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:30.880
drained in my battery of my camera. So I'm just

1120
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:34.679
like okay. And I actually walked up the road to

1121
01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:38.800
this place and I kind of had the heavy geevs

1122
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:42.880
at that time, like there's something here that doesn't want

1123
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:44.679
me here for sure, and it's going to do.

1124
01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:45.480
Something to me.

1125
01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:52.920
So I walked back and I had the camera pointing

1126
01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:53.679
I turned it on.

1127
01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:56.519
I had my phone or the camera.

1128
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:00.440
Pointing behind me as I was walking see if I

1129
01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:04.039
could anything you like, you know, popped out. Well I

1130
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:06.079
was walking back to my car. But that was kind

1131
01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:09.599
of a creepy moment. But in those areas now, I

1132
01:08:09.679 --> 01:08:13.719
never really had anything bad, creepy weird other than you know,

1133
01:08:13.800 --> 01:08:15.199
the experiences I talked.

1134
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:19.560
About, Okay, very interesting. I mean, Southeast Oklahoma is full

1135
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.119
of so much weirdness.

1136
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:22.159
It is.

1137
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:28.439
It absolutely is. I mean, there's a few other channels

1138
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:32.600
like you that are in Oklahoma, just out of Oklahoma,

1139
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:36.319
and there's some weird stuff that happens in Oklahoma and

1140
01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:38.600
people wouldn't think. So I've talked to a few game

1141
01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:41.520
wardens I know one personally up here and he's a

1142
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:45.319
younger guy and he's like no, He's like, no, there

1143
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:47.800
ain't nothing like that. And I'm like, oh, you just wait,

1144
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:52.640
just like there there is. You just wait because that's

1145
01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:54.760
the first thing I asked him. I'm like, yeah, any

1146
01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:58.960
experiences with Bigfoot? And he's like no, He's like, I

1147
01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:00.279
can't believe you asked me that.

1148
01:09:01.239 --> 01:09:05.560
And I'm like, oh, yeah, here's my book right exactly.

1149
01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:08.600
There you go. Oh my goodness, Steve, thank you so

1150
01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:13.119
much for sharing what you've experienced so far. And you know,

1151
01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:16.279
I just want to say again, listeners, you can check

1152
01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:20.000
out you can get Steve's book on Amazon, and the

1153
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:22.680
link to that is going to be in the description

1154
01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:26.279
or the show notes for the episode. But definitely keeping

1155
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:30.000
keep in touch, Steve. I would love to hear you

1156
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.199
know things continue to happen when you go back to

1157
01:09:32.239 --> 01:09:34.920
that property in the future. Would love to hear from you.

1158
01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:38.439
I can't you know, honestly, I can't wait, and I

1159
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:43.399
would figure by maybe not next spring, but next fall

1160
01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:48.000
I'll be out there, or actually, yeah, next spring I'll

1161
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:48.960
be out there for sure.

1162
01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:52.399
I'll be going back.

1163
01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:54.520
I'll be done what I'm doing around here because I'm

1164
01:09:54.600 --> 01:09:57.800
kind of investigating around here a little bit sure and

1165
01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:00.600
going and seeing stuff. Next weekend we're supposed to go

1166
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:05.239
out to the Nantasia National Forest, which is an old

1167
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:09.880
rainforest it hasn't been messed with for one hundreds of

1168
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:12.800
years or something in North Carolina. So that's going to

1169
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:13.840
be exciting.

1170
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:17.359
But awesome, good stuff. Well you might have to write

1171
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:20.199
a second book, who knows. But yeah, thank you so

1172
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:23.680
much for hanging out, Steve, and we'll be keeping in

1173
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:24.199
touch with you.

1174
01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:28.079
Oh yeah, thank you for the interview and everything else.

1175
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:30.680
Thanks a lot. This is awesome.

1176
01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:33.920
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1177
01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:37.199
around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I

1178
01:10:37.199 --> 01:10:40.079
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1179
01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:44.640
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

1180
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:48.239
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

1181
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:53.479
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summerfest is coming up July tenth through

1182
01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:57.279
the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be even

1183
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:01.159
better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll be

1184
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:04.319
one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll probably

1185
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:09.640
I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard

1186
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:15.760
anywhere else because let's just say, sometimes it's well, you

1187
01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:18.319
just gotta be there. We'll leave it that more about

1188
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:21.159
looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now check this out.

1189
01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:27.079
You may know Jason Kenzie from his documentary series Searching

1190
01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:31.359
for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can not only go

1191
01:11:31.479 --> 01:11:35.640
to the festival, but you can also sign up for

1192
01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:42.600
a track deep in the wild forest outside of Oakridge

1193
01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:47.680
with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot Spots to look for Bigfoot.

1194
01:11:48.039 --> 01:11:51.880
There's only eight spots to sign up for this, and yes,

1195
01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:55.560
this will also be filmed for the next chapter in

1196
01:11:55.600 --> 01:11:59.000
his documentary series, which is Searching for Sasquatch. This is

1197
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:01.640
a once in a lifetime It's just trust it's going

1198
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:06.479
to be a wild, wild experience. To get a ticket,

1199
01:12:06.880 --> 01:12:10.840

1200
01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:16.399

1201
01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:18.960
in order to get a two day pass for the

1202
01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:23.199
price of a one day pass. So thanks to Priscilla

1203
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:28.239
for giving me that code so that you guys can

1204
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:33.319
can get a little a little help with the cost there.

1205
01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:37.159
Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope to see you at the

1206
01:12:37.199 --> 01:12:41.319
booth in Oakridge this year we can talk about your encounter.

1207
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:43.920
Was able to talk to so many people last year

1208
01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:48.159
and the year before. It is an incredible time. You're

1209
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:49.960
not going to want to miss it, and I'll see

1210
01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:54.279
you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to

1211
01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:57.600
say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

1212
01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:01.520
If you're in the military, any brand or forces, and

1213
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:04.520
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

1214
01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:07.640
if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's

1215
01:13:07.640 --> 01:13:10.520
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

1216
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.079
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

1217
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:17.680
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

1218
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:20.880
and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

1219
01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:24.079
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

1220
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:28.039
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

1221
01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:32.399
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

1222
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:35.560
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

1223
01:13:35.640 --> 01:13:39.039
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

1224
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.960
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

1225
01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:46.319
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1226
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:49.359
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1227
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:52.880
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1228
01:13:53.560 --> 01:13:56.680
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA or

1229
01:13:56.720 --> 01:13:59.800
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public has

1230
01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:04.039
in then I want to talk to you, even if

1231
01:14:04.079 --> 01:14:09.159
it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at

1232

1233
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:17.119
been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone. You've

1234
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:20.159
got the story, We've got the mic.

1235
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:22.520
See you in the woods.

01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:33.960
the truth is often hiding just beyond the tree line.
