on with the show, all right, Big for Society. I've got the

11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.159
privilege of talking to Jerry today.
He reached out to me about some interesting

12
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.119
things that he's been experiencing in his
area down in Georgia over the years.

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.399
I'm really excited to hear what he
has to share tonight. So Jerry,

14
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.079
I'm going to go ahead and turn
it over to you and we'll start going

15
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.600
down this road. Thank you,
I thank you for having me. Well

16
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.159
up again. This goes back.
The first thing that ever happened to me

17
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.159
was probably about nineteen. This is
a property south of Rome, about thirty

18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.040
miles where Polk County and Harrelson County
border. It's a property it's been in

19
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.640
my family for a long time.
It's got a lake on it and had

20
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.879
had a little tang little cabin on
it years ago. Back then, this

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.319
area was very very rural, no
phone, well water. I mean,

22
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.000
it was very you know, little. Now it's not so much because people

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.799
built houses around the country, so
it's not like it was. It's still

24
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.560
very good. We were having a
fish fry out there one summer, and

25
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.959
again I was probably around five years
old. I think in my memory,

26
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.680
there was probably nine or ten people
there as kids and some adults and parents

27
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.560
and everything. And of course it
was just a little old old metal trailers

28
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.200
all the time. I had it
screen in front porch, and of course

29
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.200
the doors were opened, so it
was somewher. But it was a pretty

30
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:13.240
pleasant night and I was inside the
kitchen area with my mother and those old

31
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.879
timey trailers you could remember. This
one was like ten feet high. It

32
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.680
was very small, but I had
those crank out windows where the glass of

33
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.560
lot loothered. You know. The
pieces of glass were like maybe four inches

34
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.759
and they would kind of stacked and
they would flip out. You know what

35
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.439
I'm talking about. Okay, that's
the kind of window. This was right

36
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.280
there at the end of the den
area where it so on the far end.

37
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.080
It was probably I looked at it
not too many years ago. I

38
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.759
think it was like four feet wide
and maybe three feet high. Well,

39
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.240
I don't know why I looked over
there. Old lights were on and right

40
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.479
there in the bottom left corner of
that window, and there was black outside

41
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.000
of onto street like it just blackness. There was two set a pair of

42
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.840
two red eyes looking right at me, and I instantly said in to screaming.

43
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.800
And I can remember this just like
it was yesterday, and everybody came

44
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.319
in and said, you know,
what was going on? And of course

45
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.639
I being a child that young you
pointing and crying and everything, and of

46
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.960
course nobody saw it but me,
and I can still see it to this

47
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.360
day. I know what I saw. It was there, but I couldn't

48
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.479
see any kind of outline of a
head or anything like. It was just

49
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.360
those two red eyes and they were
it wasn't a bright red like a lie,

50
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.039
it was more a deeper red.
And of course my dad he was

51
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.960
all, come on, let me
show there's nothing out there. And he

52
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.479
picked me up and he was gonna
walk me outside into that darkness, and

53
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.680
I was terrified, and he did, and of course I buried my face

54
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.719
in his shoulder and it wasn't anything
there. But I've never forgotten that as

55
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.560
long as I lived. But at
that same property, like I say,

56
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.360
it's got a lake on it and
a whole lot of woods around it.

57
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.280
Dad used to stay out there sometimes
by hisself and fall the year and deer

58
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.800
hunt or take a fishing trip in
the spring or whatever. And he was

59
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:12.479
always talking about hearing a wildcat screaming
down around the skill way are of damn,

60
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.759
there's different parts out there, and
he said that over the years,

61
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.720
time and time again, you know, And I've been out there my entire

62
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.360
life, and I've never ever heard
that, so I don't. I mean,

63
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.399
I've heard people say they do scream
like that, but it's always stranged

64
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.040
me that I never heard it.
But he said they they did. Later

65
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.040
on about the I won't say this
was the mid seving, maybe around nineteen

66
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.040
cent or so. My older brother
stayed out there by hisself, and this

67
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.879
is the very same cabin I just
told you about what us all the eyes,

68
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.000
and he was it was a night
he was in the rocking chair up

69
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.439
front porch. I think he was, you know, just enjoying being alone

70
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.040
as a teenager. And I had
the lights on in the teaching her and

71
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.560
he's listening to some music, just
enjoying it. And he said, it

72
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.399
sounded like somebody just on the back
side of that metal trailer, somebody that

73
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:08.120
slacked it really fard just one time. And you know, all this kind

74
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.839
of stuff was like that was before
any kind of bigfoot shows came on TV

75
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.199
or anything, so you didn't hear
about stuff like that until, you know,

76
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.480
years later we get talking about,
of course what I saw when I

77
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:24.240
was a kid, so just strange
things like that from you know, back

78
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.199
in the seventies. You know,
Jerry, real real quick, before we

79
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.279
go past to thinking back to those
red eyes that you saw, how do

80
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:38.439
you remember how far apart those were? Looking back? And I said,

81
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.160
even though that has been about fifty
five years ago, well found about fifty

82
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.040
five. It's been over fifty years
since it happened. I would easily stay

83
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.480
four inches. Okay, that's how
vivid it is to my imagination. And

84
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:58.120
from where I was to where that
wall and that glass was was probably about

85
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.920
eight feet, so I was pretty
well. Like I said, I didn't

86
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.680
see any kind of facial features outline
of a head, just those eyes,

87
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.639
because it seemed like maybe they were
not right up against the glass, but

88
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.600
maybe a pulled back like a foot
away or so. But they were there.

89
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.279
I saw it. I mean I
thought about it and thought about it

90
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.600
my whole life and life. It
was there. It was nothing. There

91
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.439
was nothing in the kitchen that you
know, had those kind of lights.

92
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.720
I mean, they were there.
And so you're saying that those those eyes

93
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.120
right outside the window, how high
up would those have to ben? Is

94
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.399
that what you're saying when you said
eight feet? Well know, from where

95
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.839
I was standing in the kitchen next
to my mother when I turn and looked,

96
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.639
was about eight feet. Okay.
Now I did go back to that

97
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.680
place years later, and I took
some rough measurements to it. From the

98
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.160
ground to where those eyes where estly
they would have been, it was about

99
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.560
three and a half feet off the
ground. Interesting, but there was any

100
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.920
it was so far out, I
mean there wasn't any kind of stray dogs

101
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.639
or anything like that out there.
We didn't have a dog, so you

102
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.399
know, it wasn't anything you know
like that. Just we were out there

103
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.759
that whole weekend. I think there
have been a stray dog around. We

104
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.360
have seen it long before then.
Yeah, it almost makes you wonder if

105
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.079
if it was a big foot,
maybe it was more of a juvenile then

106
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.800
if it was you know that,
you know, not very high off the

107
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.399
ground, but still, I mean
that far apart for the eyes, that's

108
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.639
that's interesting. It was something I
will never forget. I've kind of written

109
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.360
everything down because there was so much
I will forget. Your thing is is

110
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.319
kind of happened over the years.
Years later. The next sidest thing that

111
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:54.519
happened to me was this was when
I was about twenty and I was married

112
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:01.480
and my wife was pregnant at the
time, And this was eight late fall

113
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.959
of that year, and my dad
was getting close to retirment at that time,

114
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.120
so he was actually living out there, but it was at a different

115
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.680
There was another cabin right up from
the first one I just told you about,

116
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.000
and it was one of those falled
time of the year when it was

117
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.199
really really cold, I think that
night we went have to visit with him.

118
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.120
It was between twenty twenty five degrees. It was really cold for some

119
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.920
reason. But anyway, we hadn't
it was early evening, it was only

120
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.799
dark, and of course, you
know, her belly was, you know,

121
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.600
stick it out from being pregnant.
She had about I think two months

122
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.919
ago before she gave birth to my
daughter. But anyway, we had had

123
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.279
supper or anything, and Adam and
sick and we were just it's only dark

124
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.559
outside in the lights on in the
cabin visit with my dad, when all

125
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.120
of a sudden, I felt like
I was burning, slapped up and some

126
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.559
of the worst cases of knowledge that
I ever felt in my life, and

127
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.159
all this just came out of from
where. Please take a minute to help

Inger for joining recently. If you

157
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.279
can join over at patreon dot com. Forward slash the big Foot Society.

158
00:11:18.279 --> 00:12:13.200
I'll see you there and again,
thanks for listening. Her and I can

159
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.440
get out here, we can tell
our stories. Maybe there's somebody else out

160
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.720
there listening it's too afraid to tell
their story. Maybe this will give them

161
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.720
the courage to come out. And
I feel so bad about it. Who

162
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.320
cares what anybody's thinks. I know
what I saw, I know what's out

163
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:48.399
there. That's all I care.
Please let people know, Please let them

164
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.399
know. If you ever see one
of these things, you need you tell

165
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.000
because if you don't, then shame
on you, you know, shame on

166
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:50.320
you. Wait there's more. Monster
Fest two is coming up soon and Beautiful

167
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.440

doing a live podcast. If you've ever
