Season 1

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Linda from northeastern Kansas, whose encounters span decades and stretch across the mountains of Montana, the forests of southeastern Oklahoma, the high country of Colorado, and the rolling Flint Hills of Kansas. Her journey began in childhood after a frightening mountain incident near Butte, Montana and a moment that changed how she viewed the famous Patterson-Gimlin film.


Linda shares her 1977 experience near Broken Bow, Oklahoma, where an overwhelming warning forced her to leave an isolated trail. Years later in Bailey, Colorado, she and her husband were awakened at 4:00 AM by a powerful vocalization rising from below their mountainside home. Near Pine Junction, she describes a whistle that answered her own from the trees.


Back in Kansas, the activity continued—wood knocks near a camper, unexplained footprints in winter ground, a towering shadow passing a window, and a long, distant Ohio howl echoing across the Flint Hills followed by chilling responses. While camping near a quiet lake, she encountered massive tree breaks and an X-shaped stick structure placed directly in front of her vehicle.


Linda also opens up about deeply personal experiences that shaped her understanding of these beings, touching on moments that felt protective, purposeful, and transformative.


This conversation moves through multiple states, landscapes, and seasons, weaving together firsthand encounters and reflections that build into something far bigger than a single sighting. Join us as we explore Linda’s lifelong journey and the enduring mystery of Sasquatch in the American heartland and beyond.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big for Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to 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
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.160
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.439
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society, Welcome

11
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.960
back to another episode. I've got the privilege of talking

12
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.640
to new friend Linda today. Welcome to the show, Linda,

13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:42.280
how are you doing?

14
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.320
Thanks? Jeremiah doing great. Thanks.

15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.280
Linda is a listener of the show and she has

16
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.439
an interesting history regarding Bigfoot. We'll probably be talking about

17
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.240
that in a few minutes, but she's experienced some things

18
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.879
as she's she's gone through life in areas that are

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.840
extremely active, and so we'll be talking about, you know,

20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.000
some things that she's experienced along the way, but anything

21
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.280
else that the listeners would need to know about you

22
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.319
before we get going, Linda.

23
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.439
Not particularly. I'm the oldest of six and I have

24
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.280
five brothers or all bow hunters in northeastern Kansas, and

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:27.640
so you know, we.

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.599
Grew up on the edge of a big city.

27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.760
And but we had woods behind our house and so

28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.359
we were outside all the time in that environment. So

29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:38.920
we've can't fished, hunted and.

30
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.599
All that stuff for ever.

31
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.239
And I'm not much of a hunter, but I fished before,

32
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.719
but it's not my deal. I just like, so I

33
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.359
had to find something, so this, this subject came up,

34
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:50.799
and this is what I got into.

35
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.640
Okay, So that that is a really good piece of information,

36
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.840
I think, because you know, you you also were probably

37
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.239
spending time out in the woods, and you're aware of

38
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.400
what kind of sounds are out in the woods and

39
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.240
what kind of things to expect or not to expect.

40
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.560
I would imagine, right, Yeah, we used to.

41
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.159
I used to find tracks, you know, in the creek

42
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.240
beds and follow them and you know, raccoon and I

43
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.879
would just rabbit tracks and just go out and just

44
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.400
play in the woods and hang out, and same for

45
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.520
bait with my brothers. Did that too.

46
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:29.960
I like that.

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.199
So, Linda, what would be your your first What was

48
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.120
your first introduction to the subject of Bigfoot do you think?

49
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.039
Well, my dad was watching The Patterson again when film

50
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.039
one afternoon when I walked into the living room and

51
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.080
I was after his attention, and I saw it was

52
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.840
really fixated, and I thought, what's he watching? And I

53
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.479
looked and I saw that on TV, and you know,

54
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.199
I formed a real quick opinion and it was all

55
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.439
wrong that with somebody in a suit. I said, what

56
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.439
are you doing, Dad, What are you watching that for?

57
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.479
He was a big skeptic. And he looked at me

58
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.680
with his big brown eyes and he said, I don't know.

59
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.159
And I thought, oh, my gosh, this thing could be real,

60
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.800
because he you know, for him to even consider it

61
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.840
was a big statement to me. So I became interested

62
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.080
then because I was curious. I thought, oh, well, if

63
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.039
he thinks this is real, I need to find out

64
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.199
more about it, you know. And so that was the beginning.

65
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.120
But that that's extremely interesting. So he was not sounded

66
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.479
like your dad was not an individual that was, you know,

67
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.400
really into maybe any other things that were you know,

68
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.840
paranormal or of the weird or anything like that.

69
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:54.080
Exactly years later, someone asked me, do you think your

70
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.240
dad saw something, and I thought, oh, no, you know,

71
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.960
I don't think so. Well, the more I thought about it,

72
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.560
then the more I remembered that when I was a

73
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.000
little girl, I had at that one time just one brother,

74
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.919
and I was probably ten and he was he would

75
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.519
have been eight. We were picnicking on the side of

76
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.879
a mountain near Butte, Montana, and my uncle Bob lived

77
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:26.279
in Butte. So Dad and Uncle Bob smelled something and

78
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.800
they thought it was a bear. So they went walking

79
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.399
down the side of this mountain. It was a meadow

80
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.199
that was kind of at a slope, and we could

81
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.600
watch him go down there. And there was a tree line,

82
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.959
you know, not too far from this meadow, and they

83
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.839
walked in that direction. Well, the next thing I remember

84
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.759
is Uncle Bob and Dad came running back up the

85
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.079
mountain side and the gun was over their head. It

86
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.240
was a run, you know, And so we took off

87
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.959
for the car. And my mother had broken her ankle

88
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.079
she was on crutches, and my little brother and you know,

89
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.759
we just we were too young to be responsible for

90
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.160
much of anything. We took off, you know, we ran,

91
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.480
We got to the car, and I you know, it's

92
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.360
funny how when you relive an experience like that, And

93
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.279
it was a number of years ago, but I remember

94
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.160
Dad being out of breath in the car, anxious, you know,

95
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.240
and I'm almost certain now I can recall that he

96
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.240
was having a conversation with my mother that there. You know,

97
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.360
he was sweating. You know that there was something, something

98
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.040
was not right. You know that that wasn't a bear,

99
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.600
and that they wouldn't tell us kids about it.

100
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:52.879
So yeah, okay, okay. Did you ever have a conversation

101
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.920
with your father later in life too, you know, something

102
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.360
to the effect of, like, hey, what happened that that

103
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.399
day out in Butte, Montana.

104
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.319
I wish that I had had, but I did not.

105
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.120
He didn't tell us about it, and it wasn't until

106
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.879
I was an adult. You know, he was gone by then.

107
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.279
You know that somebody said, did your dad see something?

108
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.639
It just would have never occurred to me that he had,

109
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.120
because in northeastern Kansas, it would have had to have

110
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.839
been on vacation, you would think, you know, because but

111
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.360
you just don't know what you don't know, you know,

112
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.279
But I never never came up. He wouldn't have talked

113
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.120
about it, and he was such a big skeptic on

114
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.120
most things that he didn't dare ask him anything like that,

115
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:34.600
you know.

116
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.839
So I know, not that it is extremely close to it,

117
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.759
but the Butte, Montana area. Talked to someone in Pony,

118
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:51.839
Montana a long time ago, and so that's kind of

119
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.720
a similar area, and they had a visual sighting where

120
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.319
I think they got chased in their car.

121
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.040
Yeah, they did.

122
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.439
So then, you know, so you had that early exposure

123
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.120
to the Patterson Gimlin film and then that kind of

124
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.680
you know, you're not really sure what happened that day

125
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:17.079
in Montana. What was your viewpoint on a bigfoot as

126
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.920
you grew up? Is it something that you forgot about

127
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.800
or is it always in the back of your mind.

128
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.800
Well, I think I forgot about it for a number

129
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:31.279
of years, you know, just got married and raised my

130
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.199
family and lived in Kansas. And let's see, it was

131
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.120
in seventy seven that we moved to Oklahoma, and we

132
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.399
moved just south of Broken Bow, and for southeastern Oklahoma

133
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.680
is a known hot spot, you know for sidings. But

134
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.720
at that time, there wasn't a whole lot of talk

135
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.959
about it, you know, and I wasn't thinking bigfoot back

136
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.800
in those days. But we would do a lot of

137
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.480
camping at Beavers Bence State Park, and we didn't have

138
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.000
any experiences. We were always in an RV kind of

139
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.879
tent camping, but in an area where there were a

140
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:14.240
lot of people. But one day it was a day

141
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.120
off for myself, I decided to take a solo hike,

142
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.800
and I had packed some things and was really excited

143
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.560
about being out by myself in the woods. Hadn't been

144
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.879
for a long walk in the nature for a long time,

145
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.519
just being a young mom, and I started walking. I

146
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.559
got about oh up a trail that was kind of

147
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.879
an isolated part of the park, and I thought, oh,

148
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.879
this will be nice. You know. It was a beautiful day.

149
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.000
And I walk and I'm going maybe two three hundred

150
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.159
feet from the vehicle, and I'm starting to appreciate the

151
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.559
nature of things. There was an armadillo scratching around in

152
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.320
the undergrowth. It's kind of neat, and I just kept walking.

153
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:02.559
But I hadn't gone very far when I started feeling

154
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.159
dread and I thought, what in the world. You know

155
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.159
that I'm not going to pay attention to that. You know,

156
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.120
I just must be feeling chicken because I'm out here

157
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.159
by myself or something. I'm not a chicken, and I

158
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:21.720
just kept walking. But I was getting this message that

159
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.799
I needed to turn around and go back to my car,

160
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.320
and I thought, huh, I'm not going to pay any

161
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.559
attention to that, and I kept walking and it became

162
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.399
more and more ominous and heavy, and pretty soon I

163
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.159
realized that I'm in remorse that I died and I'm

164
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.679
walking nobody ever found me again, and I thought, well,

165
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.480
this is crazy. You know, I'm going to turn around

166
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.759
and go back to the car. I guess I'm going home.

167
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.679
It was really scary. So I had a mind speak

168
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.600
episode in other words, which at that time nobody ever

169
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.799
talked about that kind of thing. And you know, we

170
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.840
lived in Oklahoma for a while, moved back to Kansas.

171
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.720
Didn't have any more episodes in Oklahoma at that time,

172
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:12.039
but later on, many years later, we moved to Colorado

173
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:17.480
and my mom and dad used to vacation in Park

174
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:23.200
County Bailey, Colorado, and so we went up to Bailey

175
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.159
because that was the old stopping grounds for vacations and

176
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.200
my dream was to buy a house up there, and

177
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.559
eventually we did buy a house in Bailey, and it

178
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:41.440
was on the side of a mountain we had about

179
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.440
two feet of flat space behind our foundation, and then

180
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.600
it was a drop off and there were ledges and

181
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.399
big boulders and it would go all the way down

182
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.720
about a quarter of a mile down the side of

183
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.000
this big mountain until you got to the river. And

184
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.279
so we had a two story home and our bedroom

185
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.679
was upstairs, and our bedroom was on that side of

186
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.919
the house where you could open your window and with

187
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.360
no thread of bears because you're on the second floor,

188
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.519
and you could hear the river at night. So that's

189
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.639
how we would sleep, even you know, it was spring time,

190
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.759
it was called outside. There was snow because you know,

191
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.799
Colorado springs are not warm, but we had our window open.

192
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.120
So at four am one night, as I'm laying there

193
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.679
and I don't know that my husband is awake and

194
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.759
he's just you know, I thought he was asleep, but

195
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:44.200
he was laying awake as well, we hear this loud,

196
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:54.519
very loud male voice say a word and it was oh, oh,

197
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:04.519
it was oh. It was a really mournful and it

198
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:09.000
came from down below the edge off the cliff side,

199
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.919
you know, and there was a flat space down there.

200
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.879
We kind of cleared it out and I'm kind of thinking,

201
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.200
now that's where that thing was at. I really do

202
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.879
think that it was a Sasquatch. It was a male voice,

203
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.440
but it was way too loud to be human. And

204
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.360
we told our friends at the Sasquatch Outpost about it

205
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.559
in Bailey, Jim and Daphney Myers. They're great and we

206
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.960
became good friends with Jim and Daphne. And of course

207
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.039
he's got a lot of good stories at the museum

208
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:46.320
there at the outpost. So the other experience that I

209
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.879
had in Bailey, I mean I knew of stories. You know.

210
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.879
The fireman had had a sighting on crow Hill, which

211
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.279
is the seven percent grade down and it comes around

212
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.639
the curve into Bailey if you're heading from Denver into Bailey,

213
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.600
but back east of crow Hill and to a place

214
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.919
called Pine Junction on two eighty five Highway. If you

215
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.840
go straight south, you'll go down the mountain and there's

216
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.960
a couple of lakes there, Bear Lake and Crystal Lake,

217
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:27.519
and it's absolutely beautiful. It's b e h R was

218
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.799
the spelling, I believe, and it's not a very well

219
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:34.279
known place, but it's maintained by the Forestry Department and

220
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.279
there's a huge cabin there that was built I think

221
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.480
back in the twenties or earlier than that, and it

222
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.919
was just amazing. It was beautiful. It had these big

223
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.279
cross timbers at the point at the top like this,

224
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:52.600
and it was abandoned but the Forestry Department maintained it

225
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.200
and gave tours of it occasionally. And there was a

226
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.960
gazebo where Missus Bear, the utility baron's wife would have

227
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:06.960
these Victorian parties and da da da. So we would

228
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:14.240
fish there and my ex husband was fishing and I

229
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.080
decided that I would go up the switchback. And there

230
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.000
was a trailhead right by this location. So he's on

231
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.600
this little deck or dock and he's fishing, and I

232
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.600
started up the trailhead and I did the switchback off

233
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.080
to the north, and then I came back and now

234
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.320
I'm about two hundred feet above him, and I decided

235
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.960
just to get his attention for fun and whistle. So

236
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.159
our horse whistle that we used in Kansas to call

237
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.200
the horses in was kind of a.

238
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.080
Like that.

239
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.360
And I was dry, I had no water with me,

240
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:53.360
and so when I went to whistle, I went and

241
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.440
it didn't come out right, and he didn't look up,

242
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:03.799
but something immediately whistled back at me. And I had

243
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.519
been in the woods enough to know to, you know,

244
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.120
to look around see what that was. It was too

245
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:14.399
loud to be a bird. It mimicked me. Birds in

246
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:19.559
that area don't usually do that. And I knew that

247
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.960
on that switchback that there was trail that went up ahead,

248
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.000
you know, up above me, and there was a ridge

249
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.559
up there, and that could have been out of sight there,

250
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.159
but it didn't sound like it came from up above.

251
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.519
It sounded like it came from straight ahead of me.

252
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.799
And where I was standing on this fairly wide trails

253
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.840
about three foot wide, there were trees down on the

254
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.279
slope and they were probably about six inches in diameter.

255
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.240
They weren't very big, and they were pine trees and

256
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.519
some aspens in there, and it seemed like all the

257
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.960
branches of these trees were at the same level. The

258
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.000
lowest branch was all the same level. See, there was

259
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.639
no undergrowth. You could see I could have seen something,

260
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.120
and I should have been able to have seen what

261
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:11.480
did that and I couldn't. And I that really freaked

262
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.759
me out, and I thought, this isn't normal. I'm going back.

263
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.080
So I walked down real quick and I didn't stop

264
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.960
at the fishing bank, and I went all the way

265
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.240
to the car and I hollered at him. I said,

266
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.039
we're leaving. You need to come with me. We're going home.

267
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.200
I don't like this. Something just whistled at me. And

268
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:34.240
what you know, Okay, he's a big skeptic. So that happened.

269
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.919
You know, that was kind of scary for me.

270
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.879
So that particular area, is that something where you shared

271
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:48.600
then with with Jim over at the outpost, that you'd

272
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.639
experience that, Yes, yeah, yeah.

273
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.679
I went to the outpost and he has a map

274
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:55.840
in the back where you can pin your sightings or

275
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.120
your encounters, and so I stuck a little pin in

276
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:05.039
pine where I was at. We were there for a

277
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:11.480
few years and then we moved back to Kansas and

278
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.680
we go on a let's see, I think I'm going

279
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.799
to try and take this in order. So there was

280
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.119
a time when I had to take my ex husband

281
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.519
to work and he dropped his he followed me. He

282
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.759
dropped his car off at the shop and then hopped

283
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.279
in my car and I took him on to work.

284
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.119
It was four am, and it was in February. It

285
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.799
was probably in the year twenty twenty one, and I

286
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.920
dropped him off, and I'm coming back down Highway twenty four,

287
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.039
which parallels I seventy in a way between Topeak and Manhattan.

288
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.559
And so I'm on twenty four and I'm I'm headed

289
00:17:54.920 --> 00:18:00.799
down this little highway and there's a corner filled off

290
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:06.000
to my right and my lights are shining out this way,

291
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.920
and I see movement in the ambient light off of

292
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.599
my beams, and I thought, what is that? It's a dog.

293
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:22.000
And I kept looking and I thought, well, it's it's

294
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.440
all it's all black. And then I noticed the eyes

295
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.960
which were slanted like this, and they were glowing gold,

296
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.880
and I thought, what in the world is that? And

297
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:37.240
it had a wolf space and.

298
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:42.279
It had two very pointed, pointed black ears on the

299
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.519
very edges of the of its head, you know, not here,

300
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.799
but like here, and it and the craziest thing about

301
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.359
it that was so scary.

302
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.880
Was it new that it was just very intelligent looking.

303
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.960
And it had a very intelligent look on its face.

304
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.839
It knew that it was not being seen because it

305
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.759
wasn't in the beams of the headlight. He knew I

306
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.200
couldn't see it. It was like I could tell what

307
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.759
he was thinking, which was weird. And I could see

308
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.799
it and it had a very sinister kind of look

309
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.480
on its face, like premeditated look on his face, murderous

310
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.400
look on its face. It didn't have a normal you know,

311
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.039
a coyote or a wolf or a dog, they don't

312
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.839
look like that, you know, even a wolf, they don't

313
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.839
look like that. They just look like a dog, or

314
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.119
like they have a relaxed face. You know, there was

315
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.119
no reason this thing didn't look like that. And its

316
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.000
legs were real spindly. It wasn't very big. It didn't

317
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.240
look big to me. But I'm in my car and

318
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.720
it's probably one hundred feet away from me, and it's

319
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.240
coming at an angle towards my car, but it you know,

320
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.759
not threatening me. And then it was probably headed to

321
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.920
the river, which was further down, you know, in that

322
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.279
direction it was going. So that was.

323
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:07.759
Scary, absolutely so to Peaka. Were you headed east towards

324
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.240
Kansas City. I'm not entirely familiar with where Manhattan.

325
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.880
Is A fair question. I was between. I was just

326
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:23.279
east of Wamego, so there's a bunch of little, tiny towns,

327
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.039
a bunch of little and I was headed back to

328
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.240
Wameigo area at an angle to hit ninety nine, so

329
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.359
I was going west from midpoint, I suppose between Topeko

330
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:39.559
and Tepeak and Manhattan, but north of I seventy so,

331
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.799
and then I would have had to get to ninety

332
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.960
nine and go south. So this is an interesting area.

333
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.759
I never expected to see all of this activity when

334
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.039
I lived. When we first moved back from Colorado to

335
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.240
live in our little town, we're in the Flint Hills,

336
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:06.440
and my mom was a little further east of us,

337
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.799
about twenty minutes, and we put our camper in her

338
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.839
driveway and plugged the camper in just to have our

339
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:21.000
own private space. And when we moved from Colorado, my

340
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.880
husband had just taken a job and in that area,

341
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.119
so we were looking for a house out in that area,

342
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.279
but we had our camper, so we stayed in our

343
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.880
camper and just plugged it in at mom's and I

344
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.200
was in visiting with my mom and my brother, and

345
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.440
it got delate and it was about ten thirty, so

346
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.400
I was headed outside to go to bed to the camper,

347
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.680
and I got to her deck and I clearly heard

348
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:52.160
a wood knock and I froze. I thought, here in

349
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.440
Kansas and so I froze. I thought, if I hear

350
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.799
another one of those, I'm going to the camper, you know,

351
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.079
like that's really going to protact you. But metal sides

352
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:08.279
are better than so sure enough, within a couple seconds,

353
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.599
you know there, and I know what was from that

354
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.200
direct It was opposite direction. So the first woodknock was

355
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:16.599
off to my left and the other woodknock was ahead

356
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:18.839
of me, off to the right, and I know that

357
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.799
there was a really nice pond over there and then

358
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.240
full of fish, turtles and frogs, because you you know,

359
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.720
usually you can hear them, and my mother had a

360
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.799
little pond on the other side of the camper, and

361
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:35.079
those frogs are usually really loud to well. Anyway, I

362
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.880
went to the camper and I tried to wake my

363
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.119
husband up and tell him, but he wasn't paying any attention.

364
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.160
And I got back the next day and we were

365
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.079
in the house, my mom, my brother, my husband is

366
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.319
my husband, and myself.

367
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.319
We're all sitting in this living room and.

368
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:00.960
I said, hey, guys, I heard two wood knocks out

369
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:06.440
in Mond's driveway last night. And my ex husband looks

370
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.279
at my brother, who my brother is six foot two,

371
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.559
he's about two sixty five and it's all upper body.

372
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:19.160
It's just a big guy. And he says to my brother, hey,

373
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:21.519
do you remember the other day I was asking you

374
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.599
if that was you that was walking past the camper,

375
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:30.079
and my brother said, yeah, that wasn't me. I was

376
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.240
in the house watching a movie and he said yeah.

377
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.440
But he goes, you know, he had the shades pulled

378
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.720
down this big picture window and the camper, and he

379
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.559
saw the silhouette walk past, so the shade, you know,

380
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.839
just the shadow of something walk past. Well, I measured

381
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.279
that window and it's the bottom of it's five foot

382
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.640
up in the air, and it's about a three foot window,

383
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.319
so for the head to be it would be like

384
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:57.119
seven foot, you know, up that high. And my brother's

385
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:01.359
not that big. So about that time, my brother says, well,

386
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.200
there's something around here, could be because he said I

387
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.880
heard something really big and heavy moving back behind the barn,

388
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:14.960
which is a metal barn. And then my mother said, well,

389
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.400
something was banging on the house. He said, knocking on

390
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.160
the door. Just I looked out and there weren't any

391
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.160
cars in the driveway, and there wasn't anybody down there

392
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:27.319
at the door, but something was knocking on the on

393
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.799
the door, So I'm like, well, this is kind of spooky.

394
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:37.920
So I noticed it was every March, you know, so

395
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.640
there would be some evidence. One year there was some

396
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.839
broken fish that that just a bunch of dead fish

397
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.480
in a circle in her yard where the camper had

398
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.960
been placed, and it had a bite out of the

399
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.680
middle of these fish.

400
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.839
How big was the bite in the fish?

401
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:04.240
Well, it was about like that, which would make it

402
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.759
like three inches because the fish were only about that big.

403
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:10.920
Got it? Okay?

404
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960
Interesting? And how big were the footprints? Would you estimate

405
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:17.119
footprints were?

406
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:23.480
Probably they weren't huge. They were kind of scruffed up

407
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.240
where you couldn't really get a good one, you know

408
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.480
where they were messed up.

409
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.640
Maybe twelve inches okay, was there a lot of space them?

410
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:39.799
Not real big. Yeah. We found another footprint in that

411
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.519
area one night that it was a different story, and

412
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.960
it was. It was very small. It was about eight

413
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.680
inches long and barefooted print in the middle of the

414
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.079
winter and an area real close to that. And that

415
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.680
was a time when my brother was taking the back

416
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:58.920
roads to my mom's and a dog ran up to

417
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.880
the truck and stopped and acted like he wanted help,

418
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.200
and my brother you know, thought, oh, this is the dog,

419
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:09.920
the stray dog. There's nobody out here. I'm just gonna

420
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:12.519
take this dog. So he reached over and picked up

421
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.480
the dog and put him in the back of the truck.

422
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.079
And when he did, he heard something grow from behind

423
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:22.680
the truck. And he carries a knife on him, and

424
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.079
he had his knife with him, and he looked back there,

425
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:28.759
but he didn't see anything. And he got in his

426
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.920
truck and went home. That dog was a really weird dog,

427
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.880
and he didn't last very long. He kept running off.

428
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.559
I don't know. It was just such a strange thing.

429
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.240
But we but my brother told me that story, so

430
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:41.559
I said, well, let's go look for prince. So we

431
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.640
went back the next morning and that's where we found

432
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.880
that eight inch print and barefooted.

433
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.440
You know, yeah, why would why would someone be barefoot

434
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.359
in the wintertime, especially in the Midwest.

435
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:57.640
Oh my goodness, it gets cold out here.

436
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:03.960
Yeah. Yeah, it gets really bitter and really bitter. Nobody

437
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.680
likes it. That's why you find so many overweight people

438
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:17.720
from mist they're all inside eating. Well, we had we

439
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:23.480
had that going on, so let's see. Then we start

440
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:29.359
camping at Lake Wabunsee, and why we While we're doing that,

441
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.759
I'm renovating the home that I'm living in. My house,

442
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.119
and it's an old Victorian. So I want to tell

443
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:40.200
you that story because I'm afraid I'm going to forget it.

444
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.119
This is like a drainage.

445
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:43.200
Area, you know.

446
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.240
This area drains into the Kansas River and it's part

447
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:52.599
of the Mill Creek and watershed. There are two watersheds

448
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.799
out here. I don't remember the name of the other, Wakarusa.

449
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.480
I think is these are Indian names, you know. So

450
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.279
I'm remodeling the house down here, and I would usually

451
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:11.720
go home about dusk and start dinner. And I went

452
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:16.079
home and I was there alone, and I had my

453
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.799
windows open. It was a beautiful day.

454
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:25.599
Spring and it's like seven thirty ish, and.

455
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:31.640
I clearly hear. Of course, let me explain. There's my house,

456
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.680
and there's this big backyard, and then it backs up

457
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.200
to farm land and the cattle are out there in

458
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.599
the pasture. And then there's a dirt road, and then

459
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.359
there's a cemetery, and then there's the Flint Hills which

460
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:47.039
go on forever, probably three hundred acres or more of

461
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.880
Flint Hills, which is a grassland, and you know, our

462
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.119
area is a lot more like Missouri than it is.

463
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:57.960
It's not Western Kansas, for everything's flat. And so I'm

464
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:02.440
in the living room and i hear and Ohio, how

465
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:09.640
plain as day? And I'm like, you have got to

466
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:14.559
be kidding me. And this was male, It was tenor,

467
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.880
it was a long way away. It was very loud

468
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.599
for me to be able to hear it, and you

469
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:22.720
could tell that there was a lot of distance in it.

470
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:24.920
But you knew it had to be loud for you

471
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.000
to hear it because I know what's out there.

472
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:27.039
You know.

473
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.200
And it went on forever, you know, It's like Bobo

474
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:38.000
Fey does his long Ohio how And then after it finished,

475
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:43.200
there were all these screams and they sounded female. They

476
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:47.799
sounded animalistic, and I can mimic. It helped me to

477
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.039
it was like, you.

478
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.599
Know, they're like.

479
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.599
Different and it felt like, you know, to me, it

480
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:58.119
told me it must be date night, right, you know,

481
00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.400
somebody's making there.

482
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:05.920
Yeah, right, your debut there you go, yeah, you never know, right,

483
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.200
that's that's some wild stuff.

484
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:13.359
That was crazy. I couldn't believe it. I just thought, Wow,

485
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.160
you know, southeastern Oklahoma, and I've got some more stories

486
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:20.640
about Oklahoma. I don't think I told you about being

487
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.200
at Honubby yet, so I'll have to go back to that.

488
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.480
But you know, in Kansas, you just don't hear that,

489
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.119
and you don't hear many stories out of Kansas.

490
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.039
I don't think I think that.

491
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.400
So the area you've been talking about, which is is

492
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.279
like northeast Kansas. Yeah, I think I've gotten like one

493
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:45.519
report from Perry Lake, Kansas where they saw something tall

494
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.920
and gray, about eight to nine feet tall, and that

495
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.519
was like around twenty ten. I get a lot of

496
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:54.079
stuff from just over the border, like north of Kansas City.

497
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:57.240
But yeah, I mean this is a lot of new

498
00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:59.200
stuff from the area that you're talking about.

499
00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.920
It's pretty cool.

500
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.440
Mm hmm. It's exciting, you know, to know that you

501
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.880
can go out there in the Martians coming up, you know,

502
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.000
and here it comes. It seems like that's the magic

503
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.759
month for these things. So we would take our camper

504
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:22.359
to Lake waban Sea and I have a tire cover

505
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.680
that's a sasquatch on the back of my camper, and

506
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.440
I noticed it was pretty it felt, oh, i'd like

507
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.839
at dusk, you know, I was noticing that before the

508
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:43.039
coyotes would start yipping. There was another sound and it

509
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:47.200
didn't sound like coyotes. It sounded like monkeys and trees

510
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:52.200
is what it sounded like. Kind of hoots, more of

511
00:31:52.200 --> 00:32:00.599
a hoot, you know, not owls. Just weird sounding and

512
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.279
stuff like that, you know, not like jungle. Did not

513
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:09.599
sound like coyotes at all. They can sound weird and

514
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.200
that would usually trigger them and they would start, you know,

515
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.480
their thing. And so I was recording that for the

516
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.200
heck of it, and my old phone is kind of toast,

517
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:21.680
but I think there's a little card and there might

518
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:23.200
be able to sneak some of that stuff off where

519
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:27.839
you can send it to you. One particular time, we

520
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:34.240
were camped there and the first we were there for

521
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:40.160
four nights, three three nights. So the first night there

522
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.680
was a huge tree break right behind our camper. We

523
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:49.079
were the only camper at the r V park because

524
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.400
it was early in the season and it's not a

525
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:57.119
very busy place. And the next morning I got up,

526
00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:58.880
I mean it was a it was a loud break.

527
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.319
It was very very loud, and it did not sound

528
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.279
like a wood knock. It was something breaking. It was

529
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.599
a huge tree breaking. And I looked at this huge

530
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:08.920
tree right by our camper the next morning, and I thought, okay,

531
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:13.200
where's the damage. And I couldn't see anything, and I thought, well,

532
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:19.119
something I know, I know what I heard. And a

533
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.359
couple of years maybe the next summer, I saw another

534
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.880
tree that I had missed that was across the street

535
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:31.319
and the top of a tree had been shoved into

536
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:37.000
the v of an existing tree and the brakes didn't match.

537
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.000
You know, there were limbs that were broken off, and

538
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:41.920
some of them laying on the ground and you might

539
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:43.480
be able to tell where that came from, but not

540
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.160
all of them had a place, you know, where they

541
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.119
came off. So I was noticing that. That was the

542
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.200
first night the tree break. The next day we go

543
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:58.160
for a walk and there was a crane beautiful bird

544
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:01.039
in the water and he was just, you know, peaceful

545
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.039
and walking in the shallows, and I thought, well, that's neat.

546
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:15.440
And then that night I hear this loud ah. It

547
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:17.639
wasn't and it sounded I was trying to sound like

548
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:23.480
an owl, but it said whoo instead of hood or

549
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:29.360
you know, I went woo. And then this bird just

550
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:33.760
got it. Something got that bird and it screamed. It

551
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:40.920
was awful, you know, horrific sounding. The next night, there's

552
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:46.239
this huge storm that comes and it's knocking the pictures

553
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.519
off the camper walls. We have a few, and it

554
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.039
was just rocking it and I'm googling to see what

555
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.800
kind of winds are gonna make my camper fall over.

556
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.400
We're dressed. I think, you know, we may have to

557
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.320
get out of here. It finally calms down, but I

558
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:05.400
know there's not going to be any activity that night.

559
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.320
And we were breaking down to go home the next morning,

560
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.920
and so Mike's husband says, there's a tree structure in

561
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:18.239
front of your car. And I said, I mean a

562
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:23.000
stick structure. I said, oh what, there's sticks in front

563
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.400
of your car. So I went out and looked and

564
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:29.280
there was this big X and each one of those

565
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.480
sticks they were identical, and they both had a V

566
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.320
at the top of them, and they were like this

567
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.280
across and right in front of my car on the grass,

568
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:40.920
and there weren't any other sticks around it. All.

569
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:50.440
Yeah, okay, yeah, wow, so and else, Yeah, you guys

570
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:52.199
were the only one that one's in there.

571
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:59.480
Right, wasn't anybody else there when I was staying with

572
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:03.480
my mom, you know, they're in that same area Her

573
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:06.320
house is really close to the lake. She's twenty minutes

574
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.000
east of it and I'm twenty minutes west of it.

575
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:18.320
This area seems to be kind of active. So I

576
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.719
was staying with her because she was sick, and she

577
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:23.960
I opened the back door to get some fresh air

578
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:26.719
and just to check the weather while I'm making coffee.

579
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:31.320
It was eight o'clock and there was one quail sound,

580
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.239
you know, they make that Bob White kind of sound,

581
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:39.119
and it was that whistle or whatever that is Bob White,

582
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.679
you know, and one that's it. It was like they

583
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.079
were warning that somebody was coming out that door, because

584
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:48.480
there's usually not any activity there. You know, Before my

585
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.320
brothers was staying there, she'd be there for months and

586
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:55.679
on end alone and people visiting, but so they're not

587
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:58.119
used to people living there and opening the door. And

588
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:02.599
the next morning there was another call. I can't remember

589
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.159
what it was. It was something like a bird whistle

590
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:11.159
or something. And I think it happened three mornings in

591
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:13.280
a row that. There was one time that I went

592
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.639
for a walk around or property and I heard one

593
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:18.480
owl hoot.

594
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:20.480
Yeah, that's that.

595
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.239
That's always weird when you hear that, like either the

596
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:29.000
one one vocalization or you hear it's like it's the

597
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.320
bird sound, but then at the end it turns into

598
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.280
like something different. That always is weird too.

599
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.159
I think if you try to prove this to yourself

600
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.400
and your own mind, you're looking for these things, you know,

601
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:44.119
and you start to see them and they may not

602
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.679
sound really exciting to other, but the compilation of all

603
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.480
of it together, you know, builds a story for me

604
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:56.519
and think, oh yeah. So we go to Oklahoma and

605
00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:02.639
we went to Honebi to the conference. Lyle Blackburn was there,

606
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.840
Ken Gerard was there, and it was a funny event.

607
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.119
The camp host were thirty minutes outside of the conference

608
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:18.320
area at a different RV park and there were lots

609
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:21.800
of campers there and the host invited us to go

610
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:27.639
and hang fruit and bait the trees for the sasquat.

611
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:33.239
And I'm thinking to myself, well, boy, you're brave. I

612
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.360
don't think i'd want a bunch of strangers putting fruit

613
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.840
in my trees. If this isn't active place because of

614
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:41.239
one nobody feeds them. You know, they're gonna be looking

615
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:46.239
to you and they're not going to be happy. So anyway,

616
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:48.559
but I think better, I think Oh, that's just kind

617
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:51.280
of silly. Just do it, you know whatever. So we

618
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.920
had some fruit cups and I had some bright red

619
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:57.159
yarn and we went. So to get to these trees,

620
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.199
you have to leave that area down a road, you

621
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.880
go over a bridge, you go off to the south,

622
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.519
you walk through a field, and then there's a tree

623
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:08.840
line and as soon as it's quite a ways away

624
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.440
from the camper, and we hung these things in the

625
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:18.159
tree and then I just made up a couple of whoops,

626
00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:22.360
you know, woo whoop, you know, like hi, knock, knock.

627
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.360
And we walked back and it was in the middle

628
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.800
of the day, and then I think we went to

629
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:33.400
back to the conference. Maybe as a break. We went

630
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.920
to the conference and we came back that night, and

631
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.920
of course our camper door's locked, and it's four in

632
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:44.679
the morning, and they came toward my camper and knocked back,

633
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:48.119
is what happened. That's how I take it. Four o'clock

634
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:57.159
in the morning. Wow, we're sound asleep, and boom boom

635
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:02.719
boom boo on the camper door. And I'm like, oh,

636
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.960
I woke up about the middle of the second knock.

637
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.119
You can hear. It's funny how you wake up, but

638
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:11.599
you realize that something's been happening while you were asleep.

639
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:16.239
You know. I had that realization, and I'm thinking, nobody

640
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:20.559
answers this door. You know, nobody answers this door. But

641
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.000
my ex husband was a big skeptic and he would

642
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:26.800
he would entertain danger all the time if he was

643
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.280
a little crazy, a little careless. In my opinion, it's

644
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.039
like no, no, no, no, you're not gonna get I thought, well,

645
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:34.039
you know, if I over my dead body, you're not

646
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:38.000
opening that door. You're not opening that door. And I'm like, no,

647
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:42.760
you're not, No, you're not. And he didn't. It wasn't

648
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.159
going to happen on my watch. And uh yeah, we

649
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:48.639
don't know. I didn't look for footprints. That would have

650
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:50.719
been a good thing. But that side of the camper

651
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.000
now leaks up their chores at the top of it,

652
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:54.079
and it was on the top.

653
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.360
So just so I make sure I have this right

654
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:01.159
on my side. So this was not on the festival grounds,

655
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.119
but this is a totally different area where it's a

656
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:13.639
RV park somewhere outside of Honabi, right, Okay, yeah, interesting, Yeah.

657
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:17.960
It was it was crazy. Oh and so that is

658
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.760
where the park happened where I got another mind speak,

659
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.480
and I think it's interesting that the mind speak just

660
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:31.840
happened in Oklahoma. Yeah, but it's possible that I might

661
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:39.920
have Cherokee heritage in my family. My grandfather's mother had

662
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.800
long black hair and a little round face and was

663
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:50.320
very pretty. And I've seen pictures and at one time

664
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:53.400
a car that had Cherokee Indians in it with the

665
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:57.159
big Cherokee hats with a big wide band a ball

666
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.760
due respect to the Native American Indians and first people's.

667
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:05.639
This car pulled up and my dad was only three,

668
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:08.960
but he ran down and peeked in the window, and

669
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.559
they were smoking cigars in this car, and they were

670
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.639
all there to see my grandmother. So that we think

671
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:18.480
that there's a tie there, of course, in the Kaimichi's

672
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:21.920
in the Wachita National Forest, you know, in Oklahoma, it's

673
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:23.760
not too far from the area of the Trail of

674
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:27.280
Tears where the Cherokee Indians and the chalk Taws, you know,

675
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:34.920
had to make that horrible pilgrimage, so tragic and terrible.

676
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:40.079
So I decide that I am going to go to

677
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.519
the showerhouse and shower, and once I got inside that building,

678
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.480
I was able just to lock the entire door because

679
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:53.800
there's nobody there, and Hare's in a towel, you know,

680
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:59.400
got my sweats on. I start hearing a female voice

681
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:03.519
and she starts reassuring me, and so in my head

682
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:08.719
and I don't know who it is, but she sounds older,

683
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:14.519
she sounds Native American, and she very kindly starts telling

684
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:17.880
me that I've done enough for everybody that I need to,

685
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:24.800
you know, just relax, have peace, Stop trying so hard,

686
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:28.119
working so hard all the time to make everybody half,

687
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.880
which is what I've always done all my life. And

688
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:36.840
it went on for twenty minutes. It was great, and

689
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.599
I was a whole different person when I walked out

690
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:43.159
of that building. And we went to the conference again,

691
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:45.480
because it's a couple of days, you know, And I

692
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:47.840
talked to the to the conference, one of the conference

693
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.920
leaders about it, and he said something about he's heard

694
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:57.480
other people visitors at the conference tell him that the

695
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:04.079
Woman of the Woods to them. Oh wow. So I

696
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:08.800
thought that was interesting, not necessarily Bigfoot related maybe, but

697
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:13.199
the interesting thing about it was that my curiosity for

698
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:18.320
the sausquatch and the entire genre was completely satisfied at

699
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:23.519
that point. It was like I had absolutely I was always,

700
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.760
you know, excited about it and wondering about it, and

701
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:30.039
at that point it was just I could have never

702
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:31.920
picked it up again and I would have been just fine.

703
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.639
I mean, it's it was odd because it satisfied my

704
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:37.360
curiosity about.

705
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:40.440
That is extremely interesting.

706
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:44.159
So you I mean, from what I'm hearing it, it

707
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:46.440
really put you at peace with everything.

708
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.840
M h. It lasted for a long time, over a month.

709
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.239
It just really Yeah, it was very impactful.

710
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:05.960
So I don't know, man, it would be really even

711
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:10.199
if you have to tell me off air, it would

712
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:15.199
be interesting to know what that campground was. I have,

713
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.840
I have a feeling I have I know where the

714
00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:19.440
area is.

715
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.920
Oh, I just oh neat. I think it's you know,

716
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:29.519
if I could just remember, Yeah, I want to say

717
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.360
Honobia all day long, but it's Honbby. But I was

718
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:34.719
schooled on that when I was down there and there's

719
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:40.039
a little store there. There's a little store there, and

720
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:42.719
I know we drove for thirty minutes and I'm thinking

721
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.599
that it would have been from the conference center. I

722
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:50.280
want to say it was south, but it was on

723
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:52.960
the same highway. It's a straight shot.

724
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:54.639
Cool.

725
00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:02.440
Yeah, Yeah, it was pretty cool. So was it.

726
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:06.239
Different than the mind speak that you had gotten in

727
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:07.199
seventy seven?

728
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:16.360
It really was. This was welcoming and reassuring and kind

729
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:22.239
and intended for a good purpose, you know. It was positive.

730
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.239
And the other was get out and get out now

731
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:28.079
run for it, don't you know? You don't need to

732
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:33.000
be here and fore voting and oppressive and ominous that

733
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:37.800
other voice. And it really surprised me because I I

734
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:41.199
didn't I didn't want to leave, you know, I didn't

735
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:47.679
want to leave, but I did. And so, yeah, being

736
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:51.639
here in this little town, it's a very antique town.

737
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:55.519
You know, it's a neat community. It's almost like a

738
00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.280
Mayberry in a way, but it's very old and so

739
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:03.480
there are some supernatural things that go on here. I

740
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:08.039
don't know if you're interested in that or no, here

741
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.239
back in Kansas, in my house here where I live now, I've.

742
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:15.360
Oh, okay, sorry, sorry, So I mean it is a

743
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.840
thing where you see that come up a lot? Where

744
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.039
if is that a thing where you think it might

745
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.679
be connected to the Bigfoot interactions you've had or what

746
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:26.480
are your thoughts on that?

747
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:27.840
Well?

748
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:33.679
I was watching a podcast one evening and this man

749
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.320
was going to tell his bigfoot experience, and then he

750
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:41.079
was the host was letting everybody know that at the

751
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:43.880
end of that he was going to go off topic

752
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.840
a little bit and talk about his paranormal experiences. And

753
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:51.360
I thought to myself, well, I'm not going to watch

754
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.320
that part of it because I don't want to have

755
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.719
any nightmares. I tend to have nightmares, you know, if

756
00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:03.000
I get anything to involved in anything that's dark like that.

757
00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:05.360
You know, I didn't want to think about that. And

758
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:06.880
I made a comment on there, I don't want to

759
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:10.000
have any bad dreams, like a flash dream or something scary.

760
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.960
So I'm gonna stop watching this. And I listened to

761
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.400
his bigfoot encounter, and then I listened to maybe two

762
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:19.400
minutes of the rest of it, and I shut it

763
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.840
off and I just put it out there. I said,

764
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:26.320
you know, Boysure would like I was by myself, but

765
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:28.719
I'm just thinking, boy Ascher would like to have a

766
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.960
bigfoot encounter, you know, I sure would like to see one.

767
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:34.159
I want to see one. And I hear this little

768
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:37.199
voice saying to me, the creator won't let us show

769
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:44.119
ourselves to you. Really, But I'm in my living room

770
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:46.960
and I'm like, so, I think that there is a

771
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:49.719
spiritual side of this. I think that, yes, they're flesh

772
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:52.039
and blood, but I think that there's just like human

773
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.719
beings are flesh and blood, we also have other aspects,

774
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:59.880
you know. And so I heard that, and I'm a

775
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:05.079
very spiritual person. I'm a very strong Christian person, and

776
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:07.079
I have the Holy Spirit in me, and you know,

777
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.280
so I thought, well, I'll just go to bed. So

778
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.440
I went to bed, and sure enough, I had one

779
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.320
of those nightmares and I had a big foot standing

780
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:24.000
next to my bedside. I woke up screaming, swinging my

781
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:29.119
fists through it. That that's how I woke up.

782
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:33.840
So that's interesting. So you've reached out to him. They said, hey,

783
00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:37.039
we can't show yourself, but then you're saying it's the

784
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:40.079
same later that day, then you have that dream.

785
00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:41.760
Mm hmmm.

786
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.199
So they couldn't show themselves to me in the natural,

787
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:51.480
but you know, in a dream. And I don't want

788
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.079
to go through that again. He wasn't trying to hurt

789
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.239
me or anything. I saw him. I was wanting a

790
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:02.320
road crossing. I didn't want to bedside anyway, you know.

791
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:07.000
And it's really interesting because I've talked to people where

792
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:13.159
they have had visual encounters in their in their bedroom

793
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.440
less something has actually appeared and then disappeared. And that

794
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:22.480
was up in northern Ontario at a place that has

795
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:26.320
a lot of quarts a lot of crystals, And I

796
00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:29.039
don't know, it seems like there might be a connection

797
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:31.880
there where. If there's locations where there's a lot of

798
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:35.159
quartz a lot of crystals, that can I mean, weird,

799
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:38.719
weird stuff can happen, like I mean, just just east

800
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.519
of where you were talking about in Ho Nubby in Mina, Arkansas,

801
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.840
where there's a ton of crystals in the ground. I've

802
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.239
talked to a person where they had a they were

803
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:51.800
sitting in a van and one appeared inside the van

804
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.760
next to them and then just flipped out really weird stuff.

805
00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:58.519
They were sitting in what they were.

806
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:02.920
Sitting in like a in a and one just appeared

807
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:05.440
inside the van with him and then it was like

808
00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:08.400
boom gone. I was like, Oh my goodness, this is weird.

809
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:14.000
It's so it's so weird that I recommend that if

810
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.519
you are going to get into it, you need to

811
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.679
figure out what it is that you trust in to

812
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.840
keep yourself safe and to keep yourself sane. You know

813
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:28.199
what I mean, yeah.

814
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:30.440
I do. Yeah, I'm I don't go there anymore with that,

815
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:34.800
you know, I'm just like, eh, okay, there's it's out there.

816
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.599
There's something to that, but I'll probably never figure it out.

817
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.159
And it seemed like the more that I was getting

818
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.039
into the subject, the more it was showing itself to

819
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.440
me in a way. You know. It's like it was

820
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:47.400
at Moms, it was at the lake, and it was

821
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:53.039
in Hona me and you know, and and I honestly

822
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:54.599
got to the point where I thought, well, I'm going

823
00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:56.800
to have to back away from this subject for a while.

824
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.519
It's I'm getting too close to it or it's getting

825
00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:03.559
too close to me. It was a weird thing, and

826
00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:05.440
I just have a piece about it now. I'm fine,

827
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:10.119
you know, it's okay, okay, But it is very interesting,

828
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:11.239
isn't it.

829
00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:12.960
Oh, it's so much.

830
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:16.159
Is so you're at the point now where you know

831
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:20.000
you're okay with it. Stuff happens, it's whatever. Do you

832
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:23.960
think that that might be related to the piece that

833
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.800
you felt down in Oklahoma or what are your thoughts

834
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:28.039
on that?

835
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:29.360
Well?

836
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:33.679
I think so, you know, when we examine our lives

837
00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:36.719
and there's so many different aspects and you have ups

838
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:40.960
and downs, and life gets busy and things just I

839
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:44.400
think to keep it in perspective is good. So I

840
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:48.280
try to do that, and I appreciate the fact that

841
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:51.599
there are things that we don't understand, you know, may

842
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:52.000
never know.

843
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:55.440
Oh, I agree with you.

844
00:52:55.519 --> 00:52:55.960
I mean.

845
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:01.360
The weird So I mean, look at the Bible, and

846
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:05.800
there are some really really weird things that happened in

847
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:09.119
that book. And I think it is a little silly

848
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.920
of us to think that that stuff stopped happening and

849
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:18.239
that weird stuff doesn't happen today. You know, That's kind

850
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:21.960
of how I think about it. So, yeah, who knows

851
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:24.920
what's going on there in the background that we can't see.

852
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.599
But as you mentioned, you know, you can have the

853
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:35.280
power of the Holy Spirit, and that can definitely definitely

854
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:39.559
protect you for sure. Linda, it has been really fun

855
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:40.719
talking to you today.

856
00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:42.119
I think it's.

857
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:46.000
Probably one of the earliest accounts of mind speak that

858
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:49.760
I've heard so far, which is really really cool. Seventy

859
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:53.719
seven so that is pretty special. I want to make

860
00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:55.880
sure that you were able to share everything that you

861
00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:59.440
had come to the show to share today.

862
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:02.280
Yeah, I don't think I've left anything out. I tried

863
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:06.480
hard to remember everything that's good, awesome, Thank you very much.

864
00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:09.440
Absolutely absolutely, and keep us in mind. You know, if

865
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:14.000
anything else happens around your area or on your travels,

866
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:15.679
we'd love to hear about it. But thank you so

867
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:17.880
much for hanging out with us today and for sharing

868
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:19.119
your experiences.

869
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:21.800
Thanks a lot, thank you.

870
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:26.119
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

871
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:29.320
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

872
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:32.280
would love to get out in those woods and experience

873
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:36.840
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

874
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:40.440
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

875
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.400
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

876
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.079
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

877
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:53.280
even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll

878
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:55.599
be one of the speakers. It's going to be wild.

879
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:01.159
I'll probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you

880
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:07.760
haven't heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

881
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:09.840
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

882
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:12.679
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

883
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:17.880

documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year, you can

885
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:26.039
not only go to the festival, but you can also

00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:33.639
sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

887
00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:38.400
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot Spots

888
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:42.360
to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign

889
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:46.000
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

890
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:49.280

891
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.400
Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in lifetime deal.

892
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.639
It's just it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

898
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:24.760
that you guys can can get a little help with

899
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.119
the cost there. Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope to see

900
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:32.360
you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can

901
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:34.679
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

902
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:38.360
many people last year and the year before. It is

903
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:41.320
an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

904
00:56:41.639 --> 00:56:46.079
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

905
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:48.719
I want to say something directly to a very specific

906
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:52.239
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

907
00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:55.239
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

908
00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:58.440
can explain, or if you're a National park ranger of

909
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:02.159
forestreet worker who's been told to stay quiet. If you're

910
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:05.599
a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

911
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.719
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

912
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:12.360
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

913
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:15.400
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

914
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:19.039
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

915
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:22.199
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

916
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:26.079
on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government

917
00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:29.760
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

918
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:33.440
a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

919
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:37.000
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

920
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:40.760
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

921
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:44.039
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

922
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:48.480
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA,

923
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:52.559
or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

924
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.079
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous,

925
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:02.679
you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

926
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:05.239
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

927
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:11.119
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

928
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:15.400
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

929
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:18.320

931
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.000
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

932
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:26.880
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
