00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.920
great state of West Virginia. How's it going today, Old Bear?

17
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.640
Oh, it's going pretty good.

you're from?

20
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.520
Yeah, I'll live nearly state capital Charleston, Wesna.

21
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.039
Perfect. We were talking a little bit before this interview.

22
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.879
You sent me some info and it sounds like you've

23
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.640
been researching this creature for quite a long time.

24
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.920
Yeah, my journey started back when I was sixteen years old.

25
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.159
I had a sighting of a bigfoot from about twenty

26
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.040
feet away, and that despite my interest in this in

27
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.120
two bigfoot, the type of sighting that I had was

28
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.079
I was deer hunting. Actually, I was sixteen year old kid,

29
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.319
first time my father ever letting me go by myself

30
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.400
when I was deer hunting during deer season and it

31
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.200
was a lightful season here in West Virginia, and this

32
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.840
thing walked out from a boulder at about twenty feet

33
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.239
away and it was chasing some deer. And as a

34
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.120
sixteen year old kid, I thought the sounds that it

35
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.359
was making before it came into view sounded like a

36
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.359
white tail buck. And I already had a rifle up

37
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.479
to my shoulder and when I stepped out, I was,

38
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.120
what in the world is that?

39
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.159
Can you describe those sounds for people that aren't familiar

40
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:18.319
with what those sounds are?

41
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.919
Yeah, it was a grunt. That was the sound that

42
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.520
it was making. And that's typically what a white tailed

43
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.680
deer does. A male deer when it's chasing goes when

44
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.520
they're in their breeding season, which is usually in the fall,

45
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:40.439
and this was in December, and it just it was

46
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.240
making those noises. And I'm thinking, because I'd already seen

47
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.759
three days come out and they were they looked like

48
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.280
they'd been run pretty hard. So I thought, I'm a kid.

49
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.680
I don't know about these things. I don't know there's

50
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.199
a big foot in the world, didn't know nothing about them,

51
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.879
never seen one. My family never talked about it and

52
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.439
wasn't in the know of Bigfoot. And those noises sounded

53
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.680
to me like a wait till buck running because it

54
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.520
was following those that were in eat and when it

55
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.520
stepped out at twenty feet, it was a complete surprise

56
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.800
to me. Except for the year before, I had seen.

57
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:34.840
The movie about the Bigfoot in Arkansas, and I watched

58
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:35.280
it with.

59
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.280
My dad and I'd asked the dad as that real

60
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.479
Dad said, no, I've never seen anything like that, and

61
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.800
they're not that's just Hollywood. That was his explanation.

62
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.120
Is Boggy Creek probably, Yeah.

63
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.080
Yes, it was the Boggle Creek monster. And it didn't

64
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.599
look like the Boggy Creek monster. It didn't have super

65
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.719
long hair all over its face, and it had long

66
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:07.479
hair on it. But the thing was it was sixty

67
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.879
degrees that day, which is warm for that time of

68
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.480
year around here. And I'm sitting there in a finel

69
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.720
shirt and an orange vest with an orange hat on

70
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.920
blue jeans and sitting on the ground with a rifle

71
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.879
and this thing steps out and the rifles at my shoulder,

72
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.720
and all I'm doing is looking down the barrel of

73
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.040
rifle at this thing, going, oh Lord, what in the world.

74
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.879
I don't know what. I don't know what you are,

75
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.680
but don't look at me, don't hear me. It was

76
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.560
about going in my head at the point. And at

77
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.360
that point it slowly turned towards me. And when it

78
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:58.120
turned towards me, the facial expression on it, it looked

79
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:05.000
like a early type of human, not modern, but looked

80
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.120
really human. And it looked at me like where'd you

81
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.959
come from? Because it raised its eyebrows and then opened

82
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.040
its eyes up and the eyes were cold black. And

83
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.800
this is two point thirty three o'clock in the interm

84
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:27.480
in And at that point I was scared. But through

85
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.040
being raised up in the woods and as a young

86
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.480
kid and having an older brother that was in the military,

87
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.839
I knew to keep my emotions at bay as best

88
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.199
I could. Because this is a situation. I don't know

89
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.319
if it's going to be life or death. I don't

90
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.199
know if it's going to be you know, this thing's

91
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.439
going to come up there and not me in the

92
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.120
next week. So I'm still looking down the barrel at

93
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.480
this thing, and it starts to grimace and starts to

94
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.879
growl at me, a very deep, low growl, and it

95
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.879
takes a step towards me at that point, and once

96
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:16.279
it took that step, I thought in my head, this

97
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.199
thing's will come up here and harm me. I'm sixteen

98
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.120
year old kid. I'm a pretty big kid because I

99
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.240
played football and did all that stuff. And at that point,

100
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.040
I put my thumb on the hammer on the rifle

101
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.920
that I had and to take that second step. And

102
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.759
when it took the second step, I pulled the hammer

103
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.639
back to o'clock where all I had to do is

104
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.079
squeeze the trigger. And now I'm looking down the slight

105
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.600
thing and I have a slight squarely on its nose.

106
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.439
It heard that click, and then it stood a little

107
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.600
more erect because when it walked out, it was hunts forward,

108
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:05.120
knees bent, and it had it was hunting the same

109
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.000
as I was just I had to be choosy about

110
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.800
what I did or what animal that I could shoot

111
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.240
legally at that point. And once it started to take

112
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.680
that second step and I pulled the hammer back, and

113
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.279
that click, and it was very quiet in the words,

114
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.800
there wasn't even a chip, my orse whirl or a

115
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.560
bird making any kind of sound. And at that point,

116
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.560
once it heard the click, it perked up a little

117
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.079
bit and looked at me, and it stopped growling at me,

118
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.079
and then it was showing its teeth when it growled

119
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:45.279
at me, and it closed its mouth, and then it

120
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.360
started turning its up the body, looking for a way

121
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.519
to get out of there, and it finally went back

122
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.439
the way that it came. And at this point, whenever

123
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.560
it disappeared and I could hear it running off, I

124
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:04.959
stood up and started towards the road, which i was

125
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.439
just two benches which were two flats off from the road.

126
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.680
And I got to the road and I didn't hear

127
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.319
it anymore, and then it screamed at me. I would

128
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.800
have to say probably two hundred yards or more away.

129
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.879
And when it screamed at me was when I started

130
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.519
losing it. I'm sixteen years old, I'm a big kid

131
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:34.159
football the back then you were taught men don't cry,

132
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.919
men don't get upset, and that was in attitude that

133
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.440
I had. But at that point I was completely scared,

134
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.159
intimidated because this thing was seven and a half eight

135
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.960
foot doll. It was broad in the shoulders, probably three

136
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.559
and a half four foot across the shoulders, long hair,

137
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.279
and it was not happy with me. So I went

138
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.080
back to where my dad had parked the vehicle we

139
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.879
were in, and my dad was coming out the road

140
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:10.960
and he looked at me and he said, what in

141
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.360
the world was that noise? Is that somebody out there

142
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.919
doing something, some kids or something like that. I don't

143
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.919
want to talk about it. I just got go home.

144
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.720
And my dad looked at he said, no, you were

145
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.879
gonna hunt until he gets dark. And I said, Dad,

146
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.399
I want to go home now. And by this time,

147
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.519
it's after three o'clock and he's and we'd only been

148
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.639
there a few hours, and he's on what happened and

149
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.360
I'm not talking about it. And I went to the

150
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.039
back of the vehicle and unloaded my rifle, put it

151
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:48.799
in the guncase, took my desk to that off being,

152
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.639
got into passenger seat and locked the door, and my

153
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.759
dad come over and he's you're serious. I said, yeah,

154
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.440
I want to go home. He unloaded his minefel got

155
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.000
a driver's seat and and said what's going on? And

156
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.039
he kept asking me, and I'm like, Dad, didn't you

157
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.360
go home? And we started back out the road and

158
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.039
had to go right past where this had just happened.

159
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.679
And when I reached that point, I started crying and

160
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:16.399
my dad looked over and he said, what are you

161
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.799
crying for? Dad? I don't want to talk about it.

162
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:25.200
I don't know how to explain this. And we got

163
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.799
out on the blacktop. His son is sitting beside pretty

164
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:34.200
much balling like a little kid. Dad was worried. They

165
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.279
took us an hour to get back to the interstate.

166
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.279
And once we got on the interstate, he said, you're

167
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.000
going to tell me what's going on. And when he

168
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.360
said that, and then in turn it he said, I

169
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.080
knew that I had to answer him and tell him

170
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.399
what was going on. And I told him and the

171
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.440
only thing he said to me when I got done

172
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:57.240
was don't tell you mother or your grandmother. And that

173
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.600
started the long thirty nine years of knowing about Bigfoot.

174
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:09.080
And it's been a long process to trying to figure

175
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:14.320
out what these creatures are. Are they harmful to humans?

176
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.559
And it's been a long road, a lot of miles

177
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.759
walking through the hills of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio in

178
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.759
other states here in the Southeast. In the research that

179
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.919
I've found for these creatures, I've found that most of

180
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.879
them don't want nothing to do with us. They don't

181
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.080
want to interact with us. They don't want to be

182
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.399
bothered with us humans because we're dangerous. Most times when

183
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.679
somebody sees won they've got a gun or they got

184
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.039
some kind of weapon in their hand, typically when they

185
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.440
went into humans, whether it's spring, summer, or fall or winter,

186
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.639
and they don't want anything to do this. They've been

187
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.679
shot at for hundreds of years here in the US

188
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.639
and across the world, and they're afraid of us, most

189
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.120
of them are. But I've also found there's some out there,

190
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.519
bigfoot out there that kind of want to turn us

191
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.720
into dinner. And I've had a couple of a few

192
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.159
experiences with those types, and it's always been a struggle

193
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:25.960
to survive. And because they're so big and powerful and

194
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.200
they're so aggressive and the way that they do things,

195
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:36.399
it's always like they're a military unit, and that's how

196
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.440
they act. Even the ones that don't anything to do

197
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.919
with is they act more like there is a general,

198
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.279
which I've found out over the years is the big

199
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:52.480
male Alpha, and what he says goes, and the klan

200
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.240
does what he says, and it's it can be dangerous

201
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.120
if you get too close to them. They let you know.

202
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.799
They may show theirselves, or they may make screams or

203
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:12.799
howls or whatever. And they throw rocks most easily make

204
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.559
thoy rocks. They don't try to hit you, but when

205
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.399
you're too close, they may throw rocks and hit you

206
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.559
with them, not enough to kill you, but get you

207
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:26.120
to leave. And it's been like that ever since I

208
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.840
got started going out in the woods and walking around

209
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.600
trying to find footprints and hair and all this stuff.

210
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.279
And I've found all that. It's just over the years

211
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.840
I found out no matter how much you bring in,

212
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.360
science is not going to do anything about them or

213
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.679
list them as real until science has one on them.

214
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.639
A metal table somewhere.

215
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:58.559
That's an incredible first encounter old art to have. After

216
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:04.679
you told your your father, he said not to tell

217
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.039
your grandmother and your mother, do you think he ever

218
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.039
had an experience himself, or why do you think he

219
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.960
didn't want you to tell those certain individuals about what happened.

220
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.200
He told me that because if I told, if it

221
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.879
got to Mom and grandma, because my grandmother was his mother,

222
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.279
and if I told Mom, that's his wife, and the

223
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.799
women of the house don't have a lot of say

224
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:38.679
so from generations before, but if it's something that's going

225
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:44.639
to harm their children or possibly harm a grandchild, they

226
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:52.200
can overrule Dad. And it was a very hearing experience

227
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.159
from me, and it affected me for quite a long time,

228
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.639
and I actually quit hunting because of it for about

229
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.799
three years. And I didn't go. I didn't go with

230
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.480
my dad and my brothers. They still would go, and

231
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.600
I'm like, no, just don't feel good, or I just

232
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.360
I got I got schoolwork to do.

233
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.960
Big for a society. Who would be right back after

234
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.919
these messages.

235
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.279
I'd make excuses and wouldn't go. And my dad knew it.

236
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:42.320
But if Mom and Grandma knew what happened, none of

237
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:47.120
us would have been going hunting. Ever. Again, my older

238
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.320
brother had a wife, I'm pretty sure that would have

239
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.320
affected they would have been she would have been told

240
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.919
and that would have been in the himbling And the

241
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.320
same with mom. You're not taking my boys out in

242
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.200
the woods and these things are out there, they're not

243
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.200
going to be You're not going to get one of

244
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:10.279
my kids killed. And Dad was the boss. But Mom

245
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:16.919
can exert her boss and Dad would have to listen.

246
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.279
And that's absolutely is Sometimes in stories like this accounts,

247
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.159
it comes out that other relatives themselves have had encounters.

248
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.799
Is that the was that the case in your family

249
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.399
that you found out along the way that other people

250
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:33.879
have well seen things as well.

251
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.360
Yeah, it took me thirty years to find out that

252
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.200
my dad and my uncle they heard screams one night

253
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.879
and they were out fishing and camping on a river

254
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.120
here in West Virginia, not far from where I had

255
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.320
my encounter, and they heard screams and something came around

256
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.759
the camp that they had set up that night, and

257
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:04.680
they had these things seen. One walk between the camper

258
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.359
because they hit a sliding camper at the time, and

259
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.359
it walked between the camper and the fire that they

260
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.559
had outside. And they never said a word about it

261
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.119
to anybody. And my dad told me that thirty years later.

262
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:24.680
Okay, so your encounter happened in early seventies, correct, because

263
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.559
that would have been around the time that Boggie Creek

264
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.079
came out.

265
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.759
No, it was nineteen eighty four.

266
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.759
Nineteen eighty four, okay, yeah, And I've.

267
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.559
Never heard of the movie The Legend of Boggy Creek

268
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.440
until the year before. And it came on Saturday night.

269
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.079
It was one of those back then they had movies

270
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.279
they would play on Saturday nights around nine or ten o'clock,

271
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.960
and it was always a scary movie.

272
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.160
Gotcha.

273
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:58.559
It was Bella Lagosi as Dracula or Frankenstein or something

274
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.640
like that, and they and they made they had that

275
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.519
movie on on Saturday night and we watched it and

276
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.519
it was just one of those things. You saw it

277
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:13.039
and it was like if it scared it, it scared me.

278
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.160
And my dad would was, Nah, that's the big deal,

279
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.720
and it's don't worry about it. That's not real. It's

280
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.200
just Hollywood. It's like Dracula and Frankenstein.

281
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.880
So you said that your experience, in your father's experience

282
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:33.240
happened is in similar areas. Is that an area that

283
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.119
are you able to share. Was it near a certain

284
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.680
river or state forest or anything like that? For context,

285
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.319
for listeners.

286
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.359
Yeah, it's near the Little Kanaal River. It seems like

287
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.160
that is a corridor what I found over the years,

288
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:55.839
they tend to follow that river between Ohio and the

289
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.279
Eastern mountains here in West Virginia where it originates.

290
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.000
And you repeat that name one more time, sorry.

291
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.119
The Little and All River.

292
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.000
Okay, Little kana River. Interesting. I'm sure there'll be a

293
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.839
few listeners that will be interested in info like that.

294
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.200
You have your experience, and then for a few years,

295
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.079
definitely you're not going into the woods. You're not going hunting.

296
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.440
Was there a point that you transitioned more into someone

297
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.480
that you were trying to figure out? Okay, what is

298
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.039
this creature that I saw? Or how did that come

299
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.279
about that you started looking into bigfoot over these years

300
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.240
after you had your experience.

301
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:43.480
After about three years, my dad told me on a

302
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.359
Friday night, tomorrow you're going with me. And I'm like, Dad,

303
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.240
I know you're going hunting. I don't want to go.

304
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.240
You know what happened, he said, I don't want to

305
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:57.039
hear it. Enjoyed going hunting. You can go with me tomorrow,

306
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.720
stay with me the whole time. Not I have to

307
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.759
worry about. But this point I'm nineteen. I'm over eighteen.

308
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:10.680
I'm nineteen years old, and it was you're going with me.

309
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.920
You're a grown man. You can deal with this. It's

310
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.440
no big deal. So I went with him, and I

311
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.720
tried to make excuses. He wouldn't let me stay at

312
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:26.160
the truck. And it was a family outing. My older

313
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.240
brother was there, my younger brother, my brother in law

314
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.839
was there. There was five of us, and I went

315
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.279
with my dad and walked with my dad all day

316
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.119
and we talked, and that kind of helped a lot

317
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.359
to get back out in the woods. And at that

318
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.880
point I was like, Dad, I really want to find

319
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.759
out what this thing is. And he's found out and

320
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.200
let me know. At that point, I got interested in

321
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.400
trying to figure out what these creatures were. And I

322
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.039
started going out on weekends and stuff because at this

323
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:04.319
point when I had tom home, because I did things

324
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:10.400
back then, I was into I had went and was

325
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.119
doing things in the military, and when I would come home,

326
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.400
I would go looking around here in West Virginia. And

327
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.759
it kept progressing from that point. I needed to know

328
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.000
more about these things. I need to find them, I

329
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.839
need to know where they are. And I kept looking

330
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:31.680
and I kept making mistakes and kept failing at it,

331
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.440
couldn't find them, couldn't find foot prints. And finally, after

332
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.759
I was about twenty three twenty four years old, I

333
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.079
ran into a guy here in West Virginia that kind

334
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.119
of took me under his name and told me he

335
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.400
knew about him for forty plus years because he seem

336
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.039
he was a young man of about I think twenty

337
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.880
four to twenty five years old, and he told me

338
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.079
he is an encounter and I was like, Wow, that's amazing.

339
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.559
You had a pretty docile encounter. You started looking into

340
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.839
these and he was an old country a country boy,

341
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.079
and he just he knew the woods, and he kept

342
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.000
finding them and kept finding prints and kept seeing them,

343
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.880
and he took me under his wing and showed me

344
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.240
what he knew. And then we started seeing him and

345
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.319
he would get reports from places here in West Virginia,

346
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.119
in the eastern part of the state, in Greenbrier County,

347
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:38.000
Randolph County, Pelden County, Pokahontas, and we go to those

348
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.519
places and we look around and see what we could find,

349
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.799
and he would consistently find them. We would find deer

350
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.440
carcasses of where they evidently killed a deer and stripped

351
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:56.240
it clean, and it could be other animals doing it,

352
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.839
but you would find you wouldn't find sharp tooth mark,

353
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.559
you wouldn't find knife marks in them, or a person

354
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.359
would kill them and then pet the meat up and

355
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.240
everything like that. You would find a carcass that was

356
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.839
ripped apart, and it was a sign that it had

357
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:19.440
to be a creature that was able to rip their

358
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.039
legs off and break their necks. We found quite a

359
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:28.480
few at that time with their heads their necks completely

360
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:33.400
broken and ripped apart. And he took me uner his wing.

361
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:36.279
I was with you about five or six years and

362
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:43.119
we went out on an investigation of some aggressive bigfoot.

363
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:47.079
And while we were out on that investigation, it's the

364
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.400
middle of January, and he disappeared, and that was a

365
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.319
pretty tough time.

366
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.359
He disappeared completely.

367
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.599
Yeah, he was never found. I found his hat three

368
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:06.119
weeks later at the entrance to a cave with a

369
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.559
rock stuck on top of it. And that's all that

370
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.319
I ever found.

371
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.119
Can you share this gentleman's name at all?

372
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.319
Yeah, his name was Robert Henderson.

373
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:23.839
Robert Henderson. What time frame would that have done? That

374
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.160
would have been in the late nineties, late nineties around

375
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.759
I mean.

376
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:33.519
Four ninety five, maybe because I'm maning. I was nineteen

377
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.839
twenty years old when I'm mining, and when he disappeared

378
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.920
was when I was twenty five. I'd gotten married, and

379
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.319
right after we gotten married is when he disappeared.

380
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:45.039
What do you think happened to him?

381
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.160
I think they grabbed me because the man was seventy

382
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.480
five feet from me. I had walked up behind a

383
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:59.880
tree and was using the bathroom, and when I stood,

384
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.559
when I stepped behind from the tree, he's nowhere in sight.

385
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.799
The big foot in that area had kept hunters out

386
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.599
of that hollow and off that ridge that ran around

387
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:17.880
the hollow for evidently for quite some time, and people

388
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.359
wouldn't go in there. And we went in there, and

389
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.400
I came out alone, and he called the state police

390
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.519
and was told it was a bear attack. And that

391
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.559
was the narrative that I was told.

392
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.160
Was there anything that told you from what you saw

393
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.960
that was a bear attack or no.

394
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:44.359
I've hunted bear pretty much most of my thehtle life,

395
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:50.759
and never ever grizzly. We had a bike bear in

396
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.200
the state of Westginia, and a grizzly bear will drag

397
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:59.640
you off a short ways or just they cover you

398
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:05.079
over with some dirt and or ford force litter and

399
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:09.680
go short ways away from you and wait and then

400
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.880
feed on you from then on. Even a grizzly will

401
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.759
do that. Black bear will do it. Yeah, they've been

402
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:20.400
known to kill men. But it's not it's a gory scene.

403
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.960
There was no blood. There was nothing that said that

404
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:27.680
he was attacked by a bear. We would have found

405
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.279
his body.

406
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:32.519
Can you provide any specifics as to where this particular

407
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.160
area was that there's this hollow or there's the cave.

408
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.880
Yeah, it's actually in Nicholas County where we were at

409
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:48.400
was near Somersville Actually was near the backside of Somersville Lake.

410
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.119
Somersville Lake the US.

411
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.519
Army Corps of Engineers Lake if they put in a

412
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.240
long time ago. The dam's not a concrete dam. It's

413
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.319
a rock dam that they built and it was damn

414
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.359
up the waters off the Gali River because people were

415
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:07.799
getting flooded out every year when the heavy rains would

416
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.000
come in the spring and it would flood people out

417
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.039
all the full length of the gully where would go

418
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.000
in and meet the new and become the Kanala River.

419
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.519
You're saying that the bigfoot in this area are pretty aggressive.

420
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.880
Yeah, they call them the Yahoo.

421
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.640
The Yahoo isn't that kind of close to one of

422
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.200
to that news park in West Virginia New River Gorge.

423
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.799
It's actually three ridges over from the gorge.

424
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.480
Do you think that's a coincidence or I don't.

425
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.960
Know, it's a coincidence. And the point of that lake area,

426
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.240
you can go in there and hunt, but no one

427
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.440
goes on the back side of the lake to deer

428
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.960
hunt or to bear hunt or anything. I've been in

429
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:57.200
there since this and I've never found a fresh bear

430
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.839
track or bear drop things. And you don't ever see

431
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.640
hardly any squirrels in there, deer or pretty much. The

432
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.119
only time they have got through there, I do believe

433
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:13.119
is that they're run through there, and once they get

434
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.039
in there, they run out as fast as they can,

435
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.279
or else they don't make it. There is no sound,

436
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.920
there's no birds, tho squirrels, no chipmunks, They don't make

437
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.559
no lease. It's quiet, early quiet.

438
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:28.839
Have you looked for bigfoot signs and et cetera in

439
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.079
that area since then?

440
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.279
Yeah, I've been in there four or five times since

441
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:40.079
that happened, and I've found prints in there and I

442
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.559
made cast of them. And I've seen a big put

443
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.359
in there, and one night I went in there. We

444
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.000
have been in there bow hunting, me and my younger

445
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.640
brother and a friend of ours. We're in there bow hunting.

446
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:58.599
That morning. We never spouned a deer track, nothing that

447
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:04.400
was less. I'm six months old, didn't find any bear tracks,

448
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.440
didn't find no deer tracks. Seen one squirrel that morning

449
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:13.240
and it was in high gear whenever I saw it.

450
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.480
And that evening I went back in there because I

451
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.519
thought it was strange because I found a partial print

452
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.599
and it was a mile away from where we had

453
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.720
parked when I found the print, and it was just

454
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.559
the toes and the front had which it could have

455
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:33.200
been a bear. It had five toes. But it still

456
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:35.680
was a strange.

457
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.640
Big so society would be right back after these messages.

458
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.920
That was the only thing. And never found the claw marks,

459
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.720
as a bear has caller it on his front feet

460
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:04.599
and back feet, and there was no call marks. It

461
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.440
was just like tow marks and the path of the foot.

462
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.519
And I went back in there that evening, right at

463
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.519
dark after we'd come home, and I drove all the

464
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.960
way back up there and I went in there, and

465
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.480
right at dark I heard a scream from probably a

466
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.119
quarter of a mile away, and it was towards the bottom,

467
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.799
towards the lake itself. And then I heard another scream,

468
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.440
and it was probably two hundred yards away. And at

469
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.640
that point I'm like, I'm here by myself. This is stupid.

470
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:41.519
This is area where my friend disappeared. I need to

471
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.200
get out of here. And I went started back towards

472
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.960
my truck and had to go around a mudhole and

473
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.400
had to walk up on the bank. And when I

474
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:55.920
said mudhole, it's probably feet home and about eight foot wide,

475
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.920
and it put a deal within it and it got

476
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.680
I had tires on it, big muneires. You're not getting

477
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.799
out of it, unles. She used cumlongs, or now you

478
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.000
can use wenches, But back then all we had was

479
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:14.480
the hand cranked cumblongs. And I had to go around

480
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:17.559
it to get to my vehicle and so I could leave.

481
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.680
And when I stepped up on the bank, something pushed

482
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:28.160
a tree over, not a big tree, something substantial, about

483
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:33.200
a six inch thick tree, and it knocked the top

484
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.359
of the tree, knocked me off the edge of the bank,

485
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.839
and I ended up in the mudhole and I had

486
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.039
to scramble to get out of it, and when I

487
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.920
got out of it, it screamed at me from where

488
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.880
the tree was pushed over, and I thought, I'm gonna

489
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:54.079
go home, and I went and got my vehicle mud

490
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:58.359
covered soak them wet, got my vehicle and I did

491
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:00.960
the smart thing. I had already turned vehicle around. As

492
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.960
soon as I got in through the key, ind ignition

493
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.279
started up, putting gear and left. I've been in there

494
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.480
and they are aggressive. They just didn't want me there.

495
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:14.359
They don't want nobody there. And people that lived up

496
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:18.799
there in the town around the lake, which is called Somersville.

497
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.359
It is the name of the town. They talk about

498
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.079
hearing screens in there all the time, if you can

499
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:26.240
get them to talk about it.

500
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:29.480
And sorry, refresh my memory so that the time you

501
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.319
just told me about where you heard the screams, that

502
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.640
was also the time where you saw the creature as well.

503
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:41.200
Yeah, I've seen the creatures in there that probably two

504
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:44.960
months before when I was in there. I've seen one

505
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:52.200
walking through and I left the area because it automatically

506
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:56.640
knew I was there and somehow away shape or form,

507
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.720
whether it smelled me or it heard me coming in

508
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:03.319
or whatever, and I left because I didn't want to

509
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.680
mess with those because the stories and accounts from people

510
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.359
that these things would run them out of the woods,

511
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:13.960
not walk them out, not walk along with them, they

512
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.759
would chase them out, and I didn't want to mess

513
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.440
with that. And then it was two months later we

514
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:23.279
went up there to bow hunt, and that was when

515
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.720
I seen the partial footprint and no other prints that

516
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.880
were less than six months old. And I left and

517
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:33.799
then came back that night and then had a tree

518
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.240
push down on top of me. Not on top of me,

519
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.000
but right enough to knock me off the bank.

520
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:44.200
Oh wow, that's wild. When's the last time you've been

521
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:44.839
in this area.

522
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:49.319
It's been about a year and a half ago.

523
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.799
Okay, I see there's a few wildlife areas around this lake.

524
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.440
I'm looking at on a map right now. There's a

525
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.319
Summersville Lake State Wildlife Area.

526
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:04.319
Look at Somersville Lake. If you go to the very

527
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:10.039
back of it, there's a big humindous horseshoe type hollow

528
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.559
at the back part of it, and that's where they tend.

529
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.639
And it's very steep in there, and it's rugged territory

530
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.639
in there. It's almost straight up and down. It's really

531
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:24.119
hard to hunt it in there. They timbered that area

532
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:30.039
probably forty or fifty years ago, and they planted trees

533
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:35.239
and oaks, and they planted some pines in there, and

534
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:40.239
it's all grown up now and it's pretty steep territory

535
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.760
and the only place is the wall is on the

536
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:51.000
logging roads that we're in there. And there's not very

537
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.159
many benches. And when I say a bench is this

538
00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:00.480
is a flat side part of the hill. And there's

539
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.639
it's so thick in there. I mean there's multiple rows

540
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.840
in there, there's rhododendrons in there, there is mountain moral

541
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:14.079
in there. It's just really thick. It's like going into

542
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:16.800
the Amazon and having to cut your way through it

543
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:17.800
just to walk through it.

544
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.519
Do you have any advice for someone, Let's say there's

545
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.039
an individual where they're like, yeah, I'm a Bigfoot researcher,

546
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:26.000
and yeah, I'm going to try to go to a

547
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:29.440
place like this to see if I can encounter a

548
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.480
creature like this. Do you have any advice for an

549
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:32.320
individual like that?

550
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.119
What I found out over the years is if a

551
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.679
bigfoot plan or a family in it is in that area,

552
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.360
they're in there for a reason. They don't want to

553
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:46.840
be bothered. They tend to be aggressive towards people coming

554
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.000
in there, and they defend their territory by throwing stuff

555
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.840
at you, whether it's a tree, lamb or a rock,

556
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.599
or chasing you out of there. And when that happens,

557
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.840
the best thing to do is just turn go back

558
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:06.679
the way you came, don't deviate from it, don't take shortcuts,

559
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.239
just use the same route that you came in on.

560
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:14.920
Get yourself out of there, because at point if you

561
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.599
do something different what you do when you came in,

562
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.519
they tend to get a little bit more upset and

563
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.760
to get more aggressive. Anytime my bigfoot is aggressive towards you,

564
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:28.440
the best thing to do is to back out and

565
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:30.519
go away, go home.

566
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.480
That's good advice. I want to ask you a question.

567
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:35.800
It's going to be it's just going to be a

568
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.920
left field one, just in case it jogs anything in

569
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:41.519
your memory. There's an individual that was going to talk

570
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:45.480
to me a long time ago and it never turned

571
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.119
into anything, and eventually I have no way to contact

572
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.960
the individual now. But it was somewhere in I believe

573
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:57.800
its southern West Virginia, and he said that his family

574
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:03.400
had encountered over the year years where there's almost a

575
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.719
group of bigfoot that were trying to run them out

576
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.000
of their home. Is that anything you've ever heard or

577
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:12.960
have you ever heard of scenario where like the bigfoot

578
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:16.000
is trying to run someone out of their home, off

579
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:17.039
their property? Anything?

580
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:19.679
I thought, let me ask you a question. Do you

581
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:24.440
remember the county or the area or a city name.

582
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:28.840
No, Unfortunately I was not given any of that info.

583
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:35.400
No, I'd after about twenty years or about fifteen years

584
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:39.400
of doing this, I did go down to southern West Virginia,

585
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.920
and I'm not mistaken. I know the person you're talking about.

586
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:44.480
No way.

587
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:46.280
I went in there to help that family.

588
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.400
Yes, sir, oh dear.

589
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.920
And we went in there. I went in there with

590
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.760
another guy, a friend of mine from the military, and

591
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.719
we went in there, and those bigfoot were super agressive.

592
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:06.000
They did not like humans. They looked like the ones

593
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.960
that we saw. We saw two and both of them

594
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.480
had a very heavy brow ridge and they looked like

595
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:20.519
chro Magnon man, like chro Magnon man on steroids with

596
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.440
the height of Shaquille O'Neal plus a foot or two.

597
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:31.280
And those bigfoot that we encountered. We ended up having

598
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:38.559
to set out flash banks around these people's homes and

599
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:43.880
they got the message through force. We didn't have to

600
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.840
shoot any of them. We didn't have to shoot none

601
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.000
to kill them. We just discharged a couple of twelve

602
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.400
gages and when they ran into the flash banks, they

603
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:03.119
got the message that they wanted there. And that lasted

604
00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:07.360
about three nights when we went in and did that investigation,

605
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.320
and they were coming to this person's house. They had

606
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:16.639
killed their dog, they had been caught looking in the

607
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:24.119
windows at night at the daughter, and they were making

608
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:28.840
a real big nuisance of their selves, and there was

609
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.679
other things that have went on that I don't really

610
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.639
think I should say.

611
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.440
Yeah, I respect that, because obviously the person doesn't want

612
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:37.000
to talk to me.

613
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.079
They probably wouldn't talk to you. It would give too

614
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:46.239
much information and it would tell exactly where they are.

615
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:49.159
Then you would have all these people going there, and

616
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.920
they didn't want that, and that's the reason he only

617
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:56.159
asked me to bring one person with me, and we

618
00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:01.159
did everything that we could to get these bigfoot short

619
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:05.360
of having to kill them, to understand that you need

620
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.079
to leave this family alone. And if you don't leave

621
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.760
them alone, it's going to progress. And those Bigfoot got

622
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:17.519
the hint after the third night of running into all

623
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.679
those flashbanks, and they like.

624
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.199
Have you ever heard of a situation in West Virginia

625
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.159
or I guess any of that. You've been to multiple

626
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:29.920
states of where a specimen has been gathered.

627
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:36.760
Yeah, there was an instance that happened here in West

628
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:42.199
Virginia about two years ago that the US military was

629
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:46.760
involved in, or at least a government was involved in.

630
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:49.519
And they killed a clan of Bigfoot that had killed

631
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:53.880
a young couple. And that happened in Jackson County, West Virginia.

632
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:56.800
Wow, just a few years ago.

633
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:01.840
Wow. Yeah, they killed the whole clan and they retrieved

634
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:05.800
all the bodies, and I guess they did their experiments

635
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.800
or whatever on them. I don't know what they did

636
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.960
to the bodies, but because I'm not privy to that information,

637
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:18.360
but I knew the person that was that this happened

638
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:22.599
on his property, and this young couple was from Ohio,

639
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.360
And strangely enough, I knew the man's uncle because I

640
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:32.599
had done an investigation at his uncle's farm. And that

641
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.679
was a stinky situation, very sticky.

642
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.360
So why was that a sticky situation?

643
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:46.280
These bigfoot were killing cattle, and they were the type

644
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:52.400
that I called the Genosqua. They eat their unkind, they

645
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:56.360
eat nothing but meat. They will eat humans. These things

646
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.599
had actually come to the house and tried to get

647
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.960
it house one night, and him having a shotgunload of slugs.

648
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.159
They would have been in the house and probably killed

649
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.519
the whole family. And it was a sticky situation because

650
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:18.880
of the people that contacted me was a trooper at

651
00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:22.800
the time for the state of Ohio, and we went

652
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:28.239
down and had to deal with those bigfoot and that

653
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.239
was a messy situation. And then after we dealt with it,

654
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:39.039
the men in the khaki pants and boots and polo

655
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:40.000
shirts showed up.

656
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.519
Tell me about those individuals.

657
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.679
Those individuals did not show credentials, but you could tell

658
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:51.800
by their haircuts that they were with the government in

659
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:55.280
some way, shape or form from one of the alphabet

660
00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:00.079
entities of the federal government. And you could tell by

661
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:04.159
the way that they carried themselves that either bow down

662
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.719
and do what we we say and say what we

663
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.119
tell you to say, or it's not going to be

664
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.800
good for you. And they told us all that in

665
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.199
very uncertain terms, and I just looked at him and laughed,

666
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.360
and I said, you're never going to stop me from

667
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:23.039
telling them the truth about these creatures, and you just

668
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:29.880
need to back off. And then twenty years later, this kid,

669
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:34.599
or not twenty years, it's probably twelve years, this nephew

670
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:40.199
comes to lest union. Then they found their bodies and

671
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:43.800
told them they were killed by bears. And then that's

672
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:49.039
when the US government sent in killed teams and destroyed

673
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:49.679
the whole plan.

674
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.840
Sorry, they destroyed the property.

675
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.800
No, they just tore the property in it and took camp.

676
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:03.639
You couple was staying in because the farmer that the

677
00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:06.280
man that I knew here in Jackson County ider hunt

678
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:10.679
on his property, okay, and he called me. He knew

679
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:13.840
what I was doing and called me and said that

680
00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:17.960
he had a young couple that disappeared. And I was

681
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.039
going out there. And when I got out there, there

682
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:26.199
was a group of men there in a black van,

683
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.760
and I was told to know in certain terms I

684
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:33.519
had to leave, and his wife and him left, were

685
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:38.480
forced to leave, and they went and found them and

686
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:43.079
they were taken to either a corner or someone in

687
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:48.760
the federal government took their bodies and they were found

688
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:53.480
and I found out through some friends that are still

689
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:58.360
in the federal government, and that the young couple was

690
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.679
I was told about how the pickup was destroyed.

691
00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.320
Big for society would be right back after these messages.

692
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.679
He had an S ten pickup that was old Winshill

693
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:30.519
busted out of the steam wheel, ripped up and sticking

694
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:33.599
out over top of the hood of the pickup, but

695
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.599
all over the inside of the pickup. She was found

696
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:43.039
in the camper, ripped apart, and part of her was

697
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:48.280
found in a tree one hundred yards away, and they

698
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:53.599
found their bodies, cleaned the area, and then a week

699
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:55.679
later they were in there and I guess they had

700
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:57.920
found the klan where they were staying in a cave

701
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:04.920
and killed mall and the cold bodies were taken out. Yeah.

702
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:10.639
Wow, man, that is a very interesting situation. The owner

703
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:13.960
of that property, did they talk about the event or

704
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:18.000
I'm guessing they probably don't.

705
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:22.719
Is the property that he owns. Him and his wife

706
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:26.719
no longer lived there. They were told that they had

707
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:30.639
to leave, and they went to Florida and stayed with

708
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:36.079
his daughter who lives down in Jacksonville, Florida. And they

709
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.920
came back and when they came back, all of their

710
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:42.280
stuff in their house was gone and it was shipped

711
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:47.719
to Florida, put into a one of the two spaces

712
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.880
down there, and it was paid up for six months.

713
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:55.000
And he's wanted to sell the property, but every time

714
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:59.000
he tries to make his spell it reason another of

715
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:03.280
the bank finance is not going through. And his taxes,

716
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:06.400
his property taxes. Here in Westerninia, you pay property on

717
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:10.360
your real estate property and they're paid up for ten years.

718
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.840
I feel like someone listening knows more about this story,

719
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:16.960
and hopefully they'll reach out. Is that a thing where

720
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:20.440
you've ever gone back to that property to research it

721
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:22.519
or pay much day away from it?

722
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:27.159
Oh, I've went back there and the cave and there's

723
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:31.920
only one cave on that whole property. In that cave,

724
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:35.519
I've been in it before one idea hunted when it

725
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.679
would start pulling the rain or something, that's where I

726
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:40.239
would go and sit. And I've been in that cave

727
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.159
and looked around it, and it stretches back in there,

728
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:48.360
probably one hundred feet and then it starts narrowing down

729
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:52.079
and there's one there's another way out. But if you

730
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:57.280
are if you've got a bunch of gear or whatever on,

731
00:47:57.599 --> 00:47:59.639
you're not gonna get fit through it. You're gonna you

732
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:02.960
have to weingle your way through and it comes out

733
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.559
on the other side of the hill. And I've been

734
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:10.480
back there since this happened. And what happened was the

735
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:15.519
cave has caved in. It's like something all of a sudden,

736
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.400
the hillside came down on top of it. But it's

737
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:21.800
all bedrong, so why would it come down?

738
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:23.639
Has so interesting and.

739
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:25.599
The other entrances closed off? Also.

740
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:28.639
Has there ever been a time when you've been out

741
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:34.599
doing your research over all these years where things escalated

742
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.519
very quickly and you're like, I'd rather not be here

743
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:40.840
in the situation anymore, just I need to get out

744
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:41.159
of here.

745
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:45.800
Oh yeah, that's happened probably a total of eight to

746
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:49.920
nine times, okay, over thirty four years. The thing that

747
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:54.639
the first time that ever happened, I was escorted out

748
00:48:54.920 --> 00:49:00.920
by a bigfoot that would show itself just enough to

749
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:04.639
let me know that it was there and I needed

750
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:09.559
to leave. You get a feeling when you're being watched

751
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:14.280
by it's I don't know if it's just our sixth

752
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:17.440
sense as a human being. We have five senses we

753
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.400
rely on every day, but everybody has that feeling. Everybody's

754
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:26.559
had that feeling of being watched, and that was the

755
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:30.400
feeling that I was getting. And when I was being watched,

756
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:35.800
this bigfoot started showing itself and it would move closer

757
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:39.599
to me. And at that point I know that after

758
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.480
that period of time, I knew that meant they wanted

759
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:48.360
me to go. So I laughed, and the whole time

760
00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:51.480
walking out, if I stopped to take a drink of water,

761
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:55.519
it would show itself. And there's been other times when

762
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:58.679
I've been out there and they'll scream at you from

763
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.880
fifty yards away or fifty feet away, and when they

764
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:07.480
scream at you from that distance, you should leave. They're

765
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:13.719
not happy, they're mad. You've done something to upset them.

766
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.800
And once you upset them, it's like upsetting a two

767
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:19.280
year old. You took your two year old's toy away

768
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:23.360
from it, they throw temper tendrums. And when they get

769
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:27.280
that mad and they start counting their chest or they

770
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:31.199
start rocking back and forth, and they're letting them, letting

771
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.440
theirselves be known. They want you gone, they don't want

772
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:38.920
you there. They want you to leave. And there's been

773
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:42.559
a couple of times when I've seen the ones that

774
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:46.159
you don't want to look at They're ugly. They look

775
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:49.440
like a demon walking around with arrow over it. And

776
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:55.480
there's huge nine to ten feet twelve foot and they

777
00:50:55.559 --> 00:51:00.559
have tests treating from either their lower jawl or the ball,

778
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:02.480
and they don't want you.

779
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:06.159
They look at you like your food. You've been in

780
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:10.119
that situation. Did you say tusks? Can you explain what

781
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.079
that means a little bit more?

782
00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:16.880
Mm hmm, I say, tuss What is actually their canine teeth?

783
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.199
Because their teeth generally look like ours, and they have canines,

784
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.360
but most of them don't have long canines that protrude

785
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:32.360
out of their mouth. Most of them the food that

786
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:36.360
they eat it grinds those down. But when they eat meat,

787
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.800
it breaks up their teeth and they get real jagged,

788
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:44.599
and their canines seem to extend further out outside of

789
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:49.760
their lip. It may be an inch long outside the mouth,

790
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.039
or it might be half an inch. But they have

791
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:58.840
what I would call tuck their meat eater and eat

792
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:02.159
seem to be the ones that eat meat all the time,

793
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:09.719
whether it's human, deer, bear, whatever, or other bigfoot And

794
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:13.039
they get they develop long teeth that's protrude out of

795
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:13.800
their mouths.

796
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:17.719
Got it, Yeah, that is that's very interesting. Have you

797
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:21.000
ever had any interactions with I don't know if you're

798
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.440
familiar with the creature called dog man at all.

799
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:28.159
Yeah. I saw three one time in my life doing

800
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:32.559
an investigation for a man up in Poconas County, and

801
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:38.159
three successive Saturday's. Seen a one that looked more like

802
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:41.639
a coyote, and then I saw one that looked like

803
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:46.360
a dog, a domesticated dog, and then on the third

804
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:50.480
one that looked like a werewolf from underworld. And I

805
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.159
don't mess with them. The actually scared me.

806
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:57.400
You've spent many years looking into the subject of Bigfoot

807
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:01.880
and researching the different areas. When people ask you what

808
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:05.760
you feel Bigfoot is, what's your response to that.

809
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.719
I feel Bigfoot is an ancient creature that came about

810
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:16.320
being from difficult times for what they what they call

811
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:23.519
it nephylene. Sure, Goliath was an ephylene, and I believe

812
00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:29.000
that they were in other societies at the time, not

813
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:34.480
in Israel, not with the children of Israel, and they

814
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:40.159
got pushed out and became fair able to understand language,

815
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:44.000
different languages. Over the years, they've learned the languages and

816
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:49.079
they understand English, and everybody says they have their own language. Yeah,

817
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:53.199
but it's just I've ran across and in a clear

818
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.599
a long time ago, I ran across to a person

819
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:59.480
that kind of analyzed and slowed down the Sierra sounds.

820
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:05.639
And from what they say that they are a combination

821
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:09.639
of languages once you slow it down, it's a combination

822
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:15.639
of human language and with English in it and five

823
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:20.519
or six other different languages like Russian or Chinese or

824
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:27.000
Japanese or languages like that. And these creatures are just

825
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:31.920
they're very smart. They're really smart. I believe they can

826
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:35.760
think on the same level that we do. They're militaristic.

827
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:40.199
The alpha male is the boss. Everybody answers to him,

828
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:45.079
and he has a heavy hand when if someone messes

829
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:48.440
up in the klan, he's the one the disciplines. No

830
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:53.039
matter what size they are, he's the boss. He's the general.

831
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:56.159
If you mess up in the military and the general

832
00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.440
comes down on your head, you might be in a

833
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:04.480
stock and human as human, but as a bigfoot, that

834
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:08.480
heavy hand to his comes down and smashes you across

835
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:12.079
the face, whether you're male or female. And you know,

836
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:15.880
I've seen these things fight each other. You know, I

837
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.119
walked in one time and seen two big males fighting

838
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.559
and that's not a very fun thing to do. I mean,

839
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:26.920
they get in a fight with each other, it's heavy

840
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.880
blows those of their size and their muscle building.

841
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.239
Absolutely. Can you share any more details about that situation

842
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:38.679
was at a certain point part of West Virginia or

843
00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:40.760
any other details about when you saw.

844
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:45.320
That that was that happened in Kentucky, Okay Daniel Bloom

845
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:50.840
National Forest. Dear went down there because I heard about bigfoot.

846
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:55.679
People would reports and came in about other people seeing

847
00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:59.519
bigfoot in that area and the bigfoot being aggressive. And

848
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:02.480
went down there into the forest and went way back

849
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:09.199
out into that forest and heard screams and I went

850
00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:13.199
in to investigate it, me and two other guys and

851
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:17.639
we went into it, walked in there, and it was

852
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.679
late evening when we got in there, and these two

853
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:25.960
bigfoot were pushing each other around, and then one of

854
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:29.960
them took a swing and it was on from there.

855
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:33.960
They were punching each other, trying to gallage each other's

856
00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:38.000
eyes out, lolling around on the ground, throwing each other around.

857
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:44.719
And this was not a wrestling match. This was a

858
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:50.719
all out katie bar the door fight, right. I would

859
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:55.679
make it to where in human terms, a bar fight

860
00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:58.960
that the two biggest guys in the bar got in

861
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:01.239
fight and everything's getting broken.

862
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:04.039
Did you stay around long for that or is it

863
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:06.920
something to worry you cleared out pretty quick.

864
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:12.960
No, we stuck around for about probably two minutes, and

865
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:16.719
after about two minutes of them fighting like that, it

866
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:19.920
was over. I'm done with One of them went away

867
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:24.559
and the other one just turned and walked away. Didn't scream,

868
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:27.760
didn't holler, didn't pound's chest, just turned and walked away.

869
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:31.920
Both of them were hurting most assuredly. And after that

870
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:37.440
point we left and it was the other two guys

871
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:41.079
that one of the guys was with me. He had

872
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:47.000
lost control of himself, and me and the other guy,

873
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.800
we were fairly scared at that point. It was a

874
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:54.400
situation that you walk into a fight and you're like,

875
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:56.760
if one of them would hit one of us, we'd

876
00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:01.199
be dead instantly. And we laughed and went back to

877
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:03.239
the vehicle. When we got back to the vehicle, it

878
00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:07.719
was dark when we got back to the vehicle, and

879
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:11.679
we got in the truck and we went to a

880
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:19.159
convenience store and somebody went in and bought beer, and

881
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:23.559
I drove and those guys drank all the way home.

882
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:25.559
We went through like a case and a half of

883
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:27.639
beer on the way home, and I don't think they

884
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:29.000
were drunk. Yeah.

885
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:32.199
Have you made it over to Land between the Lakes ever?

886
00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:35.599
I've drive truck and I've been past there a bunch

887
00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:40.000
of times. I want to go there and do investigations

888
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:44.000
in there, and have tried to find people to go,

889
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:48.239
and nobody wants to go in there. Nobody wants to

890
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:52.719
go in there and deal with that situation. It doesn't

891
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:56.840
bother me. You're fearful from what I've heard from the

892
00:58:56.920 --> 00:59:02.079
Land between the Lakes, because now that my wife goes

893
00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:07.440
with me, I'm fearful because she's even though she carries

894
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:11.360
a big handgun, I still have to protect her. And

895
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.960
those creatures over there seem to be super aggressive towards

896
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:20.000
humans when they've had sightings. And I know about the

897
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:24.320
incident in the lvl about that family getting ripped apart,

898
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:28.320
and that tends to bother me a little bit because

899
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:31.480
now my wife's want to be with me and tried

900
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:35.079
to get other people to go, and nobody wants to

901
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:38.119
go over there and do any kind of investigation in there,

902
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:43.239
And it's just I want to go. I'm itching to go.

903
00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:46.519
It's just I know better than to go by myself

904
00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:48.079
and do a situation.

905
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:53.639
Like that, So one that's a wise idea. I can

906
00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:56.679
think of probably a few people that would want to

907
00:59:56.960 --> 01:00:00.840
contact you. Is there a way that people can contact you?

908
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:04.079
You know, they can reach out to me at old

909
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:12.679
Bears the N two zero one nine at gmail dot com. Okay,

910
01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:16.599
they can reach out to me to me an email

911
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:19.960
and I'll send them my phone number and they can

912
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:22.079
contact me via the phone at that point.

913
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:25.039
Awesome. So I will put that in the show notes

914
01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:29.599
so people can contact you directly. I can think of

915
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:34.599
a few people that might extend the invitation to you

916
01:00:34.760 --> 01:00:39.840
for lbl old Bear. This has been a really fascinating

917
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:45.199
chat and I appreciate you coming on on weekend. It's

918
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:47.079

922
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:04.800
Yes, sir, if you could be on the phone for

923
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:07.719
just a few minutes, I got one more question for you.

924
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:09.679
