Season 1

What happens when a late-summer hike on Prince of Wales Island turns into a heart-pounding encounter with something massive—and very real? In this gripping episode, Jeremiah speaks with a witness who broke a sacred warning from an Alaskan Native elder and paid the price. You’ll hear firsthand how one wrong turn led to eerie silence in the woods, booming knocks, and a sighting of a 7-foot black-furred creature just 60 feet away near Craig, Alaska. But that’s just the beginning.



From aggressive rock-throwing in Fairbanks to orangutan-like Sasquatch seen swinging through Anchorage trees, and even a terrifying face-to-face water encounter in Kansas—this episode spans chilling encounters across the U.S. and beyond. Hear stories from Chile, Missouri, Connecticut, and more. And don’t miss the terrifying moment when one woman swam within inches of what she believes was a Bigfoot.



These aren’t legends. These are the voices of the people who lived it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.679
So stay with us. How are you doing great? I

11
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:39.200
would love to hear about your experiences in Alaska.

12
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.600
Yes, sure thing, let me just get my headphone. Sorry,

13
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:42.840
caught me off guard here.

14
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:55.799
Oh sure, all right?

15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.079
Can you hear me? Well?

16
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.000
Yeah, yeah, you sound great?

17
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.200
Okay, thank you? Yes, so thanks for having me. My story.

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.159
It took place when I used to live in a

19
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.599
place called Prince of Wales Island. Have you heard of

20
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:09.079
it before?

21
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.480
Absolutely. I've talked to a few people from that location

22
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.719
and there's a ton of bigfoot encounters.

23
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.359
Yes, that is a supernatural hotspot in my opinion. But anyways,

24
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.959
it happened in September of twenty twenty one, so that's

25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:34.079
four years ago now, and I was actually visiting family.

26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.439
I have family out there, right, and there's a native woman,

27
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:44.000
like a Native Alaskan woman, who warned me about the trails.

28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.640
She's like, don't get off the trail whatever you do.

29
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.680
I said, okay, may ask why. She's like, she's like,

30
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.799
one time I went off the trail and I lost time.

31
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.719
Like she went out for a walk in the morning

32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.959
and she got lost in the woods off the trail,

33
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.680
and then she came back and or she left and

34
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:09.759
it was already sundown. So you know, I didn't listen

35
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.560
to her. To this native elder, right, and I'm on

36
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.280
the trail and I go off the trail.

37
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:16.639
Right.

38
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.000
This is near the town called Craig Oh yep, yep.

39
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.240
And so I get off the trail. I reach a

40
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.800
clearing because I'm tired. There's a lot of hills on

41
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.520
this little relatively large park or something. And I reach

42
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.360
a clearing, I drink some water, I sit on a

43
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.000
tree stump and I hear this boom boom boom, like

44
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.439
it was the Bigfoot, I guess, making his presence known.

45
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.560
I guess they've been They've been known to do that

46
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.400
like they like to. It sounded like he grabbed a

47
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.840
tree and whacked it against another tree, not just a branch,

48
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.680
but an actual whole tree. When it happened before before

49
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.159
he before the bigfoot it, I guess we'll say it,

50
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.400
before it smacked the tree, like, the whole forest went

51
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.280
super quiet. And I didn't know that. You know, this

52
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.319
is a major red flag. And so when I turned

53
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.159
to look to know where the noise is coming, I

54
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.240
saw him about sixty feet away, and he was walking

55
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.400
away from me. I saw his like side profile, and

56
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.719
but he for some reason was walking away from me.

57
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.439
I nearly had a heart attack, and I ran back

58
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:37.080
into town.

59
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:48.400
Oh my goodness, that that's extremely intense. Do you remember

60
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.120
what color it is that you saw?

61
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.159
Like a I want to say black, very harry. I

62
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:58.199
couldn't smell him.

63
00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:58.680
I know.

64
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.639
I've listened to some people's big Foot stories and they

65
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.080
say they can smell, you know, his stanch or whatever.

66
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.120
I couldn't smell him. But he looked like he had

67
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.960
black fur, and he looked about seven feet tall. He

68
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.400
looked pretty tall from what I can remember.

69
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.360
Do you know if there's been any other sightings in

70
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.120
that same area outside of Craig.

71
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.839
Yes, again with a native person, a native guy in

72
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.000
the town called Heideberg, which is south of Craig. He's

73
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.800
a local. I don't want to say his name because

74
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.800
I don't want to, you know, I don't have his.

75
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.160
Permission, right, Yeah, we don't have to.

76
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.560
Yeah, but he's a native guy and he lives out

77
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:54.360
there in Heidelberg, and he has seen the Bigfoot while

78
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.519
fishing on the outskirts of the town of Heidelberg.

79
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.399
Most things I hear from this island are either from

80
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.000
around Klook or Craig or also over by Thorn Bay.

81
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.120
Hear a lot from over there.

82
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:23.600
Yes, I would agree, But Heideberg it's more. It's super

83
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.399
remote even by that island standards, and it's like a

84
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.600
really small native village. I believe the guy.

85
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.360
I've also heard something from Heideberg as well, that there

86
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.079
are so many sightings near a mill in Heidelberg that

87
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.319
they had to shut down the mill. I don't know

88
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.839
if you've ever heard that too.

89
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.480
No, I'm not too familiar with Heideberg. I'm only familiar

90
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.680
with Craig and Klowok, and I used to live in

91
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.480
a town called catch A Can. I'm not sure if

92
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:51.639
you heard of that one as well.

93
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.480
Yes, yes, so that's where my mom's.

94
00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.879
Side of the family is from. That's why I live

95
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.040
out there. I live in the lower forty eight now,

96
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.639
But stories I've heard are from that whole region, Yes,

97
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:15.680
klo Walk as well. I think Alaska in general just

98
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.319
a very supernatural hotspot. I'm not sure if you believe

99
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.800
in other you know, stories and legends from that place,

100
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.839
but I think you know, Alaska in general is just

101
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.519
a supernatural hotspot.

102
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.040
Oh, I would agree. There's a lot that definitely happens

103
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.040
out in the wild of Alaska. And I mean the

104
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.800
stories of Prince of Wales are wild. I mean you've

105
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:43.639
got stories of Bigfoot coming inside of schools, grocery stores.

106
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.879
I don't know if you've read any of the books

107
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.040
by Jay Robert Alli, doctor Ali, but they've got some

108
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.920
fantastic stories in there. Have you ever heard any accounts

109
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.720
on that island of bigfoot that look kind of like orangutans?

110
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.040
H No, I'm not familiar with any of those. Did

111
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.800
those originate from Alaska as well? Or from somewhere else.

112
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.920
I've heard, I've talked to at least one hunter on

113
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.079
Prince of Wales that had a sighting of a sasquatch

114
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.240
that he said it looked kind of like an orangutan.

115
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.399
Wow, I have actually, you know what he's just reminded

116
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.079
me of. My cousin who lives in the Big City Anchorage,

117
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.079
claims that she saw one of those that was similar

118
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.360
to an orangutan. She lived in the south side of Anchorage,

119
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.839
which has a lot of wooded areas, and she said

120
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.639
she went out to smoke cigarette on the back porch

121
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.879
and when she went out there, she startled the orangutan

122
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.720
thing and she saw it swinging in the trees again

123
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.519
away from her. She says she never forgot it. I

124
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.959
do believe her. I know it sounds a bit far fetched,

125
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.079
but I think those also exists as well.

126
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.720
Absolutely, And I hear a lot from this area, and

127
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.839
I guess Alaska in general that there's a lot of

128
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.759
aggressive encounters. Have you heard any aggressive encounters yourself. Yes.

129
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.879
My friend used to live in Fairbanks, which is interior

130
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.839
region of Alaska, and he was out on a walk,

131
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.959
solo walk his encounter with a bigfoot. The creature was

132
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.519
like yelling and it sounded far away, but it was

133
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.360
able to throw rocks at him with almost surprising accuracy,

134
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.039
like if he had not moved in time, these rocks

135
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.320
would have hit him in his head. So that would

136
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.799
be my aggressive story that I've heard from a friend.

137
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:44.960
Out in Alaska.

138
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.559
They're really good at throwing rocks and from you know,

139
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.320
from a really far distance, was surprisingly good accuracy.

140
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.559
Oh, I would agree one hundred percent based on different

141
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.039
things I've heard. I've never experienced that. Hopefully not. No

142
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.639
one wants to get hit by a rock for sure,

143
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.360
but but Tama, thank you so much for coming up

144
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.000
and for chatting about this area of Alaska. Is this

145
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.960
a conversation I could put on the Bigfoot podcast that

146
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.240
I have?

147
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.919
Absolutely yes, I am. Thank you for having me, and

148
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.519
you know I believe in Bigfoot. It's I think if

149
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.919
you talk to most of the natives back home in Alaska,

150
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.679
you'll hear that almost all of them believe in Bigfoot.

151
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.600
One hundred percent. Well, thank you for sharing what you've

152
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.120
you've heard over the years. I do appreciate.

153
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.120
Thank you.

154
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:50.759
Have a good one, good good stuff. It is always

155
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.039
great to hear from someone in the Alaska, especially Prince

156
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.320
of Wales area. Hey, for Frederico. How are you hello?

157
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.080
How are you.

158
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.399
Doing great? What brings you up? My friend?

159
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:15.000
Well, I'm I'm from Chile. Sorry by my English. I

160
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.519
like to know if you know something about the South

161
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:25.360
American Bigfoot. We call it here is conk Man.

162
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.480
What do you know? Okay? I don't know a lot

163
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.960
about it. The only thing I've heard about South America

164
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.440
is you have something called the map and Guarry as well?

165
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.000
What do you call it? It's called the map and Guarry,

166
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:43.759
I think.

167
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.679
Madam worried. Well, I only know that about the Skonkman

168
00:10:53.960 --> 00:11:00.519
that is in the southern forest of Chili and Argentina,

169
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:10.840
in a in the deep for a natural forest, about

170
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:19.639
the same latitude, of course, of the South, in the

171
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:28.360
same latitude of Washington, Washington, the state of Washington.

172
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:35.840
Oh, okay, sure, And do you have any accounts to share?

173
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.879
We'd love to hear about what's happening in your country.

174
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:46.240
No, I don't know. I don't have any experience. But

175
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:59.039
in the journals in the nineteen fifties, there's a some

176
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:06.360
people who see the big Foot in the southern forest.

177
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:16.799
I think they say that they came from another dimension.

178
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.159
What do you know about that?

179
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.879
You know, I've heard a few things. Some people do

180
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.919
think that they can come through portals. I've heard that

181
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.879
a few times. There's been at least one famous sighting

182
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.960
in Utah over on a skinwalker ranch where they actually

183
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.639
saw one come through a portal up on the mesa

184
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.000
of the ranch. And this is a long time ago,

185
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.200
so there are times where people have experienced things. But

186
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.360
you know, no if anyone knows one hundred percent, since

187
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.200
we haven't been able to study one, but there are

188
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:57.879
definitely accounts where they've been seeing come through portals.

189
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.840
Another question, you what do you know about the I

190
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:09.960
don't know the Mount Rainier that the United the State

191
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:19.399
Army was involved in some help with the bigfoots.

192
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.000
You might be talking about Mount Saint Helen's when there

193
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:32.279
was the big explosion back in the nineteen eighties. A

194
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.639
lot of people have stories about how bigfoot were found

195
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:42.200
that were hurt in that area and they were you know,

196
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.399
taken off by helicopter things like that. I've never talked

197
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:51.200
to anyone that has directly been involved with that, but

198
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.919
there are a lot of stories that you will hear,

199
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.200
so that might be what you're talking about. I mean,

200
00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.840
there are plenty of sightings over by Mountaineer as well

201
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.840
as it's a huge area and there's there's a lot

202
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.440
of different sightings over there over the years. But I

203
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.279
appreciate you coming up and talking for a while. Frederico, Hey, Kenny,

204
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.799
how are you do you have a story to share

205
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.360
about the Missouri Monster?

206
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:18.519
Uh?

207
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:25.559
When I seen him, it was about maybe two hundred yards,

208
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:35.279
middle of the afternoon, was deer hunting, and it I

209
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.399
always I was always taught when I was younger, younger

210
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.039
to just sit still and just watch the woods because

211
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.559
you see stuff move. You see movement better than you

212
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:50.039
do when stuff's just sitting still. And it a nice

213
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.480
buck started trotting into the woods. We got a ruling

214
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.679
in Missouri to where they have to have more than

215
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.039
four points on one side before you could shoot him.

216
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.200
So I'm I mean, you always want to make sure

217
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.120
that it's a legal deer. And I took bead down

218
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.240
on it and it was only what we call a

219
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:15.519
basket six, so it only had six points, and the

220
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:22.039
deer was walking from left to right. What I'm saying,

221
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.039
I'm assuming that it was big mo because it was

222
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.480
pretty good size. He was on the right and the

223
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:37.360
deer walked within maybe ten twenty feet of it and

224
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.799
got spooked, and it looked like it tried to reach

225
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.679
out for it. I don't know if it was trying

226
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.639
to get food or what. I mean, I don't know

227
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:53.720
that much about them, but it's like it turned and

228
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:58.679
looked my way, looked at the deer running away, and

229
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.159
I don't know where it went from there. I lost

230
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.840
sight of it, but I went to the area where

231
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.080
it was at and measured from the ground to the

232
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.840
tree limb that I saw closest to him. The tree

233
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.960
limb would have been about eleven foot and I'd say

234
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.080
he was about nine.

235
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.000
Oh my goodness, wow. Well was it completely covered in

236
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.559
hair like the Missouri Monster.

237
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:24.879
Was said to be.

238
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.159
It was really dark. I mean luckily there was snow

239
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:30.720
on the ground, so I mean I could see the

240
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:35.279
stuff around it. But what got me was that there

241
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.320
there was only like maybe five or six footprints, and

242
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.720
it's like, where did it go? I mean, there was

243
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.440
a lot of big trees that could have clumb a tree.

244
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.440
I followed the footprints, but it's like they walked into

245
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:54.480
a door and walked away.

246
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.240
I don't know.

247
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.279
I can't explain it.

248
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.399
So you saw it. But then you were also following

249
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.400
the footprints as well. Yeah, yeah, okay, Now I didn't get.

250
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.079
No molds or nothing like that. I didn't this, Like

251
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.039
I said, this was in the middle of deer season.

252
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.160
There was snow on the ground now and tree cover.

253
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.640
I mean it's there's a lot of leaves and stuff.

254
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.839
So I mean, there was only like a couple that

255
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.599
were full footprints. And I'm an eleven and a half

256
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.400
four e and his foot was a lot bigger than mine.

257
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.400
Oh my goodness. Wow. We got a Johnny's asking did

258
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:35.240
you did you take any pictures at all?

259
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.079
No, I didn't.

260
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.119
We don't.

261
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.440
We don't hunt with our phones or nothing like that.

262
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.079
So that I mean, if you're out there in your

263
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.079
phone beats or whatever. I mean, that just told every

264
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:48.799
animal within. I mean it was back in the truck,

265
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.640
but I didn't think anything to go get any pictures

266
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.240
or anything. I mean, I honestly, later on, when I

267
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.079
told Dad about it, He's like, now, you know, we

268
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.880
don't allow drinking in the woods, and I'm like, Dad,

269
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.880
I swear I haven't been drinking, but it exactly the

270
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.720
one thing that kind of got me was is it

271
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.640
it never put off anything, because I mean I've heard

272
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.480
people tell stories that, oh I seen him and I

273
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.039
was scared to death, and he's stunk, and there wasn't

274
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.599
no bad smell in the woods. And I mean, I'm

275
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.799
not saying I'm a brave man, but I mean I

276
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.599
did have a gun, but it never put a vibe

277
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:39.599
off like I should be scared. I mean, it's like,

278
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.319
like I said, I don't know if it was reaching

279
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.200
for the deer for food or was it reaching for

280
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.599
the deer so I couldn't shoot the deer. I mean,

281
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:52.759
I honestly, I don't know, but it was, it was.

282
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:54.519
It was very unusual.

283
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:59.240
Let's put it that a way. Can you share the

284
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.079
area as that happening.

285
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:10.359
Yeah? Are you familiar with the Saint Joseph, Kansas City area? Sure, Okay,

286
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:16.599
if you're in Saint Joe you'll go east and it's

287
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.480
called the third Fork of the Platte. Yeah, the Platte

288
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:27.480
River that runs north to south and where our farm

289
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.240
was at. We had what was it? It was about

290
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.799
about a quarter mile wide, about just a little over

291
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:39.079
a half mile long, so it's pretty good sized place.

292
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.119
But lots of lots of trees, lots of water. I

293
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.279
mean lots of lots of everything. I mean there was

294
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.880
we had every every wildlife on the property that was

295
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:51.440
this native to Missouri.

296
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.720
So the north of Kansas City then sounds like.

297
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.319
Yeah, north of Kansas City. Yeah, if you go out

298
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.440
thirty sixth Highway, you'll go north up towards Clarksdale.

299
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.680
Okay, So about Clarksdale, Yeah, there's I've heard a few

300
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.559
things up there. There's an area called Monkey Mountain where

301
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:17.079
there's been some activity, you know that place, Yep, yep.

302
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:23.799
People have stuff happen up there. Hm. Well, that's awesome.

303
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.680
I appreciate you sharing about your experience, Kenny. Is this

304
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.200
something where I can use this conversation we've had for

305
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:32.759
my big Foot podcast that I have?

306
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:33.799
Yeah?

307
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.039
Sure, all right, well perfect, Well. I appreciate you coming up.

308
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.839
I've got a few other people to check in with.

309
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.440
But you have a great risk of your night, sir,

310
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:44.720
you too.

311
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.680
Sir, you have a good day.

312
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:50.759
Thanks for talking, Thanks for listening. Julia. How's it going, Hi,

313
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.880
I'm all right? Are you good? Good? So do you

314
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.119
have a story to share?

315
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.880
Well? I have several, but the one in Kansas is

316
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:05.319
the best. I have five kids, and it was one

317
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:09.119
of my kids's birthday. And we lived in Fort Scott, Kansas,

318
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:11.200
and to get to the lake you have to get

319
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.519
there early to get a barbecue grill. So we gathered

320
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.119
all of our stuff into the van and we went

321
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.920
to the lake, and me, being younger, I was like,

322
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.519
I'll be right back. So I went and I got

323
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.640
out of the van and while they weren't getting all

324
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.519
the stuff out the vand I ran to the lake

325
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.359
and I swam and I swam and I swam, and

326
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.799
then when I popped up, there was a head in

327
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.480
front of me. And I was like, is that a

328
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.039
dead person? And I was like no, because it would

329
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.920
be floating right.

330
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.680
But then.

331
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:51.720
I af to like went to try to touch it,

332
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:56.559
and it went back and I was like, okay, dude,

333
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.839
you're kind of freaking me out. Can you take your

334
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:05.240
out of your base, you know? And he didn't answer me.

335
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.720
And I was like, well, we're fixing to have barbecue

336
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:13.480
for my daughter's birthday and you could come if you

337
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.200
just like to tell me who you are, you know,

338
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.440
because you know we're gonna have a big birthday bash.

339
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.440
You see the kids getting all this stuff out of

340
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.240
the van and my fiance and it still didn't say

341
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.799
anything to me, and so I started swimming backwards slowly,

342
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.960
you know, to see if it would follow me, and

343
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.119
it was following me face to face.

344
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.000
Well, I was face to face with this thing.

345
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.960
In my face, like I'm all nervous, my heart's beating

346
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.599
the class, but but it was in my face.

347
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:49.880
I just kept talking to it.

348
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:54.160
I was like, look, man, I don't know why you're

349
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:58.000
not talking or anything, but you're really freaking me out.

350
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:00.720
I don't, I don't, I don't under stand why you're

351
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.880
not speaking to me, but like, why are you following me?

352
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.680
You know? And I still had to keep swimming backwards

353
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.119
because I didn't want to take my face off of it,

354
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.240
you know, because if I take my face off of it,

355
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.880
you could like grab me and drown me or I

356
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.200
don't know something, you know. So I just kept butterflying,

357
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:23.799
swimming backwards slowly.

358
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.759
And this happened all.

359
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:28.960
The way until I got my I made sure that

360
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.480
I got to where my feet touched, and then I

361
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.200
made sure I went to my knees so that I

362
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:39.160
could jump up and run, because you can't run when

363
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.519
your feet touched, you know what I'm saying.

364
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:46.440
So I waited until my knees caught the ground.

365
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.440
And then I looked back at my kids, you know,

366
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.640
all this stuff out the vand and I was like, look,

367
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.319
they're waiting for us, So all we have to do is,

368
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.599
you know, get out of the water. So I got

369
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.640
up and I took off running as fast as I

370
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.880
could because I was still in water. And when I did,

371
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.400
I turned back around and looked and it was gone.

372
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.160
So it was black and it was hair all in

373
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.799
his face, and it was either a.

374
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.799
Ghost or a big foot.

375
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.880
But I think it was a bigfoot because it followed

376
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:28.720
me and it gestured to me, and it had facial

377
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.079
expressions and.

378
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:35.960
Like you could barely see his black eyes, but like it.

379
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:41.400
Wouldn't say anything back, and it followed me. So there's

380
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.519
no way it could have followed me seventy feet from

381
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.400
the shore from all the way into the middle of

382
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.000
the lake, all the way back while I'm swimming backwards

383
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:55.119
butterfly swimming, you know what I mean, Like I'm starting

384
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.680
to have an anxiety attack. But anyway, whenever I got

385
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:04.079
to the car, I told my kids and my fiancee

386
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.279
put everything back in the car. We're leaving right now.

387
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.480
And they're like, but why And I'm like, cause we're

388
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.640
not going swimming here. We're not going and they're like,

389
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.680
but but but mom, please, and I'm like, no, no,

390
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.160
we're not going here. We're going home right now. And

391
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.799
I made them put everything back in the car and

392
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.880
we went home. I think that that bigfoot was taking

393
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.720
a swim and I interrupted it, you know what I'm saying.

394
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.720
And I think that me talking to it to its

395
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:36.000
face made it more relaxed to be around me or something.

396
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:39.680
I don't know, but I know that it's scaredly crep

397
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.079
out of me. And if it was a dead body,

398
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.400
it would have been floating and there wouldn't have been

399
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.160
no swimming with me, you know what I'm saying. Like

400
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:55.720
it was, it was huge and black and furry, and

401
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:00.839
it was staying with me the whole time. So wow,

402
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.480
I'm pretty sure that that was a bigfoot.

403
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.279
And so yeah, that's incredible. Yeah, yeah, I've.

404
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.160
Seen the two other times.

405
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:17.920
I've seen one in Arkansas and one in Missouri, but

406
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:21.480
that one is the one that gives me most anxiety

407
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.119
because like, you don't know if it's a dead body

408
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:28.799
or like a ghost, or or if you're seeing crap,

409
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:33.200
if you're mentally ill. You know, you don't know if

410
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.440
it's gonna take you under, You don't know what's gonna happen,

411
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:37.119
you know what I mean.

412
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.240
And it kept looking over at like my kids.

413
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:43.319
So I think that it knew that I had the kids,

414
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.519
and then I was telling the truth, and I don't know,

415
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:50.160
I just I knew I had to get away from

416
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.960
it though, you know, and I couldn't let my kids

417
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.440
go swimming in that water after that, because.

418
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.240
Well, if it took one of my kids, you know,

419
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:08.039
so yeah, absolutely did it did. It's it's really wild.

420
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:10.440
Did his face look more like a human or like

421
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.599
a primate?

422
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.880
That's that's what that's that's the thing. It looked like

423
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.119
a human, and that's I thought it was somebody messing

424
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.559
with me, you know. But it was huge, and so

425
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:23.279
I'm like trying to figure it out while I'm swimming backwards.

426
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:25.960
And that's why I continued talking to it, because I

427
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.319
thought it would maybe, you know, take his hand and

428
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.480
move its hair out of its face, say hey, my

429
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:32.400
name is George.

430
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.680
You know, yeah, I'll come to your party. But it

431
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.720
didn't do any of that.

432
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.559
It just kept looking at me, looking at my kids,

433
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.640
and then his hair was just in his face and

434
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:46.119
it was huge, and you could see the brown eyes

435
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:50.559
and him looking and stuff, and so you couldn't really

436
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:52.640
see his nose because his hair was in his face,

437
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.799
but his mouth was right there, but you could just

438
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.079
see pieces of it because his hair was in his face.

439
00:27:59.160 --> 00:27:59.839
You know what I'm saying.

440
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.920
I don't know with a girl or a boy, but

441
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.759
whatever it was, it.

442
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:10.720
Was huge, big black, and it it let me talk

443
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.160
to it all the way back seventy yards, I mean,

444
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.799
because I swim out that far just to get them

445
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.759
in a loan without my kids, because I had black kids, you.

446
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.400
Know what I'm saying.

447
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.519
So I was like, you know, I'm going to swim

448
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.319
for ha ha, you know, but the ha ha was

449
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:31.880
on me because it was not It was not a

450
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:34.000
human being and it was not.

451
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.400
It was not normal.

452
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:43.160
What was the I went back to that again. Oh absolutely,

453
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.240
What was the closest you were to it when you

454
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:46.440
were in the water. Do you think.

455
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.279
It was right in my face?

456
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.440
Like like I could touch it if I wanted to,

457
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.640
but I was afraid if I touched it, it might react,

458
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.079
you know what I'm saying, And I might piss it

459
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.880
off or something, and it might do something to me,

460
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:05.319
you know, so, and I didn't want to die because

461
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.359
my kids are right there, and what would they do

462
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.160
if their mom just disappeared up the water and they

463
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.799
didn't have a mother anymore? You know.

464
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:16.039
So all these things are going through your.

465
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:19.279
Head while you're trying to butterfly swim backwards, you know,

466
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.359
because you don't want to go. You don't want to

467
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.559
kick very far or put your hands on it or anything,

468
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.079
or kick it maybe on accident or anything like that,

469
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:30.000
you know what I'm.

470
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.599
Saying, So like you have to do it slow and

471
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.519
so slowly.

472
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:36.680
I had to back up, and it was in my

473
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.839
face the whole time until I got to my knees

474
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.279
where I knew I could at least get up and

475
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.359
try to run, because it's hard to run in water.

476
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:49.720
And when I turned back, it was gone. So I

477
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.319
think that it went under and went somewhere.

478
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.640
I don't know, But ye, what was I don't absolutely

479
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.319
what leake was this that you were at?

480
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:01.440
Well, that's the thing.

481
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:03.960
I'm fifty five now and my kids were kids and

482
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.240
they're forty now. So it was a lake about thirty

483
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.680
forty minutes from Port Scott.

484
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.000
Kansas, Okay, and we used to go to it all

485
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:16.480
the time, but this time.

486
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.599
We went early in the morning, and because I wanted

487
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:21.839
to get a grill, because it was so hard at

488
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.880
that lake to get a grill because everybody goes there,

489
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.480
you know. So it wasn't very far from Fort Scott, Kansas,

490
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:31.920
because that's where I used.

491
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.160
To kids women all the time.

492
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.920
And I never I never took him back.

493
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:38.839
I don't blame that at all.

494
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.640
There's no way a dead body would have would have

495
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.720
followed me all the way back to shore and looked

496
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:47.119
at my kids and everything else, you know.

497
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.160
And so I really totally believe that was a big foot.

498
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.319
I don't think it's think Jim Mermaid's right exactly.

499
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.319
Do you think it was maybe walking on the floor

500
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.119
of h I mean it was swimming.

501
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:06.880
I mean at first I was I was in the

502
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.000
middle of the lake, so it had to have been

503
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:13.119
like swimming some of the time. But eventually it probably

504
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.759
could touch before way before I could, you know what

505
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.279
I'm saying.

506
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:19.839
Like, But yeah, it was like one of the scariest

507
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:24.960
times in my life. To make sure I came with

508
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.720
my family and everything, you know, So.

509
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.039
None of your kids or anyone else noticed or said

510
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.000
anything about seeing something that was close to you out there.

511
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.640
Correct, they were. I had a big black vand and

512
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:42.279
they were unpacking.

513
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:46.039
All of the the ice chests and all of the

514
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.920
barbecue stuff and all the birthday presents and the paper

515
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:52.599
that go on the table, and the cups and the

516
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.960
party hats, and they were they were all busy doing.

517
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.279
That while I was being a smart thinking I got

518
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:04.359
to swimper, gotcha. Yeah on me, you know what I'm saying?

519
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:09.759
Yeah, right, Well, what year was this? Again? What year

520
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:10.039
was this?

521
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:12.759
Well, it was my.

522
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:16.279
Daughter's fifth birthday and she's forty now, so it was

523
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:17.480
like thirty five years ago.

524
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.319
Yeah, but it was it's still scary to me to

525
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:22.880
this day.

526
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:31.000
Was it ninety, that'd be ninety, nineteen ninety, yeah, nineteen ninety. Yeah,

527
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.680
I'm like, which is interesting because there's actually a sighting

528
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:42.240
report for uh where we at Fort Scott, Kansas from

529
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:47.279
nineteen ninety six. It's there was a sighting over by

530
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.519
the over by the golf course in Fort Scott.

531
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:52.400
Wow.

532
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.400
Yeah, I totally know.

533
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:56.720
I've seen that one late.

534
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.119
And you could see, you know, like I said, the

535
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.279
hair was in space, but I can see his eyes

536
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.640
going back and forth, looking excuse me, at me and

537
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:11.160
my kids, and listening to me like it could understand me,

538
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.559
like it had knowledge.

539
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:14.160
It was not stupid.

540
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.680
It like, I don't know, I don't know.

541
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.720
I don't think that it understood English, but I know

542
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.440
it was a smart thing.

543
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.519
It wasn't stupid because it followed me face to face

544
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.960
with me, like I mean, it was not even ten

545
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:36.680
inches away from my face. It was exact, yeah, And

546
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:41.519
so I was just like like mesmerized by the hair

547
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:46.519
and the eyes movement and the mouth, you know, moving

548
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.000
a little bit here and there, and it dotting back

549
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.440
and forth between me and the kids, getting this stuff

550
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.720
out and everything, and.

551
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.599
I was just like, this thing can kill me.

552
00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:58.440
You know, what is it?

553
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.240
You know, I don't know, but they say there's different

554
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.599
kinds of big foots, and so some of them are

555
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.960
swamp ones. I don't know, and they do have a

556
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:12.320
lot of hair in their face.

557
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:16.000
I don't know, but I think that I think that

558
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:18.360
that because it was in the water, the hair just

559
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:23.239
like fell down more, you know, like, and I don't

560
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.000
think that it wanted me to see his face. I

561
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:27.440
think that was the whole point of keeping the hair

562
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.440
in his face. Because I asked him several times if

563
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.599
you would take his hair out of his face, you know,

564
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:34.000
because he was.

565
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:42.079
Freaking me absolutely. Mmm. So ten inches away, could you

566
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.719
tell what color it's the skin of its face was?

567
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:48.199
Uh? I?

568
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:51.960
I could tell that it had brown eyes and.

569
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:58.679
It was not white, but it was not black, it

570
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:02.960
was it was darker though, because it kind of all

571
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:06.239
was together, you know what I mean, Like like like

572
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.639
the hair and the and the face kind of matched

573
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:15.519
a little bit because you couldn't see white. The mouth

574
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.000
was a little bit whiter, but and the eyes, the

575
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.880
eyes had white in them around the eyeballs, you know.

576
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:29.559
But like, it wasn't a dead body, and it wasn't

577
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:34.760
a mermaid, and it had it had It was smart,

578
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.039
and it was listening to me and following me.

579
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:44.320
So it followed me on purpose, right, It was intentional.

580
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:47.679
And it followed you. Sorry, go ahead.

581
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:50.000
It was listening to me.

582
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.599
As it followed you and you got into more shallow water.

583
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:00.880
Were you able to see more of it as it

584
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.199
also got into shallow water?

585
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:04.480
No.

586
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.760
When I when I got to my knees, I looked

587
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.840
back at my kids and I just got up and

588
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.039
ran because it was too scary it felt like forever

589
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.559
to get back to shore, and me talking to it

590
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:18.480
the whole time, and it not saying nothing to me,

591
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.920
and everything that I just got more scared and more

592
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:22.280
scared of the brother I went.

593
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:24.360
So by the time I got to my knees, all

594
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:26.519
I wanted to do was get to my kids and

595
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.199
get them back in the vand and get out of.

596
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:29.599
There, you know what I mean.

597
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:31.920
Like I didn't came around to see what it was,

598
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:34.840
you know.

599
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:39.480
And besides that, bigfoots could lay down that their master

600
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.559
hiders and they can lay down, and it could have

601
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.480
when it got down to the lower part, it could

602
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.199
have just laid down and like kept its face up

603
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:50.960
out the water, you know, and it shouldered.

604
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.039
Or it could have set down even you know, because

605
00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:55.280
I saw one in Hot.

606
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:58.440
Hot Springs, Arkansas, where I live now, when I went hiking,

607
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.760
and when we went first went up that mountain, there

608
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:03.440
was nothing there.

609
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:08.519
But when we came back down, there was a body

610
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:13.000
sitting in this hole that was like.

611
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.400
Made like it wasn't a cave, but it was like

612
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:19.719
trees and stuff all around it, and it looked like

613
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:20.239
a hole.

614
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.559
And and I told my niece, I said, is that.

615
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:30.000
Is there bears in Hot Springs, Arkansas because it's a

616
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.159
national park. And she was like, I don't know, Tia,

617
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:36.760
and I was like, I don't know either, but that

618
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:40.360
that that thing looks like it's sitting down Indian style.

619
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:43.440
And she said, she said, do you smell that tea?

620
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.679
I said, yeah, its mouth is kind of weird. And

621
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.000
then it moved, it moved its arm, and we just

622
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.639
took off running from that point because because it it

623
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.360
was just sitting there and it was black also, but

624
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.559
I couldn't see its face anything from because it was

625
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.119
inside of all like like a hole with a shelter,

626
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.920
but it was sitting. It was sitting Indian style, So

627
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.559
bear don't sit Indian style. But that one wasn't as

628
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:17.559
scary as the one when I was swimming with that

629
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:18.159
other one.

630
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.280
Yeah, I mean, that's that's hard to be being ten

631
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:26.320
inches away for sure. But you know, thank you so

632
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.320
much for coming up. Is this a conversation where I

633
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.000
can use the audio from it in the Bigfoot podcast

634
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:33.360
that I have?

635
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:35.000
Yeah?

636
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.079
Yeah, yeah, I've told a couple people, but nobody ever

637
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:42.159
believed me. And why would I lie about that? Why?

638
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:48.239
Yeah? You have cared about that, right, Yeah, yeah, live.

639
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:48.960
It was the dead body.

640
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:50.400
It would have been floating, you know what I'm saying,

641
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:53.440
and it would have followed me, and it wouldn't have

642
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:57.440
been smart enough to be paying attention to me, you know,

643
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.519
and looking at my kids and stuff, and and looking

644
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:01.480
back at me. You know.

645
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:02.960
I didn't take my eyes off.

646
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:04.719
Of it until I got my knee to the ground

647
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:06.719
and turned around, looked at my kids and ran for

648
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.159
my kids until I'm getting the car now, getting the

649
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.000
car now, And they all started crying and stuff, and

650
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:12.679
I'm like, no, we're leaving. We're leaving right now.

651
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.400
We're leaving right now.

652
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.800
And we all went to that lake so many times before,

653
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:19.159
but there was always a lot of people there.

654
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:21.880
You know, I can tell it. It really affected you.

655
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.320
But thank you so much for coming up, and maybe

656
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:27.679
we'll talk to you again in the future sometime.

657
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.559
But thank you, thank you for listening, because that's the

658
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.440
first tip I ever got to really tell somebody, because

659
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.440
most people just like, oh, yeah, whatever and don't even bother.

660
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.239
Yeah, we've got reptile once to come up. Hey there,

It brings you up today, I'm good as well.

664
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.199
Awesome, I've spoken to you in the past, but I

665
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.480
wanted to give you a little bit of an update.

666
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:11.599
So I have been hearing what sound like giant coyotes

667
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.800
in my backyard recently. And I know what a coyote

668
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.039
sounds like, I know what dear sound like.

669
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:20.880
I know what.

670
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.280
The other sounds that they've made in the past, which

671
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.719
would be a barred owl. And I've been about two

672
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:32.800
years ago. I was woken up in the middle of

673
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.159
the night, around one forty in the morning to what

674
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.960
sounded like a barred owl on steroids, and it was

675
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:43.199
so loud that I heard it over my AC unit,

676
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:44.760
which is a window unit.

677
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:45.960
They're very loud.

678
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:51.000
I was woken up from a dead sleep over that

679
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:56.760
sound drawn to my window, and then I proceeded it

680
00:40:56.920 --> 00:41:00.639
proceeded to hear what sounded like a barred al, but

681
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:02.719
it didn't sound just like a bart out. It sounds

682
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.760
like a huge bart out. And then it was responded

683
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.360
by another bart owl, but far farther away, and then

684
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:18.280
another one went a little bit farther in the distance,

685
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:24.079
maybe maybe like a mile away. And then the original

686
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.280
one made a difference sound and it actually went like

687
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:28.880
a instead of the.

688
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:31.559
It was more like a.

689
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:37.000
And the bass came out and I was like, no way,

690
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:41.400
this is crazy. And then right after that they started

691
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:45.440
with the samurai chatter straight out of the Sierra Sounds,

692
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:48.400
and I was floored because it was at one forty

693
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.360
in the morning, My wife is leaving, my kids are sleeping,

694
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.320
and I am the only one that's experiencing and hearing this,

695
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:01.440
and it was just so surreal hearing it. And I

696
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:04.320
would come to find out that they had followed me

697
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.119
all the way from glenn Ellis Campground in New Hampshire

698
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:13.199
in twenty seventeen, but they weren't or they chose not

699
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:18.159
to communicate with me until someone, a close friend of

700
00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:22.400
mine who is a higher frequency individual, said they.

701
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:26.239
Are there, and they are there because of you. Yep.

702
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.400
And that's pretty much the background of what happened. And

703
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:39.719
for updated for updated information, I've been hearing them intermittently

704
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:44.000
as early as eight thirty and at night. I mean,

705
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.920
we're not talking extremely late. I would say about maybe

706
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:49.960
two weeks ago, my son and I were in our

707
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.719
backyard and we were at the fire pit, and I

708
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:55.719
sound we weren't doing anything out of the ordinary, it

709
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:00.920
was just talking. And then suddenly like it was really close.

710
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:04.360
I'm talking probably like fifty feet away. I heard what

711
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:08.199
sounded like a barn owl. But then that wasn't what

712
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:08.880
freaked me out.

713
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:09.199
It was.

714
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:15.039
It was like a peacock, but like a giant peacock

715
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:23.159
just made an extremely loud screech so close. And it's

716
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:27.639
just a matter of knowing what sounds are, you know,

717
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:34.280
are normal, and what their capabilities are. And as recent

718
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.280
as two days ago, my mechanic and I were working

719
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:40.920
on my car in my front yard and it wasn't

720
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.320
that late again, maybe maybe eight thirty nine o'clock. He

721
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:48.360
heard them, and I already knew that they you know,

722
00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:53.639
the sounds that they were making. He automatically said like, dude,

723
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:56.480
what is that? Like, what are those sounds? I'm like,

724
00:43:56.559 --> 00:44:00.239
you wouldn't believe me if I told you, And he

725
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:03.920
basically was freaked out about it, and he was like,

726
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:08.280
I know coyote sounds. That is not a coyote. What

727
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:10.800
sound is that? It's like you got some weird You

728
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:13.719
got some weird going on in your woods. And then

729
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.800
I proceeded to tell him that I, you know, maybe

730
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:20.199
like a couple months ago, I put two or three

731
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.559
apples high up in a tree and I wedged it

732
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:27.719
then in there about fifteen feet up. Nothing could take

733
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.599
that down. Nothing could take that down unless it was them.

734
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.239
And four days after, five days after, both apples were gone,

735
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:40.280
no sign of consumption, no sign or pieces of apple,

736
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:43.320
of a little bird or animals getting to it. There's

737
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:47.800
nothing there, nothing. So they're back there. And we're not

738
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:52.440
talking about national forest, we're not talking about stay forced.

739
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:59.880
We're talking seriously less than a quarter maybe a mile radius.

740
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:04.039
And it blows my mind that they chose this area.

741
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.280
And then I'd always go back to my friend who

742
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:11.239
told me they are there because of you, because you

743
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:14.840
have a higher frequency. They were attracted to you, and

744
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:18.360
that's why they were there. And that just blows my

745
00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:22.239
mind that they chose this area. And it's hard to,

746
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.960
you know, fathom that they would do that. But also

747
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:33.000
I've experienced it. I've heard them, and my dog in

748
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:39.920
several cases has stared into the woods and barked and

749
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:47.280
was very very agitated and on edge, just barking into

750
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:49.960
the woods during the summer of last year or something

751
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:53.760
like that. But she knows there's things back there. My

752
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:58.519
family knows. But when you tell your parents stuff like this.

753
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.920
You know, they don't believe you. Friends usually don't believe

754
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:06.159
you either, and I didn't think my mechanic was going

755
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:09.920
to believe me either. But he heard the sounds and

756
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:12.599
he was he's a hunter, and he's like, I've never

757
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:16.239
heard anything like it. So that's what's been going on.

758
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:23.159
I'm in slow eastern Connecticut, so I'm not near any

759
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:27.960
national park. I'm not near any state park. There's nothing

760
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:34.719
around for them to care about, except for if they

761
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.639
were indeed attracted to me personally.

762
00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:44.039
But yeah, I don't hear a lot from southeast Connecticut,

763
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.559
and that's great to hear an update for you. Thank you.

764
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:49.280
I'm glad you came up. Do you mind if I

765
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:53.880
use this update in the podcast I have?

766
00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:58.119
