Alaska Warning: Don’t Leave the Trail

0:00 You're listening to Bigla Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. How are you doing great? I would love to hear about your experiences in Alaska. Yes, sure thing, let me just get my headphone. Sorry, caught me off guard here.

0:44 Oh sure, all right? Can you hear me? Well? Yeah, yeah, you sound great? Okay, thank you? Yes, so thanks for having me. My story. It took place when I used to live in a place called Prince of Wales Island. Have you heard of it before? Absolutely. I've talked to a few people from that location and there's a ton of bigfoot encounters. Yes, that is a supernatural hotspot in my opinion. But anyways, it happened in September of twenty twenty one, so that's four years ago now, and I was actually visiting family.

1:34 I have family out there, right, and there's a native woman, like a Native Alaskan woman, who warned me about the trails. She's like, don't get off the trail whatever you do. I said, okay, may ask why. She's like, she's like, one time I went off the trail and I lost time. Like she went out for a walk in the morning and she got lost in the woods off the trail, and then she came back and or she left and it was already sundown. So you know, I didn't listen to her. To this native elder, right, and I'm on the trail and I go off the trail.

2:16 Right. This is near the town called Craig Oh yep, yep. And so I get off the trail. I reach a clearing because I'm tired. There's a lot of hills on this little relatively large park or something. And I reach a clearing, I drink some water, I sit on a tree stump and I hear this boom boom boom, like it was the Bigfoot, I guess, making his presence known. I guess they've been They've been known to do that like they like to. It sounded like he grabbed a tree and whacked it against another tree, not just a branch, but an actual whole tree. When it happened before before he before the bigfoot it, I guess we'll say it, before it smacked the tree, like, the whole forest went super quiet. And I didn't know that. You know, this is a major red flag. And so when I turned to look to know where the noise is coming, I saw him about sixty feet away, and he was walking away from me. I saw his like side profile, and but he for some reason was walking away from me.

3:32 I nearly had a heart attack, and I ran back into town. Oh my goodness, that that's extremely intense. Do you remember what color it is that you saw? Like a I want to say black, very harry. I couldn't smell him. I know. I've listened to some people's big Foot stories and they say they can smell, you know, his stanch or whatever. I couldn't smell him. But he looked like he had black fur, and he looked about seven feet tall. He looked pretty tall from what I can remember.

4:19 Do you know if there's been any other sightings in that same area outside of Craig. Yes, again with a native person, a native guy in the town called Heideberg, which is south of Craig. He's a local. I don't want to say his name because I don't want to, you know, I don't have his. Permission, right, Yeah, we don't have to. Yeah, but he's a native guy and he lives out there in Heidelberg, and he has seen the Bigfoot while fishing on the outskirts of the town of Heidelberg.

5:00 Most things I hear from this island are either from around Klook or Craig or also over by Thorn Bay. Hear a lot from over there. Yes, I would agree, But Heideberg it's more. It's super remote even by that island standards, and it's like a really small native village. I believe the guy. I've also heard something from Heideberg as well, that there are so many sightings near a mill in Heidelberg that they had to shut down the mill. I don't know if you've ever heard that too.

5:42 No, I'm not too familiar with Heideberg. I'm only familiar with Craig and Klowok, and I used to live in a town called catch A Can. I'm not sure if you heard of that one as well. Yes, yes, so that's where my mom's. Side of the family is from. That's why I live out there. I live in the lower forty eight now, But stories I've heard are from that whole region, Yes, klo Walk as well. I think Alaska in general just a very supernatural hotspot. I'm not sure if you believe in other you know, stories and legends from that place, but I think you know, Alaska in general is just a supernatural hotspot.

6:27 Oh, I would agree. There's a lot that definitely happens out in the wild of Alaska. And I mean the stories of Prince of Wales are wild. I mean you've got stories of Bigfoot coming inside of schools, grocery stores. I don't know if you've read any of the books by Jay Robert Alli, doctor Ali, but they've got some fantastic stories in there. Have you ever heard any accounts on that island of bigfoot that look kind of like orangutans? H No, I'm not familiar with any of those. Did those originate from Alaska as well? Or from somewhere else.

7:07 I've heard, I've talked to at least one hunter on Prince of Wales that had a sighting of a sasquatch that he said it looked kind of like an orangutan. Wow, I have actually, you know what he's just reminded me of. My cousin who lives in the Big City Anchorage, claims that she saw one of those that was similar to an orangutan. She lived in the south side of Anchorage, which has a lot of wooded areas, and she said she went out to smoke cigarette on the back porch and when she went out there, she startled the orangutan thing and she saw it swinging in the trees again away from her. She says she never forgot it. I do believe her. I know it sounds a bit far fetched, but I think those also exists as well.

7:59 Absolutely, And I hear a lot from this area, and I guess Alaska in general that there's a lot of aggressive encounters. Have you heard any aggressive encounters yourself. Yes. My friend used to live in Fairbanks, which is interior region of Alaska, and he was out on a walk, solo walk his encounter with a bigfoot. The creature was like yelling and it sounded far away, but it was able to throw rocks at him with almost surprising accuracy, like if he had not moved in time, these rocks would have hit him in his head. So that would be my aggressive story that I've heard from a friend.

8:44 Out in Alaska. They're really good at throwing rocks and from you know, from a really far distance, was surprisingly good accuracy. Oh, I would agree one hundred percent based on different things I've heard. I've never experienced that. Hopefully not. No one wants to get hit by a rock for sure, but but Tama, thank you so much for coming up and for chatting about this area of Alaska. Is this a conversation I could put on the Bigfoot podcast that I have? Absolutely yes, I am. Thank you for having me, and you know I believe in Bigfoot. It's I think if you talk to most of the natives back home in Alaska, you'll hear that almost all of them believe in Bigfoot.

9:35 One hundred percent. Well, thank you for sharing what you've you've heard over the years. I do appreciate. Thank you. Have a good one, good good stuff. It is always great to hear from someone in the Alaska, especially Prince of Wales area. Hey, for Frederico. How are you hello? How are you. Doing great? What brings you up? My friend? Well, I'm I'm from Chile. Sorry by my English. I like to know if you know something about the South American Bigfoot. We call it here is conk Man.

10:27 What do you know? Okay? I don't know a lot about it. The only thing I've heard about South America is you have something called the map and Guarry as well? What do you call it? It's called the map and Guarry, I think. Madam worried. Well, I only know that about the Skonkman that is in the southern forest of Chili and Argentina, in a in the deep for a natural forest, about the same latitude, of course, of the South, in the same latitude of Washington, Washington, the state of Washington.

11:29 Oh, okay, sure, And do you have any accounts to share? We'd love to hear about what's happening in your country. No, I don't know. I don't have any experience. But in the journals in the nineteen fifties, there's a some people who see the big Foot in the southern forest.

12:10 I think they say that they came from another dimension. What do you know about that? You know, I've heard a few things. Some people do think that they can come through portals. I've heard that a few times. There's been at least one famous sighting in Utah over on a skinwalker ranch where they actually saw one come through a portal up on the mesa of the ranch. And this is a long time ago, so there are times where people have experienced things. But you know, no if anyone knows one hundred percent, since we haven't been able to study one, but there are definitely accounts where they've been seeing come through portals.

13:00 Another question, you what do you know about the I don't know the Mount Rainier that the United the State Army was involved in some help with the bigfoots. You might be talking about Mount Saint Helen's when there was the big explosion back in the nineteen eighties. A lot of people have stories about how bigfoot were found that were hurt in that area and they were you know, taken off by helicopter things like that. I've never talked to anyone that has directly been involved with that, but there are a lot of stories that you will hear, so that might be what you're talking about. I mean, there are plenty of sightings over by Mountaineer as well as it's a huge area and there's there's a lot of different sightings over there over the years. But I appreciate you coming up and talking for a while. Frederico, Hey, Kenny, how are you do you have a story to share about the Missouri Monster?

14:18 Uh? When I seen him, it was about maybe two hundred yards, middle of the afternoon, was deer hunting, and it I always I was always taught when I was younger, younger to just sit still and just watch the woods because you see stuff move. You see movement better than you do when stuff's just sitting still. And it a nice buck started trotting into the woods. We got a ruling in Missouri to where they have to have more than four points on one side before you could shoot him.

14:59 So I'm I mean, you always want to make sure that it's a legal deer. And I took bead down on it and it was only what we call a basket six, so it only had six points, and the deer was walking from left to right. What I'm saying, I'm assuming that it was big mo because it was pretty good size. He was on the right and the deer walked within maybe ten twenty feet of it and got spooked, and it looked like it tried to reach out for it. I don't know if it was trying to get food or what. I mean, I don't know that much about them, but it's like it turned and looked my way, looked at the deer running away, and I don't know where it went from there. I lost sight of it, but I went to the area where it was at and measured from the ground to the tree limb that I saw closest to him. The tree limb would have been about eleven foot and I'd say he was about nine.

16:19 Oh my goodness, wow. Well was it completely covered in hair like the Missouri Monster. Was said to be. It was really dark. I mean luckily there was snow on the ground, so I mean I could see the stuff around it. But what got me was that there there was only like maybe five or six footprints, and it's like, where did it go? I mean, there was a lot of big trees that could have clumb a tree. I followed the footprints, but it's like they walked into a door and walked away. I don't know. I can't explain it. So you saw it. But then you were also following the footprints as well. Yeah, yeah, okay, Now I didn't get.

17:04 No molds or nothing like that. I didn't this, Like I said, this was in the middle of deer season. There was snow on the ground now and tree cover. I mean it's there's a lot of leaves and stuff. So I mean, there was only like a couple that were full footprints. And I'm an eleven and a half four e and his foot was a lot bigger than mine. Oh my goodness. Wow. We got a Johnny's asking did you did you take any pictures at all? No, I didn't. We don't. We don't hunt with our phones or nothing like that. So that I mean, if you're out there in your phone beats or whatever. I mean, that just told every animal within. I mean it was back in the truck, but I didn't think anything to go get any pictures or anything. I mean, I honestly, later on, when I told Dad about it, He's like, now, you know, we don't allow drinking in the woods, and I'm like, Dad, I swear I haven't been drinking, but it exactly the one thing that kind of got me was is it it never put off anything, because I mean I've heard people tell stories that, oh I seen him and I was scared to death, and he's stunk, and there wasn't no bad smell in the woods. And I mean, I'm not saying I'm a brave man, but I mean I did have a gun, but it never put a vibe off like I should be scared. I mean, it's like,

18:39 like I said, I don't know if it was reaching for the deer for food or was it reaching for the deer so I couldn't shoot the deer. I mean, I honestly, I don't know, but it was, it was. It was very unusual. Let's put it that a way. Can you share the area as that happening. Yeah? Are you familiar with the Saint Joseph, Kansas City area? Sure, Okay, if you're in Saint Joe you'll go east and it's called the third Fork of the Platte. Yeah, the Platte River that runs north to south and where our farm was at. We had what was it? It was about about a quarter mile wide, about just a little over a half mile long, so it's pretty good sized place.

19:40 But lots of lots of trees, lots of water. I mean lots of lots of everything. I mean there was we had every every wildlife on the property that was this native to Missouri. So the north of Kansas City then sounds like. Yeah, north of Kansas City. Yeah, if you go out thirty sixth Highway, you'll go north up towards Clarksdale. Okay, So about Clarksdale, Yeah, there's I've heard a few things up there. There's an area called Monkey Mountain where there's been some activity, you know that place, Yep, yep. People have stuff happen up there. Hm. Well, that's awesome.

20:24 I appreciate you sharing about your experience, Kenny. Is this something where I can use this conversation we've had for my big Foot podcast that I have? Yeah? Sure, all right, well perfect, Well. I appreciate you coming up. I've got a few other people to check in with. But you have a great risk of your night, sir, you too. Sir, you have a good day. Thanks for talking, Thanks for listening. Julia. How's it going, Hi, I'm all right? Are you good? Good? So do you have a story to share? Well? I have several, but the one in Kansas is the best. I have five kids, and it was one of my kids's birthday. And we lived in Fort Scott, Kansas, and to get to the lake you have to get there early to get a barbecue grill. So we gathered all of our stuff into the van and we went to the lake, and me, being younger, I was like, I'll be right back. So I went and I got out of the van and while they weren't getting all the stuff out the vand I ran to the lake and I swam and I swam and I swam, and then when I popped up, there was a head in front of me. And I was like, is that a dead person? And I was like no, because it would be floating right.

21:47 But then. I af to like went to try to touch it, and it went back and I was like, okay, dude, you're kind of freaking me out. Can you take your out of your base, you know? And he didn't answer me. And I was like, well, we're fixing to have barbecue for my daughter's birthday and you could come if you just like to tell me who you are, you know, because you know we're gonna have a big birthday bash. You see the kids getting all this stuff out of the van and my fiance and it still didn't say anything to me, and so I started swimming backwards slowly, you know, to see if it would follow me, and it was following me face to face.

22:37 Well, I was face to face with this thing. In my face, like I'm all nervous, my heart's beating the class, but but it was in my face. I just kept talking to it. I was like, look, man, I don't know why you're not talking or anything, but you're really freaking me out. I don't, I don't, I don't under stand why you're not speaking to me, but like, why are you following me? You know? And I still had to keep swimming backwards because I didn't want to take my face off of it, you know, because if I take my face off of it, you could like grab me and drown me or I don't know something, you know. So I just kept butterflying, swimming backwards slowly.

23:25 And this happened all. The way until I got my I made sure that I got to where my feet touched, and then I made sure I went to my knees so that I could jump up and run, because you can't run when your feet touched, you know what I'm saying. So I waited until my knees caught the ground. And then I looked back at my kids, you know, all this stuff out the vand and I was like, look, they're waiting for us, So all we have to do is, you know, get out of the water. So I got up and I took off running as fast as I could because I was still in water. And when I did, I turned back around and looked and it was gone.

24:11 So it was black and it was hair all in his face, and it was either a. Ghost or a big foot. But I think it was a bigfoot because it followed me and it gestured to me, and it had facial expressions and. Like you could barely see his black eyes, but like it. Wouldn't say anything back, and it followed me. So there's no way it could have followed me seventy feet from the shore from all the way into the middle of the lake, all the way back while I'm swimming backwards butterfly swimming, you know what I mean, Like I'm starting to have an anxiety attack. But anyway, whenever I got to the car, I told my kids and my fiancee put everything back in the car. We're leaving right now.

25:06 And they're like, but why And I'm like, cause we're not going swimming here. We're not going and they're like, but but but mom, please, and I'm like, no, no, we're not going here. We're going home right now. And I made them put everything back in the car and we went home. I think that that bigfoot was taking a swim and I interrupted it, you know what I'm saying. And I think that me talking to it to its face made it more relaxed to be around me or something. I don't know, but I know that it's scaredly crep out of me. And if it was a dead body, it would have been floating and there wouldn't have been no swimming with me, you know what I'm saying. Like it was, it was huge and black and furry, and it was staying with me the whole time. So wow, I'm pretty sure that that was a bigfoot.

26:06 And so yeah, that's incredible. Yeah, yeah, I've. Seen the two other times. I've seen one in Arkansas and one in Missouri, but that one is the one that gives me most anxiety because like, you don't know if it's a dead body or like a ghost, or or if you're seeing crap, if you're mentally ill. You know, you don't know if it's gonna take you under, You don't know what's gonna happen, you know what I mean. And it kept looking over at like my kids. So I think that it knew that I had the kids, and then I was telling the truth, and I don't know, I just I knew I had to get away from it though, you know, and I couldn't let my kids go swimming in that water after that, because.

26:58 Well, if it took one of my kids, you know, so yeah, absolutely did it did. It's it's really wild. Did his face look more like a human or like a primate? That's that's what that's that's the thing. It looked like a human, and that's I thought it was somebody messing with me, you know. But it was huge, and so I'm like trying to figure it out while I'm swimming backwards. And that's why I continued talking to it, because I thought it would maybe, you know, take his hand and move its hair out of its face, say hey, my name is George. You know, yeah, I'll come to your party. But it didn't do any of that. It just kept looking at me, looking at my kids, and then his hair was just in his face and it was huge, and you could see the brown eyes and him looking and stuff, and so you couldn't really see his nose because his hair was in his face, but his mouth was right there, but you could just see pieces of it because his hair was in his face.

27:59 You know what I'm saying. I don't know with a girl or a boy, but whatever it was, it. Was huge, big black, and it it let me talk to it all the way back seventy yards, I mean, because I swim out that far just to get them in a loan without my kids, because I had black kids, you. Know what I'm saying. So I was like, you know, I'm going to swim for ha ha, you know, but the ha ha was on me because it was not It was not a human being and it was not. It was not normal. What was the I went back to that again. Oh absolutely, What was the closest you were to it when you were in the water. Do you think.

28:47 It was right in my face? Like like I could touch it if I wanted to, but I was afraid if I touched it, it might react, you know what I'm saying, And I might piss it off or something, and it might do something to me, you know, so, and I didn't want to die because my kids are right there, and what would they do if their mom just disappeared up the water and they didn't have a mother anymore? You know. So all these things are going through your. Head while you're trying to butterfly swim backwards, you know, because you don't want to go. You don't want to kick very far or put your hands on it or anything, or kick it maybe on accident or anything like that, you know what I'm.

29:29 Saying, So like you have to do it slow and so slowly. I had to back up, and it was in my face the whole time until I got to my knees where I knew I could at least get up and try to run, because it's hard to run in water. And when I turned back, it was gone. So I think that it went under and went somewhere. I don't know, But ye, what was I don't absolutely what leake was this that you were at? Well, that's the thing. I'm fifty five now and my kids were kids and they're forty now. So it was a lake about thirty forty minutes from Port Scott.

30:10 Kansas, Okay, and we used to go to it all the time, but this time. We went early in the morning, and because I wanted to get a grill, because it was so hard at that lake to get a grill because everybody goes there, you know. So it wasn't very far from Fort Scott, Kansas, because that's where I used. To kids women all the time. And I never I never took him back. I don't blame that at all. There's no way a dead body would have would have followed me all the way back to shore and looked at my kids and everything else, you know. And so I really totally believe that was a big foot.

30:52 I don't think it's think Jim Mermaid's right exactly. Do you think it was maybe walking on the floor of h I mean it was swimming. I mean at first I was I was in the middle of the lake, so it had to have been like swimming some of the time. But eventually it probably could touch before way before I could, you know what I'm saying. Like, But yeah, it was like one of the scariest times in my life. To make sure I came with my family and everything, you know, So. None of your kids or anyone else noticed or said anything about seeing something that was close to you out there.

31:37 Correct, they were. I had a big black vand and they were unpacking. All of the the ice chests and all of the barbecue stuff and all the birthday presents and the paper that go on the table, and the cups and the party hats, and they were they were all busy doing. That while I was being a smart thinking I got to swimper, gotcha. Yeah on me, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, right, Well, what year was this? Again? What year was this? Well, it was my. Daughter's fifth birthday and she's forty now, so it was like thirty five years ago.

32:20 Yeah, but it was it's still scary to me to this day. Was it ninety, that'd be ninety, nineteen ninety, yeah, nineteen ninety. Yeah, I'm like, which is interesting because there's actually a sighting report for uh where we at Fort Scott, Kansas from nineteen ninety six. It's there was a sighting over by the over by the golf course in Fort Scott. Wow. Yeah, I totally know. I've seen that one late. And you could see, you know, like I said, the hair was in space, but I can see his eyes going back and forth, looking excuse me, at me and my kids, and listening to me like it could understand me, like it had knowledge.

33:12 It was not stupid. It like, I don't know, I don't know. I don't think that it understood English, but I know it was a smart thing. It wasn't stupid because it followed me face to face with me, like I mean, it was not even ten inches away from my face. It was exact, yeah, And so I was just like like mesmerized by the hair and the eyes movement and the mouth, you know, moving a little bit here and there, and it dotting back and forth between me and the kids, getting this stuff out and everything, and.

33:53 I was just like, this thing can kill me. You know, what is it? You know, I don't know, but they say there's different kinds of big foots, and so some of them are swamp ones. I don't know, and they do have a lot of hair in their face. I don't know, but I think that I think that that because it was in the water, the hair just like fell down more, you know, like, and I don't think that it wanted me to see his face. I think that was the whole point of keeping the hair in his face. Because I asked him several times if you would take his hair out of his face, you know, because he was.

34:34 Freaking me absolutely. Mmm. So ten inches away, could you tell what color it's the skin of its face was? Uh? I? I could tell that it had brown eyes and. It was not white, but it was not black, it was it was darker though, because it kind of all was together, you know what I mean, Like like like the hair and the and the face kind of matched a little bit because you couldn't see white. The mouth was a little bit whiter, but and the eyes, the eyes had white in them around the eyeballs, you know.

35:24 But like, it wasn't a dead body, and it wasn't a mermaid, and it had it had It was smart, and it was listening to me and following me. So it followed me on purpose, right, It was intentional. And it followed you. Sorry, go ahead. It was listening to me. As it followed you and you got into more shallow water. Were you able to see more of it as it also got into shallow water? No.

36:04 When I when I got to my knees, I looked back at my kids and I just got up and ran because it was too scary it felt like forever to get back to shore, and me talking to it the whole time, and it not saying nothing to me, and everything that I just got more scared and more scared of the brother I went. So by the time I got to my knees, all I wanted to do was get to my kids and get them back in the vand and get out of. There, you know what I mean. Like I didn't came around to see what it was, you know. And besides that, bigfoots could lay down that their master hiders and they can lay down, and it could have when it got down to the lower part, it could have just laid down and like kept its face up out the water, you know, and it shouldered.

36:52 Or it could have set down even you know, because I saw one in Hot. Hot Springs, Arkansas, where I live now, when I went hiking, and when we went first went up that mountain, there was nothing there. But when we came back down, there was a body sitting in this hole that was like. Made like it wasn't a cave, but it was like trees and stuff all around it, and it looked like a hole. And and I told my niece, I said, is that. Is there bears in Hot Springs, Arkansas because it's a national park. And she was like, I don't know, Tia, and I was like, I don't know either, but that that that thing looks like it's sitting down Indian style.

37:40 And she said, she said, do you smell that tea? I said, yeah, its mouth is kind of weird. And then it moved, it moved its arm, and we just took off running from that point because because it it was just sitting there and it was black also, but I couldn't see its face anything from because it was inside of all like like a hole with a shelter, but it was sitting. It was sitting Indian style, So bear don't sit Indian style. But that one wasn't as scary as the one when I was swimming with that other one. Yeah, I mean, that's that's hard to be being ten inches away for sure. But you know, thank you so much for coming up. Is this a conversation where I can use the audio from it in the Bigfoot podcast that I have?

38:34 Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I've told a couple people, but nobody ever believed me. And why would I lie about that? Why? Yeah? You have cared about that, right, Yeah, yeah, live. It was the dead body. It would have been floating, you know what I'm saying, and it would have followed me, and it wouldn't have been smart enough to be paying attention to me, you know, and looking at my kids and stuff, and and looking back at me. You know. I didn't take my eyes off. Of it until I got my knee to the ground and turned around, looked at my kids and ran for my kids until I'm getting the car now, getting the car now, And they all started crying and stuff, and I'm like, no, we're leaving. We're leaving right now. We're leaving right now. And we all went to that lake so many times before, but there was always a lot of people there.

39:19 You know, I can tell it. It really affected you. But thank you so much for coming up, and maybe we'll talk to you again in the future sometime. But thank you, thank you for listening, because that's the first tip I ever got to really tell somebody, because most people just like, oh, yeah, whatever and don't even bother. Yeah, we've got reptile once to come up. Hey there, how are you? I'm good? How are you good? It brings you up today, I'm good as well. Awesome, I've spoken to you in the past, but I wanted to give you a little bit of an update.

40:03 So I have been hearing what sound like giant coyotes in my backyard recently. And I know what a coyote sounds like, I know what dear sound like. I know what. The other sounds that they've made in the past, which would be a barred owl. And I've been about two years ago. I was woken up in the middle of the night, around one forty in the morning to what sounded like a barred owl on steroids, and it was so loud that I heard it over my AC unit, which is a window unit.

40:45 They're very loud. I was woken up from a dead sleep over that sound drawn to my window, and then I proceeded it proceeded to hear what sounded like a barred al, but it didn't sound just like a bart out. It sounds like a huge bart out. And then it was responded by another bart owl, but far farther away, and then another one went a little bit farther in the distance, maybe maybe like a mile away. And then the original one made a difference sound and it actually went like a instead of the.

41:30 It was more like a. And the bass came out and I was like, no way, this is crazy. And then right after that they started with the samurai chatter straight out of the Sierra Sounds, and I was floored because it was at one forty in the morning, My wife is leaving, my kids are sleeping, and I am the only one that's experiencing and hearing this, and it was just so surreal hearing it. And I would come to find out that they had followed me all the way from glenn Ellis Campground in New Hampshire in twenty seventeen, but they weren't or they chose not to communicate with me until someone, a close friend of mine who is a higher frequency individual, said they.

42:22 Are there, and they are there because of you. Yep. And that's pretty much the background of what happened. And for updated for updated information, I've been hearing them intermittently as early as eight thirty and at night. I mean, we're not talking extremely late. I would say about maybe two weeks ago, my son and I were in our backyard and we were at the fire pit, and I sound we weren't doing anything out of the ordinary, it was just talking. And then suddenly like it was really close. I'm talking probably like fifty feet away. I heard what sounded like a barn owl. But then that wasn't what freaked me out.

43:08 It was. It was like a peacock, but like a giant peacock just made an extremely loud screech so close. And it's just a matter of knowing what sounds are, you know, are normal, and what their capabilities are. And as recent as two days ago, my mechanic and I were working on my car in my front yard and it wasn't that late again, maybe maybe eight thirty nine o'clock. He heard them, and I already knew that they you know, the sounds that they were making. He automatically said like, dude, what is that? Like, what are those sounds? I'm like, you wouldn't believe me if I told you, And he basically was freaked out about it, and he was like, I know coyote sounds. That is not a coyote. What sound is that? It's like you got some weird You got some weird going on in your woods. And then I proceeded to tell him that I, you know, maybe like a couple months ago, I put two or three apples high up in a tree and I wedged it then in there about fifteen feet up. Nothing could take that down. Nothing could take that down unless it was them.

44:30 And four days after, five days after, both apples were gone, no sign of consumption, no sign or pieces of apple, of a little bird or animals getting to it. There's nothing there, nothing. So they're back there. And we're not talking about national forest, we're not talking about stay forced. We're talking seriously less than a quarter maybe a mile radius. And it blows my mind that they chose this area. And then I'd always go back to my friend who told me they are there because of you, because you have a higher frequency. They were attracted to you, and that's why they were there. And that just blows my mind that they chose this area. And it's hard to, you know, fathom that they would do that. But also I've experienced it. I've heard them, and my dog in several cases has stared into the woods and barked and was very very agitated and on edge, just barking into the woods during the summer of last year or something like that. But she knows there's things back there. My family knows. But when you tell your parents stuff like this.

45:59 You know, they don't believe you. Friends usually don't believe you either, and I didn't think my mechanic was going to believe me either. But he heard the sounds and he was he's a hunter, and he's like, I've never heard anything like it. So that's what's been going on. I'm in slow eastern Connecticut, so I'm not near any national park. I'm not near any state park. There's nothing around for them to care about, except for if they were indeed attracted to me personally.

46:41 But yeah, I don't hear a lot from southeast Connecticut, and that's great to hear an update for you. Thank you. I'm glad you came up. Do you mind if I use this update in the podcast I have? Yeah, that would be fine. All right. Well, thanks, thank you so much for coming up. Man, I appreciate it. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast.
