Anonymous Bigfoot Encounters, Volume 1

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.120
After another whoop or two, the
next noise we heard was the wildest,

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:09.039
most frightening scream I've ever heard in
my life. Then we heard massive heavy

3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.080
footsteps approaching our location on the logging
road. The footsteps were slow at first

4
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:20.160
and gradually picked up pace. The
steps were also distinctly bipedal. This creature

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.640
continued screaming as it approached. Eventually
it broke into a full sprint and ran

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.600
right past our tents, so close
that the wind from its speed rustled the

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:41.000
side of our tents. On this
special episode of Bigfoot Society, I share

8
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.280
from the files of anonymous bigfoot reports
that have been sent directly to me.

9
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:53.000
So sit back, relax, and
enjoy some bigfoot reports that have never been

10
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:59.759
heard before. And thanks for listening. Well, welcome back to a very

11
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.000
special episode of big Foot Society.
As I had said in the intro,

12
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.439
I don't do many of these where
I just talked to myself. It's kind

13
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.719
of like the old days when I
would be recording it in the car I

14
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.560
was driving. Uber For those diehard
Big Society listeners, you remember those episodes

15
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.280
at the beginning. Also, you
hear the police car driving by me in

16
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.680
the background, all that good stuff. They're crazy episodes. Anyways, this

17
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.480
is going to be the first of
a series, and I'm going to call

18
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.920
these anonymous Bigfoot encounters, so they'll
give you a little bit background. So

19
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:47.599
here's the deal. So I get
a ton of dms in my email,

20
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:55.359
TikTok, Instagram, all over the
place. Constantly I have people saying,

21
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.480
Hey, I've got a story.
I want to share it with you.

22
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.519
The point that I even set up
a form on Bigfociety podcast dot com share

23
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.719
your sasquatch encounter or does it share
your bigfoot encounter. It's one of the

24
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.919
two guys. You'll find it.
It's low down on the page. Anyways,

25
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.319
you've got a big foot encounter story
that's happened to you, fill out

26
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.520
your contact info, fill out as
many details as you can about this story,

27
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:37.039
what happened to you? Send it
in It allows me to share it

28
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:45.400
on the website. But I've got
some really special encounters that have been sent

29
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.479
into me tonight, and these are
ones where people have mostly talked to me

30
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:58.199
directly, because I'll be honest,
it takes a ton of talking to people

31
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.599
that are trustworthy enough to share their
story with me to find someone that is

32
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.120
actually willing to come on the podcast. If you listen to people that are

33
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.439
sharing their stories on this podcast,
imagine the ratio is about thirty to one

34
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.159
for people that do not want to
come on air. Now I realized that,

35
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.639
hey, maybe I should start asking
these people that won't come on air,

36
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.120
maybe they would be willing for me
to be able to share their story

37
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.159
as an anonymous source. Thankfully,
there were more than a few that did

38
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.319
say okay to that. So without
further ado, I would love to share

39
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.039
with you volume one of anonymous Bigfoot
encounters from bigot Society. Here we go.

40
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.120
Literally, I'm going to be reading
these to you. So if you

41
00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.120
love being read Bigfoot encounters, you're
really going to love this, and this

42
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.680
will be a series as I get
more and more accounts encounters in my email

43
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.599
or using the form. Using the
form on the website is the number one

44
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.199
preferred way to submit your report,
So please use the form on big Faciety

45
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.519
podcast dot com. As people use
that more, I'll get more reports and

46
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:30.199
then I'll release a volume two,
Volume three, etc. Let's go for

47
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:36.680
it. This first one, it's
a person from TikTok. Here we go.

48
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.800
Okay, I'm willing to tell my
story as long as I stay anonymous.

49
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.199
This was back in the early two
thousands, I'd say around two thousand

50
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.279
and eight to two thousand and nine. Myself, my now husband, and

51
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.920
his best friend of many years well, we decided to go fishing after work.

52
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.560
We lived in a small town on
the coast to Oregon, right off

53
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.959
of Highway twenty six. We decided
to go up one of the rivers that

54
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.600
was located just off of Highway twenty
six and try our luck in a fishing

55
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.720
spot. We pulled down a dirt
road across the bridge, went down an

56
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.480
embankment, and started fishing. Neither
of us were having much luck after about

57
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.759
two hours, so we decided to
take a different approach and try a different

58
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.800
section of the river that was further
east up Highway twenty six. As we

59
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.839
pulled up to this river, we
pulled over on the right hand side and

60
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.199
had to cross the highway to get
to the other side of the bridge,

61
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.920
walk down another embankment to get to
the waterfront. Across the river to a

62
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.360
bend, and there was a really
nice pool to fish, so I started

63
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.160
fishing there. I had to make
a phone call, so I paused fishing.

64
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.120
While I was on the phone,
my husband and his friend decided to

65
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.399
walk around the bend further up river
and to the forest away from the road.

66
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.959
Now, I started hearing a bird
or whistling sounds coming up from behind

67
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.120
me, and I didn't think anything
of it. I continued my conversation on

68
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.319
the phone about ten minutes later,
but then I heard my husband and his

69
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.879
friend yelling to run. I have
no idea what's going on at this point,

70
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.759
so I tell the person I'm on
the phone with I have to go.

71
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.439
And I hang up and grab all
my gear, and I see both

72
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.839
my husband and his friend running around
the bend of the river towards me,

73
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:23.000
telling me go run. I'm asking
them, hey, what's wrong, What's

74
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.199
going on? And all I'm getting
is just run. Run. We saw

75
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.040
something and it threw rocks at us. Just run, And so we have

76
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.199
all our gear and we run across
the river and we run up the embank

77
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.319
bent and my fishing pole gets stuck
on a tree and my husband tells me

78
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.279
just leave it, and I said, no, this is my favorite pole.

79
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.279
I then get it unhooked and proceed
up to the bridge and my husband

80
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.360
grabs me and points me towards the
river where I was just standing and says,

81
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.199
look and then turn and look at
this very man like creature covered in

82
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.680
hair standing in the river where I
was just fishing, and he raises his

83
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.839
arm up almost as if he's waving. Whatever I saw that day had to

84
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.480
been almost eight to nine feet tall. It was very dark brown in color,

85
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.839
and I'm not realizing what I had
just seen and what had just happened.

86
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.959
We immediately get back in the car
and head back to the original fishing

87
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.199
spot, which is a few miles
down the road, and I'm asking my

88
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.600
husband and his friend what was going
on? What did we just see?

89
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.040
What happened? And they proceeded to
tell me that they had boulders and I

90
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.160
mean not rocks, but boulders larger
than dinner plates being thrown at them out

91
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.199
of the bushes. And these bushes
are a good ten feet tall, and

92
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.759
something was throwing them about twenty feet
in their direction at them. And they're

93
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.000
hearing noises and having these boulders thrown
at them, and they proceed to take

94
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.879
off because they don't know what's going
on. And then we get back to

95
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.959
your first Originals fishing spot because apparently
we're gluttons for punishment, and we see

96
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.560
what looks like several fish. Now
keep in mind this is a very rural

97
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:57.319
area. It's an old logging road
and that's not being used anymore. There

98
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.040
were no other people around us.
There is a fish that have been ripped

99
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.120
apart. I'd say a good twelve
smaller salmon on the other side of the

100
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.639
bank that just been torn apart.
And after seeing that, we decide we're

101
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.279
done fishing for the day, so
we just pack up and go home and

102
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:22.560
never go back. Twenty six in
northern Oregon is terrifying, Anonymous. When

103
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.439
I was talking to that person via
TikTok, her encounter was intense, to

104
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.080
say the least. If you've had
an encounter that sounds like that around the

105
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.320
Highway twenty sixth area of northern Oregon, I would love to hear about it.

106
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:48.039
Please send me in your encounter using
the Share your Bigfoot Encounter form over

107
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.600
at big fos Society podcast dot com. Let's head on to the next report.

108
00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:01.039
The next report is a fun one. It's really fun. I begged

109
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:09.120
this person to come on the podcast. I've never begged someone so much to

110
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.000
come on Bigfoot society, because when
you hear this, you're like, why

111
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.840
don't you have this guy? Guys, I tried really really hard, and

112
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.360
maybe if they hear this, they'll
say, you know what, he really

113
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.519
did want me on and you'll come
on, and I welcome you. But

114
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:31.600
let's share this encounter one of my
favorites I've ever received. Here we go.

115
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.480
One place I heard whoops every morning
at sunrise was the Mount Saint Helen's

116
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:46.360
area. It was after the mountain
blew The government created a blue zone and

117
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.279
a red zone around the mountain.
Only people with purpose could enter the zones.

118
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.039
The red zone bordered the blowdown area, but I had a Red Zone

119
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.440
card. We were a fire trail
digging crew working at Mosquito Meadows near Mount

120
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.360
Saint Helen's, just outside the blast
zone. In the timber. We arrived

121
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.519
every morning before sunrise. As the
sun was rising, the birds began to

122
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.159
chirp. We always heard whoops.
I couldn't figure out what kind of bird

123
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.600
would make that sound, and blew
it off, keeping my curiosity to myself.

124
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:31.519
It wasn't until the Bigfoot shows began
that I realized the whoops we're Sasquatch.

125
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.480
I figured it was a young juvenile
amused watching five goofy young humans dig

126
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:45.399
a fire trail. I've heard whoops
and other locations, but this is the

127
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.879
only location I remember the exact location. I was all over the Gifford Pinchot

128
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.200
District, which also borders Mount Rainier
National Park in the Mount Saint Helen's Forest

129
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.960
Service District. Always seemed to be
right at sunrise when the birds began to

130
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.679
chirp, and after an hour or
so the whoops went away. But it

131
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.240
was consistent every morning, especially when
the weather was nice. Within an hour,

132
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.879
the power saws started up and the
sun was up and full, and

133
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:26.679
you didn't notice the whoops anymore.
Anonymous on Facebook, it would have been

134
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:35.600
the best interview I've ever done,
because to talk to the gentleman was amazing.

135
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.759
That's the information I'm allowed to to
share. I can you know.

136
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:52.639
He also shared photos of himself at
the time period, which clearly proved that

137
00:11:52.960 --> 00:12:00.399
he was who he said he was. It was fantastic. I can't share

138
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.039
those photos. Our next report comes
from northeastern Minnesota. My husband and I

139
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.559
were up a long ways on the
Gunflint Trail and I wanted to walk in

140
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.639
a ways and do some tree knocking. We walked in a long path made

141
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.360
by a truck, likely a hunter, and I made a couple of really

142
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.840
loud knocks. One was seriously loud, and we waited. After a couple

143
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.159
of minutes, it got shockingly quiet, whereas before tons of birds could be

144
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.159
heard singing. I got this super
eerie feeling, but I didn't see anything,

145
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.799
and I just felt kind of terrified, so we left. Another time,

146
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.960
which was last year, we were
forging in the woods along a river.

147
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:50.200
I can't remember the spot, but
it was in the county that's below

148
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.759
Sherburne County. There was a walk
in campsite along the river and a man

149
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:01.159
made trail or deer that led off
into the wood there, so I decided

150
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.600
to walk it. As I got
in further, I heard a big rock

151
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.559
hit the water. I got freaked
a little bit. I thought nah.

152
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.679
I kept going in further and heard
another one really loud. This was a

153
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.399
wide river from the rain and flooding, and the opposite bank was far away.

154
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.559
I tried to see if there was
an island in the middle of the

155
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.480
river, but there wasn't, so
I decided to get the heck out of

156
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:31.200
there. Anonymous The next report states
I was in a field playing football with

157
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.759
some friends. As the sun was
going down. We look up at the

158
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.519
hill about one hundred feet away,
and at first I thought it was a

159
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.159
bear, but then I said,
bears don't stand on two legs. And

160
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.879
I started to get a strange feeling
as I thought, why is this man

161
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.080
staring at us play football? And
then my brain kind of put it together.

162
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.639
Now this is where it gets crazy. I didn't remember this until almost

163
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.799
a year later. I contacted one
of my friends. The memories started to

164
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.519
come back to him around the same
time. I made sure not to tell

165
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.480
them the story and have him tell
it to me, so I knew I

166
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:11.440
wasn't crazy. They're far more advanced
than what people actually think. Anonymous.

167
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.799
The next report is from the website. I was mushroom hunting in eastern Tennessee,

168
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.519
just mind in my own business,
and I heard the leaves crinkling and

169
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.080
whipped my head around nothing I looked
away. Right in front of me was

170
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.240
the most terrifying creature I'd ever seen. It looked at me with curiosity,

171
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.080
it backed away. As I pulled
out my pocket knife. It ran faster

172
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.639
than you could ever imagine after it
ran away, I hopped in my truck

173
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.039
and drove home. I got to
thinking, and then I realized that it

174
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:58.879
was what I thought a legend,
a myth, Bigfoot. Anonymous. Next

175
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.000
report when I was at a rental
property and now the Way small town near

176
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.240
the Bay of Fundi in New Brunswick, I was woken up by and knocking

177
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.039
at the window. When I looked, I saw a face in the darkness

178
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.759
with a dark, rough skin and
fur along the edges. The creature had

179
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.639
teeth like a bear and was pounding
its fists against the window until I turned

180
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.200
the light on, at which point
it darted off into the forest surrounding the

181
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.799
house. The house was raised and
the window had seven or more feet off

182
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:39.159
the ground outside. Anonymous. These
next reports are not anonymous. They come

183
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.879
from Rex b from the wassach Sasquatch
YouTube channel. You can head over to

184
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.399
that channel to see videos that have
to do the reports, but he was

185
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.399
kind enough to send some over now. I submitted these to the BFO,

186
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:00.200
but imagine it will never see the
light of day since it wasn't what they

187
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.200
call a class A encounter, an
actual sighting. So I'll submit it to

188
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:10.559
you in a similar format that I
gave to them Number one, October fifteenth,

189
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:15.759
twenty twenty two. Hiking down from
doing landscape photography, I normally like

190
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.279
to wait as long as possible before
using a headlamp. It become too dark

191
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.639
to see effectively, so I turned
on a bright headlamp, maybe an hour

192
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.360
earlier. At one point, being
well passed halfway back down the trail to

193
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.440
the vehicle, I thought I heard
something on the right hand side of the

194
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.960
trail. It sounded like maybe a
few rocks were thrown or some type of

195
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.320
sharp, short, but rather nondescript
noises. Turned my head lamp to look

196
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.559
in that direction as I continued down
the trail. Moments later, we were

197
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.519
presented with a loud or ruff sound
from the side the trail that the little

198
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.360
noises came from. After listening to
the audio again, to me, the

199
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:02.679
noise seemed to sound like it could
possibly include lips vibrating and not just a

200
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.759
simple growl or hoofed animal and rut. This happened twice, and I happen

201
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.079
to have a small video recorder designed
a place in a hip pocket, so

202
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.519
I pulled it out and manders to
record. The third time. The sound

203
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.359
was made. I've tried to find
examples of moose and other animals that might

204
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.720
sound similar. Do not believe the
examples I found are deep enough or have

205
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.640
enough base to sound particularly similar.
If needed, I can provide a recording.

206
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.359
It sounded like whatever it was.
It was not far away, maybe

207
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.319
not more than fifty or so feet
away. Still, I could see nothing,

208
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.519
but only heard noises. We decided
to keep walking. After a brief

209
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.640
pause and only a few more steps
down the trail, we heard a sound

210
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.039
of a deer bounding away. Immediately
on the other side of the trail.

211
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:59.839
Did we interrupt a potential hunting ambush? Unknown but unusual. After seven pms

212
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.440
had been down for maybe an hour, we were hiking down from Silver Glance

213
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:11.440
Lake. You have Tibble Fork Reservoir
from their drive up in elevation park at

214
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.680
Silver Flat Reservoir, hike further up
in an elevation to Silver Lake, then

215
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.480
take a more seldom used deeper trail
to finish at Silver Glance Lake, which

216
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:25.200
elevation is a little shy of ten
thousand feet. We were hiking back down

217
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.920
from Silver Lake and had not yet
reached where the trail gets a little closer

218
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:34.559
to a couple of campgrounds, Kimball
and Noble, neither of which is accessible

219
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.440
from the trail without bushwhacking. Looking
on a satellite image, I imagine we

220
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.880
must have had the encounter roughly where
the trail goes between two patches of coniferous

221
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.839
force. For the most part,
aspen trees line the trail at the elevation

222
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.480
we were at roughly seventy eight hundred
feet. At a note, I believe

223
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.000
no hunting is allowed around this immediate
area, at least I have never heard

224
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:03.240
weapons fired nearby. It's hunting season
right now. Mountain aspen forest is the

225
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.119
environment with occasional mixed pine trees.
There are creek crossings, but not at

226
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:15.519
all in this particular junction in the
trail. Lastly, an older potential encounter

227
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.720
from the winter of twenty fourteen to
twenty fifteen in Little Cottonwood Canyon, hiking

228
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.920
down the Lake Blanch trail on the
evening of January twenty fifteen, I went

229
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.759
on the hike to do some landscape
photography. However, the weather conditions turned

230
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.400
out not to be the best.
It was overcast, misty, and starred.

231
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.599
The snow earlier, when it was
still light out, I had attempted

232
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.759
to go off trail and an attempt
to speed up my descent down the trail.

233
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.559
However, this turned out to be
a bad idea, as I was

234
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.440
literally in snow past my waist and
almost to my chest struggling to move.

235
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.759
It took longer than I would have
liked to be able to regain the trail

236
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.920
again. When the interaction occurred,
it had been dark about an hour.

237
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.160
It took place somewhere around the bottom
half of the trail, and I was

238
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.640
the last person on the trail and
had not seen any other hikers since being

239
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440
near the lake. It begun snowing
at the elevation, and later I found

240
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.880
it was still raining at lower end
elevations in the valley. It did not

241
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.119
have on spikes for my boots,
and it had been all right hiking uphill

242
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.000
on the snow, but suddenly I
slipped on the downhill slope hiking back down,

243
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.240
I took a good crashing fall and
landed on my shoulder. As I

244
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.559
got up and dusted the snow off
myself, I muttered with some minor aggression

245
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.640
that instant. All of a sudden, I heard an urgent sounding whoooa off

246
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.720
in the distance the other side of
the creek that parallels the trail an owl

247
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:53.000
vocalization. Maybe I would have sounded
more qualm, more quiet, mechanical sounding.

248
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.000
Also, it did not sound like
a dog, coyote, or a

249
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.480
person. It immediately could be recognized
as and did very much resemble some sort

250
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.920
of non human form of primate.
I heard no other sounds that evening,

251
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.000
but it sent a virtual chill of
my spine that lasted with me the rest

252
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:17.519
of the hike. Again, if
those encounters were interesting to you, check

253
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:25.440
out the Wa SA Sasquatch YouTube channel
for more. Continuing on, our next

254
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:32.920
encounter takes place over on the East
coast in the state of North Carolina.

255
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.799
I used to work for an environmental
conservation nonprofit that partnered with the US Forest

256
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:44.839
Service on special restoration projects in various
national forests in the southeast. In the

257
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.680
year twenty sixteen, our group was
stationed in the Southern nat and Nehala Wilderness

258
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.559
Area, a subsection of the Natahala
National Forest near Franklin, North Carolina.

259
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.920
We set up our camp along an
old law road downhill from a trail known

260
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.920
as the Lower Ridge Trail, and
we're set to stay there for one week.

261
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.319
The first night, we noted that
there was some sort of owl living

262
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.799
in the trees behind our tents.
This is important later due to the physically

263
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.759
taxing nature of our work and the
fact that it got dark so early in

264
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.440
the evening under the tree canopy,
you would typically be in our tents ready

265
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:30.480
for sleep by APM. You had
no disturbances for the first night or two,

266
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.319
but around the third night or so, I woke up in the middle

267
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.680
of the night and heard some rustling
around downhill from our camp where we had

268
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:44.400
stored our food and a bear hang
in bear canisters. At first I thought

269
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.759
it was just a squirrel or some
nocturnal animal, but it sounded different the

270
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.440
more I listened. There was a
rhythmic pattern to the rustling, leading me

271
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.599
to believe it may have been a
larger animal. I listened a little more,

272
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.119
heard some grunting noises, and determined
it was likely a bear. I

273
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.000
woke up two of my colleagues to
investigate, and we grabbed some trail tools

274
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:14.680
for weapons and walked to our food
storage area. Looked around but found nothing

275
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.799
and saw nothing. Now, around
two nights later, we had gone to

276
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.839
our tents around the normal time and
we had grown used to hearing the owl

277
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:30.279
and the noise of other insects as
we fell asleep. But on this night,

278
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.880
just after it became completely dark in
the woods, all the typical noise

279
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:44.279
of the forest owls and insects included
when completely quiet, all at once and

280
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:49.000
from a distance, we heard what
I now recognize as a bigfoot whoop That

281
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.480
sounded strange, but we thought it
could be another owl with the same one

282
00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:00.000
that had flown off. After about
another whoop or two, the next noise

283
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.559
as we heard was the wildest,
most frightening scream I've ever heard in my

284
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:11.039
life. And then we heard massive, heavy footsteps approaching our location on the

285
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:17.079
logging road. The footsteps were slow
at first and gradually picked up pace.

286
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:26.000
The steps were also distinctly by petal. This creature continued screaming as it approached.

287
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.759
Eventually it broke into a full sprint
and ran right past our tents,

288
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.920
so close the wind from its speed
rustled the sides of them. Beside our

289
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.400
campsite was a dried up creek bed. This creature ran to the creek bed

290
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:47.119
and began throwing boulders around. These
were not small rocks, but literal boulders

291
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.799
based on the sound of it screaming
the whole time. It's important to note

292
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:59.079
that no wildlife in that area could
possibly pick up and throw boulders without opposable

293
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.160
thumbs and dexterity to use them.
Then all at once it stopped, and

294
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.000
neither me or my colleagues wanted to
get out of our tents to investigate because

295
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.839
we were so scared. One of
my colleagues literally cried herself to sleep that

296
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:17.720
night because we were also tired from
our work. We eventually fell asleep,

297
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.200
but not nearly as quick as we
normally did, obviously, and the next

298
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.319
morning we searched for tracks or other
evidence, but found nothing, and I

299
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.119
suspect there were no tracks because the
logging road was so hard and impacted from

300
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.759
previous years of use. That's time, we had no suspicion of it being

301
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.200
a bigfoot. We sort of chalked
it up to an unexplained occurrence and went

302
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.319
about our lives and the years since. However, after developing an interest in

303
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.519
bigfoot and listening to various podcasts,
listening to vocalizations, hearing other encounters,

304
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.960
I'm now realizing that we were likely
visited by a bigfoot that week Anonymous,

305
00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:06.559
North Carolina. The next Encounter Slash
interview. You'll see what I mean in

306
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.839
a bit. It's from TikTok individual
who wants to be known as Ken.

307
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:21.160
I tried to get Ken on the
podcast a lot. Thankfully he was at

308
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:27.240
least okay with me. Sharing our
conversation through this in the hopes that someone

309
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:37.160
else has experienced something like it and
it helps them work through things. It's

310
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:45.839
a weird one. Let's continue.
I don't live up there no more.

311
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.319
Keep in mind, I'm just going
to read this the way that it's written,

312
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.599
so bear with me. I don't
live up there no more. But

313
00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.000
I got given fifty nine acres of
land and kept getting messed with, stuff

314
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.119
thrown at us, Trees put in
front of our trailer door, and we

315
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:10.319
had a stream that we did our
dishes in, and something was in them.

316
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.200
There was this big hairy man.
He saw me and ran and I

317
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.440
tried everything to catch up to it
and had no chance at all. And

318
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.680
me and my brother we balked the
land and found around thirty four rock piles

319
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.480
the Native Americans used to leave their
graves, and we tried moving them,

320
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:34.079
and they were so big of rocks
that broke the come alongs and no way

321
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:40.039
a machine could get where they were, So something big did it. We

322
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:42.880
had branches tossed at us and felt
like we were watched, and so much

323
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:47.720
more. And I'm six to four
and this thing was a lot bigger and

324
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.319
just pushed the trees like nothing.
I could run real fast, but nothing

325
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.319
like that in Saint Alban's main on
land that's never been lived on, in

326
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:03.440
the middle of nowhere, like an
hour or something from Canada. Question for

327
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.400
myself, what did the shape of
the creature's head look like? Like a

328
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:14.839
black rock, bulky harry with a
weird older odor, like a wet dog

329
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:22.079
that swam an excrement. My question? How tall would you say? Answer

330
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:29.880
a lot taller than me, like
eight to nine feet. Question do you

331
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:34.000
ever hear any strange noises around that
property? Answer? Well, we had

332
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.599
our trailer up on twelve jacks and
around ten thirty at night, the whole

333
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.880
trailer got hit and pushed off all
the jacks, and when we went out

334
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:48.839
back, there's this weird growl.
So I thought it was a bear.

335
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.880
But something hit above our kitchen window
like it was a shoulder, and there

336
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.759
was a huge footprint, but when
I went to take a picture, my

337
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:02.480
son had jumped on it and messed. Well, question, have you ever

338
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:08.240
found any strangely killed animals around your
property? Answer? Oh, yeah,

339
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.400
weird growls and others I can't explain. When I asked people around the area,

340
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:17.839
everyone said bigfoot, which I don't
believe yet. And this stuff happened

341
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.640
when I looked it up and said
bigfoot. And I saw it once next

342
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.720
to the stream and I was going
to throw my dirty dishes. And once

343
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.200
we went for a walk deep in
the woods and my son saw something move

344
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.359
and we looked, didn't see nothing, so we started walking towards it to

345
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.440
sea, and this thing just jumped
like eight feet across the stream and ran

346
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.680
like it was nothing. And we
would find deer ripped apart and bones scattered

347
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.880
around, and me and my brother
had guns on us one time walking and

348
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:51.480
we found a bear's head afresh but
nobody, which was just weird, and

349
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:55.599
we had a sticks and rocks thrown
at us, but didn't see nothing.

350
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.559
And pretty much I tried telling some
friends, but people called me crazy till

351
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.079
they came and tried to camp in
my area. And now those friends believe

352
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.000
I live in Georgia now. I
haven't been up there for a while,

353
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:18.079
but the house I built on the
properties completely ripped apart overnight somehow, And

354
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.240
I know where the graveyard is and
would love to unbury it to see what's

355
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:29.440
under it. You know how Native
Americans used to barry, That's how this

356
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.640
was in the middle of nowhere,
with big boulders on it, a perfect

357
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.440
stack of like thirty of them,
and you could barely get a dirt bike

358
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:47.559
to it, no mind heavy machines. Ken, and you can guess how

359
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:53.240
much that hurt not to have Ken
come on the podcast. I would love

360
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:59.359
to get Ken on for an interview, but we take what we can get,

361
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.440
and man, if people have had
stuff like that happened up around the

362
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:10.319
Saint Alban's main area, I want
to hear it. So please submit your

363
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:17.960
Bigfoot encounter over at Bigfoot Society podcast
dot com. I'm going to finish up

364
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:25.599
this volume one with an interesting saying
that was sent to me a while back,

365
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.160
and the listener said, I took
pictures of this. I saw it

366
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:37.319
on the wall of Black Diamond Bite
Bakery in Black Diamond, Washington. This

367
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:45.160
is brilliant interesting, So This is
Black Diamond Bakery in the Sasquatch how the

368
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:52.039
recipe for Sasquatch bread was discovered.
I've never heard this story outside of these

369
00:31:52.240 --> 00:32:00.680
two photos of a It's very old
paper that this is on, extremely old,

370
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.759
and it's hanging on the wall in
this baker. If you go to

371
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.279
Black Time in Washington, you can
see it. But I'm going to read

372
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.960
it to you. One day in
late September many years ago, I was

373
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.720
hunting in the headwaters of the Cedar
River. It was starting to get dark,

374
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.400
and I figured it was about time
for me to head back. It

375
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:21.839
was miles back to civilization, and
the nights were getting cold at that altitude.

376
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:24.400
I must have stepped on a loose
rock or something, because the last

377
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:30.000
thing I remember was rolling and sliding
down a steep slope of shale and alders.

378
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.079
And there may be some that will
doubt the truth of the rest of

379
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:39.920
this narrative because of the bizarre circumstances. I have never told my story before

380
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:45.799
for this very reason. At any
rate, when I regained consciousness, which

381
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:50.519
must have been days later, I
found myself lying on a crude bed of

382
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.480
cedar boughs as a sort of cave
in the rocks, and I soon discovered

383
00:32:53.480 --> 00:33:00.279
that several bones had been broken,
including some in my head, which may

384
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.000
explain my peculiar behavior sense my broken
arms and legs had been set, and

385
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.519
rough splints had been fastened in place
with strips of ride. I could see

386
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.240
some sort of passage leading to what
must have been another cave deeper in the

387
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.480
mountains. Some time later, I
heard a sound from the inner cave and

388
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.920
felt certain that someone or something was
watching me. After a few more minutes,

389
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.279
a huge man like creature came over
and looked down at me. At

390
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.720
first I was frightened to death,
but soon learned that he meant me no

391
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.839
harm. As soon as he saw
that I was awake, he went away

392
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.759
and came back with a sort of
bowl full of some kind of tea and

393
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:43.480
a huge loaf of what looked like
old fashioned bread. The tea was kind

394
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.000
of bitter, but the bread was
delicious, and after I had eaten,

395
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.119
he took what was left and went
away. And this went on for many

396
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.880
days, and I began to recover
from my fall. By the time I

397
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.240
was able to walk a little,
I had made it out to the mouth

398
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.799
of the cave and saw that winter
I had sent in, and there was

399
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.480
no way to get back home until
spring. During the months of winter I

400
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.599
learned that there were more than one
of these huge but gentle creatures. They

401
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:12.119
were very shy, and it wasn't
until almost spring that I saw what was

402
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.639
obviously the daughter of my benefactor.
She was tall and of wondrous proportions.

403
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.039
In spite of her savage ancestry,
she was really quite gentle, and we

404
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.719
grew quite fond of each other.
Her name was Tari. Tari had learned

405
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:30.199
a few words of English by listening
from the bushes near where people were picnicking

406
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.519
down in the lowlands. We were
soon able to talk. After a fashion,

407
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.239
Tari showed me how the sasquatched bread
was made and baked in a rock

408
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.360
oven in the cave. I always
suspected that some of the grain was requisitioned

409
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.280
from the lowland farmers at night,
but was afraid to ask. Tari said,

410
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.920
I would never recovered except for this
powerful mixture of whole grain and honey.

411
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.719
She said that if dinary people were
to eat too much of it,

412
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:07.519
they would become boisterous and rowdy.
Spring came at a decision had to be

413
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.800
made about Tory. I knew she
would never be happy with the little people

414
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:17.880
down the valley, so I decided
to go home for some supplies and stuff

415
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.760
and then return to her forever.
This is a mistake I was to regret

416
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.519
for the rest of my life.
When I returned to the mountains, something

417
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:30.480
had frightened my Tory and her people
away, and although I had searched for

418
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.320
all these years, no trace of
them can be found except for one big

419
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.480
footprint. So now, in memory
of my Touria, I've decided to let

420
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.840
a little of that marvelous bread of
hers be made for the little people.

421
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.119
Just a little left first, and
if you can handle it and keep your

422
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:54.280
cool, maybe a little more later
on. Interesting story, right, no

423
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:01.599
way, it can be real well, no idea. But seriously, what

424
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:07.519
I did do is I did actually
look up Black Diamond Bakery in Black Diamond,

425
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:09.760
Washington, which is a real place
and it's been around for like a

426
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:15.599
hundred years. So I get him
a call, and older lady picked up

427
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:21.840
the phone and I was like,
you know, hey, my name is

428
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:27.800
Jeremiah. Weird question. Someone took
a picture of an account about your Sasquatch

429
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.519
bread that's on your wall, and
I just wanted to know if that's like,

430
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:34.960
if you know it's a real story, or what's the deal with that?

431
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.679
And she was like, oh,
yeah, that saw us. I

432
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:45.639
was down in the basement one day
and there were all these papers strewn about

433
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:52.679
in the corner. I started looking
at them all and I found these yellowed

434
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.719
pieces of paper which is a story
that was written about our Sasquatch bread.

435
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.480
So I laminated them and put THEMP
them on in the wall and I say,

436
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.159
that's that's fantastic. Do you know
anything about like who wrote it or

437
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.320
if it's real or And she was
like, now, no other history,

438
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:15.559
just something I found the basement,
So hey, you never know. This

439
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.480
could be a real story. Maybe
it's not. It's a fun story.

440
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:24.079
If any listeners know more about the
Black Diamond Bakery history and the Sasquatch bread

441
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.880
