00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:09.160
I talk to individuals who have experienced
sasquats in some way or another, so

00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.800

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.439
the show notes and Bigfoot Society.
I've taken far too much of your time

9
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:45.399
so far, so let's get on
with the show. What follows is my

10
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.759
presentation about Bigfoot in Iowa from the
twenty twenty three Fan Meter Visitor Festival in

11
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.320
Van Meter, Iowa. The audio
quality might be different than what you're expecting,

12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.439
but due to the requests of many
listeners, I am really seen this

13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.879
audio as an episode. Enjoy.
Jeremiah Byron is the host of the Bigfoot

14
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.560
Society podcast and it's based out of
Madison County. Madison County, Iowa.

15
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.359
That is his views. He views
Bigfoot as the last great mystery we have

16
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:22.840
notice I will not insert any Mothman
comments here. He also enjoys uncovering Iowa

17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.599
fakefoot history. Please welcome Jeremiah Byron
back to the Van Meter Visitor Festival.

18
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:37.599
Yeah, all right, it's great
to be back at the Van Meter Visitor

19
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:42.040
Festival. How many people were here
last year for the talk that I did

20
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.319
show hands? A few people,
all right, so some people might care

21
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:51.439
about something. So last year I
was talking about the Iowa big Foot Information

22
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:59.239
Center and about how there was the
search for Clifford Lebrex's Bigfoot statue. If

23
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.519
you listen to the Big Faciety podcasts, you will already know this. But

24
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.240
the statue replica was found at Yeah
right, it was found down in Arkansas

25
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:16.120
at Clifford's residence where before he passed
the great news. And you will you

26
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.240
can hear this if you listen to
my episode with David mckera, who is

27
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.319
the owner of the Expedition Bigfoot Museum. He did purchase that replica statue,

28
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.919
and that statue taxi or me,
whatever you want to call it, does

29
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.080
preside down in Georgia. Now,
now it's not part of the museum yet,

30
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:40.240
it's in a storage unit in hopes
of a second museum that he might

31
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.360
be making, So soon enough you
will be able to see Clifford Labrec's Bigfoot

32
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.639
on display, just not yet.
Also another side note, I remember I

33
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.000
had said that we couldn't find all
of the things that Clifford and Kevin had

34
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.439
discovered in the V and d's when
they would travel around big Foot and take

35
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:10.280
all the reports, the tracks,
the documentation that unfortunately was all stolen from

36
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.879
Clifford's residence and no one knows where
it is. So that's kind of the

37
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:22.599
unfortunate footnote. The other cool thing
though, to tag it on is Kevin

38
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.719
Cook actually reached out to me again. He is almost eighty years old now,

39
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.800
and he was like, hey,
how's it going, you know?

40
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.879
And I was like, Kevin,
would you ever come on the podcast to

41
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.280
kind of talk about what happened back
in the seventies with your Iowa big Foot

42
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.360
Information Center. He's like, Yeah, it's time, I'll come on and

43
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.000
we're gonna get it all documented.
So you want to make sure you're subscribed

44
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.080
to the podcast so you don't miss
out on it. Should be in the

45
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.319
next few months. My chat with
Kevin Cook so super excited about that,

46
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.680
and hopefully there you are we can
find out why Renee de Hindon was actually

47
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.840
in Iowa. I really hope he
remembers. So here we go. Let's

48
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.080
let's continue. That's kind of part
two from last year. So who am

49
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.240
I? My name is Jeremiah Byron. I am the host of the big

50
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.840
Foot Society podcast. It's a podcast
where I primarily talk to people about their

51
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.560
big foot encounters. So if you
like listening to that sort of thing,

52
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:21.040
you will love this show. I
am crazy and I pretty much put something

53
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.439
out every day, so if you
really like it, you will like it.

54
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.959
But it is fantastic about every five
to six five to six emails a

55
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:35.560
day from people all over the US
talking about I had this happened. I'm

56
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.759
ready to talk about this now,
will you talk to me? And it's

57
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:46.639
enough that I can barely keep up
with documenting these stories, which is the

58
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.800
best problem in the world to have. Also, Big Society is a safe

59
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.639
and respectable platform for witnesses to share
their big encounters. Unfortunately, some people

60
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.000
will say I don't want to share
my big and encounter because I'm gonna make

61
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.279
it getting made fun of people at
my job are gonna try to get me

62
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:09.199
can stuff like that? Well,
I've tried to make a safe spot for

63
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.600
people to share their encounters, so
I would love If anyone is comfortable,

64
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.040
you can raise your hand. If
not, that's fine. But how many

65
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.639
people think they have seen big Foot
in the realm? Right? Anyone raise

66
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.759
hands? Oh that's fine, that's
fine. Oh yeah, I talked to

67
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.319
you earlier. That was rocking.
I also talked to a few people have

68
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.319
come up to the booth. I
have a booth over there. We will

69
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.120
talk about some encounters that I took
actually today in a little bit How I

70
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:43.639
got into big Foot? Well,
first off, I listened to the insert

71
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.839
or watched in Search of Bigfoot with
my dad when I was a little kid.

72
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.480
And then in the band Leader Visitor
festival a few years back, my

73
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.920
buddy Andrew, have you be involved
with the taping of Tearing the Skies by

74
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.439
Small Town Monsters, which is a
great documentary. If you love a vameter

75
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.879
visitor, you will also love that
one. So after that I started my

76
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:11.720
own podcast and start talking to people
about Bigfoot and other cryptus. Let's see,

77
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.199
now the question is what is bigfoots
Now, there's a few things.

78
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.160
Does everyone know who what Bigfoot is? Raise the hands? You know what

79
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.319
Bigfoot is? Let me see him. Yeah, we're pretty good like that

80
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.000
at this festival. You should know. But if you don't know a little

81
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.399
bit of a you know that is
the famous Patterson Gimlin film, Yes you've

82
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:38.040
got it, Good job, buddy, October twentieth, nineteen sixty seven,

83
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:45.839
the capture of the Bigfoot walking across
the Bluff Creek area. Across your fingers

84
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.079
for Bluff Creek. There are some
fires very close to that film site,

85
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.720
and we are all holding our breath
that hopefully it remains unburned. We will

86
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.240
see Oxford definition a large, hairy
ape like creature resembling a jetty, supposedly

87
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.720
found in northwest at America. Now
that's really basic, because you know,

88
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.040
there's some people that think, okay, we might be looking at a creature

89
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.720
that can go through portals. It
can go through different dimensions. Maybe it's

90
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:23.759
a wild man or some kind of
man that is between the different evolutionary positions.

91
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.040
But that's the Oscar definition if you
want to know. Now, I

92
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.040
thought it would be interesting let's look
into how Bigfoot is reporting in the Iowa.

93
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.600
So currently I along with you have
access to the BFRO public database,

94
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.680
which you know, if you'd like
them or not, that's fine. It's

95
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.560
still information that we can look up
on the internet. So I took a

96
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.680
little bit of time and I was
like looking through all these reports and I

97
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:53.560
was like, well, how has
it been reported when these witnesses see bigfoot?

98
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.720
What are they seeing in the Great
State of Iowa. Well, here's

99
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.279
some examples. This one's from July
sixteen, two tho four, Buchanan County.

100
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.800
Covered in reddish hair, breadish,
reddish brown hair, not much of

101
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.279
a neck, head sunk into the
shoulders, hands come to or below its

102
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.439
knees, usually lower than the knees, about seven feet tall, weighed about

103
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.639
five hundred pounds. Looked like an
eight type thing, had an eight human

104
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.639
like face. So that's one we've
got, nineteen seventy eight bf ROW,

105
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.199
Dallas County. One of the creatures
was taller at about seven feet, and

106
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.600
the second one was about foot shorter. He said, they have long swinging

107
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.240
arms, a short neck, black
hair from head to toe. So that's

108
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.960
a different color there. It was
upright on two feet. Color was described

109
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.600
to be gray brown, much like
a tree. Height estimated at seven feet

110
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:48.519
twenty fifteen. That's from the bfrro
Debuque County. Here's another one nineteen seventy

111
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.519
buff row Fayette County. This is
in the northeastern section of the state.

112
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.159
It was big, at least eight
feet tall, coned head to feet,

113
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.279
with dark brown hair, had a
barrel shaped body, with long arms and

114
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.360
lays. It just walked like a
human, taking long strides and swinging its

115
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.720
arms. So going over this information, we can kind of get a picture

116
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.840
of what we're expecting to see in
this state. Sent eight seventy eight feet

117
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.519
tall, different colors, but you've
got the coned, conical head, the

118
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.720
arms that are always at least past
the need usually lower, barrel shaped body

119
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:31.159
not a next scene, and of
course kind of walking like a human like

120
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.919
that classic video if you've ever seen
that. So that's kind of what we're

121
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.559
looking into if we're going out,
that's what we can expect to see.

122
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.240
Now, I want to take a
few minutes to go over Iowa big foot

123
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.720
history, especially since I had the
privilege of talking to a lady came up

124
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.879
to the booth earlier and she was
talking about her nineteen seventy eight encountered,

125
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.200
and I was like, oh,
my goodness, nineteen seventy eight, and

126
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.279
I realized, yeah, no one, not everyone is crazy about big Foot

127
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.120
like I am. So they don't
get it that in nineteen seventy eight in

128
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.080
Iowa there were a massive amount of
big Foot sightings. It was like our

129
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.840
just crazy explosion. And she was
like, oh, there were other sightings

130
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.720
in nineteen seventy eight, and Holy
Mackworth, Yes, and you don't want

131
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.799
to miss what I'm going to be
going over because you're gonna see about it.

132
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.559
So that is a picture I showed
last year of Clifford Lebrec and Kevin

133
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.960
Cook, the gentleman in the back. Are we talking to him a few

134
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.360
weeks hopefully he's about eighty years old
right now. That's their replica Bigfoot that

135
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.080
was made by the same guy that
made the African elephint in the Museum of

136
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.440
Natural History in Washington, DC,
some museum quality Bigfoot. Hopefully we'll be

137
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.840
on display soon enough. Here we
go. These are from the Des Moines

138
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.840
Register in the seventies, and this
is just to get you a feel about

139
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:50.279
what we were looking at back in
the seventies. We'll be back with more

140
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:58.080
Bigfoot Society after these words from our
sponsors, and I do want to give

141
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.240
credit where credit is do. Going
into David Weatherley's book, Hawkeye Cryptic is

142
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.279
if you haven't gotten that, it
is of course sold out, because I

143
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.080
mean it's an amazing book and everyone
here needs to get it. But you

144
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.279
can still get out Amazon and Kindle. You need to get the book because

145
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.200
it's eighty pages of Bigfoot history throughout
the years, but also other cryptics.

146
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.240
So that's my plug for David's book. That book made me go deep into

147
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.519
the subject more than I already was
through the podcast. So here's a few

148
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.039
things you can see where all these
different footprints are. We're different places where

149
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.720
big Foot was seen in the nineteen
seventies. Going you can see the different

150
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:41.360
areas. A is Humboldt. You've
got d in the South. You've got

151
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.039
b which is kind of around Jefferson
County. There's some stuff there, but

152
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:50.600
West Bend odistant was a large amount
of big Foot sightings. Renwick, Humboldt

153
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.080
was a lot You've got out and
clear in. Here's a few articles I'll

154
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:03.279
share Cleary in Iowa ten seventy eight. This one's interesting dark image character kitchen

155
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.080
window at ten thirty police officers obtained
a plaster cast all this good stuff.

156
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.120
There are some where they think might
be a hoax, but a lot of

157
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:20.879
them were pretty dead on. Here's
another one from Audistan. Dozen people reports

158
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.840
in a big foot like creature in
the Audistan area. Paulities if I'm saying

159
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.840
that wrong. Also, there are
cords of mutilated animals strange book for instance,

160
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.200
stemp keating cattle. That's always crazy. This one is my favorite from

161
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.279
Humboldt, Iowa, September nineteen seventy
eight. It's cool because a family three

162
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.720
miles northeast of humble they were hearing
strange howls right. And it's so crazy

163
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.440
because they were calling the sheriff's office
and during the phone call, the sheriff

164
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:54.080
could hear the howls over the phone. That's wild that you're hearing that much

165
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.960
crazy action, I know, right, creature September nineteen seventy eight. Joe

166
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.919
Iman scared the creature out by honking
the horn and flashing the lanks of a

167
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.440
pickup footprints that ended in a witted
area. Wild stuff. Here's another area.

168
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:16.279
This is done by Skunk River Pella
Oscaloosa, had some and let's see,

169
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.399
we had a young boy ten or
eleven years old saw big foot on

170
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.600
the road near a bridge near Pela. That was in the snow, so

171
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.919
it's in the winter. There's just
so many articles to share here. We've

172
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:35.559
got tracks on a snowmobile round Harvey. Oscaloosa, there was a gentleman one

173
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.679
of the Iowa big Foot Information Center
woman who lived northeast of Oscaloosa near the

174
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.480
Scunk River, had seen a big
foot come out from the shadow of a

175
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.080
tree during a heavy snowstorm. Just
wild, wild stuff. We've got Stephen

176
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:54.399
State Forest. Stephen State Forest is
a weird place because it comes up in

177
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.440
the literature. And then I talked
to Kevin before and I was like,

178
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.960
why was Stephen's state for is so
unique? And He's like, I can't

179
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.759
remember. I'm almost eighty years old
and I haven't thought about this stuff for

180
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.159
forty years. And I'm like,
all right, I'll catch you a break.

181
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.399
And he moved away from Iowa,
moved somewhere else, and then went

182
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.320
on with his life, had a
family. And then this crazy dude forty

183
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.960
years later called him up and he
was like, hey, you used to

184
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.360
be into big foot in the seventies, you want to talk about it and

185
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.960
you actually contact the deck, which
is wild. So we've got all,

186
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.120
you know, sightings and strange sounds
in a section of Stephen State for us

187
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.840
who knows. Let's see, there's
also some molten. We're going to skip

188
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.320
ahead a little bit. A fun
one is Lockridge the Lockridge Monster. Has

189
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.720
anyone heard of the Lockridge Monster?
A few people rocking, So this is

190
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.080
back in the seventies. Lockridge Monster
was seen in Lockridge, Iowa. It's

191
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.320
a smaller big foot and it had
almost the face of a monkey. That's

192
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.320
reported kind of heard that earlier in
another report. So the thing is is

193
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.279
that this farmer I believe his name
was Herb Peiffer, had this creature.

194
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.960
They saw it, and it kept
messing with the animals in its farm,

195
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.399
like eating the turkeys, all that
crazy stuff. But it got to the

196
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.879
point that the newspapers got a hold
of it, and these poor the Fifers

197
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.159
were just newspeople were coming out,
People were coming out to the farm trying

198
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.639
to mess with them, and it
got to the point where they just shut

199
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.639
it down. They're like, we're
not going to talk about it anymore.

200
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.679
They may have seen stuff in later
years, they just didn't talk about it.

201
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.320
That's kind of something I'm researching,
so stay tuned. But yeah,

202
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.000
monkey faced bear like creatures slaughters farm
animals. Now, let's take a few

203
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.960
minutes to talk about why is Iowa
great for bigfoot? Because a lot of

204
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.919
people I've talked to today they're like, yeah, I don't know, Iwa

205
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.519
sounds like it's all corn and I
don't think we got big foot here,

206
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.919
Like do we have bigfoot in Madison
County and in Dallas County? Sure we

207
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.159
do, We totally do. So
I'm gonna share a few maps with you

208
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.720
here. First thing I want and
is this kind of like a geographical map

209
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.519
of the state of Iole right now. Do you see all flat, flat

210
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.759
corn lands? I don't think so. If you if you're not familiar with

211
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.080
this type of map, if you
see the parts like on the eastern side

212
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:17.039
of the state where it's all kind
of like wrinkling and bumpy, that means

213
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.679
there's some crazy hills, there's some
crazy gulches, maybe some ridges. That's

214
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.080
the stuff that big Foot likes to
hang out with. So like this area,

215
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.360
you can see a lot of crazy
stuff. Jefferson County tons of reports

216
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.600
over the years. Also, if
you watch the Finding Bigfoot episode back in

217
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.279
the day about I know you guys
are talking about that finding Bigfoot Yellow River,

218
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.480
I think it was. That's up
here. There's a ton of reports

219
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.480
up in that area. Here's another
interesting thing. So if you've seen Missing

220
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.080
four to one one, they talk
about like you know, Pat, I

221
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.799
was talking to you about that earlier, sir, and they talk about there

222
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:59.279
has to be a food source.
It makes sense that a large creature is

223
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.599
going to need a huge caloric intake. Now check this out. This is

224
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:10.119
Iowa's white Tail hot zones. You'll
notice that there's not a ton of the

225
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.839
deer killed per square mile up here, but down here there's a ton of

226
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.920
deer. Might makes sense why we
see a lot more big Foot sightings in

227
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:25.240
this area, so we know that
certain areas we have the the food source

228
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.680
available for them. Here's another way
to look at the elevation and kind of

229
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.799
see on the eastern part of the
state, you definitely have some crazy hills

230
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:40.319
going on. This is interesting.
So it may not look interesting, but

231
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:48.640
if you have known about the Nawac
guys down in southeast Oklahoma, I believe

232
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.599
it was doctor Rust Jones on Wide
Open Research was talking about, you know,

233
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.680
you want to look for the places
where there's a lot of annual rainfall,

234
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.079
like there's kind of a hot amount. So what do we notice about

235
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:07.440
this map, not in the whole
state, but definitely down here there is

236
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:12.480
a high amount of there's thirty nine
annual rainfall inches per year. That's pretty

237
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.359
cool. That kind of shows us
there could be something belts going on here.

238
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.559
This is a I just want to
shout out this guy, my friend

239
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.519
Scott from the big Foot Mapping Project. If you don't know about this and

240
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.039
you like bigfoot, you need to
check it out. But this is kind

241
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.559
of cool because there's a map he
made. He's done this for every state

242
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:36.960
I was big Foot byways, and
you can kind of see, going off

243
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:44.160
of the data he has that there
could be these different areas where Bigfoot might

244
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:49.920
be able to travel around different wooded
byways, and some of these if you

245
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.160
were to overlay this, you know, really get into it, you could

246
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.279
kind of see. Guess some of
these are by big state parks or forests

247
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:02.680
that have had lots of action.
So it's just another way to be like,

248
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.559
yeah, we've got stuff going on
for sure. Just to point out,

249
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.400
southeast Iowa is a place where I
get a lot of reports from extremely

250
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.680
forested in Gulch's super hilly. That's
your Jefferson County, Smek State Forests,

251
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:22.720
maybe stuff like that. We got
Northeast Iowa extremely forested in Gulch's hilly,

252
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.119
many places too high. So I'm
gonna take riding good on time. I'm

253
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.440
gonna share a few encounters. And
this has been my favorite festival because I've

254
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.720
never had people come up to me
and be like, you know, I

255
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.200
actually have something happened. Let me
show it to you or let me talk

256
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.440
to you about it. And I
was like, oh, this is great.

257
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.680
Can I talk about it in my
presentation? They're like absolutely. So

258
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:49.960
we're gonna do some very very new
reports here, but I want to talk

259
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.160
about what I had in my presentation
first. So this is a fun one.

260
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.480
Yeah, I know I've heard sailor
build right, get ready, this

261
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:03.680
is so weird. So I had
this contact me on Instagram and she's like,

262
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.119
I gotta tell you something that was
weird. So I was going out

263
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.119
to the south west part of sail
of A Lake, which is central Iowa.

264
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:15.440
Everyone's probably familiar with it. It's
huge lake out there, and she

265
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.799
was going there at night and you
know, she was just hanging out and

266
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.519
all of a sudden, like she
sees a thing and the bushes lit up,

267
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.640
eyes, it starts, it rushes
at her. She barely gets back

268
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.000
in her car, crazy and like, up to this point, I'm like,

269
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.720
okay, sounds interesting. I hear
a lot of these. But the

270
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.279
twist is what she said about what
happened the next day. So she goes

271
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.200
back to Sailorville because she's like,
I need to look more into this,

272
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.720
I need to see what happen.
And she's on one of the beaches at

273
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.519
sale of the lake and these random
people come up to her and they're like,

274
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.759
hey, what are you doing And
she's like, oh, well,

275
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.039
I was just kind of looking around
at stuff, and she didn't want to

276
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.480
lead right into the big foot stuff, right because people some people think that's

277
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.680
weird, you know, right.
But what she said was the random person

278
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.359
was like, hey, you ever
seen any monkey people around here? You

279
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.440
know, randomly, and she was
like, oh my goodness, what's happening

280
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.880
around Sealville Lake? So I don't
know, it's a weird one. And

281
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:22.720
that happened in fall of I think
it's a few years ago, and so

282
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.920
I put on my skeptical halferm and
I was like, well, what you

283
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.799
know, we have a page research
center in Des Moines around the Eastern Lake.

284
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:32.960
And I was like, well,
what if there was an escaped monkey?

285
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.680
Right? So I contacted them and
I was like, you guys didn't

286
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.960
have any scaped monkeys around this time. They're like, no, stop talking

287
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.799
to us. We keep we keep
our monkeys under lucky and key. But

288
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.640
they're a great facility though. They
do great research. So that's a weird

289
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.720
one. I'm not really sure.
I need to really spend some time around

290
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.480
seal Of. I think another weird
thing about Serealville Lake, and this is

291
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.640
not Bigfoot related, but if you
go to Phantoms and Monsters Calm with Ln

292
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.400
Strickler, he just released an article
where there was a humanoid sighting around sale

293
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.519
of a lake, like back in
twenty seventeen. They're like, oh my

294
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:15.200
goodness, what is up to this
area. We'll be back with more Bigfoot

295
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.240
society after these words from our sponsors. And it's just in Central Aisle,

296
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.640
so maybe keep your eyes open if
you go there. Goldener Wood sighting.

297
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:30.079
Here's a fun one. So if
you're from Madison County, you're from Urlam.

298
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.920
There's actually been big foot sightings in
Erlham around Goldener Woods. There was

299
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.640
a road sighting. And also my
friend Kate Ronomus, who's a researcher,

300
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.839
was there and actually heard some woodknocks
one night a few years ago. So

301
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:48.200
there is stuff going on in Madison
County. Also a gentleman who's here,

302
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.640
he's allowing me to share this.
We've got a few things. Back in

303
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.920
the nineties and Earlham, him and
his buddies were in a gravel pit area.

304
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.319
There was a large rock that was
thrown at them out of nowhere.

305
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.839
That's one of those things that makes
you wonder, like what is it that

306
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.200
could just chuck a huge rock?
Adam, I had we had a yard

307
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.920
sale this year at in our hometown
over in Madison County, and I was

308
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:17.359
passing out my card and I was
like, here, you know, check

309
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.000
in my podcast, and a guy
was like, you know, a weird

310
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:25.799
thing in Pamel Park down in Winterset. So supposedly him and his buddies back

311
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:32.319
in the eighties, they were driving
around and all of a sudden they go

312
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.319
around the corner and pamel and they
say there's a big foot in their head

313
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.279
lace and they said they took a
shot at it. Now it's one of

314
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.160
those things where it's like I heard
it from guy who heard it from guy

315
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.759
who heard it from guy type del
So I'm not sure, but it's just

316
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.720
cool that there are these stories around
here in Iowa. Let's continue here.

317
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.839
I try not to use AI art
anymore because I'd rather support the artists,

318
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.839
and I don't like AI AI,
like, let's not let sky Skynet happen,

319
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.279
let's support the art. So I'm
like, I used to have AI

320
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:03.240
R. I said, oh my
goodness, I can't use this anymore.

321
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.839
And there's not a lot of really
cool big book which there's that. I'm

322
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.400
not an AIA, so I used
this one. This is a different situation

323
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.599
in Iowa, but I do have
a recent episode if you want to check

324
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:18.480
it out, where a gentleman was
looking for I believe it was different minerals

325
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.759
and he ended up. Him and
his buddy went to a spot in southeast

326
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:26.559
Iowa and they're cooking kilbassa at his
campground and he's like, we started hearing

327
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.759
weird noises which I thought was an
elk at first, and my buddy's like,

328
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.640
there's no elk in Iowa anymore.
And then I'm just I'm really summarizing

329
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.960
the episode. But he started.
They started hearing what they said sound like

330
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.640
Sierra sounds, and they heard here's
a campsite. They hear a whoop over

331
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.599
here, a whoop over here,
a whoop over here. They're like,

332
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.559
we're surrounded. This is not good. It got to the point where they

333
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.759
get so freaked out that they're trying
to tear down their tents and get out

334
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.359
of there. One guy's like,
I'm not tearing my ten part. I

335
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.359
want to take the pulls out,
and he's like, we're gonna get us

336
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.559
killed. This is wild. And
he's shown this flash light up and actually

337
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.359
saw something in the woods leap away, and he's like, I don't care.

338
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.000
We are out of here. So
that's at a certain wooded area in

339
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.000
Iowa. That's a few episodes back
if you want to listen to that.

340
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:25.440
There's also a gentleman who contacted the
Lancing, Iowa two thousand and three squirrel

341
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.440
hunting you chased out of the woods
by a creature that sounded like a deep

342
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.559
chimp or a chimp with a deep
voice and that beat its chest like a

343
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.000
gorilla, and he would just skid
daddled out of there. This gentleman actually

344
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:44.000
went on the big Foot Crossroads podcast, so you can actually hear his encounter

345
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:47.880
on that. I have so is
some people podcasters like I don't want to

346
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.319
shout out other podcasts. Dude,
I love shouting out other people because you

347
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.960
know, we just the waves raise
each other. Why not why not help

348
00:25:53.960 --> 00:26:02.160
each other out potential bigfoot areas.
Four Actually, let me share the encounters

349
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.000
that I took here today, so
these are some interesting ones. Gentlemen came

350
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.920
up to the booth and he said, back in men Burn in the nineteen

351
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.920
eighties, he and his buddies were
around a river and they saw a big

352
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.440
foot in the river. They could
see it kind of sticking out of the

353
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:25.039
water, his hair coming down to
his wet and so just a really interesting

354
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:30.160
anecdotal episode. He has agreed to
chatting on the podcast, so hopefully we'll

355
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:37.119
hear more about that. Lady came
up to me about an incident in Madrid,

356
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:44.599
Madrid, nineteen seventy eight big foot
along the riverside as well near a

357
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.319
river and there was a big foot
she felt that was right behind her.

358
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.799
So there's definitely more to that story. We're going to get that story,

359
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.480
and she's agreed to come on the
podcast as well. There was a couple

360
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.759
that came up to the booth where
they were out in Newton in to twenty

361
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.119
nine ten and their painters, but
they found a footprint and they were able

362
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:08.160
to cast the footprint. This is
by a ko A I believe campcrafts.

363
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:14.359
So this year has been phenomenal at
the festival as people are aware that bigfoot

364
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.160
is coming into Iowa, it's in
Iowa, or they feel good enough so

365
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.440
that they can actually share these stories. I just wanted to point out a

366
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.240
few areas. So we've got the
northeast part. This is where a Yellow

367
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:33.880
River is and these are geographic area
maps. We've got this area can have

368
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.440
some fun. Got sho next State
Force. That part's pretty wild. I

369
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:42.599
like the southern Iowa drift planning because
like that's where we are over here and

370
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:48.039
over in this area. Jefferson has
so many crazy big foot and cards and

371
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.119
I'm gonna say I'm just gonna do
a little teaser because I'm researching something and

372
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.759
I can't, like, I gotta
get my stuff right first. But let's

373
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:03.039
just say some stuff that happened in
nineteen seventies didn't stop happening in the nineteen

374
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.160
seventies. And that's all I can
say because I don't have my stuff.

375
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.440
But I can do a little like
Marvel, like Nick Fury, like foreshadowing

376
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.759
again there. So just you know, subscribe to the podcast. Hopefully I'll

377
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.759
get my stuff together. The goal
is to go full time with the podcast

378
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.160
by the end of twenty twenty four, and it's gonna happen, So then

379
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:25.319
we're really gonna go crazy. You
can start traveling, so I'm getting ready.

380
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.039
Boone is a cool area too,
So Boon up by the real road.

381
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.440
I've got a few fun interaction reports
up here, so keep your eyes

382
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.680
open around Boon. And also like
the Raccoon River over here, Oh my

383
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.680
goodness, there's so many Raccoon River
reports. So if you're in the campsites

384
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.680
by the Raccoon River, keep your
eyes open. It could get wild this

385
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.559
over here. So the Puke area, there's so many reports that come out

386
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:59.079
of the Puke. There's there's a
gentleman that he was talking about how this

387
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.079
area all I can say, because
he's like, I'm gonna make a book

388
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.279
on it, so you know,
keep it on a dl I'm like,

389
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:07.960
okay, I'll keep on a DLF. But all I'm gonna say is like,

390
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:14.359
this area, keep your eyes open, because I have never heard of

391
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:19.039
reports to the extent with the number
of reports in any other place in Iowa.

392
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.599
But this area right here, debuke, Oh my goodness, this area

393
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.839
Jefferson County, keep your eyes open
down here. And of course we have

394
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:37.480
up in the northeast section already went
over there. Oh so we got a

395
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.599
few minutes left, so a few
people might be curious, like, how'll

396
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.519
I go look for Bigfoot? At
the end of the day, you're really

397
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:47.799
good. It's like you're going camping, but you're kind of getting ready to

398
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.319
see a huge ape creature in the
woods that could mess you up, so

399
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:52.880
just be careful of that. But
you know you want to have things like

400
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.920
camping here, backpack at ten.
Tell people where you're going, please,

401
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.240
for Pete's sake. If you have
the ONEX app, you can give an

402
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:07.839
exact location so important to let your
loved ones or whoever know so that you

403
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.480
don't get lost out there. And
then you're in trouble big footing here.

404
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.640
If you really want to get into
it, you can get I recommend a

405
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.240
task cam audio recorder and once you
get to the area, have it recording

406
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.279
once you leave the car, because
a lot of times when you go out,

407
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:32.559
these researchers will hear the wood knocks. They'll capture them right after they

408
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.920
turn off their car because from what
they think. A few of them that

409
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.960
I talked to, the big foot
are signaling once they leave the car.

410
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.319
Hey, these guys are in the
area, or as you're leaving, sometimes

411
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.559
you'll hear the knock and it's like, Okay, they're finally leaving, Thank

412
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.440
goodness. Also, you know,
the cool thing is a lot of us

413
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:53.319
have our phone devices. So remember
you can record audio with your phone,

414
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:57.839
you can record video with your phone. You can keep a notated diary of

415
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:03.119
what happened during your expedition. Please
keep it. Keep that because you know

416
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:08.279
you get months down the road and
you won't remember what happened. Super important.

417
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.039
There's a few basic things, but
I do want to mention real quick,

418
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.759
keep an eye out on my buddy
Tate Horonymous. It's going to come

419
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.440
out with a documentary again this year, we did go to a certain area

420
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.599
and this August, me and him
and some others to look for bigfoot.

421
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.559
And I'm holding off on that info
because I don't want to spoil his documentary,

422
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:36.000
so I'll shout it out in a
few months. A few things.

423
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.000
As we are getting near the end, did you meet Kevin Cooker Clifford Labrec

424
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:44.039
and see they're traveling Iowa big Foot
Information Center exhibit in nineteen seventies at the

425
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:45.960
State Fair. I would really like
to talk to you about It would be

426
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.079
fantastic and if you had pictures,
it would be so cool. You can

427
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.759
contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail
dot com. If you have big Foot

428
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:57.599
encounters of Madison in Dallas County or
really anywhere in Iowa, please feel that

429
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:04.079
you can reach out to me through
my email. And I know that this

430
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.079
is a side thing about the vam
Meater visitor. I've heard that the vam

431
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.920
Meater visitor has been seen in the
woods behind an elementary school. If they're

432
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.559
shoot to that, please reach out
to me. I think that would be

433
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:20.359
really cool. Any big Foot stories, I'm your guy. If you need

434
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.640
to be anonymous, I can make

article is to provide a platform for those

448
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:28.960
that have encountered Bigfoot to share their
encounter in a safe and respected environment.

449
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.680
But we need to hear your story. If you've experienced something that you just

450
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:40.160
can't explain, please send me an
email at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

451
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.119
Then we can start the conversation.
I know a lot of you have

452
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:51.359
not shared your encounter at all.
It's been twenty years and it's time that

453
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.279
you get this off your chest and
then you can get some well deserved for

454
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.680
rest, because I know you haven't
been sleeping. I understand what you're going

455
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:01.359
through, and I appreciate every one
of you listening
