Today's episode is with George Workman, a western Pennsylvania based Bigfoot and mountain lion researcher.We chat about his research in the Chestnut Ridge area of PA, seeing ufos and more recently in Minnesota and how to know if you are looking at a legitimate Sasquatch stick structure.
You can find George at Flatsquatch Productions on Youtube.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0WNnz53NaRL0VvBCu1lW5w
You can also find George on Facebook at the "Bigfoot & Dogman Info Library (BDIL)" group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2148271342089315 and also the "Mountain Lions of Pennsylvania Info Libary (MLPIL) group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mountain.lions.of.pennsylvania.info.library
Ironically enough, the Randy that George talks about in this episode from 3 years ago is the same Randy with the Skinwalker Ranch of Minnesota Episode 321 I did within the last month. A very strange synchronicity for sure.

you go ahead and uh tell a
little bit about yourself? Yeah? Thanks,
16
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:23.280
Jeremiah for having me on. I've
been I've been researching Bigfoot and those
17
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.239
kinds of cryptic entities i'd say since
about twenty thirteen is and I kind of
18
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.200
really got curious into this field by
a profession I'm an it professional, okay,
19
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.519
but strictly you know, for this
kind of topic. You know.
20
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.640
That's that's about when I started twenty
thirteen. Yeah, We've had all kinds
21
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.680
of crazy experiences. You know.
I started out just just curious, you
22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.280
know, like most people. You
know, I kind of got sucked into
23
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.920
YouTube and things like that and that
I wanted to see for myself, and
24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.760
uh, you know, we started
have having things happened, so so I
25
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:07.079
got I got the bug, you
know. That's awesome. And then I've
26
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.400
been doing it ever since. You
know, I'm MAP reports, so try
27
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.199
to help people kind of break into
the topic, you know, just sharing
28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:21.719
what I know about things. Currently, I've recently started a YouTube channel and
29
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.879
got on Facebook and started groups,
and I think I met you on Reddit.
30
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.120
That's a new one for me.
Yeah, yeah, it's a new
31
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:34.479
one for me too. There's some
that are slash Bigfoot is an interesting animal
32
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.639
in itself, right, Yeah,
some good stuff. Yeah, yeah,
33
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.120
it is. It's it's really nice. So I thought there it's kind of
34
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.639
a tough crowd in there. But
that's a bit, you know, yeah,
35
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.000
but that's good. We love you
Reddit, we love you. So
36
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.680
yeah. Yeah, I like the
group and or the the reddit thread or
37
00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:00.439
subreddit whatever it's called. And yeah, I just make a video. I
38
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.199
go out into the woods. You
know, I do this too. I
39
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.400
don't just talk to people about it, so, which is fantastic. Yeah,
40
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.639
and that is that's awesome. Like, uh, your YouTube channel has
41
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.960
a lot of really really cool stuff
on it. Do you definitely get out
42
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:22.000
there and maybe to lead you a
little bit, but I mean you're from
43
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:29.080
the western Pennsylvania area around Chestnut Ridge, which you know should set off some
44
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.479
bells in the listeners ears depending on
you know, what other things they've seen.
45
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.599
But uh, that's that's a pretty
cool area. You know. I'm
46
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.639
from western mass myself, but I've
been through through PA and it can get
47
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.599
pretty wild out there, especially in
that corner. So it's very cool.
48
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.759
Yeah. I mean, like you
said, it's a long history you know
49
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.840
of the Chestnut Ridge, you know, and the seventies and eighties, you
50
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.599
know, Stan Gordon's talking about UFOs
and bigfoot, you know, taking reports
51
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.240
from the eight Police, you know, the State Police. There were so
52
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.759
many reports there at that time.
The State Police would just send him to
53
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:12.840
Stan Gordon. And then, you
know, Stan Gordon had multiple groups and
54
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.720
that evolved into Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society and
that's that's the first group that I actually
55
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:25.439
joined and started researching reports. So
yeah, and there's still reports there to
56
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.160
this day. I just had somebody
sent me a cell phone recording of something
57
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.079
howling off the ridge from downtown Dairy, you know, two minutes ago.
58
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.079
Oh yeah. The guy was just
you know, it's in the shutdown right
59
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.319
now, so things are kind of
quiet. Yeah, and he started hearing
60
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.120
this noise outside of his window and
just put his phone out and started hitting
61
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.759
record, and you know, wouldn't
you know it? The sound that we
62
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.480
actually that he sent me was the
same thing that I recorded ten miles from
63
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.519
my house, which really that far
away from you know, two years ago.
64
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.800
So you know, you can't always
put your finger on what these things
65
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.279
are some people, everyone has their
own opinion, but you know, I
66
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.920
have a good feel for what I
think is not normal. Oh yeah,
67
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.480
yep, And you have some on
your your channel. You have some really
68
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:24.560
crazy audio. I mean it,
it's it sounds cool, So the listeners
69
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.839
definitely need to go check that out. It is from a few years ago.
70
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.959
I think we're talking about the same
video, but it's solid. Like
71
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.279
I was kind of taken aback by
by the sound of it was good stuff.
72
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:46.040
Man. I've also heard you talk
of an interesting story about how you
73
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.040
first back when you first got into
into big Foot, and it has to
74
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:59.319
do with your now life and how
how you know she's kind of she's good
75
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:04.680
to go. Maybe tell that story
about about what your honeymoon entailed, you
76
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.759
know. Yeah, So, like
I said earlier, I got sucked into
77
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.160
big Foot from YouTube. You know. I found this channel Facebook Fine big
78
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.000
Foot, and you know, I
probably watched one hundred videos. And I
79
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.839
didn't really think about big Foot much. I mostly paid attention to UFOs and
80
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.279
stuff like that. But I started
watching all these videos and I'm like,
81
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.000
wow, this, why is there
a hundred of these videos? They look
82
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:34.839
so similar, they're very shaky.
So I said, this is probably these
83
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.319
can't all be fake. So so
we decided, okay, let's let's do
84
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.639
something fun for the honeymoon. Let's
go on a big foot trip. I
85
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.680
didn't know what to do, so
I just googled it and there was an
86
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.839
at Salt Force State Park. They
had this event for new people or whoever
87
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.639
you know, to go there and
have a big foot camping trip. So
88
00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.079
we went there. It's a few
hours from my house. Yeah, and
89
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.519
we we kind of you just show
up, you start camping like anybody else.
90
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.000
And next thing, you know,
it's nighttime and they're like, let's
91
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:15.079
go. I'm like, where are
we going? You know, just where
92
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:24.120
are we going? So yeah,
it was very strange fan it, and
93
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.279
uh, we we just get into
cars and start following people. We start
94
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.319
going out in the woods, just
walking. I'm in one team, she's
95
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.959
in another team. It's dark,
you know, we have flashlights, you
96
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.879
know, and you know, I
walked probably a couple hundred yards at least
97
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.279
in my team, and I start
hearing wood knocks, you know, and
98
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.920
I know what that is. Yeah, because I and they were just right
99
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.360
there and I thought, Okay,
what's going on? You know, is
100
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.120
this really And it was just interesting, you know. We just hung out
101
00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.319
there for a couple hours, came
back. My wife was pissed off because
102
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.879
she got separated into another group,
which is typical. But but but in
103
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.639
her group, her and the guy
next to her, you know, we're
104
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.319
kind of walking single file in the
dark, you know, in a field
105
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.319
that's not mode, you know,
it's just this weird place. And they
106
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:24.199
started hearing heavy footsteps and I mean, you can imagine heavy footsteps, you
107
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.959
know, that's not something I've ever
experience, but it's kind of kind of
108
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.240
freaky, especially in this environment.
And that that guy grabbed onto her arm
109
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.080
and they were they were pretty scared, man. And you know, we
110
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.519
so we ended up regrouping back at
the camp that night. This is the
111
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.080
first night we ever did this,
just to show up going the field what
112
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.919
would knocks footsteps? And so we're
sitting there camping and I'm trying to sleep,
113
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.919
you know, and which was kind
of awkward, and we and then
114
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:05.159
I heard this scream, just like
percussive, reverberating scream. Wow, just
115
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.120
at three thirty in the morning,
you know, you know how it is
116
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.720
when you sleep somewhere and you're not
really sleeping that well, and it just
117
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.879
I don't know, I don't know
what it was, but it didn't sound
118
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.159
normal. She heard it too,
and I asked her about whoa man,
119
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.759
it was scary man, because you
just, yeah, you put yourself in
120
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.279
that context. And I don't know, it's probably doesn't sound like much,
121
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.600
but it was to us at the
time, and that was our first night.
122
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.519
No, dude, nothing good happens
between three and four in the morning,
123
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.440
Like that's when the weird stuff happens, right man, M yeah,
124
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.480
and you're a half asleep, and
wow, that must have been freaky stuff.
125
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.600
And you know what the funny thing
is, the next morning we told
126
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:56.360
everybody and they told us it was
a woodpecker. I guess woodpeckers are up
127
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.919
at three in the morning screen,
Yeah, I guess, right, yeah,
128
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:05.559
yeah, who knew. Hmm,
that's interesting. So I believe I've
129
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.240
heard you mentioned two that. So
you've been on multiple expeditions, Is that
130
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:16.519
correct? That's correct? Got more
than ten something like that, like it's
131
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:24.399
a lot or yeah. I mean, I guess it depends on what the
132
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.320
definition of an expedition is. You
know, I go out at least once
133
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.840
once a month, you know,
with my buddies, maybe two or three
134
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.399
other people, and just hang out
for the night. I guess unextended trips,
135
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.559
you know, a couple of days. Yeah, definitely more than ten.
136
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.960
A couple of times a year.
I'll do something like that a lot
137
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.960
of people. Very cool. Yeah, and you've I believe you've been on
138
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:56.679
actual like bf R O trips.
Correct. Yes, last year I went
139
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.519
on my first bf r OH trip
actually that honeymoon trip was. There was
140
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.759
bf O guys there too, so
it wasn't an official one, but they
141
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039
helped out. But yeah, last
last summer I went to Ohio and did
142
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.279
a bfr O trip and oh wow, actually casting my first footprint there.
143
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.080
It was it was actually really good. That is cool. That's cool.
144
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.879
So during the expedition you got to
cast a footprint, that's cool. Yeah,
145
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.559
they had a sighting the night before. It was a whole and the
146
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.919
sighting I could tell you about it
if you want. No, I was
147
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.799
actually going to just lead into that. Would you mind painting the picture of
148
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.799
what that expedition was like? And
went? It entailed? Yes, sir,
149
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.240
So it was. It was two
or three probably three days, three
150
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.720
nights in south central Ohio. I
won't say where it was because they're still
151
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:56.720
going there. Ye, but the
so there was a there was a probably
152
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:05.200
fifty sixty people there it was well
organized. It was a location where the
153
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.360
homeowner had had ongoing activity in a
state park, and they had been researching
154
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.879
it and they felt that it was
currently active, so that's why they chose
155
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.759
that location. So there was three
campsites a few miles apart from each other,
156
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.279
and you were able to select which
one you wanted to go to.
157
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.120
So I scanned all of them first. And and I'll tell you what,
158
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.840
man, if you follow bigfoot stuff, I'm sure you've heard of tree structures,
159
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.720
right, Oh, yeah, definitely. So this place was just off
160
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:45.279
the hook for tree structures. I
could just drive down the road and see
161
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:46.879
them, you know, left,
right, left, right. They were
162
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.320
all over the place. So to
me, that was a good indicator that
163
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.960
this is hot. So I camped
right next to a spot that had tree
164
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.799
structures all over the place, and
they we set up the first night.
165
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:09.000
They split us up into like six
groups. And I like to be stationary
166
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.279
at night. I don't like to
walk at night because I can't see,
167
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.080
and I don't I think the value
for me is more stationary because I can
168
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:22.519
record things and see and whatever.
But the group that was that was set
169
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.720
up right near where I was camped
had a sighting and they saw it on
170
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:30.360
a thermal. There was like three
people, so that was big news.
171
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.039
And I actually figured out where it
was. It was right near where I
172
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.840
was camped, which wasn't where I
was for the night, but so yeah,
173
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.679
so eventually the last day I made
my way back to I figured out
174
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.279
where they saw it because they didn't
tell everybody, and I found tracks all
175
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.399
right near where they said they saw
it and all kinds of structures. We
176
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.879
got two footprint casts. I mean
there was bears there. I think there
177
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.720
was a bear walking through my camp, but I mean it's it's as you
178
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.200
know, it's not easy to get
footprint cast, especially ones with toes in
179
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.639
it. You know, it's hard. So I was happy, you know,
180
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.960
it was pretty fun. That is
awesome. That is that's a cool
181
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:22.720
story. That's cool stuff. To
give a little bit more to your to
182
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.559
your background as well, So you
you're an IT professional, It sounds like
183
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.200
you're so you're heavy into data and
you've done a lot of really cool projects
184
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.960
kind of compiling data to do with
with big Foot, but also with mountain
185
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.799
lions as well. Would you would
you mind sharing some info about that.
186
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:50.799
I think that's very interesting. Yes, So so just as fast October,
187
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.360
I had a guy that lives on
the Chestnut rich same place that we had
188
00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:00.080
just talked about, okay, and
he messaged me and said, hey,
189
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.720
I'd like you to come onto my
house. And I said, okay,
190
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.320
what's going on. We'll be back
with more Bigfoot society after these words from
191
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:16.960
our sponsors. He said, I
just wanted to talk about bigfoot and stuff
192
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.240
like that. And then he mentioned
that his friend, his neighbor, the
193
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.639
guy that lives next door, said
that he hit a mountain lion with his
194
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:33.039
car and killed it. And I
thought, okay, that sounds pretty interesting
195
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.879
because as you know, in Massachusetts
and almost every other Eastern state, according
196
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.559
to state officials, there are no
mountain lions here. It's extremely rare.
197
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.000
Right, There's one from Connecticut,
what ten years ago? So I thought,
198
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.559
okay, well, I thought he
had a picture of it. Okay,
199
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.200
he actually didn't have a picture of
it, but we did an interview
200
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.960
and just got his story, and
that's how I got into the mountain line.
201
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.360
So so I started looking into it
and here it turns out, you
202
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.879
know, this is all new for
me starting last year, that seeing a
203
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.639
mountain line in Pennsylvania or any of
these other states. It is kind of
204
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.720
like seeing a Bigfoot. You know, if you tell somebody that they don't
205
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.159
believe you. Wow, you know, you could call the state and they'll
206
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.080
come out and they're just like they
don't exist. You know, this is
207
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:30.200
my mind. Yeah, that blows
my mind. So so I was on
208
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.600
a mission. Then I thought,
I thought, you know what I could.
209
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.919
I can do this just as easily, the same as I do Bigfoot.
210
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.000
So I started mapping all the reports
in Pennsylvania. Yeah, and we
211
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.320
think we have over two hundred,
two hundred and fifty reports just from you
212
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.360
know, the past twenty thirty years, and I map them out. You
213
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.440
can see the clusters, you can
see the patterns, and then that's awesome.
214
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:59.360
Luckily enough, I think you'll appreciate
this. You know. I thought,
215
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.759
well, there's kind to be other
people that have done this before,
216
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:07.119
right, So so I found I
found a bunch of people, researchers that
217
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.559
that have did what I attempted to
do, but much better and on a
218
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.960
bigger scale. But it was you
know, ten, twenty thirty forty years
219
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.440
ago. So so I'm trying to
find these people on Facebook, you know,
220
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.079
I actually did find them here.
There's a woman. Her name's Helen
221
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:30.359
McGinnis. She lives in West Virginia. She wrote a book about this in
222
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.119
nineteen eighty two. Wow, because
there was a mountain lion that was killed.
223
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.519
It was shot officially, the Game
Commission was there. There's a picture
224
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.160
of it. There's no there's no
doubt about it. Nineteen sixty seven.
225
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.160
They shot it. Man. So
this lady wrote a book about three hundred
226
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.680
reports all the mountain lion sightings.
But she wrote it in nineteen eighty two,
227
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.720
and she never published it because she
didn't want people to know that.
228
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:06.079
So she gave me crazy yeah.
Wow, Yeah, And I will say
229
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.440
that she she doesn't even believe that
they're here anymore. She used to because
230
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.519
she did all this research, but
she kind of just gave up because they
231
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.799
never acknowledged it. Wow. How
wild. But there's enough of them,
232
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.200
you know. I think they're here. I think they are. I don't
233
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.039
think all these people are making it
up or misidentifying bobcasts. No, No,
234
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:33.279
a bobcat and mount Line is way
different. That's a long tail for
235
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:38.839
a Bob kidding. Oh man,
how crazy? Yeah? So I lived
236
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:45.160
in the go ahead even in Massachusetts. I was gonna say, you know,
237
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.000
in Connecticut there's groups of pop up
sightings, you know, I'm sure
238
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.000
you've heard of it. Yeah,
So growing up in so I grew up
239
00:18:53.039 --> 00:19:02.119
in like north central western mass and
art down. I remember once we had
240
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.759
a mountain lion come down to the
center of town and everyone just freaked out.
241
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.559
I now live in central Iowa in
the Des Moines area, and about
242
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.240
I want to say five to six
years ago, we had a mountain lion
243
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:22.039
get into the center of Des Moines
and they shot it. It was at
244
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:32.160
an elementary school and it was stalking
the kids outside at recess and like the
245
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.799
police just you know, caught shot, of course, because you can't have
246
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.680
a mountain lion stock in your elementary
school kids in the center of the city.
247
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.240
But like that was nuts. But
yeah, you don't mess around with
248
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:49.960
mountain lions, definitely. And do
you know what the official stances in Iowa
249
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.759
do they do they acknowledge that they're
there or do they you know, I
250
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.319
don't know, that's a good question. I have to look into it.
251
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.640
Yeah, it's not a thing where
we're saying like, oh, there's mountain
252
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.880
lions everywhere, like it's definitely not
like that, so I would say they're
253
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:14.839
not seen often. Yeah, probably
yeah, yeah, I have to say
254
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.079
probably not often. But yeah,
that's a that's cool a little. Your
255
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:25.640
database you got going is pretty cool, and you've got Facebook groups that keep
256
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.680
that information together, right if you
want't mind sharing that. Yes, the
257
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:37.680
Bigfoot group is called Bigfoot dog Man
info Library. That's our Bigfoot group that
258
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:45.319
I did first. And then the
Mountain Lion group is called Mountain Lions of
259
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:51.640
Pennsylvania Info Library. Kind of the
same naming structure. Cool. Cool,
260
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.920
But we talked about any of the
Eastern states. You know. We have
261
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.200
thousands of people in these groups and
anybody that wants to talk about it can
262
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:07.519
share information. I was looking through
your your Bigfoot group in the last few
263
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.920
days, some really cool stuff in
there, and man, like, uh
264
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.839
oh, and one of your somewhere
you referenced there was was it the Carbondale
265
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:27.680
White big Foot? That video is
a trip. I've never seen that before
266
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.559
and that just like I was like, nah, no, thanks, man.
267
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.880
I went to school for a year
in the Scranton area of Pennsylvania,
268
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.640
so I know where Carbondale is and
it gets pretty wild out there as well,
269
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.680
like, oh, man, I
can't imagine seeing that that video.
270
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.680
It looks pretty realistic to me.
You know, of course, any video
271
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.559
you see as a matter of opinion
what you think is real or not.
272
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.599
But there's quite a few white bigfoot
reports. There's there's two or three right
273
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.960
near that one in Carbondale, and
there's there's probably seven or eight other ones
274
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:11.880
in Pennsylvania. And yeah, it's
that. Oh I know. I was
275
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.119
going to tell you. There was
a guy who you know, you know
276
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.039
how read it is or Facebook.
You just pop in and people ask,
277
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.680
hey, has anybody seen one here? You know, and this guy just
278
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.160
popped in. I didn't know who
he was. So he started telling his
279
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:36.599
story, and he described being at
a like a campground near Carbondale around the
280
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.920
same time as the video, because
I'm not sure the exact time, but
281
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.799
he said that they were in a
camper like one of those old VW kind
282
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.519
of busses, and they had been
in there all day and they hadn't left.
283
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.279
They were just in there camping,
and at nighttime came and there was
284
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.920
a couple other human beings like camping, hunting, fishing, not too far
285
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.640
away. And he said that what
he observed with this was a white,
286
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.359
hairy creature that was stalking these people. And he was he was watching it
287
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.359
from his camper, you know,
oh boy, and he said that it
288
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.240
was real jerky, you know,
it kind of moved and it would hide
289
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.640
behind trees and duck. But he
what he said that he's you know,
290
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:30.559
he got the witness the supposed bigfoot
just kind of messing with these guys for
291
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.480
out right, and he was he
was really freaked out. And I showed
292
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.759
him that video that you just mentioned. He said, oh man, he
293
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.599
said, I got the chills.
He said, that's what we saw,
294
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.160
oh man. Because it's like then
you think, okay, he's a curiosity
295
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:52.480
or what is this bigfoot doing?
Is it messing it curious? Is it
296
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.759
hunting? Like? Oh, it
could be all sorts of stuff right Like,
297
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:04.079
It's that's pretty wild. Yeah.
Yeah, you had alluded to in
298
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:11.960
a message or you tagged me.
So you've been recently out to Minnesota and
299
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:17.559
you have some cool stuff to share, It sounds like or that you could
300
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:21.160
mention. Yeah, yeah, I
could tell you about that. All right.
301
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.359
So my friend Randy, he's lives
up in Minnesota and he's been communicating
302
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:32.839
with me for probably the last year
or so. And uh, you know
303
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.759
I told you in southern Ohio all
those tree structures, yeah, that I
304
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.839
could just see, you know.
And then as I from the road,
305
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.519
and then when I went into the
woods, I found a lot more.
306
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:51.000
So at Randy's place, it's very
similar, except there's more a lot more.
307
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.480
And I kind of took on like
a sort of a consulting role just
308
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.359
to he would ask me questions,
Hey, what do you think I should
309
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.119
do? You know here? You
know this? And then he had so
310
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.359
many pictures. I thought it was
a good idea to organize all these things.
311
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.000
So we we've kept in touch,
you know, and he keeps me
312
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.519
abreast on what's happening. And you
know, during this this shutdown period,
313
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.640
I thought, you know, I
thought, it's good time to use my
314
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.480
vacation. I'm going to go up
there. Screw it, you know,
315
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.960
it's eighteen hours away, but I'm
going. It's a trip. Yep.
316
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.559
So we went, and you know, I have thermal, I have night
317
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.880
vision, I have trail cameras.
I thought, okay, let's let's do
318
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.759
this. So I set up I
have five cameras, five trail cameras,
319
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:45.640
different kinds and I set them up
at his property, and I said,
320
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.759
I had him running for three days
on a time lapse mode. So they
321
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:56.799
weren't in uh, you know,
infrared, they weren't infrared sensitive. They
322
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.519
weren't capturing motion. They were just
taking pick every so often, you know,
323
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.240
every thirty seconds, they would take
two pictures. And you know,
324
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.920
we we went. We were there
for three days and I saw all the
325
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:17.759
tree structures that he had showed me
in person. He had reported there was
326
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.640
a sighting that he had a week
before we had come. So I decided
327
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:25.799
to put put one of the cameras
up right where, right where things were
328
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:32.359
going on smart and yeah, we
we we got some stuff on our cameras,
329
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.440
which I was kind of surprised,
but we got it. The first
330
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:42.039
night we were there, there was
UFOs wasn't around the whole night, wow,
331
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.799
for hours. Really we look,
we look up there's just stars flying
332
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.799
back and forth, kind of cutting
through. Wow. I mean they weren't
333
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.960
close, but you know they were, they were flying around. So I
334
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.440
got those on video just that.
I probably ten videos of that. I
335
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:07.720
mean that's not often you get pictures
videos of UFOs. No, not really,
336
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.079
I don't think it is that's worth
eighteen hours right there, right right.
337
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.200
And then I got one of my
trail cameras on the time laps mode.
338
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.920
I got a picture of a UFO, which I think it's a UFO.
339
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:30.160
It's a it's a round circular object
in the daytime in the sky.
340
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:36.279
And the reason I think it's a
UFO is because my camera was set to
341
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.839
take two pictures, right one two
within a second one two, I see
342
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.240
where this is going. There's only
one picture of this thing. It's not
343
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.920
in the second picture, and you
can zoom in on it. There's no
344
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.960
propeller yep, right, there's no
there's no tail. It's just this round
345
00:27:53.000 --> 00:28:00.680
circular object that is there. That's
awesome. And then I also got this
346
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:07.319
dark figure right where he told me
that he he had seen it. That's
347
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:12.079
by the power lines that picture,
is that right, that's right? Maybe
348
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.119
I saw that. Yeah, that
is very cool because uh, not to
349
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:21.200
steal your thunder, but you actually
you have someone go out to the same
350
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:26.000
area and you're like comparing, comparing. Yeah, it's very very legit.
351
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:32.000
And you know what, I'm not
gonna say it's bigfoot because I can't prove
352
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:34.160
it either way. But I can
just tell you what, you know,
353
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:40.279
what I've seen, and so that
power lines it's thirty it's thirty yards across,
354
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:44.960
it's one hundred and twenty five yards
away. But there's also a three
355
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.200
foot drop which I didn't realize in
that post that you saw, so I
356
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:55.640
could compare me, which is on
the reference. It's the same size as
357
00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.359
me, but there's it's cut off. So they're a black bear, you
358
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.079
know that that walked across hidden under
the three foot drop, or and then
359
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:12.880
stood up for one picture six feet
tall, just randomly, or you know,
360
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:15.880
it's something else, right, and
it could be a bear. It
361
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.799
definitely could be, but it was
exciting to get that. That's awesome.
362
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:26.960
Yeah. Yeah, we also got
orbs too, but you know, hey,
363
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:33.200
it's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot that
364
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:38.519
they Oh but you know UFO in
Bigfoot, they seem to go together usually
365
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.160
like being a butter and jelly.
You know, it's crazy, you know,
366
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.079
it is like most people just have
a story. You know, we
367
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.160
actually have pictures this time, so
I have evidenced the show. So I'm
368
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:55.319
happy about that. I'm curious and
you don't have to get into super details,
369
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:59.240
you know, for for safety of
this gentleman. But like it's just
370
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:04.559
always this. So they're in Minnesota
and northern it just kind of curious about
371
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:11.000
that. We'll be back with more
Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors.
372
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.599
Yeah, it's his group is called
Randy's Bigfoot Research Okay, Facebook,
373
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:26.160
Okay, and it's north central Minnesota. Okay, gotcha. Cool, that's
374
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.640
where it is. So if anyone
wants to join Heat Post videos all the
375
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.720
time, that's awesome, so very
cool. We'll see them for yourself and
376
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.640
we will be doing a documentary about
this all the evidence. Oh really,
377
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:45.119
Oh that's cool. I was looking
through You have a really interesting documentary on
378
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:53.200
flat squash productions. I like it. It's really cool. Can you give
379
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:59.119
me it's about the research work of
a certain gentleman. Is that correct?
380
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.279
That's correct? Yeah, no,
but I if people haven't gone to your
381
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.480
YouTube channel, definitely go and check
that out. There must have been a
382
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:17.640
ton of work that went into putting
that together. Yeah, it really.
383
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.759
The work was done by my friend
John red Chun, That's who it's about.
384
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:26.160
It's called red Chun on the Ridge
and it's in Dairy Dairy Chestnut Ridge,
385
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.200
same place he's been going there for
fifteen years, man, and he's
386
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.880
the real deal. Like, wow, we're talking a guy that went out
387
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.279
every morning, like four or five
times a week to this place to do
388
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.319
this. And that's where I got
a lot of my ideas for these cameras
389
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.279
and where to put them in the
settings. But if you saw it just
390
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.720
at the end, I mean,
he's got a plus footprints, he's had
391
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:55.680
two sightings, he's got five or
six different heads and faces captured in the
392
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:00.720
in the pictures, you know,
so you know, he was just somebody
393
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:05.640
that people can look to, you
know, as in my opinion, is
394
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:10.319
a really good person that that really
tried his best to get evidence and see
395
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.400
them. And you know, he
even missed them a couple of times.
396
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.440
Like his his one sighting, he
had his camera in his hand and he
397
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:21.839
didn't he didn't get it and it
was too shocked, like he didn't know
398
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.880
what he was looking at. And
by the time he did, it was
399
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:29.400
gone. Yeah it happened so quick. Yeah from what I hear. Yeah,
400
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:36.920
yeah, but thanks, yeah.
Yeah. Looping back to we've we've
401
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:44.200
mentioned stick structures a few times already. Yeah, I'm sure most of us
402
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.400
have have seen pictures of them,
But just as someone who's seen so many
403
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.519
of them, what are the main
things that when you're going out on these
404
00:32:53.559 --> 00:33:00.200
expeditions and what are the main giveaways
that you know you're looking for to know
405
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:06.880
that this is a stick structure from
a big foot and maybe not a blowover
406
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.720
or you know, just a fallen
tree. What are the main giveaways that
407
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:16.640
people or people could look forward to
know the difference in your opinion, Yeah,
408
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:22.079
that's a really good question, especially
for casual observers and hikers. You
409
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:23.599
know, if you're just hiking on
a path, you're just driving down a
410
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.920
road, if you see a pinned
arch, you know, which would be
411
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:31.960
a tree that's kind of bowed over, okay, and that's just the tip
412
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.599
of it. A lot of times
they're still alive, but just the tip
413
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:40.279
of it will be under deadfall and
it's keeping the whole thing in place,
414
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.519
so it's a huge kind of bent
over arch. Those are the easiest ones
415
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.480
to see amongst the other normal trees
that are standing up. You know,
416
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:55.319
there's some that kind of just fall
over that way naturally, but the tips
417
00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:04.240
aren't pinned under other trees. You
know, if you study the environment that
418
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.680
the that tree might be in you
know, most of the time you'll be
419
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.119
able to tell that that didn't occur
naturally, that it looks like somebody with
420
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:17.320
hands manipulated to look like that.
So you know, because it's if you
421
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:22.880
see an arch of arch shaped tree, it's not natural like most of the
422
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:28.360
trees are standing up or slanted or
you know, at some weird angle.
423
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:30.400
But but a pin arch will really
jump out. So that's what I would
424
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.880
say to look for. That's awesome, very cool, Thank you, thank
425
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.800
you. What is uh? What's
coming up next? What do you have
426
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:45.679
any plans for future future trips or
expeditions or what's coming up next for George.
427
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:52.639
Let's see, this year we have
the the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Projects, which
428
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:57.920
is Mary Fabian's group. She has
a group camp out that'll be a week
429
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:04.199
long in July, so that'll be
fin We also have a mountain lion trip
430
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.960
plan for Mishaw State Forests. I
got an inside tip there where to go.
431
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:13.440
There's a guy in the in the
nineties who told me that he got
432
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.719
a video of a mountain lion and
the game commission took his video. And
433
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.480
the funny thing is I was there
last year and I told my buddy,
434
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.880
who research is there? I told
him to go to this spot and here
435
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.320
a year later, some other guy
tells me he's got a mountain lion there.
436
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:36.159
But yeah, so we're going there
and August or late late August,
437
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:42.000
I think, and depending on you
know, how this disclosures have shut you
438
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.480
know, changed a lot of people's
plans exactly, so a lot of my
439
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.599
stuff will just be local. We
we always go out and put out cameras
440
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.599
almost every weekend different places, so
that's always ongoing. You know, a
441
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:59.280
bunch of videos coming up, like
I said that documentary and yeah, so
442
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.480
how the Bigfoot? You know,
how are things going for you in Iowa?
443
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:12.400
Have you have you had any experience
or there's there is an Iowa believe
444
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.559
it or not, there's an Iowa
Bigfoot group. There's not a lot of
445
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:22.280
action that comes out of it that
I've seen. And I'm trying to make
446
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.119
my connections right now because it's still
kind of new for me. There's a
447
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:39.280
great episode that Shannon LaGrow from Into
the Fray put out about experiences in Iowa
448
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.639
with Bigfoot that is it's crazy.
So I mean, well, here's the
449
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:51.440
thing. If you go to southeast
or southwest Iowa, and you're driving along
450
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:57.480
it's not flattened corn It literally looks
like have you ever been in Vermont before?
451
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.559
No? I have. Okay,
well, just imagine the hilly roads
452
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:08.440
of Pennsylvania. Maybe not the crazy
ones, but you'll you can imagine that
453
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:14.400
you're in New England really quick.
So there's definitely spots for these guys to
454
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.960
hide in the southern part of the
state. Now where I am in kind
455
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.199
of north it maybe I don't know, in the middle of the cornfield,
456
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:31.719
but you know my things. I
like to get the story behind the people
457
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:37.760
that are in the community. I
enjoy doing that. Eventually, I want
458
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:44.320
to get more into going to to
festivals. Right now, we have a
459
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:49.119
local festival in Van Meter, Iowa
that I go to every year about the
460
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.840
Van Meter Visitor. I don't know
if you've ever looked this up. You
461
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.880
need to look it up. I'll
give you the short version pretty much.
462
00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:00.480
In the late eighteen hundreds, there's
a pterodactyl creature with a beam of light
463
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.440
coming out of its head that terrorized
the town. The town people chased it
464
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.519
into a mine on the outsides of
skirts of town and then blasted it uh,
465
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:14.599
but it's still seen today and there's
kind of a fun little uh festival
466
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.320
we have every year and like Ja
Pacho Chin from Wisconsin was there last year,
467
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.280
and Lynda Godfrey, you know dog
Man of course she was there,
468
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:28.039
and it's just kind of a fun
thing. So as this you know,
469
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:31.360
podcast grows and grows, you know, I want to start getting into those
470
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:37.480
opportunities of you know, maybe going
to Ohio big Foot Conference or going out
471
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.960
to the Pacific Northwest and you know, actually getting into stuff like you're you
472
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.320
know, you're able to do.
So thank you for asking me that.
473
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:52.880
That was really nice at this time. Do you mind if before we you
474
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.400
know, maybe wrap things up,
but would you be able to you know,
475
00:38:55.559 --> 00:39:00.719
I guess plug what it is that
you would want people to follow you
476
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.280
at, you know, if you
have any uh, you know, your

your top content that you're really proud
of and I already know what the answers
478
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.599
are, but you know, just
go ahead and throw that out there so

thank you. That'd be great,
awesome. Here a Bigfoot Society article
496
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:37.400
is to provide a platform for those
that have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter
497
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.000
in a safe and respected environment.
But we need to hear your story.
498
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:46.679
If you've experienced something that you just
can't explain, please send me an email
499
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.639
at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. Then we can start the conversation.
500
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:58.599
And I know a lot of you
have not shared your encounter at all.
501
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:04.360
It's been twenty years and it's time
that you get this off your chest and
502
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.400
then you can get some well deserved
for rest, because I know you haven't
503
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:12.440
been sleeping. I understand what you're
going through, and I appreciate every one
504
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:13.119
of you listening
