00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.520
privilege of talking to Wes today. Wes is a listener

15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.240
that reached out to me about an incident that happened

16
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.320
out there in the great state of Ohio. He reached

17
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.320
out early December, so glad to talk to him about

18
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.560
what's going on. But welcome to the show today, Wes.

19
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:58.399
Thanks thanks for having me on.

20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.840
Absolutely you know, as we were talking about just a

21
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.760
few minutes ago, is there anything else that you would

22
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.799
like to provide about yourself that listeners might need to

23
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.159
know for context before we get into it about myself.

24
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.000
I grew up in town not far from Saltfork State Park.

25
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.439
I had my upbringing. I spent a lot of time outdoors.

26
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.319
We didn't have cable. It was a spring of probably

27
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:32.040
nineteen ninety four or nineteen ninety five, and the snow

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.439
was melting. It was a sunny day, and in towns

29
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.959
around there, there isn't really anything to do for the

30
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.040
most part. So I decided to go hop in my car,

31
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.799
go for a little drive. And I had never seen

32
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.000
I had been to Saltfork State Park and seen the

33
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.239
Hosac's Cave in the summertime, which is beautiful, but there's

34
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.439
no there's a waterfall that goes over it, and I've

35
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.239
only seen it either dried up or during you know,

36
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.280
with just a little t So I figured, hey, I'll

37
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.280
go out there and we'll see if you know, it's

38
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.760
actually from the parking lot, it's a it's an easy

39
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.039
short hike and we'll see if I'll see if I

40
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.360
can see the falls. And so popped the car, headed

41
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.919
out there, got into the parking lot and was like, oh,

42
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.680
nobody else here, awesome. Nobody else wants to see this,

43
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.039
I guess, and got out started walking towards the falls

44
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:33.039
and or towards the cave, and I get maybe thirty

45
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.400
feet in and I get hitting the back with a

46
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:41.439
little piece of gravel a stone, and I'm like looking around,

47
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.599
I'm like, well, there was nobody in the parking lot,

48
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.719
so there must be somebody up here who was hiking

49
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.360
from somewhere else and is just messing with me. So

50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.759
I go another fifty feet and I get hit hit again,

51
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.680
and it didn't hurt. It wasn't anything, you know, they

52
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.159
weren't thrown it hard. And I'm like okay, So I

53
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.879
kind of crawl up a little bank and look around

54
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.360
see who's messing with me, and there's there's there's nobody there,

55
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.639
all right, Well that's weird. And I just keep on

56
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:17.319
walking and I get to I'm getting probably halfway there,

57
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.280
and I go up around a bend and I get

58
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.520
hit with a rock about the size of a baseball

59
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.199
in my like near my ankle, and it came from

60
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.639
close enough that I can tell exactly where it came from.

61
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.960
So I turned around and was like, hey, that hurt,

62
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.039
And I'm kind of peering around, and I see a

63
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.280
pair of eyes and I'm like, hey, that hurt. And

64
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.520
they just stare at me, and I'm just kind of

65
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.599
glaring at them. And then I'm like, something's off here,

66
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.840
What's what is what's going on here? And I could

67
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.080
tell I was close enough. I was probably five six,

68
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.199
no more than ten feet away from them, and I

69
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:01.639
could see that the whites of their eyes, uh for us,

70
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.680
was not white, it was it was black. And I

71
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.199
just kind of throw my brow I'm like, what what thee?

72
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.719
Then I kind of figured out, you know, I started

73
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.479
looking at the at the skin, so the face was

74
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.160
mainly mainly covered. I could see from about the middle

75
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.800
of the middle of the nose up and it looked

76
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.240
like they had a like a gilly suit on their head,

77
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:32.680
so a bunch of long grass and whatnot. And I'm

78
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:37.600
like looking and I'm like and then I look under

79
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.360
the eyes and there's I mean, I looked long enough

80
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.600
that I could see kind of like cheek pads like

81
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.480
you would see on a on a male ringutang, or

82
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.959
at least that's what I perceived at the time, and

83
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.199
and I'm like, what the heck? And then I glanced

84
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.160
you know, I'm like thinking about this, and I'm like, well,

85
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.920
that's not a person. And I turn and I get

86
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.639
I get the heck out of there, and I get

87
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.120
back to the parking lot and there's still no cars.

88
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.759
Then I take off go back home and tell my

89
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.759
brother and my friend who's there, and they're like, okay, truth, okay, okay, Wes.

90
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:24.839
And nobody believed me, of course, so I you know,

91
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.519
I just kind of put it at the back of

92
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.600
my mind. It's like, Okay, well that was weird. And

93
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.120
like I said, I grew up with no cable, no internet,

94
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.480
wasn't really a thing quite yet. Then and a couple

95
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.720
of years down the road, I'm watching a watching a

96
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.800
show on I think Discovery Channel or something about about

97
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:50.000
Bigfoot and and somebody comes on and he's like, yeah,

98
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.639
so for Kozak's Cave the Ohio grass Man. I'm like what,

99
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.639
And so I'm like, no, way that I actually did.

100
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.279
I actual I saw that. I did not know that

101
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:06.560
other people had seen that, and and so I'm pretty

102
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.759
sure I saw the Ohio grass Man. And you know,

103
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.040
when it's when I thought about it a little bit more,

104
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.160
it's like, why would why would why would it be

105
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.040
throwing rocks at me. Right, So I'm walking towards the

106
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.600
water source right in the springtime as the snow's melting

107
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.600
and whatnot. And all I could figure was maybe I

108
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.560
was walking towards the water source and maybe its family

109
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.759
was there drinking, or maybe it was territorial of the

110
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.639
water source perhaps, And you know, I was, I was

111
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.759
close enough to it that if it wanted to hurt me,

112
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.319
it could have hurt me. You know. When I was

113
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.920
kind of looking looking at in the eyes, I'm like

114
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.000
kind of glance at the falls and then glanced back

115
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.040
at it, and I'm like, oh, and he you know,

116
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.279
it didn't look angry. It didn't have a you know,

117
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.600
a furl and brow. It was just like okay, he

118
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.319
gets it. And it kind of turned and ducked behind

119
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:12.399
the the bank. And like I say, I turned and

120
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:18.000
got down of there, but didn't feel, you know, like

121
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.920
it was evil or a monster or not to get

122
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.920
me or anything like that.

123
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.839
That's extremely interesting, Wess. And you said this was in

124
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.240
the Hosacs Cave area.

125
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.519
Yeah, yeah, Okay.

126
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.399
Have you ever done any research to see about the

127
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.079
other incidents that have happened in Salt Fork State?

128
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.199
Park over the years, not really dig digging too too deeply.

129
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.560
I know that there's been other other sightings in the

130
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.040
park nearby, and that makes sense. It's a pretty it's

131
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.279
a pretty rural area. And I mean there's there's houses

132
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.120
and whatnot out there, but I mean it's a protected area.

133
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.879
It's a state park, so there's not a lot of

134
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.680
there's no industry houses, there are no housing developments. It's

135
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:08.759
it's pretty rural. Absolutely makes I mean in the in hindsight,

136
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.240
it makes makes sense. If I was a creature, that's

137
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.199
where I probably want to be. Oh.

138
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.000
Absolutely, it is a it's a large piece of land

139
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.480
for that part of the country. You know, it's no

140
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.199
Pacific Northwest, as we kind of alluded to beforehand, but

141
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.120
for that area, it's a big piece of area for

142
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:34.639
state park for sure. A few questions that I wanted

143
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.799
to ask you about this. When you were hit with

144
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.399
the rock the size of a baseball, which is is

145
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.360
pretty I mean that's a good sized rock. Did that

146
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.679
cause any any damage to your ankle or it.

147
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.639
Hit me above the ankle like lower lower calf. I

148
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.960
did have an abrasion, but nothing, you know, if I

149
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.000
was close enough that if it wanted to hit me

150
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.120
in the head and eat me. It could have so,

151
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.519
but yeah, I had some scrapes on my on my

152
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.799
lower leg, but nothing nothing, you know, I don't even

153
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.799
think I had a bruise. But you said this was

154
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:12.600
a it's been thirty years.

155
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:19.399
It's so's thirty years. That's a while to remember back.

156
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.200
But it feels like a way you tell it that

157
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:24.679
it's pretty fresh in your mind.

158
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.120
Still.

159
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.840
You said it was about ten feet away from you

160
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:28.879
when you first saw it.

161
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.039
Yeah, yeap. And like I said, it had like a

162
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.919
grass I mean, I don't want to say a grass

163
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.080
hat on, but it had like like a Gillie suit

164
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.759
like it. It looked like it it was trying to

165
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.720
conceal itself. And it had straw over its head and

166
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.399
long grass over its head. And like I say, I didn't.

167
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.559
I didn't realize there was even an Ohio grassman until

168
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.279
a couple of years later, and I'm like, you got

169
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.960
to be kidding me.

170
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:06.480
Was so let's see, was it sitting down on its

171
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.679
haunches or was it standing or how how was it

172
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:10.679
when you first saw it?

173
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.399
So? So, it was behind an embankment and there was

174
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.519
a tree a down tree that was on top of

175
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.720
the embankment, so it was peering over that, and I

176
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.879
couldn't see. All I could see was from the basically

177
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.960
from the bridge of the nose to you know, just

178
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.120
above the eyes. Everything else was either behind the tree

179
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.559
or covered in grass.

180
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.559
Were you able to see a shape to the head

181
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.159
at all since you could see that top part of

182
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:38.600
the head.

183
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.320
No, not not really. I mean it looked like a

184
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.240
big pile of you know, a big pile of leaves.

185
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.240
So but I did not get like a sense of

186
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.679
like you're thinking of like the cone head type of

187
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.440
a thing. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't necessarily get that

188
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.799
that sense, gotcha.

189
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.480
Were you able to see any ears at all? Nope,

190
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.440
from what you could see, and you know, it's interesting

191
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.000
because not seeing all the head, But were you able

192
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:19.159
to get any idea of how whyde across the head

193
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.120
was or how big you know, this head was that

194
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:22.679
you were seeing.

195
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.159
Yeah, I didn't get a sense that it was that

196
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.480
it was at least the eyes and the head didn't

197
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.919
seem like it was any bigger than a human's because

198
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.440
the first second or two I was telling it, hey

199
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.279
that hurt, it didn't even register that it wasn't a person,

200
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.639
you know, wasn't a human. So but yeah, it didn't

201
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.840
seem huge, didn't seem angry, thank goodness.

202
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.879
Right, No, exactly when you said, hey, that hurt, did it?

203
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.399
Did it seem to react to when you were yelling

204
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.320
at it in any way?

205
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.200
Nope, just just kind of a dead stare. Yeah. Like

206
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.120
I said, I didn't feel like it was glaring at

207
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.399
me or anything. It just was like looking at me.

208
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.000
And once I figured out what I was kind of

209
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.240
looking at and had a oh crap look on my face,

210
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.960
then it just kind of turned turned and kducked back behind,

211
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.080
you know, behind the bank and the log.

212
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.919
Absolutely, it sounds like or I guess I'll ask you

213
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.320
in this way the hair on top of the head,

214
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.200
was it more coming down over the face or was

215
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.639
it kind of growing in a way that it was

216
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.720
going back forehead and then up towards the top of

217
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.039
the bed.

218
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.600
Yeah. I couldn't see much. So if you think of

219
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.440
like somebody having a ski mask on, I couldn't. I

220
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.320
couldn't see pretty much anything except for, like I say,

221
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.879
the bridge of the nose to about the brow and

222
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.720
then the rest. I didn't see necessarily hair. I saw

223
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.000
only only the long grass. Okay, gotcha.

224
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.399
Could you see any could you see any of the

225
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:04.960
skin like a skin.

226
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:11.679
Color of the face. Yeah, it was a brown brown,

227
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.080
like I say, the cheek it looked like it had

228
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.720
cheek pads, which could be it could be just baggy,

229
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.399
you know what a baggy weathered skin. The black gilera.

230
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.440
I think it's called the white of our eyes and

231
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.519
the eyes the color of our eyes it was for

232
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.320
it's it was kind of like a golden brown, golden

233
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:35.360
golden yellow.

234
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:42.279
Interesting, So you could see kind of the color of

235
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.840
the skin. Could you get a feel as to if

236
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.159
it was smooth skin or were was it weathered anything

237
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:51.600
like that?

238
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.840
Yeah, it was weathered. It was. It was more of

239
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.320
a leathery, leathery, kind of a thick look to it.

240
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:09.000
Interesting. The four Could you see anything regarding the forehead,

241
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.320
if it was a larger forehead or maybe even if

242
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.600
there was like a brow ridge above the eyes? Anything?

243
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.919
I thought, No, not that I can not that I remember.

244
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.960
I just remember seeing the eyes and like I say,

245
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.240
that long, long, dry grass.

246
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.799
What were the sounds in the forest like that day

247
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.120
when you were walking up to that area and then

248
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.360
started to get stones thrown at you.

249
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:41.840
Yeah, I you know, I don't remember nothing, nothing outside

250
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.919
of ordinary for that time of year. So probably probably

251
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.919
some bird shirpping, but nothing that. Like I said, growing

252
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.279
up with no cable, spent lots of time in the woods,

253
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.120
and nothing that popped out at me is Oh that's

254
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:59.240
weird except for the obvious.

255
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.360
Right, Yeah, except for the big Foot ten feet away.

256
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.679
Kind of a kind of a day changer for sure. Man,

257
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.399
I'd be thinking about that every day. Were there.

258
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.559
I have, I have been absolutely.

259
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.080
I don't blame you. I do not blame you big

260
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.679
for society who will be right back after these messages.

261
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:40.679
Were there any sounds from the Bigfoot itself or any

262
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.960
communication of any ways.

263
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.720
Nope. Besides eye contact, No.

264
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.120
At any point in the interaction, did you start to

265
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.480
feel different emotionally or physically besides getting hit with a rock.

266
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.159
No. When I when I think back, I think, I

267
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.159
mean in my memory, I processed, Okay, I'm walking towards

268
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.200
the water source. Oh, he must have family, she, it

269
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.600
must have other ones down there, so it's protecting the

270
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.519
water source. Kind of popped into my head. I can't.

271
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.000
I wouldn't say that it projected a you know, a

272
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.559
psychic image of that or message of that to me,

273
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.919
like some accounts, if it did, it was subtle enough

274
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.759
for me to think it was me figuring it out.

275
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.240
Sure, And I mean the thing is is that you know,

276
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.440
you only saw the top of its head. You don't

277
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.960
know what was going on behind that area you couldn't see,

278
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.120
or maybe there was a little one on its back,

279
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.399
like you have no idea what you may have potentially

280
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.279
been walking into.

281
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.200
Really yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I know where I was

282
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.320
on the trail. If I'd have gone further, there's like

283
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.919
a if I'd have gone further up the trail another

284
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.159
fifteen twenty feet, I would have been able to see

285
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.160
the falls or see the cave, assuming there were falls,

286
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.000
And so it makes sense that it would, you know,

287
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.319
choose a bigger rock when I got around that area,

288
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.240
if that's what it was, you know, trying to do.

289
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.119
Absolutely, have you ever been back to that park since

290
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.799
this happened?

291
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.720
Not that I not, that I recall. I wouldn't be. No,

292
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.799
I couldn't have, because if I was, I'd be looking

293
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.920
at everything. I would be looking at everything differently. So

294
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:42.960
I'm pretty sure I have I know, for a fact

295
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:44.920
I haven't been out there since then.

296
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.640
Absolutely. That was kind of a leads into a question

297
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.519
I was going to ask you next, is how has

298
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:58.279
this affected you being in the woods since that day

299
00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.839
in the early nineties.

300
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.119
Yeah, well, not a whole you know. I just like

301
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.359
I was just saying, if I was out there again,

302
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.680
I'd be looking at things differently, looking at things close,

303
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.200
more closely. And I do that whenever I I mean,

304
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:16.960
I live outside of you know, I live in the

305
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.400
suburbs now, so not many opportunities to get out into nature.

306
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.279
But when I do, I'm just looking at things and

307
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.359
it's like, is that a stump? Is that a bush?

308
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.079
What am I looking at here? So I guess in

309
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.839
a way it makes me appreciate it more, appreciate nature

310
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.279
more because I'm looking at things a little bit, a

311
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.920
little bit differently, or a little bit more, but not

312
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.039
not creeped out to go through the woods or anything

313
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.319
like that.

314
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.799
Sure, asking this because I did not get it in

315
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.400
my notes. But remind me again, what color of the

316
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.559
hair was on what you saw?

317
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.519
I didn't see any hair, it was all it was.

318
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.759
All all I could see was was grass.

319
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.400
Oh sure, sure, yeah, right, Okay, Okay, Well, I guess

320
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.400
I can ask it this way.

321
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.160
Was it a.

322
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.839
Grass that looked like it was more dead grass or

323
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.400
live green?

324
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.880
M It looked like it was a dead grass, so

325
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.279
it was. It was light, like a light brown, like

326
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.480
dry long grass. So I mean, I suppose if it

327
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.039
had if it had blondish hair, it would have blended in.

328
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.680
But all I recall seeing was the kind of the

329
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.519
grass and sticks and stuff.

330
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:42.880
Trusting after this happened, how long was it before you

331
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.799
had any conversations regarding what you saw?

332
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.960
Oh, within half an hour. I high tailed at home

333
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.480
and told my brother and my best friend, who were

334
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:04.519
were teenagers at the time, and you know, they were like, okay, okay, sure, so,

335
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.720
which is typical. Typical when you tell a story like that,

336
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.799
it's like, okay, buddy.

337
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.200
Unfortunately it is it is par for the course usually

338
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.640
with these accounts. Was there anyone that believed you when

339
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.119
you would tell what happened to you that day?

340
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.759
Only more recently I had I told, I told somebody

341
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.759
and they were like, oh, when I was in the

342
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:33.559
Pacific Northwest, we were we were hiking from somewhere to

343
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.839
the to the ocean and to the shore, and something

344
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.119
big was following us. A couple of things that were

345
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.400
big were following us, and the trail guide said, just

346
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.559
keep on going. You're you're You're fine, They're fine, Just

347
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.160
keep on keep on waking walking. Wow.

348
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.559
After someone experiences something like this where you know, you

349
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:03.960
actually had a class a visual sighting, sometimes it will

350
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.279
affect them in their lives afterwards, or strange things will happen.

351
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.839
Is that the case with yourself? Has anything out of

352
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.200
the ordinary happened to you in the years since you

353
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:17.000
had this sighting?

354
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.000
Wow, it's hard to It would be hard to parse

355
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:27.079
out nothing that I would that I could go back

356
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.920
and attribute to that experience.

357
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.519
What are the main things that you think about regarding

358
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.559
that day when you think about it? Are there any

359
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.920
regrets you have? Things that you wish you had done

360
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:42.839
differently that day?

361
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.319
Oh? Well sure, I mean in hindsight, right, it's like

362
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.319
I wish i'da would have engaged engaged it, you know,

363
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.799
if if it wasn't, like I said, I didn't get

364
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.240
to necessarily the vibe that I was in, you know,

365
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.279
peril or danger. I would like to think that if I,

366
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.759
if I, if I was to go back there and

367
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.799
have the same experience today, I would try to make,

368
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.839
you know, communicate with it, or make contact with it,

369
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.119
or just kind of get a better you know, get

370
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.839
a better get a better look at it without without it,

371
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.599
you know, becoming hopefully becoming aggressive or or anything of

372
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.720
that sort. But you know, I wouldn't have changed that

373
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.920
I went out there that day. I'm glad that I did.

374
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.599
It gives me a wider perspective on the world in general,

375
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:46.359
the natural world, and also in how skeptical people can

376
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.200
be when they don't when they haven't seen it, when

377
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:54.319
they haven't seen something, how flippant they can be just

378
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.839
like mm hmm, okay exactly.

379
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:04.920
It's unfortunately a thing where even what I've found from

380
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.039
just going out a little bit, you have to be

381
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:13.200
careful who you tell what happened to because people will

382
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:17.519
view you differently afterwards. It's important to try to find

383
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.839
the right type of person that will be receptive to

384
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.440
what you experience. I don't know, that's something I'm still

385
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:29.680
working through myself, and I haven't I haven't even had

386
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.440
a visual sighting like yourself. It was just a weird

387
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.000
thing we heard, you know, down in the Class B section.

388
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:42.640
But I was very strange. Nonetheless, thinking back to what

389
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.279
you had seen and experience that day, did you get

390
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:55.319
any feelings or from what you experience that whatever was

391
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.759
out there ten feet away was something more of a

392
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:04.319
huge human type creature or an ape or maybe something

393
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:05.359
completely different.

394
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.119
Yeah, I mean I could, I could. I could see

395
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.400
it being a you know, a rangutang. Is the is

396
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.440
the first thing that kind of came to mind when

397
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.640
I saw kind of the skin under its eyes and

398
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:24.119
the you know it to me, I mean. But however,

399
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.480
on the same note, when I was kind of glaring

400
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.319
at it, I couldn't you know, I had to stop

401
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.440
and kind of parse out what was what is off here,

402
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:37.480
so I could see it being some something in between.

403
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.720
I could see it being a full on, you know,

404
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.839
a rangutang type of a species that said has you

405
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.599
know that has. I don't know if it would be

406
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.400
even extra intelligent, because orangutans are pretty smart as as

407
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.759
it is. Well, there's no there's no fossil records of

408
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.920
as far as I know, frimemates and whatnot in in

409
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.240
that area, even from from ancient not ancient times, but

410
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:13.920
you know, way back. But so my, you know, it's

411
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.039
hard to say It's hard to say, but I would

412
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.240
say definitely not a human pretending or anything like that.

413
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:25.680
It seemed more physically, it looked more like it was

414
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:34.480
a primate it like. But but the eye contact communication

415
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:40.079
seemed like, Okay, we have an understanding or hey, you know,

416
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:45.400
I get I get it. No, that probably doesn't help

417
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:46.200
at all. It's kind of a.

418
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:50.680
I think it does help in a way that I

419
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.240
think any you know, any talking about about what happened

420
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.079
definitely helps, and it's in its unique way. But do

421
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.160
you ever you know, I'm trying to put myself in

422
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:08.319
that situation, and I'm almost thinking I wonder if I

423
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:13.680
would have a regret that I didn't follow it over

424
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.680
that hill to see what was over there. I don't

425
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.680
think I probably would have done it, though, I mean

426
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:23.279
to be honest, I probably would have been freaked out

427
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:24.920
and just gotten out of there.

428
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.160
Oh yeah, I mean fighter fight or flight kicks in,

429
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.680
and you know, it's like scoot, I don't even remember

430
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.279
half the drive home. It's like, oh, lost in my

431
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:41.200
head and trying to process right. But yeah, in hindsight,

432
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:43.599
it's like I wish, I wish I if I had

433
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:48.000
the same opportunity again, I would I would try to

434
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.359
to not necessarily walk over that ridge, but maybe walk

435
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:58.000
towards it, or kind of keep eye contact and and

436
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:01.720
and walk towards it a little bit non threatened. But

437
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.079
you know, who knows in the moment what anybody does.

438
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.880
And that's the trick. You know. It's easy for I

439
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:17.000
think sometimes when you listen to people giving accounts and

440
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.119
you can be like, oh, I would have easily done this,

441
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.799
or you know, but when you get in that situation,

442
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.519
it's a whole whole different ballgame. That's why I'm learning

443
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.200
myself as I start to go out. But have you,

444
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.480
you know, being in that area, have you ever heard

445
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:39.400
any other accounts of people seeing similar things? Not I

446
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.720
guess not so much in the Salt Fork area, but

447
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.319
maybe in the region around this part of Ohio.

448
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:50.279
Oh yeah, yeah, there's let's see north of there. My

449
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:54.880
parents are both from Tuscross County, which is which is

450
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:57.720
a county or two, I think one county up from

451
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:02.839
Salt Fork north and there's there's legends, and there's every

452
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.160
every so often there's sightings in the newspaper and whatnot.

453
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.200
But and that's the the foothills of the Appalachian mountains.

454
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.519
I mean, that's that's where they they are just rolling

455
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.119
hills and it's still pretty lush, but a lot of

456
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.319
it is farmland. But the wherever there is you know,

457
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.640
wooded areas, it's pretty pretty thick. And I've I've had

458
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.079
I've had another. When I was younger, I had had

459
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:41.799
an another experience which with a big foot, I think, so,

460
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.960
which is probably sounds I mean, it all sounds unbelievable. Right.

461
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.960
I was in I was probably eleven or twelve, and

462
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.640
I was out of my my uncle's place, which is

463
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.799
Sugar Creek, Ohio, and we would spend all summer there

464
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.880
and I'm there was a wooded area behind his behind

465
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.000
his house that was on a on a bank, it

466
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.599
was a hill, and we used to go back there

467
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.000
and swing on on on vines and stupid stuff. And

468
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.519
I was, you know, it was had it was summertime,

469
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.559
and I'm kind of going going through, going through the woods,

470
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:29.079
and I hear something hitting a tree with a log

471
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.839
Bank Bank Bank. I'm like, oh, that wasn't very far away.

472
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.839
So I pick up a branch and bank Bank Bank

473
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:43.039
and just kind of look around and listen, and it

474
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:48.319
happened again. Bank Bank bank, and I, you know, I replied,

475
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.640
and I'm looking up the up the hill and this

476
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.200
is probably thirty feet away, but was something that looks

477
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:01.960
like a small gorilla out from from the side of

478
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.119
the of a tree. And all I could see was silhouette,

479
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:09.920
but it did have a like a cone head, and

480
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.279
I'm just staring at it, of course, right, and it

481
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.039
popped back behind the tree and I got the heck

482
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.440
out of there, And of course I told my uncle

483
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:23.519
and he's like, okay, you know, but that one did

484
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.200
not appear to be you know, I didn't get the idea.

485
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:28.839
It wasn't huge. It had to have been a juvenile.

486
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.720
But and same deal with like, not until years later

487
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:41.720
watching some bigfoot show did somebody describe what peekers or

488
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.720
or where they peek out from behind a tree? And

489
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.279
I had never heard any other reports of that, so

490
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:53.000
I that's the same deal. As soon as I saw that,

491
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:55.039
it's like, you got to be kidding me. I thought,

492
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:59.319
I thought that was just just because you know, you

493
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.160
think about these and it's like, was I dreaming? What

494
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.759
did I really see that? And to go to go

495
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.359
you know, years did the future and and then see

496
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:13.519
a show where others are reporting the same thing that

497
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.519
you saw in the same way that you saw it.

498
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:22.319
It's like, oh, I'm not alone. Awesome, I mean, other

499
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:27.279
others have. That wasn't a dream. Somebody somebody else saw

500
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:32.240
the same thing that I saw. So it's it's weird

501
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.160
that there's a there's a video that's out there now

502
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.880
that's somebody out out in the woods and they're in

503
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.720
like a pine pine tree kind of area and the

504
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.359
end they look, you know, they look off to the

505
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:50.160
to the right, and about thirty feet away there's a

506
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.079
you know, a figure, a silhouette that pokes out behind

507
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:58.160
the tree, looks like it should be wider than the tree,

508
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.799
and then poke, you know, he walks, takes a step

509
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:05.960
towards and it pops back behind the tree. And that's

510
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.720
exactly what I saw, but smaller.

511
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:14.079
That's interesting that that county you're referring to. Looking at

512
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:17.240
it on a map, it looks like it's just maybe

513
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:21.240
a bit west of Minerva is to the east of it,

514
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.079
which is, you know, you're probably aware, is a definite

515
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.480
you know, hotspot area for Bigfoot. So you know, looking

516
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:33.200
at sighting reports for this county, I see, you know,

517
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:37.440
there are multiple people that are having sightings going you know,

518
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.559
from two thousand and eight all the way back to

519
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.960
nineteen eighty three. So I don't think it's it's out

520
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.359
of the question at all that that people are having,

521
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:52.920
you know, sightings in this this area just looktually just

522
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.960
north of Salt Fork, a few towns north probably, but.

523
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.920
Yeah, probably probably an half an hour half an hour north.

524
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.640
