Season 1

A North Georgia expedition turns intense when Scott and Sheila Granger of Squatch Fishing Outfitters capture one of the clearest thermal videos yet of a massive upright figure moving through the woods only yards away from their group.


The next morning they return to the exact location and uncover a trail of huge tracks, fresh tree breaks, and signs something large had been feeding nearby. As the conversation unfolds, the stories get even stranger: campers waking to hands pressing on tents, rocks thrown into camp, guttural growls moving through the darkness, daylight sightings near Ellijay and Jasper, and unexplained activity deep in the mountains.


Scott and Sheila also share what happened while hosting Expedition Bigfoot’s Mireya Mayor and Russ Acord, why activity across North Georgia feels more active than ever, and the eerie encounters they experienced in Land Between the Lakes involving thermal anomalies and possible Dogman activity.


This episode is packed with firsthand accounts, wilderness tension, and some of the most compelling recent Bigfoot activity discussed on Bigfoot Society.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big Flat Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.240
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.200
got the privilege of talking to Scott and Shila Granger

12
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.719
today from Squatch Fishing Outfitters out there in North Georgia.

13
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:41.960
How are you guys doing today?

14
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.920
We're doing great, Jeremiah. How are you?

15
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.679
Oh, I'm doing good. As we were talking through email

16
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.719
a month or so ago, and in your episode last

17
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.880
year was actually one of the top ones. So I

18
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.439
was like, man, I got to get them back on

19
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.159
to get a fall up. Then you guys had something

20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.120
happen and you are like, hey, have you seen this

21
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.879
video on our TikTok? And so We'll talk about that

22
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.040
later because it is really intense for listeners that are

23
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.640
new that having to have the first episode and they

24
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.319
can go back and watch that. But can you can

25
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.879
you talk a little bit about, you know, what Squatch

26
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.159
Fishing Outfitters is and what you guys do with that

27
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.359
before we get into it.

28
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.359
Yeah, we're outfitter here in the North Georgia Mountains and

29
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.439
we specialize in carrying people out on big footing expeditions,

30
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.760
which are we do in one of two ways. It's

31
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.519
either a two night camping expedition or we actually offer

32
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.200
a one night event where it's four to six hours long.

33
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.000
The other thing we do is we also got fly

34
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.359
fishing trips on small streams up here in North Georgia

35
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.480
Mountains and that's basically a nutshield, you know what it is.

36
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.319
We did and we have been staying pretty busy.

37
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.079
We we we stay a lot. Basically, something that started off,

38
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.319
as you know, a hobby and a good thing for

39
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.039
us has turned into a full time thing and me

40
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.199
and she will both actually do this full time now.

41
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:12.199
Yeah, we love it.

42
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.520
That's amazing. Oh my goodness. And you have I mean,

43
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.919
you can follow you guys on Facebook and TikTok, and

44
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.400
you have a really fun presence on TikTok. You have

45
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.360
some fun lives. I like hanging out in those. But

46
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.240
I mean, as you can see if if you guys

47
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.840
are listening on the audio version, the YouTube version is

48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.000
going to be you always want to check that out.

49
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.879
But in this one, it's going to be pretty important.

50
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.120
There's going to be some photos and videos, photos and

51
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.719
video to check out. But so you've got some upcoming dates.

52
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.319
You've got May, June, September, October, You've got a lot

53
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.840
of different things people can reach out to about.

54
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.759
We really do. And actually that September date rut there

55
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.039
it's full, it's sorry field up, Oh my goodness.

56
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.439
And I'm showing the October thirtieth peasant field. That's actually

57
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:00.000
that's the most.

58
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.159
Yeah, that's usually the one that fills up first, but

59
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.680
it hasn't yet, so we still have openings on it

60
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:07.479
and all the rest of that.

61
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.479
Also is that because it's like Halloween, it's I think

62
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.439
so I think, yeah, that's funny. I bet that'd be

63
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.280
pretty wild, though. Can you can you share? You know,

64
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.560
and I know that you've shared some stuff in the past,

65
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.759
but you just recently had a really cool experience that

66
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.879
you guys were able to facilitate where you were able

67
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.199
to lead the group that doctor Maria Mayor has together.

68
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.560
Right, Yes, yes we did. We we hosted that for them.

69
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.199
That was an outstanding weekend. We had a lot of

70
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.759
fun with it. They had a lot of fun with it.

71
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.400
All the all the people from her Explore Society, they

72
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.120
had a blast.

73
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:54.759
Yeah, it was really cool.

74
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.960
We had people, she had people coming out to North Georgia.

75
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.599
I mean they come as far as Canada. Oh gosh,

76
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.759
oh yeah, Jackson Hole Way.

77
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:03.719
I mean it was.

78
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.039
It was awesome, It really was. And we wound up.

79
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.319
We had a lot of sounds and everything you know,

80
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.479
happened like normal. On one night on night hike, we

81
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.800
uh we had an upright walking something cross in front

82
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.399
of the thermal and they got off in the thicker vegetation

83
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.439
away from us a little bit, but it stayed peeking

84
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.879
around the corner at us and uh, daughter Maria she

85
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.079
was able to hold the thermal on that while my

86
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.639
me and Russ we went around trying to flush it

87
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.680
out so everyone else could see it, but it evated

88
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.240
us and it just stayed kept the trees and vegetation

89
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.279
between him and them and just went right on the ridge.

90
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.399
So other than the peeking out, you know, and the

91
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.120
ones that did get to see it walking walk across

92
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.639
in front of the thermal. Uh, that was the only

93
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.319
ones that got to see it. They got but they

94
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.439
did get to see that.

95
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.160
That's really cool. You not only had Maria there, but

96
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.279
you also had a russ a cord from both from

97
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.879
expedition Big Food. Correct.

98
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.759
Yeah, yeah, And there was a there was another thing

99
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.720
that happened Saturday morning when we're getting up getting ready

100
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.879
to fix breakfast for the entire crew. Uh, A lot

101
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.120
of folks were already up, you know, sitting around talking

102
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.399
about the nice events, and they started asking me different things,

103
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.560
and they asked me if I knew that Russe and

104
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.399
Maria had got up, like at two o'clock in the

105
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.839
morning and walked up to the cook area and we're

106
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.800
just sitting around talking. I thought about it from men,

107
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.759
I said, you know, not that I know of, but

108
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.319
they'll be up in just a minute, coming up this way.

109
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.399
We'll we'll ask them to find out And neither one

110
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.240
of them had left their tents that night, and there

111
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.879
want one or two people there were several heard this

112
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.600
and they were they were looking at them like, of course, y'all,

113
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.120
y'all got up last night. Was having a conversation up here,

114
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.120
and Maria is looking at him like, neither one of

115
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.519
us left our tents last night.

116
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.879
Oh man, that's that's creeky stuff.

117
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.360
It was, you know, And I'm sitting I'm sitting back

118
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.279
watching to listen to this, and she's telling me, you

119
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.639
know that she assured them they had not left their

120
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.600
tents that night. You know, from that point on that crew,

121
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.480
it was a short enough game on Yeah, and we

122
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.879
had a lot of other things happened that went on

123
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:20.839
during that event.

124
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:21.759
And they're ready to come.

125
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.839
Back, and over half of them have been in contact

126
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.040
with us. They're ready to come back.

127
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:31.319
That's awesome. There's also the episode I heard. I want

128
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.199
to say it was maybe on Banal of America where

129
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.079
Josh Josh Joshua Cutchen and yes where on one of

130
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.560
your your your expeditions. But it's cool because it's a

131
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.279
very very detailed look into what happens on your expeditions.

132
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.560
And I'm going to put that in the show notes

133
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.279
so people can if they want to really dig into

134
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.439
what exact actually happens. I mean, those guys did a

135
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.600
really cool uh that it did. It did a really

136
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.120
good job of of really laying out what happens on

137
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.439
there side. But it was fun probably hanging out with

138
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.360
those guys as well.

139
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.439
It was they were. They were great to have out

140
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.720
there with us, and Josh and Tim both, I mean.

141
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.600
They were, they were hysterical, they were.

142
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.759
You know, Tim, Tim walked into that whole situation, total

143
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.560
total type skipping type deal and uh he left, he's

144
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.720
ready to come back, and Josh is definitely coming back.

145
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.680
I think that was Josh's really first time camping sake.

146
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:37.199
Time camping trip, and that's wild. What what a what

147
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.759
a thing to be thrown into is. And I mean

148
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.480
not that I haven't made it down in North Georgia yet,

149
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.879
the everything I I know, I know you're waiting, it's

150
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.160
on the list. It really is. Actually I was. I

151
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.000
was just in the Smokies and I was like, maybe

152
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.160
I could just hop down down there, and I was like, oh,

153
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.319
there's no hopping down there around here, Like not for

154
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.439
this guy. Maybe for you guys, but not for me.

155
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.519
I was like, this is more intense than I thought.

156
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.879
A lot of people come here and you know, most

157
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.560
places they gauge distance between two areas in mileage. They say, well,

158
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.920
it's ten miles over there, so you can assume it's

159
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.040
about ten fifteen minutes. Most up here we tell you

160
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.480
in time, because it may only be fifteen miles, but

161
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.839
it'll take you thirty forty five minutes drive those fifteen

162
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.839
miles mountain. It was yeah, yeah, and you got to

163
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.439
experience that up there in Tennessee.

164
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.159
Yeah, my gonness. You know, waiting like forty minutes to

165
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.480
take a left hand turn and then you know you've

166
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:43.360
got like the crazy windy roads on the side of

167
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.759
a mountain and you're like, man, I hope we make

168
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.559
it through this. This is pretty crazy.

169
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.559
You know.

170
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.440
It was a good time. So the places that you

171
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.440
guys are taking your expeditions, would you say, these are

172
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.240
pretty active places. These are places that you found over

173
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.799
the years or they are.

174
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.679
We maintain seven or eight locations that we utilize all

175
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.919
the time, and we keep a very close check on

176
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.080
all those areas. They all have activity. And when we

177
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.799
put out the exact location to our participants, we wait

178
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.799
seventy till seventy two hours prior to the event to

179
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.039
put that out to them. That does two things for us. One,

180
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.320
it helps keep us from getting encroached on by other

181
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.360
people people finding out about where it's going to actually

182
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.759
be at. The second thing is me and Shu that

183
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.159
we may have two areas at the same time, you know,

184
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.879
that are both extremely active. And it comes right down

185
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.399
to that seventy two hour mark before we have to

186
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.639
make a decision on or we're going to car these folks.

187
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.399
And a lot of it is according to how big

188
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.080
our group is going to be. We try not to

189
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.919
carry out over twelve participants just so we'll have that activity,

190
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:56.879
but of.

191
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.600
Course we have to look, you know, so it's twelve.

192
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.919
We got to use the when we've got to use

193
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.279
the bigger areas and facilitate that amount of people. If

194
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.039
we have smaller groups, we can get in a lot tighter,

195
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:13.799
more remote areas and uh with the smaller groups. And

196
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.960
it's you know, there's a lot of things that depends

197
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.600
on where we carry these folks.

198
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.600
Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean, it all probably depends on

199
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.639
what they are capable of physically. But I mean just

200
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.159
the fact that you're doing smaller groups that probably helps

201
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.519
you out a tones. Sometimes you get these you know,

202
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.879
bigger groups, and it's just it's hard to go anywhere.

203
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.279
You know, everyone knows you're there, man, so.

204
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.120
Then it overwhelms the forest itself and are still there

205
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.360
down they're just gonna hunker back, you know, and just

206
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.200
watch what's going on and not not want to interact

207
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.039
or anything like that. And you know you mentioned something

208
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.919
just then. We also we set these uh expeditions up

209
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.639
for anyone that wants to participate and go. They can

210
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.679
even someone with physical disabilities.

211
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:09.639
Oh wow.

212
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.519
We set up a sitting group area for folks like

213
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.279
that and for folks that just don't want to hike,

214
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.600
you know, out in the forest in the middle of

215
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.720
the night, and all these areas that we'll use. We

216
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.600
have capable vehicles. If someone give you an idea and

217
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.240
I'll just put it out there. This is the most

218
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:32.279
harshest way. If someone was on a walker, we have

219
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.519
capable vehicles. We can carry them right to the city

220
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.600
area if someone wants to participate.

221
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.759
And a lot of times we have activity right there

222
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.360
where we put on you know, you have activity at

223
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.639
a sitting group and then you know you'll have the

224
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.879
hiking group venture off.

225
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.720
And it seems like sometimes they bring it back.

226
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.200
Yeah, if the hiking group has activity out there with them,

227
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.320
as we work our way back to the sitting group,

228
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.200
those things will naturally curiosity follow us, so the sitting

229
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.799
group actually gets a double section of chances.

230
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.480
That's really cool. Something I learned when I went out

231
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:11.519
to Oregon the first time, and at first I thought

232
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.080
it was like they were joking, but they weren't, was

233
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.000
when you get to an area you need to immediately

234
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.960
turn your car around so that you can leave. And

235
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.519
I was like, are you guys for sure, and they're like, no,

236
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.120
we're we're at like we get chased out of here,

237
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.399
Like that's what happens, and so does that? Does that

238
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.679
ever happen? Do you guys have to worry about that

239
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.559
down in North Georgia or is it a little bit

240
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:35.519
laid back?

241
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:40.840
And yes, some of the areas we go to, yes,

242
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.159
we have been escorted out and we do just like

243
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.200
what you just said, when we get to areas, we

244
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.120
set our vehicles up for leaving. You definitely don't want

245
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:52.360
to be in a hurry trying to back up in

246
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.240
the middle forest, you know, in a hurry.

247
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.000
Especially on those little tiny.

248
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.519
But yes, we you set everything up for the leaving

249
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.639
process if needed. And our number one thing, you know,

250
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:11.480
is people's safety, and Chila come up with a cool

251
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.559
little moto for us. We ain't lost one yet.

252
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.759
Yeah, that's a good slogan. We ain't lost one yet.

253
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.000
That's true. There to go, all right, fair enough, that's good,

254
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:25.720
that's good. Hopefully keep that number. So you were able

255
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:31.919
to send over a few pictures and maybe we could

256
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.840
go through a few of those right now.

257
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.440
If that's all right?

258
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.360
Sure, all right, cool? What do we have going on here?

259
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.639
You want to?

260
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:44.320
Okay? Yeah, At the top end of that picture right

261
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.000
there where the take measures at that's a track. That

262
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.759
track has measured out sixteen and a half inches in

263
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:57.919
linked this. This is the next day after the video

264
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.600
was made from the therm. From that thermal video was made,

265
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.519
we went back into this area, found the area where

266
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:10.480
this and everyone knows I call him critters with that

267
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.120
area where this creator was squatted down, either squatted or kneeling,

268
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.480
and it appeared that he was eating something in the video.

269
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.519
And there's also vegetation in that area where he squatted

270
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.480
down this edible. So when he was reaching his arms

271
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.559
out on the video, my personal eye, I think he

272
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.840
was reaching out pulling some of this vegetation, eating it

273
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.200
also because there's marshall vegetation where things had been pulled off.

274
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.200
But when he left out, he left a significant trackway

275
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.519
and we were able to track this thing all the

276
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:42.840
way up to where he crossed the road.

277
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:44.919
How long was that.

278
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.840
About a little less than the eighth of a mile?

279
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:50.440
Ye?

280
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.720
Really, he is like it didn't care.

281
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.399
It is like he didn't care that he was leaving

282
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.039
tracks like he did, or anything he broke. There's some

283
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.679
other pictures in the area, breaks, little limbs and everything.

284
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.159
Is because that's not a fresh sure, that's just one.

285
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.039
That's one of the three breaks that are there.

286
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.120
Was it this one?

287
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:13.360
Yes, it was like.

288
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.320
He's a little bit aggravated. But in the video, we

289
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.639
sit there and watched him for you know, a pretty

290
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.919
good while, and I think he noticed us paying a

291
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.879
close attention to that area, and he didn't really realize

292
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.039
we could see him because we were using thermals, and

293
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.639
he just kind of got a little aggravated with it,

294
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.559
you know, and decide he'd leave on out.

295
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:35.679
But he didn't leave it.

296
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.080
He didn't know, he didn't run off. He left out

297
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.960
real slowly gradually It was.

298
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.759
Kind of shocking me because usually when we get him

299
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.919
on the THURM, you got just a few seconds, you know,

300
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.159
but this video was like close to seven minutes.

301
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.120
Well yeah, there's like an extra minute and the end

302
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.399
where I held it in the area, you know, just

303
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.759
in case he did back out somewhere and showed itself again.

304
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.600
This this picture is really cool because it reminds me

305
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.120
of stuff that I saw in Mount Hood National Forest

306
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.279
last year in twenty twenty five. But it's like a

307
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.200
smaller version of it. But just the way that it's

308
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.120
like broken and twisted over, that's really really cool. Guys,

309
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.960
I see, I want to make sure so we got

310
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.320
this when we looked at then looks like this is

311
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.720
a little bit closer here. So is this in the

312
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.159
same area or a different area?

313
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.320
Is in the primary and that's why took that picture.

314
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.519
Is that pretty high?

315
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.639
Yeah? That that break out there is at about the

316
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:39.639
eight foot mark roughly. Wow, okay, And it's a clean

317
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.000
you know, it's a it's a it's a clean break

318
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.480
with a twist. Do it also?

319
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.120
Is it one of those where it's like twists broken

320
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.080
and then it continued to grow type deal?

321
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.120
I don't think this is a fresher.

322
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:59.639
It is a fresher, gotcha, all right? And it looks

323
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.559
like this is the same area without the.

324
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.400
Yea, that's a different track track line.

325
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.400
He just did not care.

326
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.200
That's a different track and that's actually the right foot.

327
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.799
Okay, So are you guys doing Do you guys do

328
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.440
any casting when you're out there.

329
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.279
If it's good enough it but this ground was so

330
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.559
hard and you can see just stepped on the foliage

331
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.039
and laid it down.

332
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:29.000
That foliage down, and the intention is good, but it

333
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.200
it wasn't, you know, good enough for me to say

334
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:31.720
you left wrong.

335
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.440
Get the cast material right exactly? Man, Yeah, that that

336
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.000
would be tricky ground there because you're probably it's probably

337
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.720
hard to see stuff like toes and unless they happen

338
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:49.039
to go through a muddy area or okay, let's see.

339
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.920
So so we got some interesting stick things happening on

340
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.759
the ground here, same area.

341
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:02.200
Same area, but that actually that's a track that okay, yeah, right,

342
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.799
it's kind of like for those two stakes that are

343
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.079
going to a point right there in the center of it,

344
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.279
you can see the track that's his left foot.

345
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:16.519
Okay, very cool, very cool, And I'm just gonna Okay,

346
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:23.319
so you've got another break here, something that's cool.

347
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.000
That's cool.

348
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.119
We looked at that one and then okay, so this

349
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.720
is good. So this is a good lesson for listeners

350
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.119
or viewers. Even if you don't have a tape measure

351
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.519
with you, as long as you have a dollar bill,

352
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.480
then you can put that next to the footprint and

353
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:41.799
you can know how long it is, because everyone knows

354
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.200
how long a dollar bill is.

355
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.359
So and you know, and and the overall size of

356
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.680
the dollar bill, you know, that gives a good reference

357
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.200
point to what you're looking at. If you just take

358
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.839
a straat picture, it's kind of hard because everyone's hands

359
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:59.359
are different sizes, but that's a standard size, so everyone

360
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.119
understands that that.

361
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.000
Oh absolutely, I think we need to watch that video

362
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.039
because we've probably got a few listeners that are like, oh,

363
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.440
that sounds kind of are we sure about that? And guys,

364
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.200
we are totally sure about that, because I've seen this video.

365
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:20.079
It's like, oh my goodness, guys, it's a wht.

366
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.680
Give you a little backdrop on this video. As we're

367
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.079
as we're going down our trail, you know, and we're

368
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:31.440
looking we've got a I'm thinking, I know a file

369
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.160
thermals that are running at the time, and I'm in

370
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.039
the lead of the group, and I actually passed this.

371
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.279
One of our team members that was right behind me

372
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.559
called it. He's not probably two yards behind me, but

373
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.000
he called it and he says, Scott, come here, and

374
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.559
so I backed up and I'm looking at his and

375
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.759
then I find it online and for whatever reason, I

376
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.960
thought about it, and I went on ahead and hit

377
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.279
the record button. Because a lot of times when these

378
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.480
kind of things happen, you know, you don't think about

379
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.640
hitting the picture of the record, but you really don't.

380
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.039
In that particular time, I thought about hitting the record,

381
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.279
but I'm very glad I did.

382
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.920
Mm hmm. Okay, so let me get this, let's get

383
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.319
this brought up here. You think it would be it

384
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:15.839
would be good to zoom in a little bit. What

385
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.480
do you think, guys? Or should we play it the

386
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.640
full the full view of the video?

387
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.519
You probably can zoom in about where you're at.

388
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:31.119
Okay, So what I'm thinking is, uh, I'd say we

389
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:33.759
just play it. Maybe you can even do commentary about

390
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.160
what we've got going on. I think it's about just

391
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.079
under five minutes.

392
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:39.279
Yes, yeah, all right.

393
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:44.759
And so uh so this happened just uh for contexts,

394
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.400
this happened recently and is in North Georgia?

395
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.839
Right, great?

396
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:53.519
Okay, and what's what's the date on on this again?

397
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:59.119
The second?

398
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.920
Yeah, that's wild. Oh my goodness, it's so recent. Okay,

399
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:05.559
here we go.

400
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.480
This as you can see right there, it's moving forward

401
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:16.839
and it has a broke up. Look a little bit.

402
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.519
There's vegetation and foliage between us and this creature right here.

403
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.279
And we actually got to see the next day how

404
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.119
much vegetation was between us.

405
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:29.599
How far away is this right now?

406
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.759
Do you think about seventy five yards? Man?

407
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.519
Are you hearing it? Like break stuff?

408
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.960
I actually know we were not. He was just far

409
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.920
enough not to hear it.

410
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.839
There he is, Oh my goodness, you can see it

411
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:54.680
like doing stuff with its arm.

412
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.960
Yes, he's reaching his arms out, you know, like he's

413
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.640
pulling it something. There's a portion to it where he's

414
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.960
you can kind of sort of tell he's bringing his

415
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:09.960
arms up towards us, towards his head. Yeah. And at

416
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.839
this point right here, he's either kneeling or squatted down.

417
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.160
Yeah, at this point.

418
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.680
Yeah, and you see right there he's reaching his arm out.

419
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:24.759
That's incredible.

420
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.559
There's about twelve or fourteen of us on that trail,

421
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.279
and everybody.

422
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:34.920
Was in awe, yeah, of all this going on. And

423
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.119
you can see that you can see some of that vegetation,

424
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.759
the black spots that kind of like break it up

425
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.799
a little bit because this is this is being filmed

426
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.000
on quite hot on the.

427
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:54.839
Thermal, and so that means the stuff that's going to

428
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.480
be warmer is going to be more white on the

429
00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.960
third wall.

430
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.559
Correct, yeah, correct, the hot or the as you see,

431
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.880
it's brighter than the trees around it. Those trees are

432
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:06.960
still holding a little bit of heat residual heat in

433
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.079
the day, but he's a lot hotter than those trees.

434
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.480
Look at that Holy mackerel.

435
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.880
He just he didn't care. It seemed like he didn't care.

436
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.799
We were.

437
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.640
What do you guys use for a thermal?

438
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.200
Actually, that one rut there is being filmed with an

439
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:26.000
ex infrared.

440
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.200
Thermal, the best one yet.

441
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.400
And we've got several that we use, but this particular

442
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.200
one we like it because it actually uses your telephone

443
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.359
as the viewer m in your telephone. It's a really

444
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.839
good setup. And with this setup, multiple people can be

445
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:47.480
behind you and we'll see the viewer and what's what's

446
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.880
going on instead of just one person holding a monocular up.

447
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.279
Man, look at that right there. Oh yeah, it's so good. Guys.

448
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.519
We're gonna try to go back out tonight and see

449
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:00.960
what we can do it the same spot.

450
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.960
Okay, so we're we're getting to the point where it's

451
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.119
going to amp up a little. I mean, even right now,

452
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.200
is this crazy? But I remember at the end, it's like,

453
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:14.519
oh my goodness.

454
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.319
Yeah. And when he starts, when he starts moving around

455
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.440
a little bit more, I'm trying to get a better angle.

456
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.920
H I can see these dark spots in there through

457
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:28.359
this normal and I knowther trees, and he starts that

458
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.079
making his way that way right here. I'm starting to

459
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:33.359
try to get a little bit better angle to keep

460
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:41.160
him from going behind those trees on me. And yeah,

461
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:48.480
he's just easing over. You can see he's sort of

462
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.759
like looking at us there and.

463
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:55.839
Yeah, this time you can see legs, yep, legs and arms.

464
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.759
It's like he knows which way to walk off so

465
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:01.279
we can't.

466
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:03.200
That's his back back.

467
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.079
You can see his arm, you see his right arm.

468
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:08.240
That's his backyard. He knows everything that's in that thing,

469
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:09.960
and he knows exactly how to get away from us

470
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:10.960
and not be seen.

471
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.640
Oh my goodness, there's like.

472
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:16.400
This and now stay on it because then just a

473
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:20.039
woman he's raised up. Now, yeah, you're gonna pop out

474
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.160
on that right hand side of that tree for just

475
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.359
and that and that shoulder is gonna be a lot higher.

476
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:32.680
Okay, did it pomp out already?

477
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.359
H and give him just thinking when he gets back

478
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.599
over there to it bear.

479
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.480
No, No, he's done moved on.

480
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:44.160
Oh, he's like way way over.

481
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.039
Yeah.

482
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.480
And the way he walked was right behind that tree.

483
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.920
There's yeah, trees, there's some other foliage in there behind

484
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.759
that tree. He kept that between us and he just

485
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.920
eat his trackway actually kind of went straight out from

486
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.359
that point.

487
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:03.240
Yeah, my goodness. It's it's probably I've seen so much,

488
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.720
so so many different pieces of thermal footage, and it

489
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:09.680
is probably the best. Like I'm not even kidding. And

490
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.799
because it is so new, I don't think anybody knows

491
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.200
about it yet, because you guys just have it posted

492
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:17.519
on TikTok right now, right.

493
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.480
Right listed on our TikTok page and our Facebook page.

494
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.720
And I have one guy, so oh, that's just that's

495
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.079
just a.

496
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.559
Fire in the woods. And I'm said, I'm thinking of myself.

497
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.400
Apparently he didn't watch to.

498
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:36.440
Wow. So and then taking that in Okay. So then

499
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.000
the next day you go back to the area you're

500
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.039
finding what sixteen inch tracks?

501
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:44.839
You're saying, yes, wow, yeah, we found that.

502
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.200
We were looking at the therm and just making sure

503
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.720
we got in the right spot. And we found the

504
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.400
spot because you could see where you know, had been

505
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.400
standing Niel or whatever, because it was kind of stumped down,

506
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.519
you know some So yeah, it was so easy to

507
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:01.519
follow that track, that path.

508
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:05.440
Because I stayed up there. I get the video with me,

509
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:08.359
and I stayed right where I was filming it from.

510
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.799
And I said, Sheila and one of our other team

511
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:13.880
members down in there kind of drated them just a

512
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:16.359
little bit, you know, just put a little left rights

513
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:18.359
here and on. They won't right to it. And I said,

514
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:19.920
you're right there. They said, yep, we're a you're here.

515
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.640
You need to come down here. Yeah, yeah, my goodness.

516
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.839
And so this is is this in one of your

517
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.759
areas where you regularly go to in your exhibitions. That's cool, man,

518
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.680
I'm telling you, this is the year. I am totally

519
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:42.119
convinced this is the year there's so many crazy things

520
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:46.440
being captured and this is just like the newest wild

521
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:50.240
thing that's that's captured. Like, there's some really interesting things

522
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.640
and experiences people are having, and I think there's something

523
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.279
really crazy is going to happen. Man, I could this

524
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:58.119
is probably gonna be in TV shows in the future,

525
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.880
to be honest, guys, like, hope, hopefully you check your email,

526
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.160
they'll be.

527
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:05.519
Okay, can we can we play that?

528
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.759
There's been some really crazy stuff going I keep asking

529
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.599
everybody y'all think activity is picked up, because it's picked

530
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:13.640
up from what we've.

531
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.559
Seen, you know, with all the things not where you

532
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:21.039
were reporting on the the situation going on in Ohio and.

533
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.960
Yeah, well, and then we've had two recent sidings here around.

534
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.200
There was a day's siding between Jasper and Ilo J

535
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.519
men and woman driving right there on the main road

536
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.799
saw one and then another one cherry log.

537
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.880
There's been actually been quite a few in cherry logs.

538
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.400
There's been yeah, two good sightings and cherry Log two

539
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:43.400
between us and ja.

540
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:45.400
And it's just like they don't care anymore.

541
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:49.079
And the ones between us and Jasper in the daytime. Yeah,

542
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.079
that's a great way to put it. Actually, I think

543
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.400
that is a great way to put it, that they

544
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.559
don't care anymore. And I don't know why, but I

545
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:03.119
think that you're absolutely right that I don't know why

546
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.480
it is, but I think it's at the point where

547
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.720
it's like, yeah, maybe we're not going to try to

548
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.960
hide ourselves as much, right, you know.

549
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.119
Talking about the crazy things. It wasn't all that long ago.

550
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.079
You had asked us if we had ever experienced any

551
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.480
humming humming sound in the woods. You asked us that,

552
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:24.480
and at that point we hadn't. But when you asked

553
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.799
us that, I think it was like the next weekend, yeah,

554
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.640
because I message we backpacked into an area, a real

555
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.440
remote area and slipping hammocks for the weekend, myself, Sheila,

556
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.039
and two of our other team members, and we got

557
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.759
woke up in the middle of the night to this

558
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.720
humming sound, like right in the middle of our camp,

559
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:46.799
three of us did, and we're all looking for it,

560
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.400
and I'm shining a light and there is nothing there,

561
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:54.519
I mean, absolutely nothing. And so that was our first

562
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.599
experience of the humming that you had asked us about.

563
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:01.920
But that's not the crazy thing that, yeah, I mean,

564
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.960
in this place, we'd been wanting to do it for

565
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.559
a while, camp for a while, and we really thought

566
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.599
we would have like immense activity, right, But other than

567
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.400
the humming, we didn't have anything until Sunday morning. We

568
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.400
had loaded our gear and getting ready to hike back out.

569
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.039
When I tell you this was remote, It's not like

570
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.640
somebody would just go for Sunday stroll up there, you

571
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.720
know what I mean. And then all of a sudden,

572
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.920
this dude who looks a lot like the Rock Military

573
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:32.079
garb just strolls up there, just strolls up there, you know.

574
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.960
And then he comes back and he started talking, just

575
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.119
like he's meeting a new neighbor that's just moved in

576
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.720
next door, and he's just asking us anything going on.

577
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.920
We had anything happening. They were just looking at places

578
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.279
to do. What was it? They were jumping up helicopters,

579
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.319
pair jumps, yeah, and you know, we're telling no, we're

580
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:54.000
fixing to leave and blah blah blah. And we get

581
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.160
we finally get down to our cars and we go

582
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.599
to leave out and there's this whole.

583
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.960
Group of yeah, a whole group of them. But why

584
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.000
didn't they just drive up there? Why did they send

585
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:05.960
one dude up there? Just like he was just walking

586
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.319
around the block, you know what I mean? Do they

587
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:09.799
have a drone out there that night?

588
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.720
Did they expect so?

589
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.599
Do you think they were military or just yeah they

590
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.240
were military? No, they were yeah, outfits and everything.

591
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.319
But here's what we think.

592
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:24.119
Okay, we hiked in this place, and a week later

593
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:29.039
we found out that one of our members, she had

594
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.400
been videoing herself on the way up there, right, she

595
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.960
had the phone there and you could see because of

596
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.279
the rearview mirror, you could see what was behind her

597
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.000
clear's day, and I need to send you those pictures.

598
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.480
I wished I had seen them. She captures something standing

599
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:50.200
behind a tree twenty ears and this thing's huge. It

600
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.240
steps away from the tree and moves its arm.

601
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.920
I am not joking. She showed us this a week later.

602
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.079
Now, it's like less than a half a mile from

603
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.000
where we went in, walked in high and we're camping.

604
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:03.640
I wish I'd had known that then because I wouldn't

605
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:04.920
have been sleeping in a headache.

606
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.559
Yeah. Absolutely.

607
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.160
Do you think it was a dog man or.

608
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.799
Yeah, that's what would appears to be. Yeah. I posted

609
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.240
those pictures as well. But it's just.

610
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.680
Funny, how you know, we camped up there that weekend,

611
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:23.319
and then they showed up there that the next day

612
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.680
after or two days later after she filmed this video.

613
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:27.319
Was that a coincidence?

614
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:28.039
Yeah?

615
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:32.640
I don't think so. So the area where you guys

616
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:36.799
captured this thermal a few days ago, how close is

617
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.160
that to where let's say, you guys are setting up

618
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.680
camp and people are.

619
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:46.880
Not even half my oh my goodness.

620
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:49.200
Oh no, but we have them come into camp in.

621
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.759
Camp, we have got We were talking about the strangeness

622
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.240
and everything. There's a thing for us to tell you

623
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:00.519
about that. Also, we're actually the same exact area. We

624
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.920
had a gentleman that he was traveling a long distance

625
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:06.559
to come to the outing, and he had gotten in

626
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:08.079
contact with me and asked me if it would be

627
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.960
okay if he come a day early either and if

628
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:12.319
he couldn't have it, he's gonna spend the night in

629
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.079
the motel. Well, I hated for him, you know, just

630
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.279
spend all the money to spend the night in the motel.

631
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.960
I said, I said, well, just come on go with us,

632
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.000
you know, do you be there, hang out with us,

633
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.920
and nothing's really going to be going on as far

634
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.359
as us doing things other than us just sitting up camp.

635
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:31.160
So he shows up early and very very likable gentlemen.

636
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.319
We're all getting ready to bed down and a quartz

637
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.839
rock about the size of a softball comes flying in,

638
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:45.000
ricochets off of a tree, comes into camp. There's nobody

639
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.799
up here where we're going, you know, let alone can

640
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.920
throw a quart size rock like that. We walk over

641
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.200
and find the rock and everything, and he decides at

642
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:57.720
that point he's sleeping in a little one man tent

643
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.240
be inside. Nobody else is up there but us and

644
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.240
two of our other team members. He says, you know,

645
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.880
would you would it, body, y'all if I moved my

646
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.880
ten a little closer to y'all because he was good

647
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.239
ways away from us. Now We're like, no, not at all,

648
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.639
you know, and that you know that you're welcome to

649
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.119
So he moves it over close to our area, right

650
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:17.880
right beside us.

651
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.239
Old, yeah, I mean right on top of us.

652
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:24.880
Yeah, and uh. We get him all set up about

653
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.599
two o'clock two two thirty in the morning. We have

654
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.079
a standard thing that if anybody gets you know, spooped

655
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.360
up scared something comes in, you know, they're nervous, hit

656
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:38.480
their key fob on their vehicle, you know, set off

657
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.840
the panic alarm, and we'll all come out. You know,

658
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.599
one thing, that keyfob is gonna kind of scurry off

659
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.920
anything that's right there, hopefully, if not, nothing else is

660
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.679
going to lurt everybody else, and we'll all come out

661
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.880
and see what's going on. About two thirty that morning,

662
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.960
he hit that key fop and uh, I come out,

663
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.239
come flying out, like you know what's going on? And

664
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:03.480
he asked me, He said, hey, just by chance you

665
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:06.519
didn't walk under the cook tent over there and walk

666
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.400
around over there a little bit and then walk over

667
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.880
here towards my tent, did you? I was like no,

668
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:14.119
and I said I've been over and here sleep and

669
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:17.599
uh he says, well, he said something went over under

670
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:20.039
the cooked tent, messed around over there a little bit,

671
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.960
come over to my tent, rubbed his hand back in

672
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.800
his spect fight about a hand too, rubbed his hand

673
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.480
back and forth on my tent, and then started pushing

674
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:33.079
down on the top of my tenth. No, he flips

675
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.480
it in his little brain fly. He had it kicked

676
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.719
out enough, you know, ventilation purposes and all. He said,

677
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:40.599
I knew if I turned my light on this, I

678
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.280
can tell where it was standing, and I could see

679
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:46.000
it the bottom of it through that rain fly. So

680
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:48.639
he kicks his light on. It runs off down a

681
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:50.480
trail and he told me, he says, God, I can

682
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.079
tell you for sure this thing is running on two feet.

683
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.599
It's not a four legged critter running. Long story short,

684
00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:59.960
he winds up sleeping in his truck. The rest of them,

685
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.280
he's pretty well spooped up about that. And uh, he

686
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.199
attempted to sleep back in that tent again and was

687
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:09.159
unable to. He wound up sleeping in the truck because,

688
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.960
like I said, he had done got kind of spooped up.

689
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.400
Yeah, right, but we hadn't heard anything from him.

690
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.199
You know, I expected to, but I haven't heard anything

691
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:17.840
back from him.

692
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.480
Yet, which I would say nothing bad about him, because

693
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:23.719
I know some people listening and said, be like, well,

694
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:25.840
what you going all the way to Georgia and that

695
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.119
happens and blah blah blah blh. Guys, if you've never

696
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:32.400
been that situation, you react, you know.

697
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:34.639
Of your tent like that, especially if he goes to

698
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:37.760
rubbing and pushing in on it. Oh yeah, that's a

699
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.559
big difference.

700
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.559
Yeah, you know, it wasn't a raccoon or anything that

701
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:43.519
they're pushing on the top of.

702
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.920
It exactly, you know. And another thing we've had happened

703
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.880
here lately is actually our last expedition of last year,

704
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:53.639
our last season. We put that on and I had

705
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:57.760
three different people out of that outing yeah, come to me.

706
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.159
In the first one, he had his rain life beat

707
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.679
up real high and you could actually see in his tent.

708
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:06.480
And he come to me the next morning, he says, Scott,

709
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:09.360
and I ain't talk to you in private. I said, okay.

710
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:11.360
So he's off to the side and he's telling me,

711
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.280
he says. I don't know if I was dreaming or

712
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:18.320
what he says, But last night, he says, one of

713
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:21.199
these creatures come and squatted down at my rain fly

714
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.360
there and was looking at me through this mesh mesh

715
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.199
on my tent, he said. I looked over at him

716
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.840
and I seen him playing a day, he said. He

717
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.719
started pushing in on the mesh towards my head, he said,

718
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.039
And something must have happened because he as soon as

719
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.400
he got close to me, he stopped, backed up, stood

720
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.519
up and walked away. And as dark as it was,

721
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:46.239
he couldn't seem good when he walked away, I said, Okay,

722
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:48.440
I said, you know, I'm not discounting anything. You're saying

723
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.599
that's actually very possible. So I'm mieling around the camp there.

724
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:56.559
I have another person come to me tell me virtually

725
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.800
almost the same type story. They had something pushing in

726
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.119
on their tent towards.

727
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:04.719
Them, and it was like a head and sauce.

728
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.679
Holding rubbed up the back of her head.

729
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:10.440
Yep.

730
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.800
Well, you know, two people tells you something that that

731
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:16.199
kind of gets your interest up. Then it wasn't. Just

732
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:18.559
a few minutes later, I have a third person come

733
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:22.679
to me with a story very very similar to these two.

734
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:25.519
Now these people are not camp right beside each other.

735
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.800
I mean they're not tents lined right upside each other.

736
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:31.519
They're in like a triangle and far apart in different

737
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:34.480
parts of the camp. So it's the third one come

738
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.400
to me and told me their story about that. I said,

739
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.400
hang on a second, now I've got three there's something

740
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.079
to this. So I get all three of them together

741
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.800
and let them converse about it amongst themselves. Because they

742
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:48.039
didn't want to talk to no one else, you know,

743
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:50.639
they were afraid they were losing their marbles. And I

744
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:53.440
let them all talk together about it. That way, they knew,

745
00:38:53.719 --> 00:39:00.639
you know, they weren't totally crazy that and so they

746
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.760
all talked about it for a little while. And that

747
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.760
was a very very unique weekend. Also, there was a

748
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.360
lot of things going on with us that weekend.

749
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.960
So in that expedition, how many expeditioners did you have?

750
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.119
That one was a full house?

751
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:15.320
That was all of ten.

752
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:21.119
Yeah, okay, so we had three out of ten expeditioners

753
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:26.280
experience something like that. Those are crazy odds. Like if

754
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:27.960
that's wild, guys.

755
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:29.639
And that's what I said. You know, if one person

756
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.599
comes to you and tells you something like that, okay,

757
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:36.480
you I'm not discounting anything anyone tells me, but you know,

758
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.480
I take that into consideration, and I'm okay, just file

759
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.079
that one away. You have two come to you. Now

760
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.559
you're there's a little more something to do that when

761
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:48.320
you have three on the same one. And these people

762
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.199
have not talked to each other this morning that morning

763
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.559
because they were kind of they want to talk to

764
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.199
me specifically, they didn't want to talk to nobody else

765
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:59.920
about it. When you when you have three that come

766
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.679
to you with the same deal, that opens your eyes

767
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:04.719
of okay, there's something going on here. There's something that

768
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:05.719
something has happened.

769
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:10.880
Okay, so and let's say you know, over the last year,

770
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:16.199
are you getting then that there's To me, it kind

771
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:20.039
of feels like there's a real curiosity going on where

772
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.079
these things are checking you out for some.

773
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.880
Reason they are. And you know, we've, like I said

774
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.119
before me and we do this full time, all these

775
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.039
areas we're in constantly, and it's kind of like, you know,

776
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:40.559
they recognize us in a way, and it's with they

777
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:42.360
know we're not there to do them harm and things

778
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.480
like that, so they get more curious and come in

779
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.480
a lot better. And it doesn't always happen that every

780
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:51.559
expedition is about that way, don't you know. It's it's

781
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:55.639
not there. We do go on some outings where nothing happens,

782
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:57.440
I mean absolutely.

783
00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.960
And we were this past weekend. It was so cold

784
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.679
that Friday night the wind was blowing. I mean, it

785
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:05.920
was ridiculous to be that cold in May. So we're thinking,

786
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.119
I don't know if we're going to get any activity

787
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:10.719
it's just so cold or whatever. And then Saturday night

788
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:13.199
we go out and you know, everybody was just having

789
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:14.599
a good time blah blah blah.

790
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:18.360
And then that happens we pop up with thermal footage. Yeah,

791
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:21.079
thank goodness.

792
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.360
So after you know, you were able to definitely check

793
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.199
out the area, were you able to get any sense

794
00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:31.480
as to how tall or big what you captured on

795
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:33.199
thermal was or is that kind of tricky?

796
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.519
Kind of tricky on that especially thermal I go by

797
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.119
the foot track, yes, gauge gage by that. The only

798
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:44.119
thing we had really for measurement was track signs and

799
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.199
stride length.

800
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:47.840
The strides were between were about four and a half

801
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:51.679
foot parts, so it had to be I'm thinking in

802
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:56.559
my opinion, it was like a teenage you know, adolescent bigfoot,

803
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.239
younger one but yeah, a grown one, but you know,

804
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.480
not not one that's got a twenty foot twenty five

805
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:05.679
foot or twenty five inch I keep saying foot.

806
00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:11.400
Yeah, he hadn't made it that foot inch tract.

807
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:14.960
When you guys go out, are you doing anything in

808
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.599
particular to try to get interaction or what's your You

809
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:21.719
know some people will go out and they'll be you know,

810
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.400
hitting trees or call blasting or do you guys have

811
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.400
another type of doing things?

812
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:33.559
We can't let all secrets out now, have to do that.

813
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:37.039
I mean, we had the fire bunch that sits around

814
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.920
there and you're laughing and talking and it seems like

815
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:40.639
that's the draw.

816
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:42.760
And then when they go out, they're not trying to

817
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:43.519
be quiet.

818
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:47.480
Yes I was fixed and bring that up. But you know,

819
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.119
we show up on the area, we're not like hunters.

820
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.840
We're not trying to be stealthy. They already were there,

821
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.599
so we're not trying to be stealthy. We talk amongst ourselves,

822
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.760
We carry on convers sations that especially the ones around

823
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:04.360
the fire pit, they'll be laughing, you know, having a

824
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.440
good time cutting up. But as you're doing this, we're

825
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.400
always mindful of the little things. I mean, big things

826
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.920
are obvious, like tree breaks, limb limb braks, things like that.

827
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:19.400
Those are obvious, your howls. We're listening. We're paying attention

828
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:23.079
listening for that least little tweaks. Now that if you

829
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.760
can picture this in your mind, the hearing of it,

830
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.679
something brushing up against a fir tree. It makes a

831
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:32.239
pretty unique sound. Something a little like that, a little

832
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:35.719
bit of leaf crunching. That's it. That's what we're actually

833
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:40.639
paying attention to. And we also when on our hiking groups,

834
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:42.880
we have one guy that's in the back. You know,

835
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.320
he's mindful. He's facing forward so he can see everyone.

836
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:50.760
Plus he's watching, he's paying attention behind us. And we've

837
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.119
had this happen in the past where something gets thrown

838
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.960
at us from the right hand side. Well, everybody looks

839
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:59.000
to the right, you know, naturally, his job is not

840
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.400
to do that. He's looking to the left and behind us.

841
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.719
And we've actually picked a really good one off with

842
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.840
him doing that. He caught him, had something thrown from

843
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:12.199
the right. He thought one, not thirty five yards from

844
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:16.280
us to the left. Okay, you know little things like that,

845
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:23.480
being very very tuned in to what's going on around you.

846
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.000
Like for instance, when we walked in there Saturday night,

847
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.079
it was definitely quiet, and I kept comment I said,

848
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:32.599
it's so quiet, I mean nothing, and you could feel it,

849
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:34.519
you know what I'm talking. It wasn't the air wasn't light,

850
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.079
and you could feel it. You knew something was there

851
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.039
and then boom.

852
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:39.719
Yeah.

853
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:40.440
And I'm just.

854
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:48.119
When you experience that quietness, are you affected physically in

855
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:50.679
any ways that you can notice?

856
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:56.119
No, not really, other than once that quietness becomes like that,

857
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:58.079
I have a lot more laker.

858
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:03.400
Yeah, you know, your spighty senses is like something exactly that.

859
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.000
That's that's one of the things that keys me to

860
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.280
be I'm alert all the time anyway, but I've become

861
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:11.039
overly alert. Then when it gets so quiet like that.

862
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:13.400
Well, these jokers up here, like they like to throw

863
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.760
little rocks. That's the one thing they do. We got

864
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.039
some they throw things up here. I mean that ain't

865
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:19.400
no joke.

866
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:24.480
Okay. So they're throwing rocks at you, yeah, right, uh.

867
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:26.679
And it's not like they're throwing them at us, they're

868
00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:29.960
throwing them in our generalized direction. They want they could.

869
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:31.920
I think they're saying dance mons.

870
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:35.199
To dance right right right, yeah, exactly.

871
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.280
A little bit. And some of that has to get

872
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.840
your attention, you know, because something on the other side

873
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:41.719
of you needs to move. You're getting close to it.

874
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:43.719
They're just trying to get your attention over here so

875
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.360
it can right.

876
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:52.519
I would guess there haven't been any aggressive interactions with

877
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:54.440
you guys though probably.

878
00:45:55.239 --> 00:46:00.639
Well, well we have when it's just been us, uh interesting,

879
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:03.559
we will tend to push that envelope a little further

880
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:06.440
than what we need to. But we don't do that

881
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.079
with the folks that are going with us. That's just

882
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:10.280
when it's just our grew.

883
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:13.800
Me and Scott had went in that same well, close

884
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:16.639
to that same location as the therm, just a little

885
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:19.199
bit off, and we were We went out there to

886
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:22.480
put audio up and we were in pretty good and

887
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.199
I kept hearing something and I said, stop.

888
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:26.559
Listen, do you hear this off to a rite?

889
00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:30.159
You know. He finally heard it and it sounded like

890
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.199
like if you're at the zoo in front of the

891
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:36.639
what is it silver back? Then it was like and

892
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.480
it kept like pumping itself up.

893
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:41.199
It was getting harder and hard you know as it went.

894
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:43.360
Yeah, like we wasn't we didn't need to be there.

895
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:46.239
So we did get the audio up and it was

896
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:48.639
a couple of days later we went back to retrieve

897
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.000
the audio. We had two friends with us at the time,

898
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:55.159
and my girlfriend and I sat by the fire, which

899
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:59.079
was in the wood still, but Scott and another friend

900
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.760
had to walk back other to get the audio. Well,

901
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.719
she and I were sitting there around the fire and

902
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:08.760
I kept hearing like a guttural growl. I had audio running,

903
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:13.519
so usually you know, i'll carry in the woods, mainly

904
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:15.599
because of wild hogs, but I was so nervous.

905
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:17.599
Yeah, I made sure that was really close.

906
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:22.320
I recorded it was twelve or thirteen, I can't remember exactly,

907
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:26.599
guttural growls coming closer to where she and I were.

908
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:29.400
I mean, I never heard anything like that, but it

909
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:33.800
didn't it didn't sound like it was warm and fuzzy.

910
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:35.639
She tried to call me, and we happen to have

911
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:39.360
cell service in that area, and she called me and

912
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:41.360
she said, are you hearing this? And I said, well, well,

913
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:43.119
I've heard it was a whoop while we were down

914
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.880
in here. And she said, you need to get on

915
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:48.440
back up here to the firing area. She says, there's

916
00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:51.159
something going on up here. Yeah, So we hustle on back.

917
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:53.119
By the time we get back, you know, nothing that

918
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:56.880
has happened anymore. But the audio is running. So when

919
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.840
we get home that night, I run it through uh

920
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.159
audacity and I'm checking it out, and it was fourteen.

921
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:03.840
It's fourteen.

922
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:08.119
Actually, she had fourteen of these growls coming towards us

923
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:11.159
in secession. And when you're listening to it on the audio,

924
00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:14.280
you can tell that it's getting closer and closer, and

925
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:18.639
the loudness and the intensity is getting more. And after

926
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:21.920
the fourteenth growl, probably a second two seconds after that

927
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:23.800
growl the prettiest whoop you ever want to hear.

928
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:27.000
Yeah, yeah, that's really cool.

929
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:30.280
Do you do?

930
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.199
You nerd out and look at the spectro in audacity

931
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:37.360
and all that. Yeah, that's cool. So you know, like

932
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:38.920
what a what a whoop looks like?

933
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:39.880
Right?

934
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.039
Yeah, you got it? That's really cool.

935
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.599
Yeah, and you know, and there's a there's a and

936
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.079
you know about this one already. We've been bluff charged before,

937
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.400
having sense thank goodness, having a sense thank goodness. And

938
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:54.719
we were in the out in land between the lakes.

939
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:57.440
You know, we frequent that as much as we possibly can.

940
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:00.639
And we were out there with the all Us Beast

941
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.960
group one time and we have these orbits and things

942
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.800
and it kind of looked one ordeal kind of looked

943
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.079
like a little bit of a tree peaker. So one

944
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.719
of our team members, Nathan Robinson, he had all this

945
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:19.119
on thermal and me and another team member we walk

946
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:20.679
out to get this thing to flush, you know, to

947
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.000
move out, and to move out and walk away so

948
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:26.000
everybody can see it. Somebody said I wouldn't walk out there,

949
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:27.760
and I said, well, he sure ain't gonna move if

950
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.320
we don't, you know, approach him a little bit and

951
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.280
that's the thing I'm telling you. You know, I don't

952
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:37.280
suggest anyone do that by no means, because that was

953
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:39.000
all good sideways on you pretty quick.

954
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:42.679
And we have we have not told him about our poredom.

955
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.679
We will say, oh boy from me and the other

956
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:49.199
team member when we get out there. Nathan cost to

957
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.519
me and tells me. He says, god, hey, I've lost

958
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.239
this thing on thermal. About the time he tells us

959
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.360
that a stick comes flying through the woods and you

960
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.159
can hear whis slim when it comes. It goes right

961
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:01.559
between me and the other team member. I looked at him,

962
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:03.639
I said that that's our invitation that we have worn

963
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:08.719
out our welcome. And we did. We used on out

964
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:10.199
of there and let that be.

965
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:14.159
When was have we out there? Was January? We were

966
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:18.400
out in this past January. It was me, Scott h Mark.

967
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:25.079
Nuble and another team member and then Scott and Scott

968
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:28.800
Tolbert is deep into paranormal. He's done it for like

969
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:33.000
twenty four years now. So we're at a crossroads there

970
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:38.679
and Scott is running the spirit box right. I don't

971
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:41.320
know if you've ever spirit box is running.

972
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:42.920
I know what it is.

973
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.000
But you want your attention to get on out there

974
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:50.039
because he has never heard He said this come across

975
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.119
the spirit box before, and it was said dog Man,

976
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:53.719
dog Man, portal.

977
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:58.800
Werewolf, It said Mark's name, it said mine, said Sheila,

978
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.480
and then it said kill her. So you can imagine

979
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:02.960
I was ready to go a little bit of them.

980
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:07.800
But on therm, one of the other team members, he's

981
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.519
running his thermal one and he catches something over on

982
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:12.719
a tree and this is about eight foot up the tree.

983
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:17.920
It's a perfect square, but it's shimmering and it's i

984
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:21.440
mean very shimmery, about like a neon sign going. And

985
00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:23.039
I'm looking at it through the thermal and I says,

986
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:24.679
you know what, I said, that might be one of

987
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:27.519
those metal forest signs or some sign up there, and

988
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.360
that it's messing with thermal a little bit. So I

989
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.280
walk over to it, take them a super bright white

990
00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:35.400
light and I put all over that tree. There's nothing

991
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.559
on that tree, and he calls to me and says,

992
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:41.599
you need to hustle on back over here. This thing

993
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:45.119
just did something. I'm thinking myself, well, what's a perfect

994
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:48.239
square already done? I get back over there. This square

995
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:52.519
has changed. It elongated up that tree and then while

996
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:56.440
I'm standing there watching it, he has the thought process

997
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:03.599
to go in and hit the record and uh it

998
00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:06.519
from it comes from being elongated up the tree back

999
00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:10.159
down into a perfect square and leaves a heat signature

1000
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:13.119
on the tree. Well, and this happened as soon as

1001
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:16.599
that part happened right in behind the tree. When you're

1002
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:19.840
watching that video, you can see something moving around in

1003
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:23.440
behind right in mind. I mean it's like a head

1004
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:26.119
and shoulders that you're watching move around in there.

1005
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:28.440
Yeah, it was. That was the craziest night. And you

1006
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.239
could feel it like there was something ominous there.

1007
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:35.760
It was like the like everything was heavy that night.

1008
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.199
Is that stuff on your TikTok?

1009
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:38.159
Yes?

1010
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:39.880
Actually it is, okay cool.

1011
00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:42.599
We went back a couple it's probably been about a

1012
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:43.800
month ago to the same spot.

1013
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:47.360
Nothing like that happened, and specific went back to that

1014
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:51.440
spot specifically to check that particular tree out to see

1015
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:56.239
if anything was there. And there's nothing there, I mean, nothing, shimery, nothing.

1016
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.719
And that video has been own to a couple of

1017
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:04.480
different people and the minute, the minute they see it,

1018
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:05.840
they say, oh, that's a portal.

1019
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:07.000
Mm hmmm.

1020
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.159
It looks like a fluorescent light like you would say

1021
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:11.800
at a convenience store, you know what I mean.

1022
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:16.159
Just going around Yep, my goodness. Do you have any

1023
00:53:16.199 --> 00:53:19.400
ideas about uh, you know, talking about your areas in

1024
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:27.000
Northwest Georgia about do you feel like there's certain parts

1025
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:32.400
of Northwest Georgia that are more you know, Bigfoot dog

1026
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:35.400
Man for some reason, or do you think just the

1027
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:39.800
whole the whole North North Georgia for some reason is

1028
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:40.719
just weird.

1029
00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:45.800
Well, there's a good portion of it in all of

1030
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:53.440
North Georgia. We run a we run our area, pretty

1031
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:58.440
large area, I'd say, and I'll out and say, we

1032
00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:00.679
run our area from l J all over to Canton.

1033
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:10.039
I'm not camping, excuse me, Cleveland. We run our area

1034
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:11.639
all the way from l J all the way over

1035
00:54:11.679 --> 00:54:16.280
to Clayton, Georgia. And that's a pretty big area. But

1036
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:20.320
it's uh, but all of North Georgia has potential.

1037
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:24.480
I think all activity from the area from North Georgia,

1038
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:26.280
and like I said, we go to the LBL A lot.

1039
00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:29.920
Activity has picked up. But not just with big Foot.

1040
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:33.519
It's some things that we we have not got into

1041
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:35.800
that all of a sudden that is coming.

1042
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:40.519
Out this really yes, like like what kind of stuff.

1043
00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:46.480
You ever heard of a rake. You got that stuff, well,

1044
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.800
not around here where we're at. But so far, so far.

1045
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:51.440
I don't want that.

1046
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:52.800
No, I don't either.

1047
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.239
We know of one group that had an incident in

1048
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:00.239
the l b A with them that the young lady

1049
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.119
hit it with bare spray and detrored it after it

1050
00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:06.239
was charging. Yeah, while it was while it was in

1051
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:12.039
process of charging them. We were there, Wow, were there.

1052
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:17.320
We were there and we were out with monsters on

1053
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:19.559
lease Master's unleashed. They had carried us to an area

1054
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.559
where they had filmed uh encounter with a dog man.

1055
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:28.639
In that timeframe we were there. We had one come

1056
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:33.039
down from a tree, approached us and then it turned

1057
00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:35.519
run off, but it got sold.

1058
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:37.280
By two different people. I was done then.

1059
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:38.760
So you saw it.

1060
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:40.880
We did not saw it.

1061
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:45.360
It was trashed with monsters unleashed at a mark scirlfriend, Tiffany,

1062
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:47.880
And I'm telling you this was a different.

1063
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:50.000
Area we'd never been. It was dark, dark, dark, one

1064
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:51.079
way in, one way out.

1065
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:55.880
Yeah, there's one of them things that we really weren't

1066
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:58.559
expecting a whole lot or anything. The only lights we

1067
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.639
had on the place was the cab lights off the

1068
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:05.039
back of one truck that was it and I had

1069
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:07.960
just shut my thermal off. I probably had to show

1070
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:11.400
that thermal off fifteen seconds when all this started happening.

1071
00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:14.480
Yeah, and you can hear we now we've heard something

1072
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:16.960
coming down off of the tree, because I mean the

1073
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.360
tree was right there. And then she starts freaking out saying,

1074
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:24.480
she said, oh wow wow when she's backing up. I mean,

1075
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.039
if she if she was faking, she totally deserves some

1076
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.360
kind of award. And then Tiffany saw it as well.

1077
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:32.719
Yeah, Tiffany saw as well. There wasn't no thinking about

1078
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:36.159
it here. I'm trying not to drop my thermal. I'm

1079
00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:37.920
trying to pull a flapslight out of my proper so

1080
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:42.000
I could see something and uh, it was a catastrophe

1081
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:42.800
there for just a second.

1082
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:45.440
Yeah, that that was very intense.

1083
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:55.039
That's some wild We were all back. I don't know

1084
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:55.639
how it handled.

1085
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:58.239
Do you hear more? You hear more than do you?

1086
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.519
Do you think activity is picking up from Do you

1087
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:06.840
think activity really has picked up from Bigfoot to all

1088
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:07.920
the other different things?

1089
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:10.840
And I'll and it is. So I try to base

1090
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:13.719
a lot of this off of stuff that happens to me.

1091
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:17.119
And I haven't.

1092
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:23.079
I mean, the first the first Tennessee. Stuff will will

1093
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:26.199
come out. Well, it'll be right before this episode, so

1094
00:57:26.239 --> 00:57:30.760
people have seen it. But guys, I I man, I

1095
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:33.719
had stuff happened in Tennessee that I've never experienced any

1096
00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:37.440
I mean, I had. We were surrounded by orbs on

1097
00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:41.079
top of mountain. They weren't they weren't bugs because we

1098
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:46.119
were shining our lights. There was nothing there. I heard.

1099
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:50.199
I was out in the woods by myself on an

1100
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:55.280
expedition in middle Tennessee. I heard a voice say, come here,

1101
00:57:56.199 --> 00:57:59.920
freaked out. And then the next day in my cabin,

1102
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.599
I was almost asleep and I heard a voice say,

1103
00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.639
got you. And then I was like, I'm out of here.

1104
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:10.519
Like I'm out of here. I So, I don't know,

1105
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:14.559
like things are getting really crazy guys, and like me

1106
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:18.440
and Robbie Farrell got I mean, I don't know if

1107
00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:21.400
i'd call it a full bluff charge, but something rushed

1108
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:26.119
at us through the Laurel bushes in the Smokies in

1109
00:58:26.239 --> 00:58:28.480
Harley's area where they got chased out.

1110
00:58:29.320 --> 00:58:32.079
When that happened all those Laurel did you get to

1111
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:33.599
see the laurels open up a little bit?

1112
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:35.199
No?

1113
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:40.599
I was not in the right type of mind to observe.

1114
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:45.719
You can see them, Laurels.

1115
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:50.679
Oh, man, I can't imagine that. So I will say

1116
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:54.119
I think things are getting crazier big time. That's just

1117
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:56.480
from personal stuff and like the stuff I'm hearing. Yeah,

1118
00:58:56.719 --> 00:59:01.559
it's it's definitely getting crazier. So I don't know. We'll see,

1119
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.880
we'll see what happens next. But you guys are right

1120
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:08.039
in the thick of it. And man, I mean it

1121
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:11.119
as I've said, it is on I kind of have

1122
00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:15.840
a list for the next five years, and Northern Georgia's

1123
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:19.039
is on the list. But the cool thing is that

1124
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:21.239
you guys, you know, as we said, you do have

1125
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:31.440
the multiple, the multiple multiple expeditions different times of the year,

1126
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:33.360
and you guys don't really have like a fire season

1127
00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:35.519
down there. It's not like the Pacific Northwest, right.

1128
00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.800
No, it's not. This matter of fact though, this last

1129
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.440
expedition we had, we were under a fireman here, soas

1130
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:46.360
Southeast Georgia is down there burning pretty heavily, so you know,

1131
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:49.239
the Forester Service and everything, they're a little age about

1132
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:49.840
fire right.

1133
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:56.920
Now, gotcha, crazy, It totally makes sense. So this will

1134
00:59:56.960 --> 01:00:03.239
be so really and this is depending on how sign

1135
01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:07.440
ups go before this is out, but you'll have probably

1136
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:12.920
June in the octobers if you guys want to reserve

1137
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:16.960
a spot to check out this for yourself. In this

1138
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.239
one of the areas that Scott and Sheila have, which

1139
01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:25.239
is pretty pretty cool. Guys, it has been really fun

1140
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:29.400
talking to you. It's it's exciting to hear that things

1141
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:34.039
are still happening in your areas. And probably even I

1142
01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:37.519
mean you're getting stuff, you're getting actual evidence. Yeah, you're

1143
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.920
probably getting I would say it's probably some of the

1144
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:43.199
it's the best thermal evidence I've ever said. That might

1145
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:46.079
get some people riled up, but I don't care.

1146
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:46.400
It is.

1147
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:54.000
You can see it for yourself, but that's right, Yeah,

1148
01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:57.800
make your own determination. But but yeah, guys, thank you

1149
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.920
so much for coming on the show. Is I want

1150
01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:03.719
to make sure that you were able to share everything

1151
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:06.880
that you'd come to the show to share today. And

1152
01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:10.360
also you know, how are ways that people can reach

1153
01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:14.039
out if they want to share stuff to you about

1154
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:17.440
the area or to try to get set up for exhibition.

1155
01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:21.639
Yeah, our phone numbers are right there on this. I

1156
01:01:21.639 --> 01:01:24.079
mean you can either call or text or you know,

1157
01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:28.960
email us at squatch Fishing at yahoo dot com. But

1158
01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:32.400
the majority of our stuff has done on TikTok and

1159
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:34.159
then of course we have a Facebook page any of

1160
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:34.480
you two.

1161
01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:40.960
And the calling and texting is actually the easiest because

1162
01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:43.960
there's gonna come a time when we're gonna need phone

1163
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:47.400
numbers and everything anyway, so both those times, both those

1164
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:50.199
ways are best. Just cut out that middle park.

1165
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:53.360
Yeah, and we'll be at a couple of conferences this year,

1166
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:54.960
so hopefully we meet some more new people.

1167
01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:59.039
Yeah, and we'll be speaking in Pennsylvania Forest, New Forest.

1168
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:01.960
And it was Forvirginia, West Virginia and you are in

1169
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:03.320
North Carolina right.

1170
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:06.159
Oh wow, so you guys are getting around too. So

1171
01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.960
is that the big the big one in West Virginia.

1172
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:15.480
Yes, I'm excited about that.

1173
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:18.039
That's a great one. Anybody that gets opportunity to go there,

1174
01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:19.239
they need to check that one out.

1175
01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:22.320
Oh, when I forgot, We're going to be at Cornwallace

1176
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:27.320
eighteen twenty eight and uh black I'm a Black Belt

1177
01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:31.159
region of Alabama all weekend doing an expedition there.

1178
01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:33.119
So we're excited about that one too.

1179
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:37.320
And that one is going to be October second and third.

1180
01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:42.039
To sign up on that, people need to contact Cornwallace

1181
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:45.559
eighteen twenty eight. It's really easy. Fine, we have flyers

1182
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.159
on our Facebook page and on our TikTok page for that.

1183
01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:52.159
And he's doing a raffle for two people for that

1184
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:55.599
expedition that weekend too, so that's something nice.

1185
01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:58.960
Yeah, there you go. That's that's cool. There's a few

1186
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:03.800
different places in now Adama that would be great expedition areas,

1187
01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:07.239
so that's cool. But guys, thank you so much for

1193
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:23.639
Absolutely.

1194
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:26.920
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1195
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:30.119
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

1196
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:33.079
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1197
01:03:33.079 --> 01:03:37.639
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

1198
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:41.239
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

1199
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:46.199
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

1200
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:49.880
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

1201
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:54.079
even better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll

1202
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:56.800
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

1203
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:02.320
probably I'll say this, there may be stuff you haven't

1204
01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:08.559
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

1205
01:04:08.679 --> 01:04:10.639
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

1206
01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.440
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can

1209
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:26.840
not only go to the festival, but you can also

sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

1211
01:04:34.519 --> 01:04:39.199
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot spots

1212
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:43.159

1213
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:46.840
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

1214
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.079
for the next chapter in his documentary series, which is

1215
01:04:50.239 --> 01:04:53.199
Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in lifetime deal.

1216
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:56.440

thanks to Priscilla for giving me that code so that

1224
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:33.360
at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can talk

1225
01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:35.800
about your encounter. Was able to talk to so many

1226
01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:39.440
people last year and the year before. It is an

1227
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.119
incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

1228
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:46.880
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

1229
01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:49.519
I want to say something directly to a very specific

1230
01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:53.039
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

1231
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.039
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

1232
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:59.239
can explain, or if you're a National Park ranger of

1233
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:02.800
four street worker who's been told to stay quiet, if

1234
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:06.400
you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

1235
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:09.559
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

1236
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:13.159
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

1237
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:16.199
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic or

1238
01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:19.840
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

1239
01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:23.000
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

1240
01:06:23.960 --> 01:06:26.880
on a remote oil field or a trucker with government

1241
01:06:26.920 --> 01:06:30.559
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

1242
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:34.239
a soul, And if you're a biologist a wildlife specialist

1243
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:37.800
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

1244
01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:41.559
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

1245
01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:44.840
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

1246
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:48.679
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

1247
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:52.239
NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the

1248
01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:56.920
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

1249
01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:02.000
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

1250
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:05.119
at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear what

1251
01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:09.599
you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.

1252
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:15.000
You've got the story, We've got the mic. See you

1253
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:17.519
in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode

1255
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:23.360
us that the world is bigger and stranger than we think,

1256
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.320

1257
01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:29.599
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
