with the show. All right, Big for Society've got the

24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.359
privilege of talking to Tom Shean today. He's a bigfoot

25
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.519
researcher originally from New England, but now he's based out

26
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.319
of North Carolina, and Tom, I've been wanting to get

27
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.359
you on the show for quite a while, but we're

28
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.280
finally here and it's a pleasure to have you on tonight.

29
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:38.920
How's it going.

30
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.159
It is going just great, Jeremiah, and thank you so much,

31
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.400
and I am thrilled to be here with you.

32
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.640
Absolutely. We were talking before we started recording that it

33
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.000
is a special treat for me to be able to

34
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.400
talk to someone who was originally from Massachusetts as myself

35
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.560
and also a bigfoot researcher. There's not it's hard to

36
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.680
get those guys on the show. So when you're able

37
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.920
to get those guys on the show, it is a

38
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.960
real treat. So we'll definitely have some fun things to

39
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.960
talk about. But Tom, let's start at the beginning. What

40
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.039
was it that got you into this crazy bigfoot world

41
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:20.719
to begin with?

42
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.039
All right, Well, first of all, start up with my age.

43
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.599
I was born in the mid sixties, so I'm like

44
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.120
a og gen X, And so I grew up watching

45
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.879
Star Trek reruns in the seventies and into sci fi UFOs,

46
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.439
ghosts and all that weird paranormal stuff because it was

47
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.319
just fascinating to me. He was like, Yeah, this is exciting.

48
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.680
The real world is boring. This is exciting. In the seventies,

49
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.960
we all remember, well, not at all, but I'm sure

50
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.120
most of us remember. Leondard Nimoy had a program called

51
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.759
In Search of and he covered like a lots monster

52
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.199
UFOs and disappearances, and he also covered Bigfoot. And I

53
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.759
remember watching that show, you know, Beyond Afternoon after school

54
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.879
and I'd say, oh wow. And I saw Patty for

55
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.240
the first time, the Patterson Gimmlin film, and I said,

56
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.240
that is real. I saw that and I said, that

57
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.759
is real. There's no way it's anything else but a real,

58
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.319
actual Bigfoot. And so I grew up that way, you know,

59
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.840
that kind of you know, thinking about what people call

60
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.039
the paranormal or not outside of the realm of the usual.

61
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.080
And as I got older, it is okay, this is cool.

62
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:48.039
That the Internet came along in the nineties, and by

63
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.560
the two thousands there was a lot of stuff on

64
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.199
the Internet about Bigfoot. It was one thing I as

65
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.919
a kid, I'd go to library all the time and

66
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.479
read what I could about Bigfoot and other things. But

67
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.439
you know, once the Internet really exploded with information, it's

68
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.680
like wow, It's like kid in the candy store. And

69
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.159
in the early two thousands I was able to network

70
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.080
with other people interested in Bigfoot and we formed a

71
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.040
group called NESRA, and that's any SRA, the Northeast Sasquatch

72
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.800
Researchers Association. And this is sometime around two thousand and four,

73
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.720
two thousand and five SEA. I don't even remember the

74
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.959
exact date, but I was really excited about this. There

75
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.319
were five of us originally who founded it. We had

76
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.319
a big meeting in Connecticut and we all got together

77
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.000
and said, Okay, this is what we're going to be,

78
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.199
this is what we're going to do. And then we

79
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.879
started doing our own little expeditions. We'd go to places

80
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:49.199
in New York, Vermont, they went to New Jersey. I

81
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.879
didn't get to go out those, but I heard those

82
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.040
were great. I think they did a virginuine list because

83
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.519
we ended up eventually with members from all over the

84
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.639
East Coast, up and down the East Coast and even

85
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.240
towards the Midwest, and we are going to gang Busters

86
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.000
for a while there. In fact, at one point we

87
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.759
were approached by the History Channel and their show Monster Quest.

88
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.000
They wanted to come on an expedition with us to

89
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.439
Whitehall because they were doing a special about the white

90
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.920
Hall incidents that involved police officers. They actually had the

91
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.920
original witnesses, police officers and the towns people who lived

92
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.720
in the white Hall area who had these encounters. So

93
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.800
while they were doing that, and by the way, in

94
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.720
this episode is called Bigfoot in New York. Anyone can

95
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.000
go on YouTube and you can see the complete episode.

96
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.879
Just type in Bigfoot in New York. It should come up.

97
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.480
That's about forty five minutes long or so. And it

98
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:51.759
was a really great, really great experience. They intermingle our investigation,

99
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.959
our lot, well not live but live for us, with

100
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.879
the witnesses, the eyewitness accounts from the seventies when this

101
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.759
originally happened. And yeah, it's a really good it's a

102
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.800
really good episode. So anyway, now, before that though, right

103
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.920
when we found anestra, I start, I was looking up Okay, Bigfoot,

104
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.160
you know, the Pacific Northwest, the California, Canada, and no

105
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.120
Bigfoot is everywhere. I found stories about something called the

106
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.360
Winstead wild Man, and that Winstead is in northwestern Connecticut.

107
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.680
It's up in the mountainous areas they're called the Northwest

108
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.040
Hills of Connecticut, which are if you look at a

109
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.199
topographical map of the United States, especially the northeast, you

110
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.399
go see the green Mountains of Vermont, very rugged, you know,

111
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.680
the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains. Of course, when

112
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.120
I'm down in North Carolina, I have to say the

113
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.720
Appalachian Mountains. But they stand through western Massachusetts and down

114
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.920
into Connecticut where they pretty much tapeer off in Connecticut.

115
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.040
But that's all one big, long, continuous mountain range. And

116
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.720
Winstead is near the southern end of these mountains. And

117
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.720
the original story of the Winstead wild Man goes back

118
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.079
to eighteen eighteen ninety five, I believe who the year was,

119
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:22.639
And the story goes something like this, A a town

120
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:30.079
councilman from Winstead was walking his dog, a bulldog, through

121
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.879
blueberries anyway, some kind of berry patch, and he encountered

122
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.319
a man. He called it a man was covered with

123
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.720
hair with black hair. He had long hair along his

124
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.160
shoulders and his whole body's covered hair, and he was

125
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.839
very strong, and Brownie said he wouldn't an ordinary man

126
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.720
would not stand a chance against him, and that his

127
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.920
dog became very scared, ran between his legs, the on whimpering,

128
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.600
and all classic bigfoot descriptions basically what it is. But

129
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.040
back then they called them a wild man. And he

130
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.040
said it was about six feet tall, but you know

131
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:10.319
that could be a juvenile. And this this started a

132
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.560
little frenzy in that area. Oh it on, said wild man.

133
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.959
Then more stories other people said yeah, I saw them too,

134
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.800
and soon they started. The tale started getting a little

135
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.079
blown out of proportion. But the original encounter, the original story,

136
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.480
is the most important one and in my eyes and

137
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.959
in many others, what he did he had an encounter

138
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.000
with a big foot. Now we move along up to

139
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.360
the seventies. In the seventy two, there's a story from

140
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.600
the Hartford Current that some people saw a strange manlike

141
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.320
creature across a pond or a crystal lake reservoir that's

142
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:48.000
called so they walked upright and finally disappeared into the woods,

143
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.639
eight feet tall, covered with hair, And it sounds like

144
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.360
another Bigfoot to me. And two years later, in nineteen

145
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.120
seventy four, the wild Man was seen again, this time

146
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.159
by two couples who'd been parked at night. If I

147
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.440
a rugg Brook reservoir described the police being terrified by

148
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.000
seeing a six foot, three hundred pound creature. So that's

149
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.000
kind of fat covered with dark colored hair in the moonlight,

150
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.840
and fled the area immediately. So that just sounds like

151
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.279
all Bigfoot activity to me. So looking into that, I said, wow,

152
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.799
there is an area right near where I live in Springfield,

153
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:32.399
Massachusetts that I can drive to and who knows, you

154
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.639
see what's out there? You know, sounds like a good

155
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.519
place to do some investigating. So I'm new to this,

156
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.879
I said, I will take a drive out there. So

157
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.360
I jump in my car, take a drive out to

158
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.799
I decided I'm going to a state forest in the

159
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:53.519
Winston area called the American Legion State Forest. They have that,

160
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.440
and right across the road is another one called the

161
00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:00.200
People's State Forest. This is very rugged forested terrain, I said.

162
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.919
You know, as I got out there, I said, wow,

163
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:07.039
I can see Bigfoot being here. So what I did

164
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.080
was I drove down There's just one road an American Legion.

165
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.399
It's called Legion Road. I drove my car all the

166
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.080
way down to the very end of the road, which

167
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:18.919
is good, you know, at least a mile and a

168
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.879
half into the into the forest, and when you get

169
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.639
to the end, there's actually a culvert that you have

170
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.799
to cross, and sometimes it's washed out. I was able

171
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.919
to drive down all the way to the end, and

172
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.480
it's very swampy and marshy down there. So I parked

173
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.279
my car, got out, and you know, I was just

174
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.039
looking around, said oh, that this might be a good

175
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.559
spot for our brand new group NESRA to come, you know,

176
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.639
do a little exploring, a little research. So as I'm

177
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.840
standing there outside of my car, I'm looking around and

178
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.759
then I hear I would swear I heard some slight

179
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.240
rustling in woods to my right. You know, I'm at

180
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.159
the end of the dead end road. I'm looking towards

181
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.240
the end of the road, so the Russians is to

182
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.320
my right. Oh and by the way, I don't have

183
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.639
it now, but I will be going down there in

184
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.879
a couple of days since I'm in I'm in Connecticut

185
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.600
right now, I'm going to go back to the exact

186
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.519
same area and I'm gonna take a video of the

187
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.799
entire place put it up on my YouTube channel, so

188
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.000
any listeners who want to see what are exactly I'm

189
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.039
talking about can go see the video on my channel

190
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.720
later on. So anyway, I'm looking around here the noise,

191
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.120
there's something in there. So I started walking into the woods,

192
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.440
and as I get in there, I don't see anything

193
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.000
like moving, but I see impressions, very large impressions in

194
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.440
the ground. And it is this ground you know where

195
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.080
it's kind of like a peat moss I think it is.

196
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.720
It's like very spongy, it's got moss growing all over it.

197
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.519
So you step on it and it's a little springy.

198
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.639
But whatever this was, it like sunk into it and

199
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.360
made some really big, deep impressions. Now, it wasn't an

200
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:10.360
actual the classic big foot where okay, there's it looks

201
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.960
like a humid foot and there's five toes. It was

202
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.759
more like just the general shape because the nature of

203
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.240
the medium that it was stepping in. But it was

204
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.320
definitely big whatever it was, So I that's wow. And

205
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.440
then I look, Okay, when you see one, the first

206
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.679
thing is okay, I'm gonna look for like a trackway

207
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.840
was there a step behind it? Is there a step

208
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.600
you know, beyond it? And I looked in yeah, sure enough,

209
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.799
it looked like there was a step here or step there,

210
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.000
and they were pretty far apart. They're like five feet apart.

211
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.879
The actual impression I measured it was about fourteen inches

212
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:49.080
long about six inches wide. So all right, so I'm

213
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.559
following these which looked like, okay, this is the heel

214
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.440
end and that it will be the toe end. I'm

215
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.080
and I'm walking in that general direction. I hear more

216
00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:00.919
rustling in the woods ahead of me, and thinking, okay,

217
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.799
this is like right there, there's something here, is right

218
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.120
up there in front of me, but the growth of

219
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.919
the force is taking up where I really couldn't see

220
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.440
much more than maybe twenty to thirty feet in front

221
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.039
of me. So whatever this was was beyond that where

222
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.080
I really couldn't see anything, but I heard the rustling.

223
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.720
So I decided to know what I want to do

224
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.399
with a wood knock, and we all know what a

225
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.720
wood knock is. But I didn't have anything with me.

226
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.000
I I didn't see anything near me I could use,

227
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.120
so I did something else. I do what's I call

228
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.519
it a hand pop And some of you might know

229
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.559
what I'm talking about. But if you take your hands

230
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.600
and you make them like a cup shape where you

231
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.840
put the two together, and then you open your mouth

232
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.279
like a big wide circle with your mouth and you

233
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.919
clap your hands those cupped hands right in front of

234
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.039
your mouth like that, that makes this really loud popping sound.

235
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.320
I'll do it right now like like that. And if

236
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.240
you're out in the middle of a forest where there's

237
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.360
no sounds at all, that makes a very loud sound

238
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:06.600
that carries. And I recently saw a video where someone

239
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.200
said they saw they were witnessing a big foot. They

240
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.919
said he brought his hands up to its mouth in

241
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.279
front of its face and then made a wood knocking sound.

242
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.399
Now he could he wasn't close enough to see exactly

243
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:23.320
what it did, but according to what he saw, as

244
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.360
soon as he raised its hands to its mouth, the

245
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:30.559
wood knocking sound happened. So just saying that, hey, maybe

246
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.840
that's something they do, well, it's something that I did

247
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.240
that day. I did it three times. I did it boo.

248
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.840
I just stood there, silence, listened.

249
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.679
Big for a society who will be right back after

250
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.480
these messages.

251
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.200
Then in about five to ten seconds after I did that,

252
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:10.080
I hear the loudest bang, bang bang on a tree

253
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.759
just in the same direction in front of me that

254
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.759
I was going where I heard the sound, the more

255
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:21.000
rustling sound, and on the third bang, the distinct sound

256
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.559
of you know you hear it on TV or in

257
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.720
a movie if you haven't seen any real life or

258
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:29.759
heard in real life of a tree falling over, you

259
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:34.279
know that cracking of the wood with a big loud

260
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.480
boom when it hit the ground. And I stood there

261
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:43.039
like I was in shock. I said, what just happened?

262
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:49.279
Like freaking out the loud bangs, the tree fall and

263
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.639
the crash on the ground. I said, okay, I stood there, Okay,

264
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.039
what's gonna happen next? And after a couple of minutes,

265
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.519
I said, okay, I'm I'm gonna start heading heading in

266
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.960
that direction. So I did. I started finally going up

267
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.879
that way. It was up. I had to go up

268
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.279
a little slight ridge, headed back up to the road

269
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.039
that I drove in on, and I found the tree

270
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.039
that fell. It was actually a dead tree, but it

271
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.159
was very big and thick. It was at least at

272
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.919
least eighteen inches in diameter. I'm not sure what kind

273
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.159
of tree it was. But it was dead and I said,

274
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.639
oh wow, but you know what this is where it

275
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.240
was knocked over. It was knocked over exactly a perpendicular

276
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.759
across the road that I drove in, blocking my car in.

277
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.360
And I have heard other people say they will knock

278
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.639
over trees and block your car in. I said, oh,

279
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.720
but not before. I was like, this is new. I'm new.

280
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.919
I'm totally green going out in the field looking around.

281
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.399
And I didn't really have a camp. This is back

282
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.440
cell phones where like what we have now. But I

283
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.840
didn't think about taking pictures or anything. I did return

284
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.679
the next day to make a plaster cast of the

285
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:09.079
foot impressions. But anyway, at that point I've said, okay,

286
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.839
now my cars blocked in. Now what did I do?

287
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.039
And now I got this little four door four cylinders

288
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.759
sitting out of the Ford Escort. I had a CBE

289
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.920
antenna magnetic mount with this cable. I said, okay, well,

290
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.839
I'm going to take the CB cable. I'm going to

291
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.880
wrap it around this end of the tree here and

292
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.240
tied it to the bottom of my car and hopefully

293
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.599
I can drag this enough out of the way where

294
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.519
I can drive around it. And I did. I was

295
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.200
able to do that, so and I looked at the

296
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.640
base of the tree. My first okay, did something, go

297
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.559
up and stand at the base of the tree and

298
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.519
do this, And sure enough I found another exact impression

299
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.200
of the same ones I found earlier, fourteen inches long,

300
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.920
six inches wide at the base of the tree. It

301
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.480
was not as deep, but it was definitely there. So

302
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.000
I got I got the tree out of the way,

303
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.599
got in my car, and I was able to leave. Now.

304
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.599
I returned the next day. I said, oh, I'm going

305
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.359
to go back and I'm going to make plaster casts

306
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.279
of these. Rain was in the forecast too, some storms

307
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.160
were moving in, so I got in there quickly as

308
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.599
I could. I made one cast of the first really

309
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:17.880
deep impression I found. I went. I tried to make

310
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.680
a cast of the one at the base of the tree,

311
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.160
but it was so shallow I really couldn't get a

312
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.799
nice stick layer of the plaster in there, and that

313
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:27.920
one just crumbled when I took it out because I

314
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.839
actually was in a rush because the rain, the big

315
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.799
thunderstorm was coming in. So anyway, yeah, I did get

316
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.200
the one cast, and it was the very first time

317
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.720
I ever made a cast, and one part of it

318
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.400
actually broke off, but it was a very impressive looking

319
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.480
fourteen inch by six inch put shape print. I said,

320
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.799
no toes. Toes would have been awesome, but no, there

321
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.720
were no toes, and so that was it. Now. Yet

322
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.799
that was about two thousand and five ish, I'd have

323
00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:01.119
to say. So that is my experience with And here's

324
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.400
the thing. I never saw a creature. I never saw

325
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.119
what did that. I never saw what made the prince.

326
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.880
I never saw what made the bangs on the tree

327
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.079
and knocked it over. I'm only assuming, based on the

328
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.279
history of the area, what I was there for, and

329
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.519
what happened, how it happened. All the circumstantial evidence in

330
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.240
my mind says it was a bigfoot that did that.

331
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.880
Oh yeah, I mean, especially finding the fourteen inch indentation

332
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.880
by the tree. I mean that to me, that's like

333
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.839
a done deal, right, I mean what else?

334
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the thought of my mind.

335
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:48.599
Sa Okay, this tree is knocked over while was standing here.

336
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.880
Yet there's that same impression in the ground. Actually, So

337
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.920
a few days later, some of the members of our

338
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.240
new group NESRA we went back there and looked around.

339
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.039
We actually did an overnight but nothing happened while we

340
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.039
were there, but also in Connecticut, there are some other

341
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.519
researchers that I've recently gotten back in contact with, living

342
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.559
in a totally different part of Connecticut, but they have

343
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:18.559
some interesting activity in their area on some private property,

344
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.759
and the property owner has given them permission to just

345
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.000
pretty much just park the overnight. And I've joined them

346
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.480
a few times and we have heard some interesting sounds.

347
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:31.839
And they have these zoom recorders with the microphones and

348
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:36.039
the amplifiers, so you can really hear, you know, small

349
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.319
sounds from a distance, really great equipment. And what we

350
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.519
do we just park our vehicles and sit in the

351
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.000
cars and hang the microphones out our windows and just

352
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.480
sit there and listen. And it's amazing the sounds that

353
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.920
you can hear at two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning,

354
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:54.440
when you're normally sleeping. It is a completely different world

355
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:58.400
out there in this specific area. They said, at one

356
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.240
time there's this big quartz boulder that they park next to,

357
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.000
and one time they were parked there and this huge

358
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.720
rock COM's flying in and it smashes on the other

359
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.200
side of the boulder that the park next to, and

360
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.200
pieces of the rock went flying and one of the

361
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.440
times I got to either with them. We you know,

362
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.079
you're sitting there, you falling asleep. You know, you're listening

363
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.640
to Okay, you hear some creak is sturbing, and you know,

364
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.160
maybe the couple little rustles to leave here and there,

365
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.440
but nothing but all of a sudden, maybe I think

366
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.119
it was like two forty five in the morning. I'm

367
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.480
I'm dozing off, but I got the headphones on listening

368
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:41.839
and I hear bipedal footsteps are getting closer closer to

369
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:44.839
the car. I wake up, my eyes wide open, my

370
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.599
heart is poundering. I'm a bigfoot is walking right up

371
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.680
to our cars. And we had two where radios to

372
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:51.960
communicate with each other. So I get on the radio.

373
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.880
I said, hey, those are bite people footsteps. And one

374
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.319
of the people they get back to me. You think

375
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.160
there's a bite people post steps, And that happened. The

376
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.799
footsteps all of a sudden turn into a run and

377
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.640
they go off into the distance. Well, okay, there, I

378
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:09.160
guess that was a big foot coming up too. But

379
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:12.160
now he's gone. But so that was also in Connecticut.

380
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.960
Yet there is there is so much activity in Connecticut Massachusetts.

381
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.799
A lot of people don't talk about. In fact, I

382
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.319
just heard your story with Ernie from Granville Reservoir, which

383
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.880
that turns out that's not very far from the Winstead area,

384
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.000
Oh yeah, which is also also another part of that

385
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.960
same extension Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

386
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.359
Yeah, I mean it easily could see the same bigfoot

387
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.000
that are hanging out down where your area was, maybe

388
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.599
being part of that whole Granville Cobble Mountain area. I mean,

389
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.079
it's yeah, it's not that far behind. Did you did

390
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.000
you ever check out that area as well? Or were

391
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:51.839
you pretty much just down in Connecticut.

392
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:58.400
Well, I have never been particularly in the Granville area,

393
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.279
since it's so close to the American Legion state for us.

394
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.240
When I go up there this weekend to take my

395
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.880
video for this story, I'm just gonna take a ride

396
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.079
over to It's like twenty five minutes away from there,

397
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:13.319
and you know, I looked it up, you know, being

398
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.680
the researcher, and I looked it up and I know

399
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.480
where it is, so yeah, I can park right here

400
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.359
and walk right into the woods. I'm just gonna take

401
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:24.319
a look around. Because Ernie's story was fascinating.

402
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.759
Oh it really is. And the thing about it is that.

403
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.319
There's so many other people that have been contacting me

404
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.599
since that story came out, since you shared on the channel,

405
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.960
and other people that have been like, yeah, I've also

406
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.400
experienced stuff in that area. So right now trying to

407
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.759
get other episodes set up of that same area. We'll

408
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.359
see if they actually come to Fruition. But it's just

409
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.440
it's wild to think that there is an area that

410
00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:01.039
is so close to Westfield that has some pretty intense

411
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:03.920
bigfoot action going on. So it'll see. We'll see what

412
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.880
comes of that for sure. But did you ever did

413
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.680
you ever have any any bigfoot research happen in Massachusetts

414
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.480
in any other areas.

415
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.119
Well? Not me specifically, but my friends that I was

416
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.319
just talking about in another part of Connecticut. They moved

417
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:22.119
to Connecticut a few years ago, but they used to

418
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.880
live in western Massachusetts and they they have told me

419
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.000
about some very interesting places. One in particular is up

420
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:35.720
on the north end of Reservoir. Yep, there are some

421
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.440
camp sites up there. There's campgrounds where you can go camping.

422
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.039
They say, yeah, there is. There is a lot of

423
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.000
activity up in the north end of Reservoir.

424
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.319
It's a I know exactly who you're talking about. I

425
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.680
talked to them like three or three or four years ago.

426
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.960
I think it's a couple, right, Yes, it is. Yeah,

427
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:01.160
they're they're great. It's been a long time, but yeah,

428
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.279
they they have a very interesting story and I think

429
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.319
maybe even they're involved with things around Mount Tom.

430
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.680
I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, Mount Tom. I wish I

431
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.160
had known about that. I was still in Springfield at

432
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.920
the time. I said, oh, well, but I heard all

433
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.640
about that encounter. That's a pretty good one that the

434
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.640
feature and his kid.

435
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.160
Yeah, no, that's that's I don't think that was even

436
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.799
one that got on the episode. But we had been

437
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.200
talking for like an hour and a half before we

438
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.759
actually started recording a few days before, and she told

439
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.920
me that story and it was wild. It's just just

440
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:43.720
a wild account. Hopefully someday maybe I'll maybe I'll have

441
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.960
to talk to her again. But it's a it's a

442
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.319
good one.

443
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.839
And the thing is yeah, and the thing is Mount

444
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.519
Tom is like right there next. First of all, Holy

445
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.000
yok is a city, and then there's Chickapee in Springfield.

446
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:01.279
It's like right there. I think the greater Springfield population

447
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:03.880
is close to half a million people, and they are

448
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.359
big for right up there. On the mountain there right

449
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:09.359
now where I am, I'm visiting. I'm in Connecticut now,

450
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.640
visiting from North Carolina. And where I am, I'm very

451
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.880
close to a place called the Devil's Hopyard down in

452
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.440
southeast Connecticut, and there is stuff going on there too.

453
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.759
I could drive there from where I am in five

454
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.119
to ten minutes. And so you just look at a map.

455
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.119
Anyone can do this. Look at a map, look at

456
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.480
where there's a lot of wilderness, look at what there's trees,

457
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.880
lots of the thick forest. And the thing is, you

458
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.279
got to go out there at one o'clock, two o'clock,

459
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.640
three o'clock in the morning, just sit there and listen,

460
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.119
and you will hear things like, oh, okay, that's not

461
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:54.000
any animal that I'm aware of familiar with that sound,

462
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.319
And you just might be hearing some big foot activity.

463
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.359
Because ninety percent of people who have a big foot encounter,

464
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.319
it's gonna be something to hear. If they're lucky enough,

465
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.079
we'll actually see a big foot. But the other ninety

466
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.000
percent are going to hear a bigfoot. And then there's

467
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.279
a few that smell a bigfoot. But you know, I

468
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.759
want to go back to the Monster Quest episode Bigfoot

469
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.599
in New York. Now, when you watch the show, there

470
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.440
was nothing conclusive, no encounters happened. But near the end

471
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:31.200
of one of our members, Kevin, he actually did have

472
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:36.599
an encounter. There's a part in the show where I'm

473
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.079
up there on the show that it's funny. I don't

474
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:41.079
know why they did that, but they called me Tom

475
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:46.279
Hollywood as we had to fill out forms before the show.

476
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:47.759
We had to fill out forms and they said, do

477
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.480
you have like a nickname? I said, yeah, well my

478
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:52.119
nickname is Hollywood. And that goes back because when we

479
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.000
first formed NESRA, another Tom joined the group. So there

480
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.000
are two times. Well okay, well we'll call you Hollywood

481
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.319
so we don't get too confused when we're all talking. Okay,

482
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.440
so that's Tom, and so I know that. Put that

483
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:06.920
so on the show says Tom Holly was here. And

484
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.319
then Kevin and Corey, two other members of the group,

485
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.960
were stationed like the next station over from me and Dave.

486
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:21.160
And as as they were sitting there to the night,

487
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:28.160
Kevin kept getting hit by pine cones. Someone or something

488
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:32.599
was throwing pine cones at him and he wanted he

489
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.559
wanted his partner Corey to go up there because see

490
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.160
what it is. He wouldn't do it. He said, well,

491
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.920
I'm going to go back down to the camp. So

492
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.759
Kevin starts walking back down towards the main camp and

493
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:46.279
whatever was throwing the pine cones followed, and so he

494
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:49.039
finally turns around his moonlight. It's a bright moonlit night,

495
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:51.799
just like it is tonight, and he looked and he

496
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.200
saw he said, it was like seven and a half

497
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:57.400
heet tall bigfoot. He said it was. It was behind

498
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.039
a tree and it stepped out from behind the tree

499
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.079
and that's what he saw it. And you see him

500
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.799
on the show talking and he's on camera and he's

501
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.920
a little shaken up by the whole incident. But that happened,

502
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:13.680
but we didn't we didn't actually tell the Monster Quest people.

503
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:15.720
Oh yeah, there's a big foot right here. There was

504
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:17.920
a big foot and concert on that episode, but it

505
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.799
was not shown on the cameras of Monster Quest.

506
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:27.279
That's incredible anyway. Wow, how wild is that? Oh yeah,

507
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:33.960
it just blows my mind. That is crazy, man. I'm

508
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:36.960
such a fan of New England bigfoot. So I what

509
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.000
a missed opportunity that wasn't into it when I was

510
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.400
out there.

511
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:41.319
But it is what it is.

512
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.000
But have you ever heard of any This is just

513
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.079
shot in the dark, But have you heard of any stuff?

514
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:50.240
You know, like north central Massachusetts, Like you go up

515
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:54.720
ninety one through through mass and you're going up to

516
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:58.359
like Vermont, New Hampshire. Have you ever heard of anything

517
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.880
up there in like that area where it's three states

518
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.559
that come together.

519
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:11.480
Oh, you mean right around Northfield, mass and Keen, New Hampshire, Right, exactly. Yeah,

520
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:17.039
I've heard that there's interesting things happen around the Menadnock area. Yes,

521
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.640
I haven't specifically look at it. Actually, for a time there,

522
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.279
I used to drive a race car at Nadnock speed Away.

523
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:28.279
Oh really, any time, any time I spent it there,

524
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:30.480
I was driving a race car. But yeah, but I've

525
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.799
I've read about the Monadnock area is very interesting, is

526
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:35.839
what I can put. Has been such a long time

527
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.720
ago I read about. Can you tell us more about Menadnock?

528
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:41.720
Big for a society who will be right back after

529
00:30:41.799 --> 00:31:01.200
these messages? I mean, well, I'm going to lose a

530
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.720
ton of cred because I grew up in the area

531
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.279
and I never went there. I've never hiked it, and

532
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:09.000
it's like one of the most popular mountains in the world, right,

533
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.759
But regarding Bigfoot, that area I believe is known for

534
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.839
the Marlborough Monkey, which is a group of bigfoot sightings

535
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:24.000
over in that area, and crash Course Cryptozoology YouTube channel

536
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.480
has done a really good documentary on it. People want

537
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.440
to check that out. But yeah, that area is known

538
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.079
for some really interesting bigfoot sightings called the Marlborough Monkey

539
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:38.400
throughout years. So shot in the dark though about So

540
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.720
Franklin County is the whole Northfield area and I'm like, man,

541
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:44.640
there's got to be bigfoot stuff, but I just haven't

542
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.480
found the person that knows because it's hard to get

543
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.839
those guys. So if any listeners are like, oh yeah,

544
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:56.000
I know Franklin County or like Winchester, New Hampshire, Braddleborough

545
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.240
and I know bigfoot stuff, reach out please. I would

546
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.680
love to talk to you about it, just because I

547
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.960
grew up there, wild wild stuff. Who else? So, who

548
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:11.400
else was involved with your group on that Monster Quest episode?

549
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:18.119
Oh well, let's see, oh so long ago. Let's see,

550
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:21.279
Dave was with me when we were doing the stakeout

551
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.640
that night. Kevin and Corey were the ones getting the

552
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.119
pink con stone at them. Let's see Big Daddy Chuck

553
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.440
one of them. He helped to run the base camp.

554
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:36.559
There's in charge with the base camp. And Steve calls

555
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.119
squatch detective. He was also am of that expedition. Yeah,

556
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:49.039
and and Chris Chris was his last name from New

557
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.920
York because we were we had members of the Adirondack

558
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.559
Bigfoot Society I think it was. And uh, but Chris

559
00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:59.920
Chris is there, and yeah, we had we had a

560
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.519
a lot of good people, a lot of good people

561
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.359
on that expedition.

562
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:10.160
So you started out in New England, but then at

563
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:14.400
a point you transitioned down to North Carolina. How is

564
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.799
it looking for Bigfoot down there as opposed to looking

565
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:19.359
for Bigfoot in New England.

566
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.920
Well, here's the funny thing. A few years back, I

567
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.519
don't know, I'd probably say maybe ten years ago or so,

568
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:31.880
I kind of say I retired from the whole Bigfoot thing,

569
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:34.880
I you know, moving on doing other things in my life.

570
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.119
And it was interesting the times I had, so I

571
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:40.599
didn't really give it much thought. And it was in

572
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:46.720
twenty twenty we moved from Connecticut to North Carolina, mostly

573
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.599
because of the whole medical issue that was going on

574
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.119
during that time. And you say, I work getting out

575
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:56.200
of Connecticut. This is crazy. Things will be better down

576
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:59.200
in North Carolina, and they certainly were, certainly are. So

577
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:03.119
we moved to the actually we moved to Asheville. We

578
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:07.720
bought we bought a camper and we put it on

579
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.400
a campsite. But we lived in an apartment in Asheville.

580
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.639
This was in twenty twenty and in twenty twenty one

581
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.800
we moved out of that apartment. Well this is not

582
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.599
Bigfoot related, but everyone knows what happened. A few weeks

583
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:25.079
ago the big storm came in and the apartment we

584
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.320
lived in in an Ashville that was underwater. It was

585
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.199
two floors these buildings, first floor apartments and second floor apartments.

586
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.000
So we had a first floor apartment. We went back

587
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:37.960
there and we talked to a woman who lives in

588
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:39.880
the second floor apartment. Said, oh, yeah, the water was

589
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:44.599
a foot high in my second floor apartment. So anyway,

590
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.320
we moved out of Asheville in twenty twenty one and

591
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:52.480
moved to Maggie Valley. It's a little resort town at

592
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:56.239
the entrance to the Smoky Mountains on the North Carolina side.

593
00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:00.360
Beautiful little town, lots of RV's and camp and so

594
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:03.519
we have a camper down there. But then we moved.

595
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.800
We were renting out a house in mars Hill because

596
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:08.840
it was cheaper than where we were renting in Maggie Valley.

597
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:10.800
The camper at that time was more of like a

598
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.159
backup place to go. So Mars Hill is on the

599
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:18.880
border at Tennessee. Maybe we were like a mile and

600
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:20.800
a half away from the Appalachian Trail, right on the

601
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:28.079
from month the Tennessee North Carolina border. And this is

602
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.360
what I would do. I found this app called the

603
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.320
Sound Recorder that downloaded on my smartphone, my Android phone,

604
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.519
and I was just stick my phone out the window.

605
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:41.320
And anyone can do this, especially if you live in

606
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:45.840
a rural area, and you might might not want to

607
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.000
do it because it kind of gets addicting. What you

608
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:51.639
do is you download this app and it amplifies sounds

609
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.280
like crazy, like wow, this is like as good as

610
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:56.880
the Zooon recorder. And I'd stick it out there and

611
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.800
I would hear what knocks. I would here howls, and

612
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.800
I'm just lying in the comfort of my bed, I'm

613
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.280
hearing this big food activity going on up in mars Hill,

614
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:11.719
North Carolina. So then eventually we moved back. We finally

615
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:14.960
moved into the camper full time in Maggie Valley. Now

616
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:20.159
Here is something that happened just a couple months ago.

617
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:26.639
There was a meteor shower August twelve, and I think

618
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.400
it was the Percied Media shower. But anyway, this meteor shower,

619
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.000
I said, oh boy, the metia show. I'm going to

620
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:32.639
go out at one thirty in the morning in Maggie

621
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.280
Valley and look at the watch of meteors. So I

622
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:41.960
step out with the camper, go outside, and I just

623
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.400
saw some nice meteors. But I'm hearing a dog bark across.

624
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:47.239
If you look at a map of Maggie Valley, the

625
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:49.719
main drag is called Soco Road. I live in a

626
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.519
camper on the north side of Soco Road. I hear

627
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.360
dog barking across on the south side of Soco Road,

628
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:57.440
and it's the mountains on that side of the valley're

629
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:01.079
called the plot Balsam Mountains. And I'm listening. I said,

630
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.400
there's another animal making sound and that's what a dog's barking.

631
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:09.840
And as I'm listening, I said, holy crap, that's a

632
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:13.880
bigfoot and that's why did the dog is barkin so

633
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:18.239
I jump in my van, I drive over closer to

634
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.840
where the sun is coming from. I'm right near a

635
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.239
Maggie Valley town hall now, and I just let my

636
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:27.239
recorder run and recorded the sounds. And this is on

637
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.960
my channel, my YouTube channel now Blue Edge Bigfoot. And

638
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.960
there is a story about a creature or a man,

639
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.360
depending on how you want to look at it. That's

640
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.440
called the Boojum. In fact, in Waynesville, North Carolina, that's

641
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:46.840
the next town over they have Boujim Brewery. And the

642
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.400
legend of the Boojum goes something like this. Around nineteen hundred,

643
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.440
guy bought the top of a mountain there right at

644
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:59.239
the end of the plot Baalsams. He bought the property

645
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:02.800
and he wanted to build a hotel, so he had

646
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.800
to have a road cleared all the way to the

647
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.679
top of the mountain, cleared the land, and built this

648
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:11.000
big old honkin hotel up on top. It's called Eagle

649
00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:14.159
Nest Ridge. And you can look at that on the

650
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.280
map and see where it was. So this is nineteen

651
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:20.519
around nineteen hundred he built this. And after the hotel

652
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.480
was built, people hear all kinds of weird howls and

653
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.760
who and out in the forest around the hotel. So

654
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:34.920
somehow the story came up, Oh, that's the Boojum. And

655
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:39.480
the Boojum was it was described as a seven foot

656
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:44.119
tall man covered in hair. He was ugly, and they

657
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:46.519
said he liked the spy on the women when they

658
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:49.400
were taking baths, and the creeks and the streams around

659
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.280
the area, and he liked to find rubies and other

660
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:56.920
gemstones in the area and go hide and away in

661
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:01.280
a cave. But to me, yes, okay, that's a big

662
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:03.320
but I don't know about the part about rubies and

663
00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:06.719
gems and hiding them. But the big, tall, ugly hairy

664
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:10.440
man maybe spying, maybe spying on women. Maybe not. Okay,

665
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.039
that to me sounds like a bigfoot story, just like

666
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:17.519
the wild Man story. So then the legend goes, but

667
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:21.760
this one woman didn't really mind him spying on him,

668
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.599
I mean, spying on her past. She has taken him back.

669
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.159
Her name was Annie. So the legend goes that whenever

670
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.239
Boujiam would be out in the forest somewhere out in

671
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.320
the mountains is Annie would start hooting for him. So

672
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.480
they called her Hoot and Annie and she would hoot,

673
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.840
And then the Boujiam would hoot her holler back, so

674
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.039
the two of them would be communicating with each other.

675
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.000
So when I when I heard this sound back in August,

676
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.800
I said, oh wow, I'm hearing either the boujam or

677
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.440
hoot and Annie that they've been talking about for the

678
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:02.280
past two hundred let's see hundred and twenty years. One

679
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:04.719
hundred and twenty years this has been going on. So

680
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.480
I recorded it and it's on my on my channel

681
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:11.320
Blue Ridge Bigfoot. I got one called who and Nanny

682
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:13.960
and just just listen to it and tell me what

683
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.239
you think. But that was I was recorded with my phone.

684
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:18.679
I just let it sit on top of my van.

685
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:20.960
I sat there and after a while I said, you know,

686
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:22.679
I didn't see if I can drive closer to it.

687
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.320
So I started up my van. I drove around up

688
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:28.239
into the neighborhood where it was coming from up the

689
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:29.840
side of the mountain to see if I get closer.

690
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:32.320
But I'm thinking I'm driving my van. I got my

691
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.400
windows down. All I can hear is my van. Now

692
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.000
I really can't hear anything. I didn't want to stop

693
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.360
and park in front of someone's house. You know, people

694
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:40.760
out there will come out with your shock and hey,

695
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:43.280
what are you doing? So I drove back down and

696
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:48.280
I got some recording and that's actually here's something else

697
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:52.960
that happened four days later. This was a Sunday night,

698
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.159
Monday morning when I made the recording. Four days later,

699
00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:59.280
it was Friday. One of my neighbors in the RV

700
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:05.360
park we're we are her sister and another a resident

701
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.320
of the park. We're walking their dogs in this little

702
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.960
park right around the corner from us, right across Soko

703
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:14.280
Road from where I was hearing the sounds. And at

704
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:16.079
one side of the park there's a big hill in

705
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.880
it's all forest. The name of the park something like

706
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.719
roof something park. But anyway, I'll tell you what. If

707
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.599
you want to look this up on the map, look

708
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:30.320
up Maggie Valley Storage Solutions on a map on Google.

709
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:33.079
You'll see where that is. And then to the right

710
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.599
of it, you'll see the little park and you'll see

711
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:40.000
this hill that's covered with trees. It's very steep. At

712
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:44.039
the bottom of the hill where the park is, right

713
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:48.000
on the border between the park and the forest, there's

714
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.639
a bunch of grapes, a bunch of grape vines strung up,

715
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.119
but there's a little track people walk the dogs. So anyway,

716
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.559
they were walking their dogs on this track, she said,

717
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:06.360
something huge started growling at them from inside the woods

718
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:08.840
right at the edge of the woods there. Their little

719
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.559
dogs got scared. Then he got out of there, and

720
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:14.519
so I swear to it was a bigfoot. She said

721
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.880
she never heard anything growl that loud before in her life.

722
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:23.480
And putting putting the pieces together, you know, the sounds

723
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:24.719
like bigfoot activity to me.

724
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.079
It's wild, I mean. And the video you'd been talking

725
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.000
about before, that's the one that you had sent over

726
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:32.639
to me right.

727
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:39.320
With the recordings. Yes, yes, I got one called who

728
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:43.320
and Nannie where it does the Yahoo three times. I'm

729
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.800
playing the same recording over three times because you know,

730
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:48.159
it's one Yahoo, so you can hear it three times.

731
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.559
We'll keep rewinding it. And then the other one is

732
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:57.039
the longer one where it starts making all those noises,

733
00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:59.880
then the dog barks and then it growls at the top.

734
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:04.360
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty awesome. I'll definitely have it in

735
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:09.800
the description or show notes, which is people know where

736
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:10.239
to find that.

737
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:11.880
Have you been so.

738
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:17.920
We kind of mentioned about a few weeks ago there

739
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:21.880
was the hurricane. Definitely need to address it. Haven't really

740
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.000
addressed it on the show yet. Have you been down

741
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:25.599
to that area since that's happened.

742
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:29.000
Oh, we were there when it was happening.

743
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:31.039
Oh you were okay, Wow.

744
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:35.840
Yeah, I'll tell you I am. Another feel of interest

745
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:39.159
to me is weather. Yeah, and when it Tucker was

746
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:41.519
coming in. Even before that, this is what was going on.

747
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.119
We were getting rain for two days already before the

748
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:48.239
hurricane even got there. And as the hurricane started coming

749
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:51.239
up the coast of Florida, before it even made landfall,

750
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.119
the upper outflow from the hurricane started interacting with this

751
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:57.679
cold front that had moved in and was causing rain,

752
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.320
which just piled more rain on top of it. When

753
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.559
the hurricane finally hit, it just dumped that last foot

754
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:07.760
of rain. There were places in the area that got

755
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.960
over three feet of rain within those three days. And

756
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:16.119
we were really lucky where we are in Maggie Valley

757
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:18.280
because we were up near the top end of the

758
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:21.880
valley where the creek, the main creek is called Jonathan Creek,

759
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.519
flows downwards. So obviously the higher up you are the

760
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:28.320
better off. But as you go down this were more

761
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:31.199
and more flooding. The land in front of us. Our

762
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.480
Harvey Park was flooding. Our camper was up like a

763
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.519
couple feet higher, and then one camper at the end

764
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:39.599
he ended up like in the middle of a pond.

765
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:42.199
His camp was surrounded. The water started pulling up underneath

766
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.800
our camper. But it was at that point that, okay,

767
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.559
the water started finally receding. It was getting really close

768
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:51.639
to us. But we got lucky. Nothing happened to us.

769
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:53.760
But there are so many people who were not lucky

770
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.239
at all. And the news reports are saying, oh, they've

771
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.639
identified two hundred and thirty five dead or whatever. No,

772
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:06.760
I'll tell you right now. Thousands of people got them.

773
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:11.719
They were just these massive mud and trees and boulders

774
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:16.519
came rushing down these mountains. And there's this town called

775
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:20.360
Chimney Rock by Lake Lore. There's a movie called Let's

776
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.280
See Well, Dirty Dancing was filmed there. Last of the

777
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.119
Mohicans was filmed there. Beautiful, beautiful spot.

778
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:31.400
Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

779
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:50.159
We have been there in the past. They have places

780
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.920
called wiped out then up in north of Asheville. Like

781
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:56.239
I said, Asheville itself got hit hard. North of Asheville,

782
00:45:56.440 --> 00:46:00.800
up near Mars Hill, Spruce Pine, Burnsville. That area got

783
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.760
hit hard. Is just is just you can't it's so terrible.

784
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:09.599
Just mud. There is just this big mud and debris

785
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.880
just came and it covered everything. Uh. They have these

786
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:16.840
dogs are called cadaver dogs, and they go look see

787
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:19.039
if they can sniff out of dead body and they'll signal, okay,

788
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.360
there's one here. They'll plant the flag in the ground

789
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:23.800
there and then move on to next plant another flag.

790
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:29.159
Bason was the other Burnsville or Spruce Pine. There was

791
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.480
this big mud and debris field that the dogs found

792
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:36.840
over one hundred spots where they planted flags. And that's

793
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:41.320
just that one area. Now they're finding bodies and trees.

794
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.239
And I told you about our apartment. The water got

795
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.440
so higher our apartment in Nashville that the second floor

796
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:48.360
apartments were flooding.

797
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:53.719
Yeah, I'm sure you're familiar with what is the best

798
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.840
way to Is there an organization that's better to try

799
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:02.159
to donate to for efforts than others? I'm guessing.

800
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:10.360
Well, they are very well known popular ones, right, I

801
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:14.239
would not recommend right, I mean, the best results were

802
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.920
just from the people down there just rolling up their

803
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:20.800
sleeves and doing it themselves, but doing what they can

804
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:23.239
where they where they could do it, how they could

805
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:28.400
do it. You know, the other organizations are just bureaucracies,

806
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:33.079
and you know they like to grandstand say, oh look

807
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:35.679
at us, here we are, we're here to save the day. Well,

808
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.360
you want to save the day, you start shoveling out

809
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.239
and see if we can, you know, help put these

810
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:42.559
people's lives back together.

811
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:46.440
Oh absolutely, yeah, I agree, one hundred percent. I'd say

812
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:50.199
that the focus right now definitely needs to be on

813
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:56.000
helping people people in that area try to get some

814
00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:01.679
normalcy of life back. It just it has to mean.

815
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:04.760
It's going to take a long long time. It's going

816
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:09.559
to affect everything, all parts of life for you. One

817
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:11.840
of the main things you do in that area when

818
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:16.760
you're down there is to research bigfoot. Have you already

819
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:21.599
started to think of how this will affect how you

820
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:26.280
go about trying to look for bigfoot down in these areas.

821
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:31.280
Well? Other than roads being cut off because you know,

822
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:35.000
roads doesn't get flooded over, roads got washed away, roads

823
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.920
bridges got washed away. And you know it's one thing, Yeah,

824
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:40.800
a bridge gets washed away, you build a new bridge,

825
00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:45.039
But when entire road gets washed away, you have to

826
00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:48.840
engineer an entire new road if you can, to take

827
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.920
its place, which is is totally different from replacing a bridge.

828
00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:57.679
So getting around is actually the toughest thing. Okay, Well,

829
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:01.840
for example I forty, you know, I've driven back and

830
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.880
forth on I forty between North Carolina and Tennessee quite

831
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:09.079
a few dozen times and took it for granted. That's

832
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:12.000
closed for over a year because the Pigeon River just

833
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.159
washed out from underneath it. It rode it underneath it

834
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:19.280
where the entire eastbound side of it collapsed into the river,

835
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.840
and it was a narrow enough to gorge as it

836
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.239
is now. They're gonna have to figure out how we're

837
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:26.960
going to rebuild this, and it's going to be closed

838
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:30.639
at least a year, and that has affected traffic immensely,

839
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:33.159
you know, truck traffic because I twenty six is going

840
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:35.400
to be closed for a few months. A couple of

841
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:38.880
sections of I twenty six between actually in the Tennessee

842
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.880
side Irwin, Tennessee, who was destroyed. That's going to take

843
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:47.280
a few months to repair. So that's affected commerce and travel.

844
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.840
So Asheville, Ashville is like at this crossroads of I

845
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:56.400
twenty six, and I forty from the east the Charlotte direction,

846
00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:01.480
it's open. From the south towards Spartan, South Carolina, that's open.

847
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:05.800
But going west towards Tennessee, you're going north towards Tennessee.

848
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:09.679
Those are both closed down. And it's just it's just

849
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:13.039
one big disaster. It's gonna take so long. Some people

850
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.000
will never get back to normal. They will never know

851
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:20.280
normal life again. You know, where they've lived their entire lives, families, generations,

852
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.719
they've lived there and owned that it's just gone. It's

853
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:23.360
just all gone.

854
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:32.239
It's a thing where that I think will be just

855
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:37.679
trying to analyze it and understand it, that the real

856
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:41.079
effects of it for just for years probably. And I

857
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:43.320
mean I'm not even down there, you know, I'm in

858
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:49.320
the Midwest, so I mean you can go on TikTok though,

859
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.599
and you know, some people don't like the app and

860
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.519
it's that's whatever, but it's like one of the places

861
00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:58.000
where you could actually see the video of what was

862
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:02.280
going on, you know that and Twitter x whatever. But yeah,

863
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:07.960
I think it'll also be a thing where we will

864
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:13.159
be hearing stories of the event probably for years, you know,

865
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.719
just as you know, people start to get internet back

866
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:23.800
and have you Oh man, I am trying to figure

867
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:27.440
out how to So I'm just going to come out out.

868
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:31.239
Have you heard of any accounts from that area that

869
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.920
was affected by flooding in the hurricane, of any sightings

870
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:35.800
or anything.

871
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:40.119
Like that, sightings as a bigfoot sighting?

872
00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:45.840
Yeah, yeah, No, No I haven't, have you No, No,

873
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:47.679
I haven't. And it's a thing where it's like it

874
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:52.360
just gets brought up. I've been, I've been. Just it's

875
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.480
a thing where it's been brought up in a lot

876
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:59.239
of different platforms, and I think people are just entirely

877
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.559
they're focused on if you're focused on that, I mean,

878
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:04.719
your focus needs to be on helping the people right now,

879
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:07.760
right But it just we keep seeing or I keep

880
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.239
seeing this thing pop up where it's like, oh, what

881
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:16.880
did anyone find a bigfoot floating down the river? And

882
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.760
it's like, well, guys, that's a valid question, but like

883
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:24.159
maybe we can The focus doesn't need to be on

884
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:26.760
that right now. But I guess it is a valid question.

885
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.880
But I think maybe we'll hear about that in years

886
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:32.840
to come, but probably not right now.

887
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:37.199
So well, I'll put it this way, I personally have

888
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:39.880
not heard anything about that. Well, I'll tell you what

889
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:43.360
I have heard about. Something that happened a long time

890
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:48.519
ago was Mount Saint Helen's And now when Mount Saint

891
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:52.960
Helens er upted that they retrieved a lot of bodies.

892
00:52:56.639 --> 00:53:00.400
That is it's interesting you bring that up, because it's like,

893
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:08.199
I feel that this scenario has the It could easily

894
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:14.519
become the next Mount Saint Helen's Bigfoot campfire story for

895
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:16.360
the next twenty thirty years.

896
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:16.880
You know.

897
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.559
It just like keeps getting brought up and people are like,

898
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.199
what about this, or like, oh, I totally saw this,

899
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.960
or one of my buddies saw this as well. Yeah,

900
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:28.440
Mount Saint Helens is still talked about to this day.

901
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:30.400
And I mean it's been how many years it's been,

902
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:35.400
what forty years it's been It's been.

903
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.000
A while, yea, over forty years.

904
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:42.920
Every every week I get emails in my in my

905
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:47.119
inbox about hey, what about this or is this a thing?

906
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:50.719
And like, well, I mean, well to shout out Steve Calls.

907
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:54.400
We talked about Steve Calls earlier. His Show's Squads Detective

908
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:59.599
actually did a really good investigative look into the possibilities

909
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:03.960
of of if Mount Saint Helen's Bigfoot could actually be

910
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:07.679
a thing, and it's definitely worth checking out if listeners

911
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:12.079
haven't watched that on his YouTube channel yet. But yeah,

912
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:14.440
I don't know. I think who knows what will come

913
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.880
in the future, But right now, we need to help

914
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:20.119
the people that are affected in that area, which would

915
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:23.239
be the main area is effective, would be east of

916
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:25.719
where you're located down there, right.

917
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:29.559
Yeah, And that's pretty much the result of the way

918
00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:32.480
the storm came up. Yeah, as the storm was coming

919
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:37.199
up through Florida and Georgia, they kept showing its tracking

920
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.239
to the northwest, going up through Georgia and into Tennessee.

921
00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:43.480
But I was watching and I say, it's not making

922
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:46.440
that turn to the west. It's just coming straight up

923
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:50.920
Georgia straight into South Carolina and eventually came straight over

924
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:54.199
us and we got actually, we were lucky to get

925
00:54:54.239 --> 00:54:58.039
the eye in Maggie Valley. First of all, we're kind

926
00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:01.440
of protected being down in the valley. But that brought

927
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:04.280
the bulk of the eastern edge of the storm and

928
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:08.599
the rain up through Lake Lore Chimney Rock up through Asheville,

929
00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:13.639
up into Madison and Yancey Counties north of Ashville, and

930
00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:19.159
then it wrapped around into Irwin, Tennessee. In Greenville, Greenville, Tennessee,

931
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:22.719
Green County, Tennessee, they lost a few bridges from the flooding.

932
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:25.920
And yeah, so it was the track of the storm

933
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:27.039
made a huge difference.

934
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:32.239
Oh, absolutely, it's just exact.

935
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:35.159
They weren't expecting that. In Nashville, no one was expecting it,

936
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:39.440
especially what happened. No one's ever seen anything like it before.

937
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:42.559
Three feet of rain within seventy two hours. No one's

938
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:43.519
ever seen anything like that.

939
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:48.519
I'm looking at a map right now, and I'm realizing

940
00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:53.639
how well, I'm not sure how far the distance is,

941
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:57.239
but you are that Maggie Valley area is actually to

942
00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:57.960
the west of it.

943
00:55:58.159 --> 00:55:58.320
Is that?

944
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:01.480
And I know, I'm gonna sure the name not not

945
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:03.679
a Dahala National Forest.

946
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:06.519
Not Natahala? Yeah?

947
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:09.440
Yeah, is that anything Nantahala?

948
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:10.280
Nantahala.

949
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:14.039
Have you ever gone over there personally to check that out?

950
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.320
Yeah? No, I did. I was traveling out there to

951
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:20.480
buy something at a store. I said, you know, what

952
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.800
is close enough where I'm going to go park here,

953
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:24.920
I'm going to take a little hike into the woods,

954
00:56:26.360 --> 00:56:27.840
just so I could say I was there, And yeah,

955
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:31.119
I was there. I was there for about half an hour.

956
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:32.800
Looked around. Hey, this is nice night, and I got

957
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:37.239
back in my car. Lift. But yeah, did Pisga Cherokee Forest,

958
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:42.079
the whole Smoky In National Forest. That that's like our

959
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:44.239
equivalent of the Pacific Northwest, if you want to put

960
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:44.760
it that way.

961
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:47.639
Oh okay, because it all kind of goes together, right.

962
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:52.639
Yeah, yeah, if you look look at that western tail

963
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:55.280
end of North Carolina that we kind of like tapers

964
00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:59.360
down between Tennessee and Georgia, then you go into the

965
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:03.840
Tennessee at speaking of the Tennessee side, I have also

966
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:06.559
been in contact and have gone out a couple of

967
00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:07.920
times with Harley Owens.

968
00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:13.800
Oh great, great friend. Yeah, Harley is such a good guy.

969
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.679
Yeah, and he is in Newport and Newport got flooded

970
00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:24.360
downtown Newpork also got flooded. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been

971
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:27.159
out a couple of times with him, and some really

972
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:30.119
interesting stuff going on in the areas that he brought me.

973
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:33.360
To put it that way, Yeah, we talked quite a bit,

974
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:37.039
and this is just guys talking, you know, like not

975
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:39.440
for the podcast or anything like. We'll talk quite a bit.

976
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:44.679
And the stuff he gets himself into is absolutely intense

977
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:47.400
in that area. So I don't know how much of

978
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:50.159
that you were involved, but you I mean, that's just

979
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:52.360
he gets into some wild stuff out there.

980
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:58.320
Well, that one time we were up there together and

981
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:02.719
we we went in different ways. Okay, I'm gonna go

982
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:05.519
this way, you go that way, And once we got separated,

983
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:10.239
he started getting stones thrown at him. For another happened

984
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:13.559
a while when they wanted away from the be alone.

985
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:17.280
I guess, right, was that was that in the he

986
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:20.800
has an area where it used to be Scott's. Was

987
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.039
that the same location?

988
00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:28.119
I believe? So I believe that is the sun area. Yeah,

989
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.039
that's very interesting. Yeah, and I'm looking now. Because of

990
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.480
the road closers, it's it's really hard for me to

991
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:41.159
get out there from from the north. Yeah, I'd have

992
00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:46.519
to pretty much take the the scenic route through the

993
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.360
Great Smokey National Forest to come out in Gatlinburg instead

994
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:53.400
of you know, zipping over on the highway, which is

995
00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:56.840
really easy. Yeah. Yeah, I've taken that road and it's

996
00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:58.840
it's not fun. It's a lot of twists and turns,

997
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:00.840
ups and downs and tell on your break.

998
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:03.760
So I put it that way, I bet absolutely.

999
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:08.440
Oh. One thing I wanted to add Kevin from Extra

1000
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:12.360
in the Monster Quest episode. He has a YouTube and

1001
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:17.480
I told him I plug it. It's called Northeastern xped

1002
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:20.519
which I believe is short for expedition. So if you

1003
00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:25.119
look up Northeastern exped E xp D, you'll find a

1004
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.719
lot of interesting videos on his channel. And he's still

1005
00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:31.440
out there. Every every week he's doing something new. And

1006
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.960
now not only did he have his encounter on Monsterquest,

1007
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:39.639
he's also had visual encounters up in Vermont, and he

1008
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:42.800
told me that the one he saw in Vermont was humongous.

1009
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:46.800
Is the way, but it is huge. Wow.

1010
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:50.639
Vermont is also another state I have not gotten a

1011
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:54.559
lot of people to talk about. So that's that's very interesting.

1012
00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:58.280
But what is what's your your future goals with with

1013
00:59:58.440 --> 00:59:59.519
your bigfoot research?

1014
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:04.039
Tom? Well, this is the interesting thing. Like I said,

1015
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.840
I was kind of retired, but once I moved to

1016
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:09.840
North Carolina and I said, there's there's like a lot

1017
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:12.960
of people stuff going on like right here, it kind

1018
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:14.920
of kind of sucked me back into it. I wasn't

1019
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:17.440
expecting to do it, but it did. I said, Okay,

1020
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:19.719
so I'm kind of easing myself back in. I think

1021
01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:21.880
it's really nice when two months ago one comes right

1022
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.000
down and starts doing vocalizations for you. I didn't have

1023
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:26.400
to go anywhere, and let's see and then you know,

1024
01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:29.800
meeting people like Harley and see George Lunsford and then

1025
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:34.079
in contacted him a couple of times. She lives in

1026
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:38.440
West Asheville. Yeah, so it's it's nice to meeting fellow

1027
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.000
researchers in this area, network with a couple of them now,

1028
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:44.880
So you know, I was just let's just see how

1029
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:48.119
things go now with what happened with the storm, it's

1030
01:00:48.199 --> 01:00:50.280
going to be a while before things could get back to,

1031
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:53.800
you know where where they were just just a month ago,

1032
01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:56.880
as far as they jump in the car and go here,

1033
01:00:57.039 --> 01:01:01.519
And I just can't really do that now, So things

1034
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:04.119
are kind of like on hold or maybe toned down.

1035
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:06.960
I should put it for the time being. But while

1036
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:09.400
I'm up here in Connecticut, I've got quite a few

1037
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:11.599
places to check out before we head back down to

1038
01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:12.280
North Carolina.

1039
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:18.280
Absolutely, Tom, it has been just a real privilege to

1040
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:21.239
talk to you. Do you mind and thank you for

1041
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:23.440
being on the show. Do you mind taking a few

1042
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:27.360
minutes just to remind viewers again how they can best

1043
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:30.119
keep up to date with what you're doing, and is

1044
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:31.880
there a way that they can reach out to you

1045
01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:35.840
if they have questions about these areas or reports to

1046
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:37.119
send to you.

1047
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:44.079
I I'll tell you what I am going to I'm

1048
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:47.679
going to make up a new email addresser right here

1049
01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:50.880
on the fly, off the top of my head. I'm

1050
01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:59.840
going to call it blue Ridge Bigfoot at mail dot com. Nice,

1051
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:05.840
