Bigfoot Encounters in Tennessee with Elijah Henderson

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.559
He did a stake at with some
other folk, and you know they're watching

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:09.599
to see who was coming up here
taking the hogs. Well, they described

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.000
that something that looked like a gorilla
loped out of the woods, stepped over

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.920
the fence end of the hog fence, picked one up by its front legs,

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.440
by its back legs, slung it
over its shoulders like that trapes back

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.640
into the woods. And he said
he wouldn't have shot it for anything.

7
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.519
It would just made it mad and
would come and kill this. Welcome to

8
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.920
big Foot Society. In this episode, we talked to Elijah Henderson, a

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.600
researcher of many different cryptids in Tennessee. What has the Cryptid Studies Institute uncovered

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:48.119
in the town of Indian Mound,
Tennessee, And what makes this bigfoot entirely

11
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.520
like something you've never heard before.
Find out this and more on big Foot

12
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.719
Society. All right, big Faciety, You've got a special treat for you

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.400
tonight or whenever you're listening to This
got mister Elijah Henderson with me from the

14
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:12.000
Encrypted Studies Institute from beautiful Clarksville,
Tennessee. How's it going, Elijah,

15
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.439
It's going good, brother, I'm
not sure how beautiful Clarksville is, because

16
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.599
it's not a lot of nature here
anymore. It's mostly city and I hate

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.840
it. Oh but the cool thing
is it sounds like you're getting out in

18
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.280
the woods though, when I can
after it, when I can, If

19
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.120
everybody doesn't mind, excuse my look, Tony. As you can see,

20
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.519
I sort of have sunglasses shaped sun
burned into me. I'm doing construction now,

21
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.799
and they've had me outside a whole
lot recently. Oh, I got

22
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.079
you, I got you. Tell
me about So let's talk about a little

23
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.480
background first. So tell me all
about what is the Crypted Studies Institute.

24
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.319
Well, the Crypted Studies Institute is
a is the brainchild of my dad,

25
00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.760
Johnny Henderson. He and another researcher
you know, talked about going into a

26
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.719
into a cryptic group, and you
know, then it was born, so

27
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:10.159
to speak. It's existed for quite
a long time since maybe about twenty fifteen

28
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.759
or so. But our actual YouTube
channel where we do all of our documentaries

29
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.879
and whatnot, it's only been around
for two three years or so. But

30
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.039
in that time it's been a really
great experience and a lot of really great

31
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.280
things. Talked to a lot of
great people, and whatnot, and h

32
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.800
yeah, I reckon, we're trucking
along. We're our main spot of research

33
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:39.639
is Land between the Lakes in Tennessee
and Kentucky, and we find ourselves there

34
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:46.360
pretty often. In fact, I
think sometime in May we got a trip

35
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.719
with some friends. Planned to go
out there too. Oh that's awesome.

36
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.199
How far away from Land between the
Lakes are you, guys? So,

37
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.639
Clarksville, Tennessee, where I'm at, where I'm situated, it's in a

38
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.919
really good spot because you're close to
a lot of really popular miss creature sites

39
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.039
or spots of renown. From where
I'm at, I'm close to about fifty

40
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:13.319
minutes to an hour from Land between
the Lakes, about an hour from Montgomery

41
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.240
Bell State Park where the Werewolf Springs
is. I'm like twenty minutes or so

42
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.520
from the Bellewitch haunting site Hopkinsville where
the Hopkinsville Goblins. You know, stuff

43
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.520
happened. If you're into ghost you
know, close to Lbl's Fort Donaldson,

44
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:36.120
I believe it's a supposedly haunted battlefield. And yeah, white Bluff or the

45
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.759
White Bluff Screaming stuff happening. A
lot of stuff happened close to here,

46
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.360
and I'm all like within an hour
of it, so listeners know, so

47
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.400
this may the main episode we're going
to be focusing on bigfoot? Is the

48
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.479
cool thing about Elijah and do you
call you? Do you call yourself a

49
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:57.319
CSI or Crypto Studies Institute? Usually
go by Crypto Studies Institute, but you

50
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.360
know what everybody wants to call us, I reckon. So Elijah, he's

51
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.960
telling me beforehand, they started out
with Bigfoot and then they went into dog

52
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.199
Man. So the main episode is
we're going to be talking about bigfoot stuff,

53
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:21.199
but Elijah is going to stick around
for a Patreon after Patreon episode where

54
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:26.439
he's going to talk specifically about dog
Man stuff. Because I was like,

55
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.680
man, I've got you on here. I'm trying to focus on Bigfoot,

56
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.319
but I would be remiss if I
didn't spend some time afterwards talking to you

57
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:40.000
about what you know. From what
I've heard, you guys are considered some

58
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.639
of the some of the experts on
the subject. But the other cool thing,

59
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.720
Elijah is you were kind enough to
share a few sounds my way.

60
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.720
Let's let's start off by playing a
few of those and getting your commentary on.

61
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.560
Some of them are very interesting,
We're gonna playing the big Foot ones

62
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.279
and I will save the dog Man
ones or the after show for the Patreon.

63
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.519
But um, any specific Bigfoot one
you want to start out with or

64
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.040
just I'll I'll pick for you man
dealer's choice. You've got, well,

65
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.759
let me let me play it here
first and then we will we'll do some

66
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.319
commentary. So I'm going to play
it one more time a little bit louder

67
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:30.759
I said, it's very interesting,
and I think I want to play this

68
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:40.360
the other one right after it because
it's kind of y're similar. Okay,

69
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.079
So what's the story behind those two, Elijah, So let me give you

70
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.240
a little bit of background on the
region that comes from that comes from Indian

71
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:54.560
Mound, Tennessee, and Indian Mound
is actually about twenty seven minutes from Land

72
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:00.120
between the Lakes, which is very
ironic. Um, But I have some

73
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.720
some people that lives on, you
know, a good piece of property up

74
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.399
there, and they're basically like grandparents
for me. I've known them my whole

75
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.879
life, so you know, they
they're like grandparents. But they've lived on

76
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.079
this property for like sixteen seventeen years, and most of the time they've been

77
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.720
there, there's been something on their
property. And man, it's been a

78
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.120
great research spot down there because it's
it's great in the way. A lot

79
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.639
of the time you don't have to
go out, you know and hike around

80
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.639
in the woods and try to stir
something up. If you just sit outside

81
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.279
with a fire, generally something will
come up and start making noise at you.

82
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.199
Or you'll just be shooting the breeze
outside and you'll hear something off in

83
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.439
the distance. Oh, there's the
big Foot, you know those that whoop

84
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.399
that first whoop. We were actually
sitting in their yard around a campfire,

85
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.040
you know, shooting the breeze with
the family, and it's like something got

86
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.680
curious and came close, you know, fairly close by and herd activity going

87
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.319
on, and it was kind of
curiously whooping. I guess to get our

88
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:09.279
attention now that secondary whoop. The
people who own the property, they left

89
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:16.800
a a audio recorder out all night
and they caught that one. That's how

90
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.120
he's gotten a lot of noises.
I've actually got like folders of audio clips

91
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.959
from him, which may or may
not have anything on it. A lot

92
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.399
of them. I'll probably just have
to go through and see if there's something

93
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.000
there. But he's gotten a lot
of weird noises just by leaving, like

94
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.519
a little tupperware bowl with a voice
recorder sitting in overnight. And that second

95
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.639
one, I think it might have
been called like s two whoop something like

96
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:45.560
that. It a it's a lot
higher pitch, So I kind of suspect

97
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.279
maybe that was a juvenile because it
had like a much higher tone to it.

98
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.120
Oh. Absolutely, It's like when
I heard him, I was like,

99
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.879
are these like it sounds like almost
like gibbons from the zoo. This

100
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.560
is incredible, Like, and these
are just out in Tennessee at some dude's

101
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.439
properties pretty much. It's well,
I'm going to play the second one one

102
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:15.759
more time since we were just talking
about it. That's wild, dude,

103
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:22.240
oh man. And it's it's probably
the most unique bigfoot spot I've ever been

104
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.839
to. And the reason I say
that is before I get into that,

105
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.040
let me let me give everybody kind
of a lay of the land. Indian

106
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.559
Mound is is is a pretty rugged
spot. You know, it's starting to

107
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.519
get some construction in the area.
It's it's starting to you know, see

108
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.080
some see some traffic, so to
speak, but it's still got quite a

109
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.440
bit of nature. To it.
There's a I believe it's a nature reserve.

110
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.159
It's called Cross Creeks pretty close by
to this property, and uh,

111
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.919
there's quite a bit of nature there. We found, you know, evidence

112
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.000
of like bear up in the region. You know, there's wild boar up

113
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.279
there. But this particular spot where
these people are living at it's off the

114
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.440
road. You drive up a gravel
road up a hill and they live kind

115
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.519
of up on top of a hill
and they're surrounded by lots and lots of

116
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.200
woods. There's a couple of houses
like around them, you know, a

117
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.480
couple of different properties, but basically
it's all out in the woods and some

118
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:30.600
fields and whatnot. Now, one
of the thing that probably makes it the

119
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.600
most unique Bigfoot spot I've ever been
to is that in the time we've been

120
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.120
there, it imitates a donkey.
And there's not a donkey up there,

121
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.120
But when I was a little boy, they used to be a donkey like

122
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:48.080
a way down the road and where
they live. From where the donkey was,

123
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.399
you would never be able to hear
that, you know, it's just

124
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.559
too far of a distance. But
up on top of that hill where their

125
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.639
property is, you will hear donkeys
braying out in the woods and there's nothing

126
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.000
like that in those woods. And
they'll you know, bray in different points

127
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.519
on the property. Some I have
an audio clip somewhere in there. They're

128
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:15.720
like two or three donkeys braying at
the same time. And yeah, man,

129
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.120
that it makes it really wild because
in this day and age, there

130
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.480
is no more donkey anywhere around and
my name. He's even asked his neighbors

131
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.279
before, Hey, you ever hear
like a donkey out here? And his

132
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.360
neighbor told him there's no donkey out
there, ain't been donkey out here long

133
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.360
time, or there's never been a
donkey out here. So there's something around

134
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.000
there that's imitating a donkey. That's
wild. I'm gonna play the sound in

135
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.360
a few in a minute, but
it's just so. The weird thing is

136
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.080
is like, you know, I've
interviewed people about Bigfoot for a few years,

137
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.480
and what I've got so far is
bigfoot try to make sounds that don't

138
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.000
make sense. There are people that
will hear what they think sounds like a

139
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.840
car door in the middle of the
woods, far from away from any cars.

140
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.120
It doesn't make sense. And who's
to say that they couldn't do a

141
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.279
donkey impression, and let's let's listen
to it right now. This is really

142
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:45.200
fascinating. Here we go. Now
everybody can hear that. There's like two

143
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.080
or three donkey sounds there. And
historically from when I was a boy,

144
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:56.279
I only ever seen one donkey down
the road. That's like three four donkeys

145
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.000
there. I don't know, Oh
what did I don't know what to think

146
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.120
of that man. And it sounds
like no tracks have been found, no

147
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.759
donkey tracks, nothing like that.
Nothing like that. Man. This is

148
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.960
all like rugged woods. Like on
one side where you could hear some of

149
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.399
these sounds, it's a thick wooded
hill and it goes straight down a hill

150
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.919
like into a deep ravine, and
then it comes back up on the other

151
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.320
side. It's all just like one
deep ravine. I'll be working out there

152
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.039
since he's like my grandpa in the
day, and I'll just hear like a

153
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.480
donkey brain in the woods and I'm
like, ah, there's that. There's

154
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.639
that big foot somewhere. I've got
a recording and I haven't been able to

155
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.360
find it. I would love to
have it back. I don't know if

156
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.480
it got deleted or what. We
were sitting around the fire there one night

157
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.600
because me and my dad we'd made
a geodesic dome and put it out on

158
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.240
the property and used it like a
like a big giant tent, you know,

159
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.360
through a welders tarp over the top
of it. We're sitting around a

160
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.159
fire around that campsite, which was
smack Dad right in the woods. That

161
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.080
donkey started braying pretty close to the
camp you know, real deep sounding,

162
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.320
and it sound like he got strangled
on something, like it got strangled on

163
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.559
its on spit and then started like
trying to bray and there was like coughing

164
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.480
at the same time. It was
a good audio clip. I haven't been

165
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.360
able to find it. It drives
me mad sometimes I'll be looking through everything

166
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:26.240
can't find it. That would drive
me nuts because it's like, yeah,

167
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.320
because that's like something's trying to imitate
it and then it's got like a frog

168
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.720
in its throat or something. It
was sent am impressive audio, and man,

169
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.000
you hear all sorts of stuff out
there. We've heard like things that

170
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.440
sound like cows up there. As
far as I know, there's no cows,

171
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.279
tropical bird sounds, you know,
something, stuff that just sounds like

172
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.240
out of than the ordinary. At
least in the entirety I've been there.

173
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.600
I've never seen a cow close to
that close to that property that I can

174
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.879
recall. But sometimes you'll hear it, like some of those audio clips in

175
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.919
there is coming like from out of
the woods, you know, where nothing

176
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.080
like that would be. You said, this is Indian Mound, Yes,

177
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.200
sir, it's about twenty seven minutes
from the opening of the south end of

178
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:20.799
Lamb between the lakes. Is it
named because there is an Indian mound in

179
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.480
that area? I would imagine that's
why it's named that. Oh man,

180
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.840
And I'm friends with a safety man
who he used to have, you know,

181
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.679
things happened to him down there,
some unusual things when he was a

182
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.120
younger man, and he has he
knows where the Indian mounds are, so

183
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.639
they're still down there. I don't
know where they are, but he said

184
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.320
he was, you know, doing
some hunting pretty close to one one night

185
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.879
and he gave us like a weird
supernatural encounter. Some of those audio clips

186
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.639
are as recent it is, like
probably around September October twenty twenty two.

187
00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:01.120
What do you do you have a
feeling as to like to you think Bigfoot

188
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.679
is? What are you dealing with
when you're you're out there. Well,

189
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.440
you know, I think he kind
of got a lot of things going on.

190
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.000
To be honest, you got your
You've got your group of people that

191
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:18.679
think it's, you know, something
supernatural or something in their dimensional Because you've

192
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.320
got all these folks that report it
just vanished right before my eyes or I

193
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.000
watched it step into a portal.
You got your your more unusual stories like

194
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.919
that, and then you got something
that comes from a more grounded point of

195
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.960
view like I was watching it.
Uh it was knelt down and eating out

196
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.600
of a blueberry bush, you know, just something like that. I've actually

197
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.679
got hair samples here that was genetically
tested and came back as undocumented primate.

198
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.879
So I think there is something physical
running around in some capacity. But I

199
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.279
think a lot of the things people
see there is something supernatural, you know,

200
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.600
impersonating something like that or appearing as
it. You know, there's a

201
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.679
lot of confusion that could be spread, you know, of something out there.

202
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.440
Demonica is posing as one of these
things. You can you can really

203
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:15.080
stir the pot, I know it. That's you do have to be aware

204
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:22.639
of what you're what you're investigating,
etc. As some listeners may be aware

205
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.480
by m stay tuned for more.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these

206
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:34.279
messages. So you sent it off
to a lab and unknown primate. Really

207
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.759
well that it wasn't me that sent
it off. What happened was when I

208
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.879
was a when I was a boy, we used to go to these groups.

209
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:49.000
Are you familiar with Mary Green?
Yes? Yes, But for listeners

210
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:56.200
who aren't, would you mind describe
the quick summer? Yeah? Yeah,

211
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:03.360
absolutely cool. Mary Green was a
famous bigfoot researcher and she did a lot

212
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.240
of work with the Chattahoochee Bigfoot Research
Organization. And when I was a little

213
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.680
boy, you know, we joined
that group and they would have annual gatherings

214
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.319
in standing Stone State Park. That's
where they did a lot of research.

215
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.680
We've done a lot of research.
Is a used to be a really good

216
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.839
spot and it's declined pretty badly.
But man Green, you know, she's

217
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.720
she wrote the book fifty Years with
Bigfoot, which they got an audiobook of

218
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.160
it on YouTube, but it's it's
about impossible to get a physical copy anymore.

219
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.359
But she's a very well known woman. She would have sort of more

220
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.000
and her research it seemed to take
more of a personal relationship with the bigfoot,

221
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:47.880
because you know, she would have
specific bigfoot she worked with in standing

222
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.799
Stone that she would call by name. She'd go into this spot called Grumpy's

223
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:56.839
Place or Grumpy Spot, and there's
a sasquatch there named Grumpy that you know,

224
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.039
they'd sometimes have experiences with. I
forget the names of the other one.

225
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.599
That's when I was a little boy, but uh yeah, she uh.

226
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.480
For one of those annual conferences that
they had up there, they had

227
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.240
a sort of raffle that they were
doing. They had like a poster board

228
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.920
sitting on a table, and you
know, they have different prizes, and

229
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.759
one of the prizes was some of
those hair samples and they had, you

230
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.519
know, pictures of the results of
the hair that came back from the lab.

231
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.519
And just as a nice gesture,
Mary gave me and my sister like

232
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:32.920
three bags like with a couple of
strands of that hair and it and uh

233
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.359
yeah, that's how that's how we
got ahold of that nice there you go,

234
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.640
there you go. I love it. Um chattahoochie. Is that in

235
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.839
Georgia or Tennessee? It was Georgia. They well, we'd meet up in

236
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:55.680
Tennessee. It was Overton County at
Standing Stone State Park, and it used

237
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:59.440
to be such a good spot,
man. But I'm not gonna name names,

238
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.359
you know, publicly, But from
what I heard, a very well

239
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:11.480
known TV Bigfoot researcher went over there
was firing guns and you can't hardly get

240
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.759
anything to show up there anymore.
I've heard like sort of outside of the

241
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.240
park that people have stuff happen,
but actually in the park of the old

242
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:26.160
locations. So it has Bigfoot been
in your your family DNA for quite a

243
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.680
while, Elijah, like our family
history and whatnot. Yeah, yeah,

244
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:37.039
sorry that that was a really weird
way to say that. It's no problem,

245
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.319
got weird. Yeah, family history, let's say that. Yes,

246
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:48.440
so there has been a lot of
Bigfoot stores in my family. So my

247
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:55.240
dad, my grandma come from East
Tennessee over at Dayton, Tennessee. And

248
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.440
for those that aren't familiar with that
area, it's a small town. Even

249
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.200
today it's it's small, but you
know, it's starting to get bigger.

250
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:06.119
It's where the famous Scopes monkey trial
took place, you know, which was

251
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.440
basically the starting point of evolution being
taught in schools. It was the creation

252
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.079
versus Evolution court debate, so to
speak. And that's the same town where

253
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:22.920
that took place. But you know, there's a been quite a bit of

254
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:27.039
activity happen up there. My family
used to own some property up there.

255
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.640
They would you know, in the
sixties, they'd been there for a while,

256
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.599
but this took place sometime in the
sixties. Where they lived. It

257
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.480
was down a old gravel road and
there's trees on both sides and they'd kind

258
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.559
of curl over like this and you
know, make the road really dark at

259
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.599
night. It would you know,
block out a lot of the light.

260
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.400
And they'd be coming down that road
at night, you know, after getting

261
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.640
their business done in the day,
whatever it was, and they would hear

262
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.119
something following them. I'm up on
the hillside, you know. They'd see

263
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.640
little stones coming down the hill,
you know, kind of rolling down the

264
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.839
hill. As it was walking.
They would walk, It would walk and

265
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.640
follow them. If they'd start running, they would run, or if they

266
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.240
just stopped, they would stop,
you know, classic big foot. And

267
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.319
they would run back to the house
and this thing would be coming after him

268
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.079
and they closed the door. And
they didn't have like a dead bolt or

269
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.400
anything like that on their door,
so they'd pushed the stove up against the

270
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.200
door to try to keep this thing
out, and they'd see the door knob,

271
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.759
you know, the door kind of
shaking back and forth like that,

272
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.720
and it didn't seem to know how
to operate the actual door knob mechanism,

273
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.640
but I guess they'd watched them,
and you know, it was grabbing the

274
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.880
door and shaking it. Things continued
down there, and the family one night

275
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.319
was sitting around, you know,
listening to Lotta Lauretta Lynn records nice,

276
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.599
and they heard some sort of noise
coming from the wood from the window.

277
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.319
They looked over and they seen something
looking in at him. I think,

278
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.000
I think I was told that it
was kind of a growl and a kind

279
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.480
of raspy breathing something or other.
But it had glowing red eyes his watching

280
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.400
them, and it kind of had
a monkeyish appearance, but I had a

281
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.839
wide nose like an old man,
it was described to me. And you

282
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.839
know, this was the Deep South, you know, over in Appalachia.

283
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.039
So what did they decide to do. They took the rifle outside and they

284
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.920
were gonna go try to shoot this
thing, but you know, get outside,

285
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.000
it's gone, can't find anything.
Well, thanks progress a little more

286
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:32.599
and on my aunt Myrtle's farm,
they're having hogs come up missing, you

287
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.200
know. And at that time,
you know, hogs were a staple.

288
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.319
They were their food. They you
know, you could trade them if you

289
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.839
wanted to. They were just really
a staple resource for the people up there,

290
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.799
and to have them come up missing
was a big problem. So one

291
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.880
of my uncles, one of them, he's not living anymore, but he

292
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.920
was one of the meanest men ever
by the daylight, you know, nothing

293
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:59.640
really scared him. He did a
stake at with some other folk, and

294
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.880
you know, they're watching to see
who was coming up here taking the hogs.

295
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.920
Well, they described that something that
looked like a gorilla loped out of

296
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:12.240
the woods, stepped over the fence
into the hog fence, picked one up

297
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.000
by its front legs, by its
back legs, slung it over its shoulders

298
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.319
like that trapes back into the woods. And he said he wouldn't have shot

299
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.880
it for anything. It would just
made it mad and would come and killed

300
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:30.200
us. But I mean, hogs
are hogs are massive. My sister's got

301
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.519
a mini pig. He's not many
anymore, but I can't even wrangle him,

302
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.599
you know. So something just coming
in there and grabbing actual hogs,

303
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.759
grabbing him by the legs, throwing
its over its shoulders, and just taking

304
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:52.559
off with it. That's some force
there. I cannot imagine seeing that with

305
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:59.359
my own eyes. Man, that
be so cool. Man. And I

306
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.480
guess the last thing from up at
that property that I know of is one

307
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.839
of my It was either a cousin
or an uncle. I'm sorry I can't

308
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:11.519
remember which, But he was riding
his horse out in the field around that

309
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.319
property, and as it was described
there as one of those big foot sleeping

310
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.039
in the field, and his horse
jumped over it, and it scared the

311
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.440
big foot. It jumped up and
run. It scared the horse. It

312
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.599
started doing this thing, and obviously
it scared my family member. Some versions

313
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.440
of the story it bucked him off, and some story versions of the story

314
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.839
he was able to hold onto it. But either way, that horse jumped

315
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.680
over a sasquatch and it terrified both
of them. Bigfoot got up and run.

316
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.599
And sometime after all this stuff had
happened, the neighboring county started having

317
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.160
newspaper reports of a wild man around
there, and didn't really have anything go

318
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.559
on there anymore that I know of. So I guess it moved on whatever

319
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:59.359
it was. That's good. Man. Is that property still in your family?

320
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.119
Then? No, there's a man, Oh what was it? It's

321
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.720
it's like the housing projects they're built
there. Now it's on a hillside and

322
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.440
it's kind of overlooking well some of
the town. But at the at that

323
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.319
time, it was a lot more
wooded and whatnot. I've got a picture

324
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.559
of like the old place. I
can privately send it to you later if

325
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.240
you want to see sort of where
it was at, because it's only like

326
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.880
a shot of like one of the
houses. You can't really see the woods,

327
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.640
but you can see the house that
was there as off in the distance.

328
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.480
See, this is why people don't
get like how how can these sasquatch

329
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.480
be seen like so close to the
houses. Well, it's because the areas

330
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:42.880
where we're building houses used to be
extremely wooded, and we just cut all

331
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.720
the trees down and put up some
parking lots and stuff. And you know,

332
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.000
it's like that's how it happens.
It's crazy in your area. Yeah,

333
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.960
I love hearing about like the regional
Bigfoot stories, like the names.

334
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.240
You don't hear, the names that
you're not gonna see in the books,

335
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.880
are there, you know, creatures
that are well known in your area to

336
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:11.119
have like the crazy nicknames like that
there's an Alabama white thing or any big

337
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:17.359
foot type creatures down in your area, well close to me. Not in

338
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:22.519
Clarksville, because Clarksville's pretty awful.
I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty awful.

339
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.599
I've heard a Bigfoot story or two
from up here in Clarksville, but

340
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.559
it's all neighboring things. We got
about forty fifty minutes from here with a

341
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.720
White Bluff screamer, and that place
is unique because you've got almost like two

342
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.440
variations of the way it's told.
Some variations are is that it's like a

343
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:51.319
supernatural spirit type thing, and then
some versions are more of like a told

344
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:56.519
like it was a big foot.
Excuse me if I forget some of the

345
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.319
details, but it's the most famous
story that I know of. It debated

346
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.640
to it was something to the effect
of every night. This is probably like

347
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.160
seventeen eighteen hundreds, something like that. But this feller, you know,

348
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.119
he is in his home and late
in the night he'd hear just some sort

349
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.599
of blood curdling scream off in the
woods, and you know this would repeat,

350
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.839
I guess for a night or two
or however long. But he eventually

351
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.039
was hearing it again one night and
he decided he was going to go check

352
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.079
it out, whatever this was.
So, you know, he got his

353
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.279
gear whatever that was. I guess
it would have been a lantern and a

354
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.119
gun went off in the woods,
storming off after this thing. And he

355
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.920
would hear these blood curdling screams,
and he'd approach him, but he could

356
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.799
never get closer to him. There
was always kind of moving further away.

357
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.119
And then when he got so far
off in the woods, he heard all

358
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.559
these horrible screams coming from his house, and he turned around, ran back

359
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.559
to his house, got home,
and his wife and kids had been just

360
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:03.519
massacred by something. And I remember
hearing something like he looked at his window

361
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.359
and he could see like a white, bigfoot of shape standing there. And

362
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:14.720
there's I want to say, they
had it left like footprints in the grass.

363
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:17.960
It almost looked like they'd been burned
into the grass. Now, like

364
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.920
I said, sometimes it'll be told
and more of like it was a spirit.

365
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.920
Sometimes it'll be told more like it
was a sasquatch. Now I do

366
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:29.160
got a buddy up there who he
got some recordings. As I want to

367
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:30.599
say. He said it was as
a train was going by, but it

368
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.279
sounds like Godzilla roaring in the distance. If anybody wants to hear that,

369
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.839
I've got a White Bluff screamer video
on my channel and that audio is in

370
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.559
it. Not trying to self promote
or anything, but if anybody wants to

371
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.400
hear the audio, it's there.
Oh, everyone should go over. So

372
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.480
the thing is, I'm sure half
the people have been there and subscribed in

373
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.039
the other half need to go there, watch the video and subscribe and hit

374
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:03.000
the belt because Crypto Studies Institute channel
is shit. It's good. Should appreciate

375
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.519
that. Man, you're good stuff. So yeah, it's going to be

376
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.839
in the show notes, don't you
worry. But at the end of the

377
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.400
day, you're saying that this the
story is that this white sasquatch took out

378
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.799
a family or almost a whole family. That's wild man. Yeah, whether

379
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:25.599
it was a big foot, some
sort of evil spirit something, that's one

380
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.079
of the stories attributed to it.
And now I mean just right close to

381
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.839
that area. I mean it's basically
saying Mary, I thought White Bluff is

382
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:41.680
basically smack dab up against Montgomery Belle
State Park and there's big foot activity up

383
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.920
there. My dad seen and another
researcher named Nathan Davis seen three of them

384
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.920
up there in two thousand and nine. And even Mary Green, who we

385
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.519
talked about earlier, said that the
bigfoot up there were known to be kind

386
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.400
of of a violent variety. And
on the back side of the park there

387
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.279
you got were will springs where his
Doorcally, there's been more uh what seemed

388
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.160
to be dog man sidings up there, violent dog man sidings. So all

389
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.920
this crazy stuff is going on in
the same area as the bell Witch Cave.

390
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:19.039
Well uh from Clarksville, it's about
twenty or so minutes, so it's

391
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:26.680
probably like an hour or so from
Montgomer bell State Park. But it's all

392
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:32.920
roughly in the same are I mean, bell Witch stuff happened in Robertson County

393
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.279
and in that same county. You
know, there's been bigfoot reports, there's

394
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.079
a you got the Critter of car
Creek up there. Stay tuned for more.

395
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:45.359
Bigfoot Society will be right back after
these messages. It's a weird area,

396
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.240
man, dude. I mean that's
close enough for me, Like I

397
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.799
if I'm if I'm like an hour
away from the bell Witch Cave, that's

398
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.519
that's close enough for me. That's
stuff that's wild, man. But tell

399
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.960
me about the Critter's his story on
the critter there, Well, the critter

400
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:08.799
car Creek gets kind of described as
like a like a hyena, and you

401
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:14.039
can find newspaper reports about it,
the Critter of car Creek as they called

402
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:18.440
it. And every now and then
people still see some sort of hyaena's looking

403
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:25.240
canine up there. I got a
friend who we went to a Bigfoot conference

404
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.839
in Lamb between the Lakes with him, and he was saying, he's seen

405
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:32.400
something like that down in a creek, and what's kind of ironic. I

406
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:34.480
work construction, so you know,
I'm around a lot of people. I

407
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:38.359
shoot in the breeze with this guy. You know, I'm an expeditor and

408
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:45.000
he's in the trailer next to me. He's an electricians expeditter and we're out

409
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.839
there talking. One day he said
he was from Robertson County, Springfield area.

410
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:53.480
I was like, man, they
still see them hyaena looking things up

411
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.839
there, and he shook his head, Yeah, they people still see him

412
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:02.599
up there. WHOA, So maybe
that's some of the dog man that are

413
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.599
up there, you know, because
sometimes they'll go from on all fours to

414
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.759
upright. Maybe it's like a just
some hyaena that was in a circus show

415
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.240
and got released up here. I
don't know, man, but some of

416
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.839
the some of those, uh,
you'll see the name America's Hyena thrown around

417
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:28.319
on the internet. Or something's being
seen and listeners may have just got a

418
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.880
little bit of a hint as to
how to ask someone about if they've seen

419
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:39.960
a creature the good way, which
is, hey, you ever seen the

420
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.240
you know, just be nice about
it, be kind of you know,

421
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.559
don't be super direct and serious.
Just be a nice guy, and man,

422
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.599
you're gonna get some info. That's
that's how you do it. Man.

423
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:57.960
I tell you what, being around
all these people construction, they know

424
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.279
exactly what I do. I'm always
shooting the ease with them about Bigfoot and

425
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.240
whatnot. And I'll go up to
him and I'll be like, man,

426
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.599
you know, this is gonna be
random. But in my experience, it

427
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.759
seems like everybody's got at least one
bizarre story to tell in their lifetime,

428
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.440
at least one weird thing's happening that
they can't quite account for you ever had

429
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.599
anything like that? And he'll kind
of be like, well, you mean

430
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.400
like supernatural, I mean like,
yeah, you know, supernatural, bigfoot,

431
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.720
anything like that. And he'd be
like, well, I was in

432
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.440
this house when I was a young
man and it had a it was attributed

433
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.079
to be haunted, and me and
my buddies are up there, and we're

434
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:35.200
up in the attic and all at
one time, out of nowhere, all

435
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.480
the doors in the house, every
single door in the house just slam shut

436
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:42.759
all at once, and we got
the heck out of there. And I

437
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.839
don't think he's a gentleman that generally
believes in that type of thing. So

438
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.640
everybody seems to have at least one
story to tell generally. That is a

439
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.680
great piece of advice too, about
how to approach someone like what's your what's

440
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.200
your weird thing? Oh that's so
good man, I love it. I'm

441
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:10.159
gonna I'm gonna remember that one too. Are you a guy that tries to

442
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:20.519
go after the reports that are held
by the state Forestry and the state parks

443
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.079
in your state? Do you do
any of those report things or stick mords

444
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:29.320
to witness reports? Well, we
sort of just have areas you know,

445
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.599
we've always went to, you know, as family, like, hey,

446
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.039
there's a man activity up here,
let's go up here. So I usually

447
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:38.400
hit the same spots over in Dayton, Tennessee. There's a park up there

448
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:44.800
called Pocket Wilderness or I think the
newer names like Laurel Falls or Laurel State

449
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:49.159
Falls or something like that, but
the town's always called the Pocket Wilderness.

450
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:53.719
The one of the rangers, the
officials up there, he'll be pretty open

451
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.760
and just tell you, yeah,
there's big foot in this park. I've

452
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:02.559
had people that let me back up, there's like a there's been a like

453
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.360
a lot of coal mining done in
that park before, and there's a ventilation

454
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.760
shaft that you can walk up to
that's right along the path. Basically on

455
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.400
one half he got all these this
beautiful water rushing and big giant boulders,

456
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.800
and on this other side he got
the hills going right up to the mountain.

457
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.639
It's most beautiful park I've ever been
to. But there's a ventilation shaft

458
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.760
on excuse me, one of those
hillsides and he's had like five different people

459
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:34.079
tell him that they've seen a big
foot coming out of that ventilation shaft.

460
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.159
It only goes so far back,
but it's you know, it's full of

461
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.519
water and whatnot, and maybe something
goes in their drink or just get sheltered.

462
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.800
It's not extremely big, but even
he's seen it. It was throwing

463
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:52.239
stuff off of one of the hillsides
at his truck. I remember he said

464
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.039
something like that. Someone told him
they were hiking up somewhere along the hill

465
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:00.000
and they've seen one up there.
I believe it was a reddish color and

466
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.280
it was a fairly violent big foot. Well, yeah, I've got him.

467
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:07.760
I wouldn't post it because I wouldn't
want him to, you know,

468
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.320
lose his job or anything. But
I've got audio of him recorded telling us

469
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.960
about it, and even his boss
told him, man, stop telling people

470
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:21.400
this stuff. You're gonna scare somebody. But he just seems to keep telling

471
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:25.719
people. How do you get a
park ranger to get like to be like

472
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.239
you just ask him, hey,
you're okay with being recorded talking about big

473
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:35.000
foot or go down. He's super
cool about it. He'll go up there

474
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.480
and he'll just kind of be leaning
on a post. He I guess he

475
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.519
loves the history of the park.
Real good guy. He's like, you

476
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.599
want some history and you'll go up
and just shoot the breeze, and he'll

477
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.599
tell you about like the history of
the park, show this like photo album

478
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:51.400
he's made of, like the ventilation
chafts, and there's like an old dynamite

479
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:55.119
shack he'll show you pictures of,
and he just kind of, I guess,

480
00:36:55.159 --> 00:37:00.679
just sort of transition the conversation,
or at some point he may just

481
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.280
kind of tell you, yeah,
there's there's something up here. But I

482
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:09.199
remember even seeing somewhere online where somebody
was talking about the ranger up there,

483
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:13.360
you know, telling him a big
foot stories, like just some random post

484
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:20.159
online. So he's super open that
guy. Yeah, he may still be

485
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.559
up there. I haven't haven't seen
him in a long time. But that's

486
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:27.840
wild, real cool guy. The
thing I love about your area it is

487
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:37.719
so rich with just wild, untamed
stories of creatures and supernatural and things you

488
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.679
can't explain, and everybody seems to
be into it. It is awesome.

489
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.920
It's a weird spot down here.
Man does never get old. I love

490
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.280
all I love all sorts of weird
stuff. So I'm like, oh man,

491
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.760
we got all this down here,
we got bigfoot over here, we

492
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:57.760
got dog men over here. I
love it. Then I mean it's like

493
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.960
you're you're living Scooby Doo pretty much
like you just go out on the weekends

494
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:07.440
and Yeah, what's really ironic is
where I live. Historically before this was

495
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:15.440
Tennessee in Kentucky, some organization called
like the Henderson Organization, which is ironic,

496
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.400
the Henderson Foundation something right, Uh, now, maybe it's just a

497
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.239
bunch of Henderson's, but they are
with the transil I think it was the

498
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.039
Transylvania Company. And this land around
here actually used to be called Transylvania.

499
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.719
So I mean, how's that for
ironic? You know, jeez, wow,

500
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:40.360
that's weird man looking for monsters in
Transylvania. M That's that is crazy.

501
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.639
Was there ever a time that,
you know, I know you said

502
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:52.199
earlier that you earlier in all this
you guys were big Was there ever a

503
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:58.559
time when you're out looking for Bigfoot
that things just got to a point where

504
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.559
you're like, you know what,
I'm not sure if I want to be

505
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.559
right here right now, Like it's
just got a little bit too crazy.

506
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.599
Well, actually, there has been
a time or two like that over in

507
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.880
an Indian mound. It was I'm
still fairly fairly young at the time,

508
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:22.760
I was with my dad, um
fellow researcher his name is Jason Acy,

509
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:30.599
and my sister, and we're walking. It's on somebody's like around somebody's property,

510
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.559
like where they've built now, so
we can't really get to it as

511
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.880
well as we could years ago now. But we were crossing one of the

512
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:43.800
fields out there and there's a there
is a cave off on in the woods

513
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.880
somewhere over in that area, and
we're going to that cave. It's it's

514
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:52.639
a big rock face and it's it's
a pretty narrow gap that you can crawl

515
00:39:52.760 --> 00:40:00.400
into and it opens up, but
it's a fairly decent sized cave, but

516
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.920
it's it's a tight entrance in the
front, you know what I mean.

517
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:09.039
But anyway, we were going to
that cave and we spied some blue eyeshine

518
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.519
off in the woods, which there's
not really a lot of animals that give

519
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.960
off blue eyeshine. We had heard
that juvenile animals have a blue eyeshine color,

520
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:22.519
and we didn't know if maybe there's
some sort of a like a juvenile

521
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:24.559
sasquatch there. It is low to
the ground and there's kind of a ditch

522
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:30.239
behind where it was, and you
know, we shined at lights at it

523
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.000
and just kind of stared at it
for a few minutes, and then went

524
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:36.440
further off in the woods toward this
thing, well toward the cave my bad.

525
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.079
And we're walking along and I got
this audio somewhere. You hear just

526
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:46.480
something snapping. You can hear like
the individual fibers of the tree snapping,

527
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:52.480
and then boom, this tree just
slams on the ground. And I heard

528
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.039
something hollering. I don't think anybody
else with me heard it, but I

529
00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.119
heard it. And that was one
of the only times my dad is ever

530
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.079
drawn his gun in the woods.
He's like, yeah, Jason, you

531
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.800
and me, we can come back
if you want, but I need to

532
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:07.480
get my kids out of here.
You know this is this is dangerous,

533
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.599
and he had his gun out and
ready in case something, in case something

534
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.719
came out, but we left.
We didn't know if maybe we got too

535
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.519
close to its juvenile and it was
kind of letting us know he stay out

536
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.360
of here. But that's one of
the only times I've ever seen my dad

537
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:28.800
draw gun in the woods. And
we're not like pro kill people, but

538
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.320
you know, we're pro if something
at taxes, we're gonna we're gonna defend

539
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.039
ourselves, you know what I mean, You're pro I'm gonna get out of

540
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:40.400
this alive. If I have anything
to say about this, absolutely you can

541
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:44.000
attack me, but I'm gonna go
out fighting, you know what I mean.

542
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:45.480
That's right, that's right. I
don't know what your thoughts about this,

543
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.360
but it's like if someone actually,
you know, let's say these groups

544
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.519
where it's like we're gonna take down
a big Foot, Well, dude,

545
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:58.199
you might, but it's gonna be
the worst day you've ever experienced. After

546
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:04.360
you big Foot and the other three
come out just disgruntled as all get out,

547
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.199
And dude, you guys are going
like, I don't want to wish

548
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:10.800
bad on anyone, but he's just
like, man, you just be careful.

549
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:14.920
If you're going to take one down, you better be ready for its

550
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.400
brothers that are coming after you.
Well, you know, you got all

551
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.320
these stories of people shooting these things
and nothing happens, but you don't hear

552
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:28.039
a lot if if if people try
to shoot toward the face and eyes or

553
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:31.199
the neck. You know, if
I was going to try to shoot something

554
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.000
like that, I would aim for
probably either the neck, the mouth,

555
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.679
or the eyes. You know,
so the sensitive areas. That's interesting.

556
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:44.440
Yeah, that's very interesting. I've
yeah, I've never thought that deep about

557
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:49.880
it. I'm a I'm not a
a super outdoors man, if if you

558
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.840
can imagine, but uh, yeah, that's interesting to think. That's an

559
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:58.079
interesting discussion there. Well, if
you I mean, if you think about

560
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:00.440
it, if it was something,
you know, some sort of ape like

561
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.639
thing that's as massive as people say, you already got a lot of thick

562
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.079
muscle in its chest, and then
you got that thick chest bone that the

563
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:12.440
bullet would have to penetrate, and
if and if you aim for the head,

564
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.719
you know, if it's if it's
like an ape, you also have

565
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.119
a lot of apes have kind of
that thick brow that you'd have to worry

566
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:25.119
about as well. So you better
better be carrying something with some knockdown power,

567
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.880
you know, just something like that. I think we'll go to LBL

568
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:32.320
mare Night or something. Dude,
that is man, this has been a

569
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:40.079
a super fun discussion, I think
a good intro discussion to what what you

570
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:45.519
all are up to down there in
Tennessee. And guys, you need to

571
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:52.199
go over to Elijah's YouTube channel next
after you're done listening to this and you

572
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.159
just need to start watching some of
those videos because there's some wild, wild

573
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.679
stuff going on in there. Um, Elijah, thank you so much for

dog Man stuff, some LBL stuff that's

576
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.239
going to be for the Patreon after
show. I've got maybe some other questions,

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:21.760
ask you about some other non Bigfoot
relay creatures. Absolutely please take it.

578

We got a lot of different a
lot of different dog man research videos.

590
