down in Missouri regarding Bigfoot. But how's it going, Mike.

17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.320
Hey, it's going real good. I just appreciate you having

19
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.240
Absolutely, Mike, let's get right into it. I know you've

20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.319
got some interesting things to share, so I'm going to

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.319
go ahead and give the floor right over to you

22
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.200
and share with us what you've experienced so far, if

23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:12.760
you don't mind.

24
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:19.000
Well, my journey with this started in December of twenty nineteen.

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.159
That's as far as the journey of finding my first

26
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.879
pieces of Bigfoot evidence, and it kind of goes back

27
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.239
before then. I'm fifty fifty eight years old, so i'd

28
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.439
have been fifty four probably at that point, somewhere around there.

29
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.000
But I remember at age twelve checking out a book

30
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.959
from the library and reading it called On the Track

31
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.560
of Bigfoot, and that you know that stuff. You know,

32
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.120
that was published probably in the mid seventies, so that

33
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.239
kind of covered things up to that point what they

34
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.000
knew Carl Krue or Jerry crwe in the Footprints, Patterson

35
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.480
and Gimblin, things like that, and I thought, this is

36
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.560
kind of cool. It's a cool subject. There's probably something

37
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.479
to this, but it seems like everything is up in

38
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.439
the Pacific Northwest, and I just left it at that.

39
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.960
Then you get busy, you're playing sports in high school

40
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.360
and going to college and getting on with your family

41
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.680
and things like that, and totally ignored and forgot about

42
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.039
anything Bigfoot. It never crossed my mind again until these

43
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.039
cable TV shows started coming out, you know Monster Quest

44
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.280
that was that was one of the first ones I

45
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.039
started watching, you know, Finding Bigfoot, and they you know,

46
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.919
you watch those shows and they're made for TV, their

47
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:49.280
Hollywood entertainment. But then you're thinking that everybody is lying

48
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.240
about this stuff. There's got to be something to this,

49
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.280
you know, these guys really getting on TV and making

50
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.520
these stories up. And so had an interest peaked. And

51
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.919
then when my youngest of two kids, my son, when

52
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.680
he got through playing college baseball, and you know, we

53
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.120
were just a sports family. We were you know, daughter

54
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.520
swim meets his baseball games. You know that all that

55
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.560
stuff got done. He wanted to continue to have a

56
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.479
hobby that we could do together, and he suggested hunting

57
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.520
and fishing and things. You know, we didn't do a

58
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.360
lot of that because we were always doing the team

59
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.360
sports and things. So I said, yeah, cool, let's do that.

60
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.120
And in my in my county, Cape Girardo County, Cape Gerardo,

61
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.560
Missouri is where I live. We're about one hundred miles

62
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.159
south of Saint Louis on the Mississippi River. The big

63
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.479
conservation area in the north part of the county. I said, well,

64
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.560
that's public land. Let's go up there, get the hunt licenses,

65
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.439
and you know you're a little shooting, go up there

66
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.639
and check it out for some squirrel hunting. And came

67
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:06.879
across a set of footprints December twenty nineteen. These footprints

68
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.919
were seventeen and a half inches long. They were about

69
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.120
eight inches at the whitest part. They had about a

70
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.000
five foot stride length. We saw about four or five steps.

71
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.480
We saw right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot,

72
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.000
and you could clearly make that out toes And it

73
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.120
just floored me that I was looking at that, and

74
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.800
my son even knew what we were looking at. You know,

75
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.000
you just you do the math. No, who has feet

76
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.240
that bag in December in Missouri, It's going to be

77
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.600
walking barefoot? Nobody. We're both he's six', Six i'm six.

78
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.279
Five we both wear size fifteen, shoes and it just

79
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.800
swallowed our boots up And i'm, like it's got to be.

80
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.839
Bigfoot but who would have thought right? Here who would

81
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.480
have thought right here In Cape Girardal. COUNTY i never

82
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:08.639
would have thought, that never to believed. That and fast

83
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.680
forward that Was december twenty. Nineteen, well what happened In

84
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:18.360

89
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.199

00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.959

104
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.439

105
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.879
me or they would have done. It so you just

106
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.160
keep doing a little bit, more and then we, decided,

107
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.480
hey let's a couple of primitive camp sites up. There

108
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:40.959
let's camp, out pitch a, tent stay. Overnight AND i

109
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:48.439
remember the first the first few times we did. That

110
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.680
you get all these you, know and we did. That

111
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.040
we bought all the, spotlights the game, cams night, visions

112
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.120
all that, stuff set up a pre game cams and

113
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:07.160
we'd get, nothing and we get, nothing but we knew

114
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.680
they were there because we'd hear them in the. Distance

115
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:19.519
and then AS i started getting into these social media bigfoot,

116
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:24.199
networks you hear other people talk about maybe they've tried

117
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.720
a little bit. Differently SO i told one of my

118
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.120
buddies one, time let's just put all the cameras. Up

119
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.199
let's just put all that. Up let's just us and

120
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.639
whatever comes in, nothing nothing, lightwise but a. Campfire and

121
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.680
it was then when they started paying us closer. Visits

122
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.639
and that's, when you, know that's when we started having

123
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.639
some real cool moments and some, interactions and you, know

124
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.279
you you communicate back and forth with, one you, know

125
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.160
there was one THAT i got to wear WHEN i

126
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.160
would go out. There for about a six month, period

127
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.199
we would actually verbally communicate back and forth with each.

128
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.240
OTHER i think it was a. Female she'd stay in

129
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.959
the tree, line she wouldn't come out and expose, herself

130
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.160
but we had the verbal communication going and that went

131
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:20.040
on once a month for about six straight, months and

132
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:25.079
the communication would last sometimes ten fifteen, minutes and then you,

133
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.800
know then she'd go on her. Way and so we

134
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:37.679
had some real neat experiences and still later On i'll

135
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.399
share my latest experience with which is just, awesome but

136
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:47.080
the up. There and THEN i got to know some

137
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.720
folks that had some stuff going on on their property

138
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:57.840
two counties away and started working with. Them and that's

139
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.679
just been in the last year and two three months

140
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.320
that we've been doing, that AND i actually actually had

141
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.639
my first good siding at their. Place my first good

142
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.840
siding was back In december this. Year and that's when

143
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.440
you that's, When, okay everything that you've, studied everything that

144
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.759
you've interacted, with everything that you've dealt with in four

145
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.120
years now has finally come to. Truition Where i'm sitting

146
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.639
there looking in the eye of A sasquatch at about

147
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.399
forty yards and no mistake in what you're looking, at

148
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.679
and probably we probably looked at each other for about fifteen,

149
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:41.159
seconds AND i never felt any fear Because i've been

150
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.440
waiting for this for four. Years you, Know i've been

151
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.480
in amongst them for four, years and plus we run

152
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.159
the private property where the family has a relationship with.

153
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.799
Them SO i felt, like you, know this is. Cool

154
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.000
this is so. Cool you've exposed yourself to me and

155
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.840
let me see, you AND i think this is so

156
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.480
cool THAT i just kind of told him, That and

157
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.759
after about fifteen, seconds he gets kind of turned around

158
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.320
and mows it back into the. Woods he'd probably had

159
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.440
to be about ten foot. Tall the head and the

160
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.960
shoulders were so. Massive you, Know i'm six,' five a

161
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.960
little north of three, hundred pounds and it was just

162
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.159
it were three times of me at the head. And

163
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:19.120
shoulders it was really.

164
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:32.320
Really CRAZY so i have a few questions about. The

165
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.000
whole it sounds almost like a habituation type deal. Going

166
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.759
on there are a few counties over from where, you're

167
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.759
AT which i want listeners to. Realize That So, Cape

168
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:49.639
girardo missouri is in the, southeast corner so you're very

169
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:54.639
close To Southern Illinois little. Egypt, Area correct.

170
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.799
We're real close To The little. Egypt area the place

171
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.360
that we Researched At North. Cape county the conservation area

172
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.039
is really right Across The mississippi river From The Big.

173
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.919
Muddy river and everybody has heard Of The big muddy Monstery,

174
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.679
southern illinois so you Know The. Big buddy where, we

175
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.879
go it's about twenty miles North, of cape the north

176
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:21.440
side of, the county And The big money is just

177
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.799
Across The. Mississippi river and then we're In the, missouri

178
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.679
side and and, you know there's plenty of plenty of

179
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.240
sasquatches up there on both sides of. The river so

180
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.120
the that's the OTHER thing i found out is there

181
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:44.840
there are a lot more of these out there than people,

182
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:53.440
can imagine because exactly just in my, four years where

183
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.960
we Go In, north Cape Just North, Cape, county london

184
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:02.960
that one, conservation area seeing every size footprint increment from

185
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.919
ten inches to twenty. Four inches i've seen ten, inch footprints,

186
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.480
eleven inch, twelve inch, thirteen fourteen all the way up

187
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:17.000
to twenty. Four inches AND and i can take anybody

188
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.159
there's two places. UP there i can take anybody up

189
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.039
there on any given day and almost guarantee we'll find

190
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.919
footprints because it's it's travel ways.

191
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:38.000
For, and wow that's. That's incredible so the, Habituation Area

192
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.320
so i'm curious right off, the bat what kind of

193
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.000
you said that they are having some kind of interactions

194
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.039
or is it a gifting type situation or or what

195
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.279
a type of interactions is this family having With the

196
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.120
sasquatch on.

197
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.879
This, property okay, those guys those guys have got they've got,

198
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.320
a farm they've got a little, you know they grow.

199
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:08.960
Some produce they've got some greenhouses they've and its started

200
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.759
with them That the sasquatch was coming and raiding. The

201
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.279
greenhouses they didn't know what it was, at first and

202
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.919
they thought people were. Doing, that well we're going to get.

203
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.039
Those people, you know we're gonna, sit traps, you know

204
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.440
We're gonna well then they find out it's. Not people

205
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.440
uh or it could, be people depending on how you viewed,

206
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:40.720
the sasquatch but. They so and the one of the

207
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.840
young men with the family that kind of reached out

208
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.240
of one Of the facebook groups, LIKE hey i got

209
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:49.120
some stuff going, on here and a Couple Of Carter

210
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:56.120
carter bruschard. CONTACTED them i got with them and they

211
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.720
built a relationship with them and made my first visit

212
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.879
out on their property about a Year, ago JANUARY and,

213
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.960
i suggested in addition to what, they have because they

214
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:13.240
learned to share their vegetation with the With the, sasquatch

215
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.960
family that's UNDER and i kind, OF suggested, i, SAID look,

216
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.960
i said you got two. Options here you can run

217
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.840
them off and they could turn it right back around

218
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:26.279
and make your life miserable very, much so or you

219
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.159
could learn to live. With them and and the neat

220
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:34.080
thing was that they were That the sasquatch wasn't taking all.

221
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.360
Their stuff they're just taking portions of, it anyway and

222
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:45.200
they still had a. Fruitful farm AND then, i suggested

223
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.600
in addition to what, they're doing we set up a

224
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:53.679
gifting bucket and try a. Gifting program so and then.

225
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.879
We did we start That. Last January and i'd just

226
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:57.799
get the bucket and put the bucket up there at

227
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:03.440
the edge of the, woods there and, you know put apples,

228
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:09.559
in it and peanut butter jar, peanut butter, you know,

229
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:17.039
you know things of, that nature and and started getting some,

230
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.080
minie rest. You know they, of course they really enjoyed.

231
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.080
The apples and they didn't get apples at. The farm

232
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:28.759
they enjoyed the, peanut butter but they would take here's

233
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.799
the things we Started noticing.

234
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.159
Big for society will be right back after. These messages.

235
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.440
They would take the peanut, butter jar take it back

236
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.480
to the camp or wherever it is. They stayed and

237
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.399
then when the peanut butter jar was empty, and done

238
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:00.879
they'd bring it back and set it back in, the

239
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:08.240
bucket and we'd put some of those little sweet and

240
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.519
salty granola bars. On there they would tear open, the

241
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.200
wrapper take them out of, the wrapper and then they

242
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.159
would either put the wrapper back in the bucket or

243
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.200
they'd stick it up there in a nearby, tree limb

244
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.039
just so we could, see it so they're not littering.

245
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.080
The forest and then we come back up and check

246
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.080
either them. Or me we'd gather up. The wrappers they're all,

247
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:33.200
right there and, you know and properly. Trash them they

248
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.960
leave little glyphs. For us and one glyph was in

249
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:44.679
the shape of a human, stick figure and and and

250
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.000
and it had very. Positive interactions of course They were

251
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.000
i'd go up once every three or four weeks to

252
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.240
fill the bucket and, visit them and and they, YOU

253
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.360
know i wasn't seeing them they would, see them they

254
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.440
would have the interactions. With them they worked the farm,

255
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.120
every day and one OF the i think the oldest

256
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.919
kid in The big foot group would would and he

257
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.119
was probably about seven. Foot tall he would come down

258
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.359
and shadow him and watch him work at the farm,

259
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.519
and curious and, you know they're working the farm and

260
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:17.680

went on, with them and they got to where they

264
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.960
were fairly comfortable with. Each other and and BUT when

265

270
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:54.039
bucket Up in december is when finally the one exposed

271
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.839
itself TO where i could see one one of them

272
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:01.680
in the in the in that family and the one

273
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.279
of the farm owners had seen him up there in

274
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.599
the woods and was talking, to HIM and, i said do, you,

275
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:09.960
See yeah i'm finishing. The bucket and, she, said yeah,

276
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:11.240
she says come over and take. A LOOK and i

277
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.599
went over and took, a look and, sure enough and

278
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.519
she said there were two other the younger ones, with

279
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.680
him but they had gone into hiding by THE time

280
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.480
i got, over there and he was, you know we've

281
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.559
just sat there, and looked, you know about forty. Yards

282
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.920
AWAY and i said some real nice things, to, HIM

283
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.880
said i hope you appreciate, you know the treats and,

284
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.359
you know there for, you guys and he just kind

285
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.519
of swayed that head back and forth a, little bit

286
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.960
and about fifteen seconds he. Just turned he just kind

287
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.920
of walked back in wherever the young, ONES went, i

288
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.039
guess following him back into. The WOODS so i guess

289
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.039
he was coming, to, say hey, you know thanks for

290
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:47.720
the thanks for.

291
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:53.079
THE treats i, don't, know, so like there's been so

292
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.599
many years that you were getting into the subject and

293
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:01.799
then you finally have a visual, you, know sighting which

294
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.400
everyone wants to, have that and you know how how

295
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.920

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.599
you feeling inside when, You're like i'm actually finally able

297
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.599
to look AT one.

298
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.880
I, JUST felt, i mean my, feeling was this is,

299
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.160
so cool, you KNOW and i have at, This point

300
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.480

that i know was, a BIGFOOT but i COULDN'T just,

303
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.039
i mean it looked like a real dark shadow happened

304
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.839
from behind one tree to behind another tree at about

305
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:49.039
twenty five yards during the evening hours when it was almost,

306
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:57.519
you know. Pitch DARK now i could. See that and

307
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.000
then another time Over In madison county at, THE farm

309
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.880
yards just kind of you see. THE hipop i didn't

310
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:13.960

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.000
good sighting to. That moment and it was THAT moment,

316
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.279
i thought this is just, so cool. You know.

317
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.960
Was there anything that surprised you about what you were?

318
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.920
Looking at any details that, were, like wow this is,

319
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.480
a lot this is different THAN what i was expecting

320
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.759
Than what i've seen. IN pictures i.

321
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.799
Didn't realize, you know they Call him bigfoot for. A

322
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.799
reason i've seen the prints up to twenty. Four inches

323
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:02.519
this one's prince were about twenty Inches that i've seen,

324
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:09.559
multiple times which probably about ten. Foot tall and the

325
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:14.039
massive size of that head no neck going down into,

326
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.440
the shoulders and the conicle over the head was very

327
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:24.359
EXPOSED to i just didn't realize the width and the

328
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.200
size were just. That big, it's just, you know even

329
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.480
though you hear well ten, foot tall eight hundred pounds,

330
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:36.079
OR whatever i just seeing it brings out the light

331
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:42.279
that these things are really. Really huge and that's what,

332
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.400
you know no flab on them, at all, you know

333
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.160
everything is just, solid build. Body build.

334
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:58.319
So that's. That's interesting, SO yeah i guess go into

335
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:00.920
that a little bit. More so i'm guessing there was

336
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:04.200
some hair on. The creature, but yeah are you saying

337
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.279
that you could see things a seat under the hair?

338
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.279
As, well no because it was in the shade of

339
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:17.279
the forest at ABOUT forty i could see the, dark

340
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.839
HAIR and i could see some of the, FACIAL features,

341
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.519
i know the eyes and the nose that and you

342
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:26.279
can see it's kind of didn't have a lot of

343
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:31.160
hair on, that area but the rest of it you

344
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:35.319
just see because he Was on he was on all

345
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:37.640
fours at, the TIME and i could see him from

346
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.400
about to, chest UP so i didn't really see the

347
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:46.440
legs or or the length of. The arms but even on,

348
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.839
all fours he was almost looking me in. The Eye

349
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.839
and i'm six. Foot five and when he turned around,

350
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:56.680
and started he stayed on. ALL fours i could see

351
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.400
the BACK of i could see down he had a

352
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.240
little silverys shoved spot on, his back which they always

353
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.119
told me they Called him silverback because. Of THAT and

354
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.319
i could notice that is it lightened up on the

355
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.039
backside as he went in behind the so so that

356
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.519
was but it was just it was just so cool

357
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.720
looking at THAT and i. DIDN'T think, i, THOUGHT well

358
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.279
i just wanted to just. OBSERVED him i didn't walk in.

359
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.160
TOWARD him i didn't, you know some people may run

360
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.920
toward him to try to get a. BETTER look, I

361
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:36.839
thought i'm going to respect the situation and and appreciate.

362
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.039
The situation.

363
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.759
What what's the closest you think they've gotten To silver

364
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.559
back on? That property since there's a there's, a habituation

365
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:51.680
situation going on.

366
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.200
The closest they got the silver back is probably. That,

367
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:02.680
close uh it's it's, the kid, his kid the one

368
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:08.119
that's about he is about he's probably he's probably about

369
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.640
eight foot tall, by now but he's that they've actually

370
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.480
had physical contact with him as far as, reaching out

371
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:17.400
tapping the shoulder and things. Like that he's he gets

372
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.599
out acting with him and is playful. With him but you.

373
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:29.599
Know the SO so i can't that that's that's actually

374
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:30.799
something that doesn't.

375
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:35.519
COME up. I can't i can probably count the number

376
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.119
of times that's come up on this show on. One

377
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.119
hand so you're saying there's situations in that where they

378
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:48.759
are actually touching, the well like. Tapping, out, Yeah.

379
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.559
Yeah like he'll he'll come up if he's if if

380
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.000
my buddy who's working the greenhouse and he's a, young

381
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.559
adult he's probably close to thirty, years old but he's working.

382
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:06.440
A greenhouse the juvenile sometimes if he's getting wood or,

383
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.440
you know he'll, come up sneak up, behind him tap

384
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.039
him on, the shoulder and then jump back about six or.

385
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.079
Seven feet he turned around there, He, is, OH sorry.

386
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.039
I misunderstood you're saying the juvenile is tapping him on.

387
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:18.160
The.

388
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.160
Shoulder. Yeah yeah but the juveniles about about seven eight,

389
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.880
foot tall though he's he's a he's a, good size,

390
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:32.119
you know like. A teenager and he'll he'll be inside

391
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.480
the greenhouse and working the greenhouse. At night the juvenile

392
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.519

he's had very very. Close interactions so.

395
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.079
It's like there's two ways you could. TAKE that, i

396
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.759

457
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:33.000
So you know you, mentioned earlier so you're in the

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.920
Area Of murphy's, burrow, then yeah.

459
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.160
We're Right murphy's burrow is probably across the river in

460
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.599
thirty miles to, the north maybe something.

461
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:53.119
Like, that yeah and it's it's that's such a fun

462
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.079
story from nineteen. Seventy three, oh, yeah listeners if you

463
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.480
don't know About The Big, muddy monster there's a great

464
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.079
doc there's a great documentary, out there there's a. Great

465
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.240
book now there's. A festival i gotta get. Down THERE it's,

466
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.319
I mean i can drive. Down there it's probably seven

467
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.240
eight hours From where i'm At. In IOWA but i

468
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.640
hear it's a. Great one but have you ever, YOU know,

469
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.480
i MAN if i was, Down there i'd, be like

470
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:22.240
what if like The same bigfoot is somehow connected to

471
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:24.720
like The stuff. I'm researching that'd, be.

472
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:36.519
Wild, man yeah, you know Are they are they? The same?

473
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.680
TO me i think there's just, different groups. DIFFERENT plans

474
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.759
i think they got clans. Over there they got clans.

475
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:46.119
Over here big for society will be right back after.

476
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:47.400
THESE messages.

477
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.079
I don't think they're using the river and go back

478
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:07.359
and forth, or anything but they. COULD be i, don't

479
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:10.200
know but there's just, to me the evidence shows that

480
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:16.680
there's plenty of them in certain. Areas NOW and i

481
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:22.119
another spot Over In madison County that i've had some

482
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.200
activity is another person's. Private property and that's, you know,

483
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.720
you know we sat THERE and i sat there, one

484
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.960
night and you know we had the eye shine of three,

485
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.200
of them, you know within thirty yards, of us and

486
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:41.039
and and just. Watching that, you know somebody told me

487
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:43.880
a few, years ago just you don't have to go

488
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:51.200
stretching through. The woods just build you, a fire enjoy each,

489
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:55.119
other's company. Their curiosity they'll come and check. You out

490
00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:59.519
and that has worked for me better than anything as

491
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.000
far as gets.

492
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:00.119
The.

493
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:12.519
Interactions absolutely and so let's say you were moving move

494
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.640
into a, new area and you were you, were like,

495
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.319
YOU know i got to find. The places what are

496
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:20.839
the first steps that you would take to try to figure,

497
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:22.960
out like what are The areas i'm going to start

498
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.839
to look into to see if there's big? Foot activity

499
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.119
WHAT what i DO is i get.

500
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.400
On The google earth and look At the Google earth maps,

501
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:39.119
topographical MAPS and i look where there's water. And cover

502
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:44.200
and if there's water, and cover you're more than likely

503
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:48.920
going to find. Bigfoots now and you don't have to

504
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:54.599
be too far away from. The population you. Can be

505
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.160
they're not always out in the middle. Of Nowhere and

506
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.759
i'll give you a case. In point, YOU know i started.

507
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.920
This journey my sister got involved in it. With me

508
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.200

544
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.639
let's take a drive down to the parking, lot There

545
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:26.400
To katie trail and the, conservation area and we'll, just

546
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:33.159
listen just sit and listen for the night and see what.

547
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:39.840
WE hear i had. NO idea i hadn't had any

548
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:47.360
other a bigfoot activity in that area except for a

549
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.960
STORY that i knew from about forty five. Years ago

550
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.039
and we didn't even know it was bigfoot. Back then

551
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:58.800
we just thought this, guy's crazy but we knew he

552
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:05.199
was something that, scared. Him right and so we go

553
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:10.000
down there and we park and. We're talking the last

554
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.039
cyclist is it's starting to. Get dark last cyclist it

555
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.559
gets done riding the bike on that portion of, the

556
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.800
trail gets in. His truck and when that, last cyclist

557
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.480
when that truck pulls out of the, parking lot up

558
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.159
on the ridge in, the woods we hear distinct two.

559
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:35.639
Tree knocks and my dad. Heard that he said that

560
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:41.679
was two. TREE knocks, i, said yeah, It was, HE said.

561
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:43.440
I.

562
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:47.480
SAID maybe, i said my guess is it's signaling the

563
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:52.119
rest of them in the woods that the bicyclists are gone.

564
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:53.679

county right along, the river this is. So cool i've

789
00:51:58.639 --> 00:52:01.159

790
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:03.119
WITH this i had a SIGHTING when i was, a

791
00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:07.639
KID and i haven't been able to talk to anybody

792
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:14.920

797
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:36.599
so many people out there that have had that encounter

798
00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:40.480
and they've got nobody to share it with because their

799
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:44.519
initial sharings. Were, Discounted.

800
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:48.760

telling the story because.

804
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:04.440
It's true, And yeah that is so cool that, you're

805
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.239
able you were able to take some kids out from

806
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:10.239
the school and kind of open open their eyes to

807
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:13.320

wanted to. Ask you, you know you might have an

809
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.079
interesting viewpoint of this because you have had, that visual,

810
00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:25.000
you know face. To face it's a it's a, basic

811
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:29.199
question but so what what do you think bigfoot is

812
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.440
if you had? To, categorize.

813
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:39.039
Well you hear a lot of talk about that, The

814
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:46.639
spiritually I'm A christian christian BELIEF and i believe like

815
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.599
us that they are Part of. God's creation now to

816
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.760
what extent they? Were created some, people, say, well biblically

817
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:58.159
it's From the nephilim and This dead. I'm not i'm

818
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:03.679
not going to, discount that except for the only thing

819
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:07.159
that makes me question that is the neph of them

820
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:12.199
were fallen angels and demonic and all, that stuff and

821
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:16.079
these things have been nothing but nice, to me total

822
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:19.719
the total opposite of what you'd expect, from demons if.

823
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:23.559
You will all my experience has been. Real CHILL and

824
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:26.280
i know people been bluffed by son was bluff, Charged

825
00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:28.239
ONCE but I know i know that's that's out. There

826
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:34.079
too and But but i've to me That's where i'm at.

827
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:41.599
With IT but i also know My Buddy tom cantrell

828
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:48.639
uh said they're flesh and blood and. Something else there's

829
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:51.119
something else going on with. Him too, HE says i

830
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.239
don't know. Exactly WHAT and i kind of agree with

831
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:56.880
him on that BECAUSE because i.

832
00:54:57.039 --> 00:54:57.360
HAVE it.

833
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.199
I don't have the evidence that there're, you know some, people,

834
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:04.440
say well they're part of an, alien group or they

835
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.400
can just disappear in the. THIN air i haven't. Witnessed

836
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:11.239
that i'm not going to discount somebody else's story because people.

837
00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:15.360
Discounted mind i'm just going BY what i have learned in.

838
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:20.760
Four years and AND but i do know on three,

839
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:26.199
different occasions three times in my LIFE have i, seen

840
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:29.800
orbs and all three of those times were in the

841
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:33.719
Presence of. Bigfoot Activity but i've been in the presence

842
00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:36.519
of bigfoot activity multiple times where there were. No orbs

843
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:39.920
so do they have something to do with? Each other,

844
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:46.000
they might, you know but they don't all. The time,

845
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.880
SO yeah i just try to as, AN educator i

846
00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:54.679
just try to try to be common sense. About things.

847
00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:59.719
Exactly the orbs that, you saw were they a certain

848
00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:05.280
or shape or size or well the one the one

849
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:08.119
TIME and i got a picture, of it of.

850
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:10.559
The orb it actually if you blow the, orb up

851
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:12.519
you see the big, foot behind, you know right there WITH.

852
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.840
THE orb i got gun on, MY phone i could

853
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:21.000
text it. To you but the but that. Was green

854
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:26.679
the other two times the orbs were clear black light

855
00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:30.239
bulb like like a white light like. White lights so.

856
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.519
It's it's, really interesting. You know i've gotten more and

857
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:42.800
more accounts over THE last i would say. SIX months

858
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:47.159
i think people are starting to get not as scared

859
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:50.159
to talk ABOUT the. ORB thing i think.

860
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:50.800
IT might.

861
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:56.599
I think people are starting to accept. IT more i

862
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:00.559
think back in, the day they're, you, know yeah people

863
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:05.599
bring and it's and it's like the, mind Speak because.

864
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:11.039
I've been i've communicated with them, multiple times but not through.

865
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:15.280
MINE speak, I talked i Talk, in english and they

866
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:21.840
well vocalized back. To me sometimes it's, a grunt sometimes

867
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.800
it's a. Little gibberish sometimes it's JUST that i might

868
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:26.760
get an a'll call back from him or something, like

869
00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:31.360
that or or whoop, or so and then we'll go back.

870
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:35.159
AND forth i don't know that they Know what. I'M

871
00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:37.280
saying i don't know what, they're SAYING but I but

872
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:39.440
i can tell that we're on friendly terms with, each

873
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:39.920
other you.

874
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.079
Know Exactly.

875
00:57:43.199 --> 00:57:49.440
But i've got one of my research guys says that

876
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:52.039
he'd had some mind speaking activity with him and told

877
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:54.199
me what they said to him and told me what he,

878
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:57.440
You Know and, i'm like my first thought four years

879
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:02.159
ago was. You're CRAZY but i don't think that Anymore

880
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:05.039
because i've talked to enough people that have had those

881
00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:08.639
experiences THAT that i think there's something. To THAT but

882
00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:10.920
i don't think everybody has THAT experience. I did i

883
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:14.840
haven't had, that Experience but i've talked to enough people,

884
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:21.760
that have and and so, You know i'm not. Discounting

885
00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:25.679
it and and that's part. Of that there's something else,

886
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.400
going on. You know i've had people that have been

887
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:33.000
hit with the infra sound that have told me what that.

888
00:58:33.239 --> 00:58:38.079
Was like i'd never been hit, with IT so, i can't.

889
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:43.119
You KNOW and i was as CLOSE to i had

890
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:45.119
one outside of my tent door, one day and we

891
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:47.119
were on more than five or six. Feet apart it

892
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:52.280
was just a tent wall, separate us and and and that.

893
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:59.559
Was interesting that was that was that was two, Years

894
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.599
ago april two Years, ago april we were camping and

895
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.079
My buddy BILL and i and he had a friend

896
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:09.360
who was a. Total skeptic the three of us were

897
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:12.280
camping and we were in the tent and we hadn't

898
00:59:12.360 --> 00:59:15.199
really had a. Whole lot, we were, you know getting

899
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.159
in there for, the night and it had, been raining

900
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:21.480
and it had, been cloudy so the lighting was not

901
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:24.360
good because it was cloud covers keeping the moonlight from.

902
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:28.880
Being There and BILL and i had both, fallen asleep

903
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:35.199
and the FIRST sound i heard was a foot. Crunching

904
00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:39.239
gravel there was a little gravel Drive where bill had his.

905
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:42.320
Truck parked AND when i heard the foot crunch, THE

906
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:46.400
gravel i. Woke up AND when i, woke up our

907
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:51.039
skeptical buddy was sitting up in his cot and he

908
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.719
was on high alert and he looked like, he was,

909
00:59:55.119 --> 01:00:00.800
you know and we. Stayed quiet next step crunches. The

910
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:02.280
gravel next step crunches.

911
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:05.320
The gravel Big for society will be. Right back after.

912
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:06.639
These messages.

913
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:25.000
We had a tarp out in front of our tent

914
01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.639
because to keep them keeping from tracking mud into the

915
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:30.920
tent because it had. Been raining and the next step

916
01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.400
is on, the tarp and the next step is on,

917
01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:36.719
the tarp so he's got two feet in. The tarp

918
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:38.079
he is right there on the other side of the

919
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:42.079
tent wall. FROM us I know i know what it

920
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:47.079

At, all well we got a young man who is,

958
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.159
h well he came to our group as a. Total

959
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:18.280
skeptic come to a couple of one of our meetings

960
01:03:18.320 --> 01:03:20.760
when was, You know susan advertised, these meetings who you

961
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:25.800
have a quarterly, Luncheon somewhere and he camped with us

962
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:30.639
one night and he had a, little individual one person

963
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:34.320
tent that he set up about twenty yards from the,

964
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:41.360
other tents and he had the strings and. The, tent

965
01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:53.480
okay the strings he said something was like picking the

966
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:59.519
string like. A, guitar yeah ding ding ding at. Night

967
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.639
overnight and, he didn't, he SAID because i thought maybe

968
01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:06.840
it's just the wind or the wind's not going to,

969
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:12.639
do that, you know on those. Ten STRINGS and, i

970
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:14.920
says probably there's probably a big foot to come in

971
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:17.320
and because there's no other animals just gonna sit there

972
01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:19.599
and do that to the string while you're in. There

973
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:23.519

1002
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:07.719
and i, was like, you know texting. DIFFERENT people i

1003
01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:11.280
was in my tent, by myself, AND uh i was

1004
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:15.639
texting random people, and Uh and shannon, was like you

1005

i would have, done it because it's like you but

1010
01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.400
that kind of can set off a lot of things

1011
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:34.400
that can set off actual predators, As well so maybe

1012
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:35.280
want to be careful.

1013
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:38.159
Of that, but well you know THAT'S why. I don't

1014
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:40.360
i try not to yell and do all, that stuff,

1015
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:43.440
YOU know i try not to do that because you

1016
01:06:43.480 --> 01:06:47.559
don't know what. You're communicating you don't know what else you're,

1017
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:53.039
setting off, you know things Like THAT bill I. Mentioned

1018

1020
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.800
we're setting in for the evening for we were hoping

to have some good activity With the sasquatches and about

1022
01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:12.920
some people pulled up to. Hunt coons they had, a

1023
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:18.000
couple but two three coon hounds got down in those,

1024
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:20.119
you know started going down into those woods and they

1025
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:22.480
were in our vicinity and you can hear those. Hounds

1026
01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:31.360
YEP and, i, thought well there goes. Our NIGHT and

1027
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:36.719
i guess at some point into their, coon hunt we heard,

1028
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:43.320
the loudest the loudest bigfoot roar that we had. Ever

1029
01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:49.119
HEARD and, i mean this was your ohio howell, on

1030
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:52.280
steroids if you're if, you're right if you're there at,

1031
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:57.360
the time and we never heard another yep out of those,

1032
01:07:57.440 --> 01:07:58.400
coon HOUNDS.

1033
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:01.159
And I was i was kind of.

1034
01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:05.880
GET worried, i thought these, these dogs. You know and

1035
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:08.840
then about ten, minutes later you can hear the hunters

1036
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:11.119
throwing these coon dogs in the back of their truck

1037
01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:13.360
and then, you know peeling out of the gravel getting out.

1038
01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:17.840
Of THERE and, I thought I wish i knew who those.

1039
01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:20.680
Guys were i'd love to talk to them tomorrow and,

1040
01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:25.479
find out. You know but and then my next, THOUGHT

1041
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:32.000
was i Hope the bigfoot doesn't associate us with being the,

1042
01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:35.760
coon hunters right because we're up there in. The tent, we're,

1043
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:40.840
vulnerable right, some, thinking oh you know you start. Praying, That,

1044
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:48.640
yeah well about an hour later we hear from out,

1045
01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:50.359
you know we're in. The tent it's, you know we're

1046
01:08:51.079 --> 01:08:54.840
we hear and this. Is instance we hear a hoodoo

1047
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:03.159
immediately followed by a little updown whistle and then some.

1048
01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:08.279
Rock clicking its sounded like, rock clicking whodo up, down

1049
01:09:08.359 --> 01:09:11.960
whistle rock, clicking huda, updown whistle, rock clicking and this is,

1050
01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:15.079
going on and they're probably about forty yards from the

1051
01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:19.399
tent and we're. Hearing That, THEN bill, I, SAID bill,

1052
01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:25.840
I said i think they're talking to us some way.

1053
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:30.880
Or another bill's a. Good whistler so when they got

1054
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:34.159
to the, updown whistle he replied with an. Updown whistle

1055
01:09:35.239 --> 01:09:37.479
then the whodow and the rock. Clicker quit they just

1056
01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:41.119
they started whistling back and forth to each other and

1057
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:46.119
this is. Going, on yeah, whistle, whistle. Whistle WHISTLE and,

1058
01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:49.520
i said and this IS when i got. THE guts,

1059
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:51.319
i said let's let's walk outside.

1060
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:51.840
The tent.

1061
01:09:53.399 --> 01:09:56.920
This is. So cool let's walk outside. The tent so

1062
01:09:57.039 --> 01:09:58.560
we walked outside.

1063
01:09:58.239 --> 01:09:58.800
The tent and.

1064
01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:01.520
They continued, he whistled, he whistled. He whistled here they

1065
01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:03.840
go back. And forth they're down there and they're getting.

1066
01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:06.319
The Trees and, i'm thinking, come on, you know just

1067
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:10.680
come out and show yourself, to us and would. Do

1068
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:16.880
it and finally the. Whistling stopped, AND okay i guess

1069
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:18.479
they're not going to show themselves. To us so we

1070
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:22.680
so we go back into, the tent zip it, back

1071
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:27.079
up lay, back down and then once we're settled into.

1072
01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:30.920
The tent, behind us there's a gravel, parking lot and

1073
01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:32.520
all of a sudden you can hear them walking across

1074
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:34.279
the gravel park lot on the other side of, our

1075
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:38.079
trucks step, step step step, step step going off to where,

1076
01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:45.520

01:10:58.039 --> 01:11:01.079
me think. Of, Something uh and so THE question i,

1080
01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:05.199
have is have you heard of any situations where sasquatch

1081
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:10.560

Yeah i'll talk about a Couple OF like, i say

1083
01:11:24.399 --> 01:11:26.359
this is the conservation area that we, go to and

1084
01:11:26.359 --> 01:11:28.720
of course it's surrounded by farms and people that just

1085
01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:30.520
have property and want to be out in the middle

1086
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:33.039
of nowhere. Or whatever and there's not a lot of population,

1087
01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:40.319
up there twenty miles North of cape and these guys

1088
01:11:41.399 --> 01:11:46.840

there he says he didn't get hit by a car

1104
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:04.359

get hit by. A car and, you know he said.

1107
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:11.760
It was. It was it would have been down there in,

1108
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.560
the bottoms, he is what would have? Done that because

1109
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:18.199
there's no teeth marks, on it because there's no scratch marks.

1110
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:20.600
On it the wouldn't been a. Mountain lion, you know

1111
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:23.720
we do have mountain lions. THERE too i saw one

1112
01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:28.479
a couple of. Years ago what would have? DONE that, I,

1113
01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:40.199
SAID well, i said, PROBABLY bigfoot, i said because whatever

1114
01:13:40.359 --> 01:13:45.399
the bigfoot was doing causing the horses, to react causing

1115
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:47.520
the dog. To react, they thought they don't want their,

1116
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:51.880
cover blown so let's eliminate what's blowing. The cover probably.

1117
01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:56.840
A bigfoot they're. Out here he didn't.

1118
01:13:56.880 --> 01:13:57.119
Know that.

1119
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:06.960
And in, another situation and my son was. He was

1120
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:09.479
he was actually the first one to find the tracks

1121
01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:14.199
that first Day in december. Twenty nineteen he's in. The

1122
01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:17.079
hunting he would go up to that same conservation area In,

1123
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:18.760
deer HUNT and.

1124
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:21.960
I, remember this.

1125
01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:26.840
And he knows bigfoot s r up there because we,

1126
01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:32.359
had interactions but he still go up there and deer and.

1127
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:35.039
Other People deer hunt's not, like people don't, you know

1128
01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:39.159
they're not up there, killing, hunters right and they know

morning where they were where they wanted, to be and

1171

head lamp to get into his place and, pitch dark

1175
01:17:48.680 --> 01:17:52.880

01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:40.239
Start roaming that's how sophisticated of a system they've. Got

1298
01:25:40.319 --> 01:25:43.279
going and if they've got to go In In Cape,

1299
01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:45.000
gerudal county they've got to go on all over.

1300
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:48.119
The, country absolutely that's.

1301
01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.199
How they thrive and and that's how they thrive, and

1302
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:53.039
survive and that's how people hunt without knowing they're. Out, THERE.

1303
01:25:54.399 --> 01:25:57.479
Yeah i mean it reminds me of What The olympic

1304
01:25:57.560 --> 01:26:03.319
Project in, washington says, You Know, Chris Spencer. Shine corson

1305
01:26:03.439 --> 01:26:06.239
they say that you're going to catch a lot of

1306
01:26:06.319 --> 01:26:09.039
stuff when you get right out of, Your vehicles so

1307
01:26:09.159 --> 01:26:12.279
you better have a sound recorder going because that's when

1308
01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:15.039
you're going to, hear like oh they're. Back again, you know,

1309
01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:18.640
it's crazy, you know and.

1310
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:21.640
They've got there what do you, call them, day watchers

1311
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:23.840
whatever you want to. Call them they are transitioned at

1312
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:28.920
certain areas and, you know and they're going to keep

1313
01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:29.840
an eye, on things.

1314
01:26:31.560 --> 01:26:32.319
And and.

1315
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:36.640
And but they they they've got that, going on and

1316
01:26:36.720 --> 01:26:39.760
they and they learned to coexist with, the hunters and

1317
01:26:39.800 --> 01:26:46.680
that's that's why they're, You KNOW and i tell, the,

1318
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:48.720
hunters well like my, son is you're not going to

1319
01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:51.880
shoot your way out of it unless you absolutely, HAVE to.

1320
01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:56.920
I said but at the, same time they know that

1321
01:26:57.079 --> 01:26:58.600
you've got, a gun so they don't want you to

1322
01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:00.960
shoot your way out. Of it, You, know.

1323
01:27:02.520 --> 01:27:03.880
Yeah absolutely.

1324
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:05.159
To.

1325
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:10.399
The side if there's a CONSERVATION officer dnr, or whatever

1326
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:14.399

01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:29.399
talked to a lot of people. Off Record, but mike

1332
01:27:29.520 --> 01:27:34.680
have you have you heard of any situations where it

1333
01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:39.560
could be like a bigfoot related to like a missing

1334
01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:41.800
four one one, type thing or like you could have

1335
01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:45.640
been responsible for a person that was missing or anything.

1336
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:51.720
Like that they had a situation about a year and

1337
01:27:51.760 --> 01:27:55.159
a half ago down here In southeast missouri where a

1338
01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:59.880
deer hunter went missing and he Was down he Was,

1339
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:04.239
from sikeston which is thirty miles south. Of me but

1340
01:28:04.359 --> 01:28:07.520
he was over In The mark twain area over in

1341
01:28:08.760 --> 01:28:12.720
east probably west Of, Paper bluff uh down there Around

1342
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:18.960
The current river in, that area and he went missing

1343
01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:24.000
and they found him dead a couple of days later

1344
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:35.079
when they went when he, went missing here's here's here's

1345
01:28:35.079 --> 01:28:42.039
what's strange. About this they searched the area and they

1346
01:28:42.119 --> 01:28:51.720
found his rifle and he wasn't there when they the

1347
01:28:51.800 --> 01:28:55.399
next day as they're searching, the area his body was

1348
01:28:55.560 --> 01:29:00.880
back at the place where they found. His rifle and

1349
01:29:02.119 --> 01:29:07.640
a lot, of people, you know speculating bigfoot, got him bigfoot,

1350
01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:13.439
got him bigfoot. Got him and my theory on, THAT

1351
01:29:13.760 --> 01:29:17.720
was i don't. THINK so i don't know what. Got

1352
01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:20.119
him but he may just had a he made just

1353
01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:24.920
he may just had a, heart attack and, YOU know

1354
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:29.560
i don't know what caused. His death they may have

1355
01:29:31.079 --> 01:29:33.840
something may have taken, him somewhere because he wasn't there

1356
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:35.760
where the rifle. WAS at i don't know why he

1357
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:36.920
would have left his rifle, to go.

1358
01:29:37.479 --> 01:29:37.680
You know.

1359
01:29:40.279 --> 01:29:47.039
And when they found the body where the rifle was the,

1360
01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:52.560
next day my guess is it possibly a bigfoot brought

1361
01:29:52.640 --> 01:29:54.680
him back to that spot knowing they were going to

1362
01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:57.119
look you know that that's an area they were looking

1363
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:01.720
because the last Thing the sasquatch once is a bunch

1364
01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:10.680
of law enforcement officials scoring through. THEIR territory i would

1365
01:30:10.760 --> 01:30:16.479
think So they i'm thinking my theory is they brought the.

1366
01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:19.640
Body back there's. YOUR body i don't know what. Caused

1367
01:30:19.680 --> 01:30:22.239
it maybe, they did maybe, They did maybe he was ready.

1368
01:30:22.279 --> 01:30:24.880
TO shoot i don't know if it was if it

1369
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:27.640
was bigfoot that got him. OR not i, had it

1370
01:30:27.760 --> 01:30:30.600
had heard me all the details since, then on that's

1371
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:36.560
been kind of, hushed, up right but but so so

1372
01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:40.600
it's it's it's. It's sketchy, you know nobody really knows.

1373
01:30:40.680 --> 01:30:42.920
For sure but somehow that body got back to where

1374
01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:44.119
that gun. Was at they wasn't there the.

1375
01:30:44.199 --> 01:30:50.199
Day before that's a, tricky situation. For sure you Hear

1376
01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:54.239
in oklahoma a lot of but there's a few instances of,

1377
01:30:56.119 --> 01:30:59.840
you know bigfoot trying to get into houses or becoming.

1378
01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:02.119
Extremely aggressive is that a thing that you guys have

1379
01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:06.319
to deal with down In In? Southeast, MISSOURI ever i

1380

He's done a documentary On This GRAND tower ufo thing

1427
01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.239
from about fifty years ago over In, so illinois which

1428
01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:55.279
is a big buddy area across where research and we

1429
01:33:56.319 --> 01:33:59.600
we Saw what i'm just going, to say it WAS

1430
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:02.039
a u foe because we couldn't identify it as anything

1431
01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:04.199
else in the sky one night when we were up

1432
01:34:04.239 --> 01:34:08.319
there and that thing was doing all kinds of things

1433
01:34:08.359 --> 01:34:11.479
that that aren't know any aircraft that we know, anything

1434
01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:17.079
about and and so we just so he'd found out he,

1435
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:19.840
WOLDN'T know. I couldn't he is down to doing. SOME

1436
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:21.479
interviews i was out of town when he. Did that

1437
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.600
but the he's putting his. Documentary together MY buddies i

1438
01:34:24.640 --> 01:34:28.960
think interviewed. With him but THE but i did talk

1439
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:30.720
to him on. THE phone, i said THAT'S what. I saw,

1440
01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:33.840
I said i can tell you it was related to aliens,

1441
01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:35.640
or NOT but i did see something in the sky

1442
01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:39.000
that was not a normal thing in. The sky and

1443
01:34:40.119 --> 01:34:45.880
so but that, Stuff, is yeah that, stuff is. You

1444
01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:49.520
know and and IF like, i said If if bigfoot

1445
01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:52.239
is Real and bigfoot is in the abundance that they

1446
01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:56.760
are in in, this COUNTRY which, i believe if they,

1447
01:34:56.760 --> 01:34:59.600
were recognized there's more, than enough they would not be

1448
01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:05.199
in a new dangered, Species list and nobody knows. About

1449
01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:07.279
That and i'm Not gonna i'm not gonna say these.

1450
01:35:07.319 --> 01:35:09.720
Other things aren't we going? To do there's no telling what's.

1451
01:35:09.800 --> 01:35:10.279
Out THERE.

1452
01:35:11.800 --> 01:35:17.000
So i got one last question. For you, you know

1453
01:35:17.119 --> 01:35:20.520
you're hearing a lot of accounts and stories in, Your.

1454
01:35:21.039 --> 01:35:27.079
Corner missouri do you ever hear any accounts or sightings

1455
01:35:27.399 --> 01:35:29.960
of non bigfoot creatures in.

1456
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:38.640
THE area i haven't heard anything related in our area to.

1457
01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:43.399
Dog man probably the closest thing related to, THAT well,

1458
01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:47.279
i mean what's? His name put out a, documentary recently

1459
01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:50.279
My friend Miguel with sasquatch theory.
