1
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.360
I was like, did you notice anything about the face?
2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.880
And she's like, it was weird because I was looking
3
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.240
at the face, but like I couldn't see it because
4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.440
it was all blurry and like everything was together. But
5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.120
I was like, oh, that's so. It was kind of
6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.760
like she was having a hard time describing it, but
7
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.120
she used the actual words like it looked blurry in
8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.440
the face, a blurred face, brown around the face, facial
9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.719
hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very very
10
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:39.799
weird stuff. They go to open the door, the dog
11
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.280
starts freaking out lunges towards the tree line in the
12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.840
back of the house, and the guy looks out there
13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.719
and he's like, he's like, I can see something in
14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.600
the back tree line and it's a dark, shadowy figure
15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.320
and it's big. And I'm like, he says, you know,
16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.079
I got bare on my property and I was like, well, well,
17
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.159
how did you know it wasn't a bearer, sir, And
18
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.319
he's like, there's no bear around here that are nine
19
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:07.200
to ten feet tall.
20
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.040
Bigfoot's on the move. He's out there, he's hanging out
21
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.000
in Ohio. And today we're bringing on Jeremiah Byron from
22
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.159
Bigfoot Society who's been hot on the trail and getting
23
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.719
hundreds of emails from people. New York Times even called
24
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.959
them Luke, and Babylon Be made a meme about it.
25
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.640
The guy is out there living the dream and it's
26
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.840
cool that he's dedicated lane into the Bigfoot space. So
27
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.040
we're gonna bring him on and we're gonna ask him
28
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.879
all the questions what's going on Ohio because a lot
29
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.079
of our listeners are like, you need to do something,
30
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.920
what's the news? But he's got all the the uh,
31
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.120
he's got a map on his website, he's got everything
32
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.040
ready to go. So, Luke, what is it? Breaking news
33
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.560
doesn't happen?
34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.359
This is like breaking news, And we have to talk
35
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.439
to the guy that really put the put the dots
36
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.200
on the map and and and launched the story talking
37
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.239
to New York Times, talking to Fox News, talking to
38
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.439
all these major news outlets and in the whole world
39
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.560
is like, look at this going what's going on in Ohio? Yeah?
40
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.199
And why why are we having these this string of
41
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.599
sightings of Bigfoot? And so we're gonna get into it
42
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.360
today with the guy that's that's boots on the ground,
43
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.280
that's making the reports, draw on the maps and and
44
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:25.879
has really broke the story.
45
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.199
We're gonna do a Blurry Bigfoot Society crossover, so right,
46
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.599
if you like it, you know, join join each side
47
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.240
and get blurry, or you can get get get in
48
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.280
the Bigfoot Society and and learn a lot more about
49
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:38.840
the big fella.
50
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.039
But he's out there, baby, let's roots. This show started
51
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:45.560
with Bigfoot and we're going right back.
52
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.120
Baby, Let's get him on and figure out what's going
53
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:57.479
on in Ohio. We have Jeremiah Byron on and we're
54
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.400
gonna ask him the first question, Jeremiah, is this Heaven.
55
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.639
Or is this Iowa? What up? Guys? Glad to be here.
56
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.080
It's Iowa.
57
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.520
But thank you for reaching out and being like, hey,
58
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.319
can we do something? And I'm like, yeah, we can
59
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.280
do something because man, Nate, we were just talking like
60
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.280
we talked like nine hundred episodes ago on the Big
61
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.000
for Society podcast and like, Luke, it's great to meet
62
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.159
you finally, So good to be here. Man.
63
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.960
It's a meeting of the minds. Dude, welcome to beautiful.
64
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.120
And we started with Bigfoot and we're going back, So
65
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.039
tell us what's going on? What are your thoughts on Bigfoot?
66
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.000
But you have probably more thoughts than most.
67
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.719
I have a lot of thoughts. Well, I look at
68
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.680
a few different ways, guys. So you know, with my
69
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.520
podcast big for Society, like why I do it is
70
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.759
I provide a place for people to share their encounters
71
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.280
and work through it and kind of get through that trauma.
72
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.960
But over the last few years, like I have gotten
73
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.400
out in the woods and myself and like things have
74
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.719
gotten weird and they've gotten blurry and dudes, like, I
75
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.719
don't know what it is out there, but like there
76
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.520
is something. I think how I view it is it's
77
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.159
a physical creature because I've seen the tracks. I've seen
78
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.719
something that peeled a banana that was left in the
79
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.120
woods at thirty miles out in Oregon and then it
80
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.360
ate it and left a seventeen inch track near the tree.
81
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.879
And like I've seen some blurry stuff, dude, So I
82
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.120
think it's like some kind of physical creature that can
83
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.560
just do some quantum science. I don't know what kind
84
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.480
of stuff, but it gets weird.
85
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.800
Man. Yeah, I love it, dude, quantum ly No, almost
86
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.160
almost nobody more qualified to give us their thoughts on Bigfoot.
87
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.000
I love doing you know, it's funny and Jeremay we
88
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.240
do this. We've done this for the show now for
89
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.560
four hundred and something episodes. And it's started out as like,
90
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.000
you know, honest opinions from guys like doctor Jeff Meldrum
91
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.920
and recipes, the late Great Yeah, the late Grat and
92
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.439
some of those early Bigfoot folks that we had on
93
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.920
the show. But now it's it's become more of an
94
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:03.040
icebreaker because you're asking theologians and whoever man, I mean,
95
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.360
Dusty Sleigh, Hardy, we wrestle all these guys they think about Bigfoot.
96
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.920
But it's fun to get back to it and be like,
97
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.759
listen to Dusty stuff nice, Yeah, you get an interesting answer.
98
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.639
We try to get we try to get the broader
99
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.360
community into the nerdery that is Bigfoot. But you I
100
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.439
love it. You go headlong into the into the data,
101
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.040
talking to the people every day is Bigfoot for you.
102
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.480
And listen, dude, it is hot right now, dude, this
103
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.839
is crazy. I mean, it's what's going on. All the
104
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:35.639
major news outlets are covering these diving on in Ohio. Yeah,
105
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.480
what's happened? You'ven running around a suit? What are you
106
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:37.959
doing out this?
107
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.360
Dude? It's it's so much, It is so much an
108
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.360
I didn't, Man, I just got I just gotta probably
109
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.879
tell the story. You like, yeah, all right, so here's
110
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.360
how it goes, right, So we're just gonna launch into it.
111
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.240
So for social media stuff on big Foot Society, when
112
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.639
there's a online bigfoot database that does reports, right, and
113
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.319
I'm like, I'll make a video about that. But that'll
114
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.920
be great for the channel, you know, it'd be fun
115
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.439
get the word out right, and usually it's kind of
116
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.839
like not much response. So on the sixth of March,
117
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.399
which is when this all started, in Manaway Center, Ohio,
118
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.399
Northeast Ohio, right, so there is an individual and this
119
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.480
is over on the Bigfoot Mapping Project, which is a
120
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.040
great bigfoot map site. You got to checked that out.
121
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.360
So he took a report or got sent into his
122
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:29.879
website there where a individual had seen a large bipedal cryptid,
123
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.240
a bigfoot about nine foot tall, brown, and it was
124
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.040
about one hundred and twenty yards from him and it
125
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.600
started moving away because it knew that it was there.
126
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.160
So I made the video and then the next day
127
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.920
I got someone reached out on TikTok and I was like, oh,
128
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.720
that's weird. So I was talking to this guy and
129
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.120
he was like, yeah, we had a sighting on the
130
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.360
seventh at ten point fifty two pm where we're we're
131
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.000
just kind of hanging out walking around on this trail
132
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.759
and there was something with heavy footsteps deeper in the trees.
133
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.160
Steps were slow spaced out and much heavier, and then
134
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.879
they saw what they're saying is a eight foot tall,
135
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.759
brown haired sasquatch, and then it pretty much did a
136
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.480
deep grunt that echoed through the woods and they stepped
137
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.079
back right okay. So I was like, that's weird, and
138
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.879
then like, you don't get those doubles like that usually,
139
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.839
I'll make one about Oregon and then it's business as usual.
140
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.160
Right.
141
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.439
So then on the ninth is where it got pretty wild.
142
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.160
So there was another report on the Bigfoot mapping project
143
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.319
in Garrettsville, which is you're going east. If you're looking
144
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.199
at the map that I put together, you're headed east,
145
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.519
and it's you're headed east about three miles. This whole
146
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.120
sighting quarter is about twelve miles long, so Garrettsville, and
147
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.360
this one's kind of a short one. There's an individual
148
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:46.639
that was like, I was walking through the woods, I
149
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.319
saw an eight foot black sasquatch. Looking creature got scared
150
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.399
and so really basic. But I was like, you know what,
151
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.920
I'm gonna throw it out here because this needs to
152
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.920
be documented and there's a pattern showing up, right. So
153
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.920
then this individual reached out to me on on TikTok
154
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.639
and they were like, yeah, an an hour ago around
155
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.079
eleven forty seven, and this gentleman wants to be anonymous.
156
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.959
We had this wild thing happen, and I was like,
157
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.199
would you talk on the phone because at this point,
158
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.920
I'm like I got to start talking to people on
159
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.759
the phone and make sure if this is legit or
160
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.800
like just people that are sending in reports and you know,
161
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.600
maybe it's just a coincidence, right, I need to really
162
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.480
look into this. So talk to this guy. He was
163
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.439
shook up. He was in Garrettsville hiking on this trail
164
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.960
called Headwaters Trail, and the story goes that they had
165
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.679
they saw they saw a ten foot tall, black haired
166
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.879
sasquatch that was in the woods, and I was like,
167
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.039
did you see anything weird about this guy? Like was
168
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.360
he doing anything weird? And the witness was like, well,
169
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.399
it's about thirty feet away. It grunted at us, and
170
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:57.440
when when it turned it didn't turn its neck to look.
171
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.000
It had to turn its shoulders. And I was like, oh,
172
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.720
oh man, okay, it's party time. And then I was like,
173
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.440
is there anything else? And the guy was like, well,
174
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.399
it looked like he was on stilts and he's just acting.
175
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.559
He's walking weird. The way he was walking was very weird.
176
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.399
And I was like, okay, So I'm trying to, like,
177
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.960
you know, process through this. And then a few hours
178
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.519
later I get another contact. This time it's starting to
179
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.200
come through email. I'm like, oh man, and like more
180
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.840
and more and more showing up. Same day, March ninth,
181
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.480
at six pm. This time we're over in Windham, so
182
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.600
it's starting to move southeast now just a few miles away.
183
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.720
This older lady is in her house. She's a skeptic.
184
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.120
She's looking through the window at the woods outside. She says,
185
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.240
approximately one hundred feet away from the house, she sees
186
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.799
a six foot tall brown sasquatch run out of the
187
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.519
neighbors woods and then run back into the neighbors woods.
188
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.399
Her quote was, this is pretty cool. She says, I
189
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.759
know what I saw, but I don't know what I saw.
190
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.799
And I was like, oh man, that is so wild.
191
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.600
That's so telling of like she's just very and I'm
192
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.240
talking to two she's there, her daughter is there, and
193
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.799
like they're emotional, they're worked up there like I don't
194
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.600
know what's going on, like what we saw. So there's that.
195
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.039
And then a little bit later in the week I
196
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.960
got another report from March ninth, so same day, but
197
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.639
this is at eight pm, and if you look on
198
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.759
the map, it's further west over by Streetsboro. But what
199
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.039
happened was this lady and her daughter driving their car
200
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.240
from Streetsborough to Hudson and they're driving down the road
201
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:40.279
by Tinker's Creek and all of a sudden, there's this
202
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.840
bigfoot walking down the road in their land of traffic
203
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.120
towards them, and it's to the point where like it's
204
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.720
doing the weird like kind of bent forward or leaning
205
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.039
forward and stilted typewaks two forums that stilted right. There
206
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.360
are two witnesses, and she's like, I had to like
207
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.600
swerve toget out of the way in my daughter if
208
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.279
she had put her arm out the window it she
209
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.279
would have hit it with her arm. It was so close,
210
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.840
it was like a few feet away. Here's the part
211
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.240
where it gets blurry, gentlemen, because I told you before.
212
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.879
I was like, uh, don't worry, there's a little bit
213
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.480
blurriness about it. I was like, did you notice anything
214
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.320
about the face? And she's like, it was weird because
215
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.559
I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't
216
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.679
see it because it was all blurry and like everything
217
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.600
was together. But I was like, oh, that's so. It
218
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.960
was kind of like she was having a hard time
219
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.240
describing it, but she used the actual words like it
220
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:40.000
looked blurry in the face, a blurred face, brown around
221
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.919
the face, facial hair was lighter than the rest of it.
222
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.440
Very very weird stuff. Then we move on to the
223
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.440
next day. So now we're on the tenth. We're continuing
224
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:55.279
to go further southeast to Newton Township. So this is
225
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.639
the tenth. It's early morning. I'm getting tars of email now, I'm.
226
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.399
Going real quick. So I was I had I was curious.
227
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.279
Maybe some listeners are too. When we looked up Portage County, Ohio,
228
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.639
I just did it here, Yes, I could. I could
229
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:11.679
orient myself. Garrettsville is forty five miles southeast of Cleveland
230
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.399
and thirty five miles northeast of Akrons we're talking about
231
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.639
a region between Cleveland and Akron. Is that is that correct?
232
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.679
As far so I'm trying to picture in my head. Okay,
233
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.879
so where in Ohio are we? Like? Is does that sound? Yeah?
234
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.919
So this is this is a great, great question. Actually,
235
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.039
no one's really asked this. So if you go to
236
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.519
Bigfoot Society podcast dot com and Sighting Map. I have
237
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.919
these on map pens as well. But so pretty much
238
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.440
we're looking at you look at Cleveland and then you
239
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.919
go due east of Cleveland and it's like that area
