Bigfoot in Ohio? Blurry Creatures X Bigfoot Society

0:05 I was like, did you notice anything about the face? And she's like, it was weird because I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't see it because it was all blurry and like everything was together. But I was like, oh, that's so. It was kind of like she was having a hard time describing it, but she used the actual words like it looked blurry in the face, a blurred face, brown around the face, facial hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very very weird stuff. They go to open the door, the dog starts freaking out lunges towards the tree line in the back of the house, and the guy looks out there and he's like, he's like, I can see something in the back tree line and it's a dark, shadowy figure and it's big. And I'm like, he says, you know, I got bare on my property and I was like, well, well, how did you know it wasn't a bearer, sir, And he's like, there's no bear around here that are nine to ten feet tall.

1:21 Bigfoot's on the move. He's out there, he's hanging out in Ohio. And today we're bringing on Jeremiah Byron from Bigfoot Society who's been hot on the trail and getting hundreds of emails from people. New York Times even called them Luke, and Babylon Be made a meme about it. The guy is out there living the dream and it's cool that he's dedicated lane into the Bigfoot space. So we're gonna bring him on and we're gonna ask him all the questions what's going on Ohio because a lot of our listeners are like, you need to do something, what's the news? But he's got all the the uh, he's got a map on his website, he's got everything ready to go. So, Luke, what is it? Breaking news doesn't happen? This is like breaking news, And we have to talk to the guy that really put the put the dots on the map and and and launched the story talking to New York Times, talking to Fox News, talking to all these major news outlets and in the whole world is like, look at this going what's going on in Ohio? Yeah?

2:13 And why why are we having these this string of sightings of Bigfoot? And so we're gonna get into it today with the guy that's that's boots on the ground, that's making the reports, draw on the maps and and has really broke the story. We're gonna do a Blurry Bigfoot Society crossover, so right, if you like it, you know, join join each side and get blurry, or you can get get get in the Bigfoot Society and and learn a lot more about the big fella. But he's out there, baby, let's roots. This show started with Bigfoot and we're going right back. Baby, Let's get him on and figure out what's going on in Ohio. We have Jeremiah Byron on and we're gonna ask him the first question, Jeremiah, is this Heaven.

3:01 Or is this Iowa? What up? Guys? Glad to be here. It's Iowa. But thank you for reaching out and being like, hey, can we do something? And I'm like, yeah, we can do something because man, Nate, we were just talking like we talked like nine hundred episodes ago on the Big for Society podcast and like, Luke, it's great to meet you finally, So good to be here. Man. It's a meeting of the minds. Dude, welcome to beautiful. And we started with Bigfoot and we're going back, So tell us what's going on? What are your thoughts on Bigfoot? But you have probably more thoughts than most. I have a lot of thoughts. Well, I look at a few different ways, guys. So you know, with my podcast big for Society, like why I do it is I provide a place for people to share their encounters and work through it and kind of get through that trauma.

3:53 But over the last few years, like I have gotten out in the woods and myself and like things have gotten weird and they've gotten blurry and dudes, like, I don't know what it is out there, but like there is something. I think how I view it is it's a physical creature because I've seen the tracks. I've seen something that peeled a banana that was left in the woods at thirty miles out in Oregon and then it ate it and left a seventeen inch track near the tree. And like I've seen some blurry stuff, dude, So I think it's like some kind of physical creature that can just do some quantum science. I don't know what kind of stuff, but it gets weird. Man. Yeah, I love it, dude, quantum ly No, almost almost nobody more qualified to give us their thoughts on Bigfoot.

4:41 I love doing you know, it's funny and Jeremay we do this. We've done this for the show now for four hundred and something episodes. And it's started out as like, you know, honest opinions from guys like doctor Jeff Meldrum and recipes, the late Great Yeah, the late Grat and some of those early Bigfoot folks that we had on the show. But now it's it's become more of an icebreaker because you're asking theologians and whoever man, I mean, Dusty Sleigh, Hardy, we wrestle all these guys they think about Bigfoot. But it's fun to get back to it and be like, listen to Dusty stuff nice, Yeah, you get an interesting answer. We try to get we try to get the broader community into the nerdery that is Bigfoot. But you I love it. You go headlong into the into the data, talking to the people every day is Bigfoot for you.

5:23 And listen, dude, it is hot right now, dude, this is crazy. I mean, it's what's going on. All the major news outlets are covering these diving on in Ohio. Yeah, what's happened? You'ven running around a suit? What are you doing out this? Dude? It's it's so much, It is so much an I didn't, Man, I just got I just gotta probably tell the story. You like, yeah, all right, so here's how it goes, right, So we're just gonna launch into it. So for social media stuff on big Foot Society, when there's a online bigfoot database that does reports, right, and I'm like, I'll make a video about that. But that'll be great for the channel, you know, it'd be fun get the word out right, and usually it's kind of like not much response. So on the sixth of March, which is when this all started, in Manaway Center, Ohio, Northeast Ohio, right, so there is an individual and this is over on the Bigfoot Mapping Project, which is a great bigfoot map site. You got to checked that out.

6:21 So he took a report or got sent into his website there where a individual had seen a large bipedal cryptid, a bigfoot about nine foot tall, brown, and it was about one hundred and twenty yards from him and it started moving away because it knew that it was there. So I made the video and then the next day I got someone reached out on TikTok and I was like, oh, that's weird. So I was talking to this guy and he was like, yeah, we had a sighting on the seventh at ten point fifty two pm where we're we're just kind of hanging out walking around on this trail and there was something with heavy footsteps deeper in the trees. Steps were slow spaced out and much heavier, and then they saw what they're saying is a eight foot tall, brown haired sasquatch, and then it pretty much did a deep grunt that echoed through the woods and they stepped back right okay. So I was like, that's weird, and then like, you don't get those doubles like that usually, I'll make one about Oregon and then it's business as usual.

7:22 Right. So then on the ninth is where it got pretty wild. So there was another report on the Bigfoot mapping project in Garrettsville, which is you're going east. If you're looking at the map that I put together, you're headed east, and it's you're headed east about three miles. This whole sighting quarter is about twelve miles long, so Garrettsville, and this one's kind of a short one. There's an individual that was like, I was walking through the woods, I saw an eight foot black sasquatch. Looking creature got scared and so really basic. But I was like, you know what, I'm gonna throw it out here because this needs to be documented and there's a pattern showing up, right. So then this individual reached out to me on on TikTok and they were like, yeah, an an hour ago around eleven forty seven, and this gentleman wants to be anonymous.

8:07 We had this wild thing happen, and I was like, would you talk on the phone because at this point, I'm like I got to start talking to people on the phone and make sure if this is legit or like just people that are sending in reports and you know, maybe it's just a coincidence, right, I need to really look into this. So talk to this guy. He was shook up. He was in Garrettsville hiking on this trail called Headwaters Trail, and the story goes that they had they saw they saw a ten foot tall, black haired sasquatch that was in the woods, and I was like, did you see anything weird about this guy? Like was he doing anything weird? And the witness was like, well, it's about thirty feet away. It grunted at us, and when when it turned it didn't turn its neck to look.

8:57 It had to turn its shoulders. And I was like, oh, oh man, okay, it's party time. And then I was like, is there anything else? And the guy was like, well, it looked like he was on stilts and he's just acting. He's walking weird. The way he was walking was very weird. And I was like, okay, So I'm trying to, like, you know, process through this. And then a few hours later I get another contact. This time it's starting to come through email. I'm like, oh man, and like more and more and more showing up. Same day, March ninth, at six pm. This time we're over in Windham, so it's starting to move southeast now just a few miles away. This older lady is in her house. She's a skeptic.

9:38 She's looking through the window at the woods outside. She says, approximately one hundred feet away from the house, she sees a six foot tall brown sasquatch run out of the neighbors woods and then run back into the neighbors woods. Her quote was, this is pretty cool. She says, I know what I saw, but I don't know what I saw. And I was like, oh man, that is so wild. That's so telling of like she's just very and I'm talking to two she's there, her daughter is there, and like they're emotional, they're worked up there like I don't know what's going on, like what we saw. So there's that. And then a little bit later in the week I got another report from March ninth, so same day, but this is at eight pm, and if you look on the map, it's further west over by Streetsboro. But what happened was this lady and her daughter driving their car from Streetsborough to Hudson and they're driving down the road by Tinker's Creek and all of a sudden, there's this bigfoot walking down the road in their land of traffic towards them, and it's to the point where like it's doing the weird like kind of bent forward or leaning forward and stilted typewaks two forums that stilted right. There are two witnesses, and she's like, I had to like swerve toget out of the way in my daughter if she had put her arm out the window it she would have hit it with her arm. It was so close, it was like a few feet away. Here's the part

11:09 where it gets blurry, gentlemen, because I told you before. I was like, uh, don't worry, there's a little bit blurriness about it. I was like, did you notice anything about the face? And she's like, it was weird because I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't see it because it was all blurry and like everything was together. But I was like, oh, that's so. It was kind of like she was having a hard time describing it, but she used the actual words like it looked blurry in the face, a blurred face, brown around the face, facial hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very very weird stuff. Then we move on to the next day. So now we're on the tenth. We're continuing to go further southeast to Newton Township. So this is the tenth. It's early morning. I'm getting tars of email now, I'm.

11:59 Going real quick. So I was I had I was curious. Maybe some listeners are too. When we looked up Portage County, Ohio, I just did it here, Yes, I could. I could orient myself. Garrettsville is forty five miles southeast of Cleveland and thirty five miles northeast of Akrons we're talking about a region between Cleveland and Akron. Is that is that correct? As far so I'm trying to picture in my head. Okay, so where in Ohio are we? Like? Is does that sound? Yeah? So this is this is a great, great question. Actually, no one's really asked this. So if you go to Bigfoot Society podcast dot com and Sighting Map. I have these on map pens as well. But so pretty much we're looking at you look at Cleveland and then you go due east of Cleveland and it's like that area between Cleveland and Youngstown that's where it's happening.

12:48 Okay, all right, that's good. So this is yeah, because you know, if anyone's been to Cleveland, oh yeah, I got out the mistake. I'm a mistake by the lake. You know, that's the Uh, we're not too far from Cleveland Rock. So you know I'm talking no listen, people are hey in Cleveland. People understand, right, there's two seasons. There's winter and then there's real construction. So all my Cleveland people stand up. It's uh. But yeah, I was just trying to work myself because you know how I always Yeah, okay, continue, So we make it to the tenth. It makes at please point like you know, there's a lot of folks that that make reports, and right, of course, the skeptics first question is always our first responses, like it's mystification we're looking at like there's bears out there, black bears, those kind of things. You know, when you're taking these reports and when you when you're talking to people, you know, how do you zero in on like being like, let's eliminate a couple of things here so we're not There were a couple of things I heard from you was one is like a bear turns his neck. I've seen enough bears in northern California. They don't have to move their whole body, you know, to to look at you.

13:50 That's how looks. Yeah, just beefcakes, dude. Yeah, just a linebacker out there. There's just like just like yeah, like a gips you got a cowboy collarround it? Yeah? Moving her neck? Yeah, continue though, that's what? Yeah? How are you? How are you working away to be like, hey, this feels like the best? Actually have you drawn a map? Have you drawn the line? Oh? I have I've drawn Okay, So I was like this is so crazy. I gotta go full scale draw map guy on this, and I've I was like, man, I'm putting stuff in like canva, and I'm going all like, I'm not a graphics guy, but i was like, this time, I'm being graphics guy. And it is like it has been very effective because I I can send it over to you guys too, Yeah for sure. But yeah, so Nate or Luke as you as you ask. So one thing I was asking these witnesses when I'm talking to him, because I'm talking to everyone on the phone now and I'm like, uh, you know, one of the questions and this actually comes in to play with the new Newton township one, which is on the tenth You'll find out about that actually right now. So there's a gentleman where he sends an email to me, and I'm having to shift through tons of emails right now. There's a lot of like AI generated stuff you can tell because it's got the M dashes and like not this but this, and I'm like, okay, fake. And then a lot of like old pictures that are from the early two thousands.

15:20 I'm having to do reverse image shirts and Google on these things. And so there's a lot of like pre work to get to the point where I'm like, okay, this sounds, you know, kind of good. I'm going to see you. Feel like he even me and phone numbers. So the Newton Township anonymous individual, he reaches out early on the tenth and I'm like, hey, can I have your phone number? Because it's very like straightforward, very short statement. I need to talk to someone, and I'm like, okay, this I got a feeling. So I talked to this guy. He is super emotional, he's worked up. He's like, I want to be anonymous, and I just never want this is it. I'm talking one time and this is it, right, So four am he gets up, he has to take his German shepherd out. They hit they go to open the door, the dog starts freaking out, lunges towards the tree line in the back of the house, and the guy looks out there and he's like, He's like, I can see something in the back tree line and it's a dark, shadowy figure and it's big, and I'm like, he says, you know, I got bear on my property.

16:29 And I was like, well, well, how did you know it wasn't a bear, sir? And he's like, there's no bear. Around here that are nine to ten feet tall. Wow, And I'm like, okay, so that's pretty substantial. So he imediates, like, we got to get back inside. This is wild. When they get back inside, the German shepherd dog is shaking uncontrollably. It's never done that before. It is just freaking out. And so that's three ten at four am, right, So that's Newton Township. A little bit later, I take a report where it's an older, anonymous lady and she's very salt of the earth, very straightforward, very like, you know, I'm not messing around. This is what happened. I just want to figure it out, and you'd want to have her on your side.

17:21 Right. So it's down in the Lake Milton area. So again we went east, now southeast, and it's kind of going down there. So what happened was she saw something that looked reddish brown, rust colored. It was about seven feet tall, and it was two hundred feet away from her house. She was looking out from the window in her house and it was going towards the pond in the backyard, under tree and the underbrush, and it disappeared in the woods. And I was like, did it vanish completely? Or did it just go into the brush. And she was like, it went into the brush, did not vanish, okay, because that if it's blurry, you got to ask, right. So she's like, I saw a view of the side in the back. It wasn't shaped like a deer. Because I was starting to ask this question, Luke, that you brought up, I was like, I got to start asking because there's bear out there. I was like, why would you say this was not a bear? She was like, few things, the collar, the big fat round arms, and very very muscular.

18:20 So those are the three things that she pointed out. She was like, I haven't checked the area for tracks because she's been busy. It was also leaning forward as it ran, so it was on two legs. Big deal there. She's like, I just feel curious about what the heck it could have been. That's what she said. So that is the eight sightings that happened in five days from March sixth to March tenth. And it's been wild. This hasn't been anything like this since the late nineteen seventies when all the flaps happened around the US. How many different sasquatch are involved. You think that's a great, great question, Nate. So if you think about the different colors and you think about you know, people are seeing different heights, I mean that tells you that there is there's definitely more than one. There's either a group or there's individuals kind of moving along a route. And then that's a whole question itself, because it's like, well, why are they moving all down this route? Is this a migration thing? Some people are squatch migratory, right.

19:27 Some people are thinking, well, maybe it's an every five year mating ritual. Who knows. I'm like, okay. Or maybe it's because the weather is so weird that they're like, let's get out of Dodge before the tornadoes that came in with the aid and jail, you know, and all that crazy stuff. So there's a lot of questions that are being asked right now. Do you have reports that happen where one sasquatch can create a lot of commotion in like a town and then it's the same squatch that's just mess. Going, rogue going rogue squatches. Yeah, well that happens. Talk to Tom Sewood, you know, Oh yeah, I talked to him too. He's a great guy. So I'm thinking of I was talking to my buddy Steve Coles the other day and he was telling me about how back in the early two thousands there was a lot of sightings of a similar sasquatch over there in Whitehall, New York, which is a super active area. He's kind of expert over there. But that's kind of why this is unique too, because it's like you look at the map and you can literally follow the route as it goes along. It's just it's just super super weird unique. You know, some people get really into it and they are like plotting out on a map like, Okay, this happens this time of year, this this year, and so you're seeing maybe certain ones show up in certain areas of the US this year or this year. But like to see it all together like this very unique.

20:55 And Jeremy I fund following here is it's like there's like three brown sightings what they considered brow on three that were probably black. There's a black there's a black shadow right that could be I guess either or but you have this mix. Are they following a trail like a route that that would be something that would make sense, like. So, Luke, fantastic question. Yes, Yes, you absolutely have it. So this I've talked to a few people in the email about this, and a lot of locals are reaching out to me and they're like, dude, the pattern that people aren't realizing yet is that this kind of follows the Mahoning River corridor. So it's kind of like following a river. And that's not for my research. That's just from different individuals that have told me that from the area.

21:45 So you know, take that, you know, look into it as well yourself. But that's kind of a pattern of like it's following a river corridor system in a way, which makes sense. What you do is an ana or a person, you know, you're you follow the. Water fall, the creeks, just like the Boggy Creek. No redheads out there, No redheads, no red ones. Well, I mean, yeah, there's like a rust rusty the Lake Milton one. Not that he's called rusty, but maybe they. Kick those ones out right away, genters out of here. Yeah, but they're the most beautiful. The one that the woman saw in Alaska is red Ski was a beautiful red squad.

22:29 I think beautiful red squatch. That's great. So Jeremiah, let me let me ask you this. The last siding that you have on your on this list that we just talked about was on the tenth and as yeah, here it is Friday the thirteenth. Oh interesting, anything you got anything pop up in your inbox? You got any any anything from the site? You know, moving more in this direction which seems to be what is it a southeast easterly? Is that correct? Is it moving south easterly? Is it? You know, is there anything? Has anything popped up? And to you what's the latest breaking on this? I know you're doing around doing some of the rounds on some of these big media sites talking about the story, but you know we're probably what do we sit three days out from the last anything new or anything?

23:17 So yeah, a little bit of explanation there about why there has been almost like there are videos, a lot and stuff going on and now there's not what's going on? So that's that as a question needs to be addressed. So when this first started out, there was an individual that reached out from the area and his name is is Glenn Atkins with the Ohio Squatch Project, local guy and thirty thirty year veteran with the Sasquatch Research. He was a protege of Robert W. Morgan, which if you're a Bigfoot nerd, you get how big a deal that is. And so right away we have spent hours on the phone since the sixth and talking through through what is going to be best in this situation. Is we decided that if because there's hundreds coming in, so I'm having to weed through them all and then call people that feel where it's legit. And then what I'm doing is I'm giving the information over to Glenn if they want to be contacted so that investigation can happen in an area without the waters being muddied. Because I made a video about it and then everyone's like, oh yeah, I saw it there too, So it's it's kind of transitioning from a thing where we want to make sure that the right research is happening, and that might make the news cycle not be as amazing, but the main goal

24:49 is to figure out what's going on here. You know, So I didn't I haven't thought about that, Jeremiah, because you knows, this becomes gets more more momentum and conversation. The likelihood that you get hoaxes or people just calling in to pray, it's a lot is very high, right, because everybody kind of wants to get a piece of of this. And so you've got, yeah, as you know as a scientist, which is people may be like a bigfoot, but you know, people to treat this subject matter, this space is scientifically scientifically so that there's credibility, right, Well, this is the whole point to a lot of this. You have to treat these reports like like a skeptic and also like a scientist and and verify them. And I think you know to your point, that becomes increasingly difficult as this story gains momentum because in the age we're in, people want to want to.

25:38 Troll, they want to just want that light. Yeah, And so you know, I've I've talked, I've had over a thousand episodes on Bigfoot society. So the way I'm looking at it through the lens of like, Okay, I know how a person communicates when they have had an experience. It's different than a person is where it's like, oh, hey, it was such a fun time. Like it's different, right, It's it's usually way different. So that has those hours and hours and hours of interviewing people have really paid off. In the last few days big time. So that's all. See. So yeah, when last time this something like this happened.

26:22 Literally, if we're looking at like when it was well, the equivalent Nate, I would think would be nineteen seventy eight, because all the flaps were happening all over the US. You can pretty much look in any state in the US in nineteen seventy eight and there's massive bigfoot activity and they recall flaps. And that's when you had you know, And when I say flap, I'm like, you know how John Keele used to go around and document everything and like Mothman and Bigfoot and all that good stuff. But we're talking about bigfoot specifically now. There have been as I mentioned before, like you know, Steve Coles, there was a little group of around I think five or six over by Whitehall. But if we're talking about something where it got like really intense and like the whole I mean right now it's international news, like the whole world is looking at what's going on in Ohio, and I would say the late seventies is the last time so our generation of bigfooters have never experienced anything like this before.

27:22 Wow, you think other than Jerema, other than like them like moving. Let's just let's just say this is uh, this is not this is not a natural thing. We're just we're looking at something that sort of is a an abnormal. It seems abnormal at least from the reporting since the since the seventies. Although you know, based on what we've heard on the show, you know, a lot of satis MutS are pretty pretty remote, like to be left alone for the most part, and they so these things could happen and theory be happening in other places. They could be moving like this, But as far as document is, it's seventies. You know what, other than like a weather thing, is there any other you don't have any other hypothesis on why this is happening or why people are are in why exactly the exactly?

28:05 Yeah, there is one that freaks me out a lot as a Midwesterner, and that is a few people have been like, well, maybe it's the fault line by Illinois, that's that's due to go anytime, And I'm like, dude, don't even like say that, because like, if that happens, I was done, Like I'm gonna see you later. You know, well it's heaven time, really, So that's cool, but you. Get to get all your questions answered. That's more positive, right, It's really true. Yeah, that's the one other thing that has to come up, Luke. Yeah, yeah, it's it's interesting. And so what I'm reading on your side here and I'll I know you say this any way, but just people listening that based on the trajectory you're you're guessing that approximately they're moving about approximately three miles a day, and that since this last in the tenth that the West Branch State Park, the Lord's Toown Quarter, and Milton Township would have been in the range of the last few days for sightings, encounters, localizations, etcetera.

29:11 Sort of in any sort of any sort of activity. And what do you what are you telling people out there to do if they've had an encounter, they tell them to reach out to the to the site or they to you know what, what's the best way can just for someone to report this and not have it get lost. And you know, I watched to listen I'm big like true crime, Netflix, watch the Murder Dog. I always called the murder shows. Right, but you realize then then when they when there are big crimes, people get thousands of tips, right, in the job. The job of an investigator detective is to like some of these big, high profile steps that Elizabeth Smart where whatever it is, big kidnepping cases. There's like thousands upon thousands of quote tips that come in and the job of investigators to try to figure out what is real or they send those if if they yet.

29:59 It's a great question, man, because yeah, at this point, and we don't know when it's going to stop. And that's the thing, right, which kind of freaks me out a lot. So you know, if you're wanting to report it to Big for Society directly, you can. My email is Big for Society gmail dot com. There are other organizations that I'll throw out that are great researchers. I mean, you've got the BFRO. You can go to BFRO dot net. You can go to whatap dot org, which is the NAWAC guys out of southeast Oklahoma, but they have researchers all over the US. You have a Bigfoot mapping project if you want to report it somewhere as well. But if you're trying to be like I kind of want someone to check this out, those would be some great options.

30:53 And I apologize I might be leaving someone out and that's not on purpose. So yeah, that's how it is. Too much Bigfoot on the brain. Oh nice, Nate, you can't can't keep it all that's right underwrapps. I mean those stories get lost too. I mean you you get them all day long. It's gonna happen. Yeah, So what do you think, whether you thinks coming next is gonna ramp up or is it gonna slow down? Or are they moving on? They heading to Florida? Where are they going? I think there's some really interesting investigation going on right now that will be really interesting and do some Really I'm just I can't. It's gonna get weird. It's really gonna get weird, guys, And I don't want to be that guy. But I just like, if we're gonna keep things the investigation pure, I really can't. But there is stuff that's being actively looked at by people right now in this area that is still happening. So it's not like it's just like oh, off switch, No, it's just it's kind of in the background for a little bit.

32:04 So I think that, you know, I've talked to people, a lot of researchers from the area. I think my friend Ashley Ashers, was saying, you know this this can happen some years because if you follow when the mushrooms come into season, that can bring it. So that's it, and that's kind of interesting to think about. Right. So there's all these like I think is that the information is not in all one area, and it's like you have to get some from this guy and from this guy and like figure out what's happening. But yeah, I don't know. I know some people are like, well, maybe they're going to spring break in Lake Milton. But you know, it's funny. I tried. I tried to get this crazy lady that picks mushrooms to come on the show years ago, and she wouldn't do it, but she had all these.

32:49 Wild They're fun to talk to. That there bigot's just tripping out in the woods, just doesn't know where he is. Jeremiah. My one of my final questions on this one is Bloozy is is like what convinces you this this is legit and not this is just sort of not a coincidental string of reports. I mean, because what people will say, right infially, people will say this is this is ridiculous, This is misdification or they're saying, like a lot of people will say in space is like ours is. Oh, you're just finding a straight line and connected where you want to write this. This is just you know, you're looking at at a at a coincidence and a bunch of misdifications that happened to draw a semi straight line.

33:30 Like what what what? How are you convinced and what convinced you? This is something that's real, It's really happening. So what convinced it for me? And this is where I've had some really interesting conversations over the years with different individuals that look at this different ways, which is great because conversations like that are helpful for healthy for everyone. And what what did it for me was when I started to talk to the witnesses over the phone and there was visceral response in a way that I haven't heard since I've been able to interview people face to face an Oakridge, Oregon in the Wilamott National Force, and I was like, there was just something there. I was like, these people are going through it. They definitely saw something and they are freaked out of their mind. So for me, as a person who is focusing on the human experience and helping the people, the witnesses work through their trauma.

34:28 That is really what I focus on. I know there's other investigators that are like show me tracks, and I wish we could find some really good track photos and there might be some out there that I just haven't seen yet. I mean, there's so much, so much to this that I'm I'm not keeping like this story is living on its own now, and there are Bigfoot researcher groups from all parts of the nation gathered in this one area, and like it is going to be the story it's going to take years to unravel of what really happened in Portage and Trumbull County in twenty twenty six. A palpable fear. As you say, you're like you said, you see these people like they experienced something that like the legitimate scared them.

35:15 I haven't seen it since Oregon. Well, how much do you think it's just gives people permission to talk about it? If it's like everyone's saying the Ohio Squatch, it's like they feel like they come out versus like maybe Bigfoot's always up to something, but people just don't feel compelled to tell their encounter story. So I think, Nate, that that's something that's actually been happening over the last few years, and a lot of us in the community have been trying to figure it out. If it's a thing where just because there's more Bigfoot podcasts that are in the limelight, that people feel because there is a lot coming out and so is it that they feel empowered or is it at the point where people are like, I have nothing left to lose and we're in a crazy spot as a world. I need to share this and just let's have on guys, you know, and like get the truth out. I think it's a combination, to be honest.

36:05 Or if it just feels like it's ticking up and more people are coming, then then I feel, oh, yeah, I can talk about this. I'm kind of writing with you though, Jeremiah. I think that like we've seen the show, right, and we cover a lot of things, not just the Bigfoot space, not as much as we did at the beginning either, right, right, right, but I think a lot of I think things like what everyone went through collectively in twenty twenty has opened a lot of people's eyes to hey, listen, if this can happen, then a lot of these things that people talk about maybe you know, are are legit and not just relegated to the realm of conspiracy. And I think there's always that mean that says like conspiracy theorists about in a thousand right, like that, you know, when when you need to apologize your conspiracy theorist friend, et cetera.

36:50 And there's some of that going to a play too, where people are like, you know, the things that we were told to not look at, not believe, and to sweep under the rug. Maybe there's a lot more legitimacy to what's going on here. And yeah, they're ready to talk for sure. And I think, but you know, you kind of bring up a good point there, which is at this point where everyone knows what's going on and it is all over the news there. This is why like the investigation really needs the start to happen, because there are probably people out there that are I mean, they're putting up bigfoot signs and they're wearing big foot costumes and I would recommend guys do not do that. Please for safety, don't do it.

37:34 Someone out there has a gun and as they're thirty thirty and they're like, I'm gonna pag this guy's. Well, we know, yeah, so we know Ohio is a very haunted place, a very placeful mounds. Is there anything associated with all the other creepy stuff that goes on in Ohio with big Foot sightings? You think, so? Is there are there other big Foot sightings in Ohio? Well, I just I just we know, like Fritz Zimmermann came on and talked to the Giants Mounds, and he specifically has a theory that these mounds sort of manufacture cryptid creatures, which is a wild idea. But that's a long, full episode. If you want so, I'll tell you something. This actually isn't out yet, but I was talking to an individual from down in Adams County, which is southern Ohio by the Ohio River, by the mounds, and I was like, I actually brought that up. I was like, is this have anything to do with the mounds? And he's like, well, actually, I was going to the mounds and there's a gift shop there and lo and behold there was a worker there and we got talking about Bigfoot and she was like, I got big fun on my home property. I've had investigators out three times and like she's working at the Mounds place. I mean it's crazy, you know, but that southern Ohio is blonkers as well. I mean really the whole state. If you look on BFROO or big Foot Mapping Project or Bigfoot Society Siting Map, I mean, Ohio is crazy when it comes to reports.

39:00 Want to be number one Jeremi, And they want to be the number one Bigfoot they do. And Oregon and Washington that could be hard to get past them, but they're. They got a pretty good straggle hold on that. But where do we go? The great, the great Sasquash Migration of twenty twenty six is underway. We're in the middle of it. Jeremiah Byron Bickus. Add it to the list of weird things that have just happened. March. So what's coming on? Are the squatch coming out of the woods and this is the this is their year? Oh boy? I guess so, dude. I don't even want to think about what might be happening in the PMW when I go out there later. Man could get wild. Any other states like hot or just Ohio.

39:43 I've been hearing so right now my focus is so like it is one thousand percent on Ohio as you can guess, right, I've been hearing little whisperings where people are starting to say, like, oh, well, a lot of weird stuff's happening in Tennessee with foot too, like over in you know, like was it called like middle Central, like Solina County, you know that area? Yeah, and so I haven't been able to verify that, but I find it interesting that I'm starting to hear it from different places. People are like, we're seeing them a lot more so I don't I don't know, guys. There could be something else going on, but right now it's it's so higher robust.

40:25 Man. If it gets hot here, come on down. We'll go out. We'll knock on some doors. We've got a very, we've got a we've got a ginger. We can use his bait. Yeah, and his face. He's willing, he's willing and able. There you go and just be me and a family of red squatches, and Luke would have to you'll be gone. I'd be like, how do I carry this blurry torch? MAT's found These people. Feel like the end of Harry and Anderson. So just maybe waving yeah, right, they're all there. We just didn't see him. Well, Jeremiah, thanks man, it's it's wild. And tell our listeners where they can hang out with you and get real deep in the bigfoot trenches. Oh yeah, absolutely so, guys, if you like listening to witnesses that have had bigfoot encounters, I'm releasing right now.

41:10 It is at least five episodes a week and so well over one thousand episodes to listen to. You can find all the links at Bigfoot Society podcast dot com all the socials. If you have a big foot sighting to report that you've had and experience, please reach out to me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. It will be a few days, but I will get back to you as I have just hundreds coming in right now. But well, I will make sure that I do look at that email. Five episodes a week. You were a machine, Jared, I was doing seven. You're a machine. You're good for you. You're to get some vacation time. If you get any weird stuff and you don't want to interview them, send them our way, because well, when you have, you have Actually.

41:53 Actually I was looking for email and I'm like, this is this isn't your wheelhouse? Not mine and really yeah, well, thank you sir, exactly, dude, you were true. We were looking for. Giant encounters a giant, oh yeah, for sure, sent our way there is there is a lot of those happening too, you know. It's just oh really, it's just getting weird. Yeah, I mean a lot is a relative term. For Nathan Henry, there's there's more than zero, so there would be a lot of giant encounters. Yeah, yeah, just true. Paranormal activity seems to be on the rise in terms of just the overall gauge of messages, other people posting stuff.

42:34 It just seems like it's it's ramping up. It's pretty heavy for some reason. And I don't know if I mean, you could look at it so many it's it's all what your worldview is. Is it is it the end times? Or is it because the Shuman resonance is going crazy and the veil is getting thinner. It all depends on what your worldview is, I guess. But the human I'm not an expert on it, but it's it's called the Shuman resonance, I think, and it's it's this graph you can see and if it's like a certain color, then it's like, uh oh, things are gonna get weird. So I don't know, dude, I'm just a big foot guy, Nate. So well, if they turned, if that, if that migration route turns to Iowa, you may have a lot more on your hands.

43:19 It'll be the field of dreams out there. I will be. Proud of. Maybe they're just like you, built big for society, so here we come. Hey, this is rad too, because we kind of started pods at around the same time, and it's been cool to be like we did. And you've been crushing it, working hard. You're a solo man out there on the Bigfoot trail and you, yes, sir, you push through all the adversity to keep going and you did it. We're proud of you. We're fans, du We're big fans. Thank you, bro, Thank you guys likewise my friends. Yeah, and it all started with big Foot podcasts. It wouldn't be to blurry without someone out there, you know, Sasquatch Chronicles was was pumping out stuff long before. Yeah, Wes is Wes is og I mean without without Wes, I mean yeah, who dude, Yeah, well.

44:05 I like it. Maybe what's the weirdest Bigfoot story to end this for you over. A thousand, I was the weirdest Bigfoot story. I'll share a favorite, and my listeners are going to be like, I know which one, but here we go. So you know Mount Hood out in Oregon. I've climbed it twice. You've climbed Mount Hood twice? Dude, my dude. Okay, wow, uh drop of the hat like that's amazing. And if you will at me real quick. I climbed it twice with an organization that's now called Atlas Free and we did to raise money to do combat human trafficking and support a cool safe housees and curriculum for those of trafficked out of there. And actually that's how we ended up meeting the folks from Duck Dynasty. Climbed with John Luke Robertson, and that's that turned into something you know on our ends. Super cool. But yeah, let me do I know this place very well?

44:57 You know. Yeah, So one of the weirdest stories. I've got a lot of weird stuff, but the weirdest Bigfoot story I've gotten was an individual was out there camping with his buddy at a campsite a little outside of Mount Hood. It's nighttime. They have a glow stick out, they're messing around. They walk over to this creek area throw the glow stick down at the creek and they're like, oh, man, I really want that glow stick back. I gotta get it back. So they go and look over see where it is. They see something that's large, some dark creature on the ground, and they're like, is that a cougar? And then all of a sudden, the cougar turns into something like it stands up on its two legs and it's like eight to nine feet tall at least. But then here's where it gets super weird. Is that Bigfoot or whatever's or giant or whatever I'm going to go with Bigfoot. It turns into a cloud of misty fog and then it goes over the creek and just you know, the smoke monster from Lost. That's what I That's what I think we're dealing with the visual there. But that's one of the weirdest things. And the weird thing is is that I've also heard of that happening in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, And that was an interview that happened the day after the mount Hood interview, so that person would not have been able to hear the mounthood interview and it was a weird synchronous city dudes.

46:23 Wow wow yeah. So what did they get the gloses stick back? How is it? Does it end happy? No? They were freaked out of their mind and never went back again type of leave the leave the glost, leave the glow stick. Guys. I mean that's like the myst the Chicaina the cloud, very very. Biblical, except that's what God himself and why no. But I'm just saying, I don't know we want to go there. I'm just saying, it's not a story that you didn't scratch your head when you read that in the Bible? Like, what is what is that? Like this movie called Guerilla's in the Oh there you go? Yeah, sure, injured playing that at a youth group. By the way, we did what We played Gorillas in the Mist and they fogged the whole youth group room and you had to run from one side of the other. So I went to the er room that lined and so it clotheslined me.

47:17 I split my head up. Stupidest, stupidest game. You were the kid that got hurt some some guy was running full speed through that that room. That would have been in a monkey suit of all things, not that big. It would have hit me anyway. Gorillas in the mist, I don't know, wild I love it, dude. We spent a lot of time at Mount Hood. You could see the place is little is different. Oh and if I could do it. So if people like reading stuff like that, I have a sighting map on my website big for Society podcast dot com. I have over a thousand weird reports like that where you can click on the pin, read the report, and then go to the episode to hear the interviews.

47:59 So let's go. If you like that, get right into it. Thanks dude, this has been a big foot up. David Byron No appreciate it, man. Thank you and keep going out there. Keep keep it squatchy. I will do Thanks guys. Thanks to Iago Migration. Oh wait tell you yeah, see you later, all right.
