Season 1

What happens when a teenager’s quiet night at an Oregon scout camp turns into a terrifying brush with the impossible? In this chilling episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron sits down with a witness from Eugene who recounts a face-to-face encounter with not one, but two Sasquatch inside their cabin on the Oregon coast. From the putrid smell that filled the room, to the shocking moment when the massive figure bumped into furniture and left behind strands of hair, this story is unforgettable.


We also hear generational sightings from his grandfather in Klamath Falls, eerie encounters from Georgia highways, and strange Bigfoot activity in places like Texas, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Along the way, we dive into the connections between footprints, UFOs, and interdimensional theories that leave even seasoned researchers puzzled.


From Oakridge and Dexter Lake to the swamps of the Deep South, these accounts remind us: the forest is never empty. Tune in for one of the most intense and personal episodes yet — and decide for yourself if these creatures are closer than you think.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.960
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
So settle in because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.719
So stay with us. I see your comment about I've

11
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.679
seen one on a fire outside of Oakridge, Oregon. I

12
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.479
would love to talk to you about that. I cannot

13
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.759
request for you to come up. If you can hit

can send me an email Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

17
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.880
I've interviewed almost fifty people in the Oakridge area about

18
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.799
their bigfoot sightings, so I would love to talk to

19
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.039
you about that.

20
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:01.240
Pretty good.

21
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.239
How about yourself, Hey, doing great, doing great? So first off,

22
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.200
do you have a big foot encounter to share.

23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.079
I do. I actually have a couple, but the first

24
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.120
one's my own, but I got my grandfather had one

25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.920
as well, and then a very close family friend.

26
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.959
Oh awesome. And before we get started, is this something

27
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.680
where I can use the audio from this conversation for

28
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:25.799
my Bigfoot podcast?

29
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.640
Absolutely, I'll keep it PG.

30
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.719
Very good, all right, Yeah, feel free to share what

31
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.120
you'd like.

32
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.879
So I live in Oregon. I live in Eugene, just

33
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.400
about thirty minutes outside Okage, and I spent most of

34
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.280
my summers in my youth on the Oregon coast, just

35
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.359
camping and working a Scout camp out there. And if

36
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.400
this was in the off season, just about around October ish,

37
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:03.560
my troop had rented the camp to go spend kind

38
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.000
of around the Halloween times out there and have like

39
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:14.080
a harvest festival. And it was probably twelve o'clock. There

40
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.719
were about four of us in the cabin. The cabins

41
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.599
host about six to eight people, and so there were

42
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.360
four of us in there, and it's getting pretty late

43
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:30.759
at night, and most everybody is asleep off in another

44
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.560
camp site. And for reference, these are pretty small cabins

45
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.840
dimension wise on the inside. On the outside, it's about

46
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.800
eight feet to the middle of the window sill, and

47
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.159
so we're all getting ready to go to bed where

48
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.960
we're all sitting, and I get woken up, you know,

49
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.800
about twenty minutes from what I think. I fall asleep too,

50
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.000
and I see kind of this figure swaying back and

51
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:08.360
forth in the window and just kind of kind of

52
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.000
looking in and swaying. The door kind of like rattles

53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.639
a little bit, and then it opens up, and everybody

54
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.000
who's supposed to be in the cabin is in the cabin,

55
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.240
but I'm still seeing this thing in the window. And

56
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.840
then I'm seeing and I'm hearing something open up the door.

57
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.199
So the door finally opens up after a couple jiggles,

58
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.599
and just this putrid smell of of of musk and

59
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.360
just filth, a kind of it smells like like a

60
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.960
dead animal, if you know what that smells like, and

61
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.360
it just fills this this small cabin, and you know,

62
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.479
these steps come up into kind of the main living

63
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.080
room of where we were staying, and it turns its

64
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.560
head around the corner and it kind of like bumps

65
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.400
it shoulder and grunts a little bit and kind of

66
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.120
comes over and looks at me, and I'm sleeping on

67
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.360
the bottom bunk, and I'm, you know, probably fifteen. I'm

68
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.560
I'm scared. I got the covers up over my head,

69
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.439
like what's that gonna do? But you know, it's just

70
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.759
a peace of mind. And I kind of peek out

71
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.439
from the covers and I can just see a bigfoots

72
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.759
just kind of standing in the cabin. And it's in

73
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.000
there for a little while, and then the figure in

74
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.199
the window comes up and stands up on the porch,

75
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.519
and from what I could see in the window, it

76
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.040
was a smaller one, so I was figuring it it

77
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.199
was a mom and a child. And so mom was

78
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.560
in checking us out in the cabin, and the little

79
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.319
kid was, you know, hanging out on the por and

80
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.839
she just kinda is looking at us and just checking

81
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:12.199
us out. And then she decides to go into the

82
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.920
back room where the other three kids are staying, and

83
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.959
she she moves the bed and wakes one of the

84
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.920
other guys up. And so I'm not the only one

85
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.720
to have seen this, and we kind of checked our

86
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.839
stories later, but after that, she just kind of left

87
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.120
and there's there was there was a couch, but it's

88
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.839
it's bolted into the wall and it's made out of

89
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:44.000
like plywood. It just has cushions on it. Well, she

90
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:50.199
hit her leg against the plywood and left some hair behind.

91
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.000
So I have some sasquatch hair that I have dangled

92
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.959
around my mirror and my car. And that's that's just

93
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.720
an experience that I'll I'll never forget.

94
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:08.439
Wow, dude, that's intense. What was the year on that again.

95
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.360
That was probably what twenty I want to say, like

96
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:23.600
twenty twelve to probably twenty fifteen, twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen,

97
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.519
somewhere around there. I don't exactly remember when I just

98
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.959
I just kind of time just kind of seemed to

99
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.879
stop in that moment.

100
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.800
Absolutely. And you said this is on the coast.

101
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.759
Yeah, this is on the coast, just outside of Florence

102
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:37.639
in Dune.

103
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:43.519
City, Lawrence, Dune City. And you said you were scouts

104
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:44.759
saw a camping trip.

105
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.079
Mm hmm. Yeah. It was on the Silkouse Lake. So

106
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.399
it's a fairly populated area and so I'm surprised that

107
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.240
it was even there in the first place. We have

108
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.120
our fair share of bears and everything there, and so

109
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.920
at first I thought it was a bear, But after

110
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.399
it came in, I was convinced otherwise.

111
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.920
Wow, were you able to get a good look at

112
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.839
it from your bed?

113
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:22.720
Yeah? So it was like a dark reddish brown and

114
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:29.879
it had broad shoulders, very very muscular, very thick hair,

115
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.360
kind of a cone shaped head, and a dark dark

116
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.360
eyes that were reflective, and it had teeth pretty similar

117
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.920
to ours. Because she was kind of sitting there smiling

118
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.319
and sniffing, and then she would she would grunt every

119
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.519
now and then to her kid, and then the kid

120
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.160
would like grunt back. And they were very soft, very calm,

121
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:59.759
just so. But her her caneines were a little bit

122
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:04.480
more pronounced than what ours are, but but not like

123
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.879
but not like horror movie things, you know.

124
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.680
Was there a smell? No, you are you did already say.

125
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.439
There was, Yeah, very musty, very similar to an elk

126
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.519
with that kind of musk, but just a little bit

127
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:25.160
more prominent.

128
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.759
What does the what does the hair look like that

129
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:30.079
you have?

130
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:36.600
It's it's like horse hair in the wiry aspect of it.

131
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.120
But it's just it's just long and a little curly.

132
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.919
It's it's got like waves in it is wiry.

133
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:51.639
Gotcha. There is a gentleman involved with North Carolina State

134
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:59.720
who's doing a free DNA study first sasasquatch evidence. If

135
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.320
you you google Darby or Cut, you can find his

136
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.639
website and if you were wanting to have it tested,

137
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.600
it will not cost you. If you go through that,

138
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.919
it won't cost you anything. So you can have it tested.

139
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.919
And the crazy thing is you actually saw them right

140
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:23.120
in front of you, and you took the hair, and

141
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.200
you have the hair. So I would really recommend that

142
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.200
since you were able to see the creature and you

143
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.080
saw the hair, you got the hair, you still have it,

144
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.919
that you look up that individual and try to send

145
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.759
it in to get it tested. That could be something

146
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.440
that changes everything, to be honest.

147
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.519
Yeah. And then just responding to a comment, I knew

148
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:49.360
it was a female because you can kind of tell

149
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.159
those things when they're not wearing clothes.

150
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.799
Okay, sure, so you can just.

151
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.559
Kind of like trying to keep it family friendly.

152
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.159
No, that's you know, and I think that's all right.

153
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.279
So you could see like the breast, et cetera. Yeah, okay,

154
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.320
that's awesome. Now when you said it was smiling, can

155
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.519
you explain exactly what you mean by that?

156
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.600
It was just kind of bearing its teeth similar to

157
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.559
a smile, just kind of like when it's sniffing, or

158
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.840
you got like a twitch in your eye and you're

159
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.480
just kind of like moving your lips a little bit.

160
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.879
Okay, it's very very interesting. And your age again.

161
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.679
I am. I was probably fifteen.

162
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.639
Okay, gotcha. Now let's say, so next morning, did you

163
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.240
tell your counselors, the people in charge of where you

164
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.720
were camping. Did you have any conversations like that?

165
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.639
I did. Yeah. They kind of just brushed it off

166
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:54.080
of like, oh, that that couldn't have happened. I started

167
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.279
everything off with, was, hey, did anybody come down to

168
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.639
my cabin last night, you know, parents or anything, And

169
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.080
they all had said no, and I kind of told

170
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.240
them what happened, and They're like, yeah, that's crazy, that

171
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:06.960
would never happen.

172
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.120
Okay, I'm looking up. I'm looking at the map for

173
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.960
a minute. Here, okay, Dune City. So this is north

174
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:23.120
of kus Bay.

175
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.399
Yeah, it was right on the Silkouse Lake. So where

176
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.320
I was, it's a peninsula. It was where the camp

177
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.039
is located. It's a peninsula. And on the west side

178
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.279
of the peninsula is like Darlene's Marina, and there's there

179
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.279
are houses around the lake, is like vacation homes.

180
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:49.200
I believe there's a report on the BFRO that actually

181
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.600
mentions this same lake. From what I can see real quick,

182
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.399
I'm gonna have to look more into Oh there's actually

183
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.960
Oregon bigfoot dot Com has one too. Oh wow, yeah,

184
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.039
it looks like this area definitely is an active area

185
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.960
over the years. This is pretty cool man.

186
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.080
Thank you. And then oh, yeah, my grandpa. This was

187
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.360
probably be back in the eighties or nineties. He lives

188
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.080
in Klamath Falls. He was driving down Highway ninety seven

189
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.919
in between Bend and Klamath Falls, just getting off a

190
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.840
Highway fifty eight headed back down into town, and he said, well,

191
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.720
he was driving, it's probably about one o'clock in the morning.

192
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.440
He had one cross right in front of him in

193
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:35.799
the road.

194
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:44.519
Really yeah. Did he ever share with you what he

195
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.440
noticed about it?

196
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.759
I he said, he's not a man in many words,

197
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.559
but he said that it just looks like your typical

198
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:59.919
Bigfoot and I saw it for just just a flash.

199
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.840
Wow. Being in that you're based out of Eugene, and

200
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.360
you did mention Oakridge. Have you heard any stories or

201
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.279
anything from the loll Dexter Oakridge area all that?

202
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:22.720
I not, really, I don't know many people from that area.

203
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:27.600
I do know up the Mackenzie River just before Blue

204
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:32.720
River at Ike's Pizza, I do know that they hold

205
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.799
bigfoot meetings. I think weekly or bi weekly.

206
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.399
Yeah, so I actually went to Ike's Pizza about a

207
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.480
month ago when I was in Oakridge. And so the

208
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:48.120
thing about Ike's Pizza that is a thing where an

209
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.919
individual used to do that they don't currently anymore. But

210
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.559
it is very cool to visit. You can see there's

211
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.000
the big bigfoot that's kind of taxidermy but not really.

212
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.799
And they have a pretty good picture on the wall

213
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.159
of one that was taken down Overridge. It's pretty cool.

214
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.120
Oh that's cool.

215
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.120
No, yeah, definitely definitely worth checking out. They're trying to

216
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.799
sell it, so I would check it out, not wait

217
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.519
too long. But wow, I mean, thank you so much

218
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.840
for coming up and for sharing your story about what

219
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.240
you experience. What an incredible account.

220
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.120
Yeah, of course, thank you for having me.

221
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:28.960
You got it. There was a comment. Okay, Christina, I

222
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.799
see your comment about your dad worked for BLM for

223
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.720
twenty eight years saw a female bigfoot in Dean's Creek

224
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.120
and Oregon. If your dad would be up for sharing

225
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.000
about what he experienced, have him email me at Bigfoot

226
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.000
Society at gmail dot com. That would be fantastic. Hi there,

227
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.360
how are you?

228
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.799
Hello? Hi?

229
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.120
How are you doing? Hello?

230
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.080
Hey? How's it going great?

231
00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.559
Great?

232
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.759
Did you have a big foot encounter to share?

233
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.480
Yes? Sorry, but that I'm commuting right now.

234
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.200
I got about a three hour drive here, so I'm

235
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.240
getting you set up so it's not distracted.

236
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.159
But yeah, So.

237
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.279
Starting out, it was December twenty twenty four. I don't

238
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.200
know if you've recently seen a lot of the news

239
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.559
that's been going on in Huffman, Texas. It's a small

240
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.519
suburb out of Houston here in.

241
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.159
Southeast Texas that haven't.

242
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.039
Okay, there's been a lot of uptick of stuff going

243
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.639
around and a lot of rule stories.

244
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.960
But basically what's.

245
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.559
Been going on is that there's been a large influx

246
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.320
of of I guess, deforestation and building into some of

247
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.519
these more rural communities.

248
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.519
Out here on the outside of the Houston.

249
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.679
It's been pushing a lot of wildlife more towards kind

250
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.080
of like the suburbs and stuff.

251
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.679
And how the encounter started.

252
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.519
I was just out with my buddies. We were doing

253
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.759
a couple of fishing. We were out there. We actually

254
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:07.759
had one of my buddy's grandfather out there and right

255
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.240
on the peak of Christmas. I don't know if you

256
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.039
know Texas Christmas. It's not really like cold. It's pretty bearable,

257
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:18.879
but clear as day over like a wooded pond pond

258
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.840
area over the bank.

259
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.879
We all four saw what could have been bigfoot. It

260
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.039
could have been something else.

261
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.679
But what really solidified it for me is when we

262
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.039
like got regained and started backtracking and trying to find

263
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.840
whatever that silhouette was. When we got over to the hill,

264
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.320
there was a gigantic footprint like something that I have

265
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.519
never seen. And I will email you a picture of

266
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.120
this footprint. Naturally anywhere I've never seen a footprint this

267
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.399
big like it wasn't like it wasn't like a you know,

268
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.679
like a I guess, like what could have been like

269
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:03.000
a bear footprint or anything. This was like somebody either

270
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.039
put it out there and.

271
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:14.839
Oh no, bah, he's gone. That's so frustrating. I hate

272
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:20.160
when TikTok does that. I am sorry, it looks like

273
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:26.039
we had a disconnect there. We're gonna go ahead and

274
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:33.519
keep moving on here. I see your comment about Gindler

275
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.160
Park in Earlham, Iowa. Are you trying to see Goldener Woods,

276
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.799
and if you are, what stories do you have about

277
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:46.440
Goldener Woods? I would be very curious to know. Hey, Joel,

278
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.359
how are you good? How are you doing great? Are

279
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.599
you coming up to share a bigfoot encounter you've had?

280
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.319
Yeah?

281
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.599
Actually I sent you an email.

282
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.960
It's been several months ago, but I had an account

283
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:05.000
back in two thousand and one with my family. Okay, yeah,

284
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.799
we were We were actually traveling to South Georgia and

285
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.960
going down I sixteen to the coast, and this was

286
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.799
early in the morning, about the beginning of April, and

287
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.599
had literally it was my wife and I and my

288
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:28.279
truck and my mother and father in the car beside us,

289
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:29.880
and we were driving down. This is just as the

290
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:31.640
sun was coming up, and we were in a rural

291
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:36.759
area of Middle Georgia, just probably about eighty miles from

292
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:42.440
Fort Stewart, and there was the depiction of this. I

293
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.599
actually reported this in the early two thousands to the BFRO.

294
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.000
The unusual part was that I still to this day

295
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.440
remember every vivid piece of what happened that day, and

296
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.680
so my wife.

297
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.319
Does too, which is she's sitting right beside me.

298
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:01.359
I'm sure she doesn't want to share either. But as

299
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:06.039
we're coming down this hill where I sixteen splits into

300
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.200
a wide area going into kind of almost like a marshland,

301
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.720
which is when I say marsh during this time frame,

302
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.680
it was a heavily wooded area, but there was like

303
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.160
a swamp area to the right. And as we came

304
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.640
down the hill, there was a semi probably not more

305
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.519
than one hundred and fifty two hundred yards in front

306
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.319
of me, and then two cars in front of myself

307
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.400
in the fast lane. The semi was in the far

308
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.839
right lane, and when I say semi, was one of

309
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.079
the old Peterbilt trucks, so the very tall nose, long

310
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:44.440
nosed trucks. We witnessed this black figure come out of

311
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.000
the swamp and cross over the two lanes in this

312
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.000
like I can only explain it as the most fluid

313
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.200
motion I've ever seen. I mean, it was like arms

314
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.079
were barely moving, but it crossed two lanes of traffic

315
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:03.880
literally within feet of the s Peterbilt semi with then

316
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.799
I mean probably yards at the front of that truck

317
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.799
and just crossed over the highway. I lost track of it,

318
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.359
and I was kind of literally just baffled and kind

319
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.559
of confused by what I was witnessing. As I looked

320
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.240
over my wife, she looked at me and was like,

321
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.680
what was that? My phone rings at the exact same time,

322
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.839
and it's my mother in the car beside us, and

323
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.920
she she was like, did you see that? And I

324
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.359
was like, yeah, of course I did, and we were

325
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.400
She was like, what do you think that was? And

326
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:39.480
I was like, I had no idea, and I was

327
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.160
I mean, it was really kind of one of those

328
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.319
moments where it was like a dazed and confused moment. Anyways,

329
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.480
it crossed over, went through the median, which the median

330
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.759
had to been probably over one hundred and fifty yards wide,

331
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.400
and went through another creek bed, and then crossed over

332
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:58.319
the westbound lanes of I sixteen. And now I didn't

333
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:02.000
see it crossed through the the median. My wife did

334
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.839
and saw it literally crossed before we even got to

335
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.079
where it had crossed in front of us. It crossed

336
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.559
over and went up an embankment back into another woodlands,

337
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:16.039
and we were I mean, it was just one of

338
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.480
those moments where we were all baffled. But I remember

339
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:25.160
coming up to the semi the truck driver and I

340
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.880
leaned down. Of course, I had a decent sized truck.

341
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:30.960
So I leaned down and looked up at him and

342
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.680
just kind of shrugged my shoulders and looked at him

343
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.039
and was like, you know, what was that? And this

344
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:40.759
guy had literally both hands on his steering wheel, white knuckled,

345
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.279
and his eyes were huge, and he just looked at

346
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:48.720
me and shrugged his shoulders like he was just completely baffled. Now,

347
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.200
the unusual part that I add to all this is

348
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:55.480
that our hunting property is probably not more than as

349
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.920
a crow flies maybe eighty miles from there. And we've

350
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:04.400
had myself, both of my sons have had some very

351
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.839
unusual encounters in there. Nothing that we've seen physically like

352
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.640
that morning, But that was one of those instances where

353
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.359
we just had I had multiple witnesses and to this day,

354
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.680
like my mother is not my mother and father are

355
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.960
both are non believers, very very religious, you know, Christian believers,

356
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.480
and and myself a Christian. I was, you know, kind

357
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.680
of baffled because the figure we saw was just very tall.

358
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.720
I would say, you know, when I've heard a lot

359
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.119
of other descriptions where they're just massive and muscular and

360
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:42.200
all this this thing was very skinny and just I

361
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.240
would say tall, because when you look at I'm six

362
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:49.079
foot four and I've actually just for depiction, you know,

363
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.960
just to see, I've stood in front of one of

364
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.200
those long nose Peterbilt trucks and the nose of those

365
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.880
trucks are just at my forehead. And this thing, you

366
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.160
could see its head little come over the top of

367
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.039
the nose of that truck. O.

368
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:04.359
Wow.

369
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.559
Yeah.

370
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.079
So anyways, I had to share the story. I've shared

371
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.519
it with you via email before, and it was one

372
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.240
of those moments. It's always I've always kind of questioned

373
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.079
it because of some unusual things that have.

374
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.279
Happened to me early on in life.

375
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.680
Which was a whole nother story. But I always attributed

376
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.960
it to because I've grown up hunting, fishing, you know,

377
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:32.640
living in grown up around a farm, and you know,

378
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.799
being in the woods the majority of my life. I've

379
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.480
always attributed to other like different animals, bobcats, where you

380
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.400
hear unusual noises and so forth. But anyways, that's that's

381
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.359
the one encounter that I could truly say I could

382
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:54.400
never I, myself, my wife, nor my parents have ever

383
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:59.039
been able to literally quantify or say, okay, that this

384
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.359
could possibly be something else, you know, because we were

385
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.559
back in the two thousands. That area was so underdeveloped

386
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.359
that there were no homes within I won't say homes.

387
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.519
There were farms, but no residential areas within miles.

388
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.880
Wow. Well, Joel, I'm glad that you were in here

389
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.640
and you're able to share that. Are you cool if

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.839

405
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:09.720
good to see again.

406
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.240
Hello, how you don Hey?

407
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:14.880
Pretty good?

408
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.640
What brings you up?

409
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:15.839
Man?

410
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:25.000
I was thinking, and I remember back in nineteen seventy three,

411
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.920
I was duck hunting with my father and his best

412
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:37.640
friend in Springfield, Tennessee, and we were fixing to put

413
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.759
the boat in and this was in January.

414
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:48.079
Of seventy three, and of course they were busy getting

415
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.799
the boat in, getting things ready, and I had a

416
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:55.359
flashlight and I was shining around and there were patches

417
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.319
of snow around, and we were in the.

418
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:05.039
Springfield Bottom in West Tennessee, and I found a footprint.

419
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:11.200
It was probably seventeen eighteen inches long. And I called

420
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.839
them over there and they come looked and we were

421
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:19.839
talking about it, and about that same time there was

422
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:25.400
a vocalization and I have never heard anything like it

423
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:31.640
before in my life. And we were just kind of

424
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:37.079
bum puzzled for a couple of minutes, and of course

425
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.039
it quit, and then we just got in a boat

426
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:51.920
and went duck on. But it was a shrill, kind

427
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.599
of like a cross between a scream and a howl.

428
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:01.519
I just thought i'd build that in there.

429
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.240
Well, Bob, I appreciate you coming up and sharing another story.

430
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:10.680
It's good to hear from you again. Do you mind

431
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:14.200
if I use this audio on my Bigfoot podcast?

432
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:16.079
Not at all?

433
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.000
All right, Always good to hear from you. Thanks for

434
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:25.200
coming up, Bob, Uh huh, good stuff. Good? So are

435
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.400
you doing good? Just having a good chat with some

436
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.240
people about their sightings. It's a good night.

437
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.160
Yeah.

438
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:36.960
Yeah, I was like thinking about more things that I

439
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.839
feel like I saw since the other I had told

440
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.640
you the story from way back long ago too, and

441
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.960
then I kind of was like thinking about more things

442
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.839
a little bit. Like I was out in Ohio Pile

443
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.920
State Park, like maybe two months ago, back in June,

444
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.400
the end of June. I was out there and I

445
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.079
was like, it was my first time visiting out there.

446
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.240
We went camping and I was out there to go

447
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:07.759
visit my older daughter, and I was like wow, this,

448
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.319
like these trees are so huge, and I was like

449
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.720
it looks like, you know, the kind of forests like

450
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.559
a sasquatch would live in. And I was just saying it,

451
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:20.319
you know, like that like I wasn't like thinking I

452
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.000
was gonna like see you one, you know, and I

453
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.039
just kind of using it as a figure of speech

454
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.839
because it's like I don't know if you've been to

455
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.359
like western Pennsylvania, but like the Allegheny Passage and like

456
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:31.160
Ohio Pile.

457
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.839
I was like, wow, I.

458
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.039
Like that was my first time there. I was like

459
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:37.640
really amazed. I was like if I was like, it

460
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.279
feels like we're in the Pacific Northwest or something, and

461
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:47.039
so then like we were at camping and we're in

462
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.920
we actually did like car camping kind of thing, like

463
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:54.319
in the Tesla, And so I looked over at my

464
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.960
husband's like three in the morning, and I saw like

465
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.920
a vision almost like of a sasquatch. But I forget

466
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:04.680
what it was. He was if he woke up and

467
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.920
he was saying something or whatever it was, and it

468
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.880
was like, I don't know, three in the morning, and

469
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.720
I felt like I saw like a vision of one

470
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.400
not like a not a physical one like it just

471
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:20.359
more like an apparition, you know. And I don't know

472
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.480
if it's just like I listened to your thing, so

473
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.480
maybe it was more of.

474
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.480
A you know, I don't know. He never know, but no,

475
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.599
I totally get it.

476
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.440
I don't know.

477
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.079
It was just like that's the only thing the other

478
00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:34.279
time I've had like other stuff like that.

479
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.279
But it was just wild.

480
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.960
I don't know, was it what was it doing? In

481
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:40.279
what you saw?

482
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.079
It was like kind of like he was saying that.

483
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:54.519
I felt like he was telepathically communicating to me. It

484
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.640
felt that he was saying like he my husband. I

485
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.480
think my husband was like arguing. I really I don't remember.

486
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.279
It was like so late at night, So I'm not

487
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.079
sure if we were arguing about like we kind of

488
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.559
really get comfortable. I don't know. And so I felt

489
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:12.119
that it was like sort of saying that something bad

490
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.359
was going to happen. To my husband, it felt that

491
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.400
he was yeah.

492
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:20.440
I don't know, Wow, Yeah, I don't know.

493
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:22.559
I don't That's like it was more of a telepathic

494
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:28.759
like it was feeling like, you know, I don't I

495
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.839
don't know. It was just like so late at night,

496
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.640
We're in the middle of like that huge park. It's

497
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.319
like a huge day park, and like it was just

498
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.440
really really cool area. I want to go explore there

499
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:46.480
more for sure. So I was really just going out

500
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.200
there to go visit her, and and then when I

501
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:50.759
got out there, I was like, I'm like in the

502
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:52.720
middle of like Bigfoot country.

503
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.200
It was.

504
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.160
Yeah, it was just it was just really like a coincidence,

505
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.720
like it was. I was like, uh, I'm literally like

506
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:06.119
in the middle of nowhere, you know, like our our GPS's,

507
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.640
our phones. I couldn't even listen to your podcast I

508
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:11.880
wanted if I wanted to, because the phones weren't working,

509
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.039
you know what I mean. Like it we were just

510
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:16.640
out there so I don't know if we were like

511
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.359
a little more moody because we're, like, you know, so

512
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.640
disconnected from everything.

513
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:21.079
I don't know.

514
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.519
Anyway, that was.

515
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.039
Just my little, fun, little thing, and I just saw

516
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.759
sort of like an apparition of one. It wasn't like

517
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.160
a physical one, but I did feel a closeness to Sasquatch,

518
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:35.759
whether good or bad. I didn't feel like a malevolent

519
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.440
feeling towards me. I feel like there's just so many

520
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.240
times in my life there's been these things that have

521
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:43.440
sort of happened, and I kind of just like overlooked

522
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:46.319
them or whatever, you know, Like I feel like I've

523
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:48.680
just had sort of like not like any major, like

524
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.759
in your face experiences, sort of like just these little

525
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.440
random things. Anyway, But I'll let you go.

526
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.400
I appreciate you coming up. It's good to talk to

527
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.400

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.640
I'm sure chat again.

529
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.279
Okay, thank you, have a good one, all right, take care.

530
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:10.440
Yeah, let's see and one need to get caught up

531
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.559
with the commas Kia. Good to see. Uh didn't mind, Ryan,

532
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:18.839
didn't mean to rhyme that. Sorry. I do still want

533
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:22.839
to talk to you if you are up for it.

534
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:27.119
I would love to talk to you on the podcast

535
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.279
about your experience. Kia says, there's a man in Oakridge

536
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.160
who was rescued by one when he was a child. Really, Kia,

537
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:37.039
that I've never heard of that. I need, man, we

538
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.240
need to talk. I need to talk to that guy.

539
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:41.880
If he's willing to talk, that would be an incredible

540
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:48.400
account to get recorded. Oh, here we go, you want

541
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:51.240
to hear? Yeah, what's up?

542
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:51.839
All right?

543
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.240
So this is a man. You know, I talked to

544
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.839
everybody you've met me. So I was talking to this

545
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:59.720
man in rais and the grocery store in Oakridge, and

546
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.279
he he was saying that when he was a child,

547
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.279
his dad worked for the lumber company, and his mom

548
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.880
basically stayed home and took care of him. And they

549
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.680
lived pretty far out there, so they had their house

550
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:15.400
was basically in the woods, but they had like a

551
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.480
big grassy field by their house, and back then people

552
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.960
just let their kids explore. So on one of these days,

553
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.559
he was seven years old, he went out into the woods,

554
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.480
was climbing on some boulders and the boulder shifted and

555
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:33.039
he fell. The boulder landed on his foot, so he

556
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:35.839
was stuck, broke his ankle. He couldn't move, he couldn't

557
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:41.920
lift the boulder, and he was telling me that basically

558
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:46.519
this he didn't know how to describe him, but he

559
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.200
called him like a dog faced man, bigger than a man,

560
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.079
gently lifted the boulder off of his foot, carried him

561
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:55.440
all the way to his house, to the edge of

562
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:57.920
the clearing where the grass was, and left him where

563
00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.119
his parents could find him.

564
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:08.360
Whoa no way, Oh my goodness that is Did he

565
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:10.599
say approximately what year that would have been?

566
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:14.880
Oh, probably fifty sixty years ago.

567
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.840
Okay, so what was that sixties seventies?

568
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:22.639
Probably?

569
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.719
Yeah, probably, I think that sounds about right.

570
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:28.920
That's incredible.

571
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:29.679
Yeah, he said he.

572
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.679
Didn't know how to describe him, but he said he

573
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:33.800
said he told his parents that the dog faced man

574
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.360
saved him.

575
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.880
I lifted a boulder off of his his ankle.

576
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.760
Gently picked him up, and carried him all the way home,

577
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.559
left him right at the edge of the trees, in

578
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.440
the grass where his parents could find him.

579
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.440
That's wild. And you said that was way out in

580
00:34:54.480 --> 00:35:01.000
the six in Oakridge. Yes, oh my goodness. Is that

581
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:05.559
a guy where you know how to get in contact

582
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:07.760
with him or you just randomly saw him that raise.

583
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.280
I just random I just randomly talked to people, period.

584
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.400
I love it. There's so many stories in that town.

585
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:15.280
It's incredible.

586
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.800
Yeah, a lot of people here have experiences. A girl

587
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.719
I know when she was when she was little, her

588
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:26.079
and her mom were out in a in Lowell swimming

589
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:29.519
on the beach there, and she was on the beach

590
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.159
and her mom was about one hundred yards out in

591
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:34.440
the water, and her mom saw one on the same beach,

592
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.519
basically the same distance away from the beach that she

593
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:40.880
was from her daughter down the beach.

594
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:43.239
Oh my goodness.

595
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.639
So she swam back in as quick as she could,

596
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:47.119
grabbed her daughter and.

597
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:53.719
Left and was that at Lookout Point Lake? That the

598
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.960
big lake over there.

599
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:59.719
It's I think it's Dexter Lake over on the Lowell side.

600
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:01.480
Do you remember I showed you on the map where

601
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:02.480
I had my experience.

602
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:04.000
You did, yep?

603
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:09.960
Yeah. My son, who was I want to say, he

604
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:15.159
was four at the time. Where we were camped. There's

605
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:18.480
like a drop off, a really steep hill and he

606
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.159
was just standing there on the edge of the hill

607
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:24.679
just watching something. I'm like, what are you doing? And

608
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.559
he said to me that there was a purple bear

609
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:31.920
walking on his hind legs walking through the woods, and

610
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:34.639
I am like purple. He's like, yeah, like Superman's hair,

611
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:40.400
but purple. So by the time I got over there,

612
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.679
you couldn't see anything. But at that same site that

613
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:50.960
same week, we had things thrown at our RV. One night,

614
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:54.320
in the middle of the night, I heard a bunch

615
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.079
of large things go through our camp. I stayed inside

616
00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:59.360
because I had the kids with me and they're all

617
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:07.440
little at the time. It sounded like the only thing

618
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.440
I can equate it to is a family of bigfoot

619
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:15.159
walking through my camp making owl noises. And it sounded like,

620
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.039
based on proximity, like there was a little one on

621
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.880
another one's shoulders trying to make the same sounds but

622
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:24.960
not doing as good of a job. And I don't

623
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:27.199
know if you're familiar with owls, but owls are silent

624
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.880
when they fly. They don't make as much noise as

625
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.239
I heard outside of our r V that night. Yeah,

626
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:43.880
that same encampment that same week, that stereotypical bigfoot sound

627
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.559
you hear on all the Bigfoot Hunter shows. At that point,

628
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:50.440
I'd never heard that sound before. I'd never watched any

629
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.280
of those Bigfoot sound bigfoot shows, so I didn't. I

630
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.840
had no idea that that's what it was. But we

631
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:59.320
heard there were two of them calling back and forth

632
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.000
to each other, like trying to figure out what it

633
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.039
could be. We're like, I know that there's a lot

634
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.840
of people come here to bicycle, so we figured maybe

635
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.400
maybe some bicyclists were just trying to mess with people.

636
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.360
But it in the area. It was there aren't any

637
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.440
bike trails up that way. M it was we were

638
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.440
deep in the woods.

639
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:26.840
What what was the year again for the incident at

640
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:27.639
the campsite?

641
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:33.639
Let's see here, we've been here ten years, so it

642
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:35.679
would have been ten years ago because we were living

643
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.440
in our RV when we first moved up here.

644
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:45.280
Yeah, did you see any Were there ever any footprints

645
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.840
or or maybe like damaged trees or anything in the area.

646
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.039
You know, I didn't even think to look back then,

647
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.360
but we did find what looked like bear scat in

648
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:02.360
our camp the next day. Gotcha, it was big and

649
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:03.119
it was gross.

650
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:10.079
Okay, hey, well, yeah, fair enough, this is weird. I

651
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.239
just talked to a gentleman different part of the country,

652
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:17.199
and I would need to think back where that is.

653
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:22.880
I can't remember now. But he did. He did say

654
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:30.760
that what he saw had purplish skin, interesting, purplish gray skin.

655
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.360
I was like, that sounds very close to what I

656
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.360
heard someone say over an organ.

657
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:43.599
And my son that saw it, he's he's my spock child.

658
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:49.599
He doesn't he's on the spectrum, so he doesn't understand,

659
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.719
I mean, especially back then, doesn't understand sarcasm or when,

660
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.119
or doesn't know how to lie.

661
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.119
I get it. Yep, he says he sees.

662
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.320
He saw something, then he saw something, period.

663
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:07.239
Absolutely, Yeah, it was.

664
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:07.679
It was that.

665
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.320
He was adamant that he saw he saw it, and

666
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.320
it was walking on its hind legs like a man.

667
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:22.159
M Have you ever shared your story with Priscilla at

668
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:22.719
the museum?

669
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:28.239
I might have. Okay, I shall probably tell her and

670
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:29.519
not since she's opened up.

671
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.719
Her store, I think she'd be very interested.

672
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:35.800
Yeah, okay, I will. I will call her then I've

673
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:36.400
got her number.

674
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:40.360
Awesome. Yeah, man, I'm so glad we were able to

675
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:41.320
talk again finally.

676
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:43.880
Yeah, I'm glad I got to show you on the

677
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:44.719
map where that was.

678
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:51.360
Yes, it's extremely extremely interesting. Oh the thing about that

679
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:56.440
postal worker, it's it's kind of out eventually, but she

680
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.039
uh so she had a sighting. And then the next

681
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:01.280
day you want to pick up the mail at the

682
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:04.360
post office and there is a ranger there and the

683
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.719
ranger what she told the ranger what happened. And the

684
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.440
ranger was like, yeah, we had about thirteen reports from

685
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:14.719
Little Fall Creek that same night. Wow, oh my goodness.

686
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:16.960
But this is like ten years ago, around twenty fourteen.

687
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:17.280
Nice.

688
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:18.920
Nice to have validation.

689
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:20.719
It's always nice.

690
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:21.000
