BIGFOOT PARK (Member's Only)

0:01 All right, Big for Society. It's time for the special members only episode for this week, and man, it is a wild one. I found an individual named Craig on Facebook had a really interesting post about what he'd been experiencing in a certain place in Tennessee. And when he starts sharing what's going on in this area, it is amazing. I mean, you'll get it once it starts unfold, but I mean I'm calling this place Bigfoot Park in Tennessee. It is intense. Again, thank you so much for your support all and enjoy this episode, so let's get on with the show. What follows is a ten minute teaser of this episode. If you'd like to hear the whole thing, you can become a YouTube channel member by joining the second tier Bigfoot Posse tier, or you can become a Patreon supporting member over at patreon dot com forward slash Bigfoot Society. Enjoy. All Right, Big Faciety.

0:56 We get the privilege of talking to Craig today. We're going to be talking to Craig about his research that he's got going on down there in Tennessee. Craig is a gentleman. Where I saw a post that he had made on Facebook, about some interesting things that he's been looking into in Tennessee. So I reached out to them and he was willing to come and chat for a member's only episode, and so here we are. But thanks for coming on, Craig, no problem, Thanks for having me. Man excited, nervous, absolutely, yeah. I mean we were chatting a little bit beforehand, and I was like, oh man, yeah, this is gonna be this is gonna be good stuff. This is gonna be more of a guided interview kind of, you know, we're going off of each other, so it'd be good times. Tell me, how did you get into the whole Bigfoot thing to begin with? There, Craig, totally by accident. I know it's the same story everybody does. But like I've just gave up on society, just was going through a lot of personal stuff and I was like, I got to get back to the woods. I'm just gonna go high.

2:00 That's where I feel good. I just started walking and I stumbled upon a print and I was like, this is there's no shot, this is real. You know, whatever took pictures didn't know what I was doing, didn't know anything about taking pictures. I took a couple of pictures. I put my hand aside of it. I've definitely come to find out I'm crap at taking pictures. I don't know how to do the scale. I know how big my hand is, but you obviously don't. But you know, I didn't know that at the time. But I took a picture of it, and that was cool. Kept walking there again. I didn't know anything about Everybody knows bigfoot, you know, whatever, But that's not my problem. That's not where I live. It's whatever. I'm sure it could exist.

2:42 I didn't care here and there, but the prints were really big footprints. There were three of them originally right there. I took the pictures, took the videos, didn't know what I was doing, kept on walking again. I was just out here getting away, didn't you know. Started finding a lot of other stuff on the same high I followed a I've not posted a lot of this, I've not talked about a lot of this, but I followed a particular set of tracks that kind of freaked me out a little bit because I kept following them, and I've got pictures of them, but they follow them close to six miles. I know that sounds incredible, and I'm sure it does, but just to reference after this, I do a lot of my hikes or to clear my mind to do whatever. So I'm not doing like two mile hawks. I averaged like ten to twelve mile hawks the second set of tracks. Because again I didn't know what I was doing.

3:34 I didn't know anything about the Bigfoot around here. Like I said, I thought it was Oregon, Washington if anywhere I'm in a public place. I followed these tracks. It was pretty crazy. I took pictures, no big deal. I posted the first prints or the first the trackway of three. I got a lot of posts. I got to look in for some people, just to see what's going on, some researchers Tennessee. I got hooked up with a couple a couple of guys, and then from there it's just been a whirlwind. I've met some crazy I've met some crazy people, and my life has been crazy. But I've also met some very interesting people, some genuine people, some people that I would never ever get a chance to meet that had not been Bigfoot. And I've done some stuff, and like I told you in the pre interview, I kind of hang out with some famous people. I've been around famous people, but it's nothing like what you do Bigfoot. It's a quote that I get from doctor John Barnshawk.

4:35 I don't know if you guys know him. He's always told me Bigfoot levels of playing field and it don't matter who you are. You know, he's a PhD. I'm a semi mechanic, and we talk on a regular basis. I mean, you wouldn't have that had it not been for like Bigfoot, you know. But since then, I've just been going obsessed. Something made footprints and I want to find out what it is. And as I follow those footprints, I'm finding man I found in the tree structures, the knocks, the sounds. I mean, you just you name it everything, but an actual I guess they say class A visual and I won't guarantee that I've not had that because, like I said earlier, there's been some stuff going on that I'm not even able to process lately. I don't know who are. You want you want to share things with people like that's my whole thing is share it. But you don't want to share everything with say the Wu clan, you know what I mean, And then they're automatically going to tell you what you're experiencing is wou and then that's what you get until someone else knows you and you're already formed your opinion. So it's like, I don't It's not that I'm withholding some of the stuff that I've got going on.

5:46 I'm still processing it to see where I fall in it before I ask questions. But yeah, I mean there's a lot going on where I'm at. I told you before I send your eyes light up from there every weekend. Man, that's wild. Before I want to ask about the tracks real quick, especially the ones with a six mile Jack, was that in the state park that you're that way? Everything, everything that I've done, everything that I have posted or talked about is there. Okay. I've even got other people's research that has been given to me from that area. So and like I said, I've met some really famous people in this field that have They've They've shared with me just because I don't I'm not in it for the fame or nothing. They know I'm in it. I don't know what I'm in it for, but it definitely isn't for money. So they're like helping me out. I'm helping them out. I share it with them and as you know this area's pre NEETs. Yeah, before I ask the question, we're just gonna for a second. So Craig is in a state park in Tennessee. That's the most we're gonna would talk about it. But he has said that I can put his email address in the description for those if people want to contact him directly. Correct. Yeah, yeah, okay, So and just you want to go a little deeper, you can. Yeah, there's a After I've done, you know, six to eight months of research

7:18 here, I've found out that there's multiple BFRO investigations in this area. Real really, dang, I knew. I don't know if I'm allowed to Well, let's not say it's a BFR investigation so much as some members are there. Yeah, can I say that? What that means? I want to say event, But I know these people are members and they come to this area. I think you could, Yeah, I think you would say that. I don't know if people are paying money to come out to these events versus these are just some people that are members of the bf RO O that are yeah, going there. Can I that's more accurate? I think maybe we'll say that it's been proven to you that the area is definitely active by things you've found out about. There are other people researching this areas from what it sounds like, Yeah, and I personally have got multiple signings. I'm going back fifty years in ten years. Yeah, goodness. And I've not been doing this this long. You know. This is just like I've say people, I say, hey, I'm into bigfoot. This is crazy now, this is what I do, and they make fun of you. And then when they come back next week stealing that bigfoot stuff, Yeah I'm still into it, they make fun of you again. But then the third week they're like, well, let me just tell you what happened to me.

8:46 Yeah, And you know when I get I'm getting stories. I mean, these are people that someone really close to me that if he told me that I was not a human being, that I was a turtle right now, that thought I was a human, then I'll just tell you right now that from here on out and my whole life's been a lot, I'm a turtle, like says something. That's how it is. I know, as far fetch as it is, that's what it is. Former military career, everything right. He told me about a siding in this area while he was in the military, not that the military was there. He was just in the military at this time. Driving through, he seen a tall, dark figure cross in front of him, step over which I don't know if you if you've been here. Okay, So not only we don't have guard girls.

9:43 They make everything is like say two by two square stone stacks, but up about four foot high, and they'll put a post in between them as the fence. Yep. So this creature stepped over that like it was nothing and kept crossing. This was in I want to say seventy eight or seventy nine when this happened. He's not been back since, and he's been to war since, and he won't go back there. The next day after this happened, they were called into their commanding officers chambers office. I'm not in the military. I don't even want to try and butcher everything, but it outranked him. Had a phone call from this county's local police station, I guess he'd be the county sheriff whatever, asking them what they saw what they seen because they had told the people at the base, and then they called him and they said, well, they had had reports of a bunch of wild hogs and been ripped apart on the adjacent farm in this area and wanted to know what they seen because if it would have correlate it in the general direction.

10:50 And that's why he doesn't go back to this area. And he told me that after I didn't tell him where I was at. This is in the same I've said it one of my videos. I've got it narrowed down. I'm not saying I know where Bigfoot is, but from the signings that I've encountered and the miles that I've logged there, it's basically two ridges and a valley that I've got fifty years worth of stuff in. We've localed it down to there, and there's more going on. Like I say, one of the areas I've got access to, there was a Russian that came over a few years back, well few years, several years, and he stayed in this area. He said, in this one area for six weeks solid researching. I've got access to that area in some of his notes.

I had a listener comment, hey, what's a current update with the road to getting to full time. Well, here's the deal.

13:26 The push, as if you've seen on social media, is well, now I've kind of tweetd it a little bit, so amount of calculations, once we get eight hundred and twenty four people in the Patreon we should be good to go. So what I did is we're going to do it a little bit differently. It's now adding the current amount plus the amount that are joining, and there's tons of people joining every day. It's wild, guys. So right now, where one hundred and seventy six members are in there ready to go out of the eight hundred twenty four that are needed in order for us to go full time, that puts us at about twenty two percent.

14:07 So if you've been putting around back and forth the idea of joining the Big Foot Society Patreon, now's the time. I'm telling you it's time to check it out. Seven dollars a month starts fifteen dollars a month as well, but seven dollars a month is a great place to start.

15:31 Maybe there's somebody else out there listening it's too afraid to tell their story. Maybe this will give them the courage to come out. And I feel so bad about it. Who cares what anybody's thinks. I know what I saw, I know what's out there. That's all I care. Please let people know, Please let them know. If you ever see one of these things, you need to tell because if you don't, then shame on you, you know, shame on you.
