00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:06.280
All right, Big for Society.
It's time for the special members only episode

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.039
for this week, and man,
it is a wild one. I found

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.400
an individual named Craig on Facebook had
a really interesting post about what he'd been

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.519
experiencing in a certain place in Tennessee. And when he starts sharing what's going

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.239
on in this area, it is
amazing. I mean, you'll get it

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:28.559
once it starts unfold, but I
mean I'm calling this place Bigfoot Park in

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.119
Tennessee. It is intense. Again, thank you so much for your support

13
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.719
We get the privilege of talking to
Craig today. We're going to be

14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.599
talking to Craig about his research that
he's got going on down there in Tennessee.

15
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.359
Craig is a gentleman. Where I
saw a post that he had made

16
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.159
on Facebook, about some interesting things
that he's been looking into in Tennessee.

17
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.200
So I reached out to them and
he was willing to come and chat for

18
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.159
a member's only episode, and so
here we are. But thanks for coming

19
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.640
on, Craig, no problem,
Thanks for having me. Man excited,

20
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.200
nervous, absolutely, yeah. I
mean we were chatting a little bit beforehand,

21
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:34.920
and I was like, oh man, yeah, this is gonna be

22
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.719
this is gonna be good stuff.
This is gonna be more of a guided

23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.280
interview kind of, you know,
we're going off of each other, so

24
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.319
it'd be good times. Tell me, how did you get into the whole

25
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.280
Bigfoot thing to begin with? There, Craig, totally by accident. I

26
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.319
know it's the same story everybody does. But like I've just gave up on

27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.200
society, just was going through a
lot of personal stuff and I was like,

28
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.959
I got to get back to the
woods. I'm just gonna go high.

29
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.519
That's where I feel good. I
just started walking and I stumbled upon

30
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.919
a print and I was like,
this is there's no shot, this is

31
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.199
real. You know, whatever took
pictures didn't know what I was doing,

32
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.759
didn't know anything about taking pictures.
I took a couple of pictures. I

33
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.639
put my hand aside of it.
I've definitely come to find out I'm crap

34
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.280
at taking pictures. I don't know
how to do the scale. I know

35
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.639
how big my hand is, but
you obviously don't. But you know,

36
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.280
I didn't know that at the time. But I took a picture of it,

37
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.680
and that was cool. Kept walking
there again. I didn't know anything

38
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.759
about Everybody knows bigfoot, you know, whatever, But that's not my problem.

39
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.319
That's not where I live. It's
whatever. I'm sure it could exist.

40
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.599
I didn't care here and there,
but the prints were really big footprints.

41
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.039
There were three of them originally right
there. I took the pictures,

42
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.560
took the videos, didn't know what
I was doing, kept on walking again.

43
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.199
I was just out here getting away, didn't you know. Started finding

44
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.960
a lot of other stuff on the
same high I followed a I've not posted

45
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.840
a lot of this, I've not
talked about a lot of this, but

46
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.360
I followed a particular set of tracks
that kind of freaked me out a little

47
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.479
bit because I kept following them,
and I've got pictures of them, but

48
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.639
they follow them close to six miles. I know that sounds incredible, and

49
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.560
I'm sure it does, but just
to reference after this, I do a

50
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.560
lot of my hikes or to clear
my mind to do whatever. So I'm

51
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.919
not doing like two mile hawks.
I averaged like ten to twelve mile hawks

52
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.759
the second set of tracks. Because
again I didn't know what I was doing.

53
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.919
I didn't know anything about the Bigfoot
around here. Like I said,

54
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.719
I thought it was Oregon, Washington
if anywhere I'm in a public place.

55
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.680
I followed these tracks. It was
pretty crazy. I took pictures, no

56
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.520
big deal. I posted the first
prints or the first the trackway of three.

57
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.439
I got a lot of posts.
I got to look in for some

58
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.560
people, just to see what's going
on, some researchers Tennessee. I got

59
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.960
hooked up with a couple a couple
of guys, and then from there it's

60
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.719
just been a whirlwind. I've met
some crazy I've met some crazy people,

61
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.240
and my life has been crazy.
But I've also met some very interesting people,

62
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.439
some genuine people, some people that
I would never ever get a chance

63
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.720
to meet that had not been Bigfoot. And I've done some stuff, and

64
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.720
like I told you in the pre
interview, I kind of hang out with

65
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.120
some famous people. I've been around
famous people, but it's nothing like what

66
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.199
you do Bigfoot. It's a quote
that I get from doctor John Barnshawk.

67
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.600
I don't know if you guys know
him. He's always told me Bigfoot levels

68
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.839
of playing field and it don't matter
who you are. You know, he's

69
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.360
a PhD. I'm a semi mechanic, and we talk on a regular basis.

70
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.680
I mean, you wouldn't have that
had it not been for like Bigfoot,

71
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.639
you know. But since then,
I've just been going obsessed. Something

72
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.519
made footprints and I want to find
out what it is. And as I

73
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.519
follow those footprints, I'm finding man
I found in the tree structures, the

74
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.560
knocks, the sounds. I mean, you just you name it everything,

75
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.560
but an actual I guess they say
class A visual and I won't guarantee that

76
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.759
I've not had that because, like
I said earlier, there's been some stuff

77
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.879
going on that I'm not even able
to process lately. I don't know who

78
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.879
are. You want you want to
share things with people like that's my whole

79
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.639
thing is share it. But you
don't want to share everything with say the

80
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.439
Wu clan, you know what I
mean, And then they're automatically going to

81
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.439
tell you what you're experiencing is wou
and then that's what you get until someone

82
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:42.439
else knows you and you're already formed
your opinion. So it's like, I

83
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.759
don't It's not that I'm withholding some
of the stuff that I've got going on.

84
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.199
I'm still processing it to see where
I fall in it before I ask

85
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.160
questions. But yeah, I mean
there's a lot going on where I'm at.

86
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.240
I told you before I send your
eyes light up from there every weekend.

87
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.959
Man, that's wild. Before I
want to ask about the tracks real

88
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.040
quick, especially the ones with a
six mile Jack, was that in the

89
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.519
state park that you're that way?
Everything, everything that I've done, everything

90
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:23.560
that I have posted or talked about
is there. Okay. I've even got

91
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.800
other people's research that has been given
to me from that area. So and

92
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.360
like I said, I've met some
really famous people in this field that have

93
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.000
They've They've shared with me just because
I don't I'm not in it for the

94
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.120
fame or nothing. They know I'm
in it. I don't know what I'm

95
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.040
in it for, but it definitely
isn't for money. So they're like helping

96
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.959
me out. I'm helping them out. I share it with them and as

97
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:50.160
you know this area's pre NEETs.
Yeah, before I ask the question,

98
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:56.079
we're just gonna for a second.
So Craig is in a state park in

99
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.720
Tennessee. That's the most we're gonna
would talk about it. But he has

100
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.240
said that I can put his email
address in the description for those if people

101
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.680
want to contact him directly. Correct. Yeah, yeah, okay, So

102
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.600
and just you want to go a
little deeper, you can. Yeah,

103
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.160
there's a After I've done, you
know, six to eight months of research

104
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:27.360
here, I've found out that there's
multiple BFRO investigations in this area. Real

105
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:34.000
really, dang, I knew.
I don't know if I'm allowed to Well,

106
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.879
let's not say it's a BFR investigation
so much as some members are there.

107
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.600
Yeah, can I say that?
What that means? I want to

108
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.959
say event, But I know these
people are members and they come to this

109
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.079
area. I think you could,
Yeah, I think you would say that.

110
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.160
I don't know if people are paying
money to come out to these events

111
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.720
versus these are just some people that
are members of the bf RO O that

112
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.639
are yeah, going there. Can
I that's more accurate? I think maybe

113
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.120
we'll say that it's been proven to
you that the area is definitely active by

114
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.680
things you've found out about. There
are other people researching this areas from what

115
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:22.600
it sounds like, Yeah, and
I personally have got multiple signings. I'm

116
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.879
going back fifty years in ten years. Yeah, goodness. And I've not

117
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.759
been doing this this long. You
know. This is just like I've say

118
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.720
people, I say, hey,
I'm into bigfoot. This is crazy now,

119
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.639
this is what I do, and
they make fun of you. And

120
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.200
then when they come back next week
stealing that bigfoot stuff, Yeah I'm still

121
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.879
into it, they make fun of
you again. But then the third week

122
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.720
they're like, well, let me
just tell you what happened to me.

123
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.159
Yeah, And you know when I
get I'm getting stories. I mean,

124
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:58.919
these are people that someone really close
to me that if he told me that

125
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.080
I was not a human being,
that I was a turtle right now,

126
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.519
that thought I was a human,
then I'll just tell you right now that

127
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.879
from here on out and my whole
life's been a lot, I'm a turtle,

128
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.120
like says something. That's how it
is. I know, as far

129
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.159
fetch as it is, that's what
it is. Former military career, everything

130
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.080
right. He told me about a
siding in this area while he was in

131
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.240
the military, not that the military
was there. He was just in the

132
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:33.080
military at this time. Driving through, he seen a tall, dark figure

133
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.360
cross in front of him, step
over which I don't know if you if

134
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:43.559
you've been here. Okay, So
not only we don't have guard girls.

135
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:50.360
They make everything is like say two
by two square stone stacks, but up

136
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.360
about four foot high, and they'll
put a post in between them as the

137
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.360
fence. Yep. So this creature
stepped over that like it was nothing and

138
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.559
kept crossing. This was in I
want to say seventy eight or seventy nine

139
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.840
when this happened. He's not been
back since, and he's been to war

140
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.320
since, and he won't go back
there. The next day after this happened,

141
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:20.000
they were called into their commanding officers
chambers office. I'm not in the

142
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.000
military. I don't even want to
try and butcher everything, but it outranked

143
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.440
him. Had a phone call from
this county's local police station, I guess

144
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.879
he'd be the county sheriff whatever,
asking them what they saw what they seen

145
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.480
because they had told the people at
the base, and then they called him

146
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.399
and they said, well, they
had had reports of a bunch of wild

147
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.679
hogs and been ripped apart on the
adjacent farm in this area and wanted to

148
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.480
know what they seen because if it
would have correlate it in the general direction.

149
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.000
And that's why he doesn't go back
to this area. And he told

150
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.600
me that after I didn't tell him
where I was at. This is in

151
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.399
the same I've said it one of
my videos. I've got it narrowed down.

152
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.120
I'm not saying I know where Bigfoot
is, but from the signings that

153
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:16.120
I've encountered and the miles that I've
logged there, it's basically two ridges and

154
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.600
a valley that I've got fifty years
worth of stuff in. We've localed it

155
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.639
down to there, and there's more
going on. Like I say, one

156
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:33.639
of the areas I've got access to, there was a Russian that came over

157
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.440
a few years back, well few
years, several years, and he stayed

158
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.799
in this area. He said,
in this one area for six weeks solid

159
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.120
researching. I've got access to that
area in some of his notes. Please

Here's the list. All right, I'm

168
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.320
going to use this space this week
to announce that I'll be at the Sasquatch

169
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.679
Summerfest and Oakridge organ as an atender. I won't be presenting or anything,

170
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960
but I'll be hanging out trying to
interview people that have had bigfoot encounters.

171
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.639
If you're from the Oakridge, Oregon
area or surrounding and you've had a bigfoot

172
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.960
experience, please contact me directly Bigfoot
Society at gmail dot com. Also,

173
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.440
Priscilla was nice enough that if you
get your tickets through Sasquatch Summerfest dot com

174
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.720
and use code Bigfoot Society, you
can get fifty percent off the cost of

175
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.360

amount. So code Bigfoot Society to get

176
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.960
fifty percent off your tickets Sasquatch Summerfest
dot com and helps out the podcast as

177
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.080
well. A special thank you to
all the Big for Society Patreon and YouTube

178
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.559
channel members. It's your support that
helps keep the show going and I extremely

179
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.960
appreciate it. I had a listener
comment, hey, what's a current update

180
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.960
with the road to getting to full
time. Well, here's the deal.

181
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.840
The push, as if you've seen
on social media, is well, now

182
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:35.519
I've kind of tweetd it a little
bit, so amount of calculations, once

183
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.720
we get eight hundred and twenty four
people in the Patreon we should be good

184
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.480
to go. So what I did
is we're going to do it a little

185
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:50.399
bit differently. It's now adding the
current amount plus the amount that are joining,

186
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.360
and there's tons of people joining every
day. It's wild, guys.

187
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.399
So right now, where one hundred
and seventy six members are in there ready

188
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.639
to go out of the eight hundred
twenty four that are needed in order for

189
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.720
us to go full time, that
puts us at about twenty two percent.

190
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.000
So if you've been putting around back
and forth the idea of joining the Big

191
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.159
Foot Society Patreon, now's the time. I'm telling you it's time to check

192
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.720
it out. Seven dollars a month
starts fifteen dollars a month as well,

193
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.919
but seven dollars a month is a
great place to start. Patreon dot com,

194
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.559
forward slash the Bigfoot Society, and
if you can't swing that, please

195
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.799
just share the show with your friends
and make sure you're subscribed on your favorite

196
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:43.279
podcast platform and YouTube as well.
But thanks again so much for listening.

197
00:14:43.320 --> 00:15:31.919
Guys, Her and I can get
out here, we can tell our stories.

198
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.279
Maybe there's somebody else out there listening
it's too afraid to tell their story.

199
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.200
Maybe this will give them the courage
to come out. And I feel

200
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.879
so bad about it. Who cares
what anybody's thinks. I know what I

201
00:15:43.919 --> 00:16:03.000
saw, I know what's out there. That's all I care. Please let

202
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.639
people know, Please let them know. If you ever see one of these

203
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.279
things, you need to tell because
if you don't, then shame on you,

204
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:23.120
you know, shame on you.
