com. Ford Slash the Big for
Society and now let's get on with the

10
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.359
show. And it was just that
simple. And we did that for years.

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.920
I was the babysitter, and there
were times when I mowed. It

12
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.600
was probably down to the mouth of
the creek and down the back of the

13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.119
eighty acres. It's probably a quarter
of a mile or half mile down there,

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.960
and I would mow. I would
mow from the yard plus down there.

15
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.920
And sometimes when I was mowing,
there was one time this little little

16
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:15.400
female had her arm flap flap flopped
out and I said, get back,

17
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.319
Oh, cut your arm off with
this more and and then I had Oh,

18
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.480
I had a rogue one that showed
up that looked ape like that.

19
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:37.719
I had rescued this horse that was
close to sixteen hands tall, and it

20
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.480
had been these people had left it
in this pin with no water or no

21
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.439
food, and it weighed when I
had the When I I went and stole

22
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.519
it, okay, and took it
home and called the vet, and the

23
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:59.439
vet come out. He estimated the
horse that should have weighed at least twelve

24
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:06.840
to fifteen hundred pounds weighing one hundred
pounds. So anyway, so I had

25
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.520
I had horses too, So I
put this horse with me and one morning

26
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.360
I it was early winter. It
was just a dust snow on the ground,

27
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.439
and all the horses were going crazy. And my gilding that I had

28
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:30.080
just had gilded. He was probably
sixteen hands tall and he was the main

29
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.800
He was the alpha male in the
in the herd, and the female was

30
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.120
named Tito, and she was the
alpha female. Anyway, I go out

31
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.479
there because they're the horses are just
sounds like they're screaming. Well, I

32
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.280
went out there and as I walked, and I had two or three colts

33
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.599
at the time. The colts were
just going and the babies were just running

34
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.199
in circles, and all of them
were just carrying on and carrying on.

35
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.599
Well, at the end of the
barn lot, there was there was a

36
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.439
gate that went into this you had
to go through under these trees, probably

37
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.199
half a city block, and then
out into a hayfield. Well, so

38
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.680
I had grabbed the camera and put
it in my pocket because I thought it

39
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:29.759
was a mountain lion that had them
all upset. Okay, So I get

40
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:37.080
out there and ld male. He
rears up on his back legs and he's

41
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:44.120
snorting, and his nose holes were
were great big, I mean they were.

42
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.639
He flared him up and he's walking
and he stayed right beside me where

43
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.479
he was touching me, and he
was roaring up and walking on his back

44
00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:01.639
legs. Well, the female was
on the left side and anyway, and

45
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:08.120
the one feet the others stayed up
the up and they walked with me down

46
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.800
to the end of the barn law
where you had to go under these trees,

47
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.560
and there was this And I didn't
at the time, I didn't notice

48
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.600
that the horse I'd rescued wasn't there. I said, you leave my horse

49
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.240
alone, or I'll kill you.
And I looked him dead in the eye,

50
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.920
and I wasn't four or five feet
away from him. I don't think

51
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.959
Janet, call it skunking you.
He skunked me bad and I couldn't breathe

52
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.199
and sorry, can you? So
was is it like a like a scent

53
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.600
gland type thing or yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's it's bad.

54
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:53.160
It is bad. It takes your
breath really bad. Well, I was,

55
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.600
and I had quite a way at
least a half a football field to

56
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.360
walk up back up to the barn, at least. And he let that

57
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.800
horse go and she ran up past
the two horses that were with me,

58
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:17.480
and then I just reached over and
I grabbed the big gilding and I had

59
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.040
him. I hung on him,
and he took me. He drug me

60
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.600
up to the barn well and they
all followed me into the barn. And

61
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.079
by then it was like five so
minutes after I'd been skunked. I could

62
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:38.560
breathe just a little bit better,
and so I all I could. I

63
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.399
couldn't. I was so sick.
I couldn't clean up the horse. So

64
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:51.040
I gave her a shot a penicillin
shot and gave her some food and and

65
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.040
and then I got from the barn
to the house and I laid on the

66
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.240
porch and I laid there and thought, who do I tell this to?

67
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.519
You can't call anybody, and who
would believe? Yes, they did that

68
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:13.879
a big foot was oorous, you
know. And anyway, so anyway,

69
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:19.079
I went in the house and I
took some well, I don't even I

70
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.360
think. I just laid down and
I slept for the most part for three

71
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:31.879
days. And when I did wake
up, I was like, I had

72
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:39.560
pneumonia. And I went to the
doctor and the doctor said I had pneumonia.

73
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.279
And they put me on all kinds
of breathing machines. Give me on

74
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.560
a breathing machine and all kinds of
stuff like that, and antibiotics. And

75
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:54.720
it took me a good year to
completely recuperate from that. But anyway,

76
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.439
so but when I did finally get
up and got around a little bit,

77
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.920
and I asked Shapinga, what happened
to that that bigfoot? I said,

78
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:11.360
I've kind of scared of that bigfoot
that horse. And she said, no,

79
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.959
no, we kill him. We
kill him, that's all. So

80
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.560
I never worried about it again after
that. But yeah, and so yeah,

81
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.519
and when I was telling Luke Grooves
this, I don't know if you

82
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:35.360
know Luke Gross or any of those
guys down Luke Gross Gross, Luke Gross,

83
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:41.560
he's really anyway, And I was
telling, well, telling him about

84
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.120
that, and then about this dog
man and that's the dog Man's part of

85
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:53.000
the reason that I left the farm
because yeah, but anyway, and there

86
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.720
was this so so I don't I
don't know it just but there's a ton.

87
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.360
There's a ton that was just shared
that. That's that's all incredible.

88
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.279
Connie, do you know of an
individual named Corey Holden. Yeah, Corey

89
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.879
used to come stay with me too. He's a was a cryptosologist down in

90
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.480
Van Buren County. Well, he
used to be in Van Buren County,

91
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.079
but he ain't been there for a
few years. From that I gathered,

92
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.560
Connie, what do you think the
best evidence you were able to capture a

93
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.120
big foot over the years was?
Was it a picture or a hair sample

94
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.600
or anything like that? Well,
I get, I get when jan came,

95
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.519
she got a bunch of hair from
underneath the deck and gave it to

96

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.320
to ketch him DNA study Holy mackerel, so yeah, yeah. Oh and

99
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.080
I had I had a I don't
know, I can't say it very good

100
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:13.320
metaphors wheat cross from out in Arizonta
Okay. Wilson has like ten different degrees

101
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:20.480
okay. And he come stayed too, and he said that we had a

102
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:28.519
portal close to my house. Really
m hm yeah, just because just well

103
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.399
because he had asked me if I'd
ever seen anything strange, and I said,

104
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.399
I've seen all kinds of strange things
since I moved there and since the

105
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:45.679
old man moved me there, and
so ill yeah yeah, yeah, anyway,

106
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.600
so yeah, well one and so
it was. It was I think

107
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.120
it was the trees hadn't fallen or
the leaves hadn't fallen off the trees yet,

108
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.320
but they were turning and I could
look out the kitchen, Linda,

109
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.679
and see the back barn lot and
I'm seeing I don't know, if you've

110
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:16.279
ever seen the heat on the hood
of a car in the summertime wiggles Yeah,

111
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.679
yeah, well, well there is
an area back there out behind the

112
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.639
barn. This one day that I
seen and I was looking at it,

113
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.720
and when I was looking at it, a bigfoot stepped out of there and

114
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:37.120
walked into the timber. Wow.
Okay, so and on this property we

115
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.399
have bigfoot portals. And you're saying
other creatures, but there there. I

116
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.200
think there's quite a few of them
up and down the river because they used

117
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.440
to have a whole lot of old
coal mines down there, and I think

118
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:56.279
that they stay they they also stay
in those coal mines. Well that's good,

119
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.320
But what other things would you expec
experience on that farm? Was it

120
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.840
more than just bigfoot out there?
Yeah? I had that one night.

121
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:15.559
It was September October. It was
after well anyway, it was late fall,

122
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.799
and I was leaning this colt and
and he was like five months old.

123
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.960
And when I would read my horses, I always stayed with them for

124
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.960
the first three days basically, so
they would bond with me and an old

125
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.399
horse trick from old timers. Anyway, and I was this was the first

126
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.399
night, and all the other horses. There was five other horses out in

127
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.279
the back barn lot, and I
had the colt, and I had made

128
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.159
me a place and it was getting
kind of chilly. So it was late

129
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.559
September early October, and I'd made
me a palette there and I've laid down

130
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.519
there with the little colt, and
it was about two three o'clock. I

131
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.159
just got really cold, so I
come in the house and made a hot

132
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:15.120
chocolate and I had there was the
whole front of the living room was all

133
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:24.879
glass, and I had lights around
and whenever, and I always burned those

134
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.000
lights at night if I was having
problem or and if the Bigfoot was going

135
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.080
to come up, they did their
magic and made the electric go out.

136
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.919
Anyway, and I go in the
house and then I fix me some hot

137
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:45.080
chocolate, and I'm sitting there and
recliner next to all these windows of the

138
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.919
front and I'd had a what they
call a flood light in the front port

139
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.919
on the front porch. I had
two of them, actually, And anyway,

140
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.360
I'm taking a sip of that,
and I see this thing running across

141
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.159
the front part of the yard,
and had a horseshoe shaped driveway that went

142
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.440
around by in front of the barn
and then back up in front of the

143
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:18.000
house and back out. And on
the one side, I had the horse

144
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:26.320
trailer setting and I seen that thing
running and it looked like you're gonna laugh

145
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:33.120
at me. But on the old
Ghostbusters movie where the gargoyles were running where

146
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.679
they stand up and then they on
two feet and then they're down on four

147
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.039
the dogs, well, that's how
as it was running. That's what this

148
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.519
thing was doing. And I and
I took off because I was afraid it

149
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.879
was after the colt because it was
all by itself in the barn. I

150
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:01.039
ran out there and as I run
past the horse trailer, something hit the

151
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:07.320
horse trailer and lifted it up on
two and I was like, I was

152
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.000
running past the horse trailer, but
I kind of pushed off with it,

153
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.440
you know, as as because it
lifted the horse trailer up to where it

154
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.480
was only on two wheels on the
one side side closest to me, like

155
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.840
it was going to dump the horse
trailer over on me anyway. So I

156
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.840
push off of that and I run
into the barn. And I had a

157
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:37.000
friend that I had a stadium light, a couple of stadium lights that I

158
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.480
could all I had to do was
plug in and that light up the whole

159
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:48.960
ten acre place around Furlese ten acres, anything close well, and I can

160
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.679
remember hearing all the horses doing that
screaming weird noise that sounds like they're screaming.

161
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.360
But anyway, and I grabbed the
coal and I'm trying to calm him

162
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.360
down after I turned the stadium mics
on and I'm standing there holding and calming

163
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:28.720
him down. Big for society will
be right back after these messages. And

164
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:35.120
that's when something hit the barn and
it wood flattered all over, pieces of

165
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.440
wood flattered all over, and it
left a whole I didn't know anywhere from

166
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.120
three to four foot to five foot
big on the side of the barn.

167
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.720
Anyway, that's when I started praying
and I and I commanded it to leave

168
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:03.279
in the name of Jesus Christ,
and it did. And later on we

169
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:08.159
found kyot that had that had been
killed, that had no blood in it

170
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:15.440
whatsoever. And it got really bad
after the old man died. Sorry,

171
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.720
real quick, Connie, the coyote
you found, how was it killed?

172
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.679
Do you think? I don't know? I don't know. The old man

173
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.480
and I found it. You couldn't
tell it was You couldn't tell it just

174
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.120
it looked like it just laid down
and died. But it had two marks

175
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:40.480
it had two marks in its neck
like you'd think of a vampire type thing,

176
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.759
you know, but there was not
one drop of blood in that kyote.

177
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.559
Wow. Okay, sorry, please
continue with You were saying things got

178
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:53.080
really bad. Well anyway, Yeah, it just got got bad. And

179
00:16:53.360 --> 00:17:00.000
they killed a baby bigfoot on this
They for quite a while, for a

180
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:08.759
few years, the dog win would
stay over towards the six hundred acre state

181
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:15.759
park that was up next to Not
shimmy, shimmy, you're no, no,

182
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.119
no, not the six thousand acre
one. No, it's the other

183
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.519
one. It's the one that's just
at sight of Kissoqua. For the life

184
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.480
of me, I know that,
and I can't state park. Yeah,

185
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.759
y lazy anyway, yeah, anyway, and they use about three miles from

186
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:38.880
there. I knew there were dog
men over there by the Debonne River because

187
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.000
somebody had said that seemed something that
looked like a dog. But it walked

188
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.240
on two foot, and I knew
exactly what they was talking about. And

189
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.880
these dog men they wud make a
noise that just make it just made my

190
00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.039
hair stand up and I got goose
bumps, and I I just and it

191
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.599
just got bad to where they had
killed a baby, or not a baby,

192
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:11.039
but a young a young bigfoot,
and they had maimed and they just

193
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.799
the dogman that I had seen looked
like a looked like a German shepherd dog

194
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.920
that walked on its back legs,
but was at least six weeks ault.

195
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.000
So where was it that they had
killed the juvenile? Was it in that

196
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.680
park you mentioned the lacey Kiyosakua?
No? No, they killed the juvenile

197
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.440
were by my on my farm.
Really. Oh did you find it?

198
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:40.359
Yeah? And they took her,
but it was it was getting really crazy,

199
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.680
and so it's that you saw.
You didn't find a body of a

200
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.720
dead juvenile bigfoot? No, No, I was there with the others when

201
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:59.880
they when she was laying there,
and they had killed her and maimed an

202
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:06.200
old or female and I don't know
if the female died or not. And

203
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.759
they told me that I had to
be careful of them because they were evil.

204
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.839
They had no soul. They were
evil. So you were there when

205
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.240
there was a bigfoot on the ground
in its last moments of life? Pretty

206
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.240
much? Oh? Yeah? Yeah, se I've seen baby ones that were

207
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:30.880
born that knew newborns too. I've
probably seen I don't know I've seen bigfoot

208
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.400
every day for thirty forty years,
right sore, I can't teg you.

209
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.319
And I've seen them from various stages
up when when you saw the one on

210
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.039
the ground where it was in the
last like it was just about to pass

211
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.119
on, do you remember any details
about what it looked like at that point

212
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:55.279
the little female, Yeah, look
like a person dying, so you would

213
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.839
say it they had more like a
person than an ape. Then well,

214
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.920
they very see this is what this
is what people don't understand. They very

215
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.279
they. I have seen them that
looked though the ancient one, he looked

216
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:17.359
like a hippie. He looked like
a hippie with a handlebar mustache. That's

217
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:23.759
what he looked like. Okay,
but I've seen I've seen females that are

218
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.759
are you can't, you couldn't if
they weren't for their their size, you

219
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.960
would think they were human. But
then I've also seen some that were like

220
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.160
look like baby boy. He looked
more like a gorilla. He was one

221
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:49.960
of Sappinga's offspring that I was around
up until until I left. And then

222
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:57.599
I've seen some that look like orangutangs. Now that then the red orangutang looking

223
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.640
ones were over by the Mississippi River, over by mont Rose, Iowa.

224
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.279
Okay, I'm very I'm very interested
in the ones that look like oranguon and

225
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.279
so did the face look like an
orangutan as well? Or kind of kind

226
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:18.880
of? They just I never got
real up close to them. But Jay,

227
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.920
what Jay's last name? I can't
think of it. I've I've got

228
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.240
a phone call that I've got to
take. Can I call you back here

229
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.519
in a few absolutely, yes,
ma'am. I appreciate it. Okay,

230
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.960
okay, bye, Hi Connie.
Yeah, yeah, right, all right,

231
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.759
thank you for calling back. There's
a few questions I want to ask

232
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.240
real quick, just in case I
don't get another chance to ask them,

233
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:48.400
If that's okay. How many toes
did Big Red have? Yeah? Or

234
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:56.400
okay? Well bye, fye fye
fye, now you Yeah, I don't

235
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:02.880
for for the norm. Most of
them have had five toes, five fingers.

236
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.880
I've seen thousands of them, so
so most of them had the what

237
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.440
do you call it? The were
they at Tarsel Break? Yeah? Yeah,

238
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:18.000
most of them had that. But
you have to you have to realize

239
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:26.440
that there are so many things that
mess with them. Not only do they

240
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:34.079
they fight especially the males. They'll
fight and they'll get bite. Yeah.

241
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:41.799
There was a hell of a fight
one time anyway between two bigfoot. Yeah,

242
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.680
yeah, oh they fight. Did
you see that happen? Yeah?

243
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.519
Can you describe how that how that
was? Was it pretty? That's for

244
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.359
sure? They just do you ever
fight? Well I did, Yeah,

245
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.519
I know, I know, But
that's just the thing that hasn't really been

246
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.319
talked about in your community or witnessed. They will, they will like somebody

247
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:12.920
trying to take over. They'll fight
you. They'll fight or I've seen ones

248
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.240
with part of their lip, like
one side of the lip hanging down to

249
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:27.440
their chin. I've seen eyes that
hung out, seen where they've got caught

250
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:36.480
in traps or got shot or got
various things and they're maimed. They used

251
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:41.680
to come for me for herbs because
I lit. I don't know if you

252
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.039
ever heard of cantl, Iowa,
but cantles run by a mena night and

253
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:56.359
they sell so large qualities of herbs
and spices and different things. Okay,

254
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.599
I used to buy that and give
it to them. Interesting and yeah,

255
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:11.680
so he but you you and my
mom my mom my grandma was of Cherokee,

256
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:21.079
not Cherokee Shawnee ancestry. Okay,
and I thought it was funny not

257
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:26.000
to change the subject. That Chappinga
schappingo when I asked her what her name

258
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:33.599
was and she said Schappinga. Well, later on I found out that Shapinga

259
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:41.519
means harry Man in Shawnee. Really, it's fascinating. Do you think the

260
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.279
area where that farm was in Van
Buren County? Do you think there's still

261
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.880
things that happened to this day there? Well, I can tell you another

262
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:56.839
little story, okaa. Shapinga's son. We called him baby Boy, but

263
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.279
he ended up The last time I
seen him was nine and a half foot

264
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:07.720
tall, and when he was younger
he looked like a gorilla, a lot

265
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.759
like a gorilla. But anyway,
I had and I don't know if he

266
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:18.519
you know. Another one of the
outlaws was Coombo. I've heard of it,

267
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.079
mister Coombo. I've been trying to
talk to him for years, but

268
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.799
someday hopefully I will talk to him. Yeah, he's a low anyway,

269
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:33.200
anyway, I never well, Coombo
and Bear were fighting, Okay, and

270
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:41.480
Coombo had moved from down south to
Missouri and was working up there at the

271
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:47.000
college in Missouri and Kirksville and he
gets a hold of me and he wanted

272
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:53.079
me to show show him where to
go there at Shimmy and stuff. So

273
00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:02.839
my granddaughter and I this is about
four years after I had left the farm.

274
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.160
Anyway, he wanted so we met
him and a couple other guys.

275
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:18.480
But anyway, and Janet had talked
me some Cherokee because she said, well,

276
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:25.319
the ones that talked with her talked
Cherokee because she's Cherokee. Ended well

277
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:33.200
anyway, so I and growing up
maybe Boy was always getting into all kinds

278
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.559
of trouble around the house. He
had drained the beer cans he was.

279
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.759
I just I can tell you all
kinds of different little stories. But anyway,

280
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:52.839
but when Janet was here, the
cherkey word for friend is knock knock.

281
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.319
It's like like knock, but you
drag it out well. And I

282
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:03.680
told and I told baby Boy which
he had They had went up to the

283
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.720
North Country to get him a mate, and by then he had had a

284
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.640
mate. And was it all six
eight months? And then I left.

285
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:18.400
But I told him before I left, do not have nobody nothing to do

286
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:27.799
with anyone any little people unless they
are your unless they say knock your friend.

287
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:36.440
Well, so now go back.
Later after that, Kombo and he

288
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.519
had three or four guys he wanted
to go. They want to go bigfoot

289
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.839
down there. Oh, I told
took him down to the place to go,

290
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:52.960
and I said to Wolpen and somebody
will come, and sure they did.

291
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.559
Anyway, Coombo was supposed to tell
me what happened, but he never

292
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.279
got a hold of me because I
didn't feel like it at that time.

293
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:07.880
And anyway, so when I called
him, he tells me that they went

294
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.640
down there and they did what I
told him, and this beach said,

295
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:18.680
this big dark colored one and a
female and it looked like two or three

296
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.920
offspring come down to where I was
where I told him to go, and

297
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:33.359
he said they would knock on wood. They whooped, and he said they

298
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:38.799
wouldn't answer back. He said that
all they would say was knock, knock,

299
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.039
And that's what I had told him
not to five years before. I

300
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.680
had told him not to have nothing
to do with anybody that didn't couldn't say

301
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:56.279
a chair a key word for knock
that. So I thought that was kind

302
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.519
of neat, that's wild. So
when you said you brought that to the

303
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.359
place to go where you're referring to
you brought them to your farm then in

304
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.680
Van Buren County, Well, the
old crick, the old creck, yeah,

305
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.279
by the farm. But yeah,
yeah, But I never did tell

306
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.319
Kumbo that the what Malk meant,
or that I had to. And I

307
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.720
knew it was baby boy right then
though he wasn't a baby. You know,

308
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.960
Connie, do you think stuff is
still happening in that area if you

309
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.319
had to guess? I don't know, because the dogmen they were kind of

310
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:38.559
encroaching on things. And from the
ones that I hear nowadays, they talked

311
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:45.319
more about seeing the dogmen than they
do Bigfoot. So remind me how long

312
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:51.400
ago it was that you were last
at this area. Oh, I moved.

313
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:59.440
I moved from there in the fall
of sixteen down to Missouri, which

314
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:06.240
was about fifteen miles away. And
then and see, every year they would

315
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:11.960
show up around mid March. The
ones that traveled, they always went down

316
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:32.920
south. Big for Society will be
right back after these messages. Okay,

317
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.440
the ones that from my clan,
they went down south, they'd come back

318
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:45.079
mid March, but they'd leave first
October. And Patty Mac I can't tell

319
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.559
you her real name, but she
down to Oklahoma, and a lot of

320
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.079
times they'd go down to her place
down there around Anobia, Oklahoma. Wait,

321
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.200
so you have connections with hon Abi, Oklahoma. Oh yeah, I

322
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:04.599
went down there. Who yeah,
I Arlas. Yeah. I went down

323
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:12.799
there to Arla as Native American and
went down there and stayed. And I

324
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.119
seen Arla's big foots down there.
And then when I was we were coming

325
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.720
back from from down there, we
cut to the Daniel Boone State Park in

326
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:30.720
Kentucky, stayed the night. Huh
in Kentucky. Yeah? Yeah, anyway,

327
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.680
and I seen some down there,
encountered them. But I got to

328
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:38.920
tell you something is funny. Okay, And I can't remember names worthy who?

329
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:48.839
But back there fourteen about it was
about fourteen when the chryl Or Cheryl

330
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:56.519
from over around Chicago. She had
talked my my daughter into letting her come

331
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.000
down. Well, they never told
me because I wasn't allowed to because I

332
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:07.559
didn't care for her, because she
just anyway, her and Rick Cruz.

333
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.400
Have you ever heard of Rick Cruz? No? Anyway, they're they're big,

334
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:19.079
they're big, bigfooters in in Illinois. Anyway, they came down.

335
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:23.079
Well, we had Rick and I
had gotten an argument a little bit of

336
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:30.079
our argument on on on our program, and I can't remember which one it

337
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.359
was, but anyway, that bigfoot, he said, beetfoot don't talk,

338
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.559
and I said, yes, they
do. And it's that simple. Well,

339
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.480
anyway, so here come, here
come my daughter with these two people

340
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:49.279
that I didn't really care for,
and this gal evidently, and they and

341
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.559
Rick, he plays his flute,
and oh they love they love Christian music

342
00:32:54.000 --> 00:33:00.599
and Indian music. And if you
play some in didn't you think they're going

343
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:07.079
to come and listen? They're they're
drawn to that native American music. But

344
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:15.880
anyway, so that Rick and Shelley, so they come and Trace brings them,

345
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.720
and and here I am faced with
them, and and I said,

346
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.039
oh, to Rick, I said, oh, you're the one I wanted

347
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.279
to fight with me about him talking. I want to see if you really

348
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.119
see him, you know. And
and so I said, well, where

349
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.680
do you want to go? Well
this was in daylight. Tray says,

350
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:50.160
well, let's take them over by
Farmington to Shimmy over by shimmyk. So

351
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.839
we went over to by this little
park and that they told them, They

352
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.880
told them, they verbally talked,
and they told them that I was I

353
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:07.480
knew of their kind, and I
was there and that I cooked things for

354
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:13.320
them. The one that they talked
to happened to be a relative to one

355
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:19.159
that was on my place. And
this is eleven miles away that I had

356
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:23.639
that I made the best cinnamon cupcakes
city ever tasted, and I had to

357
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:29.159
teach you cupcakes. So I knew
what he wanted to do when he asked

358
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.360
for it. But anyway, then
they wherever they took they oh, they

359
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:37.360
all knew who I was, but
they wouldn't have anything to do with the

360
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:44.880
others for the most part unless they
would talk to me. Anyway, that

361
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:49.960
that kind of that kind of blew
their mind. Something else I want to

362
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:57.480
tell you too. In Iowa and
in Illinois, I don't know if you

363
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:04.079
know that they make they would make. We had cornfields, okay, and

364
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:10.239
they couldn't figure out what was knocking
down two or three rows of corn and

365
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:17.000
making a path and then each path
every so often it was the big round

366
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:22.440
room. Well, what they were
doing, the bigfoots were doing it,

367
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.719
and what they were doing with they
get the deer, they'll hoid the deer

368
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:30.880
down those paths into those rooms and
then they'll kill them there so they were

369
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:36.239
like killing fields for deer. Yeah, yeah, they used the corn cornfields

370
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.519
to do that. I can't remember
if it was Pat that was telling me

371
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:45.679
or some friend of Paths that was
telling me that they had because Pat's in

372
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:51.400
Illinois. And yeah, anyway,
so that's that's something else too, Connie,

373
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:54.480
who else did you invite to come
up and check out the farm?

374
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:02.400
What other researchers? Well, mainly
it was it Abe and Janet, Janet,

375
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:08.559
Aide and and Will So I can't, I don't. I don't think

376
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:16.599
I had very many other than even
some of his his brother age brother Nick.

377
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:22.199
Oh, I know I had Daryl. What is Daryl's I'd have to

378
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:30.280
they the the they got the Iowa
Paranormal Steve, Steve Tracy. Have you

379
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:34.800
ever heard of him? No,
I haven't. Actually, I don't know

380
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:39.159
a lot of people from the Iowa
bigfoot scene. He's from, He's from

381
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:45.800
the Iowa Paranormal. Now they came
down and they took they took what is

382
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:51.400
Daryl's last name? He used to
be a professor, said, they're both

383
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:54.360
from Iowa Paranormal. You said,
yeah, yeah, I don't know if

384
00:36:54.400 --> 00:37:01.119
Daryl's still in the hollow paranormal or
not. But Steve Steven Tracy is and

385
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.559
they got I think I had a
couple. I'm not sure. I'd have

386
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.039
to look through my stuff, but
they had. They were taken. They

387
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:17.079
had made some bigfoot they were and
they were also the ones that were telling

388
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:23.079
me about they were investigating just like
half a block from where my dad lived

389
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:30.519
there at Eldon. We're bigfoots too. Oh wow, I need to track

390
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:36.280
those guys down. Did you ever
hear anything from any other Iowa state forests

391
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:40.880
like Yellow River Backbone? No?
I had at one time. Well they

392
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:50.119
said somebody had said, oh,
they estimated two thousand in the United States

393
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.360
that in Van Deuren County. Do
you think so? I know? So?

394
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.599
Oh wow, I know. I'm
going to ask how do you know?

395
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:04.400
So? Well, sometime times on
a full moon they would move and

396
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:12.199
do and travel together and do things. One night I stepped out and this

397
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:17.280
was a ten acre field okay,
and this was that they were crossing our

398
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.760
ten acre field across them and they
were headed to Lake Glacy State Park.

399
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:29.760
Okay, because that's the way they
traveled down there next to the creek,

400
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:37.280
and I looked out and there was
some of them were runnings. They were

401
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.000
so close together. It almost kind
of reminded me of Mardi Gras. The

402
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.079
people, the way people are.
I don't know if you've ever been to

403
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:50.239
Marti Graus or not, but they're
just standing room only, you know,

404
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.960
you just you just move around that
people that's that close. And that's how

405
00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:01.719
the big Foot were and that were
just ones that was in my area and

406
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:08.360
they covered that whole ten acre ten
acre field that night. Wow, So

407
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:17.280
it was like a festival a Bigfoot. They also now now every year now

408
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:23.119
I know, some of them go
down to the Sappinga went to the North

409
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:30.920
Country to get baby boy a mate
when he my my oldest granddaughter had started

410
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.840
her monthly and he knocked down the
screen door and I and I screamed that

411
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:43.920
Sappinga to come and get him.
And the next day she said they were

412
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:50.840
going to take him and go get
him a mate. That's pretty. But

413
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:59.679
then but then some of them go
down along the Missouri River and once a

414
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:04.199
year or that's where they take them, the younger ones to find mates that

415
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.360
aren't you know, so they don't
so they're not inbred for sure. I

416
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:15.800
just know it's along the Missouri River
down Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

417
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:21.840
all. Which for those not familiar
with Iowa geography, that's on the opposite

418
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.480
side of the state. It'd be
the western border of Iowa. Yeah,

419
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:30.119
where we've been talking about is the
eastern border of Iowa over by the Mississippi

420
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:36.679
River. So that's really important to
know that. Yeah. And now I

421
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:42.599
don't know if you know Jan,
Jan had grew up with Fox, right,

422
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:50.320
Okay, Now, Fox told Jan
that the ones out in Colorado are

423
00:40:50.400 --> 00:41:00.800
cannibals to eat each other. Mm
hm oh dear m. And so that's

424
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.000
what before Fox died, that's what
he had told Jan. Oh boy.

425
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:09.880
And and he had told told Jen
how they had crossed the Bearing Straight.

426
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:15.440
There was three tribes of bigfoot that
crossed Bearing Straight and that they went for

427
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:23.239
days and weeks without eating a lot
of very much. And yeah, and

428
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:30.199
that and the one and the one
tribe or the is the tribe that ended

429
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:37.239
up out in Colorado are the ones
that became cannibals. The other two tribes

430
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.880
didn't. If you had to say, go to this spot in Iowa and

431
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:45.559
you probably have the best chance of
seeing a bigfoot, what would you say,

432
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.039
First of all, you mean,
what spot any spot in Iowa.

433
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.000
Yeah, if you could go anywhere
in Iowa, where do you think is

434
00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:00.960
the best the place with the best
chance of you actually being able to see

435
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:06.719
a bigfoot in that area? Oh
golly, I don't know. I don't.

436
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:14.559
Just well, usually anywhere along the
des Moines River. I'm guessing because

437
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.719
they when I back in two thousand
I was doing I did a map of

438
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:27.599
Iowa and the different reports, and
most of them were along railroad tracks that

439
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:32.480
were close to the des Moines River. That's what I figured out, just

440
00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:37.679
that map anywhere, that's probably in
your personal collection with the book, right,

441
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:43.840
I don't know. I don't think
I even I had it up on

442
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:50.119
the wall, and I don't know
what happened to it. Actually, I

443
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:54.119
don't know. If you ever find
it, I would be extremely interested to

444
00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:59.280
see it or read it. It
sounds like you probably have reports that are

445
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:02.800
not on the internet. They're not
anywhere except for in your posiession. I

446
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.920
would go. I don't, I
don't. I just what I did was

447
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:13.280
I I went to the fightings that
supposed these fightings, and and I thumb

448
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:19.159
tapped him on this map of Iowa, and it was mainly along the des

449
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:23.719
Moines River. And railroad tracks that
was close to the Des Moines River,

450
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:30.159
So you were going to like the
b f R and any any anywhere anywhere

451
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.800
that had anything to do with Iowa. That's what I did. And I

452
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.599
thumb tapped him in there. And
I don't know if I took a picture

453
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:44.239
or not, or if I did, but I had. I had just

454
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:49.440
Jinn and Spencer Whitney. Okay,
those are four of my grandkids that had

455
00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:57.840
interactions with them, really, and
jess And and Spencer were the ones they

456
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:04.039
would just torment. The little feme
Nils was just toaurs mint Spencer because because

457
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.760
he's good looking, a little devil. I got to tell you something funny.

458
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:10.519
One night, he said he'd come
home from work. He got off

459
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:15.000
at work at midnight, he says, and he was staying with me.

460
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.719
He says, Grandma, there's some
bigfoots out here. They want to tell

461
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:25.239
you they're sorry that they broke the
well and we had a hydrant that they

462
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:30.760
pulled it up too hard and broke
it off. And l Man always complained,

463
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:34.480
He complained that it was the kids, but it was it was a

464
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:38.440
bigfoot we found out. But anyway, and that they had he said,

465
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:45.039
he said, this one out here
he got a bowl haircut, and he

466
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:51.360
said the other and I said,
okay. So we went out and I

467
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:55.480
talked to him, and they said
that that the they were the ones that

468
00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:02.760
broke the pump, and they mean
to but they liked our water and because

469
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:08.480
it was well water anyway, and
then then they invited me and Spencer over

470
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:15.000
to their place. Spencer said,
who cut your hair? Because the one

471
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:21.119
had a bull looked like a bullcat. And he said the Armish and and

472
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:28.559
anyway, and he says, go
to the tree farm and turn turn right

473
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:35.719
and go past the tree this tree
and and the Armish and and so far

474
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:40.000
back in the field and and we
would be at their place. We could

475
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.760
come. We was invite me and
Spencer was invited to their place. And

476
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:50.760
I laughed, and I laughed because
how many people will believe that a big

477
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:55.760
fit would invite you to their to
their place. Do you think do you

478
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.400
think Spencer or any of your relatives
would talk about what they've experience just as

479
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:05.840
well? Oh yeah, big for
society will be right back after these messages.

480
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:24.519
Yeah, I think so, I
think so, Spencer, Yeah,

481
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:32.360
he was anyway, Spencer was military
went to school for a military MP and

482
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.280
that was down Fort Leonardwood, Missouri. And anyway, and I had a

483
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:45.679
lot of friends down to Missouri that
I dealt with with them and stuff,

484
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.400
and and this one friend, he
said, we got to talk and and

485
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:55.119
I he said, well, he
lived down there, and he said he

486
00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:00.679
worked on He didn't tell me at
the time what he did, but he

487
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:04.679
said he worked down there at Fort
Leonardwood. I said, oh, okay,

488
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:09.639
I said, my grandson's down there. He's becoming military police. And

489
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:15.400
he said, oh, really,
well, I said his name is Spencer.

490
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:22.880
And anyway, after after a while, this person says, well,

491
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:31.480
I'm going to tell you, Connie, I am one of Spencer's instructors.

492
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:40.920
And he said, he says,
and there's bigfoot down there. I've talked

493
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:45.599
to people. Yeah, and he
said he said, he said everybody else

494
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:52.320
would be oblivious and Spencer, he'd
say he would notice Spencer smelling the air

495
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:58.840
and turning and looking, because Spencer
can smell him too. If you can't

496
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:02.079
smell him, you can feel them
with the infrasound, sure if you.

497
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:08.280
And anyway, he just thought it
was funnier because he said he always knew

498
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:13.400
when they were around because Spencer,
by the way Spencer acted, he could,

499
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:17.239
he'd start smelling and and he'd like
hold out his arms and look at

500
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:22.400
his arm, like see if the
hair was standing up on it. That's

501
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.719
uh, that's so he would tell
by if his arm hair was standing up.

502
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:31.480
That's wild. Well, well,
it's it's like if like when your

503
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:38.199
when your skin feels with this infrasound, it feels like when your hair stands

504
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:43.280
up. Your hair don't necessarily stand
up, but it feels like it.

505
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:50.079
And and it's I have taught people. I taught oodles of people how to

506
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.920
tell when they were closed. Another
one that I taught to tell how they

507
00:48:53.960 --> 00:49:04.559
were closed was Lester Finley. I
don't know. And anyway, yeah,

508
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:09.880
yeah, he is yeah out of
Iowa. Yeah yeah. If he was

509
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:15.000
originally from Milton, Iowa, but
now I think he lives in Pulaski.

510
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:20.119
Can you teach us what you would
teach those people? Well, you just

511
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:24.800
if they're to the south of you, you you can. You just what

512
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:31.239
what you do is you learn.
You learn about your surroundings and how they

513
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:37.320
make you feel. That's what I've
taught all my kids and my grandkids that.

514
00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:44.559
And you can I taught Lester and
I taught the kids how to tell.

515
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:50.559
And I've got and I've got lots
of friends that I've had several friends

516
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:55.920
through the years, and I've lost
track of them that that were firefighters that

517
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:02.559
was saying how they got the one
that was burnt real bad and they describe

518
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:07.400
him. I've got it. I've
got it wrote down somewhere. Where was

519
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:12.320
that at? But yeah, yeah, as out west, I can't remember.

520
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.039
For St. Helens or just like
a random forest fire fire, probably

521
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:21.320
in the Yeah, I don't think
it was Mount Saint Helens. I think

522
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:24.760
it was something else. I'd have
to look it up. And incredible.

523
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:30.039
When you were in ho Nubbi.
What years were you down in Nubia?

524
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:37.440
Hanobia? Hanobia? Oh gosh,
let's see. I'm guessing it was around

525
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.119
the first part of the two thousands. I don't think it was two thousand.

526
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.039
I think it was a little later
than that. Were you involved with

527
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:52.239
the siege at the siege years down
there? Early two thousands when a bigfoot

528
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.000
tried to break into a cabin,
I don't know if you've ever heard of

529
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:58.519
it. Well, oh that was
yeah, Well I talked to the gal

530
00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:01.960
that that tried to make in the
cabin that tried to take her little red

531
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:07.360
headed son. This was a red
bigfoot down there that tried to take her.

532
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.000
Ready, he had right red hair. And was that in the same

533
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:17.119
town? Oh well, Hanobia is
is no, as they are a bunch

534
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.639
of little towns like, all clustered
together all around in there. So I

535
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:27.519
don't know which one it was,
But I was talking to the gal that

536
00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:32.920
that, Yeah, and she had
two or three kids and they had to

537
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:39.599
move from where they was living because
they kept trying to take her redded headed

538
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:46.599
son. Do you have contact with
that lady? Still? No, No,

539
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.159
that's very I don't. Well,
I talked to Arla. You know

540
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:58.199
what's Arla's last name. I've heard
the name Arla come up before, but

541
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:04.639
it's no and I have connects with
well anyway, Yeah, I can't.

542
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:08.559
I can't tell you a whole lot
about down there, just that that's where

543
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:15.159
I met Scott Nelson down there at
a bigfoot thing. David Plotti, Oh

544
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.480
that's awesome. Did you did you
ever hear of any like aggressive big foot

545
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.239
encounters in Iowa or ones that would
try to break into houses or anything like

546
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:28.800
that? Well, they all will
to a certain extent if you don't.

547
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:35.480
If you don't, but if you
don't know what you're doing and they're hungry,

548
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:42.760
they'll do do that. I always
kept fifty five gallon metal drum of

549
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.440
sweet feed that I and I've made
a had the old man building me a

550
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:51.000
lid for it, a wooden lid
that all with a handle. That all

551
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:54.400
they had to do was lifted up
and in the winter time. For the

552
00:52:54.480 --> 00:53:01.159
ones that don't travel are are ones
that are crippled or screwed up some somehow,

553
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:08.000
so they stay, they stay put, and they they would always just

554
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:15.320
take one handful of sweet feed every
day. That's all They these great big

555
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:21.760
animals or people or whatever, because
some of they vary so much from animal

556
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:27.559
to to people. It's just,
yeah, I don't know if they're human.

557
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.920
I know some of them are human, but I don't think all of

558
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:35.840
them are. And I don't think
all of them are ad And yeah,

559
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:42.679
I just and I've I've think I've
seen thousands. Not I haven't seen one

560
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:49.079
or two or a hundred. I've
seen thousands because I was right there they

561
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:53.519
knew, they knew, and their
formations. I know how to read their

562
00:53:53.599 --> 00:54:00.400
formations, and so kind of feel
like we could talk for hours in This

563
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:05.119
has been so incredible and I hope
to maybe talk to you again someday.

564
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:09.000
I have some things that I want
to say off air so that we don't

565
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:13.760
have to just there's a thing or
two I want to bring up. But

566
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:15.880
I just want to say thank you
so much for chatting today, Connie.

567
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:20.400
It has been a pleasure. I
can go on and on and on because

568
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:23.559
I've dealt with it for years,
dear, and it just whatever you some

569
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:30.639
things trigger other memories and without having
to look in in my thing. But

570
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:37.719
I had some for a diary long
before the eighties. But like I said,

571
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:45.320
whoever took all my pictures and and
different things my other old diary from

572
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:50.159
back when I was a kid,
Yeah, they didn't want that stuff get

573
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.719
out. There's a group of people
out there that are trying to keep this

574
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:55.880
this hidden, I think, and
that's just an example of it. But

575
00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:00.440
thank you so much, Connie.
Okay, special thank you to Connie for

576
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:05.559
being on the show. This is
one of my favorites and it's going to

577
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:08.199
lead to many interviews to come from
this, and hopefully I'll be able to

578
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:14.280
talk to Connie again someday. This
interview did get pretty intense and there are

579
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:19.239
many parts in the part two that
I did have to cut out. I'm

580
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:23.119
giving you a warning if you do
decide to hit up the raw audio of

581
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:29.880
this interview in the Patreon, please
be careful how you listen to it.

582
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:35.599

585
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:49.559

impressionable people. That's all I'm going to

586
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:53.400
say. So again, thanks again

620
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.719

tell their story. Maybe this will give

them the courage to come out.
And I feel so bad about it.

622
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:23.360
Who cares what anybody thinks. I
know what I saw, I know what's

out there. That's all I care
about. Please let people know, Please

let them know. If you ever
see one of these things. You need

625
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.000
to tell because if you don't,
then shame on you, you know,
