In this members-only episode PREVIEW you'll hear multiple accounts from witnesses in different states.

One story centers on rural Missouri, where harvested persimmons vanished overnight — only for something to be carefully left behind in their place. Another account from rural Missouri, describes a small, crouched Sasquatch drinking maple sap directly from tree taps, discovered in the act before fleeing downhill without a sound.

Horses refusing to enter specific woods, something unseen pacing riders on horseback under cover of darkness, and a deeply unsettling childhood encounter near North Skookum Lake in Washington, where an overpowering stench and violent movement tore through the forest just out of sight.

To hear what the witnesses experienced — in their own words — this episode is available exclusively to members. Join up at www.bigfootsocietypodcast.com or join the Youtube membership to hear it all!

on the inside. Hey, how's it going.

20
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.000
Hey, I'm back man.

21
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.920
How are you hey?

22
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:06.640
Doing great? What's going on?

23
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.159
So previously we spoke about my encounter, well my sorry,

24
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.040
the room my roommates encounters the Romanians right and like

25
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.400
things that they had seen. So after I spoke with you,

26
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.079
I decided the next day I was going to reach

27
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.680
out to them and ask them if they had any

28
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.480
further encounters like after I had left. So it turns

29
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.200
out they had two, and both are pretty interesting stories.

30
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.879
Neither of them are like scary, you know, dangerous or anything.

31
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.680
They're more interesting than anything. And they were both pretty

32
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.079
detailed the way that they explained to We were on

33
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.480
for a couple hours, just chatting away about you know,

34
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.640
things that things that have happened, and you know, what

35
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.280
do you think now that you've you know, lived in

36
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.040
America for so long and you've gone through these things

37
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.359
and you've done your research and stuff, and you know,

38
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.879
they're they're both pretty firm believers in what they've encountered.

39
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.079
So again back in Rolla, Missouri, I had left. This

40
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.640
would have been two thousand and five and I had left.

41
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.439
So they told me the other two encounters. The first

42
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.759
one that we spoke about, we had a bunch of

43
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.000
per Simon trees on the property. I don't know if

44
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.879
you were familiar with per simon. They're just a fruit,

45
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.319
like a fruit tree. And they were pretty serious about

46
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.680
making like jellies and jams and things. So her husband

47
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.120
and I got a bunch of abs and we made

48
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.520
this like almost like a catching net underneath the trees

49
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.879
and we would put them up in September so that

50
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.360
when the fruit would fall at the end of the

51
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.879
month there, when the frost would hit, it'd land in

52
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.840
there instead of hitting the ground and getting all damaged.

53
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.199
So they could make you know, like their their gems

54
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.680
or jellies or whatever with it, and they wouldn't have

55
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.479
fruit that was destroyed. It also stopped the turkeys from

56
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.639
coming in and eating all the percimons. So they told

57
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.520
me that the same thing. They went out and they

58
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.000
set it up that year towards the end of September

59
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.240
because early October so is when the uh the per

60
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.159
simons will drop. Once we hit that really or whenever

61
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.039
the first heavy frost hits was in Missouri is usually

62
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.879
towards like the can be anywhere from the late late

63
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.120
September into August, right, And they set up their per

64
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:26.319
simon trap around the two big trees, and they were harvesting.

65
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:27.800
They were coming out with the first frost, they went

66
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.560
out and they got stuff. They went out the next

67
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.599
morning and there was you know, a few percentmons in

68
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.479
the trap, but they knew that there should have been

69
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.000
way more. So they were like, okay, you know, strange.

70
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.599
So they went over to the next trap to get

71
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.000
the persimmons out of there, and it was the same thing.

72
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.599
Almost all of them were gone from there. But here's

73
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.199
the kicker. There was a great big chunk of quartz

74
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.280
rocks sitting in there.

75
00:03:58.960 --> 00:03:59.479
They've and.

76
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.400
So the persimmons were gone, but there was a big

77
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.360
chunk of quartz left in there. Not not like a

78
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.000
perfectly round piece. They told me. It was just like

79
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.039
a broken chunk of quartzite that you would have found,

80
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.560
you know, anywhere in Missouri. The just the standard what

81
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.560
is it, the dreary courts that you can find just

82
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.680
about anywhere. It wasn't polished, it wasn't anything spectacular. It

83
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.560
was just a bit of a glittery piece of quartz.

84
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.600
The pouch comes down in a v for all the

85
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.519
fruit to run down into like the tray area, and

86
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.000
it was just it was there with like a couple

87
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.240
you know, pieces of persimon that were left over, like

88
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.800
the whole fruit, sorry, not pieces, just the fruit and

89
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.040
everything else was gone. So I was like, and what

90
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.079
what was your guys' thoughts? And they were like, well,

91
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.240
it was kind of weird because you know, we used

92
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.480
to cut the grass all around that orchard and everything,

93
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.920
so you don't there's not any rocks in that feet

94
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.800
in that field that we would have known. We would

95
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.920
have run them over with the lawnmower, right, So obviously

96
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.319
they even said something has to have left it there,

97
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.920
whether it was a person or or something else. And

98
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.480
I just I found that really interesting because we used

99
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.360
to go out and we'd find a lot of quartz

100
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.600
out in the woods, you know, and coming from where

101
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.720
I am, like living in Canada and then moving there

102
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.720
and moving back here, we don't have a lot of

103
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.720
that stuff like in my area of Canada, so finding

104
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.600
it was really neat out in the woods. Anytime I

105
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.160
would pick it up and it was shiny. I love

106
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.240
stuff like quartz and malachite and you know, sparkly, anything sparkly.

107
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.920
It's like a like a crow when it comes to

108
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.959
that stuff. And they said it was just so interesting

109
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.759
because it was just it was It definitely wasn't like

110
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.759
thrown in there or anything. They said, it looked like

111
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.000
somebody just had placed it there as if to say

112
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:56.439
sorry about the fruit.

113
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.439
Here's this.

114
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.040
I asked them what they did with it, and they

115
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.040
took it and they put it just like back at

116
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.879
the base of the tree. They just left it there.

117
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.199
And they went.

118
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.240
Through the rest of the persimon harvest for the next

119
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.519
couple of weeks or so per Simmon's falling and things,

120
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.920
and they didn't have anything missing at that point. But

121
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:18.720
when they came back, the piece of quartz was gone.

122
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.000
What she told me was she thinks that maybe whatever

123
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.680
did it thought, okay, they accepted it. They they put

124
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.920
it back that I'm gonna I'm gonna take it back.

125
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.839
Maybe this is my this is our like our trade

126
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:38.600
piece or whatever. So nothing nothing else happened after that,

127
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.480
nothing around the cabin or anything. Until the end of

128
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.120
January early February. We would always go out and tap

129
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.160
our maple syrup tree like the maple trees on the

130
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.800
prop of the sugar maples, and maple sugar would run

131
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.519
like the sap would run when it would get like

132
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360
cold and warm and cold and warm cold nights, warm days.

133
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.160
And they said it was a particularly good season that year,

134
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.000
and we had like plastic taps that you would hammer

135
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:12.759
into the tree and then we would run oh what

136
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.439
do you call that? Like hosing, you.

137
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.240
Know, like yeah, so that the sap goes into the bucket.

138
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.600
I actually grew up doing that too.

139
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.120
Yeah, yeah, just like the tubing, and then that would

140
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.920
run into buckets that had a hole and you know,

141
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.800
the drow right, anything to keep bugs at bark from

142
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.439
falling into your sap. So it was less work in

143
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.720
the end, is what we would do.

144
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:33.560
Uh.

145
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:41.759
And they said that they were walking and his wife

146
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.759
told me that she saw the hose was off of

147
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.680
a few of the taps, and she says it was

148
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.639
down there with its mouth open, just like almost sucking

149
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.319
on the tap.

150
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:55.800
No way.

151
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.399
And when they both come around the corner, he said,

152
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.560
they stepped on a bunch of leaves and it made

153
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.560
like a cracking sound.

154
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.399
Hey, cowboy, how you doing doing pretty good?

155
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.000
How you doing? Hey?

156
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.319
Doing good? Doing good?

157
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:09.600
Well?

158
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.839
Feel free to share what you've come up to share today, sir.

159
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:20.120
Okay, I talked to you. I shared three stories that

160
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.600
I had. I don't remember how many days ago it was,

161
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.079
but you asked me at the end of that if

162
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:26.759
I had anymore, And I told you know, and I

163
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.800
forgot about one of them. Two of them are mine

164
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:39.399
personal stories, and the other one was my dad when

165
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.279
I was so well. Start with a story that my

166
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.480
dad told me when I was a little kid. He

167
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.399
used to have a writing stable when I was about

168
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.639
from the age of two until I was four, and

169
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.720
him and my uncle used to run it. And every fall,

170
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.600
they said there was a big pasture there by the barn.

171
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.600
It was about eighty acres, and then there was a

172
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:14.720
woodline of about thirty acres, and then it went after

173
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.720
you went through that little timber patch there. Then on

174
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.519
the other side of that was another open patch of

175
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.600
about sixty acres.

176
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:29.000
And they said in October of every year, at the

177
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:35.440
time he was there, the horses would never cross that

178
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:40.759
timber in the month of October, ever, and he said

179
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.919
they used to hear whooping sounds.

180
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.919
They called it. The whoop is what they called it,

181
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:52.639
and they would hear twigs breaking and hooping back there,

182
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.960
and the horses would never would never go down there.

183
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.159
And he said when all that ruckus would start, they

184
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.320
would always stay up there around the barn. And that

185
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:12.080
was over by Michigan, Milford, and when I was twelve,

186
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.279
my dad was running a riding stable for Pontiac Lake

187
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:25.559
Riding Stable in Michigan, and he was coming. I remember

188
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.679
we were wearing jackets, and the leaves it was come

189
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.559
and fall, they were still still in the green color.

190
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.919
I just remember it was getting later because during the

191
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.240
evenings you'd have to wear a sweatshirt or something because

192
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.200
it was it was getting cool. Well, he was friends

193
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:43.159
because it was a state riding stable. He knew the

194
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:49.080
game wards there DNR and he became good friends with

195
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.320
one of them. So he decided that we would go

196
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.559
right down to his house. So we saddled up our

197
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.000
horses and he was I don't remember exactly how far

198
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.799
it was because I was all the time, but I

199
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.639
want to say it was somewhere between a mile and

200
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.879
a half to two miles from the house. So we

201
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.639
took a flashlight with us. I don't even know if

202
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.159
he considered a flashlight. It was a fluorescent light that

203
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:19.360
held one of those big square batteries, nine gold batteries,

204
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.360
and yeah, so he had me take it and I

205
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.639
tied it on my saddle horn, and so that was

206
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.639
just for the ride back. Because my dad gets into

207
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.320
a conversation at somebody's house. They sit down, drink coffee,

208
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.480
and we could be there for three four hours. So anyway,

209
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.039
you get down there and we visit with him, and

210
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.559
so he's like, all right, let's go ahead and take off.

211
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.600
So we get on our horses. We're riding back, and

212
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.240
of course it gets dark on the way there, so

213
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.759
I turned the light on. It'll push button on top,

214
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.480
and we're just riding down the road and we're on

215
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:55.360
the home stretch. We're probably I'm going to say, within

216
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.519
a half a mile from the house, and it's it's

217
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.159
pitch black on the gravel road, and it's Michigan. So

218
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:08.879
Michigan is the bush and there's trees everywhere, and I

219
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.799
could hear something off to my right. I'm on the

220
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.559
right side of the road. He's on the on the left,

221
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.840
and I hear something on my right walking beside me

222
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.440
in the bush and all those trees in the brush,

223
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:33.080
and my horse is getting kind of skittish but still

224
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.480
holding the ground. And I look over at my dad

225
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.440
and he just got this weird look on his face,

226
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.279
and he, you know, he said, really calm to me

227
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.240
in his real low voice. He said, Brett Switch places

228
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:45.559
with me.
