00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.520
to me after hearing the podcast and wanted to share

17
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.719
what he experienced in his own life quite a while ago.

18
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.359
But Steve, how are you doing today, sir?

19
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.560
I'm doing good. Just an old fella sitting on my

20
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.640
back on my front porch in the woods. So yeah,

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.840
I'm fining watch sticking the ring out here, but that's okay.

22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.640
It's a year. You are a way out there in Louisiana, corics,

23
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:16.120
I'm the way out in the woods.

24
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.680
Yes, serve southwest Louisiana was from everybody.

25
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.719
I love that. That sounds great to me. But so

26
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.079
we were talking before, and you have had back in

27
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.599
the seventies, you had a really interesting thing happen, and

28
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:34.959
I would love if you'd be able to share with

29
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.000
my listeners what you experienced on the farm that day.

30
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.400
Sure you know, I uh, I'm sixty eight years old

31
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.560
and this happened when I was nineteen nineteen year old

32
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.239
soldier in the military, and all those years, you know,

33
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.719
you have a traumatic experience that sticks in your mind

34
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.120
and you remember details and it's like it yesterday, and

35
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.200
it's kind of like flat spec going back. And I

36
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.159
know being in the military, uh, you know, in combat situations,

37
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.479
I things that stuff with me since I you know

38
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.680
those points too.

39
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.479
So but yeah, I uh, And it's almost gives me

40
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.759
kills to this day even talking about it, because I

41
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.039
guess the best way to start it.

42
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.919
I didn't believe in these things. I didn't believe in

43
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.159
these creatures. I didn't believe these things existed. I was

44
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.879
your basic you can't see it, can't touch it, can't

45
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.680
feel it, it don't exist type of person. And I

46
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.520
always been that way. And uh, uh so this was

47
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.240
a game changer for me. And I learned something very

48
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.080
special on this that not everything we're taught in public

49
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.159
school is reality. Uh there are things that are not

50
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.800
taught or are taught that are not real. And this

51
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.400
is in our face type of situation when it does

52
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.719
pop up, if that makes any sense. Okay, Back in

53
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.439
nineteen seventy five, I was PCs from Fort Bane, Georgia

54
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.240
and down to Fort Poke, Louisiana, first first Infantry Battalion

55
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.520
and uh I, I mean a few of the rangers

56
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.599
came down from uh from uh Benning and the startup

57
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:23.280
we're reactivating first Sea First. Uh. I had a good

58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.199
friend of mine that I was stationed with, and he

59
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.319
was from Arkansas, and uh so, one weekend he said, hey,

60
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.439
he said, uh, look, why don't you come over and

61
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.919
spend the weekend with my family over there my farm.

62
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.719
It's kind of out in the woods, you know, outside

63
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.919
about you know, west west of Camden, Arkansas, which was

64
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.479
a small town back in seventy five, and uh, I said, sure, anytime,

65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.280
you know, anytime you can get off, I'll post on

66
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.120
weekends you want to go because we may have special detail.

67
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.199
They're gonna call you if we're still there. So got

68
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.719
my made myself stairs quick. So I went with him

69
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:03.080
and went up there and uh, men his family and

70
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.680
there's an old farm out there in middle of nowhere.

71
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.120
I mean it was miles outside of a Canden out

72
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.400
there in the woods, and you like wrestled between. Later on,

73
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.280
I found out between Canden and falk Rocket Creek area

74
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.600
and I keep far from there and uh but any case, uh,

75
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.680
the farm was about two hundred creeky acres. Uh and

76
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.279
met his his his brother and his sister. Of course

77
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.040
his sister and he became an item. We used started,

78
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.560
you know. I started going there to see her and

79
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.199
sat him and uh you know, uh so I got

80
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.720
buddy Buddy was his daddy pretty good and uh, I

81
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.839
means the we go ahead and I helped them build

82
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.600
fans and tended the cat on the things on the farm.

83
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.879
I love that kind of thing. Well, there's one sort

84
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.720
of a weekend. It was a red drimicky thing. I

85
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.639
would you know, every weekend, you know, and as they

86
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.160
had dude or something. Uh there's one particular weekend in June.

87
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.160
Uh we got up there. U it is boiler drives

88
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.360
from a post team of the farm and uh so

89
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.800
and uh so her grain the grainy and had made

90
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.519
dinner and she could cook. That woman could make some

91
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.360
fried chicken. This makes you want to bust your socks.

92
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.639
And uh so we ate when he head and hunkered

93
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.519
down and then watched TV about nine thirty that night,

94
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:24.360
and she was in the green, he was in the

95
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.680
kitchen washing dishes. We were all hunkered down again, and

96
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.439
all of a sudden she screamed. And when I say screamed,

97
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.560
I mean it ran through it penetrated through the walls

98
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.480
like somebody has put a butcher knife in her back.

99
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.439
And that old cabin house, it has been one hundred

100
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.040
years old or older. Uh. We all jumped up ran

101
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.720
and he can hear it's not like the whole house

102
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.120
pit the fall apart. Allus running like a stampede going

103
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.560
through this wooden floored house, you know. And we ran

104
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.120
through that out the first one in the kitchen and

105
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.879
got to the door in the kitchen and almost cut

106
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:01.759
a loop over green and she was on the floor

107
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.360
on her behind end, and she was pointing towards the

108
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.759
kitchen window over the saint and she was just yelling,

109
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.480
I seen it again. I seen it again. And she

110
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.959
was frank. Well, I was saying to my military mind,

111
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.920
and she's seen an intruder, someone trying to break in.

112
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.800
So that's what I'm thinking. Evidently her family knew different.

113
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.079
No one let me in on the idea with what

114
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.000
was going on. I just thought it was an intruger. Well,

115
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.920
herd said, you know, arm up, So we all grabbed

116
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.360
rifles and shotguns off the racks in the hallway. They

117
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.480
were all hunters like I was. We love to hunt,

118
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.959
so uh, and we wound up went out back and

119
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.000
going back on the back of the house. She came

120
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.519
down the stairs and it was out there in the

121
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.560
back porch. Came out to the old pasture back there,

122
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.600
and uh, this house, this farm house will probably about

123
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.920
a couple of miles away from the next home, the

124
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.040
next house out there, so it's pretty desolate.

125
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:53.399
Uh.

126
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.480
My girlfriend and her mama stayed inside with grain and

127
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.120
go ahead and tend to her because she was pretty

128
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.000
ship out the boat. Her two brothers went to the

129
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.600
right mean and Daddy went to the left, and we

130
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.399
figured we split up and took them on the ground

131
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.000
going out there. I didn't want to. I'm gonna paint

132
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.959
the picture for you here best I can, so you

133
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.560
can understand. It was a very bright moon night that night,

134
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.240
very bright, you know, not how bright the moon can get.

135
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.879
It's like daylight. You can see almost you can see

136
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.040
across the pasture, you can see everywhere. I mean they

137
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.759
got details and everything. Very bright moon, and I've seen

138
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.040
the cattle across the pasture. They were all hunkered up

139
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.360
together the falling of the pastor and they were cutting

140
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.160
up well. Of course in all country board that pretty

141
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.399
much significant. It means that you know, there's the truth,

142
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.079
there's a predator out there, that's why they do that. Well.

143
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.959
I figured I could have been a Kyle, It could

144
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.120
have been a Bobcat, you know, no big deal. What

145
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.000
did catch my attention was set the first clue off

146
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.959
to me that what we're going after is and just

147
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.639
your every day in Truder was in the three hunting

148
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.800
dogs he had. He had three big old blue ticks

149
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.279
and these were trained to run deer. I mean they

150
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.160
were they were hunting dogs, and uh, they always cut

151
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.040
up all the time. But they were under the porch

152
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.319
and they were whining. They were scared to death. That

153
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.040
caught my attention. Now I'm thinking, wait a minute, this

154
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.560
ain't doing Trader, because it was there in Trader. Them

155
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.480
dogs be cutting up all through the woods. You'd heard

156
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.639
them cross the state cutting up. They're under the house whining.

157
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.800
They're scared what in the world, and scared trained hunting dogs.

158
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.919
So now I'm really on edge my hair and I'm

159
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.559
back in the next standing and I ain't got much

160
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.000
hair in my head being you know, tell you. So

161
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.399
I'm following Bobbie ray And which was her daddy, and

162
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.399
I was following him. I said, uh, what about the dogs.

163
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.759
He said, don't worry about that. Stay close behind me.

164
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.039
He knows what's going on. I don't. He don't letting

165
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.000
me in. And I said, by the way, what we're

166
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.000
going after? He said, stay close behind me. We're going

167
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.639
towards the corner post. You know, there's a corner post.

168
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.960
We had just built this fence. Okay, up months earlier.

169
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.799
We had built this fence and it was a divider

170
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.279
fence from the main pasture, you know, fifty acres swunk

171
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.960
that the head because the two hundred and fifty acre

172
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.279
uh bron like I said, fifty acres of it with

173
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.159
bad swamp, real thick body everything. He didn't want his

174
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.080
cattle going in there. So we built that fence and

175
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.679
about it. It was made out of four foot cattle

176
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.759
panel and you put a sretch of bob wires about

177
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.919
five foot high. And uh so, as we're coming to

178
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.519
the corner post, maybe about ten foot from it, and

179
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:32.440
all of a sudden, we caught a stanch, I mean

180
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.039
a rough. It was. It was, it was. It was

181
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.879
a bad stance here. It was like some guy. And

182
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.960
then all of a sudden, that's when the world came alive,

183
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.039
all of a sudden in the thicket of us oude

184
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.440
of the fence right in front of us. And now

185
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.679
you could we couldn't see it because it's so thick,

186
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.039
but we can go ahead and hear the rustling. It

187
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.600
was like a two thousand ton of rhino just turning

188
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.960
and burning his stale thicket. Rambs are snapping and breaking,

189
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.039
and leaves is crunching, all kinds of stuff going on,

190
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.679
all kinds of racket. Then all of a sudden, at

191
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.240
this point right here and It's gives me chills even

192
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.039
saying this man. I'll tell you what this old man

193
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.960
here about. At this point is when my whole world changed.

194
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.480
This is when everything I was taught to believe and

195
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.480
Whinney fell apart. This thing jumped over the fence. It

196
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.120
was in wrestling. I'm thinking it come over the fence,

197
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:30.200
want to leave. I'm a five foot fence. And it

198
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.360
landed in that pasture right in front of us, maybe

199
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.039
twenty five foot, I bieb. We measured twenty five foot

200
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.759
the next day and pulled it recon become the tracks.

201
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.600
And when it landed down in the in the pastor,

202
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.159
it stood up, and I slowed this down for y'all

203
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.840
to go ahead and give ya the picture. Okay. It's

204
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.360
all happened in a matter of about twenty seconds, but

205
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.360
I'm slowing it down so i'd give you the picture. Okay.

206
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.480
It was quite a down when it maned in the pastor,

207
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.559
it stood up. It stood up, and it stood up

208
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.200
flank of us, Okay, around me, saying by flank, we

209
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.799
were looking at it. It was facing to our right,

210
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.000
so we're looking at his right profile. It stood up.

211
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.240
And then also when it did that, it was like

212
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.559
it took forever stand up. This thing had been everybody

213
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.840
foot tall, maybe nine foot I'm guessing at eight. It

214
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:24.080
was covered in dark hair, long stringy hair. It had

215
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.759
a man's profile. We can see that in the moonlight.

216
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.519
It wasn't a bear. The first thing hit my head

217
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.240
was bear. But then I thought, wait a minute, it

218
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.200
ain't no bear that big in Arkansas. And it didn't

219
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.840
have a bear has a smell. This didn't have a smeout.

220
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:42.600
It had a man's profile. I mean man's lips. I

221
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.080
mean now, I mean the whole nine yards. But it

222
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.840
was covered in hair. It had long arms. Those arms

223
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.639
went down almost to his hands, almost to his knees.

224
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.840
He had big hands, long fingers, I mean big hus hands.

225
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.120
So I knew it was in the barrel, hamd fingers

226
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.519
and had hands falls. But they're standing straight up. What's

227
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.679
on the again? My mind's on the process. This as

228
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.279
with a bear, because I've seen bear, you know, many bears,

229
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.840
and gravely as I've seen black bears. They all stand

230
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.799
up like a man, and they can walk a man.

231
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.919
You know. Well, this thing stood straight up and then

232
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.080
when it ran, and when it did that, it ran

233
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.799
away from us. Didn't try to aggress us, didn't try

234
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.039
to attack us. It ran away from us, which is

235
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.120
the only reason why I had a twelve gage and

236
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.519
her daddy had a four to ten, only reason why

237
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.960
I didn't go ahead and download. I mean, if it

238
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.879
hadn't grassed us, unloaded and reloaded, unloaded again. But it didn't.

239
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.960
It ran from us, and we watched it run across

240
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.559
the pastor a lot of track. Stop again, another indication

241
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.440
that was no bear. Because the bear can't run like

242
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.559
a man. It can't run two legs. It has falled

243
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.360
all fours. It could walk on two legs, but it

244
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.320
can't run legs. Rupture more allowed to so in no

245
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.799
time did it falls all fours. It ran across that

246
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.679
hundred yard pastor straight like a man, swinging on and everything.

247
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.919
I mean, the hold on your When it ran across there,

248
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.120
there's a cattle gate we had built. It's meant an

249
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.559
oak two by sixes and nothing about oak. It's not

250
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.240
not a light wood. It's heavy and it's a hard wood.

251
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.039
And it crashed to that cattle gate and it shredded it.

252
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.000
You hear me, It shredded it like it was a

253
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.039
D nine dozer. Now again. We can say it all

254
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.799
the way out. Now, we always go into my head.

255
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.559
You know, was a guy in a suit. There ain't

256
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.799
no guy I know to run two bout six oaks

257
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.080
in saturday. Ain't happening, son. I mean, you know, a

258
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.440
refrigerator you know, couldn't do that. So this is you

259
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.559
know that? My I mean, what world? When he crashed

260
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.720
through that thing? Now, of course we didn't follow him

261
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.480
past that. That's what scared the fire out of us.

262
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.720
H when it did that and then it hollered, it roared.

263
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.480
It made a huge roar, and it felt like a

264
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:59.759
lion or something, and ended like an elephant. I mean,

265
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.879
it was the weirdest lill I ever heard. Just ge

266
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.759
me chills. Well by that time, that's when her brothers

267
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.519
come around the other end. They said, hey, did you

268
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.720
hear that? Did y'all hear that? I said, here, we

269
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.960
don't see the damn thing? Well, y'all said, I said, yeah,

270
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.519
it comes to the candidates. So we none of us

271
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.879
didn't go over there and chase it. Well, okay, so

272
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.200
we figured next day we go ahead and look back

273
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.720
to the tracks and everything else. But we sat outside

274
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.600
for a few minutes trying to cool down because I'm

275
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.639
talking about heart to race and that now adrenaline is pumping. Well,

276
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.240
I mean where I mean, I had a Cammrad daddy down.

277
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:37.960
He was going crazy and uh so uh we sat

278
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.279
here and I mean he's only her to pry uh

279
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.919
And he said, I don't know what to do. I

280
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.600
don't know what do How do I protect my family

281
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.919
from this? It comes around every once in a while.

282
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.000
I said, you've seen this thing before. He said, yes,

283
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.720
it comes around every once in a while, and it's

284
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.679
never tried to break in the house and always looks

285
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.320
in in the window. Maybe it's her look, maybe that

286
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.679
draws it to it, and it's curious looks in the

287
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.759
window at her. I don't know. Which answered my question

288
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.519
why we saw went in the kitchen. When she was

289
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.399
yelling that, she kept saying she's seen it again, so

290
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.399
evidently it was repeated me and he of course put

291
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.600
the cap on that one. He said, yes, comes around

292
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.200
every once in a while. I don't know what to do,

293
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.039
and he was he was. I said, well, we need

294
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.440
to go ahead and you know, call call the state,

295
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.799
you know, fisheries or something, you know, game control. He said, oh, no, no, no, no,

296
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.159
I don't want no outside outsiders coming in here. This

297
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.639
is a small, you know community out here that time,

298
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.279
Campbell was very small. He said, people will start calling

299
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.759
us crazy if they if we I don't want no

300
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.159
one else knowing about this. He said, Promise me you

301
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.440
will want to talk about it. Well, I'm a soldier, Yeah, yeah,

302
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.320
no problem. I mean, body, I won't talk about it,

303
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.440
you know, I keep my mouth shut. And so we

304
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.559
went up. Her oldest brother was about six foot four,

305
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.600
and I said, hey, look, I said, let's go over

306
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.840
here to the kitchen window.

307
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.120
Pigs for SOCIETYHO will be right back after these messages.

308
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.480
Now houses up on pilings if they lived not too

309
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.200
far from a river, and evidently every once in a

310
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.279
while mats run out. It'll get so they had the

311
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.559
house up on pilings, and I said, look, I said,

312
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.879
you six foot four, I said, raise your hand a

313
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:37.480
pie as you can and see if you can reach

314
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.080
that winter you know. Well he did, and I reckon

315
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.440
that six foot four four arms stretched, his fingertips reached

316
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.480
it up close about eight foot I'd see maybe seven

317
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.639
seven foot and he barely can have set his finger kIPS,

318
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.559
being tomby seven foot up there he can barely go

319
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.639
ahead and touch the body room of that kitchen window,

320
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.279
which put in perspective, and whatever looked in that window,

321
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:05.599
it hadn't been eight foot tower or taller. So now

322
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.039
you know, we're trying to put the puzzle together a

323
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.160
little bit. Well, once we went ahead and calmed down

324
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.759
and I got Bobby calmed down, I said, look, okay,

325
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.079
we went to side and went a had made some coffee.

326
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.720
At that time. Graining was kind of you know, she

327
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.599
was kind of calmed down a little bit, so we

328
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.599
all kind of sat down and just kind of little group.

329
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.200
So I was with Graining trying to find out. You know,

330
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.759
I said, when you see this thing's face, what look like?

331
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.359
We've seen its profile, we see nobody we know, we

332
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.279
know what we've seen, but we didn't see its face

333
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.920
straight on. What what did you see? What look in

334
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.319
the window at you? She sad, I've seen this face

335
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.319
very well, I've seen it many times. And I said,

336
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.519
what it looked like? She said, like a huge man's face.

337
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.079
It almost looked the whole window. And she said it

338
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.720
had rough skin, her hair around its face, but not

339
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.839
on its face, if that makes sense, and huge nose

340
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.640
and it had big red glowing eyes. And I said, well,

341
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.559
you know, so that just threw me for a way.

342
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:10.599
I've never heard about the red eye thing. You know,

343
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.440
that's that he was back in seventy five. So, you know,

344
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:16.039
I'm thinking, normally, I'm thinking about lating to the vampires

345
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:23.039
on the moving so wow, well she was, she was

346
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.599
a they were, they were strong Pentecostals, and uh you know,

347
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.799
she was thinking, you know, I don't know if this

348
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.160
thing's evil or what you know. And I asked a

349
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.279
few questions. I said, well, Bobby said, I never heard

350
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.559
of break in the house. She said, no, it never

351
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.480
has heard to break in the house. It never tried

352
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.880
to attack anybody. And so she said, We've never had

353
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.759
any problem with that. And the only destruction that's ever

354
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.880
done was, of course, that same night went broke to

355
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.440
the candidate. Uh So we set up half coffee. The

356
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.039
rest of the night, no one slept. Everyone was too wired.

357
00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:59.759
And I'm talking about we were. There's no way there

358
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.920
was a sleep after all that. And uh so when

359
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.920
it got daylight, we decided to pull a rout time.

360
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.839
Of course, the girls were standing. They didn't want to

361
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.960
go out there. So Grinnie and my girlfriend and her

362
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.559
mama stayed in the house, so me and the brothers

363
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.559
and Eddie went out there and we started back at

364
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.640
the point of Lords and where the creature falks first

365
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.440
jumped over the dividing fence and the swamped to the pastor.

366
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.480
We fell on the tracks where it landed right there,

367
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.079
big old footprints right there, and then of course it

368
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:35.079
ran across the past and h Yeah, it was gentinitely

369
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.640
heavy to the way it swunk down in that dirt,

370
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.559
I mean in that grass. It was heavy. So we

371
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.319
figured it had it being looking at it as muscular

372
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.680
and power and powerful it was built. It hadn't been

373
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.799
probably six maybe seven hundred pounds, as well as being

374
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.480
eight foot taller dollar many cases. It jumped that fence,

375
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.039
it cleared that fence, that fire foot fants cleared the

376
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.200
barb wide, no hair nothing on that original fancould jump.

377
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.119
And then when we follow the footprints crossed the pasture

378
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.480
by one hundred yard pastor, and I was on the

379
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:16.160
footprints followed them. I can cut, I can cut by foot.

380
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.759
I got and my my feet I was size kin

381
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.920
I put here or toe in one print. My toes

382
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.279
would go over, but the rest of my my first

383
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.640
foot and most of my my my right foot were

384
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.839
in that print. So we figured about seventeen inches eighteen

385
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.039
inches long on the footprints would be consistent with something

386
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.559
the size of what we're seen. Uh. We went down

387
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.319
to of course, fall down to the cattle greet where

388
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:52.640
it was broken, shuddered, shattered. Two by six ers were

389
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.279
shattered and broken, the bob wire was broke. We found

390
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.960
blood on the bob wire hair. All that now under

391
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.160
staying this is the seventy five. This is long before

392
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.160
computers and cell phones. We didn't have that back then.

393
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.480
So back then, you know, we were just it was.

394
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.880
There was no actual scientific DNA testing back then, that

395
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.640
kind of stuff, so we never fired by clicking the

396
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.799
hair and the blood or anything else. So it was

397
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.480
to this day I wish we would have, you know,

398
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.359
but it would have been amazing bunting case. The power

399
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.319
of this thing going through that category did two things.

400
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.559
Number One, it pulled the force that pulled the corner post.

401
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.000
The corner post is made out of a cutdown telephone

402
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.880
pole something about five foot deep in the ground. It

403
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.319
jerked it and laid it down. You didn't break it.

404
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.920
It jerked it over and laid it down. Do you

405
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.079
have any kind of idea of the force it would

406
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.079
take to do something like that. That's tremendous amount of force.

407
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.839
Not to mention, about twenty foot to the left of

408
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.559
that cattle gate was a squeezeheet for those who want

409
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:06.519
to know what a squeeze shoot is. Uh. And when

410
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.359
people who have cattle, you know, uh, you know they

411
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.640
have a squeeze shoe spe shoot, they run the cattle

412
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.400
through it when they work in their cattle, they squeeze

413
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.279
it down. It squeezes down around the cow or the

414
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.839
bowl holds it in place where you can go ahead

415
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.960
and tag it, clip their horns, whatever you want to do. Uh.

416
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.839
And uh, the whole lot usual to manage. Well, that's

417
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.799
an iron cage and it done, it done, bent those bars.

418
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.440
I'm talking about just then amount of all to say again,

419
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.480
it's then it's mental force. So this is like a

420
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.200
bottle of my mind. Then after it went on down,

421
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.279
how did that went on? And we went into a huge,

422
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:50.640
huge uh uh saw tooth brier patches. It's none of

423
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.839
the sayers there and we wasn't about to go through

424
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.720
there and follow it, you know, traction further.

425
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:56.880
Uh.

426
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:01.079
That just went on Tenny into the woods after that.

427
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.920
So after all that, we went back and sat down house,

428
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.119
and of course Bobby went and and please don't talk

429
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.480
about this to anybody. I don't want. You know, we've

430
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.559
got to reputation. You know. We bring our produced to

431
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.359
town and we go ahead and sell it there, and

432
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.440
if the work gets out, people think we're crazy. We'll

433
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.480
just lose our business and everything. I said, Man, don't worry.

434
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.039
I will not go ahead and mention the thing. And

435
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.359
we didn't. When me and her brother went back to

436
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:30.720
the post. You know, we never talked about it, not

437
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.920
even amongst ourselves. In the following weekends that I went,

438
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:39.599
Uh went there, we never talked about it. We can

439
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.799
get over there. It's like it never happened. Bobby didn't

440
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.400
bring it up. We didn't bring it up. And that

441
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:46.559
was it. It was taba. We didn't even talk about it.

442
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.880
And the following weekends after that that I went there,

443
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:54.000
I never seen it again. Now did it come around

444
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:55.920
during the week when I wasn't there, I don't know.

445
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.000
They never said and I didn't ask. But the weekend

446
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.720
is after that I was there, Uh, we never saw

447
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.440
I never saw it again. But it was always on

448
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:14.960
my mind. And so when I was, I guess so

449
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.440
shocked at this that I decided to go ahead and

450
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:23.119
just keep it locked up inside of me. And I did.

451
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.640
And I came out of the military in eighty one

452
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:32.200
and came back, you know, and overseas, and of course overseas,

453
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.119
I came back, and I came back here in Louisiana.

454
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.960
I went ahead and I buried myself and get a

455
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:38.759
part of the woods I could find, which I did,

456
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.880
and met my wife and then the phone and got married.

457
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.559
We got me out here in this woods. Out didn't

458
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.000
know nowhere. It's almost seven miles my back door through

459
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.960
the woods to the next house. I live in a small, hilarious,

460
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:59.680
small community in southwest Louisiana. And so, uh, my first

461
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.519
time I I ever talked about it. Well, I didn't.

462
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.160
Through my whole career law enforcement never even talked about it.

463
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.039
People I talked to who did see these things, I

464
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.559
just I would encourage them. I said, yeah, I mean,

465
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.759
you know, I don't think you're crazy, and you know,

466
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:16.200
I want you to know I believe you. But I

467
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.799
wouldn't tell them. Why I wouldn't tell Marion County. I

468
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.799
wasn't writing to you. I kept in inside me for

469
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.720
all the years, over forty five years. Well, then one

470
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.359
day I hung off of the woods and of course

471
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:35.200
my wife's uncle, my hunting buddy. He was older than

472
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.759
I was, and so uh one I told my said,

473
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:40.559
uncle Lewis. I said, I'd still hunt more din to

474
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.400
cook the creek, which was about ten miles from here.

475
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.519
And he said, no, no, no, I don't go there.

476
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.240
I'm not going to go there. I've been there in years.

477
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.400
And I said, well, because maybe because the train was

478
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:52.440
pretty rough over there, which it was. He said, no,

479
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.839
it'sout the train. He said, I've seen something there years

480
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:57.680
ago and I ain't never even back and it's back

481
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.440
in the fifties. And I said, whoa. So I said,

482
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.279
what do you see? I ain't telling you. I ain't

483
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.079
even talk about it because people I'm crazy. I ain't

484
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.200
telling my family. He said, your wife don't know. That

485
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.119
was his neat. So I kept on, you know, maybe

486
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.319
it's a law enforcement in kept going bugging I'm about it.

487
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:20.480
So he finally come out and said all right, uh,

488
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:22.160
And I said, well, let me tell you mine kind

489
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.519
of If I tell you this one for those maybe

490
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.680
the kind of jolly memory of it didn't get you

491
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.200
used up. So the first time in many years, I

492
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.559
told him what happened to me in Arkansas, what I've seen,

493
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.480
and it kind of felt good to get it off

494
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:37.240
my chest and tell him that that old man over

495
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.680
my fok down cried because I guess I ain't crazy there,

496
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.720
and I said, no, sure, you're not crazy. He when

497
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:46.960
he hadn't told me he's encountered, he's seen, and he

498
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.759
was hesitant, but he did. And so when he said,

499
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.079
you know, he saw a very similar creature to what

500
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.759
I've seen, And of course there's several sightings out here,

501
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.640
I've never seen him out here in Losing and I've

502
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.039
lived out here in these back now, hunting these backwoods

503
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.200
and these swamps out here for nearly thirty five forty

504
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.920
thirty eight years. I've never seen a creature out here

505
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.400
or I saw in Arkansas. I wish I can tell

506
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.480
you I have, because people have seen them all around here.

507
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.960
I just have it. I never have, So I said,

508
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.920
people tell me all the time, I waste you believe

509
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.400
that you are. You can tell people you've seen one

510
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:24.279
every day. I said, uh uh, I would I would

511
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.559
kill my credibility. I'm not going to do that. I'll

512
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.759
tell you what I see in Arkansas. That's it. I

513
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:31.039
have not seen one sin I've never seen one again,

514
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.000
and I don't want to see one again, no desire to.

515
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.559
I have all I respect in the world for people

516
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.640
who go out there and hunt these things now and

517
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.440
want to find out the reality of them, and they

518
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.319
want to hunt them as far as you know, learning

519
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.920
more about them and everything else and try to find

520
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.960
one or whatever. That's fine. Don't blame me with you

521
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.000
because I won't go. I don't want to. I do

522
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.039
not want to see one again. That that rather on

523
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.880
my cage, because it showed me that there's things living

524
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.200
in this world that where not bost we were taught

525
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.359
don't exist, but they did. And before I seen that creature,

526
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:09.119
I arg some one around if they said they saw one,

527
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:13.960
I'm gonna leave that in line. Now, are you in

528
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.000
the ground telling you they do exist? If you say,

529
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.240
don't you for an argument, because I won't. I under

530
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:21.680
stand my ground. I know they exist. I've seen this,

531
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.319
no doubt, and uh, but I never seen when out

532
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.559
here losing and I've hunted all these woods out here

533
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:31.359
now It's always in my mind, you know. I did

534
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.680
one podcast. One of the guys that asked me, he said, well,

535
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.039
do you ever think about it when you go hunt?

536
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:37.880
And I said, every every time I go out in

537
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.119
these woods, I think about it, cause I hunt myself

538
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.680
a lot, and uh, you know, I don't know. Uh,

539
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.799
And then maybe they're lucky at me, but I've never

540
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.279
seen one that since I've been out here. And of

541
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:54.400
course there's about forty five miles north of me is

542
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.240
a town called zoo wally In Museum. Of course, the mayor,

543
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:01.279
I said, well, they called to bfrou here's years back

544
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.160
because all the people in that area, that town were

545
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.799
seeing the farmers out there were seeing these creatures and

546
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.119
they so many sightings that he called the b FRL

547
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.160
And actually that show Finding Bigfoot came out there, did

548
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.319
a series or the Mony out There Shill out there

549
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.720
in Ziwali a few years back, because there were so

550
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.039
many sightings and it ties into Kasati National Forest, which

551
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.960
is where when I was in the military at Fort

552
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.920
Police training out in that area called peace On Ridge

553
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.960
that was part of the Kasati and CASA's a forwards

554
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.359
to six hundred and six, six hundred one thousand over

555
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:42.880
six hundred thousand acres. It's huge. And there's been multiple

556
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:48.559
sightings out there of these creatures and so so that

557
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.200
that's just uh. But I just never I never have

558
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.119
seen one out here in Louisiana. And if I ever did,

559
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.920
I mean people tell me and go get you can

560
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:59.680
go out there behind your house and use some dream

561
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.359
dot Are you crazy? I don't want to see one again.

562
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.359
I'm looking call one up, so not sir, and uh.

563
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:16.039
But in any case, this was something that just I guess, uh,

564
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:20.599
you know, to this day I stayed just just amazed

565
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:23.799
at it because I have to pinch my skin and say,

566
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.079
you know, did I really see what I saw? And

567
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:31.640
I did? And these things are coming out more and

568
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:36.079
more now they are people are singing more and more now.

569
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.960
But my my my answer for that, and I be

570
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.680
one hundred percent wrong, is my answer for it. My philosophy.

571
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.400
Because we're clear cutting, you know, we're clip cutting now

572
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:47.839
people are we're going out there, we're cliar cutting this lamb.

573
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.559
We're taking all these for us out, taking out their habitat.

574
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:54.880
So naturally there's being is becoming more sightings. Now these

575
00:30:54.880 --> 00:31:00.160
creatures have less areas to hide in. And you know,

576
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.039
I believe they're half part human and part animals. It

577
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.960
is the reason I'll say that, because they're very smart

578
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.000
and being half that, being half human half animal gives

579
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.079
them the ability to be the perfect creature because they

580
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.559
have the human ability of reasoning. If they're part human

581
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:24.680
and that's dangerous.

582
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.440
Pigs a society will be right back after these messages.

583
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:47.519
Okay, what can you kind of that? Or you know,

584
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:50.559
a couple that with with the uh the sixth sense

585
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.079
of an animal and the agility and the speed of

586
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.480
a bobcat, you know, and answers why they move so

587
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.039
fast of course of their size, what they do and

588
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.880
how fast they go, but also they have that natural

589
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:05.240
camouflage of an animal. And people ask me all the time,

590
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.440
you know, I got several calls from people on the

591
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.319
podcast asking me, you know, what's your philosophy on that?

592
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:13.640
Why do you think they you know that? And the

593
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:16.680
how they can camouflage themselves so well? I said, easy.

594
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.319
Anyone who's a gear hunter, squirrel hunter will tell you this.

595
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.519
You can walk through the woods and I've been an

596
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.799
added gear hunter on my life. You know, a squirrel hunter,

597
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:29.119
and you go through the woods. One of the biggest

598
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.559
camouflage is that the ability of camouflage that an animal

599
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.039
has and a gear or a squirrel isn't just melding

600
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.119
into them the to the to the environment, you know,

601
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:43.839
to the trees and such. It's standing still. We call

602
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:48.279
it freeze frame. If you're out there at a woodline,

603
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:52.160
you're walking through a pasture, there's a woodline around, a creature,

604
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:56.799
an animal, whatever can be at that woodline and stand still,

605
00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.920
not necessarily be hidden in the bushes or to leave,

606
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.920
just standing still and you won't know it it's there

607
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:08.720
because as humans, what do we recognize? We pick up

608
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.680
things by movement. Okay, by movement. If it's out there

609
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.119
in the woodline and all of a sudden you see

610
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:18.519
it moved, now you got you can pick it up.

611
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:21.400
But if it stands still, you can't see it. Deer hunters,

612
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:25.440
I mean, you walk through the woods and if a

613
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:27.359
deer standing there and he's hunt it down on the

614
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.359
bus you're not going to see them because they stay

615
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.200
still a freeze frame. They don't move and we can't

616
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:36.240
sense that until they move and break form. And in

617
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.119
the military, they you know, I taught us the truth,

618
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.720
the truth Uh, the value is camouflage. And what camouflage

619
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:45.279
actually is is actually going ahead and blaming in new surroundings.

620
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.039
That's what it is. You know, it's breaking up your

621
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:52.279
form and blaming in new surroundings. That's what actual camouflage is. Hence,

622
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.279
while they built, they designed the gilly seat in the military,

623
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.079
you know, and so uh that's why they actually the

624
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.799
military went to stages on their camouflage, fatigues and combat

625
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:06.599
you know, your bed us and all that kind of thing.

626
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.920
They want a military they went to. Now they have

627
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:15.239
My military today has those those digital uniforms. Now they

628
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.360
actually are smaller forms of camouflage and they actually can

629
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:23.360
stand you know, hide better, it blended better, and so

630
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:25.679
that's you know what they have today. Fact when I was,

631
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.480
they didn't have that, you know, he said, uh, in

632
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.599
cotton fatigues. But in any case, so, uh, that's hotsilosity

633
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.519
on that, you know what they caause I get all

634
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:41.000
kinds of calls from people, Oh man, you know, what

635
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.719
do you think about you know this, and how do

636
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.199
you think they do that? Why don't I think they

637
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.360
go ahead and they find bones anywhere and you know

638
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.920
they probably burying their own. I'm sure, you know, I

639
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.639
would think so. Uh, you know, I found here all

640
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:56.960
my life. I can't ever tell you in the time

641
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.519
that I never found a us in the woods now,

642
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.079
I mean now they die out there. And if I

643
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:03.960
get shot or by air or by a bullet and

644
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.840
they run out there and no one ever finds them,

645
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:08.559
they can't cut them down and they fall out and die. Yeah,

646
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.159
but I've never come across the Gift Skelloton and I'll

647
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:13.000
walk into the thickest parts of the woods, the swamps

648
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.800
you can find, you know. And so I'm sure they're

649
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.920
out there, but just hey, what happens and almost take

650
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:24.400
them whatever happens over there in the time. But these

651
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.159
punches here, I believe are they they climb trees, they

652
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.000
get up to the tree tops and were looking at

653
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.039
the bottom and ground floor, you know, looking around them

654
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.480
and roots and looking down at the tree trunks and

655
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.880
looking out around that area eye level. We don't think about, Hey,

656
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:41.599
they can be up to the tree tops and if

657
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:45.320
they are, just what there you go, you know. So

658
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:49.360
there's so many different things on that, But I'll tell

659
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:51.199
you one thing. I do believe. I do believe they

660
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:53.639
see that's before we see them lots of people out

661
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.440
there who don't believe these things exist. I promise you,

662
00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:58.280
when they've got out in the woods, those creatures have

663
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.480
seen them. They have seen the creature. But those creatures

664
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.039
have seen them. And that's that's how these things are.

665
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.280
I believe that one hundred percent. There, I'm said, they've

666
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.320
seen me out here, and he's woods, so I had

667
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:12.039
not seen them, you know, but I they've seen me,

668
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.840
you know. So, But that's it right there. You know,

669
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:21.239
it's kind of crazy. But uh, I mean, you know,

670
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.559
things like that would just shake shake, shake you up,

671
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:27.880
and you you think, wait, I find for my wife

672
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:29.760
and my kids, you know, about when I started doing

673
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:32.920
these podcasts and I said, look, I said, this is

674
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:34.559
what I've seen. Now all I want to throw this

675
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:36.920
in the next real quick. My son and oldest son,

676
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.679
uh he knew, he said. He they both believe these

677
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.559
things exist. They never seen one. My son in Tennessee,

678
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.159
he said, this book Big Flip conference is all over Tennessee,

679
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:51.280
he said, And you know, he's talked with several of

680
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.360
his officers. He used to work for a share department,

681
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.840
you know, and he said that they've seen them and

682
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.639
you know out there, but in any case there you know,

683
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.639
he came back here to lose in one time. He said, Papa,

684
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.639
I want to take you over here to Valan Falkansas

685
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.880
out to the Big Trip Museum. It's over there in

686
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.719
the falcon I never been there before, you know. This

687
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.800
is why I learned how close falk was to that

688
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:23.119
my my walle Intruifence farm. And so went there, met

689
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.960
the owner it's a few years back, and talked to him.

690
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:30.119
I told him my encounter and he said, wow. He

691
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.039
said he's reading something. He said, you know, I've never

692
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:34.239
seen one, but I haf heard him. And I got

693
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.119
I've got recordings on my phone when I've been out

694
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:41.159
here in the Bunny Creek area and out here folks swamp,

695
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:43.639
and I've heard these things, and I want you to

696
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:48.440
hear them. And I did. A couple of them didn't

697
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:52.000
sound familiar, but one of them made my next stand up.

698
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.760
It was very similar to what I heard. And he said,

699
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:59.320
he said, and you've seen this thing, uh on this

700
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.920
side of Canda. I said, yes, sir, I said, you know,

701
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.119
ten fifteen miles inside of Candy. He said, well, you know,

702
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.719
candidates is down the road here. He said, so you're

703
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:10.840
more or less you know, I believe you have seen

704
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:13.840
the same thing, because that was seen here in seventy

705
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.199
one in the Bunky Creek area. That's where no sighting

706
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:17.760
started to be happening out here. And you've seen this

707
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.039
a few years later in seventy five. It's down on

708
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.480
the road. He said, they migrate. I believe you've seen

709
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.159
something in the similars or not the same one won

710
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.119
the same family. I said, well, I don't know. I

711
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.760
can't promise swear to that, but I said it's very possible.

712
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:37.119
I reckon being given the vicinity. And so he said.

713
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:38.679
He said, man, he said you ought to come out

714
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.599
here sometime and go something. And he said, you know trips.

715
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:45.599
They go on hunting trips for these things. I said, no, sir,

716
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.599
that's where I drive the line. I have no desire

717
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:49.599
to see one again.

718
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:53.559
So did they have hunting trips or are they going

719
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:56.800
on like expeditions expeditions hunt.

720
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:58.760
When I say hunting, I'm not talking about hunting my weapons.

721
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:02.039
I'm talking about, you know, far as you use the

722
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.159
wrong word, telling my bad. But yeah, I mean because

723
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:06.920
I wouldn't want anyone to hunt it. I mean as

724
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.920
far as killing one. You know. I know I've asked

725
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.599
me and asked, why did you carry your gun that night?

726
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.000
I said, he armed up to it. I was an intruder,

727
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.320
now I did. They knew what it was. But that

728
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:19.960
and when I seen this thing, I said, if you

729
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.639
did in, okay, some towards us, I wouldn't going to

730
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.639
hit Now I was doing it, I wouldn't talk. Twice,

731
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:27.159
I said, but it ran awayness And when it ran

732
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.760
away from me, and that that gave me a I

733
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.719
guess it almost a sense of humility, like this thing

734
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.599
does not want to go in. It's not violent. I'm

735
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.440
not going to sit there and shoot it, you know.

736
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:40.880
So no I didn't. And some pebody asking me I

737
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.480
didn't succeed it, you know, I said, I'm not going

738
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.119
to do that. That's not me. I mean, I believe

739
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.840
I wrong pulling two reasons protecting the food and that

740
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.440
was neither a reason to do that right there. He

741
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:52.840
didn't attack us and I wasn't to eat it, so

742
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:58.519
you know, so uh but no, I mean, yeah, I'm

743
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.159
all behind people who going ex to the editions Old

744
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:03.320
Boyhood does that podcast for?

745
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:05.320
Uh what's the name?

746
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:10.079
Sorry? Uh? Uh? I think it's it's sasquashed theory. He

747
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.119
doesn't that one there. Yeah, yeah, he goes out there

748
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.800
on on on this business all the time. Yeah, you know,

749
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:19.559
and that's and that's great. I mean that is really good.

750
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.840
And uh so I said, man, I said, uh, and

751
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:27.119
what kind of got me? Uh? What kind of got me?

752
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:32.840
Uh thinking about you know, touching lives as far as

753
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:35.800
helping people come forward with this. After I did that

754
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.880
one with sasquath theory with Miguel, about four months later,

755
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:43.840
he got a hold of me and uh, he said, hey,

756
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:45.840
he said, you need to check. You need to check

757
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.719
the question the comments here and everything. He said, we

758
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.679
getting all kind of calls. And he said, brother, he said, look,

759
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.840
he said, you would have got on this four months

760
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:57.719
and only hit two hundred and forty five thousand views.

761
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:01.760
And I said what, Yeah, he said yeah, he said,

762
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:04.519
it's getting people asked questions. They want to go ahead

763
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.239
and come forward with theirs. Now, I said, well great,

764
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:09.079
So I started going back on there. They answered the

765
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.119
questions and that's what that's where it started, that right there.

766
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.639
And you know that's why I said, I'm on a

767
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:16.639
question now to help, you know, get people to go

768
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:18.960
ahead and help them come forward with theirs, because I

769
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:22.480
know how it felt to keep it in all those years.

770
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.480
I wanted to say something, but not to you know,

771
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.800
my wife would have called me crazy. My sons would

772
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.880
have called me crazy. But they they they see the

773
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:33.960
stuff in their lives, so they kind of, you know,

774
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:36.800
pretty much, you know, I understand it, and of course

775
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:42.119
they all believe you. But it's just h I get

776
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:43.920
by the grace of God and go on. That's how

777
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:44.679
I can say.

778
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:50.440
Incredible. Yeah, did people need to realize how there are

779
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.320
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that have shared

780
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.760
publicly what they've experienced, and so they're not just a

781
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.880
singular person in a world where no one else has

782
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.480
seen this thing. Just they need to you know, be

783
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.199
able to realize they can step forward and share on

784
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.519
a on a show like this or like Sasquatch theory,

785
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.920
you know, on all the all those so in case

786
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:20.119
people were a lot of people like to to know.

787
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.000
And we're not going to say like exact locations, but

788
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:26.639
if someone was like so you're saying within like a

789
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:30.119
fifteen mile radius of Camden, if someone has also had

790
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:33.320
a sighting in there, then that's pretty close.

791
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.800
I would say, so, yeah, I I already have people

792
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:39.559
ask me about that, and yeah, I told them, I said, yeah,

793
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:41.320
that area right there. And I've had Seba get a

794
00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:42.760
hold of me and say that they've been through that

795
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.239
area before. They've had encounters out there, you know, but

796
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:48.000
be the same one and my I don't know. But

797
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:50.920
I mean I've had you know, truck drivers call me

798
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:53.920
and say, hey, man, look you know so yeah, I

799
00:42:53.960 --> 00:43:02.039
mean that that's that's often saw the very h Louisiana

800
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.000
is Arkansas really is. And you get up in that area,

801
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.840
it's all woods. I mean it's thick, thick, thick, So

802
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:11.760
I mean yeah, and so many sightings out there. Of

803
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.480
course you're Louisiana. People don't think there's that many sightings

804
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:18.480
lose in it. It's full. There's the signings, I mean,

805
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:20.920
all of them losing. So I mean it's about a

806
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:24.079
few miles from here. And and uh, you know, like

807
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:28.679

good boat. But he said, he said, everyone out there

876
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:23.280
in the in sense. And I said wow. And so

877
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:26.880
I mean, I was like wow. You know, so people

878
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:30.679
start it just helps them to open up. I don't

879
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.880
talk about because he said, I don't tell nobody this.

880
00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:37.119
Oh businessman, I can't afford to hurt my business. I said,

881
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.639
I understand that, you know, and so I respect him

882
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:42.639
for not, you know, wanting to tell all the people.

883
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:46.199
But you know what thing about it is. Hell, he

884
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:48.960
heard me come out of count and he encouraged him

885
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:52.000
to come forward with his And that's the medicine right there.

886
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.480
You know, So no doubt when when you and you

887
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:57.480
can decline this if you want, but when you were

888
00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:59.880
in law enforcement and you said there you were in

889
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.159
area where there are a lot of people coming forward

890
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:06.480
with encounters and you didn't tell them yours. But is

891
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:10.000
that something where you can share roundabouts where that area

892
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:12.159
was that there are lots of people coming forward.

893
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.719

904
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:55.360
believe anything existed either, if you believe my story. But

905
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.719
he said, I don't believe it out here in Louisiana.

906
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:02.360
So he worked for an excurient m racing company rebug Extermination.

907
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:05.320
I won't say the name of the company. But he

908
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.039
was going through the woods over here outside the ritter

909
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.239
And which was a very small town's riders maybe populace

910
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.840

914
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:27.599
was coming down side road to the woods, trying to

915
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:29.920
hurry up to the house to go ahead and spray.

916
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:32.880
And he said something was on the side of the

917
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:35.559
road and it was like a huge hog. He saw.

918
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.559
He follows a hog. At first he was covered in hair.

919
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:41.280
He said, hogs don't have hair, he said, And it

920
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:43.840
stood up and he said it walked across the road

921
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:47.440
and he almost hit it with his truck and he

922
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.119
said that he wasn't such an rush. He just you know,

923
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.280
kind of stopped and kind of see where it went

924
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:54.280
to you. But he said it was like a man,

925
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:57.840
a huge man that's covered in hair, and uh so,

926
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.880
uh you know, he told me, he said, hey, I

927
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:04.000

940
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.719
And I have talked to a few people that actually

941
00:50:53.920 --> 00:51:01.840
had seen down in South Louisiana these things, nor if

942
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:04.559
you want to call it that, from a human team,

943
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:08.239
these creatures, and I uh, I had a preacher's wife,

00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:19.199
but she didn't understand what it was. But it really

947
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:23.400
worked from a human into a uh into I. Uh,

948
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:26.159
I said, wow, you know, so I've never seen the

949
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:28.719
dog man. I've never seen a ringer. I you know,

950
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:33.159
they're thick all through South Louisiana and you're going towards

951
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.480
around that Batteries New Orleans area, you know, grand Is

952
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.000
and all that. You know, Uh, there's a lot you know,

953
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:42.320
honey On Swamp and all that area there. Uh those

954
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:46.039
are thick with with with with these uh these these

955
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:51.039
creatures and uh so yeah, but I've you know, it's

956
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:53.440
you come up this part of Louisiana, in Central Louisiana

957
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:57.199
and in North Louisiana, there's just his many they're all

958
00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:02.800
through here, so you know, uh h it's very unique,

959
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.480
you know, very unique. And uh then because Florida, you

960
00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.480
got them out there and they come skunk gapes out

961
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:11.400
there and they see him out there way and so

962
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:14.920
you know, uh, you know, I'm riving from grow up

963
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:17.079
in southern California. They just go up there to to

964
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.159
seventy valleys and when I was a kid going camping

965
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.599
out there mountains up there, and uh, you know they

966
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:26.280
have a statue of big foot out there. Of course,

967
00:52:26.480 --> 00:52:29.239
never I always laughed at it before I had my

968
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.920
inten thought. You know, they don't exists. That's people's crazy,

969
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:36.800
you know. But of course my perspective on that scenes.

970
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:43.519
Uh, the reports of a dog man are those coming

971
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:45.960
from the same areas that there's a lot of bigfoot

972
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.360
reports coming from or do you find that they're from

973
00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:49.360
different areas.

974
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:54.039
No, they're they're all in similar areas. Yeah. Yeah. Uh.

975
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:58.480
Now I said, I've never seen dog band myself. I

976
00:52:59.199 --> 00:53:02.039
h I don't don't doubt they exist. I mean, I

977
00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:05.239
know what bigfoot does. I don't doubt they exist. I'm

978
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.519
sure they do. I I just never seen myself. But

979
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:12.199
many people have seen these things. And that's kind of

980
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:14.559
like what my my brother in laws thought he saw,

981
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:18.039
you know, when it stet up on it and walked

982
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:20.800
across the road on two p in front of his truck.

983
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:23.639
You know, it might have been on a dog man

984
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:25.760
or something. But I, you know, I don't know. He

985
00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:27.360
couldn't swear to what I you know, I don't know,

986
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:30.280
but you know, there's lots of people claiming that, hey,

987
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:34.199
they're seeing these things. Now what are they? I don't know,

988
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.760
I mean highbred. I mean it can be anything, you know, Uh,

989
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.239
you know, it could be anything. I mean, there's lots

990
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.880
of hybrids out there of these creatures. Are different creatures

991
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:46.639
out there and stuff. They're finding them all the time,

992
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:50.320
and who knows what's going on?

993
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:55.960
Are there any theories or legends down there of why

994
00:53:56.119 --> 00:53:59.880
there could be different areas in Louisiana where you're seeing

995
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:04.599
not only Bigfoot but also dog Man and probably other things.

996
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:09.280
Well well exception of the fact that you have so

997
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:14.320
much thick woods out here and swamps out here and everything. Uh.

998
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:18.079
The you know, the people out here lives in are

999
00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:20.639
very you know, very very what's the word, I want

1000
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:25.480
to superstitious in a sense, you know, because this state

1001
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.000
is based on old France and beliefs and everything else,

1002
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:34.480
and so there's you know, boodoo and that kind of

1003
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:37.559
stuff you know, is more prevalent down South Zima and

1004
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.400
is around here. But there's still you know a lot

1005
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:42.239
of your old occasions and that kind of thing you

1006
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:47.800
believe in. You know, there's times to all that, and

1007
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:54.719
you know, we do have uh and I don't follow

1008
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:57.639
into it, but there we do have a lot of

1009
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:00.679
what they call devil wors. Devil wors out here. When

1010
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:03.920
I was working in law enforcement, we had to provide

1011
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.480
had to provide security because there there was a calls

1012
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:10.599
that they were going to go head and tag blonde hair,

1013
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.599
blue eyed girls at the high school problems. So we

1014
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:15.719
had to go provide security and uh uh you know

1015
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:20.320
for them. And uh that same evening we had found

1016
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:26.039
several cows, freshly killed cows and they were all drained

1017
00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:29.280
the blood and no eyes. Freshly killed but no blood,

1018
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:33.719
no eyes. Now that's when we were you know. Uh.

1019
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:38.920
One of my associates and he told me, he said,

1020
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.440
I think that's some devil works for doing this stuff

1021
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:44.760
and certain sabbaths and that kind of thing. They use

1022
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:48.000
that for the deal in it. And I will take

1023
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:52.519
I will tell you this. People associate these devils and

1024
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:55.840
stuff like that with drug heads and people living on

1025
00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:59.840
you know, in a shacky apartment or something. No them.

1026
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:02.480
Some of the people are high up some of the community,

1027
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:06.760
high up leadership. And I know that for a fact,

1028
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:12.199
But like I say, uh so it's it gets pretty creepy.

1029
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:15.800
But I think about that, but no, I will Loseinga's

1030
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:18.079
got so much lower you know about it and everything else.

1031
00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:22.440
And it's a beautiful state. It's just got so much

1032
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:26.679
lower about it. And people wonder, you know, hey, you know,

1033
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.719
like I said, all these years later, when I go

1034
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:33.360
out hunting in the woods, I love hunting. You're hunting,

1035
00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:36.360
squirrel hunting, hobbing. I go out in the woods even

1036
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:39.079
behind my house. You know, I wondered, hey, you know

1037
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:44.360
there's something out there, you know, and uh, you never know.

1038
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.559
One evening, Uh, this is about a year ago. My wife,

1039
00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:52.239
you know, she's she believes my in Countess, he just

1040
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:56.760
doesn't believe these things are everwhere. But I was hunting.

1041
00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:59.280
I was out there hunting, and my stands about you

1042
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:01.360
about it quarter a mile behind my house, out in

1043
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:06.000
the woods and across the creek, and my wife. When

1044
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.159
I came back in, I heard something. I heard a

1045
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:12.880
going you know, through the woods and kind between me

1046
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.960
and the house. And I don't know what that was.

1047
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:18.559
I didn't see anything, but I just heard it. So

1048
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:21.679
I came back from hunting and I sitting down putting,

1049
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:24.719
well it's done up, and she came to me says, hey,

1050
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:28.440
I heard this looking sound behind the house. And I said,

1051
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:29.920
you heard it, and I said, he goes yeah, I

1052
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.280
said I heard it when I was on the stand.

1053
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:34.079
So you know, she was scared and everything. So I

1054
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:36.000
had to go out there for turpis and turned dark

1055
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:38.239
and I went out to the flashlight looking. I didn't

1056
00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:40.639
find any tracks or anything. You know, I don't know

1057
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:44.159
what it was. It wasn't no hoodal. I know that

1058
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:47.079
I don't know what that was because there ain't a

1059
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:49.719
whole lot of things that looked like that in the woods.

1060
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:53.639
But so I'm not saying it was a big foot.

1061
00:57:53.679 --> 00:57:55.639
I don't know. I didn't see it, she didn't see it.

1062
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:56.760
We just heard it.

1063
00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:59.039
But it makes you sure.

1064
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:03.360
Oh it opens your eyes, you know, and like I say, uh,

1065
00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:05.639
you know, it opens your eyes and makes you think.

1066
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:08.119
And I worked with several officers that that you know,

1067
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:11.239
have seen these creatures, and you know they don't want

1068
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:13.239
to talk about it, but you know they vincent it

1069
00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:15.960
to us, and you know, me and the partner, and

1070
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:21.320
that's it, you know. And so me, I'm retired already.

1071
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:25.599
I'm old. I'm retired. I'm not worried about it. I don't.

1072
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:28.559
I don't you know care people think I don't care

1073
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:29.280
about that, you know.

1074
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:33.400
So, Steve, I have I have one more question for you,

1075
00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:35.559
and thank you so much for for hanging out.

1076
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:35.960
Uh.

1077
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:40.000
So, you mentioned in your original story that the bigfoot

1078
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:46.920
there never went inside the house. Over your years through

1079
00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:50.280
law enforcement and just living in certain areas, have you

1080
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:53.440
ever heard any stories of bigfoot actually going in the

1081
00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:54.679
houses of people.

1082
00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:58.719
I never have. I never heard of one going ahod

1083
00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:00.519
and im breaking one's house.

1084
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.320
Gotch cool? I mean, you never know. Sometimes those stories

1085
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.280
get hidden and you just kind of ask some people

1086
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.079
to see if they come out. But uh, man, Steve,

1087
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:13.920
it has been just such a fun time chatting with you.

1088
00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:14.599
Uh.

1089
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:18.039
People can reach out to you, definitely, I'll put the

1090
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:21.679
email in the description. Uh if you want to talk

1091
00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:23.960
to a person that is, you know, down from your

1092
00:59:24.039 --> 00:59:26.800
area and knows the kind of places you're living in.

1093
00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:30.239
But definitely, also, people feel free you can always reach

1094
00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:32.639
out to me Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com to

1095
00:59:32.719 --> 00:59:37.239
share what you've encountered. But Steve has been a privilege

1096
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:39.800
And anything else that you would like to say in

1097
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:40.960
closing thoughts.

1098
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:45.679
Well, you know I think that Uh, people, you know,

1099
00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:49.840
keep an open mind. In our world, we're taught in

1100
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:54.079
public school that if you can't see it, it's not real.

1101
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:58.440
You know that certain things exist and certain things don't exist.

1102
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:01.079
I think that think the best thing to tell people

1103
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:03.039
is is this. Go ahead and go buy what your

1104
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:05.760
good feeling is and what you see, because I'm going

1105
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:07.880
to tell you right now it is you personally see it.

1106
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.800
That's good, change your life forever, like it did mine

1107
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.559
and several other people who see these things. So I

1108
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.119
just tell people all the time. You know, they ask me, well, hell,

1109
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:17.880
I want to see one. I want to see one

1110
01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:20.440
when you don't want to see one, when you're going

1111
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:25.559
to see one. Yeah, that's how they pop out. And

1112
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:27.880
I can I can prove that because you're a deer hunter.

1113
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:30.280
When you see a deer when you're looking for him

1114
01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:32.599
or when you're not looking for him, that's when he

1115
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:34.519
pops out animals that way.

1116
01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:38.760
Yes, Oh I love it. Wow, good stuff, man, Steve.

1117
01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:42.440
Thank you so much for coming on. Please keep in

Society at gmail dot com. A special thank you to

1136
01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:43.440
all the Bigfoot Society Patreon and YouTube channel members. It's

1137
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:46.199
your support that helps keep the show going and I

1138
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:50.039
extremely appreciate it. If you want to join in the fun,

1139
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:53.400
you can join over at patreon dot com forward slash

1140
01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:58.440
the Bigfoot Society. I'll see you there, and again, thanks

1141
01:01:58.480 --> 01:01:58.960
for listening.

1142
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:47.760
Her and I can get on here. We can tell

1143
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:50.320
our stories. Maybe there's somebody else out there.

1144
01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:53.599
Listening that's too afraid to tell their story. Maybe this

1145
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:56.280
will give them the courage to come out. And I

1146
01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.679
feel so bad about it. Who cares what anybody thinks.

1147
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:02.079
I know what I saw, I know what's out there.

1148
01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:03.960
That's all I care about.

1149
01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:23.880
Please let people know, Please let them know. If you

1150
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:26.960
ever see one of these things, you need to tell

1151
01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:30.320
because if you don't, then shame on you. You know,

1152
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:31.760
shame on you.
