Season 1

What happens when you spot not just one Sasquatch—but two—climbing a muddy hillside in a thunderstorm, right in front of your truck? In this unforgettable episode, we meet a witness who recalls seeing a motherly Sasquatch with a smaller one by her side near Twin Bridges, Missouri. Lightning cracked through the Ozarks as the two figures disappeared into the woods, leaving behind only awe and questions. But that's just one of the encounters shared here.

You'll also hear from Melissa in Southwest Virginia, who saw a Sasquatch tap on her second-story window; an outdoorsman in Texas who watched a creature ambush a deer; and a camper in Yosemite’s Tioga Pass who felt drawn back by something he couldn’t explain and MANY MORE ACCOUNTS! These stories span from the forests of Oregon and Appalachia to the riverbanks of Texas—and each one carries the same chilling thread: they saw something. And it saw them back.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.399
So stay with us. Hey, Melissa, how are you.

11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:33.520
I'm good.

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.719
How are you doing great? So have you had a

13
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:38.759
bigfoot experience?

14
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:39.840
Yes?

15
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.079
When I was young, I did.

16
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:43.000
Are you over eighteen?

17
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:44.840
Yes, I'm forty five.

18
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.320
Okay, sorry. You have a very youthful voice, which is great.

19
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.640
Yeah.

20
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.320
Is that something you could share tonight?

21
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.840
Yeah, for sure. I actually listened to your podcast a lot,

22
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.679
so when I saw you on live, I was like, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah.

23
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.079
So I come from Eastern ban Cherokee of North Carolina.

24
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.719
My grandma casts him to a sakadu or hairy man.

25
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.280
I grew up in the Appalachia Mountain of southwest Virginia.

26
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.239
I don't know if you've ever heard of that area.

27
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.879
It's like near East Tennessee, eastern.

28
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.000
Kentucky that area.

29
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.920
So I grew up in a really very denced area

30
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.439
of the mountains. My grandmother used to tell us when

31
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.439
we were younger, we have to close the shes at

32
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.200
night because the hairy man would look through the windows.

33
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.319
And this one particular night, my cousin and I forgot

34
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.200
to close the shades. We were on the second floor.

35
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.000
We spent the night with her on the weekends because

36
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.400
I lived in about an hour away, closer to the

37
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:56.640
Tennessee warder and she lived closer to the eastern Kentucky border. Anyways, sorry,

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.400
it's my first time telling this ever to anybody outside.

39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.359
Oh wow with a bank So.

40
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.200
No, it's no problem. I tell people like friends, but

41
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:12.039
not anybody else. But anyways, I was asleep it was

42
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.080
probably like two thirties in the morning, and I woke

43
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.319
up to something tapping on the window and I was like, okay,

44
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.919
So I look out and I see a big black silhouette,

45
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.080
which is little eyes.

46
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.039
The eyes were like kind of like a hazel color.

47
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.680
I can see the eyes, but just a big black

48
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.879
silhouette because it like blocked out the light of the

49
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.719
of the window. And I obowed my cousin. Her name

50
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.639
was Chamberlaine. I elbowed her, told her like, hey, do

51
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.599
you see that? And she starts screaming like instantly, because

52
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.680
she was probably eleven, I was probably more like a

53
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.560
fifteen around fifteen sixteen. She's screaming, what is that?

54
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:54.159
What is that?

55
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.759
But when I noticed it, it like tapped on the window,

56
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.400
but kind of like pointed his finger for me to

57
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.120
come outside, which was kind of creepy. So I instantly

58
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.919
elbowed her. Of course, I was closest to the window,

59
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.960
My grandma was closest to the wall, and then my

60
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.319
cousin was in the middle. Everybody jumped up.

61
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:13.800
My uncle got out of the bed.

62
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.120
He went outside, and there was nothing there. It disappeared

63
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.319
like it like vanished. It was too it was too

64
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.919
big to be a human, because it would have had

65
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.000
to be at least seven eight foot tall to even

66
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.960
hit that window. I told my grandma what it looked like.

67
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.199
She told me that we should have shut the shades

68
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.080
because I think she was asleep before we got there

69
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.840
because he's been a long time, of course before she

70
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.919
we got in the bed before after her, and she

71
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.759
just said it was probably the hairy Man.

72
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.680
Well, my great uncle.

73
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.439
Lived deeper in the woods, and he told me the

74
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.879
hairy man would come out at nighttime all the time

75
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:01.960
picking their windows. Also, he had like cattle, and they

76
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.719
would steal the calves when the cattle would have the

77
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.960
babies or whatever. But he lived deep in the mountains.

78
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.919
But he called him the hairy man too. But my

79
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.519
grandma had another name, like I said, Toussacado. But yeah,

80
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.959
I saw it when I was probably like fifteen sixteen,

81
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.560
and since then, I mean, I've believed I've been told

82
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.319
stories as a child, the little people, the hairy Man,

83
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.399
the rotten u we call something called the spear finger.

84
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:31.759
I don't know if you've ever heard of any of

85
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.079
these folklore, yep, but I grew up on that kind

86
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.560
of folklore. I wasn't the person who was I saw

87
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.199
this and it changed my life because it's not supposed

88
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.920
to be there. I was the person who'd been told

89
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.040
this since I was little, that these things were real.

90
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.360
Not to listen to your name being called, not to

91
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.759
whistle after dark, close your windows, she so it wasn't

92
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.439
like a surprise. But there've been a lot of things

93
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.720
my grandma had seen in that area, not just Bigfoot,

94
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.519
other things like gnomes. She would tell me about little

95
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.439
people all the time.

96
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:08.600
Gnomes.

97
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.839
Uh, she talked about the wumpus catalot, things like that. Yeah,

98
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.759
but I was very young, and I've been a big

99
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.040
foot believer of course since i was little. But seeing

100
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.600
that it was just too big. And someone posted a

101
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.160
video online, not probably a couple months ago. I seen

102
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.360
it and it was exactly what I had seen, exactly

103
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.319
the same style like.

104
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.759
It's just it was so black.

105
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.120
That you couldn't tell it was anything. All I could

106
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.959
see was a silhouette of something big, and I could

107
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.600
see the finger like a human finger. It was a humanoid,

108
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.000
it was it was different.

109
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:54.279
I think that is so.

110
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.560
That is that is creepy beyond belief. Do you remember

111
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.879
looking outside the next day to see if there is

112
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.439
anything weird you could see in the daylight, like tracks

113
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.439
or anything like that.

114
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:06.480
I guess I was too.

115
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.920
Young to think about that, you know what I mean.

116
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.720
And then my uncle he just jumped up out of

117
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.399
the bed and literally in his underwear right outside. He's

118
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.319
like there's nothing out there. My grandma, my cousin, she

119
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.680
remembers to the stage. She don't I don't really talk

120
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.560
to her that much anymore, but she remembered it last

121
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.000
time I talked to her about it, because she was

122
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.639
really young. It scared her to where she screamed, like

123
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.920
I was trying to keep it low key, like, don't scream,

124
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.920
let's kind of see what's doing kind of thing. But

125
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.680
I was also told stories of when we were young

126
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.360
that they love, they like children and women, and they

127
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.399
like to lure kids out. And that's why you don't

128
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.160
listen to your name being called or whistling or baby cries,

129
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.560
because they like to lure you out. And I don't

130
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.439
know if they have a factuation with women or children,

131
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.079
but I do know that there's a story about a

132
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.399
Cherokee girl who married a bigfoot.

133
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:57.439
Really I've never heard that one.

134
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.800
Yeah, so she was I don't know if she was.

135
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.279
She wasn't stolen, she was, she married one, but my

136
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.560
grandma said they were still women and children, So I

137
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.720
don't know if that was our lord to come outside.

138
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.839
It was kind of creepy a little bit, and I

139
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.079
wasn't scared. I just tried to get someone else's attention

140
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.639
so they could see what was going.

141
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.000
On too, you know what I mean.

142
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.519
So, but my grandma didn't see it, not that she

143
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.560
didn't believe, she just didn't see it. It was just

144
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.360
me and my cousin.

145
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.920
Like, inness you you really grew up in the thick

146
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.839
of it down there. Thank you for sharing what you've experienced.

147
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.879
That's exciting. I mean, I'm glad I could share with

148
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.000
someone who was like outside of my friend group, who

149
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.959

160
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.160
And I don't care to tell you my story because

161
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.360
I want somebody to know that they're real, they're not

162
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.720
it's not something people make up. Too many people that

163
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.439
say these things too much folklore in my tribe, there's.

164
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.399
Just no way, you know.

165
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.000
Absolutely well, Melissa, thank you so much for coming up.

166
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.879
I do appreciate it. Hi there, how are you?

167
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:37.799
Hi?

168
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.720
Am good? Yeah? Well, my story is.

169
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.480
Like, it's kind of a I don't know if it

170
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.720
was a bigfoot because I couldn't really see that it was,

171
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.320
but it was definitely a huge shattle thing, and it

172
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.600
creeped me out. It was like, right, yeah, so I

173
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:07.360
passed the Tioga Pass and Yosemite rate and so I'm

174
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.200
pretty sure that it was a bigfoot, I want.

175
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.080
To say, but I am not one hundred percent sure

176
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.840
because it like.

177
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.480
So I spent like a day in the forest, you know,

178
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.879
when it became night and I was camping and my cats.

179
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.360
I had two cats, and they wanted to go pee,

180
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.320
and all of a sudden, my cats freak out. They

181
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.039
don't make a sound. So that freaked me out. So

182
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.600
I go in, like, you know, I go and check

183
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.080
on them, and uh, all of a sudden, I also

184
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.000
see what they were looking at and they were frozen

185
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:49.080
like cats, you know. So what I saw was like

186
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.919
a big black shadow like it just was huge. But

187
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.279
I couldn't see eyes or anything. But I froze, was

188
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.159
you know, That's all I could remember. But the thing

189
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:06.000
was huge. It was like I don't know.

190
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.039
Ten feet wow, ten feet tall.

191
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.440
Yes, And I didn't know what to do.

192
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.720
So I started calling my cats and I it's almost

193
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.000
like you're frozen, you know. But I don't know if

194
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.159
it was because I was so scared it was doing

195
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.000
something to me. I really don't know. It was like

196
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.879
I just couldn't It was like I was paralyzed. I

197
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.720
don't know if that makes any sense, but I don't

198
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.200
know if it was.

199
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.360
No.

200
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:34.200
Absolutely, I've been through that myself, where I wasn't able

201
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.240
to move for about five minutes in an area. So

202
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.840
did it eventually leave on its own then or what happened?

203
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.600
I think I honestly, I think I I am froze

204
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.399
after like the five minutes or so, and then all

205
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.600
of a sudden, all I could just remember is like

206
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.799
grabbing my cats and I put them in the car

207
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:55.480
as fast as I could, and I just took off.

208
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.120
So I drove away. That's how I got.

209
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.759
I thought it was following me because I but you know,

210
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.639
you just it's almost like this thing if it's a

211
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.200
big food, it's almost like they know.

212
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.519
It's like they talk to you telepathically. I don't know

213
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.679
if that makes any sense, No.

214
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.799
It absolutely does. What is it that makes you think.

215
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.120
That, though?

216
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.080
Because I just felt that, like I felt like it

217
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.639
followed me throughout, Like even when I was far away

218
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.519
and I was able to go into like a little

219
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.759
town and I got away from the forest, it was like.

220
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.200
I could still feel it, like trying to call me back.

221
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.799
It's weird. I don't know how to explain it.

222
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:43.240
It is not weird at all, because I've talked to

223
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.639
so many people and I've experienced this myself, where you're

224
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.600
in an area, you have interaction and then all usually

225
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.279
they say their dreams get very intense and they are

226
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.159
they feel like they're getting drawn back to the area

227
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.759
for months and months afterwards. Yeah, it's a very very

228
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:02.360
common thing.

229
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:07.200
It's weird because I feel sometimes like whatever it is

230
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.519
is trying to call me, Like, you know, it's weird,

231
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.519
but I am scared, you know. After that experience, I

232
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.559
kind of I got freaked out and I don't go

233
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.159
alone per se to the forest anymore.

234
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:24.600
It's it's very interesting.

235
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.120
I have not had.

236
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.080
I've not had any witness I've talked to where they've

237
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:37.519
had that experience in addition to having the encounters, so

238
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.200
your yours is pretty unique. I'm sure that that's also

239
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.200
happened before. I just haven't talked to those witnesses yet.

240
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.200
But would you be all right if I if I

241
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.360
use the audio from our conversation in a big foot

242
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:52.960
podcast that.

243
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.639
I have, Yeah, that's fine, but if if you know

244
00:12:59.120 --> 00:12:59.960
you won't use my name?

245
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:01.360
No?

246
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.159
Absolutely not?

247
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.840
Okay, great? Then yeah, absolutely perfect.

248
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.600
Well, thank you for coming up. I appreciate you sharing about.

249
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.000
That's an area I have never had anyone share about.

250
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:11.960
What was the year on that?

251
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:12.320
Again?

252
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.080
I how am I encounter in twenty twenty three? So yeah, okay,

253
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.159
and then my grandma passed away like the next year

254
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.799
in April, which was really weird.

255
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.720
But yeah.

256
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:28.960
Wow.

257
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.240
Well, thank you for sharing and for coming up. I

258
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.159
appreciate you coming up and keep us in the loop

259
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.759
if you ever experienced anything else out there?

260
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.000
Okay, thanks Tom?

261
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.000
How are you I see your comment year from out

262
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.759
there in the Pine?

263
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.279
Or yeah?

264
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.320
Yeah, really good to talk to you. I've been following

265
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:50.639
your show for quite a while.

266
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:50.960
Now.

267
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.000
And you know, I had lived in an Oregon my

268
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.559
whole life, but I've been here about twelve years in

269
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.440
La Pine, Oregon. I'm a contractor and I have multiple

270
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.159
friends that I've talked do that have had experiences, but

271
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.600
I had one even. I live out in Ponderosa Pines

272
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.919
outside La Pine, which is just real close to the

273
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.360
upper to Shoots River where it comes out of Wikiap Reservoir.

274
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.000
And there was one night I was talking with my

275
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.759
mom on the phone on my back porch, and our

276
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.559
back porch was blm land, you know, as far as

277
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.720
you could go all the way to Walldo Lake, you know.

278
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.000
And I was talking with her on the phone that

279
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.600
night and I was looking out there and all of

280
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:38.039
a sudden, I see these big red, glowy eyes and

281
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:43.399
it flipped me out. I told my mom, I go, Mom,

282
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.399
I can't believe it. I'm looking out there in the

283
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.360
forest right now. I see these big glowy eyes and

284
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.240
they were way up high, like pretty tall. So I

285
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.399
was like, I need to get my labbador out here.

286
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.480
You know, he was in the house. I'm just out

287
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.600
in the backyard, you know. So I got my labbador

288
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.919
out there, but the time that I took to get

289
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.919
him out there. By the time I got him out

290
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.600
there and called him out, those eyes were gone wow.

291
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:12.000
And I'll tell you what after the other stories that

292
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.279
I have from a few other friends that I know

293
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:20.320
around here, like, for instance, I know a blacksmith here

294
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.039
in town that him and his wife they had their

295
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.519
horses up at Elk Lake, you know where they you

296
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.120
know that area up there where you can have your

297
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.159
horses and stuff and park your trailer and all that stuff.

298
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.360
They were up there and it was a real slow weekend,

299
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.480
like they were the only campers up there. And what

300
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.559
he said was is in the middle of the night

301
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:47.399
they had an experience where their horses started freaking out.

302
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.039
So Connie went out there to check on the horses,

303
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.440
and she got him calmed down and everything, and then

304
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.600
came back inside and like her husband said, you know,

305
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.399
she came back to bed. They didn't even lock the

306
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.120
door on the trail on their fifth wheel and about

307
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.879
fifteen minutes later they hear their trailer just goes bam,

308
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:15.399
bam bam. Something slammed on the side of their fifth

309
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.000
wheel way up high at the very top corner and

310
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:23.799
it dentted it in and they were freaked out. They

311
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.759
didn't know what to think. But he right away was like,

312
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.320
because he already believed in sasquatch, he was thinking, you

313
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.200
gotta be kidding me. This could be a sasquatch doing this.

314
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.679
And so the whole night they were freaked out hiding

315
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.240
out in there, that they heard footprints all around their

316
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:43.639
whole fifth wheel. And I guess when they got up

317
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:48.120
the next morning, it finally calmed down enough where they

318
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.960
left and they went to bed, and when they got

319
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.879
up the next morning, they found three different size footprints

320
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.000
of bigfoots all around their fifth wheel, and they actually

321
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.519
took pictures of them, and they drove all the way

322
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:06.920
home here in the pine and bought some uh some

323
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.680
plaster to make cast. Now I got a chance to

324
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.240
actually look at their photos before they cast them, and

325
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.599
look at the bottom of their actual cast, and they

326
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.759
lined up perfect, okay, And it didn't look fishy to

327
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.079
me at all. I was I was compelled by it

328
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.880

Dude.

340
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.519
Have you ever had anything happen over bydel Lake?

341
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.759
You know Odell? You know, I hear I watch a

342
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.119
lot of stuff happening in the Oak Ridge Odell, in

343
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:27.640
the area of Waldo Lake, you know. But as far

344
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.920
as the people I know around here, I have another cup.

345
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.960
One old couple. I won't tell your name, but she

346
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.079
died a couple of years ago, but I did a

347
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.119
bunch of work for her, and she told me, she goes,

348
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.880
we've lived your our whole lives. And we were at

349
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:46.519
the backside of Wikia back in the eighties driving our

350
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:51.480
jeep close to dark and they saw she said, they

351
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.279
didn't tell anybody for years, but she told me and Jim,

352
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.480
she goes, we saw a bigfoot run right out in

353
00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:59.759
front of us all the week with like two hawks

354
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.519
hopped across the road road in front of him on

355
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.880
the back side of Wiki at Reservoir. So you never know,

356
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.119
I mean, you know, I have another guy that two

357
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.160
years ago was walking his dog in State Wrecked Park

358
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.400
right here in the pine and it was late. It

359
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.960
was late, you know, late in the winter, kind of

360
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.640
coming into spring where there was still a good foot

361
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:26.039
of snow on the ground or soap. And he saw

362
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.960
tracks that he could not believe. And he took pictures

363
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.640
and showed him to me where he saw like three

364
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.279
to four, like between three and four foot strides with

365
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.640
huge footprints where you could see where his toes peeled

366
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.240
up and then it froze and left the lines of

367
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.640
where it froze. It must have been a real cold day.

368
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.480
And so he called the game warden and he called, uh,

369
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.200
let see, had two people out there, the game warden

370
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.880
and fishing game. He got out there and they were

371
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.759
going away. They didn't want to say much, but he could.

372
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.839
He told me, he goes. They were like, we're gonna

373
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.200
follow these tracks and see if we can figure this out.

374
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:08.200
Wow.

375
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.279
Really, they're all.

376
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.720
Around these casgage, I'll tell you what. They're all around

377
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.240
these cascades. I really believe that now.

378
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.119
Oh, I'll tell you one hundred percent. Dudes like this.

379
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.920
Last time in July, I went up north of Oak Ridge.

380
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:29.599
I drove through Lieberg and McKinsey Bridge and a crossover

381
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.480
to Sisters. Dude, once you get up there, man, it's

382
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.440
like there's no one's gonna save you. You're on your own, dude,

383
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:37.880
it's crazy.

384
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.240
Oh you get up above Sisters up in there, you know,

385
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.559
around Clear Lake and all those areas up there. I

386
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.680
mean there is that's such secluded forest up there.

387
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:48.839
Absolutely that.

388
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.599
I mean, if there are big poots there there, you know,

389
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.759
I believe that. I definitely do.

390
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.039
One hundred percent. There's so many places in Oregon I

391
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.480
want to get you that it's it's it's hard to

392
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.880
get any anywhere else.

393
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.960
And I'm almost done cooking right now. I probably should

394
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.440
let you go, buddy.

395
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:12.839
Absolutely, talk you mind if you buddy? Can I use

396
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.960

397
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:15.119

398
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:15.559
Oh?

399
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.359
Yeah, all right, permission?

400
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:19.640

403
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.319
You can tell he's a good guy.

404
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.640
Hey man, how you doing good?

405
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.440
How are you doing, sir?

406
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.359
I'm doing well. Hey.

407
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:49.240
I got a little story for you, Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Hey,

408
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.480
I live in East Texas in the Davy Crockett National Force. Sure,

409
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:59.160
a couple of years ago, I was hunting and I

410
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.400
was home, and I had a dough walk up on

411
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.920
me and everything. And she was eating corn and stuff

412
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.039
like that, and all of a sudden her head perked up.

413
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.279
She was looking around, and all of a sudden she jetted.

414
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:18.640
And when she jetted, there was something about eight foot

415
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:24.119
tall that jumped her and everything. I mean, I don't

416
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.359
know if you got her or whatever, but he was

417
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:36.240
about eight foot tall. He was brownish gray. I don't

418
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.359
know what I saw, but I know what I saw

419
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:46.000
wasn't natural. And if you keep up with the Davy

420
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.000
Crockett National Forest, that's where a lot of the Gulf

421
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:56.480
Coast bigfoot research people come out, yep. And man, what

422
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.319
I saw.

423
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:58.039
Was a bigfoot.

424
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.880
Oh oh my goodness.

425
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:03.640
I don't I don't have a whole bunch to say

426
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.640
about it, but I just want to say, man, it's

427
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.839
something that that gave me the chills.

428
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.400
And he was about eight foot tall.

429
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.400
Couldn't see his face, he was just brownish gray, and

430
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.839
he was in the Davy Crockett National Forest.

431
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.319
Sure, I'll tell you you're not the first I've heard that

432
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:24.039
have had things happen in that forest for sure? Uh,

433
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.279
in that area, East Texas is a wild area. Have

434
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:31.039
you heard anything over by Boak and Springs and Angelina

435
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:31.880
National Forest?

436
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.319
What National Forest?

437
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.200
Angelina by Zabala?

438
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:43.680
Yeah that's yeah, Angelina National Forest, Davy Crockett National Forest.

439
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.279
Everything.

440
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.079
I know there's a lot of stuff going on around Livingston,

441
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:54.359
Texas and everything, but uh, yeah, I wasn't sticking around,

442
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.799
you know, he was on that doze, but like like,

443
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:07.680
I mean, he was owner like quick and yeah, man,

444
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.000
I love what you're doing and everything, but we do

445
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.559
have these things around here and people need to be careful.

446
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.920
Oh yes, sir, absolutely, yep. Absolutely. Hey, you know, do

447
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.799
you mind if I use the audio from this conversation

448
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:25.480
in the Bigfoot podcast?

449
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.680
I have absolutely?

450
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.519
Man, all right, all right, well thank you for coming up.

451
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.160
Are you a hunter yourself? Do you go out looking

452
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:35.559
for them?

453
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:42.119
So I'll tell you it's an interesting thing because it

454
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:46.960
started out talking to people, and uh, it's very engaging,

455
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.400
and it has gotten to the point where I've gone

456
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.119
out in places in Oregon and I go out to

457
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.519
places in Iowa where I'm from, and the line kind

458
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.319
of becomes blurry right between. I would see journalist and

459
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:04.599
researcher at times.

460
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:09.119
Right, well, man, you need to come to East Texas

461
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.279
and check it out and everything around deer seas and everything.

462
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:17.160
So uh yeah, a man, Hey, we're full of them.

463
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.039
I have a neighbor that lives out in the Brass

464
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:24.640
River bottom and everything, and she has been run out

465
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:31.400
of her house by one that just she it's run

466
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:36.880
her out of her house. I mean it beats on

467
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.359
the it beats on the side of her house and everything.

468
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.119
And this lays about eighty years old.

469
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:43.359
Oh my goodness, that's gonna stop.

470
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.920
Yeah. I mean.

471
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:50.279
I have some people around here that kind of bait

472
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.039
them a little bit with apples and oranges and stuff

473
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.720
like that and everything. But I don't know of anything

474
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.480
in the Davy Crockett National Forest where they're doing that.

475
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.720
But that day changed my life. These things are real.

476
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.920
They're out there.

477
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.720
I would love to talk to that lady. She needs help.

478
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.359
I might be able to get her some help.

479
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.720
Hey, that would be awesome, man. Yeah, because we're right

480
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.799
here on the Trinity River. Well, I'm about fifteen miles

481
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:25.680
from them, but she lives in the bottom of the

482
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:28.559
river and everything, and this thing has scared her to do.

483
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:39.480
My email's big Foot Society at gmail dot com. I

484
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.319

Uh and where you're at? You're in hour yep Iowa.

00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.559
An easy thing she could do is start putting up

493
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:28.400
a few game cams around her house.

494
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:31.799
No, let's already run her out of herrow.

495
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.519
Oh she won't go back.

496
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.799
No, she ain't going back.

How are you defeeling doing well? What brings you up today?

517
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.960
Well? I just thought I want to share a couple

518
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:49.119
of accounts I been seen between Texas and Washington State.

519
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.839
Okay, well, I don't know you like which state you

520
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:58.519
want to hear first, I'll let you choose.

521
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.000
Well, I'll b by Texas. I was I was twenty

522
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.599
five at the time, and I had to get to

523
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.759
work one morning and I was waiting at but stuff.

524
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:14.359
It was like five am and it was still dark

525
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.480
and everything. As I was waiting for the bus. You know,

526
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.039
it is only it's like an outskirts of town. And

527
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.039
I heard this tree knock because it across me there

528
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.759
was you know a bunch of forests and stuff like that. Yes,

529
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.200
I had for this, but I trailed their homes and

530
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.759
other stuff people people live in. So anyways, I heard

531
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.440
the tree knocks and I ignored it at first. And

532
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:46.839
as time went on, like thirty or forty five minutes later,

533
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.680
big uh. I'm not saying a big giant boulder, but

534
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:55.440
it was a good sized rock. It was thrown like

535
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:03.079
at me, but barredy missed me, and so I went.

536
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.759
I walked towards where the rock was thrown from, and

537
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.279
I asked, and I shout, and I said, anyone there

538
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:13.880
her tree knock again. And then at the same time,

539
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.279
another rock was doing at me. This time I had

540
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:21.680
to move. It was going towards me, so I decided

541
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.839
to do I got the same, well not not exactly

542
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.400
the same rock, but another good sized rock. I decided

543
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.960
to throw the rock back at it, and I'm sure

544
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:36.960
I hit it, and it really pissed this thing off.

545
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.799
And they are a good grunt and I moved towards it.

546
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:47.680
As I was moving towards it, I see the yellow

547
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:54.480
beam eyes and reddish hair. It was around seven to

548
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:57.720
eight feet tall. And when I saw this thing, I

549
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.000
grabbed another rock and a stick. I just starts doing shit,

550
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.880
and it just it took off.

551
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.200
And.

552
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.079
I believe I was being challenged. I was challenging a

553
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:17.880
sasquash because it went so fast it could scoot and

554
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.359
one and the other time I was in Washington state.

555
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.960
Before you start Washington, what part of Texas was this in?

556
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:29.160
Do you mind sharing that.

557
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:30.720
It was in the outskirts of San Antonio?

558
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:32.359
Oh?

559
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.039
Really, wow?

560
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.440
It was between. It was between the outskirts between it's

561
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:43.440
going out between the I forgot what interstate, but I

562
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.519
used to live in the little town between Elmador, Texas

563
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.640
and Santorini, Texas. I live in the outskirts of town

564
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.519
of the south side of San Antonio, and you know

565
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.200
I used to live right there, and that's when my

566
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:58.160
first encounter happened. Like I said, I was only twenty

567
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:03.440
five at the time, I was young. So if you

568
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:05.519
and if I may, I could start my watching a

569
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.000
state one.

570
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.160
If you don't mind, go right ahead, go right ahead.

571
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:15.799
This has happened in twenty thirteen. My daughter was like

572
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:21.519
one at a time, and we went camping and her

573
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:29.759
and her mother were cooking, and her mom came up

574
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.319
to me. She goes, she goes, bab, I'm like, what

575
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.359
she goes, there's a gofill smell, like a stench. I

576
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.480
was like, I smelled too, So I decided went over

577
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:47.640
there hellone again, like I always do. This time I

578
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.680
heard instead of throwing rocks at me, I was just

579
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:54.400
getting another tree knock. So I got a stick. I

580
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.119
decided to do a tree knock again, and I'm like,

581
00:32:56.160 --> 00:33:00.240
oh boy, I told myself round two. I told myself,

582
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.519
I hope that's not the same one. I mean at

583
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:06.000
this time, I ain't took a good look at this one,

584
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:12.440
but I did the most loudest tree knocks and it

585
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.720
kept knocking. And once at these tree knocks, it got

586
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.920
closer and closer, it sounded like I was surrounded, like

587
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:23.839
it was all around me this time. So this time,

588
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.880
I well, I don't know. I'm pretty sure I pissed

589
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.200
him off, though, well because I'm the type of guy

590
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.880
who stands his ground, so I had to pee really value.

591
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:40.279
So I pissed by a tree. And the dumbest thing,

592
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.799
the funniest thing, though, I was tree knock at the

593
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.680
same time I was. I was peen, and my wife

594
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.680
came up to me. She goes, what on earth are

595
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.240
you doing? And I said, beb whatever's out in these woods.

596
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.880
I'm telling it to stay at stay out of my hair,

597
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.559
so as I'm marking it. And she thought it was crazy.

598
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:05.440
And later on that night we were sleeping again, we

599
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.599
heard all a bunch of tree knocks like they were pissed,

600
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:13.679
not just I, I guess I pissed in the tree.

601
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.199
It got to a point that we had to get

602
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.480
out of there because it was just like too much,

603
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:20.760
and I really pissed them off. I suppose.

604
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:27.639
Literally and figuratively. What part of Washington was this?

605
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:27.920
Then?

606
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:42.960
It was like it was in the outskirts of Shacklepy Scape. Yeah, Shock,

607
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:51.639
I mean not Shackapy. Oh, I remember the name. What

608
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:52.000
was it?

609
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:52.320
No?

610
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.360
I was sorry, it wasn't Shock, it was it was

611
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.719
the outside the coma. And that's when I decided, I

612
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:04.840
mean myself as an independent paranormal investigator. But I'm just

613
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:06.840
doing out in the Midwest right now. So I'm out

614
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:11.239
of the Midwest and I'm doing my own investigation and

615
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.239
I just did just gotten doing a ghost hunting one

616
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.960
in a small town called Elberty, Minnesota. It was a

617
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:27.360
hot theater and this place used to be a hospital

618
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.239
for the Spanish flu back in the nineteen twenties and

619
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.559
the twenty six years. One died there of complication of

620
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.599
the flu. And this most activity happened in the basement,

621
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.039
so I recorded some sounds and stuff and not much

622
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.880
but just the life flickering. But all I got was

623
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:49.559
culture and I know something was there. And I don't

624
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:51.559
think that Labe was going to do harm. She just

625
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:58.159
didn't want to leave. And the person came up to

626
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.760
me the other day wants me to do an investigation,

627
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:06.360
to go to Wisconsin do investigation the beef and great Road.

628
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:08.239
So that's my next assignment.

629
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:10.840
Well that's great. Yeah, that'd be a fun one man

630
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.000
that that gets so wild up there.

631
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:18.800
So but yeah, I decided to call myself the Midwest

632
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:23.280
Monster Hunter. I love it. I love it, dude, because

633
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:27.239
you know, yeah, like if they're going to groove, I

634
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:28.239
do so low.

635
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:33.559
Gotcha, Well, dude, keep us, keep us in the loop

636
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:38.159
with what happens next for you. But you know, right,

637
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:42.239
if I use this conversation audio and my big SI podcast.

638
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.199
Please most certainly get get my story out there and

639
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:50.159
I could become known. And I just followed you, and

640
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.840
you know, like I said, though, there's always something out

641
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.840
there bumping in the night, and we are now alone

642
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:59.519
in this whole planet. That's one thing that's one's for

643
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:00.000
sure though.

644
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:05.320
Well, absolutely I agree with that. Welldge, Joseph, thank you

Sir?

656
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.480
H Well, I just wanted to share my story. I'm

657
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:26.719
from eastern Kentucky, Okay. Last year, we was out riding

658
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.480
cyb asides and uh we come off a reclaimed strip

659
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.159
job down into a deep hollor we call it dark collar.

660
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:38.840
And my friend and his wife was in front of

661
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.639
me and they have a little bit bigger of a

662
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.280
cyb a side set up a little bit better, and

663
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.360
they went through this mud hole and I had my

664
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.440
two boys with me, so I kind of took a

665
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.840
different way and I got I got held up. I

666
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:56.519
had to move some a little bit of brush to

667
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:59.400
get through the creek, and they was on ahead of me.

668
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.239
And when I was moving the brush, they come speeding

669
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.599
back and Uh, my buddy, Chris, he jumps out. He says, man,

670
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.119
we gotta get out of here. And I said, what's

671
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:08.480
going on?

672
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:08.880
Dude?

673
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.119
He said, something is hollering on both sides of the

674
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:14.039
hills and down there. He said, I don't know what

675
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.360
he is. And I'm thinking maybe it's just some kind

676
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:19.599
of owl or something, or it's just somebody messing with him.

677
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.519
And so we get the brush cleared and I jump

678
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.440
on him my side a side and I get up

679
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:28.440
on earth creek and I kind of pass him up

680
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:34.800
and I just watch watch behind me there, you know,

681
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.199
to see where you know, he was stopped at. And

682
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.840
he told me to stop, and we shut off the

683
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:44.360
side of sides there and I stepped out and uh,

684
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.599
we was on on down the creek there, and uh,

685
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.880
something gets thrown about kim foot from their side to side,

686
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.480
and it's just like a stick or something. And I

687
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.239
pull out my glock and I shot two shots took

688
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.320
there and I kind of went about walked about ten

689
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.880
feet up on the bank and a rock goes whizzing

690
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:10.280
right by the side of my head. I mean it,

691
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.480
they this thing through it so hard, man, you could

692
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.880
hear it like wiz by my ear. And just as

693
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:19.880
soon as it did, man, it led out a big,

694
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.159
big howl, like a screeching howl.

695
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:22.519
Man.

696
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.800
And I knew write them what it was, you know,

697
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.159
because I was kind of a skeptic or whatever. And

698
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:31.639
I've heard stories, but I wasn't going to stick around.

699
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:31.800
You know.

700
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:33.760
I had my boys in the side beside and they

701
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.840
was already spooked and we got out there, dude, And

702
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:39.159
that was my experience.

703
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.119
It's a different situation, especially when you got family involved

704
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:48.880
or friends. And you said it was an eastern Kentucky

705
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:49.639
was it a.

706
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:54.559
Yeah, it's right at the Johnson Johnson Martin Floyd County line.

707
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:01.360
Okay, gotcha. Well I looked that up real quick. I

708
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:02.280
can have an idea.

709
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.519
And uh, that buddy that was riding with me, he

710
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:12.400
actually works for Pocahontas Trail Development Company, and uh, he's

711
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:17.480
got a picture. They him and his buddy was going

712
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:22.519
through there and they was mapping trails and they they

713
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:27.760
got a picture of one bigfoot right down the railroad tracks.

714
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.920
It's like some railroad tracks that's not in you know,

715
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.559
in service. And I'm trying to get a hold of

716
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.920
him right now and have him send that picture to me.

717
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.320
And when he does, I'll send you the picture.

718
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:46.159
Oh man, I mean, if you could, that would be incredible. Yeah, yeah,

719
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:46.719
no problem.

720
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:50.159
That next weekend, Uh, you know, when I tell my

721
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:54.199
boy's home to the mom me and me and Chris

722
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.519
went back up here and I took my rifle with

723
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:01.119
me and everything. And we've seen a couple of footprints

724
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:05.599
in the mud, but they kind of look like human footprints.

725
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.920
They wasn't very It's about the size of my foot

726
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.840
about it, ten to twelve inch princh, you know, not

727
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:12.719
very wide.

728
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.239
So I don't know.

729
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:19.960
It could have been a juvenile. I'm sure nobody's up

730
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.639
there with with no with no shoes on.

731
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:24.440
I'm well, the.

732
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:27.760
Thing, yeah, that is the thing. Well, man, you are

733
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:31.159
you are having some wild stuff happened out there, you know,

734
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:34.280
gept be sure in the loop if stuff continues to

735
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.679
happen when you go out. But is this a conversation

736
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:39.440
I can use on my podcast?

737
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:41.599
Absolutely? All right?

738
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:48.199
Cool, Well, thank you Adam for coming up man, no problem, Yeah,

739
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:49.239
mister hook, how's it going.

740
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:58.280
I'm all right. I'm sixty five years old. So when

741
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:05.280
I'm eighteen nineteen years old, and even before that, probably

742
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.960
seventeen sixteen, me and my fishing buddy used to go

743
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:12.159
to a place. I don't know if you know where

744
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:13.719
Marshall County, Iowa is.

745
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:18.119
At Marshall County, I believe so. But let me look

746
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:18.800
real quick.

747
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:26.119
The Iowa River runs through marsh Marshalltown. Yeah, absolutely, Okay,

748
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:31.239
So the Iowa River runs you'll see a little town

749
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:36.480
of Albion, and there's a long ago river it's called

750
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.920
Mormon Ridge. The reason it's called Mormon Ridge is when

751
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.760
the Mormons went out to where they're at now, they

752
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:48.280
got held up one winter and a lot of lost

753
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:54.599
their life here on this bridge. And I used to

754
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:59.360
fish this bridge called Indian Bridge. Now he got his

755
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:04.840
name because there was an Indian settlement just off the

756
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:09.639
side of this bridge many many years ago. So me

757
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.960
and my buddy fish are quite often. And it started

758
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:20.320
out we would it be around, you know, it'd be

759
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:25.119
well after dark or trying to fish all night. And

760
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:32.840
the first time I had to encounter was an owl

761
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:38.159
booted and all of a sudden, I heard this screen

762
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.480
I've never heard before in my life. And within I'm

763
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:48.599
going to say within two minutes, it was like it

764
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:53.639
was right underneath us on this bridge, and it was

765
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.079
very scary, very traumatic. I mean it was loud enough

766
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:02.760
that I didn't us stay there. We left.

767
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:04.760
I went back.

768
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.719
Before I was an amateur radio operator, I parked my

769
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:15.599
van on a bridge, was talking to my friends while fishing,

770
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.559
and it came back. It ran me off that night.

771
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.639
I didn't even rew my pulls up. I just shut

772
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.320
the doors and took off. So then one other time,

773
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:32.079
there's a night that me and another gentleman walked to

774
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:36.119
about a mile and a half back to a feeder

775
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:39.559
creek that feeds into the Iowa River. And we were

776
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:43.320
on a sandbar and there was a big curve and

777
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.920
that bank on the other side was probably twelve to

778
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.840
thirteen feet high. And after our fire night out that night,

779
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:57.679
this thing came out on this tree that had warshed

780
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:00.679
out into the river and fell into the river. It

781
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:06.360
went out on that tree, grabbed this branch and was

782
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:10.480
slamming it into the water, which we're right across from it.

783
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:18.360
And I'm telling you, you talk about being scared, and

784
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:23.760
we're back there with flashlights. So to leave was I mean,

785
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:29.360
it was dramatic, and the sound that it made I'll

786
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.880
never forget. And when I told the story to my

787
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:37.000
friends and people here around it, NA, you're kidding, You're

788
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:41.599
kidd And that didn't happen. So there was four carloads

789
00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:44.239
of us guys that go out there one night and

790
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:47.880
I told them, I said, you just wait, and that

791
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:53.159
owl sound came again, and the same thing happened with

792
00:45:53.280 --> 00:46:02.440
the scream of this what I know was bigfoot, and

793
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.280
it got to a point where I don't even I

794
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:05.920
don't even want to I didn't even want to go

795
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:08.159
back and to.

796
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.679
Be out there.

797
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:12.480
It put all of us on our I mean we

798
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:18.360
basically duck and ran to our vehicles to lead and

799
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:24.760
it was pretty traumatic. And it's been known for him

800
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:30.800
to for it to frequent that area. And you're not

801
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.400
far from me, because you're in five to one five

802
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:37.880
area because so I'm assuming you're in Story County or.

803
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:41.519
I'll tell you this, I'm on the other side of

804
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:42.800
the Moine, but not too far.

805
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:48.119
Okay, Well, i'll tell you what. I could take you

806
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:55.519
out there, and I guarantee you you'd have an experience. Really,

807
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:05.559
I'm in the U six four to one area code,

808
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.239
like I said, from the State Center, I'm just more

809
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:19.079
and it runs that river and the Iowa River, and

810
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:23.119
it is scared the heck out of me many times,

811
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:28.960
and it's I haven't been out there in probably twenty years,

812
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:33.559
but I grant you it's still there. I know it is.

813
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:37.320
And to be out there alone or to be with

814
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:40.199
a buddy and be out on that bridge and to

815
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:43.280
have it do what it done to us. I mean,

816
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:50.679
it just make your hair stand up. The scream alone

817
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:55.519
was you could hear it probably for a mile, and

818
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:57.960
all of a sudden it sounds like it's right underneath

819
00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:58.679
a bridge.

820
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:03.320
News that fun that the screams.

821
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:04.079
Eighties.

822
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.800
Yeah, it would have been, well, I'm sixty five now,

823
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.119
so it would have been in the eighties, Okay, yeah,

824
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:18.199
the late eighties or early Yeah, the late eighties, because

825
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:20.519
I would have been I was in my twenties and

826
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:22.880
thirties when I was going out there. You know, it

827
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:27.719
started even when I was younger as seventeen. That's where

828
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:33.320
we fished. But once it got in the area, every

829
00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:38.679
time I can't figure out why the owl is with it.

830
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:44.039
You hear the owl, and after the owl, lookout with

831
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:48.880
all Hell's gonna break loose because it's like it's some

832
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.880
I don't know if it's a messenger, if it's it

833
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:52.719
doing the.

834
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:54.000
Owl sound or what.

835
00:48:54.400 --> 00:49:00.159
But the scream that it makes and the noise it makes,

836
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:01.079
I don't want a.

837
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:01.679
Part of it.

838
00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:07.119
I don't want to face with it. And when we

839
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:11.159
were out there. We were back to almost a mile

840
00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:15.400
and a half two miles back in September and following

841
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.199
this feeder creek that feeds into the Iowa River, and

842
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:23.599
that bank is nine feet tall, ten feet tall, and

843
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:28.159
it's three o'clock in the morning, and the fires died

844
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.559
down and we don't have any more wood to put

845
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:34.880
on it, and this thing is lashing out at the water.

846
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:39.840
It's a it's a stick because we heard we heard

847
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:42.400
it break it and all of a sudden it just

848
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:44.119
starts slamming the water.

849
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:48.880
And it was just, yeah, it was.

850
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:50.159
It wanted us.

851
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:52.960
Out of there, no doubt about it.

852
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:53.159
Man.

853
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:56.280
I mean, people don't realize how crazy Iowa can get

854
00:49:56.559 --> 00:50:00.599
for bigfoot stuff, especially the Des Moines River. I also

855
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.719
has some crazy stories from over the years, all the

856
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:05.039
way down to Missy Border.

857
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:06.480
Yeah.

858
00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:09.320
I wouldn't want to come face it, I can tell

859
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:16.920
you that. And I don't understand why what it has

860
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:20.800
to do with the owl that I've taken many people

861
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:25.440
out there and I've told them you wait, it'll show up,

862
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:31.760
and it's sure enough, there's that owl sound and then

863
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:34.039
there's that screen.

864
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.280
And it's just.

865
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:40.440
It's hard to describe.

866
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.440
And some some wild wild stuff, mister hook, thank you

867
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.039
so much for coming up. Do you mind if I

868
00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:52.239
use this conversation for my podcast I have?

869
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:56.960
I don't care, all right, I'll tell you what. You

870
00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:59.159
ever want to get scared or you ever want to

871
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:04.760
try to have an encounter, look me up. I'm glad

872
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:05.719
to take you off.

873
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:08.880
I'm going to follow you just so I have a

874
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:13.960
contact for you. But thank you so much. Man, All right,

875
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:16.440
enjoy it, guys, and you have a good one.

876
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:19.000
You two thinks?

877
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:22.719
Hey Brian, how are you?

878
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:23.960
Hey? Brother?

879
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:24.880
I'm doing good?

880
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:26.679
What brings us?

881
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.599
Just jumped on here and was looking at some lives

882
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:35.039
and noticed that you were doing a Bigfoot live. And

883
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:41.199
I don't ever get on these. I don't. I don't

884
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:43.960
follow these a whole lot because I've had experiences in

885
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:47.519
my life and anytime you try to tell somebody something

886
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:53.880
you know exactly how that goes, well, you have actually

887
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:58.199
to get a hold of me. You probably read some

888
00:51:58.239 --> 00:51:59.679
of my comments.

889
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.280
I saw one of them that was pretty interesting.

890
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:12.559
Yeah. So back in oh my gosh, it was I'm

891
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:18.559
fifty two now when I heard when I my first experience,

892
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.559
and uh I was I believe at that time I

893
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:25.039
was ten maybe eleven. I think I was eleven years

894
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:28.559
old and my buddy was a couple of years older

895
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.719
than I was. We all had a lived in rural

896
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.079
Missouri and you know, played in the woods.

897
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:36.760
We were still familiar with the.

898
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:41.199
Woods we were we work with all the time, squirrel hunting,

899
00:52:41.239 --> 00:52:44.079
rabbit hunt and whatever. One day we were playing out

900
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.199
in the yard, jumping bikes over ramps and you know,

901
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.880
having a good time like kids do, and we decided

902
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:50.679
we're just going to go to the woods, because that's

903
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:55.360
what we did all the time. Well, the woods after

904
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:01.199
we crossed into into the wood part, they were different.

905
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:01.599
There.

906
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:05.039
There were things different. Stephen and I I'll never forget this.

907
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.199
My buddy, Steve and I both stopped and we were like,

908
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:12.360
what is going on? Trees were bent over, there were

909
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:18.039
it was just something that we'd never seen. We've been

910
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:20.559
We grew up in those woods, you know what I mean.

911
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.119
We knew those woods like the back of our hands.

912
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:29.159
And there was something different going on and these trees

913
00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:32.800
and they were young, you know, kind of young trees.

914
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:38.519
They were bent over and out of nowhere. And there's

915
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:46.960
people that believe different things about Bigfoot. This came out

916
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:51.840
of nowhere. Steve and I both stopped. I'll never forget this.

917
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:57.960
We both stopped because the woods were different, and all

918
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:05.559
of the sudden, out of these bent over trees, it

919
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:09.280
was like, and I know this is gonna sound really weird,

920
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:14.400
it was like something opened up and jumped out of

921
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:22.159
like I don't even know it, like a portal maybe you.

922
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:26.440
Know as an older and just crashed.

923
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:32.239
I mean such a loud crash, maybe fifty feet ahead

924
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:36.159
of us. Scared us to death, and I will never

925
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:44.400
forget what it looked like. And we turned around to

926
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:48.679
run and everything was in slow motion. I mean it

927
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.880
was like we could not get away fast enough. And

928
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:58.320
the there was like some sort of a weird it's

929
00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.199
hard to explain, like I had almost like a magnetism,

930
00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:04.880
like a some it was like over the top of us.

931
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:07.159
It was.

932
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:11.000
It was crazy. And it wasn't until we hit the

933
00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:15.760
tree line to where the houses were back in the country,

934
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:21.559
to where it all just went away. And that was

935
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:26.159
the first I'm going to call that a bigfoot experience

936
00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:34.519
because what we saw was a huge What we saw

937
00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:41.280
and heard was a huge, hairy something man looking beast

938
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:45.559
ape huge, and it just came out of nowhere. It

939
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:49.039
came out of like a just a space and just

940
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:54.400
landed in front of it with a big, huge crash wow,

941
00:55:55.159 --> 00:55:59.800
and it was it was just so I'll never forget this,

942
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:03.159
and Steve and I have not. This is the first

943
00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:05.599
I've ever talked about it, and I don't know why

944
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:10.280
I was drawn to your show. I have not mentioned

945
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:12.760
this in detail to anybody over the years. Well, my

946
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:15.679
wife knows, my kids know about it. I mean, you know,

947
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.400
close people. But I don't go out and talk about this.

948
00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:22.000
I mean, I mean, that's something that was very personal

949
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:26.159
and very scary and horrifying. Steven will not talk about

950
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:28.920
it to this day. I mean, it's just something that

951
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:32.760
we don't share with people because it was so out

952
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:38.400
of the ordinary and just so I've learned a lot

953
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:41.079
since then because I did a lot of bigfoot research

954
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:46.679
and I've done UFO research everything else. Now, that was

955
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:50.800
the first experience whenever I was like eleven, so in

956
00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:55.039
nineteen I believe it was nineteen ninety six. I think

957
00:56:56.159 --> 00:56:58.960
I used to do some storm chasing. I graduated back

958
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:01.639
in nineteen ninety one. Used to do some storm chasing.

959
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:04.599
I've been in radio, I've been in broadcasting, for years,

960
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:09.760
thirty two years, and so I was doing some storm

961
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:15.000
chasing and in South Missouri there was, oh my gosh,

962
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:20.599
it was tornadoes running just rampant everywhere they were. It

963
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:24.559
was like a breakout. And I was going down to

964
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:27.519
Twin Bridges. I don't know, there's some people may know

965
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:33.039
about Twin Bridges and in Missouri, but was driving through

966
00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:37.559
that area and things were flooding, things were just blowing around.

967
00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:41.079
I mean it was crazy, just crazy. And I was

968
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:44.599
going around a corner and Twin Bridges is a there's

969
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:49.199
a canoe rental area down there, and I actually had

970
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:52.559
in mind to check on some canoe prices because someboddies

971
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:55.440
of mine wanted to go canoeing this, that, and the other.

972
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:57.480
And I thought, well, this is perfect because I'm headed

973
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.519
that way to chase storms. So I thought i'd stopped

974
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:02.320
by the canoe rental place and just kind of see

975
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:05.079
what they had going on. But right at that time,

976
00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:08.880
they had some tornadoes going on in that area. Whenever

977
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:13.840
I went around this corner down by where the river was,

978
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:18.280
things were getting flooded out, trees were blowing over. I mean,

979
00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:19.960
it was crazy.

980
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:27.159
Oh I think, Brian, I think you may have muted

981
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:38.599
yourself by accident. Oh no, man, just when it was

982
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:40.480
getting good. We'll give him a minute to see if

983
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:49.760
you can figure it out, hopefully.

984
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:53.119
I oh my god, it took my breath, but I

985
00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:55.519
knew it was a female because you could see the

986
00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:56.480
breast area.

987
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:01.199
And Brian, I apologize, you've muted for the last like

988
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:05.760
half a minute. Oh shoot, yeah. So the last thing

989
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:08.760
I heard was like, you were looking into rental canoes.

990
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:13.960
Yes, yes, And we were storm chasing and looking into

991
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:21.480
rental canoes down on the Twin It was there now okay,

992
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:26.440
and the tornado was storm chasing at that time. I

993
00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:30.840
reported back to the weather station. All the and up

994
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:37.159
a hill. It was a steep grade walks this bigfoot.

995
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:41.519
It was a female. You could she was holding hands

996
00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:45.599
with a baby. A small well, he wasn't small, I

997
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.679
mean he was like he or she whatever. It was

998
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.079
like four foot tall. They were holding hands and they

999
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:53.920
were coming up the hill.

1000
00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:56.199
That was so steep.

1001
00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:59.760
You and I could not walk up this hill. I mean,

1002
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.400
there is no way, and I mean that's a hill

1003
01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:06.000
that if you wrecked your car around. I mean it

1004
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:08.440
was like a twenty five mile prior corner kind of

1005
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:13.360
hill down to the canoe rental place, and that was

1006
01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:16.679
the first female that I'd ever seen. You could tell

1007
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.679
by the breast, and I mean that was and it

1008
01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:22.920
took my breath away. I didn't even catch my breath

1009
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:25.679
til I got down to the actual canoe rental place.

1010
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.880
I'll never forget it. It's burned a place in my brain.

1011
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:35.880
She was holding its hand and they were walking up

1012
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:41.360
that freaking hill. That's not what's wild. Here is what's wild.

1013
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:46.400
Whenever I pulled down to the canoe rental place, there

1014
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:49.360
was some old timers in there. You know, it was

1015
01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:51.199
like one of those places where people just.

1016
01:00:51.199 --> 01:00:52.079
Kind of hung out.

1017
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:58.039
What steps this old guy, this gentleman, was outside and

1018
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:00.199
he looks at me and he says, are you okay?

1019
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:03.760
And I said, I just saw something up the hill

1020
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:09.679
and he says to me, was at Bigfoot And I said, I.

1021
01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:10.280
Think it was.

1022
01:01:11.599 --> 01:01:14.760
And he opens the door and hollers in there, and

1023
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:19.119
like three guys come running out and apparently they had

1024
01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:23.320
experiences or something. I don't know, but these three guys

1025
01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:26.519
run out and they all go somewhere I don't know.

1026
01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:30.360
I just stepped out of my car to breathe, You

1027
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:35.239
know what I mean, because that experience took my breath.

1028
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:39.519
I mean, I didn't even it was crazy. I could

1029
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:41.079
have rolled down my window and.

1030
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:47.320
Oh no, mut it again.

1031
01:01:58.079 --> 01:01:58.599
Thrown there.

1032
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:02.920
Yeah, they took off. I don't know if they ever

1033
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:03.559
found nothing.

1034
01:02:03.679 --> 01:02:04.159
I don't know.

1035
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:07.519
I went in, I bought a soda and the clerk

1036
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:10.000
was kind of in on it, and he was like,

1037
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:10.880
what did you see?

1038
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:12.079
And I told him what I saw.

1039
01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:15.239
And I got my soda and I went home. I

1040
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:16.480
went to visit my mom.

1041
01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:16.960
I was.

1042
01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:23.639
Chasing storms, you know, and it's wild. I think I

1043
01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:26.719
may have missed a part. So the three guys that

1044
01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:29.480
went running, where did they go running to?

1045
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.239
I don't know they headed? Yeah, I would, dude, I

1046
01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:37.119
was so taken back. I would. I mean, I was

1047
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:40.400
out of breath, you know what I mean. I was

1048
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:44.039
so whenever I pulled down to the canoe rental place,

1049
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:48.960
I didn't I didn't even ask for prices.

1050
01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:53.599
So that's a canoe rental placed at three Bridges, Missouri.

1051
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.920
Yeah, well it's twin Bridges in.

1052
01:02:56.840 --> 01:02:59.639
A twin Bridge. Sorry, yeah, it's.

1053
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:03.119
Yeah, it's done around. Oh god, I used to know

1054
01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:06.880
that area so well, but I've I've been up the

1055
01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:11.440
northern part since and but it's got twim bred if.

1056
01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:15.880
In fact, if you google twin Bridges Canoe rental, yeah,

1057
01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:21.199
it take your right because they're down there and it's

1058
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:22.880
so squatchy.

1059
01:03:24.239 --> 01:03:26.679
I pstaly it is that.

1060
01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:35.079
Area, gotcha? Okay, Yeah, that's might look. Might look and

1061
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:43.480
said the first story you had with the portal is

1062
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:45.960
that is that southern Missouri as well?

1063
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:48.239
Yeah?

1064
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:53.119
Yeah, that's the West Plains area, just outside of West Plains.

1065
01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:58.440
Okay, I just want to look at it real clear.

1066
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:07.519
Oh sure, Yeah, Okay, that's awesome. I haven't had anything

1067
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:10.920
from that area yet, but that's good to know. Awesome. Wow,

1068
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.280
thank you for sharing what you've experienced over the years.

1069
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:15.280
I really appreciate that.

1070
01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:20.199
Yeah, I appreciate you and your show. And like I said,

1071
01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:24.559
I don't share a lot because, you know, after the

1072
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:29.000
storm chasing thing, I started doing some bigfoot investigation. I

1073
01:04:29.039 --> 01:04:33.840
started doing some us UFO investigations and different things like that,

1074
01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:37.239
and come to find out, over the years the two

1075
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:41.199
kind of go hand in hand. I haven't quite figured

1076
01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:45.119
out that missing link yet, and I don't have time.

1077
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:48.400
I'm fifty two now. I did a lot of investigation

1078
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.760
and I've found a lot of things out, and I

1079
01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:54.760
mean it's too much to share here, but I have

1080
01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:59.920
been around some places like Northview, Missouri, when they had

1081
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:05.960
that big sighting down there of UFOs. There was also

1082
01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:10.320
which was not reported. The UFO siding was reported as

1083
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:14.599
a hoax. However, there's more things about that, but there

1084
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:18.320
was also some bigfoot sightings at the same time, and

1085
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:23.000
that was never reported. I found that out from some

1086
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:25.440
locals because I used to go to interviews, this, that,

1087
01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:27.840
and the other. And I have found out over the

1088
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:34.159
years with my investigation. I've been broadcasting forever, like half

1089
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:38.960
my life or more, but I have found out that

1090
01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:45.440
a lot of the times UFO reports and bigfoot reports

1091
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:48.760
kind of go hand in hand. So there is a

1092
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:53.760
missing link there somewhere that we kind of need to

1093
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:54.440
figure out.

1094
01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:59.320
You know, I agree one hundred percent. There's a lot

1095
01:05:59.360 --> 01:06:02.519
of people don't realize that there's bigfoot reports in the

1096
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:07.119
mof ON database. From what I've heard, Oh right, yeah, yeah,

1097
01:06:07.159 --> 01:06:11.079
it's just it's wild. It's wild man, Brian. This has

1098
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:16.039
been just a really really fun conversation. Is it one

1099
01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:19.320
where I know that you don't share this a lot.

1100
01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:22.280
Would I be able to use the audio from it

1101
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.119
on my podcast. If not, that's no problem.

1102
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.760
Yeah, I hope you're a good editor. I probably stuttered

1103
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:32.280
a lot, or would. I just have never shared my stories.

1104
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:36.320
Anytime that I try to do some there's always trolls.

1105
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:41.079
Some reason. I've found yours on here tonight and I

1106
01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:45.639
just had some free time, and first I just watched

1107
01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:47.639
it and was listening to it, and I thought, you

1108
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:50.960
know what, I might the whole portal thing. That's the

1109
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:54.239
one that I don't share with anybody because nobody believes that.

1110
01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:59.760
Nobody believes that that first experience that was that Bigfoot

1111
01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:04.679
did not come from the ground, that it came from

1112
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:09.280
somewhere else. And Stephen, Stephen and I seen it with

1113
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:14.400
our own eyes. It came from this somewhere the sky,

1114
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:19.559
between the trees whatever it we there was an actual light.

1115
01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:24.239
I mean it was it sounds like a movie and

1116
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:30.039
it was. It was actually came out of something I

1117
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:34.719
don't know what, and whenever it came through, it crashed

1118
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:38.599
so loud in front of us that we I mean,

1119
01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:42.519
I can't even explain it. And that's why I never

1120
01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:46.960
have until tonight, because nobody would believe it. I can't

1121
01:07:47.000 --> 01:07:50.239
just come face to face with somebody and explain it

1122
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:55.320
because I can't you you can't imagine what it was,

1123
01:07:55.519 --> 01:07:57.480
you know what I mean. It's like all of our

1124
01:07:57.559 --> 01:07:59.639
little tree I mean, we know these woods like the

1125
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:03.320
back of our hands, and all these trees were turned

1126
01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:06.960
and bent like in a U shape. They met each other,

1127
01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:10.880
these younger trees, some of them were older. We knew

1128
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.159
these woods like the back of our hands. And when

1129
01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:16.920
we got to that part of the woods, we did

1130
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:20.600
not recognize and we stopped. And then all of a sudden,

1131
01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:29.760
something came from somewhere and just exploded, with this creature

1132
01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:33.159
coming out and landed in front of us. I mean,

1133
01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:41.039
it shook everything and we turned to run but couldn't run.

1134
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:44.880
Steven and I will both tell you today we were

1135
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:50.359
running as fast as we could. I remember the woods

1136
01:08:50.439 --> 01:08:54.199
going by, but I also remember just not being able

1137
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:58.520
to get anywhere. And Steven would say the same thing,

1138
01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:03.039
but he don't talk about it either. And until we

1139
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:07.359
hit the clearing, until we cleared the woods. Right when

1140
01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:10.680
we hit that wood edge and hit the clearing, that's

1141
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.880
when everything went off. And Steve and I were both

1142
01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:16.840
running full speak. I mean, we were kids. We were like,

1143
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.720
what was that, but we were being chased by a

1144
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:26.720
monster that came out of nowhere, came out of not

1145
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:34.079
the woods, came out of a freaking circle, came out

1146
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:38.560
of a pumple. You know, it's crazy.

1147
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:43.239
It's an incredible story, for sure. I just want to

1148
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:46.720
double check. Would I be able to be cleared to

1149
01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:49.920
use the conversation or what? Do you think?

1150
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:54.680
You know what? Go ahead and use it because I'm

1151
01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:57.960
fifty to you and I've never shared it.

1152
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.920
Brian, thank you so much for coming and for sharing

1153
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:05.159
publicly what you experienced. I appreciate it. I'm going to

1154
01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:09.560
check in with some other people, but it's been good

1155
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:10.680
stalking to you today, sir.

1156
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.399
Thank you all right, thank you for having me on.

1157
01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:17.079
Just edit me good okay, you gottare all right? Brother,

1158
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:19.159
all right, brother, check in with you soon.

1159
01:10:19.199 --> 01:10:19.880
I'm going to follow.

1160
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:24.119
Thank you all right, good good stuff.

1161
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:24.359
Man.

1162
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:32.119
What I can't imagine keeping that in for more than

1163
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.319
forty forty years. Hey, Karen, how are you?

1164
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:36.479
Hey?

1165
01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:37.640
I'm doing okay.

1166
01:10:37.720 --> 01:10:41.239
I apologize for sending a request earlier and then chickening out.

1167
01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:43.640
Oh you're okay.

1168
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:49.119
I've never done this before, so bear with me.

1169
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:59.760
I've had two experiences little backstory. I'm I'm a real

1170
01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:03.479
time I was born a tomboy, used to go fishing

1171
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:07.239
all the time with my dad. My first experience happened

1172
01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:11.159
when I was with my dad and I was about

1173
01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:16.479
twelve years old. I'm sixty years old now, and I'll

1174
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:18.840
share the location on this one because it was so

1175
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:25.319
long ago. We were at Table Rock Lake down in

1176
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:30.279
the Ozarks. We vacationed there every year. My dad would

1177
01:11:30.319 --> 01:11:32.199
save us time up, you know, and we'd go for

1178
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:35.720
a long period of time, like a month, and we

1179
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:39.039
were fishing real early in the morning. My dad had

1180
01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:42.680
a health condition and he would kind of randomly fall asleep.

1181
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:47.239
My mom, you know, go fishing with your dad, which

1182
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:48.520
I wanted to go anyway.

1183
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:49.319
So we go out there.

1184
01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:52.479
It's about five thirty six o'clock in the morning, and

1185
01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:54.439
we have a little trolling motor on the boat.

1186
01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:54.680
You know.

1187
01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:57.119
We're going back into a cove. And as we got

1188
01:11:57.159 --> 01:12:01.840
back into this cove, I heard something. I just assumed

1189
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:03.840
it was like deer or something, and I think my

1190
01:12:03.960 --> 01:12:08.760
dad did too. And my dad was an outdoorsman, and

1191
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:11.720
we kind of got back into that cove, you know,

1192
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:13.520
and we were going to rest a little bit and

1193
01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:18.239
do a little fishing back in there, and I think

1194
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:22.359
we got too close in because something yelled.

1195
01:12:22.039 --> 01:12:29.039
At us that was so loud. I just remember that.

1196
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:32.319
Years later, I went to a concert and that like

1197
01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:35.520
vibration in your chest from the base. It was almost

1198
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:42.279
like that. It was unbelievably loud. And it was the

1199
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.000
first time I ever heard my dad drop the F bomb.

1200
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:52.000
He didn't know what it was, scared the living daylights

1201
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:55.359
out of me, and I just remember him being like,

1202
01:12:56.159 --> 01:12:59.359
the effing paddle, the trolling motor wasn't getting us out

1203
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:00.439
of there fast enough.

1204
01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:05.199
He never told my mom.

1205
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:10.680
He's like, don't, don't say anything about it, and I

1206
01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:19.880
never did until years later when I had my second experience,

1207
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:26.920
which was only three years ago. Oh wow, if it's okay,

1208
01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:28.039
I don't want to share the.

1209
01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:30.159
Location, that's fine, yep.

1210
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:35.800
But I live in Illinois and I actually live.

1211
01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:42.720
Just south of Pekan in a rural area, a little

1212
01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:46.800
rural town, and uh, there's been a lot of sightings

1213
01:13:46.840 --> 01:13:51.039
I know up in the peak in Peoria area a time.

1214
01:13:52.920 --> 01:13:55.960
One of them was really weird because that that remember

1215
01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:58.319
that one of that truck driver that was like a

1216
01:13:58.319 --> 01:14:02.000
mail guy or something, and he was one by Glasgow, Illinois,

1217
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.119
like in the morning, and it was.

1218
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:05.520
Like in the.

1219
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:09.960
Yeah, he's come on this live before to talk about it.

1220
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:14.840
Actually, that morning was the same morning of a of

1221
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:19.840
a thing we have here called the Spoon River Drive, Okay,

1222
01:14:21.159 --> 01:14:24.000
and that morning, about an hour and a half later,

1223
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:27.079
my daughter, her best friend, and myself went right down

1224
01:14:27.159 --> 01:14:31.439
that same road. But I didn't know that there was

1225
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:33.680
Obviously I didn't know there was a sighting that morning.

1226
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:36.439
But yeah, later on that same day we were going

1227
01:14:36.520 --> 01:14:39.319
down there as part of the Spoon River Drive because

1228
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:43.079
we were garage sailing and antiquing and what have you,

1229
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.399
and we were going to glass Glasgow, I think, is

1230
01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.439
how you pronounce it, and that was.

1231
01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:49.239
That was kind of weird.

1232
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:50.960
I was like, oh my gosh, I was glad I

1233
01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:53.199
was with my daughter and her friend and we had

1234
01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:56.079
seen a sasquatch because I think they both would have

1235
01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:58.119
we would have had to come home because they would

1236
01:14:58.159 --> 01:14:59.000
have soiled themselves.

1237
01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:00.439
I'm sure too.

1238
01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:05.520
But my experience was I'm a rockhounder, like I said,

1239
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:09.840
I'm a real tomboy, and I don't know if you

1240
01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:11.680
get a lot of rockhounders that.

1241
01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:12.439
Have called in.

1242
01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:16.399
A few of them yep.

1243
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:19.640
Because you know that takes us out in the deep woods,

1244
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:24.520
not on a trail. And this is something that I do.

1245
01:15:25.359 --> 01:15:29.920
And I can tell you what state.

1246
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:32.520
I was in. I was in Arkansas, Okay.

1247
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:39.560
I had gone there with one friend and we had

1248
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:43.279
kind of taken off that morning and in an area

1249
01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:46.680
kind of he went one way and I ended up

1250
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:50.119
going another. And a small little part of this story,

1251
01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:52.680
but I can't help but feel like it added to it.

1252
01:15:56.079 --> 01:15:59.000
The one girl that was there that that kind of

1253
01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:05.159
she works in the area. And there was a raccoon

1254
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:09.520
that had had babies in a woodpile and they had

1255
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:11.920
cleared them out of the woodpile. And I'm guessing the

1256
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:15.199
mother must have either taken off scared and didn't come back,

1257
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:18.439
or ran back into the woodpile. I don't know, but

1258
01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:21.039
I know they had these babies, they bottle fed them.

1259
01:16:21.479 --> 01:16:25.479
They all took off except for one. And that one

1260
01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:29.079
raccoon that day, that little baby raccoon really wanted to

1261
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:29.640
go with me.

1262
01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:34.560
So she's like hanging onto my pant leg.

1263
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:36.520
I ended up picking her up, sticking her up on

1264
01:16:36.600 --> 01:16:41.039
my shoulder, and taking off. Walked off out in the woods,

1265
01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:45.800
got on the side of like, I was kind of

1266
01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:46.560
down in.

1267
01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:50.920
Kind of like a it was almost like a.

1268
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:54.800
Little gully or pit or whatever, and I was I

1269
01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:59.319
was doing some mining, and I'm making a lot of noise.

1270
01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:03.119
I'm slammed, banging around, and every so often I am

1271
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:06.720
having a little conversation with this baby raccoon because she

1272
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:09.159
was really trying to get to my sandwiches that were

1273
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:15.039
in my backpack, which I ended up sharing one with her,

1274
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:24.119
and probably, gosh, I would say probably two hours into

1275
01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:30.199
the time I was down there, I was kind of

1276
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:34.199
paying more attention to what I was doing, but I

1277
01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:39.159
started to like, I smelled something that did not smell

1278
01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:45.279
very good, and I remember I picked her up and

1279
01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:46.960
looked at her, and I kind of brought her in

1280
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:48.880
close to me and I was like, is that you

1281
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:50.479
You haven't smelled like that all day?

1282
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:51.800
What's going on? Kind of thing?

1283
01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:54.039
And I set her down, and of course she kept

1284
01:17:54.119 --> 01:17:57.199
running back up on me and stuff, and I was like, okay,

1285
01:17:57.239 --> 01:17:59.119
and so I give her some more of my sandwich

1286
01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:02.039
and I'm kind of talking to her and she keeps

1287
01:18:02.119 --> 01:18:08.600
looking off this one direction and I'm like, okay, well

1288
01:18:08.640 --> 01:18:12.520
it still stinks in the air, and I stand up

1289
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:21.640
and I'm like, I'm down, Like, so this ridge is

1290
01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:25.359
kind of like kind of hiding me in a way.

1291
01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:30.279
But it was really really hot that day. It was

1292
01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:34.319
probably ninety eight degrees with one hundred and four heat index.

1293
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:37.760
So any animal that would have been around there would

1294
01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:45.840
have smelled me too, I would imagine. But I kind

1295
01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.039
of like, I pop my head up to take a

1296
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:58.359
look around, and there was a sasquatch behind a tree,

1297
01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:08.920
looking out from behind the tree at us, and it

1298
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:13.560
was high enough up on the ridge that it saw us.

1299
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:19.199
And I looked at it, and it looked at me,

1300
01:19:20.600 --> 01:19:26.079
and it put its head back behind the tree. And

1301
01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:32.560
the tree wasn't big enough to hide the whole creature

1302
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:35.920
I'm gonna call, I say creature.

1303
01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:43.359
The hardest part for me has been.

1304
01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:53.159
How much it looked like a man. I haven't been

1305
01:19:53.199 --> 01:20:01.199
able to wrap my head around it completely. And I

1306
01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:11.439
don't know why. I didn't feel like women have a

1307
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:13.600
kind of a sixth sense.

1308
01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:16.800
I mean we, and.

1309
01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:20.880
I mean yeah, I don't think I was breathing for

1310
01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:31.840
a few but I didn't feel fear, and that doesn't

1311
01:20:31.840 --> 01:20:39.880
make much sense to me. And this happened three times.

1312
01:20:41.720 --> 01:20:45.079
He put his head back behind the tree, and I

1313
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:48.079
sat back down, and I thought, my friend is not

1314
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:51.439
even in screaming distance to me. I got no phone

1315
01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:55.159
because there's no signal out there anyway. My phone's in

1316
01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:59.479
my jeep, and I'm just like sitting down there, wondering,

1317
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:07.399
like what I should do. I'm five five, one hundred

1318
01:21:07.399 --> 01:21:09.119
and fifteen pounds. I'm a little bitty thing.

1319
01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:13.520
I was.

1320
01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:17.479
I was scared, but I wasn't scared, if that makes

1321
01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:21.800
any sense. A lot of it didn't make sense to me,

1322
01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:29.479
I guess. But so I sat there and all these

1323
01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:32.439
things went through my head, like if that thing has

1324
01:21:32.520 --> 01:21:35.640
been there the entire time I smelled it, it could

1325
01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:37.800
have came down here, picked me up, and carted me

1326
01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:40.880
away and there wouldn't have been jack nothing I could

1327
01:21:40.920 --> 01:21:51.000
have done about it. I popped my head back up,

1328
01:21:53.279 --> 01:21:55.560
and I don't know why I did this, but I mean,

1329
01:21:55.600 --> 01:21:59.319
this happened three times. I popped my head back up,

1330
01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:01.640
and it was looking back out from behind the tree

1331
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:08.960
at me and the raccoon. And I looked at it.

1332
01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:13.199
I mean, I got a look in the face.

1333
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:16.239
It had.

1334
01:22:17.800 --> 01:22:26.680
Like an amber, like a brownish amber eye color, and

1335
01:22:28.039 --> 01:22:35.439
it wasn't black. It was brown like a darker brown,

1336
01:22:36.239 --> 01:22:47.399
and it was like hair, like it wasn't for it

1337
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:51.680
was like hair. I don't know if anybody's ever said

1338
01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:53.479
that a lot.

1339
01:22:53.359 --> 01:22:55.760
Of people have a lot of people have.

1340
01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:56.840
Yeah.

1341
01:22:56.840 --> 01:23:01.479
Wow, how far away from from it were you again?

1342
01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:11.279
Oh god, I'm not very good with distance. Maybe gosh,

1343
01:23:11.319 --> 01:23:18.000
I don't know, five hundred feet wow. Like I saw

1344
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:25.159
like I saw like his face and his like his shoulder.

1345
01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:29.920
He was like behind the tree and he was facing

1346
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:36.199
to the side, so his body was like a profile

1347
01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:38.399
to me, and his head was turned and he was

1348
01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:44.399
leaning back. I saw like the side of like the

1349
01:23:44.520 --> 01:23:50.159
hip area, and a little bit of the leg because

1350
01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:53.520
I was looking up, so I did not see feet,

1351
01:23:56.600 --> 01:24:02.000
you know. And I didn't know what to do. And

1352
01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:08.800
I got back down, and I thought, I wonder, like what,

1353
01:24:10.600 --> 01:24:13.520
I don't feel uncomfortable to like walk away.

1354
01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:16.880
I'm like frozen here. I didn't know what to do.

1355
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:24.600
And I looked back up again and it was still there,

1356
01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:27.760
but it wasn't looking out at me. So I got

1357
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:30.479
back down, and then the third time it was like

1358
01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:33.720
I went down and then I popped right back up

1359
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.399
again to see if he was like trying to time me,

1360
01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:38.960
you know what?

1361
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:39.520
I mean.

1362
01:24:41.479 --> 01:24:43.640
Like a pattern, like if I was going to come

1363
01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:46.520
back up soon. So I went down and then I

1364
01:24:46.600 --> 01:24:49.239
came back up soon and he was looking down at

1365
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:55.000
us still, but he didn't hurry to go behind the tree,

1366
01:24:55.359 --> 01:25:01.560
especially like the third time. And I didn't know what

1367
01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:07.439
I like. I literally was like, I didn't know what

1368
01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:13.359
to do. There's not many times I'm like I said,

1369
01:25:13.359 --> 01:25:13.840
I'm kind.

1370
01:25:13.760 --> 01:25:16.039
Of a tomboy. I kind of face things head on.

1371
01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:19.359
I'm a lot of people probably would describe me as

1372
01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:25.760
being brave or bold. I kind of say what I think,

1373
01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.039
and I don't have a whole lot of a filter

1374
01:25:28.239 --> 01:25:37.600
sometimes and I just I was at a complete loss

1375
01:25:39.279 --> 01:25:47.600
as to what to do. I literally I volunteer at

1376
01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:52.399
a local dog shelter and sometimes with bigger dogs that

1377
01:25:52.479 --> 01:25:58.279
would be aggressive, I would sit with food and I

1378
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:01.560
would talk to them and I would talk him into

1379
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:04.800
letting me work with them.

1380
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:06.840
I didn't know what to do.

1381
01:26:07.079 --> 01:26:10.119
And I was like when I stood back up and

1382
01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:13.720
it was there, I was like, And the funny thing

1383
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:16.720
was was I said the same thing, which there would

1384
01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:18.720
be no way that I would be able to hurt

1385
01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:22.880
something like that, But I was like, should I talk

1386
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:29.560
He's like hello, and it just looked at me, and

1387
01:26:29.560 --> 01:26:37.760
I'm like, I'm not going to hurt you. And he

1388
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:41.159
looked at me for a minute, and then he put

1389
01:26:41.159 --> 01:26:46.920
his head back behind the tree and I just kind

1390
01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:51.039
of stood there for a second, and then I sat

1391
01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:54.840
back down in there, and then I heard him move away.

1392
01:26:57.039 --> 01:26:59.079
He just went back into the woods.

1393
01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:06.319
I didn't get to hear any noise, Like, he didn't vocalize,

1394
01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:16.439
he didn't scream at me. I felt like like maybe

1395
01:27:16.479 --> 01:27:20.880
he was curious what I was doing, or what I

1396
01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:23.880
was doing talking to this raccoon and giving it food,

1397
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:31.359
I don't know, or just curious as to why I

1398
01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:34.880
was banging on a rock making all that noise. I

1399
01:27:34.920 --> 01:27:39.439
don't know. I mean they hit three. Maybe he wondered

1400
01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:42.119
why I was hitting these rocks. Maybe I actually drew

1401
01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:48.439
him in without knowing or even thinking about it.

1402
01:27:47.880 --> 01:27:53.840
It's really it is super interesting. Thank you for sharing

1403
01:27:54.199 --> 01:28:01.319
what you experience. I appreciate you coming up here. Is

1404
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.479
it a thing? Where would you be all right if

1405
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:08.560
I share this account on the podcast that I have

1406
01:28:08.720 --> 01:28:09.840
about Bigfoot?

1407
01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:13.239
Yeah? I would that would be okay.

1408
01:28:13.399 --> 01:28:16.800
Okay cool? Have you ever been back to that place again?

1409
01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:18.159
No?

1410
01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:22.800
I want to go real bad and I have not.

1411
01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:27.159
But I'll tell you a small little part of this

1412
01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:32.720
is I have two friends that live off grid that

1413
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:38.000
work in the area, and I should I could maybe

1414
01:28:38.039 --> 01:28:42.159
email you if you didn't share some of the more

1415
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:43.800
detailed information.

1416
01:28:45.479 --> 01:28:45.720
I have.

1417
01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:49.520
I'm kind of changing a few things here and there

1418
01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:52.239
of the location stuff and what was going on.

1419
01:28:52.960 --> 01:28:55.840
But I have two friends that work in the area.

1420
01:28:56.039 --> 01:28:58.039
And you may even been able to read between the

1421
01:28:58.079 --> 01:28:59.239
lines here. I don't know, but.

1422
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:05.199
They live off grid and they only drive about five

1423
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:11.840
miles to get to this area. And when I shared

1424
01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:15.399
it with them because I was kind of freaking out,

1425
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:22.119
they were like, oh, well, you saw the big guy.

1426
01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:25.399
Very casually.

1427
01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:36.960
And I'm like, so, like you know, and they're like yeah,

1428
01:29:37.000 --> 01:29:38.600
and they both look at each other and we're like,

1429
01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:42.520
we should have probably said something before we just let

1430
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:44.439
you go down there.

1431
01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:47.920
Wow, that's wild. And only three years ago.

1432
01:29:49.560 --> 01:29:55.039
Yeah, and they have been putting baskets of apples in

1433
01:29:55.119 --> 01:29:57.079
an area where.

1434
01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:02.439
Not just this one. We have figured out that.

1435
01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:08.000
The one I had my experience with I believe to

1436
01:30:08.039 --> 01:30:11.119
be kind of like the equivalent of like maybe a teenager.

1437
01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:20.520
The big guy is probably the father of this one,

1438
01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:26.600
and a female has been seen only a couple of times,

1439
01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:29.000
and the.

1440
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:38.000
Female has a more reddish color to her.

1441
01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:47.720
The big guy is humongous, huge, eight to nine foot tall.

1442
01:30:50.439 --> 01:30:51.920
I did see footprints.

1443
01:30:53.279 --> 01:30:58.520
I was shown the apple area and the footprints going

1444
01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:00.439
back and forth to that area.

1445
01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:02.600
Yeah, lots of.

1446
01:31:02.479 --> 01:31:10.319
Them, and they I mean, I wear a seven. I

1447
01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:13.079
can put my foot heel toe, and it was the

1448
01:31:13.159 --> 01:31:15.840
foot was still bigger than mine. And when I put

1449
01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:19.279
my feet side by side, they were wider than mine.

1450
01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:21.600
Okay, wow.

1451
01:31:22.279 --> 01:31:25.199
But the one that I saw, it was hard to

1452
01:31:25.319 --> 01:31:30.560
tell because I was looking up, but I'm guessing that

1453
01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:34.239
maybe it was six and a half to seven foot tall.

1454
01:31:36.439 --> 01:31:41.399
Its head was huge. The head was huge, and it

1455
01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:48.800
had like ever since I ever since I came back.

1456
01:31:48.880 --> 01:31:52.560
One of the things I've said to people that just

1457
01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:59.800
my family know, and one of my close friends who

1458
01:32:01.159 --> 01:32:04.239
is a believer and does follow you and a lot

1459
01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:11.920
of other people. I told him and I showed him

1460
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:17.479
two pictures that were given sent to me by the

1461
01:32:17.560 --> 01:32:21.640
people that work there, and he freaked out because he

1462
01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:24.199
said that they were the best photos he had ever

1463
01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:34.720
seen in his life of a sasquatch. They never shared him.

1464
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:37.199
They don't They don't have Wi Fi. They don't listen

1465
01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:45.920
to anything. They don't they're completely off gride people. He

1466
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:53.800
was pretty excited about it when I told him, But

1467
01:32:53.920 --> 01:33:00.119
the way that he looked, I if someone told me

1468
01:33:00.239 --> 01:33:03.640
that they saw a bigfoot and it looked like a gorilla,

1469
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:09.640
I would look at them like they were lying. If

1470
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:12.359
if somebody told me it looked like a gorilla, I

1471
01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:15.159
would know that that's not what they did not see.

1472
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:18.239
As watched, they were not talking because it looked like

1473
01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:18.640
a man.

1474
01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:25.239
It looks so human. That's been the hardest part for

1475
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:26.760
me to wrap my head around.

1476
01:33:29.720 --> 01:33:30.039
That.

1477
01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:32.479
That is the thing that a lot of people struggle

1478
01:33:32.560 --> 01:33:38.479
with that I've talked to, just how it looks so human.

1479
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:41.560
It's it's and I haven't had a visual yet myself,

1480
01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:46.000
but that'll be a hopefully that happens someday. We'll see.

1481
01:33:46.079 --> 01:33:52.239
But Karen, it has been a pleasure talking to you tonight.

1482
01:33:52.279 --> 01:33:55.800
Thank you for sharing what you've experienced over the years.

1483
01:33:56.640 --> 01:34:01.920
Well, thank you for being there to feel comfortable to

1484
01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:02.760
share with.

1485
01:34:03.000 --> 01:34:03.520
I listen.

1486
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:08.319
I put my EarPods in at work and I listened

1487
01:34:08.399 --> 01:34:10.239
to you all the time.

1488
01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:12.319
I appreciate that.

1489
01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:12.800
Thank you.

1490
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:17.039
Yeah, that's awesome, and I just got to like, you know,

1491
01:34:17.119 --> 01:34:19.119
after you listen to you for a while, you know,

1492
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:23.199
you become more comfortable. And I know that people are

1493
01:34:23.239 --> 01:34:25.960
not going to make fun of me, and I don't

1494
01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:30.039
really worry about that because I know what happened to me.

1495
01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:33.439
I know what I experienced and what I saw, and

1496
01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:36.880
I now know that after years later, all the audio

1497
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:39.359
that's came out, I know that what my dad and

1498
01:34:39.399 --> 01:34:41.279
I heard when I was a little kid.

1499
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:48.239
Was a sasquatch, absolutely so loud. It was so loud.

1500
01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:52.000
If anything else happens to you in the future, we

1501
01:34:52.039 --> 01:34:54.119
would love to hear about it. But thank you so

1502
01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:57.600
much for coming up, Karen, Thank you, thank you for

1503
01:34:57.640 --> 01:35:00.319
listening to this episode of The Big Society Podcast Asked.

Every encounter we share reminds us that the world is

1505

01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:08.840
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
