You've got the privilege of talking to Tommy today. Tommy's

15
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.119
an individual that I saw a comment from on the

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.840
YouTube channel and try my best to read through all

17
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.920
those and he had mentioned that he had an interesting

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.679
thing happened down there in Webster County, Kentucky. So thankfully

19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.280
we were able to have back and forth going on

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.319
and was able to invite him onto the show to

21
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.480
share what he experienced. So welcome to the show, Tommy.

22
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:12.040
How's it going?

23
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.799
I was pretty good. I'm glad to be.

24
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.640
Here absolutely well, you know, Tommy, I'm excited to have

25
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.879
you here. And I would say, you know, feel free.

26
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.239
I'm gonna hand things over to you, and feel free

27
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.159
to take us back to you know, when you started experience,

28
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.159
or when you had this experience down in Webster County, Kentucky,

29
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.120
and we'll take it from there.

30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.519
Okay, then, well, as you said in the beginning there,

31
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.000
I commented on a YouTube comment from another episode. I

32
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.959
believe the episode was six twenty seven. It dealt with Kyle,

33
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.040
who is also from Webster County. He was in the

34
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.359
Clay area, which I am familiar with the Clay area,

35
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:14.400
and he mentioned an old mine coal mine that had

36
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.319
been there. I'm not really familiar where that area is,

37
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.520
although I've got a pretty good idea where it is.

38
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.000
And he mentioned white Oak area, which I do know

39
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.520
where it is. But later on in his a kilt

40
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.240
he spoke of squirrel hunting, and if I'm not mistaken,

41
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.000
he said Pool Pool is in Webster County, and that

42
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.879
got my attention as I have experienced something in the

43
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.400
Pool area. This was many years ago. It was about

44
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:56.960
nineteen seventy eight. Nineteen seventy nine. There is an area

45
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.479
you know, this is a rule area, and there they're

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.280
thickets and so forth. Here a lot of woods, there's

47
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.960
a lot of farm ground there, there's some logging roads.

48
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.240
There's a lot of oilfield roads here that are abandoned.

49
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.960
And there was this thicket I guess you could call it.

50
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.280
That was only the old abandoned orfield road that a

51
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.879
lot of young people used to go back when I

52
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.919
was young, and uh, four wheel drive was a big

53
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.840
thing then. People were you know, trying to mud, trying

54
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.120
to get see if they can go through mud and stuff.

55
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:41.439
And uh, there was this area was like I said,

56
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.319
it was an oil field road, but it made kind

57
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.879
of a cult de sac there and we used to

58
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.840
go back there and just hang out and we'd take

59
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:53.360
girls riding back there, try scare of the stuff like that. Well,

60
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:02.000
this happened in excuse me, uh, probably late September or

61
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.840
early October, like I said, nineteen seventy eight and seventy nine.

62
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.599
There was some friends of mine, they were six of us.

63
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:19.920
We had went back in this area just to goof

64
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.639
of off. It was late at night and for one

65
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.879
was the very few times that we ever got out

66
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.959
of a vehicle and walked up into the woods. One

67
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.040
of these individuals that was there, he had an older

68
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.040
brother and a brother in law who had rabbit honted

69
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:49.000
on this property before, and they always talked about the footsteps.

70
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.839
They talked about that basically they got paced out of

71
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.079
the woods or ran out of the woods, and they

72
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:06.040
never did put no way exactly what happened. And a

73
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.160
lot of times, as those stories go, we didn't know

74
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.839
really where to believe it or not. It's when those

75
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.000
says you can't take with a grain of salt. But anyway,

76
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.920
we went up in these woods that night and we

77
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.879
kind of paired up, you know, a left flank right

78
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.480
flank point. We had some flashlights and we were just

79
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:32.680
walking up through there, kind of exploring the room, and

80
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.240
we came to an area of the woods I guess

81
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.639
the where we were first going uh into the woods,

82
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.560
I guess it was it was pretty easy going, but

83
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.959
we came to an area that was really grown up,

84
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:52.120
which I suppose the area that was easy going probably

85
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.000
been uh logged out maybe at one time or another.

86
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.560
But we came to this area that was really thick.

87
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:05.399
It was it was like a wall, and the fellow

88
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.879
that I was partnered with, I was on the left flank.

89
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.560
We stopped for a minute right there at that heavy growth,

90
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.519
and I don't remember if he said this first or

91
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.920
if I said this first, because it was a really

92
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.319
quiet night, and we said, do you hear that? Do

93
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.480
you hear And we got to listening into the night,

94
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.920
and this place is. You know, we're out in the country.

95
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.920
We're not near any kind of home, we're not near

96
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:47.800
any kind of town or anything. And we both could

97
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:54.560
hear this. It sounded just like little kids playing on

98
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.120
a school ground, and it was really faint, and we

99
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.240
could hear it, and we were looking at one another.

100
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.480
We're thinking, you know, it's one o'clock in the morning

101
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.600
out here, there's no way that this could be going on.

102
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.040
There's nothing kids around here. And we thought that was really,

103
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.160
really odd. And we proceeded to work our way up

104
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.560
to the thick brush, which the right flank guys and

105
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.560
the point guys they had already gotten somewhat ahead of us,

106
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.360
and at some point there the guy that was in

107
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.839
the point, two guys that were in the point, I

108
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.279
recognized his voice. He yelled out kind of a loud voice,

109
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:49.079
and he said, catch up some of the buck or

110
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.639
something similar to that, and then there was a lot

111
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.079
of confusion. People were sweeping, jaggling around with their lights

112
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.839
and I could hear other talking and people as the

113
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.560
people that it was in our company, you could tell

114
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.959
that people were moving fast, and so my partner, now,

115
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.199
we tried to move up as best we could, but

116
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:21.079
we probably weren't moving quite as fast as the others. Well,

117
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.759
matter of fact, I know we weren't because they had

118
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.399
a pretty good jump on us. And as we were

119
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.120
moving up through there, we hear a big splash. Well,

120
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:41.320
then a few minutes seconds, I don't know. You lose

121
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:47.799
track of time when you're in that situation, we hear

122
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:54.600
another splash. Well, when we finally make our way so

123
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:59.919
far up, there's a creek back there that we didn't know.

124
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.919
We had no idea that creek was back there. And

125
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.720
one of the guys in the point he was climbing

126
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.399
out of that creek, he said he ran off and

127
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.720
ran away from the flashlight, giving chase to whatever it

128
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.759
was he was giving chase to. Then he ran off

129
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.080
on the street. And then one of the guys from

130
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.440
the right point he was also climbing out of the

131
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:27.080
street and we ran up there and we said, what

132
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.240
what is happening? What's what are you doing? And he

133
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.480
kept saying, it's a man, it's a man. And we

134
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.440
asked him what he saw and he said, we were

135
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.480
making our way up to there, just like the rest

136
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.960
of you, and there was something that was laying on

137
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:51.679
the ground. He said. He jumped up and he said

138
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.960
all I could make out was that it was a

139
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.600
black shape. And I'm saying, well, was he tall, was

140
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.759
he shore? Was it thin, fat? Whatever? And he says, well,

141
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.759
it's uh, it's about the same size as we are.

142
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:13.240
And uh so at that point, you know where there's

143
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.080
like six of us, when we get to accusing each

144
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.320
other pranking out there, you know, you guys did this,

145
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.720
you guys did and everybody saying no, no, we did not,

146
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.639
and uh so we kind of grouped together. We mark

147
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.519
our way back down to where we have parked our

148
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:37.799
trucks and uh oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you

149
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.360
say that when he said it was a man and man,

150
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.519
he also said at one point he said he was

151
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.720
wearing a backpack. He said, a backpack like a soldier,

152
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.360
which that kind of didn't make any sense to us.

153
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.799
But he said this, but he didn't say it was

154
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.480
no bigger than we were, you know, we we're your

155
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:02.879
average teams were like five, ten hundred and thirty pounds. Like. Oh, anyway,

156
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.279
we're back a way back down to the truck, and

157
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.159
we are standing around the truck and everybody is telling

158
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.039
what they experienced in the woods there. Well, my partner

159
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.080
and I we bring up those voices and nobody else

160
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.480
heard those. We were saying, did anybody else hear that?

161
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.960
And they were saying no, no, and uh. As we

162
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.879
were standing there the truck, there were three pickups and

163
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.399
we were kind of parked in the line with a

164
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.679
pickup that was in the middle that we no one

165
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:44.240
was standing around at that point. There's thereabouts something. Uh

166
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.200
there's a here the beating on the on the like

167
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:52.559
the bed of that truck and uh, it's like three times.

168
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.440
He's pretty loud, and we're we're looking at one another second,

169
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.519
what is that? And so some of us we went

170
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.799
down that way to check it out. Not a thing.

171
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:10.799
We couldn't find a thing. And so we make our

172
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.360
way back up to the other truck and we're almost

173
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:19.360
we're worthin three feet of the other truck, and there's

174
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.240
beating on that truck on the side, like the side bed.

175
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.720
We are all standing right there, We're looking at one another.

176
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.840
We're saying, there's no way that none of us did it,

177
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.480
because we're all standing right here. And it was really

178
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.759
hard on that truck. I mean, we could see the

179
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:47.360
truck shake move, and we really did become frightened. I

180
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:52.480
know I became frightened, and we pretty much scattered and

181
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.519
everybody grabbed whatever pickup they could get in, and we

182
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.960
got out of there because he just went He really

183
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.039
freaked us out. And every now and then, my friend

184
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.159
that I was with that night, we're still friends. We're

185
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:14.639
going on fifty years friends, and we'll get together sometimes.

186
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.480
I still have a lot of contact with him, and.

187
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.519
I well, sometimes we'll bring this up and I say,

188
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.840
you remember, back when we were down there, that beating

189
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.919
on the truck happened, And he'd say, yeah, I remember that.

190
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:34.279
And I'd say, what do you think that was? And

191
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.799
he say, I don't know. He said, I have no

192
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.039
idea what that was. And I really don't have any

193
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.440
idea either. Was it subsquash? I don't know, but I

194
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.919
know there's been. There are several things that have taken

195
00:13:50.000 --> 00:14:01.120
place here. Was it paranormal? I don't know, Kentucky, this area,

196
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.480
there's there's there's a lot of weird things that happened here.

197
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.679
There really are.

198
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.559
But I start I listened to some of these podcasts

199
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.840
like this one, a couple others that I've heard, and

200
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.840
I've heard as I went along and listened to different

201
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.200
people's accounts, I have.

202
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:31.639
Noticed similarities in these accounts, and it makes me think, now,

203
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:37.679
nearly fifty years later, and maybe we did come across,

204
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.919
uh something, Maybe we did travel across the Sasquatch. Maybe

205
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.559
it was a juvenile, maybe not. I don't know, but

206
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:53.399
it's it's very interesting. You know, up until that time,

207
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.240
we had it never entered our mind back then about

208
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.840
a Sasquatch or a bigfoot, whatever you don't call it,

209
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.480
because we didn't. You know, media wasn't back then. It

210
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.960
wasn't like it is today, so we had limited knowledge.

211
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:17.720
I though I had seen probably the Patterson Field maybe

212
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:21.919
I was about probably, I don't know, ten years old maybe,

213
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:29.320
and when I saw it, I didn't I didn't quite

214
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.639
believe it. Even as you know, a kid like that,

215
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.960
I thought well, that's some guy to see. So I

216
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.840
didn't quite didn't quite buy into it. And then I

217
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:49.000
was another thing that I mentioned in my comments. We

218
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.080
also had knowledge of what is known in this area

219
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:59.600
as the spontual monster. The sponsual monster is well documented

220
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:05.679
cold you can go online and find it. We live

221
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:15.240
about twenty five miles northeast of Spotsville, Kentucky. Spotsville, Kentucky,

222
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.720
is on the Green River. It's in the Green River bottoms.

223
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.679
With this area it's kind of called the Ohio Valley.

224
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.440
We are, it's sort of a triangle between the Green

225
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:33.120
River the Ohio River. We're not too far from Illinois,

226
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:41.559
We're not too far from the Shawnee National Forest and

227
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:51.200
so the proximity. But Spotsville Monster went on for probably

228
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.120
this farm family that had really this farmhouse down in

229
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:02.639
the bottoms. They were plagued by a creature probably for

230
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.640
a year. And it made news here. It made the

231
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:13.559
local news, it made newspapers, and uh there is a family,

232
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.599
uh that just one family that lived there, and uh

233
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.480
it's uh it's well documented. Uh you could you could

234
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:27.920
look it up yourself online. And uh there's just a

235
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.279
lot of odd happens here, like I say, I never

236
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:36.880
did know what exactly took place with us. We never did.

237
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.759
I never did go back to that area myself. You know,

238
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:49.799
I've heard that Sasquatch's territorial. Ah, so I just stayed

239
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:57.759
away from there. Now, that's about the extent of my story.

240
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:04.279
I have heard that speculation that people think that the

241
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:12.640
spots Field Monster perhaps his dog Man. But that's the speculation,

242
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.839
and that's about the extending my story. I've related this

243
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.119
story well, I didn't relate it to until probably about

244
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:30.400
the last year because I started noting similarities on these podcasts.

245
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.759
But I never told himboy Local here that I know

246
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.119
some of these podcasts. You know, you're able to people

247
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.839
are able to comment on them. I don't know why

248
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:46.519
people monitor these podcasts if they are going to make

249
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.680
I don't know how to worry about the comments that

250
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.119
are try to discredit someone or try to belittle someone

251
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.680
and what they saw they're killed. I will say that

252
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.119
I don't know. Like I said, I don't know what

253
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.640
happened with Man, but I don't care what anybody says.

254
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.240
I know what happened, and and I'll say that to

255
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.160
the day I die.

256
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.799
It's such a such a fascinating account, and you know,

257
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.240
thank you for thank you for sharing it.

258
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.359
Tommy. Did you guys ever go back to that area

259
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:29.960
after that?

260
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.599
I did not. I've never went back to that area.

261
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.279
I have driven past it, like on on a black

262
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.960
top road, but to get off and go back in

263
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.640
that area.

264
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:51.240
No, growing up in that area and going to school

265
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.640
and and all that good stuff. Did you ever hear

266
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:01.799
other similar stories or you know, people talking about you know,

267
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.119
weird things in the woods or is it just a

268
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:11.000
thing that people didn't really talk about it back then?

269
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:16.319
Excuse me, well people didn't. People aren't too open and

270
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.720
back there. You have to know someone pretty way up

271
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.839
before they will tell you, ah, those kind of stories. Here,

272
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:28.000
you have to kind of gain their trust before before

273
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.960
they tell you those kind of things. And then, as

274
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.680
as with anybody, you have to separate what is uh,

275
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.200
somebody is for real and somebody who's just making up

276
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:42.680
the story?

277
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:52.359
Right the go ahead, ghead, I was gonna ask.

278
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.200
It's it's really interesting the part when you hear what

279
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:09.119
sounds like kids in the woods playing on like a playground. Now,

280
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:14.680
did you say playground because just of it sounded like

281
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.839
they were having a good time or was it because

282
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:22.519
you were also hearing things that maybe sounded metallic or

283
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.359
kind of like playground equipment.

284
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.440
No, it didn't sound like it didn't sound like playground equipment.

285
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.160
It's just the noise of was the noise of children

286
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.440
that you would hear if you were passion at school

287
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:43.119
ground that where you would hear children maybe yell out

288
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:47.680
or laugh or giggle or whatever. That is the vocal part.

289
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.960
Was it possible to hear what they were saying or

290
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.720
was it also a thing where it just was very

291
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.200
high hard to make out actual words.

292
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.559
It was one of those things where you could almost

293
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:12.000
hear it but not quite Yeah, I mean you could

294
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.319
almost make it out, but not quiet.

295
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.240
It's it's such a weird thing. I've experienced that too

296
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.480
in Iowa, and really.

297
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.680
Not not that it was.

298
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.200
Sound like little kids, but it's that thing that people

299
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.599
say where they're like you almost hear mumbling in the woods,

300
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.160
and it's like you can almost hear what they're saying,

301
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.480
but you can't figure it out, and it's just it's

302
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.680
the weirdest thing. It does kind of mess with you

303
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.880
because you're like, I wish you knew what they were saying,

304
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.000
but it's just it's very, very, very strange stuff. The

305
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:59.559
other interesting thing you brought up was that it was

306
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:04.799
said that it was wearing a backpack like a soldier. Yes,

307
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.519
do you have any thoughts about what that could have

308
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:10.440
possibly meant?

309
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.359
I really don't. I mean, I can make some guesses

310
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:29.759
at it. If this was indeed something Sasquatch related, it

311
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.119
could be the I've heard that they have great muscle

312
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.759
mass around their shoulder area. It could have been that.

313
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.720
It could have been the bulk of the shoulder area.

314
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:49.519
If it's something paranormal, well, this particular area, we have

315
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:56.880
another county about probably about fifteen miles to the west

316
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:03.240
of US that, uh many years ago, well the forties,

317
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.640
late forties, mid forties, there was there was an army

318
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:13.319
base here, uh an army camp, and in this army

319
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:25.000
camp during World War Two kept German prisoners. This army

320
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.680
base is probably of course it's long gone, the base

321
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.000
is long gone or the camp is long gone. But

322
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:41.359
it was about a thirty six thousand acres installation. Ah,

323
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:44.359
that's just speculation.

324
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.400
Wow, that is a really interesting piece of information. That

325
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.039
makes you wonder though.

326
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.359
Mm hmm.

327
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:57.359
Was it something.

328
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:01.000
That that that would come up quite a bit in like,

329
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:05.759
uh lore of the area, like there's a you know,

330
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.960
you'd see the ghosts of the the prisoners or or

331
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.759
anything like that.

332
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.240
Not to my knowledge, I've never heard of anything like that.

333
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:30.480
Interesting you had mentioned in maybe it was I might

334
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:36.759
have taken it heard it differently. But the area that

335
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.119
this took place in, was it known for any other

336
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:43.480
weird stuff as well?

337
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.720
Well? Just like everything, you know, Also when you have

338
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.480
a bunch of young kids together, young boys together, Yeah,

339
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.519
they're people had stated that they we were back there

340
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.519
and this happened, and that happened. But like you know,

341
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.160
you can pretty well tell when somebody's you know, bowl

342
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:10.440
and smoke and most of this, most of them you

343
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:18.000
could laugh them off. Uh really ah ah. There were

344
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:25.319
you know, reports of like I said, the footsteps. Although

345
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:31.640
the first people I talked about that talked about footsteps,

346
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:36.160
they were credible. Other people talked about it that were

347
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:45.960
just probably copycats. There was a group of people, a

348
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.880
group of guys I knew, that claimed to have seen

349
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.559
a pink cloud back there, But they were the kind

350
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.440
of guys that probably if there was a pink cloud,

351
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:09.119
they probably made it theirselves actually, right, So so you

352
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.000
kind of don't take that one serious.

353
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:19.000
Yeah, yeah, it's it is interesting when you see these well,

354
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:22.119
I'll say it like this, It is interesting when you

355
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:25.759
have an area that has like bigfoot activity to also

356
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:31.039
look at the reports that have come in from the

357
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:36.920
other side, which would be like the paranormal community or

358
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:42.720
the ghost hunters, and sometimes those reports you can read

359
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.160
those through like the viewpoint of someone who's in a

360
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.279
big foot and you can be like, oh, I mean

361
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.559
this is totally not this is not a ghost thing.

362
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:57.279
I mean that that those are those are some some

363
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.480
bigfoot activity. They're just looking at it through a different

364
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.640
a different lens. So it can be interesting to kind

365
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.440
of do that when you're looking into an area. But

366
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:17.160
did this uh, did this experience that you had, did

367
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.200
it affect you in any way as you continued to

368
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:22.880
grow up with the rest of your life?

369
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.559
Not now? Uh, And it was. It was something that

370
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.559
was always in the back of my mind, but it

371
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.119
never deterred me from going to the woods or anything.

372
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.119
You know. Uh, this is a hont culture. Here we

373
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.480
we deer hut, we we coon hunt, we uh, squirrel

374
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.440
hunt whatever. I mean. We're we're in the woods quite

375
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.880
a bit here. Uh. It never deterred me from going out,

376
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.079
but it was always something that was in the back

377
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.319
of my mind, and especially in these later years, as

378
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:01.279
I've heard more and more and more accounts, I'm thinking, Hey,

379
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:03.559
maybe there's there's something to the.

380
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.400
Absolutely. I mean, it's h.

381
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:10.960
Is.

382
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:17.400
It's it's wild the amount of people that are coming

383
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:21.480
out across the build. And I'm not just talking about

384
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:25.920
mine or you know, any of the other podcasts. When

385
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.039
you like look at the whole picture and you look

386
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:32.599
at all the podcasts that are out there and the

387
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.680
YouTube channels, i mean, there's a massive, massive amount of

388
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:42.880
people that are in this time period, like just all

389
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.480
of a sudden depending or deciding let's let's get everything

390
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:51.599
out there. It's just really interesting to watch. It's it's

391
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:55.319
even more interesting when you're just trying to keep up

392
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:58.599
with your email because it's like every day.

393
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.359
It would blow your mind.

394
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:02.680
It's pretty cool, though, to be able to talk to

395
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:10.480
two people. I'm sure that you've thought, You've probably thought

396
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.119
about that night more.

397
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:13.640
Than a few times.

398
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:18.599
If you could go back and experience that night over again,

399
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.119
would there be anything that you would do differently that night?

400
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:35.279
Probably not? Probably not it even though I go out

401
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.519
in the woods and stuff. I won't go out by

402
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.519
myself here. I have to have somebody with me because

403
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:46.119
it doesn't I can spook pretty easy there. There are

404
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:48.680
noises and things in the woods at night time. That's

405
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:56.119
you know, that'll spook you. And oh, I should mention also,

406
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:02.279
I forgot that talking about spots. That happened was in

407
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.640
nineteen seventy five, which means I was in hospital at

408
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:06.039
the time.

409
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.400
Okay, so that.

410
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.720
And we didn't take me have been a hospital student.

411
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.319
We didn't really take it seriously. But I'll take it

412
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.799
seriously more seriously now than I did. I forgot about that.

413
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.599
I should have included that earlier.

414
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.240
It's such a weird thing in I mean, you can

415
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:38.920
look at any state and the amount of bigfoot activity

416
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:44.640
that is out there in especially like the mid to

417
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.799
late seventies, it's a lot. I mean, I'm from Iowa

418
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.759
and just the amount that we have up here in

419
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:55.400
Iowa from that time frame is absolutely bonkers. And I'm

420
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:58.960
sure there's probably some I don't know, maybe there's not

421
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.319
a logical explanation for it, really, I mean, which would

422
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.960
be fine. Not everything has to have logical explanation, but

423
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:11.480
just it's some some wild wild stuff. You know, thinking

424
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:18.559
about bigfoot in general, do you have any theories or

425
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:23.720
ideas about what it is that could be out there

426
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.920
when we're talking about bigfoot in general?

427
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:36.920
Well, you mean, what do I what do I think bigfoot? Yeah? Sure, yeah,

428
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:45.920
Well bigfoot shows, if there is such a thing, it's

429
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:51.799
what I've heard. It shows a lot of physical science. Uh,

430
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:57.319
they're they're male and female, they raise young, they eat,

431
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.799
they leave scat, that kind of thing. They leave physical footprints,

432
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:08.000
they leave tree structures or tree whatever they call those,

433
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:16.599
so and so and that. Yes, it's physical, but there

434
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:27.759
are also things that people report that seem unnatural. I

435
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:35.440
think Bigfoot is a master of camouflage. I think that

436
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:44.440
people say, we were tracking this and it disappeared, and

437
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:51.000
they are credit some of the abilities to unnatural or

438
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.839
supernatural or something like that. I'm not so sure about that.

439
00:33:55.240 --> 00:34:00.720
Although they probably do have some abilities that that man can,

440
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.079
that's not it. I believe Bigfoot to be a flesh

441
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:18.239
and blood creature. Uh is Bigfoot a or something of that,

442
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:24.519
something of that source. I don't believe. So is big

443
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:29.079
Foot of man? I don't believe so. I believe they're

444
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:34.559
kind of their own thing, kind of their own specie.

445
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.199
Yeah, I agree with you that it is.

446
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.320
I think it's it's one of the last great mysteries

447
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.559
that we have, although there's probably some people out there

448
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.960
where it's not a not a mystery too. We just

449
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:56.920
don't have all the info recording that yet. But it is, uh,

450
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:01.199
you know, I kind of have a similar thinking, which

451
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:06.039
it is something leaving physical tracks, but it's also able

452
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:10.760
to do some really really weird stuff that is about

453
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:16.519
it's outside the realm of our current scientifics understanding, at

454
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:21.639
least the stuff that the common public is aware of.

455
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:22.000
Now.

456
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.719
There might be some scientists out there where they're just

457
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:29.159
starting to kind of get it but they haven't connected

458
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.880
all the dots yet, and who knows what dots will

459
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:36.280
be connected in the future. But you know, each each

460
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:41.760
conversation kind of helps connect dots, I think, and that's

461
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:44.400
what that's what half.

462
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:44.880
The fun is.

463
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.320
But Tommy, it has been a just a fun conversation

464
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:54.440
with you. I mean, this is another part of history

465
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:58.960
of the county down here in Kentucky. And thank you

466
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:04.679
for providing this information. Another anecdotal story. And you know,

467
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:09.199
who knows what someone might be able to provide after

468
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:12.639
hearing this and you know, connect some more dots. But

469
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:14.280
I just want to say thank you so much for

470
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:16.519
