It looks like let's look at shep here steps is in Southeast Idea.

1:00 All right, hey, set, thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what you experienced out there in Southeast Idaho? Okay, which starter is growing up? My dad worked for Department of Conservation in Illinois. So I grew up in the woods where I feel like it's my second home, and I'm at my now current fiance and she lived in southeast Idaho, about fifteen minutes away from Caribou National Forest, which is right down there, runs along the border with Utah, along Wyoming and Montana border. It's just a massive place, and so growing up it'd always been more of a I didn't wonder if Bigfoot existed. I always believed it did.

1:46 I saw firsthand how easy it'd be for a deer to hide in the woods, and you do not know it's there until you're on it, so it'd be impossible. It's definitely on my radar. So we went up there and we started going out to Caribou National Forest, and I moved out there January twelfth of twenty twenty two. And so we'd drive through the roads going up the mountain, and again, like I said, we're fifteen minutes away from anywhere. And one of the first things I noticed was these footprints that kind of went sideways up the hill, going at an angle upward, not straight up, but more like we would go up a hill in the snow, and I saw some snowshoe tracks, maybe twenty yards or so off from there, So that kind of stood out to me because they were obviously these were different and I wear size eleven shoe. The footprints were about twice as wide as mine and maybe my shoe size plus half my shoes size again long. So that was the first, Okay, there's maybe something out here, and then we kept going out.

2:56 One night we were parked by this place Cherry Springs and Scout Mountain was up behind us, and we at this point started really looking for bigfoot because I wanted to know for sure. And one night my fiance goes, hey, I just want to see something and turned around, faced up the mountain and let out a whoop, and of course we weren't expecting anything, but about a minute later we got one back and we just spun our head back was like, what was that, which, of course anybody that's had any type of experience knows it becomes addicting. At that point you want to keep going. So one night we left the kiddo with the sitter and we went out to do night hiking and it was full moon, snow on the grounds. Of course, it just reflects you can see forever without needing a flashlight or anything. We park and we're going along this trail side and going in, we go through this opening and the fence and there's about twenty five yards it just open flat land, and then there's a cliff face that is then as you're going in on the left side of the trail. So we're walking along the cliff face and we start to get to the trail line and we just start getting it this really uneasy feeling, and so we decide let's just turn around, trust our instinct. And as we're walking

4:26 back out, I happened to look up the cliff face and just saw what looked like some sort of figure poking their head over and then pull back and did nonchalantly captain eye on it. And about every minute or so you would see it do it again. My fiance she goes, what are you looking at? I go just nonchalantly just look up up at the top of the cliff and we're walking. I know, she just glanced up. She goes, what was that? I go, ig, exactly, I don't know, but we need to go. We're clearly being watched. So we left that area, went to another trailhead and we're just sitting there in the car when wrapping everything.

5:13 The headlights were pointed down the trail into the trees, and I just pointed out that there was red eye shine and I'm like, oh cool, and look down. It was maybe three feet off the ground. I'm thinking, Okay, it could be a fox, it could be a rabbit sitting on a rock, could be any of these things. All all of a sudden it raised up to about seven and a half feet, And initially I wanted to say it was an owl that flew up to a higher perch, but you kind of it's not. So that was kind of captives going back, capt Us going back, kept us going back. We'd go off the trailways and we'd find weird things. There was this I don't want to call it a nest, but lin't really a shelter that easily could have been made by people. Had had like branches stacked vertically around like this bramble bush. And when you went around the backside you see where different areas have been cleared out, and there was like a plank of woodsitd on top of rocks, and they very much a human until I got to the one side of it where there was a deer carcass, it was just in pieces. There were bones everywhere. One of the bones looked like it had been clean broken, not cut, not chewed on. And anybody that has ever done any hunting in a place where you got bears, you got wolves, you got predators, you're not going to have your kill in your campsite.

6:39 You are not. You are asking for trouble, especially a place where there's one way in and one way out your corner. You're not going to do it. So that kind of just struck me as weird. And so then it was probably, i want to say, March of twenty twenty two, and we went down to the same place and we were parked and had the headlights shining down this path. We're about fifty yards down the path. There's a creek that runs through there, and we're sitting there and we hear a mountain lying down by the streams, and we can hear it going from what would be our left to our right. We're it's far enough away that we're not really that worried about it, but we've been out there enough that we have bear spray, we have machete we have lights, we have walking sticks, everything but a firearm.

7:34 You don't go out there stupidly. We have a way to somewhat protect ourselves. So we're just not thinking anything of it, listening to it, and all of a sudden, it goes oh, it just takes off running. So I go h something scared it, And Anya told me to be quiet because she could hear something. When I listened, you could hear something walking through the stream, and so my first thought was, okay, we got big bear coming in, not uncommon with where we were, and we could hear a grunting, and you just heard it getting closer and closer. So I grabbed the bear mace and I was ready for whatever. And we're sitting there and I'm looking down the walkway and we hear a whoop back up the mountain behind us. Annia looked over it, turns over her left shoulder because she was in driver's sea, looks back that way, and I kept looking down the path and there was about a fifteen foot opening, and in a matter of three steps, this dark, huge, probably seven and a half eight foot massive thing on two eggs cleared that opening and three steps and disappeared into the sagebrush on the other side, and I go, did you see that?

8:57 And Annie goes, see what now? I was looking back up. We gotta go. She goes, what I go, We need to go. She goes, what do you mean? And we hear hut out of what would have been my side of the car. I just to put it to start the car. Let's go, So she did. We started driving back and she was like, what'd you see? And I'm like, I don't know. She goes, what do you mean? I go, and of course I'm running through my head bigfoot or not big, but I'm rounding through my head, black beard, mouse, run through my head? What's all the wildlife out there? And I go, it had to have been It had to have been him. She goes, what do you mean. I go, I think I saw a bigfoot. She goes, what do you mean. I go, there is nothing in these woods that is that color and that size that would walk upright, that would clear that distance in that time and just absolutely disappear under it. I go, there's nothing else that could have been but that. So a few weeks went by a gun comer and we had adopted a husky at this point, and she went to go back out with a friend of ours and we went back on the same trails, same area, and we didn't definitively see anything. And this was our last trip out because we were moving to Illinois, and then subse

10:27 we ended up in Oklahoma and now we're in Texas. But our buddy Nathan was with us, and every so often we would just see what looked about the same as height wise figured just peek out from the trees and then pull back in. But that was all we ever saw. But when we'd go out there, like during the day or whatever, we'd go to certain places and we'd be out there probably ten fifteen minutes also and we would just get a single h and that would be it, and we just keep what we were doing. It almost seemed to almost get to the point where we were out there so much that it knew we were there, and it was saying, I know you're here, I'm here, You're fine over there. You come over here, and it's gonna be a different story. That was hard experience.

11:18 Were there any weird smells when you were out there? Ever? Not really smells. We didn't. I don't recall any strange smells there were definitely strange noises, like birds that shouldn't be awake at night, but that didn't quite sound like birds. There'd just be we'd see shadows, like I said, poking up from between the trees. And going back, we found one area that I wish i'd have backed up the photos when I got my new phone, But there was one area where it came down this ravine and there was a bunch of really big ferns, I had massive them and everything you get through them. And then there's this clearing where it looked like everything had been cleared down or cleared out, and there was a circle of stones maybe a foot and a half wide, with a stone in the middle, and then just one stick sticking straight up at the one end. And it just seems so out of place. That we're well off the trail.

12:26 There should be no reason why this would be here, And so I took photos of it, and then afterwards and I can look through like old messenger messages see if I can still find the photos. But afterwards we were looking at it and there were a couple places where when we went through the photos you could almost see what looked like a footprint with the five toes and definitely a foot shape and it just things like that. But that was really the one and only time I at least saw something crystal clear that there's no there's no way it would have been a black bear. A black bear would never get that talk, even on its hind leggs. It would never ever reach that height. And black beerris don't walk on their hind leggs in the wild.

13:16 They don't. They'll raise up on them, they walk around, but they don't move on their hind legs. There's nothing. A wolf would never be that big, wouldn't walk on hind leggs. If you saw a moose walking on hind leggs, please get down video because that would be the funniest thing ever. But just I love that, I would love it. There's really just nothing out there that would have made sense to fit what I had seen. No, absolutely, And so you're down in Texas now you said, right, yeah, we're moving. I'm sure you probably check the websites to see if the area you're in and other states have bigfoot activity, and I do.

13:57 One place that we've gone I think twice was Goatman's Bridge Old aultin Bridge. Ye. There was some weird feelings there, but never anything to me to definitively say those legends are true, there's something there or anything like that. I haven't gotten to go to Texarcana or Big Ben or anywhere like that, unfortunately. But where we're going in Oklahoma is in the middle of nowhere. There's a bunch of woods around there, and I've never definitively seen anything there. But there was one night where Annie and I were standing at the edge of the driveway and something on the other side of the road was big enough to be shaking the trees around there, and so something just was shaking the trees, and it was clearly we were we need to get out of here, we need to go back to the house.

14:52 She had said that there'd be times where she'd hear something walking on the woods along the property, but we never definitively saw anything there. Interesting. Yeah, you definitely keep your eyes out when you're in Oklahoma because all over the state is some weird stuff going on with big Foot and dog Man. But shep thanks for coming up. I appreciate you sharing what you guys have experienced up there in Idaho. Yeah, not a problem. Thanks for having me appreciate it. You got it big for society. Will be right back after these messages. Hey outlaw, thanks for coming up. You got me, Yes, sir, school, So what brings you up? Sir?

15:49 Come at work? But I can tell you a story real quick. I actually live in Surrey, southeast Missouri, down round the Boodhill area. I'm not going to get my actual location, but we're surrounded by National Forestry, just thousands and thousands of miles of it. And I'm a hunter all my life, A hunted trap fish, all that my whole entire life. And my favorite thing to do is to bow hunt for white tails. Me and a bunch of my buddies one year went on a hog hunt expedition, and I will tell you where we went. Where we went to Paddy Creek Conservation Area. I don't know if you've ever heard of that or not.

16:40 Haven't. No, I'm looking it up. It's very kind of mountainous terrain and wilderness, just miles and miles. We never heard any hogs in the three day time that we was there. We saw a lot of sign but I also saw lots of other activity of wildlife that you don't normally around here too. Much. I found really big cat tracks, really big bear tracks, things of that sort, which I thought that was cool because that's just not something we see every day around here. And the area that we were hunting, we had to drive down this gravel road long ways and it actually ended at the river. But every day when we went hunting, we would drive past this farm down this gravel road and it looked like pretty big farm. And this guy had a bunch of hogskulls on fence posts, so that tells me he's hog hunter. I thought about stopping and talking to him a few times while we were down there, but I didn't. I just you don't know people and you're out in the boonie, so it's just one of them deals. Well, our last day, when we were leaving, I told the guys, I was like, I want to stop here and I want to go talk to this guy and ask him about the hogs. By that way, if we want to come back down here, we know where we're going and we're not just winging it. We stopped, I got out and I knocked on the door. As an old guy, he's probably in his seventies or eighties

18:12 at least, and he had three sons. They were all older around my age, and they all ran the farm together. And he told me he had twelve hundred acres or something. It was ridiculous amount of land. And I asked him about We were talking about hogs and stuff, but I told him, I was like, man, I bet you got some big deer in here. Oh yeah, deer everywhere in here. He said, just me and my family is the only ones that hunts it. He said, nobody will even stop and ask me if they can hunt. He said, if people wist, just ask me if they could hunt on me. I tell him yes, because he said, they just eat my crops up. And he I said, well, would you care if I'd picked a date and came down and made be bow hunted on you? And he's like, oh no, hey, give me his number and stuff and really really nice family.

19:08 So both season rolls around, I give the guy a call. He remembered who I was right off the bat, and we picked a week in and I drove all the way down and they had they actually had a camper outside, a couple of campers, and he told me, he said, oh, we'll just plug one of the campers in if you want to stay tonight, you stay in the camper. I said, oh, that sounds great. So I get down there and get all settled in and meet his wife and grandkids. We jump on the side by side and he just starts taking me around this place. Like we literally spent probably four hours driving around this farm. And he told me you could drive around the whole farm for two days and still not see everything. Big it was. And it took me to the one area it's way back in the back and nobody goes back there, and there's this great, big river bottom field. It's just full of grass like I guess they troublely used it to cut hay, is the only thing I can think of, because there wasn't any cattle back in that area. And I looked around and there was deer sign everywhere. Just if that was my spot, and plus I was going to be way away from everybody else, I wouldn't have to worry about bothering anybody or getting in cows coming in on me, or anything like that. I have what's called a climbing

20:41 stand at the time, and you basically just hook it on a straight tree with no limbs and climb it up. So I found me a good spot. There was like a bottleneck where trails were all coming together as one trail. Great spot, and that's what I on the edge of this big, huge field. And this field's probably shoot, it's probably seven eight hundred yards like it's a you can see a long ways. And I had planned made a plan for the next day. I went out there and put my stand on the tree so it was already there, and then mark my trail so the next morning I could just walk straight in. I was gonna do an all day sit if I had to. So I get out there the next morning and I sat there. I seen deer. It was not it was an eventful day.

21:36 There was just deer and wildlife glore, and it was a great time. And later in the evening, like afternoon, like once the sun started going down, I kept hearing this strange noise back in the woods behind me, like just brush popping, and every once in a while out here what sounded like just somebody just taking a big limb and snapping it. And the problem was back behind me. There was a little creek down the hill behind me somewhere, because I could hear it running. I could hear running water down there, but it was so brushy that I couldn't see behind me very good. My visibility was probably maybe fifteen feet by. It was bad, like a jungle.

22:32 And this went on and on for an hour or two, and it just I wouldn't hear it for a little bit, and then all of a sudden, I'd hear it. It sounded like a big animal moving around back in there. I'd every once in a while i'd stand up and turn around and look that direction to see because it sounded like I should be able to see it. Does that make sense to you, Yeah, absolutely. Like it literally sounded like it was close enough to me out there that I should be able to see something. But there was just so much foliage and brush in my way I couldn't see anything. So and I had deer everywhere out in front of me out in this field.

23:13 I'm trying to pay attention to everything all at the same time. And then so it getting closer and closer to darkening, and then I can hear this thing. I heard it go across the water, because I could hear it walking in the gravel, and I could hear it like slashing through the creek water. And by this time It's coming up the hill straight towards me, and I'm like, what is going on? So I stood up and turned completely around backwards this time, just trying to see something. And every once in a while I felt like I could see like movement of limbs or like the brush moving around. And I'm looking at this coming like it literally sounds like it should be. It might have been forty yards behind me by that point, and I'm looking.

24:08 I don't see I can't see anything. I remember the wind changed on me and the wind started. It was hit in the back of my ears and was blowing straight in that direction, and the moment the wind swirled around and blew that direction whatever it was just stopped and was standing there like a statue like I couldn't hear anything anymore. I couldn't hear it moving, couldn't hear nothing, and just standing there, and I'm like, what in the world. And I've been in the woods all my life, and I've heard all kinds of animal sounds. I can usually identify everything I hear, but all of a sudden, and it gives me the whillies every time I think about it, All of a sudden, this thing makes this vocalization, and I'll do it the best that I can to give you an idea of what it sounded like. But I can't do it exactly like it was a big animal, whatever it was, and it makes it sound like more just like that, only a lot. I can't go as deep as it did. And immediately I was just like, what was that? And it turned around and just tore it down the hill, and I heard it jumping the creeks just like I could hear it splash in the water,

25:39 and it stood there again at the bottom of the hill. I knew it was in the water, and it made the blow sound almost I think whatever it was smelled me when the wind changed, and then it ran down the hill real quick. And then when it was into water, I think maybe it was down there trying to smell me again, and he had took a deep breath and then blew it out. And then this thing takes off barreling through the woods. And here's the really weird part. So it makes this loud sound that I've never heard before, tears down the hill, and then once it took off running out of the creek, I hear almost identical sound behind me. All the way across this whole valley, but it was a higher pitch. It was like amah, and it was a little like faster. It wasn't so more like the first one. And then I hear this, and it's a little bit higher pitch. But that thing was probably six seven hundred yards away across that field, and I heard it, and I was like, what was that?

26:53 Is that something answering to this? And I listened to this thing rununtil it got completely out of earshot of me, and I got down and got out of there before it got too dark, because I did have a side arm on me, just in case I run into hogs or something. But it made me nervous because the only thing I had was just a nine milimeter And then I had my bow and I got down and I wrapped my stuff up and I took it back and got all the way back to the farm, and everybody seemed surprised. They thought maybe I had shot something and needed help getting a deer out or something, and I just huh no. I just decided to get down early.

27:39 I'm actually going to have to leave tonight. I decided I wasn't going to stay the night. I was just going for the one day, and that was all I wanted to do. I didn't want to stay the whole weekend. So I mentioned that I heard some strange sound and strange noise back there, and the old guy, oh, you mean strange noise? And I told him the story he knew. He just giggled about it. And then one of the sons was in the kitchen at the time when we were talking about this, and he said, where which area was you at? And I told him the area of the farm that I was hunting on, and he just goes, huh, yeah, I'm not surprised. And then his mom, the old guy's wife, whispered something in the son's ear, and then they're going back and forth, but the old man's talking to me, so I'm trying to pay attention to what he's saying, and he just blew it off. All right, we're out here in the middle of nowhere, so you got all kind of animals out here that really ain't no telling what it was. But all my life I've been in the woods and still do to this day, and I'll keep doing it until I can't go anymore. And I've yet to ever hear whatever that sound was ever again, and I never went back. That was shoot, that was like back in probably two thousand and ten or something.

29:12 Never contacted him. I'm sure the old guy's passed away and everything by now, for sure, But I never went back. But they they acted very strange when I was talking about it. They all they didn't laugh it off like it was a joke. They just laughed, like, heard that weird sound. But the thing was, there was two of whatever it was, because one that other win, it was not an echo all the way across the valley. We're talking about probably forty seconds. This all took place, not even a minute, okay, And when this other one answered back behind me, like I said, it was a higher pitched sound, but it was the same sound. Do you understand what I'm getting that?

30:06 No, Absolutely, it definitely shows there was more than one there. Big for society who will be right back after these messages. I'm telling you right now. I walked out of that place, watching over my shoulder absolutely all the way till I got back four wheeler. I was just looking behind me, and I've never to this day ever heard that sound again.

30:47 But I never seen anything. I really wish that I could have at least seen what it was. I don't know that it was a sasquatch, but it was a big animal whatever it was. They knew what was there and they weren't talking about it. So if it's not satisquatch, it was something else weird that they didn't want to come out in the open ways. Yeah. Yeah, they None of them told me what it could be or anything like that. They didn't make any suggestions there is oh yeah you And then one of the boys, one of his other sons, he was like, yeah, every time I got to go over there and cut hey, I hear weirds out there at night and this and that, and he said, there ain't no we got big cats around here, and blah blah blah. I guess that's suggestion.

31:36 But it was not a cat. There's no way that it was a big cat. This thing was the bass and this thing's voice, like, the only thing that I could think of is possibly a bear. But we don't have big bears around here. Our bears are not like the bears up north. They're little black bears and honey bears and stuff. We don't have no four or five pound brown bears or anything like that. And I don't. I always wanted to go back and just check things out a little more, but I haven't. I don't even have their phone number anymore, and I wouldn't even really know exactly how it took the place.

32:20 Again. Oh man, what a store, what an account? Thank you for sharing that. That's just that is incredible. Thank you for sharing. Yeah, thanks for having me, man. All right, it gets you a little break off of work too, So thanks for coming up. Yeah, I got to get back to work. Actually, I appreciate you. Man, you I appreciate you too. Thanks for chatting. Man. Yeah, hey there, thanks for coming up. You're welcome to share what you've experienced. I didn't really expect to do this. I was just eating and scrolling. Okay. Yeah, you know. I'm a spiritual type of person. I guess you could call it twenty eleven. I don't know how to explain it, because I try to be careful with my words and nomenclatures, but I would call it a spiritual awakening or a consciousness awakening or whatever. In twenty eleven, and so with that said, I had started tapping into esoteric gnostics, meditation, yoga, salmanic breathing, and journeying reiki, and for some reason I intuitively became obsessed or I want to say obsessed, but I couldn't stop staring at the stars looking for whatever, just because something just landed in me. And needless to say, I started having a lot of shooting stars ORBS visits. I actually had an

33:55 experience against my will. I don't want to I'm not an abduction, and probably more than one. But the thing about that was is that I was in in reiki energy. I was learning as I was studying all kinds of stuff. The spiritual awakening, conscious awakening, whatever you want to call it, was during that time. You know, it started in twenty eleventh. October twenty eleven to January twenty twelve was like the beginning of all that and it's still going on to this very day. So with the Sabe, because I don't like to call them bigfoot, that'd be like calling you or me like four eyes, right because I wear glasses?

34:36 Is this that derogatory, lack of better understanding, filtered word bigfoot? I feel is just ridiculous name to call them. Because the Native Americans they call them the Sabe, and they are one of our seven great grandfathers and they represent honesty, not truth, but on. But with that said, this was I was having a night with some plant medicine. I was doing some very intensive intending, set and setting. I went out with my my substance out in the yard and it was nighttime and I had been star watching and orb searching and whatnot for months, and my mom had started watching the I think it was an animal planet had that finding Bigfoot or something like that. But I was like with my mom, I wasn't throwt It was like one of the first things they started throwing out there to give us some kind of sense of stuff.

35:37 It only took me about two shows to realize that show was garbage. But the thing about it is so I had a reverence, a love, a curiosity about them because I have seen and experienced paranormal supernatural things randomly throughout my life and not really realized what it was till after with hindsight. But we were I was in actually I was in South Carolina at the time, and this was eleven, twenty twelve. Right at the beginning of twenty twelve. I was outside with my plant medicine, with set and setting, intention to connect with and that was the thing. I was vague in my conscious affirmation of connecting, so I wasn't really particular on what I was going to connect with. And super long story short, I connected with a few different entities or aspects of reality, if you will, and one of them was the SABE and I was I was in my experience for hours and hours dealing with some other cryptids, if you will. And but it was very spiritual, Okay, you got to keep in mind it was this was a very spiritually encompassed and intended and energetic conscious place I was in mentally, consciously, physically, I was just emotionally. Everything was about connecting consciously to whatever it was I was spiritually waking up to or

37:10 consciously waking up to, because I think spirituality and consciousness is the same thing, if you will. And during this night, I had a couple different experiences with a couple different and there's quite a few experiences I had with this night. But when I got and I probably should just go through the whole story, but as a lengthy I could probably try to bloil it down a little bit, but I had Okay, I will, because we need that backstory. I think it's important because it all goes together with the experience I think because of where I consciously was. But I'll try to break it down and summarize it. I was dealing with an entity, if you will. But this was the first time that it was a very chamantic, spiritual and it wasn't just a recreational colors and reading and like just the normal stereotypical, base baseline recreational experience.

38:08 This was way different, my first way different somatic kind of experience. And I started dealing with the entity of some sort that I believe to be like I call them Squidty from the from the matrix because they were like the sentinels, but this was and the texture, but this thing was made out of light. I also called it squidty because it had tentacles that looked biomechanical. It was illuminescent and they were they morphed, and it was floating around in the sky like the one of the Marvel movies when the creatures came out and was swimming through our atmosphere as if it was water. It's very similar aspects which I saw that after this experience. So it's not like my brain put it together and created something that I couldn't handle. But as I dealt with this thing, I was interacting with it and felt that it was I felt that it was a malevolent type of thing. And a few weeks before or a week before, I was on a small microdose and I was looking up at the stars and I said, you could use me.

39:11 But I wasn't very specific with that either. So for anybody listening, our intentions, not just intentions, are very important, especially you tie to our dialogue, okay, And I learned this hard exactly. So with that said, I was dealing with this entity thing and I went into the bathroom because I spent hours dealing with this thing, telepath talking to it. And it was funny because when I finally after a few hours, I told it with my actual mouth, I'd said, oh, I can see you, and it changed shape and it was almost like a windshield came down when you roll your driver's side window down. It I saw this face. It was there, like two eyes and brow forehead, and that's when I realized that this squeaty thing I've been talking to some kind of into a exoskeleton suit or I don't know, but it showed me that it had this cunoid by pedal type faith like eyes, nose, forehead.

40:09 That startled me, and I threw me off a little bit because this whole time, I had naively thought that I was talking to this squitty, lobster face bioluminescent thing that was just floating around, and it was an open eye and closed eye. So this was an experience. It wasn't a hallucination, which I really don't like that term hallucination, but because we're consciously having an experience as an observer through all aspects of altered states, if you will. But so this thing is starting to really bother me because it starts showing me a little more. I hate to say this because I'm not religious, but I am spiritual, but it reminded me of the Satanic kind of It started showing me like the nichronomicon sign, the pentagram sign on its chest as it was trying to communicate with me, because I was trying to find out who it was, what it did want. And it's starting a little more the farious. So I sent to the bathroom and I'm looking in the mirror. I'm like, who are you? Where are you right now? And I felt my body vibrate really hot. It got really hot and it was vibrating, and I looked down. I was looking in the mirror.

41:11 I looked down at my hand. When I looked back up, my reflection had I had shape shifted into something that had I had a black My eyes were solid black. I had a third eye on my forehead. I can't believe I'm finally telling this story, like out in public. This is this has only been heard by a few friends. But I felt it happened like I felt the heat and the vibration. And I looked at my hand and it looked normal. And I looked back up and I was this thing. It had like goat horns, but they were really tight to my head. My head was had curly, wooly kind of hair. I had like a cat or cow like nose or whatever. But the eyes is what caught me. Everything else the details were like peripheral recording.

41:57 But I couldn't stop looking at the third eye my forehead. It was in my eyes, all three of them. They're just black. And that scared me. So I went into the living room, lay down on the floor spread eagle, which I found out two weeks later through my studies. That was a shamanic grounding, right, So I did that just out of instinct and lay there for a minute, and I was just like thinking, like, nobody's gonna nobody's going to be able to I can't tell this to nobody, Like I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I was already trying to wrap my head around the four hour experience I had with Squidty. So I go outside on the back porch and at this time, my relatives, my sister, they were having a hard time with depression and just hard times. Job was stressful, this, that, and the other, and so I had assumed this Squidty thing was like her demon or something, right, And I didn't even think that it was my attachment or whatever. But I looked up in the sky and just I I believe it was an archangel Michael that I called on could have been Metatron. I was just getting into all the archangels at the time, and I called out and said I would just be talking to you, or talking to my dad or talking to some person. I was like, I need you to protect my family because this thing.

43:18 I thought, this squitty thing was theirs and because of the depression, and level of low vibrations she was in at the time. So I called on an archangel, and an archangel flew over me immediately. Immediately I jumped. It startled me because I thought it was like a shooting star or a crashed I don't know, not explain it, but a ball of white light that looked like a bullet tip with a little black silhouette in it shot right above my head, over the house, and in immidst feeling of serenity and peace, I just started crying tears of worthiness in all of the selfflicted sabotage, belief that we're not worthy because we're all being groomed to condition to not know who we are, where we came from, or divinity that's within us. And I was learning this at the time through this awakening phase, and so I was just I was in tears and thinking, you know why, like me, like I'm experiencing this. This was something totally different.

44:22 But I was also a different person consciously in vibration because I was finding conscious spirituality or whateverness right, And I've been doing the work instead of just sitting around being three D. So I'm trying to wrap my head around this and I'm just in tears but in joy, and I'm really feeling the peace and serenity. And I realized in this feeling, I just sat down for a minute and I realized the squidty thing was gone. Even that the heaviness, it was gone. And when I'm looking around, the atmosphere was different. Everything looked dif frank, the nighttime bugs.

45:03 It's probably three four in the morning, nighttime bugs. Everything just was like I want to say, Vine, it was like, for a moment, if what I feel, it was like heaven on Earth in that moment. I don't know how to explain. It was just it brought me humble, gratuitous tears. Big for society who will be right back after these messages.

45:44 And I felt, I don't know how to explain how I felt, but it was awesome, and I said down, I realized what he was gone, and I close my eyes and it was gone. My open eye was gone. He was just gone. It was gone. This thing was gone. And I just sat there trying rat my head around this whole night and all of these celestial, supernatural, paranormal things that I've been experiencing for the last six hours or so right, And I'm sitting there in gratitude, trying to figure out how this moment right now would come about where I would actually tell more than one person and not worry about feeling crazy, Or does this happen in twenty eleven. It's been a while since I've had lit on this, but sitting there contemplating, like how I was going to tell this story. If I was going to tell this story, do I even believe this is happening?

46:36 Like just because you got to you can probably use your imagination. This would be hard to wrap your head around having this experience for the last hours. And I'm sitting there on the back deck and I'm just ingratitude, and I look up to my right and I see this rainbow orb star that just doesn't look like a star. It's way too close, it's way too low to the tree line. It's not up in the atmosphere with the rest of these stars. Because I am a self proclaimed expert at lookout in the stars at this point, right because it's been months and months that I've been doing this and having a lot of interactions with orbs and whatnot, and I'm looking at this, I'm looking at this star thing, and I say to it in my conscious voice, You're not a star. And as soon as I said that, I saw these little like the eye shine when your eyes are wet. Cartoons you do the little white star for the glimming teeth and the wet of the eyes.

47:37 The shine. I saw these little shines. They were like a green light. They were shooting off into the backyard into the trees, which I really didn't make sense at the time, and I didn't really notice that, oh, look at those lights. It was like an afterthought when I'm retracing this whole experience the next day, I was like those lights, but there was like four or five little lights that kind of just shot from the direction of that I'm going to. They shot it to the backyard woods, and I really didn't put much thought into it till after the fact. But I'm just staring on into the woods, just thinking this this whole experience, just trying to wrap my head around all of this, because it was one thing after another. It was a squiddy and then it was for hours, and then it was this shape shifting and then it was like go out and pray, and then this angel showed up. Immediately when I asked it to protect my mom and my sister, my family. And now I'm just sitting here and I look at it up in the sky and there's this thing that it's not a star, it's not a point, it's just sitting there at it's or mean and like raybow colors. I want to say, it was like I'm colorblind, but it was the very just think it was a blue, blue, and red I could see and maybe like yellowish gold or white like the Native American medicineheel colors. Actually now that I just now just thought of it. Wow, but yeah, something like that. And then they started these lights shoot down, but they weren't They were very subtle, they were very faint, but it was just the way they shot down from the direction of this star down into the backyard. And so I'm sitting there just ingratitude, in shock and disbelief,

49:13 in belief because I know what I've just experienced for the last six hours. And all of a sudden, there's a whistle. Then there's another whistle, and there's a four or five who I'm getting chills, four or five different whistles in a and say like off to you, like from nine o'clock to three o'clock in my peripher from my peripher by nine o'clock to my three o'clock. Throughout the woods in different directions, there's these four or five whistles. And I'm sitting there and now all of a sudden, I've snapped back into real I'm like, okay, wait, there's whistles out in the wood, and I draw my attention, and now I'm as soon as I draw my attention to the fifth whistle, I'm listening now right, I'm on superhering.

50:05 All of a sudden, I get the infamous tree knock, and I was like, and I've just went smile from ear to ear. And all I could think about was, go wake up your mom, because she's got to look at she loves Bigfoot, right, seventy years old. She loves Bigfoot. Who wouldn't. But I'm grinning ear to ear And now I'm just like, I'm shocked. I heard the tree knock, after the five whistles, after the little shooting lights, after this whole night, and I'm just sitting here. This is the way this is happening. I'm never gonna be able to tell this to anybody. Nobody's gonna believe me. And so I'm sitting there and I'm like contemplating, go in the house. No, because then they'll leave, They'll think I'm scared.

50:50 And I didn't really wrap my head around their mind speak abilities. Nobody said that yet in my collecting understanding or information about Big Foo. Back then, I hadn't known nothing about mind speak. But they absolutely mind speak. They absolutely are interdimensional. They absolutely can cast emotions onto us. They absolutely because I've experienced all of this with them. But the thing was is when I started smiling ear to ear and they were quiet, like in every sound, even the wind stopped moving, like there was no sound anywhere.

51:32 The entire atmosphere just went into a vacuum, and I'm waiting to hear something else, but I can't stop feeling the excitement. And it was really a joy. It wasn't fear at all. It was excitement. I was like, no way, like yes, because I mean I've been sitting here wrapping my head around this whole night. Anyway, It's like this was just a cherry on top. And I'm saying, they're like just in gratitude that they're even there. And I say they because the lights and the whistles. I put it together immediately. There's a group of them. And so with that, I was like consciously mind speak talking like like why how like me this that you know? Now?

52:20 Like I just and then off to my right behind me, Now this deck I was on the back deck, or that was on the slope. The back deck, you could actually drive the riding lawnmower under and get off of it and park it under the deck. At the highest point and the lowest point you probably have to just you know, I'm five to eleven, I probably have to duck a little bit, maybe put my ear to my shoulder, but not really bend over. So the steps were right behind me and the kitchen window and back door. Wrote to my back. Immediately out the back door, you take a right and go down the step. So immediately come out the back door and take a few steps and turn to the right. I'm sitting there on the deck right behind me. I start hearing what I thought it was the HVAC unit at first, but there's absolutely no sound at all in the atmosphere. Everything stopped. It was quiet, and all of a sudden, I start hearing this breathing, growling and it's dude is right behind me. I could turn around and touch his face or hers like I could.

53:39 And I knew this. I knew it was literally right behind me. And I'm not gonna lie. I wanted to turn around, but I couldn't. I couldn't. And I still regret that to this day that I did not turn around and look at it. But it's almost like it knew that's what I was thinking, and I felt this, you will have a heart attack and die of shock immediately if you turn around and look at this thing in a face. Wow, that was the knowing I had. That was the suggestion that I had adopted accepted, Like that came into my first instinct was you'll die of a heart attack of shock if you turn around and look at this thing. And so I didn't. I'm just being honest. I didn't. Man, I kicked myself because I feel like that was a test of fear, because now as a spiritual, conscious person, fear is the enemy of Fear is false evidence of bearing real if you will or whatever. Like, fear is the mind killer. So I think that was a test of my fear. But I also feel like it was in honor of it's wish, it's will, it's don't look at me. But I don't know.

54:53 I'm still trying to work that out. I'm still trying to understand what that is. But yeah, I didn't turn around and look at it, and so having that fear come over me in that moment, I went to the only mechanism I knew, which was gratitude. The only way to at that time on the way I understood how to transmute fear was gratitude. So I went into lotus pose in my chair. I went to my little pitation. I'm also a reiki channeler, so I channeled up and I went into a little mantra of thank you so much for bussing me with your presence allowing me to be in the same space. I went into this whole little hooky pokey little like gratitude, humble gratitude mantra to because I was shaken like I would, my DNA was shaken, my cells were shaken. Everything was just like and it was fear, but it was excitement. I really don't think and I don't think the fear was mine. I think it was like I think it was projected. And I've heard stories before everything I experienced, the other people experienced this same thing. These people have experienced the same stuff like mine. Speak because this has happened. I said I had two experiences, but really it was three, but one it was just a day I was contemplating. I went out the next day or the next evening. I went out the next day after this happened, because the property is real wooded, real thick, and I went out there to look for prints and stuff I wanted to. I

56:24 want to see where they were standing, because I went out to the areas where I heard the whistles, and I'm gonna tell you right now, I didn't find anything. I couldn't find anything, which started making like, Okay, now I'm experienced with plant medicine. So I'm like, now this wasn't just made up like this. I experienced these things because I didn't even get the normal patterns and colors and all, like the generic experience. I didn't have none of that. It's like the whole time. So I was like, okay, okay, yeah, like this it wasn't a stereotypical baseline recreational experience. This was way different and now I have to be careful.

57:05 I got very tiven on purpose and in alignment, very ceremonial. Now, which that's another thing, is that this experience brought me the respect and awareness of respect and gratitude and intention as ceremony whenever I ingest anything, now even my food. So I looked out in the woods, I didn't see nothing, but here, let's trace back. So he breathes, it's growling, it's breathing. But it wasn't like an intimidation. Ground was almost like he couldn't help it. But I feel like, I take that back. I feel like it was intentional. It was like because to hear somebody two feet away from you breathing, I don't know how to explain it, but I could since I could tell how big this thing was, like he was just the depth. The guttural sound of the breathing and the growl was very almost like a tiger purr. Like it wasn't like I'm gonna eat you. It was like, I don't know, but he got my attention because at first I thought it was an h FAC system, but the h FAC system was around the other side of the house to the left.

58:22 I heard this right here behind my right ear, and it gave me chills. I went into hearing the growl, wanting to turn around look as looking them in the face, and I couldn't. I could not look him in the face. I went into fear. So I went into gratitude. I went into lotus. I went into gratitude. I went into my matra, and all of a sudden, in that mantra, I started hearing the leaves blowing the wind. I started hearing the trees. I started hearing nature, I started hearing the stars. I heard regular reality again, and I had a whiff of some stink. I turned around and there was nothing there, and I was like, wow, how am I gonna explain this? So I go back out and the woods the next day and I don't see nothing, and listen, I'm constantly I'm trying to contelate all of this stuff that happened to me that night before. So it's dark again, and I go out and I start looking at nighttime to see if I could hear anything. Nothing.

59:29 So two or three days go by. I'm just I'm still wrapped wrapping my head around this little experience. It took me months to not think about this all day long, every day. Okay, but it's like a week later, I think it was. I went outside and I was just sitting out in the yard, sitting out there in the blue rock crushing run you put in your driveways, and I was stacking rocks right, stacking these rocks, just making little stacked rocks and just thinking about all of this. And all of a sudden, I started hearing these little rocks being like throne and I was like, I really wasn't penitention to it at first.

1:00:10 Took the third or fourth pigs a society who will be right back after these messages. But I was like a minute, and so I'm hearing something. I'm thinking, Okay, there's a fox or something or whatever. I look around and it's not walking. There's rocks hitting the driveway and bouncing, and I'm like okay, And I look up out into the backyard. We're out in the woods just right. I'm in the front of the house by the driveway, which is the right side of the house, which is where I first expected the HVAC unit. But I was like, no, that's not it. And off into the woods, I see him standing there. He's standing there.

1:01:10 It's just a big silhouette and he's standing there. He's probably a fifty yards away, fifty feet with the thirty feet away forty feet away, right there in the trees. And I look up. Now I'm going back to the night a week ago, and I'm like, this is a real thing. And now he's back and he's throwing rocks at me. And the intuition I had was come out there, go to him. And my three D ego was like, no, fe We're not going nowhere, dude. I'm sitting right here, right and I'm looking and I think when I just made up my mind. Internally, my internal dialogue was like I'm still wrapped in fear. Like I was like, no, I'm not going out there, even though I felt and I think it was late I had the epiphany that he was trying to call me out there, but in the moment, I was just like, there's no way. But here's the thing. These are pine trees. Okay, most of them are pine trees out in the woods. This pine tree, he walked behind a tree, and I'm telling you, this tree was eight ten inches why it was not big enough for him to hide behind. But as he stepped behind this tree, he disappeared like just gone. He's too wide to hide behind this one tree. But when he stepped behind this tree, he never came out the other

1:02:43 side of. It somewhere yeah, And I. Was just like, there's no way. Then I'm still sitting out there, and I heard something about probably ten twenty feet ish off to the right of where he just disappeared behind a tree in the woods, but very faint. I'm just thinking, And at this time, my mom comes out of the house. She comes out to smoke a cigarette. I'm like, Mom, it's back. It's out there right now. Because I told her. The next day, her and my sister just they're like, dude, you're crazy. You've gone crazy. Dude, you know UFO is bigfoot. Come on, man. She comes out, she sits down, she lights a cigarette. I'm like, no, I like real, And then my dog comes to the door and taps on the door. So she opens the door and my dog runs immediately. She doesn't get thank you, Mom, She doesn't come to me. She makes a beeline to where this thing is at out in the woods and starts barking and barking. She gets out to where he was and stops barking and immediately I'm like, and I go, I call her, and I start walking out there, and she comes running back towards me, shaking her tail as if she just did something good. She just ran off the Boogeyman. And I was just like this, thint could.

1:04:05 I didn't really know who they were what they were at the time, like I do now. I used to tell everybody, Yeah, she knows Bigfoot. And I know I'm being hypocrite. I'm saying I shouldn't call him Bigfoot. But the sabe are absolutely our brothers to a degree. And if you want to believe in the Nephelim and the hybrid's cryptids that are all over this planet that we're not told about from the Fallen and all of that, I do believe in a creator. I do believe in the firmament. I do believe in our divinity. And the whole reason we're here experiencing this is to come back to remembering to realization that we are a little tiny piece of God, that we are that Divinity, experiencing life, experiencing experience for the divine of the Divine. We're all connected, We're all everything is from that same creation. So it's they absolutely can throw feeling into you. They can. And this is the thing. That night that after my dog came back, I made my mom put her in the house.

1:05:26 And that was even like, look I told you he's out there, because she ran out there that wasn't normal for the dog. And my mom was like when I told her, I was like, look, she just went out where I told her she was. She looked at me with this face like, maybe you're not crazy because she's now experiencing a reality that she's just witnessed the dog do something out of norm, out of character and run off into the woods exactly where I just told her. I saw a bigfoot walk behind a tree. So now she's maybe he's not crazy, But now she's trying to re or read around then reality. But I had went out there after and I was like, Okay, I'm going to go out there because I thought, for a minute, what if there's somebody at the neighbors, What if the neighbors are out in the woods or something like who knows?

1:06:14 And so I went out there and as I was walking around, I was talking in my head to myself but to them because now I've adopted a mantra and meditation and inner dialogue and inner dialogue prayer, because I'm not like the church kind of prayer. It's sometimes I do, but it's you want to close your eyes and look down into your heart when you pray, because meditation is praying is asking speaking, and meditation is listening, shutting up and listening to in my the way I feel it. So I'm talking to them and I'm like, how and what like my experience? Why? And thank you? But as all like as big and scary and obviously from us.

1:07:08 It's what came to my mind was you guys are dangerous. You're ignorant and dangerous, but we are a beautiful creature. We just have been lied to and misled and conditioned. And he said that it's gonna take some work to get out of it, but you can ah, and we won't. We're we're not gonna sit down with you until you do. Like, we can't go. We gotta watch here. It's basically the message I got from them, Like they hide from us because we're dangerous, we're ignorant, we're foolish, we're greedy, we're we're disrespectful to our land, toward nature, to each other, to ourselves. But now I'm feeling heavy hearted, but this is a message people need to hear. We need to wake up and step into our divinity and start having compassionate empathy, love forgiveness, unconditional love, not just Valandine's day.

1:07:58 Love can additional love. I still love you because you're in a process of remembering and learning, going against a groomed programming of being disconnected and lost and not knowing who we are in a divine way like we're you know? So yeah. His message was like why would Bigfoot? Why would something that big and that supernatural, say, hide from us? Look at us, look at what we do to each other in our planet, Like why the who I would hide from us? Too? So yeah, that's wow. Thank you for sharing this platform, because I had too many people invite me or ask me if I would share this.

1:08:45 I just I don't know and I have no idea today. It's been a really strong, raiky day, a lot of prayers and meditations, and I don't know. Yes, sare you? I guess what I would like people to take from this is that they're not monsters, but there are good and bad everything. Well, there's good in bad angels. There's good and bad animals. You know, there's good and bad fish. You know, probably not fish. I don't know. Did you know what I'm getting at? The duality exists. And I guess I have one question for it. Are you able to share the general area where all this took place?
