8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.759
Hey, big for Society. I've
got Mark on the phone. He's

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.119
gonna tell us about what he has
experienced out in his neck of the woods.

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:45.320
How's it going? Mark? Back
to Ben? All the usual,

11
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:52.359
that's a lot of pigeon house and
bugs flying around. But what I mean

12
00:00:53.439 --> 00:01:00.280
as that's for just a five experience, I'm going to I don't believe whatever.

13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.480
Since in the seventies, when people
were still talking about Patty at the

14
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.560
drop of a hat, when I
was running through with somebodies in the rooms

15
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.280
back in outside of Traise City,
Michigan, I thought for sure I saw

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.959
these good size points, but everybody
blew them off a bear. I didn't

17
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.640
think they looked like bear tracks,
but I was probably eleven, So whether

18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.640
I know back then, well that's
years and years later, twenty nineteen,

19
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.040
I bring the family down here to
East End. See somebody has this misconception.

20
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.200
They'd still see it all the time
that you have interactions. I was

21
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:45.879
in the uniform for a very long
time and in some interesting places. I

22
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.680
know when people are watching me or
when I'm being observed. So to find

23
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.959
out, miss houise under we're in
been empty for a couple of years.

24
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.359
When the grand kid, you know, ripping it care in the fire yard

25
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.799
turn. I'm talking about my wife
and daughter sitting on the pork on the

26
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.159
front porch. I just got something
out of my corner of my eye.

27
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.759
I turned to look at the woodline, which is probably under one hundred twenty

28
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.159
five ters away. Oh no,
it was a it seems black shape.

29
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.960
I was there too far to see
his face or an After going out there

30
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.960
later, I figured he was probably
eighty nine feet tall. Anyway, shoulders

31
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.960
are probably four and a half five
foot wide. Knowing this guy was big,

32
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.080
I hope you don't mind the language, but well, of course I

33
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.400
go. The wife doesn't know what
I'm looking at, tanned to look at

34
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.080
it, and I say, what
the F is that? And he must

35
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.680
say here in a desert, since
he must have known that I had seen.

36
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:00.199
As he turned to his left my
right, and I say, right

37
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.520
off into the thicker underbrush. I
could see he had long hair on his

38
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.319
on his back because I could actually
see it all while behind him. Because

39
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.879
I'm like, what up was the
white on it? And I always thought

40
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.919
I'm a little nuts from my old
job. She didn't quitn't want to whether

41
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.080
to bully me or that. But
I went out there the next day,

42
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:32.560
and I didn't want to go out
there quite right afterwards. But go out

43
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.680
there the next day, and you
could see on the outside of the octreface

44
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:46.759
because this is where our horse pasture
for something that beat a a heavily used

45
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.759
trail down to that spot. And
I could see Brooke when he when he

46
00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:00.680
took off, I could see broken
branches and stuff that, uh really he

47
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.560
y plowed through on his way.
Boy from here, So that let me

48
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:13.039
know that, okay, we're not
alone around here. About a couple of

49
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.079
neighbors and one another and one guy
his family's been here for generations. Who

50
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.600
corner what he said, they can't
have Cherokee, So he's you know,

51
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.600
there's a lot of the stories around
here, and just like some places,

52
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:29.160
everybody thinks of your stories. Well, some people around here they just treat

53
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.199
him as the folks who live on
in the woods. I've always one research

54
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.199
this time. Yeah, these guys
are quite a bit kicked it up,

55
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.800
but even hotter after that, especially
for the locals and on. Not because

56
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.639
I want to know what I'm seeing
around here. But that was the first

57
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.399
time we got an above ground pool
that we're putting up all back. This

58
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.920
was some months later. I get
that itch again. I'm looking out through

59
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.160
the woods. This guy he's he
was ready here, so it wasn't the

60
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.079
same one, and he looked like
he was smaller, but they were doing

61
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.079
that peaking from behind the tree.
Then I didn't get answer anything this time.

62
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.399
I'm just treating like he was a
neighbor. Hey, how you doing.

63
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.600
Let's see you back there. And
then actually came off about halfway behind

64
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.920
the tree and stood there and watched
and said, we try to put the

65
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.399
pool together and whatnot. These guys
must be they're curious about what we do

66
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.240
too. All these people tramping though, the ones looking for them, they

67
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.040
are churious about us as well.
A couple of months after that, I'll

68
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.040
take care of I have all this
special needs, she said to a gtube.

69
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.639
And this while I'm sitting up forming
feeding and this time I'm just looking

70
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.639
out the back window back in the
same journal area, I saw the red

71
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.600
hair you. Well. At first
I thought it because we just had a

72
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:57.279
big storm company here, that's long
before that. I'm thinking, okay,

73
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.360
that's you the tree stop. But
and what everybody says, i'll put it

74
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.279
called stump squatches. At first,
I'm thinking that it's just a big old

75
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:13.240
tree stunt. I get hit by
lighting because it was got off, and

76
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.079
then you start swaying back and forth. I'm like, maybe that foster kid.

77
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.319
So I take the two boys,
bring them in there. The boys

78
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.879
are sixteen or thirteen then, and
I said, look right out there,

79
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199
and what do you see? He
says what I said, look like it

80
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.560
looks like a tree standing there.
And then they go Both of them were

81
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:40.240
like, holy crap, it's moving. Yep, they're watching us again.

82
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.560
So there was three and just recently, just a couple of months ago.

83
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.120
Machian counter is a sighting. But
the horses were fine. I've got a

84
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:57.639
bunch of big dogs and they were
going just crazy out back around here.

85
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.360
This area has a uh not just
those guys in the woods. Like a

86
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.839
lot of other areas. Some of
the local folks are into the show.

87
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.600
We said, well made pharmaceuticals,
So I want to make sure thing was

88
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.560
good out there. I gave Ibby, my oldest farsh boy, a small

89
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:25.600
light. I got my forty five
and we went out there to take a

90
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:31.800
look. When we got back there
in the horses are fine. The neighbor

91
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.240
back to the woods is close.
All I can see is the road lights.

92
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:43.519
Of course, there is this huge
shadow sitting there. And by now

93
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.800
I don't act secured to these guys
that much anymore. I like, I'm

94
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:55.920
just home of conversation. Hey,
how you doing, big guy? Just

95
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.360
stop making sure things are okay?
That this kind of thing h And mainly

96
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.360
notice because I see it hit the
eye shines, so I know he's there

97
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.480
anyways. And then he's got this
huge shot from the light and we'll see

98
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.800
something just movement to our right.
There's two more sets of eye shines,

99
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.720
and two different heights, think okay, And we had a crew to all

100
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.680
left and from where we were standing, that was by seventy five meters down

101
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.240
the hill. In between these things. I've got pictures of tracks and my

102
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.480
pasture, and I know a few
of the trees on my there where they've

103
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.799
been observing the house. As you
can see where they they the beating down

104
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.519
spots by the base of the trade
that kind of thing. I know they

105
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.639
come out part of that freaking that
creek bed because when it's dry, it

106
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.960
goes all the way up the mountain
and it's severally wooded on both sides,

107
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:58.120
so you know, ANWFE could walk
down that thing without being seen. So

108
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.519
I've got three sets of eye shine
around this all already. And I hear

109
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.879
something down in the creek rocks getting
knocked over. The Bobby said, you

110
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.039
hear that, And he says,
oh, man, he's looking pretty scared.

111
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.799
And so I turned around and looked
back towards me. You know,

112
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.360
that's what I call him, is
the big guy to tell you what We're

113
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.799
gonna go back in the house.
You guys have a good night. And

114
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.440
may part about people saying this stuff. But he said to you, what

115
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.320
if you keep keeping the black bears
and the Kyle stuff out of my pasture.

116
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:41.440
I'll bring you something tomorrow. And
I told the pistol with my whim

117
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.720
and raise my arm up with the
way below, and he did it.

118
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.120
Back. Made me feel pretty good
that I've you that this guy actually and

119
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.799
I can be wrong. I can
go out and the goose behind the house

120
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.200
again. Next time he could appear
and snap me in half, as they

121
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:09.840
can do that being that big.
But he acknowledged my presence, and I

122
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.000
thought that was a good sign.
So the next day I rated the This

123
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.159
was before Halloween last year. I
rated the kids home. The apples took

124
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.200
through them back there, and I
actually climbed up into a tree a little

125
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.080
bit back where that's where i'd seen
him. I showed them down in some

126
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.759
branches so you could you had to
pick them up and move them to take

127
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.600
them, and I didn't because the
moon afeel when I placed them. I

128
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.159
just said theron said there you go, dude, hope you enjoy. Went

129
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.399
back to the house, mounted my
own business, and the following day went

130
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.120
back out there. Both those apples
were gone. Those sticks don't shooting cores,

131
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.679
they were just gone. I think
I might have spoiled them though that

132
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:09.039
I've tried to give him regular apples
after that he hadn't touched him. I

133
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.759
laid a candy bar out there in
the same tree that was going I did

134
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.480
the snickers. I took it out
of the pack and led up in the

135
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.720
tree and shoved it down the branches
against so you had to work to get

136
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.799
at it. And that was gone
too. But so far, I think

137
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:33.679
I almost made him upset last year
because he went around and trimmed the brush

138
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:41.519
around the horse fence and got the
electric fence working again. I'm just the

139
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.000
way I'm thinking. I think I
might have shocked him a little bit once

140
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.039
I got to go on again,
because a couple of days afterwards, if

141
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.279
listening as a new point, no, why they you've seen the stories about

142
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.440
the trees shoved upside down on the
ground. I'll buy where I made my

143
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.919
first sighting. I guess it was
about a fifteen twenty foot tall long log.

144
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.039
No guy was a part of a
tree that had broken off from the

145
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:18.039
layer, but it was shoved eight
inches in the rocky mountainous and sea ground,

146
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:24.080
and then the wider part was balanced
up in the crookeds and branches playing

147
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:30.080
up high. I'm like, I
had some double buddies come over and we

148
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.279
took it down, and I was
afraid he was gonna fall on the fence

149
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.679
and knock it down the next wind
that comes through. Yeah, of course

150
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.480
he's blown off. Ay, it
just a wheen's fall off. I can

151
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.639
see where it snapped off. I'm
like trying to explink it was, like,

152
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:54.759
dude, So that branch snapped off, flew twenty five thirty fricking feet

153
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:01.200
through the air and landed perfectly in
the ground and manas to shove itself from

154
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.919
this ground and balance up there,
and I just said, whatever you say,

155
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.200
rug. So he pulled down off
of the lane there. And one

156
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.720
thing I really found strange about all
right up to the sometimes I figured I

157
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.879
tacked him off the out. It
surprised him some of that six thousand bolts.

158
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.120
A couple of weeks later, something
picked up the log and it was

159
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:35.000
outside the fence. Why he cleaned
that up, I don't know. I've

160
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.320
said, I don't know how that
these guys think you guys and he still

161
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.000
to see you. I'm assuming you
know who Scott Carpenter is. I watch

162
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.000
all his stuff. I just tried
to stay on good terms with the folks

163
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.480
in the woods. So I walked
the woodline and just trying to talk and

164
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.559
stay on good terms with them and
say, look out, there's your area.

165
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.159
Didn't here's my area. As long
as we keep it we we we

166
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.639
are good to go. Besides tracks
to my pastor, I've got assuming it

167
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.600
was him, because I've got a
picture of a one clear out of a

168
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:15.919
trail. The damn thing is a
left foot for a good clear tho.

169
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:22.480
I was twenty inches long and it's
got to be eight inches wide, and

170
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.120
the stride was long enough for I'm
not a very big guy, but I

171
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:33.720
ate the joke. From track to
track, there's lots of stories of the

172
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.240
one showing signs of aggression. I
thought, the one guy that's not too

173
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.039
far from me, but barely up
up there in the mountains, he's had

174
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.159
new classic rocks and stuff like that
thrown at him. Yeah, we grew

175
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:54.240
up there there. We're we are
in their their yard, their living room.

176
00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:00.879
Apparently he didn't like you be there. About all this is, I

177
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.240
haven't gone on trail walking in quite
a while now. Just try to show

178
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:13.120
some respect for these guys. M
pretty much my experience with the track.

179
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:20.559
Different size prints all the time.
My pasture everything from I said is a

180
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:31.840
was twenty inches a smaller set there
was all the way back to the pasture.

181
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.440
And that one looked like they have
broken a toe one time because the

182
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:45.120
big tour on the left foot was
pointing in like drastically. They have anybody

183
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:52.080
out of the center the broken bones, but they've been as close as before

184
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.519
I started talking to another acid basis. I found a trail that came all

185
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:02.480
the way to the side of the
house, and I haven't seen anything like

186
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:07.759
that in a long time. So
I figure maybe my getting on good terms

187
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:14.679
for those folks it was a good
thing. I do have one vocalization them

188
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.759
scaring some coyotes away. I'll love
some security gamas outside. You can hear

189
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:25.600
the coyotes, and this guy growled
at him. You don't hear coyotes anymore.

190
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.320
You're taking figure. They must have
been arguing over kill. That's my

191
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.039
stuff down here in the nut show. But I so I go out in

192
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.399
the pastor on a regular basis see
if anybody's been stepping over the friends are

193
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.679
coming in. I know they're like
wild raspberries because I was following that truck

194
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:48.559
the trail from outside back in the
pasture, and you can see where it

195
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:55.240
stopped, and you umber see the
raspberries out behind, outside of the fence.

196
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.960
And then I don't really I told
other people I don't care about proof

197
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.880
anymore because I'm not too worried about
proving it. What. I know they're

198
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.440
there because people have asked me,
and I you know, it's just this

199
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:15.519
guy stepped back over the fence and
only ate too many of those raspberries,

200
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.079
if you get my meaning. He
let them all drop in my pastor.

201
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.960
It was quite the large pile.
I got a people, why didn't you

202
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.319
scoop something up? Because I don't
care, and I don't want people around

203
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:34.319
here out there going no, don't
even what not. I'm a fum believer

204
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:40.880
that certain agency know that they've been
doing things to him years. I consider

205
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.839
him my neighbor. Why the hell
would I want? Don't you eat running

206
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:47.640
around the woods out here? So
I've been following you for us just going

207
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:52.599
through YouTube one day and I followed
your channel. I follow a lot of

208
00:17:52.079 --> 00:18:00.119
what I consider decent ones and some
people that know like we realize and m

209
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.680
v TV and all that because people
say they have a bad reputation. It's

210
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.519
like all do I do is put
out there with people post. As far

211
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:12.319
as I know, or you know, Steven is all no how to hunt

212
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.759
some of these ask for reading and
following day pilotis a lot. I was

213
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:25.000
twenty years infantry and twelve years of
military cop. He was a long time

214
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.279
cup on the outside. So listen
to and speak. It seems like we

215
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.839
think all in the same wave lifes. It sounds like you're not really scared

216
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:44.240
of having these creatures around your house
at all. Well, I know people

217
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.319
destroyed, even the even vets that
as soon as they seem and all of

218
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:53.720
a sudden they're they get this,
you know, m hm, you know

219
00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:00.640
the deep seated fear. Does that
happen? Some folks consider me a little

220
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.200
differment to a lot of folks.
I've been a lot of it. Been

221
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.000
in a lot of bad places myself
and in some bad scrapes that something.

222
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.039
Every once in a while I had
to pull myself out Germany. I had

223
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.240
to believe it or not that they
have wild boars in Germany get about three

224
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.680
hundred pounds. I faced one down
with a pick axe one night and years

225
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.000
and years an extra time. We
were actually, oh he has blank grounds,

226
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.599
and ladies scided to come down and
start go running through our gear and

227
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.480
garbage. Saw. I pick the
closest thing I could and get them out

228
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.400
of there, And that was that
axe in my Holdly brave that I walk

229
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.440
out there and you tell them stupid. Didn't one of these guys, won't

230
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:48.039
you know, fix my attitude?
Oh no, because now this is display

231
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:53.079
my way of thinking. I figure
they're like they are people a lot larger,

232
00:19:53.480 --> 00:20:00.519
stronger, and do things a lot
of different do we do site people,

233
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:07.200
Some are good guys and some are
raging the holes? Where's me?

234
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:14.920
More about running out went into out
there as somebody had found a five upound

235
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.799
black beard, siting that that long
ago there they are going to freaking take

236
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:26.200
people out. I don't have north
of me. Last year girl was in

237
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.039
a hammock and a black bear pulled
out of her hammock. Mm hmm.

238
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:37.240
And but there's been seems to be
more. Dog Man siding was in the

239
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:44.359
same with Stately in recent months in
your area. Some carpenter has got two

240
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.799
videos and he too, Usually what
I know, I said, I got

241
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.000
this feemal want to be washed.
We were out there just checking the fence

242
00:20:52.039 --> 00:21:00.160
line just the other day, and
it wasn't the same feeling it was is.

243
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.119
I could tell something was out there. They didn't want to do harm

244
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.279
and for changing pace years and I
don't go by the near the woods without

245
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.640
some mild based backup, she always
say. But I didn't take any with

246
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.920
me that day, So home through
the boys with me. I'm like,

247
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:23.680
let's get back to the house now. Then, obviously we know that those

248
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:29.440
are known to be violent. Look
at the land between the likes and everybody

249
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.599
and the brothers investigating that guy took
out of an entire family once I moved

250
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:41.680
down here. In these tales,
the cult and creatures and these mountains are

251
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:48.960
full of just unexplained stuff. I'm
come to find out there was a family

252
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.960
killed back here in ninety six,
about ten miles away from my house,

253
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:03.200
and supposely it was a satanic deal
there. Really, there is no for

254
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.720
weird stuff. It's a lot of
other things going on in your area.

255
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.920
It sounds like, for sure,
it sounds like you haven't seen the last

256
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:18.240
of the Bigfoot around your property.
I would guess from what you've said so

257
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.720
far, you probably will have more
encounters, for sure. I have no

258
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.359
problem in the world with that.
So I try to show him respect,

259
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:36.759
he shows me respect, and we're
good. Ye. The ones that's supposed

260
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:41.079
to have the empty show up.
Are lots of advantagers being broken up there

261
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.799
because I don't have some tools that
might open that. We'll leave that to

262
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.160
the imagination. Yeah, Mark,
this has been quite the conversation. I'm

263
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.799
glad that we were able to connect
and that you were able to share what

264
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.480
you've encountered so far. All right, big for society. I've got the

265
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:04.119
privilege of talking to mister Hernando from
Florida today. We had talked back and

266
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.559
forth a little bit on TikTok I
believe it was, and he's got some

267
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.880
interesting stories to share about Bigfoot.
So, Hernando, how are you doing

268
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:18.240
today? I'm pretty good and beautiful
fundy here in Florida. Very good.

269
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:25.559
So let's get right down to it. Yeah, I'd like to start from

270
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.240
just before my father's passing, just
a couple of years ago. I was

271
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.160
a caretaker in the last year or
so of his life. He'd come down

272
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:38.759
with pancreatic cancer and he was letting
go of a lot of things that he'd

273
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.799
experienced in a lifetime, and at
the time he was aware of my interest

274
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.240
and my activities here in Mayaca in
Florida, and he wanted to make sure

275
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:55.119
I didn't give up as easily as
I was wanting to out here looking for

276
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.319
the Shunt Cape in Themica State Park
in the jacent areas. And as the

277
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:04.799
story goes, one day, about
two months before he passed away, I

278
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.240
was had my wits end. I've
been out there for almost three years off

279
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.880
and on looking around. I hadn't
really seen anything. I hadn't heard anything.

280
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:21.079
I've seen some footage from some associates
of mine that a pretty well known

281
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.359
footage on the internet. And I
told him, I said, I just

282
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.880
feel like I'm wasting my time out
there. It's it's a beautiful setting to

283
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.039
be in, but it's just a
lot of time to be spent out looking

284
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.200
for something that you're just not sure
exist. And he told me, he

285
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.519
said, son, whatever, you
don't give up, these things are out

286
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:48.279
there. He said, I have
no intention on telling anybody about what actually

287
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.920
happened to me in the Pokemon for
I said, well, what do you

288
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.319
what do you referring to day?
He said, you were calling ninety six.

289
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.319
You were at work that week,
you had opportunity to come out hunting

290
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.640
with me that week. It was
a Wednesday in ninety six, the winner

291
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.599
of ninety six, and we were
hunting in the same spot. Him and

292
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:14.960
I both hunted for over ten years. I was in my early teens when

293
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.599
he first started taking me out there, and off and on for many years,

294
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.200
both he and I would have a
conversation after coming out of the wood.

295
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.359
Did you hear someone walking through the
woods? I told him. I

296
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:33.359
said, yeah, oftentimes I would
hear someone walking. It was clearly something

297
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.839
on two feets, So we'd never
seen anything that Wednesday that I was unable

298
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.079
to accompany him hunting. He was
hunting in the same spot we had hunted

299
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:51.839
for roughly twelve years. And he
said, the day I came and tell

300
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:57.880
you that afternoon and I told you
I refused a hunt there anymore, and

301
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.920
I wouldn't tell you. He said, I even left my tree climber back

302
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.799
there because of what happened. And
I said, what do you mean by

303
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:18.279
that? Dad? He said,
run, These things exist, and there

304
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.880
a lot more places than people even
think. The Eastern chorta isolated Peninsula.

305
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.640
I'd never heard of anybody even mentioned
the word bigfoot on the eastern shore of

306
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.079
Maryland. And he continued to tell
me. He said, I was in

307
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.119
my tree stand that morning. I've
been up there around four thirty five o'clock

308
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.400
and he said, around seven point
thirty I heard something coming from behind me.

309
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.240
And he had his tree stands facing
two west on a very large pine

310
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.720
tree that was up on a sand
hill. You could see as far as

311
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.519
the eye could see without obstruction from
some other things like you would on the

312
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:04.799
ground. He was quite high,
i'd say, probably about fourteen or fifteen

313
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:10.119
feet up the tree. And he
said, I heard it again. He

314
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:17.920
said, I heard footsteps and what
sounded like a very large person. And

315
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.519
he said, as the footsteps got
closer, he said, to my very

316
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:30.319
left about twenty five or thirty yards
wasn't very far. He said, out

317
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.559
on my left eye, I saw
what I thought was another hunter. It's

318
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.599
aggravated me quite a bit, because
pretty far we're moved into the forest,

319
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.960
we rarely sawing out of the hunters
there at all, at least in that

320
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:49.039
section of the forest. And he
said, I was watching it out of

321
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:55.839
the corner of my eye I was
about to say something because I thought it

322
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.720
was another hunter, he said.
I turned my head slightly to the left,

323
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.000
and he said it looked like a
man in a gavel see, but

324
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.839
very tall, he said it was. It was probably about seven foot tall,

325
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:18.440
he said. As I turned my
head further to observe it, he

326
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.440
said, my tree stand shifted through
to the wind. That these things can

327
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.319
shift in the cheap tree moves around. He said, it squeaks. He

328
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.559
said when it squeaks, it turned
and looked in directly in the eye.

329
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.279
And he said, whenever it looked
in on the in the eye, he

330
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:45.440
realized that it was not a human. And he said that the overwhelming fear

331
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:53.160
of what I was looking at completely
locking up. He said, fun,

332
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.880
I've been through two tours in Vietnam, and I've never been so frightened.

333
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.279
He said, when it will too
many eyes. He said, this thing

334
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:08.519
had red eyes, and it was
completely covered in the air. And this

335
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:12.480
is when I said, Dad,
you had a gun in your hands.

336
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.240
He said, this thing, if
I had shot it, would have definitely

337
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.200
climbed the tree and beat me to
death with it. He said, it

338
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:27.039
was so massive and so scary looking. And he said it is quite much

339
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:33.920
like something out of a horror film. And he said, whenever it gave

340
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.960
him the gaze, and it stared
at him for a few moments, and

341
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.960
just as quickly as it had turned
his head to look at him, it

342
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.480
shifted back the way it was going
and ran directly through a briar pass that

343
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:56.240
was frankly impenetrable by a human being
anyhow, And he said, whenever I

344
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:02.519
heard, you know, no more
trees snapping, no debris being stepped on,

345
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.000
I immediately climbed down my tree stand
and headed the other direction. He

346
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.279
said, after that, I didn't
want anything to do with that property.

347
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.200
It was intensely frightening. I think
a lot of people have this impression.

348
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.079
Well, well, if I got
a gun and I'm out there and I

349
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:26.079
see one, I'm going to shoot
it. And I think there's something climordial

350
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:32.400
in a person's brain that stops you
from reacting in a logical manner. And

351
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:37.599
that's what he definitely experienced that day, and it frightened up so much he

352
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:42.480
never returned to get his free climber
and refused to ever hunt there again.

353
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.880
It's just an absolutely fascinating story.
First, thank you so much. For

354
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.160
sharing. Did he say anything about
if he heard it make any noise at

355
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.960
all? Yes, yes, yes
he did. He said. When it

356
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.079
shitted, it gave he looked at
him, and when it shifted his head

357
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.160
back away from him and it started
running, he said, it sounded like

358
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.440
a lion and an elephant at the
same time as it was running through that

359
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:17.799
thicket. He said in extremes,
probably as long as he could hear it

360
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:22.640
breaking branches. I don't know how
many yards that would be, but it's

361
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.759
quite a distance before you stop hearing
something in the woods anyhowy one, you're

362
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:33.960
a forest, things tend to amplify
and sound, and so I'm assuming he

363
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.680
was probably a couple hundred yards away
before my father even reacted to get out

364
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:47.480
of the tree stands, and he
said that sound was it was absolutely frightening

365
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:52.200
to the bone. The tree stand
he was in he had just bought the

366
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:57.119
previous season, and tree climbers at
the time were quite expensive, and for

367
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.960
him to have left it, not
to ever retrieve it, it was surprising

368
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.559
to me. He didn't tell me
this story until just a couple months before

369
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:13.079
he died. I recall the day
because she told me. He said we're

370
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.960
never hunting there again. We will
never hunt there again. And I asked,

371
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.440
h must why not and he said, son, we're just not hunting

372
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.920
there anymore. And I left it
at that And I really put no thought

373
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:29.119
into it until he told me the
story, just tired of his death.

374
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:31.960
After he told me this story,
I took the time to look around because,

375
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:37.000
like I said, I've never heard
of anything humanoid being cited on the

376
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:46.279
Eastern Shore. But as I told
you previously, that particular quamp was widely

377
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:52.599
discussed as being haunted, but no
one ever said haunted by who or what.

378
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:58.880
And after hearing this story, I
have no doubt that is what people

379
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:05.319
probably see or see in that area, and that's why it was quote unquote

380
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:10.880
haunted. How far back did those
accounts that you found through your research go

381
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:17.599
back? Roughly at least several decades. Now, I know I didn't research

382
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.799
any further than that, But when
he told me this story, when I

383
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:28.880
started doing research, I know there
were other accounts pretty much starting from the

384
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:34.720
northern part of Delaware, which is
on the peninsula with the Delaware Maryland and

385
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.720
then Virginia. A lot of people
aren't ton't even know what the Eastern Shore

386
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.039
is or even where it's that,
but it's a peninsula that hangs off the

387
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.920
east coast. There. When you
think of DC or Baltimore, you got

388
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.720
the Bay and then you have the
Eastern Shore, which is Maryland and a

389
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:00.759
portion of Virginia. And the few
sightings that I had come across this a

390
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:07.160
cursory search on the Internet. There
were sightings in Delaware, Maryland, and

391
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:13.679
Virginia the same year. You're in
Florida now, but this is correct influenced

392
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.320
you down there. You say you
are looking for the skun Cape down in

393
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.039
Mayaca State Park. Correctly correct,
correct so much that I've actually, in

394
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:29.960
the last six months moved adjacent to
the state park because where I was living

395
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:35.440
here in Florida, which was Fradenton, Breakton, Sarasota area that's west of

396
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:40.440
this Mayaca area, and it would
take me about an hour to get where

397
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.239
I needed to be, just before
I even got out of my car.

398
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:50.519
Now I'm takes me five minutes,
and it gives me time to really focus

399
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.440
on what I'm trying to do out
there. Personally, I haven't experienced anything.

400
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.639
I've come across some partial plants that
are questionable. I have yet to

401
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.960
come across any full prints that I
could cast or say, yes, that's

402
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:10.400
definitely not human. But after my
father told me that, and he was

403
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:17.679
emphatic that I continue to shirt because
you hear stories from people that live here

404
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:24.639
and have lived here for many generations, and these stories I believe to be

405
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:30.639
are one hundred percent accurate and true. Are you able to share any of

406
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:35.239
those stories that have been passed around
for generations or is that a thing where

407
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:39.360
we can't really talk about. Most
of what I've seen are glimpses at this

408
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:45.440
thing, not so much long periods
of time to observe them. But there's

409
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:51.159
been people tell me that they've had
one run across the road really late at

410
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:53.840
night on some of these back roads. And for the people that are not

411
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:59.920
familiar with how emode this area is. As far as there's some of these

412
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:08.079
roads back here is there's literally nothing
but trees and swamps and more water as

413
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:12.400
far as you can see. And
people think of Florida is pretty well built

414
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:16.079
up, but the center of the
state is it is still Primmornial. It

415
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:22.679
really is. It's a beautiful sight. And I to courage everybody to come

416
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:29.360
and check out our state. Parks
because there are magnificent creatures out here to

417
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:35.000
be seen by all, and the
skunt cape is it is an extremely rare

418
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.880
creature and people do see it.
I have no doubt of that. What

419
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.039
do you feel that the skunkcape is? What is it that you're looking for

420
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:52.679
when you go out? Exactly?
Personally? I feel I feel a connection

421
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.719
with all creatures. It's not just
the skunk Gate aspect of it. When

422
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.960
I'm out, I'm not just looking
for Stunty. I'm looking for other rare

423
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:08.719
animals also. But I feel a
connection, like deep in my soul when

424
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:15.920
I look for these things, because
to me it feels like maybe a cousin

425
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.159
or some kinship to it to humans, and it's hard to put in words,

426
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:29.599
but I feel a spiritual connection there. And you know, I hope

427
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:32.480
one day to be able to see
one or at least get some really good

428
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:39.679
evidence through footprints or other means.
The state is restricted about what you can

429
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:44.199
and can't do in there, as
far as like putting cameras up and things

430
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.840
like that. You have to get
permission and they have to be put on

431
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.679
a map, and the rangers that
keep eye on things like that. It

432
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.480
makes it a little more difficult because
of that. You're out there, You're

433
00:37:54.519 --> 00:38:00.519
going to have to experience it yourself
or witness something that is enough for you

434
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:06.199
to say, Wow, this is
it, this is real. And I

435
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:15.599
think there's certain things that some people
require and others are willing to take a

436
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:24.079
feeling and a need to try and
find these things. I agree. Once

437
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:30.039
you've started to look for the creature, whatever that is and wherever that is,

438
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.639
it's a thing that it's pretty hard
to give up once you start looking

439
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.239
for it. You also mentioned that
there were acquaintances you had that had gotten

440
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.719
video of the skunkype. Is that
anything more you can go into. I'll

441
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.800
say this, the guy I'm fining
them his video has made around them on

442
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:54.679
various supernatural shows and things. The
funny thing is, and this amazes me

443
00:38:54.800 --> 00:39:00.360
a little, they always show just
this video, never name of his snapshots

444
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:06.360
that he managed to take. He
got really close to this thing, and

445
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.719
for whatever reason, they never used
this snapcot photos he had. Now,

446
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:17.920
keep in mind the video he had, there was probably two dozen people standing

447
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.800
there witnessing this. And if you
go back and look at the video and

448
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:29.360
anybody has smeared with been pudding or
Skunky probably knows the video I'm referring to.

449
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:31.039
I don't want to say his name
because I haven't spoken to him about

450
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:36.599
this. But if you go back
and look at the video, as the

451
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:43.280
video begins, just to his right, there a young lady standing there with

452
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:49.760
a massive camera. Now, what
I'd like to know is what happened to

453
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:55.320
her snapshots things like that. I
don't know why I go unnoticed or ignored,

454
00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:01.599
but I guarantee there are more photos
or videos of this thing from that

455
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:12.760
frame event. That's very interesting because
I'm ninety nine percent that I know the

456
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:17.639
video you're talking about, but it's
interesting to know that extra information where there

457
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:22.159
are other people there and you bring
up a good point, what happened to

458
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:29.239
what they captured? If they're listening, contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail

459
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:35.039
dot com. I'd love to hear
that information or see what you had captured

460
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:40.559
as well. That's very interesting.
There's videos and photographs end of this guy.

461
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.760
Because it's important that we document these
things. If they are as rare

462
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:50.039
as I believe they are, they
should be put on it and Danger or

463
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:54.159
Rare Species list so people don't go
out there and deliberately shoot these things.

464
00:40:55.239 --> 00:41:01.840
One thing so rare and beautiful to
be observed, not hunted. Hernando will

465
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:07.559
end with this, what will it
take for you to feel like you've reached

466
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:12.480
your goal of searching for this creature
don in Florida? What would be the

467
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.760
thing that would have to happen in
order for you to feel like you've reached

468
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:22.119
your goal? For me personally,
it would have to be assigning similar to

469
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:29.199
my father's or the gentleman that picked
the video on what I can do his

470
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.079
feelings. I was what he was
saying was one hundred percent real. It

471
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:36.320
wasn't a bear, it was on
two feet, it was human like,

472
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.159
and it did not want to be
harassed. I appreciate you reaching out and

473
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:50.039
this has been an extremely enlightening conversation. I'm sure that in the future,

474
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:54.079
once you're able to find what you're
looking for, I would definitely say,

475
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:58.400
don't be afraid to reach back out
to me. I'd love to talk to

476
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:04.639
you again. But are there any
closing words before we wrap up this phone

477
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:13.239
call? Yes, never give up. Anybody out there that that bigfoot,

478
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:20.920
don't give up. They are out
there. You could spend an entire lifetime

479
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.440
and only see one or none.
But they are out there all right,

480
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.440
big Foot society, we've got the
privilege. You're talking to new friend Heath,

481
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:34.079
calling in from Vancouver Island. How's
it going today, Keith? Really

482
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:40.239
good. We got some half decent
weather here for winter. That's been nice.

483
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.440
Still got snow up there. We
don't get much in Gold River where

484
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:52.480
I am on the west side,
middle of the island. It's reretally a

485
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:59.519
lot of rain rain in the winter
up here, so the molts get more

486
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:04.480
snow in the valley where we are. It's really nice and wet. I

487
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:09.199
just came back from a weekend across
the island on the east side. I

488
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:15.599
met up with four of the researchers
over there and we just spent the night,

489
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.679
sat some sound equipment to some heights
and checked up some video cameras that

490
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.840
are in the bush and change some
cards and it was pretty interesting. Nut

491
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:34.119
trip. Slept from the car froze. It was really windy and cold where

492
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:39.280
we were on the east coast.
And things have been going good than the

493
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:45.000
Sasquatches on Man, you've been looking
into sasquatch for a long time out there.

494
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:50.800
How did you get started with that? Keith? Ooh, the Gimlin

495
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:59.840
film first off, and then living
out here in moving from Manitoba to Vancoullin

496
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:06.159
and living with a Native community.
Basically, my parents bought a taxi company

497
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:13.199
in the northwest middle of Vancouver Island
in the village of Gold River and we

498
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:19.119
ran that for thirteen years, just
talking to the Natives that we traveled with

499
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:27.599
back and forth, just their old
stories about sasquat Ism in the villages back

500
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.519
in eighteen hundreds, the sasquad Trud
region to kids us sleep in the middle

501
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.360
of the floor, not in the
edges, to the Sasquatried region, to

502
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.440
the bungalows and try to grab the
kids. Yeah, it's quite a history

503
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:45.320
back back to the eighteen hundreds on
Vancouver Island. If you look up the

504
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:53.639
story of mush Let Harry, an
old Native trapper back from Mawa Cavan which

505
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:59.039
is up in Gold River here.
That's the oldest account that I know of

506
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:06.039
that dates back to the eighteen hundreds
of Sasquatter Jean on Vancouver Island, and

507
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:13.079
which is really cool because from the
mainland on the east side, you can

508
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:17.440
see it from the island, so
it's a two mile swim, so sasquat

509
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:23.199
is actually commute from alert By over
to the islands, and the island Hawk

510
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:30.800
become avert by and they do a
lot of howling up the native reserve up

511
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:39.559
there. I've got friends up there
that send me phone recordings of howls grunt

512
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:45.119
sounds. That's pretty cool for sasquatter
from Vancouver Island. There's a lot of

513
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:51.920
activity. We just missed out on
a bunch of howls and whoops. A

514
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:59.320
Saturday night, we went up by
Wass area for thel Ernie Wass and the

515
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:05.719
phial story and we're up there on
the east side and some up for researchers

516
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:09.800
that we met up there got some
really good howls and barks and treen hawks

517
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:15.599
and we just set up a soundary
corner in the bush up on the ridge

518
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.679
below where they were camping, and
they said, we caught some good in

519
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:25.880
full. It's interesting the sasquatch will
flourished here. It's such a cool habitat.

520
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:32.559
We got sasquatches that live basity on
the ocean eating clams, ceo of

521
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:39.679
anything on the ocean so abundoned.
And then we got one that chase elk

522
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.239
in the forest. I really believe
that if some of the sasquatches hurt them

523
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:52.159
up into a valley in winter time
and we'll feed off of them during the

524
00:46:52.239 --> 00:47:01.280
winters. Those here such a good
food for Sasquatchestle habitat Vancouver Islands about a

525
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.599
thousand miles long and maybe seventy five
miles wide. That's the widest points.

526
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:15.880
And the west side of this is
open ocean too China. It's just rugged

527
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:22.480
oceans. Lots of beautiful big beaches
on the west side, but you either

528
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:28.119
find a helicopter, seaplane, or
boat, and that's the only accessible way

529
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:32.800
in the West coast. She Lillog
is out there Alert Bay and they're really

530
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:38.639
nice lay a sasquatch heaven. The
susquats swim over from the Maine and over

531
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:45.440
there for some reason and spend a
lot of time on the beaches taking clamshells,

532
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:51.920
and Alert Bay is real hotspots for
them. It's annoying, they tell

533
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:59.199
us, there's so many How it
gets dogs barking opposite the rest. Yeah,

534
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:04.239
we got hotspots Funny Island where they
do come to shore and we don't

535
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.239
know why yet. The company mainland
over the island and then they'll go back

536
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:13.519
and different seasons. We lose them, we know from the area, and

537
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:17.719
then they'll be gone. I did
about four areas out here that I really

538
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.880
spend time in in the last forty
years, and there's activity up there.

539
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:28.639
But we go out for a week, spend a week in the book,

540
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:35.159
they will come into camp so rocks. My girlfriend's sister was a major non

541
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:42.159
believer until two summers ago, where
she has a baseball sized boulder, was

542
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:47.840
throwing out a tree five feet away
from her at a campsite ten minutes out

543
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.679
of Gold River, so we don't
let her travel that far. They gets

544
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:58.639
half squatches. We've had them in
town s. We've had one water tower.

545
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:04.239
I wanted three reserves out here,
and within two miles a pound reserve

546
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:12.840
the water towers half a mile of
road. A gentleman walkin his dog up

547
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:16.760
by the water tower and the sasquatch
walked down front of him, and the

548
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:23.440
guy didn't believe in them until then
he's as a normaliver. So that's pretty

549
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:29.159
cool in town. That's pretty nice
for Golderer. But we are selling in

550
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:34.559
the buoy. We do a bears, a lot of black bears and Gold

551
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:42.159
River in the island, cougars wolves, and there's probably forty grizzly bears up

552
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:47.719
at the north end of the island
now out dere. Yeah, we got

553
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:52.679
quite a variety of animals, lots
of food. There's no shortage of sasquatch

554
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:58.239
food on the island. What's here
on the west coast. It's not hard

555
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:02.480
for than me on all fours run
out grab a seal, visit meal for

556
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:07.159
them. So it's pretty cool.
I got a good friend of mine that's

557
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:14.760
putting a boating outing together. They're
going to go cruise some beaches, an

558
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:21.280
old army base that's dessert, spend
the night there doing a little bit of

559
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:29.519
research, set some sound equipment up, a few trill cam and see thing.

560
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:34.920
Get sasquatch on the beach eating time
show through that circle. You mentioned

561
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:38.000
you have grizzly bears around the area, and I've talked to a gentleman in

562
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:46.519
Montana and he said there's times when
the sasquatch will almost fight the grizzlies.

563
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.800
They found grizzlies that have their necks
broken. Have you ever heard any experiences

564
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:59.920
where the sasquatch are going up against
the larger predators in the area of the

565
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:04.239
river. Anything means I don't know, but the bears won't. The bears

566
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.320
will not. They won't mess with
them. Black bears, yeah, the

567
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.840
black bears. Yeah, they won't
mess with them. Look, you imagine

568
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:16.000
a baseball side of rock being thrown
that elk laid to slow it down in

569
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:22.639
the bush, and you'll grab that
elk and break his necklace. Nothing.

570
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:28.599
Wow, But they're hunting skills,
are They do use weapons. A rock's

571
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:32.519
a weapon and they'll bring down now
to yours leg and sew it down.

572
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:38.519
You don't meme it, follow it, may it take it down. I'll

573
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:46.360
across about three elk in the past
fifteen years, unexplained dads just in the

574
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:52.440
books, laying there, beautiful elk
within You know you're in Dad's maybe half

575
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:57.360
an hour. No bullet wounds,
not a hunting season. Luck somebody up

576
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:02.559
there. Even there's such a glass
wilderness out here, lots of logging roads,

577
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:07.320
there's lots of access and then you've
sent a bank rally's logged. Well

578
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:13.880
that's the sad part. Yeah,
accessibility is really nice. We do have

579
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.320
a lot of old himbers still in
a lot of the parts of the island.

580
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:23.599
For his growth timber and his second
growth is really nice. Ni Kish

581
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:30.079
Valley has really grown over view in
the last twenty years. We got caves

582
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:35.159
running up and down named Kish Valley. Just what every mountain. I'll have

583
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:39.400
a cave unit somewhere. And there's
some loggers I know, found a giant

584
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:46.559
cave up You got your boat to
your boat up in the and there big

585
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:52.000
cave up there. One guy went
in three hundred feet by himself, and

586
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:55.880
he said, you can stand up
the hole all the way. But he

587
00:52:57.039 --> 00:53:00.639
came back after about three and the
feet of but he's and it goes in

588
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:06.079
way. So we're going to go
to the summer, set up a huge

589
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:13.960
rail cameras sound equipment over by that
area, and then camp for about eight

590
00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:17.079
days and see what happens over in
that area. But what I've learned over

591
00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:23.679
the years is four days in the
bush out here, a sasquatch will come

592
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:30.159
to camp. It's they're really curious. They know about us. They watched

593
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:35.119
con cu out and grow. We
got residential sasquatches, and then we got

594
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.000
island happers. It's how do you
want to describe it? A year in

595
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:44.519
Awe, a friend and I were
up in a mountain make twenty two komers

596
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:50.360
out of town here somebody had made
a homemade picnic table out of an old

597
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:54.000
piece of wood, and there was
a giant picnic table there, and where

598
00:53:54.039 --> 00:54:00.880
we camped from. The picnic table
must be about eighty yards from the table

599
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:06.760
towards the lake, and the little
trail walks towards the lake. And then

600
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.840
you come across the picnic table,
make a left and be down three steps

601
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:14.639
and you're on the lake. And
such as a giant picnic table, something

602
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:20.000
made of old wood that was falling
over in the wind blow. We're out

603
00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:23.599
there one night ten o'clock and nights
day four, day five. We're out

604
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:29.840
there at ten o'clock at night and
we hear this knock on the picnic table.

605
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:36.400
Three wraps your heart right away.
You can't control that it and then

606
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:40.000
you adrenally start to flow and send
my buddy. And we looked at each

607
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.840
other, and these of us moved. We know what to do. It's

608
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:49.159
like it was so clear, so
loud, and he's like, boom on

609
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:54.000
that picnic table eighty feet away,
ten o'clock a knight, eighty pick black.

610
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:59.559
You don't mean we've got going to
fire, no lanterns, no flash

611
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:04.360
lights. Andy to grab and run
to the picnic table, but we did

612
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.760
not investigate it. Him and I
just sat there and we never heard the

613
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:14.559
thing after that. But we never
heard it come in the camp. It

614
00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:21.360
was so quiet. I think I
walked along the lake edge and snuck into

615
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:25.440
the camp up to the vision table
and then wrapped the three wraps up there.

616
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:30.840
But that was exciting. Another time, the same man, the same

617
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:36.920
guy was out with. We spent
ten days up into the river and I

618
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:42.239
we case went up the mountain and
we got nine whoops. We didn't catch

619
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:46.159
it, but we tried tracking we
could up this mountain. We came to

620
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:51.719
a rock impassable for us, which
there's no way we can get up that

621
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:57.679
rock. Once ago the timbers turned
into a rock face and you can see

622
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:00.119
where it climbed up to. The
moss was ripped off the rock and turned

623
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:06.760
areas less. Only good Campanzee climbing
up there by n eighteen hundred pound one

624
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:12.039
all fours. There was nothing for
getting up there, so we turned around,

625
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.320
came back count of camp. I
had my video camera going and I

626
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:21.840
was telling people that we were up
this ridge jumped his mountain, trying casing

627
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:30.639
the sasquatch up there that we saw
earlier, heart earlier, So I got

628
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:35.039
nine oops. I was a videotape
and you can hear them. But I

629
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:39.639
made the mistake and walked towards the
river okay, and the river drowned the

630
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:46.800
sound lasts or woops out, so
you got more river than woops. So

631
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:52.559
I got nine oops down my video
camera. Anyways, that was pretty cool

632
00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:59.840
and older. I have never ever
had like snout a sasquat in the bush.

633
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:06.079
You know how they talk about that
putin's they're hot and meat smell.

634
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:08.840
I've never had that. They come
across a dead deer or something in the

635
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:16.280
bush, and I've never a snout
a soa squad chet and tree structures,

636
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:24.079
I've never come anything like giant trees
being hoisted up in the air and stuck

637
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:30.440
together. Not something else I've never
come across here on the mainland. I've

638
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:35.920
heard stories four foot round tree,
we'll be wedged up against another one and

639
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:40.440
I mean four or five other smaller, longer poles and be jammed up against

640
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.159
him. Make some kind of cheap
the effect out here I've never found,

641
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:50.800
though, and it's really hard.
They make pats, they don't make houses

642
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:54.719
lay in nests like a gorilla.
Out here on the island. They don't

643
00:57:54.760 --> 00:58:00.559
make houses. You won't find any
tree structures where you climb into it and

644
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:05.519
branches like a little for that baby
won't do it over here. Have you

645
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:09.280
found nest sites? Then it's hard
to say, because of the ground out

646
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:15.280
here is like you get a bunch
of ferns and you don't know if the

647
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:20.320
elkerly in them or sasquacket. So
that's the thing. The elk lamee the

648
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:25.599
ferns too, and the sasquat.
But you find indents where you think they

649
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:31.239
were sitting over the years. One
tree of you all the barkwike just picked

650
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:35.480
off parts of the tree and you
might find an indent where you'll sit.

651
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:44.159
I just sit there, and yeah, they're very sneaky. I did catch

652
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:47.320
a picture about two weeks ago of
one following us. I did here in

653
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:52.440
the background, so I turned around, took a picture and we just kept

654
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:59.360
walking. I got home. I
posted that picture, and a lady all

655
00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:04.599
my groups and says, oh,
you caught a sasquatch in the background by

656
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:10.559
those three alder trees, and so
he's moved it in and reposted those pictures

657
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:17.639
and turned enough to the face of
a young, juvenile, young sasquatch.

658
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.960
It's not an old one, young
black one. So we just took the

659
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:28.599
face of a sasquatt going up a
logger road. So I went and set

660
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:31.880
the trail camera up there. The
elker up there, wild ago. There's

661
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:37.239
lots of fresh cat, a few
deer. So I said, oh,

662
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:42.159
shure, yok. With a trail
camera up, we will kick an elker,

663
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:46.639
the deer, maybe even a sasquatch. So I've got a trail came

664
00:59:46.719 --> 00:59:52.239
in the area where I've got a
picture of a sasquatch, so that's interesting.

665
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:58.840
It was like you're cost something was
following us, but you don't hear

666
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:05.119
a lot. Our bush is really
quiet. We heard maybe four birds today

667
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:10.800
when we're out for three hours hiking
around today at one's lace, me and

668
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:15.559
two buddies. The bosh is really
quiet, and we're talking about dear and

669
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:22.719
help while we're hiking, like just
you don't see them. We made so

670
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:28.679
much noise in the forest even walking
this big trails that are up behind one

671
01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:32.760
of our lakes. It's a group
community lake offs a trail back there for

672
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:37.719
people to walk. We'll see for
it up there today, just hiking around

673
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:45.440
and we're talking about like they run
a deer our valleys echo. If you

674
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:50.039
start off the highway and start driving
down the valley, that car will echo

675
01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:59.519
four miles down the valley. Everything
here's you coming sasquatches here. So I

676
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:01.559
found it best way to find the
sasquat is let him come to you.

677
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:09.440
And that's why we spend days at
the camp site, the long Stead camping

678
01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:15.800
with activities, twenty days. Me
and a guy. I brought this guy

679
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:22.480
in from Hope and him and I
spent twenty days in the movie and that

680
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:30.320
was really interesting. But we had
no equipmentine I don't work retired health reasons

681
01:01:31.199 --> 01:01:36.119
but I don't, so I don't
even equipment on sound equipment. I went

682
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:40.639
into big mics with a dish that'd
be really cool to have. And the

683
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:45.920
night vision, now, wow,
there you go. I've had a friend

684
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:52.239
of mine, I had three thousand
gogle three thousand dollars for night vision.

685
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:58.320
Boys look in at daytime. Those
are beautiful navision go go, But what's

686
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.920
three grand I don't have that kind
of money. But they were guys you

687
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:07.159
got money. I'm not one of
them. I go out there with what

688
01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:14.000
they got on and the giver,
Yeah, such a goop. But you

689
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:19.800
spend time anywhere in the forest a
week and they will come. Going back

690
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:24.719
to how you mentioned that you grew
up around the Indian culture, do you

691
01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:30.119
happen to remember any other stories of
sas question that you would have heard growing

692
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:34.559
up that you can share it.
I just remember the kids, but the

693
01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:40.719
older guy would say they would not
sleep on the wall. They were sleeping

694
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:45.159
in the middle of the floor.
Four or five kids. You're trying to

695
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:50.960
get through the But when Morris for
clean, there's no native guys passed away

696
01:02:51.159 --> 01:02:54.039
many years ago. He was a
really good friend of mine. When he

697
01:02:54.239 --> 01:03:02.760
was five years old. They used
to boat kayak from Fremicove Island up thee

698
01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:08.920
and let the Old River and they
would hike two days in the Campbell River,

699
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:14.039
which is on the east side.
It's an hour out of Old River

700
01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:16.800
as you drive now, but they
would hike it. It would take them

701
01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:22.760
two days longing the river trails.
But Moores would cry because you would be

702
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:29.360
so scared because they'd be camp in
the Sasquak areas and the Sasquakers knew it,

703
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.320
and they would leave gifts, read
and they would leave fish for them

704
01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:38.280
when they would leave camp to the
sasquatchs. And it's now bugging them.

705
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:42.880
This is what it was. Don't
come in the camp and steal our food.

706
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:46.679
But the moores would cry every time
they'd spend the night in the forest

707
01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:52.039
hiking on the way in the Camp
river. They've been back here since by

708
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:54.559
nineteen hundreds, eighteen hundreds as much
at the Hairy Store. Yeah, there

709
01:03:54.920 --> 01:04:02.320
live on. Many occurrences happen,
mate. I don't know anymore, Keith.

710
01:04:02.360 --> 01:04:06.440
I appreciate you chat and got I've
got a curveball question for you.

711
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:13.280
The thing I love about Canada is
that up there there's plenty of these stories

712
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:19.360
about dinosaurs and things seen, prehistoric
creatures. You've got the Partridge Creek monster,

713
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:29.519
You've got the Nahani Valley where supposedly
there's an undiscovered valley of prehistoric creatures.

714
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:33.000
If you hear stuff like that,
does that jog your mind to any

715
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:38.400
stories at all that you've heard over
the years, And if not, don't

716
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:45.519
worry about it. No, not
for prehistoric creatures. But I've been in

717
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:51.199
some forest where you'd expect to be
some kind of man eating creature. I

718
01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:56.960
just expect this is this is a
dinosaur forest. I've been a few of

719
01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:02.639
them, but no, no dinosaurs. We did get one years ago.

720
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:08.039
Somebody did find a big skeleton on
one of the rivers down island. Oh

721
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:12.760
really there was a real Yeah,
some kind of fish creature like the walk

722
01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:19.440
hands monster, long neck, big
tins become body looked like Ghino from Fred

723
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:25.559
Flintstone. Fine, so some creature
like that was sound on one of the

724
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:29.400
rivers on the island, you know, one hundred and twenty feet long.

725
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:34.840
But that skeleton is on the island
somewhere. That's the only I know here.

726
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:43.159
But yeah, our bushes, kicking
areas and so full of cool plans.

727
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:47.079
Keith one one last question before I
let you go. Has there ever

728
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:50.840
been a time that you can think
of, over the years of researching in

729
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:57.440
the bush, being out there for
days at a time where it was so

730
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:01.199
weird, something was so off that
you like, you'd rather not be here

731
01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:08.719
right now, just you just got
the chills, anything like that. I

732
01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:13.920
broke down. I was trying to
head to McCurry Creek, which is up

733
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:17.440
the inlet from Gold River, but
there's a logging road that takes you right

734
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:24.079
to the ocean. And it's only
about three miles up from our government wharf.

735
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:27.559
But you got to drive the logging
road all the way around, which

736
01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:32.119
takes you three hours to get the
exact same place. I broke down the

737
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:36.920
cross ditch. I hit it too
hard, bust my jeep set up its

738
01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:42.199
hand. My buddy went and crashed
in there. I spent the night on

739
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:46.519
a fire, sitting by a fire
all night behind me, I can hear

740
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:51.679
something throwing rocks and pebbles. Not
big one is here on hit the logging

741
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:56.440
road, but then he's here.
Snap. It would sit there and break

742
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.719
a branchy twig, not a big
twig, which is from the side of

743
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:04.679
a toothpick, And you're here.
And I turned around. It couldn't see

744
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:10.199
anything in this cool holy cow.
That freaked me out. That was a

745
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:15.039
weird night. But all night until
dusk, when I could see the silhouettes

746
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:19.559
on the trees and the mountains,
it got quiet. It left whatever it

747
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:24.559
was, but it stayed there for
about five hours, dropping rocks on the

748
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:30.960
road and just breaking little branches.
But it never moved. It stayed at

749
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:34.199
one place behind me, and I
never got the nerve to stand up.

750
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:39.719
I didn't have a flashlight because I
can't have one, and it wasn't especially

751
01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:44.800
the break down at twelve o'clock at
night. Yeah, that's the only freaking

752
01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:46.440
thing I ever had where I knew
I shouldn't have been. He was like,

753
01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:51.559
I'm on my own, buddy,
sleeping, and yeah, I'm sitting

754
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:57.360
out here. And now the thing
that got me was all night. It

755
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.360
would break a little branch and I
turned my head but I couldn't see it,

756
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.559
and I'm sure you could see my
so wet and it will just sit

757
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:08.239
in here laugh with me. Yeah, for five hours it just teasing me.

758
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:11.440
That's funny. But wow, it
started to freak me out. It

759
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:15.439
wouldn't stop. Huh yeah, And
I would turn around, I couldn't see

760
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:21.560
any of you. Did pitch black
in that forest? That? Yeah,

761
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:25.960
very cool. That's a cool story. Keith. Shouldn't be here, Okay.
