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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.640
So stay with us hither. How's it going going?

11
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.560
Pretty good, my friend?

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.880
Awesome. Feel free to share what your experience was, sir.

13
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.560
It was a late in nineteen eighty two or eighty one.

14
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.679
I can't remember at the exact date, but I know

15
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.880
it was in the eighties. It was about Oh. I'm

16
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.799
CEO is about eighteen years old then, and I'm a

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.079
Woodland Cree First Nations Native man, and we always go

18
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.000
to our trapline area where we grew up. And my

19
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.480
grandfather told me to go set some rabbits snares and

20
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.599
take my cousins with me so I can teach them

21
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.239
how to set rabbit snares and live and survive out

22
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.480
in the wilderness. Right, So we went across the lake

23
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.519
because it's really thick there and full of vegetation. There's

24
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.599
a lot of rabbits there. So I made some rabbit snares.

25
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.000
I took them with the canoe. I paddled across. It

26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.560
was about i'd say about oh, I've been seeing about

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.840
two or three in the evening, and it was a

28
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.599
nice sunny day, kind of muggy, and it was not fall,

29
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.840
but it was late August when we went over there,

30
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.159
because we usually harvest animals before fall, like we collect rabbits,

31
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.079
I mean berries and wild meat like grouse, and later

32
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.840
in the September we hunt moose, right, so we basically

33
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.959
lived on wild meat. Anyways, at that time, I took

34
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.120
my cousins with me. There's four of us there, and

35
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.760
I took my little twenty two compaction with me, thinking

36
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.680
i'd see small game. Right from where the shoreline is

37
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.799
to where a rabbit area is, it's only about fifty

38
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.319
yards from where we started setting rabbit snares. So as

39
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.599
we got out of the canoe, I said, okay, here's

40
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:14.639
some rabbit snares. Let's go. I'm going to show you, guys.

41
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.479
So I led the pack. I left the gun in

42
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.319
a canoe, and then we went to this nice opening

43
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.800
I foundin rabbit trails. I started teaching them this is

44
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.840
how you find rabbit trails, and this is how you

45
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.639
set them up. So I set up one. Okay, your guys,

46
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.759
just true. So I was you know, they're doing it.

47
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.680
They're crouched down and they got some sticks. All of

48
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.000
a sudden, out of nowhere, I started feeling like something

49
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.039
was watching me from behind. I had this really uneasy feeling.

50
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.520
I've never had that feeling in my life, and the

51
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.439
hairs on my neck and my arm started to stand

52
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.680
straight up. I did not feel comfortable at all. I

53
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.520
just looked around the bush behind me, and I told them.

54
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.080
I told my cousin, hey, I'm going to go back

55
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.439
to the canoe and get a gun. And I didn't

56
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.400
want to tell them why, but I didn't feel protected

57
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.159
at all whatsoever. So I went walking back there real slowly,

58
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.400
looking around through the bush. And then I I got

59
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.159
my twenty two and I put a whole bunch of

60
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.439
bullets in my pocket, and I kind of shrugged it off.

61
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.120
I thought, ah, you know, I don't know what it is,

62
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.120
but you know, I'm going to be ready anyway, but

63
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.840
I didn't load the gun. And as I was walking

64
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.639
back about twenty yards, I seen the shadow across the

65
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.120
path and then I looked at the shadow and I

66
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.599
followed the shadow, and here is this big poot right there,

67
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.919
about three or four feet I think it was so close.

68
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.240
I could see him looking at my cousins, and I said,

69
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.159
how in the heck did I miss it? Like, I

70
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.639
don't know how I could not see it at the

71
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.680
first time, But anyways, I saw him pulling the bush

72
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.840
back to keep an eye on my cousins. And then

73
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.879
I couldn't breathe. I just couldn't breathe. I just I

74
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.319
was such in shock seeing this thing. And I swear

75
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.879
that thing was nine or ten feet tall. It was

76
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.759
so huge. And anyways, I finally took a gas by

77
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.560
air and he heard that and he had to move

78
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.599
his shoulder to the right to look down on me

79
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.080
to see who I was, and he saw me shaking.

80
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.480
I was just and I was just terrified. But anyways,

81
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.800
after that, he didn't really care about me. He was

82
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.000
more worried about my cousins. He was worried about what

83
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.800
he couldn't see. He was not worried about what he

84
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.480
could see, which was me, right. And I tried my

85
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.040
best to load the gun, but I was shaking so bad.

86
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.720
I couldn't take the tubuler off the pump action because

87
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.319
there's a big tube there, eh, and then you can

88
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.399
put in twelve bullets in there. But he heard that

89
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.000
squeaking of that my tubuler, and you look back at me,

90
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.040
and I said, I don't think I want to load

91
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.720
this gun. I don't want him become after me. I

92
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.000
was so terrified, Oh my goodness. And then I started

93
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.680
breathing better, but my heart was pounding so much. And

94
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.199
I swear it was only about two or three minutes

95
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.199
when I saw this thing. And anyways, I looked up

96
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.879
and down the body. I've seen how huge the feet were,

97
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.959
the calves of that thing. It was so huge. And

98
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.800
he had no neck. He had muscle all the way

99
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.439
up to his head. Uh. His the whites in his

100
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.319
eyes were red and uh, he didn't have black eyes,

101
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.079
I mean brown eyes. He had black eyes and his uh,

102
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.399
his eyebrows, the bone part on top of his head,

103
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.079
was protruding out. I mean, he was massive, he had

104
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.199
great big teeth, he had great big jaw, and his

105
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.600
jawsh kind of stuck out, but he definitely had a

106
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.519
cone head, and he had hair all over and on

107
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.800
his back he had stringy hair that was long. And

108
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.079
then when he made a little move, the sun protruded

109
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.000
from the from his back and Sean hunt his back

110
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.120
and it went red. The sun when it hit his

111
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.759
back went red. His hair went red. But in the

112
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.000
dark it was dark. So I've seen that, and you know,

113
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.839
three minutes, like an hour right when you're terrified. That's

114
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.319
what happened to me. And anyway, after that, he looked

115
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.319
at me again, and then he looked for my cousins

116
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.240
and he started holding pushing the bush back, and he's

117
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.639
sneaking away on me, and I could see him walking away,

118
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.360
and I was still in shock. I didn't know what

119
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.480
to do. I've never seen a creature lay down my

120
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.879
whole life. My grandfathers and I'm always talked about him,

121
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.160
but that was the first time. And then after that,

122
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.639
I kind of shook it off and running to my cousin,

123
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.480
I said, drop everything, let's get body here. What's going on.

124
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.839
I can't tell you. Just get in the canoe. Let's

125
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.720
go right now. And I paddled so fast to the cabin.

126
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.199
They got me. They helped me get water and wood

127
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.199
inside the cabin, and we tipped the beds over and

128
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.600
blocked the door, and we loaded all the guns. I

129
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.040
had a thirty thirty shot gone three h three and

130
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.959
twenty two, so we love it all. I was so terrified,

131
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.399
and I finally told him I seen a sasquatch or

132
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.399
a bigfoot or a big guy. You know. I didn't

133
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.680
know how to explain it to him, so they got

134
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.560
all terrified. So we had a hard time sleeping that night.

135
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.759
I think I went to bed about I don't know

136
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.319
about twelve or one. I can't remember. It didn't seem

137
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.879
like long when we woke up. But anyway, this is

138
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:31.399
what happened. After that. My grandfather came came to the cabin,

139
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.000
and thank god I wasn't awake. I might have shot

140
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.680
through the door. But he got into the cabin and

141
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.120
he said, in cree, Danny Oma, Danny gooma. He said,

142
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.800
what's wrong? I told Grandpa about the bigfoot. Oh yeah,

143
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.959
that's not that's not a problem, I said. We used

144
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.360
to see those things all the time. As long as

145
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.040
you don't bother them, they won't bother you. And then

146
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.120
he started telling me stories about when he was to

147
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.439
check his nets and he'd find no fish in the nets.

148
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160
Then he finally saw this guy standing there. There was

149
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.240
a bigfoot scretrying off with his fish. He had a

150
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.519
handful of fish with him, and he said, I was

151
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.759
scared to do it to it first, but after a

152
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.519
few more visits, he said, I wasn't scared anymore because

153
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.199
they're not there to hurt you, and don't hurt them,

154
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.680
don't ever shoot them. They're they're a part of nature.

155
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.399
And you don't eat You don't kill what you don't eat.

156
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.240
He said, every animal you take, you have to eat it.

157
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.920
And are you going to eat a bigfoot? And I

158
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.320
said no, Well there you go. Don't ever kill them,

159
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.240
don't ever shoot them unless they attack. If they attack,

160
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.159
then you have no choice. But those animals, they're not

161
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.080
dangerous as far as I know, from what I've learned

162
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.360
as a young man and the stories our grandparents has

163
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.879
told us about those creatures that we call them, and

164
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.759
and now some people call them weak to go away.

165
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.919
Some you know in our language. There's different names for

166
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.960
bigfoot in our language. Yeah, so yeah, I just wanted

167
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.440
to share that story you've been keeping all these years,

168
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.600
Like that was when I was eighteen and I'm sixty

169
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.519
two now, and I wanted to share it with somebody,

170
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:10.279
get it.

171
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.399
Off my chest. Was that the first time, one of

172
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.039
the first times you've shared that story.

173
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:23.000
I've shared it with only my family and with my

174
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.279
brothers and sisters. That's it. Yeah, and they believe me,

175
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.840
and I know what happened after that. After that incident,

176
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.120
the next day, me and my cousin went back with

177
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.519
cocked and loaded with guns, and we've seen the bigfoot tracks.

178
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.519
It was actually sunken into the moss and you can

179
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.039
see every detail of that footprint, five footprints we saw.

180
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.639
You can see the toes, everything, the heel, the middle

181
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.360
part of the foot, and all the moss. I was

182
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.799
ripped off the ground as well. So yeah, we knew

183
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.519
what it was after that was confirmed there And another

184
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.879
incident that happened was me and my uncle were hunting

185
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.279
and we hit the river. It was so cold, but

186
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.919
we didn't have good winter weather, so we rolled down

187
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.440
the windows and we started calling moose from out the window.

188
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.000
Then we heard this horrific scream coming from the lake,

189
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.279
the bay of the lake that leads to the No

190
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.000
River that least to the lake. I knew exactly where

191
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.799
they're calling from, and it sounded like two bigfoot fighting,

192
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.279
and you can hear them like if I can do

193
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.799
a little sample of it. They're going like and the

194
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:42.120
other one went raw like that, like a big argument,

195
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.559
and we heard it for about five minutes, and then

196
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.519
you can hear these horrific slammed on the ground, like

197
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.799
somebody was flipping somebody and hitting the ground. And then

198
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:58.440
we can hear these branches crashing on a tree. And

199
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.519
after we hear it, and all of a sudden quiet

200
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.039
and they're arguing again, and you can hear them going

201
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.600
further and further away from us, till we couldn't hear

202
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.279
them no more. So my uncle said, let's go back

203
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.080
to the cabin. I said, that's not an animal, that

204
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.519
is a creature. He said, I don't want to be

205
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.679
out here. So we went back to the cabin and

206
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.240
I swhere. We couldn't sleep that night. But anyways, after that,

207
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.559
I told uncle, I'm going to take the three with you,

208
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.840
and I'm going to check exactly where that place. And

209
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.519
you say, yeah, go ahead, but be careful. And I

210
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.919
went over there. That paddled all the way right to

211
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.240
the bay of that river, and I got off to

212
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.639
the side. I seen some matted down grass and I

213
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.360
went there and I went looking. I can see a

214
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.679
bunch of this bigfoot hair all over this tree and

215
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.720
all the branches on it. Not all of the b

216
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.759
but up to about i'd say about eight feet high

217
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.519
were broken on both sides of that tree. And I

218
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:55.080
can see bigfoot tracks in the water. But the water

219
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.080
was clouded up, you know what I mean. It's like

220
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:01.159
muddy water, but you can literally see the bigfoot track

221
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.000
came in the water or came out from the water.

222
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.559
I don't know. But what I learned was I tracked

223
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.919
all around that area, made a grid search looking for

224
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.600
footprints on the ground. I couldn't find any. So the

225
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.399
only thing I could come up with they came in

226
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.200
from the water and left to the water to get

227
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.519
out of there. And I had it eerie feeling again,

228
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.919
and I said, hanging again, see it again. So that's

229
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.279
my story about the bigfoot in our area here.

230
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.600
That is, Man, what a fascinating account. Can you share

231
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.000
the location for both of those accounts.

232
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:46.320
It's called let me remember here, okay, it's called mcfillion Lake,

233
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:53.039
mcfillion Lake, and it made me changed to Desmond Lake

234
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.120
because my cousin died at the trap land and we

235
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.360
wanted the name change to Desmond Lake, and that's what

236
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:00.799
they were going to do. But I don't know if

237
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.600
they did or not. But it's called mcphillian Lake in

238
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.279
the northern Saskatchewan. It's about an hour past Montreal Lake

239
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.240
and heading towards Green Lake. You'll see mcphillian there.

240
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:21.559
Okay, so, and I'm sorry to hear that happens here, cousin. Definitely.

241
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.120
I think they did actually change it to Desmond. Is

242
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.480
this in British Columbia, by ma'am Att Lake?

243
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.559
No, this is in Saskatchewan, Canada.

244
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.360
Okay, gotcha, So it's in Saskatchewan. Okay. I will have

245
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.600
to do further looking into that. But thank you so

246
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.279
much for coming up and for sharing what you've experienced.

247
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.360
This will help a lot of listeners I think, work

248
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.600
through what they've experienced as well. Thank you, sir, you

249
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.120
bet you you appreciate you. Have a good day, Kip. Yeah, wow,

250
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.919
that was incredible. I cannot imagine living through something like that.

251
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.039
Hey Louis, how are you?

252
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.519
I'm doing very good?

253
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:06.000
Are you doing?

254
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.159
Hey good? Feel free to share what your experience was,

255
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.120
and if possible, if you could start out by sharing

256
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.559
the general or the location or area it took place in.

257
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:22.720
Okay, Yeah, it took place in southern Utah in twenty sixteen.

258
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.440
If you're familiar where Zion National Park is, it's about

259
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.080
fifteen miles north of there, in a small town called

260
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.159
Cedar City. Up there canyon you get close to a

261
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.600
place called Cedar Breaks very pretty. There's lots of photos

262
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.000
of it out there. And yeah, I grew up in

263
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.759
that area and have visited up that canyon of the

264
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:50.279
mountain my entire life. But in twenty eighteen, I was

265
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.679
working as an artist for a company and me and

266
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.279
a coworker who used to go camping all the time.

267
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.960
He just invited me and I was like, yeah, sure,

268
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.679
that sounds like a lot of fun. A couple other

269
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.600
coworkers said they were going to go, so we're like, let's,

270
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.559
you know, go up this upcoming weekend go camping. He's like, yeah,

271
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.639
I have a cool jeep, goes off road. We can

272
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.159
go places deep into the forest, way away from like

273
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.679
the designated camping grounds all that stuff. He's like, I've

274
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.600
been up there multiple times, and like cool. So, yeah,

275
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.840
we're driving up the canyon. We take this dirt road

276
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.440
and we're going and we're going, and we're like fifteen

277
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.360
miles just into the thick woods of sagebrush valleys and

278
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.440
thick woods and sagebrush valleys. You know, we're not seeing

279
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.840
any dirt trails and nothing. So we're out there pretty far.

280
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.120
And you know, we spent the first day pretty normal.

281
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.320
It was just you know, shooting guns, campfire, that kind

282
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.559
of fun stuff. As it started to get in night time. Oh,

283
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.480
I should also preface that it turned out that just

284
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.080
me and the one coworker went on this trip. Two

285
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.440
other coworkers just couldn't make it. One you know, had

286
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.600
to tend to his family and one just never responded.

287
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:57.879
So it was just me and this other co worker.

288
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.759
We're up there and it's getting close to sunset. We've eaten,

289
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.960
we've oughtne all that stuff. We're kind of just getting

290
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.200
like making sure our little sleeping areas is ready. And

291
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.120
he's off kind of in the tree line, and I'm

292
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.600
more near the jeep and uh, just off to maybe

293
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.759
like three hundred yards off to the right, we just

294
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.000
hear what sounds like a cow getting murdered. It was

295
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.879
just as like like a crazy like it kind of

296
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.080
sounded bovine, but it was so loud and such a

297
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.159
weird call. And like we both were stopped and we

298
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.440
kind of looked atach other and he was just like

299
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.919
what was that? And I'm like, I have no idea

300
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.759
what that was. But it was three to four hundred

301
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.159
yards through a tree line to our right, and it

302
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.000
was just one of those like that was really weird,

303
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.159
kind of ominous. We went about our business. Maybe thirty

304
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.440
minutes later we hear what sound like it was a

305
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:58.159
tree coming down, Like it was like that the and

306
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:02.279
like he he said towards me, like what are you doing?

307
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.840
And I'm like, dude, that is still not me. That

308
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.160
is like way out there, and it was just he

309
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.240
kind of just left it at that, and he kind

310
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.359
of went back to getting his things set up, and

311
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.680
I'm sitting up in my cot and my sleeping bag,

312
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.519
thinking like, man, what was making that colinoise? What's this

313
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.079
tree sound like? Is there like a cow over there

314
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.559
in distress, but it had me on edge. So I

315
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.480
basically went to bed with my rifle under my cot

316
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.279
just in case, just have it close by instead of

317
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.920
into jeep, and I start dozing off. I start falling asleep.

318
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.000
And it was a very bright moon night. I could

319
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.240
see very clearly, and we were kind of in a

320
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.160
circular grove of trees, and out in front of us

321
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.759
was like the valley we drove through to get in,

322
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.839
and the moonlight was really bright on this valley, and

323
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.119
behind the valley it was a very like line of

324
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:58.319
trees that you could see the valley behind them. And

325
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.319
it's kind of hard to explain because exactly what I saw,

326
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:06.480
but I remember just waking up and feeling really really terrified.

327
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.720
And this I think. I woke up and checked my

328
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:10.720
phone and it was somewhere about two in the morning.

329
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:12.920
I just woke up and I was really scared. I

330
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.759
checked my phone. Yeah, it says I about two in

331
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.880
the morning, and I'm sitting up. My eyes are addressing

332
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.519
and I'm looking and straight ahead of me in that field,

333
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.799
I could just see a dark mass moving and I

334
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.960
mean these sagebrush are like four feet high, and this

335
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.640
was easily another four feet above it, and it was

336
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.359
just moving from right to left into a tree line

337
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.880
that went to our left. And I could tell it

338
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:41.119
was vertically walking because of the shape of it going

339
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.319
in between the trees that were in the distance with

340
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.079
the bright valley shining between them. It wasn't horizontal. It

341
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.559
wasn't like an elk that we have up in Utah.

342
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.599
It wasn't a really large deer because it wouldn't have

343
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.119
been tall enough to make that. But I could prob

344
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.720
that this thing was vertical. And it was maybe one

345
00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.799
hundred and fifty yards in front of me, and I

346
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.839
just watched this thing move from right to left and

347
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.000
go into the tree line. And I sat there just

348
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.480
mesmerized in fear and amazement of what I just saw,

349
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.640
because it I don't know, I don't know what else

350
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.640
to explain. It was very tall, it was very dark,

351
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.079
it was moving from right to left. It I was

352
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.680
trying to place like there shouldn't be anybody up here,

353
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.039
like we are so away from anybody. So I'm sitting

354
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.599
there for about a half an hour or so after

355
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.519
this thing happened, I finally get the courage. I get

356
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:34.720
my rifle, just shouldered, slinged and I walk over to

357
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.640
where my coworkers sleep and he is like out cold

358
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.599
and I'm shaking. I'm like, hey, I wake him up,

359
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.240
and he wakes up and I'm like, hey, there's something

360
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.519
that just walked from right to left. And we just

361
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.559
and he's like, really, what did it look like? It

362
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.160
was like an elk was it and anything? It was like,

363
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.799
I don't know what it was, but it was weird.

364
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.839
I just like, just listen.

365
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.759
And we were just sitting in the forest, just listening,

366
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:59.599
and we could just distantly hear something walking super soft,

367
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.359
super slow, maybe one hundred yards into the forest line

368
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.759
to our left, and it was just this very ominous feeling.

369
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.799
And we maybe sat there until we just didn't hear

370
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.119
it anymore for maybe an hour or two. You know, now

371
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.440
it's getting close to four four point thirty in the morning.

372
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.160
We just agreed that whatever it was is gone. We

373
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.200
went back to our sleeping bags bog. I didn't sleep

374
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.440
a wink. I laid there until the sun started to

375
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.400
come up. And as soon as yet the sun came up,

376
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.160
we both were just like, yeah, let's just pack and

377
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.039
get the hell out of here. We packed up and

378
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.279
drove out, and it was just this really weird experience,

379
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.799
like nothing got close. I couldn't see detail, I didn't

380
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.759
see fur. It was just something a normally large, really tall,

381
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.720
like my estimate would be about eight feet tall, and

382
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.359
it was definitely bipedal. It was definitely walking up right.

383
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.640
And so that's my story.

384
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.759
Well that is wild, dude. Is was there any weird

385
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.359
smell going on during that time?

386
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.000
I think there was no smell. There was just a

387
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.279
slight breeze and I'm sure it was down wind from us. Yeah,

388
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.200
no smell, but yeah, there was just these events of

389
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.720
like this weird like I thought it was a cow

390
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:19.240
like being wounded. It was just a weird, loud yell.

391
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.799
And then the tree crashing maybe a half an hour after,

392
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.880
was the one that was like, I mean, I'm a

393
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.960
bigfoot lover, you know, I watched all the shows finding

394
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.279
Bigfoot in sorts of sasquatch and all that stuff. You know,

395
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.720
I know that the things that they report that have happened,

396
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.079
and so that was like the first thing that started

397
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.559
going off. As soon as I heard the tree was

398
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.279
almost like a joke, like, well, dude, I think we're

399
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.880
dealing with a sasquatch over here.

400
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.039
But like, I wasn't full of serious.

401
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.240
Until I woke up, and it was just a weird,

402
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.720
like I don't know why I woke up afraid, Like

403
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.920
it was just weird. I I kind of woke up

404
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.200
a couple times before that just to roll over whatever,

405
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.440
it was nothing, But this time I just woke up

406
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.680
and it was just like this primal kind of a

407
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.640
fear that just alerted me, and I sat up just

408
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.480
at the moment as this thing was crossing through this field.

409
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.160
So it was like some weird energy or something it

410
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.759
was given off that woke me up, that made me

411
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.079
feel that way. It's just odd.

412
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.680
Have you ever looked to see if other people have

413
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.079
had similar experiences in that same area.

414
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.599
Not really.

415
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.920
I mean I kept this story just close with like

416
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.759
my wife and my parents and a couple friends, and

417
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.400
they kind of all gave me like the usual, like

418
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.480
that's pretty interesting. We're not sure what it is, but

419
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.079
I don't know. And I've tried to kind of open

420
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.319
up in settings in that area more about it or

421
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.000
look into it. But it really seems like if anything

422
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.640
more stuff has happened in northern Utah, stuff has happened

423
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:51.680
more in the Basin area. In those mountain ranges. I mean,

424
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.039
I remember there was like a video released maybe what

425
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.599
was it like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty two, somewhere around

426
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.680
in those years of something in like Provo. But as

427
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:06.000
far as southern Utah, you know nothing much. When I

428
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:07.599
was a kid, my dad used to work for the

429
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.680
Pioed Indian tribe as a drug and alcohol counselor, so

430
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:13.839
he was always going on to their reservations and we

431
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.400
were busying with him, and the elders there would also

432
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.960
talk about those that specific like Cedar Canyon, like yeah,

433
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.480
we don't go there at night, and we don't go

434
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.200
to Zion National Park at night because you know, they

435
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.200
had the spirits, rome and entities and things roam at

436
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:32.160
night in these areas that they kind of avoided. I

437
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.079
remember hearing that as a kid being like, oh, kind

438
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.160
of spooky, kind of cool. I don't know what's going on,

439
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.640
really nothing outside of that, and tell this experience.

440
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.480
Wow, that's wild to hear that that extra piece of

441
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.720
info that always makes you wonder when you hear about

442
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:55.400
the you know, certain certain First Nations individuals having things

443
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.359
about certain areas, and then you hear bigfoot reports from

444
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.319
the same area. Have you gone back to that same

445
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.480
area since then?

446
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.240
I haven't. I mean I know where the area is

447
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:06.359
and I can get close to it in the vehicles.

448
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.039
I just don't have a good enough four by four

449
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.559
that I can get us out to that location. Like

450
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.279
my coworker head is jeep. Like, I have a buddy

451
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.920
who has a vehicle will probably take us out into

452
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.000
that area. But now I haven't returned to it, but

453
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:24.920
I'd be willing to. I think on my Google Maps

454
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:29.119
on my computer, I've also dotted the exact location we

455
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.000
were camping, just if I ever kind of forget like

456
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:33.480
I did it like the first thing when I got

457
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.920
back home, I'm like, I need to mark this as

458
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.559
a map because I need to remember this place.

459
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:38.839
Yeah.

460
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.160
No, that's a great idea, man. Even when I go out,

461
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.799
I'll even use something like on X and I'll just

462
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.200
have it track my route right because you never know

463
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.319
right and it's done, it's super easy to get back.

464
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:51.960
But that is a good idea as well. But dude,

465
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:54.680
thank you so much for coming up and for sharing

466
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.680
what you experienced. I think I've heard from maybe actually

467
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.960
two other individuals. One was west of Cedar City, somewhere

468
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.440
and one was down to Zion. So your area is

469
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.200
same region but a different, different place. So it's good

470
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.000
to know there's more going on down there. But thank

471
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.880
you so much for coming up, for coming up, man,

472
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:17.680
for sharing your experience.

473
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:23.920
I had no thank you, no problem.

474
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:30.640
Hey Ocean, how are you hello, Good afternoon, Hey, thanks

475
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.119
for coming up. Feel free to share what your experience was, sir.

476
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.880
So it's very recently.

477
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.240
Actually, yesterday I had an encounter and in Connecticut.

478
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:44.039
It's Waterford, Connecticut.

479
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.519
We were about ten miles away from the Mohegan Reservation

480
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.640
where they're always spotted. It's like a massed out there

481
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.400
for tons of paranormal stuff.

482
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.839
And so yesterday I went for a dirt back ride.

483
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.279
So usually I like to find the most desolate as

484
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:05.480
I could find, and so I come across this in

485
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:08.319
the middle of nowhere, this trail and it leads to

486
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:13.559
Walmart a few miles away. So something told me to

487
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:17.720
ride this trail, like you know, instinctively. So I'm riding

488
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:22.799
on this trail. I had my bike and I'm going

489
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.240
pretty fast, so I didn't really get to see fully

490
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.079
what it is at the exact moment, but I'm speeding by,

491
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.440
and I look to my left while I'm zooming.

492
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.559
I'm maybe a mile and a half in on this trail,

493
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.559
and I see something that's, you know, maybe seven and

494
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.640
a half to eight feet tall, running and with not

495
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.000
long brown here, but it's got brown here.

496
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.880
And it just zoomed by like I could tell that

497
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.839
I disturbed it for me driving by my it was

498
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:58.079
part of the side of my motorcycle. And so I'm

499
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.240
driving past and I'm like, wait, what you know, I

500
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.640
double take. I'm like, no way, So I keep going.

501
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.359
And while I keep driving up, there's a fork in

502
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.200
the road. And I've never been on this trail, well,

503
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.480
a fork in the trail in this passage. Each of

504
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.680
these two of the split, there's like a little like lake,

505
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.279
like a little ravine. So I wasn't trying to, you know,

506
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.799
maybe risk going straight through it.

507
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:24.720
So I stopped my bike. You know, I'm like, you

508
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.440
know what, let me just you know, stop my bike

509
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:28.200
and let me.

510
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.920
Just you know, observe the area, let me see if

511
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.799
I could hear anything around me. So I wasn't, you know,

512
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.400
trying to go further to get my bike stuck. So

513
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:37.240
I was like, you know what, let me post here

514
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.240
and then make my way head my way back, but

515
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:42.279
I want to hear what's going around me first, So

516
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.200
I stopped my bike, and all of a sudden, man,

517
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:49.359
I kid you not, I got goosebump singing about it.

518
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:53.519
All the everything around me is moving and I'm hearing

519
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.079
the whoop whoop and all these calls all around me

520
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:57.880
while I'm on my bike. So I kid you not,

521
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.200
these are all coming from the spot where I just came,

522
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:02.160
the exact trail.

523
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.920
So ahead of me, I have a split in the

524
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.480
road where.

525
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.440
I can't even drive because it's a big ravine, and

526
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.440
this is coming from the exact spot where I just came.

527
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.880
The only way out, so I decided to head out.

528
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.240
And while I'm heading out, I kid you now, I

529
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.039
see maybe two of them to my left and also

530
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.279
one more to my right. I've seen I've seen multiple

531
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.000
of them running by, like running away, like my bike

532
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.079
was disturbing them, the sign of my exhaust.

533
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.400
It's a lot of motorcycle. It's a two point fifty,

534
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:39.079
you know car, it's a big bike.

535
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.680
And that's when I drive by, and then that's where

536
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.200
I realized, you know, there's something here.

537
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.119
I kept hearing the whoop tree knocking as well.

538
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.319
And when once I started hearing them from that pause,

539
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:54.519
when there's that split in that ravine, that's when I said,

540
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.519
you know what, I've turned my bike and I'm getting

541
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.279
the heck out of here.

542
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.480
And I feel like I disturbed their piece and.

543
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.279
I didn't you know, Yeah, I feel like I was

544
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.640
just intruding and I left it. The crazy thing about

545
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.079
it is there's many many stories and sightings in this

546
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:11.279
exact spot I was in.

547
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:17.359
Wow, Okay, it's very interesting. What time would you say

548
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:17.720
that was?

549
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.799
Approximately right after a sundown? Maybe around eight ish? I

550
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:23.880
would say.

551
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:26.400
So eight pm Eastern.

552
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.799
And it's just.

553
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.359
Crazy because as soon as I hit I kind of

554
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.160
wish that my bike, You know that I stalled it

555
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.079
a little earlier so I could hear more of that

556
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:37.440
was around me surrounding me.

557
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:39.839
Yeah.

558
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:44.720
Absolutely, How long would you say the whole encounter took

559
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.079
place for.

560
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.559
A good fifteen minutes?

561
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:54.240
Okay, And usually get intimidated, but I'll tell you what,

562
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.440
something instinctively told me to get the heck out of there.

563
00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.559
Yeah.

564
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:03.039
Absolutely so. The main the main one you saw was

565
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:08.440
about eight foot tall, tall, brown hair. Yes, then you

566
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.200
saw us some more after that. Can you describe what

567
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.519
those look like?

568
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:19.119
Those ones were smaller with a lighter shade brown, and

569
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.799
they were basically.

570
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.720
All like scooting away from the sound of my exhaust.

571
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.920
And I would say one of them was probably my height,

572
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.160
around six feet, and then the other one was shorter,

573
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.960
maybe four and a half to five feet three.

574
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.559
All together, I still can't believe this.

575
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.119
I have.

576
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.680
I recorded it on my way out of.

577
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.319
The trail, just in case if I did see something,

578
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.759
but I didn't get anything on the on the video.

579
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:50.599
But you could almost sense it even in the video

580
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.599
of me leaving the.

581
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:57.279
Trails, Okay, was just yourself out there right, no one

582
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:04.559
else with you? Yes, okay? And is this area known

583
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.880
by locals by a certain name or is it is

584
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.920
there a name for it on a map.

585
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:15.000
It's basically it's off the Hartford Turnpike.

586
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.519
It's a long stretch of a long road that goes

587
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.079
on and on, and there's trails all along it.

588
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.880
So I'm always going on different trails each time, and

589
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.599
this one is it's.

590
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:31.000
Almost it's right behind like a wall, like miles and

591
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:32.319
miles behind a walmart.

592
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.640
This trail leads right to the walmart.

593
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.680
Okay, So if you were to say, like Harford Turnpike

594
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:39.799
behind the walmart.

595
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:41.839
Yes, Waterford, I gotcha.

596
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.680
It's it's not very desolate compared to what I've hiked

597
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.839
and went on trails, but it has this very area

598
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:53.279
feeling for sure that you could tell that there's something

599
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:54.160
dwelling in there.

600
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.160
And I trusted my gut because I kind of knew.

601
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:00.279
You know, sometimes I really like to explore stuff when

602
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:03.160
I have that feeling because it's never wrong, and I

603
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.240
might a bit off more than I could chew this time.

604
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:10.400
M h no, absolutely, So how are you feeling today

605
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:13.240
after having that experience? I mean, that's still pretty recent

606
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:13.720
for you.

607
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.119
I kind of want to go back, to be quite honest,

608
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.319
I think I'm going to go back, but I'm not

609
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.279
gonna go on my motorcycle because I wasn't able to hear.

610
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:25.960
I wish I was able to hear it around me

611
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.200
because I could see all the stuff ruffling around and

612
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.160
you know, all the bushes and the trees, but I

613
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:32.079
wasn't able.

614
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.559
To, you know, essentially see hear it all because the

615
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:36.400
sound of my exhaust.

616
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.519
So I'm going to go back on my electric one

617
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:40.759
so and that way I could hear it all better

618
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.680
and observe my areas and make a nice recording of.

619
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:50.559
It, gotcha. I'm just I just want to look at

620
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.759
it on a map. Okay. So there's the Walmart, and

621
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:59.480
then is it? Is it across So there's the Walmart Supercenter,

622
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.119
and then is it across ninety five on the other

623
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:04.599
side of ninety five And there's all that area over there.

624
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.599
Yeah, that giant wooded area.

625
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:11.400
Yeah yeah, okay, gotcha, yep, okay, so it's in there.

626
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:16.079
It's just crazy because the only way out was where

627
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.960
I actually seen them, and I was honestly, I didn't

628
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.839
really It took me a while to grow courage to,

629
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.559
you know, say okay, I'm just gonna gun it. I'm

630
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:28.720
just gonna you know, full throttle all the way back.

631
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.039
But I didn't want them at the same time because

632
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.160
I also wanted to observe, you know, So it.

633
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.440
Was like a stricky scenario.

634
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.680
Well, I'm gonna go back on the e bike, okay,

635
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.119
So then I could you know, get some nice recordings

636
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.880
and see what it is.

637
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:43.759
Check out the footprints. I'm gonna do that all.

638
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:49.960
Today, gotcha. That's that's wild stuff. Could I would you

639
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.359
be cool if I make a video about this as well.

640
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.240
I might make a definitely sometimes I make videos about

641
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:59.640
stuff for social media, but yeah, definitely keep me, keep

642

to talk to so many people last year and the

year before. It is an incredible time. You're not going

691
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.239
to want to miss it, and I'll see you there.

692
00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:13.840
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something

693
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.119
directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're

694
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:20.920
in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've

695
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.760
seen something that no one can explain, or if you're

696
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:27.079
a National Park ranger or forestry worker who's been told

697
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.079
to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen

698
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:33.400
something strange down on the ground, or if you're with

699
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:37.000
the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you

700
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:40.239
stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And

701
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:43.639
if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder

702
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.000
who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense,

703
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:51.360
if you're in the logging industry, on a remote oil field,

704
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.519
or a trucker with government contracts, and you've had something

705
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:58.039
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

706
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.920
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

707
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:05.320
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

708
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.320
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

709
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:11.840
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

710
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.639
or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or

711
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:19.039
anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't,

712
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:23.880
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

713
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:29.159
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

714
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.039
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

715
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:38.000
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

716
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:42.239
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

719
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.800
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

720
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.679
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
