Cree Elder Sasquatch Face-Off, Utah Midnight Giant & Connecticut Pack Encounter!

0:00 You're listening to Bigfah Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us hither. How's it going going? Pretty good, my friend? Awesome. Feel free to share what your experience was, sir. It was a late in nineteen eighty two or eighty one.

0:44 I can't remember at the exact date, but I know it was in the eighties. It was about Oh. I'm CEO is about eighteen years old then, and I'm a Woodland Cree First Nations Native man, and we always go to our trapline area where we grew up. And my grandfather told me to go set some rabbits snares and take my cousins with me so I can teach them how to set rabbit snares and live and survive out in the wilderness. Right, So we went across the lake because it's really thick there and full of vegetation. There's a lot of rabbits there. So I made some rabbit snares. I took them with the canoe. I paddled across. It was about i'd say about oh, I've been seeing about two or three in the evening, and it was a nice sunny day, kind of muggy, and it was not fall, but it was late August when we went over there, because we usually harvest animals before fall, like we collect rabbits, I mean berries and wild meat like grouse, and later in the September we hunt moose, right, so we basically lived on wild meat. Anyways, at that time, I took my cousins with me. There's four of us there, and I took my little twenty two compaction with me, thinking i'd see small game. Right from where the shoreline is to where a rabbit area is, it's only about fifty yards from where we started setting rabbit snares. So as we got out of the canoe, I said, okay, here's some rabbit snares. Let's go. I'm going to show you, guys.

2:14 So I led the pack. I left the gun in a canoe, and then we went to this nice opening I foundin rabbit trails. I started teaching them this is how you find rabbit trails, and this is how you set them up. So I set up one. Okay, your guys, just true. So I was you know, they're doing it. They're crouched down and they got some sticks. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I started feeling like something was watching me from behind. I had this really uneasy feeling. I've never had that feeling in my life, and the hairs on my neck and my arm started to stand straight up. I did not feel comfortable at all. I just looked around the bush behind me, and I told them.

2:54 I told my cousin, hey, I'm going to go back to the canoe and get a gun. And I didn't want to tell them why, but I didn't feel protected at all whatsoever. So I went walking back there real slowly, looking around through the bush. And then I I got my twenty two and I put a whole bunch of bullets in my pocket, and I kind of shrugged it off. I thought, ah, you know, I don't know what it is, but you know, I'm going to be ready anyway, but I didn't load the gun. And as I was walking back about twenty yards, I seen the shadow across the path and then I looked at the shadow and I followed the shadow, and here is this big poot right there, about three or four feet I think it was so close.

3:36 I could see him looking at my cousins, and I said, how in the heck did I miss it? Like, I don't know how I could not see it at the first time, But anyways, I saw him pulling the bush back to keep an eye on my cousins. And then I couldn't breathe. I just couldn't breathe. I just I was such in shock seeing this thing. And I swear that thing was nine or ten feet tall. It was so huge. And anyways, I finally took a gas by air and he heard that and he had to move his shoulder to the right to look down on me to see who I was, and he saw me shaking. I was just and I was just terrified. But anyways, after that, he didn't really care about me. He was more worried about my cousins. He was worried about what he couldn't see. He was not worried about what he could see, which was me, right. And I tried my best to load the gun, but I was shaking so bad.

4:34 I couldn't take the tubuler off the pump action because there's a big tube there, eh, and then you can put in twelve bullets in there. But he heard that squeaking of that my tubuler, and you look back at me, and I said, I don't think I want to load this gun. I don't want him become after me. I was so terrified, Oh my goodness. And then I started breathing better, but my heart was pounding so much. And I swear it was only about two or three minutes when I saw this thing. And anyways, I looked up and down the body. I've seen how huge the feet were, the calves of that thing. It was so huge. And he had no neck. He had muscle all the way up to his head. Uh. His the whites in his eyes were red and uh, he didn't have black eyes, I mean brown eyes. He had black eyes and his uh, his eyebrows, the bone part on top of his head, was protruding out. I mean, he was massive, he had great big teeth, he had great big jaw, and his jawsh kind of stuck out, but he definitely had a cone head, and he had hair all over and on his back he had stringy hair that was long. And then when he made a little move, the sun protruded from the from his back and Sean hunt his back and it went red. The sun when it hit his back went red. His hair went red. But in the dark it was dark. So I've seen that, and you know,

6:05 three minutes, like an hour right when you're terrified. That's what happened to me. And anyway, after that, he looked at me again, and then he looked for my cousins and he started holding pushing the bush back, and he's sneaking away on me, and I could see him walking away, and I was still in shock. I didn't know what to do. I've never seen a creature lay down my whole life. My grandfathers and I'm always talked about him, but that was the first time. And then after that, I kind of shook it off and running to my cousin, I said, drop everything, let's get body here. What's going on. I can't tell you. Just get in the canoe. Let's go right now. And I paddled so fast to the cabin.

6:49 They got me. They helped me get water and wood inside the cabin, and we tipped the beds over and blocked the door, and we loaded all the guns. I had a thirty thirty shot gone three h three and twenty two, so we love it all. I was so terrified, and I finally told him I seen a sasquatch or a bigfoot or a big guy. You know. I didn't know how to explain it to him, so they got all terrified. So we had a hard time sleeping that night. I think I went to bed about I don't know about twelve or one. I can't remember. It didn't seem like long when we woke up. But anyway, this is what happened. After that. My grandfather came came to the cabin, and thank god I wasn't awake. I might have shot through the door. But he got into the cabin and he said, in cree, Danny Oma, Danny gooma. He said, what's wrong? I told Grandpa about the bigfoot. Oh yeah, that's not that's not a problem, I said. We used to see those things all the time. As long as you don't bother them, they won't bother you. And then he started telling me stories about when he was to check his nets and he'd find no fish in the nets.

8:03 Then he finally saw this guy standing there. There was a bigfoot scretrying off with his fish. He had a handful of fish with him, and he said, I was scared to do it to it first, but after a few more visits, he said, I wasn't scared anymore because they're not there to hurt you, and don't hurt them, don't ever shoot them. They're they're a part of nature. And you don't eat You don't kill what you don't eat. He said, every animal you take, you have to eat it. And are you going to eat a bigfoot? And I said no, Well there you go. Don't ever kill them, don't ever shoot them unless they attack. If they attack, then you have no choice. But those animals, they're not dangerous as far as I know, from what I've learned as a young man and the stories our grandparents has told us about those creatures that we call them, and and now some people call them weak to go away.

8:55 Some you know in our language. There's different names for bigfoot in our language. Yeah, so yeah, I just wanted to share that story you've been keeping all these years, Like that was when I was eighteen and I'm sixty two now, and I wanted to share it with somebody, get it. Off my chest. Was that the first time, one of the first times you've shared that story. I've shared it with only my family and with my brothers and sisters. That's it. Yeah, and they believe me, and I know what happened after that. After that incident, the next day, me and my cousin went back with cocked and loaded with guns, and we've seen the bigfoot tracks.

9:37 It was actually sunken into the moss and you can see every detail of that footprint, five footprints we saw. You can see the toes, everything, the heel, the middle part of the foot, and all the moss. I was ripped off the ground as well. So yeah, we knew what it was after that was confirmed there And another incident that happened was me and my uncle were hunting and we hit the river. It was so cold, but we didn't have good winter weather, so we rolled down the windows and we started calling moose from out the window. Then we heard this horrific scream coming from the lake, the bay of the lake that leads to the No River that least to the lake. I knew exactly where they're calling from, and it sounded like two bigfoot fighting, and you can hear them like if I can do a little sample of it. They're going like and the other one went raw like that, like a big argument, and we heard it for about five minutes, and then you can hear these horrific slammed on the ground, like somebody was flipping somebody and hitting the ground. And then we can hear these branches crashing on a tree. And after we hear it, and all of a sudden quiet and they're arguing again, and you can hear them going further and further away from us, till we couldn't hear them no more. So my uncle said, let's go back

11:10 to the cabin. I said, that's not an animal, that is a creature. He said, I don't want to be out here. So we went back to the cabin and I swhere. We couldn't sleep that night. But anyways, after that, I told uncle, I'm going to take the three with you, and I'm going to check exactly where that place. And you say, yeah, go ahead, but be careful. And I went over there. That paddled all the way right to the bay of that river, and I got off to the side. I seen some matted down grass and I went there and I went looking. I can see a bunch of this bigfoot hair all over this tree and all the branches on it. Not all of the b but up to about i'd say about eight feet high were broken on both sides of that tree. And I can see bigfoot tracks in the water. But the water was clouded up, you know what I mean. It's like muddy water, but you can literally see the bigfoot track came in the water or came out from the water.

12:05 I don't know. But what I learned was I tracked all around that area, made a grid search looking for footprints on the ground. I couldn't find any. So the only thing I could come up with they came in from the water and left to the water to get out of there. And I had it eerie feeling again, and I said, hanging again, see it again. So that's my story about the bigfoot in our area here. That is, Man, what a fascinating account. Can you share the location for both of those accounts. It's called let me remember here, okay, it's called mcfillion Lake, mcfillion Lake, and it made me changed to Desmond Lake because my cousin died at the trap land and we wanted the name change to Desmond Lake, and that's what they were going to do. But I don't know if they did or not. But it's called mcphillian Lake in the northern Saskatchewan. It's about an hour past Montreal Lake and heading towards Green Lake. You'll see mcphillian there.

13:15 Okay, so, and I'm sorry to hear that happens here, cousin. Definitely. I think they did actually change it to Desmond. Is this in British Columbia, by ma'am Att Lake? No, this is in Saskatchewan, Canada. Okay, gotcha, So it's in Saskatchewan. Okay. I will have to do further looking into that. But thank you so much for coming up and for sharing what you've experienced. This will help a lot of listeners I think, work through what they've experienced as well. Thank you, sir, you bet you you appreciate you. Have a good day, Kip. Yeah, wow, that was incredible. I cannot imagine living through something like that.

14:03 Hey Louis, how are you? I'm doing very good? Are you doing? Hey good? Feel free to share what your experience was, and if possible, if you could start out by sharing the general or the location or area it took place in. Okay, Yeah, it took place in southern Utah in twenty sixteen. If you're familiar where Zion National Park is, it's about fifteen miles north of there, in a small town called Cedar City. Up there canyon you get close to a place called Cedar Breaks very pretty. There's lots of photos of it out there. And yeah, I grew up in that area and have visited up that canyon of the mountain my entire life. But in twenty eighteen, I was working as an artist for a company and me and a coworker who used to go camping all the time.

14:58 He just invited me and I was like, yeah, sure, that sounds like a lot of fun. A couple other coworkers said they were going to go, so we're like, let's, you know, go up this upcoming weekend go camping. He's like, yeah, I have a cool jeep, goes off road. We can go places deep into the forest, way away from like the designated camping grounds all that stuff. He's like, I've been up there multiple times, and like cool. So, yeah, we're driving up the canyon. We take this dirt road and we're going and we're going, and we're like fifteen miles just into the thick woods of sagebrush valleys and thick woods and sagebrush valleys. You know, we're not seeing any dirt trails and nothing. So we're out there pretty far. And you know, we spent the first day pretty normal. It was just you know, shooting guns, campfire, that kind of fun stuff. As it started to get in night time. Oh, I should also preface that it turned out that just me and the one coworker went on this trip. Two other coworkers just couldn't make it. One you know, had to tend to his family and one just never responded.

15:56 So it was just me and this other co worker. We're up there and it's getting close to sunset. We've eaten, we've oughtne all that stuff. We're kind of just getting like making sure our little sleeping areas is ready. And he's off kind of in the tree line, and I'm more near the jeep and uh, just off to maybe like three hundred yards off to the right, we just hear what sounds like a cow getting murdered. It was just as like like a crazy like it kind of sounded bovine, but it was so loud and such a weird call. And like we both were stopped and we kind of looked atach other and he was just like what was that? And I'm like, I have no idea what that was. But it was three to four hundred yards through a tree line to our right, and it was just one of those like that was really weird, kind of ominous. We went about our business. Maybe thirty minutes later we hear what sound like it was a tree coming down, Like it was like that the and like he he said towards me, like what are you doing?

17:02 And I'm like, dude, that is still not me. That is like way out there, and it was just he kind of just left it at that, and he kind of went back to getting his things set up, and I'm sitting up in my cot and my sleeping bag, thinking like, man, what was making that colinoise? What's this tree sound like? Is there like a cow over there in distress, but it had me on edge. So I basically went to bed with my rifle under my cot just in case, just have it close by instead of into jeep, and I start dozing off. I start falling asleep. And it was a very bright moon night. I could see very clearly, and we were kind of in a circular grove of trees, and out in front of us was like the valley we drove through to get in, and the moonlight was really bright on this valley, and behind the valley it was a very like line of trees that you could see the valley behind them. And it's kind of hard to explain because exactly what I saw, but I remember just waking up and feeling really really terrified.

18:07 And this I think. I woke up and checked my phone and it was somewhere about two in the morning. I just woke up and I was really scared. I checked my phone. Yeah, it says I about two in the morning, and I'm sitting up. My eyes are addressing and I'm looking and straight ahead of me in that field, I could just see a dark mass moving and I mean these sagebrush are like four feet high, and this was easily another four feet above it, and it was just moving from right to left into a tree line that went to our left. And I could tell it was vertically walking because of the shape of it going in between the trees that were in the distance with the bright valley shining between them. It wasn't horizontal. It wasn't like an elk that we have up in Utah.

18:50 It wasn't a really large deer because it wouldn't have been tall enough to make that. But I could prob that this thing was vertical. And it was maybe one hundred and fifty yards in front of me, and I just watched this thing move from right to left and go into the tree line. And I sat there just mesmerized in fear and amazement of what I just saw, because it I don't know, I don't know what else to explain. It was very tall, it was very dark, it was moving from right to left. It I was trying to place like there shouldn't be anybody up here, like we are so away from anybody. So I'm sitting there for about a half an hour or so after this thing happened, I finally get the courage. I get my rifle, just shouldered, slinged and I walk over to where my coworkers sleep and he is like out cold and I'm shaking. I'm like, hey, I wake him up, and he wakes up and I'm like, hey, there's something that just walked from right to left. And we just and he's like, really, what did it look like? It was like an elk was it and anything? It was like, I don't know what it was, but it was weird.

19:51 I just like, just listen. And we were just sitting in the forest, just listening, and we could just distantly hear something walking super soft, super slow, maybe one hundred yards into the forest line to our left, and it was just this very ominous feeling. And we maybe sat there until we just didn't hear it anymore for maybe an hour or two. You know, now it's getting close to four four point thirty in the morning. We just agreed that whatever it was is gone. We went back to our sleeping bags bog. I didn't sleep a wink. I laid there until the sun started to come up. And as soon as yet the sun came up, we both were just like, yeah, let's just pack and get the hell out of here. We packed up and drove out, and it was just this really weird experience, like nothing got close. I couldn't see detail, I didn't see fur. It was just something a normally large, really tall, like my estimate would be about eight feet tall, and it was definitely bipedal. It was definitely walking up right.

20:51 And so that's my story. Well that is wild, dude. Is was there any weird smell going on during that time? I think there was no smell. There was just a slight breeze and I'm sure it was down wind from us. Yeah, no smell, but yeah, there was just these events of like this weird like I thought it was a cow like being wounded. It was just a weird, loud yell. And then the tree crashing maybe a half an hour after, was the one that was like, I mean, I'm a bigfoot lover, you know, I watched all the shows finding Bigfoot in sorts of sasquatch and all that stuff. You know, I know that the things that they report that have happened, and so that was like the first thing that started going off. As soon as I heard the tree was almost like a joke, like, well, dude, I think we're dealing with a sasquatch over here.

21:41 But like, I wasn't full of serious. Until I woke up, and it was just a weird, like I don't know why I woke up afraid, Like it was just weird. I I kind of woke up a couple times before that just to roll over whatever, it was nothing, But this time I just woke up and it was just like this primal kind of a fear that just alerted me, and I sat up just at the moment as this thing was crossing through this field. So it was like some weird energy or something it was given off that woke me up, that made me feel that way. It's just odd. Have you ever looked to see if other people have had similar experiences in that same area. Not really. I mean I kept this story just close with like my wife and my parents and a couple friends, and they kind of all gave me like the usual, like that's pretty interesting. We're not sure what it is, but I don't know. And I've tried to kind of open up in settings in that area more about it or look into it. But it really seems like if anything more stuff has happened in northern Utah, stuff has happened more in the Basin area. In those mountain ranges. I mean, I remember there was like a video released maybe what was it like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty two, somewhere around in those years of something in like Provo. But as far as southern Utah, you know nothing much. When I was a kid, my dad used to work for the Pioed Indian tribe as a drug and alcohol counselor, so he was always going on to their reservations and we

23:13 were busying with him, and the elders there would also talk about those that specific like Cedar Canyon, like yeah, we don't go there at night, and we don't go to Zion National Park at night because you know, they had the spirits, rome and entities and things roam at night in these areas that they kind of avoided. I remember hearing that as a kid being like, oh, kind of spooky, kind of cool. I don't know what's going on, really nothing outside of that, and tell this experience. Wow, that's wild to hear that that extra piece of info that always makes you wonder when you hear about the you know, certain certain First Nations individuals having things about certain areas, and then you hear bigfoot reports from the same area. Have you gone back to that same area since then?

24:02 I haven't. I mean I know where the area is and I can get close to it in the vehicles. I just don't have a good enough four by four that I can get us out to that location. Like my coworker head is jeep. Like, I have a buddy who has a vehicle will probably take us out into that area. But now I haven't returned to it, but I'd be willing to. I think on my Google Maps on my computer, I've also dotted the exact location we were camping, just if I ever kind of forget like I did it like the first thing when I got back home, I'm like, I need to mark this as a map because I need to remember this place. Yeah. No, that's a great idea, man. Even when I go out, I'll even use something like on X and I'll just have it track my route right because you never know right and it's done, it's super easy to get back.

24:49 But that is a good idea as well. But dude, thank you so much for coming up and for sharing what you experienced. I think I've heard from maybe actually two other individuals. One was west of Cedar City, somewhere and one was down to Zion. So your area is same region but a different, different place. So it's good to know there's more going on down there. But thank you so much for coming up, for coming up, man, for sharing your experience. I had no thank you, no problem. Hey Ocean, how are you hello, Good afternoon, Hey, thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what your experience was, sir.

25:35 So it's very recently. Actually, yesterday I had an encounter and in Connecticut. It's Waterford, Connecticut. We were about ten miles away from the Mohegan Reservation where they're always spotted. It's like a massed out there for tons of paranormal stuff. And so yesterday I went for a dirt back ride. So usually I like to find the most desolate as I could find, and so I come across this in the middle of nowhere, this trail and it leads to Walmart a few miles away. So something told me to ride this trail, like you know, instinctively. So I'm riding on this trail. I had my bike and I'm going pretty fast, so I didn't really get to see fully what it is at the exact moment, but I'm speeding by, and I look to my left while I'm zooming.

26:33 I'm maybe a mile and a half in on this trail, and I see something that's, you know, maybe seven and a half to eight feet tall, running and with not long brown here, but it's got brown here. And it just zoomed by like I could tell that I disturbed it for me driving by my it was part of the side of my motorcycle. And so I'm driving past and I'm like, wait, what you know, I double take. I'm like, no way, So I keep going. And while I keep driving up, there's a fork in the road. And I've never been on this trail, well, a fork in the trail in this passage. Each of these two of the split, there's like a little like lake, like a little ravine. So I wasn't trying to, you know, maybe risk going straight through it.

27:22 So I stopped my bike. You know, I'm like, you know what, let me just you know, stop my bike and let me. Just you know, observe the area, let me see if I could hear anything around me. So I wasn't, you know, trying to go further to get my bike stuck. So I was like, you know what, let me post here and then make my way head my way back, but I want to hear what's going around me first, So I stopped my bike, and all of a sudden, man, I kid you not, I got goosebump singing about it. All the everything around me is moving and I'm hearing the whoop whoop and all these calls all around me while I'm on my bike. So I kid you not, these are all coming from the spot where I just came, the exact trail.

28:02 So ahead of me, I have a split in the road where. I can't even drive because it's a big ravine, and this is coming from the exact spot where I just came. The only way out, so I decided to head out. And while I'm heading out, I kid you now, I see maybe two of them to my left and also one more to my right. I've seen I've seen multiple of them running by, like running away, like my bike was disturbing them, the sign of my exhaust. It's a lot of motorcycle. It's a two point fifty, you know car, it's a big bike. And that's when I drive by, and then that's where I realized, you know, there's something here.

28:45 I kept hearing the whoop tree knocking as well. And when once I started hearing them from that pause, when there's that split in that ravine, that's when I said, you know what, I've turned my bike and I'm getting the heck out of here. And I feel like I disturbed their piece and. I didn't you know, Yeah, I feel like I was just intruding and I left it. The crazy thing about it is there's many many stories and sightings in this exact spot I was in. Wow, Okay, it's very interesting. What time would you say that was? Approximately right after a sundown? Maybe around eight ish? I would say. So eight pm Eastern.

29:28 And it's just. Crazy because as soon as I hit I kind of wish that my bike, You know that I stalled it a little earlier so I could hear more of that was around me surrounding me. Yeah. Absolutely, How long would you say the whole encounter took place for. A good fifteen minutes? Okay, And usually get intimidated, but I'll tell you what, something instinctively told me to get the heck out of there. Yeah. Absolutely so. The main the main one you saw was about eight foot tall, tall, brown hair. Yes, then you saw us some more after that. Can you describe what those look like?

30:13 Those ones were smaller with a lighter shade brown, and they were basically. All like scooting away from the sound of my exhaust. And I would say one of them was probably my height, around six feet, and then the other one was shorter, maybe four and a half to five feet three. All together, I still can't believe this. I have. I recorded it on my way out of. The trail, just in case if I did see something, but I didn't get anything on the on the video. But you could almost sense it even in the video of me leaving the. Trails, Okay, was just yourself out there right, no one else with you? Yes, okay? And is this area known by locals by a certain name or is it is there a name for it on a map.

31:10 It's basically it's off the Hartford Turnpike. It's a long stretch of a long road that goes on and on, and there's trails all along it. So I'm always going on different trails each time, and this one is it's. Almost it's right behind like a wall, like miles and miles behind a walmart. This trail leads right to the walmart. Okay, So if you were to say, like Harford Turnpike behind the walmart. Yes, Waterford, I gotcha. It's it's not very desolate compared to what I've hiked and went on trails, but it has this very area feeling for sure that you could tell that there's something dwelling in there.

31:54 And I trusted my gut because I kind of knew. You know, sometimes I really like to explore stuff when I have that feeling because it's never wrong, and I might a bit off more than I could chew this time. M h no, absolutely, So how are you feeling today after having that experience? I mean, that's still pretty recent for you. I kind of want to go back, to be quite honest, I think I'm going to go back, but I'm not gonna go on my motorcycle because I wasn't able to hear. I wish I was able to hear it around me because I could see all the stuff ruffling around and you know, all the bushes and the trees, but I wasn't able. To, you know, essentially see hear it all because the sound of my exhaust.

32:36 So I'm going to go back on my electric one so and that way I could hear it all better and observe my areas and make a nice recording of. It, gotcha. I'm just I just want to look at it on a map. Okay. So there's the Walmart, and then is it? Is it across So there's the Walmart Supercenter, and then is it across ninety five on the other side of ninety five And there's all that area over there. Yeah, that giant wooded area. Yeah yeah, okay, gotcha, yep, okay, so it's in there.

37:11 Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National Park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry, on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government contracts, and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

38:05 If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.
