2:17 Wow, this is pretty cool man. My name is Dave. I'm from Clark County, Ohio. I was sixty five years old, and I'm the dummy that had a slew of activity throughout my life and didn't figure it out until I finally watched Finding Bigfoot in twenty thirteen. And yeah, like me, like a lot of other people, tune in to Finding Bigfoot. Nothing else was on TV. I was going to make fun of these guys, and sure enough, within five minutes, one person after another is talking about things that they experienced and they mirror exactly what I went through. So, after seeing a couple couple shows, they had an all day marathon, actually a whole weekend marathon. I'm finding Bigwood that weekend. I'veter seeing a few shows. I figured it out. Man, it was bigfoots that I was having experience with. One of the encounters that happened with me happened while I was working at purfl On lawn Care. They laid us off in the winter time, and they paid us a little bit of money and we so we'd combine the money with the unapployment and we did about eighty five percent of our check. Well, I take this opportunity to go to these new Meyer department stores. They were popping up all over the Springfield Dyton area. As matter of fact, there's like five total. I went from Springfield, my hometown, down to Dayton area. I believe it was either Beaver Creek or Kettering. Remember, at this time, I was not squatch conscious, so I couldn't recall everything perfectly. I went down there, and i'd go down there late at night because Myers was over twenty four hours a day, and I was buying these cassettes, jazz cassettes from Blue Note Records and other places that I couldn't find anyplace else.

3:36 But they were cassettes. And it was cool because I'd buy the cassettes and right around out in the country by myself between my home between Dayton and Springfield and make a couple of two three hour trip outlet. Well, one of these evenings, I went to Myers, got the cassettes, go out to my car. I'd go to driveway from the Meyer parking lot and I got to urinate. And I'm not the type of guy to go back in park the car go back inside Myers. So I thought, well, I just go around the back of Myers and all urinated back there. I pull them in back there. Myers happens to share dumpsters with about five or six other businesses in this like this little mini mall area, like a little strip mall. They must have had five or six dumpsters and they were all clustered together and it's in the winter time. It's like January, middle of January, I believe. And I get out to urinate, and I urinate, and I start hearing noises to my left over by these dumpsters. And these dumpters are probably about forty fifty yards away from me to my left. And I get down, urinate and get back in my car. And when I shut my car door, I'm looking at these dumpsters. Around the corner from the dumpsters comes a huge, hairy figure.

4:37 I figured this one to be the male. Another one peeks out from beside the dumpsters, like on the right side, and it slowly makes its way around, and once that slightly smaller one is standing there, and I don't know what to think. After those two were standing there, around the other side of the dumpsters, comes this little one and it leaps up into these big green dumpsters and pulls itself up with one left hand into the dumpster. And I'm watching this one, and what the heck am I saying? I can hear it rifleing around, rifle around. Next thing I know, it starts throwing things out of that dumpster, and these what would be adult big whats are catching it. I must have watched these things for about five or six minutes as that little and another little one came around, so there was four total got into that dumpster and was throwing things out to the adults. Man, I didn't know what to think. Remember, I was not squatched conscious because this was in the year I worked a purflong from like eighty eight to ninety four, so it was in between that time period, probably like ninety one ninety two. But I'll never forget that true story.

5:35 My very first encounter happened in nineteen sixty nine at John Bryant State Park. I was ten years old. It was August. We had relatives come down, come up from Kentucky. It was unusual for two reasons. Number One, we had a late start at the picnic, and the reason is we had to rent that shelter house. It's the one shelter house in the very back where everyone wants to get There's a field there you can play in, and it's like a surrounded on two sides by Bryan State Park. Also, the other significant thing is when we first got there, we got the very first parking space, not a big parking lot, kind of a long, stretchy pencil like tape thing type thing, and we parked there and that put me like a side view to these woods. Well we're at the picnic. When the picnic gets started, there's this stinky dumpster and it's not a big green dumpster like we have nowadays. It's a dumpster that's like square, about five feet high. It's got like metal. It's a metal dumpster, but around the metals like these big boulders that are attached to it. Then around the boulders like big steel cables. Well, this dumpter dumpster stunk so bad the adult males attempted to scoot it out of the way so it would be down. When they couldn't budge this thing. I'm ten year old day thinking I'm gonna help. I'm pushing on the dumpster. It's not moving. So they found a bunch of big pieces of cardboard and they pot on top of that dumpster and tamp down the smell. I immediately go with my sisters from the picnic area, or from the shelter house. At the Shulder house. There you have a shoulder house, then you have a concrete patio, then you got the woods. You get to the edge of the patio and in the actual woods itself. You have these

7:05 wooden steps which go down about forty to fifty feet to get to the walk around area. We go down the steps, we walk around. The path goes straight ahead about twenty yards. You turn to your right, you go about Oh man, this is Dave again. I wasn't sure where I left off on the story. I was messing with my cats. I'm at John Bryan State Park. My sisters have already taken me down to look for tarzan vines. I didn't see any. I go back up the steps. Becomes eight thirty at night time to leave. I said, Mom, can I go down check for tars amvines one more time? I'm thinking for Servius. He's gonna say no. She didn't say no. I'll go down the steps. There's nobody in the woods. I start to take a few steps ahead. Something peeks out from my left side from behind the tree. I see a big hairy half face. It peaks out at Jerky's head back, and I'm thinking I did not see that. A couple more steps ahead, same thing happened to my left at a tree. It trees about fifteen feet off, fifteen yards off the road. Maybe fifteen feet is not very far tall tree, medium size, got bushes around it. This thing peeks out from the same side of its right side of the tree. I see it, half a hairy head, big eyeball, hairy face. It's way up there. I'm thinking, what the heck am I looking at?

8:08 I'm wondering why it's arms and legs aren't wrapped around the tree. What's this human being doing staring? I mean in the woods, and it's kind of dark in the woods, get rid of sunsetting. I take a couple more steps. It happens again. It happened two times on the right side, on its right side of the tree. Then as I get to the end of the path here before I have to turn right. Right before I get to the end, it peaks out again. So I see it twice on its right, twice on this left. It it's to my left, this big hairy head peeking out, half a face, a big eyeball. He's surprised at me. I get to the end of the path and I'm gett ready to turn right to really surely charge the advisor. And I think I'm gonna turn and face that tree. I'm gonna wait on this thing. See I was still doing. I'm waiting on this thing to peek out from the tree. It peeks out again, and this time I get a great look at it. It's eyeballs are super surprised that I'm looking at it. I see that half a face, big hairy head, harry face. It jerks his head back again.

8:52 I want to get like a real quick look at it. But I saw it plain as day. Remember I saw four times already. I take that right here and turn down the path. Walk to the end of the path on thirty forty fifty yards ahead. I'm looking all over the place of the vines. I don't see no vines anywhere. Pivot come back around, think I better get back. It's getting really dark now. No one else is in these woods at all. I walk to the end of the path where I have to turn the left to head towards those steps to go back up those steps to get to the patio of the shoulder house. I'm waiting again looking at this tree. This thing peeks out again from its left side of the tree, and it's to my right now because I'm facing the other way. I see it plain as day. I get a good quick look at that head and big hairy head and face. It's way up there, and I'm thinking, Okay, now I know I saw that, and I'm thinking, I cannot tell them anybody. If I tell my mom, shouldn't never let me go into the woods again. I proceed to walk ahead, and it actually peeked out again another time from the other side of the tree, and I called it again peripherally, this time jerking my head to the right. I go back up the steps we finished packing up, get to the parking lot. Remember, I'm in the very first slot.

9:50 The spot we had parking wise is facing straight ahead towards the shoulder house. Shoulder House is just slightly to my left. I'm sitting in the back seat my mom Dad's car. My sister's to the left of me, talking out the left side back seat passenger window to somebody. My sisters love to talk there about five years olderan me. My two parents, and my other sister are in the parking lot to my right, yacking away at the relatives. You know when you leave, and how long is it gonna take you? Blah blah blah blah blah. It's dark now, but I can still see that patio because at that shelter house, at the very tip top of the shoulder house, there's one single light bulb, same type of light bulb you screw into a lamp ature house. It's kind of dim, but I can see. I'm staring ahead at the patio, just spacing out, thinking about what a great day it was. Up from those steps, which the steps are in the woods, I got a side you now in the woods. Up from the steps jumps this humongous hairy furry thing. Immediately look at my right. No one's looking this big hairy furry thing, which is a bigfoot. I didn't know at the time. It jumps up on this patio. It's in like a linebacker stance, with his knees bent, his arms out, whips his head left right, left right to look for humans.

10:52 I could remember seeing the hair between its right ear and its right shoulder whipping back and forth like a hippie. It's nineteen sixty nine, thinking some hippie do. But it was This was no human man. This was a big foot. I mean it was Harry head to toe, big tall, black, brownish thing man. He immediately runs through this dumpster with it. And by the way, the parking lot that I'm sitting in is about thirty five maybe forty yards from the patio and the shelter house. And I'm looking at this. This thing trots around to the backside of the dumpster and I can barely see it now because I've kind of got a side view and it's real dim. And this thing starts rifling through the dumpster. It sounds like God has a stirring stick that's going around and around, and I'm looking at the adults. No one's looking, and it is loud. It's loud. No one's looking but a little davy boy here. This thing then takes this dumpster, picks it up to about shoulder high head level, turns it upside down, slams it onto the concrete. Boom boom, b boom. And I'm looking at the dolls and the adults.

11:49 Barely look over their shoulders. They take a quick glance and look go back to talking. I'm thinking, how can they not be interested? I'm stunned. I am stunned. And I hear this thing right, I went through the trash, RF went through. Well, I still there. We sat there in the parking lot for another five minutes or so, no one's looking. I said to my mom, Mom, what is that? My mom said, Oh, they probably just come to take out the garbage. I was stunned. I'll finished here more than a second. Five minutes are up. Fantastic. This is Dave again, Clark County, sixty five years old, spring Foot, Ohio. I want to tell you about the encounter I had. The year was nineteen ninety eight. I was going to stop some bodybuilding gym. Worked out there from like nine to eleven eleven fifteen.

12:32 I ate my baked potato, ate my tuna, left the place, decided to go to the UDF ice cream store in Gasoline's place in Enan, Ohio. Stops bodybuilding gym as a fairborne. It's about ten minutes to Enan, so I stopped at the UDF, get the milkshake, go to leave. I mean my big black catill like nineteen seventy two. It's eleven thirty at nights, spitting snow. January again, and I think I want to eat my milkshake nice as slow. I'm going to take Schneider Road instead of taking the main road, so I could take these country back roads and enjoy this milkshake. I take the right out of UDF. Go across. I'm on the side of the road. Grow across one set of railroad tracks. It's real tight turn. It's it's like a little s turn and you got to go like five mile an hour. Pitch black, spitting snow. I stop, and I believe it's the first or second tracks to stop.

13:17 Stir my milkshake. I love milkshakes, man, If you know me, I love milkshakes. I check my mirror and make sure no one's coming, put my car in neutral, starts to throw this milkshake, and a rock hits my car from the right side. It's my Cadillac. Man, pitch dark out there. I looked at my right out the pasture side window, and it's pitch dark. I mean there's no light anywhere. The dirt below, which sits about three feet below where the railroad tracks are, it's pitch black, No light's nothing. So I lean over to the pasture seat to see if I can see if there's someone in and I'm thinking, well, who would be out here? Eleventh thirty night, go on a rock on my Cadillac colder and heck, you know, like twenty four to twenty five degrees spitting snow. As I'm leaning to my Cadillac seat passenger side on the seat with my right elbow behind my car about fifteen twenty feet off the road and behind my Cadillac, sitting off the road about fifteen twenty feet maybe thirty feet, there's this big head up in the air. It's way up there. It's lit up. Not the head lit up, but the face is lit up and it's looking It's like it got back to me. It's looking over its right shoulder and baroness teeth like ruh ruh or no sound coming out, but that's what it was like. It was like Louid's looking over its right shoulder, baroness teeth.

14:22 The face is lit up. Guys, this is not eyeshine. This was face shine. It did it like three or four times. Finally I straightened up my seat. I was like, what the heck am I looking at? I go to lean to my right again, to lean off that, you know, lean on the passers seat, look out that window again, and this face is in my passenger window. About three and a half to four feet away is a huge head. The entire face is lit up. It's like it's feet or backed by the Cadillac, and it's been at the waist and cocking said to its left, looking at me through my passenger window. Its head is about a forty five degree angle. By the way, look at this face, guys, there's no hair on his face. I'm looking at one hundred percent human eyeballs. I'm astounded. I'm looking at this human which is not human. It's a big face, no hair, black hair, no hair on the face, black hair on top of the head. I can see the snow glisten off the shoulders. It had a nose like Basil wrath bone.

15:18 Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages. That's the first thing I really thought, even before the human eyes, I thought this kind of nose like Basil rathbone. Myself. I got a long, skinny nose Scott's iris. And I'm looking into the eyes of this thing, and the eyes are intense, like I do not want you here. Then I go down from the nose to the teeth. It's baring his teeth where the corners of your mouth is like pulled back as far as they can, like a dog doesn't. It's baroness teeth. I can see every tooth in this thing's mouth. Man, this cat had dental work that would have made any dentist proud. I could see molars, I saw bicuspods, every single tooth was there, the biggest snarl on his face you could ever want to see.

16:14 And it had canines top and bottom. The top ones were long, the bottoms were naturally shorter. I'm looking at this thing in its eye. It's looking at me. I'm staring back at it. It's not moving its eyes from my eyes. And we're staring at each other. And I'm telling I stared for a good two two and a half maybe three minutes. So I finally realized, well, I better check my rearview miror see if someone's coming. I straightened up my seat, checked the rear view. No one was there. This happened three or four, maybe five times, and I leaning to my right a little bit to look into the eyes of this thing. I'm telling you, if I didn't get a five to seven minute look at this thing, then I got an eight to ten minute look. We stared at each other in the eyes intently. I mean it seemed like, I say, five to seven minutes, and I moved my hand one time towards the radio to see if it would take his eyes off of my eyes, and it glanced at my hand when I brought my hand back and went right back to my eyeballs. Man, this thing was giving me the most hateful look you could ever imagine. The size of this face was like the size of a pillow, if you like to cut the four corners off of the pillow. This thing, this face was humongous, guys, And I'm telling you it was not eyeshine. The entire face was lit up equally, and I remember the skin looked to me like a tan leathery, like a light baseball met Okay, my times get ready, and I'm gonna stop in and continue. Just Oh fantastic, Dave McFadden. Here a Clark County sprink, Little Hi. I just finished showing you about Iani, Ohio and the milkshake, the railroad tracks, the big Harry, the big face, no hair on the face, black hair on the head. I ended up staring in to its eyes for about five

17:44 to seven minutes. A car evasically did come from behind me. I saw it turn the corner coming towards me. I pulled out there rather quickly and I'm never forget the car coming up from behind me. This car had to have seen that thing, because it was only like a few seconds before it was on my tail. And it gets behind me, and it's only behind me for a half a second. This car whip's around me and nails it going Downsider Road. I'll never forget that. I'm going to go into the site I had. It was at nineteen eighty seven Urbana, Ohio, about ten miles of Springfield. North of Springfield, and I was working at Buckles Motors. We had a Christmas party sometime during Christmas at nineteen eighty seven, I believe it was right before Christmas. I left about two thirty in the morning. It's snowing outside.

18:26 It's December, and I'm just accelerating from leaving Urbana from like a thirty five miles zone to a fifty miles per hour zone, and the the snow was on the ground, so it was slicks, so I wasn't going to go much more than forty. Just as I get about to forty miles per hour, ahead of me about thirty forty maybe fifty yards a little less. This dear from my left to my right, young deer comes splitting across the highway. I'm talking full speed. I mean, this thing soon like a flash of lightning, and I immediately going to my brake, stinging. What the heck and what it was? The deal? It was the deer. And after I come to my brakes, just slowing down a little bit to think. Man, I think it was fine. I wonder why I was doing that. For to my left, about fifteen feet off the road, come to adult deer. It will look to be like a male with a rock and slightly smaller fever. I'm thinking like a mom and dad. It stopped about fifteen feet from the road. I've pretty much now come to stop, and it's to my left and it looks to its left these two deer do and to its left come a baby deer, and I'm telling you it's the small deer I've ever seen in my life. This baby deer is trotting to cross the road at no and no hurry whatsoever. I mean, this thing was in no hurry.

19:40 It was like a slow truck truck. Immediately right on the tail of that baby deer, while the two adults are still standing, there is this small black furry thing and I'm telling you it was a baby bigfoot. I didn't know at the time because I went to squatch conscience. It was only eighty seven December. This young squatch was like on all fours and its nose was almost touching the tail of the baby deer. And the baby deer was in no hurry whatsoever. And they slowly trod across the road. That was like a thousand and one, thousand and two thousand and three, it's in front of me now thousand and four, thousand and five was off the road. Then the two adult deer mosey out in front of me.

20:22 They're in no hurry. They actually hesitated in front of my car. Then they finished walking across the road. They were in no hurry. I'm telling you that baby squatch knows was almost touching the table. That baby deer, which was in no hurry whatsoever. It seemed to be playing like following the leader the squatch was. The adults were not concerned. That was eighty seven I remember driving away anything of what the heck did I see? That was weird? Well, that same area as an area I used to bike at biking too. I started biking in two thousand and nine. I retired at the age of fifty June, I started biking, riding the bike bought me one. Started biking more and more, more, miles more and mile more. Finally I saw found myself biking from Springfield out into the county towards Urbana. I eventually made it almost to Urbana. Now this time when I'm talking now, we went from June to September. The reason I started biking more and more later at night, which was now nighttime, was because it was so darn hot.

21:14 I'm fifty some years old, and as the later the leader, I started leaving the house the lader, I started biking. Finally started biking in the evening time. I find myself out by Route fifty five at Urbana. It's about ten to fifteen at night. It's sept first week of September. I stopped to urinate. I had just eaten, you know, I had to stopped to yearinate first. I just take a step to my left. I'm off the bike. Now, I take a step from the path on to the grass, which is about ten to fifty feet from the concrete. You have grass. You have ten to fifty feet of grass, and you have a line of bushes. It's like small trees and bushes all the way down the path. There's also this heavily wooded area which is to my left and I'm looking at which is located across the cornfield.

21:59 Cornfield seventy five hundred feet wide, so about a hundred yards away, you get this big wooded area. It's not big. It's this rectangular shape and it sits up kind of high, and thinking, man, that looks scary, but it wasn't big, and there are houses there because there's farms there. Well. As soon as I take this step from the concrete onto the grass up above me to my right, I hear a rock coming through the rock coming through the bus from the trees above, dunk the dunk. It lads to my laft about ten feet away. I'm thinking, gotta be kids. Okay, my times, you get ready to stop here. I'm gonna finish in just a second. But yeah, this went on. I'll finish it up here, okay, damn here I was telling you about the Springfield Habana area. I left off where the rocks were being thrown at me for three years in the up my route fifty five hundred banna near that same area. Just a mile or two back south is a place called Cedar Bog. It's actually a fen. It's small. And there was a time in seventy seven that I was New Year's Eve, nineteen seventy seven. I was playing kissy face with my girlfriend out of Cedar Bog in the parking lot and the windows are all steamed up, and shelack me throws me off her. This is a great, big, great big guy in a fur coat walk by by the car. I said, what she said, A great big guy in a white fur coat walked by the car. Remember the windows steamed up.

23:09 I'm looking, I don't see nothing. And I'm an eighteen year old due I want to keep making out, you know. And she wasn't the type of throwing me off of or believe me, but uh, this happened again about seven eight ten minutes later, she throws me off over there it goes again. I said, pay m stop it, come on, man, you know what are you doing this for? And she was a drama drama queen. Anyway, it turns out, but she ends up about a minute of ups going back and forth by she ends up leaning into the front seat, squeaking, taking the back of her hand and squeaking the fog off the wind shield. I looked through my front windshield and going into the woods the last step and a half, I seen this great, big, tall, hairy thing with white fur on it, matten ferd kind of dirty. I saw he's last step in half and I said, huh, I'll be darn, And I said, we go to get out here.

23:52 She got out of there. That's Cedar Bog. Well. I read like North American Bigfoot website that another couple had the exact same thing. Happened to them, Big Harry white bigfoot, big fur coat, they said, and they saw it walk by and they were playing kissy face out of Cedar Bog. Cedar Bargs also the same general area where I had left at the Urbana Christmas party in eighty seven and had the several deer across the path the woe with a little the baby deer tropped across with the baby bigfoot right on his nose. Let me see wherel are going to go with this? Oh. I ended up going on my bike on the bike path twenty thirteen, didn't see didn't have any more rocks on it because there were people in the woods having a picnic. I went back two or three more times between like twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. Nothing happened until twenty seventeen.

24:38 I'm out there again, late at night. I don't remember exactly what time it was. I'm squatched conscious now, and I started hearing from my left across in that wooded area, a big whistle, starting real low and going real high, like when it was longer than that. It lasted a good ten seconds. Maybe it did it like seven or eight times, and I remember trying to imitate the whistle, but I couldn't do it. I tried to do my own whistle. I think I ended up doing some doing like it said, like a wood knock. I take the pall in my hands and I go like that, make it like a pops out. And it did it like seven or eight times. I don't think it was answering me. It may have been, but I got ready to leave out of there, and I forget what time it was.

25:20 It was definitely darkened late at night, and I don't remember the exact month. I got ready to put my leg, my right leg over that bicycle seat and right above the area where those rocks were being thrown to me for those three years. Comes a soft, all sized white orb It comes down like does an as curb and stops about three to four feet away from me above my head to my left. I looked at it. It's like bouncing, bouncing, bounces. I reached up with my left hand to take a hold of it. It bounced up in a way about a foot, bounced, bounced up a couple more times, and zipped away the same way that it came. True story, guys, I've never seen it over before in my life. Saft all sized white. That actually happened.

26:01 I reached up for it. It bounced up about a foot and away and bounced, bounced out and then zipped away, and I got the heck out of there. And I ain't been back there since. But I was gonna. I was gonna try and go into another one. Oh. I was working at a major pizza place. I worked from nineteen ninety nine till two thousand and nine, Remember I towards I retired in two thousand and nine. Well, this was in March of two thousand and nine. I retired in June. In March. We have an area called Lower Valley Pike on either side of the Lower Valley Pike is mad River and Buck Creek. They're not real big, but they but they're on either side of this area. This area is just outside of the city of Springfield on the west side. I come down the hill, go past the house, which turns out to be the house I was suposed to liver a pizza too at eleven thirty night. The piece has already tried to be delivered by a rookie. He couldn't find it. So the veteran here in his tenth year go try and deliver his pizzas.

26:50 So it's already a little bit late. I ain't got time to mess around. I go past the house, go down to a grassy area at the other end of this house. At the other end of the big yard's a big yard that they actually used to have horses out in front of it. I stop turn left into this like this grassy area, which is facing this house. I'm checking my map just to make sure it's got addresses on, just to make sure I've got that right here. Yeah, that's the area I need to go to. I go to back out. I've got my engine car running and my lecture straight ahead. My lighture's are hitting this fence. This big fence is in front of this yard I'm supposed to go to, but I go down to the other end. Okay, man, I'm getting ready to end here. But just just all finish up here in a second. Okay, Dave here, I was just telling you about the Lower Valley Pike. I'm delivered the pizza. I'd stopped. Check the map.

27:35 A Lower Valley Pike connects to Snyder Road. Snyder Road is the road I told you about where I stop on the railroad tracks stirring the milkshake squatch appears and my pastor's side kadak window, same area, Lower Valley Pike. Stop, check the map. I go to back up, and my headlightser shining on this fence, which got is a big, tall, your horse horse farm fence. I see in my headlights. Just as I back up, I see this and I'm looking through tree, looking through a couple of small trees. I see this thing stand up. I see a manlike. Figure, big for society, who will be right back after these messages.

28:28 That's the area I'm looking at. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it, and I see this huge knee come up. Left knee had come up. This thing blow and I remember I've just backed up, and now my headlights are pointing on the road. This thing, that big knee comes up, and this thing takes one two, three four steps in front of my car. It angles from far away to my car to in front of my car. It passed in front of my car, probably twenty five to thirty five feet in front of me. Maybe guys, I saw this thing go about forced. I saw this thing go about four steps. It went about forty forty five yards and four steps. I'm telling you this thing. I got the snapshot of it as it passed right to my headlights. Now I still got the same car and the pastures or the driver's I headlight points up slightly.

29:10 I'm telling you this thing was every bit of ten feet tall. If it was not ten feet tall, then it was ten and a half to eleven feet tall. I'm telling you the strides on this thing were, I mean fifteen yard strides. I see that big left knee come up one two, three fourth across the road and into these people's backyard. It passed from my right to my left. I got that snapshot as it passed right in front of my car. That headlight's pointing up this thing. I could see the sweep of the thigh as it goes in front of my car. I could see the left knee was up and the right and the right leg was striding backwards. It had its head turned to the right so that I could not see his face. I could see that I got that snapshot right in front of my car. Man, I'm telling you it was ten feet tall. I swear to you, Man, I didn't tell anyone when I went back to the shop, and I didn't know what I've seen. Remember's two thousand and nine on I my squatsch conscious, I think becomes squatch conscious till twenty thirteen March. But that's a true story, man.

30:05 I want to back up. I remember I told you about the rocks being thrown at me out Rap fifty five or Banna. And also that same general Orbana area where I was on the road coming back from the Christmas party in nineteen eighty seven Buckles motors and the deer cross in front of me, the little baby woe with the baby squatch with his nose touched his tail. Same general area Cedar bog By the way, small, small fin. It has waters surrounding it, and that water stays at a constant fifty four degrees year round, no matter what the temperature is, no matter how bad the weather is, it stays at that fifty four degrees. It's got that underground spring coming up. That's a true story about that man. But yeah, that thing was ten feet tall that passed in front of me. I swear to you. Let me see if I can go into that same Snyder Road area.

30:49 There's a ball field, a ball field where is Snyder and Upper Valley actually meet. It's called the County Roads, a county road or the County League area. No lights. I'm playing in the league out there. It's late league August. I forget the year. I want to say, like nineteen eighty nine, ninety ninety one. These dudes from Urbana who work for a good factory called Dracket, recruited me to play ball for him. I actually pretty darn a good ball player. God blessed me in that area, and I'm thinking maybe if I play ball with these guys, maybe I get a job at Drag. As you know, I'm not a real highly timely trained dude. So we're out there. I go to run for first or second base. The basis are five feet short than what I'm normally used to playing for. Just as I get my speed up, I gotta slow down. Ground ball to shortstop. I start to slide in a second, but the shortstop bobbled the ball.

31:32 I end up taking a stride in a second, busted my ankle on the bag, tore ligimps badly. These Urbana dudes man, after the game was with, carried me about one hundred yards to my car in the parking lot. I thought, man, I gotta have a beer with these dudes. Man, I only drink one. I'm good, I'm a Jesus guy. We're drinking this beer. Everyone else has gone for the lot. It's dark. Now there's me and two Urbana guys and we hear this scream off to our left. This is missus Snyder Row the same right I had my car stopped on Cadillac. This scream is like like the woman being murdered on with a male voice. And this dude was front of me did the same thing back to it, but we didn't get no answer. Well years earlier. The year was nineteen eighty Christmas nineteen eighty. I go to go home with my buddy from Alabama. He lives in the Hempsfeld Decatur area. I'm driving my car from New Mexico to Alabama, but I got to stop in Tennessee.

32:21 Drop this dude off. We stopped somewhere in Louisiana, take a whiz. We go down the road, come by these houses, park in this grassy area, and that same scream that I heard years later as we're taking a whiz. Wow, same type of scream, male voice. We went, what the heck was that? And this one dude says, may that covery area? We said, no covery area, dude, But yeah, same type of scream, same area. Okay, Dave here, I was just finished up about the screams that I heard in the Louisiana and then Ohio sam same identical scream. Not the same area. One was in the Louisiana, one was in Ohio, but the exact same scream. I mean, it almost sounded like the same big foot. Obviously it wasn't, but it was a large the woman type of scream and woman being murdon type of scream. But I was going to go into my very first road cross that I had. I'm taking my car. I'm in the military Christmas break. I'm leaving Ohio and I'm going to New Mexico and I'm on Interstate forty four. I'm either in Illinois or Missouri. I can't remember exactly where it was.

33:20 I come to this area on Interstate forty four that it's way high up in it. I'm climbing this hill, thinking, man, this is a steep hill. Steeps I've ever climbed autmobile. I get to the top of the hill, this almost being like a roller coas it's almost like a roller coaster. It's the month is in a it's just after January, just after New Year nineteen eighty taking my car and as I get to the top of this hill, it's almost like a roller coaster. When you were the first hill, you almost get that that stomach feeling. I'm on top of this hill and there's this huge long stretch of roads. I bet it goes for a mile and a half of just down the hill, and it's steep, and I'm wondering, how did these trucks negotiate this hill and inclement weather. I'm just a hill get ready to coming in. I can see for miles there's a cut down corn field.

34:04 On both sides of the highway. There's a huge medium between the highways, one hundred yard medium grass area between the between east going and West gone. I start to go down this hill and to my right way off on that uncut farm area on the right ear, it was a deer coming as fast as it can come, and I'm thinking, man, that deer is fine. I hope nobody hits. Is it gonna kep coming this way? It keeps coming, and pretty soon I noticed behind that deer, about thirty yards behind the deer is a big black thing on all fours and it's hauling and it's getting it. Man, it's chasing this deer, you can tell. And I'm thinking these things are gonna get run out by car Well. The deer gets to the road, the squatch gets to the rids of squats. All the way squatch gets to the road, it's been on all fours. As soon as it got to the highway, it went up on two legs.

34:44 It stayed on two legs across the highway, across this big one hundred yard wide medium maybe seventy five yards wide, widest medium I've ever seen between east and west, you know, between highways going opposite directions. It stays on all two, I say, Willson, all four stays on two across the highway, across my lane, all the way across the medium, still on two lags across the highway. Luckily no cars had either one of those things. As soon as it gets to the other cornfield on the left side, it goes back down on all fours. It never closed the gap between that squats and that deer. That squats never closed the gap. That deer was going full sprint man. But that's a true story, and I'll never forget that. And I'm thinking, what the heck was that I receive you. I didn't know what to think. Like I said, I wasn't a squat's conscious until March of twenty twenty thirteen.

35:29 Let me tell you about the time when I'm spraying along for that purfle on lawn care. I actually sprayed the West Dayton area Hubert Heights, West Dayton rough area, and we went clear to the Indiana line and beyond the India. So I'm spraying in the Richmond, Indiana area, which is right on the Ohio and the Enda line, and there's county roads. I hit out there, well, there was one county road had a house. I'm spraying. It's about ten fifteen in the morning. It's real quiet out there. They've got a rectangular shape yard attached to this yard is like a Christmas tree farm. A dark wooded area and you can see all the trees lined up. I start to I go down this red clanger area. I get to the end of the fence, and right before I get into the fence, I hear knock. The knock comes from straight ahead from that wooded area. I don't know what that knock is. That was weird. I take a left hand turns, keep spraying, keep spraying along. Knock.

36:17 I hear it plain to day. It's very quiet out there. I get to the end of that side, get ready to take another left hand turn, take a left hand turn. Knock. Go back up, take a left hand turn, take a left hantern. Now I'm heading down towards that wooded air again. When I get to the wood airy again, same thing happened. Knock, take a left knock, get to the end, knock. I come back around, come down one more time. This is the third and final time. I'm not near the fence now, But it did it again right as I got near the fence. Knock. But when I took the left hand turn, no knock. When I got down to the end, no knock again. That actually happened. That's the only times I can ever recall hearing knocks. I had a bush blow up at me at my aunt's house out on a shrine road to Springfield, Ohio, out in the county. I forget how old it was, ten eleven, twelve, maybe thirty years old. All this kids are in the backyard. They got a big backyard. It's got this wooded area that divided their house and another house. It's not very wide, maybe thirty yards wide, runs the lakes of their backyard.

37:12 Whole house got a farmer's field there with a wooded area in the back there. The frisbee goes to this area, to the very end of the backyard, up by the cornfield. I go to pick this frisbee up, but this bush blows up like and I jumped back, and all the kids went, what was that? We all want what the heck was that? I picked that frisbee up and walked away real slowly, But we all forgot about where kids were throwing a frisbee. Never forgot about true story. But if you just see how small that wooded area is, you think, man, why let the squat's be there. I only got a few more stories to tell. I'll be done this all right, all right, Dave mccair. I got a couple more things to say. I went to a church camp when I was eleven years old. I went like four or five times, eleventh birthday till like seventeenth birthday.

37:53 It's down in Syota Hills, Ohio, right down by the Ohio River, central part of the state, down by the river, down by Portsmouth, called Sioda furnace. Good church camp, no bad counselors, no bad instance. I had a couple of rocks do on that there. We were like fifteen years old. But I went back up to when I was eleven years old. Very first time I went there, we had cabins up by the woods, and these woods surround this church camp called Siota Hills Baptist Church Camp. And we're at the cabin up by the top. Girls guys cabs are on the right, there's a leg. Girls cams are on the left, and all the cabins are up by the woods. We're at the furthest one by the woods. It's late at night, two three, four in the morning, eleven year old kid. We start hearing these trash cans banging outside of our cabin and they're banging loud, and it ends up banging against the door. Woke everybody up.

38:37 Woke the counselor up. The counselor goes to the door and we're all scared kids. He slowly opens that door, peeks out, slams the door back, and puts his back against the door, and his eyes are the size of saucer plates. These looks like he's seen a ghost. And he took a couple of deep breaths and he says, nobody move, nobody make a sound. And he made sure the door was like he stood by that door as this thing was banging against the door, because you're trash cans banging door to bang a couple of times. This went off about two three minutes, maybe after the noise stopped, he waited about a good five six seven minutes, and we're all we got our hair, I got, I got my head better underneath the covers. Man, I'm not scared.

39:18 It's that loud, and the look on this counter's face was like, man, this guy's seems something. He finally, after all it, qwice down opens that door real slow, peaks his head out real so he doesn't see anything. He goes outside real slow. He's outside for good fifteen twenty minutes, talking to other counselors. He ends up coming back in and by this time we're all some of them falling back to sleep. Other kids are just like, what the heck was that? You know? These are good kids. He ends up coming inside and telling us this is the reason why. He says, I don't know what I saw, Probably a big old bear. It wasn't no bare, it was a squadh obviously, but we can do at the time. But he so, he said, this is why we tell you do not go into these woods at night time or even in the day time either, because we don't know what's out there. That's the true story, guys. Eleven years old. When I was fifteen years old, we were coming down from the cabins about ten to fifteen at night.

40:07 We don't have to get our table tennis rackets. We're the only ones up there. We come back down as we're coming down the hill. A rock comes finally for the woods. The very next night, the exact thing happened. Same thing happened. Go up to get our table tennis rackets. A rock comes in dude terms around. My buddy turns out, quit the rocks. We took a couple more steps down the hill. A second rock comes in. But that actually happened. Rock on one night, two rocks on the next night. When we were fifteen years old. When I was eleven years old, was when we had the had the incident with the banging trash cans, and the counseler was going, you know, don't go outside, and did that actually happen. I'm trying to think of there's other little stuff that's happened in my life. There was an incident down by Kentucky when I was fourteen years old. My parents were on like a tour of places, people that they hadn't seen for years. I'm fourteen years old. This took me along.

40:50 My sisters stayed home. They're growing up by then, anyway, they're like five and teen years older me. They were sitting on the front porch of this house. The house I notice has bushes that are right up against the right side of the house. I'm sitting on the front porch by this by the bush area that my parents are at the other fire end of this long porch, talking to my relatives, and I hear this boost blow up next to me. I hear like that. Man, I got away from that thing, and the adults barely heard it. They looked that way, and I said, hey, ant, so, so what was that? You know, probably some big old bear out there. We got them around here sometimes, But now that actually happened. But a couple of times you did go to Kentucky. They told us, man, do not going through the woods at night. I said, okay, we're going in the daytime. They said, no, we don't go into the woods at daytime either. I said why. They said, well, there's stuff around there. We really don't know what it is.

41:34 And they didn't elaborate to go into because I was one of like seven, eight nine years old at the time. But now I'll never forget that. And uh, there may be another thing or two that may have happened in my life squas related, but I've hit on all the big ones that I can remember. Like I said, I was the guy who had a slew of things happened and didn't know what the heck was going on. Real good conservative family. I wouldn't never bash my conservative background, but they always taught me that there's no such things in the woods. There's no there's no this, there's no that. So I always believed them. So when all this stuff was happening, I didn't know what to tell anybody. And I'm a real quiet kid anyway. Man, I may be talking to now, but all my life I've been shy and quiet until I had my thirds or forties, and now I got something to say. But I always thought that if I tell my parents and my sisters are just gonna, you know, oh shut up. That never happened by my blabm. And I always thought that when I got older, I'll be much older. Now they don't listen to me. Now, well, now I'm older and they still don't want to hear wonderful family. My parents are dead, obviously, but my older sisters don't want to hear it. Man, And they're good Christian people. But I'm so glad to have this outlet to tell you this, that you can hear my voice and realize that I'm not lying.
