A family stranded deep inside Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest starts hearing whistles moving around their tent in the darkness.


Hours later, the sounds are coming from every direction.


An Alaskan Native witness shares encounters involving massive boulders crushing campsites near Lower Tamgas Lake, terrifying sounds in the wilderness, tribal knowledge passed down for generations, and a roadside Bigfoot sighting in Ohio that stayed with him for life.


Remote forests.
Multiple witnesses.
Stories that still don’t have answers.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big the Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to 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 --> 00:00:21.320
These are the.

8
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
Voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in,

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.359
because today you'll hear another account that just might change

10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.120
the way you see the woods forever.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.840
So stay with us. How's it going pretty good? Feel

12
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:35.759
free to share what your experience was.

13
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.799
I'll try and make this quick. It's been a lot

14
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:39.159
of years.

15
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:39.840
That's fine.

16
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:41.920
Yeah, it's kind of an interesting one.

17
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.039
But you know, I think it was ninety six, and

18
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.560
I'll kind of give you a location, me and the

19
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.640
wife and I think Cody was five miles.

20
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.960
All of a sudden then well now.

21
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.320
But we went to go camping at Sunset Camgrounds on

22
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:05.359
Memorial Weekend in ninety six. And where the Sunset Campgrounds.

23
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:06.000
You can find that.

24
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.599
It's east of Battleground, probably about thirty miles.

25
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:11.840
And then they were.

26
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.000
Full, so I decided to go over to Elk Camp

27
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.400
over towards wind River. So we went up through Copper

28
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.959
you know, up Copper Creek. I think it's for a

29
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.879
service road forty one, and it goes up over Lookout.

30
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.879
And it'll drop you down to the Stabler.

31
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.200
But this rig I had was a newer rig, and

32
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.920
we made it up to look Out and we were

33
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.480
just kind of on our way down the downslope side

34
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.040
and the motor took a dump.

35
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.120
Yeah, it sucked. And so I had a land cruiser.

36
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.439
With a little utility trailer on with all of our

37
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.959
gear in it, and so I just kept coasting down

38
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.439
the hill and down the hill and down the hill

39
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.400
and until I couldn't go any further and just got

40
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.120
it off alongside the road.

41
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.280
And everything I'm going to bring up to you, I

42
00:01:59.280 --> 00:01:59.840
want you just.

43
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.159
To envision it, because after all these years and thinking

44
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.599
about it and things, you hear it kind of it's

45
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.159
kind of weird.

46
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.240
So sorry, real quick, just for listeners that are confused,

47
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.120
this is Scamania County, Washington, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Right, yeah, yep, that's.

48
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.159
Right, yep, yep, go ahead, Yeah, And another thing you

49
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:18.680
can look.

50
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.319
At is the headwaters of Wash Sugle.

51
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.319
If you were to bring that all the way up

52
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.680
there and just maybe a couple of ridges over, it's

53
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.520
probably about where it was on service. I think it

54
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.599
was for a service Bronk forty one, so pretty close

55
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.120
to that area pinpointed. But anyway, so we got pulled

56
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.199
over and I wasn't gonna be able to get it going.

57
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.800
So I'm making some notes to send down if people

58
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:43.639
were to come by, to get a hold of a

59
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.360
buddy to come up the next day and get me

60
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.879
so we could go get a doll in, get the

61
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.240
rig out of there and stuff. But so I set

62
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.960
up the tent, and you know, it's probably gonna be

63
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.759
a few hours at that point before dark.

64
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.879
But set up the tent.

65
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.560
Of the land cruiser, and I'm gonna explain the situation

66
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.319
the surroundings in a minute. But a forest ranger had

67
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.599
come by and he was adamant. I mean, it was

68
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.719
kind of funny how adamant he was. He's like, you

69
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.599
can't camp here, and I'm like, I don't want to

70
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.120
camp here. You know, I said, my rig broke down.

71
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.000
I'm not leaving it.

72
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:18.400
You know.

73
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.800
They just get stolen or vandalized. But he must have

74
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.479
messed with me for thirty minutes. And I said, if

75
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.360
you're going to give me a ticket, just give it

76
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.120
to me, because I'm not leaving until we all go out.

77
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:30.479
You know.

78
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:32.960
He didn't give me a ticket, and he left, but

79
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.639
he probably hung around for thirty minutes. But it looked

80
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.919
back now, it's like, why was he adamant about me

81
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.199
wanting to get out of there?

82
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:41.199
You know?

83
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.840
It was just weird and I think about it now

84
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.199
and then so I always, like I said, I'm a hunter.

85
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.400
You know, I had a twenty two on me and

86
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.039
I have a shotgun in the trailer.

87
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.759
But you know, and so we made dinner and you know,

88
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:57.520
I had a good.

89
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.319
Dinner and all that, and set there and I kind

90
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.080
of made a small fire. I'd send notes down with

91
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.360
two or three cars and hopefully it got to my buddy,

92
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.599
you know, And it's starting to get dark. It's twilight time,

93
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.879
you know, not quite dark, not quite over the.

94
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:14.479
Mountains, you know.

95
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.680
And now I'm gonna describe how we were and where

96
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.040
we were. So if you ever look at the map,

97
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.079
how that is, you know, due south is the Columbia

98
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.680
River gorge way down in there and on the road

99
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.480
we're at, I would say, to the east of where

100
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.079
my truck broke down.

101
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.079
It was not even.

102
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.319
An eighth of a mile where go down and make

103
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.879
it left around you know that ridge that's going up

104
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.240
behind me, And I got a ridge you know that

105
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:48.000
goes up behind me to the north, and like I said,

106
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.199
it drops off south on the other side of the

107
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.199
land cruise. It probably dropped off the road about ten

108
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.959
feet and then it leveled up and it went on down.

109
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.639
I don't even know what it looks like beyond that.

110
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.600
But so all late time we already got to know

111
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.680
with dinner, you know, I had everything wrapped up, so

112
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.040
we'd go to bed, made a small fire, and now

113
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.759
it's pretty much dark, and behind me, about sixty yards

114
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.800
up in that where that ridge behind me goes up

115
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.000
is a whistle and I'll kind of make it for you.

116
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.759
And it was like just a single It was I

117
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.399
can't do it, but just one single whistle that lasted

118
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.040
five seconds. Not even that. That's weird, you know, And

119
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.399
trust me, I've been hunting all my life camp roppers, birds,

120
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.600
you know, and I don't know what this was, but

121
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.680
I just sat there. In probably five minutes, it did

122
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.759
it again. So I kind of stood up and kind

123
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.560
of whistled back, and you know, I'm like, that's weird

124
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.480
or whatever, and sat back down. I wasn't scared, and

125
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.199
like I said, I did have a twenty two on me,

126
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.000
but I wasn't concerned.

127
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.199
I wasn't scared. But probably ten minutes.

128
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.920
Later, it's really dark now, the whist behind me goes,

129
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.920
and then down where the ridge comes out to the

130
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.120
road is another whistle, a little different tone but about

131
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.160
the same you know, length.

132
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.759
And I'm like, well, that's weird.

133
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.600
So I grabbed the flashlight and I walked down there,

134
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.839
and I'm kind of like looking around, you know, and

135
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.399
I'm like trying to make it whistle and see what

136
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.879
the heck it is and nothing.

137
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.600
So I went back and said back down in the chair.

138
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:26.519
And I don't know.

139
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.920
It had to have been ten fifteen minutes later. While

140
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.199
the wife in that time, she's like, I'm going to bed.

141
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.439
I'm like, we'll go to bed, you know. So she

142
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.319
took Cody in with her and they were going to

143
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.920
go to bed. But ten to fifteen minutes after that whistle,

144
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.240
you know, up where the ridge met the road. You know,

145
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.120
I went back down, sat down, and I'm not dude,

146
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.920
I'm telling you. Behind the tent on the south side

147
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.800
was a whistle that was so freaking loud, like it

148
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.879
was right behind the tent. I mean it was right there,

149
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.920
whatever it was, and so I wasn't unconcerned. But I'm like,

150
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.759
you know, I'm still not quite sure what's going on.

151
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.480
I've got these things all around me now. So I

152
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.800
went over to the trailer and I grabbed the shotgun

153
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.480
and I puffed a couple of shells into it.

154
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.439
I'm not waving it around like a.

155
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.399
Madman, but at this point I get one more whistle,

156
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.600
I'm gonna shoot in that direction.

157
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:19.800
I don't care.

158
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.079
But I walked over around the back of the tent

159
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.639
with a flashlight, looking up, looking down, can't find nothing,

160
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:26.759
didn't hear anything.

161
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.519
It was dry out, no twigs snapping, no nothing.

162
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.879
And I went and set back down in that chair

163
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.680
with the shotgun, just waiting because, like I said, I

164
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.680
can't wait to shoot it.

165
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.279
I really want to, and I don't.

166
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.759
I bet it was fifteen twenty minutes later on that

167
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.800
ridge on the upper side over the first one whistled,

168
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.519
but further up was three different whistles, but you know,

169
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.519
they weren't too far away from each other, but it

170
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.279
was like it was that's the oddest thing. And uh yeah,

171
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.639
so that's my story. You tell me what you think

172
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.000
it is.

173
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.319
Uh my goodness.

174
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.480
I think you're probably one of the luckiest dudes to

175
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.120
get out of there without anything else happening, because I

176
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.279
hear stuff like that all the time, and man, you're

177
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.360
you're the part where you're like the ranger didn't want

178
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.839
to let you go. I've heard I've heard an account

179
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.279
where it was south of Saint Helen's and this lady

180
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.759
got she broke down out there, and the rangers tried

181
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.720
to come out and help her, and she started hearing

182
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.120
noises all around the vehicle, and the rangers cut freaked

183
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.600
out and left her there. She had to stay overnight

184
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.120
and wait for one of her friends to come save her.

185
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.919
But dude, I think once you get into the Gifford

186
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.080
Pinchot in Skamanean County, all bets are off.

187
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.799
Man, you never know what you're going to run into

188
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:00.240
out there.

189
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.879
I'm surprised it didn't so you you ended up leaving

190
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.080
and nothing else happened.

191
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.519
Besides, oh we didn't leave. I was.

192
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.600
I was broke down there. I just went to bed.

193
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.480
I went to bed. I never heard another peep out

194
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.519
of them. I don't know if they got extra sense,

195
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.440
you know, smelling, and they could smell that you know gun,

196
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.799
which you know you would be afraid of. And I

197
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.600
wasn't waving around like a freak time. I wasn't even scared.

198
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.759
That's the thing. I wasn't scared. I was trying to

199
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.440
figure it out in my head. Why I'm being surrounded

200
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.279
by these whistles, you know. Yeah, and that part. I

201
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.960
don't hunt that area. I always hunt, you know, in

202
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.840
inland war, you know, between Saint Helens. I've never investigated

203
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.159
that area. But I don't know now that I think

204
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.879
about it, you know, making that dinner, you know, if

205
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.279
it was a known you know walkway for these things,

206
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.080
you know, and like I've heard others people telling, you know,

207
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.840
I made that you know, really nice smelling dinner.

208
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.360
They probably came over and it's like checking us out.

209
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.600
Oh yeah, was it like bacon or some kind of

210
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.360
meat or something?

211
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.120
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, oh yeah.

212
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.200
That's I know a lot of people. They'll do that

213
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.240
to bring them in So then how did you finally

214
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.240
get eui of there? Did someone come and save you?

215
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.279
Yah? Yeah, Well the next day my brother and my

216
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.320
buddy came up with their rig and a dolly, so

217
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.960
we got the that all hooked up.

218
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.039
So yeah, and then we all got out of there

219
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.240
the next day.

220
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.320
But wow, that's wild.

221
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.639
But I never heard a peep out of anymore. Those

222
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.159
whistles just kept going further up the ridge. I wanted

223
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.440
to chase them, you know what I mean.

224
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.679
I was just like, I got the gut, I want

225
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.879
to go, you know's find out what the heck's going on.

226
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.240
But it was just amazing.

227
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.559
Being in that area.

228
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.240
Have you heard of any other stories of things that

229
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.639
have happened and that you know Differentia?

230
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.159
Oh God, Skamania. Yeah, they're all over.

231
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:49.559
I mean.

232
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.320
The only other one I'll share with you was my dad.

233
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.240
You know, he's he's gone, and I'm sure his buddy

234
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.879
Orble's gone. But they were up there hunting towards the

235
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.360
Eight Canyon, you know, the caves up in there. And

236
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.080
the story was he never told us until we got

237
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.279
older because he didn't want to scare us. But Orbole's

238
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.240
been in a hunter up there forever and he had

239
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.480
taken up a trail and the fog was in, and

240
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.360
so he kind of just stopped and sat there, and

241
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.360
he's seen something was speaking beyond a tree that was tall,

242
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.399
you know, maybe I don't know, seventy five yards away

243
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.159
when the fog had left.

244
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.559
He's seen it, and he's like, what the heck?

245
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.919
The fog rolled in, and it moved closer towards him,

246
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.000
and you know, I think it even moved closer again,

247
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.159
and he decrabbed as gonna went back to camp. But

248
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.000
he's he knows it's a big foot, you know, but

249
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.159
he never told us until we got old enough to

250
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.000
you know. But I've never yeah, I've traveled so many mountains,

251
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.960
Pacific crests, oh, so many trails and so many areas

252
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.360
that I have never had anything, you know, even weird

253
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.360
like what happened on that side, you.

254
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.720
Know, Oh yeah, wile to count.

255
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.879
I mean, even though.

256
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.480
It's one of those where it's like it was so

257
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.279
close to turn into something else. My goodness, I'm blown away.

258
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.360
Thank you for coming up and sharing that, sir.

259
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.440
Yep, yep, So listen for the whistles.

260
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.600
That's true. Don't go fall in the whistles there you go,

261
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:25.720
all right, all right, later, have a good one, you too. Yeah, guys,

262
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.200
don't go fall on whistles. And if something says your

263
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.639
name in the woods, don't don't do it. All right,

264
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.000
let's uh, let's continue. Hey, tech, how are you.

265
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:36.639
Hi?

266
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.720
How are you doing for a mile thirty southbound heading

267
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.080
towards Memphis today?

268
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:42.960
Oh?

269
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.639
Hey, I aw, it's a little hard to hear you.

270
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:51.480
Sorry about that. I am an Alaskan Native. I am

271
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:57.200
an Cultra long haul driver, and uh, I have had

272
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.759
experiences and a sighting.

273
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.480
Okay, this is great.

274
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.799
Feel free to share what you've experienced up there, sir.

275
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.960
Okay, Well, my name is Martin.

276
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:17.600
I am from the very south of southern Alaska, southeast

277
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:25.720
Alaska on on Thattt Island. There is a native reserve

278
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.559
there that was established by Congress in the eighteen.

279
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.480
Eighteen eighties, and so.

280
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.679
Are our people are fishermen there, so I want to

281
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:47.720
share an experience about The location was lower Lower Tambas Lake.

282
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.360
There's a utility road that in the lake.

283
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.960
It feeds water into a hatchery there, so you know,

284
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.879
there's a lot of fish there and so we decided

285
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.759
to go camping.

286
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:02.480
It was.

287
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.720
Like the I think it was maybe the week.

288
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.960
After Memorial Day actually, and you know at summertime. This

289
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.840
was the year two thousand and about a dozen of

290
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.879
my friends and I and our girl, you know, a

291
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.279
couple of those guys in our group, and out there

292
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.759
with us we took a like a fourteen foot skiff.

293
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.559
We we had looked at the map and we're like, oh,

294
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:33.759
let's go to this cove.

295
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.679
You know, there's a little cove. And then we set

296
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.720
up camp there.

297
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.320
And there were these all kinds of perfectly nice smooth

298
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.320
boulders there.

299
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.120
We moved you know, some of them out of the

300
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.000
way so we can set up our tents.

301
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.720
And all that, and it gets into you know, gets

302
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.639
into the evening hours. It doesn't get dark until like

303
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.279
probably ten thirty at night at that point. In other

304
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:06.480
in Alaska it doesn't see daylight is the northern part

305
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.240
of the state will.

306
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.919
But so there we were.

307
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.919
We had fish that we had come down in the

308
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.519
stream earlier that day.

309
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.919
We you know, barbecued.

310
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.639
Basically, had a fish on a stick that night, and

311
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.240
we decided to bust out our truck gear. We had

312
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.440
a glow in the dark beat and so you know,

313
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.440
about half of us were over there fishing this little cove.

314
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.559
The cove is probably it is probably about ten feet

315
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.480
deep altogether.

316
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.799
You could probably walk across it, across the boulders that

317
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.879
were in the bottom of us, and the other half

318
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.080
were over by the fire, you know, drinking beer, you know.

319
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:46.840
Just hanging out.

320
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.399
We're you know, we're all about nineteen twenty years old

321
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.440
at that point, so we're out there having a few beers,

322
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.159
having a little camping party. But then, you know, the

323
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.720
five or six of us that were over there fishing,

324
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.639
we were catching a fish. We're talking eighteen to twenty

325
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.000
one inch trout every single cast. We're easing glowing the

326
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.799
dark bake and so they're like, whoa, whoa, you think

327
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.559
we have enough?

328
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.679
And they're like, yeah, yeah, you like, wait a second

329
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:19.279
to hear them.

330
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:26.080
And I started to hear this cracking, like branches cracking,

331
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.240
and this the mountain is so steep right up from

332
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.679
that lake, and I said, hey, you guys, be quiet,

333
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:39.360
be quiet. There's something going there's something moving around them.

334
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.960
And sure enough, everybody got quiet, and we're, you know,

335
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.240
pro about a minute later, we heard it and it's

336
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.360
just a loud cracks and we're talking, this is southeast Alaska.

337
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.679
These aren't tweaks.

338
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.440
These are branches that are, you know, four to five

339
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.360
inches thick and I have fallen from the storm.

340
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.200
On the mountainside. You know. He could hear those things

341
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.720
breaking and we're like, what in the world. And my

342
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.599
buddy was like.

343
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.000
To appease the safety and security of the ladies that

344
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.480
were there.

345
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.640
He said, Oh, it's just a crackling front of the fire.

346
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.880
And then we heard a crack, and man, everybody's like, okay,

347
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.039
everybody get over here about the fire. You know, it's

348
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.279
like we went over by the fire, and sure enough,

349
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.759
we didn't hear anything after that. So the next day

350
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.839
we had run out of our provisions, seeing that we

351
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.359
only had a fourteen foot skiff to run back and

352
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:39.880
forth from the shoreline. They we had a group of people,

353
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.960
about half of them went back into town and then

354
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.480
the ladies didn't want to come back out after that,

355
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.960
so the guys that went out, they went back back

356
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.680
into town. There's about six of us at State and

357
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.680
we went fishing out on the lake that day. We

358
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.319
had it's a deep part of the lake, so we

359
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.240
set up rolling here. We were actually trolling for trout

360
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.440
and we're talking twenty six inch trout champion, whatever trophy trout.

361
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.079
We're at it for.

362
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.680
A couple hours, and then we went back to the

363
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:20.240
campsite and we found all the tents that we had had,

364
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:24.599
these giant these boulders that we had seen in that

365
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.279
little lake or whatever the pool of water.

366
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.240
We're talking three hundred to four hundred pound stones.

367
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.799
Because it took you know, it took all six of

368
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:43.599
us to even move those stones. All the tents were crushed.

369
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.920
There were four different tens. There were four different tents

370
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.400
that were set up. We're talking you know, medium family

371
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.119
sized tents, not a small little tent, but big tents.

372
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.039
Something had to have been strong enough to left one

373
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.960
of those stones up to drop it right in the

374
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:05.279
middle of those tents. We're the only ones up there,

375
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.599
and if it was a single person man, they had

376
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.279
been super strong. And we're talking giant stones. And then

377
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.759
we started to put the pieces together. And if if

378
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:21.119
you know about commercial fishermen, we use explosives to ward

379
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:26.240
off sea lions and seals away from our sane nets.

380
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.960
And uh so I said, hey, guys, you know what

381
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.759
those stones are from. It's from it's from the big

382
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.240
guy throwing them off of that cliff up there.

383
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.920
We looked up there. There's a cliff right above that,

384
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.599
above that pond.

385
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.359
So we figure that he probably throws stones in there

386
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.240
when he sees big fish down there because it pustal

387
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.720
clear water. And so we I put two and two

388
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.480
together that these things.

389
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.799
Use stones for concussive fishing.

390
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.519
They throw the rock in there, they kill the stun

391
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.319
the fish, and go down there and pull the fish out.

392
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.319
Like I was saying, there's not they're not a small

393
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.359
trout in that lake.

394
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:17.359
So uh and so in so we we uh we

395
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.680
decided not to capture that night. Yeah, we packed him.

396
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.559
So yeah that was uh, that was in the year

397
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.279
two thousand. So I have a couple of kickers for you.

398
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.359
It relates to cryptozoology, if you even want to.

399
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:42.079
Call it that, because these things are real. Uh.

400
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.960
And this goes back in even four years before this

401
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.160
story that I just told you, probably in the probably

402
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:53.359
about that springtime in nineteen ninety six. My best friend

403
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.680
it was actually his birthday, uh.

404
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.000
Two days ago that birthday of that guy well.

405
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.960
Out bike riding and he decided to take the main

406
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.160
road and I decided to take the bike trail, which.

407
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.440
Is a long.

408
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.480
This is on Anett Island, so if anybody wants to

409
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.960
look at that. There's a bike trail along lake. It's

410
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.279
called Skaters Lake. There's a bike trail, and then there's

411
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.200
a main road, a main highway.

412
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.359
It's called Airport Road.

413
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.359
It goes about fifteen miles out the road as we

414
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.720
call it, because on an island that's all you have

415
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.599
is out the road. There's no highways whatever. So I

416
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.359
take the bike trail and I'm up at the top

417
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.160
the higher elevation of the bike trail waiting for my

418
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.039
friend to hoof it on his bike on the main

419
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.160
roadway around the other side of the lake. Well, I

420
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.160
get here to the top of the trail, I'm waiting

421
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:58.920
on the road and I hear a tree break And

422
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:04.160
we're talking about so there's there's different portions of what

423
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.039
do you call it, not foliage, but different type of

424
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:14.799
vegetation and landscaper. It's muskeg. You know, you step in

425
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.279
that muskeg and you're sinking in. But I'm talking about

426
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.920
a tree. These are These are stunted uh, stunted pines

427
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.079
all over that muskeg. Again, stunted bolt to become vulpines,

428
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.119
and I hear one of them break, and I was like,

429
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.920
I have there been a big vulpine a break like that?

430
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:39.240
And then I hear this whoosh whoosh, like like you know,

431
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.559
a bird or maybe a giant bird, which is what

432
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.640
I'm getting to you here flapping its wings.

433
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.079
And then it stopped.

434
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.279
And then it must have seen my friend coming along

435
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:56.359
on the bike or something.

436
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.200
But we're talking.

437
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:01.039
These things must have pretty good vision. My buddies. My

438
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.799
buddy's there. He pulls up and I'm like, hey, be quiet,

439
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.400
there's something in the in the woods there. This is

440
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.880
you know, this is a place where the forest meets

441
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:19.680
the muskeg things like that. And basically the next thing

442
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.440
that happened after I said that, not more than ten seconds.

443
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.559
Later, woo whoosh, whoo whoosh.

444
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:35.960
And if you never heard of thunderbird, that's that's what

445
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:41.079
it was. That's what I think it was. I don't

446
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.319
know anything else that has.

447
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.720
Giant wings that can make a sound like that, right,

448
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:46.359
And we.

449
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:50.079
Didn't have giant blue we didn't have giant bluetoothes speakers

450
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:55.319
or electricity in forest, you know, twenty four years ago.

451
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.319
So that that's another one. And then I'll get back

452
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.480
to big Foot. I heard you.

453
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:08.000
Guys talking about Ohio, and I just want to put

454
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.839
it out there again that.

455
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.200
I am a long haul driver.

456
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.480
Eleven years ago, I was working for the guy i'm

457
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:20.079
actually working for now, and I had produce.

458
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:21.759
Going from Covington, Kentucky.

459
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.279
I had to drive back up on seventy five to

460
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:31.119
get on Highway thirty five in Okkah and Jeffersonville, and

461
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:35.440
that goes eastbound over into West Virginia and we're talking

462
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:39.880
Chillicothe area, and you have to pass through Jackson County.

463
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:47.720
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon evening at

464
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:52.240
that point, and we're driving along. We had just took

465
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.039
a break on one of the rest stops. My wife

466
00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:02.880
was with me, and I am very observant, like a

467
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:08.920
hyper not like a vigilante, hier, very hyper vigilant on

468
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.720
what's going on, because I'm in a tractor trailer and

469
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.400
that includes anything in anything in the ditches. You know,

470
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.400
is everything safe? You know, I'm looking a mile ahead

471
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:23.759
of myself, but you know, as comes along and it's

472
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.599
starting to become an open field, and then there's trees

473
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:31.759
right along the field and the ditch, you know, basically

474
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.359
a ditch there. And I've seen something move, you know,

475
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:42.960
I've just seen something shift and uh got pretty close

476
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.039
to that tree. And I you know, I don't have

477
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.119
I'm not a thirty five millimeter but I.

478
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.640
Kid you not. My human eyes can zoom in and

479
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.480
see what in the world's going on. It's like, that's

480
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:55.359
not a marege.

481
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.279
And I looked and he stood up and it was

482
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:05.119
a bigfoot. And never in my never in my life

483
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.240
or in my travels or even in my dreams.

484
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.440
But I think I had seen a bigfoot in Ohio.

485
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.440
And that happened, and and that's.

486
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.000
I don't know, if you're familiar with an author named

487
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:26.440
Doug Waller, Yes, I shared that. I shared that story

488
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.680
with him, and he put that little kicker in a book.

489
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.759
Uh you know, you know, he didn't share my name

490
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.200
anything like that, but yeah, I shared that story with them,

491
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.200
maybe ten ten years ago or something like that. Sure

492
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.440
enough he put that, Uh he put my little kicker

493
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:46.519
story in the book.

494
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.440
So but yes I did, and I do know.

495
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.759
Because of what I seen, there must be I mean,

496
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:01.400
we all have different races of our human humanoids, you know,

497
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.599
but we.

498
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.559
Have black people we have all kinds of white people, we.

499
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.640
Have all kinds of Native Americans, are any kind of

500
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.559
Pan American or whatever, different races across the world.

501
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:18.200
And I have no question that there are different types.

502
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:23.319
Of these mammals. They're a mammal, that's what they are.

503
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:30.119
And in my tribe, so I am a ciention Indian. Uh,

504
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.640
like I was saying, we inhabit an Island in Alaska.

505
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.759
We emigrated from Canada. So we have two different types

506
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:43.920
of bigfoot. We have a little guy, his name is

507
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:50.440
Bouch and they're not necessarily a juvenile bigfoot. This is

508
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:57.319
a whole another set of little you know, they're little bigfoot. Uh,

509
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:01.519
they're little, but they have big feet real. And then

510
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:04.880
we have we have the big guy and he is

511
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:09.720
commonly known as boots Wook. These are our names that

512
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:14.200
we have for him, Boo Swook and bows. Bouch is

513
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.160
the little guy.

514
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:20.279
Boo Swook is the big one. So I have I

515
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.799
have good there's no question.

516
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.640
And you know in the mythology, in the background of

517
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:32.440
my tribe, my culture and the historical teachings, we never

518
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:37.519
had pen and paper, right, Our stories were our pen

519
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.000
and paper.

520
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:43.279
Our stories were our book. And I have only shared

521
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:44.119
the story.

522
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.720
Of one of the one about Ohio with a couple

523
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.799
of people, and then uh, the one that happened on

524
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:53.200
Lower Tamgas Lake. If you look at lower and you

525
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.200
look at Tamgas Lake on the island, you will see

526
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:01.519
there's an upper and a lower Tamgas Lake that's separated

527
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:07.880
by waterfalls. There are there's a ropes course in the

528
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:13.400
Lower Tamas Lakes area. There are wolves, Uh, there are

529
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:15.119
other predatory animals there.

530
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:17.920
There are now bears there.

531
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:26.079
And uh there you know, we don't have moves, but

532
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.240
we we think that because of the because of the

533
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:35.160
high rate of wolves, that's why there are no blood.

534
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.720
There are rarely any black bears there, but they swim across.

535
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:41.880
They have to swim across. They have to swim miles

536
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:47.559
to get to the island. But we think that bigfoot

537
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:51.680
on an island there. There are many places that have caves.

538
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:54.880
There are many places that have not. You know, people

539
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.119
will probably walked right past it and not known what

540
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:57.599
is there.

541
00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:59.480
So that's sure.

542
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.440
The big portion of my story was the one about

543
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.319
the fishing and the stones that were placed on our tent.

544
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.000
I don't know if they're placing or phone there or whatever,

545
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.279
but there are three three to the four hundred pound rocks.

546
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:18.039
That were sitting on there. You know, we put the

547
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.839
two and two together about how we think that.

548
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:26.920
The big guy issues in that pond right there where

549
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:32.079
we can right and so story they're hopefully kind of

550
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.559
us interesting or by no means conclusive as to what.

551
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:42.519
What these uh, I guess I'll say what these people

552
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:44.759
want to do and how they.

553
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:52.000
Want to you know, be so reclusive to using.

554
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.200
Real because I've at least seen one in my time.

555
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:57.799
There is one video.

556
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:00.839
There's a video on Facebook. Look, I'm sure that a

557
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.799
lot of the communities have seen. But if if you're

558
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.720
interested in what I believe they look like in the

559
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.920
area where I am from, you can look.

560
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.440
Up Ketchikan Bigfoot.

561
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:16.759
Okay, kitchign Bigfoot.

562
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.960
This is in ketcha Can, Alaska. It's about twenty miles

563
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:23.160
from the story that I just told. And if you

564
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:29.480
look close enough in that forest, it's it's interspersed with

565
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:34.440
older trees. Older trees are the softest of all hardwoods.

566
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:38.039
And then we're talking. This is a Congress National Forest

567
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.720
where it's it's a lot of brown and you know,

568
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.480
dark coloring, but there.

569
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:46.920
Are a lot of alders that also grow in there.

570
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.920
So if you look, if you can.

571
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.599
You get conclusive enough about the video, you can agree

572
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.960
with me that these animals, they have the same type

573
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:03.279
of camouflage that would blend right in with the older trees.

574
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.480
And in that video you can see what it appears

575
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.160
that he is carrying food. And at the time that

576
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.599
this video was shot by whoever shot at the anonymous

577
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:19.400
that it was in the springtime.

578
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.400
So in the springtime, we have something that is called

579
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:26.559
skunk cabbage and.

580
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.880
They have giant four to five foot leaves and then

581
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.400
they have a stamen, a stamen that comes up it.

582
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.200
You know, it flowers, it has a nice white flower

583
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.400
to it, and then it gets hard in the middle

584
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:46.640
and it seeds. And then it's at that point you know,

585
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.359
our people use this plant too, and the stamen that

586
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:51.119
grows up.

587
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.480
Out of it.

588
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.799
But you can see you can see the bigfoot that's

589
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.519
holding the stamen in his hand. If you look at

590
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:02.440
that video, catch can bigfoot? You even have it slowed

591
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.839
down and stabilized in ten eighty B. So I hope

592
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:10.680
everybody liked my story. I am actually behind the wheel.

593
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:16.680
I am six miles exactly before crossing in Arkansas, and

594
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.119
then let's see, I have seventy four miles to go

595
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.440
until our reached Memphis.

596
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:27.240
So wow, that's I appreciate your accounts. And man, it

597
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.279
really makes you wonder when you hear stuff like that.

598
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.000
If that was a warning, like, hey, we can put

599
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.200
this rock on top of your tent, but you weren't

600
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.559
in there, But next time you might hear. I don't know,

601
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.200
but thank you so much Tech for coming out. I

602
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:41.880
appreciate that.

603
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.480
I hope.

604
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.519
I hope what I said everybody believe me because I'm

605
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:49.359
not a bsir.

606
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.240
No.

607
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.799
I think it's I think it's important what you shared.

608
00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.640
Thank you, Yes, yep, exactly, Thank you, Bud.

609
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:04.200
All right, Well, we hope to hear from you another time.

610
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:09.039
Yes, I'm happy I found you on Live. I follow you,

611
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.440
and I thank you so much.

612
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:17.079
Thank you, sir, all right, good stuff. Tech had some

613
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:19.079
really interesting stuff.

614
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.400
We had.

615
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.679
It are back and forth. I think there is a

616
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:26.920
lag going on. I hope to talk to him another time.

617
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.599
I bet he has stories about Prince of Wales Island.

618
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:35.519
That's my guess, because that island he was talking about

619
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:36.079
was right.

620
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:41.119
Right next to it. You have a great, great day all.

621
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:44.199
Thank you for the support and for the community.

622
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:44.519
Guys.

623
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:46.920
You guys all rock. We'll see you next time.

624
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.360
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

625
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.639
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

626
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:57.559
would love to get out in those woods and experience

627
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:02.039
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

628
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.719
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

629
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:10.639
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

630
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.760
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's gonna be even

631
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:18.639
better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll be

632
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:21.760
one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll probably

633
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:27.079
I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard

634
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:33.239
anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well, you

635
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.519
just got to be there. We'll leave at that. More

636

about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now check

637
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.840

638
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:48.239
series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can not

639
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:52.480

of Oakride with Jason Kenzie to the bigfoot spots to

642
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.840
look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign up

643
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:11.920

the next chapter in his documentary series, which is Searching

645
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.679
for Sasquatch. This is a once in a lifetime deal.

646
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.920
It's just it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

to see you at the booth in Oakridge this year.

655
00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:59.679
We can talk about your encounter. Was able to talk

656
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.360
to so many people last year and the year before.

657
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.199
It is an incredible time. You're not going to want

658
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:10.480
to miss it, and I'll see you there. Before we

659
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:13.000
wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to

660
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.400
a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military,

661
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.159
any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that

662
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.559
no one can explain, or if you're a National park ranger,

663
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:27.159
or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or

664
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.360
if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on

665
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.760
the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency,

666
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.159
or working intelligence and you've stumbled upon something you're not

667
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.480
allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic,

668
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.920
or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found

669
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.920
tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging

670
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:50.800
industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with

671
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:54.760
government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never

672
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.679
told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

673
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.280
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

674
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.039
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

675
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:09.320
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

676
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:13.039
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

677
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.719
NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the

678
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:21.400
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

679
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:26.480
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

681

you've been forced to carry alone and you're not alone,
