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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.359
So stay with us. Feel free to share what you've experienced.

11
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:40.320
Her my first time, can I say where? It's where

12
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:40.799
they were?

13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:42.880
Absolutely? Yeah.

14
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.840
It was in Yankee Springs, Michigan. We were coon hunting.

15
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.560
I was just a child. I can't tell you exactly

16
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.280
how old, but it's possible I was five or six

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.039
years old. The dog took off and chased a deer,

18
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.000
which they weren't supposed to do, so my grandfather set

19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.159
us on a tree that had been broken down to

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.560
wait there while he went and got the dogs. Because

21
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.359
it was a swampy area where we had parked, and

22
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.959
all around us was a hill that you could see,

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.239
you know, the outline of trees and such. And my

24
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.719
brother that was with me was getting a little bit

25
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:39.519
nervous about something, and I pointed up the hill and said, well,

26
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.640
Grandpa's just standing right there, and he goes, no, that's

27
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.760
not grandpa. And my grandfather came left in the opposite

28
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.519
direction and came back up the hill from the opposite direction.

29
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.319
And although he was a big man, this thing was

30
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.680
wide and big. And I couldn't tell you exactly now,

31
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.400
but I've always remembered it. And when we talked about

32
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.199
it the next day, my grandfather mentioned that I said

33
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:18.199
it felt like being in the twilight zone because of

34
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.960
seeing him walk up after I just saw him in

35
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.360
the opposite direction about one hundred yards by second two

36
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:34.800
incidences we're in Athens, Michigan. The first one, I was

37
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:41.280
sitting indoors and I heard the old Ohio type yell

38
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.439
in the woods that were beyond the acreage in my backyard.

39
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.080
I could hear indoors. My wife come running in the

40
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.039
house scared. My neighbor went in the house and called

41
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.199
me and said, did you hear that? And I said, yes,

42
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.919
I even heard it indoors. It was May twenty seventh,

43
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:14.400
about right around I would say maybe twenty twelve, an

44
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:19.159
exact week later. I was the one outdoors. We had

45
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.879
projects going on because we had just bought the house.

46
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:30.080
I was one outdoors, and the same thing happened from

47
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.680
this wooded area. A friend of mine came later in

48
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.560
the afternoon and I told him about it, and he goes,

49
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.120
let's go check it out. And when we got into

50
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:51.000
the woods there were footprints. I called the bfroo that

51
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.520
who was in charge of it in Michigan. He came

52
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.319
to my house and found other evidence of twisted trees

53
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.919
and everything else that were actually in my yard. We

54
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.560
just had a lot of strange things happen in that

55
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.080
Athens area that you know that there was no explanation

56
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.279
other than bigfoot.

57
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.480
How close do you think it was getting to your house?

58
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.120
I think it was coming up to I had a building,

59
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.040
a giant building, seventy two by forty brick building that

60
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.920
was two stories tall, and in back where I built

61
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.720
a car, built cars and worked on things. I think

62
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.560
it was coming to the back of that building, which

63
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:48.560
was maybe forty to fifty steps from the house. And

64
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.600
I believe it was coming more than one would come

65
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.959
across the street that the woods that lined the road,

66
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.199
because we'd hear them knocking back and forth. At night time.

67
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.600
My wife would wake up to it and shake me

68
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.000
and say, are you listening to that? And of course

69
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:18.319
in summertime we'd have the windows open and I'd pay

70
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.600
a lot of attention to it because it was like

71
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.879
one was signaling to the other. You could tell they

72
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.160
were quite a distance away from each other.

73
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.279
Do you know if hold on sorry, do you know

74
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.360
if your neighbors were experiencing anything as well?

75
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.839
Yes, they were hearing stuff, Like I said. One of

76
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.120
the first times when my wife had heard it, my

77
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.399
neighbor was out there and he heard it and called

78
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.079
me and asked me if I heard it? Me being

79
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.480
in the house, I heard it so plain and so loud.

80
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:04.480
It was almost like you could feel it, especially at

81
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.199
the end of the call. At the end of the call,

82
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:13.319
it got so deep and guttural that it kind of

83
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.800
felt it through the air. And my wife wouldn't get

84
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.319
scared or think bigfoot automatically whatsoever. But she come running

85
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.800
in the house and said, what do you think that was?

86
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.879
And I said, what did it sound like to you?

87
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.800
And the first words that come out of her mouth

88
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.759
were bigfoot, and she wouldn't be someone that would jump

89
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.000
to that conclusion.

90
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.680
Based on what you've experienced over the years, How would

91
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.399
you describe what bigfoot is?

92
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:07.000
I I really I don't believe they're extraterrestial, like I

93
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.120
read and hear people's opinion of. I think they're just

94
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:23.399
an unknown maybe ape, maybe an ape and human mixed.

95
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:30.199
I don't know, because the size just is is what

96
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:37.399
keeps my mind working, you know, the size of them

97
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.120
having to go back so many thousands of years for

98
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:45.800
gigant epithetus to be to have been alive. I don't

99
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.639
believe they could have hid for that long. But now

100
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:58.720
it seems they ain't even hiding. Either that that or

101
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:04.639
AI is taking over and you can't believe none of it.

102
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.240
Yeah, I mean a lot of stuff that you're seeing

103
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.839
out there today is fake because it's AI. But I'm

104
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.399
also saying that we're either at the point where there's

105
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.240
a ton of encounters happening, or people are just at

106
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.560
the point where they don't care and they're sharing what

107
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.319
they've experienced, which I think is great. So it's a

108
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.720
very interesting time period to live in. But thank you

109
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.439
so much for coming up and sharing what you experienced

110
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.840
up there in Michigan.

111
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.879
Well, I just hope that in my lifetime they do

112
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.960
find the correct answer. It's just one of the things

113
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.320
I even pray to God about that I do find

114
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:49.080
out the truth well during my lifetime, and I just

115
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.120
wanted to share that with you, and thank you. I

116
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.799
watch you on here all the time.

117
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.879
That's awesome. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And

118
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.000
I hope you are able to stick around. Thank you,

119
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.120
God bless you.

120
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.759
We'll be here you too.

121
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.440
That's good stuff, good stuff, good first accounts from Michigan.

122
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.080
Thank you, Slinger. All Right, hey, Ronald, how's it going.

123
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.519
I'm good. How are you doing tonight? Hey?

124
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.240
Doing great.

125
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:18.840
I don't know if it's much of.

126
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.919
A story, to be honest with you, if it's I'm

127
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.799
not sure if it's even a bigfoot story, but it was.

128
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.000
It was something that was kind of stuck in my

129
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.159
mind for quite a while. So this happened, you mind

130
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.879
if I just started right away? Uh, this happened. I

131
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.039
want to say about it's going on three years ago.

132
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.840
Between two and three years ago, my one of my

133
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:50.080
older brothers passed away. And I'm in Wisconsin and I

134
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.279
live in Waukee Shaw, Wisconsin, and my brother was living

135
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:59.000
up in the Indian Reservation in Monocua, which is about

136
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.720
a four hour drive up north from Waukee Shaw, Wisconsin.

137
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:04.480
So it's real.

138
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.399
It's a real wooded area, heavily wooded. And we were

139
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:16.519
up there, me, my wife, my three boys, and we

140
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.320
met up with a couple of friends of the family

141
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.120
who were going up for his funeral. We actually had

142
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.799
to do a thing where we're in Mexican American. But

143
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.159
his girlfriend was Native, and when my brother passed away,

144
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.600
you know, they had kids together, they had a Native

145
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.320
funeral for him. That's what he wanted. That was his

146
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.879
last request. And there's a whole ritual that goes with it. It's

147
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.519
kind of cool. I won't go into great detail for it,

148
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.120
but basically, they start a fire in front of the

149
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.759
home and you got to keep it going. That's why

150
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.240
we went up there. I had promised my brother before

151
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.919
he passed away that we would keep the fire burning

152
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.480
for like three days. And it's cold up there, extremely cold.

153
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.600
So when we went up there, we rented out of

154
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.639
place right outside of the Indian Reservation, which is locked.

155
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:11.440
The Flambeaux, So I want to say it was in

156
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.960
the Monocla area. We showed up there. You know, the

157
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.480
days are shorter up here in the cold. This was jeez,

158
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:25.840
I should I should notice. I apologize, but I'm trying

159
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.720
to remember the date. Let me look at it. I

160
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.039
actually got a photo of.

161
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:35.120
His on my on my wall here. Well.

162
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.919
Anyways, this was This was at the end of winter,

163
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:44.279
but it was still extremely cold, and we rented out

164
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.399
of place, like I said, and we were staying out there.

165
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:52.159
And one of the evenings that we came back, after

166
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.360
a lot of the rituals and stuff that we did,

167
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.159
we were all pretty tired and we went back to

168
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.840
the placed, the cottage that we were staying at, and

169
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.919
it was out there all I remember.

170
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:07.039
It's by a lake.

171
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.320
But we never really got any time to spend there

172
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.919
other than because we were there for my brother's funeral.

173
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.159
And like I said, we were there with a couple

174
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.120
of friends. They were in the cottage next to us,

175
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.240
and my wife's a smoker. I'm a smoker too, but

176
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.240
I hadn't gone out with them. They went out in

177
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.440
the back deck her in a front of ours that

178
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.559
was there. This was that night it was pitch black,

179
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.559
and we.

180
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.799
Were sitting in the living room.

181
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:38.639
Watching a movie and they came just busting in the

182
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.039
door with I mean, they were just pale white, and

183
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.519
they swore they heard this animal. And there's a lot

184
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.080
of beer up there. Black bear, you know, you see

185
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.120
them every now and then or whatever. But they swore

186
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.159
up and now this was not a bear. This was

187
00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:01.000
sounded like a very large animal that kind of made

188
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.080
like a roaring yell sound. That's the best they could

189
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.000
explain it. And then they said that it sounded like

190
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.679
when they heard it, they heard it hit the water

191
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.159
because there was a lake down below. But you couldn't

192
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.759
see it at night, you know. And we went and

193
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.679
looked the next day, but there was still snow on

194
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.039
the ground and stuff, so we didn't go all the

195
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.240
way down by the lake. But it was quite a way,

196
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.559
you know, I'd say, maybe like one hundred yards. But

197
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.200
like I said, that night, at night they're out there smoking,

198
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.039
you can't see anything.

199
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:29.799
It's bits black.

200
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.759
But they said that they heard the thing like whatever

201
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.039
it was, they believe jumped in the water or threw

202
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:42.039
something in the water that was extremely large, because the

203
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.399
splash was really loud.

204
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:45.879
And that's that's.

205
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.360
Pretty much the story the wake, the way I remember it.

206
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.240
But it had us all thinking quite a bit.

207
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.279
Wow, that's pretty cool. I don't hear a lot from

208
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:01.360
northern Wisconsin, so that is that is great to hear that.

209
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.480
Thank you for sharing that.

210
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:04.039
Yeah, you're welcome.

211
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:10.960
Have a good night, you too, sir. Hi there, how

212
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:11.440
are you.

213
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.279
Yacht to say? We see in our language?

214
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.240
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, patsy oh, pleasure to meet you, sir.

215
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.399
All right, we'll feel free to share what you would

216
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.120
like to today, sir in.

217
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.600
Our language, I said earlier, yacht to say that means

218
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.480
hello and goodbye.

219
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.919
But my story goes I had a friend of mine.

220
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.679
I was hunting in Colorado.

221
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.879
I'm a big time Native American hunter, and I was

222
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.559
hunting elk.

223
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.519
Me and my son.

224
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:51.039
We had ATVs, we had trailers, we had my old

225
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:58.159
antique what I say, it's called canvas. It's made out

226
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.440
of Denver Canvas Tent Company. I'm not getting sponsorship, so

227
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.399
just that.

228
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.480
Off right off the bat.

229
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.159
But we were we were hunting up there and we

230
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:15.440
were in the Salida area. It's by going up towards Bonanza.

231
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.919
If you go on Colorado map, you go towards Salida.

232
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.960
Further up there's nothing but a so watch area. That's

233
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.559
that's a native language, so watch.

234
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.320
We were up hunting.

235
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:34.120
My buddy of mine came back, came down from Ohio.

236
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.080
He brought his girlfriend and her son, and we were hunting.

237
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.080
We went scouting the day before. We got there, before

238
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.919
the hunting season opened. So we went scouting and we

239
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.240
were at twelve five hundred feet on the mountains.

240
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:50.919
As natives as we are.

241
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.799
I took him to a pristine spot where I knew

242
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:59.840
the elk word. They say in our language. When it's dry,

243
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.480
you go high. When there's snow, you go low. That

244
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.279
just our way.

245
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.600
So we were hunting. We came back. There was a

246
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.360
lot of hunters.

247
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:16.320
Believe me, that's a very predominant big bull hunt. So

248
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.639
we were made up camp. I had a hunter's tamp,

249
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.519
we had food going. I was cooking some of my

250
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.480
famous oyster soup. And I think that's what brought him

251
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:35.000
in because my friend Dave, and he's from Ohio.

252
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.720
He's a metal.

253
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.440
Salesman for educational purposes. But he was up there and

254
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:46.360
he brought his desert storm. So I was cooking, were

255
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:47.679
enjoying camp.

256
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.480
Was going five of us, not one of us.

257
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:57.519
Five when we saw the bushes move eight to nine

258
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.000
feet high at the very outskirts.

259
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:01.159
So I had some common lamps.

260
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:08.279
I had a shower slash bathroom facility built out towards

261
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.160
the There was a little creek running behind us. But

262
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.279
these bushes were moving, and he freaked out. I told Dave, hey, no, no,

263
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.519
be cool. Native to these lands, I said to him,

264
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.680
he just wants to know what he smells.

265
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.119
The food I was cooking was oysters.

266
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:33.440
Oysters carry if you're cooking oysters, out and open, and

267
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.400
he came through. We saw the bushes. But the sound

268
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:43.680
when I watched this one program on YouTube, these gentlemen

269
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.839
are in the very backskirts of Alaska.

270
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.519
The same thing that he said is the same thing

271
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.519
I said. The bass.

272
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.000
The sound of the grunt resonates through your body. It's

273
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:04.480
not what you normally hear from deer, elk, moose, bear,

274
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:05.920
or mountain lion.

275
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.119
It's totally different. As Native people, we know these hairy creatures.

276
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.880
We call them brothers from the from the mountains.

277
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.200
So he came to visit. I told him to chill out.

278
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.880
We're not going to do nothing. He's not bothering us.

279
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.880
He just wanted to say ahy by his movement and

280
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.599
we had to accept it. And I said, just leave

281
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.720
it alone. But my friend Dave pulled out that big

282
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:34.240
Israeli and I started laughing. I told him, hey, calm down, Dave.

283
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.119
He comes in peace, he's not coming to bother us.

284
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.880
He's enjoys the food I was cooking.

285
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:49.480
Mm hm m hm. Wow, that is wild. My goodness.

286
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.480
Have you been fortunate enough to have any other experiences

287
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:54.039
out there?

288
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.160
That was my first ever experience.

289
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.240
But I always watched these programs and here's something that

290
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.559
you have to understand. I'm not saying it out of disrespect.

291
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.920
I'm saying it out of knowledge. Our people, our people

292
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.079
were basically friends with these creatures.

293
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.079
We've given gifts we would we would give. They were

294
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.160
called the protectors of the forest.

295
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.680
Where you got to understand, if you're not from these lands,

296
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:27.440
you will not understand it. They've been present to our

297
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:31.960
people for thousands of years and what they're trying to

298
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.920
portray in these channels and all these YouTube channels, you

299
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.759
have to have the vibration, the proper vibration to these

300
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.880
lands to communicate with these creatures.

301
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.079
They only understand our language. If you know what I mean.

302
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.240
Yeah, absolutely, How does one do that?

303
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.640
You can't, You can't, you can't. It's impossible. They've known

304
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.680
us for thousands of years. Us are people people being

305
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:05.799
to these lands. They understood us, We understood them, we

306
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:11.039
respected them, they respected us. And now they're making millions

307
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.680
of dollars where people are donating money and so forth

308
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.759
and so on. We're something they are not aware of

309
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:21.200
because they're not people from these lands. You have to

310
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:25.160
understand that. That's clearly stated. If you're from Russia, you're

311
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.240
from Europe, or wherever you come from, that's your lens.

312
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.839
These are our my native lands. We know these stories

313
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:39.839
throughout history. Many tribes have stories of these people, the area, creatures,

314
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.920
or the mountains. And that's where I think to get

315
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.079
down to the nitty gritty, if you run, if you

316
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:53.759
really want a real, authentic video or true connection to

317
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.480
these lands, to communicate with these people, it's our people,

318
00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.559
but no one's asked us yet.

319
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.839
So let me make sure I get this right. So

320
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:12.680
in order to communicate correctly, really one needs to go

321
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:17.599
through through an individual as yourself.

322
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:19.880
As our native people to these lands.

323
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.480
Yes, right, So how would one do that?

324
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:29.359
Like I said, you're asking a question that's very difficult.

325
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.400
I guess I can say.

326
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:32.240
I can say this.

327
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.240
When I was up there and I felt that presence,

328
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.759
the vibration that it was sending out to me. I

329
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:43.319
felt that piece. My friend Dave felt otherwise. He's not

330
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:48.079
from these lands. His ancestors came from somewhere else. Understand

331
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.559
our stories. Look them up. That's all I can say.

332
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.680
You call me a liar, I see it.

333
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.759
Call me a liar if you want, but look them up.

334
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.920
These are our stories. No one asked us.

335
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.240
But yet you have these people spinning off all kinds

336
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.000
of this net something or another and making money. Donate,

337
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:11.759
we'll go research. They feel the vibration from outsiders as well.

338
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.319
Remember thousands of years have people been here. We felt

339
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.480
that same vibration, didn't understand the lingo, and yet it

340
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.160
cost us our land. We are here, We're still here.

341
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.720
We don't hate you. We just want you to be fair.

342
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.799
That's all I'm mat.

343
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.400
I got you, I got it, I got it. Wow,

344
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.359
It's that's some really fascinating stuff to think about. Thank

345
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.880
you so much for sharing your viewpoint on things I

346
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.680
some of My most favorite conversations have been with you know,

347
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.279
I've talked to individuals from the Tully River Reservation from

348
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.920
Uh yeah, yeah, it's just the things you learned from

349
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:02.240
those conversations are just incredible. So thank you so much.

350
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:03.559
It's out of respect.

351
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.839
In our language, we would say that means hello and goodbye.

352
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:14.119
There's no such thing as i'll see you later, but

353
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.440
anyway she will call patchy.

354
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.880
I'm a Native artist and Shyana Wayoman.

355
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.079
With all the disturbance and all the vibrations are going

356
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:29.440
sideways with this earth wars, and you know, w's to

357
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.680
just say that with educational purposes, all these ws are

358
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.119
circling our people. Uh, this is not what we signed

359
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.880
up for. And I hate to bring politics, but politics

360
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.000
is crooked, That's all I can say. And it's never

361
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.319
it's never been straight for us since day one, since

362
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.519
they came off the Mayflower. Those pilgrims were very nice

363
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.839
to us, and we found that the end result after

364
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:56.440
the fact.

365
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:01.240
But when it comes to Bigfoot, ask us.

366
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.279
If we're willing to speak up on these special creatures

367
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:09.440
that we're sent here to coexist with us, but in

368
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:13.920
the shadows, so to speak, if we were up.

369
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.160
In the mountains in summertime.

370
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.880
We would run across them because they just like us,

371
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.519
they migrate the food. The elk and the deer they

372
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.440
come down because of the snow, the level of snow,

373
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.200
so they have to come down, and they follow them

374
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.519
because that's what they're you know, food is.

375
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:35.839
It's been a known.

376
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:40.400
Fact that every time you go through these territories throughout

377
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:46.680
the United States, there's always called a trail, a game trail.

378
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.119
Learned the game trail as Native people, we learned for

379
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.599
a thousands of years. We know where the buffalo were coming,

380
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.480
the elk, the deer, the moose, and so forth and

381
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:04.359
so on, until we were disturbed on our piece of

382
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.000
our land. And then that was taken from us by

383
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:13.279
the annihilation of millions abu or buffalo, our mainstay of food.

384
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:14.319
Uh.

385
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.000
If you can look at the serengetti back in Africa

386
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.119
that was existing here.

387
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:23.720
The elk used to be in the open fields, the moose,

388
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.960
the black bear, the grizzly.

389
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:32.559
Look at Alaska, there's not many trees, but what's roaming

390
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:37.079
there exactly what was roaming here, the elk, the wolves,

391
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.799
the black bear, the grizzly, the you know, all these animals,

392
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.240
the buffalo, and then on top of that you go

393
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:46.279
further the.

394
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:50.480
Giant migration of the not antelope. But what are they

395
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:57.119
called the not reindeer, caribou. There you go.

396
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.640
That is our people's We knew the cycle of migration,

397
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.319
and we would store our food during summertime or winter

398
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:09.960
because that's the coldest they would come through. We would

399
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.200
take what we need to last us through winter. So

400
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.759
these are the simple facts. There's not something that's scientific

401
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:20.480
or somebody writing on the piece of paper.

402
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.960
These are facts.

403
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:27.839
These animals would migrate and our people would intercept them

404
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.599
in this migrations and have food for winter.

405
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.400
The United States was no different.

406
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.759
But when it comes to Bigfoot, that's sacred.

407
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:39.160
It's important to us.

408
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:43.960
These are the caretakers of the woods, and we named

409
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:45.759
them that, and they were like the Harry.

410
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.079
Brothers so to speak.

411
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.039
So you don't get a lot of information from our

412
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.720
people because we're kind of like, let's just say in

413
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:53.680
left field.

414
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:54.559
Don't want to speak about it.

415
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:58.559
But there's many stories if you talk to our native

416
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:02.680
people about the Harry brothers that live in the mountains

417
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.920
and they're here and now you guys are seeing just

418
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:12.759
midgets of evidence, but nobody knows what truly evidence that's occurred.

419
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:15.519
We have it in our stories.

420
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:25.000
I'm facinating. Well, thank you for coming up. I I

421
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:30.039
appreciate you, Sharon. I think it it this will point

422
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.519
steer people in the right direction. But thank you so

423
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:35.359
much for for coming up. Sir.

424
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.440
You have to respect it. This is not something that's

425
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.880
a sideshow. You have to you have to respect what

426
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:46.759
what Creator gave us. He gave us protectors, just like

427
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:49.839
uh uh. And I hate to get into politics, you

428
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.960
know how quickly that is?

429
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:53.799
What? What?

430
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:53.880
What?

431
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.920
Everything that's going on in this in this atmosphere.

432
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:03.920
United States, uh to island atrocities throughout years and I

433
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.359
hate it. Like I said, I don't want to go

434
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:10.440
into that, but as a Native American to these lands,

435
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:16.240
it's unfortunate that greed is the root of all evil.

436
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.359
And when they're chopping all these trees down and around

437
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:25.759
like just say Brazil, Columbia, all these where the indigenous

438
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:30.079
people live, they're tearing down all these forests.

439
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.480
That is the breadth of this earth.

440
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.400
That cleans the air that we all breathe, is these

441
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:45.480
jungles and these places that we call inhabitable places. That's

442
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:51.000
our lung to this earth. And when people don't understand

443
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.519
what we understand as native people, when it comes to

444
00:28:54.920 --> 00:29:00.000
our brother in the mountains, the Hairy Brother, they make.

445
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:05.400
Turkish out of it. It's unfortunate.

446
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:13.960
So it's a lot to learn. It's it's a lot

447
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.119
to learn, but it's a lot to think about as well.

448
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:20.240
But I appreciate you coming up. Thank you so much, sir.

449
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:25.279
Thank you, my friend. I come in peace. I hope

450
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.920
people understand what I'm saying. It's simple. You don't need science.

451
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.960
You need to understand that this vibration this earth is

452
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.599
putting off.

453
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.880
It's going to be the end of all of us.

454
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:43.559
Greed is controlling everything throughout this country and this world.

455
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.480
We never we never were brought up that way. We

456
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.279
were brought up to live coexistent with this land, the

457
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.119
animals that the Creator gave us. And it says in

458
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.319
their Bible, and I hate to say this, everything I

459
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:06.960
have for you is there, the fruits, the many vegetables,

460
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.759
and the healing purposes of all these plants that he

461
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:16.079
gave us to heal ourselves. But see, people don't think

462
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:20.519
that way in today's world. They think of simplicity in

463
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:22.279
big pharma.

464
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:24.640
Theory.

465
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:29.839
Take a pill head, itche goes away. It's out there,

466
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.359
it's growing in these lands. Our people knew of this.

467
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.119
It heals our body. Everything that comes from this earth

468
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:46.079
was given to all of us. But see what amazes

469
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:50.160
people is the extraordinary stuff that happens on this earth.

470
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:56.119
Something don't they have no clue of or no existent

471
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.640
or connection to it.

472
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:02.039
If you know what I mean, Our people were connected.

473
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.839
So if you look at the pipher glyphs throughout the

474
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.799
United States, you see a big hairy thing with a

475
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:08.519
light on it.

476
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:11.240
Yes, that is Bigfoot.

477
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.880
Absolutely, it's a being that It's a being that we

478
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:19.559
ourselves try to understand.

479
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:24.880
But there's a purpose. It's here for a reason.

480
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.160
Maybe it's here to share our end, to tell us

481
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.160
a story if we can communicate with it properly.

482
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:35.880
Humans are bad people.

483
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:44.519
They always hate each other because a greed, anger, or

484
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.720
even just blindfolded not knowing what direction is up or down.

485
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.039
It's sad that we have to continue living this way

486
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:58.759
in this country of my people, my lens. Under all

487
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:02.799
this chaos that's going on today, it's going to be

488
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:04.000
end of all of us.

489
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:11.079
No one's safe. When when When the when the time comes,

490
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:21.279
Where are you going to hide? That is all I

491
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:26.079
have to say. I'm Ray BLACKBIRDI wika up patching, I

492
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.839
come in peace.

493
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.200
I hope you understand what I try to say in

494
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.920
my message not to disrespect.

495
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:39.519
Listen to the words why are a human always hating

496
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.960
other humans? For what reason? Creator sends us here to

497
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:50.039
live on this land to be free people? Are we

498
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.119
really free? That is all I have to say.

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.119

Thank you for coming up, sir. Wow, that was really special. Guys,

502
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.400
that was a special chat. My goodness, there was a

503
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:21.119
lot to take away from that. I hope Hey night, sure,

504
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:22.519

505
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.039
Not too bad? How about yourself?

506
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.279
Hey good? I feel free to share what you've experienced

507
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.839
out there in the pnw Okay.

508
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.200
Yeah.

509
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.200
I lived up in the Olympic National Park in the

510
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:42.079
Pacific Northwest, the rainforest, and I had several instances. The

511
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.279
one though, that was the most striking where I got

512
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.640
a very good clear view of a big foot was

513
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.440
I had worked at a shipyard. I was building boats,

514
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.640
and i'd got worked a late shift and I was

515
00:33:56.680 --> 00:34:04.240
headed home after getting some dinner, and I was the

516
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:06.680
road went along the swamp. There was a harbor on

517
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.679
one side and a deep wooded area off to the

518
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.239
left to the south, and I was going west, going

519
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.960
back toward the coast towards where I was living, right

520
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.880
on the beach there, and uh, the road turned. It

521
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.960
is almost midnight, is close to It was close to midnight,

522
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.559
and it was dark, and I had to pick up

523
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.079
with these k Sea lights across the top that used

524
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.280
to be popular back and they spotlights across the roll bar.

525
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:39.440
It's kind of an off road truck. And uh, so

526
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:41.599
I was out on that highway by myself, just a

527
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:46.199
two lane going along between the harbor there. There was

528
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.079
a swamp there off between the road and the harbor.

529
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:49.760
Then.

530
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.199
So I was going along toward the coast and had

531
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.320
my big k Sea lights on trying to light it up.

532
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.360
It's kind of drizzly, and uh, the road turned just

533
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.920
a little bit to the left, and I was as

534
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.920
I'm coming up, I saw on the shoulder what I

535
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:11.039
thought was on the shoulder, what I thought was a hunter,

536
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:14.880
a bow hunter in a gilly suit. And because that

537
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.880
was a deep swamp, deep wilderness, area. It was bo season.

538
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.599
It was close to November, and in that part of

539
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:24.440
the country was bo season at the time. I thought

540
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.719
it well and a bow hunter had gotten lost and

541
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.719
finally found his way out to the highway, and here

542
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.039
he's walking up the road trying to make his way

543
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:33.719
back to town or get somebody to pick him up

544
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:37.079
in a gilly suit. That was my first thought when

545
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:40.280
I saw it up ahead a little ways, kind of

546
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.559
beside the road. But I got up close to it

547
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.360
and I had all those lights on, and I realized

548
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:50.440
that's not somebody standing on the shoulder, because the shoulder

549
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.440
of the road drops down into that swamp about maybe

550
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:59.159
ten foot or more. And he wasn't standing on the road.

551
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.039
He was standing on the bank. But he was so

552
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.440
tall that he was probably his head is five or

553
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:09.039
six foot off the road, so I'm guessing he's probably

554
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.000
every bit of He had been close to eight to

555
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:15.159
ten foot tall from how far down the bank the

556
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.679
shoulder he was standing, and it looked just like a

557
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:21.360
dude in a gilly suit, you know. Just of course,

558
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:22.760
it was at night, so I didn't see a lot

559
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.719
of details, but he was standing there staring at me.

560
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:31.440
And when I saw it like it took me minute

561
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:35.360
to register what I was looking at, because it's like

562
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:38.599
I saw it, but I didn't believe it. It was

563
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.400
so out of what I was expecting to see, and

564
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.840
so I slowed down. But when I realized it wasn't

565
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.119
not a hunter needing help, I got this sense of

566
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.559
fear that come over me. That thing scared me to death,

567
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:58.519
and I went on past it about twenty thirty feet

568
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:03.000
up the road. Gave me time to get armed and

569
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.039
spun around and tried to catch it in my lights again.

570
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:07.920
I wanted to see it, but I didn't want to

571
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:11.119
see it again without feeling like I could protect myself

572
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:13.039
in some way. That thing, it was huge, scared me

573
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.280
to death, but I never saw it by the time

574
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:19.199
I got turned around and had gone. But I saw it.

575
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:23.079
I mean I really, you know, the Indians all had stories,

576
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:26.079
and I had hunting buddies that had stories, and I

577
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:28.000
was just kind of wrote it off as a legend

578
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:33.440
or just campfire stories, you know. But man, that night

579
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:37.199
I saw it, I mean, in full spotlight, staring back

580
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.719
at me. I'm a believe it, whether I want to

581
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:44.639
be or not now, but it was something never forgot it.

582
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:45.079
Wow.

583
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.360
But I was standing there. That was about eleven o'clock.

584
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.320
I'm thinking he was probably hunting in that swamp and

585
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.440
I was trying to get up up into the mountains

586
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.599
up the wooded area across the road and I happened

587
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.920
to catch it and my spotlights there. But yeah, it

588
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:10.159
was something else. It was that wild I wish I

589
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.320
wish now you know they got the cameras on the

590
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:14.920
dash you can put on your now. I wish i'd

591
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.719
have had that because I would have had it in

592
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.199
full spotlights, and that had been a something to have.

593
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.360
But i'd heard him. I've heard him since then. I've

594
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:28.920
spent a lot of time in the wilderness, and uh,

595
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.320
i'd heard him plenty times. But I didn't know what

596
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.199
the noise was. In the woods, you hear lots of things,

597
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.880
and normally you understand what it is. But they do

598
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.880
like a knocking on a tree, and they make different noises,

599
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:44.400
and there's a certain gawl that they make. And I'd

600
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.679
heard that knocking, oh four or five times. I didn't

601
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:49.920
know what it was. I just figured somebody's out chopping

602
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:53.280
a tree down. And but I never I never one

603
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:56.320
time I tried to find the fella doing the chopping,

604
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:00.320
and I never could find him. And it didn't till

605
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:04.039
years later. I started learning what I had my encounter,

606
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.119
and I started doing investigation, like what in the world

607
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.519
these things are real? You know? Then I heard about

608
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:12.239
the knocking, like, well, that's what I heard, So I

609
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.239
guess I've had several experiences with them, But that that

610
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.000
night in the spotlight's on the truck, that was that

611
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:20.840
that kind of made the believer out of me, whether

612
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:21.800
I wanted to be or not.

613
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:27.280
You know, oh, absolutely, And what what year did you say?

614
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:27.599
That was?

615
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:28.880
Oh?

616
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.559
That had been uh, that had been ninety nine.

617
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:40.199
Okay, gotcha November. Are you do you feel comfortable sharing

618
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:45.679
the general area or just leave it to Olympic National Parking?

619
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:48.159
Yeah, I'm fine with that. That was in grays Harbor,

620
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:49.159
I was.

621
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:54.599
Yeah, grays Harbor problem from Aberdeen to a Westport where

622
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:58.480
I was living, and that grays Harbor is full of

623
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.119
it evidently.

624
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.840
You know, one hundred percent. I mean there's so much

625
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.159
activity in Grace Harper it is wild.

626
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.840
Yeah. And now I don't know if there's something you

627
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.480
want to use, if it means much to you, but

628
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:17.719
to me, I was raised in an environment where I

629
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:21.039
don't know, maybe I'm saying too much, but I know

630
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:24.079
a lot of people that had some spiritual problems if

631
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:29.400
you make sense demonic issues, and there's a type there's

632
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.679
a type of fear when you're in the presence or

633
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.599
experiencing having a demonic experience. It's like a certain strain

634
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:40.320
of fear that is unique to that type of enron

635
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.519
set situation. And that's what hit me when I saw him,

636
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.760
and I had that same I don't know how I'll

637
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:52.360
say it, flavor tight of fear when I saw him,

638
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:56.840
And so I don't know. I've always wondered maybe there's

639
00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.360
some kind of connection, but I don't know, you know,

640
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.719
it's just it was just maybe it's just responding to

641
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.039
something I don't understand, and that's how I responded. So

642
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:09.280
maybe just on my part, I don't know if that

643
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:14.000
was a result of the type of influence I was

644
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.679
falling under or just my reaction to the unknown.

645
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.360
You know, that's really interesting.

646
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.719
Yeah, that was interesting to me. I've never really sort

647
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:24.639
of through that entirely.

648
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:32.079
But a question for you, just in case you know anything,

649
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:35.280
because you're from that area, have you heard of anything

650
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:37.199
up by the Lake Cushman.

651
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:41.320
Area, Cushman. I didn't spend too much time around Cushman.

652
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.079
I have a similar story, and I don't know. It

653
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:49.880
was my grandfather, if you want to hear it, if

654
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:53.159
you got a moment, yeah, absolutely, Okay. He was a

655
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:58.199
hunting or he was fishing up north. Oh what's the

656
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:03.760
name that lake that was just south of a Tahola

657
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.840
the reds up there, and uh, I can't remember the

658
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.239
name of that lake. But anyway, he was out there fishing,

659
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.000
got dark, and he loaded his stuff and backed his

660
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:15.880
truck or in the small parking lot to try and

661
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.719
get to go home. And he back accidentally backed the

662
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:26.199
tires of his pickup off the parking lot there, and

663
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.639
so here he's out middle of nowhere, stuck. He couldn't

664
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.960
get the tires started spinning out. He was stuck. So

665
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:36.639
he's trying to figure out how to get out of there.

666
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:38.199
And uh.

667
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:41.800
While he's back there with a shovel trying to do

668
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:45.880
something whatever he could, he said, some fella come out

669
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:48.000
of the woods. And he was he was huge, he

670
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:50.639
was like seven foot tall, just a giant of a man.

671
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.039
And but it was dark, so he couldn't see him

672
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:57.000
real clearly, I'm his pitch black. The guy never went

673
00:42:57.039 --> 00:42:58.320
around in front of the truck, so it was kind

674
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:00.760
of by the light the light of the tail lights

675
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:04.400
of the pickup. And the guy just walked out of

676
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:08.559
the woods. Great big h he said, he's built like

677
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:11.400
an eight. But it was a man, and he just

678
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:13.400
thought it was some kind of a hermit or something.

679
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.239
Sometimes you get people who just they're kind of odd,

680
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:18.239
or they move out in the woods and be a

681
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.880
hermit so they don't fit into society, and that there's

682
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.440
more comfortable there. So he assumed that's sort of fell

683
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.960
it was. He never said a word to him, walked out, helped,

684
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:30.840
just leaned up against the back of this truck and

685
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:32.760
shoved it a foot or two forward to get him

686
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:34.320
up on the solid and turn around and walk back

687
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.679
in woods. And never said a word to him.

688
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:36.960
No way.

689
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:41.920
So that would have been just south of Tahola, up

690
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.480
on the reds there. So I look him back. I

691
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.360
wondered if it wasn't a sash squash or a big

692
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:49.599
foot or whatever you want to call it, you know, but.

693
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:53.559
Yeah, I mean it would make sense. But yeah, so

694
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:55.559
that's up on the Quinault Reservation.

695
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:57.840
Yeah, yeah, been right around there.

696
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:01.639
Yeah. Oh my goodness. Wow. I appreciate you coming up

697
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:06.760

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:12.960

00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.320

tell a whole lot of folks. I think you're nuts,

706
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.880
you know, but I thought I just thought I was

707
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:31.559
nuts until I saw it myself. Maybe you know. I

708
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:32.440
don't know what to think.

709
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:35.960
Now, But you're not nuts, man, You're just in a special,

710
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:39.559

Doing good? Feel free to share what you've come up

722
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:04.079
to share today.

723
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:06.239
I live in Canada.

724
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.639
I spent most of my time fishing and hunting, and

725
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:16.840
I've come across. My first experience, I was sixteen. I

726
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.880
was out on a date. I was near Blind River, Ontario, Ontario,

727
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:23.000
Northern Ontario.

728
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:24.840
And that was before was built up.

729
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.760
And me and my girlfriend we were parked, you know,

730
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.000
just eating some submarines, and then I got out to

731
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:40.039
google washing and come back in into the car. It

732
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:43.280
was pitch black, nothing around, couldn't see anything, and then

733
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.360
all of a sudden we heard this roar and it

734
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.559
was such a loud roar that it was vibrating my chest.

735
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.000
And you know those smaller cars, they used to have

736
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:56.519
a speaker in the front just by the window, the

737
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.800
older cars. It was vibrating that and I told her

738
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:03.000
off the radio was vibrating. She said, the radio is off,

739
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:05.519
and I said, we better get out of here. And

740
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.199
there was such a route in My chest was vibrating

741
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:14.079
from this alba roar. So that was my first experience.

742
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:16.599
I don't know what it was. I don't think it

743
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:18.280
was a bear. There's no way it could have been

744
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:21.960
a bear. I'm pretty sure it was a bigfoot. And

745
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.079
then I had to I researched that area and later

746
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:29.480
on found that there was settings around that area. My

747
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:36.800
second one was in the early late nineteen eighties. I

748
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:39.440
used to go hunting up I'm not going to tell

749
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:42.159
you where, but we used to go up hunting a

750
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:42.960
bunch of us.

751
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:44.880
Guys and we had a cabin.

752
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.519
Up there, and we come out in the morning. It

753
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:49.519
was just fresh snow on the ground, about two inches

754
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:52.519
of snow, and I seen.

755
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:56.079
These tracks, and these tracks crossed.

756
00:46:55.719 --> 00:47:01.639
The field, and I'm wondering, Holy geez, there's fifteen inches

757
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:04.760
long these tracks. I'm going Jesus, that's kind of weird.

758
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:10.440
So I look across the field for where these tracks were,

759
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:11.880
and something.

760
00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:13.199
Was watching me behind the trees.

761
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.719
I could see it behind the trees, and then when

762
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.559
I started this step forward, it took off just like

763
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:23.000
a bird would take off so fast. And then I

764
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:26.719
could hear it thumping on the ground, running and I

765
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:29.519
could hear it run run and thump, thump, dump dump

766
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.480
as it was running. So I went and I started

767
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:34.320
falling the tracks. I had a rifle with me, so

768
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.320
I wasn't scared or nothing. I didn't plan on shooting it,

769
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.920
that's for sure, but I was curious. So then I

770
00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:45.800
started seeing the tracks, and the tracks were like I'm

771
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.199
physically I was physically fit back then. I could, you know,

772
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.119
do just anything about the track or field. It was

773
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.760
making larger leaps than I could do. I tried to

774
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.760
recreate their leaps, but it was like a ten foot

775
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:02.000
leap from one foot to the next to the next one.

776
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:05.960
And then it got down to the end of to

777
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:10.599
a tree line and then there was footprints there.

778
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.159
But then it vanished. There was no there was a

779
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:17.280
creek there, but it was all branches were all cut

780
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:22.440
in and they were The tracks just vanished right there.

781
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:25.199
It was like snow on the ground, but I couldn't

782
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:27.440
see any tracks anywhere around. I went all the way

783
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.559
around and it was like it just vanished, and I'm going,

784
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:33.800
how could that be? You could see the tracks of

785
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.280
it where it was running, but then it came to

786
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.760
a spot and it just sort of vanished, which was

787
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.119
kind of weird, and you see in the tracks there's

788
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:45.000
no way it could have went anywhere. They couldn't climbed

789
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.199
the tree because there's no trees that were near it

790
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:49.079
because it was down a trail where it was running.

791
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:54.920
That was a weird one. Yeah, I couldn't And then

792
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.039
the next time same.

793
00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:01.199
Well, similar spot just about a mile further in the bush.

794
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.480
It was muddy. It was very muddy. So all of

795
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.960
a sudden I seen these tracks. And that was back

796
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:11.159
in the two thousands, and I forgot my camera at

797
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.960
the time to take pictures of deer if we got

798
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:14.519
any deer.

799
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:17.159
There was tracks in the.

800
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:22.880
Mud that went down about eight inches to a foot

801
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:25.760
and it was deep.

802
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:28.119
These it was walking in a certain way.

803
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:31.519
So the reasonable how I know how bigfoot walks is

804
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:35.119
they walk one foot in front of the other. They

805
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:38.639
don't walk like humans, they do not. They walk one

806
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:41.320
foot in front of the other. And what I seen

807
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.320
in the mud, and I walked beside the mud to

808
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:47.079
make sure there was no other tracks around that. I

809
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:50.480
only went in about two inches maybe two inches, so

810
00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:53.159
whatever this was was really heavy to go in at

811
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:58.440
least ten inches or more. I was astounded. I got

812
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:00.920
the Honty buddies and they all took a look at

813
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:04.000
it and they said, holy geez. Well, you know, but

814
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:06.920
a lot of us that we didn't bring cameras back then,

815
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:12.199
we just you know. That was another one. And then

816
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:18.119
the first exact sighting that was below Sudbury, Sudbury, Ontario

817
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:22.519
in Canada, and I was fishing on the lake, a

818
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:25.239
remote lake that's about a half an hour drive from

819
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:29.960
the main highway, and it was a hot day. It

820
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.199
was in September, and I was fishing and I looked

821
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.400
up and I seen this black thing, and this thing

822
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:40.519
is looking at me and it's all black, and I'm wondering,

823
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:44.360
that's weird. It's got to be it's got to be

824
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:48.679
like eighty five degrees fahrenheit. Why would somebody be wearing

825
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:51.480
a jacket or something that when it's this hot. It

826
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:56.000
was like extremely hot for September. And so I got

827
00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:58.159
the binos from the boat and I was looking and

828
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:00.360
all of a sudden I seen the face and the

829
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.559
body and the hair and everything, and it was like.

830
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:06.519
I was disappointed at the face. It was a juvenile.

831
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:07.960
I was about about six feet tall.

832
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:12.199
I was disappointed in the face that I'm thinking, you know,

833
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:14.159
like the face behind you it would look like No,

834
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:17.519
it didn't look like that. It had like you know

835
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:20.079
those BC totem poles that you see in at the

836
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:23.800
highest where they have the oval mouth, big oval mouth.

837
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:26.800
Well that's what it had. It had a big oval.

838
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:29.360
Mouth like that. I'm going, well, that's kind of weird.

839
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:31.840
You know, I had little furry hair on top of

840
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.559
its head and like like it did by the big

841
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:38.159
old mouth like those totem poles that I've seen. I'm

842
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:41.719
going I was expecting something like this, so it's behind you,

843
00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:46.119
but no, I was kind of weird. So I monitored

844
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.119
for about and I was about two hundred yards from

845
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:55.320
the creature with the binos, and I watched it until

846
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.239
it just walked away into the bush. I think it

847
00:51:57.320 --> 00:51:59.079
was heading down to the water get a drink because

848
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:04.920
it was very hot there. So those are my experiences.

849
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:09.880
So incredible. I want to comment on that last one.

850
00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:16.519
Literally earlier today and last night, I've been having this

851
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:21.880
internal thought where it's like, okay, so if you've got

852
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:27.480
all these carvings of the sasquatch faces with the lips

853
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:31.760
that are looked like they're whistling, why aren't witnesses saying

854
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:34.760
that they're seeing that. Yeah, And it was kind of

855
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.840
messing with me. And this is important because you're the

856
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:41.320
first person in five years that has told me that

857
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.679
what I saw looked exactly what's on those what's on

858
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:45.519
those totem poles.

859
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.599
Yeah, that's that's where it was huge.

860
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.400
Yeah, it kind of really blew me away. I was

861
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.719
kind of disappointed. But that big oval mouth, I was wondering,

862
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.199
and it wasn't that tall. It was about six feet

863
00:52:56.360 --> 00:53:00.159
It wasn't huge, but it was covered in fur. And

864
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:02.639
the only reason I figure was down there was get

865
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:05.000
a drink of water because it was very hot that day.

866
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:13.280
My goodness, what you saw were the so in the carvings,

867
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.320
the lips are usually pretty big, were they? Was the

868
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:17.719
mouth pretty big as well?

869
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:18.199
Or yeah?

870
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:20.559
The mouth was big, big oval And I was going,

871
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.880
this is weird, Like it's not like the one behind you.

872
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:26.760
It was like an oval mouth. And I'm going, well,

873
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:28.800
it can't be a mask. You can't be somebody putting

874
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.119
on something. And I'm going, who would do that?

875
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:31.199
That?

876
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:36.800
You know? Was being that hot? M hm right right.

877
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:39.159
And I was in the middle of nowhere, so basically

878
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.559
half an hour drive and there was nobody around, like

879
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:43.599
it's a remote lake.

880
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:48.679
It's fascinating stuff. Do you remember the shape of its

881
00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:49.199
head at all?

882
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:55.159
The head was was was kind of roundish but.

883
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:01.440
Okay, but I could tell juvenile. It wasn't that big,

884
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:04.440
but it was on the rocks. I wanted to go

885
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:07.800
explore to see the footprints, but it was on rocks

886
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:11.320
at the time when I seen it, and I didn't

887
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:13.280
see any footprints when I went over there to go

888
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:17.480
check it out after. But it was looking at me

889
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:19.320
as I was looking at you, because he must have

890
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.840
been astounded by me, because then I was astounded by

891
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:26.440
him because I never seen something like that with an

892
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:29.320
oval mouth, and I'm thinking, Wow, it doesn't look like

893
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.039
a real bigfoot like you see on the pictures that

894
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:34.960
you see on the internet.

895
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:41.599
Right well, I mean, I guess the question is what israel?

896
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:44.320
Is it all these pictures were seeing on the internet,

897
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:48.280
or is it what's been captured in things like totem

898
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:50.400
poles from forms past?

899
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:50.840
You know?

900
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:53.719
And it's something to think about and your story backs

901
00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:57.079
it up. So it's very cool. Thank you for coming

902
00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:05.880
up anytime. Thanks good stuff. Oh my goodness, that was incredible.

903
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:07.039
Hey Kent, how are you?

904
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:08.360
How are you doing?

905
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:12.519
Hey? Doing good? Feel free to share what you've come

906
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:13.119
up to share.

907
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:23.119
My first one, I was really, really, really young, so

908
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:27.480
I can't even substantiate if it was real.

909
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:31.920
Or not, but it was in a putney.

910
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:35.639
Or mom oh snap, really yeah.

911
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.400
And back in my day used to be able to

912
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:40.719
like stuff kids in the back of the station wagon.

913
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:42.880
And that's what we were doing when we were camping.

914
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:46.320
The adults were in the trailer, the teens were intense,

915
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:49.360
and the little ones were locked inside the back of

916
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:53.440
the station wagons in the backseat. I woke up early morning,

917
00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:56.920
like five four point thirty five, you know that blue

918
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.480
kind of dawn, dusky kind of time.

919
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:01.800
Yeah.

920
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:05.760
Yeah, And my head was towards the back of the

921
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:10.159
station wagon. And when I woke up, there was something

922
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:12.159
with a face looking down at me.

923
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:13.679
No way.

924
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:18.280
Yeah, I was probably seven slash maybe eight years old.

925
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:21.559
Oh my goodness. What year was this ken.

926
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.360
We're talking maybe eighty two?

927
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.199
Oh my goodness. Do you know where Northfield is in mass.

928
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:33.039
Northfield?

929
00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:37.679
Yeah, not exactly, do you know?

930
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:38.039
Uh?

931
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:39.800
So I drive Oh.

932
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:44.039
Okay, okay, So I grew up about half an hour

933
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.519
south of where you're talking. So I'm very familiar with

934
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:47.599
the area.

935
00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:50.960
Okay, so you're up like the Greenfield area.

936
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:55.159
Or yeah, it's like fifteen minutes north of Greenfield. Yep.

937
00:56:55.679 --> 00:56:56.000
Nice?

938
00:56:56.880 --> 00:56:59.599
Yeah, wow, do you remember?

939
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:00.159
Uh?

940
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:04.000
Go ahead, I'm just saying how it's it's a nice

941
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.719
wooded area. And I mean, people don't think the East

942
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:11.559
coast has a lot of them, but they do absolutely.

943
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:14.679
We have the Appalachian Trail.

944
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:18.800
Yeah, yeah, it's it's a great area. Do you remember

945
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:22.119
any details about what you saw in that face that

946
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:22.960
was so close to you?

947
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.800
Strangely enough, I could sketch it out for you.

948
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:29.320
But this is the strange thing.

949
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:34.400
Do you know that guy up in Canada who everybody

950
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:35.280
talked to me?

951
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:36.760
Yes, there you go.

952
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:38.880
Yeah, you know the one.

953
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:42.760
Big foot that's uh it has a very flat looking

954
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:45.440
face and it's like a Tinian color.

955
00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:50.599
Yes, I do exactly know what you're talking about.

956
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.119
That exact big poot is what I saw.

957
00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:55.039
Wow.

958
00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:59.760
So when I when I actually ever came across that

959
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:04.199
on the internet and I was like, oh my god,

960
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:08.000
that was it was identical.

961
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:16.039
My goodness. Yeah, wow, that's wild. I've never heard of

962
00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:20.599
any sightings by Putney or Bradborough or that whole area.

963
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:21.480
That is really cool.

964
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:24.760
Yeah.

965
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:27.000
Did anyone else in the car see it as well?

966
00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:28.159
No?

967
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:32.079
No, My cousin was with me and my other cousin was.

968
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:37.440
In the like the middle seat, and they just I

969
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:39.480
think I think my cousin Dave woke up when I

970
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:44.079
kind of like it's stream but I like really like jumped,

971
00:58:44.159 --> 00:58:45.880
like to like get away from the window.

972
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:50.280
Yeah. Oh my goodness.

973
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:59.199
Yeah, so so that and you were young, and you

974
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:02.519
were young, so that must have affected you pretty pretty wild.

975
00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:05.000
Yeah yeah, And.

976
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:09.599
I mean for for many many years until I had

977
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:13.639
like other encounters with I've never seen one again, but

978
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:16.639
there's been you know, the knocking and and because I'm

979
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:22.000
avid camper and hunter and stuff, so the other signs

980
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:26.039
are there. But that was I would call that like

981
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:27.400
they call it a class egg.

982
00:59:29.079 --> 00:59:37.360
Oh yeah, I mean absolutely yeah.

983
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:35.719
And I'd love to see it again.

984
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:39.239
But that's you know, as it's just like you want

985
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:40.400
to but then you don't want to.

986
00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:45.400
Sure, Yeah, where were you experiencing wood knocks?

987
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.719
That was when we camped up in a New Thane Vermond.

988
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:56.440
Okay, yep, yep, that's awesome.

989
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.960
That was actually my same cousin was there.

990
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:04.079
Again, we were much older now where this is like

991
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:08.119
when we're adults, and uh, neither one of us could

992
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:11.639
go to sleep in our tents because we we talked

993
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:13.199
about it the morning over coffee.

994
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:15.440
We thought it was like deer fighting in the woods.

995
01:00:18.079 --> 01:00:23.119
Oh my goodness. I'll tell you what I've only heard

996
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.320
from people and from Vermont two times in five years.

997
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:32.000
Oh wow, Yeah, it's very rare. It's extremely rare.

998
01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:39.639
And then the my third and final one so far

999
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:44.119
up in Vermont anyway, because because it seems like when

1000
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:49.480
you when they let you see them, or like when

1001
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.880
they let you see or acknowledge them, they kind of

1002
01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:57.440
mark you. So you're prone to have more fightings or

1003
01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:01.360
more experiences. So my last one in Vermont, we were

1004
01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:04.039
again camping and everybody had retired.

1005
01:01:04.119 --> 01:01:08.519
It was probably about two thirty am in now Pane and.

1006
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:11.280
My wife's best friend was on a blow mattress by

1007
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.800
the fire, and I was sitting on the picnic table

1008
01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:19.760
like like my butt on the top of the table

1009
01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:23.960
and like just watching the fire keeping it going, and uh,

1010
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:28.039
out of the woods there was like it was like

1011
01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:32.000
right upon us, and it was like three big like

1012
01:01:33.519 --> 01:01:36.920
exhale blows like like something kind of like what.

1013
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:37.559
A deer would do.

1014
01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:40.800
But like I said, I'm a hunter and I've been

1015
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:44.960
blown at by a dough before and it's not insane.

1016
01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:47.960
So I jumped down off the picnic table.

1017
01:01:48.119 --> 01:01:49.880
I grabbed her out of a dead sleep, and I

1018
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:53.039
yanked her up onto the picnic table with me, and

1019
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:56.000
she got to hear the three blows again with her

1020
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:58.480
own ears, and then.

1021
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:04.639
Thing left nothing. We couldn't hear nothing, move away. It

1022
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:05.360
was silent.

1023
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:09.840
It was like not like a bear or a moose

1024
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:13.199
circling camp. It was just that instance and it was

1025
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:13.960
done and over with.

1026
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:20.519
My goodness, that's that's intense. You know the area I

1027
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:25.199
do get stuff from is you know Glastonbury Mountain.

1028
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:27.960
Oh yeah, that's a hot spot, a triangle.

1029
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:31.880
Oh yeah, I've gotten, yeah, exactly, Bennington Triangle, I've gotten.

1030
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:38.440
I'm up to three different things, actually two different people

1031
01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:39.400
contacting me.

1032
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:39.719
Now.

1033
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:44.760
For Glastonbury, it's pretty wild, but that's just west of

1034
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:46.920
where you're talking about.

1035
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:48.679
Yeah kind of.

1036
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:51.360
But well, where my father in law's land was where

1037
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:53.960
we camped Newfane is It was a dead end road

1038
01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:57.119
with like four or five six properties and then there

1039
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.360
was this I guess you were kind of call like

1040
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:05.039
a outdoorsy camp or something. It was called the Manitoba

1041
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:06.679
Project or something.

1042
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:07.920
And I think it's still there.

1043
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:10.800
It's just like for people to get out in the

1044
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:16.519
woods and enjoy nature. We experienced like rock stacking. To

1045
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:18.519
wake up in the morning and there's four and five

1046
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:19.880
rocks on top of each other.

1047
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:21.639
It's like, what the heck.

1048
01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:27.360
Man, that's wild. Oh my goodness, can I'm so glad

1049
01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:31.599
you came up and shared. There's As I said, there's

1050
01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:34.599
not a lot of info about Vermont. This is good stuff.

1051
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:38.800
Oh what years we were the New Fane incidents.

1052
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:44.280
And I haven't written down at home. It was probably

1053
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:46.039
like ninety four, ninety three.

1054
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:50.199
Okay, that's probably up the one.

1055
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:53.239
Where I pulled my wife's best friend up on the

1056
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:53.880
picnic table.

1057
01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:56.119
That was actually pourth of July weekend.

1058
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:03.000
Okay, Yeah, that's wild man. Dude, thank you so much

1059
01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:05.360
for coming off. I appreciate you sharing.

1060
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.480
Good stuff all the time, so keep it coming.

1061
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:14.119
Appreciate that you got it right, dude, that's so cool.

1062
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:17.480
I love I love New England stuff because I don't

1063
01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:20.639
hear it a lot. Yeah, Metro, how's it going.

1064
01:04:21.519 --> 01:04:23.679
Sor right? So long story short.

1065
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:27.480
When I was a kid, I got in trouble and uh,

1066
01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:32.039
they put me in a boys like program. If you

1067
01:04:32.159 --> 01:04:34.360
live in Florida, it's on the north side of the

1068
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:38.280
Okachobe River out in the middle of nowhere. Seminal and

1069
01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:42.599
Mikasuki Indians like kind of ran it and you had

1070
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.480
to stay there. For three months, and at the end

1071
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:47.599
of those three months, they sent you out on something

1072
01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:51.039
called a solo. You ride blindfolded on the back of

1073
01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:54.400
a four wheeler out into the Okachobe Wilderness and you

1074
01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:57.760
have to survive for three days and three nights. So

1075
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:03.760
I'm on there on my second day and I start

1076
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:08.960
to smell like dead flesh, like like roadkill, kind of

1077
01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:11.519
like you know what, like decaying flesh, like an animal

1078
01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:12.360
that got ran over.

1079
01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:15.400
I start smelling at at night.

1080
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.639
And at the daytime I would get up and try

1081
01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:22.519
to look for the carcass or whatever that smell was,

1082
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:26.320
and I can never find nothing. So on the third

1083
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.480
night of my solo, I smelt that smell again, like

1084
01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:32.719
I don't know what time it was, but it was

1085
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:34.920
in the middle of the night. I had a little

1086
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:39.719
campfire going where I was camped out at, like I

1087
01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:44.519
said that smell, And where I camped at there was

1088
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:50.719
a canal, and I heard something step around my tent,

1089
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:58.599
kicked my fire like grunt because it burnt its foot

1090
01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:02.519
and ran off, jump in the canal, climbed up the

1091
01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:05.599
other side of the bank, and you can you can

1092
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:09.920
just hear it running through the I don't wouldn't say

1093
01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:13.320
swamp land, I guess like you would splashing it like

1094
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:15.880
it was. It wasn't like like a four footed animal.

1095
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:19.679
It sounded like a big human being, like running through

1096
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:20.960
swamp swamp land.

1097
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:26.960
And that's my story. Oh my goodness, that is really

1098
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:30.480
really intense. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for

1099
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:32.639
coming up man, Thank you for the support as well.

1100
01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:35.599
I really appreciate it. All right, I appreciate you guys.

1101
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:48.400
Thank you man. Oh my goodness, the hits keep on coming. Hey, justin,

1102
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:49.920
how's it going good?

1103
01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:50.559
Can you hear me?

1104
01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:54.199
Yes, I can hear you. Feel free to share what

1105
01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:56.000
you have come up to share tonight.

1106
01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:02.360
Okay, I'm from northern BC, Canada. My people have only

1107
01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:04.599
been contacted. The town I live in it's only fifty

1108
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.920
six years old. So we have some really old stories

1109
01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:11.119
that are people. I'm Heisler. We're people of the snow.

1110
01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:16.639
So I have a lot of stories, like knowledge that

1111
01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:20.360
husband passed down to me. So my grandmother had told

1112
01:07:20.360 --> 01:07:23.199
me about many different species the sasquatch, and you guys

1113
01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:26.239
were talking about the Oval mouth and those are basically

1114
01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:29.599
the juveniles out sasquatch. They change as they get bigger. Hey,

1115
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:34.199
So in our stories, we have the oval mouths as well,

1116
01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:39.719
and we also have red hair. We call it booklusts.

1117
01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:45.000
They're like wild men. Then there's also the wild men,

1118
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:49.039
like people will go overboard and when they get to

1119
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:51.800
the shoreline, they're supposed to hug a tree and that

1120
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:53.760
re grounds you to mother Earth, so you don't go,

1121
01:07:54.280 --> 01:07:57.679
you don't lose your mind, and that's how they get wild.

1122
01:07:59.039 --> 01:08:02.280
Some people yet wild in that manner. Then we have

1123
01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:06.039
a little tiny we call him quagile. They're like another

1124
01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:10.119
ape like creature that's probably about me height, and they're

1125
01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:14.920
like more like little spider monkeys with really sharp claws,

1126
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:18.119
and they're hairy. They're like they look like little monkeys.

1127
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:20.880
The story I'm going to tell you is when first

1128
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:24.119
contact happened to my people in the early eighteen hundreds.

1129
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:30.159
The Hudson Bay Trading Company was around, was around our

1130
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:33.760
area for starting to open up, and the Queen's guards

1131
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:38.239
were really after all the black bear for their hats,

1132
01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:44.439
so they gave our people our first rifles. We went out.

1133
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:47.119
There's just one guy. They were going goat hunting and

1134
01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:49.359
they went to this one part where I'm from, it's

1135
01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:52.600
called Camano, and they went up to the rock and

1136
01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:55.359
he took a left. The other hivesleves went up to

1137
01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:59.119
the right, and we used to put sticks down that way.

1138
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:01.399
If he went out and you got your catch, you

1139
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:03.600
would come back to your canoe and you'd lay your

1140
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.880
stick down saying you got out safely. The laugh two

1141
01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:09.399
had to stay and wait until each got out so

1142
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:12.920
they'd be able to notify if anybody got hurt. And

1143
01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:16.600
never came back to the checkpoints. So this man took

1144
01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:19.000
the left trail going up to the goat and he

1145
01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:22.039
got to the Salmonbury patch where he saw this with

1146
01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:25.800
black bear, and he took out his weapon and he

1147
01:09:25.960 --> 01:09:30.039
lined it up and he n alive the thing. As

1148
01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:32.119
he stood up, he was going to go get his catch.

1149
01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:37.159
Three big three big sapsquatch stood up and they looked

1150
01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:40.359
over at him, and he froze. He dropped his firearm.

1151
01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:43.760
He ended up urinating on his firearm. He was so scared,

1152
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:46.479
and he spoke in our language saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

1153
01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:49.640
I did not know I did not know you guys

1154
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:52.720
were buss. I thought you were a black bear, trying

1155
01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:58.800
to apologize in the a Weekula language. So those things

1156
01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:01.079
looked at him and there was show often. Keep in mind,

1157
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:03.439
the Hudson Bay Company had just came here in the

1158
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:07.720
eighteen hundreds, and these are probably the first first cracks

1159
01:10:07.720 --> 01:10:10.600
of the rifle that they've ever heard around the whole territory.

1160
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.640
So those things looked down, they looked at the man,

1161
01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:19.720
they looked back at the fallen, their fallen that squatch,

1162
01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:22.760
and my grandfather told me they grabbed him by the

1163
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:25.279
wrists from the ankles and they swung them kind of

1164
01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:31.680
like a swinging rope, and they lifted the sasquatch went

1165
01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:34.840
in there, and the body fell and hit the ground,

1166
01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:38.279
and they looked at the man again, and he was scared.

1167
01:10:38.319 --> 01:10:41.680
He's still talking in our language. And they went and

1168
01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:44.840
did that three times, grabbed him by the ankles and

1169
01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:47.199
the wrists, and they flung him up in the air,

1170
01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:49.800
and on the third time they looked at the man.

1171
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:53.760
I'm keeping his name out of the story because you're

1172
01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:58.680
going to share it after. But in the Kitler where

1173
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:00.720
I'm from, it's like a lot of bed rock that

1174
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:02.960
comes straight out of the biggest fjords in the world,

1175
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:05.800
so it's like a lot of vertical rocks, and we

1176
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:08.560
had trained mountain climbers that would actually go out and

1177
01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:11.560
go hunting and stuff like that. So he was an

1178
01:11:11.560 --> 01:11:14.239
experienced goat hunter, meaning he was able to climb the

1179
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:17.319
highest rocks that there were. Well, there's this one rock

1180
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:20.119
that was so ovoid shaped that nobody could actually get

1181
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:23.720
leverage on and climb. It was like a big oval boulder.

1182
01:11:23.359 --> 01:11:23.880
That was there.

1183
01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:27.479
Billy Hall or yeah, well that was his name, Billy Hall.

1184
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:30.840
He went running all the way down the trail. These

1185
01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:34.399
things were chasing them from behind. Their arms lifted up

1186
01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:36.920
like spider monkeys, and they went side to side and

1187
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:40.239
they were stepping, and he went running to that thing.

1188
01:11:40.359 --> 01:11:44.279
He blacked out as adrenaline was going so so much

1189
01:11:44.399 --> 01:11:46.800
that he when he came to he was on top

1190
01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:48.800
of that rock that no one was able to climb,

1191
01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:52.039
and those arms were dangling just at the top of

1192
01:11:52.039 --> 01:11:55.039
that rock. And he turned around and where he could

1193
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.560
slide off the rock and continue to run, that's where

1194
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:00.239
his canoe was. So he took a chance, and he

1195
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.640
slid down the rock and he went running all the

1196
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:04.600
way down the trail and he got onto the back

1197
01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:06.880
end of his canoe. And these are big cedar canoes

1198
01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:10.199
that they used to go so launching match like launching

1199
01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:13.000
a watern canoe. He grabbed that back into the canoe

1200
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:14.800
and he went running out into the water and he

1201
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.680
hopped in and started taking his canoe paddle and paddling.

1202
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:21.119
So he heard splashes going behind him, and he started

1203
01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:24.119
paddling as fast as he could. The adrenaline hit him really,

1204
01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:26.760
really good. He started paddling really hard, and he got

1205
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:29.159
out deep enough because it's the biggest fjord, so it

1206
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:32.279
gets really deep. He was confident enough to turn around,

1207
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:34.960
and those things went into the water up to their

1208
01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:38.439
chest and their arms round like spider monkeys still, and

1209
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:42.319
they were making whooping noises at it. When he came

1210
01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:47.199
back to the village, he told the story. There's one

1211
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:49.079
part I forgot out. While he was on top of

1212
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:51.640
that rock, he looked up to where that other fallen

1213
01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:55.439
taskquatch was, and behind this tree he peeked out this big,

1214
01:12:55.520 --> 01:13:00.560
giant pure white sasquatch, like a huge one. He said,

1215
01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:02.800
was like three times as big as those other ones.

1216
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.279
So my grandmother also said there's a different species, like

1217
01:13:08.319 --> 01:13:11.560
there's ones that live on alpine that no human could

1218
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:14.479
live up there because there's not enough oxygen, but these

1219
01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:18.760
grade apes can live up there, and that's what they

1220
01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:23.479
think that these species here were. So when he got home,

1221
01:13:23.560 --> 01:13:26.039
he told the village what had happened. And he was

1222
01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:28.640
a carver, a master carver. So he carved out the

1223
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:30.880
mask and it had the lips that you guys are

1224
01:13:30.880 --> 01:13:33.279
talking about on the totem poles, like, that's a region

1225
01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:36.880
I'm from, is inland from high to Guay. I guess

1226
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:41.159
if you guys know where that is. So he had

1227
01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:44.720
those really big lips. Then he paddled out the next

1228
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:47.279
day and he went to the rock and he carved

1229
01:13:47.279 --> 01:13:50.840
the three faces of those juveniles that were there. And

1230
01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:53.279
though in the rock today you could see those big

1231
01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:55.840
lips that are still there, the circle ones. When he

1232
01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:59.760
went back home, he went into a coma and back

1233
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:03.039
then going into a coma quite different than today with

1234
01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:04.720
life support and stuff.

1235
01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:06.600
But we have.

1236
01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:10.439
Bowl kelp he cut off. They cut off the top

1237
01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:12.479
of a bowl kelp. In the bottom it's like a

1238
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:14.920
cow's whip, but it's hollow, so they cut that off.

1239
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:18.039
They were able to insert that down into his stomach

1240
01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:20.720
and they're kept on feeding them bone broth. He was

1241
01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:23.399
in the coma for an entire year because he was

1242
01:14:23.439 --> 01:14:25.880
such a shock of what he just saw on what

1243
01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:29.840
had just happened. And these things sometimes they they they're mythical.

1244
01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.880
I'm not too sure if people have mentioned portals and

1245
01:14:33.239 --> 01:14:37.680
zero point energy, those types of things. Yet we have

1246
01:14:37.800 --> 01:14:41.600
similar stories to those types of portals, those types of beings,

1247
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:44.479
Like there's many different types of these species of these

1248
01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:50.880
wild wild things. Say so, he woke up a year

1249
01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:54.880
after and when he got its strength back, he went

1250
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:58.720
back out into the community and he was actually when

1251
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:02.279
he shook people's hands. We have a word, it's called

1252
01:15:02.319 --> 01:15:04.720
the dootye week that means to be able to see

1253
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:10.399
many different things that that the waking world can't right,

1254
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.840
So it's like special types of psychic abilities. He would

1255
01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:17.760
shake people's hands and he would like picture that when

1256
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:20.680
they passed away, how long they would live. He would

1257
01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:29.439
be able to When he got really old, he was

1258
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:33.239
in his bed, they all gathered around and he made

1259
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:37.399
one last prediction. He said, you see that mountain over there,

1260
01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:40.159
One day there's going to be this big giant worm.

1261
01:15:40.199 --> 01:15:42.479
It's going to eat its way down through the mountain.

1262
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:46.319
And they thought he was losing his mind at that time,

1263
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:49.039
because how could this big giant worm eat its way

1264
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:53.159
through bedrock, like right through the mountain. Well, that's where

1265
01:15:53.159 --> 01:15:57.760
they built a dam, and his prediction came through. Years

1266
01:15:57.880 --> 01:16:01.199
years later, they had this big giant you know those

1267
01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:06.039
tunnel building machines they bore through. Yeah, that's what that's

1268
01:16:06.079 --> 01:16:12.039
what they used. And he passed away, and yeah, his

1269
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.000
predictions came true. So they do have an element of

1270
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:20.640
magic as well. There's other stories older that they used

1271
01:16:20.680 --> 01:16:22.439
to live with us, and we used to live with

1272
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:27.800
all of these in harmony, like in my territory. One

1273
01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:32.520
one Sasquatch. I guess you'd have to call it a cub.

1274
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:36.640
At that point, the child was adopted by a family.

1275
01:16:36.760 --> 01:16:39.960
But the thing was so wild and I loved it

1276
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:42.520
the mother that adopted it, but it was really violent

1277
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:45.319
to other people in the village. So she isolated in

1278
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:48.520
this cove around Bishop Bay. It's a hot springs around here,

1279
01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:53.119
and she raised the child there that looked like hers.

1280
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:59.159
So, oh my goodness, just so I get a feel

1281
01:16:59.239 --> 01:17:02.479
for the area. So this is is this right underneath

1282
01:17:02.520 --> 01:17:04.720
where the tip of southeast Alaska is.

1283
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:08.479
Yeah, kid them at BC And then if you go out,

1284
01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:11.159
got it. What I would suggest for you to do

1285
01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:13.720
is something like Google Maps and you'd be able to

1286
01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:17.239
pin everybody's stories and like translate them on there. I've

1287
01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:22.039
done that for Oh I have it. Yeah, so yeah yeah,

1288
01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:25.960
out out there, they're like, we have stories. We have

1289
01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:28.479
trapper cabins that are still available for people to go

1290
01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:31.479
out trapping, and they go into the cabins, but all

1291
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:34.720
these rocks get bashed. So I run culture camps and

1292
01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:37.439
I reintroduced our culture to our youth. So we were

1293
01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:39.960
out at Weewani Hot Springs for a couple of weeks

1294
01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:43.439
and we have little clinkers to sing our ancestral songs

1295
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:46.479
or Devil's club sticks, and we hit them together kind

1296
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:48.520
of like and use our drums at the same time

1297
01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:51.520
we stopped. We were all of us were out in

1298
01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:58.880
probably sixteen youth and about five camp counselors. Right when

1299
01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:01.159
we stopped drumming and hit it, we heard tree knocking

1300
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:02.960
and stuff, and the kids were looking at me and

1301
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:05.079
they knew what it was because we talked about the

1302
01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.840
sasquats already. We let them know. The busses around and

1303
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:10.680
they were like, well, what are they doing, Why are

1304
01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:13.600
they hitting the trees? And I said, well, we're hitting

1305
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:16.199
our sticks, I said, I probably called them in we're

1306
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:19.600
the only sound from here to like one hundred miles

1307
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:22.079
that way, Like we were way out in an isolated hag.

1308
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:26.039
So that night all the kids were creeped out. We

1309
01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.079
stayed up a bit late and we let the fire

1310
01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:30.600
burn out. They went into their camps. I had the

1311
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:34.000
trappers cabin, I do not even joke, and we put

1312
01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:36.199
the electric fence and stuff on. But I had this

1313
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:39.560
little overhanging cliff on the left side of mine that

1314
01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:43.399
the electric fence went under that cliff. The height of

1315
01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:45.560
that cliff, it was not a big cliff, it was

1316
01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:49.840
only like seven feet high, but right on my trappers cabin,

1317
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:54.399
I swear I felt two feet land just outside the wall,

1318
01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:57.039
and I was so creeped out. The window was there,

1319
01:18:57.560 --> 01:18:59.640
and I went and put a towel over the window,

1320
01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:03.880
because in our stories they sometimes peek in and they

1321
01:19:03.920 --> 01:19:06.039
put their faces right up to the window and they

1322
01:19:06.079 --> 01:19:08.239
peek in. And I was not ready to see that.

1323
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:12.199
So the next morning, where we had our canoes and

1324
01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:14.960
the tide was coming up rapidly, we went out to

1325
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:17.800
where the canoes where we followed these feetprints straight out

1326
01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:21.079
there and right where this mud spot was, there's probably

1327
01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:24.600
like a fourteen to sixteen inch footprint, and as the

1328
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:27.199
tide was coming in, we did get a picture of

1329
01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:29.520
it too, my sister. I'd have to ask her for it,

1330
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:32.439
but you could see the water pooling into it, and

1331
01:19:32.479 --> 01:19:37.960
then when the tide went out, they were all gone.

1332
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:41.319
Wow, oh my goodness, this is some really incredible stuff.

1333
01:19:41.319 --> 01:19:44.600
And thank you for sharing stories that are so special

1334
01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:49.159
to your culture. I mean it's just wild, absolutely wild stuff.

1335
01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:52.319
Different ones shape shifting, all different types of shape shifters,

1336
01:19:52.399 --> 01:19:57.119
like Otterman. They shape shift into these big human beings.

1337
01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:00.520
The hell a bit shape shifter that g lifted us

1338
01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:03.039
our hell of bit hooks. We have stories of cave

1339
01:20:03.079 --> 01:20:05.399
bears that we fought off that go back to about

1340
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:06.600
forty thousand years ago.

1341
01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:10.960
No, what, Oh my goodness, dude, can you send me

1342
01:20:11.399 --> 01:20:16.039
an email? I would love to have contact with you

1343
01:20:16.159 --> 01:20:19.239
outside of this platform, so maybe we could have another

1344
01:20:19.439 --> 01:20:25.199
conversation someday. My email is big for society at gmail

1345
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:35.920
dot com. Okay, wow, that's cave bear stories. That's really cool.

1346
01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:43.920
So the one thing I forgot to say is what

1347
01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:48.920
those humans that go overboard and they turn wild, so

1348
01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:52.720
they went out on canoes. They actually mourned that these

1349
01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:56.199
people they found their canoes top sided, like flipped over

1350
01:20:56.319 --> 01:20:59.199
in rough weather. So they assumed that they passed on,

1351
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.159
so they would or in their death, but their wives

1352
01:21:02.279 --> 01:21:05.600
would always And there's three different stories that I could

1353
01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:08.680
talk about, but the one actually where they brought the

1354
01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:10.680
person back to like be a human.

1355
01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:11.920
Uh.

1356
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:15.600
They the this creature would go up and peek in

1357
01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:19.119
and his wife's wife's window, and she would look over

1358
01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:22.079
and see this dark, furry face, like this thing was

1359
01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:25.680
just like hideous. She would scream. This is before phones

1360
01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:30.560
or anything like that. She called her brothers. They had

1361
01:21:30.840 --> 01:21:33.319
they had modern rifles at that time. This is still

1362
01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:37.520
the first introduction of those things. They chased it off,

1363
01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:40.520
but it kept coming back every few nights. So what

1364
01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:43.039
they did, the old lady told them, they think it's

1365
01:21:43.079 --> 01:21:46.039
that person's husband. They're they're coming back to a peek

1366
01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:51.279
at his wife. They're in love. And what would happened.

1367
01:21:50.760 --> 01:21:53.880
They dug a big trap in front of the window,

1368
01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:55.880
a bowl down, and they put a whole bunch of

1369
01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:58.119
rocks in there, and then they filled it up with

1370
01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:01.960
water and then they they cover covered it with sticks

1371
01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:02.479
and stuff.

1372
01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:03.239
So when this.

1373
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:06.840
Went went up to the window, they heard it crash

1374
01:22:06.960 --> 01:22:09.159
down in there, and then the breed came out and

1375
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:14.119
they have we have a route. It's a really powerful

1376
01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:19.199
medicine for our people. And they held him down. They

1377
01:22:19.279 --> 01:22:21.960
rubbed him with this root and he started talking English

1378
01:22:22.039 --> 01:22:24.079
again and he was like, keep going, keep going, and

1379
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:27.520
they're dunking them under the water, bathing them with its root.

1380
01:22:27.560 --> 01:22:29.359
It's like a spirit bath that we would have to

1381
01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:33.760
pull our people back into like human consciousness. He had

1382
01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:36.920
stories of actually going over two to three mountains in

1383
01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:39.279
one day like it was nothing. But now that he's

1384
01:22:39.319 --> 01:22:42.680
back to being a human, he couldn't even fathom going

1385
01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:43.960
over one mountain again.

1386
01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:48.359
So interesting goods.

1387
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:50.920
There was a cannery out here too, and I worked

1388
01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:54.880
in archives for our community, and that happened to a

1389
01:22:54.960 --> 01:22:58.920
Japanese fisherman and his brother heard about it in Japan

1390
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:02.640
that his brother fell overboard and they saw this wild

1391
01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:04.840
person coming out of the water walking up and they

1392
01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:09.600
look like sasquatch too, and in their ancestry they have

1393
01:23:09.720 --> 01:23:12.239
the same story that the hinds of people have about

1394
01:23:12.239 --> 01:23:15.239
them going wild. So the guy came over from Japan

1395
01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.920
and he said, that's my brother. I want you guys

1396
01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:21.079
to when they come up, pull out your rifle, and

1397
01:23:21.159 --> 01:23:25.199
you know, get them. So when he came out next time,

1398
01:23:25.279 --> 01:23:27.399
that's what they did. And he said, now come watch this.

1399
01:23:27.479 --> 01:23:30.239
I'm going to pull back his lips and you'll see

1400
01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:33.039
that gold tooth that he has. And that's how he

1401
01:23:33.119 --> 01:23:35.479
knew that that was his brother. And we have this

1402
01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:40.239
in our archives documented still so crossed by the Pacific,

1403
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:44.520
these two background and clusteres. So now you go through

1404
01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:48.359
the different locations that you're talking about and imagine all

1405
01:23:48.399 --> 01:23:51.760
the different species. So let's talk about the black bear.

1406
01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:56.560
In our territory. We have three different species of black bear,

1407
01:23:56.640 --> 01:23:58.960
and people think that there's just one, but if you

1408
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:02.279
go across the whole all Americas, there's many different types

1409
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:04.840
of subspecies of different animals.

1410
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:05.800
Right.

1411
01:24:07.399 --> 01:24:09.359
I think a lot of people don't think they see

1412
01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:13.560
the dog man. I heard that we're talking about it

1413
01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:20.479
being a temp an orangutang type of bigfoot, and since

1414
01:24:20.520 --> 01:24:23.960
the orangutang's faces look like that, you would naturally just

1415
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:26.720
think it was a werewolf or something, so associating it

1416
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:30.840
with the dog. But those ones are like flesh eaters, hey,

1417
01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:33.640
So you'd find those ones around cave systems and stuff

1418
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:37.319
like that, you.

1419
01:24:37.319 --> 01:24:43.079
Had mentioned that there's stories in your culture about portal usage.

1420
01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:47.399
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot to what ley liens are

1421
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:51.600
in modern day research is basically animals will go over

1422
01:24:51.640 --> 01:24:55.239
and they're a visible energy drid that travels the world.

1423
01:24:55.279 --> 01:25:00.680
And this is how different animals migrate. Well whoa, whoa

1424
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:07.479
what when too lay lines over across each other? That

1425
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:10.680
creates zero point energy in physics, this is actually like

1426
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:13.760
proven like that's where you would find zero point energy.

1427
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:16.560
So those are places where they're able to come in

1428
01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:21.840
and out of the different spectrum I get. So we

1429
01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:24.880
have one story of the Kitlope, like we have glacial.

1430
01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:26.439
Water where we are, you know, be blue.

1431
01:25:26.319 --> 01:25:29.119
And an alligator popping out of one of these portals

1432
01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:33.119
and our people not recognizing it until modern time. The

1433
01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:36.600
pictures get passed down to whatever creature it was. We

1434
01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:39.760
even have like shape shifting ravens that were around here

1435
01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:45.520
that our land, our ancestry is so rich in these

1436
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:48.199
types of stories, like I can go on for the

1437
01:25:48.239 --> 01:25:49.319
majority of the night.

1438
01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:53.479
That it's incredible the amount of knowledge that you have

1439
01:25:53.680 --> 01:25:57.680
is so so cool, and like this the wild thing

1440
01:25:57.760 --> 01:25:59.960
is like this is not anything that you can read

1441
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:01.399
in a book. I guarantee it.

1442
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:06.000
Yeah, I'm really lucky. I was raised my grandfather's so

1443
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:10.720
my when contact happened here, my grand my mom's appendix

1444
01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:14.520
burst when she was a baby, and these helicopters came

1445
01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:18.079
in because they had to boat across to the nearest town.

1446
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:21.720
These helicopters came in and my great great great great

1447
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:24.479
grandmother pulled out her cane and was trying to fight

1448
01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:27.960
off this giant dragonfly that was coming.

1449
01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:31.560
Oh my goodness, that's awesome.

1450
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:36.399
Yeah, so yeah, we did, we we weren't. We're probably

1451
01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:40.439
the last three nations contacted throughout all of BC just

1452
01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:43.279
because of our location. So we still have a lot

1453
01:26:43.319 --> 01:26:45.319
of these types of stories in this area.

1454
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:52.079
That's incredible. What year was contact for you guys, about the.

1455
01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:54.119
Early eighteen hundred so probably.

1456
01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:56.119
Okay, right yeah, yeah, right.

1457
01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:59.319
So you could imagine how much we still have within

1458
01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:04.880
within And people think that, you know, VC is still

1459
01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:08.039
still really young, even Canada's young. Canada is only three

1460
01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:13.880
hundred years old. They say, sure, sure, absolutely elapsed all

1461
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:18.960
of those they there's even we have the quawk quawky walk.

1462
01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:23.319
They call it the Donua and she's another one with

1463
01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:28.920
big lips and it's a cannibal lady, the cedar basket lady. Yeah, Wemala.

1464
01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:32.680
So in my research between surrounding nations, we all have

1465
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:38.720
this entity and a lot of people actually think that

1466
01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:43.119
that's the mother of lots of sasquatch. And she would

1467
01:27:43.119 --> 01:27:46.439
come around, but she has really poor eyesight and she

1468
01:27:46.520 --> 01:27:50.880
would through tree sap like a gum and it would

1469
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.319
always she would smack her lips when and that would

1470
01:27:55.359 --> 01:27:57.640
lure the children around where they would go play in

1471
01:27:57.680 --> 01:28:00.439
the summer in the water. She had this big caine

1472
01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:02.319
because she was an old lady, and she would have

1473
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:04.880
the kids went to investigate what it was. She would

1474
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:07.800
grab her cane, scoop them in, grab them with their

1475
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:10.279
big hands, put them over her head and right into

1476
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:12.880
the cedar backpack and then she would walk home. And

1477
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:18.840
apparently that was her diet. But many different one of

1478
01:28:18.840 --> 01:28:22.239
our nations around, like my neighboring nations, they have the

1479
01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:26.159
same story in their language. So my people can't talk

1480
01:28:26.199 --> 01:28:29.760
to my neighbors. Our dialect is different and we were

1481
01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:32.520
all broken up through at BC, but we all have

1482
01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:37.960
these stories like Sasquatch actually comes from the Cootneys area

1483
01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:44.119
in Lillowette and it's the squatch and that's where coming from.

1484
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:48.199
My goodness, oh, my goodness, this is this is one

1485
01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:53.079
of the coolest conversations I've I've had on this platform.

1486
01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:55.960
Thank you so much, Dustin for coming up and for

1487
01:28:56.079 --> 01:28:58.000
chatting for a while. I appreciate it.

1488
01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:02.039
Yeah, for sure, I'll let let other people talk and

1489
01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:04.319
I'll send you an email tomorrow. I wrote that.

1490
01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:08.439
Okay, thank you so much. We'll talk later. Thank you, Dustin.

1491
01:29:13.319 --> 01:29:13.520
Man.

1492
01:29:13.560 --> 01:29:31.000
That was really cool. That was extremely cool. Wow, hey, Johnny,

1493
01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:31.399
how are.

1494
01:29:31.319 --> 01:29:33.840
You oh very blessed today?

1495
01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:37.720
Yes, Pennsylvania, it definitely counts. I feel free to share

1496
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:39.399
what you've experienced.

1497
01:29:40.720 --> 01:29:44.600
So back in twenty twenty, me and my son went

1498
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:50.079
hunting on private property and we were up kicking some

1499
01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:53.359
deer out from my brother who was down below us.

1500
01:29:54.039 --> 01:29:56.439
And we got to the top of this hill and

1501
01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:00.680
as we were getting up there, we were just brushing

1502
01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:03.720
through the jaggers and we got pretty thick into it

1503
01:30:04.760 --> 01:30:09.319
and my son came across this hut. That's all I

1504
01:30:09.359 --> 01:30:12.239
can say is it's a hut. This thing had to

1505
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:17.520
be gosh, at least fourteen foot high and almost twenty

1506
01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:18.159
foot a round.

1507
01:30:18.199 --> 01:30:19.039
It was huge.

1508
01:30:20.359 --> 01:30:22.720
My son looked at and he says, he Dad, He says,

1509
01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:27.199
it really smells over here. I was like, well, you know,

1510
01:30:27.560 --> 01:30:30.960
at the time, I had a pretty bad nasal thing

1511
01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:35.119
going on, and I said, I can't smell nothing. So

1512
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:39.560
the sun. He was over there looking all around that hut,

1513
01:30:39.960 --> 01:30:43.239
and then next thing you know, he got down into

1514
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:46.600
the valley. He says, holy smokes, Dad. He said, there's

1515
01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:49.720
a big hole in the bottom of this hut. He says,

1516
01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:53.560
it's too high. I can't crawl into it. I said,

1517
01:30:54.159 --> 01:30:56.439
I don't know what's down there. And I said, you

1518
01:30:56.479 --> 01:30:58.479
said it smells bad. I said, the best thing to

1519
01:30:58.520 --> 01:31:01.119
do is just come on like up here with me.

1520
01:31:02.439 --> 01:31:04.680
So he'd come back up on top of the hill.

1521
01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:08.880
And at the time I was still smoking cigarettes, and

1522
01:31:08.920 --> 01:31:11.279
I said, let's just have a cigarette and think about

1523
01:31:11.279 --> 01:31:15.319
it as we're sitting in the field. It went down

1524
01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:18.359
into that valley, the hut was on our left hand side,

1525
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:20.680
and then come up onto a big valley on the

1526
01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:24.720
other side, a big hill. Well, my son looked over

1527
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:30.600
and he seen this big black I thought it was

1528
01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:33.399
a bear. I really thought it was a bear. But

1529
01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:36.279
you know, we're in Pennsylvania and we're we're hunting at

1530
01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:40.960
there was no sighting a bear. He said, Dad, he says,

1531
01:31:41.239 --> 01:31:43.560
what is that? I said, I don't know. I said,

1532
01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:46.319
you take my gun, which had a scope on it.

1533
01:31:46.600 --> 01:31:50.279
I says, I got a pair of binoculars in my

1534
01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:55.000
hunting outfit. I said, let me dig that out. I said, meanwhile,

1535
01:31:55.159 --> 01:31:57.159
keep that scope on him so this way we can

1536
01:31:57.279 --> 01:32:01.520
keep an eye on it. So he's sitting there pointing

1537
01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:03.520
the scope at it, and I'm trying to look for

1538
01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:06.880
my binoculars through all these dog on pockets I had

1539
01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:10.199
because yeah, I had thermal wand to wear a thermal shirt,

1540
01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:14.600
thermal everything else. And finally I went to go I

1541
01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:18.319
found the binoculars. He turned, looked at me, took the

1542
01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:22.359
scope off of it, and he said, Pat, Joe, you know, Dad,

1543
01:32:22.399 --> 01:32:25.640
did you find them their binoculars? I said yeah. We

1544
01:32:25.800 --> 01:32:29.000
both looked, and this black thing jumped.

1545
01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:29.520
Over the hill.

1546
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:33.920
I said, well, I said, I don't know what that was.

1547
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:37.760
He said, but Dad, he says, it was quick, it moved.

1548
01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:42.960
I said, it was big. So the rest of that

1549
01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:46.800
day we didn't see no deer at all. And we

1550
01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:50.039
were coming down off of the hill. And as we're

1551
01:32:50.079 --> 01:32:53.479
coming down off of the hill, we sit down for

1552
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:56.000
a second and smoking a cigarette and he said, Dad,

1553
01:32:56.119 --> 01:33:01.439
he says, that smells back and I, well, I didn't

1554
01:33:01.439 --> 01:33:05.920
see nothing. I didn't hear anything. Keep walking back down

1555
01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:09.640
the quad trail. Next thing you know, a rock flies

1556
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:13.159
over my head and landed on the path in front

1557
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.920
of me. I said, I said, what the hell did

1558
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:18.319
you throw a rock at me for? He said, Dad,

1559
01:33:18.359 --> 01:33:20.840
that wasn't me. He said, man, I don't know where

1560
01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:27.119
that come from. And then we heard a grunt and

1561
01:33:27.359 --> 01:33:32.520
I mean, I've heard deer grunt. This was nothing like that.

1562
01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:38.520
It was really odd, kind of scared me. So I said,

1563
01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:41.920
let's just sit down, relax a minute. And we heard

1564
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:44.720
something over on our right hand side, and it just

1565
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:48.840
it sounded like somebody dropped a tree into the brush.

1566
01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:52.800
And we waited, we waited. We didn't hear nothing, seen nothing.

1567
01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:55.720
My brother jumps on the radio and says, hey, where

1568
01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:59.000
you guys at, Come on down. And when me and

1569
01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:03.199
my son stood up, this thing took off up over

1570
01:34:03.199 --> 01:34:05.560
the top of the hill. We couldn't see it, but

1571
01:34:05.600 --> 01:34:08.640
we had heard it, and my brother was like two

1572
01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:11.600
hundred yards away. Bought him in the hill and he

1573
01:34:11.640 --> 01:34:15.039
says what And the world was at I said, I

1574
01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:17.840
don't know. I said, I couldn't hear it or I

1575
01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:20.840
couldn't see it, And my son says, I couldn't see

1576
01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:25.319
it either, and uh, that was two hundred yards away.

1577
01:34:25.359 --> 01:34:28.960
He heard that, so we didn't know what it was.

1578
01:34:30.399 --> 01:34:34.399
Next year we come hunting back there. That land is marked.

1579
01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:40.560
It's all private property. Now, oh wow, yeah, So we

1580
01:34:40.600 --> 01:34:45.399
went two valleys over where we had another private spot.

1581
01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:49.239
Then we went to we're down there and there's all

1582
01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:53.439
these trees pushed across all the quad trails. I made

1583
01:34:53.560 --> 01:34:58.159
big trees. We couldn't figure that one out. And then

1584
01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:01.239
me and my son we took a long walk out

1585
01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:04.319
on this ridge and we started walking the ridge back

1586
01:35:05.880 --> 01:35:11.000
and halfway back there's a shooting range that's like five

1587
01:35:11.079 --> 01:35:14.399
hundred yards away from us, and they're still firing bullets

1588
01:35:14.399 --> 01:35:19.680
and everything else. And as we're walking back, we clearly heard.

1589
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:23.640
And what the hell was that?

1590
01:35:24.159 --> 01:35:27.279
He said. Daddy says, that was a whistle and we're

1591
01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:30.920
walking back and it did again. It whistled. I mean,

1592
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:34.880
there's no orange anywhere around us. We couldn't find a

1593
01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:40.079
hunter nowhere around us. And then the rest of that

1594
01:35:40.159 --> 01:35:45.479
day things were being thrown at us. We couldn't figure

1595
01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:48.479
it out, so we just marked it down as another

1596
01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:51.479
weird experience for that year. That was two thousand and

1597
01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:57.079
twenty one and two thousand and three. We were hunting

1598
01:35:57.079 --> 01:36:01.960
on another hillside and there was stack rocks up on

1599
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:04.600
top of this hill. I was like, who in your

1600
01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:08.079
right mind could have gone climbing to the top of

1601
01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:13.199
this mountain and stack rocks and it was just the

1602
01:36:13.239 --> 01:36:17.279
weirdest thing. We didn't get to see that day, and

1603
01:36:18.119 --> 01:36:22.279
that's when we heard another grunt and I said, yeah,

1604
01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:30.119
we're done, so we left when we said, oh my gosh,

1605
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:34.159
there was There was like sixty experiences we had, So

1606
01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:39.920
that was twenty twenty one, and then twenty twenty two

1607
01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:45.640
we didn't go nowhere, and it was two thousand and four.

1608
01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:50.680
I think, me, yeah, me and you. We were driving

1609
01:36:50.800 --> 01:36:55.319
up the road. We were spotting for deer and we

1610
01:36:55.319 --> 01:36:58.560
were coming down this this uh haulla in Pennsylvania, it's

1611
01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:03.159
called Ahalla, and we were spotting deer and the wife's

1612
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:05.560
on the right hand side. I'm on the left hand side.

1613
01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:08.399
There's a real steep hill on the left hand side,

1614
01:37:09.000 --> 01:37:11.960
and as we're going down the road, she spotss deer

1615
01:37:12.039 --> 01:37:14.880
and the'se deer. They're not looking at the light. They're

1616
01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:18.239
looking up, you know. And she says, she said, what

1617
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:20.199
are they looking at? I said, I don't know. Give

1618
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:21.720
me the light and I looked at her on the

1619
01:37:21.760 --> 01:37:26.439
other side. Dude, I'm telling you what. It was like

1620
01:37:26.720 --> 01:37:31.479
seven foot high and it had red eyes. And I said, says,

1621
01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:35.079
everybody else see this. My son looked over and my

1622
01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:38.359
wife looked over, and they said, well, what has red eyes?

1623
01:37:41.079 --> 01:37:44.880
I said, I says, I think how has red eyes?

1624
01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:47.920
But they're not like seven inches apart.

1625
01:37:49.279 --> 01:37:50.800
Yeah, right, exactly.

1626
01:37:52.000 --> 01:37:52.279
Weird.

1627
01:37:52.720 --> 01:37:54.920
So we went down the road and turned around and

1628
01:37:54.920 --> 01:37:58.800
we come back and we're like driving super super slow,

1629
01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:02.399
and by and them beer were gone. And we looked

1630
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:05.680
back up on the hill and we're waiting and we're looking.

1631
01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:09.279
Next thing, I know, pow, a rock hits the back

1632
01:38:09.319 --> 01:38:10.319
of the car.

1633
01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:12.199
I say, what the.

1634
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:14.479
Heck was that? My wife says, I don't know, but

1635
01:38:14.520 --> 01:38:17.279
he hit the back of the car. Drove up just

1636
01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:21.479
a little bit more. Pow, another rock hit the door,

1637
01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:27.640
and both of them dans are still in that vehicle today.

1638
01:38:27.760 --> 01:38:29.600
I said, I don't care what it is. We're out

1639
01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:34.039
of here. He drove we took off. So we were

1640
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:38.560
coming back from shopping one day and I was saying,

1641
01:38:38.880 --> 01:38:40.880
and I said, it was right up on the hills

1642
01:38:40.880 --> 01:38:46.680
where we saw them, them creatures, their red eyes. Holy smokes.

1643
01:38:47.239 --> 01:38:51.680
The one I saw was standing up on a flat

1644
01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:55.479
behind all these trees. I'll bet you it had to

1645
01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:59.680
be ten foot tall. My wife seemed one standing on

1646
01:38:59.720 --> 01:39:02.640
the other hillside. I wasn't even looking at that one.

1647
01:39:03.439 --> 01:39:06.760
And she said, would you say, that looks like refrigerator.

1648
01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:11.560
He said, for a Volkswagen. Yeah, so it looked like

1649
01:39:11.560 --> 01:39:16.960
a Volkswagen standing up. It was just huge. And me myself,

1650
01:39:17.079 --> 01:39:19.680
I'm driving trying to look at it and trying to

1651
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:22.920
be safe so I didn't hit anything. And we're coming

1652
01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:25.399
across the bridge and I looked at her and I

1653
01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:27.840
was She looked at me. We both had that same thing,

1654
01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:32.880
and she goes, did you see what I seen? I

1655
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:37.560
was like, well, I seen a figure up on top

1656
01:39:37.560 --> 01:39:40.479
of a hill. And she goes, I seen a figure

1657
01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:44.680
standing between them poles. And until this day, we keep

1658
01:39:44.760 --> 01:39:47.119
driving past here, we keep looking up on a hero.

1659
01:39:47.239 --> 01:39:52.439
We never seen him again, but that was in two

1660
01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:56.880
thousand and four. In two thousand and five, me and

1661
01:39:56.920 --> 01:40:03.920
my grandson. Huh, I'm sorry, dear. Anyways, two thousand and six,

1662
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:08.039
I took my grandson hunting with me. So we're going

1663
01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:12.159
down in this a different area, a little bit further

1664
01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:15.119
away from where we were hunting, and we had permisson

1665
01:40:15.159 --> 01:40:18.720
to hunt on his property, and I was taking the

1666
01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:21.880
grandson with me. I'm showing him how to hunt brand new,

1667
01:40:22.199 --> 01:40:25.359
you know, fifteen year old boy, learn how to hunt.

1668
01:40:25.479 --> 01:40:28.520
Go on with this, pap app. I set him on

1669
01:40:28.560 --> 01:40:30.600
a tree and I said, I'm going to go look

1670
01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:33.760
over the hill. So I walk away from my grandson

1671
01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:36.399
and he's sitting there and he calls me on radio

1672
01:40:36.399 --> 01:40:39.199
and says, papap, there's a guy over here dressed in

1673
01:40:39.279 --> 01:40:45.319
black and he's looking at me. I said, what I said,

1674
01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:47.920
you know, it's the first day a buck. He's got

1675
01:40:47.920 --> 01:40:50.640
to have ores on. No, this guy's in black and

1676
01:40:50.680 --> 01:40:54.840
he's looking at me. I worked my way back to

1677
01:40:54.920 --> 01:40:57.159
the top of that hill. I get up there and

1678
01:40:57.239 --> 01:41:00.439
I just walked the crest of the hill. He goes, look,

1679
01:41:00.479 --> 01:41:05.680
he's standing right there and he says he's gone. I

1680
01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:09.000
was like, holy smoke. He says, pap, I'm telling you,

1681
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:12.000
he said this one was black. It was Harry and

1682
01:41:12.039 --> 01:41:13.439
it was bought my size.

1683
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:15.720
I said, wow, that.

1684
01:41:18.199 --> 01:41:19.800
So I don't know.

1685
01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:22.600
The rest of that day, we kept hearing the hoops

1686
01:41:23.319 --> 01:41:26.880
and he says, what is that and I said, I

1687
01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:28.800
honestly god, I said, I don't know. And I said,

1688
01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:30.520
I'm not going to scare you. I said, I think

1689
01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:33.920
I know what it is. And we joked about it

1690
01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:37.960
for the rest of the day. So we went back

1691
01:41:37.960 --> 01:41:40.800
there like three days later, and we were walking the

1692
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:43.239
creek and as we're downing through the bottom of the curtain,

1693
01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:47.840
a rock come flying down beside us. And we looked

1694
01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:51.079
up on the hill and there's this like a six

1695
01:41:51.119 --> 01:41:54.800
foot triangle and it was at the top of the hill.

1696
01:41:55.800 --> 01:41:59.239
And I pulled his scope out because I had three

1697
01:41:59.279 --> 01:42:01.760
to nine jacket all with the nine and I was

1698
01:42:01.760 --> 01:42:05.239
looking on top of you and I said, grandson, I said,

1699
01:42:05.479 --> 01:42:07.720
whatever that is up there, I said, it's got hair.

1700
01:42:09.199 --> 01:42:11.439
And he took the scope and he looked up there

1701
01:42:11.520 --> 01:42:15.640
and he said, pap, he says, that thinks moving. And

1702
01:42:16.119 --> 01:42:19.359
as we both went to go look again, it was gone.

1703
01:42:20.039 --> 01:42:27.920
So whatever critters are living near us in Pennsylvania, they

1704
01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:30.600
can stay there. We don't have a problem with them.

1705
01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:33.680
They don't mess with us. They do let us know

1706
01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:38.960
they're there. And once we saw him that one day

1707
01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:45.960
I'll tell you, look, there are bigfoot, and since i've

1708
01:42:46.000 --> 01:42:49.239
seen them, I can't say that. You know, I can't

1709
01:42:49.319 --> 01:42:53.640
believe because it's real. Them critters are real.

1710
01:42:55.239 --> 01:42:58.840
Wow, that's that's some really wild stories. Did you say

1711
01:42:58.880 --> 01:43:01.039
this is northeast Pennsylvania.

1712
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:09.439
Yeah, yeah, it's actually uh right next to Ohio. We'll

1713
01:43:09.479 --> 01:43:16.159
put it that way. Okay, So yeah, story, make sure

1714
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:19.119
you say it's in Pennsylvania. Don't tell where it's at

1715
01:43:19.800 --> 01:43:25.279
because people go out and try to look for the critters.

1716
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:26.399
You know what I mean. I don't want to.

1717
01:43:26.479 --> 01:43:29.359
Oh, I get it, I get it. Yeah, absolutely well.

1718
01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:32.960
I appreciate you you coming up and sharing what you've

1719
01:43:32.960 --> 01:43:35.239
experienced over the years.

1720
01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:36.560
I appreciate that.

1721
01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:39.680
Man. You can go ahead and use everything I said,

1722
01:43:39.760 --> 01:43:42.199

this year. We can talk about your encounter. Was able

1765
01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:40.880
to talk to so many people last year and the

1766
01:46:40.960 --> 01:46:45.079
year before. It is an incredible time. You're not going

1767
01:46:45.159 --> 01:46:46.960
to want to miss it, and I'll see you there.

1768
01:46:49.239 --> 01:46:51.560
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something

1769
01:46:51.600 --> 01:46:54.840
directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're

1770
01:46:54.840 --> 01:46:58.600
in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've

1771
01:46:58.640 --> 01:47:01.479
seen something that no one can explain, or if you're

1772
01:47:01.479 --> 01:47:04.760
a National Park ranger or forestry worker who's been told

1773
01:47:04.800 --> 01:47:07.760
to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen

1774
01:47:07.880 --> 01:47:11.079
something strange down on the ground, or if you're with

1775
01:47:11.159 --> 01:47:14.720
the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you

1776
01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:17.960
stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And

1777
01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:21.359
if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder

1778
01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:24.720
who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

1779
01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:28.600
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil

1780
01:47:28.720 --> 01:47:31.880
field or a trucker with government contracts and you've had

1781
01:47:31.920 --> 01:47:35.560
something happen that you've never told a soul. And if

1782
01:47:35.560 --> 01:47:39.239
you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher

1783
01:47:39.359 --> 01:47:43.000
under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1784
01:47:43.560 --> 01:47:46.039
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1785
01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:49.520
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1786
01:47:50.239 --> 01:47:53.359
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or

1787
01:47:53.399 --> 01:47:56.760
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1788
01:47:58.079 --> 01:48:01.560
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1789
01:48:03.319 --> 01:48:06.920
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

1790
01:48:07.319 --> 01:48:09.760
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

1791
01:48:09.760 --> 01:48:15.560
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

1792
01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:19.920

01:48:28.560 --> 01:48:31.399
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
