Season 1

What happens when a 13-year-old girl looks out her bedroom window and locks eyes—just six inches away—with something impossible? In this chilling and emotional episode, we meet Sandra, a lifelong North Alabama resident who experienced five encounters with a Sasquatch in just two weeks back in 1972. From face-to-face stares through a window to watching a black figure peer into her family’s chicken houses, Sandra takes us through vivid, terrifying moments that stayed with her for life. We revisit her farm—stocked with fish, livestock, fruit trees, and caves—and explore the strange patterns that continued decades later, including fresh footprints, whoops in the night, and handprints left on glass. You’ll also hear about the local church revival that was shut down by a peeking Bigfoot, and what Sandra’s family wouldn’t say out loud.

Set near the edge of Bankhead National Forest, this is more than just a Bigfoot sighting—it’s a multigenerational mystery wrapped in Southern tradition, Cherokee ancestry, and the deep woods of Alabama.

00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.120
You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.679
story isn't about a hiker or a hunter. It's about

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.359
a thirteen year old girl on a quiet Alabama farm

4
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.439
who looked out her bedroom window one November night and

5
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.519
locked eyes with something that wasn't supposed to exist. For

6
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.480
two weeks in nineteen seventy two, Sandra saw it again

7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.679
and again in the chicken house by the pond, and

8
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.000
once just six inches away, separated only by a thin

9
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.199
pane of glass, and it didn't run or growl, It

10
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.439
just watched. This is a first hand account of terror, family, silence,

11
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.159
and a farm that became a buffet for something wild,

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.799
and decades later, it's still happening. This is the story

13
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.439
of Sandra from North Alabama. To stay with us. I

14
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.359
big the Society. We get the privilege of talking to

15
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.399
Sandra today. Sandra's an individual that I've reached out to

16
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.520
through Facebook and she did agree to coming on the

17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.640
show to share what she's experienced down there first, starting

18
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.119
in North Alabama over the years. Sandra, it's great to

19
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:02.719
have you on the show today. How's it going.

20
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.120
It's great to be here. Everything's going great, can't.

21
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.640
Complain awesome, awesome. Yeah, I know there's a lot to

22
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.920
go over, a lot of things to share, So I'm

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.599
going to go ahead and make sure that you have

24
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.040
all the time that you need, and we'll maybe be

25
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:24.040
talking along the way as you're sharing. But feel free

26
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.439
to take things from here, Sandra and bring us back

27
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.599
to when this all started happening for you.

28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.239
Okay. Well, the first starting that I had was in November,

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.239
the second week of November of nineteen seventy two. I

30
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.000
had just turned thirteen years old, and we lived on

31
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.519
one hundred and eighty acre farm in North Alabama. North

32
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.959
some people say north Central, but it's really more North Alabama.

33
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.239
We're about an hour and fifteen minutes from the Tennessee line.

34
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.560
I can give you a little brief description of the farm.

35
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:02.040
We had chickens, chicken houses, cattle. I can't guess the

36
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.439
number of head, about one hundred goats, five fish ponds

37
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.680
stopped with catfish, bass, and brim. We just had a

38
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.479
plethora of food. We had a huge, probably over an

39
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:18.280
acre of garden every year. Plus Dad had a hog operation.

40
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.120
I think we had just started that at that time,

41
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.000
and so it was a nice, cool, crisp autumn evening,

42
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.560
and being a teenager, I like to go off by

43
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:38.280
myself and I watched if people listening, remember Dragnet. I

44
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.520
liked to go back to my room and watch Dragnet

45
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.599
while I did my homework. Well, Mom called back, but

46
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.120
you know, yelled back and said it was time to

47
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.159
get ready for bed. So I started getting dressed, put

48
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.319
my jamas on, and I felt like something was looking.

49
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.680
You know how you've kept that feeling that somebody's looking

50
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.400
at you, and I just had a feeling that somebody

51
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.400
was staring at me. And grandmother we had I shared

52
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.680
a room with her, and we had the windows cracked

53
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.199
about five inches at the top, and she had these

54
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.159
boil which were very sheer curtains, yellow curtains hanging over

55
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.719
just to get the air through the house. And I

56
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.759
stepped over to the window and looked and there was

57
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:29.560
this huge head, big eyes, and I thought at the

58
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.159
time that just immediate my immediate thought was that it

59
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.120
was our neighbors pranking me. The two genage boys. One

60
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.479
was a couple of years older than me and one

61
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.560
was a couple of years younger. And I yelled at

62
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.199
them and call them by name and told them to

63
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.360
go home. Well, when I yelled, it blinked its eyes.

64
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.919
And when it blinked its eyes, I could tell it

65
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.520
was not a mask. It was a real creature. The

66
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.639
eye itself was very large and blick, but when it

67
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.599
blinked you could see the tiniest bit of white in

68
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.680
the corners. And then I realized that it had a

69
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.319
I mean, I just kind of froze. My face was

70
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.720
probably five to six inches from its face because I

71
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.560
got right up in its face when I was thinking

72
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.519
it was the neighbor and I'm screaming at it. It

73
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.959
never moved, it didn't run, It just blinked, and it

74
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.839
had a nose. I've always compared it to the pictures

75
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.279
of the Neanderthal man. It was totally black. It was

76
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.399
the course dark outside, so I really can't take the

77
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.319
shape of the head. And initially I thought that the

78
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.040
head was smaller than now I now realized that it is.

79
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.120
So it had to be at least a basketball, if

80
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.480
not larger. Because we had single pane windows over a

81
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.639
single pain it didn't have any of the you know,

82
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.519
the divisions for the panes in the window, and we

83
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.800
initially when I had spoke to another group. I had

84
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.399
said that I thought it was six and a half

85
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.040
feet tall, and they pointed out how houses were built

86
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.920
back then, and you're being a childhood memory. I didn't

87
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:17.560
think about that. Okay, I'm sorry. My son is baking cookies.

88
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:25.079
He has autism and that's what he's doing, and so okay.

89
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.800
And they pointed out that, you know, they built them

90
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.519
with the concrete blocks, probably three or four up for

91
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.519
the cross face under the house, and then they had

92
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.439
a rem joice. So I'm kind of breaking from the

93
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.319
story explaining this. My husband and I rode back over

94
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.839
to the house I grew up in. It's still there,

95
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.120
and the only difference is they changed the color of it.

96
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.839
So they were right. It has the blocks and the

97
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.959
rim joice. So that adds about two feet to the

98
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.800
hype what I thought it was, So that put it

99
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:02.120
being close to eight feet tall, and that really gave

100
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.399
put a shutter through me. That scared me, given that

101
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:10.480
much more. But it stayed there. It didn't move. I

102
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.920
was afraid to say anything to my dad because I

103
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:20.680
was afraid of him going outside and being injured by

104
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:26.680
it or something, so I didn't say anything. I went

105
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.920
to bed, Grandma came in, went to bed. I kept

106
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.600
moving the curtain with my toe and seeing it standing there,

107
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.839
you could see it silhouette in the moonlight. I don't

108
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.519
understand why it never moved, and it sounds kind of crazy,

109
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.399
but eventually I noticed it was gone the next day.

110
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.279
That was a Thursday night. I even remember the night

111
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.959
of the week. It was a Thursday because I went

112
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.600
to school the next day and I was scared to

113
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.639
death to go home, thinking that thing would be somewhere

114
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.560
around there. I went over under the window and looked.

115
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.360
We had Holly Bush's grandmother had planned it up kind

116
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.800
of close to the house, but it was you could

117
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.879
see where the grass was, you know, press down, probably

118
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.399
a good twenty four inch kind of area there where

119
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.040
something had shuffled around that you couldn't see, you know,

120
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.160
footprints of that kind of thing. I don't remember that.

121
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.759
I just remember seeing the grass and ash down, so

122
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.839
that confirmed to me that there was something there. My

123
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.759
job was to go to the chicken houses after I

124
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.560
got home from school and walk the chickens, and we

125
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.040
would do that no matter what the season. But I

126
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.839
had to go walk in sounds bad, but you had

127
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.680
to pick up the diseased chickens and take them down

128
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:46.439
to the chicken pit. Blah blah blah, and well fast forward.

129
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.600
I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous, so bear with me, Jeremiah.

130
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.480
Friday night, it didn't come back. Saturday night, that thing

131
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.319
was back at the window. I don't remember it staying

132
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.199
is long, but I remember it being back in the

133
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.360
same place and watching the same I watched it again

134
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.240
in the moonlight until I guess I went to sleep.

135
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.360
It walked away or something. Then the first part of

136
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.959
the next week, you know, at school again. I was

137
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.399
in the chicken house walking the chickens one afternoon and

138
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.759
I felt a shadow passing over me on the west side,

139
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.000
and I looked and there was the black figure walking

140
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.559
down the side of the chicken house. All I could

141
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.679
see was probably from what would what I would call

142
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:43.240
its upper arms shoulder area, down to where the window stopped,

143
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.200
which was probably wastes or so high. It walked around,

144
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.039
walked to the end of the chicken house. We had

145
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.799
our doors open on the chicken houses, large doors brought

146
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.320
back and it stood there where the screen wire was,

147
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.600
looking in at the chickens. It scared me so bad,

148
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.679
I got into the furnace room, and I got down

149
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.519
behind the wall that we had built there, and I'd

150
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.080
look up and back down. I'd stand up and back

151
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.120
down to see when it left. Well, the chickens had

152
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.360
made a little semicircle, because when you start on them,

153
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.279
it's kind of interesting how chickens do. But they made

154
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.919
a little circle out from that opening, and it was

155
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.480
just standing there, not making any effort to tear through

156
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.360
the wire or do anything. So finally it turned, and

157
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.240
when it started down the fence road back towards the woods,

158
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.600
I ran out and got on my motorcycle and went

159
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.600
back to our house. A little minibhite motorcycle thing went

160
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.679
to the house. Well, that terrified me, and I did

161
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.559
not go back and do the other two chicken houses.

162
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.480
I was scared to death to go down there again.

163
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.159
I didn't tell anybody. Then Wednesday or Thursday night of

164
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.879
that week, it was back. Now, my dad also did

165
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.759
hay all over the county and neighboring counties, but at

166
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.879
that time of the year he was combining soybeans, and

167
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.960
Dad bailed the soybean fills for fodder. I guess for

168
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:17.759
the cattle. I don't know. Exactly what he did with

169
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:23.120
all of it, but they were still hauling some you know,

170
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:27.080
the baiales of soybean hay. So I was left home

171
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.960
in the afternoon to do laundry and different things by

172
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.559
myself and Mom and my brothers. My baby brother would

173
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.440
ride with her, and my other brother helps because he

174
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.960
was even though he was only eleven years old, he

175
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:44.480
was big enough to handle haybails on the truck. So

176
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.039
they had all left to go haul some of the

177
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.720
bean bails in. Bean bails in, and I walked over

178
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:58.399
to the front door, and there at the neighbor's spillway,

179
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.799
the pond was probably a little over a tenth of

180
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.279
a mile from our front door. There it stood really

181
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.039
and I remember it being really tall, solid black. It

182
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.440
wasn't real like people say they're four feet wide, five

183
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.480
feet wide whatever. I don't remember it being that big.

184
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.720
I guess maybe three and a half wide when I

185
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.240
thought at the chicken house and down there it was

186
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.679
standing at the spillway. Didn't do anything, wasn't you know,

187
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.240
It was just standing there. And then it turned and

188
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.360
walked down the backside of it, and it was a

189
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:34.879
really steep down and that led down into the woods

190
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.639
and that was all that I saw it as. So

191
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.000
roughly five sightings of this, I'm assuming the same creature

192
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.399
within a two week period of time. That has suck

193
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:50.000
with me my entire life. And you know, I tried

194
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.360
to not think about it and you know, push it

195
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.519
back in the back of the memories and things. But

196
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.919
now that I've gotten older and through the years, I thought,

197
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:00.519
you know, we really had a good set up. They

198
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.559
could get the sea's chickens out of the pit they

199
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.120
had I don't know whatever happened to like dead cats

200
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.840
and stuff when Dad found them. You know, stillborn's no

201
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.240
idea if he buried them or just I hate to

202
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.200
say it, tossed them over the fence or something. But

203
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.440
they had that, you know, they had the fish ponds,

204
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:23.080
They had our fruit trees. We had an enormous pear

205
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.639
tree down in the center of one of our pastures.

206
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.840
We had plumb trees all over. We had peaches, apples,

207
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.840
and like I said, we had a huge garden. We

208
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.840
had free range chickens out back, just lots lots of

209
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:44.279
stuff that they could survive on. It's been kind of

210
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.919
a lifelong fascination, I guess trying to learn a little

211
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.320
bit more about them. But the area that we were

212
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.039
in also bordered the back part of our property. The

213
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:59.360
railroad track ran through and between the railroad tracks and

214
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.960
our proper. There was also a creek, not a huge one,

215
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.639
maybe four feet wide something like that, and then there

216
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.840
was a lot of farm land around us. Our neighbor

217
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.360
had cattle, They had two huge ponds. The people across

218
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.200
the railroad traps were friends of the family, and they

219
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:21.519
had when they had cattle and they had ponds. So

220
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.360
it was really a pretty good area. And we had

221
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.960
caves down behind our home. My dad used to take

222
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.320
us walking down the tracks and he would tell us

223
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.120
stories about the caves that Civil War soldiers had hidden

224
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.519
things in them or hidden there themselves during the Civil War.

225
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.559
But there was one cave in particular that he would

226
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.320
tell us not to go in, and he had told

227
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.759
several different stories about it. He told us that there

228
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.399
was things that were found in there from the war.

229
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.480
Then he told us not too far in there was

230
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.879
a drop off that you would drop and get hurt

231
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.960
if you didn't know what you were doing. And then

232
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.240
he telled us later that we just did not need

233
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:04.480
to go in that cave at all. I don't know

234
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.720
if Dad knew something. I know that my great great

235
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.120
grade I think grandfather was full bloody Cherokee, and Dad

236
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.200
used to every once in a while say when we'd

237
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:20.000
hear something about them being around. He said that Granddad

238
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.480
said that they traveled the Appalachian Trails, that the Appalations,

239
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.279
that they migrated, and that's about all. And my mom

240
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.639
said that she don't remember hearing Dad talk about it.

241
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.799
But Mom didn't like anything that had to do with science.

242
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.559
She considered it science fiction, anything out of the norm.

243
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.919
She was opposed to hearing about her talking about. Now.

244
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.919
Around the same time that this happened to me, I

245
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:50.200
remember at dinner or night Dad telling about and we

246
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.759
heard it on the news a church somewhere in the

247
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.440
North Alabama area that was having a revival and one

248
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.559
had stuck its head in the window during the singing,

249
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.279
and they are like the third nine of the revival,

250
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.440
and they canceled the revival and supposedly went looking for it.

251
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.960
Big for Society will be right back after these messages.

252
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.720
So I don't know exactly where that was at, but

253
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.120
I think it was I don't know if you're familiar

254
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:37.960
with Greg House of Woodwalkers, but we live I don't know,

255
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.879
fifteen to twenty miles apart, but we think it's somewhere

256
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:45.720
between us. He was ever close to the Bankhead Forest

257
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.799
and I kind of live at the edge of the

258
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.759
bank Head Forest, and we think it's kind of in

259
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.879
that area. But we're you know, he's looked for information.

260
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.039
I've looked for information. We haven't found that. But we

261
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.360
heard that they supposedly the men of the church looking

262
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.600
for it, but no one ever, we never heard that

263
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:09.480
they found anything. Fast forward a little bit later on

264
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.879
the teenage years, while I was still at home, there

265
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:13.879
was not too far more. We lived a huge flea

266
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.200
market and we went down. There was a couple that

267
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.360
was there working on their booth. It was a small

268
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.519
building built kind of like a chicken house, honestly, it's

269
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.720
a metal building with open doors on the ends, the

270
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.200
big swing outdoors, and one they were there working while

271
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.879
the flea market was closed, and they had one that

272
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:39.159
appeared in the doorway. I guess just hearing them make noise,

273
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.639
it stuck its head in. And then not far from

274
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.399
there there was an incident where there was one that

275
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.200
appeared went into a chicken house, but my mom and

276
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.120
dad both went down and my dad wanted to talk

277
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.240
to the people about it, and I remember standing there

278
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.200
listening to the man and woman telling the story about

279
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.480
being scared to death about that big hairy thing standing

280
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.519
in the door. So there's been several sided in the

281
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:08.160
general area that I grew up in. No one else

282
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.759
that I know of ever mentioned it. My brothers used

283
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:13.839
to tease me about the one that they saw at

284
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.599
the church because I didn't tell anyone about seeing this

285
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.559
until I was an adult. You know, people have a

286
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.240
tendency to make fun of you. I even when I

287
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.799
told my brother, he didn't have a problem believing it

288
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.920
because when he was a teenager, they'd heard something in

289
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.279
the woods down below one of the ponds when they

290
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.599
were camping, and said that they unloaded all of their

291
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.039
weapons into the woods. But my mom didn't believe it.

292
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.599
She went so far as to say that she believed

293
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.240
I was lying to her about it, and I said, Mom,

294
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.119
I'm not. You brought me up not to lie. I'm

295
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.160
not lying. This happened. I was just afraid to say

296
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.720
anything back then because I didn't want Daddy going out

297
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:59.720
and hunting it and then in twenty twelve, we were

298
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.599
rich church and a gentleman that as the crow flies lives,

299
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.519
his property would be north due northeast of where I

300
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.640
grew up a mile and a half and his son

301
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.839
was hunting and had an encounter with one. So that

302
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.920
kind of to me proves that there's still in the area.

303
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.880
I mean, I know it's twelve years later, but apparently

304
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.440
the caves around there, the environment is something that they like.

305
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.359
So and I can fast forward to what's been going

306
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.039
on around here.

307
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:39.279
Yeah, let's let's discuss about what we've what you've shared

308
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.359
so far, and then we'll get up maybe to it.

309
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.519
Sounds like you have current days stuff going on.

310
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.799
As well a little bit.

311
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:55.680
Yeah, okay, so definitely have a few questions. So a

312
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.160
lot of people in the community were seeing this. Did

313
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.400
you guys call them boogers down there or how would

314
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:03.119
you refer to them?

315
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:09.960
Well, my grandmother, as we were growing up, she would

316
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.400
tell us not to be out too late at night

317
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:17.400
because the wooly boogers would get us. And you know,

318
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.319
most people call them boogers. I just call them bigfoot

319
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:25.279
because that's what I the only thing I knew to

320
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.000
identify them. As was bigfoot or sasquatch, but bigfoot's what

321
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.480
I call them now, I refer to them as boogers.

322
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.960
But my grandmother did use the expression of wooly bookers.

323
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:40.599
I never questioned that as a child. You know, parents

324
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.960
and grandparents tell kids all kinds of things to get

325
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.960
them to stay around home when they have no business

326
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.400
going off anywhere else. But she would say that, you know,

327
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.519
don't go out here or there, the wooly booger will

328
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.720
get you. So I'm wondering if that's just was an

329
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.160
expression that they used to describe it. And she just now,

330
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.319
they were very tight lipped, my grandmother and her sister.

331
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.200
That was just the two in the family, and they

332
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.599
they just didn't talk much about things that they experienced

333
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.680
growing up. They didn't talk much about their family. She

334
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.319
just didn't elaborate on a lot of stuff. If you

335
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.839
tried to ask her questions about family, she'd say, I've

336
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:21.680
got all the family I need right here in this house.

337
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.279
So we just didn't ask her a lot of things.

338
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.400
I Faandma said a woolie boeker was going to get you,

339
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.559
then that's what was going to get you. No matter

340
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:33.640
what that thing was, it was going to get you.

341
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.359
We played in the yard some at night, you know.

342
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.960
We had Daddy put up a light out and a

343
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.119
basketball go out on a big old oak tree that

344
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.680
we could go out and shoot hoops as teenagers, as

345
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.000
young teenagers and pretend and play out there. And we

346
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:54.279
had swings and anything kids wanted to play within the yard.

347
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.640
But we didn't stay out. Really. It's kind of like

348
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.279
kids today. They don't go outside and play out like

349
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.359
we did. But that's all we had. Go out and

350
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.079
sit in the swings and talk to the neighbors, or

351
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.519
go fishing and fished or dark or that kind of thing.

352
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.359
I don't ever remember seeing anything around the ponds, hearing

353
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:20.680
anything around our ponds, but Dad didn't ever talk about them. Now,

354
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:26.720
my uncle was in my great uncle. He was a

355
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.960
school teacher and he also did a lot of home construction,

356
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.599
and he had a place that he would go and

357
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.880
get rocks down on a mountain about two miles below

358
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.359
where we lived, and he would get stones to like

359
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.400
using chimneys and stuff and some good clean sand, and

360
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.000
there was a cave there that he would go in

361
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.480
and get cool water to drink when he was there working.

362
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.319
And his daughter told me a couple years back that

363
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:59.880
it had been several weeks. He'd gotten busy with school

364
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.599
and he was always doing continue education, and he'd gotten

365
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:05.519
very busy with school, and he'd been a couple of

366
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.359
months since he'd been down together rocks and sand. When

367
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:11.920
he went back, he couldn't get into the cave to

368
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.559
get the water. Something had piled rocks at the entrance

369
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.880
and he couldn't get back in there. And that was

370
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:21.480
about two miles from where I grew up.

371
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.160
Wow, okay, so this area is oh crazy.

372
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:32.519
Yeah, I would say a good two mile radius, maybe three,

373
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.680
I mean maybe a month and a half ago. We

374
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.880
have a road that we cut through from one road,

375
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:43.720
one main road to another one and my husband had

376
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:46.319
pulled in and pulled off to the road to go

377
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:51.519
and do his mandate. And as soon as he stepped

378
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.079
out of our vehicle, we heard two whoops. And this

379
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.920
is the same area that that cave is in up

380
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.640
on the mountain that my uncle many years ago, you

381
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.200
still get stones. And my husband turned around, he said,

382
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:08.680
did you hear that? I said, yeah, would you hurry

383
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.720
and let's get out of here. I said, it doesn't

384
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:20.079
like you using its property. Let's go. But they're obviously

385
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:25.160
still around at that area. And see, I've moved where

386
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.480
I'm at now, I'm probably five miles six miles from

387
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.079
where I grew up, and I'm in an area with

388
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.920
a lot of water and things of that nature. But

389
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.160
we'll get there whenever you're ready to get that right.

390
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:45.200
Absolutely, was there any community backlash after the situation with

391
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.920
the Bigfoot? Looking into the church revival? Was it a

392
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:50.480
tent or an actual church building?

393
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.240
Do you know? It was a church? They said that

394
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.359
the windows were up and that it that it looked

395
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:02.200
in while they were singing, And then I suppose the music,

396
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:06.039
the singing, the noise probably attracted it. But there was

397
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.240
a woman and a child turned around and looked and

398
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.119
saw it and screamed, and the nut's when they disbanded,

399
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.759
And they said that I think it was like third

400
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:17.000
nine of the revival, if I remember correctly, And they

401
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.839
didn't continue because back then revivals would run a full

402
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.839
seven nights and they didn't have any more revival than

403
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.000
men went out looking for it and didn't find it.

404
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.039
So, oh, man, you know, then, I.

405
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.839
Think the newspaper even I think the newspaper even may

406
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.920
have carried something. I'm not I'm not positive, but I

407
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.599
know that there was a lot of talk about it.

408
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.200
Oh absolutely, I know that. Wow mmm.

409
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:50.519
And there's supposedly I'm not sure if it was in

410
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:55.880
the same era an incident over in Mississippi. Not too

411
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.480
often for you know, west of US, that the same

412
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.400
type of thing happened. But I don't think it had

413
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:06.359
such a good ending. But you know, we never heard

414
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:12.079
any more about that area. And as far as the

415
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.440
flea market, people were really curious to hear these people

416
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.000
talk about it, because you know, they would. I would

417
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:23.440
see people. We went there every weekend. My dad was

418
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.079
just an addict. Every single weekend. We were there on

419
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.359
Saturday and Sunday walking it, talking to everybody, and he

420
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.000
knew most of the people there, and I there was

421
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.079
a lot of people that went by to see these

422
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.480
people that saw it there. And it was during like

423
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.119
within probably two years, i'd say, of when I saw

424
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.640
the one on our property, I'm always saying why didn't

425
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:50.839
I see it? Asking why didn't I see it again?

426
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.480
Why didn't it come back? Why did it come just

427
00:25:54.519 --> 00:26:01.240
to that window. I was a I would have said preteam,

428
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:08.759
but I just turned thirteen I some people have theories

429
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.000
about them being traccted to women during certain times of

430
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.839
the month. We're all adults here, so I would say

431
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.160
that I had just started puberty, not too far not

432
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.000
too long before that, so maybe that had something to

433
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.359
do with it. I don't know, There's there's just so

434
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:31.000
many questions I have personally.

435
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.799
Absolutely yeah, I mean I can tell you that I

436
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.839
agree with you on both of those. There's been things

437
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:43.759
said to me off air, off record that make me

438
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.720
believe that as well one hundred percent. There's something to

439
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.839
that where it's like, you know, time of the month

440
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.200
slash puberty place can play it a huge part in it.

441
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.920
When you had the you know, it was so close

442
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.039
to your window, and it was like you're saying six

443
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:06.839
feet away, that's really really close.

444
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.759
Do you remember inches?

445
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.480
Six inches? Sorry, yeah, that's way different. Inches.

446
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.000
There was a glass of pane in the spring between me.

447
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:20.359
And it, so that's six inches. Do you remember smelling

448
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.200
anything like a smeller or no?

449
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.200
Wow, No, I'm glad you asked that. So many people

450
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.400
asked me that, and no, I don't remember any odors.

451
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.720
I think i'd have remembered it because since then I

452
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.119
have smelled one, but I'm sure I would have remembered

453
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.880
that gut wrenching odor, but no, there was no smell.

454
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.799
I remember its face being like leathery looking, you know,

455
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.240
a lot of wrinkles. I can't remember seeing hair above

456
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.680
the eyebrows, I really because it was dark. I don't

457
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:59.359
remember seeing. I do remember seeing eyebrows. I don't remember

458
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.039
it being like a protruding eye, you know, like they

459
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.160
showed the apes protruding out what did they call that,

460
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:09.680
the pronounced brow? I don't remember that. And maybe in

461
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.960
the angle that we were being face to face, I

462
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:17.359
don't know. I remember some hair on the cheeks, I

463
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.200
do remember, and I'm sorry I forgot to mention later

464
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.680
later on, uh, And it had to been after I

465
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.359
turned fourteen, because I got after Spencer Jamison questioned me

466
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:38.240
a lot. I remembered seeing another one, and probably the

467
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:42.039
same one, I'm guessing. And the reason I had to

468
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:43.880
be after I turned fourteen. My dad bought me a

469
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.240
hont of seventy and I was writing it to the

470
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:50.880
pond and around the chicken houses and stuff, you know,

471
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.440
to do chores and things. And as I was coming

472
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.240
back from my lower chicken house, we had a large

473
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.759
barn like the house that I grew up, and then

474
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.880
we had an open area out back, a huge, huge

475
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.759
BlackBerry I used to call it the BlackBerry mound. It

476
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.799
was probably sixteen feet long and twelve feet wide. My

477
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.880
grandmother had, for lack of a better way of putting it,

478
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:20.480
she kind of tamed wild blackberries into this huge mound.

479
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.319
The blackberries. We had that there, and then we had

480
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.400
her chicken pins, rabbit pins. She also had dogs out

481
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:32.079
there and pins, and then the barn started and we

482
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.960
had Dad had built an area to bottle feed calves

483
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:39.319
on one end of it. Then we had the open

484
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.519
base where the tractors and the equipment, the hay balers

485
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:47.240
and stuff was stored. Directly behind that was probably five

486
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:50.880
stalls for cows, and we had one that was set

487
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:56.680
aside as a makeshift chicken coop. And then we had

488
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:02.480
a cattle catch pen at the end where when we

489
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.119
rounded them up and tagged, you know, new calves and

490
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.680
things we had. He built an area there that was

491
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:09.880
large enough to pretty much accommodate the whole herd.

492
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.640
Big for society would be right back after these messages.

493
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.640
And then we had to catch pin and then another

494
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.559
smaller pin that he could isolate other cows in, and

495
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.319
we had cataba worm trees were famili where those are

496
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.599
not you know the trees that they have the the

497
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:47.960
those caterpillar lockworms on them you fish with.

498
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:49.680
Ye yeah, yeah yeah.

499
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.240
We had two of those huge ones out there, I

500
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.039
mean huge ones. And then we had another little open

501
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:57.759
air lean to type thing on the barn that my

502
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:02.680
grandmother raised not crawlers, had eight twelve eight to twelve

503
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:08.720
inch high beds on them. Initially she did her starts

504
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.400
for the garden there and then she converted it to nightcrawlers. Well,

505
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:14.319
as I was coming back from the third chicken house,

506
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:20.000
I remember seeing it standing in that area. The edge

507
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.480
of it was about six feet on the very edge

508
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.279
of it was about six feet high, maybe five and

509
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:26.680
a half, and then it sloped up to attached to

510
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:31.119
the barn, probably nine feet at the inner piece of

511
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.799
the ten that attached to the barn, and it was

512
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.799
hunched over like its head was over. It couldn't stand

513
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:45.319
up straight. And I just remember as I rode by

514
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:47.880
seeing it and thinking I got to get to the house.

515
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.319
I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. There

516
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:53.119
was no light there. It was black. Like I said,

517
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:54.960
it could have been the same one, but that had

518
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.680
to have been close to a year later because I

519
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.960
had the motorcycle. Then was the gift Dad gave me

520
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.039
for my birthday, the larger bike. Now another thing, and

521
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.640
I don't think I mentioned it was. My grandmother also

522
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:16.400
had old style refrigerator freezers. You know they campaign take

523
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:18.839
the doors off, YadA, YadA, YadA for years because kids

524
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:22.599
could get in them. And they could, okay. She had

525
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.720
them lined up around the back side of my dad's shop.

526
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:29.519
There was probably ten, maybe a foot put in half

527
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.640
between each one, which had them up on cement blocks,

528
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.160
and she had drain each tos in them, and she

529
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.799
had them full of either red wigglers or I guess

530
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:41.519
not crawlers in them. And then in the evenings grandmother

531
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:44.680
would sprinkle the top of them with chicken feed and

532
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.319
she would also take scraps from the kitchen of eggshells,

533
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:51.400
different things like that and sprinkle across the top of

534
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:56.039
them for the worms to feed on. Well, in the evening,

535
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:57.960
right before dark, she would go down and put a

536
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.920
cement block on the corner, a big, heavy cement block.

537
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:04.559
It wasn't like the I don't know what are they

538
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:08.440
six inches wide? It was the larger ones. I remember

539
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.759
it being the the maybe twelve or twelve. I think

540
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:14.880
she would put those things up there on the corner

541
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.440
and then she would lower the lid, and that was

542
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:20.160
to keep if it rained during the night, it would

543
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:27.240
keep them from flooding out. Well, we went through a

544
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.680
spell where she would go down in the mornings and

545
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.319
the cement block would be on the ground and the

546
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.559
live would be closed, and she was upset about it

547
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.880
because she didn't want the worms. It closed down on

548
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:40.480
the worms for fear of I guess I don't know

549
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:42.119
what kind of problems it could have caused if they

550
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.680
came to the top. Maybe that overheated or something that

551
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.920
she didn't get nothing done there early enough. But she

552
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.519
couldn't understand what was taking her blocks and setting them

553
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:55.759
on the ground and knocking them on the ground. It

554
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:59.359
crossed my mind not too long ago, maybe because it

555
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:03.759
was around this I'm tom prime that thing was coming

556
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:07.039
up and getting the kitchen scraps or eating the chicken feed,

557
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.480
because sometimes it was whole corn corn that dropped, you know,

558
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.320
shell corn that she would throw in there. And we

559
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.840
also had a corn crib not too far from there

560
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.679
that she threw in there for the worms. Just the thought.

561
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:25.719
Yeah, absolutely. I mean there's multiple accounts I can think

562
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:29.280
of right now where something similar to that, like some

563
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:35.320
sort of refrigerator or freezer on a back porch was involved,

564
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:38.920
and that just draws them in. Like there's the you know,

565
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:42.599
the account in Oklahoma about twenty years ago, and there's

566
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:48.199
also I believe one in outside of Mount Rainier that

567
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:54.239
I just heard from individual named Tom Powell. But yeah, no,

568
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.960
I would say, I mean the whole farm area the

569
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.119
way you guys had set up, it's just like a magnet,

570
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.400
so much food, incredible amount of.

571
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:12.280
Oh yeah, smaller's board for the sasquats. Oh yeah, I mean,

572
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.480
you know, the dead chickens, the cows, and I know

573
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:18.920
when the pig operation got going, Dad would he had

574
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.559
a thing that he incinerated the men, but he didn't

575
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:24.360
light it. Every day. He would throw them out there

576
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:29.679
and then you know, into it. It was the open

577
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:33.119
air type thing, and then he would I guess I

578
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:37.199
had propane burners on the bottom, I don't know, but

579
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.960
then he would you know, light it up and then

580
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.519
burn all the carcasses. But he would wait till he

581
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.079
got several you know, to set it. So there was

582
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:53.440
there right, and that was not Collie. It was really

583
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:59.639
close to the woods. Eye property actually went across the

584
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.519
rever attracts some but we didn't fool with the property

585
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:05.119
on that side. It was just a small corner that

586
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.639
was over there. But around the edge of it. You know,

587
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:11.159
Dad left wooded areas. We had a good deal of

588
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:15.760
woods on the on the property. So but the hog

589
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:18.119
operation he had sat way back out away from the house,

590
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.159
so we didn't have that annoying, horrible smell. And it

591
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.679
was very very close. Probably the back of it was

592
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:29.119
forty five feet from the woodline. So in the end

593
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.960
that the incinerator was on was even closer to that

594
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.519
closer the incinerator was even closer to the woods than

595
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:42.000
the building itself. So yeah, it looking back now, I

596
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.239
can see where you know, they could have fish one night,

597
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:49.239
pigs one night, chicken one night. You know, be facetious

598
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.440
and silly about it. But they just had a all

599
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.599
kinds of things they could eat.

600
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.119
Oh yeah, I mean they would never have to go hunting.

601
00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:59.400
Plenty of deer.

602
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.880
Yeah, I mean, there'd be no reason too unless they

603
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:03.360
wanted to get deer, but.

604
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:08.119
Plenty of fruit and vegetables. Oh yeah, definitely did.

605
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.039
Would you guys ever have anything show up on your

606
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:16.639
property that didn't make sense, like parts of deer or

607
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:19.639
weird objects that were just out of place.

608
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:24.559
You know, Dad never mentioned that, and I don't remember

609
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:28.360
anything like that as a child, and I mentioned before,

610
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:32.000
I don't remember. I remember riding with Dad in the

611
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.559
truck and us finding stillborn calves. Sometimes the cow would

612
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.599
have twins and one wouldn't make it. I honestly can't

613
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:42.599
tell you what Dad did with those. I don't know

614
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.480
if you know if those were there, if they were devoured.

615
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:48.880
We had deer, but they didn't come up around the

616
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:50.360
house a lot. You could see them in the back

617
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:55.079
parts of the close to the woodline on the property,

618
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.039
but we just didn't see a lot of deer inside

619
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:01.599
the fences. So and that wasn't a hunter, you know,

620
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.920
he just he didn't. He would take the boys usually

621
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.440
in the fall squirrel hunting or rabbit hunting or something,

622
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.599
just to say carry them hunting. But he didn't hunt

623
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:17.360
for deer. We had too many cows and pigs and

624
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.360
you know, things of that nature around to keep the

625
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:23.000
freezer stop. So he just didn't. He was just never

626
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.760
a hunter, and I don't ever remember him saying that

627
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:30.519
something had gotten broken into or anything like that. But

628
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.480
all of our fields basically all ran back to the woods,

629
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.199
you know, like when we had corn, there was ample

630
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.239
fresh corn that they could have gotten into. And I

631
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.280
don't know if they had any interest in soybeans, but

632
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.199
the same with the soybean fills, they went back to

633
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:54.239
the woods. Occasionally he would drain a pond, but we

634
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.920
had He had one pond that was a I guess

635
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.119
you'd say a nursery. He had these huge baskets that

636
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.159
he'd built that with arrators in them that now he

637
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.360
did have one of those pulls from the water one

638
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:11.519
time pulled out to the edge, but he Dad's statement

639
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.440
was that he figured somebody had came across the fence

640
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.559
and was trying to steal the pound pounder to have

641
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.280
catfish out of it because they were not ready to

642
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:24.639
be dumped into the larger pond. So, you know, thinking back,

643
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:28.280
I don't know, never did I hear them mention anything

644
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:33.159
about footprints anything of that nature. Growing up, I just

645
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:38.159
don't remember anything like that. And honestly, if Dad noticed it.

646
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.440
I don't think Jeremiah he would have said anything in

647
00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:44.840
front of my mother because she was just so I mean,

648
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:48.159
we weren't even allowed. This sounds silly maybe to some people,

649
00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:51.519
but I was always a tricky thanks to my cousin,

650
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.519
but we were not allowed to even watch Star Trek

651
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:59.119
in our household because that was so out there, you know,

652
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:03.239
that was just we just couldn't do it. So Dad

653
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.039
just knew what he could and couldn't talk to about

654
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:08.280
around Mom. Now he might have talked about it to

655
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.599
neighbors and things like that, but not not at home

656
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:13.480
with us.

657
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:20.679
No, I we had bodcasts, dynamics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.

658
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.119
Know, if it if Mom didn't feel like it was biblical,

659
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:26.639
you didn't talk about it. That's a good way to

660
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:30.920
put it, that, you know, the Bible didn't talk about

661
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:33.719
Captain Kirk, and you wasn't going to talk about Kirk.

662
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.599
Well true, yeah, Bible does not talk about Kevin Kirk.

663
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.119
But on the other hand, the Bible does talk about

664
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:43.000
a lot of really weird stuff, which I've always you know,

665
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:47.559
found interesting if you if you read it with an

666
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:52.440
open mind, and especially as an adult, you're like, whoa

667
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:53.760
there's some.

668
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:55.679
Really really Jennis chapter six.

669
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:56.360
There you go.

670
00:40:56.480 --> 00:41:00.119
Yeah, Genesis chapter six mentions that it says that John's

671
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:07.599
roam the earth in those days? You know, so who's

672
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.519
to say that? I mean, we all know the story

673
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:13.239
of the flood. We all know that Noah and his

674
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:16.599
sons repopulated the earth. We don't know the genes that

675
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:19.039
they carried. We have no idea. We don't know what

676
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:21.760
could have you know, I threw this at my uncle

677
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:23.800
not too long ago. I see. We don't know what

678
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:27.719
vowels of the earth where someone could have hidden. We

679
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:32.400
don't know. Only God knows. We don't know so and

680
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:34.920
the not.

681
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:37.679
We don't know if it's if it's end days or not.

682
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.239
But and days will be like the days of Noah.

683
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:44.679
And it makes you think why it says that.

684
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:48.079
Right, we don't know everything he created. We just don't.

685
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.679
And there's so many things that are mentioned that I'm

686
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.480
not a scholar. I'm a Christian. I don't fully understand

687
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.400
everything that I read. I admit that I try to

688
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:02.199
ask Him for clarification and for wisdom to understand. But

689
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:05.400
then I can read the same verse half a dozen

690
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.480
times and get a different meaning out of it sure,

691
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:14.239
So you know, I take his word giant. And we've

692
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:17.519
heard all kinds of stories over the years, and history

693
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.559
is filled with them about the giants. And I've read

694
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.360
things around here about people having not too far from

695
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:30.880
where I live now, having seen large hairy man beast

696
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:35.800
kill dogs carry dog head off across the road in

697
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:40.400
front of somebody. You know, so you see it all

698
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:42.519
the time? Why doubt that it exists?

699
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:43.599
Absolutely?

700
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:47.000
I know what I thought. You can't tell me otherwise.

701
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.559
I know what I thought. It's that once you see it,

702
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:52.000
it's going to stick with you for life.

703
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.920
I agree. It's one of those things where people start

704
00:42:55.960 --> 00:43:01.000
seeing certain things and then you have to agree. Then

705
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.679
everyone has to agree that the Bible is true if

706
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:06.880
you start seeing certain things right, And I think that's

707
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:10.079
that might be a reason why some of this gets

708
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:13.639
shut down, you know. Oh yeah, out of the news.

709
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.880
But that's that's a that's a whole discussion in itself.

710
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:20.960
So let's let's move on. I think now might be

711
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.840
a good time to move on to You've had some

712
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:27.280
things continue to happen in your life as you as

713
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:27.920
you get older.

714
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:33.679
Yes, I'm moved away from here for and lived in

715
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:38.320
a couple of different I lived in South Alabama for

716
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:42.199
roughly twenty three years or so, and then I lived

717
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:46.800
out west for about a year, and we came back

718
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:51.119
and searched all over the county that I grew up

719
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:54.880
in and finally found a place and bought a home

720
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:59.840
that had been vacant for roughly three years. And that

721
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.480
was in two thousand and four, is when we moved

722
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:10.440
in here. And the only person that had been on

723
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.639
the property that we were aware of in that period

724
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.960
of time was a landscaper who kept the yard cut

725
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:22.719
and kept the flower beds in some order. As they

726
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.199
were trying to sell the property and my son and

727
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:33.119
I and I mentioned before my son is autistic. He

728
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:35.519
was really trying to decide on what bedroom he wanted.

729
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:39.280
There's three bedrooms in the home, and on that side

730
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:43.119
of the house, the south end, there's two that are

731
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:44.960
basically identical, and he didn't know if he wanted to

732
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:46.079
be on the east side of the house of the

733
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:49.679
west side of the house. He was nine going on

734
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:55.800
ten years old, and we were sitting in the bedroom

735
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:58.280
on the west side. He finally decided and we were

736
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:00.280
working on it and setting all of this stuff up

737
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.280
and It was in the spring of two thousand and five,

738
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:08.320
and we were sitting there talking and organizing things, and

739
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:16.880
suddenly we heard this bomp, just loud, thunderous footsteps and

740
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:24.239
it shook the side of the house. And I immediately thought, no,

741
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:28.760
you know, and I had watched programs and was familiar

742
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.519
with you know, Like I said, I've been fascinated most

743
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:35.000
of my adult life with finding out what I could

744
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:39.960
about the Sasquatch, the Bigfoot, and I thought, no, that's

745
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:41.559
the only thing I can think of that could be

746
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.199
that heavy, that would make something shake.

747
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:48.920
Big for society. Who would be right back after these messages.

748
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.840
You could tell it was by Peedle because of the

749
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:16.840
way it was the footsteps. Our neighbor had Clydesdale's in

750
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:25.119
a pasture a little ways from there, and I knew

751
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:28.559
it wasn't them, because you know, horsesteps sounds way different

752
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:33.199
than something by Peedle. And it frightened him and he said, well,

753
00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:35.159
should I move to the other bedroom, you know, because

754
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.840
he didn't understand that as it passed the house it

755
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:41.320
was going to shake the wall in that room too. Well.

756
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:44.239
I went and looked. I didn't see anything. I'd stayed

757
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:45.679
with him a little bit, but I'm sure by the

758
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:47.559
time I got to the front door that it was

759
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:52.599
already in the woods on the other side. And but

760
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:56.519
that occurred, we didn't I didn't hear anything else after that.

761
00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:59.519
Now I'm not going to say everything is the Sasquat's

762
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:03.400
Big Food, whatever you want to call him. But that

763
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.039
was something large that made my house shake, and it

764
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.440
was by people. So you can let your mind go

765
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:12.079
where you want your mind to go. Then later on

766
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:14.800
in the summer of that year, my husband we we

767
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:18.159
had we have a shop and he had it opened

768
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:20.280
up on both ends. It was hot, and he was

769
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:25.719
working and he heard a whoop. He knew what he

770
00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:33.920
was hearing because he'd you know, heard him on TV

771
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:38.840
by that point. And he came in the house wide eyed,

772
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:40.519
and he said, did you hear that? And I was

773
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:42.639
preparing dinner and I said, no, I didn't. I didn't

774
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:45.960
hear anything. I was at the kitchen window and he said,

775
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:48.280
you did not hear that. I said, no, I didn't

776
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.199
hear anything. And then he described what he heard, and

777
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:54.519
I was like, that's interesting. Now where we live now

778
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:02.400
behind our home is wooded. There is a creek. Geographically

779
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:06.599
there is a number of smaller creeks that this creek

780
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:09.679
that I mean really small, I guess you say, streams

781
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:13.679
that feed into this creek and then it feeds into

782
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:18.679
a larger one down towards the main highway south of US,

783
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:23.599
and then west of US you get into several miles

784
00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:26.880
west of US you get into Bankhead National Forest. But

785
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:31.519
all of this, I don't know if you can hear

786
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:34.039
that noise, but I have somebody that just don't seem

787
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:48.000
to know how to leave me along at the moment. Anyway,

788
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:52.159
we have looked at the topographic area. A lot of woods,

789
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.440
chicken houses around, not real close to the house, but

790
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:59.840
within a couple of miles. But we just have a lot,

791
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:03.360
a lot of watershed, you know, the creeks and streams

792
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:08.320
and stuff around here. Directly down behind my home. It's

793
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:13.679
the deepest part of this one particular creek. We've had

794
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:16.679
a neighbor or an old neighbor that used to fish there.

795
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:22.119
He would tell us that he would go down and

796
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:24.880
he would catch brim and I don't know what of

797
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:27.199
the little fish, but he would just go down and

798
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:29.119
fish just to be fishing, and said he didn't eat them,

799
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:31.360
But we do know that there's fish down there, so

800
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:35.360
if there's anything that's down there, they have a source

801
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.960
of fish, and probably crayfish, because you know there's crayfish

802
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:44.599
all in the little streams and stuff around here. The

803
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:49.159
two thousand and four whoop of yeah, five five whoop,

804
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.679
and then we didn't really hear anything else. But now

805
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.880
I have apple trees, two large ones that were on

806
00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:58.920
the property, and when we moved here, and I planted

807
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:02.360
peach trees that now bear. I have five peach trees,

808
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.639
and I have five more apple trees. I have figs,

809
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:10.039
I have blueberries. My yard is just full fruits, also garden,

810
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:14.920
so I have ample food on site. And then we

811
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:19.519
have chickens here that we you know, we get eggs from.

812
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:26.440
We've had several incidents over the years that you go, hmmm, bigfoot,

813
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:32.960
not bigfoot, you know. I actually wrote a bunch of

814
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:38.400
stuff down because of I think I just told you

815
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.119
that my I was having some memory issues, but thankfully

816
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:47.440
that's getting better. I was trying to see when the

817
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:57.159
next one after two thousand and five, because I found

818
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:59.559
it kind of interesting to look and kind of go

819
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:03.679
back over for them to see just what all had occurred.

820
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:13.840
We had foster children for a little while, for about

821
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.199
three years, and the little girl used to say, Papa

822
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:21.079
was looking in the window. And it would be late

823
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.159
at night. You could hear her like eleven o'clock, eleven

824
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:27.400
thirty tell And I didn't know I could never catch

825
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:29.880
anybody looking in her window. So I told her to

826
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.840
say go away, Papa, goo away, and so I could

827
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.679
hear it, eleven eleven thirty, say go away, Papa, go away.

828
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.519
When i'd hear her, I would get up and go look.

829
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:42.599
But by the time I got to that side and

830
00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:45.519
got to her room where she was at, they wouldn't

831
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:48.639
be anybody out there. I've often wondered if that was

832
00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:51.519
one looking in the window at her, you know, I

833
00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:54.360
wondered if it could have been somebody we have a

834
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:56.800
camp around not too far from us that you know,

835
00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:58.760
they might have walked, because we've had people that just

836
00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:01.400
stroll into our yard that that go walking and don't

837
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:06.119
know where they're at. Wondering if maybe there was somebody

838
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:07.800
from over there that could have come over and been

839
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.559
looking in But as I said earlier, not everything is bigfoot.

840
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.639
But I've wondered if that could have been because as

841
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:18.000
a child and in the dark, if all she could

842
00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:20.159
see was the hairy face, she might have equated that

843
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:22.280
would be in a popall. She was two and a

844
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:29.079
half three years old, very verbal, often wondered if she

845
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:32.800
could have Also during that time, my husband was outside

846
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:37.039
working in a shop on some electronics and I went

847
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.679
out to get him to come in for dinner. And

848
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:42.920
as I went out, he was coming out saying, did

849
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.039
you hear the whoop? And I said, no, I did not.

850
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:50.679
I'm sorry once again I missed hearing a woop, But

851
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.320
he declared that he was hearing whoops come out of

852
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:58.679
the woods. Well. Then a few years ago the man

853
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:02.800
that only campground decided he was going to fence some

854
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:06.280
of the property that he owned that he hadn't been fenced.

855
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.039
And my son and I had been picking wild blackberries

856
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.840
ever since we lived here, all around the property and

857
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:13.960
down around the edge of this gentleman's property. He's a

858
00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:18.000
hitting care so we were picking them and on the

859
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:22.719
woodline there was a lot of really large blackberries there

860
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.400
that we looked forward to getting to pick every year,

861
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:31.880
and he bulldozed all of that down into the woods.

862
00:53:33.639 --> 00:53:37.800
We went down and look just to see how far

863
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:40.360
he cleared back. We took our golf cart and rode

864
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:43.639
over there and just checking it out. Well. We went

865
00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:46.199
back the next afternoon to look again. I think my

866
00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:48.119
husband didn't go the first time, so he wanted to

867
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:50.840
go the second time. When we went the second time,

868
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.440
there was an actual upside down tree shoved down in

869
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:58.880
the ground between on the edge of the pile closest

870
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:02.519
to our house. It looked like a cedar tree that

871
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:05.880
all of the limbs had been just somebody taking their

872
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:09.000
hand and just rake down the tree and broke all

873
00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:12.039
the limbs off of it, and then the root ball

874
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.480
up in the air, probably about eight feet tall. It

875
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:17.760
wasn't enormous, but it was about eight think tall and

876
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:27.360
probably ten inches around something like that. I'd heard about

877
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.440
upside down trees, never seen one, but I saw that one.

878
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:33.920
And you know how you don't think about taking pictures

879
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:40.280
of stuff. I'm sorry I didn't take one, but to me,

880
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.239
that was fascinating. Then we had our dog, a puppy

881
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:49.119
we got in. She's fourteen years old, so that would

882
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:57.039
have been twenty eleven. She got out and went down

883
00:54:57.079 --> 00:54:59.079
in the woods. The woods were about thirty feet from

884
00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:03.639
my house at that time. Our back door thirty thirty five,

885
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:09.360
and we have copperheads, or had copperheads then, and I

886
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:10.679
didn't want her to get out down in there and

887
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:14.599
get copperhead bitten. So we were trying to call her back.

888
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:18.440
And there's two trees back there that the way they're

889
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:21.679
positioned together, they're pretty wide, probably about three and a

890
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:25.440
half four feet as you're looking at them. Well, my

891
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:27.079
son went on one side of the house, one end

892
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:28.519
of the house, and I went on the other, calling

893
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:29.800
the dog, trying to get her to come out of

894
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:33.800
the woods. And I looked, and I know what an

895
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:36.599
owl's eyes look like. I know what other animal's owls

896
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:40.119
look like. There was a set of eyes, large eyes,

897
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:47.119
sideways looking out from behind a tree, one of those

898
00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:50.559
trees that were right there together. It was dark. I'm

899
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:55.239
pretty blind at night, but that set of eyes was

900
00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:02.400
kind of that orangish amber red color, and they were

901
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:07.320
not you know, our's eyes are really round. This was

902
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:11.480
not the really round eyes, more of the little almond

903
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:15.679
kind of almond shaped to it. But I guess the

904
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:18.559
good comparison to the sizes, you know, like bicycle reflections or

905
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:23.400
reflections you put on a mailbox close to that size,

906
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.280
and they were probably five inches four to five inches apart.

907
00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:30.440
They were wide apart. I'm guessing I'm not real good

908
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:33.519
with that, but I'm guessing. Well. I looked at it

909
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:37.840
and I said, look, I'm not gonna bother you. We

910
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:41.119
just need the puppy. Please leave the puppy alone. I

911
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.320
called my son from the other side to go around

912
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:45.360
the house, come over here and stand by me. Let's

913
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.000
get the dog in and get in the house. But

914
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:51.519
I really do believe that that was one looking out

915
00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:56.920
from behind a tree. We used to shop late at night.

916
00:56:57.159 --> 00:57:02.800
Because I've said it on another program. The hulngas are

917
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:05.400
not at Walmart running around at eleven o'clock at night. Okay,

918
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:10.079
I don't have to worry about dodging people, the kids

919
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:12.719
and stuff that are not minding their parents. We would

920
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:15.079
come in and occasionally we would see something peeking out

921
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:18.840
from behind a tree over on the northwest side of

922
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:22.639
our yard, and I just tell my son, let's get

923
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.920
in the house. He said, Mama, do you see that?

924
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:29.159
Do you see those eyes? Because he became aware of it,

925
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:34.280
we also would sit up late at night and watch TV.

926
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.480
During this same time period. He and I like science fiction.

927
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:42.400
We like thrillers things like that. Dad, he's more of

928
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.679
a hallmark man. But we would sit in our den,

929
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:48.639
which is a way it's from him and where he's

930
00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:50.039
at in the house, and we would sit in here

931
00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:54.119
and have popcorn and watch the movies, and things would

932
00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:58.119
brush up against the house or slap the house. The backside.

933
00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:02.079
That part of the house did not have lights on it.

934
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:04.960
The front yard. I jokingly say, you can read a

935
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:10.400
newspaper in the backside is dark. Not now, but then

936
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:13.760
it was very dark, but you could hear. I mean,

937
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:17.039
it would slap the house. You could tell it was

938
00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:20.159
something hitting it. He'd say, Mama, what's that? And I

939
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:21.880
would just I would say, oh, a gear, you're probably

940
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:25.000
just ran into the house. You tell your kids things

941
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.880
to keep from scaring them out of their wits. I mean,

942
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:32.360
I never saw it, but it went on. That was

943
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:37.960
and it's kind of seasonal. It's spring and fall more

944
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:44.519
than anything. And we would hear it just about every

945
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:47.800
night that we were in here, and we would be

946
00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:51.039
in here a lot. He was homeschooled, so we'd set

947
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:54.719
our own hours, so you know, he we would be

948
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:59.320
up late. We'd start our school work at nine so,

949
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:01.159
like I said, we had our own little schedule that

950
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:07.320
we did, and we would hear it quite often. Was

951
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:10.079
it one? Was it not one? I kind of tend

952
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.719
to believe that maybe it was. We did have a

953
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:14.639
lot of deer that came on the property. Back then.

954
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:20.679
We had chickens removed from our chicken coop. Early one

955
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:24.559
morning we went out to gather eggs six point thirty

956
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:27.880
and he said, Mama, I got chickens missing. We started

957
00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:32.079
looking for the chickens, and we had maintained a portion

958
00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:35.519
of our neighbor's property before he fenced it. He pushed

959
00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:37.159
all that stuff back by the way I talked about

960
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:39.480
it earlier. He never He didn't get to fence it

961
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:43.239
till like twenty nineteen or something's when he finally did that.

962
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:46.719
So it was quite a few years between preparing it

963
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:50.079
to be fenced and when he actually did it. But

964
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:56.440
we found the grass was probably or Johnson grass, I guess.

965
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:59.440
It was seated probably three feet three and a half

966
00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:02.880
feet tall out in that corner. It was in the fall,

967
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:08.159
and we found where something with large feet had stepped

968
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:15.039
large strides down a row, an old fence row. The

969
01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:17.679
fence was there, old barbed wire, and there was honeysuckles

970
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:22.440
all growing on it, vines, and it went down the

971
01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:24.559
edge of that towards the woods, and then there laid

972
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:27.760
the chickens. They were just laying in the grass like

973
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:33.119
they had just been dropped there, not moving, and the

974
01:00:33.119 --> 01:00:36.800
footprints went on past them where the grass had been parted,

975
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.280
and you could follow the steps all the way to

976
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:40.199
the woods.

977
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:46.679
Were their necks broken or anything out of the ordinary.

978
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:51.039
No, they were perfectly fine. Oh, we picked them up

979
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:52.280
and brought them back to the coop.

980
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.599
Big for society would be right back. After these messages.

981
01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:14.360
A friend of mine said, I have never heard of

982
01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:19.280
them not killing the chickens. I said, those chickens sing days.

983
01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:24.079
They were just sitting there in that tall grass. But

984
01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:27.440
the footsteps I would gander, I would guess were probably

985
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:31.480
four feet apart, four to four and a half and

986
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:37.320
it was large steps. Well, I mean this was sporadic

987
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:45.599
activity over you know those years we moved away. Well,

988
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:50.039
we didn't we own the property, but my brother unexpectedly

989
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:57.079
passed away in twenty seventeen, and my younger brother had

990
01:01:57.079 --> 01:02:01.079
passed away ten years prior to that, and my mother

991
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:03.159
had suffered a heart attack when the youngest one died,

992
01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:08.719
and then she was not feeling well when my other

993
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:14.679
brother passed away, and she was nervous about living alone,

994
01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:18.760
so we decided that we would go over and spend

995
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:21.280
some nights with her, my son and I so she

996
01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:25.679
wouldn't always by herself. Well, then she went to cardiologists

997
01:02:25.719 --> 01:02:28.199
and he told her she needed open heart surgery in

998
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:32.280
August of that year. So at that point we made

999
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:37.000
the decision to just basically shut down the house and

1000
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:39.360
move over there to stay with her when she got

1001
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:43.639
home and take care of her. And I had turkeys

1002
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:47.719
and I had chickens here, and we left them here

1003
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:49.599
and we would come back together our eggs and check

1004
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:51.119
on the new feed them, and you'll take care of

1005
01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:55.199
them daily, and while mom was in the hospital, and

1006
01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:58.360
we did come back over and say some while she

1007
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:00.519
was in the hospital. And while we didn't want to

1008
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:09.639
leave either place totally unoccupied. So good reason because the

1009
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.320
first night we spent at my mother's without her there,

1010
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:16.760
we were broke into while we were there in bed,

1011
01:03:18.320 --> 01:03:20.000
I met the person at the front door as he

1012
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:29.199
broke through the lock. And anyway, prior to my brother dying,

1013
01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:31.440
he told us about seeing something on all fours come

1014
01:03:31.519 --> 01:03:33.320
out of the bean patch and run back down it.

1015
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.079
So that could have been activity over there as well,

1016
01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:41.239
and that her place is three or four miles from

1017
01:03:41.239 --> 01:03:46.960
where we lived. So we kept coming back over here

1018
01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:49.159
to check on our turkeys and our chickens, and we

1019
01:03:49.159 --> 01:03:53.039
would come back and our chickens would be out. Something

1020
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:56.760
was letting our chickens out, and we were We had

1021
01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:01.039
fourteen chickens and we were averaging ten to thirteen eggs

1022
01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:05.880
a day, and we were not getting any eggs. They

1023
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:09.559
were not molting. It was like we went from getting

1024
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:13.480
our eggs to no eggs. Our neighbor had a camera

1025
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:16.239
system and she said, nobody's coming down the driveway. You

1026
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:18.400
don't have anybody going down the driveway, but you guys

1027
01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:21.639
to check on your place and the mail carrier and

1028
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.679
they didn't come into the yard. So something was getting

1029
01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:28.760
all of our eggs, and something was letting our chickens out,

1030
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:33.119
and then they started letting our turkeys out. This happened

1031
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.880
several times. We'd round them all back up, put them up,

1032
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:38.880
and they had those little slide latches, you know, like

1033
01:04:38.960 --> 01:04:42.440
the little I grew up call on my hasp. You

1034
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:44.400
would just slide it, and you had to push it

1035
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:46.920
to a lot position. Well, my son was bad to

1036
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:48.960
just and he still is to just slide it and

1037
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:51.280
not push it to the lot position. So you could

1038
01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:54.559
just slide it and the door would swing open, and

1039
01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:57.679
that's what we had. So after we dealt with with

1040
01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:00.960
rounding up chickens and turkeys for three weeks, we moved

1041
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:04.960
them over to where my mom lived, and then we

1042
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:06.559
wound up having to get rid of them because they

1043
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:12.039
worried her constantly. But I wondered if that if it

1044
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:14.559
was coming up from the woods and helping itself to eggs.

1045
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:18.320
And we did go from fourteen chickens down I think

1046
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:23.519
to eleven before we moved them, so we wound up

1047
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:27.840
with less chickens to move. We did lose one hen

1048
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:30.599
turkey out of all that, but we don't know if

1049
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:33.280
that was just from you know, her getting far enough

1050
01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:37.280
away we couldn't find her. So we had that occurred.

1051
01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:44.320
But when we came back home in twenty nineteen, we

1052
01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.639
fenced the entire property. Now I have a dough that

1053
01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:54.400
brings or that brought her little famed in the yard

1054
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.760
every year, and we still saw deer come on the

1055
01:05:57.760 --> 01:05:59.760
property some because we don't close our big gates. We

1056
01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:02.880
have two gates and we leave them open. But the

1057
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.360
fence around the property is probably five and a half

1058
01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:08.960
six feet high with barbed wire on top, and it

1059
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:12.599
goes down almost I think our fence stops twenty feet

1060
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:17.400
from the creek in the back. The back fence well

1061
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:23.239
in twenty I think it was a spring of twenty

1062
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:28.079
nineteen is when I got the footprints. I have a

1063
01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:33.320
seventeen inch by six c inch footprint. My blueberries were

1064
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:39.000
stripped and it had been raining and I got a trackway.

1065
01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:43.599
I have a left footprint, a right footprint, and half

1066
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:46.599
of a left footprint. Again, the best footprint I got

1067
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:49.360
a picture of it was the right footprint. Before I

1068
01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:51.159
could get to the house and get my cell phone

1069
01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:53.000
to take a picture, my husband ran through it with

1070
01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:56.760
his truck and the treads on the truck are one inch.

1071
01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:00.400
But it didn't know. It damaged the footprint a little bit,

1072
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:03.760
but you could still see the depression. It depressed the

1073
01:07:03.800 --> 01:07:05.480
soil deeper than the truck did.

1074
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:08.559
Really, so I know.

1075
01:07:08.599 --> 01:07:14.559
That we yes, Oh wow, so I've kept that I

1076
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:18.599
carried on my phone all the time. But yeah, I've

1077
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:20.840
got it when I first found it. I was cutting

1078
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:23.239
grass when I found it, and I was like, oh

1079
01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:25.679
my gosh, such a clear footprint, and I like broke

1080
01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:27.840
my neck. And he had just said I'm going to

1081
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:30.480
get diesel fuel, and I was like okay. And I

1082
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:32.679
didn't think about him going around that part of the

1083
01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:35.239
yard to go out the other gate, and he did.

1084
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:38.239
He circled the yard and went across it. So I

1085
01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:42.800
have the truck tread in the bigfootprint, but yeah, I

1086
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:47.119
have a really nice seventeen inch by. Like I said,

1087
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:51.639
the hill was about six inches across. Toes were clearly defined.

1088
01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:54.039
The big toes. You could see where the soil was

1089
01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:57.800
kind of a clay sandy lone area, and when it

1090
01:07:57.880 --> 01:07:59.760
mashed its toes down, you kind of pushed a little

1091
01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:04.639
chunk of the dirt up around the edge of the footprint.

1092
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:08.360
It's cool. I didn't cast it, didn't think about it,

1093
01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:13.199
but I did get it on the phone. And then

1094
01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:16.159
in the spring of the next I believe it was

1095
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.600
the next twenty twenty, my son got another footprint. It

1096
01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:22.840
was a wet footprint that he took going into my shop.

1097
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:25.960
He looked out the door and said, somebody's trying to

1098
01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:27.840
get in your shop. And he opened the door and said, hey,

1099
01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:30.520
what are you doing? And it was he thought it

1100
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:32.840
was a person dressed all in all black. It was raining,

1101
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:37.399
and it ran between two buildings. But then he went

1102
01:08:37.439 --> 01:08:40.560
out to see if the door was indeed locked, and

1103
01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:42.439
he came back in and got his phone. He said, Mama,

1104
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:45.960
there's a footprint out there that's weird. And it was

1105
01:08:46.039 --> 01:08:51.239
eleven inches long. The big toe stuck out further than

1106
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:54.479
the other four toes, and it was five inches across

1107
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:55.000
at the hill.

1108
01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:03.640
When you're these prints, are you finding multiples of them

1109
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:05.720
as well?

1110
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:08.399
Not on that one which we I didn't go out there,

1111
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:10.239
so he didn't know to look around the base of

1112
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:13.079
the steps. That one print was just up on the

1113
01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:17.600
concrete steps and it ran, like I said, between the

1114
01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:21.520
two buildings that are there. The other one I found multiples,

1115
01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:24.920
you know. I found the three and they were just

1116
01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:30.079
in that clay sandy that was still moist enough for

1117
01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:35.399
it to compress there. So and it was directly out

1118
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:39.039
at an angle from my blueberry bushes. Now I tied

1119
01:09:39.199 --> 01:09:42.399
nets the next year. I believe it was over my

1120
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:48.239
blueberry bushes burdenetting and we tied them down around the

1121
01:09:48.279 --> 01:09:53.079
base to make sure nothing got the blueberries. We were

1122
01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:55.359
tie them in the afternoons. After we gathered the blueberries

1123
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:59.399
off of them. The next day the nets would be

1124
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:04.560
loose thrown on the ground. Now raccoon's not untying those

1125
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:06.239
and throwing them on the ground. The blueberry bushes are

1126
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:09.600
about four and a half feet tall, four to four

1127
01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:12.199
and a half feet tall, and they're large bushes and

1128
01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:17.079
they're loaded. So something with fingers had to be untying

1129
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:21.439
those and throwing them off. Yeah.

1130
01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:26.680
Absolutely. How how far apart again, were you said there

1131
01:10:26.680 --> 01:10:29.560
are multiple footprints? Were they pretty far apart?

1132
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:34.399
Or oh, yeah, they were? They were. I couldn't have

1133
01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:38.800
stepped that far, and I'm five eleven and my husband

1134
01:10:38.840 --> 01:10:45.159
couldn't have. I'm gonna say, golly, it's been a while back,

1135
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:46.960
and I hadn't thought about measuring I didn't think about

1136
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:51.159
measuring them. Probably three and a half four feet if

1137
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:54.479
they were bitter that much, if not further than four.

1138
01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:57.680
And they were really far apart. Now, the one that

1139
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:04.520
was the half of one, it was the the toes

1140
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:08.239
in about halfway back on the foot. I think the

1141
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:12.159
hill had hit a rock like a standstone standstone that's

1142
01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:14.920
out there, is why it didn't make an impression on

1143
01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:17.640
that one. And then it had stepped on it was

1144
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:21.840
headed towards the eastern gate on our property, and it's

1145
01:11:22.039 --> 01:11:25.359
the woods right outside, probably twenty five feet outside that

1146
01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:29.840
is a pine thicket that it could have gone into.

1147
01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:37.520
Man, if you were to draw a line connecting those footprints,

1148
01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:38.600
what would the line look like?

1149
01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:47.520
Almost straight? But not exactly straight? Wow, I mean they

1150
01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:50.479
were just a little bit offset. You know. It's not

1151
01:11:50.479 --> 01:11:56.680
not not luck ours Yep.

1152
01:11:58.359 --> 01:12:02.199
When one hit the side of your house, were you

1153
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:04.840
able to check if there was a handprint on the

1154
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:05.760
side of the house at all?

1155
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:10.760
We never found anything out there. Now, I had a

1156
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:15.560
handprint on my car, on the side of my car

1157
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:20.560
and the glass I drove a flex and the way

1158
01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:22.920
I described it is it looked like it had been

1159
01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:27.199
on top of the car and reached down its hand

1160
01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:32.439
it would have been its right hand onto the back window,

1161
01:12:32.680 --> 01:12:36.279
the back side window of the car. The heel of

1162
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:40.439
the hand hit and then it hit about three inches

1163
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:44.680
down from the corner and the glass was cracked there.

1164
01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:50.399
Then the fingers the thumb ran parallel with the edge

1165
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:53.880
of the glass and the fingers were down further on

1166
01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:58.039
the glass, and I've had a lot of mobility issues,

1167
01:12:58.119 --> 01:13:00.760
and my son went out and tried to take the picture,

1168
01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:03.279
and bless his heart, he put his hand in such

1169
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:05.640
a manner that and I've got a picture of the heel,

1170
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:09.159
kind of the heel, the hand and the thumb. But

1171
01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:11.439
that car went through the car washed and that greasy

1172
01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:13.760
handprint stay. But it was obvious what it was. It

1173
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:20.600
was a huge handprint. My hand is large. It was

1174
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:22.560
larger than my husband's. He's six or four and he

1175
01:13:22.600 --> 01:13:26.840
has very large hands, and it was larger than his.

1176
01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:30.359
I was just shocked. I thought it had gotten on

1177
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:34.560
the car. But then the more we looked, a friend,

1178
01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:38.199
Greg House, said that he thought that maybe it had

1179
01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:42.039
reached over the car versus be on it. And I said, well,

1180
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:44.279
that's kind of strange, but that's the only way I

1181
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:47.399
knew to describe it. Was it, you know, like maybe

1182
01:13:47.439 --> 01:13:49.000
had been on it. But there was no marks on

1183
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:53.920
the other side. There was just that one handprint. That

1184
01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:58.119
was around twenty twenty. It's because I got that car

1185
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:01.520
in twenty nineteen, so I think that was around when

1186
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:07.000
we found that. And I had to take fantastic and

1187
01:14:07.039 --> 01:14:08.520
rub it off to get it off.

1188
01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:10.079
Wow.

1189
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:15.399
So it was greasy, and but you could see, you know,

1190
01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:20.840
like all the ridges in our hands, the you could

1191
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:25.000
see all that in that especially in that heelprint, the

1192
01:14:25.079 --> 01:14:27.680
dermal ridges in it.

1193
01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:31.279
Yeah, oh absolutely, and just the fact that it was

1194
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:34.239
it was really hard to clean it off. I mean

1195
01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:37.119
that is is a big thing that you care as well.

1196
01:14:37.520 --> 01:14:40.960
It's always hard to clean those prints off.

1197
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:47.239
And I had always said that I wanted to see

1198
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:50.000
another one, and I did. I didn't get to see

1199
01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:52.199
it as close, but I have seen another one since

1200
01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:59.560
we normally, as I told you, we I don't mean

1201
01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:03.079
to be head when I'm speaking, but I'm I'm trying

1202
01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:05.840
to think how to word everything and make it make sense. Now.

1203
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:07.520
I told you we had all the fruit trees and things.

1204
01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:09.960
We watch our trees to get ready to go out

1205
01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:13.479
and gather all of our fruit so I can preserve it.

1206
01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:17.479
And we had a treat this previous year that I

1207
01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:20.479
had told it. I talked to my trees. I said,

1208
01:15:20.479 --> 01:15:23.319
if you do not produce fruit this next season, I'm

1209
01:15:23.319 --> 01:15:24.199
cutting you down.

1210
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:28.439
Big for society will be right back after these messages.

1211
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:48.359
Well, last year, that thing was loaded, I mean loaded.

1212
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:51.520
So I had gone by when it started. They started

1213
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:54.520
turning the peaches and kept checking it, checking it, and

1214
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:56.399
I finally tell my husband. I said, I think Saturday,

1215
01:15:56.439 --> 01:15:59.399
we're going to gather all the peaches and that way

1216
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:03.439
I can put them up. Well, went out there on Friday,

1217
01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:06.640
picked one and I said, yeah, we're going together on tomorrow.

1218
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:09.960
Went out Saturday together. Our peaches. They weren't a peach

1219
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:14.880
on the tree. They it was stripped clean. Okay, our squirrels.

1220
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:17.680
I know what they do to mapcon trees. Squirrels don't

1221
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:22.039
strip a tree overnight. I don't have neighbors that come

1222
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:24.720
into the yard open the gates and come in and

1223
01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:29.000
do things like that. The tallest part of the trees

1224
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:33.239
maybe twelve feet. Then it cleaned the tree. That's not

1225
01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:36.159
the first time that we've had our apples and peach

1226
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:39.199
trees cleaned, and our blueberry bushes. This has been happening

1227
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:42.760
since we've been back, and they were mature enough to produce. Well,

1228
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:48.359
we just don't. I mean, we're feeding whatever wildlife it

1229
01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:51.399
is that's stripping them.

1230
01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:53.960
Wow, twelve feet so it's high up.

1231
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:59.800
Yeah, yeah, I find that interesting that they just disappear overnight.

1232
01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:04.800
So they don't mess with the figs though. That's what

1233
01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:06.760
I've told someone else not long ago. I said, you know,

1234
01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:09.479
I can get a harvest of figs. They just don't

1235
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:15.840
seem to mess with the figs, but everything else they stripped.

1236
01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:21.439
I have two apple trees. They don't produce great because

1237
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:25.560
they're older, but they do produce fruit. We never get

1238
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:27.319
the fruit off them. We'll get a couple, you know,

1239
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:29.319
my son, I'll get a couple as he goes by.

1240
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:32.479
They'll be stripped whenever they look like they're about ready.

1241
01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:34.439
But the peaches is the big thing. I think I've

1242
01:17:34.439 --> 01:17:37.520
gotten the peach harvest twice since my trees have been

1243
01:17:37.560 --> 01:17:40.119
old enough for me to get peaches from them myself.

1244
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:44.840
They get stripped, like all in one night. They're gone.

1245
01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:49.039
So tell me what's doing that.

1246
01:17:51.720 --> 01:17:56.000
I mean, as you said yourself, not everything's bigfoot, but

1247
01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:58.760
sometimes you hear things where it's like, okay, then what

1248
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.560
is it? You know what else is stripping a tree

1249
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.920
up to twelve feet tall? That's nuts.

1250
01:18:06.479 --> 01:18:12.079
I don't know exactly. But now the interesting thing now,

1251
01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:14.199
I said, I'd always wanted to really see one again.

1252
01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:19.279
In November. Oh and we have maypops. Are you familiar

1253
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:21.680
with naypops.

1254
01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:24.119
I've heard of it. I just can't pass it what it.

1255
01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:27.640
Is, Okay. They look kind of like a keyway, only

1256
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:31.399
their lighter color. And I can't think of the flower.

1257
01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:35.159
I've gone blank on the flowers. It's the fruit of

1258
01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:40.279
a flowering vine. Well, we have elderberries as well. I

1259
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:42.920
also have elderberries that I planted to be tame for

1260
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.039
me to harvest, and then I have elderberries growing in

1261
01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:47.520
other places on the property along with wild blueberries I

1262
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:51.159
mean not blueberries, blackberries. In the back, we had made

1263
01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:54.560
a burn pile and it's overgrown on the ends around

1264
01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:58.319
it is large, and there's some large elderberry bushes that

1265
01:18:58.439 --> 01:19:02.640
I'd say that became trees. We had been watching and

1266
01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:08.000
there was a maypop vine passion passion flower passion, so

1267
01:19:08.119 --> 01:19:11.600
I don't I'm not sure. Anyway, it was loaded. There

1268
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:14.399
was probably about fifty of the maypops or so on it,

1269
01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:17.319
and my son kept saying, what do they taste like?

1270
01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:19.800
And I said, well, when they get ripe enough, I'll

1271
01:19:19.840 --> 01:19:21.920
let you taste one. We'll gather them and you can

1272
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:24.399
taste them, because I said, people eat the fruit when

1273
01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:28.720
they're ripe. We came into November before Thanksgiving. We've been

1274
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:33.680
shopping and we were later coming home than normal for us.

1275
01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:35.880
We'd usually try to get here before my husband gets home.

1276
01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:41.119
And we pulled up and our property slopes in the back.

1277
01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:43.239
It used to be a fill and they had terraced

1278
01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:48.159
rows or pasture, and so you can imagine how the

1279
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:51.840
terraces drop off, you know, And so that's probably two

1280
01:19:51.880 --> 01:19:56.880
the three terraces down back there where that sat. And

1281
01:19:56.920 --> 01:19:59.159
I looked and I said, look, Jeffrey, we have a

1282
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:04.000
friend the Maypops. You could see head and shoulders black

1283
01:20:04.159 --> 01:20:07.960
facing away from us. I said, quietly, go in the house.

1284
01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:11.840
Don't say anything, just go in the house. And I said,

1285
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:15.000
don't let the dogs out, just go in. It was

1286
01:20:15.079 --> 01:20:19.439
down there eating the maypops. When we watched. He'd got

1287
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:22.359
back to our back window and looked. I said, once

1288
01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.239
it's gone from the Maypops, you can let the dogs out,

1289
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:28.119
but don't let them out till you know it's away

1290
01:20:28.119 --> 01:20:31.119
from there. It probably stayed down there about fifteen minutes.

1291
01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:34.800
We went down there. On Saturday, a friend of mine

1292
01:20:34.840 --> 01:20:36.840
came over. She wanted some seeds because she wanted to

1293
01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:39.640
plant some. We went down just to get the said

1294
01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:41.359
if there was any left for her to take home

1295
01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:46.039
and dry and plant. There was maybe there was two

1296
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:49.439
rotten ones on the ground, one further over in the

1297
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:54.079
pile toward the burn pile that it hadn't gotten, and

1298
01:20:54.119 --> 01:20:57.920
then a couple maybe five total left on that whole vine.

1299
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:00.479
And like I said, there'd been about fifty in there.

1300
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:05.199
It cleaned those things up. I figured that was the

1301
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:07.880
closest I would or the best I would see one again.

1302
01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:12.000
That was it. Now. Our dogs kept running the edge

1303
01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:13.760
of the woods. They wouldn't go in the woods, and

1304
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:16.000
I have a little docks and he loves to chase

1305
01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:19.199
the rabbits. He'll go anywhere. He didn't care. He stopped

1306
01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.920
going into the woods around that time. He would just

1307
01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:24.920
run the edge and bark, run the edge and bark

1308
01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:32.359
well in I think it was December, no January. We

1309
01:21:32.520 --> 01:21:35.359
have since I told you before the bat was dark.

1310
01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:39.279
We put up a ring camera system all around the

1311
01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:42.720
house and added lights at the back door and the

1312
01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:46.359
end towards the old chicken coop. And my mother in

1313
01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:49.000
law has moved up here and living in camper out

1314
01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:55.800
at one end of our house and so we've tried

1315
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:57.920
to light things and you know, make it more secure

1316
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:00.920
and friendly for her to the happens she needed to

1317
01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:02.199
come in, she'd be able to see it come in

1318
01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:05.239
at night and vice versa first to go out there.

1319
01:22:06.520 --> 01:22:09.399
So really the only place that was dark was the

1320
01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:13.119
north end of my home. Well, I was sitting here

1321
01:22:13.159 --> 01:22:16.680
and the cameras kept going off, and I heard a noise.

1322
01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:20.600
It sounded like a tree knock, like you're here on

1323
01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:26.439
TV the tree knocks, And I thought, huh. So I

1324
01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:29.840
started with the front camera and started working my way around,

1325
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:35.560
and when I got to the northwest camera system, I

1326
01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:37.399
turned it on and I was watching it on my

1327
01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:40.359
phone and I enlarged the screen and there stepped out

1328
01:22:40.399 --> 01:22:47.239
from behind two trees and some privet hedge and just

1329
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:51.159
you know, smaller trees, underbrush and stuff. One stepped out.

1330
01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:56.279
I lost it. I was like, oh my word. Well,

1331
01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:58.800
all I could think was screenshot, screenshot, and I kept

1332
01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:01.439
trying to screenshot it, and I couldn't get my screenshot

1333
01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:04.640
to work because I would have gotten a perfect side

1334
01:23:04.680 --> 01:23:09.520
silhouette of this beast standing there. I took off to

1335
01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:11.159
the bedroom and want my husband up. I said, you've

1336
01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:12.920
got to look at this, so I showed it to him.

1337
01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:14.520
My son came running in there and he got to

1338
01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:17.439
see it, and they were saying it as it was

1339
01:23:17.439 --> 01:23:23.239
turning and walking back into the woods, and I was

1340
01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:26.399
watching it, and I immediately got on the front with

1341
01:23:26.439 --> 01:23:29.239
Greg and I was like, Greg, you're not going to

1342
01:23:29.319 --> 01:23:32.199
believe this. And I was just in I was just

1343
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:37.720
in shock. There was no other way to express it.

1344
01:23:37.840 --> 01:23:42.640
I just didn't know what to think. And I had

1345
01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:45.600
heard whoops a few days before that, and I didn't

1346
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:47.560
think about it. One coming up in the yard inside

1347
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:52.520
the fence, and I watched it. It went down about

1348
01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:55.119
eight to ten feet down into the woods and it

1349
01:23:55.199 --> 01:23:57.479
kept leaning to the left, I mean took leading into

1350
01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:00.479
the right. I could see it moving its right arm

1351
01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:02.960
and you could see it moving its head and it

1352
01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:06.880
was doing something down to the right hand side. And

1353
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:11.560
I called him and he was like, calm down. He

1354
01:24:11.680 --> 01:24:17.279
was getting play by play of what this thing was doing.

1355
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:21.319
I was trying to get screenshots. I got five screenshots.

1356
01:24:21.319 --> 01:24:23.199
They weren't great, but I was getting them off the

1357
01:24:23.239 --> 01:24:25.159
camera system. I didn't know any other way to do it.

1358
01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:28.640
He said, stay in the house. You're seeing something that

1359
01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:31.119
people would die to see. People would just kill to

1360
01:24:31.159 --> 01:24:33.359
see what you're seeing. I said, I don't know what

1361
01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:36.199
it's doing. I said to keys, leaning to the right.

1362
01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:38.199
I can see it's arm go down to the right.

1363
01:24:39.319 --> 01:24:41.239
Occasionally it would stand up and I could see both

1364
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:43.600
arms out to the side, but I would see it

1365
01:24:43.920 --> 01:24:46.319
hand go down to the right. And then I remember

1366
01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:50.960
there's two really large trees that were down there, and

1367
01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:53.680
I said, do you think it's picking mushrooms off those trees?

1368
01:24:54.920 --> 01:24:58.520
You know, because decaying trees we have these brownish looking

1369
01:24:58.560 --> 01:25:02.840
mushrooms growing on them. He said, I don't know, so

1370
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:06.760
I'm watching it. I watched it from it started at

1371
01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:11.319
eleven forty eight, and I watched. I got the screenshots,

1372
01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:15.239
don't and you could see a tree. There's a tree

1373
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:17.479
down that he was blocking the tree with his body.

1374
01:25:17.800 --> 01:25:20.800
I couldn't see that part of the tree, and I

1375
01:25:20.840 --> 01:25:23.079
would see. I would say, if you were looking at

1376
01:25:23.079 --> 01:25:26.720
the tree, it's probably fifteen to twenty inches or so,

1377
01:25:26.840 --> 01:25:30.800
maybe a little more across. He was blocking that. But

1378
01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:35.720
he dug around in whatever he was doing. Close to

1379
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:42.119
an hour, and finally it walked on down in the woods.

1380
01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:46.920
It rained the next day, so my husband and I

1381
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:51.920
went down the following day. It measured where it was

1382
01:25:52.199 --> 01:25:55.680
his head came out on the tree that it came

1383
01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:58.159
out next to you. It measured eight feet from the

1384
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:01.079
ground to where his head was, roughly the top of

1385
01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:04.680
his head was where he was standing. There was three

1386
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:07.840
game trails that kind of converge there at those trees,

1387
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:13.840
so one went due west, one went behind those trees

1388
01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:16.560
he walked out behind, and then there was another one

1389
01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:19.640
that ran at an angle about halfway between the two

1390
01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:23.399
of them, kind of southwest towards back down towards the

1391
01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:27.119
tree the creek. You know, then the time of the

1392
01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:29.119
year that it was in January, it's just leaf litter

1393
01:26:29.199 --> 01:26:30.760
and stuff down there, so you couldn't see if he

1394
01:26:30.800 --> 01:26:34.039
put prints, But those trails were very well packed down.

1395
01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:41.920
So wow, Gearfy went out. I know, I mean I was,

1396
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.560
I was blown away. I was like, I can't believe this.

1397
01:26:45.119 --> 01:26:47.520
So I'm more worried about my fence though. I mean,

1398
01:26:47.600 --> 01:26:49.840
I'm like, do you think I need to get somebody

1399
01:26:49.880 --> 01:26:51.760
to come walk my fence line. I can't walk that

1400
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:56.319
fence line because it's so steep. And the guy said, no,

1401
01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:59.800
don't worry about at eight feet tall, that fence has

1402
01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:02.960
no for him to step over. He's not torn your

1403
01:27:02.960 --> 01:27:07.720
fence up, And I was like, okay. So that was

1404
01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:15.680
on fifteenth ended on the sixteenth. On the seventeenth, we

1405
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:19.800
had four chickens in a coop and Jeffery had added

1406
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.439
one young hen to it to make it five. He

1407
01:27:22.560 --> 01:27:28.319
went out the next morning and found that the youngest

1408
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:32.880
the baby was she was probably sixteen weeks old. That

1409
01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:37.800
hen was gone, no trace of her anywhere, just gone

1410
01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:42.399
out of the coop. Again I mentioned earlier, he doesn't

1411
01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:46.239
lock the little slide latch, didn't mess and these hens

1412
01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:47.800
are not laying. We just don't have the heart to

1413
01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:51.079
do anything with them. We're just letting them exist. Of

1414
01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:55.000
the kind of pets at this point. But that youngest

1415
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:58.399
hen was gone, no sign of her anywhere, no feather trail, nothing,

1416
01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:03.039
She's she's gone. We've never found any remnants of her anywhere.

1417
01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:08.960
On our way out, we noticed about two tenths of

1418
01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:15.159
them all from my home. There is thick structures off

1419
01:28:15.199 --> 01:28:20.359
the main road. My husband had seen them and then

1420
01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:22.520
he pointed them out to me. I got a couple

1421
01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:25.960
of good pictures. There's some trees that are every bitter

1422
01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:32.000
twenty feet long broken in some of these structures large around,

1423
01:28:32.479 --> 01:28:34.319
like if you put your hands together you couldn't get

1424
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:40.000
them around those trees. And we've noticed that those structures

1425
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:43.239
they have increased in numbers since they've started clearing some

1426
01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:44.479
land back behind there.

1427
01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:53.399
This is really wild stuff, I know, and this is.

1428
01:28:53.359 --> 01:28:56.680
Recent and I'm just it's just blown my mind. Then

1429
01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:00.920
this is this year. And then on January twenty eighth,

1430
01:29:01.560 --> 01:29:04.560
we were leaving to go somewhere and we went outside

1431
01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:07.640
and we were just running up to Walmart and it

1432
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:10.319
was seventh. We don't live that twelfthy four, you know,

1433
01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.119
just to make a run up there. Around seven forty eight,

1434
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:17.279
I had a loud whoop. I stepped out the end door. Well,

1435
01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:20.439
either on January thirty first or February first, I can't

1436
01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:24.199
remember which night. It was around ten thirty. I just

1437
01:29:24.239 --> 01:29:26.880
got a feeling I needed to check the cameras. Now,

1438
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:30.640
this one really blew me away, So I started checking

1439
01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:33.520
the I checked the end camera first, and it had

1440
01:29:33.640 --> 01:29:35.199
been recommended that we go ahead and get a bright

1441
01:29:35.279 --> 01:29:36.880
light there. When my husband hadn't found the one he

1442
01:29:36.920 --> 01:29:40.439
wanted to put up there, he was checking different loads

1443
01:29:40.479 --> 01:29:43.960
and stuff, you know, to find them, and so I

1444
01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:47.039
started checking the cameras and when I got to that

1445
01:29:47.079 --> 01:29:49.680
back corner one again, and I always in large them

1446
01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:54.640
so I can look at the woodline. There was a

1447
01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:58.439
deer up in the air, a deer head. The first

1448
01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:00.159
thing I saw was like the neck and head of

1449
01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:03.439
a deer, and I was like, is that a deer

1450
01:30:03.479 --> 01:30:06.199
on top of something's head? So I blown it up

1451
01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:10.359
and it took me a second to realize what was

1452
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:14.279
going on. The deer was being slung from side to side.

1453
01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:19.479
The head was just rapidly. It went left, right, left, right.

1454
01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:22.760
You know, I probably watched it get slung five times.

1455
01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:26.239
Big for society will be right back after these messages.

1456
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:45.239
I could see its eyes, its eye open, its ears

1457
01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:49.119
having it blown up. Now this is my husband says.

1458
01:30:49.159 --> 01:30:52.119
It's between ninety and one hundred feet from that position

1459
01:30:52.159 --> 01:30:57.279
of the camera on the eve to the edge of

1460
01:30:57.039 --> 01:31:00.760
the woods. There. It was right there on that same

1461
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:03.600
game trail, that same area where the one stepped out

1462
01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:09.840
a few weeks before. I realized that that bigfoot was

1463
01:31:10.760 --> 01:31:14.520
apparently slinging that deer back and forth and breaking its neck.

1464
01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:19.760
And as quickly as it all started, it went down

1465
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:23.800
in the woods with it. I sat here with my

1466
01:31:23.840 --> 01:31:26.319
mouth hanging open, and of course I called my friend again.

1467
01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:31.600
I'm like, you are not going to believe what I

1468
01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:36.079
just watched. I said, I cannot believe this. And now

1469
01:31:36.079 --> 01:31:38.279
I go to I'm worried. Is that my dough that

1470
01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:40.880
he's killed? You know, the one that brought her babies

1471
01:31:40.880 --> 01:31:46.560
in the yard all these years. But to see that happen,

1472
01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:54.199
there's just no words. There's just no words. I was

1473
01:31:54.279 --> 01:31:55.520
just completely dumbfounded.

1474
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:04.039
Wow, You've got such a really good opportunity, right, It's

1475
01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:05.479
just it's crazy.

1476
01:32:07.520 --> 01:32:11.479
And I'm like, you know what, But now I've said this,

1477
01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:18.199
I don't believe in our household, We've discussed this. I

1478
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:20.800
don't think this is the one that stepped out, and

1479
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:22.520
the one that did that to the deer is the

1480
01:32:22.560 --> 01:32:24.760
same one that's maybe been on the property in the

1481
01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:30.399
year's past. Because that one that stepped out was enormous.

1482
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:32.920
I mean it was enormous. It had to be four

1483
01:32:32.920 --> 01:32:38.560
feet across when it turned. I got some screenshots I

1484
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:41.439
mentioned it before. Spencer took one and cleaned it up,

1485
01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:49.479
and it looks you could see a large mass and

1486
01:32:49.479 --> 01:32:54.119
then you see the Blackberby briars underbrush good three and

1487
01:32:54.119 --> 01:32:57.079
a half four feet tall of that, and then you

1488
01:32:57.119 --> 01:32:59.920
see the mass above it. It is a huge boy,

1489
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:03.079
and I say, boy, I don't know, but it's a

1490
01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:12.119
huge bigfoot. It's really huge, and it gets even crazier.

1491
01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:17.000
I don't know how much time I have, but we

1492
01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:20.560
went on February fourth. We left here, my husband was

1493
01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:23.920
supposed to pick dinner up. We left here at seven twenty.

1494
01:33:24.119 --> 01:33:26.119
We decided we would run to town and just grab

1495
01:33:26.199 --> 01:33:31.119
a bite at a restaurant and come back. We got

1496
01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:34.840
back at eight forty. Where we were going when you

1497
01:33:34.920 --> 01:33:38.600
want to go along, my husband headed directly in the house.

1498
01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:42.279
As soon as we got here, My Sonday and I

1499
01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:44.199
got out on our side and walked around the back

1500
01:33:44.199 --> 01:33:48.920
of our vehicle. I'd had gravel delivered a few days prior,

1501
01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:51.239
and but we had a pile put here at the

1502
01:33:51.319 --> 01:33:54.000
end of my house, probably six feet from the corner

1503
01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:58.560
of my house. I'd had a decent sise little pile.

1504
01:33:58.600 --> 01:34:00.239
I wanted to wreck it around, you know, pull it

1505
01:34:00.319 --> 01:34:02.880
up next to the sidewalk, that kind of thing. So

1506
01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:04.439
I as I got to dump me a pile there.

1507
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:08.279
As I walked around, I looked down and I said, oh,

1508
01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:11.439
my word. Look. Right in the top of that pile

1509
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:14.319
was a huge footprint you could see compressed down in

1510
01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:18.840
the gravel. I got a picture of it. I had

1511
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:22.800
on crocs, and I took off my crop and I

1512
01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:26.439
set it my heel of the crop in it. And

1513
01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:29.640
the footprint's about four and a half inches. My crop

1514
01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:32.520
measures twelve inches from the hills of the toe. I

1515
01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:36.640
measured it with a ruler and about four inches past

1516
01:34:36.680 --> 01:34:39.199
that is where the big toe ended on the footprint.

1517
01:34:41.760 --> 01:34:43.960
As I took one without it, you could see the depression.

1518
01:34:44.039 --> 01:34:46.439
The depression in the loose gravel went down about an inch.

1519
01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:50.000
On the other side of it was another footprint that

1520
01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:54.279
had kind of slid in the gravel. And the odor

1521
01:34:54.359 --> 01:34:58.840
that hitched you, Jeremiah, would have made you throw up.

1522
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:05.000
My husband said he didn't smell it, but that's nothing unusual.

1523
01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:07.439
He had signed as issues. But my son and I

1524
01:35:07.439 --> 01:35:10.680
both were out there going what is that? It is horrible?

1525
01:35:12.399 --> 01:35:16.680
It was this just gut wrenching old urine smelled. It's

1526
01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:19.119
the only way I can describe it, like you went

1527
01:35:19.159 --> 01:35:22.760
into an old gas station that hadn't been cleaned in forever.

1528
01:35:23.800 --> 01:35:29.000
It was just horrid burn your eyes horrid. Then there

1529
01:35:29.039 --> 01:35:34.359
looked like something had urinated a line out from that

1530
01:35:34.680 --> 01:35:40.079
in the gravel. And I went inside and got a

1531
01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:44.960
paper towel and picked one of the rocks up and

1532
01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:49.479
it smelled as well, and put it back down. I

1533
01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:51.880
didn't think about bagging it. I didn't think about doing anything.

1534
01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:55.520
I was just shocked. The footprints we found heill marks

1535
01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:58.840
from the edge of our grass, across the fresh gravel,

1536
01:35:58.960 --> 01:36:01.960
just the hill. Impressed it got to that pile, then

1537
01:36:02.079 --> 01:36:04.199
out into the front yard toward the chicken coop. We

1538
01:36:04.319 --> 01:36:08.239
moved him out towards the apple trees. No chickens were

1539
01:36:08.279 --> 01:36:13.640
harmed or messed with then. So immediately I got I

1540
01:36:13.720 --> 01:36:17.359
text my friend Gregg again, got on the phone with him.

1541
01:36:18.520 --> 01:36:20.640
I was telling him what was going on, and I said,

1542
01:36:20.680 --> 01:36:23.439
I can't I just can't believe this. And when we

1543
01:36:23.560 --> 01:36:26.159
kept talking and talking, and we talked a long time,

1544
01:36:26.199 --> 01:36:28.720
and I had my door open, the endor and it

1545
01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:33.279
had started missing rain. Whatever that was that line that

1546
01:36:33.319 --> 01:36:38.199
I said looked like something had urinated, like four foot

1547
01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:43.399
stream of viewer and across there on the gravel did

1548
01:36:43.479 --> 01:36:48.359
not go away when the rain hit it. It was

1549
01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:51.720
still there. When the missing rain had wet all the gravel.

1550
01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:54.079
So and I was telling him that. I said, does

1551
01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:56.159
that mean it's like all you or something? I mean,

1552
01:36:56.920 --> 01:37:01.319
you know, I'm ignorant here in some areas. I'm being honest.

1553
01:37:01.359 --> 01:37:03.199
I was like, wouldn't it if it had been a

1554
01:37:03.279 --> 01:37:05.880
human urine it would have washed off of them? Right?

1555
01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:10.279
It didn't stay there, It just got darker when the

1556
01:37:10.359 --> 01:37:15.600
other hit, when the you know, the misty sprinkles whatever

1557
01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:19.399
you don'na call it rain hit. Well, we were talking

1558
01:37:19.439 --> 01:37:21.479
and I said, you know, I hear something on my ramp.

1559
01:37:21.520 --> 01:37:25.520
I have a handicap ramp built to my door. And

1560
01:37:25.560 --> 01:37:27.880
I said, I hear something on the round. But I

1561
01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:31.279
didn't jump up then and go look. But while I

1562
01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:33.359
was talking to him, I yelled at my son. I said,

1563
01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:34.760
you need to get the dogs in. And he was like,

1564
01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:37.279
I don't want to go out there by myself. That

1565
01:37:37.319 --> 01:37:38.640
thing's been in the yard. I don't want to go

1566
01:37:38.640 --> 01:37:41.199
out there. So he said, tell him to take a

1567
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:46.199
bright light and go out there. So he opens the door,

1568
01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:50.680
goes out with a light, goes out there and gets

1569
01:37:50.840 --> 01:37:52.920
the dogs. Comes back. I go out on the ramp.

1570
01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:56.119
I turn around and there on the ramp as a footprint.

1571
01:37:57.479 --> 01:38:00.319
It's not like the toes in the hill, you know,

1572
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:05.640
like a solid footprint. But you could see what if

1573
01:38:05.680 --> 01:38:09.760
you could imagine like wet hair, you know, stringy, you

1574
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:11.239
know how you can sling them off on the floor

1575
01:38:11.279 --> 01:38:15.319
and it leaves those marks. That's what it looked like

1576
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:20.600
on the ramp. It had been I almost get choked

1577
01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:23.560
up thinking about this. It had been standing within three

1578
01:38:23.600 --> 01:38:30.680
feet of my screen door while I was on the phone.

1579
01:38:31.479 --> 01:38:41.439
This is all in the same night. We now have

1580
01:38:41.560 --> 01:38:46.479
an extremely bright light out there, but we're still getting

1581
01:38:46.479 --> 01:38:48.520
pebble strown at the end of the house, or rocks

1582
01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:51.840
or sticks. There is a three foot stick out there

1583
01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:54.680
now that I saw yesterday that wasn't out there before.

1584
01:38:55.560 --> 01:38:58.760
Like it's maybe an inch in diameter. That's probably hit

1585
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:01.880
the house where it is about four feet from the house.

1586
01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:10.520
So I've expressed it to them. I'm concerned that this

1587
01:39:10.560 --> 01:39:17.279
one is more I don't want to use the word aggressive, inquisitive.

1588
01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:18.680
Would that be a good term.

1589
01:39:18.880 --> 01:39:22.720
I'd say it was not for sure.

1590
01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:27.560
Yeah, yeah, Well, my son has been afraid to go

1591
01:39:27.600 --> 01:39:29.439
out at night to get the dogs out of their kennel.

1592
01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:32.720
The kennel's kind of halfway between the house and the woods,

1593
01:39:34.399 --> 01:39:38.359
and a few nights later he was like, I don't

1594
01:39:38.359 --> 01:39:39.640
want to go out there, and I said, I'll go

1595
01:39:39.680 --> 01:39:41.680
with you. So he had the light, the one that

1596
01:39:41.800 --> 01:39:44.359
you know, the bright one. I was right behind him,

1597
01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:48.079
within two feet of him. He went out, stepped on

1598
01:39:48.119 --> 01:39:51.640
the ramp, turned around, almost ran over me. He said, Mama,

1599
01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:55.279
that thing is at the corner of the dog kennel.

1600
01:39:56.800 --> 01:40:00.000
Its head is above there are those six x ten panels.

1601
01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:04.119
He said, it's head is above. It's on the tree side.

1602
01:40:04.279 --> 01:40:07.439
He said, it's heads above the dog kennel. And it

1603
01:40:07.560 --> 01:40:09.880
just took off running. He said, I'm not going to

1604
01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:11.439
get the dogs. I said, well, you've got to go

1605
01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:14.039
get them, because I don't want them left out there,

1606
01:40:14.079 --> 01:40:16.600
you know, with it in the yard. But if he

1607
01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:20.680
came up to the corner of the dog kennel, then

1608
01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:24.640
we found the dog kennel was on that side was

1609
01:40:24.760 --> 01:40:28.359
pulled about three feet at the top. It didn't then

1610
01:40:28.520 --> 01:40:33.640
the you know where the panels going together. It was

1611
01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:37.560
pulled probably three feet towards the woods. Well, the whole

1612
01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:41.760
panel was pulled three feet or towards the woods, like

1613
01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:45.800
it was trying to figure out how to get into it. Yeah, right,

1614
01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:50.159
And then we came home from church the Sunday after

1615
01:40:50.239 --> 01:40:53.720
that and the side closest to the house was leaning

1616
01:40:53.760 --> 01:41:01.439
in towards the dogs. So a lady and Tennessee said, well,

1617
01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:03.920
the time of year it is, it may be looking

1618
01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:11.159
for some food. So that is other than here in

1619
01:41:11.199 --> 01:41:14.039
the little pebbles. I mean that pretty much brings us

1620
01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:18.479
up to where we're at now. We've been listening, and

1621
01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:21.479
I take that back. We burnt some things of the

1622
01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:26.279
night at dusk, and we Jeffrey and I both watched

1623
01:41:26.279 --> 01:41:28.279
it on the camera. It was down behind the tree,

1624
01:41:28.319 --> 01:41:30.359
peeking up from behind the tree while he was burning.

1625
01:41:31.199 --> 01:41:35.880
All right, Sandra, this is this is what wild?

1626
01:41:36.359 --> 01:41:37.359
Yeah, it's wild.

1627
01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:42.920
In the last we have a few minutes left, but

1628
01:41:42.960 --> 01:41:46.800
I really want to talk about this real. So are

1629
01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:51.560
you watching this security camera on a like a phone?

1630
01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:52.119
Yes?

1631
01:41:52.279 --> 01:41:55.159
Okay, So what phone do you have?

1632
01:41:56.880 --> 01:42:00.720
Well, at the time that I was trying to do screenshots, yeah,

1633
01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:10.640
I had a Samsung Galaxy S twenty four, not a

1634
01:42:10.760 --> 01:42:14.640
nicer phone, but I'm used to an iPhone and I

1635
01:42:14.680 --> 01:42:16.920
couldn't figure out how to get my screenshots. And I

1636
01:42:16.960 --> 01:42:20.199
finally my husband that night that I did get some screenshots.

1637
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:21.880
He said, you got to push this and this and

1638
01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.800
you get your screenshots. So I think I got five

1639
01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:28.760
and one of them, like I said, I mentioned in

1640
01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:31.680
Spencer Jamison cleaned up and got a pretty good backside

1641
01:42:31.800 --> 01:42:37.960
of one of that one. And then I now, as

1642
01:42:37.960 --> 01:42:39.920
of last week, I'm back to an iPhone.

1643
01:42:40.000 --> 01:42:41.920
Okay, so I'm.

1644
01:42:41.800 --> 01:42:44.159
Kind of excited about that because I can handle it better.

1645
01:42:44.199 --> 01:42:48.319
And if I see it on the camera again, and

1646
01:42:48.359 --> 01:42:52.119
then Greg suggested that if I see the if I

1647
01:42:52.159 --> 01:42:55.960
see it back there again, to take my son's phone,

1648
01:42:56.359 --> 01:42:58.319
which I think is a pretty good idea and film

1649
01:42:58.319 --> 01:42:59.840
it off my phone.

1650
01:43:00.119 --> 01:43:02.319
That's pretty much what I was going to say. Or

1651
01:43:02.479 --> 01:43:05.760
you should be able to on your own iPhone. We

1652
01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:09.000
slide down and do a screen recording of what's on

1653
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:11.600
your screen so you can get the victual video either way.

1654
01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:14.239
Yeah, I can do that now on that You're right,

1655
01:43:14.359 --> 01:43:14.800
You're right.

1656
01:43:15.000 --> 01:43:16.239
Yeah, that would be great.

1657
01:43:16.399 --> 01:43:20.239
Yeah. Oh man, but I haven't had I haven't had

1658
01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:22.520
the phone. I haven't had any activities since we got

1659
01:43:22.560 --> 01:43:28.920
the phone's changed back, so none that I've caught anyway.

1660
01:43:29.479 --> 01:43:33.000
But I mean, this is just and the stick structures

1661
01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:35.880
that I mentioned earlier have ramped up. There was like

1662
01:43:36.199 --> 01:43:39.239
four or five over there six months ago, and now

1663
01:43:39.279 --> 01:43:44.039
there's probably twelve thirteen. And there's also a blind that

1664
01:43:44.079 --> 01:43:47.800
I got a picture of that's over there. Oh man,

1665
01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:52.399
this just blows my mind. I have some people that

1666
01:43:52.439 --> 01:43:55.680
say they're going to come. I don't want. I don't

1667
01:43:55.720 --> 01:43:59.760
really want these people that want to. They say they

1668
01:43:59.760 --> 01:44:01.720
want to investigate, but then they come armed to the

1669
01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:04.600
hilt and you know what they want. I don't want

1670
01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:07.479
them to bother them because everybody always says, what do

1671
01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:09.119
you think they are? And I said, I think there's

1672
01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:11.079
some form of human. I said, I don't really think

1673
01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:14.960
they're a gorilla because I looked too closely in its face.

1674
01:44:17.279 --> 01:44:22.439
I just don't. I just don't think. So. I don't

1675
01:44:22.439 --> 01:44:24.640
believe that they have portals. I don't believe they transport.

1676
01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:26.159
I don't believe all that. But I do think that

1677
01:44:26.199 --> 01:44:28.399
they probably have abilities you and I don't, because they've

1678
01:44:28.439 --> 01:44:31.840
survived in the wild along you know, they know how

1679
01:44:31.880 --> 01:44:34.720
to they know how to camouflage, they know how to

1680
01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:40.039
hide behind things. You know, they possess those abilities. And

1681
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:47.439
I do believe that, but I don't want. I just

1682
01:44:47.439 --> 01:44:49.399
don't want somebody to come here. Hunting them, let's put

1683
01:44:49.399 --> 01:44:49.880
it that way.

1684
01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:54.079
I don't absolutely And that's important for you to know

1685
01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:59.279
as the landowner, and you can hopefully keep those certain

1686
01:44:59.399 --> 01:45:03.159
individuals from coming on to your property, you know.

1687
01:45:04.920 --> 01:45:08.039
And I've had a neighbor in the past that saw

1688
01:45:08.079 --> 01:45:10.680
them come across my property and onto the neighbor's property.

1689
01:45:11.239 --> 01:45:14.000
Big for society, who will be right back after these messages?

1690
01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:32.880
Well, he watched them at night. I forgot to mention that.

1691
01:45:33.039 --> 01:45:35.720
And he would sit out and smoke late at night.

1692
01:45:36.520 --> 01:45:38.359
He was a renter and he would sit on the

1693
01:45:38.359 --> 01:45:40.880
porch and smoke. And he said, I hate to bring

1694
01:45:40.920 --> 01:45:43.439
this up, but he said, you don't think I'm crazy.

1695
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:47.560
I said, no, I don't think you're crazy. He said

1696
01:45:47.560 --> 01:45:51.479
it's huge. It's black, but he didn't describe it as

1697
01:45:51.479 --> 01:45:53.960
being real wide. He just said it was tall. I

1698
01:45:53.960 --> 01:45:55.800
think it's the younger one. I keep saying it's a

1699
01:45:55.800 --> 01:45:57.960
younger one because we've seen a smaller footprint and then

1700
01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.439
we see the larger footprint. I think we've had one

1701
01:46:00.439 --> 01:46:05.279
that's kind of grown up around somewhere close by. Then

1702
01:46:05.399 --> 01:46:08.279
my other neighbor, a neighbor Hicks Tooby, said that she

1703
01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:10.159
thought that there was a cave down on the back

1704
01:46:10.199 --> 01:46:13.960
side of their property, but it gets so steep that

1705
01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:15.880
they just don't walk down there, and we don't walk

1706
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:18.880
down there either because it's so steep. It's going towards

1707
01:46:18.920 --> 01:46:22.439
the creek. So I said, well, I don't know. You know,

1708
01:46:22.520 --> 01:46:25.680
we have limestone outcroppings all around here, and there's bluffs

1709
01:46:25.680 --> 01:46:28.720
and stuff, so you don't know, and you don't know

1710
01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:32.279
what comes up the creek from the larger area either.

1711
01:46:32.760 --> 01:46:36.039
Oh man, miss Sandra, this you've got some wild stuff

1712
01:46:36.159 --> 01:46:40.880
going on. It has been just an intense conversation with you.

1713
01:46:40.880 --> 01:46:43.520
You've got some stuff going on. Thankfully you're talking to

1714
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:47.720
people at Spencer and Greg and Misty where that really

1715
01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:52.199
know the down South Bigfoot and the Booger action. And

1716
01:46:52.520 --> 01:46:55.359
I know that you've been. People can also watch your

1717
01:46:55.359 --> 01:46:58.199
interviews over on the Woodwalker's channel, which is awesome. I

1718
01:46:58.239 --> 01:47:03.159
love it. But yeah, please keep me, you know, in

1719
01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:05.880
the loop, but keep them in the loop first. I mean,

1720
01:47:05.960 --> 01:47:08.560
they're the boots on the ground guys down there.

1721
01:47:08.800 --> 01:47:12.640
Well, you know, I called I told Greg, he looks

1722
01:47:12.640 --> 01:47:15.079
a lot like my brother that passed away in twenty seventeen,

1723
01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:16.560
So I call him, I tell him he's a brother

1724
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:20.640
from another mother. But you know, when something happens, I'm

1725
01:47:20.640 --> 01:47:27.319
like Greg, right, because I'm panicking. But this has just

1726
01:47:27.319 --> 01:47:30.880
been a while, six months, you know, since when we

1727
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:34.239
saw that one in November or not quite six months,

1728
01:47:34.479 --> 01:47:37.119
but yeah, since the first of the year. Because normally

1729
01:47:37.199 --> 01:47:40.920
December January it's quiet. That's why I'm saying this is

1730
01:47:40.920 --> 01:47:47.000
a different one. It's quiet, and it just disturbs me

1731
01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:48.880
that it doesn't have a problem coming up to the

1732
01:47:48.880 --> 01:47:52.319
door the house. And it did come up with the

1733
01:47:52.319 --> 01:47:55.680
bright light. Once the light was up, it came up.

1734
01:47:56.520 --> 01:48:00.920
So hey, yeah, you know, I don't want to say aggressive,

1735
01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:04.800
but like I said, inquisitive, like you said, curious. So

1736
01:48:05.720 --> 01:48:07.720
I guess it remains to me seen if it goes

1737
01:48:07.760 --> 01:48:09.800
away or if it keeps hanging around, or what's going

1738
01:48:09.840 --> 01:48:10.199
to happen.

1739
01:48:10.399 --> 01:48:12.920
Yeah, you guys are okay, just just be aware of

1740
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:15.319
keep being aware of what's going on, and keep in

1741
01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:19.119
touch with with Greg for sure. But yeah, miss Andrew,

1742
01:48:19.119 --> 01:48:23.560
thank you so much for chatting today, and I hope

1743
01:48:23.600 --> 01:48:24.600
we will stay in touch.

1744
01:48:24.680 --> 01:48:28.119
But uh yeah, oh, I'll be glad to keep you.

1745
01:48:28.479 --> 01:48:30.000
I'll send your text once in a while that you

1746
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:30.720
know what's going on.

1747
01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:33.680
Thank you so much pleasure talking to you today and

1748
01:48:34.279 --> 01:48:34.760
good luck.

1749
01:48:35.000 --> 01:48:38.640
Thank here, Thanks for hearing me, hearing the hearing my experiences.

1750
01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:41.279
It's nice to be able to talk to somebody that

1751
01:48:41.319 --> 01:48:42.760
didn't say, oh, well, you're just an.

1752
01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:48.399
Idiot, so definitely not. Yes, ma'am, all right, we will

1753
01:48:48.560 --> 01:48:49.600
we'll talk later, all.

1754
01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:52.960
Right, all right, thanks Karma, thank you.

1755
01:48:59.680 --> 01:49:01.279
Just want to take a minute to say thank you

1756
01:49:01.319 --> 01:49:04.520
truly for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast.

1757
01:49:04.680 --> 01:49:07.119
Sandra's story is the kind that lingers, not just because

1758
01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:09.880
of how close that window encounter was, but because of

1759
01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:12.800
how long it's followed her from that first face to

1760
01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:16.279
face moment at thirteen to footprints, handprints, and stripped peach

1761
01:49:16.359 --> 01:49:20.159
trees decades later. It's clear that something in those Alabama

1762
01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:24.039
woods never left. Huge thanks to Sandra for bravely sharing

1763
01:49:24.079 --> 01:49:26.960
what she saw and continuing the conversation that so many

1764
01:49:27.039 --> 01:49:29.760
