Florida Hunter Watches Something Catch a Deer at 30 Yards

0:00 You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you firsthand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the CaringBridge link in the show notes. Thank you. Hey, Jerry, thanks for coming up.

0:45 So you've had a Bigfoot encounter? Yes. Feel free to share what you experienced there. Well, out hunting on the Suwannee River, I saw a bunch of deer running towards me, and I was right on the edge of the creek. And lo and behold, I looked down. At first, I thought it was somebody in a ghillie suit. But no, to catch a deer like that, it was no person in a ghillie suit. Other than that, that was my experience. And that's the Sewanee River in Florida, is that right?

1:25 Yes, sir. Okay, so that's by like O'Brien and Mayo area? Columbia County. Columbia County, yeah, I guess it's actually a lot bigger than I realized. That river goes on for quite a ways. So you actually had a face-to-face sighting of something there. I was... no more than 30 yards from it. Oh, wow. Oh man. Could you get a good look for what its face looked like at all? I didn't really pay attention to the face. I was more, uh, when it grabbed the deer, um, I put my scope up on the rifle on it. And I was like, I was just amazed that a human could catch a deer. And, um, I told my dad about it, and he said I must have been hallucinating because him being a Vietnam veteran, he had never seen one. But I told him I saw one. It wasn't running. It just happened to just step out behind the trees. It grabbed one doe. I guess it broke its neck. And like I said, I was looking through the scope, and I couldn't believe It might have been seven foot. Couldn't tell if it was male or female. But I thought it was a person

2:56 in a ghillie suit. But it just, now the rest of the deer all jumped in the Suwannee River and swam across. But the one he caught, he just, it just immobilized it and it walked off. It didn't ever make no sound towards me or grunt. And I know it had to know I was there. But it just, it was weird. Probably lasted all about maybe 10 minutes, if that long. I know it made me think twice about hunting there at night. But yeah, that was my Bigfoot experience.

3:41 Did you notice anything weird about the way it walked off? Maybe it was hunched over a little bit, but I was thinking maybe it was because he had the deer up under his arm. But it didn't run. It just walked like it didn't have a care in the world. Is there anything that people usually get wrong about Bigfoot based on what you experienced that day?

4:21 I don't know. I've had beer bears climb up the tree while I sat in my stand. Um, I don't know. Uh, I've never seen one cross the road and I've, I've heard of people that had seen them cross the road, but, uh, this happened, uh, on the, like I said, on the Suwannee river, uh, it was probably about eight o'clock in the morning. And, uh, It just stepped out and grabbed one doe so quick that the rest of them just dove in the swan and swam across. And then he just turned and walked away from me.

5:05 Did it grab it by its neck then and break its neck, or what did it exactly do? It looked like it grabbed it up underneath it and just grabbed it and then pulled down on it to the side. Um, other than that, I was just, you know, like I said, I was amazed, uh, cause I never knew it was there. And, um, them deer just was trying to get to the river and he just stepped or it just stepped right out and grabbed the deer. And, uh, it was, uh, it was, it was shocking. I, um, Didn't feel like shooting it. I mean, cause I honestly thought it could have been a person, you know, but yeah, nobody's been able to explain it to me. Yeah. I saw when I got down, I took my stand off the tree and I walked over to where it was. And, um, there was big old feet print and, um, saying on the Swanee river. So, uh, like I said, I've never, never seen anything, but to my dad and my dad said I was crazy. So, uh, I've never said nothing about it.

6:28 One last question, Jerry, and thank you for answering some of my questions. What you saw, did it look like it was more human or ape-like? I want to say it looked probably a lot more human-like. It didn't look like no orangutan or ape. Like I said, it looked like a person in a ghillie suit. It was really dark. Long hair. I mean, even his legs had long hair on it. I was thinking, you know, that was a whoever did the ghillie suit did a good job.

7:24 Absolutely. Especially getting that close to me and I never knew it was there. And I was deer hunting. And for it to grab that deer like under, right in the middle and kind of turn it and then got its head up under the other arm and then it was over with. And it just turned to the right and walked off from me, kind of slunched over and Kept going straight down the edge of the swanee. And I never saw it again. I got down, took my stand off the tree and said, wouldn't look for, you know, feet prints and stuff because I was looking for boot prints.

8:04 And these were bare feet prints. Well, Jerry, thank you for coming up and for sharing what you experienced that day. I appreciate you answering my questions. Yes, sir. And thank you for talking to me. Yes, sir. You have a great rest of your day. You too. Thank you. Hey, Shay. Sorry I saw you. You actually came up. Thank you for coming up, by the way. Yep. Would you be willing to share what you experienced that day? My husband and I were actually stranded. We got lost in the forest over in Oregon, right above Gold Beach. And we had to hike out.

8:51 It took a few days. And about halfway back, got rescued. But we didn't have any way to document it or any way to photograph it. But literally, it looked like somebody stepped half in the gravel and half in the mud. And the footprint was just, it was five toes, a regular shape of a footprint, but three times larger. Than it should have been. And it wasn't trying to draw attention to itself or have any kind of hey look at me hey you know make a big deal about it it was just like somebody stepped wrong and there was no way to document it or preserve it or prove it but.

9:31 Oh wow we know what we saw we know what we saw it was in. The middle of nowhere i mean it we actually had to have a recovery service come in and get the vehicle not just a tow truck it was so deep it was more than 30 miles deep in the mountains where they do logging um we got lost there and like i said you know it it was scary because we didn't know how to get out and there was no sounds, there was no planes overhead or anything like that. But right in the middle of it, there was. This footprint and that just, it was real. It was definitely real. It definitely just blew my mind and changed my whole perspective. Wow. If you had to guess how long that footprint or what the length was, what would you guess?

10:12 It was at least twice as big as my husband's. Because he put his foot up next to it because it looked like it was like in a V shape. The road was, and it's like, it stepped on the road and then in the mud next to the road. And the, it was just a perfect one footprint. What size shoe does your husband wear? Probably about a 10, 10 and a half. Oh man. So that's big. Okay. Wow. It was a big footprint. I mean, it was huge and it wasn't a fake. There's no way it was, there's no way or reason that anybody would have faked. It way out there. Not 30 miles out. Right. I mean, that's crazy talk to the. Middle of nowhere. Right. Um, No way to document it all. Oh, yeah.

10:52 Well, there you go. And that happens a lot. What was the sound of the forest like around that time? Just no crickets, no birds, no anything. No planes going overhead, no normal nature sounds. It was really weird. It was really just quiet. Okay. Do you mind if I ask, like, uh, were you guys just exploring on for, for service roads or? No, no, we, we actually got lost and spent the night in the car because we got, uh, the car got stuck. We took the wrong turn coming out of the forest. Um, we thought we, yeah, we didn't know. We've never been there before. Uh, he had just moved there.

11:33 We moved there for a job and, uh, we decided, Hey, we're going to go. We love natural forests and stuff. So we went to the. Forest, had lunch, had the dog with us. Um, And realized that we had no cell service. My OnStar in the car went beep, beep, beep. There was no finding us. And nobody knew where we was at. So there was no way for anybody to even know that we were gone. So we was just, you know, stuck. So we decided, hey, we're going to hike out. Because that's the best thing. We don't know what else to do. We didn't have food, no water, no cell service, no OnStar, no anything. And, of course, you know, by the time we got to that footprint, we had been... hiking at least a.

12:15 Day oh. My goodness that's horrifying oh it was. Terrifying it was terrifying it was i was sick so sick afterwards um we had basic supplies with us but i mean it wasn't anything we randomly tried to have it was just stuff that we randomly had in the trunk so we kind of decided hey you know we're gonna our best bet is to hike out and find help um because we don't know what else to do the car's stuck it's not going anywhere and On the way out, we had to hike several nights, or we had to camp several nights. And after that first night, we started going up, and it was old logging mountain trails.

12:55 So everything kind of looked alike. And we was on our second day when we saw it. And I was like, you know, look, there's no way because our phones are both dead. We didn't have any other kind of equipment or anything on us to. And, of course, by the time we came back through with a rescue and recovery people to get the vehicle, yeah, it. Was gone, of course. So you had no way of contacting to get rescue. So you literally had to hike the 30 miles out. Yes. Oh, my goodness. I can't. That's incredible. No, we had a camping blanket, an emergency flare, a shot of liquor that I had in the trunk, a couple bottles of water, some leftover picnic food, and.

13:47 Just a backpack. Luckily, I had some toilet paper and a couple bottles of water and a pack of graham crackers, and that was about it. You're so, so, so, so lucky. I mean, there could have been easily like a mountain lion out there too, or something like that. I realize that now, but it's time, you know, all we could think about is if we don't get out of here, we're going to die. Oh, absolutely. Yes. You just got to keep going. I totally, totally get it. Um, what I, so for anyone listening, what I do, um, is, uh, current day cell phones. Like you can have the Google maps app and you can actually, like, if you don't have cell service, um, There's. An emergency signal that they'll send out.

14:29 Oh, that too. And I download the map directly to my phone so I can still have something. Oh, we had no cell service. We had nothing. We had no service of any kind whatsoever. OnStar is supposed to be beautiful. It's supposed to go everywhere. And we had Verizon cell phones, so it should have went. Right. But it was nothing. We're OnStar in a car, but when we pushed the emergency button, it went beep, beep, beep. Oh, that's wild. Oh, my goodness. I actually had to. Draw a map to get back to the vehicle. Because I drew a map on the way out because we kept going up and down the mountain the wrong way because we didn't know. It was dark when we came in. Me being from West Tennessee kind of thought, hey, you know, we'll eventually come out somewhere.

15:12 No. It didn't happen. It's a different world. Yeah. Obviously. Yes. Yes. It was very different. But it was just really weird to see that in the middle of nowhere because that moment I realized, hey. there can be more out here than us. And that scared the crap out of me. Well, I'm so glad that you guys were able to, to power through and you actually, you know, there's so many stories where that's not the case. The only reason I think that, I mean, I think it was a combination of me and my husband. Um, he'd been hiking for years and years, um, has come from a family of hikers and I just had enough common sense and other aspects to, to like, when we drew a map, it was a crude map. It would, Basically, I took pencil and paper and just drew three intersections.

15:55 And we stopped and we put notes at different various points going, hey, we're lost. If you find this note, let us know. Let somebody know. Help, please. And we actually got found by an off-duty Coast Guard that was out doing some kind of hunting adventure. He was going out there for some kind of routine training or something he had to do off-duty. To keep up his speed. stature or something like that. And he just happened to found us in the middle of the, I think the fourth day. Oh my goodness. I don't think we'd have lasted. Much longer, I'll be honest with you. Wow. That's such a long time to last with not really being super prepared to do that.

16:36 Right. But definitely, you know, my husband doesn't believe in a lot in this world, but, He knows what he saw and. It totally changed his perspective. And I just. Hate that, you know, when people, when you tell people something like that and you're in a room, intellectuals and other people that are like, yeah, sure. We think that, you know, what you saw, you can't convince people. You can't go, Hey, here's a proof, but in your heart and in your head, you know what you saw. And that really messes with people because they're like, Oh, she's not, we think she's normal, but you know, there you go. There's that crazy peeking out, but it wasn't crazy. They was there. Yeah. It was a footprint. Oh, my goodness. Well, thank you for sharing. I appreciate you coming up.

17:17 No problem. Wow. That is such a wild encounter of being lost in the woods, stumbling upon a Bigfoot footprint, and then getting out. We've got an individual line to come up to share here. We've got Jericho coming up. Hey, Jericho. It looks like we had a disconnect, but I'm glad you're back. Yeah, I did. It gave me some other prompt, and I hit it, and it took me to a different page. So I don't know why. Feel free to share what you experienced.

17:58 Okay. Let me know if I'm getting too loud, because I've got a little hearing problem, and I'm pretty excitable. You sound great. At times, I tend to get a little bit exaggerated. So I could tell you what happened to me. I was out in Lane County. I'm the one who requested Lane County, Oregon. I was out here in Lane County about 25 miles from town here. And I was out stooping around in the woods looking for, I was prospecting gold. So I was really just tootling around. And I went down, I was going down every road on the way out of the county. you know, out in the boonies. I was going to the end of every road. I went down to the very last road in the county and I pulled off and there was a little creek there and stuff. And I thought, wow, this looks pretty, kind of looks like a little park, parky area, you know, it wasn't real weedy. Everything was kind of beat down a little bit, you know, and I thought, wow, this is pretty cool little area. And I said, huh, it's, you know, compared to everywhere else around there, it was really kind of groomed. And it was out in the middle of nowhere. So I thought, that's kind of weird. Well, I cruised up the hill and I went up a little branch off the road and there was a canyon there. And I got out of the car and I looked over the edge of the canyon to see what was down there. And I got hit with a sound wave that was, it was

19:32 a bark of some sort. It was so loud that it scared the crap out of me. It scared the crap out of me. I mean, I jumped. I could literally feel it, feel the sound wave hit my body. Well, at the time I had a camera with me in the front seat. So I ran over there. I ran over to my car, which is only about three steps away. And I grabbed the camera and I just turned it on and started filming down the hill. And I thought, whatever made that noise was so big that there's no way it got away that fast. And so I filmed the whole little area, you know, back and forth. But I was so scared I only stayed there about 30 seconds. And I turned off the camera. I turned around and left.

20:13 And so a couple of hours later, I went farther down the road out of the county. And on my way back, I finally had that gumption. I thought, I'm going back up there. I'm going back up there. There was something there. And I don't know what it was. So I went up there and I started doing videos and kind of looking at the area and, you know, scoping out the terrain and, you know, just regular stuff. Well, when I went home, I started reviewing the video that I took, the initial video. And I was pointing down the hill, and it was a Kodak. It was just a little Kodak, and it was four frames per second.

20:55 And so I started going through the video a quarter second at a time. And I was zooming and expanding and contracting the whole thing. And I looked down and I could see in there, there was a cluster of trees, probably maybe 50 yards down the hill, maybe 75. I don't even, I'm not real sure. And I thought, wow, that it looks very distorted. So I kept zooming it and then, you know, trying to use the graphics and all this kind of stuff and see what that, why, why was there a big blob down there, you know, at the base of these trees? Well, when I finally got a picture of it, there was a, a, a tree hugger. There was a tree hugger standing down there. And, uh, and by me tree hugger, it was leaning up against the tree and I could see his hand was a wrapped around the front of the tree. And it was kind of peeking around the side of the tree. And I said, Oh wow, this is, this is crazy. So it got me going. It got me going on that.

21:54 And so I went back up there. Gosh, I, I, I started going, I went up there for three months straight, pretty much, uh, you know, three or four times a week. I was just up there doing videos and, And I thought, well, look, there was a big tree stump laying in the middle of this little area. There was no hole for the stump. I mean, the whole stump was ripped out of the ground. And it was laying there. And I thought, this is weird. It still had dirt in the roots. There was no hole. There was no way. It was way bigger than the trees that were there. And I thought, that's pretty weird. Even if it had been there for a while, the dirt would be washed out of it. But it looked like someone had moved it there. And I thought that was weird. And then there was a, over across the street and a little ways away, there was a bunch of random piled up wood there. And I'd, you know, done some, watched the Bigfoot stuff and I heard some testimonies about stuff. And I thought, well, these, maybe these are boundary markers. You know, and I thought that was, that was, makes sense. And the whole area, even up at this other plateau, was the same way. You know, the grass where it should have been four foot tall, it wasn't even, it was really non-existent. And so I was reviewing all my videos and, you know, I was seeing images here and there. And like, you know, I'd be focused at a shadowy spot. And then, you know, one out of about four frames every now and then

23:27 would be clear. The rest were all fuzzy, like it was some kind of energy field or something. And that's what it looked like. It looked like real hazy. Even on a bright, sunny day, it was real hazy and sketchy. It looked like a real bad camera. And then all of a sudden, it'd have a clear spot. And I started seeing these. beings down there you know bigfoot bigfoot so i started figuring out where uh you know what what to look for and they were just basically shadowy uh kind of distorted uh you know a dark spot in the trees where you wouldn't think there should be a shadowy spot all of a sudden there'd be one real black spot and that's where they'd be and then i noticed uh the bigger the shadow was the more of them there were there they would clump together uh They would, uh, clump together and, uh, you couldn't tell they were so distorted. You couldn't know it didn't have a real shape. And so this went on for quite a while. And I, uh, I, of course I was scared to death sometimes, but, uh, uh, I just, I couldn't stop going. I couldn't stop going. And I don't know if you've ever heard of, uh, uh, timber giant Bigfoot. Uh, he, his name's Jimmy does it up, uh, up in Canada.

24:45 he's got some great footage up there, by the way, uh, uh, uh, experiences. And this was, this was in 2011, excuse me. This was quite a ways back. Okay. And so, uh, uh, so I was going up there and I was hooking around and I was taking my dog up there. And, uh, you know, I even got a couple of friends to come on, come up here and check out this spot, man. There's a big foot up here. I don't know if it's a portal or what's going on, but you know, I got people that come up and, and, uh, mess around and snoop around out there in the woods with me, you know, cause they, you know, I'm credible person, uh, you know, for the most part, you know, until this come up, then I, you know, people started thinking I was a. Little bit Lupe, but, uh, I get it.

25:27 One, one of the most amazing things that I seen, uh, because I wasn't seeing any tracks really. I seen a couple of little toe prints down by the, by the Creek and they would have been made by a smaller, uh, you know, a child, childish type version. And, uh, I was seeing some other little anomalies that were like electromagnetic field anomalies were showing up in my videos. All of a sudden, there'd be, it looked like a, you know, one out of four frames, there'd be a laser. It looked like a laser light coming out of the sky, you know, and just kind of weird stuff. And so I thought, these things are IDBs. I said, these are interdimensional beings. They can be solid if they want or something.

26:11 I'm not sure how they cloak. And so I thought, well, you know, I'm seeing where the habitat's all beat down. I see some boundary markers. I'm seeing this, that, and the other. You know, I'm seeing some trails out in the middle of nowhere that are just beat down to the ground. I mean, like it's a major highway and there's no deer prints. There's no elk. You know, I did find a deer carcass there. Uh, at one point in time, and then, uh, it looked like someone had been sticking their fingers through the ribs, picking the meat out of it, you know? And I thought, well, okay, they're, they're carnivores are eating something. And, uh, I went up there one time and, uh, there was a fir tree that would, that fell uphill. It fell uphill up against the road. I thought this is too weird. Why is this thing falling uphill? The tree, it was pushed over is what it was. And it had, I'm going to have to say it must have been probably 15 foot of the tree was hanging over the road. And I thought, wow, that's pretty weird, man. Either someone's angry or whatever, because I've been up there in their space quite a bit.

27:26 And I thought, that's pretty weird. The next time I went up there, That tree that was pushed over against the road, kind of hanging over the road, about nine foot up of that tree that was hanging over with, oh, it must have been four inches in diameter, you know, at that point in time. It was literally twisted off and laying on the ground next to the tree. I mean, it was literally, it looked like someone had took two hands and just twisted that treetop off and threw it on the ground. And there was probably eight foot of the tree laying on the ground right next to the The one that was leaned over and I thought, you know, maybe I'm not that welcome. You know, that was the first sign, real sign I'd seen of a And so, you know, I kind of I kind of backed off for a while because I was kind of going off on the Internet and I was going off on Facebook.

28:27 And that's all I was talking about for months. You know what was going on up on the hill. And, you know, everyone kind of got real, you know, put me at a good distance from them and. you know, I was at the time I had, uh, everything was on a PC. So I was posting all these little images up of, uh, of, uh, what I, what I was capturing up there. And some of them were like, I could see what they were. Some people could not see nothing. They would see it. Nothing but a black blob. The next person would go, Oh, well, you know, that's a big place. And I'm like, yeah, I know, you know, and that's the way it worked with, with people, different people's brains. But, uh, I noticed that from a distance I could, that if you see from a distance, say you're cruising down the road and you're looking at a hillside and there's a bunch of fir trees or whatever, and all of a sudden you see one spot that's really dark from a distance. To me, I think that is where they're manifesting at or where they're camping at or whatever. Interesting. Yeah, I see this kind of, and I still see this to the day. I still see this to the day and I never had any and I know you mentioned to the other person about the extraterrestrial thing earlier, and I never had a connection with that, you know, in my experience. Well, look at why would ETs be hanging out with primate, you know, what is that all about and all this? And I thought, well, you know, that's not that's just not something that seems

29:59 practical or as crazy as this is, that's even crazier, right? You know, are we doing Chewbacca thing? Are we doing Chewbacca? You know, and he's flying around with, you know, Luke and the gang and all the, all those guys. But there was signs of interaction like that up there. Yeah. I, I also, I also have some questions for you too. This is fascinating, fascinating stuff. Um, is your, so the video that you have, is it online on YouTube or anything like that? Nope. Nope. They were all on Facebook. They were all on Facebook. And then, uh, mysteriously they start disappearing. Right.

30:45 And then, uh, then of course, uh, I lost my account. I got locked out of my account. Yeah. And then, uh, gosh, the last one. And even the one, I had one good picture of, And it was one of the most unbelievable ones that is most confounding, confounding ones that I had ever, that I had. And it was one of the clearest too. And I had that posted on when I joined on Twitter a couple of years ago, I posted it on Twitter and that came down off of Twitter too. I don't know what happened. Yeah. I don't know what happened to it on that. I never could find it again. Now I have the images of, still on my blue screw, uh, blue screen, uh, computers, you know, that I got stuck in my closet. Uh, you know, and I thought I burned a, I thought I took them down and burned all the images on a DVD. Uh, but now I can't find that. So I got to redo that. I got to redo that. If I'm going to get those images back. Um, I mean, I still have them, but I just haven't, uh, I don't know how to get on my computer with the blue screen, but I just haven't took it down. Cause I'll have to take it down to, uh, you know, a PC store and have them do that there. Cause I don't even have all my components anymore. Although I really have at the towers. Oh, absolutely. It was a super, super trippy time. And, uh, yes. And, and I really feel like, uh, and I did further research in it. I don't know if this is, uh, you know, I'm trying, I was

32:16 trying to discover, you know, I didn't know if a gigantic, gigantic pit kids or what, some of these, some of these things were 15 foot tall. I'm not even kidding you. Some of the ones that were seven, eight foot tall, they were darker. The bigger ones were redder. The bigger ones were red, reddish. But they were over 12 foot tall, some of the images I was seeing. They were 12 foot tall, and they could literally hide in a bright spot. Like you take a picture and there's a real bright spot in there that would be a spot where the lighter color ones would hide or be camouflaged or whatever.

33:03 So I'm a firm believer in those guys. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Who the heck knows what the communication level. There's several times I was scared to death. I'm not even kidding you. There were several times I was scared to death. And I went up there anyhow. Something made me go up there. I went up there at 6 in the morning taking videos, you know, like a sane person, you know, because I was just stuck on trying to figure out what was going on. Oh, I get it, yeah. And this one kind of looked like a gargoyle looking. He almost had like pointed ears. His hair wasn't that long and had a dark I got dark, kind of almond-shaped eyes. And literally, in my video, I seen it down in the valley by the tree. And just judging by how big the tree and how far away, I thought, God, that thing's 12, 13 foot tall. It's almost twice as big as the rest of them. Yep. And then I turned around, and when I panned around, and I'm not even kidding you, in my video, I found it. I discovered it in my video when I was reviewing it.

34:19 When I panned around, this thing was 50 feet off of the ground, standing next to a tree, standing next to a tree halfway up a tree. Yep. Just looking at me, and I was like, whoa. But it didn't look like angry or, you know what I mean? It wasn't like growly. You know, I never really seen the I never really seen the teeth of any of them. Maybe I'd seen one or one or two that kind of did. And I called them the juvenile one. They were kind of like teenagers. They didn't want no one around. You know, they didn't want no one around. They were kind of growly. But the oh, one thing I did capture and it was it was pretty amazing. I was watching in the clump of shadows. And I could see these little shadows were running around. They were moving around in there. Well, I finally started zooming it in. And there was a big shadow. And there was two little shadows running around. And when I finally slowed it down and zoomed in, it looked like a mama and two babies out there just sitting at the base of a tree.

35:26 And I really zoomed in because I really zoomed in on her. And I could see. And this was one of the weirdest things. And I think they were doing. I think what they were doing to distort the area was hypersonic oscillation of sound waves. Because I could see this, what appeared to be the mother, and I could see her mouth. And her mouth was doing the wave. Her lips were doing the wave so fast that you couldn't, you know, from one frame to another, you know, the wave would be on one side. You know, what I mean by wave is the lips would pucker and purse up. And then stream across. And it was doing that. And while it was doing that, everything was fuzzy. But when I caught it, when it wasn't doing that, I could see her face.

36:15 That's incredible. Oh, man, that is wild, Jericho. So I think they– I really think they used– and I don't know where I came up with the term because I didn't know it was an actual– something that military uses. But I think they were doing hypersonic oscillation of sound waves to distort the imaging– And they start to the atmosphere. And what appeared to work is if they're in a group, there's a bunch of them. And this was probably a three-acre little area that I was videoing most of the time. There had to be 50 of them. There had to be 50 of them. Everywhere I'd look, I'd see, oh, well, there's one sitting there leaning up against a tree. There's one laying in the shade.

36:55 There's one here or one there. And I think together they could do a whole distortion thing. as a team. Oh, that would be, that would be intense. You know, I'm, I'm super interested in this account because when I go out there to Oregon, I am in Eastern Lane County. I, that's where I focus on. So I don't know what part of Lane County you're talking about, but to me, I spend time around Oak Ridge and that area. And there's so much activity that goes on. Oh, I believe that. I believe it. I think that, uh, well, of course the Cascade Range, uh, There is plenty of wilderness, of course, all the way up, all the way up to Washington and, you know, all the way up that whole that whole area and all the way down to, you know, and they I don't know that they migrate.

37:44 I do. I will tell you, though, that after I've been going up there for quite a while and I took a break, I was like, OK, I'm not going up there then. and I'm in Springfield. I'm in Springfield, so I'm in central Lane County. And my experience was just a little bit north, out on the other side of a town called Marcola. Yep. And so it's only 22 miles away from where I live, which is, you know, population of 60,000 or whatever. And, you know, there's houses and stuff out there. But when I went up there after, oh, X amount of time, and I don't even remember how much time I took off, I think it was around a year or so. I went up there and the whole place looked different. I said, Oh gosh, they're gone.

38:32 I told myself they're gone because this place used to look like a park, like somebody, you know, like everyone's camping out and it's all groomed. And now it looks like a, you know, ratatouille. It's just a mess. You know, it looks like forest stuff all over the ground and everything. And, and so I, uh, I haven't, uh, went up there and seen any more noticeable signs. You know, of course, the tree stump's still laying there in the middle of nowhere, you know. But, yeah. Is there a lot of activity around Marcola itself regarding Bigfoot, or you have to go out, like, 20, 30 miles, you're saying?

39:15 Oh, well, yeah, it's about 20 miles from Springfield, so it's only about, oh, gosh, 10 miles from Marcola. That's where I went. Yeah, gotcha. You know, on that road there, and I guess it's Marcola Road, right? you know, it branches to the left, branches to the right, you know, all the way out into Linn County. you know, and kind of plateaued out up there. And then, and then the mountain range is a little bit farther East from there on. Right. Right. Cause I know sweet home. If you go North of their sweet home has a ton of activity up there. I don't know if you've ever heard of that.

39:56 I wouldn't be surprised. I'll tell you that. Yeah. Yeah. And in fact, there were some weird anomalies in the, you know, I don't want to throw, throw no fear factory in on that, but there were some weird anomalies after I've been going up there and, documenting my experience, you know, they found a guy from Sweet Home's vehicle out there, and there's two dogs, and they never did find him. And it was on the, it was right, you know, within a mile of where I was. Oh, really? Oh, no. Oh, boy, that is really, that's really scary stuff, dude. Jericho. Wow. Like I say, I don't want to know, I don't want to say a fair factor or nothing like that. Well, I mean, it's. Good to know. Weird things happen.

40:37 Oh, yeah, I mean, there's, I mean, I've talked to people. There's a lot, a lot of missing person stuff that happens around this East Lane County. I mean, really, I think all of Lane County has a ton of missing persons reports. But yeah, you don't mess around out there. I mean, you go out to the woods, it might not come out. It's not recommended to go by yourself, I don't think. Absolutely not. Yeah. Absolutely not. You know, I was a little crazy enough at the time that I was just going by myself. Hey, look, no one else is going to go up there and listen to you. Oh, look at that. Look at that. You know, look at that. Oh, what's over there? You know, and here you're going off while you're in hyperdrive because you think you discovered the missing link, you know, or you don't know what you discovered, but you know you discovered something that you were completely unaware of. And I'll tell you what, and it was the weirdest sensation. When I was going through my videos, And I seen this one particular image. And it was a full face profile of, you know, this critter had to be 12 foot tall.

41:42 And I was having a little weird encounter thing going on at the time I was taking the video. And when I was reviewing the video, this thing was peeking through the top of a tree, 12 foot up a tree. And the head must have been 15 inches long from chin to the top. of its head. And I said, Whoa. And once I looked at that, I had a rush that went through my, it was like electricity, you know, similar to probably some other kind of substances or whatever. And it rushed through my head from front to back. I mean, my hair was standing on end and I said to myself, okay, I've seen enough. I can't take anymore.

42:29 It was darn scary. It was darn scary. So I backed off for quite a while. Just for my own mental health being that it's not that I don't believe, it's not that it didn't happen. It's just that I'd seen all I could handle. Absolutely. I mean, it does. It really grabs a hold of you. But I mean, that area where you're in, it's really between Sweet Home and Leiburg. And both of those areas are crazy, you know. really that whole area is just bonkers with Bigfoot stuff. Yeah. Yeah. They've had it on the McKinney up there on Southern Liebert. Uh, they, they had, uh, and I've seen the video. I think it might've been on YouTube, uh, a few years ago. It has been a while back now that, and it might even have been on, uh, uh, finding Bigfoot, the darn show or whatever. the TV show, but there were people going down in a drip boat, and they seemed to look like three or four critters right there on the side of the river. You know, none of them were gigantic. They all looked like they were five, sixers, foot tall or taller, but, you know, they almost looked like they were in costume, you know?

43:34 And they were right there on the side of the river doing their foraging or whatever the heck they were doing there, and they caught it while they were on the drip boat. And so, you know, I believe these things exist. How close do I want to get to them? I don't know. I thought we were a family. So I was trying to get pretty close. But, you know, they don't talk a lot. They don't talk a lot. Do you still go out now? I don't go out searching anymore. I don't. No, I don't. What I do is I'm just observant. Okay, because I've already seen all these little indicators, the words potential activity and some of the cues that something's going on, you know. And, you know, the distant growl-ish sound, you know, when I was up there in the booths, it always, and, you know, I was probably, I was up a hill, but I was only a half mile off the road, really, you know, at the crow flies. a half mile off of the main road going out to Marcola Road. And it would sound like a log truck was coming for a half hour, you know. You'd say, here comes a truck. And it would never go by. All that sound was just reverbing right there in that little valley. And, you know, crazy stuff.

45:03 I took food up. You know, I took food up. I said, well, look at these guys. They're living in Pacific Northwest. You know, they ain't never had an orange. I took oranges out. I took apples out. Okay, here's one of the weirdest things that happened. Besides food, because the food was disappearing. But, you know, you leave, come back, who knows, critters and all this. Me and my buddy was up there, and I took some apples. And there was a tree. We stopped by this one tree. And there was, of course, a little spiky limb sticking out there. I stuck an apple on it. We went about 100 yards up the road and turned around. And when we came back by, the apple was gone. I jumped out of the car and looked all over the ground. The apple was not there. It was gone that quick. And I thought, well, that's weird. No, I didn't think it was weird. I thought, look it. They already took it.

45:55 You know, they wanted that sucker. And I threw some oranges down there, way down in the valley. And then I was videotaping. And everything was kind of fuzzy, like it always is, kind of blurry. I knew I'd have to look through my camera. It looked terrible, but I just kept filming anyhow because I knew I was going to review it. And when I reviewed it, I could see the oranges moving around. I see one orange go 25 feet. To another, what appeared to be another male, actually, is what this one looked like. It looked like a female. It picked up the orange and took it over to a male that was sitting there. A big, fat male sitting there, believe it or not. It was gigantic. It was gigantic. But the female looked like it was feeding at the apple. So I even took sporting equipment up there, okay?

46:47 I took sporting equipment up there. I said, look at these guys. Here's what I'm thinking. These kids are bored to death. All they do is sit around here in the sun and eat. They can't go anywhere. I took a football down there and a soccer ball. I threw some other balls down in there. My buddy, he's a soccer player. I took the soccer ball up there. We were up there just kicking it on the dirt road back and forth and I said, well, send it. He kicked it way down into the valley. It went clear down to the bottom. And all the debris and everything down there, it wasn't visible anymore. I went up there four days later, and I was up there snooping around.

47:31 And there's no way no one would have ever found this ball, the soccer ball. I went up there. I was snooping around. And I'll be darned if right there on the side of the road behind this big old tree, that soccer ball wasn't sitting there. Oh, man. Whoa. And I said, whoa. What the heck? They're using it, I said. They're using it. Are you kidding me? You know, they're using it. I couldn't believe it. You know, it tripped me out. I couldn't believe it. You know, it tripped me out. You know, it made me happy, actually, you know, because I spent 50 or 60 bucks on sporting equipment throwing it out there. Right. And one of the other weird things is because I traveled down. I walked down through that valley. And it was a little scary. But there was a little small stand of trees. And there was a tree laying behind some little shrub brush type area.

48:24 And I went in there and I had this girl friend of mine that was with me up there. And she was videotaping me. And I said, just videotape me when I go down there in case something happens and I don't ever come back, you know. Because I hadn't been down there before. You know, I was kind of scared to go down there. I went in and behind this little shrub bush, There was a tree that was pushed over or laying on the ground, I should say. I didn't know that was pushed over. It was a pretty big one. All the bark was wore off at one spot. And I sat there and said, look, this is the sitting spot. And I looked around and looked for excrement. I thought, well, maybe it's the bathroom, you know. But it was all dirt around inside there. And there was a perfect spot to sit. So I thought that was something, you know. And that was something I didn't expect.

49:11 I didn't expect to find a spot that was a comfort area, you know, and there was, there were several other weird things that happened up there that confirmed my belief that, uh, there was actually, and I just called them a tribe, you know, there, there was a tribe up there, uh, you know, mixed adults and, uh, females and, uh, uh, different generations, uh, uh, you know, uh, Bigfoot, you know, I called them Imite, you know, and, uh, That's your name for them? Huh? That's your name for them? Yeah, that's what I named them. Where did that come from? It just come out of my head. But, you know, I don't know why it come out like that. But, you know, I kind of broke it down to electric matter in you. You know, that's what the acronym for it was. Because of their whole configuration and contortion, I really don't know exactly who has to be in what state of physicality or when they have to be or if it's just a disturbance when they're being observed, you know what I mean, where they blur themselves out. and all that, you know. But I'll tell you, the broken tree blew me away. The broken, bigger than a 4x4,

50:43 twisted off and thrown on the ground. And for them to even reach that high and do that kind of activity, you can imagine the thought they'd have to be, you know, to exert that much force and strength. And it was literally twisted off. It was unbelievable. Yeah. Oh, man, that's wild. Like the stuff, I went out in the woods with some locals down in Oak Ridge, and we were seeing stuff twisted off like 8 to 10 feet high. Dude, it was crazy. No, I believe it. I believe it. I was at other, because I've been all over the county doing this now. And so I went down to Cottage Grove. Oh, yeah.

51:24 It sounds like you're kind of familiar with the area. Oh, yeah. But I went out Rowell River. I went out Rowell River, then I went up Sharps Creek. you know, and it's an old mining area. It's an old mining area out there. Yep. And so I went up there and there was a little switchback. Uh, there's a little bridge that crosses, uh, Sharps Creek, I guess is what it is right there. And there, uh, and there's a little bridge that switches back and then there's a little gate and, uh, a little old, uh, skidder road or whatever goes up there. And I parked and I was walking up the old skidder road and I started noticing, I said, what the heck is going on here? And I could see that, uh, uh, A bunch of the branches were twigged and snapped off, you know, about eight foot high.

52:08 Oh, wow. Come up there with a trimmer and just trim the edges, one edge of the road of the fir trees. And they were just twipped, you know, broke off all the way down there. I thought, wow. You know, this is the, I don't know why. I think they're just marking how big they are. You know, a territorial thing or something. Yeah, yeah. That's funny. I like that, though. You know, look at how big I am. Yeah. And on my way back down, there was a spot that was going through the brushes. And it looked like someone had been walking through there. And it was way bigger than me. I'm not even six foot tall. And I said, well, I'm going in there. So I went into this little twiggy area and stuff. And I went into this little thing. And when I got in there, I was like, what is going on? So I walked in there. And I don't know if I found a burial or what. You know, I was scared to death anyhow, but I still snooped it. All of a sudden, I walked in there, and there's a little plateau. There was a big ditch. A big divot dug in the ground.

53:14 Right next to it was a big pile of dirt. And it was like I said, it was in between a bunch of little needly trees. And there was rocks laying on top that weren't covered. I thought, well, this is kind of fresh dirt. You know, it doesn't even have a season's worth of burden, overburden on it or nothing like that. And so I laid down in the hole. I thought, what is this for? Is it the ambush pit? Because I'd found one up at my original spot. And I thought it was by where I found the deer carcass. I thought maybe it was the ambush pit where, you know, they dug a little bit below ground level. Then you could lay there and wait. And then if something comes by, you just grab it or something. So I thought maybe that was it. And so I climbed up on those– There was two of them. There was one and then about 15 foot away, there was another one. It could have been just about that. I don't even know. So I climbed up on the little berm there that was probably three foot tall, you know, to eight to 10 foot long and jumping around. It was all squishy and stuff.

54:15 And I said, I hope this is not a burial thing. And so, you know, I took a couple of videos in there and they were kind of shoddy. But, you know, I could see a couple, you know, some of the ones that are really dark colored, you know, black. When they're out in the sun, their hair reflects the light so much that you can't even really tell they're black. That is the whole black thing. You know, it reflects the light so good that it looks like it's a partial shadow when you're really looking at the back of the darn thing and it's just reflecting sunlight. And I seen those kind of out, pierced out around, and I didn't know if they were sentries or not. And that's one thing I did notice, too. When I was doing my videotaping, and when I was reviewing them, I was listening to the audio as slow as it would go.

55:14 I would listen to the audio as slow as it could go. And that is when I started hearing the barks and the whoops. And I mean, they must have, you know, they must have been just I don't know what frequency they're using. But when I played it as slow as I could play it, then I could hear them. And they would be really short then at the time. A bark or a whoop or a real sharp noise that didn't belong. That you don't hear with your normal ears. You don't hear it with your normal ears. Exactly. And so I used to videotape on my way in there going up the little hill. And I was videotaping on my way in looking out the front window of my car. And then when I replayed it one day, I was playing it super slow because I like to see if I see these things moving around because they move pretty fast when you're going super slow. It's noticeable, you know, that they're moving faster than the average bear. And I heard it. As soon as I got around the corner, I was reviewing. I go, oh, man, look, there's one standing right there. There's one standing right there. And then when I reviewed the audio, it went as I went by. Oh, man, I.

56:26 Wish you still had that stuff. Yeah, I wish you still had that video, man. That's crazy. Yeah, well, I wish I could. I might have to just take these things down there and have them redo it again, you know, because they've still got the DVD burner and all that. I could just take it down and– because I was looking for them because I really wanted– because I never did really print any of the pictures that I had. you know, I never had a color printer or nothing like that. I would just review it on the monitor and then burn it on a DVD. And then, you know, originally I made like 10 copies. Like I said, I took one to the news station. I took one to the newspaper. I gave one to my brother, hold on to this case. Something happens to me, you know, and one of my best friends here, hold on to this in case something happens to me, you know, who knows what this world's going to bring, but this is weird, you know, and, uh, you know, uh, and then of course I contacted the, uh, And I did share pictures with some of the guys on, you know, the Bigfoot show, Finding Bigfoot. Oh, yeah.

57:33 Yep. Yeah. And I shared them in, you know, the girl, I can't remember what her name was. Renee. Yeah, Renee. I shared it with Renee. And it was a picture of it. And I called it the conjoined. Okay. And you can take for that what you want. But it was that big face that I told you that was like 15 inches long. Right. Well, that was half the face. The other half of the face didn't look none of the same. But anyhow, I showed it to her. She couldn't see nothing. She said, oh, that was a, I don't know. She said something more than. which basically meant, you know, electronical or photographic anomaly or something like that. So, you know, I couldn't get them to bite. But I did notice that after I blabbed a lot on Facebook that there was a couple instances where I was up there snooping around and I've seen unmarked like van type vehicles, like research type vehicles, bombing out of there. You know, bombing out of there. And about the same time I was up there on the way down, where the heck did they? I've been down that road there. Road doesn't go there. What is this white van doing up here?

58:50 You know, bombing out of here doing 40 miles an hour just before I got, I get to the branch of the road, you know, and by the time I got to the end of the road, they were nowhere in sight, you know. And of course, I could see two miles each way. I think it did draw some attention. And someone did have it marked at one point as a porthole. Oh, man. Oh, really? Yeah. So I thought that was pretty trippy. I'll tell you this. So that area you're talking about, like Sharps Creek and stuff, I get reports all the time from Sharps Creek, Dorena Lake, Bohemia Mines area. Like that whole area is crazy up there. Oh, yeah, yeah. And there's lots of caves and stuff up there, dude. There are plenty of wide open. In fact, I was up there on Sharps Creek, and I was up there stooping around, digging dirt, you know, prospecting because I had a membership at the GPAA. And I was up there. Of course, you could hear the water running, and that's all you could really hear when you get close to running water. That's all you could really hear, you know, besides the wind is, you know, whoosh. the Russian water. And I was sitting there digging up some dirt.

1:00:01 And for some reason, I started kind of looking around. I have my camera. I'm looking down the stream. And all of a sudden, I heard clack. And it sounded like a giant rock that someone had slammed into the water and hit more rocks. And I don't know if they... And I looked down there and I seen a shadow leaning over the leaning over the water. And I didn't know if they were maybe using that as a way to shock the fish and grabbing them. I don't know if that's how they forage or not. But I do not doubt that there is plenty of these entities available in our country and potentially around the world. I really believe they may be one for one. I have no idea.

1:00:51 they didn't seem to have a population control problem up there where I was. I mean, there were, there was 50 and two acres that were generally there all the time that I could tell. Wow. And so I don't know how I'll spread out there, but there's reports all over the country and all over the world. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. I get reports from all over the world. Jericho, you got to, If you make a note of my email, I'd love to keep in touch with you. Oh, sure. Yeah, it's bigfootsociety at gmail.com. Just in case you find anything that you were talking about, you're welcome to. If you ever want to share stuff that you find, feel free to do so.

1:01:36 Oh, yeah, yeah. And if I can get some of these images back up, you know, some of them kind of blow you away. Like I said, some of them were kind of aerial phenomenon weird stuff. You know, all of a sudden, all of a sudden my camera would be filtered and I would only show a certain, a certain light would come through or, or just little weird stuff that was happening around what I think was the village or, you know, the, the tribe, the tribe's living areas seem to have a lot of weird stuff going on around it. And I don't know if it has to do with their The EMF, you know, the spectrum they exist at, you know, because now I'm so aware of so many more different things than I was at the time. I was pretty, you know, I'm not very educated, you know, officially educated or anything like that. And so, you know, I, yeah, some would talk about that. different light spectrums. Hey, whatever. I know UV, this, that, who cares? You know, I, I never really believed that at every frequency of light that there'd be a whole realm of, of existence going on, you know, but now I know the potential is true. So, uh, you know, blows you away a little bit.

1:02:51 Wow. What a great, what a great chat, Jericho. I hope we, uh, We stay in touch. Maybe we'll talk to you again in the future. But, man, thank you for coming up and for chatting. I really appreciate it. Thank you for letting me go off a little bit and share my trip. I haven't been sharing my trip for, well, since I lost all my friends, I stopped sharing my trip. Hey, well, it's time to get sharing it again, my friend. All right, kid. You bet, man. Have a good one. You too. If you've had a Bigfoot encounter of your own, I would love to hear from you. You can send me an email with your encounter at bigfootsociety at gmail.com. I've come out with a free report about the top 10 Bigfoot hotspots. You can go over to bit.ly forward slash BFS report. I'm Jeremiah Byron. Thanks for listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'll see you In the woods.
