0:00 Hi there. How are you doing pretty good? You? Hey? Great? Feel free to share what your experiences are. Well. I have a couple of different ones. I live up in Vermont near the New York border, okay, and I'm constantly going outside. I'm a night person, night apple, I'm sleep during the dame was the time, and I go night hiking and h Yeah, do do a lot of hiking at night through the woods by myself and other stuff. And had some pretty creepy encounters out there. One night I was out and it was it wasn't quite wintertime. It's probably last it was last year, and it was trying to remember what season it was.

0:44 It was. It was cold, but the leaves weren't gone yet. And I was walking on this path and I saw this tree shaking, big tree shaking back and forth, just the tree. I was like, is that the wind's going on? And it was just that one tree that was shaking back and forth like violently. I was, okay, well, maybe it's a bear, you know, standing up on his back, hind legs, scratching his back against the tree, because I know they do that. So I shined my flashlight in. I have a big two thousand lumen really high, Kendela fleck like shined it in. I couldn't see anything, but the thing stopped shaking, so I was like, Okay, I don't know, maybe I should get out of here. So I started walking.

1:25 And as I was walking through the woods on this path to the right of me, I kept hearing as if somebody was walking next to me. I mean, I'm pretty familiar with what animals sound like different animals, and it was definitely bipedal. So it was two feet and every single time I would walk, it would walk. Every time I would stop, it would stop, but I couldn't see where it was. Kept shying my flashlight in and it kept happening, and it followed me for about a mile and a half through the woods, and I didn't feel any threatened at all. I didn't feel like something wanted to hurt me or scare me. I just feel like something was curious and following me. But it was definitely large and I wasn't able to see it, so that was kind of creepy. But like I said, I didn't get any scared feeling from it. I just know that it was strange and from all the encounters animals I've seen out there. This was definitely strange, because yeah, and I had another encounter that was kind of like that around the same area, but it was two of them.

2:40 And I had night vision at this point, like MVG goggles, so I can see pretty well. In the dark. And I was walking down this path and I kept probably maybe seventy five to two hundred yards in front of me. It sounded like sounded like two people were running around in the woods, not walking, like running on back and forth, like one would run from one direction, want to run from the other direction. They would like cross pass and go where the other one was, if that makes sense. And I was walking up this path and kind of up this hill in this dirt road, and I could hear them out in the woods like running back and forth. And this time I got a creepy feeling from it. I don't know what it was.

3:27 I did feel like, I don't know, it was strange. And I saw something about one hundred yards in front of me run across the road. But I was still hearing this on my right side, something running back and forth. So I took off my night vision goggles and I shined my flashlight up there because sometimes the mvgs you can't see very well further away with them, but it's hard to make out details. So I took those off and I stopped and I shine my flashlight out. Didn't see anything, but then I started hearing like sounded like people were throwing rocks at trees next to me, like up into the trees, and then they were falling down. It's like next to where I was. That was that was weird because they weren't like little pebbles. It was like large, larger rocks or pieces of wood or something that made me feel uncomfortable, like like I wasn't wanted there.

4:26 So that was That was a creepy another creepy one. Like I said, the only thing I saw from that thing was something about one hundred yards in front of me across the road. Could have been people screwing with me, I don't know. I'm pretty sure I would have seen them. I'm pretty observant. But I saw nothing out of those except for what ran in front of me about one hundred yards and the last one, last encounter I had, I actually saw something. It was about ten o'clock at night. This was probably maybe a little over a month ago. I was out, I was doing my rock around my night vision goggles, and I was in this large field, and in this large field, probably two hundred yards down, there's this like they're like cornfields, and obviously in the winter time they're covered in snow and bare, and probably two hundred down yards down this small hill where the things were, it's like a gathering of trees. And off to the left of that gathering of trees there was I thought I saw something, and I did see something.

5:38 Whatever it was, it was sitting there, crouched down, and I was like, I stopped and I started staring at I was like, what was that? And then I started walking towards it, and it stood up and. It walked away. But when it walked away, it looked like it was hunched over and its arms are were like off to towards side. And I don't know, I didn't see a face. I know was that it walked away quickly and it scared me, And yeah, I know for that for a fact. I saw that one. I had a buddy about it, and I was looking at maybe it was a bear, try to convince myself maybe he was a bear, because I've seen videos of bears standing up in their hind legs and walking like that. But its arms were long, and it was tall, and it's wintertime and bears usually sleep, especially in this area, and even if it was a bear, it would probably be a brown bear, which aren't aren't that large. But yeah, I mean, I don't know. I head up to some like big Search, bigfoot researcher thing about it, send them an email and stuff given the location spot I was in, but I haven't heard anything back from them. But kay, that was the only one that I know for a fact that I actually saw something.

6:59 What it was, I'm not positive, but. That's wild. It looked humanoid and it was creepy. Even even though I did actually see this one, I didn't feel any threatening, threatening thing from it like I did with the with the two in the woods that were throwing stuff. But this one, I know I saw it, and I don't have any explanation as to what it could be besides what we're talking about. Absolutely, what what year would you say that was? Oh? This is this is this year. This is like a month and a half ago. Okay, gotcha? Do you feel are you able to share the area this happened in and you don't have to get super specific.

7:43 If you don't want to. Yeah, I have no problem with that. Uh Okay, it's Rutland County in Vermont. Okay, I'm over by the New York border near Whitehall, New York. Oh yeah, wow. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like five minutes five months away if that from the New York border over here. There? Hold on, did you try to reach out to the BFROO or something? I don't remember what the name of the thing was, but I started looking. I was looking up stuff on on the internet. I was like, who the hell can I contact about possibly a possible big foot encounter? Because I don't want to, you know's I know what it was?

8:27 So I went on there and I put my name and I put my where I was and the situation. And maybe maybe that was it. I'm not sure. So I know a guy who's really good, who's local to that area that you could reach out to if you're wanting to have someone follow up. If you just look up a squatch detective. His name is Steve Calls. He's from that area. He's really good. Oh Okay, that'd be awes Yeah, would reckon men reaching it? And if you go to squatchdetective dot com. You can there's a place where you can report your encounter and then he'll probably or there's a contact area too, and he'll probably get right back to you since it just happened within a month or so.

9:14 So, man, that'd be cool. Squash Detective. Huh. Yeah, he's a good guy. He's got he's got stuff together. He's been doing it, i mean since two thousand and six so and he knows all about that area. So it's a good good guy. But man, thank you for coming up and for Sharon. Vermont sightings are really hard to come across, so it's very rare. Yeah. Well, I mean I'm in the woods a lot and a lot of things I see or here I can I push off as my mind blame chicks on me or just regular analysts. But sometimes it's like it's it's it's hard. It's hard to do that, especially when that visual the noise things are one thing now when I don't actually see it, but when I saw that thing in the in the.

10:01 Field, that was that was weird. That one I didn't have an explanation for it besides the bear other than that, like a long armed. Bear mm hmm. Exactly. Wow, good Stuffy. If you're able to get through to the to Steve on Squash detective, hopefully we'll hear back from you another night about how that happens. So, but thanks for coming up. Man, No, definitely look him up. I appreciate it. You got it. Have a good one either. How's it going? Yeah, this is Grant. How are you doing, sir? Oh? Good good. I'm uh I'm over in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm this happened. Uh.

10:50 I had a I was really watching and listening to Bigfoot stories during this time, and out of the blue, who I told my wife, I'm taking Parker, my son, who at the time was only twelve years old, and I said, We're going to East Fork State Park. It was almost I felt like I was being drawn there like a tractor beam. And Parker was like, where are we going, Daddy? I said, we're going to go to a We're going to go to a state park about forty five minutes from here. It's going to be really fun and we're going to stay there until it almost gets dark. And he was like, oh, that sounds fun, and so we drove to it's in the Cincinnati Metro area.

11:46 And we got there and I went to the area where you could. Park a car and start walking on the trail, and. It was gated off, and I thought to myself, well, this must be for ATVs, and there was a little sign that said no ATV. So I said, let's walk around the gate and immediately to the right there was. About twenty five yards from the main trail this stick made bed. It was about nine feet long by three feet wide by probably four feet high, made out of sticks with an open top. It looked like a big coffin honestly made out of sticks, but it looked like a bed too, because I had some dried debris as the bedding, and I said, look, Parker, a big foot bed.

12:50 I honestly didn't know if this was a real big footbed or if the state park was playing a joke and you know, had this as a display it. There was no sign and there was no signage or anything. You could go to East Forts State Park and actually see it yourself, like there's no sign or anything. It just looks like a real authentic bedding for a bigfoot. And as soon. As we were like, oh wow, this is cool, three minutes later I turn around and I said, Parker, look at those sticks. The same gate that was closed off that we had to walk around, there was two perfectly walking sticks up against that nice metal government gate that was not there five minutes ago. And Parker, just being a little boy, said the bigfoots gave it to us.

13:54 And I said, let's go get them. And sure enough I grabbed didn't. I'm about five foot ten and it was perfect for me for walking, And the other stick was about three foot tall and it was perfect for Parker for walking. Those sticks, those walking sticks were not there five minutes ago. While we were amazed. By this bedding off to the right, about twenty five yards to the right off the trail, and I said I and Parker was like, I think the bigfoots want us to go walking, and I said, I think they do too, son. The main trail went straight. The main trail was partially paved, lots of gravel. It looked really nice.

14:57 There was a hard left trail that was it was only three foot wide, that was dirt, really padded down. It rained about two or three days prior, so it was still by this time it was It wasn't muddy, but it was impressionable, like if you stepped on it, you're It was kind of sticky, and all of a sudden we started seeing big twelve fourteen sixteen inch footprints, long human like footprints that were it looked like a human food, but it was wide and it was long.

15:46 And then all of a sudden, we heard pity pad noises off to our left, like. Somebody was running real fast. It wasn't like a deer, it was like and then we heard it to our right. It was almost like we were being led down this path, which I felt we were invited to with my whole We need to go to East Fork State Park right now, Parker, right now, like I had that drive in me, like this is a mission. We need to go right now at six thirty pm. We need to go right now before it gets dark in two hours. And we did that, and then we started hearing all these pitypat noises.

16:30 We saw the footprints I. Took, and we started to walk deeper and deeper on this trail and then Parker said, look I saw something, Daddy. I said, what did you see? And he wouldn't tell me, And then this feeling of dread, like get out of here, and I said, Parker, we got to go, and we. Were on this. We were down on this almost this decline, and we had to almost run as fast as we could up this incline because we knew it was going to go down and then it was going to go up again and they would level off to where we were. We were probably a quarter mile in and we got out of there. But I never really asked Parker, what did you see? And he never really told me. But when I looked over there, I saw something too, but I just couldn't make.

17:29 It out right. Yeah, we got We got out of there, but they gave us walking six, which I have today there next to me, right here on my back porch. Oh wow, that's cool. East East Fork State Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. That's a wild story. I want to tell you another one. A while ago I talked to another individual about this state park as well. Long story short. The witness stated that a group of them were walking down horse trails at this park and these large rocks were being thrown at them at night, Branches were being broken around them, and then they got a very intense fear of being ambushed. That was in October, on a rainy night. Not sure of the year, but if you want to listen to that, that's episode seven seventy of my podcast Big for Society. So same park you were talking about.

18:33 Same park y, Yeah, those same those same big those same bigfoots were seen, reported by. Park goers. They reported to the b RFO. It looked it sounded like a male and a female m a nine footer and a seven footer. Oh wow, standing on the side of a paved road, just the main one of the main park roads, you know that you drive around to, you know, park and walk in the woods, just standing on the side of a road.

19:15 And they drove right by them. Oh, my goodness, that's a b f R report, you said. That's a BRFO report. Okay, East Fork State Park just standing right there looking at them like they're just bystanders. Wow, that's that is wild. Yeah, they didn't do anything to them. They didn't they didn't stop. They just kept driving. My goodness, thank you for sharing. Appreciate it. I'm looking forward to Parker just asked me if we could go back. I told them maybe, you know, when it warms up in the spring. Parker's got the bug, now, that's what. Yeah, you got it all right, be safe, guys, have fun.

19:56 I appreciate it. Thanks you got it. Hello, sir, how are you? I'm good, buddy, Thank you for asking. Absolutely feel free to share what you've come up to share. Man, Okay, Well, I'm forty five years old. I'm an outdoorsman, been my entire life, and I've had, you know a few bigfoot experience and you know, to start, you know, my whole bigfoot scenario. You know, my first experience with it when I was eleven year old kid, Me and a friends were camping and we had what we believe was a bigfoot throwing good sized rocks in this creek one night. Scared us. We ran home. Next day, Dad's buddy, he's the logger, went down there found Prince. Fast forward through time, I've been out many backwoods camping. I've heard tree knocks. About six seven years ago, me and my ex we were out at mark Choin Forest, Missouri, at Berryman camp Ground, and I've seen a sas squatch going up the backside this hill. I never got to see the front front of him, just a backside and he was black and he was big, and try to hike on him. I'm gonna say between probably ten and twelve feet just guessing. But to fast forward all that, I've been doing TikTok now for a couple of years, showing people my content, how I live and stuff like that

21:26 far as you know, living in a tent and woodstove, cooking and everything else like that survival that I know. And where I'm at right now in mark Swaying Forest. I'm about eight miles deep in the woods, you know, And I got to use a dirt bake to get back here. I've been having I got pictures. I've been having heck of activity going around me. Really yes, And I went live Friday night with the chat showing the chat that I'm not making this stuff up, that this is really going on, and you know my chat seeing it, they witness it. You get you know, people trolls and people that don't like me saying, oh, you're making stuff up for content, this is a money grab. It's all recorded.

22:10 I got pictures that I could share with you right now. Okay, but uh, long story short, I've been at this spot a little bit over about three weeks, maybe three and a half and about I want to say, close to nine ten days ago. I'm laying in my cots late at night, and you know, we got black bears around here, we got bobcats, we got mountain lions. And I hear something jumping hit the ground. And at first I'm thinking we got a bobcat that jumped ont of the tree to the ground. And the more I got to thinking about it, I was thinking that would have to be a heavy bobcat. The way that the weight hit the ground, that would be to be heavy. But I let it go.

22:57 I didn't think nothing more about it. That was first night. The second night is I hear something coming down the hill behind me, like it likes to hang out and this brush and filled that we got up behind my camp and I hear it coming down, Well it grunts at me, like twenty feet behind my tee my tent. Does a grunt, not a growl, not a scream, a grunt, huh like that, And it freaks me out. You know, it freaks me out. By this time, it's starting to register with what I got going on, and I'm like, this stuff is real. This is real. And I mean I've always believed in it. I always knew it was real.

23:46 But I'm in the heck of a hotspot. So we had a few other things that happened. I've had you know, stuff through at the tent, A couple of rocks, stick whatever through at the tent. I've heard it knock. I've heard it one night push a tree down on top of the freaking hill. I mean, it could have been a chance that it was just old tree and it fell over. I found tree structures. But the best part is is Saturday of last Saturday, I started going live with the chants showing on the activity I had going on. Now, we had this bigfoot start out, came and threw a rocket my tent. Okay, at first I thought it, put my hands on my tent and pushed it in. I got all witnesses that seen this on my life. So we go outside looking with the flashlight and we can't see nothing. We're not finding nothing, and we're coming up with it. You know, this has got to be an Indian burial ground. This is spiritual. There's some ghost activity going on here. Something's not adding up.

24:40 Well. The thing is circling my tent. You can hear it walking around my tent. And what it does is going underneath the guidewire that I got from an entrance to my tent to a tree, and its back is hitting it, and every time it ducks under it, it is raising the front of my tent. It even lifted up the front flap of my tent and held it open for seconds. This is all witness on my channel on you know TikTok all witnessed the whole night. You can hear it. I left the live going because I was scared to death that something was gonna happen to me. Between three and four in the morning, the chat was telling me that they heard tree knocks, that something was kept on hitting on the side of the tent. So a couple of days later, we went out one night I was hearing it and we actually caught pictures of it cloaking.

25:29 It was about ninety cloaking into its invisible camouflage. I got pictures. Big. Well, if this is out of control, you need to start see you your lives. They keep recordings of those for thirty days and need to start putting those up on YouTube. Man, I know I have, I have. I put a couple of short I put a couple of pictures up in there asking people, I said, tell me what you see. This wild stuff. Dude, that Mark Twain is crazy. Have you have you reached out to Miguel from Sasquatch Theory yet? Yes? I have, Yes I have. That's that's what I was telling the chat. I left him a message on one of his videos because he hasn't got an email that you can get a hold of him. I want him to come out you know, this is real. I want him to try to come out here and do a you know, a couple of nights camp and investigation with me, because it's almost every night, you know, we got something going on. It's just like for some reason or another, they are attracted to this spot that I'm at and I don't get it because what I've understood about these creatures, they usually follow the game. They don't stay in one spot for too long.

26:41 I've talked to people from ROLLA and Rolla's got some crazy stuff going on, and see Madison County is to the ease. That whole area down there is just wild. Dude. Oh it's it's absolutely wild. I am. I don't want to say my Zach County that I'm in because of these trops. They caused me a lot of but just put it this way. You know, I'm close to Renolds County and there's a lot, a lot of activity I don't like. I said, I don't know why this spot is so freaking hot, but it is constantly active. Now, I don't feel like my chat is scared that something's gonna happen to me. But I feel like if it was gonna happen, it would have done it Saturday night when it lifted the tent door open.

27:27 Oh my goodness, that's wild. Hey Jack, how's it going? Fantastic? Everything considered? How are you doing? Hey? Doing well? Search story goes like this. It was years ago. I'm on the side of the road. I'm hate shiking, and it's dark, and the cars are coming past. And as they're coming past, I can see like about two or three football fields ahead of me, you know, And I noticed when this one car comes by, something running full force at me. At first I thought it was a gorilla.

28:10 I mean, it was that big, and the smell was just overbearing. It ate people. Whatever was running at me eight people. You could smell death like two hundred few yards away, like two football fields away. And like this other car came and it was closer than this other car came and it was closer, and then this brother pulled over and picked me up. And I mean I was a freak. I was just babbling like an idiot. Oh, thank you so much, Oh thank you. I'm just going right down the road. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know. I mean, it just scared the bejeebers out at me. Man, But yeah, I have a feeling it was a bigfoot.

28:56 Wow. Can you share where that happened? I'm really sure it was years and years ago. Man, and I traveled the United States extensively, extensively. I've been to every single state in the United States at least three times, most some of them a whole lot, more like Texas and California, my Florida. Oh, ohat Washington, Maine. I've been to those countless times. Just love them. And yeah, I'm pretty sure it was in the Appalachian Mountains. Brother, They're coming down on the East.

29:37 Coast, gotcha. Gotcha? Well that sounds wild. So you were on the side of the road or you were in a car when you could smell it. I was on the side of the road hitchhiking, and I was like, well, it's dark, you know, there's no sense in being out of your edge hiking because people really don't like to pick people up at night time. And I was just like scroll, man, I'm I'm not gonna go pitch a tent. I'm just I just sat there and just continued hittiking. And then, like I said, this car was coming and buy and I stuck my thumb out and that's when I noticed this thing. At first, I thought it was like a gorilla, but the running was not like a gorilla. It was like a like a man. I mean it was running. It had to have eaten people just by the way it was running at me. I mean it was coming in for the kill.

30:34 Oh that's wild. Well, Jack, I appreciate you coming up
