A family moves deep into Washington’s Olympic Peninsula searching for a quieter life.


Then the nighttime activity begins.


Whistles outside the windows. Massive tracks circling the house. Strange vocalizations heard by a child in the middle of the night. A towering figure standing near Highway 101 in broad daylight.


In this intense conversation, Matt Parrish of Olympic Sasquatches and Beyond shares years of encounters near Lake Quinault, Amanda Park, and Lake Crescent — one of the most active Bigfoot regions in North America.


Matt describes repeated activity around his family’s property, unsettling experiences during nighttime gifting sessions, local residents quietly acknowledging “forest people” in the area, and the moment he realized something massive had been watching them from the tree line.


This episode includes:
• Olympic Peninsula Sasquatch encounters
• Highway 101 daylight sighting
• Strange vocalizations near a family home
• Massive tracks and physical impressions
• Nighttime activity near Lake Quinault
• Gifting encounters deep in the woods
• Firsthand eyewitness testimony from Washington State


Some encounters stay with you long after the interview ends.


If you enjoy serious Bigfoot eyewitness accounts, immersive encounter stories, and firsthand reports from active areas, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.319
My daughter, she's seven at the time. She comes running

2
00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:05.799
into the kitchen and she goes, Dad. She goes, I know,

3
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.359
you're trying to sneak on me. And I said what

4
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.599
And I look back at the window and it's stopped

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.560
and there's nothing happening there. So I said, what are

6
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.440
you talking about, trying to sneak on you? And she goes, well,

7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.320
you're outside my window. And this is how she described it.

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.039
Not you know that she meant anything by it, but

9
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.480
she said that you're trying to sound like a Chinese zombie.

10
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.280
You're listening to Big Flat Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

11
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.079
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

12
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.840
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

13
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.200
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.119
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

15
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.119
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

16
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.439
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

17
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.880
So settle in because today you'll hear another account that

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.560
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

19
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.079
So stay with us for Society. Welcome back to another episode.

20
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.359
We've got the privilege of talking to Sir Matt Parrish

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:10.040
today from the Olympics, Sasquatches and Beyond podcast out there

22
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.879
in Washington State. And Matt is man. He's he's all

23
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.359
sorts of things. He is a researcher, investigator. You've probably

24
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.319
seen him on a few things on TV, maybe so far,

25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.040
but he's really doing some cool stuff in getting himself

26
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.959
out there, and he's in the perfect place to do that.

27
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.040
So welcome to the show, Matt. How are you today?

28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.079
I'm doing pretty good. Thank you for having me.

29
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.680
Absolutely if you go over to the YouTube side and

30
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.959
subscribe there you can see Matt has a great outdoors

31
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.159
background behind him, and who knows what you'll see in

32
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.359
the forest behind him. Actually we might even see Sasquatch himself,

33
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.640
maybe some deer. I don't know what you guys got

34
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:54.239
out there, but.

35
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.840
Yeah, a little bit of it.

36
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.239
All the deer have been coming in, especially right behind

37
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.000
here a lot, so you might see some deer.

38
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:03.359
They're not afraid.

39
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.599
Matt. My first question, of course, is because I know

40
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.800
you have quite the story, but I am curious. Different

41
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.960
people have been introduced to this topic in different ways.

42
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.400
How did you get introduced to Sasquatch.

43
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.479
To begin with, Matt, So, yeah, growing up, actually, I

44
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.479
would hear about it.

45
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.199
My dad. He was in law.

46
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.280
Enforcement, so when he come home, he'd watch the monster

47
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.400
shows and different things like that, you know, to try

48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.120
to get a break. We didn't watch much cops obviously

49
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.520
since he was a cop.

50
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.039
But different, different things like that. And I remember one

51
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.639
day I was in the school library. It was the

52
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.560
first grade, and there was a book something myths and

53
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.840
Legends and anyways.

54
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.639
I pulled it out and I opened it up and

55
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.000
there was that pitcher Patty and I saw that and

56
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.240
I was like, Okay, maybe this thing's real.

57
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:02.520
You know.

58
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.800
To me, that looked so real, and so I was

59
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.560
kind of interested, but it not as much as I

60
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:09.960
am now.

61
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:10.199
You know.

62
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.080
It's just something that you know, like if the show

63
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.199
came on TV, I'd be like, okay, let's watch that,

64
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.400
you know, go from.

65
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.560
There, gotcha? And so did you grow up in Washington State, then, Matt.

66
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.560
No, I actually grew up in East Texas, not far

67
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:32.599
from Houston, about forty five minutes northeast towards the Louisiana border.

68
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.479
Okay, so even growing up in East Texas in that area.

69
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.800
I mean you had the opportunity to really be connected

70
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:49.199
with some some wild bigfoot encounters or hearing some stories

71
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.319
over there. I mean that that southeast eastern part of

72
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.960
Texas really gets crazy. Did you do you remember running

73
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.960
into any stories of of sasquatch or bigfoot down in

74
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.919
that area when you're growing up there.

75
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.319
So grow growing up in the nineties, in the early nineties,

76
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.960
it was pretty taboo topic. It's not something you know,

77
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.839
if you saw one, you probably didn't tell anybody because

78
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.839
it's kind of kind of thing that would get you

79
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:20.920
put in a padded room.

80
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.240
Probably. You know.

81
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.600
A lot of the stuff that you know, there might

82
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.279
be an occasional story come across. A lot of people

83
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.720
would talk about wildcats, seeing big cats out there, which

84
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.000
you know, most of the big predators have been hunted out.

85
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.199
But as far as bigfoot goes, I don't really recall

86
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.720
too many people other than maybe once in a blue

87
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.480
moon somebody saying they found a footprint or something like that.

88
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.680
That's really interesting. It is crazy how things have really

89
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:01.279
changed in the community really overall, I mean looking far

90
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.639
back as the nineties and then you look at today,

91
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.959
how it is really not a taboo subject, and I

92
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639
mean you can if you're in the right area. I

93
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.800
mean you can. You can talk to most anyone and

94
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.879
they'll be like, oh, yeah, you know, I got a story.

95
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.680
I've heard something. Yeah, it's pretty wild. And so so

96
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.839
you you grew up down there in Texas. How did

97
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.399
how did life find you out in the Pacific Northwest?

98
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.319
How did that happen?

99
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.759
So every year I worked for the Texas Department of

100
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.879
Criminal Justice, and every year, the way our scheduling and

101
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.360
stuff goes, I could take a month off. I could

102
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.360
take eight days and end up getting a month because

103
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.680
it was four on four off. And so me and

104
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.560
my family we would just hit the West coast to

105
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.839
avoid the heat in August, and so we'd come all

106
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.240
the way up here and hang out in Washington, and

107
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.279
we'd traveled down all the way to San Diego and

108
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.560
just see the sites.

109
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.000
And in twenty.

110
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.120
Eighteen, we actually were staying on Lake Crescent and we

111
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.000
had I don't know, maybe my first encounter with something strange,

112
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.319
and that really kind of sparked my curiosity. And then

113
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.319
after that, I was like, we got to keep coming

114
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.319
back to Washington because I'm just curious at that point,

115
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.839
you know, you want to believe, but you're not really sure.

116
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.160
So I am bringing up the handy dandy Bigfoot Society

117
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.680
siting map that you can get to on Bigfoot Society

118
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.199
podcast dot com. And of course, Lake Crescent is that

119
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.439
beautiful lake in the Olympic National Park area over there

120
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.959
by you pass El Law on the way over to it,

121
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:52.399
Poor Angelus, that's the Lake Crescent we're talking about. Correct, Correct? Yeah,

122
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:57.480
come home, man. I will say there is stuff that's

123
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.160
on record and off record that I've heard of out

124
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.439
Lake Crescent, and I'm sure it's probably the same for you.

125
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.319
That area is wild.

126
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:11.000
It really is. I had no idea that, you know,

127
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.879
I didn't really know the history of bigfoot.

128
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.120
I knew just like Washington was a bigfoot thing because

129
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.920
everywhere you go you see bigfoot stuff.

130
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.560
But we were actually hiking, and we've been out all day.

131
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.319
This was October, it's actually my birthday, and so it

132
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.319
was that typical Pacific Northwest, not like what you see

133
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.439
behind me right now. It is the dreary, misty, moody vibe.

134
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.759
And you know, nothing, nothing weird happened. We came back

135
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.879
to the cabin, we settled in. We had some dinner

136
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.399
and we laid down around eleven o'clock. It was you know,

137
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.879
we played some games and stuff, and when we laid down,

138
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.120
there was just there was no white noise. It's just

139
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:58.600
dead silence right and on the ridge behind us, we

140
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.839
heard what I now would call the Ohio how and

141
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.439
it was just real and reverberated, and I remember listening

142
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.040
to it. I was like, I look over at my

143
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.240
wife and I was like, there's no way that I

144
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:17.519
never heard anything like that. So I started YouTube and

145
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.800
like different animals on the peninsula that could possibly make

146
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:21.480
that noise, and I.

147
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.360
Couldn't find anything.

148
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.920
And I remember I think it was from Monster quist

149
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.720
or one of those one of those shows where they

150
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.759
had some sounds. So I started googling those and that's

151
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.240
when I came across the Ohio how and what I

152
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.519
heard was very similar, but not exactly the same, but

153
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:40.919
pretty close.

154
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:52.279
My goodness, It's just enough to get your curiosity as to, okay,

155
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.320
what's going on out here, because there are other things

156
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.559
that happened in the Olympics in the Olympic Peninsula, I'm

157
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.399
sure as you figured out, so then there must have

158
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.720
been a point, obviously where you decided to actually move

159
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.440
to this area.

160
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:14.679
Right, Well, in twenty twenty one, we had the opportunity

161
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.360
to move to Lake Crescent, and so I told my

162
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.799
wife we'd actually been looking for, like when I retired

163
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.799
from the state of Texas, to move up here and

164
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.279
so that we are like maybe place like a tiny

165
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.120
house so that way we could jump back and forth

166
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.159
in the summertimes to have a cool place to chill.

167
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.000
And we actually ended up having the opportunity.

168
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.840
So we got back to Texas and we sat there

169
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.200
and we thought about it, and uh, we didn't have

170
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.159
to think about it very long, and like two weeks

171
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.440
later we were packed up and moving to Lake Quinault,

172
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.519
which is actually on the western side of the peninsula,

173
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.720
right not far from the coast, maybe about.

174
00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:01.080
Oh my godness, and into the fire because l I

175
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:08.960
think is even it has even more wild activity. That's

176
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.080
just going off of things that have been reported. I mean,

177
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.080
I've gotten witnesses that have experienced telepathy. There, multiple bigfoot

178
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:25.960
crossings over the years, howls, all sorts of wild wild things.

179
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.159
So you you set up shop over there in Lake Quanault, yes,

180
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.480
and man, stuff must have started happening for you.

181
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.360
Yeah, Actually, I had no idea it was a big

182
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:39.080
foot hotspot.

183
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.360
When we moved there, it was just there was an

184
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.039
opportunity to live there, right, So that's why we and

185
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.519
housing here is extremely difficult, I'll say so anybody who's

186
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.080
planning on moving to the Olympic Peninsula, please do.

187
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.000
Your research before you just dive off head first.

188
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.080
How so is it just really expensive.

189
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.600
Or it's a really expensive and it's very limited, there's

190
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.240
not very much. Most places there's a three year waiting

191
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.799
list unless you're just lucky, two to three year waiting

192
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:16.200
lists if you're like looking for apartments here. So we

193
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.320
ended up getting this little cabin over on Lake guanaul

194
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.679
And when I was over there the very first year,

195
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.159
around like eleven o'clock to one o'clock, there's the deer

196
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.159
I was telling you about around eleven to.

197
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.519
Yeah, eleven to two o'clock in the morning. Sorry, I

198
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.039
lost my concentration. We would smell.

199
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.000
Kind of a mild musky smell, kind of a game smell,

200
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:49.440
but nothing like overpowering or you know, like dead dogs

201
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.279
or anything like that. It was just a gamey smell, right,

202
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.759
And so I thought maybe a bear was coming in

203
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.559
close to the.

204
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.039
Back of the house. So I put up a floodlight.

205
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.399
And I would I would be sitting in my recliner

206
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.559
and I remember seeing the floodlight go off, and I

207
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.360
would go and look trying to see this bear. But

208
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.600
there was There was never anything there by the and

209
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.960
it's not like it was afar, you know. I'm maybe

210
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.120
like ten feet away from the window. So by the

211
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.720
time I made it there, whatever was out there that

212
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.080
set that floodlight off was gone.

213
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.120
So that that happened our first year.

214
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:32.039
Nothing really exciting, I would say, And then we ended

215
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.039
up my wife she got pregnant and we needed to

216
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.799
move into a bigger house. We needed a three bedroom

217
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.759
instead of two bedroom, and so the house next to

218
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.440
us was available. You know, in the neighborhood that we

219
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.559
lived in, the property that we were on had five

220
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.639
cabins on it, but they were all vacant. At one time,

221
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.720
they were used as like seasonal housing for the lodge

222
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.960
there on the lake, but they didn't they they quit

223
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.200
renting them out, so most of them just stayed vacant

224
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.480
in the landlord she lived down in Anaheim, so it

225
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.440
was really just us and like three other people in

226
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.279
that subdivision there on the lake and.

227
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.720
My wife we move in there. We're in there for

228
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:17.120
a week.

229
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.159
I mean, it's honestly, I told you housing was difficult

230
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.879
to find. I would have burned this thing to the

231
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.000
ground if it was my choice. It was trashed out

232
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.039
from the seasonal employees.

233
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.320
So we fix it up.

234
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.480
This house is actually right on the tree line now

235
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.240
to Olympic National Park, and there's nothing all the way

236
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.240
up to I guess clay Lock and then forks, so

237
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.480
like an hour and a half of just wilderness.

238
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.480
We're in this house. My parents, we've been there for

239
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.320
just a week. My parents came down and they stayed

240
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.600
with us. That very first night that they were there.

241
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.799
They my stepmom she made some seafood gumbo, and my

242
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.399
wife had been craving, you know, from the South, so

243
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.120
she missed that kind of Cajun cooking, and so she

244
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.720
made this big pot and we kind of hung out

245
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:17.840
on the porch till around ten thirty eleven o'clock, and

246
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.480
we decided to call it quits and go in for

247
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.799
the night because the next day we were playing on

248
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.159
getting up early and taking them to see all the sights,

249
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:31.080
the beaches, the rainforest and whatnot. Well, we're we lay down,

250
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.200
we go to sleeping. Around two o'clock, my wife she

251
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.399
wakes me up. We're in my daughter's room and we

252
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.000
let my parents take our bedroom and there in their bedroom,

253
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.720
our bedroom, the one that they were staying in, there's

254
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.799
a window unit that we had just installed for air conditioning,

255
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.960
and in my daughter's room we just had the window open.

256
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.320
This is the it's like June, the end of June.

257
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:56.919
Two o'clock in the morning.

258
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.720
My wife wakes me up and she goes, there's something

259
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.200
out side of the house. And I said, yeah, there's

260
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.000
lots of stuff, go back to sleep, you know, it's

261
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:11.799
all riding forest out there. And she goes, no, She's like,

262
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.600
there's something out there banging around. And so I lay

263
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:17.639
there and I listened and I couldn't hear anything. But

264
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.399
right as I go to lay my head back down

265
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:24.200
on the pillow, I heard this real sharp whistle and

266
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:30.799
right on the window. So now I'm awake, and I'm like,

267
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.759
who the you know, because this did not sound like

268
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.080
a bird. So I'm laying there and I'm listening and

269
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:37.840
I can hear. You know, I told you this the

270
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.080
end of June. So our grass is kind of crunchy

271
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:48.759
and all dry and brittle, and I can hear someone

272
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.960
walking away from the window. And so now I lay

273
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.360
there and I'm listening, and they're like they're headed away

274
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.720
from the house, right, and so I'm trying to I

275
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.519
don't hear anything about forty maybe forty forty five minutes

276
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.080
or what it felt like. That passed, and I kind

277
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.440
of nodded back off and went back to sleep. The

278
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.000
next morning, I get up, I go outside and my

279
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.799
parents are out there. They just went outside that I

280
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.200
could hear them. They woke us up, and so I

281
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.120
went out there, and it's like, how'd y'all sleep? And

282
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.519
my dad said, he goes, well, let's he said, let's

283
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.240
talk about that for me.

284
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.720
He goes, well, how did you sleep?

285
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.080
First?

286
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.159
And I said I slept pretty good. I said, oh,

287
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.360
I said, you know, this thing happened, and I told him.

288
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.639
And I can see he's got a different look on

289
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.120
his face, you know, like nothing ever really bothers this man,

290
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.720
except for like when it comes to this family. And

291
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.639
I wouldn't say it was he had a bothered look,

292
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.440
but he had a different look on his face. Right,

293
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.720
And he looks over at my stepmom and he's like, yeah, okay,

294
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.639
around two o'clock. That's the same time we had something happen.

295
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.639
I said, well, what happened to you? And he said, well,

296
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:05.079
something came up to your air conditioning unit and banged

297
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:09.640
on it, just started tapping on it real hard. And

298
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.000
so I said, have you been over there yet?

299
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.599
He said no.

300
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.920
So we go and we walk over there, and the

301
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.319
first thing we see I wouldn't say tracks, but I

302
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.200
would say impressions. They were about seventeen inch in length

303
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.000
where the grass had been flattened down, and they came

304
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.920
from the road up along the tree line and up

305
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.440
to their bedroom window that they were at where that

306
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:39.559
our bedroom, where that window unit was. And right there

307
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.960
we found a rock that was, you know, just a smooth,

308
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:48.640
polished riverstone really, and that's what was used to bang

309
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.000
on that window unit. And then the impressions came right

310
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.279
down along the side of the house, right up to

311
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.079
the window where me and my wife were sleeping. And

312
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.000
then they doubled back and then they went around the

313
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.480
back into the house and up on the other side.

314
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.759
Now on the other side of the house, Uh, there's

315
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:09.960
it's kind of like a sun room. But we had

316
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.960
our garbage in there, our trash, and I told you

317
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.039
the night before my stepmom had made a bunch of

318
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.720
seafood gumbo, and in that trash was all the shrimp

319
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.599
pillings and crab and stuff like that. And so right

320
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.480
there on the glass there's what appears to be a.

321
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:29.039
Big forearm impression.

322
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.880
You could see there wasn't hair left behind, but you

323
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:37.039
could see the impressions of from the wetness, you know,

324
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:42.279
like what looked like hair strands on the on the glass.

325
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.160
And then the impressions went on down to the road

326
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.720
and I'm assuming back up towards the dead end where

327
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.960
we lost them. So at that point I'm lost. I'm like,

328
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.359
there's no way. Like I've heard the stories I've heard

329
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.920
people since we've lived here said, oh, there's some tracks

330
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.839
over here. I saw something, you know, but now it's

331
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.960
happening on our property. And so that was my first

332
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.440
realization that we're probably not dealing.

333
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:15.640
With a bear.

334
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:24.240
My goodness, what was the Did you mention the length

335
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.839
between tracks?

336
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.079
No, it was approximately like two and a half to

337
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.440
three feet in length.

338
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:36.480
Not not this great big, you know, It's just there

339
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.319
was a decent little stride, but nothing drastic.

340
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:47.079
Okay. And so then after experiencing that, you usually have

341
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.960
people will react like, oh this is They'll either be like,

342
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.960
oh this is cool, it's happening to me, or they'll

343
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.400
get really freaked out and be like, oh my goodness,

344
00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.839
we've got to get out of here. Did either of

345
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:01.839
the what has happened to you? Or is it something different?

346
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.039
It was kind of I guess you could say, like disbelief,

347
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:08.640
like still not sure, you know, like you're like, okay,

348
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.920
I process of elimination. I'm sure it's not a bear,

349
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.640
but maybe it's somebody playing a prank.

350
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:15.279
I don't know.

351
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:21.759
I'm still kind of not totally sold on the idea

352
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.160
of it being a sasquatch. It wasn't until a couple

353
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.359
nights later, after my parents had left. I go to

354
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.559
the kitchen. It's around ten o'clock at night, and I

355
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.400
go to the kitchen to get a drink of water

356
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.119
or the fridge. And I told you this house had

357
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:42.680
been been trashed out by the lodge, by.

358
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.880
The seasonal employees.

359
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.960
Our kitchen window was busted completely out, so I had

360
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:51.480
a piece of cardboard window up over there, piece of cardboard.

361
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:51.759
Over the window.

362
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.720
While we were waiting on the new window to be ordered.

363
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.039
And a lot of those cabins, you can't just run

364
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.319
down to home Depot or Low's and grab a new window.

365
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.079
They don't make those sizes anymore. So we had to

366
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.839
special order it. And while we're waiting on the window

367
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.400
that was up there, and so I'm standing there, I'

368
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.119
getting my my drink of water, and this cardboard starts

369
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:21.359
flexing in and out and it's not like like wind

370
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.119
or anything like that, you know, It's it's almost got

371
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.759
a rhythm to it, like something. And I can hear

372
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.680
the adhesive peeling away from the tape that I used

373
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.200
from the from the window. So I'm listening to I'm

374
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.640
looking at this. I'm thinking still not thinking bigfoot. I'm

375
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.640
just thinking, like, how quick can I get to my gun,

376
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.039
you know, because I'm thinking maybe a bear or something.

377
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:42.880
I don't know.

378
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.440
Back then, I thought bears were these things that would

379
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.440
just break in your house and stuff, But here on

380
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.880
the Olympics, not so much.

381
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:55.000
Actually they run from people. They're they're pretty scared of people.

382
00:21:55.519 --> 00:22:00.759
But anyways, so I'm thinking this, you know, how quick

383
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:02.920
can I get to my gun? And my daughter, she's

384
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.119
seven at the time, she comes running into the kitchen

385
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.519
and she.

386
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.759
Goes, Dad. She goes, I know, you're trying to sneak

387
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:10.599
on me. And I said what?

388
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.680
And I looked back at the window and it stopped

389
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.559
and there's nothing happening there, and so I said, what

390
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.119
are you talking about? Trying to sneak on you? And

391
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.240
she goes, well, you're you're outside my window. And this

392
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.119
is how she described it, not you know that she

393
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.920
meant anything by it, but she said that you're trying

394
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:33.440
to sound like a Chinese zombie outside my window. And

395
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.079
I said, what are you talking about. You know, we

396
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.519
do play a lot of pranks, as any family does,

397
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.799
you know. But I told her, I said, I said,

398
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:46.240
I'm not outside your window talking like a Chinese zombie.

399
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:50.240
That was her interpretation of it. It sounded Chinese and

400
00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:55.000
it sounded very zombie like gurgled to her. And that's

401
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.759
when I realized there had to be two of these things. So,

402
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.240
you know, next morning I go out to investigate, and

403
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:01.680
of course there's two sets.

404
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.319
Of tracks around the house.

405
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.079
And when I say tracks, these were tracks, not impressions.

406
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:10.680
Most of them were impressions.

407
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.440
But I did find one track and where it had

408
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:18.319
stepped into some a sandy spot out there, and so.

409
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.440
I told my wife, I said, we've I'm still.

410
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.680
Still like maybe someone's pranking me, right, you know, I'm

411
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:31.440
from Texas, you know, haha, jokes on him kind of thing.

412
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.559
So I told my wife, I said, let's get the ring.

413
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.160
Camera out that we had when we were down in

414
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.200
Texas and set it up and I'll set it facing

415
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:46.519
that side of the the tree line where these things

416
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.799
appeared to be coming from.

417
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.680
So nothing happened for a couple of nights.

418
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.119
I actually had to go back in and change the

419
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:55.559
settings on it because my cat kept setting it off,

420
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:59.480
our outdoor cat, and I changed it to where it

421
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.279
would only pick up like something of some size, like

422
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:02.759
a person.

423
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.759
Right. And so.

424
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.920
I get up one morning, It's been about three four

425
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.000
nights since I've had it up. I get up one

426
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.640
morning getting ready to go to work, and I see

427
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:20.799
on the camera it says at three oh one in

428
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.519
the morning that there was a person outside the house.

429
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:28.599
So I just kind of kind of, you know, I'll

430
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.480
look at it in a minute. When I finished getting ready.

431
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.960
I'm thinking it's probably just something else that set it off.

432
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.559
I don't know, I'm not thinking Bigfoot or whatever.

433
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:43.680
Anyways, I get dressed and I sit down and I

434
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.440
look and I see this thing coming around the corner

435
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:50.720
and kind of coming up close to the camera. And

436
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:55.279
I can't really see it too good yet, So I

437
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.920
don't really have a lot of time left, so I

438
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.079
hurry up and I send it to my dad and

439
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.559
I said, hey, I said, can you have your tech

440
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.880
guy maybe in his off time, you know, play around

441
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.000
with this video and clean it up and see what

442
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.319
it see what's there for me? And I get off

443
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.279
work and there's a still shot of what looks to.

444
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.160
Me like a sasquatch standing outside my house.

445
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.559
Goodness, And so yeah, I was just that moment right

446
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.920
there when I saw it on camera, that changed.

447
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.839
That changed my life. Everything was different after that.

448
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.759
Is this. I'm guessing you probably have stuff about this

449
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.160
on your channel as well where people can see that, or.

450
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:41.799
I've talked a little bit about it, you know, just

451
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:43.759
like conversing with some of the guests that we have

452
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.240
a lot of It's been put out there. It was

453
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:53.079
on Expedition Bigfoot, It's been on Flash Beauty right Sailors.

454
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.480
So I try to keep the show about the guests.

455
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:01.440
Gotcha, you know that's that's really cool. Mind goodness, So

456
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.880
you're that that sounds like it's the thing that pushed

457
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:09.319
you over the edge? Was seeing that screenshot? Am I

458
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:10.680
correct on that? Or what do you think?

459
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.119
Yes?

460
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:16.119
Yeah, seeing that screenshot? Because now I know my only

461
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:20.720
two neighbors. I'll have to say this one she's in

462
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.920
her mid sixties and the mother is in her eighties.

463
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.079
And one lives on one end of the street and

464
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.119
the other one lives at the dead end. Who and

465
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.160
so I don't think neither one of them were running

466
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.680
around at two or three in the morning trying to

467
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.480
to prank me.

468
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.880
I got they got stories? Though? Have they they do?

469
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.200
Actually, after I got the picture, I went down to

470
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.160
my neighbor and at the at the dead end, she

471
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.279
was closer to the woods where these things were coming out,

472
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:53.240
and I asked her. I said, hey, I said, have

473
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.720
you had a problem with people messing around your house

474
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.359
at nighttime? And she goes, oh, I said, cause we're

475
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.200
having stuff happen at our house and she's like, oh,

476
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.640
like the campers And I said campers. So now I'm like,

477
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.559
now I'm like second guessing myself. I said campers. I said,

478
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:11.519
what do you mean campers. It's like there's like some

479
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.599
homeless people over in these woods or something. And she

480
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:17.960
goes I said, well, look, this is what I found

481
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.000
and this is what's been going on. I shore my phone,

482
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:23.640
I shore the tracks, I show the video. I said,

483
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.839
so have you seen anything like this? And she just

484
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.559
kind of smiled and she's like, okay, She's like, how

485
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:33.319
much do you know about forest people?

486
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:34.680
Oh?

487
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.680
Man, I said, so, I said. So that's when I

488
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:37.960
told her.

489
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.519
I said, okay, I said, let's uh, let's just cut

490
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.119
the small talk.

491
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:43.279
You're talking about bigfoot.

492
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.160
And she's like yeah, She's like, what do you know

493
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.599
about them? And I said, well, I know they're here

494
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.039
in Washington. I mean, up until recently, I thought it

495
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.839
was just this kind of you know, I never knew

496
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.599
if I really believed in that, but I was curious,

497
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.799
and uh, you know, just from things that you see

498
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.039
on TV, you go, well, maybe maybe that could exist.

499
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:08.160
I don't know. And so she started telling me.

500
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.279
She's like, yeah, there's a group of them, about three

501
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.240
or four that come through here, mostly three. Sometimes occasionally

502
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.359
there'll be a fourth one that shows up every now

503
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:20.680
and then. But they passed through the subdivision and then

504
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.799
I got to talk to my other neighbors and they

505
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.400
started opening up sharing their experiences too, so I was

506
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.200
not the only one in this subdivision having experiences.

507
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:37.039
Okay, so that man, once you get that information, did

508
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:42.039
that change things for you? How you how you are

509
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:47.319
approaching this subject that is literally in your backyard or

510
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.000
how do things go after that?

511
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:49.920
Well?

512
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:53.720
Yeah, me and my wife we had talks, and you know,

513
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.200
we established some rules very quickly, like as far as

514
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.640
like at nighttime we close all the windows, or when

515
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.359
it starts getting dusk, we make sure that all the

516
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.440
curtains are closed.

517
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.400
I did convince my wife.

518
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.759
I said, you know, I don't think that these things

519
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.200
are I think if they wanted to do harm, they

520
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:17.400
could have. We've been out there plenty of times, and

521
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.119
I'm not saying that they're not dangerous. It's maybe if

522
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:24.559
you're in certain areas during certain times of the year,

523
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.920
I think so. But right at our property, I feel

524
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.759
like we had kind of a mutual respect thing, you know,

525
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.319
like the forest was theirs and my yard was mine.

526
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.000
You know, they never really seemed to mess with us

527
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.759
other than coming around the house. And when I stopped

528
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.079
and I thought about a lot of the activity that

529
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.920
we've been experienced. It wasn't really what I would call aggressive.

530
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:54.759
It was more curiosity type activity. So I did convince

531
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:59.559
her to leave the kitchen window uncovered. She was very reluctant,

532
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.079
but all you could see was in the kitchen window

533
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.279
in the kitchen area. You couldn't see in the rest

534
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:08.240
of the house. And I told her, I said, the

535
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.559
reason for that being is that if these things are

536
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.240
out there in the dark and they're watching the house,

537
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:16.119
you know, I kind of want them to see a

538
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.920
little bit of normalcy in the kitchen so they kind

539
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.279
of see, you know, maybe I don't know, maybe I

540
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:25.920
was thinking that maybe they would kind of trust us

541
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.119
a little more, maybe see that we're not like, you know,

542
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:32.720
in their sharpening knives and loading guns and that kind

543
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.960
of thing, because at that time, I really didn't know

544
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:39.640
what they are, or I still.

545
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.319
Don't know what they are. I have I'm very torn.

546
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.400
Sometimes I'm on the fence, sometimes I'm in the primate camp,

547
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:47.480
and then sometimes I'm.

548
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.079
Back in the hominid camp.

549
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.480
So I'm like, just based off of my own experiences,

550
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:55.519
you know, So I'm right there on the fence somewhere

551
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.839
as far as that goes, I never experienced anything as

552
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:01.440
far as.

553
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:03.039
Mind speak or.

554
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:08.319
We did have one night where we were laying in

555
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:13.240
bed and we experienced this h This was very early on,

556
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.079
this feeling of dread like I couldn't explain it, just

557
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.119
I had to this feeling that you have to leave,

558
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.400
you know, and I but I knew logically that made

559
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.799
no sense and it and it disappeared quickly as it came.

560
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:38.359
So, okay, has has anyone on the property ever had

561
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:42.559
a sighting of of anything besides what you had seen

562
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.880
on the recording that time?

563
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.880
So later on I would actually go on to have

564
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.680
an actually an actual sighting. My wife had a sighting.

565
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.480
I don't believe my daughter ever had a sighting. If

566
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.839
she did, she didn't, she never told us. But the

567
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.240
odd thing was the two year old that I have.

568
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:10.720
When she was like one, we went to Forks and

569
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:13.880
we went to the Bigfoot Museum or the Bigfoot Store there,

570
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.160
and in there they have a big statue of this

571
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:20.079
giant hulking Sasquatch, you know, And I thought that would

572
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.359
terrify most kids, but her, she just kind of laughed

573
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.480
and giggled and thought it was the coolest thing.

574
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.839
Like she it was really weird.

575
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:29.680
She kind of looked at it like she recognized it,

576
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.519
which I thought was odd. You know, I was wondering,

577
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:34.000
like had she ever seen that.

578
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:38.480
Out from her room out in the woods.

579
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.559
I don't know, but yeah, in two and twenty twenty four,

580
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.039
I had a sighting. I was going to get breakfast.

581
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:50.319
I was going to get some breakfast sausage, and I

582
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:55.000
was on Highway one oh one and as I was,

583
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.160
as I was going to what they call north Shore,

584
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:05.519
there's a little Orange General store there when I got

585
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.640
almost to the because like to get out of our

586
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.799
subdivision you had to kind of backtrack a little bit

587
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.400
and then hit one on one and then go up.

588
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.960
So as I'm coming back up towards like what would

589
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.240
be the back end or the back area of my house,

590
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.119
around ten o'clock in the morning, it was February, I

591
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:28.079
saw I think it was trying to cross one on

592
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.559
one and it was standing in a group of alder trees,

593
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:35.279
so it was pretty bare. There was nothing there, and

594
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.680
that the whole thing just really caught me off guard.

595
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.920
I wasn't prepared to see that right there, you know,

596
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:44.440
especially during the daytime like that.

597
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.079
Ten o'clock in the morning. That was.

598
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.319
You know, most of our activity had occurred around dawn

599
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:56.599
or dusk, never you know, in the closer to noon

600
00:33:56.680 --> 00:34:00.559
like that. So it was just and in there very

601
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.319
statue risque. And the thing that I remember the most about.

602
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:04.240
It was the face.

603
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:09.199
The face looked so human, you know, I was just

604
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.199
I just did an interview with Michael Freeman and he

605
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:17.280
said that his dad described it as a prehistoric like caveman,

606
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.440
and I would have to almost agree with that assessment.

607
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:21.639
You know.

608
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.159
The face that I remember, the nose was just it

609
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:29.760
wasn't like a flared out nose. The the actor from

610
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:37.039
The Green Mile that played the prisoner, his nose looked

611
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:41.960
it was almost identical to that, you know. It was

612
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.239
it was very human, but it was kind of like

613
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:51.000
the nostrils were flared or something. The skin all around

614
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.360
the face area was almost like an asphalt color. It

615
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:59.079
was like a milky gray, and the hair wasn't But

616
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:03.800
what I saw was this big, ripping, hulking, muscular thing.

617
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:06.880
It was muscular, but it wasn't like this big. It

618
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.119
didn't have this eight pack thing. It was just very

619
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:16.159
kind of a slim and almost looked like a like

620
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:19.800
an oversized chimpanzee, Like the way their body, the way

621
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:21.840
their stomach is just kind of flat, you know, not

622
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:28.119
really bulging or anything like that. And the head did

623
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.719
not have the classic patty cone. It had a slight

624
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.559
curvature to it, but it wasn't like this big sagital

625
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:41.960
crest thing. So I don't recall seeing any breasts, so

626
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.519
I'm assuming it was a male. I didn't look down.

627
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:50.159
I was more focused on the face. That was what

628
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:54.800
really caught my attention. I remember my skin feeling like

629
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.559
just this tingle, like this almost kind of like a burning,

630
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.719
like on fire. And when I pulled over when I

631
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:04.280
went the first place I could pull over was the

632
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:08.480
north Shore and grocery, and I called my wife immediately.

633
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.760
I was like, I don't know how to tell you this.

634
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.800
I you know, I just need you. I just need

635
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:16.159
to tell you. I don't care if you believe it

636
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.519
or not, you know, but I have to tell someone.

637
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.159
And so I told her and she was like, she's like,

638
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.760
I believe you. She's like I have no, you know,

639
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:26.679
especially with everything that I've.

640
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:27.199
Been going on.

641
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.840
And up until that point, we had seen glimpses of

642
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.800
them in the force. But it's just like something big

643
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:38.800
moving through the trees.

644
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:38.880
You know.

645
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:43.679
Or maybe at nighttime you would see a silhouette of

646
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.559
something streaked by the house real quick, and then you

647
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:49.239
would go out the next morning, of course, and we'd

648
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.840
find the impressions or tracks or whatever.

649
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:53.840
You know.

650
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:56.239
We we did have a lot of elk, and so

651
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.519
we were pretty familiar with elk. When they would come

652
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:00.440
around the house, they went and just streaked the house

653
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.639
at night time. They wouldn't just take off, and normally

654
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:08.119
they were in herds like ten to twelve, and so

655
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.400
we're very familiar.

656
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:11.440
With how they operate.

657
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.480
And occasionally you would have something come around the house

658
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.119
in the dark that would operate different.

659
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:18.519
Just the way it moved, the movement of.

660
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:22.159
It, that's incredible. And that how far away from you

661
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.400
was that again when you had those fighting.

662
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:31.360
I would say maybe twenty five feet or so.

663
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:33.960
It was right it was like right there off the

664
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:35.800
side of the road as I was coming around the curb.

665
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:41.320
And I remember the other thing I remember was the size.

666
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.400
It was at least three approximately three four feet taller

667
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.360
than my truck. And when I'm standing right by my truck,

668
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.079
I'm six foot, so my truck was right at six feet, so.

669
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:56.079
This was around ten foot. That's I.

670
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:00.400
I often think that maybe it might have been the

671
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.800
same one that we captured in the ring camera because

672
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:08.199
the eve of my house is nine foot and the

673
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:14.000
individual in the ring camera is slightly above the eve

674
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:18.079
of the house, and so we always estimated that that

675
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:22.000
one was around ten foot and height, and we also

676
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:26.159
found seventeen inch tracks to coincide. I actually it was

677
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:28.800
funny because I actually thought he was standing further down

678
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:31.119
on the corner of the house. And it wasn't until

679
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:35.639
I talked to the detective that actually kind of cleaned

680
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:39.480
everything up. It's like, actually, he's like, there's something right

681
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:41.880
there on the wall in front. He's like, is there

682
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.639
a window or something? And I was like, I said, yeah,

683
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:49.159
I said the bathroom window. And my wife, she was

684
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:52.000
eight months pregnant then when this was captured, by the way,

685
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:56.000
and we would always leave the window slightly cracked at night,

686
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:02.440
you know, without getting two much into the women's stuff.

687
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.360
I think that you might have had something to do

688
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:06.360
with it coming to.

689
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:10.000
The window, absolutely absolutely, man.

690
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.719
But I went out there and that's where I found

691
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.159
the tracks, right where he told me to look and

692
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.159
so I was like, wow, that just kind of blew

693
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:23.039
me away. Now that seventeen inch that Tim foot Tod guy,

694
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:27.519
we almost never ever saw him, maybe once, like every

695
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.960
other year that set of tracks would show up, but

696
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.320
it seemed to be consistent between a thirteen and a

697
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:39.400
fifteen inch track coming through off and on time, off

698
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:40.400
and on throughout the year.

699
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:48.880
Okay, that's incredible. So that sighting was just on it

700
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:53.920
looks like the west like west side of Lake quanaal

701
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:59.400
one on one just right there kind of by Amanda Park.

702
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.760
I think area is called maybe.

703
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:04.199
That's that's actually where I lived, was Amanda Park. I

704
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:06.679
tell people Amanda Park and they go, oh, I don't

705
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:12.519
you know Rand Park is actually on the west end

706
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:13.559
of Lake Quinault.

707
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.960
Yeah, that's wild. And did you say your your wife

708
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:18.039
had a sighting as well?

709
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:19.199
Well?

710
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:23.159
She she would see glimpses, shadows, silhouettes, things like that.

711
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:28.960
I went out one night and I had actually recorded

712
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:29.639
with my phone.

713
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:35.519
So after maybe two years into this, I talked to you.

714
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:38.000
Do you know Mel Skahan? Oh?

715
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.719
Yeah, yeah, I've never talked to Mel, but from what

716
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:41.920
I've heard, he's a great guy.

717
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.320
Yeah, And so I he kind of from the get go,

718
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:48.840
like I had no idea, like I'm reaching out to people.

719
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.760
I reached out to Doug Hicheck.

720
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.920
And and he told me some stuff, and then I

721
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:57.559
got in touch with Mel. I can't remember if it

722
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:01.519
was through Doug or someone, but so Doug was like,

723
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:06.559
you know, Mel was like, if you if you haven't tried,

724
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:08.880
you should try gifting, you know, if you feel like,

725
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:12.199
you know, the behavior isn't threatening and stuff. So after

726
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:18.079
about two years no threatening type stuff, I started gifting

727
00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.840
and sometimes I would just put out I would try

728
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.280
different things. I would try shrimp because they seemed to

729
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.079
I mean, I can't prove that they like shrimp. Something

730
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.360
was coming and eating shrimp though, right it could have

731
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.599
been coons. But I would put out plums and I

732
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.880
would put out ten plums at a time, and consistently

733
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.400
four plums were left behind if they ever took them.

734
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.159
You know, I would say, ninety.

735
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:51.119
Ninety five ninety six percent of the time, the food

736
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:55.039
just rotted. You know, It's like they weren't interested in

737
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.199
messing with it. But when stuff would be messed with,

738
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:02.400
if something was taken, there would be four left behind.

739
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:04.800
And I always thought that was weird. And so I

740
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.519
was telling mel and he said, well, he said, there's

741
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:11.280
four people in your family, and I was like, exactly, Oh,

742
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:14.239
I never thought of that. Well, one night I go

743
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:19.360
out and this night it's in October, and it's just dead, calm,

744
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.400
there's nothing. I made it a point to go out

745
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.559
there at seven o'clock, like clockwork when I would gift.

746
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:31.079
And as I come around the corner, this tree just

747
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:34.360
falls in the corner of the property. And so I

748
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:36.559
kind of go over there and I got my torch,

749
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.400
my headlamp and I'm looking and I can't see nothing.

750
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:45.039
There's anyways, it's just dead still.

751
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:46.800
So I reach in my bag and I start, you know,

752
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:49.039
holding up like oranges and different things.

753
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:50.519
I'm showing them in my headlamp.

754
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:55.440
Not that I think that they speak English or understand,

755
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:57.440
but I'm just trying to show my demeanor, right, I'm

756
00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:59.239
not threatening.

757
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:02.320
That kind of thing. And so.

758
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.280
Anyways, I'm doing all this and one of the things

759
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.199
that I had in my hand was in I one

760
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:11.800
of the things that I would put out would be

761
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:16.960
bacon grease. And so I'm I go over and I'm

762
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:19.440
just popped the lid open. I had my back now

763
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:23.599
to the woods right behind me, maybe ten feet and

764
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:25.599
I just popped the lid off that bacon grease and

765
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:28.119
I'm scooping and spoon out to put on the on

766
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:32.840
the table, and I can hear just something massive coming

767
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.400
up behind me, and so I look over my shoulder

768
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:39.000
and there's a set of eyes looking back at me

769
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:44.039
red and but it's from the it's reflective from the

770
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.039
from the headlamp.

771
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:51.760
It's it's not glowing naturally or anything like that you

772
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.199
hear sometimes. And so.

773
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.800
I said, oh hey, and uh, it's like, how are you?

774
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.920
You know what I'm just like? And then under my

775
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:04.119
breath there's some explicives and but I record all this.

776
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:06.639
I got it all on my phone and I recorded

777
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:11.199
the whole encounter, and uh, anyways, after about five minutes,

778
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.679
it dawns on me that I'm holding a spoonful of

779
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:18.760
bacon grease and this probably is not a place I

780
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:22.159
want to be, you know, because it's not back and down.

781
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:25.679
But it keeps looking over to where that tree originally fell,

782
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.159
where I'd heard that tree, and there's something over there

783
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:32.440
just tearing up brush. Like one thing that we would

784
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:34.880
learn over the four and a half years, like if

785
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:38.360
you ever caught a glimpse of one, or you started

786
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.440
getting close to where you thought one might be, you know,

787
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:44.280
like during the daytime or something, and because you'd hear

788
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.960
a knock or something, something would happen over here that

789
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.760
would take your attention away. And then as are you

790
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:54.280
might see kind of an outline in the tree line,

791
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:56.880
like like the way it is now, you know, and

792
00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.920
I'd look. I'd be looking and I could see something

793
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.519
that didn't look right, and so I start getting close

794
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:05.039
and then something over here would just happen that would

795
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:08.320
take my attention totally off this and when you look back,

796
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:15.199
it's gone whatever it was there. So I kinda and

797
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:18.199
then doing the job that I did too, I learned

798
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:20.840
over the years that a lot of times the person

799
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:23.440
being the loudest, it's the person you need to worry

800
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:25.880
about the least. It's the one that's being the quietest,

801
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:28.320
it's the one that you need to kind of keep

802
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:28.840
an eye on.

803
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:31.360
Working in the criminal justice.

804
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:36.000
System, so this is going on over here, and I'm

805
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.320
just ignoring it, and like, now I can see this,

806
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:44.519
you know. After about five minutes, I decided this, this

807
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.639
has got to end somehow, right, So I was like

808
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:50.599
I'm just gonna leave. You can have whatever's here. And

809
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:52.480
I get to the corner of my house and I

810
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.159
turn around look over my shoulder and I can see

811
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:58.719
it now looking I can see just I hit it

812
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:01.440
in the face real quick with with the torch, and

813
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:03.920
I looked back. It was looking out from behind a

814
00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:09.519
big Douglas fur and it duck back immediately behind the tree.

815
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:11.800
And that's when I just I booked it. I just

816
00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:15.400
took off because I had never heard it close that distance.

817
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:20.239
I never heard it get that close. So I just yeah,

818
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.159
that that was one of the few times that really

819
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:27.719
scared me. And Mel actually thinks that there might have

820
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:32.159
been a third one there, and that's that third one

821
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:33.800
was on the tree the whole time, and I just

822
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:34.480
never knew it.

823
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:40.559
So some wild, wild wild stuff.

824
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:40.960
Are you.

825
00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:44.400
Are you still in that area or no?

826
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.000
As much as I would love to be, I had

827
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.559
to move for work purposes, and now I actually lived

828
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:54.559
not far from Lake Crescent where it all originally started

829
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:55.800
years ago.

830
00:46:56.039 --> 00:47:04.320
Okay, that's interesting. Oh my goodness, show, did did your

831
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.840
your podcast start then after the move to Lake Crescent?

832
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:09.760
It did? We?

833
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:10.400
Uh?

834
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.800
Well, there's I go out and I collaborate with a

835
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:15.320
lot of people. I go out with other.

836
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.840
Researchers and stuff, and sometimes they film things, and like when.

837
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:21.760
I did The Flash.

838
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:25.000
Of Beauty, there's so many questions. For years, people have

839
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:27.559
been kind of asking me. They're like, you know, why

840
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:31.000
don't you do something? Why don't you run around out

841
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.760
there with a camera and record your research and stuff?

842
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:38.199
And I'm just I'm not really big into making content.

843
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:43.199
It's not kind of my thing. But then then I

844
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:44.920
got to see in all the comments and people are like, well,

845
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:46.880
why didn't you do this or why didn't you do that?

846
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:49.679
You know, when they see other stuff that I've been in.

847
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:52.480
I was like, well, I did do maybe this, and

848
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:53.679
I maybe did do that.

849
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:56.039
It's just I don't have control over what makes it

850
00:47:56.079 --> 00:47:59.599
in a forty five minute segment, right. So I thought,

851
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:03.840
you know, people have been pressuring maybe a podcast would

852
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:06.800
be a good way to start talking about some of

853
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.239
that stuff. And then it just kind of grew. I

854
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:11.840
was like, I don't really like talking about me a

855
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:14.920
whole lot, you know, Uh, that gets kind of old fast.

856
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:17.760
So then we just started inviting some of the people

857
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:20.800
that I've met over the years onto the show, and

858
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:25.559
so it's kind of a combination of people with really

859
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:29.320
well known names in the UH in the industry, I

860
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.199
guess you could say, and and kind of their experiences.

861
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:36.480
But then we also have the brand new eyewitnesses like

862
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:42.199
James that we just aired, uh the last week or

863
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:46.159
this past week we've aired his story and UH, so

864
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.760
you get a little combination of both in there.

865
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:54.840
Which I mean, my goodness, Matt, you are in such

866
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:04.519
a fantastic area because just being a podcaster based out

867
00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:08.800
of this area and probably the connections that you have,

868
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.719
or the ones you could get by something as easy

869
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:18.320
as going into if I was in your shoes in

870
00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:21.840
this area, I would be like I would have business

871
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:25.119
cards and I would be getting talking to people in

872
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.599
like general store type deals in areas around the Peninsula

873
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:33.400
and just being like, hey, you know, this is what

874
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:37.159
I do. I like interviewing people that have had Bigfoot encounters.

875
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:41.000
Can I put stuff up? Or just you are You

876
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:47.000
have the potential to get to have conversations with people

877
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:52.599
that myself or any other Bigfoot podcast would never get

878
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:55.800
because you are an individual that lives in this area,

879
00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:01.360
and that puts you at just a very cool area.

880
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:05.400
You have that local you are the local and that

881
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:08.920
gives you so much power in this situation, which is

882
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:10.000
really really cool.

883
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:11.360
Yeah, thank you.

884
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.239
Yeah, We've started kind of putting it out there. I've

885
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.119
talked to so many people though over the years. I

886
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:20.760
got quite a few people lined up to come on

887
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:22.559
the show and talk about their experiences.

888
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:24.920
A lot of them.

889
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.280
You know, people seem to have a big interest in

890
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:30.360
the native culture side of things. And I lived on

891
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.280
the Quinault Reservation and now I live on the Elwa Reservation,

892
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:37.159
and a lot of them are friends. So I've been

893
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:40.440
pretty fortunate in that aspect. But we also have just

894
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:46.880
the regular everyday Joe's too lined up, and we're starting

895
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:49.679
to reach out and put kind of expand our footprint

896
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:51.800
a little bit, like you said, and put up signs

897
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.639
in general stores and stuff around the peninsula, because.

898
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:55.800
I would like to hear more.

899
00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:02.880
Of not just the the I guess the Port Angela's

900
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:04.159
area or the Quintanault area.

901
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:06.519
I would like to hear the whole area.

902
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:14.280
Oh absolutely, I mean, man, I have I've heard some

903
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:17.039
wild stuff on my show from this area. I mean,

904
00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:20.000
there's a dude who was mushroom hunting out up in

905
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:25.800
the mountains and his his truck got flipped over while

906
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:28.119
he was inside it and he just left the truck.

907
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:30.760
The next morning, He's like, the truck is gone, it's yours.

908
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.360
You know. It's just like so you do get some

909
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:37.519
wild ones, but like I think, it's just I love

910
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:42.079
being able to document an area that is active. And

911
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.360
I do this with like Oakridge, Oregon, and I've talked

912
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:51.280
on over fifty people from this area, and I mean

913
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.639
it's it's all different walks of lice and you have

914
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.440
a really cool opportunity and it sounds like it's what

915
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.000
you want to do, and it's what the episodes will

916
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:03.280
be coming out. You'll you'll be able to get these

917
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:08.280
these documented interviews, which is so so important in our

918
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:14.079
field that stories are documented as they can help listeners.

919
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:18.119
But man, what what a cool cool thing. I mean,

920
00:52:18.159 --> 00:52:21.920
I was listening to part two today of James's interview.

921
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.480
It is fascinating. It's it's so fascinating. It looks like

922
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:29.079
it's been doing really well on your channels as well too.

923
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:34.239
Yeah, I was really surprised at how well his you know,

924
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:38.079
we we lost the video feed on his and so

925
00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:41.480
I just decided his story, the story is too good

926
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:47.079
to just throw away or and trying to tell them that, oh, hey,

927
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.920
you know, I screwed up, we need to reschedule. So instead,

928
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.079
what we did was we decided to do it as

929
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:58.800
a series of visuals kind of if you will, and

930
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:00.519
it's just done way better.

931
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:02.400
Even the audio on my end.

932
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:05.639
His audio turned out pretty good, but on my end,

933
00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:09.280
for whatever reason, it's kind of staticky and echoed for

934
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.239
whatever reason that day, I guess there's a deer right there,

935
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:16.320
a couple.

936
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:18.440
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.

937
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:21.880
But yeah, so it was.

938
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:28.880
Just very uh yeah, anyways, we did it as a

939
00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:32.440
set of visuals, we kept the audio, and it's really

940
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:34.280
turned out really well. I think it's almost up to

941
00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:42.000
five thousand views now, and yeah.

942
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:42.800
It's very cool when you get stories like that. You're

943
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:46.920
not going to hear those stories in any book, or

944
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.800
you're not going to read them in any book, You're

945
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:51.199
not going to hear them on any other channel. You

946
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:56.280
have the opportunity to be in this specific area and

947
00:53:56.440 --> 00:54:00.000
to hear these stories that are not documented any other way.

948
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:04.039
And so it's i'd say, you know, definitely it's important

949
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:07.199
people are subscribed to your channel to be able to

950
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:11.079
get these hear these stories that they're not going to

951
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:12.719
hear anywhere else.

952
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:17.679
But that's the Yeah, that's the other thing.

953
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:19.280
A lot of these people we ask them, you know,

954
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.960
have you ever thought about documenting your story officially?

955
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:22.840
Uh?

956
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:25.280
And then they say, well did you? And I'm like, oh,

957
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:29.440
good point. I guess I did, you know, by going

958
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:31.400
on other people's shows, But I never went to a

959
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:34.079
bfr O thing, And you know, I never went to

960
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:38.400
a specific Olympic project and logged in in the books

961
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:41.840
and I and I should probably do that, actually, thinking

962
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:47.199
about filing an affidavit on our situation. Cool going ahead

963
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:50.840
and just doing that, and that way the story could

964
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:55.880
never be changed and it'll always be there. So I

965
00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:57.599
think that would be a pretty cool thing to do.

966
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:01.119
Somebody just mentioned that the way to do that, and

967
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:02.559
I was like, you know, I never thought of that,

968
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:04.639
but I think that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna

969
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:05.840
go follow affidavit on it.

970
00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:11.320
Well, Matt, I appreciate you spending some time with me

971
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:15.559
this afternoon, and you have a fascinating story, and I

972
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:20.039
think it's just beginning with what you're doing talking to

973
00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:23.280
people out there and with the channel and the conversations

974
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:27.440
you're having. I want to make sure, you know, is

975
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:32.039
there anything that you want to make sure listeners you know,

976
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:36.039
check out or or make sure they follow you, or

977
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:40.119
maybe there's people from the Olympic Peninsula that want to

978
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:43.440
reach out to you specifically and what would be a

979
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:44.599
way maybe they could do that.

980
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:50.800
Yeah, absolutely, you know, Olympic Sasquatches at gmail dot com

981
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:54.480

so there's multiple avenues to reach out to us. If

986
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:12.760
you have had an experience, you know here, even if

987
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:14.800
you don't live here, but you had an experience while

988
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.400
you were here vacationing. Because we run into that quite

989
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:23.000
a bit too, we would love to hear it. And yeah,

990
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:26.440
you know, as far as the other stuff that's like

991
00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:29.679
self promotion, I kind of kind of, like my buddy says,

992
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:31.760
I'm not too good at that. But if you're going

993
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.000
to be in the Packwood area, we will be at

994
00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:38.119

That's awesome. Yeah, that's gonna be that's gonna be a

00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:50.960
good event. I've heard a lot about that, so definitely

1000
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:54.119
if you're in pack would check out Matt and his

1001
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:58.159
other team that will be there. But thank you so

1002
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:01.480
much for coming on the show today, Matt. I appreciate it.

1003
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:04.320
Yeah, thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.

1004
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.519
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1005
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.800
around Oakridge, Oregon, and you think to yourself, Man, I

1006
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:13.679
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1007
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:18.239
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

1008
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:21.880
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

1009
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:26.840
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

1010
00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:30.519
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

1011
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:34.679
even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll

1012
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.400
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

1013
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:42.920
probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't

1014
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:49.199
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

1015
00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:51.280
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

1016
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:54.119
more about looking for bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

1017
00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:59.320
check this out. You may know Jason Kenzie from his

1018
00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:04.320
documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can

1019
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:07.480
not only go to the festival, but you can also

1020
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:15.039
sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

1021
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:19.840
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot spots

1022
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:23.760
to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign

1023
00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:27.440
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

1024
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.719
for the next chapter in his documentary series, which is

1025
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:33.840
Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in a lifetime deal.

1026
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:37.079
It's just it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

1027
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:42.159

1033
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:09.519
the costs there. Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope to see

1034
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:13.800
you at the booth in Oakridge this year we can

1035
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:16.119
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

1036
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:19.800
many people last year and the year before. It is

1037
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.760
an incredible time, you're not going to want to miss it,

1038
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:27.519
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

1039
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:30.159
I want to say something directly to a very specific

1040
00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:33.679
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

1041
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:36.679
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

1042
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:39.920
can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or

1043
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:43.400
forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if

1044
00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:47.039
you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

1045
00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:50.199
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

1046
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:53.760
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

1047
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:56.840
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

1048
00:59:56.880 --> 01:00:00.480
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

1049
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:03.639
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

1050
01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:07.480
on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government

1051
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:11.159
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

1052
01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:14.840
a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

1053
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:18.400
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

1054
01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:22.159
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

1055
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.480
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

1056
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:29.280
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

1057
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:32.880
NSA or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the

1058
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:37.519
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

1059
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:42.639
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

1060
01:00:42.679 --> 01:00:45.760
at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear what

1061
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:50.280
you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.

1062
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:55.599
You've got the story, We've got the mic. See you

1063
01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:58.159
in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode

1065
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:03.960
that the world is bigger and stranger than we think,

1066
01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:06.960
and that the truth is often hiding just beyond the

1067
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:10.199
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
