Season 1

In this episode, we journey across continents and into some of the most remote corners of Bigfoot territory, beginning in Queensland, Australia, where a member of the Kabi people shares a deeply personal experience tied to a sacred site along the Mary River. Camping beneath the stars near the mysterious “Gimpy Pyramid,” he recounts a night that left him shaken and forever changed, offering rare insight into Indigenous traditions surrounding the Hairy Man.


We then travel to the Appalachian foothills of Eastern Kentucky, where a seasoned hunter describes a sound he heard before sunrise—something so unnatural it kept him frozen in his tree stand for hours. From there, the trail leads into rural Georgia near Thomaston, where a massive figure is seen crossing a narrow road near an old pig processing facility, an encounter later echoed by unsettling reports from the surrounding hills.


The episode closes in the lowcountry of South Carolina, near the floodplains of the Cooper River and the edges of Francis Marion National Forest, where a long-haul truck driver comes face to face with something towering and unmistakably not human.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big Flat Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.239
So stay with us.

11
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.280
Darling in from Australia. How are you.

12
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.799
Oh hey, good to talk to you. Got some wild

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:38.520
stuff over there.

14
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.399
My brother. I just want to let you know if

15
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.679
I'm vague at times. Please don't think I'm being vague.

16
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.280
I'm happy to talk to you privately, but this is

17
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.600
I'd like to just give you some of my experiences,

18
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.240
which is from an Aboriginal point of view, and some

19
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.079
of the blas we have. If that's okay with you.

20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.359
Brother, I would love that. Yeah, go right ahead.

21
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.799
Just a quick bit of background. My name's gilbery Fay.

22
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.200
We are from We are the Kabi people of the

23
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:10.079
Mary River, which is in Queensland, Australia. We were four

24
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.680
years ago, five years ago.

25
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.319
Now, we were.

26
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.640
Trying to protect a sacred side of ours. It's known

27
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.239
on the internet as the Gimpi Pyramid, but we call

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.239
it Jackie Kundu. Now, I've known about this place for

29
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.120
a long time. I'm pretty sure you'd known my brother,

30
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.959
the great man Graham Hancock.

31
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:31.879
That's your brother.

32
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.560
Oh no, not my brother, but he came and visited

33
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:35.120
our site.

34
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.040
Oh okay, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know

35
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:38.719
of grown.

36
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.200
Yeah, he came and visited us in twenty twenty and

37
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.560
he was just amazed at what he saw. And I

38
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.680
got to spend three days with Graham, which was fantastic.

39
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.040
That's a side note, brother. So we now fast forward

40
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.319
to twenty twenty one. It's the first time I'm actually

41
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.239
camping because we said up a camp there to protect

42
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.519
our site, and I'm camping for the first night there. Brother.

43
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.280
It's about Actually it was the third night I was

44
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.319
at camp. I had gone to bed, gone to my

45
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.840
ten early. It was prox about about eleven PM, and

46
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.520
I was drifting drifting into sleep, and then I had

47
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.479
this is the feeling. How I'll explain it. Something grabbed

48
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.759
me violently by the throat. It was choking me, and

49
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.240
I'm being lifted up. I'm being lifted up. I'm terrified.

50
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:35.080
And then he stops and slowly gently puts me down

51
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.840
like a baby. I sat up, woke up, screamed out,

52
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.000
helped me, helped me, and then thought, oh, everyone in

53
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.120
the camp's going to think you've lost your mind. Brother,

54
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.400
just I just want to say that that was an

55
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.080
entity one of out protecting this site, and when he

56
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.319
grabbed me, he was basically picking me up to say,

57
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:03.599
who are you then wrecking me? Recognize my bloodline, my ancestor,

58
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.400
and put me down. But that same night, two other

59
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.759
women who were visiting the camp had a pressing down

60
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.919
on their chest experience, and they got up and they left.

61
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.759
One of them left at three in the morning. So

62
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.840
I think you understand, Is it okay if I don't

63
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.599
go to I had those all right to share, brother,

64
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.360
I just don't want to give too much out or

65
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:26.560
sound too mental either.

66
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.919
Well, so I would say you're in the right place

67
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.400
to share whatever you would want to share, and don't

68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.000
feel like it's over here some people I feel crazy

69
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.039
saying this. This is an area where you can be

70
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.840
safe saying whatever you would need to, So that's not

71
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.039
an issue, but it's whatever you feel comfortable as well.

72
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:49.840
Doing is mainly the mean thing.

73
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.840
I appreciate that, brother, because I have been watching you,

74
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.560
but I haven't haven't spent enough time with your podcast.

75
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.759
So I plan to do that, brother, And I really

76
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.120
thank you for letting me come up and say that.

77
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:04.639
I really do.

78
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.080
Man.

79
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.360
It's a wild story and it sounds similar to some

80
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.680
things we experience over here as well. You know, sometimes

81
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.800
people are out in their tents and they will feel

82
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.040
like they've been poked through the side of the tent

83
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.639
or a hand palms their head, and so do you

84
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.680
think this may have been related to Yowie's in the

85
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.879
area or something more of a spirit type thing.

86
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.000
Well, let me just say this. We have a name

87
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.079
in our language for him, which I probably won't use today,

88
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.439
but the nickname for him it is hairy Man. Now,

89
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.959
the hairy Man can be very tall, but he can

90
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
also be very short. He can vary from his story,

91
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.399
varies from different mobs. We've got a lot of different

92
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.519
mobs here, brother. We got think of it like Europe

93
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.319
with many different countries. We had over five hundred wage

94
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.040
groups before the boats arrived back in seventeen eighty eight.

95
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.639
I'm sorry, I forgot what the question was, brother. Three

96
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:09.759
in the morning. I'm a little bit.

97
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.240
I was going to say, it's got to be it's

98
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.560
got to be early for you. So do you think

99
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.160
in your in your opinion, do you think it was?

100
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.560
And I want to be careful what terminology I used

101
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.360
to but I think yaoi's okay to say, do you

102
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:27.800
think it could have been related to that?

103
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.639
Yeah, I mean that will look that that's what is

104
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.920
commonly out there on the internet. But I knew we

105
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.360
know exactly what he was, why he was there. He

106
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.199
was there to protect that particular area of sacred site. Brother.

107
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.319
It's it is on the internet, the Gimpi Pyramid, And

108
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.360
that's why I thought i'd mentioned when Graham visited it,

109
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.439
he was absolutely blown away. It hasn't made it into

110
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.120
Ancient Apocalypse yet, but hopefully by season three.

111
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.879
But oh right, yeah, exactly.

112
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.839
I forgot to tell you the government ended up destroying

113
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.360
that sacred site. So that's a bit of a sad

114
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.519
said end of that story.

115
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:14.959
But yeah, my brother, Wow, what I appreciate you coming

116
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.199
up and still sharing your story with us, and I

117
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.240
hope that the rest of the area might have a

118
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.480
better ending than the pyramid did.

119
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.399
Yes, brother, we're always fighting, and if ever you want

120
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.879
to have a yarn privately, I'd love to tell you

121
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.199
some of the things that I haven't said publicly, just

122
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.319
to you know, if it's of interest to you. I

123
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.560
know you're a busy, busy fellow. You're doing very well, brother,

124
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.040
very popular, which is great. I think you're doing a

125
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.839
great job. Man.

126
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.920
Thank you. I appreciate that you can always send me

127
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.120
an email at big for Society at gmail dot com,

128
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.560
and I feel free to share anything you would like

129
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.120
too off record there. That's fine, all.

130
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.839
Right, brother, I'll maybe talk to you one day soon.

131
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.360
Thanks man, All right, thank you, sir. You have a

132
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:09.519
good one. Man. I always love when our Australian friends

133
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.399
get on, even though it's three am over there, they

134
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:20.959
always have fantastic stories to share. Brother. Good how are

135
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.399
you Brasen Man? I'm doing great, all right, Bryson. Well,

136
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.079
feel free to share it. Why you came up?

137
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.959
So the reason why I was kind of hesitant is

138
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.439
because I'm not exactly sure what it was. I'm a

139
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.040
big hunter. I know a lot of these stories kind

140
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:44.279
of start from that. But I think about two Novembers ago,

141
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:50.759
I was out in kind of the Appalachian part of Kentucky,

142
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.000
which I don't know if there's a lot of sightings

143
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:53.680
out here or not.

144
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:54.639
I haven't heard of it.

145
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:01.720
Yeah, oh yeah, but I was going after white tail deer.

146
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.040
It was gone seasoned, of course. Well, it was about

147
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.920
five six in the morning, the sun was kind of

148
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.319
starting to crest. But and I was up in a

149
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.120
up in a deer stand, and I had a couple

150
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.519
of cameras around the area that was showing movement a

151
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:24.519
couple of days prior.

152
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.240
And it was deer its bridge. Why was out there.

153
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.560
But I had a pretty powerful.

154
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:37.879
Scope on my rifle, and I just waited for i'd

155
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.519
say two three hours, didn't hear a thing. But then

156
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:51.279
I heard probably like I'm getting chills. I've never heard

157
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.720
what I heard before my entire life, not on YouTube,

158
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.840
not not in person. Whatever it was, it was not

159
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.320
an animal that I'd ever heard before. Its sound did

160
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:08.240
like a deep, scratchy scream almost not It wasn't It

161
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.080
wasn't any kind of mating call of anything that I've

162
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.440
ever heard, And I ain't gonna lie scared, scared of

163
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.840
Jesus out of me like I was, think, I didn't

164
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.279
want to get down, so it gets scared me so bad.

165
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:29.240
I sat in that tree stand for think eleven more

166
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.720
hours until, like I was, I was able to get down.

167
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:38.120
And when I finally got down, like I just, I

168
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.919
felt like I was being watched. Like I said, I

169
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.159
don't know if this counts as a Bigfoot story, but

170
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.679
man that I told that story of man, times of people,

171
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.279
and I will never be able to explain it.

172
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.799
Yeah, I think it counts. I mean, you know what

173
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.480
things sound like out there in the woods.

174
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.039
I mean yeah, I mean I've been since I was

175
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.120
a kid of my of course my grandpama parents, and

176
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.960
I know what they don't like, and it's nothing like

177
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.080
I've ever heard.

178
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.000
So is and you don't have to get super specific,

179
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.200
because I understand hunting can be a thing where you

180
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.279
don't want to give stuff away. But would so Appalaysia Kentucky?

181
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.720
Would this be eastern Kentucky?

182
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.200
Yeah, yeah, so it's it's more eastern. I think the

183
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.879
Appalachian Mountains run from eastern Tennessee through a little bit

184
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:31.240
easter Kentucky and going northward. I say the Appalachian Mountains

185
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.080
because I was in it, but I wasn't like deep, okay,

186
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.480
but I was definitely in them.

187
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.279
So a few things for you so you can kind

188
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.279
of take a look and see if the area you

189
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.679
were in is an active area. So I have if

190
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.240
you have a Bigfoot Society podcast dot com, there's a

191
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.840
sighting map and you can see marks for where I've

192
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.639
talked to people from like Daniel Boone National Forest or

193
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.000
Hazard County or all over. And then if you really

194
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.840
want to get specific about Kentucky bigfoot, there's this guy

195
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:12.080
named Charlie Raymond who has a research organization and he's

196
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.879
just got so much info about bigfoot sightings in the

197
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.200
state of Kentucky. So I'd recommend checking that out. Is

198
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.679
it's KBRRO is the name of his organization, but that

199
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.159
will that'll be a lot of really good info for

200
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.440
you if you're wanting to dig deeper into this, well,

201
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.399
I really appreciate that.

202
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.480
And a minute, and I do have a question, because

203
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:36.320
you seem very very knowledgeable on the topic, if if

204
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.159
this thing is real, if there's something out there of

205
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.120
the variation of a bigfoot?

206
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.440
Why is it so hard to capture? Why?

207
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.159
It means it's got to be smart. It means it's

208
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.960
got to be something that unlike that we know exists.

209
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.840
How with all of our technology, how is it so

210
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.639
hard to prove?

211
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.200
So, yeah, it's a great question, and it's a lot.

212
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.399
It's one of those where it's like it's hard to

213
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.240
explain until we actually get to study it. But for example,

214
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.519
like it's the question why why is it where someone

215
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:12.480
hears it and then someone gets to start a recorder

216
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.039
up and then it stops making the noise, or why

217
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.200
is it where you've got game cameras out and you

218
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.039
never get them on the game camera. Some people think

219
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:28.120
they have a way of knowing when electricity is present

220
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:36.240
or when IR is present in game cams. Even so

221
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.559
that a lot of people that are in really active

222
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:44.480
bigfoot spots will report that their battery power devices will

223
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.679
go dead extremely quick. You know, they go from one

224
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.679
hundred percent down to zero. And that's happened to me

225
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.039
out in Oregon. I know people that have had their

226
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.440
car batteries go dead over and over in these areas

227
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.879
where there's tons of sightings that occur. So there it's

228
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.639
one of the fields where there's more questions than there

229
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.399
are answers at this time. But you know, I think

230
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.480
you're exactly right. It's like a good question to asked

231
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.480
is why is it so hard to capture them? Because

232
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:16.759
they are so so smart. I mean, the more you

233
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.840
look into it, the weirder it will get. And just

234
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:21.720
be prepared for that.

235
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.000
Alrighty, And would you say your podcast name was, I'm

236
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:24.720
not check it out.

237
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.879
Yeah, it's called Bigfoot Society. It's you can find it

238
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.679
on YouTube or wherever you listen to audio podcasts. Okay, already,

239
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.720
I really approciate it. Thank you, all right, Thanks Brian,

240
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:43.759
Thanks Bryson. Good stuff, good stuff. Bryson sounds like a

241
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.879
cool dude. Hi, how are you fine about you?

242
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.720
Say?

243
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:50.799
Hey?

244
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.200
Great? Great, Well, my real name is Joey.

245
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.440
Of course, my rest my name or all day here

246
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.159
with big Steel And but I've seen your stuff up

247
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.039
here before and I just thought maybe I jumped on

248
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.799
real quick, and I wanted to tell you about an

249
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.720
experience I had when I was seventeen years old with

250
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:10.279
me and.

251
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.000
My sister.

252
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:18.000
And we were I live in Thomaston, Georgia, that's about

253
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:24.480
sixty miles south of Atlanta, and we were heading to

254
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.960
a friend's house. And as we turn on this road

255
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.120
to the right, there is one of these little runoff

256
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.000
fridges that was basically just made out of wood that

257
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.720
hasn't been redone in years.

258
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.039
I guess you know what I'm talking about, the little creek.

259
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:47.000
And while we were there, my sister threw a fence

260
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.360
and said, I don't want to go up.

261
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.399
With this bridge, and I was like, okay, well whatever.

262
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.039
So I was beginning to back up, and that old

263
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.200
forward truck I had had a problem to stick it

264
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:02.919
sometimes and that sixty eight forard I had, So basically

265
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.320
what happened after that as me and her I thought

266
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:12.960
it reverse, she turned arounund and said, look one of

267
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.759
this little bridge is there's a bunch of brush to

268
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.519
the left.

269
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:23.200
Well, something had come across that road that was so big.

270
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.679
It's hard to explain how large this whatever than was

271
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.519
And it took about two and a half steps and

272
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.840
it was already across the road.

273
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.000
And as I look at my sister, my sister turns

274
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.759
around looked.

275
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.879
At me, and I was like, this is this is creepy,

276
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:43.919
you know, I said, did you see that?

277
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.480
She said, yeah, what was it?

278
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.480
And I said, I don't know, but it looked like

279
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.360
something like a bigfoot type thing.

280
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.480
I don't know what it was.

281
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.399
Well, on the right hand side going up the hill

282
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.279
is a pig slaughtering factory up there where they go

283
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.600
ahead and slaughter the pigs and do the bacon and

284
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.000
all that stuff. And tell them it was called it

285
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:14.320
called George. It's called George Pig Factory. So are you

286
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.000
able to hear me?

287
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.720
It's uh, it's getting a little rough. I don't know

288
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.000
what's going on in the background.

289
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.120
Now, Yeah, I don't know either.

290
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.080
But anyway, I realized that the pig factory was up

291
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.320
there on the right and so we went home, as

292
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:34.399
told my five and my father had done told me

293
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.399
that several times in the last ten years there has

294
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.360
been several sightings of something like that, and I was like,

295
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.639
oh really, And I was like, that's the first time.

296
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.600
I had ever heard about it.

297
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.279
But a friend of mine had told me that up

298
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.000
there at that pig slaughter in factory that they would

299
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.120
see something every once in a while in the back

300
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.759
part of the woods. And that was in the backside

301
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.679
of where the pigswater in factory was at.

302
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:04.400
Now.

303
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.839
I haven't seen anything since then, thank god. But you know,

304
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.519
it's a.

305
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.319
It's it's a little erie when you.

306
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.519
See something like that come across the street.

307
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.359
But we've seen it with We've seen it with our eyes,

308
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.680
and like I said, we were scared to death. We

309
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:28.400
went back home and told our dash.

310
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.640
That is extremely wild. That area is extremely active.

311
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.920
I do appreciate taking the time to talk to me.

312
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.599
Yeah, absolutely, real quick. So that area is quick. If

313
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.640
you look up Angie Williamson, she is researching that area

314
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.240
and she knows a lot about that area of Georgia.

315
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.440
So I look into that.

316
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.759
Right and at Middle Georgia now, yeah, where I'm at

317
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:58.759
and Thomas Now right.

318
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.559
Up above that is called Hagen Mountain.

319
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.720
Now, Hagen's Mountain has this big poodah about the Indian

320
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.799
uh Indian people up at this period. Now we are

321
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.200
famous about having what we call a voodoo doctor.

322
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.039
I guess you want to say. Back in the late

323
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.519
eighteen hundreds, they said.

324
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.079
There's a lot of sightings and a lot of weird

325
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.960
stuff up over on Hagen's Mountain. And it's been said

326
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:28.559
several times they've seen a bigfoot there several times.

327
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.960
I have to look into that.

328
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:39.839
Thank you for that, Yes, sir, no problem, all right,

329
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:40.599
good to see you.

330
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.839
Good stuff, good stuff talking with big Steel. I love it.

331
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.119
Hey, how are you doing, sir? Yeah, I talked to

332
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.920
you yesterday. Yeah, I talked you about the Fulton Monster

333
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.799
and all that. But I, yes, definitely want to check

334
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:04.079
out your podcast. I've already shared my story.

335
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:05.240
I guess I had a couple of.

336
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.599
Questions because you intrigued me with some of the things

337
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.319
that you have a lot of knowledge apparently about this.

338
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.680
There's two things I wanted to ask you very quickly.

339
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.240
I don't want to take up a lot of time.

340
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:22.680
Number One, apparently there's not a lot of stories about

341
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:35.759
bigfoot harming human beings, correct.

342
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.440
There are, So the closest that usually gets to is

343
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.240
when they try to get inside the house, right and

344
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.240
they start breaking windows and stuff. So like a famous

345
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:49.160
one you can look up is Honabi, Oklahoma, in around

346
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:54.160
like two thousand and one, and where pretty much they

347
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.279
were storing deer in refrigerators on their porch of the cabin.

348
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.279
The big folk come and get in the deer meat,

349
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.599
and then they started to get inside the house or

350
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.839
trying to, and so the men of the house, used

351
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.079
their instruments and ended up taking one out and then

352
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:17.359
the other bigfoot actually took it into the woods and

353
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.240
then across the street and a truck, a trailer or

354
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.279
a truck driver who was going by saw them across

355
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:28.240
the road carrying the one who was you know, and

356
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.319
then yeah, so that's that's the one that comes to mind.

357
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.599
But you don't hear a lot of stories about people

358
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.359
getting really really hurt because I think if that happens,

359
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.400
you're not going to hear those stories. Okay, that's interesting.

360
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.720
So you're saying that one of them was taken out

361
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.400
and then the other took it off, so there was

362
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:53.279
no evidence of like I mean, obviously there wasn't any remains.

363
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:58.799
There there was, uh, and some investigators went down there.

364
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:02.480
I believe they found some blood Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah,

365
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.640
leaves around the area. Yeah yeah.

366
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.880
That brings up all kinds of questions right there, if

367
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.079
they've tested blood and a uh. The second thing I

368
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.920
wanted to ask you is because I'm very interested because

369
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:23.160
I like the way you carry yourself and actually deliver

370
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.880
this you know this live and the podcast. I want

371
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.400
to check out your podcast. But I was just curious

372
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:33.799
if you could share with me because I'm hearing all

373
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.920
these other people that have experiences. Do you do you

374
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.559
have a story that you could share with me?

375
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.680
Oh, like stuff I've gone through? Have you ever Yeah?

376
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.559
I counted, Yeah, Oh no, I absolutely have. I've so

377
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.599
about three years ago I started going out differently. Now

378
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.799
I would go to a place in Iowa. I'll say

379
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.400
where there's a lot of activity, and you know, I

380
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:05.880
have experienced I've been wooked at tree knocks, There's been

381
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:09.079
trees been pushed over, there's something that has walked around

382
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.039
my tent at three am. And then I've went to

383
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.000
Oregon a few times, and I mean we've been roared

384
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.039
and screamed at out in the woods like thirty miles.

385
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:28.240
I found handprint with an old researcher found footprints and

386
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:30.839
then Cliff Berrickman took a look at him. He's like, yeah,

387
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.880
it's legit. And that The weirdest thing that's happened yet

388
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:39.680
is I was out there this last July and out

389
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:43.480
with some guys from the area and I went out

390
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.599
in the woods a little bit and then I was like, Hey,

391
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.079
if there's anything out here, can you make a noise?

392
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:54.480
Right and a half second later, I heard three wood

393
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:58.000
knocks from about twenty feet deeper into the woods, and

394
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:00.359
I was like, oh my goodness, no way, And so

395
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.160
I tried it again and the same thing happened, dude,

396
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.359
and I was like, you know, I'm out here. I

397
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.200
was like, I got to get back to the group.

398
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.000
And every day since then, I'm like, what would have

399
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.200
happened if I had just gone twenty feet into the woods?

400
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.240
What what I've what I've found? You know? And it

401
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.839
was not a woodpecker, not a woodpecker at all? Is

402
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.839
that what it says? Like? No, no, But a lot

403
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.319
of people that are like, they're like, oh, that was

404
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.119
just a woodpecker. Now, if you've heard a woodpecker, you

405
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.880
know the difference between that and someone who is actually,

406
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.480
you know, hitting something on a tree or something of

407
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:39.359
that nature. It sounds completely different.

408
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.279
Path using wood to knock the tree or are they

409
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.680
knocking or what is a what does that sound like?

410
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:53.480
Yeah, So in the community, most people will think it's

411
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.880
a way of like communication back and forth. So half

412
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.319
the people think that they're actually taking a piece of

413
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.200
wood and they're hitting it against a tree. But logically

414
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.759
you have to think, is one always going to be

415
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.400
within reach of a tree and something to hit on

416
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.279
the tree. So a lot of people think they actually

417
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:19.119
make that sound with their mouths. Some people can actually

418
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.920
replicate it by putting their hands together in front of

419
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.599
their open mouth, and that's just a human so or

420
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.799
doing it like a yeah. Sometimes people think that's it.

421
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.960
So it's one of those things. There is a report

422
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.640
of a person that actually saw one making the tree

423
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:44.359
knock sound with their hands. I can't remember exactly where

424
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:47.240
that's from, but that's the whole thing about the tree knock.

425
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:53.279
That's very interesting, very so another common thing real quickly,

426
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.599
and then I'll go, I've noticed several people talk about

427
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.759
a scream and that's kind of what I heard on

428
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:02.680
the Boggy Creek back.

429
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.519
In the eighties, exactly exactly the.

430
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:11.039
Scream that you can't correlate with anything you've ever heard before.

431
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:13.119
And I grew up in the woods too, Like the

432
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:17.880
other gentleman who was talking about hunting, it was it

433
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.400
was something that was foreign to me.

434
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:24.319
What what have you heard?

435
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.559
And then I'll go, but what have you heard about

436
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.079
the scream? Like what what did it sound like?

437
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:38.160
Or how did they do? So this is this is

438
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.160
a fun one because it's something I actually heard myself

439
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.680
and the way it affected me. I find it hard

440
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.599
to describe because pretty much I started to shut down.

441
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.440
It freaked me out and felt the blood rush down

442
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.519
from my head to my feet. It was just it's

443
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.200
something I've never heard before. It was a real i'm

444
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.640
a response, and it freaked me out real bad. A

445
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.640
lot of people that can describe it will usually say

446
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.519
it sounded like multiple animals together at the same time,

447
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:19.279
something like a chimpanzee slash elephant trumpet slash lion type roar.

448
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:24.279
And if you there's some people where they've actually looked

449
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:28.039
into recordings that have been made and I think think

450
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:30.519
a thinker Thunker on YouTube is one of these guys

451
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.319
where it almost looks like there's multiple sounds being made

452
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.559
at the same time. And so then the question is, okay,

453
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.359
do they have special vocal cords that allows them to

454
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.799
do this? Because it is it's a very very strange thing.

455
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.640
So it's again, every time you ask a question, there's

456
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.319
like ten more questions that come up. Right, Yeah, it's

457
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:53.839
really really weird stuff. Well, thank thanks for having me on, brother,

458
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.519
absolutely all right, man, all right, thank you sir. You

459
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:04.519
have a good one. Take care. Hi, how are you.

460
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:06.160
How's it going, Bud?

461
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.799
My name is christ doing good.

462
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:09.440
Yeah.

463
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.000
I'm a long haul truck driver for about ten years

464
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.079
now and I just had a little incident I wanted

465
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.240
to share because to this.

466
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.240
Day I'm still a little bit I really don't know

467
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:21.079
how to explain it.

468
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:25.839
But this was back in February twenty twenty one, and

469
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.519
I drive flatbed trucks, so the one that pulls the

470
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:35.759
big steal coils and stuff like that, from Canada down

471
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:41.759
to east coast of the United States and Carolina, Virginia

472
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:46.519
sometimes Florida and stuff like that. So my story is

473
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:52.880
back in February twenty twenty one, I had a delivery

474
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.319
to do from up there in Canada, Ontario, Canada, going

475
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.720
down to a city called Hugert and South Carolina. And

476
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:09.119
so long story short, I got the delivery.

477
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:09.720
The due is.

478
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:11.559
On the way down there, I started getting close to

479
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.799
UH Hugart with a new court steel planing down there

480
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:17.440
at your Hugart, South Carolina.

481
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.160
And at the time I didn't have a truck or GPS.

482
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.799
So what had happened is uh I was using Google Maps,

483
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.839
and if you ever use Google Maps, before sometimes it'll

484
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:31.440
it'll try to save you two minutes or something and

485
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.599
take you off the you know, the easy route to

486
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.960
save two minutes or something like that. And so what

487
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:41.839
it happened was I wasn't paying attention to GPS too

488
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.640
much and I didn't realize it had it had rerouted

489
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.680
me off the main highway there down to some back

490
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:53.680
roads headed into Hugart, South Carolina, And so it took

491
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:57.480
me down these back roads nearby what is known as

492
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:04.599
the Francis Marion National Forest. And as I was going

493
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.400
down there, they got a river down there and nearby

494
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.279
the on the edge of the national forest there, it's

495
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.240
called the Cooper River, and so, uh that time of year,

496
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:16.599
it han't have been flooded up.

497
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.000
The revert flooded the.

498
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.720
Surrounding woodlands with water coming up to the edge of

499
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.519
the road.

500
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.640
And I was carrying about seventy thousand pounds.

501
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.079
So I had to watch the edge of this this

502
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:32.839
back road I was on, because if I would have

503
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:34.680
veered off a little bit to the side, I could

504
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:36.720
the trailer could have flipp because it's so vaned.

505
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.880
And so it just so happened after I passed.

506
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:45.000
Over the the Cooper river there got onto Doctor Evans Road.

507
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.799
There's a little stretch of woods there that was on

508
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.720
the passenger side that was all flooded out, like I said,

509
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:57.599
And I was trying to finesse it through there and

510
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.240
take it a little bit slow, just.

511
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.799
To make sure, like I said, I didn't er off

512
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.599
end of the shoulder.

513
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.599
And as I glanced out with my passenger window, I

514
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:09.680
seen this thing standing there. It had to have been

515
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:13.160
at least eight to ten feet tall, standing there, resting

516
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.079
it is its arm on a broken over tree, and

517
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:18.480
it's just standing in the water.

518
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.440
It's just standing in the water stares at me. I

519
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:23.880
locked eyes with it, and I.

520
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.279
Saw details of it like it had it had shaggy

521
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.880
hair kind of like hanging down like over like kind

522
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.039
of partially over its eyes and stuff. And then uh,

523
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:39.799
it had like the arms were were a little bit long,

524
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:43.759
longer than what you know, obviously a human has, and

525
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:47.359
it had scraggly kind of like you ever seen a

526
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.680
dog that had been out in the woods for a

527
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.279
long time or something like straggly matted.

528
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.279
Hair kind of like hanging down off off of its arm.

529
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:56.759
That was.

530
00:30:58.319 --> 00:30:59.000
You could notice.

531
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.279
It was very apparent, and uh, it.

532
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.839
Had a grayish grayish brown type of toned skin over

533
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.839
what you could see of its face, and its chest

534
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.319
was very defined, like a barrel barrel shaped chest, with

535
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:19.119
very muscular type of you could see it's it's pectoral muscles,

536
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:22.799
and this abdomen looked like it was extremely strong, and

537
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.559
uh so I seen it, and I actually looked there.

538
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.759
I was able to see his.

539
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.720
Eyes through the straggly hair hanging over his face to

540
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:34.759
an extent. And I drove past it, maybe about one

541
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.079
hundred feet, and I said, because I didn't know what

542
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:38.240
I was seeing at the time, I.

543
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:40.160
Didn't even realize what the hell it was.

544
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:41.599
And uh.

545
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.759
So, then after I got about one hundred feet down

546
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.200
the road, I said, wait a second, you know what,

547
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:50.000
I think that's one of those uh I think that's

548
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.880
one of those sasquatched things they taught everybody say they're real,

549
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:57.799
you know. And uh so, then I stopped the truck.

550
00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:59.119
I said, you know what, let me go ahead and

551
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.200
try to take a full with this thing. And uh

552
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:04.759
then I realized, I'm like, oh man, if you stop,

553
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.880
if the truck gets stuck in that shoulder, you're gonna

554
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:10.880
have a problem, because you're be right next to it,

555
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:13.880
and then uh, I.

556
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.200
Mulled over it for a second.

557
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.160
I said, shut up back and then I got a

558
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:23.200
real strong gut feeling, uh, not to go back. Don't

559
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.079
try to reverse it, because if you ever had one

560
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:30.920
of those real strong type of gut feelings where like, uh,

561
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:32.839
I don't know, it's like an instinct, you know, a

562
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:34.079
real strong gut instinct.

563
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.400
So we don't go back. Just keep going and if

564
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.119
whoever believes you, they believe you. If they don't, then

565
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:39.599
they don't.

566
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.400
And uh, I got down there to the new course

567
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.279
deal plan and I talked to some of the employees.

568
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:48.599
I said, you guys, ever seen anything like this running

569
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:52.680
around in the you know, near the Francis Marion and stuff.

570
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.559
And they didn't.

571
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.440
They didn't hear anything about it, but I researched it myself.

572
00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.720
Later on, I heard there was a few reports in areas.

573
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.559
So that's the gist of my story, but I just

574
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:03.279
wanted to share it.

575
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:07.960
Did you send somebody else out of site into an

576
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:08.799
area or whatnot?

577
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.960
My goodness, that is wild. Thank you so much for

578
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:17.039

579
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:18.559

580
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:19.759
Take care of Bud.

581
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.680
All right, guys, I am needing to jet out. I

582
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.680
have to go get ready for an interview for the podcast.

583
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.440

585
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.960
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

586
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.240
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, man, I

587
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.119
would love to get out in those woods and experience

588
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.680
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can

booth in Oakridge this year. We can talk about your encounter.

616
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:48.960
Was able to talk to so many people last year

617
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.199
and the year before. It is an incredible time. You're

618
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:55.000
not going to want to miss it, and I'll see

619
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.320
you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to

620
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.599
say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

621
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.559
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and

622
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.559
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

623
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:12.679
if you're a National Park ranger or forestry worker who's

624
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.559
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

625
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.119
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

626
00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:22.719
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

627
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.920
and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

628
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:29.119
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

629
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:33.079
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

630
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.960
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil

631
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.239
field or a trucker with government contracts and you've had

632
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:43.920
something happen that you've never told a soul. And if

633
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:47.599
you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher

634
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.360
under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

635
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.400
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

636
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.920
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

637
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.719
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or

638
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:05.119
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

639
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.920
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

640
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:15.199
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

641
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:18.119
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

642
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:23.920
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

643
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.280

647
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.760
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
