From Believer to Knower: Rebecca's Bigfoot Experiences in California & Oregon!

0:00 You're listening to Bigla Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Before we get going, just a quick word to parents that are listening to this with younger children. This is an episode where there is a conversation about some relatively intense biological things that being said, it might be one that you want to skip if you're not ready to have a pretty intense discussion on how things work with your children. Heads up, enjoy guys the Society get the privilege of talking to Rebecca today.

1:03 Rebecca is a Reiki master, energy healer, mother, grandmother and a very open minded seeker of truths. And I was able to meet Rebecca and her husband actually at Sasquatch Summerfest in Oakridge, Oregon, just this July, So just a few months ago, even though it feels like more than a year ago really to be honest. But it was great chatting to both both you and your husband at the festival, and I was like, Man, I really need to have Rebecca on the show. I can tell that her story is just so interesting and I'd love it to be documented. So glad we were able to finally set this up, Rebecca and to get you on the show. And Yeah, how are you doing today?

1:44 I'm doing great. I've got a lot going on today. So I'm just trying to slow down here because I've been so excited about this conversation and a little anxious and nervous. But it's a subject that, unless you are open to it, not really talked about a lot out there. And because of who I am and the beautiful community that I belong to, I can have those conversations in small groups. So I'm excited to share it in a bigger group in a wider way because of you, and was really excited to meet you at the Sasquatch Summer Fest. That was a fun, fun experience for both my husband and I and the minute I saw you, someone pointed to you out so there he is. I was like, oh my gosh, I gotta go talk to him. So yeah, I'm excited to be doing this too. Yeah.

2:32 Absolutely, it's this is just the side, but it's still at the point where I don't have a lot of my face out there, so a lot of people are like, oh, it's that guy. Okay, cool, which is nice because I can be undercover sometimes a little bit at places, but that'll probably change eventually. But it is a weird kind of place to live in. But Rebecca, I'd love to hear your story, and I know the listeners would love to hear it as well. Feel free to any and fro you need to give us first, or if you want to just launch right into it, feel free to do this. Okay, perfect till I have some notes written down here, because it's some things have happened more recently. But I'll just take you back to when I went from being a believer to a knower in the sense that I was seventeen when I had a dear friend of the family tell me his sasquatch story and his experience happened in California in the woods. He was a young boy out hunting with his dad. And this is someone that I find to be very credible. Definitely never knew him to try to pull my leg or anything. He's a fun guy. In fact, he's been called sasquatch because he's such a big guy and he has fun with it and we'll dress up and stuff. But at the time when he shared his story, that was the first experience at seventeen hearing somebody say, oh, sasquatches are real. I've seen when I had this experience, and not very many people when he was young believed. I'm being a young boy carrying that story forward. And I've never been one

4:05 that if somebody shares something with me to say, yeah, somebody says that something happened to them, who am I to say it didn't. And I find that odd in other people's personalities to say, yeah, that didn't happen, or that they're not real if somebody is saying that something happened to them. So it was twenty eleven and my family and I were driving through the Redwoods, and I am again very open minded. I am an energy kller reiki masters you'd mentioned and doing reiki that puts you in the space of energy, working with energy. So I was starting a practice during that time of just stating to the universe, I'm open to see the magic, showing the magic in the day, and I would start my mornings out like that. So here we are in the Redwoods.

4:55 We got up super early in the morning. I live in Vancouver, Washington, and so we started our drives probably at three in the morning, packed the kids up in the car, lots of snacks, all the fun, and we're heading to California to Disneyland and driving through the Redwoods to get there. So that's down one oh one, and I did right down the creek. I had to go and research and kind of look like where were we because it's been so long back now, but it was look really quick here. It was around the Ill Creek or Eel River next to right outside of Humboldt, I believe it was. And so anyway, there's we're driving along this creek and I'm awake. My son and youngest daughter who was four at the time, and my son were sleeping, but my oldest daughter, who was fourteen, was awake. She was just behind me on the passenger side, and so out to the right of the car. I we're driving along.

6:03 I look down and we see this very large black I couldn't see any detail other because we were higher up. This is lower below as on this river is this upright walking creature? Very large, long strides, long arms, And so of course, when you see something like that, you try to explain it away, and at the same time you can't. Your brain tries to rationalize what is it that I'm looking at? And so I didn't say anything. I was just looking at it as we drove by it. I'm tried straining to get a look and turning around in my seat, and I noticed that my daughter's doing the same thing. She's staring Simultaneously. I turned to my husband and say, did you see that? But at the same time, my daughter said what was that? She was so shocked at what she was looking at. I think probably she even got a better look at it. But he to this day will tell you. She's twenty eight now will tell you absolutely we saw sasquatch. But when I turned to my husband and asked him, did you see that? He said, sasquatch? That was the first thing out of his mouth, and he is a very down to earth, practical person, very skeptical at times, but he can become very open minded when he sees it for himself personality type. And he said sasquatch, and so we were all just very wow. And I said, yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say. What was that It looked definitely looked like you know what we've all been told sasquatches can look like. Now, going back to

7:36 the energy of that day and saying, I'm open to see the magic. You're in the Redwood. It's a magical place anyway, it's beautiful. But I will say that, and I said this before to others and they've completely understood what I'm saying. The energy felt electric. It was, and the rest of the day I felt different. It was just this energy, and I had a feeling that if we were to turn around and go back to try to see if it was there, it would not have been there. It was this overwhelming sense. And I've gotten these feelings before in the woods, we're allowing you to see us. When we are seen, we are allowing you to see us. And so I had this overwhelming sense that it would not be there if we turned around and my husband felt the same way, like it was we were being allowed to see it for that moment.

8:27 And I have felt that through the years now since i've seen this, that these people that are seeing them out there being allowed to see them. If they don't want to be seen, they won't be seen. But it's on purpose right now, because there's a lot of talk in the spiritual communities that timelines are shifting, energy is shifting as we shift from the three D to five D, and this is on purpose to help wake us up. And what better way to wake up your mind to start educating yourself about that we are so much more than to see a sauth squad. It is a really unreal experience. It's because we've been being told for so long that they're not real and they don't exist. To actually see one is spectacular and it does change you.

9:14 So yeah, that's when I became a knower. And during that time I really wasn't looking into sasquatch stuff. You read here and there as you're growing up, things or you hear things. And like I said, i'd heard my good friend tell me his experience, but that didn't make me dive into it. After seeing one. I would say, I became definitely more open to wanting to know more about them, and my mind became more open to things. And so therefore I think it was just more experiences, because it's like when you say you want to buy a car and then all of a sudden, that car is everywhere. It was that kind of thing. I just all of a sudden started hearing people opening up and talking, or I would come across something. It wasn't until I would say, towards the end of last year that I came across your podcast and game on. I absolutely love.

10:10 You're a game changer in this field as far as all the different experiences that people have called in, and you're so open minded to hear everything. It's been amazing to hear other people's experiences and to just validate what I have been feeling and actually what I feel I've been being told by self conscients. So here we go. Since then, I have had some dreams, very strong VI the dreams. I don't remember my dreams very well, so when I do, I pay attention because they're pretty potent. So I had a dream again, I'm in the Redwoods. We do that very often, and we took my mother in law and we stayed across from the Trees of Mystery.

10:56 And so for the listeners that haven't been to the Redwoods, there's this beautiful place called the Trees of Mystery. You can take a sky train up into the over the Redwoods. There's lots of beautiful carvings in the trees and it's just a fun place. And so we my mother in law's from Cape Cod and was visiting, and we took her on that drive. And I wouldn't say at this time that Sasquatch was on my mind. We were out there looking. It was that experience is always there for me when we go back to the Redwoods, but as it would be for anybody. But it wasn't like I'm we're going Sasquatch hunting. We were there to just show my mother in law good time, and this was an experience, like a bucket list experience for her. So we stayed across from the Trees of Mystery in a motel and that evening I had a dream that Sasquatch was standing outside of the window, and it was that kind of a dream where I'm in that room that we're staying in, I'm standing out the window looking at the woods behind me, and Sasquatch is standing and he's rocking back and forth behind a tree where and I mine spoke to him.

12:04 I didn't speak out loud. I told him I can see you. You don't have to hide. And he fully stepped out from behind the tree. And he said, you're only going to see me because I'm letting you see me. And I said, I get that, I know that, And he said, I said, so, do you mind speak to humans only or can you mind speak to other animals? And he said, we can mind speak to animals as well. And in the dream, I say he because it felt very much like a male sasquatch. And he said that this is won't be my last encounter with him, that I'm only just on the brink of not just me, but we as human the human race, are only just now discovering what these creatures are, these beings are. And I also felt the sense that sasquatch was what they They don't like being called sasquatch, but that over foot they prefer sasquatch, that it almost feels like a disrespect for them to call them bigfoot. So I made note of that and that was that in the dream. It was like I woke up. I was like, that was really cool that I remembered that dream, And I told me, has when I dreamt of sasquatch and there's all kinds of sasquatch stuff in the Redwoods at all the stops that you make, there are sweatshirts and carvings and all kinds of neat stuff. So then you write it off it's because we're looking at sasquatch stuff. But at the same time, the dream just felt very relevant. Tuck that

13:35 back into this pocket of stuff experiences that I'm having, and fast forward to present day or present day at the beginning of the year. I'm just going to share another dream that I had. After now listening to podcasts and stuff and hearing people's experiences and knowing now that others have had dreams that are really potent and explain a lot, I have another dream that is very real, very vivid. I remembered every detail of it, and I was in a this dreams a little bit more out there.

14:17 It was just very bizarre, but I was in like a medical room, very sterile medical room, and there was a sasquatch laying on the table and I was observing. It was like remote viewing, if you will, where I was not participating in what was going on there. I was observing that this creature was being examined, and as they were examining the creature, they were examining every area of the body of this creature. And I, in my mind spoke to this creature and said, so, are you male or female? And this creature said, we can be both.

14:59 And I thought, huh, oh, that's very interesting. And it said, yes, we can be male or female depending on the circumstance that we need to be for. So I thought, anyway, I just thought that was a very interesting thing. Again, it was a dream, but it was nonetheless it stuck with me. And those are the two dreams that I've had. And let's see, we're going back now. After the Redwood experience, in twenty eleven, our family took a trip to the Oregon Vortex. Again. This was before I started listening to podcasts or hearing other people's experiences to validate what I was feeling that we went to the Oregon Vortex. And again for the listeners if they haven't been there, the Oregon Vortex is very it's a touristy place. It's very cool.

15:49 I could not tell you right now. I should have written it down, and I apologize that you can look up Orgon Vortex and find out where it's at. That basically, you drive out into this area and you're in the woods and you're in this what they call a vortex, and they have set it up to where you pay to go in. And in this place it is completely silent. You do not hear birds, dogs will not come in people's companion dogs will They will back and pull away. We were told by the tour guide. And in this Organon vortex, the gravity defy it is. It's really cool and they have all different kinds of experience experiments to show you how gravity defies the laws. And you can stand in one side and be just as tall when you're standing up higher than the person. We love you.

16:39 So I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, Jeremiah, but it's a really cool experience to be there. And I was I remember being in the vortex and not hearing any just any sound, any birds, nothing. When they're talking about that and you just stop and listen, You're like, wow, it's true. We're in the middle of the woods and you do not hear us sound, you don't see bugs. It's just it's a very interesting experience. And then driving out of there about a mile down the road, all of a sudden you hear the birds. You hear it. So it's very surreal to be out in the middle of the woods and for no reason at all not have any sound out there other than that they say you're in a vortex. And so I so that really got me thinking about sasquats at the time, and it was it came on strong. It wasn't just like a, oh, this is a theory of my it know. It came on like this knowing and when it's hard to explain unless you've had that kind of experience. It was like, this is how they are coming in and out. They're coming through portals. And I had not heard this ever before, so to me it was like whoa, this is yeah, this is real. This is how they're coming and out.

17:52 They're coming through portals or vortexes. And I believe this theory to be true because I've really studied our bodies, the human body, the super physical emotional body, are how our body has chakras and vortexes within our body, and that is true about our environment. We have these wartexes all over the place, but this just happens to be one that was discovered and then made for people to come and experience it. But I believe that we have many out there that we don't know about, and these are vortexes that are they're able to come through because you start hearing people talk about that everything goes silent, birds are silent, everything is quiet, and so I put that together with that just listening to that, and I wrote a book actually I just released the end of last year called Magnetic Universe, and it speaks more on the subject of energy and our bodies and the energy in the world and how this is not just we woo, this is science facked facts that everything, our atoms are balls of light. So the theory on having now heard so many others talk about energy and sasquatches with energy, I can get behind that theory more knowing what I know and being who I am is a ranking master.

19:24 And the book is called Magnetic Universe. Y owe you Magnetic Universe. It's on Amazon if anybody's interested in and that I'm not trying to sell it, and just as anyone's interested in that. It's just a fun book about energy and frequency and how to protect yourself in your space and stuff working with energy. But after now listening to your podcasts and hearing others experiences, I had a memory job and it was my first experience in Cape Cod. Back in two thousand and two, I went to Cape Cod for the first time and we were driving. It was late at night, the dark there, because the sky is just filled with starts, absolutely beautiful. It's not a city, it's not polluted by light, so when you're driving on certain areas it gets really dark. And we were driving in my husband's neighborhood, the neighborhood he grew up in, which is set in the woods. My mother in law lived on beautiful piece of property in Cape Cod, and his red lights swooped across this area where it was like a long driveway leading down to somebody's house and their garbage cans. That's one thing I remember is that the garbage cans were out and I saw and literally

20:55 said out loud, I didn't know better. So mind you, this is two into this is way before I saw the sasquatch in the woods. That this memory did not come back to me until more recently, and I remember bringing it up to my husband, is do you remember back my first time in Cape Cod? I was twenty four that I said I saw that. If I didn't know better, I think I saw a sasquatch, and he goes, I do remember that, and I really, now, knowing what I know, I think I did see a sasquatch. Them that it was so dark and it would be just a shadow. It wasn't the shadow of a creature, but it was a very tall figure hunched over, moving really quickly as our headlights swooped across out into the woods away from the car, and it was so fast, and just making that comment and laughing about it twenty four, going, Okay, my eyes are playing tricks on me. That was a trip.

21:52 It looked like there was a sasquatch running away from the car. We since Nell, since I brought it up again, we've talked about that, and because there's been times going back to Cape Cod through the years where I've had some interesting experiences on his property and yeah, so going all over the place, and I apologized for that, but yeah, that was. So I say that my first experience was in twenty eleven seeing a sasquatch in the Redwoods, but I do believe that I my first time seeing one was in two thousand and two in Cape Cod. So bringing you back to present day, at the beginning of this year, in March, a group of my Reiki Sisters spiritual sisters went on a beach retreat. And I have now been going down the rabbit hole of podcasts, and I'm at this point, I'm obsessed with everything sasquatch. I'm learning everything i can. I'm listening to all of your podcasts.

22:54 I just think it's the coolest subject and I'm absolutely loving it. I listened to a Podcas passed every day on the way to work, and so at this point I'm a little bit more open minded to talk about it in my small spiritual community. And so I told the ladies when we got to the beach, this place we're in. We went to Long Beach, and behind us at the beach house that we're staying at, there's these beautiful woods covered in moss and trails and just absolutely gorgeous. And I said, this place feels squatchy, which opened up the conversation and another girl that came to the retreat absolutely believes and was like, it totally does, and so that was it was just fun and it opened up for me to share my experience with them. And at the time going into this retreat it was a two night stay, I had a bad knee. My knee had I had a first SIDIS on my right knee cap and it would flare up occasionally, and so during going into this it was a flared kneecap. I was in a lot of pain, trying to take my mind off it and going to bed that evening that first night, Friday night, my longtime girlfriend best friend first since we were fourteen, her and I shared a room upstairs, and we picked this room because it was away from everybody had its own bathroom and we're sharing the room and

24:26 the house next door to us had a strobe light, or not a strobe light, but a sensory light that would come on if it had any like a motion detector light, and it would light the room up. And the curtains in that room were not very dark, and so it was really annoying and we were laughing, just making light of it. But like I hope we can sleep tonight. I am a very light sleeper and I need a room pitch black, and so having this light come on because it was raining out and so the rain was making this light come on over and over, and I finally as I'm falling asleep, I've got sasquatch on my mind for some reason because probably because we're out there on this with the woods behind us and stuff, but I'm thinking about sasquatch, which is it was interesting.

25:15 I thought that was really interesting at the time too, that this was like really on my mind, and I said, if you're out there, and I had just listened to one of your podcasts where it was shared that one of the people that hadn't experience had a sasquatch hell them and they were out camping. I think they were out there to do some sasquatching and had a sasquatch healed them, came into the camp at night, and that they left that camping experience with their I think it was their leg that was healed. And so I'm sure if there's listeners out there, some will remember this podcast, and I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about.

25:59 So as I laid there I thought, if you're if this is true, and you're out there and you're communicating with me through my dreams and I'm having these experiences with you, kill my knee. Just heal this knee. Takes this pain away, because my knee at the time was just throbbing. And I'm like, okay, I'm trying to fall asleep. My knees throbbing. This light is flashing, just keeps coming on and lighting up the room. So I finally fell asleep, and at some point in the night I woke up and as this light is coming on, I see the shadow of the only thing that I could describe it as a sasquatch. It was this very large shoulders, really big head move across the ceiling from less at any given time, and something like this happened in a normal setting.

26:53 This is on a normal setting, I would have freaked out and been wide awake. Instead, I said Sasquat, thank you, and went right back to sleep like it did not even FaZe me. And I know I was awake. I know that I had come fully awake, and I will share with you right now that as I am talking, I'm getting text from the beach retreat group, this group that I was with, which is hilarious, and I've not heard from this it's a group text and I haven't heard from this group text in a while, and they're texting me right now. So that just goes to show you how energy works. People feel stuff. So I anyway, I had this experience and completely forgot about it. I woke up in the morning. My knee pain was completely gone, and that knee pain has not come back. It has and it was a nice large size lump. I would say it was probably the size of a walnut on my knee that is completely gone and has been since that experience. But I did not remember right away. It wasn't I didn't wake up and go oh, to my friend, No I saw a sasquat shot. No, No, it was we got up, we are getting ready. We go downstairs.

28:05 Everyone's making breakfast, making coffee. And one of the girls said, I had a weird night's sleep and it sounded like someone was walking around outside. And she was right below us, and she had a deck outside her bedroom, and she said that it sounded like something was walking around out there. And then someone else said they thought that they heard some movement in the house and thought someone had come down and she's asking, did you girls come downstairs? And we were like no. So that was all interesting. But that's what Ben jogged my memory that I had that experience and I didn't share it right away with them because I'm two of the girls I know very well and feel like I could tell them anything. But the other three girls I was just getting to know. I now know I can share anything with them and they are total believers. But at the time I did not owe and iven share right away. But throughout the weekend as I got to know them better and we really opened up with each other and had some amazing experiences, I did share. I also forgot to mention that night when I said heal my knee, I also said, if you're out there, leave me a sign. And that's something I've gotten used to doing, is I'm going out. My husband and I are always going out to the woods to trails to we go up to Saint Helen's often and we ask for signs to be left. So I said, if you're if you are out there, he'll leave me a sign out in the woods. Because I planned on going for a morning walk, so we did that I

29:37 did end up sharing with my dear friend who had shared the room with me about the experience and that I asked them to leave me, leave me a sign. So we're out on our walk and sure enough, I came across a huge foot imprint and I have a picture of that I can send you. And I don't know if there's an area that you put up post pictures, but anyway, but this was yeah, I took some pictures of it. I was thrilled. I was like, I've never seen anything like this. This looks just like what I've seen other people take pictures of and show, and so I was really thrilled about that. And I will mention that during this time, while we're out there, the woods were completely silent. I have video. You cannot hear a bird, a crow, a chipmunk, nothing, It is completely silent while we're out there. And so it was just an awesome walk and I was thrilled. I've got this need that is no longer hurting me. I've got proof. I've asked for proof, and what I feel to be proof is out there. So I'm just I'm thrilled. I'm actually like a child and this kind of stuff does make me feel very childlike because it is so unknown and it's magical to me. It just makes me feel like, this is so amazing. I don't get the sense that they are dangerous. That doesn't mean that they are. There aren't areas that they inhabit that they aren't dangerous. But in

31:07 I believe that the ones in the Northwest are more on the peaceful side. They really will not bug us or bother us unless we are doing something to hurt or bother them. But yeah, I just that was a really amazing experience. And actually I will say that experience because the first time seeing one, I wouldn't say that was life changing for me. It just was more of an eye opener and really made me like, Okay, like I said, go from a believer to a knower. But this experience was life changing for me to have my need to ask for them to heal my knee and then have my knee heels. It was just amazing. And my husband and I then about a week later, we went up and checked out a spot in dispersed camp spot in Saint Helens and there was snow on the ground still, so we knew we were going to be coming back in a week and we went out there and checked it all out. Beautiful spot, and we said, if this spot's open when we come back up here, this is where we're camping, and had explored the whole area, and then a week later went up there to camp and again I'm talking to them. I've heard from other people.

32:24 They know our thoughts, they know when we're coming, they know when we're going to be there. Ask them to show us signs. And I'm not down outright saying show yourself to me. I'm just saying, if you're out there, I would love to know that you're out here, show us some signs, leave us some signs that you're out here. So we get out there that weekend and in the area where there was snow on the ground, it's this big and mind dude, this is not an area where a lot of people frequently go. It's pretty deep woods. It's at the base of Saint Helens and you have to drive back aways to get to this area and then walk in a ways actually to get to where.

33:06 So it was the next morning we had set up camp and everything, and the next morning we went on our morning walk and we walked back to this area and there was a stick right in the middle of this opening where there's no trees that a branch could have fallen and landed the way it did, but there was the stick sticking right out of the ground. And a week prior this stick was not there, so that was interesting. We took pictures. We just thought these things were interesting. I'm not saying it's sasquatch, I just like, again, I'm very open minded to these ideas. So we both thought, huh, that's interesting. That wasn't there last week. And so we walked further in and then we came to these stick structures that were very deliberately placed, almost looked like ruins or the way that they were cut or broken and then placed just meticulously on top of each other to form shapes. And again I have pictures of those I will send you. So that was again they were not there a week prior, and then here they are. Could a human have been out there and done this? Sure, But after asking for signs and knowing that others have had these experiences, for me, it was wow. Again. It was just that kid excited. I was extremely excited and grateful and anytime that I have an experience like this where it's like I ask and then I receive something.

34:35 I put myself in a place of gratitude. I just say thank you, thank you for showing me. And again, because just like people, they want to be validated and they don't. We as humans do not want to be told that what we have seen or what we've experienced didn't happen. We want to be validated in what we experience. And I think that this is so important and why I appreciate you so much, is that we need to normalize these kind of conversations and normalize validating people's feelings when they have an experience and not shut them down. I see that way too often in this field of research, is other people putting people that have had experiences down, and it's really a sad thing to see. But it's also just on the opposite side of that, more validating of people's experience, which is really cool. Yeah that, Let's see, when we were in Cape Cod, then just recently we went to kate Cod last month. We got to go and stay for two weeks and while we're there, we do a lot of bike riding on the bike trails.

35:40 And again, because I'm just now totally into it, very open minded. Anytime in the woods, there's a feeling that I think some of the listeners that have had these experiences will understand. There's just an energy in the air. There's a feeling in the air when you are near these creatures. And there was at one point in our bike ride where I'm riding along and I see some things tree structure shapes that the crosses, the a's in this area that we go to that's very sick with woods on either side of the bike trail, and I'm again in my own head. I've got my music playing, and this bike ride's phenomenal. It's a beautiful day, and I just say, okay, if I'm actually seeing your structures and you're out here, give me a sign. And I hear a very loud swap sound against a tree. And I was much further ahead of my husband at this point, and just I had to stop. I stopped my bike and just sat there and listened, and I didn't hear anything more. And my husband came along and I told him about the tree structures I had passed and stuff, and he says, point them out on the way back, and so on the way back, I did, but just nothing crazy to that experience, just an experience, just something fun that I can again say, the energy was different, the energy shifted and it was that giddy, excited feeling

37:13 that I got. And then we did a train ride while we were there as well to it's through the board, over the board bridge and areas that were just squatchy looking, and so I started looking up I have there been sightings in Cape Cod and there definitely have beens in Sandwich area. You can look up sasquatch or bigfoot sightings in Cape Cod and there's a documented sighting my two sisters, I believe it was in Sandwich, and lots of people experiencing having their own sightings in Massachusetts and Boston and around those areas, in the thicker wooded areas of those areas. So that's it. I will conclude with that. That's just my experience and my excitement, and I hope to keep having experiences. My husband and I call it I sell squatters now and it's just for us. It's just so much fun. We've been together for twenty four years and that's how we keep our relationship thriving, is just enjoying life with each other and doing things that are exciting and fine. We get out and go into the woods a lot, and we've promised each other and ourselves that we're going to continue to do that. Every chance that we get, we go and see if we can have some experiences. We're safe about it. I don't encourage people to just go out blindly and start looking. I definitely be safe and make sure that you have your protection and stuff. But yeah, I think if we're not putting ourselves out there, how are we going to have the experiences?

38:47 One hundred percent. I agree with you one hundred percent. You need to get out there, but also be careful, especially if you're going into remote areas. Have something like a garment or something. If you need to press a button you can to get help. Yeah. Absolutely absolutely. I was so happy to I didn't know. I don't think we had talked about the Cape cod stuff out in Oregon. That's really cool. But you're right, there are a lot of documented sightings down in that area. I'm just thinking of stuff that I've gotten on the show. And Southeast Massachusetts, even before you get to the Cape, has a ton of stuff. People can go to. Bigfoot Society podcast Dot com and there's a sighting map that I'm working on, and you've got like the Bridgewater Triangle down there is extremely has a ton of weird stuff and bigfoot encounters in it. But I did have just a few kind of comments about things you were talking about.

39:40 There's some incredible stuff that you shared when you were talking about Long Beach. Was that Long Beach, Washington? Yes, okay, cool, You're right. That is definitely an area that has bigfoot activity. It's come up on the show before in episode eight thirty five where a guy was staying at a house, a coastal house, and he's looking out a window and pretty much there's a bigfoot looking in at him, making eye contact, and then it turns and walks away into the forest. That area, I've heard a lot of stuff. I mean that one, and then there's what is it Ocean Shores I think is the one that gets talked about a little bit more. But yeah, that Long Beach area is definitely a squatchy as well. The Oregon Vortex that's on my list to talk and list to check out.

40:37 That's down in gold Hill, Oregon. That's yep, it's come up once. I was talking to a guy named David Boozer, and that is. It's a huge hold on eight. I'm gonna edit all this. It's gonna be great. I want to get the number though it is episode nine I know too, And yeah, that area he said is really weird. It is on my list to go there because I heard it. If you've ever watched the old Gravity Falls cartoon like that and yes, yeah, A big fan of that for sure. The good example of a person being healed that I can think of right off the bat on the show. I would say the episode with Tom Cantrail is really good too, because he out on an expedition and ran into some pretty heavy healing situations.

41:30 That's for eighty nine. But was that the one where he went in with a lamp and then left feeling like a new person? I part that I remember. I feel terrible. I feel terrible because it's my own show and I should know Tom's won. Okay, you a lot of people. I totally understand Tom's I think was more to do with his heart. Someone will know and be in the comments and be like octually dream it's episode something or other, So if someone could do that would be great. But you your comment was really interesting where you were having the dream, actually the first dream. So what you saw when you saw the sasquatch laying on the medical room table, was that similar to what you had seen when you had the sighting earlier.

42:21 No, Actually, the one that was on the table was a light, light color. I could see details. I was looking at it. I saw the hands, and the color was more of a lighter brown. I wouldn't say like red like some I've described this one. This sasquatch was lighter. And when it said we can be both, it reached down. And this is the part I was going to leave out because it was so odd that it lifted its male part to show me that there were there was female anatomy below. And again it just that dream. Coming out of that dream, I thought that was so weird, and at the same time, there was this truth that resonated there for me. It was like, this is true.

43:06 I don't know if they have both anatomies, but I know that they can shift. It's almost like a shift, like a morphine per se, that they can shift their body to be both. I don't know. It's just such an odd thing, but in that moment just validating, like wow, that's really amazing. You guys are such amazing creatures. And there was this like thank you gratitude feeling there. Again, in both dreams, I never spoke out loud to them. It was just like a mind speak kind of thing. And then because of that, I think that's what for me really locked it in to mind speak to them when I'm out there, and then to hear other people say that. That is the coolest thing for me about all of this, is to have these feelings or these experiences and then have other people valid date them by listening to your podcast and someone say something and I'm like, oh, yes, exactly, yeah, that's exactly what I've experienced, or that's exactly what I've felt or thought or what they told me in the dreams.

44:12 So it's been really cool. It's just again, it's just been magical for me to have these validations. Wow, that was going to be next, but sorry, so no, that was That's absolutely incredible. So yeah, this is gonna be one of those episodes where it's Hey, if you don't want your kids to have knowledge of high school science and stuff, probably not the ones for you. But I think it's important because there there is doing a quick search because I'm not a biologist, but that would be something I believe that's considered simultaneous hermaphroditism, and so that that's where there's I believe they both have or the creature has both male and female reproductive organs at the same time. That's that's the thing in nature. I've got some examples here. I just looked up real quick.

45:03 Garden snails, slugs, some oysters, some clams, some earthworms, leeches, I guess the barred hamlet fish, sponges, barnacles. So it's not a thing where it's not out there, but just it's such such an interesting dream to have. It really makes you want it, really. Yeah, it was just one of them things that make you go. And I also didn't mention that we went up again to Saint Helens, just more recently. It was a week night, or I made a weekend, and I just got the urge to get all cozy, grab some jackets and sleeping bags and pillows and just drive up to Saint Holends because we're a very quick jot. It's about a forty five minute drive for us from Vancouver to Saint Helens. When you're up at the base and I wanted to go back to our camp spot and John we grabbed some snacks, grabbed a coffee, and headed up.

46:03 And I love that my husband is spontaneous like that. If I say something crazy, he's sure, why not, let's do it. So it's exciting, and so we just we did that. We went up there. We got there about nine o'clock at night. It's dark, and we rolled the windows down a bit. It's a full noon it is right up there. There are no cars up there. As we're driving up there, we did not pass any other cars, so we didn't see anybody else. All of the dispersed camping spots are free. They're you know, one's parked in them, which in before when we go up there would be one or two of them at least taken. So I was like, oh, hopefully no one's there. We get up there are spots open, we park and as we're laying there, as we get through starting getting it more into the night, we heard an owl, which was really cool, and that's something that my husband and I experienced a lot. We see ow they'll swoop down and just land on a branch above our head. Anytime we're out and I'm saying to the point where it's we almost expect it now because it happens so often where we'll say we hope we see an owl, and then an owl will appear for us, and it's just really cool. Me has so many pictures. If you're on my Facebook, people say, I'm always posting pictures of owls. So we heard an l out there, and then we started hearing gunshots and they would come in like threes, and I say gunshots because that is exactly what they sounded like. They sounded like somebody was firing off a gun, and we thought it

47:36 was a little unnerving it would be laying out there in the dark, in the moonlight and have these gunshots going off. But we had never heard any cars approaching. We never saw any cars go by. And mind you, when we were out there camping, cars were going by out on the main road, and it's a popular area. It's right at the base of Saint Helens as far as like where people will drive up to go up and do their hikes on Saint Helens, So cars were going by that area that this night. We never saw any cars go by, So we were like, weird that we're hearing these gunshots. But those gunshots continued until we decided to just go home at four in the morning because we could not sleep because these gunshots would go silent and then all of a sudden it would just be one, and then it would go silent again, and then there would be three and then go silent. So it was just it was odd. It was something that I made note of, Okay, and I've heard other people's experiences saying that these tree knocks or whatnot can sound like gunshots. So I made note of that because they were just we didn't feel like it was someone out there just letting off one round and then waiting fifteen to twenty minutes, thirty minutes and then letting off another three rounds or four rounds. So it was just odd the way that they were doing it. So anyway, I wanted to mention that too.

48:59 I'm glad you and yeah, that kind of behavior doesn't really make sense for the shots to be in groups of three like that all the time. That's not I don't think that's easily explained away. No, you mentioned how you're asking for proof when you go out, which I always think is very interesting when people do that and I don't. You may have heard this. Have you heard on the show? What happened when I did this in Oakridge? I probably did. Okay, just in case, just in case. How we went out to the woods and so wacky. It was cool though, it was really cool. Walked away from the group for a minute and then I was like, Hey, if there's anyone out here, can you make a noise? And then there were like three wood knocks, like about probably thirty forty feet away, like a half a second after I asked it was It was wild? And then I was like yeah. And then I was like, maybe that's a coincidence because we're always trying to explain things away like you said, or you're trying to exactly let logic take over.

50:07 So I did it again. I was like, hey, there's something here, can you make a noise? And the same thing happened. That was wild, and I was like, ah, man, part of me wonders, what would have happened if I had walked into the woods. Is it a thing where I would have seen something? Or would I have disappeared forever? I didn't. I just went I was like, okay, back to the group, but you need to be smart. Yeah, yeah, I know. I definitely have wanted to wander away at times and I'm like no, yeah. Then your logical brain takes over and say you're you're only human. Yeah, you're talking about the Oregon vortex. And that's something I didn't know where it's quiet all the time. There you're saying.

50:53 Yes, yeah, it was something I had not heard either until we went and that to your Guida saying, by away, listen, what can you hear? You're not hearing any birds. You're not hearing we never hear birds here. Birds do not come into this area. And that was just something that blew my mind. I was like, yeah, why that is so cool. And then to drive away from it and here, like I said, maybe half mile a mile away from it, you're hearing the birds again and making note of that. So definitely when you go, pay attention to that part of it, because to me, that was just blew my mind. I thought wow. And then the fact that you so many people have said that they have not heard birds, and going back to when we were in the woods in Long Beach and I asked for the sign and saw the footprint and we weren't hearing any birds and stuff.

51:43 I made note of that. My friend, she humors me, she loves me. She's yeah, that's weird. That is interesting. When I had video that I was walking along and taking video and she's walking ahead of me and stuff, and you do not hear a bird. The next day when we all went out, it was the same time of day and we played drums and you're hearing all kind you're hearing crows, you're hearing birds, you're hearing squirrels, and we're out there like singing and playing our drums with stucking cuckooss, just having fun. But the forest was alive with sound at the same time of day as the day before when there was not a sound. So it was just a trip to have that experience too.

52:32 That is so cool. It's always fun to hear a story like you and your husbands, where you guys are aware, aware of what's going on, but you have the excitement you're going out there and you're experiencing things. It's just extremely cool. It's just when we were talking out in Oakridge and so you guys had traveled all the way down from Washington for that, and you may have mentioned that actually yes, yeah. Wow, yeah, It was about three hour drive, not far. We've definitely driven further from things and stuff. We like long car rides, so I was like, oh, we're going, this is happening. So yeah, it was just that was so fun. And we went on that night hike that was done. I think it was Saturday night. We didn't come out Friday night. We didn't get there till Saturday, and so Saturday night we ended up doing that night hike and Priscilla's husband had dressed up as a sasquatch and the kids are all scared. Priscilla had gone ahead of us, and off the top of my head, I cannot think of I follow him now since I've met him, I follow him, but I had not. I'd seen a few few things on him, but the blonde guy that has his own show, and he was one of the speakers there. Yes, thank you. I'm horrible with names if it's not in front of me. Yeah. Jason Kensey had let us out on this night walk. So that was a fun. Just was goofy, but it was fun. And Priscilla's husband came running out and the kids screamed. We

54:04 all screamed. Actually, to be honest to be honest, all are going what But for anybody listening, if you have wanted to experience the Sasquatch Summer Fest, I highly recommend it and encourage you to do it because it's just a fun and great group of people and yeah we had a blast. Yeah, that night hike is pretty cool and a lot of listeners might be like, oh, it's just a night hike. Okay. So the thing is like you go across the bridge for the river and then on the other side of that river, like it's the woods right there. That's yeah, that's it, and there's a trail. But you're like, they have a ton of actual sightings out there, so it's not we also make it for the kids where they make it for the kids where there's someone with a costume, but there are actual legitimate sightings that are reported on that road. And I think both times last year and the year before or last year, and there were people that were experiencing some weird things over there on the other side outside of the actual night hikes. So it's just one of those areas that Oakridge is so weird.

55:20 Yeah, it's cool. It was just absolutely beautiful to be out there in that in the woods to every side of you, and the town's meat and the people are neat and stuff. That just the experience to be out that that bridge, going across that bridge at night was thrilling because at the very least it was the water rushing and the whole experience was just really fun. And we almost didn't do it because we were tired. I was sunburnt, and we were chasing every anybody that was out there will remember we were all chasing the shade to listen to all the speakers. Unfortunately, I did end up getting sunburned, so I was like, I'm exhausted. I kind of want to go back. And my husband actually was the one to talk us into, saying, and he's, come on, we're out here, when are we going to do I'm like, no, you're right, let's do this. I'm glad we did stay and do it. And yeah, it was just a great experience overall.

56:12 That's awesome. It really is a really fun time and if people can't get for the festival, can't get there for the festival, you can also go other times of the year because that's when you can actually go to the Bigfoot Museum near Dery, Queen which is really cool too, Area fifty eight. But Rebecca, this has been a really fun conversation. I'm glad we're able to chat on the show. I'm going to have your book link as well down the description so people can check that out. It looks like a pretty good read, so people definitely want to check that out. And is there we I edit all this so this potentially we've taken out, But is there a way people can contact you if they have questions about what it is you do with energy and things like that.

57:00 Absolutely, i am the Healing Amethyst on Facebook, that's my page, or even Magnetic Universe my book page on a Facebook, or I'm Prosperous Mama in Instagram. Great cool, so I will definitely have those as well. But thank you so much for coming on again. It's been a fun one. Hopefully our paths cross again sometime in the future. Yes, absolutely, this has been just very enjoyable, and thank you for doing what you do and giving people a platform to share their experiences. Because while for me it was amazing and life changing and fun, and I say that it brings out the child getty excited part of me, I know for others they've had some more serious experiences and it wasn't as fun for them. And hope that everybody can understand that they have the ability to shift the way that they think around these things. And I think that is the biggest overall message that is being brought forward to is we have the ability to see peace through things rather than violence. And I do believe that's something that's and I've been told I'm naive. I was actually called laive around that, but that's just the feeling I get that they do want to teach more peace and love, that you don't judge a book by its cover, because yes, they look like these big, scary, large creatures, that they have more peace and understanding of

58:33 the way of things than we do, and that they are here to teach us. That's a big thing that's come forward for me, is that they are teachers for us. They know more than we do and we're only scratching the surface. So I'll leave it at that, and thank you so much for having me on. Absolutely, Thank you again, Rebecca. Also a quick update from Rebecca. The beach retreat that they went to not actually at Long Beach, Washington, but it was Lincoln City, Oregon. So just wanted to throw that out there so that people in Lincoln City know and also people in Long Beach. No, thanks for listening, guys. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul.

1:00:02 And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you.
