A camper in Alabama came face to face with a massive gray Bigfoot deep inside Bankhead National Forest.


The creature watched silently from behind a log before stepping directly toward the witnesses under moonlight. Long gray hair. Glowing pale eyes. Human expressions on its face. Twenty feet away.


The witness says the encounter changed his life physically and mentally for months afterward.


This episode also features:
• Multiple encounters near the waterways of rural Ohio
• Strange rock-throwing incidents around isolated properties
• A truck driver witnessing a tree violently shoved into the road in southern Illinois before dawn


Real people. Real locations. Experiences they never forgot.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigla Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.760
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 --> 00:00:32.399
So stay with us. Hey, Kevin, how are you.

11
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.560
Hey, I'm doing good, doing good?

12
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.920
Hey, you have good? Have we talked before?

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.320
Yeah? Maybe a year ago?

14
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:40.840
A year ago?

15
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:41.640
Okay?

16
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.759
Cool? Awesome? Hey, Well, thanks for coming up and for

17
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:51.079
being willing to share your story. Also, sometimes I use

18
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.880
audio from conversations on this platform for the podcast that

19
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.640
I have. Would that be all right if I potentially

20
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:57.960
do that?

21
00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.880
Yes, sir, sir?

22
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.079
Cool. Well, y'all feel free to share what happened down

23
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.040
in Alabama there.

24
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.000
Well, long story short, I had a buddy that was

25
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.359
going to Bankhead kind of for fun and to relax,

26
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.560
and he started coming across weird things and weird lights,

27
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.000
weird sounds, and he invited me out there and we

28
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.680
encountered a gray bigfoot in about twenty fifteen at the

29
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.239
campground there in Bankhead.

30
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.560
Oh man, that that's wild. How big was it?

31
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.359
It's at least eight foot eight nine ten. It's it's

32
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.799
all a pretty wild adventure. Uh, it was. It was gray,

33
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.560
very it was. It was so fast, you know. That's

34
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.400
that's that's one thing that tells me that it's not

35
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.920
of not of this earth. How quick it was. It

36
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.439
was there one minute gone, just seemed like no time. Hm.

37
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.560
Hm.

38
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.239
Was it a thing where you were hiking along and

39
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.760
you saw it or just came into your campsite or what?

40
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:07.959
What was the story there?

41
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.680
We were at the campground, just kind of hanging out,

42
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.319
kind of something we do on a regular basis. We've

43
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.520
found that like going into the woods looking for bigfoot

44
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.360
does didn't seem to work for us. It seemed like

45
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.080
if we would go to the campground and just act normal,

46
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.800
we've seemed to get more more activity that way.

47
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.039
I agree with you one hundred percent. That's that's what

48
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.840
happens for me too. Did you notice any details about it.

49
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:49.240
Besides the height, Yes, I did. I noticed how how

50
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:57.800
long and how how long their hair was, and it

51
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.879
was very human, very humanistic look to it. Yes, it

52
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.360
was a bigfoot, but it very It had a very

53
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:10.919
humanistic look to its face. I'm still trying to process that,

54
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.879
still trying to figure that out, what that meant, what

55
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.639
that was, But I don't know. It just had a

56
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.840
humanistic look to its face.

57
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.639
How how long would you say the hair was?

58
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.800
Wo six seven, eight, nine, ten inches? Okay, especially hanging

59
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.319
off of his arm like it was. It was visibly

60
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.319
a good five six inches long hanging hanging off of

61
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.240
his arm.

62
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.719
Were there parts of it that were not covered by

63
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.159
hair or was it pretty much all hair colored?

64
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.520
His hands? His hands were not covered, his face was

65
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.240
not covered. I couldn't see his feet, but everything else

66
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:52.800
was covered.

67
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.560
Yes, So when you saw it, did it was it

68
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.520
moving or doing anything? Or was it just kind of

69
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.120
standing there and hanging out.

70
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.400
So at first it was observing us from behind a

71
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.199
tree or a log that was laying on the ground.

72
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.560
The sasquatch was laying down on the ground and it

73
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.879
was peeking over the log. I can remember seeing his

74
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.120
glowing eyes. It would peek over log and we saw

75
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.240
it and we went a little closer and next thing

76
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.240
we knew it was coming towards us.

77
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:32.839
What color was its glowing eyes?

78
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.639
Glowing eyes were whitish, not white white white, but kind

79
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.600
of an off color white.

80
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.439
Okay, And what did you start to do when it

81
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.120
came towards you? That would have been something else.

82
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.279
Man, Well, looking back at it, so what we did

83
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.040
when we saw it? And I've got it on video.

84
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.319
I think I might have sent it to you when

85
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.560
we talked before. But anyway, we retreated back to our campsite.

86
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.480
We calmly gathered our equipment off of the picnic table,

87
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.439
the concrete picnic table. We spent about fifteen minutes, but

88
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.959
we were actually in shock and didn't realize it. But

89
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.560
we gathered our equipment. We drove an hour home. We

90
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.360
didn't speak a word of it to each other until

91
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.000
we got home and my buddy looks over at me.

92
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.639
He says, did you see something back there? And I

93
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.040
was like, yeah, I saw something back there, all right,

94
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.240
But it was almost like we couldn't talk about it

95
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.199
at first.

96
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:37.839
Why do you think that was?

97
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.160
Well? I was about to ask you what your opinion

98
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.319
was on that. I think we were physically in shock.

99
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.079
I think that might be something to do with it.

100
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.000
I think also if you bring yourself to talk to

101
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:55.120
someone out loud about it, out of your own head,

102
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.639
that puts you in a situation where like now you're

103
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.519
committed to it, right, Okay, I think that's a lot

104
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.079
to do with it.

105
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.279
You know, what do you like?

106
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.399
So so not everyone when they bring it up to

107
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.920
a buddy has a good experience where the buddy is like,

108
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.000
oh yeah, I experience that too. A lot of times

109
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.879
people say, oh, like you're crazy, and then that that

110
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.680
will destroy relationships, right, So it's it's kind of like

111
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.399
it's a bridge to cross potentially when you bring that

112
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.800
up to someone. But I think it helps a lot

113
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.160
when people do it, you.

114
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:33.360
Know, yeah, yep, but yeah, it took about an hour

115
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.480
for us to you know, communicate to each other about it.

116
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:38.600
I found that pretty odd.

117
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.240
Absolutely well, I mean it is. I I've heard of

118
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.759
like sometimes, I mean I've talked to guys where they

119
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.439
have situations like this and they never talked to the

120
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.879
their buddy again, like they can't do it, you know,

121
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.360
years and years and they never talked to them. So

122
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.439
you mentioned there was a a lot of like humanistic

123
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.560
features to it. Could you explain what that was about?

124
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:13.120
So after my after my sighting, that's probably one of

125
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.839
the most important things that I remember about it, that

126
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.399
it had a very humanistic look to its face, Like

127
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.439
you could you could tell by the look on its

128
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:30.000
face that it was it was disappointed. It was, uh.

129
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.920
And the reason I say that, I'll get to that,

130
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.160
but you could tell that it was shocked by the

131
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.480
look on its face. You could tell its emotion and

132
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.519
what I think the reason is for its emotion of

133
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.519
being spotted. This thing was walking towards us, and it

134
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.399
was almost like a spotlight. The clouds parted almost and

135
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.800
the moon the moonlight lit it up, and the look

136
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.160
on its face was like, oh, no, I've been spotted,

137
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.360
you know, kind of like oh, oh crap, oh crap. Anyway,

138
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:07.439
I could just see so so many humanistic or human

139
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.839
features on that dude's face. Uh, just a nice brow

140
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.319
ridge forehead it had. It had a larger nose, I'll

141
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.199
say that kind of flat, but a larger nose, had

142
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:27.360
larger lips. I remember him being kind of blackish purplish

143
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.759
look to it on the on the hands and face.

144
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.559
So you mentioned the hands before. What kind of features

145
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.039
did the hands? Could you see nails and how did

146
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:42.639
those look?

147
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.080
Couldn't couldn't see nails. It's about three in the morning,

148
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.320
and we just, yeah, couldn't see nails. Just to see

149
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.720
the color to be on throuit. Just the color mm hmm.

150
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.759
Okay, his face wrinkled.

151
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.919
His face was kind of wrinkled. His hair, his hair,

152
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.440
he was definitely gray, but he had about three four

153
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.120
or five shades of gray in there, you know what

154
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.759
I mean. It wasn't a solid color.

155
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.399
Sure, sure was there a smell at all.

156
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:08.799
Didn't smell anything.

157
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.039
Okay, interesting.

158
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:14.320
Came right.

159
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.480
That's crazy. How close did it get to you guys?

160
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:23.720
About twenty feet? Wow, that's that's about the closest. We've

161
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.320
been chasing this guy for probably ten years out there

162
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.000
in Bankhead, and you know, it seems like there's about

163
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.039
a thirty to fifty foot barrier that they'll, you know,

164
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.240
stay away from us, it seems like. But yeah, this

165
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.200
is definitely the closest I've ever been to one. It

166
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:50.320
was wild. It was wild. Feel kind of honored, to

167
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.519
be honest with you. You know, I'm not sure what

168
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.080
all it takes to have an encounter, but I know

169
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.279
there's a lot to it.

170
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.159
It's I think you're you're right there, man, it is

171
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.120
it's a it's a it's a same thing where not

172
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.320
everyone experiences it. But have you heard of other people

173
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.679
seeing something similar in the same forest, like a gray

174
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.480
type creature?

175
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.120
You know, there's there's stories about it. I've done some

176
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:21.919
research after my siding and after my encounter, and yeah,

177
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.279
there are stories out there.

178
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.720
Gotcha. Would you ever want to have the same type

179
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.399
of experience?

180
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.159
Again, no story, I would not.

181
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:31.320
Why is that?

182
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.840
To be honest with you, For like two to three

183
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:42.240
months after my encounter, I was physically sick. I ended

184
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:48.039
up with vertigo. I had vertigo for like two to

185
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.840
three months. Just was very ill physically for about two

186
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.200
to three months after mind.

187
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.759
Counter and vertigo meaning extremely dizzy.

188
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.519
Extremely dizzy when you stand up, you throw up, trouble Yeah, yeah,

189
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.080
trouble walking. Uh yeah, that's exactly what it is.

190
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:16.559
Wow, that is that's kind of concerning. Before I've never

191
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.159
heard it where it sticks with a person. Usually it's

192
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.120
there for like a day or so and then goes away.

193
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.799
Okay, so you have heard of that that happening. Yeah. Yeah.

194
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.360
Sometimes people say it's one of the symptoms of infrasound,

195
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.559
potentially like a nausea. It's something, but it's crazy. That's

196
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.399
weird that you had it stick with you for so long.

197
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:41.440
That's very strange.

198
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.960
I was like in the bed, man, if I wasn't

199
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.399
at working, I was in the bed. It was. It

200
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.960
was a long period of time, at least two months. Wow.

201
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.240
Well, I'm glad that you are out of it now.

202
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.320
It sounds like you are back in good health now.

203
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.720
I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I just want the

204
00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.679
truth to come out.

205
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.519
Uh me too, right there with you.

206
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.200
I really do. Man. People think it's a big joke.

207
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.440
I got news for you. Come on the bankhead, I'll

208
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:12.840

Kevin. I saw your I looked through my email real

210
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.600
quick and I saw where you emailed me in a

211
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:26.200
few different times. But the I wasn't able to get

212
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.759
any photos or anything. But it was more like a

213
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.679

214
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:34.879

I had one, a couple of different ones, but yeah.

229
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.840
That's awesome. Feel free to share what your experience was there, man.

230
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.879
Well, the area I live in, super rural in Ohio.

231
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.000
You know, just I guess fields and woods. There's a

232
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.480
lot of lakes around here too. Well I've heard from

233
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.799
other people and stuff that they they like to follow

234
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.840
the water, like the water chains and stuff.

235
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:44.519
Yep.

236
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.879
Well the area I was as a dam and I

237
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.320
was a kid. We were boy scouts. We were playing

238
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.679
in the field. You know, it's dark out, you know,

239
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.360
just by the moonlight the fires, probably fifty yards from

240
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.840
where we were playing that. Well, there was this by

241
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.360
the woodline. There's this big black figure that you know,

242
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.879
stood there and I kind of like ran up to it. Well,

243
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:12.360
it took off and I don't know if you can

244
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.759
like imagine it, but like imagine a cartoon character like

245
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.679
taking long strides in the dark and you just and

246
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:25.240
it looks it looks humified, but like it's just so fast.

247
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.080
Well I went up to somebody and asked them about it,

248
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.360
and you know, they kind of called me like, like,

249
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.840
you know, what are you talking about. You know, I

250
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.039
was just a seven year old kid. Well, uh, that

251
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.279
neck the same night, we were you know, kind of

252
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.679
just hanging out. Well, there was a we were kind

253
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.840
of just on the side like by the brush, like

254
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.559
right by the brush, and they were having a fire

255
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.039
right there. Well, uh, there's a bunch of brush, you know,

256
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.600
further away, you know, getting broke up and everything, and

257
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.279
you know, you couldn't tell anything whether there was a

258
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.720
stick throwing at somebody. I don't know if it was

259
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.840
another person that threw a stick and they kind of

260
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.440
just was just dicking off. Sorry for the language, but like,

261
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:13.399
h never really like never really made sense on that night.

262
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.919
But the next day we were leaving and I was

263
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.879
with these two other kids and we were walking on

264
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.440
this trail.

265
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:20.919
Well there was this.

266
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:25.440
Big brown figure you know, probably maybe half a football

267
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.679
field or a whole football field away just down the

268
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.519
trail looking at us, and you know it like it

269
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.960
looked like it was running towards us. Well, we just

270
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.120
got so scared and.

271
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:34.919
Took off.

272
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:42.919
My another time, in that same area, years later, I

273
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.200
was walking one day and I walked off the trail

274
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.200
and like in a canal kind of where with a

275
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:53.360
bunch of like different water systems, like for a dam.

276
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.879
You know there the area I was walking back. Nobody's

277
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.639
gonna walk back there in their bare feet. It's just

278
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:05.159
it's just it's a muddy area, you know. Well, I

279
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.200
thought I found footprints, and I actually had some lady

280
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:15.240
from a like a like a Bigfoot like society. I

281
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.960
forget what it was, what program it was, who she's through,

282
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.080
but she came and looked at them for me, and uh,

283
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.519
you know, she tried to have me cast them and everything,

284
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.799
but I didn't have anything to like really cast them with,

285
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.440
so I tried to cover them up as best as

286
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:36.559
I could with like you know brush and everything like that. Well, uh, anyways,

287
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.799
it rained, but the pic. I do have a picture

288
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.200
that I'm gonna try to see if I can get

289
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.519
it to like come up, but give me one second.

290
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.919
If you like, I can put it up here or

291
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.960
I can just you know, send it to you. But okay,

292
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.200
Well through the when I was well, when I was

293
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.759
on the phone with this lady, the area I was

294
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.600
in just you know, there's a bunch of trees. It's

295
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:08.240
really it's really easy to you know, to hide yourself. Well,

296
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.799
there was a rock thrown like a pebble, you know,

297
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.720
thrown in my direction into the water, and I thought

298
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.759
it was just like a frog or something, or a toad,

299
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.759
but I I didn't see any animals out there, but

300
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.680
you know, it was just it was super like dark

301
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.400
and eerie. Like you know, I got like goosebumps, you know,

302
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.640
during the whole situation. And like you said with the

303
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.880
other guy about going to people with it, you know,

304
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.599
you really can't even go to somebody about that. It's

305
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.039
just because they call you crazy and then they you know,

306
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.799
think you're delusional or something like that. And then like

307
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.640
so I've really never I got obsessed with it around

308
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.359
that time. You know, I got really obsessed with it,

309
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.680
and I seen a lot of people and that the

310
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.559
judgment of I don't care, I know what I seen.

311
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.079
You know that was in my head and like what

312
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.079
anybody told me, like they were most of them are

313
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:10.000
telling me I'm crazy or you know, just dumb, and

314
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.640
like basically it was just like that, but.

315
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:16.559
Never really.

316
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.559
I also used to live, you know, probably about five

317
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.519
minutes from where I was, and I used to park

318
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.680
my car right next to a corn crib and the

319
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.039
corn there it would just be like an area where

320
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.319
you know, it dropped down about fifteen feet over the

321
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.359
edge of the of the gravel and it was just

322
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.880
an old area for a silo. Well I'd park my

323
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.039
car next to there at my old house, and you know,

324
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.640
it happened for years. It happened to my mom as well,

325
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.759
but they like just rock pebbles would get thrown at

326
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.559
the car when it was running, like and then during

327
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.960
the dark out when it was dark out, Like there

328
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.480
was one night where I was sitting in there with

329
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.960
my ex girlfriend and me and we were just sitting there,

330
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.079
you know, just talking, no music on, car was off,

331
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.359
we had the light on. You know, there was a

332
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.359
decent sized pebble thrown at my car and it just

333
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.720
that happened a lot, and you know, it actually got normal.

334
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.599
It just became a normal thing, like we were just

335
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.440
normalized to it. Yeah, but I've had little things like

336
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.519
that and just little things where you can't really tell

337
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:29.759
people about. It's just you know, I guess you know,

338
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.759
do they just think you're a little delusional and stuff

339
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:35.519
like that. But like around my area that same thought,

340
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.240
there's been a lot of people that I've heard that

341
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.000
have had, you know, different things happen, and but they

342
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.440
don't they're just not public about it, like it has

343
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.400
to really get into the conversation. But my area of

344
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.519
rural Ohio, like we the Miami River flows.

345
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.160
Right through oh Total.

346
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.960
Yeah, and then we also have you know, there's probably

347
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.200
four or five different lakes that you know, just flow

348
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:06.240
through between this area and you know to Cincinnati as

349
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.680
well that they all kind of the the dams kind

350
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.880
of all flow into themselves to the Miami River. So

351
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.720
there's a lot of like just a lot of water

352
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:20.799
and you know, food sources and everything like that.

353
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:24.279
So you're like southwest Ohio, then.

354
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:30.480
Uh look up, uh, Sydney, Ohio. That's the the area.

355
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.359
Sydney, Ohio. Okay, I mean, I'm gonna look it up

356
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:41.039
on my sighting map here. Okay, So you are like

357
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:47.160
over near the border near north of Dayton. Yeah, yeah, okay, interesting.

358
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.400
I mean I've got a few a few sighting reports

359
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.319
by Dayton area. That's interesting. So your stuff is happening

360
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:04.000
around Sydney. Okay, okay, that's awesome. Are you Are you

361
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:08.400
thinking of actively trying to look into this more? Is

362
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.559
just something as you're out that.

363
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.400
Actually happened to that. Sorry to interrupt you, but that happened.

364
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.559
That last sighting happened a couple of years ago, and

365
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:20.960
I actually was really like interested. Well, the more I

366
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.640
guess the hate that I got from it and everything

367
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.839
was kind of like just it wasn't overbearing. It was

368
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.319
just kind of like I didn't want to deal with it,

369
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.880
so I kind of just threw it away. But I would,

370
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.200
but I'm very interested in the whole subject. It just

371
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.119
depends who I'm talking to about the subject.

372
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.079
Yeah, absolutely. And that's where it's tricky, because you know,

373
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.119
there are so many people out there where you try

374
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.720
to tell them your stories and they'll just make funny

375
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.799
And that's that's the main reason why I have this

376
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:55.039
channel and the podcast I do, where then people can

377
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.759
have an outlet to to share and not have to

378
00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.480
worry about.

379
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:00.839
Being You really are the first person i've actually like,

380
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.759
you've said my thoughts on words that you said it

381
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.960
in words. You know, you can't tell people like you've

382
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.000
got to cross a bridge basically, and it's a it's

383
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.359
a cool thing that you put it in words, to

384
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:13.880
be honest.

385
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.039
So yeah, no, that's that's the first time I've ever

386
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.200
had that thought today when I was talking to the

387
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.799
previous gentleman. So I'll have to have to remember that

388
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.839
because it sounds like it kind of struck.

389
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.640
I bet it resonated with a lot of people.

390
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.680
Yeah, it resonated with me right away.

391
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:32.599
I was we weren't even talking, and I was like,

392
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.680
he's so right, Like no, but.

393
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.000

401
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:01.400
Hello, there doing doing well. A few questions for you

402
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.279
real quick. I want to make sure is there any

403
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.319
way you could get closer to your mic a little bit? Okay,

404
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.359
oh you know what, Yeah, you're right to hit it up. Yeah,

405
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:14.599
it's it's pretty low.

406
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.440
Hold on, I'm dis connecting.

407
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:28.000
This sounds great now, sir. Thanks for coming up, man,

408
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.359
and feel free to share what your experience was.

409
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.920
You're welcome. I I was.

410
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.640
I travel inside Illinois. I'm a truck driver and back

411
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:42.079
in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, I had my own authority,

412
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:46.400
so I would run loads for a Coca Cola company

413
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:50.400
from Elsip, Illinois to the Coin, Illinois. So one time,

414
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.480
I usually leave at three in the morning so I

415
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.400
can get there at six thirty in the morning.

416
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:56.359
It's a straight three.

417
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.440
Hundred mile drive, so got to run it. So I

418
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.759
take this one route that's a two lane highway. It's

419
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.559
called Washington Street or something like that. That leads me

420
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:09.119
into another street that gets me to the Coin. And

421
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:13.319
one time I was I have forty three thousand pounds,

422
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:15.119
so I have to keep the speed limit under a

423
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.799
stoppable distance. If something jumps in front of me when

424
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.079
I was expecting a deer or something, and I always

425
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.519
got to look out for them. So all of a sudden,

426
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.680
from like one hundred yards a day away, I see

427
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.960
a tree that's like being pushed towards the road, and

428
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.440
I'm like what, So I slowed down to a speed

429
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.720
where I could like stop if it falls in front

430
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.920
of me, and then like fifty yards prior to getting there,

431
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.759
it just slams across the street and shatters into four

432
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.559
big pieces.

433
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:46.839
Man.

434
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.400
I was like, I didn't see anything run away from there,

435
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.160
but I've seen it like pushed back and forth. But

436
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:58.839
I've been watching Bigfoot since Finding Bigfoot started, all the

437
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.720
way to its advance into the last show where they

438
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:07.559
have doctors and you know, scientists and one military doing

439
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.640
the research, and they zeroed in on him at the

440
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:15.400
last episode where they caught some fresh pickfoots like minutes

441
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.319
later after he disappeared, you know, and then after that

442
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.960
the government told him they need to evacuate because the

443
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.799
forest fire is getting too close to them, you know.

444
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.480
But I think, based on my researches and not seeing

445
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.200
that Bigfoot slam it, they have the ability to like

446
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.799
they're like brought that with them to be invisible, you know,

447
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.720
like not being seen. And what happens is sometimes I

448
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:49.039
think they accidentally that whatever. They have malfunctions, like temporarily,

449
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.599
and they think they're not being seen, but we as

450
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.359
humans see them and we drop black and dead, you know,

451
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:55.799
like' and they're.

452
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.839
Looking at us. What the fuck do they see me?

453
00:25:57.880 --> 00:25:58.759
You know? They seeing me?

454
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:00.759
And then they realize they've been So they try to

455
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.799
scare you off because they don't want you disappearing because

456
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.559
that draw attention to investigating.

457
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.680
The crime, you know.

458
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.599
So another thought I'm thinking is they try to scare

459
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.960
off people that go places where they don't want them

460
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.319
to because that probably they're landing and pickups on and

461
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.640
they're expecting some kind of activity that's coming in to

462
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.119
trade them off or something. Maybe they're all out of

463
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.440
space military people or something, or people that being sentenced

464
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.279
to prison and then sent down to Earth as punishment

465
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.160
with limited powers. So you can't rule any of these

466
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.640
things up because when they try to scare you off

467
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.799
at the lowest level first, but a lot of your

468
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.319
stories you heard, they don't respond to the lower ones,

469
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.599
and then the pick pot takes a second attempt to

470
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.279
make it a little bit scarier and scarier, and then

471
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.440
they don't want it to reach to the point where

472
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.480
you have to disappear. But I think sometimes we unknowingly

473
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:00.319
get them to that part and then we just some

474
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:05.319
of us are Spanish and no one knows how we disappeared.

475
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:10.680
Have you watched Dave Polaidi's stuff yet? I might have,

476
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:16.440
but like one, I've seen some of that. But yeah,

477
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.359
you should check out his stuff is you would probably

478
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.599
like it. But yeah, De Cooin is down there by

479
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.599
Murphy'sboro right coin Illinois.

480
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.440
It's south south of Illinois straight out.

481
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.440
Yeah, I mean you get south of where you were at,

482
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.759
like Murphysboro and Shawnee National Forest. I mean, those are

483
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.039
those are big for hotspots down there, dude.

484
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:39.319
I think that's where a story in that the lake

485
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.359
where there was a monster in there, I think that

486
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.880
happened out there in one of them.

487
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.720
The town's over there, Yeah, there's the Murphy's Borough mud

488
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.880
monster is a pretty famous, uh sighting.

489
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.759
That's just.

490
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.759
Very very wild stuff. Well, hey man, thank you so

491

528
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:24.839
We can talk about your encounter. Was able to talk

529
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.599
to so many people last year and the year before.

530
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.359
It is an incredible time. You're not going to want

531
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.640
to miss it, and I'll see you there. Before we

532
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:38.160
wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to

533
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.559
a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military,

534
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.359
any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that

535
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.240
no one can explain, or if you're a National Park

536
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:51.839
ranger or forestryt worker who's been told to stay quiet,

537
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.519
if you're a pilot who's seen something strange, down on

538
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.920
the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency,

539
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.319
or working intelligen and you stumbled upon something you're not

540
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:05.640
allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic,

541
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:09.079
or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found

542
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.079
tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging

543
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.960
industry on a remote oil field or a trucker with

544
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.920
government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never

545
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.880
told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

546
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:27.440
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

547
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:31.200
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

548
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.480
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

549
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:36.960
that shook your faith, or if you work in the

550
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.519
shadows CIA, NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen

551
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.319
what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you,

552
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:51.200
even if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot

553
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:54.440
Society at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear

554
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:59.359
what you've been forced to carry alone. And you're not alone.

555
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:04.720
You've got story, We've got the mic. See you in

556
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:07.279
the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode. Of

559
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.960
and that the truth is often hiding just beyond the

560
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:19.240
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
