00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.119
You're listening to Bigla Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.880
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.879
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.439
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.159
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.200
So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.320
as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.840
about his medical journey, please go to the carring Bridge

13
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.920
link in the show notes. Thank you. You've got the

14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.159
privilege of talking to ar La Collette Williams tonight. She's

15
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.600
an individual that has known Bigfoot for the last seventy years.

16
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.039
She's got a lot to share about that time that

17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.400
she's been one that has known Bigfoot, and I'm excited

18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.120
to talk to you today. Arla, your name has come

19
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.000
up in a few conversations, but it's great to finally

20
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.560
be able to get you on the phone, and how

21
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.400
are you doing tonight.

22
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.120
I'm doing good. I love to talk about my life.

23
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:27.079
And you know, I came into this several years ago.

24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.519
I got dropped down into the research community and I

25
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.439
just started sharing. I'm not a researcher at all. I

26
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.719
don't research. I've you know, known him or almost all

27
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.719
my life, so I don't research. I do document, you know,

28
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:53.200
some things, but I don't need to research to prove anything. Actually,

29
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.040
I'm not about proving anything anyway. I just share my experiences.

30
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.959
That's awesome. And you're from the great state of Oklahoma, correct,

31
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.840
I am very cool, very cool. I bet you that

32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.800
lends itself to some really interesting interactions dound there. But Arla,

33
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.479
how far back do we want to go? Do we

34
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.879
want to go all the way back to the beginning

35
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.479
of when when you think you had your your first

36
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.319
interaction you said, it's it's maybe a little hard to remember,

37
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.680
but your your mom has told you about that that

38
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.400
time period.

39
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.039
Yeah, Well, I had my first What I remember as

40
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.439
an experience was I was sick, and I was at

41
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.719
my grandmother's and I was outside sitting on the ground

42
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.400
playing in the dirt with sticks and flowers and rocks,

43
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.159
and I love to do that. And so I was

44
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.960
sitting there playing and I heard some one walk up

45
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.479
and I thought it was my grandmother. And when I

46
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:10.879
looked up, it wasn't my grandmother. It was what I've

47
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.280
come to call a hairy kid, which was a young

48
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.759
juvenile male, and he probably, you know, I just have

49
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.879
to guess it how far, but I know he wasn't

50
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.199
very far from me, maybe ten or fifteen feet, you know,

51
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.439
from me. We looked at each other for a little while,

52
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:39.400
you know, and I think that's a hairy kid, because

53
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.639
that was my only reference that what this was. I

54
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:51.960
knew that, you know, he looked kind of human, but

55
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.319
that was in my mind. So after a little while,

56
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.840
he turned around and walked back off into the wood,

57
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.080
and I jumped up and went in and told my

58
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:11.000
grandmother what i'd seen, and she said, you know, I

59
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.639
asked her, I said, what was that, Granny? And she said,

60
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.959
what do you think it was? And so she let

61
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.720
me think about it for a little while, and then

62
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.959
she started to teach me about them because she knew

63
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:33.319
also and had known her whole life as well. The

64
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.360
actual encounter that I was talking about, I was free,

65
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.839
and I was sitting on the bed in my mom

66
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:49.040
and dad's bedroom and the back window was open, and

67
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.680
my dad was taking a bath. Mom was in the

68
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.759
closet getting clothes ready for the next day, and she

69
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:02.639
heard me talking to someone, and so she came out

70
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.000
of the closet and she looked at the window and

71
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:11.240
she screamed for my dad and she said, Arla's talking

72
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.839
to a dirty, hairy man. Well, Mom and I were

73
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:25.879
talking several years ago, and she asked me, she said, Arlet,

74
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.319
do you remember that time, and she went through the

75
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.120
story and I said, yes, Mom, I do, because I remember,

76
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.519
you know, you screaming, and I remember Dad coming out

77
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.000
of the bathroom and he went to the kitchen and

78
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120
he got a butcher knife and ran out the door.

79
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.399
And she looked at me and she said, do you

80
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.199
think that was a bigfoot? And I said, well, Mom,

81
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:03.360
what do you think? And she said I saw bigfoot?

82
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.439
And I said, yes, Mom, I think you did, so

83
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.680
that you know at that time, at three, I talked

84
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.040
to everything. It's just always been what I've done ever

85
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.399
since I was little. I started running off to the woods.

86
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.920
When I could walk really good and get away. I

87
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.600
would just take off and so it you know, at three,

88
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.079
of course I didn't have it in my mind what

89
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:45.920
a bigfoot would be. But at six I knew that,

90
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.240
you know, this was a hairy kid, and I'd never

91
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.360
seen a hairy kid before like this. And then of

92
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.920
course my grandmothers then a little later, began to teach

93
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.040
me about them.

94
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.319
Oh, that's that's fascinating. What area of Oklahoma.

95
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:14.160
Was this in? It is? Well, it was about probably

96
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:20.160
forty five miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma, which would be kind

97
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.399
of in the eastern part of the state. I live

98
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.399
in the southeastern part of the state now, but that

99
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:35.399
was it's probably where that happened, maybe fifty miles as

100
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.279
the crow flies from where I live now.

101
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:44.560
Is that a Would that be in a certain county?

102
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.560
Yeah, it would be in Okmoggie County.

103
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.160
Actually interesting, I think it's it's incredibly interesting how your

104
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.000
grandmother seems to be really, really familiar with the bigfoot,

105
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:08.000
but yet your mom like that's her introduction to them.

106
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.040
Yeah. Well, my mom was afraid of everything when she

107
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:20.279
was lit. She just you know, as to whether my

108
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.480
grandmother would have ever taught me about them, you know,

109
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.040
like she did if I hadn't had that encounter. I

110
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:35.639
don't know if she would or not. After that, of course,

111
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.679
it opened my whole world to them. One of the

112
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:45.440
things we didn't do when I was young and growing

113
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.960
up fan For many years, we didn't talk about them

114
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.240
in public or I mean, we might have friends or

115
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:59.200
something that we would talk with, but we just didn't

116
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.440
talk about talk about them at all.

117
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.480
Why do you think that that was that they weren't

118
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:08.200
talked about.

119
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.600
Well, I'm sure there were probably a lot of reasons,

120
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.840
part of that being people would think you're crazy, but

121
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:24.200
it was more than that. You know, you had a

122
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.919
lot of people that just you just didn't talk about it.

123
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:35.679
They were special and not everybody saw them. And so,

124
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.840
you know, it's only been probably i would say, in

125
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:47.559
the last ten years, maybe fifteen, this whole topic has exploded,

126
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:55.840
and before that you just you just didn't hear much

127
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.080
about it, other than maybe in a magazine or you

128
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.639
know whatever. Of course, the Patterson Gimlin film that was

129
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:11.320
in sixty seven it opened up talk about it, but

130
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.519
we still didn't, you know, talk openly about it.

131
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:25.080
You mentioned that your grandmother taught you a lot of

132
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.960
things regarding this topic. Do you remember any things that

133
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.159
she taught you that really stand out in your mind

134
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.840
after all these years.

135
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:42.000
Everything she taught me was important. One of the things

136
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:47.879
that she said is they are are neighbors, and as

137
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:53.480
our neighbors, we are to be respectful. And you know,

138
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.559
she'd say, you know, sometimes you see your neighbors and

139
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.399
sometimes you don't, and sometimes times you'd talk to your

140
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:08.639
neighbors and sometimes you don't. So she taught me respect.

141
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:14.960
But she taught me respect of everything. Everything in the woods.

142
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:21.960
I was never taught to fear anything, regardless of what

143
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.159
it was. You know, from the time I was little,

144
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.799
I saw things and did things, and I was never

145
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.320
told I couldn't do those things or I couldn't say

146
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.360
those things. I could say anything to her, and if

147
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.320
I needed to talk about it, I get to ask

148
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:51.080
her about it. So you know, that basis there was

149
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:56.000
important because she always also said, they're like us in

150
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:02.240
ways and they're not like us in ways, and so

151
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.879
you know, that foundation of respect of them was laid

152
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:15.919
very early in my life. So that was just that

153
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.679
was how it was.

154
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.639
After the interaction at age six, did you regularly have

155
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:32.120
interactions after that or was there a period of time

156
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.120
where maybe a few years and then you had something

157
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.759
happen again.

158
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:45.080
Well, they were always around, whether or not there was

159
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:50.919
any kind of interaction. It just happened when it happened,

160
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:57.559
and I didn't go out to find them. In other words,

161
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.720
I didn't set out and say I'm going to go

162
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.039
out and find them, because I was taught that was

163
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:09.960
disrespectful as well. But I was in the woods all

164
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.240
the time, so if they were around, I may know

165
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.639
that they were around, and I may not. It just

166
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:23.279
it goes back to that there are neighbors, you know,

167
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.840
and your neighbors. If you have neighbors and they're busy

168
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.600
doing something, you're not going to go bother your neighbors.

169
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.720
It's just, you know how I was taught. Now, through

170
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.879
the years, I did see them from time to time.

171
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.799
There was a period of time when I was raising

172
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:52.919
my children and going through that part of my life,

173
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.639
I would see them from time to time. We hiked

174
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.519
a lot with the kids, and camped a lot and

175
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.120
did those kinds of things. Now, I never taught my

176
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.679
children when they were young about them because there was

177
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:17.399
no reason for me to do that, and so it

178
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:23.480
just didn't happened. If one of them would have had

179
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:32.480
an experience, then I would have taught them about them,

180
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:38.960
but it was it wasn't necessary at that time for

181
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.200
me to do that at all.

182
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.000
A question I usually ask people that I talked to,

183
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.919
what do you feel that the Bigfoot actually is?

184
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:59.080
Well, they were here before we were, and they came

185
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:05.840
here from someplace else, and so they are flesh and

186
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.639
blood as sure as we are flesh and blood. But

187
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:16.240
they also can do things. You know, people talk all

188
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.120
the time about now you see them and now you don't.

189
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.399
How did that happen? You know? So they have those abilities.

190
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.879
I believe we have those abilities, but we walked away

191
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.480
from those at some point. Many people still hold those abilities.

192
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:46.000
I've seen elders do things that a lot of people

193
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.159
say can't be done. One of the stories I tell

194
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.679
is when I was a teenager, there was an in

195
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.720
demand that lived in the town that I grew up in.

196
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.039
He never had had a car and he lived way

197
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.480
out in the country, so he always walked. He'd seem

198
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.399
walking downtown and if he was going home, he would

199
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.000
be walking down towards the end of town and go

200
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.440
out in the country. Well, one day after school, some

201
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:24.279
kids and I were dragged Maine, and he was down

202
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.600
at the end and was turning to go towards his home.

203
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.120
And I said to the kids, I said, I'm going

204
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.440
to stop and pick him up. And they started, no, no,

205
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.480
he's got medicine. You can't do that. No, no. And

206
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:44.360
what that meant was that there were things he did

207
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.879
that they didn't consider something that they wanted to be

208
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.120
a part of. And actually they were definitely afraid. But

209
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.840
I said, okay. But I drove past him and went

210
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:05.240
on the road out to his house. And that old

211
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.559
road you had to drive in the middle of it.

212
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:13.319
I mean, this was a long time ago, and it

213
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.039
was several miles out to where he lived. I drove

214
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.000
in the middle of the road all the way out there.

215
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:25.799
No car passed me from behind, no car met me,

216
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.359
and we drove all the way out. When we got

217
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:38.000
to his house, he was walking up on the porch. Now,

218
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:44.279
how did he do that? He remembered how to do

219
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:51.440
those things. One of our grandmothers of the International Council

220
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.839
of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, who are grandmothers from around the

221
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.480
world who had made a difference, we were at a

222
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:05.720
gather and there was a very very bad storm coming

223
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:13.799
and it was headed right towards us. And she walked

224
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:20.160
out and she put her hands up and she said

225
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.039
some things. We weren't close enough to hear her. But

226
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:30.119
when she put her hands up, that cloud moved, and

227
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:35.799
there were several of us saw that cloud move and

228
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:42.519
change its direction. Now, how did she do that? She

229
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:50.160
remembered the connection. So you know, people nowadays you hear

230
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:54.559
of all kinds of things that people are doing that.

231
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.279
So many have said, you know, you can't do those things,

232
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.960
but you can do them if you remember the connection.

233
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.359
So you actually you saw that individual have that connection

234
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.960
with the cloud in person.

235
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.799
Yes, I did. I wasn't the only one there either.

236
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.119
Do you have Native American heritage?

237
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:31.799
I have Cherokee blood? My grandmother told me from the

238
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.839
time I was little enough to understand that I carried

239
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.799
Cherokee blood, but I carry a lot of other blood

240
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:46.519
as well. And what she told me was, if I

241
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:52.759
dishonor any blood, then I've dishonored all the blood that

242
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.359
I carried. I don't have a CDIB, so I'm not

243
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:03.279
a registered tribal member and I wasn't taught by her

244
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:08.519
in the Cherokee way. I was taught by her own

245
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:14.559
experiences of a photo. Several people have seen it. It's

246
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.680
my grandmother. She couldn't remember exactly what year it was.

247
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.640
She was giving me some photos, probably a couple of

248
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:31.000
years before she died, and we were looking through them,

249
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:35.799
and there was this one photo that she was all

250
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:45.440
stretched out walking and it's the Bigfoot walk and I

251
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.519
think we figured it's somewhere early fifties. I don't know

252
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.759
for sure, but I said, Gran, what were you doing?

253
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.480
And she said, I was doing the walk. And that's

254
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:03.640
what that picture is is of her demonstrating how the

255
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.920
big Foot walk and she has this grin on her face.

256
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:15.000
So and my grandfather, I think she said, took that photo.

257
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.319
So it wasn't a photo I ever saw in my

258
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:24.920
whole life. And I was always going through her photos

259
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.640
and when some of us kids would get together, we'd

260
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.160
get the picture box out and go through all the

261
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:38.160
old photos. But I never saw it until that couple

262
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.079
of years before she passed when she was giving me

263
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.599
some photos. So I don't know where she had it.

264
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.400
I didn't ask her. I didn't think to ask her,

265
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.119
you know, where she had had that.

266
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.720
But so when you say that she's doing the bigfoot

267
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.920
walk in the photo. Can you kind of describe what

268
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:00.440
she was doing?

269
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.039
Well, she's got that one arm stretch to the front.

270
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:10.240
The others gone back in her faith and were a

271
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.640
long way apart. You could definitely tell what it is

272
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.160
when you look at it. So if that was in

273
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:23.839
the early fifties, the Patterson Gimlin hadn't even been filmed yet,

274
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:30.559
Jerry Cruz, that whole thing right, which was fifteen Yeah,

275
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.880
hadn't happened yet, and yet she knew.

276
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:43.480
That's fascinating. You mentioned something where it's almost like people

277
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:48.640
forget their connections to things, and some people have still

278
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.200
have those connections. And I've talked to a lot of

279
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:54.599
people over the last five years, and I had some

280
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.960
really interesting things happen in Oregon. But do you think

281
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:02.039
there's there's kind of a theory that I have where

282
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.200
I don't know if it's it's crazy or not, but

283
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:09.200
being in close proximity or being around the same area

284
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.960
that these big foot are could help people remember or

285
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.599
unlock certain things I do. Do you know what I mean?

286
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.640
Does it sound kind of weird or no?

287
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:29.039
Not my life it's weird. It's interesting with them and

288
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.519
you know, through the years, I've talked to a lot

289
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:36.039
of indigenous people from around the world, not just Native

290
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:42.359
Americans here, but other elders as well, and a lot

291
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.160
of them have talked about, you know, about this are

292
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.200
walking away from it. In the case of the thirteen

293
00:23:53.599 --> 00:24:00.039
Indigenous grandmothers, they did many things that you know, I

294
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.400
is able to witness hundreds of people witness not just

295
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:11.200
me that you know, you go, wow, that happened. That

296
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:21.160
happen and it's just amazing that connecting back into those things.

297
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:27.680
And it's as simple as shifting your paradigm, opening your

298
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:32.240
mind and shift that paradigm, that belief system that you have,

299
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:39.400
and then open your heart, and it's amazing what all

300
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.799
comes to you. It's one of the easiest things in

301
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:51.960
the world to have an encounter. And you know, people

302
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.039
tell me all the time, I've been trying for years,

303
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.960
you know, and it's like, what are you doing, you know,

304
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:06.079
what are you doing to try to have this encounter?

305
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.920
And you know, they are, well, I'm going out in

306
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.480
the woods and I'm looking, and I'm knocking on trees,

307
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:17.319
and I'm doing food and I'm doing all this stuff.

308
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.960
And if that's what you want and if that's the

309
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.240
interaction that you want, that's fine. But if you want

310
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.960
to know more, you know, And I don't know how

311
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.160
many people through the years that I've talked with who

312
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:43.039
then shifted their paradigm went at this a totally different

313
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:50.880
way and had an encounter. I was been working with

314
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.839
a couple of people, just helping them. I don't tell

315
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.279
people what they have to do. We just talk and

316
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:03.440
I listen to you know, what they're saying and how

317
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:09.440
they're seeing it, and so they'll begin to grasp that.

318
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:18.440
You know, this is as simple as going in anywhere,

319
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.880
whether you're going into the woods or whatever, and you're

320
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:30.680
being very respectful, you've opened that heart, you've shifted your paradigm,

321
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:38.799
and you just beat go have fun. Don't go thinking

322
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.160
I'm going to go out there and I'm going to

323
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:46.839
see something. Go be in the woods and enjoy yourself

324
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.599
and love it and become a part of that. And

325
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.200
people all the time have those encounters. It's you know,

326
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.440
I talked to people all the time who've had an encounter.

327
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.960
They had been trying for years to have an encounter

328
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:14.000
or to have anything, and it just wasn't happening for them.

329
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.079
And when they changed their approach, things began to happen.

330
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:26.720
Maybe in the beginning, all they heard were whoops, or

331
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:33.519
maybe they heard what sounds like knocking on trees. Maybe

332
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.720
they saw a structure that looked strange to them, like

333
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.519
it couldn't have been naturally formed, or they saw footprints.

334
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:51.519
All of these things are part of that beginning understanding

335
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.680
for a lot of people. But you take it one

336
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:02.400
step more. You're there, and I always tell people if

337
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:08.119
you feel uncomfortable, if you feel like you're being watched,

338
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:14.039
or you just have that feeling like maybe I shouldn't

339
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:19.480
be here, that you start talking. Tell them who you are,

340
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:24.519
and I do it out loud. You know, whether you

341
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:29.480
see them or not, just start talking. Tell them who

342
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:36.440
you are, tell them why you're there. And talking to

343
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:42.079
them like that, whether you see them or not, puts

344
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:47.440
in your mind that this is a being that understands you,

345
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:55.480
and they do understand you. And so now you're trying

346
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.440
to get to know someone that you'd like to know,

347
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:05.440
and it's respectful to introduce yourself and why are you there?

348
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.279
And I also tell them if you can't get past

349
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:16.880
your fear or your uneasiness at that point, it's very simple.

350
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.400
Turn around and just leave. Don't push well, because that

351
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:27.279
fear is going to block everything, or you're going to

352
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:33.599
have an encounter that you feel is a fearful encounter.

353
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.119
So it is that simple. And I've seen it happen

354
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:46.480
so many times in my life in this bigfoot world

355
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.319
of people, that those things do happen.

356
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.960
That's very, very good advice. I've actually talked to more

357
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.599
than a few people lately where they have done that verbally,

358
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:06.559
out loud communication. And then an interesting thing that's common

359
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.079
between all of them is that usually right after they'll

360
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.160
say something, there'll be something that will happen in the

361
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.640
physical world as a response. Yeah, is that something you've

362
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.400
experienced as well?

363
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:24.119
Yeah, And you know I tell people too, don't negate

364
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:30.160
something that happens that you're not sure about. Don't just

365
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.799
negate it and talk it away, because that's a very

366
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:39.400
easy thing to talk it away. No I didn't hear that,

367
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:44.319
or no I didn't see that, and just let it

368
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:50.319
be what it was and just continue, you know, doing

369
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:55.240
what you're doing. I know I've spoke at conferences over

370
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:59.400
the last several years across the United States and into

371
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.920
British Colt, Columbia. And one of the things that I

372
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.039
always tell people when I'm speaking, the first thing is

373
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.920
you don't have to believe the thing I'm going to say.

374
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:16.359
I'm not trying to prove anything to you. I'm going

375
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:21.759
to share my experiences. The one thing that I do

376
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.000
ask of you is don't just throw it out. If

377
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.240
I say things that you think that there's no way

378
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:32.519
it can be that way, don't throw it out. Just

379
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.599
file it away somewhere and then if you have something happened,

380
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.200
or maybe you have a friend that you trust has

381
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.720
something happen, then you've got something to go back and

382
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:52.680
look at. So it you know, we tend to want

383
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.960
to well, I don't believe that, so you know, I'm

384
00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:59.160
not going to think about it anymore.

385
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.160
That's really interesting. Do you feel that you're actively communicating

386
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.920
with any bigfoot in recent years?

387
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.880
Oh? Yeah. In my one book, My Life with the

388
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:21.400
Harry People, it chronicles several years of my being a

389
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:28.519
part of their lives. And it's interesting because I've always

390
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:34.000
known of what people call the paranormal aspect of them.

391
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.880
I've always known that about them. That was just part

392
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.440
of it, part of my teaching, part of my understandings

393
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:46.400
and part of my experiences. So I don't have a

394
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:55.000
problem with that part that a lot of my experience

395
00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:00.759
has been in the flesh and blood communication and interaction.

396
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.200
I don't know. I'm sure you probably do know Rick Taylor.

397
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.759
Do you know that name? The man that had the

398
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.480
experience with seeing the family.

399
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.279
I have never talked to him, but I have heard

400
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.799
of his story, which is really incredible. I'm the arla

401
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:21.599
he was with exactly.

402
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:28.359
So yeah, and I've had a lot of other people

403
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:35.960
who have seen them and very well seeing them. That

404
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.640
doesn't mean that I had anything to do with that,

405
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.559
because I'm not in charge of who they show themselves

406
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.279
to or not. They choose to do that, and I

407
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:56.279
would never ask them to show themselves to anybody. I

408
00:33:56.359 --> 00:34:00.680
just would not do it. That would be disrespect for me,

409
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:05.519
and it was, you know, part of my teachings as well.

410
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.800
They do as they choose. And I know I have

411
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:13.800
people ask me all the time, well will you show

412
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:20.239
me the Bigfoot? I'm sorry, I can't. I'm not going

413
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:25.320
to ask them to do anything. You know. I hear

414
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.800
people say, well I'll go out and call them up

415
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:32.519
or whatever. Oh no, that's I'm not going to do that.

416
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:38.079
They're going to choose what it is they want to do.

417
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:44.840
Al Caller is what I call him, is the bigfoot

418
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.000
in the Rick Taylor story that did the al call.

419
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:56.639
He's interacted with a couple of other people through the years.

420
00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:02.400
It wasn't anything I expected at all, but that was

421
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:08.519
his choice to do. Blue is one of the family.

422
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:13.880
He's a young or an older juvenile male. Now, I

423
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.079
had a friend here who was staying with me. My

424
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:23.199
dog was really sick, and we were sitting outside and

425
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.079
I heard the hairy kids is what I call them.

426
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.239
They were moving around. I could you know, you could

427
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.280
hear them, and then all of a sudden, we got

428
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:42.480
this horrible older Oh my gosh, it was awful. And

429
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:49.719
I looked off out towards where I heard the noise

430
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:57.119
and stuff going on, and there was Blue, and we said,

431
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:00.719
you know, oh, that's a awful stop it. Well, that

432
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:06.199
odor went immediately away, and we'd go back to talking,

433
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.920
and then he would do it again and we were like,

434
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.639
stop it, that's horrible, and then he'd stop, and then

435
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.360
later on he would do it again. There's other people

436
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:27.599
who have experienced Blue as well. I have a photo blue.

437
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:32.639
There were five of us who were just hiking and

438
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:37.639
we all saw him and one of the girls said,

439
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:43.000
I'm going to take a picture, and he knew exactly

440
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.639
what we were doing. He didn't get up and leave.

441
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:50.320
He just sat there and watched us. He was there's

442
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:56.159
on the ridge in that area. There are these old

443
00:36:56.360 --> 00:37:00.119
places where it's kind of a drop off, and and

444
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:04.519
get back on the down side of that and stick,

445
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.159
you know, a big part of your body over that

446
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:12.440
and still, you know, dug down in a hurry, you know,

447
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:17.239
if you want to. So you know, I'm not the

448
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:21.360
only one that's seen down. Do I see them more

449
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:26.039
than other people will? Yes, But like I said, I

450
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:31.960
don't go looking for them either. If they're there, they are,

451
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:34.519
and if they're not, well, they aren't.

452
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.519
When you are talking to them verbally, do they ever

453
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.239
talk back to you in a way that you can hear?

454
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:49.519
I actually have audio. I have one audio that was

455
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:54.400
taken a long time. There was a male, young male

456
00:37:54.800 --> 00:38:02.280
that was around and he was like a bulldozer when

457
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.559
he would come through the woods. He didn't try to

458
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:09.760
be quiet at all. And so once July it was hot,

459
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.119
I went off hiking and got back in the woods

460
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:21.960
and setting there and I harding coming and I thought,

461
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.360
I'm just going to ask him who he is, so

462
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.840
out loud, I said, who are you? What's your name?

463
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:36.559
And he said through telepathy through Jestna, and I said

464
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:42.280
it again and he said it again through Justna. Well,

465
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.119
I didn't want to forget that, so I put it

466
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.920
on my phone. And in October of the same year,

467
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:57.280
I had been recording and I kicked back in my

468
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.639
recliner and got my coffee and I'm listening to my

469
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:09.000
recorder and I hear this boy say Rugsna. And I

470
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.119
was like, oh, I know that tame, I know that name.

471
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:18.760
And I listened to the video. I mean, it's on

472
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:24.360
Facebook that a girlfriend of mine did a video or

473
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.079
put it all together for me with that audio and

474
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:36.360
marked where they're talking. And he says Rugusina, and then

475
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:42.119
after a biddy says, approach slowly and if you're thinking

476
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:48.679
about Regusina, he never went anywhere quietly or slowly, And

477
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:51.320
then there are other things on it, and then at

478
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:55.360
the end of it he says, we're going and that's

479
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:03.719
the end of it now too, through Jesna telling me

480
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:08.519
his name. I was in the Woods, spending the night

481
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:14.559
my tent, and I am laying there and I here

482
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:20.599
walking up and I just greet them. If I'm out

483
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.360
wherever I'm at, in any part of the United States

484
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.239
or Canada, wherever I always you say hi guys. And

485
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:33.760
so I heard him and I just said hi, guys,

486
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:41.000
and he did the funniest hell that sounded like he

487
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:48.800
was saying hello. And I laughed at him. And there

488
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:53.559
was someone who heard that, and they asked me, could

489
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.000
they do that spectral analysis of it? And I said,

490
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:03.199
I don't care if you want to, And so it

491
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:09.280
came back within that range that people have assigned to

492
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:16.280
Bigfoot on the analysis. You know, at the spectral analysis

493
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:20.480
really didn't matter to me. I knew who did it, so,

494
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:26.840
but it was just interesting to see that and where

495
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.480
that was. You know, I've got other videos to and

496
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:36.239
audios of them playing with the kyotes and you can

497
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:40.559
hear them in the mix, and one of them, Indigo,

498
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.360
who is a young male now who I've interacted with

499
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.719
the most. The coyotes are going crazy and then you

500
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.360
can hear them mixed in a little bit, and then

501
00:41:54.400 --> 00:42:02.239
you hear this in silence. So you know, through the

502
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:07.760
years I audioed a lot. I rarely do that anymore.

503
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:18.079
I just don't. But it's a physical part of my life.

504
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:23.159
But more than that, because that paranormal for me is normal.

505
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.719
It's not, you know, just something that people say that

506
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:33.559
this is outside the normal. For me, it's normal.

507
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:41.400
That's absolutely fascinating. I would say for most people that

508
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:45.800
are going out into the field and trying to have

509
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:51.239
some sort of interaction, their goal is probably to be

510
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:55.239
able to prove that Bigfoot is a real creature. It

511
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:59.360
sounds like this is not your probably goal with this

512
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.480
at all. What did you say your goal is through

513
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:05.800
all this interaction that you have with bigfoot?

514
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:13.119
Why I came into this in twenty ten. I was

515
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:19.440
introduced to the world of bigfoot research through some people

516
00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:24.559
that I had met. I thought they were teasing me

517
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:28.199
when they said, oh, yeah, there are people out there

518
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.320
research and trying to prove them and I'm like, why

519
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:35.800
are they doing that? And you know, it was still like, yeah,

520
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.960
you guys are you guys are teasing me? There's no

521
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:43.960
bigfoot research world. Well I found out very quickly that

522
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:50.800
there was, and I had met someone they had a podcast.

523
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:55.400
They asked me, would you come on the podcast and talk. Well,

524
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:59.880
all I knew to do was to share my experiences,

525
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.840
to tell the truth, and for the most part at

526
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:08.000
that time, that didn't go over very well, but that

527
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:13.000
was okay, you know. So I came into this to

528
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:20.599
help people, to help those who had an encounter that

529
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:27.920
they didn't understand, that they thought was something evil or whatever.

530
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.920
I also gave a lot of people a safe space

531
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:38.360
to talk and to share. It became known that, you know,

532
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:41.039
I could be trusted, you could come and talk to

533
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:45.639
me about anything, and I wouldn't, you know, tell anybody.

534
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:50.440
And I'd never made fun of anybody, no matter what

535
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:56.800
their experiences were. And so I just I wanted to

536
00:44:56.880 --> 00:45:04.480
help people understand that these are not the evil beings

537
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:10.360
that so many people paint them as. And so all

538
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:15.119
I knew to do was to share my experiences, and

539
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.320
I shared the paranormal right along with their anything else.

540
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:28.320
And I actually attained the title of the Immaculate Mother

541
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:37.920
of who very early on me was funny. I mean,

542
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:43.280
it didn't bother me. And I'm not disrespectful to anyone,

543
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.480
no matter what they say to me or about me,

544
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:51.440
or you know, anything else. It's purely their perception of

545
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:56.079
who they think I am. So through the years, you know,

546
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:01.360
I dealt with a lot of that stop me from talking.

547
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:06.920
It didn't stop me from Sharon, and you know, I

548
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:12.239
still haven't stopped I guess so. But I wanted, I

549
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:17.440
really wanted to help people to get past their fear

550
00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:22.559
and to understand this on a totally different level.

551
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:27.599
What was it that people were experiencing that they thought

552
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.239
that these that these bigfoot were something evil.

553
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:36.800
Well, okay, I'll I have another looking story that I

554
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:42.559
use as illustration. I was at a camp out down

555
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:47.719
into commishy mountains and there were people there from a

556
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:51.119
lot of different places. There was a young man who

557
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.320
had just gotten out of the military actually, and he

558
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:59.679
grew up in Washington State, but hadn't you know, been

559
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:03.000
there in quite a while. And we were talking during

560
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:08.199
the day and he told me he didn't know what

561
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:14.559
they were, and he was a little afraid, you know,

562
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:20.000
of them, because he didn't know, you know, what they were.

563
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:22.679
And I talked to him, and you know, but he

564
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:28.480
still had that huge fear. Yet he wanted to know too,

565
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:33.440
you know, he wanted to have an encounter. Well, that

566
00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:37.320
night we were sitting around the fire, is about midnight,

567
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.920
and as I often do, I got up from the

568
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.800
fire and went to go walking. And when I got

569
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:48.800
up and walked over to the little about a one

570
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:53.880
lane road back into the mountains, he said, Miss Harlae,

571
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.719
can I go with you? And I said, sure, come on. Well,

572
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.519
we're walking down the road, you know, and we're talking

573
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:08.000
and then we hear heavy bipedal footsteps and they're coming

574
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:12.599
towards us. Now, you know, the sides of the road

575
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:18.360
are cedars and pines, and so it's really thick to

576
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:22.159
try to see in anywhere. And we're walking in the

577
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:26.960
dark too, because I don't normally carry a flashlight. If

578
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.280
I'm especially if I'm on a road that I'm not

579
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:33.320
familiar with, I usually stay on the road and don't

580
00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:39.000
vnch your off. But we heard the heavy bipedal footsteps

581
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:43.280
coming towards us, and they were getting closer and closer,

582
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:48.519
and they got up parallel to us inside the brush

583
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:56.599
and stopped, and he grabbed my arm and he said

584
00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:01.840
are you afraid? And I said no, I'm not afraid.

585
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:05.559
I said are you afraid? And he grabbed me with

586
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:11.400
his other arm and literally pulled me to him and said, yes,

587
00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:13.559
I don't know what he's going to do to me,

588
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:18.280
And so I tried to talk to him and getting

589
00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:21.440
calmed down, but I couldn't, so I said, let's just

590
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:25.199
go back to the fire. So we walked back to

591
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.960
the fire. Now, if you took a report on that,

592
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:34.519
my report would have been got up from the fire,

593
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:40.159
walked down the road, heard heavy bipedal footsteps coming towards

594
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:45.039
us as they stopped right inside the tree line and brushed.

595
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:48.719
His would have been he got up from the fire,

596
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:53.599
went walking down the road, and then you know, he

597
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.360
was afraid. He was afraid it was going to hurt him.

598
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:58.239
He didn't know what it was going to do to

599
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:06.599
him too. Totally different reports on this the very same encounter.

600
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.159
But he had already said during the day he was

601
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:17.800
afraid of them because he didn't know what they were

602
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:23.360
or what they would do. So that was the encounter

603
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:30.239
he had because he didn't know their nature and he

604
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:36.079
carried that fear. And that's what happens when people have

605
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:41.559
a lot of these encounters that they think are bad.

606
00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:47.280
It's because you misunderstand their nature. They are big, they

607
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.079
are hairy, and they are loud, and you can literally

608
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:58.199
feel their energy from them. If they're very close to you.

609
00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:04.639
What does that mean when you say you can literally

610
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:06.920
feel their energy from them?

611
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:15.400
You can feel it. It's sometimes it's just a tangle.

612
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:21.119
Sometimes it's like shields, you know, or goose bumps or whatever.

613
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.360
You know. People call it. That's not a bad thing,

614
00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:30.719
that's just energy. But people don't understand it, and so

615
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:34.960
they automatically think, well, that's a bad thing. I shouldn't

616
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:40.440
be feeling like this, I shouldn't be here, And that's

617
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:42.320
not usually the case.

618
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:47.800
Have you ever experienced along in that same category where

619
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.840
a person was unable to move for a certain period

620
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:51.320
of time.

621
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:57.599
Oh, I've seen that. Yeah, I've seen that. I've seen

622
00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:02.840
people who they call it zapping or sizzling, you know,

623
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:08.559
different terms, but they feel that that's that's an energy

624
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:13.119
thing too as well. And if you don't understand it,

625
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:16.920
you will freeze yourself. Now, I'm not going to tell

626
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:20.000
you they can't do that too, because I know they can.

627
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:25.280
But you can scare yourself enough to where you can't move.

628
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:32.760
We were at a camp out in the Willow Creek

629
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:37.800
area where the Patterson Gimlin was filmed. We were thirty

630
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:42.280
miles from the nearest town that was just a little

631
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.519
town with a ranger station and I think one little

632
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:51.320
station that had some things foods and stuff in it.

633
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:57.280
And one of the girls had jelways put her tent

634
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:00.519
out of way, which is what I usually to wait

635
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:05.840
for everybody else, and she they had been around her

636
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:13.239
tent a lot, and she had start got out and

637
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:22.360
she was just literally frozen, and she started calling Tom

638
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:28.000
for help, and of course he got up and went

639
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:34.079
out there, and there was a bear, I believe it

640
00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:39.960
was a bear very close. And so I have seen

641
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:47.280
them literally freeze people like that for protection, and that's

642
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:52.519
really hard for a lot of people, you know, to grasp.

643
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:57.679
I've had that. They've never frozen me like that, but

644
00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:04.360
they have let me know that there was something in

645
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:10.400
the area. Now, I'm not quiet in the woods. I'm

646
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:13.199
not going to scare any of the big foot people

647
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:19.599
off by me talking or singing or whatever. But if

648
00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.719
there's a bear around or anything else, they're going to

649
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:28.159
hear me long before I ever get very close to them.

650
00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:34.800
So I don't really fear anything like that. You know,

651
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:40.639
I'm careful and I'm aware of what's going on around me.

652
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:46.719
I'm responsible for myself, but I know that they do

653
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:51.480
watch out after me. And I've talked to hundreds of

654
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:53.639
people that'll tell you the same thing.

655
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:58.639
That's very interesting to know that that background for sure.

656
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.960
Have they ever communicated to you to ask you to

657
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.679
come to a certain area or location or to do

658
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:07.360
a certain thing.

659
00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:14.519
Oh yeah, yeah. Now they will let me know that

660
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:20.119
they're going to be around. And it's funny because years ago,

661
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:24.239
years ago, I was sleeping in my tent and they

662
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:27.280
like for me to sleep in my tent. I mean

663
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:30.719
a lot of stuff happens when I'm in my tent

664
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:35.719
and has over the years. And one night I'd been

665
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:39.679
told that, you know, we want you to come out

666
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:43.800
to the tent. And it doesn't mean I'm going to

667
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:46.639
walk out there and I'm gonna shake their hand and

668
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.880
sit down and talk with them. It's not like that

669
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:54.000
at all. It's just that I know they're there and

670
00:55:54.079 --> 00:56:00.000
they know I'm there. Well, something happened and I didn't

671
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:02.639
get to go sleep in my tent because I had

672
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:05.119
to walk quite a ways to get to my tent.

673
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:14.480
And the next morning on my porch was this asterisk symbol.

674
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:19.960
I had one cedar pole and then I had another

675
00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:24.199
that was a tree that I had cut the branches off,

676
00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:27.400
leaving enough out where I could prop it up and

677
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:31.159
hang things on it. And then there was I think

678
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:37.239
a walking staff that I had that were not together

679
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:41.960
at all and certainly weren't on my porch, but they

680
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:48.559
put that into an asterisk, which is it's a connection symbol.

681
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.559
And they were telling me, basically, you were out there

682
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:59.320
last night. And so when I finally did go, I

683
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:04.760
walked back to the tent that day and they had

684
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:08.559
there was an old blue tarp under my tent. They

685
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:15.280
had pulled a strand of that tarp out, a long strand,

686
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:20.599
and they had put an X, which they have used

687
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:26.000
that with me for friendship, thank you family. That type

688
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:28.920
of thing and how they use it depends on the

689
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:35.239
context of the situation. But they had decorated that X

690
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:42.159
with that long piece of tarp and they had wove

691
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:46.079
it all around that AX, and it was so pretty.

692
00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:50.239
I just started laughing when I saw it. And so

693
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:55.760
that night I did go out and spend the night

694
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:57.880
in the tent. And a lot of times it's no

695
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:02.960
more than just hearing them out there running around or

696
00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:06.960
doing things. I have had them come up to the

697
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:12.519
tent and touch me. I had a young one not

698
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:15.639
long ago come up. I sleep on a cot in

699
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:21.280
my tent and I sleep with it open. It opens

700
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:26.000
on four sides and that's how asleep. And my feet

701
00:58:26.079 --> 00:58:31.079
were by the door, and I felt this finger push

702
00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:35.039
or touch the tip of my big toe and then

703
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:40.639
put pressure on it. And I was just laying there

704
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:47.480
with my eyes closed, just being quiet. And when I

705
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:50.960
felt it, I opened my eyes and I looked up

706
00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:55.760
and all I could see was two shadowy figures that

707
00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:59.280
had figured out that I was awake, and they turned

708
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:03.679
around and food at all. So you know, it's not

709
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:11.480
like I'm going down there and we're all setting in

710
00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:16.480
a circle or whatever. They're doing whatever it is they do,

711
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.599
and I'm staying in my tent in the woods, which

712
00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:25.280
I absolutely love and do a big part of the year.

713
00:59:26.440 --> 00:59:29.400
Wow, And no fear at all during that time.

714
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:34.119
It sounds like, no, Well, I've never had a fear

715
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:38.559
of them. I was never taught to be afraid of them.

716
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:44.239
I ought to be respectful. I don't have fear of anything.

717
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:49.840
I've seen dog men before and I wasn't afraid. So

718
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:55.800
I just don't have that fear. And you know, my

719
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:01.800
grandmother I wasn't taught to fear anything. She always told me,

720
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:05.480
you know, talk to something that you don't know what

721
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:09.119
it is, find out what it is, you know. But

722
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:14.119
I was that little girl who was in her bed

723
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:19.239
at night and she heard something under her bed, or

724
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:22.159
she didn't cover her head up. She leaned over her

725
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:24.760
bed and looked under her bed and see what was

726
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:29.599
making the noise. So I just I didn't have fear,

727
01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:32.760
you know. And I've told people for years, if you

728
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:38.960
have a problem and you're afraid, you know, I don't

729
01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:44.400
have a problem with going and being there and seeing,

730
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:48.480
you know, what's going on, because I just I don't

731
01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:51.480
have a fear. I'd love to go to Skinwalk a ranch.

732
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:56.480
That'd be really awesome. But I've seen a lot of

733
01:00:56.519 --> 01:01:01.199
things too, so you know, it's just one of those things.

734
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:02.679
I'd like to go there.

735
01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:08.440
It's such a really cool way to look at things

736
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:12.639
that I really appreciate how you're laying everything out. Let's

737
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:17.440
say there's a listener and they're like, yeah, you know,

738
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:21.360
I kind of want to just go to an area

739
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:25.639
and kind of try this this out, maybe a little

740
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:30.079
differently than I've done before, where I'm knocking on trees

741
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:33.800
and making howls and stuff, And it sounds kind of

742
01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:37.360
similar to how I've talked to Tom Cantrell about things

743
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:41.159
before too. If you were to break it down very

744
01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:45.119
simply of what how what a person would do to

745
01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:50.920
try to to put themselves into a situation where they

746
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:54.719
can connect with them. Is that something that you've ever

747
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:57.480
tried to do, where you break it down very simply.

748
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:04.440
Oh, I've worked with people for years helping them get

749
01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:10.280
past their fear, and I've been working with one particular

750
01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:15.159
person now for about a month. They are past that

751
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:20.679
knocking and hooping and all of that. They want more.

752
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:25.719
They don't want to stop there. They want more, and

753
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:31.079
so you know, I would tell them go to an area.

754
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:35.519
I mean, if you want to look up on the

755
01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:39.480
web and find out where all of the sightings are

756
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:44.440
or whatever, do that. But the first thing you need

757
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:48.199
to do is go to these woods. Pick your woods

758
01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:52.639
you're going to go to, Go and just walk through

759
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:57.199
the woods. Get familiar with where you're at. Note things.

760
01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:00.599
I mean, if you want to take pictures of interesting

761
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:05.119
things in the wood, as far as something that might

762
01:03:05.199 --> 01:03:09.559
look like a structure or something like that, do it.

763
01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:15.519
You know, document that and then just be open to

764
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:21.599
whatever be in a respectful way and just go with

765
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:27.440
your heart open and let happen what happened. But the

766
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:33.280
number one thing is just go and enjoy being there

767
01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:38.559
and then go back again. Know your woods that way.

768
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:43.760
You know when things are different, maybe you just have

769
01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:47.280
a feeling, well this doesn't feel like it did the

770
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:51.719
other day, or you see something you took a picture

771
01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:54.719
of and you go, whoa, wait a minute, that's changed

772
01:03:55.960 --> 01:04:03.280
and you look at it. But always when you're out,

773
01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:08.800
just tell them, you know, hello, I say hi guys,

774
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:14.800
you know, have a conversation with them. People ask me

775
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:17.800
do I have to do it through mind speak or

776
01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:21.400
to let thee Now usually when I'm talking to them,

777
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:26.000
I talk out loud, and but you do what makes

778
01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:31.840
you comfortable. But just talk to them, tell them who

779
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:37.440
you are, why you're there, and just like you would

780
01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:41.760
anybody that you wanted, that you wanted to meet or

781
01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:47.000
you wanted to get to know better, and just open

782
01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:53.599
up your heart and shift your paradigm. And this person

783
01:04:53.719 --> 01:04:57.880
that I've been working with over this last little bit,

784
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:03.360
they had go out like I don't know, three or

785
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:08.760
four times, but now they're already having things and have

786
01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:14.840
had a visual So them changing up what they were

787
01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:19.519
doing gave them what they were asking for. They wanted

788
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:22.840
to know more. They didn't just want to hear a

789
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:26.960
knock or see a footprint or a hoop or whatever.

790
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:29.599
And I mean all those things are kind of fun

791
01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:33.239
when you hear because I still like to hear them

792
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:40.320
whoop and whatever. But it depends on what you want,

793
01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:46.039
you know, and if you're willing to just go and let.

794
01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:51.199
It happen, I'd say that is great advice. And Arla,

795
01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:55.840
thank you for coming on the show tonight and for

796
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:59.840
sharing some things from your heart about what you've experienced

797
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.000
through your life so far. Do you have any final

798
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:09.199
closing thoughts? Slash? How are ways that people can keep

799
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.719
up to date with what you're doing currently when it

800
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:13.800
comes to Bigfoot.

801
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:18.639
I have a YouTube channel. Now you're going to see

802
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:21.440
a little bit of everything on that YouTube channel. I

803
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:25.840
started it in twenty fifteen and then I had a

804
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:28.440
big change in my life for several years, but I've

805
01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:32.559
gone back and I am posting things on it. It's

806
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:37.519
Arla Williams is what my YouTube channel is. I am

807
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:42.320

808
01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:49.000
be Arla calliout Colette, so you'll see Arla Collette. And

809
01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:54.599
if you're going to send me a friend request, send

810
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:59.119
me a message too, because I get all kinds of

811
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:04.840
friend requesd west that I can't see their page, and

812
01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:10.039
unless I know somebody's going to friend me, or I

813
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:14.559
have a friend that says yes, this person is you know, okay,

814
01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:19.880
then I'm probably not going to friend you. If I

815
01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.239
can see your page and you know, see what you're about,

816
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:27.519
then then I don't have a problem with doing that.

817
01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:30.559
And it doesn't matter to me what you believe they are,

818
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:36.880
or your political affiliation or anything else. That's not my

819
01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:44.239
criteria for letting people on my Facebook page. You can

820
01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:50.079
search my name Arle Williams or Arliclette on YouTube. I've

821
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:55.719
done tons of podcasts. I actually have a podcast I

822
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:00.440
do now with Michael Harrell and it is on The

823
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:05.519
Poor Convene Show, which is a group on Facebook. It's

824
01:08:05.679 --> 01:08:09.000
a public group, so anybody can come there. But then

825
01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:13.960
we do them live every other Thursday, and then they

826
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:19.600
go on Michael Harold's YouTube channel. So I'm out there

827
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:24.359
if you want to listen, you know too more and

828
01:08:24.479 --> 01:08:28.000
probably hear a whole lot more of the paranormal aspect

829
01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:31.479
of you know what goes on in my life too

830
01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:32.359
as well.

831
01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:38.479
Fantastic. We will definitely make sure that all that is

832
01:08:38.720 --> 01:08:43.520
linked in the show note description. And Haarley, just thank

833
01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:45.680
you again for coming on the show. It has been

834
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:47.600
a real pleasure chatting with you tonight.

835
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:51.760
Well, thank you for asking me. And I do have

836
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:55.800
two books. I have My Life with the Hairy Peeople

837
01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:01.439
and Respecting the Water. That's a children's book with a Bigfoot.

838
01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:04.239
Of course, you can get them on Amazon or you

839
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:08.319
can get them for me, And thank you so much

840
01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:12.560
for asking me. I really appreciate that.

841
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:19.399
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something

842
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:22.640
directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're

843
01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:26.439
in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've

844
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:29.319
seen something that no one can explain, or if you're

845
01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:32.640
a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told

846
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:35.640
to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen

847
01:09:35.720 --> 01:09:38.960
something strange down on the ground, or if you're with

848
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:42.600
the FBI a federal agency or working intelligence and you

849
01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:45.800
stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And

850
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:49.199
if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder

851
01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:52.560
who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

852
01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:56.479
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil

853
01:09:56.560 --> 01:10:00.119
field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something

854
01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:03.560
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

855
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.479
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

856
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:10.880
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

857
01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:13.880
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

858
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:17.399
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

859
01:10:18.079 --> 01:10:21.199
or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or

860
01:10:21.239 --> 01:10:24.600
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

861
01:10:25.960 --> 01:10:29.439
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

862
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:34.720
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

863
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:37.600
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

864
01:10:37.640 --> 01:10:43.439
carry alone. And you're not alone. You've got the story,

865
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:47.800
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:59.239
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
