Season 1

A lifelong outdoorsman from Pennsylvania shares a series of encounters that followed him for years across remote lakes, mountain ridges, and deep forest trails. What begins as a routine deer hunt near the Maryland border turns into a face-to-face sighting at close range, followed by powerful vocalizations, unexplained structures in the woods, and an encounter near a dam bridge that escalated into physical contact.


As the years go on, the activity continues. Jeff describes additional sightings near Blue Knob, a shoreline encounter while kayaking at a secluded reservoir, and later experiences involving repeated whooping calls and glowing eyes witnessed by others after dark. Each account is grounded in firsthand observation from someone deeply familiar with the terrain and wildlife of Pennsylvania.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.160
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.880
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society, Welcome

11
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.159
back to another episode. We've got the privilege of talking

12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.320
to Jeff today. Jeff is out there from the Maryland,

13
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.280
Pennsylvania area. We'll be talking more about the area in

14
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.359
a little bit. He's a construction worker in outdoorsmen, so

15
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.719
definitely gets out there and he's had some interesting things

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.759
happen over the years. So welcome to the show.

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:55.039
Jeff.

18
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:55.759
How are you doing, sir.

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.200
I'm doing pretty good. Thanks awesome.

20
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.679
We were just talking about where some of this takes

21
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.840
place and I was double checking the map and we

22
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.519
will be going if people are falling along with the

23
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.680
map that's over at Bigfos Society podcast dot com and

24
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:18.319
then the sighting map. We're going to be in some

25
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.640
areas that have been heavily discussed in Pennsylvania, so it'd

26
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.519
be very interesting, So make sure you do that if

27
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.000
you can. But Jeff, you know, feel free to take

28
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.680
us back to when this first started to happen in

29
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.280
for you, when you first started realizing you were having

30
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.680
some sort of interaction with something out of the ordinary

31
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:41.079
out there.

32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439
Okay, I'll start with the first time I ever seen

33
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.280
them there. I was, I was it was the second

34
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.599
week of buck season and I'm thinking it was I

35
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:02.519
think it was two thousand and five, and I had vacations,

36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:08.479
so I was hunting, uh for buck down. Uh it

37
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.479
was uh the lakes I was hunting around, they're called

38
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.879
Gordon Lake and Coon Lake. One one of the lakes

39
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.080
dumps into the lower one and there's like a long

40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.319
bridge that goes across where the breast is where it

41
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.759
dumps into the lower bridge the dam and uh. But

42
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.479
I this first one was out where the boat launch

43
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.639
is across the road from it, straight up and uh,

44
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.080
I was hunting up there and there's like the area

45
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.840
has a bunch of like little ridges that come down

46
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.159
from the top of the mountain and they there's like

47
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.639
little hollows in between them, and you get further up

48
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.000
and there's bigger it gets steeper and there's like a

49
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.560
big series of bulls that come together and you can

50
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.919
see like a couple hundred yards in that area. So

51
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:16.479
the first time I went up to that right at

52
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.360
the edge of that big bowl where you could see

53
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.599
like all the valleys go down to that one point.

54
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:34.759
And it was in December, so it was like the

55
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.240
night before it snowed, but it got real nice in

56
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.879
the next morning and it was like between forty to

57
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.000
fifty degrees out, so the snow was melting on the ground.

58
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.479
And I sat in this one spot for until about

59
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.719
twelve twelve thirty and I thought, well, it's kind of

60
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:03.759
quiet walking, and I decided to take a walk. So, yeah,

61
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.840
there's a when I when you go down into the

62
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.840
ravine and back up the other side, it's real steep

63
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.360
up to the top of this next hill. And on

64
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.759
that top of that hill to the right, there's a

65
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.399
bit there's a little pond like up in the in

66
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.560
the right in the middle of the woods up there,

67
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
and there's a stream right above it that goes down

68
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.680
under this real big rock and into the ground, and

69
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
I guess it comes out in that spring. Well, I

70
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.480
got to the edge of this hill where it starts

71
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.079
to flatten out, and it was real quiet walking. I

72
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.319
got up over to the edge of that hill and

73
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.519
I walked right up to something that was sitting on

74
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.279
the ground like if you look at a gorilla or

75
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.639
a chimpanzee. Uh they they h It was sitting on

76
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.360
its end and its legs were were bent up and

77
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.959
their feet flat on the ground, and its arms were

78
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.480
out like a like an ape does, like on an angle,

79
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.319
and its hands were touching the ground. It was like

80
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.639
kind of like a dog sitting straight up, you know.

81
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.040
So it was it had its back to me, and

82
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.839
it's facing to my to the left, and it didn't

83
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.360
it didn't hear me. I walked right up to it.

84
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.000
It was like ten yards away, it was that close,

85
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.319
and it finally turned its head and looked at me,

86
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.839
and something in the back of my mind was thinking.

87
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.160
At first I thought it was a bear, because nothing

88
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.560
else is black and the woods yet down there, you know,

89
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.199
That's the first thing I thought of. But when it

90
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.800
looked at me, something in the back of my mind said,

91
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.399
that's not a bear because its head was like right

92
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.360
on its on its body, you know, it didn't hardly

93
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.399
have any neck at all. Its head was right on

94
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:15.519
its shoulders. And it looked at me, and it it

95
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.600
jumped up and like went ran to my right up

96
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.959
towards that pond, and it made like four gallops, like

97
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.240
about thirty yards away, and it got up on its

98
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.600
back legs and started running up through the this there's

99
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.399
a deer trail that goes up through there, and it's

100
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.759
all mountain laurel and them red and green jaggers. It's

101
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.000
real thick up through there. And I I had a

102
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.199
to my rifle with me, and I'm like, I just

103
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.199
wasn't sure what the heck it was, you know, And

104
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.920
I decided to follow it up to the mountain to

105
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.000
see if I could see it again, you know. And

106
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.800
it went up through the thicket and I could. It

107
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.800
was probably about one hundred yards away from me, and

108
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.360
I was following it up through the sticket. I had

109
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.639
a rough time getting through it, and it went straight

110
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.879
up the mountain and I come out of the thicket.

111
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.879
It was way ahead of me, and I lost sight

112
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.319
of it. So I got out of that thicket and

113
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.720
it comes into more open woods up there, and there's

114
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.759
like big oak and cherry trees. And I got up

115
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.879
to there and there's this logging road up there and

116
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.279
it goes from the left to the right, like straight

117
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.680
across the hill. And when I got to that, like

118
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.000
right before there, I seen something walking, like a person

119
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.680
walking on that logging road and it got in front

120
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.360
of me and there's a series of rocks. There's like

121
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:04.079
three or four bigger rocks that I didn't know they were.

122
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.439
I didn't realize how big they were. So I went

123
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:13.000
back recently and I had my rifle there and it

124
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.279
was like a foot taller in my twenty two magnum rifles.

125
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.439
So I'm thinking like fifty some inches these rocks were,

126
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.720
but at the time I didn't realize that. But it

127
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.800
just it started walking across on that logging road, and

128
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.959
those rocks were like right at the edge of the

129
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.000
logging road, and there was a bunch in between there

130
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.919
two small rocks, and it got to those rocks and

131
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.279
it would step up on the rock and it looked

132
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.720
over me and kind of like in the quarter of

133
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.360
its size, and it would snarl its lip up at me,

134
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.039
like if you try to take a dog's bone and

135
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.080
it tries to grown try to get in, like it's

136
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.039
gonna bite you, it curls its lip up. That's what

137
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.960
it did its lip at like showed me its teeth.

138
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.360
I seen one fang and the rest were just like

139
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:12.639
human flat teeth, you know. I could see them, and uh,

140
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.639
it looked right at me and then looked back and

141
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.879
stepped off the rock and walked to the next one.

142
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.200
And it kept doing this on it even on the

143
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.039
little rocks. It would step up on a rock, look

144
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.159
at me and like star, give me a bat, you know,

145
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:36.360
snarled look, and I'm thinking this thing's trying to scare

146
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.440
me aware or something. You know. It kept doing it,

147
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.240
and then it got to the second, uh big rock,

148
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:47.159
and it did it again, and it then it stepped off,

149
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:52.320
and I thought maybe, well, I had my rifle kind

150
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.639
of pointed towards it, you know, and I thought, well,

151
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.279
maybe if I put it on my shoulder and could

152
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.440
you know, I put it on my shoulder and went

153
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.759
like this as if to say, I'm not trying to

154
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.879
hurt you or nothing, you know, And it seemed to

155
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.440
understand what I did, because when it stepped off to

156
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.519
the last rock, then there was the last rock was

157
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240
the biggest one. It was like a triangular shape one

158
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.639
and it was pointed at the top, and it stepped

159
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.799
up on that rock and it didn't it looked to me,

160
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.399
but it didn't snarl this time. It stepped off and

161
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.559
then it just turned its back on me like like

162
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.320
it was calm, and it walked. There was a deer

163
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.159
trail that went right up over the hill, straight up,

164
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.960
and it got on that deer trail and started going

165
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.159
up there. So I left to get ahead of me

166
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.039
a little bit, and I continued to follow it to

167
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.360
see where it goes, you know. So I went up

168
00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:01.440
to the We followed this trail up and it comes

169
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.720
to a steeper part of the mountain and there's a

170
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:09.679
deer trail that's pretty well beaten down. It goes right

171
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.000
through real thick mountain Laurel up there, and there's very

172
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.200
little leafs in there because there's not many big trees.

173
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.399
It's all mountain Laurel. And I got up into there

174
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.320
to where I couldn't hardly see, like maybe fifteen twenty

175
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.799
feet in front of me, and I heard them running.

176
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.960
You could hear feet slapping on the ground running up

177
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.320
the trail. There was several of them running up the trail.

178
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.799
So I backed off. I decided to stop, and I

179
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.519
went back down a little bit and I went back

180
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.759
into the open woods to the left, and I went

181
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.000
back up clean to the top, but out hill, and

182
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.679
at the top, I think it's well, I know it's

183
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.320
posted up there. Somebody owns that up there, and it's

184
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.279
all posted at the top. And there's a yellow gate

185
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.159
on the one logging road that goes up on an angle,

186
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:12.039
and I've seen the same one walking and it looked

187
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.320
back at me, and then it went around the yellow

188
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:18.279
gate and it it like started walking real fast up

189
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.879
through there. And I had my gun and everything, and

190
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.039
I didn't want to go into posted land, so and

191
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.320
I thought i'd better get out because I didn't know

192
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.759
where the other ones were up there, you know, So

193
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.159
I got out of there. That was the first sighting

194
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:34.639
I had.

195
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.720
And Jeff was that in Maryland or Pennsylvania.

196
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.679
That it's in Pennsylvania. Gordon and Coombe Lake is actually

197
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.320
I from what I heard, is the lake that supplies Cumberland,

198
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.399
Maryland with their drinking water. So it's there's there's a

199
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.039
big upper dam. I think that's the the one that's Gordon.

200
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.440
It's one or the other. I'm not sure Coon or Gordon,

201
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.639
but uh. And then there's like a there's a bridge

202
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.639
there that goes across where the breast is and it's

203
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:17.000
a about one hundred foot drop to the lower lake there.

204
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.960
And that my second sighting was right next to that bridge.

205
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.960
And that's where I had the second sighting. And is

206
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.879
that near a certain town at all? Or we get

207
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.720
the nearest town. There's a gas station on Route two

208
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:40.200
twenty if you go south towards uh, towards Cumberland. It's

209
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.799
still in Pennsylvania. It's on the right. I think that's

210
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.159
Centerville or New Centerville one or the two. Okay, there's

211
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.480
a gas station rate there before you like then probably

212
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.080
six or eight miles down the road, there's Route sixty

213
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.440
eight down Maryland. That's where the.

214
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.799
Border ISHI gotcha. So this is like between Bedford and

215
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.039
Cumberland on two.

216
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.399
It's close to Yeah, it's close to Maryland.

217
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.440
Okay, Oh, I see that. I think I see the

218
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.200
big lake now. Oh, coon. It's k O O N right, yep,

219
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:14.679
I got it.

220
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:15.519
Yeah.

221
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.080
Cool on the east side. Awesome, very cool. So you're

222
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.120
saying by the bridge over there, then that was where

223
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.240
you had your second encounter happen as well?

224
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.759
Yeah, right, it was right on the upper damn side

225
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.039
of the bridge when you come Well, when you come

226
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:38.360
up to that bridge, there's like a series of sharp

227
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.759
turns and then it comes right onto that bridge, and

228
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.799
then you crossed the bridge and on the left is

229
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.240
the upper side and on the right is the lower

230
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.600
dam I was on the left side of the bridge

231
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.600
after you crossed the bridge. I was like right next

232
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.399
to the bridge down there, and uh where I parked.

233
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.559
If you you go past the bridge, you go about

234
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.759
one hundred feet past the bridge or maybe a hundred

235
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.879
guards and there's a little area there's one of them

236
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.480
yellow gates like they have there on like down in

237
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.279
the bottom of this little parking lot there so people

238
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.559
can stop bearing fish or whatever, and there's like a

239
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.360
gate there. I parked right at that gate, and I

240
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.759
turned around and was facing the road there, and I

241
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.519
went down I walked there's a trail that goes right

242
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.000
down beside that bridge on the upper damn side and

243
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:44.080
I was fishing right there next to the bridge, and

244
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.519
I was catching blue gills that evening. It was rate

245
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.279
in the evening and it was starting to get dark

246
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:56.600
and stuff, but I just decided to I was still

247
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.200
catching nice blue gills and stuff, so I was just

248
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.279
throwing them back. I wasn't keeping them or nothing, but

249
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.000
I was having fun catching them, and I didn't want

250
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.919
to leave, you know. So it was dark, but it

251
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.320
was starting to get dark, and I was still fishing,

252
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.399
and all of a sudden, I heard like a real

253
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:20.879
loud growl. The first one kind of sounded like a bear,

254
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.360
and that's the first thing I thought of, there's a

255
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.679
bear up bear on It sounded like it was on

256
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:31.720
the other side of the hill or the road up

257
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:37.000
on the mountain there, and I heard this roar. And

258
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:47.639
if I've recently just seen that, there was a recordings

259
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.960
from Arizona, and there's one from Bluefield, West Virginia, and

260
00:16:54.519 --> 00:17:00.200
they were like them. They were like a howl or

261
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:05.519
more like a yell, but they sounded exactly like those recordings.

262
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.880
And the first one, I actually thought it was a

263
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.480
bear because it was more like a growl, you know,

264
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.720
And I thought man, I better pack my stuff up

265
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.240
and go, you know, because I didn't want to stick around.

266
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.599
I didn't have no gun or anything, so I just

267
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.400
had a little tackle box and two rods with me,

268
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.160
so I grabbed them with my right hand. I had

269
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.920
them all in my right hand, and I started going

270
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.000
back up the trail to the road to the main road.

271
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:44.119
And I got halfway up in whatever growd, it made

272
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.440
a real loud yell. It's almost as loud as a

273
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.200
like a fire whistle, like a fire siren. It almost

274
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:58.960
sounded like that. But behind after that you could it

275
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.839
sounded like a man yelling at the top of his lungs,

276
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.359
like a but it was deeper than a man's voice,

277
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.240
and it was a lot louder. You could actually like

278
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.519
feel the rumble of it. You know. It was real loud.

279
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.000
And I stopped dead in my tracks. I'm like, and

280
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.400
it was. It sounded like it was right on the

281
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.880
other side of the road. This time. There's like a

282
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.319
little hill that drops down to the road on the

283
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.720
other side of the road. So I uh, I decided, well,

284
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.240
I'm going straight for my car. I ain't going up

285
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.559
there to the road, you know. So I went through

286
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.960
there's just a little patch of woods to the car,

287
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.960
but it was thicker than what I thought it was.

288
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.400
But I was going through this thick patch of woods

289
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:54.400
towards straight towards my car. And there's a like like

290
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.200
a trail that goes from the road down to the

291
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:02.519
lake right in front of there, you know. And it

292
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.680
when I got right before that trail, I could hear

293
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.559
it crunching walking down that trail. So it got right

294
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:13.920
in front of me at that When I got to

295
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:20.039
that trail, it was standing there waiting, and so it

296
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.920
was like crouched down and it had its hands out

297
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.880
like to the side of it. And I tried to

298
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.880
go left, and every time I moved left, it moved

299
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.839
with me. It was like blocking my way to my car,

300
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.160
and it wouldn't let me go. And then then all

301
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.039
of a sudden, it started, uh, like bumping my chest

302
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.400
with the back of its hand. It would bunt. It

303
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.680
started bumping my chest and grunt. It was making a

304
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:57.160
grunting at me like it was grunting, and then uh

305
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:03.319
it h it took its hand. It had its hands

306
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.359
like right on the outside like as I was trying

307
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.880
to move away from it, it had its hands right

308
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.880
at my shoulders, so it was almost touching me, but

309
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.200
it wouldn't touch me with its on my shoulders. That

310
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.039
then it bumped. It kept bumping my chest, and then

311
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.240
it started bumping my shoulders and then all of a sudden,

312
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:29.119
I see its eyes. They glowed up like pure red.

313
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:35.279
The whole eyeball, you know, both eyeballs glowed up, started

314
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.519
glowing red, and it had big pupils. I could see

315
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.079
the pupils in it. And when it did that, I

316
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:46.319
just I started haulering and yelling. You know, I was scared,

317
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:51.000
and uh uh, I just started freaking out on it.

318
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.319
And I had I had my ficion stuff in my

319
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.079
right hand, and I made a fist like this and

320
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.920
I hit it. I like darted to write and hit

321
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:06.279
it like about right here on its elbow and I

322
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.119
hit it's elbow and I hollered. And when I did that,

323
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.319
it scared it, and it took off down to the

324
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.400
lake and I went the other way and I got

325
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.359
to my car and I got out of here. I

326
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.920
got in my car and I was it scared the

327
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.720
crap bottom me.

328
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:31.119
Okay, wow, so you are You're one of the only

329
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.079
people I've talked to so you pretty much had a

330
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:38.240
physical altercation yeah with Bigfoot. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm like,

331
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:45.599
I have some questions for you. Yeah, yeah, but but sorry,

332
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.160
go ahead and by all means finished here your account

333
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.000
of what happened first, and then I will definitely ask

334
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.279
you some questions.

335
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.359
Yeah. As soon as I back like they called her backhanded,

336
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:06.039
but I actually used my fist and kind of punched

337
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.000
it with the back of my fist, you know, with

338
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.359
this part, and I hit it on its side of

339
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.160
its arm, right by its elbow. I hit it as

340
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.119
hard as I could, and I hollered it. I was

341
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.559
hollering as soon as I seen the glowing eyes. That's

342
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:25.359
that freaked me out, and I'm like, get away from me,

343
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.680
you know. So I I just out of reaction, I

344
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.599
just punched it like that, and I jumped at the

345
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.640
same time. I went that way to the right, to

346
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.119
my right so it couldn't get me in the But

347
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:46.720
when I I've since that, when I punched it like at,

348
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.240
it kind of startled it and it hurried it like

349
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.200
jumped away from me, and then it ran right towards

350
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.200
the lake and I went straight to my car. I

351
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.440
was only probably a hundred feet from my car, you

352
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:01.799
know when it happened.

353
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:08.960
Okay, when you get to the car, then then what

354
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.440
to do?

355
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.880
Oh? I had the one or awo, I had a pathfinder,

356
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.039
so I had the keyless entry. So I hit the

357
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:23.240
hit the the key bob and got it unlocked as

358
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.400
I was running to it, and I jumped in it

359
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.359
and I just started up as quick as I could

360
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:32.279
and I rammed it into drive and I was out

361
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.279
of here, and I didn't look.

362
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:40.519
Back, gotcha, Just to remind me, so at the point

363
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.359
when you're going back and forth yourself in the bigfoot, yeah,

364
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.759
I mean you're probably what half a half a foot away?

365
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:51.880
A foot away? You're close.

366
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.880
Yeah. It was like right right in front of me,

367
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.200
like with within arm lengths of it, which is a

368
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.880
lot big. It was wider than I was a lot

369
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.759
wider right, But it had its hands like right on

370
00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:09.680
my shoulders the whole time. But then it started bumping

371
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:13.720
my chest and hitting me on my shoulders like like

372
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.759
the I don't know, it just didn't want me to

373
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.359
get past it. I guess it was trying to scare

374
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.799
me or what. I don't know.

375
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:31.200
Absolutely, Thank goodness, was there any smell you being so close.

376
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.839
No, I didn't have I didn't smell them on any

377
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.400
of my occasions.

378
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.680
I don't know, gotcha.

379
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.519
I didn't smell any skunk like odors or anything, which

380
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.039
is weird, you know. I don't know, but I never.

381
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.920
It's going to feel a certain way if you hit

382
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.880
something that's muscular versus if you hit someone that is

383
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.440
not muscular at all, you're going to get different action,

384
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.599
right right, What could you tell about it's a big

385
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.960
foot by how it felt when you you hit it.

386
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.119
Well, I felt, I felt it was real solid, like

387
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.559
a like a real well. When it was standing in

388
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.359
front of me, there was moon. It was a full moon,

389
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.319
so I could see a little bit, but I could

390
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:28.359
the moon was like out over to the left, out

391
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:31.440
over the lake, so I couldn't see the front like

392
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.839
its face real good until its eyes glowed up. But

393
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:39.039
I just like what I was more or less focused

394
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:45.440
on its eyes and uh, but uh when it uh

395
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.440
when it was standing there in front of me, don't

396
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.680
like bumping my chest and stuff. I could see it's

397
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.400
like chest muscles in its like abb area, and I

398
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.200
was I was about eye level with it and like

399
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.759
rated at the bottom of its chest muscles that's about

400
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.279
where my I was eye level with that area of it,

401
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.640
so I got to see. I seen, uh the hair

402
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.480
on it. I seen like it was thinner on its

403
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.519
on their chest and you can actually see the muscles

404
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.440
and stuff on it.

405
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:21.160
But okay, and.

406
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.880
Uh, the top of its head you could see the

407
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.640
long stringy hair sticking up like it, you know, because

408
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.440
you could see a little bit of moonlight in it

409
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.440
in the sky their so I could see like the

410
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.160
outline of it, and it was like wild hair, like

411
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.440
a wild man, you know, right.

412
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.000
How did it feel when it actually pushed you?

413
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:53.279
It? It just it used the back of its hand

414
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:56.319
like this part of its tan, and it was like

415
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.200
by its knuckles and it was bumping my chest like

416
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.880
this and going on like like a grunt at me.

417
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:06.079
It just kept doing that.

418
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.599
Did you get a sense as to how much of

419
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:19.000
its force it was using when it was doing that? Uh?

420
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.880
It it wasn't doing it there, I don't think it was.

421
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.559
If it want or two, it probably could have done

422
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.559
a lot harder, but it wasn't really bumping it real

423
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.839
hard just to like like it was trying to scare

424
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.480
me or spook me out of there or what it

425
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.920
seemed like to me, but it yeah, it wasn't real it.

426
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.240
It didn't hurt a lot, but it was like a

427
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:54.200
like like someone smacked your chest half half as they could.

428
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.799
You know, absolutely, how tall are you? I'm about five

429
00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.920
six five seven?

430
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.759
Okay, gotcha Interesting When the eye started to glow, did

431
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.519
that happen really quickly or did it happen like it

432
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:10.200
was a slow ignition?

433
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:18.759
Uh, it was kind of like a slow They glowed

434
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.039
like real slow, and they got gradually got brighter and brighter,

435
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.519
and they got real bright red. Okay, and you can

436
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:33.680
see the pupils were bigger than normal, you know, but

437
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:39.279
you can the darker pupil in the mill, but it's

438
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:45.279
the whole eye was glowing, both of them. So after.

439
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.200
Was there a point then where you were able to

440
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.319
see any details about the face since you were so

441
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.000
close to it?

442
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.559
Yeah, kind of it had I seen. It had a

443
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:03.480
real small nose and like a little bump for a nose,

444
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.359
and the rest was real dark. It was covered, everything

445
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:15.519
was covered with hair except around its eyes. That's pretty

446
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.279
consistent with the other ones I've seen. Uh, the one,

447
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:24.599
the first one that I walked up to when I said,

448
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:28.160
I climbed that heel and bounced that one right at

449
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:33.319
the edge of the hill. It it didn't have facial

450
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:35.880
hair on it. That was the only one that was different.

451
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:39.319
It didn't have facial hair on it. But and it

452
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:45.200
had like more of a like Caucasian, like a whitish

453
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.400
color of skin to it. But it was grayish and

454
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:55.759
uh it I describe it as looking like an old chimp.

455
00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:00.680
But its face was longer than a chimp's face. It

456
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.440
was like longer, like more like a person. But uh,

457
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.279
that was the only difference.

458
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:13.799
It's extremely interesting. I've talked to a guy in Oregon

459
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.559
before where he got backhanded by a bigfoot. Yeah, but

460
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:22.640
this is the opposite. So it's extremely interesting. I yeah, man,

461
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.400
because if he wanted to take you out, he would

462
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.880
have taken you out, no questions asked. I mean, you

463
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.599
look at how strong just a chimp is. I mean,

464
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.519
it would have been game over. So I what I'm

465
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.480
kind of taking away is that he just winds you

466
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:36.119
out of the area.

467
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.240
Yeah, yeah, that's what. Yeah, That's what I'm thinking. Because

468
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:43.880
I kept throwing him. These blue gills were big. They

469
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:48.160
were like eleven to twelve inch long. Blue gills they're

470
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.799
bigger in my hand, and I was catching them every cast,

471
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.400
and I kept throwing them back and throwing them back.

472
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.880
I don't know if they were watching me, dude fish

473
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.000
or what, you know, that's what I thought. Maybe they

474
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.799
wanted me outitors so so they could go catch them

475
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:06.359
or whatever.

476
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.720
I don't know right exactly. So after you, you know,

477
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.880
you drove away. How did this affect you? Having such

478
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.440
a close interaction but also one that got kind of

479
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.440
physical as well.

480
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:25.759
Well, I definitely don't go uh night fishing very often anymore,

481
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.920
that's for sure. Yeah, that uh. Since then, well, I

482
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.200
always carry I have a forty four magnum pistol, and

483
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:39.880
I carrying it every time I go uh hunting, Well

484
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:43.559
if I can, if I have to use a smaller one,

485
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:46.720
I have smaller caliber ones, you know, like for small game.

486
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:52.519
They don't allow you certain size as of pistol to carry.

487
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.240
But I if I go up and down them woods,

488
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.599
I take my forty four magnum with me and uh,

489
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.960
just in case, you know. And I don't go fishing

490
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.680
without a gun anymore either. I have a gun inside

491
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.440
my tackle bag. And if I go somewhere more remote,

492
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.359
I have my forty four on my side, I don't.

493
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.039
I don't like to go night fishing anymore. I don't.

494
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:28.000
I haven't gone very many times since then unless I know,

495
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:33.839
but I probably wouldn't either. Yeah, Yeah, that was something

496
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:35.119
else there.

497
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.759
Have you been back to that spot at all?

498
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.559
Yeah, I've been back to it. Yeah. I actually went

499
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.920
back to that up to where my first encounter was

500
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:54.039
up in the woods, and I years ago before I

501
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.519
ever seen any of them down there, I seen this

502
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.559
weird tree blind up bear at the top and that's

503
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.480
about where I seen my second one where it was

504
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.640
walking on the stepping on the rocks. It was close

505
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:14.640
to that, I think, right above there, and years ago

506
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.720
before that even was there, there was a tree that

507
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:21.920
there's like a drop off rate before you get up

508
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.400
to those mountain larels, and there was a tree that

509
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.119
come out over it and I used to hunt. You

510
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.319
could walk out this tree stump like the the trunk

511
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:33.759
of it, and you could sit in the wide a

512
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:36.920
tree and you were like ten or fifteen feet off

513
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.039
the ground, and there's a deer trailer renting right under there.

514
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.400
And the one time there was like real long, stringy

515
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.079
hair on it, and I never thought nothing of it

516
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:49.920
because I never seen nothing like that. I just figured

517
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.240
maybe a coyote was up there, or you know, a

518
00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:00.160
bobcat or something using it for hunting or whatever to

519
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.279
jump on them or something, because you they would walk

520
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:07.480
right under you never see you. And then this one year,

521
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:11.119
one year, a big windstorm and come and blew that

522
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:15.639
tree down, and I had noticed that that it was

523
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.000
coming down, And then I walked over to the left

524
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:25.920
more and there was this weird tree blind and it

525
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.159
was made up of logs that were broken and wrapped

526
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.400
around like two standing trees, but the bark was all

527
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.559
in one piece. You know, they were still intact on

528
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.519
a tree. They were like about eight inch from logs

529
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.079
that were broken like about five feet foot long, and

530
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:53.079
then like wrapped around the other trees. And there they

531
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:56.880
were stacked on each other and they were about they

532
00:34:56.880 --> 00:35:02.440
were probably the top of the blind was maybe about

533
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:06.639
six feet tall. The last log on it. I have

534
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:13.320
pictures of it. And it was weird because they weren't

535
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:18.320
cut or nothing. They were broken these trees. Like the

536
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:21.280
log part was broken and it was wrapped around the trees.

537
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.800
And I sat, I went in it. There's a log

538
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.840
that sits against a tree that you could sit inside

539
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.199
of it. And I sat inside of it, and I'm

540
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:36.880
sitting there in the logs were way above my head,

541
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:41.639
and I'm like, why would they put logs that high

542
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:45.760
if that's a hunting blind and you can't you can't

543
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.000
put your rifle up to shoot through it. I'd have

544
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.480
to actually step out of it to shoot through it.

545
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:56.480
I thought, I always thought that was a weird blind,

546
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.039
you know, And how they made it, I don't know.

547
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:03.599
I just thought it was weird. And then recently I

548
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:07.360
went back up there and I thought, I walked up

549
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:12.519
onto that blind again, and here it was. Later on

550
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.840
I found my other my old pictures, and it was

551
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:20.000
a totally different blind. This one was more triangular shaped,

552
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:25.719
and it was facing towards the lake, like and that's

553
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.440
the way the sun goes, like, if you're facing down

554
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.920
towards the lake, the sun goes to the right all

555
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.199
the time. And there was right below that there was

556
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:41.719
one of those. There was a tree about ten inches

557
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:46.440
round that was up about twenty feet. It was busted

558
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:51.079
off and it went down like to the ground, and

559
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:57.079
then it formed almost like an X right there on

560
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:01.840
the like on that and then that's rate that blind

561
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:07.920
that's triangular shaped is pointing towards that. So I thought

562
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.599
that was weird too, And that was recently I seen that.

563
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:17.079
That other blind. I didn't see that one before, and

564
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.880
I actually thought it was the old one, but it wasn't.

565
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:21.519
It was a different one.

566
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.400
It sounds like there's a lot of weird stuff definitely

567
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:30.320
going on in that area. It's cool that you're still

568
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:36.480
going there as well. You mentioned so you've had things

569
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:40.800
happen in other parts of Pennsylvania as well, correct, Yeah.

570
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.440
Yeah, by a blue knob up on the top of

571
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:50.679
the mountain right before UH, right near Wimber in ogle Town.

572
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:57.880
It's called UH. From Johnstown, you go take Route fifty

573
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:02.360
six east towards Bedford and you go out to ogle Town.

574
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:09.840
You come out to ogle Town and right there's a trout.

575
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.559
Cricket goes across the road under the road, and then

576
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.920
you go and if you turn right, that takes you

577
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.639
to Wimber of Sportsman's Down and it's a little pond,

578
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.880
but you go past that road and then into the

579
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:27.920
next big dip. There's a big dip one Route fifty six.

580
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.000
You turn left and there's a mountain road that goes

581
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:34.800
back here. It's all gravel and it'll take you back

582
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.960
towards Blue Knob. If you go straight, you can't go

583
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:42.960
that far because there's gates back are. But you go

584
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:47.199
back and there's a crossroads, and you go a little

585
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:50.920
further straight through that crossroads and you come to a

586
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.000
gate where you can't go any further. There's a gas

587
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:58.239
line that goes back there across that road. It runs

588
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:02.599
back across there. You can go pass to the gas

589
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.079
line a little way like maybe a mile more, and

590
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:09.159
then there's another gate there that they always have closed.

591
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:14.079
And that's where one of them. The third sighting was

592
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:19.559
that was back there on the right side of the road.

593
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:24.639
When you go back, there's like a lot like a

594
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:28.639
more like a trail that goes back like a tram road.

595
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:35.159
And uh there there's uh it's called the Lost Turkey

596
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.480
Trail is back there. It snakes through Ogletan and goes

597
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:42.920
out towards Blueno about that way, and I think it

598
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:47.920
circles back around or something. But uh, I was I

599
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:53.239
went back. I was probably maybe three three hundred yards

600
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:57.000
from the car, probably from the road. I went back there,

601
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.400
and it this trail goes back and on the right

602
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:03.079
side it's real thick and on the left side it's

603
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:07.199
more open woods. And uh I went back there and

604
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:11.440
it circles to the right and there's there was a

605
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:15.280
nice log against a tree, and I decided to sit

606
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:21.000
there for the first day a buck. And uh, I'm

607
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:27.280
sitting there and all of a sudden, uh i, uh,

608
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:32.639
I seen something brown and it was kind of deer color,

609
00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:36.320
but it was darker. But I at first I thought

610
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.239
maybe it was a darker color deer or something. So

611
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.840
I picked up my rifle when I had nice scope

612
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:49.360
on it and uh i, uh uh I picked the

613
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.199
scope up on it and I seen I thought it

614
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:56.280
was a game warden. At first, I thought it looked

615
00:40:56.280 --> 00:41:01.119
like somebody in like uh like brown on clothing. You know.

616
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:04.159
I thought, what kind of idiots in the woods on

617
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:08.800
the first day of hunting, uh you know, in all brown,

618
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:13.239
no no orange or nothing. And I so I had

619
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.760
a small pair of binoculars in my bag and I

620
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:21.480
pulled them out because I since I didn't realize it

621
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:25.840
was a person or something, and I put my gun

622
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:28.119
down real quick, you know, because at first I thought

623
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:32.599
it was a deer and uh, so I put the

624
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.760
binoculars on it, and uh one I focused down on it,

625
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:41.519
I realized that wasn't it wasn't clothing. It was hair

626
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:45.920
on it. It had hair covering all of it. And

627
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:50.320
it was walking directly towards me down this little hill

628
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:55.239
right before that trail, the Turkey trail back here. And

629
00:41:56.519 --> 00:42:00.559
when it walked down over that little hill, I I

630
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:06.920
noticed it. Its thighs were like freakiously longer, like real long.

631
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:11.320
It had real long arms and the same thing. Its

632
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:15.920
head was right on its shoulder, and it had off

633
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.199
it was all fur all over it, and it had

634
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:23.199
like an over around its eyes, like about that much

635
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:25.960
where I could see this face. I could see a

636
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:29.639
little flat nose, a little bit of its nose there.

637
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:33.440
But it had like a big brow on it. You

638
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:39.119
could notice it. It was like like a freakish brow

639
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:44.000
on it. This one looked like more giant like to it,

640
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:49.840
because like the thighs of it were like it wasn't

641
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.480
like a normal person would be. It was like a giant,

642
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:58.719
you know, it was bigger. And it just walked onto

643
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.159
that trail and it went uh to my right on

644
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:05.000
that trail. It never, I guess it never see me

645
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:08.599
or anything, but it then it went out of sight

646
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:13.079
and I didn't see it again. But yeah, that that

647
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.960
was enough. That was a different color than the other ones.

648
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:20.239
It was like a little bit darker than a deer,

649
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.760
like a brownish. The other ones were like a dark

650
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:28.679
gray grayish brown, and the skin was like grayish on

651
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:30.800
them gray color.

652
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:39.880
Was it similar to what you had experienced before or

653
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:44.079
was it different than those other ones you had seen?

654
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:51.679
In any way, it was like the the overall appearance

655
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:55.079
of it, it looked the same, but the color was different,

656
00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:59.159
and its face was a little bit different, and it

657
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:02.000
was bigger than them other ones that the other ones

658
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:08.599
looked like maybe a normal person with longer arms, you know. Yeah,

659
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.239
But that one it had like it seemed to have

660
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.119
like a small torso on it, but the legs were

661
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:22.159
like a lot longer on it. And then uh and

662
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:26.000
it on its face, it like its brow and stuff

663
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:29.039
was a lot bigger in the other ones I've seen,

664
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:34.199
they were more the other ones were They had a

665
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.480
brow like that, but and where they had a where

666
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:41.400
a human has a nose that sticks out, it was

667
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:45.000
flat right there, like it was flatten. It came out

668
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.719
to there to their lips like and then they have

669
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:54.119
like lips like an ape, like a monkey, you know,

670
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:56.960
their cheeks like long down to their lips.

671
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:01.480
Oh okay, So when you say that, are you saying

672
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:05.119
like the area from the bottom of the nose to

673
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:10.440
the top of the lip. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, gotcha, got.

674
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.000
Were in it then there it almost looks like their

675
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:17.719
nose doesn't stick out on it. It was like sunking

676
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.280
into their head because of her I guess because of

677
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:23.039
the brow is out over it.

678
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:26.639
More that So it seems like to me, that's a

679
00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:29.880
really interesting detail that not a lot of people bring up.

680
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.360
I used to ask about it a lot having it

681
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:35.199
in a while, So that's really interesting you'd bring that up.

682
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:38.320
I believe that area is called the filtrum if people

683
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.800
want to look look that up. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

684
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:43.239
Yeah.

685
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:49.880
And then you said you've had one one other encounter

686
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:51.800
as well in this this area.

687
00:45:52.920 --> 00:46:00.800
Uh yeah, uh actually, uh it was I think it

688
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.840
was twenty twenty two. I was, uh, well, actually I

689
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:11.119
had two on that this other lake. It was near

690
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:15.039
Beaverdale out on Route eight sixty nine. If you go

691
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:20.679
from Beaverdale like towards Pavia, PA. There's a road it's

692
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:25.000
Route eight eight sixty nine. And you take that out

693
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.639
and there's a lake on the left side. It's called

694
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.679
Beaver Dam Run Reservoir and it's called I think they

695
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:38.079
used to call it on a Linda Dam well before

696
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:40.119
it was closed down, but they opened it up the

697
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:44.400
fishing and you can take your boat out on it now.

698
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:49.840
And but it's just electric motors. But I went out

699
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:54.719
on that lake with my kayak the one year and

700
00:46:56.360 --> 00:47:01.639
I went to I went back like it's almost a

701
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:05.719
mile probably from the dock to the breast and then

702
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.760
the right side of the lake extends out into a

703
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.320
long cove and it's you can't see it from the

704
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:17.480
breast of the damn there. It's pretty remote. It goes long.

705
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:21.440
It's a long one that goes back and I was

706
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:25.800
on like the breast end of it, and I was

707
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:31.880
like halfway back, almost the whole way back to the

708
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:37.039
the end of that long eddy and uh, I was

709
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.719
just fishing the long air. There's a couple inlets ago

710
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:45.280
the streams come into it, and I was I caught

711
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.639
a lot of nice big bass in there and stuff.

712
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:51.760
I was just fishing for whatever. But uh would bite,

713
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:57.800
you know, so UH, I I made it back like

714
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:01.519
two of those in that's I fished two of them,

715
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.039
and I went back, and I was on my way out,

716
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:08.840
and I was going to go to the last inlet

717
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:11.400
in the center of that which I caught a lot

718
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:15.320
of brook trout there before nice ones, and because there's

719
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:18.760
a stream that runs into there, and so I was

720
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.800
headed over that way just fishing, and I looked up

721
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:30.840
on the bank and about probably about two hundred feet

722
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:34.920
away or so, there was one of those things standing

723
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.360
right on the outside edge of the lake right there.

724
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:42.480
And there's no trees there or anything. It's like it's

725
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.719
bushes back there, and there's reads in front of it.

726
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:48.920
And it was standing in front of them bushes, just

727
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:53.440
standing there with its arms to its side, watching me fish.

728
00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:00.920
And I looked at it. I'm like, holy crap, you

729
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:03.559
could tell it. It was the same way. It had

730
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:07.559
hair all over it except around its eyes like that

731
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.159
right on its eyes, and its arms were pretty long

732
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.239
on it. But it was just standing there like straight

733
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.599
looking at me, and I was I started like kind

734
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:26.320
of moving towards it. And between there and that other

735
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:32.239
cricket comes in. It's real shallow and rocky, and you

736
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:35.360
if you don't watch where you're going, you get stuck

737
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:39.000
in here on rocks. And I got into that area

738
00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:42.039
and it was windy that day, and I was kind

739
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.000
of looking down so I didn't hit the rocks, and

740
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:48.199
I looked up and it was gone. So it got

741
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:51.480
out of there, like it within a couple of seconds.

742
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:57.840
But then just recently and twenty twenty two, I think

743
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:03.719
it was on Memorial Day. Uh Uh. I took my

744
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:09.360
two friends, those guys out bass fishing out on the

745
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:17.400
late gear and uh we went over like right before

746
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:20.719
you get to that eddie on the right side of it.

747
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:25.320
There's a small little inlet in there, and we were

748
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:28.960
catching bluegills and stuff in there, just having fun, you know.

749
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:34.559
All of a sudden we uh we heard what sounded

750
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:39.320
like an al call, kind of like one of those

751
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:45.400
alcol calling and it would do it for like several minutes,

752
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:49.239
and then it would stop and it we wouldn't hear

753
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:52.039
it for a while, and then we heard it like

754
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:57.880
two other times after that. And then the third time

755
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:04.639
when it uh did that, it made like a a

756
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:09.400
more of a it turned into like it wasn't like

757
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:13.159
an how it turned into like a monkey whoop, like

758
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.199
multiple ones of them, and they were whooping like over

759
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:21.599
and over, who like a like an eight does you

760
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:26.239
know when they when they start whooping like repeatedly, it

761
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.800
sounded like more uh, you know, a couple of them

762
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:33.519
back there doing it. But you could, like when you

763
00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:35.840
when it sounded like an owl, you could tell it

764
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:39.239
wasn't an owl. It was it it was something trying

765
00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:43.079
or someone I thought it was someone imitating one, but

766
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:46.199
it you know, it almost. But then when it turned

767
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.840
into whooping like that, we're like, holy crap, you hear that,

768
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:53.760
and we're looking up in there. You can see something

769
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.199
dark moving up there, but we you know, you couldn't

770
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.599
see it real good, but you could see some moving

771
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:01.199
up in there.

772
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:08.039
And this was so you're you're a guy who spends

773
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:10.840
a lot of time out there fishing and then in

774
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:13.159
the outdoor. So this is different than when like a

775
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:17.199
bard owl starts to sound weird. So you're saying, it

776
00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:18.239
was way different than that.

777
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:23.119
Yeah, it was like someone trying to imitate an owl

778
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:26.960
something okay, And then when it when it turned from

779
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:31.559
an alcohol to a like a monkey like whooping, you

780
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:34.159
knew it wasn't an owl. There's no way that was

781
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:37.760
now you know, it's not like a bunch of them

782
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:41.719
back there doing the same thing, like you're like a

783
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:47.320
kind of whoop over and over, you know, explain it.

784
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:52.119
But yeah, it turned. It went from an alcohol to

785
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:58.119
and then they started whooping like it. And I thought

786
00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:59.159
that was really weird.

787
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:06.679
It's some really interesting things that you've been having going on. Sorry,

788
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:11.280
go ahead, yeah, oh then, uh, sorry about that.

789
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:16.800
Uh. The next day, Robbie couldn't go, and Logan and

790
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:25.480
I went there and he uh. We stayed there until, uh,

791
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:28.760
it was starting to get dark and we were we

792
00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:32.119
were still heading to the back to the boat launch,

793
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.199
and I was fishing the whole way back, and uh,

794
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:39.920
it was dark till we got to the boat launch.

795
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:43.840
And I just got right before the boat launch, and uh,

796
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:47.119
I was I was driving and I was in the

797
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:50.320
back of the boat using the trolling motor, and he

798
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:54.599
was facing me like towards the back of the boat.

799
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.480
And when I got into the right before the boat launch,

800
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:03.920
he yelled, look over there, and he was pointing across

801
00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:08.400
the from the dock in the trees right there. And

802
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:10.440
I looked over and I didn't see nothing. I said,

803
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:14.239
what did you see? He said, there was something peeking

804
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:17.199
out from a tree right there, and I seen two

805
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:22.000
glowing red eyes. I said, nah, and he said, yeah,

806
00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:25.599
I just seen it. I'm dead serious. And then we

807
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.519
heard something back there, walking like around to where our

808
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:34.239
car was parked. Over there, there's a there's like a

809
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:36.719
little creek that runs in right there to the left

810
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:40.280
of the like if you're facing the parking lot, it'd

811
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:43.960
be to the left, and you could hear something crunching

812
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:48.559
going around that way, like over towards the car. I

813
00:54:48.599 --> 00:54:51.480
had the forty four Magnum with me. I said, you

814
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.320
wait here and I'll go get the car real quick.

815
00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.519
And I ran to the car with the forty four

816
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:01.920
and we got down there and loaded it up, and

817
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:05.360
we didn't hear nothing after that, so luckily we got

818
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:11.199
out of here safely. But yeah, I guess he seen.

819
00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:16.199
He described it as two glowing eyes and it was

820
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:21.000
like peeking out from behind the tree over there. Oh wow,

821
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:24.159
that's crazy.

822
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:29.559
But man, do you ever get to the point where

823
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:32.519
you don't want to go out anymore or you're just

824
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:34.400
you're okay with it.

825
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:38.679
I'll go out, but uh, I don't like to go

826
00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:42.159
night fishing at all. I won't I'll I'll leave before

827
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:46.920
it gets dark. Now it definitely changed that. And you

828
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:50.000
when I used to hunt, I used to go in

829
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:54.159
before daylight with a flashlight and I knew where I

830
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:58.880
wanted to sit, and I'd sit there until dark if

831
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:01.639
I didn't see anything. You know, a lot of times,

832
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.920
you know, so I was always walking in and out

833
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:08.440
of the woods at dark. Not not anymore. I don't

834
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:11.199
do that either. M hmm.

835
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:16.320
Yeah, based on you know, what you've seen over the years,

836
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:21.760
would you how would you classify what bigfoot is? Do

837
00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:23.280
you have any thoughts about that?

838
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:29.960
In my in my mind, I think they're like a

839
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:36.039
cross between a uh, like a gorilla type ape and

840
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:39.079
a human and they're I think they're more human than

841
00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:45.199
they are eight in my uh from what I've seen

842
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:49.760
and seen them, they they they remind you a lot

843
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:53.760
of a gorilla, but a lot like most of their

844
00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:57.920
features are like a human's, like their you know, their

845
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:02.880
body and their shoulders, the way they stand and everything,

846
00:57:03.239 --> 00:57:08.480
it's like a human more they're you know. And I

847
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:11.639
that the one, the first one that I seen that

848
00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:15.119
that it got up and like it galloped. It looked

849
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:19.039
like it was galloping for thirty yards on all fours.

850
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:22.000
It used its front legs like an ape, and it

851
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:25.039
then it got up on its back legs and ran

852
00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:28.800
like a It was fast, you know, real fast, like

853
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:34.199
a person. So, you know, I I think they're more

854
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:38.440
human than they're like human like than they are ape like.

855
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:43.760
But they have their feet, facial features or a lot

856
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:48.400
of that is like an ape. You know. That's so

857
00:57:48.519 --> 00:57:51.320
I think it's like a cross between or something. I

858
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:56.719
don't know. It's it's pretty weird because they have face

859
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.760
you know, where a human normally doesn't have it on

860
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:06.360
like from here up. You know, they had face facial

861
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:12.679
hair like covering their nose and everything. You know. Yeah,

862
00:58:12.760 --> 00:58:17.079
it was thinner right there, but they still had like

863
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:21.159
a thin hair round around their eyes and stuff.

864
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:26.920
It's it's definitely one of the last great mysteries of

865
00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:32.440
the world, I would say, And I mean, you are

866
00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:36.559
one of the only guys out there from what I've heard,

867
00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:41.800
that can say you back on backhanded a bigfoot, which

868
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:44.920
is pretty wild. But it's not that you did it

869
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:48.280
because you wanted to, I think, would you say, it

870
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:50.599
was probably more in a self defense type deal.

871
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:56.960
It was out of survival instinct because I thought it

872
00:58:57.079 --> 00:58:59.559
was gonna grab me and kill me right there, and

873
00:58:59.639 --> 00:59:01.840
I had to get away from it. There's no way

874
00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:04.760
other way I could have done it, you know. I

875
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.559
just I didn't even think about it. I just when

876
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:13.320
I seen him eyes grow let glow red, I knew

877
00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:17.000
something was not right, and I it just freaked me out,

878
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:20.000
you know, I'm like, get the heck away from me,

879
00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:24.199
you know, And I yelled at the top of my lungs,

880
00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:26.960
and I just hit it as hard as I could.

881
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:32.800
And that's luckily it scared. It seemed to like it

882
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:38.599
startled it like if she, you know, something touched him,

883
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:41.519
you know, and he wasn't expecting that. He wasn't expecting

884
00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:45.400
me to hit him. And I think I was lucky

885
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:46.599
to get out of her life.

886
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.119
I would agree with you. I'd say you're very lucky

887
00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.199
to be here telling the story today. But Jeff, thank

888
00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:57.639
you so much for spending some time and sharing what

889
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:03.360
you've experienced over the years. Definitely definitely keep us in

890
01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:07.800
mind if if you experience anything else out there in Pennsylvania.

891
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:10.800
But thank you so much for coming on the show today.

892
01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:13.000
No problem, Thanks for having me.

893
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:16.239
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

894
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.519
around Oakridge, Oregon, and you think to yourself, Man, I

895
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:22.400
would love to get out in those woods and experience

896
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:26.960
it for myself. Well, guess what This year you can.

897
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:30.559
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

898
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:35.800
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summerfest is coming up July tenth through

899
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:39.599
the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be even

900
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:43.519
better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll be

901
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:46.119
one of the speakers. It's going to be wild. I'll

902
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:51.639
probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't

903
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:57.880
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

904
01:00:58.039 --> 01:00:59.960
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

905
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.840
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

906
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:08.039

documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can

sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

910
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:28.519
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot spots

911
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.480
to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign

912
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:36.159
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

913
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:39.400
for the next chapter in his documentary series, which is

914
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:42.559
Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in a lifetime deal.

915
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:45.800
It's just trust it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

923
01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:22.519
you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can

924
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:24.840
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

925
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:28.519
many people last year and the year before. It is

926
01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:31.480
an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

927
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:36.199
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

928
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:38.880
I want to say something directly to a very specific

929
01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:42.400
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

930
01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:45.400
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

931
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:48.679
can explain, or if you're a National Park ranger or

932
01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:52.320
forestreet worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're

933
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:55.760
a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

934
01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:58.920
or if you're with the FBI, A federal agency or

935
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:02.480
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

936
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:05.559
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

937
01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:09.199
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

938
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:12.360
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

939
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.199
on a remote oil field or a trucker with government

940
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:19.920
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

941
01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:23.559
a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

942
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:27.119
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

943
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:30.880
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

944
01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:34.159
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

945
01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:38.000
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

946
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:41.599
NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the

947
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:46.239
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

948
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.320
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

949
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.440
at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear what

950
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:59.039
you've been forced to carry alone. And you're not alone.

951
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:04.320

01:04:10.199 --> 01:04:12.679
us that the world is bigger and stranger than we think,

955
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:15.679
and that the truth is often hiding just beyond the

956
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:18.920
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
