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 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.
10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.359
So stay with us, all right, Welcome back to another
11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.479
episode of the Big for Society podcast. This time I've
12
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.520
got the privilege of talking to Wade, who is an
13
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.759
experiencer of many interesting things over the years, I guess
14
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.520
we could say, And he's going to be sharing about
15
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.799
his years of experience from Humboldt County, California, which most
16
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.520
listeners should be aware of that area. I'm sure after
17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.880
this interview you definitely will be aware of it. But
18
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.880
welcome to the show. How are you doing today, Wade?
19
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.759
I'm deal Jeremiah. Thank you. How are you doing.
20
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.239
Doing great? It's a great afternoon. When I get to
21
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.640
talk to people about bigfoot and just kind of chill
22
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.079
and do that, I would much rather much rather do
23
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:17.280
that than be in the news. So but that's not
24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.319
my deal anyways. Wait, is there anything else that the
25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.400
listeners would need to know about yourself before we get
26
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:25.439
going with our chat.
27
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:32.400
I mean, just kind of on a personal note of
28
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.719
just kind of who I am. I'm just a really
29
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.719
highly sensitive person. Some of the work I've done in
30
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.840
my life is like energy balancing, so just you know,
31
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.000
kind of hands on like ACTI pressure type stuff. So
32
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.200
I think I'm just one of those people that is
33
00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:00.239
very sensitive to energy and vibes and like sensing. I
34
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:07.319
sense my awareness is a huge guide in my life,
35
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.240
and it's something that I feel like I've kind of developed.
36
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.960
And I say that because that was a big part
37
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.319
of all these experiences.
38
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.439
Interesting yea, And I know that you were saying before
39
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.280
that Humble County it's not where you're based at of originally,
40
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.360
but it's where a lot of your experiences happened. Is
41
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:35.759
that right?
42
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:42.039
Yeah, that is correct, And it is a highly mystical area.
43
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:48.560
I mean, it's just a beautiful natural wild place and
44
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.120
where I lived for twenty five years. I've been gone
45
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.319
for about five years now, but I lived in this
46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.680
coastal town called Trinidad, And if you on the map,
47
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.360
you can see as the crow flies, it's directly west
48
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.360
of where Bluff Creek is, which is Bluff Creek is
49
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.479
directly are very close to directly west of Mount Shasta,
50
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.680
and like when you're flying over on a plane, you
51
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.879
can kind of see they're all it's all almost like
52
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.759
a you can draw a line, a straight line between
53
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.560
the three areas. And I just it took me a
54
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.319
while of living there before I really put all that together,
55
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.199
but I just feel like there's Mount chest is not
56
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.560
far as the crow flies. You know, it takes three
57
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.680
or four hours to drive there from the coast, going
58
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.840
over the mountains and everything, but as the crow flies,
59
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.759
it's I don't know, maybe it's like one hundred miles
60
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.439
or something like that. It's not super far.
61
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.560
Yeah, I would really recommend that. A good way for
62
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.319
listeners to do this if you go to Big Fast
63
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.240
Society podcast dot com and in the sightings map, just
64
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.599
search for Trinidad, California, and you can see how, yeah,
65
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.400
literally you go do east directly do east. You've got
66
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.479
the hoop A reservation in Willow Creek is right right there, man,
67
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.800
And then you've got Arcata to south, which there's stuff
68
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:21.959
that happens down there. But what was well, maybe we'll
69
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.160
start here. So do you remember, was there a first
70
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.800
experience when you started living in this area that made
71
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.360
you take notice, that made you realize, Okay, this is
72
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.120
a really intense area and things might get the ordinary here.
73
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.439
Yeah, there's a bunch of little experiences that at the
74
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.519
time I had no idea what they were. But as
75
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.040
time went on, and you know, hindsight's twenty twenty looking back,
76
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.560
I was like, oh my god, I think I think
77
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.000
we had a sasquatch experience, or I mean I still
78
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.120
oh no with some of these things, because there wasn't
79
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.600
a sighting. But the first one happened around two thousand
80
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.839
and one and my son was just about a year old,
81
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
maybe a little more, and my partner and I were
82
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:21.240
with him and our friend and her child, and so
83
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.399
we were all down at the beach at this place
84
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.439
called Big Lagoon, just a little bit north of Trinidad,
85
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.639
and we had kind of walked around the point and
86
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.839
got into kind of a little more of a secluded
87
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.360
area and the babies were just playing in the sand.
88
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.720
We're just sitting down, like having a little picnic. But
89
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.519
in the middle of it all these tiny little pebbles
90
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.399
started falling around us. None of them were hitting us,
91
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.120
but tiny, tiny little pebbles, nothing that would really hurt you.
92
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.680
But it got my attention. And it wasn't just like
93
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.600
one or two. It was like it was a handful
94
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:04.959
of them. And I started getting a feeling. And that's
95
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.480
why I mentioned that sensing. It's like I started getting
96
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.920
this feeling like you know people mention feeling like they're
97
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.360
being watched. It's something similar to that. Maybe it is that.
98
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.959
And so these little pebbles were falling around us, and
99
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.720
we're all just kind of what's going on here? But
100
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.560
I got that feeling, and it was kind of like, okay, guys,
101
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.720
maybe we should maybe we should just pack things up,
102
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.199
you know. And at this particular beach, there's a pretty
103
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.560
big hill right behind it, and a humble at the
104
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.319
forest comes right down to the sand and quite a
105
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.839
ways up this hill. But just this first first hill
106
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.879
by the ocean, near the top of it, there was
107
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:03.680
these two trees that these are giant fur trees probably
108
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.120
thirty to forty feet tall, and it was like something
109
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.920
was at the bottom spinning them. They were like shaking
110
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:17.600
back and forth like pretty wildly. And we looked up
111
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.000
at that and we're like, what the heck's going on here,
112
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.519
and we just decided to just wrap it up, grab
113
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.079
the kids, and move on. I mean, we're the only
114
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.240
ones on that whole beach. You know. That was the
115
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.879
first experience, and it was like, yeah, you know, I
116
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.480
didn't know anything about the rock throwing. I didn't know
117
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.279
anything about the tree shaking at that point.
118
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.560
That's that's really intense right off the bat. I do
119
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.920
want to check on something. So when you say I think,
120
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.879
I think you said the fur trees were spinning, so
121
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.000
they I'm trying to picture that, And so were they
122
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.639
being like like whipping around wildly, like back and forth,
123
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.720
I think, or.
124
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.480
Yeah, yeah, looking around wildly, but also kind of like
125
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.560
I don't know if you were at the bottom of
126
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.079
it kind of doing this or you.
127
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.079
Know, just okay, it was.
128
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.800
It was a wild movement. These giant trees and a
129
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.079
whole forest still forest, but two trees right next to
130
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.720
each other doing this wild stuff. I don't know what
131
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.360
that is.
132
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:27.439
You know, man, that that would make me take notice
133
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.439
as as well. Were you the only one that had
134
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.279
that feeling of being watched or did others Did anyone
135
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.000
else report that they had the same weird feeling.
136
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.639
I don't know if anyone else felt the being watched,
137
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:47.120
But the pebbles and the trees made us all decide
138
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.000
that it was time to go.
139
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.600
Probably probably a good idea. Were you able to actually
140
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.399
try to try to pick up any of the pebbles
141
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.759
or see what size they are or did you just
142
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:02.879
you were out of there.
143
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.480
We're I mean we didn't we didn't exactly run out
144
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.799
of there, but we pretty much just gather stuff. And yeah,
145
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.480
I didn't pick up any pebbles, but they were tiny
146
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.000
little pebbles. The whole beach is kind of full of
147
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.600
these tiny The sand there is pretty the grain is
148
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.320
pretty big, and there's all sorts of little pebbles and
149
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.799
agots and all that stuff. And even even you find
150
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.320
that stuff up on the hills as well, further up.
151
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.039
So yeah, it was just these tiny, light, little pebbles.
152
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.559
Even if they hit you, I don't think it would
153
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:36.159
have hurt you, you know, like, yeah, smaller than a dime.
154
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.159
So did that experience effect start to affect you in
155
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.960
any way afterwards or did you start viewing things differently
156
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.279
around you in that area.
157
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.399
No, that was the first one, and so that was
158
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.799
really just kind of a weird thing that happened that
159
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.679
we didn't really have an explanation for that, you know,
160
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.559
we maybe talked about for a day or two and
161
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.480
then just kind of forgot about it. Yeah, and that
162
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.000
wasn't It didn't really leave me with that the feeling
163
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.600
that I've had since then through some other experiences where
164
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.679
it's like you really have this kind of burning fire
165
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.000
to find out, like what was that? What's going on?
166
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:19.279
You know?
167
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.960
Absolutely, so from that I can I can I can
168
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.399
assume it sounds like there there were other things that
169
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.840
happened though that maybe it starts setting you down a
170
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.799
trail of trying to figure out the mystery that's that's
171
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.320
in this Humble County. Would you be able to maybe
172
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.240
share what happened next in those twenty five years.
173
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.519
Yeah. The next thing was we moved to a different house,
174
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.960
and once again it was like the hillside came right
175
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.080
down to the back of the house and it was
176
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.480
in a pretty forested area. There's not you know, the
177
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.559
neighbors aren't really close. There's neighbors around, and you know,
178
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.879
you can see their lights through the trees and stuff,
179
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.159
but no one's really right on top of you. So
180
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.759
there's there's forests to move through in between the houses.
181
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.919
And my son was about three or four years old,
182
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.399
and he just came into my room all night and
183
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.840
he was really scared because he said a giant raccoon
184
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.840
was looking at him through his window. And that just
185
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:34.080
sent chills down my spine because his window was about
186
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.559
five feet off the ground. And I was like, I
187
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.200
don't know how raccoon is looking through your window, but
188
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.799
that's how he described the face was like the dark
189
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:49.759
circles around the eyes, and and honestly, I didn't go
190
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.399
investigate because it was just kind of one of those
191
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.559
moments where you're like, Okay, let's hang out in my room.
192
00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:06.679
Then you know, absolutely, oh my goodness. It is so strange.
193
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.919
How I don't know if if kids are more sensitive
194
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.559
when they're younger, but that is a thing, you know,
195
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.080
I hear that I've heard where kids will have encounters,
196
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.360
they'll have sightings of weird stuff, and it really does
197
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.600
make you wonder, So you weren't able to look in
198
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.399
in the back to see if there were any like
199
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:36.120
tracks or anything. The next day or anything I got the.
200
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.919
Next day, I did go out there and look, it
201
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.919
was a cement walkway right behind the house, and then
202
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.519
about just a small little kind of like lip and
203
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:53.559
then the hillside went up, and so yeah, I didn't
204
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.120
I didn't see any any footprints or anything. It wouldn't
205
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.000
have been if it was something big. I guess I
206
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.879
could have left the footprint, but wouldn't have been something
207
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.639
that I would have noticed just with all the fur
208
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.440
needles and everything on the forest floor right there.
209
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.240
Yeah, that makes sense.
210
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.960
And that was just you know, my son came in,
211
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.879
he was scared. I was just in dad mood, just
212
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.960
kind of nurturing him, and then kind of through the night.
213
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.879
I have this experience a lot. In the moment, I'm
214
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.000
kind of like, what's going on here, and then after
215
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.840
I have some time to think about it, I'm like, okay,
216
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.480
wait a minute, a raccoon staring in his window. That
217
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.840
doesn't really make sense. The window's pretty high, you know,
218
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.879
So it's kind of like the overnight realization and then
219
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.679
going out there and looking and not really seeing anything
220
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.879
but looking at the window being like, Okay, yeah, that
221
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.960
was a weird, weird thing that happened.
222
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.639
Yeah, that is true. I don't think I've ever heard
223
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.080
anyone else describe a potential sighting as a giant raccoon.
224
00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:00.919
But I mean, at this point, we're not really we're
225
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.919
not really sure what they look like, to be honest,
226
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.639
But were there other weird things that happened around that
227
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.919
same house as well? You had moved into it, and
228
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.759
then you have this report from your son where he
229
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:15.720
saw something weird looking through the window.
230
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.600
I mean, the only other weird thing that happened there
231
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.519
would have been more kind of O would have related
232
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:27.720
to like the ghost realm where a couple of times
233
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.759
and I had actually heard had this kind of verified
234
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.960
later as well, but a couple of times it felt
235
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:42.080
like like a little kid like climbed into the bed,
236
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.600
you know, just in the middle of the night. And
237
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.879
I found out later that there was unfortunately like kind
238
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:57.399
of a massacre up on that hill up above us,
239
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:04.120
you know, back in history, and and other people who
