He Saw It. It Saw Him. Then It Destroyed Everything.

0:00 You're listening to BIGFA Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Tim today. Tim is an outdoors men from New Hampshire who reached out to me after hearing Alex's show about bear Brooks State Park in New Hampshire. So welcome to the show, Tim. How are you doing today?

0:48 Good? How you doing doing great? It's always you know, as I said Alex's show, it's always great to be able to talk to someone from New England as it is kind of a rare occurance. So very very happy to have you on the show today. But you know, I want to make sure that we make the best of our time. Today, Tim, feel free to take us back to where you were and what was happening to you when you had this experience. Yeah. Absolutely, So this was back in nineteen eighty nine, and it was actually and Kidd remained. So my fiance and I at the time, we had rented a house not too far from one not too far from ninety five, not too far from two thirty six for those of you who know the area. So this house that we had run had a couple of acres of land that we maintained and mowed, and then beyond that it was about four acres of land that we did not maintain.

1:56 We didn't vot. It was basically field. So I'd come home at night and there was always near all back, and you know, I could see see the their eyes in the headlights. And I was an avid hunter. I had in New Hampshire. I was still actually registered vehicles in New Hampshire. I was not a main resident. We had just recently rand the house. But I decided that I was going to do some scouting. I wanted to hunt both main in New Hampshire that year. So it was in October and I decided to go out scouting. Now, from my backyard, you'd go through the area that we maintained and then you'd hit the field. Then you hit a little finger line of woods. It was about I don't know, probably ten yards maybe fifteen. And beyond that finger line was a power line. So I decided that I was going to walk that power line. And it was kind of damp, wet areas, and I had some Cat nine kills stuff in it. So I walked the edges of it and I got into an area where there was hardwood, and I started seeing a lot of deer sign and there was a lot, so I got on a run. And this run was like I'll refer it to like a New York style deer or even a Pennsylvania style deer. And this thing was massive. I don't think I found on that large since eighty nine.

3:29 So I did a little bit more scouting, came across the stone wall, I went up and over the stone wall, continue on probably about one hundred thousand the woods, and I came upon an old cemetery and that was kind of spooky because there wasn't any roads or anything leaving this. It was just in the woods, and you know, I respect it, so I stayed away from it, but I didn't feel too easy about hunting around it, so I went back towards the power line. Now, I decided on an area where the deer run had come from the power line, and it was massive, and I was going to put a laddic span there. So that was my decision.

4:12 So I build my own ladd of stands. I use sometimes eight foot, sometimes ten foot, sometimes twelve foot two by fours pt and then I build a platform and the platform. The two by fours that run alongside where the platform goes are always longer than the platform itself because it leans up against the tree and hugs it, so then you can run a strap around it. And it's just that particular day, that particular stand that I had built for that area was actually a ten footer and I didn't use screws. I used nails on everything. Back then. I was also nineteen years old, so I was young. But it was about three days after I had the stand built that I decided I was going to go out and set the stand up. And it was getting towards a dusk, but it was getting to anybody who haunts kind of like them all right, this is prime time. So I went out and set the stand up, and I decided that I was going to hunt it, well not hunted, but just stay there and scout, just to see if I saw anything come through. I decided I was going to sit until dusk. So I got up in that ten foot stand and I had the stand was kind of it was facing southeast towards the back of my house, so I was facing that way.

5:44 And I wasn't there for very long, probably twenty minutes, maybe half an hour, and I could hear something coming from the north and it was coming directly. It was coming directly south, so it was the way I was set up. It was coming off of my left shoulder, so and it wasn't quiet. It was I think it almost like sounded like it was deliberately making noise. So I looked over at it and I couldn't see it for a couple of minutes, and then I saw it, and that's when I decided that there was no way I was looking at this thing again. And this thing was walking upright and it scared the daylights out of me. So, being nineteen years old, I was I tried to hide from it. I put my back directly up against the tree, tried to bring my shoulders in, and there was no way I was looking at it again. So I thought, in my mind, if I looked at it again and it saw me, that was probably gonna be the last thing I looked at, be honest with, Yeah, So it got louder. It got louder. It came directly in behind me.

6:59 I don't know how far, or I'll guess forty yards, maybe fifty, and it was still walking south and then it got to the point where it was almost towards the power line, and then it started walking southwest away from me, and I waited and waited and waited because I could still hear it, still hear it, still hear it. Finally I couldn't hear it anymore, so I decided I better get down before it comes back. And I decided that I wasn't going to go directly out to the power line because I didn't know where this thing was. But I just knew I didn't want to look at it and I didn't want to see in me. So I got back to the house never said a word to my fiance. For days, I thought about it, and I couldn't wrap my head around it. I mean, it was it was not supposed to be out there. So the more I thought about it, the more I was like, this is crazy. I got to I got to figure this out. You know, there's got to be an explanation for it. So I decided to go back out there.

8:07 So I got out work early one day and I went back out there. My tree scand that I had built for that spot was completely destroyed. It was got, it was shredded. It was in like three foot seconds. It was totally annaligated. So I'm looking at this thing and I'm looking around and I'm you know, footprints there was. There was quite a few. I'm looking at it and I'm like, you gotta be kidney. Everybody thinks bigfoot. They're huge. They were probably a thirteen boot, maybe fourteen boots, I don't know, but it was the toes in the width of the print. So if you took your two thumbs and put them together side by side, that was about the size of his big toe with wise or I don't even know if it was a hair or she or whatever. I don't even know if there was more than one, but the pinky toe on the print was about the size of your thumb, so it was. It was pretty scary, and I'm thinking, if this thing can do this to my tree stand, whatuld it do to me if I got a hold of me. So I decided I was going to leave and never go back there.

9:31 I left the stand right on the ground in shreds, and I got oh and another thing too. When I was looking at the stand on the ground, there was a hare on it. On one of the splinters, there was a hare and the hair was probably like six inches long, and it was reddish brown with white at the very end of it. And I only found that one hair, but I did see that one hair. So I got out of there. It went back and I never went into that spot again. And the amount of deer signed in there was I don't know if I really can't tell you why there was so much deer sign in there that I saw, but it was. It was unbelievable. Still today, I just can't wrap my head around it. I've never ever had another experience like that anywhere, and I've also been injury in New York Letchwest State Park.

10:30 I haunted that for years with a buddy of mine, I've been lucky enough to hunt northern New Hampshire for moose and for moose and Maine. Let I screwed that up. You get it point though, But yeah, so I've I've been in the woods a lot since that, since nineteen eighty nine, and I've never come across anything that even similar to that experience that I had in Kiddery. That is wild. So you actually so you saw it as a bat. I mean roughly that's about a maximum of like two tennis courts away, if we're saying for you to fifty yards, I believe. Yeah, yeah, he came in behind me, whatever it was came in behind me. And like I said, it almost sounded like it was deliberately being excessively lowed to intimidate me, to scare me. Well, if that was his intention, as it worked, it was. It was really, I mean it just and in nineteen eighty and I nobody talked about stuff like that. They're starting to talk about it now.

11:37 That's why I am. I still only told a handful of people until this, until today. But you know, you look at like the ex ranger in Massachusetts. I think it's squaws squatcha Chusetts he's an ex park ranger and I saw him on YouTube and heard his story. And I tell you, if anybody, if you guys that are listening, you haven't heard or you know, caught up on the spots to choose its story with a with that ex ranger, it's really interested in what he witnessed, what he went through. Yeah, he was on patrol and refused to basically go back in that area. I think it took a long time.

12:20 And then I think he wouldn't even go back in that area if it was dark. Absolutely, it's scared the daylight's out of them. But it made it that experience. Even though I can't wrap my head around it, you don't know, I it's I'm still in awe about what happened. It. It's got to make you a believer because you know, your eyes don't lie. And when this thing was, it wasn't a bear. If people are out there saying that's a bear, there's no way, no way. And you know, Kiddy's a nice little town. I mean, you got Kiddy Drayton Post. You get a lot of nice areas out there. And you know, for anybody that knows that area, you know one and two thirty six. Those were all within a couple miles of why this happened.

13:05 To me, which is wild to think about. I mean, because you've got all those shops in Kiddery and just to think that a few miles away could be what you experienced that day. So you saw the hair on your tree stand, did that match up with what the actual creature looked like when you saw it walking? Yeah? It was. It was that in color, I'd say, definitely, yes. Thank goodness. Can you remind me of how how tall approximately it was? That's another thing too. I can't say precisely how tall it was, but I know it was six feet anyway, but I don't know if it was seven feet. I don't know if it was seven and a half feet.

13:50 And I didn't stare at this thing because once it registered in my mind that in my brain that this thing was walking on two legs and it was it was wide. That was another thing. I noticed it had pretty good shoulders on it, and that's when I wouldn't That's when I decided, I'm not looking at this thing again. There's no way I'm gonna let it see me. All I wanted to do was hide at that point. And I know that sounds cowardly, but if you're if you're not in that situation, you don't know what it feels like, because you feel you feel like a you know, a grain of stand I mean, you just you feel very small.

14:32 Did it have any way particular about the way it was walking from what you saw? I no, no, not that I recall. It just was walking, not scha. Were you able to notice if there was a shape to its head at all? I cannot say that. I can't, I can't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. I just didn't want to look at the thing forever. I just didn't. I didn't want it to see me. Absolutely, I totally understand. So after this this experience, how long was it before? How long was it before you mentioned to someone else what you had experienced that day?

15:16 I just started talking about it in twenty three. Twenty twenty three was the first time I came out and started talking to people about it. And it was only you know, like a handful of people that actually know about it. And I was surprising it. You know, the people who believed me, you know, they weren't like this guy's on you know, he's a whack job, and no, they actually people are out there and there's I mean, there's a lot of things we don't know about out there, so they accept it, you know. And those who know me, I'm not making it out from and they know I'm not making it.

15:59 Out Yeah, And I think that's you know, it's important to be able to share and hopefully you have you know, the right or people have the right people in their lives in order to share it to. So you waited about almost twenty five years until talking about. This, Yes, I did it. It was actually more than that. Yeah, that's incredible. It was. And another thing too that I want to bring up with with Alex in bay Brook State Park, Now, the main road that runs through there is you know, if anybody that knows that areas, it's called Deerfield Road. Well off of that road there is a dead end road and on that dead end there are cautioned Sasquatch beware of Bigfoot signs all through that place because the person who owns a piece of property down there puts them up to warn people that there is a sasquatch living out There's one. Yeah, that's on the dead endside road.

17:09 I don't want to give the name of the side road, right because I don't want to cause attention to somebody I don't know. But yeah, absolutely, have you talked to that guy? I have not. Okay, No, I have not. That's so interesting. I did not know that about that area. But I mean it's weird because after I put that episode out, I've had more people reach out about that area than I have in a long time about one particular episode. I was very surprised how how well received that was by people that are like, yeah, there's stuff that goes on about there, very weird. Oh yeah, yep. So Alex isn't the only one. I don't believe it. You know, it's had experiences out there, and that's a pretty big piece of woods. I mean, it's it's it's huge. If you don't know in the area, it's really it's really big.

18:04 Absolutely, ye about the Kittery area. Have you ever heard anyone else or talked to anyone else that has also had experiences like yours in that same area? No, I didn't, Kiddery. No. I actually googled that to see if there may have been and I didn't get anything in Kittery, Maine. But of course up through the Appellationians in all that area, there's been plenty of plenty of cases, but not that self. And that's you know also, that was one of the reasons why I decided to share this with everybody, because, you know, when you had Alex on at the end of the show, somebody had mentioned that, I don't know, I forget who it was it. Did you interview Alex or was it somebody else? No, that was me, Yeah, that was you, Okay. So you mentioned the fact that you don't hear cases, you know in southern Maine and you know, northern in New Hampshire, especially southern New Hampshire.

19:03 So that's when I decided, well, I'm going to I'm going to come out and share this with everybody. I mean, it was nine, it was eighty nine. I mean you're looking at fifty How many years was that, Agost It's been quote a few thirty six years. It's been been a while thirty six years. Yeah, more than that, Jim. I just want to say thank you for coming forward and for sharing about, you know, what you experienced that day back in eighty nine in the area where there really hasn't been much talked about. So it's it's was really important that you were able to get your story out, and thank you for doing that. Would you ever want to see something like that again? Or how has this affected you after seeing it?

19:55 I think if I saw something like that again, i'd pay more attention than probably try to get pictures. But and you know, back then, we didn't have the technology that we have now. We didn't have cameras. Everybody's got cameras on the phones. Now I would have taken some snapshots, but you know, just back then, it didn't dawn on me. The living was just to stay the heck away from the thing. But now I would I would go about it differently. Absolutely, I probably get more more people, more people in there, more people involved. I make some phone calls and try to figure out how we could you know, I mean, the footprints that that they could have gotten cast off. They you know, the area was kind of the ground was soft, so the prints really showed up nicely, and I didn't do anything about it, and I just got out of there.

20:45 Well, I mean, it's it's understandable because you're you're dealing with with pretty much just getting out of there alive and just focusing on that, so it is that. I mean, that's no problem with with doing that in that situation. And but yeah, when you do go back, you know, maybe for a second time, the focus does change a bit. But you know, Tim, I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you came to the show to share today. Yeah, I believe I have. I believe I have. I thank you. Thank you for the time, absolutely, and again, thank you so much. It's even rarer to hear about things from Maine, so I appreciate you coming on. But if anything else ever does happen to you, feel free to reach out.

21:34 And I appreciate you coming on the show today. All right, absolutely, thank you. The following counts from a gentleman who came up during a TikTok live. It has to do with a. Part of big foot history that is pretty polarizing. To take this account as you will, it's interesting to hear it from the side of a resident who lived in the area and take it as a lesson of what could potentially happen if there is a bigfoot that is found in your area and the ensuing circus of media and people coming down to that area that.

22:19 Can occur so enjoy Hey brow, how are you, Sarah. Good to hear from you. Again that big foot hunting the weekend or something the other day? Oh yeah, lesson, man, I had to do some research. Man, I think back this between to the two thousand and eight bigfoot hoax. It was Rick and. Matt. Okay, okay, now that happened right here in my neighborhood where it was gonna show the bigfoot. They you know, they found it. So Rex, George. And I absolutely believe both of them stories about they had the bigfoot and somebody came and took it.

23:05 I'm gonna tell you how I know. Matt. I remember him man like I had a kid and his daughter. Don't get me wrong, Befo, you get me right. But they went to the same middle school. So I remember him man like after school like I'll be out in the car waiting on my kid, and he walked his daughter back and forth to school. And at this end of the school, at the end of the lot. You remember when I was telling your early it's been a few days ago, but we've seen that bigfoot run down to baseball the football. He used to be with me. So he walked probably about three or four blocks from that school that actually is where they had that the big beating thing about the big they found the bigfoot.

23:50 But one day he was we were looking at man. They had called like the animal control and the people come out and they were like, well, we we think it's a bear, don't you know if they get closer to. The school callers. But me and that guy used to see it. So he was coming here walk the dogs, cause you were like, you know, they got to do something about that. Me and him like cause I walked to this school every day, man, and that attacked man, my daughter. You know it's gonna be a problem. So don't get me wrong, for you get me right. I remember him going out behind the school one day with a gun to try to get it. He was going like every day to try to get the thing. Man. So uh, I remember them calling the police and about him at the school with the gun, and they told him that he could use the gun or whatever you know, and the big thing, but they let it go. And man, one day he was telling me that, yeah, there was things going on in life, and he say, man, you know I want to be a police, a cop, And I was like, man, a cop don't. I don't want to be a cop no more. You know, we was talking like that. So he came like, not too long with my time. They went to that school back three four years. He showed up one day in a police car and I was like, man, you know, you really changed everything good man. It was a smaller one at that time, was small time. It's very big now. But everybody was rooting for him.

25:14 You know. My mom used to be like, man, you're doing great and stuff like that. So when I heard that they had that big foot host, the first thing that came to my mind was he got that one in the area we're talking about. But it was you know, yeah, so when they had that, man, our whole community was just covered with news media, big trucks, man, everybody all over the world was here and right there. Way they did, but it was gonna release it. It's the only thing. There was a corner store man. Right now, it's probably bigger, like a little small texicoast old store and the lady used to make you know, bedskits and stuff like that. And they used to have you know, kind of going there and buy anything, you know, feed for you know, dog food and stuff. So this is gonna This is a trip right here. So I had a body shop man for years, and I used to lead cards at the store. So when all the people here, everybody in the world is here, bro from Japan, you name it, man and uh, they would come to my shop. It was a rumor, but I knew it was true that it was a sasquash. Up in my neighborhood. I stayed at the beginning of a river, and the river comes through a military base and that goes across the highway and then it opens up again.

26:32 So I stayed. I was living a neighborhood was like a horseshoe with the creek going through the back through in the middle, and everybody backyards was connected to the creek and the room. Because I was telling you about the trash piles and the landfill to see him alive up there, and the rumor got out, this is it right in the middle of everybody in the world is here. I met a lot of people, man. So people were coming to my shop and I'm like, uh, I'm such and such. We want to get access to your lot because I had the only lot that was clear all the way to the creek. You know, the barographs some people somebody. Some people went halfway or some people's like, you know, half the way, but mine went all the way to the to the end of the creek and that was separate both sides of the wood that clear, and everything that came through that had to go across that area of the yards and you see, you know there whatever it had to go across there to go back off in the woods. So, man, it had got bad. Man, the rumor had got out. The lady actually owned the store.

27:37 She was like, you know, telling them because they had the cameras on her every day. She went from making like twenty biscuits a week to like two thousand in. Just a couple of days. No way, So it was real. It was very loaded. And uh, Matt lives directly across the street from that store. So the people kept coming, man, and it really got bad. Man, it really got bad. But it was coming to my mom house and stuff, and we were like, you can't go through our yard and get to the lot. And it really got bad. So I met man. I can't don't know if I want to say his name, but it's a lot of people. Man, I met so many people. I mean it was man, it was twenty thirty people a day trying to get to that lot.

28:21 And I know this guy. They just say, well the man I can don't even know the abbreviation, but the head of the association x y Z. I met this guy and he's like he was down here to see the big Foot and all of this and that, and he heard rumors, well there was one up up the street. And I told him that, yeah, I know one that is in my neighborhood and it's by this house. And if you go, when you pass the house, you look behind the house, you'll see a shot done leaning up against a tree. And I remember, like I was older then, I was out in the woods at that time. So I was coming through the neighborhood.

29:04 It was like a church on the back street from the mom house. And I saw a bunch of kids out there, and I saw a truck out there, and I was like, uh, pulled up, like what are y'all doing out there with that guy? And one of the guy, one of little kids, said he told us he would give us one hundred bucks that were showing where the big Foot was at. And another one little guys, he's like a little batter than they rested up me like, I told him a thousand dollars. So I pulled over the lot and I was like, a thousand dollars. I pulled over to the lot and it was that guy you remember talking to me at the store. I was like, yeah, I remember talking to you, like I rode by last night, right before I got dark, and I saw it. He was like, I got another meeting somewhere up the road or up north for something like that. Up the road and he was like, I only got a few hours to get it. So while we was talking, he was showing us about this gun. He killed everything everywhere, and he had a gun that was made. He showed me a bullet. The kids were out there as well. He was like, this will get them. And the bullet was I remember. The bullet was the long it's from your index finger to where your wrist started. I forgot what it was, but it was a big long bullet. So that this these people, I was them like everybody over the world that remembered that two thousand and eight. But for things they had to come across me because everybody had to.

30:18 They was. It was a scramble, and I remember him telling the gun so right at the right when it got dusk. He always come out at the corner of the woods at that man house. This was the guy that left the gun. It was like it was so big, got tired of play some boys on his patio, and the thing walked through there and crack his boys and stuff. You remember them telling them one time he said, shit, be about it's got to be about sixteen hundred pounds. So the guy, sure enough he got darg and with the kids, had to get ready to go anyway. He was like, I was like, okay, it's coming around the corner, so go around the corner. He's seen it. He should have seen his eyes. Man, somebody somewhere, a big shot gonna remember this story. He probably have told it to a lot of people, and today they get back to him. Everybody can He ain't nine, he's not live.

31:05 So when I saw it, if one thing that I knew about it, if if when you see one, if it's kind of closed out and open, if he's got his back turned to you, he already getting ready to disappear on you. If you turned sideways, you can look in the direction that he's facing. He's gonna be facing another one his back turn. That's gonna be the train. That's gonna be the line. There's gonna be one behind him. They all like look like goose. One always got a head up when the other ones got it down. They're gonna be looking at the line. If you face the face, you startled him, you ran up on him. So uh he God, damn man, that man jumped down on his knees. Man, I'm talking about he was digging up dirt. It's a little creek to go o beside it. You know, had much room without seeing them, and I saw I wanted to turn his back on. He's getting ready to get done.

31:51 So he got up on him, man, and I was back. I was some few yards back, and I heard him. He was like, hey, man, I got a shot on they nobody tree. And I was like, you can't shoot up there, man, because this is where everybody live. That's my mom lived there. You can't shoot in that dreation. You gotta get You gotta shoot this way. And the way that he's gonna shoot is gonna actually go through the woods. If the tree don't stop it, go across the highway and go up into the military to the military base. But uh, he got up on the man. It was steady falling the dark and was steady falling on him. Man. He was like, man, I got a shot. Man, I got a shot. Man right by the tree. And I already know where get by a tree. It don't probably disappear or something whatever we do behind a tree. I knew if he got if he didn't shoot it before I got that tree, it was gonna be no chance. So man, he came out, it got dark on man that came out the woods man.

32:38 He was like, hey, man, that's the most you know. It was the biggest thing that ever happened to him. He was like, Man, I'm gonna remember you. I don't know if I had internet or whatever, but he gave me his name and he's a big shot, big shot and uh he's like he had to go up North Virginia or something like that. Man, and he shook our hands and everything. Man, he went on about his business. Man, it's been so long since I had to actually think. About this man. They kind of like they zapped me. But Witten, Man, I know that guy. Actually remember being at that school. Man one day we was just talking. You know, I'll go pick up my son, and he's finna pick up his daughter. And he was like, man, you know, I'm finna do something. And man, he was like he came back. Man, he had got cleaned up and had got his haircut and stuff.

33:22 Man. He actually looked like somebody would be from a a Hollywood star. I was like, man, you look like man, you look man, you look great. Man, like a Hollywood star or something. Man. So he was a good guy. And everybody involved in there after you read the other you know, you read the stuff. Man. They watered it down a lot because it was so much news press. Man. I mean it was hundreds of people in this neighborhood and everybody trying to get up in this color sack to get this big foot and regular I seen him and Mark, you know, and they was always cool. And when when I heard about that, man, I knew for a fact that they got that they know about them. They seeing it in my community. It's no big thing over here. Everybody was old and stuff like that.

34:08 We all know about it. We growed up with it, man. We didn't grow up with the stores. We growed up actually seeing it. And I'm going, what about one to say, man, Oh, this is the crazy part now. And we got all the best hunters in the world here, everybody, everybody that's some bigfoot, there's everybody that killed big game. Everybody in the world is here. And the lady that owned the store, she was actually giving the information because we kind of know where everyone of them, every one of them's at. And once she told them she there was one up the road, she was actually trying to get them off the one that's right there across the street from them. So when she sent them up the road, that's where I'm at, and I was not letting a lot of people in so u Man, they had a whole like it was when something went big went down. They had one street block a bunch of big fox by fox trucks and stuff man guys all on man. The sheriff had already told me they can't have guns. So they got crossbows and bow and arrows, and they got another street. They got them blocked off.

35:13 And stuff man. At the end of the street. I'm on the facing street, and you got to come through my yard to get to the end of the lot. If you come from the other people houses, you gotta come through their front yard. To get to the back, so it's almost impossible. And once you get to one side of the creek that Jason the mine, it's a bunch of bob wine stuff growed up. So you can't just come from the other side and come up in there because you can't get through it's so thick. That's what I caught. The gunman, you know, the rifle man don't tell you about. He was on that side, but he had to go around and come around, and I showed him how to get in. But them guys didn't know that. So, man, this was one of the funniest things. So this day they had everybody had this thing. Man, they knew about. They knew about. This was gonna be at the guy's house with a shotgun at the tree. They knew it was gonna be there, and they knew it was gonna be the dust. So everybody had the things around and somebody's seen it and he kicked the whole thing off.

36:03 So I remember one of my friends I went to school where we played little league football and everything, man, and he rolled up. He was the one organizing it. Man his name was and he had the whole crew. He knew about that because we like I said about the basketball goal, they just come over there in the community. We used to play in the same at the basketball goal and see him down at the end of the field. So when Kenny pulled up, I mean he had a truck load. Man. They were like, hey, man, we'll. Get you first. It was like get two hundred dollars to go through the yard. I'm like, no, man, I can't do that. They were like, well, give you five hundred dollars. Man. They were going in their pocket. They had it something. They had it, man. You know one guy. They ended up getting the close to two thousand dollars. Man. Hey, and I was like, I can't do it, man, because my mom, you know my mom. When she came to the door and he saw my mama, man, they burnt out. He told everybody to pull off, pull off, pull off, pull off.

36:58 My mom. Oh boy, she came out there with the stick or something. Man, they can about bringing all the people to the house. So he went up the street man with that truck and they went to my neighbor's house. They don't go all the way. To the back. It might go like one three fourths and listen at this man, this is true story. These these people names they Man, they can identify me. Man. It's then they especially at that same what happened to Matt Hey, Man, he is a good guy. Man, He's a good guy brother. So Man, I know if he hear this story, he gonna want to reach out to me and just talk to me. Man. And he got a lot of people down here, man, like my mom and a lot of people in the community, man, that were really rooting for him. Man, and know he's just kind of disappeared. They got a lot of people around here. Man, it's just actually want to know what happened to him. But back to that story. When the guys passed my house, they went to my neighbor house.

37:49 So I mean we me and the lady at the store is already tripping, laughing like we got the best big foot of the hunt in the world. And they got the big footsitting right there. And it was actually about three four blocks at the school at the end of the football field, and everybody is man, cameras, Man, they got the cameras twenty thirty feet up in the air. Man. Stuff is everywhere. So when these guys pull up next past my house, they take off running down my neighborhouse. She got a lot of tree stumps, trees been cut down, and at the end of the life is probably about the fence. I don't even think the fence is six foot. Man might be five foot. But these guys jumped out the truck and took off running through their Man, it's like a Western you know people they be running down the mountain and falling and kept you know, jump back up and keep going. They took off down her yard. Man, So they was jumping tree stumps and everything. Man, I mean they were running and one of the guys he had this little you know, you keep your arrows on your back and the backpack. So while he running, his arrows are just falling out. My mom was at the door. Man, we are just dying laughing. I mean, they were getting it down that hill. Man, the house white all the situationd told my house like, up on the hill, you gotta run down to the creek and man, his stuff was falling out.

39:01 Man. And when they got to down there to that fence, that fire foot fire. I mean, they were getting the man. You just we were like, they're the best big funnels for. Hunt in the world. They got the whole neighborhoods around him. Man, you should have seen them trying to get over that five foot fence down there. Man, they got a lot of cutsuit buying and stuff on. Man. All they took them forever. Man, I mean they were all tangled up. One was trying to help the other one. Man, I mean it was bad. They couldn't even get over the fence. So we didn't like just dying, laugh and washing the guys. And the guy that arrows were following, he was the last one, so he helped everybody, and that he took off through the woods. They didn't have too much fun to go to. It was that whatever up. After he got over the fence by itself, everybody didn't nobody help him. They took off. He got his throw this bowl, I forgot it was a bowl, across bowl, a cross bowl or something, but he threw it over the fence and when he got ready, when he picked it up, all his arrows were behind him. So he had to struggle to get back over the fence that all of them had. They took him too get over the fence. He had to struggle to get back over the fence, run back up the hill, pick up his arrow, run back down the hill, and then and you know, trying to make it back over the fence to catch his parkers. So we were like, all the best big foot hunters in the world can't even get over six foot fence.

40:14 We tripped. I mean, that was the funnest thing. But of course they got dark and they didn't get it. So after that, man uh uh. I think right after that, man, they was like, it's a hoax. And the sheriff man, I think it was a cheff of the chief. The chief of police was like, hey, nobody over there with no crossbows, guns, nobody hunting, and you know, they kind of broke it up. It was everybody went on forever until they just said it was a host. And I just checked that out, man, just a few days ago after you first time talking to you, and I was like, let me see what happened in that man, And man I saw rick I said talking about it. The men in black came in and took the bigfoot and left them standing there. And I believe every scenele bit of it, every single bit of it. If them guys hear this right here, man, they know who I am, they I can vouch for him, but I don't. Hey, I ain't got no reputation there, so I can't real there's no repetition about this. But that story is absolutely true. I don't know about the men in black, but Mark Matt used to have trouble with that, going back and forth to the school with his daughter, and he actually act on it to get it. So that's something man that if you I don't know how important this is, but that's a true story. So if anybody know anything about the two thousand and eight bigfoot of was down here in Alana, it's in Rex, Georgia, man, anybody anybody around.

41:41 I ran to a lot of people. Man, they probably a lot of people that got this story and don't told somebody nobody never really don't believe it. But I don't here to vouch for you. If anybody you hear anything about being in Rex two thousand and eight and they chasing bigfoots around, it's true. And the funny thing about it was, man, we had everybody in the world down here. I met a lot of people. Man, it's just a little I make a right man to drive two minutes. I'm at the store, and that's all of this, that's all. That's death. I met a lot of people man in there. That stuff is true, and they are seen how they whitewashed it so bad that when you try to look up anything, you don't see anything about that.

42:22 Man. I took a lot of pictures, man at a newspaper. Man, a lot of pictures with different reporters. I had a few interviews with them. They were just talking to me because it was nothing to do at this store. Man. I can't find none of that, bro, everything is gone. But everybody was around there at two thousand and eight there when they was going to release it. Man, I met a lot of people, man, and I believe them, guys. I actually found one and I believe what they said was true. Wow, that's that's some wild stuff. Thank you for coming up again for sharing that account. I appreciate it. Yeah, thanks man.
