Victoria is an individual that reached out to me through the Big for Society email with some interesting things to share. So it's a pleasure to have you on the show tonight. Victoria.

0:53 How's it going. Real good? Thank you for having me. I'm excited to get into it. You told me a little bit before, and I know a little bit about where we're going, so it'll be very interesting. But is there anything that the listeners need to know about yourself or the area that we'll be dealing with today where these encounters happened. First, I'm the type of person that seems to draw in all kinds of weird stuff, even paranormal. For some reason. It doesn't matter if I'm in a hotel room with their spirits there, they come out. It's just a bizarre life. Ever since I was well as far as I can remember, and my encounter, I'm about seventeen miles south of Buffalo, New York, right along the shores of Lake Erie. And this happened in my hometown here.

1:44 Fantastic, That's exactly what we need to know. So we're looking at probably that area south of Buffalo Erie County, all that good stuff. But Victoria, I'm going to have you go ahead and take us back to the first time that you started experiencing some weird things related to Bigfoot. That's the night you never forget. I was earlier that day. I was out and about doing chores at the stores. Looked down and told myself to make sure that you fill the gas tank up and blow and behold, I forgotten. I pulled into my driveway that evening and I couldn't believe my vehicle was below empty. So I'm like, no big deal, I'll do it tomorrow. So I'm getting ready for bed and I get a phone call from a friend who lives in the next town over and they said, hey, there's issues at the house. Somebody was drinking and they were out of control. And I'm like, why should I get involved in this, Well, listen to you. We need your help. And I'm like, it's like eleven thirty at night and I'm all ready for bed. And this person felt they really needed me. So I got in the car started driving down this rural road that very few houses were on, dimly lit, but there was a like close to a full moon, so fields and the woods they were a little bit lit up. So I'm driving down this rural road and I'll tell you it's between

3:15 two interstates, Route five and Route twenty. Okay, So anybody out there that maybe from around the area, they know exactly what road I'm talking about. I was the only vehicle on the road that night, on that spooky road, and I crossed over the tracks and that's when I noticed. I looked on and I'm out of gas with all my doing. All gas stations are closed, so that was the main concern. So I'm looking down at my gas gage and when I looked up, okay, a woodline ended and then it was like a farmer's field and it was cut down short all the way down like grass.

3:57 And to my left, I'm looking at this person coming out of the field that late at night, and I'm going, that's weird. But the weirder part was is how huge this human being that I thought was a human being? And it stepped right out in front of my car where it was a standard shift. So I started downshifting because what I'm looking at it made no sense because it was tall, massive shoulders, and hair from head to toe. And I'm going, your brain can't comprehend what you're looking at because you're thinking it's a person in a costume, but it's they're massive, a massive size, and he walked right in front of the car. Now I'm probably creeping to six miles an hour or so, I'm putting it in first gear. But then the reality of your brain can't comprehend what you're looking at, and it's a monster now, not a human being. And I'll never forget how bad I was shaking, and try to drive a standard shift and have your foot on the clutch. So I had to throw the vehicle into neutral because I would have popped the clutch and probably couldn't restart the car because I had no stinking gas. And so this thing is what kind of turns to a jwalk across the road in front of me. But he turns and he looks

5:28 at me, because in my brain, I'm going this is deliberate. He knew a car was coming, Why would he choose? Is his intentions bad? So of course you're shaking so bad you can't control it. And I even thought about doing a three point turn in the road, but knew that I couldn't because I popped the clutch. Because that's how bad your legs are, shaking your entire body. And at first, this is all happening in nanoseconds. This is all going through your brain. It's going to stop. It's waiting for me because it deliberately stepped out in front of my vehicle. Its intentions gotta be bad, and the size of them. All I could picture was him reaching under my car and flipping it over and grabbing me out.

6:14 What a way to go right, That's what I was thinking. What a horrible way to know. But the way he looked at me, and it was like eye contact and I'm just now just crawling almost to a full stop. He looked at me as if and I thought it was crazy until I started listening to like Dixie Cryptid, Cryptied Canada, Sasquatch Chronicles, and it now I understand. I know it sounds crazy, but it's happened to other people. It was a mind speak. I think it knew how scared I was. It looked at me, and I swear in my head I heard I see you. This is the way that I can explain it. It isn't exactly those words. It was just this knowing this. But it didn't matter what it said to you. You were still scared half out of your wits. It said I see you, you see me, and I don't care. It's something like that, But it still didn't make you feel better, right because but if it's lying to you and it's gonna wait.

7:27 So it ended up walking into the field across the street, out in the open, didn't even try to hide, because it could have went in the tree line, but it chose still to be exposed, and of course I'm trying to put the car back in gear to continue on, and I wanted to make sure it was far enough in the other field where I felt safe to step on it and get out of jock dodge, so to speaker. So that was a horrible experience, something I'll never forget. And so too long after that, I was coming home late from work and it was a heavy fog, really bad, dangerous and this was en Route five and that's four lanes to the point where you're crawling six seven miles an hour, and it's like all you're doing is focusing to the right, trying to see that white line, make sure that you're on the road, and you can only see three to four feet ahead of you in the thick fog. And again I saw from the waist down step in front of my car, two steps of massive, hairy body bipedal in front of my car. So I'm going with wrong with this town? What's going on? Because there's a lot more and I don't know if we'll even get into it, but bizarre things. So I was sharing this story at work, and this was in the breakroom,

9:01 and somebody brought up bigfoot something and I got credibility okay where I was employed, and I says, oh, that'sn't I said, hey, because I never told anybody except family my experience, and I felt comfortable enough in front of my coworkers say hey, I had one, and I went through it and the whole room was silent. It's never silent in this breakroom. So when I was done, a coworker, nobody was talking. It was silent, and she goes, hey, Victoria, I believe every word you just said. She said, I know every police officer in town and they all have had bigfoot encounters on that particular road that runs between Route five and Route twenty. So we have police officers here that have encountered these things as well. So I also wanted to share with you. So recently I was at a like a brunch at an ex co worker's house.

10:14 So we all got together and it was a big, long table. So there was three different conversations going on, and the one that was the one woman, young woman who was in another conversation, she heard what I was speaking with another one and she joined in and said, hey, what did you just say? We were talking about dog men, bigfoot? Whatever, and because their house is in the middle of a woods, just very frightening area if you asked me. But anyway, so we're sitting there and she shared an experience. That is just a quarter mile from my house, she said, And she's a school bus driver, and she said she was just awarded this brand new school bus run, so she didn't know the kids on the bus and it was I believe, her first day. And she's going down this one rural road, not the one that I had the experience on. This is another one closer to my house.

11:15 And there's a beautiful field there, beautiful surrounded by woods. It's about I'm going to say, thirty five acres. It's all open. Usually you see it filled with deer in the morning, dust dawned. Lots of deer, so many you can't even count them. Okay, I live in a heavily wooded area along the shores, like I said, of Lake Gary. So this is so anyway, she's driving her bus and this is she said. The sun was coming up, so there was enough light, but still dark. And she says she looks in the field as she's driving her school bus down this road. It only has a few houses on this road. She looks and she sees a dead deer in the middle of the field, and she's looking looking at it because something is leaning over it, something massive, And she said. She took her foot off the gas because she's going, what was that? And she goes, I can see that it's a deer, but I couldn't make out the creature that was eating off of it. And so I'm all interested in this ory because it's like right around the corner from my house. And so I said, what do you think it was? She goes, I thought it was a massive dog. And it's funny because we have a lot of coyote as well, and if there's a dead deer, it's going to be that group of coyote eating off of it. But no coyotes, she said.

12:40 She said it was hunched over where she thought it was a bear at first, and so she slowed her school bus down China. She said, my brain couldn't comprehend what I was seeing leaning over eating on this deer, she said, and then it started to stand up a little bit, and she said it was the most scary thing. So it's basically we don't know if it was a sasquatch or a dog man, because that's in Western New York as well. I mentioned to you this was a few years ago. So this is what I've learned from listening to sasquatch podcasts. But before I started listening to them, this only happened when my husband is out of town. Okay, I would hear chattering in the neighborhood. I live in a private neighborhood and I'm surrounded by summer homes where there's nobody residing there during the winter, and so i'd be by myself and I have a two and a half car garage. It's set up, he did. I got my monitors, my computer. It's a great place to hang out, and so I would go from the house to the garage.

13:54 But it's all private this area with all a privacy fence. And like I said, I'm surrounded by summer homes, so it's quiet. You can hear a pin drop if there's no wind with the lake waves going. So this was a quiet night and I came out through my mudroom door to go into the garage and it's only six steps and I heard talking, like two people talking. But it was so strange. No matter how hard I tried to focus. I couldn't make out a word they were saying. And i'ment, oh, that's weird. You'd think you'd hear at least one word. You got your hands cupped behind your ears, your focus. It was towards the path to the lake.

14:39 I live across the street from the beach, and it was coming from that area. You never hear anybody. Nobody's out that late at night. It was about eleven thirty, maybe quarter to midnight, and I'm listening to this conversation in the still of the night, and I'm going, man, that's weird, but how nice You're not alone in the world. That's what I thought, and brushed it off and was in doing some computer work out here in the garage. And maybe a half hour later or so, I went to go back in the house, maybe to use the bathroom and get a snack, and I stopped dead in my tracks because I still heard the talking. The conversation. Now, well, that's weird. Is so stinking cold? And who's up this late and still outside talking?

15:26 Right? And I'd stand there and you're just focused. What the heck, man, how come I can't hear a word? Make out a word they're saying, but I should be able to because it sounded that crisp, but it sounded like murmuring gibberish. So I go back in the house for a while and come back out and I'm like, they're still talking. But the entire time I was out in my garage, I kept looking up at the window in my garage with that strong feeling of being watched. When you get that feeling you're being watched, and I'm like, wow, that's strange. We never have any issues, so I'm thinking, man, there's no prowlers. Nobody gets away with anything in this neighborhood.

16:09 Everybody watches. And I'd be on the computer horrible feeling, and kept looking up at the window, which of course you can't see out it's pitch black. And the property on the other side of the hedges that we have, they're real high hedgerow. But now, mind you, it's like November, so no leaves on those hedges and it's just an open lot. Okay, there's no house there, and then you can see the beach from there. So I kept feeling that weird feeling. Went back outside to go in the house once again. They were still talking, and everything in sight said go back, shut the garage down, shut everything down. Something don't feel right. And I tried to get I got a pit bull, okay, protective pitbull. Do you know she wouldn't even come out with me walk in the garage.

16:58 I'd go, come on, let's go. She lifted up her eyes like you're run your own So that creaked me out because dogs know, and so I came shut everything down. Now. The next night, okay, husband's still out of town. I'm alone and it's late, and I come out the house to get to go to the garage and I hear somebody whistling. It was crisp. It was loud again, no wind, The waves on the beach aren't moving, so you can hear a pin drop in this neighborhood. And it was late again, and I'm listening to the whistling and I couldn't make out the tune it was. And I go, okay, whoever it is, I guess that's their own thing, and come back out the garage, go into the house an hour later, and sure enough, whatever that, whoever that was, I believed who a person was whistling, still whistling. I go, who does that. Nobody does that. Something right. So now I'm freaked out and I want to shut the garage down.

18:01 Now I'm too scared to go back out, and I tried to get the dog. I even pulled her collar and even told her, you want to snack. She never turned down. She wouldn't go with me, so I knew something was wrong. Still, come out to the garage, shut it down, and I went back to the door into the house and I'm standing there. I made sure I stood really close to the door handle, so because the whistling was continued, it still was going on, and that was like that ain't right, Something's not right here. So I had my hand on the door knob while I'm standing there, going, wait a minute, the whistling sounds different, and I'm really trying to focus my ears, and all of a sudden, I stood up straight. I realized it was coming from the other side of my fence. Something was there and it was watching me, and yeah, run in the house real feat asked dead bolts, everything else.

19:02 So I've had a lot of bizarre incidents. That's not the only one I could keep going. I'm not going to do that because I've seen things that I know I shouldn't have seen because I don't even know if I should go there. We didn't talk about this prior too. Let's talk about the bigfoot stuff first. How about that. Yes, that's some fascinating stuff because if you look at a map, which I'm doing right now, you've got five and twenty and you've got the lake, but then on the other side you've got that ninety interstate. Yeah, so it's to think that they're on the other side of the interstate in such like a relatively not big area because you've got the lake right there, but yet there's some wild stuff going on. If you've been saying that, Yeah, every police officer in the town has had encounters on that road, that unnamed road as well.

20:05 Yeah. I friend's husband was saying he was on Route five and it was snowy now and it was dark, and he said that something ran in front of his vehicle. This is close to my house. He said, he thought it was a big guy in a huge snowsuit. He goes, I think it was a sasquatch. That's the way he was handling it. A guy in a big snowsuit. It's four lane and he said it crossed really fast. I have a few questions about your initial road crossing sighting that you had. What year was that again, that was in the.

20:49 Late eighties, okay, and then every yeah, and other things have happened in between. Like I said, I got quite a few stories, but some of them are just like the one is really Bizarron. I always wondered because I know that they know what I saw, they know where I live, and it has something to do with the government. Something I saw that I couldn't have seen, like a portal type of Oh okay, cool, cool, Yeah, you have to whacked out windows. They're big SUVs, and I just had seen it and that was the only vehicle. So I'm like, I got my license plate because what I saw it freaked me out so bad, and I went i just saw something I wasn't supposed to. I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once again, I'm.

21:37 Gonna say, you have had some really interesting stuff happened. But about the eighties, the nineteen eighties bigfoot sighting, do you remember what color that it was? It was brown? Okay, yeah, he was brown, maybe the reddish brown. But the hair wasn't super long because this was the summer months, So who knows. Maybe they're like regular critters, depends on where they are, where they're going to shed. It wasn't super long, maybe under his armpits, like behind his arms. It was shaggy. I'm telling you, when you see it in your eye, your brain can't comprehend it because Bigfoot, like I said, didn't come to mind until afterwards. Because remember that was only in the Pacific Northwest, things like that. You would hear these stories.

22:29 And I even looked down. I saw him from head to toe, and yes, the big feet hair you know, over the ankles, but the eyes, I can't tell you. I don't know how much I saw because it was so shocking that I believe that at a shock that I couldn't remember the details because you just you thought you were going to die. You actually thought you were going to die in such a horrible way. How many steps did it take to cross the road. No, he I don't know if he was playing with me or what. He came straight out and then he jwalked, which caused him to stay in the road longer. And that's why I was wondering, is he just trying to get up a little head ahead of my vehicle to turn around and wait for me to roll, because, like I said, I was coasting. I was practically crawling with the vehicle and neutral, so I didn't pop the clutter and have the car shut off and I wouldn't be able to restart it because I was below e R. Yeah. Crazy, just absolutely crazy. No, So he stayed in there, He took his time.

23:45 Okay, so he's just hanging out. Yeah, I gotcha. Yeah, he wasn't in a hurry. It's like he was so relaxed. There were no other cars coming behind me or from Route twenty towards my way because I was heading towards the ninety that you saw on the map, but I was going to make a left onto Route twenty to go to that friend's house, which they did have gas to put in my take, So I made it home. And no, I did not take that same road home. I bet you probably didn't take that one for a while. No, absolutely not. I don't think I would do it alone at night because that's when the activity. There is a house, one of the homes there, a really nice home, and it's newer, and they are well newer. I'm going to say I don't know ten years they're back in the woods on that road, okay. And they admitted that they see it all the time because the tripp versus the creek that runs alongside their house. See, anybody that's from this area will knowes exactly where I'm talking about.

25:04 And like I said, I don't care. I don't care. They see it all the time. And in the winter after heavy snowfall, which nobody could walk alongside that creek. I've driven down that road in the daytime where you can see that somebody was walking along that creek. But if it was a human being, it would be a leg drag because the snow would be three four feet along that creek. And so there's a family there that said, oh, yeah, no, we see it all the time and we just ignore it. It's just he just cuts through, which I could be that casual. But what can you do?

25:47 How did that conversation come up with? Did you just randomly go up to their house or you knew these people from somewhere road? No, I would hate to say how Okay, yeah. Okay, okay, So you mentioned already that you didn't get to see the eyes, but did you notice any other parts of the face when it was in front of you in the road. Oh, it had a conical head. Okay, there's no doubt it had that, and it looked but I just you get to a certain point in fear where you want to turn your head if I'm not looking. He knows I'm not a witness, and you know what I'm saying, You get that feeling. But I didn't turn my head.

26:28 I didn't turn my head because I was in a state of shock and hoping that my It was like a horror movie. I thought for sure I was going to run completely out of gas and that's how he was going to get me. Wait for me and flip my carl. That's how big it was. I'm like me in this small little car, and the size of him, I'm puny, and so it was my vehicle. And when you see the eyes of his chest, his shoulders. But he had long, slim legs, like a slimmer that I remember. He was in really good shape, you know what I'm saying. Super long legs. Okay, so.

27:09 Upper body muscular ties, but still the length of them made him look nice and slender type of look. Okay, definitely from what you could tell you were looking at. It was a mail you've mentioned or referred to as he multiple times. You know what, I honestly I didn't see it. I just I picked up on it that it was mail. I know what. True, But maybe I would see it. Like I said, you're in such a shock. I believe that like it's buried. It's like certain details are buried. Yeah, I say him all the way to the end. It's it was a hymn.

27:51 The shoulders How long or how wide would you estimate the shoulders were that you saw? Yeah, because when he turned his head, he moved the whole upper part of his body. It wasn't just his head turned. It was he stepped out into the road. First of all, I watched him walk through the field. That's what made me take my foot off the gas. Why is this person in this field this late at night? Are they honestly gonna walk out in front of me? So I think it was his first step, which was a big step. He did one step in front of the vehicle, and he turned his body, like his whole upper body turned to me and almost like a nod.

28:40 I know it's so weird, but hey, I see you, you see me? And I'm in my head. I couldn't comprehend why this was going through my head until after listening to I just started listening to a bigfoot podcast the past few years, and that's when I put two and two together with the voices that I was hearing, the whistling I was hearing. I never would have thought it was a big foot until I heard other people's testimonies and what they experience the same thing. This is exactly what happened to me, and people saying, yeah, you can't make out anything that they're saying, but they sound human, and so I go it had to be that. Because also what I've learned listening to these shows with people with multiple experiences is that once you have a sighting, they can't explain it. They know where you live. Have you heard that before? There's like a built in GPS, you have a connection like for a lifetime that they know where you're at.

29:46 I will say that I do know what you mean. Most people will say that they have a sighting and then stuff follows them home or there's a hitchhiker effect, and yeah, definitely heard about that, and that can be that can show itself in that there's blatantly bigfoot activity around the home, or that there can also start to be other paranormal stuff that happens around the home too. It's very strange how it all seems to be connected in a weird way. You're neck hading. Listen. While I was in the garage, I had two tas, okay, and they'd like to come out in the garage with me. And this was probably six years ago. And there's a corner of my garage. Okay.

30:38 Like I said, it's two and a half so it's a nice size. There's no vehicles in here, just the fridge like a kitchen. It's heated, it's got everything, okay, But there's one corner of the grudge. When we bought this house, there was bizarre things happening and then it quieted down. But there was a corner of the garage. It was always creepy. You had this bad feeling. And let me tell you right now, there's three little lights in that corner. Because I was told by this Oh my gosh, I just love her, this black woman from Mississippi. I told her some of the stories that happened in the house, and she goes, girl, let me tell you something you need light in every room. Little night lights.

31:20 Never be in a completely black dark room because whatever is here will come out. I believe her, and I'm telling you for years now, I've had lights in every room because of what was happening in this house after we bought it. Whatever, it wasn't too happy that we were here making changes. But there's something, and I'm pointing to it right now, the corner of the garage, which is lit at night, where you would feel something coming out. And I'm telling you, those two Whiles would run to that corner with their hair up, gums, teeth showing, barking, then back up like something's walking to it, like teasing them back and forth to the point where you go, I'm out. You get up, and I would walk out and call the dogs. And you couldn't call those dogs off of that corner. So something was happening in the corner of that room. But I'm telling you people, if you're having any issues seeing shadowmen in your house, make sure that there is a light in every room. Little night light never had the darkness because we all know that expression that added evil grows in the dark. Yeah, I've had many bizarre incidents throughout my entire life. And I think I've mentioned if I even go into a hotel room, it doesn't matter what state. It's in San Diego, Louisiana. Oh, and even local here. There's a town Dunkirk with the hotel people. If anyone's out there, the hotel on the lake,

32:54 there's a marina, and I spent the night there with my daughter. She had an exam a school out there. Yeah, I was going to mention the name of this school, but never anyway, what awful, just awful, the experiences in hotel rooms to the point where that time I told a manager, I said, hey, we had an incident in a room, and her eyes were real big, and I said, listen, I don't know if you believe in spirits goes, she goes immediately. This manager goes what happened? And I oh, okay, And I told her and she goes, okay, you're not the only one on the third floor. We've been offering discounts, we're apologizing, and I'm going, oh my gosh, because you're thinking that someone's going to roll their eyes. The manager, I wasn't there looking for a discount. He needed to hear the experience my daughter and I had in that hotel room where and then she shared what other people see.

33:53 There's a college, Sunny College in fre Donia. That's the Dunkirk right along the Lake Dunkirk. There's a university, and something was going on at the university, she said, where they had to rent. All the rooms were taken that night, she said, but there's one room in particular on the first floor that we never ever rent out, she says, because the cleaning ladies can't even go in there. That's whatever is in there is violent, she said. And she says, we were filled to our capacity and we had to rent that room out, and all help broke loose throughout the hotel with spiritual activity, and it figures I would be there that night. That was bizarre. That was something out of a horror movie. But, like I said, just all these weird things. There was a show where we could talk about the paranormal. I got a show for you, oh for sure.

34:48 So it was like, so you weren't staying in the super crazy room, but your room sounds like was affected by just the fact that it would. The other one was stated, uh huh, oh. It's bed. Wow, my daughter's bed moving like the Exorcist. Yeah, and horrible foul smells like a lightning bolt, the room lighting up me and her screaming, and where I had her hold the door open. I said, wow, I never checked under the beds. Obviously someone's under it, but it was in case how they do that with the wood? So I checked under there, and still I'm going, did somebody were they able to remove the wood? Hide in there and put the wood back? But then I go, okay, there's one room next to us, and then the stairwell. Okay, So maybe I'm thinking I didn't know the hotel was filled to its capacity. I didn't know there was something going on at the university. So I'm thinking it was like employees messing with us in the room on the other side where there was a hole in the wall where they took a roomstick. So I wors my fingers behind our headboards and pulled no hole, no opening, no nothing.

36:07 And then like I said, oh, and this is the funny part. Okay, So that manager says we're not allowed to rent it, and we did that night. We have regrets, blah blah blah. And so my daughter a few months later and she had another exam at this school. So I said, hey, do you want to get a room in that hotel? She goes, because we had so much fun going out to eat and mom and daughter experience. And the reason why I picked a hotel room is because the school is so far from my house where I live, where you would have to get up at three thirty in the morning or something to get ready and get her there by like six thirty seven. So that's why we got the hotel room because it's closer to that school. She goes, Yeah, let's not get that room.

36:58 I said, But hey, just be quiet, I said, I'm going to ask, and it was different people working at the desk. I asked, and I think the room number, iikes is three twenty six. And if anybody's listening out there that's familiar with the hotel, it's where the stairwell faces a Tim Horton's coffee shop, okay, in case they ever want to get the room. So we go in. Different people working at the desk. This is our second night there, time there, and so I said, hey, we've been here before, and I says, I may have the room number wrong, I said, I said, is three room three twenty six open, not that I would have taken it, trust me, okay, And she goes, oh, let me see, and she's typing and I'm watching her face, me and my daughter, and she stops typing and her face falls and she looks at me. Funny, I go, what's the matter?

37:56 She want? I said, does it say it has spirits in there? She goes, how did you know? And I said, because we stayed there. No, I don't want the room, but I just wanted to see if they put that in the computer. And they did. Wow, that's incredible. Yeah. Yeah, So if anybody wants to have a spooky night, a possible spooky night, third floor, second from the last facing Tim Horton's. And it wasn't a good night. It wasn't a good night at all. Wow, that's wild. I want to maybe get back to Bigfoot for a little bit. Have you ever talked to your neighbors around where you're at to see if they've experienced things as well?

38:40 Like I said, the houses around me were summer homes. Okay, and I don't really socialize. I keep to myself, even though very friendly head conversations. But no, but I bet you there's got to be somebody because we're surrounded by woods. I have believe treed area somebody had to see something or possibly in denial until they can speak with someone that had an experience and go, hey, you know what, I did see something that wasn't right, Because I'm telling you this this whole area. Mm hmm. There's activity and they don't migrate. I don't know if it's one or is it a family, because if they're seen, it's always one, it's alone.

39:36 Okay, that's interesting. So is it usually a larger male or you're saying it's never or I guess I could. Are there ever smaller ones that are spotted or. Not that I know of it? Okay, one of these days, when I get the opportunity, I am gonna ask one of the police officers. I have to because and maybe they have an nice story. Likely yeah, we know where they live, but we're not allowed to talk about it. And if that ever happens, I'll share the story. Hey, maybe here's a fun little experiment for entertainment purposes only.

40:16 What if everyone listening contacted their local police department and asked if they had any bigfoot sightings reported or if they have a file with Bigfoot related things in it. And if you do reach out to me, I. Would say show up in person, because you get a call like that and you're like, am I being recorded? Am I on a show? Am I going to get in trouble? I would say, if you're friendly with some of them, or I would just go in and say, hey, look it. Listen. So I'll tell you this. It's depending on how you are over the phone as well, because I've done this before, and I'm giving a little bit of secrets out of the bag, but I've on this before. Let's say there's a place down Tennessee. I called a station and the guy that I got transferred to he had actually had a sighting himself when he was going around on patrol one day, and I was able to talk to him off record about his sighting, which was incredible. You really never know unless you try.

41:17 Right exactly, That's how I feel. It never hurts to ask or try. You got nothing to lose. Yeah, you're not gonna You're not going to get in trouble for as long as you're nice about it. And if they say they don't have anything, then just say hey, thank you, have a great. Day, do you have because I've heard podcasts with state police, sheriffs, you know, sharing their experiences, you know, actually seeing one that's cloaked and how it was moving around and yeah, hey, look out stories. No, I know it. Yeah, And I know for one hundred percent that there are sheriffs and police officers listening because I've heard about them reaching out to other people. And then I know for one hundred percent that park rangers are talking because they reach out to me, but then they never It's almost like they're afraid to follow through when I ask them more questions. So if you guys do want to talk or guys, you're welcome to definitely reach out. I will listen and it can be off record too. But so, Victoria, have there been any other out of the ordinary things that have happened in this area? It sounds like it's a really weird area.

42:36 Yeah, you know what. I was watching YouTube and you know how they'll suggest give you suggestions, And this was about six months ago. I went, oh wow, I said, So, if anybody wants to go on YouTube, it's called The Man Beast of Western New York. Yes, yes, have you seen it. I've interviewed one of the general and involved with that, I believe. Yeah, oh okay, there's some Native Americans given testimony what they think that is their experiences. And if you watch that The Man Beast of Western New York, you get to see the area that it is. It's heavily wooded, and then Alleghany, the Alleghany Mountains State Park, lots of activity there, and in fact, they bring it up, they bring it up in that in this little The Man Beast of Western New York that the camper's there from the Red House area, people camping are calling the park's police because there's quite a few sightings in that beautiful park which I always go to. I just absolutely love it there, and not too far from Pennsylvania, the Alleghany Mountains there, which they have an awful lot of sightings as well, very interesting, very interesting. So that's probably about it unless you have, like I said, the other bizarre things.

44:07 I don't know if I'm ready to talk about them, because it's it. It's it bizarre. Bo I totally get Yeah, no problem.
