00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.320
Welcome to the Bigfoot Society. In
this episode, I talked to Eric Pelacios,

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.359
a Texas based filmmaker and an investigative
journalist. Eric shares about FOYA requests

3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.839
and how these can be done in
the field of Bigfoot. Please do your

4
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.280
due diligence and your own research before
embarking on a FOYO recovery journey of your

5
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.440
own. If you've submitted a FOYER
request regarding Bigfoot yourself and have results you

6
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.239
would want to share, please reach
out immediately to me after this episode.

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.000
Remember, your information could be the
key to unlocking this mystery once and for

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.280
all, so please don't hesitate to
contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.520
com. All right, big for
Society. I've got the privilege of talking

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.600
with mister Eric Pelasios tonight. He
is a indie film producer director with a

11
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.039
background in investigative journalism. I've been
wanting to talk to him for a while.

12
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.560
Eric, how's it going tonight.
That's one pretty hug Jeremy, thanks

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.719
for having me on man. Oh
absolutely, I'm going to give you the

14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.079
reins right away. One thing we
want to talk about is you've had a

15
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.240
really interesting encounter and I know my
audience loves to hear people talk about their

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.959
encounters, and we've got some really
important things to talk about at the end

17
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.879
as well. Those that are listening. You want to make sure you hit

18
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.680
the entire episode for sure, But
Eric, go right ahead. Man.

19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.719
Yeah, So, I really don't
think I can talk about my encounter in

20
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.239
full without kind of describing where it's
located. Where here and the media Central

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.239
Texas area, to be a little
bit more specific, It's Williamson County and

22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.079
we are part of the Balconies Escarpment, which is like a mini Grand Canyon.

23
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.760
It's actually visible from space, and
it has creek runoffs, caves and

24
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.040
a lot of underground aqua. First, and I've lived here pretty much for

25
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.359
my entire life, and that kind
of feeds into an encounter that I did

26
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.719
have in twenty eleven. And twenty
eleven is a strange year because that was

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.920
the worst route Texas had ever faced, So there were a lot of water

28
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.120
levels that were lower than normal,
a lot of caves had been exposed,

29
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.519
and access to a lot of places
that were normally off limits. And we

30
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.879
took a short walk from my backyard
into the Brushy Creek where a lot of

31
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.879
this stuff happens. And like a
normal summer day, it was June,

32
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.719
we'd been out there fishing. It
was about six of us. We caught

33
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.680
a lot of fish that day because
there was pretty much a trickle into pools.

34
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.199
It was so bad that drough was
just that bad. It just trickles

35
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.319
into little pools filled with catfish and
bass and stuff like that. So we

36
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:29.000
caught a lot of fish that day
and probably there for about six or so

37
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.159
hours, and it started getting dark
and as we were leaving, there was

38
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.000
about six of us there walking single
file. Because it's the slope area along

39
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.319
the Brushy Creek. We were in
a deeper area than we would normally be

40
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.919
because the water was so low,
so we were walking up at an angle.

41
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.400
And the best way to describe it
is we heard pretty much like this

42
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.919
massive sound like an elephant coming through
the brush and for whatever reason, we

43
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.599
couldn't lay our eyes on it.
It got really close, it had to

44
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.960
be, with it about ten feet
of us, and we were six big

45
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.680
boys. We had stuff to take
care of ourselves out there, but we

46
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.759
were all trembling little kids out there, and this thing was just crashing through

47
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.599
the woods. I would associated with
someone turning the car scareo up on a

48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.680
metal song and it just keeps staying
louder and louder and finally have to reach

49
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.680
out and grab them out to turn
it down. That was where we were

50
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.360
at, and one of the guys
I was with bent down and grabbed a

51
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.439
rock and threw it in that direction, and we never heard anything after that,

52
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.159
and we walked that way across the
creek and we made it back to

53
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.560
our house. Really didn't think about
it for several years after that until we

54
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.919
were all together and we started talking
about it, and one of my buddy

55
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.759
was like, oh, man,
where could that have been? And I

56
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.879
started doing the deep dive here in
my area. And there's been a long

57
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:53.560
history of bigfoot sasquatch activity dating back
to the eighteen hundred, so so much

58
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.400
so. There's a road right off
the Breshy Creek called harry Man Road,

59
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.879
And that's not a myth, that's
the actual name of the road. The

60
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.560
street science says it and everything,
and the legend goes there was a kid's

61
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:09.599
family passing through and covered wagon times
and the kid fell off the wagon and

62
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.879
he ended up being stronged lot there
and he became like a wild, hairy

63
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.720
man or whatever. And that's touch
story we grew up with as kids hearing

64
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.839
that, but I never really put
too much thought into it. I thought

65
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.040
it was just an interesting story.
And that is when I started doing the

66
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.759
research for my documentary The Beasts of
Rson Creek. I found a page in

67
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.560
a book from who a guy who
was actually the local postmaster in the area,

68
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.279
had he written a book and he
detailed the night of this event that

69
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.720
took place. It was in nineteen
sixty six. Group of high school kids

70
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.240
were hanging out on the Herringman Road
after midnight and one of the kids,

71
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.240
his name was actually Shorty Caldwell.
We have all the names of the kids

72
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.000
that were out there. Shorty Caldwell
was the name of the boy who got

73
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.879
stranded out there, and he says
that he tells this amazing tale of being

74
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.439
chased out of the harry Man Road
area by a giant, hair covered man,

75
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.680
a being, And he got to
school the next day and started talking

76
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.800
about it, and the story kind
of caught my wildfire, and a few

77
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.480
years after that it was officially named
harry Man Road, but it wasn't with

78
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.560
that. It's people that were opposed
to it. A lot of the old

79
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.600
timers didn't want that name for whatever
reason being attached to that road. Some

80
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.639
of the big, bigger names in
the community would be like c d Folks.

81
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.680
We have a school named cdee Folks. He was one of the people

82
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:36.319
that was crazing a campaign to rename
the road for Bluff and fortunately that never

83
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.000
happened. But long, long history
of that bigfoot activity in the area,

84
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.199
and I guess I'm with that encounter
that I had in twenty eleven unknowingly became

85
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.879
kind of part of what's going on
here. It's just it's so very interesting,

86
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.720
especially because you're close to Austin,
Texas. Right, Yeah, we're

87
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.399
a little bit Marik of Austin,
but not that far yet for sure.

88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.120
Fascinating and just to have all that
that bigfoot history. I love your passion

89
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:13.480
for investigative journalism. It comes out
very It just it comes out super quick

90
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.759
when you just start looking at the
different things that you've put together. And

91
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.160
I myself am a fan of that
because I have, as you can imagine,

92
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.240
I've got a lot of that myself. In fact, even tonight I'm

93
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:32.240
digging into reports from actually a place
in North Texas, Lake Texoma, up

94
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:39.399
by the Oklahoma border, and people
are reporting Bigfoot activity plus other things.

95
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.000
As a person who's investigating, you're
you've always you're always looking into something.

96
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.480
But I first heard about you,
Eric when I was looking into some FOYA

97
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.079
stuff and your Media Palace YouTube channel
had come up, and it is just

98
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.879
such a very interesting subject. Do
you mind sharing with the listeners? What

99
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:06.600
a Foyer request is request is a
Freedom of Information Act request and that grants

100
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:13.959
us information from any of the majority
of government agencies that I wouldn't say withholding

101
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.079
records from us. They just haven't
personally been released to the public. You

102
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.399
have to ask for these things.
If he can't, he don't ask,

103
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.480
you never know what the answer might
be. That's what a request is.

104
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.160
In a nutshell, It's a way
to get information pretty much. Yeah,

105
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.800
so interesting. And I've tried to
talk to someone on this podcast that has

106
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:41.240
done Foyer requests for Bigfoot related information. I've tried for years and I've been

107
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:47.519
unsuccessful. So when I stumbled upon
the Media Palace YouTube account, I've got

108
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:54.680
to talk to Eric. He has
been uncovering some incredible things. You uncovered

109
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.160
more information about the incident at the
Mammoth Cave Park in Kentucky. Do you

110
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.759
mind sharing a little bit about that. Yeah, that was one of the

111
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.720
more interesting cases of me doing a
FOIA requests. I had heard about this

112
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.000
in twenty nineteen, which is around
the same time I started getting into the

113
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.120
subject, and I was huge news. A CNN had covered it. A

114
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.079
bunch of the major news organizations I
talked about at least featured it on their

115
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.720
website, if not devoted a segment
to it. And so I was like,

116
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.680
Wow, that's interesting. And I
never really gave two sets about it

117
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.679
until I started doing a deep dive
into research and I was like, look,

118
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.480
it happened in a national park.
That information should be public because it's

119
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.960
federally it belongs to everybody, that
information at least. And I did some

120
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.720
digging on the national Park's website and
I actually found the incident number. It

121
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.440
was associated with the event that had
taken place, and for people to that

122
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.080
don't know what happened, the story
goes there was a man out there with

123
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:05.480
his son and they had witnessed a
bigfoot, supposedly witnessed the bigfoot, and

124
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.360
they were in such danger that he
ended up shooting at he fired a shot

125
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.919
at it. They were witnesses in
the area that approached the man, and

126
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.600
the man told him that he had
shot at Bigfoot, and so it kind

127
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.919
of spun out of control when the
media got ahold of it, and they

128
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.000
were all types of conspiracy theories and
a little bit of everything going on with

129
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.000
this. So I wasn't really sure
what I was going to find when I

130
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.440
did the four year request. But
with that incident number, I was able

131
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.519
to write a detailed four year request
of the information that I wanted, dates

132
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.159
and everything corresponding to the limited I
take place. So I did that and

133
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.440
I waited. I want to stay
close to a month before I got anything

134
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.240
back. But when I got it
back then it was a treasure trove of

135
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.600
information. We have almost everything on
this guy. Really. The only thing

136
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.919
we don't have because it's exempt from
a four year request, is the identity

137
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.960
of this person. But we have
pictures of the gun that was used,

138
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.960
We have the witness statements from the
when the police interviewed the witnesses that were

139
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.200
on location there. We have tickets
that were written to the gentleman the fire

140
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.279
of the web, and we have
a little bit of everything. There was

141
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:20.480
also two videos that the National Parks
had, but unfortunately they wanted over three

142
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.879
thousand dollars for those videos, and
I wasn't really comfortable forking over that money

143
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.000
without knowing what was on the videos. So I was like, yeah,

144
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.840
I'll just stick to the reports,
and like I said, we got a

145
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.399
kind of a treasure trobe of information
and I can go ahead and construct what

146
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.440
really happened out there. So the
guy was out there getting content for his

147
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.399
YouTube channel, and that becomes aware
of when you read the police officer's general

148
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.559
court statement. He says, hey, this guy was prior to coming out

149
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.480
here. We looked at or prior
to coming out here, he had made

150
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.480
videos on his YouTube channel saying that
he was going to come out to Mammoth

151
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.679
Cave and go bigfoot hunting, and
if anything happened, he's going to run

152
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.960
towards gigfoot, not run away.
Not only that, but we have the

153
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.360
report to where the officer approached the
officer asked if he had a weapon.

154
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.240
He denied having a weapon, even
though he had a gun hiding one of

155
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.639
the floorboards of his vehicle, and
he got cited for that. He got

156
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.759
cited for lying to a police officer, lyning to law enforce me. Now,

157
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.120
I don't know how much think he
would have in someone that's already lining

158
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.200
the police to believe their Bigfoot story, because when the cops approached him again,

159
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.879
he didn't say one word about Bigfoot. He just pretty much said that

160
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.000
his gun malfunctioned and he dropped in
his gun went off. Nothing about Bigfoot.

161
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.679
The only ones that remade that Bigfoot
information were the witnesses. There were

162
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.799
three witnesses that were there that had
been approached by this man that had claimed

163
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.559
that he had shot Bigfoot. None
of that happened. It was a complete

164
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.000
fabrication. Unfortunately. I really wish
the news agencies would have printed a reaction,

165
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.759
but maybe they didn't do the fully
request. They didn't do the foot

166
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.320
work. And I know people had
been working on this story for a long

167
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.639
time. Researchers in Kentucky had been
researching it and they were saying, oh,

168
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.080
it's gosh. They were keeping it
under routs and local sharf So the

169
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.080
local sheriffs don't have anything to do
with And it's a federal part. The

170
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.320
fans have jurisdiction over and in this
case, it was the national Park Service.

171
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.399
So that was my first big realization
when I started doing these spoiler requests,

172
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.799
actually finding some information and now I
think it's honestly safe to close that

173
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.720
file. We can close this one
and move on to the next one.

174
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.120
That was my goal while getting into
the spoiler request stuff. I wanted to

175
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.360
see if I could find any breadcrumbs
that might lead to other things like a

176
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.519
nine to one one call me or
a photo. It's been really interesting doing

177
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.720
the sployer requests and seeing some of
these results. And I have a lot

178
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.480
more than i've got coming up,
so I'm really excited to put out what

179
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.519
I'm working on. Oh, in
the documentaries you've got on your media puase

180
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.960
channel, You've got one on that
Mammoth cave and it's so informative. You've

181
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.720
got all the documents you can,
you've got the different things in the video

182
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.480
and listeners you need to make sure
you subscribe to it hit the bell so

183
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.679
you don't miss anything. And then
just recently you've got the video on you

184
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.399
got a nine to one one bigfoot
call from East Texas. There's some really

185
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.039
interesting comments in that video. That
one was a shocking I didn't even think

186
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.519
that was a real call. To
be honest with you, I had heard

187
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.440
about it through some secondhand stuff saying
hey, it was a big foot call.

188
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.600
It had taken place in East Texas, and I was like, oh,

189
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.000
whatever, it was probably just some
media stunt or something like that.

190
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.320
Someone made a post or something they
got picked up. I did the research

191
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.480
and I actually found again an incident
number and an incident summary report from the

192
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:54.120
Harrison County Sheriff's Department, and the
incident said that man calls Sheriff's office to

193
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.799
report bigfoot on trail camera. And
I was like, WHOA, that's interesting.

194
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.639
Let me see how far this goes
again. I wrote the four year

195
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.039
request. Having that report, member, I was able to put the date

196
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.720
and everything, all the necessary stuff
that you needed for a good four year

197
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.120
request. I was able to put
in it here, and within I want

198
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.320
to say, less than twenty four
hours, I got a response, which

199
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:20.480
is really surprising, and it was
totally legit. It was a call that

200
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.480
had taken place since the morning of
September tenth to the Harrison County Sheriff's office.

201
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.600
The guy is pretty much stating that
hey, I think I have a

202
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.679
big foot on my trail camera.
Who do I need to talk to you

203
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.320
about this? And they, oddly
enough, the Harrison County Sheriff's Office transfers

204
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.279
it to the Texas game Boarding.
That might not be odd, that might

205
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.679
be their routine. I'm still trying
to figure out why it was transferred over.

206
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.600
I haven't made it successful of finding
out why it was transferred, but

207
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.519
it was transferred to the Texas game
Boarding and a Texas game Boarding went out

208
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.600
there to investigate what was going on. I have the nine to one one

209
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.399
call. I have the call sheets, so we can construct a picture of

210
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.240
what took place out there. And
I do think it's interesting because it's not

211
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.600
an outlandish nine to one one call
that you've hear some other You've heard some

212
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.519
other bigfoot calls that are, oh, this guy's in my front yard,

213
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.080
we're all getting attacked or whatever.
I'm not sure if those are one hundred

214
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:20.440
percent legitimate. I have here the
folder that the USB was given on for

215
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.039
these calls. I hadn't, and
there was a series of three calls that

216
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.720
were taking We have the reports for
this is one hundred percent of legitimate big

217
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.559
foot nine to one one call.
It was real. It happened the Sheriff's

218
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.960
deputies were deployed to the area to
figure out what's going on. They took

219
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.639
the photo, and so we have
all of that stuff, and the people

220
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.879
who have seen the photo they ain's
interesting. I'll just say that it's pretty

221
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.440
interesting. And I'm working on the
video. It's going to be coming out

222
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.279
of my channel going into detail of
what the witness said. I spoke to

223
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.919
the witness. I have the unredacted
police reports, which is not normally the

224
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.679
case. Normally they were dact the
identity of the person, but I have

225
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.039
his unredacted. I was able to
reach out to him and at first he

226
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.200
was like, how did you get
my number? But I told him how

227
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.519
I got and he wasn't upset,
he was just surprised. He gave me

228
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.559
a little bit of a rundown on
why he called. And the background of

229
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.000
the game Cram being there in the
background of the area where he lived at,

230
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.960
and it's all really interesting stuff in
the photo. The photo, I

231
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.960
think when people see that, they're
gonna they're really not going to know what

232
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.000
to make of it. I'm interested
to see what people think when they see

233
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.399
it. And if you haven't heard
the phone call, check it out.

234
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.360
It's pretty interesting. Again, it's
to me it's one of the more credible

235
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.720
calls because the guy seems very calm. He just wants him know what to

236
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:41.320
do with this photo, and yeah, it's I think it's really interesting and

237
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.840
I'd really like to know what people
think when when they see the photo.

238
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.879
So I'm looking forward to that.
I'm excited for the follow up because when

239
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.600
I watched that video, I was
pumped. Man, this is what gets

240
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:57.919
me excited. But the UFO community, I feel, does a lot of

241
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.759
for your requests. I feel that, unless they're just not talking about it,

242
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.359
I don't think there's a lot of
people in the Bigfoot community that do

243
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.920
foyer requests. What do you think? Yeah, I'm surprised there isn't more

244
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.200
people doing it. I think I've
seen one other person do a four yer

245
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:21.920
request for the subject. But you
would think people seeing this and you've heard

246
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.680
about these calls being made, and
it seems like it would be a more

247
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:33.400
frequent thing that law enforcement of some
nature would have some type of record of

248
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.680
calls taking place or emails being passed. Which emails, it's funny, I

249
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.880
can actually talk about this here coming
up. So I did a Foyer request

250
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:47.039
for the Snowcave Florida Scowcave in Mayachi
State Park, because I know there had

251
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.279
been some coming out reports coming out
and I was interested in doing that.

252
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.680
So I was like, Okay,
cool, let me do a Foyer request

253
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.839
for these Skollkak reports. And so
I did that, a request for the

254
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.240
I believe it was Florida Parks and
Wildlife or something for that effect, and

255
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.039
I wrote it up and said,
hey, give me any records you have

256
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.920
of a skullcape being reported in the
park, being seen or anything like that,

257
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.640
and not much Not long after that, I get a email saying we

258
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.160
have zero reports, zero anything of
skowcake for whatever. It's disappointed about that.

259
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.279
But I pretty much took the same
ployer request that I had written,

260
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.480
and instead of skincave reports, I
put bigfoot emails. I did that.

261
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:32.960
I got fifteen thousand hits when I
did that. So the Fish and Wildlife

262
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.839
of Florida Fish and WELDLFE, they
I have an email stating they have fifteen

263
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.640
thousand emails containing the word big footing
them. So that's a little interesting there.

264
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.960
So I'm working on getting a portion
of those emails. Unfortunately, with

265
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.720
that amount fifteen thousand emails. They
wanted to charge me about three thousand dollars

266
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.839
to get all those emails, so
I kept nailing it down. I was

267
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.079
like, how much for a thousand
I stay too much? How lenge for

268
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.160
you know, eight hundred student too
much? So I think we settled on

269
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.079
two hundred and fifty. That's what
I could afford right now. So hopefully

270
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.519
I'll be able to get the rest
of those at some point. But I

271
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.119
have coming to me, hopefully very
soon, two hundred and fifty emails.

272
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.960
Don't know the contents of them,
but they do relate to bigfoots, so

273
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.480
that's going to be an interesting find
once I get those, and I might

274
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.680
need some help digging into that.
I don't know, Jeremiah, would you

275
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.039
be interested in helping you dig through
some of those. I'm not going to

276
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.160
say no, my friend. I'll
never say no to looking through bigfoot stuff.

277
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.519
It's such a fascinating topic, the
whole Foya thing. I'm personally interested.

278
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:45.119
So two times you found incident I
think you said incident numbers on websites

279
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.880
regarding the situation, Can you go
into any details about how you were able

280
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:55.799
to find those or any tips regarding
that, Yeah, it's really just a

281
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.839
lot of digging. Man. The
National Parks they release their incident summary reports

282
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.240
for a year, for a yearly
thing. I think every I want to

283
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.720
say towards the end of every year. I could be wrong about that,

284
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.559
but they just released the one for
twenty twenty three and it's really hard to

285
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.599
go over. It's just like a
notepad, if you will, of documentation.

286
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.240
It looks like code almost when they
release it. It's not easy to

287
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.240
look through, but you're able to
find someone for some stuff on there.

288
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.519
It is not keyword searchable, so
that makes things in lave tetfork And the

289
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.519
other thing that kind of got harder
is that before, if you wanted to

290
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.599
do a folly request, there was
a website portal that you were able to

291
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.559
do that. It was provided by
the government. You could go on there

292
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.359
submit your full year request. You
could submit one request to multiple agencies and

293
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.480
you would get your you know,
oh we submitting here's the process or here's

294
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.960
where it's at now, and they
kept you up to date of how your

295
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.200
request was doing and where it was
at. Unfortunately, that website was removed

296
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.599
last year in September. So now
if you want to do a full year

297
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.160
request, you have to go to
the organization that you want to get that

298
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:04.359
information through us and write the email
detailed email. There's no portal for you

299
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.759
to check the process. You just
have to keep sending emails back, which

300
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.480
is a little disappointing. It did
make things a little bit harder, but

301
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.599
it's still it's still able. You
can still do it. And if you

302
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.279
just know, if you have something
that you want to look for, you

303
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:25.079
have some information, I would you
know, anything would help. But yeah,

304
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.119
it's coming a little bit more difficult, but it's still doable, gotcha.

305
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.640
I would really hope that more people
jump on it. I know,

306
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.920
like you said, the UFO communities, you're seeing a growth spurt with everybody

307
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.160
kind of doing their full year requests
in that area. And I think if

308
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.559
more people start doing this stuff for
BIGO, we would get some really interesting

309
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.279
information. I even think that let's
before I get into anything more, and

310
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.799
I'm going to have a disclosure before
the end, before the beginning of this

311
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:55.400
episode, if listeners choose to do
stuff like this, you've already heard that

312
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.519
there could be cost to do it, so do your due diligence before you

313
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.839
do a foier request, and you
are responsible, of course for anything that

314
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:11.359
happens. But I think that if
the Bigfoot community, if more people were

315
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.799
to do this like you were,
it could lead to any two things,

316
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.839
maybe even like more disclosure or who
knows where it could lead. No,

317
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.680
I agree with you. I'm looking
for breadcrumbs when I submit these foil requests.

318
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:30.359
I'm looking for phone calls or reports, obviously emails, anything that breadcrumbs

319
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.440
to something bigger. I'm really hoping
that maybe someone has like a video or

320
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.640
a really clear image that they shared
and hasn't gone mainstream or something like that.

321
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.240
I know more effects, but you
never know. I mean, I've

322
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.039
already got one picture doing a follyer
request, so it's like, what else

323
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.359
is that there? And I've only
been doing it for about a year.

324
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.079
We've got the phone call, We've
got the picture. I've had some other

325
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.799
reports. We talked about the mammoth
cable, and I can talk about another

326
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.200
incident that you know a chance It
was one that took place in Dinah Park,

327
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:02.160
Colorado. Okay, this was weird, Okay they I found this on

328
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:06.119
the National Parks website again, and
it did have a summary there and an

329
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:11.039
incident summary report number. The incident's
summary was like three sentences and it says

330
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.319
campers see pile of bones and claim
that I've seen big foot in the area.

331
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.200
That's all it said, really short
whatever. So I was like,

332
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.200
wow, that's weird. I had
the report number. So I wrote the

333
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.559
four year request sent to out.
I get back the typical National Parks leaflet

334
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.160
though the way they would send their
email back, the way it's structured blank,

335
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.720
completely blank, And I'm like,
what's going on here. I've never

336
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.319
had that before, and I've had
multiple requests I've done with them. Why

337
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.640
is it blank? So I look
at the email they followed that and I'm

338
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:47.920
looking through it and it says it
does say that there was big foo reported

339
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.039
there. People had seen strange bone
piles in that area. They reported to

340
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:57.880
the ranger. The ranger was medically
incapacitated to go out there and check.

341
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.079
They said, he refused to go
out there and check. And normally with

342
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.920
these foy requests for the National Parks, we have the name of the ranger,

343
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.680
we have the name of the person
that submitted the incident report. This

344
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:18.640
was completely blank, and I think
the reason they said it was medically incapacitated

345
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.400
is because they could use a HIPPA
exemption and not have to give out that

346
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:29.279
rangers information. To me, this
one was really weird. Do you have

347
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.119
people saying they saw this and you
have the ranger saying, hey, medically

348
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.319
incapacity. Is that really what happened? Or are they just saying that because

349
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.920
let's just even go all types of
ways with it here. And it was

350
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:45.160
smart for them to say he was
medically incapacitated because for that we'll never know

351
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.240
who this person was. Because it's
a medical condition or whatever. It falls

352
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:55.000
under the HIPPA exemptions, which Foyer
unfortunately does have some exemptions that you know.

353
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.480
And it's weird when you get an
exemption for bigfoot because it's like the

354
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.640
exemption and typically for national security,
ongoing investigations things of that nature. To

355
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.880
get one on a bigfoot exemption on
a big foot request, that's a little

356
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.400
interesting. I've had a few and
I could talk about that a little bit

357
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.599
later. But yeah, for whatever
reason, this guy claimed to be medically

358
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.519
incapacitated and refused to go check out
this big title that's a place in Colorado.

359
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.079
This is getting wild, dude.
Oh man, I got some questions

360
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:33.640
for you, can you walk us
through what in your mind makes a best

361
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.039
case scenario or successful for your request, Like how you go about that?

362
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.640
Oh yeah, that's a good question. If you can find an incident number

363
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.480
your goal. If you had one
of those, you're going to get some

364
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.920
information back. And if you get
an exemption for that's even weirder. I

365
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.799
think that's weirder than getting no information
if you get an exemption. But definitely,

366
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.440
if you have a report number,
if you have a date in time

367
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:03.400
of what happened, if you have
some context of what happened, names,

368
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:10.039
three street names, general areas,
things of that nature, what was reported,

369
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:12.799
keywords like that, bone piles like
I mentioned in this other one,

370
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.759
bone piles, things like that.
But if really, if you can find

371
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:21.839
a report number, you're going to
be in good shape there. Doing broad

372
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.519
searches like I'm doing now, Hey, good put emails or whatever, you

373
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.079
might be able to find some stuff
like that for sure. But again,

374
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.359
the way I structured them, I
was looking for certain information, so you

375
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.119
can just get bombarded with nonsensical like
email links and stuff from them saying you

376
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.039
know, oh hey this is all
we have or whatever. So yeah,

377
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.440
I would say, really, if
you have a day and time, location,

378
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.880
things like that, they're probably going
to be your best bet. If

379
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.440
you have an if you have a
report number, instant report number, you're

380
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.640
gold. Yeah, it's really just
And the other thing is you can just

381
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.039
throw some hooks out there like you're
fishing. It doesn't cost anything to do

382
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.720
for you. But if you want
the information, that might cost to something.

383
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.039
So it's going to get to a
point where they'll be like, yeah,

384
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:04.960
we have stuff, and if we
go any further, it's going to

385
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.319
cost you money. That's going to
happen. Yeah, exactly. And I

386
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.400
can go into detail on another one
that I digree So okay, and I've

387
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.200
been working on I should be getting
to some back here. Yeah, I'm

388
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.759
sure you're probably familiar with the Eastern
Bray Road the low Are you kidding me?

389
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:23.480
Okay? I did a dn R
request for the response in dn R

390
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.640
or whatever today. You know,
I want all the information you have on

391
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.720
I'm not going to give the keyword
away, but yeah, because it's still

392
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.240
an ongoing process, I don't want
it to get ruined. I said,

393
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.680
hey, I want all this information
we have on this stuff or whatever,

394
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.160
and they've been very responsive, and
they're saying, Okay, cool, we'll

395
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.720
give you that information, but we're
going to build you up front. And

396
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.359
I'm like, okay, wow,
that's kind of what could they have,

397
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:53.720
you know, fifteen thousand, one
hundred fifty you know, reports on this

398
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.279
stuff that's really interesting? Would I
be mad if they're like, hey,

399
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:02.759
it's going to be five grand,
but we have pictures and audio and all

400
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.160
types of who knows. I don't
know whodness. But I am working on

401
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.240
that and they've been very responsive and
I'm hoping it's not a crazy number,

402
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.319
and if it is, you might
see me on like a gofund me something

403
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:18.119
because I want that information, man, I definitely want it. And yeah,

404
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:19.799
exactly, people need to know it. Yeah, I know there's a

405
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:25.960
lot of people in the dog Man
community that would be very interested in what

406
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.279
the Wisconsin DNR has. Oh my
goodness, that's amazing. Eric. Yeah,

407
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.720
it's not only the Wisconsin DNR,
but I'm also doing the It's not

408
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.680
it's the city elk Man, it's
Woolworth County. I believe it's Wilworth County.

409
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.839
I did it for the Sheriff's office
there, and if I'm not mistaken,

410
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.359
I don't remember that. I believe
the gentleman's last name, I shouldn't

411
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.960
say his last name, but he
was featured in a documentary. He was

412
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.559
featured in a documentary about the subject, and he had mentioned this werewolf folder

413
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.960
they had. Now, if a
government agent, a government employee has a

414
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:03.680
werewolf folder, that's public information.
You can hide that. And so I

415
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.519
sent that out saying, hey,
I want that, I want anything and

416
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.359
everything. I'm like, here's a
clip of him saying he has that or

417
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.839
he wrote that, So you guys
cannot deny that. But employee says he

418
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:17.400
has that, and then multiple people
in the sheriff's office knew about it.

419
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.559
So I want it, and I
haven't heard back from them yet. That

420
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.920
was only a couple of days ago. But the DNR variouspons and they have

421
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.799
about twenty days to respond different for
your request, different areas. They'll give

422
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:33.480
you a deadline. And taxes we
have ten days Wisconsin, we have twenty

423
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.079
days. It's sticking down, man, kicking down. Well, get some

424
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.599
type of response. So that answers
one of my other questions. What I

425
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.200
was going to ask, you can
this be used for other cryptids? Too?

426
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.160
And I mean there's the answer.
You're looking at the dog man right

427
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.000
now. Definitely, I would assume. Yeah, I mean yeah, I

428
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.400
was never really sure about it until
I started doing the digging. And I'm

429
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:56.559
going to tell you about another one
here, and I might get some flack

430
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.920
for this one, but I have
documentation for work. Yeah, this one.

431
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.839
I'm sure you've heard about the LBL
stuff and all that stuff. Hold

432
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.640
on here because there's been a lot
of talk about that stuff, and there's

433
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.720
a supposed master that took place and
everything. I don't really I'm not sure

434
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.559
how I feel about that, and
I wanted to find out. Yeah,

435
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.079
And so I did for you request
on Hay and I wrote one that I

436
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.720
felt from all the information online fit
with the information I was looking for.

437
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.640
And it was a little bit harder
because that we really don't have anything solid

438
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.759
on that, so you have to
speculate a lot on that, and I

439
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.119
did, and so I sent that
in and I didn't get anything for that

440
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.039
time period, Okay, for the
time period, and I think they said

441
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:47.240
it was like late seventies, eighties, this this event took place. Didn't

442
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.440
find anything there, so I'm not
really sure about that. But I did

443
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.359
get a report from twenty twenty one. A man was fishing there in the

444
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.119
lake, and I have to report
your tooth. The man was fishing in

445
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.920
this lake and he reels in a
skull. He reals in a skull on

446
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.640
the end of his line and thought
it was a catfish. And we have

447
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.359
no idea who that person was,
how they die, anything like that,

448
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.359
but we do know this person fishing
reeled in a skull in that lake.

449
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.400
The police were called, the I
believe the coroners and everything like that.

450
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.559
They were all called to the area, and we do I have that report

451
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:27.960
with some redactive information in there,
but I was never really sure on the

452
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:33.519
LBL type of stuff, and I'm
still not sure. But finding that was

453
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.039
like, that's creepy and weird,
and no one knew about it. No

454
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.480
one reported missing or anything like that, So I really don't. I can't

455
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:47.000
really say anything other than what I'm
seeing on the reports, and that,

456
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.359
to me, that's pretty creepy.
You're fishing out there, you think you're

457
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.920
catching a big catfish, and you're
really in the human skull. Now,

458
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.440
I don't know about you, jeed
Ny, but when I go fishing,

459
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.200
I'm not thinking about really in a
skull. Yeah, that's not on my

460
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:07.279
goal list to get the skull.
Just a nice pass would be good.

461
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.839
That's incredible, and it hats off
to you to for really you thinking outside

462
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.160
the box. I thought you were
just a bigfoot guy, but man you

463
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.960
are. You're going all over the
place. Another cool thing I got from

464
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:22.079
that is that at the beginning,
we're talking about national parks, but you're

465
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:27.200
also going into DNR And I was
going to ask is so let's say I'm

466
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:32.079
from Iowa and I'm looking into certain
state parks or forests or something like that.

467
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:37.400
It sounds like it's just it's being
very You have to find the email

468
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.640
to send the request to, and
then you're just sending an email that says,

469
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.400
hey, I'm looking for things of
this nature. Do you actually have

470
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.119
to drop the phrase I'm doing a
foyer request or will they know what you're

471
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.640
doing? No, you have to
say this is a freedom of information a

472
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:59.039
request, okay under this statue.
And typically i'll name the statue of you

473
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.599
know, if it's a federal STAF. Actually i'll name the federal statue for

474
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.240
the foyer request. If it's statewide, you can find that online. I'm

475
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.519
not sure the one for I of
but yeah, you can find any It

476
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:14.440
is best to state that with a
four request you want to be as direct

477
00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:17.400
as possible. Again, like I
said, just changing a couple of words

478
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.720
can get you some information or it
can get you not denied. They don't

479
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.160
want to get you as they don't. They'll just be like, oh,

480
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.400
we have no information like that,
change a couple of words and then get

481
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.599
fifteen thousand results. So yeah,
it's an interesting gamble when you do one

482
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.279
of these foy requests where you're going
to get say anything. And I've had

483
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.119
some that said, like I told
you the Florida fishing game. They I

484
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.839
had multiple ones saying no, we
have zero on this, we have zero

485
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:43.519
on this. I'm telling you about
a lot of the successful ones. But

486
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.680
with that, there's been a plethora
of unsuccessful ones that I've had where I've

487
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:52.160
seen reports that have been reported on
the BFRO or the wood A Conservancy where

488
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.599
they have maps and stuff like that, and I'll look and see, hey

489
00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.200
there's anything reporting here, and I've
come up dry on a lot of that

490
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.519
stuff. For every ten you do, twenty you do maybe you'll get one

491
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.440
or two that has something that you
might be able to buy it on there.

492
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:09.880
But yeah, there's a lot of
failed ones for the ones that I've

493
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:14.519
mentioned. Okay, but we're still
getting information in here. That's the main

494
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.519
role we want to try and make
at least what I'm trying to do is

495
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.960
make this a little bit more serious
to where if I'm talking about it in

496
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.480
the public setting away from the community, people will be like, Wow,

497
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.800
that's really interesting and I can believe
you because you have the documentation to prove

498
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:32.679
it. And I think that might
draw in some more people. It might

499
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:37.360
get people changing their method. Maybe
I'm not trying to change the world,

500
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.599
but it would be awesome if more
people reached out and did some of their

501
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.840
own. Maybe they have some information
that an event that took place in the

502
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.000
area, and we can help them
do a four year request on it and

503
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:51.079
see what. I'm always willing to
help somebody out. I've got ideas that

504
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.360
I'm probably going to try myself.
And you said you can do this with

505
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:00.599
the sheriffs departments as well. Now
I've heard some people when they're looking to

506
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:05.840
see if a sheriff's department or police
department has info, they'll just call directly

507
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:09.119
and ask have you tried that route
as well. I have tried that.

508
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:14.760
The most recent one that I called
was an event that took place in Washington.

509
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.639
It was a siding that was supposedly
took place near a roadside, and

510
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:24.599
the news agency said that the witness
had contacted the sheriff's office, and so

511
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:29.199
I called the sheriff's office and said, Hey, I'm looking for this information

512
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.000
or whatever, and they're like,
no, we don't have anything on that.

513
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:32.880
We heard about that too, where
we don't have anything on that,

514
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.320
and you get that from other reports
that you're looking into. Again, I

515
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.039
don't want to hear any of his
feelings. But one of the bigger nine

516
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:45.519
to one one calls was the Bear
County in San Antonio of the homeless couple

517
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.719
that said they had seen a big
flat trumping through the woods or whatever.

518
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.280
So I did a full request for
the sheriffs or the police department there,

519
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.920
and they had no record of it. I'm not saying I'm not sure how

520
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.000
legitimate that might have been. I
know it was featured in like a couple

521
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:04.800
of films documentaries, but I wasn't
able to find any reports, any documentation

522
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.679
on any of that stuff. And
again I'm not trying to debunk this stuff.

523
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:09.920
I'm just trying to you know,
Oh, that'd be cool. Let

524
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.719
me get to the police report from
the guy went out there or something like

525
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:15.360
that, you know the call log. But yeah, you never know.

526
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.719
With that shrowing, it's able hurt. It doesn't hurt to ask, unless

527
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.880
they're gonna charge you an arm on
the legs exactly. Then then that might

528
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.360
hurt a little bit. But you
can always you can say no, it

529
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:31.519
sounds like it's not gonna come out
of nowhere on you thankfully. Yeah.

530
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:35.679
No, most places will tell you
in advance or when you write the four

531
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.519
request. I'll normally I'll write the
foyer requests. Hey, if there's any

532
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:43.280
charges of whatever, I'd like to
be informed beforehand. And that's probably the

533
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.079
best movie. He was just writing
back in the four year request any extra

534
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:51.280
building let me know. Let's say, let's take a hypothetical situation. Let's

535
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:57.199
say you were to look into a
certain you knew a certain area of a

536
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:04.199
state, a certain region of a
state was very squatchy. Would you drill

537
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.519
down, maybe look at certain counties, certain county sheriff's office, and then

538
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:14.239
go one by one or what would
maybe your plan of attack be if you

539
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.800
That's the way I've been doing it
so far. I've been going one by

540
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:21.360
one. Yeah, I haven't really
found any any other way to do it,

541
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:23.400
and I'm going one by one,
but one by one in a sense

542
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.360
of like one of the most reports
I've seen taking place in areas like that,

543
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:30.960
So starting off with maybe the more
populated areas, like you said,

544
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:36.119
most squatchy or whatever, starting with
those areas and working my way down,

545
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.960
but yeah, one at a time, sending them out with as specific as

546
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:44.559
I can and the information that I'm
searching for. And yeah, it's some

547
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:49.519
states are more or some sheriff's office
are more willing to accommodate than others,

548
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.079
and some are life. You didn't
fill out this thing properly or whatever,

549
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.599
so we're not going to do your
request or we're going to now your request.

550
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.840
But you don't really get that from
a lot of agencies. But no,

551
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.079
like I said, I've tried several
places here in Texas and I've had

552
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.880
a handful of success. And that's
a lot of counties in my area.

553
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:12.679
I'm not sure how many, but
there's a lot in Texas, a lot

554
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.679
of counties. So just working through
it and yeah, hopefully when I've done

555
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:21.639
with Texas, I'll move on to
something else here. I don't think listeners

556
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:27.320
need to realize it might sound scary, like calling a sheriff's office, but

557
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.880
I think if you're just honest and
like I've done this myself. I called

558
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:36.920
an office and I think it was
a Marshall County, Tennessee, and hey,

559
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.280
have you had any bigfoot reports?
And I actually was able to talk

560
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:45.079
to an individual that was involved with
an investigation quite a while back, a

561
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.320
few years ago. But he was
like, oh, yeah, I totally

562
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:52.920
went to that area. And sometimes
you never know what will happen unless you

563
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:55.400
just try, and there's no harm
in trying, but matter, yeah,

564
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.639
you no harm in asking, And
that's awesome that you actually got some information

565
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.280
from a oh like that that stops
to you. I was surprised. It

566
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.440
can be. Yeah, it can
be a min of scarity calling the sheriff's

567
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:10.440
office with we're attempting to find bigfoot
stuff or whatever, but you never know

568
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:14.840
they might be you might have someone
on the other line that gives you all

569
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.320
the information you need. So who
knows. I got some good ones,

570
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.000
man, I'm working on a few
every one of these, I'm trying to

571
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.400
make a video for Oh, I'd
like to do the Mammoth Cave video.

572
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:28.519
On the reci these, I want
to show the documentation for everything. Everything

573
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.039
I'm talking about, there's some form
of data, whether that be a phone

574
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:36.199
call records, eyewitness statements, things
of that nature. So we had I

575
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.920
did the Mammoth Cave one which showed
all the tickets of the guyline, pictures

576
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:44.199
of the gun. We even have
photos of his ID, even though they

577
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.679
were adapted. We have the pictures
of his ID pretty much everything. And

578
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:51.840
with this next one that I did
for Texas for the nine to one one

579
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.400
call about the same and we have
the call statements when the cop was out

580
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.440
there, I want to show when
the call got transferred, the nine to

581
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.960
one one call self, and the
photo. So it's yeah, I'm trying

582
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:07.599
to compile these into video essays that
if you will, just to give everybody

583
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.599
all the informations and we can leave
it where it is or maybe come to

584
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.000
a conclusion then move on to the
next one, like the Mammoth cable,

585
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.360
and I think we can put an
X into that one and move on to

586
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.559
the next one. So we're here
on this Texas one and the photo I

587
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:25.079
hope for maybe we get some video
analysis on it or photo analysis on it

588
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.880
to get a breakdown, and maybe
we'll get some more information on it.

589
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.800
I am planning on going out to
Harrison County, Texas to speak with the

590
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.159
witness, and hopefully that'll happen when
the weather starts getting a little bit better

591
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.760
here in Texas. Maybe you're on
spring So I'm gonna go out there,

592
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:43.960
going to go to the location where
the picture was taken and all that good

593
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:50.239
stuff. But yeah, I'm I
have a lot of information I'm waiting to

594
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.239
get back. And that's the thing
with the Floyer request is they can take

595
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.760
a few months to get back.
I think the longest one that I was

596
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.559
waiting for took three months to get
back. Wow, I was part of

597
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:04.000
the that was part of the Mammoth
Cave stuff. It took about three months

598
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.320
for me to get information on that. So it does take a little bit

599
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.679
of getting that stuff back. But
I think I have a lot of irons

600
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:14.519
in the fire that should be on
their way back now. So I might

601
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.480
have maybe a couple that I'm gonna
have to juggle to see which one I'm

602
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.519
able to put out first, but
the LBL one I might end up doing

603
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.360
sooner than later because I had got
that information about a year ago, kind

604
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.239
of kept it under my belt while
I was doing some more research. But

605
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:34.079
yeah, I mean I have the
report. It is heavily redacted, but

606
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.360
it's there, and I'm just trying
to get a little bit more information to

607
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.199
break it down to a video.
Yeah, that's one of the ones that

608
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.320
I'm working on next, and the
Texas photo one, so everybody's gonna have

609
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.039
a chance to see the photo give
their opinion. And I'm really excited about

610
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.760
that. Eric, You're I'm going
to be honest, You're involved with a

611
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:58.320
lot more cool stuff than I had
realized. That's this is very exciting stuff.

612
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.079
And yeah, thank you. I
appreciate that means a lot of coming

613
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.920
from here. I really admiring show, and you've had some really amazing guests

614
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:08.400
on in the production qualities. It's
awesome, man, So defically deserve everything

615
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:12.239
really good right now. Yeah,
for sure, appreciate that. Do you

616
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:16.719
have any fun investigative things you're involved
with in your local area. You've got

617
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:22.400
all these things going in other states, but anything going on home base right

618
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.840
now? Yeah, like we talked
about at the beginning, that Brushy Creek

619
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:31.599
has a long history of not only
weird Bigfoot stuff, I guess you could

620
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:35.800
say, but just a lot of
weird stuff in general. Like I'll give

621
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.920
you an example in my backyard,
childhood home I grew up in, about

622
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:45.639
fifty feet away from our backyard.
In twenty fourteen, they found three ancient

623
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.400
Native American bodies there. We have
no idea how old they are, who

624
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:53.800
they were, We have none of
that information. Unfortunately, because Texas there's

625
00:42:53.840 --> 00:43:00.239
a wall that allows the construction company
to hire their own just to examine the

626
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:05.360
body or the bones. So nine
times out of ten you're gonna get some

627
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.159
guy who's like, oh, nothing
to see here, go ahead and build

628
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.920
the road or the all them build
the neighborhood. That happens all the time.

629
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:15.880
Unfortunately, we have no idea how
old those people were, but would

630
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.920
engage an idea from another ancient body
that was found right along the Brushy Creek

631
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:24.559
in Leander I believe it was in
the nineteen seventies. They found an ancient

632
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:30.000
Native American woman along the Brushy Creek
and they titled it the Leanderthal Woman.

633
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:35.480
In nineteen seventies. In the nineteen
seventies, I believe they dated her to

634
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:38.880
about thirteen thousand years old. Now
that was back then. With the advances,

635
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.119
now it could be way older than
that. And that was just right

636
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.360
along the Brushy Creek, So people
have been in this area for a really

637
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.400
long time. The Tonka would tribe
would actually call this takachuwe Puetsuit, which

638
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.840
translates to the land of the Good
Water. That's what they called it.

639
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:59.320
This was like the literal Paradise and
the Tonka they were an interesting tribe man.

640
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:02.400
They had full body tattoos, like
which you would think with the islander

641
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.880
culture. They had full body tattoos. They didn't really wear a lot of

642
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:09.760
clothing in the summertime because against crazy
hot in Texas. But once a year

643
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.679
they would put on a big celebration
for their deity, which was a giant

644
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:20.039
wolf, and they would wear wolf
pelts and dance around for a few days

645
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:24.599
and celebrate this wolf deity. And
that's all in the area that we're at

646
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:29.159
right now with all these thrones and
counter stories. And not only that,

647
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.280
but I can't believe I almost forgot
the Roman coin that was found in the

648
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.760
sixties they found a Roman coin right
along the Brushy Creek again, and it

649
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:43.159
was really strange because it was found
at the bottom of an Indian burial mount

650
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.079
and the person the found it took
it to the professor at the University of

651
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.400
Texas, and there was a little
bit of a controversy there because one professor

652
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.760
didn't believe it was authentic from a
Roman. He believed it was from a

653
00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:00.440
World War two veteran coming home and
had collected that a spoils of war walking

654
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.199
along the Brushy Creek and dropped it
and a road and grabbed it and burrowed

655
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.760
underneath, and that's how it got
to the bottom of an Indian now and

656
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:13.480
then that's his theory at least.
But the other professor knew the person that

657
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.480
found the Roman coin. They had
grown up together and been arrow hunting,

658
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:22.039
and they learned under the same gentleman
about how to relic hunt, and he

659
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.239
had seen it. He's one hundred
percent of believe that guy, and I

660
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:28.360
believe it, but there's none he
would lie and all this other stuff.

661
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.239
And the other guy, the professor
that denied it, he actually refused to

662
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:36.400
go to the area where they found
it. He didn't go there until it

663
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.559
were five years later. By that
time, things had already been constructed,

664
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:43.360
there was a road, some other
stuff. But yeah, just a lot

665
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:50.119
of really weird happenings along the Brushy
Creek area. And that's really what drove

666
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:54.719
me to do my first documentary was
just accumulating all this really weird information.

667
00:45:55.679 --> 00:46:00.920
And I didn't mean for it to
become a documentary. I just knew I

668
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:02.119
was gathering this formation. I wasn't
sure what it was going to be,

669
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.760
but and then becoming the documentary and
through that I actually found some more really

670
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.960
weird stuff that kind of ties into
the four year request. And I remember,

671
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:14.280
if you remember, at the beginning, I talked about four year quest

672
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.559
I had done in my area for
some big quit stuff that take I took,

673
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:19.760
and I can talk about that if
you want. It might get a

674
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.119
little spicy there there, Jeremiah,
I just got to throw your heads up

675
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.800
on that. We can go for
it and see what happens. We can

676
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.679
go for it. Go for it. I can always add if it gets

677
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:35.320
too weird, I just wanted to
check with you. Get a little okay,

678
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:40.239
So this in twenty sixteen, I'm
just going to be straightforward I was

679
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:45.800
investigating some bodies that had popped up
in the Brushy Creek. Twenty sixteen,

680
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:50.159
there were three bodies that, for
one reason or another, ended up in

681
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.719
the Brushy Creek to this name.
We don't know the identity of one of

682
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.280
the people. We have no idea
if it was a man woman, how

683
00:46:57.320 --> 00:46:59.960
old they were, we have no
information on that. The other two were

684
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.079
men in their forties. The police
and everyone has says they died. They

685
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.280
died from natural causes and nothing to
see here in no foul playing. Two

686
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:14.480
of those bodies were actually six days
apart, So it's weird that would happen

687
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.519
like that. And this was all
in the same year that the area I

688
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:22.280
lived, round Rock, was named
one of the top ten safet cities in

689
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.599
America. So you're talking about saving
the cities in America, but you have

690
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:29.679
a couple of bodies popping up in
the creek. Whatever. I started researching

691
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:35.519
that. And when I started researching
that, in twenty seventeen, for whatever

692
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.960
reason, we had a giant influx
of bigfoot activity. I guess you could

693
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.800
say that people were in groups Facebook
groups and now they're talking around town and

694
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:49.079
talking about things were taking place to
harry Mont Road had been closed for a

695
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.280
while. They said it was for
construction. A lot of really weird stuff

696
00:47:52.320 --> 00:48:00.079
happening, and that kind of culminated
into a gentleman posting a video of this

697
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.159
tall skinny thing. I haven't seen
a video, but everybody has told me

698
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.880
what they saw. Multiply you told
me what they saw. It was a

699
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:10.320
tall, skinny thing walking across the
creek in a certain area. And when

700
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.000
the reason I've heard about this is
because I was in a Facebook group saying,

701
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:17.639
hey, anybody heard me any more
information about this stuff going on or

702
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:22.239
whatever? This was later, This
was in my twenty twenty later when I

703
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.159
started working on the documentary and stuff
like that, and they said, oh,

704
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.559
you need to reach out to this
guy. This guy took a pic.

705
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.639
This guy took a video, and
he posted in one of these groups,

706
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.199
and he got in trouble and all
this other stuff. At least five

707
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.400
different people told me the name of
this person that about that video, and

708
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:45.440
at least five other people said that
guy had been hanged off, he had

709
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.519
been got in trouble or some weird
stuff going on. Who knows, not

710
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:52.599
really sure, But in twenty seventeen, this is a fact. You can

711
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:58.159
go and check it out. The
an agency. I'll say that an Alphabet

712
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:05.440
agency actually put about a reward for
the capture or information to the capture of

713
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:07.519
Bigfoot. This is all fact.
You can go look it up. I

714
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.079
have the emails that were sent from
the chief of police in my area to

715
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:16.119
an Alphabet person. Not only a
person. We know who this person was

716
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:21.400
because it was in the email.
This person that works for this Alphabet agency

717
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:27.239
was the head of that agency in
Texas. And I did a little bit

718
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.639
of digging on that guy. And
in his bio it says that he's in

719
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:40.800
charge of secret information and at least
ten overt a covert secret basis inside of

720
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:45.400
Texas. This is all in his
bio. This is public information. This

721
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:49.360
was the guy that the chief police
sent the email too. And then the

722
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.639
guy responded saying, Hey, we're
going to send you all types of anything

723
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:55.400
you need to capture Bigfoot. We're
going to offer a five hundred thousand dollars

724
00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:00.960
reward. Jeremiah, have you ever
heard one of these agencies offering a fake

725
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:07.159
reward? Yeah? No. To
get these emails, Okay, we have

726
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.079
them. It became public. It
was public and a lot of people were

727
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:14.320
saying like, Oh, this is
a this is a stunt for the local

728
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:16.559
community or whatever. But if it
was a local thing, why is a

729
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:22.480
federal agency offering a reward for it? Okay. Not only that, but

730
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:28.079
the same day that reward came out, the information about the reward came out,

731
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.079
there's a report on the BFRORO in
the same area, the same wording

732
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:37.639
that this agency put the report out
on. In the same area, there's

733
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:43.440
a bfr ROW report same date,
a very detailed encounter from a person that

734
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:45.199
I actually took me two years to
find out who this person was, but

735
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:50.880
I found out who he was,
and he had seen something going through his

736
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:54.000
trash or his composting that he had
in his backyard and seen something going through

737
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:59.559
there. This was the same day
the cy bulletin came out all really weird.

738
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:04.639
So it thinks you think the agency
monitoring that site and putting up fake

739
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.880
stuff or did they see it and
decided to put out a wanted for that

740
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:15.280
really weird stuff going on. Not
only that, but the next closest report

741
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:20.079
it was the next day. The
next day there was another report. There

742
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:25.480
was another report the next day about
ten miles east, someone had seen something

743
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:30.679
crossing the road and it jumped a
fence at one of our state parks,

744
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:37.360
Aboucony's State Park, which is a
really interesting, beautiful area. That's weird

745
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.360
because they don't let you stay overnight, they don't let you film out there.

746
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:44.519
There's no grown stuff out there,
really weird area. I would love

747
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:46.599
to do some stuff out there.
But yeah, eventually, we hope they'll

748
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:50.679
people do that there. Yeah.
To me, this is like a smoking

749
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:54.400
gun of stuff taking place. You're
having all these accounts. This guy had

750
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:59.639
said he had filmed something. Multiple
people had said, hey, we saw

751
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:01.920
the video of that guy film You
need to talk to this guy. And

752
00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:07.800
I reached out to that guy and
he said a very short word. He

753
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:09.159
says, yeah, I did.
I have all these emails and everything.

754
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:12.559
He says, yeah, I did
film it, and I signed a non

755
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:15.440
disclosure emit. Sorry, I can't
talk about it. Pretty much what he

756
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:21.079
said disure told the location. Yeah, yeah, exactly, all right,

757
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:23.920
and yeah, that's pretty weird.
Man. To me, this is like,

758
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:28.519
yeah, I don't want to say
too much about a cover up or

759
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.760
anything like that, but do you
remember I was talking about breadcrumbs, finding

760
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.159
some breadcrumbs there's a lot of dang
bread crumbs here, man, there's a

761
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:39.599
lot Why would a federal agency put
out a reward and a bulletin like that

762
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:45.639
from an actual not just an employee, but the head of the agency in

763
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:51.320
that area. What's going on there? Man? And five hundred thousand dollars?

764
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.559
That's you know, it's all really
strange and weird to me. Man.

765
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:57.920
And so I did a flower quest
on this, said, hey,

766
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.880
this is the date I have the
information. This really happened. Give me

767
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:07.000
the information and it was exempt.
Sorry, we can't give you that information.

768
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.599
Maybe we cannot give you that information. I'm like, what the heck,

769
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.360
why can't you give you that information? And they listed their terms and

770
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:22.320
this is either national security threat,
it's an ongoing investigation. There are people

771
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.360
that have of influence in the law. Possibly, there's a lot of really

772
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:29.480
weird. It shouldn't have been it
shouldn't have been an exempt. It should

773
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:30.639
have just been, oh, we
have nothing on that. That was a

774
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:37.840
joke or something that says to me
that everything that you said is probably true.

775
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:39.119
If they're like, no, we're
not going to give you anything,

776
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.840
that's nuts, dude. Yeah,
I've been trying to get an interview with

777
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:45.800
that person, the top guy there, the one who put out this wants

778
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:51.159
it. And a couple of months
later he retires, and now he works

779
00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:57.199
for a gigantic oil company as their
security or as they're whoever, they're big

780
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:02.599
in a big security drilling whatever.
I'm going to tag allegedly onto my last

781
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:07.400
statement just because I'm paranoid. Yeah, I told you I was going to

782
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.280
get a little I have everything for
this, man, I have the data

783
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:14.320
for it. This is real.
I have the emails people sent me,

784
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:16.079
the messages. I have everything.
I have the guy saying, hey,

785
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:20.119
I sang a non disclosure agreement.
I can't talk about that. He goes

786
00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:22.840
into a little bit more detail.
I really won't take too much on that,

787
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:25.199
but yes, yeah, he went
into some detail on it and gave

788
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:29.519
me a location where it was.
Okay, not only that, but we're

789
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.119
talking about twenty seventeen. I keep
forgetting stuff. Now it stopping in my

790
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:37.280
head. We're talking about twenty seventeen. So in twenty nineteen, I'm sorry.

791
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.800
In twenty eighteen, we had a
giant caving in one of the neighborhoods

792
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:45.280
off of Brushy Creek. There was
a caving and it went for I think

793
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:49.519
they said that they found man on
a finding like twelve chambers or something.

794
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:53.760
Crazy airflow down there and the water
down there, and I'll just say that

795
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:58.719
the person said, hey, I
had found something. The guy who took

796
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:00.960
the video said, hey, I
had found something. And I told them

797
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:07.159
about this area prior to the caving, this many months prior to the caving,

798
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:09.199
And I don't know if that has
anything to do with it whatever,

799
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:15.480
but it was really interesting and in
this area there are just so many caves.

800
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:19.679
While researching it, I found a
document from the University of Texas Perlunkin

801
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:23.000
group. They documented about three hundred
caves in the area. Oh wow.

802
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:28.719
Now they're estimating there could be around
three thousand caves undiscovered in the area.

803
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:35.639
Some of these caves go for a
really long way underground. I know there's

804
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:38.159
a cave in Long Warm Cavern,
which is south of us that they just

805
00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:45.440
discovered. These cats prestore cats that
are like three miles underground and pitch black.

806
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:47.400
They're like, well, how did
cats get back here? It makes

807
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:52.159
enough sense. They're trying to figure
that out too. Bones of them,

808
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:57.000
Yeah, multiple bones down there,
and they really couldn't figure out how they

809
00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:00.519
could go miles in the darkness like
that. Really weird stuff, but just

810
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:06.480
a bunch of caves, caverns and
weird stuff in my area. So that's

811
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.480
I am working on a couple of
more documentaries that should be out here soon.

812
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:13.320
That's the next one is pretty much
buttoned. Uh yeah, and it

813
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.199
takes a deep dive into the area. We're actually going into the Brushy Creek.

814
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:21.920
I talked to some witnesses that had
some really amazing encounters that are the

815
00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:24.039
typical Brushy Creek encounter. I want
to say typical, but it's the same

816
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:30.400
fashion of people being aggressively chased out
of the area. That's something that goes

817
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:35.719
back again to the nineteen sixties encounter
of Shorty Colwell being chased out of the

818
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:40.519
area off of Harryman Road. Almost
every person I've talked to had said it

819
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:44.159
was aggressive in one of us out
of the area, and I just thought

820
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.480
of another one that had happened.
I had got an email from someone that

821
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:51.840
said that they have heard about there
was a video up on it too that

822
00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.840
was removed. They had heard about
an encounter that took place off of the

823
00:56:54.840 --> 00:57:00.760
Brushy Creek in my county where a
school bus had stopped on stop next to

824
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:02.960
the tracks and something that came out
and hit the side of the bus.

825
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.400
The kids saw it, the bus
driver saw it. I was doing the

826
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.679
digging to see if I could get
some information on that, and then there

827
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:15.159
was a video kind of describing a
little bit of this. You can't find

828
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:17.639
it anymore. The link is a
good scrub from YouTube, you think,

829
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:22.079
or scrub from YouTube. And yeah, it was really weird, but so

830
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:23.840
I was trying to get someone on
that. But it is just like a

831
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:29.880
weird area, man, and not
just Bigfoot related. There's just a lot

832
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:34.440
of a lot of activity that I
probably shouldn't talk about that weird stuff.

833
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:37.760
Man. You know what, I
know Texas is your main goal, right

834
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:40.480
because that's where your home base is. Dude, Someday I would love to

835
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:47.639
see you just go into Oklahoma Bigfoot
and just yeah, find some stuff that

836
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.360
would be nuts. I've done some
I've done some little bit of digging there.

837
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.000
Oklahoma has some interesting foia logs.
I'll just say that, really they're

838
00:57:55.079 --> 00:58:00.440
not as easy to get some information. Yeah, Oklahoma and Louisiana they are

839
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:04.480
a little bit tighter and not impossible. But I haven't got any information after

840
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.239
yet. Really, but I haven't
done too many. I haven't done too

841
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:09.199
many out of Oklahoma. I've been
a few out of Louisiana. I'm I'm

842
00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:14.639
still coming up drying there. It
sounds like it's a challenging thing to do,

843
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:17.639
but the rewards are worth it if
you put in the time and you

844
00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:21.679
have the patience to do it.
Yeah, I think so. I think

845
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:25.519
we're starting to get the ball rolling. We're actually getting data that can be

846
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:30.480
measured in one way or another.
And that's my goal is to getting into

847
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.239
this. I wanted stuff that's solid
for people to look at. I didn't

848
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:39.159
just want to just come up with
more anecdotes and anything like that. I

849
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:43.559
wanted to do something a little bit
more solid, something a little bit more

850
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.519
concrete for where I could pass it
off to people that might be a little

851
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:52.639
bit better inclined to do some harder
video analysis or audio analysis or whatever,

852
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:54.639
and maybe we'll get some more answers
from it. That's really the goal,

853
00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:59.400
to get as much information we can, and I think one on the right

854
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:00.960
one on the right path. With
that, hopefully more people jump in and

855
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:04.960
start doing some for you. Next
thing email. We'll have a bunch of

856
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.960
phone calls, a bunch of stuff
looking forward to that and listeners, if

857
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:13.440
you have done a foya about Bigfoot
or other cryptids, feel free to reach

858
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:16.960
out email me Bigfoot Society gmail dot
com or put it in the YouTube comments

859
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:22.800
for this YouTube episode and I'd love
to hear about it. But Eric,

860
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.280
I want to thank you for coming
on the show tonight. I've been looking

861
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:29.880
forward to this one for a while. But do you mind sharing with the

862
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:32.800
listeners how they can keep up to
date with what you're doing, how they

863
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:37.480
can contact you if they have any
information they want to share with you.

864
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:40.320
Yeah. Sure, you can find
me on YouTube. It's media Palace.

865
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:44.920
That is my channel here on YouTube. If you want to email me,

866
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:49.480
it's Eric media Palace at Gmail.
Can also find that on my channel in

867
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:52.679
the description of most of my videos. And yeah, if you'd like to

868
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.639
watch the documentary The Beast and Brushy
Creek, it was in a detail a

869
00:59:55.639 --> 01:00:00.079
little bit about everything in the area
extreaming on TV Amazon. It's also on

870
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:05.440
my YouTube channel. I have the
other documentary, The Legend of Harryman Road

871
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:08.239
on my YouTube channel as well,
and that's a little bit more of the

872
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:13.920
stuff going on in my area.
But hopefully once I start getting more of

873
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.960
these full your request responses back,
you'll start seeing a lot more videos like

874
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:22.559
the nine to one one call,
like the Manoth Cave video on my channel.

875
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:27.960
So I'm really looking forward so putting
all the data I have out there

876
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.440
for people to dig through. And
again, if anyone's interested in helping me

877
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:36.039
out dig through some emails or dig
through some National Parks records, please let

878
01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:38.199
me know because I could always use
it. Air. That's awesome. Oh

879
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:40.760
man, thanks for coming on,
Eric, It's been a good time.

880
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:44.719
