Hunted in Waycross: Sasquatch Stalks the Camp

0:00 You're listening to Big for Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's guests didn't find Bigfoot in Washington or Oregon. She found it in the pine forest of Georgia, beneath the glow of a mysterious orb and beside a fire that burned too quietly. Angie Williamson had no idea what would happen when she followed a local tip down a dead end dirt road near Waycross. What started as a casual research weekend turned into something else entirely when the trees went silent and something big started moving in. And this isn't a campfire tale. It's a first hand account with glowing eyes, a vanishing cow, and a creature bold enough to come within feet of the fire. And this is a story of Angie in the night she left her tent behind. So stay with us, I Big the Society.

0:41 You've got the privilege of talking with Angie Williamson today. She is down there in Georgia. She's been a bigfoot field researcher for about four years. And also she's been talking to a large amount of witnesses down there, taking eyewitness reports. But welcome to the show. Angie, how's it going today. It's going great. Thank you for the invitation to come on your show. Absolutely. You know, I love talking to people from Georgia. It's a really diverse state. You know. When I talked to a field researcher like yourself, do you mind spending a few minutes talking about what got you into the subject to begin with?

1:27 No, I don't mind. Well, I mean I've always loved the subject, you know, as a kid, you know, your typical Leonard knee boy and start off and the legend of Boggy Creek, you know that sort of stuff. I've always just been fascinated. And like most people, I thought. There was one bigfoot, you know, that lived up around Washington State or Oregon. So I was very surprised when I began to come across stories of reports in Georgia. I was like, oh my So.

2:08 In twenty and twenty, I mean twenty eighteen, my husband passed away. So I ended up staying in a camper for a few months, just trying to navigate my life and you know, get myself together. And so I spent a lot. Of time on the Internet and I come across you know, bigfoot reports. You know, some podcasts and such, and. Just started really reading and watching everything that I come across. You know, you can only watch so much on Netflix, and I was just really interested in the subject that you know, me and my husband used to like to watch the show Finding Bigfoot, and that was, you know, one thing we used to enjoy talking about together, and it just got me interested in it. So then I started, you know, realizing there were in Georgia more and more reports and my mind was just blown.

3:12 So, you know, I would talk to people about it, but. You know, everybody thinks you're you're you're kind of crazy for even believing in Bigfoot, or at least that was my experience, you know, a few years ago. And I happened to be having dinner one. Night with a friend. It was a guy friend, a new friend I had met. He actually said, look, I don't think you're crazy because I seen one. I seen one and such as Georgia, and I was, you know, are you serious? Well, can I write down your story because this is fascinating to me, Like I just want to do like a report, because I had seen the reports like the BFR database and such. So I don't know why, just wanted to take a report on it.

4:02 So I did, and I decided to post that report in one of the bigfoot groups that I had found on Facebook. And I didn't really have any any friends in the subject, so I just posted the report just just to see what kind of action I got. I got a lot of good feedback on it, and one man reached out to me named Johnny Too Bears. He lives in Georgia, and he was wanting to you know, for my field research group, and he invited me to come out. So I went out one day, met up with him and a couple other men, just random men in the middle of the woods, and that's where it started. And after that we formed up a podcast and a research group called the Sasquatch a counter Brigade, and I met more people, and then I became involved with the Molena Bigfoot Festival and Molina, Georgia and met more people, and you know, as this is going on, more and more people's.

5:09 Like talking to me. You know, hey, look, you can't say anything, but this is what happened to me. But don't say my name, because you know, I don't want to be called crazy because my job, you know, could be affected. So just through the years. Uh, the more I put stuff out, more stories I write, the more I talk about it, the more. People I meet. So it's just kind of it's just grown. And now I've joined another group called the Seekers, and it's probably close to thirty members in it, and we're going to be doing a lot more stuff in Georgia. Uh, you know, fuel research and such. It focuses a lot on the Troop Herd core. So a lot of my stories now I'm trying to find more and more reports based out of that area.

6:09 Sir, you said it was a court a certain corridor in Georgia, the Troop Herd Corridor. I know I have a Southern accent. It's now the Troop Herd Corridor, all right. I've tooked that up. Is that by a certain town. It is actually made up of several counties in Georgia. It's Upson County, Talbot County, Meriweather County, Harris County, Troop County, Herd County, and then in Alabama is Chambers County, Randolph County, Tallapoosa County, and Clay County. Okay, it's a whole Area's got like UFO reports Bigfoot sightings strange likes, all types of mysteries, just you know, strange phenomenons often reported through this corridor.

7:19 That's that's that's very interesting when you when you first went out, uh, you know, starting to go out into the field with these individuals that you had met, was there a certain experience that you had that made you take it way more serious? You're you're like, oh man, this is actually real out here. Or were you already there before you you went out? Well, I was already a believer because I know people lie, you know, and I'm not one to believe everything somebody tells me, but not everybody is a liar. And a lot of these people when you talk to them, I mean, they know what they saw. There's no mistake, you know, no mistaken identity. They know what they saw. A lot of these people, you know, have been hunters all their life and you know, so they know what they saw.

8:17 So I was already a believer. And I really not technically a Noah in the you know, the sense of I've seen one class a sighting. But I did experience something uh several years ago in Waycross, Georgia. So it was when I was with Sad a Sasquatch, a counter brigade. I put together this little research project to go down for the weekend. I had a we had a man. His same was Kevin Crawford. He's passed away now, but he had reached out to us saying that they was were sightings happening there and he wanted.

8:58 Somebody to come down and that'stigate. So since I lived in Middle Georgia, I got picked to be the one to go down. So I worked with Kevin and I posted on some local discussion sites on Facebook looking for witnesses. You know, and of course I got roasted a lot. But at the same time, it's okay because in my in my messenger, I was getting people, you know, hey, look this is what happened to me. I'll meet up with you. So we had like a little town hall meeting. And like on that Friday night and had some witnesses come and you know, it went great. We camped that Friday night on Kevin's property, but it was lightly raining and nothing happened.

9:47 But the big night was going to be the next night. We were going to stay on a blueberry farm. So we got ready to go to the blueberry farm and it was four all of us. It was me, Scott. DeForrest, and a newlywed couple named John and April. And now I had never met John in April, this was the first time I had met them. But we couldn't get to the Blueberry Farm because dune buggies had watered the road out real bad, so we had nowhere to camp. So I was like, I don't know, I don't know what to do here we are, you know, I've got all these people down here and I don't even have a backup plan or where to go. I said, well, we can go to raftsim And State Park. It is just over the Florida line and camp there because I had gotten some interesting pictures sent to me from there.

10:42 So we drove there and it was closed on the weekend. You had to have reservations to camp, so we couldn't make reservations because the office was closed. So we were still stuck. You know, we had nowhere to go for that night. And I told him, I said, well, I do know a place. I drove down here last weekend on like a reconnaissance mission, because I mean, I didn't know anything about wait Cross. So I did drive. Down the weekend before just to kind of look around and try to, you know, get an idea of what I was going to be dealing with, you know, that following weekend and I had found a place. It was a dead end road where you can camp, and i'll tell you where it's at now. It was the Dixon Memorial check Station. It's a wildlife management area, so you can camp there. And so I told him, I said, I know a place. It's not that great. It's not very far from town, but it is kind of in the woods, you know, it is kind of back there, and it's a dead end road. And I mean it's on the way back home anyway, So when we get there, if you don't like it, we don't have to stay.

12:02 So Scott kept saying, we're going through all this for a reason, you know, And I was like, well, I hope, so I hope something we see something, because this is you know, nerve wracking. So I take them to the camp site and they're like, well, yeah, you know, this is better than nothing. You know, we're already here. We might as well camp and see what happens. So John and April went back to town to get some things. Scott was looking around you know, just scout in the area. This had gotten later in the evening and this was in February, so I was scouting around, you know, just looking on the dirt road and just you know, looking at whatever. And John April came back. They put up their tent and we were just you know, finally got dark and we were sitting around on the fire. I have the solo stove that I like to take because you know, has less smoke.

13:06 So we're just. Sitting around the fire and April she was very scared, like I'm real scary, but she was really nervous. She had never been out doing anything like that before, you know, so she was just very hyper aware of everything. And I was just watching her, and you know, everybody was trying to calm her down. It's gonna be okay, April, you know. And when we go out, we see it like across from each other, and if you hear something, nobody points, nobody turns and looks. You just say, you know, something like I just heard a stick break at Scott's two o'clock.

13:48 So that's just kind of the position we kind of got in. And then she got and it's dark at this time. I guess it's probably close to ten o'clock and she says, what is that and she points up in the top of the trees in front of her and John, her. Husband, said what is that? That is an orb. And then Scott saw it and he's like, that is an ORB. Well, I got my phone out, I want to, you know, record it, and I can't see it. I can't see it, and so we all stand up and it starts moving and it goes down the tree line and we're following it, and then when it gets to the corner, it turns on the tree line and comes up the other side. You know, it's like a rectangle shaped campground, so it makes the right hand ninety degree turn.

14:52 So we come up that way following it, and I still can't see it, and then it gets we get to the road food and when we get to the road where the tree line ends, then it jumps. It looks like it jumps down out of the top of the tree about chest high. That's when I can see it. So then we all watch it float across the road through the pine thicket until it was out of sight. So we're really freaked out because it was I mean it blew my mind. So we're all excited. You know, I can't believe, you know, we just got circled by an orb. So we sit back.

15:37 Down and a little time goes, you know, on, and nothing else really happens, and here a strange sound and owl, which is common in the field. And then April says she heard something scratch the back of their tent and she decides then that she's leaving. She's not going to stay. So John decides to leave with her. And so I looked at Scott and I was like, God, that means that she's gonna be me and you here. And when I said that, something behind me.

16:20 Growled. Well I didn't realize it was a growl. It soundeds like and I know this sounds stupid when I say this, but it sounded like an old two, I mean four stroke motorcycle that somebody's trying to crank down. In the woods. It's like a like an old motor trying to trying to rumble, like turn over. And that it confused me because I was thinking, what is that sounded? It sounds like a motorcycle somebody's trying to crank. And I looked at Scott and he said, did you hear that? I said, Yo, what was that? He said, that was two growls? And I said, oh, now, hold on, April, I'm leaving with you. So Scott said, well, let's just all lead together. Everybody crank your vehicle, let's all pull around, shine your lights, we'll pack up everything and we'll all leave at the same time. So that's what we did. And you know, I had a bunch of water on the back of my truck, so I easily put out the solo stove and was able to put it on the back of my truck and was packing up everything. And when I go out like that, I make myself a little portage on because you know, with a pop up tin, I'm not going in the woods. So I had to take that down and I had my truck pulled around, and you know, everything was running, everybody's lights was on, and I was looking in the front seat of the truck just to make sure I hadn't forgot anything. I was like, okay,

17:53 there's my my fleer, there's my recorder, there's my phone. And then I noticed this really bright reflection. And when I tell you bright, I mean brilliant white. In the first clump of trees inside the campground. And then I was confused because that light or reflection had not been there before. If it had been, I would have seen it, but you know, and so I have this really strong flashlight and I shined it down there, and I walked, you know, outward, trying to shine down in the woods to see if I was seeing something in the woods.

18:38 And I was just confused. So I asked God, because he had pulled up behind me, I said, come here, and he walked over there. I said, is that eye shine? He said, I don't know. I guess I'll walk down there and see. And this was about forty yards from us. So when he got about halfway, and of course I'm thinking he's just gonna walk down there and de bok that. I mean, I wish to God I would have had my phone out recording. Why I did, I don't know. I just I guess I just assumed it was gonna be nothing. When he got down there, and he had about halfway, and then he started backing up and then he started running to his.

19:22 Truck and he was like, we've got to get out of here now. And so, of course, you know, I jump in my truck and we all leave, and when we're leaving, Scott holler's you're not going to get that tent now, And I thought, what in the world was that about. Anyway, So we get to the end of the dirt road and we're let's go find up a place to just sit down and have some coffee and try to talk. So we found like a waffle king or something, went in and just discussing, you know, everything that had happened will come up find out Whenever we had first gotten there and Scott was, you know, walking around, he had found a tint that had been drug up into the into the woods that still had an air mattress in So that's why he made that comment, you're not getting the tint this time. It's because for some strange reason, there was a tint drug up in the woods that still had an air mattress in it from some previous campers.

20:25 So that was really weird. So yeah, that was that was my, uh, probably the most scariest thing that's happened to me in the field. So that was as close as I personally got got into something. That's Yeah, that is that is intense. Did he ever say what it was? That that made him book it back to his truck. He said, when he got closer to it, dropped down and turned to its right, and when it did, he saw two us. So, you know, and part of me was like, but what if we were wrong? What if like we let our imagination get away with us.

21:18 What if. You know, you just got that, what if we were wrong? Just you know, I knew what I saw, but something still told me what I could be wrong. So I had the opportunity. That's November. That happened in February. I had the opportunity in November to drive to Brunswick because my niece lives in Brunswick. So I said, well, we're going to go through way Cross because my daughter and my aunt was right in with me. I said, we're going to go back to the place where I had this incident, and we're going to see if there's anything in that tree that I could have saw. And it was about ten o'clock when well, I took them in there, and it was really creepy.

22:02 And I'm telling you, there. Is nothing in that tree, no type of reflector, there's nothing in that tree that would have could have been mistaken for that. So it did happen and all four of us saw it. Wow, So, uh, that's that is wild. Have you ever done any more research in that area? Well? Yes, we went back a year later and we took more people with us because we felt like they you know, Scott is very well seasoned in the field and he's taught me a lot, and he felt like we didn't have enough people, and they were whatever it was was very bold to just keep coming in on us like that.

22:54 I mean we were obviously leaving, and yet it still wanted to come out of the woods and get his close to us as it possibly could. So we wanted to go back and take a few more people. Of course, so we had some friends that wanted to experience it. So when we met up, they had clear cut the whole area. I mean they had left the pine, but all the hardwood was gone. So that weekend, I mean we didn't even see a squirrel. Nothing happened. So hm hmm, that's that's right. We tried. Yeah, but that's why now I'll tell people where it was.

23:35 It was a Dixon Memorial check station. It's because we've already been back, and I mean, I hope something does happen to somebody we see something, you know, to report again down that way. But and I did get a few reports after. That because I had you know, posted my report in our group, and I had a couple of people cont hack me. Well, one woman she had saw something with her grandchild and she just googled, you know, bigfoot sighting in Georgia, and she came across my article I had written and she reached out to me. So there's still a lot more sightings going on down that way too.

24:20 Now are these sightings in that same area then, or just in different parts of Georgia. Well, I talked to people from all over Georgia, but there's still sightings in White Cross, Black Sheer. That area interesting. And you know, I'm more familiar with the definitely the northern part of Georgia, because I talked to a lot of people about bigfoot interactions up there. But what is this area of Georgia, Like, this is south east Georgia.

25:01 Right Waycross is the Okefinokee Swamp. It's the very southeast, yes, close to the Florida line. It's where it's where the Okefinokee kind of starts. And then when you go I think through folks Son. It just gets bigger. This is very edge of the Okee Swamp. Interesting, so when when you do research down there, you're dealing with a lot of like swamp type territory. Well, where where we were, it wasn't swampy. It was a sandy you know, hardwood forest. So I never really went into the swamp there. Well, we was just on the edge of the swamp pretty much. I mean, I've been in the swampy areas in the troop Her Corridor, but down there, that was the only overnight research that I did. There was that one weekend and then well then of course a year later where nothing happened.

26:16 Have you done any other overnight research trips around the state in different areas. Yeah, I've been to North Georgia, but nothing happened. We just wouldn't. We're not lucky, you know. Most of time when you go out, nothing happens. And I have done several overnight camps in the troop Her Corridor and we did one last weekend and. It was it was pretty good. We call it a success because for two nights in the road in a row, we had strange lights show up up at camp in the field during the day On Saturday, we kind of split up walk into the swampy area, and we had tree knocks that followed us down to the swamp and back. I mean, it was very obvious tree knocks. It was a very loud limb break just inside the darkness at camp that Friday night.

27:34 I mean, if it could have been a limb falling, sure, but nothing never hit the ground, so, I mean we couldn't see anything. But it was a very loud limb break or tree break, but you didn't hear anything hit the ground, which was kind of odd. You just heard a very loud break and it was just inside the darkness. That is very strange, almost like wonderful. It was like breaking it off and then holding onto it, you know, that's that's very weird. Yeah, I imagined it like just holding it up in the air and just bending it and breaking It's what it's really what sounded like. I mean, I don't know what it was, but it was the first time I had experienced that. But the tree knocks was was really I mean, I ain't gonna say it was something hitting a tree.

28:35 I'm just gonna say it. Was definitely sounded like wood on wood, Whether it was a mouth doing it, or actually wood on wood, but it sounded clear Chris wood on wood knocks. We left camp because we camp in a field and the dirt road takes you down to the swamp, so. We kind of divided up. One team went you know, to the left, and me and three others kept walking straight toward the swamp. And then right after that is when we heard two clear tree knocks and it was me, Melissa A. Dare, her husband, and Scott DeForrest. And Melissa and her husband looked at me and we both said did you hear that? And I was like, yes, very clearly. So we kept walking and then we met up with Scott and told him what we heard, and we just kept walking and then it did it again. So that's when I knew it was following us. I thought it might be following the other group that had you know, branched off, but it was stayed.

30:00 With us, I believe. So we went into the swamp, you know, messed around, didn't really see anything. There was an owl that kept you know, hooting over and over, which was kind of strange in the middle of the day. But we came out and then we're gonna walk back to camp, and Scott said, hold up and let them go on ahead and listen, and then we're gonna out like we're going back to the swamp. If it's watching us, we're gonna confuse it or it's gonna have to make a decision of who it's gonna follow us or Melsten them.

30:42 So a few minutes Billy was at base camp. He radioed over. He said, did y'all just do some tree docks because I just heard three distinct tree knocks at camp and we said, no, we did not, But that's about listen to them. Should be coming up into camp an any second now. So I guess it went with Melissa and Jerry. So that's it's one of those things, you know, I have experienced similar things out in Iowa. Is it messages with you, but it's also it's pretty cool too. But yeah, in the time when you're experiencing that and you're like, Okay, well something's fallowing us, that's not really that cool. But that kind of freaks out a little bit. But do you have any ideas as to why there's so much strangeness in this one quarter area?

31:49 I have no clue. It may be a fault line. I'm not sure I mean to look that up. I have no idea. I do know that. You know the Flint River. I've gotten a lot of reports around the Flint River. I say a lot a few around the Flint River, and it's kind of on the edge of Mereweather County. And I know a meteor hit there, you know, millions of years ago and made the Cove Domes what formed you know, Warm Springs Georgia and Pine Mountain.

32:31 It formed those mountains. And there were some satellite dishes there that I believe it was Georgia Tech or Georgia State. One of them am used for years for extraterrestrial research. They were originally built by AT and T and then they were bought by the college and used for extraterrestrial research for years and now they're own privately. And they were actually in The Walking Dead if you ever watched The Walking Dead, they were the satellites that the. Saviors were you know, living in when they first came on the scene. So it's pretty cold, but.

33:15 You know, that's kind of like the edge and then it just spreads out through Talbock County. There's a documented werewolf buried in Talwock county. There's just a lot of strange stuff. It's like that scene in that county. You were saying, yeah, you can look it up. I can't remember her name. I can look it up right quick. It was a woman and she ended up getting shot. But I mean, that's not what killed her. But they were she had been to boarding school or something, and when she came back to the States, cattle was being killed and it ended up I think maybe her mother shot what they thought was the werewolf, and then the next day she has a hole in her hand. They were having, you know, a lot of problems with people, you know, going to her grave. She's buried in a private cemetery and now now it's off limits. You can't you can't visit her grave anymore. But anybody wants to look that up.

34:34 We're people trying to dig her up or something like that. I'm not sure, No, I well, I don't think so. I think it's just people just kept going to the grave. They interesting interesting see you have You've taken definitely your fair share of reports from Georgia. Are there any that that stick out to you that, uh, we're just really surprising, or that that you remember off the top of your head. Uh yeah, well I've got several. I have a mother and daughter that literally watched the dog band across the road in from front of women in Stageborough, Georgia. Have a family that the mother and both children watched the Bigfoot watching them while her husband relieved himself one night near Barnesville, Georgia. I had a really good story that I posted a few weeks ago.

35:47 A man sitting in deer stand watched a mother and child. He actually watched them hold hands and walk off. He you know, he got out of that deer stand and never hunted again. He quit hunting that day because any went back a couple of times I think with his brother in law to another property, but he gave up hunting after that because he just he just you know, didn't want to see that again. I posted a story I think last week, and it wasn't really about Bigfoot, but it was in the troop Per corridor and it was some strange lights and it was really creepy. They saw what little flames appearing in the woods and could hear strange language. I mean, there's it's it's a bunch of crazy stuff. I got one man he had a you know, some cows, and some hunters accidentally shot one of the owls, and he drug it to the back of his the property. And the next day, of course, his little boy was about five years old.

37:09 He you know how little kids are. He wants to see the dead. Cow, so he drives them to the back of the property and the twelve hundred pound cow is just gone, disappeared. I got a guy that he just went He was on his hunting property and woke up the next day on somebody else's property. No idea where the time went, how he got there. It's been checked out by doctors, and nothing's wrong with him. Oh that's why I didn't have a stroke, didn't have. And they could find nothing wrong with him. He don't even take medication.

37:56 There's a few posts that you've done that are are pretty interesting about what's called the Pea Ridge road Monster. Oh, yes, yes, yes, is. That anything you you might be able to share about a little bit? Yes, in the troop Herd Corridor. Well that kind of started because I remembered as a child hearing a story about the Pea Ridge Road Monster from an uncle he had married into the family, and I just never forgot that story. So after I got into this, I kept thinking about it, and I said, I'm going to reach out to him. Him and my aunt had had divorced and I haven't seen him in years, but you know, he has kids and they're my first cousin. So I just gave him a call and I was, I came out, I want to talk to your dad. You know, will he talk to me about what he used to tell about the Pea Ridge Road monster.

38:55 She said, yeah, he will. So they're arranged. And I called him up and he said, oh, yeah, I can tell you exactly what happened. Said that it was I think it was in the It was about fifty years ago. So his uncle, they all lived on this dirt road, well on Peeverridge Road up. I think back then it might have been dirt. But they lived in these little, small little houses and his uncle had con dogs. He came home from work, you know, it was after dark and it's getting ready for bed, and the dogs left the house like they were chasing something. And so he was listening and he said it sounded like they had treed something. So he put his shoes back on. He goes outside, he takes his gun and he goes to the sound of the dogs. Well, when he gets close to the dogs, they move again, and then they move again, and then they move again, and they're just going deeper into the w woods and he ends up standing on a He said, it was like an old put wood road, and all of a sudden, the dogs came back by.

40:09 Him, going back towards the house. And that's when he heard something coming through the woods that was huge, and he knew then he had to run, so he ran with everything he had and he was running so hard when he, you know, came back to Pebridge Road that he went past his own house and my uncle em they their house didn't have a porch on it, so he ran and just dove through their front door and landed in the middle of the living room, slammed the door shut and said, you know, he finally got the nerve to rush to raise up and just peek over the window, and when he did he saw it.

40:56 It was just a large black creature standing at the edge of the woods. So and you know, when he told the story to the the family, he said, I could feel the breath of that thing on the back of my neck when I was running, so I had type that report and I shared it in a in a Herd County discussion group, because that's what I do. That's how I get witnesses, you know, I'll share it and random places. And so I had some people message me and they were like, hey, look they people can laugh all they want to, but I've seen it, you know, or I had an experience with it when I was a kid, and so I you know, I did a few more reports and put them out, and a few more after that, and so I've ended up with two, three, four or five probably soon extra seven reports now on the Peerage road baunch, but that they span over fifty years.

42:07 Nothing is recent. It was just you know, this happened. And then one woman, she actually had three stories about it. She'd lived there, you know, generations of her family had lived there, and she shared a story that her uncle had been taken by one and he ended up being brought back, not brought back home, but taken to another road, and she shared the story about it. You know what of course that that man is deceased now, but that's a you know, family story. So you know, I wrote up about it.

42:56 And then. Her mother had a had an incident when she was a child seeing it, and then she herself had an incident with it, like in the eighties, so it's been around for years. One man that saw it when he was riding his dirt bike as a kid, had crossed the road in front of him and it was either his cousin or his brother, I can't remember, but he still lives there and he tells me that it comes back every spring.

43:36 You know. I don't what is it. I don't know. I imagine it's probably not just one creature. It's probably several different creatures and they're just seeing, you know, different creatures at different times, so I'm not sure. Yeah, I mean, and it could even be you know, some kind of of family group. You know. We don't know how long they usually live for really, but it is. I think it's even more fascinating when you have something like that that you have experienced in this where you have the same area, but you're having people semit reports from over like fifty sixty years. I think that is just fascinating.

44:21 I still have. A couple of other witnesses that I'm scheduled to talk to. I mean, I'm not scheduled yet, but they've reached out, and so I've got to get that scheduled and try to get some more information and put together their report. But yeah, those were, you know, just a Pea Ridge Road, Monstra. I probably got, like I said, five or six I think, based on just a peer Ridge road. But I've gotten several. I have personally have about fifty reports. Now that's all over that's not just troop Per Corridor. That's you know, all over the state. But I do have a good bit from the troop Per Corridor. But I have personally talked to over fifty people, and if just one of them's telling the truth, then it exists.

45:22 So well, that's that's the thing, you know, I don't You're exactly right. It only takes one person. And just just think of the thousands and thousands and thousands of people that have been talking from everywhere. It's pretty pretty intense to think about. It keeps me going, for sure, But Angie, it has been. It has been a pleasure of talking to you tonight. I'm working a little book, my first little book. I haven't written, but I just keep adding to it. So I haven't you know, sent it to an editor or anything yet, but hopefully I will soon.

46:06 And it's just interesting. It's just I just it's just called Bigfoot on the Brain, an interesting little book about Bigfoot, and it's just kind of a collection of things that I've learned that it's you know, kind of helped. Me develop my theories. And and it's my witness reports. I think I have probably about thirty five reports in it now. But that's it. That's awesome that that'll be a great book to uh to get published some day. I know it's it's hard writing stuff like that because you're as stuff happens, you always want to add to it, and it's like where you cut it off? Right?

46:46 But yeah, well, I do want to say one other thing of the Molina Bigfoot Festival that I got involved with several years ago. It's held every November, but the focus of it is the Elkins Creek. So if anybody isn't familiar with that, that was a cast taken by Pat Aikins in like nineteen ninety seven. It is one of the. Best pieces of pieces of evidence really just out there. They send that cast in to I know it was doctor Belgrum and I believe one other doctor and they analyze that it has dermal Ridges. The toes impressions were great.

47:28 Everything about it, well, you know, it's just a really good print and they actually have a replica. I think it's the second copy that was made from It is actually on display in Molena. If anybody you know, ever threw that way and wants to stop look at it. It's really cool. But that was taken right there, very close to the Flint River. That's awesome that that is a cast that gets brought up every once in a while. I know I've heard Cliff talk about that as well. And just the ride, not the that's not the troop Herd Corridor exactly, but it is. It touches it Meriweather County, touches Pike County and Elk's Creek you know, flows into the Flint River and all that is right there together.

48:23 So that was just an interesting thing, uh, from over in this area. That's wild. I mean, just just goes to show you there's another there's another thing, and things start to connect. But if people want to reach out to you, maybe if they have, you know, another sighting to do with the peer Ridge road Monster or something else that you've mentioned tonight, what's the best way that they might be able to reach out to you. Well, I have a new little page that I started on Facebook. It's called Angie Goo's Squatching. You can find it there and that's where I've started posting my stories.

49:10 We find it there, and we do have a the new group that I am in now, the Seekers, We actually have a new public page there. It's the South Eastern ENCRYPTID Research Society. Like you know, I said, the focus of it is the troop Per Corridor, but we do research, you know, other all other areas also including North Georgia. And that team is made up of about thirty individuals and it's military first responders. I mean, it's some you know, some really good quality people. I think there's a scientist in there, a film producer. It's uh, just a lot a lot of really smart people in that group. So I look forward to seeing what all that group, you know, is able to bring, you know, the evidence that it's able to capture in the future.

50:19 I mean, I know they've already got some there's some really good stuff that they'll be releasing. So absolutely, well we'll have to we'll definitely have to keep an eye on that. But yeah, definitely listeners check out Angie Goes Squatching facebook page. I'll have links to all that good stuff in the show notes as always, But thank you so much for coming on the show tonight, Angie.
