Forward slash the Big for Society and now let's get on with the show. All right, Big for Society. We get the privilege of talking to Jason today. Jason's an individual from out in the Pacific Northwest. We were introduced through a comment that came in over on the TikTok side of things, so I reached out to him and thankfully he was able to reach back out afterwards. Jason, it's a privilege to have you on the show to to share what you experienced a while back there in Washington.

1:04 But is there anything that our listeners would need to know about you before we get going with things. I'm fifty years old. I'm a very avid bow hunter and outdoors and then I've been hunting legally with a license since i was ten years old, and I've hunted in about every state in all fifty for just about every kind of big game animal. And I know the woods real well and every type of animal that there is to know. Feel free to take us back to where we need to be, the location as best as you can get. And what happened to you that day? I mean my dad. We were out of state, all hunting up in Washington and little town called Chino Cup there, which is just on the other side of the Astoria Makler Bridge, the one that crosses the Big Columbia River there, five miles long, and we were coming back on the last day of elk season and heading from Chinook towards Nacel and just about exactly one mile past the Astoria Makler.

2:00 Bridge on the left hand side, I looked over and standing. Maybe eighty yards out in the jack first real thick trees, stood a big foot just standing on a stump, and he just appeared to be gazing out across the Big Bay there, that's five miles out, and so I stopped. The car immediately right in the highway. And I thought at first it was a statue or like maybe it was a prank of some sort. But there stood a giant eight or nine foot tan in color, hairy monster looking things, just standing peacefully overlooking the bay. And he stood there for about fifteen. Seconds while I backed up traffic and got a really good look at him. My dad's seen him as well, and he just took a step off the stump and was vanished back into the thin air.

2:48 But it was it was about eleven thirty. In the afternoon, and it was it was a clear day at the coast, and he wasn't far off. And so that was pretty much the experience that I had with. The big It was tane in color, maybe seven to nine feet tall or so. One thing that really stood out about him is it was really square chested. It almost looked like there it was a box. His profile was so square that it almost looked like it was like a SpongeBob style box body style on him that was really wide, maybe four and a half five feet wide. It was really built looked like a male for sure. And so that's my story, that's what we've seen down there.

3:31 Definitely something that you wouldn't miss mistaken for a different animal of any kind. I bear hunt in Idaho, I'm the bear hunting Oregon, a bear hunt in Washington. I know bears in their profile, between a black bear, a grizzly bear, all sorts of animals, And that was definitely not anything that was normal to be standing there on two feet. So September nineteenth of what year? This year? Really? Oh wow, that was this year. And it was exactly right at exactly one mile past that story at Megla Bridge heading from to Nasl, Washington. There it's really a swampy country down there. It's all the tide pools and that type of thing. There's a lot of swampy country right in there. And where he was standing was just about in this really swampy tidal area that just had some sluts running to it that are just real mucky, just a really real wetland swamp type of area where he was.

4:30 So some listeners that weren't listening super closely, they might say, maybe it was a statue, but it sounds like you saw it actually step off the stump and then. Get When we stopped it, it immediately took notice of the vehicle stopping, turned and looked into our direction. And that's when I knew immediately that this was a real animal, that I wasn't looking at something that was like a prank or something, because it had to a big foot. Profile like what you always see of the big foot. It was it looked like that, completely perfect like that, except it was just square and it was tan and color. But the first glimpse, I thought maybe I was looking at it somebody's prank or a statue often they had set out in the woods there, until I got the car stopped fully to see.

5:18 What it was. But it was definitely alive, And well. So what kind of movements did it have to take for it to turn and then walk away? It did just simply took just knelt down one leg off the stump and the other one and just turned and off into the jack firs where it was real thick, where he was about the only visible thing other than. The trees there. It was just a real it's really brushy down there, and he was the only visible thing. He just looked like he was gazing out over the bay when we first seen him, just staring off over the five mile bay there. Wow. In order for it to turn, did it was it able to turn its head first or did it have to turn all.

6:00 Turned its pretty much just almost the same motion as a person would. He just turned his chest mostly and then his hips and just took one step off the stump and he was gone. Was its arms just hanging by its side when you saw it. Or what was? Yes, his arms? Our arms were straight down by its side and just standing there perfectly, almost like I said, almost like it was a statue or something like that somebody had put out there. But he was just looking out in the bay. It was crazy. How long or how far down did those arms and hands go on the creature? Probably two between his hip and his knee.

6:40 It wasn't really super hairy or seemed like his hair was the fill on or whatever it was, was not super. Shaggy or anything looking like that. It looked it seemed to be pretty pretty neat versus like six or seven inchair. This had maybe two to three inchair at the most. And what color did you say? It was a good It was tan, almost the color of wood. Yeah, it was just all tan and it was all the same exact color, had to toe. So you're saying that it looked neat, do you mean like the way that the hair looked like it was. Yeah, the hair looked it looked it didn't look all shaggy or mangy or anything like that. It was three inches the most hair. It looked tight to his body.

7:28 Interesting, like it had been groomed at all or maybe. Not, No, not at all, but it just it was I guess some animals have a really triggy look to him there fur whatnot, like elk and stuff. They have a really nice looking for It's not like a dog where it's all mangy looking or long or anything. It wasn't a shaggy looking animal by any means. Were there parts of it that were not covered by hair. Just the face and the face was not a whole lot of hair to the face at all. Just start about the ears or sewing back. It wasn't far off the road, so we got a good, really good look at it, and like I said, I stopped traffic because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

8:09 Absolutely, So you were able to see ears then. Yeah, I was able to see some protrusions of yours, So I really say that I seen its actual. Ears, but they were covered in the hair fur that it had. Ah, Okay, so maybe even where the ears would be, but they were far under right. That's really interesting. Were you able to get a good look at the details of the actual face itself. Yeah, absolutely, And it had it looked like a male, like, it really had male characteristics to its face. It definitely looked like a boy. And it was really square chested too. It looked just almost like a box sitting there staring out in the bay. The way its chest was, it just was just a square shape to him, really big and square.

8:59 Did you get a few of how old it might. Have been looking at it, it looked to be like probably man, I would say in its fifties, got something like that of that kind of type of face to it. It definitely was a boy just the way it looked. I could just tell it was a boy. Absolutely were there. And at that time I noticed we were hunting out of state, and I noticed that the area down there was completely covered in blackberries. I hadn't seen were from that area, and I hadn't seen the blackberries as thick. There was hundreds of pounds per foot on the blackberries, and they were just an incredible season down there. And then on top of that, I know that the fish were running through all the rivers around there.

9:48 The coastal streams really heavy at the time. So it's the perfect time for it to be there so much. Yeah. Absolutely, Plus that we were there hunting elk there in the middle of the rut, so you got the elk, which you're really vocal, and in the middle of the rock to salmon of course it are spawning in the rivers. And then the blackberries were just incredible. All the berries were just really incredibly thick down there. Did it have much of a neck at all that you could see. Not much of a neck whatsoever. Its head just went into its shoulders and they were really just squared off and wide. Sure, how far acrossed would you say those shoulders would be approximately. A good like four and a half feet or so, maybe four foot really wide. It looked like really a barrel chested, big type of upper body was really squared off and looked like a big weightlifter style body.

10:38 Absolutely, did you notice any shape to the head at all? Yeah, it was a little bit elongated compared to a human. Its face was longer and length looked like everybody as far as the big foots, almost like chimpanzee style looked to its face. That's interesting. The hair was their hair on top of the head. Yeah, because he was covered head to tail in hair. Besides, its face looked like hair on its hands, hair everywhere, Like on his stomach, it looked like the hair was lighter like maybe I don't know if you would say rubbed, but just thinner down through its stomach.

11:20 That's interesting. Were there any parts where there? So sometimes I get reports where the person will say, oh, so it was a black colored sasquatch, but there was a weird part where there was almost like a different pattern to the color on it. Were there any other paths? Yeah? You know, this one was just if you looked at like an old dead field of grass that it's all brown and tan, but it's got a little bit of darker sections in it, just a slight variance. There was that color, almost a dirty tan. How far so the hair on top of the head, how far did that go down? When did it stop on? Did it have a normal hairline like we would have as humans, or did it go far down the forehead or it. Was honest was almost parted in the middle.

12:02 Like I said, it didn't have real super long hair that you could definitely tell that its head hair looked a little bit longer than the rest of its body. Interesting. Was the hair coming down then, or was it like it. Was, Yeah, I was coming down, it was coming down. It was coming down. Okay. How big of a forehead? Did it have? Pretty large forehead, probably maybe six to eight inches or so forehead there. The size of the head. Could you think of a common household object that would be the same size as the head that you saw on it? Probably the size of its head would be I don't know as far as a household item, I would have to say maybe washer and dryer, door or something like that.

12:50 It was fairly large, really fairly large. It was a really big style of an animal. It was, like I said, at first appearance, it looked like it was almost like a box carving of one until I realized it was an actual big flat. What about the size of the hands. The hands looked to be pretty big and pretty They had hair on the backside. I noticed the whole thing was in hair head to toe? Were they it's a similar so be a similar question. Were the hands the size of any other object that you could think of? They were the size of a toaster, So okay. Cool some people.

13:31 So. Thinking back to the face of the sasquatch, the browridge, did you notice anything particularly about the browridge of what you saw? Yeah, he had hair for eyebrows. Definitely had hair there. I didn't notice a whole lot. The facial hair was just shaggy, I guess like scooby and shaggy. It was just looked about like that and wasn't any different color than anything else. Sure was it a pronounced brow ridge at all? Some people will say that pronounced sometimes. Yeah, it definitely was. I guess if you would whatever the male characteristics of the eyebrow would be. It definitely looked to be a boy.

14:13 The eyes of what you saw, were they all one color or were you able to see whites to the eyes as well? They looked to be brown. I had my binoculars up. I got a pair of Loophole go Bring, really high quality binoculars. But his eyes looked to be brown. I didn't really notice any variation in color. They're all brown across the eye. Yep, okay. Interesting. How would you describe the nose of what you saw? Big, big, and maybe a little bit bourbous? I guess he would say, was the hair on the nose or no hair? No hair on the nose? Nope.

14:54 Would you describe a nose more similar to a human or human relative or to an ape. More of an African American descent? I guess you would say, just a bigger style knows like that? Sure? Was it flattened against the face or. No, it protruded out a little bit. It was pretty pronounced, right. Did the nostrils do anything in particular that you knowed. Didn't really notice that too much. Big for society will be right back after these messages.

15:42 I didn't notice that too much, just the overall just the being itself and what it was that we were looking at. Absolutely, you know, I'm asking you very detailed questions just because it's super unique case where you're trained to observe things, but also you have binoculars, so it's pretty yeah. I know it. It was clear and at first it was almost the same color as an elk as what caught my eye, and so immediately upon seeing that, and I yelled at my dad, I said, look, it's a big foot, and we just couldn't believe what we were looking at. So my dad's hunted his whole life. He's seventy five years old, and he's taken me out since I was a baby and spent my entire life outdoors. So I would definitely know if it was any other type of animal. I've seen them all. I know every animal that's out in the outdoor Kingdom. This was no other species that I've ever known of, that's for sure.

16:37 I have three more face questions. So, the area underneath the nose and it goes down to the top lip, it's called the filtrum. Did you sice anything about that area of the face, like how long it was? Things like that. It was pretty long and good looking, like almost I guess bearded to it, but between its nose and the mouth there was probably a good three inches or so. Okay, Interesting, the lips are the mouth, How would you describe how that looked big? They looked pretty big lips on it that were maybe I don't know, a good half inch around as far as the lips themselves. Gotcha, Hey, that pretty good bigger cheekbone.

17:27 Looking to its face as well, its cheekbones looked to be pretty big and pronounced on an animal that would have really a lot of power in its face. Were you able to see it, did it open its mouth show its teeth at all? Or was it a closed mouth? No, God, its closed mouth. It appeared to be very calm and just literally gazing out across the bay. That would have been absolutely incredible to see that. I man, just. Yeah, it was. It was something crazy. It was absolutely insane that I couldn't believe we were what we were looking at. What was a conver station like in the car after you guys drove away. It was unbelievable. We couldn't believe what we were freaking out. I was calling my brother, I was telling all my hunting buddies that I've just seen a big foot, a real live bigfoot, on the side of the road, and it was pretty insane.

18:14 We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Have you is this your first time sharing it with anyone or did you share it with a lot of people or organizations as well. No, I haven't shared it with anybody, just other than just some close companions and a couple of friends and some hunt hunting buddies that we have. Of course, my dad shared it with a couple of his hunting buddies, and that's about it. Would would you be able to mark on a map the exact location, to best of your memory where you Yeah? Absolutely, Oh, I looked exactly. We were at the. Mile post one I believe it is after you get off the bridge there marking one mile. It was exactly at the marker there. I just heading towards they sell.

19:02 It would be head and east from the Astori Megla bridge one mile exactly. You have river on one side of you, five miles the river on one side of you, or land on the other and it was right there in the forest eighty feet off. So just to make sure I have this right. So you were headed over the bridge then you go there's like a tee and we. Were headed under the bridge. It's just where the bridge is that we were coming from Chinook to nay Sel and just as you go by the Astory Megla bridge, it was exactly one mile on the left hand side. Okay, got it, yep. Very interesting the way it moved or what you saw. You've said that you have hunted so many animals, like all pretty much all the animals you're aware of.

19:45 Yeah. Absolutely. Did it remind you of any other animals that you've seen out there? Not even close, nothing even close. Nothing in the world like this. Nothing absolutely different than anything that set out in the out doors that I've ever seen. It was completely different. From what you saw? Could you or would you categorize it more as something that was I may have already asked you this, but I just it's such an intense description. I can't wrap my mind around it. So you would you think of this more as like it was a human or an ape?

20:29 A human? Look absolutely a big human, big male human that you just absolutely was living proved historically in the woods must live in a cave or something somewhere in the woods. There's lots of places in the woods to hide and that type of thing. I just this, They're real. I see them mown two eyes, and I definitely would know if it was a different animal, or if it was a bear or any other type of animal looks in the forest, I would definitely know. I spent three hundred days a year out in the outdoors, So this was a humanoid bigfoot. Absolutely it was a big foot. It was absolute bigfoot.

21:10 So almost two months ago is when this happened for you? How has this changed your life since? Not too much, except for if I haven't. If I run into somebody and the conversation comes up, I just can't wait to tell them that I've seen one in real life. And so just a little bit different. I'm a little bit more cautious going out in different words. Now I don't think I want to go out. I spent a lot of time out there, and now I feel like I want to have a little bit of protection with. Me because it was just such a big, beastie looking thing, and it was quick when it got done. When it finally decided to leave, it it. Was gone and just but a blink of an eye. It just was totally vanished into the timber. It was really fast. It wasn't a slow, slothy looking animal. Moved with quickness like you know of a frightened animal. It was gone in just a blink of an eye.

22:02 Was this before the town of Megler as well? Yeah, that would be before that. Yeah. It's about six miles from Chinook, just one mile east of that astorary in Meglar Bridge. They're the big six mile bridge, got it. That's incredible, Holy mackerel. Would you ever want to see one again? Yeah? Absolutely. It was something that I would love to be seeing again. And my brother the first thing he thought of was why didn't you shoot it then? And you approved? But I said, I think it's federally protected. I looked it up at it at durk be that in Washington. It was definitely a federally protected animal. There are parts. There are certain counties in Washington you would not want to do that. I can't remember to the best if this particular county is one of them, but yeah, there are certain counties you would not want to do that.

22:53 Yeah, I would never want to. I don't think I would ever want to shoot something I can't anywhere. By no means something that got to be once in a lifetime thing and just to see. When to see what I've seen was out of this world. Like I said, I thought somebody was playing a frank or it was a statue or something. Somebody had set something out in the woods in just this perfect spot out in the timber that you might catch and I just couldn't believe it was actual being that was alive and well like that, it was something. Else, just in case it wasn't brought up. How far again or how far away again from your car? So you're on the road in your car, how far over?

23:35 Maybe six sixty to eight sixty to eighty yards at the most. Oh wow, Okay, So it was right off the road, just in a little old clearcut Jacks's as I guess they. Called, and some real thick scrub timber. It's maybe fifteen to twenty years old, just really thick, and he was just standing on a stump and the only little opening there was him. How fortunate that you had those binoculars right with you. Yeah. We literally I stopped in the highway. We stopped traffic when just backed up traffic because I just couldn't believe what I was looking at. I'm not sure it was how many. Other people seen it, but when he left, there was cars behind me. Ready to go. It's right on the highway, and it wasn't once in a lifetime thing to see, that's for sure. I really hadn't ever seen anything like that in the wild, and really didn't believe that much about a bigfoot when had never had any kind of encounters really like that.

24:32 I'm sure this would have come up already, but I'm gonna just ask it. You did not have a dash cam or any type of camera at the time, correct, No. No dash cam. The best I would have had is my cell phone. And that was the furthest thing from my mind while I was sitting there staring at it. It stood there for maybe fifteen seconds or so, and it definitely took its eyes from watching the bay to immediately did the car stop there and noticing it seemed to be getting a little bit nervous at that point. Absolutely, has anything the ordinary happened since then? Nope, okay, nothing good, No, nothing at all.

25:13 Nothing weird at home or vivid dreams or anything. I thought, okay, nothing. Crazy, nothing at all. I just got done hunting elk in the Oregon. I shot an milk and Oregon bow hunting, and then I haven't hunted with my brother. And probably came fifteen years and he lives up. In Washington, where we are originally from, and so we decided we'd spend the extra money getting out of state tag and go up there and hunt. And so I just got done harvested and nice elk before we went up there, and I spent the whole season out there el kind. Well, so have you ever had any other weird things happen when you've been out in the woods hunting. It sounds like you're all over the place in the Pacific Northwest.

25:54 Yeah, no, not really. I've got into a cougar one time. That was the only cougar. I shot at cougar one time with my bow, And that's about as far out as it goes. Seeing even one of those animals out in the wild is pretty rare of an occasion. I've seen one in my entire life, and all the time spinning out in the woods, I've seen one cougar. So that's about as extreme as I've ever seen out there. Fantastic, Jason, this is It's an incredible sighting. It's probably man, it is so rare to have a sighting like this. I hope you that was. That was pretty pretty unique to see him in the middle of the daily just standing there. It was such a weird occasion.

26:35 I immediately said, what is that a big And I was stopped to call like, what is that? Not a statue? But what is that? Until I got my binoculars, and then it was looking right at us, just playing the face. Some people will have an encounter and they'll just go on, just go on a side quest with Oh, I got to look into this area and see if the other things have happened. Have you done that yourself or it's. I were appointed at I think there's a BFRO or a bigfoot reporting site, and I put it on there, and then I did a little look to see if that there had been any other sidings in the area, and there was quite a few sidings right around in that Nacell area. Of other people that have I noticed.

27:15 There was one on ca and m Mountain, which is a mountain right there that goes from cat Lambit over the the you know there and I'll walko and all that stuff. And there was another siding there of one at night, and and it sounded real close to about what I had seen and emphasized on its big giant like a squared off chest. And it's really tidal area down there, it's really swampy. I guess if you were going to hide from people and not let a lot of people know of your existence, that would definitely be it, because no one in the right mind, would want to be caught down there because if you fill in the mud there, it could be over your head and mud and just it's just nasty sliming area down there, right in the coast that all the tide pools come in, and it's a lot of mud and it's so hard to get around in that area, that's for sure.

28:04 So you did you did report it to the BFRO. Yes, I reported it on there, but I never heard anything back from them at all or even seen the sighting on there. Maybe my grammar wasn't so hot, or maybe. I'll say to the I know you guys, listen, I know you listen. If there's probably a report for this one in the flats that no one has taken up yet, if you want to chake a look, it's up to you, guys.

The best way to get a hold of me now is through email because I get so many things sent my way all over the place. But Jason, this is incredible. I'm glad that we were able to connect and that you were able to share this what happened to you?

28:55 Yeah, I appreciate you having me on there, and just I figure other people should do. And I'm that there's been other sightings around that area. I can only imagine because I've seen one with my own eyes, definitely one living there or was there at the time.
