Society, I've taken far too much of

9
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:44.719
your time so far, so let's
get on with the show. All right,

10
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.079
Big Faciety. You've got the privilege
of talking to Wayne from Iowa today.

11
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.399
He's got some very interesting stories that
have happened of things that have happened

12
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.280
to him over the years. His
son reached out to me and said,

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.159
hey, talk to my father if
you get a chance. So gave him

14
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.799
a call. How's it going Wayne, It's going on perfect? And so

15
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.000
your son Lance was saying that you
guys were you were having a yard sale

16
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.319
and you got to sharing a very
interesting story about something that happened in the

17
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:29.719
nineteen seventies. Yeah, yeah,
I saw what I thought must be a

18
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:36.640
dinosaur. Is I'd never heard of
such a thing still being alive. But

19
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.799
but anyway, I was at the
time, I was living in the Quad

20
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.719
Cities to work for a tool company, and I lived I was some the

21
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:53.120
morn and so I used to travel
back and forth in the Quad Cities to

22
00:01:53.319 --> 00:02:00.760
the more infrequently, and in about
I don't know exactly what year it was,

23
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.079
but you know, jutting by the
kids Ages it hady Beer on nineteen

24
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:12.599
seventy four, seventy five, right
in that range. And on the way

25
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.520
from the Quad Cities to the morning
one time on Interstate eighty, I was

26
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.560
heading towards the morning, and I
don't recall exactly where it was. It

27
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.400
was about halfway back Idea something like
that, and there was a freeway bridge

28
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:37.639
going over the freeway and I was
about how probably I don't know, half

29
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:44.240
a mile from the bridge when I
first saw something and what the heck is

30
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.240
that? And it was huge and
it was black, and it started flying

31
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.400
off the bridge and I go I
got close enough to it that I recognized

32
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:04.039
what it had to be and I
almost thought maybe it was something made up

33
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.360
or something that but it was alive. It was something. It was a

34
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:14.879
pterodactyl, and and I know parodoctyl. I saw one, I think because

35
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.400
I've always been kind of interested in
dinosaurs and different types, and I've got

36
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:31.560
several DVDs that you know, pertained
to dinosaur items. And so anyway,

37
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:39.080
this huge birdlike creature came off of
the bridge. It was sitting up on

38
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.639
the top and the closer I got, the better I could see it might

39
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:49.879
go on. This this can't be
as not can be real was real and

40
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:57.960
it took off and it was huge
is I don't know how it was.

41
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:03.919
It at least probably three quarters of
the side of a small cess in airplane,

42
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:11.520
i'd say. And it it was
black and it had webbed wings and

43
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.839
it the feet hang down and it
had the beak on it. And you

44
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.040
know, it was a pterodoctyl.
I mean, I know it sounds kind

45
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.959
of silly, but that's what it
was. I know it had to be

46
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.199
because it flew away and I got
to see it pretty darn close, you

47
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.120
know, because I was going U
seventy five miles an hour on the freeway

48
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.040
and as I got closer, I
slowed down a little so I could pay

49
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:45.240
more attention. But the thing was
so huge. It just climbed off of

50
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.319
the bridge, you know, flew
off of the bridge. And I said,

51
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:55.399
God, I don't understand. It
doesn't it doesn't seem possible. But

52
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.120
it's a pterodoctyl. And that's what
it was. I mean, it had

53
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:08.839
to be. And it was alive
animal flying and it wasn't it was somebody

54
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.800
playing a joke or something that there
was none else around at all. And

55
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.439
uh, you know, you're out
in the country and a bridge overpass over

56
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:27.279
the Interstate eighty and uh it was
real. What it was and how it

57
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.600
could be still alive, I don't
know, but this thing was alive.

58
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:38.079
It was huge, it was black, and uh uh it had to be

59
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.120
a parodoftril. I mean, I
and since then I after that, you

60
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.079
know, I looked at a couple
picture of parodoptril to make sure I wasn't

61
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.079
crazy, and I wasn't. It
looked exactly like the picture, so I

62
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.279
know that had to be what it
was. I don't know where it ever

63
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.639
came from, but that's about the
only strange thing like that I've ever seen,

64
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:08.079
but it certainly was amazing. And
my wife was with me and she

65
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.800
saw it too. Yeah, so
you know, I had the wife and

66
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.000
kids, and the kids, I
think it were asleep in the back of

67
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:24.399
the car, but it my wife
saw it. I said, good God,

68
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.639
look at that. And she said, yeah, I've never seen anything

69
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.720
like that. You know, that's
a pterodoptical. I know it sounds stupid,

70
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:36.680
but that's what it is, has
to be. So anyway, that's

71
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.279
what I could tell you about it. It's about all I could tell you

72
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.800
know, I mean, never seen
anything like that before in my life.

73
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:53.800
And and so have you ever seen
any have you ever seen any pictures of

74
00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:00.000
like the van meter visitor or Mothman
or any cryptids like that? When we'll

75
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:09.800
be back with more big Foot Society
after these words from our sponsors, well,

76
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.199
Lance showed me a couple of pictures
of most un Lance showed me a

77
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.839
couple of pictures he had of those. Uh, but it didn't look like

78
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:26.079
that the I don't know the sumth
in me and whatever you said there it

79
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.240
had manlike features on the body and
stuff. And this this was a bird,

80
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:36.399
I mean, it was uh,
well like I said the pterodactyl.

81
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:44.800
Gotcha, did you notice any like
interesting crests or horns on the head of

82
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.399
the pterodactyl? Oh, the boy, you're asking me to remember something a

83
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.120
few years ago, almost fifty years
ago. Yeah, it had. It

84
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.959
had all the features at a time
because uh, you know, I knew

85
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.319
ever told a lot of people about
it because I was a young businessman and

86
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.480
I don't know what people think I
was crazy, So I never talked about

87
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.439
it a lot. But it had
a long beak on it, and uh,

88
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.800
you know, the head of it. Tear it off to home and

89
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:26.800
it uh it had webbed wings.
The wings were webbed and when it spread

90
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.039
it out, and when they spread
out, it was huge, and it

91
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.200
took off and it seemed to have
very little or no trouble flying. You

92
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.120
know, it took off and I
got it pretty close to it because I

93
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.440
kind of slowed down and and you
know, tried to stay in the visual

94
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.600
sight of it for as long as
I could. But it took off them

95
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.960
in the top of the of the
overhead bridge. It was on the Rayleigh

96
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.000
and my thing, I mean,
I don't know, I'm sure that's where

97
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.480
it was because it looked like that's
where it was. So anyway, that's

98
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:16.960
what I saw. And it was
big and black and had legs, it

99
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:22.759
had a long beak, it had
webbed wings, and it was huge wall

100
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.399
And that's absolutely fascinating. Thank you
for sharing that. I know you've been

101
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.879
holding holding onto that story for a
really long time. Your son also said

102
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.080
it would be interesting to ask you
if you would be willing to share about

103
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:48.480
the possessed guy with red glowing eyes. I'm sorry, sure, what now?

104
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.039
He said, you have a story
about a possessed guy with red glowing

105
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.399
eyes. Oh, huh, yeah, that was a human being. Yeah,

106
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:05.080
it was. He was He's always
uh he lived down the streets from

107
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.840
me and we were always kind of
friends. But he was a pretty strange

108
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.519
individual. I don't know, there
was many things that were strange about him.

109
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.879
He was very introverted and just strange. And uh, you know,

110
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.519
one time we were standing out in
the backyard. We lived on an area

111
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:35.440
that was built in uh into the
World War two, so these were all

112
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.200
fairly small houses, you know,
two three bedroom houses that were small,

113
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.600
and uh, we were standing out
in the backyard one time and it was

114
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:50.120
getting dark, and so I don't
know, we got talking about the Bible

115
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.679
and about different things that were you
know, strange happenings and stuff, and

116
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:03.519
and uh I noticed I at him, his eyes started getting red and uh

117
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.840
they got real dark red, and
uh, I you know, I said,

118
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.559
uh, well, what are you
doing, maw you know? And

119
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.600
uh he said, well, he
wanted to talk about things that in the

120
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.120
Bible and stuff. And he said, I guess, I guess that's what

121
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.960
we're doing. And that's you know. I don't remember much of what he

122
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.840
said because I was kind of,
you know, shocked to see his eyes

123
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.360
turned red and they did, and
uh, you know, and he talked

124
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.240
about a couple of times, a
couple of things about the devil and about

125
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.120
evil things, you know, and
I said, well, I've got to

126
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.240
go, so see you later,
and I took off. So but his

127
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.799
eyes did turn red, there was
no question about it. And so was

128
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.200
just something pretty strange. And he
was a really weird individual. I mean,

129
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.120
if you knew him, you go, I wonder why he acts like

130
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:20.279
he does and does what he does. And he I remember when he got

131
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:28.399
drafted for Vietnam and he he took
off and went to Canada, and uh,

132
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.279
he lived up in Canada the rest
of his life, and I had

133
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.720
very little contact with him after that. But his whole family was kind of

134
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.559
strange's dad and his dad, especially
his dad, was I don't know a

135
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.840
little bit like him, and I
don't know too much about what they what

136
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.000
they did religiously, you know,
and stuff. But I just know that

137
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.960
he got talking about stuff that I
didn't really want to talk about, and

138
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.559
guys got red and everything, and
I just thought, I'm going to get

139
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.080
out of here, so I didn't
stay very long. You probably made the

140
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.639
right choice. If a guy's eyes
start going red, it's it's probably time

141
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.519
to check out. But I don't
know if he'd tried to draft me into

142
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.600
going along with him on stuff or
not. But he was a strange duck,

143
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:31.480
so I just weren't interested in what
he was selling. So absolutely,

144
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.000
it's interesting how certain people will have
certain reactions to biblical topics versus things like

145
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.600
that. But I think he made
the right choice, Wayne. But I

146
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.919
don't want to take all your time. I really am appreciative of you chatting

147
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.519
with me for a few minutes.
Thank you so much. I know my

148
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.039
listeners will find it very interesting that
there is a pterodactyl sighting in nineteen seventy

149
00:13:54.039 --> 00:14:01.720
four or five between De Moines and
the Quad Cities. So they all right,

150
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:09.679
thank you, have a good bye. You're a Bigfoot Society article is

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.600
to provide a platform for those that
have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter in

152
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.240
a safe and respected environment. But
we need to hear your story. If

153
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.879
you've experienced something that you just can't
explain, please send me an email at

154
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.679
Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.
Then we can start the conversation. And

155
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.879
I know a lot of you have
not shared your encounter at all. It's

156
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.440
been twenty years and it's time that
you get this off your chest and then

157
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.440
you can get some well deserved for
rest, because I know you haven't been

158
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.000
sleeping. I understand what you're going
through, and I appreciate every one of you listening
