Welcome to the Bigfoot Society. In
this episode, I talked to Luna about

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.400
her Bigfoot experience in the Mount Shasta
area of California. If you've experienced something

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.800
similar to what she has, or
have more information regarding Bigfoot or other cryptids

4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.640
in the same area, please reach
out to me immediately after this episode.

5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.280
Remember your encounter could be the key
to unlocking this mystery once and for all,

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:31.160
so please don't hesitate to contact me
at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

7
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.039
All right, big for Society.
You got the privilege of talking to

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:41.520
Luna. She contacted me regarding an
interesting experience she had out there near Mount

9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.560
Shasta in California. How's it going
today, Luna? Good? How are

10
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.520
you doing? And thank you for
having me on? Absolutely I'm doing good.

11
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.560
I'm glad to finally be able to
talk to you. It's been a

12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.840
little bit of time getting this all
together, but definitely going to be worth

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.560
it to help get your story out. My listeners I think are really going

14
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.680
to enjoy it. It's a fascinating
story. But you know, I'm going

15
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.519
to go ahead and give the floor
right over to Luna and let you take

16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:17.560
it from here. All right,
Well, My bigfoot story is an interesting

17
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.719
one. I never really thought I
would have run into Bigfoot or anything like

18
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:29.280
that. Just to give a backstory, I started heading up to Mount Shasta.

19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.920
Well, I'm from Chico, California, so Mount Shasta is two hours

20
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.359
away. That's where I was born
and raised in chicos So hearing about bigfoot,

21
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.920
well, that's a common thing in
northern California. It's like a running

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.200
joke when people go up to like
Humboldt County, they have bigfoots up,

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.879
like the statues and things like that. So it was already something common that

24
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.560
I would hear about. But in
twenty twelve, I started going up to

25
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:02.760
Mount Shasta more and I would I
started doing ceremony, was a k vision

26
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:10.400
quest and sun dance, and we
would talk about bigfoot. In the Karuk

27
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:21.520
they call bigfoot makiata. And it's
very common within our indigenous communities and culture

28
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.479
to talk about like bigfoot and little
people and the fairies and things like that.

29
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.599
It's not really something that we're like, oh like, it's just part

30
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:36.080
of the culture. It's part of
the medicine. And when I had my

31
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:44.360
experience with bigfoot, it was my
first time doing division quest. I was

32
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.919
doing my first vision quest in the
sweat lodge. And for those of you

33
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.800
who don't know what a sweat lodge
is, it's a ceremony where they do

34
00:02:53.919 --> 00:03:01.039
like three or four rounds depending on
the tribe, and there is a lodge

35
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.120
that is built and there's rounds of
rocks that come in. But when I

36
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.800
did my vision quest, there was
no rocks. There's no fire. There

37
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.879
was a fire going, but there
was no rocks in there, so it

38
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.879
wasn't gonna be hot. And I
spent over a day or in the lodge,

39
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.520
which is something I want to do. So I got out and the

40
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.280
vision questers that were up on the
hill. So when you vision quest,

41
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.639
it's like normally four days no food
or water and you go up on the

42
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:34.159
hill. I was down in the
lodge. I stayed in the area because

43
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.360
I was still holding space for the
questers that were up all in the hill.

44
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.319
This was over at Stuart Springs,
which is in like outside of Weed,

45
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.759
California. So it's like, I
don't know, fifteen minutes outside of

46
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.319
Mount Shafta where you have to go
up a little bit in the hill area

47
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.520
towards like the west of Weed,
and so we were up there, the

48
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.439
grounds were still open to people that
were coming there. The springs was it's

49
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.199
a hot spring, so people would
come and have baths camp out there,

50
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:12.000
so it's still open to everybody else. And that night we were out in

51
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:17.519
our camping area where we were holding
space, and we were eating and I

52
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.560
remember hearing this really big crunch and
I was like, what is that.

53
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.399
I was like, that does not
sound like a deer. Because when you

54
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.000
live out in the mountains, you
get or you're out there a lot,

55
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.800
you get used to the noises,
but you start to also listen to the

56
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.439
different noises that animals make. And
I'm like, that is not a deer.

57
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.920
So I heard the crunch and I
look out in the wooded area probably

58
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.120
i don't know, like less than
the quarter maybe like fifty feet one hundred

59
00:04:51.160 --> 00:05:01.800
feet, and I see bigfoot walking
and I was like, huh. I

60
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.279
stopped and I was a little shocked
because I was like, I don't know

61
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.600
what I just saw. And I
remember looking one of my friends and was

62
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.600
like, I don't know what I
just saw. I'm going to go to

63
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.519
my tent. And also just for
everyone to understand envision quest, there's no

64
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:26.399
like drugs or anything like that use
some people have that mistaken knowledge that happens,

65
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:31.560
So that does not happen there.
It is a dry ceremony, so

66
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.240
when you go no food or water, it's no footer, it's nothing.

67
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.480
So that happened. And I go
back to my tent that night and I

68
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.560
go to bed the next night.
I didn't say anything to anybody. The

69
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.959
next night, I'm in my tent
and I think this is probably day three

70
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.759
of the questers being up on the
hill, or night three of the Questers

71
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.879
being up on the hill. I'm
in my tent. I'm waiting for some

72
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.959
one that I think was going to
come and be at Vision Quest as well.

73
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.319
I remember there was a camper that
came in with their car and they

74
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.160
come in and I just remember hearing
a lot of noise. There was like

75
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.160
all this walking in front of my
tent, and I was like, why

76
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.279
is this camper walking in front of
my tent? So I opened my tent

77
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.759
and I look, nobody's there.
I see the camper like setting up,

78
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.240
but they're not anywhere near me.
I also see that there's another camper that

79
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:39.079
has their trailer right next to the
other camper that was setting up, so

80
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.439
I'm looking around. I'm like,
I don't know what that is. I

81
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.639
close it. Hear the steps again, and I was like, this is

82
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.240
so odd, so I opened it
again. No one's there, I thought,

83
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.920
well, because my friend was right
in front of me in their tent,

84
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.319
and then another one of the elders
was in front of him, so

85
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.240
I closed it again. I thought
they were trying to play a joke on

86
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:09.040
me or something. And it was
a while later. I am just on

87
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.319
my I was just in the tent. I was getting a message from my

88
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.040
friend, and I think I was
listening to some music. I was in

89
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.639
my tent and I look or I
just look around for a moment, and

90
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:32.319
then I hear this noise and I
hear and I'm in my tent. I'm

91
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.879
not seeing anything outside of it because
it's closed up, and I stop.

92
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.480
I'm like on my stomach, frozen, like I'm pretty sure I'm pale,

93
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.000
freaking out. But I didn't even
want to breathe because I thought it was

94
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:56.759
a bear. So I wait,
and I'm just like terrified. I'm hearing

95
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.199
this noise and about I don't know, thirty seconds A minute later, it

96
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.199
felt like ten minutes my friend that
was in the other tent opens his tent

97
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.279
and I can see him with the
slash light. So I opened my tent

98
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.079
right away and I was like,
I think that's a bear and he's like,

99
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.560
it's not a bear. There's nothing
there. I'm like, I heard

100
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.319
it, like I heard it next
to the tent. I heard it breathing,

101
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.319
like I it's something is there.
And he was like, nothing is

102
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.519
there. Just go back to the
bed. I'm like, no, like,

103
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.120
something is there. He's like,
and he's with the splash light.

104
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.720
He's looking around. He's like,
there's no way that bear can at least

105
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.720
run that fast. And he's like, there's nothing there. He's like,

106
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.240
I heard it, but there's nothing
there. So I go back in my

107
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.679
tent and I was like, no, I just had this odd feeling.

108
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.279
I was like, whatever that is
is coming back, and so I get

109
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.600
my stuff because my car is like
ten feet away. It's like right there,

110
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.879
pretty close to my our camping spot. And this area is pretty open

111
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.639
and like it's not like super wooded
or anything like that's it. There's a

112
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.879
lot of trees and things like that, but there's just to give context,

113
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.080
there's like a little bridge there's like
parking areas for people when they go down

114
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.679
to the bath, so it still
has an open area in the middle.

115
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.159
So I grab my stuff and I
go by his tent. He's like making

116
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.600
fun of me. He's like what, I'm like, you guys have fun.

117
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.799
That thing is coming back, whatever
that is coming back. And I

118
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:35.919
get right to my car and I
smell the most pungent, disgusting smell I've

119
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.480
ever smelled in my life, like
poop and wet dog, And at that

120
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.519
moment, I was like, that's
bigfoot. I get in my car and

121
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.279
the rest of that night is history. It was like, I get in

122
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.159
my car, I grab my drum. I'm a drummer. I do Native

123
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.799
American singing and drumming, Indigenous singing
and drumming, So I I grab my

124
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.600
drum and I just was like,
I do not know what I'm in for

125
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:11.679
tonight, but we are in for
something, and we were and about I

126
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.320
don't know. Thirty minutes an hour
later, I just start to see,

127
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.120
like I start to hear things.
I start to hear like slight banging,

128
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.720
but it's not incredibly loud at first, And as the night goes on and

129
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.399
it's like eleven o'clock midnight one am. It starts to get louder, and

130
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.279
I hear my friend and the other
elder talking to each other. But I

131
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.080
see my friend with their flashlight and
they're getting something out of their tent.

132
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.039
I'm like, cause I can see
through my car window. I'm not talking

133
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.519
to anyone. I'm just watching this
happen. I'm like, there's no way

134
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.440
I'm getting out of this car.
And so I'm looking at my friend like

135
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.480
frantically trying to get something. And
so I hear him like tell like the

136
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.759
elder, like I think it's the
little people or like bigfoots behind the tree.

137
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.840
I can see that I can see
something or hear something, and he's

138
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.240
like trying to get food, to
offer them food, because we get taught

139
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.159
that, like you give them an
offering, and so he's throwing like I

140
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.559
think apples are something out there,
just so they have an offering and whatnot.

141
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.159
So I think I fall asleep for
about an hour, maybe hour and

142
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.600
a half. I wake up again
to the same thing. They're talking to

143
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.759
each other, and he's like,
I think the bigfoot is behind the tree,

144
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.799
and I remember I start drumming,
and I start singing, and it's

145
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:46.440
pretty common for us to talk about
Bigfoot coming to ceremony, and so I

146
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.279
like hear him pin a panic.
But then I look over and I see

147
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.519
the elder's tent flipped over, and
the elder is like, I think the

148
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.960
female Bigfoot's putting and the little people
are putting poop in my now, and

149
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.320
I am just like, what is
happening right now? And I'm looking at

150
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.600
the tent completely flipped. I'm like, I do not know what happened.

151
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.360
And so they're talking to each other
and he's like, I don't know.

152
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.399
Do I give him an offering?
Like what do we do? And so

153
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.320
I hear that for a while.
Then probably about a half hour later,

154
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:30.519
an hour later, it starts to
get really loud. The banging starts to

155
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.440
get loud. It's like they're banging
cars or they're grabbing rocks and throwing them.

156
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.200
And I see the campers that are
not with us. They have nothing

157
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.240
to do with the ceremony, nothing
to do with vision quest. I see

158
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.879
them open their door and start to
look for the flashlight, like their flashlight,

159
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.240
and like they're flashing their light out
there, and I'm like, this

160
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.639
is not just us. Hearing this, and it progressively got louder and louder

161
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.559
as the time went on. I
just sat in my car and I did

162
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.279
not know what to do because I
was like, this is insane. I

163
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.159
cracked the window a little bit I
was hearing. I never heard any growls

164
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.039
or anything, but it was like
the constant beating of something. And so

165
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.240
I there's a big fit song that
we drum, and so I think I

166
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.759
sang that. And it was probably
like pretty close to the sun coming up,

167
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.679
and I could start to hear the
birds like chirping, but I was

168
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.000
hearing the banging getting louder and louder. And then as the sun came up,

169
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:45.080
and as I could start to see
everything and the birds were getting louder,

170
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:52.960
I hear one final bang. It
was like if they grabbed a boulder

171
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:58.840
or something, just through it,
and then it just stopped. About fifteen

172
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.639
twenty minutes later, my friend comes
out of their tent. The elder comes

173
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:07.440
out of their tent, and I
see them and I feel safe, and

174
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.799
I was like something like what was
that. They're like we were visited.

175
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.080
I was like, do you think
you think we were? And he can

176
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.679
so we're talking about it. And
he's like, go back to sleep,

177
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.480
and I'm like, I can't.
You can sleep after that? I cannot,

178
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.879
And so they're like making fun of
me. If you do ceremony,

179
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.200
you get used to this kind of
stuff happening. So I go down to

180
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.200
the fire because when they're ceremony happening, there's always a fire. You're holding

181
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.320
the space with fire, and they
code down the elders down there, and

182
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:46.279
I'm just like trying to get the
story out, like my anxiety. I'm

183
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.039
like freaking out, and he's just
laughing and he's like so bigfooting for his

184
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.399
woman, and I was like,
this is not funny. And I ended

185
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:03.399
up getting the name in my community
big fits Girlfriend. And that was what

186
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.639
happened in that occasion. But it
has not been my only run in with

187
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.159
Bigfoot, but that was probably the
most prevalent one. It was like the

188
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:22.200
first time I had that. But
since then, Bigfoot has stuck around and

189
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.159
I've had experiences here and there.
I also had an experience in Yosemite where

190
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.399
I was with friends. We were
at a back glacier point and we were

191
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.120
in Yosemite for a few days,
and when you go to glacier point at

192
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.200
night. They have the guy that's
he has like the laser and if you

193
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.320
haven't been to Glacier Point, it's
like where you can see half Dome and

194
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.600
you can just see all of Yosemite. It's absolutely gorgeous. We went there

195
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.039
during the day and someone was like, you guys, got to come back

196
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.639
here at night so you can see
the stars. And they give a presentation.

197
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.240
So we did that. It's like
almost over, and we decided to

198
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.279
walk back to our cars pretty early, me and my friends, where everybody

199
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.919
else in our group was still there. I think there was like ten of

200
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.600
us or something, and so the
three of us decided, let's go back

201
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.279
to the car early and we can
head back to the airbnb, or just

202
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.919
wait for everybody to get to their
car before everybody starts walking, because there's

203
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.519
quite a bit of people. There's
I think fifty people out there, and

204
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.360
so a few people started got that
idea and was also walking back to their

205
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:33.759
car. And so we get back
into the parking lot area. It's not

206
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.919
that far of a walk down,
and I just remember it got really quiet.

207
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:44.440
I could see my friend, I
could see her sister, and we're

208
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.000
walking down and I'm just like hearing
this banging as we get closer to the

209
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:53.840
bathroom areas and it got really early
quiet, Like I was just like where

210
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.360
did everybody go? Like I knew
we weren't the only ones that walked down.

211
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.799
And we get closer this bathroom and
I'm just hearing this bang. Like

212
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.359
there's the chains that are below that
I think like block off some of the

213
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.240
trees and things like that. It
was like someone was grabbing the chains and

214
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.839
messing with them. I was like, that's so annoying, Like who is

215
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.839
doing that? Some kid? I
don't know, Like they need to stop.

216
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.519
The adult in me was like irritated
at that point. And so we're

217
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.640
walking past the bathroom and I'm like, that must be someone by the bathroom.

218
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.880
But I look into the bathroom and
it's dark. No one's in there

219
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.279
as we're walking by, and I'm
like, that's really strange. And we

220
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.759
passed that bathroom and we're almost to
the car. The car was going to

221
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.920
be to the left of us,
and I remember hearing this deep growl.

222
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:56.240
It was like and I was like, I look at my friend and I

223
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:03.559
was like run we run to the
car, and the three of us do

224
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.160
we run to my car actually,
and I'm just like, do not know

225
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.240
what's happening. We get in my
car and I would look at my friend

226
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.119
and I was like, did you
hear that? And she was like yes,

227
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.000
and I'm like I and then I
asked her sister. I'm like,

228
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.640
did you hear that? And there
she was like no, I just thought

229
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.519
you guys running and I ran and
so I was like, y'all, I

230
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.480
think that's bigfoot. There's no way
that's a bear. There's no way that's

231
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.119
a mountain lion. Like I've been
around those things. That's not that.

232
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.319
And so they had heard the banging
too and things like that. They're like,

233
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.240
we just thought someone was hitting something. And it's like I get We

234
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.880
get in the car and I drive
back like to the I drive to the

235
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.440
part of the parking lot that happened
because it was just right there. But

236
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.440
I turned the car back that way
and I just like offered it a song.

237
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.480
But I was so terrified at that
point, and so we end up

238
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:02.200
going back. And to give context, my friends are not there. They

239
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.720
don't do ceremony, they don't do
any of that. So none of like

240
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:10.119
they have never experienced what I do, and that they knew what I did

241
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.839
and things like that. They knew
that I was a healer, but they're

242
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.799
not in that world like I am. So for them they had they were

243
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:21.000
like, we don't know what's going
on, and so I've explained to them

244
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.799
that was probably back the one with
vision Quest happened probably and like I think

245
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:36.200
I was like thirty two thirty three, so that was probably like twenty fourteen

246
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.079
around there, and then maybe twenty
fifteen, and then the one in Yosemite

247
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:49.960
I think was probably around twenty seventeen, and that was probably the last time

248
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.480
that I had like a big encounter
of Bixit like that. But I've had

249
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:59.640
little stuff here and there that I'm
like, but that hasn't been like those

250
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:07.559
two. But those are my two
really big encounters with them. Luna,

251
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.440
thank you for sharing something that came
to mind while you were talking. I

252
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.319
was like, man, it just
brought it brought something to mind. There's

253
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.319
an old bigfoot website called Bigfoot Encounters, and they have a section about Mount

254
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:27.079
Shasta about different there's a lot of
different Bigfoot interactions that have happened over the

255
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.880
years around Mount Shasta. Oh yeah, I have a lot of friends that

256
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:38.319
have a similar story. Oh,
I'm sure one of the accounts is a

257
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.000
let's see, I'm just going to
read it real quick. Bigfoot came out

258
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.519
of the forest, knocking off a
branch at the nineteen foot level. This

259
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.400
is by Bunny Flat's campground. Bigfoot
gave them a crystal and went back into

260
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.680
the woods. A medicine man named
Charlie Tom said, if you're in trouble

261
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.640
in the woods, to sing the
Bigfoot song and Bigfoot would help you.

262
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:07.200
So Charlie Tom is actually what is
the I never met him because when I

263
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.680
started doing ceremony with Walking Eagle,
like he had already passed, but he

264
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:17.680
was like their intercessor before Walki Eagle
took over. I believe, do you

265
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.240
want me to sing the song?
I can sing the song the song that

266
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.599
I know. I was gonna get
there and around about ways, but I

267
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.880
didn't want to be like very offensive
because it's a super cultural thing. I

268
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.720
would imagine, but yeah, go
right ahead. Before usually I asked spirit,

269
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.960
I just always tell people like always
like respect the medicine and things like

270
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.160
that. I don't have my drum
with me and I might not sing the

271
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.319
song correctly because it's been a while, but I'll sing the verse that my

272
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.039
elder taught me that I you know, Charlie Tom did teach him. So

273
00:21:51.119 --> 00:22:00.519
it was like yeah he yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah he yay

274
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:10.200
o yeah yeah y and you would
sing that four times. The elders also

275
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:15.039
taught me like that, if you
hit the tree three times in a row,

276
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.559
you could be calling Bigfoot two.
And that does happen in Mount Shasta.

277
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.519
There's so many stories. That's just
my Bigfoot story. I could give

278
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:27.599
you stories about a lot of things
that have I've seen and I've experienced,

279
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:36.400
but that area, there is so
many stories of people running into big fit.

280
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.680
Actually, that story that you said
is the first time I've heard someone

281
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.440
running into Bigxa on Mount Shasta.
Because Bunny Flats is pretty up there,

282
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.640
Bunny, have you been to Mount
Shasta. I haven't had the privilege of

283
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.160
actually going to a lot of areas
out there. I'm in Central Iowa,

284
00:22:51.279 --> 00:23:00.319
so okay. So Bunny Flats is
right before like right the high that you

285
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.680
can go in the winter because they
close or actually even in the spring about

286
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.440
ten months of the year because they
close the road right at Benny Flats.

287
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.200
It's where a lot of the skiers
go, the skiers will stay the night

288
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.680
there. So there's a lot of
interesting experiences at Bunny Flats. Past Bunny

289
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.839
Flats, the highest you can go
is Panther Meadows, and a lot of

290
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:26.200
Mount Shasta is care territory. So
Charlie Tom and a lot of the elders

291
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:33.200
that in the wind to it,
I believe, and so you hear a

292
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.400
lot of the stories from them.
I can't remember though, if that vision

293
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.319
quest was the vision quest that elder
taught me the big Fit song, so

294
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.839
as possible we called it, could
have called it in that way. But

295
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.440
there are stories. I have a
friend that they flit like when in for

296
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:53.680
another car driving out there. A
lot of the locals we talk about it.

297
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.400
It's very much like almost like a
part of just living there. Even

298
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:03.359
like the ranchers just wow people that
what you wouldn't think, like they don't

299
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.400
really believe in this stuff. It's
not anything that they're into, but they

300
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.079
have the experience. And so within
the community we talk about Bigfoot, the

301
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.599
Lamerians, the little people, the
fairies, like that's all very common.

302
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.920
Yeah, it's all very common if
you ever go to Mount Shasta, just

303
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.839
it's just the stories like from the
locals before I moved there, like it

304
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.839
was just I would I went to
the Motel six to get a room and

305
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.000
the girl was like yeah, and
the Limerians she was like talking about it

306
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.400
like nothing, like they all talk
about it like normal. Wow. Okay,

307
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.440
listeners probably right now are like I'm
going to reach through the phone and

308
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.960
just take me out, Like you
didn't even address what her story was.

309
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:51.240
Don't worry, guys were getting there. But so this the Bigfoot song that

310
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:56.440
Charlie Tom had, is that that's
the same song that you were singing in

311
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.839
your cow. I I think so. One of the elders taught it to

312
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.400
me. I'm not completely sure sure
because everything gets passed down through storytelling.

313
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.480
One of the elder that taught me
he taught me while we were at ceremony.

314
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.920
But it might be the same one, because I know someone else who

315
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.480
thinks it. If not, it
just really depends. But the medicine is

316
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.680
there and they call them in that
way, or you give the respect to

317
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:30.279
Bigfoot in that way. Yeah,
the song is beautiful. Does any of

318
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:37.160
it translate to does it come across
it all in English? Or is it

319
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.920
a saying where we're just we're really
not able to understand what's being said in

320
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:48.319
the song. I remember him telling
me, but I don't quite remember what

321
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.400
the direct translation was in so long. Yeah, I remember the words.

322
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.400
I always remember the words to the
songs. I don't always remember the translation,

323
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:03.319
but I do remember someone else that
was that. I'm still friends with

324
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.640
a lot of them and do ceremony
with them that told me that the song

325
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.000
was I think maybe to the from
the mother Bigfoot to the baby Bigfoot.

326
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:18.559
I'm not positive though, because it's
been a while, but for me when

327
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.079
I sing the song as it was
always just about like giving that respect.

328
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.039
But I don't sing it often because
I definitely don't want to be calling them,

329
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.160
oh yeah, a thing I wanted
to bring up or ask you.

330
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.640
Is it a thing where people would
have to be careful actually playing that clip,

331
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:44.680
like if they're out in the woods
that it could actually do something or

332
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:49.039
is like the recording wouldn't be as
potent as like if it's an actual in

333
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:57.319
real life ceremony. I think for
me because I just am always in that

334
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.079
space like I know what to be
honest, I'm not positive because it's happened

335
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.960
to me at random times and we've
sang that song and not had an experience

336
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:12.319
with Bigfoot. I just think it's
bigfoot does what bigfoot does, So yeah,

337
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:17.160
you could be opening that invitation,
but you just never really know.

338
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.519
But if if someone's just listening to
it because they want to see Bigfoot,

339
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.839
most of the time that doesn't happen. I think it really has to be

340
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:32.279
like you're in your heart and because
Bigfoot can sense that, so it just

341
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:37.160
really depends. I wasn't expecting that
and it happened. So I think a

342
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.599
lot of times it's like when we
don't have the expectation. But I've also

343
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.440
been told you can hit the trees
three times with the branch and you're calling

344
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:48.920
them in. I don't know.
I've left like like pocados out for Bigfoot

345
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.720
and things like that, but just
to honor him, not because I want

346
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.559
to like or them, not because
I want to have that experience again,

347
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.279
because it literally since then I do
not camp. I literally don't go camp,

348
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.359
and if I do, I sleep
in my car. I will not

349
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:10.079
sleep in a tent. It's not
happening. It's interesting you brought up the

350
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:15.720
knock or the three times, because
that's the thing, like I've recorded wood

351
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.960
knocks myself in Iowa in a weekend
out in the woods, and like the

352
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:26.160
wood knocks I recorded were sets of
three, and that comes up in many

353
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.039
different interviews that I've done over the
years. It's just really it's an interesting

354
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:37.119
little fact that I don't know.
It's a thread that keeps running through it,

355
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.680
and there's many different threads I feel
like as well. But getting back

356
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.920
to your first encounter that you had, you mentioned at the beginning, like

357
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.799
you did actually see bigfoot the one
time at the beginning. Yeah, thinking

358
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.440
back to that, are you able
to describe, like in any way what

359
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:03.920
you saw or if you remember certain
characteristics about what you saw? Yeah,

360
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:08.799
So what I think I saw was
a female bigfoot, and I remember it

361
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:17.079
like the way that it walked was
like it like almost but like upright,

362
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:22.200
and the hair was almost like this
very pretty orangey brown. I do remember

363
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.599
that and thinking that was interesting.
But the shape of it just seemed like

364
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:33.359
it was either like a junior bigfoot
or like it was a female. And

365
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.000
yeah, I will never forget that. I think that image will always be

366
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.480
with me. That was the only
time that I physically saw a bigfoot.

367
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.799
And then when and then I smelled
them. Actually, no, I think

368
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:52.319
I've smelled them like twice. So
were you able to see anything of the

369
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:57.920
face of the bigfoot at all during
that time? So it was when it

370
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.319
was walking, it was like I
could see the side, so I saw

371
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.240
more of the profile. I remember
like it had a lot more hair,

372
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:14.359
like around the hands, and the
face looked more like man and ape mixed

373
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.599
together, more like a smash nose, like like the crinkly skin around like

374
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:26.519
the cheeks and the nose in that
area. I do remember that, But

375
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:32.720
it wasn't this super dark like hair
that I think a lot of times people

376
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.920
see or think of when they think
of Vixit longer hair, shorter hair.

377
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:45.480
You remember anything about the length,
So the body like shaggy, a little

378
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.720
bit, a little bit matted in
some areas. I would say probably about

379
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:56.160
like three inches of hair, maybe
four, but like around like the lower

380
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.400
part of the arms is where I
felt like it it was long hair and

381
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.839
around like the feet area, lower
legs. I would say more like that's

382
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.640
more like four or five inches.
Sure, did you get a feel for

383
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:21.400
how tall it seemed to be?
I would say, well over seven feet

384
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:29.160
It was pretty tall. My ex
was probably like six' four, so

385
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.599
I would say was at least a
foot taller than him. Wow. Yeah,

386
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.000
you mentioned it was moving like an
ape. Can you go into more

387
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:45.559
detail about what that would mean to
you about how something would move my arms?

388
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.920
Okay, the arm movement just like
clunky and clumsy even with the legs,

389
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.920
but upright, completely upright like a
human would walk, but a little

390
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:02.599
hunched, just a tad not like
extreme, but like the arms seemed really

391
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.440
dangly and lengthy. I do remember
that. I'm like, that is so

392
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.519
strange, and it was just like
walking through in the woods and I just

393
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:19.359
remember like just that big, clunky
kind of walk, like long strides and

394
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.640
what this long strides were like the
arms going with it. But it wasn't

395
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.880
like smooth. It was just like
I don't know, not like a bounce,

396
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:37.279
but and it looked balanced. But
it was like the way that the

397
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.839
arms moved. I remember. It
was just that's what it reminded me of

398
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:49.039
an ape a little bit. The
jest is really interesting, especially with the

399
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:54.279
color of the hair. That color
comes out quite a bit. Sometimes It's

400
00:32:54.359 --> 00:33:00.799
like it's interesting when people that are
not into Bigfoot, when I talk to

401
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.880
them and They're like it looked like
in a range and tan I'm like,

402
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:08.559
oh, man, that is just
it's weird how that comes out sometimes.

403
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:13.880
But you're for some reason, I
feel like the bigfoots in that area are

404
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:19.240
that color or that seems to be
that I don't know, like and I've

405
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.960
noticed when people talk about bigfoot like
in different parts of the world, like

406
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:28.480
there's like different like fur colors,
or they'll be like a specific kind of

407
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.000
like big foot that they see in
like the West coast, and then maybe

408
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.960
on the East Coast it's something else. Or I know people talk about the

409
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.480
yetties and things like that, but
that one seems to be more like the

410
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:47.559
common I feel like in that area. Are there the bigfoot in the Mount

411
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.960
Shasta area from what you've heard?
Do they all have? How many toes

412
00:33:53.000 --> 00:34:00.720
do they have? Oh? I
don't know. I just remember it being

413
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:05.920
like a really big like I could
see the foot that I didn't get a

414
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.159
chance to really look at the toes, and I asked that. Sometimes every

415
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.280
once in a while they'll be like, oh, it's so no four toed

416
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.880
big foot in the area. It
sounds like, which is a good thing

417
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:24.079
that can get pretty I haven't heard. Yeah, I haven't heard them.

418
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:30.599
I think most of what I've I
think a lot of times too, people

419
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.480
are so shocked when that happens that
they don't even have a chance to look

420
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:38.400
at the feet or anything. Like
I just remember I probably got like a

421
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:45.960
good thirty seconds or something of like
just staring, yeah, until I was

422
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:49.559
like I and the next napped out
of it, like I was like,

423
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:55.320
I need to go back, Like
it was pretty shocking, but I yeah,

424
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:01.599
the growling part has definitely been interesting
too. But like they a few

425
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.559
people have talked about how like sometimes
they'll stare that didn't happen to me.

426
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:07.800
I don't know what I would have
done if that would have happened to me,

427
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:14.039
to be honest. But yeah,
feet wise, though, I do

428
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:20.360
remember the feet were pretty big,
gotcha. And the hands, Like the

429
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:24.920
hands and the feet just seemed like
you didn't fit with the link of the

430
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:30.719
body, if that makes sense.
How far I do you remember that?

431
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.400
How far down did the hands Let's
say you're looking at the side, you've

432
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.440
got arms and hands at the end
of them, how far did those go

433
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:43.079
down on the side of the body, Like, how far hanging down were

434
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:57.039
those I would say probably we think
I would say, I feel like almost

435
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:04.679
to the knee or around there.
Okay, it's just I just remember it

436
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:09.559
being really like dangly, but like
I remember the hands being really big and

437
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:19.079
really hairy, but so were the
feet. So it sounds like it was

438
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.960
a pretty non aggressive encounter, which
is a great thing. That's how I

439
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.880
took it from your story. I
guess you would be the final say,

440
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:29.760
since you were the one actually there, would you say when I saw it

441
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:36.840
was not aggressive? Okay, yeah, the one, well, the one

442
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.480
I mean that the next night,
I would say, definitely freaked me out.

443
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:43.280
I don't know why they were throwing
stuff, And I still ask myself

444
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.639
to that day, like why what
was the point of that? And then

445
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:51.159
what was the point to graul?
So I'm like I have always asked,

446
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.480
I'm like, do they want something
of me? I don't know. I

447
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:59.239
don't have a question to that because
it's just like it's been a few like

448
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.880
interesting encounters, and I'm like,
I don't have an answer. They've never

449
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:09.440
done anything to me or to anyone
that I know that is harmful. Just

450
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:15.320
everyone is scared. Oh sure,
yeah, you mentioned that You've also heard

451
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:22.480
some things from friends acquaintances around the
same area. Are there any come to

452
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:28.119
mind that you'd be able to share
Of other accounts that you've heard, The

453
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:32.840
one that I can share would be
that he was driving home I think from

454
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.599
work. It was pretty late at
night in Mount Shasta, and Bigfoot just

455
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:39.360
went in front of the car and
stopped and looked at him. But he's

456
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:45.480
also another friend of mine that does
ceremony and with the same well, his

457
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.400
family is the one that does it. So I was like when he told

458
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:51.599
me that story, he told me
a few other ones, and so a

459
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.519
lot of us within that community had
our Bigfoot encounters. But even outside of

460
00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:04.559
it there's people too. Bigfoot is
just really active in that area. I

461
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:09.119
don't know if people can camp out
in Stuart Springs anymore because they've since COVID

462
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:15.800
they closed down that the part of
going, like the part of being able

463
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.199
to take a bath in the spring
area and stuff, or in the spring

464
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.760
baths that they have, but they
do have like camp They did have camping

465
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:28.159
in Hotel. I just don't know
if it's still opened. I think it

466
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:34.760
might be. But the around there
around Siski Lake, there is camping at

467
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:40.119
Siski Lake and around the mountain areas
where I feel like a lot more people

468
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:47.960
have had experiences. So you in
the town like area, I haven't heard

469
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.639
too much, but when you start
to get more on the outskirts of the

470
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.119
town, so you have like the
mountains that are like in the Sisky Lake

471
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.119
is to the west, and then
mount shapes more to like the east of

472
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:06.719
town, and so that's a separate
drive when you go up the mountain and

473
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.719
you go to like sand flats and
then funny flats and panther meadows. There's

474
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.679
a whole other like out of stories
people have like in that area too,

475
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:23.000
is a lot, but it sounds
like some of them don't really have the

476
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:28.280
go ahead to share, which is
totally understandable. Yeah, I would have

477
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:30.760
to ask because some of them have
to do with ceremony, and I'm like,

478
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.960
I don't know if I have permission
with those, that's why. But

479
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.360
the one in front of the car, I'm sure it's fine. But I

480
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:43.760
remember when he told me about that, Like actually there was somebody else though

481
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.480
I'm not like close friends with him. It was just I went to an

482
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:52.239
event and he talked about Bigfoot and
he said that he had an experience with

483
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:59.000
Bigfoot and up in the mountain,
I think, and Bigfoot was like behind

484
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.159
the tree, or he saw Bigfoot
behind the tree and like just like stared

485
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:07.239
at him. I can't remember if
it was like around the Bunny Flats area,

486
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.800
because it was like probably it was
quite probably like eight years ago when

487
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:16.599
I heard this story at an event, but I know that he had that

488
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:22.039
experience up there with them, probably
multiple times. Well, for some reason,

489
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.639
the people that I have heard that
have had the run ins with Bigfoot

490
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.280
tend to have multiple up there,
Like it's not just a one time deal,

491
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.199
like he comes back or they come
back. I would say, see

492
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:43.280
or she or they it happens again. That seems to be an occurring,

493
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:49.119
a reoccurring thread as well. Do
you have any thoughts as to some witnesses

494
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.960
they do seem to have multiple interactions
with Bigfoot. Do you think there might

495
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:58.000
be a reason for that or My
personal reason is I think that they're just

496
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:07.760
people that Bigfoot is connected to or
like they have that energy. That's what

497
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.679
I take, because I've been asking
myself that question for a really long time,

498
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:15.679
because it's just they continue to do
it. I haven't really been out

499
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:19.239
in the mountains too long. I
did live in Mount when I lived in

500
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.079
Dunsmere. When I lived in Mount
Shasta, I never had a bigfoot run

501
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.760
in. But before then I did
a lot, and I just was always

502
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.480
like why, And my other friends
that had the same thing like, they

503
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.000
didn't know either. My thought was
always like, maybe, like we hold

504
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:40.480
something that bigfoot respects. I don't
know. I still to this day just

505
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:46.719
continued to ask that question. But
I went to Yosemite recently. I did

506
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.559
not have an experience then because I
wasn't able to go to Glacier Point or

507
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.239
go to too many places because it
was only for a day, for twenty

508
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:59.320
four hours. I do remember hearing
noises outside, but I don't know exactly

509
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:04.679
what it was. Were in a
cabin. But I just think that maybe

510
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.679
the big fits like there's some people
that they're attracted to for whatever reason.

511
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:15.199
That's really the only explanation I can
think of at this point. There's going

512
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:21.920
to be some people listening to this
that have never heard of Mount Shasta before,

513
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:27.840
and this is totally like they have
no idea what Mount Shasta is.

514
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:31.760
Have you ever experienced anything else out
of the ordinary in the Mount shast area?

515
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.920
How much time do you have.
It's like loaded question, right,

516
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:44.039
that is a loaded question. A
lot. I've experienced a lot in my

517
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.480
life. I was born with my
abilities, so I have always had weird

518
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:52.000
experiences since i was a little girl. But my experiences that I've had and

519
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.599
I've had experiences where I've seen things, not just being up there, but

520
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:04.280
my experiences that I've had a mount
shast Like I physically had those experiences.

521
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:12.920
Like there was no if, ants
or butts about it. I like,

522
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:15.519
do you want me to pick one? Because I'm like, there's a lot.

523
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:22.719
Yeah, I've pretty much for like
seven years. Oh wow, okay,

524
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:28.119
whatever you feel comfortable sharing. And
I realized we don't have hours and

525
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:32.320
hours, but like, if you
feel comfortable sharing a few things, definitely,

526
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:37.559
yeah, that'd be great. So
I've had quite a few up in

527
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:45.800
the Panther Meadows Bunny Flats area.
I'm trying to think of one that I

528
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:51.519
had an experience with the Man of
the Mountains there is I had heard about

529
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.880
the Man of the Mountain for a
really long time. And when you so,

530
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.639
Bunny Flats is only open three months
out of the year. It is

531
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:05.239
a very sacred areas where a lot
of tribes would actually stay in the summer,

532
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.239
so it's really protected. It's also
protected because of the plants and the

533
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:12.559
ecosystem up there. And in the
winter, obviously you can't really go up

534
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:16.000
there. You're at the top of
the volcano, like there's tons of snow,

535
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:21.559
it's not safe. But in the
summertime you can go camp and all

536
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:28.840
that fun stuff. So I think
I had just moved, like permanently moved

537
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:37.840
up there. And I want to
say this was probably October twenty seven,

538
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:45.400
No, either twenty seventeen or twenty
eighteen. It was either before I had

539
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:50.599
moved to Dunsmuir or the year after. And so I went up and I

540
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.320
remember it being like, I think
a few days before Halloween, because they

541
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:59.320
always close it around like the thirty
first of November or being of October or

542
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.199
first of no depending on whether.
Sometimes it's earlier, sometimes it's a little

543
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.639
later. So I remember going up
there and I was like, I want

544
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.599
to go on a hike. I
never had an issue going up by myself

545
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:14.719
because there's tons of people up there
all the time, and so when you're

546
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.760
up a panther meadows, you're up
there with like one hundred people fifty people

547
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:24.119
that are just up there and it's
open, there's trails everywhere. Had gone

548
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:27.599
the day before, and I went
back up because I knew they were going

549
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.280
to close it for the season.
And so that used to be where the

550
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:37.639
old ski bowl was, so it's
called call a called Old Ski Bowl area,

551
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:42.679
and that used to be where the
ski park was. Now it's I

552
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.159
think down the mountain more. I
haven't actually been there because I'm not a

553
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:52.400
skier or a snowboard sporder. So
I remember going back and I was like,

554
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.400
okay, like I want to try
a different like trail area, and

555
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:58.119
it's open, like there's not a
lot of trees, because once you get

556
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:01.119
closer to the top of the volcano
area, the trees are different looking.

557
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:07.119
They're strange looking to me. And
I was like, I don't remember that

558
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.840
trail there yesterday. Let me go
down it. So I go down and

559
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.320
I think I had even done like
a Facebook live or something, and I

560
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:20.480
went out and drummed, and I
had my drum with me, and I'm

561
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:25.360
going down this trail and I stopped
a bit and was doing my thing,

562
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:29.000
and I was going back on the
trail. I was like, I think

563
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:30.400
I want to go up this week
because I don't know if the water's over

564
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:35.199
here. I was trying to look
for the water that comes out of the

565
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.480
top of the mountain. There's like
a spout, and my friends had told

566
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:42.320
me about it, but I could
never find it. It was actually easier

567
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.280
than what I thought, but that
day I did not find it. So

568
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:51.000
I'm going back down. It's like
to the left and more into like where

569
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:53.519
a lot of the more of the
trees were at, and I see this

570
00:46:53.639 --> 00:47:00.679
old man with a cane and I
remember I'm like, oh wow, like

571
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:05.119
he does not care all right,
cool, like good for him, like

572
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:10.400
getting some work out. So I
see him walking really slow, and I

573
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:15.079
was like, let me walk this
way. But then like I look back

574
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.280
and I'm like, don't see him. And I'm like, how did he

575
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.360
move that fast? And so I
keep walking towards that way and I see

576
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:30.360
him going like towards this other area
and I'm like, this is so weird.

577
00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:37.079
And so I don't know what in
me thought it was like, yeah,

578
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:42.760
let me follow this old man to
this area. And I see him

579
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:49.960
and I hear him banging his cane
against like different parts like where he was

580
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:54.840
walking, and I'm like, I
think he wants me to follow him.

581
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:04.199
So I go and I'm like,
what's over here? And I'm walking and

582
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:08.159
there's other people here and there,
and I get to the part where it's

583
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:14.480
a hilly area, but he's up
the hill already. I'm like, what

584
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.519
is happening here? And I start
walking up and I had just had vertigo

585
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:27.199
that year, and so I was
taking it slow. And I get to

586
00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:30.800
the middle of it and just something
and he was like, I don't know

587
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.119
about this, Like I'm not I'm
like, if he wants to take me

588
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.639
in the mountain, I'm not quite
ready for that. And he was walking

589
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:44.440
up on the top and I stopped
and I was like, I need to

590
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:50.639
go back down. It was just
a small kind of hill and I start

591
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.360
going back down, but I feel
like I got lost. I don't know

592
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.679
why, Like there's no way to
get lost. I just need to go

593
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:59.239
back down. So I'm like trying
to find my way down souse. It's

594
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:05.760
not a a long walk. It's
like twenty feet thirty feet back down,

595
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:13.440
and I see like this like a
little like whend tornado does tornado happening at

596
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:17.239
the bottom. And then I felt
like I was like which we am I

597
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:22.760
supposed to go. And so he's
back down that hill and I was like,

598
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:29.800
this is so weird, and so
he starts hitting against rocks and things

599
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.639
to help me down so I can
find my way back down, and I

600
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:39.320
did, and he goes ahead,
and I'm going back out towards like the

601
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.639
area where a lot more people are
at and things like that, closer to

602
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:47.920
the parking area and past the trees, so I can get into that area,

603
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:54.039
and he's gone, like he's not
there anymore. And I look around.

604
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:59.840
I'm like, there is no way
this old man with a cane is

605
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.519
gone. I look around, I'm
looking, and I get past those trees

606
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:09.599
and I'm looking again, and I'm
getting closer towards the parking area, and

607
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:13.920
like right before the parking area,
it's all open. There's not a lot

608
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:17.840
of trees out there. There's like
little labyrinths that people make and things like

609
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:22.880
that, and you'll find a lot
of interesting stuff people leave hmm there.

610
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:30.400
And I am just like still like
trying to figure out what I just experienced.

611
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:32.840
And so all of a sudden,
I see someone working on the labyrinths.

612
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.559
Then I go up and I'm like, this looks really nice. You're

613
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:43.000
doing an amazing job. A person
starts freaking out and starts like their face

614
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.280
is covered. I can't see their
face. They have like like a hat

615
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.639
on, and I see that their
whole face is covered with like a wrap

616
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.880
or something like a scar. And
all of a sudden, like they just

617
00:50:53.280 --> 00:51:02.559
panic and they were like damn.
And I was like what. I just

618
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.599
run towards my car. I was
like, I don't know what's happening anymore,

619
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:12.079
and all of a sudden, I
run into this lady and I was

620
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:15.320
like, I don't know what's happening. I was just like, this is

621
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.239
so weird. I was like,
I just came to find the water.

622
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.119
Oh, I did find the water
that day. I was like, I

623
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.320
just came to find the water that
comes out of the mountain up here.

624
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:30.320
Someone told me about it, and
so she took me up, and I

625
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:32.039
mixed me emotional. She took me
up, we got some of the water,

626
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.320
and we went back down, and
actually like she gave me her number

627
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:40.559
when I'd seen her in town a
few times. But I don't think if

628
00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:44.119
it wasn't for her, I don't
know what I would have done, because

629
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:49.800
it brought me back. I felt
like I went into another timeline or fear.

630
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.920
I don't know what was happening,
and I just like felt like I

631
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:54.239
was a big back in my body. Once I could talk to her and

632
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:59.960
she showed me where the water was
and and whatnot. I will never forget

633
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.840
that day either like it and I
don't even have an explanation to what happened

634
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:07.559
that day. I'm like I wonder, I'm like, were they trying to

635
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:09.960
take me in the mountain? Like
was he trying to show me? Because

636
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.400
we've all talked about the Old Man
of the Mountain not exactly what I thought

637
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:20.760
was going to be. I've never
seen him again, but that was a

638
00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:27.360
pretty impactful experience for me, just
like Bigfoot. Yeah, so is that

639
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:30.719
a legend that kind of goes around
where other people have seen this Old Man

640
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:36.079
of the Mountain in that area.
Yeah, there's people that are like,

641
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:37.360
yeah, I sat and talked with
him. I was like, I didn't.

642
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:45.119
I did not. Yeah, so
there's people that have said that they've

643
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:47.840
gone in the mountain and I thought
that could be what was happening, or

644
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:52.800
maybe he wanted to talk to me, but I was like, I'm not

645
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:54.800
ready for that experience in myself.
I knew. I was like, I'm

646
00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:59.280
not emotionally ready for this. I'm
not spiritually ready for this. What happens

647
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.519
to Ie go in there and I
can't come back out. No, I'm

648
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:07.400
good, that's not happening here.
I was not ready, and so I

649
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:12.880
left, and I definitely there's times
that I've wanted to go back up there

650
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:16.119
by myself again, but I just
know I'm like, if that happens again,

651
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:20.519
I'm just going to freak out and
then the way anyway, so I

652
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:22.119
do go up there. I've been
up there plenty of times. I think

653
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.760
I went up there like a few
times again by myself, but normally now

654
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:31.360
I just go hiking with friends in
that area. But yeah, there's a

655
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:36.440
lot of stories that the people like
having conversations with him and things like that.

656
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.880
I never saw his face. He
was just he looked like an eighty

657
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:45.320
year old man slowly walking. So
I knew in my mind. I knew.

658
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:47.760
I was like, this has to
be him, because there's no way

659
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.320
he can make it up that hill
before I could. And in that like

660
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:59.880
literally like almost felt like seconds.
What if it. Yeah, if it's

661
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:05.599
like J. C. Brown stuck
in time trying to find the treasure of

662
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.519
Mount Shasta. Still, I don't
know. If you've read the stories of

663
00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:15.320
Jason oh Man, you've got to
check it out. There. So a

664
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:20.239
lot of people Mount Shasta known for
Bigfoot. There's and then there's the whole

665
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:27.039
Lumerian thing where people think there's a
city that's underneath Mount Shasta of a different

666
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:34.159
race of or sorry, how would
you explain it? So the Lamarians,

667
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:38.920
I know people that have said they've
seen them. The Lamians are like to

668
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:44.960
me, like when I've worked with
that energy, they're just like beans that

669
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:49.679
have the technology. Like they were
supposedly here for a long time and whatever

670
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.239
happened with the earth, they went
in because that's how they protect themselves or

671
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:58.960
whatnot. They're supposedly really tall and
have like white robes and things like that.

672
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:02.239
Seems to be what a lot of
people in town say. There's people

673
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:07.719
that have lived in town for years
decades, their family has and so they

674
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:12.320
talk about how like these tall people
would go into the stores and they would

675
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:16.360
buy things with gold, and those
are very common stories that a lot of

676
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:22.920
people have in town from family and
friends and their grandparents and things like that.

677
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:29.639
So supposedly like they are just advanced
beings who can't really be out in

678
00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:34.280
public anymore. That's what the main
kind of story that I've heard from everybody.

679
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:37.280
They always tell you that you're not
supposed to go past the tree line,

680
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:44.400
so like that's their area. You
like respect their area. But funny

681
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.679
thing is when I went to Panther
Meadows this summer, I had taken a

682
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:52.440
friend up there and we were looking
up at the tree line and she was

683
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:54.960
she saw something that looked like that, and then it like went away in

684
00:55:55.000 --> 00:56:00.840
an area that it would be impossible
for someone to hike in. So they're

685
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:06.400
there, they definitely will show themselves. I haven't heard of anyone recently see

686
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.599
any in town. I think that
it's been a long time since something like

687
00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:15.760
that has happened. But yeah,
there are people that have talked about the

688
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:20.440
city in the mountain, Pellows and
whatnot that Plesley have seen it. There

689
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.719
is someone that there are a few
people that talk about the entrance. I've

690
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.760
never seen it. I'm not too
sure where it's at. But when I

691
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.280
saw the Man of the Mountain,
that's what I thought. He was maybe

692
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:32.719
trying to show me, but I
was like, I backed out of that

693
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:38.920
experience. So I was like,
nothing, I'm good. Yeah. I've

694
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:46.920
read a few books about the mountain
area, and I think a common thread

695
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:52.400
in the books is that a lot
of people will they'll be missing or though

696
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:58.800
something will happen when they get above
the tree line. Is that something that

697
00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:02.039
you've heard as well. Yeah,
I've heard a lot of those stories,

698
00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:06.159
which is why I respect it.
I respect the power of the mountain.

699
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:09.400
You're also on a volcano. You
never know what didn't happen anyways, it's

700
00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:14.280
an active volcano. It hasn't erupted
in one hundred years, but still it's

701
00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:19.679
still active. But I just my
elders have always said you can go up

702
00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:22.199
there, for you are not to
go past the tree line, and I

703
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.440
respect that. There's a lot of
hikers that go past up there and they

704
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:29.760
don't go missing. They don't have
those experiences. Another experience, so that

705
00:57:29.800 --> 00:57:32.360
I do want to add to this
story because I feel like it's important because

706
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:36.119
it keeps coming up and I'm gonna
I'm like, okay, maybe I need

707
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:43.280
to tell it. Is one night
I was sleeping in bunny Flats and there's

708
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:45.480
a lot of people out there sleeping. There's a lot of skiers and people

709
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:50.519
that go snowboarding and things like sleep
there. And I remember I was sleeping

710
00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:52.559
up there because I just wanted to
sleep up in the mountain. It's a

711
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:54.519
mountain. I'm like, it's so
peaceful up there. So I was sleeping

712
00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:59.000
in my car, and that's a
common thing for a lot of people to

713
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:01.800
do when they go up and I
knew I wasn't going to be alone.

714
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:08.440
So I'm in my car and I
see this really bright blue light up on

715
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:14.719
the like the mountain area of Bunny
Flats. I'm like, that's really strange.

716
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:17.880
Maybe that's a hiker up there.
And about an hour later, I

717
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:23.679
see another really huge blue light.
And the rest of the night, I

718
00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:30.239
just kept seeing these huge blue lights
the size of the house just show up

719
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:35.400
on the mountain and I was like, and I kept looking at people outside

720
00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:37.519
that were coming back down from hiking, and it was really late. Some

721
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:42.920
hikers stay up there pretty late.
And I'm talking about this is the top

722
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:47.679
of the mountain that you can see
from the Bunny Flats area, and I

723
00:58:47.719 --> 00:58:51.559
was like, this is so strange. No one else is freaking out.

724
00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:52.719
What am I seeing. I try
to take a picture. It didn't come

725
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:58.679
out in my picture. And the
next day I back down, having I

726
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:01.000
think lunch with a friend and I'm
like, this happened to me. I'm

727
00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:07.679
like, is there like something up
there where they have lights? And she

728
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.360
was like no, She's like,
but it does happen that people see that,

729
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:15.760
And I was like what They were
the brightest blue lights ever, like

730
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:22.000
they look luminescent. And I was
like, oh, okay, so that's

731
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.280
not normal. And there's times that
you go up there and you may have

732
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:31.400
that experience too, So that was
probably I don't care remember if that happened.

733
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:34.920
That happened to me After the Man
of the Mountain, I think that

734
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:37.679
was probably like a year later.
I think the thing with the mountain is

735
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:43.880
it caused a lot of people and
you just never know what your experience is

736
00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:45.400
going to be there. Like I
felt my calling to the mountain, but

737
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:50.360
I've always been like two hours away
from her. I called her mama,

738
00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:52.159
seep the mountain, like, I
have so much respect for that area.

739
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:55.840
It's so healing. I had only
gone once when I was a kid to

740
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:02.800
visit a family member that lived up
there, or but when I started to

741
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:07.159
go back in like twenty twelve,
like on my own. I just felt

742
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:12.719
that connection, and a lot of
people that come to Mount Shasta talk about

743
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.280
that. And there's a lot of
people from Japan that come visit because there's

744
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:20.239
a connection to Mount Fuji and for
them, Mount Shasta is very sacred in

745
01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:23.880
Japan. They have so much respect
for Mount Shasta. But there's so many

746
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:28.840
stories. But I tell people,
if you feel the call, go because

747
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:31.840
it's one thing to read these stories, it's another thing to experience it in

748
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:37.960
your life. Even if you don't
have an extreme experience or things like I've

749
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:44.519
had, being there is different.
The energy you feel it like, it's

750
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:47.719
just different. And so I sell
people if you have a chance to go,

751
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:54.679
just go and experience the mountains.
Gorgeous for one, but you might

752
01:00:54.719 --> 01:00:59.199
have an experience you might not like. But a lot of people do.

753
01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:05.199
I think. I think a lot
of people come back for you. Yeah,

754
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:07.519
if you start looking from out shafts
the stories, you're going to find

755
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:15.039
some amazing accounts. Do you think, is there any reason why in this

756
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:22.559
one area you've got multiple big foot
encounters, You've got the Lamerians, you've

757
01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:28.719
got Man of the Mountain, maybe
little people, maybe fairies also, could

758
01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:32.360
there be any explanation about why is
it all happening in this one area.

759
01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:38.320
I think that it has to do
with the city. I think that whatever

760
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:43.119
happened in the planet where a lot
of these beans had to go hide,

761
01:01:43.159 --> 01:01:45.519
they just did. But a lot
of the beans that are very healing,

762
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:50.039
I don't get a lot of the
stories. I know, like there's a

763
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.119
lot of other stories in other parts
of the world that are really scary,

764
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.440
but the beans there are not really
like that. They don't go out and

765
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:59.960
scare people. They do, and
they don't like in the sense of like

766
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.039
it's scary to have that experience because
you're not used to it. You're not

767
01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:08.199
it's not something that is comfortable or
that you know of. It's not familiar,

768
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:14.440
But I feel like it's there's a
safe space. That's always the feeling

769
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:19.280
that I've gotten from it. But
obviously they can't really be around humans because

770
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:22.840
that wouldn't be a normal thing.
But all the experiences that I've had and

771
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:30.239
all the experiences that I know people
have had there has always been life changing

772
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:36.320
for them and healing for them,
and so I feel like the interactions have

773
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:39.519
their place. And that makes me
emotional too, because it's such a beautiful

774
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:44.400
area, but there are people that
go missing, and I think that's probably

775
01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:46.280
for me the scarier part, which
is why I stop going a lot of

776
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:52.360
places by myself for that reason,
and why I did not go and follow

777
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:54.599
the man in the mountain wherever he
wanted to take me, because I was

778
01:02:54.639 --> 01:02:59.719
like, I don't know if I'm
coming back out. So I did notice

779
01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:01.840
when I moved up, they're like
a couple of times a year there'd be

780
01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:06.400
like, this person's missing, this
person's missing. And I want to say,

781
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:08.320
most of those people, they have
never found them. They have never

782
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:13.960
found a body, They don't know
where they went at all, and there's

783
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:17.920
never an explanation why. It seems
like it's such a such a paradox or

784
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.239
you have such a beautiful area,
all these incredible stories, but then on

785
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:27.920
the other side, you do have
definitely a sense of potential danger to it

786
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:31.679
in a certain area. Do you
have any advice for people that might want

787
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:37.280
to go out and visit the Mount
Shasta area but still be in a safe

788
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:44.320
way. I would say one like, be mindful of the weather always and

789
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:49.039
be respectful of mother nature to always. If you're going to go alone,

790
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:51.599
you need to tell people like where
you're going to be at. So if

791
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:54.519
you have a tracker on your phone
or something like give someone your tracking,

792
01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:00.760
Like I think that has to be
like really important because there's people that have

793
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:04.239
gone walking in town and they can
go missing. So I would also say

794
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:08.840
if you can go with people,
like don't go alone. And if you're

795
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:12.159
going to go alone, like I
know the areas that can go like by

796
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:16.360
myself because it's packed with people,
which is normally like old Ski Bowl area,

797
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:23.000
Bunny Flats, things like that in
the summer. Like if you're it's

798
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.000
a destination spot of a lot of
tourists, so you're not going to be

799
01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:29.920
alone in a lot of areas.
But if it is an area that's pretty

800
01:04:29.920 --> 01:04:32.159
isolated, you need to tell people
where you're at, and you need to

801
01:04:32.159 --> 01:04:36.920
be prepared with your whatever it is
that you're using to go out hiking and

802
01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:44.159
if you run into those experience like
for me, like when I had that

803
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:48.679
experience with the Man of the Mountain, like I just trusted my gut and

804
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:54.360
I was like, whatever this being
wants to show me, I don't know

805
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.880
if I don't know what's going to
happen, and I don't want to put

806
01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:02.159
myself in that position. I think
people sometimes get really curious, but they

807
01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:05.719
don't use their intuition and their better
judgment. And in that moment, I

808
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.800
was like, I don't think this
is for me, so I'm going to

809
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:15.320
go. I was like, and
I think that's important. I think wherever

810
01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:18.800
you go, you need to use
your intuition to say maybe this is not

811
01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:24.960
a good idea. Most importantly,
like be careful. I agree with you.

812
01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:28.599
I think one of the most important
things we can do is if you

813
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:34.639
do if you're a type of person
where you feel like you have that intuition,

814
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:43.320
listen to it and don't shut it
down. It's trying to connect with

815
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:47.039
you for a reason. Luna,
your story is just incredible. It's beautiful.

816
01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:51.960
Thank you so much for sharing it. Is there a way that people

817
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:57.599
can get in touch with you if
they have anything to share or maybe I

818
01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.840
don't know some guests, they are
like, hey, this is good enough

819
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:03.719
if you want to share anything about
if you're writing anything, or if you

820
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:08.440
have anything like that, feel free
to share it this time. I have

821
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.840
my podcast, the Healen Adventures of
Luna. I go into some of my

822
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:15.599
stories about Mount Shasta too. In
that one I actually had a friend talk

823
01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:20.199
about their story about Mount Shasta,
and I think it's the one under Marita.

824
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:24.559
They had a pretty interesting story on
that one, so I have that.

825
01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:28.639
You can find that on like Apple
and Spotify. The Healen Adventures of

826
01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:32.199
Luna. You can find me on
TikTok and Instagram under fairy Mona and I

827
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:36.559
talk about stuff there. And then
I am in the middle of working on

828
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:42.280
Oracle Deck number two. Oracle Deck
number one is on my website Ferimon dot

829
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.559
Co. And I do have bigfoot
in that deck, and that deck is

830
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:50.719
a little bit about my experiences in
Mount Shasta and that so people like Oracle

831
01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:55.760
decks. I have it there.
I'll probably have a little bit more in

832
01:06:55.960 --> 01:07:00.320
Oracle Deck number two. I tend
to share my experiences more that way.

833
01:07:01.559 --> 01:07:06.480
Maybe one day I'll write a book. I don't know, because it's hard

834
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:11.079
to pick out what I do want
to share on that in one area.

835
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:15.639
But for now, that's pretty much
what I've got going on. And yeah,

836
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:19.000
that's how I found you too on
TikTok. Absolutely, your TikTok at

837
01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:23.880
cal is really cool. There's some
fantastic stories you share on it, and

838
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:27.320
I was like, I got to
talk to this person somehow. But Luna,

839
01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:30.920
thank you so much for coming on. It's been a really enjoyable discussion.

840
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:34.920
Yeah, thank you so much.
