I've taken far too much of your time so far, so let's get on with the show, all right, Big FoST Society. You've got the privilege of talking to gentlemen named Mark.

0:49 He's an individual that contacted me from the Black Hills of South Dakota area. How's it going today, Mark? Things are going well, thank you. It's a nice night out. I hope you're having a nice night out there in the Black Hills as well, or wherever you know you're you're calling from now. But your your story is very interesting, and after I read it in the email, It's like, this sounds extremely interesting, so I just can't wait to hear you convey it. Yeah, sure it is. It's not your usual encounter. You know, I watch your YouTube stuff and the other ones that are out there, and this is not your normal type of encounter. Well, to start with, you know, I grew up in the Black Hills and our family had a cabin that was situated right next to the National Forest and so at night time, it was you know, basically you were in the woods. It was it was pretty scary when you're a kid. And we first started going out there and when I was about five or so. And I'm a pretty deep sleeper because I used to wet my pants, so that indicates a deep sleeper. And I would get woken up all the time by knocks on the cabin, capping on the glass.

2:22 That was a big one, was capping on the glass, and a lot of the times, you know, my brothers and my sister would hear and see things too. And the cabin was just one story cabin that was rectangular with a oh a fence or a perimeter about thirty feet you know around the house or the cabin. But it was a small picket fence and you eat, a big foot could easily step over that. We would have a lot of times we would see shadows going by the windows, and big shadows like would block out four foot windows and then go to the next window, you know it. You know, it's very much like like someone was carrying a sheet applywood buy. I mean, that's how big the shadow was. And that would happen all the time. We had a fuel tank, you know, for fuel oil, and that would get tapped a lot with like a you know, a stick or a branch. We would hear that at night like a gong, you know, type of sound. And uh So, anyways, getting to the encounter, I was about uh was six or seven, and my brothers started this club called the Rofters Club, and that was a club of people that are at the extraordinary feats of you know whatever.

3:50 And sorry, I'm sorry, can you say the name of the club one more time? I just want to make sure I really get it. It's called Rofters like r U F t E R like roughter and I was a a club to you know, show how tough you were, and you do stuff like run around the house naked in the wintertime and you know, stupid things like that that would do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So well, one of the challenges was to sleep outside in the back of the cabin by yourself in a tent. And so, you know, being the young youngest of the family and always wanted to be like my brothers, I said, you know, I took on the challenge. And so one night I was out there. I went to bed about nine o'clock and I went out there. It was I was scared, and I was only six or seven years old, and I was a small kid, so I was really tiny. But anyways, I went into the tent and fell asleep pretty much, not too fast afterwards, and then pretty much halfway through the night.

4:57 I couldn't tell you exactly what time it was, but I got the feeling of being pulled. You know, I was in my seating bag, so being pulled in my bag and being picked up, and being so young, you know, I felt normal because I get you know, kids fall asleep all the time, you know, you know, everywhere and have parents have to pick them up and carry them. And so I thought what happened was my mother had come out and was thinking, this is ridiculous to have you know, young kids sleeping on here by himself, and she was coming to bring me back inside. So that's what I thought, because when I got picked up and I got held kind of like a mother would hold a child, and then I felt the blossom, so I thought it was my mother, you know, just to and so I kind of went back to sleep and thinking that I'd soon be laid down on a couch or on a bed or something. But then I realized that my mom just kept walking and and and then I realized that the steps were longer strides and that I was going away from the cabin. I wasn't going to the cabin. And that's when I kind of started to wake up a little bit. And my guess was I got carried about seventy five yards into the woodline, into the woods,

6:28 and that's I could tell us In the woods, I could hear the debris under the feets, and I could see the trees. I couldn't see the sasquatch because the sleeping bag I kind of slid down in the bag and I couldn't I couldn't see it, and I couldn't see or feel any fur or anything. But I was being held firmly. I could see the trees, the tops of trees, and I looked up. Then she had abruptly just stopped and just stood there for a second. And that's when I heard kind of a deep guttaro grunt. I don't know, it was very sharp but deep. You know, you could feel it that I had a heavy tone to it. And then she made a noise. I didn't really get the noise, you know, it was something I never heard before. And then all of a sudden she turned around. And well before that, I did hear the other one approaching, like coming closer to her, and nothing else was No other sounds were made. But then she turned around and walked back to the cabin and put me back in the tent. And I was still in that the zone of being halfway asleep and halfway awake and kind of not knowing what was going on. And I kind of just fell asleep again.

8:03 And I woke up in early morning when the you know, the birds started going and and stuff in the summertime, and I realized, I, you know, it was kind of confused because I woke up backwards in my tent. I mean I was facing I had my head to the back facing the flap. But I went to bed, and when I woke up, I was my head was almost outside the front of the flap and my feet were facing to the back, and I don't move around when I sleep, and I thought that was really strange. And so that's when I started asking my family, my mother, my brothers, and my sister. They were messing with me last night if they if any of them picked me up and moved me, or you know, we're going to put me in the woods, playing a joke or something like that, and none of us, you know, said that. They went out. They're trying to, you know, let me have my my experience by myself out there. So that's what happened.

9:07 I relayed this story to another person who is claims to be, you know, a psychic and can talk with them. And I had asked him if that really happened, or you know, was it a dream that I had, And now he said, no, that actually happened. And his explanation was that she had lost her little one and she wanted a replacement, and now that was supposed to be I guess me, and but I guess the alpha male said no, that's that's not what we do. And and I can understand that in the black killows that you know, they would be a heart they abducted the child, they would have a hard time, you know, escaping the hunting parties because the hills here they're big, but they're there raised boundaries to it. And so I don't know's that's what I was told. It's very interesting, for sure. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about it? Oh? Absolutely? You know, I probably left out a bunch of things. So if there's anything that you know is missing, surely ask how could you tell that you were going away from the cabin and not towards it when you were being being carried away in the sleeping bait? Were there things that that kind of gave you a clue that, hey, I'm going in the wrong direction. Yeah, there's two things.

10:39 The first thing is I was only about fifteen feet from the back door, so it would have taken only about five or six steps for a person to walk that way. The second thing is we had a back light on and the light got gimmer and gimmer as we went, so I realized we're going on away from the cabin. So those are the two main things that I could tell interesting how in his stride, the side of the of the walking was. It was completely different. You know, you know how mothers are more kind of shuffle when they're wearing a child. This was long steps and this continued, I mean like we reached seventy five yards, I mean deep in there. I thought that it was kind of like that based on the steps. You know pretty quickly how old were your Remind me how old your siblings were again at that time, my oldest brother was he's ten years older than me, so he was he'd have to be sixteen seventeen because otherwise he would have been off in college and wouldn't have been there. So that puts me at six or seven. Okay, so just for a few minutes, I'm going to play Devil's advocate, just for sure, nuts, right, if you would permitt me. So, if you have a brother who's

12:11 about seventeen or eighteen, what is what is evidence that you have to say that maybe it was to say it wasn't your older brother carrying you off and picking up in the sleeping bag, seeing his younger brothers outside being oh, they're messing around in their club. I'm gonna I'm gonna mess around with them and freak them out. Uh, well, because he was part of the club. You know, we had so we had just they were saying, you know, they're gearing me that night, all my siblings for garing me to to sleep outside that night. So that was you know, kind of discussed after, you know, around dinner time, and and that's when I decided, yeah, I'll do it. You know, you want to be like your brothers and you stay in the club, run around the house.

13:07 I did run around the house naked in the wintertime soon, So I wanted to keep going, right, You don't want to get kicked out of the club, definitely not. But you're saying that. So what I'm thinking is it wasn't you think it wasn't a trick being played on you by your older brother as part of like a hazing type thing for the club. You know, I don't think so, because you know, I did question ask everybody in the morning and if anyone messed with me, and they were just like, what, no, you know we were doing this and that you know, And but I you know, I really couldn't tell you, but I wouldn't understand why they would take me unless they were you know, leave me in the woods and try to really scare me that that thought had crossed my mind, but I don't. The thing was that we have first the picket fence which is three three and a half feet tall that you can't step over, like a person can't step over. It gets you right in the crotch.

14:15 And right beyond our picket fence is the barbed wire fence for the National Forest, and that is you know, chest high and barbed wire, and that it stepped right over it. There was no stopping between the time. I felt like I got picked up and it started walking, and it didn't stop at any the fences, which was very strange because the only way really did get out of the backyard is to go through the gate and then there's a gate that you go outside of our fence and then you can go into the forest. This went straight back without stopping. We'll be back with more big Foot Society after these words from our sponsors. Incredible. Wow. Yeah, No, that's that's some uh, there some good points right there, you know those fences. Definitely did you have any pets at the time, any dogs outside or anything like that? No dogs, outside. I don't recall if we even had a dog at that time. I do believe our dogs had passed away at that moment or at that you know time, and but no, I don't think there was any dogs. Well it was a you know, it's backs up. The interesting thing is right next to our

15:46 cabin is this huge field up every night tons of deer gathering. Like you know, I'm talking like fifty tod deer will come into this field right next to our cabin that night, and that would be a perfect place to ambush deer because when we were older and you know, hunting age, we would always shine a spotlight out there from our cabin and they would just be like I say, tons of deer. Oh yeah, I mean you've got the equivalent of a bigfoot you know, food court at them all if you've got fifty tond deer. And then they look over and see you in a wrapped up in a sleeping bag as a little burrito type appetizer you know, or or you know, well or whatever they thought, you know, maybe they wanted to have a you know, a young you know, human pet or something. I don't know, who knows, Yeah, who I've heard of you know, them taking the duck deeper, kidnapping people, you know, like you know the old Indian tails and what was that one guy, uh jewel somebody off or something. This is Albert Osman story. Yeah where Albert, Yeah, definitely, But mine was, you know, somewhere in that I was in a sleeping bag. But this was different where I was, like the mail said no where he was taken actually by the mail. So

17:19 it was kind of a different kind of deal. When you woke up the next morning, and I'm sure you probably went outside, was there anything that you noticed outside that would have been perhaps evidence that the events of the night before actually happened. I did not see anything. The long back there is pretty hard toil, so there was no impressions like fat or and I didn't at that time, being so young, I didn't really think about looking for evidence. I was just kind of bewildered by the fact that I was backwards in the tent and I was kind of halfway out of the not halfway up, but maybe a quarter of the way out of the tent, and that was strange to me, and the fact that I was still in the tent because when I went back to bed, I still kind of had it in my mind that my mother had come to get me and that I would be waking up inside. And then when I woke up to the tent, I was kind of surprised I was still there, and then again more surprised I was turning the other direction. Mmmmm, there's a question I'm contemplating to ask as a journalist, I think I'm going to ask it. You mentioned how

18:51 you said as you were being picked up or you were held, and you don't have to get too descriptive, but you said, is it just like you said you felt the bosom? Was it just like you could tell the shape through the sleeping bag, or well, it's that feeling, you know when you know my mother has is well endowed. Whenever she would pick me up, she would that softness of that, you know, of the chest, because my brothers would pick me up and stuff when I would be sleeping, like in the living room and stuff, and you can tell there, you know, it's their strong muscular bony and you can tell when it's your brother picking up. But when my mom does that, she holds me, you know, with her hand behind my head type of deal. And you know she always pushes me in there, and that's what I felt, that type of you know, softness when I got picked up. So that's why I thought it was my mother. Interesting you had said, you mentioned it really quick in the beginning of the story. You said your brother and sister would experience things as well. You were talking about how you know you had experienced things. What kind of things were they experiencing if you remember anything, that's the same things that all of us did. You know, we would see figures in the window shadows, the knocking on the good it wasn't knocking on the glass. It was more like a finger like a happing on the

20:23 glass sound, And that would happen all the time. And the thing was, we only went out there usually, you know, once a month, so we weren't out there a lot. So I think they kind of look forward to it. Like every time we showed up, it was kind of a you know, something for them to check out because they were always they were probably there anyways for the deer, yeah, and then we would show up. They would just you know, saunter over and check out what's going on here. And you know, we did have pebbles and stuff tossed on a roof about the size of a silver dollar, not big ones, nothing that would do any damage. But my dad would I remember my dad yelling at us, saying, who keeps throwing rocks on the roof and all of us? Get none of us? And you know you'd get mad at us.

21:15 And uh, so you know that was something I know that they're known to do in the knocking on our field tank. That's something that we would hear a lot. Uh And it's weird to hear that noise in the middle of the night because you know, there's nothing around it. There's no tree that branches that could fall on it or anything like that. And absolutely so. And it's interesting you just brought up your father because I was just about to ask a question regarding your father. So because it's interesting when you hear you hoards like this, you know, usually the father figure will react in a few different ways. You know, sometimes they won't care. Sometimes you're like, who keeps messing around? Or sometimes they'll get very on the offensive, you know, take out a weapon and say we're going after this thing.

22:21 How would you say, okay, okay, yeah, Well, let's say my father's Chinese and he's he had immigrated, so he's not like the type to be running out with a gun or anything like that. Uh, he's a he was a doctor, so he's we generally when that was his time off. So when we were at the cabin, we tried not to bother him, and because that was when he tried to relax, and so I you know, when we would do stuff, we would try to you know, not tell him what we're doing, just you know, so he didn't have to worry about us. Okay, So really you didn't bring up it sounds like you may not have brought up a lot of the things that you're experiencing or where they still brought up that you know, hey, we are seeing the shadows all sorts of weird. Still would say things, but he would just say it's the boogieman and that kind of stuff. And but you know, we would get knocks, you know, like more like slaps, not knocks, but kind of like a handslap in the society, and he would say, we would mention that, and he would just say it's the cabin settling or something like that, or the he'd always have an explanation.

23:34 He's not you know, he's a doctor, so he's pretty empirical and sun't believe that kind of stuff. But he does like to, you know, say it was the boogie Man, just to kind of scare us. How did your mom react, I'm sure you may have. You know, it sounds like if you tell him, yeah, I you know, when I asked her if I just kind of asked her, she came out and got me and she said no, and I kind of left it at that, couldn't That's That's when I went to my brothers and asked if they did it and no. I didn't really say much more about that because I wasn't.

24:15 You know, I'm still a little kid at the time, and I'm not sure how to process exactly what happened. I'm still kind of you know, I was, I was hazy when it happened, and so I can't, you know, say, I mean, I wish I wasn't in the day so I could tell you for certain that yes, I was held by huge hands, and yes they I was impressed against her and I got to look close look at the face and all that I wish I could that did happen, But I didn't see anything, but you know that I was carried away and that I was carried away easily, and that was you know, but no one struggled, no one, you know, like they said, for anything like that when we I was just picked up. So but you know, we've you know, after that, we did, you know, continue to see the you know, the shadows and well continue to get the packing on the glass. But nothing, no encounters happened again at the cabin in terms of you know, actually physically seeing one in the yard and we would see like I say, figures or shadows moved by the windows. It was just a one story cabin so that you could just walk around the whole place and look inside any window you wanted. And so it came to the place time where you know, I every time we went to the cabin, I would not sleep in the bedrooms. I would only sleep in the living

25:49 room, which was the most interior room in the house that was away from all the windows. That's the only place I would sleep after that, and that was after to sleep bag. That was after sleep sleeping bag experience exactly. Okay, yeah, wow. And I would never go out outside after it got dark or like if you we needed to get something from the car or whatever. I mean, we would grow shamba for it, because I would not volunteer to go outside at night anymore after that. That's that's very interesting. How far away from the cabin was your closest neighbor would you think?

26:32 Oh, I would say about four four or five hundred yards towards the back, towards the road, so they were closer to the main road where we were closer to the forest. Very okay, very interesting. I'm guessing the cabin is probably no longer in the family, right, No, my father sold it when he retired and all the kids went to college. Have you ever heard of any other or any sightings or experiences with the Bigfoot in that area? Have you ever heard anything from other people or anything like that.

27:22 I don't think so, because, like we only it was a you know, vacation cabin for us, So we only went out to like, like I say, once a month, and so we didn't really you know, we weren't there to talk with the neighbors or that kind of thing. Oh. We just kind of kept for ourselves. And I am I do remember around that time there were some sightings in the Black Hills, but I can't I can't tell you exactly where they were gotcha interesting, So it might be on the BFRO, it might be used there. I don't know. There's a few in because I believe this would be Pennington County. There's a few of them twenty because I think you said National Forest, South Dakota, so it be Black Hills National Forest? Is that right? That's yes, I'd be Pennington County. So there's a reported twenty nineteen, two thousand and eight, in two thousand and six, and those are that's just the public sightings, right. There's probably more on the back end that we can't see.

28:27 But when you said, you just just curious and this may help listeners that also are familiar with that area. Was was this cabin near a specific part of Black Hills National Forest? Is there like an area or a location that it was nearby inside the forest? Yeah? I don't want to get two specific Okay, yes, it happened, Well, it happened so long ago, it doesn't really matter. I I don't want to also force you into anything, but you know, no, no, no, it would be people who know the Black Hills or in the area. It's it's between Sheridan Lake and Pactola Lake and the forest and between the two lakes, to the west of the highway. Gotcha, that's cool. That's cool. Sheridan Lake, Yep, gotcha, I'm looking at Yeah, Pactola Lake would be just to the northwest of Sheridan Lake, and Chatting was between the two lakes, but to the west drive in a you know, about a half a mile off the highway. Cool there. Yeah, listeners, if you have seen or encountered anything in this area, feel free to reach out or you

30:00 know, put it in the comments. But man, Mark, that is a really interesting story. It's the first one I've had where someone was actually carried off in a sleeping bag. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. And it's actually, you know, that's very rare. As you said, you know, you've got the story of Albert Osman from a very long time ago. But just curious, throw a few things out to you see if anything sticks. I've talked to a gentleman from South Dakota, I believe South Dakota. His name is Burton Moran, and he has this story of seeing giant owls or hearing stories of giant owls in that area. Is that anything that's ever come across your plate. Well, you know, it's funny you mentioned that because my neighbor had said he had a like a thirty five pound turkey carried off by now and it couldn't quite get all the way up, you know, in the flight, and it got caught in the barbed wire on his on his on the fence and the al ate as much as it could and then left the carcass in the barbed wire. Now, I mean you you should know as well as I did,

31:33 that thirty five pounds for now is outrageous. You know, that would be impossible even for the largest even for a congo, thirty five pounds is it would be crazy. But that's you know, it actually happened just you know, right across the street from me. Oh wow, yeah, that would have had to been a pretty big creature too. Yeah, it'd have to be huge. And because I know that, you know, turkeys get really big, and especially that tom and it was his tom, and I think it was like seven or eight years old, and he said it was thirty to thirty five pounds. And I have turkeys too, and you know my turkeys get up you know, well over twenty five pounds and so, yeah, that's that's something that you know that's very recent. I mean that's within the last few years here, well that I've lived here, so I've only been at my spot here for about five years, and my neighbor told me about that. Sure, sure could definitely be something going on. Keep an ear out if you ever hear anything weird from that neighbor. Again, you know who to talk to. But yeah, another you know, saying, I always have my ear open for and so I'll bring it up just in case. In your area, have you ever heard anything or any sightings

33:08 regarding like a dog man or any creature like canine creature on two legs or anything that looks like a hyena at all. No, nothing of that sort. No, there's I mean the Black Hills. I mean we have only no white tailed deer. We have mountain lions. I mean, we have enough mountain lines that we actually have a hunting season on them, so there's quite a few of them. We have maybe one or two bears that have recently migrated into the Hills. One came from Minnesota and one came from Wyoming.

33:49 But yeah, I've never heard of anything of that sort. Happen here. I mean, we have coyotes, of course, but yeah, nothing of a dog man. Very very interesting. Mark this is This has been a cool conversation. It's it's a story I wasn't expecting to come across in the email, but I'm glad that you sent it my way. Last question before I let you go, and I know you know you you weren't able to really see the creature at all, but you know, it's just something I ask when when you look at Bigfoot or you're thinking of, you know, what happened, do you picture this creature as being or let's say, how do how do you describe the creature in your mind? Maybe more ape like or human or or how do you Uh, that's a resolution for well, yeah, the fact I didn't have uh a side, you know, actually see the creature. But since then, you know, I've delved in to the subject. I've checked out everything and read pretty much everything that's out there, and I do believe it's a you know, a living creature, you know, flesh and blood like we are. Because of the fact that I was picked up. I don't think there's anything really supernatural about them.

35:22 In terms of I've heard of you know, being able to disappear and and that kind of thing. I do believe that they have, that they are a genetic mix of human and another you know, animal. I think it's you know, a majority of human, but something else that makes them you know, large and airy and be able to you know, endure the elements and that kind of thing. I've heard. You know, I kind of a someone who would think more to the point of genetic you know, manipulation by you know, intelligent life other than ourselves. And you know, at times I think that we were genetically engineered because of the fact that how we've shown up and just progressed so fast that you know, it seems to be kind of an experiment. Uh. I do know that there are well, you know, the kind of the shift topics that there are aliens. I've seen them, I've interacted with them, So anything's possible out there right now, and you can't really understand. But I you know, I've read something about them being bred or a cross between humans and a what was it the giant type thing. Yeah, but it wasn't you know, gigantic pictures.

37:00 It was actually you know, like a giant wombback type thing. Wow, is what it was? Well leamer, a giant leamer. I read that they were they bred humans with and that's how they got sasquatch. Interesting. Yeah, that's it is an interesting thing because if you look at the if you look up a giant leamer, they were huge. I mean they were over ten feet tall and they were big. And that would you know, account for the size of these things. Uh. I couldn't tell you how tall this thing was, but based on the shadows and and that kind of didn't moving around the house, they would have to be well over you know, seven feet tall, because they were they would cover the top of the windows when they walked by. Sure was this in this? Remind me?

37:51 Is this in the seventies eighties? What time frame would this have been? This would be in the seventies, Yeah, because it would be like midst Okay cool. Yeah, A lot of crazy stuff happened bigfoot related around around that timeframe all over the place, so I would not be surprised at all. Yeah. I don't know if you are up for going down that road, but you did allude to that you have seen aliens and stuff like that. Anything that you're whatever, I wasn't going to really say too much about. But it does because it does involve Bigfoot. Okay, delve into it a little bit here. I had moved back. I was living I had lived in Jamaica for like ten years, running a coffee for him, and I'd come back to the States and I wanted to come back somewhere a ways I knew. So I came back to Rapid City and moved into this house that's kind of in the woods. And I was doing very poorly. I was drinking a lot. I was not in good health. I was mentally drained. And I had a friend who claimed, you know, was a psychic, and he says he can talk with Bigfoot, and he said he'd asked them to come he heal me. And that was just like I said,

39:22 well, thank you for that. But anyways, one night I was it was in the beginning of this, well the end of me. It was. It was still nice. I couldn't sleep, I was not feeling good. I just was a bad spot. So I was decided to sleep out on the deck to see if that would be nice. And then all of a sudden I looked. I looked up and there's a bigfoot looking right down at me, and this is on my deck. And the thing was very gray and white, like grizzled, like a very old, you know, mountain man would look like you could tell the he had his beard was white. He just looked on at me, and all I said is when boy, you're a big, beautiful guy. And I noticed that there was three more, two more on the deck and one standing off on the on the ground looking up and my deck is you know, you know, I guess seven eight feet tall, and his head was above that. He was looking through the you know, the spindle things there, and I was like, wow. And all I said is, please don't eat my chickens.

40:45 That's what I could think of, because I just I didn't know what to do. And when I turned back, it came back inside and two, see what my dogs are doing? Because my dogs didn't bark at all, they didn't react or anything, which I thought was strange. And then I went back outside and they were gone. And then a little bit later that night. That night and then the following nights, I kept seeing things out of the corner of my eye, movements in my house, little noises, things like paper rustling, you know, that kind of stuff, and then one day I got into my car to go to the store, and I started driving, and I hear all this wrestling in my back seat, and they go, holy cow, what is that? So I turned around and the park and Ride when I got out, went inside, but I came right back out, and at that moment I saw it. I saw the the little guy running from bush to bush trying to hide. And it was interesting because, I mean, he was dark about oh i'd say, twenty four inches two feet high, but he was wearing a wig, you know, like a girl's wig and a girl's dress, and you know, some sort of I guess camouflage or disguise to try to help them move around.

42:15 But I just couldn't believe in my eyes. And then after that, I mean I just kept seeing and hearing them everywhere in the house and it was crazy. So anyways, as the story goes, they were here to heal me, and so the Bigfoot, the sasquatch, apparently has healing powers and he was going to heal I had a lot of injuries, surgery, bad joints, all kinds of things, and they had me lay down. But the funny thing was a couple of days later, people showed up at my house and said that they're doing a sasquatch healing video. But in my mind there was a something was planted, like my neighbor they you know, how it came out in my mind was my neighbor had asked me if some people can park in my driveway parked the RV in my driveway, and I said sure. So I thought these were the people. And but the funny thing is they showed up and they had no vehicle. There was no vehicle in the driveway. There was and they would leave the house and just disappear like there was no camp around my You know, I have six acres of land and there was no camp, there's no nothing. They'd just show up, which was I thought was really weird. But anyways, I when the healing

43:47 came, I'd lay down and these little guys they had a little timer. I think it was like a half hour an hour long, and they'd start out my toes and they started working up and it was really weird. They're like aligning my spine, lining all my bones. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. Making sure my muscles fired, you know, at the same time and equally, like both legs would have equal you know, power coming out when you flexed, and all these things all the way up to my head. And before I know it, it's twelve hours had passed and I was getting tired, and I just asked them to put me to bed, and they did, and I woke up in the morning just as fresh as you could be. I mean, a lot of my joint pains were gone, my mind was clear, and it was it was a really interesting experience. And they have a you know, a sasquatching our house is kind of a something that most people don't have happened.

45:01 Yeah, you know, I would definitely say so that's not that's not a normal occurrence, but very very interesting when you woke up the next day, besides the fact that you were feeling great, was there anything evidence wise that would have proved to you that they had actually been there? Yeah, Well, when the sasquatch came in, my house is in a frame, so there's some areas that are very like the ceiling is low, or the like the hall of the stairs height, and my drywall was broken and it looks like his knee or something hit drywall. And broke my gryewall, and so I don't want to fix it. I kind of want to frame it.

45:50 But I was downstairs when when it came in my upstairs and I heard it walk through my house and it, I mean, it was the heaviest steps I've ever heard. I mean, there's no way a person could make that, not even ben if three people were stomping at the same time. But they make the sound I heard when they came inside. So it was it was very interesting. And he was only here for one one night. I mean, the what like you it's counting the first encounter when I saw him on the deck and then the following day. But the little guys, they stuck around for several days, and they would do like adjustments to whatever they did to me, Like whenever i'd sit in the chair, they'd asked me to put my hands down to the side and they would come up. The rule was that the people that came with them was you cannot hear them talk and you cannot look at them, look to see if their you know, see them. Those are the two rules. And so now I I allow the rules because I was very grateful for what they were doing. But so when I put my hands to the side, they would start touching, and it was kind of like that et moment. As soon as they would touch you, you would feel a definite energy and it was a you know, I described it as a pure white energy, like you know, love and

47:22 who will. It was just it felt very good when I think they touched and Dad asked them to touch my finger a lot, and they would do that. And then one of them became kind of a friend for kind of like me, and he would like jingle a bell, kind of like a little bell that you would have on a dog collar, one of those little ones, and then I would jingle my keys and then he would jingle back, and we kind of play the game. But you know, other than the time that I saw him outside the car, I never did see them fully inside my house. They would always be super quick. I don't know how how they did it, but they're fast. But the thing was, I would I was downstairs, that's where I was living at the time, and the staircase was right behind me and the stairs had one of those creaks in it. So one of the stairs, every time you step on it would creak, and whenever I would feel something behind me. I would turn real quick and then I drive that creak as it was running up the stairs, and I was, you know, that's when I knew for sure that you know, I wasn't you know, making you know, things were real because of the fact that nothing was there. There has to be weight on that step to make it creak. Sure, And what time, like what years would have this happened in? This was about five six years ago, so not that long ago, Yeah, it was. It was fairly recent,

48:54 and uh, you know, I still have uh you know, you know, very did the memories of everything that happened. I mean down to the you know, the minute on some of the things. And it was very interesting how they can put, you know, thoughts into your mind and memories into your mind and then you think they're real. Because I asked my neighbor, did you ever talk to me about friends? And he said no, And that was, you know, kind of odd because he said that in my mind it was planted a memory that someone from his friends from Alabama were coming. And then I asked these people and they said, yeah, we're from Alabama, so you know, everything was kind of weird, like they searched my mind and they came up with the story of the plant in there to explain why these people would suddenly appear at my house. That's very very interesting. Would you think of you know, if you had to choose one or the other, would you think of them more as uh sasquatch or as aliens? Which what do you mean by that sotch? You would say, are aliens or the ones that you encountered there? Would you say they're definitely a Sasquatch or the sasquatch for sasquatch and the aliens were I mean they

50:24 could talk to me, you know, you know, psychically or whatever philepathy. And I asked some questions and they would they would answer, and I would ask, are you guys extra tresholds? Is that why you're so small? And they would ask they would answer, yes, that kind of thing, or they would tap on my hand or or something. They would respond. And so they were, you know, here to help me. And I don't know if it's because my friend asked for it or or whatever, but maybe they have a plan for me later on. I don't know, uh, but it was something that I didn't expect. I no longer have to go in the woods and search for them because one was on I looked at one right face to face on my deck, like, you know, the facial features are pretty much what you see on you know, online, and that we're just kind of you mixed up all the different you know, variations people come up with, and just came with up with one that's pretty much what it looked like, you know, very large, very covered, and hair face does not have hair on it. It's I didn't really see the head, I mean the top of the head, I mean, because

51:54 it was dark. It was my light was inside, was on inside, but I was on the decade. There was no lights on. Uh. Because the other ones were just figures. I couldn't see. I couldn't make out anything on the other ones. They were dark, you know, dark dark colors, so they're either dark brown or black, and I couldn't see anything other than their shape. But the one that was just standing, you know, right in front of me, you know, he didn't make any noise, he didn't make any gestures or any movements. You know, I put them. We don't know how cool he is, and he's don't eat my chickens. I went to check out my dogs and like I said, I came back and they were gone. That's very interesting. And you said this also happened in South Dakota. Yeah, okay, yeah, this is in Vada Kota. This is you know, right outside of town, right outside of Rapid City, right right, that's right. You said that, is there a history of like high strangeness type events like is happening in that area? I'm really you know, growing up here, I don't recall too many. We do have an Air Force base out here, okay, and we do have a lot of nuclear weapons out here, a lot of you know, missile silos out in the prairie, and uh we have the one of the largest fleets of the B one bombers now to be or to be

53:27 two new ones that are coming out, So I mean there could be reason for them to be around here. Yeah. Now, when you hear of areas that have government bases and nukes and things like that, you can have I mean, that's where you get some really interesting stories. And I'm sure that you know, there's probably listeners that could be like, oh yeah, in that area of Rapid City, Mike Gonness, there's been weird stuff happening near that base. You know, guys, feel free to secure those in the comments, or you can send it to my email if you need to be safe when you share whatever you got.
