Things are going well, thank you.

13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.719
It's a nice night out. I
hope you're having a nice night out

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.319
there in the Black Hills as well, or wherever you know you're you're calling

15
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:14.760
from now. But your your story
is very interesting, and after I read

16
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.000
it in the email, It's like, this sounds extremely interesting, so I

17
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:26.079
just can't wait to hear you convey
it. Yeah, sure it is.

18
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:34.480
It's not your usual encounter. You
know, I watch your YouTube stuff and

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.680
the other ones that are out there, and this is not your normal type

20
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:46.799
of encounter. Well, to start
with, you know, I grew up

21
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.719
in the Black Hills and our family
had a cabin that was situated right next

22
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.439
to the National Forest and so at
night time, it was you know,

23
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.719
basically you were in the woods.
It was it was pretty scary when you're

24
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.519
a kid. And we first started
going out there and when I was about

25
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.520
five or so. And I'm a
pretty deep sleeper because I used to wet

26
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.840
my pants, so that indicates a
deep sleeper. And I would get woken

27
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:22.280
up all the time by knocks on
the cabin, capping on the glass.

28
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.400
That was a big one, was
capping on the glass, and a lot

29
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.919
of the times, you know,
my brothers and my sister would hear and

30
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:36.840
see things too. And the cabin
was just one story cabin that was rectangular

31
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.000
with a oh a fence or a
perimeter about thirty feet you know around the

32
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.159
house or the cabin. But it
was a small picket fence and you eat,

33
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.759
a big foot could easily step over
that. We would have a lot

34
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.080
of times we would see shadows going
by the windows, and big shadows like

35
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.000
would block out four foot windows and
then go to the next window, you

36
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.960
know it. You know, it's
very much like like someone was carrying a

37
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.319
sheet applywood buy. I mean,
that's how big the shadow was. And

38
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.199
that would happen all the time.
We had a fuel tank, you know,

39
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.800
for fuel oil, and that would
get tapped a lot with like a

40
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.240
you know, a stick or a
branch. We would hear that at night

41
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.080
like a gong, you know,
type of sound. And uh So,

42
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:36.439
anyways, getting to the encounter,
I was about uh was six or seven,

43
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:43.360
and my brothers started this club called
the Rofters Club, and that was

44
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:50.120
a club of people that are at
the extraordinary feats of you know whatever.

45
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.960
And sorry, I'm sorry, can
you say the name of the club one

46
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.960
more time? I just want to
make sure I really get it. It's

47
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:01.520
called Rofters like r U F t
E R like roughter and I was a

48
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.759
a club to you know, show
how tough you were, and you do

49
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.639
stuff like run around the house naked
in the wintertime and you know, stupid

50
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.439
things like that that would do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So

51
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.439
well, one of the challenges was
to sleep outside in the back of the

52
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.560
cabin by yourself in a tent.
And so, you know, being the

53
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.639
young youngest of the family and always
wanted to be like my brothers, I

54
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.519
said, you know, I took
on the challenge. And so one night

55
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.879
I was out there. I went
to bed about nine o'clock and I went

56
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.319
out there. It was I was
scared, and I was only six or

57
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.079
seven years old, and I was
a small kid, so I was really

58
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:50.319
tiny. But anyways, I went
into the tent and fell asleep pretty much,

59
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.759
not too fast afterwards, and then
pretty much halfway through the night.

60
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.199
I couldn't tell you exactly what time
it was, but I got the feeling

61
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.439
of being pulled. You know,
I was in my seating bag, so

62
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:12.240
being pulled in my bag and being
picked up, and being so young,

63
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.720
you know, I felt normal because
I get you know, kids fall asleep

64
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.759
all the time, you know,
you know, everywhere and have parents have

65
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.000
to pick them up and carry them. And so I thought what happened was

66
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.879
my mother had come out and was
thinking, this is ridiculous to have you

67
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.279
know, young kids sleeping on here
by himself, and she was coming to

68
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:36.600
bring me back inside. So that's
what I thought, because when I got

69
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.680
picked up and I got held kind
of like a mother would hold a child,

70
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:45.199
and then I felt the blossom,
so I thought it was my mother,

71
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.680
you know, just to and so
I kind of went back to sleep

72
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.279
and thinking that I'd soon be laid
down on a couch or on a bed

73
00:05:53.399 --> 00:06:00.600
or something. But then I realized
that my mom just kept walking and and

74
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:09.279
and then I realized that the steps
were longer strides and that I was going

75
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.839
away from the cabin. I wasn't
going to the cabin. And that's when

76
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:20.000
I kind of started to wake up
a little bit. And my guess was

77
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:28.040
I got carried about seventy five yards
into the woodline, into the woods,

78
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.839
and that's I could tell us In
the woods, I could hear the debris

79
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:40.639
under the feets, and I could
see the trees. I couldn't see the

80
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.920
sasquatch because the sleeping bag I kind
of slid down in the bag and I

81
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.439
couldn't I couldn't see it, and
I couldn't see or feel any fur or

82
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:54.279
anything. But I was being held
firmly. I could see the trees,

83
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.120
the tops of trees, and I
looked up. Then she had abruptly just

84
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.839
stopped and just stood there for a
second. And that's when I heard kind

85
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:14.800
of a deep guttaro grunt. I
don't know, it was very sharp but

86
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.240
deep. You know, you could
feel it that I had a heavy tone

87
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:26.319
to it. And then she made
a noise. I didn't really get the

88
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.160
noise, you know, it was
something I never heard before. And then

89
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.439
all of a sudden she turned around. And well before that, I did

90
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:40.839
hear the other one approaching, like
coming closer to her, and nothing else

91
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.800
was No other sounds were made.
But then she turned around and walked back

92
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.040
to the cabin and put me back
in the tent. And I was still

93
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:58.399
in that the zone of being halfway
asleep and halfway awake and kind of not

94
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.240
knowing what was going on. And
I kind of just fell asleep again.

95
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.720
And I woke up in early morning
when the you know, the birds started

96
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.279
going and and stuff in the summertime, and I realized, I, you

97
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.319
know, it was kind of confused
because I woke up backwards in my tent.

98
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.399
I mean I was facing I had
my head to the back facing the

99
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.480
flap. But I went to bed, and when I woke up, I

100
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.600
was my head was almost outside the
front of the flap and my feet were

101
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.799
facing to the back, and I
don't move around when I sleep, and

102
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.720
I thought that was really strange.
And so that's when I started asking my

103
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.279
family, my mother, my brothers, and my sister. They were messing

104
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.679
with me last night if they if
any of them picked me up and moved

105
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.480
me, or you know, we're
going to put me in the woods,

106
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.240
playing a joke or something like that, and none of us, you know,

107
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.000
said that. They went out.
They're trying to, you know,

108
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.720
let me have my my experience by
myself out there. So that's what happened.

109
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.080
I relayed this story to another person
who is claims to be, you

110
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.519
know, a psychic and can talk
with them. And I had asked him

111
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.600
if that really happened, or you
know, was it a dream that I

112
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.399
had, And now he said,
no, that actually happened. And his

113
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:33.240
explanation was that she had lost her
little one and she wanted a replacement,

114
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:39.159
and now that was supposed to be
I guess me, and but I guess

115
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.759
the alpha male said no, that's
that's not what we do. And and

116
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.600
I can understand that in the black
killows that you know, they would be

117
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.240
a heart they abducted the child,
they would have a hard time, you

118
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.480
know, escaping the hunting parties because
the hills here they're big, but they're

119
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.080
there raised boundaries to it. And
so I don't know's that's what I was

120
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.799
told. It's very interesting, for
sure. Do you mind if I ask

121
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.440
you a few questions about it?
Oh? Absolutely? You know, I

122
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.919
probably left out a bunch of things. So if there's anything that you know

123
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:26.120
is missing, surely ask how could
you tell that you were going away from

124
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.679
the cabin and not towards it when
you were being being carried away in the

125
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.600
sleeping bait? Were there things that
that kind of gave you a clue that,

126
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.360
hey, I'm going in the wrong
direction. Yeah, there's two things.

127
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:45.159
The first thing is I was only
about fifteen feet from the back door,

128
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.320
so it would have taken only about
five or six steps for a person

129
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.399
to walk that way. The second
thing is we had a back light on

130
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.679
and the light got gimmer and gimmer
as we went, so I realized we're

131
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.080
going on away from the cabin.
So those are the two main things that

132
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:13.039
I could tell interesting how in his
stride, the side of the of the

133
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.039
walking was. It was completely different. You know, you know how mothers

134
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.919
are more kind of shuffle when they're
wearing a child. This was long steps

135
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.519
and this continued, I mean like
we reached seventy five yards, I mean

136
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.440
deep in there. I thought that
it was kind of like that based on

137
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.799
the steps. You know pretty quickly
how old were your Remind me how old

138
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.080
your siblings were again at that time, my oldest brother was he's ten years

139
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:50.120
older than me, so he was
he'd have to be sixteen seventeen because otherwise

140
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.639
he would have been off in college
and wouldn't have been there. So that

141
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.639
puts me at six or seven.
Okay, so just for a few minutes,

142
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.440
I'm going to play Devil's advocate,
just for sure, nuts, right,

143
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:11.720
if you would permitt me. So, if you have a brother who's

144
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:20.240
about seventeen or eighteen, what is
what is evidence that you have to say

145
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.600
that maybe it was to say it
wasn't your older brother carrying you off and

146
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.399
picking up in the sleeping bag,
seeing his younger brothers outside being oh,

147
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.559
they're messing around in their club.
I'm gonna I'm gonna mess around with them

148
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.879
and freak them out. Uh,
well, because he was part of the

149
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:46.000
club. You know, we had
so we had just they were saying,

150
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.799
you know, they're gearing me that
night, all my siblings for garing me

151
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.159
to to sleep outside that night.
So that was you know, kind of

152
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.840
discussed after, you know, around
dinner time, and and that's when I

153
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.600
decided, yeah, I'll do it. You know, you want to be

154
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.480
like your brothers and you stay in
the club, run around the house.

155
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.240
I did run around the house naked
in the wintertime soon, So I wanted

156
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.279
to keep going, right, You
don't want to get kicked out of the

157
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:20.120
club, definitely not. But you're
saying that. So what I'm thinking is

158
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.480
it wasn't you think it wasn't a
trick being played on you by your older

159
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.240
brother as part of like a hazing
type thing for the club. You know,

160
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.600
I don't think so, because you
know, I did question ask everybody

161
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.360
in the morning and if anyone messed
with me, and they were just like,

162
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.720
what, no, you know we
were doing this and that you know,

163
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.320
And but I you know, I
really couldn't tell you, but I

164
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.600
wouldn't understand why they would take me
unless they were you know, leave me

165
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.360
in the woods and try to really
scare me that that thought had crossed my

166
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:05.679
mind, but I don't. The
thing was that we have first the picket

167
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.879
fence which is three three and a
half feet tall that you can't step over,

168
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.519
like a person can't step over.
It gets you right in the crotch.

169
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.960
And right beyond our picket fence is
the barbed wire fence for the National

170
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.080
Forest, and that is you know, chest high and barbed wire, and

171
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:33.039
that it stepped right over it.
There was no stopping between the time.

172
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:39.159
I felt like I got picked up
and it started walking, and it didn't

173
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.799
stop at any the fences, which
was very strange because the only way really

174
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.919
did get out of the backyard is
to go through the gate and then there's

175
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.960
a gate that you go outside of
our fence and then you can go into

176
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:01.200
the forest. This went straight back
without stopping. We'll be back with more

177
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:09.519
big Foot Society after these words from
our sponsors. Incredible. Wow. Yeah,

178
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.960
No, that's that's some uh,
there some good points right there,

179
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.159
you know those fences. Definitely did
you have any pets at the time,

180
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.960
any dogs outside or anything like that? No dogs, outside. I don't

181
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.519
recall if we even had a dog
at that time. I do believe our

182
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.000
dogs had passed away at that moment
or at that you know time, and

183
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.559
but no, I don't think there
was any dogs. Well it was a

184
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.600
you know, it's backs up.
The interesting thing is right next to our

185
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:54.960
cabin is this huge field up every
night tons of deer gathering. Like you

186
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.000
know, I'm talking like fifty tod
deer will come into this field right next

187
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:07.200
to our cabin that night, and
that would be a perfect place to ambush

188
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.639
deer because when we were older and
you know, hunting age, we would

189
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.840
always shine a spotlight out there from
our cabin and they would just be like

190
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.000
I say, tons of deer.
Oh yeah, I mean you've got the

191
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.679
equivalent of a bigfoot you know,
food court at them all if you've got

192
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.360
fifty tond deer. And then they
look over and see you in a wrapped

193
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:32.279
up in a sleeping bag as a
little burrito type appetizer you know, or

194
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:37.399
or you know, well or whatever
they thought, you know, maybe they

195
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.840
wanted to have a you know,
a young you know, human pet or

196
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:47.639
something. I don't know, who
knows, Yeah, who I've heard of

197
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.240
you know, them taking the duck
deeper, kidnapping people, you know,

198
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.200
like you know the old Indian tails
and what was that one guy, uh

199
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.799
jewel somebody off or something. This
is Albert Osman story. Yeah where Albert,

200
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.440
Yeah, definitely, But mine was, you know, somewhere in that

201
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:14.880
I was in a sleeping bag.
But this was different where I was,

202
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.960
like the mail said no where he
was taken actually by the mail. So

203
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.599
it was kind of a different kind
of deal. When you woke up the

204
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.519
next morning, and I'm sure you
probably went outside, was there anything that

205
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:36.839
you noticed outside that would have been
perhaps evidence that the events of the night

206
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:45.400
before actually happened. I did not
see anything. The long back there is

207
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:52.119
pretty hard toil, so there was
no impressions like fat or and I didn't

208
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.400
at that time, being so young, I didn't really think about looking for

209
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.559
evidence. I was just kind of
bewildered by the fact that I was backwards

210
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.880
in the tent and I was kind
of halfway out of the not halfway up,

211
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.240
but maybe a quarter of the way
out of the tent, and that

212
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.680
was strange to me, and the
fact that I was still in the tent

213
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.519
because when I went back to bed, I still kind of had it in

214
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.319
my mind that my mother had come
to get me and that I would be

215
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.000
waking up inside. And then when
I woke up to the tent, I

216
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.720
was kind of surprised I was still
there, and then again more surprised I

217
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:42.759
was turning the other direction. Mmmmm, there's a question I'm contemplating to ask

218
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:51.200
as a journalist, I think I'm
going to ask it. You mentioned how

219
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.960
you said as you were being picked
up or you were held, and you

220
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.880
don't have to get too descriptive,
but you said, is it just like

221
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:04.839
you said you felt the bosom?
Was it just like you could tell the

222
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.759
shape through the sleeping bag, or
well, it's that feeling, you know

223
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.039
when you know my mother has is
well endowed. Whenever she would pick me

224
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.400
up, she would that softness of
that, you know, of the chest,

225
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.599
because my brothers would pick me up
and stuff when I would be sleeping,

226
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.519
like in the living room and stuff, and you can tell there,

227
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:32.960
you know, it's their strong muscular
bony and you can tell when it's your

228
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.640
brother picking up. But when my
mom does that, she holds me,

229
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.359
you know, with her hand behind
my head type of deal. And you

230
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.559
know she always pushes me in there, and that's what I felt, that

231
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.880
type of you know, softness when
I got picked up. So that's why

232
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.839
I thought it was my mother.
Interesting you had said, you mentioned it

233
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.759
really quick in the beginning of the
story. You said your brother and sister

234
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.880
would experience things as well. You
were talking about how you know you had

235
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.079
experienced things. What kind of things
were they experiencing if you remember anything,

236
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.839
that's the same things that all of
us did. You know, we would

237
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:21.240
see figures in the window shadows,
the knocking on the good it wasn't knocking

238
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.279
on the glass. It was more
like a finger like a happing on the

239
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:30.319
glass sound, And that would happen
all the time. And the thing was,

240
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.440
we only went out there usually,
you know, once a month,

241
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.640
so we weren't out there a lot. So I think they kind of look

242
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.200
forward to it. Like every time
we showed up, it was kind of

243
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:44.359
a you know, something for them
to check out because they were always they

244
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.359
were probably there anyways for the deer, yeah, and then we would show

245
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.680
up. They would just you know, saunter over and check out what's going

246
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:59.039
on here. And you know,
we did have pebbles and stuff tossed on

247
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.599
a roof about the size of a
silver dollar, not big ones, nothing

248
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.880
that would do any damage. But
my dad would I remember my dad yelling

249
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.599
at us, saying, who keeps
throwing rocks on the roof and all of

250
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.839
us? Get none of us?
And you know you'd get mad at us.

251
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:22.799
And uh, so you know that
was something I know that they're known

252
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.160
to do in the knocking on our
field tank. That's something that we would

253
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:34.079
hear a lot. Uh And it's
weird to hear that noise in the middle

254
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:40.200
of the night because you know,
there's nothing around it. There's no tree

255
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:45.599
that branches that could fall on it
or anything like that. And absolutely so.

256
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.559
And it's interesting you just brought up
your father because I was just about

257
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:59.799
to ask a question regarding your father. So because it's interesting when you hear

258
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:04.039
you hoards like this, you know, usually the father figure will react in

259
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:10.279
a few different ways. You know, sometimes they won't care. Sometimes you're

260
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.599
like, who keeps messing around?
Or sometimes they'll get very on the offensive,

261
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.440
you know, take out a weapon
and say we're going after this thing.

262
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:25.480
How would you say, okay,
okay, yeah, Well, let's

263
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.920
say my father's Chinese and he's he
had immigrated, so he's not like the

264
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.839
type to be running out with a
gun or anything like that. Uh,

265
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.079
he's a he was a doctor,
so he's we generally when that was his

266
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.039
time off. So when we were
at the cabin, we tried not to

267
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:47.160
bother him, and because that was
when he tried to relax, and so

268
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.680
I you know, when we would
do stuff, we would try to you

269
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.160
know, not tell him what we're
doing, just you know, so he

270
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:59.599
didn't have to worry about us.
Okay, So really you didn't bring up

271
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.079
it sounds like you may not have
brought up a lot of the things that

272
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.440
you're experiencing or where they still brought
up that you know, hey, we

273
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.039
are seeing the shadows all sorts of
weird. Still would say things, but

274
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:17.640
he would just say it's the boogieman
and that kind of stuff. And but

275
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.559
you know, we would get knocks, you know, like more like slaps,

276
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.160
not knocks, but kind of like
a handslap in the society, and

277
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.240
he would say, we would mention
that, and he would just say it's

278
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.680
the cabin settling or something like that, or the he'd always have an explanation.

279
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.480
He's not you know, he's a
doctor, so he's pretty empirical and

280
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.079
sun't believe that kind of stuff.
But he does like to, you know,

281
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.079
say it was the boogie Man,
just to kind of scare us.

282
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400
How did your mom react, I'm
sure you may have. You know,

283
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:59.200
it sounds like if you tell him, yeah, I you know, when

284
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:00.759
I asked her if I just kind
of asked her, she came out and

285
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.519
got me and she said no,
and I kind of left it at that,

286
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.440
couldn't That's That's when I went to
my brothers and asked if they did

287
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:15.200
it and no. I didn't really
say much more about that because I wasn't.

288
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.319
You know, I'm still a little
kid at the time, and I'm

289
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.559
not sure how to process exactly what
happened. I'm still kind of you know,

290
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.960
I was, I was hazy when
it happened, and so I can't,

291
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.599
you know, say, I mean, I wish I wasn't in the

292
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.480
day so I could tell you for
certain that yes, I was held by

293
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:40.480
huge hands, and yes they I
was impressed against her and I got to

294
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.279
look close look at the face and
all that I wish I could that did

295
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.440
happen, But I didn't see anything, but you know that I was carried

296
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.359
away and that I was carried away
easily, and that was you know,

297
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.319
but no one struggled, no one, you know, like they said,

298
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:04.559
for anything like that when we I
was just picked up. So but you

299
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.799
know, we've you know, after
that, we did, you know,

300
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.359
continue to see the you know,
the shadows and well continue to get the

301
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:18.079
packing on the glass. But nothing, no encounters happened again at the cabin

302
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:25.720
in terms of you know, actually
physically seeing one in the yard and we

303
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:32.480
would see like I say, figures
or shadows moved by the windows. It

304
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.640
was just a one story cabin so
that you could just walk around the whole

305
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:41.319
place and look inside any window you
wanted. And so it came to the

306
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.680
place time where you know, I
every time we went to the cabin,

307
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.400
I would not sleep in the bedrooms. I would only sleep in the living

308
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.359
room, which was the most interior
room in the house that was away from

309
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:57.920
all the windows. That's the only
place I would sleep after that, and

310
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:04.039
that was after to sleep bag.
That was after sleep sleeping bag experience exactly.

311
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.839
Okay, yeah, wow. And
I would never go out outside after

312
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.839
it got dark or like if you
we needed to get something from the car

313
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.319
or whatever. I mean, we
would grow shamba for it, because I

314
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:26.240
would not volunteer to go outside at
night anymore after that. That's that's very

315
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.079
interesting. How far away from the
cabin was your closest neighbor would you think?

316
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:40.359
Oh, I would say about four
four or five hundred yards towards the

317
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.920
back, towards the road, so
they were closer to the main road where

318
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:53.400
we were closer to the forest.
Very okay, very interesting. I'm guessing

319
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:59.599
the cabin is probably no longer in
the family, right, No, my

320
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:06.680
father sold it when he retired and
all the kids went to college. Have

321
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:15.000
you ever heard of any other or
any sightings or experiences with the Bigfoot in

322
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.400
that area? Have you ever heard
anything from other people or anything like that.

323
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.119
I don't think so, because,
like we only it was a you

324
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.680
know, vacation cabin for us,
So we only went out to like,

325
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.279
like I say, once a month, and so we didn't really you know,

326
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.319
we weren't there to talk with the
neighbors or that kind of thing.

327
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:42.680
Oh. We just kind of kept
for ourselves. And I am I do

328
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.880
remember around that time there were some
sightings in the Black Hills, but I

329
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:53.880
can't I can't tell you exactly where
they were gotcha interesting, So it might

330
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:59.839
be on the BFRO, it might
be used there. I don't know.

331
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:04.119
There's a few in because I believe
this would be Pennington County. There's a

332
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:11.799
few of them twenty because I think
you said National Forest, South Dakota,

333
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.319
so it be Black Hills National Forest? Is that right? That's yes,

334
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:21.559
I'd be Pennington County. So there's
a reported twenty nineteen, two thousand and

335
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:25.079
eight, in two thousand and six, and those are that's just the public

336
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.240
sightings, right. There's probably more
on the back end that we can't see.

337
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:36.480
But when you said, you just
just curious and this may help listeners

338
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:42.599
that also are familiar with that area. Was was this cabin near a specific

339
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:49.559
part of Black Hills National Forest?
Is there like an area or a location

340
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:57.160
that it was nearby inside the forest? Yeah? I don't want to get

341
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.599
two specific Okay, yes, it
happened, Well, it happened so long

342
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.519
ago, it doesn't really matter.
I I don't want to also force you

343
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:07.319
into anything, but you know,
no, no, no, it would

344
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.680
be people who know the Black Hills
or in the area. It's it's between

345
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.559
Sheridan Lake and Pactola Lake and the
forest and between the two lakes, to

346
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:30.240
the west of the highway. Gotcha, that's cool. That's cool. Sheridan

347
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:37.519
Lake, Yep, gotcha, I'm
looking at Yeah, Pactola Lake would be

348
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:45.400
just to the northwest of Sheridan Lake, and Chatting was between the two lakes,

349
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.440
but to the west drive in a
you know, about a half a

350
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:56.599
mile off the highway. Cool there. Yeah, listeners, if you have

351
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.160
seen or encountered anything in this area, feel free to reach out or you

352
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.200
know, put it in the comments. But man, Mark, that is

353
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:11.200
a really interesting story. It's the
first one I've had where someone was actually

354
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.720
carried off in a sleeping bag.
We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after

355
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:22.960
these words from our sponsors. And
it's actually, you know, that's very

356
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.920
rare. As you said, you
know, you've got the story of Albert

357
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:34.200
Osman from a very long time ago. But just curious, throw a few

358
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:41.480
things out to you see if anything
sticks. I've talked to a gentleman from

359
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:47.039
South Dakota, I believe South Dakota. His name is Burton Moran, and

360
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:52.599
he has this story of seeing giant
owls or hearing stories of giant owls in

361
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:59.519
that area. Is that anything that's
ever come across your plate. Well,

362
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:06.759
you know, it's funny you mentioned
that because my neighbor had said he had

363
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:15.119
a like a thirty five pound turkey
carried off by now and it couldn't quite

364
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.480
get all the way up, you
know, in the flight, and it

365
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.359
got caught in the barbed wire on
his on his on the fence and the

366
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:27.519
al ate as much as it could
and then left the carcass in the barbed

367
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:33.319
wire. Now, I mean you
you should know as well as I did,

368
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.640
that thirty five pounds for now is
outrageous. You know, that would

369
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:44.279
be impossible even for the largest even
for a congo, thirty five pounds is

370
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:51.200
it would be crazy. But that's
you know, it actually happened just you

371
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.799
know, right across the street from
me. Oh wow, yeah, that

372
00:31:55.240 --> 00:32:01.200
would have had to been a pretty
big creature too. Yeah, it'd have

373
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:06.680
to be huge. And because I
know that, you know, turkeys get

374
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.839
really big, and especially that tom
and it was his tom, and I

375
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.440
think it was like seven or eight
years old, and he said it was

376
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.279
thirty to thirty five pounds. And
I have turkeys too, and you know

377
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:24.319
my turkeys get up you know,
well over twenty five pounds and so,

378
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:30.880
yeah, that's that's something that you
know that's very recent. I mean that's

379
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.920
within the last few years here,
well that I've lived here, so I've

380
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:39.799
only been at my spot here for
about five years, and my neighbor told

381
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:45.880
me about that. Sure, sure
could definitely be something going on. Keep

382
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:50.880
an ear out if you ever hear
anything weird from that neighbor. Again,

383
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:57.440
you know who to talk to.
But yeah, another you know, saying,

384
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:02.000
I always have my ear open for
and so I'll bring it up just

385
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.799
in case. In your area,
have you ever heard anything or any sightings

386
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:15.480
regarding like a dog man or any
creature like canine creature on two legs or

387
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.519
anything that looks like a hyena at
all. No, nothing of that sort.

388
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.039
No, there's I mean the Black
Hills. I mean we have only

389
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:34.319
no white tailed deer. We have
mountain lions. I mean, we have

390
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.160
enough mountain lines that we actually have
a hunting season on them, so there's

391
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.599
quite a few of them. We
have maybe one or two bears that have

392
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:47.160
recently migrated into the Hills. One
came from Minnesota and one came from Wyoming.

393
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:54.519
But yeah, I've never heard of
anything of that sort. Happen here.

394
00:33:54.640 --> 00:34:00.559
I mean, we have coyotes,
of course, but yeah, nothing

395
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:07.400
of a dog man. Very very
interesting. Mark this is This has been

396
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.280
a cool conversation. It's it's a
story I wasn't expecting to come across in

397
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:17.760
the email, but I'm glad that
you sent it my way. Last question

398
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.960
before I let you go, and
I know you know you you weren't able

399
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.119
to really see the creature at all, but you know, it's just something

400
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:32.440
I ask when when you look at
Bigfoot or you're thinking of, you know,

401
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:39.800
what happened, do you picture this
creature as being or let's say,

402
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:45.000
how do how do you describe the
creature in your mind? Maybe more ape

403
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:50.559
like or human or or how do
you Uh, that's a resolution for well,

404
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.880
yeah, the fact I didn't have
uh a side, you know,

405
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:59.880
actually see the creature. But since
then, you know, I've delved in

406
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:05.159
to the subject. I've checked out
everything and read pretty much everything that's out

407
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:12.840
there, and I do believe it's
a you know, a living creature,

408
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.119
you know, flesh and blood like
we are. Because of the fact that

409
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:22.960
I was picked up. I don't
think there's anything really supernatural about them.

410
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.840
In terms of I've heard of you
know, being able to disappear and and

411
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:37.079
that kind of thing. I do
believe that they have, that they are

412
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:46.079
a genetic mix of human and another
you know, animal. I think it's

413
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:50.639
you know, a majority of human, but something else that makes them you

414
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:54.559
know, large and airy and be
able to you know, endure the elements

415
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.440
and that kind of thing. I've
heard. You know, I kind of

416
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:06.679
a someone who would think more to
the point of genetic you know, manipulation

417
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.639
by you know, intelligent life other
than ourselves. And you know, at

418
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.360
times I think that we were genetically
engineered because of the fact that how we've

419
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:21.639
shown up and just progressed so fast
that you know, it seems to be

420
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:27.800
kind of an experiment. Uh.
I do know that there are well,

421
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.079
you know, the kind of the
shift topics that there are aliens. I've

422
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:37.400
seen them, I've interacted with them, So anything's possible out there right now,

423
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.920
and you can't really understand. But
I you know, I've read something

424
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:51.840
about them being bred or a cross
between humans and a what was it the

425
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:00.440
giant type thing. Yeah, but
it wasn't you know, gigantic pictures.

426
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:07.519
It was actually you know, like
a giant wombback type thing. Wow,

427
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:13.320
is what it was? Well leamer, a giant leamer. I read that

428
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:19.679
they were they bred humans with and
that's how they got sasquatch. Interesting.

429
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.639
Yeah, that's it is an interesting
thing because if you look at the if

430
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.840
you look up a giant leamer,
they were huge. I mean they were

431
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.079
over ten feet tall and they were
big. And that would you know,

432
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:35.280
account for the size of these things. Uh. I couldn't tell you how

433
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.039
tall this thing was, but based
on the shadows and and that kind of

434
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:44.280
didn't moving around the house, they
would have to be well over you know,

435
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.719
seven feet tall, because they were
they would cover the top of the

436
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:51.840
windows when they walked by. Sure
was this in this? Remind me?

437
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.440
Is this in the seventies eighties?
What time frame would this have been?

438
00:37:54.719 --> 00:38:00.280
This would be in the seventies,
Yeah, because it would be like midst

439
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:06.360
Okay cool. Yeah, A lot
of crazy stuff happened bigfoot related around around

440
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.679
that timeframe all over the place,
so I would not be surprised at all.

441
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:16.159
Yeah. I don't know if you
are up for going down that road,

442
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:21.039
but you did allude to that you
have seen aliens and stuff like that.

443
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:30.079
Anything that you're whatever, I wasn't
going to really say too much about.

444
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:37.079
But it does because it does involve
Bigfoot. Okay, delve into it

445
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:43.159
a little bit here. I had
moved back. I was living I had

446
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:46.119
lived in Jamaica for like ten years, running a coffee for him, and

447
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:51.840
I'd come back to the States and
I wanted to come back somewhere a ways

448
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.320
I knew. So I came back
to Rapid City and moved into this house

449
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.920
that's kind of in the woods.
And I was doing very poorly. I

450
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:07.760
was drinking a lot. I was
not in good health. I was mentally

451
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:13.800
drained. And I had a friend
who claimed, you know, was a

452
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:17.199
psychic, and he says he can
talk with Bigfoot, and he said he'd

453
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:22.280
asked them to come he heal me. And that was just like I said,

454
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:28.000
well, thank you for that.
But anyways, one night I was

455
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.760
it was in the beginning of this, well the end of me. It

456
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:37.639
was. It was still nice.
I couldn't sleep, I was not feeling

457
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:43.360
good. I just was a bad
spot. So I was decided to sleep

458
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:47.039
out on the deck to see if
that would be nice. And then all

459
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:52.320
of a sudden I looked. I
looked up and there's a bigfoot looking right

460
00:39:52.320 --> 00:40:00.559
down at me, and this is
on my deck. And the thing was

461
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.599
very gray and white, like grizzled, like a very old, you know,

462
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:10.880
mountain man would look like you could
tell the he had his beard was

463
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:16.440
white. He just looked on at
me, and all I said is when

464
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:22.440
boy, you're a big, beautiful
guy. And I noticed that there was

465
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:28.599
three more, two more on the
deck and one standing off on the on

466
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.639
the ground looking up and my deck
is you know, you know, I

467
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:36.440
guess seven eight feet tall, and
his head was above that. He was

468
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:43.000
looking through the you know, the
spindle things there, and I was like,

469
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.960
wow. And all I said is, please don't eat my chickens.

470
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.079
That's what I could think of,
because I just I didn't know what to

471
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:55.119
do. And when I turned back, it came back inside and two,

472
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.440
see what my dogs are doing?
Because my dogs didn't bark at all,

473
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:05.840
they didn't react or anything, which
I thought was strange. And then I

474
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:12.480
went back outside and they were gone. And then a little bit later that

475
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:17.159
night. That night and then the
following nights, I kept seeing things out

476
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:22.599
of the corner of my eye,
movements in my house, little noises,

477
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:29.880
things like paper rustling, you know, that kind of stuff, and then

478
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:32.920
one day I got into my car
to go to the store, and I

479
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.880
started driving, and I hear all
this wrestling in my back seat, and

480
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.800
they go, holy cow, what
is that? So I turned around and

481
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.400
the park and Ride when I got
out, went inside, but I came

482
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:50.400
right back out, and at that
moment I saw it. I saw the

483
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:55.800
the little guy running from bush to
bush trying to hide. And it was

484
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:01.079
interesting because, I mean, he
was dark about oh i'd say, twenty

485
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:06.400
four inches two feet high, but
he was wearing a wig, you know,

486
00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:10.440
like a girl's wig and a girl's
dress, and you know, some

487
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:15.679
sort of I guess camouflage or disguise
to try to help them move around.

488
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:21.960
But I just couldn't believe in my
eyes. And then after that, I

489
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:25.679
mean I just kept seeing and hearing
them everywhere in the house and it was

490
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:32.079
crazy. So anyways, as the
story goes, they were here to heal

491
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:37.280
me, and so the Bigfoot,
the sasquatch, apparently has healing powers and

492
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:42.599
he was going to heal I had
a lot of injuries, surgery, bad

493
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:47.360
joints, all kinds of things,
and they had me lay down. But

494
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:52.199
the funny thing was a couple of
days later, people showed up at my

495
00:42:52.320 --> 00:43:00.599
house and said that they're doing a
sasquatch healing video. But in my mind

496
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:07.599
there was a something was planted,
like my neighbor they you know, how

497
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:12.280
it came out in my mind was
my neighbor had asked me if some people

498
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.000
can park in my driveway parked the
RV in my driveway, and I said

499
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:22.719
sure. So I thought these were
the people. And but the funny thing

500
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.519
is they showed up and they had
no vehicle. There was no vehicle in

501
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:31.800
the driveway. There was and they
would leave the house and just disappear like

502
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.480
there was no camp around my You
know, I have six acres of land

503
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.400
and there was no camp, there's
no nothing. They'd just show up,

504
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:47.719
which was I thought was really weird. But anyways, I when the healing

505
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.119
came, I'd lay down and these
little guys they had a little timer.

506
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.360
I think it was like a half
hour an hour long, and they'd start

507
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.119
out my toes and they started working
up and it was really weird. They're

508
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:07.880
like aligning my spine, lining all
my bones. We'll be back with more

509
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:16.719
Bigfoot Society after these words from our
sponsors. Making sure my muscles fired,

510
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:22.119
you know, at the same time
and equally, like both legs would have

511
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:28.079
equal you know, power coming out
when you flexed, and all these things

512
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:32.400
all the way up to my head. And before I know it, it's

513
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.280
twelve hours had passed and I was
getting tired, and I just asked them

514
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:42.239
to put me to bed, and
they did, and I woke up in

515
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:45.679
the morning just as fresh as you
could be. I mean, a lot

516
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:50.239
of my joint pains were gone,
my mind was clear, and it was

517
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:57.000
it was a really interesting experience.
And they have a you know, a

518
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:01.679
sasquatching our house is kind of a
something that most people don't have happened.

519
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:06.119
Yeah, you know, I would
definitely say so that's not that's not a

520
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.159
normal occurrence, but very very interesting
when you woke up the next day,

521
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:16.719
besides the fact that you were feeling
great, was there anything evidence wise that

522
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:22.599
would have proved to you that they
had actually been there? Yeah, Well,

523
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:27.480
when the sasquatch came in, my
house is in a frame, so

524
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:32.920
there's some areas that are very like
the ceiling is low, or the like

525
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:40.480
the hall of the stairs height,
and my drywall was broken and it looks

526
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:46.480
like his knee or something hit drywall. And broke my gryewall, and so

527
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.760
I don't want to fix it.
I kind of want to frame it.

528
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:57.119
But I was downstairs when when it
came in my upstairs and I heard it

529
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:02.400
walk through my house and it,
I mean, it was the heaviest steps

530
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:06.800
I've ever heard. I mean,
there's no way a person could make that,

531
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.880
not even ben if three people were
stomping at the same time. But

532
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:16.559
they make the sound I heard when
they came inside. So it was it

533
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:21.920
was very interesting. And he was
only here for one one night. I

534
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:25.280
mean, the what like you it's
counting the first encounter when I saw him

535
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.440
on the deck and then the following
day. But the little guys, they

536
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:36.880
stuck around for several days, and
they would do like adjustments to whatever they

537
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:40.679
did to me, Like whenever i'd
sit in the chair, they'd asked me

538
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.119
to put my hands down to the
side and they would come up. The

539
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:51.039
rule was that the people that came
with them was you cannot hear them talk

540
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.639
and you cannot look at them,
look to see if their you know,

541
00:46:54.000 --> 00:47:00.280
see them. Those are the two
rules. And so now I I allow

542
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.960
the rules because I was very grateful
for what they were doing. But so

543
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.719
when I put my hands to the
side, they would start touching, and

544
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:12.679
it was kind of like that et
moment. As soon as they would touch

545
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:17.119
you, you would feel a definite
energy and it was a you know,

546
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:22.440
I described it as a pure white
energy, like you know, love and

547
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.559
who will. It was just it
felt very good when I think they touched

548
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:30.320
and Dad asked them to touch my
finger a lot, and they would do

549
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:35.639
that. And then one of them
became kind of a friend for kind of

550
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.239
like me, and he would like
jingle a bell, kind of like a

551
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:42.960
little bell that you would have on
a dog collar, one of those little

552
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:46.400
ones, and then I would jingle
my keys and then he would jingle back,

553
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.400
and we kind of play the game. But you know, other than

554
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:55.199
the time that I saw him outside
the car, I never did see them

555
00:47:55.679 --> 00:48:00.920
fully inside my house. They would
always be super quick. I don't know

556
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.840
how how they did it, but
they're fast. But the thing was,

557
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:08.599
I would I was downstairs, that's
where I was living at the time,

558
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:14.719
and the staircase was right behind me
and the stairs had one of those creaks

559
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:16.639
in it. So one of the
stairs, every time you step on it

560
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:21.519
would creak, and whenever I would
feel something behind me. I would turn

561
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:24.320
real quick and then I drive that
creak as it was running up the stairs,

562
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:28.760
and I was, you know,
that's when I knew for sure that

563
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:34.840
you know, I wasn't you know, making you know, things were real

564
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.599
because of the fact that nothing was
there. There has to be weight on

565
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:45.159
that step to make it creak.
Sure, And what time, like what

566
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:51.000
years would have this happened in?
This was about five six years ago,

567
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:53.880
so not that long ago, Yeah, it was. It was fairly recent,

568
00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:00.119
and uh, you know, I
still have uh you know, you

569
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:05.920
know, very did the memories of
everything that happened. I mean down to

570
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:09.039
the you know, the minute on
some of the things. And it was

571
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:15.119
very interesting how they can put,
you know, thoughts into your mind and

572
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:21.840
memories into your mind and then you
think they're real. Because I asked my

573
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:24.119
neighbor, did you ever talk to
me about friends? And he said no,

574
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:30.519
And that was, you know,
kind of odd because he said that

575
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:36.960
in my mind it was planted a
memory that someone from his friends from Alabama

576
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.320
were coming. And then I asked
these people and they said, yeah,

577
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:45.480
we're from Alabama, so you know, everything was kind of weird, like

578
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:50.000
they searched my mind and they came
up with the story of the plant in

579
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:54.960
there to explain why these people would
suddenly appear at my house. That's very

580
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:59.559
very interesting. Would you think of
you know, if you had to choose

581
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.400
one or the other, would you
think of them more as uh sasquatch or

582
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:12.800
as aliens? Which what do you
mean by that sotch? You would say,

583
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:16.039
are aliens or the ones that you
encountered there? Would you say they're

584
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:24.840
definitely a Sasquatch or the sasquatch for
sasquatch and the aliens were I mean they

585
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:30.000
could talk to me, you know, you know, psychically or whatever philepathy.

586
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.000
And I asked some questions and they
would they would answer, and I

587
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.559
would ask, are you guys extra
tresholds? Is that why you're so small?

588
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:42.840
And they would ask they would answer, yes, that kind of thing,

589
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:46.280
or they would tap on my hand
or or something. They would respond.

590
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.239
And so they were, you know, here to help me. And

591
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:59.199
I don't know if it's because my
friend asked for it or or whatever,

592
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:02.559
but maybe they have a plan for
me later on. I don't know,

593
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:10.199
uh, but it was something that
I didn't expect. I no longer have

594
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:15.400
to go in the woods and search
for them because one was on I looked

595
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:20.400
at one right face to face on
my deck, like, you know,

596
00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:25.880
the facial features are pretty much what
you see on you know, online,

597
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:34.599
and that we're just kind of you
mixed up all the different you know,

598
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:38.440
variations people come up with, and
just came with up with one that's pretty

599
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:44.360
much what it looked like, you
know, very large, very covered,

600
00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:52.519
and hair face does not have hair
on it. It's I didn't really see

601
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.840
the head, I mean the top
of the head, I mean, because

602
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.079
it was dark. It was my
light was inside, was on inside,

603
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:04.280
but I was on the decade.
There was no lights on. Uh.

604
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.199
Because the other ones were just figures. I couldn't see. I couldn't make

605
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.920
out anything on the other ones.
They were dark, you know, dark

606
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.840
dark colors, so they're either dark
brown or black, and I couldn't see

607
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.519
anything other than their shape. But
the one that was just standing, you

608
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:23.559
know, right in front of me, you know, he didn't make any

609
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:28.079
noise, he didn't make any gestures
or any movements. You know, I

610
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.559
put them. We don't know how
cool he is, and he's don't eat

611
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:36.199
my chickens. I went to check
out my dogs and like I said,

612
00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:40.400
I came back and they were gone. That's very interesting. And you said

613
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:46.239
this also happened in South Dakota.
Yeah, okay, yeah, this is

614
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:52.079
in Vada Kota. This is you
know, right outside of town, right

615
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.159
outside of Rapid City, right right, that's right. You said that,

616
00:52:54.559 --> 00:53:00.039
is there a history of like high
strangeness type events like is happening in that

617
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:07.199
area? I'm really you know,
growing up here, I don't recall too

618
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:12.239
many. We do have an Air
Force base out here, okay, and

619
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:15.880
we do have a lot of nuclear
weapons out here, a lot of you

620
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:22.800
know, missile silos out in the
prairie, and uh we have the one

621
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.920
of the largest fleets of the B
one bombers now to be or to be

622
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.719
two new ones that are coming out, So I mean there could be reason

623
00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:35.679
for them to be around here.
Yeah. Now, when you hear of

624
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:40.079
areas that have government bases and nukes
and things like that, you can have

625
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:45.440
I mean, that's where you get
some really interesting stories. And I'm sure

626
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:49.480
that you know, there's probably listeners
that could be like, oh yeah,

627
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:52.559
in that area of Rapid City,
Mike Gonness, there's been weird stuff happening

628
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.960
near that base. You know,
guys, feel free to secure those in

629
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:00.239
the comments, or you can send
it to my email if you need to

630
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:05.639
be safe when you share whatever you
got. But Mark, this has been

631
00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:13.320
a wild conversation and I think it's
definitely going to lead to some memories coming

632
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:17.519
out in people's minds that are hearing
this, so I appreciate you sharing it,

633
00:54:17.639 --> 00:54:23.400
sir. Yeah, there's no problem. It's something that's you know a

634
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:27.519
lot of I tell people every now
and then. I don't really tell them

635
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.880
the details. I just tell them
that I believe in it and I have

636
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.880
no reason to doubt it, and
then if they want to build into it,

637
00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:39.000
then I'll tell them more. But
that's about all they do. Absolutely

638
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:45.519
well. If if anything else interesting
happens in the future, feel free to

639
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:49.400
reach out. You can always pass
on my info to anyone you run into

640
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.159
as well that's had stuff happen.
But thanks for hanging out tonight. Mark.

641
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:55.400
Yeah, no worries, So you
have a good night too, you

642
00:54:55.519 --> 00:55:06.480

00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:15.920
their encounter in a safe and respected
environment. But we need to hear your

645
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:22.480

you just can't explain, please send me

647
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:32.760
conversation. And I know a lot
of you have not shared your encounter at

648
00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:37.519
all. It's been twenty years and
it's time that you get this off your

649
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:42.360
chest and then you can get some
well deserved for rest, because I know
