All right, Big for Society. You've got the privilege of

14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.719
talking to Harry today. Harry is an individual that had

15
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.840
left a comment on the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel and

16
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.640
I had reached out to him and thankfully he had

17
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.240
contacted me back and he's got some things to share.

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.799
Will be going over a few instances that he's experienced

19
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.399
over the years. But thanks for being here on the

20
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.280
show with me tonight, Harry. How's it going.

21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.560
It's going good. It's my pleasure, very good.

22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.079
I know a little bit about where we're going tonight,

23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.319
but some of this is going to be first listen

24
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.480
for me. Yeah, Harry, feel free. If there's anything else

25
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.079
that the listeners would need to know about you, feel

26
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.599
free to share that. Then you can bring us back

27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.920
to where we need to be when this all started

28
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:24.200
for you.

29
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:30.719
Okay. I'm sixty seven years old. I'm in northwest Georgia,

30
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.120
and I've lived in this area all my life so far,

31
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.920
i'd like to say, because I'm not through. It's started

32
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:43.799
in Whitfield County, but later in life here there, I

33
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.799
went back and I remember some something when I was

34
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.959
a child that I didn't didn't really register until to

35
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.719
these latter incidents.

36
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:56.519
And I would like to.

37
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.159
Say that when I was a child, I was in

38
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.760
the what we call the woods behind the house. It's

39
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.159
in Whitfield County in northwest Georgia, and my brothers left

40
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.680
me away from the house and we were down at

41
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.120
the old barn and I was laughing. I said, I

42
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.080
know these woods off the back of my hand, so

43
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.159
I'm not worried. I was about six years old. This

44
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.360
was in about nineteen sixty three, and what happened at

45
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.120
that time, there was a large thicket and one tree

46
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.439
over it, just probably about seventy five yards from me.

47
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.639
One tree just began to shape violently, and this tree

48
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.240
was about fifteen or twenty feet high, And like today,

49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.800
I was just a child at the time, and this

50
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.000
tree was just shaking tremendously and violently, and I didn't

51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.759
know what was causing it. I was down there by myself,

52
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.080
so I really just as a child, I put it

53
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.120
out of my mind and I forgot about it until

54
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.360
later in life when I encountered these had these other encounters,

55
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.240
and it made me go back and think about that.

56
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.199
But if you want to come on around the modern times, now,

57
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:13.319
this was in the year twenty twenty, just a few

58
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.280
years back, and we have a piece of property that

59
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.879
borders the Chattahoochee National Forest. And I was clearing, doing

60
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.840
some clear and building a road up through here where

61
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.360
I was planning on building. And it's pretty far back

62
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.039
upol the mountain, most further than most of the other

63
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.159
houses in this area.

64
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.159
The houses are far down in this area.

65
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.759
But I was up here by myself, and this was

66
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:49.560
on the follow afternoon, and I heard what I had heard,

67
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.479
what it sounded like tree knocks up on the ridge

68
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.560
because I'd seen the big Foot programmer too, I'd seen

69
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.960
first fem especially, and then i'd seen the other fems

70
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.800
that showed about the tree night. And so I heard

71
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.800
this up on the ridge a good ways and I

72
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.960
took it and started knocking back. And this it's repeated

73
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.839
several times, and I thought that was really odd, but

74
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.839
that was it stuck out in my mind. But at

75
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.279
the same time, just a few moments later, way back

76
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.399
up on the ridge, probably about a half a mile

77
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.040
from where I was, a loud I'd best describe it

78
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:37.000
as a singing noise or singing vocalization. It would change

79
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.839
in tune like they were singing, but just there were

80
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.199
no words to it. And I tried to mimic it,

81
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.240
but it was so high that I couldn't get that high.

82
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.920
But I answered it and tried to sound like it

83
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:50.480
was sounding.

84
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.199
And the next time it sounded back, it was about

85
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.399
two hundred yards from me and gotten much much closer,

86
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.879
and it spooked me, and at that.

87
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:04.920
Time I left.

88
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.959
And this was the beginning of when I started thinking

89
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.000
about maybe there is something to this Bigfoot even in

90
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.319
this area here in northwest Georgia.

91
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.000
This is very interesting, Harry. I have a few questions

92
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.600
about that. So that you said bordering the Chattahoochee National

93
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.240
Forest in northwest Georgia, right.

94
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.920
Yes, and it's also part of the Johns Mountain Wildlife

95
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.720
Management Area.

96
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.680
Yeah, yep, Okay. That has come up a few times

97
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.920
in other episodes. That's really interesting. Also. The other thing

98
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.079
that has come up multiple times or I've heard it

99
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.720
in other places is this loud singing noise vocalization. I've

100
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:52.519
heard that from southeast Oklahoma. I've heard it mentioned out

101
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.199
in the Pacific Northwest in areas out there. Did it

102
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:04.040
sound like it was more masculine or feminine or what

103
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.199
kind of singing would you think?

104
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.639
I would think feminine, one reason being, or the main

105
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.439
reason being, because it was so high pitched and it.

106
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.480
Did not sound like a human.

107
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.759
The vocalization very strong, but it was high pitched, so

108
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.240
high pitched that I couldn't reach that hiber pitch and

109
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:25.319
I tried to mimic it.

110
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.839
And did you say it would go down in pitch

111
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.360
as well?

112
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:38.639
Yes, it was like several different pitches, but I'd say

113
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.720
four or five different tones. But it was very high

114
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.120
and it was like it was singing. It was strange,

115
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.680
but it was way off. But though it was way off,

116
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:49.360
it was loud.

117
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.639
Had you the tune you were singing or sorry, the

118
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.199
tune that you were listening to. Did it remind you

119
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.240
of any other song that you've heard before or.

120
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.120
No, it didn't, Jeremiah.

121
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.720
It was just a series of changing notes, and it

122
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.519
didn't remind me of any other song. It It was

123
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.759
different than anything I've ever heard as far as that goes.

124
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.120
It was just a change of tone, change of pictures.

125
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.279
Music and singing really affects us as humans in different

126
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.199
ways all over the place. Did hearing this affect you

127
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.360
in any certain way?

128
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.480
I'm a musically inclined person. I've sang all my life

129
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.279
and I played the guitar. We grew up singing in

130
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.199
the Baptist Church as a matter of fact, when we

131
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.720
were children. But it sticks with me because it sounded

132
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:47.480
more like singing than just something that didn't mean anything.

133
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.680
It sounded like a teaenus that something that someone made up.

134
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.360
But it didn't sound like anything I knew. It was

135
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.639
aware of the difference in tones that it was making,

136
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.560
very much aware.

137
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.600
Gotcha, did it sound like there was just one individual

138
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.160
singing or was it a group of multiple individuals?

139
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.120
Yeah, it was just one individual. It didn't take it

140
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.120
long very to get closer by a lot, because, like

141
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.639
I say, the first time I heard it seemed like

142
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.040
it was a half mile up on the ridge, and

143
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.519
then next time it was just up behind me a

144
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.199
couple of hundred yards, and I thought that strange. It

145
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.319
was moving fast. It had moved fast. It didn't sing

146
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.080
while it was in between. It sang from that far

147
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.480
away point until it was behind me sing again.

148
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.159
What time of day again was this?

149
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.360
This was early afternoon?

150
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.080
Okay?

151
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.679
And so then what did you do after it got

152
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.440
extremely closer to you?

153
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.799
I left. I didn't want to.

154
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.600
I didn't want to experience it or come into contact

155
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.960
with anything like that. And it spooke me a little

156
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.759
bit because it was unlike anything I ever experience. So

157
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.879
I just left the area.

158
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.720
Was this area that it happened and was it known

159
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.919
for any other encounters or weird things that would happen?

160
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.480
No, I know I have personally, I've been in the

161
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:21.159
lifelong outdoors and I'm a retired stonemason and the land industry,

162
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.320
and I've seen black cats or what I would continue

163
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.000
to be jaguars, and I've heard their sounds. I've actually

164
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:33.000
got a picture of one. I've seen black bear, I've

165
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:38.000
seen bobcats, I've seen foxes, I've seen anything in this

166
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.039
area deer. And it wasn't like you need to sound

167
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:47.679
I'd ever heard before, and I had never heard anyone

168
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.200
say anything about that.

169
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.600
After this happened, Did you share it with anyone? What

170
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:55.320
had happened to you?

171
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.120
Yes?

172
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.360
Yes, I told my wife about it, and I told

173
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.639
a couple of my friends about it, and they listen

174
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.879
with interest, but they probably didn't think much but because

175
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.399
they wasn't hear and that I was by myself.

176
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.639
And this was back when you were sixty three years

177
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.720
old at twenty twenty.

178
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.720
Right, Yes, it's before we moved over to where I'm

179
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.879
at now. I live in this area. I live now,

180
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.440
I live here where that happened, which would take me

181
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.120
to the next set of experiences.

182
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.200
One more question before we get there. We all remember

183
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.720
what happened in twenty twenty. Were there many people out

184
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.879
in the woods during that time.

185
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.120
No more than no more than the usual. It's very

186
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.879
remote because the area is steep, it's the side of

187
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.720
a mountain range.

188
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.519
Which normally no one is going to walk on.

189
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159
And that's the thing about this area. There is so

190
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.559
much area where a creature could live that no one

191
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.279
would ever step foot upon them. It's the side of

192
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.759
a ridge, and the ridge is seven or eight miles long,

193
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.960
and it's just one ridge of many as you go.

194
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.039
If you go over the ridge behind the house, you're

195
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.799
into the Chattahoochie Nashta Falst Weather's not there's no homes.

196
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:14.679
There's no houses.

197
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.879
But you can get to that area.

198
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.480
You can drive fouriler back through there. But I'd wanst

199
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.159
say ninety percent of there is so inaccessible that no

200
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.279
one would ever walk it or be with on a vehicle.

201
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.879
And there are what we call the Laurel thickets.

202
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.240
They're just so thick you can't see, you can't see

203
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.519
ten foot in front of you.

204
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:39.799
It's so thick.

205
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.000
Absolutely like up in Tennessee. I believe I usually hear

206
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.240
people talk about that in interviews from people up there,

207
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.279
that Laurel Mountain, Laurel it is hard to get through.

208
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.840
Yes, it's gnarly, very gnarly, and it grows low to

209
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:02.240
the ground and it's evergreen. The leaves stay here around

210
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.039
and it makes a beautiful flower in the spring, but

211
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.039
you can't. You just have to crawl through it if

212
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.000
you're going to get through it.

213
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.879
So interesting that that is very interesting. It kind Now

214
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.399
we have this one thing. This will be added to

215
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.320
my kind of catalog I have in my mind of

216
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.399
different places around the US where people have heard weird

217
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.240
singing that's been attributed to some creature out in the woods.

218
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.399
But Harry, feel free to continue with what happened next.

219
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.600
Okay, Actually, my wife and I have been here and

220
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.399
in the night time we would actually hear what I

221
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.960
would call us singing back up older ridge, but it

222
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.039
was a little bit lower in tone. I didn't think

223
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.759
it would have been the same creature. But just for

224
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.279
no reason, it starts singing. It. He usually sets the

225
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.519
coyotes out to how and which there's a colity problem

226
00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.080
around here.

227
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.240
But when the.

228
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.039
Howdi is hear this sound, it gets an excited and

229
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.600
they start haling. But it's not a couty and it's

230
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.360
not a wolf. It's a different creature. But that's that

231
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:21.679
happens too. But now there's an area it's the Tekoa River,

232
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.480
which is a little bit east from here. It's in

233
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.799
a different county, but it's very mountainous and remote. This

234
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.679
would be about probably twenty years ago that it's another

235
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.000
incident that made me wonder. That's like when I was

236
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.200
a child and saw that bush shaking and didn't have

237
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.080
an didn't have an explaination for it. At this certain time,

238
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.279
we were camped on the Taco River and there was

239
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.879
a campside about one hundred yards long that several campers

240
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:53.240
were there, probably about fifteen camps, and I didn't camp

241
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.039
right on the river. I camped on the gravel driveway

242
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.559
across from the river tracks. But the river there is

243
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.840
about one hundred and fifty feet wide, and it's not

244
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:07.559
a raging river. It flows gently. This particular night, it

245
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.200
got to be about ten o'clock. Again, most everyone had

246
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.279
steaks on grilling and hot dollars an burysells.

247
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:14.960
The smell was.

248
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.639
It was a smell of someone cooking, and everyone had

249
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.600
music playing, everybody's in their own counts, but they were

250
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:25.080
It wasn't a quiet area. They were pretty much partying,

251
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:33.320
and a commotion started out across the river and I

252
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.000
had never heard anything like it then At the time,

253
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.919
I didn't think Bigfoot. Didn't enter my mind. Back then,

254
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:45.039
but on the opposite bank of the river. It was

255
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.840
a cutover that was real thick. The bushes were shaking,

256
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.480
like they'd be here and then twenty feet down the

257
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.039
river they'd go to shaking, and then another area they'd

258
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.960
skip back and forth. Maybe they were different creatures of it.

259
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:09.840
And a loud gut scream roar, and I was thinking bears.

260
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.919
But then I thought, somebody's over playing a trick on us.

261
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:17.080
But it was inaccessible over There's no way anyone could

262
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.159
have got over it and played that loud of a

263
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.720
recording and shook that many bushes at one time.

264
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.159
This was It was unreal because there was so much.

265
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.039
There were so many small trees and bushes shaking, but

266
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.799
they were back out of sight, say thirty forty feet

267
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.360
from the river, and.

268
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:35.039
It was so thick.

269
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.320
And this went on and every camp on the river

270
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.440
was totally quiet. No one was saying anything. It shut

271
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.559
the whole camp down from across the river and whatever.

272
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.279
This was just roll screaming or growling or vocalization as

273
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.399
loud as good and shaking bushes up and down that bank.

274
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.840
And I thought the first thing I thought of the

275
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:07.840
time was bears. And it finally stopped about This went

276
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.320
on about ten or fifteen minutes, and every camp was

277
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.879
quiet as they could be. Nobody was saying anything. That

278
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.360
was just everyone fascinated. So as it passed, things everyone

279
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.919
got back to normal. Well, wake up the next morning.

280
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.960
There were some bear tracks around our tent, so that's

281
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.840
what I attributed to. But looking back, I'm not so

282
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:28.679
sure that the bears wasn't on our side of the

283
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.039
river to get away from that commotion. The commotion just

284
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.159
it was just.

285
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.399
Unreal how it was going on.

286
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.200
At the time, I didn't think about it being defoot,

287
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.440
but looking back now that's I'm thinking that could have

288
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.600
been sasquatch.

289
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.840
But now I'm still going to get here.

290
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.159
In a few minutes, I'll get to the eye sight

291
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.879
to them the main one.

292
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.200
Sorry, Harry, real real quick. What was the year again

293
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.360
for that that that camping incident.

294
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.440
If it were twenty years ago, then it was probably

295
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.000
back around nineteen ninety five or between ninety five and

296
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.640
two thousand. Okay, it's been a long time, but I

297
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.119
remember it like it was yesterday.

298
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.640
Oh, absolutely were there was there any weird smells going

299
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.359
on around that area besides the meat being cooked.

300
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.839
Well, you couldn't smell anything for all the meat that

301
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.799
was cooking, and besides it, it was it was all

302
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.680
the way across the river. And I never have experienced

303
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.000
a smell. I know that a lot of people mentioned

304
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.880
the smell, but I've never experienced a motor or smell.

305
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.640
Harry, have you ever looked on places like the Bigfoot

306
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.079
Mapping project to see if the area where you've had

307
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.039
things happen, if there's other encounters that have happened there too.

308
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.960
No, I haven't.

309
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.960
It might be something that might be fun to do

310
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.279
if you ever get the chance later do You just

311
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.640
got a bigfootmap dot com and you can see where

312
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.200
all the different reports are on the map and you

313
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.920
can look up your area where you experienced stuff, and

314
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.880
it's pretty cool.

315
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.920
But I know I have seen on YouTube over and

316
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.319
around La Jay and Takoa where I was talking about,

317
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.480
there have been some sidings mentioned over in that area.

318
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.680
But now where I'm at.

319
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.480
Specifically here, I've not heard of any. So I will

320
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.319
look that up because I'd be interested.

321
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.440
Absolutely, because Ella Jane and Cherry Log and Blue Ridge,

322
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.000
that's the where the museum's over at. Correct, That's correct,

323
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.440
That's correct, it's a lot of activity, which.

324
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.640
Where I live is probably seventy miles from there, something

325
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.319
maybe sixty miles.

326
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.839
All right, feel free to continue, Harry.

327
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:50.119
Okay, a friend of mine and his name is Greg,

328
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:57.960
and we're hunting on the property which is in Walker County, Georgia,

329
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.200
is where I live. And we honted the normal the

330
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.440
afternoon till till it got about dark. And when we

331
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:10.400
came down and we got my truck and by that

332
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.119
time it was dark. It just got dark, so we

333
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:17.039
had the had lights on and my driveway is it's

334
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.359
good ways to the paved road, probably about half a mile.

335
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.960
We drove down to the paved road. We turned left

336
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:24.640
and there's.

337
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:29.119
A series of as curves, real sharp curves, and there's

338
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.200
some chicken houses, which I sometimes I think that has

339
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.119
something to do with it, but there's some there's large

340
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.119
air of chicken houses off the road, and then there's

341
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.319
a couple of houses. But as we were going around

342
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.480
the second set of curves, which the real sharp curves,

343
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.279
which I drive about fifteen maybe twenty miles an hour,

344
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.680
and all of a sudden, this is where I saw it,

345
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.720
this creature which if I reach I'm five foot ten.

346
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.400
So if I reached my hands as tip was my

347
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.079
head or as high as I can in the air

348
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.240
and spread them out, that's how large this creature was.

349
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.759
Taller and larger than me. I would say this creature

350
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.920
was seven foot tall easy, and his shoulders were broad.

351
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:18.799
And would looked away.

352
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.960
I don't know, four or five hundred pounds, and I

353
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.279
will stop my truck in the middle of the road,

354
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.279
just hit the brakes. And I looked at Greg and

355
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.279
I said, did you see that? And he said, yes,

356
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.759
I did, but I was not going to say anything

357
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:40.720
if you didn't. And he said it was bipedal, and

358
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.640
I said, it certainly was. Now, this creature was the

359
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.480
color of I must say about like dead tiny brown.

360
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.920
It wasn't black, but it was a It was a

361
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.799
reddish brown. And what I saw was a very glimpse,

362
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.279
very short glimpse. This creature stepped up on the bank,

363
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.200
which if he stopped it and looked there, he was

364
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.279
about six foot with one step. It stepped up this

365
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.279
to my left, and it was out of sight at

366
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.759
the time I had stopped it. It's still in the

367
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:17.279
road as soon as I stopped. Nice grig, did you

368
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.720
see that? And enhance me. Then I eased on up

369
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.279
just a few feet to where it actually cross road,

370
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.920
and the trees had been cleared out. They're a big

371
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.039
oak tree grove there. But I didn't see anything and

372
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.079
moving at all. Whatever it was gone where they had

373
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.839
run as fast as it could, where they had.

374
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.799
Climbed up, I don't know.

375
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.680
But I finally saw, and I've never seen anything like

376
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.920
that before. I've never seen anything like it since. The

377
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.160
only way I could describe it is that it was

378
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.480
a big foot. That's the only thing in my mind

379
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.200
that looks like that. But this creature was very large

380
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.920
and very fast, and we both saw it and were amazed,

381
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.920
and it was gone in an instant. Now that's what

382
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.599
I saw, and I cannot see that not in my mind.

383
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:06.160
I would always see it. And that's my That's what

384
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.960
I'm going to say, is my siding of a bigfoot,

385
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.920
because it makes no sense what any other creature that

386
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.839
could could have been.

387
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.440
Oh wow, Harry, that that is that is intense. So

388
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.559
you saw it for very short probably just a second

389
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:21.880
or two.

390
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.559
It sounds like, I must say, two seconds, Yeah, one thing,

391
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.599
one time, two and it was gone. That was from

392
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.279
about imost say that was like forty yards and then

393
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.240
I slammed the brakesone gotcha.

394
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.400
And this sounds like was it a side view as

395
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:43.279
it stepped across or did you get a dead on forward.

396
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.920
View or it was turning to what I would say

397
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.880
was turning to its right and it crossed in front

398
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.920
of us, So it was like a side.

399
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.519
View of creature.

400
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.160
But it was just a huge mass.

401
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.640
So you mentioned it made a pretty pretty long stride

402
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:05.880
when it was walking across. Was it doing anything did

403
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.359
you notice anything else weird about its gate, how it moved,

404
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.559
how it was holding.

405
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.079
Out, because when I saw it, it was already on

406
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.039
the left side of the road. And what I actually

407
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.359
saw would it was it go from the road and

408
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.440
it's six feet up that bank and there's a trailbar.

409
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.680
It's it's a six foot step up to that bank

410
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.119
in the creature made that in one step.

411
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.160
It was it was just quick.

412
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:35.559
It was gone. Now what I got to think of

413
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.480
the chicken houses down this area dirt on the right

414
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:40.079
side of the road, and there's two sets of it,

415
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.400
and maybe the chickens were they throw out the dead

416
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.400
chickens attracted it or what or for what it was

417
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.400
doing down there. I don't know it came out of

418
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.680
a cattle pasture where the chicken houses are.

419
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.599
You mentioned that it had reddish brown hair. Did you

420
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.640
happen to see if it was if it had long hair,

421
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:01.559
or how.

422
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.440
It appeared to have the hair like I say, like

423
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.279
a golden retriever's length or something three or four inches

424
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.039
of hair. It was covered. It was hair all over

425
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:16.480
to what I saw. I didn't see any distinct features

426
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.200
like the face or the hands or the feet. I

427
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.279
saw it just on side of the road that moved

428
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.440
so quickly that I didn't see anything distinct about it.

429
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.359
When it moved up the bank, did it have to

430
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.279
reach up and grab anything to pull itself up or

431
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.920
did it just step right up that bank.

432
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.839
That's a very interesting question. I have not thought about

433
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.200
that until you said it, And in my mind it

434
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.480
made me picture that I did see the creature reaching.

435
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:50.279
When you mentioned that, I went back in my memory,

436
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.000
and for an.

437
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.880
End I could see the creature reaching to get up

438
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:58.200
that six foot bank. But it still made it one step,

439
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.519
reaching forward, like it made that long step and reached forward,

440
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.839
and that was all I could see of it. It

441
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:09.039
was just before we moved over here in the camper,

442
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.880
and I started building the house. Actually I started building

443
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:16.559
the camper first. A cabbin first, I have, which would

444
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:19.319
lead me to the other part of the story, which

445
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.799
would be the last part of the story.

446
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:25.000
After you had that roadside sighting, Harry, how did that

447
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.640
affect you?

448
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.319
I'll never forget it. And I knew it was I

449
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.079
knew it was not a bar and it was not there,

450
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:33.799
and it was not a bird.

451
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.839
It just I just accepted the fact that I've seen

452
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.400
the Bigfoot. Now, I've told people about this, and some

453
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.599
people are very interested. Some people listened and would respect.

454
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.039
Some people make fun and they're not going to believe

455
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.880
you whatever you say. They don't believe in it. But

456
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.960
you will not convince me that the big Foot is

457
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.680
not real, because that's what I've seen.

458
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.319
I don't know what else it could have been.

459
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:03.440
It's my big foot siding and I was not looking

460
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.519
for it. I was not expecting it. But I cannot

461
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.359
get it out of my mind. I can say it

462
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:10.680
right now. This is plain as I saw it back then.

463
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.119
It is.

464
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.839
It is burning into my memory.

465
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:19.599
A lot of witnesses will try to talk themselves out

466
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.160
of what they saw or logically think it could be

467
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.839
something else. Is there any chance it could have been

468
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.960
something else? Or was it just what you saw was

469
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.319
so blatantly a bigfoot.

470
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:35.119
If I had been by myself, I may have questioned it.

471
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.680
But my friend Greg saw the same thing that I did,

472
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.799
and he described the same thing that I saw, and

473
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.039
to this day we both will say that's what we

474
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.519
saw was a bigfoot.

475
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.599
There's not another creature in this area that.

476
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.480
There's nothing like it.

477
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:59.799
Wow, that is incredibly awesome. Thank you for sharing that.

478
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:02.839
I enjoy sharing it because people need to know if

479
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.400
they're wanting to know that that there are I am

480
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.640
an eyewitness, and I'm sure there are others around in

481
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.799
this area and this state, but I will I would

482
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.920
verify that. I would promise you that's what I saw.

483
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.119
I don't believe in swearing, but I will tell you

484
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.920
that's what I saw. There's no doubt in my mind.

485
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:27.000
I'll tell you I've talked to a few people that

486
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.119
have definitely had sightings in that northwest corner where you're at,

487
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:37.240
in especially that John Mountain's wildlife area, which is I

488
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.720
believe the other people I talked to were down by

489
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.680
armici or ARMOCHI.

490
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:47.000
Yeah, yeah, that's this area here. That's not far at all.

491
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:48.640
Okay, gotcha.

492
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.559
And there there's a lot of open land between when

493
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.119
you get on over it, even to Alabama.

494
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.960
It's the terrain is the same.

495
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.920
There's farms and farm land, and.

496
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.359
There's woodlands, and there's a lot of area.

497
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.960
And these the sides of these mountains are inaccessible, and

498
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.400
a creature who could live would never be seen unless

499
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.880
it wanted to all, unless it was an accident when

500
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.200
it was down on the road or something.

501
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.720
It's weird if you start to look at a map

502
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.000
and you just focus on like the wildlife areas, and

503
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:23.599
you look at that Georgia in Alabama, it's almost there's

504
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:28.759
an invisible diagonal line that connects this this John's Mountain,

505
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:31.200
and you can almost connect it down to the whole

506
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:35.200
Talladega National Forest, which is interesting.

507
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:40.119
We call this the foothills of Appalachia, the mountains, what

508
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.920
we call the mountain. A lot of people wouldn't call

509
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.799
them mountain even though there the elevation is like fifteen

510
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.480
hundred feet above sea level. Here, I can be in

511
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:54.359
thirty minutes, I could be to the top of it.

512
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:55.960
If I'm packing for a good pace.

513
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.799
But the foothills and the range they go, they just

514
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:03.359
go and go all the way down to about below Roam,

515
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.079
Georgia and then over into Alabama. But that's probably what

516
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.720
it would appear to be. Still the wildlife areas or

517
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.839
where the wildlife reserves are is the mermans that they

518
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.599
that wouldn't can't really be developed for anything else.

519
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.200
Absolutely, Harry, feel free. I believe we're on number five

520
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.279
if you would like to share that as well.

521
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.000
Okay, when I was working on the cabin here.

522
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.759
And I was doing it all by myself and my

523
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:39.240
wife and I and this was about two o'clock in

524
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.880
the morning. This is something I can't forget and can't

525
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.000
get out of my mind. This was about two o'clock

526
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.480
in the morning. And when we're finished, so I turned

527
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.279
the generator off and turned the lights off, and I

528
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.799
was throwing things in the back of my truck like

529
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.079
shovel and just clanging, a bunch of clanking going on,

530
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:01.359
making a lot of racket. And I heard the noise

531
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:05.119
and my wife said, did you hear that? And I

532
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.759
said no, I didn't walk And then I was quite

533
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:13.720
sure about that time this creature let out a guttural

534
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.960
as loud it was. This shook you on the inside.

535
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.000
This creature was one hundred yards only at the most

536
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.039
from where we were standing up on the side of

537
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:34.440
the ridge behind we're working, and it let out the

538
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:43.160
loudest guttural vocalization that I've ever heard. I was going

539
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:45.359
to compare it to anything that will be compared to

540
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:47.440
an African line, not a bear.

541
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.640
And it shook me to the bone.

542
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.359
And it did. And she said, you heard that, and

543
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.400
I said, I certainly did. Let's go, let's get out

544
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.680
of here, because that's geared me. Now its first time

545
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.400
this creature has scared me, which I want to say

546
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.880
that I believe this creature wants does not want to

547
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:12.160
bother us, because if it wanted to, it could. But

548
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.160
this was so loud, like it was so angry or

549
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.880
so much proclaiming its territory and letting us know. See,

550
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.240
this is when I first moved up here. I was

551
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.200
first moving up here and standing up here. So this

552
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.000
was so scary and so loud and hair raising that

553
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.880
as a ready to go and get out from here,

554
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.240
which is what we did. This creature screamed, growled, what

555
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.559
you want to call it, vocalized. This lasted for about

556
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.799
a minute, which is a long time to hear something

557
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.519
like this, and it started a little bit low, but

558
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:52.839
it ended up so loud, with so much power that

559
00:31:53.200 --> 00:32:00.759
it was something unreal. And we heard it only and clearly,

560
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.359
and we left, both of us left, and it scared us.

561
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.599
It didn't scare us the point where we wasn't coming back.

562
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.000
But I said, if it wanted to hurt us, it

563
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.559
could hurt us because at any time.

564
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:14.279
But I will never forget that.

565
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:18.680
And I'm on tee if anyone ever hears that sound,

566
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.240
they will never forget it. And whatever it is, that

567
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.440
could only be a bigfoot. It's not a bear, it's

568
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.880
not a ball cat, it's not a mountain lion. It's

569
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:32.000
not a fox. It's louder, louder than the loudest African

570
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.720
roar African line as it growls and roars. So that's

571
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.559
that's that's Since then, we've heard a little bit of

572
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:42.599
the singing up on the mounta named the trade Knocker two.

573
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:44.880
But it's like the creature let us know that he

574
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.160
was here also in the same area. I do have

575
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.640
a grainy picture on my trail camera and this was

576
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.720
where the hollerings come from, and it's just a big

577
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:58.480
blob of fur, but I can make out the outline

578
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.680
of the of the all arm and the side of

579
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.839
a body, and it's the arm is just tremendously huge,

580
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.119
and that is where the vocalization came from. So I

581
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.039
put those two together. But it's something that's there. Again,

582
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:18.319
I'll never forget it. And that's why I believe. I

583
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.319
take all the experiences that I've had, the separate ones,

584
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:23.319
and there's got to be something.

585
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.240
There's no way that there's got to be a bigfoot.

586
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.920
That could only been a bigfoot making that vocalization. It

587
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:37.880
was so tremendous, the lung capulsity.

588
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:42.079
Do you think I'm trying to think what could have

589
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.200
made just make that huge noise for a minute. Do

590
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:48.799
you think it may have had something to do with

591
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.480
you doing all that work at that time?

592
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:54.359
Yes, I don't think it.

593
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:59.319
I appreciated this being in its area, and I was

594
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:03.279
working on the cabin, which is just a small cabin, simple,

595
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.799
but I had been working on it a few days

596
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.360
and pretty much had it was in the dry and

597
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:13.440
we'd been working on the inside of it, and it

598
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:18.679
was working late into them night but it was more

599
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:23.480
of a I would say, a territorial type. It was

600
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.079
not afraid to let us know that he was there,

601
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.000
and I would not have been surprised if it had

602
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.360
come on down the closer if we had stayed, but

603
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:36.719
we left immediately because I did not want to face

604
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.599
any creature that.

605
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:42.599
With that sound. It was angry.

606
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.880
You mentioned that you've heard the singing again after that.

607
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.480
Is this at night or random times in the day

608
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.320
or at night?

609
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.079
It's usually late at night back up on the mountain. Now,

610
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.760
the Penalty Trail, which is an extension of the Appalachian Trail,

611
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.920
runs along the ridge up here at the back of

612
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.719
the mountain, back behind me, and we would hear it

613
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.039
back up in that area late late at night when

614
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.920
there would know bit which is not a human sound,

615
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.239
but it's when there would be no one on that let.

616
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:18.960
You trail.

617
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.480
Would When you're saying late at night, do you mean

618
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.280
around like midnight or even later, like around two or

619
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:32.960
three round two three in the mornings sometime that yeah,

620
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.760
oh beer, oh boy, that is very interesting. Have you

621
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.920
ever been able to get a recording of that singing

622
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.280
at all?

623
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:48.000
I tried one night I heard the singing and the

624
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.480
time I got to my phone and get the recording on,

625
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.800
I didn't get it on the phone, which it.

626
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:55.760
Was so far away it was I.

627
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:57.960
Don't know if it would be if it would picked

628
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.639
up or not. But this is say it gets the

629
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.920
cowdies going. Sure, it's like it triggers them.

630
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.559
You mentioned that you have a photo off of a

631
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.400
game cam. Is that anything that you might be able

632
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.239
to share? It sounds like it'd be interesting to be

633
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.039
able to see.

634
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.119
Yeah, I'm sure I can sing it to you.

635
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.119
Cool, thank you. I'd love to take a look at it.

636
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.920
It's just one of these days someone is going to

637
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:31.199
get the one photo that is just gonna change it.

638
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.880
So if someone brings it up, I always ask for sure, Harry,

639
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:40.199
I gotta ask you. Do you have any thoughts as

640
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:44.880
to I guess you actually you did get a pretty

641
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.039
good sighting based on what you saw. Do you think

642
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.880
when we're talking about bigfoot, we're talking about a large

643
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.079
ape type creature or maybe something that's more human.

644
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.199
I wouldn't I don't know.

645
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.159
Deciding that I had was so quick that I wasn't

646
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.639
close enough, But it would have to have an intelligence

647
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:13.400
level pretty high to not be seen and to stay hidden,

648
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.400
but by choice.

649
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:15.920
I would say, I don't think it.

650
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:21.280
I think it's intelligence level is as high as a human.

651
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:26.480
Probably they're smart creatures, especially when they're in their own environment.

652
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:29.719
I have thought about getting out and maybe hunting them,

653
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.920
hunting up on the sides of the ridge, but I'm

654
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:35.480
not a young man anymore, and I don't travel as

655
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.320
good as they used to, and it would be difficult

656
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:43.119
to traverse those laurel patches up through there. I was

657
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.559
just wondering if someone might come through here and do

658
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:50.360
enough walking that they could finally get a picture of one.

659
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:52.000
It makes me wonder.

660
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.800
I totally understand. I think that's part of what this

661
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.800
might take, is just get enough people out there in

662
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.360
certain areas and maybe we'll get a picture someday or

663
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:09.920
some video. But they are extremely elusive and very smart.

664
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:15.079
I agree with you on that, I think so. But

665
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.159
like I say, I'm not afraid anymore.

666
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:19.400
Now.

667
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:24.320
If I heard that loud vocalization, I might be afraid,

668
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:29.880
But living here, I figure it's accepted because I've not

669
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:33.119
heard when I had any confrontations that had every chance

670
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:36.599
in the world. If it wanted to bother us, it could.

671
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.559
But I believe it wants to live in peace and

672
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.480
be left alone.

673
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:42.280
I really wouldn't want to see one while I was

674
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:42.639
out there.

675
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.559
I would not want to shoot one, only if I

676
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:48.800
thought I had to at a self defense.

677
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:50.360
Right.

678
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:55.440
Well, Harry, thank you, Thank you so much for reaching

679
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:59.039
out and for sharing what you've experienced over the years.

680
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:03.480
It's definitely it's a very important conversation, if only for

681
00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:09.079
the fact of there's another part of the country where

682
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.880
there's this singing being heard. So thank you for sharing that.

683
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.760
I appreciate you coming on the show tonight.

684
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.079
I'm enjoyed it very much and you're welcome.

685
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:21.599
If you ever do have anything else happen, feel free

686
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:25.280
to reach out and I would love to catch up

687
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:26.199
at a later time.

688
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:29.920
Okay, I will thank you very much. Jar them out.

689
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.880
