Steven's a listener that reached out to me through voicemail, which you can find the link for that down in the show notes for the episode. If you want to leave a voicemail as well, which is always fun to get, and he's wanting to share a few things that have happened over the years. Steven, Welcome to the show. How are you doing, sir?

1:04 Very good, Jeremia, I appreciate you calling me. Absolutely, call me back. You know, we were talking for a few minutes before this, and I mean, we are going back to the seventies, so there's a lot of things to share and want to make sure that you have the time to share it. So I'm going to go ahead and pass things right over to you. Feel free to take us back when you first started getting into this whole bigfoot thing to begin with, Stephen. Okay, I'm about almost seventy two now, and back in nineteen sixty eight, it was fifteen years old and my dad took me and my friend in Woodmand Valley. We were at the Colora Springs area, took us down to the city auditorium and we watched the Patterson Gimblin film.

1:59 I don't know what the thing was called then, but everybody refers to as a Patterson Gimmel film now. And that was in sixty eight. I guess this a year after the film came out, and man was to me, that was such a real, realistic film on the man. There is no way this is faked. This is way too this is way too real to be faked. I don't think anybody could put it acting. And everything else that goes with this just way too realistic. I totally believe this all the way, you know. So that was my first uh, I guess I was hooks from that. I was very into you know, Bigfoot, and I had no idea I was going to have my own experiences.

2:45 And four years later, in nineteen seventy two, as far as I can figure, it's just out of high school, a friend of mine from high school a couple of stupid punch, you know, and we had I had, let's go find a place of plants some season by the end of the summer that we want to have some free plants, you know. So we went to the back of the valley. I lived in Woodland Valleys at the foothills of Colorado Springs, right just from south of the Air Force County property, and there's a convent up there that was the only thing up there. They got a bunch of houses up there now, but back then the convent was the only thing up very back of the foothills there. So he parked his car on a dirt road just up from the convent. We walked up a creek bed and we were just scouting out the place for a nice damp place where we might throw a few seeds down, you know. And and we didn't get in there more than one or two minutes. And there was an area next to the creek bed and we only have to we only made up about fifty years one hundred feet in lo and behold there was We both saw them about the same time. I counted them, and I still remember the number. I counted ten bigfoot tracks.

4:18 And man, we were checking these bigfoot tracks. Now. We couldn't believe it, you know. And I put my foot down there bigger than my foot easily, and I don't remember exactly how more longer they were, exactly how wider they were, but they were bigger than my foot. I have a size twelve foot. They were bigger than my feet were. And their bare feet, their ten toes, bare feet, and way bigger than my feet were. And we weren't there from us look at the footprints main for the first three or four minutes. And we were talking, and uh, I guess something up of the foothills just above us, about three or four hundred feet into the woods, the tree line area, I guess probably heard us talking and it let out this thing let out the loudest, high pitched shriek. And that's the only way I can describe that was the words I put together back then, out of got how I'm going to describe this shriek to people or this noise to people. That was the words that fitted the best and the best word wise I could come up with, was high pitched shriek. And it lasted probably four or five seconds and super loud, and to me, it sounded very threatening, you know, and

5:51 I thought, I told James, I said, I said, that is what just made these tracks. That's a that was a big foot we just heard. And you said yes, I'm like yeah, and I believe we were. They prompted, uh, exit out of there. You know. It was pretty uh, pretty bizarre and I never heard anything like that in my life ever. And it was super loud and I can't even duplicate it. It was a high It was called I just termed as a high pitched shriek about the last about four or five seconds, and it sounded like it's mad for us being in the neighborhood, like get out of here, you know, get out, get out of my neighborhood. And so we got in his car and left and we never went back up there again. Nineteen eighty seven I was moved out to Missouri. Then in eighty three I moved out to Missouri. And in eighty seven I met a girl the name is Kathy. We were on my motorcycle cruise around a winery winery country between Augusta, Missouri and Defiance, Missouri. There's a bunch of wineries and stuff, and we were about midway through there.

7:15 And we midway through between Augusta and Defiance, the Missouri River gets real close to the Highway ninety four, and I said, well, let's let's get off. Let's just park the motorcycle on the shoulder. I told her, I'll just all we got to do is walk over this levee and then Missouri River is right there, and okay, let's let's walk. So we parked the bike and walked over the levee and we were down down there probably ten minutes. After a while, I I got separated from Murphy ten or twenty feet and she said, she says, all of a sudden, she says, bigfoot tracks. And I say, I said, yeah, right, Because you know, I was a believer, but I thought that the odds that were actually seeing a big foot tracks are probably slimmed. I said, yeah, right, she said no, come here, look and okay, So I went over there, and sure enough they saw three, three big butt tracks.

8:26 And these wereked like the tracks I saw in Colorado at the base of the mountains, they were five toed, and there these tracks were four toed. They had three small toes and the big toe jotted out to i'd say about a seventy degree angle to the left. Well, I remember looking distinctly at the right foot. I remember three tracks. I came over with their left anta rights, but I do remember that there were three of them, and I do remember distinctly the right foot I was looking at. Any analy I said, man, I got to analyze these things the best I can. So I'm describing. But so we didn't have a camera or anything like that with this aback in eighty seven, you now had nothing to take pictures of it. God, the best I can do is just scrutinized these things the best I can, so I can describe them the best I can. And I put my foot down next to the right foot, and I had a size twall motorcycle boot on and it was like two inches longer than my boot and around two inches wider than my boot. And there were four toes that had three small toes and the like I said, and the big toe jetted off to the side, almost a ninety gree ankle, I say, about a seventy gree ankle to the side. I think chimpanzees and eight speeeds are similar to that, aren't they? I think they are correct? And so that was Yeah, it was shaped.

9:58 So I guess like a chin pans the right foot because that that toad jetted off to the side very distinctly made your angle off to the side. And so then we scrutini I see thing and talked. We we got to so this is somebody we can't be the only people will see this. You know, we'd have to go to somebody's house to make a phone call, or you know, we don't know anybody out here. We have to we have to go to borrow somebody's phone. Who who would even call the sheriff college here? Do we even call? And it's getting plus, it's getting started to get dusk out. I had a half hour drive to take her back to her alse alonew Loan Dell about thirty miles south, and uh, we're we're gonna have to go, Pa.

10:56 So we're gonna said, we're probably gonna be on with a see this, And they're right next to the right, next to the water line. Who you know, these things will probably be gone by tomorrow. And I live I live thirty miles from here and the other direction from her house. So we just decided, well, I guess we're the only ones that are going to be able to see this. And we had we had to leave and I had to take her home. Oh yeah, right now that there's a Lobbyty power plant just up for Ever, about two to three miles I'd say, I'd say about two miles up Forever. There's a lobby town called Labberty and there's a power plant right there. And just recently last summer I heard I heard on I think some big put channel that that some fishermen that were fit at the Labberty power plant saw bigfoots I saw bigfoot a big foot. Bigfoot site is reported by a fisherman at the Lab's fishing by the Labbty power plant. I thought, man alive, that's that's only two miles up river from where I saw on the other side of the river for where I saw these big foot tracks back in eighty seven. This is just last year. They saw some fishermen sells some bigfoot tracks by the Lavity power plant,

12:29 just like two miles up river, across the river from tracks in eighty seven. So they're still they're still in that area, and they've got a big faction where I saw those three tracks. They put it now, put a boat ramp in there, and they got a klondike. They got a big park they made it in that same area called the Klondike, Klondike Park, State Park or something or other. It's a pretty neat park and I drove there there once or twice on mores cycle. But yeah, there was nothing there when when my girlfriend I saw these princes, just nothing but some farmers road that went along the river back to his field. I think it's the only thing that was there. But they still have some sidings in that same area. There's a lot and lots of societies next to the Missouri River. As a pree, I've got some more things to tell you coming up on about the Missouri River farther upore Fyre where I live.

13:34 But let's see from that point. At that time I was living Let's see, that was nineteen ninety. No, it's not there yet, nineteen ninety Okay. So before I moved down the Robert Shaw nineteen ninety, I was still living in Saint Charles area, and I started dating a girl named Donna, and we were we were We took a ride in the same area as Night Highway ninety four and this is a and we went to as Weldon Spring Conservation Area. We took the motorcycle into came in from the top. It's a farther down. They got a parking lot that's a kind of a trail up to the top. But I came in from a different area and it's called Weldon Spring Conservation Area. And anyhow, we came upon a dead deer next to the trail at the top of the trail, and we shut the bike off and got off and stretched her legs and looked at the deer. And I was looking for looking for a gunshot wounders. I don't see your blood anymore.

15:04 Big for society, who will be right back after these messages. Must be on the other side. But I think back on it, I was saying at that time some hunter must have got it. Well, I'm thinking back, this is in the middle of this is in the middle of summer. There wasn't even honey season then, and I saw no blood on it. And all I can tell you is I, while we were standing there looking at I got the most feeling of gloom and doom. You know. That was why I termed it. I've heard I've heard other people talk about a feeling of dread, and I said, those words are perfect. They absolutely felt the way I was feeling.

16:04 To describe the way I was feeling. When I was standing there, it was a dark area, all kind of a dark shade by all the trees, and I don't think there was a sound in the woods, except except for some gunshots. You could hear the firing range about a mile or two away, and other than that there it was just not a sound. And I just got a feeling I'm standing with something very bad around me and something I felt. It's feeling a danger. There's danger around me. And I didn't say anything to my girlfriend, and I wish I would have because she probably would have felt it felt the same way. And I think we left in about within the next five minutes. I think it was at the end of the day, towards the end of the I don't know where we went after that, but we left there, and I don't remember what we did after that. But I didn't see anything, but I didn't smell anything. But I've had an awful feeling around me. That was a very very unsettling feeling that came od me standing there looking at that deer.

17:21 Now I look back on it, you know, since there's no blood or nothing, I didn't scrutinize the structure. Well, it wasn't any flies on it. It looked like a fresh killed wouldn't any flies and smell it look like it's freshly killed. Though maybe now you hear about nowadays about you know, bigfoot breaking deer's necks. Maybe it was just just had his neck broken and we came upon, you know that soon after it happened, and then big poot went inside the trees fifty feet and while we were standing there looking at it. You know, that's that's maybe a big scary feeling that I was getting lost in in there. Now. Between nineteen ninety six in two thousand and five, I moved down to nineteen ninety six, I moved to General roberts Field. I had a lot of weird things happened, but I didn't back then, I didn't.

18:17 I didn't relate them to bigfoot stuff. Maybe I thought about a little bit. But I heard it all kinds of things at nighttime. I had my window open, just a screen at nighttime, just man, I'd hear all kinds of stuff, especially mainly you know, tree frogs and the cave did and stuff like that as a riot of noise. And sometimes I'd hear what people refer to now as a group, and I thought, what is that noise? That all making that noise? I heard a lot of nighttime and I I can pretty much just imitate them. And it always was in a three and the people call the moose. Now that's pretty much what it sounded like.

19:09 Is sounded like woo whoo whoop, just like that. Three of them every time I do three of them, and it would be a lot of bed be across the street where a pond is why the cattle drink out of and got across the street. Had a bunch of cattle as a fenced in area and Barbara fence and there are ponds and another pond there. He had two big ponds over there and the big lake behind me. There was all kinds of water around me. And as only only about one and a half mile from the Merrimack Merrimack River, which is I hear a lot of a lot of sightings down there, and in fact the Robertsville State Park just five miles north of the off the highway in and highway oh and uh. And also recently last year I had one sighting down in Loandell, the other on the other side of three miles south of me where I lived there, so I was smacked the day betweens as they saw it, and five miles north of me by people, and three miles south of being loan Dell where she lived. And and also besides of those hoops I here at night during the day, I'd be out of my yard and I would I hear a big whack on the tree or some sound like somebody just hit a tree once. You know, I

20:42 don't know if it was an axe or what they were doing. I thought I didn't make much sense. What's what's you would think if somebody's working on something that woods or doing something hits hit more than one time? What sense is somebody just whacking something something once. You'd think, you know, I've never heard somebody just when they're working the yard whatever, just sure would whack and that's it. And I thought that's odd. Who would hit something once and that's it. I heard that like three or four different times, three or three different Asians, and I thought it was strange. But I never really were dwelled on it.

21:23 And until recently, you know, and some of the Bigfoot networks like Here's I'll hear people talking about, you know, the tree knocks and stuff like that. I thought, well, that's probably what I was hearing. Back then, I didn't think about it. They had to hat to do with big Foot. There's not even a house in that area. This's just woods out there. Some of us were walking through the woods and doing something in the woods, I don't know where, just to hit something once, and I thought, there's just somebody doing that, you know, and didn't relate it to Bigfoot back then. But I think about, you know, after this in the last few years, that well, that's what I was here in the woods, and I was thought it was somebody, dude, who knows what, just hitting something once. It's probably a tree knocker. They put tree knock.

22:13 Sometimes there'd be a ton of coyotes out there and make a big ruckus. And I do believe I'd hear some of those whoops about the same time. And I hear a bunch of coyotes just creating. God, sound like five or tenemen. Sounded like some of the mighty been in a fight or something. But a huge coyote ruckus out there out in the same woods. I never saw them in the daytime, but I hear them at nighttime. And I heard a big, you know, a bunch of coyote, big ruck us at nighttime several times in the woods just north of me. After that, I moved well last they moved back briefly in two thousand and five to two thousand eleven to take care of my parents. They're getting all the best help take care of them. And two in twenty eleven, I came back. While I was there six years, let's see, in two thousand and five to that eleven six years, I had no, you know, no no big foot experiences. I did take did go take my dad dropped me off with my bicycle and went down the trail out of the mountains. Down to the river and stuff, and had no experiences. No experiences then, and moved back in to moved back to Missouri in twenty eleven, moved to Herman, very nice, very nice town.

23:42 I lived there for eleven years until two ty twenty two. I had no experiences in Herman, so I was surprised about that. There's I had woods behind me, but there was Missoissouri rivers over the top of the hill and down about a mile north of me, so I think any kind of activity might have been something down there, but they didn't really make it crossed the other side. Right now, they're right next to a buy Highway one hundred there, So no experience is there. And I moved to move to Marthasville or I live now. And in twenty twenty three I rented I thought, well, there was a Kadie trail real close to me, and three miles up the trail they got a place shree can runt electric bikes, and man, that'd be cool. Let me let me go rent electric bike and I can go up and down the KDI trail. I've never been on the KDI trail, so I ran electric bike and came down to I went back about three miles to Marthasville, close to where I lived, and turned around, went back past it, past the past the electric bike round. I was in

25:15 an ottle town called piers Peers, who I rented the bike, and then I went to westbound. West bound, I'd say another five to seven miles you get to the town called tree Lore, and then three miles west of tree Lore up you come to right where, right where the Missouri River comes super close to Highway ninety four is right there where the where the Katie Trail crosses Highway ninety four. And that's why I thought, well, let me let me go mom here, let me go across one hundred and fifty feet across the street and look at the river for fifteen minutes. So I went across the river to stand there for fifteen minutes looking beautiful. River flow was really pretty little spot and a broken down boat ramp that's not used anymore. Fact they get a chain there, don't. I don't know. I've never seen anybody put in there. It's pretty steep and pretty bad boat ramps, and so nobody really puts in there. Maybe occasionally. So I, uh, after about fifteen minutes Okay, let's let's cross the street, get on the Cave trail, go back down. I gotta get I gotta back back by two hours. I got

26:47 about twenty minutes left and we can turn around and go back. And so I got back on the Cadi trail. But I just came up fifteen minutes earlier, and I was down on the Candie trail about one hundred and fifty feet to two hundred feet, and I, I gosh, came into the most futrid smell. It smelled like. Something dead, feces, lots of other things thrown in there, and maybe some pond water scum.

27:30 It was just a rank mixture of smells that I've never smelled before. And man, alive, I came through your fifteen minutes ago and there was nothing here consent wise, and now fifteen minutes later, it is strong here. I thought, I immediately, I commediately knew what it had to be. I never smelling like that before. Man, there has been a big foot. Probably saw me come up the trail on the bike. He's just watching the trail because people ride on it. He's up on the bluffs here looking down. He saw me come and walked to the river, and he's probably just curious, and he came down, got close to the close to the Katie trail, has been probably watching me the whole time, and now he's he saw me coming back, and he just went into the woodsards twenty thirty feet is so dim she couldn't you couldn't hardly see anything. He looked in twenty or thirty feet and his scent is still strong right here. That's where I was smelling. He probably came down and was watching me for the last fifteen minutes. And now I'm coming back into a stink on the way back out, and I knew. I knew right away what it was. I knew right away, just stinker knew what it was. That's a that's a stinky. That's a stinky bigfoot that's been watching me the whole time. I just came down and

29:02 and I thought, you want to stop us, turn around and see if you can see him, then, Uh, use your brain, keep on going or they might find you in pieces, you know. So I just kept on going. And Uh, it would have been nice seeing it, but I like to see him from a distance, you know, not close up. I was by myself, you know, I been. I felt. I felt like I was in danger, fight you know, try to find find him and see him. I thought, that's good. I just I just kept on going, use your brain, keep on going. And never saw one though, never saw him. I believe that's what it was. So return bike. I think that's all I can remember for twenty twenty three and then twenty twenty four. Last summer, I had all kinds of things happened in my yard. Yeah, gosh, I had screams. Uh, screams like it's almost sounded like a woman being murdered or something. Uh, sound like a woman screaming in the woods uh to the west of me.

30:20 And in fact, and one time I heard it sound like something being killed in my right by my back window. I hear lots of stuff right by my back window I had. Unfortunately I don't have any lights on that side. I can't even see if I looked out my window. If there's anything. Big for a society, who will be right back after these messages? Yah, One time I heard it sounds like somebody being killed, some animal being murdered, sounding as being his life last ten seconds of life, sound like he went the part and long behold there was there. Happened to be a cop sitting watching traffic a tenth of a mile from mer from me, and in thirty seconds he goes pulling.

31:23 It comes pulling into my driveway and gets out of his car, and he heard the whole thing too, And he was that pulled the splashlight. I could walk into my driveway shine all over my yard, and he shined all over my yard and stuff for a few minutes. And five minutes after he got there, a second sheriff car pulled in next to his, and he walked down and they talked to each other for ten minutes and nothing, no other noise. I they talked for ten minutes, and finally both of them us at the same time. I went out the next morning to see if I could find any fur or hair or anything, any kind of evidence of a struggle or anything like that. I found nothing.

32:25 I don't know if it grab something and carried it off or what. I don't know what he even had, unless possibly some you know, I was I thought it was a bigfoot that might have carried a deer off or something. Uh, I don't know what what it was killing. And uh I've heard I've heard I've heard a whistle once and it was you know, it's you know, it sounds perfect like a bird whistle. But it happened like four in the morning, and I thought, man, birds don't whistle until the sun starts coming up. This is like two hours before the sun stars come up. And it sounds just like this is three times this one, this one too. You know the size of the books I used to hear three, I heard the whistle. Three you like.

33:20 I try to whistle now, and we in a whistle hopefully you like, whistle pretty good? Let me see if I can do it. It sounds just like this. Yeah I didn't. They try again, just like that. I pictured the sound that you did in my head before you did it, because it's the same exact one we would hear out in Oregon this summer when they were doing mimicry. That's wild man who really Oh yeah. Wow, wow, Yeah, that's what I thought. This is. I said, this is way too early for a bird. We doing this and it's right by my back when and they did all this stuff on my back window. They knew that was where I slept. They could see the you know, the light going every now and then at nighttime and the last night they last, the last light they see go out of my bedroom and it's dark on that side too, and they'd always be by my bedroom. Oh yeah, yeah.

34:16 And the last one was really phenomenal, uh man alive. I got woke up about three thirty in the morning, and it happened at four thirty. Also three thirty in the morning one night. It was so loud as something big went by my back window. Wheezy, and I mean wheezy. It sounded horribly every time it inhaled just like that, you know, just wheezing like that. I could hear it coming about thirty seconds, yeah, at a lower pitch, you know, and then they get louder and louder, and it got to my bedroom and it was loud, wheezing, and then it kept walking and it disappeared after about thirty seconds, you know, as it got you know, one hundred feet away from me. And uh. And I looked at my all the clock. It was like three thirty morning and and then then then I was I think I was probably still awake from that before thirty morning came back from the other direction, you know, you know, like that, just wheezing. Uh. You could hear it coming, and it got louder and louder, and got right by next but by my back window again and kept then it started getting quieter and quieter. Quired About thirty seconds later it

35:47 disappeared as the walk you know, walked off. And that was pretty pretty amazing too, uh, pretty bizarre. I got, uh, let's see, let me see, Oh I can back. I got a couple of little notes I put on the back here. I forgot to mention while I was while I was living back in Colorado Springs in between two thousand and five twenty eleven, to help my parents out, I had another motorcycle there and I went back to look at the exact area where this where I hurt sell these footprints, and I want to see if I can find this exact same valley creek bed that I went in. And man, this place is, boy, this place was built the hell kind of houses built up there now a little area called Paragrin residential area, big dollar houses up there right at the base of the mountains.

36:53 And oh man, this is so built up. They've got a house sitting right right and some of the right right the backyard is this guy's backyard is where I saw this thing. He's put ten foot prints. So I drive down. I'm riding that driving down in the cul de sac and I'm looking at his house. Kind is right behind this house, and the guy had to me out in his front yard. He's looking at me like, you know, he's getting suspicious. And me, You're like, what are you looking at my house for? List? And now those guy's getting suspicious. Hold me least explain what I'm doing. You know. I stopped my bike. I said, I got it. I got a story for you. And she says, okay, what do you got? So I shut my bike off and pick my helmet off, and I was telling him about my friend and I were back before there's any houses up here and everything, and you know, ten the ten bigfoot prince. I saw herd the right about where your backyard, where your backyard is right now. He was, he's pretty interested to hear that, And I thought, well, you'd probably like to hear that. He say, he's had ten foot bigfoot instance in your backyard at one time, back in nineteen seventy two. He was pretty he was kind of glad to hear this. All that was, Lets thought, lets you know about that. I went back and let the homeowner know what I saw in the backyard before there was eight houses there. Yeah, let's see. Okay, I got one more little thing, and I'm gonna let you

38:24 decide what you think it is. I don't know what the heck did this in my In the other side of my yard were not the dark side, but the other side where I porch lights on all night. On the other side, I was doing yard work, gosh, for about two or three hours, and I get, I get, I get into the yard work and Paul weave and gather sticks, take the sticks to the burner pile and all this and that, and I guess so wound up with what I'm doing, and I forget to even get a drink of water, and I was sweating. That was just like either two or two or three hours, and I was so thirsty. I had like a couple of sticks to I brought back in and I went to one area that I hadn't been at the whole time, and I was but I was so thirsty and couldn't waitin to get a drink of water and get the shower and get I'm worried. I had siggars and toys, ninety stuff on me and everything else. So I wanted to get a couple of drinks of water and glass of water, and they get in the shower, and the last part I saw my yard there was a a proximately I didn't measure it off. There was looked like approximately a ten foot wide, perfect circle of flattened grass.

39:43 There wasn't one stick of grass sticking up is flatten a perfect ten foot circle that. I don't know how that was done. This must have done what must have been done last night? Uh? And then so I thought, shoot, I'm just so I got to get something to drink and I got to get in the shower, so I couldn't I I also, I was so dead tired. I wasn't thinking, well did I could have taken a picture of idiot? Why didn't you take a picture of that? I thought? I remember, I remember, I was so dead tired. I had to get a drink water, I had to get in the shower. And by the time I got a shower, all I could do was lay my recliner all day for the rest. I was totally worn out.

40:35 I got a picture of a picture taken slip my mind. And the next morning I woke out on the doll shit, and you go out see if there's see, if there's a see if that things they are. I got out there, all man, two thirds of grasses growing up already, can hardly tell her this that hardly doesn't even look like a good circle anymore. Well, it must have been a up of deer that did that. But how the heck did they make a perfect ten foot wise circle? I mean, it was perfect. There's no way a deers haphatherly could make a ten foot white circle. Lay in there at nighttime, you know, and just just happens. A month or two, guys, I heard of somebody channel on the big one of the bigfoot channels. Might have been years, I don't know.

41:28 Some guy said that he found a perfect circle in his grass. You're kidding me. That's exactly what I saw several months ago, last the end of the last summer. He saw it too, saw one too like that. I wonder if he was having big foot problems or some kind of bigfoot experiences he said he saw. You gotta be kidding me. That's exactly what I found in my yard. And so that is strange. I don't know if you can give me any ideas what you think it was. Unless I had a little mini ufo laying in my backyard over night with a ten foot base. You know, I had no idea how that got there. That that's very strange how that got there. That's very strange that you had to or somebody had a somebody gave the same description what they found in their yard of having bigfoot problems, and the same same talked about they said, they said, I remember you said, sound it looked like somebody walked around round and around around the circles. Mine, mine, it was perfect circle, but it was a whole, you know, the whole from one side or the other was totally flatten.

42:49 The grass. There wasn't any there wasn't one thing sticking up, and there was a perfect circle that totally flattened. I don't know how in the heck that happened. And your eye, your your idea is as good as mine. I don't know what the heck it could have been. So that's about all the stories I've got. I haven't had any. I haven't had anything happened to me since last summer. It seems like they migrated. They go to where there's a bunch of caves far they're up the river. Maybe they go up there with warmer in the winter time and they kind of make their dwelling somewhere else. I hear there's a lot of caves up that I missed. Look at Fine and here there's some caves up the between Marthasville and Peers where I rounded that bike off the Katy trail. They said you have to take some small trail off the Kady Trail to go find a cave.

43:40 Shoot not to go do that sometime, but never got up there and get out to ride a bike again and see what they got up there. That's all. That's all of my experiences from start to finish. Now I can say that they haven't had anything. I haven't. I haven't experienced anything in the last since the end of summer. Nothing since then. Okay, I gotta I gotta get some lights put up in my backyard. Yeah, Steven, you backyard is what I should do. Absolutely, You've had some really interesting things happen over the years. Uh. That ten foot circle is extremely interesting.

44:25 Yeah, I know it, especially with some of another guy that reported the exact same thing several months after I saw I think reported like two months ago. I saw this thing in the end of summer, and uh he reported about oh, three or four months after I saw my circle. I don't remember what stage. I wish I would have wrote that down when you would you know the title of fight he was on. But yeah, somebody else report the same thing, maybe some of your friends. I've heard might have been on one of your friends. I don't know what channel I heard it on. I wish I would have wrote it down.

45:05 Big for society will be right back after these messages. You know, I'm trying to think the circle thing was the last you know, I'm trying to think of a logical explanation for that, and you know, to be honest, one is escaping. Mean. If people can think of something, you know, feel free to share in the comments. But there's not one really coming to mind right away. What would cause a ten foot sounds like a ten foot diameter or is it?

45:57 Would you say ten foot across the circle? I'm joking a little bit. Who but who knows that? You know, it could have been some some kind of uf O that with a ten foot base on the land in in my yard that night you know who knows what? This is not much more far fetch than bag puts nowadays. You know people, but they may be something weird like that happened to I don't know what how you get explained? There was nothing else but a ten foot flattened circle, perfect circle, not once sticker grass is sticking up. There was flat as could be for ten ten perfect tent put circle. And I don't know what caused that beyond me? Who knows.

46:49 We're being vague about the town that that took place. Incorrect. This is Martha'sville. Martha'sville, Missouri, Okay, gotcha? One one miles of flash from from my house is where the Missouri River is one mile a crow one mile across forty seven through the farmers fields as where it comes to Shrek Creek and then and then then the little then there's some more farmers fields and there's the Missouri River. Absolutely and uh you know that's the thing, you know, Shret Creek is a be a good place for for bigfoots to go fishing, because that's that's water that's backed up from the Missouri River. That big catfish and everything will swim right out of the Missouri River up the Sharret Creek and then it's only it's only like you know, or four foot deep. They're probably very visible.

47:48 You know, they would be good fishing grounds. I bet, I bet there are good fishing grounds for it. Big could go on to try to fish in the Shrek Creek, which they probably have found us might be a good place to spot them, you know, they they might have been. That might have been one of the places. Why why they hang around in my area because there's Shrek Creek is right there backed up from the Missouri Rivers. Probably good fishing plum. Oh yeah, absolutely. You want to definitely, uh make sure there's a good food source around where you're having the sightings and that helps, you know, verify it because they do need a lot of food in their areas for sure.

48:30 The areas that you've been talking about in Missouri is do those areas do you find that Bigfoot has talked about in those areas or there are a lot of other things that happen. I think people are just tight lipped about that, including myself. Uh, you know, that's that's nice talking to your your program, I feel free to say what you know. You know a lot of people thinking that you're to wacko. You know, I'm one out of five, will you know? Uh, So I don't don't tell people around this town. I don't think I told anybody in this town experience. Oh yeah, yeah, I did get. I did forget something. Uh. The guy that used to own this this house, he he had a nice flower garden made and and I've been keeping it up really nice. And he stops here. He stops back to see his friends and to see his house once here, and he comes and visits my business, me in the house and see how his garden's doing and stuff.

49:32 He came over a couple of ways with him last time, and and we're talking on on my on my deck, my porch, and and I said, man, you already I told the passed over I saw. I said he wouldn't leave some of the noises I get at nighttime. And uh and that's all I told at this point. And the thing the first thing out of his mouth, he says, screams. I said, yes, screams. You know I've ever a woman screaming two or three different times. And uh, I've got really good neighbors. I know it wasn't you know, streaming from one of the houses. I know, darn well. It sounded like from from the woods. So yeah, you know, yeah screams, you know. But like I say, he he he must have. He said, oh you know, he said, Oh, it's just those are pride just foxes. Man, what I I said, what I heard, We weren't foxes. These were powerful streams with hundreds of feet in the woods away from me. Is strongest hacking through these through my house.

50:52 I got a good, well made house. I could hear these screams very well through my walls. Man, a few hundred feet away. Uh, they're They're way more powerful than some kind of a fox would have. I never heard a fox scream in my life. I don't know what they sound like. But these these were these were a little teeny fox making these noises I heard. So that's that's the last little information I forgot to tell you about what the The owner of this house he used to have he used to hear screams too, but he was stout there foxes. So that's that's that.

51:35 That's really interesting. An interesting experiment might be if you go on YouTube and just search for like fox screams and just listen to a few recorded and I'm guessing what you'll hear is doesn't even come close to what you're hearing behind your house. I can't imagine, because I know how big something I heard sounded as far A little twenty five thirty pounds box is not going to make these enormous screams several feet up in the woods. Uh from me. You know, I've seen my my backyards. How four little baby foxes my backyard though they're they're run around having a good time.

52:17 Never saw the mommy around anywhere, but therefore them together, I think she was them and I never heard any never heard one of make a noise. Though. You know, there's there's so much bigfoot activity down there in Missouri, and not just on you know, my channel, but also another great channel is Miguel at Sasquatch Theory. He's pretty much the go to for Missouri bigfoot things going on. And uh, do you have any thoughts, Steven as to why there's so much bigfoot activity specifically down in southern Missouri. I, well, there's a lot.

53:02 Of water, and they they've got to be close to a lot of water. There's like I say, yes, they got Shrek Creek here, they got the Missouri River a mile from my back door north southbound of me. Missouri River is just a mile. As the crow flies one mile south of me, I can see them. I can see the Shrek Creek tree line, trees line of Shrek Creek. I can see the Missouri River, tree line of the Missouri River past those. Yeah, it's the flus. Sometimes the farmers, well the farmers have corn going all over the place.

53:44 They have soybeans going all over the place in the summertime, not to mention the Shrek Creek and the Missouri River. There'd be all kinds of stuff for Bigfoot to eat out here east during the summertime. Maybe that's why they moved away when after the gone, you know, for the winter. Maybe they go somewhere else where they can eat better or I don't know what they where they go, but it seems like they only come around here like in the summertime. I found it interesting that you had some things happen over by Weldon's Spring. That is an area that has come up a few times on the show. And I'm sure there's got to be other people out there that have had experiences in that that whole conservation area and that haven't spoken up about them yet, but just a really weird area. I'm glad you brought that area up.

54:42 Yeah, there's a parking lot. Every time I used to that's kind of out of my way where I live now. But why I used to drive my motorcycle from Saint Charles down to the Liner. As I go past that parking lot all the time, there'd be a lot of cars down our parks, walking up, walking up that trail. And I think the on the other side of the street is real close to the Missouri River. I think there might even trail that walks down to the Missouri River too. But this, yeah, this the Weldon Springs, not springs, but Weldon Spring Conservation Area they've got. I looked at my maps so I could be specific where it was.

55:26 My maps, there's two two areas of weld and Spring Conservation Area. Ones on the north side of Highway D, ones on the south side of Highway D. I was in the one on the south side of Highway D. That's that's where that's where the parking lot comes from. A comes from from the bottom, but I came in from the top. Came in. I came in, took my motorcycle past the high school that's up there, and uh a little trail that I've ended up ended up at the top of that trail. It comes from well the Spring conservation area. I ended up in their property, deep in their property according to my mapus. That's why that's exactly where I was. I was deep in the middle of that conservation, ay, where I saw that dead deer and had those bad, bad feelings come over a while I was there. I should have told my girlfriend what I was feeling, see if she felt the same way.

56:24 I bet she was too. Yeah, I guess that's. That would have been extremely interesting. Yeah. I just want to say thank you for sharing what you've experienced over the year. Steve. And I know you had said before we started that this is one of the first times that you've really shared some of these events. Correct, this is this is this is this is the first time I shared all of my events. I shared very few with anybody except for my brother and uh maybe a couple of girls I knew from some wineries or something that you know then that I just kind of you know, you say a lot of things a strangers sometimes that you're just shooting the breeze with you know, and fact I go to these, I go to these like Montelle Winery a lot, and that is just that's that's a hop skipping and jump from from from the big put tracks. I saw Missouri River and in Klondike Park, and I figured they must have a lot of a lot of trash they throw off from a winery. I wonder, I bet this would be a prime place for a trash diver, like a big but, you know, to come up and try to get in their trash things. I don't talk to the management up there. Sometimes they have

57:55 any weird things about big things, you know, things getting in their trash at night and if they possibly might have seen something like that, you know. But that's that's that'd be a perfect dining place for a Bigfoot at nighttime and getting into trash dumpsters. I bet left over pizza and things like that. You know. Yeah, that's that's a good idea. I mean, that's kind of a good lead there. It'd be interesting if you're able to contact if you find anything. But Stephen, do you feel it's important to actually get your experiences out there to share with a larger audience. Yeah, I just you know, I'm glad I got this out to a whole lot of people because I it's something I don't want to die with. I want people to know this stuff.

58:43 You know. I'm seventy two years old. I don't have a lot of years left I would. I want people to hear all these stories that I've had to happen to me by bigfoots experiences in my life before I am not able to tell anybody, you know, I don't want to die with all these neat stories that I've had in my life a big point without somebody people are hearing about him first, you know. I feel I feel it finally good to get it all out and say all the all the secrets I've been keeping in that I haven't told, you know. And it's like I said, I don't think my brother has even heard about all these So my brother, luckily he's a good brother. He believes me, you know, and he knows I don't lie, and so uh, that's about all. He's been mainly one of the few I've told most of this stuff too. There might be a couple of things on here I left out, but I can't remember, well, I don't know. That's about it.

59:41 But yeah, I'm I'm glad to I'm glad to let people know that the that they that they aren't for sure already from all from all evidence and videos and pictures and everything else about Bakefoot. Here is here some more examples of some of those had experiences. I didn't. Unfortunately, I had no visual sightings yet. But I've had close to him, you know, and close to them and no visuals yet. But uh, I know they're I know, I know they're out there and I've been close to them before. Uh.
