9
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.200
the show. All right, Bigfoot
Society. You've got the privilege of talking

10
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.560
to an old friend, Joe.
He's been on the podcast a few times.

11
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.520
He's down there in Mississippi, sometimes
known as the Sasquatch Whisper. He's

12
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.759
been into some crazy situations over the
years. But I was just catching up

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.200
with him the other night and he
told me about something that happened to him

14
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.799
in Missouri, and I said,
man, Joe, we got to talk

15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.599
about it. So Joe, how
are you doing? My friend? I'm

16
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.519
doing good. I'm getting on the
backside of having pneumonia, but I think

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.680
I'm healthy enough to talk about this
a little while. Yes, sir,

18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.040
definitely, and we'll be sending prayers
and good vibes and hopefully you'll be getting

19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.359
over that soon enough. But did
you have the pneumonia when you were going

20
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.200
through this what we're about to talk
about. No, I okay. I

21
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:32.280
had a global biopsy done the thirty
first of May on my lungs and it

22
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.000
turned into a infected aorda and bronchial
pneumonia. Oh dear, So this happened.

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.280
What happened to me? We're going
to talk about the night happened around

24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.120
the end of April. Okay,
Well, yeah, let's let's get right

25
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.680
into it. Joe, you share
with the listeners where we're talking about,

26
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:56.280
where you were and what happened.
Okay. I was in southeast Missouri.

27
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.439
I can't thank of the county,
but it was near Donathan. I was

28
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:07.520
about three four miles north of Highway
wins sixty back in the Mark Twain National

29
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.520
Forest where this happened. It was
a hop skipping to jump from the current

30
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.280
river. I went up there.
My older son has a girlfriend at lives

31
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.840
up that direction, and he promised
her he would take her to her promise

32
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.159
she would come down to his prom
she upheld her into the bargain. Took

33
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.520
him up here for the weekend to
uphold his end of the market. And

34
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.439
so while he was doing his thing, I took the opportunity to camp out

35
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.960
in Mark Twain National Force, like
I've done several times since last October.

36
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.520
I got up here Friday evening,
set up. Did nothing happen Friday evening,

37
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.039
and this is in the same place
I was up there. The first

38
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:00.120
time I was up there, I
got shot at that area, so I

39
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.199
left. The second time I was
up there, did nothing really happen,

40
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.240
so I went back for the third
time. Saturday. I got to know.

41
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.080
I got that feeling that though something
was watching me, and I thought,

42
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.360
this is pretty good. The feeling
of getting the creeks means something is

43
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.039
watching me, and especially if you
don't go away. And this area I

44
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.960
was in was told to me by
some other friends that people in the local

45
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.479
area don't go around there because it's
just a creepy place to be hung around

46
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.400
there Saturday and I did my normal
thing, and I acted like I was

47
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.400
just up our camp and enjoying myself. Wasn't putting up no big vibes for

48
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.520
trying to find the Sasquatch or anything, because I knew they were watching me,

49
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.960
or just because every now and then
you could hear some little breaks back

50
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.960
in the woods. You could hear
shuffling feet, stuff like that. Sunday

51
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.319
afternoon, we'll just push on up
to Sunday. And nothing happened Saturday night.

52
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:08.759
I didn't hear anything walking around,
grunts or anything. Sunday night about

53
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.879
dark. Oh, i'd been I'd
cooked me some phetes and I was eating

54
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.199
them on soft taco shells, and
it was basically fried red and meat with

55
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:26.879
onions and bell pepper in the taco
season. And around I guess there's around

56
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.519
five thirty six o'clock. The sun
had gone down, but it hadn't got

57
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.680
dark yet, and I heard something
coming up through the woods and I sat

58
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:42.560
there and watched it. There was
all five adult males on all fours walked

59
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.240
right up to the edge of my
camp. Now I didn't tell you before,

60
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.439
but when I got there this time, there was a bowed tree or

61
00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:00.160
sapling over where my campfire was,
and there was a broke a limb that

62
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.399
was twisted and pointed straight down at
the ground. And I knew that there

63
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.519
had been sasquatched there since i'd been
there last time for that reason, but

64
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.839
I didn't pay attention to the science. And so when they'll come up,

65
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:25.040
five of them come right up within
forty five fifty feet of my camp site,

66
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.639
and they sat right out and open
set on her on her or backside,

67
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.519
just like grillas do. They were
looking around, they weren't. They

68
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:40.839
weren't vocalizing, they weren't. They
were making it obvious that they weren't watching

69
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.560
me, even though they were watching
me, if that makes sense. And

70
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.720
so well, I sat there a
little while and I talked to them,

71
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:55.000
and they didn't respond. I keep
my eye on them. They didn't circle

72
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.879
me completely around. It was almost
like a half circle. In other words,

73
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.759
I had if I was gonna have
to ruin, the only direction they

74
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:08.279
had free for me was the road
to get out of there. And I

75
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:14.800
did notice that after it got dark, I heard other ones in the woods

76
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.079
around me, and they were running
in circles around my camp. But they

77
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:26.560
stand outside the fire circle, but
you could see the eye shine whenever they

78
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.240
looked at the at the camp,
and they were running, not all in

79
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.839
the same direction. It was chaotic. I couldn't keep up with them.

80
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.519
There was at least four of them, and those five still sat there just

81
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.480
like nothing was going on. So
I sat there and watched them five,

82
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:49.240
and I listened to the other ones, and I kept talking to them five,

83
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.439
but they wouldn't paying no attention to
me. My mights will not have

84
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.279
even been there as far as they
were concerned. But I noticed they were

85
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.319
all males. There. There was
no females and no little and to me

86
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.000
as a hunting party, that's what
I was thinking at the time. Looking

87
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:13.720
back on it, I may have
been right inside their home area and adro

88
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.079
run the females and the littlings off
somewhere safe so they could run me out

89
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.079
of there. That makes more sense
from what they did than if they were

90
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.240
a hunting party. I could have
easily been a missing for one morning.

91
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.040
If you want me to leave,
I'll eave. I no more said that

92
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.519
than about two three minutes later,
this piece of a pine sapling about four

93
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:41.439
inches running six feet long come flying
out of the woods. Looked like somebody

94
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.920
through it like a javelin and it
hit the back of my truck toolbox and

95
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.639
put a big old den in it. There was this big male. He

96
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:57.040
walked between my truck and my fire
and watched me the whole time, never

97
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.720
took his eyes off of me.
And my fire pit was probably five feet

98
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.199
round, so he could reach over
and gat me if he wanted to,

99
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.439
if he wanted to, count kul
on me and slap me on the head.

100
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.639
If you play with matches, eventually
one of them is going to strike,

101
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.319
and if you go out looking for
them, eventually you're going to see

102
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.199
something that's going to be so far
out of what you expected to be that

103
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.600
it will either intrigue you to the
point where you're almost obsessed with it or

104
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.720
will scare you to the point where
you don't want nothing to do with it.

Her and I can get out here,

127
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.440
we can tell our stories. Maybe
there's somebody else out there listening it's too

128
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.759
afraid to tell their story. Maybe
this will give them the courage to come

129
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.440
out. And now it feels so
bad about it. Who cares what anybody's

130
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.360
thinks. I know what I saw, I know what's out there. That's

131
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:37.960
all I care. Please let people
know, Please let them know. If

132
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.320
you ever see one of these things, you need to tell, because if

133
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.879
you don't, then shame on you, you know, shame on you
