00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.080
Welcome to the Bigfoot Society. In
this episode, I talked to Tim about

2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.359
the strange things that have been going
on and his property near at Lake Cushman,

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.519
Washington, and also talk to Lizzie
and Steven about the Bigfoot related experiences

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.239
they've had in northern New York in
the Black Hills of South Dakota. If

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.800
you've experienced something similar or have more
information about cryptids in the same areas,

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.399
please reach out to me immediately after
this episode at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.280
com. Hello, Hey, Tim, I didn't have it plugged in.

8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.560
That'll do it, Okay, all
good, So all good. I'm gonna

9
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.560
wait a minute. Okay, we
hear them, we get plugging it and

10
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.439
works. Okay. I'll let you
start from the beginning, and I apologize

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.600
again. Go right ahead, Tim, Sure, sure, no problem.

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.560
So basically, we have a property. It's a camping property off grid on

13
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:03.320
the Olympic Peninsula, and this property
we've been experiencing all kinds of things,

14
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:11.120
basically audio things from what I assumed
for a long time were possibly sasquatch,

15
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:19.319
and I got confirmation last weekend.
In the past, we've heard howls,

16
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:26.040
roars, wood knocks, I had
last summer, I was cooking oysters over

17
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.000
the fire and had the pine cones
thrown at me. And again this is

18
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.280
this property borders a green belt that
is an unbroken forest all the way into

19
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:41.719
Olympic National Park. So you can
imagine. We have bear scat My brothers

20
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:48.319
seen two cougars around. It's wild. It's a wild area. So last

21
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.599
week, surprise, we went camping
and there's four to five inches of snow

22
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.519
on the ground. I had no
idea, but we set up camp and

23
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.920
I said, let's go down in
the ravine back there and just kind of

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:07.000
see if we can find some tracks
of whatever's been about. So we get

25
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.520
down there and there's no human boot
tracks at all, but there's weird tracks

26
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:21.400
and they are four inches round,
kind of just like like something has been

27
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.919
punching its fist into the snow.
And followed him for a while deer tracks

28
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:37.080
mixed with these weird like fist bump
tracks, and finally snooped around way off

29
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:49.080
trail and found what can clearly be
an adult bigfoot track with a juvenile print

30
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.039
inside of that track. Really excited. I'd like to share a photo with

31
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:59.680
you to check it out. It's
something I'm really really thrilled about. So

32
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.159
that's that's my story. That's awesome. Thank you for Sharon. Definitely,

33
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.400
do you mind if I ask some
questions and guys, everyone that's listening live,

34
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.960
if you have questions, I mean, this is a live show,

35
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.879
feel free to put them in the
chat. Definitely. So let's see.

36
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:21.919
So you've heard some interesting audio.
Have you recorded any of gotten to record

37
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.520
any of the audio? It's weird. I've I've tried, and two things

38
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.879
happen. Either when I hit record, it's just the playback is gone.

39
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.360
It's it's fuzzy, it's weird.
Or the minute I hit record on audio

40
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:45.360
whatever, the creature is just totally
stops. So so no, fortunately I

41
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.280
haven't. I haven't had the opportunity
to record the audio. But we heard

42
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.759
in February, we camped out there
and we heard a siren howl, which

43
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.639
shocked my girlfriend because she didn't know
she doesn't know about this stuff at all,

44
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.639
so she thought it was a siren
and then it turned into a howl

45
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.800
and then the dogs in the area
started just going berserk. So, along

46
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.360
with wood knocks, the fourth of
July was a really wild time last year

47
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.839
because there were two firework shows on
the Hood Canal, which is about six

48
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:25.240
miles away, and so our area
is up above the foothills above Hood Canal,

49
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.399
so all kinds of wildlife came into
the area. We heard coyotes and

50
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:38.319
just all kinds of weird noises,
which we would have recorded a lot of

51
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.199
it. But that's when I got
the pine cone thrown at me too.

52
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.720
Have you reached out to anyone in
your area of the Olympic Peninsula, like

53
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.920
any researchers or anyone like that,
about what you've experienced so far? Now

54
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.439
you are the first. Okay,
wow, well thank you for reaching out.

55
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.360
So you're seeing the Hood Canal area, Yeah, it's Lake Cushman.

56
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.480
It's above the above the Hood Canal
on the foot about six hundred feet elevation.

57
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.040
Yeah, all right, well I
know that. I think the Olympic

58
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.519
Project guys are on the east side
or the west side of Olympic National Park.

59
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.720
But man, there's a question from
the chat here that's interesting, Vincent

60
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.120
says. He's kind of laughing a
little bit. He says, why would

61
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.439
you follow him? But it's a
solid question though, like what what would

62
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.319
happen like if you're following the tracks, and there's actually something like did you

63
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.160
ever think about what you would do
in that situation if you had come across

64
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:46.079
an actual creature? Yeah, I
guess I can be naive sometimes and overly

65
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.600
excited. I don't know, I
really don't know what would happen. But

66
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.279
they're there. There are two hundred
yards from where we camp, where we

67
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.360
set up our kent, So it's
definitely something I'm I'm milling over right now.

68
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.720
I think that based on what I've
learned about their behavior, they're as

69
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.680
curious as we are, and as
long as you don't kind of cross boundaries

70
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.839
with them, I think, Well, I don't know, I don't know.

71
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.319
It's wild, it's really wild.
Well it's a weird thing because there

72
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.160
hasn't been one that we can actually
study yet right in captivity or anything like

73
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:32.920
that. So it's pretty much like
there's no guidebook to fund. I want

74
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.800
to look up something real quick.
Have you looked to see if there are

75
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:43.480
other sightings that have taken place around
the same area anywhere? Oh? Yeah,

76
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.480
Oh yeah, it's on the bf
RO. There are literally two or

77
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:53.279
three reports there. So Dow Creek
is the area that that that we have

78
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:59.959
a property in and that's actually been
mentioned on Sasquatch chronicles and a Flash of

79
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:08.560
Beauty, so they're there. It's
definitely not uncommon, ok that area,

80
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.439
So share, I say hotspot,
but absolutely. I mean, well,

81
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.720
if it's in multiple places like that, and you're saying Lake Cushman, I

82
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.560
see Dow Creek here and looking up
Mason County, Washington real quick on BFROO,

83
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:28.879
Yeah, I can see multiple campers
at Lake Cushman. Vocalization heard near

84
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.839
Lake Cushman. It's a Lake Cushman
is all over the place on this page.

85
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.480
So I mean that alone tells me, yeah, you you probably have

86
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.120
something going on. Have you ever
have you thought of maybe setting up like

87
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.839
a game camera or some kind of
like audio recorder your property. Yeah,

88
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.800
I think we'll set one of those
up at the perimeter of our property.

89
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.160
I definitely don't want to set one
up in the green belt where we found

90
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:03.399
the prince because I just feel like
there's some kind of violation of something territorially

91
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.920
about doing that. And I do
have to share. I touched the print,

92
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:16.319
the print itself, it had such
a graceful shape to it, and

93
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.600
there it's unmistakably not a human print. Because that ridge that we have on

94
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.439
the side the outer part of our
foot, that ridge wasn't there. It

95
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:31.319
was it was an arch that matches
the the mid tarsal break that's talked about.

96
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.639
And to feel that, I mean, I've never I've never found prints

97
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.320
before till till now, and the
experience was just it was so thrilling.

98
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.200
If there's somewhere I can send this
photo to you, I definitely like to

99
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.799
share it. Yes, absolutely,
If you could send it to Big for

100
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.960
Society at gmail dot com, I'd
love to take a look at it.

101
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.200
Sure. Sure, And someone had
pointed out were you able to put something

102
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.159
next to the footprint in order for
scale of any size like a dollar?

103
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.559
Yeah? Okay, yeah yeah.
And there are several pictures of several different

104
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.440
prints. I put my hand next
to the one that's the juvenile within the

105
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.080
adult print. I just put my
hand next to it. Another one,

106
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.240
I've got my keys next to it. Another one I've got a chapstick.

107
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.720
Kind of just no brainer. You
might as well put something there for scale,

108
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.200
right, Absolutely, well, yeah
I would. I would ask Tim

109
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.279
if you could definitely keep me up
to date with what's going on with that

110
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.360
area, because I'm going to guess
there's going to be more things that happen,

111
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:46.720
especially if there's been multiple events in
that area reported in multiple places.

112
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.440
Sasquatch chronicles, Flash of Beauty,
b FRO and now you Tim definitely reach

113
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.879
out whenever you need to. Big
for Society at gmail dot com. But

114
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.679
thank you so much for for calling
in and hopefully this leads to something else,

115
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.519
so I'll keep you updated. We're
going out there this weekend again.

116
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.799
So but thanks for doing a great
show, great job, and thanks for

117
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.639
having me. Awesome great talking to
you. Tim, have a good one,

118
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.799
Thanks a lot. All right,
bye, all right, bick Fitt

119
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.279
Sight, You've got the privilege of
talking to Steven and Lizzie. They're a

120
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.720
married couple that reached out to me
from South Dakota. They've had some really

121
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.039
interesting Bigfoot related things happen over the
years. So I'm going to go ahead

122
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.799
and give the floor right over to
you guys. Yeah, I was just

123
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.240
getting done at work. I work
night shifts. We had a stub at

124
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.240
the time, and I was just
driving home. I want to say,

125
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.799
was let's about three o'clock in the
morning and just driving down one of the

126
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.480
back roads by a bunch of farms
and lots of trees and a couple of

127
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.840
scattered houses, and just saw something
out in the distance over on the left

128
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.440
side and started slowing down because there's
a lot of deer in that area,

129
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.759
and it was much larger than a
deer. At first, I thought it

130
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.960
was just a big black bear,
but it was definitely on two lakes,

131
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.480
and it came right up to the
road. I came to a stop,

132
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.480
and it's about three or four steps, and it went all the way across

133
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.360
the road, and on the right
side of the road was a little hill

134
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:48.159
that went up to a house and
some trees and bushes and right across and

135
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:56.480
I was just out of sight.
So I sat there for a second,

136
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.000
kind of just in shock and wondering
what it even was. Made it all

137
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.159
the way home, and I got
my wife and our kids, and I

138
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.799
was like, well, let's head
back out there and let's just take a

139
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.039
look at it, take a look
at the area and see if we can't

140
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.759
see anything. Yeah, I knew
it was serious, because you never freak

141
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.039
out over anything like I've seen you
around bears and mountain lions, and you

142
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.200
called me when I was sleeping,
You're pretty panicked and that was not that

143
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:35.240
was not your norm at all.
And when we drove out there, you

144
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.440
didn't want me to open the car
doors or anything. And that's when I

145
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.679
knew it was like really serious,
like we could see everything pushed down like

146
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.519
something heavy walked through and I wanted
to get out to see if like a

147
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.679
fine prince, but you were a
little freaked out. You were first fit

148
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.799
there still. Yeah, I remember
rolling down the window to try to get

149
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.000
a good look at you, even
that kind of freak out a little bit.

150
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.600
That was in New York Potsdam or
was it one of the fact was

151
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.320
one of the back that's Potsdam,
back towards Serment. Okay, so around

152
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.960
the Potsdam, New York area,
And how long ago was was this?

153
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.919
It's when we were living in North
Fork thirteen around there, Yeah, it's

154
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:33.679
about twenty thirteen. Yeah, because
we we heard a lot of big foot

155
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.879
stories and stuff from friends in that
area, but we didn't believe any of

156
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.080
them. We thought they were just
bear stories, to be honest. There

157
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.039
was a lot of bears in the
area. So this area that you had

158
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.639
this sighting, and this is northern
northern New York way up there right Yeah,

159
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.000
light up by the Canadian border.
Yeah, you could see Canada quite

160
00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:01.879
often across the Saint Marks River.
Now, when you saw the creature cross

161
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.879
in front of you in your car, how far away from the car would

162
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:13.000
you say it was, Stephen,
I don't want to say between You're twenty

163
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:20.240
five thirty feet from the front.
Sure, did you get a good enough

164
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.080
look to notice any details, anything
weird about the creature, maybe hair color

165
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.480
or hair length, or how that
had looked at any certain way. I

166
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.279
didn't really get much of a look
from the head. It was definitely tall,

167
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.679
darker hair, I want to say, like a dark brown almost black

168
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:52.480
hair, was like maybe two inches
long three inches. Were you able to

169
00:14:52.519 --> 00:15:00.639
see anything about the arms at all? They came down just below the ways.

170
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.679
And if you were to guess,
like how tall the bigfoot or the

171
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:15.679
creature that you saw was, how
tall would you estimate it? It was

172
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:22.039
definitely taller than our suvy around feet
that area that you had the sighting.

173
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.000
Sometimes people after they have a sighting, they'll start like talking around to different

174
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.639
people or seeing have there been other
reports in the same area? Was that

175
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:39.080
anything that you did after that?
I did? Okay, I was absolutely

176
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.320
fascinated, so I really dug into
the whole topic. I had multiple friends

177
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.519
say that they saw things across the
road, but I don't have permission to

178
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.440
say their names or anything. Oh
yeah, sure, but almost the same

179
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.679
exact area. One of my very
close friends said they saw the same thing.

180
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.000
You had a co wor catch something
on a trail camera that was really

181
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.600
a pie that was at least I
was fur though. Yeah, they were

182
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.960
thinking it possibly was a big foot
because it was way taller than a bear.

183
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.679
Whatever it was. Yeah, they
looked closer towards Potsdamn, the area

184
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.240
his drill camera is about ten miles
from that area. Is potsdam actually north

185
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:27.519
of the Adirondacks or is it technically
in the Adirondacks. It's like on the

186
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.360
border, like right above it in
the north, but it is very close.

187
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.200
Would you say half an hour at
most, I'm not even sure.

188
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.440
If i'd say half an hour from
the Adirondacks, that's more twenty minutes.

189
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.399
The thing I like about this particular
one is that you don't hear this in

190
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480
a lot of them. Is that, well, one, you got your

191
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:56.000
family and you brought your family back, but not everyone actually goes back to

192
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.799
check it out that that's really cool
that you guys did that. I think

193
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.360
he was just trying to make sense
of it, and I was just too

194
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.599
curious. I remember questioning, like, why didn't you get a video?

195
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.359
Wed didn't you get a picture?
And like I just froze. I couldn't

196
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.759
think my phone was my pocket while
driving, like just looking at it and

197
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.359
watching it as it goes across those
fast like only a couple of steps was

198
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:30.400
gone. And was it fast in
the fact that it could make long steps

199
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.200
and cover a lot of territory quickly
or was it actually moving fast both?

200
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:44.519
It was almost like the jogging speed. It's really interesting. Was this your

201
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:49.200
first introduction to things related to cryptids
and bigfoot and all that? Or had

202
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.039
there been things before that? Was
it? Yeah? Yeah, that's not

203
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.480
the first for me. Yeah.
I always watched like monster quests and things

204
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:08.200
like that. But he really wasn't
interested. Okay, So ironically, the

205
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:12.640
one who wasn't really into it is
the one that saw and Lizzie's like,

206
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.279
what do you do? And I'm
training for this. I think it was

207
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.680
mostly my fault that we went back
to be honest, I wanted to go

208
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.839
find tracks and stuff and he I
don't know, like, I think you

209
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.319
were willing to go back, but
I don't think you were thrilled about it.

210
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.880
That's really interesting that that's an area
I actually haven't talked to anyone from

211
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.279
really northern New York, so I'll
be curious to see if anyone jumps in

212
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.960
the comments about that area. But
anything else that we wanted to add to

213
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.759
that particular sighting we had in the
Potsdam area, I don't think so.

214
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.839
Just we had other people say,
hey, don't tell anybody that we've seen

215
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.880
things too. Pretty much that people
had once they realized you saw something,

216
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.480
they're like, Okay, I'll tell
my story, but don't say my name

217
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.279
type of thing. Oh yeah,
sure, definitely. I know how that

218
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.319
is half the stories I get I
can can't even say on the podcast,

219
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.680
to be honest. Yeah, they
don't even want to be anonymous in the

220
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.880
small chance that someone can track them
down. It's wild but totally understandable.

221
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.279
Lizzie, do you mind sharing what
you were able to experience on your side?

222
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.799
Yeah? For my story. Quite
a few years later, we've moved

223
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:44.000
to South Dakota. Since then,
we're in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

224
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.319
And if you know anything about this
area, it's very drastically different from

225
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:56.720
the rest of the state. It's
very heavily wooded. I they call it

226
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:03.920
hills. I guess it's not mountains. It's very hilly. But for thousands

227
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:11.079
of years they've talked about Sasquatch or
Sasquatch beings being in this area. So

228
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:18.839
you see Sasquatch statues everywhere, especially
in Keystone where I work. So I'm

229
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.599
driving down sixteen on the way Okay
to work. I would say it was

230
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.519
this time of year. Last year, it was because I was leaving very

231
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.559
early to go clean up the restaurant
to open it for the season because tourist

232
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.759
destination. It's right outside of Mount
Rushmore. And as I'm driving down the

233
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:40.680
road, there's this one hill that
has like no trees on it because of

234
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.319
a forest fire. And I see
at the very top ledge this very large

235
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.079
bigfoot silhouette and it was sunrise,
and so it was like all pink in

236
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.920
the sky. So I look over. I'm like, oh, dolls,

237
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.559
Chance Art must have put a statue
up there. That's really cool. But

238
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.359
as I was coming close to that
hill, it started moving. It turned

239
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.720
and started to walk away. I
was like no, and I almost slammed

240
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.519
on my brakes, but I realized
I was like five cars behind him,

241
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:17.640
Like that could cause an accident.
So I started just driving to work and

242
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.799
I was rationalizing the whole time.
I'm like, it was probably just the

243
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:26.359
animatronic because we're outside of a tourist
town and every single time I've passed a

244
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:33.359
hill there's nothing on it and it's
it was time warous. But what got

245
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:41.240
my attention was throughout this tourist season
last year, I had multiple guests come

246
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.799
to the restaurant and they would try
to rationalize. I saw something. I

247
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.400
heard something it reminded me of like
those big Foot shows. It sounded like

248
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:55.680
an ape's I found basically a tepee
of logs. I had more than one

249
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.759
person tell me about this airbnb,
this Stata and they found this tepee of

250
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:04.960
way off in the woods behind their
Airbnb and had a bunch of bones all

251
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.240
around it. Apparently, when you
hear one story, you kind of almost

252
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.720
brush it off. But when you
hear multiple people, totally unrelated, totally

253
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.359
different months tell you these stories,
you start listening a little harder. I

254
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.519
remember there was more than one person, like, oh, can you rationalize

255
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.359
this noise for me? And they
would describe it to me like, is

256
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.119
that a buffalo? Is that an
elk? Is there's a bear? And

257
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.839
I would have to tell them no, that kind of sounds like Bigfoot,

258
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.960
And it would go one extreme or
the other. They'd either be like,

259
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.920
oh my gosh, I thought it
was crazy, or no, you're crazy.

260
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.160
That's not a big Foot. You're
supposed to tell me it's this or

261
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:48.799
that. But I've had multiple especially
my native friends, tell me that Bigfoot

262
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.480
is the guardian of the Black Hills, that he is there, that they've

263
00:22:52.519 --> 00:23:00.799
had sightings, and I just it's
been very interesting. Which as a last

264
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:10.680
season, how tall would you estimate
that what you saw up on that hill

265
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:18.079
might have done? Probably close to
it, but he was he or she.

266
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.440
It was a lot bigger than any
It was a lot taller than anybody

267
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.440
I've seen. We have this one
gentleman, he's like seven to two,

268
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:34.240
and he it was way taller than
him. That's one of the reasons I

269
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.920
also thought it was a statue,
to be honest, because it was just

270
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.559
it was massive. I don't know, probably about eight foot. It sounds

271
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.799
like you're starting to be known as
kind of the bigfoot person in your area.

272
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.920
People are starting to come to you, maybe to a degree, definitely.

273
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.799
I keep trying to talk to my
one friend to come and talk to

274
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.640
you, because he's definitely His family
is definitely more so then me. Because

275
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.400
we both worked at Rushmore for a
bit, and any of these tourist positions

276
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.519
we've had tour guiding, We've had
a lot of people just come up to

277
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.559
us and try to rationalize things they
saw here. Okay, yeah, your

278
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.880
tour guides at the Mount Rushmore area. So we both worked at Rushmore.

279
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.640
That's actually what brought us to South
Dakota. And then after that I worked

280
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:30.240
as a tour guide and now I
help run a restaurant. It's all right

281
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:37.759
outside of not Rushmore, like walking
distance. That's awesome. Oh man,

282
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:45.240
the stories you must hear must be
crazy. I mean yeah, they're also

283
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:51.640
similar too. It's that's what gets
my attention is they're so similar, just

284
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.519
the monkey sounds that they're like,
this doesn't make sense. There's no monkeys

285
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.200
here, right. I'm like,
well, it's not supposed to be.

286
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.400
But have you noticed any similarities,
Like do they ever describe about how they

287
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:11.680
look, are their similarities that keep
coming out about the description. The physical

288
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:18.000
description of it, I would say
around eight foot tall and dark. A

289
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.759
lot of people don't see, they
just hear. There's a few people that

290
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.400
I've heard that have seen things.
I don't know. I know one.

291
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.960
I'm still trying to contact my one
friend to tell you their side. Because

292
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.920
the whole family has a lot of
stories, like they've seen juveniles and things

293
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.240
like that. I don't know.
I haven't got permission to tell their stories,

294
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.160
so I don't know how they would
feel about that. Yeah, we

295
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.960
definitely don't want to do that.
Yeah, but as a whole, like

296
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:55.559
there's medicine men that like pray to
him here. They think of him as

297
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:00.680
a brother, They think of him
as another tribe, like a tribe is

298
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:07.720
very important to That's really interesting.
Does that whole area South Dakota, North

299
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.200
Dakota, Montana. Is there quite
a bit of Bigfoot influence in that area?

300
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:17.240
I would definitely say so, like
just the Black Hills in general,

301
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.839
it goes from South Dakota to Wyoming. I don't does some of the touch

302
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.240
I don't think any of it.
I don't think it touches the rest of

303
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.640
them. That's like it goes from
Devil's Tower to like Rushmore area. It's

304
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.599
like the link. There's always been
stories here, even before the Lakota came

305
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.079
here. The Mundane said that Sasquatch
came from Spirit Mound, which is over

306
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.839
by Vermilion, and then they were
sent over to the Black Hills to protect

307
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:53.039
it. No, and even the
likes multiple tribes. I think them as

308
00:26:53.039 --> 00:27:00.079
the guardian of the Black Hills.
Is Spirit Mound? Is that like a

309
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.440
Native American mound type setup? Yeah? Yeah, it's a Native American mound.

310
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:10.160
I believe it's in ver Million.
There's a lot of stories associated with

311
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:15.039
it. Lewis and Clark even visited
it. They were told that little people

312
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.720
live at it, so they wanted
to go see the little people, and

313
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.440
they didn't see anything. It's pretty
much the gist of the Lewis and Clark

314
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.839
story. But there was long story
short. There was like a fight and

315
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:34.359
apparently this ancient tribe wanted to ask
different spirits to come and help them with

316
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:40.599
their fight, and they didn't,
but they released two spirits. One was

317
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.799
the Sasquatch and one was the little
people. And the little people stayed near

318
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.759
a Spirit mound and the Sasquatch went
towards the Black Hills, the area that's

319
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.559
you're in with the Black Hills.
Is it just bigfoot? That's that's weird.

320
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:59.720
There are there are other weird things
that you've noticed during your times.

321
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.960
I've personally, I work in a
haunted restaurant. I'll be honest. It's

322
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:10.079
very very haunted, and we see
orbs, we feel things. The place

323
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.920
has been saged multiple times. But
there's a lot of stories in the area.

324
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:23.000
There's the Keystone where Wolf there's one
of my friends was saying that they

325
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.359
saw a little person, but it
didn't see much of it. It was

326
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.319
just something dark and little and it
ran across with two legs, so it

327
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:38.759
caught their eye. But again I
don't have permission to really say that story,

328
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.759
so I don't want to go into
too much details. Yeah. Yeah,

329
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:51.799
but there's definitely it's a very spiritual
area, like we believe that this

330
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.839
like the natives from multiple tribes,
they believe this area is basically the Garden

331
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:03.319
of Eden really, so yeah,
they believe this is where creations started,

332
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:11.319
like their creation gods are basically or
Rushmore is. It was originally called six

333
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.279
Grandfather Mountain and they stand for north, south, east west, above the

334
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:23.359
sky and below the earth. And
it's a very very sacred area. Pretty

335
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:30.519
Much everything you look at or touch
there's a story behind it. So there's

336
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:40.039
a lot of very interesting stories,
especially from the tribes people. So we

337
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:45.039
built a huge monument on an extremely
sacred area. That's what you're saying,

338
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.920
Yes, okay, that's that's a
that's a part of history class. I

339
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:56.440
didn't I didn't quite get that.
That sounds like, I guess we won't

340
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.880
we won't touch that one. But
you guys, come on, what do

341
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:07.880
you thinking? Sorry, that's really
like ironic, Like I got a lot

342
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.519
to get into my history. That's
wild. I'm blown away by that fact.

343
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:18.720
Yeah, the land is still technically
owned by the Lakotas. It's okay,

344
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.640
refuse to take any money for what
was supposed to be their purchase place.

345
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:27.400
M Yeah, well they can't even
own the lawn or trim the trees

346
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:34.279
at Rushmore without the elders permission.
It's wow, kind of that's wild.

347
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:38.720
You talked about the Keystone werewolf for
a little bit. Is that something that

348
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:44.680
you can maybe share a little bit
about or yeah, I could share a

349
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.359
little bit. It's hard to find
anything on the topic. But the gist

350
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:56.599
of the story is there's a mine, Ingersoll mine, and some miners went

351
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.440
to I think they were I don't
know if it was gold or courts.

352
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.000
I want to say it was courts. They were trying to get from the

353
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:10.559
mine, and it was the early
nineteen hundreds, I believe, and they

354
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:15.519
were just brutally murdered by supposedly this
werewolf. And the story is kind of

355
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.240
hung with the town, but it's
really hard to find a lot on it.

356
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.640
Pretty much all that you hear is
from the locals they passed down the

357
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:30.880
story. But some people claim to
see basically a dog man or were wolf

358
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:37.440
in the area, and a lot
of people think that it's basically a skin

359
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.359
walker. If not a skinwalker,
I think it was like thirty people or

360
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:48.359
something like that. It's been a
while since I've heard the story, but

361
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:56.319
yeah, they were I have seen
it. No that were murdered in the

362
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.720
I want to say it was like
thirty people that were murdered in the mind

363
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:06.799
and they were like torn to shreds
by sums of things. But it's kind

364
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.400
of one of those stories you just
it's all they word of mouth. It's

365
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:16.240
really really hard to find any stories
on it. But supposedly there's an article

366
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:21.680
in a newspaper somewhere, but I
haven't been able to locate it. I

367
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:28.039
just know people claim to hear what
they believe is the Keystone were wolf and

368
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:35.480
they won't walk in certain areas near
the mine because of it. I heard

369
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:40.079
of people see something around Custom State
Park as well, same description, like

370
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:47.079
a big wolfman of some sort.
I don't know how to describe it.

371
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:53.240
It's more people are afraid, so
they leave immediately. They don't stick around

372
00:32:53.319 --> 00:33:00.359
to see details or to find out
more. That one definitely scares people a

373
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:06.640
lot more than Sasquatch. It's hard
to say because there's not supposed to be

374
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.039
wolves in this area, but some
people try to claim that there are.

375
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.559
Have you found that you've heard a
few things from reports around the area.

376
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:25.200
Is there a certain area inside where
you are? Where? Did reports tend

377
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.599
to keep coming from this one area
or are they just kind of spread all

378
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.400
over the place in the Black Hills. No, the ones that I hear

379
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:39.279
on a regular basis, they're definitely
in Keystone. They mainly come from an

380
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:44.039
airbnb, which I'm guessing it's the
one that's towards her mostly, But to

381
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:49.359
be honest, I don't know.
I just know it's near Keystone because I've

382
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:55.200
heard multiple stories. Mostly they say
they heard something, they smelt something that

383
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:01.440
smelt rotten. They found this tpee
in the woods that was made out of

384
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:07.159
logs that were really huge, that
there's bones scattered around it. But a

385
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.800
lot of them aren't visual sites.
There's only been a few where I've heard

386
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:19.800
I saw something and it didn't make
sense, or my native friends that are

387
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.840
very adamant, like this is what
I saw, This is what I hear

388
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.360
this night and that night. This
is what I hear almost every night.

389
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:34.400
But when it comes to the tourists, the monkey noises is the ones that

390
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.760
they're like, well, what animal
makes a noise that sounds like a monkey?

391
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:43.519
Can you tell me what that is
because we're starting to think it's bigfoot,

392
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:45.679
And I usually have to tell them, well, I think it is.

393
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:51.119
They don't like that answer. Yeah, I'm sure they don't. Definitely,

394
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.559
they probably just want to explain it
away. But when they say it's

395
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:59.239
like a monkey noise, have you
ever asked like, can you be a

396
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.719
little bit more civic, like what
type of monkey noise? You're hearing or

397
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:09.760
I hear a lot of chatter like
that chatter that chimpanzees do, and gorillas.

398
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.039
I hear about that one a lot, and almost like the hooping and

399
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:22.440
hollering. I hear about that quite
often. Recent stuff was probably less fall

400
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:29.039
because we run from spring to fall
every year and I'm just getting the place

401
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:37.480
cleaned up and getting back into it. So now you've got in the Keystone

402
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.719
Hermosa area, you've got sasquatch sightings, but you've also have some dog man

403
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.039
things around the area as well.
Yeah, is there anything else weird about

404
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.480
that area or kind of out of
the ordinary. People think it's very haunted,

405
00:35:54.639 --> 00:36:00.800
and I didn't believe it until I
started working there. I work out

406
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:08.239
a golden mine and it's from the
early nineteen hundreds, and we get people

407
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.880
all the time to see ghosts in
the mine. I work at the restaurant

408
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:17.119
end of it, and we've had
like before I started working there, people

409
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:23.079
would say that furniture was thrown and
that's when they started staging the place.

410
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:36.000
I've only felt presences in that place
or seen shadows that there's a well underneath

411
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:42.440
the restaurant. They had this huge
metal bars over it that were really heavy

412
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:47.079
and welded on and just vanished one
morning. They don't know what happened to

413
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:52.239
it. They've had ghosts hunters in
there and they would catch orbs all over

414
00:36:52.280 --> 00:37:00.000
the place in certain areas. I
know for myself, I at first I

415
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.719
was like, oh we whenever something
go wrong, I'm like, oh,

416
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:08.000
it's the ghost. But there was
this one year where this fridge would not

417
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:12.440
stop freezing all the beers and it
would direct me crazy. I thought there

418
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.280
was an employee messing around with it. So I'm like, okay, this

419
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:21.840
is my job now. Nobody touched
this, and every day I would come

420
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.400
in and they would be frozen.
I'm like, I know nobody else is

421
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.880
touching this because I'm the only one
restocking it. I'm the only one touching

422
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:30.880
anything in here. This is weird. So I joked, I'm like,

423
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.639
okay, well, I guess the
ghost did it. It was like a

424
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:37.960
day later. Our camera guy's like, hey, you got to see these

425
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:42.400
orbs that I caught on the camera. And sure enough, the orb goes

426
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:47.280
in the free refrigerator where the dial
is to turn it down, and then

427
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:53.920
it goes out the window. And
we saw this on multiple days he was

428
00:37:53.960 --> 00:38:00.440
bringing up all the videos. It
was pretty intense. But we've had guests

429
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.400
tell us they see these three figures
in the mind itself, especially kids.

430
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.159
They'll come up and they'll describe these
three people. It's like, I think

431
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:15.480
it's a two gentlemen and then there's
a lady, and they describe them the

432
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.440
same way each time. But I
don't work with that end very often.

433
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.320
I thought. I hear from a
couple of people the stories. They're like,

434
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.920
Hey, I guess what I heard
from a guest today. But it's

435
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:34.280
more just things being weirdly missing or
broken or seeing something very physical. It's

436
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:42.000
really weird when you talk to enough
people and you start to I don't know,

437
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:46.000
I'm a lot of people think that
there are certain areas of the country

438
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:53.239
where you've got like just weird stuff
happening right or window areas. Man.

439
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.280
I just it feels like this area
like it's got some weird stuff going on.

440
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.360
For sure. If you talk about
it from the natives point of view,

441
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:09.079
this place is so sacred they wouldn't
even live here. They would just

442
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:15.679
visit and do ceremonies here. It's
totally different than now. But I think

443
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:21.159
there's a reason for it. There's
a reason they didn't want to live in

444
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.280
the Black Hills. They just wanted
to be on the outskirts of it and

445
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:30.920
visit it whenever they needed to.
It's some weird stuff for sure. That's

446
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.199
a great point. You know,
I agree with you if if they weren't

447
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:40.440
even like we're not even gonna put
a house up, and now we're going

448
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:45.840
and putting restaurants up and putting up
monuments and stuff. Yeah, we're probably

449
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:52.519
gonna have some weird stuff happen.
So let's say someone was to visit the

450
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:58.480
Black Hills, what would you say
are the coolest, Like if you were

451
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:04.519
to do a paranormal type weekend,
what would be some cool stuff that you

452
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:09.519
could visit in that area. Definitely
the mine, big thunder gold mine,

453
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.119
for sure. They used to I
don't know if they're doing it this year,

454
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:19.320
but in the past they used to
have like nightly walks where you could

455
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.920
go in with the lantern and stuff. Can you think of any other places,

456
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.599
like I know there's a lot of
caves in the area, a lot

457
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:30.519
of stories. Oh, Thunderbird,
that's another one that you hear about,

458
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.599
not very often, but there's a
lot of petroc lifts of it too.

459
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:39.639
In certain areas, especially towards Formosa
Ingersall Mine, there's a lot of like

460
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:47.000
old gold mines and quartz mines.
A lot of them are attached with very

461
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.920
speaky stories, especially ghosts. I
think you can't go into Ingersoll anymore,

462
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:58.519
but I no. On an Iron
Mountain road, there's supposed to be ahanded

463
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.719
town over there on some paths.
I'm still trying to get my friends,

464
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.800
because he's got a lot more stories
than me and his whole family does.

465
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.320
I'm still trying to convince him well, yeah, definitely if he does get

466
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:16.960
to the point where he would like
to chat about that, more than welcome

467
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:22.159
to reach out, and anyone listening
to feel free to send me an email

468
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:28.119

But Lizzie and Steven has been really fun

469
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.400
chatting with you guys tonight about an
area I didn't really know a lot about,

470
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:36.559
