00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.919
We're outside the cabin and we could
hear kids playing, like what clearly sounds
2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.160
like kids playing, and so there
are no houses there, so I'm confused
3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.399
still to this day as to what
we were hearing sound like children playing and
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:26.879
yelling and stuff like that in the
woods. Welcome to big Foot Society.
5
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.920
In this episode, we talked to
set the Breedlove, Ohio based filmmaker and
6
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.079
founder of Small Town Monsters. In
this episode, we talk about what happened
7
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.320
during the filming of Land of the
Missing, the upcoming monster Fest, and
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.240
new updates to the big Foot project. Find out this and more on this
9
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.600
week's episode of the big Foot Society
podcast. All Right, Big Society,
10
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.600
You've got the privilege of talking with
an old friend. I believe I could
11
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.359
say old friend. We've chatted for
quite a bit. I've done my longest
12
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.560
interviews with you, so that's true. We had a two hour one back
13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.040
in the day. I think there's
close to three at one point. Mister
14
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.760
Seth Breedlove from Small Town Monsters.
How's it going today, sir, I'm
15
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.359
good. Thank you for talking to
me, because I'm just noticing right now
16
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.319
you've got so many toys in the
background. What's your favorite toy in that
17
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.519
or sorry, action figure? I
should say in that room. No,
18
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.239
you can call them toys, according
he calls them dolls. Her daughter comes
19
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.400
down here to mess with my toys
because she likes to dress them and do
20
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.200
their hair. That's where I'm at
my favorite what do you mean, favorite
21
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.159
line or favorite individual toy? If
the room was on fire and you had
22
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.640
to pick one up and run out
with it so it didn't get burned down.
23
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.400
Tommy keeps his original Optimus Prime g
One in here, and it's so
24
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.840
that would have to be the one
that I saved. Not that he cares,
25
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.240
because he has a much better one
that actually has joints that work and
26
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.479
stuff. But he has a g
One down here that I bought him,
27
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.240
so i'd have to say that.
But I do like that galactus in the
28
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.879
background there, he's three feet tall. That Gen one transformer stuff. Dude.
29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.280
Prior to Big Foot Society, I
used to be big into thrifting and
30
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.800
reselling and all that stuff. That
was my jam. You don't mess around
31
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.599
with that transformer stuff, dude.
That goes for some crazy. That's that's
32
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.199
some good investment stuff right there.
He goes, we have a toy We're
33
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.599
already off the rails. But we
have a toy store. We have a
34
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.800
toy store that's going to happen.
We have a toy store near here called
35
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.199
Toys Time Forgot, which if I
had time, I would totally take you
36
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.479
to when you're up here for the
event. But it's one of the most
37
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.639
famous vintage way stores in the world. Like toy collectors from Japan and stuff
38
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.879
come over here to buy at this
place. But I used to do articles
39
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:08.199
on them for the newspaper. And
we go in there once a week,
40
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.719
usually on Tuesday night, and Tommy
will pick out like one or two g
41
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:20.680
one transformers from their case. That's
our dream. It's like Al's Toy Barn
42
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.439
from Toy Story two, right,
yeah, like crazy stuff. Too quick,
43
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:30.360
gotta go around the horn. That's
a line from Toy Story two numb
44
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.400
Mine. It's like, oh no, no, that's like in the scene
45
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.319
where ham is like hitting the control
keeps passing it. It goes too quick,
46
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.919
gotta go around the horn. For
some reason, every week we repeat
47
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.719
that while we're playing Fortnite, folks, I just lost half of my audience
48
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.319
sets into the Disney picks out there
like Let's forget this guy. I'm out
49
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.759
here, Seth. Let's chat about
what's coming up in thirty days. Man,
50
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.639
there's something that I am psyched for
and I want to make sure that
51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.800
all my listeners know about. Tell
me what's going on with monster Fest in
52
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.360
small town Monsters. Back in twenty
fifteen, we did an event in Minerva
53
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.479
called Minerva Monster Day. We did
it in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen.
54
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:23.680
It was a small town festival,
very much geared around like Bigfoot. We
55
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.040
had Bigfoot speakers and that kind of
stuff, and it was also like embracing
56
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:35.040
the whole small town roots of STM. But we were supposed to do an
57
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.079
event back in twenty seventeen. I
don't know how many people remember this,
58
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.519
but we had announced it, we
had a poster, we had multiple posters,
59
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.480
we had announced Lauren Coleman and Lyon
Blackmurton were speaking. We ended up
60
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.160
canceling it because the town was just
not helping with the event to the extent
61
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.879
that I just walked away. But
from that point on, I always wanted
62
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.560
to do another event like that.
It's something that was much more geared around,
63
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:10.879
like the like pop culture cons that
I enjoy going to but centered around
64
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.199
cryptids. And obviously we have Crypto
Coon in Kentucky every year and they're the
65
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.319
og. They've been doing it for
quite a few I've been at every event
66
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.240
they've done. But as much as
I love crypticon, I have yet to
67
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:30.319
see a true like comic con atmosphere
surrounding encryptids. And so that's that was
68
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.439
the whole impetus for doing this was
like, let's try to like all the
69
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.319
way down until we're going to have
an artist alley and that kind of thing.
70
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.720
Very much is a comic con,
but centat around cryptids, and it
71
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.639
really is also supposed to play to
some of the things that I think are
72
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:56.480
really important to the community and the
the growing popularity of the topic, which
73
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:02.000
is podcasts. I've said before like
I got into this because of podcasts.
74
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.000
I used to do a medical billing
job and I just would sit there and
75
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.279
listen to podcasts all day. And
that's why I'm doing this today. To
76
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.519
me, it's always been really important
to have podcasters representative this kind of stuff,
77
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.360
and typically you guys get left out. I was left out when I
78
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:26.160
did a podcast. I know how
this is, but in terms of importance
79
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.079
to the growth of this these topics, like you guys are at the top.
80
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.879
No one else is doing on a
weekly basis what you're doing in terms
81
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.879
of propagating this subject, and so
I wanted to do. I wanted to
82
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.319
bring in podcasters, which is why
like Astonishing Legends is going to be there,
83
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:54.879
Scott and Forrest and Jim Harold.
Jim is like the godfather. He
84
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.600
would balk at this, but he's
the godfather of cryptic and paranormal podcast to
85
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.519
again, I wanted to create an
event that I would actually want to go
86
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.439
to, and on the record,
I don't like going to these events,
87
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.439
so I wanted to create an event
that I would actually now yeah, And
88
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:20.000
so that's what we're doing. It's
such a cool I when I first heard
89
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.480
of Monster Fest, I was like, oh man, this is awesome.
90
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:30.439
I'm dropping everything and I am getting
my ticket to go. And then Seth
91
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.519
asked me to come out and do
the podcast live, which was even better.
92
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.759
So I appreciate that. I want
to say that publicly, so listeners,
93
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.720
this is just the little plug section
for myself if you want to hear
94
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.959
probably one of the only times that
Big Foot Society will be doing in episode
95
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.079
live. It's gonna be at Monster
Fest, and if you want to hear
96
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:03.800
it with all the ms and the
crazy snaffoos, that's gonna be Monsterfest because
97
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.959
I edit those out. I spend
hours editing every week. But just to
98
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.079
let you know, I will be
interviewing someone live. I'll be interviewing Martin
99
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.800
Groves about his Land between the Lakes
dog Man encounter. It's gonna be awesome.
100
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.839
Dude. What a rad pickup.
That is not what I would have
101
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.040
thought of. I've been trying to
get Martin for a long time and it
102
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.600
finally clicked. I was like,
he's going to be a hell Ben Holler's
103
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.879
table. I gotta just reach out
and snag him. And he's like,
104
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.759
yeah, let's do it, man. So I am pumped and I'm going
105
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.000
to pick up the vhs. Do
you talk about that special edition vhs?
106
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.360
You guys are rocking at Monsterfest for
us. So I need to clarify somethings.
107
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.360
DM has grown to the extent that, like the things that end up
108
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.159
happening within the company, a lot
of the time, I'm like barely clued
109
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.720
into and that VA that's had gone
all the way through to the point where
110
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.240
it was in production before I was
like brought and to have a part in
111
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:09.000
it. Courtney and Jason Judis who's
who just came on as like our He's
112
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.480
been on for over a month.
Jason's been tied Intosty way back to Agoteam
113
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.120
but twenty sixteen, but he's like
my right hand man at this point,
114
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.720
and Courtney obviously is like the one
helping spearhead everything from a financial standpoint and
115
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.480
keeping us above water at all times. The VHS, we're doing it with
116
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:37.080
a company called Crucial Blast, and
they do these small run VHS runs.
117
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.679
It's basically like a very there's only
three hundred copies of this VHS being printed.
118
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.679
If you get it at the event, you're probably going to have it.
119
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.200
If you don't get it at the
event, you might not get it.
120
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.000
We're thinking right now we're going to
be able to sell some online,
121
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.120
but we're only going to have one
hundred and fifty and they're selling one hundred
122
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.120
and fifty online, So there's only
three hundred copies of this going out.
123
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.320
But it's a VHS copy of American
Werewolves, which if you've seen the movie,
124
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.600
is like the perfect way to watch
it would be VHS if you actually
125
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.600
have a VCR, but even if
you don't have a VCR, I've seen
126
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.279
a lot of people that are like, why are you selling I have custom
127
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.919
VHS of Ready Player one in here, so I like them just to display.
128
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.799
So we're excited about that. But
in addition to the VHS, which
129
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.039
comes with like custom artwork on it
and stuff, I did an extensive interview
130
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.320
that will go inside the VHS,
inside this little zine that will also come
131
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.159
with the VHS, which has a
few articles or say, I think an
132
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.159
essay written by the guy who actually
is doing this, and then he also
133
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.879
interviewed me. So both those things
will be part of the VHS. So
134
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.480
we're pretty pumped about the VHS.
I've said VHS way too much. But
135
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.799
listeners, if you don't know a
VHS is you just bloke it up.
136
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.360
It's like the whole Stranger Things thing
and vintaged and like your parents and grandparents
137
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.600
all that. It's cool, guys, it's cool. But I am pumped
138
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.480
to see that the actual VHS tape. I'm all about it because I'm a
139
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.480
kid of the eighties. The cool
thing about Monster Fest is it's not just
140
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.840
Saturday. What's going on Friday night. Friday Night, we're showing on the
141
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.600
Trail of Bigfoot Land of the Missing
at the Canton Palace Theater. But I
142
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.039
will say we're also doing I just
want to mention this now because I might
143
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.159
forget because I'm feeling we're gonna end
up talking about Land of the Missing.
144
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.480
So following the Land of the Missing
premiere, and by the way, as
145
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.320
of right now, we're in the
process of signing this movie back over to
146
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.320
ten ninety one. There's also a
chance we're going to self distribute it.
147
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.000
I've been fighting with them for two
days, which has been a blast.
148
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.879
But the movie is not actually supposed
to come out until August, so not
149
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.720
only are you seeing a premiere,
but you're seeing a premiere like two months
150
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:11.279
before the movie will be allowed.
However, Kickstarter backers should be getting Land
151
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:18.279
of the Missing, dog Man Triangle
and the Dogman Triangle hardcover. I'm talking
152
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.840
like sometime this month, so so
that's another part to being kick Starter backer.
153
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.840
But anyway, the following the premiere, we are going to do Q
154
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.960
and A with some of the people
that are at the event, which I
155
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.559
believe does include you. Correct again, I know it's like, do you
156
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.120
want to be up there? And
I was like, yeah, let's do
157
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.840
it. Yeah. So we're going
to do with Q and A with some
158
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:48.600
of the people that are going to
be guests at the event, and the
159
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.120
Q and A is going to center
around general big footery and probably just kirket
160
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.879
A zoology in general. I'm sure
there's going to be a lot of references
161
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.879
to missing people and like that kind
of thing. But yeah, the premiere
162
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.039
is at the Canton Palace Theater on
June second. I think it's a six
163
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.240
thirty. I'm not positive about that. I think it's a six thirty camp
164
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.960
Palce Theater, which is at one
time was the largest screen in northeast Ohio.
165
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.000
I know for a fact that it
is still the largest screen in the
166
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:30.600
city of Canton. So it's a
classic movie house. The guy that was
167
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.440
the architect of these theaters did fifty
of them around the United States, and
168
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.080
the Palace is one of the only
ones remaining. The one in the one
169
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:46.559
in Canton, it's decorated to look
like you're in a Spanish garden. We
170
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.200
actually did an episode of On the
Trail of Hauntings there because it's also supposedly
171
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.279
haunted. We experienced nothing. I
don't believe it's haunted personally, but it's
172
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.799
a really great place to see a
movie. Stars and clouds that move across
173
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.879
across the ceiling, so it's really
cool. But yeah, and the movie.
174
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.919
Can we talk about this movie?
I haven't talked about the movie and
175
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.000
I'm wrapping it up and I'm and
I want you haven't talked about it yet.
176
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.639
I have yet to talk to anybody
about this movie. But I'm all
177
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.799
my dude about it for a while. Yeah, let's talk. Okay,
178
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.039
So let me say this first.
So you sent me the trailer, yeah,
179
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.720
through the DMS, and I watched
it today and I was like,
180
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.159
oh man, this is going to
be way more intense than I thought.
181
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.679
This is going to be great.
It's going to be one of those that
182
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.000
I think is going to get on
the radar of a lot of people.
183
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.320
Some of Alex's have done crazy,
like crazy numbers in terms of viewing.
184
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.919
The story of how this movie came
to be is actually much more interesting to
185
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.399
me than a lot of the other
stuff we've made. We set out to
186
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.799
just make a single movie about Alaska
called Less for an Tier, and it
187
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.159
was just going to be about the
history of Bigfoot in Alaska and Bigfoot sightings
188
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.960
and First Nations people in Alaska and
that kind of thing. I've always wanted
189
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.559
to go to Alaska, and we
ended up being there for seventeen days.
190
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.200
While we were in Alaska, we
ended up shooting close to twenty interviews,
191
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.240
and that's way more than can fit
in one movie. Realistically, what ended
192
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:37.480
up happening is we had just an
insane amount of content between what Alex and
193
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.200
Eli were doing out of Area A
and then what they also did while they
194
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.320
were driving up to meet us in
Healy. So they did three episodes of
195
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.960
Beyond the Trail in Alaska. And
by the way, I can make another
196
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:56.360
announcement on this episode that it has
not been announced yet about Alex and Alaska
197
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.559
and Eli in Alaska actually as long
as we're talking about all this. But
198
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:07.320
so, we were filming so many
interviews that it became obvious we were going
199
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.879
to have too much content to make
one movie. We need to make two
200
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.559
movies. But then the question became
like, what is the movie we're making?
201
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:21.840
Like every interview we were doing,
especially with like indigenous people, was
202
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:30.759
really hinting at a much darker lore
surrounding Sasquatch and stuff other than Sasquatch in
203
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.799
Alaska, and the kind of stuff
that I've wanted to delve into within the
204
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:40.120
series and be able to do it
from a personal standpoint. That's what ended
205
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.360
up happening. We really got into
the missing people topic as the shoot went
206
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.080
on, organically happen within making the
movie, which we've never had. I've
207
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.919
never had that happen. I've never
been making a movie and then have another
208
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.200
movie just come into focus as we're
making another movie ended up while we were
209
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.000
driving. This is midway through the
shoot. While we're driving from like the
210
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:12.119
coast up to oh, what is
that area called. So there's five regions
211
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.480
and this would be the Arctic,
the Subarctics, the Arctic. So basically
212
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.960
once you get up near Denali,
we're driving from Homer up to Denali.
213
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.880
Heather booked us an interview with a
guy who had a connection to a young
214
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.240
boy who was supposedly taken by a
Sasquatch, and so once that happened,
215
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.279
I was like, Okay, the
second movie is going to finally be my
216
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:45.079
chance to look at missing people and
the sort of the darker side of Sasquatch
217
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:52.160
through the lens of Alaska, and
so that's what it has become. So
218
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:59.039
the movie is about it's certainly about
missing people. It's about violent, aggressive
219
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:06.160
bigfoot encounters, which is very important
in that state. A couple of the
220
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.880
ones we had are some of the
most insane. One of them from Fred
221
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:18.440
role is it's wild like it's on
another level when it comes to sasquash encounters.
222
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.400
So I'm looking forward to getting that
in front of camera or in front
223
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:30.079
of audiences. But I'm also I
was able to with that series with On
224
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.640
the Trail of Bigfoot. It's me
looking at the subject of Bigfoot, but
225
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.359
it's supposed to be from personal standpoints. I'm allowed to comment directly on it
226
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.640
and like give where I give my
own perspective on this kind of stuff,
227
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:52.599
and I have very specific thoughts about
the missing people topic, and a lot
228
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.480
of people capitalize on it. I
was able to come at it from that
229
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.720
perspective and put my own stamp on
it and do it in a way that
230
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.519
I feel is personal. I think
it's respectful to the people who have gone
231
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:18.000
missing and their families, and also
maybe look at it in a way that
232
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.279
I hadn't looked at the subject before. And when you get into interviewing Cliff
233
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:29.279
Barrickman and he's putting weight behind it, like it changes your mind on the
234
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.839
whole thing. But every single person
we interviewed believes that Sasquatch is somehow responsible
235
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:41.880
for some number of missing people reports. And so that's the movie really,
236
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.000
I mean, it's straight up just
dives into that from the go. It
237
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.960
isn't just about Squatch. It there
is a section in the movie where I
238
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:59.640
was able to delve into some of
the other cryptids that exist. In the
239
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.519
last together, there's a ton like
people claim to see Woolly Mammoth's up there.
240
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.200
That's not in the movie. I
wish it was, because I have
241
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:15.279
interview segments that where people did talk
about that. But it at that point
242
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.759
it really did start to feel like
a completely different movies that little section got
243
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:26.319
cut. We do talk about like
giants, the concept of undiscovered tribes that
244
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:33.440
live in some of the really remote
areas, the idea of devil monkeys,
245
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.000
which is a really common There's two
ways to approach that too. One is
246
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.440
there's this idea of like ice monkeys
that live over there, snow monkeys,
247
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.359
but then there's also the idea of
like small people. There's a lot of
248
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.880
lore connected to like little people that
live in the woods who come and take
249
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:02.279
people. What's weird is so much
of the lore over there does somehow reflect
250
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:07.519
a fear of being taken or directly
reference being taken by something. So if
251
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:15.680
it isn't Bigfoot taking people, it's
like little people or or this these undiscovered
252
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:21.839
tribes who take people for a period
of seven years. There's all this stuff
253
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.680
that's really weird. A lot of
it is just in reference to a fear
254
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.000
of going into the woods, and
so the movie deals into all that.
255
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.640
It also gets into UFOs and the
Dark Pyramid or the Black Pyramid in Denali,
256
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.480
because we were like right near Denali
when we were in Healy, I
257
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:49.240
actually stayed my backyard at the primitive
cabin I stayed in was Denali National Park.
258
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.720
So when I would walk out my
door in the morning, I was
259
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.279
looking at Denali National Park and there
was no one near me. When I
260
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:02.240
was staying there, there was no
one within two three miles. There's other
261
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.559
cabins on that property, but when
I was there, it was not tourist
262
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:11.640
season and so no one was staying
there except me and I did hear some
263
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:17.960
stuff. Unfortunately it's not I didn't
catch audio, but in the movie you'll
264
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.839
hear me talk about or I can
just I heard the like baby crying stuff.
265
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.279
Did oh man? Yeah, I
heard the baby crying stuff, and
266
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:33.519
I heard some strange what was weirder. We heard the baby crying stuff,
267
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:38.079
for sure, But we had multiple
instances that were really odd there. One
268
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:45.160
of them was Courney and I were
there one night. We had just dropped
269
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.480
the group off and gone back to
the cabin. We're hanging out at the
270
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.279
cabin. We were there during the
time of year where it's never dark,
271
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.240
so it's always light outside. So
we're outside the cabin. It's about eleven
272
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.720
o'clock at nine, but it looks
like it's four o'clock in the afternoon.
273
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.240
We're outside of the cabin, and
we could hear kids playing, like what
274
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:10.880
clearly sounds like kids playing. There
are no houses there, so I'm confused
275
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.920
still to this day as to what
we were hearing. Sounded like children playing
276
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.440
and yelling and stuff like that.
In the woods. There were a ton
277
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.839
of moose at that property, which
is actually in Alaska. Much more terrifying
278
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.039
than bear, because this will just
screw you up. I was going to
279
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.400
do an episode of The big Foot
Project out at this cabin and just never
280
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.119
happened. But one other thing,
and I haven't talked about this anywhere,
281
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.759
but there was a night. There
was a night where we were out at
282
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:45.359
the cabin and a black SUV pulled
in and just coung out, and so
283
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.119
I ended up calling Alex and Eli
and they came down because they were up
284
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.759
the road, which, by the
way, their cabin was on Stampede Road,
285
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:02.960
which, if anyone knows about,
Chris mccamlis disappeared on Stampede Trail right
286
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.000
down the road from Stampede Road,
so where their airbnb was within two miles
287
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:12.200
of where Chris mccammis was last seen. So when the movie opens with Alex,
288
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:18.200
Eli and I were actually on stamped
Trail right at the spot where Chris
289
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:25.440
mccammis would have been dropped off.
Which I know this is referenced in Alaskan
290
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:32.400
Coastal but like that, to me
is the most famous missing person's case in
291
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.880
Alaskan history. He did show up, obviously he was dead. But when
292
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.319
you think of Alaska, a lot
of people think of Chris mccannilis, and
293
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:47.480
so that state is just inherently tied
to missing people, and there is a
294
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.200
Bigfoot connection via the lore to a
lot of that stuff. I tried to
295
00:24:52.240 --> 00:25:00.039
be as objective about it as I
could be. I also think you said
296
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:06.279
today you can't wait to see it
like on the big screen. Oh you
297
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.640
have no idea, Like I never
used for whatever reason, I'm not real
298
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.960
clear on why I did this,
but I barely used any of our helicopter
299
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.839
footage in Last Frontier, and so
this thing is just loaded with it.
300
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:26.640
So we have really crazy like aerial
shots of forests and rivers and mountaintops and
301
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:33.119
like all kinds of stuff in here, borderline national geographical level kind of stuff.
302
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.279
So seeing it on a big screen
and it probably won't the way things
303
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.079
go with STM, it probably won't
screen on a big screen. Again,
304
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.759
like seeing it at the Palace is
going to be crazy. I'm really excited
305
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:49.759
to have this one in front of
an audience just because it is a little
306
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:56.759
different from the typical on the trail
of Bigfoot, because and on the trail
307
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.920
of Bigfoot, I typically in front
of the camera walking around in like these
308
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.680
places and we're doing bigfoot hunts or
whatever. There's less of that in these
309
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.079
Alaskan ones, but there's a reason
for that. We interviewed so many people.
310
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.480
And then also it's never it was
never dark, so it's not what
311
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.240
are you gonna do? Most people
want to see us out in the woods
312
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.440
after dark because it's spooky. It's
not dark like I'd go to bed at
313
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.079
in the middle of it. I'd
go to bed at one am, and
314
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:30.519
you wake up at six and it's
the same level of brightness outside. I'm
315
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.400
excited to get the movie out there, and it feels to me these Alaskan
316
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.000
ones. I don't know if other
people, maybe not, both the Alaska
317
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.920
ones, but I feel like it's
funny. I thought Last Frontier would be
318
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.400
the really personal one, and I
it is to some extent, like I
319
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:53.039
dedicated it to my mom and stuff. But this one almost feels more personal
320
00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:00.119
in a way which you'll see what
you watch it why that might be.
321
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:07.240
But this one and Journey to me
very much feel like film versions of sas
322
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:14.680
what that's because it's all there's a
lot of me like ruminating on the topic
323
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:22.039
and like where I feel like we're
going wrong or right with the stuff newer
324
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.759
listeners might not know. But Seth
and Mark Madski used to have a Bigfoot
325
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:33.400
theme podcast called sas What which is
What's Incredible? And Andy wasn't involved too.
326
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.240
I have a few follow up questions, So what happened with the black
327
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:45.599
suv? Or if you so,
no, I can tell you. So
328
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.839
I went. The way this happened
is I was staying at a primitive cabin
329
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.359
in the middle of nowhere. Okay, so like middle of the night,
330
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.319
I get up and walk outside and
nothing but a pair of boxers to take
331
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:03.559
a leak. And I'm standing there
and I'm looking at the ground or something.
332
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.720
I don't know what I was doing, but I was not looking straight
333
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.200
ahead, and when I looked up, I was facing the van or this
334
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.319
suv, not a van, this
black suv that shouldn't be there. I
335
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.640
messaged the landowner and asked if someone
had come back there, and they were
336
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.200
like no, so this suv was
just sitting there. I quickly ran inside,
337
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.880
called Alex and Eli, and at
some point between when Alex and Eli
338
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:34.599
got down there and when I called, this suv left, So by the
339
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.640
time I got down there, it
was gone. The weird thing was that
340
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:45.079
night, I just had a weird
vibe. I don't talk lightly about that
341
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.319
kind of stuff. I'm not into
vibes or whatever, but it was I
342
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.039
had a weird sense that night.
The only other night that I was staying
343
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:57.200
there where I had an equally weird
sense was there was a night where Courtney
344
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.359
was down there with me and we
where we had gone out on the front
345
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:11.839
porch and the door shut and when
the door to the cabin shut, it
346
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.839
has an automatic lock. And when
the door to the cabin shut, we
347
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.680
had, for some reason both left
our phones inside, so it locks.
348
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:30.359
I'm not wearing shoes and she wasn't
either, and so we're outside in Alaska.
349
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.160
We don't have a car key,
it's in the house. There aren't
350
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:40.319
really windows to the cabin. There
isn't really like a way we could break
351
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.559
a window out and sneak back.
It's a primitive like it's a hunting cabin.
352
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.160
So we're out in Alaska with no
knowledge. We could not remember what
353
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:56.640
the code was to get back in
the house, and I ended up considering
354
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.160
running two miles down the road to
the other airbnba to see if they could
355
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.880
get us inside barefoot. In thirty
degree whether Thankfully, somehow Courtney remembered the
356
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.240
code and we did get back inside. So that was one of our scarier
357
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:17.880
incidents. But yeah, nothing came
of the suv and nothing came of the
358
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.599
cries we heard or the sounds we
heard. And I'm pretty upfront about that.
359
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:30.119
Like the movie opens with that typical
Bigfoot stuff. Nothing happens, Wow,
360
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.039
but it's it was weird, and
it somehow felt like the right way
361
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:41.960
to open the movie. Just like
hinting at the idea that when you're in
362
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:49.039
Alaska, Heally is by the way, Healey's a tiny town, but you're
363
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:55.799
only probably fifteen minutes from the entrance
to Denali National Park, which is a
364
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.799
very touristy area in at least in
Alaskan terms. There's a couple of resorts
365
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.359
there, there's some restaurants and things
like that. Where we were down in
366
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.480
Healey's much less too risty. But
no matter where you are in Alaska,
367
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.799
you're gonna at some point you are
going to feel eerily isolated. And when
368
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.720
you actually put yourself in a situation
where you are completely isolated, which I
369
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:25.319
did with that primitive cabin had no
running water, We had electricity, but
370
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.720
no running water, and we were
probably two three miles from the closest house
371
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.319
in a place where there's giant brown
bears running around, there's moose crap all
372
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.960
over the property, where everywhere there's
links walking. We saw links the one
373
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:48.079
day driving out Everything there can kill
you and you feel that isolation really well.
374
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.400
I am a huge fan of that
Into the Wild story. When the
375
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.119
book came out, I was working
for my parents, and I can remember
376
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:02.839
sitting at my parents store and the
book when I should have been working before
377
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.680
the movie even came out. And
then the movie came out and I watched
378
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.319
the movie, and I love that. So that story has always spoke to
379
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.359
me. Landed The Missing ends with
a quote by Jack London and like,
380
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.599
when I was a kid, Alaska
was my thing. That was what I
381
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.920
wanted to do, That was where
I wanted to go. Was like that
382
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.559
was my bucketless place. That was
the main reason we ended up staying there
383
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.680
for seventeen days. We didn't actually
need seventeen days to film a movie.
384
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:34.200
We can film a movie in four
days. But I've always wanted to go
385
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.359
to Alaska, and now Alex and
eel I are both doing more there.
386
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.200
I am even more excited to see
this movie. And so, guys,
387
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.599
if you want to see this is
going to be amazing on the big screen.
388
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:52.279
All the info for a Monster Fests
over at small Town Monsters dot Com.
389
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:59.720
Alex is doing a full season of
a show. We have not yet
390
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.319
if this will be something that happens
again or if it's a mini series one
391
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:07.839
off. He's going to be doing
multiple episodes at Area A, and it's
392
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.799
not Beyond the Trail, it's something
a little more personal. It's going to
393
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:17.759
be directly from Alex's POV and it's
going to be all set at Area A.
394
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.960
He's gonna be in Alaska. He's
going to be on the way to
395
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:29.319
and from Alaska and in Alaska for
around six weeks, so coming up right
396
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:34.599
after Monsterfest. When he leaves Monsterfest, he's driving to Alaska. So once
397
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.720
he's in Alaska, he's going to
Aria A. He's doing the Boreal big
398
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.119
Foot Conference, and then he'll go
to Area A and he'll be at Area
399
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:46.039
A, parked at Area A for
two plus weeks, making an entire show
400
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:53.480
based around Area A. Wow.
He's also doing multiple episodes of Beyond the
401
00:33:53.519 --> 00:34:00.839
Trail in Alaska that aren't directly at
Area. This new series is not gonna
402
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.559
be like a thing where we're canceling
beyond the Trail in the meantime or putting
403
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.559
it on a hiatus. Beyond the
Trail is going to continue, and this
404
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:15.239
is going to run concurrent. I
can just tell you as of like August,
405
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.599
there's going to be one thing,
like one big series of week coming
406
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:27.079
out on YouTube. Eli will definitely
be shooting mysteries and monsters up in Alaska
407
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.559
as well, so both of them
are going to be doing your own separate
408
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.480
things up in that neck of the
woods. And then sometime in August.
409
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:40.360
Actually, I think the way we
haven't planned is some of Alex's stuff might
410
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:49.400
start hitting in July, but you'll
start seeing a large chunk of stuff from
411
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.559
us popping up on our YouTube around
August, where it will be like a
412
00:34:52.599 --> 00:35:00.159
weekly, big series because we also
have Sasquashed unearthed in West Virdge and you
413
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:07.159
are coming out starting this month later
this month. That is incredible, man,
414
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.480
I kid just can't imagine because like
Area a holy mackerel. You know
415
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:17.760
that the stuff didn't stop happening once
Alex and Eli and Ron and all those
416
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.760
guy's left that area. It's gonna
it's still going on right now, and
417
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.519
that is amazing that Alex is gonna
be up there for that amount of time.
418
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.559
It's almost like an awac A situation
with Area X, where it's like
419
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.880
you get them in there for a
long time past the normal time where the
420
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:44.920
sasquatchs think they're gonna leave, and
then that's when the craziest stuff really starts.
421
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.639
I think I think they I don't
think they do leave, And I
422
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:54.039
think this is why this kind of
thing. I mean that when let's say
423
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.840
the people visiting the area leave,
not to send the sasquatcher there. They're
424
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.880
not leaving. Yeah, yeah,
but I think that's why this kind of
425
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:08.880
thing is actually much more a much
more realistic approach to actually train to find
426
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:16.719
answers than chasing sighting reports. I
had the same thing happened in Minerva.
427
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:22.719
It's just it happened for a very
specific reason at that period of time.
428
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.159
I think we've nailed down why it
happened at this point. The name.
429
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.039
I don't want to get off on
a tangent though, because you're please,
430
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:36.800
I'd be very interested as to what
you had figured out. So yeah,
431
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.239
for listeners who don't know. We
did a series called Bigfoot Project. The
432
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:46.480
Bigfoot Project. Heather Moser's family lives
on a pretty sizable chunk of property outside
433
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.599
of Minerva, Ohio, where there
is a history of sightings going back some
434
00:36:52.679 --> 00:37:00.760
ways. We started going their last
not this past but the previous September,
435
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:07.360
and pretty much immediately had activity.
We had a lot of activity, and
436
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:13.000
it lasted a certain number of months
and then just died, like completely died.
437
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:21.519
There was no there's nothing. So
right before Heather notified me that there
438
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.559
was strange stuff happening on the property, the neighboring property, which was far
439
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.760
larger, a much larger chunk of
forest, started being clear cut for a
440
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:36.960
TV trails. Our assumption is that
these things, we're trying to find a
441
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.440
place to go. They headed over
to this property where there is forest,
442
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:47.280
but maybe not as dense, there's
not as much like water. They end
443
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.239
upon this property where I happened to
be like it's like the most coincidental thing,
444
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:58.119
but it all fell into place,
so like I end up there.
445
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:07.119
We had activity. We started experiencing
things in September. By November, the
446
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.639
leaf canopies down there were still odd
happenings, which is why we made two
447
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:19.000
more episodes after the leaf Canopy help
came down, but it was definitely dying
448
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:28.400
off. Now they're clear cutting the
pipelines. Okay, within at how there's
449
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.599
property and so literally I wish I
had the photo, but are a way
450
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:37.360
to show you the photo. But
even where I had my sighting, it's
451
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:43.639
completely clear cut right now and there
are bulldozers all over the hill. It
452
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:47.679
was like the right place, right
time with all the construction happening on the
453
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.760
property. There's also the fact that
in the very first episode, Corey said
454
00:38:53.119 --> 00:39:00.079
that the guy that owns as the
property said that they're developing land on the
455
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.199
other side of the hill from where
the property is. I think these things
456
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.639
happened actually far more frequently and states
like Ohio than people realize. I think
457
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.519
these things are far more prevalent or
were far more prevalent in Ohio and other
458
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.519
states like Ohio than people realize.
But they are getting pushed. I think
459
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:22.039
they're getting pushed into more. They're
constantly being pushed out of certain areas,
460
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:30.920
like near where stm was previously located
in Wadsworth, there was there were all
461
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.679
these stories about the river stix Monster
and Mark the Worth, who's like a
462
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.639
Bigfoot investigator in Ohio. His uncle
had a sighting near Riverstis. If you
463
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.360
go to River Sticks today. I
just drove through it in the last two
464
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:51.199
weeks. It's completely developed, but
it wasn't like that, even in the
465
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:57.119
last ten years. It wasn't like
that. So it's it happens fast,
466
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:06.199
and I think when it happens,
you see a natural sort of disappearance of
467
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:12.280
the reports from that area. That
kind of thing happen exactly. If listeners
468
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:16.239
haven't watched The Bigfoot Project yet,
you need to go back a little bit
469
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.800
and you need to take the time
to watch it. It's very cool and
470
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:24.119
you get to see set book it
after. I'm not going to spoil it
471
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:28.519
for you, but he's it's pretty
awesome. The whole series is. It's
472
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.599
one of my favorites. There is
one thing that I want to make sure
473
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:39.920
that we touch on that we haven't
really yet, and that is this Monster
474
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.760
Fest is so unique in that they
are going to be guests there. People
475
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.480
you've invited that have never will probably
not go to one of these things again.
476
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:55.400
I think people really need to get
that this might be the one chance
477
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.679
to meet some of these people and
for them to have that connection. Do
478
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:05.840
you mind sharing who's some of the
really unique individuals that you've invited to come
479
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:12.280
to Monster Fest would be Lauren Coleman
is going to be speaking and appearing at
480
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.320
the event. Same with Stan Gordon, who's like a Pennsylvania researcher. He's
481
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:21.920
going to be appearing and speaking.
Cliff Barrickman from Finding big Foot, Richard
482
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:27.360
Haddam, who is the screenwriter on
Mothman Prophecies, will be there. Amy
483
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:31.199
Boo, who is in the Olympic
Project and she's a really great Ohio based
484
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:35.400
researcher. She's going to be speaking. She'll be there. We're only having
485
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:39.800
four speakers, which is why I'm
mentioning this The event is much more geared
486
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:47.119
around your personal, like Congoer's personal
interaction with these people rather than just focusing
487
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.079
on listening to them. Lyle Blackburn's
going to be there. He's not speaking,
488
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.320
which, like to some people would
be a surprise, but I want
489
00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.480
people to be able to go talk
to Lotle oh Yes, Forrest and Scott
490
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:06.119
from A Stonishing Legends, Jim Harold, Shannon LeGrow, Eli Watson, Alexander
491
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:12.280
Pennikov, Aaron Deese who just wrote
Oh Yeah, Texas dog Man Triangle book
492
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:15.519
that is being published byshal Monti Monsters. Mark Matski will be there, Adam
493
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.920
Dugan who's been in munch of bart
movies, Jeremiah Byron who you may have
494
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:24.000
heard of from the Bigfoot Society podcast, and then me but there's also Heather
495
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.519
Moser will be there. All the
STM crew will be there, including Brandon
496
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.760
Dalo who we're flying it, which
is awesome that they've gotten Brandon coming out.
497
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.559
He's the music guy if people don't
know, he's the composer of the
498
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:42.159
music that's in all of your favorite
STM movies, etc. Yeah, he'll
499
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.760
be there, and his dad will
be there, which his dad's running our
500
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:52.039
av so his dad is like a
legend in the Kenton music scene. By
501
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:59.599
the way, nice but it is. Yeah, it's the cancelation is just
502
00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:05.000
in Turnipesky. It's not going to
work out. So I have not yet
503
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:07.440
figured out if I'm going to pull
a surprise on everybody and get someone else
504
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:15.039
involved, but as of now that
is our guestless. I should mention the
505
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:22.719
live podcast room. There's a full
on podcast, a live podcast room that
506
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:31.159
will have multiple live podcasts, including
Bigfoot Society, Sasquash Experience with Sean Forker,
507
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:45.119
Astonishing Legends, Jim Harold, and
then Laura's Show is a sort yeah.
508
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:50.719
Yes, the events free for kids
twelve and under, so we're doing
509
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.199
like a there's gonna be a scavenger
hunt and other like all ages friendly stuff.
510
00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:02.360
Nice. It's a family oriented event. I've recently said this to the
511
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:06.599
crew at the end of the day. STM is supposed to be geared around
512
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.400
family like it was from the beginning, and I don't want us to become
513
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:17.039
lost in the shuffle of making scary
movies and then forget about who our main
514
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.880
audiences. I want kids to be
able to get into the stuff. There's
515
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.800
gonna be a lot going on,
but it's definitely a family friendly event.
516
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.800
I'm so pumped. And listeners is
going to be the links to where to
517
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:38.599
get this info in the show notes. If you want to go, it'll
518
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.079
be less than thirty days. It's
going to be a few days, less
519
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:45.719
than thirty days by the time this
gets out. You need to immediately buy
520
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.119
your ticket and immediately try to get
a hotel room as quick as you can
521
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:54.719
before we go sets, we have
a few more minutes. One of the
522
00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:00.840
features you have coming out this year
is your British Columbia project, and you
523
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:08.480
share maybe one little thing that you
are just extremely excited about being able to
524
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:14.760
do in British Columbia once you go
out there. Yeah, I know.
525
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.800
Mark was just at my house last
last week and him and I we're talking
526
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:24.719
about this. The idea that where
we're going is when you look at it
527
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.480
on a map and you look at
the historical Bigfoot accounts, so much happened
528
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:34.880
within that area. That is mind
blowing because you've got this is the place.
529
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.800
So we're actually going to be at
We're staying in the Harrison, the
530
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:44.079
Harrison Valley. No it's not Harrison
Valley, I can't remember the name.
531
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:50.360
It's a valley. Harrison Hot Springs
is right there, which is where John
532
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:58.000
Green was. And then we're staying
within fifteen minutes of Ruby Creek, and
533
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:05.039
then you're not that far from like
the Albert Austman sighting, and like when
534
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:12.840
you start really looking at it,
this is the place where the Sasquatch moniker
535
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:17.320
came into focus. Like people only
know about it because of this area,
536
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.360
and so that's the name for me. It was always about John Green,
537
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:27.840
and I've learned some things about John
Green while I was researching this movie,
538
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.559
just some extent that I'm interested in
trying to explore. I don't know if
539
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.719
we're going to get to but just
as a person and how he was viewed
540
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:42.079
by his family that I'm interested in. It's not as positive as I would
541
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:47.480
have expected, but I've always felt
like sasquatch researchers, especially those that get
542
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:53.000
really deep into it, inevitably somehow
destroyed their relationship with their family. And
543
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:59.039
that's important to me right now because
I don't know if it's just because of
544
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.400
my son or my mom or what
it is. But like, I'm sure
545
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:06.840
I'm going to come at that from
some sort of angle when I get into
546
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:14.440
the narration of it. Anytime I
can find a really personal angle to take
547
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:19.079
on this stuff within the context of
On the Trail of Bigfoot, it excites
548
00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:23.880
me because that's the whole point of
the series. Otherwise we might as well
549
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:29.239
just keep making spooky legend, right. It seems like that's going to be
550
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:31.239
where I'm coming at this from.
I know we are doing an ATV,
551
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.559
an ATV expedition one day that will
take us around a place called Sasquash Mountain,
552
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:46.239
and then I know we're doing a
nighttime boat ride down the river near
553
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:52.800
there that I'm excited about. So
those are the adventure things. But we're
554
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.760
going to go to Ruby Creek.
We're going to interview a lot of people
555
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:04.880
locally, and the area is gorgeous. It almost reminds me when I'm looking
556
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.320
at it, it reminds me of
a cross between the Olympic Peninsula and like
557
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.679
the Rockies. Excited to see that
as well. But listeners, make sure
558
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:17.519
that if you're interested in the monster
Fest stuff we've been talking about at all,
559
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:22.760
go over to smalltown Monsters dot com, click on the monster Fest tab.
560
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.480
Get all the info up at the
top. But times running out.
561
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:32.719
It's June second, sas yes,
June second is. June third is the
562
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:37.480
monster Fest Saturday. June Monsterfest June
second is the premiere at the Camp Hellis
563
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.199
Theater. It's gonna be a rock
and time. And if you see me
564
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.440
there, listeners, please come up
and say hi. I hope to see
565
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.639
in the podcast room. I'm going
to have a thousand stickers that I'm just
566

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.919
We're outside the cabin and we could
hear kids playing, like what clearly sounds
2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.160
like kids playing, and so there
are no houses there, so I'm confused
3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.399
still to this day as to what
we were hearing sound like children playing and
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:26.879
yelling and stuff like that in the
woods. Welcome to big Foot Society.
5
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.920
In this episode, we talked to
set the Breedlove, Ohio based filmmaker and
6
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.079
founder of Small Town Monsters. In
this episode, we talk about what happened
7
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.320
during the filming of Land of the
Missing, the upcoming monster Fest, and
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:51.240
new updates to the big Foot project. Find out this and more on this
9
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.600
week's episode of the big Foot Society
podcast. All Right, Big Society,
10
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.600
You've got the privilege of talking with
an old friend. I believe I could
11
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.359
say old friend. We've chatted for
quite a bit. I've done my longest
12
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.560
interviews with you, so that's true. We had a two hour one back
13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.040
in the day. I think there's
close to three at one point. Mister
14
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.760
Seth Breedlove from Small Town Monsters.
How's it going today, sir, I'm
15
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.359
good. Thank you for talking to
me, because I'm just noticing right now
16
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.319
you've got so many toys in the
background. What's your favorite toy in that
17
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.519
or sorry, action figure? I
should say in that room. No,
18
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.239
you can call them toys, according
he calls them dolls. Her daughter comes
19
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.400
down here to mess with my toys
because she likes to dress them and do
20
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.200
their hair. That's where I'm at
my favorite what do you mean, favorite
21
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.159
line or favorite individual toy? If
the room was on fire and you had
22
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.640
to pick one up and run out
with it so it didn't get burned down.
23
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.400
Tommy keeps his original Optimus Prime g
One in here, and it's so
24
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.840
that would have to be the one
that I saved. Not that he cares,
25
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.240
because he has a much better one
that actually has joints that work and
26
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.479
stuff. But he has a g
One down here that I bought him,
27
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.240
so i'd have to say that.
But I do like that galactus in the
28
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.879
background there, he's three feet tall. That Gen one transformer stuff. Dude.
29
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.280
Prior to Big Foot Society, I
used to be big into thrifting and
30
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.800
reselling and all that stuff. That
was my jam. You don't mess around
31
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.599
with that transformer stuff, dude.
That goes for some crazy. That's that's
32
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.199
some good investment stuff right there.
He goes, we have a toy We're
33
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.599
already off the rails. But we
have a toy store. We have a
34
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.800
toy store that's going to happen.
We have a toy store near here called
35
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.199
Toys Time Forgot, which if I
had time, I would totally take you
36
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.479
to when you're up here for the
event. But it's one of the most
37
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.639
famous vintage way stores in the world. Like toy collectors from Japan and stuff
38
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.879
come over here to buy at this
place. But I used to do articles
39
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:08.199
on them for the newspaper. And
we go in there once a week,
40
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.719
usually on Tuesday night, and Tommy
will pick out like one or two g
41
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:20.680
one transformers from their case. That's
our dream. It's like Al's Toy Barn
42
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.439
from Toy Story two, right,
yeah, like crazy stuff. Too quick,
43
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:30.360
gotta go around the horn. That's
a line from Toy Story two numb
44
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.400
Mine. It's like, oh no, no, that's like in the scene
45
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.319
where ham is like hitting the control
keeps passing it. It goes too quick,
46
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.919
gotta go around the horn. For
some reason, every week we repeat
47
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.719
that while we're playing Fortnite, folks, I just lost half of my audience
48
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.319
sets into the Disney picks out there
like Let's forget this guy. I'm out
49
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.759
here, Seth. Let's chat about
what's coming up in thirty days. Man,
50
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.639
there's something that I am psyched for
and I want to make sure that
51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.800
all my listeners know about. Tell
me what's going on with monster Fest in
52
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.360
small town Monsters. Back in twenty
fifteen, we did an event in Minerva
53
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.479
called Minerva Monster Day. We did
it in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen.
54
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:23.680
It was a small town festival,
very much geared around like Bigfoot. We
55
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.040
had Bigfoot speakers and that kind of
stuff, and it was also like embracing
56
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:35.040
the whole small town roots of STM. But we were supposed to do an
57
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.079
event back in twenty seventeen. I
don't know how many people remember this,
58
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.519
but we had announced it, we
had a poster, we had multiple posters,
59
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.480
we had announced Lauren Coleman and Lyon
Blackmurton were speaking. We ended up
60
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.160
canceling it because the town was just
not helping with the event to the extent
61
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.879
that I just walked away. But
from that point on, I always wanted
62
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.560
to do another event like that.
It's something that was much more geared around,
63
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:10.879
like the like pop culture cons that
I enjoy going to but centered around
64
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.199
cryptids. And obviously we have Crypto
Coon in Kentucky every year and they're the
65
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.319
og. They've been doing it for
quite a few I've been at every event
66
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.240
they've done. But as much as
I love crypticon, I have yet to
67
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:30.319
see a true like comic con atmosphere
surrounding encryptids. And so that's that was
68
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.439
the whole impetus for doing this was
like, let's try to like all the
69
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.319
way down until we're going to have
an artist alley and that kind of thing.
70
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.720
Very much is a comic con,
but centat around cryptids, and it
71
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.639
really is also supposed to play to
some of the things that I think are
72
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:56.480
really important to the community and the
the growing popularity of the topic, which
73
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:02.000
is podcasts. I've said before like
I got into this because of podcasts.
74
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.000
I used to do a medical billing
job and I just would sit there and
75
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.279
listen to podcasts all day. And
that's why I'm doing this today. To
76
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.519
me, it's always been really important
to have podcasters representative this kind of stuff,
77
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.360
and typically you guys get left out. I was left out when I
78
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:26.160
did a podcast. I know how
this is, but in terms of importance
79
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.079
to the growth of this these topics, like you guys are at the top.
80
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.879
No one else is doing on a
weekly basis what you're doing in terms
81
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.879
of propagating this subject, and so
I wanted to do. I wanted to
82
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.319
bring in podcasters, which is why
like Astonishing Legends is going to be there,
83
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:54.879
Scott and Forrest and Jim Harold.
Jim is like the godfather. He
84
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.600
would balk at this, but he's
the godfather of cryptic and paranormal podcast to
85
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.519
again, I wanted to create an
event that I would actually want to go
86
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.439
to, and on the record,
I don't like going to these events,
87
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.439
so I wanted to create an event
that I would actually now yeah, And
88
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:20.000
so that's what we're doing. It's
such a cool I when I first heard
89
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.480
of Monster Fest, I was like, oh man, this is awesome.
90
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:30.439
I'm dropping everything and I am getting
my ticket to go. And then Seth
91
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.519
asked me to come out and do
the podcast live, which was even better.
92
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.759
So I appreciate that. I want
to say that publicly, so listeners,
93
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.720
this is just the little plug section
for myself if you want to hear
94
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.959
probably one of the only times that
Big Foot Society will be doing in episode
95
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.079
live. It's gonna be at Monster
Fest, and if you want to hear
96
00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:03.800
it with all the ms and the
crazy snaffoos, that's gonna be Monsterfest because
97
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.959
I edit those out. I spend
hours editing every week. But just to
98
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.079
let you know, I will be
interviewing someone live. I'll be interviewing Martin
99
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.800
Groves about his Land between the Lakes
dog Man encounter. It's gonna be awesome.
100
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.839
Dude. What a rad pickup.
That is not what I would have
101
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.040
thought of. I've been trying to
get Martin for a long time and it
102
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.600
finally clicked. I was like,
he's going to be a hell Ben Holler's
103
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.879
table. I gotta just reach out
and snag him. And he's like,
104
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.759
yeah, let's do it, man. So I am pumped and I'm going
105
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.000
to pick up the vhs. Do
you talk about that special edition vhs?
106
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.360
You guys are rocking at Monsterfest for
us. So I need to clarify somethings.
107
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.360
DM has grown to the extent that, like the things that end up
108
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.159
happening within the company, a lot
of the time, I'm like barely clued
109
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.720
into and that VA that's had gone
all the way through to the point where
110
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.240
it was in production before I was
like brought and to have a part in
111
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:09.000
it. Courtney and Jason Judis who's
who just came on as like our He's
112
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.480
been on for over a month.
Jason's been tied Intosty way back to Agoteam
113
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.120
but twenty sixteen, but he's like
my right hand man at this point,
114
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.720
and Courtney obviously is like the one
helping spearhead everything from a financial standpoint and
115
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.480
keeping us above water at all times. The VHS, we're doing it with
116
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:37.080
a company called Crucial Blast, and
they do these small run VHS runs.
117
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.679
It's basically like a very there's only
three hundred copies of this VHS being printed.
118
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.679
If you get it at the event, you're probably going to have it.
119
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.200
If you don't get it at the
event, you might not get it.
120
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.000
We're thinking right now we're going to
be able to sell some online,
121
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.120
but we're only going to have one
hundred and fifty and they're selling one hundred
122
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.120
and fifty online, So there's only
three hundred copies of this going out.
123
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.320
But it's a VHS copy of American
Werewolves, which if you've seen the movie,
124
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.600
is like the perfect way to watch
it would be VHS if you actually
125
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.600
have a VCR, but even if
you don't have a VCR, I've seen
126
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.279
a lot of people that are like, why are you selling I have custom
127
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.919
VHS of Ready Player one in here, so I like them just to display.
128
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.799
So we're excited about that. But
in addition to the VHS, which
129
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.039
comes with like custom artwork on it
and stuff, I did an extensive interview
130
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.320
that will go inside the VHS,
inside this little zine that will also come
131
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.159
with the VHS, which has a
few articles or say, I think an
132
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.159
essay written by the guy who actually
is doing this, and then he also
133
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.879
interviewed me. So both those things
will be part of the VHS. So
134
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.480
we're pretty pumped about the VHS.
I've said VHS way too much. But
135
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.799
listeners, if you don't know a
VHS is you just bloke it up.
136
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.360
It's like the whole Stranger Things thing
and vintaged and like your parents and grandparents
137
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.600
all that. It's cool, guys, it's cool. But I am pumped
138
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.480
to see that the actual VHS tape. I'm all about it because I'm a
139
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.480
kid of the eighties. The cool
thing about Monster Fest is it's not just
140
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.840
Saturday. What's going on Friday night. Friday Night, we're showing on the
141
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.600
Trail of Bigfoot Land of the Missing
at the Canton Palace Theater. But I
142
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.039
will say we're also doing I just
want to mention this now because I might
143
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.159
forget because I'm feeling we're gonna end
up talking about Land of the Missing.
144
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.480
So following the Land of the Missing
premiere, and by the way, as
145
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.320
of right now, we're in the
process of signing this movie back over to
146
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.320
ten ninety one. There's also a
chance we're going to self distribute it.
147
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.000
I've been fighting with them for two
days, which has been a blast.
148
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.879
But the movie is not actually supposed
to come out until August, so not
149
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.720
only are you seeing a premiere,
but you're seeing a premiere like two months
150
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:11.279
before the movie will be allowed.
However, Kickstarter backers should be getting Land
151
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:18.279
of the Missing, dog Man Triangle
and the Dogman Triangle hardcover. I'm talking
152
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.840
like sometime this month, so so
that's another part to being kick Starter backer.
153
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.840
But anyway, the following the premiere, we are going to do Q
154
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.960
and A with some of the people
that are at the event, which I
155
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.559
believe does include you. Correct again, I know it's like, do you
156
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.120
want to be up there? And
I was like, yeah, let's do
157
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.840
it. Yeah. So we're going
to do with Q and A with some
158
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:48.600
of the people that are going to
be guests at the event, and the
159
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.120
Q and A is going to center
around general big footery and probably just kirket
160
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.879
A zoology in general. I'm sure
there's going to be a lot of references
161
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.879
to missing people and like that kind
of thing. But yeah, the premiere
162
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.039
is at the Canton Palace Theater on
June second. I think it's a six
163
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.240
thirty. I'm not positive about that. I think it's a six thirty camp
164
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.960
Palce Theater, which is at one
time was the largest screen in northeast Ohio.
165
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.000
I know for a fact that it
is still the largest screen in the
166
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:30.600
city of Canton. So it's a
classic movie house. The guy that was
167
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.440
the architect of these theaters did fifty
of them around the United States, and
168
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.080
the Palace is one of the only
ones remaining. The one in the one
169
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:46.559
in Canton, it's decorated to look
like you're in a Spanish garden. We
170
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.200
actually did an episode of On the
Trail of Hauntings there because it's also supposedly
171
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.279
haunted. We experienced nothing. I
don't believe it's haunted personally, but it's
172
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.799
a really great place to see a
movie. Stars and clouds that move across
173
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.879
across the ceiling, so it's really
cool. But yeah, and the movie.
174
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.919
Can we talk about this movie?
I haven't talked about the movie and
175
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.000
I'm wrapping it up and I'm and
I want you haven't talked about it yet.
176
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.639
I have yet to talk to anybody
about this movie. But I'm all
177
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.799
my dude about it for a while. Yeah, let's talk. Okay,
178
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.039
So let me say this first.
So you sent me the trailer, yeah,
179
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.720
through the DMS, and I watched
it today and I was like,
180
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.159
oh man, this is going to
be way more intense than I thought.
181
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.679
This is going to be great.
It's going to be one of those that
182
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.000
I think is going to get on
the radar of a lot of people.
183
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.320
Some of Alex's have done crazy,
like crazy numbers in terms of viewing.
184
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.919
The story of how this movie came
to be is actually much more interesting to
185
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.399
me than a lot of the other
stuff we've made. We set out to
186
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.799
just make a single movie about Alaska
called Less for an Tier, and it
187
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.159
was just going to be about the
history of Bigfoot in Alaska and Bigfoot sightings
188
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.960
and First Nations people in Alaska and
that kind of thing. I've always wanted
189
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.559
to go to Alaska, and we
ended up being there for seventeen days.
190
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.200
While we were in Alaska, we
ended up shooting close to twenty interviews,
191
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.240
and that's way more than can fit
in one movie. Realistically, what ended
192
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:37.480
up happening is we had just an
insane amount of content between what Alex and
193
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.200
Eli were doing out of Area A
and then what they also did while they
194
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.320
were driving up to meet us in
Healy. So they did three episodes of
195
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.960
Beyond the Trail in Alaska. And
by the way, I can make another
196
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:56.360
announcement on this episode that it has
not been announced yet about Alex and Alaska
197
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.559
and Eli in Alaska actually as long
as we're talking about all this. But
198
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:07.320
so, we were filming so many
interviews that it became obvious we were going
199
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.879
to have too much content to make
one movie. We need to make two
200
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.559
movies. But then the question became
like, what is the movie we're making?
201
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:21.840
Like every interview we were doing,
especially with like indigenous people, was
202
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:30.759
really hinting at a much darker lore
surrounding Sasquatch and stuff other than Sasquatch in
203
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.799
Alaska, and the kind of stuff
that I've wanted to delve into within the
204
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:40.120
series and be able to do it
from a personal standpoint. That's what ended
205
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.360
up happening. We really got into
the missing people topic as the shoot went
206
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.080
on, organically happen within making the
movie, which we've never had. I've
207
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.919
never had that happen. I've never
been making a movie and then have another
208
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.200
movie just come into focus as we're
making another movie ended up while we were
209
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.000
driving. This is midway through the
shoot. While we're driving from like the
210
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:12.119
coast up to oh, what is
that area called. So there's five regions
211
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.480
and this would be the Arctic,
the Subarctics, the Arctic. So basically
212
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.960
once you get up near Denali,
we're driving from Homer up to Denali.
213
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.880
Heather booked us an interview with a
guy who had a connection to a young
214
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.240
boy who was supposedly taken by a
Sasquatch, and so once that happened,
215
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.279
I was like, Okay, the
second movie is going to finally be my
216
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:45.079
chance to look at missing people and
the sort of the darker side of Sasquatch
217
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:52.160
through the lens of Alaska, and
so that's what it has become. So
218
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:59.039
the movie is about it's certainly about
missing people. It's about violent, aggressive
219
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:06.160
bigfoot encounters, which is very important
in that state. A couple of the
220
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.880
ones we had are some of the
most insane. One of them from Fred
221
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:18.440
role is it's wild like it's on
another level when it comes to sasquash encounters.
222
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.400
So I'm looking forward to getting that
in front of camera or in front
223
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:30.079
of audiences. But I'm also I
was able to with that series with On
224
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.640
the Trail of Bigfoot. It's me
looking at the subject of Bigfoot, but
225
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.359
it's supposed to be from personal standpoints. I'm allowed to comment directly on it
226
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.640
and like give where I give my
own perspective on this kind of stuff,
227
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:52.599
and I have very specific thoughts about
the missing people topic, and a lot
228
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.480
of people capitalize on it. I
was able to come at it from that
229
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.720
perspective and put my own stamp on
it and do it in a way that
230
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.519
I feel is personal. I think
it's respectful to the people who have gone
231
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:18.000
missing and their families, and also
maybe look at it in a way that
232
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.279
I hadn't looked at the subject before. And when you get into interviewing Cliff
233
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:29.279
Barrickman and he's putting weight behind it, like it changes your mind on the
234
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.839
whole thing. But every single person
we interviewed believes that Sasquatch is somehow responsible
235
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:41.880
for some number of missing people reports. And so that's the movie really,
236
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.000
I mean, it's straight up just
dives into that from the go. It
237
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.960
isn't just about Squatch. It there
is a section in the movie where I
238
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:59.640
was able to delve into some of
the other cryptids that exist. In the
239
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.519
last together, there's a ton like
people claim to see Woolly Mammoth's up there.
240
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.200
That's not in the movie. I
wish it was, because I have
241
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:15.279
interview segments that where people did talk
about that. But it at that point
242
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.759
it really did start to feel like
a completely different movies that little section got
243
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:26.319
cut. We do talk about like
giants, the concept of undiscovered tribes that
244
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:33.440
live in some of the really remote
areas, the idea of devil monkeys,
245
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.000
which is a really common There's two
ways to approach that too. One is
246
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.440
there's this idea of like ice monkeys
that live over there, snow monkeys,
247
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.359
but then there's also the idea of
like small people. There's a lot of
248
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.880
lore connected to like little people that
live in the woods who come and take
249
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:02.279
people. What's weird is so much
of the lore over there does somehow reflect
250
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:07.519
a fear of being taken or directly
reference being taken by something. So if
251
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:15.680
it isn't Bigfoot taking people, it's
like little people or or this these undiscovered
252
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:21.839
tribes who take people for a period
of seven years. There's all this stuff
253
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.680
that's really weird. A lot of
it is just in reference to a fear
254
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.000
of going into the woods, and
so the movie deals into all that.
255
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.640
It also gets into UFOs and the
Dark Pyramid or the Black Pyramid in Denali,
256
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.480
because we were like right near Denali
when we were in Healy, I
257
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:49.240
actually stayed my backyard at the primitive
cabin I stayed in was Denali National Park.
258
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.720
So when I would walk out my
door in the morning, I was
259
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.279
looking at Denali National Park and there
was no one near me. When I
260
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:02.240
was staying there, there was no
one within two three miles. There's other
261
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.559
cabins on that property, but when
I was there, it was not tourist
262
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:11.640
season and so no one was staying
there except me and I did hear some
263
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:17.960
stuff. Unfortunately it's not I didn't
catch audio, but in the movie you'll
264
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.839
hear me talk about or I can
just I heard the like baby crying stuff.
265
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.279
Did oh man? Yeah, I
heard the baby crying stuff, and
266
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:33.519
I heard some strange what was weirder. We heard the baby crying stuff,
267
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:38.079
for sure, But we had multiple
instances that were really odd there. One
268
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:45.160
of them was Courney and I were
there one night. We had just dropped
269
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.480
the group off and gone back to
the cabin. We're hanging out at the
270
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.279
cabin. We were there during the
time of year where it's never dark,
271
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.240
so it's always light outside. So
we're outside the cabin. It's about eleven
272
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.720
o'clock at nine, but it looks
like it's four o'clock in the afternoon.
273
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.240
We're outside of the cabin, and
we could hear kids playing, like what
274
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:10.880
clearly sounds like kids playing. There
are no houses there, so I'm confused
275
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.920
still to this day as to what
we were hearing. Sounded like children playing
276
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.440
and yelling and stuff like that.
In the woods. There were a ton
277
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.839
of moose at that property, which
is actually in Alaska. Much more terrifying
278
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.039
than bear, because this will just
screw you up. I was going to
279
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.400
do an episode of The big Foot
Project out at this cabin and just never
280
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.119
happened. But one other thing,
and I haven't talked about this anywhere,
281
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.759
but there was a night. There
was a night where we were out at
282
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:45.359
the cabin and a black SUV pulled
in and just coung out, and so
283
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.119
I ended up calling Alex and Eli
and they came down because they were up
284
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.759
the road, which, by the
way, their cabin was on Stampede Road,
285
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:02.960
which, if anyone knows about,
Chris mccamlis disappeared on Stampede Trail right
286
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.000
down the road from Stampede Road,
so where their airbnb was within two miles
287
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:12.200
of where Chris mccammis was last seen. So when the movie opens with Alex,
288
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:18.200
Eli and I were actually on stamped
Trail right at the spot where Chris
289
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:25.440
mccammis would have been dropped off.
Which I know this is referenced in Alaskan
290
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:32.400
Coastal but like that, to me
is the most famous missing person's case in
291
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:36.880
Alaskan history. He did show up, obviously he was dead. But when
292
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.319
you think of Alaska, a lot
of people think of Chris mccannilis, and
293
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:47.480
so that state is just inherently tied
to missing people, and there is a
294
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.200
Bigfoot connection via the lore to a
lot of that stuff. I tried to
295
00:24:52.240 --> 00:25:00.039
be as objective about it as I
could be. I also think you said
296
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:06.279
today you can't wait to see it
like on the big screen. Oh you
297
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.640
have no idea, Like I never
used for whatever reason, I'm not real
298
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.960
clear on why I did this,
but I barely used any of our helicopter
299
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.839
footage in Last Frontier, and so
this thing is just loaded with it.
300
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:26.640
So we have really crazy like aerial
shots of forests and rivers and mountaintops and
301
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:33.119
like all kinds of stuff in here, borderline national geographical level kind of stuff.
302
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.279
So seeing it on a big screen
and it probably won't the way things
303
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.079
go with STM, it probably won't
screen on a big screen. Again,
304
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.759
like seeing it at the Palace is
going to be crazy. I'm really excited
305
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:49.759
to have this one in front of
an audience just because it is a little
306
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:56.759
different from the typical on the trail
of Bigfoot, because and on the trail
307
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.920
of Bigfoot, I typically in front
of the camera walking around in like these
308
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.680
places and we're doing bigfoot hunts or
whatever. There's less of that in these
309
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.079
Alaskan ones, but there's a reason
for that. We interviewed so many people.
310
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.480
And then also it's never it was
never dark, so it's not what
311
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.240
are you gonna do? Most people
want to see us out in the woods
312
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.440
after dark because it's spooky. It's
not dark like I'd go to bed at
313
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.079
in the middle of it. I'd
go to bed at one am, and
314
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:30.519
you wake up at six and it's
the same level of brightness outside. I'm
315
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.400
excited to get the movie out there, and it feels to me these Alaskan
316
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.000
ones. I don't know if other
people, maybe not, both the Alaska
317
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.920
ones, but I feel like it's
funny. I thought Last Frontier would be
318
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.400
the really personal one, and I
it is to some extent, like I
319
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:53.039
dedicated it to my mom and stuff. But this one almost feels more personal
320
00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:00.119
in a way which you'll see what
you watch it why that might be.
321
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:07.240
But this one and Journey to me
very much feel like film versions of sas
322
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:14.680
what that's because it's all there's a
lot of me like ruminating on the topic
323
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:22.039
and like where I feel like we're
going wrong or right with the stuff newer
324
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.759
listeners might not know. But Seth
and Mark Madski used to have a Bigfoot
325
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:33.400
theme podcast called sas What which is
What's Incredible? And Andy wasn't involved too.
326
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.240
I have a few follow up questions, So what happened with the black
327
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:45.599
suv? Or if you so,
no, I can tell you. So
328
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.839
I went. The way this happened
is I was staying at a primitive cabin
329
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.359
in the middle of nowhere. Okay, so like middle of the night,
330
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.319
I get up and walk outside and
nothing but a pair of boxers to take
331
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:03.559
a leak. And I'm standing there
and I'm looking at the ground or something.
332
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.720
I don't know what I was doing, but I was not looking straight
333
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.200
ahead, and when I looked up, I was facing the van or this
334
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.319
suv, not a van, this
black suv that shouldn't be there. I
335
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.640
messaged the landowner and asked if someone
had come back there, and they were
336
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.200
like no, so this suv was
just sitting there. I quickly ran inside,
337
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.880
called Alex and Eli, and at
some point between when Alex and Eli
338
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:34.599
got down there and when I called, this suv left, So by the
339
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.640
time I got down there, it
was gone. The weird thing was that
340
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:45.079
night, I just had a weird
vibe. I don't talk lightly about that
341
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.319
kind of stuff. I'm not into
vibes or whatever, but it was I
342
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.039
had a weird sense that night.
The only other night that I was staying
343
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:57.200
there where I had an equally weird
sense was there was a night where Courtney
344
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.359
was down there with me and we
where we had gone out on the front
345
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:11.839
porch and the door shut and when
the door to the cabin shut, it
346
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.839
has an automatic lock. And when
the door to the cabin shut, we
347
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.680
had, for some reason both left
our phones inside, so it locks.
348
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:30.359
I'm not wearing shoes and she wasn't
either, and so we're outside in Alaska.
349
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.160
We don't have a car key,
it's in the house. There aren't
350
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:40.319
really windows to the cabin. There
isn't really like a way we could break
351
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.559
a window out and sneak back.
It's a primitive like it's a hunting cabin.
352
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.160
So we're out in Alaska with no
knowledge. We could not remember what
353
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:56.640
the code was to get back in
the house, and I ended up considering
354
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.160
running two miles down the road to
the other airbnba to see if they could
355
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.880
get us inside barefoot. In thirty
degree whether Thankfully, somehow Courtney remembered the
356
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.240
code and we did get back inside. So that was one of our scarier
357
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:17.880
incidents. But yeah, nothing came
of the suv and nothing came of the
358
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.599
cries we heard or the sounds we
heard. And I'm pretty upfront about that.
359
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:30.119
Like the movie opens with that typical
Bigfoot stuff. Nothing happens, Wow,
360
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.039
but it's it was weird, and
it somehow felt like the right way
361
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:41.960
to open the movie. Just like
hinting at the idea that when you're in
362
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:49.039
Alaska, Heally is by the way, Healey's a tiny town, but you're
363
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:55.799
only probably fifteen minutes from the entrance
to Denali National Park, which is a
364
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.799
very touristy area in at least in
Alaskan terms. There's a couple of resorts
365
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.359
there, there's some restaurants and things
like that. Where we were down in
366
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.480
Healey's much less too risty. But
no matter where you are in Alaska,
367
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.799
you're gonna at some point you are
going to feel eerily isolated. And when
368
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.720
you actually put yourself in a situation
where you are completely isolated, which I
369
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:25.319
did with that primitive cabin had no
running water, We had electricity, but
370
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.720
no running water, and we were
probably two three miles from the closest house
371
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.319
in a place where there's giant brown
bears running around, there's moose crap all
372
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.960
over the property, where everywhere there's
links walking. We saw links the one
373
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:48.079
day driving out Everything there can kill
you and you feel that isolation really well.
374
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.400
I am a huge fan of that
Into the Wild story. When the
375
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.119
book came out, I was working
for my parents, and I can remember
376
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:02.839
sitting at my parents store and the
book when I should have been working before
377
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.680
the movie even came out. And
then the movie came out and I watched
378
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.319
the movie, and I love that. So that story has always spoke to
379
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.359
me. Landed The Missing ends with
a quote by Jack London and like,
380
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.599
when I was a kid, Alaska
was my thing. That was what I
381
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.920
wanted to do, That was where
I wanted to go. Was like that
382
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.559
was my bucketless place. That was
the main reason we ended up staying there
383
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.680
for seventeen days. We didn't actually
need seventeen days to film a movie.
384
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:34.200
We can film a movie in four
days. But I've always wanted to go
385
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.359
to Alaska, and now Alex and
eel I are both doing more there.
386
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.200
I am even more excited to see
this movie. And so, guys,
387
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.599
if you want to see this is
going to be amazing on the big screen.
388
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:52.279
All the info for a Monster Fests
over at small Town Monsters dot Com.
389
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:59.720
Alex is doing a full season of
a show. We have not yet
390
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.319
if this will be something that happens
again or if it's a mini series one
391
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:07.839
off. He's going to be doing
multiple episodes at Area A, and it's
392
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.799
not Beyond the Trail, it's something
a little more personal. It's going to
393
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:17.759
be directly from Alex's POV and it's
going to be all set at Area A.
394
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.960
He's gonna be in Alaska. He's
going to be on the way to
395
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:29.319
and from Alaska and in Alaska for
around six weeks, so coming up right
396
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:34.599
after Monsterfest. When he leaves Monsterfest, he's driving to Alaska. So once
397
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.720
he's in Alaska, he's going to
Aria A. He's doing the Boreal big
398
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.119
Foot Conference, and then he'll go
to Area A and he'll be at Area
399
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:46.039
A, parked at Area A for
two plus weeks, making an entire show
400
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:53.480
based around Area A. Wow.
He's also doing multiple episodes of Beyond the
401
00:33:53.519 --> 00:34:00.839
Trail in Alaska that aren't directly at
Area. This new series is not gonna
402
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.559
be like a thing where we're canceling
beyond the Trail in the meantime or putting
403
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.559
it on a hiatus. Beyond the
Trail is going to continue, and this
404
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:15.239
is going to run concurrent. I
can just tell you as of like August,
405
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.599
there's going to be one thing,
like one big series of week coming
406
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:27.079
out on YouTube. Eli will definitely
be shooting mysteries and monsters up in Alaska
407
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.559
as well, so both of them
are going to be doing your own separate
408
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.480
things up in that neck of the
woods. And then sometime in August.
409
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:40.360
Actually, I think the way we
haven't planned is some of Alex's stuff might
410
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:49.400
start hitting in July, but you'll
start seeing a large chunk of stuff from
411
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.559
us popping up on our YouTube around
August, where it will be like a
412
00:34:52.599 --> 00:35:00.159
weekly, big series because we also
have Sasquashed unearthed in West Virdge and you
413
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:07.159
are coming out starting this month later
this month. That is incredible, man,
414
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.480
I kid just can't imagine because like
Area a holy mackerel. You know
415
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:17.760
that the stuff didn't stop happening once
Alex and Eli and Ron and all those
416
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.760
guy's left that area. It's gonna
it's still going on right now, and
417
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.519
that is amazing that Alex is gonna
be up there for that amount of time.
418
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.559
It's almost like an awac A situation
with Area X, where it's like
419
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.880
you get them in there for a
long time past the normal time where the
420
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:44.920
sasquatchs think they're gonna leave, and
then that's when the craziest stuff really starts.
421
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.639
I think I think they I don't
think they do leave, And I
422
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:54.039
think this is why this kind of
thing. I mean that when let's say
423
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.840
the people visiting the area leave,
not to send the sasquatcher there. They're
424
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.880
not leaving. Yeah, yeah,
but I think that's why this kind of
425
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:08.880
thing is actually much more a much
more realistic approach to actually train to find
426
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:16.719
answers than chasing sighting reports. I
had the same thing happened in Minerva.
427
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:22.719
It's just it happened for a very
specific reason at that period of time.
428
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.159
I think we've nailed down why it
happened at this point. The name.
429
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.039
I don't want to get off on
a tangent though, because you're please,
430
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:36.800
I'd be very interested as to what
you had figured out. So yeah,
431
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.239
for listeners who don't know. We
did a series called Bigfoot Project. The
432
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:46.480
Bigfoot Project. Heather Moser's family lives
on a pretty sizable chunk of property outside
433
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.599
of Minerva, Ohio, where there
is a history of sightings going back some
434
00:36:52.679 --> 00:37:00.760
ways. We started going their last
not this past but the previous September,
435
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:07.360
and pretty much immediately had activity.
We had a lot of activity, and
436
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:13.000
it lasted a certain number of months
and then just died, like completely died.
437
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:21.519
There was no there's nothing. So
right before Heather notified me that there
438
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.559
was strange stuff happening on the property, the neighboring property, which was far
439
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.760
larger, a much larger chunk of
forest, started being clear cut for a
440
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:36.960
TV trails. Our assumption is that
these things, we're trying to find a
441
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.440
place to go. They headed over
to this property where there is forest,
442
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:47.280
but maybe not as dense, there's
not as much like water. They end
443
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.239
upon this property where I happened to
be like it's like the most coincidental thing,
444
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:58.119
but it all fell into place,
so like I end up there.
445
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:07.119
We had activity. We started experiencing
things in September. By November, the
446
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.639
leaf canopies down there were still odd
happenings, which is why we made two
447
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:19.000
more episodes after the leaf Canopy help
came down, but it was definitely dying
448
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:28.400
off. Now they're clear cutting the
pipelines. Okay, within at how there's
449
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.599
property and so literally I wish I
had the photo, but are a way
450
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:37.360
to show you the photo. But
even where I had my sighting, it's
451
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:43.639
completely clear cut right now and there
are bulldozers all over the hill. It
452
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:47.679
was like the right place, right
time with all the construction happening on the
453
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.760
property. There's also the fact that
in the very first episode, Corey said
454
00:38:53.119 --> 00:39:00.079
that the guy that owns as the
property said that they're developing land on the
455
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.199
other side of the hill from where
the property is. I think these things
456
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.639
happened actually far more frequently and states
like Ohio than people realize. I think
457
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.519
these things are far more prevalent or
were far more prevalent in Ohio and other
458
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.519
states like Ohio than people realize.
But they are getting pushed. I think
459
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:22.039
they're getting pushed into more. They're
constantly being pushed out of certain areas,
460
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:30.920
like near where stm was previously located
in Wadsworth, there was there were all
461
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.679
these stories about the river stix Monster
and Mark the Worth, who's like a
462
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.639
Bigfoot investigator in Ohio. His uncle
had a sighting near Riverstis. If you
463
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.360
go to River Sticks today. I
just drove through it in the last two
464
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:51.199
weeks. It's completely developed, but
it wasn't like that, even in the
465
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:57.119
last ten years. It wasn't like
that. So it's it happens fast,
466
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:06.199
and I think when it happens,
you see a natural sort of disappearance of
467
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:12.280
the reports from that area. That
kind of thing happen exactly. If listeners
468
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:16.239
haven't watched The Bigfoot Project yet,
you need to go back a little bit
469
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.800
and you need to take the time
to watch it. It's very cool and
470
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:24.119
you get to see set book it
after. I'm not going to spoil it
471
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:28.519
for you, but he's it's pretty
awesome. The whole series is. It's
472
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.599
one of my favorites. There is
one thing that I want to make sure
473
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:39.920
that we touch on that we haven't
really yet, and that is this Monster
474
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.760
Fest is so unique in that they
are going to be guests there. People
475
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.480
you've invited that have never will probably
not go to one of these things again.
476
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:55.400
I think people really need to get
that this might be the one chance
477
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.679
to meet some of these people and
for them to have that connection. Do
478
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:05.840
you mind sharing who's some of the
really unique individuals that you've invited to come
479
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:12.280
to Monster Fest would be Lauren Coleman
is going to be speaking and appearing at
480
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.320
the event. Same with Stan Gordon, who's like a Pennsylvania researcher. He's
481
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:21.920
going to be appearing and speaking.
Cliff Barrickman from Finding big Foot, Richard
482
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:27.360
Haddam, who is the screenwriter on
Mothman Prophecies, will be there. Amy
483
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:31.199
Boo, who is in the Olympic
Project and she's a really great Ohio based
484
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:35.400
researcher. She's going to be speaking. She'll be there. We're only having
485
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:39.800
four speakers, which is why I'm
mentioning this The event is much more geared
486
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:47.119
around your personal, like Congoer's personal
interaction with these people rather than just focusing
487
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.079
on listening to them. Lyle Blackburn's
going to be there. He's not speaking,
488
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.320
which, like to some people would
be a surprise, but I want
489
00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.480
people to be able to go talk
to Lotle oh Yes, Forrest and Scott
490
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:06.119
from A Stonishing Legends, Jim Harold, Shannon LeGrow, Eli Watson, Alexander
491
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:12.280
Pennikov, Aaron Deese who just wrote
Oh Yeah, Texas dog Man Triangle book
492
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:15.519
that is being published byshal Monti Monsters. Mark Matski will be there, Adam
493
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.920
Dugan who's been in munch of bart
movies, Jeremiah Byron who you may have
494
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:24.000
heard of from the Bigfoot Society podcast, and then me but there's also Heather
495
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.519
Moser will be there. All the
STM crew will be there, including Brandon
496
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.760
Dalo who we're flying it, which
is awesome that they've gotten Brandon coming out.
497
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.559
He's the music guy if people don't
know, he's the composer of the
498
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:42.159
music that's in all of your favorite
STM movies, etc. Yeah, he'll
499
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.760
be there, and his dad will
be there, which his dad's running our
500
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:52.039
av so his dad is like a
legend in the Kenton music scene. By
501
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:59.599
the way, nice but it is. Yeah, it's the cancelation is just
502
00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:05.000
in Turnipesky. It's not going to
work out. So I have not yet
503
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:07.440
figured out if I'm going to pull
a surprise on everybody and get someone else
504
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:15.039
involved, but as of now that
is our guestless. I should mention the
505
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:22.719
live podcast room. There's a full
on podcast, a live podcast room that
506
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:31.159
will have multiple live podcasts, including
Bigfoot Society, Sasquash Experience with Sean Forker,
507
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:45.119
Astonishing Legends, Jim Harold, and
then Laura's Show is a sort yeah.
508
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:50.719
Yes, the events free for kids
twelve and under, so we're doing
509
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.199
like a there's gonna be a scavenger
hunt and other like all ages friendly stuff.
510
00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:02.360
Nice. It's a family oriented event. I've recently said this to the
511
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:06.599
crew at the end of the day. STM is supposed to be geared around
512
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.400
family like it was from the beginning, and I don't want us to become
513
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:17.039
lost in the shuffle of making scary
movies and then forget about who our main
514
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.880
audiences. I want kids to be
able to get into the stuff. There's
515
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.800
gonna be a lot going on,
but it's definitely a family friendly event.
516
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.800
I'm so pumped. And listeners is
going to be the links to where to
517
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:38.599
get this info in the show notes. If you want to go, it'll
518
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.079
be less than thirty days. It's
going to be a few days, less
519
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:45.719
than thirty days by the time this
gets out. You need to immediately buy
520
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.119
your ticket and immediately try to get
a hotel room as quick as you can
521
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:54.719
before we go sets, we have
a few more minutes. One of the
522
00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:00.840
features you have coming out this year
is your British Columbia project, and you
523
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:08.480
share maybe one little thing that you
are just extremely excited about being able to
524
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:14.760
do in British Columbia once you go
out there. Yeah, I know.
525
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.800
Mark was just at my house last
last week and him and I we're talking
526
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:24.719
about this. The idea that where
we're going is when you look at it
527
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.480
on a map and you look at
the historical Bigfoot accounts, so much happened
528
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:34.880
within that area. That is mind
blowing because you've got this is the place.
529
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.800
So we're actually going to be at
We're staying in the Harrison, the
530
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:44.079
Harrison Valley. No it's not Harrison
Valley, I can't remember the name.
531
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:50.360
It's a valley. Harrison Hot Springs
is right there, which is where John
532
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:58.000
Green was. And then we're staying
within fifteen minutes of Ruby Creek, and
533
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:05.039
then you're not that far from like
the Albert Austman sighting, and like when
534
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:12.840
you start really looking at it,
this is the place where the Sasquatch moniker
535
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:17.320
came into focus. Like people only
know about it because of this area,
536
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.360
and so that's the name for me. It was always about John Green,
537
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:27.840
and I've learned some things about John
Green while I was researching this movie,
538
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.559
just some extent that I'm interested in
trying to explore. I don't know if
539
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.719
we're going to get to but just
as a person and how he was viewed
540
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:42.079
by his family that I'm interested in. It's not as positive as I would
541
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:47.480
have expected, but I've always felt
like sasquatch researchers, especially those that get
542
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:53.000
really deep into it, inevitably somehow
destroyed their relationship with their family. And
543
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:59.039
that's important to me right now because
I don't know if it's just because of
544
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.400
my son or my mom or what
it is. But like, I'm sure
545
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:06.840
I'm going to come at that from
some sort of angle when I get into
546
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:14.440
the narration of it. Anytime I
can find a really personal angle to take
547
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:19.079
on this stuff within the context of
On the Trail of Bigfoot, it excites
548
00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:23.880
me because that's the whole point of
the series. Otherwise we might as well
549
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:29.239
just keep making spooky legend, right. It seems like that's going to be
550
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:31.239
where I'm coming at this from.
I know we are doing an ATV,
551
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.559
an ATV expedition one day that will
take us around a place called Sasquash Mountain,
552
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:46.239
and then I know we're doing a
nighttime boat ride down the river near
553
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:52.800
there that I'm excited about. So
those are the adventure things. But we're
554
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:57.760
going to go to Ruby Creek.
We're going to interview a lot of people
555
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:04.880
locally, and the area is gorgeous. It almost reminds me when I'm looking
556
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.320
at it, it reminds me of
a cross between the Olympic Peninsula and like
557
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.679
the Rockies. Excited to see that
as well. But listeners, make sure
558
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:17.519
that if you're interested in the monster
Fest stuff we've been talking about at all,
