1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to BIGFA Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.560
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society, Welcome

11
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.759
back to another show. We have the privilege of talking

12
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.200
to Doris today. Welcome to the show. Doris. How are

13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:40.840
you doing today?

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.359
I'm doing great, beautiful spring day today, loving it absolutely.

15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.320
A little bit about Doris Dorris is a artist, our

16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.039
educator in a it sounds like lifelong environmentalist.

17
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.240
Yep correct, yep, sure, am, And you've done it.

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.439
Sounds like you've done a lot of work in that garden.

19
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.719
We might even talk about that later, but we got connected.

20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.239
Regarding some interesting experiences you've had happen over the years

21
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:16.760
in around I would say I would say western Maryland.

22
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.560
Western Maryland and eastern part of West Virginia fantastic.

23
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.719
Is there anything else you would want the listeners to

24
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.200
know for context about yourself before we get going.

25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.799
Not too much, just that I'm an artist. I like

26
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.959
to do plane air painting, and I do watercolor painting.

27
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.200
And I also care a lot about the environment. I

28
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:45.640
volunteer for a nonprofit that does water testing all summer long,

29
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.560
and we collect water and they do testing to make

30
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.879
sure the water is safe for swimming and for recreating.

31
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.159
And I just enjoy being outside. I bicycle on the

32
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.840
c and O Canal quite often. I do day trips

33
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.280
and I do long trips. I do you know overnights

34
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.879
on the canal? And my husband and I have camped

35
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.000
for many, many years. Our kids grew up camping, and

36
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.039
when I was a kid, I lived in Baltimore, in

37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.520
the city. I grew up in the city and my

38
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.120
dad they didn't have a lot of money, but every summer,

39
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.879
my dad would take us out to one of the

40
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.800
state parks or the Eastern Shore and we would go

41
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.639
fishing and biking and camping. So it's sort of been

42
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.719
a lifelong, lifelong thing for me. And for my family,

43
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.199
I kind of took that over to my kids, you know,

44
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.319
and took them places every summer with my kids, I

45
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.719
took them out west, or I took them somewhere for

46
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.479
a month. I said it was mom's summer camp. So

47
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:41.840
we've done a lot out in the outdoors.

48
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.080
Yeah, well that's awesome. And when you say out west,

49
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.360
were you going like West Coast or how far out western?

50
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.439
The first year I took them they were really small.

51
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.599
We went to the Grand Canyon. I've taken them to

52
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.599
Rocky Mountain National Park, taken them to Glacier National Park.

53
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:02.719
We've been also to Nova Scoce in Canada, and all

54
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.439
around this area in Maryland up to the east coast

55
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.360
to Maine. So I take them to different places every summer.

56
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.879
So I really wanted them to see how beautiful our

57
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.280
country is, and I really wanted them to respect the environment.

58
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.719
So that's what I did for them for every summer.

59
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.520
So how did you get involved with becoming an environmentalist?

60
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.360
Just because I just cared about what was going on

61
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.039
with with things going on in their environment. I mean,

62
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.000
over the years, being old, I've seen a lot of

63
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.879
changes in our environment, and so I've always tried to

64
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.120
keep a tap on what's going on. And then several

65
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.159
years ago out in western Maryland, they wanted to put

66
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.479
a gas pipeline underneath the Cno Canal and then underneath

67
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.800
the Potomac River. So I was with a group and

68
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.960
that we decided that we did not really think this

69
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.599
was a good thing. This area of the Cno Canal,

70
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.840
and this actually area of Maryland and West Virginia has

71
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.919
Kars geology. The geology there is very brittle, there's a

72
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.280
lot of limestone and things, and when they put in

73
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.160
these pipelines, the they can they use like fracking fluid

74
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.199
to dig underneath and if they have a blowout, all

75
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.920
those chemicals can go into the river, to the Potomac River.

76
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.040
So we did actually the state of Maryland because Maryland

77
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.839
does own the Potomac River, so they did the governor

78
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.759
did stop that from going through, which we were happy about.

79
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.360
So so the protest did work. So they do work sometimes.

80
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.959
That's fantastic. Good for you.

81
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.920
P Fast right now is a big problem when in

82
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.879
our water. Every year I test my my drinking water

83
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.600
because we live in a community with a group well

84
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.800
and I test it and every year it seems to

85
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.519
get the p fast chemicals seem to get worse and

86
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.399
they are cancer causing. So and I really they want

87
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.040
to educate people about you know the environment and try

88
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.199
to protect people. They should try to filter their water,

89
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.319
make sure their wells get tested every year, have someone

90
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.680
come out and just take care of them and make

91
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.240
sure everything is okay for drinking because if you're drink

92
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.480
in bad water, it can make it real, real sick.

93
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.279
So absolutely, what is p fast.

94
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.399
It is chemicals and they put it on It was

95
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.399
also used for firefighting foam. It was in the foam

96
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.079
for firefighting, and it's they put it on like tents

97
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.959
and clothing. A lot of a lot of the plastics

98
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.680
that we use to wrap up our food that come

99
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.600
in as p fast. It comes in shampoo. I mean

100
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.720
it's it's called Forever chemicals. You can look it up online.

101
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.040
It's very very dangerous chemical. And we have not been

102
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.240
able to get our government to stop producing these. A

103
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.079
lot of companies on their own have stopped using the

104
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:06.319
chemicals in outdoor in outdoor wear and you know, outdoor

105
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.319
tentting material and that kind of thing, which is really good.

106
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.199
So and now farmers are trying to use this bio

107
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.000
chemical to put on their their fields. And this stuff

108
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.800
is very bad. It can get into the food and

109
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.959
they're saying now fruits and vegetables ninety percent of fruits

110
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.839
and vegetables and now have some kind of small amount

111
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.079
of pfat in it. And these are all building up

112
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.399
in our body and they are cancer causing. So I

113
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.879
hope that people can, you know, can learn about it

114
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.079
and if you have a well, get your well tested

115
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.279
and get some filters that can help you be safer.

116
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.639
So so anyway, it's been it's been good to try

117
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.480
to help the environment. I really do care about the environment.

118
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.759
So that's which is which is we need it right

119
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.360
now for sure. And it is an interesting pattern that

120
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.879
comes up. One I talked to individuals that are you know,

121
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.279
into the Bigfoot subject, and they have those connections in

122
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:13.639
some of them even end up becoming uh I guess

123
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.360
you could say environmentalist as well, to try to protect

124
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.120
the area that the Bigfoot are in or to try

125
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.040
to clear, you know, clean up trash. I've heard individuals

126
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.839
get really involved, you know, they're they're told in different

127
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.879
ways to clean up the trash in certain areas and

128
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.879
to just help out the environment, which is I think

129
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:33.759
it's pretty.

130
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.240
Cool sasquatch really is. I think they are keepers of

131
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.000
our of our earth. I do. I think that there

132
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.839
are brothers. I think that that they are human. There

133
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.079
are people, you know there, and I think that it's

134
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.680
really important for people to understand that they are there

135
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.920
and they're looking out for us and they're looking out

136
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.800
for Earth. And after I realized like all these experiences

137
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.240
that I was having was that I couldn't explain, I

138
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.199
was like, oh, this is really really like crazy. But

139
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.839
how I figured out was because of your podcast. My

140
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.240
dad and my sister passed away ten days apart in

141
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.800
twenty twenty four, and so I was having a real

142
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.759
rough time. So I would go on YouTube and I

143
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.279
like history and art and that kind of thing, environmental stuff,

144
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:27.959
and so Paul Wallace's podcast came up. That's called The

145
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.200
Fifth Kind TV Paul Wallace, and he's a minister in

146
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.639
Australia and he has gone back and looked at the

147
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:41.279
Bible and the history, ancient history, and he has really

148
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.600
confirmed for me that the Bible is full of extraterrestrials,

149
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.919
it's full of flying saucers, and that we have basically

150
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.480
as humans lost lost our history, you know, we were

151
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.080
good at forgetting. So so that got me interested in

152
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.279
watching that. And then your podcast came up and I

153
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.600
started watching your podcast and I was like, Oh, this

154
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.679
is really interesting because there's lots of things like people

155
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.720
were describing that had happened to me that I didn't

156
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.799
really realize. I just you know, put it off as Oh, yeah,

157
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.120
in the woods, strange things happen. You know, every time

158
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.120
in the woods weird sometimes weird things happen. So so

159
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:24.320
I was listening to some podcasts and I heard the

160
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.919
sounds of what Big Flow was and I looked at

161
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.080
and I played it for my husband and I said, Greg,

162
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.399
these are the sounds that we heard in Cooper's Rock

163
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.519
National Forest in West Virginia, and we were camping there.

164
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.480
This was in twenty seventeen, and my husband, he's a

165
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.080
motorcycle journalist, and we were going there to visit a

166
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.600
museum for him to do a story. So we went

167
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.759
out there and we stopped there at the Cooper's Rock

168
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.679
National Forest. They have a very nice campground there. It's small,

169
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.600
but it's really nice. They actually have two, but we

170
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.519
were in the one that was closer to the road,

171
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.200
and I liked the that that area because they have

172
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:06.480
the conservation. Civilian Conservation Cores in nineteen thirty six built

173
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.639
a lot of these parks and the structures are beautiful,

174
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.000
and they built the cabins and the picnic areas of

175
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.159
big stones and logs and all of that. But during

176
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.360
the Great Depression, after the Great Depression, they were putting

177
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.279
people back to work by doing that, So I thought

178
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.399
it was really cool. So we stopped there and there's

179
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.080
this beautiful lookout. There's a big rock that has the

180
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.679
Conservation Corps built a walkway over to it, and you

181
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.879
can go out and you can see you stand on

182
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.039
this rock and you can see across the if you

183
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.600
look down as the Sheet River, and then you can

184
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.240
see the mountain across. You're basically standing on the mountain

185
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.960
and you look across there's another mountain there. So we

186
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.000
were camping there. I think we stayed there two nights.

187
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.879
It was the mid October and twenty seventeen, and we

188
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.840
were in our little tear drop camper. My husband and

189
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.200
I had built a couple tier drop campers over the years,

190
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.840
and we were sitting around I guess it was eight

191
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.639
nine o'clock at night, and we had a campfire going

192
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:07.159
and we were just hanging out, chatting away, and it

193
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.200
is on the side of the mountain, and the campground

194
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.600
is very was not very big. There was only three

195
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.480
of us. I think it was during the week. It

196
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.000
was only three people in the campground. It was some

197
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.159
couple in a Class A that was camped a couple

198
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.559
sites away from us than it was us in their

199
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.080
little tear drop. And then I could see across the

200
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.399
camp site that there was someone in a car camping

201
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.320
and that was the only people that were in the campground,

202
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.720
and Greg and I were the only people that were

203
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.759
out that were having the campfire. So so all of

204
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.440
a sudden, to the left of us, like down in

205
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.159
the down the mountain, I guess it's probably quarter a

206
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.039
mile away, we hear coyote sounds. And I'm like, I mean,

207
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.720
it was dead quiet because it's October. There's no birds

208
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.919
or frogs or anything because it's fall. And this coyotes

209
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.480
just howl away. And I looked at my husband and said, oh,

210
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.720
there's coyotes around here. That's kind of interesting. So no,

211
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.279
sooner did that stop. And then I heard this whoop

212
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.679
whoo whoop, and which was to the right of us

213
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.519
in our camp in the campground, and it was much closer. Well,

214
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:10.960
the hair stood up on my neck. I looked at

215
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.960
my husband and I said, I don't know what this is.

216
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.360
I don't know any animal that makes that sound. And

217
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.120
I said, the hair is standing up on my neck.

218
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.000
On my neck, I said, I think it's time to

219
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.279
get to bed. So so we put out the fire

220
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.240
and we went to bed. And I didn't know about Bigfoot.

221
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.080
I had no clue, you know. I thought Bigfoot was

222
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.840
just a mythical creature or a folk tale or something

223
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.399
like that. I just really didn't know. So then I

224
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.840
started listening to your podcast and I was like, well, hm,

225
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:41.639
I listened to a couple. I was like, wonder what

226
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.720
they sound like. And I went and played the sounds

227
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.519
of Bigfoot and I said to my husband, oh my gosh,

228
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.919
we saw bigfoot. And I'm like, that's really cool. So

229
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.000
I said, you know, it said to him, I said,

230
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.080
but there was all these other kind of weird things

231
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.879
that happened to us while we were camping. And I

232
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.720
told him, I said, I said, I don't know, these

233
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.600
are unexplained things. It has to have explanation to this.

234
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.000
So a couple of years ago, it was the early

235
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.600
two thousands, our kids were little. We would always do

236
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.879
a fall camping trip with another family. They had three

237
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.720
kids and we had three kids, and we had two

238
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.159
other couples that came with us and they would hang

239
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.240
out with us for a weekend. We do a weekend

240
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.080
like a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And I can't remember which

241
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.159
year it was because we didn't have digital photos and

242
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.919
I didn't dig through all of our photos to see

243
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.519
if I could find a picture, but it was the

244
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.279
early two thousands because my kids were little, they were small.

245
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.240
So we went to Greenbrier State Park, which is in

246
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:48.039
Washington County, Maryland, and we were having a campfire, big campfire,

247
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.000
the flames, you know, big. The kids were all running around.

248
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.440
We're having a beer two, We're being loud. My friend

249
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.320
likes to camp. He likes to play music, so we

250
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:02.720
were playing music and all of a sudden, we heard

251
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.879
this cracking sound and it was like a tree. You know,

252
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.840
when you win a tree falls, you hear the roots

253
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.320
being pulled up. It was like crack, crack, And I'm

254
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.279
praying as soon as I heard it. I'm like, a

255
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.639
tree is going to fall, and it's like right next

256
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.279
to us. We were in a campsite that was on

257
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.440
the corner and across the road was a little hill

258
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.480
that kind of went up a little incline, and I'm thinking,

259
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.159
please God, don't let this tree fall into our campsite.

260
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.879
You know, we have the kids here, We're all hanging out,

261
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.000
and I'm like praying in my head. So all of

262
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.000
a sudden, and while I'm saying this, the cracking. The

263
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.600
cracking sound was like comically long. It was like it

264
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.320
went on for like a really long time, like this

265
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.200
tree was taking its good old time falling right. So

266
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.720
finally it falls and we hear bam, and we all

267
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.639
look at each other. It was like, thank God, this

268
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.159
tree did not fall in our campsite. So, you know,

269
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.639
we hung out a little while longer, you know, and

270
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.559
finally went to bed. So the next morning, I wake up,

271
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.080
I come out. The kids want breakfast and I'm getting

272
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.399
them stuff. So I come out of my tent. I

273
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.480
look over on that hill. There is no fallen tree, nothing,

274
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.840
And I looked, I'm like, what is that all about.

275
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.279
I'm like, because I could hear the tree was right

276
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.600
across the road on that hill, and I said to

277
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.600
my husband, I'm like, that is bizarre. There is no

278
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.039
fallen tree. Plus we were in a state park, and

279
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.039
most of the state parks have the DNR come through,

280
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.159
you know, when they clear out the trees that are

281
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.679
going to fall, you know that are bad and that

282
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.600
you know because there's going to be people there, so

283
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.240
they're always kind of clearing up stuff. And I just

284
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.360
thought that was strange. And I'd never heard of like

285
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.399
a story where, you know, Bigfoot could make sounds like that,

286
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.480
you know, so i'd you know, I figured, I don't

287
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.360
know what it was, but I but I mean, I'm

288
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.879
pretty sure that that it had something to do with

289
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:05.399
Bigfoot because I had another experience in twenties. Twenty twenty three.

290
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.480
I went on a bicycle on the Cno Canal all

291
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.399
the time, and I have every cumbent trike gets two

292
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.919
wheels in the front and one in the back. And

293
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.799
I did the whole Cno Canal from Cumberland to d

294
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.480
C in twenty twenty and then in twenty twenty three,

295
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.600
I just wanted to It was the summer, it was August,

296
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.519
and I remember it was we had a little cold

297
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.879
front come through, so the weather was going to be like,

298
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.559
I don't know, seventy five, it's eighty five. The weather

299
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.480
was going to be perfect. And I said to my husband,

300
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.440
he was working at the time, it was before he retired.

301
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.320
I said, I'm just going to go take a couple

302
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.480
of nights and bike up the canal to Hancock and

303
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.600
will you pick me up in a couple of days.

304
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.399
And he said, yeah, I'll pick you up, no problem.

305
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.919
So he dropped me off in Brunswick and I biked

306
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:52.039
up the Cino Canal going west and I went up

307
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.559
and I biked over the Antietam Creek, which is an

308
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.360
old aqueduct. I biked over that, I passed Antietam Campground,

309
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.599
and then I biked up to the end of where

310
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.640
the bridge goes across. There's canal Road follows that area.

311
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.440
There's a canal road that follows it called Canal Road.

312
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.319
And when you get to the end of that, the

313
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.920
canal road goes up the big hill there up the

314
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.400
bluff and there's Route thirty four and on the one

315
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.000
the other side of the river is Shepherdstown, West Virginia,

316
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.200
and then on the if you go two miles into

317
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.440
Sharpsburg on thirty four. It's not far from Sharpsburg. But

318
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.440
I have to tell you a little bit about Sharpsburg.

319
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:44.880
Sharpsburg is where the Battle of Antietam happened in eighteen

320
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.319
sixty two September seventeenth, eighteen sixty two. It was the

321
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:53.160
bloodiest battle of the Civil War. I every time we

322
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.279
go there in my ears ring, I can't like stay

323
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.079
there for very long. I've tried. They've had painting, like

324
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.599
planar painting outings there and I would go there and

325
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.799
I could only stay for a little while because it

326
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.079
was just so it's just I don't know how to

327
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.640
explain it. It's just noisy. I don't know if there's

328
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:13.799
people that are sensitive to spirit or whatever. I just

329
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.960
go there and I just it's just really really noisy.

330
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.799
So we have that going on, which is like two

331
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.079
miles from the campsite that I that I bike to.

332
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:30.759
So I bike to the to underneath the Route thirty

333
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.160
four the bridge, and it's two miles to the hiker

334
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.200
biker campsite. So the way it's laid out is on

335
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.400
the right is a big bluff and it's got caves

336
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.960
in it because it's called Killing'sburg Cave. And during that

337
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.599
Antietam Civil War battle, a lot of the people, the

338
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.640
townspeople in Sharpsburg came there and they stayed in the

339
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.759
caves for several days because of the battle. They didn't

340
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.400
they wanted to get their kids. The women and the

341
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.440
kids came there because they felt safe. So so it's

342
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.279
kind of eerie. It's kind of an eerie area anyway.

343
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.480
But then so I'm biking. I biked down and I

344
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.680
saw a man who was doing a through hike on

345
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.640
the Discovery American Discovery Trail and he was going to

346
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.559
walk across the country. So I stopped talked to him

347
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:18.319
for a while and he goes, oh, yeah, I'm going

348
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.359
to stay at that camp site tonight. And I said,

349
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.519
oh good. I said, then I won't be by myself.

350
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.920
That'll be good. So so I camp went down and

351
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.039
I set up my tent and I did some drawing,

352
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.960
made dinner, made myself some food, and then it was

353
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.720
guess it was starting to get dark, and there was

354
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.759
another guy that like that was on a bicycle and

355
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.440
he came into the camp site. He goes, I bike

356
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.200
from DC today eighty five miles, we must be exhausted.

357
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.599
So he had a he had a hammock. And the

358
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.200
way the Hiker Biker Campsite is set up is that

359
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.039
there's two levels to it because you have the bluff

360
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.359
where the where the caves are. Then there's a dip

361
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.400
where the Cno Canal was. Some times there's water in it,

362
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.400
sometimes it's dry. Now it has trees and stuff growing

363
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.319
in it. Different areas have water, some areas do, some

364
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.839
areas don't. And then there's the towpath which you ride on.

365
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.240
And then there I went down like four feet and

366
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.640
was the top of that Hiker Biker campsite, and then

367
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.119
down about ten more feet was another lower part of

368
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.400
the Hiker Biker Campsite that sat right on the Potomac River,

369
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.359
so you could see the whole Potomac from there. I

370
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.920
mean they were like two feet from the river. So

371
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.039
they both, both those guys were down there, and I

372
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:35.599
set up my tent at the top because I have

373
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.839
a strike. I couldn't get my bike down there anyway,

374
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:42.240
so I was more at the top. So so I

375
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.200
chatted with this guy for a little while. So he

376
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:46.680
set up his hammock. And then when it gets dark,

377
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.480
and I've biked all day. I'm tired because I'm an

378
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.400
old lady, so I need to need to get my rest.

379
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:52.759
So I went to bed. I guess it was like

380
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.799
eight o'clock. I fell asleep, so I guess it was

381
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.519
about I don't know, ten or eleven o'clock. I guess

382
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:05.319
it's eleven o'clock. I was awakened by this huge splashing

383
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.599
sound in the river. There was a bend and you

384
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.359
couldn't really see down the river. It was very close

385
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.119
to the campsite, which was like, wow, this is crazy.

386
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.000
But what it sounded like is there were like people

387
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.720
in there and they looked it sounded like they were

388
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.359
smacking their hands on the top of the water. Do

389
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.720
you know how loud that is? When you smack open hand,

390
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.160
you smack it on the top of the water, It's

391
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.599
like really loud. So this went on for hours. I

392
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.200
mean I did finally fall back to sleep. So it

393
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.279
went on for hours and hours, and I didn't. I

394
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.519
was like, well, I don't carry a lot of equipment.

395
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.319
I didn't have any big flashlight. I mean, I could

396
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.000
have walked down the canal and pointed my flashlight down,

397
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.599
but it's all treed and there's bushes. I might not

398
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.480
have been able to see down to the river because

399
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:54.559
it's a drop, you know, a fifteen twenty foot drop there,

400
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.519
so I probably couldn't have seen anything anyway. But I

401
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:01.279
didn't have a flashlight on me. So so I wake

402
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.519
up in the morning. Finally stops. I mean, but it

403
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:05.680
was hours. It was like four or five hours. And

404
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.839
all I can think of is that it had to

405
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.359
be bigfoot sasquatch, either there in a family or more

406
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.400
than one, because it was very, very loud, and I

407
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.839
think they were fishing. I think they were taking their

408
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.400
hands and trying to grab fish. I think that that's

409
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.880
what they were doing, is fishing in the in the river.

410
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.640
So I wake up in the morning, I guess about seven.

411
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.000
I made myself breakfast. I packed up my bag and

412
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.200
put and my tent and put everything back on the

413
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.359
trike and I start triking. And a trike's a lot

414
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.359
slower than a bike. I just take my time because

415
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.400
I like, I'm like a biker tourist. I need to

416
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.559
look at the trees and see the animals, and early

417
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.160
in the morning there's deer and all of that. So

418
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:49.160
it was really nice. So I guess an hour an

419
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.640
hour and a half in this. The guy that came

420
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.960
later in the evening bicycle, he was going really fast

421
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.039
like he's trying to catch me, and he was biking

422
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:58.880
really fast, and he pulled his bike in front of

423
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.400
my trike so I couldn't move. And he said, did

424
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.680
you hear all that noise in the river last night?

425
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.920
He goes, Oh, my god, all night long it went

426
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.160
one for hours. He says, I swear it was a bear.

427
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:10.839
And I said to him, I said, I don't know

428
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.160
what it was, but I don't think it was a bear.

429
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.000
And this is before I knew about, you know, sasquatch

430
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.799
and the kinds of things how they live, and the

431
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.720
places that they go and the things that they do.

432
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.160
So he said, I said, well, I don't know how

433
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.279
a bear would get there, because it's two and two

434
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.400
miles from Sharpsburg and Shepherdstown on the canal, and it's

435
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.079
this big bluff. There's no way to come down there.

436
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.400
The only way you could get out of there was

437
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.680
to go one direction or the other, and the other

438
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.720
direction was a mile and a half to Snyder's landing.

439
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.559
And I said a bear would have to walk down

440
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:49.960
the canal to get in this walk to get in

441
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.200
the water, and I said, it's a twenty foot drop.

442
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.200
I just don't see how a bear, a black bear,

443
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:56.440
is going to be able to do that from. And

444
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.599
there are black bears here in Maryland, but when they

445
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.799
see people, unless they have their protecting babies, they're gone.

446
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.359
They don't mess with people at all. They're like, see

447
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.920
you later. So so I said to him, he says, well,

448
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:11.480
what do you think it was? I said, I have

449
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:13.240
no clue what it was. He says, but it went

450
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.160
on for hours, he says, I didn't get a wink

451
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.559
of sleep, and and I said, yeah, man, it was.

452
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.960
It was really really loud. So I just kept on

453
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.039
on my tour and just kind of forgot about it

454
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:29.480
because I didn't really know about bigfoot at all. But

455
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.599
I didn't know what it was. I mean, I was

456
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.519
thinking maybe it could have been like a beaver or something,

457
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.720
but there's no beavers in that river, in that river

458
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.279
because it's big, you know. I just didn't couldn't. And

459
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.039
it was so loud. It was like it was like

460
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.799
a family. There's like a people. It was like a

461
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.119
lot of people in the river, splashing around so, and

462
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:50.759
this is the same area where someone just reported that

463
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:57.279
they saw a bigfoot family crossing Canal Road from they

464
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.799
were leaving Antietam Campground at midnight. This was just a

465
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.400
couple of weeks ago that that happened, And so it

466
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:09.519
makes me even more confident that this was sasquatch in

467
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:14.400
the water being there, you know, because I've never seen sasquatch,

468
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.000
but it just seems like there's this these different strange

469
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.039
things have have always kind of happened and that I

470
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.240
couldn't explain. But this, this explains it. You know, this

471
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.000
really does kind of tie it all together. They called

472
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.640
it River Road. River Road is the road that's across

473
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.359
in West Virginia. It's called Canal Road because it follows

474
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:40.720
the Cno Canal for like four miles there right along

475
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:46.559
the Cno Canal between right there between Antietam Campground and

476
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:50.960
then up to where Route thirty four bridges across. And

477
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:54.079
they basically it was it was just a few weeks ago.

478
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.599
They basically said that somebody was leaving that campground at midnight.

479
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:02.200
They were in their car and they were going down

480
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.279
the road and they had it they stopped because there

481
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:06.920
was a family there was like four three or four

482
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.559
bigfoot in the road and they crossed the road in

483
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.319
front of them, and he said he just kind of

484
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.799
stopped and was frozen. And then they crossed the road

485
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:17.680
there and one of the big places was holding something

486
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.640
and it looked like maybe it could have been a baby.

487
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.480
It could have been a baby. And this was just

488
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.640
a few weeks ago, I mean like a month ago,

489
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.920
maybe three four weeks.

490
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.720
Okay, And this would have been would have been listed

491
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.440
in Maryland.

492
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.640
Done, yes, it's it's would have been listed in Maryland.

493
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.200
Uh huh.

494
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:38.559
Washington County. It's in Washington County, Maryland. Yeah. So I

495
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.119
am pretty confident that what was in that river that

496
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:46.400
night was U was a Sasquatch family or two sasquatches,

497
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.759
it was more than one. And I think, I really

498
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.559
think they were fishing, you know, they were getting food

499
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.640
out of the out of the river. But it went

500
00:26:54.680 --> 00:27:04.119
on for hours. So and then I went to the

501
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.599
Colorado with my kids, you know, taking my kids out west,

502
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.039
and I don't remember where where, if where it was,

503
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.920
because we drove out with all of our tentting gear

504
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:16.720
and everything, and I would just pull off the road

505
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.880
in little forest service areas and pull off in camp

506
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.039
and put up my tent and feed the kids and

507
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.960
all that. So, but I think that was in if

508
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:31.319
I can remember rightly, it was in Colorado that we

509
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:36.160
were passing through and going out west, and I was

510
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.559
in the campsite. You know, you pay your eight dollars

511
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.480
or your ten dollars of the forest campsite. We were

512
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.400
the only people there. There was no one else at

513
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.839
this campsite, and it was in a little clearing and

514
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.160
then there were woods like behind. So as I pull

515
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.720
in there and I'm starting to set stuff up, I

516
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:55.759
hear two people talking to one another in those woods,

517
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:58.720
and I'm like, I couldn't understand what. I was listening

518
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:01.319
really hard. Why with people? And I'm thinking, why are

519
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.839
people in the Why would people be in the woods here?

520
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.880
There's no one else around. There are two people talking

521
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.480
in these woods. And I had three kids, I mean,

522
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.240
I had three little kids. I wasn't going to go

523
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.079
and investigate, you know. I had to get the tent

524
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.599
set up and feed them dinner, and because usually we

525
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.680
stop around three four o'clock and all of that. So

526
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:26.119
I never really stopped to investigate. But my husband said

527
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.240
to me that the other day, says, I think Bigfoot's

528
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.839
been trying to get your attention. Sasquatch has been trying

529
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:33.759
to get your attention for years. You've been having these things.

530
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.039
And once I watched your podcast about different experiences, all

531
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.359
these experiences started coming back, like things that happened that

532
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.839
I could not explain. That we're just strange, you know,

533
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.640
And I'm like, oh, well, you know, I mean this

534
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.160
could explain everything. This explains all my all the past

535
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:57.960
experiences that were that were unexplained, you know. So so

536
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:01.400
I just I think that big That's what is Most

537
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.079
people probably in the woods do have experiences, and they

538
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.880
probably have things that happened that they can't explain, but

539
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.240
they do, but they don't know what it is, so

540
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.480
they never really realize, you know. But the only way

541
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.720
I realized, Jeremiah, was because your podcast came up. And

542
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:21.119
I really think after my sister and my dad passed away,

543
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.079
you know, I really was looking for things that were

544
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:30.279
comforting and knowing about that Sasquatch is real, because it

545
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.880
is real. I know, because I heard I heard the sounds,

546
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.759
you know, I heard the whoops I heard. I didn't

547
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.200
really realize they did coyote sounds, but they do coyote sounds.

548
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.599
And I was just like floored when I when I

549
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.000
found out that, oh and this has just been like

550
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:50.079
a year and a half ago, you know, because and

551
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:53.559
that I've really figured this out. And my husband would

552
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.079
laugh because we camp a lot, and we always have

553
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.000
things like stones or pine cones or tree or ste

554
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.200
coming off the trees falling down in air campsite. And

555
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.240
my husband would always laugh, he goes, squirrels stops throwing

556
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.200
stuff at us, you know, he would. I mean, and

557
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:10.880
this happened like all the time, you know, when we

558
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:14.200
were camping and all kinds of different places. And and

559
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.160
I looked at him, I said, so do you think

560
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:19.079
that sasquatch or the squirrels you were yelling at it?

561
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.759
They probably were, you know. But I think that people

562
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.480
who camp, I think and I just think they're everywhere.

563
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.400
And I think that if if you have some kind

564
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.359
of i don't know, maybe openness, maybe they're maybe that

565
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.720
they're you know, more pulled toward that, you know. With

566
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:40.920
the with when we were in Greenbrier, we had the kids,

567
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:43.160
and we had the family you know that we were

568
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:45.319
we were families, you know, and it was a lot

569
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.200
of us, so maybe they were just curious and wanted

570
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:50.960
to get our attention, so they made this tree falling

571
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:55.359
sound that scared all of us. But so it's I

572
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.000
just think that it's interesting and it's changed my whole

573
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:03.279
perspective on on how how this world is, and it

574
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.119
makes me kind of happy that humans aren't the only

575
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.359
only entities that are driving what's happening in this world.

576
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.759
Because I don't ever want to see a nuclear war.

577
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:17.160
I don't ever want to see any more pollution in

578
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:20.400
our air. You know, when I was when when we

579
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:25.960
had the pandemic, and this was in twenty twenty On

580
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.640
Earth Day twenty twenty two, I took a bicycle ride

581
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.960
on the Cno Canal and I had never seen the

582
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.680
water so blue. It was. I have pictures. It was

583
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.039
blue and sparkly, bright blue. But since then, with all

584
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.000
the cars in the air pollution, the air pollution ends

585
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.160
up in the water, and since there was not any

586
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.160
air pollution, the water was just it was so clean.

587
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.599
I couldn't believe it. I was just in shock. I

588
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.160
was like, wow, you know, so I do think that

589
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.240
the earth can can repair itself, but we have is

590
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.720
humans have to be on board, you know. And I'm

591
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:09.480
hoping that maybe ets star people, sasquatch, all of these

592
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:16.839
other psychic people from other places can help us, because

593
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.680
I think we really need it. I really think that

594
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.960
we're in trouble, and I think that we really need it.

595
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.279
You know. It's hard to go out and see garbage

596
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:31.000
and plastic and see the degrading of her water, you know.

597
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.880
Every time it rains here, and we do water testing

598
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.200
in the in the summer, all the dirt from the

599
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.799
roads and the salt and all the stuff from the

600
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:44.279
fertilizers from the farmers all ends up in the streams

601
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.759
and the water and there's E. Colii and there's bacteria,

602
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:54.039
and it's not safe. There's not safe to to drink

603
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.559
or to swim in. You know. Anytime I'm on the

604
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:58.599
you know canal, there's no water alone there to drink.

605
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.920
I take a water filter and want and filter my

606
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.720
water out of there when I'm doing trips, because the

607
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:08.200
water is not clean there at all to to just

608
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:11.319
drink out of there. So but it's just really hard

609
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:12.880
over the years, because I've been doing this for a

610
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.039
long time and over the years, just seeing the degradation

611
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:18.880
of our environment. So I think that it's really important.

612
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:22.039
I think it's the number one thing that humans have

613
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:26.440
to be worried about. We're poisoning us and we're poisoning ourselves,

614
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.079
you know, by this, by this p fact, these forever chemicals.

615
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.599
We need people in office that are going to change

616
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:35.720
the laws to try to help clean it up. You know,

617
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:37.960
it's just very sad.

618
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.160
It is very sad. And then also to see you know,

619
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:48.519
public lands potentially being taken away. There's a lot of

620
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:50.920
stuff that people need to be aware of. But it

621
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.160
is incredible the experiences that you've had over the years.

622
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:00.200
I mean when in Colorado, when you you say it

623
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.319
sounded like there were two people talking to each other,

624
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.880
have you heard any recordings that sound similar to.

625
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.079
That or yes, I have have heard recordings from when

626
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.800
they when the they did the two guys that did

627
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.400
the recordings of I think it was out in California.

628
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.079
It sounded exactly like that. I mean, it was a

629
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.280
language and they were talking to one another and I

630
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.519
could not understand what they were saying, you know, and

631
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:26.440
I wanted to go investigate, but I had three kids.

632
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.360
I was you know, cooking and taking care of them.

633
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.480
And I didn't want to leave them in a campsite

634
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.719
by themselves to go investigate. But now now that my

635
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.119
kids are grown up and I'm planning a couple trips,

636
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:42.159
I'm sure I'm going to do another canal trip when

637
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:46.239
the canal again in that area this summer, and we

638
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:48.480
have all kinds of the little trips planned. We wanted

639
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.519
to go out to the Northwest, but I don't know

640
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.920
what the gas prices. If we have a gas shortage,

641
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.400
we're probably not going to do that.

642
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:57.679
But I really hope that doesn't happen.

643
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.559
But I know stuff already that live in Oregon and

644
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:03.679
they came here a couple of years ago to visit us,

645
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.760
and we wanted to go out there to visit them.

646
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.039
I've never been to the Pacific Northwest, and I really

647
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.559
want to go.

648
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.679
It's beautiful.

649
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.880
Yeah, So I don't think that. I mean, it just

650
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.000
depends on what's going on in our world if we

651
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:17.480
go or not.

652
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:21.679
But I agree one hundred percent for listeners that might

653
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.320
not make the connection. The recording that Doris is talking

654
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.440
about is The Sierra Sounds by Ron Morehead in Albery

655
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.480
in the Sierra Nevada area of California. In the nineteen seventies.

656
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.639
So if you want to hear what she's talking about,

657
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:41.960
you can just google that and you'll find it on YouTube.

658
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:46.400
So yeah, it's just amazing. So I've never seen Sasquatch.

659
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:50.840
I mean, i've you know, they've been around, they've been

660
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:56.280
around us. So I would really like to see Sasquatch once,

661
00:35:56.440 --> 00:36:00.440
you know, just wave know that they're around, you know,

662
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:03.079
I mean, it just gives me hope that, you know,

663
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:06.599
maybe that there's other entities here that will prevent us

664
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:11.000
from doing from doing worse damage to our environment. And

665
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.079
so I really respect them, you know. And in the

666
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:17.320
Native Americans, listening to all the Native American stories of

667
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:24.639
the past about all the how they've interacted, it is

668
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.719
definitely like a clan of people. I'm convinced that it's

669
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:31.360
a plan of people. And I believe that humans. I

670
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.760
believe that we're extraterrestrials. I think we were put here.

671
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.000
I think that we were we were extraterrestrials, like thousands

672
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:43.320
of years ago, and they put us here, you know,

673
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.159
to help them as well as Paul Wallace as his slaves,

674
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:50.119
to help them mine from whatever they wanted.

675
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:55.800
And yeah, yeah, I've heard that line of thinking, yeah, absolutely.

676
00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:00.239
And that we've just you know, we're just them. So

677
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.880
there are brothers, you know, and I really think that

678
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.719
there are a clan of people and that I really

679
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.039
think that the government needs to tell people that these

680
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:14.320
that extraterrestrials and and and sasquatch and all these crypto

681
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.280
beings are real so that people don't get caught off guard.

682
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.199
And you know, I hear see all these hunters, listen

683
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:24.920
to all these hunters that are in the woods, and

684
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.400
that you know, they they see something and they see

685
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.599
sasquatch and they're just totally floored and it's changed their

686
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.079
whole life. I think that, you know, people should be

687
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.719
if they're in the woods, they should kind of understand

688
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.519
that when you're in the woods, stuff happens. There's a

689
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.320
reason why things happen. They just don't. I mean, I

690
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.360
guess that's why they say the woods is magical. But

691
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:48.639
you know, but uh, you know, there were so many

692
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:50.760
times that we were out and things would happen and

693
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.559
I would just be like, that's just strange, it's bizarre.

694
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:57.239
I don't know how to explain. And then you know,

695
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.119
finally being able to listen to your podcasts and to

696
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.079
all the people that have had these experiences. Everything kind

697
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.440
of came together, so but I just wanted to share,

698
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:09.320
you know, I just thank you.

699
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:16.480
For sharing it is It is cool to hear a

700
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:19.400
series of accounts like that what you've experienced over the years,

701
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.360
because you know, when you look at it from an

702
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.960
outside view, like I'm looking at it, it does kind

703
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.440
of feel like if you keep spending the time out

704
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:35.159
in nature, you you will probably have some some type

705
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:39.760
of experiences, even more wilder than you've experienced so far.

706
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.480
It's just it just comes down to the amount of

707
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:47.519
time that you're able to spend out in the outdoors,

708
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.119
is what I think has a lot to do with it.

709
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.320
And also now aware of your surroundings, you know, I exactly,

710
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:57.159
you know, now I'll be more of aware because a

711
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.320
lot of times my husband I do would be biking

712
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.599
on the CIA now and we'd smell bad smells and

713
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.159
I'd be like, oh, dead deer, you know, or dead animal,

714
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.440
and I never really looked. But now that I know

715
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.840
that sasquatch, you know, can put out a smell, I'll

716
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.480
be more I'll maybe stop and look around, you know,

717
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:18.920
and see if I can find, you know, what was

718
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.719
what's making that, you know, and now that I'm more

719
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:25.559
aware than maybe I will see sasquatch, now that you know,

720
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:29.079
I have more awareness of what's happening and what's going

721
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:30.199
on around me, you know.

722
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.639
So absolutely, I think here on the right trail, and

723
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.519
you know, it's it all comes down to being open,

724
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.239
and I feel it comes down to being open in

725
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.679
the right intention and all that which you kind of

726
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.960
mentioned before. But there was another question that I had

727
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:52.639
for you, and it might be more back into the

728
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:58.880
side of the environment, but does does the term silence

729
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.079
spring mean anything in that field?

730
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.159
Yeap? For the Carson book, yep. She was one of

731
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.159
the first people that came out and started writing about

732
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:12.119
the environment. Yeah. An excellent, excellent book to read.

733
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:18.119
Yeah, okay, so it's an environmental Yeah, it's an environmentalist.

734
00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:21.599
A lady I think she was a scientist, wrote about

735
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:26.000
you know, how humans were you know, ruining, ruining the earth,

736
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:30.199
you know, and making it so the air we breathe

737
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.639
is horrible. And you know, I think it was written

738
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:34.280
in I think it was written in the late sixties

739
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.239
or early seventies, so and that's when you know, the

740
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:39.719
Nixon put out the I think it was Nixon who

741
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.519
put out the Water Act, you know, to try to

742
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:44.480
clean up the water. And there was a lot of

743
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.840
environmental things going on in the late seventies and early

744
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.480
eighties because that the air, water and air just got

745
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:54.880
so polluted that we had these and now the administration

746
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:58.000
that is in office right now is rolling all of

747
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.119
it back, all of it. You know, they're not protecting

748
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:06.440
wetlands anymore, they are not protecting clean water anymore. They're

749
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:12.239
allowing they're not making laws to stop having pea fasts. Farmers,

750
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:17.719
the river keepers that I volunteer for in the summer

751
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.440
have gone to Virginia to talk to farmers down there

752
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:24.760
about not using this bio mass on their fields because

753
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.480
basically it's just all filled with peafasts and it's all

754
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:32.239
going into the food that we eat, the meat and

755
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.599
grain grain, and then the animals eat it, the chickens

756
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.199
and the beef and the cows eat it, and it

757
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:41.880
goes into them and then it goes into us. My husband,

758
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:46.039
he's a motorcyclist and he wears a full jacket that

759
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.320
is gortex, and he just got tested for pe fast

760
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:54.400
and it was at eight It was a medium high level,

761
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:57.960
and we're wondering if it's come from his equipment or

762
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.400
if it's coming from the water. We've a couple of

763
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:03.559
years ago, we've changed to be in vegetarian. We eat

764
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:05.559
fish and you know, once in a while, but we

765
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:10.000
very rarely eat meat or chicken, and we don't drink

766
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.639
we don't drink milk, and we don't eat cheese. We

767
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:16.559
only eat you know, I make cashew cheese and that

768
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:21.239
kind of thing. Because of everything, the anybiotics that they're

769
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:26.320
putting in the meat and the and the chickens, and

770
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:29.320
the hormones that I think they do try to give

771
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.920
them hormones to beef them up, and whatever they're giving them,

772
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.079
we're getting it, and I think it's not good. And

773
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.800
you know, a lot of humans are becoming any biotic resistance,

774
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.239
so when we get sick, these any biotics aren't working anymore,

775
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.800
you know. And I believe Sasquatch knows all this. I

776
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:48.800
think that they do. I think that they know, you know,

777
00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:53.199
that our environments in peril right now, and every single

778
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:56.559
person should be concerned about this. You know, this is

779
00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.559
a this is a concern that needs to be you know,

780
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:07.199
dealt with quickly and really well. You know, we got

781
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.400
solar panels on our house a couple of years ago,

782
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.079
and it was great because we got a we went

783
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.199
through a solar co op, so there was thirty other

784
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:20.079
families that got solar, and we got a big discount

785
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.400
on our solar system, and we got a home ech

786
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.199
loan and the home equity loan was for I think

787
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:27.840
twenty years and it was only one hundred dollars a month,

788
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.920
which was less. We were paying over two hundred dollars

789
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.239
a month for our electric bill. Electric in Maryland is

790
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:37.920
very high. So now we have paid it off and

791
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:41.519
we are paying six dollars to be hooked up to

792
00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:45.159
the grid and we get solar credits because we're overproducing.

793
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.519
Now that my kids have moved out, we're overproducing. So

794
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:51.920
we have six dollars a month. And a lot of

795
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.760
people that I've talked to recently said their electric bills

796
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.480
for February were over one thousand dollars because of how

797
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.960
cold it was and if they had all electric houses.

798
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:04.840
And I'm like, man, you need to look into solar

799
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.280
because even your your bill for owning that, for owning it,

800
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:10.039
if you get a home back loan, is going to

801
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.039
be less than what you're going to be paying every

802
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:13.440
you know, every month.

803
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:18.800
Reluct absolutely so if you were if you were to

804
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:22.039
try to connect Silence Spring to today, really the connection

805
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:28.400
is that the things that came about from Rachel Carson

806
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.119
back in that time period are being rolled back by

807
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.360
current administration. Really, yes, they're also back to how it

808
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:38.280
was before Rachel Carson.

809
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:41.719
Yeah, during the seventies when we do not want to

810
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:45.000
go back there, I mean, especially now we have wildfires,

811
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.920
all these wildfires that are happening. We're breathing this all in.

812
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.239
This is all detrimental to our health. You know, humans

813
00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:55.840
were meant to breathe in smoke and weren't meant to

814
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:58.840
take in all these nasty chemicals. We can't. We just

815
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.880
don't aren't going to survive it. My sister was fifty nine.

816
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:05.159
She had she had sircoma cancer. She got diagnosed in

817
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.039
February and she passed away in September. She was fifty nine,

818
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.000
she was younger than me. She had We had no

819
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:14.840
clue you know, why she got sick. But I'm sure

820
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:18.840
it's environmental, you know, I'm sure you know. And my

821
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.800
dad was he had heart issues. And he was an

822
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:23.360
old and he was in eighty six, so, you know.

823
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.880
But and I think that we're going to see more

824
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:28.920
and more incidences of cancer, and we're going to see

825
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.920
more and more incidences of asthma and all of these

826
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.960
sorts of things that young kids get sick because of

827
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.039
what's what's happening, and they're they're rolling it back. I

828
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.920
just read that they were trying to get to drill

829
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:46.159
some of the BLM land and the National park land

830
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:49.880
out west and they want to drill it for copper

831
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:53.800
and whatever else you know, is out there. I just

832
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.119
think this is not a good idea. You know. We

833
00:45:56.199 --> 00:46:01.599
need to think about the consequences of these things, you know.

834
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:04.079
And I think that the data centers and the AI

835
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:07.440
are also pushing this forward. You know, you have a

836
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:09.360
lot of mega rich people who are doing what the

837
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:12.039
heck they want. They're not gonna they think they can

838
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:14.880
do whatever, and the people that we have in power

839
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:16.480
are not pushing back on them.

840
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:21.920
They're not It's a really wild time. There's a lot

841
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.880
of stuff that people need to be aware of, like

842
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:29.480
you're bringing up. But I'm glad that you you and

843
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:33.880
others and hopefully more from listening to this are aware

844
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:37.599
of what's going on and endorse. Also, thank you for

845
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.960
coming on the show and for sharing your experiences. I

846
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.159
hope that you know you're able to keep having them

847
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:44.239
if that's what you desire.

848
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:47.760
Yeah, I hope. So. I think people come from all

849
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.719
over the world to bike on the Cno Canal because

850
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:53.280
it goes from Washington, d C. And it goes all

851
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.199
away to Cumberland, Maryland. It's one hundred and eighty six

852
00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.920
miles and then it goes on to Pittsburgh for the

853
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:03.039
Great Alleghany Passage. And so people come from all over

854
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:06.000
the world to bike from Washington, d C. To Pittsburgh.

855
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.440
And it's just a beautiful ride. It's full of history,

856
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:11.760
and it's just the outdoors is just so lovely. So

857
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:14.079
if anyone gets a chance even to come for a day,

858
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:17.519
you know, just to bike, you know, bring a picnic,

859
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:19.960
lunch and and just enjoy it, it's just lovely. So

860
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.480
I will be doing that. And I do think that

861
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.119
other people have had some encounters along this this area

862
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:30.920
in Maryland, along the Cno Canal. I think there was

863
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:35.599
another gentleman that you interviewed who was down closer to

864
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.280
Washington d C along the canal on a trail there

865
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:43.239
that was like Seneca area, and he's yes, having counter

866
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:45.159
there and he ended up having to spend the night

867
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.280
because he had I think he had blood sugar. I

868
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:49.079
think he had diabetes or something and he.

869
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:51.119
Yes, anthropologists.

870
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:55.320
Yeah, that was such a wonderful podcast, I mean, just

871
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.079
hearing his story. So I do think that there are

872
00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:01.039
sasquatch all in this area. But I just think that

873
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:03.880
people just don't report. They don't know what it is.

874
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:07.639
They're just afraid to report what's happening. So but I

875
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.880
hope that other people enjoy nature and then what strange

876
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:13.480
things happen to them, they can kind of rethink really

877
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:14.039
what it is.

878
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.480
You know, absolutely well, thank you, thank you, thank you

879
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:22.760
so much for coming on the show, and definitely keep

880
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.079
us informed if anything else happens in your experiences when

881
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:28.800
you're out in naturell I'll.

882
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:31.760
Let you know. If I see one, I'm ready. It

883
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:33.679
would be nice to have one peek out from behind

884
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:36.000
a tree while I'm biking along on the Siena Canal,

885
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:37.440
So I'm not afraid.

886
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.519
Now, have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot

887
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:44.199
activity around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man,

888
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:46.719
I would love to get out in those woods and

889
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.440
experience it for myself. Well, guess what this year you

890
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:55.239
can If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because

891
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:59.760

tenth through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's gonna be

893
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:08.239
even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll

894
00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:10.960
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

895
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:16.480
probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't

896
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:22.760
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

897
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:25.199
you just gotta be there. We'll leave it that more

898

908

00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:49.400
We can talk about your encounter. Was able to talk

918
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:52.119
to so many people last year and the year before.

919
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.880
It is an incredible time. You're not going to want

920
00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:00.159
to miss it, and I'll see you there before or

921
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.559
we wrap this episode. I want to say something directly

922
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:05.400
to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in

923
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:09.360
the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen

924
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.039
something that no one can explain, or if you're a

925
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.360
National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to

926
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.719
stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something

927
00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:22.280
strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI,

928
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:26.000
a federal agency or working intelligence and you stumbled upon

929
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:28.800
something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're

930
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:32.480
a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard

931
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.039
screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're

932
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:39.760
in the logging industry on a remote oil field or

933
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:43.159
a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen

934
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:47.039
that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist,

935
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:50.960
a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who

936
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:54.360
has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're

937
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:57.599
a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat

938
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:00.920
and you saw something that shook your faith, or if

939
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.360
you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or anything with

940
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:08.880
clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I

941
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:13.920
want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous. You

942
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.360
can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

943
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:20.239
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

944
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:26.000
carry alone. And you're not alone. You've got the story,

945
00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:30.440
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

948
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:39.000
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

949
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:41.880
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
