Season 1

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, listeners hear firsthand accounts and credible secondhand reports from some of the most active and remote regions in North America.


A former Coast Guard serviceman shares a disturbing experience while hiking deep in Humboldt County, California, followed by unsettling local accounts from the Bluff Creek area near the Patterson–Gimlin film site. A military veteran describes unexplained activity connected to Fort Campbell, Stewart County, and the forests of Land Between the Lakes, including incidents near Lake Barkley State Park.


Stories continue from a historic cemetery in Athens, Georgia, where a late-night encounter left multiple witnesses fleeing in fear. An experienced investigator details aggressive encounters involving sound, movement, and object throwing at Coon Dog Cemetery in Alabama. Campers recount repeated disturbances, footprints, and nighttime activity in the Mount Rainier region of Washington.


The episode also includes lesser-known reports from Priest Lake, Idaho, and remote land in Bannock County near Lava Hot Springs, where unexplained environmental events raise serious questions.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot 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 --> 00:00:31.239
So stay with us.

11
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:31.839
Can you hear me?

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.920
Yeah, I could hear you. Hope all is well. Feel

13
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.200
free to share what you would want to share.

14
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:40.119
Awesome.

15
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:40.759
Yeah.

16
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.799
So I was in the Coast Guard some years ago

17
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.719
and I got stationed up in Humboldt County in northern California,

18
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.479
and upon reporting it's a gorgeous place. It's kind of

19
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:03.200
infamous for the bigfoot scene, but it's beautiful. Got there

20
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.840
and upon talking to you know, some of the other

21
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.359
people that I had met at the Coast Guard base,

22
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.400
I had told them that I was excited to go hiking,

23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.280
at which time I was instructed you know, to look

24
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.200
over a set of a few sets of maps, because

25
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.159
there's a lot of native land up there that we

26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.519
were restricted from visiting. And then there were three thousand

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.159
known illegal drug operations in the county, so you know,

28
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.920
when you look over the maps, it's like, okay, there's

29
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.560
there's not really a lot of options for places I

30
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.599
could go hiking. Being in the service, anyway, it took

31
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.799
me a while and finally I found a trail. I

32
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.519
was super excited about it. So I waited for my

33
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.319
wife then girlfriend to come and visit, and we went

34
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:59.159
on this hike, and it took us a while to

35
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.319
drive out to the trailhead. We get there's no other cars,

36
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.280
so you know, we know that we're pretty alone. There's

37
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:11.120
nobody else around. We start to hike. It's beautiful walking

38
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:16.319
down the trail, and I'd say maybe hour hour and

39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.680
a half in, I noticed that the forest goes completely silent,

40
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.879
and my wife's knee was bothering her. So I was

41
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.719
maybe one hundred yards ahead of her on this trail.

42
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.159
Forest goes silent, and I took note of it, and

43
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:38.199
I immediately had thought predator, and so I had kind

44
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.280
of stopped and started scanning the trees all around me,

45
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.280
and my whole body from head to toe just got

46
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.840
covered in goosebumps, like I've never had that sensation feel

47
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.560
so strong, and so I'm scanning and that's when the

48
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.680
smell hits me, and I just the best way I

49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.479
could describe it is like the strength of a skunk smell,

50
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.080
but not quite a skunk. The smell hits me and

51
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.520
I start. It sounds crazy when I say it, but

52
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:24.719
I wasn't thinking this. I felt like a voice was

53
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.479
in my head telling me, leave, you do not belong here. Leave,

54
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.080
you do not belong here. And my wife caught up

55
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.319
to me, and she had said, oh, I made some

56
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:41.960
comment about the smell, and I'll just come out and say,

57
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.560
you know, I didn't see anything, but my boots felt

58
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.479
stuck to the ground. I felt paralyzed, like I couldn't

59
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.439
keep moving forward anymore. And between kind of that whole

60
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.080
experience that I was having, we ended up packing up

61
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.120
and leaving. It was very, very bizarre, and I think

62
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.680
for a long time I couldn't explain it. I didn't

63
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.919
know what that was, and maybe I was in a

64
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.719
little bit of denial. But through listening to your show

65
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.879
and a few others. It sounds like some of the

66
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:22.759
things that I experienced line up with bigfoot experiences. Yeah.

67
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.199
So after after that, I didn't go hiking much more,

68
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.439
but I fell in love with the area in general.

69
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.720
And a few years later, my wife and I decided

70
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.560
to buy a property up in the county and we

71
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.319
bought a property actually in the town that the Patterson

72
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:43.279
film was captured.

73
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.639
So awesome we owned that.

74
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.920
Yeah, so we own that property, and one of my

75
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.519
first time visiting the property, I met the neighbor, elderly man,

76
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.759
and he was sharing with me a little bit of

77
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.000
his experience. His family settled the valley in the early

78
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.680
eighteen hundreds, so he's, you know, they've been there for generations,

79
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.480
and so of course I had to ask if he

80
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.560
had any Bigfoot experiences. And he had told me that

81
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.000
what he did for work for a lot of his

82
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:22.839
career was he did like plumbing and irrigation, and he

83
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:27.040
would set up he would set up a lot of

84
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.120
the irrigation and plumbing for the grow ups that were

85
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:38.160
in the county. And he said that routinely the thousand

86
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.560
gallon water jugs were getting ripped out of the ground

87
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:47.000
and thrown an inexplicable distance, and the larger five thousand

88
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:52.839
gallon ones would be dented and essentially destroyed. And around

89
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:59.040
these big, you know, water tanks, they'd find these massive footprints,

90
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.439
and it came such a regular thing that people started

91
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.839
actually leaving. But of course they would never report it

92
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.399
or call it in or anything because these were illegal

93
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.120
grow operations at the time. So those are those are

94
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.839
kind of my two experiences. I'm having a house built

95
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.720
up there now with plans to move up there eventually,

96
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.040
so I will definitely stay tapped in and see if

97
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:29.279
anything else comes up.

98
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:38.120
Okay, so you're in the you're in the town that

99
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.879
people usually associate with it, right, that's what you're saying. Yeah, okay, gotcha. Yeah, Yeah,

100
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.639
that's fantastic. Yeah, definitely keep in touch with me because

101
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.879
you're probably gonna you're you're gonna experience some stuff from

102
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.800
here on out once you get there. Absolutely, that's that's

103
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.079
some wild stuff, dude. That's right. Yeah, film site.

104
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.240
I have not not yet, but definitely definitely planned to

105
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.120
check it out.

106
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.399
Yeah, that would be cool someday for you, absolutely, especially

107
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:13.600
if you live right there, you know.

108
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.879
Yeah, it's it's an absolutely wild place. I don't know

109
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:23.399
if you've visited, but I think, yeah, people people don't

110
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.959
realize just how remote it is up there.

111
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.199
It's bonkers.

112
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.240
Yeah, it's it's I mean just even from my Coast

113
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:39.920
Guard experience perspective, like there's such little government presence up

114
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.600
there that we were taking calls that would usually be

115
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.680
handled by other government agencies. But I would get calls

116
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.920
about aliens and all kinds of things all the time

117
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.920
going on up there. Oh yeah, yeah, So my my

118
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.639
job directly was essentially on the civilian side. It'd be

119
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.560
a mix between like a nine one one operator and

120
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.480
an air traffic controller, So I dealt with all the

121
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.000
search and rescue and all those things, and we would

122
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.959
get some wild calls.

123
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.879
That's awesome, dude, Holy mackerel.

124
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:12.839
Yeah yeah, but.

125
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.160
It's it's it's a crazy place. If you ever have

126
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.600
the chance to visit, I recommend it. It's uh, it's

127
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.279
like the wild wild West still up there.

128
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.399
It's on the list for sure. I need to make

129
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.040
it happen. But I went ahead and gave you a

130
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.360
follow just because I want to be able to to

131
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.000
keep in touch with you. But yeah, if you ever

132
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.600
have anything happen you can contact me on here or

133
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.279
my email is big for society at gmail dot com too.

134
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.240
But thank you for sharing, man.

135
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.240
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me on once the uh,

136
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.360
once the property is done and built and everything up there.

137
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.960
If you ever passing through, I'd love to have you.

138
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.000
And I'm sure my neighbor could tell you one hundred

139
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.679
and one stories.

140
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.159
Absolutely, yeah, that'd be there'd be some wild stuff, man,

141
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.720
I'll keep it in mind. Thank you. Yep, have a

142
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.759
good night, you too, Hey, how's it going. Thanks for

143
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.600
coming up. Feel free to share what you've experienced.

144
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:09.759
Yeah.

145
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.799
I was a soldier at Fort Campbell, Kentucky from two

146
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:19.320
thousand and four to twenty ten. I served twenty seven

147
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.039
months in Iraq during that time. It just kind of

148
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.320
seemed like I was going back and forth over there.

149
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.080
But I lived. Oh yeah, you bad. Thanks. I lived

150
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.000
in Stuart County.

151
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:34.240
If you look on the map, Fort Campbell's cut between

152
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:39.919
the southern and northern border of Kentucky and Tennessee. So

153
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.759
Stuart County is that first county of Tennessee to the

154
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.440
south of that state line, way in the back of

155
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.799
the base, and it's in the land between the lakes.

156
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.639
And when I got back for my second tour in Iraq.

157
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.720
We lived in the country, in the land between the lakes.

158
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:06.440
Really just a simple little country house way deep in

159
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.720
the woods, and it's about a forty five minute drive

160
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.799
for me to get the base every day, and it's

161
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.000
really just a peaceful little place. But you know, when

162
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.200
I got back from my racks that second time, I

163
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.639
heard a growl that I had never heard before. It

164
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:28.840
wasn't a dog, it wasn't a bear. It was something

165
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:34.399
that was about fifty feet away from me, behind the

166
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:39.559
tobacco barn. And I ran inside the house and I said, Julie,

167
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:44.559
where's my bat? And she said, I think it's in

168
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.279
the closet. What's going on, I said, something in the back,

169
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.960
something by the tobacco barn, And there was my baseball bat,

170
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:57.440
and I grabbed it real quick and I went. I

171
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.360
ran as fast as I could to the tobacco barn

172
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.960
because I didn't know what that sound was. But all

173
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.720
I wanted to do was to hit it as hard

174
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.840
as I could to kill it. And I got to

175
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.120
where that sound was.

176
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:11.799
I mean, it was a deep.

177
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.159
Guttural growl that I've never heard before, and I started

178
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:21.120
beating on that tobacco barn and I said, where are you?

179
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:21.679
Where are you?

180
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.639
And it was complete silence that thing.

181
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.080
And for the rest of the time that we lived there,

182
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.480
there was always little things that went on, and I

183
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.440
would run up into the woods.

184
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.000
And confront this thing that kept.

185
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:47.519
Kind of messing with my property, my house. My son

186
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:53.679
said he would hear things on the roof top. You know,

187
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.200
he said that years later. You know, he actually said

188
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.440
that a few years ago when he was actually a.

189
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:01.840
A young adult.

190
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.519
So that Fort Campbell, Kentucky land between the links, it's

191
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:13.840
a very strange place. I also have heard things from

192
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.360
other soldiers that have incurred then.

193
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:18.879
It actually.

194
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.519
Saw or heard the dog man, which is like a

195
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:29.320
dog man. Yeah, actually on base.

196
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.679
Okay, wow, really yeah, So I've heard Fort Campbell has

197
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.120
a lot of dog man activity.

198
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.200
Yeah.

199
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.919
And I there was the five o the five oh

200
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:47.720
second Infantry Battalion was in the Stuart County kind of

201
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:51.200
where I was, way at the end of the base.

202
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.399
They're kind of getting close to land between lakes. And

203
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.519
what happened was one night, this is about ten years ago,

204
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.200
they were just on a re It was basic basically

205
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.159
a they were doing their mission, which was your basic

206
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.120
infantry mission that you're set up throughout the night, and

207
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.240
they're going to stay up all night.

208
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.679
They're going to do their positions.

209
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.639
And uh, the sergeant heard some creeping behind him. He

210
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.559
thought it was his private coming to talk to him,

211
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:29.559
and he said, he said, stop moving, what are you doing?

212
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.000
And he kept saying, you know, similar things like that,

213
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.720
And finally the sergeant got fed up and he took

214
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.879
his his infrared flashlight, which is basically the flashlight with

215
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.919
the red lens, and he turned around and said, what

216
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.960
are you doing? And when he turned around and put

217
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.519
the flashlight with the red lens on it, he saw

218
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.080
the dog man.

219
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.879
And that thing took off into the woods.

220
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.879
And that was on the Fort Campbell Army Base about

221
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.639
ten years ago.

222
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:11.840
Oh my goodness, dude.

223
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.720
He thought it was he thought it was his soldier

224
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.159
that was twenty or thirty yards from it.

225
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.879
It wasn't.

226
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.879
It's just that that whole area and then the stuff

227
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.759
I've heard from Land between the Lakes, and then you

228
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.759
take into consideration Hopkinsville where the Hopkinsville Goblins thing happened.

229
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.480
It's all in that area.

230
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:33.840
Dude.

231
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.120
It's just it's crazy down there.

232
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.519
Yeah, and you know, I and just a throwing this

233
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:44.399
quick story. My wife of almost twenty years now, when

234
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:52.120
we started dating twenty years ago, we went to the

235
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.200
land between the lakes to kind of just get away

236
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.399
from the base, get away from Clarksville, get away from Hopkinsville,

237
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.519
just to kind of have a weekend, you know that

238
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.679
I just kind of chill, get away from it all.

239
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.559
And you know, we went to the state park up there,

240
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:14.360
land between the lake State Park and heavy rainstorm, I

241
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.720
mean thunder lightning.

242
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:22.000
The I mean it was. We were in the actual campground.

243
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.080
We had a tent set up, and it was about

244
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.960
three in the morning.

245
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.279
We were still because the lightning and the thunder was

246
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.080
keeping us up and we were trying to fight the rain.

247
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.600
The rain was coming the water and you know, it's

248
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.039
practically coming in the tent, and we heard the streak

249
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.720
like I've never heard before, just outside of the camp

250
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.679
area where everybody was. I've never heard that streak before,

251
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.799
but I've I've heard other stories of a woman screaming

252
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.440
like in trouble.

253
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.080
That's what sounded like.

254
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.120
Somebody was being murdered, and it sounded like it was

255
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.840
just outside of that camp area at Lake Barkley, State

256
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:13.600
Park and we looked at each other like what was that?

257
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:19.120
And it was thundering and lightning and I'll never forget it.

258
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.080
Oh my goodness, that had to been just horrifying. And

259
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.120
so Lake Barkley, So that's southern part of it looks

260
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.919
like okay, right, Yeah, I hear a lot of stuff

261
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.639
up by De Mumber's Bay, which I guess is the

262
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.759
northern part of it, right, But I think the whole

263
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.720
the whole place is just crazy from what I've heard.

264
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.559
Yeah, and it's really secluded to so Kentucky does a

265
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.799
great job of preserving nature, so I mean, I think

266
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.039
that's a big part of it too.

267
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.159
Wow.

268
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:58.120
Oh man, you've got some intense stories. Thank you so

269
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.559
much for coming up and for sharing those. I do

270
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.680
appreciate it and thank you so much. Hey, Damien, how

271
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:05.960
are you?

272
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.319
What's up?

273
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.000
Jeremiah hate doing doing good? Doing good?

274
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.480
Oh yeah, I've been on one time before.

275
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.440
I remember your voice. Yeah, but how's it going, man?

276
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.480
Well, yeah, it's going pretty good. I'm sorry, I'm trying

277
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:26.200
to get trying to get right here, yep, trying to

278
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.319
get myself situated.

279
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:28.480
Anyway.

280
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.400
I told you my story before, but it brought up

281
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.640
I was thinking about it, and it brought up some

282
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.359
like a story my dad told me when I was

283
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.799
a kid. And I don't know if it's exactly like Bigfoot,

284
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.680
but it kind of sounds a lot like it. Okay,

285
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.400
hold on, I gotta turn on this radio right anyway,

286
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:03.279
this story. He doesn't believe in Bigfoot and all, yes,

287
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.720
he does believe in the paranormal. He thinks it was

288
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.519
like a paranormal thing, but I think it was more

289
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.839
of a big Foot thing. It was back in the

290
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.119
so I'm in my thirties, so it was back in

291
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.519
he was like in the seventies when he was a

292
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:25.680
kid or a teenager. The story was, well, this happened

293
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.359
in like Athens, Georgia. If anybody like, if you know

294
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:35.160
about Athens, Athens now is like a mini Atlanta. It's

295
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:39.039
a big town now. Everybody knows Georgia football, all that

296
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.519
good stuff. It's a big boom in town now. But

297
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.119
back in the seventies it was kind of small. But

298
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.519
this happened in like I'd say, it was like seventy three,

299
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:54.079
seventy four, but it was in a cemetery. He said

300
00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:00.359
that him and his cousin and his best friend which

301
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.400
is now My godfather used to sneak in the cemetery

302
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:09.640
to fish at this river, like steak away from the house.

303
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:11.519
The each to fish at this river. And it was

304
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:16.079
that night. So they were down fishing at this river.

305
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.680
Wasn't having much luck. And like now, this is a

306
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.000
huge cemetery. It's called o'coney Hill now you can look

307
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.559
it up. But so they packed up from fishing and

308
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.720
was on their walk back home. It got dark on home,

309
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.680
so they were on their walk back home.

310
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.799
It was dark.

311
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:46.279
Of course, the cemetery is spooky anyway, The cemetery had

312
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:53.799
like a seven seven eight foot fence around it. You

313
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.079
really wasn't supposed to be in there, but they snuck

314
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.599
in anyway. Down their fishing, was trying to sneak back

315
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:05.400
out right after dark, and was walking around the trail

316
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.440
that goes around the cemetery. And my dad said it

317
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:14.799
was three of them and they were walking through the

318
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:19.240
cemetery and he said that my cousin Timmy looked to

319
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.799
his right, dropped his tackle and his fishing poles and

320
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:28.880
just took off running and jumped the fence and passed out.

321
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:36.000
And he said his friend looked to the right dropped

322
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.480
all his stuff and took off running and jumped the fence.

323
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.839
And then he said, he looked to his right. My

324
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.920
dad looked to his right. He said, what he saw

325
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.920
scared him enough. He took off running, and he wasn't

326
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.559
tall enough to jump the fence, so scrambled under the

327
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.960
fence the hole that they dug to sneak in. Scrambled

328
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.319
under the fence, and when he met back up with them,

329
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:11.640
they like picked Timmy up, which was passed out out

330
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.039
of shock. I guess passed passed out, and they picked

331
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.119
him up and drug him away. And when they got

332
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.559
him to wake up, they were like, hey, what did

333
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:23.200
you see? Did y'all all see?

334
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.279
What?

335
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.319
Did you see? What I saw? That whole situation And

336
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:34.319
all of them collectively got theirself together and explained to

337
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.279
each other what they saw and what they saw. Apparently

338
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.400
they looked to their right and there was a huge

339
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:47.440
oak tree, and they all of them agreed what they

340
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.319
saw was two big shoulders and two big hands wrapped

341
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.880
around the oak tree with a head peeked around the side. Wow,

342
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.039
scared them enough to have that reaction, And he he

343
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.720
thinks it's like more of a paranormal thing because it

344
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:08.759
was a cemetery. But to me it sounds a whole

345
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.440
lot like am you know a big foot things? At

346
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:16.319
that time in the seventies, Athens wasn't so big. Nowadays

347
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:21.039
Athens is huge. But yeah, that's just it.

348
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.640
Wow, that that's extremely interesting. You know that story.

349
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.359
That story gives me the creep So.

350
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.119
It's a it's a creepy one. And yeah, West Virginia

351
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:38.759
and Tennessee. I hear some weird bigfoot stories from uh,

352
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:41.000
from cemeteries as well. I don't know what it is,

353
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.920
but sometimes you hear them. But that that is a

354
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.799
creepy one. Thank you for sharing. It's a really creepy story. Uh,

355
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.680
and reminds me some others I've heard from Tennessee over

356
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.559
by the Smokies. But man, thank you for sharing that.

357
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.240
That that is a cool one. Thank you.

358
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:01.279
Oh yeah, that stuffinite.

359
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:02.599
Hello, how you doing.

360
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.119
It's good. It's been a while, man.

361
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.880
Man, yeah, it's it's been a little bit, but things

362
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.160
are still kicking. Oh, we had some wild stories on

363
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.640
here tonight.

364
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.559
I see it's it's been out of control. My friend. Hey,

365
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.640
you're good. If I potentially use the audio from this

366
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:22.599
in the podcast.

367
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.279
Oh you know I am.

368
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.480
I know you are about have to ask, yes, yeah,

369
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.640
just say erazy stuff. But how are things down your

370
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.160
neck of the woods.

371
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:42.279
Well, I have been doing in some investigating on what

372
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.160
I think or may not be bigfoot stuff. You know,

373
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.039
I've been looking at bigfoot thing for twenty one years now,

374
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.759
and this last case that I looked at, it's got

375
00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:08.960
me stumped. But uh is definitely definitely uh cryptied. But anyway,

376
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.359
we're here to talk about bigfoot stuff, so we'll go

377
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:12.680
with that.

378
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:20.039
All right, all right, Oh.

379
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.799
I have been I went down of course, I'm in

380
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.000
northwest Alabama, as you know, and I have been going

381
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:34.799
to Coon Dog Cemetery in Colbert County, Alabama, pretty regular

382
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.640
this this year, and we've had some we've had some

383
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:45.960
pretty interesting interactions down there. It been a cemetery, of course,

384
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.119
it's gonna draw out things too, but this is a

385
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:56.039
coon dog cemetery, not a human cemetery. And I took

386
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.279
a friend of mine and his son in law down

387
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:08.039
there here will back, and we did some sound calls.

388
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.720
His son in law believes in Bigfoot, but he hadn't

389
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.920
never seen any. And my friend believes in Bigfoot, but

390
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:22.519
he's only heard them, and that night we had well

391
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.680
the cemetery, let me tell you, there's a pavilion there,

392
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.759
and then it goes downhill about fifty feet and there's

393
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:35.240
a tree line, and still it still had the leaves

394
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:38.359
on the trees that they hadn't they changed, but they

395
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.440
hadn't failed yet. And so we did some call blast

396
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:48.599
and waited about thirty minutes and didn't didn't happen. And

397
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.480
we sat down there and my friend said, you think

398
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.680
I oh to do another one. I said, well, it's

399
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.160
just been thirty minutes. You know, sometimes you got to

400
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.480
set all night long and just and he was getting

401
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.759
kind of antsy, so he said, I believe I'm going

402
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.440
to do another call blast. And he was getting up,

403
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.480
getting ready to do it, and there was a scream

404
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.640
that come out of the woods that sounded like a

405
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.880
mix between a Tranosaurus rex and a rooster. And I

406
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:24.039
can't explain it any better than that. It wasn't a

407
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:30.240
typical scream, but it wasn't anything I'd ever heard. And

408
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.759
we was looking at each other and I asked him,

409
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.960
I said, well you think that was a booger? And

410
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.079
he said, man, you know more about them than me.

411
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.960
You've done more than I have. I said, yeah, but

412
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:47.279
I've never heard anything like that. I mean, it started

413
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:51.720
out of screaming and ended up on cockadoodle doing. And

414
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.519
I'm like, listen, I don't know what kind of animal

415
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:01.640
could do that. And me and him both hunters, and

416
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.480
he's like, oh, man, I don't either. I said, well,

417
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:09.680
just just out of marking off the list, it's not

418
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:12.640
a bear, it's not a cougar, it's not a coyote,

419
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.240
it's not a bobcat. Uh, it's not any kind of

420
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.440
a nighttime bird I've ever heard, I said. The only

421
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:25.720
thing it could be is something that can mimic. And

422
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:31.240
we were sitting there talking about this, and his son

423
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.640
in law had a night vision goggles. He was looking

424
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:39.720
out or trying to figure out, and a a pine

425
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:44.079
cone or flew, flew uphill or with enough force to

426
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.160
hit him in the head while he was looking through

427
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:52.960
his binoculars. No way, Yes, it hit. It hit right

428
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:56.119
on the binocular on the on the where he was

429
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.920
looking at and we were we were over there discussing

430
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.680
and we didn't see this. We were over there discussing,

431
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:08.920
discussing whether that could be a bigfoot or not. And

432
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.759
he was like, hey, y'all, and we were just like

433
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.359
blowing away because it's his first time out and he

434
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.839
was like super excited. So everything up to this point

435
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.240
had been had been a big foot, so we'd almost

436
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.079
just like, okay, yeah, he's doing this thing. And we

437
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.880
were discussing this. It's like, hey, y'all, y'all come here,

438
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.759
and he's like, oh, oh, I just got this pine cone.

439
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.599
And the pine cone was about six inches long. It

440
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.480
was a big one. He said, it just hit me

441
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.720
in ahead. I said, where did it come? He said

442
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.480
down there. I said, pine coons don't fall uphill. He said, no,

443
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.240
this didn't fall. This thing flew. He said there wasn't

444
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.759
an arc. He said there was. It was like a

445
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.799
line drive and it hit me right in the head.

446
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.599
I watched it through the binoculars until it hit my binoculars,

447
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:01.799
and so got out and we got the looking and

448
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.319
we got out our spotlights and we got the shining

449
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:09.079
and we could see a silhouette moving in the woods,

450
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.079
not at the tree line, but about ten fifteen feet

451
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:16.319
back in the underbrush. And we started hearing some huffing

452
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.400
and asked, I asked my friend, I what I say,

453
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:24.920
Can you see anything down there, because he was at

454
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.279
one angle and eyes at another one, and we kind

455
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:32.720
of triangulated these spotlights, and as we were doing it,

456
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.440
the animal was trying to stay out of the light,

457
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.359
but you could see him leaning around the trees. He

458
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.519
wasn't like holding the trees. He's just behind it. You'd

459
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.480
see him leaning out of the trees and you could

460
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.839
see where the spotlight would hit its eyes and it

461
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.599
would reflect back green and he would he would lean back.

462
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:57.240
And I told my friend Jim, I said, once you

463
00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:59.839
walk down there and see what it is and he's life.

464
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.599
He said, no, I'm not gonna go down there. I said, well,

465
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:04.839
I'll go down there. Well, I'll go to the tree line.

466
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.200
And he said, I don't know if I do that

467
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.640
or not. There's still leaves in there. And I said yeah,

468
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.839
but we ain't gonna find out what it is if

469
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.039
we don't go down there and see. So I cut

470
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.880
off my spotlight and give it to his son in law.

471
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:23.319
I said, now you shine that down there where it is.

472
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.559
Jim was shining his in the same place. So I

473
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.799
took out my flashlight and I clicked it on and

474
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:35.160
I started walking down to the tree line. Which the

475
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:39.000
animal was probably at least twenty thirty feet inside the

476
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:44.039
tree line at this time in underbrush. So I walking

477
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.400
down there, and I shining the lot down there, trying

478
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:48.599
to see, and every now and then I could see

479
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.680
like a hand the dart around the tree or whatever,

480
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.319
or a shoulder in an arm. I couldn't see the

481
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.920
whole thing. So when I got down there to the

482
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.440
tree line, Jim all back at me and he said, Joe,

483
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.119
I think you need to come back up this way,

484
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.480
said And I said why He said, I think, I

485
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.359
said another one coming off from the left of where

486
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:13.559
I was, And so I started to shine a light

487
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.759
in there, and I got a pine cone hit me

488
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:19.920
in the forehead from the one that we was watching

489
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.640
that through it the first time, and I like, yeah,

490
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:24.319
I think I'm going to get back up here on

491
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.519
the pavilion. I said, I'm just gonna walk back up there.

492
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.200
Y'all make sure that it don't jump out at me.

493
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:35.480
If you see it. To see it coming at me,

494
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.000
tell me that I'm gonna get out of here. And

495
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:40.599
so I walked back up the hill to the pavilion

496
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.119
and we sat there and his Jim's son in law,

497
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.920
I asked us. He said, do they just throw pine cones?

498
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.319
I said, now, they throw anything they get their hands on. Why,

499
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:55.559
he said, because there's been like four hickory nuts throwed

500
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.480
at me. He said, I don't even know where a

501
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.079
hickory nut tree is around here. And I said, well,

502
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.960
there's probably something in the woods down there, and uh,

503
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.359
we didn't. We didn't go in the woods. But we

504
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:14.079
sat there and after a little while we heard another huff,

505
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:19.480
like a really loud huff, and we heard a second

506
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.119
huff to the left of the first one, and then

507
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.000
we heard two of them walking off, and they were

508
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:30.440
They were noisy on purpose, I believe. And you hear

509
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.839
like boot boot boot, three four steps, and then you

510
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:36.720
didn't hear them no more. It's like they was telling us, Okay,

511
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.240
we come up here, see what y'all were doing, and

512
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:42.880
we see what you are. You ain't one of us,

513
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:47.119
or we're leaving. And that's pretty much the last thing

514
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.319
that happened down there to us at Coon Dog Cemetery.

515
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:59.519
Wow, some some wild stuff you have, some man, friend,

516
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:03.039
you have some wild I'm almost saying your name, but

517
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.440
I'm not going to because you don't have it. And

518
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.960
you use your name, but you get into somebody stuff,

519
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.279
it doesn't okay, all right, okay, fair enough.

520
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:20.359
Yeah, yeah, I've got I've got some stuff going on

521
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.400
that I'll get with you later. But I figured it

522
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.160
out yet.

523
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.119
Okay, Yeah, I really don't.

524
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:28.599
I really honestly don't think it's a big foot.

525
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.039
Oh.

526
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.480
Like you know me, I've been in the woods twenty

527
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:35.960
one years and I've not ever seen anything like this.

528
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:41.279
So wow. Yeah, we're still dealing with that. Oh but

529
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.599
if you're interested, and I'll holler at you about.

530
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.960
That, yeah, yeah, definitely. Once you figure it out, let

531
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:49.720
me know. But thanks for coming out, man.

532
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:54.839
Okay, no problem. I'm gonna listen in the comments. It's

533
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.039

535
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.759

536
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:13.599

542
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:32.119
for coming up.

543
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.199
Oh, Okay, So when I was in Washington, I mean,

544
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.000
I'm trying to figure out which there was a lot.

545
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.519
I'm trying to figure out what story is share. Well,

546
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:52.039
a big one was when we were so we had

547
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:59.039
a motor home and we were up camping and literally

548
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:02.280
in the middle of them, I like we smelled something

549
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:13.599
and it was weird, but like something started throwing out

550
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:19.760
of our camp like literally like big rocks, just boom

551
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:27.440
boom boom, and I got so scared and I was like, dude,

552
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:31.679
what is out there? And my dog, I had a healer.

553
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.920
He he was under the camper just freaking growling, like

554
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.280
he would not come out. And we went out in

555
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.320
the morning about like six and there was two big

556
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:52.360
duns in the In the motor home, there was big

557
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.320
footprints and there was little footprints, and there was like

558
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:06.039
this tree and swear on everything, like literally like big

559
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.239
footprints and little footprints like like a mama and a baby.

560
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.559
I was like, but this is not real. So then

561
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.440
we kept going up there, right and uh, I would

562
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.840
go up there for like two weeks, and I'd bring

563
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:24.079
my kids and I had ten kids. So we go

564
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:27.679
up there and we just hang out. And this one night.

565
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:33.840
We were just sitting there and uh, we just start

566
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:48.159
hearing this freaking yelling, literal like screaming, and and I said,

567
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:50.360
it sounds like a baby deer is like getting killed

568
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:59.360
or something. And the big fos just kept screaming and screaming,

569
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.719
and finally I just yelled at the woods. I was like,

570
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:06.920
I literally went up with my gun to the woods,

571
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:11.599
like to the clearing and I was like, shut up,

572
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:18.639
you're scaring my kids dead silence. A freaking ranger came

573
00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:23.199
up there and he was like, there's a dead baby

574
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.920
deer down there. And I was like why and he

575
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:30.239
was like, well, I don't know why. And I was like, well,

576
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.519
I'm pretty sure I heard Big Foods and he was like, yep,

577
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:37.119
they're all out here.

578
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:38.599
I was like okay.

579
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.400
I mean it was just like a casual conversation like,

580
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:46.880
oh yeah, they're just hanging out here.

581
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:54.960
But that was around er. Yeah, okay, very interesting, very interesting.

582
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.760
So you're from that area, you just like to visit from.

583
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:03.280
There, and we used to go up there. I mean

584
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:11.440
usually you don't hear anything or like there's no activity

585
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.440
until you're there for like three four days, Like you

586
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.800
literally will not hear anything and then like my kids

587
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.639
will get freaked out because I like do tree knocks

588
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:26.880
and stuff like, because they would knock back and my

589
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:33.280
kids would be freaked out. Like one night we were

590
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:39.800
in a tent and literally heard them jumping out of

591
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:49.559
the trees. Just dum dump dude. I have so many stories.

592
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:51.000
I'm getting too pumped up.

593
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.159
That's wild. Well, Hate, I appreciate you coming up and

594
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:58.159
thank you for sharing some of them, and I hope

595
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:03.400
you are able to continue to hang out. Hey Stephen,

596
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:05.199
how are you doing?

597
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.159
Little Jeremi, how are you hate good?

598
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:14.119
I definitely wanted to share a couple of like more

599
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:21.679
circumstantial things that as I've listened to to yourself Saslaus

600
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:27.440
chronicles other other things that are just kind of like

601
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:33.360
weird in my life. I live in the Mountain West

602
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:38.559
in Utah, and you know, never heard any kind of

603
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:45.159
vocalizations or anything else like that. But back in twenty thirteen,

604
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.519
I was up in North Idaho at Prets Lake, hanging

605
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:58.119
out with some friends at a cabin, just out doing

606
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:02.960
you know, twenty to twenty three year old things, drinking

607
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:07.679
beers and whatever. Hurt A big rock get thrown in, well,

608
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.800
hurt a big splash, get thrown into the lake.

609
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:17.280
Could not see anything that happened. And then.

610
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:23.639
This last year, me and some friends actually owned some

611
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:30.880
land up in southeastern Idaho, and I went up by

612
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:39.800
myself to go camp and driving up, you know, definitely

613
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:43.280
kind of by us listening to all the different bigfoot

614
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:50.480
podcasts and everything got out of the car and the

615
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:58.320
tree got pushed over. So correlation, causation, whatever you'd like

616
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:03.239
to say. Definitely didn't see anything, didn't hear anything except

617
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:12.599
for those things. Definitely definitely interesting. The land that we

618
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:20.280
have has a good amount of deer, moose, everything else

619
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:24.639
like that. So we're also pretty far away from water,

620
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:32.559
so I don't think it's optimal optimal habitat, but definitely

621
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.440
just a couple of interesting things. So just definitely been

622
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.840
trying to share that. Yeah, definitely, that's.

623
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:42.320
Something I wanted to send an email to you about

624
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:44.280
because it's very circumstantial.

625
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:46.280
That's awesome.

626
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:46.639
Though.

627
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.840
Is that over by Palisades or.

628
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:51.159
No?

629
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:57.519
So this is in Bannock County, Idaho, not quite towards Palasades,

630
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.159
more towards the lot of hot Springs.

631
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:02.199
Got it?

632
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:07.280
Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, as I look at as I've

633
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.599
looked at like BFRO and everything. The only real encounter

634
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:18.000
was like back in the nineteen twenties. But it's it's

635
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:22.000
definitely squatchy up there. A lot of a lot of

636
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:29.000
open land, a lot of yeah, just mountainous region. So

637
00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.679
there's possibilities.

638
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:37.519
There's I talked to a guy a while back, or

639
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:43.119
talked to a witness about the Fort Hall area of Idaho.

640
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:46.400
Yeah, that that's further north.

641
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.480
Yeah, that that's on like the other side of Pocatello.

642
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:56.079
This was on the south southeastern side. So yeah, where

643
00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.719
lava hot springs or soda hot springs is.

644
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.079
You're in the mountains kind of kind of south of those.

645
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:09.679
So it's it's definitely very rugged up there. But like

646
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:14.239
I said, it's it's far away from a a water source,

647
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:15.960
but there is.

648
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:25.079
A lot of mountainous region. Yeah, it's kind of just yeah,

649
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:26.320
it's kind of squatchy up there.

650
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.400
Well, I appreciate you sharing that. I mean, there's nothing

651
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:36.280
something about when a tree gets pushed over near yet, dude,

652
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.400
that is freaky as I'll get out. It happens all

653
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:41.920
the time in Iowa where I go. It is wild,

654
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:43.119
wild stuff.

655
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:50.800
Right, and you know it coincidentally like, I'm very much

656
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:53.719
the you know, make some noise, make sure the bears

657
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:55.800
and the mountain lions and everything.

658
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.920
Know that I'm there.

659
00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:59.320
So I get out of my car and I slam

660
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:01.880
the door and going to get my chair out, and

661
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:03.519
suddenly a tree gets pushed over.

662
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:09.000
I'm like, okay, that's that's something, right, like absolutely absolutely.

663
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:15.079
Correlation may not be causation, but still it is. It's interesting.

664
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.159
It's a thing that makes you take notice for sure. Well, Steven,

665
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:24.159
I appreciate you coming up and sharing those for a

666
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:26.760
few minutes, and thank you for listening. I do appreciate that.

667
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.519
Yeah, absolutely, just yeah, keep on doing what you're.

668
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.320
Doing, all right, Thank you, man, have a good one.

669
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:42.360
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

670
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:45.639
around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I

671
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.519
would love to get out in those woods and experience

672
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:53.039
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can

673
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:56.679
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned, because it's

674
00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:01.639
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

675
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:04.920
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

676
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.519
even better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll

677
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.239
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

678
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:17.760
probably I'll say this, there may be stuff you haven't

679
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:24.000
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

680
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:26.119
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

681
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:28.960
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

682
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:34.159
check this out. You may know Jason Kenzie from his

683
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:39.079
documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can

684
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:42.280
not only go to the festival, but you can also

685
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:49.840
sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

686
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.639
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot Spots

687
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:58.599
to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign

688
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.280
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

689
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:05.519
for the next chapter in his documentary series, which is

690
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.639
Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in a lifetime deal.

691
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:11.920
It's just trust it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

692
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:17.039

698
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:44.360
the costs there. Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope to see

699
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:48.639
you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can

700
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:50.960
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

701
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.639
many people last year and the year before. It is

702
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.599
an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

703
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:02.320
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

704
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:05.000
I want to say something directly to a very specific

705
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:08.519
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

706
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.519
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

707
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:14.760
can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or

708
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:18.239
forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if

709
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:21.840
you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

710
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.000
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

711
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:28.599
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

712
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.679
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

713
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.320
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

714
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.480
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

715
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.320
on a remote oil field or a trucker with government

716
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.039
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

717
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:49.679
a soul, and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

718
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:53.239
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

719
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:57.000
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

720
00:47:57.119 --> 00:48:00.280
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

721
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.119
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

722
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:07.719
NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the

723
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.360
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

724
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:17.440
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

725
00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:20.559
at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear what

726
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:24.480
you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.

727
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:30.440
You've got the story, We've got the mic. See you

728
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:33.000
in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode

us that the world is bigger and stranger than we think,

731
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:41.800

732
00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:45.039
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
