Season 1

A Plains Cree witness heads into the Saskatchewan boreal forest before sunrise during a Sundance ceremony. Voices answer his calls from deep within the trees. The responses keep getting closer. Wood knocks begin echoing through the darkness. A powerful wet-dog odor fills the air. Something is moving just out of sight.


Later, a lifelong outdoorsman shares decades of encounters stretching from Oregon to Alaska. His experiences include a terrifying nighttime encounter with a red-haired Sasquatch near Salem, massive rocks thrown into a campsite, and a remarkable sighting of a Sasquatch feeding on clams along the Alaskan coast.


These accounts come from people who spent their lives in remote wilderness areas and know exactly what belongs in the woods.


Locations featured in this episode include Waterhen Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan, the Little North Fork area near Salem, Oregon, and remote coastal regions of Alaska.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big the Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to 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 --> 00:00:21.320
These are the.

8
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
Voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in,

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.359
because today you'll hear another account that just might change

10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:30.120
the way you see the woods forever.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.239
So stay with us.

12
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.280
Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his

13
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.640
fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey,

15
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.119
Thank you Dale, what brings you up today?

16
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:52.119
Sir? Well this see I'm in Canada at northern Saskatchewan,

17
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.200
just as the just above the Forgnite's parallel on the

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.799
west sun out of Saskatchewan where the boreal forest begins.

19
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:11.560
Right anyway, This happened in twenty eighteen and I usually

20
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.680
attend a sundance ceremony and on First First Nation planes

21
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.159
creed by the way from threety six territory and my

22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:28.519
encounter happened four o'clock five o'clock in the morning in

23
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:34.079
that lodge. This was on a reserve called water Hand

24
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.519
Lake Personation, right, and I was chosen to go and

25
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:44.000
look for the tree of life. It's called a malactic

26
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.359
and I was chosen. The four of us were chosen

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.480
to go and choose the tree. Right, And I got

28
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.319
up about four four thirty in the morning, made some breakfast,

29
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.840
seeing the guys in the center of the circle, and

30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.920
cook my breakfast. As I was eating, they were gone, right,

31
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.519
So they went straight south, which was sort of like

32
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.000
an open area. I'd say, i'd see about a football

33
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.199
field size, and then the rest is all surrounded by forest.

34
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.919
And I went over to the center of the circle

35
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:25.199
and I asked the uh the the guy that was

36
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.560
putting it on, and I said, which way did they go?

37
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:27.800
Oh?

38
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.240
They went straight south. That's okay. Sure. So as soon

39
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.360
as I got to the tree line, like, it wasn't like,

40
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.080
you know, to too uh thick or anything like that

41
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.280
at that point, right, So I called out to the guys.

42
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.560
I went in Maybe I don't know a good I

43
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.560
don't know one hundred feet into the bush. I called

44
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.000
out to the guys. I went, whoo whoo. I did that.

45
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.199
I did that twice. Sorry, that's a seagull flying about me.

46
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.879
And it called out to the southeastern side of me,

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.400
deeper into the bush. Oh, that's the guys. And I

48
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:12.840
didn't think nothing of it. I thought it was just

49
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.879
the guys out there, right, So I marched on. The

50
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.639
bush got thicker. I ended up stumbling onto like an

51
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.240
dirt road. It wasn't a dirt road, but I mean

52
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.680
a wagon road, an old, long time ago road. And

53
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.639
I called out again. I would who and then he

54
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.360
called me again. So I thought that was the guys

55
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.960
out there. So I walked in the next thing, you know,

56
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.319
I would say a good fifty feet to one hundred feet,

57
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.439
I heard this knock right on a tree trunk. Oh

58
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:58.719
that's strange, So I kept walking. Suddenly I called out again.

59
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.280
I went whoo whoo, and called me back again. This

60
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.800
time it was even closer. I would say, about fifty

61
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.240
feet closer. And then as I'm walking in this road,

62
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.759
the bush got so thick immediately, and I kept walking.

63
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.079
Then all of a sudden, I hear this tapping again

64
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.480
right on the tree trunk like probably like ten feet

65
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.839
away from me, and I looked. I ducked down, and

66
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.199
I looked around. I couldn't see a thing because the

67
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.519
bush was so thick. And this was in August. I mean,

68
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.360
like the dew was, you know, folding the trees over right,

69
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.040
I mean it was so wet that day that morning.

70
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.639
And suddenly I kind of stood still, and like the

71
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.959
previous guy you had on said, there was a smell

72
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:02.439
to this thin the being. It was kind of like

73
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.759
a musty smell, like a wet dog. This is exactly

74
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:08.959
That's why I wanted to share my story, because I

75
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.920
was listening to the guy and that is exactly what

76
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.000
I smell. And then and I thought to myself and

77
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.439
I said, no way. I froze and I looked around.

78
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.000
I turned my head around like three sixty to try

79
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.160
and look, Okay, where's this thing? Where is this thing?

80
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.399
And I couldn't see it was the bush was so thick.

81
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.439
And then at the time when I started to smell

82
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.360
this and I thought, oh, okay, this is this is

83
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.600
not the guys here, I turned around slowly. I was like,

84
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.399
I'm right on that kind of like a bush trail,

85
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.040
and the bush was so thick. I just booked it

86
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.240
out of there, and I was like, holy smokes, I

87
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.279
got the camp and I swear to god, you know,

88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.199
it was one of the scariest things in my life

89
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:10.600
to experience that. And then I was you know, I

90
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.199
was always skeptical, right, I'm skeptical. I got to see

91
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.000
it to believe it. That was my thought process, you know,

92
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.639
all the time. But when I experienced it that morning

93
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.879
in twenty eighteen of August, you know, now, when I

94
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.079
see you know, and hear these stories and I'm like, man,

95
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.680
that is similar to what you know I've experienced. And

96
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.959
it's one of those things where you say to yourself,

97
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.160
you know, holy man, did I was it real? Or

98
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.439
was it you? You know what I mean?

99
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.040
I didn't know just to know absolutely. Yeah, it's a

100
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.120
hundred percent on with you, dude. You just your mind

101
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:52.680
tries to take talking out of it.

102
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.120
Yeah. I mean, it's it's like like at that moment

103
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.120
and at that time where you know, it's like, man,

104
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.160
but I couldn't see nothing because the bush got so thick.

105
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.040
Like I mean, these things are smart, right, They're they're

106
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.759
they're so intelligent that they used the bush to their advantage.

107
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:18.519
That's like, like you have you know, these green berets

108
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.240
or whatever you know to go out, you know and

109
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.240
whatever and do all their you know, war type thing.

110
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.199
This guy, I mean, this thing used the bush to

111
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.600
his advantage. And I thought, you know I could, I'd

112
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.959
share that story with you and then with everybody else.

113
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.079
I listen to your podcast and all that kind of stuff.

114
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.759
I mean, it's.

115
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.279
Man, so thank you for coming up. Your story is fascinating.

116
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.360
I want to share something with you. So I talked

117
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.079
to a lot of people all the time, right, I

118
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.399
do a lot of interviews, and I was interviewing an

119
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.199
individual from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota earlier

120
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.160
today and he had a hypothesis. And his hypothesis is that, uh,

121
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.000
when certain ceremonies like the sun Dance are done, then

122
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.879
that brings them in. And to hear you talk about

123
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:14.519
your experiences that took place around the time of the

124
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.439
sun dance that was happening around water Hen is just

125
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:23.920
I mean, there there you go. It's fascinating, right, very

126
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.240
very cool to once you talk to enough people you

127
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.079
start to make connections like that, and just thank you

128
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.960
so much for sharing. It's it's always a privilege to

129
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.799
hear about things that happen on the different reservations and

130
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:41.679
in North America, and I appreciate them.

131
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.080
Oh, absolutely absolutely, And thank you for listening to my

132
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.879
story and good evening.

133
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.399
Yes there are you two.

134
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:50.240
Thanks.

135
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.399
That was so cool, very very cool.

136
00:08:59.480 --> 00:08:59.879
I'm good.

137
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.440
I'm from Oregon.

138
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.200
That's awesome, dude. I saw your comments. They're very interesting.

139
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.679
I just have a few things to say real quick.

140
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.919
It sounds like we're going to be talking about things,

141
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.200
and I would say, we have to be very careful

142
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.039
with what terms we use on this platform.

143
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.440
If you know what I mean, so well kind of

144
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.120
I'll try to you know, be you have.

145
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:28.799
To use you have to use things like unlived. You

146
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.720
have to be careful of saying certain like say words

147
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.600
like pew pew, which sounds not smart, but it's unfortunately

148
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.679
what you have to do on this thing.

149
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.440
So like what was the word? I couldn't even hear

150
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.679
what you said there the last time, instead of.

151
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.879
Like pew pew, it's it's really it makes you feel

152
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.559
like a two year old, but oh, instead of like

153
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.440
something that you would I don't even know how I

154
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.360
can explain it, Like a forty four.

155
00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.759
You know what I'm saying.

156
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.360
Oh, okay, you's got to kick.

157
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.320
They'll kick us off. So okay, feel free to share.

158
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.679
I'm really interested to hear what you've experienced in not

159
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.840
being out there in Oregon.

160
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:17.360
Well, I'm from North California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska and Canada.

161
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.279
I'm seventy one years old. When I in I was

162
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.600
Alaska king crab fishing, twenty years in the barks. He's

163
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.279
living in the wilderness and remote areas, and there's a

164
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.200
whole there's many stories, more than one. So starts out

165
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.840
when I'm twelve. I live in Salem, Oregon. On the radio,

166
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:44.279
Captain Frank Hansen on kb z Y, which they still

167
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.279
at that station here, says that he has a bigfoot

168
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.200
froze in the ice and you can go see it

169
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:59.240
for four dollars and fifty cents. It's in a chest freezer. Okay.

170
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.879
When he's in Yeah, he's a captain in the Air

171
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.080
Force pilot retired. So he went hunting in Ohio by

172
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.759
Lake Michigan. Because I got to talk to him when

173
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.799
I for like a half hour and got to see

174
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.799
this thing up close and personal. And I'm a hunter

175
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:20.399
fisherman taxidermy. I know what some fake thing looks like,

176
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:25.039
and it wasn't fake. It was real, frozen four inches

177
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.600
under the ice. Every eyes fixed and dilated. The hand

178
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.960
went up to block the pew pew because he had

179
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.679
pew pewed it from one hundred yards in the gut

180
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.200
and it went down. He waited like when you're hunting

181
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.440
an animal, you let it die peacefully. But it was

182
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:51.879
still alive, and he unalived it by pewpew, and it

183
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.720
brought its hand up to block it and it went

184
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.240
through the hand in it right over the left eye

185
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.279
center a blood and he put it in a freezer

186
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.000
and a still, you know, blood coming out fresh. It

187
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:12.200
curled in the ice and froze every at eyelash in place.

188
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.480
It had palms that were light and dark black skin.

189
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.320
The hair was longer at the bottom of the arm

190
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.919
down to the elbow, just like a mountain gorilla. But

191
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:27.480
the face was the mountain gorilla, but mountain gorillas have

192
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.799
a bulvous mouth. This had a human mouth with human teeth.

193
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.360
And I looked at every hair in place. If you

194
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.840
make attack like a wax for dummy, you have to

195
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.519
put every hair in place and there's a little needle

196
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.919
mark by every hair. This had hair just like you

197
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.159
got on your arm, you know how it comes out

198
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.559
of your skin. It had all the wrinkles, It had

199
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:55.600
dirt under his fingernails. It was an uncircumcised adolescent male,

200
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.480
so it wasn't huge. It was small, but it wasn't

201
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.639
human in any sense of the word. So I'm twelve

202
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.240
years old with my grandpa brother and I'm talking to

203
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.840
Frank Anson about this thing, and it was you know,

204
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.919
I've seen a lot of dead things, so I know

205
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.039
what's real and not and it I guarantee you that

206
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:23.720
thing was a real bigfoot. So we all now years later,

207
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.879
I'm questioning in my mind what I saw because you know,

208
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:32.080
it's just like kind of strange. And I'm up camping

209
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.720
on the fourth of July with my pregnant wife and

210
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.000
two year old son. We had to hike in. It

211
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.879
wasn't at a campground. It was behind a gravel pit

212
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.480
east to sail them up by the Little North Fork

213
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:49.159
by the Cement Bridge, behind a gravel pit. But he

214
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.480
could camp there for free. And the trail went way

215
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.600
up into the mountains and it split and went down

216
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.080
the river right there. And split and went right through

217
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.799
our camp, so we were blocking I gets the trail

218
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:02.919
to get to the river, you might say, but we

219
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.759
didn't realize that because there was an old campfire there,

220
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.679
so somebody had been camping there before and it was

221
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.919
free camping, so we stayed there. You didn't have to pay.

222
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.480
So as it's getting in the afternoon evening, we got

223
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:23.639
the whole camp set up, fire going. Everybody ate. Now

224
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.440
I'm not drinking or smoking anything that would cause me

225
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:35.879
to see something weird, but we're hearing rocks being thrown around,

226
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:40.200
this coming through the trees, the small ones, and we're

227
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:44.960
hearing something walking around bipedal, you know, two steps stop.

228
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:49.159
We're hearing. Now, this was before it was on TV

229
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.919
at all, and in uh, I forget what year it was,

230
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.559
kids about two years. We're had seventy four sometimes, but

231
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.799
letter Knee Boy put out TV show that explains this

232
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:06.120
better after this event. So we're hearing this stuff. So

233
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.720
we're come to the edge of the campground. We're looking

234
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.360
because it's about there's birch trees about one hundred feet

235
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.480
tall right by us, and then about eighty yards to

236
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.159
the bottom of a cliff eighty to one hundred yards,

237
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.799
and then the cliff goes up one hundred yards and

238
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.440
then the mountain and just timber, you know, virgin timber.

239
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.399
No one's logged up there. And we're standing there and

240
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.720
through the tree tops comes the boulder that lands one

241
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.759
to two feet to my right foot. It's the ground.

242
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.679
My buddy had a three fifty seven I didn't even

243
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.279
know about. He pulled it out of his back pocket

244
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.600
and emptied it up the hill. And you can hear

245
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.000
things running, but we don't know what it is yet.

246
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.639
So when you could hear stuff moving around the whole

247
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.039
camp as it got dark, and big branches snapping, and

248
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.120
we didn't know what that meant, then I do. Now

249
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.240
i'd have packed up and left, but I already had

250
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.960
the beds made, and for some reason, only time in

251
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.080
my life something I laid a tarp down, put branches

252
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.279
and ferns, made a nice bed, put a tarp on it,

253
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.960
sleeping bags and covered with a tarp. And then for

254
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.399
some reason something told me to cover it with brush.

255
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.440
So it was like keep the dew off everybody, But

256
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.600
really it was camouflage. And I've never done that ever

257
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.720
in my life, but that night I did so because

258
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.039
we're hearing stuff. There was a big stump in that

259
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.879
little camp area, and I drug that over the fire

260
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.240
and built the big fire on it. I knew that

261
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.919
was going to burn all night. And I'm sleeping by

262
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.480
the fire. My buddy's in a tent about twenty feet

263
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.960
away on the other side of the fire. And at midnight,

264
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.879
but I fall asleep. At midnight, I hear him yelling, Brad, Brad,

265
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:59.759
is that you. I sit up and I see I'm

266
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:01.799
sitting down, and reason why, My head's the only thing

267
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.519
was sticking out, so I didn't notice this. But I

268
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.079
see a red bigfoot stooping down to look in the

269
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.839
tent and he's going, Brad, is that you? And I'm going, no,

270
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.319
I'm over here. And when I sat up, that's when

271
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.960
I saw it. When I yelled, it looked right at me,

272
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.000
ran over to me, kneeled down next to me, looked

273
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.880
me in the face. Fear came over its face. We

274
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.400
locked eyes, and it brought its hand up to break

275
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.559
eye contact, and then turned and went back the other way,

276
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.680
and it grabbed a limb up in the tree that

277
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.160
I'm six four at that time, and I had to

278
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.960
jump up to grab that limb, and it grabbed the

279
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.240
limb and swung into the brush where it was so

280
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.559
thick it takes me two hours with a machete to

281
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.759
go fifty feet. It went through there like a locomotive,

282
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.319
and it snapped that limb off, and I saw hair

283
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.079
up there, and I wish I have grabbed it, because

284
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.799
I was twenty years old. Didn't think about that because

285
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.880
I freaked out what I saw. The only thing I

286
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.839
had with me was a little tiny cub scout hatchet

287
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.039
that wouldn't have done anything but made it mad. But

288
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.759
I'm lucky it ran away because well, oh, I missed

289
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.079
the part before dark. We walked down. Now this is

290
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.119
why I built the fire. I missed part of it.

291
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.359
I'm old. We walked down. The girls had to go

292
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.839
peece So we're camping in the woods and there's He

293
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.880
took his wife that way down the trail, and I

294
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.960
took my wife the other way. Okay, as I'm holding

295
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.400
her hand in my left hand and my two year

296
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.880
old in my right hand. Just as she started to pee,

297
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:47.480
that adult male that was black with gray hair, forty

298
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.240
feet away, just down the hill. When he stood up,

299
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.960
he was about up to my knees. But he was

300
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.119
down the hill. He was huge, and that's a ran

301
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:02.119
so fast and it jumped the giant five to fifteen

302
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:06.000
hundred pound boulders there. He hit them boulders and they're

303
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.240
moving and he just was gone, you know, skipped over

304
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.279
those things. He probably hit about five six rocks and

305
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:17.359
they all moved well. Later on the next day, on

306
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.519
the way out, I got in there and I could

307
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.680
jack five point fifty with my legs and gym class

308
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.079
in high school, and I was in perfect shape. I

309
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.960
was twenty one years old that year, I think, and

310
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.920
I couldn't budge none of them rocks that he moved.

311
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.720
So we just picked up everything, packed out, and I

312
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.480
never went in the woods again, unarmed or with people.

313
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.240
I just can't, yeah, from what I saw. Okay, now

314
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.000
many years later, I'm fishing up in Alaska. So we're

315
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.519
sitting in the boat and the elders told me there

316
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.559
was big fit over here, and you know, I'm thinking, well,

317
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.000
I saw one once, but I'm still questioning myself. And

318
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.200
I saw the one when I was twenty one. I'm

319
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:05.359
really not questioning that anymore, but I'm still like, you know,

320
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.240
still kind of want because it's something you're not used

321
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.960
to seeing. And there's a big griz on the boat.

322
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.119
And up in Alaska, when you go to the beach

323
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.759
where it's pebbles beach, you can just dig one hole

324
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.839
and fill as many buckets and clams as you want.

325
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.920
You know, we get five buckets out a little hole. Well,

326
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.519
there was a grizzly bear stitting there on the beach

327
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.920
eating clams. All of a sudden he sniffs the air

328
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:38.039
and gets up and not walks away runs. Well about

329
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.759
within four minutes later, a big foot walks out of

330
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:46.440
the thing, sits in that hole and starts eating clams.

331
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.759
And the elders are like, yep, there he is. You know,

332
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.000
we're on the boat, so you feel pretty safe because

333
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.359
you can leave. It was a big boat. So after that,

334
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.279
the guy is on the boat go, oh, you got

335
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:05.000
to go to Port Chatham or nice Sport. So it's

336
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:10.559
about fifty years after that event happened. So and I've

337
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.279
already been into all the villages and I know the

338
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.599
kids and the elders, and they're telling me that story

339
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.640
I'd never heard of until then. And I was probably

340
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:24.519
twenty twenty one years old then. And so we go there,

341
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.240
and we're on the beach and I'm walking the old

342
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.880
post office. I stand on the dock and I walk

343
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:37.000
around the tree line. But there I've seen things that

344
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.039
you can't ex science says isn't real. More than one

345
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:43.200
thing like the UFO thing. I've seen that as a

346
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.519
kid the same year as I saw the Bigfoot, and

347
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.240
I was in my grandpa's living room, which looked over

348
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.880
the whole Salem from West Salem, and I'm looking at

349
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.799
the sky. Now, this isn't Bigfoot related, but some people

350
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.359
say it is. This It wasn't related to any of

351
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.920
the stories I have. I just saw it, so I'm looking.

352
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:08.400
It's just there's a sliver of a blue moon, and

353
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.160
to the left is two stars, and it's still blue sky,

354
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.599
and it's just starting to get like you know, dim light,

355
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.599
and one of the stars is just brilliant. So I'm

356
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.400
watching it and it just keeps getting more brilliant, more vibrant,

357
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:28.240
until it comes right into our atmosphere of smoking fire,

358
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:30.400
and it looks like it's coming right at me, but

359
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.960
it's really six miles away, and it comes down over

360
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:36.440
the city and it stops, and out of that cloud

361
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.640
a three hundred and twenty five foot three thirty five

362
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.440
foot tic tac silver thing pops out. And I can

363
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.200
tell how big it was because it was across town

364
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.200
and we're on the hill, and I could see it

365
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.920
was three blocks long. So later on I went over

366
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.640
there where I grew up on the other side of

367
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.279
the town and paste that area off was three hundred

368
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:02.400
and thirty five feet. That's pretty big. And what that

369
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:08.400
thing did. It was front page news in the Salem

370
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:14.880
paper and the Oregonian. I think I was in the

371
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.400
ninth grade, so I think it was nineteen sixty nine.

372
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.960
Fifty seven other people saw it, according to the Oregonian,

373
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:28.200
and fifty two was reported the next day. But when

374
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.440
it came into the atmosphere, it stopped, and then it

375
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.279
went two more places. That's called triangulating. It's what do

376
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.799
you call that, Yeah, triangulating its place in the universe.

377
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.440
It streaked to the other end of the Willamette Valley

378
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.960
faster than your eyes could track it. You couldn't, you know,

379
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.480
you're trying to catch up with it. Then it triangulated again, stopped,

380
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.799
came right back to where it came in, and it

381
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.799
flew out and was gone. But it was in the

382
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.319
newspt and I told my parents and grandparents Sunday. It

383
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.519
was on a Sunday dinner, right before the last day

384
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.640
of school. So I tell them, now I'm going to

385
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.240
get my head shaved. And my dad, I'm not lying.

386
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.200
I'm not backing down. You can beat me if you

387
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.519
want to, I'm not backing down. He says, well, you

388
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.640
have all weekend to think about it, so when you

389
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.279
come over from school, be ready to get your fanny whooped.

390
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:22.519
You know.

391
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.559
So at school, I'm freaking out because I know my dad.

392
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.319
He's got a good belt or switch, whatever's going to happen.

393
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.599
You know.

394
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.640
I'm about and I'm a kid, so I put cardboard

395
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:38.200
down my pants. But at school they filled the newspaper

396
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.960
and they go, did anybody see this? And I'm like, oh,

397
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.640
here we go again, and I slowly raise my hand.

398
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.720
You know. So now I'm a hero. At school, everybody

399
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.799
wanted to know what I saw, and I told him.

400
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.240
But on the way home, I'm walking home and all

401
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.119
my relatives are in the front yard and I'm like

402
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.400
two blocks, I can't tell everybody smiling and holding newspapers.

403
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.440
But I'm thinking, oh great. All the relatives came over

404
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.359
to watch Brad get his beating, you know, because I'm

405
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.559
in trouble and I'm going to be grounded all summer.

406
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.960
But when I got there, everybody's I'm never gonna call

407
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.079
you a liar again. My dad's there because it's made front.

408
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:24.880
Page news, So right, I was, what a wild story.

409
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.039
But that's not even all of it because another time fishing,

410
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.559
and I have parents. As a kid, my mom told

411
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.079
me I was a had second sight, so weird things

412
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:43.319
have happened, said, my grandma had it, and you explain

413
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.559
what that is? Second sight is he kind of know

414
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.519
when certain things are going to happen. It's not like

415
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.200
you're going to learn the lottery number, but out of

416
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.960
the corners of your eye. I called them shadow dancers

417
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.799
and you'd see a dark figure movement. Well they say

418
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.480
that's a ghost or a demon or whatever. So in

419
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:10.200
my bedroom, I'm like five six years old, I go, Mom,

420
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.799
there's something in the closet that comes out and it

421
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.640
has dark red green eyes and it's just he goes

422
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.039
and it's just a giant shadow. But the room is like,

423
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:22.960
you're afraid half to death when you see this thing.

424
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.480
And I seen it, probably four or five times. They're

425
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.480
watching me, and my mom goes, oh, you're dreaming. Put

426
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:35.119
a night light in there. Night light ain't gonna help. Oh,

427
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:38.000
Tabith is here. I've got to see her before she

428
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:43.279
does really good music. Anyway, I see that thing, and

429
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.920
finally my mom goes, just cast it out by the

430
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.079
name of Jesus Christ and buy his blood and by

431
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:53.480
his stripes, and it was gone. Never saw it again. Well,

432
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.599
now we don't own that house. I went to Alaska fishing.

433
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.400
I'm seventy years old. I come home and I parked

434
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.279
my Maserati in front of the house of where I

435
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:05.559
grew up, and I go, everything started with a white

436
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:09.920
Masarati hard top convertible, really nice, and uh, I park

437
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.200
it there to take a picture in the ladies ninety

438
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.079
years old comes out of the house and she goes,

439
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.480
I know who you are. I go, how do you

440
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.319
know who I am? She goes, you're brad you grew

441
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.759
up here. I go, yeah, well, I know everybody in

442
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.279
the neighborhood, you know, And she does, Now I've been

443
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:30.480
back in you know, many years, and we start talking.

444
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.200
So I get to go look at where the house

445
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.440
I got to grow up and then telling her stories,

446
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.759
and she goes, your bedroom's haunted. You know that there's

447
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.759
a porthole in there. My ex husband did some real

448
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.920
evil stuff in his life, and I'm sure he's burning

449
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:50.119
a hell now. And he opened a doorway in that room,

450
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:52.640
and I go, I closed that doorway when I was five.

451
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:59.160
So that's kind of confirmation of what you know, of

452
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.799
what that memory. You know what I mean.

453
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.519
So sorry, sir, you're saying you closed that as well.

454
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.000
And he opened it by doing whatever evil she was talking.

455
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.920
He opened it afterwards, oh many years later because oh,

456
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.960
so I'm supposed to go back with a priest or

457
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.279
a Catholic. They already did it once, but it's not closed.

458
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.839
So she wants you. She wants you to go back

459
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.839
and do the same thing you did when you were five.

460
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:31.640
Yeah, but at that time I was hurt, had CFS leak,

461
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.039
been forty years in bed from a concussion and spinal injury,

462
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.200
and I was too weak to try to do anything.

463
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.720
I didn't want to fight that. But now I'm doing better.

464
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.960
So I got it pussion and they told me I'm

465
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.559
going to die, going to put me on morphine. In

466
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.839
ninety one, I spent forty years in bed with migraines

467
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:58.119
and spinal injury, and then a miracle happened and I

468
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:02.240
heard I played guitar right knees. I was a fisherman

469
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.680
twenty years in the Bearing Sea. So now I'm in

470
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.640
bed and I quit playing guitar for thirty years, and

471
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:12.359
I heard the word music. I get up. I could

472
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.440
barely walk to the coffee pot at that point, or

473
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.519
the bathroom, but I get up, walk out in the yard.

474
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.400
There's no one in the house. There's no one on

475
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:23.079
the hill. It's an old house built in eighteen fifty

476
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.000
three by monks who had a Catholic boys school on

477
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:32.240
the hill in Seattle. It's called Church Hill by South Park. Okay,

478
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.359
that house was haunted. In the next house I moved

479
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.160
in right after that was built the same year by monks,

480
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.119
and it was haunted too. That's another story. Weird things

481
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:46.359
have happened to Brad. We're playing Uno there and we

482
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:50.279
see an old man walked by the dining room window

483
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.000
on the side, walk like four or five feet from

484
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.839
the window, turn right, come right towards the door, walk

485
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.480
by that window. But the space between and the door

486
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.319
in the window is just you know four inches, the

487
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.079
doors wide open. We're playing. You know, I'm sitting right

488
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.680
by the door. We all see the same person.

489
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:09.960
We all.

490
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:13.240
I get up and there's no one there. Every all

491
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:15.599
the kids are with us. They get up, run around

492
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.480
that hole, they go every which way trying to find

493
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:20.759
this person. And they got We saw a goho. So

494
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.559
that happened a whole bunch of times. But there was

495
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:28.359
also the dark shadow things that were there, and one

496
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:32.400
had a hunch back, one was skinny, and it was

497
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:35.440
I was sick there. They told me I'm going to die.

498
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:38.480
They put me on morphine. I got clean. I got

499
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:40.559
off it. They said I'd never get off it because

500
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:44.279
I was on three hundred and twenty milligrams and I'd

501
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.279
have a stroke or a heart attack if I could

502
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.759
sit up in three number eight delattas, which the doctor

503
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.720
said was equal to twelve grams a day. And you're

504
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:58.359
going to die. So I lived. I says God has

505
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:00.599
another plan for me. And it took a year and

506
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.319
a half of withdrawals on top of the migraines and

507
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.079
this mital injury to get clean. Now I'm doing way better.

508
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:14.279
I'm playing music, writing music, meeting really great people, big

509
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.079
names in the industry put it that way. I got

510
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.359
the zoom call before AI. I was on a zoom

511
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.640
call with Paul McCartney because one of the songs I

512
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.640
wrote were inspired because I saw the Ed Sullivan Show

513
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.880
in sixty four was my birthday, so I got to

514
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.000
stay up and watch that. So I wrote this song

515
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.440
with him in mind. And I can kind of tell

516
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.960
that to you if you forget that. It was like

517
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.200
she was like sunshine on a cloudy day, like a

518
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:45.119
breath of fresh air in the middle of May.

519
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.599
Is that Do you have that published anywhere?

520
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.480
No, that's what I'm trying to get it patent down.

521
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.599
Before I put you're trying to do it right now? Okay,

522
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:54.039
that's yeah.

523
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:58.200
I got a whole bunch of Wow, what an incredible

524
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:01.400
story you have, just so your entire life is fascinating.

525
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:04.480
Oh well, I almost got eaten by two grizzly bears

526
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.759
and I think God saved me. Where was that at

527
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:15.119
up there in Alaska? We were let's see walking. We

528
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.000
were hit the beach in Glacier Bay and there's bear

529
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.559
tracks and moose tracks all over the beach. So we

530
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:26.400
don't have a gun camera and we're twenty, so we're stupid.

531
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.799
So we're going to follow this creek back in through

532
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:34.000
this slew and back in to see where the spring

533
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.279
comes out. But it tightens up fielders. The brush is

534
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.640
so close I didn't feel safe, and there were walked

535
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:43.759
in really quiet. But on the way out we're talking normal,

536
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:47.240
me and an old man named Tom. And as we

537
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:49.359
get in the middle of that swamp, you're about ankle

538
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.720
deep in mud, about three inches of water over that

539
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.079
we hear something big getting up forty feet behind us,

540
00:32:56.799 --> 00:33:02.079
branches breaking, and then we hear the roar that just

541
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:08.000
like the base in a concert. Wasn't as bad as that,

542
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:11.599
but if that brought fear and you got weak in

543
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:15.480
the knees and you about just like we're just paralyzed.

544
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:20.160
Was turned around real slow and looked. Now, we're so

545
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:25.200
close to this bear that I'm six four and he's

546
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.759
on a little rise just above the swamp, so he's

547
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:34.039
about four inches higher than I am. But I'm looking

548
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:39.480
straight at this belly button. We are so close to

549
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.680
that bear, you're inside his head so big his eyes

550
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.319
point out so he and he tilts his head with

551
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.079
one eye, then tilts his head with the other eye

552
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.079
because he can't see us when he looks straight at us,

553
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:54.079
but he can smell us. And I go, don't move

554
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.640
until he looks away, and then back away slow, and

555
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.880
I'm thinking I'm gonna get eating right here right now.

556
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.400
He roars again that which is oh. I thought I

557
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.960
was going to lose my everything, and held my ground

558
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:13.000
and he looked down and we started to lay back

559
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:18.079
down because we didn't move. We backed away slow. Then

560
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:20.199
he laid down. Well, he was laying on top of

561
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.880
a moose he killed, and all he cared about was

562
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.559
guarding that moose. And we weren't gonna get any closer

563
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.880
to that. But when we got out of that swamp,

564
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:32.800
I hit the beach, ran through that brush, tripped on

565
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:34.880
a little thing, and then got off the trail and

566
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.199
I was like a locomotive getting down to the beach.

567
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.599
I didn't stop as ill scraped up, but I didn't

568
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.440
slow down. I picked up a thirty man wooden skiff,

569
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.000
turned it around, pushed it fifteen feet back in the

570
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:51.199
water where two weeks before thirty people tried to move

571
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.039
that boat two inches on the dock. We had to

572
00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:03.719
use the crane, couldn't move it, but adrenaline. That stuff works. Yeah,

573
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.599
and I have a boat running and back in the

574
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.639
water before Tom got back to the boat.

575
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:11.599
That's wild, Brad.

576
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:13.480
That was your first bear thing.

577
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.960
Oh my goodness, you have some incredible stories.

578
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.719
Thank you so much for coming up and for sharing,

579
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:27.320
you know, your bigfoot encounters, your UAP sited, your UFO sightings,

580
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:28.880
and everything else you've experienced.

581
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.320
I appreciate you coming up, sir.

582
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.440
I got a whale one for you if you want

583
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:34.960
to hear it. I got the other bear one too,

584
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:35.800
if you got time.

585
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.320
All right, let's hear Let's hear two more if you're

586
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:41.199
willing to share in that.

587
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:44.719
Oh youah, no problem, Okay. The second time, it's the

588
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.800
end of the season, so it's fall. That's when the

589
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.039
bears are the most dangerous because they're going to eat

590
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:54.119
anything they can to get fat for the winner. So

591
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:59.199
I'm with eleven girls in Icy Bay, little cabin, and

592
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.760
the air is a deer trail with the brush cut

593
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.880
down so the wings don't hit the trees when they land.

594
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.280
So it's about one hundred and fifty some yards to

595
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:13.679
the woods, and we're walking towards where the plane's gonna land,

596
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:18.239
and we're about three hundred yards from the cabin, big meadow.

597
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:27.840
Out of the woods comes a big red kodiak. It's huge.

598
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:32.239
I'm telling my brother, do not do your bear imitation,

599
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:35.960
because it's really good when people hear it. But compared

600
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:38.280
to a bear, because I already heard one up close,

601
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:48.880
you ain't pooh right. So my brother he's not packing,

602
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:51.400
he's not packing a full six pack, but he won't

603
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:55.440
do this again. He roars that bear stood up, looked

604
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.519
smell of the wind, and closed within seconds forty feet

605
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.280
from us. And now he's standing out. I go right,

606
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:07.639
don't run. He's doing the same thing, looking and he

607
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:09.519
doesn't know where we are because we're not moving, but

608
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.960
he can smell us. So when the bear looked away,

609
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.280
I go you go right, I'll go left. He's gonna

610
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.760
only eat one of us. So right when it looked down,

611
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.000
the first airplane showed up. The guy got eleven girls

612
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.000
standing like sixty yards behind me. They're looking at the bear.

613
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:33.400
They're not even running. I'd have been running. I guess

614
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:37.719
I was way closer. So right before the bear decides

615
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:40.679
he's gonna just come down and close in on us,

616
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:45.119
the first plane shows up, little bush plane sees the

617
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:48.480
bear and does a power dive on the bear between

618
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:51.280
us and the bear scares him back in the woods.

619
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.079
I'm knocking on wood. God saved my rump that day,

620
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.079
you know.

621
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:56.119
Man.

622
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:02.280
So that was like another you know, traumatic moment. So

623
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:05.480
now we'll go to the whale story. It's not it's

624
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.079
more funny than anything else.

625
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.400
So Indiana, I'm supposed to write a book.

626
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.159
I got way more. I got way more. So I'm

627
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:19.440
on the I'm a welder, fitter, engineer, decand king, crab,

628
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:21.199
fisherman all that.

629
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:23.519
So my.

630
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.760
Uh, we're I'm welding because we got the worst skipper

631
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.280
in the fleet and he keeps crashing into the boats

632
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.360
or dock or whatever. And he broke the bow. He

633
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.719
hit on the front port side quarter, you know where

634
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.480
you usually come in and bump real easy. He's crashing

635
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.920
into everything. Because we find out the skipper's shooting all

636
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.800
the coding and the medavat kit he's loaded. You know,

637
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.920
we got rid of that skipper. But anyway, I'm welding that.

638
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:58.079
And on a ship, you never throw anything into the

639
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.039
wind because it's going to come back on you, right,

640
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.719
So I'm welding and all of a sudden, I get

641
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.199
hit and it's like five in them. I'm welding all night.

642
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.280
It's just barely getting light and skinning light, and I

643
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.840
haven't I'm just looking at my weld and my hood's down,

644
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:20.079
and all of a sudden, I get hit with the

645
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:26.480
most rotten, stinky, funky the smelly fish spray and I

646
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:29.119
tear my hood off because I think the cook had

647
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.360
something rotten. He threw it into the wind and he

648
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.719
got all over me. I threw my hood off, jump up,

649
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.639
and I'm ready to, you know, fight somebody. Nobody's that dumb,

650
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:41.320
and I'm covered with this stuff and no one's there,

651
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:44.440
So I'm where did this come from? I'm looking around.

652
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:47.039
I look down over the ship are I'm on a

653
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:50.039
three hundred and eighty foot not ship and there's one

654
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:55.000
hundred foot whale scratching his belly right below me, watching

655
00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.960
me well on the barnacles on the ship, scratching the

656
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.199
barnacles off of And I look right up this giant

657
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:05.199
eyeball look right in it, and I go, hey, buddy,

658
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.199
good morning. You're gonna get flashburn if you keep watching

659
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:12.880
me well, so he kind of rolls back over and

660
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.280
hits me again, and I'm going, oh, my word, I

661
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:19.920
know exactly what it smelled like for Jonah and the

662
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.440
belly of the whale. It was back.

663
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:26.000
That's hilarious, you know.

664
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:30.039
So that was And I look out and it's daylight now.

665
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.400
So between me and the horizon, there's one hundred and

666
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:37.440
fifty whales in Bristol Bay all spouting and you know

667
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.960
how they breach because they're back in the feeding grounds.

668
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:42.440
I go, oh, this is why don't I have a

669
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:47.960
movie camera? You know, yes, awesome moment. But there's there's

670
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:49.199
other ones too, you.

671
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.039
Know, so brag what what?

672
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:55.559
You really should write a book man, that it would

673
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.559
be fascinating. You really should consider doing it. But thank

674
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.760
you so much much for coming up and sharing uh

675
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:04.199
stories from your life.

676
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:05.079
I appreciate it.

677
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.599
I hardly ever tell that to those stories because people

678
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:10.559
think you're crazy.

679
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:13.360
You know, you should tell them more. You should tell

680
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:13.800
those stories.

681
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.199
Oh I do I tell them? Do the kids know them?

682
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:17.719
And everybody? There?

683
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:17.920
You go?

684
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:20.159
Man, I got, I got. I'm a storyteller, so I

685
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:23.159
write music and they're kind of like ballads. There's a

686
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:27.840
story in each of those. You have a beautiful day,

Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

712
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.440
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, man, I

713
00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:51.360

pretty cool. Sasquatch Summerfest is coming up July tenth through

718
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.199
better than the previous years. You may know Jason Kenzie

719
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.760
from his documentary series Searching for Sasquatch.

720
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:19.440

forest outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot

724
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:38.800
spots to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to

726
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.880
filmed for the next chapter in his documentary series, which

727
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.199
is Searching for Sasquatch. This is a once in lifetime deal.

728
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:54.159
It's just it's gonna be a wild, wild experience. To

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:57.800

to Priscilla for giving me that code so that you

734
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:22.280
guys can can get a little help with the cost there.

735
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:26.880
Appreciate that Priscilla. Before we wrap this episode, I want

736
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:30.199
to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

737
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.199
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and

738
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.199
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

739
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:40.320
if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's

740
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.159
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

741
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:46.719
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

742
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:50.320
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

743
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.480
and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

744
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:56.760
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

745
00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:00.679
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that makes sense.

746
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:05.039
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

747
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.199
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

748
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:11.719
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

749
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:15.599
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

750
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.920
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

751
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.000
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

752
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.519
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

753
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:29.320
or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA, or

754
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.719
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

755
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:37.480
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

756
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.679
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

757
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:45.719
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

758
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.519
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

759
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:55.920
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

762
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:04.440
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

763
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.360
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
