A man from rural Gilboa, New York finally shares a story he kept silent about for decades. At just five years old, while riding a snowmobile with his father, he witnessed something in the snowy woods that didn’t match anything he’d ever been taught was possible.

What he saw weren’t the massive, towering creatures people expect — but two smaller, upright beings standing in the trees, watching him in complete silence.

That moment stayed buried… until later discoveries began surfacing.

Years afterward, unexplained 14-inch footprints, eerily straight trackways, and multiple whispered sightings from trusted locals began emerging across Schoharie County, West Fulton, and the forests surrounding the Gilboa Reservoir. Hunters, families, and lifelong outdoorsmen all reported encounters they couldn’t explain — and most never told publicly.

In this episode, the witness connects the dots between his childhood encounter and a growing pattern of activity that suggests something has been quietly moving through this region for generations.

👉 The full, uncensored account — including details not shared publicly, additional sightings, and why the witness believes these were juveniles — is available exclusively to members.

Also includes more accounts from Shiprock, New Mexico and Colorado!

How are you doing doing well?

20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.799
I think we've talked before.

21
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.520
No, I have watched before, but I've never spoken with you.

22
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.319
All right, Well, hey got one of those voices, but

23
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.840
feel free to share what you've come up to share Christopher.

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.400
Okay, Well, when I was when I was a young kid,

25
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.480
and I was probably about five years old, i was

26
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.959
living in a town called Gilbo in New York, which

27
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.640
is in Skaheri County, and his very rural town.

28
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.319
I'm so excited for this.

29
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.159
It was about literally probably about a six or seven

30
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.920
mile drive to the nearest grocery store. And my school

31
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.760
was there was about thirty to thirty five kids per grade,

32
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.640
per grade, not per class, not per class, but per grade.

33
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.319
So it was a small little school, a lot of farms.

34
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.640
I'm I'm on a summobile with my father, and I'm

35
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.799
sitting in the front of the summobile and I've got

36
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.400
my hands placed on this steering the steering wheel, but

37
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.079
the handlebars, if you will, and he's obviously running the controls,

38
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.759
and I'm just a little guy. And there was trails

39
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.560
behind our house. Right behind our house, it kind of

40
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.159
became fairly steep, and there was an old barn abandoned bar.

41
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:25.639
Now this is probably like nineteen seventy four, seventy three,

42
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.520
seventy four right in there, so there weren't a lot

43
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.719
of media of any of this stuff at that time.

44
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.759
And what I saw in my mind is something that

45
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.800
was sort of unique, because I did not see a

46
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:48.759
seven eight foot conical had big foot monster. I saw

47
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.000
as we were coming down this trail, which was not

48
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.759
which is hindsight, was not very far from our house,

49
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.960
there was snow on the ground. Obviously we're on a

50
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.680
snowmoll bill, probably eight or ten inches. And as I

51
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.280
was coming down this trail, I'm looking to my right

52
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.199
down a fairly fairly decent drop off, and there's some

53
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.400
pine trees that are down kind of near the bottom

54
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.319
of this hill. As I'm looking down, and I see

55
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:24.199
two upright brown beings with very black eyes that are

56
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.919
standing there and they're looking at me, and my head

57
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.840
just turned and I'm looking at them, and we're looking

58
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:35.240
right at each other, probably at a distance of sixty feet,

59
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:41.599
maybe not far from Gilboa, in a town called West Fulton,

60
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:46.280
which is in the same county, one of the high

61
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.479
elevations of the county. As well, four people, two of

62
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.800
which I know, were coming home from a town called

63
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.199
Coba Skill, which is the biggest town in the county,

64
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:57.800
and they had been out to dinner and they'd had

65
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.360
a couple of cocktails in there. They're kind go in

66
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.199
the back way home, but that's sort of where they lived,

67
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.240
you know. And summer night and they're coming down this

68
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.400
road it's called Westfolton Road, and there's something in the

69
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.080
road and it's a nice, warm night, you know, kind

70
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.199
of windows down type of night, eleven o'clock or so.

71
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.680
Nobody is. Nobody is you know, over the limit. Nobody

72
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.360
is crazy. There's no funny stuff going on. They just

73
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.240
had a couple of beers and had dinner. And in

74
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:35.120
the middle of the road lies a bipedal thing. And

75
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.720
as they come down the road and the lights get

76
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:42.439
closer and they approach it, it stands up, kind of shoots

77
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.199
them a look, and then you know, one steps it

78
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.839
over into the bank and up the trees and gone,

79
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.360
gone it is. But all four of them, four witness

80
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.639
to it, two of them which I've spoken to, and

81
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.480
you know, freaked out, that's for sure, but not really listen,

82
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.560
we know what bears look like up here, Okay, everybody

83
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.560
like you know, it's there's there's no there's no mistake

84
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.639
in this. So yeah, there's there's a lot of there's

85
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.040
a lot of kiales from up here, that's for sure.

86
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.800
Because there's a lot of country, a lot of deer,

87
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.079
a lot of fresh water, a lot of fish, you know,

88
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.319
and I think it's probably a corridor for him, to

89
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.000
be honest with you.

90
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.759
Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, And I'm so glad someone like

91
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.160
you is up there where you're talking to people and

92
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.199
you're you're probably writing it down hopefully so that it's documented.

93
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.040
But uh yeah, that's that's great that you are talking

94
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.519
to people. And I noticed West Fulton is in the

95
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.879
middle of state forests, which.

96
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.439
Is very interesting, very interesting, that kind interesting. There are

97
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.040
several guys, two guys, one of them was a good

98
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.720
friend of mine who was on a hunt with his

99
00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.720
with a bunch of guys and they were doing a

100
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:05.879
dry and he he saw what he believes was a

101
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.279
female sasquatch. And there was a dry. This is you know,

102
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.319
white tailed deer hunting, and there's a drive. So there's

103
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.720
three or four guys positioned, you know, stationary, and then

104
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.040
there's the young guys kind of do a mile or

105
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.920
so walk to kind of flush out any sort of deer.

106
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.720
But they've flushed out a they flushed out one of

107
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.199
these things and it was a female he saw and

108
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.560
he wasn't the only one that saw it. There was

109
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.800
another guy there was just too out of about ten

110
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.839
saw it and he said to the guy, what was

111
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:43.680
that And the guy said, I don't know. And he said,

112
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:45.959
I think we should go back up there. And now

113
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.560
these guys are carrying you know, there are three eights

114
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.759
or shotguns with them, so they're not you know, walking

115
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.399
out there with with the you know, light armament. And

116
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.680
they the guy's like, no way, I'm never going back

117
00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:58.120
out there.

118
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.519
It is a sas watch story. There's two of them

119
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:07.279
I have, and it has to do with where I

120
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:13.040
grew up, where I had that Sasquatch in County. So

121
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:21.160
years later, my brother, my second eldest brother, he was

122
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.160
by that river area with some friends and this was

123
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.839
past midnight, I think that's what he had said.

124
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:32.399
And it was.

125
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.680
It was it was wintertime and it was no the moon.

126
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.120
You can see the moon. The moon was out. And

127
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.040
this was early two thousands. I would say, I don't

128
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.120
know what specific year, but it was in ship off

129
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.519
New Mexico. Uh, you know, down to someone river where

130
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.720
we had, like I said, where I was I grew

131
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:05.920
up with my siblings and anyhow, so my brothers, you know,

132
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:11.480
the next to the river with this his friends and

133
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.439
my sister and he and with some of her friends

134
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.800
and you know, they're they're kind of joking around and

135
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.360
it's pretty cold out there, he was telling me. And

136
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.319
down there's this river down, you know, down the cliff

137
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:35.240
where we called a fishing spot, and uh, it's a

138
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:40.960
place where we go and fish every summer. And yeah,

139
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.879
he said, heard this big splash in the river. And

140
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.440
he was just like what, you know, And then everybody

141
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.039
was kind of they're still talking, they're still you know,

142
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.039
they don't pay attention to but who was kind of

143
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.759
who was curious about it? Like, what what was that?

144
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:06.320
You know? And he said he he went to the

145
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.799
river and he had he looked down, you know, from

146
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.759
from the cliff and he looked down where our fishing

147
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.960
spot was and he said this. He said, he see

148
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:30.759
this big black, black silhouette, no giant creature, and it

149
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.000
wasn't so visible, but he he knew what it was.

150
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.440
I think, uh sasquatch, you know, it was black. And

151
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.240
he said he walked down, you know, he walked out

152
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:50.320
further and into the river and they got up to

153
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.559
his waist and he was just standing there and he

154
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.320
said he see the icebergs. You won't go buy that

155
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.279
sasquatch and it just just breaking apart. He's standing there,

156
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:10.840
he said, as he was watching, he did another one

157
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:17.759
jump in the second one, and the walk towards the

158
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.559
first one and it kind of stopped the way. And

159
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:27.039
then he said it was another one jumped into the

160
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.960
river kind of just you know, splashed right in there too.

161
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.120
I forgot how much. He said that sasquatch are there,

162
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.679
but it was quite a few of them, and he

163
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.519
he said he never seen anything like that before, so

164
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.679
you know, I've seen after him, he just took off

165
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.360
and went back to the house, and you know, he

166
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.679
never really talked about it, but he said that that's

167
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:07.440
what he had witnessed and it was just strange and

168
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:15.039
half that's one story that he told me, and I

169
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.960
have another story. It was by that same area, but

170
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.879
this was further down. This was like, I don't know,

171
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:31.399
another fifteen thirty miles down the river, and my I

172
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.039
had some relatives down further by the river and one

173
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:41.399
of my uncles. Yeah, there were my uncles and my

174
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.399
I guess they were one of my uncles, you know,

175
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.879
he said he was They were all sitting around playing cards,

176
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.799
and it was summertime, and all they had was a

177
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:05.080
curtain as a as a let's see, it was a window,

178
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.960
and so they had that opened and they were playing cards,

179
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:16.240
and one of my uncles was leaning back towards that window,

180
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.960
and they said they had seen this hand reach in,

181
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.679
and it was coming towards my uncle
