We've got some wild BIGFOOT ENCOUNTER LIVE call-ins for you today!

Frank calls in from Harlan County, Kentucky and shares about being messed with by Bigfoot while on remote security way out in the deep woods.

Joey calls in from Frederick County, Maryland about the EXTREMELY interesting things that have been happening around his property and how he saw what I believe an extremely small Bigfoot during his childhood.

Carla calls in to share what happened during her childhood in Buncombe County, North Carolina. What happened to her is WILD (to say the least). I'm surprised that her encounter did not go worse than it did but I'm glad, for her sake, that everything turned out ok.

Oh yeah, So we'll give him a minute, All right, Sherry, so we can hear you. So great, and you hit the guest release for him, right, Frank, Yes, sir, perfect, Well, thank you for calling in. I'm gonna let you go ahead and share what you would like to about what you've seen, and I might ask some questions at the end of that. Sorry, Oh yeah, yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah.

1:30 I mean, I grew up in south East Kentucky and Harlan, Harlan County, Kentucky. And you know the time period that I grew up in. I mean, I'm not old, you know, like it was. You know, it's just old timmy. I guess it's a little coal mine in town. So like, you know, we didn't have internet not growing up, and so you didn't really hear a whole lot of that big Foot and you know, we grew up in the mountains. But uh so it just wasn't a thing. Like in my mind, I was always under the impression that Bigfoot was like a just like a k man or whatever. So it just never crossed my mind. And then kind of, you know, I've had a few things. And when I moved to Florida, I joined the army. And when I moved to Florida, there's a guy that I worked with. He's from Ohio and he's like a huge Bigfoot believer and I never scoffed at him or whatever, but you know, I would tell him, you know, we just get talking after years of working together, and he'd be, uh, oh, you know, that's a bigfoot. You know. I just like, yeah, okay, cool, you know, and he'd say, no, I'm serious, that's a bigfoot. And I never never really felt much telling it. And then he started chilling me videos one day and telling me things about it, and I started, you know, like it started kind of clicking. I was like, you know,

3:02 maybe it was maybe it was a big trip. And h then, you know, as I started researching everything, that's the only thing I can think of, to be honest. Uh. The first the first thing that I happened, These all three, besides one when I was a kid, happened within a span of like two years, maybe back in uh, I guess the end of seven. I got back from Iraq in October of seven, and I know we spent a lot of time, me and my buddy spent a lot of time fishing and camping, and so it had to be between the end of seven and probably the first part of eight. And one night we went fishing down at the bottom it's like right at the base of Pine Mountain and we was out fishing. It was a really good spot where rivers would kind of connect. And it was probably about one two o'clock in the morning, and we started hearing splashes in the water, and you know, at first didn't think much of it. It was kind of getting irritating because you know, it's like discuss gar fish way and you know, we grew up in the mountains and we didn't really use tents or anything when we went

4:32 camping. We would just you know, sleep on the ground next to the fire, or sleep on the river bank or whatever, and that's just the way we've done it. And so we was just kind of sitting by the fire and when we started hearing splashes, the first thing that kind of crossed our mind after we was like getting irritated, was that maybe it was beavers like smacking their tail on the water. And then the rocks started, you know, like we started noticing it. They were getting closer to us, and that's you know, well, that's when I guess we realized they were rocks because it started hitting the bank and you could tell they wasn't really trying to hit us, but they were like getting close to us and kind of where we was at. They was an overpass and if a car passed by, you can kind of that At the angle we was at, you could kind of get a glare. And we seen where the rocks were coming from, and it was coming off the side of the mountain that was that, you know, the river was at the base of the mountain. So and we were like kind of in a center almost center island, kind of like a like a peak, and uh so we kind of seen where the rocks were coming from. And I mean, and the first thing that crossed my mind was like, dude, whoever thrower knows they're strong, you know, because some big rocks. And so we honestly, at that time, I

6:05 thought it was just people screwing with us. And we didn't have anything back like as far as rocks, because it was kind of like a sand sand sandy bank. So we had like full popcins that we would we started launching back at in the direction and I just started getting like a really uh a bad fear vibe, you know, like something's telling me to go and I want those types, but I've always trusted my gut. So when it's time to go, it's time to go. And you can call me a sec you can call me whatever you want. When my gut tells me to go, I'm going. And so I started to leave and they was like, ah, you know, come on, it's just somebody. I was like, well, you can stay or whatever, and I just took off.

6:56 I mean I started walking back to the truck and as I got back up, there was a cop coming by, and I slagged him and was like, hey, you know, I was like, you know, we've done our fishing. People's throwing rocks at us whatever He's I was like, you know, can you go this way and flash you know, the spotlight? And he did and he couldn't find it, and uh, you know, so not saying that it was or wasn't, but that was the first kind of the thing that got me thinking when I was telling these stories. And then maybe like two months later, I was working for a security spot It's how. It was a company type secure X, and basically they would take you and you would set out in the mountains and kind of watched to make make sure like copper thieves and whatnot didn't come and try to steal copper out of mines or mess with mining equipment and stuff like that, and you know, at first, I thought it's gonna be like what I'd see when i'd work at mines, like you know, people sitting in a trailer or something like that. But it wasn't. And you had to sign a paper saying that you couldn't that you wouldn't take a gun on site, or he wouldn't carry with you. And I thought that was fine until I got up there, and you know, I realized I'm sitting in you know, the middle of the mountains by myself in my vehicle, and I'm working from six,

8:26 you know, in the evening to six in the morning. And you know, I had a little three hundred dollars truck that nothing worked on it, like none of the gages or anything. And I remember it was in the middle of winter time and one of the nights that I was up there, it happened back to back nights. My truck, uh, you know, it's old, so it was like I turned it dog because I didn't want to waste gas, and uh I went to started and it was dead. So I was pretty much you know, stuck and the lights didn't work. I didn't have a gun or anything like that. So to be honest, like it was kind of spooky, and I started hearing footstebs and limbs breaking, and you know, I thought, you know, figures, and the lights on the truck wasn't really got bright, really didn't have a good flash flight, and to be honest, like I really didn't want to get out and check because you know, to be you know, whoever's going to be up there where I was at. You know, it was a good thirty forty minute drive through rough, rough road like back roads in the mountain like you're driving up the mountains, like I literally had to put cinder blocks in the bed of my truck to make sure I could grip, didn't enough to get up there. And so no one's going to be up there, and if they were up there, they're not walking and if they, you know,

10:01 so you would have heard a vehicle or something or a four wheel or if somebody was up there, and at that time of night, you would have seen lights, because nobody would have been up there just walking with that lights. And I started hearing footsteps and they was coming around the truck, and to be honest, I locked my doors and I shut my eyes and I pretended to be asleep, and I figured, you know, if something came close enough, I didn't want to see it anyway, And and I pretty much slaid there and kept my eyes shut, and I heard stuff getting around the truck that wasn't animal, you know, you could tell it was I guess what you call by peter. It sounded like a human walking, but I didn't really want to check, and I couldn't really wait until morning, and I kind of just this'es eventually dozed off and then I woke up to something beating on my truck and it was a guy, you know, he was doing his rams, and he gave me a jump and I left.

11:11 So the next day when I came up, it was a different spot but the same mountain, and this time I wasn't at Pine Mountain. I was. These two times. I was going up Highway thirty eight. It was a place called High Split Mines coal mines, but it was at the top of this mines. And the second night that I was up there, I was in a different spot and off in the distance they was what they called like an alder miner, which it drilled holes into the side of the mountain and pulled coal out. But you had, like you know, you had like a little white that was maybe if football field or so away, and I remember sitting there and it was all three times times. It happened around the same time, and it was about anywhere from one to three at night. And this time I started getting rocks thrown at me again, and at first I thought it was rocks maybe, you know the way you know, like if you was walking through gravels and you know, you might kick some rocks and you would hear them scooed across the ground. That's kind of like what I would hear at first. And after maybe two or three times, I turned my lights on and I seen the rocks coming from a certain distance and I knew from the impact that they would hit the ground with and bounce if they had to be thrown pretty hard to get there. And that's

12:46 when I realized that somebody's throwing rocks at me again. And you know, I first thought, well, if it was a thief, they're not going to be trying to get my attention, They're going to be trying to snaw pass me. And it continued, you know, I guess for probably fifteen twenty minutes. Rocks would continue and it wasn't like none stop, but it was like one or two here a few minutes would go by another one or two, and you could tell, like again they wasn't trying to hit me, but they would come with them ten feet at me, like on either my right or left side. And again fear came over me, and something told me I need to believe, and I thought, well, you know, to be honest, five bucks an hour ain't really enough. Sorry, they was boilers to strow buck. Five dollars an hour really ain't enough to sit here and risk anything, especially when you ain't allowed to carry. So I left, and I left, and I quit job, and it was like I ain't fool with it no more. And then maybe three four weeks later that somebody had set the mountains on fire. And there was a bootlegger that lived across the creek from where I did, in the holler of that

14:18 I grew up in. And he raised hogs and I'm talking huge, huge hawks, and every now and then they would get out, but not not like all the time, usually a squat. But I remember we had got home from a football game. We went watching the football game, and my uncle was standing outside and he started hearing something up on the mountain in front of the house, and he hollered at me because I walked inside, because we was actually out there just watching watching the uh the glow off in the distance of where the mountain was on fire and kind of like keeping an eye or where it was going. And uh so I was like, you know, i'ven't been out here long enough. It ain't coming our way yet, and I'm going inside. And he hollered at me, and he told me to come out there, and he asked me, he said, have you ever heard And it was a scream, And honestly, at that point, I'd never heard anything like it, and it was really really loud. Uh but when you heard it, it sounded like somebody was driving a truck or

15:52 whatever through the mountains. It was like the branches and stuff was breaking, and you know, it just sounded like something was just line through the mountains and it was at a fast pace and it was headed towards where the hogs would normally be. But I'd never heard that squaw or whatever. And you know, I'd heard the guy when he would know the hogs and stuff, and I knew what hogs sounded like, and I knew what deer and bear all that sounds like. But I'd never heard this, and he asked me, He's like, you know what that is? I said, I had no clue. I've never heard that. And it wasn't until I started getting into this and doing my own research, and you know, I've got really addicted and hooked into this now. And so you know, when I ain't doing something working or something like that, I'm constantly listening to YouTube and watching videos and just I really like hearing people's stories because I learned a lot from that and it's just interesting to me that there's so many people from a different spots around the world have the same stories. And you know, I lived down in South Florida now and I guess they kind of the skunt cape down here, and I don't really know much about it, but I've gotten really

17:26 into it. But after researching and stuff, a lot of this stuff, you know, little things would come back to me. And I remember as a kid walking out of my house one morning, well, and but at the base of the mountain, because like when you walked out of her backyard, you walked in the mountain and you walked straight up, and if you walked out of front of the house. It was a little bit of yard creep in a mountain. And uh, on the backside, if you walked out and walked down through the yard, there was a little spot like a trail that we used to go up because we got our water from the mountain and anytime our water would freeze, that's the trail that we would take to go find where it's frozen fix it. And at the base of that we found twelve well I found them, but it was you know, basically asked that. It was twelve deer legs that had what looked like being ripped out of a joint and just laid in the yard. And they were kind of not like really in a pall, but they were kind of all in a certain little area, and they didn't have bitte marks, they wasn't skinned, nothing wrong with them. It just looked like somebody had to literally rip them from the deer and threw them in the yard and left them. And I'd

18:57 never seen that, didn't know nothing about it. And we just took them. We thought it was just, you know, that's odd, and uh, I took them and through them, through them back up in the mountain and look it and but the more that I've looked into these stories and stuff, like I've heard people talk about how they you know, I've heard a few stories about the deer legs, you know, Uh, but I've never seen one. And I'm I'm trying to get in with the b A r O And do some expeditions and find people that I can go and I'm going to start looking for them regardless. And uh, just because you know, I was in the infantry, I was a sniper in the army, and and you know, I understand hiding and there was for the longest time, my theory was if there's a big set, you know, with all the technology and and all that that we have, we definitely would have found one by now. And you know when I when I would say that to that guy who's like, we've seen them. There's videos, there's this, there's that. Again. I had never got online looked up anything or whatever.

20:15 And when I got online and started looking this stuff up, I was like, it really convinced me. And I was, I don't know, I'm gonna stay open minded with it. I don't know, you know, I know people believe they're different things, but for me, I guess I'm just really interested in it. It's got me hooked right now. Part of me wants to see one, but from a safe distance, you know. But yeah, I mean that's that's all I've really experienced. But uh, looking back on it now and after all the stories and stuff that I've heard and watched, I just can't think of anything else that it would have been.

21:11 You know, Frank you You've had some really interesting stuff happen. Thank you for sharing that. Harlan County, Kentucky. I mean some of the wildest stuff happens in that area, and not just with Bigfoot. Also there's a lot of dog man stuff that happens there too. But you know, that's that's another thing that i'd heard. You know, like I said, we didn't. It was just something that never really you know, it started making sense now when I was when I look back on go on camping and stuff as a kid, because when we would go camping, like my friends and his parents, like, they would always line their fullers up in a circle, you know, and if any you would hear any type of limb breaking or anything like that, you know, they try to sneak over and get on the foilers and hit the lights at the same time. That way, it'd be like a three sixty perimeter type thing, you know. And I alway, now that I looked into it, I realized that where I grew up was a big hotspot. And the guy that's really into it, he's like, dude, you were right there, you know where it's at.

22:22 And I thought, again, you know, I was like, I guess, you know, but now it's like now that I moved away, and as I'm really into it, you know, I'm not there there to go looking around. And I'm sure, you know. I remember my We would always walk to catch the bus down at my grandma house and it wasn't a far walk, but you know, like I said, they would always talk about hearing screams, like a like a woman screaming or you know, like she's getting killed or whatever, and they say, you know, my mom and then would always say, oh, you bear, hurry up and uh get to your Grandma's or whatever. Because at the time I thought they were saying wooly booger. But now after watching stuff, I guess they called it the wood burger wood Burger bigger or something. And I always, you know, I just thought it was a joke or a and you know they would say, oh, it's a it's a mountain lion, or it's a bobcat or and it could have been. I don't know, but uh, you know, as a kid, you know, uh, I didn't really waste a lot of time getting there, you know, so I would run and uh. But you know, now looking back at it and looking at some of the stories, I think, uh, I was listening to a podcast where a guy was talking about one coming out of the weeds and breaking the

23:52 hogs back and smacking it, and I thought, well, you know, with all the hogs it's over there, it's possibility that you know, they kind of my idea is there's a lot of full wheeling and stuff going on down that way. A lot of people are in the mountains. But the thing is you're on trails, and you know, you've got a lot of gen singers and stuff like that that are out walking around, but you know, there's not really a lot that there's so much woods and stuff that people, I guess assume that they're not there because they you know, you're on these roads or you're on these back roads or mountain roads or fuller roads or whatever. But you know, there's still a lot of unexplored road. You know, like just because you're driving road and you're in the mountains, you're not really in the mountains, you know. And I know people that get out there and explore them. But you know, it's like I know when I was in the army, if we was out in the woods and a car came by, we retired to get down hide when the car passed by, you get up in that way. If anybody's looking at that window or driving by, they don't see nobody, and you know that's us. So it's like, you know, if these things live out there, they're way better hiding than we are. And so if they want, if they don't want to be seen, you know, I don't see why it's so hard for people to believe it. And you know, I was one of them,

25:23 you know, I was like but like I said, I didn't know a lot about them, you know. Uh, I was under been pressing. It was just a caveman. And but now that I remember, I called my mom maybe because you know my wife she makes fun of me in which is fine. I don't I don't care. Uh, none of that bothers me. But she's you know, she laughs and whatnot because she's like, are you in there making watching big? You know? So I called my mom and was telling her and showing her some stuff and I was like, yeah, you know the dees blah blah blah blah, and I said, you believe She's like yeah. I was like, and it kind of shocked me that she said it so uh, nonchalant, I guess, And so I don't know, I probably need to talk to her and see, you know, and started asking people and whatnot, because it's untelling the stories that people probably have that they don't come out with, you know, because of the whole skeptic and people thinking that they're crazy and stuff like that.

26:26 And but you know, it was like not even a hesitation when I asked her, and which is like I said, it kind of shocked me, but it you know, it kind of hurt my curiosity. I guess. Yeah, it sounds like you need to ask your mom to share some stories or ask why she believes that, right, Yeah, right, yeah, because i mean I'm sure with all the people that's around that area and you know, stories of you know, like where would you you know, I mean, I've heard the Woodburg Booger uh on the podcast. And but you know I heard that. I didn't hear big flip and uh So you know, I'm sure there's a lot of people down in that area that probably had stories. You know. One that I always wanted to ask was like the coal, the coal, the people who drive the trains, you know, like uh uh the people that these train drivers that go in these spots where people never really are and uh, I would like to ask, you know, I'd like to talk to people like that and and find out the stuff that they've seen, because you know, there are in some there are in some spots that probably a lot of people don't really get to see. And uh, I mean not that they would or not, but you know I

27:56 knew some kind of excited Yeah. Absolutely, And it sounds like you might have some some cool connections to that area or you know the type of people that to talk to that. You know, people outside of growing up in Harlan would have no idea to look for those people. So Frank, I'm glad you called in tonight. I mean, I love it. Sorry. You know, something breaking through the woods in the Loud Scream event that that is incredible I mean, without it, there's no doubt that that was probably a big foot up there or something similar like. That's wild man. I had never heard that until I started listening to the podcast and when I heard some of the sounds from the podcast of I'm not saying it was a whoop, but it was, oh my, like a howl. But I knew as soon as I heard it wasn't like the wolves that I heard, but I knew one of these. It was on one of the episodes. When I heard it, it clipped, and I knew that that was it because it was said as such. It was so high and it was such a rumbling going on, but the sound was so loud you just could there wasn't nothing to compare it to. And uh but at the rate that it was

29:32 going across the mountain, you know, at first you'd have thought, is that a bird flying? Because it's moving quick, you know. Uh, But it was so it was too much, too much breaking and too loud of my noise to be to be anything other than that. And uh but yeah, hopefully hopefully, you know, they say the Skunk Cape. You know, I've been going over and camping in Big Cyphrus and Uh, me and my son found some footprints out in a mud puddle there. But you know, it wasn't that they could have been human that they were. It was just the odd spot, you know, like uh, your way out through there on a foil or a turkey hunting and sure there's no prints going up through a trail and stuff like that, and it's just in one mud puddle on the face and the weeds, you know. And uh, but then I hear that the skunking pas four toes and but then you know, who knows? I don't. I don't know much about it. There's some weird stuff down in Florida, definitely. Uh, you know, keep me in mind if you if you come across anything when you're down there around And I appreciate you calling in and sharing all about Harlan County, Kentucky. That was really cool, Frank, I appreciate it. Brother. Sorry I took up so much of your time. You're good. You have a great night, sir. YouTube mhm. So if you don't, oh, here we

31:07 go every time, this this technology every time. I love it. All right, I'm gonna try I apologize. I'm gonna try to call back right real quick. Okay, it's going through my speakers. All right. Hello, Hi, this is Jeremiah. Hey Jeremiah, how's it going good? Who's this? This is Joey Joey on Instagram and Condros on YouTube. I switched. Yeah, thanks for calling in, Joey and you.

I need to put it on do not disturb real quick and then so we don't get disturbed during the call. But Joey, thank you for calling in. The floor is yours? Go ahead and share what you would like. Okay, listen. First of all, I want to say I'm a big fan of your podcast and I'm actually really kind of excited to be able to talk to you. And I've shared my story with one other person before, which I won't comment on that. But you know, I was one of those people that just never knew anything about this, didn't believe in anything. But when

32:39 I was a little kid, and this is like in the eighties, it was like mid eighties, I was probably about twelve years old. I used to walk in the woods a lot, and I live in Maryland and you know, Maryland's not supposed to be a huge thing for bigfoot, squatch anything like that. But I was going through the woods like I used to do all the time, you know, on the weekends and after school and stuff. I used to go to this creek and I used to wait to get a creek looking for turtles and snakes and stuff like that. And I really hearing this noise on the bark of the tree and I looked up about one hundred and fifty feet away and not like into the woodline, but just down for me. And you know, that's the difference, and that's why I could see it. I saw this little white monkey and it was coming down the tree head first when I saw it, and as a little kid, I just didn't know what to make of it. I just kind of looked at it, and I realized it was staring at me. And when it realized that, I, you know, we basically locked the eyes. We were just looking at each other. It went around the creek just like a squirrel wood And so I started walking through the creek and I get out and I walked through that tree and I circled the whole tree, and I couldn't see it anymore. I didn't find it, so I have no idea where

34:10 it went to. But basically what it was is like a little monkey that looked kind of like a baby chimp, you know how little baby chimps look. But it was white. It didn't have a tail. I remember that it didn't have a tail, and it was white, and it was maybe like two feet long from like the head to its little bottom. You know that they had their little legs and stuff, but like the little body was maybe like two feet long. And I didn't know what to make of it. Because I was a little kid. I had never heard of cryptis or anything like that. I had no idea what that was. All I know is I saw like this little white monkey in Maryland. We don't have monkeys here, absolutely, yeah, go ahead, sorry, no, no, you're fine, And you think about it is. As I got older and got older, finally I like heard about sasquatch and stuff like that, so I started reading books on it. And you know, as I was growing up, we didn't really have the Internet or anything like that, so all I could do was like grab a book here, grab a book there at the library where I could read stuff about it and I basically left it alone for all those years until I found the you know podcasts, and I started hearing stories about Bigfoot and Sasquatch and everything's like that. And then I started hearing stuff about you know what Ron mor Hit said about the Sierra Sounds,

35:42 and I'm like, not a minute, there's something going on here, you know, cause I'm pretty sure I saw a monkey where I know that there are no monkeys, and you know, in my ignorant mind, I'm thinking, well, it's just a monkey. But then the more I heard about it, the more stories, I realized, it's it's not just the monkey. I realized the way a minute, I saw something that was pretty crazy. So I start taking the the Sierra Sounds where I used to live, which was just at the bottom of the Appalachian Mountains in Maryland. I live in Frederick County, and I started blasting the Sierra Sounds out into the backwoods into the property. It was about four hundred meters back. We had a little creek basically that's connected to the Potomac River. And if you I mean, I don't care who looks it up or anything like that. It's I mean, I'm not lying about it so, but you can look it up, and you know, the Potomac River in Maryland connects all there's a trail that it's called the c and O Canal that connects all the way to Ohio.

36:52 And you know there's so many encounters in Ohio and stuff like that. There's basically a trail through all the cities. Whatever you want to call it, that's just wilderness. That's even how the coyotes and other animals have started to move down into our state through that using that trail. But I get up early, and I'll try to be as sass as I can with this. I don't mean to take up your time. I get up very early for work because the nature my job. And I have dogs, and I have German shepherds that are German blood, working German shepherds like they're the kind of the police departments take. And I keep those dogs because I use them for they're trained for protection. They're trying to protect the animals at the house.

37:52 They're trying to protect the people at the house. So they're not kind of the kind of dog that backs down from anything. We run into coyotes. They ran the pack of the coyotes out of the area. They run the bears out of the area because they don't play, and obviously I maintain a pack because that's where their strength is in numbers. And this one morning, this is like in twenty twenty twenty two, I want to say, because I had been I had started that in the fall, so it must have been in the spring of twenty twenty three. I'm going through the usual routeam with the dogs to put them out and everything, and they wouldn't go outside, like they just froze and they would not go outside. And then, like I said, about four hundred meters away in the down in the creek, I hear in exchange of what sounds to me like two chimps, like the way you know it. A chimp makes a very distinct sound, you know, like from nature documentaries and stuff like that when they go who you know, they get like that high pitch when they get excited. But it wasn't like just an animal going off. It was an interaction between two animals because I heard two distinct voices that there were no words. No,

39:25 it wasn't anything like that. It was an exchange between two animals that were I guess for the lack of a better term arguing between each other. But what got me was none of these dogs would go outside, like they were just frozen and refuse to go outside. And you know, I've seen these dogs take off after a full grown black bear. I've seen them take off into the middle of a kyote pack and they say, well, you know, the kyo's will drag him out till the full pack comes in, and blah blah blah. I've heard all those stories. I've seen it. I know what my dogs are capable of, and I've seen it done. These dogs wouldn't move off the back porch, so I left it at Dad talked to my brother about it and everything else. He is, I don't know, and who knows? And uh about a week later, I get uh woken up. It was just after midnight. I get woken up, and all I can hear is just something going damn bam, like somebody's taking a baseball back to a tree somewhere. Would And uh, Gary, I used I lived in. Everybody's got firearms. One of my neighbors used to constantly

40:59 shoot his we are out into the targets he had back behind his property. So it's not the kind of place where you're just going to start waking up the neighbors, you know, because the houses are far enough apart that we know if there's stuff going on. Especially like with with my house, everybody knew the dogs I had. If people were coming over, they would usually call and say, hey, we're coming over, you know, make sure you've got the dogs or whatever, because you're not just rolling up on this house. And if the dogs are outside, and so it wakes me up, and I'm a little bit out of it and everything else. And the thing that gets me is that my dog should be up, My dog should be alerting, My dog should be barking and growling, getting ready to charge outside. And all their little beds are around our bed inside the room with us, right, and these dogs are just laying there. Because I woke up and I looked at them, they're laying there. They're just flat, like if they could have dug themselves any further into the beds they would have.

42:15 Their ears are back, their heads are completely down, and none of these dogs are making a single sound, no growls, no nothing, no barking, just down in their beds. And these are this is not the type of dogs that I have like if one of the goats started crying or something or bellowing in the backyard, they'd be up. They would be the first ones up, barking and growling, getting ready to launch themselves outside. They're hearing this huge sound that woke us up. Nothing they're doing, ACTI be nothing. Now Here's this the strange part which some people may or may not believe. As soon as I picked up that phone to you know, start recording, to put it on video and start recording, it stopped.

43:19 And when I finally put the phone back down because I didn't hear it again, I heard it, but it was much further away. And you know, I'm not going to tell you that I that it's a sasquatch because you know, like I said, I'm just trying to be brief with this, but there's a lot more details I go into it, Joey, But you're not the first person to say that whole uh you pick up the recorder and it stopped, Like dude, I've gotten that more than one time. It's wild. But sorry, go ahead, now what I was trying to tell you, Like I said, I'm just trying to bre brief because I don't want to take up your time. But that the one thing I'll tell you, honestly is that at one point when I realized that my dogs were not reacting to that, all my hair just stood up. And I cannot explain to you why that happened. It just it was like a very what do you called it, Like a very ah primal, like a very primal fear.

44:30 Like my all my hair just stood up. And I couldn't explain why because I had not seen anything. I didn't know what was actually out there, but it just did and that just felt so weird. And the fact that my dogs didn't react, I cannot logically explain that because, like I said, my dogs have. The biggest thing we have in Maryland is a blackbird. They're not even that big here, you know. And I've seen my dogs going after the black bears. And now don't before anybody gets all upset about it. And I'm not saying don't let them go attack a black bear or something like that, just you know, driving them off the property.

45:15 So the goats are safe, but they're not afraid of animals, natural animals in the woods, you know. They run the coyotes off, the bears. Now know that now that the animals are full grown, that they need to give the pharm a wide birth. You know, what the heck was in the woods that night that both there's knights that scared them like that? And what did I see when I was a kid? I mean again, I'm not going to tell you that it was a sasquatch, but I can tell you I saw I definitely saw a monkey in the tree that looked like a little baby shimp, and I heard what sounded to me like shimps in the creek behind our property. When I heard what sounded to me like wood knots, which is often, you know, said to be a sasquatch.

46:22 I cannot tell you that that's what it was because I never saw it. I can only tell you what I experienced during that in count or during that incident, I guess you say. And I can only tell you how my dogs reacted to it, which to me is very It's what normally happens when one of these creatures is around, because the dogs were having no part of it, and that's not the dogs I have, Joey. It's definitely a really interesting thing you're going through, and an individual in the chat Phyllis pointed out, it's almost like, you know, it makes you wonder, what if the dogs seen that, they know that there's something out there.

47:17 I think he might be on to something there, Joe, where you saw the white monkey when you were a kid, How far away from is that in the same area or that's actually I live about fifty sixty miles from where I grew up. I mean I left, and you know, I've lived in other states and all that, but I came back and now I live only I live at the foot of the Appalation Mountains, but I'm only about fifty sixty miles from where I grew up. It's very interesting where I grew up. Where I grew up back then was a lot obviously there was a lot more wilderness areas and stuff before it was all built up. So it was definitely a different area back in the eighties than what it is now.

48:08 I would say, definitely keep me in the loop. I think stuff is probably going to keep happening for you unless you put up like game cams or something around your property. They usually tend to go away because of the ir But yeah, let me know. You know, you can send me an email Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com if you have any updates in the future. But thank you for calling in and sharing what's going on on your property. Yes, certain, Like I said, I just wanted to get that out there to you. I meaning to talk to you for a while, and I don't mean to take up your time, so I just wanted to share that with you. I'll email you and I'll let you in them more of the details of what actually happened. But that's basically a brief summar you what it was. But I definitely a little chink in a tree when I was a little kid. I just didn't know what it was at that time.

49:06 That's wild. Also, see if you can, if you if you're in good relations with any neighbors, talk to your neighbors. See if they're having weird stuff going on too. I'd be curious to know if it's just your place or if it's the people around you too. The neighbors is a hard thing to breach, gotcha, Okay, all right, I'll cross We'll leave it there. I mean, it's hard to go up to somebody to say, hey, do you think you got big foot in your backyard too? Or I don't know, but I'll work on it. Maybe bake them some cookies too. Nothing else going on weird around your area, just just the big foot stuff. Any other weird things going on? Well, uh, weird lights. I don't know if if you get into that also, I honestly don't know if you talk. Yeah, so can you kind of describe what you mean by weird lights? I guess what everybody would call like these orbs of lights that just seemed to go through the backwoods. And it's not a flashlight, because you know, we've already gone through that whole thing,

50:39 and it's kind of the same thing. It's the dogs don't necessarily react the same way that we heard those sounds or when we felt the pressings and something else. It's not exactly like that, but you can tell that the dogs get tense. And I always these, you know, I've always been out in the woods. I grew up in the in the woods. So I just I read my dog's body language, and I can tell when there's an animal around, when there's something that they need to take care of, when there's a predator, when when there's prey, and dogs just have a certain body language absolute when when we heard those sounds. You could just tell they were scared, like they want to know part of it. When I see these lights, they just tense up. And as a matter of fact, my my sister and my brother in law are here. They're from Michigan, and my brother in law has this huge property up in Michigan in the Upper Peninsula where he does a lot of hunting. I've been out there fishing and hunting with him before, and he's got these game camps up and he actually has taken picture of these orbs that I don't really have any game camps because you know, it's just the backyard to me. But he's actually taking pictures of these caught them on the game camps of these warps. And I

52:15 don't understand how a light triggers emotion sensor, but I've seen I've seen these lights back in the woods over the creaking into that area. Well I've seen white and i've seen blue, gotcha. But uh, I don't know what to make of it. And you know, I have weapons, like I could go down there and see if it's a human being or something walking around in the creek with a flashlight or something. But the way it moves clearly it's not. And sometimes you see them up like in the higher canopy of the trees, and then they just kind of go off and do their own thing. But I just I see them, but I try not to pay too much attention then, because truthfully, I guess I feel like if I pay attention to it, then it's going to pay attention to me, and I don't really want that absolutely. But I've seen a lot of it was orps going through trees, and at times I've seen lights flying overhead and not like like the orbs. They are different than the orbs, and it's like a shoot, you're really gonna think I'm crazy, now go ahead. I've seen like these silver this is like in broad daylight. I've seen like a

53:49 silver thing shaped like an egg hovering over the house one time, okay, and as soon as I pulled out my phone to try to record it, it just shot up straight up and it was gone. And as a matter of fact, just last last weekend, as I was outside grilling, this is, like I said, this is in the middle of the afternoon where you know the sun's out, you can see everything clearly. I saw a round one around sober ball just hovering, and where I looked up at it, it started to fly away. So again I pull out my phone to start recording it. As soon as I do that, it just is gone.

54:35 So I'm not not I'm not crazy. You are, and you're calling into the right place where we don't call people crazy because you're free to just share your story and we're trying to all figure it out together. Man. So I guess this would be other other strange things that I have seen in the sky. Like I said, I I cannot tell you one hundred percent that I've seen a sasquatch. I know you. I've seen a little white michin a tree. I can tell you for a fact that I've heard chinks in the creek behind that lead down to the c and O Canal. I've heard what quote unquote sounds like wooden knocking, and I see white and blue orbs going through the trees in the backward the creek runs a lot of times.

55:46 And I have seen these other things. So I don't know what all that means. But I don't know. I just digive You're the guy to reach out to and talk to about this kind of stuff, because nobody else is going to believe me. My sister laughs at me. She's my my brother in law. He's a hunter too, and uh yeah he when they're they're in Michigan now, but when he was still here in Maryland, they had some property up near pa. He was actually run out of his uh deer stand like something that was growling at him, and uh, he and I are kind of the same page, but he just won't talk to me about it. But he said he actually got down out of deer stand, walked out into the cornfield that he was overseeing where the year was supposed to be done with through because he was scared to go back into the woods.

56:45 And he was in mind you this is we're both ex military. This this guy worked with special forces and everything else. So it's not like he's, you know, some sort of soft week guy. He's not. She was scared enough that he just went out to the middle of the field, called my sister and said, come pick me up at this other road. Wow. Because he was afraid because the way where he had parked, he had to go back into the woods to get to his truck. And he's like, I'm not going back into those woods. He had him up and drive him all the way around back to his truck because he was that scared. And this is not the kind of man that gets scared. I mean, the guy's like well over six feet. He's a big, huge guy.

57:30 You know he would. But he told me that, he said something was growling back there at me, and like I said, the biggest things we have here is black bears. Everybody knows what a black bear looks like. And in Maryland they don't get that big. You know, it's not like we're in Montana where we're going to get a grizzly bearer. Ye black bear, you can make enough noise and run him off. You know. We're not even in Canada, where the black bears get a lot bigger, where they might actually pose a threat. Noe. Where we're at, the black bears are about two hundred and three hundred pounds. You know, if you've got an arrow or a rifle, that's the last thing it wants to run into. But yeah, he was running out of his deerstand by something that he said, like when it was grounding, he said, I could feel the vibration going through me, and I wanted nothing to do with that.

58:29 Joey, I doubt he would go for this, but I mean, if feel free to pass on my info if he wants, if he ever needs to talk to anyone who's not going to judge, who's not going to make fun of him, I would love to talk to that individual. You can pass on my info and it can be like not even for a podcast. I'll just talk to him on the side, you know, and help him work through stuff. But yeah, I mean, Joe, I feel like we might be chatting again sometime in the future because stuff is going to keep going for you. But you know, as as can Squatch said in the chat chat, I would recommend you really get to know your your neighbors because in this situation, it'd probably be good to have someone you could call just in case, if you know what I mean. So it's always good to know your neighbors. So, uh, we do know them. I'm just like, I really want to bring it. I believe that I believe in Bigfoot in Sasquatch, because like I said, I mean, I can't even imagine what my neighbors were thinking when I started call blasting. That's true.

59:40 Yeah, yeah, well make him so cookies, you know. But Joey, it's been fun chatting with you. I hope we chat again in the future. You can always hit me up at email big Fast sit at gmail dot com. I do uh, I do want to head on. I've got a few calls to make back. But it's been fun chatting with you, and best of luck. Thanks man, you got a great podcast. Man, thank you having a good enjoy all right, that was that was good. I'm going to play the intro real quick while I get set up for the next one here. All right, we're back. Okay, So that was an awesome call with Joey Outam Maryland. He's got some wild stuff going on. I think that I will actually be talking to him in the future. But I've got a few calls to make here, so we are going to call back see if this person is still awake and what they've got to share. Hello, Hi, this is Jeremiah. Uh we just spoke your I did that again. I'm sorry, Joey. I always do this, guys, I always do that. Well, I've done it two times.

1:01:08 All right, Okay, here we go. This is a new one. Hello. Hi, this is Jeremiah. Hi. Hi, who is this? This is Carla Carla, thank you for calling in. Did you get a chance to fill out the guest release for him? Yes? I did, perfect. All right, well, I appreciate you calling in.

1:01:51 I would imagine you've got something to share, so I'm going to go ahead and hand it right over to you. Okay. I just wanted to start with saying that I've always been interested in, you know, fringe things like ghosts, UFOs, things like that, and when I was younger, I was interested in Bigfoot. But as I got older, I kind of I kind of realized that that was the least likely of all these things to actually exist, you know, a giant, a giant ape in the woods in the United States, and we have all this technology, and so my interest kind of waned from the whole Bigfoot thing. And then it was about twenty fourteen. I was watching YouTube and I just had a video pop up, a suggestion for a bigfoot video, and so I thought, all right, well, I've watched just about every kind of ghost thing that was out there, so let me just let me just watch this. So I did, and just immediately I started having these flashbacks and I mean of something that it was like, I guess I had forgotten about, but at the same time, it seemed like I had always known. And so what it was was when I was about seven years old. I'm gonna say it was about seven years old, because it was right before I moved to Florida. This is in bunkhom County, North Carolina, in the Smoking Mountains. Me and my

1:03:23 cousin used to go and, you know, play in the woods. This isn't right in the middle of it's basically like a valley or in the middle of a bunch of mountains and my grandmother's house and so my cousin and I would go everywhere, you know. She would set us out in the morning and be like, don't come back till, you know, the evening, till it's dinner time. And there was one part of the woods though, that we weren't allowed to go, and it was my grandmother's neighbor. He was a grassy old man and he didn't want to sign his property, or that's what we thought. So one day we knew he was going to be gone, and so we're like, okay, this is our chance. So my cousin and I he was he was about eight, my cousin, and so we got on his little dirt bike, his little mini bike, and we went back behind behind that neighbor's house, and so we found this little clearing. I want to say it was probably maybe like a quarter mile back, maybe not even that much, but we came upon this clearing and we got off the bike and we were just you know, standing there, walking around, looking around, and all of a sudden, I remember both of us just got freaked out and we were both kind of like, do you want to go? Yeah, let's go. And then that's when it was the most I swear I thought it was going to turn around and see an African lion. It was the loudest, most permeating sound that you could ever

1:04:54 imagine. It sounded like an African lion war mixed with an mixed with I don't even know what. But so we turned around and there it was. It was not a bear. It was on two feet. It was looking back like I remember at the time thinking that it was twice the size of me, so I mean, it had to be probably eight feet tall, but it was just standing there. It had both of its arms down to its side and its mouth open, just roaring. And I don't really remember getting on the bike. The next thing that I remember is I had, you know, I was on the back of the bike, and so I had a hold of my cousin's shirt with both fists, and I had my head looking down because I was scared to death and I didn't want to see anything. And you could actually feel like footsteps coming through the wheels of the bike as this thing ran after us. But I, you know, I assume if I had wanted to catch us, it would have, but you know, I never thought obviously, I never turned around and looked because I was terrified. And then that's about That's about the end of the memory.

1:06:14 And so when I remember this, I immediately, like I said, I was that was just before I had moved to Florida, and so my cousin and I ended up losing touch over the years, and so immediately I got on Facebook and you know, found him and contacted him and I was like, did this really happen? And he just sent me like capital letters once in his back. He's like, I can't believe you forgot the day we saw Bigfoot. So, like I said, that was in twenty fourteen, and ever since then, I've just been completely obsessed with the subject. And even though I know that it was something that really happened, because like I said, he was there and corroborates every you know, aspect of it, I still kind of just I guess I'm just trying to see another one so that I know I'm not crazy. But so, yeah, that's that.

1:07:09 I've had a few things happen since then, but that's that's the big thing. That that is wild goodness. So you mentioned the county, can you is there a specific part of the county that you can kind of share. Yeah, this was in Candler, North Carolina c A N D L E. R. And I also let me just tell you this. We used to hear before this happened. We used to hear something screaming, and like I said, because she was down in a valley, it sounded like it was coming from all around. But we would hear things screaming in the summertime, like summertime going into autumn, and she would my grandmother say that it was panthers. But now as an adult looking back, I know what a panther sounds like, and that's not what it was. It was. It was kind of like the Ohio Hut. And also she was very adamant about having the windows the curtains closed before nighttime, and we would say why, you know, like what we would question about it, and she would say, we have to get the windows closed before the summerman comes or he'll peek in at you. And we were like, well, what's the summer man and she would just say, Oh, he's somebody that walks around and looks to see if make sure little kids are in bed. So of course we thought, you know, she was just trying to get us in bed or whatever. Well, a few years back, I was I was watching something

1:08:43 on Bigfoot and come to find out that is what some of the tribes call Bigfoot the summerman, because that's when he comes around. And so just between that, oh, and she used to also talk about the catamounts, and we would say, well, what's a catamount? And we thought, you know, it some kind of cat because catamount and we would ask her, you know, is it a cat is it is it a mountain lion? Is it a panther? And she would say no, but she wouldn't tell us what it was. And now I've come to find out that that's also something. A catamount is also something that you call bigfoot. You can also a lot of people also call a mountain's catamount, but it's interchangeable with mountain lions also bigfoot. But so looking back, I think that she knew.

1:09:30 And my father, who was raised in that same house, he says he remembers being about two years old and being in a crib and he would look up at the window at night and see a monkey, a monkey man looking down at him, and on more than one occasion. So yeah, looking back, I think she knew, and I think that activity was always it was always happening around there. They did, you know, let us, Like I said, they would let us go and play with no boundaries really and no restrictions. But my granam my grandfather would always say, if you're out playing and the woods go quiet, run get out of there, and he used to always droll that into us. So yeah, I think they both they both had some experience with it. And my grand my grandmother grew up in northern Georgia, so I think I think she knew what these things were, and I think she knew they were around. They're in Bunkham County and North Carolina, So yeah, that's about it. Oh, my goodness, is that still in the family that property? Yes? Really, yeah.

1:10:43 Matter of fact, the cousin that was with me that day, he owns that house. He owns her house now because she's obviously passed. But I got to talk to that cousin, you know, you know, you've got to pass on the info to the cousins. I definitely will use I guarantee it. Oh yeah, I haven't talked to him a couple of years. But but yeah, he's just he's just a message away on Facebook, so oh please. But yeah, it's it's really weird because, like I said, it's like, now that I remembered it, it feels like that memory was always there. And and the weird thing was, like I said, I Bigfoot was the last thing that I thought was real, even though I had already had this this incident and didn't remember it. So yeah, very strange. I got. We got a few questions, if that's all right, that's fine, all right. So yeah, here here's some interesting ones. So squatch and holler uh says, was there water near the woods you weren't supposed to go into? There were Like now now that I go and look at it on Google Maps, there is water. I didn't know it at the time, but we we were told never to go into the cornfields up up at the top of the hill. And I feel like I remember having having been chased out of the cornfield a couple of times, but in my memory it was by a man. So I don't know, I might want to I might want to ask my cousin about that, So,

1:12:14 yeah, I would. I would think that that could be interesting too. Yeah, you know, going back into your what you remembered, Uh, can squatch has a good question? Did anything stand out about the mouth or the face from what you saw the the mouth, well, I mean the mouth was open, because it was it was basically screaming, But that the face is hard for me to recollect. I do remember that it was more man looking than because at no point did I think that we had seen a giant monkey like that never crossed my mind. So I want to say that it looked more human like and it was just confusing, you know, But it's mouth, it was open, it was screaming, and I guess maybe it just wanted to run us out of there. And like, looking back, I remember I wonder if that's why we weren't allowed to go back there.

1:13:10 And actually, now that I think about it, yeah, there was a pond with with I don't know what kind of fissure was, but he had his own little pond where he used to go fishing in the older gentleman at my grandmother's house. So yeah, And that was all right around in that area. So yeah, and then there was seems like there was something else I was going to tell you, oh, in that area. Also, when I was younger, I remember my grandmother telling me about how a little girl had disappeared. Her mother was out I guess she was putting clothes on the line or something. And I think this probably would have been I was little, so I was born in seventy seven, so this was in the late seventies early eighties probably unless it had happened earlier. But my grandmother would tell me about this little girl who had disappeared up down the holler somewhere, and her mother had been out hanging clothes on the line and turned around and she was just gone, and I mean within ten seconds. And there's you know, from the way my grandmother described it, there's no way that a person could have grabbed that baby and taken off and they never found her.

1:14:19 So oh boy. Also another question about when you had that that visual and that experience. Do you remember how that that scream made you feel in that situation? I mean, it almost was so loud that it I feel like I almost went into shock, because, like I said, I don't remember anything from the time we saw it until the time we were down the trail, you know, riding away as fast as we could. But I could feel it. It was, you know, it just like I said, permeated every inch of your body. My insides were jiggling. And but yeah, sheer tear, sheer tair is happened. My goodness, that's so intense. Uh Wesley. That was from Squatch and Holler, guys, make sure you follow his channel. He's got some incredible interviews as well. Uh Wesley. From the chat. Did you hear three pop or knock noise?

1:15:30 Uh? At all during the situation. Not during the situation, but we did hear what I now know our wood knocks back then, and you know, like I said, at the the actual encounter, there could have been I have no idea because we weren't paying attention. We were just little kids, you know, rooting around we had, we had a stick we were we were making seemed like I remember we were making designs in the dirt with a stick or something like that, and we just we just both got creeped out at the same time. And then and that's when it happened. And it's weird because as much as it sounds just like a lion roaring, there was also like an elephant trumpet kind of thing going on, because I was at the zoo a couple of years ago and the elephant was right next and it just brought back memories. So it was it was kind of a mixture of noises, but it was to this day the loudest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I mean, I can't even describe you the volume.

1:16:36 You said it sounded like an elephant trumpet noise as well. Yeah, like a like a lion roaring, but mixed with an elephant trumpeting. It was. I just, yeah, that's the best I can describe it. Guys in the chat, let me know, have you ever heard a description I've heard description of like lion roar but the elephant trumpet at the same time. That's totally new for me. That's really interesting. Yeah, I just remember when when I heard it at the zoo that it immediately made me, made me go back to that. So but yeah, there's a lot of it, like when we when we ran that's blocked out and the next thing that I remember is just having my my cousin's shirt in both my hands, squeezing his shirt and looking down and just waiting for something to pull me off the back of that bike. You know, I'm not I'm not surprised at all that your your brain made you forget this, you know, just yes, a few people in the chat said, uh, you know it was it was to protect you so that you could you could live and not have to deal it. But it came back to you, did anything else weird happen when you were in that area that you know, you may not attribute to Bigfoot, but you can remember, Oh there's other weird stuff that happened as well. Orbs. We would see orbs, and I remember that because my grandmother would say that it was the ghost of pioneer women who had been

1:18:06 slaughtered and you know, just trying to scare us. But yeah, we would see orbs in the light, I mean in the woods and it would look almost just like somebody walking with the lantern where there wouldn't have been anybody. So but other than that, in that particular area, I don't remember anything. But I did have one more experience in North Carolina and this was this is just real quick. This was in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, or uh more like North Cove. There's a a big factory that I used to work at. Anybody that knows the area would know what I'm talking about.

1:18:46 But we had gotten off one night and this finding Bigfoot actually did an episode in Spruce Pine, where I'm at right now and where this took place. So it has a hit stream, a big fit activity. But anyway, I was leaving work, this would have been maybe three years ago now, got off work one night and there's a big stretch late at night. It's it's a pretty lonesome road. And so I was driving down the road and the a coworker was in a car near me, and at first I thought, what was a bear was about to cross This is kind of wo but this is what I saw. It was what I thought was a bear was running across the road in front of me, because it kind of reminded me of beare legs, except that I couldn't see anything above the legs.

1:19:46 It was like there was half of something and then the top half just wasn't there. And then the more that it came into the road, the legs were way too far apart to be a maybe if it was a giant polar bear, but not the black bears we have around here. There was probably six feet between the front legs and the back legs. And yeah, I slammed on my brakes. The car next to me slammed on their brakes, and he ended up rolling down his window and was like, what the f was? And you know, I don't know what that was, but it wasn't a bear, and it wasn't you know, the only thing I can think of is maybe it was maybe it was a sasquatch on all fours.

1:20:31 But then every time he would see me and work after that, he would be like, hey, sasquatch sister. But yeah, so that was another thing. That's about an hour from where my childhood encounter happened. But yeah, so that's that's another thing that's that I've seen. Carla, no idea about that holy mackerel. Uh, Probably one of it's in my top coolest people encounters have talked. I mean, Carl, your story is awesome and definitely if you can pass on my info to the cousin and be like, hey, just in case you're having weird stuff going on, there's a guy that would talk to you and not make fun of you. And yeah, I definitely will wow, And I'll call back another time because I do have I do have another one that's even crazier than those two, but yeah, it's more on the WU side. Yeah, hey, I love it.
