Season 1

A Halloween night ghost hunt inside Morgan-Monroe State Forest turned into one of the strangest Bigfoot encounters ever shared on Bigfoot Society.


Jake describes seeing glowing yellow eyes staring at him from the tree line near a Revolutionary War cemetery outside Martinsville. Moments later, he realized he was looking at a towering black-haired creature standing nearly nine feet tall.


Then things got even stranger.


Jake says the creature appeared to walk directly into a tree… disappear completely… and later emerge from that same tree while silently watching him from only feet away.


For several minutes, the witness and the creature stood frozen in complete silence surrounded by a dead-still forest with no insects, no crickets, and no sound except their breathing.


If you enjoy eyewitness encounters that feel cinematic, unsettling, and deeply personal, this is an episode you need to hear all the way through.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.439
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've

11
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.320
got the privilege of talking to Jake today. Jake is

12
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.759
a individual I got connected to that had an interesting

13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.479
experience over there in the state of Indiana. So welcome

14
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:46.479
to the show. Jake. How are you doing today, sir?

15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:47.439
Good? Good.

16
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.600
Thanks for having me, absolutely and I appreciate you being here.

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.840
Is a privilege to have you here. So the area

18
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.320
that you're going to be talking about is an area

19
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.400
that's come up on the show a few times out

20
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.959
there in Indiana, and you know, I think that I

21
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.560
will let you go ahead and paint the picture of

22
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.319
you know, what was going on back there, why you

23
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.159
were in the forest to begin with, what was going

24
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.560
on and maybe what you experienced.

25
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.239
All right, Yeah, sounds good. Yeah. So I was in

26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.959
the morganman Roe State Forest out in Indiana, towards the

27
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.319
Martinsville area. On the edge of the forest, there's like

28
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.680
this old eighteen hundreds school that's called the Cross School.

29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.760
And if you take the road that's by the Cross School,

30
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.879
it winds around to this farm and on one side

31
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.799
of the road is a little patch of corn and

32
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.200
behind that is an old Revolutionary War cemetery. So me

33
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.400
and my buddy is one Halloween, thought it would be

34
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.920
a good ideal to hey, let's go see some ghosts.

35
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.319
So we went out there. I'd say we probably got

36
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.639
there about nine ten o'clock at night. I had the

37
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.400
flashlight and my two other buddies were walking behind me,

38
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.599
Because you know, I grew up around the paranormal, so

39
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.599
it's not too frightening for me. I can't get spooked

40
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.280
from time to time, but that comes with the territory.

41
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.919
So in the middle of the cemetery is a giant tree,

42
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.159
and I got to the giant tree, I got away

43
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.439
from my friends and stuff like that, They're like fifty

44
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.680
feet away from me. And I took the flashlight at

45
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.360
the tree and scoured the tree line, just combed across it.

46
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.000
And when I did that, I caught these giant yellow

47
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.360
eyes staring at me. And now the thing about this

48
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.159
is they weren't low to the ground. From the distance

49
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.400
from where I was at, they looked about seven feet

50
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.759
in the air, and so I was kind of like, oh,

51
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.840
I took my flashlight, went straight back to the yellow eyes,

52
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.319
and you could see the outline of a giant figure

53
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.520
again about seven feet tall. I was phixiated on it.

54
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.879
And it happened for about fifteen seconds, and then I

55
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.240
watched it do a one eighty no, not a one

56
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.639
eighty I'm sorry, a ninety degree turn and it walked

57
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.240
right into a tree and disappeared. And then that's when

58
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.280
I was like, Okay, what is this curiosity is about

59
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.639
to kill the cat? I need to check this out.

60
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.879
So I started getting a little bit closer. I'd say

61
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.240
probably walked about fifteen twenty feet. I was about thirty

62
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.199
thirty five feet from the tree lined and that's when

63
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.800
I watched it step right back out of the tree

64
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.039
and then face me and then that's when I could

65
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.520
see the whole body and it was about nine feet tall,

66
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.719
Its arms were past its knees. It definitely had black fur.

67
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.080
Couldn't see the face too much because you know, it

68
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.039
was dark and it had black fur. But it was

69
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.279
definitely not a ghost. It was definitely nothing paranormal. And

70
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.800
I was like, oh wow, I'm looking at a bigfoot.

71
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.759
I'm literally having a staring contest with a bigfoot. So

72
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:32.120
during this interaction, and it lasted for about two to

73
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.920
three minutes, I had no sense of fear. If anything,

74
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.560
I got a feeling of curiosity, as I felt it

75
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.600
was curious in me, as I was curious in it.

76
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:56.360
And it just happened for quite some time. I was

77
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:01.800
kind of stunned. And then my friends, like they came in,

78
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.360
they came closer to me, trying to figure out what

79
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.639
I was doing, and they got in my bubble. And

80
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.560
as soon as like I had like when I say bubble,

81
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.199
I mean as in like as me and bigfoot were

82
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.920
staring at each other, there was like a bubble around us.

83
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.680
And when they came into the bubble, they freaked out.

84
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.319
It's like they brought fear into the bubble. And then

85
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.120
when that happened is when it completely disappeared out of

86
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.920
thin air and they took off running, which caused me

87
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.720
to take off running, and you could hear giant footsteps

88
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.439
and leaves running behind us, and we took off straight

89
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:50.079
to the car. That's pretty much how how that interaction

90
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:50.720
went down.

91
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.639
Oh my goodness, Okay, yeah, that what year was that, Jake?

92
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.000
Oh, I want to say two thousand and eight?

93
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:06.399
It okay around there? That is really really intense. Is

94
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.680
I got a few questions for you. How far apart

95
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.480
would you estimate the eyes were from each other?

96
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.480
Maybe three inches? Okay, four inches something like that.

97
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.920
So it's it's dark like you're out there in the dark,

98
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.839
but you are able to see this creature really well.

99
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.279
And is that that's because of the flashlight?

100
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.560
Yes? Because of the flashlight? Yes?

101
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:46.439
Okay. Now when you have did the flash light or

102
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.480
you having the light on it, did it seem to

103
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.480
affect how the creature looked in any way, like maybe

104
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.079
made the eyes look a certain way or anything like that.

105
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.920
No, just the only effect it really had was it

106
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.920
just glowing yellow. That was it kind of like you

107
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.759
know how like when you're out and you have a

108
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.360
flashlight and you see like a dog or you know,

109
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.639
another kind of animal, how those eyes reflect. But these

110
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:19.120
were just like beaming straight yellow eyes reflection off the light.

111
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.079
Okay, Now when you had let's say, you had the

112
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.360
flashlight away from it, though they weren't creating a yellow

113
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.279
glow by themselves, It was just you had the flashlight

114
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:32.639
on it.

115
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.519
Yes, yes, yeah, Because if I didn't have the flashlight

116
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.680
on this, I would never even would have noticed it.

117
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:42.199
Why why would you say that.

118
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:49.439
Oh, because I didn't see the yellow eyes until the

119
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.360
light reflected on it, because it was just all straight,

120
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:57.319
dark like. Because if the the eyes were like beaming

121
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.480
like that without the light, I would have seen it

122
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.839
at the tree. I wouldn't even need to scour the

123
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.959
tree line to see it, if that makes sense.

124
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.399
Was it doing anything in the moments when you're looking

125
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.680
at it and you had the flashlight on it.

126
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.720
No. Nothing. It was just standing right there staring straight

127
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.079
at me.

128
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.879
And that can be as little. So let's let's pretend

129
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.040
you know you're in an area, you're standing for a

130
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:34.759
long time. Sometimes humans will do certain movements, little movements

131
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.120
or little motions. Was it doing anything like that?

132
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.320
No? No, nothing, it was the only thing it did

133
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.919
was do that ninety degree turn and walk right into

134
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.039
the tree, and you know, and then that sparked my

135
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.039
speculation as in, maybe Bigfoot is actually interdimensional and its

136
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.879
consciousness is so primitive and not the pollution of today's

137
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.960
society and everything like that, that it can unlock doorways.

138
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.519
That's why he's the Hide and Seek champion.

139
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.799
One hundred percent definitely the Hide and Seek champion. And

140
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.320
we are we are totally getting to that in a minute.

141
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.559
So let's see. I want to make sure I'm viewing

142
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.639
this right way, So ninety degree turn would be like

143
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.279
if I'm ahead, and then I turn like to this, yes,

144
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:33.720
and then okay, side, yeah, exactly know what kind of

145
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.360
tree was it?

146
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.200
Oh? Man, I have no idea. I can't remember.

147
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:44.240
That was the tree bigger and taller than the creature

148
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.320
or smaller and skinnier than that creature?

149
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.879
I would say it was bigger and definitely taller.

150
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:57.440
Okay, gotcha. Now you're saying it walked into the tree,

151
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:03.759
And that's that's extremely interesting because I myself have experience

152
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.679
probably different. But I was an Oregon driving down a

153
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.000
road and I saw a silhouette of a creature in

154
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.879
a vine covered pine tree and then it disappeared into

155
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.399
the tree. But you're saying, you actually saw this creature

156
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.559
walking forward and then is it kind of like have

157
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.000
you ever seen the movie Harry Potter?

158
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.519
Yes, how it goes through the platform.

159
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:37.399
Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, all right, man, that is so

160
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:42.399
so wild. And the wildest thing is that you're saying,

161
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.519
so that came out of the same tree later on, then.

162
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.799
Yep, as soon as I started getting closer is when

163
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.879
it just like straight backed out, did that ninety degree

164
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.320
turn and looked straight at me.

165
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.639
Okay, so it goes into the tree. Guessing face first

166
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.919
when it's coming back out of the tree. Then is

167
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.279
it is it coming out backward or is it facing

168
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:16.039
you backwards? Interesting? That's extremely interesting. So it's not like

169
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.200
it was able to go into some this is we're

170
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.759
really theorizing here, But it's not like it was able

171
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.200
to go into some some room inside of a tree,

172
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.320
turn around and then come back out and he's viewing you.

173
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.559
It's like he had to or the creature went in

174
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.360
there and then just back backed out of it. So

175
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.039
you're all of a sudden you're seeing these huge shoulders

176
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.799
and and harry Back coming out of you out of

177
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:41.240
a tree.

178
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.600
Right. Oh yeah, let's talk about some broad shoulders.

179
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.840
How how far apart would you estimate those to be?

180
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.360
All ever a bit of four and a half feet

181
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.519
mm hmm, he it was. Yeah, Yeah, it was a big.

182
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.639
It was a big creature, that is for sure, because

183
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.519
like I couldn't I could measure it because so at

184
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.159
the tree about when I got closer where it stood,

185
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.559
there was like a branch that was coming off and

186
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.240
it was like right at his head height, and you

187
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.360
could easily tell at that was about nine to nine

188
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.000
and a half feet tall off the ground that branch was.

189
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.639
Okay, so you're saying, yeah, yeah, right, you mentioned nine

190
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:34.919
feet tall. Absolutely. Now let's be the cool thing is

191
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:36.840
that you were able to actually look at it for

192
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:42.840
a few minutes in the flashlight. In the light. How

193
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.039
if you had to compare the size of the head

194
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.320
of it to like a household object, what would you say?

195
00:12:51.679 --> 00:13:00.799
Oh, let me see, I would say maybe, I mean

196
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.759
at least three times its size as air fryer, I mean,

197
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:06.919
ever bit the size of a microwave.

198
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.519
Massive.

199
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.639
Massive, Yeah, it's massive.

200
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.519
Yeah, yeah, when you're looking at it, did it at

201
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.480
any time, have any emotion to its face at all?

202
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.799
No, No, not at all.

203
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.799
Do you remember any of the features of the face,

204
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.240
And this could be anything from the eyes looked like this,

205
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.240
the nose looked like this, or the lips were like this.

206
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.840
I you couldn't tell too much of the features on

207
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.840
its face, but you can definitely tell it was like

208
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.600
a little bit ape Like.

209
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:56.759
Okay, interesting, And what were the main features that jumped

210
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.720
out to you as being ape?

211
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:06.519
Like? Definitely his arms, how long it was, And I

212
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.159
would say it was probably a good the length of

213
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.080
it was probably a good half a foot past its knees.

214
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.519
It's like, you know, I couldn't really tell if he

215
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.519
was hunched over a little bit or standing straight up,

216
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.799
but I mean his arms were long.

217
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:26.360
M I get it.

218
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.879
That was the biggest That was the biggest feature that stood.

219
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.240
Out, gotcha. Yeah, that would be a huge, huge giveaway

220
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.120
for sure. I Mean, if I saw something like that,

221
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.440
I'd be like, Wow, I'm not looking at a bear

222
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.000
or something like that. I mean, that's just something different,

223
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:43.039
That's what I'd be thinking.

224
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:47.679
But yeah, because that was like, that's definitely not a bear.

225
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.480
I've seen bears, I've interacted with bears, and there ain't

226
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.600
no way a bear has an arm length that's like

227
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.159
four and a half feet.

228
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:05.240
Was there any I'm trying to think of different options

229
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:10.240
here when we're thinking specifically of when it goes into

230
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.759
the tree and then comes out of the tree back

231
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.759
first towards you. Was there anything that you noticed during

232
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:23.080
that time when it was not there that made you think, okay,

233
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.360
like this thing is gone? Or could it potentially have

234
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.759
had been like up against the tree bark and just

235
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.240
really well camouflaged.

236
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.480
You know, I'd never thought about it like that because

237
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.000
during the interaction it just looked like it was straight gone.

238
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.639
Because I mean, like I had my flashlight phixiated on

239
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.720
that spot, and I think, you know, with the size

240
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.120
of the tree, I would have seen, you know, as

241
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.720
me getting closer if it was up against the tree

242
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:56.000
or not.

243
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.879
Yeah. Absolutely, when it came out of the tree, well okay,

244
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.600
so how long between it going into the tree and

245
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.799
it coming back out of the tree. How long would

246
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.440
you say time? Oh man, that's just long enough to

247
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.200
freak you out when it comes back out. Oh yeah,

248
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.720
because I'd be like, I'd be like, oh, this thing

249
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.559
is gone. Well that was weird. And then all of

250
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.600
a sudden, I'm back, you know, like huge Harry back

251
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.759
out of nowhere. What shape was the head?

252
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:39.320
Oh, I'm not can't say oblong, but I really can't

253
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.720
explain it. I mean maybe kind of like how human

254
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:45.480
heads are just amplified.

255
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:52.399
Interesting. When the creature went into the tree in that

256
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.279
time period, or maybe any other time period, were you

257
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:01.720
did you physically react in any way? Was your body

258
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.119
feeling weird in any way, ears, et cetera.

259
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.279
No, No, not at all. It's kind of I would

260
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:17.240
say I kind of got a little excited more than anything.

261
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.880
I didn't have no fear, no nothing going through me,

262
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.680
no ringing in the ears, no headaches, no dizziness, nothing.

263
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.519
It was just like, this is what I just seen.

264
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.559
I'm kind of excited, right.

265
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.680
I would be right there with you. At any point,

266
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.559
did you have what felt like pressure change in your ears?

267
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:40.440
No?

268
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:50.240
Okay, no sudden. What is it called nosebleeds or anything? Nope? Okay.

269
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.240
You mentioned it has black hair. Would you say was

270
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.519
the entire creature covered with black hair? Or are there

271
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.519
are parts of it that were not covered with hair

272
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.880
that you could see?

273
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.440
It was mostly all covered in black hair, but I

274
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.359
think like his the chest area, you can see some skin.

275
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.920
Okay. Remind me again of how far away from you

276
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.559
this is when you're able to get that good look

277
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.200
in the flashlight.

278
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:28.559
Light about thirty to thirty five feet Okay. And it

279
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.480
wasn't the greatest last flashlight. It wasn't high in lumens

280
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:33.400
or anything like that.

281
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.920
Gotcha. Could you tell anything about the creature that made

282
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:46.240
you think? Okay, the way it was built, how muscular

283
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.000
it was, et cetera.

284
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:52.039
Oh, extremely muscular. I would not want to mess with

285
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.039
that creature.

286
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:59.880
Okay, would you have? Let's say, if I was just

287
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.880
a did it look like any you know, let's say

288
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:09.720
athletes you've seen, or or characters in a movie. When

289
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.599
it comes to the size of it's how it was

290
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.079
built with its muscles? Is there anything that comes to mind?

291
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:20.240
Oh? Muscle wise, I would say it was probably built

292
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.160
like Terry Crews.

293
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.799
Oh yeah, the actor right, yeah.

294
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.519
Yeah, yeah, he was. He was pretty muscular. I mean,

295
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.200
not his heighth his height was ever bit a Shaquille O'Neal,

296
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.960
but it hit the muscular and the muscles on that thing.

297
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.720
Definitely built like Terry Crews, if not even more.

298
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.839
Yeah, which terry Crews is extremely I mean that gentleman

299
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:54.200
is very muscularly defined, for sure. Could you tell if

300
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.920
it was Was there anything that told you what I'm

301
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.000
looking at is probably male or female?

302
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.599
No? Nothing?

303
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:08.039
Okay, got it. It sounds like there was only one

304
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:10.000
creature present that you saw at the time.

305
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.440
Yeah, it was just one.

306
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.960
Okay. What were the sounds like around this whole encounter

307
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:19.799
in the woods?

308
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:25.720
Silent the whole time, dead silent? Wow?

309
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.160
And okay, so you are you're getting to the cemetery.

310
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.200
It's already there's nothing and I'm guessing. Correct me if

311
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.960
I'm wrong, but I'm guessing. So you're not hearing bugs. No,

312
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:41.200
you're not hearing birds?

313
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:46.440
Nothing, No crickets, nothing, absolutely nothing.

314
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.920
Got it? Any weird smells.

315
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:53.039
No, not that I can recall.

316
00:20:54.000 --> 00:21:05.079
You're good now. Another really interesting part is you said

317
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:11.599
like your friends almost came into the bubble that you had,

318
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.279
and so that's that really makes me wonder what was

319
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:22.400
actually going on. So did they seem not to realize

320
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.720
it was there then until they got close enough to

321
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.119
you or what do you think?

322
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.039
Yeah? Pretty much like I they didn't even realize what

323
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.279
I was looking at, what I was doing and then

324
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:41.039
I think, I don't know, like I'm trying to think

325
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:46.799
about it more accurately because of the way my interaction

326
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.519
was and how I felt and how I could feel

327
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:54.400
the presence of this creature. It's like, as soon as

328
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:58.960
they came into my, my bubble, my area, they freaked out.

329
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.240
And so so it kind of dawned on me thinking

330
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.799
about it and doing some research about bigfoot, is that

331
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.240
I think that their hearts aren't pure. My old friend's

332
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.880
hearts weren't pure enough, and so it brought in that

333
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:17.519
sense of fear. And if they've seen it, it spooped

334
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.440
them out and they ran because I've asked them years

335
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.400
later and they said they don't recall anything that night.

336
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.920
Oh really, they have no recollection of seeing something there.

337
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.000
Do they even remember running away?

338
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:34.440
No? Not really?

339
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:40.640
Wow. Okay, So then, but you said you had you

340
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.880
ran away with them as well, correct, Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

341
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.119
So why do you think the reason that you ran

342
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.079
away was if during the main part of the encounter

343
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.319
you pretty much were just curious, right.

344
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.920
Yeah, yeah, pretty much curious, I would say. I mean

345
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.079
when they came in and it probably it probably sparked

346
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:05.680
a little bit of fear in me even though I

347
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.720
had none. I mean, fear is you know, contagious, it

348
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:13.079
can spread, and I was just and then when I've

349
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.880
seen it disappear just like that, I was kind of

350
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.480
got spooked and I was like, oh, well, crap, I

351
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.200
guess I got to run too. And I mean like

352
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.680
and as I was and as I was running, it's

353
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.119
not like I was like, oh my god, it's chasing us.

354
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.839
Like I definitely remember kind of having a smirk on

355
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.440
my face and just enjoying myself running through a cemetery.

356
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.640
Oh sure, how long did you have to run? I'm

357
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.200
guessing you're probably getting back to the cars.

358
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:46.640
Oh yeah, not even more than a minute minute thirty seconds, okay,

359
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.640
because yeah, the road from the cemetery was not far

360
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.920
at all, half the length of a football field off

361
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:54.319
the road.

362
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:02.799
Have you ever been back to that cemetery? No, would

363
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.279
you ever go back or what are your thoughts on that?

364
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:16.119
I haven't been back to Indiana and probably about fourteen years.

365
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:23.400
Right, So I'm sure someone's thinking it. But obviously if

366
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.319
you're if you're running out of the area and then

367
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.559
driving away, you're not going to have time to This

368
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.599
isn't a thing where we're investigating to look for tracks.

369
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.000
We are, we're a little most of the people are freaked.

370
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:36.960
We're getting out of there.

371
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:43.039
We're getting out of there. Yeah, I know. So you've

372
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.240
seen uh finding Bigfoot? Right?

373
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.480
Oh yeah.

374
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:52.799
So they actually did an episode called Who's Your Bigfoot?

375
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.119
And they were in the area where I seen Bigfoot,

376
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:01.799
and they did say it was prime bigfoot area like

377
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.880
I was. I was even yeah, I was even there

378
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.759
at the taping, like, uh, you could see me in

379
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.759
the episode in the town hall like I thought. It

380
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.480
was just like because I seen it down at IU

381
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.680
University on a pillar said hey, you like bigfoot? You

382
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:19.400
want to talk about bigfoot? I was like, okay, yeah, sure,

383
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.119
let's talk about bigfoot. I got there six months later.

384
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:27.000
Turn out it's Finding Bigfoot. And I didn't really talk

385
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.880
on the show because back then I was a little

386
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.319
camera shy, And so after the show I talked to

387
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:39.160
Cliff and he brought up a good theory about it

388
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.519
being a because I told him my experience and stuff

389
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:46.920
like that, and he sort of agreed with me about

390
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.920
it being you know, a primitive consciousness and stuff like that,

391
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:58.599
but also a relative of a giant orangutane I think

392
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.000
I believe it was an orangutane.

393
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:06.839
Gotcha, So your experience actually happened years before that finding

394
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:12.440
bigfoot taping then, yeah, yeah, a few years.

395
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:22.279
Yeah, I think that taping was like two ten, twenty eleven.

396
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.680
That's wild. That is wild. It's I've talked to a

397
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:31.480
lot of people, a lot a lot of people, and

398
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.039
I don't think I think this is probably the first

399
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.880
one I've ever had where the creature is viewed walking

400
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:44.359
into a tree and then coming out of the same tree,

401
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:49.119
especially backwards too. That's as weird as all get out. Yeah.

402
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.519
I've talked to other people and like, I've shared my

403
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.279
story and stuff like that. Excuse me, not with a

404
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.119
lot of people though, because a lot of people just

405
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.240
automatically guy and be like, you're crazy, you didn't see anything,

406
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.240
And I'm like, oh, I know, I definitely did see

407
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:10.039
something and it looked like a bigfoot, and you know, yeah,

408
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.039
most of them usually I always just hear like a

409
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:17.279
knock or a growl off in the distance. I haven't

410
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.319
met too many people have had close counter experiences like

411
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:20.680
I have.

412
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.200
It is it's a very unique experience. How did how

413
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.759
did that experience affect you in years since then.

414
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.920
Definitely open me up more to know that there are

415
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:47.319
more entities and interdimensional entities than what we are told about.

416
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:53.640
Sure, does that mean that you started to have experiences

417
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.480
related to that or that you just became more aware

418
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.480
of things like that?

419
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:04.119
I would say more the awareness opened my eyes up,

420
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.000
and I definitely started seeing a lot more stuff. I

421
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.119
can't say Bigfoot because that's the only Bigfoot experience I have,

422
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.599
but more open up to, like, you know, the extraterrestrial

423
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:19.079
stuff I have experiences than that. There's one experience I

424
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:24.039
get a little cautious about telling because all I can

425
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:28.279
say is me and my ex girlfriend we woke up

426
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.480
one morning and the park that was like a half

427
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:35.400
a mile away from the experience was closed down to

428
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:39.880
the FBI by the FBI, and it said FBI and training.

429
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.839
And when I seen that, I was just pretty much

430
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.480
like if they would have came down the river a

431
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.640
little bit more and knew that we were there, we

432
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:54.279
wouldn't be here right now. We'd be taken. Wow.

433
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.920
It is. It's one of those things where you know,

434
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.240
usually you have someone who has a experience that's related

435
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.799
to Bigfoot, and then they can or they will have

436
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.319
you know, they'll start they'll see a UFO or an

437
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.640
alien or a shadow person or having really weird dreams

438
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.799
or starting to hear voices. I mean, it's there's a

439
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.880
whole different there's a whole line of things that can happen.

440
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.279
And I think it either mark It can mark you,

441
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.440
or it can just open up yourself to being aware

442
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.279
of what's going on around you. I don't know what

443
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.680
the right answer for that is, you know, but.

444
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.799
I would say probably open open me up more of

445
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.880
awareness of what's going around because I can honestly say,

446
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:50.920
like ever since that, like my path trajectory has changed,

447
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:55.880
I'm more spiritual than I am anything now. My dreams

448
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.519
are extremely lucid. From time to time, I'm and I

449
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.240
see you know, UFOs all the time.

450
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:11.839
Oh wow, you mentioned you're you're in a different state

451
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.440
now or maybe you alluded to it, can't remember, But

452
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.920
have you had any Bigfoot activity where you're at now?

453
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:24.279
No? Not where I live. It's too heavily populated and

454
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.440
too much like city.

455
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:31.480
Like absolutely, would you ever want to have one of

456
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.079
those experiences again like you experienced in that cemetery?

457
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.839
Oh? Absolutely, one hundred percent, no doubt in my mind,

458
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:43.079
I think it'd be. I think it's great. I find

459
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:48.960
meaning things outside of what people can perceive, and would

460
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.799
people would deem you crazy to be fascinating.

461
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:57.839
I agree, I agree. Sorry to cut you off. There

462
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.920
was there something else you would wanted to share as well?

463
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.799
Oh yeah, I was gonna say I I have heard

464
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:08.519
of experiences out in the Kala National Forest in Florida,

465
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:14.839
but yeah, I'm I'm probably I'm near the Everglades. I

466
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:16.599
haven't heard too much out there.

467
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.200
Well, it is a thing where I don't even know

468
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.240
if I'd go out there by myself, to be honest,

469
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:27.559
there's too many pythons and stuff. But I mean that area,

470
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:31.759
even down there, there's Skuncape stuff going on and all

471
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.480
that jazz and and I mean, if you if you

472
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.240
wanted to, you could totally get out there and even

473
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.240
check out like this. I think the Skunkcape Center with

474
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:44.839
Dave Sheely's down there somewhere, okay, but that that'd be

475
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.359
kind of a fun deal, maybe at least to see

476
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.680
what you got down there. But man, Jake, what what

477
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.759
a really? Really? I mean, this is this is awesome.

478
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:06.480
It's very special. It's a great example of the right

479
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.519
person being in the right area and what can happen.

480
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.200
It's very cool. It's very very cool. Well, I want

481
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.920
to say thank you so much for taking the time

482
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:24.400
to share what your experience was out there in the

483
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.119
Morgan Monroe Forest area of Indiana. I want to make

484
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.720
sure was there anything else that you would needed to

485
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:33.759
share about your encounter as well, or were you able

486
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:35.680
to share everything that had happened.

487
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.720
I pretty much shared it all. But you know, I'd

488
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:44.319
like to talk about, you know, if when the people

489
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:47.559
that you've talked to, have they ever had the same

490
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.240
kind of feeling as I have. I'm just curious in

491
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.839
that as in, like, you know, if they had up

492
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:56.599
in close personal encounters, was there did they have feelings

493
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:01.960
of curiosity, no fear or anything like that? Because my

494
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:06.160
experience it has led me to believe that I think

495
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:08.079
that we have different brains. You know, we have our

496
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.400
heart brain, we have our stomach brain, we have our

497
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:16.279
in our head our brain brain that our heart can

498
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.160
processes on another wavelength of frequency. And I think, you know,

499
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:24.640
like if you have fear and hate in your heart,

500
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.960
that's the frequency that you project off. If you are

501
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:32.319
love and curious, that's the frequency that you your heart projects.

502
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.960
And that's why I think, like, you know, my big

503
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.960
foot encounter happened, is because he or she knew that

504
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.839
I'm not a threat, that I have a pure, pure heart,

505
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.119
and it just and it made its presence known, like hey,

506
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.440
there's somebody here that I can share an experience with,

507
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.920
I can open up just a little bit more. So. Yeah,

508
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:58.839
I'm just wondering if anybody that's you've ever talked to us,

509
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:00.720
you know, can relate to that.

510
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:03.880
Yeah, that's that's the thing that comes up a lot too,

511
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:09.239
and just thinking about all the different just ways I've

512
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:13.360
talked to a lot of different witnesses. And if you

513
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:17.079
talk to a person where let's say they're in an

514
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:20.800
area they're freaked out, it's always going to be what's

515
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.559
deemed an aggressive encounter. They're going to be chased out

516
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:25.719
of there. They're gonna be like, oh man, I can't

517
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:29.159
believe blah blah blah. But if you talk to these

518
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:32.960
individuals where you know they are, and usually there's things

519
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.840
as in you know they've they've taken the time to

520
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:43.000
get their themselves together, whether that's you know, self work

521
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.480
in some way or meditation, et cetera, and then their

522
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.320
encounters are always like there's some communication there, they're spending time,

523
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:57.199
there's maybe even gifting present in some way. And so

524
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:01.280
I think that definitely if you get to the point

525
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.079
where you're able to take that fear out of yourself

526
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:09.840
and be in the situation, and curiosity is a good

527
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:13.280
way to explain that or to have an example curiosity

528
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:19.079
works really well, or learning or connection those kind of

529
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:24.000
encounters usually there's a lot more that comes out of

530
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:28.960
those as opposed to I got chased out, I got

531
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.239
freaked out, And yeah, I think there's there's something there

532
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:36.719
if a person can really take fear out of the equation,

533
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:40.800
I think that's one of the large, the large things

534
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.679
to being able to have a good encounter.

535
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.239
I agree. I agree. That's why I think excuse me,

536
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:51.519
Bigfoot is just the guardian of the forest.

537
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.159
Interesting. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. I mean,

538
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.239
I've talked to many different people where you know, they

539
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:03.440
go to an area where they're trying to have an

540
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:07.480
encounter with Bigfoot and they end up cleaning up the area,

541
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:11.239
you know, filling a trash bag, taking it out of there,

542
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:14.199
and then after that, you know, that can sometimes lead

543
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.480
to having a good encounter as well, which is kind

544
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:18.559
of cool to think about. You know.

545
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:23.000
Yeah, it's kind of like, hey, thank you for you know,

546
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.920
cleaning up my home. Here, I'll wave to you type

547
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:27.440
thing right, and I'm out of.

548
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.280
There exactly exactly. That's pretty cool, pretty pretty cool stuff.

549
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.119
I mean, it's it's I love it. It's a thing

550
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.599
where we don't know what the writer the wrong answer is,

551
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.719
but you talk to enough people and you can kind

552
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:45.320
of figure out what's probably the more right answer. Right. So,

553
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.800
did you have any other questions at all, Jake.

554
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:52.239
Or No, No, not at all. That was the main

555
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:54.480
the main one. Really. I just want to know if

556
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:59.119
anybody is you know, can relate to that, and seems

557
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:00.800
like they can't, which is good.

558
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:05.360
That absolutely, And if listeners have any thoughts about that

559
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.400
question as well, you know, feel free to put it

560
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.639
in the comments over on YouTube. Jake will be able

561
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:12.960
to check those out, and I'm sure he'll appreciate what

562
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:17.079
other listeners thoughts are when it comes to that question

563
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:19.840
as well. It's a good question. So, but Jake, thank

564
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.480
you so much for coming on the show and for

565
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:26.280

I said, It's a super unique, super unique experience, and

567
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.880
I think it's going to help open the eyes of

568
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:36.039
a lot of people that have heard it. So thank you.

569
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.039

Jake, no problem, buddy.

573
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:51.360
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

574
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.639
around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I

575
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.519
would love to get out in those woods and experience

576
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:02.079
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

577

one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll probably

582
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.079
I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard

583
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:33.239
anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well, you

604
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:01.000
Was able to talk to so so many people last

605
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:05.000
year and the year before. It is an incredible time.

606
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.159
You're not going to want to miss it, and I'll

607
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:11.679
see you there before we wrap this episode, I want

608
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:15.039
to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

609
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.000
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and

610
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.000
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

611
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.079
if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's

612
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.960
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

613
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.519
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

614
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:35.119
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

615
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.320
and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

616
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:41.519
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

617
00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:45.480
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

618
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:49.840
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

619
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.000
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

620
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.480
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

621
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.400
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

622
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.800
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

623
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:06.800
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

624
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.320
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

625
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:14.119
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or

626
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:17.519
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't.

627
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.360
Then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

628
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:27.639
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

629
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.519

630
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.480
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

631
