Off Grid with Sasquatch | Smoky Mountains

0:00 You're listening to Bigflat Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society, You've got the privilege of talking to Brad today. Brad is a mountain man living off grid in the smoky mountains down there in Tennessee. Welcome to the show, Brad. How are you doing today, sir?

0:45 I'm doing great. Appreciate the opportunity to share my experiences. Absolutely. I want to point out a few things about brad setup, which is probably the coolest setup a guest has ever had. Brad is literally hanging out outside by the fire. So if you might see some smoke come across Brad's screen, that's just part of the ambiance. It hats off to him. I guess it's a little bit chilly where you're at today, right, Brad, Yeah. It's about thirty five degrees right now. Yeah, right right out out there where what you're doing off grid, you're definitely you're used to it. What a place to do that too, down the Smokey's beautiful area.

1:29 But you know, Brad, I know a bit about what you've experienced over the years, and it sounds like your story goes way back to different places. So I would say, you know, feel free to take us back to when you first started having experiences with what you found out to be a bigfoot. Okay, Well, like I said, I'm used to the cold weather because I born and raised in nor the Utah and the Rocky Mountains, and spent my childhood growing up in a little town called Huntsville that nobody knew about back then. But two thousand and two Winter Olympics came through there and that changed everything. Everyone knows about it now.

2:15 But part of why I'm in Tennessee currently. But when I was a child, I had a friend that lived we'll say, in the northeast corner of the Huntsville Valley. Area there and me and him and two other friends of ours, So it was Richard, Sean and Jeff I believe was He didn't hang out with as much. So I'm a little blurry on his name, but I first sear his name was Jeff. But anyways, me, Richard, Shawn, and Jeff was out there. And behind Richard's house there was a hill that just went up into the mountains, you know that. Well, there was a field behind his house first and horses and stuff, and then just went up into the foothills and on up into the mountains from there. And we decided that we were going to hike up to this point that we could see from his backyard up there, which which from his backyard we thought that was the top of the mountain. We found out later it was just a top of a hill, but we were little kids, and so anyway, we packed our lunches and we headed off. We took off on up the mountain. We was going to make our climb to the summit. And on the way up there, I'm

3:48 not sure what initially caught our attention about these trees on the hillside, because the whole hillside's pretty at this time of the year it was summertime. This would have been sometime around seventeen seventy six. Fourth of July celebration was going on that year, and we so the graund The whole hillside is kind of a yellow color with kind of the gray green of sagebrush modeled in with it, with an occasional juniper tree, and most of the junipers that grew on those hillsides were you know, ten to fifteen feet tall. And anyway, something caught our attention about these three trees that were up there, and we noticed them, and I pointed out that, yeah, I look, they're in a perfect triangle the way they're positioned, and you know, just silly stuff kids talk about. Anyway, we continue climbing up, and as we kept going up the mountain, some about those trees kept catching my taip. I wasn't focused on them, but something just kept drawing my attention over that way, and I started noticing that, God, there's those trees seemed to be in really weird position compared to the way they looked before. Because you know, sure my angle on the mountain had changed, but but it just didn't seem right the position of those trees anymore. But anyway, we

5:20 just continued on up and got to the summit that we found out was just a little foothel basically, you know in the Rocky Mountains, things get pretty pretty high up there. And anyway, uh so we decided, well, we've made it here. We stopped at and was eating our lunch. Well, while I was eating, always eating our lunch, something caught my attention and I looked back over there just now to the left of me and noticing there's only two trees over there, And I thinking, am I crazy? I know there were there were three trees. There's only two trees on that hillside. So I turned to my friends and asked them how many trees did we see on that hillside? And they're all like, there was three? Where did the third tree go? And so all of a sudden, there's four kids are hair on the back of our neck stood up, and we're like, when did trees start walking away? Because there's you know, only two trees there now.

6:26 And now, like I say, these trees are between ten to fifteen feet tall, most of them. So whatever it was you that was there that walked away was something that looked like a ten to fifteen foot tall kind of conical shaped like a juniper tree grows out in the open sunlight like that. And we at that point decided it was time to head back home, and we took off running down that hillside and we got down to the bottom and back into the field with the horses and stuff, and we decided, okay, we're safe. You know, we slowed down. We was just walking across the field at that time. Yon the horses in the field, they were used to us being back there all the time.

7:12 They weren't reacting to us whatsoever. We was about halfway across that field and those horses went crazy, like I've never seen them back like that, and they ran out towards the way the field was that it was kind of a big, huge square field, and their house sat in the front right corner of the field, and so part of the field had road frontage on it, and they ran all the way up to that roadside of the fence and was just back and forth, back and forth like they were looking for a way to get out past that, out of that pasture. You know, just completely irrational behavior. Never seen him behave like that before.

8:00 Wore that and so we all just like we need to get inside. So we ran inside the house and you know, I remember his mom yelled at us, what you kids, settled down, whatever you're up to you and you'd go settle down. So we went and hid in his room until it was time to go home. Well, that next morning, Richard called me and he said, did it come to your house? And I said what? And he said, did it come to your house? Sorry, I'm a little teared up because rest in peace Richard's out with a city mark. But I said, no, it didn't come.

8:49 It didn't come to my house. What are you talking about, you know? And he says, well, last night something pounded on my bedroom wall. And he says, and I looked and I could see its head looking through the window. Now, Richard's bedroom that had kind of one of those It was a one story home, but it had those high up windows that only folded out, so they weren't down the normal eye level, you know, they were like along the ceiling line of the room. And so for something to be looking in through that window from outside, it had to be ten eleven feet tall, which would match with the size of what we assumed was a tree up on the hillside. But he says, yeah, looked in the window and just stood there for a minute, and then he heard a low growl, like just a rumbling growl, and then it walked away. And we decided that that was our warning not to go back up on that hillside again. And we never did. We, you know, just okay, we get the message. We won't mess with your area, and you don't come scares us in the middle of the night. No more. So we didn't really tell anyone about that because a lot, you know, we wondered if we'd get in trouble for going hiking up the hill like that, because I don't think we really told his mom what we were up to. We was just you know, kids off adventuring. But so we never really talked about

10:23 it or anything after that. But then years later I started bowhunting, and this is what attracted me or got my attention to your podcast. As you were interviewing I can't remember his name, but some guy there in Ogden area, and he was talking about Curtis Creek and that's the area where I used to go bowhunt. And I started going up there bowhunting, and first year I was up there, I was with a group of guys, and we'd gone in further back and he was talking about we was arched basins about halfway to get to where we would going.

11:06 We were back in by a place where that everyone calls the island, and uh, and it's just the way the road goes around a certain high mountain. It's kind of creates an island to the way the road goes around it, so they call it that. But uh, I used to set my tree stand up on the top of that mountain and hunt boho up there on top of that mountain. It was it was the center of the island. But anyway, we were off on the east side of the island that year and I heard something in the middle of the night come through camp. And it was obviously not moves or out, you know, it wasn't It was bipedal. You know, you can tell when something's walking on two feet. It just that it sounds different.

12:05 And I was in a tent and so I just kind of laid there and was real quiet and listened to whatever walked through. And it walked on through and kept going, didn't stop and mess with anything. They just walked through camp. Whatever it was. But I could tell it was big. I could tell it was bipeel and I laid there and wondered, I wonder if that's that thing we saw when I was a kid. Yo, Well that was all happened that year. The next year up there hunting with and I was with the same guys in the same area, and I didn't hear anything, but got up the one morning and they're all like, did you hear that last night? What? Ah? There was some kind of something out there in the forest making all kinds of noise and busting branches and tearing things up, And I was like, oh no, I slept right through it.

12:55 Didn't hear nothing new. Well that night I did here and I think it might have been because I was keeping an ear out, you know, sleeping lighter than normal. I don't know, but something ran through the forest about where we were at. And now I've hiked up into that area and you could barely wiggle your way through it. It's so thick. It's just thick, thick conifer forests, just hard to get through. And something went through there, like like it was running through the park and it, I mean branches and just the sound was just unbelievable, how much commotion it made is it just ripped its way through the forest whatever it was, and you know, every one of us came out of our tents. I was in a trailer actually that year, and come out of our tents trailers, going what is going on? And we didn't hear anything else, So we all just kind of settled down and went back a bit. Well, the following year up there about hunting, I didn't have any experiences.

14:15 But a year after that, I was up there and I'd gone up by myself, and I was on the other side of the island, so this would be the west side of that area. And I pulled into a little spot right past this place they call Red Ponds, and I was sleeping in my truck, no camp or no nothing, just sleeping in the back of the truck. I got a big crew cab and something hit the side of my truck, and I mean it rocked that truck and woke me up from dead sleep, and I looking around trying to figure out what's going on, you know, shining flashlight, you never saw nothing, didn't no explanation for what had hit the truck, what happened, And so I was awake from that point until sunlight started coming up, and I got up to pike up to my tree stand to do some bowling before the sun came up.

15:24 And I hiked up there to that thing, but I don't know how many times, but I got about halfway up there, and I got struck with a sense of fear and unease and just discomfort that I can't explain because I didn't hear nothing, I didn't see nothing, and I'm used to being out I mean, I'm out here in the woods by myself for days on end, and I'm used to that. But something spooped me so bad that I turned and went back, got in my truck and decided I was done hunting that season. And I didn't hunt that season, So I decided I was going to get over that spooking and took my wife up there camping the next year, about three weeks before the Bohut started, and we went over. There was all kinds of people up there, riding ATVs and campers and there, you know, all kinds of just activity going on just up and down the roads. And so we had gone over to a spot that was kind of back off away from all the roads, and it was just another spot that's kind of southeast of that island area there, and set up camp there and we was having a nice time. Well, I had a job interview. We would spend a whole week up there, and I had a job interview on Hill Air Force Base. I had to run down there to go even interview. So I went

16:58 down to that left my life up there. I wouldn't worry about it because there was all those people who had been there at all, you know, the whole time they've been up there. But I got done and it was coming back in that afternoon and there's nobody. There's nobody in any of the camp camp spots, all the no ATV's motorcyclis coming up down the road. I mean, it just everyone had just gone home. And this was a Monday, you know, so it was Monday morning that I had gone down to do the interview. And so the further I get back in there, because you know, it's about eight miles back in there from where you turn off the pavement to get all the way back into where we was at. And you know, the further I got back in there without seeing any other campers and stuff, the more I started worrying about my wife and h I was happy when I got there to find her okay and stuff, but just nobody up there at all, not even ATV riders and stuff. That was I'd never seen it like that. Even boat there's always somebody up there riding during you know. But anyway, so I was happy to find her okay, and we settled in for the night and we're sitting around campfire and just doing our things. All of a sudden, from I mean it couldn't have been one hundred yards away, just up on top of the hill that we was right

18:29 there next to, came a howl stream hot I don't know what to call it. It was at just a huge screeching howling, I mean, just deep, thunderous secting, like a lion and a gorilla and an elephant all going off at the same time or something. I mean, just undescribed, but it was obviously a displeasure with us being there. Was the immediate message I got from the sound of it.

19:12 It was a territorial get out of my house kind of just howl, just angry howl. And my wife of course looks over at me. I was like, what's that. I'm thinking, Okay, what am I going to tell her this is without terrifying her, because at that point I was convinced that that bigfoot, but I can't tell my wife that, right, So I'm trying to say, well, maybe it's it was a moose or elk or something that got damage to its throat, or trying to come up with some crazy explanation to have my wife freak out in the middle of the forest in the middle of the night. And anyway, she wasn't buying my crap. She said, I don't know what it was, but I'm going to bed.

20:01 And I tried to pretend like I wasn't spooped, because I was really trying not get her scared. And so I sat out there by the fire for about fifteen minutes. And the longer I sat there, the more spooped I got, because I was I was hearing movement like it was slowly making its way closer and closer and closer through the trees towards me. And so finally I decided, Okay, I'm gonna quit pretending to be a tough guy and I'm going into the trailer. So I went in and told her, yeah, I think whatever it was went away, and we managed to settle down and go sleep that night.

20:42 But we we got up and left that next morning. We didn't stay. We was going to stay like three or four more days than that, and we went it went home, And that's the last time I ever went up to that area and camped or hunted or anything until and then we moved to Tennessee. And so that brings me to the next phase of my story. Because the land we bought is completely undeveloped off grid. I mean, I had to the first thing I had to do is create the road to get in here, to even start clearing area, to start building anything. You know, everything you see behind me, I've mailed out of my own forest and hand nailed together myself. But the beginning of that process coming up in here, the little road I'd cut in stuff. I've been up here working all day, gone home one night and having a little excavator up here, was clearing out spot to get an RB into. And I come up next morning and I had where I had to park at that point because I hadn't graveled the whole road, and it was winter times, so the road would get real mucky, so I couldn't drive the truck all the way up in so I'd have to park the truck down at what I called the turnaround spot at that time, and then I carried two cans of diesel fuel up the mountain to get to the

22:14 excavator and get back to work. I got up to where just to where the excavator was, and there was a tree sapling well big, you know, twenty foot talls happened, had been bent over across the road, and the top of it was tied into a root ball and stuff in a way to where I literally had to get a saw and cut it to get it loose. It was. It was like it was just twisted into there with such force that it walked in and I couldn't. I had to cut it get it to come out. Now, no other true year around that had fallen that could have possibly pushed it over and made it do that little explanation whatever. I maybe we took it as a sign that someone's telling me that it didn't want me here.

23:18 So I spent a couple of days wandering around the forest and communing with the forest and communing with God, so, you know, just explaining my intention and and and and saying prayers and talking to the forest and anything that may be listening to let them know my intentions here that I plan on being part of the forest. I'm not here to take it away from anybody, you know.

23:58 And since do that, I haven't had anything happen that seemed to be aggressive, which I'm very grateful for. But I do get notices, I guess the best way to put it. They're not aggressive. They're not nothing screaming or howling at me in the night, nothing like that, but just noises in the forest that don't coincide with the sounds that I normally hear. I'm sure during this podcast you've heard that pilated woodpeckers going off in the background, and the little rims, and the forest has got its own music that it makes all day long. But I'm so in tune and familiar with it that anything that's outside of the norm catches my attention. And I hear knocks.

25:02 There's trees that there's a ridge line here that I find, trees that are all broken in the same direction, showing a path guiding you right up the path. If you watch for them and follow them, they're all there, and they are all trees that are broken. You know, there's trees all around them, no other reason why they no other trees broken, just one tree right there and snapped in a way that is, you know, obviously it's been grabbed up high and snapped over. You know, the wind doesn't just snap the top of a tree off like there've been to the top of a tree like that and not cause chaos to the trees around it at the same time. And so I got that going on all the time here. But back up on the back forty of the property, I've only been up there a few times, but we've found a old cabin up in there.

26:02 There's an old hunting cabin somebody had built and abandoned, and it's hard to get to because well, first off, it's got trees that have fallen over on top of it, and then all the way around it, the whole forest there's trees that are fallen, and they're falling just in a way to where they create a barrier. It's it's not like they all got blown by the wind and fell over one direction. They're they're like lattice work, and they're not chopped down. They're pushed over there. You know, rootball still attached a tree falling over. And both times I've been up there and fighting my way through to even get to that cabin, I've just got the direct impression that something did that intentionally. It doesn't want anyone up there at that gap. I mean, that's the only conclusion I could come to, you know, if I could see, because I know the way the winds come into this mountain, the way they blow. They they come from one direction.

27:15 They don't blow back from the other direction hard enough to blow a tree over, because they'd have to come over the mountain and then back down to do that. And so just the way those trees are falling, it's like, Okay, now these aren't These aren't falling because of wind these Something has made these trees fall over. And so I just kind of leave that area alone up there. I figure, I don't I don't need to go up there for anything anyway, and it's hard to get up in there, and don't I just get the impressions somebody uses that and doesn't want me up there messing around. You know. Eventually, I'll probably build me a road up there enough to clear out some of that stuff out of the cabins, out all kinds of usable stuff in it. Still, it's just hard to even get to you. And I can't imagine trying to haul stuff out of there by hand.

28:07 I'd have to build a road there to even do anything about it. But just kind of a crazy spot up there that I can only I can only assume it's the same creatures that have been making the other signs around here in the haller that just and and you can call me crazy, but I believe it's bigfoot. I don't think you're crazy at all. That sounds like the potential for very active area. You said, is it just you there or your wife is there as well?

28:51 Me and my wife and her cat. Does the cat ever react to anything in a weird way? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, There's there's times ween the cat. He wants to be out and underfoot all the time. He wants to be hanging out with me when I'm out doing things. His favorite thing to do is wander through the forest with me, and and especially if if the mom is coming with us, then he's really happy. But he gets times where he doesn't want to be outside unless I'm outside. And he's usually quite independent, wanting out, you know, monstering all night long. He's you know, living his best life up here, but he does. He definitely has times where where he just he wants to be inside and he wants to be close to Daddy. He doesn't want he wants somebody to make him feel safe.

29:54 And I noticed the behavior, you know, I guess I just always assumed he'd had to run in with the coyote or possum or raccoon or you know, because we have the whole camp. But up here we got bears. We got it, you know, we got it all. I've had turf wars with the bears, letting them know that no, they can't scare me out of here, and learning to speak their languages, you know, marking my territory. But they finally quit leaving us alone. They've decided I'm more danger than I'm worth. But we get all kinds of critters here. I mean, they're just it's it's we're out in the woods and so definitely a lot of activity for wildlife just in general. But like I say, I do know there's there's things I hear in the forest that don't count.

30:48 They don't count for normal sounds, their unusual activity. Has your wife ever experienced anything when she's been. I don't know if she goes on walks out in the woods as well, or. She doesn't go out on her own. She stays. She's she's pretty dependent on me as far as Phelix safe and secure up here. She stays in the trailer a lot of time. Of course, you know, she has business that she runs out of Bristol. She so she goes there and does that a lot too. So she's not as adventurous outdoorsy as I am, but she's I think her only real experiences has been the camping experience in Utah and then the things that I've pointed out to her because I've showed her, shown her the signs that I've noticed around here, and she's like, oh wow, yeah, okay, I see what you mean. Yeah that that doesn't make sense.

31:57 Yeah, exactly. So you're seeing a lot of trees that are affected. Have you ever had any seen anything that looks like footprints around your cabin? Well, footprints would be tough around here. I mean, I've got ground that I've cleared that I watched for stuff like that. But the only thing I've ever seen is just bear tracks and you know, other smaller craters. But the forest around here is just covered with leaf bed so and anywhere that those leafs aren't there, it's because there's a rock sticking up through it, and so there's not really any bear soil. Now, having said that, I've seen a lot of places where something has slid in the leaf bed that to me, it looks like it would have to be either a bear fell down and slid a little ways, or something with a really big big foot stepped and slid a little ways. But it's a big slide, you know, And if you've ever hiked around in area like this, you know what I'm talking about.

33:15 When you step on when you're going up a hill and step on and the leaves slide under your foot, it makes a little pile of leaves with a skid above it that makes it obvious something slid there. And you know, the size of a skid like that that my foot would make was only half the size of these that I've seen, and I wear size thirteen. So something with big feet, it looks like to me, has gone up few of these slopes and slid in areas getting up to the next spot. And that's the only thing I could I could tests, you know, unless unless a bear, like I say, it take like a bear bouncing off his butt coming down there to make some similar size skid like that. Yeah, so once again, you know, no real tangible evidence, you know, and things that I have seen is you know, you either understand and believe or you come up with some reason not to I guess, but I know what I've heard, you know, and that sound we heard in Utah. There's one of the big Foot shows that was on TV. I don't remember which one, but they were up that same area that they was coming up from the other side up in Logan, Utah.

34:45 But they those canyons, if you follow them up, they come to the same point up there at Lost Creek area. But they was doing a show up there and they were out doing their nighttime investigation. And I heard that howl on their show and immediately recognized it. And they heard it too, and they were like, oh why I but yeah, I've heard that how in real life and on television and immediately immediately recognized it. It's unmistakably the same. How a really interesting story. How things have followed you since that early age and now it sounds like you're dealing with it pretty regularly on this property.

35:36 Yeah, I well, I get the impression that they accepted my you know, my explanation as to why I'm hearing what I'm doing, and they've accepted me as part of the forest, you know, even the animals, the way the animals act. There's birds that come check on me every day if I'm not out doing my thing. By seven o'clock in the morning, there's herbs outside the trailer a chirping and making a commotion until I come out, and they know that everything's everything's back to normal, that the noisy guy's back at his game. But the air they've accepted me, that the forest is. I feel like it's embraced us here and and beyond that, I feel like the sasquatch presence has also accepted that we're just part of the forest. We're not we're not a problem, so to speak, you know. M And that's kind of the energy I get even when I when I out in the forest, except when I was back up in that back corner of the property. Yet that's the only place I've been out here since that initial encounter here that I felt a little uneasy about being there. And I have to wonder if one of them wasn't close by saying hey, uh, you know, you're kind of getting into our area. Because I think they have that ability to whether it's the what do they call it, the infrasound

37:08 or infrasound or ultrasound with the deep rumbling down, they can do whatever. I'm not a wise man. I don't know the anund but uh, I think it has something to do with that I experienced when I was bow hunting up in Utah and what I've experienced up there, because just a just a unexplained uneasiness, you know, just which isn't natural. For as has anything else happened on that property that was out of the ordinary but maybe not related to a sasquatch in your mind?

37:53 Well, I have to wonder if there isn't some kind of either Native American or possibly Civil warrior trauma. I hear that. I can't really say that, you know, any spirits or ghosts or anything like that have manifested or anything, but just sometimes at night when I'm sitting outside listening to the forest, I hear what sounds almost like I don't know if it's a male or female, but just a just like a soft sigh like. A and I every time I hear it, I always look around and listen and wonder, how did I I hear somebody's sigh?

38:44 But I never do any hear any follow up or anything, get anything. But I do hear that probably once every two or three months. I'd spend a lot of time sitting out at night, just enjoying the sounds of the forest, watching the batswine through the moonlight. I'm just an outdoors guy. I enjoyed being out here by myself. Most people think I'm crazy, but. I mean it sounds great to me. It sounds like a great idea. I think more people are trying to do it. To be honest, I'm not good. I'm not going to pull anybody's leg. It's it's a hard lifestyle to take on. There's you know, you've got to be willing to take on whatever comes your way. But uh hmm, it's definitely rewarding and I I wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel like I'm the richest guy in the world, even though I ain't got any money in the bank.

39:48 At this point, Brad and I lost connection, possibly due to the off grade set up that Brad was utilizing, but we were able to have a great conversation. Nonetheless, thank you to Brad for figuring out how to do what he was able to do with his off grid lifestyle and coming on the podcast today to share what he's experiencing down there in Tennessee. Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I would love to get out in those woods and experience it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can. If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll be one of the speakers.

40:44 It's going to be wild. I'll probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well, you just got to be there.

42:16 I hope to see you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so many people last year and the year before. It is an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it, and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners if you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or forestreet worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you still mbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

43:02 And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

43:52 The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story, We've got the mic. See you in the woods.
