Oregon Family Shares Sasquatch Sightings

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.200
I was just staring out the window
and I seen it running on the side

2
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:14.880
of the mountain behind Jasper Mill and
I watched it for ten seconds, and

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:28.280
I didn't say anything because I was
trying to compute what I was seeing while

4
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.479
she was trying to compute what she
was seeing. I was dodging cars that

5
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.880
were stopping on the road and getting
out and looking up at the hill at

6
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:45.039
what she was looking at. It
was tall and it was slender. It

7
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.799
was like a marathon runner on flat
ground, but it was on the side

8
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:59.719
of the mountain. Either you're listening
to the Big Society podcast and I'm Jeremiah

9
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.960
Viron. Every week I talk to
individuals who have experienced Sasquatch in some way

10
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.519
or another, so you won't want
to miss an episode. Make sure you're

11
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.680
subscribed on the platform that you're listening
to, and share this episode where the

12
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.719
friend does not cost a thing and
it helps the show continuing to grow.

13
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.239
If you'd like to hear Bigfoot Society
episodes early in ad free, you can

14
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.840
do so by becoming a Patreon supporter
or YouTube channel member. Links to those

15
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.280
are in the show notes in Bigfoot
Society, I've taken far too much of

16
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:40.920
your time so far, so let's
get on with the show, all right,

17
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.280
Bank Society, you got the privilege
of talking to mister Ronnie Roseman again

18
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:51.400
out there in Oakridge, Oregon,
and this time we've got his daughter Priscilla

19
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:57.920
Davidson and also her husband Steve Davidson
along for the ride. They're both all

20
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.920
on the phone right now. How's
it going, guys? Ready to get

21
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.200
great? Awesome? First off,
I want to ask Ronnie right off the

22
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.960
bat, Ronnie, last time we
talked about some pretty wild stuff that happened

23
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.840
to you out there in Oakridge over
the years. Has anything interesting happened to

24
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.560
Bigfoot Whise since we last talked?
Yeah? That was in April, wasn't

25
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.080
it. There was a two year
disconnect between me and any activities with these

26
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.719
things, right because of the winners. There were hard winners, and then

27
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.439
there were fires for two years and
the near proximity so you couldn't get back

28
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.599
in all the smoke and activity and
stuff. They probably left the area and

29
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.840
I didn't know if they'd become a
back. I went up there a few

30
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.199
times, put up food stuff,
no signs of anything. And I went

31
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.560
up there on my birthday in June
and the last time on the show I

32
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.039
was talking about my gifting tree or
whatever where I built up a trust with

33
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:05.039
him playing guitar and singing, taking
the food in and right behind that tree,

34
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:12.120
which probably three four hundred feet back
in the little meadow, and there

35
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:17.560
was bigfoot tracks all over everywhere for
about one hundred square feet, the familiar

36
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.360
tracks, the old man, the
twenty three inch tracks back. My son

37
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.199
in law and daughters seen him.
We were together. I took him up

38
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.639
there and showed him, and the
big guy is the only one they had

39
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.439
the toes that went in that showed
distinctive five toes. The other ones who

40
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:40.039
were were just on the surface but
no toe definition anyway, the big guy

41
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.000
left toe definition. That's when I
really counted. So the sizes of all

42
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.680
the tracks, there were several different
sizes. What I presumed to be the

43
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.080
old lady was about it was fifteen
inches almost nine inches at the ball,

44
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.319
seven inches at the hill, the
old man twenty three inches in lengths a

45
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.159
little over nine inches at the ball, seven inches at the hill. And

46
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:12.360
then the ones that might be young
adults or juveniles or something with about twelve

47
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.920
inch tracks or whatever they were present. The whole family was there, and

48
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:21.040
that's the ones that I had gotten
acquainted with probably two years before. I

49
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.600
tried to re establish doing that and
nothing. I put the food up,

50
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.639
a bear got ahold of it one
time, and other critters and stuff for

51
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.160
a while, not them, but
they let us know they were there.

52
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.279
I went back up there with Dwayne, and because I told them all this,

53
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.879
I wanted to be showing the tracks
back in there, and I've never

54
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.560
seen tracks like that. You only
see a few, maybe a series if

55
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:55.160
you're lucky, but I've never seen
them do that and leave tracks all over

56
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.040
everywhere. They just left them everywhere, lots of and I don't know why

57
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.279
they did that, still working on
that, but maybe they wanted me to

58
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.279
know they were there. I don't
know. Maybe they missed my singing or

59
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.079
my food. I don't know about
anyway. So I checked away up there,

60
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.279
and he still has d PTSD from
the experiences we had up there previously

61
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.519
before I gained their trust, and
so he didn't want to go back in

62
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.680
there look at the tracks. It
was too far back in because he still

63
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
even though he taught me that area
for over fifty years, and he's not

64
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.600
a pretty any type of animal.
I told you, I think that he's

65
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.519
been charged by grizzlies twice and they
didn't bother him. But he's still I

66
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.279
don't think he's afraid of anything sat
these things. He has a very deep

67
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.519
respect for Bigfoot. I took him
up there, and he wanted to stay

68
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.959
on the road. Well, I
went back in and did my thing and

69
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.279
took my turn stuff. Before I
went back in, he was going to

70
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.560
stay there. I've only heard the
sound three times. Once was in ninety

71
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.720
nine and the sisky use, and
then twice up here that the air raid

72
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:15.279
types sound. You know that one? Are you there? Yes? So?

73
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.879
Oh you heard that one? Yeah, I don't want you running out

74
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.279
on me. I'm so. I
think I told you this last time.

75
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.600
When I don't hear somebody coming back, I think they probably hung up and

76
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.519
took off for something exactly. I'm
not used to getting as much attention.

77
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.439
So anyway that come out, that's
the one that sounds like an air raid

78
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.120
siren and goes on for the slingsy, And that's the one that if it's

79
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.759
close enough. This one sounded like
it was at a pretty good distance,

80
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.360
but I'm sure it was for us. But if you hear that close up,

81
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.439
which I have it, that's the
one that makes your hair stand up.

82
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.759
But anyway, so we heard that, and then I went back and

83
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.079
did my thing, and then when
I come back, nothing happened with me.

84
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.959
While I was back in there singing, and I stayed a a while,

85
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.519
got a half an hour at least. But I got back out and

86
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.639
Dwayne said that, well, he
was standing there. Here's something that was

87
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.680
in the woods, not far somewhere
in there. He didn't know exactly what

88
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.920
it was, couldn't tell, but
right on, right after you heard something

89
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:26.240
on that side behind him. He's
standing on the access road. Behind him,

90
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.800
I heard, he said, sounded
like rocks getting together, and that's

91
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.199
a typical sign, right, So
I think that they were watching him,

92
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.639
and they weren't worried about me.
I think they knew what I was doing,

93
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.480
but I haven't really. I'm trying
to get my nerve backed up.

94
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.560
It's almost like starting over, and
I've been up there with people. I've

95
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.879
been up there two or three times
by myself, and which was unnerving.

96
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:56.160
But I think that maybe for me
to I just now got a car thanks

97
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.639
to the kids here, so I
can start going back up. I haven't

98
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.920
been able to go up there because
of bad car problems, but I can

99
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.040
start going back up there now.
It's not too much snore roads to best

100
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.519
up, but I can start going
back. But I think what I need

101
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.879
to do is what I did from
the first time. I need to go

102
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.360
by myself, because they made it
evident that two times. I think I

103
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.319
can explain this the last time,
but two times I took somebody up there,

104
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:31.120
they got intimidating. One time really
heavy intimidating because I brought somebody with

105
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:37.159
sure, so they don't Yeah,
they want one person and I'm the one

106
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.799
that got the trust, and I'm
the only one. I think that I'm

107
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.159
going to reconnect here with them.
I've just got to steal up and go

108
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.600
back in there by myself, and
that's what I'm going to have to do.

109
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.399
But now I got a chance to
do them, I'm going to start

110
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.320
doing that and see if I can
be established the relationship I had before.

111
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.320
It was great because I go up
there, and as soon as I did

112
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.879
it once they left in NAFPL there, I think it was for me.

113
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.919
But when I established that trust they
were there, it was great to sit

114
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.320
there once you're there there, just
going up every time. But once you're

115
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.759
there and they're whooping, well,
I pitched sounds continuously as long as I

116
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.559
stayed there. They kept whooping from
the area that I would guess was the

117
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.200
area where they left these tracks this
time, but they're whooping and stuff.

118
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.600
I want to get back into that
if I can't. Do you have any

119
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.919
type of sound recorder? Have you
ever considered bringing a sound recorder up there

120
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.320
with you? I consider it and
then I forget about it, and it

121
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.320
just I just ended up not I
believe it or not, and that a

122
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.720
lot of people probably wouldn't believe this. But I never been out or into

123
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.840
this to prove it to anybody.
I don't care, and I just don't.

124
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.120
Even if I seen one, I
would tell it. But I used

125
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.159
to, Thank God, maybe I
wouldn't even tell anybody. I really don't

126
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.799
care about impressing anybody or getting in
the line line with it. But of

127
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.360
course now it's different. We've got
some activities going on. I'm writing a

128
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.639
book, my daughter as a festival, big festival coming up next year.

129
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.360
Right, tell me about your I
didn't know you were starting to write a

130
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.720
book. Can you tell me about
that. It's Oh yeah, I'd like

131
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.600
to clear this up because I've had
the title for this book for at least

132
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.799
fifteen years. I think Todd needs
if he remembers, because I remember telling

133
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.799
about the book from the title about
fifteen to twenty years ago, and it's

134
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:41.600
called Bigfoot and Beyond. And since
then, as you probably know, Cliff

135
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.759
Berckman has got a radio show by
the same name. YEP. I think

136
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.200
I could use this name no matter
what, even if I change had to

137
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.840
change one word or something. But
I got a message, my daughter got

138
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.440
a message to him that about it. I was concerned about it, and

139
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.120
he said, he said he thanked
me for at least considering him before I

140
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.879
did put a book out with that
top. I just would like to clear

141
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.840
that up that I'm id like to
be original and I want to use that

142
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.039
name my plan and I'm using that
name. But I just don't want anybody

143
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.559
to think I'm not that I'm copying
up somebody else for a title. That's

144
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.639
all. But anyway, the book, it's actually two books in one Bigfoot.

145
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.720
That's of course about big books and
all. The book is mostly about

146
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:37.120
my own experiences. It's not about
other reports and stuff. I have a

147
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.480
few reports in their interviews I've done
with people, but for the most part

148
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.799
is my experiences in my life with
the weird and the unusual and stuff.

149
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.759
So the first book is Bigfoot,
and then Beyond is a lot of crazy

150
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.320
sounding stuff or experiences that I had
from ghostly activity, flying saucers, and

151
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.919
too much. I don't want to
get too I feel funny. I s

152
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.559
why I've never printed this because it's
book, because it's it's just too much.

153
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.039
It sounds crazy. If you take
one phenomena, that's one thing.

154
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:20.600
But if you take a dozen or
more experiences with separate categories of unusual phenomena,

155
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:26.120
it starts sounding you get a lose
screw. That's why I never wanted

156
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.000
to do it. But I'm going
to do it anyway. I don't care.

157
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.159
I'm getting older and probably only a
year or two before they can mock

158
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.960
me anyway. Oh right, you
gotta do it. That's going to be

159
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.480
a fantastic book. I'm excited to
read it once you release it, for

160
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.799
sure. Yeah. It's got my
uh my involvement, and I spend a

161
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.840
lot of time in Southwest Arkansas.
Doock monster. I've got a lot of

162
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.960
stuff on that and my relationship that
I had with Smoky Crabtree and then the

163
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.399
Honey on the swat monster. I've
done some pretty good research I think on

164
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:07.480
that, and I personally I know
that mainstream bigfooters they don't get much credibility

165
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:13.279
or any two three toed type of
bipeds, so that it's interesting. I've

166
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.799
had a few arguments and checks off
a few scientists, some of them are

167
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.960
friends with me out there with One
of my biggest screen of matches was with

168
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:28.480
Richard Greenwell of the International Society of
tipt Asology. Were coming out of the

169
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:35.720
swamp areas there and Honey Island swamp. But I Louisiana, and I thought

170
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.960
we we did some good interviews,
got a lot of good information at the

171
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.679
family. There was no reason to
think that anybody was taking anything be course

172
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.679
being scientific minded. It's one of
the biggest yelling matches we've had and a

173
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.720
lot of years of being together.
In fact, we only had two and

174
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.039
that was one of them. Over
that because primates do have three toes.

175
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.960
Any scientis that I got enough on
it, I think that it should it

176
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.960
brings it up at the table.
Yes, that there's credibility. They do

177
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.440
exist. So I got a lot
of stuff on that, and then the

178
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.720
weird stuff I'm not shared with.
I don't know how much time. I

179
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.399
don't want to take too much time
to pluck these guys out. God,

180
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:26.200
there's so much stuff in there.
It's unbelievable. I actually saw the silver

181
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.320
Chord, and that's the chord that
I didn't know anything about it. I

182
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.480
didn't know that anybody seen this or
there was a history on it at its

183
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.919
time. It was in nineteen seventy
two. I've seen the chord that goes

184
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:45.279
out from your abam and or your
center around your heart or whatever, and

185
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.799
it goes off into another dimension.
I've seen that and without knowing what it

186
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.399
was. That's an interesting story on
that. And I've had voices, which

187
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.600
is indicative of mental illness worse,
but I've had voices tell me things that

188
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.879
were going to happen in the future. Even told me once that I whispered

189
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.840
in my right ear that I was
going to meet George Harrison, which I

190
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.799
did about six weeks later. I
was witnessed by my wife. By the

191
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.200
way, another one that was witnessed
with a voice thing was that I had

192
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.320
a brother, and nobody in the
family knew about it, and that's the

193
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.080
story. Ended up having a brother. Nobody knew about my dad except my

194
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.639
dad. Nobody ever said anything,
and there was reasons for that beyond his

195
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.519
control. And he ended up being
the pall bearer first Dad. He'd been

196
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.759
looking for forty years, but the
voice told me about him a year before

197
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.200
anybody knew about him, including me. And they saved my butt from the

198
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.919
sheriff's department that was coming to get
me one time because I called the police

199
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.440
and myself called the dischirt attorney's office
accidentally and I was in another state and

200
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.600
they got a warrant and then coming
there for me, and the voice told

201
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.919
me go now, And I only
got about a block, two blocks maybe

202
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.240
at the most. They have sharriffs
are on their way and their eye me

203
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.039
over two big, burly, ugly
looking shaffs deputies. I have nothing against

204
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.720
law enforcement. I love law enforcements. Arms are good guys. But yeah,

205
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.159
they were on the way to get
me. If I'd have waited five

206
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.679
or seconds, ten seconds, I
would have been in the whoscal So they

207
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.039
made me there. Yeah, true, And there's several other incidences too.

208
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.840
Where they help me. But I
yeah, I could talk about the book

209
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.039
here for a long time, so
that will give you a little bit of

210
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.360
an introductor. It actually gets crazier
and that I love talking to you so

211
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.000
much. So if listeners are like, why aren't you talking to Ronnie forever?

212
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.759
Because I have talked to Ronnie,
guys, there's another episode that you

213
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.720
have to listen to with me and
Ronnie and it will just rock your face

214
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.720
off. So I'm going to have
that in show notes. But I do

215
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:02.000
also I am going to talk to
Priscilla and Steve tonight. We got this

216
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.319
is a three ring circus for sure. Yeah, so I want to send

217
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:11.279
you some stuff later on, some
inserts or maybe a chapter or something or

218
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.200
whatever you book think. But all
these experiences I've had, I've been close

219
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.400
up and personal. Three spaceships I've
seen. Two of the classics were the

220
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.680
classic saucers or was it in a
daytime? Up close, I could see

221
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:33.519
every little mark on it and metallic
saucer daytime. The second one was nighttime,

222
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.200
in the middle of the night in
my right, which is not into

223
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.880
any of this stuff, we had
a flying saus to come in directly overhead

224
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:47.519
and stopped and it was silent the
whole time and put a light and so

225
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.440
there's stuff like that, and it
just sounds too much for one person to

226
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.519
have all these experiences. But yeah, let's touch on that later on.

227
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.440
Right now, I mix all this
stuff. This is Bigfoot. That's bad

228
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.720
enough. Right, So over that, let me lead into this story with

229
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:11.400
yes, sir, yes, sir. About two weeks before Steven's siding what

230
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.000
she'll tell you about. But he
told me because I was talking about the

231
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:18.960
butt and this is like the ten
to fifteen years ago whatever it was.

232
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.400
It was two thousand and eight,
two thousand and eight, and he said

233
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.279
that I'll probably see big before you
do. And within two weeks he did,

234
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.880
and they said he did. I
didn't believe my daughter. She turned.

235
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.200
It was eight thirty in the morning, and she hollered out from revenge,

236
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.400
said dad, Steve Jessine Bigfoot.
She was on the phone with him,

237
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.240
and I said, yeah, telling
him that, I said hello,

238
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:53.799
and she said, he said you
would say that. So anyway, here

239
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.079
you go, you guys, you
want to tell him about the story.

240
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.640
Yeah, where does he go?
First? In that conversation, I told

241
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:10.799
him that Bigfoot's not crazy? He's
crazy any rate. The j let me

242
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.480
just said, I know the exact
word. I said, all this time,

243
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.720
I've been telling you. I said, Now they're there, aren't that?

244
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.400
He said, Yeah, It just
because Bigfoot exists doesn't mean still doesn't

245
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:25.759
mean you're not crazy. That's what
all right? Yeah. In November of

246
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:32.559
two thousand and eight, I was
in the nighttime academy for Reserve Police,

247
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:37.480
and I was working a day job
driving a dump truck for a logging outfit

248
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.880
up in on Alaska, Washington,
and my sighting was like so many.

249
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:47.160
I was driving down this road like
I had done a hundred times, and

250
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.599
all of a sudden, there it
was, and just as fast as it

251
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.559
was there, it was gone.
It was really just a flash, and

252
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.359
I would have almost thought that my
eyes were playing tricks on me, except

253
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.759
that I had a CB in the
jump truck, and I could hear two

254
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:08.079
hunters that I didn't know. I
was getting reception on my CB from their

255
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.400
handheld walkie talkies or whatever they were
talking on, and one of them says

256
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.799
to the other one, did you
just see what I just saw? And

257
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.720
the other guy says, calls back
and says, I think I just saw

258
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.880
Bigfoot and he goes and then the
other guy says, I think I did

259
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:23.759
too, And I'm like, oh, man, I did see it.

260
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.400
I get a hold of my wife
and I go I told her what happened.

261
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.680
I'm like, I can't be Ronnie
Roseman's son in law and see Bigfoot.

262
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:37.119
They're gonna think it runs in the
family. Whether that's really just the

263
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.119
gist of that story. And it
was just for a second, I really

264
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.799
couldn't make out any features. It
was backlit. I saw a silhouette.

265
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:52.559
It was incredibly fast. Yeah,
there's no way, there's no way.

266
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.839
It was definitely not a man in
a suit. No human being moves that

267
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.799
fast, and where it was at
would not be where you would try to

268
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:07.480
prank somebody. And then am I
leaving anything out? Yeah, I'm a

269
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.440
terrible He's gonna tell hey, Steve, I'm gonna ask you some questions real

270
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.400
quick before we let Ronnie jump in. So this is a really unique story

271
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.839
because I've never heard one where the
main thing that made you think you saw

272
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:32.119
Bigfoot was hearing people through your radio
walkie talking like that's incredible. Was there

273
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:37.480
anything from the blur that you saw
that made you think outside of that,

274
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.359
Hey, this is probably bigfoot what
I'm seeing, or is it just all

275
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.720
really blurred together. No, it
was absolutely startling, Absolutely a silhouette.

276
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.440
And I was just scanning, and
I looked past it and then immediately looked

277
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.599
back where I had just seen it. It was It's very startling. And

278
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.119
then it was, you know,
a few seconds later when I heard the

279
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.160
CB transmission, So I thought,
did I just really see that? And

280
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.559
then I heard the radio transmission,
which let me know that, yeah,

281
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.039
I did. I wasn't the only
one that saw it, didn't you say

282
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.720
that you felt like pray? It
felt a lot like being in the presence

283
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.160
of an African lion. It was
that startling if you're just trapesing along here

284
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.519
and we're in Oregon now, but
if you would have just been walking around

285
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.559
in the woods where you live and
all of a sudden, there's a lion

286
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.440
there. I thought, maybe I
don't know what they eat, might be

287
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.839
on the menu. This was in
on Alaska, Washington. It's about halfway

288
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:45.559
up the state okay of Washington,
probably terrible with mileage within fifty miles of

289
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.920
I five through Washington's You saw the
silhouette of it, did you remember any

290
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:57.119
specific details about the silhouette, noticing
any certain part of it look out of

291
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.839
the ordinary or anything with that.
Yeah, it looked really skinny to me.

292
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.640
It didn't look as it wasn't the
big like Patterson film type of creature

293
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.400
is very skinny my initial at the
time, I don't know, but like

294
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.200
when I picture it in my head
right now, it's very a rangutang.

295
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.880
I get that a lot. What
were the certain things that made you choose

296
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.519
that word rang a tang? Like
its arm seemed skinny, and I could

297
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:32.519
tell where the forearm and the biceps
started. Kind of think like when you

298
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.880
look at a ranguting, their joints
are very I guess then compared to the

299
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.559
rest of their limb. It had
that type of feature to it. Did

300
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.119
you notice anything weird or the ordinary
about the way that the animal was or

301
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.400
the let's say creature was moving other
than the speed. No, okay,

302
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.680
so it's extremely fast, is what
you're saying. Yeah, okay. Were

303
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.400
you able to notice anything about the
head shape of the creature at all?

304
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:08.519
That seemed very like almost no neck, very it's a blur. I don't

305
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:14.400
remember it having a neck. It
seemed like the general shape of what you

306
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.880
would think the drawings and stuff that
I've seen of Sasquatches, some of the

307
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.440
pictures and stuff are similar with S
Guinea. Very interesting. So it sounds

308
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.880
like the whole thing happened in probably
just a few seconds. Oh yeah,

309
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.640
yeah it was. When I say
it was fast, I didn't see the

310
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.759
gate of its walk or run or
anything. It was. I don't know

311
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.960
if you've ever seen trying to think
of a really fast animal when it gets

312
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.160
scared and bolts, and it's just
almost like it's just shot out of a

313
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.839
slingshot, just gone. You see
it, You see its initial where it

314
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.559
moves, and then it's just gone. And I don't where it was at.

315
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.960
I doubt I would be able to
walk through there. Well, certainly

316
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.799
I wouldn't be able to run.
Interesting. So at this point, if

317
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.119
anyone else has anything detail wise to
throw in, would the story go right

318
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.720
ahead? I'm right in all right, this is the rest of the story,

319
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:18.480
Okay, from what I remember now, that was at a thirty in

320
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.839
the morning when he called it in
to Priscilla to tell her, and which

321
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.599
I didn't believe it because he'd already
said to Is before he was going to

322
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:32.960
see one before me, which he
did. But from what I remember,

323
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.039
he came in at around five thirty
or so after work, and he had

324
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.960
two bottles of rum, and he's
never done that before, and he had

325
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.799
a very concerned look on his face. And I knew right away something he

326
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.119
had seen something, and he says, let's talk about Bigfoot. We talked

327
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:56.920
about big for about three hours.
He told me that he was going in

328
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.039
the woods with his dun truck and
to dump the debris of his truck.

329
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.200
He was returning an empty load and
at eight thirty, around eight thirty in

330
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.960
the morning, in between two trees, the sun was coming up in the

331
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.720
back, so he had like he
said, he'd see the silhouette of it

332
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:22.400
standing there for the morning light behind. And he said, it standing there,

333
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.440
and he says, just glaring at
him. He said, he looked

334
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.240
once, looked back. He figured
somebody with a helmet on a hard hat.

335
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.119
And he looked back and he knew
it wasn't a person. They weren't

336
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.960
supposed to be back in there anyway. And he said that it looked like

337
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.640
it was staring right through me.
And I asked him, I said,

338
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.759
did you get out and look for
tracks? Or anything after he had told

339
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.839
me because you looked back again or
when he heard the radio or I don't

340
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.160
know if it was before or after
the radio thing, but he said he

341
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.000
looked, and he said that's when
he's seen it move from where it was

342
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.480
standing like a gray streak. It
was very extremely fast, and I asked

343
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.640
him, I said, did you
get out and look around for tracks or

344
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.599
something? He says no. He
said that windows up and the doors locked,

345
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.920
and I was getting out of there, and he says, you know

346
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.000
me. He said, if it
had been a beer, I'd went over

347
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.519
and looked for tracks, but he
said, not this. I said,

348
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.920
you felt like your life was threatened? And said yes, he felt like

349
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:25.160
his life could be in danger.
So it was intense to him. And

350
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.799
then he drove on out. But
I yeah, very believable, and he

351
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.720
was only about sixty feet. I
think from it he got to see the

352
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.240
whole outline and stuff. And I
remember him telling me because I had a

353
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:44.799
poster of a composite drawing based on
lind Crabs trees exciting when he was thirteen

354
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.279
years old at the falk Monster.
And it's a lot slimmer than the bulky

355
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:56.680
bigfoot tight and I remember Steve saying, did it resembled that poster more than

356
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.680
it did the Patterson creature? Sped
all I got to say with it,

357
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.400
Wow, did Steve you agree with
everything? Ronnie just said there, Yeah,

358
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.680
that so accurate, I said.
He sometimes he embellishes and likes to

359
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.519
say that I was shaking and scared
and that I was not. I and

360
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.200
I'm glad he didn't do it.
I was, yeah, you did it.

361
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:26.319
I was like, man guy,
a man cot funny. So I

362
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.480
when I said I seen him shake
and when he had the two bottles around

363
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.799
when he came in the door.
He didn't appreciate that before, so I

364
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.960
wasn't gonna say that, but I'm
glad he did. Okay, you guys

365
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:41.640
are great. You guys are great. Thank you Ronnie for filling in the

366
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.920
extra details there. I appreciate that
anytime. We actually had a better sighting

367
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.359
that I didn't see. Me and
Priscilla were together when she saw one.

368
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:59.400
And there's a funny circumstance. So
it was about five years ago and we

369
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.960
were heading to Springfield from oak Ridge, and we were on the Jasper Road,

370
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.960
and when we got to the Jasper
Mill, I was just staring at

371
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:15.640
the window, and I seen it
running on the side of the mountain behind

372
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:23.240
Jasper Mill and I watched it for
ten seconds, and I didn't say anything

373
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:30.039
because I was trying to compute what
I was seeing. Well, she was

374
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.599
trying to compute what she was seeing. I was dodging cars that were stopping

375
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.400
on the road and getting out and
looking up at the hill. At what

376
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.960
she was looking at. It was
tall and it was slender. It was

377
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.680
like a marathon runner on flat ground, but it was on the side of

378
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.880
the mountain, and it was pure
black and it had short hair. I

379
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.359
know it had short hair. It
was like a Doberman's coat, but it

380
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:59.880
was tall and skinny. It wasn't
traditional big sasquatch. And then like after

381
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.039
ten seconds of watching this, and
then we go around the corner and I'm

382
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:08.279
like, I tell Steve, I'm
like, I think I just saw big

383
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.559
But first I said, I'd like
to thank you for saying something while it

384
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.640
was there, And so she didn't
even point it out to me. But

385
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.519
like I said, I had been
dodging. There was cars. All the

386
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.200
cars in front of us were stopping
and people were getting out and looking up

387
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.559
at the hillside. But the backstory
of that is the whole backside of that

388
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.640
of the hills there was all on
fire, and it was all with fire

389
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.079
crews back there, which would give
reason why it would choose a pass around

390
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:41.240
people because it couldn't be where it
would normally be. And I felt terrible

391
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.119
for not telling him as I watched
it for that long, but I was

392
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:52.079
honestly, like I think when shocked, like just trying to figure out what

393
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.200
I'm looking at. And then afterwards
you were like, no, it had

394
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.880
to be a person like in a
black spandex bodysuit or something. I must

395
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:03.200
have seen it wrong. And we
tried to climb up there to where she

396
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.440
saw it running. So I told
my dad and he got a hold of

397
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:12.039
Todd knees and todd niece came down
and we went up. So yeah,

398
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:17.960
we hiked up to where I saw
this thing. We almost lost Ronnie that

399
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.319
day. He started sliding down the
mountain and he grabbed onto a hornet's nest

400
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:26.279
to keep himself from falling off.
That was the first indication that my son

401
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.279
in law I might really care about
when it comes down to it, because

402
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.079
you come over and grabbed me before
I went over the edge and pulled me

403
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:37.880
up. That was pretty nice instinct. But it was such rough terrain you

404
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.960
could hardly stand there. Certainly nobody
could run there. Yeah, let me

405
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.559
add to that. We got up
there on the level of ground before the

406
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.839
grade, before it went up,
where the thing had crossed from one tree

407
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.039
line to another going up the grade
at what angle would that be? Forty

408
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:57.319
five degree? Yea when it was
running up in between the tree lines.

409
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:02.680
But on the level ground you had
to watch where you walk because there were

410
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.680
pot marks all over. Every two
inches or six inch or eight inches or

411
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:14.920
foot there was pot marks, and
with grass dry, grass brown, it's

412
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.079
just there's no way to run there. On the level ground you would have

413
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.799
without springing an ankle or possibly breaking
an ankle, So you would not do

414
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.200
that well. And the hillside is
so steep yet every two steps you lose

415
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.920
a step. Not only that there's
steep hillside, but the pock marks were

416
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.319
all over the hillside on top of
it. You couldn't run on level ground

417
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.960
like that, much less uphill with
those pot marks without springing an ankle.

418
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:50.440
Todd's thoughts on it, He thought
it was I'm sincere in that it was.

419
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:54.880
I describe what I see and there
was no way TODs of it.

420
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.799
There's no way that person be up
there. It was so rock and rath.

421
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:05.160
Not only that, when we were
getting close to the area, it

422
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.839
was already it was dusk when we
started out. By the time Todd got

423
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.519
the here, when it was straight
up and it was coming down in dark,

424
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.720
we had to wait to hike back
out too, and so we didn't

425
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.799
go right to where the thing had
crossed to look it over. It was

426
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.680
getting dark. We decided to go
back, so didn't get to the exact

427
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:28.039
area. We hadn't reached it yet, but we were close to it.

428
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:34.519
Those pot marks were all over everywhere
and where she had seen it. Yeah,

429
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:40.799
that's incredible. Did you were able
to ever get to that part where

430
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:49.559
the creature was and look for evidence
of footprints or broken branches, et cetera.

431
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.079
It's mostly rock there. Yeah,
we wouldn't. I don't think we'd

432
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.519
be able to get a footprint.
And the footprints that we made were when

433
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.519
you did encounter dirt, you were
slight, so I don't. I just

434
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:06.319
never went that. We just dropped
it at that, but we just didn't

435
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.920
failed up to we did have a
sighting here in Oakridge by a reserve officer.

436
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.519
You want to talk about that?
Oh yeah, you should talk about

437
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.679
real Sorry, real quick, Steve. One more question about the previous one.

438
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.559
When you were dodging people that were
pulled over, was anyone taking pictures

439
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:30.639
didn't notice? Okay, no problem. There was three cars pulled over at

440
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:36.239
the bridge that or the train bridge
that is right there past the Jasper Milk.

441
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:42.199
There's three cars pulled over and there
is probably what eight or ten people

442
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.000
out of their cars looking over where
I had just seen it. But it

443
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.239
wasn't obvious at first. There was
so much going on. There's this little

444
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:54.239
right where this was happening. The
road does like an s swerve and goes

445
00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.000
underneath a railroad trestle, and the
cars that were stop. We're just on

446
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.360
the east side of the railroad trestle, just before the road takes a sharp

447
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:08.199
curve to go under it. And
there was a giant vulture taking off from

448
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.039
the guard rail, and there was
a dead deer and I thought somebody hit

449
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.719
a deer, is what I thought
happened. I thought that's why everybody was

450
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:20.360
stopped. And then it became obvious
that that deer had not been hit recently,

451
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.079
as indicated by the Vulture. There
was a lot going on, and

452
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.559
I didn't notice if anybody had a
camera or not. All right, thank

453
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.039
you, yeah, to go right
ahead. Feel free to share what you

454
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:37.280
can about the other siting you were
referring to. I'm a retired Oakridge police

455
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:43.800
officer and we had a reserve officer. It was with our department. He

456
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.360
comes. I was on a day
off and he comes over to my house

457
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:50.679
and he says, he goes,
hey, I need your help. And

458
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:54.039
he looked something was really wrong,
and I said, yeah, what's up?

459
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.519
He says, I was cutting wood
up on the nineteen twelve road,

460
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.880
which the four service was just a
dirt road, and he said, I

461
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.519
all of a sudden, I had
this overwhelming feeling that I was being watched

462
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.119
because I turned around and there was
a sasquatch down in there. And he

463
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.119
looked so angry. He said,
I dropped everything, jumped in my truck

464
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:16.840
and left. I said, so, what do you need? He says,

465
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.480
can we get some people and some
guns and go up there and get

466
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.519
my brand new chainsaw its sitting in
the road. So we packed everybody up

467
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.039
and we went up there. It
was nighttime by this time, and we

468
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.719
went up there to where he had
been and there was this brand new Husky

469
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:36.559
Varna chainsaw sitting in the road.
Just like you said. He dropped everything

470
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.559
and left, and it was dark. We didn't get an opportunity to look

471
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.480
for footprints too much. We were
looking in the headlights. And that funny

472
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.440
thing is my daughter had come with
us, and she had a how old

473
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:53.519
was at the time. She was
just talking two and a half and while

474
00:36:53.519 --> 00:37:00.400
we were looking for footprints, she
was just babbling along talking two and a

475
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:01.920
half year olds too, And all
of a sudden she looks up the hindo

476
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:07.599
and she says, monkey. Oh, she saw something she thinks is a

477
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.239
monkey. So we don't know.
We don't know if she saw anything or

478
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:15.119
not. But I know that this
guy we've I've known this guy a long

479
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:21.519
time. He's a police officer.
He's not afraid of things, and something

480
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.239
scared him enough that he left all
of his tools up there and came straight

481
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:30.000
down. There's no reason for your
daughter to have said monkey, except for

482
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:37.320
if she saw something that looked like
a monkey. That's incredible. She's incredibly

483
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:43.719
smart too, and her sighting means
more to me than some adults. Is

484
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:49.119
that the one that he said that
the guy called in I left his equipment

485
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.320
there and said that thing was you
bank on about fifteen to twenty p Friman

486
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:57.039
cocked his head. Yes, let
me let me fill in and if you

487
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.840
don't mind on that, let's go
right. Yeah. I didn't know anything

488
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.039
about it. It was late at
night. I was sleeping. Nashley.

489
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.000
Late at night is like seven.
That's all people. That's the same thing.

490
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:13.719
But anyway, Steve came in,
he was still on duty, and

491
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.920
he says, we just checked out
there's this bigfoot sighting or whatever, and

492
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.039
thought I should get up and run
out in the middle of the night or

493
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.639
whatever start looking for big That's a
different one. Oh, it's a different

494
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.519
one. I thought it was different. Okay, Well, Steve has encountered

495
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:37.880
a lot of reports being a police
officer, and they don't we don't.

496
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.599
We don't take a report on it
because we only take We only took reports

497
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.079
on things that we're going to go
to the district attorney and there's no crime

498
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.159
committed. If you see a big
foot, we would I've worked for departments

499
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.719
where we would have taken log notes
about it. This is not one of

500
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.000
those departments where we would take log
notes about it. Okay, so no

501
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:58.960
log notes. It's just whatever is
in your memory. That's the only record.

502
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:04.159
Yeah. Wow. Oh so since
I'm on it and I brought that

503
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.760
other story in, I might as
well finish that one. I thought it

504
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.119
was when he said chainsaw and all
that stuff. In fact, while I

505
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.360
was listening, and I thought he
was leaving me out on something because I

506
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.639
didn't remember those details like that.
But anyway, it's a different story,

507
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.280
that's why. But the reason I
thought it was is because this fellow who

508
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:27.199
called in the police, he was
so scared he actually called the police department

509
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:32.800
and he left his chainsaw and everything
too. But Steve came in about eleven

510
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.840
o'clock at ninety in Transis. They
just got a call in and a bigfoot

511
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.840
sighting and water. And I thought, just tell me about it tomorrow,

512
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.880
because I know, going out it'd
be tough to find evidence and everything in

513
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.440
the daytime, much less at night, and I don't even know where I'm

514
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:53.079
going. But he took his patrol
car, went out and showed me the

515
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:57.400
direction to go looking and look for
a big tree on the left and there's

516
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.679
like only ten thousand big trees.
But I so anyway, I did that

517
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.000
to make him happy, running around
for a little bit, and I came

518
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:08.920
back and went to bed. But
the guy had called in, and Steve

519
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:13.360
was, I happened to you got
to call a dispatch or something, didn't

520
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.679
you. I vaguely remember this story. Okay, I'll try to remember.

521
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.800
I'm trying to fill it in,
but I Steve got a call. He

522
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:24.039
was on duty. Anyway, he
was sent out or the guy was in

523
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:28.280
town. He came in from the
woods. He was cutting down trees.

524
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:31.280
We had some type of storm,
a lot of down trees. A lot

525
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:36.480
of people were cutting was up or
trees up, and it was this guy

526
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.960
was by himself. It was around
dusk. He had his pickup and his

527
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:45.599
tools and he was just sawing away
and he had a feeling something was up

528
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.519
looking at him, like a bigfoot. That's why I thought there's the same

529
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:53.639
story. But anyway, he said
he looked, and he said there was

530
00:40:53.679 --> 00:41:00.480
nobody around right where he was working, and he thought maybe some guys up

531
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.519
there. A lot of people do
that because I think the mind just doesn't

532
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:08.639
digest right away what you're looking at
you're looking at something it's not supposed to

533
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:14.039
be, so you always go to
the first thing that sounds normally. So

534
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:15.440
he thought it was a man.
He looked at winch cutting, and then

535
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:21.760
he looked back again and realized that
what he was looking at it was standing

536
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.599
there only fifteen feet from me,
up a grade up and think a little

537
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:28.840
bit about it. And it was
standing there staring at him, and he

538
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.280
covered with hair, and he's just
staring at him. He said. He

539
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:37.400
stood up, and he said he
cocked his head, and he says,

540
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.039
this thing did the same exact thing, like maybe mimicking him or mocking him,

541
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.519
I don't know, but he said
it cocked his head just like he

542
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.639
did, staring at him. And
that was it that put the fear of

543
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:52.920
God in here with Jesus sitting in
there. And he said he'd jumped in

544
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:57.599
the pickup, left all his tools
and everything, and try tailed it out

545
00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:59.840
of there and was dart by the
time he got out what he called the

546
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:07.000
And so Steve Manning talked to him, and the next night Steve had him

547
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:12.599
over at the house and he brought
two kids with him and we talked about

548
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:19.039
big for a few hours. And
he that he made it clear that he

549
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.559
did he wanted to remain anonymous.
So many in this town and so many

550
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.199
reports I've got here, people do
not want it out. They have to

551
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.800
live here, they have the business
and all of that, and so we

552
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:36.039
got to hear the story person.
And I've never seen him again, but

553
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.800
he was an interesting story. He
did not want publicity and he actually was

554
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:43.239
so afraid he call the police.
So I thought that was pretty impressive.

555
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.679
Priscilla, do you mind. I
want to make sure that we are able

556
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:52.920
to talk about the Sasquatch Summer Fest
that's coming up next year. Yes,

557
00:42:53.079 --> 00:43:01.480
July four, Okay, we'll talk
about. Yes. Speakers are the Todd

558
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:09.440
niece and David Sheeley, he has
the Skunky headquarters in Florida. And Christie

559
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:16.000
Sanders, she used to do the
information for BFRO and log alf the sightings

560
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:22.119
and just all the data analysis.
And Cliff Barrackman. I just got him

561
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:30.159
booked from Finding big Foot, and
I have Jill Remen Schnyder and Brett i

562
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:35.360
can Bocher, the directors and producers
of Flash of Beauty big Foot revealed.

563
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:39.480
So we're gonna have movies in the
park. And they're gonna play both documentaries

564
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:45.199
on Friday and also on Saturday,
and people can stay the night in the

565
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:50.800
park because I'm running out the whole
park, Greenwaters Park and Oakridge organ and

566
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:55.159
there's an amphitheater there. And then
on Sunday, we're gonna have guest speakers

567
00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.280
on a panel so people can have
questions and answers, and we're gonna have

568
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:07.320
a beer garden and live music,
and we're also going to have So I

569
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:15.639
have this disc of Bigfoot sounds of
what would you say, twenty different sounds.

570
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:20.440
Oh, yeah, so I'm going
to I'm going to have that on

571
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.639
the oak Ridge organ is known for
the it's the mountain bike capital of the

572
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:28.000
Pacific Northwest. Oh I didn't know
that. That's cool. Yeah, So

573
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:32.880
we'd have bike trails everywhere, and
Greenwaters Park has a bike trail, and

574
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.480
the city administrator is going to light
up the bike trail and set it up

575
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:44.840
to where we have the Bigfoot sounds, so people can go on a little

576
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.599
it's like a half mile or maybe
a quarter mile excursion to where they can

577
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.079
hear the big Foot sounds and it'll
be a lot of fun. What are

578
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:59.320
the chances that the Sierra Sounds are
going to bring something. And I'm serious,

579
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.400
do you play the seris and stuff
happens. So now that you say

580
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:09.360
that the back of the park is
La Duke Road, and La Duke Road

581
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:15.800
has had so many big put sightings, Oh yes, yeah, so who

582
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:22.079
knows what it's going to bring in. And I'm going to have personal testimonials

583
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:28.880
of people's stories and experiences and their
sightings, and so I'm gathering those stories

584
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.119
and a lot of them are on
the Duke Road, well, just on

585
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.280
the back of the park. This
is news to me. I didn't know

586
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:38.599
she was going to be playing those
sounds anywhere, but w playing it without

587
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:43.559
me. I think I told you
the last time I got me in trouble

588
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:46.480
with these things, they were coming
in our Campsit's on me and Dwayne.

589
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:52.239
But there was nothing threatening. They
didn't do anything. Through few rocks in

590
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.719
the morning when we got a dike
out or something, but I hit some

591
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:59.079
trees or whatever something like that.
It was subtle. But when we had

592
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:05.840
first had her bad experience that night, it was because I had I can't

593
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:09.880
do it justice at all. But
about the third sound in run More Heads

594
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:14.639
tapes, I believe it is.
It's right on with what I heard in

595
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.800
the sisk Us in ninety nine next
to my tent, so me and Duayne

596
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:22.760
Ergomer sounds that he had heard in
the forty years he'd been hunting this area,

597
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.880
and I come up with that one
that I was trying to immit our

598
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:36.000
later well exactly, yeah, So
I did that and it wasn't twenty minutes.

599
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:40.119
This group of freaking creatures which bigfoot, but I don't even like using

600
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:45.840
that term chilly Disneyland, but that's
what we got. But anyway, whole

601
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.000
family and at least by we're hit
it our way about them all away and

602
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.239
getting louder and louder, letting us
know they were coming. That's when we

603
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:58.760
were tormented for over two hours with
them right behind our tent, one of

604
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.480
them almost paraging the tent, coming
up quick and then going back. Went

605
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:07.000
for two hours because of that sounds. I'm not going to be out there

606
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.119
with any crazy host I know.
No. I was thinking. I was

607
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:14.000
like, there's no way Ronnie's going
to be out there with the Sierra sounds.

608
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.280
After what happens, Hey, I
did any idea what we went through

609
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:20.719
there, I guarantee you they wouldn't
either. So if that little story that

610
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:27.400
Ronnie shared sounds awesome, listen to
the first Ronnie interview because that story takes

611
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:31.039
about an hour to share and it's
incredible. But Priscilla, back to the

612
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:36.639
festival. You're going to be playing
the Sierra Sounds the night before the second

613
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.400
day. Are people going to be
able to to tent camp in that same

614
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:45.800
park? Yes, yes, they
can have overnight camping. They can bring

615
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:50.880
their own tent. It's twenty five
dollars to stay in the park. And

616
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:55.079
we're going to have campfire stories,
live testimonials of people who have had their

617
00:47:55.679 --> 00:48:04.199
fightings here in Oakridge Little up anyway, and I have a whole group of

618
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:08.880
testimonials of people who want to remain
anonymous, and I'm like, I really

619
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.280
wish that they would tell her own
story, but I guess that I'm going

620
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:15.960
to have to tell it for him. Wow, that's awesome. Yeah,

621
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:20.159
there's been so many sightings hereon Okra
Oh, there's so many. We've been

622
00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:22.320
here ten years, and of course
I got to get the word out.

623
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:27.880
And the people they're pretty good art
and not trying to be mean, but

624
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:31.119
they sure get a laugh when they
see me coming I get this stuff even

625
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:35.360
from the neighbors and stuff. Hey, I've just seen a fourteen big foot

626
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.199
the other day. Gotta let me
know when you see that stuff, So

627
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:44.960
I get out there and check it
out exactly who has had his encounter with

628
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:50.599
bigfoot. So I'm gonna I'm gonna
have my husband complete this story because he's

629
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:57.000
better explaining things and me, and
he's a friend of ours, and he's

630
00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.400
a hunting guide and stuff. So
they use here if there's a problem lion

631
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:05.920
or a problem things like that.
I mean, this guy, he really

632
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:12.960
knows what he's doing. They the
government contracts him to treat animals, what

633
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:17.960
bear and mountain lions and stuff.
But I'll let you finish his encounter with

634
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:24.599
big when his dogs stopped dead in
their tracks because they were scared. He's

635
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:28.519
had two of those. There's one
that he there's one that he told us

636
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.960
right away where he was in an
area up here. I'd give you road

637
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.599
names and stuff, but that won't
probably matter. The area is called that's

638
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.119
black Cat or not black it's up
there by the Yeah, I think I

639
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:47.039
think the area is called black Any
he was, he there's this four service

640
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:52.000
road where he runs his hound dogs, because when you're running a pack of

641
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:55.679
hound dogs, a leash probably isn't
a good idea because they'll drag you away.

642
00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:01.199
And his dogs are not afraid of
anything, and that's what they that's

643
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:06.320
what they do. They chase mountain
lions and bears and stuff. And all

644
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:09.079
of a sudden, his dogs stopped, and there was nighttime. The dogs

645
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:15.719
stopped and wouldn't go any further.
So he went up to see what they

646
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.079
saw, because he thought maybe they
were on a bear or something. But

647
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.719
it was weird that they stopped,
and he put his headlights off into the

648
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:30.039
tree line where the dogs were barking
and growling at and he says that he

649
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:37.760
saw a sasquatch there and that it
screamed at him. But the scream was,

650
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:44.280
the way he describes it was in
his head, and so I thought

651
00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:49.800
that was an interesting statement. So
we looked into it, and it seems

652
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:54.199
comparable to something that I've heard that
lions do, where they use like a

653
00:50:54.239 --> 00:51:01.239
low frequency growl, where it's almost
like the sound is happening in your head.

654
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:06.079
But I don't have any experience with
that, and it's not my story,

655
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:10.360
but he's definitely freaked out about it. In this area. We were

656
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:15.440
there bear hunting, and I told
him about this big bear that we had

657
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.079
seen, and he's a guide for
bear hunts, and he didn't care.

658
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:23.039
He doesn't go there. Even if
a client wants him to go there,

659
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:28.119
he doesn't go there. And I
thought that was pretty interesting, because that's

660
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.360
putting your money where your mouth is. I might add on to that a

661
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:36.760
little bit, all right. I
knew this fella. I did, in

662
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:42.119
fact, when the kids here got
to knowing a little bit and through family

663
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.599
and stuff or whoever. But I
actually knew him at least a year before.

664
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:52.000
He's one of the several people that
got me on the side and told

665
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:58.079
me about some of his bigfoot experiences, which is great when you get a

666
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:04.840
bit of a name into something like
that. Of the people think it's ridiculous,

667
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:07.800
or you're silly, or that they
have fun with it. I was

668
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:13.480
saying. But the good thing about
that the people that had experiences that don't

669
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:17.800
want to tell anybody that they really
want to tell someone. They have somebody

670
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:22.800
like me if they think they can
trust me, and they tell me their

671
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:25.960
stories, but they want to remain
anonymous. This fellow was when I got

672
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:30.360
to know earlier I did that.
I heard about me and talking on the

673
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:36.960
side and he's legit game guide and
all of that. And he told me

674
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:40.519
the areas he went into these big
tracks all the time, and he said

675
00:52:40.519 --> 00:52:45.199
that he was afraid, but that's
his job and he didn't want it out

676
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:51.840
because he could lose his clients and
stop if they think his business. That's

677
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:55.519
one reason. He said, you've
seen them all the time, or not

678
00:52:55.519 --> 00:53:00.760
not every day, but he's seen
them regularly. Tracks in this God take

679
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:05.800
people back in. And he said
when he went in, he sometimes very

680
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.480
believed a lot of times mentally he
would say, I'm not here to bother

681
00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:13.760
you, I'm not here for you. He's leave me alone. And it

682
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.840
worked for a long time until this
time that I happened with Rod. Steve

683
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:22.320
said he called me at one time
and before all of this getting together with

684
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:27.880
the family and told me that he
had seen tracks this one day and had

685
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:30.639
little tracks with it. So that
was interesting. But yeah, the guy

686
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:36.960
is credible. I've been to his
health. He's credited on hunts Or and

687
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:39.880
himself. I think two hundred and
sixty over two hundred and sixty Bear,

688
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:45.679
I think it is. He's killed
so he's experience hunter, professional hunter,

689
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:47.960
and he's not a guy to make
up stuff, and he does not want

690
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:52.280
his name identify with us out there. So that's just one of many.

691
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:57.960
But that's interesting. Okay, anybody
else or I can continue. I know,

692
00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.440
Ronnie, you're the best man.
I don't know how much I need

693
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:07.400
that. You're a rocking dude.
Priscilla. I'm serious when I say I

694
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:12.400
looked at your event before, but
hearing you talk about it like this is

695
00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:15.639
going to be deed and I'm going
to get so many people mad. I

696
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:20.159
don't care, but this is I'm
going to say it's probably going to be

697
00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:23.079
the number one Bigfoot event of twenty
twenty four, like the Sleeper event that

698
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:29.519
people like they're going to not go
to the first one and in future years

699
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.599
they're going to be like I wish
I had gone to the first one,

700
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:37.079
but I didn't know about it.
Like seriously, it's oh, it sounds

701
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:40.559
incredible. And out there. I'm
working on my my marketing. I just

702
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:47.880
got my swag all done and my
logos, and I'm in Lane County Events

703
00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:55.000
and Eugene Cascades and Coast for Lane
County in the Oregon and Cliff Brackman is

704
00:54:55.000 --> 00:55:00.639
going to be promoting it, and
David Sheeley with out of four to all

705
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:06.719
day alligated, Dave, you know
where I'm at him. We can tell

706
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:12.239
that stuff. But I've got incredible
speakers, I've got great people, and

707
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:16.559
I'm really hoping that it's a successful
event. And the city administrator is so

708
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:22.079
happy about this. I mean,
he's helping me every way he can to

709
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.079
help promote it. It's gonna be
amazing. I'm excited that you guys are

710
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:30.119
doing this and I can't wait see
what happens. So with Greenwater's Park,

711
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:38.679
it's it's gonna be like no other
Bigfoot festival or convention because people can stay

712
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:45.159
there for three days and camp in
the park and be there one on one

713
00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:50.559
with the speakers and talk to them
and see them. And it's not the

714
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:54.480
private conference where you pay for dinner
and then have the festival. It's like

715
00:55:54.599 --> 00:56:00.280
it's all in one. Yeah,
that's the unique thing about Greenwater's Park said,

716
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:05.159
we can have it all together.
When she was trying to come up

717
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:07.119
with how am I going to do
this? I said, why don't you

718
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:09.679
just throw the party that you want
to be invited to? Absolutely, that's

719
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:15.280
so cool man. Okay, Brian, Yes, tracked up here. All

720
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:20.719
this stuff happening. Steve with his
big foot second named my daughter, and

721
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.920
I haven't seen one yet. I've
had him close enough to me you want

722
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:28.599
to kill me and tear me apart
or act like it, And I haven't

723
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.960
seen one. Anyway, they've seen
it. Not only that. I've always

724
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.599
talked about the flying saucers, the
ghost. I've got a whole history of

725
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:43.000
that kind of stuff and the flying
saucers and other things. Now they have

726
00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:50.840
the witness bigfoot thing. They that
ghostly activity here. Steve and my my

727
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:55.840
wife who's been gone for a couple
of years now, they a ghost come

728
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:59.599
down the hall way. He was
walking nobody else in the house, went

729
00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:04.360
into my bedroom. They witnessed a
lot of things like on the paranormal stuff

730
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:10.159
there not too far back and said
in law Stevir and one of his daughters

731
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:16.480
and my grandkids Ashley, they were
heading in East Oregon and seeing a flying

732
00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:23.880
saucer sitting there seeing the dome.
Yeah, my granddaughter said that she thought

733
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:30.280
that they had a mirror image to
it and it just took it was vanishing

734
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:31.119
gone, but they got a good
look at it. The boat them,

735
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:35.840
so they got to go stuff and
everything. So it reminds me of something,

736
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:38.039
and I haven't said anything about it, but I'm going to do it

737
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:45.599
now. Fifteen twenty years ago,
before anybody had witnessed any unusual activity,

738
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:52.239
my son in law and thought,
we're over visiting some people having dinner,

739
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:57.519
and they said you, he said, They asked something about me. The

740
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:01.280
people did the friends he said,
oh, he believes in Bigfoot or whatever.

741
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:06.880
And the guy said, he said, I believe in the luck Ness

742
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:08.920
Monster. He said, yeah,
just believe in flying saucers. He said

743
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:15.239
yeah, and he said and then
he told Steve. He said, yeah,

744
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.320
we got one of them too.
But what do you think now?

745
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:22.320
You're in the group. You're in
the group of no return. I don't

746
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:25.519
recall, now, why would you? I know there's a lot of things

747
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:30.159
you don't. That's why. Hey, Ronnie, Ronnie, I got a

748
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:35.679
question for you. Have you,
and this is random, have you ever

749
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.440
researched Bigfoot and render your Oregon?
I don't do my research of anything.

750
00:58:40.079 --> 00:58:44.960
I don't care any time. My
own whatever in my heart leaves me in

751
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:50.000
my directions. The one man,
Yeah, have you ever been to Oregon?

752
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:54.440
No? I haven't. Okay.
We lived in long View and Ranier

753
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:58.880
is right across the bridge, but
I never went into the mountains to woodsir

754
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:05.880
Okay, So never did you ever
hear anything weird in the Did you ever

755
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.159
hear of anything weird up in the
woods in that area? I never was

756
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:13.679
in it woods much lost my time
in the bar there. Okay. I

757
00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:17.119
just want to are you talking about
the city of Renier, Oregon or are

758
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.519
you talking about mate mount this city
of Neer, Oregon. Yeah, yeah,

759
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:28.800
okay, we just lived across okay, coo cool. Just a random

760
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:34.320
thing. There's some really wild stuff
that has happened over the years in Renier,

761
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.400
Oregon. So I asked about it
every once in a while, but

762
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.320
I heard I heard of some of
them, yes, and very strange stuff.

763
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:45.400
Do you want to tell him about
the story of when we were camping

764
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:52.400
with all our babies Mount Saint Helens? Yeah, I don't bring that up.

765
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:55.559
That is before the siding or long
before. It was many years ago.

766
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:01.880
We my wife and I of daughters. They're all grown and have kids

767
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:06.760
now, but when they were little, we camped on the back side of

768
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:13.639
Mount Saint Helen's really remote on this
bluff that kind of overlooked scoop of meadows,

769
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:17.960
and we didn't know anything about that
at the time. We've sensed we've

770
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:22.400
since looked into things and went,
oh, okay, this is about twenty

771
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:29.079
years ago now right, Oh,
God is almost eighteen and he was only

772
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:36.199
three years old. Yeah, yes, been so fifteen fifteen years ago.

773
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:42.880
I I won't question your math.
That's not my that's not my d We

774
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:47.239
were in our tent. We had
we had gotten a very aggressive dog because

775
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:53.719
of I was just new try getting
into law enforcement, and yeah, we

776
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:58.280
ended up with a pit bull and
he was really aggressive. And we were

777
01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.639
camping and he was sleeping out by
the fire and we had the kids in

778
01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:06.000
the back of We had a Chevy
suburban and the kids were in the back

779
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:08.480
of the suburban and me and my
wife were in a tent. And this

780
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:14.320
dog, if he saw any living
creature, he was all over it.

781
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:16.559
And he would chase a gear to
the point where you'd wonder if you're ever

782
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:20.519
going to see your dog again.
He just never gave up the chase.

783
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:25.480
And we heard somebody running. It
sounded like on two legs to me,

784
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:32.760
somebody running down this trail that we
were camped at like a dirt The dirt

785
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.199
road that you had to four wheel
your way to get to it went nowhere.

786
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.079
Every we'd camped there for years,
we'd never seen anybody back there.

787
01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:46.000
We are like on our own little
cult to stack overlooking a canyon. And

788
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:52.800
our road to get to our culture
stack was like three miles in on a

789
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:58.519
for service road on the backside of
Mount Saint Helen. There was no traffic

790
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.039
at all, but whatever if there
was, we would hear it for five

791
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:06.800
ye you'd hear it for a long
wayst it was. We heard somebody running

792
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:13.840
down this road and ran around our
tent and it woke us up, and

793
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.199
then it ran off and we were
sitting there awake. My wife's asking,

794
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:22.280
did you hear that? And I
said, yeah. We sat there and

795
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:27.880
I thought about it for a second
and then but as when it was running

796
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.760
on two legs, you can tell
when something is on two legs. It

797
01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:36.480
was running down the road to our
tent, and I said, who's out

798
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:40.880
there? Because I was completely freaked
out because I knew that our kids,

799
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:45.480
they were all under the age of
six, and we have five, and

800
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:50.840
our pit bull is sitting on a
couch by the fire a couch. We

801
01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:52.840
took the third seat out of the
suburban set it next to the campfire,

802
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:57.480
and the dog was curled up on
that h So I'm like, I asked

803
01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:02.440
to see if you heard that,
and he said yeah. So I reluctantly

804
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:10.400
said, who's out there? And
it walked completely around our tent and then

805
01:03:10.519 --> 01:03:15.360
took off into the woods. And
our piple did not do anything at all

806
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:20.840
until about a minute later, which
it came over and started sniffing. And

807
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:24.159
that was our very first encounter.
We went through all the We went through

808
01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:28.559
all the normal stuff, like nobody
was out here running through the woods in

809
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:32.960
the middle of the night without a
flashlight, and any animal that would have

810
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:38.159
come into our camp, our dog
would have absolutely responded to it. He

811
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:44.039
was he hated other animals. He
was he had a very strong prey drive.

812
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:49.199
And also we were both adults and
we could tell there was on two

813
01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:53.119
legs, and our initial thought was
that it was a human. Later on

814
01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:58.559
we find out that Scuker Meadows is
known for that. Yeah, we had

815
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:00.679
no like, we were just trying
to get away from people. Now I

816
01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:06.440
don't know what I missed. Oh
and okay, so this is the craziest

817
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:13.639
thing is we didn't look for tracks. The next morning, oh wow,

818
01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:19.960
getting out our tent. But but
I was really excited to go home and

819
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:27.039
tell my dad about what just happened. And then did you look for tracks?

820
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:32.199
And then I just felt completely stupid
because it's like, I have no

821
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:36.239
idea why we didn't look for tracks. It was there's a weird there's a

822
01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:41.280
weird thing. Because after that we
in that area we had found tracks,

823
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:44.840
and we were like, you find
yourself doing the weirdest things. And the

824
01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:48.719
track came after that instant didn't.
Yeah, but you find yourself doing the

825
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:56.280
weirdest mental gymnastics. We'd be out
hiking in a really remote area back there

826
01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:01.000
behind Mount Saint Helens, and you
find footprint it's going up the side of

827
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:08.000
from a trail, going up a
very steep embankment, and you you'd measure

828
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:12.679
them and you go, oh god, they're only nine inches or however big

829
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.519
they are. It could be a
person. And then you're like, there

830
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:19.440
is nobody out here. Cross country
hiking barefooted is happening, But you start

831
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:25.400
doing these weird mental gymnastics even when
you're looking for I can't say you me

832
01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:31.400
even when I'm looking for evidence.
There's always that second guest. There no

833
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:35.159
that could be a human, and
there's no way that's a human, or

834
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:38.800
if it is, we need to
find them. Whind my dad for all

835
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:43.079
of this. Their mom, her
mom got up in the center after all

836
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:48.000
the activity with you and Bigfoot and
everything else, and she said, mit,

837
01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:53.199
team, he attracts all this stuff, right, so that ain't you

838
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:57.960
can't get him. It sounds it
sounds awesome to me for sure. Guys.
