He's a listener from Hawaii who've reached out, but he has many encounters from his time in the Pacific Northwest that he's going to share. So it's going to be an exciting show with lots of different things. But Seb, welcome to the show.

1:43 How's it going tonight? Hey, terrific, Thanks so much for having me on. Absolutely well, man, I'm excited to see where this one is going to go. I've seen a little bit from your sign up and it's going to get pretty wild. So step go ahead. I'm going to give you the floor, my friend, and take us back to where we need to be and what we need to know. Right on we'll do. Yeah. So all things Sasquatch I was. As a teenager, I was living up in Alaska and that was when I think I first started hearing about Sasquatch.

2:29 You know, from family members, people in the area who you know, well respected people. One of my teachers, amazing. Native man. It was incredible. Carver just just said here. I kept hearing things from and realizing, Okay, this is real, you know, so I just got a real strong interest in it. Back then, I always lived, ye my choice, well, by my parents' choice. Growing up kind of we lived pretty pretty out there in some pretty out there places, pretty remote places. And then as an adult, I just kind of continued that myself.

3:16 I love living close to nature. So, you know, in living in northeastern Washington in my twenties, I got to know a lot of people out there who had encounter experiences and just yeah, just knew it, knew it was real. For me, though my I didn't have any real encounters until probably about eight or nine years ago. Eight years ago, i'd guess, when I was living in outside of Eugene, Oregon, and uh, with the rise of like podcasts and everything, I had gotten really into listening to h Sasquatch Chronicles. I was just really enjoying hearing everyone's all these encounter stories and stuff. So I just really yeah, developed like really piqued my interest in looking more and more into Sasquatch stuff and h.

4:29 So my first encounter was when, just just for reference sake, I was living kind of in the woods. I built a yurt, which listeners and are familiar with what a yurt is. It's like it's kind of like a large hent home, very very thin walls, kind of like a canvas walls over a frame. So I was living in that and h and a three and three three o'clock in the morning. Uh, A sasquatch woke me up, stand right right outside my wall, right behind me. But what was interesting about this is I woke up from a dream where the sasquatch was reaching its arm.

5:18 Over my body. Like it just reached its arm through the tent fully over my whole body. And uh, and so I woke up just really startled. And kind of laid there for a flit second like, oh, that was a terrifying dream, you know. And uh and then it vocalized just really loud right behind my head, right on the other side of the tent wall. It vocalized kind of a like a. Wow, you know, just huge, huge sound. And yeah, when I when I like just to throw in there, like when I explained this to people before, it's kind of like if you heard elephant make it sound, you wouldn't think that it was like something smaller. You know, when a sound kind of communicates the size of something, especially I think that's true with the sasquatch, because I mean it was just a humongous sound. And when it did that, it, uh I got the mental communication of kind of translated, like my psyche just translated in a way like exactly what it was saying. And it was saying, here I am in this context with this like under this meaning

6:49 of like, uh you've been you've been wondering about us, You've been wondering about me, right, so here I am and uh so, yeah, I vocalize three times the same same sound, same thing, just a few seconds of breaking between each one, and and yeah. And then it could. I just heard it kind of walk away real quickly, and so that was my first thing. And man, that just blew the doors off for me. I mean, it just it makes it. It made it so real, you know. Uh yeah, I had already believed in this stuff, but it just like really made it real, especially with the kind of mental communication aspect of it.

7:43 It just uh yeah, it. Just kind of showed me that is they're on this other level, you know, it's like a. A psychic level. Like like. It's pretty profound. But that was my first encounter. I just knew that they're around my area, and uh, I had a couple more encounters right in that area where where you know, they'd be. Walking. I'd go out at night and you know, I want wanted to be walking by. I could hear them just making themselves. Really really well, really well known loudly breathing and breaking branches and stomping through and so yeah, it was kind of a had some cool experiences there. Started I started getting into uh kind of really seeking the stuff out more.

8:44 One of my best friends has a similar interest, real strong interests. So he and I uh did a. One really significant camping trip that we got incredible results. Was we went we went four wheeling. I had like. A toyle Land Cruisers just gotta go anywhere, So we went four wheeling up kind of the south side of Mount Adams in Washington State. It's like southern Washington State listeners, if they're familiar Mount Adams is like, there's a that's on the north side of that is where east or on the east side of that mountain range. Our mountain is the east SETI Ranch. There's like a lot of a whole lot of UFO phenomenon happens around there. People like going camp just because it's almost every night you can watch it. So we did see some of that for sure, but we were more in a really really area at the base of Mount Adams, really really.

10:04 Hard to get to. Unless you just have a super duper four wheel drive. So we got out there, brought tons of apples, camped out, and uh, we just had the amazing privilege of just getting totally surrounded by them, probably like. A family group. All night long, like from the second it got dark until four in the morning, and it was an amazing experience. We yeah, neither was really had any felt any fear or whatsoever. Did We didn't feel like we're being told to leave.

10:47 What it really felt like was that there was. The parents were there. So my friend and I both just as we communicated about all this afterward, and like a bit we communicated during the time it was happening, but all of our instincts about what each of us felt like and thought was happening were identical, So I definitely give that some credit. But it felt like there was a fan. There was like a mom and dad and and then their adolescent teenage or whatever. The younger ones that were really having fun yelling at us and doing all their different calls and and so it was just our experience was a lot like what the there's like a famous recording by a guy where he does all the he keeps calling back to them. You're familiar with what I'm talking about.

11:52 It's like an old recording. Is the sounds, yeah right, and he keeps calling, he keeps calling back to them. Yeah. So I mean that's like a lot of what we experienced that night was they would do some crazy call, we would do it back. You know, they would do something else. We would try to do that that call back, and it was like tons of fun. It was just it was just a lot of fun. And it went on for hours. And yeah, we brought we brought Here's a really interesting thing that happened that night was we brought about i'd say seven apples. We'd stopped at the store on the way there. We got about seven apples.

12:46 We picked these rocks. There was like this kind of a river a stream bank, and we picked these there's a big boulders, and so we balanced one apple on top of each boulder as kind of a gifting thing, right, and right when it got dark, even before we heard them make a call, we were like, just had a feeling, right, there's just a feeling in there. And so the get where we'd set those apples probably only like fifty fifty yards away from where we started or were starting our fire. So it's just getting dark and I was like, hey, and we'd only set the apples are like an hour before, half an hour before, right, so say, hey, let's just peek over there. So we peeked over there, and two of the apples were missing. Apples that we had set on certain rocks had been moved to be balanced on other rocks that we did not set them on. So that was like immediately it was really exciting. We just knew like we could you could tell, you know, they were there. Feeling was in there really strong, and so that's how it started. That was just a fantastic, fantastic night.

14:03 When we got up in the morning, uh, they had they had just they had left two apples behind. So it's kind of this feeling was like, oh, a one for each of us. So that was a really amazing experience. Uh, some of my other experiences you know, like one in particular that is really worthy of sharing does get a little bit, I think outside of the box of normality for for maybe a lot of listeners, and I'd have to kind of like lead into it with a little bit of explanation, and and that goes like this is that, you know, when I was. A teenager, my grandfather. Told me some things kind of opened my eyes to some things about his experiences with My grandfather had practiced and gotten been able to have out of body experiences.

14:54 Big for society, who will be right back after these messages. So he explained that to me when I was like fifteen years old, and so that really piqued my interest. I did this. I kind of followed in is I was so interested in you know that I got books on the subject, practiced, there's a lot of relaxation exercises trying to get to where I could do that too. As we have out about experiences, so I accomplish it. I've had a lot of them in my life for twenty five years now, and so I've met up with every deceased friend and relative that I've had that has passed away. It's very normal for me now and generally yeah, a great thing, great a respect of my life. But I did have an encounter where I met with three sasquatch while while I was outside of my body, and that was really phenomenal.

16:14 And we're sharing I I had left my body, and this was shortly after my my stepfather had had passed away. So I left my body one night, went outside and uh and my my stepfather walked up to me, and we had an amazing reunion. We talked, we hugged. It was really a beautiful thing to be reunited with him and and check in with him. And and so after that ended, he you know, he he had to leave, and I just continued on and.

16:59 Kind of went for a walk basically out of my body. And so I was kind of out in the woods and fields that were nearby where I lived, and I saw three sasquatch and I was pretty excited and I was said outside of my body. So I'm like, wow, you know, this is this is cool. I yelled towards them, and they I kind of more or less kind of like bleeding or something, you know. I was kind of like asking for them to approach me, and they did. And so that there was two older sasquat two younger sasquatch, like a not not that's much smaller. They were just younger than the younger than the main one, the older one.

17:51 The older one had kind of grayish hair in his beard, so that's his like facial hair. So that's why I'd say he was old older and uh. But they they were all three males, and they came right up to me, and the older one communicated mentally to me, and he just said, he said, you need to understand one thing. We are in no way evil. We're just very upset with what humanity is doing to. The natural world someday. That's the gist of it. Right. Maybe I got a word wrong, but I mean that that was the direct message that came to me. And uh so I just was like, okay, I get it, and uh and they turned and walked away, And you know, I've always felt like that was like, you know, the sasquatch was very correct in the fact that that is what I needed to hear, because I think that there was a big part of me that was did have some some fear, some deep kind of fear around them because of you know, there's just so many stories I've heard about, you know, hunters getting their necks broken or you know, just like people missing for one one type stuff.

19:12 Just afraid that there's some. Nine hundred pound, nine foot tall you know, dude in the woods is going to rip my head off, you know if they don't like that I'm out there or whatever. So so I did have that fear. But uh, I think that that encounter, you know, that that particular sasquatch, that guy just kind of spoke to that in me, addressed it and it was good. It was it was good. And now there's there's other there's other. Uh we could say cryptids, or I would prefer to say, like there's these beings of of nature is kind of how I put it. There's these other beings of nature.

20:03 I think Sasquatch is kind of one of them. So another example. Would be these the like little people, the elves basically like in Norway they call them the lilithfolk. In Hawaii here where I live, they call them the Menehuni. Every culture around the world, you know, has had some name for these little little guys, and I've had encounters with them as well. Uh. I had the very first thing that ever happened to me. Kind of more paranormal thing that happened to me was when I was a child living here in Hawaii, probably about only six, you know, six years old probably, and I was I encountered probably five or six of these little guys, these little elf guys who were you know, myself is the six year old, you know, I wasn't.

21:01 I wasn't very it was just a normal six year olds in. Size, right, but these guys were like half my size, you know. So it was very very weird to me, very almost traumatic, because they were nothing. They didn't do anything to me. They just they kind of almost. Played a game as though like they were surrounding me, and it was really kind of funny and fun for them, and it just scared me, you know. So they didn't they didn't touch me, they didn't block me or anything, but I ran past them. I ran straight back to our home.

21:44 And so so yeah, I've had encounters with those little guys. There's a lot more, but let's just stop there. Those are just kind of a good overview of a lot of a lot of crazy stuff. So yeah, absolutely, man, that's that is some wild stuff for sure. When you were talking about your your first one with the yurt. When you said it was outside Eugene in the woods, was it near a certain area or to the east, to the west, anything like that. Yeah, it was to the west. It was to the west, kind of closer to the coast Range. Okay, So yeah, there's a lot of activity out there from the coast Range, and I know, yeah, several other people living out there who have had pretty pretty wild encounters. But yeah, so west of Eugene.

22:49 Cool, cool, Yeah, there's some coast coast has some wild stuff happened when you so you had heard the mental communication when you heard that, did you actually hear the voice of something say that, here I am, You've been one wondering about us, so here I am. I heard here I am okay, and the connotation that the meaning behind it. I got the meaning as well, which is meant like, hey, you've been wondering, so here. You know. That's it's like the tone right of the of what it was saying. But I heard that in mentally as I at the same time I was hearing it physically, you know, yell that huge you know sound.

23:43 It was doing. That's really interesting. Were there any interesting details or things about the voice that you heard that in how it was talking or anything like that. No, not really. And it's the same with the other experience where where it said the older sasquatch said, you need to understand one thing. You know, we are in no way evil, We're just very upset. Both of those experiences, the message was just loud and clear in my mind, loud and clear English just makes perfect sense.

24:25 No, you know, it just it's weird. It's a weird thing with kind of telepathy right like that, Like it just sounds totally totally normal. I had another time where a sasquatch communicated with me telepathically where and that was here in Hawaii actually where I was kind of in a half out of body state and I and I could see one up the mountain from me, like uh way up the mountain, like I could I could see where it was speaking from. It was really long ways away, but it was speaking telepathically and it said to me, it said, we are here, because we're everywhere.

25:12 And I was like, oh, wow, okay, they're here, you know which you know, I live at the base of a mountain that here that it just the whole island is one big mountain. Basically, you know. So it goes up to fourteen thousand I believe fourteen thousand feet or eleven eleven or I don't know one of those. I think eleven over eleven thousand feet. It goes way up. But yeah, there's just tons of uninhabited land up there, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there's some running around living up there. A lot of cave systems up there. But but yeah, every time they could do that kind of mental communication that I've experienced a few times that I have, it's just, yeah, nothing than nothing distinguishingly off or strange about it.

26:06 Gotcha. So you've had you've had visuals multiple times when you you've had out of body experiences. It sounds like m have. Have there been Has there been a time when you've had a visual of any time of any kind when you were not in the middle of an out of body experience? Uh? No, just other than just barely kind of through the trees one time, But it wasn't very significant. It's like I knew exactly where it was, and I could see something moving, and it was making himself really well known, you know, making a lot of grunts and breaking stuff and moving through the area, but it was dark. It was too dark to get to see much. I could just see kind of a shape, his shape moving, you know.

27:06 Absolutely. So you had talked about how you did have some some UFO experiences up in Mount Adams. Oh, yeah, they're in many, many other times, in many other places. I've seen him. I've seen hips in the daytime. I've seen him at night. I've seen him, you know, tons and tons of times. Do you think been up on one when I was out of my body? Okay, okay, oh wow. Yeah, And it was great. It was It was the person on it was not was not a little green man or any alien or anything.

27:48 It was actually it was like a human being who was very i would say, like kind of enlightened in his presence, very very kind, very wise. And yeah, I just saw I made the choice to go up on the ship. I asked to go up on the ship because it was out of my body and I saw the ship flying overhead, you know, just like a like a bright orb of light in the sky, like a really bright brighter than any of the stars, right just low lower altitude. That's usually how I see them, is you know that they're just a very bright, bright light, singular singular light at a lower altitude, cruising through the sky.

28:38 In that case, I saw I saw one, and I and I just requested to I was like, hey, I'm out of my body. There's no limitation. I should be able to just go up to it. And I asked to go up to it, and then. I was drawn. I was just pulled up to it at a really fast rate. When you were up there, the the beings that were inside that just looked like normal humans, right, yeah, exactly did they look like tall Nordics or anything. Like that, or no, no, this guy look this. And I've met this guy actually at another time as well. You know, because in my out of body travel and stuff, I've met with all my deceased friends and relatives, I've I've met with people that I would kind of put in a higher class of like spiritual guides. They're just like a lot wiser, a lot, They're just they're this profound presence, an enormous amount of like love and compassion and care and super intelligence. He was like one of them.

29:42 And I met many many beings like that like him in these out of body experiences. Thinking back, to the times that you've seen sasquatch in your experiences. Do they look similar to how they're described by individuals that, uh that see them just out in the forest, or did they look a little different than what an actual physical encounter is usually described as. No, I would say they look identical to what people say. There's also some photographs going around. There's a guy you might know his name, but he took some incredible photographs of him, some really good quality like zoom lens photographs of their of a couple of sasquatches faces.

30:37 Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages? He like this, this crazy guy. He like gets in a gilly suit and I tried to sneak up on him for weeks on end in the snow up in like northern Canada. You know that guy. He made a documentary about his efforts. Oh is it Todd Standing? That's it? Yeah, yeah, dude, he's wild. But I mean, but I don't I think his photographs, you know, stand on their own legs, you know, because yeah, I'd say they look like that, you know, they're face facially.

31:28 The males that I the males that I saw looked a lot like. That, Oh okay, really that's interesting. Facially okay basically, but then but then physically they look like I said, like, they look like if you stand up, but she'd. Apply wood, you know, four by eight, she'd applywood. They're like at least eight feet tall and at least four feet wide. They're just like there's just massive. So like my experience of being right in front of him, and even though I was like out of my body, it's you know, being out of. Your body is is just. If it's just. Like being in your body. I mean, everything looks the same, like you're just you're you're having a full experience.

32:11 Just like as if you were if you were in your body. So they look fully physical to me, and they're huge when their their energy, like their presence is very kind of abrasive, like rough, gruff, like pretty scary, you know, just in the intimidation factor, you know how huge they are, yeah, and how spirit how serious, how serious they are too. You know, when you were out with your friend, would he also have out of body experiences? No, no, he doesn't have them. He uh no, no.

32:59 He he's very interested in the subject though, And he showed me that place he had gone out there before with another friend of ours and was like, dude, you got we got to go out here. This place is amazing. He had the same in like intuitive sense as me as far as what was going on, Like we both knew well that night when they were surrounding us, they were all i would say, the mom and the two or three younger ones were all over to our right. In some trees to our right. But the big Daddy had moved around to our left and was way closer to us. He was just sitting just behind like this full pile of rocks, you know, probably within thirty yards of us or less, you know, and not making a sound. But we both knew it.

33:52 You know, in the moment, I'm just kind of whispering and do him. I'm like, hey, you know the way the big Daddy is, and he's like right over there, bro, Like he's right there. You know, we both knew it. We could just sense it. It was just a. Really really in a trip how that. You know, have you ever met any other people that have also experienced that where they had a out of body experience and then they had connections with sasquatch. No, No, Like my grandfather was only one of the only people. I'd say, maybe I've met one or two other people who have had regular out of body experiences, But my grandfather didn't have anything like that happened that I know of. He just he just told me about a few things like But but answer your question now.

34:59 So the the big question, of course, you know, that we usually bring up, is you know, doing this research and having you know, connected in different ways, have you come to an idea of what it is that we're dealing with with what sasquatch actually is? You know, I absolutely, like I definitely have a perspective and opinion on that, and I it might be a little different because I think we kind of have to look at ourselves to answer it.

35:42 More like for example, here's what I mean, Like. People could go could ask the question, well, are they like are they physical or you know, because there a lot of people can tell their experiences of how they can kind of like more or less disappear, right like people like, oh, they're they're made footprints and then they disappeared, footprints ended they disappeared, or or this or they saw like a ball of light traveling through the forest and then it became a sasquatch. You know, there's all these kind of out there things.

36:23 So what I mean by looking at ourselves is kind of like looking at our own perception, our own understanding of like what we think physical reality is. You know, it's a subjective like opinion really, you know, backed by ununderstanding of science and modern thinking. Right, I just look at it like this. I look at it as Sasquatches are beings probably a lot similar to us, but I think that they're they're more. They're more in touch with their. Ability to do things that we we might see as like supernatural, you know. And I, for example, like I think they can they can turn invisible based off kind of controlling their own vibrational rate.

37:18 They can disappear from. Our eyes, right because because our eyes are only picking up a certain bandwidth of. Vibration energy frequency. Right of light, our eyes are only picking up a certain bandwidth of that at all times. So I think that these beings of nature, these elves, or these menahooney, or these sasquatch, or these different beings of nature can and adjust their own frequency in a way. You know, they're in touch with that. I think I think it is. I think it's totally possible for humans to be to We're capable of that as well, just like using only a certain amount of our brain capacity.

38:03 You know, it's a similar. Thing like that. I think there's a lot of capacities that. That we have, latent, latent abilities that we we have that we just we don't we're not using. You know, I can't answer it. I don't you know, I don't know. I can't speak for all of them, you know, Like I think that they're also kind of like humans in the sense that there's there's there's good ones, and there's bad ones, or there's there's ones that maybe there's ones that are very hurt traumatized, like maybe there's ones that had one of their loved ones, family members murdered by you know, the military or a hunter who knows what happened.

38:43 You know, maybe there's ones that are really angry. But then I think there's a lot of them that are that are good. I don't know about saying good or I just think there's ones that are very very highly aware and yeah, generally not trying to do any harm whatsoever, you. Know, exactly. Let me throw this. I have a theory and I bring it up every once in a while. I'm just curious what your thoughts are, if you have any.

39:26 From taking a lot of encounters over the last multiple years, kind of noticed a bit of a some similarities, and sometimes I wonder if perhaps when a human individual gets in close contact with and not even having a visual just in close contact with them, if that almost can unlock some latent ability that we didn't know we had, or you know, kind of unlocks a part of our brain or something like that. I don't know if that's that sounds crazier, if that's anything maybe you've kind of thought of before, if you had any thoughts about.

40:18 That, well, it definitely knocks down the wall of I think that we're it's so natural for us to have kind of a certain firewall of disbelief, and so, like I said, when the first time I actually encountered one, I consciously totally believed that they were real. I'd heard a bunch of stories from people that I knew well and totally trusted that what they're saying is one hundred percent truthful. But even though I believed and all that, and I'd heard from these people, it still was huge for me when I had one right close to me, yell, you know that first encounter thing that I had had, So yeah.

41:07 I agree. I totally agree with what you're saying. It just kind of knocks down a wall of disbelief that you didn't even know was there, you know what I mean. It does kind of open you up more. To a different like you kind of do walk through the world a little differently because yeah, I'm I'm i'd say I'm a way more open, like open kind of person now, you know, Like I'm not gonna shoot anything down. I'm just gonna I'm gonna question it and think about it, but I'm not gonna like discredit it if some you know, discredit something someone says though, as though I think I have the right answer and they don't.

41:48 You know, Oh yeah, I would say, you know, I've never had a close up experience like you've had. I have heard stuff in the woods in Oregon and even experience that. I mean, Yeah, it does open you up to other stuff. It's like, but it definitely it definitely And i'd be interesting if you if you could corroborate this based off like experiences that you've had. But one thing it did give me is is that ability to tell I can feel when they're around, you know, and like I'll share two funny things real quick. Okay. So I was like driving through the desolate road wintertime in Montana, driving along, and and I just thought, I just had a feeling like, man, I bet there's sasquatch right around here, you know.

42:40 So it's like late afternoon, and I like, pull over. There's like no one on the roads out there, just you know, snowy, pullover, go pee or whatever. And and I just start doing some some calls, right I'm just like, you know, like calling out as they can, and uh boom, just one starts doing some really loud tree knocks, like you know, right up close by, you know, and I'm like, man, how cool I had like I knew confirm boom. I could feel that one was in the area. So that's why I stopped, you know. Another time, it was so this is so funny because I was a good friend of mine has had just bought this property. It's it's in the it's kind of out in that coast range of Oregon, kind of remote, you know, And so he was having like a kind of a property warning, like a party, you know, get together.

43:42 So we got a fire going and we're all hanging out, you. Know, having some beers, and uh boom, I just get this feeling there's a sasquatch around, Like, I just felt it really strong, I commented to one of my friends. He just kind of laughed at me, like this is my friend who had the property. I'm like, hey, bro, there's a sasquatch or here on your property. You know. I could feel like because I heard what. I also heard some branches break right up the hill from us, so I'm not I felt it. Then I heard those branches. Break and I was like, oh, man, yeah, it's all one is here. So he laughed at me, which I don't care. We're really good friends, you know. Yeah, and uh but it's just outside of his too far out for him, right, So what happens next. We're just standing by the fire, chilling and no wind at all, no wind, and that sasquatch pushed a tree over on that hillside.

44:46 That was a big tree. Man. It was like big. You could hear it coming down, like you could hear you hear like the you could hear like the roots break. You could hear it. Swinging through the branches of the other trees and just boom, you know, you know it was probably like a it's probably eighty foot tall tree, you know, probably a good three at least good three feet diameter, you know, like a big. Tree, big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

45:40 And so yeah, so then I was like, oh yeah, I was like I told you, you know, And of course they all have total cognitive dissonance, like maybe one of one of like five or six of my friends had his wide eyes wide open, like actually, you know, believe me in my take on it, but the others were just like they couldn't process it. You know, that's wild. Yeah, they gave me that like I can tell when they're around. You know, that's pretty cool. I mean, I've I've heard, well, I think I've heard similar things to that. I don't know if I've heard that exact same thing where you're really you're really tuned in after you have that encounter.

46:29 I'd be curious if other people have that ability too, if they want to put that in the comments as well. But if there are listeners that are like man, I would really love to try to have a sasquatch encounter. There are there things that you recommend people to do or try in order to, you know, try to get encounters with these creatures. I I it's the same that the answer is the same exact answer when it comes to out of body experience and stuff like that. Is anything that you want that you desire, any experience you feel like, man, that would that might add to me that might be really cool?

47:17 Is is? I just fully believe it's like prayer, like sincere a sincere request. It's like it's like if you if you knock, the door will be opened. If you seek, you shall find. You just have to like sincerely be interested. And then I mean definitely if you go out to go out to an area where they might be and and just have a campfire camp out, you know, have that have that if you have that desire in your heart, I feel like they know. It's the same thing as like if you want to meet your spiritual guides. You know, I wanted a long time ago, I wanted to meet I had heard about spiritual guides. I wanted to meet them.

48:06 I requested it, and I've met a bunch of them now, you know. So I just I really believe in that. Is that. You just ask you just if you're sincere, sincerely ask, you're open to it, there's no need to be afraid, in my opinion, nothing to be afraid of. Uh yeah, that's very interesting. It definitely echoes other things that I've I've heard as well with you know, some people, I know, prayer or manifesting or having a pure intention.

48:48 There's all sorts of things that kind of have similar, similar themes, but it makes sense. Yeah, it's like prayer. You would call it prayer, and I just think it's like, uh, you know, just like I think what blocks people in all kinds of ways is like a sense of like from spiritual things too, is like maybe thinking oh maybe I'm not worthy, or maybe I'm not pure enough, or maybe this or that or whatever, and I just think it's all blowney. You know. You just if you're really interested, if you know that you're interested in something, and just go and seek it out, and you'll, you know, request it in any way or shape or fashion you like, and you know.

49:39 It'll it'll happen if you you just get out. There a little yeah, And that's that's that's right. That's another huge part of it is you pretty much have to go like you're going camping, but let people know where you are too, you know, yeah, be safe about it, of course, you know you kind of. I think you had mentioned and missing for one one for a minute or two earlier. I did, Yeah, I mentioned that, which is why I had a little fear in me, you know, a little like concern about you know, I hope they're hope they're not gonna, you know, nice or whatever, not gonna run me out. But you know, I think a lot of those stories, like I've heard so many stories right, a lot of hunters that have gone out gotten absolutely scared.

50:27 And you know, I just don't I think they don't like guns. I don't. I don't think they like guns. I don't think they I think that's like their home. They got kids out there, you know, I don't think and they know what they are, and you know, I don't. I'll you know, I don't have a gun right now. I think I might get one just to keep it home in case someone tries to break in or whatever. But I'm not going to bring a gun out in the woods. If I'm going or to see some sasquatch. There's no way, no how, you know. And I'm not going to try to fool them with cameras either like, uh, they're too they're too they're too smart, man, they're too wise, they're too tuned in. They know they know your heart's intent.

51:12 That's my that's my opinion. I feel like they can look right through you. You should know that if you're gonna seek them out. I would say, don't do not bring a gun unless unless it's just for like some cougar. If you're scared, scared of like a wildcat or something else, you know, maybe then. You want a gun. I think if you if you brought a gun, you're like, hey, sasquatch, look I got this gun. But I'd never a pointed. You just in case a cougar or something, So don't get there right then. That I think they'd understand that, you know. I don't think they'd take it. I don't think they'd take it the wrong way. But I know multiple people that do that actually, where they always have that conversation because there's so many cougars around that they're like, yeah, this is for oh, yes, for the cats.

51:56 Yeah, I got killed by cougar one time. I got wow, real close off with the cougar and it is unreal how big they are, dude, unreal how big that one was. It was huge. I could have it could have just it could have killed me so quick. I'm like six, I'm six, one, you know one, you know, it could have just wiped me out. And you were just in the woods like you weren't in a car. I was in the woods, sleeping under the ground, sleeping, sleeping under the trees, no tent, and it ran up on me. But I it woke me up, the sound of it approaching, and I just got to my feet just in time to shine my really bright flashlight right in its eyes. I turned, I turned the light on, right in its eyes, and it skidded to a stop, like within two feet of me.

52:48 Oh my god, that was so close. Wow, it was really out dude. Oh my god. Yes, my girlfriend at the time, my girlfriend at the time was kind of a hypochondriac, and I'd really had to convinced her to hike up there with me, so so she I screamed when I turned on the flashlight and it ran off, and then she she woke up and she was like she's like, what are you doing? Like, oh, you woke me up with the like kind of like very angry girlfriend kind of vibes, and I just didn't tell her. I was like, I said, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry if I woke you up. I don't know. I just heard something. She's like, oh it was all mad.

53:30 Yeah, that probably wouldn't have gone well if you actually told her. So I just like laid down. I laid in there all night with my knife and my flashlight and just stayed awake all night just listening. Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, that's so. That's so crazy, dude. Wow. Yeah, you got to be prepared out there, especially in the Pacific Northwest. So this has been such a such an enjoyable conversation, uh, in a in a viewpoint that I don't think we've actually had on the show before. So I'm glad that you came on. Did you have any other closing thoughts or things that you would want to to share as we start to wind the show down.

54:13 I just encourage anyone to just like, you know, if you're interested in this stuff, you know, uh, do it for yourself. You try to get out somewhere and seek it out. Got some really remote, beautiful, just beautiful places too, you know. I love I have such a love for going into the real deep backcountry because it really doesn't take long. You know, you can get to places that just people just don't go. And it's really beautiful out there, you know, just even even if you don't see a Sasquatch, it's just gorgeous, you know. So yeah, I just encourage people to not be afraid seek this stuff out. And it's it's it's awesome.

54:54 It's all awesome. It's a it's a wild world, uh you know we live in, but it's a beautiful world. And there's like, you know, I think that I think one thing that all these experiences have given to me is is, uh, it's I think there's a big kind of cosmic joke where we're humans, like we're we are kind of the butt of the joke, I think a lot of times, because we know, we're like just so sure of stuff, you know, we're so sure of our worldview, and yet you know, we live in just tiny bubbles, like tiny civilized bubbles of you know, just bouncing off each other and like egoically, and it's just it's just you know, I think it's very humorous and.

55:43 Because yeah, you get out there, you. Know, those these bubbles of civilization are very very small, you know, and there's a lot there's a lot more conscious there's a lot more like conscious beings that hey, good, bad or whatever. They're not. They just are, you know, but they exist. Yeah, it's just cool, you know. It's it's expand it's all expanded my my view of life itself so much. You know that I would never trade it, you know. I love I love living in the world as I have kind of come to see it, you know. I think that's that's one of the most important things as well. You had mentioned to me earlier that you're also a writer, so I want to make sure that we, uh that I give you some time to share about that.

56:30 How people can you know, follow your writing or reach out to you if if they wanted to ask you a questions specifically about what you were talking about. Sure, man, totally. Uh, yeah, you know, I do all. I've always done a lot of writing. Right now, I've got a thing going on sub Stack. It's a kind of the internet platform just for writing, so I post my stuff on there. It's uh you can find it at uh seb Stack, which is my name c Ceb and then Stack s T a c k dot sub stack sub stack dot com. So that's where you can find my writing. I wrote a piece recently called Sasquatch and Elves, and it goes over some of my experiences and then it goes over, you know, just a lot of other experiences that friends of mine have had, which there's that's a really fun piece to read. But yeah, then a lot of my other stuff I write is kind of like, uh, i'd say, kind of satirical worldview, like just looking at the world, writing about different subjects going on in the world and everything, kind of from a I also do stand up comedy.

57:54 I really enjoy doing that. So my stuff is kind of funny, kind of edgy, kind of out there, just like me. So awesome. Yeah, so that's that.
