Paced on the Oregon Bigfoot Highway!

0:00 Thanks for listening to Bigfoot Society. I'm Jeremiah Byron. Today you're going to hear a lot of accounts from all over the US, from people from really one side to the other. This is a collection of impromptu calling encounters from the TikTok live platform. You've never heard a collection like this. You're in for a treat. These are raw encounters you won't want to miss, so stay with us. Hey, Kate, how are you good? How are you do one great? Do you have anything to share today? Yeah? So I was nine years old. I grew up in a small town in Ohio. We had about three hundred acres farmland, and we had cattle, black angus. Long story short, we would do these like late night runs, especially during the winter because it just got so freaking cold.

1:00 And we get on the four wheeler and again, I'm nine, going out by myself because my dad was in college putting himself through school. And I'll never forget driving out there. My headlamp got I don't know if the battery just went dead or what. And no big deal. You know, you know the land, you know, you can kind of see the roundabout of the lights and stuff from the house so you know where you're at. And I heard this howl and we're used to coyotes, and that's kind of why we were doing these checks, was because of coyotes. And I'll never forget getting out there and I heard this howl and it sounded like somebody was whacking something up against a tree. And I remember just like all the cows were like terrified of the tree lining. But what was so interesting is that during the wintertime they would always head towards the tree lining because the trees would help kind of break the impact of the wind.

2:02 And I'm out there and it was this howl and then I'll like a whack whack, whack, whack, and then another like a whoop, whoop, whoop, And I just remember thinking, that's not a coyote. That's not a wolf. We don't have wolves around this area. And uh. I used my walkie talkie to radio back to my mom, and I used it and I remember telling her, Hey, there's there's something weird going on out here. At that very moment, my walkie talkie went dead. And I was so like taken back by that because I had pulled it right off the base right before we left or right before I walked out to get on the four wheeler, and it's like negative twelve degrees. It's freezing outside, and the cows are all towards the like the front end of the passion. I don't know how to explain it, but they were not towards the tree line, and they were terrified. I don't know how to explain. I like, the babies were in the in the in the in the middle of the herd, which they do that as a protective instinct, and they wouldn't eat. They were not interested at all, and my dad I remember my dad saying, Oh, it's because it's cold, you know, they're just they're just picky because they're cold. But that sound, that whooping to this day, I still hear it when it's dark outside, like I hear it in my head. And I remember telling my mom about it getting back in and she was like, that's weird. So we went out the next morning checking on things. It's like eight in the morning, sun's coming up, of course, And I'll never forget the

3:35 finding the tree that because again, you can just you know the area, you know the land, and I knew where I was, and I went back to that same spot and there was this giant stick like I wouldn't it was like a log, and I wouldn't call it a log, but it was bigger than a stick, and it was you could see the indent that it made against the tree. And I remember telling my mom about it. That's the stick, that's the stick. She just thought it was nuts. And years later, here we are watching a big foot documentary heat and they were using they had that whooping sound and then they were talking about how they would use these sticks, and it was freaking terrifying because it.

4:19 Was like, Mom, that was the sound. I was losing. It and she's like, are you serious? But what really took me back was the it looked there weren't It weren't feet. It was there were prints, but they weren't feet, like you didn't see toes. It was like giant feet though, like a giant print and completely screwed with my head. And I mean, like I just need you to know, like small town, Ohio, my grandparents were amish for gosh sakes, like, we did not believe in this kind of stuff. But what got me so hardcore was like I was like, we found the missing link and it started this whole, Like I don't know if I believe in Jesus, because if.

5:10 Jesus is realized, they're bigfoot, you know. And uh yeah, it really it really messed with me and messed with the animals it like, and and to this day, that whooping sound really gets to me, so lesson learned on my my Like whenever the battery went dead. I again, I don't know if if it I don't know if that was just coincidence or or what it was, but it was. It was terrifying. It was absolutely terrifying. And uh yeah, I'll never forget that that whole. And again like this would be east of Cleveland, so but huge farmland and yeah, I mean people think I'm crazy, but I swear to God it was bigfoot.

5:58 Yeah. East of Cleveland has some weird stuff in it throughout the years, really yeah, oh yeah, And I'm thinking of I mean south of Cleveland, like Canton and yeah, has some weird stuff too, for sure. Really oh yeah, totally. So the kind of whoop that you heard, was it similar to like something you would hear in a zoo. Hmmm, maybe like something like like that one of the monkeys that go like, oh, like do like it was like that, but it was lower and it was deeper and it was like this oh and uh yeah, I mean I I remember thinking like what what animal?

6:42 Why now? And I mean in the cold, and you know, it was Yeah, everyone thinks I'm crazy about it, but I mean there were other incidences and for the longest time, we would lose turkeys, but we never lost the body of the turkey, only lost the head of the turkey. Ye. Same with cows, Like it was just really interesting how it happened with cows, and you know, lines from oh my gosh, the amount of times that we had electric fence downs. We I mean, no storms, no issues, but yep, there's a giant break in the electric fence and we're out there the next day and Dad is like, you know, livid because how does something pull out, you know, a pole out of the ground like the way that it did.

7:32 And so we just thought, Okay, maybe the neighbors were riding their four wheelers too and didn't see the fence and maybe they plowed through it and whatever, but it was like bent and stuff, and it was just so weird. There were incidences in the barn too, Like it was just it was it was all sorts of stuff. But I'll never forget like running. I mean, you just know when something's behind you, or you just know when something's like watching. And the amount of times that I would just run from the absolute bong to to to the to the to the to the house, terrified because. There's something chasing me.

8:15 I didn't, I mean it felt like that, you know, it felt like that at the time. I don't think anything was actually chasing me obviously, but you could just tell that like something, something was behind and then the motion lights on the barn always going off. Now again, those could be animals, but it was just it was always weird. And then the prints just showing up, and I don't know how to describe them, Like I remember looking at them and being. Like, that's a really big boot. That's a very very very big boot. But there weren't like like I didn't see indentions of like toes. But if you think about. It, when snow kind of lands and melts and melts and stuff like that, it would make sense that you wouldn't see the toes. You would see a giant print like a like a foot, like a boot or something of that matter, you know, it didn't. It didn't have the inventions of the toes and stuff because either the snow would melt or you know, new snow would sure.

9:20 So what how how big were the prints? Approximately? Way bigger than a foot? Yeah, way better than twelve inches. Does that make sense? Oh no, it totally does. Yeah, I've seen fifteen sixteen. I was going to say like fourteen fifteen, but I don't want to be dramatic because like, you know, again you're nine. But I remember looking at it and being like, huh, wonder what that could have been. And we never followed them or anything like that because you know, that's you're out there to work. You know, you're not out there to chase prints. And there were things to do and you know, stay focused kind of thing. But it was like to this day, my mom and I still talk about it. And we lived on land that it was a century home, so it was.

10:08 Over a it was over two hours old house. You know, dirt basement, but we we realized that the land that we lived on was Native American. Yeah, and that was when I was like, okay, I mean if you look at me, like if you google it, I lived right next to the slighter summit. We owned that cemetery, and so it was it was just you know, I mean constant creepiness. But the turkeys, like my dad would be like, well what animal would just take ahead? And I'm thinking, like that's a good point. You know, we thought maybe an hour or something, maybe it was a bird. But you know, the turkeys were the closest animals next to our house, and those birds would let you know if they were pissed about something, if they were start clucking. And I remember thinking like, if I was trying to do something, I would I would want the birds to be quiet, you know, if I was trying to gain act, if I was trying to do something.

11:08 And so I remember thinking like what if it wasn't after the birds, it was trying to silence the birds, you know, like what if it was. I don't know though, I mean, is there any history, Like what do they eat? Are they omnivores? Are they carnivores? No, they definitely are, and that's because there's multiple reports of them either eating berries or chasing down deer and eating the deer. It is an omnivorre situation for sure. Gotcha, Yeah, that would make sense. Yeah, we had tons of very berry patches and stuff like that, and uh yeah, it. Was just but there was what else got me do.

11:48 It was like you know how when it's really cold, you can't smell anything because you know, you're like your sinus is are frozen. There was like it smelled like something dyed. Uh huh. I don't know how to explain it, like die died like and I remember thinking like it wouldn't have it wouldn't smell in the cold because the animals aren't really decomposing like normal process because it's so cold, and so I remember thinking like what could have that smell? Like it was like a mixture, like like like sewer and like like dead, you know, and it just really like it was a smell my light's out, my radio is not working. Uh huh. That that sound and the the it only sounded like one, but the way it echoed made you think.

12:41 That there was like more than one. Does that make sense because the echo was absolutely so yeah, it was like so like it would bounce off the trees. And again, I mean I like pinpointed the area to the tea. I remember where it was because I remember being so freaked out and traced it back and there was this stick just standing like right there next to this tree and you could see the damage done and it was really creepy. It was really creepy. Wow, And nobody believed me for years. They were all like, oh, you're telling so definitely, you know, you're telling stories, You're being dramatic and all that kind of crap. And it really messed with your head as a kid, because you're like, was that real? Was it not?

13:21 Was it a fever dream? Medium? Insane? You know that kind of thing, And how does Jesus fit into this complex? And it's a great question, isn't it. It's a really really good question. And that all comes down to, I think, is how you view it, right. I mean heard women on their mastercycle sh'd stay out of the clear of the woods. That's interesting. I wow, I never thought about that. I on ndred percent agree with that. I will tell you there's a lot of things that I sometimes cut out of the podcasts that have to do with that, and that does play into things it's come up before on the show. But there's some times where I'm like, this is just a little like, yeah, I will say, if that's what you're if you're experiencing that I probably wouldn't go into an active area just because it like really brings them in from from reports I've taken. Also, you mentioned stuff happened in the barn.

14:21 Yeah, like hay bail's going missing. We would always lock up the bail or the hayloft, close the doors, that kind of thing, especially during the winter, to keep the you know, keep the hay dry. And I mean, dad, I can't remember even how many times my dad would be like, we're we're down to you know, we need we need to get more bails because we're magically missing more bails. And it would be about two or three at a time that we would suddenly just miss and it felt like you could see the remnants of the hay outside of the barn. So you know, we're thinking maybe something you know, I don't know, it just there was never really any serious explanation. My father was very is, very very simple, very you know, abc kind of thing that does not believe in anything that you if you can't see it, you can't touch it, that kind of thing.

15:15 And so I'll never forget like, oh there was there was always like a rational explanation, and if there wasn't a rational explanation. He moved on quickly. He didn't spend his time to mull over it. But I mean we took a trip up to Pennsylvania and that you know, there was there was stuff that that just again that same creepiness from you know, that that feeling you know you're just being watched and stuff. And I've heard that Pennsylvania was pretty active, but this was back in like the I must have been I was nine, so nineteen ninety eight, nineteen. Ninety eight, Ohio. Yeah, and. Yeah these ideas was a good year.

15:56 I wouldn't know, I mean everyone, I apparently somebody told me the other day, if you're thirty five, you didn't grow up in the nineties. You grew up in the two thousands. And I was like devastated to you that, because I'm like, that's wild, that's mean, that's so mean, Like shut up. Is what it is. Yeah, Kate, I mean, thank you so much for coming up. Is this a conversation that I can use on my big podcast? Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I got your email too, and I'll even email you more. It's more others. Oh, thank you, Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, it was chatting with you today, coming up. No problem, take care man. Yeah yeah, what a fun, fun individual. All right, here we go in there. How's it going? Hello?

16:47 Hey, hey, there's here. How are you? Yeah? I can hear you. I live in Oregon, have for years, and in like the Clackamus River area. Yeah. I had a vehicle breakdown and it was like dusk and I was walking to get a cell signal and I heard something like pacing me in the woods. Sounded like bipedal.

17:28 It wasn't a cat or anything, and you could hear like sticks breaking, and you know, I'd like speed up my pace and it would speed up to kind of pace me in the woods, just far enough out where I couldn't be seen, and I'd stop and I'd hear nothing, And as soon as I started again, here it would come and it was like it was like directly beside me, but out in the woods, maybe twenty or thirty feet and h I've never been back to that same place.

18:12 It's called p Vine Mountain. P Vine Mountain. Okay, I'm gonna guess it's too around two twenty four, but it's it's east of two twenty four. Okay, yep, yep, totally. Yeah, okay, So are you aware of what two twenty four is called? No, oh, this is going to blow in your mind. So you know that whole two twenty four from Esticada to Detroit that is called in Bigfoot circles the Oregon Bigfoot Highway because so many encounters happen on that road. You can get a book called the Oregon Bigfoot Highway and it has encounter after encounter over the years in all those areas, including that area that you just said. So, and I'm not surprised.

19:04 My friend of my mom, he was in the forest Service and they were marking at timber sale or something up on top of Pevine Mountain and he was waiting by the truck for his coworker to show up, and he actually heard some screams, but other than that, he won't talk about it. That was enough to turn me off on hanging out around there in the Skyline Road and stuff. Oh absolutely, I mean, so I've been on I've driven through Detroit in July, and that is wild enough. And I can't believe. I can't imagine what it gets like on that two twenty four. It's got to be out of control.

19:58 Oh yeah, And The evidence of like. Broken trees and stuff is crazy too. You know, if you if you venture off the road at all, you know, maybe nature calls and you can actually see like damage to trees and stuff that doesn't make any sense. And it's like up higher. You know, it's not like kid from the city or something is out there twisting the tops of trees off. You know. Oh no, not at all. I mean you go into places like Estacada out in the woods and you see stuff that just blows your mind. It's like it is not just a random person going out there and twisting all over the place.

20:48 Yeah, it's crazy. Wow. I want to ask you as well, being in that area, is it a thing where you're hearing other people tell stories as well. I actually saw a cable program where somebody was out listening down closer to the Cala Wash which is off of the forty sixth road, which is two twenty four right, and he didn't he wasn't able to record anything that day. I think that was closer to Bagbee hot springs. Through Bagbee hot springs is so crazy for whole mink and it's it's so nuts.

21:32 Yeah, And. It was actually on Portland Public access is his show, and I wanted to see another one if he actually had some sound, you know, But I never found him again. Oh man, do you remember what his name was? I don't. It's been okay, it's been probably twenty years ago. Oh yeah, for sure, yep, I got chat. But it might be any archives. Yeah, you never know, maybe someone can find it. Take a look. Man. It's so good to talk to people that are actually out in this area. It's such a wild, wild area.

22:17 You know. This conversation we've had, is it one where I can use it for my big Foot podcast as well? Sure? Okay, cool, cool. I appreciate that. It just it really helps a lot of people that are from this area kind of open up once they hear someone else talking about it. And I believe. I heard somebody talking about knocking in the not not the Pevine area, but closer to like the Clockhamaus Ranger Station or the old Ranger station and Timothy. No not rebel Brook, Noka. Up on the forty two road.

23:00 There there was actually a Clackamus Ranger station which was just like a cabin and then they had some cabins for the help which right right next to Timothy lake. I've heard at spot too. Yeah, I've heard about knocking around the Clackamas cabin there. Oh. Absolutely. In that book I told you about, there's a part where they talk about, so you know how Ripplebrook had the ranger station two yeah, okay. Allegedly, the story goes is that at that ranger station there was a book that they kept where it was they wrote down all the bigfoot sightings that got reported. But it might just be a story, or you know, it could be true.

23:49 Who knows, But that book is a really good read. If you're interested in that area. I would look into it. Oh man, and that I think I will. In that. Ranger station and it is no longer there, So okay, gotcha they had if they had like doctor or uh uh notations about sightings and stuff, it would would have probably been destroyed in that forest fire. Oh yeah, okay, that's too bad. Yep, yep, yep. Wow. And uh that same guy that told me about uh hearing things up there and turned white and didn't want to talk about it, he was actually uh stationed at Ripplebrook.

24:35 And he uh lived right up behind Ripplebrook in the forest service housing. I'll have to ask him about that secause, Uh he was always most of the time he was in the office. Yeah. I mean, if you could reach out to him, and I mean if he does want to talk to someone, even off record, I'd love to talk to him. My email is Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. Oh perfect, I'll let him know. Okay, awesome, Well, Well thanks for coming up, Sarah. It's been a it's been a fun conversation. Bad. I appreciate it. Good night, do you too, man, Good good chats today so far. Hey, hey, Bob, how are you.

25:21 I'm doing good, good good? What brings you up? I talk uh you? Several months back and I had taken my nine year old granddaughter at the time, and we were riding my side by side, and we were riding through some farm fields that had been planned with corn and snakes to the big swamp, and we came up to the place that was they'd missed like three or four years of corn. So I pulled up and as soon as I stopped, I smellt just the most terrific odor. And I looked in the woods and you couldn't see into the woods for all the weeds and vegetation. So I'm grabbing an ir corn hand of my granddaughter, and all of a sudden, stick comes flying out of the woods. It's about ten feet behind us. And with the smell and seeing that stick coming out of the woods, I just stomped on the gas and we were gone. But I know it don't sound like much, but it was definitely something. And I went back there just a short while later and the odor was gone and there was no sign of anything.

26:57 I mean, that's enough to scare you, though. That's that's extremely, extremely wild. Are you able to share what area of the country that was in West Tennessee? West Tennessee? All right? Gotcha? I lived at a little town called Huntington, and we were no more. If he's on the highway, we wouldn't more than five minutes out of town. But it's a big swamp on both sides of the road, right by a major highway. Are there are there other people that have had things happen in the same area.

27:39 I don't know. I haven't, Okay, I know, I don't know if it's unusual or not. But I hear a lot of food else all day long, mill to day, late morning, early afternoon, and of course late early in the morning. In dark. They just don't sound right. Yeah, I was gonna ask what what do they? Uh? What sounds off about them? They just well I never knew who the else who did like that all day long? Mm hmm. I always thought it was early in the morning, late in the evening.

28:22 Oh chu, they sounded besides the time of day. Did they sound like normal owls or did anything about them? The weird? They sounded a little off. They sound real close, but just a little off, you know what I'm saying? Sure, sure, oh, I gotcha. That is that is one of the patterns that that you hear. Sometimes you hear owls. Sometimes they hear they sound off, they're too big, the end of the call will sound a little weird. Things like that. Wow, Bob, thank you, Thank you for coming up and for sharing again. Is this a conversation that I can share on my big Foot podcast as well?

29:10 Of course? All right, thank you, Thank you, sir. Keep us in the loop if things continue to happen. Okay, Hey Scotti, how are you doing? Man? Hey, I'm doing pretty good. How you doing? Man? Doing great? What brings you up again? Well? You know, I've been watching your show and I've just seen a lot of people talking about all the things that they've witnessed, you know, and it just made me. I've been commenting down. There, you know, in the chat and people say, you know, like why when you saw yours, why didn't you shoot it? And it just it makes me think like these things are too human like because when I saw it. When I saw mine, I was just a teen, Like I said, I was out in the woods. We were camping and there I was just standing out there in the woods and it was just out there in the middle of the field, and this thing ran out and grabbed a wild hog and it was just holding it. And I'm thinking this thing had to be super intelligent and super strong to even do that. I mean, the way it scooped down with one arm and just grabbed it. I've never seen anything like that in my life. And that's what keeps me interested in sasquatch bigfoot phenomena, because once

30:41 you see something like that, it kind of sticks with you, you know, and it doesn't It's not something that I just talk about all the time. When I watch your show, it feels like I'm more comfortable because I hear a lot of people coming about with their experiences, and it just makes me feel a little bit more comfortable to just talk about it. They're very. It just makes me have all these questions. And I think that's why it's such a popular thing now, because more people are seeing them and there's more like everybody always ask, well, where's the real evidence? Well, the real evidence is it's everywhere. I mean, we're surrounded by cameras, you know, even if it's not your personal camera that you're holding in your hand. We're surrounded by cameras everywhere. Now, even if you're in the middle of the woods, there's deer cameras and things you know that people get for animals, livestock or what have you. But when you see something like that, it's just it's something that you will never forget, you know.

31:51 And here I am. I'm I was raised out here in East Texas and you grow up and I don't care what part of the country you're at, there's always somebody with a story about something that they saw they couldn't explain absolutely, And I just I just want to get on here and just say I appreciate you, you know, keeping the conversation going, because more people need to talk about this. I think you have a really interesting show here, and I think if more people talk about it and we could understand these things a little bit better, don't I don't know if the one that I saw was just so big, and it didn't seem like it was trying to come after me. It was going after obviously the wildlife of the area, and I just I'll never forget it. It kind of walked out there and it's almost like it was running, but it was walking. I can't explain the way the gate wasn't human. And then, like I said, back then, you know, you couldn't just get on your cell phone and google, well what's this thing about?

33:08 You had to go to the library. I'm giving away my agent here, right. It's a different world. Yeah, yeah, So I went to the library and I'm looking up like what is this, you know, sasquat Bigfoot? And then it came up and I found out about the Patterson Gimli thing, and that's when I saw that. Just like I told you last time, when I saw that, just the picture of that one, I was blown away. I said, that's it. That's exactly what I saw right there. And that's why, like I've seen just like anybody who's done their research in this field, you've probably seen hundreds of not thousands of pictures and videos. But that footage right there is still and that's taken in the sixties, and you know, we talked about the research and everything that has been done to that film, just meticulously, scientifically everything, and you can just tell that that's real muscle underneath that hair moving and the technology just did not exist back in the sixties to create such an image. And that's and yeah, I saw mine at sunset, but that's what I saw. And then later, you know, being able to see the full video and how it's been analyzed and zoomed in and with you know, which with way more clearity today, different types of resolution, and how they've

34:41 studied it, you can just see that that's that's what it is. It's there's something that we don't know that's apparently living out there that's very intelligent. And somebody come on here and said, well, they probably bury their. Own and I don't know how far. I don't know. I think you've done a lot of research into this, but I was going to ask you, what do you think, why do you think we haven't had somebody just come out with a body that's maybe shot one or or maybe you know, caught one. Obviously, obviously, once you see something, you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, it's real. This is real, and you're just wondering, like, man, like what why hasn't there have been? And then I think not to just ramble on here, but I start to think, well, maybe this is something that the public's not ready for.

35:48 You know. Yeah, I mean, great question, hold on here, there we go. So to tell you the truth, I've heard accounts off air, off record, well from Oregon from the last year where they have found bodies and they've been confiscated, to be honest, So I think I think we're close a lot of people. The theory is that you're not finding bones and you're not finding bodies because when something passes away in the forest, it is disposed of quickly by other animals that pretty much eat the bones. Right, So it's a good question. Definitely, is a lot of people also hold to they bury their dead. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

36:44 I might need to, you know, hear some more accounts, so I'm not sure I feel about that one yet. But yeah, I just appreciate you coming up and your kind words. Thank you, And is it okay if I use this conversation as well on the podcast. Oh sure, as always. I just to really appreciate your show and what you're doing, and I'll continue to listen to watch. All right, Well, thank you so much, Scotty, thank you. Good's Mike's coming up again. Hey Bro, good to hear from you again. Oh, definitely good to hear from your brother. I won't take up too much time. I know, we got like three hundred people in a room, and there's probably somebody that's got something more interesting than what I got to say.

37:32 But Kai that was up in Weldon Springs, Missouri. Yes, at Bush Wildlife. Yeah, I'm from around that area. And uh, I took an encounter from a friend of mine about eight and a half years ago, and he was up there on late ten. So if there's anybody from Missouri that knows where Bush Wildlife is, and you know where Late ten is, you know that it's a really squatchy area. And he was watching something. He just seen it out of the corner of his eye. He said, it kind of like put its hit up and put its head down and then put its it up, put its head down, and one time when it put its hit up, he looked right at it and he said that it the way it looked. He said, it looked it looked like a cross between a human and a primate. He said, you could see humanity in its eyes, but you could tell that it just didn't lie within this saing. And so I just wanted to back Ki up on that that, you know, one percent, that whole area where he was at is extremely squatchy, and there are sightings that go back from the time that Weldon Springs was founded.

38:51 So, oh wow, that is great to have that collaborating story. Mike. I appreciated it. Love hearing stuff like that where it just you know, goes hand in hand like that. Thank you for coming up man to use this audio as well for the podcast. Oh I don't care, man, go ahead, all right, cool, all right. All right, all right, good stuff, good stuff, Hey Faceless, How. Are you not too bad? How's it going? Man? Hey? Doing great? Doing great? So do you have a big foot experience to share, sir? Well, everybody says I do, But I'm kind of I'm kind of a skeptic. I'm the kind of person. I believe in ghost I believe in you know those things, but it's because of personal experience I've I've actually seen or been part of. So I'm the kind of guy even believing in stuff. I walk into a house, you say it's one, and I'm looking automatically for things that could cause you know, electromagnetic fields too close to you know, old horsehair wires, things, reasons why they think it is.

40:00 But I was about an hour and a half north of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York, and the people that I had driven up there put me up in a house. I had the whole thing to myself. It was like a little island other than the driveway that they had built to go into it, and there was a little gazebo, wooden sitting area and stuff. And the first day I was there, I went out and I was having a cigarette and I was talking to my fiance on the phone, and all of a sudden I could hear wack, whack, whack, But it was it was. It was a heavy thud. It was obviously something. It was obviously something that was wooden hitting something wood. So I thought, Okay, that's kind of weird. But it did it like three times and then it stopped. So my fiance's like, well, I don't know, maybe there's somebody out there cutting wood or something. So a couple hours later, every time i'd go out there, within ten or fifteen minutes of sitting out there, I would hear that that whacking noise, you know, that tree knock. So I had been there for a week. Every day for a week, i'd hear it several times a day. Somebody had put up like a rabbit trap up in the woods just over the little knoll, and I heard something that night and I thought it caught something. So I wanted to go up and say, I'm I'm a hunter by you know nature. I love to hunt, and I thought, I'll see what they got up there, you know. So I walked up there, and the trap is ripped out, the anchor is ripped out, and nothing, there's nothing in it.

41:36 But the next day of the cage was back, but it was kind of man handled. We'll say, if that makes sense. Well, this goes on all week. The second to the last day I'm there, I hadn't been down to the end of the peninsula or the creek levels out, and so I got my sweet tea, and I'm wandering around down there and I hear that whack noise again. I hear the tree knocks. Before I could say anything, I had my fiance on speakerphone. She heard it and she was like, I hear it. So I started looking. And when you come across the creek, there's an embankment, and I was looking at the embankment and I'm scanning through the woods and I can see something. There was like a limb that came off and then it dropped down like a like the sag underneath a big person's arms, that kind of a you know, limb, and I could see something black and it's got like it's paw or whatever.

42:27 I mean, It's probably one hundred yards away from me, but I can see it and its arm is kind of or its leg or whatever it was was stuck over the top of it, and it was looking in my direction. But it was just one black mass. So right away I thought, okay, it's a bear. You know, there's a lot of bear up here. It's probably a bear. So I moved around. I found a couple of marks and prints in the dirt and on the gravel, and I told Susan, I said, I gotta go. I'm going to go up and see what this is. While I was out there pair of flip flops with no belt on. So I went in the house, I grabbed my sidearm, I grabbed my belt and put boots on, and off into the woods, I go, and I'm looking for that limb.

43:09 And I found it. Well. As I got a little closer to it, I'm like, okay, it was a bear because it looked like it was like four feet over the top of the grass. And I was like, yep, it was a bear. So I started walking up just to see if there was any trail or you know, any sign. But when I got there, it was the limb wasn't over the top of that. That was the crest of the hill in front of the tree. So when I got there, the tree was actually like fifteen twenty feet away from that, so it was an optical illusion. I'm six foot two. I went over there. I would have had to have put it was easily. I would say I couldn't reach it. To be in the same position. I would have had to have had at least a three or four step ladder step ladder to get up to that point to put my arm over the top of that branch, that elbow in the bank. Now again, I would love to say I saw one and the track was there. I mean all the grass was knocked down, but there were no imprints.

44:12 It wasn't mucky or rainy or. But the grass. You could see where it had been walking around the tree, and I think it was watching me, and then it went back up into the woods. So I can't see that I had a big foot experience, but I feel like I did. But until I can definitively say, you know, if I would have seen that face up closer, or if I would have seen something where I can make more of a distinguishing because I mean, you look at a bear when they're standing up, they look very human. Oh you know they had look So that was my possible sasquatch. Wow, that's it's really close, faceless to an encounter. I mean extremely close. You said, upstate New York. Are are you able to to share like any other location.

45:06 Areas or it was? I know I was above the finger legs. It was a couple of years ago, and I can't remember the name of the town. I probably got it in one of my loss I drive people places, I drive that Swish community. I know that in inside of ben in Canada. That's how close to the Canadian border. I was, Oh wow, Yeah, So I mean I've got actually I've got if you go on my if if you go on my page, it's the very first video that I posted. You'll see the embankment I'm talking about. But I couldn't get my camera or focus or lock or do anything. But that gives you an idea what I was looking over to look across what I thought was a flat the flat ground. So unfortunately, yeah, I lost my other account. I had twenty thousand followers and I had the rest of the video on. There were hind to see the bear or the bigfoot or whatever.

46:03 Oh no way, but yeah, TikTok took that account down because somebody was stocking. I know who it was. They were talking right when I started this account. But that gives you the idea of. What I was looking over. Yeah, absolutely, I mean it's a it's a really interesting account of something that could definitely be close to it. Do you mind if I potentially use this conversation for a bigfoot podcast? I have? Yeah, that would be fine. Okay, I wish I could say that I saw one. I would love to see one. I don't dismiss the fact that there very well could be.

46:46 You know, you look at the history, you look at the cultures around the world, you know, from Yetti's to you know, the swampman to what you know, the stink apes, and there's just so many different things. And in the Indigenous you look at the Indigenous stories and they're out there, but they're portrayed in a totally different light. So these things don't just happen amongst cultures that don't have connection. So logically, I know that there probably is something resembling this what you have behind you, But until I see one, I. Can't say absolutely. Man, what the.
