Part 2: Gentle Giant Reveals Herself to Sandi Russo in Davie County, North Carolina

0:00 You're listening to Big for Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the. Voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the carring Bridge link in the show notes.

0:42 Thank you, all right, Big for Society get the privilege of having Sandy Russo back on. You just heard from her yesterday and it's about the only episode that has ever ended on a cliffhanger like that, so we've got there's definitely more of what Sandy has experience. We're going to get that in a minute. If you are just hearing Sandy for the first time, I would really recommend to go back and listen to the previous day's episode because it's about an hour and a half of the background that you need to know about what's going on. Also, Sandy has written her encounters in a book called My Journey with a big Foot named Kai, and we'll have the link to that in the show notes, so you can pick that up to read it for your shell for yourself. But welcome back to the show, Sandy, how.

1:34 Are you today? Thank you? I'm doing great, awesome, And just for I think one more thing. This is taking place down in Davy County, North Carolina, for a reminder, But Sandy, you were giving me a little summary of where we're headed next, and I was thinking to myself, I was like, oh, I was wondering if stuff like that was going to be part and so this is going to get extremely interesting. So you know, feel free to to take us right back into it, and you know, starting with with what was next on your list of events there.

2:16 So I always wondered. I always here that you know, they eat people's animals or kill them or whatever, and I was always putting it out there, please don't hurt my animals, Please don't hurt my animals. But then we would hear knocks and stuff and the dogs would run towards it. So I was like, I wonder if they're friends, but I didn't know at that point. So when we first started getting there, we had a stray that was here and we would feed him, and his bulls started disappearing and we couldn't find them. We'd go running around the property looking for a bowl and sometimes we'd find it.

3:01 Sometimes we'd find it under the structure, and then one time it was totally gone and disappeared for two weeks, and then we found it in the neighborhood under somebody's mailbox. Now he didn't bring it there. I don't know how that got there. But what started happening was the dogs, because we ended up having three. After a while, would their bull would disappear, and then they would show up with a deer leg and this wouldn't This would be a hoof the bottom of the leg and then a little bit of the top of the leg would meat on it. And if we didn't know, we saw that we could look at their balls gone. It was like they were trading with the Bigfoot, like they would say, here, take my food, I want to have a deer leg.

3:57 And this happened three or four times, and so I started putting it out there. I said, are you friends with my dogs? Because they seemed to be okay with them being around It was weird. And one day I walked into the cabin and my eyes blackened and I saw a vision of the juvenile Excuby Doo walking behind the house with Goldie in lead, and Goldie was looking back like are you coming? And she looked like a chihuaha next to him. And after I saw that, I was like, Okay, they're friends, no problem. So then one day we were sitting on the porch and we heard not in the woods, and when the dogs hear them, they go running towards them, and it's like they're going to meet a friend. Their tails are wagon, they're happy, and they look right towards them. So they have seen them many times, is what I'm guessing. But one day we were sitting on the porch and Sarah, the black one, comes back and she's got a leaf tucked into her collar.

5:33 Now it wasn't actually tucked into the collar, it was pressed around the clip, which I did send you a picture of that, Jeremiah. It was the cutest thing. She looked like a little princess and it made us laugh. And so I think it was just a high from them. We're still here because I'm always asking them for signs, you know, of them being around, and sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not because they have a sense of humor.

6:15 But in the winter, one time, I was going into the bathroom and I could see because we have this little slot it's a no's no door, so when you're sitting you can actually look out the window. And I'm looking out the window and I see a furry tree. It was gray, and I was like, huh, I don't remember a tree that big being there. And I'm like what. So two seconds later, there's a big whack behind me and I was like, Okay, I guess you're fine. Scared me, I was in the right place. And then the next sign, and then I in the spring, because we don't hear from them as much as we did in the first year.

7:10 I mean, we had so much activity here. I mean every day for a month they sat with us at night, But so we don't really sit out anymore in the middle of our yard. So I said to Steve, you know, I've been asking them. I don't know what's going on. I hope they're okay. And I get up in the morning and I go to feed the chickens and there is next to a log. We had had a big log that we had we were drying out next to the chicken coop, and right next to that was a big pile up pop not it looked like human, but it was bigger. And the pile was bigger than cows.

7:58 I swear, huge, huge, plot And I was like, why why would they do that? He goes, weren't you asking for a sign? He starts not that, But I was like, okay, now that was a nice, good job, thanks for the sign. But there was also there is a when I was writing my book, I was going to the library a lot because I love Offgrad and I was I'd write my book in you know, like journal form in my phone, and then I go to the library and type it out.

8:43 And I was there one did and an elder gentleman asked me if I could help him. So I had my book up and I went to his computer to help him. He sat in mind, we started reading my book, didn't say anything, so I helped him. Then we're getting ready to leave and I we went outside and he leans into me and he says, they're on my property too. I said what. He goes, I had bigfoot too, I said, you do, and he starts describing the ones that he has on his property, which were the same as what I have. I was like, oh my goodness. So he he said there was a black one, but I had never seen a black one. Well, I mean, sometimes they just tell me in my mind what colors they are or whatever, or I see visions of them. So I knew Oda Allie was was up around, and I knew Kai was gray. I knew his son was gray, but I didn't really know the colors of the other ones.

9:58 And the the man said that he had a gray, a black, and some brand ones too, and I was like, oh, that is so weird. And the female is his connection. She will actually bang on his door and he goes and puts food out for and I was like, oh my gosh, are you kidding me? And he's like as a crow flies, he's like two miles away from me. I was like, oh my goodness, I said, I wonder if said the same ones he goes. I think they are and he said that he believes they live near him.

10:40 I said, I know, they don't live near me. There's no where, there's nowhere. And so but he we ended up becoming friends and he tells me things. On occasion, he actually saw them hunting and they made this little trap, so they have a little hole in the fence where the deer go through. And he said that he was driving down the road and he said that the deer walked into that space. He said, and then she rose and then she went limp, and he said that he was like he couldn't move, he was stuck where he was.

11:29 He said it was like a couple of minutes before he came to be able to move again, and when he did, they were gone. And I said, that is so weird. So but the reason I tell you that is because it was a few months later that I had a dream and in my dream was a black sasquatch like introducing himself, I guess, but I knew his name was Blackie soon as I saw him. I knew it. I don't know how I knew it, but I knew it. So he is with them, and he's a short haired The rest of them are have longer like Odially has like a medium hair. Kay's got long hair, and so does his son. So I have met four of them, but I know there's more because I've seen them. So but that is that is that, And now I would like to move on to my actual encounter. Sure, well, I was. We got up in the morning and is very quiet yard and there was no dogs, and I was like, where the hell are the dogs? So we're calling them. Usually they call him, they didn't, and we were drinking coffee, so I said, let's have our coffee

13:01 and then we'll look. So Steve went up to the neighbors and their dogs were gone too, So I said, well, they're having a party in the field somewhere. I said, I'll take a ride down there. I will walk down there. So I'm yelling for Tucker because just as I was starting to leave, here comes Goldie and Sarah and I'm like, still the neighbors dogs are gone and Tucker's gone. So I'm walking down on me and Tucker. Tucker. I get down to the bottom of the road which leads into the field, and I looked to my right and there is the biggest black dog I have ever seen. It was As soon as I got down there, the energy changed and everything was in like slow motion, and all of a sudden, I felt like I had a drink in me. I was so relaxed, so easy, and I'm looking at this dog and it turns into like slow motion and for a quick minute, it was like I had telescope eyes. Did you ever see Twilight? Oh? Sure, there is a part where Bellow wakes up and everything is micro what do you call it magnified? That's what it looked like. I was looking. I could see follicle.

14:33 So that's how close I got. And I'm looking at this dog and it's got the longest tail and it's I don't think I've ever seen a tail that long. But it was as big as a pony. It was huge, and it's galloping. It wasn't It wasn't like a regular dog. But I guess if I had to guess what kind a dog kind of looked like, would be the dog Daddy's dogs, the black ones. It is like a black shirt German shepherd. It was way bigger. And I'm looking at this dog and I was like, and I look away from the dog, and to my right there's brown cows is what I saw. And I'm like a little neighbor, the farmer descient at brown cows. He has black cows.

15:34 But I was so interested in the dog. I turned from what I thought was the cows and I'm just watching him and he's just going galloping away, goes into the high grass and goes into the woods, and I was like, what is that. I'm yelling, stead, come see this dog. And I turn to where those brown calls are and I'm really looking at them, and slowly I notice that they're not cows. And there was two and they were both crouched. One was kind of sitting on the haunches kind of thing, and the other one was had her hands in front of her and she was just kind of leaning forward. And I was like, what am I looking at a cow? Is it a cot?

16:46 And I really all of a sudden, the magnifying glass comes back and I zoom into her face. And this. Bigfoot has the most kindest eyes. She's got like a little button nose that was wide. She had a orange tuff of hair on her conical head, and her eyes were golden and I could see her eyelashes. This is how close I got in my eyes, and she had like smiley eyes, like she was just like you're seeing me, and I just kind of go down her face and she's smiling and she didn't move a muscle. She let me look and she had so much joy in her face that I finally saw her. Now, I did not besides seeing the color of the other one, I did not really see her because I was concentrating on who I know was oh Allie, and she was so beautiful.

18:07 It was just the coolest moment of my life to actually see her, and the rest of her was like a burgundy chocolate, gorgeous color. And I turned away from them for just a second to see where ste was and I looked back and They're gone. It was just the coolest thing I'd ever experienced. And when I think back, I'd asked them to give me calming energies when I saw them, and to please show themselves in the field, and that's exactly what they did and I saw them. Now, what was she doing down there? I didn't know at that time. I didn't know actor because the next day I decided to go down there and see if I could find footprints or anything of signs that they were actually there and you have to go under a fence, under like a barberre fence, and then down a little hill.

19:25 And when I got down there, the grass was over my head. It was tall and I could see her, so she was big. But there's a little book down there, and I was walking towards it because there's mud there, and I thought maybe i'll see some footprints, so I made it. I'm almost out of the grass and I hear running in the brook, and of course you're free. You see, like, what is that? And a million things go through your head. Now is it the dogs? Now?

20:06 It sounds like a little kid running in there? And I was like, what is going on? And I'm like, do I just stand here? Because they're running towards me? And I'm like, do I say something? And then I thought about it, and I was like this could turn real ugly, and I said, hey, I'm out here. The brakes instantly went on. I stopped running, and I was like, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted you to know I was here. So I got brave to stick my head into the brook. Because the brook has brush on both sides, so it's like a tunnel, so you can't see anybody in there unless you go to the cowpath and look down it. And I peeked in and I didn't see anything. So I was like, okay, well, I have a feeling that it's a small one, and I think I need to get out of here because who knows what's going to happen. So I'm backing down and I'm like, I'm leaving, You're okay, I'm okay backing up there, And when I got far enough, I turned around and walked out. Instantly, I knew this is where Oda Allie brings her baby to cool off because nobody can see you nick and play in there. And then

21:37 I never went back down there again because I knew that's what she did and I didn't want to bother them. So that was the last time that I went down there. But I had Steve go down there and his head was just popping out of the grass and I saw from her elbows up she was squatting. So's she's pretty big. So but that is I think you've got it all now, Jeremia. That is incredible. How tall would you estimate that she is then, because you have like the height of the grass.

22:19 Well, I Steve is six three, I think, and his head was just sticking out. So I don't know how tall a head is, okay, but then beyond I don't know how tall she is, but she's definitely over eight beat, I think. Okay, yeah, sure, Wow, that is incredible how you asked for those certain things and that's what they did that that's probably one of the coolest parts of that. But it's just fascinating. I was very lucky not to have batting counter. You know, I hear a lot of them on your store. But some of the things I hear, I realize that they're joking like this. Big foots have sense humors, and you know, people are afraid of it. But and that's why I feel the need to just comment in there. And I said, I just think they're joking with you, gotcha? But yeah, based so you're.

23:24 I'm trying to how do I say this real quick? So you could tell definitely it was odal Ali female by the way that her head looked, or could you tell like muscle structure as well with the rest of the body. Could you tell anything like that? No, I wasn't really, It's funny. I wasn't trading on it. It just I was just basically seeing her face and her shoulders kind of but she's big, she was her shoulders were definitely like a football person there. She It was like she was getting ready to tackle. That's kind of the position she was.

24:07 But cool, that's absolutely beautiful. Was I don't think you mentioned this, but was totally showing teeth at all? Uh? No, okay, nope, nope, he just kept it very friendly. Okay, Yeah, I didn't see anything I've seen Kay Steve that I have never seen her. And when was when did this happen? Again? This encounter? This happened I'm going to say in the fall last year.

24:50 Fall five, I think, so yeah, okay, okay. Did you do you feel that this because this is a pretty big deal having this face to face. Oh and remind me how far away it was. You would estimate how far you guys. Were apart, fifty yards fifty yards? Okay, So, I mean this is a really big deal to have a face to face encounter like this. Did it affect the interactions between you and Steve and the Bigfoot family group after this? Did you notice anything different or no? Wowpe No, I mean since the first year, you know, and all that stuff. It was like maybe even two years of stuff that was just constantly joking with us and just doing silly stuff to us and aggravating Steve.

25:45 They just kind of grew out of that, I think. And they still say high like you know, that was when they tuck that that leaf into her collar. That was kind of like a high kind of thing, you know, So they let us know they're still around. They haven't. They've only smacked this house once and they did it near the piping, so it made a tiny noise. But the other one they used to smack a little more. But usually it was like I thank you, Like after I gave Scooby Doo those those crunchy treats, he came and smacked the house and then he dragged his nails down the back of the house. They don't reply to me like we do. You know. They do things, They do weird things, and they think that that's that's it, that's good.

26:50 Do you think that does it? In your conversations with your neighbor that you met at the library that lives close to you, does it sound like he has had interactions with old. Lali as well. Oh, he definitely has Is that the female then. Yeah, okay, yeah, that is his friend, you know, like Kai's my friend, you know, and I went through Kai for a lot of things. Now I think I've got a little bit of a relationship with the old if she was the one that came. But I don't, I don't, I don't know. But she knocks on his door she wants food, and he'll go out and give it to her.

27:33 But he's He's definitely had some weird things over there. Isn't it interesting? This isn't the case all the time. But I'm just thinking through all the conversations that I've had, and so often it seems like there's the one individual that has the interaction with the human and usually it's like, if let's say I'm a male, he and I'm having interaction with the bigfoot on my property or something like that, and it's extended, the one that's going back and forth would be a female, or if I was a female, the one would be a male. And I don't know if what that means, but there's a lot of the time it seems to be like the opposite sex would be the one that does the interactions with the human I don't know. I don't know what to think about it, to be honest.

28:27 Yeah, I don't either. I have that myself, And I mean I have heard of people having relationships with There was a guy that was writing in to Nance and if you interactions with one one male and they were like buddies, right, you know. So, I mean there is situations where the males to reach out to the males, but they're usually weird situations of how it happens. Interesting maybe, yeah, But I don't know why he chose me and I And the only reason I can think of is because I am a sensitive and he I would be easier to talk to. But they say that Bigfoot will reach out to people that are going back to nature kind of thing.

29:27 Oh okay, trying to have some connection with nature. Yeah, I mean that would make sense, right. Yeah, yeah, he You know. I made a small orchard and I have peach tree and then one year we had lots and lots of peaches on the tree and we were just picking them as we wanted to eat them because I had already canned tons of peaches and I was like, I don't need anymore, so I was giving them away and I just I was talking to something and said, well, just see bigfoot water. I said, so, I said out loud. One night before we went to bed, I said, hey, Kai, I said, we have a lovely peach tree. It's got lots of beautiful peaches on it and they're ready to eat. So it would give me great joy if you would pick all the top leave the bottom for us, Jeremiah. The next day that tree was picked clean off the top.

30:26 Oh fascinating. Wow, they were okay, yeah, so but I I've offered like cucumbers. They don't want them. Of course, when when you're playing cucumbers you get so many of them, and I left them hanging around see if they take them, and they didn't want them. So and they don't seem to want candlope or a watermelon, though they did step on one of my watermelons and crack it like an egg. Oh, I bet they left it. They didn't. They didn't take it, so I'm guessing it was an accident, because they usually wait till we offer, and then I'll see, you can have these or you can have that. But I haven't found it's weird. I would think they would like more vegetables, how is.

31:20 It that you knew that it was one of the bigfoot that stepped on the watermelon. Because it was cracked like an edge. It was There's no way that any of the animals right here could do that, And I knew I didn't do it. Right right there. We lived so far away from people, you know that we are out of the way. You know, there's a neighborhood up on a hill over there, but you have to go come down a hill to get to us and then go up another hill, so nobody would just be wandering around here. Yeah. But like like I said before, Jeremiah, and there's just weird things that happened, And it's like me and Steve are in our own little world down here, and there's sometimes no explanation. But they had to have done it, because I don't know who else would right.

32:19 Going back to your encounter for a minute, what are your thoughts about what you saw before you saw ode Lali? What did I think first? I thought it was a cows. Or sorry, you saw the It looked like a big dog. What do you think was going on there? You have no explanation except that was possibly it dog? Did you say dog man? Sorry? Yeah? It was too big. I've never ever seen that dog around here, and I've never seen a dog that big ever. So then it just opens more, you know, questions like are they friends? What she saying? Still? Because that thing was around, I have a lot of questions, but I have no answers.

33:13 And man, I don't get a lot into dog Man. But I'll tell you, like I know of a few areas that I can't really get into, but there are areas where there are it's almost like there's a group of Bigfoot and then there's a dividing line and there's a group of dog Man, and it's like they can't cross into their areas, and it's very very interesting. So I don't know if that's something where you're experiencing that, And maybe you just haven't seen a lot of the dog man yet, which I think would probably be okay. Telling you that. I was trying to take pictures, and of course the Bigfoot are very do not want picture, they don't want them. But I had gotten the night vision goggless, and sometimes I was sitting out here and we'll just look because I want to see if I can see them. And one day I saw a dog face real tall up in the series kind of thing, and it was it was in night vision, of course, but it looked brown and with some tan in it.

34:32 But then when I tried to take a picture the camera, the pictures came out black. So I don't know what that was and it could not be verified. But I kind of wonder if they you know, they go out of the territory for a while and these things come in, like they share, but they leave at certain seasons. I don't know, we just don't, but they have not. I mean, we had one scary night will we heard rolling and it sounded like some kind of dog, but it was deeper and we actually there name we were scared, and but that was the only time that we heard that.

35:27 M hm. How has the spring been of this year? Did did any anything happen during the spring? Well that that lead thing just happened and knocking, But it's it's not you know, Steve had that popping noise and the same chatter was all around the same tongue. Mhm, But it's not it's not. Uh, they're not, They're not. It is messing with us like they used to. I mean, on occasion, our fan will go off or you know, and we, of course we always try to think of logical ways. Why sometimes there's not you know, like the whole house will go out and well, thank god the generator died, and then we're looking it's still fifty percent and I'm like, well, why do you go off? Wow, we don't know. Just you know, that kind of stuff still happens, but very minimal now, and we get signs of High's kind of thing is what I feel like it is. But it's not. It's not like it was.

36:46 It's just like we we exist together, you know. And they were very gracious to let me see them, and I hope that they let them again. Absolutely I would love to see Kai. I mean in that vision, and he's gorgeous and he's got really long hair and he's just so beautiful and I would really like to see him. And of course I had my shot and I blew it right because. But you did get you did get to Seota Lali though, which is fantastic. But yeah, I get that that would be a thing where I'd be like, well, maybe maybe I can see Kai too, you know, so your area I'm thinking of our conversation, and so you've got your interactions the family with the young child that was saying monster into the woods, and then you've got this other gentleman who's having interactions a few miles away. Have you looked to see if this area in Davy County just there's a lot of people that are having interact or are those the only ones that you've heard of so far in your area?

38:05 No, I was actually listening to Pine Box Tales not yeah, quite a while ago. Actually, It's like when I first started, and there was a group of kids that had a sleepover and they were out in the yard and something started messing with them, and they went out and there was a great sasquatch out there and they all ran into the house. I don't know if it chased them or whatever, but they when you know, I hear gray, I say, Okay, was that guy? Was that Scooby Doo? You know? Is that is that part of the family?

38:45 So many questions that And that was right in Davy County too. I don't know how far she lives. Okay, so that's cool. So that's cool, So you definitely know it's the same county. That's awesome. Wow, Yeah, yep. Yeah. I'm always alert when I hear a story of, you know, somebody's experience in the same county. Absolutely I would be as well, what do you think the most important lesson you've learned interacting with this family over the years has been. God's got to be patients. They teach so much, I mean all throughout the whole thing. Me and See felt like it was a learning lesson. The whole thing. It was just, you know, they'd take our tools and they'd hide them, and we'd have to have patience because even if we needed and we had to go looking for it.

39:46 And sometimes that we had a rape that was missing for weeks and it just showed up again. So I don't know what they needed it for, but I guess they borrowed it. So I think they borrow things and then they bring them back. But they do seem to like bowls in pans and that kind of stuff, you know, which I'm sure they get water with maybe. But I finally bought I gave the dogs my big rice pot because I didn't because I didn't know if the dogs were lifting it or if they were lifting it. I had no idea. But they seem to stop trading. Was just good. But I leave them, but I bought a case of the nixed nuts. They were on sale after Christmas, and I got them for a bucket piece and I just dumped them out behind the shed on a pile of wood, and they come and get them. And I don't know if the squirrels take them too, but there's no way they could get into some of them. Those Brazilian enough are super hard, but they seemed to come and scoop them up. I've got one more bag left, but I haven't given them pork brands in a while, so I was thinking about buying them a bag.

41:17 I agree. The things that I hear, I mean I hear everything from like pork rinds things to a lot of like candy bars. I love candy bars here that all the time. Scott Carpenter would talk a lot about that a lot from Tennessee. Yeah, but. If you had, let's say, if there's people that are listening that, well, I know there's people that are listening and they have they're starting to have things happen similar to yours, where they might be noticing around things around their property or seeing things or even you know, experiencing things like you. Do you have any advice for people that are starting to get into situations like that.

42:07 Yes, don't panic, and you're not crazy. This stuff happens and it's just welcome it. They will be so open with you and they will start being little jokesters. Don't be afraid of it. I mean, I'm not going to say that we weren't afraid at some points. If you listen to the stories, you'll know we were. And when we got a little nervous, we went in the house and then it was kind of like a reset for the next day. And if you're going to feed them, don't sustain them. Just think of it as a costco sample.

42:55 When we first started leading things, I would take maybe twenty pork rinds and I'd stick them on the little nubby brand, you know, the branches, and I would just poke them in and then they would they'd all be gone. They'd go and try and but what I noticed is that after they accepted their little place where they get their things, nobody touches it. If they haven't been around in days, those little nubs will stay there, and you know, there's other little animals that have got to love them. Not even the bugs are on them, and that is a very wild thing. I think to find nothing else touches it, it'll stay. But I have given them when I cleaned out my pantry, I gave them dried fruits in almonds and they left the almonds for a long time.

43:58 That was just kind of weird to me. But eventually they took them. They must have liked them. I had a whole nother case of all means for them, but I was going to wait until I thought maybe they would appreciate them, because I don't know. Maybe they they didn't, but if they were smart, they'd bring them and stick them in for winter. Bring a bag exactly. Yeah, that's funny. It's it's a just a fascinating account of what you guys have learned over the years, what you're experiencing, what your neighbors are experiencing, and it's just the whole thing together is a really, really beautiful story. I hope that you're you're still able to, you know, have experiences in the future. It sounds like you're wanting those to happen, and maybe you'll have even your be even able to see kai, which would be fantastic.

44:54 But I'm to build trust with. Them, absolutely, Yes, That is a great reminder because I think so many people, including myself, are like, oh, yeah, you know, if I go out on one weekend a year, because that's what I can do in an area, I'm going to have this. But no, it's like it a lot of the time. You have to take the time to build a relationship and have them get. Comfortable with you. And that's just what I'm getting from different conversations I've had. But you're absolutely right, it's not you have to put the time in for sure. Yep, that's for sure. I mean just going out in the woods, you could be getting one that's not very nice.

45:39 Oh that's true. I didn't think of that before. You just get in the one that's like all right, let's go get them. Well, and they're not all good. And if you get a bunch ofs that are looking for trouble, which is usually what's out there when people are looking, go buy some land with you know, some woods around it and sit and wait. There you go, Yeah, some some woods. Bonus points if it's got some sort of some sort of water source. Or a really curvy. Creek that goes through it, that comes up the creek, the creek that curves comes up a ton in different accounts, but Sandy, I want to make sure that we were able to to it. Sounds like you were able to share everything that you had prepared for your your encounter so far. Is that correct?

46:37 I think you've got everything and I'm still outs and journals, so more things happen. I'll give you a buzz a going off grid the Sandy and Steve TikTok and YouTube. But I will tell you that I don't put big put stuff on there. It's mostly about being okay. The minder is the bigfoot stuff is in the book that you have released and. Want all the tales. Definitely read the book. It's right, I mean, it's on all well, it's about four hours long. It's not long, but it's kind of cool. They put sound effects on it and love it.

47:18 Oh, nice to check that out for sure. Wow, Amazon, good stuff. I'll have all those links in the show notes. Sandy, and thank you so much for spending some time with me over the last few days. It's been fun chatting with you, and I think I know my listeners will learn a ton from this. Habituation stories you can learn so much from, so thank you so much. I do really appreciate you hanging out with me today, Sandy. Sure, I love talking. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

48:26 If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.
