Season 1

A stormy midnight drive through Pennsylvania turned into one of the wildest encounters ever shared on Bigfoot Society. Captain Richard says he came face to face with a massive creature crouched beside a guardrail near the Allegheny River—only feet from his truck. He describes towering size, impossible muscle, tree-like camouflage, and hair hanging like dreadlocks.


Richard also shares earlier strange encounters from California and Illinois, mysterious giant footprints in Costa Rica, and why witnesses know exactly what they saw. This episode is intense, detailed, and unforgettable.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to BIGFA Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.160
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.119
So stay with us, all right, Big for.

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.880
Society, Welcome back to another episode. Today we have the

12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.719
privilege of talking to Captain Richard. Captain Richard is a

13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.920
outdoorsman nature guide boat captain. He's got decades of experience

14
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.679
traveling around the Caribbean, Central America, the United States. He's

15
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.799
had many things happened to him over the years. As

16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.359
we were just talking. If you're on YouTube, you can

17
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.280
see his background and you can see his many many

18
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.520
BMX trophies as well, and maybe we'll hear a bit

19
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.680
about that. But you are current BMX Racing Champion of

20
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.040
Ohio and Pennsylvania.

21
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.680
Correct, Yes, sir, very good, very good.

22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.840
Is there anything else that my listeners would want to

23
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.799
know about you before we get going here?

24
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.400
Well, possibly that I was a tour boat captain in

25
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.959
the Caribbean for many years. I was also a tour

26
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.079
boat captain in Costa Rica for many years. I'm an

27
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.319
experienced master diver, a photographer, a video video man, I

28
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.280
am cameraman. I'm union So I've had to travel to

29
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.239
a lot of different places filming and being involved in

30
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.640
stuff like that that might be interesting to them. I

31
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.239
speak several languages. I have experience in the ocean, in

32
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.959
the jungles. I know celestial navigation, I know stars. My

33
00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.760
family's all military. I grew up on military basis like that.

34
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.319
So generally I consider myself to be a serious and

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.479
qualified observer. So I state that just because a lot

36
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.120
of people wonder, you know, are what kind of qualifications

37
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.800
do you have to be an observer? As a captain,

38
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.400
I've learned to observe on radars. I've learned to observe

39
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.919
the sky, weather patterns, everything. It's not easy to pull

40
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.479
the wool over my eyes.

41
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.360
What would you say is the strangest thing that you've

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.639
seen in your travels over the years.

43
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:39.280
Ooh wow, make my hair stand up. I would say,

44
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.719
probably the thing that's scariest, the thing that sometimes haunts

45
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.280
me from moment to moment, was an experience I had

46
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.479
in the Punta Renas hospital on the west coast of

47
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:58.240
Costa Rica. My company, myself participating, had been doing a

48
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:04.479
telethon to raise money for a neonatal unit in that hospital,

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.800
and somehow I worked myself into a total exhaustion and

50
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.000
either picked up a virus like dangay or anyway. I

51
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.159
ended up in the dangay ward on the fourth floor

52
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.759
of this hospital, sorry, the eleventh floor of this hospital,

53
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.759
and I was there for about ten days. I actually

54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.719
ended up going into a coma. I had a real,

55
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.360
real hard time. And when I got out of that

56
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.840
one night, I was getting up to go to the bathroom,

57
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.280
and it was about two o'clock in the morning. I

58
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.240
got up to go to the bathroom and you come

59
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.159
out in the hall, and the bathroom's not in the room,

60
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.919
it's down the hall. It's ancient hospitals. Everybody shared it,

61
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.240
but nobody was up. So I get up and I

62
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.879
go out into the hall and you know, how you

63
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.560
do you look left? You look right? I was cash

64
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.759
about my getting up, no big deal. So I looked

65
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.599
to the right down the hall and about fifty sixty

66
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.560
feet down the hallway, at the very end of the

67
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.159
hallway was but I can only describe as a giant, black,

68
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.240
upside down tiar It was had a point at the bottom,

69
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.080
and it was tear drop shaped, and it went all

70
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.520
the way to the ceiling and its point went almost

71
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.720
to the floor, and it was a completely black, pitch

72
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.319
black something. I don't know what it was. I just

73
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.279
know that as soon as I looked at it, even

74
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.319
though it didn't have any eyes or anything, it felt

75
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.480
like it suddenly turned its attention to me. And that

76
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.839
thing flew down the hallway and literally impacted me like

77
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.600
a truck. And instantly I was in blackness that I

78
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.920
was just I was so angry. I said, you, son

79
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.959
of a I'm gonna kill I just went into some

80
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.079
kind of survival fighting mechanism. But it it it was astounding,

81
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.480
and it dragged me down the hall and and I'm

82
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.160
struggling and fighting with this. I couldn't see my body,

83
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.879
I couldn't see anything. It was instantly in just pure blackness,

84
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.560
and then I woke up in my bed the next morning.

85
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.000
I had no clue how I had gotten there, and

86
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.800
I even doubted that I had had that occur to me.

87
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.639
But what sealed the deal for me was that on

88
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.680
my discharge a day or two later, I got a

89
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.120
debriefing by somebody in that hospital as a Catholic hospital,

90
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.680
and they had some doctor that's in charge interview me

91
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.680
before I left. He's a psychologist or psychiatrist, I think

92
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.120
that was his profession. And he talked to me for

93
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.720
a little while and then at the end, I said, listen,

94
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.879
I got to tell you something. I had the craziest experience,

95
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.040
and I told him, I said, this is what happened

96
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.480
to me. And he sat back in his chair and

97
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.720
he said to me, he said, oh boy, you got

98
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.000
a problem. I said, what do you mean? He said,

99
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.959
you have to go to the monseigneur because you need

100
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.199
to be exercised. I'm like, what are you talking about.

101
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.319
He says, no, no, no, this is real. This has

102
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.879
happened in this hospital before, and you should go to

103
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.720
the monseignor. Well, I was like, whatever, you know, I'm

104
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.120
immune to this. Well no, I was not immune to it.

105
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.240
I had horrible itching, burning sensations on my skin. Every

106
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.279
night I would go into hives. And I'm talking this

107
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.439
lasted for almost six months that I was sick from

108
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.839
whatever happened there. Now, that hospital was getting condemned, so

109
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.959
there were holes in the ceiling and literally pigeons were

110
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.000
flying in and out of that place. They'd fly down

111
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
the hall sometimes. So I figured I just picked up

112
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.519
some mites or some lice or something, and I took

113
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.480
medicine for it. I took iver mect and I took

114
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.600
a bunch of stuff for it, and nothing, nothing, nothing

115
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.959
affected it. And at some point I ended up talking

116
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.959
to Costa. Rica's kind of a weird place. You never

117
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.000
know who you're going to run into. And I ended

118
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.160
up talking to a woman that was on television with

119
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.439
another lady being interviewed about the forest and shamanism and

120
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:19.439
stuff like that and nutrition. And she she's the one

121
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.680
that told me. She said, oh wow, she heard my

122
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.160
story and she's like, no, you need this and this

123
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.199
and this, and what she did was she put essential

124
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.879
oils on me. She got a cedar oil, a lemon oil,

125
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.639
and she put them on the back of my heel

126
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.920
and she puts some lemon oil on the back of

127
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.319
my ear, on my hand. I can't quite remember, and

128
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.959
I kid you not that it she didn't come back.

129
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.879
It left that very day.

130
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.920
So it was.

131
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.519
Humbling because you know, as a scientist or a would

132
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.800
be scientist, I consider, you know, I need facts. I

133
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.279
need facts, and I don't have a fact about how

134
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.480
this works and what's really going on. I mean, one

135
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.160
thing's to have your idea of spirituality, but another is

136
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.879
to have some be attacked by something and have something

137
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.600
in you and you know it's there. That it's not

138
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.000
a normal parasite like a worm or a fly or

139
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:12.399
something like that. It's literally, oh man, I'm telling you,

140
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.720
I cannot believe it still that I went through it. It

141
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.360
was absolutely horrible. I would scratch my skin off, and

142
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:24.279
it's horrible. So that thing scares me because I, you know,

143
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.600
I it doesn't matter where I'm at, I can look

144
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.720
around and I can be like, is that thing going

145
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.000
to show up again? Because it's pretty much the scariest

146
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.559
particular thing that I've I've experienced. I experienced that. What

147
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:44.480
year was that? That was around two thousand and fourteen

148
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.399
or so, somewhere around somewhere around there. But I've had

149
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:54.120
I've had other other encounters, but mostly as a child,

150
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.879
as a kid, and I don't know. I'm sixty two now,

151
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.759
so as a kid, I look back and I don't

152
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.519
It's not that I don't believe they happened, but it's

153
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.399
a little bit different when something happens very recently. The

154
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.879
same thing goes with this bigfoot sighting. When I was

155
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.519
a kid, I had a couple of what I would

156
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.559
you know, I don't know. I don't know what they were.

157
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.559
I would term them like not to get off on

158
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:24.200
a tangent, Jeremiah. But when I was a kid, I

159
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.519
like in sixth grade, I was getting ready to move

160
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:34.000
to from California to Illinois, and I didn't want to

161
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.320
do my school work. I didn't want to do my homework.

162
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.879
I was getting harassed in school. It was a real pain.

163
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.360
So I decided and I was getting bullied and I'm

164
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.360
not going to be bullied. I mostly if I get bullied,

165
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.159
since I've been through so many different schools, I know

166
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.000
how to handle bullies. And if I go to a

167
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.720
school and I'm getting bullied, I'll be like, well, I

168
00:09:55.799 --> 00:10:00.720
better save my violence for an absolute. You know, a

169
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.720
situation that can't be denied, can't just go off like

170
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.919
a bomb the first day. You have to kind of wait, right,

171
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:12.000
But I decided that I wouldn't get into fights. So

172
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.399
as soon as the school bus would pull up to

173
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.600
the school, which is in California, and I think the

174
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.080
school was called Deer Park School. I'm not sure. It's

175
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:26.039
in a Bay area, Fremont, Fremont Bay Area, but the

176
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.200
bus would go up into the mountains and I would

177
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.480
be up there. As soon as the school bus would

178
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.240
pull in, I would get out with everybody normally, but

179
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.519
I'd run around the back of the bus and then

180
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.279
I would go up into the hills. I would shoot it,

181
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:40.879
go under the fence and I would be lining up

182
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.360
to the hills. And I would stay up in this

183
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.399
little pine grove up there all day long.

184
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.559
Until the bus came again.

185
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.519
Sometimes i'd sleep a little, but mostly I would just

186
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.000
hang out up in the woods there. And I did

187
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.960
that for about three weeks, and then one day I

188
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.799
saw something peaking from behind a tree, very large, dark thing.

189
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.000
It would it was.

190
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.720
At first I didn't know what it was that I

191
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.559
just saw a black spot up there.

192
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.840
In the woods.

193
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.200
About maybe I don't know, a couple hundred feet away

194
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.360
at the very most, like about as far as from

195
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.080
the front of your house to across the street to

196
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.200
the next house across the street, you know, not mansion distances,

197
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.720
but just typical like maybe a hundred hundred and fifty feet,

198
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.480
so a little bit bigger than a person.

199
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.399
I got caught. I caught that thing looking at me,

200
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.320
and I was like, what, what the heck?

201
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.840
And and at first it didn't move, but then it

202
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.279
duck back behind the tree. That was the end for me.

203
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.480
I ran, I ran out of the woods. Bus wasn't

204
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:45.840
I ran? I was like, holy cow. So that ended

205
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:51.200
my time running away from the school classes. And that

206
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.759
was one time that I had when I was in

207
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.480
sixth grade. Then we moved to Illinois and I was

208
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.240
out in the country out there, and one time I

209
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.559
swear I saw something looking in the window of the bathroom.

210
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.759
It was a very high window and outside it was

211
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.039
probably about ten or so feet off the ground. I

212
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.759
was in there at night and I saw something kind

213
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.960
of block the light.

214
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:14.600
I looked and I.

215
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.559
Couldn't see anything. But when I looked it, I was

216
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.960
trying to look through glass block. I could tell there

217
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.200
was something really big and black standing outside looking through

218
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:27.440
the window, and that was only just inches. Why dang,

219
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.159
that scared a crap out of me too. But again,

220
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.279
but what I saw on the side of the road,

221
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.559
that was a way clearer, way clearer. So yeah, I've

222
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.080
had and I've seen a few other things, but this

223
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.600
what I'm here to talk about with you today was,

224
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.720
like I say, it was about last year in the summertime,

225
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.120
and a little bit different being I feeling like I'm.

226
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:59.639
Older and more balanced or more grounded, right or whatever

227
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.000
it is.

228
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.480
I'm more of but less likely to be fooled by something.

229
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.320
That's what generally I think. Oh I'm smart now.

230
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.080
Yeah, before I get into that, would you be able

231
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.159
to share what part of Illinois that happened in and

232
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:16.960
what approximate year that was.

233
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:21.879
Yeah, that was in the like around seventy eight or so,

234
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.759
and it was in the Markham Park areas where we lived,

235
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:26.960
country Club Hills.

236
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.080
It's a suburb of the Chicago Land area.

237
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.679
Okay, Yeah, fascinating and really all I have to hear

238
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.879
is nineteen seventy eight, And I mean there was hundreds

239
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.559
and hundreds of big Foot sightings all across the US

240
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.279
that year, so I am not surprised there were. You

241
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.000
can look into any state and you'll find crazy Bigfoot

242
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:51.399
sightings in nineteen seventy eight.

243
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.039
For some reason, there's something going on.

244
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.679
So that's very interesting, very interesting. Oh yeah, oh I remember,

245
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.960
I remember that about that year, if I'm not missing

246
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.159
there was a program that came out that was called

247
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.360
the Project blue Book Files, and it would be on

248
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.919
TV and I never missed it, and it was recreations

249
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.799
from Project Blue Book of basically UFO and alien encounters.

250
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.000
They didn't talk anything about Bigfoot, but there was a

251
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.840
few people on that program that would talk about stuff.

252
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.360
And one of the things I picked out of it

253
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.679
was to keep a log book. How to be an

254
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.320
observer and how to keep a logbook. And my dad

255
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.240
was a Navy guy. He worked on aircraft carriers. He

256
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.440
should have been a weatherman. But he had a really

257
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:36.399
great pair of Navy binoculars that were ten fifties and

258
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.200
he'd here, Richard, you know, use these, and so I would.

259
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.759
I would spend hours, and back then there's no internet,

260
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.879
you know, it's not like today where you can just

261
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.159
waste months sitting on a phone. You would have nothing

262
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.759
to do. So I would look at the sky and

263
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.080
I would go up to the top of the house

264
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.759
and I would get those binoculars out, and I had

265
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:59.600
my little notebook and I kept clues of everything, all

266
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.600
the differfferent stuff that was going on, And there was

267
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.840
a lot of crazy things going on there that now

268
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.720
that I look back, we're very likely the kind of

269
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.679
subject matter we're talking about. But once I was alert,

270
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.720
I guess basically, once I was alert to that, then

271
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.120
I started noticing different things. They weren't even UFO related,

272
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.799
you know, different anomalies, things like things looking in the

273
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.080
window or odd noises out in the fields.

274
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.480
So interesting.

275
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.399
And so you're saying, from what I'm getting so far,

276
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.240
one of the most impactful sightings that you had happened

277
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.679
just last year in Pennsylvania.

278
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:41.279
Is that right?

279
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.559
That's correct, That's correct. Yeah, okay, so this was this happened.

280
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.080
I don't remember the exact date. I could, I could

281
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:52.799
tell you the exact date. I just have to go

282
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.080
in to look at my photos and stuff like that

283
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.799
to see the date. But in a nutshell, it was.

284
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:02.600
It happened in the summertime last year, and I had

285
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.039
gone up to New York to work on a music

286
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.879
video and a documentary for a friend of mine who's

287
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:16.559
doctor danger. He's a Hollywood stunt man. He's been on

288
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.440
television a lot of times, and he's ancient. So he's

289
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.279
leaving the business. And so I went up there with

290
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.559
him to he's my buddy, to keep things moving and

291
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.759
to film and this and that. Well, it got really

292
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:38.000
stormy and I actually got suddenly very sick. I think

293
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.000
I got RSV is what I got. So I left

294
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.159
suddenly in pretty much the middle of a storm that

295
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.960
was approaching, and I left New York. I was in

296
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.519
that was in let me tell you the name of

297
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:58.759
the place. Oh, it's a race track. I can't think

298
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.399
of the name right now. Starts with an L.

299
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.640
Anyway, it's up by the capital of New York.

300
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.960
And I can't remember the name of that all of

301
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.920
a sudden, but it's just because I'm an old guy. Anyway,

302
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:16.720
So I'm up in the country there and I left,

303
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.720
and I was about seven hours away from from my

304
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.279
home here. It said seven hours when I put the

305
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.319
GPS in, So I was leaving New York. I got

306
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.000
off on an exit to get some gas, and the

307
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.079
storm got us really hard, and at that point the

308
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:34.039
GPS just.

309
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.599
Was garbage, and I had no clue.

310
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.240
I had no clue where I was, so I just

311
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.519
followed the GPS and it put me on a little road,

312
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.079
and I thought, Okay, I'm going to the highway. But

313
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.279
you know, about twenty minutes later, I'm still driving on

314
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:48.920
this little country road. I can tell in the mirror

315
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.200
of my truck that I'm going in the right direction,

316
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.920
but I have no clue where I'm going, can't get

317
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.400
the GPS to work, so I just stay on my road.

318
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.680
Right.

319
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.759
Well, it ended up being an aptly outrageous day. I

320
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.799
got way lost in the woods of Pennsylvania, way way

321
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.920
lost out there, driving around, got a dog worn flat tire,

322
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.839
and by the time I was coming out of the

323
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.559
woods to get onto Highway eighty, which was finally like

324
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.720
the highway that was rescuing me, it was by that time,

325
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.960
like almost ten o'clock at night, and I had been

326
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.079
on the road for maybe twelve or thirteen hours. My

327
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.200
total day was eighteen hours. I mean, it was outrageously

328
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:29.160
long day. And I was coming back on eighty, coming

329
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:34.839
west on eighty, about an hour out from Ohio's border.

330
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:39.119
And it was storming so brutally. It was just coming

331
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.000
down like a hurricane. And truck drivers, believe it or not,

332
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.559
crazy crazy truck drivers. I don't know what they're hopped

333
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.240
up on, but they started doing road rage. And I

334
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.319
had these several truck drivers banded together were One of

335
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.559
them passed me and turned on his rear trailer lights

336
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.480
and literally tried to blind me. Another guy almost ran

337
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.839
me off the road. So I said, this is insane.

338
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.680
I'm going to lose my life. So I got off

339
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:10.440
the highway in a place. It was about midnight when

340
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.359
I got off that highway, and I got off in

341
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.079
a park that was right before the Alleghany River east

342
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.319
of the Alleghany River. One exit east of the Alleghany

343
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.720
River on I eighty in Pennsylvania, Okay. And it was

344
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:28.240
about midnight at that point. And as soon as I

345
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:30.640
got off, I get off and it's just a rural

346
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.920
road with a little stop sign and left or right,

347
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.279
you don't know where you're going.

348
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.880
It's pitch pitch blackout.

349
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.359
Although there was starting to be a little bit of

350
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.599
a moon coming out, the storm was ending and it

351
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.039
got very very foggy, dense fog anyway, I get off

352
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.079
that road, didn't or I was. But I saw some

353
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.200
flashing lights under a bridge, and I went there and

354
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.599
it happened to be a state trooper and he was

355
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.000
surprised to see me. He told me, hey, the bridge

356
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.599
is out over there, so you got to go this way.

357
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.400
I says, I have no clue where I'm at, and

358
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.359
he says, well, just get back on the highway. I said, no, no, no,

359
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.440
there's road rage. They're giving me road rage. I was

360
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.839
actually really nervous that suddenly he was going to want

361
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.680
to go on the offensive and pat me down or

362
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.039
frisk Vinie or do something, because just can never tell,

363
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.599
you know. But he didn't, and he told me. I

364
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.119
told him I don't want to go on the highway.

365
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.319
I want to get home through the back way. And

366
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.920
so he said, well, you're going to have to go

367
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.880
through fifty one and down through here and then get

368
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.720
on to eighty one.

369
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.240
And so it's all country roads.

370
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.240
And it turns out that I was The fog came

371
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.559
in so strong the rain ended, but then it was

372
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.440
super p thick fog. It started getting broken patches. But

373
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.720
I'm going along. I'm leaving right. I left and I'm

374
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.480
going along a road that is right on the edge

375
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.839
of the Allegheny River, on the eastern shoreline of the

376
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.599
Alleghany River, but it drops down into cliffs, so you

377
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.160
can't see it. I've seen it in the daytime, and

378
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:58.720
it's a heck of a drop down in there. But

379
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.720
at that point there was broke and clouds and the

380
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.720
full moon was coming out and it was shining, and

381
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.400
I thought, oh, I'll be able to take a look

382
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.880
at that and see what's down there, just out of curiosity.

383
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.640
Right well, I couldn't see it, and I knew that

384
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.000
I was in the right spot because there was a

385
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:17.759
really long guard rail that was brand new, beautiful, bright

386
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.480
silver guardrail, and I knew that. I was like, Wow,

387
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.559
this must have been where the landslide was or something

388
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.960
happened here, because it was all brand new. It was

389
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.880
a long curving section of road that barely went downhill,

390
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:35.720
and on the left hand side was a large open

391
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:41.039
field and then forest, large meaning about half the length

392
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.359
of a football field. It wasn't a giant spot. It

393
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.960
was just kind of like a curving part in the road.

394
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.279
There little knoll that had it wasn't mode, but it

395
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.240
was a field, and then there was a bunch of

396
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.599
woods out there. So I'm coming around this curve and

397
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.279
I'm literally doing about at the very most fifteen miles

398
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.640
an hour.

399
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.839
I was really kind.

400
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.039
Of relaxed, just was so happy to be off of

401
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.960
the highway, so happy to be relatively close to home,

402
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.400
and I thought I was safe, and so I just

403
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.279
kind of relaxed and thought, I'm just gonna chill because

404
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.920
nobody's behind me or nothing like that. I don't need

405
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.880
to go fast. And it was so foggy, I didn't

406
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:24.759
want to go fast. So as I'm doing this curve,

407
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.000
it's curving to the left and it's going down and

408
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.759
I can see a little further away it's going to

409
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.920
go down into a gorge where there's a bunch of forest.

410
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.200
But along this area is this brand new guardrail, and

411
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.240
I was admiring it. I was admiring the construction and thinking,

412
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.759
you know, it's really good that in our country we

413
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.920
have this maintenance and you know you can have this

414
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:49.079
right safety. So as I'm going along this guardrail, I

415
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.599
notice a little further up, I'd say, let me, let

416
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.920
me be accurate. I'd say, maybe at the most a

417
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.559
couple hundred feet up. It looked like a big stink

418
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.440
and tree was upright against the guard wrail. Like, here's

419
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.839
the guardrail and there's this big tree sticking up over it.

420
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.240
Big tree, you know, maybe five six feet wide and

421
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:14.640
about looked like eight or nine foot tall. And I

422
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.480
said to myself, what is that? Why in the heck

423
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.640
would they leave a big stinking stump right next to

424
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.039
the guard rail. That's crazy. Somebody's gonna get killed on

425
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:25.480
that thing.

426
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.759
Right. Well, as I'm making the turn, I start to

427
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.000
notice the.

428
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:36.839
Side profile of this alleged trunk of tree, and it

429
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.200
was a different shape. It didn't look like a tree

430
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:42.279
at that point. It looked like a hunch, like something

431
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.960
hunched over. And I was like, what the heck is that.

432
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.079
I still hadn't, you know, made the conclusion that it

433
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:52.319
was a tree at that point. At first I thought

434
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:53.880
it was a tree because that was like the most

435
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.240
familiar silo wet I could think of. But then it

436
00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.359
didn't look like a tree, So I kept staring at

437
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.640
it right driving really slow. I'm driving really slow, like

438
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.720
I said, less than fifteen miles an hour, no gas

439
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.000
on the pedal, just coasting down this hill. Trying to

440
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.279
look over the guardrail, and then by that time I

441
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:14.960
was a lot closer to it, I don't know, maybe

442
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.400
within fifty sixty feet of it, when the shape is

443
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.920
changing and it's just looking like a mask now, and

444
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:24.759
I'm like, what the heck kind of tree is that?

445
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.960
How did they cut that off? How did that fall over?

446
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.359
Or whatever? Right? Whatever happened to it?

447
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.519
And I noticed at the top of it, instead of

448
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.640
looking like it was broken off or chopped off or anything,

449
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.440
it just looked like around it was rounded. It lost

450
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.079
its definition, and I was like, what the heck is that? Well,

451
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.519
as I focused in on that top rounded part, I

452
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:52.880
noticed underneath two bright white lines about this long each,

453
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.880
little bright white lines, and I was like, what the

454
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.200
heck is that? So as I look and I'm starting

455
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.279
at this point, it's really close to me, maybe thirty

456
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.960
five feet away thirty five feet at the most, and

457
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.680
I'm going real slow, and it's on the other side

458
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.359
of the guardrail, and I'm looking at this thing, and

459
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.920
I'm like, what is that? I look focusing in on

460
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:17.039
the white thing, and I'll be dog gone. As I

461
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:18.960
got close to it, I started to see it more

462
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.920
from a front face view instead of a profile. I

463
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:24.759
started to see the front of it and it was

464
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.359
right here, and it was a mustache. It was a

465
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.319
stinking mustache. And I was like, what the heck? And

466
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.519
that's what I noticed. That whatever it was had its

467
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.480
eyes closed. They had their eyes closed. Their nose was

468
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.279
almost invisible. It just looked flattened, as if it had

469
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.279
closed its nostrils, almost like a seal, does you know,

470
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.720
like it closed their nostrils and everything's closed off. Didn't

471
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:57.319
see eyes, didn't see like this prominent brow ridge like

472
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:01.839
they talk about. Didn't see any of that. But I

473
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.519
saw that mustache. And I couldn't tell if it had

474
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.920
been like like whiskers that had gotten pulled together, like

475
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.119
you know, a cat will kind of animals can kind

476
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:13.160
of pull their whiskers together, or they can spread them out,

477
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.480
you know. I don't know, but it looked like that.

478
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:20.400
It looked like something hiding, trying its best to hide.

479
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:24.359
But my headlights were right on it, right in its face.

480
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.359
And I'm talking thirty thirty feet away, and I'm still

481
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.119
getting close to this thing. And as I got really

482
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:36.960
close to it, it changed its posture as every it

483
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.359
seemed almost as if every time I looked at the

484
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.200
steel the steering wheel, and I looked up for a

485
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.359
second back to it. It was changing its posture. It

486
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:53.279
looked like it had gone from standing up to crouching. Okay,

487
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.440
it seems to me like when I first saw it

488
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.799
it was standing, but it froze as soon as my

489
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.279
headlights came around the curve and lit up on it.

490
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.359
Whatever it was looked like it froze. But then it

491
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.480
moved a little bit and moved a little more. And

492
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:11.319
by the time I got to it where it was

493
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.279
on the side of my truck and I was able

494
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.640
to look out the passenger window and out the windshield,

495
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.599
it had crouched down a lot more. It wasn't as tall.

496
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.279
It was crouched down next to the rail, and I

497
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.960
could see its head. It looked like it looked like

498
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.519
it had a bunch of dreadlocks. You couldn't really see,

499
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.200
but yet I did see the muscles and as I

500
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.759
as I had went by it, Kid you not, this

501
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.559
thing looked like the Hulk from TV.

502
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.839
It looked like that. I haven't watched those movies.

503
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.279
I'm not too much into sci fi fictions and comic

504
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.920
books turned real life or anything like that. I'm way

505
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.200
over that. But I have seen pictures of that hulk,

506
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.880
and it looks like a cartoon. I swear, like I've

507
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.079
heard other people say this thing looked like a cartoon.

508
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:04.039
It does.

509
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.799
When I saw it had muscles on top of muscles,

510
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:12.160
I mean, it was obvious. And now I worked cattle ranches,

511
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.319
I know what bulls look like. It pretty much looked

512
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:20.160
like the body of a Brahma bull, muscled, all muscled.

513
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.319
It was not a bull. Okay, it was not a bull.

514
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.319
I'm just saying that it had the muscle like a bull.

515
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.079
Like you could see its shoulders and you could see

516
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.039
and it didn't have a bunch of shaggy hair on

517
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.359
it either. It wasn't shaggy looking. It actually looked like

518
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.799
it had relatively short hair. And it was not black.

519
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.359
It was identical to the color of the trees. It

520
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.079
looked like a tree. It looked grayish like. I mean,

521
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.160
I know most people, if you're a kindergarten kids, you

522
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.279
might say, Okay, what color is a tree? Oh, what's brown?

523
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.000
Let's pick the brown crayon out and color it.

524
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.559
No, it's not brown, it's gray.

525
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.240
It looks dusty, grayish like if you really look at

526
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.599
a forest lit up at night, the trees don't look brown.

527
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.640
They look kind of gray. Maybe they're overexposed or whatever

528
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.759
it is, but they don't look brown.

529
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.480
They look gray.

530
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.519
And trees will have a texture on them too, And

531
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.319
this didn't seem to have a texture, but it had

532
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:24.319
pretty much identical color to a deer or a tree.

533
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.240
It looked like that. I mean, the first thought that

534
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.359
occurred to me, Jeremiah, was no, wonder people don't see

535
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:35.200
these things. This is beyond ridiculous, this thing. I mean,

536
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.839
I'm a scuba diver and a dive master, and I

537
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.359
take people on underwater tours and one of my biggest

538
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.640
values that I add to people touring underwaters, I can

539
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.200
spot cryptic creatures. Okay, I spot scorpionfish and all kinds

540
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.480
of camouflage stuff that's you won't see it. I mean,

541
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.680
even if you're right there on it. A scorpion fish,

542
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.480
for example, a stonefish. You can touch the thing and

543
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.440
you won't even know you're touching it. But if you're

544
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.240
an experienced underwater naturalist, you see them in a heartbeat.

545
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.279
Once you've seen them, you know what they look like.

546
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.920
They have symmetry, you can see a rock and it'll

547
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.599
have a very variety of varied modeling on it. But

548
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.799
a fish that's trying to look like a rock will

549
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.519
always have symmetry. You'll always see a left on the

550
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.880
right side, there's a mirror ring, for example. So I

551
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:27.839
noticed that on this bigfoot's face or whatever this creature was,

552
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.880
just as I'm passing it, I could see on the

553
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:37.480
facial hair a slight pattern like a cat, like a

554
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.519
house cat, like a typical the tiger striped gray and

555
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.319
black cats. Then when you look at them and they

556
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.440
kind of have like banding on their face, you can

557
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:50.079
see that their face has pattern too, But it's not

558
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.240
their skin, it's their hair. Right Like if a hair

559
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.279
grows with a little banding on it and then you

560
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.680
cover the body, it'll look like you got stripes. Obviously

561
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.480
you don't have stripes. It's just a hey, right, the

562
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:05.839
hair coloring. But this thing looked like literally looked like

563
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:11.200
a gigantic house cat kind of face. Not that it

564
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.920
was friendly looking. It didn't show aggression to me. It

565
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.960
didn't show its teeth or anything. It just closed its

566
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.160
face and just I can imagine like it's praying to

567
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:24.680
say please, don't see me, Please don't see me.

568
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.240
You know.

569
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:28.279
In fact, I know of animals that will do that.

570
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.119
They'll hide behind they'll hide their face even though their

571
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.519
body's not hidden. They figure, as long as my face

572
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.240
isn't hidden, you're not gonna spot me. It's almost as

573
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:39.440
if they have to make eye contact to acknowledge each other.

574
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.160
But this thing hid, it closed its eyes. I passed

575
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.480
right by it. I did not stop. I had no

576
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.240
intention to stop. When I saw that thing. I actually

577
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:50.599
didn't believe what I was seeing. It took me a

578
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:54.200
couple another mile or two for me to actually say,

579
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:58.119
what the heck because my mind went into some dialogue

580
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.519
inside where its it just it doesn't believe it. It's

581
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:03.880
just the oddest thing at that moment when your mind

582
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:06.559
can suddenly be like, no, man, me and you ain't friends,

583
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.960
and I'm just gonna consider this on my own and

584
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:10.079
talk to you later.

585
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.400
Right.

586
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.200
It's kind of like your mind checks out and makes

587
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:14.680
its own conclusions, leaves you alone for a little bit,

588
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.400
and you're like, what the heck did I see? And

589
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.119
by the time your mind reconnects with you, kind of consciously,

590
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.480
you're starting to believe, or at least listen more to

591
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.599
your mind, and my mind was telling me, man, what

592
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:28.880
we just saw back there. We're lucky we got away

593
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.559
from that. I thought, I thought it could be something

594
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:36.200
that was hunting. It seemed to me initial instinct was

595
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.799
it was waiting on the side of the road and

596
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.160
watching that field across the street. It blended in so

597
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.880
well with the guardrail. It just made sense. And there

598
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:48.039
was so many deer, and I think in that guard

599
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:51.720
on that side, I saw like three deer a couple

600
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:54.400
of deer up in the upper part of it that

601
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.119
were everywhere. There was deer everywhere, and I didn't really

602
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.519
know where I was at Jeremiah. So when I got home,

603
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.279
i'd retraced my steps on Google Earth, and I saw, oh,

604
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.799
that's all Pennsylvania game lands all throughout there. And I

605
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:10.880
kid you not, within an hour span of time, I

606
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.839
must have seen fifty or sixty deer. They were everywhere, everywhere,

607
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.480
And that's what I think that creature was doing. The

608
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.279
one thing I can't tell is what that was. I

609
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.799
can't tell.

610
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.759
I don't know what it was.

611
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.960
I wouldn't even dare say it was a big foot

612
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.759
at this point, except the fact that something that looks

613
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.720
like it's about ten or eleven feet tall.

614
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:34.160
Must have a big foot.

615
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:36.599
It's my lag.

616
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:42.400
I just but this thing was massive, massive. I would

617
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.039
kid you not. I would estimate it at around one

618
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:51.559
thousand pounds. It was absolutely massive, massive, had lots of muscle.

619
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.720
It was obvious it was a creature. And if I

620
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.279
was to put my own take on it, my own

621
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.680
name on it, it was kind of looked like almost

622
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.519
like a cross between a mountain lion and a gigantic

623
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:10.559
human being. It looked feeline like just because of those markings,

624
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.039
but the rest of it looked bigfoot like, including the

625
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:19.320
big head with its bunch of dreadlocks, and the arms

626
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.639
and and just the overall posture of the body was

627
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:31.880
human like, but not just a massive holy cow. Anyway,

628
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:34.000
I had just got a camper and I thought, I'm

629
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.519
gonna be doing a lot of camp, but I'm gonna

630
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.599
go Nope, nope, it's over. I took that camper, I

631
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:41.159
parked it. I haven't messed with it. I haven't even

632
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:41.880
looked at the camper.

633
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.320
I kind of.

634
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:47.960
Associate, wow, no, it's over, it's over. But that that

635
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:53.000
thing really scared me. And to add to my other experiences, right,

636
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.760
it was the closest that I've ever been to one,

637
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:01.039
because I was literally between my driver's seat the guardrail

638
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.320
outside and it was right there. So I'm guessing at

639
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.800
the most fifteen or twenty feet from me that I

640
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.800
could see it. Some people have asked me, did you

641
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.280
think about taking a picture? I'm like, no, I'm not

642
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.519
taking a picture. I first of all, I had my

643
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.079
phone on the charge on the GPS trying to get

644
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.320
it to charge, and it was eating up the signal

645
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.599
and it was dead. And my phone really wasn't working.

646
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:27.239
It wasn't like I could just grab it and shoot pictures.

647
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.239
You got to do all that swiping and all this

648
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.840
clicking of the buttons and swiping to get the stupid

649
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:35.360
camera where it's not like you just click. And I've

650
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.320
tried to leave my camera on standby so that I

651
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:41.599
could film things. You can't do it with these With

652
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.480
these telephones, you know, you got to literally take the

653
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.199
phone out, turn it on record, and then walk around

654
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.280
expecting something to happen. It just doesn't happen. And I've

655
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.159
taken pictures of stuff. I've seen plenty of UFOs and

656
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.000
I've taken lots of pictures of stuff, and I've attempted

657
00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.360
to drill myself and be ready for pictures since I'm induction.

658
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.719
I would just love to get something really good on

659
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:07.280
TV someday, but it doesn't happen. It's really really hard.

660
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.960
That's why I admire anybody that gets any kind of shot.

661
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.559
And I know people talk about, oh, that's a blurry shot.

662
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.039
It must be a big foot because it's blurry. I'm like, yeah, right,

663
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:16.719
because you just don't know what it's like to try

664
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:18.719
to take a picture of a creature that suddenly appears

665
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:21.840
out of nowhere, even a bear. Show me your pictures

666
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.599
of a bear or even a deer, get something common.

667
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.639
Try that. That's even super hard.

668
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:31.400
Oh sure, I mean, and I've experienced that with you

669
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:35.760
drive by a bald eagle. It happens in seconds. There's

670
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:37.360
no way you're going to get your phone out to

671
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.239
take a picture of it. It's already gone, you know.

672
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:43.800
But you said something that has only come up, I

673
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.599
would say two or three times over the years, and

674
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:52.599
it was very interesting. You mentioned that it looked like

675
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:56.000
you had dreadlocks, and that has come up only a

676
00:36:56.039 --> 00:37:01.519
few times. It's usually out in Oregon. Remember any details

677
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.760
about was it just the look of what was it

678
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.320
exactly that that made you think that it had what

679
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:10.719
looked like treadlocks.

680
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:14.599
Well, first of all, I have long hair.

681
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.079
I got long hair myself, and if I don't take

682
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.760
care of his hair, it just forms like a shield.

683
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.360
It just balloons out and it comes to the sides.

684
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:28.159
It doesn't just hang straight. It comes to the sides

685
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.119
and it's all kind of curly and locked up, and

686
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.559
it looks like a shield or a helmet. And that's

687
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.519
what it looked like to me. Like it did seem

688
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.000
to have a little bit shaggier hair on that part.

689
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:44.800
It wasn't like the skin on its shoulders, which looked

690
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.079
very fine. It looked like a very short nap.

691
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:50.280
Maybe.

692
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:54.480
I mean, it definitely wasn't flowing. It's not like seeing

693
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:57.880
the difference between an Irish setter, which with long flowing hair,

694
00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:00.639
it'll be smooth, but you can tell there's long hair

695
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.880
there versus let's say a greyhound, which is also smooth,

696
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.599
but you can tell the hairs are really short. You

697
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:11.000
see what I mean, Just because something's smooth doesn't mean

698
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.400
the hairs are long or short. You kind of have

699
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:17.800
to see that texture and the texture on this creature

700
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.719
was just like a deer. It looked like a deer.

701
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:25.000
It was smooth. It looked like a mountain lion. Like

702
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.840
if you look at a mountain lion on a video

703
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.320
or see them in a picture, you can tell they're smooth,

704
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.519
but they don't have long, bushy hair. It's not like that.

705
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:35.920
This thing did not have long bushy hair. But its

706
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:40.599
head appeared to have a long, overgrown head of hair

707
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:44.800
that draped down onto its shoulders. So I couldn't see

708
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:47.360
if it was big muscle, if it had big muscles.

709
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.840
Right here, it just looked like one big muscle, just crazy.

710
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.159
But all the hair was still the same color. It

711
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.880
wasn't like it was a different color. It was all

712
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.320
the same color of the body. In one hand, it

713
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:05.360
could look almost monolithic, like it didn't even have hair.

714
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.360
I was just fortunate, I guess, because I was super

715
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.440
close to it and I could I could see locks,

716
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.159
curly locks all packed together.

717
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.760
Can't imagine that did it?

718
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.840
So first, how many seconds do you think the whole

719
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.280
experience took as you drove by.

720
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:27.159
Oh, I'd say from the very second that I saw

721
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:32.440
it in the distance, maybe around half a minute, maybe

722
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.039
a little little more than half a minute total time.

723
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:42.000
Total time at the most, maybe sixty sixty or seventy seconds,

724
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:46.440
is my guess. That could be to not exaggerate now

725
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:49.920
how it felt to me. I mean, you can pack

726
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.400
a lot of feeling and conclusions into a single second

727
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.079
of analysis. It just happened to like lightning. Your mind

728
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.400
is going so fast, So you have this stream of

729
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.519
consciousness going, and I'm listening to my own inner dialogue.

730
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:05.519
At that point, I was quiet, but I could hear

731
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:08.199
my mind saying, what is that? And that looks like this,

732
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.199
and it's spitting out information. But I couldn't choose what

733
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:14.840
was real about that information yet. I couldn't you understand

734
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:18.000
what I'm saying? Your mindfully? Yeah, yeah, your mind. Your

735
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.639
mind starts throwing ideas at you, and if you're smart,

736
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:24.840
you kind of know this is not a conclusion yet,

737
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:27.280
just because your mind is spitting out look it's red.

738
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:28.880
Look it's this, it's that, it's the other.

739
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.599
You might find afterward by examining those memories that you

740
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:35.199
were wrong, For example, about the color red. Your initial

741
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.519
impression might be it's red, but then you see it

742
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.480
and it's not. It's orange or brown or something like that.

743
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:44.679
So I hadn't had conclusions drawn about what my mind

744
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.840
was saying yet. I just know that it went into

745
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:51.920
a monologue and started spitting out. It started talking like

746
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.000
that's this, that's that. It got nervous. I noticed that

747
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.840
my mind itself got nervous. And I wasn't nervous. I

748
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:03.360
was calm. Just suddenly started its thing, almost as if

749
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:07.159
it well, it definitely saw something that worried it. I

750
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.159
personally wasn't worried. I I had no clue what was

751
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:15.079
coming up, but my mind certainly started its thing immediately

752
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:16.880
like hey, I'm here to protect you, and that's this

753
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.519
that the other end, you know, started to give me

754
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.320
recommendations like keep driving.

755
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:23.960
Exactly.

756
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:28.679
And I don't know what that is or or how

757
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.199
to explain that, but you know, I've heard something similar

758
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.079
to that told, you know, hundreds of times, and I've

759
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:40.079
experienced something like that myself, where you know, out in Oregon,

760
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:44.000
drove past the pine tree and saw silhouette of a

761
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:47.760
bigfoot in the ivy and then it disappeared, and your

762
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.320
mind just starts freaking out, like what did what?

763
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:51.840
What just happened?

764
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:52.000
You know?

765
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.559
I just you can't explain it. But no, going back

766
00:41:55.599 --> 00:42:00.599
to your your experience in Pennsylvania, were we to see

767
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.280
did it have any emotion to its face as you

768
00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:06.840
drove by it or was it would it be hard

769
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:08.719
to see that because of what it was doing.

770
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:12.760
Right, I mean, the biggest emotion that I got, the

771
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.480
biggest impression that I got, was that first of all,

772
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.719
it was like, I do not want to be seen.

773
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:22.480
That was the overall feeling that I got. Because it

774
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:25.440
didn't run away. I don't think it could have run away,

775
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:28.039
because I believe that along that guard rail is a

776
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.000
massive cliff and it just goes boom to the bottom

777
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:31.400
of the river.

778
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:32.400
And I'm talking massive.

779
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:37.079
It's probably a couple hundred foot tall, and so it

780
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:41.000
couldn't run away. But what it looked like it did

781
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:45.280
was just I mean, the very minimum reaction it had

782
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:48.480
was I don't like headlights in my face, right, Like, oh,

783
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.159
it's just like, oh you know, I got my headlights

784
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.079
in its face. I imagine if I was out there,

785
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.000
I'd be like, oh god, I mean, how could you

786
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.360
even hold your eyes open when the headlights are flashing

787
00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:01.320
in your face like that? And the other odd thing

788
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.679
about it was that there was fog, and my headlights

789
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.960
had this weird effect where they made a halo of

790
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:12.000
light all around. It wasn't as if the headlights were

791
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.440
penetrating and going a long distance. They made a bubble

792
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:18.320
around me that was all lit up with all the fog,

793
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.079
and so as I got really close to it, it

794
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:25.719
seemed like the reflected light from everything lit him up.

795
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:29.159
Actually even gently. As I passed the side of him,

796
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:31.840
where my headlights weren't even pointed at him anymore, I

797
00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:35.480
could still see him clearly because it was just it

798
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:40.039
was all lit up around me with the fog. But

799
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:44.320
that would be my general idea was that it was hiding.

800
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:48.480
It definitely did not feel threatened, because I think if

801
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.639
it had been threatened, it would jump over the rail

802
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:52.679
and run, or maybe it would have jumped down onto

803
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:56.840
something that I couldn't see, or even crouch down more. Well,

804
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.039
I don't think it could crouch down anymore, because what

805
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.199
I saw when it went by was I saw its

806
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.400
knees up at its chest. It looked like it literally

807
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.519
squatted down and just sat there and hunkered. I don't

808
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:12.119
think it could hide its head anymore, because it looked

809
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:15.639
like it was like he had put his jaw, his

810
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.239
chin to his chest and was kind of just hiding

811
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:23.360
like that, eyes closed. He didn't put his hands over

812
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:26.159
his eyes or nothing like that. It just kind of

813
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:31.239
did like this. But other than that, I don't think

814
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.400
it had any other emotion other than ah, here comes

815
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.440
another stinking car, you know, and should I hide? I

816
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.599
don't know why they know to hide, but maybe it's

817
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:43.199
just a natural reflex. I mean, like, what would we

818
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:46.239
do if we were nocturnal creatures and somebody suddenly came

819
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:48.840
with lights. You might want to freeze. That might be

820
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:53.360
a good, good, you know, strategy until they leave. I

821
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.639
think that happens a lot. And honestly, if it hadn't

822
00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:59.199
been in that exact spot, there would be no way

823
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.360
I could have If they had been in a wooded.

824
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.320
Area, forget it, Yeah, you would have seen, there would

825
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:04.800
have been.

826
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.840
No It could be right next to the road too.

827
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.639
It looks so much like a tree.

828
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.039
I mean, you could basically take the color of a tree,

829
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:13.360
in the texture and bark of a tree and print

830
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.239
it on a pair of pajamas and put them on.

831
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.119
That's kind of how you'd look, just like a stinking tree.

832
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:27.360
So sometimes witnesses when they have a visual encounter, they

833
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:34.079
will then take what they have seen and experienced and

834
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:36.360
they'll say something to the effect of, you know, just

835
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.039
it felt like it was really human, or it felt

836
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:41.679
like it was really ape like from what I was

837
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:46.119
able to see, from what you experienced. Are you leaning

838
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:49.079
in either of those directions or would you say something

839
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:50.519
maybe even different?

840
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:55.360
Wooh, definitely I think I would say something different. Okay, yeah,

841
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.840
I would. I would definitely say something different, because well,

842
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.880
my first impression was that no, this, if this is human,

843
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:06.079
we're in a lot of trouble. We're in way more

844
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:10.400
trouble than we'd ever imagined as a society, because I mean,

845
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:14.239
what's the step between that a human like that being

846
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.000
just one? There's obviously more and when are they going

847
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:19.920
to make themselves actually known or do they or you know,

848
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.199
I mean, there's a lot of disappearances of people, a

849
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:26.880
lot of disappearances of animals, and we don't have you know,

850
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:31.320
pretty much practically zero knowledge about those anomalousts disappearances.

851
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.199
People just go, we don't know what it is.

852
00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:36.519
We did it, we'd investigated, and that's I mean, considering

853
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:41.159
everything that we have nowadays and all of the conclusions

854
00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:43.679
people get about how civilized we are and how safe

855
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.119
and all this and our electronics and our it don't

856
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:49.159
take but five seconds to get to the conclusion we

857
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.880
have no clue what that is. So obviously, you know

858
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:55.960
you can't you can't rely on our even our technology

859
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.760
in our society to give us answers. But my general

860
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.519
inclusion about that was, no, it's not human. If it is,

861
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:08.119
it's the craziest experiment that you could imagine. I mean,

862
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:10.960
like again, the only thing that I could say that

863
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.280
comes even close to it is is the Hulk, where

864
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.719
you know, they inject a normal human being with something

865
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:20.440
crazy and he turns into an absolute monster. But you know,

866
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:25.079
if this was something like bodybuilders could do, it'd be ridiculous.

867
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:27.480
You know, you'd have thousand pound bodybuilders, but you know,

868
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:29.639
you maybe three hundred pounds now, But this thing was

869
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:32.880
well over one thousand pounds. It was as big as

870
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:36.360
four or five human beings stood next to each other.

871
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:40.320
It was massive. It was massive. I mean, I'm saying

872
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.079
five feet, but honestly, it could have been even more.

873
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.760
But it was just huge.

874
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.360
And as far as like being an animal or anything

875
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:51.000
like that, I know, animals I've known animals since I

876
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.320
was a little kid. I grew up financial geographic, I

877
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.119
got straight a's on everything that was biology. I did

878
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.599
lots of extracurricular knowledge about him. I can tell you

879
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:03.360
pretty much. I don't care what kind of fish or

880
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.239
animal it is. I know what they are just I

881
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:07.960
can see the tail, and I can tell you what

882
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.400
it is, all right, I don't I don't need very

883
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:15.719
much information. And if this is an animal that is

884
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:20.679
unknown to us, which it very well could be, then man,

885
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.440
somebody's got to get out there. I got to get

886
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:26.519
out there and get make this official, because I mean,

887
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:29.559
I could believe in things that are completely not official. Nowadays,

888
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:31.880
I believe in plenty of stuff that's not official, and

889
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.320
I don't need anybody to tell me that's official.

890
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:35.039
Okay.

891
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.960
In fact, if it's going to be official, it'd be

892
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.960
a person like me that would say it's official, and

893
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.480
then the books would write it and say, hey, this

894
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:43.760
guy said he you know, that's that's how it is

895
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:47.639
in my case. But no, this is not an animal

896
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:51.039
that we've been talked to about or known about. I

897
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.360
would not dare to draw conclusions about what it actually was.

898
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:56.840
It could we don't know what it is. It could

899
00:48:56.960 --> 00:49:00.960
it could literally be an entity that is not even

900
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:04.280
really physical like we consider physical. Just because you see

901
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:07.920
it don't mean it's physical. It doesn't in fact, even

902
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:11.679
human beings, it's debatable whether we're truly physical or not

903
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:15.320
as well. So without getting down that rabbit hole, I

904
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:16.400
just got a notification.

905
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:22.039
So yeah, it said that there's browser issues.

906
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:23.679
I have gone ahead and.

907
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:29.679
I've started a backup recording on my soundboard, so I'll

908
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:33.800
at least have audio, okay, but yeah we can continue.

909
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:41.199
Yep, Okay, so I don't. In twenty fourteen February twenty fourteen,

910
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.360
I was in Costa Rica working on a series of

911
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:52.719
new episodes for Alien Hunter for UFO Hunters for History Channel.

912
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.039
Like I said, I have a production partner. His name's

913
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.599
doctor Danger, and he kind of turned me onto that

914
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:00.639
he came to Costa Rica one time, visited and then

915
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:03.599
after he left he knew some of my experiences and

916
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.679
he said, hey, let's keep an eye on whatever you

917
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.840
see and hopefully we can get something on TV at

918
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:11.440
some point in time. Well, at that point in time

919
00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:13.400
in Costa Rica, I got really gung ho into it

920
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.199
because I wanted answers. Myself and I got into meditations,

921
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:19.440
and you know all that, well, something came, A large

922
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:24.199
ship came. So when that ship came, it came at

923
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.760
three o'clock in the morning, and it landed on a

924
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.920
cliff above my house. I watched it do it. I

925
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:31.840
didn't see exactly where it landed, but I could see

926
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:34.960
the lights, and I was tempted to get on my quad.

927
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:36.639
In fact, I wanted to get on my quad to

928
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.400
go up there to see it at three in the morning,

929
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.920
but my partner at that time refused. She just absolutely

930
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:45.920
went crazy. So I stayed, but I went the day after.

931
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:48.639
I went up to the place to look around, and

932
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:50.840
I saw and I took pictures. I have the pictures

933
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:54.360
and I'll share them with you gladly. That mountaintop was flattened.

934
00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:57.480
Something just ground off the top of it, burned all

935
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:01.039
the vegetation around, left the gravelly sand there, and there

936
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:03.559
were footprints in it. There was a big foot footprints

937
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:06.920
there on top of that mountain top, several different sizes.

938
00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:11.400
But once once I saw that, I drew the conclusion that,

939
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:13.639
first of all, there's no way that we can assume

940
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:19.599
that a bigfoot necessarily lives where you see it. I

941
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:21.559
saw the first that one in Costa Rica and it

942
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:25.639
was associated with the landing of a Ufo. And that

943
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.880
makes me believe either they come with the UFO or

944
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:30.639
maybe when the UFO comes, they come out of the

945
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:31.440
forest and come.

946
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:33.719
Up to meet it. I have no clue. I have

947
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:34.239
no clue.

948
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:36.599
I've thought of a lot of ways to kind of

949
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.639
set up a situation where they could be filmed, but

950
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:42.239
until that happens, we can't really tell, you know, but

951
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:44.760
you'd have to almost do an experiment to see, like,

952
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:48.039
where is the origin of this creature? Is it kind

953
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:49.840
of like a tourist, you know what I mean? Is

954
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.719
it some kind of biological hunting suits some for pleasure,

955
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:55.639
you know? Is it some creature that lives in a

956
00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:58.639
computer that basically takes over, you know, some kind of

957
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:03.480
a dummy and then goes out and enjoys itself hunting

958
00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:07.199
and trapesing around. I don't have a clue, but honestly

959
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.440
would not jump to a conclusion that it's either a

960
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:12.079
bad spirit. I would not jump to that conclusion either.

961
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:14.800
I think that there's a lot of history that shows

962
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:18.119
that Indians and different people have had contact that have

963
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:22.599
been really interesting and educational from some and others they've said, hey,

964
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.960
that thing will kill you and eat you. So maybe

965
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:27.360
it's just like people, because there are people that are

966
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:30.199
very religious and nice and divine they would never think

967
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:32.519
of hurting a single soul. And then there's those out

968
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:33.639
there that want to eat people.

969
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:38.920
So oh sure, yeah, world, there's some weird. Yeah, every

970
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:43.119
society has its h it's outliers, I guess, I guess

971
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:44.960
you could say, right.

972
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.159
And even in the pet industry, you got a snake

973
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:49.079
that would normally try to wrap itself around you and

974
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:50.519
kill you and eat you, and then people are keeping

975
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:52.760
them as pets, and you got them on YouTube hanging

976
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:56.320
out with babies with toddlers. Here's my fifty foot Anacona

977
00:52:56.360 --> 00:53:00.159
with my toddler, and and and so there. I don't

978
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:03.559
believe in reaching conclusions here where I'm at in Ohio,

979
00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.119
I'm just across the border from Pennsylvania. I mean, I

980
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:09.119
could almost throw a rock to Pennsylvania, right, I think

981
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:13.039
it's like a couple of miles away, and we have

982
00:53:13.199 --> 00:53:17.079
here a rash of dog man sightings. I live right

983
00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:20.440
on Militrey now, I live right on the park, and

984
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:24.280
I've heard sounds out there. Of course I haven't recorded anything,

985
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:26.559
but I've heard them, Like when I'm sleeping and I

986
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:29.239
leave my window open. Sometimes you hear weird sounds out

987
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.159
in the woods. They aren't bears, you know you. Bears

988
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:36.920
don't go They don't do this, you know what I mean.

989
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.280
And even dogs don't do it. And so I live

990
00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:44.280
kind of in a hot bed of nature areas where

991
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:47.519
our nature areas have gotten shrunken down, and now they're

992
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:50.360
just tiny little corridors that basically run along rivers and

993
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:53.880
in between neighborhoods and along railroad tracks. So everything's packed

994
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:57.800
into these things, these little runways nowadays. And people think, well,

995
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.719
wait a minute, my neighborhood's right here, there can't be

996
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:02.239
nothing out there. Well, let me tell you there's still

997
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:04.800
stuff out there. There's holes in the ground, things crawling

998
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:07.800
and out of them. I wouldn't jump to a conclusion

999
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:11.599
yet about anything about these creatures about like, oh, that's

1000
00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:14.440
an endangered species that lives in our woods and has

1001
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.039
been here. We don't know it could come out of

1002
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:19.960
the ground. There could be creature societies of them underground.

1003
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:25.159
We know, especially in Ohio where around me there's lots

1004
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.039
of coal mines that are abandoned, and you know, what

1005
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.239
can you say? And then there's the forest that normally

1006
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:34.840
has its own holes that go places that haven't even

1007
00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:35.679
been discovered.

1008
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:38.360
I would draw conclusion.

1009
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:42.719
I really really would not draw conclusion based on just

1010
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:44.559
you know, oh, it's must be a human or it

1011
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:49.800
must be a animal. No, I can't draw that conclusion.

1012
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:53.800
And I've, like I said, I had other experiences. So

1013
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.960
for pretty much most of my life, I've been cataloging

1014
00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.960
mentally my own experiences and trying to draw a conclusion

1015
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.119
about what is the nature of reality that this is

1016
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.079
possible in spite of the fact that we have our

1017
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.719
alleged scientists saying this is physically against the laws of nature.

1018
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:12.800
I don't really care about laws of nature anymore or

1019
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.320
what any authority says about this is against the laws

1020
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:18.239
of physics, because I have seen so many times that

1021
00:55:18.280 --> 00:55:21.199
this alleged law physics people go, we can't explain it

1022
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:23.239
according to our laws of physics. Well, when are you

1023
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:25.519
going to finally realize that you can't explain it then

1024
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:27.760
and just say it and just drop your idea that

1025
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:31.119
you're even your law physics is some kind of complete worldview.

1026
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.280
It's a bad paradigm.

1027
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:36.039
It doesn't include ghosts, it doesn't include intuition, it doesn't

1028
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:39.800
include anomalies. Give me a break. It's not a complete model.

1029
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.079
So I've abandoned pretty much any of that. I mean,

1030
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.880
it works for if you're into manufacturing. I'm into manufacturing,

1031
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:48.079
so I can deal with physics for knowing, you know,

1032
00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:50.840
what's the tempted are my plastics? And what's the hardening

1033
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:52.960
and stuff like that, or you know, does this burn

1034
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:55.760
a human being? It'll burn you if you touch it,

1035
00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:59.360
because that's physics. But as far as drawing a conclusion

1036
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:01.119
about these nomalies.

1037
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:06.760
No, no, it's it's definitely all This is, as I want.

1038
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.000
I want to say, one of the last great mysteries

1039
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:10.960
of the world. It's not just something you can look

1040
00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:14.000
up online or in a book. That's that's why I'm

1041
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:15.440
drawn to it, and I think a lot of other

1042
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:16.719
people are drawn to it too.

1043
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:20.199
But you know, Captain, yeah me as well. Yeah, absolutely,

1044
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:20.639
I mean that.

1045
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:22.719
The whole reason I participated on this show, and the

1046
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.880
whole reason I watched this programming and support your work

1047
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.599
is because I genuinely believe that whatever is there the

1048
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:34.360
neighborhoods that live around these areas. They need to be

1049
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:39.519
pragmatically informed. You need to not be panicking and freaking out.

1050
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:41.400
Now I'm gonna put a fifteen foot fence around my

1051
00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:44.840
arm with twenty million volts in it. That might not

1052
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:47.280
even help you. You might die on your own, you know,

1053
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:51.599
your own fence. But definitely, I think people should be aware,

1054
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.760
highly highly aware, Like maybe you don't want to take

1055
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.159
your garbage out at night, you know, like a Sunday night,

1056
00:56:57.199 --> 00:56:59.239
you're gonna take your garbage out. Maybe you're gonna say no, no,

1057
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:00.559
you know what, I'm just going to take it out

1058
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:03.000
when it's light out and not be freaked out, but

1059
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:07.039
at least be a little more cautious. Or if there

1060
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:10.280
are creatures out there and we can kind of map

1061
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:12.960
where they're at and know basically where they're at, where's

1062
00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:15.159
the last time that was reported, Well it was over there,

1063
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:17.679
So be aware, you know, like, don't let your kids

1064
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:19.960
go out playing out in the woods just because you

1065
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:21.840
don't want you know, here, the kids went out to

1066
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:22.519
the woods to play.

1067
00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:24.199
They do it all the time. We grew up that way.

1068
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:27.320
But then when your kid goes missing and you don't

1069
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:30.719
understand what happened. It could end up falling back on Hey,

1070
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:33.079
you ignored the fact that that bigfoot has been sighted

1071
00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:35.840
there twenty times, or there's been a dog band sighting

1072
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:38.079
in there. And they're like, well, if I had believed

1073
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:40.199
in that, I wouldn't have. You know, this is the

1074
00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:42.519
thing that you can't you know, what are you gonna do?

1075
00:57:42.519 --> 00:57:45.599
Wait till you get hurt to know about these things.

1076
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:47.519
And that's why I was always very alert and I

1077
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:50.239
uploaded what I uploaded. It wasn't for me to try

1078
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:53.480
to make a reputation or make money. It was more like, man,

1079
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:55.320
we all got to be alert because I mean, one

1080
00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:58.920
thing's having religious people go and you know, to people's

1081
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:01.559
houses saying Jesus is coming. But what if we say, hey,

1082
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.639
you know what, even way before he comes, something else

1083
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:07.280
is already here and we're not paying attention to that. Well,

1084
00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:09.960
I mean, I'm not religious, but I'm just telling you

1085
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:12.360
that religious people, more than anybody, they feel like they're

1086
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:15.360
the most alert people. And I think that they're whoever

1087
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:17.960
told them and founded their religions told them, you'd better

1088
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:21.079
be alert because you're gonna see weird things, and weird

1089
00:58:21.079 --> 00:58:23.239
things are going to happen, especially in the end times.

1090
00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:26.480
I don't know times means. End times might be the

1091
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:29.760
end of your ignorance, it might mean the end of

1092
00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:31.840
the world. I don't know what that means. But the

1093
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:34.679
end times were allegedly predicted that we'd see a lot

1094
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:37.440
of weird things and that we should be extra alert.

1095
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.880
I think the reason we have to be alert is because,

1096
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:43.360
for one thing, we know that the authorities, alleged authorities,

1097
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.880
are not going to inform us like we had expected.

1098
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:49.239
I had expected that the government was on my side

1099
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:50.840
and would let me know about stuff.

1100
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:51.480
Well, now I.

1101
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.320
Realized, guess what they're not. They're gonna learn about something,

1102
00:58:54.320 --> 00:58:55.880
but they're going to keep it a secret until it's

1103
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:58.360
good for them. And so that turned me into my

1104
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:02.079
own government. I govern myself health, I do my own investigations,

1105
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:05.119
I do my own research, and nobody stops me from

1106
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:07.519
drawing my own conclusions. So if I want to help

1107
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.519
somebody to understand my point of view and conclusions, hopefully

1108
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:11.920
that can help and give a little data.

1109
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:13.280
At this point, we.

1110
00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:15.920
Don't have any hair or fingernails, but we have this

1111
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:17.559
anecdotal evidence.

1112
00:59:18.239 --> 00:59:20.159
Exactly somewhere exactly.

1113
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:25.280
We don't have all the DNA answers yet, but hopefully

1114
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:26.559
Sunday we'll get that.

1115
00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:30.880
But yeah, the public, the public have a suspicion. The

1116
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:34.320
government definitely has all the evidence they need. They might

1117
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:36.079
have had the evidence so long that now they have

1118
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:39.199
their own private warriors that they've made with it. Who

1119
00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:43.199
knows where the conspiracies can go, but yeah, exactly, public

1120
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:44.679
definitely don't have that luxury.

1121
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:48.639
But Captain Richard, thank you so much for sharing what

1122
00:59:48.679 --> 00:59:55.760
you experienced just very recently out there in Pennsylvania, and

1123
00:59:55.800 --> 01:00:00.239
it's just it's another another data point to try to

1124
01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:03.440
figure all this out, as we were talking about, and

1125
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:08.679
please keep us informed if you do experience anything else

1126
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:11.519
out there in your travels, we would love to hear

1127
01:00:11.559 --> 01:00:15.440
about it. But thank you so much for coming on

1128
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:17.079
the show today. I want to make sure that you

1129
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:20.280
were able to share everything that you had come on

1130
01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:21.840
the show to share it tonight.

1131
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:23.320
Yeah.

1132
01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:28.400
Absolutely appreciate your work, Jeremiah, and many blessings to your

1133
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:30.679
channel and to the folks out there that are seeing

1134
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:33.559
or experiencing this. I think it's important for them to

1135
01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:37.679
not feel alone, because the real hard part is then

1136
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:39.920
telling somebody you saw it and they're just like, are

1137
01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:40.440
you sure?

1138
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:42.119
The first to know? Are you sure?

1139
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:44.440
I mean, I get why people are like that, but

1140
01:00:44.800 --> 01:00:49.239
it's hard on the experiencer. And I would say the

1141
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:53.519
biggest danger is that we really shunned the fact that

1142
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:56.800
there are experiencers out there that could tell us more details,

1143
01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:59.840
but we've marginalized them through some kind of gesture like

1144
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:03.480
you're crazy or some silly garbage like that. You know,

1145
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:05.920
we should not. This is why I think it's very

1146
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:09.840
important your platform and the other platforms too, that expose

1147
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:13.360
this because it's obvious that something's going on that we

1148
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:16.960
should be concerned about. So I appreciate it, and I

1149
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.239
do occasionally upload stuff, and I'll drive around sometimes the

1150
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:22.400
forest there at night, and I'll be glad to send

1151
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:24.639
you a link of anything I have.

1152
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.199
Thank you, thank you so much, and thank you for

1153
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:31.400
your kind words, and we will be in touch. And

1154
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:34.280
thank you so much for chatting tonight. Captain Richard.

1155
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:37.199
You're welcome, Jeremy. I have a great night, Chow.

1156
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:40.599
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1157
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:43.880
around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I

1158
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.880
would love to get out in those woods and experience it.

1159
01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:47.519
For myself.

1160
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:52.440
Well, guess what this year you can If this is

1161
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:56.880
interesting to you, stay tuned because it's pretty cool. Sasquatch

1162
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.840
Summer Fest is coming up July tenth through the eleventh,

1163
01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:04.719
twenty twenty six. It's gonna be even better than the

1164
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:08.679
previous year's reason number one, I'll be one of the speakers.

1165
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:14.760
It's gonna be wild. I'll probably I'll say this. There

1166
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:18.760
may be stuff you haven't heard anywhere else, because let's

1167
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:23.320
just say sometimes it's well, you just gotta be there.

1168
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:26.079
We'll leave it that more about looking for Bigfoot in

1169
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.320
the Oakridge Woods. Now check this out. You may know

1170
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:35.280
Jason Kenzie from his documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well,

1171
01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:39.000
this year you can not only go to the festival,

1172
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:47.239
but you can also sign up for a track deep

1173
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:50.599
in the wild forest outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie

1174
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:55.199
to the Bigfoot spots to look for Bigfoot. There's only

1175
01:02:55.239 --> 01:02:59.400
eight spots to sign up for this, and yes, this

1176
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:02.360
will also be filmed for the next chapter in his

1177
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:05.800
documentary series, which is Searching for Sasquatch. This is a

1178
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:08.199
once in a lifetime deal. It's just trust me. It's

1179
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:13.159

1186

Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope to see you at the

1187
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:48.000
booth in Oakridge this year. We can talk about your encounter.

1188
01:03:48.239 --> 01:03:50.599
Was able to talk to so many people last year

1189
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.840
and the year before. It is an incredible time. You're

1190
01:03:54.880 --> 01:03:56.599
not going to want to miss it, and I'll see

1191
01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:01.000
you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to

1192
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:04.239
say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

1193
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:08.199
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and

1194
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:11.199
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

1195
01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:14.320
if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's

1196
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:17.199
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

1197
01:04:17.239 --> 01:04:20.760
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

1198
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:24.360
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

1199
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.559
and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about,

1200
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.760
and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

1201
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:34.719
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

1202
01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:39.079
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

1203
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:42.239
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

1204
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:45.719
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

1205
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:49.639
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

1206
01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:53.000
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1207
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:56.039
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1208
01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:59.559
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1209
01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:03.360
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA or

1210
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:06.760
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1211
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:11.599
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1212
01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:16.880
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

1213
01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:19.760
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

1214
01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:25.559
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

1215
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:29.960
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

1218
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:38.480
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

1219
01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:41.400
is often Hiding just Beyond the tree Line. If you
