Our Bigfoot Society.

15
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.679
I've got the privilege of talking to Priscilla Rosmond Davidson

16
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.039
and Alisha Pfeiffer today. They are from the Area fifty

17
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.920
eight Museum out there in beautiful Oakridge, Oregon. Thank you

18
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.280
both for being on the show today.

19
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
Yeah, of course, thank you for having us.

20
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.960
I have been looking forward to this interview for a while,

21
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.239
as listeners will know because I talk about it incessantly.

22
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.439
I was able to go out to Oakridge this last July.

23
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.680
It was a life changing experience. It's crazy to think

24
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.480
it was only for a few days. It feels like

25
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.840
it was just forever. And then it feels like I've

26
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.599
known the people out there for years, but it really

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.719
hasn't been that long, which is just so it's weird.

28
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.680
It's a weird thing to put into words. I can't

29
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.680
really do it. But you guys have some really cool

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.640
stuff going on out there, and I don't want to

31
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.000
recap everything I've talked about, but we are going to

32
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.879
be talking about things that have happened since that time,

33
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:48.519
which was July seventeenth through the twentieth around there, give

34
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.519
or take some days at the end. But Priscilla and Alicia,

35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.760
what are some ways how would you describe what the

36
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.959
Area fifty eight Museum is all about?

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.159
Well, let me just.

38
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.840
Start with so I got a little piece of Peter

39
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.400
burn memorial items here that were donated to me from

40
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.400
Kathy Griffin, which was his life partner for the past

41
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:19.599
thirty years. With that being said, I wanted to add

42
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.199
that I'm a member of the International Wildlife Conservation Society.

43
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.599
This was what Peter Burn had founded, and we.

44
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:35.400
Are accepting charitable contributions to you know tax deductible contributions

45
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:41.439
to the peterburn Memorial College Scholarship Fund with the Oregon

46
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.240
Community Foundation, and it will help a student from the

47
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.639
Tillamook County area go to college. You can send tax

48
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.599
deductible donations to Oregon Community Foundation one two two one

49
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.000
Southwest m Hill Street, Sweet one hundred, Portland, Oregon, nine

50
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:00.879
two zero five.

51
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.240
But I have a bunch of Peter Burns items in

52
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:04.919
the museum.

53
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.080
I have his prints that he had found in the

54
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.719
Bluff Creek area in.

55
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.800
Nineteen sixty and I have a ton of.

56
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.560
His autograph books and then all kind of stuff that

57
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.840
he had gathered.

58
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.439
While he was in Nepal.

59
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.360
And then I have some items here on display from

60
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:34.080
Don Monroe that were donated and it was his artist

61
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.199
rendition of what he had ran into while he was

62
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.199
in Montana. And so we have the dog man that

63
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.400
he had seen himself and he had sculpted a clay

64
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.520
figure is here, and the Naha Man, which was an

65
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.879
artifact that he found while he was eight thousand feet

66
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.719
in elevation, and it was the original was donated to

67
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.719
another museum and I have a copy rendition of it.

68
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.159
So and that's on display here. My best museum piece

69
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.120
is the bigfoot knee impressions that were donated by Al

70
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.759
Moon Lab and whatever made these impressions, which you know

71
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.959
obviously it was a big foot weighed fourteen hundred pounds

72
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.000
and they've gotten hair samples from it, and I was

73
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.439
pretty exciting piece.

74
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:33.920
Yeah, there's some cool stuff to.

75
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.319
See, absolutely, I mean those knee impressions, and I believe

76
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.639
it was Toab Johnson that donated those to Area fifty eight.

77
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:42.079
Correct.

78
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.720
Yeah, that's one of the I am so excited to

79
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.920
see those in person. I'm a big fan of Toab

80
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.959
and you know that if you want to actually read

81
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.160
about those, you can, you know, read his book Al Moonlab.

82
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.480
It's just a fascinating story of how him and we're

83
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.879
involved with that. And to be able to actually you

84
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.959
can go to a place see things like that in person,

85
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.040
see so many different artifacts from Peter Burn, which you know,

86
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.680
some listeners might not be aware of who Peter was.

87
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.600
Peter was one of the very influential figures in a

88
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.959
big history back in the nineteen sixties. And to be

89
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.839
able to go to a place where, you know, down

90
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.800
in your area of organ where there's so many.

91
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.399
Artifacts it is very very cool.

92
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.040
I want to also make sure people are aware that

93
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.519
this isn't just a place where you can see different artifacts,

94
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
but you also have things that people can can purchase

95
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.120
as well, different Bigfoot related items or things like that.

96
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.399
What kind of things.

97
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.160
Do you have available for people to purchase in the

98
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:50.720
gift shop.

99
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.000
Yeah, so I do have a Bigfoot supply kit where

100
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.000
you know, it'll have plastercast material, you know, so if

101
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.839
you find prints that you can cast them a flag

102
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.879
so you can find it when when you.

103
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.399
Have to go back and you know, dig it up.

104
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:15.240
And then I have different things like EMF detectives so

105
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.480
you can you know, document if there's any other energy

106
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.240
around that you might not be able to feel yourself.

107
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.160
And there's you know, tweezers and vials and stuff so

108
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.480
in case you find hair samples. I have maps of

109
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:34.040
the area, and you know, things like lanterns or you know,

110
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.800
flashlights that you can purchase to go out with you

111
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.199
and monoculars and you know, little hunting supply stuff.

112
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.199
Good stuff for field researching. But then there's also really

113
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.839
cute like sasquatch wal art and little decor pieces or

114
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.959
nickknack key chains, beanies, and hats, and then there is

115
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.839
a fantastic selection of books too, some of them signed

116
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.560
even yeah.

117
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.800
Oh yeah, and all of Peter birds stuff is signed.

118
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.199
Oh wow. Okay, so that's that's actually a huge deal.

119
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:13.759
So if they're hardcore bigfoot collectors out there, it can

120
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.120
actually go to Area fifty eight and purchase books that

121
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.319
were signed by Peter Bird.

122
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:24.240
We have the Hunt for Yetti, we have the Hunt

123
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:34.480
for Bigfoot and just tell me the search for Bigfoot,

124
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.519
monster or man, and we have the Hunt for Yetti here.

125
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.319
There's two different versions of the Hunt for Bigfoot. I

126
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.480
guess one is revised and updated and they're all signed here.

127
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:57.600
Is there any others there? And I have a couple

128
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.959
here of a fortunate life.

129
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.120
A fortunate life. If you didn't hear that, yes.

130
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.560
Yeah, very cool.

131
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.000
You know, listeners out there, if you're in the big

132
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.519
Foot book collecting, you know how hard it is to

133
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.480
find good big foot books and you never find them

134
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.040
autographed by the authors. So I mean, that's a huge

135
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.480
reason you would want to go check out Area fifty eight.

136
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.600
Does it cost any money to get into the museum, Priscilla, No,

137
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.919
oh wow, that's just come on in. Just bring yourself

138
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.679
in Alicia. How did you get involved with the museum.

139
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.799
Well, I had been kind of helping out keep an

140
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.960
eye on the al Moon Lab area for Tob. My

141
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.559
friend Jeff Brown and I were down there a lot,

142
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.799
and Tobe had reached out to me saying that Priscilla

143
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.919
was going to open this museum, and he was like, hey,

144
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.200
do you think that you'd like to help her with

145
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:04.279
you know, aught in you know, task things and possibly

146
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.480
getting a YouTube channel going, which by no means am

147
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.519
I a professional, but I can kind of help with

148
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.639
some text stuff. I had gone to the festival last year,

149
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.639
but like we didn't really. I mean, you're probably busy

150
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.159
running around the whole time. But I hadn't actually officially

151
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.679
met you until we met down at the Albumling Lab

152
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.960
with Darryl when he came into town. Olympics Strange days,

153
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.279
oh and Olympic Strange Days. Yeah, so we didn't wait

154
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.360
until September. And like instant connection.

155
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.799
I can't believe the connection with the Bigfoot community is.

156
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.320
Just like amazing. I feel like we've we've known each

157
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:38.840
other forever.

158
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.919
Yeah, which you were just kind of saying that in

159
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.320
the beginning too, Jeremiah, like it just we clicked and

160
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.480
it feels like we've known each other for a long time.

161
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.000
So I think it's been four months.

162
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.039
Yeah, yeah, But I've just been coming here on my

163
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.559
days off and helping out when I can and just

164
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.840
trying to But we've been also going out into the

165
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.519
woods too. You're in your dance spot and having some

166
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.559
pretty interesting stuff happen, and yeah, that's.

167
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:11.600
That's really cool. You're able to become involved like that.

168
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.200
Are there any other people we want to make sure

169
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.960
that we mentioned that are also involved with making Area

170
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.960
fifty eight what it is?

171
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.480
Tobe Johnson has just he's amazing.

172
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.039
You know, he donated the big Foot Kney prints and

173
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:38.399
it's just he's been promoting it and he's helping me

174
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:43.440
this next Sasquatch Summer Fest to MC because I'm really shy,

175
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.799
and I'm like, I'm really trying to get over it,

176
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:52.159
and I'm I will, I will overcome my shyness absolutely,

177
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.320
But so Tobe was like, you know I can MC.

178
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.519
I'm so, you know, I've done this before and I'm

179
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.159
used to it and I have no problem with, you know,

180
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.440
public speaking, and I'm.

181
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.840
Like, okay, absolutely, And then when it comes to like

182
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:10.000
going out doing stuff. Kind of our main crew is you, me, Steve,

183
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.440
your husband, and then Jeff Brown. So we usually get

184
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.799
all together and go out into the woods and see

185
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.720
what kind of stuff we can stir up out there.

186
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.360
Yeah, and just a few days ago we had to

187
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.639
walk in who wanted to tell us his experiences.

188
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.559
Nam Zach Miller.

189
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.440
He's the one that had encountered a big foot while

190
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.240
he was out chopping or you know, using his chainsaw

191
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:39.240
in the woods. Yes, and he left everything behind and

192
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.519
was he came like to our house. He's like, because

193
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.919
you know, he knew that we were you know, big

194
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.720
footters or whatever, and he's like, I left everything there.

195
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.159
I don't want to go back by.

196
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.799
Myself, and if you guys would like to come with me,

197
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.039
And so all his stuff was there when we.

198
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.039
Went back, and so that was fun.

199
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.600
But him and his wife had an experience a few

200
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.759
months ago and he wanted to share that with us,

201
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.639
so we documented it. And then we went out to

202
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.679
his property and went up on the ridge and we

203
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.679
found some interesting stuff. And I haven't uploaded it yet.

204
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.120
I need alicious help to That's probably the next one

205
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:24.840
that will come out.

206
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.639
Oh man, I'm glad that you bring that up, because

207
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.240
one of the things I like best about Area fifty

208
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.879
eight is how you're able to provide a place for

209
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.240
people to come in what they've experienced and it's not.

210
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:40.720
All just Bigfoot related.

211
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.440
You have a YouTube channel that has quite a few

212
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.279
encounters out already, and would you be able to share

213
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.480
maybe about some others that you've put up on the

214
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.279
channel as well.

215
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.960
Oh yeah, So a couple of weeks ago, so this guy,

216
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.600
his name is Sebastian, and he had contacted me last

217
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:06.440
year before Sasquatch Summer, and he was interested in the

218
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.879
more paranormal side and he heard about Doug Meetcham and

219
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:15.279
doing the hypno hypnotism for the abduction. But so he

220
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:19.759
contacted me and said that he had been experiencing abduction

221
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.960
since he's about five years old, and so, you know,

222
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.759
I asked what he had come in and so we

223
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:35.159
documentmented that and you know, I it's quite a story

224
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.759
and my heart goes out to him. I mean, he

225
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.799
broke down and started crying while he was telling his

226
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:47.919
abduction story. And then he told me that his girlfriend,

227
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:55.600
who also experienced seeing aliens at his house at the

228
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.360
foot of his bed, she's going to come in next

229
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.559
and tell me what she experienced and I'll be getting

230
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.279
that up there too.

231
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.600
Are what are the times that people can come and

232
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.759
visit the museum?

233
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:13.519
So I'm open Monday through Friday nine to three and

234
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.720
Saturdays we like to use it for you know, editing

235
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:20.440
and the technical side.

236
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.000
But I am here on a lot of Saturdays. If

237
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.039
someone wants.

238
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.440
To come in and talk, you know, look at stuff

239
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.519

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.559
Know, do our interview on a Saturday. But Monday through

241
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.600
Friday ninety three awesome.

242
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.240
It's I will say from experience, you know, it is

243
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.240
relatively easy to get to Oakridge for people out of state.

244
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.200
I mean, if you're having to fly in, you can

245
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.720
just fly into Eugene and then it's about forty five

246
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:57.720
minute drive down fifty eight or so and place right

247
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.639
next to the dairy Queen right yeap, yep.

248
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.799
Right before it. And then people can also reach out

249
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.039
through the Area of fifty eight Museum Facebook or the

250
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.720
Gmail and it's just Area fifty eight Museum at gmail

251
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.759
dot com. That's another way people want to schedule an

252
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.960
interview with Priscilla or yeah, tell their story.

253
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.840
That's awesome.

254
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:25.559
I'm a good listener. I'm here to listen, not to judge.

255
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:30.879
So and that's that's a great, great deal of it.

256
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.679
Big So Society will be right back after these messages.

257
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:57.080
So listeners to my show have heard me talk a

258
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.759
lot about an area called Meadow Area, or sometimes it's

259
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:07.200
referred to Ronnie or Ronnie's Area or Ronnie's Research Area

260
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.879
or Dwayne's Area has a lot of different names from

261
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.000
here on out.

262
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.320
It now, and.

263
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.759
I want to make sure I get this right because

264
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.320
I want to make sure people can fall along on

265
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.679
all the different.

266
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:23.159
You know areas.

267
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:28.080
That area is being referred to as o Cole correct.

268
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:29.919
Perfect.

269
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.320
So now my listeners are all on board because I

270
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.000
say that they would be so so confused and lost right,

271
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.320
which I think it's a really awesome name for it actually.

272
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.279
So the o Coal Area is the place where a

273
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:50.320
lot of things have happened over the years, and listeners,

274
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.240
if you want to hear more about this, if you

275
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.000
go on YouTube under the playlist for Bigfoot Society, there's

276
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.200
an okrage organ playlist. It's all all in there. There's

277
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.360
a lot in there, and you can catch up with

278
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.720
everything that's happened. But The cool thing about the area

279
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.119
fifty eight team is that you're actually you're not just

280
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.319
staying in this one little building. You're actually going out

281
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.160
to this area, I would say quite a bit, and

282
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.400
you're spending time to go out and actively check out

283
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.359
what is going on in this area. Would you be

284
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.759
able to share a little bit about things that you've

285
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.279
been able to experience.

286
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.680
So it was that Christmas Eve that we It was

287
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.200
just before Christmas that the big thing happened, and then

288
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.160
we came back Christis okay.

289
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.440
Yeah, so we went out my phone.

290
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:49.799
Okay, So electronic weirdness happens every time we go up

291
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:54.599
there and have an experience. Electric stuff just happens, Like

292
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.160
the battery on our van.

293
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.079
Will go low. Yeah, so that seems like.

294
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.079
Okay, we need to like look at this every time

295
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.480
because I want you guys to notice that it has

296
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.200
it'll be a full charge and then it'll.

297
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.359
Just go low when we have an experience.

298
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.759
But me and Alicia and I we had taken off

299
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.119
through the meadow and I had my phone on a

300
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.240
selfie stick, so I wasn't touching it.

301
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.200
I had it on video. I had it.

302
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.720
Sideways and I hit the record and I'm documenting us

303
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:38.920
going into the woods from you know, the meadow. My

304
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:45.880
phone just like it crashes. It doesn't, the battery just

305
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.440
dies on it instantly. So I'm like, Okay, Alicia, my

306
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.039
phone just did somewhere. I need to start recording. And

307
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.960
then she starts recording. But I'll tell you what happens

308
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.119
after she records with my phone.

309
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.039
Oh yeah, so yeah, I've turned my camera on. And

310
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.759
also it was like raining, but we're walking back in

311
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.920
there and we kind of just stand and listen for

312
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.920
a while, and all of a sudden, we start hearing

313
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:24.839
this rhythmic knocking and we're like looking at each other, just.

314
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.000
Like, what the heck?

315
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.880
The everybody else's back towards the road. We had a

316
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.240
pretty big group with us that day, but we were

317
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.480
the only ones back in there.

318
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.720
And my son, who's nineteen and high functioning autistic, he

319
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.319
knows where we're at, you know, he drives up to

320
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:47.359
our location and he's he's running towards me and Alicia,

321
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.559
and this while this knocking or actually it's a vocalization,

322
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.920
it's it was a really deep So I was thinking,

323
00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.799
like the first thing that's popped in my head was,

324
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.160
you know, that it was knocking, but after further review,

325
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:09.400
we think it was vobilization. But my son, who's autistic,

326
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.960
I'm so sorry to cut you off for it, I

327
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.720
think that he actually may have, you know, contributed to

328
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.720
this encounter with you know, the connection with Bigfoot and autism,

329
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.240
because I think it's just you know, there's an innocence

330
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:31.359
there and you know, and Ben, he's just like.

331
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.039
I hear it.

332
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.240
Maybe Bigfoot is real, because you know, that's his things.

333
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.240
He likes to say Bigfoot's not real. And he's like no,

334
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.759
because that's a bear. And I'm like, I don't think

335
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:50.039
bears knock. And he's like, okay, I'm leaving, and he's

336
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:53.200
he gets in his car and goes back home because he.

337
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.119
Doesn't want to be out there anymore.

338
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:01.440
But okay, yeah, well we I thought it was going

339
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.079
to stop, and so I always tried to do like

340
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.960
the talking out loud thing because I've had some luck

341
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.839
with it in the past.

342
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.319
So I just when it stopped, I said like, thank you,

343
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.319
could you do that again? And the guys were coming, so,

344
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.559
like Jeff, Steve and Ben were walking up towards us,

345
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:24.920
and Brazilla's like, you guys, something's going on and so,

346
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.160
but when I asked for it to do it again,

347
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.519
it continued to do the same series of At the time,

348
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.200
it sounded like knocking. But yeah, we had the recording

349
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:39.319
of it and sent them to our Facebook group chat

350
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.559
and I believe you and TOE both enhanced the audio

351
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:49.319
and then that revealed potential vocals or even language possibly

352
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.400
which if people want to listen to those we Toe

353
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:58.000
uploaded them to the recent Olympic Strange Days Live Presents

354
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.519
and it's on the area fifty eight chan. But I

355
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.000
believe part two has the audio recordings in it and

356
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:11.119
listen with headphones. But yeah, that was a really wild experience.

357
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:19.839
Yeah, it's It definitely had some of the sounds that

358
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.160
sound like precursors of language that David Ellis will sometimes

359
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.599
call out in different interviews that he does, and it's

360
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:32.400
something that another group I was part of the Sunday

361
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.480
of Sasquash Summerfest the Sunday after we went up there,

362
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.359
and we pretty much captured the same thing. Individual named

363
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.319
Andrew captured it using his iPhone audio recorders.

364
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:44.119
So it's just it's.

365
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:48.519
Fascinating to hear similar things captured in the same area.

366
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.599
And then I was just thinking, as you're sharing about

367
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.000
the batteries going dead on stuff, I was like, man,

368
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:59.960
it's weird that we didn't really that we didn't really experience.

369
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.839
And then I was like, oh, yeah we did. And

370
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.880
I remembered on Sunday when we were up there, I

371
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.880
couldn't capture anything on it myself because my phone was dead.

372
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.400
All of a sudden, all my stuff was dead and

373
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.960
it didn't even click. At the time, it was just like, man,

374
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.039
it's so weird. I always charge up my stuff and

375
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.279
it's like, nothing's working. Why is it all dead? Not

376
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.160
even click in my mind at But yeah, so I

377
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.640
guess that potentially could have happened to me as well

378
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.440
when I was out there in July. But so that is,

379
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.880
that's a very interesting audio that you guys captured. You

380
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.960
have a really good group chat on the Area fifty

381
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.200
eight channel, and I'll link that in the show notes

382
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.000
so people can listen to that as well.

383
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.960
So when I.

384
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.759
Got my phone back to the office and I started

385
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:53.200
charging it, all of my like seven thousand photos they

386
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:58.279
were all blurry, old photos were blurry. I'm like, okay,

387
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:03.440
this is weird. The video I'm like twenty six minutes.

388
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.000
I didn't get a twenty six minute video?

389
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.000
What is this?

390
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.359
And it was so our video of us walking into

391
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.200
the woods, which was only about no longer than a minute.

392
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.799
It was twenty six seconds, and then it switched to

393
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.640
slow mo and went to the video took up twenty

394
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.720
six minutes for less than a minute video because it

395
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:35.640
switched itself to SlowMo, which killed my memory and filled

396
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:40.240
it in which what made my camera stop. I was

397
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.119
not touching it. I did not switch it. You know,

398
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.079
it was ahead of me like four feet with my

399
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.200
you know, selfie stick while I was recording.

400
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.680
So, yeah, it's it's.

401
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:59.559
A very very strange area up there. I think it's

402
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.720
there's so many different ways that whatever is going on

403
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.839
up there interacts with people. Things that I've been up

404
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.799
there where one night there was an individual walking down

405
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:18.640
the road by themselves and it wasn't it wasn't in

406
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:24.559
the meadow area, but she was walking from to say

407
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:29.200
this in such a way, there's another area where people

408
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:34.640
will gather sometimes and she was walking from that down

409
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.720
the road back to the meadow and she had actually

410
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.599
heard her name called from the woods. So there's some

411
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.400
really weird, weird stuff that happens up there. Are there

412
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.720
any other weird things that you guys have experienced up

413
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.279
in that area since last July?

414
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.400
Yeah?

415
00:25:54.960 --> 00:26:00.680
So this was so I so loss on eBay. I

416
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.640
don't know why people buy moss, but they do so.

417
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.400
A few days before my festival, I told Chad day

418
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.319
month from you know, searching for sasquash. I'm like, I

419
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.759
have to go get moss. I have to sell it

420
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:16.400
or I have to ship it out in the morning

421
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:18.759
because you only have three days, you know. I'm like,

422
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:24.279
and it's midnight. It's actually my birthday is July seventeenth.

423
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:29.880
It was Wednesday morning. I turned fifty. But Chad's like, yeah,

424
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.599
let's go. Let's you know, I'll go pick moss with you.

425
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.480
I'm like, are you really He's like yeah, let's go.

426
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:39.559
And I'm like okay, cool. So we go up to

427
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.160
okl And and Chad's like six or ten.

428
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.920
I mean, he's right.

429
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.359
Maybe that's what got you know, these things attention, because

430
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.839
you know, he's just a very tall human. But so

431
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.920
he's he's grabbing moss from all these really high branches

432
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:02.000
and we're just out there talking my with us. Eva

433
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.799
She's she's sitting in the car, playing on the phone

434
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:09.920
and me and chatter out there gathering moss and just talking.

435
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.960
We've probably been out there for like twenty minutes. And

436
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.200
then he's like, you know, Priscilla, I was telling your dad,

437
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:20.519
you know whatever, and that you know, tighten up the

438
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:22.440
the flashlight lens.

439
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.519
You know, that'd be a good deterrent for you know,

440
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.880
Big Fer.

441
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.680
It's just not even up there for big but we're

442
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.480
just talking, you know, and he shines that light and

443
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:40.640
probably less than fifty yards away, there's eyes shine, and

444
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:41.720
it's it's.

445
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:46.039
Tall, and it's like for some and like I'm I'm.

446
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:51.799
A little scared, you know, it's dark, and my granddaughter

447
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.240
is in the car. And then and then another set

448
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.240
of eyes show up and it's like a couple of

449
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:02.519
feet off the ground. And later we would find that

450
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.200
actually there was a ledge, so it wasn't.

451
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:06.240
A maybe big flit or one.

452
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:08.319
Crawling because you know, of course I'm just thinking crawling

453
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.119
and you know, I'm.

454
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:10.160
S character death.

455
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.160
But it was it was on a ledge, and it

456
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.720
was just like peeking over the ledge at us, curious

457
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:20.160
as to you know, probably what we were doing.

458
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.200
And I'm like, he's like, you want to go towards

459
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.960
I'm like, no, I don't want to go towards it.

460
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.799
I'm going to go to the car and see Eva.

461
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.880
And then Chad had seen one more set advice to

462
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.799
show up. This had gotten back to Cliff Bracklan who

463
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.759
was at the festival, and he went back with them

464
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.960
to look for prints or tracks because and he'd found one.

465
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.839
So it was.

466
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:55.680
You know, extra confirmation that we you know, didn't see

467
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.160
elk eye shine in the distance, or you know that

468
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.960
there was actual facts that were found.

469
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:02.359
Oh.

470
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:08.079
Absolutely, there's a an interesting thing that the group was

471
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.279
able to do. I don't know if you would be

472
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.079
able to share about this, is you actually did a

473
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.839
kind of an overnighter in the Okhole area on Christmas Eve.

474
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.640
Would you mind sharing about what happened?

475
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:28.640
Got very cold and what it was like sleet, snow

476
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.400
coming down towards the end. So we ended up not

477
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.160
being able to like make it through the full night.

478
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.559
We crashed on Priscilla's couch in her warmhouse.

479
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.920
Big for Society will be right back after these messages.

480
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:00.440
But we tried a whole lot of things. I have

481
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.920
a bag full of gadgets for like, you know, ghost hunting,

482
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:10.160
equipment in addition to like thermals and cameras and all

483
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.680
that stuff. But so we were trying to reach out

484
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.559
to pretty much anything and everything, not just bigfoot out

485
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.039
there to see if we got action. And it was

486
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:22.079
pretty quiet for the most part.

487
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:28.000
But the yeah, except for so she had that what.

488
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.240
Was it called that we did an est method with

489
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.319
the spirit box and where you listen one person listens

490
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.799
while everybody else like listen or asks questions and then

491
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:39.559
I just say what I hear through the state sweeping

492
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.119
through the stations.

493
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:46.599
And so she goes over to the front of her

494
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.079
car and she had set down what was it.

495
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.000
That you set down that I think it was a recorder?

496
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:52.599
The recorder.

497
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.039
Okay, she had set down the recorder and then she

498
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.160
walks over to the front of her car, so you know,

499
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.759
she can't hear any questions that we might be asking.

500
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.279
And then the recorder that was on the back of

501
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:12.519
our card flies off and hit Steve in the foot. Yeah.

502
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.759
It wasn't like a slide off like it just you know,

503
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:20.000
slipped off or anything. It was like like something through

504
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:21.000
it on the ground.

505
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:21.880
Yeah.

506
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.279
Yeah, So so we didn't have any bigfoot activity, but

507
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.480
we had that it was.

508
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.359
Yeah, it was interesting, but we still had a great time.

509
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.960
But I mean, I imagine maybe they wouldn't want to be

510
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:40.039
up there when it's cold and sleety sleep snowing. Whatever

511
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.160
that was. But then we went back again.

512
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:46.880
What was that that was like?

513
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.799
Was that last Tuesday, because I think it was just

514
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:54.519
after we did the the Live with Toe. So we

515
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:57.599
went up there for a few hours after that, and

516
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:01.559
we were kind of split up more like the guys

517
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.759
were Steve and Jeff were in an area, and then

518
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.119
you and me and Ben were together for a bit.

519
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.759
And then I was feeling confident and I walked off

520
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:15.039
down the road towards the dead end. And at one point,

521
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:18.039
I mean I was even walking, like I turned the

522
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.599
flashlight off on my phone because we weren't prepared to

523
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.960
really go out into the wood that day, so I

524
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.400
didn't have anything on me besides flash light on my phone,

525
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:28.279
and I was even just walking in the dark. At

526
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.440
one point. I'm not sure what came over me, but

527
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.920
I was like feeling very confident, and I thought she

528
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:38.720
was brave, great, and I had my I used my

529
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.400
voice uh and he's called voice note on iPhones. That's

530
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:44.920
what I used. To record on my phone if I

531
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:50.400
have nothing else. And I was trying to get some activity,

532
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.079
and I was doing the like talking out loud, and

533
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.200
there wasn't really many responses or anything. It was very quiet.

534
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:01.559
And then I asked if so if they could like

535
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.440
take some steps towards me, like like stick breaks or something,

536
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.680
so that I could hear them walking or that they're

537
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.440
in my presence. And a few seconds past, and immediately

538
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:19.519
like that, I hear steps of like twig branches breaking

539
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.960
towards my direction on the left side of the road,

540
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:32.400
and I just lost it. I like yelled out, but

541
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.880
I was initially I kind of yell screamed, and then

542
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.519
I'm like laughing as I'm running towards Priscilla.

543
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:42.599
I'm running towards her. Yeah, I don't know what I

544
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:46.039
would be able to do. But and like guys are

545
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.279
way off in the back.

546
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.119
It's like they couldn't even hear me say mebe guys

547
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.119
and they shouldn't out.

548
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.720
And You're like, I don't have anything on me to

549
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.720
protect us, because really I should have thinking about the

550
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.079
fact that there could be you know, bear, cougar whatever

551
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:08.280
out there, but the fact that it happened right after

552
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:12.199
I asked, makes me lean towards it was maybe one

553
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.760
of them, because it was like kind of an intelligent

554
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.119
required response in a way. So then we went back

555
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:24.679
just her and I and they did it for her.

556
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.679
I asked if they could do it. I apologiz. I

557
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:29.360
was like sorry, I got scared and I ran off,

558
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.079
and I asked if they would do it again, and

559
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:35.920
they did take a couple more steps, and then we

560
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:40.920
called the guys over to be to hear. Yeah, the

561
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:48.039
MF detectors again. But yeah, then when the guys you know,

562
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:51.800
kind of backed us up and had protective measures in

563
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:56.880
case it was a predatory animal, then it was completely silent.

564
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.159
So and I really wish I had my thermal on

565
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:03.199
me because I could have possibly seen something. But then again,

566
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.039
maybe they wouldn't have came so close if I did so.

567
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:12.400
I don't know, but that was funny and scary.

568
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.559
That's that's some wild stuff. I don't know how I

569
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:21.559
would have reacted myself. More power to ye for that's

570
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.320
you know. The thing I like about you is you're

571
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.000
not scared to try m stuff out there, and more power.

572
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.320
Maybe some day I didn't. Yeah, some day I cannot.

573
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:37.519
Freak out but yeah, yeah, ever since because we had

574
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.159
an interview after I mean, man, it feels like a

575
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.480
lot longer than that, but it was after we met

576
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.800
in July at the festival, and then I had you

577
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.079
on the show, and after that I was like, yeah,

578
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:54.360
she is not afraid to try some stuff for.

579
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:55.639
Sure, which is pretty cool.

580
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.000
Might be a little afterwards.

581
00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:58.800
There you go.

582
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:06.079
Oh man, I cannot wait to go back out there

583
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:10.000
in a few months and to experience more of the

584
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.360
Oakridge area. It's just it's a beautiful town. I mean

585
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.840
to kind of talk about the town itself, is I

586
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.679
mean it's known as the mountain bike capital of the

587
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.519
Pacific Northwest, right, yes, yeah, I mean so it's a

588
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.719
pretty big deal. Like if you're in the mountain biking

589
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:30.119
and Bigfoot, it's the perfect place to be, Priscilla, if

590
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.679
you could have any person come in the museum that

591
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.119
you might really want to meet, do you have any

592
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:41.159
names you'd want to and throw out to maybe manifest it,

593
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:42.920
you know what?

594
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:48.079
So speaking this Ron moorehead, I would love to meet him.

595
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:54.199
He I did not know this. He's from Mariposa, California, which.

596
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.719
I'm from Mariposa, California. I never knew that he was from.

597
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:02.079
There and he owned the forty nine er or miners

598
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.920
Ann Sorry, miners Anne was a restaurant that I would

599
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.440
always go to as a kid, and I don't know

600
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.000
if you old it when I went there. But I

601
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:15.719
had the opportunity to drive him to Mariposa last year

602
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.760
and I was like, you know what, I'll just I'll

603
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.159
just take you and I'd love to you know, hear

604
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.800
your stories and just pick your brain all the way

605
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:28.679
down there and then you know, meet up with some

606
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:30.239
of my childhood friends.

607
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:37.119
But the drive never happened. So you know, I would

608
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.800
love to meet Ron Morehead.

609
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:41.719
Well, you never know, maybe maybe it'll happen.

610
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.920
I mean, having a place like Area fifty eight, you

611
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.119
never know who's going to walk through the door. I

612
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.440
hear stories from about Cliff's Museum all the time and

613
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.840
the people that show up in that place some pretty

614
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.679
special stuff, and I can see the same thing happening

615
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.920
to Area fifty eight as well, So cross your fingers.

616
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.760
Ron might come through the door. I think I remember

617
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:05.880
hearing back in the day like he used to actually

618
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.760
live in that area or do a lot of research

619
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:14.519
in that area. I think further maybe further west, a

620
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.960
little bit around west for I don't know, I have

621
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:18.360
to look through my notes.

622
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.400
It's been a while, but.

623
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.320
It is such a cool guy, one of the nicest

624
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.199
guys in a Bigfoot bigfooting that you can talk to,

625
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:31.119
for sure. But Melicia and Priscilla, it's been it's been

626
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:35.400
such a fun chat about the museum area fifty eight

627
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:40.039
and what you guys have been experiencing. I want to

628
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:44.000
make sure if there's anything else that you were wanting

629
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.400
to make sure that you shared about the museum before

630
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:50.679
we close out our first part of the interview.

631
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:56.480
Well, I promised Kathy Griffin that I would make a

632
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:00.840
mention of the Peter C. Burn Memorial College Scholarship Fund

633
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:07.920
and that they are accepting donations to help a kid

634
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:13.239
from the Chillamook County High School to attend college. So

635
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:19.800
anybody who wants to make a tax deductible donation, they

636
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:23.480
can send it to one two to one Southwest Yamhill Street,

637
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.920
Sweet one hundred, Portland, Oregon nine seven two zero five

638
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.000
and make it out to the organ Community Foundation.

639
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:34.679
Awesome.

640
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.840
Absolutely, And Alicia, do you mind taking a few minutes

641
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:43.519
to remind listeners and viewers of how they can visit

642
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:45.800
the museum and keep up to date with what you

643
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:46.840
guys are doing there.

644
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:53.360
Yeah, so we are encouraging people who have stories of

645
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:56.719
strangeness of any kind. Doesn't have to be Bigfoot or

646
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:58.760
aliens necessarily, could be anything.

647
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:01.440
They come in Monday.

648
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:04.679
Through Friday from nine to three, and you can also

649
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:09.239
reach out to the Area fifty eight Museum Facebook and

651
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:14.800
up an interview, which is just the Area fifty eight

652
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.159
Museum at gmail dot com. And what we are kind

653
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:24.320
of hoping to do is get enough subscribers that we

654
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:28.679
could start doing some monthly live talks here and posting

655
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.800
them here at the shop and just talk about a

656
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:37.320
lot of awesome topics and have people maybe share their

657
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:41.000
stories or encounters in person and just have a good

658
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:44.840
time and being weird talking about the weird stuff.

659
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.159
That's awesome. I love it.
