Welcome to Big fo Society. In
this episode, I have a ten minute

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.919
teaser for you for today's member only
episode where I talked to Brian Terrell from

3
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:17.239
Red Dirt Cryptid Investigations about his wild
Dog Man and Bigfoot encounters and more that

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.760
he's had in the great state of
Oklahoma. You don't want to miss this

one, and it's a just for
the members. So thank you for Patreon

6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.800
supporters and YouTube channel members, and
let's get on with the show. My

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:39.119
buddy Coleman and I we were walking
in the rain, like being bats.

8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:47.359
We were out looking and searching in
the rain, and we was just walking

9
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.840
along this trail and something just told
me, you know, you need to

10
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.679
turn around and look back the way
that you came. And so I took

11
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.280
about a half step backwards and I
looked back the way we came, and

12
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.480
that's when I saw it. I
saw this head leaning out from behind a

13
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.879
tree, and it was it was
kind of oblong shape, you know,

14
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.920
which kind of made me think it
kind of had a conical head, but

15
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.400
it's kind of hard to tell,
but it's leaning out, it's looking and

16
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.879
at first, I mean I was
just like, oh my gosh, you

17
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.280
know, oh my gosh. You
know, it just kind of took my

18
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.640
breath away, and I was like
wow. And I mean, I'm sitting

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.640
here thinking all this stuff, and
I'm like, that's really it. That's

20
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.280
really it. You know, I'm
seeing one. It's right there, it's

21
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.359
right there. And then the thought
crossed my mind. It's like, man,

22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.439
I really I want Coleman to see
this. I want Coleman to see

23
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.439
this. So I was like,
Coleman, come, I need you to

24
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.319
come over here real quick. And
Coleman comes over there and he's like,

25
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:53.840
what's up, you know, and
I'm like, I need you to pretend

26
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.359
like you're talking to me. But
what you're going to do is you're going

27
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.680
to look over my left shoulder and
you're going to look just my ear,

28
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.719
but you're gonna pretend like you're looking
at me, and we're going to keep

29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.200
talking like we're just chatting it up. He's like, okay, I said,

30
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.680
do you see those two big trees
over there? And he goes yeah,

31
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.879
And I go do you see the
head leaning out? And he's like

32
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.039
no, I don't. Oh yeah, I see it, you know,

33
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.520
and you could just kind of see
his eyes open up a little bit and

34
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.280
he's sitting here and he's looking at
it too, and neither one of us

35
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.599
are even thinking about our cell phones
or anything. It's just like, wow,

36
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.319
you know, it's like there it
is. There's one really right there.

37
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.319
And so we kind of like watched
it for a few minutes. But

38
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.400
then I don't know, I just
couldn't resist and I ended up turning around

39
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.520
trying to look again, and that's
when it disappeared. And I actually saw

40
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.400
it, you know, pull back
behind the tree once and so I saw

41
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.919
it move, and that's that's what
just I was just like, oh my

42
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.560
gosh. Well, anyway, it
was so cool. I mean, it

43
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.400
was just so cool getting to see
it. But we ended up going back

44
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.759
out there the next day, and
so we went and we stood where we

45
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.960
were, and then my buddy Jeff
goes over there and stands where this thing

46
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.240
was behind this tree. And this
is the part that freaked me out.

47
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.120
We took a laser rangefinder and we
ranged it out. It one hundred and

48
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.120
twenty yards, so it was like
the length of a football field, and

49
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.199
I still to this day, I
don't think it was that far, but

50
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:38.520
this thing was so tall I could
barely see Jeff, you know, over

51
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.120
there. And when Jeff lifted his
hand all the way up in the air,

52
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.439
it was barely up there where we
could see it, which means this

53
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.879
thing and Jeff is like six foot
tall, and this thing literally had to

54
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.000
have been ten foot tall. It
was a beast. It was massive.

55
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.479
It was huge, And I think
that's part of the reason why in my

56
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.919
head I thought it was a lot
closer than what it was. It was

57
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.479
further away. It was just really
big, and I think that's the fact

58
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.040
that there was a little bit more
distance to it than what I thought.

59
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.560
I think that's why I couldn't get
a whole lot of detail, you know

60
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.680
what I mean. But still I
just I don't know. It was I

61
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:31.160
feel very fortunate to have actually gotten
to see that, and that was really

62
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.839
exciting. That actually happened at Hayburn
Lake and they're south west of Tulsa,

63
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.720
Oklahoma, and that was probably about
a year ago. But man, that

64
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.199
was a thrill, say the least. I mean, you live for stuff

65
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:58.920
like that, you know, So
I don't know how I would I would

66
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.160
respond to that, But I mean, hats off to you for being able

67
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:08.839
to handle that so easily and having
so your buddy was able to see it

68
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.720
as well. That's pretty cool.
Yeah, over the years, have you

69
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.720
had the have you been able to
talk to any I guess you would say

70
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.480
law law enforcement officials or forestry workers
or whatever the equivalent is called down in

71
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:35.079
Oklahoma about en cryptids or you know, it's kind of interesting that I personally

72
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:46.399
have not had any law enforcement friends
or people that I know that are actually

73
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.519
you know, like no wers I
have met. I wouldn't call them my

74
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.120
friends, but I've been introduced to
two different individuals, and I'm not going

75
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.680
to mention their names or what state
parks they work at, but both of

76
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:11.199
them were State of Oklahoma parks and
regular parks and recreation uh rangers, right,

77
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:19.439
and they were both knowers. One
of them, he he was a

78
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.519
very nice guy. He saw my
big foot sticker on my car, struck

79
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.480
up a conversation, gave me his
business card. He said that he knew

80
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:36.800
that they existed, he'd seen him
before, and he was just real open

81
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:44.040
and friendly about it. But I
know that, you know, that's kind

82
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.199
of probably kind of unusual for that
now, for for one of those guys

83
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:56.120
to just talk to a stranger and
tell them, but he was pretty confident.

84
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.680
He said, I know for a
fact that there's not any of these

85
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.920
creek at this state park. And
the funny thing is is I've actually gotten

86
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.879
reports from the state park that he
was working at, and he was apparently

87
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.800
not aware of them, but I
didn't want to contradict him. And the

88
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:18.360
other one was a fellow that I
was introduced to who is a park ranger

89
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:26.160
and I was introduced to him via
third party. And he's a knower too,

90
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.360
And I'm not going to tell his
story or how he knows because there

91
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:35.519
are a few people that know who
he is and I think it's kind of

92
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:42.240
brought him some grief, So just
to be professional and not bring them out.

93
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:47.000
But yeah, I've met two of
them who are knowers, but they're

94
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:53.079
not really super talkative about it,
and they definitely don't want to go public

95
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.560
about it. But as far as
like any law enforcement officers, no,

96
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:09.399
But on the flip side, the
former head of the Oklahoma State Bureau of

97
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:18.879
Investigations, I believe his name is
mister Pratt. He I can't remember his

98
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.480
first name now, met him one
time. He's a knower and he was

99
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.600
a very high ranking official within the
state of Oklahoma. I mean he was

100
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.919
the head of the OSBI. You
know, that's basically like I don't know,

101
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.159
n C I S or whatever the
TV show is going right now.

102
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.200
He was the head for the whole
state. And he's a knower, so

103
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.879
very Henry Henry Pratt, I think
is his name? Super smart dude.

104
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.919
I mean, but you know there
are people within the state that are that

105
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.320
hold those positions that they're knowers,
but they don't talk about it as much.

106
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.000
You know, it usually just brings
you nothing but grief when you come

107
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:15.919
out of the closet, you know
what I'm saying. So is that Harvey

108
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.799
Pratt? Harvey, Yes, because
because that's the guy who did the tryings

109
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.000
in David Poladi's book, Right,
Yeah, I think it's the same dude.

110
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.159
He's that's interesting. Oh yeah,
he's uh, he's probably the you

111
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:41.399
know, I don't know, most
famous law enforcement person that I've ever heard

112
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:48.399
of. That's that's a knower so
and I think that's that's enough. I

113
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.519
mean, he's he's he's about as
far up there as you can go.

114
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.320
He was a big dog before he
retired, and he's a very friendly man.

115
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.279
So at least the me so,
But anyway, yeah, I don't.

116
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.080
I mean, I'm sure there's others. I'm I'm sure there are.

117
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.720
It's just who do you you know, they're they're they're not coming out and

118
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.960
talking. You know, You've got
that phenomenon. They just don't talk.

119
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:24.519
Oklahoma's tight lipped anyway, you know. And it's just the stigma. It's

120
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.879
the stigma that surrounds it. You
know. These these people, these law

121
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:37.960
enforcement individuals, they're their judgment is
everything for them because if they're crazy or

122
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.919
deemed incompetent, you know, I
mean that their testimony is is is worthless,

123
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.639
you know, and their testimony is
probably their most important thing. So

124
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.799
they have to maintain that higher level
of integrity and they probably guard it much

125
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.480
more protected than than most people,
your average Joe would. So just wanted

126
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.080

in the Patreon in order to reach our

151
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:11.399
goal of going full time, actually
able to go to places people that have

152
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.679
been having Bigfoot activity, interview them
face to face, check it out for

153
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.840
