Red Dirt Dogman and Bigfoot of Oklahoma with Brian Terrell (Member's Only)

0:00 Welcome to Big fo Society. In this episode, I have a ten minute teaser for you for today's member only episode where I talked to Brian Terrell from Red Dirt Cryptid Investigations about his wild Dog Man and Bigfoot encounters and more that 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 supporters and YouTube channel members, and let's get on with the show. My buddy Coleman and I we were walking in the rain, like being bats. We were out looking and searching in the rain, and we was just walking along this trail and something just told me, you know, you need to turn around and look back the way that you came. And so I took about a half step backwards and I looked back the way we came, and that's when I saw it. I saw this head leaning out from behind a tree, and it was it was kind of oblong shape, you know, which kind of made me think it kind of had a conical head, but it's kind of hard to tell, but it's leaning out, it's looking and at first, I mean I was just like, oh my gosh, you know, oh my gosh. You know, it just kind of took my breath away, and I was like wow. And I mean, I'm sitting

1:34 here thinking all this stuff, and I'm like, that's really it. That's really it. You know, I'm seeing one. It's right there, it's right there. And then the thought crossed my mind. It's like, man, I really I want Coleman to see this. I want Coleman to see this. So I was like, Coleman, come, I need you to come over here real quick. And Coleman comes over there and he's like, what's up, you know, and I'm like, I need you to pretend like you're talking to me. But what you're going to do is you're going to look over my left shoulder and you're going to look just my ear, but you're gonna pretend like you're looking at me, and we're going to keep talking like we're just chatting it up. He's like, okay, I said, do you see those two big trees over there? And he goes yeah, And I go do you see the head leaning out? And he's like no, I don't. Oh yeah, I see it, you know, and you could just kind of see his eyes open up a little bit and he's sitting here and he's looking at it too, and neither one of us are even thinking about our cell phones or anything. It's just like, wow, you know, it's like there it is. There's one really right there.

2:32 And so we kind of like watched it for a few minutes. But then I don't know, I just couldn't resist and I ended up turning around trying to look again, and that's when it disappeared. And I actually saw it, you know, pull back behind the tree once and so I saw it move, and that's that's what just I was just like, oh my gosh. Well, anyway, it was so cool. I mean, it was just so cool getting to see it. But we ended up going back out there the next day, and so we went and we stood where we were, and then my buddy Jeff goes over there and stands where this thing was behind this tree. And this is the part that freaked me out.

3:14 We took a laser rangefinder and we ranged it out. It one hundred and twenty yards, so it was like the length of a football field, and I still to this day, I don't think it was that far, but this thing was so tall I could barely see Jeff, you know, over there. And when Jeff lifted his hand all the way up in the air, it was barely up there where we could see it, which means this thing and Jeff is like six foot tall, and this thing literally had to have been ten foot tall. It was a beast. It was massive.

3:59 It was huge, And I think that's part of the reason why in my head I thought it was a lot closer than what it was. It was further away. It was just really big, and I think that's the fact that there was a little bit more distance to it than what I thought. I think that's why I couldn't get a whole lot of detail, you know what I mean. But still I just I don't know. It was I feel very fortunate to have actually gotten to see that, and that was really exciting. That actually happened at Hayburn Lake and they're south west of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and that was probably about a year ago. But man, that was a thrill, say the least. I mean, you live for stuff like that, you know, So I don't know how I would I would respond to that, But I mean, hats off to you for being able to handle that so easily and having so your buddy was able to see it as well. That's pretty cool. Yeah, over the years, have you had the have you been able to talk to any I guess you would say law law enforcement officials or forestry workers or whatever the equivalent is called down in Oklahoma about en cryptids or you know, it's kind of interesting that I personally

5:35 have not had any law enforcement friends or people that I know that are actually you know, like no wers I have met. I wouldn't call them my friends, but I've been introduced to two different individuals, and I'm not going to mention their names or what state parks they work at, but both of them were State of Oklahoma parks and regular parks and recreation uh rangers, right, and they were both knowers. One of them, he he was a very nice guy. He saw my big foot sticker on my car, struck up a conversation, gave me his business card. He said that he knew that they existed, he'd seen him before, and he was just real open and friendly about it. But I know that, you know, that's kind of probably kind of unusual for that now, for for one of those guys to just talk to a stranger and tell them, but he was pretty confident.

6:56 He said, I know for a fact that there's not any of these creek at this state park. And the funny thing is is I've actually gotten reports from the state park that he was working at, and he was apparently not aware of them, but I didn't want to contradict him. And the other one was a fellow that I was introduced to who is a park ranger and I was introduced to him via third party. And he's a knower too, And I'm not going to tell his story or how he knows because there are a few people that know who he is and I think it's kind of brought him some grief, So just to be professional and not bring them out.

7:42 But yeah, I've met two of them who are knowers, but they're not really super talkative about it, and they definitely don't want to go public about it. But as far as like any law enforcement officers, no, But on the flip side, the former head of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations, I believe his name is mister Pratt. He I can't remember his first name now, met him one time. He's a knower and he was a very high ranking official within the state of Oklahoma. I mean he was the head of the OSBI. You know, that's basically like I don't know, n C I S or whatever the TV show is going right now.

8:39 He was the head for the whole state. And he's a knower, so very Henry Henry Pratt, I think is his name? Super smart dude. I mean, but you know there are people within the state that are that hold those positions that they're knowers, but they don't talk about it as much. You know, it usually just brings you nothing but grief when you come out of the closet, you know what I'm saying. So is that Harvey Pratt? Harvey, Yes, because because that's the guy who did the tryings in David Poladi's book, Right, Yeah, I think it's the same dude.

9:28 He's that's interesting. Oh yeah, he's uh, he's probably the you know, I don't know, most famous law enforcement person that I've ever heard of. That's that's a knower so and I think that's that's enough. I mean, he's he's he's about as far up there as you can go. He was a big dog before he retired, and he's a very friendly man. So at least the me so, But anyway, yeah, I don't. I mean, I'm sure there's others. I'm I'm sure there are. It's just who do you you know, they're they're they're not coming out and talking. You know, You've got that phenomenon. They just don't talk.

10:16 Oklahoma's tight lipped anyway, you know. And it's just the stigma. It's the stigma that surrounds it. You know. These these people, these law enforcement individuals, they're their judgment is everything for them because if they're crazy or deemed incompetent, you know, I mean that their testimony is is is worthless, you know, and their testimony is probably their most important thing. So they have to maintain that higher level of integrity and they probably guard it much more protected than than most people, your average Joe would.
