Season 1

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, we invite Neal Ryder back from bigfoottalk.com and rural Georgia, who has spent years observing ongoing Bigfoot activity on his wooded property. Located in an area where multiple creek bottoms converge and dense hardwood forests stretch across the landscape, Neal shares how repeated encounters began after settling on the land and never truly stopped. Through detailed observations of footprints, vocalizations, gifting behaviors, and changes in the terrain, he paints a vivid picture of long-term Bigfoot presence tied closely to the natural features of the region. Neal also discusses seasonal patterns, nursery areas hidden near ridges and waterways, and how clear-cut logging around the property altered movement and behavior. His firsthand insights offer a grounded, methodical look at Bigfoot activity rooted in place, time, and careful attention to the land. Join us as we explore Neal’s ongoing experiences and the deepening mystery unfolding in the forests of Georgia.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to big for Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to 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 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.520
So stay with us. All I pick for Society, You've

11
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.960
got the privilege of talking to mister Neil Ryder again.

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:41.560
Neil is the gentleman in charge of Bigfoot Talk dot com.

13
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.359
You may have seen that page on Facebook. A lot

14
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.520
of great information and Neil was actually on the show

15
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.600
last about a year ago. In January of twenty twenty five.

16
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.600
Neil was actually one of the top ten listen to

17
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:02.000
episodes on YouTube for Bigfoot Society. You may remember hearing

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.680
a little clip from his episode on the end of

19
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.280
the year show I did. Whereas the top ten episodes

20
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:13.480
by YouTube listens, Neil's had a lot of stuff going

21
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.159
on since then. We're going to get into that in

22
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.760
a minute, but I want to make sure people are

23
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.480
aware of that. He's starting to put out some really

24
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.760
interesting books, and he's been nice enough to send a

25
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.599
few over to me. You can get Understanding Bigfoot, a

26
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.280
guide for outdoor enthusiasts, which is awesome, and Bigfoot in Georgia,

27
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.920
The Cohabituation chronicles when Bigfoot let us know they were there,

28
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.599
And that's book one out of five in a series.

29
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.040
And you just look up Neil Ryder on Amazon. But

30
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:45.959
welcome to the show.

31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.239
Neil.

32
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.079
How are you doing today, Suri?

33
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.439
I'm doing great. Jeremy, how you doing? Hopefully you're staying warm?

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.920
Yeah, I mean we are trying my friend with negative

35
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.840
thirty wind chill last Friday and they closed all the schools.

36
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.040
But right now we're starting to get out of it.

37
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.959
So fingers crossed that we are we're out of the

38
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.960
cold season. But uh, man, Neil, looks like you have

39
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.479
been busy. I'm always looking at your posts you're putting

40
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.599
out there on the Bigfoot talk dot Com Facebook page.

41
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.400
But man, you know, in case this is a listeners

42
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.439
first first run in with you could you give. Is

43
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.120
it possible to give a little bit of background about

44
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.800
how we've gotten to the place where we are now

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.479
with everything you've got going on on your property.

46
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.479
Sure, it's been kind of crazy. I believed a long

47
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.800
time ago because I was always interested in cryptis and

48
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.080
it was a fifty to fifty chance of Bigfoot was

49
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.800
actually real hunted on the live fish, been in the

50
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.479
outdoor worst. So I was always good at noticing patterns

51
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.919
and thought I knew a lot about the outdoors. But

52
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.719
then I get what about property for a retirement home.

53
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.240
After we had been here for a few years, I'd

54
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.080
seen things that didn't make any sense. But all of

55
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.919
a sudden, a family group of bigfoot let me know

56
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.080
they were here. And what started that was I put

57
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.240
a bigfoot cut out in the backyard, and I guess

58
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.680
they thought that I knew they were here, so they

59
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.639
started whistling and hitting the house and letting us know

60
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.840
they were here. So we did a lot of interactions.

61
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.960
In the episode that Jeremiah was talking about was six

62
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.039
point fifty nine. It tells a lot about the beginning story,

63
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.120
which I won't get into that because that's a forty

64
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.280
five minute thing of all the information in it, all

65
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.960
the stuff that was weird that I saw. But anyway,

66
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.280
there was a family group. We started building trust back

67
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.879
and forth, and it's based on trust and respect. You know.

68
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.960
I would give them stuff, they would give me stuff back,

69
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.800
and it just started. It started an amazing adventure. I

70
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.560
know there's a lot of people that helped them cohabitate

71
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.439
with them and have them around that I wanted to

72
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.240
learn as much as they could about them. There was

73
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.759
a family group. It was a male that his print

74
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.680
was nineteen and a half inches and ten and a

75
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.759
half inches wide. There was a female at the beginning,

76
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.959
her footprint was thirteen and a half inches long and

77
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:28.600
eight inches wide. There was a juvenile and his footprint

78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.959
was nine and a half inches long and it was

79
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.399
real narrow and only had four toes. And then there

80
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.439
was a young one that was six and a half

81
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:43.279
inches long. So when we built up the respect with them,

82
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.279
they quit hiding their prints. I mean, so I could

83
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.000
go and see what they're doing by their prints. They

84
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.399
quit hiding them and they knew I loved their prints

85
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.360
and everything. So the family group was here. But then

86
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.160
I started a gifting station, which I know that people

87
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.160
say don't give them food. But I was young and

88
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.439
dumb in the big foot world then I didn't know

89
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.680
any better. I thought they were just another animal like deer,

90
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.199
wild hogs, squirrels, everything else. You know, they eat food,

91
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.759
they go away, you know, no problem. Now I've had

92
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.319
no negative impact from that at all. But they do

93
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.959
let me know if they're out of food. I don't

94
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:29.920
give them food all the time. I give them a

95
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.680
lot of other objects. And I actually have run many

96
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.839
tests with them just to see what they would do

97
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.480
to it and learn the amazing things about them. But

98
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.639
after a while they made a nursery site. Now that

99
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.639
is weird because at certain times of years it would

100
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.600
mark their trails, so the new ones coming in to

101
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.319
find where they're going and find the trails. And I

102
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.399
always knew when they would be coming in because they

103
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.199
would mark the trails about into two weeks ahead of it.

104
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.199
But there would be two to three babies come in.

105
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.439
There would be a juvenile with each baby. The mom

106
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.240
was here all the time, and there was an extra juvenile.

107
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.000
I don't know if it was a day watcher, a

108
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.639
fill in something just helping the mom. I'm not sure.

109
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.439
Now the male would come and go. He wasn't here

110
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.040
all the time. But the nursery site was an amazing

111
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.040
time because I had all these We had these little

112
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.720
ones on the property and they would walk in our backyard,

113
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.279
they would look in the windows, they would give us gifts,

114
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.839
they would they would play with our dogs, and so

115
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.639
it was an amazing time. Then things changed to present.

116
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.800
They clear cut about seven hundred acres around our property,

117
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.079
and we have a major crossing of bigfoot here at

118
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:02.720
this location. We have four different streams coming in from

119
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:08.000
four different bottoms where they kind of the first two

120
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.959
meet it makes a bigger stream, and then another one

121
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.480
comes in and meet, and then it goes out the

122
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.680
other side. But there's four different bottoms that converge at

123
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.399
this one site, and each one of them have ridges

124
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.199
along the edges. So it's a major crossing spot for

125
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.800
them because they use the waterways and the bottoms to

126
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.160
move from place to place. But when they cut all

127
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.399
that property, most of our property is hardwoods, so in

128
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.920
the winter time a lot of times they we'd go

129
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.759
to safe zones. Well, the safe zones are now cut

130
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.120
clear cut, and I mean clearcut to the ground. They

131
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.120
didn't plan anything, They just clear cut everything to the ground.

132
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.160
It was terrible. So now the people around us that

133
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.720
knew about them being here are actually shooting onto our

134
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:05.240
property trying to them, and amazingly enough, they're still trying

135
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.879
to stay here. So I'm still interacting with them, but

136
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.439
now they're hiding their prints. They will interact with me

137
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.560
some Like about a week and a half ago, I

138
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.079
was down at the gifting station and one of them

139
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.360
gave me a two in the afternoon, gave me a

140
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:30.639
fake alcohol, and then another one, probably thirty yards from it,

141
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.200
a littler one, gave me a fake alcohol. And I

142
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.120
know they're fake because I heard them that they can

143
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.679
imitate anything. But they were letting me know that they

144
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.879
were still here, and where they were at was away

145
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.559
from the shooting. As a matter of fact, they have

146
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.360
made a blind where they can see the gifting station

147
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.320
in an area that people don't go in to get

148
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.519
shot at, so they're actually avoiding it now. I'm hoping

149
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.960
that at some point in time the stuff will grow

150
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.279
back and then we can get back to normal. But

151
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.360
until then, at least, I'm very excited about the fact

152
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.159
that they're staying here on the property. Now. A lot

153
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.200
of people ask me a lot of questions. Now, I

154
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.039
did the podcast number six fifty nine that tells a

155
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.879
lot of the interactions, and we've had a ton of interactions.

156
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.279
That was only a part of them, but it was

157
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.759
two hours worth the interactions in the beginning story. And

158
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.720
then then another one, number seven hundred that told about

159
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.200
the sightings that we've had on here, the ones that

160
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.480
I've seen on here. Now, my son's seen for my

161
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.679
wife's seen a couple, so others have been seen by

162
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.480
you know, other people here. But some people ask me,

163
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.360
and so I've got some things that I can tell

164
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.159
you about. I've got a lot of stuff I can

165
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.240
tell you about, but a lot of people ask me questions,

166
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.600
and I like to go ahead and tell people what

167
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.759
I've seen herd. Some people said, asked me, because we

168
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.519
built a great relationship, have I ever been growled at?

169
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.559
And the answer is yes, I've been growled at twice.

170
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.000
One of them I should have been growled at and

171
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.360
the other one I shouldn't have got growled at. And

172
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:23.159
I can tell you them real quick. The first one,

173
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.840
my wife had a party with some family members over here,

174
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:32.240
and several of them knew about Bigfoot being here. So

175
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.320
some of them wanted me to go and show them

176
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.480
some footprints and stuff, so my wife pushed me to

177
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.600
do it. I didn't really want to do it because

178
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.799
I know they don't want it to be seen, but

179
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.120
my wife wanted me to do it. So I drove

180
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.279
a group over to two people over to the pond

181
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.799
and the water had gotten real low, and one had

182
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.360
stepped in the mud. Two steps in the mud and

183
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.679
some really drink deep. But you could see clear print

184
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:03.279
clear as day. They actually took and had broken sticks

185
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.679
and put over it to try to hide the hole,

186
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.279
because they always try to hide it. They don't want

187
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.000
it to be that exposed. They don't want anything that

188
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.559
could be castable. But they tried to hide it, and

189
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.200
they even put some broken branches on the clay on

190
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.279
the mud to make it look normal that it's broken,

191
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.480
which it wasn't. Well, when those people were looking at

192
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:33.519
it behind hill forty yards from me, one of them

193
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.840
barked at me, and I knew that's where one stayed

194
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.720
because any broken branches at me before back there to

195
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.840
let me know that behind that hill it has its

196
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.440
daytime area to say, so it's right behind that hill.

197
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.240
So I knew it embarked that I knew it was

198
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.840
them saying, oh, don't be doing that, you know. So

199
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.480
I went and brought those two back. Then my wife

200
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.720
wanted me to take somebody else well, because they told

201
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.200
him about how good those prints were, so it took

202
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.039
them over there. Well, this time they barked again, even

203
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:12.480
a little more aggravated, so I got him out of there.

204
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.919
And then one guy wanted to see the gifting station,

205
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.039
so I took him down there and there was a

206
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.919
baby footprint that was clear as day. You could see

207
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.840
the heel, the toes, everything on it. And I said, yeah,

208
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.000
this is a baby, because they have it's a nursery

209
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.919
site right now. And as he was looking at it,

210
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:36.159
he was talking. He was saying, look, this is perfect print.

211
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.960
It's about four inches long, forty four and a half

212
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.919
inches long. This is a perfect print. How can anybody

213
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.440
deny that they're here? I said, well, it just happens,

214
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.879
a lot of people don't believe in them, so, you know,

215
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.720
but there you go, you're looking at a baby print.

216
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.440
And as I said that to him, he started talking

217
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.279
about it. And on the other side of the creek,

218
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.159
one crowd at me and I knew i'd been busted

219
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.360
because they had already warned me twice about not letting

220
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.759
people see their footprints, and here I am showing a

221
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.840
baby printing. They're real protective of other babies. So it

222
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.879
growled at me on the other side of the creek.

223
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.960
So I kind of let them know I wouldn't do

224
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.480
it again. And I hadn't done that again, you know,

225
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:28.559
with people that are like that, because they just don't

226
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.919
They don't want to be noticed. They want to be

227
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.799
remain hidding themselves. The second one that got growled at

228
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.320
was a what I believed to be a juvenile male.

229
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.960
I took some food down to the gifting station and

230
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:47.679
there were a lot of prints that day, and I

231
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.360
like to keep up with how many are there are

232
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.759
the juveniles staying with the same baby, so on and

233
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:54.679
so forth. So I got my ruler out I was

234
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.919
measuring on keeping an account of it, and I guess

235
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.679
I took too long, and he was hungry growled at me,

236
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.639
and then I just kind of laughed because I knew

237
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.440
what it was. And then a couple of minutes later

238
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.679
he growled again, and I just kind of said, uh uh,

239
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.480
don't be growling at me. You know, y'all, let me

240
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.519
see the prince, and I put stuff down here for

241
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.919
you don't crowl at me. So it really was funny.

242
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.879
The next time I went down there, I saw a

243
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.480
bunch more prints, so I was looking at the prince again.

244
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:36.039
I can't say that he learned from me, but he

245
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.799
didn't growl at me, and I think he was a he.

246
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.480
It could have been she. I just I had to

247
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.679
go by my feelings, and I don't know if my

248
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.399
feelings are right, but I do know that so far

249
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:52.080
they've never been wrong. This time he didn't growl. This

250
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.639
time he snapped the branch and then he sat in

251
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.039
another branch, and I just laughed and said, okay, well,

252
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.720
at least you didn't growl. And all he wanted was

253
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.679
me to leave because he wanted either some nutter butters

254
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:08.519
or he wanted some peanut sweetened sweet and salty granola bars,

255
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:13.720
one or the other. And then the next thing people

256
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:19.559
ask me a lot is what's the scariest moment I have. Now,

257
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.559
this is a weird situation, and I don't talk about

258
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.519
it very much at all, But anyway, one day my

259
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.799
wife and I went down to the pond and we

260
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:36.320
were late getting the pond mode around. It was. We

261
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.519
were about a month and a half late. We usually

262
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.840
mowed in March, and we were late, and it was

263
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.360
so high on the edges, which I usually do it

264
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.519
with a weed eater. I was going to have to

265
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.240
take the lawnmower and run over the edge to cut it.

266
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.960
And she was on the riding lawnmower mowing the grass

267
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:59.679
on the tall grass in the middle. But it was

268
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.440
the pond was made with a bulldozer, so it's got

269
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.759
a two to three foot drop straight down. She's not

270
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.200
going to get close to it, and how the side

271
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:13.279
beside the zero turn flip over on her. As soon

272
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.879
as I get down there, I get the lawne more

273
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.519
off and all of a sudden, the hair on my

274
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:26.159
arms stands up. I told my wife and said, Babe,

275
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.240
that isn't good. She said, what I said, look at

276
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.639
my arms? She said, your hair standing up. I said,

277
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.879
that's only happened one other time in my life, and

278
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.120
that's when I was circled by a pack of wild

279
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.039
dogs and they were moving in on me. That's the

280
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.759
only time that's ever happened. So this is not good.

281
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.480
So about ten or twelve seconds later, we're talking about it,

282
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.759
and the hair went down. Then everything kind of calmed down.

283
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.720
The atmosphere changed and stuff, and so I said, okay,

284
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.320
well I think everything's good now, because whatever it was

285
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.120
must be gone. So then I started mowing on the

286
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.960
edge and I got to the end that's closest to

287
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:13.880
their trail, and something happened to me that is really weird.

288
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:19.319
Some people have talked about it's not a common thing.

289
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:26.160
But in my head, a deep, base manly voice said,

290
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:29.599
and oh, I forgot to tell you this. The hair

291
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.720
stood up on arm again. But the hair stood up

292
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.079
on the back of my neck, and that has never happened.

293
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.839
This voice came into my head and said, you need

294
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:45.000
to leave now. I'm like, holy cow, it's the big mail.

295
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.000
The big male's here and wants to me to leave.

296
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.519
And all of a sudden, I start thinking in my head.

297
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.039
I start thinking in my head, Okay, if I run

298
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:57.960
that way, no, he can get me, because I've got

299
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.240
the feeling that he is with ten yards behind me,

300
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:06.680
probably seven yards close. I'd always heard don't look the

301
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.039
big mal in the eyes, because it'll mess you up

302
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:10.599
where you don't want to go. In the woods again

303
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.119
and all this stuff. So I want to look at it.

304
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.920
But I knew what was going on. So I'm going

305
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.160
through these scenarios. Run that way, know it, get me

306
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.880
go through there, no go to the side beside. The

307
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.599
only thing I've got in there is a little three

308
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.920
or four inch night What can I do with that?

309
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.920
We'll get something like that. And then the voice came

310
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.519
back in my head that said there's nothing you can

311
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.200
do to me. I forgot that. You know, if he's

312
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.880
talking to my head, he's reading my thoughts. I forgot that,

313
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:50.200
and I was like, holy cow, okay, And then I

314
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.799
in my head I said back, you're right, there is

315
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.279
nothing I can do to you. But we don't mean

316
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.440
y'all any harm. We're just down here trying to clean

317
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.319
up the grass around the pond. I'm mowing this and

318
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.839
my wife's mowing that. As soon as we get done,

319
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.960
we're gonna leave. Y'all are welcome here. Nothing else was said,

320
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.200
but after about ten or twelve seconds, the hair went

321
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.039
down on the back of my neck and arm again.

322
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.440
So we went and finished up. Now my wife was hot.

323
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.720
She wanted to stay by the ponds. I wasn't going

324
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:24.559
to tell her what happened. I didn't want her to

325
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.480
be scared of them, and so I told her into

326
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.839
going to the house and we'd make some lunch because

327
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.400
we hadn't had lunch yet. Really, it's just a way

328
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.359
to leave. So I was telling them the truth. Now,

329
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.680
I really do believe with the big male that had

330
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.519
a huge impact on the relationship because I did exactly

331
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.640
what I said I was going to do. And because

332
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.680
I did that and left like I said I was

333
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.440
gonna do, I think that built more in the respect

334
00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.039
and trust. And I know that really sounds weird, but

335
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.400
I can only tell you what happened to me. Now,

336
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.839
people that have heard that have asked me. They said,

337
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.960
so what do you do? Do you still go down there? Yeah? Absolutely?

338
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.559
They said, well, what kind of gun do you carry?

339
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:18.680
I've got a lot of guns at the house. People

340
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.200
in the South have guns and love guns. I've never

341
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.319
taken a gun on this property. I to carry a shovel,

342
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.559
so if I have any problems with snakes, I can

343
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.880
use a shovel on a snake. I carry a rake

344
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.640
if I need to clean something up. I've never carried

345
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.880
a gun. We don't fear them here. They've done all

346
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:45.480
kind of interactions with us. Here we say the unusual

347
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.319
is the usual, because there's things that happen all the

348
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.519
time that you just don't expect. So that's the one

349
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.400
that comes to the scariest thing that ever happened. Now,

350
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.720
I did on an expedition. One time I was in

351
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.359
the woods and on an expedition, and I had stay

352
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.720
by the fire because it seemed like when I stayed

353
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.640
by the fire, they still come to me. Things happened.

354
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:16.400
It's just I don't know. Things happened. And I heard

355
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:22.079
mouthpops and then the mouthpops from two different directions. There

356
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.559
her mouthpops, and where I was sitting there was some

357
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.799
woods behind me, and the woods behind me, there was

358
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:30.799
some mouth pops in it, and I can hear it

359
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.119
ease and up. It got to within five yards off me.

360
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.960
I was actually expecting you to touch my shoulder at

361
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:43.240
any time. It didn't and then it left. But she

362
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.200
loved one of the people there that runs expeditions, she

363
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:48.839
heard it. She heard it walking up and the other

364
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.960
one was over there behind her, but it never walked

365
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.440
up to her, and she was just waiting. She just

366
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.599
thought it was gonna touch me. Also, but it never did.

367
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.839
But then after everybody got back, the people that went

368
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.839
down the trails and stuff, then we heard a bunch

369
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.480
of calls that were from birds that don't make calls

370
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:11.720
at night, which is really weird. There are things that

371
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:16.160
are patterns that they have that people talk about, one

372
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:21.720
of which is don't throw things back at them. They

373
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:26.240
will throw stuff, they won't hit you, but don't throw

374
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.720
it back at them because they think of that as

375
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:32.000
a challenge. Well I was on the expedition one time.

376
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.799
One on this little ridge behind this brush threw a

377
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.880
stick next to one of them. A girl that was

378
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.480
on the expedition, well, she thought it was going to

379
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.559
be funny, so she wouldn't pick the stick up and

380
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:51.079
threw it back up at him. Well, lucky enough she

381
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.079
had some high boots on, because what happened is that

382
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:58.720
stick came back and hit her where her ankle is,

383
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:04.240
but the boots blocked it. So that's a pattern that

384
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.559
people see. If they throw stuff at you, a lot

385
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.279
of times I think they're just check seeing what you

386
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.039
would do and stuff like that. But if you throw

387
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:16.240
it back to them, I believe they view that as

388
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:18.599
a challenge. And that was kind of proved to me

389
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:26.559
that that's what happens. There's another thing that on expeditions,

390
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.279
I learned that I'd heard. I'd heard that if a

391
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:35.480
male a person a person, a male human peas on

392
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:42.240
a tree and the male bigfa don't like it. And

393
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:46.960
so one time we were on the exhibition exhibition expedition

394
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.839
and my wife had just got a new thermal. It

395
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.880
was learning how to use it. She loved it. It

396
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.079
was so clear. But a guy going over there pete

397
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.000
on a big oak tree. Well, she had walked up

398
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.400
over there after that and she was looking down in

399
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:05.160
the bottom as she saw something big and hot and

400
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:09.279
didn't know what it was. And Sheila was again there.

401
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.799
She came over and looked at it. Now that thermal

402
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.880
had pictures that he could take of it. And when

403
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.000
they started asking me about the pictures, I said the

404
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:24.359
pictures to them and they said it looks weird. I said, yeah,

405
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:29.160
it looks weird. It's because you see where it is.

406
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.359
Do you see all this heat on the ground. I said,

407
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.599
it was peeing at the base of a tree. I'm like, wow,

408
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.599
you got that old thermal. Yep, got that old thermal.

409
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.319
Where one was standing is about forty yards away and

410
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.599
it came up and it started peeing at the base

411
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:53.240
of a tree as if remarking his territory. So in

412
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.680
the book Understanding Bigfoot, I do have in there, you know,

413
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.440
if you're out in the woods and you're a guy,

414
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:02.680
don't pee on a tree. You pee out in the

415
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.759
opening stuff, but don't pee on the base of a tree,

416
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.319
because I believe, especially if it's getting close to mating season,

417
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.160
then they really take offense to that because they mark

418
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:16.559
their territories like other animals do, or at least that's

419
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.720
what I believe by what I've heard from other people

420
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:27.079
and that event. There's a lot of things on the

421
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:31.200
Facebook page. People always ask me questions on and I'm

422
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:36.240
going to try to answer them. Now. One of the

423
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.480
biggest is, with all the things that we have going on,

424
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:42.240
with them going to the Gift sensation so much and

425
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.240
everything going on, why don't I put a camera down there? Well,

426
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.880
cameras do not work. As a matter of fact, every

427
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:54.480
time I see a big foot show and they're putting

428
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:58.599
cameras out, I just laugh to myself. The only way

429
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.759
you're going to see them on camera is if it's

430
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.119
one that walks through an area that it doesn't know

431
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:08.079
and it's not paying attention or it wants to be seen.

432
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.160
And here that's been the occasion, and they don't want

433
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.599
me putting any cameras around the gift in the station.

434
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.480
I have seen some glimpses of some hair at the

435
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.599
edge of the camera when I had the cameras at

436
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.559
the area where I have deer to come to. And

437
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.359
then people say, well, how did they know? Well, I

438
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.200
believe that they can see the infrared on the camera,

439
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.279
for one thing, but you can actually have cameras out

440
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:45.079
there without infrared. I also believe that there is a

441
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.680
chance that they can either hear or pick up on

442
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:54.279
the frequency and know that they're there. And we actually

443
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.680
had a couple of people come down here and they

444
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:01.680
were trying to get pictures off them. One of them

445
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:05.400
put a one by one camera in a little bush

446
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.519
and zip tied the limbs together to hold it in place,

447
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.559
and he did not have that on the infrared. It

448
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:13.880
was going to be a full moon night and you

449
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:15.839
would get to see stuff, so he didn't have it

450
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.200
on infrared. On the other side of it, we had

451
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:25.319
a plot watcher that would go off intermittently and so

452
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:31.200
it should catch anything that's going on. Well, what happened

453
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.759
is the next morning they go down there, the plot

454
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.400
watcher had been turned on the tree away from where

455
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.839
the Gifton station is. The one edge by one inch

456
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:46.160
stealth camera had been poked out of those tree limbs

457
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:50.200
and was on the ground to where he couldn't take

458
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:54.279
any pictures. And behind that tree there were a footprinted

459
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:56.559
pressures where something had come up to the behind that

460
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.440
tree and poked it out. And I stayed away when

461
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.480
they were doing it, and I didn't know anything about it.

462
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.400
But then they tried one other time to do stuff

463
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.359
and the same type of stuff happened. They would either

464
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.319
put stuff in front of it to blocking or they

465
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:16.559
would turn it. People have even said that they drained

466
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:21.720
batteries from them, and I've had that happen here now.

467
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.000
I had it where I was when I was looking

468
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.160
at the deer in the field. I had one camera

469
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:28.400
on a trail and I put brand new batteries in

470
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.759
it out of a pack, and then I went to

471
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.000
the one that was looking over the area where the

472
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.119
deer eat with the same pack. They were the same

473
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.079
age cameras. Never had a problem with them. The one

474
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:46.400
on the trail ran for about two months to three months.

475
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.680
The one by that lasted one week, and not only that,

476
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.839
but later on I found that that one got turned

477
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.079
one night and they actually grabbed a deer from where

478
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.960
I was feeding them from there. So I think that

479
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.200
they are able to do things and intelligent enough to

480
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.799
know that the cameras and what they're there for, and

481
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.079
they don't do it, so it really does not work.

482
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.839
So that's the thing about the cameras that a lot

483
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.200
of people ask about, because I can't tell you how

484
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.240
many times people ask that about why don't you put

485
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:31.079
cameras down there? The next thing is the next biggest

486
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:35.880
thing is DNA. Why don't I get DNA? I've had

487
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.839
DNA things with DNA on it, but it's too expensive

488
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.319
to do it yourself. And I've even tried to give

489
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.160
some to a study. But when you give them to

490
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:53.400
a study in the chain of custody, they want to

491
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.640
know exactly where it came from. I'm not willing to

492
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.400
do that. I'm trying to protect this group. I want

493
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:02.759
to make sure they're safe as much as I can,

494
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.599
so I'm not willing to put down the location that

495
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:11.440
they're at to do the DNA. I had some perfect DNA. Well,

496
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.720
I actually have blood on the thing one time. So

497
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.480
if anybody says, do are they flesh and blood, yes

498
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.519
they are, because I've had one bleed on the gifting station.

499
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:25.960
I'd put some stainless steel on the legs to stop

500
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:29.759
the raccoons from getting up there, and one of them

501
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.960
came up and touched the edge of it, and blood

502
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:38.519
droplets were on the gifting station. And when they would eat,

503
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.440
when the crumbs would go in the corners of the containers,

504
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.160
they would stick their finger down in there to get

505
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:47.799
the crumbs on it and lick it. So I know

506
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.720
that it was one of them because you could see

507
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:54.160
a finger sliding down the side of it. And it

508
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:58.480
screamed for thirty to forty minutes because it either got

509
00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:02.480
salt or sugar in that, and I guess it burned

510
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.279
like crazy because it was creaming for thirty to forty minutes.

511
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:07.960
My wife called me to go down there. I thought

512
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.960
somebody had put a trap or something and it got

513
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.440
caught by trout. But then I realized what had happened,

514
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:21.119
and I knew exactly what had happened, So the DNA

515
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.640
just I've tried to give it, but it just doesn't

516
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:26.920
work out because I'm not willing to give the location

517
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:30.640
and it's too expensive for me to do by myself.

518
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:35.640
And honestly, I'm a knowwherre of their existence. I'm not

519
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.799
trying to prove to people that exist. I'm trying to

520
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:44.160
learn as much as I can learn about Bigfoot, their family,

521
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.480
the social structure of the family group, the social structure

522
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.559
of the nursery group, how they do things and share

523
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:54.799
it with others, because there's a lot of people that

524
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.880
have cohabited with it, but very few of them try

525
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:02.160
to share what seeing because they don't want people to

526
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:06.599
call them crazy, or their family members say never talk

527
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.839
about it for a variety of reasons. So there's very

528
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:14.119
few that actually talk about it. And I'm trying to

529
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:18.720
share the information about them, not prove to people that

530
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:27.000
they're real. The next thing is the smell. People say

531
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.039
that something came up to them, but it couldn't have

532
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.880
been a big Foot because it didn't smell. It didn't

533
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.759
have the smell. I've smelled the smell here six times,

534
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.359
and the smell is going to range or these here.

535
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.000
It's going to range from pure skunk smell. We don't

536
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.200
have these skunks here, but it has a pure They

537
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:49.359
can have a pure stump smell. It can have a

538
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:57.839
skunk road kill combination smell. It can have a skunk, skunk,

539
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:03.240
wet dogs smell, or any of them by themselves. And

540
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.319
once you smell it, that is imprinted on your brain.

541
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.559
So the next time you smell it, your brain's gonna

542
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.200
say a big foot nearby. I promise you will never

543
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.799
forget it. But that's the smells that I've smelled here.

544
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:21.000
And I don't know if each one of them has

545
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:26.480
individual smells, but I do know that in the beginning,

546
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.000
when they were here and I would get close to them,

547
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:33.680
that's when I would smell the smells. The more the

548
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.839
trust and respect God, the less we smelled it. And

549
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.799
as a matter of fact, the last one I smelled

550
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:44.000
was a baby because they got close to a baby,

551
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.079
and that was a couple of years ago. So now

552
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.680
I don't they don't have a they don't have a smell.

553
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.079
So it leads me to believe that they have a

554
00:33:56.119 --> 00:34:01.720
gland and can admit it themselves, or it's admitted when

555
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:07.440
they get nervous or a little scared, would admit it,

556
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.760
but I can't believe that they would have it all

557
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.800
the time. And I know they don't because I've had them.

558
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.400
I've heard them coming down trees within twenty yards of

559
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:19.800
me and there was no smell. So they definitely don't

560
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:24.199
have the smell all the time. Not only that, but

561
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.119
just think about it. They're hunters. There are hunters and

562
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:32.480
ambush hunters, so if they smelled that bad, they would

563
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:34.960
never be able to catch a deer because the deer

564
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.320
would smell them from hundreds of yards off and get away.

565
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.920
So they can't smell like that all the time. But

566
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.400
I really think that the more they got to know

567
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.599
us and know that we were safe, it quit rising

568
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:54.000
to the point of where the smell would come out.

569
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.519
Or maybe they were just introducing themselves to me at

570
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.760
the beginning and didn't do it the end. I don't

571
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:03.480
know exactly the reason, but I do think it's a

572
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.760
gland that it comes from, so like a skunk. Hat

573
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.840
of what causes the smell to come out, not sure,

574
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.239
but they don't do it all the time, So that's

575
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.800
something that a lot of people ask about the smell.

576
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.000
And again, what I'm telling you is from I'm big

577
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.800
on patterns. So what these things I'm telling you are

578
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:30.039
the patterns that I'm seeing, and then what I hear

579
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.480
from others I put to the test with the patterns

580
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:39.679
and see what matches the most. One of the next

581
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:45.559
thing is people ask me about the breeding time, because

582
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.480
since we had a nursery side, we've had eleven babies here.

583
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.440
Out of the eleven babies, now, the baby prints four

584
00:35:55.519 --> 00:36:00.639
inches to four and a half inches long, and we've

585
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.559
had eleven different babies here. Nine of the eleven have

586
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:09.159
been during a three month period. Then we've had one

587
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.119
in the middle of October and we had one the

588
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:16.599
first week of December. But all the others would be

589
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.840
in the spring and early summer of when they would

590
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.920
be born. Now that's when they would show up here.

591
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.360
Now do they do that just because that's when they

592
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.159
were coming to the nursery or do they all do that?

593
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:39.400
I think that I think they do have a breeding season,

594
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.639
much like deer do. But I think that they can

595
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:47.960
breed anytime. They won't if a female comes into estus

596
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:53.159
or heat. So that's another thing that people ask me

597
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:58.039
a lot. I want to talk I want to tell

598
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.800
about something that happened to me, that backs up what

599
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:08.559
so many people say. One night, I was got up

600
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:11.000
around it was probably around two thirty in the morning

601
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.320
to go to the bathroom. And when I go to

602
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:19.199
the bathroom and the dogs bar, then I always open

603
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.079
the door to see if I can hear any vocalizations

604
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.840
or hear anything like that. A lot of times they

605
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.360
would come right behind the bathroom and even tap on

606
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.480
the window for some reason, they seem to know when

607
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:35.199
I'm there. But I opened the door, all of a sudden,

608
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:41.800
I started hearing something sniff. Now, what was sniffing me

609
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.199
could not have been anything but a bigfoot. And the

610
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:52.159
reason I say that is this sniff had so much

611
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:56.920
volume going into the body, and it was so long.

612
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:03.719
It was twelve was a minimum of nine to twelve

613
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:08.119
seconds filling up his lungs, and it sounded it sounded

614
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:10.360
like he was sucking in as fast as he could

615
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:16.719
he or she could, and the volume going in was astounding.

616
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.280
And I think a lot of people when you see

617
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.800
pictures of almost of them, how the jet shaped nose where

618
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.920
it's real wide at the bottom. I think it's so

619
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:31.199
wide is because it has to be big enough to

620
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.480
take that area. Then I closed the door and I

621
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:41.800
tried to breathe it as I could, as hard as

622
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:46.199
I could. It lasted three seconds. So think about that.

623
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.280
It's at least three to four times the volume air

624
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.519
going into their lungs than what we have going into

625
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:59.559
our lungs. And that backs up what people say that

626
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:03.920
they're love capacity is just huge. And I've just been

627
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.559
lucky enough to have that instance one time for me

628
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:11.920
to learn exactly how much that's true. I mean, that

629
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:17.400
was crazy. I mean, even if I take it in slow,

630
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.719
I can't get more than four or five seconds. I mean,

631
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:27.119
it was just crazy, the amount of volume that it

632
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:32.360
was breathing in out of time. The other thing that

633
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:35.639
has amazed me so much about them is I was

634
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.920
talking about the pond, and when you step into the pond,

635
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.760
it's got a drop of two to three feet. Now

636
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:48.639
for me, I'm six four. For me to step out

637
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:52.000
of the pond, I would have to have something to

638
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.920
pull on, and I may even have to be on

639
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.880
my knee and then pull myself out and then stand up.

640
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:03.320
When they step out the pond, they step up and

641
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.480
their first step is one I have to two foot

642
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:11.519
past the edge. I don't know how they do that.

643
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.880
The strength of the size that they have to be,

644
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:17.840
the strength of the thighs, and the flexibility to be

645
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.639
able to pull their leg up that much Number one

646
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.880
and reach out and then lift the weight on one leg.

647
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.320
I do know that most people agree that they have

648
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:31.400
afford lean to them, so they're way is more out front.

649
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:37.440
But the strength, when I see that happening with an adult,

650
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.400
I'm just a session in my head. I'm like, There's

651
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.880
no way I could do anything like that. None possible.

652
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.480
How in the world they do it Because there's nothing

653
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:48.280
around for them to pull up on them. They just

654
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:53.480
raise their leg up, step out, and walk out a pond.

655
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:59.400
I thought that was absolutely amazing, the strength that they

656
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:02.199
have in their legs and flexibility they have in their legs.

657
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:06.440
Honestly believe it almost has to be attached differently to

658
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.440
do that. But again I have no way of knowing that,

659
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.880
you know. So the next thing I want I learned

660
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:18.960
now I learned this early on is their arm length.

661
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:24.800
Their arm length is crazy. When we first made the

662
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:29.400
gifting station, I wanted to get some good footprints. This

663
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.360
was before they started leaving them on their own, so

664
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:36.039
I dissed around the gifting station to break up the

665
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.920
ground so I can see good get good footprints. I

666
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:43.639
used a five foot wide disk, and of course I

667
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:47.079
didn't hit the edge of the thing, and I did

668
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:48.840
it three or four times, so it probably went out

669
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:53.320
a little more. So I'm estimating that, uh, it went

670
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.960
out six foot on all sides. Well. When we got

671
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.239
the corner post up to the gifting stage, i'd already

672
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:04.679
been given them apples. I decided to put an apple

673
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.639
on each corner post. There were four by fours when

674
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:11.400
they were ten foot long, so by the time you

675
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:15.280
plant in the ground it was probably nine foot something

676
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.360
like that. So I put an apple on the top

677
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:21.599
of each of the corner posts because I wanted to

678
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:26.760
get some good footprints. What amazed me was when I

679
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:31.159
went back down there there were no footprints, but the

680
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.440
apples were gone. It hadn't rained, it had only been

681
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:40.119
two days. The only print I saw was a squirrel

682
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:44.559
print in one corner. But I saw no footprint, none

683
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.760
had been disguised, none was in there at all. It

684
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:52.199
was amazing that I said, like, how did they get

685
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:56.920
these apples? And then I looked out from the corner

686
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:59.800
of each one of them, the grass was stop stopped,

687
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.639
and it's flattened. And I said, wait a second. That

688
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:10.159
means one was standing here had to reach six foot

689
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:14.639
to give the apple off that post and eat it.

690
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:21.679
I said, that is crazy. So then I had a

691
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:27.320
little little study. I've learned things by using common sense

692
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:32.519
and reasonable deduction. Okay, I'm not a scientist. I don't

693
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:36.719
use any true scientific method. I try to use common sense.

694
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:42.559
So what I did was, I'm tall, I'm six four

695
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:47.320
and have long arms. My arms are thirty two inches long.

696
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:51.599
So if you take my arms at thirty two inches long,

697
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:55.199
my arms are forty two percent of the length of

698
00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:00.760
my height. Now for me to reach on to my

699
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:05.480
knee and get my hands where it's just, you know,

700
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.599
not all the way on my knee, but the fingers

701
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:12.119
about halfway on the fingers is on the knees, it

702
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:17.400
would be another eight inches. So that means their hands

703
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:24.400
would have had to been forty inches long. And if

704
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:26.559
one was the heighth of me and they was forty

705
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:29.639
inches long, that's fifty three percent of their body length.

706
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:33.639
Is what their arm length is. Now, I don't take

707
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.880
anything else into account. I'm just taking height versus height

708
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:41.480
and arm length versus where the arms are. A lot

709
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.599
of people say the knees are lower, which could be,

710
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.280
but even it could be a little bit more than

711
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:52.480
that because they have basically their neck is a lot

712
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:57.920
shorter than ours is, so their shoulders would be higher

713
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.079
on their body in what hours would if you have

714
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:06.960
a sworder neck with the same height. But anyway, the

715
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:11.360
own expedition befoot. One time they had this lady on

716
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:16.960
that would look at the height. They said that they

717
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.960
had a way to determine by its foot leap. So

718
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:28.320
I used the measurements that she gave. The mail's nineteen

719
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.360
and a half inches long. I took the nineteen and

720
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.480
a half inches by her formula, it said that that

721
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:42.480
one individual was going to be twelve foot three inches tall.

722
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.320
So when I took that times of fifty three percent,

723
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.960
it said that its arm length would have been six

724
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:52.360
and a half foot six point four nine inches. And

725
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:56.360
I'm like, that's crazy. If it was a big mail

726
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:59.280
that was standing here, which I couldn't make any impression

727
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.519
out because it's so much of it was just flattened.

728
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.480
If it was that big mail, each over there give

729
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:13.480
those apples and eat them. So their arm length is incredible,

730
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.840
I mean, and that kind of backed it up because

731
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.800
the way that they could have grabbed that, there's no

732
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.760
way that they could have jumped up in the air,

733
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.559
grabbed an apple and then landed on the other side.

734
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:33.519
You're talking about a jump of over twenty feet and

735
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:36.960
then over the thing to get it, So it had

736
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:46.800
to be just pure armly. Now, one of the questions

737
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:54.480
that some people have is at the nursery site that

738
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:58.039
we had, what did they make for the babies to

739
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:02.159
stay in? The two people that were here putting cameras

740
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:04.599
out are the people that the cameras out. People I

741
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:06.679
trusted know that I know they aren't going to give

742
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.599
the location away. I didn't tell them about where the

743
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:15.119
mom didn't tell them about where they stayed. There's areas

744
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:18.960
in the woods that I don't go into. It's they

745
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.599
feel like it's stairs. I feel like it's stairs, so

746
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:27.800
I don't go into it. So I didn't go in

747
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:31.119
there at all. But I knew that the mom stayed

748
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.440
up on top of a ridge and at the base

749
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:36.679
of the hill, they had pushed a big tree down

750
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:40.559
and had something there that the little ones were staying in,

751
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:42.559
and the mob from top of the hill could look

752
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:47.679
right down on the babies. So what they found was

753
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:52.760
there was one blind that was made. It was woven

754
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.360
in there and it was really tall, but it was

755
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:00.840
woven there, and it had trails going on both sides

756
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.639
of it and meeting in front of it, and there

757
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:09.079
were holes on it facing the trails. Then a little

758
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.840
bit further down, right below where the mom stayed, there

759
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:18.480
was a huge, huge structure there. It was huge flying there.

760
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.320
They had to basically, they said it was like a

761
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:25.280
two room apartment. They said you had to bend over

762
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:27.039
go into it, but you go into it, you can

763
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:31.840
stand up with cleaning. A room in one section had

764
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:38.519
branches in between it like a nursery. And after they

765
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:41.800
told me that all the stuff in there was fresh

766
00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:45.480
leaves and it all been flattened. And they told me

767
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:51.679
that about the impression they got was in was a nursery,

768
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.239
you know where a baby stayed. And I said, yeah,

769
00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:58.360
you're right. I said, because the mom stayed up on

770
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:01.400
top of the hill, she had something there that's now clearcut.

771
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:08.000
She owns to be able to keep eye on the babies.

772
00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:12.159
And I would think that in that other hide was

773
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:16.599
either where they were one would grab food or maybe

774
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:19.639
even was like a day watcher trying to protect things

775
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:24.760
from going that way, trying to protect them. So they

776
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.079
have the amazing abilities to create structures and weave it

777
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:36.639
together that I don't know how they learned to do it.

778
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.719
I guess over time you would learn to do it.

779
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:42.280
But they said it was incredible. They just said it

780
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.679
was huge. It was like a two room apartment. It

781
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:49.159
was huge. So they actually make things to live in. Now.

782
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.320
I do know that there are some abandoned structures in

783
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.840
that area that I don't go in, so some of

784
00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:00.199
them may stay in those abandoned structures also, but I

785
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:04.719
think that was made during the nursery time for the

786
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:13.039
bank to stay in. Let's see, I've got a lot

787
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:16.480
of other things that have happened that I didn't talk about.

788
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:20.280
One of them was really neat the tree knocks. In

789
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.679
the very beginning, when we would go to the pond,

790
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.039
at least every other time there was a by stream,

791
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:28.360
there was a huge tree, and one would do a

792
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:31.639
tree and I always thought it was probably a day

793
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.199
watcher letting them know that I was. We were down there.

794
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:38.280
But after a while, when we got to where they

795
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:42.199
knew us, something really strange happened. Now I knew where

796
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:44.960
them because she would always do an alcohol up there

797
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.280
on top after the tree knocks, she would do an

798
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.000
alcohol from up there on top of the hill. And

799
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.159
what was crazy about this time was this was right

800
00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:59.280
at the beginning of when they started the new nurse,

801
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:01.559
a new nurse, and I think that was a new

802
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:06.039
one over there that not because it knock. The mom

803
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.320
did an alcohol from the top of the hill. Then

804
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:14.079
the one not begin Then the mom did another alcohol

805
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.960
from top of the hill about one in the afternoon

806
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:21.199
that this was happening. Then there was another tree knock,

807
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:25.599
and then from the top of the hill. The mom

808
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:35.719
was upset. It went something like that to let the

809
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:40.480
one know that, don't do that. You know they're good,

810
00:51:41.159 --> 00:51:45.039
stop doing that. Do you know that ever since that

811
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:49.480
one thing happened, they have never tree knocked again at

812
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:55.239
us from the pond area. Never we had a tree

813
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:56.760
knock down there at the point. Now we know that

814
00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:59.320
there we can see where they're going in and out

815
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:03.719
of pond. They never had a tree knock. So I

816
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:09.679
thought that was really really neat. The one other thing

817
00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:14.239
I'll tell you about the vote, their vocalizations are incredible.

818
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:19.840
They have the ability to mimic anything. Even though the

819
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:23.880
Sierra Sounds think that. They said that they thought they

820
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:27.360
heard the whole all their pots and pans being destroyed.

821
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:32.239
Next morning, nothing had happened. I heard other people say

822
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:35.159
they're out ten miles in the woods that I had

823
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:40.079
to ride horses out and they heard car doors slam.

824
00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:43.480
But there's no cars out there. As a matter of fact,

825
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.000
a lot of times when the little ones would let

826
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:49.440
us know they were around, we would be at the

827
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:53.519
pond and where the blinds were the little one stayed.

828
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:57.639
We would hear a horse, and my wife got so excited.

829
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:00.320
Can you want a horse? She said, there's a horse

830
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:03.000
over there, we can go get it. I just shook

831
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:06.360
my heads a babe, that's not a horse. Heard another

832
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.280
horse went in the same spot, and she goes, there's

833
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:11.840
a horse over there, let's go catch it and get it.

834
00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:14.400
I said, babe, that is too thick. There is no

835
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:17.840
horse over there. That's them letting us know that they're there.

836
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:22.440
There is no horse over there. There's no horses around us.

837
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:24.920
There was no horse over there. It did it those

838
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.320
two times and didn't do it again. But I thought

839
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:35.719
that was see the only thing that that's even stranger

840
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:39.199
than that. Though. We went to the pond one time,

841
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:45.280
and this was also around the nursery time, at the

842
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:49.320
beginning of it, twenty yards from us, I wanted to

843
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:51.840
turn the switch on for the pump to pumps water

844
00:53:51.880 --> 00:54:00.760
into the pond. Twenty yards from us. Most beautiful, soothing, relaxing,

845
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:05.440
incredible whistle you ever heard. My wife goes, did you

846
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.079
And this is twenty yards from us, behind some briar bushes.

847
00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:12.880
My wife goes, did you hear that? I said, yeah,

848
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:17.760
they did it, and she goes, that's the most relaxing,

849
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:21.800
beautiful whistle I've ever heard of my life. Said, yeah,

850
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:27.079
it is. And then it did it a third time,

851
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.760
and I said to my wife, I said, why don't

852
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:33.519
you whistle back to it? So my wife whistled back

853
00:54:33.559 --> 00:54:36.639
to it. And behind that hill is down at the pond,

854
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:40.719
about forty yards from it. The mom or a day watcher.

855
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:45.000
One of them snapped a branch and I'm like, oops,

856
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:49.559
we're in trouble, and she goes why. I said, well,

857
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:52.199
that branch was either being snapped. I let them one

858
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.960
know that they're there to protect them, or they're letting

859
00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:58.760
and they're letting us know that, Hey, don't be fooling

860
00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:04.199
around with one the babies. She goes, I'm not, but

861
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.400
I might take that baby does say in the house,

862
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:08.320
because if I get ever got mad, he could do

863
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:09.960
that a couple of times and I've be calmed down.

864
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:13.519
I said, oh, don't say that. Don't say that. Says

865
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:17.559
he didn't mean that. He didn't mean that. But I've

866
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.639
actually heard bird call that are lasting ten to twelve

867
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:26.440
seconds straight, non stop, that are the most beautiful bird

868
00:55:26.519 --> 00:55:30.000
calls I've ever heard, but are not from any bird

869
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:33.199
call that I know. And I always wonder now when

870
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:35.920
I hear that, is that from that same one that

871
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:41.599
was making that whistle sound? I know, but that whistle

872
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:44.679
and those some of those bird whistles I've heard are

873
00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:53.440
just unbelievable how beautiful they are. Jeremiah, do you have

874
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:56.880
any questions. I've got a bunch more things that I

875
00:55:58.039 --> 00:55:59.800
but I'm trying to I'm doing this out of my

876
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:04.239
head yet. Do you have anything that you want to

877
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.880
ask me that people have asked you or things that

878
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.360
you have seen?

879
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:16.559
And I am testing my microphone. Oh my goodness, I

880
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:17.760
am into some tear.

881
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:21.800
Let me go and talk about another event that happened.

882
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.039
Look, can you even hear me right now?

883
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:28.599
In my scariest moments. One of the things that startled

884
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:31.440
me the most in the beginning was I call it

885
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:35.599
my Jurassic Park moment. Before I knew that there were

886
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:41.599
going to be a nursery site, I found out that

887
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.800
whenever the male the mail again is not here all

888
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:48.559
the time. The male comes and goes. But what I

889
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:56.239
found out was that the male will mother has a baby.

890
00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:59.760
When the female has a baby here, he would be

891
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:04.519
here for one to two weeks while she's taking care

892
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.960
of the baby, feeding the baby and everything. He'll be

893
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:11.239
here for Lexi's two to three weeks. I one two,

894
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:14.599
it's two to three weeks. One time I got home

895
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:19.440
from work, I was frustrated, had a hard day at work,

896
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.920
so I decided to just go there and cool off.

897
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.000
So I was on the side of the side, sitting

898
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:27.599
at the pond at one end of the pond. At

899
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:32.000
the other end, behind the hill, they have a huge trail.

900
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:37.559
It's starting to get dark, broosted and I called it

901
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:41.039
one of my Jurassic Part moments because of the fact

902
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:45.920
that he reminds me of an event in Jurassic Park.

903
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:51.480
All of a sudden, I'm sitting there and I can

904
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:57.719
hear and feel vibrations coming from the ground, impact vibrations

905
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:03.280
off something bipedal, and it's coming from behind the hill

906
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:06.719
at the other end. Now I don't know how in

907
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.719
the world they do this. This is seventy yards away

908
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:17.000
and I'm feeling these footprints, foot these shells hid the ground,

909
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:23.000
and the vibrations from the cibeer side with the suspensions

910
00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:26.320
and the seat, I can feel it vibrating the seat

911
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:31.000
from it. It gets to where the beginning of the

912
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:33.960
trail is behind the pond, and there's two huge trees,

913
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:39.360
one on each side. It reached and somehow was touching

914
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:43.119
both trees at the same time and was swaying them

915
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:46.880
back and forth. Both forty to fifty foot talk were

916
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:51.159
swaying back and forth. I'm like, man, the reach and

917
00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:54.079
the street that takes to do that. I mean, you'd

918
00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:58.159
have to have two machines to do that, not one thing.

919
00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:02.320
Then it started going a little bit further, but it

920
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:05.119
was behind the hill and I couldn't see it. And

921
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:07.280
then all of a sudden, the doves start flying out

922
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:11.719
the trees in front of and I didn't get scared.

923
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.119
I didn't feel like I was. I just got the

924
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:18.280
feeling that I needed to leave, that it wan't to leave.

925
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:22.119
And finally, after he got to the end and started

926
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:25.239
walking up the other side, I'm like, you know, nobody

927
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:29.840
knows that I'm here, nobody knows where I'm at. It's

928
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:33.119
getting dark. I probably should go ahead and leave. And

929
00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:36.679
I did. But that's not the only time I felt

930
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:41.400
those vibrations like that. One time I went on an

931
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:48.440
expedition they I was in the tent and one night,

932
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:49.960
and this is a little bit of funny thing that

933
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.280
happened on it. We were in the tent, my wife

934
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.679
and I and I was sleeping on one side, she

935
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:59.920
was sleeping on the other, and we had behind the tent,

936
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:02.880
we had a portold out there where we could go.

937
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:09.519
And all of a sudden, I hear something walking outside

938
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.239
of our tent on her side. So I'm trying to

939
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.519
warn her that something's over there. I love to see her,

940
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:18.079
and it looks like she's bundled up in the sheets

941
01:00:18.840 --> 01:00:23.880
in the comforter and stuff. And I said, babe, babe,

942
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:26.920
because I can see the shadow going against the tent.

943
01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:32.239
It's right there by the tent, babe, babe, and she

944
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:36.320
goes yeah. Then I realized it's her outside the tent

945
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:41.039
going to use the bathroom, and I said, oh, that's crazy,

946
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:44.800
that's crazy. I just got tricked. I just got tricked.

947
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:48.840
But the very next night that we were there, I

948
01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:54.039
didn't get trigged that time because two o'clock two point

949
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:58.880
fifteen in the morning, I founding again like i'd heard

950
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:02.719
and felt in our place, coming up from a creek,

951
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:06.760
and it was going right by where I decided that

952
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:10.400
I lay on now. I had a glass of water

953
01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:13.960
and it had been it was half now, and I

954
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:17.920
drank half of it, and it's sitting on I'm looking

955
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:21.199
at in as this thing is walking next to the tent.

956
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:27.880
Boom boom, boom, And every time you would hit, you

957
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:30.519
would see the water shake on the top of it,

958
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:34.800
like in the one Jurassic part that they had where.

959
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:39.159
The water was shaken to the impact things. It was

960
01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:41.960
the exact same. I don't know what I would have

961
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:44.199
done if it decided to stop right by the tent,

962
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:46.719
but it kept going by, but it was making sure

963
01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:54.400
that I knew and I have no idea. They're making

964
01:01:55.360 --> 01:01:59.039
those impact things so that you can fill it and

965
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.880
hear it. I just don't. I don't have an idea

966
01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:10.639
of how they do that at all. And one other thing,

967
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:14.719
I'd go back to their size of their hands. The

968
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:17.440
size of their hands are crazy. I've seen one handprint

969
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:21.840
down by the Gipson station that was half inches long

970
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:27.639
and it was one and a half to two times

971
01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:30.960
as wide off each of my fingers. I mean, they

972
01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:37.199
were huge. But there was another time that we had

973
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:41.039
to reroof our house a storm and comebine blown off

974
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:49.159
like two hundred tiles all off of our roof. They

975
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.519
the tile and dropped it off early one morning, about

976
01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.599
six o'clock, and they had boxes on top that had

977
01:02:55.639 --> 01:03:00.280
like the roof and vents and stuff like that in

978
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:04.639
boxes on the top of it. Was a supervisor of

979
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.320
that group came by and looked at it, and he

980
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:11.400
was actually here when they dropped it off, and then

981
01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:14.119
he came back later that afternoon to check on it.

982
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:19.880
And he called me and said, Hey, has anybody been here?

983
01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:22.400
And I said, I loved on the camera and we

984
01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:24.000
had a camera on the road and I said, no,

985
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:27.159
nobody else been here, said tell Mark dropped the tiles off.

986
01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:31.239
He said, that's weird because there is a stick stunk

987
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:37.119
into the roof and the boxes on top. How they

988
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:43.280
handprint that Andre the Giant couldn't make there's a dirty

989
01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:47.880
handprint was pushing it, and there's a dirty hand print

990
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:50.519
on the box. He said, I've never seen a handprint

991
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:56.480
that big. I said, okay, I knew what. When they

992
01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:00.400
see something strange, they always check it out here, they

993
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:04.400
always go and investigate it and check it out. Later,

994
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:08.960
that supervisor calls me. He had evidently gone over to

995
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:12.679
the other side of the creek, in the area that

996
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:15.480
I don't go into that I considered their area. He

997
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:20.639
went over there, he said, he He said that he

998
01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:23.280
was going over there to use the bathroom while the

999
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:25.920
guys were doing the roof. I don't I don't know.

1000
01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:29.440
I think he was. I think he had figured out

1001
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:32.800
he'd seen some footprints in the yard and figured out

1002
01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:34.360
that maybe they were a big foot here and was

1003
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:38.519
going over there and check it out. Call me. He said, Hey,

1004
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:41.760
do you have any kids that play in the woods?

1005
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:47.119
And I'm like, no, where He said, if you go

1006
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:49.559
down your trail, go across the creek over there to

1007
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:51.519
the right. I said, no, that's an area I don't

1008
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:54.119
go into So, no, we don't have any kids to

1009
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:58.000
play in that area, I said. He said, there's an

1010
01:04:58.039 --> 01:05:05.440
area in there that probably he said, just huge area

1011
01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:11.440
and there's no sticks on the ground. Everything's flattened lego

1012
01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:13.440
blocks down there. And when he's talking about the lego

1013
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:15.519
blocks and he's talking about the building blocks when I

1014
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:18.760
was young, that has like the the sticks to make

1015
01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:21.920
little houses and stuff with that are white and they're

1016
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:27.199
different colors. And he said that there were girls yellow

1017
01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:29.880
soft balls down there. There were a couple of basketballs

1018
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:33.239
down there, and a couple of munckets down there. He says,

1019
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:37.639
like they've been kids have been playing down there, and

1020
01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:41.159
I said, no, our kids don't go down there. He

1021
01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:43.960
said that was just weird because something had been in

1022
01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:47.559
there playing. And that also was around the nursery time,

1023
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.679
so in my mind I knew what it was. The

1024
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:55.239
little ones were down there and everything was flyged off

1025
01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:58.599
and they were playing down there. Picture how when I

1026
01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:02.199
was young, we would lay They had us sit on

1027
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:05.440
the rend our legs and roll the ball to the

1028
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:08.679
other and I could see them holding the buckets down

1029
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:12.599
the road with u softball on the ground and then

1030
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:15.079
catching it in the bucket. That's what I can pitch.

1031
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:21.079
It was subscribing. I do know it's time because we

1032
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:23.519
were here several years before they let us know. They

1033
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:27.559
were here for several years at the basketball goal where

1034
01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:32.760
the basketball was, the basketballs would disappear, they would be

1035
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:35.840
gold and forever. I was blaming the kids for.

1036
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:43.639
I don't know, dude. I'm pretty sure we got We

1037
01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:48.559
got the interview though, but I don't know. It was

1038
01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:50.679
like you start talking about the nursery and then everything

1039
01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:53.280
just went crazy on that. It was nuts. It was

1040
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:57.000
really weird. I'm sure there's just a coincidence, but it

1041
01:06:57.119 --> 01:07:01.599
was just this very strange dude. I think we definitely

1042
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:08.320
got a lot of good information for an interview, but

1043
01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:11.000
I mean when you were asking me, when I was there,

1044
01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:13.480
like ten to fifteen minutes ago, I was trying to

1045
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:15.119
talk to you, and it wouldn't it wouldn't let me

1046
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:16.639
talk to you. It was the weirdest thing.

1047
01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:19.000
I know. I couldn't hear a thing.

1048
01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:22.239
I do have a question to ask you. I'm just

1049
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:24.360
going to ask you a few minutes ago, but do

1050
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:30.039
you have any plan in place to try to make

1051
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.800
things safer for the big focus? You said there were

1052
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:38.079
people that are trying to shoot into your property.

1053
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:44.400
I've kind of communicated to them where they need to be,

1054
01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:49.880
but they're starting to shoot at night with night business

1055
01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:54.239
scopes and stuff owned our property, and so like this,

1056
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:57.360
this whole thing is like, you know, like I said,

1057
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:01.400
there's four different bottles that come into this one spot,

1058
01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:05.719
so they travel through here all the time, and I

1059
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:08.159
don't know how to stop that. I thought, well, maybe

1060
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:10.199
I need to call the cops, you know, because I

1061
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:13.679
can tell they're shooting down onto the property. All you're

1062
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:15.800
going to do is chap them off anymore. And you

1063
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:19.159
can't prove anything. I can hear because I hunted all

1064
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:21.079
the time. I know they're shooting from the ridge down

1065
01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:23.479
on to our property because they clear cut everything else.

1066
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:27.600
But how do I prove to a cop that they're

1067
01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.039
shooting down there? Then what do I do? Say, Yeah,

1068
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:33.680
they're shooting a big foot. You know, that's not going

1069
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:41.000
to work. So I don't really know how to When

1070
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:44.960
the leaves start coming back home, then they'll be more protected.

1071
01:08:45.039 --> 01:08:48.239
That's the reason why before when they had that property,

1072
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:51.800
they would stay in that property in the daytime because

1073
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.800
they have more pines in that property. They would stay

1074
01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:57.039
there in the daytime, but they would come back here

1075
01:08:57.079 --> 01:09:00.960
at night. So I don't know what I can do

1076
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:06.199
to protect them. You know, they don't want anybody around

1077
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:09.039
the area. I can't go and put security guard around

1078
01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:14.239
the place, so I don't know. I don't all of it.

1079
01:09:14.279 --> 01:09:16.079
I'm thought about. All I can do is try to

1080
01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:18.159
communicate with them and let them know where they are.

1081
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:19.840
And then all of a sudden, I find this hide

1082
01:09:19.840 --> 01:09:22.920
in the field right next to our place, where no

1083
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:26.560
management shooting. Looking at the gifted station, I'm like wow.

1084
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:29.119
And then I look at a picture of that field

1085
01:09:29.159 --> 01:09:31.399
into what and there two months earlier, So I'm like, well,

1086
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:34.399
at least they're not an area they're getting shot at, you.

1087
01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:39.159
Know, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, It's so.

1088
01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:42.600
It's amazing they're trying to stay here. It's totally amazing

1089
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:45.399
that they're still trying to stay here with all that

1090
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:49.560
they're going through, right with the habitat destruction, people shooting

1091
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:57.159
at them. I'm I'm truly blessed that they're still trying

1092
01:09:57.159 --> 01:09:57.760
to stay here.

1093
01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:04.159
Absolutely, it is. It's a fascinating, you know story to

1094
01:10:04.239 --> 01:10:08.720
see how things are unfolding, you know, as you go

1095
01:10:08.800 --> 01:10:10.720
back to the beginning, and now you go back to

1096
01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:14.359
how things are now, and I'm sure you know people

1097
01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:18.239
will be able to follow along as you are releasing

1098
01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:21.960
you know, different books in the series of five, you'll

1099
01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:25.000
probably be sharing more information. I know the one you

1100
01:10:25.039 --> 01:10:28.399
sent me there's even pictures in it from around the property,

1101
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:32.039
which which is really cool. I do want.

1102
01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:37.479
To try to take pictures of it as a proof source. Now,

1103
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:40.920
pictures are don't look as good as what your eyes see.

1104
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:44.119
You know, your eyes three and three dimensions. The pictures

1105
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:48.000
are one dimensional, so they don't you're not seeing as

1106
01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:50.600
clearly as I can see it. Because like the one

1107
01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:54.640
with the chair and the pond, if you would have

1108
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:56.600
seen if I would have backed up a little bit

1109
01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:59.319
and hindslass twenty twenty, so you can see the other

1110
01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:02.119
chair just like you're just sitting there, not moved. And

1111
01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:04.840
then you see that one in the water sitting straight

1112
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:09.840
up and down. You're like, how did live in there?

1113
01:11:09.960 --> 01:11:11.960
And end up straight up and down on a two

1114
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:14.560
foot two to three foot vertical drop and it ends

1115
01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:16.960
up being straight up and down And the other one

1116
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:19.079
didn't even move, and that's right beside.

1117
01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:23.239
It, right, you know, Yeah, it's wild, so wild stuff

1118
01:11:23.319 --> 01:11:26.079
I do want to also mention that you have bigfoot

1119
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:30.000
talk dot Com the website, and uh yes, listeners can

1120
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:33.000
get a lot of really good information on on that.

1121
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:35.119
But if you want something where you can actually hold

1122
01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:37.319
it in your hands and you know, take it on

1123
01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:40.159
a trip or something, You've got the books as well,

1124
01:11:40.199 --> 01:11:43.239
which is is great. But but Neil, thank you so

1125
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:48.279
much for coming on on the show. You you did. Ah,

1126
01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:52.600
you were at a conference right, you had done a

1127
01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:54.399
a presentation of a conference.

1128
01:11:54.279 --> 01:11:58.279
Conference last March, and we were going to try to

1129
01:11:58.319 --> 01:12:01.239
do it every year, but then I had some health

1130
01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:03.840
issues come up last year. Thank goodness, I'm over it now.

1131
01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:06.680
Plus I was trying to take care of my mom

1132
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:11.439
at the same time. So that's when I think the

1133
01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:16.199
second one or I want to Anyway, I wasn't able

1134
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:18.600
to get out as much as I have been in

1135
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:23.159
the past because my mom had stayed in the hospital

1136
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.640
and I was there with her, and I called a

1137
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:30.479
bacteria and ended up turning septic, and then it got

1138
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:32.840
into my toe and got into the ball and so

1139
01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:36.840
I had to get that toe amputated to stop it

1140
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:39.479
from getting the rest of my body. So I went

1141
01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:44.720
through that last year and then another one got infaded

1142
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:47.199
from it, but that one we were able to save.

1143
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:49.640
So I've had a little rough year last year or

1144
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:55.079
so the conference I put it on hold. I'm trying

1145
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:58.159
to maybe do it at another location the next time

1146
01:12:58.199 --> 01:13:00.800
we do it, But I don't want to abandon it.

1147
01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:04.039
I just wanted to with all that I had going on,

1148
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:06.239
I've had to try to take care of my health

1149
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:07.960
first to make sure that gets back.

1150
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:10.399
Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, you made the right choice.

1151
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:13.479
You got to make sure that there's only one Neil

1152
01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:15.359
out there. You know, you got to take care take

1153
01:13:15.359 --> 01:13:18.119
care of Neil for sure. But you know, I'm just

1154
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:20.319
I'm glad you were able to come on the show

1155
01:13:20.359 --> 01:13:25.439
today and share such an interesting update. Uh be interesting

1156
01:13:25.439 --> 01:13:29.560
to see where things go from here. But is there

1157
01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:33.079
anything else, any other things that you would like listeners

1158
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:35.800
to know about, how you know they can keep up

1159
01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:38.239
to date with with what you've got going on with

1160
01:13:38.319 --> 01:13:39.079
Bigfoot Talk.

1161
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:43.560
Well, I try to put a lot of the things

1162
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:47.640
that I see into the bigfoot tall dot com Facebook page.

1163
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:51.720
The bigfoot tall dot com on the Internet tells you

1164
01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:55.399
a lot about the patterns and stuff that you can

1165
01:13:55.479 --> 01:13:59.000
see and what people think has caused it, And of

1166
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:03.119
course the first book that says Understanding Bigfoot, I've got

1167
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:08.000
a detail on what you can expect camping, fishing, hunting, hiking,

1168
01:14:09.359 --> 01:14:11.760
what you can expect to happen from them. And then

1169
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:15.119
at the end it goes over all the patterns that

1170
01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:18.640
are different than what other animals do. Now, it may

1171
01:14:18.680 --> 01:14:21.279
be why they may do it, what's the best way

1172
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:25.800
to handle it? That's why I did that book. And

1173
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:29.920
now I'm starting this five book series that is covering

1174
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:34.840
things that have happened here while we've been here with

1175
01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:37.439
pictures if I have pictures of it at the time,

1176
01:14:37.560 --> 01:14:41.119
so that I can share with everybody what we have

1177
01:14:41.319 --> 01:14:44.079
seen and what we've learned about them, because I think

1178
01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:48.279
it's important for people to share what they learn. I

1179
01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.720
think it's a shame for people to try to hide

1180
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:54.520
everything that they're seeing and not telling other people about it,

1181
01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:56.560
because the only way we're going to figure this out

1182
01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:59.600
is by sharing the information.

1183
01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:03.079
All right, I agree, one hundred percent. Yeah, The only

1184
01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:06.119
only way we'll be able to figure out what's going

1185
01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:09.359
on in this field is everyone starts to share information.

1186
01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:13.439
And I know that's there's a few ways to look

1187
01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.159
at that, but that's how I feel on it. But

1188
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:18.159
Neil Ryder, thank you so much for coming on the show.

1189
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.640
We will definitely be keeping in touch with you in

1190
01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:26.640
the future. And good luck with you and this Sasquatch

1191
01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:28.960
family that's on your property.

1192
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:32.279
Thank you so much, and I hope you have a

1193
01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:32.840
great night.

1194
01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:37.520
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1195
01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:40.800
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

1196
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:43.680
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1197
01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:48.239
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

1198
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:51.840
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

1199
01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:56.840
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

1200
01:15:56.920 --> 01:16:00.079
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

1201
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:04.680
even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll

1202
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:07.399
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

1203
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:12.920
probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't

1204
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:19.159
heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

1205
01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:21.279
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

1206
01:16:21.439 --> 01:16:24.119
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

1207
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:29.319
check this out. You may know Jason Kenzie from his

1208
01:16:29.399 --> 01:16:34.279
documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can

1209
01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:37.479
not only go to the festival, but you can also

1210
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:45.039
sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

1211
01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:49.840
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot Spots

1212
01:16:50.199 --> 01:16:53.760
to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign

1213
01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:57.439
up for this, and yes, this will also be filmed

1214
01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:01.279
for the next chapter in his documentaries, which is Searching

1215
01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:03.840
for Sasquatch. This is a once in a lifetime deal.

1216
01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:07.079
It's just trust it's going to be a wild, wild experience.

1217
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:12.159

1223
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:39.159
help with the costs there. Appreciate that, Priscilla. I hope

1224
01:17:39.199 --> 01:17:42.439
to see you at the booth in Oakridge this year.

1225
01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:45.840
We can talk about your encounter. Was able to talk

1226
01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:48.560
to so many people last year and the year before.

1227
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:52.319
It is an incredible time. You're not going to want

1228
01:17:52.319 --> 01:17:56.600
to miss it, and I'll see you there. Before we

1229
01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:59.119
wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to

1230
01:17:59.199 --> 01:18:02.560
a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military,

1231
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:06.319
any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that

1232
01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:09.199
no one can explain, or if you're a National park

1233
01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:12.520
ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet,

1234
01:18:13.239 --> 01:18:16.399
or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down

1235
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:19.000
on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a

1236
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:22.920
federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something

1237
01:18:23.000 --> 01:18:26.640
you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic,

1238
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:30.000
or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found

1239
01:18:30.079 --> 01:18:33.079
tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging

1240
01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:36.960
industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker with

1241
01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:40.880
government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never

1242
01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:44.840
told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

1243
01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:48.399
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

1244
01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:52.159
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

1245
01:18:52.319 --> 01:18:55.439
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

1246
01:18:55.520 --> 01:19:00.079
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA,

1247
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:03.680
or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1248
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:08.520
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1249
01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:13.800
You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

1250
01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:16.680
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

1251
01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:22.479
carry alone. And you're not alone. You've got the story,

1252
01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:26.880
We've got the mic see you in the woods. Thank

1253
01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:29.760
you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast.

1254
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:32.239
Every encounter we share reminds us that the world is

1255
01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:35.439
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

1256
01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:38.319
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
