All right, Big for Society. You've got the privilege of

14
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.759
talking to Jeremy today. Jeremy is an individual who's a

15
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.399
friend of another individual that was on the podcast a

16
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.600
few episodes ago from up in Minnesota name is Holly,

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.119
and Jeremy figured he would reach out and share some

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.119
interesting things that he is also had happened up there

19
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.280
in Minnesota. So welcome to the show. Jeremy. How's it

20
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:04.760
going today?

21
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.120
Hey, there, I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on.

22
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.920
Absolutely been waiting to talk to you for a while

23
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.159
ever since I got your sign up. It sounds like

24
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.239
it's going to be very interesting. But before we get

25
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.359
into it, Jeremy, are there any things about yourself that

26
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.840
the listeners might need to know for context.

27
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.400
That really I would set me apart from anyone else

28
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.439
in terms of relating to Bigfoot. But I guess I'm

29
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.879
a music producer. I enjoy nature and the outdoors. I'd

30
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.359
like to consider myself an amateur naturalist, so I'd like

31
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.439
to learn how to identify plants and mushrooms and that

32
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.480
sort of thing, and just learn about survival in the

33
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:56.799
wild is interesting to me. I'm into spirituality and a

34
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:01.599
number of different realms, So I guess that's all I

35
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.519
can think of that might be relevant.

36
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.120
Very interesting. Jeremy, feel free to take us back to

37
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.560
as far as we need to go when you first

38
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.960
had your bigfoot interactions? Start off, and I'll let you

39
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.639
take it from here.

40
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:24.479
All right, Okay, first experience I had was when I

41
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.080
was a kid. I'm honestly not really sure how old

42
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.360
I was, guessing this happened in the late nineties. My

43
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.479
best guess, after thinking about this for a few years

44
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.120
is probably nineteen ninety eight, I would have been less

45
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.680
than ten years old. So I grew up in Shoreview, Minnesota.

46
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.719
Shore Views on the northern edge of the metro area

47
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.479
of the Twin Cities. So just to the south of

48
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.919
me is suburban shopping malls and things like that, and

49
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.479
just to the north of me is like farmland and

50
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.400
it's more rural and more a forest and things like that.

51
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.479
But I grew up right next to this nature preserve

52
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.240
called Rice Creek Nature Preserve. I just wanted to set

53
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.639
the setting for this story, but some of my neighborhood

54
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.800
backs right up to this nature preserve. One day, I

55
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.439
was at the neighbor's house down the street, and I

56
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.120
was inside with my brother, and the two neighbors and

57
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.039
their parents were there, and we were playing running around

58
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.080
the house, playing nerve wars. I think it was some

59
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.080
kind of game. We were screaming, making lots of noise,

60
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.120
having fun, and I just have this memory from that

61
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.800
day going down to the basement. I ended up there

62
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.960
alone for a short period of time, and I remember

63
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.800
looking out the sliding glass door into the backyard and

64
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.599
seeing this. At the time, I guess I probably would

65
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.719
have only described it as a monster or a creature.

66
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:05.120
But I saw this I looked humanoid. It was bipedal.

67
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.280
It was so it was standing on two feet and

68
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.800
it looked tall. It was covered in long blonde hair

69
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.919
from head to toe. I'd say the hair is maybe

70
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.480
like five to six inches long on the arms and legs,

71
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.120
a little bit longer on the head, it seemed like.

72
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.480
And the hair was like covering the face where I

73
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.120
couldn't see its face. It was in motion the whole

74
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.600
time I saw it. And so I just saw this

75
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.519
thing on the right side of the yard, and it

76
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.800
was so strange, Like my memory is weird. It's funny

77
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.920
because my memory of this thing is blurry, and people

78
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.560
always make fun of Bigfoot being blurry. At the time,

79
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.040
I didn't think that this thing was Bigfoot, but it

80
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.720
just I saw it solid on the right side of

81
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.680
the yard, and then it looked like a blur between

82
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.279
its position there, and then again I saw it solid

83
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.399
in the center of the yard, and I just have

84
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.480
this image burned into my mind of it there. While

85
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:09.959
it was in the center of the yard, it was

86
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.480
probably like thirty feet away from me, with a pane

87
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.759
of glass between us, but it was in that classic

88
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.199
bigfoot pose with the legs crossed over and the torso

89
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:28.279
twisted to the opposite way the legs are crossed or stepping,

90
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.720
and then its arms were swayed out. It had disproportionately

91
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.759
long arms, like it looked lanky, like it didn't have

92
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.639
the same proportion as human. The head sat on top

93
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.360
of its shoulders, and yeah, it was as if it

94
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.759
looked at me, but I couldn't see its face. It

95
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.439
just felt like it looked at me. And then it

96
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.399
either disappeared, or it turned and quickly moved straight towards

97
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:03.240
the tree line and disappeared, or I just got scared,

98
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.079
which is what happened. I got scared, and I ran

99
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.000
away from the window and I hid in the corner

100
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.439
of the basement. So I don't know if it actually

101
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.680
disappeared in front of my eyes, or if I just

102
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.519
didn't stick around to see what it did. So that

103
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.600
was the extent of the site. It probably lasted three seconds.

104
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.720
Maybe the thing moved so quickly, like a blur. And

105
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:37.000
then I got scared and hid in the corner and screamed.

106
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.639
The parents came downstairs, and we're asking what was wrong,

107
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.399
and I told them I saw a monster in the backyard.

108
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.600
Of course, the parents go look in the backyard, they

109
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.399
don't see anything. And I'm not sure what they said,

110
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.439
but I could have imagined. I probably just said, like

111
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.240
you imagined it, or I don't see anything, must have

112
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.600
been a deer or whatever. And yeah, as far as

113
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.519
I knew, I had seen Boogeyman. But it's just so

114
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.759
strange because I didn't tell my parents, at least that

115
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.120
I know of or remember. And I asked my parents

116
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.959
about this since and they don't remember me saying anything

117
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:29.160
about seeing a monster. And I think that's about it

118
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.800
to say about that story, other than I forgot about it.

119
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.560
And I've heard about this a lot, where a memory

120
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.959
is traumatizing for a kid to see something like that,

121
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.639
and so your memory compartmentalize, is it? And I really

122
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.720
do feel like that's what happened to me, because I

123
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:57.720
remember remembering this encounter several times throughout my life until

124
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.519
I was maybe fifteen. I would the memory would pop

125
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.720
up and I'd be like, Oh, there's that weird memory

126
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.639
again of this thing. What was that? I don't know,

127
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.040
and I would just brush it off and forget about

128
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.399
it again. And I didn't think about it or remember

129
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:21.560
again until I think twenty twenty one, when some friends

130
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.879
of mine had been living out in Washington and they

131
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.079
said that they were out in a remote location hiking

132
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.879
and they heard these sounds that were definitely, in their words, sasquatch.

133
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.039
So and before that I was a skeptic, but I

134
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.720
got interested because I trusted these friends of mine, and

135
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.000
I went and I started listening to all the podcasts.

136
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.559
I could find what people call on and tell their

137
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.279
stories like I'm doing now, and I would watch documentaries

138
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:57.240
and watch videos as supposed Bigfoot sightings. And after a while,

139
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.720
the repetition of the detail tales of the sighting became

140
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.519
so intense that it triggered a full memory recall. I

141
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.000
had that memory come back up into the front of

142
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.960
my mind again and I saw it like i'd experienced

143
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.600
it yesterday. Now couple of years since then, the memories

144
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.919
faded and it's not as clear, but I had that

145
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:28.200
aha moment where I thought I finally understood what that

146
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.840
memory was. That I was like, did I see a Bigfoot?

147
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.799
There's no way Bigfoot in Minnesota. Like at the time,

148
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.000
I had only thought that Bigfoot was more of a

149
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.840
Pacific Northwest thing, So I said, Bigfoot in Minnesota. No,

150
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:49.519
also in the suburbs in a backyard. No. And then

151
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.559
the last detail that was thrown me off was the

152
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.080
fact that it was blonde, and I never heard of

153
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.320
a blonde big Bigfoot before. I still was in dis police,

154
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:02.120
and I went and I searched on Google Bigfoot in Minnesota,

155
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.120
and the first thing that pops up is an episode

156
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:12.159
from America Onearthed called Tracking Bigfoot in Minnesota, and they

157
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.679
interviewed two or three eyewitnesses who all had their sightings

158
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:23.240
in or around the Rice Creek Nature Preserve, which is

159
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.919
like a couple of blocks from my house. So basically,

160
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.600
in this episode, I learned that this nature preserve that

161
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.080
I've been visiting since I was a little kid, that's

162
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.519
like a couple of blocks away, is a Bigfoot hotspot.

163
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.440
And that blew my mind. And I was almost convinced

164
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:47.399
at that point, and the blonde detail was still throwing

165
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.600
me off, and I did some more research. I went

166
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.519
to the THEFRO the Bigfoot Research or organization, I think

167
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:02.919
the website, and went to Minnesota, found the closest counties

168
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.840
to where, well, my county where I had the sighting.

169
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.000
It doesn't say that there's any sightings, But the closest county,

170
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.519
which is just on the other side of the creek,

171
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.519
had like six or seven reported sightings, I think. And

172
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.919
one of those sightings, which is actually the closest one

173
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.320
to my neighborhood where I had mine, was in nineteen

174
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.159
eighty eight, perhaps ten years prior to ten year old

175
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.440
girls were in the woods playing and they saw what

176
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.720
they described at the time as a blonde gorilla. And

177
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.480
Vfro has since followed up with those eyewitnesses and now

178
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.519
they describe it what they saw as a blonde bigfoot.

179
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.120
They didn't know what bigfoot was back then, so they

180
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.440
didn't know what to call it. They called it a gorilla.

181
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.000
And at that point I was a believer, not just

182
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.639
a believer, a knower. Since then, my life has been

183
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.919
pretty interesting. I've become a little obsessed with the topic. Also,

184
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:11.399
another memory surfaced that something happened back in twenty fifteen

185
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.600
that I didn't understand that after having this memory recollection

186
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.600
and learning everything that I have about Sasquatch according to

187
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:32.720
eyewitness reports and researchers, that in twenty fifteen, we went

188
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.799
my partner and I went camping one weekend up on

189
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.799
Lake Superior, on the beach on the Wisconsin side, and

190
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:47.159
we laid out a blanket, made a fire and camped

191
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.759
out underneath the stars, and we stayed up late just

192
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:55.519
looking at the stars, and probably around three in the morning,

193
00:12:55.559 --> 00:13:01.080
I think we saw a whole bunch of UFO UAPs.

194
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.879
I'm not really sure what to call them. The orbs

195
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
I think would be the most accurate description of what

196
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.519
we saw. It's basically, it looks like the ball of light,

197
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.960
maybe like a satellite or something. It appears like it's

198
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.720
very high up in the sky, but it's usually brighter

199
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.080
and then sometimes tinted orange. And these things were moving

200
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.159
all over the place and crazy movements back and forth

201
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.799
and appearing, disappearing, flashing and stuff like that, not just

202
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.000
moving straight across the sky at a steady pace like

203
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:42.399
a satellite. During this varrage of UFO activity, all of

204
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:46.919
a sudden, a face appears in the sky. It was

205
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.919
as if this face just superimposed itself over the sky

206
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.960
where it was opaque. I could see through it, but

207
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.120
it was there. And this face looked like a like

208
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.879
those Polynesian masks, or like the Salish Totem poles. Sometimes

209
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.600
they have a face of I'm not sure what they

210
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.159
call them peer, but the Sasquatch or it also looked

211
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.399
like on Theanderthal. It's facial features were more native. I

212
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.399
had the energy of like a chief or some kind

213
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.679
of tribal leader, some type of humanoid or human being

214
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:29.399
that was closely connected with nature. And it had a

215
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.639
large mouth like the I remember the lips being like

216
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:38.519
the mouth being wider. And this face disappears, looks down

217
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:44.679
at me, and it goes and then just as quickly

218
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:51.360
as it had appeared, it disappeared like smoke. And when

219
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:56.120
it made this sound, it was a really deep, a

220
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.639
big sound where I felt it in my body. And

221
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.720
my partner didn't experience this or see it, and I

222
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.000
told her about it, and I didn't understand it. But

223
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.679
I went and I drew this face that i'd seen.

224
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.440
I might still have the picture that I drew somewhere,

225
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.320
but I just thought it was funny.

226
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.519
Big for a society who will be right back after

227
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.320
these messages.

228
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:36.039
I drew it in red ink, this tribal looking face,

229
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.919
and like years later now I've watched I don't know

230
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:44.120
if you're familiar with probably thinker Punker his YouTube channel.

231
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.879
He's got the little intro video with a little bigfoot

232
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.080
face that's red and it goes back. It's actually very

233
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.480
similar to what I saw. If you can imagine that

234
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.639
face disappearing in the sky and going and yeah, I

235
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.919
didn't know what the heck that was. There's another experience

236
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.759
I just brushed off. And after learning about Sasquatch mine

237
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.120
speak and remembering that I had this encounter, I wondered

238
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:16.440
if that I actually experienced Sasquatch mine speak. I went,

239
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.600
I looked, I did a quick Google search of Ugauga,

240
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.919
and I found out that it is Caveman for hello.

241
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:30.799
So I wonder if maybe for some reason, of a

242
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.600
Sasquatch that'd be was being silly and said hello to

243
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:43.559
me using mine speak. So that was the other memory

244
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:51.399
I recovered. Since then, I have had two brief experiences

245
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:57.559
and also some other maybe found weird bent tree structures

246
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.399
and the footprints in the woods, but I'm the skeptic

247
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.240
about that type of thing. I just became curious, and

248
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.160
so now when I'm out forging for mushrooms or whatever,

249
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:12.400
I'm looking for other details as well. But so the

250
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:19.960
other two experiences I wanted to talk about where last year.

251
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:32.599
It's the second now twenty twenty three. In September, So

252
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:39.440
throughout the summer I was going down to and I

253
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.079
have a fort that I started building by the creek,

254
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.640
and I would go down and work on this fort

255
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.640
maybe two three days a week throughout the summer, and

256
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.960
one night in September. I don't usually go there at night,

257
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.839
so I thought that was interesting. I showed up just

258
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.640
after sunset and I was going to walk out to

259
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.039
my fort, and there's this little deer trail that goes

260
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:09.279
from the parking lot out to the creek. And really

261
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.279
no one goes on the trail. It's not really it's

262
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.240
not a march trail. It's hard to see too. I

263
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.359
never see anyone going back there except for in the winter.

264
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:24.759
But about forty feet down this trail, I come upon

265
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.440
in the middle of the trail, sitting perpendicular to it.

266
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.119
It was the body of a goose, a full grown goose,

267
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:39.319
just sitting there. But there was no head or neck

268
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.319
attached to the body. There's just a hole where the

269
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:46.720
head and neck were, and there was no blood, no blood,

270
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:50.640
no ruffled feathers like it looks like it just walked

271
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.880
down the trail turned that down and its head popped off.

272
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.839
I thought that was really bizarre. And then I found

273
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.720
the head and neck together in the grass off to

274
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.359
the side. And then I found part of one of

275
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:14.799
the wings, also in the trail, at a t intersection

276
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.119
where if you go left it goes to my fort

277
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:22.200
if you go right, it just trails off into the brush.

278
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:29.880
The so also the piece of wing was had no

279
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.799
ruffled feathers and there was no blood. Same thing with

280
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:35.720
the head and the neck. They all looked in perfect condition.

281
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.279
And that was so bizarre to me. It actually freaked

282
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.599
me out a little bit. I didn't even I was

283
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.599
so freaked out. I didn't even take pictures. There's also

284
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.160
like a lady sitting at the bench over by the

285
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.279
parking lot. I didn't want to be this weird guy

286
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.880
like taking pictures of a dead goose. I don't know

287
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.240
what was going through my mind, and I beat myself

288
00:19:55.319 --> 00:20:00.000
up for not taking pictures. But so I just didn't

289
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:04.240
understand what could have done that or why, like a human,

290
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.720
why would they have done that. I couldn't imagine how

291
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.960
they would have done that. Cowties. There are coyotes back there,

292
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.400
but again they probably wouldn't have left it so nice.

293
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.079
The only thing that really made sense to me was

294
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:24.519
potentially Sasquatch, because I've heard of them gifting, gifting beheaded

295
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.200
creatures and weird sorts of gifts like that before. And

296
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:34.000
also the placement of the body parts along the trail

297
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:39.799
resembled a Nordic ruin that I had been drawing on

298
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:44.039
sticks in my fork when I would go there. Why

299
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.359
was I drawing a run I don't know. I guess

300
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:53.319
I wanted to explore my Nordic roots and I play

301
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.680
with magic, and maybe I shouldn't have been doing that,

302
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.480
but I was, And so I was drawing this not

303
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.720
knowing much about it other than it was a protection

304
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.599
symbol of some kind. The room is called uri schwaz,

305
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:14.519
and I found out later that uri schwaz is sorry.

306
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:23.319
It means thorn, and it also means giant. So that

307
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:28.480
was significant because my fort is built in a thicket

308
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:32.240
of buckthorn trees. Like when I would be out there

309
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.559
building this fort, I'd be constantly getting stabbed by these

310
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:37.799
giant thorns and know the pain. And I was back

311
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:47.240
there like doing really minimal work to clear the invasive buckthorn. Also,

312
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.640
the fact that the room means giant was really interesting

313
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.880
to me, because these sasquatches are giants, and I don't know.

314
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.200
It was just such a weird experience that this goose

315
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:08.200
appeared in the arrangement that resembled that ruin, and it's

316
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.599
too strange to be a coincidence. I feel like it

317
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.640
has to have some meeting there. And since I've been

318
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:20.599
doing more research about Nordic lore controls and things like

319
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:25.720
that and giants, and it's just been a fascinating journey.

320
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.359
I've been talking a lot, and I'm feeling a little

321
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.880
long winded, but i want to get to the last

322
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.960
little experience that I've had here and then maybe you

323
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.440
can ask me some questions if you have any. I

324
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.039
had that experience last year at the end of twenty

325
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.000
twenty three, right before I moved out to the West coast.

326
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.480
I live in Oregon now in southern Oregon, so about

327
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:57.319
a year ago I was at a gathering. It was

328
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:04.000
a Christmas gathering in southern Oregon and music and dancing

329
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.759
and things like that. We had people over at this

330
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.799
house until maybe around four in the morning is when

331
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.599
everyone cleared out. So like when everyone was clearing out

332
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.640
at four in the morning, there was a thick fog

333
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.440
that had come into the valley and just blanket into place,

334
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.119
like you couldn't see more than ten fifteen feet in

335
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.079
front of you. As soon as everyone left, except for myself,

336
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.680
the property owner, and a couple others who were staying

337
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:36.039
on the property in vehicles, the fog had completely cleared

338
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.720
and you could now see the stars in the sky.

339
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:41.720
I was sitting out back by the fire with the

340
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.519
property owner talking and we noticed a light above the

341
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.680
ridge line and I'm looking at it and I'm like,

342
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.160
that's not a plane, and so I pointed up at it.

343
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.559
Actually I'm not even sure if I pointed at it,

344
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:01.640
but the homeowner said, what is that? And I said,

345
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:05.880
that's the UFO. To me very clearly, it was giving

346
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.440
off that sort of energy. The way that it was moving,

347
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.599
it was changing its trajectory was I don't really know

348
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.440
how to explain it, but we watched it disappear behind

349
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.440
the ridge line. Shortly after we went inside and went

350
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.640
to go settle down and go to sleep. Went to

351
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:28.119
the bedroom that's situated near nearest a creek that runs,

352
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:32.319
a major creek that runs through the property, and there's

353
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.200
a dog in the room with us, there's two cats.

354
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.039
All of a sudden, we hear a bang bang, like

355
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.720
something big was banging on the side of the house.

356
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.400
It spooked both of us, and it spooked the dog too. Normally,

357
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:50.880
when the dog is like someone's at the house, the

358
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:54.799
dog will freak out and start barking like I'm gonna

359
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.000
tell you to go away, blah blah blah, that sort

360
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.559
of energy. But she's still it barking nervously like she

361
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.880
was scared. The cats also jumped up and were looking

362
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:12.240
around inquisitively. Then we heard something bang on the house again.

363
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:18.039
We instantly left the room and got away from the wall.

364
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.480
And one more time. We heard three times banging on

365
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:28.640
the wall, and I decided to jump outside and run

366
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:33.599
around the house. I don't know that I would recommend

367
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.759
doing that, but that's what I decided to do anyways,

368
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.079
and I circled the house quickly. I ran around the

369
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.279
house three times. I didn't find anything. It didn't make

370
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.920
sense to me if something was standing there banging on

371
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.759
the wall, I should have seen it or heard it

372
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.680
running away, but there was just nothing. So I come

373
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:59.000
back inside and the homeowners like, what was it? I said,

374
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.839
I don't know. It was honestly, probably sasquatch messing with us,

375
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.359
and they scoffed at me, which I just find amusing,

376
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:12.319
and so I don't know what that was, but I

377
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:23.680
think it was interesting anyways. Yeah, So basically that's my

378
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.200
story in a nutshell.

379
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:30.240
Cheremy, you've experienced some really interesting stuff. Thank you for

380
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.920
sharing all that. I mean, I just want to say,

381
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.039
first off, I didn't not know that about the Minneapolis area,

382
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:41.039
that Rice Creek, so that is very cool. I'm going

383
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:43.160
to be looking into that. But I want to go

384
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:48.039
back to you know, that sighting that you had as

385
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:54.680
a kid, when you and it was so I mean

386
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:57.880
you said just a few seconds, right.

387
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.960
Could Yeah? I couldn't have been more than a few seconds.

388
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.160
I mean, it's hard to tell such an old memory,

389
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.279
and like the memory seems like a moment frozen in time.

390
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.960
So I could have been standing there staring at this

391
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.240
thing for who knows how long, but it was probably

392
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.160
you know, three seconds ish four seconds.

393
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:27.440
I'm guessing in such a short amount of time, were

394
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:32.119
you able to get any emotional state from what it

395
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.640
was that you saw or did it just happen so quick?

396
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.559
I can't say for sure, but I didn't get the

397
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:46.119
feeling that it was necessarily neither angry nor happy. I

398
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:50.279
didn't feel like its movement was hostile. Maybe it seemed

399
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:56.400
more curious than anything, because it did appear to look

400
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.960
at me or notice me, even though I couldn't see

401
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:04.160
its face and it's just all hair in my memory.

402
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:10.119
Is there one detail that you remember noticing about it

403
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.559
that you could say, yes, absolutely, what I saw that

404
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:19.599
day was a bigfoot because of this one thing that

405
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:21.519
I noticed, it was just so blatant.

406
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.359
It's hard for me to boil it down to just

407
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:32.599
one thing. Since this memory is so old, it feels

408
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.759
distant to me, almost like a dream, even though I

409
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:37.559
know it's not a dream, because I don't have any

410
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:42.039
memories of dreams that are like this like you can.

411
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.680
I can tell the difference between a memory and a dream.

412
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:52.440
But it was all of the details combined that really

413
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:57.079
made it definitive for me. I guess, for one, being

414
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:01.519
covered from head to toe and hair its hyped. I

415
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:06.400
would guess maybe it was around seven feet tall, give

416
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:14.640
or take a foot, and its head sat on its shoulders,

417
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:21.400
and it was lanky like it wasn't like bulky like

418
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:26.240
the typical bigfoot descriptions, or it wasn't like Patty either.

419
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.759
What I saw would have been probably taller and skinnier

420
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:36.759
than Patty. But the fact that it's it was lanky

421
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:42.039
and covered in hair and its head sat on its shoulders, well,

422
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.799
I said, lanky like disproportionate length of its arms to

423
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:54.640
its torso and legs and and just this the way

424
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.559
that it moved like it was as if it ran

425
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:01.480
across the yard. But I can't recalls. I can't see

426
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:05.559
its feet, its legs like moving in my memory. I

427
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:08.799
just see it like freeze frame here, freeze frame there,

428
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:12.680
almost as if like the frame rate of my perception

429
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:19.720
was too slow to capture its movements in a fluid manner,

430
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:23.519
is how I would describe it, or like leg in

431
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:28.680
a video game kind of thing. That detail also stands

432
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:34.079
out to me. It just seems too coincidental. That's like

433
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:40.079
a common thing that people describe with sasquash strangeness and

434
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.640
how they move and maybe like time dilation type things,

435
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.279
not that I recall experiencing time dilation.

436
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.400
Picks a society who will be right back after these messages?

437
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.440
Was there a time then when you got older that

438
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.240
you went back to the adults in that situation and say, hey,

439
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.200
do you remember anything weird about when I was a

440
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.359
kid at this place? And I just freaked out and

441
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.839
said I saw something.

442
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:28.240
Yeah. So I've asked my brother who was there. I've

443
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.759
talked to both my mom and my dad and told

444
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.000
them that I remember seeing bigfoot when I was a kid,

445
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.599
and do you guys remember me saying anything about it?

446
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.880
And they don't remember hearing anything about it. And I've

447
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:47.359
tried to reach out to the parents of the neighbors,

448
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.000
but I didn't really try very hard. And I didn't

449
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.839
I don't know. I didn't want to be weird and

450
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.200
be like, hey, you guys, I think I saw a

451
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.960
bigfoot And I just don't think that they would even

452
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:04.240
really remember. The only reason I remember, and that was difficult,

453
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.240
is because it was such an intense experience for me

454
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.359
and no one else there experienced it. Yeah. I haven't

455
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.119
got a chance to talk with the homeowners on the

456
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:23.519
property where it occurred. I do recall having a series

457
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:32.559
of nightmares around the time that I would place this experience,

458
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.599
and I talked to my mom about that, and she

459
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:39.839
remembers me having those nightmares and puts it in the

460
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:43.880
time the same timeframe. So I was having two dreams.

461
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.920
One of them that was reoccurring was these dogs that

462
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:54.240
would appear in like the what's it called the furnace room.

463
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:56.920
They would appear in the furnace room in my house,

464
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:00.000
and I would get scared and they would chase me,

465
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.319
big big kind of German shepherd like dogs. And the

466
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.839
other dream that I had that was reoccurring was I

467
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.160
was in my elementary school and I would walk down

468
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:18.119
the hallway and there's this room. It's like door that

469
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:20.960
I never went. I never actually went inside this room

470
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.799
when I was at the school, so I don't know

471
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.039
what's in there. It's but in the dream, I go

472
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:28.920
and go into this room and it's just the lights off.

473
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.640
It's just an empty room except for like some shelving

474
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.599
and in boxes a warehouse. And I go in there,

475
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.440
and then I noticed very quickly that there's something else

476
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.119
in the room with me, and I get stuck in

477
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.400
the corner of this room, and because the thing is

478
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.799
over by the door, and I'm just like hiding behind

479
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.720
some boxes, scared for my life, and all I see

480
00:33:54.799 --> 00:34:00.599
is this silhouette of this tall bipedal being with glowing

481
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.720
red eyes, and I think I had that dream two

482
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:12.280
or three times. And again, having as an adult learning

483
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.320
about sasquatch and the experience that people have and learning

484
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:21.599
about glowing red eyes and like seeing this black silhouette

485
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.719
made me wonder if that dream was related to sasquatch somehow,

486
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:31.440
and if I started having those nightmares because I had

487
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.960
that experience and my psyche was unable to process it.

488
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:45.719
That's a really interesting detail how you did have those

489
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.639
dreams after in the same area of time that you

490
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:55.400
had those that sighting. As you probably know from watching

491
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.960
viewing a lot of things like this, it's not just

492
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.320
seeing the Bigfoot or experience in the Bigfoot. It's what

493
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.320
it does to you afterwards. And that's almost more than

494
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.639
half of it from what I found. It's the dreams.

495
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.760
It's sometimes what you start to hear. Sometimes you hear voices,

496
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.559
Sometimes stuff starts to move around your house by itself.

497
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.639
Be interesting to know if there were others, if there

498
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.480
were other weird things that happened around the house at

499
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:27.920
that time, and maybe you just weren't aware of them

500
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:29.119
as a young child.

501
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:33.320
Yeah, No, I'm not really sure if my parents would remember.

502
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.880
Absolutely. You said that this was close to the Rice

503
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:44.519
Creek area, correct, Yes, Now was the actual house close

504
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.199
to the Rice Creek area or.

505
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.000
Ook the neighborhood backs right up to it. Some of

506
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.960
the houses in the neighborhood their backyards connect to the preserve.

507
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.320
Gotcha. And the preserve is made out of a group

508
00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:58.320
of different lakes.

509
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.920
Correct, Yeah, there's a change lake there. There's a little

510
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.039
gas station there that's called Quickstop, or a little strip

511
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.519
mall with a gas station called Quickstop, And it was

512
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:12.760
right behind the quick Stop and one of the backyards there.

513
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:19.639
Gotcha. It's there's a trend that I'm seeing come out.

514
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.400
It was just it's really weird. Is all these sightings

515
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.800
are starting to come out from you could be considered

516
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.519
urban sightings. There's the ones that just came out from

517
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.119
Omaha from the BFRO reports over the last twenty years.

518
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.800
There's an individual that reached out to me with some

519
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:41.719
situations that have been happening right by the Kansas City

520
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:45.559
Zoo down there, a similar situation. It's just I think

521
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.400
it's a I think people might tend to not take

522
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.599
the urban reports seriously, but I think we need to

523
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:55.800
take them seriously. Because these areas weren't urban for all time.

524
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.960
Humans made them urban. But when you were talking about

525
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:03.840
how you said that there was the blonde hair, right,

526
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.400
and then you had you had actually read the report

527
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.320
where the I believe you said there were younger children

528
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:11.679
in the same area had also a sighting of a

529
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.639
blonde gorilla. How did that affect you when you've read

530
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:19.039
that report and you realized how how is your emotional

531
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:20.960
state during the reading of that report?

532
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.880
I was, I don't know if ecstatic is the right word.

533
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:28.280
I was mind blown. I couldn't I could not believe that.

534
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:35.559
The odds I've literally never heard I still think to

535
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:38.400
this day, and maybe maybe I've heard one other report

536
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:43.280
of a blond sasquatch. It's not something I hear common.

537
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:47.199
Usually it's auburn color or pitch black. And just the

538
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.960
fact that the closest sighting to the location where I

539
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:57.719
believed that I had this sighting was a blonde that

540
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:05.000
was absolutely mind blown and bewildered, fascinated. I'm not really sure.

541
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.039
I think if I was trying to put myself in

542
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:11.960
that situation, I would feel definitely similar. I think I

543
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:14.960
would feel just it would be an extreme validation. I'd

544
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:20.639
be like, oh, I really did experience as someone else

545
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:26.800
also in the same area, Blonde Sasquatch. It's absolutely incredible

546
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.599
when stuff like that happens.

547
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.079
Yeah, still like in a bit of a state of disbelief,

548
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.599
but like at this point the evidence has stacked up

549
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:41.159
far too much for this to have just been the

550
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.880
figment of my imagination or a dream that I had

551
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:44.679
when I was a kid.

552
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.440
And maybe I'll talk to the listeners for a little bit.

553
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:52.599
It'd be interesting to hear if other people have had

554
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.400
situations happen Bigfoot related in this Rice Creek area or

555
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:01.800
in this area in Minneapol. Listeners can definitely feel free

556
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.159
to reach out. The best way is Bigfoot Society at

557
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:09.119
gmail dot com email address there. But is this a

558
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.880
type of area that would have a ranger in charge

559
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:13.880
of it or some sort of worker.

560
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:20.079
Yeah, there's a ranger. It's probably a small, smaller operation.

561
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.519
It's like a regional park. So there's a park ranger.

562
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.880
I do know. I spoke with Doug Hijack.

563
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:29.400
Doug Hijack, Yeah.

564
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:33.920
Yes, at a good amount about this, and then also

565
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:41.760
the area there, and shoot what I can say, Oh yes, yes, yes,

566
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.159
so I talked to Doug about the park there and

567
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:48.639
he said that I can't remember it was him that

568
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:52.280
went out with a ranger or if the ranger contacted

569
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.719
him or what, but they found like a pile of

570
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:01.880
it was either animal limbs, like deer limbs, or a

571
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:07.280
pile of like deer and animal carcasses that were missing

572
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:10.760
lens one of the two something strange that they had

573
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:15.039
found in the park, and the ranger had spoken with

574
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.360
or brought Doug or some other bigfoot researcher out there

575
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:20.159
to check it out.

576
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.639
Okay, so this is then, now, this is getting to

577
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:27.960
be a whole different because this is a different level

578
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.360
because and I'm sure you're probably aware, Like if listeners

579
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:33.239
don't know who Doug high Check is, like he is

580
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:37.760
amazing individual who's done Bigfoot research and the legend Legends

581
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:42.440
Meet Science documentary, and he just invents so many things

582
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.320
to do with cryptid research. And just to know that

583
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.559
this is big enough that he also has checked out

584
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.280
the area, that, dude, I want to check it out myself.

585
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.039
He claims to have had his own fighting in the

586
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:59.840
area about five or six years ago I think as well.

587
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.639
He said it was just walking down the side of

588
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.000
the road, like in the ditch, and he said other

589
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.519
people saw it as well. I was like, why didn't

590
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:10.880
you take a picture? What the heck, Doug, And he

591
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:11.400
was like, I.

592
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.239
Don't know, Oh, in the rice.

593
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.960
Yeah, in the area, just walking down the side of

594
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:19.400
the road.

595
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:21.840
That's wild.

596
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.960
But yeah, it's a beautiful park. I definitely recommend getting

597
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.000
out there. There's a bike trail that goes through it.

598
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.360
I want to take your bike and go bike through

599
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.639
and check out some of the nature there. I don't

600
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:39.280
know how successful you'd be with research in the area,

601
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:42.719
just because it's so rural, but you never know.

602
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:46.239
Yeah, exactly, And listeners might be, oh, this sounds like

603
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:49.800
it's a small park in the middle of Minneapolis, but

604
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.480
looking it up, this is like more than a five

605
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.000
thousand acre park, right, It's pretty substantial.

606
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.639
It's pretty long. I'm not really sure how far the

607
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:02.519
like trail system stretches, but it's got to be at

608
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:08.880
least like fifteen miles. I'm not really sure. Maybe that's overestimate.

609
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.320
Extremely interesting. You've given me another place to look into

610
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:18.719
that's super close to me. It's one state north, so

611
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:19.719
I'm done in Iowa.

612
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:24.599
But yeah, yeah, i'd be curious to hear other stories

613
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:26.880
from the area. I showed Doug a little map that

614
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:32.199
I had created of sightings in the Park Reserve area,

615
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:35.239
and he's like, that map is way out of date

616
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:38.159
and incomplete. He's like, it's missing a bunch of sightings.

617
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.159
So I guess he's talked to quite a few people

618
00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:44.079
in the area who've had encounters.

619
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:49.440
So it's just approximate. But how many sightings now should

620
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.760
be on that map, but like a ballpark number?

621
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:56.039
Don't quote me on this way. I think I remember

622
00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:59.960
Doug saying like hundreds, and he might have been exaggerating.

623
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:02.559
It sounds like it's definitely more than five.

624
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:08.199
It's now more than whatever is recorded on THEFRORO. Okay, God,

625
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:11.320
I haven't even reported So.

626
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.400
Wow, that is extremely interesting. You mentioned though, that you're

627
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:18.199
not in the Minnesota area anymore. You're out there in

628
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:19.239
southern Oregon.

629
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:23.199
Correct, correct? Now.

630
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:28.079
I've spent time out there and it's such an interesting

631
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.000
The state is incredible. What was it like getting used

632
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:33.960
to it? I don't know if you can get used

633
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:37.039
to the state, because just in the fact that there's

634
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:41.400
so much sasquatch saturation in the culture. What was it

635
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:43.800
like to move to a place where like now you're

636
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.519
in thick of it, of what you experienced as a

637
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:48.159
little child.

638
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:52.400
Oh gosh, it is. It's been surreal. It just feels

639
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.239
like a dream. You know. There's a bit of it

640
00:43:55.400 --> 00:44:00.239
in Minnesota, because Minnesota is a hot spot for big foot,

641
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:06.400
more northern Minnesota particularly, and we will have the big

642
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.960
foot cutouts. When you're driving down the freeway. You'll see

643
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.039
it occasionally, and then for once in a while you'll

644
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.519
see something related to it. But it's just not as

645
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.760
big a part of the culture as it seems to

646
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.480
be out here. When I first moved here, I moved

647
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:23.719
to Happy Camp, California, and I just like got a

648
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.440
kick out of that. It wasn't even like I did

649
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.039
it on purpose. It had nothing to do with Sasquatch.

650
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.119
But I ended up in Happy Camp, which happens to

651
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:38.960
be the closest town to the closest like significant town

652
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.360
to the Patterson Gimblin footage site. And in the center

653
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:47.199
of town they got this big old Sasquatch statue. And

654
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:51.199
just around here in southern Oregon, I've checked out a

655
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:55.320
couple of the little bigfoot shops, and I've talked to

656
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:56.960
some random people.

657
00:44:57.960 --> 00:44:59.920
Big for society who will be right back after that

658
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:01.199
these messages.

659
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:19.840
I'll just ask them, yeah, you've ever seen Bigfoot? And

660
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.079
some people will actually say yes and then tell you

661
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.039
their story. And actually, in the town that I live in,

662
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.320
several people have told me their stories in the area.

663
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:33.880
I'm just gonna probably omit the actual area that I live,

664
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:36.840
but quite a few people in the town have had

665
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:44.280
experiences in the area. And yeah, it's just been it's

666
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.679
been validating and so real.

667
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:50.559
It's a thing where if you're talking about southern Oregon,

668
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:54.599
it really doesn't matter where you are because there's so

669
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.440
many areas that are just really thick with activity. And

670
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:03.039
you've got there's stuff that's happened in the Rogue River

671
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:05.960
National Forest. The closer to the coast you get there

672
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.440
seems to be more activity. You've got that sighting that

673
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.239
happened in the I think maybe it's Cave Junction, but

674
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.519
then over an applegate, you've got the famous Bigfoot trap

675
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:17.719
on your I don't know if you've ever gone out

676
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:19.880
and seen that, but that's a pretty cool deal.

677
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:22.840
Yeah. Yeah, I actually I went up there this year

678
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:26.840
and checked it out. It was interesting and I just

679
00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:29.559
found it amusing that someone would take the time to

680
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.320
build that, even if just as a gimmick, like someone

681
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:39.079
did that, I think that says something about sasquatch in

682
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:39.599
this area.

683
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:44.280
Oh absolutely, And have you gone out camping at all

684
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:46.679
yet overnights things like that?

685
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.280
Not really, I didn't go out camping one night, and

686
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.760
I stayed in a in a camper van, so it

687
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.679
wasn't like really outside in a tent exactly. So I

688
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.920
haven't really put myself out there and had a chance

689
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.760
to maybe experience some of the spooky activity people experiencing

690
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:08.719
the forest at night out here.

691
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:12.840
And just as maybe a follow up, but you know,

692
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.519
living out there, and this doesn't have to necessarily be

693
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:20.639
sasquash related, But have you experienced anything that was just

694
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.079
playing weird out there that is really hard to explain?

695
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:31.519
Definitely? I'm like, orbs UFOs is always strange, and how

696
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:34.280
do you explain that? I don't know. But I've seen

697
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.920
those in pretty much any state I've been in, so

698
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:43.639
it's not anything new to Oregon other than yeah, I

699
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.840
don't know. I found some weird things in the forest.

700
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:51.159
For example, I found this the cedar tree that was

701
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:56.440
bent over and twisted three hundred and sixty degrees or

702
00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:58.079
at least one hundred and eighty or three hundred and

703
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.639
sixty degrees around and it goes down into the ground

704
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:03.800
and then it comes back up out of the ground,

705
00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:06.840
and the top of the tree is still growing upright,

706
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:11.119
and part of the tree is underground. It's just bizarre,

707
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:18.079
but I guess that could be explained some other way.

708
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.440
There was one thing I wanted to mention. I had

709
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:27.400
a friend of mine report to me, just because I'm

710
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.559
into this kind of thing, that a friend of his

711
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:36.119
out near Prospect, Oregon, saw something in the forest they

712
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:40.119
described as like a ball of fire that had descended

713
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:42.719
into the tree line. And he sent me this picture

714
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:46.599
and it looks like a forest fire in the woods,

715
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:51.239
but when it was sent it was like raining consistently.

716
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.920
I don't know, honestly, if this was anything, but it

717
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:59.119
just looked really weird and strange. And I talked to

718
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:01.480
the woman on the phone and she said that it

719
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:06.639
seemed like it had a consciousness, like it was a being.

720
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.960
And when they observed it, when they looked at it

721
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.280
and they shot, they shined their car lights at the thing,

722
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:15.679
it got brighter and it started to come towards them

723
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:20.599
and they got scared and they drove away, And yeah,

724
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:23.039
that's just pretty bizarre. And I hear stories like that

725
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:26.800
all the time. I've seen things like that and still

726
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.320
don't know exactly what's going on.

727
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:33.119
Have you ever looked up what ball lightning is.

728
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:35.519
Ball lightning? Yes?

729
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:35.800
I have.

730
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:44.800
I don't know. I've seen maybe a video of ball

731
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:51.480
lightning before, and that looked blue. This thing in the

732
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.400
picture was orange, So I don't know if ball lightning

733
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:58.880
can change colors. But I guess in terms of it

734
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:03.119
being like a blowing orb of lights, yeah, I guess

735
00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:05.760
you could say it's similar. I just I don't know

736
00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:10.519
a whole lot about ball lightning, like the UAP or

737
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:17.199
things that I've seen seem more like less like ball

738
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:19.079
lightning than people described.

739
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:24.800
Sure, and what an absolutely fascinating discussion. And thank you

740
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:29.320
for sharing what you experienced out there near Rice Creek

741
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:32.639
in Minnesota, Jeremy. I really want to dig more into that.

742
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.519
I think I'm going to feels like there's a lot

743
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:38.599
going on up there over the years and Swas. Thank

744
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:40.679
you for coming on the show, for sharing what you

745
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:43.920
experienced and been a very enjoyable discussion.

746
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.079
Yeah, no, problem. Thanks for having me. I appreciate the

747
00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:50.239
opportunity to share.

748
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:56.239
All right, So I just reached out to Daniel. Your

749
00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.320
last name is public, right, Yeah, it's public. Ye okay.

750
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:03.360
I just reached out to Daniel Hamilton from Man Dane.

751
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:07.280
This is so unprepared. I can't even remember your episode number.

752
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:12.679
But you're from, of course the Crypti podcast. Correct, yep, I'm.

753
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.280
The host of that and the co host of Mysteries Unknown.

754
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:18.239
Hekka. I just got off the phone with a gentleman

755
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.440
who was telling me about his encounter from Rice Creek

756
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:24.559
up there by Minneapolis. I was like, man, I gotta

757
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:27.639
talk to Daniel because he probably knows stuff. So what

758
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:28.599
do you know, my friend.

759
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.840
I do know that Rice Creek is like fifteen minutes

760
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:38.239
from my house, and I camp there or have camped

761
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:42.079
there a bunch of times. I was doing some research

762
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:47.920
not even a month ago, for a buddy mine who

763
00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:50.760
had a wind to go and counter not far from

764
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:55.159
Rice Creek either, and we're looking for a place to

765
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:58.519
do some investigation work. And that's when I found that

766
00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:03.400
there was a sighting near Rice Creek. And yeah, so

767
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.480
I'm super excited to go out and to do some

768
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:06.400
actual field work.

769
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:09.719
I know there's been sighting in that area.

770
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:10.280
Yeah.

771
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:13.719
So this guy Jeremy I was talking to, so he

772
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:17.159
had a sighting as a young kid and he saw

773
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.000
a blonde bigfoot. But the thing is he also found

774
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:25.559
another report where some witnesses had seen a blond bigfoot

775
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:27.320
in the same area as well, So I would keep

776
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.920
an eye out for that detail as well.

777
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.400
I'm definitely I can't wait to listen to it, to

778
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:35.599
this episode that you got hopefully coming out. But the

779
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:42.639
information that I found was a large creature walking across

780
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.800
a lake, a frozen lake or a pond, whatever you

781
00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:50.239
want to call it, to a smaller island that had

782
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.119
tree out crops on this little island in this lake.

783
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:57.519
And the couple was out walking their dogs when they

784
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:02.880
saw this thing like across the ice. If you've ever

785
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:05.400
been on ice, you're trying to cross ice, you want

786
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:06.960
to be as careful as you can. This thing was

787
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:10.960
flying across the ice and it went off into this

788
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:14.079
little island. And I think I have the island located,

789
00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:16.320
but it's close to the Rice Creek area.

790
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.800
Okay, this just because it sounds like you've been there, Daniel,

791
00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.320
This Rice Creek area do you feel like it could

792
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:26.480
be an area that could support creature like Bigfoot or

793
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:28.760
do you think they might just be retely.

794
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:34.719
Absolutely, dude, because there's now the way the camping thing

795
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.199
is set up is when you come into Rice Creek,

796
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:41.280
you have wetlands and woods all around you. I've seen

797
00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:47.400
dear multiple times through that area, rabbits stamping.

798
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:48.960
Turtles, squirrels.

799
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:52.679
I assume there's going to be raccoons, postum everything around

800
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:57.960
that area. Large water source, wetlands, pretty of covered concealment.

801
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:00.159
Not to mention a lot of campers they leave their

802
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:07.000
coolers outside of their their tents or their campers, so

803
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.039
those are we know they're creatures of opportunity, so it's

804
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:11.320
a good possibility they can be raided.

805
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:11.800
Those two.

806
00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:16.280
But the times that I've been there, I've heard something.

807
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:18.840
Not sure what it was, so I'm not saying it

808
00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:22.199
was a sasquatch, but to me, it didn't sound like

809
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:26.360
anything I've heard before. And we were sitting around a

810
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:29.719
campfire one night when we heard this noise was.

811
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:34.280
It was definitely like a wasn't quite a growl, wasn't

812
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:35.199
quite a howl.

813
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:42.679
And everybody's looked at each other and they asked me

814
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.400
what it was, and I go, I don't know, a

815
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:49.400
dog or something. I don't know, because people bring their

816
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:53.760
dogs camping in this location. But when you come into

817
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:58.519
the park, the Rice Creek Park area you go to.

818
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:03.440
When you see you go up, you go to the left,

819
00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:04.440
that's where all the camping.

820
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:08.159
That's where all the camping sites are, and they have

821
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:11.760
electric hookups, they have water hookups that type stuff, and

822
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:13.840
they also have like a couple of areas of like

823
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:17.079
primitive camping, no hookups, just tend you to camp to

824
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:21.039
the tent. And if you keep going straight bypass the

825
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.000
camping area, that's where you go to the actual right

826
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:26.239
the lake and there's a lake with the beaches of

827
00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:28.280
the beach here and everything, a little parking area then

828
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:31.760
that goes up and around. So it's a pretty large area,

829
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:36.480
but it is it is in a not truly a

830
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:39.760
residential area. But there are houses on the lake and

831
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:43.679
there are some housing developments around this area, and it's

832
00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.599
somebody it would not surprise me in the least.

833
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:48.519
So is this a kind of area where there's like

834
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:51.639
sometimes in a residential urban type setting where you have

835
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:53.639
like Bigfoot hanging out in an area like this there's

836
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:56.679
gonna be like a green space where like a trail

837
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.360
of woods that lead into this. Is this is the

838
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.880
case or is it just like an island of a

839
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:04.599
forest here.

840
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:08.440
There are walking trails throughout this area. You can ride

841
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:12.079
your bike through this area, but it's pretty much set

842
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:17.519
up to be a campground. This area, now, this is

843
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:19.960
the air of Rice Creek that I know of now,

844
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:23.000
because I'm only really familiar with that area, I haven't

845
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:25.679
really gone out and explored more of the area. But

846
00:56:26.440 --> 00:56:31.639
when I reviewed that story that accounter, they also mentioned

847
00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:35.400
it's near like a state park or like a kind

848
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:39.519
of like like Rice Creek Recreation area or whatever. Right,

849
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:42.079
And I did a Google map on it, and I

850
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:45.400
looked at the area and I could see how they're connected.

851
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:46.679
Got it.

852
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:49.199
So it does look like there is some service roads

853
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:54.239
that go through and so them traveling back and forth

854
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:55.199
would be pretty easy.

855
00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:57.960
I got to look into this more, Daniel. I don't

856
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:00.599
want to keep you away from your but thank you

857
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:03.159
for hopping on for a few minutes and for sharing

858
00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:06.800
what it's like up their current day. I appreciate it.

859
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.239
Oh yeah, not a problem, man, And I can't wait

860
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:12.440
to hear this episode you're going to put this on

861
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:15.079
for what this individual reported to you, I can't. I'm

862
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:18.079
excited about it because again it's literally fifteen to twenty minutes.

863
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:18.400
From my house.

864
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:22.639
Dude, I'm loving it. And guys, if you're not aware

865
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:26.239
of Mysteries Unknown and the Crypted podcast, make sure you're

866
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:30.400
checking it out. I'll have links in the description for

867
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:34.079
that as well. But thank you, Daniel hey.

868
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:35.199
Man, Thanks lot. Hope you have a good day and

869
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:36.880
hope you have near.

870
00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:40.480
All right.

871
00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:43.880
Hey, we've actually got Doug Hicheck on the phone, and

872
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:47.239
listeners are probably familiar with Doug from of course the

873
00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:54.440
awesome documentary Sasquatch Legend meets Science. How are you doing, sir, good?

874
00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:57.159
How are you good? I just reached out to you

875
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:01.920
after I recorded the episode that listeners just to listen to,

876
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:05.440
and I wanted to see if you would be able

877
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:08.440
to take a few minutes to actually share what you

878
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:11.079
experienced in Rice Creek, and I think that would be

879
00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:11.840
amazing to hear.

880
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:18.119
Yeah, I've got a little bit of experience. And where

881
00:58:18.119 --> 00:58:22.679
it gets weird is for years I was with the

882
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:26.760
BFR own I remember reading the reports obviously down the

883
00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:30.000
road in my own backyard about people that had seen

884
00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:36.000
bigfoots over in this Rice Creek area between like Centerville

885
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:40.719
and Line Lakes and even farther south, because there's a

886
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:45.119
whole chain a very actually I call them. They're in

887
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:51.079
troficated lakes, meaning they're very old lakes. They're not glacier lakes.

888
00:58:51.559 --> 00:58:53.400
And we have a lot of them Minnesota that are

889
00:58:53.480 --> 00:58:57.159
very clean and deep. These are like filled in old

890
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:03.760
ancient lakes or basically swamp shallow water. Very few people,

891
00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:06.800
if any, live on and they've developed a big state

892
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:11.280
parks system around a number of them, with a trail

893
00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:15.400
system and whatnot. But it's a really unique area. And

894
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.760
so I had read the reports years ago, and then

895
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:22.719
one day I decided to buy some land that butted

896
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:26.800
up to some of these two of the lakes more

897
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:32.320
in the northern corridor. And one night I had come

898
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:37.280
walked out of my building or my workshop is, and

899
00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:42.599
I heard some coyotes going off, and then I heard

900
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:46.880
some woodknocks, and I went what, And then I remember

901
00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:52.159
the old BFIRO reports. I just started clicking. I'm realizing

902
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:54.400
that maybe these things are in my own backyard.

903
00:59:54.480 --> 00:59:58.679
Right big for society will be right back after these messages.

904
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:18.159
So I mentioned this to a guy that works for me.

905
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:20.639
We were talking. I said, hey, you need to go

906
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:23.960
out and explore all that area, because I had done it,

907
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:27.239
and I was really interested in just how wooded it

908
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:31.360
was and desolate and how much land there was back there.

909
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:35.239
These lakes are really unique because almost all of them

910
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:37.800
are barbed wired off. You can't even get in there.

911
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:42.679
In fact, the lake behind me, as I got a

912
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:46.480
hold of the owners, apparently they don't let anybody go

913
01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:49.360
on that they want it for it's been in this club,

914
01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:52.960
Honting Club, I believe for one hundred and fifty years.

915
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:56.920
They're not allowed to even go on it, and so

916
01:00:56.960 --> 01:00:59.880
it's a unique area. In fact, apparently they let some

917
01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:04.519
botanists explore the area and they found some plants that

918
01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:07.920
were extinct everywhere else, or at least had thought they

919
01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:11.480
were extinct Oliver, Minnesota. They found him in that area.

920
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:14.159
So it's a unique area. I want to get that across.

921
01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:19.760
Then one day an employee of mine comes up and mentions,

922
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:23.280
he goes, did deer walk upright? And I went, no,

923
01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:26.840
I don't think so he said, with this big giant

924
01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:30.559
red thing. And I was exploring I took your advice,

925
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:34.519
and I was exploring back there. And as I was exploring,

926
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:38.000
i'd come around a little corner and over a little hill,

927
01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:41.400
then down the hill, and there's another curve there. Right

928
01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:44.199
when I went down the hill, I was coasting two

929
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:47.559
in the afternoon, bright sunny day, and lo and behold,

930
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:55.480
there's an animal walking across the road upright. And it

931
01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:59.280
was not only upright, it stepped over the barber fence

932
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:01.760
and just speared into the bush. And he goes, that

933
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:04.719
must have been a deer, right, I said. I asked

934
01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:09.039
him to have broad shoulders. He had had broad shoulders,

935
01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:12.960
and asked him how tall it was. He's thinking seven

936
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:15.800
and a half tall. And I'm like, why.

937
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:16.599
Do you think it was a deery?

938
01:02:16.679 --> 01:02:20.119
So it's a color of a deer alburn collared. And

939
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:25.880
then he pointed to a pair of shoes in my shoeholders,

940
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:28.519
shoes that I have, and there's this lining in one

941
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:32.239
of them, or one pair that's auburn colored, were ringing

942
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:35.400
a tan colored, right, And I basically convinced him he

943
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:39.280
did not see an upright walking deer. Years later, I

944
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:42.679
was driving back, had driven out the White Bear Lake

945
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:45.639
with a vet. We had to run an air and

946
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:48.079
out there, and it's on our way out there, there

947
01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:52.039
was a water ski show on one of these lakes,

948
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:55.800
probably the deepest one that butts up to Rice Creek Park.

949
01:02:56.400 --> 01:02:59.679
And normally there's nothing on allecause there was nobody that

950
01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:02.440
lives on it, but they were put in a water

951
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:04.920
ski show and there was quite a few children gathered

952
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:08.280
around the shore watching this as we drove through this

953
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:12.559
little windy village and windy road out to White Bear Lake.

954
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.480
So on our way back, it's starting to get dark,

955
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:20.840
not a tonne of light, very dusky, and suddenly on

956
01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:26.800
our right side and we see what looks to be

957
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:31.800
a bigfoot walking with its back to us. On the

958
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:38.719
right side. That hit the most unique hair that I've

959
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:41.440
ever seen. It look almost like a starling if you

960
01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:47.719
look up a starling, very patchy, little like speckles throughout it,

961
01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:53.039
very even, very salt and pepper. It was just weird

962
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:54.760
if you look up as starling. It's the only way

963
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.960
I can describe what this hair looks like. But it's big,

964
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:02.760
probably seventy eight feet tall, big broad shoulders. I see

965
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.760
its legs, I can see its glutes, and it's just

966
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:10.480
plowing and I mean plowing through these trees and just

967
01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:14.400
knocking these little trees down in this ditch, and it

968
01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:16.800
looked and then suddenly I realized it's going into that

969
01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:20.639
Rondel Lake that's where Joe had his sighting and where

970
01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:25.320
there's been other sightings. And it's just basically I think

971
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:29.840
that it was watching all the kids that were on

972
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:34.400
the shore watching this water ski show. It's a feeling

973
01:04:34.440 --> 01:04:37.639
I got. It was probably the woods behind there. It

974
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:39.960
was probably watching them from the woods, and now it's

975
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.679
going back. They probably heard this commotion in an area

976
01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:48.440
it never hurt any commotion. So we see this thing

977
01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:52.320
trudging through and then it disappears down into these thick

978
01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:56.360
alders and there was even cars behind me. They must

979
01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:59.000
have seen it. And we were just in shock. And

980
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:01.440
when you're in chocolate, you just keep driving.

981
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:02.840
I didn't know what to do.

982
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.679
She's like, you saw that. I'm like, yeah, and it's over.

983
01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:11.960
It's the number of six seven seconds of shock. But

984
01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:16.119
it all made sense. Everything that we saw made sense

985
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:20.559
based on prior reports, based on the history of the area,

986
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:25.079
the type of environment, because no one's allowed and where

987
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:28.119
this thing was heading, no one's allowed in there. There's

988
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:31.960
not one home. It's just a big kind of wilderness, swampy,

989
01:05:32.039 --> 01:05:35.679
shallow lake that I'm sure has quite a bit of fishing,

990
01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:39.159
lots of deer, lots of turkeys, lots of coyotes, a

991
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:43.079
lot of fox playing game for food, and nobody can

992
01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:45.679
camp in there. There's no dogs allowed in there, and

993
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:49.239
it's barbed wired off on the home corner of this land.

994
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:53.679
We just went in shock. I've never really experienced shock,

995
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:56.800
Like why didn't I stop? Why didn't I pull over?

996
01:05:57.679 --> 01:05:59.880
Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?

997
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:02.239
I think about it. I know I had cars mind,

998
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.480
he's not really any kind of shoulder to pull over,

999
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.519
but I still regret not doing that, whipping my camera

1000
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:14.119
out and filming. So that's the story Byron.

1001
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:16.000
That's incredible.

1002
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:16.280
Doug.

1003
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:17.119
What year was that?

1004
01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:25.400
Oh, that would have been probably about five years ago.

1005
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:30.440
Now only five years ago, Doug, Yeah, twenty twenty, Oh

1006
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:34.480
my goodness, five years ago.

1007
01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:39.119
Joe's citing happened. And I do recommend if you ever

1008
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:41.800
want to talk to Joe, I can get you his number.

1009
01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:45.039
But Joe was also in shock, to the point where

1010
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.119
he's in denial of what he saw. It all makes

1011
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:50.559
sense now. And it was funny too, because I hooked

1012
01:06:50.639 --> 01:06:53.880
him up with a tracker that sent him back over

1013
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:57.480
to that area and they drove around this perimeter row

1014
01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:00.320
that kind of goes around the outside of it where

1015
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:03.840
he had his sighting where it crossed. And what's interesting

1016
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:07.000
is where it crossed, there was a farm on the

1017
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:09.760
left side, and there's a tree break that goes to

1018
01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:14.400
a lake called Crossways Lake that's also a big kind

1019
01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:18.880
of wilderness area that my shop kind of butts up

1020
01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:22.199
to the land before the forest starts or where I

1021
01:07:22.199 --> 01:07:27.079
heard the wood night. And he brings his tracker and

1022
01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:29.079
he drown the perimeter and he goes he didn't tell

1023
01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:31.519
the tracker where he had his sight He's like, well,

1024
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.239
you tell me, or you think if this thing was

1025
01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:37.199
going to cross, so we're on this whole long road,

1026
01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:39.960
where would it cross? And he picked the exact spot

1027
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:44.400
that Joe had a sighting. And then Joe was featured

1028
01:07:44.599 --> 01:07:50.519
in America Unearthed with Scott Walter and the Bigfoot. The

1029
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:55.320
one Bigfoot episode that they did for America Unearthed. There

1030
01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:59.679
was also another little caveat to the story. Joe had

1031
01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:05.400
told me his sighting. Literally it was days later when

1032
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:08.800
he was over. We were working on a project, and

1033
01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:13.239
on the news came a story of somebody spotting a

1034
01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:18.319
bigfoot and getting footage in that same area, and so

1035
01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:20.880
of course we're just wepens and eagles waiting for this

1036
01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:23.560
news story to come on because he had seen this

1037
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.479
red one. And they show the footage on the news,

1038
01:08:27.199 --> 01:08:29.920
and sure as heck, you can see it's an alburn

1039
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:34.119
colored bigfoot that ducks. It's it's not real long footage,

1040
01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:36.439
and it's like a lot of the bigfoot footage a bit.

1041
01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:39.279
You know, it's blurry, it's quick, but it's actually, I

1042
01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:42.600
think one of the better ones. And it did make

1043
01:08:42.680 --> 01:08:45.840
its rounds on YouTube, and I can vouch that footage

1044
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:50.920
is authentic based on Joe's sighting just days prior to

1045
01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:54.439
this couple, and apparently it was a farmer couple that

1046
01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:58.640
had seen this thing. A god cell phone footage of

1047
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:02.079
it as it ducked into the trees very quickly. It

1048
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:05.279
was walking at a very quick pace, ducked under some trees,

1049
01:09:05.600 --> 01:09:09.279
but it was auburn colored. And then I ran an

1050
01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:14.359
ad in that local newspaper offering a like a thousand

1051
01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:18.399
dollars reward or a reward for them to come forward

1052
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:21.359
because they dropped the footage. Outs at the news station

1053
01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:24.520
wouldn't give their names, didn't want anything to do with it,

1054
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:26.600
but wanted it to get it out to the public

1055
01:09:26.760 --> 01:09:29.920
what they had seen. But no names were associated. So

1056
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:33.720
I ran this ad for a month or so and

1057
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:39.159
in their local newspaper and then Still Water newspaper. Nobody responded.

1058
01:09:39.199 --> 01:09:43.680
I never got one response to find them.

1059
01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:47.399
Was this also five years ago as well?

1060
01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:52.319
No, this goes back that one Joe siting goes back

1061
01:09:52.399 --> 01:09:54.239
probably ten or eleven years.

1062
01:09:54.479 --> 01:09:57.279
Okay, Wow, Like.

1063
01:09:57.319 --> 01:10:00.319
I said, we're in colored. But it was who in

1064
01:10:00.359 --> 01:10:04.439
the afternoon Byron. It was in front of his truck

1065
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:09.159
to in the afternoon, unfettered by any trees or anything,

1066
01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:12.520
walked in front of his truck, stepped over about a

1067
01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:16.399
five foot barber and fence and was gone, disappeared into

1068
01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:16.800
the bush.

1069
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:18.800
Wow.

1070
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:19.880
That poor joke.

1071
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:24.680
Yeah, it was just well you said, I feel sorry

1072
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:27.960
for the guy because he was convinced it was a deer.

1073
01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:32.560
He didn't even he didn't want to tell me. Just

1074
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:34.680
felt silly deer walking up right right.

1075
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:35.399
Wow.

1076
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:38.199
So I just tried to do a quick search. I've

1077
01:10:38.239 --> 01:10:42.720
never heard or that footage I've never heard of footage

1078
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.000
from that area, but yeah, if that's something, where where

1079
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:47.640
it is online or like, I couldn't find it on YouTube.

1080
01:10:47.720 --> 01:10:50.079
I just spent a minute, though, I would love to

1081
01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:52.800
see that footage if you know where it is.

1082
01:10:54.079 --> 01:11:01.199
I've called, yeah, I've heard it called the Stillwater Kroy footage,

1083
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:06.039
and see that area is they do east? Exactly do

1084
01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:08.920
east where Joe had his siding's on Big Marine Lake

1085
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:11.800
is where that sighting happened. So if you just walk

1086
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.199
due east from this Rondel Lake where he and his

1087
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:19.399
sighting and that Rice Creek chain of lakes, it's just

1088
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:22.760
due east and there it was not even I don't

1089
01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:26.720
think even four or five miles away from Joe's sighting,

1090
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:30.399
doing towards the Saint Croix Valley, which is where I

1091
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:34.720
think I theorize that's where they come from, the Saint

1092
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.239
Croix Valley, Minnesota, and then that's their area that they

1093
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:44.039
either traverse, migrate up and down, or live. And then

1094
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:48.159
they punch in every now and then to these areas

1095
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:51.640
that are untouched but yet still very much close to

1096
01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:56.479
the edges. Because we have so many deer, so much

1097
01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:00.520
heap sane, I can't take a dry we're on that

1098
01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:06.119
lake without seeing fox, coyotes, owls, turkeys, and just tons

1099
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:08.039
of deer, just thick with game.

1100
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:12.279
How many, approximately, how many reports do you think have

1101
01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:14.000
been from this Rice Creek area?

1102
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:20.000
Doug Oh, I'm going to guess we're probably looking at

1103
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:24.560
to be official and unofficial. The official ones are probably

1104
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:29.600
only five or six because people are afraid report them.

1105
01:12:29.880 --> 01:12:32.600
But I'm thinking now just the ones I know about,

1106
01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:35.399
the ones I've heard about from other people, I think

1107
01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:38.680
we're up to about twenty some Oh my goodness.

1108
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.119
And how far back would you say? Year wise?

1109
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.880
What's real interesting is that the road Joe had his

1110
01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:53.399
sighting on is called fur Man Road.

1111
01:12:53.600 --> 01:13:06.119
Really yeah, coincidence coincidence, I don't know, but see the sighting.

1112
01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:08.279
See you have to think when did the be a

1113
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:10.880
farals start reporting stuff? And where did they even come

1114
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:14.079
to an existence? I think back into the nineties, but

1115
01:13:14.199 --> 01:13:18.119
I'm sure there's been sightings back there forever. And I

1116
01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:25.439
often wonder why did those lakes get barbed wired off?

1117
01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:30.880
Why have they not been touched in iron fifty years?

1118
01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:37.399
There's some of the most ancient Indian sites that occupied

1119
01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:39.840
that area, and I can't think of the name of

1120
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:44.920
the tribe. But there's an ancient that goes back thousands

1121
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:50.560
of years that inhabited that area. So there's definitely a

1122
01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:54.960
lot of native history. They've found artifacts, and so the lakes,

1123
01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:57.399
I can name some of them. There starts it with

1124
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:03.359
like Blampray Lake, and there's another of smaller lakes that

1125
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:06.000
are too small to even name, and then Ron daw

1126
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:10.319
and then George Watch there's another one I can't think of.

1127
01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:12.439
It's been a while since I've thought about the names

1128
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:15.159
and all these lakes. And then the ones that go

1129
01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:23.279
through the Rice Creek Park, the official park, and that

1130
01:14:23.479 --> 01:14:27.159
goes far south. But here's where it gets really interesting. Byron,

1131
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:31.920
do you remember the man that went missing, the Henry

1132
01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:36.159
McCabe story where they found his body. That's interesting because

1133
01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:42.239
he took a shortcut through that area oh at night.

1134
01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:46.319
Oh and you remember this that was recorded in him

1135
01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:49.439
saying stop it and the screaming, and there was a

1136
01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:54.359
very strange recording. And I don't want to say that

1137
01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:58.520
he was drowned or killed by a bigfoot, but that

1138
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.279
was the first thing I crossed my mind when he

1139
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:04.399
went missing through there, and I realized that he had

1140
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:10.119
taken a shortcut through that lake area, and that's where

1141
01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:15.319
they found him too, floating in one of those lakes. Yeah,

1142
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:18.000
it's just it's a real spooky area. And I do.

1143
01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:20.439
I go out there at night and I do surveillance

1144
01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:23.720
with like really low light cameras where I can set

1145
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:27.279
up and do surveillance and where I can see across

1146
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:29.880
like Rondell Lake. I can see all the way across

1147
01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:34.840
with like Sony a seven camera and has five hundred

1148
01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:41.960
and fifty thousand ISO, so it gets down almost it's

1149
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:44.479
like color picture and pitch blackness.

1150
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:45.720
Right.

1151
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:47.840
I just need a few stars out and I can

1152
01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:50.760
see all the way across the lake, and so I

1153
01:15:50.760 --> 01:15:54.720
can patrol the shoreline and stuff. And I do that

1154
01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:58.840
and then I drive the lake real slow. The trouble is,

1155
01:15:59.079 --> 01:16:01.880
I have a feeling that the neighbors have all had

1156
01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:06.159
experiences out there. They just really don't want to be

1157
01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:10.159
bothered by researchers and seem a little In fact, when

1158
01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:15.399
we were out there filming with Scott Walter, some neighbors

1159
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:17.720
got very upset with us.

1160
01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:19.479
Oh wow, I don't know.

1161
01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:23.039
I don't want attention drawn to the area, But like

1162
01:16:23.079 --> 01:16:25.920
you said, they're still it's a whole chain of lakes.

1163
01:16:25.960 --> 01:16:28.079
It's just it's a long thirty five w I want

1164
01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:30.199
to put me a one last story. I was up

1165
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:34.560
at the Grand Rapids Bigfoot conference. I met a couple

1166
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:37.239
up there, and they pulled me aside, and it's like, hey,

1167
01:16:37.279 --> 01:16:39.479
we want to tell you a story of it happened

1168
01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:42.920
to us that in those same areas, in that same area,

1169
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:45.600
right cur and I joined them and sat down and

1170
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:49.239
they told me about They told me about a story

1171
01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:53.800
where he was anxious to get his mountain bike out,

1172
01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:57.640
and so he took it out. He has tires pumped up,

1173
01:16:57.680 --> 01:16:59.600
and he took a little ride and was in March.

1174
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:02.920
It was still very cold out, it's dark, it's like

1175
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:06.439
eight o'clock at night, and so he takes his ride.

1176
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:08.359
Where do you think he goes? He goes along there

1177
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:12.199
some of the trails along these in trafficated lakes, right

1178
01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:16.399
the same white chain, but more towards the south, towards

1179
01:17:16.399 --> 01:17:19.319
the White Bear. In fact, not too far from the

1180
01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:22.239
White Bear at theater. There's some of these lakes and

1181
01:17:22.359 --> 01:17:26.880
ponds and woods. So he's riding his bike and he's

1182
01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:31.359
riding by, here's this big giant splash. He said it

1183
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:35.920
just sounded like a depth charge splash. So he parked

1184
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:38.600
his bike and he walked over this pond. He walked

1185
01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:41.399
a little ways from his bike, walked over to the

1186
01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:46.199
pond and he sees what he thinks is like a

1187
01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:48.760
creature crouched down at the ende of the pond, and

1188
01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:53.800
it's reaching down picking up another rock, like a real

1189
01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:59.199
big rock, and flings it at him again. And this

1190
01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:04.159
big thing it goes god doue water flies up and

1191
01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:07.520
of course now he's scared out of his mind. He

1192
01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:11.600
runs back to his bike the byron his bike is

1193
01:18:11.640 --> 01:18:19.279
gone now, bike aken, and he's like, oh crap, what

1194
01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:22.720
do I do? Do I run home? Do I try

1195
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:26.039
to look for my bike? And he decided he's like,

1196
01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:27.960
oh my god, it's a long ways, it's cold, I'm

1197
01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:29.880
going to go try to look for my bike. It

1198
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.079
can't be far. Where is it? Am I crazy? And

1199
01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:35.359
he finds it dragged off into the woods a bit

1200
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:38.479
now where he put it, And he gets out of

1201
01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:41.119
his bike and he high tels out of there. And

1202
01:18:41.239 --> 01:18:44.600
that's his story. It's not real long, but I still

1203
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:48.159
am planning. I'm planning on this spring, getting a dive

1204
01:18:48.279 --> 01:18:52.000
team to try to find those rocks. We're planning just

1205
01:18:52.039 --> 01:18:54.920
to kind of shore up his story. Be really cool

1206
01:18:54.920 --> 01:18:56.920
to you have little divers in there are the water

1207
01:18:57.079 --> 01:19:01.199
cameras and a little inflammable boat just to find those rocks,

1208
01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:04.880
because he said it was like these were like demp

1209
01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:08.159
charges going off when they hit the water. There were

1210
01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:11.399
big rocks, and of course it takes a big creature

1211
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:16.399
to throw big rocks, right. Absolutely, those are the type

1212
01:19:16.439 --> 01:19:19.159
of stories that come out of this strange area.

1213
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:24.520
It's so awesome. It's incredible all the information is coming

1214
01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:27.680
