Season 1

In this episode, we explore a gripping collection of firsthand Sasquatch encounters stretching across seven states, from the forests of Tennessee and the wetlands of Florida to the high timber of northeast Oregon and the rural backroads of Pennsylvania. A bowhunter recounts a startling sighting near Oakridge, Oregon, where a tall, bipedal figure moved through the trees with steady, deliberate motion. In Arkansas, a witness shares what he heard his first night living beside the legendary Boggy Creek. In rural Pennsylvania, a woman opens up about the day she was followed by a towering white creature along a secluded country road.


Listeners will also hear long-term activity reports from Florida’s Bulow Creek State Park, where unexplained tracks, strange structures, and unsettling nighttime events have persisted for decades, as well as ongoing encounters along the Appalachian Trail in Lehigh County. From guttural roars that send animals fleeing, to unseen presences standing just beyond the firelight, each guest brings calm, grounded testimony shaped by years of reflection and life in the outdoors.


These accounts come from hunters, hikers, ranchers, and lifelong woodsmen who know their land and recognize when something unfamiliar moves through it. Join us as we trace geographic patterns, recurring behaviors, and the enduring mystery of Sasquatch across America, following the locations, the timelines, and the experiences that continue to draw people into this phenomenon.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.640
So stay with us. Hey, James, how's it going.

11
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.600
I'm going pretty good. Been watching Hey awesome?

12
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.439
Been watching y'all, well, your shows and a couple more.

13
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.359
A lot of about the land between the likes where

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.320
they had two nineteen eighty two massacre at the Yep

15
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:59.439
Yep and or was it the doll Man Orank type base? Yes,

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.119
you know, ironically, I remember hearing about that I was

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:09.200
twelve years old on the new Channel five in Nashville.

18
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.040
Wow.

19
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:17.840
Really they didn't talk about it much, but yeah.

20
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.760
That's wild. Do you have any have you experienced any

21
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.079
bigfoot activity yourself?

22
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:29.280
Years ago? I did, like I said. I lived northeast.

23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.640
Northeast of Nashville on the Kentucky line, and it was

24
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.760
back in the nineties. I lived in the area called

25
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:47.719
Best Page, not far from Westmoreland, didn't sleeve, and owned

26
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.439
a little house out there off Highway fifty two. It

27
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:55.879
was on about fifteen acres, like hilled at side.

28
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:00.200
There was nothing out there woods. I kept hearing and.

29
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.040
I actually never seen it, but you can actually at

30
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.879
night it would come around a bunch of dolls to

31
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.039
get all upset, and I go out there and try

32
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:11.680
to see.

33
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.280
It, and it would take off running.

34
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.199
You could actually fill it something in the ground with

35
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:24.599
your feet. And sometime passed. I believe it's ninety eight.

36
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.919
I had moved West Morland, but down the road down there,

37
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.199
it was called off of roads Fork Road. There was

38
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.639
building power lines and stepped out on some property and

39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.199
I got from a sin to bowl one out there.

40
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.520
We went out there one morning and it was just

41
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.439
it was like you didn't hear nothing. I got up

42
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.319
in a tree as sun comes up, heard a lot

43
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.199
of racket and some tickets. First I thought maybe it

44
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.199
was a couple of ds, but it was big and

45
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.120
it had made a really strange noise. I was about

46
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.599
twelve foot up in the tree, I guess twelve fifteen

47
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:16.560
foot and I looked and hey, it run downside the

48
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.840
hollow on two the legs.

49
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.960
It was big. It was harry, and I had a bowl.

50
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.680
And I sat there was it stramelyxtramely quiet as it

51
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.039
run off, went to the other side of the mountain.

52
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.199
I went home. Wife looked.

53
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.039
I said, I ain't going down there unless I got

54
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.439
a gun. I never went back down there now. I

55
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.479
told everybody, and there were several people I talked to

56
00:03:49.719 --> 00:04:01.280
in that area that had seen the same thing.

57
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.439
How far away from it do you think you were?

58
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:13.280
Oh, God, probably about seventy five to a hundred yards.

59
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.879
I mean, when when something like that happens, you're not

60
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.839
wanting to sit there. I just couldn't believe what I

61
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.879
was saying at first. That's aught no way, it ain't

62
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.720
a bear. There's never been a bear up in this area.

63
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.360
But the problem was that stood up on high legs

64
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:43.279
and was running and it had weight to it. So,

65
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.040
to be honest with you, I don't know if it

66
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.800
was a dog man or bigfoot. To me it was

67
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.600
a bigfoot.

68
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.199
Did you get a good look at its face at all.

69
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:03.839
No, God, some was coming up. All I seen was here, gotcha?

70
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.360
And of course he kind of shocked. Let me say,

71
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.240
it's like twenty eight years old. Back then, I was like, oh, no,

72
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.240
nobody gonna blieve me.

73
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.079
Why I tell him this?

74
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.079
Of course I went to work. I worked in Nashville,

75
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.439
and I told him. I said, yeah, right. But then

76
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.040
another guy heard some rumors about it too up there

77
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:32.600
and uh here lately on YouTube, i've been Uh there

78
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.399
was a gentleman and ladies that was interviewing a guy.

79
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:42.120
It's not the one that up at Land between the Lights.

80
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.720
It's some guy I wish I remembered his name. He

81
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.839
was on there and I talked about moving to west Moreland.

82
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.560
He was out of Kentucky and down in that range

83
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:03.240
around the Westmoreland area. He had encountered one or somebody

84
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.560
he knew had encountered one, and he was going down

85
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.680
there and investigate.

86
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.759
But it was on one of those Land between the

87
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:23.480
Lakes interviews. It wasn't that Martin guy. It was another guy.

88
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:25.560
Okay, gotcha?

89
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:26.079
Yep?

90
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.879
I know Martin pretty well, yeah, a few times.

91
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.120
So it was another guy. I'd like to go up.

92
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.439
I had no idea, of course as a kid that

93
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:43.600
I had went on up there. And one night I

94
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.439
was sitting here looking and I of course the tik

95
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.519
tark and went to the YouTube and I.

96
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.240
Said, no way.

97
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.040
And now I got to thinking back, and I remember that,

98
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.480
and I said, well, okay, I ain't crazy.

99
00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.800
There's other people who've seen it too.

100
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.720
But up in this area now, I haven't heard much

101
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.480
about it anymore.

102
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.279
Around the area.

103
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:16.160
Of course, I moved more east towards Macon County, but

104
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.600
I haven't heard nothing like that in this area.

105
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.160
Okay, gotcha. Well, I appreciate you you sharing what you

106
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.439
experienced when you were up in the tree stand that

107
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.040
day a.

108
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.360
Long time ago. But it looks like now it's becoming

109
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.959
more common. People were coming out talking about it.

110
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.959
I would say, so definitely. There's, man, there's people reaching

111
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.759
out every day. Well, man, I appreciate you being up here.

112
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.079
I got a few people to hang to check in

113
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.120
with it as well. But thank you so much for

114
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:48.240
spending some time up here.

115
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.800
Man, Thank you, sir, my boy.

116
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.319
Hey, Chris, how's it going?

117
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:56.560
Hey?

118
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:57.079
Can you hear me?

119
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:58.240
Yeah?

120
00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.639
You sound great. How are you doing, man?

121
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.040
I'm doing real good. Back when I was about back

122
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.600
about nineteen eighty nine.

123
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:06.160
Uh.

124
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.879
Well, first off, I live in Northeast Florida, northeast central Florida,

125
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.000
and I got in some trouble as a kid having

126
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.120
some beer on me and I got arrested, and I

127
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.959
got some community service to how to do community hours

128
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:29.040
to a local state park. Well, I reported for my hours,

129
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.000
went over there and met with the park ranger and

130
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.200
I got to riding around with him pretty regularly, and

131
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.519
he always had this camcorder with him and I could

132
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.120
never figure out, like, I guess he's, you know, videoing

133
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.840
the the nature. He's taking nature walks. And he was

134
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.480
a state park ranger at the time. And I later

135
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:59.919
found out and he has a daughter that I kind

136
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:02.759
of I grew up with and I worked with, and

137
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.399
I used to say this to her. I said, Hey,

138
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.159
your dad, Danny used to have that cam quarder. She said, yeah,

139
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.759
he was always trying to catch the the bigfoot, that

140
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.679
was the skun cape that was out here, and I

141
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.679
was like really wow, wow. Well after that, I got

142
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.480
into hunting over the years, and we kind of I

143
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.919
frequent the same set of woods that this state park borders,

144
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.399
and over the years I would going through the woods

145
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.039
and everything deer hunter, bowhunt and everything. I came out

146
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.600
to the in this one section of the woods and

147
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:49.039
I found this palmetto or palm tree or palms is

148
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.360
what they are, that was pulled out of the ground

149
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.679
and peeled like a banana and whatever it was ate

150
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.759
the heart of the of the plant out like the

151
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.799
heart of palm. And it also and there was a

152
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:08.399
sinew everywhere. There's pieces of this tore up palmetto bush

153
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.639
all over the place. Looked like a bomb went off,

154
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.279
and I'm thinking it was a bear. But whatever this

155
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.639
thing was made a bed with the sinew and twisted

156
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.840
it and made a little mattress with the twisted fibers

157
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:29.480
of this palm tree. And I couldn't figure. No, I

158
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.080
didn't put two and two together. And then a couple

159
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.919
of years later, I had shot a deer in the

160
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.960
same area a dough and I watched it lay down

161
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.639
and about eighty yards from me, and I continue to

162
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.720
hunt that evening. It was early in the hunt, and

163
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.440
I went to retrieve my deer and there's no deer now.

164
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.080
I watched it lay down and all that, and I

165
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.240
blood everywhere where it laid down and I kind of

166
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:04.720
followed the blood trail leading off into some deeper, thicker stuff,

167
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.399
and I found a print. It was as whatever picked

168
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:14.120
this dough up was not leaving a print. It was

169
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.600
stepping on all the vegetation, not in the muddy areas

170
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.080
or the soil areas. It was intentionally stepping on spots

171
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.759
where it wouldn't leave a print. But it did leave

172
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.799
a print as it crossed a small stream. I followed

173
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.840
specs of blood and everything to the stream and there

174
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.240
was about a fourteen inch print or a size fourteen

175
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.840
I should say. It was a lot bigger than my

176
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.559
size twelve boot. And I could see it in the

177
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:47.399
sand in the center of this stream, and so I

178
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.960
started thinking, you know, it started really biggering me.

179
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:50.919
Up like this.

180
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.440
You know, there has to be a skun cape. And

181
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.840
I put the stuff that I had in the past

182
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:59.799
with the park ranger and what I've been told about

183
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:05.440
the reports in this area, and so I continue to

184
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.399
hunt out there over the last couple of years, and

185
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.080
each year there'd be something strange happened. I had brought

186
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.720
a bunch of oranges, a bag of oranges out there

187
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.039
to kind of kind of not bake this thing up

188
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.519
or just give it oranges to maybe a peace offering.

189
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.080
So I was kind of scared to go in this area.

190
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.039
I reluctant to get to hunt there because I was

191
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.279
afraid what was you know, what was in there? Well,

192
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.759
whatever it was, took the oranges and left no scraps,

193
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.399
took the bag and everything. I never seen anything that

194
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.399
following that year. But the year the next following year,

195
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.399
I found an orange. There is wild oranges throughout the

196
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:48.039
woods in this area. I found a wild ripened orange

197
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.240
on the seat of my tree stand a year later.

198
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:53.480
Wow.

199
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:59.200
Yes, And then and so I continue to you know,

200
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.720
I almost got a funny feeling in this area that

201
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.720
I was going, I don't want to go there too

202
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.559
much anymore because the hair stains up on my back

203
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.080
of my neck.

204
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.200
So well.

205
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.919
One and one of the times after that, I was

206
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.039
hunting in there and I heard this. It sounded like

207
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.080
a panther, a large like a tiger, growling like you

208
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.200
know you hear in the movies and everything. And I'm

209
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.600
thinking myself, why, you know, why is this panther making

210
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.879
that noise like that? You know, I mean, it's kind

211
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:29.879
of in the area, but I couldn't see what it was.

212
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.120
And right at dark I seen something tall. It looked

213
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.039
like a shadow. It was all black, and uh, it

214
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.039
was kind of hunched over, almost bent in half, but

215
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.759
it was walking on too leg on to it his

216
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:47.200
bipedal and it was walking through the woods. As I

217
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:53.559
was getting out of my trees, it moved and was

218
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.679
heading off deeper into the woods. Now was it making?

219
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.320
And it came from that area where I heard that

220
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.519
panther or that or that that lion sound or whatever

221
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.039
it was it was making. And I'm pretty positive it

222
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.559
was that skunk ape in there making no sounds because

223
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.519
I don't I don't think a panther. We do have

224
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.480
panthers around here, but I don't think it'd be hanging

225
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.440
out with a skunk cape or anything. But I'm thinking

226
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:17.679
maybe that skunk cape was, you know, making noises to

227
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:23.600
mimic a panther, maybe to scare me away. Yeah, And

228
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.919
so I continued over the years, and I did see

229
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.200
that bent over I think he was he was bent

230
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.440
over in half to kind of conceal himself. And just

231
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.879
as I was leaving one evening, and uh, it was

232
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.000
probably about a hundred yards off and I could barely

233
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.279
see him. The only way I really could see him

234
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.279
is I heard him. And then I looked through the

235
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.240
scope of my crossbow and I could see it moving

236
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.799
through the woods real fast, and it looked real shaggy

237
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:52.320
and uh and other than that, I really have. And

238
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.360
after that, I killed a wild pig and I put

239
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.320
it out as bait, and I put a trail camera

240
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.879
on top of it. He didn't mess with it. He

241
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.960
liked my oranges. He didn't like the wild pig I

242
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.159
left for him. He didn't mess with it, I guess

243
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.000
because he maybe he knew there was a camera there.

244
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:14.320
But and then a couple of times the years after that,

245
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.879
something followed me out. One time I shot a deer

246
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:19.519
and I was dragging it out, and I could hear

247
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.759
it something was following me out about two three hundred

248
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.240
yards of this drag, this horrible drag that I had

249
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.200
all by myself, dragging this nine point through the woods

250
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.600
about killed myself. But I could hear about seventy five

251
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.559
yards off that something was walking in the woods, following

252
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.360
my every the same path that I took all the

253
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.200
way out to the hard road that where my truck was.

254
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.559
I don't feel as though this thing was threatening me.

255
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.960
I think it was just trying to scare me, but

256
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.840
the orange thing kind of tripped me out. And then

257
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.120
I found a snake one time, tied in a knot

258
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:59.799
or tied in one. It was a far to Kingsnakes

259
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.679
and had tied it in a knot and hung it

260
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.000
in a tree in the trail that I was coming by.

261
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.320
So I don't know. I never really felt this thing

262
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.120
would hurt me, but I think it was just warning

263
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:13.639
me off and kind of keeping me out of that area.

264
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.720
But over the years, all these clues that the park

265
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.559
ranger want, and you know, talking to the park rangers daughter,

266
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.039
she told me that when there were kids, that this

267
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.799
thing would stand on the edge of the woods. There's

268
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.039
a playground at the park, and that this thing would

269
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.399
watch them, watch the girls play on the on the playground,

270
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.679
and that's what initiated her dad to get this video

271
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.600
camera back in the day to try to record this

272
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:46.000
thing and catch it. They never could. But other than that,

273
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.519
I haven't seen any signs of it in the last

274
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.840
four or five years, but there are reports now and

275
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.159
again in this area where I live. I kind of

276
00:16:54.159 --> 00:17:00.279
live in between Saint Augustine, Florida and Daytona, but keep

277
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.080
my ears open for it. But there's a you know,

278
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.799
a section of woods that follow a Saint John's River

279
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.039
and some waterways in here, and my opinion, I think

280
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:13.599
they travel along the waterways and uh and and this

281
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.240
follows right along the waterway where I've been hunting and

282
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.839
uh and that'sing around for years. So uh, I'd love

283
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.880
to get a picture of it. I've had trail cameras

284
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.319
in there. I never got a picture on it with

285
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.240
trail camera. But the the orange thing, the missing deer,

286
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.200
the snake tied in a knot, you know, nothing else

287
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.359
is going to do that. Nothing, nothing's going to put

288
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.920
an orange on Todd the seat of my tree stand

289
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.680
a year after leaving a bag of them out there.

290
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.559
You know, maybe that bag of oranges kind of sues

291
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.440
things over and he knew it was me, and you

292
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.039
know I brought it to him as a gift, I guess.

293
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.559
But that's pretty much my story.

294
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.960
And man, than you for sharing that.

295
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.759
Yeah, sorry to a real go ahead.

296
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.960
Can you share any any location or date info?

297
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:09.880
Yes, it's Flagler County and this was Flagler County. It's

298
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.559
like I said, it's in between Daytona and Saint Augustine,

299
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.759
Florida on the east coast north northeast central Florida. And

300
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.200
the particular state park that I'm talking about is Bulau

301
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.200
State Park and the park ranger that was there for years.

302
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.559
I won't mention his name, but he was. He was

303
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.880
on site and lived in a trailer there with his

304
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.400
girls and his family for years and his daughters. I

305
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:39.240
would love to get sit down with them and get

306
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:43.000
a write down something, but I've talked to her many

307
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.119
times and she talks like it like it's no big deal,

308
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.359
like this is something that they've seen all the time.

309
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.519
So maybe one day I'll get to do that and

310
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.960
I'll give you a shout back and see what she says.

311
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.119
But she said it was a pretty regular thing in

312
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.519
the evenings for that thing to watch the kids on

313
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:00.319
the player.

314
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:05.680
So that's wild? Is this? I just want to Okay,

315
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.519
Bulow Greek State Park? Is that it?

316
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.039
Okay?

317
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.480
Got it?

318
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.599
It's a lot of large section of woods through there,

319
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.880
large that follows a fresh water waterways and stuff. So

320
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.759
like I said, I believe they've been the travel between

321
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.759
those along the waterways and they've been doing it for

322
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:22.480
a long time.

323
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:27.880
So that's fantastic. Thank you so much for giving that

324
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.680
information what you experienced. I appreciate you coming up. Chris.

325
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.200
Thank you man.

326
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.519
I'm a big fan of yours.

327
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.240
Thank you for listening. Have a good one. Hey, Sarah,

328
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:35.599
how are you.

329
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.119
I'm good. How are you? Can you hear me?

330
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.000
Yes, I can hear you. Thank you for coming up.

331
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.720
Yeah, it's not necessarily me, but they've been.

332
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.200
Two of them are from my father and ones from

333
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.359
my grandpa.

334
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:50.000
Just a premises.

335
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:55.279
I live in northeast Oregon, so up here in the

336
00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:02.119
Pacific northwest. This I'll talk about the my family's ranch.

337
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.359
We run cows and so they are a big indicator

338
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.960
of stuff that's going on. But essentially the area would

339
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.279
be the Minum State Park Recreation area is around where

340
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.400
our house is at, very close to the Washington and

341
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.039
Idaho border. This was probably I think it happened in

342
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.440
twenty twenty one in the spring, and it was late

343
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.880
in the afternoon, and my dad told me that he

344
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.160
was walking down to my grandma's house, which is probably

345
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:33.359
like twenty yards from our place.

346
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:34.279
And.

347
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.880
He hears the most.

348
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.759
Guttural scream roar come out from the timber. We live

349
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.279
in the woods, you know, and there's clearing where we

350
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.799
have our farm ground and stuff for our cows.

351
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:54.400
But down in the trees he heard this extremely loud roar.

352
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.720
And you know, he grew up hunting, he grew up

353
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:58.119
in the woods. We all have, and.

354
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.240
We've heard bear, we've heard what cats or mountain lions

355
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.440
sound like. And he said that this was like something

356
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:10.119
he's never heard before. And at the same time, my

357
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.279
mom all the dogs were out there was we have

358
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:17.039
five working dogs, border collies. They all came screaming under

359
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.559
the porch trying to get inside. You know, there was

360
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:22.720
a herd of deer down by one of our stackyards

361
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.640
where we have our hay that completely took off out

362
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.519
past our house. Everything was running from that location. You know,

363
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:31.880
It's not like anything he's ever heard before.

364
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.160
And then when he was.

365
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:38.440
Walking back up to the house, probably thirty minutes later,

366
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.039
back to our place, he heard it again, the same

367
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:49.240
extremely loud, weird, screechy roar. So that was the first

368
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:54.680
instance my dad told me about. And then probably twenty

369
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.960
years ago, this would be in the exact same area,

370
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.400
that same stretch of remember where Dad heard the scream

371
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.839
come from probably there's a clearing that sits just to

372
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.519
the west of it where we have one of our

373
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.559
pastures for our cows. My dad was out doing something,

374
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:14.960
building fence or something, and again it was later in

375
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.799
the afternoon, and he saw something walking on its hind legs,

376
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.400
and I mean he said it looked like a bear,

377
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.920
but because it was dark and it was tall, and

378
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.160
it was black, shaggy looking, but it.

379
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.160
Walked all the way.

380
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.519
He saw it walk from the stretch of timber all

381
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.720
the way probably four hundred yards to another's patch of

382
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:44.759
timber and then go back in, you know. So those

383
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.319
are the two times my dad has had something happen,

384
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.319
you know, whether he visual or the audio, and.

385
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.519
Both times it you know, made the hair stand up

386
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:57.359
on the back of his neck.

387
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.839
And then third encounter that has been passed down in

388
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.480
our family was something that happened with my grandpa. And

389
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.359
this would probably be fifteen miles from where my house

390
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.200
is at, in the same area around Palmer Junction around Oregon.

391
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.640
And he had a tree stand.

392
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.200
So this was in the fall, probably in the eighties,

393
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:28.279
and my grandpa was up in his tree stand and

394
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:35.519
he smelt something horrendous, foul stinky smell, and he has

395
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.359
grown up in the woods, knows what everything smells like,

396
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.839
knows what a cat smells like, bears, etc. And it

397
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.319
made the hair stand up on the back of his

398
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:48.279
neck too, and he just got this internal got feeling

399
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.559
like something was telling him to leave, you know, and

400
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:54.160
so he took that as a sign. He never saw anything,

401
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.920
but the scent. It stayed with him, and he felt

402
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.920
like somebody was following him of the woods until he

403
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.559
got back to his pickup to leave. So those are

404
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.960
the three instances we have.

405
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.279
I don't know. My dad's a pretty literal guy, you know.

406
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.599
He doesn't believe in the crazy or the weird or

407
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.799
he's not a conspiracy theorist. But he knows what he

408
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.519
heard and he knows what he saw, and those two

409
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.440
different times, and it wasn't like anything he's ever heard

410
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.359
or saw before.

411
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.720
So those are those are great stories. Thank you for Sharon.

412
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:35.200
And I've never actually looked into this area that you're

413
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:38.880
talking about. I mean, I noticed though that the river connects.

414
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:43.640
You could go from Wallawah Whitman National Forest up to

415
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:48.000
where Freeman had his stuff happen, So it's kind of

416
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.319
like a midpoint which is really cool.

417
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.480
Yeah, there's I mean, there's a lot of stories, especially

418
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.039
like look into Mount Emily, like the Mount Emily, the

419
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.480
Yu Mattelan National Forest.

420
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.759
My brother's girlfriend.

421
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.400
I don't necessarily remember everything she's told me, but they

422
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.400
used to go writing snowmobiles up there a lot, and

423
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.519
she's had some weird stuff happen, you know, with the

424
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:16.599
smells and the feeling of like something's telling them to leave.

425
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:19.839
There's a lot of stories up there about that particular

426
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:21.240
area for sure.

427
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.400
Wow, Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing.

428
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.519
I don't get a lot about this area of Oregon.

429
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.599
It's more over by the Cascades, but this is awesome.

430
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:32.279
Thank you so much.

431
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.039
Yeah, you're welcome.

432
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:34.720
Hi.

433
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.319
How are you? Can you hear me? Yes, I can

434
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.440
hear you. How are you doing okay?

435
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:40.880
How are you honey?

436
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.799
Hey? Doing good?

437
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.480
I was eighteen years old and this is in Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania,

438
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:50.559
And this is many years ago. It was nineteen eighty four,

439
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.359
nineteen eighty five, and I was walking on this road.

440
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:55.880
It was called Wayne Road. It's a beautiful, sunshiny day.

441
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.200
It's a Saturday afternoon, like one o'clock in the afternoon

442
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.480
and at the time it's it's it was just covered

443
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.640
in trees. It's not so much today. And I'm walking

444
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.759
by myself and I hear something crunching on my left

445
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.039
and I'm eighteen, only weighed like eighty six pounds. I

446
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:13.039
was a little tiny thing. And now I'm scared, and

447
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.200
I'm like, okay. So I kept walking and I would

448
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:17.720
walk and then I would kind of like pick up

449
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.680
my pace. It would track my pace. So I have

450
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.400
a little timey boot knife. I pull it out and

451
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.880
I'm like gonna, I don't know, stab the thing or whatever,

452
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:26.599
because I didn't.

453
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.000
Know what it was.

454
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.559
So now I get Now it's starting to like make

455
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.079
all this sounds like I don't know is dude? No

456
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.279
one believed me, okay, and I don't believe you don't

457
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.160
believe me, but I'll swear to God, I'm fifty eight

458
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.920
years old to this day, it still haunts me. So

459
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.839
I take off running down the road. This thing is

460
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.839
thrash and smash, and then the woods are really thick,

461
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.039
so I can't even see what I'm looking at. And

462
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:47.720
then about I don't even want to say. If it's

463
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.319
a quarter a mile I ran, I'm not even sure.

464
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:51.240
And then there was like a clearing where there was

465
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.960
like a like a chain that you know, kept people

466
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.240
driving up this one dirt road, and it took it

467
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.880
ran past me and all I could see it had

468
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.240
been eight foot tall, I don't know, and it was

469
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.039
white and it was like it looked like it was dirty.

470
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:09.559
And no one ever talks about seeing a white bigfoot.

471
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:11.440
And so I come home and I tell my family

472
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.799
and they're all looking at me, like, what are you nuts.

473
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.440
I'm like, you're not going to believe this. So it

474
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:20.759
was like five years ago on Ancient Aliens, one of

475
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:24.119
the shows that they had their history dot com and

476
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:27.319
they had they were talking about this white bigfoot and

477
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.519
they call it sheep Squatch and I'm like, and I

478
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:32.319
looked at my husband. I go, there's that thing I

479
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.680
was telling you about. So there is white bigfoots Now.

480
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.799
It was probably a year ago. Talking to my girlfriend

481
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:41.079
and I was telling her the story and she says,

482
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:43.119
and she lives on Wayne Road, and so did her

483
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:46.000
father at the time. And he said, she goes, what

484
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:47.799
year was that. I said, I don't know, eighty four

485
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.400
eighty five. She goes, my dad saw that. And I

486
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.200
guess by the garbage Kansas thing was trying to dink

487
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.039
for her, you know, the father's garbage. And I'm like,

488
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.039
I said, I am so glad that someone else has

489
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.920
seen it. And then other people only as of recently

490
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.519
are coming out saying that they saw this white bigfoot

491
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.200
in the Pennsylvania area and apparently it travels into New York.

492
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:11.799
And I guess they're the really aggressive type, you know,

493
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.279
like they'll stalk you. And dude, I got to tell

494
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.119
you that was one of the most terrifying things to

495
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.160
this day I have ever experienced it.

496
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.279
I don't know.

497
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.599
I just had to tell you wild no one you

498
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:26.960
know what I mean at the time, like nobody, you know,

499
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.880
what's thirty forty years ago, ever heard of such a thing.

500
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.400
And then oh yeah, bigfoot and now he's white. So

501
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.680
I don't know, have you ever heard of a white bigfoot?

502
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:38.319
Oh? Yeah, absolutely. I mean it's not super popular, but

503
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:40.279
or you don't. I don't see a lot of them.

504
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:44.680
But there's actually a really famous one I want to see, say,

505
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.640
in the early two thousands in Carbondale, which is just

506
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.359
north of northeast of Screanton and PA. You can knock

507
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.680
that one up. There's actually a video of that one.

508
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.480
Far from there, like two hours from that.

509
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:02.160
Yeah, oh yeah, totally. And then Alabama is pretty famous

510
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.599
for having a white bigfoot in the northeast part of

511
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.880
the state. It's called Alabama White Thing, So and check

512
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.319
that out. That's a fun one. But yeah, not a

513
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:16.039
lot of white bigfoots reported, definitely, So that's kind of

514
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.640
a rare thing that you got to experience. That's pretty cool.

515
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.079
Thank you, well.

516
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.920
I appreciate you letting me air that because for years

517
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.240
I've been sitting on a secret thinking everything, he's gonna

518
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.440
you know, you're nuts. But I'll tell you right now,

519
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:29.559
swear to God, no reason to fib or live on

520
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.000
any of that end. When I saw it, I mean

521
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.519
I didn't see its face because it was just it

522
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:37.279
was running and then it ran up into the woods

523
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.119
and it was you could tell it was white, furbocks

524
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:42.960
kind of dirty. And I'm just excited to like to

525
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.079
tell you because it's like nobody wants.

526
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.559
To hear this, No, I'd love to hear it. So

527
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.519
thank you for coming up and for sharing about it.

528
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.880
Thank you well, thank you very much for having me up.

529
00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:04.079
Enjoy your day, you too, Johnny how are you hey?

530
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.720
How are you hate doing good?

531
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:12.400
So it was back in the eighties Falk, Arkansas.

532
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:16.880
I don't know if you're familiar with Foul. Yeah, oh yeah.

533
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:20.440
So they have this legend over there. They actually made

534
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.000
a movie called Legend of the Boggy Creek.

535
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.279
You ever heard of that?

536
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.319
Oh yeah, yeah. So I'm from Texarkana.

537
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:34.839
Texa Arcana is right there beside Falk, And I was

538
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:36.559
very young back then.

539
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:37.039
I was.

540
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.880
I don't know, I was.

541
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:43.799
Twenty twenty one or something like.

542
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:47.680
That, and I decided to, you know, venture out on

543
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:53.000
my own as a youngster and got a I rented

544
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:59.920
a mobile home that was right there on Boggie Creek.

545
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.079
There's actually a Boggy Creek, you know, I mean really examtly,

546
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.720
And so I was on Boggie Creek. I was there

547
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.440
the first night. They didn't have the electricity turned on.

548
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:13.519
They were supposed to get it turned on the next day,

549
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.240
and so I was in the mobile home with that

550
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:23.240
electricity that first night on Boggie Creek. I mean the

551
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.240
imagine the mobile home being right there where you could

552
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:32.200
step outside of the front door and walk I don't know,

553
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.319
twenty feet and thirty feet and you're gonna there's Boggie Creek.

554
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.759
And that first night I was I had already I

555
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.400
was already aware of the legend, you know, I mean,

556
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:52.440
about the monster. But that night I went to bed.

557
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.880
It was cold. It was in the winter, and so

558
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.240
I was covered up really good, and I was cold.

559
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.839
There was no heat, there was no electric. All of

560
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:07.559
a sudden, I hear this loud, you know cry. I mean,

561
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.720
it was not a cry, it was it was more

562
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:14.160
of a yell, you know, like a I don't even

563
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.319
know how to explain it. I mean, to me, it

564
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.960
sounded like, you know, it would be like a like

565
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:25.359
a bigfoot or a monster, a Boggy Creek monster. And

566
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.359
the next day, I loaded what I had put into

567
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.359
the mobile home and.

568
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:35.680
I moved out. I was not going to live down there, man.

569
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.680
And I know, I know, they say it's a legend,

570
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.480
and you know, it's just this and this and that,

571
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.119
and they have different stories about it. But the fact

572
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:55.440
that I was there and I actually heard that, I actually,

573
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.000
I mean, I really do believe that there's I don't

574
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.759
don't know if there's still something down there, but there

575
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:04.000
was something.

576
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:06.359
There was something in those woods.

577
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:06.640
Man.

578
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.599
Oh, I mean, I would say there's definitely still activity

579
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.519
down there. What year was that again, that was like.

580
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.160
In the eighties, like eighty five, eighty six, eighty seven,

581
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:25.319
eighty five, maybe eighty six, eighty six, maybe eighty seven.

582
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:34.400
Wow, that is awesome. Oh my goodness, that's awesome. Good stuff,

583
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.519
good stuff. How did that affect you afterwards?

584
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.599
Well, I mean, I've always kind of been the kind

585
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.640
of guy that believes in some of these things. You know,

586
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:47.119
although a lot of people are thinking, as it's not true,

587
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.799
but the legend of Boggy Creek, if you go back

588
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.279
and look at the movie, there are people that were

589
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.160
actually affected by it. There are actual testimonies of real people.

590
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:01.079
It was based on a real story, wasn't. It wasn't

591
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.440
some sort of fictional story. So it's based on real

592
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.759
people that had interaction. Like if you watch the movie,

593
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:11.519
you'll see actually there's a there's a scene in the

594
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:15.719
movie where somebody and I'm not trying to get you know, tacky,

595
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:21.159
but there was somebody sitting on their toilet and something

596
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:26.119
reached through the window of the bathroom and tried to

597
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:26.920
grab them.

598
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.360
And if you watch the movie, you'll see that.

599
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:32.079
And that was based on a real event.

600
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:33.960
I mean that actually happened.

601
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.960
It wasn't It wasn't.

602
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.960
A human being that reached through the window.

603
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:43.239
And so there's there's a there's actual I think it

604
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:48.000
was Charles B. Pearce that produced that movie. He also

605
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:52.920
produced that movie in Texta Canada that you might be

606
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:59.440
familiar with. That's called The Town That Dreaded Sundown, and

607
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:03.440
so it's about the Phantom you know, that the killer,

608
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:06.000
the Phantom killer that was out there back in the

609
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.519
what was it the thirties, forties something like that in Texas, Cana.

610
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:11.639
And so that was real stuff.

611
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:15.199
I mean, he based his movies off of actual events,

612
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.079
and so you know, these things really happened to people,

613
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.400
and so it affected me in the sense, to answer

614
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:26.760
your question, That's why I got out of there the

615
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.480
next day, because I'm not the kind of guy that

616
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.119
thinks this stuff is mythical.

617
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.199
I mean, I believe.

618
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:36.159
It's real and absolutely.

619
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.000
Maybe maybe people think I'm crazy for thinking that, but

620
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:43.599
I really do believe that there was I don't know

621
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.519
if there is now it's twenty twenty six, you know,

622
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.519
I don't know how long something like that could live

623
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:54.039
or exist out there. And then there was this story too,

624
00:35:54.079 --> 00:36:02.119
by the way. That kind of ties into that. And

625
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:04.039
I don't know how true this is. I'd have to

626
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.440
research it. But years and years and years and years

627
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:07.920
and years.

628
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:09.760
Ago before I was even born, in sixties.

629
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:12.519
I was born in the sixties, so years and years

630
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:17.280
and years before I was born. Apparently there was a train,

631
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.000
because we have a lot of railroads.

632
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:20.480
Going through that area.

633
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:26.000
There was a train that derailed and it had some

634
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:32.519
circus animals on it, and so one of them was.

635
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.360
An ape.

636
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:42.679
Now, if you know, I don't know that this Boggy

637
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:47.559
Creek monster is an ape because what I heard didn't

638
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.280
sound like an ape, you know, I heard apes. It

639
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:59.679
sounded more like an anomaly. But you know, they have

640
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:03.280
they have said that too, that maybe there's something out

641
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.639
there that survived from that tray and de rollment and

642
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.679
you know, and and maybe that was still out there,

643
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:14.639
but this thing actually attacked people, and.

644
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.800
Oh yeah, yeah, it's a it's a wild, wild story.

645
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.719
Everyone should watch that movie if they haven't yet, I

646
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:22.039
think you can find it on YouTube.

647
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.800
Now, would you would you compare that to Bigfoot? Would

648
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.719
that be the same thing or would that be something?

649
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.360
I mean, in my mind, is the same thing. Yeah,

650
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:33.039
and I think most of the community is gonna is

651
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:35.199
going to agree with me that it is. It's just

652
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:43.559
a regional name for Bigfoot. So yeah, but uh, that's

653
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.880
a great story and very cool that you're able to

654
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:48.719
be kind of part of things for a little bit

655
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:51.400
in a way. But thank you for coming up, Johnny

656
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.599
and sharing. I appreciate it. Thank you for having me.

657
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.079
Hey there, how are you what's going on? Man?

658
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:57.719
Hey?

659
00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:58.440
Not much?

660
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.599
So I got a question for you. The class A

661
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.519
is when you see one, right, Yes, Class B would be.

662
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:08.320
A vocal you hear it? Is there a C?

663
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.760
I want to say class C is second hand, but

664
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.480
let me look it up real quick because it's BFRORO classification.

665
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.519
I should know this, but I'm only like ninety percent. Okay,

666
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.119
So class A is visual. Class B is observed at

667
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.519
a great distance or poor lighting or you hear it.

668
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.440
Okay, So.

669
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:35.599
Nothing too crazy. But I wanted to give you locations

670
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:36.199
on this is that?

671
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:37.400
Okay?

672
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:47.880
So this is at a Pennsylvania okay, and Southwest Pennsylvania. Nice.

673
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:55.480
So there's as a reservoir in southwest Pennsylvania and there's

674
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:58.960
a I heard a lot of stories coming out of there.

675
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.679
But a buddy of mine a fish down there for years,

676
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:11.880
and one night we were sitting there. He had fallen

677
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.599
asleep and I was sitting there by myself when I

678
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:15.480
heard this thing.

679
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:26.119
Creeping through the woods towards us by petally. And it's weird.

680
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.079
To hear that, you know what I mean, You know,

681
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:34.280
midnight one in the morning, you know those woodsmen know,

682
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:39.599
and you get a deer walking around, or a raccoon

683
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.559
or possums stuff like this, it makes a different sound.

684
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.679
So listening to this thing walk through the woods and

685
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:56.239
you can hear it step step step, And it didn't

686
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:58.639
pay much attention to it because I wasn't.

687
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.159
I had the big foot at the time.

688
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.920
But as it drew closer, it stepped on a large

689
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.599
branch and when it snapped, I knew that it was

690
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:14.360
you know, all right, this is something heavy and it's

691
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.400
it's coming towards us.

692
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:19.239
So he's laying there sleeping.

693
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.119
So to paint the picture for you, I'm right next

694
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.760
to the lake and there's a fire maybe six feet

695
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.239
from me, and this thing is up on a ridge

696
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.440
maybe eighty feet from me. So as it keeps coming

697
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.119
in the closer it gets, the more attention that I'm

698
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:44.920
paying to it. So it eventually gets to the point

699
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:49.800
where it's between I'm at the lake, the fire is

700
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.679
in between us, and it's dead ahead. To mean, it

701
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:57.119
stops and it just stands there. I can't see it

702
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.920
because I had one of those real weak This was.

703
00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:04.280
How long you go out of this.

704
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:08.760
It was before they came out with like the real

705
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:16.920
powerful like small flashlights. But after that I became obsessed

706
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.639
with flashlights because that had a real cheap, like twenty

707
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.079
dollars Walmart headlamp that you can only see like maybe

708
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:27.440
ten yards with it the most. But at this point,

709
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.800
my heels are in the lake because this thing I

710
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.920
know is standing there staring at me, and I I

711
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:39.519
am you know, I'm not armed or anything. So if

712
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:42.840
this thing comes out, my best option is to turntail

713
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.280
and dive into the lake because there's nothing I can do.

714
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:51.679
But it stands there staring at me. I can't see it.

715
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:55.760
Mind, you never vocalizes.

716
00:41:56.639 --> 00:41:59.400
Maybe ten seconds, that stands there and it moves off

717
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.119
at the same it walked in.

718
00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:04.480
What's weird about.

719
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:08.760
It is the confidence that it has. It wasn't being

720
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.840
trying to be quiet, and it wasn't being super loud

721
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:16.800
or aggressive. So I put that out of my mind

722
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:24.400
and I don't fish there anymore. Another time, I'm in

723
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:36.320
Warren County, Pennsylvania, Sugar Grove area, midday. I think this

724
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:42.719
is in the fall also, and I hear something walking

725
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:46.119
through the woods. We have a deer camp up there,

726
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:49.880
and we have a bunch of property, So to describe

727
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:55.119
it a little bit, there's like a house like near

728
00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:57.000
the road is kind of where I'm at, and then

729
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.320
you have like a eighty foot flat air and then

730
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:03.320
it knuckles over down into the valley where the tree

731
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:06.639
line in the woods are. So I'm standing near that

732
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:10.119
knuckle when I hear this thing walking down under the

733
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:16.280
knuckle where I can't see it. And I've only heard

734
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.719
this from one other person. I've listened to a lot

735
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:24.519
of different big foot podcasts. But it was making this

736
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:31.280
slapping noise, like if you were to take your bare hand,

737
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.679
and not skin on skin, but like if you were

738
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.519
wearing like a pair of jeans or something, you were

739
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:41.280
to slap your thigh or something. It did that three

740
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:46.320
or four times, whilst rustling the bushes and walking towards me.

741
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:52.320
Now there's nothing but woods down here, and I think

742
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.480
This was a couple of minutes after having you know,

743
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:57.679
you know, firing guns.

744
00:43:57.320 --> 00:43:58.079
And stuff like.

745
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:02.119
There should be nobody down there. It's just miles and

746
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:08.320
miles of woods there. So I hear it walking in.

747
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:12.199
It's rustling the brushes and it's making this slapping noise,

748
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.480
and I know, and there's this is the weird thing

749
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.639
when these things are around. This is this weird feeling

750
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:20.440
kind of.

751
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:20.960
Comes over it.

752
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.639
And I didn't I knew that it was. It's close

753
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.639
to me, it's like probably sixty feet, but I know

754
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.239
that if I walk over that knuckle and look down,

755
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:36.360
I'm going to see this thing standing there, and I'm

756
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.559
not ready for it. So this is the second time

757
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:43.760
this has happened, so I'm thinking, you know, sasquatch. At

758
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.840
this point, I walk up to my buddy's truck and

759
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.960
I grab a handgun out of the underneath the seat,

760
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:56.239
and I come back and I finally get the tonys

761
00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:03.280
to look over that knuckle. There's nothing there, man, And

762
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.199
that the lake.

763
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:06.079
I told you about earlier.

764
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.880
There's four or five different accounts I've heard of people

765
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:14.199
getting chased out of there. And my one of my

766
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:18.719
best friends had heard vocals down there a couple of times,

767
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:26.360
and he did in any interview with a.

768
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:26.119
Researcher at one point.

769
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:29.360
But what's the lake.

770
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:35.760
It's Beaver Run reservoir. It's private property.

771
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:40.639
You're not technically allowed to be in there. So that's

772
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:42.920
it's really good fishing out. You've got to kind of

773
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:47.880
sneak in there to I don't condemn doing it, but

774
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.519
it's a real hot spot. And I think, and I

775
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:58.920
want to ask your opinion about this, Okay, they only

776
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:03.599
seem to be there during fall, so yeah, I think

777
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:07.079
they moved through there to get to somewhere else and

778
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:14.639
they're only there for about a month maybe, Yeah, so

779
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.000
where they're going to, where they're coming from, But they're

780
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:18.159
not there all year long.

781
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:20.880
And I think it's the same up north. They're not

782
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:21.800
there in the winter time.

783
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:28.440
A lot of people report that October is one of

784
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:35.280
the the more active months for some reason or another.

785
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:40.719
A lot of pretty high activity reports are in October.

786
00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:45.159
That's all over the US, so kind of interesting. They

787
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.239
might be moving through to get to a different area.

788
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.679
I mean, you'd have to look at a sighting map

789
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:51.000
that would have dates.

790
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.519
And well, that's why I figured out tell you about this,

791
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:56.880
because I assume you do.

792
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:59.280
Do you track this stuff out on a map?

793
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:03.880
Yeah, I so my podcast website is big for Society

794
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:06.360
podcast dot com. And then I have a sighting map

795
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:09.239
on there and I keep track of like everyone I

796
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.039
talk to, and it's I mean, you should see all

797
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:15.559
the ones in Pennsylvania. Blow you away. There's tons of

798
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.599
tons of sightings, especially in that area southwest of course.

799
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.440
But well, I would assume that if like.

800
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.079
Skunk apes, I assume they're not moving around as much,

801
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.159
you know what I mean, it's just because of hunting

802
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:34.360
season and the weather.

803
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:40.280
Could be, could be. But hey, I appreciate you. Appreciate

804
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:42.719
you coming up and share. I mean, that's a new

805
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:47.320
spot for that. So yeah, we'll definitely put that on there.

806
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:48.880
Thank you. Yeah, sir.

807
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:50.800
And I know there's a lot of stuff that comes

808
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.880
out of Alleghany National Force, so that Warren County is

809
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.199
only like forty five minutes from there.

810
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:03.119
Awesome, Okay, very good, thank you, Yes sir. All right, Garrett,

811
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.480
I am giving you a request to see if you

812
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:09.159
want to come up because Oakridge is my most favorite

813
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.400
place in the world. Howdy, Hey, Garrett, Garrett, how's it going?

814
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:13.599
Man?

815
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:13.960
Good?

816
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:18.440
Good? So we're talking about Wolf over on the way

817
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:24.079
to Odell, Like, uh no, I mean kind of.

818
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:29.000
Wolf Mountain if you go down the twenty three road

819
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:30.679
down Hills Creek Reservoir.

820
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.039
Oh yeah, there's.

821
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.280
Like Bear Mountain, Wolf Mountain, Cougar Mountain.

822
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:37.519
Okay, string.

823
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.840
I was up towards the top of Wolf Mountain bear hunting,

824
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.760
and and I.

825
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:49.960
Seen what I thought was a bear black.

826
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.159
And it was kind of just in between the trees,

827
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:59.679
you know, and then it kind of went behind a tree.

828
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:01.400
And I was by that time, since I had a

829
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.639
tag and it was season, I was like ready, and

830
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:10.920
it was probably seven hundred yards away, maybe down in

831
00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:14.360
the bottom of a like a valley kind of thing,

832
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:21.920
and it and then I caught a glimpse of it

833
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:26.880
through two trees and it was crazy, just walking in

834
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:28.760
between two trees like a person.

835
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.440
So was it crazy in that it was walking on

836
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.639
two legs or what was it specifically that really made

837
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:41.360
you take notice?

838
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:41.679
What?

839
00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:42.519
Well?

840
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.880
I thought originally it was a bear because sometimes they

841
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:49.960
kind of they get injured and they walk around on

842
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:50.559
two legs.

843
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:52.280
But the.

844
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.679
And I've never been a bigfoot believer, but it didn't

845
00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:02.000
have a snout, but it I had like a like

846
00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:07.920
a defined like I don't know what you'd call it,

847
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:13.440
like the eyebrow muscle, right, eyebrow ridge thing. Yeah, that

848
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:18.480
was defined. It had smaller eyes. It was black with

849
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:23.440
a gray face, and there was minimal hair on the face.

850
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:24.639
And I was like, that's not a bear?

851
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:25.199
What is that?

852
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:31.400
Right? Exactly? Oh my goodness. How close were you to

853
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:31.800
this guy?

854
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.400
Again? Maybe six or seven hundred yards? But I was

855
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.639
looking through a high powered rifle scope.

856
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:41.079
Yeah, I got you?

857
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:41.840
Gotcha?

858
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:46.159
Oh wow? How long do you think you had eyes

859
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:46.599
on it for?

860
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:47.639
Oh?

861
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.000
I knew there was I could.

862
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.599
I mean I could see it for maybe a minute,

863
00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:01.199
but when it just walked in between two trees, it

864
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.360
was like maybe three seconds, five seconds maybe something like that.

865
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:15.000
Gotcha. So you saw the eyes specifically, could you notice

866
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.599
color or if there were whites to the eyes at

867
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:18.639
all or anything like that.

868
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.599
I didn't see any whites of the eyes, but it

869
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:24.199
was definitely a darker brown or a black.

870
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:31.880
Okay, gotcha? And did you say it was it was

871
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.320
like a black color to the hair.

872
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:39.960
Yeah, it was like a blackish brown, and in the

873
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.760
sunlight it kind of looked a little red. It was like, okay,

874
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:47.400
like rusty almost.

875
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:52.480
Gotcha. And what was the height that you would estimate

876
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:53.119
on that again?

877
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:59.559
Oh, maybe maybe seven seven seven and a half feet?

878
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.199
Got you? So you saw it in between the trees

879
00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.599
and then did it just keep walking?

880
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:13.000
It just kept just kept moving. And it was one

881
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:14.960
of those things where me and my wife both seen

882
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.199
it because she was looking through binoculars and we both

883
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:20.960
kind of just looked at each other and was like,

884
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:26.360
we need to get out a year. But okay, so

885
00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:29.679
this is extremely cool. So you've had two people at

886
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:31.599
the same time having eyes on it.

887
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:37.960
That's really cool. My goodness. What year was this again?

888
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:44.400
This was twenty twenty three, not that long ago.

889
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.440
So after you both had this sighting it keeps walking,

890
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:53.440
then what do you guys do?

891
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:59.000
We both we both kind of got out of there

892
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:05.039
in a hurry. We kind of slowly backed out of

893
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.639
there and back to the truck and went home and

894
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:11.199
just know we never talked about it again. Is one

895
00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:12.880
of those crazy things that.

896
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:21.280
My goodness, that is some wild wild stuff. Have you

897
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.920
heard of any other? Well, first off, have you been

898
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:27.039
back to that area ever since then? I have?

899
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:33.119
I actually hiked down there last year looking for any

900
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:37.639
kind of hair or footprints or something like that, and

901
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:41.880
I never ended up seeing anything, but gotcha.

902
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:47.159
Gotcha, gotcha. Have you heard of any other Bigfoot stories

903
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:48.239
from around Oakridge?

904
00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:53.480
Yeah, my wife's father, my father in law, he's had

905
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:57.920
a couple sightings around the Hills Creek area.

906
00:53:59.679 --> 00:53:59.920
Yep.

907
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:04.599
But he's he yeah, quite a few. Yeah, he's he's

908
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.599
used to be a big bow hunter and he's seen

909
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:14.800
he claims he's seen one closer than thirty yards just

910
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:16.440
kind of peek at him from behind a tree.

911
00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:18.159
Goodness, but.

912
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:21.719
Wow.

913
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:24.519
Yeah, I would love to talk talk to him if

914
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:26.159
you have, I mean, if you can pass on my

915
00:54:26.199 --> 00:54:30.079
email if you don't mis Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

916
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:34.239
I have interviewed about fifty people from Oakridge about their

917
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:38.760
Bigfoot encounters over the last two years for my podcast.

918
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.840
I go there for the festival they have every year

919
00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:47.840
for the Bigfoot Festival that town. I mean, as you know,

920
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:52.360
there's a big history when it comes to bigfoot. I

921
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:57.400
might recommend if you've never been there. There's actually you

922
00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:01.400
know where the DQ is in Oakridge? Yes, yeah, so

923
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:04.280
there's a place. It's called Area fifty eight. It's pretty

924
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:09.079
much like a Bigfoot museum, but also they take information

925
00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:12.360
from people that have had sightings. If you ever get

926
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.159
a chance, you might want to talk to them. They

927
00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:17.480
are local, they know all these places really good, and

928
00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:20.079
they have a lot of information about the area. So

929
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.760
I'd recommend it if if you get a minute, but

930
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:24.239
up to you.

931
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:26.320
Okay, awesome, thank you so much.

932
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:29.719
Cool. Hey, thanks for coming up, Garrett. I appreciate it.

933
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:30.400
Thanks for talking.

934
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:33.280
Of course, you have a wonderful rest of your day.

935
00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:35.119
I really appreciate you. Let me tell my story.

936
00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:39.559
You got it right, Okay, Hey, justin how's it going.

937
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:45.559
So the Lee High County, Pennsylvania area. Yeah, it's kind

938
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.880
of widespread out there. It's nothing. It's not like the city,

939
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.199
so to speak. And I go up on the Appalationian

940
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:56.360
Trails quite a bit up there, and I hike and

941
00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:59.039
off in the trails, or you can camp while you're

942
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:02.559
hiking up on the trail. I know what everything sounds like,

943
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.440
I know what everything goes and you know, deer bear

944
00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:11.599
all that stuff. And I didn't start having encounters until

945
00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:14.760
I would say, like my second going into the third

946
00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:19.880
night on the trail campaign, and all of a sudden,

947
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:23.800
everything went quiet, and I'm like, okay, you know, maybe

948
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:28.440
a storm was coming in, something abnormal, whatever, and didn't

949
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:31.880
think much about it. So the next day I got

950
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:34.639
up to see if anything kind of got ruffled around,

951
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:41.400
maybe a bear or something, and I noticed the tree branch,

952
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.800
I'm six foot toss to the tree branch was probably

953
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:49.880
another foot or two higher had been like snapped by

954
00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:52.760
like a by hand. It wasn't by like man or

955
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:57.840
but it was snapped off like saying, you know whatever,

956
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:05.599
saying I'm here. So I had moved up the trail

957
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:09.159
a little bit, and then I camped again. I go

958
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.440
up and down that trail camp I don't go up

959
00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:14.480
and down the whole entire Appleation trail, but I just

960
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:18.800
in that area. And so the next night I go

961
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.440
into the another spot camp out and I don't know

962
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:26.159
if it's the same one different one, but it had

963
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:29.360
moved in closer and I had. And as I was

964
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:31.880
camp moving up to the next campsite, which was probably

965
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:36.119
another couple of miles up the trail, I went to

966
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:38.360
get on my phone to take a picture. I noticed

967
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:41.199
something weird way off the trail, I say, probably about

968
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.960
five to ten yards in off the trail, and it

969
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:48.280
was some kind of like man made structure like you

970
00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:52.679
know you see on air, how you know bigfoots make

971
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:55.199
and stuff. So I went in to go take pictures

972
00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:57.440
of this, and you know, so people don't think I'm crazy.

973
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:02.199
And as I got closer, my phone had full percentage

974
00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:06.599
on battery, and because I don't keep it on during

975
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:08.960
the daytime or anything, so I tried to use my

976
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:12.679
phone sparingly. So I moved into this and all of

977
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.119
a sudden my phone camera had cut out. My phone

978
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:19.320
battery went from one hundred down to zero as I

979
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:22.079
went to go take a picture of the structure. So

980
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:26.719
later that night I went back went into my tent camping,

981
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:29.480
and all of a sudden, I'm starting to hear a

982
00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:33.239
tree knocks, So I grab what I can and I

983
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:36.760
start knocking back. I get three more knocks back, and

984
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:41.599
this time it's even closer. This thing had been probably

985
00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:43.880
if I can't see, I didn't see it very well.

986
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:47.320
It was very dark out there. It had been roughly

987
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:51.000
about eight to nine foot high and then heightwise and

988
00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:57.920
probably pushing about seven to eight hundred pounds. Goodness I

989
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:01.320
get when I go up in those trails. It's not

990
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:04.760
as frequent in the winter time or anything. But definitely

991
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:08.440
like early spring all the way down to late October,

992
00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:13.599
I get nothing but all sorts of activity up on

993
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:15.760
those trails.

994
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:23.079
Really yeah, oh wow, he said, Appalachian Trail if it.

995
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:26.440
Runs through that Lehigh Canty area, and the Athlete Trail

996
00:59:26.519 --> 00:59:29.119
does run up and down the whole eastern border of

997
00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:32.960
the States. But I only go up and down. And

998
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:35.440
I know that trail like the back of my hand.

999
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:38.159
I know what's in there. I know, you know, other

1000
00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:43.239
hikers and stuff, but other than that, I know exactly

1001
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.840
my surroundings very well in there and whatever is in there.

1002
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:50.079
And I didn't believe it. I've heard stories from other

1003
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:54.760
people about this, so it made me curious. And now

1004
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:58.440
you know, since then, i've it's what I've been what

1005
00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:02.320
my hunches has been Bigfoot, Like I said, I don't

1006
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:03.880
know if it's just one, I don't know, if it's

1007
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:06.360
a family, I don't know if it's multiple, you know,

1008
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.719
different groups of them in there, but you know they're

1009
01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:10.440
they're in there.

1010
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:18.239
There is a book by doctor Simeon Heine called Dark

1011
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:23.199
Battery Monsters, and it's about Bigfoot, but also the connection

1012
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.639
to things like why did your phone battery die? And

1013
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:30.960
I think it'd be very interesting for you to read

1014
01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:33.960
if you can get a copy of it okay on Amazon.

1015
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:37.159
I was gonna say because I've heard people report in

1016
01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:39.920
the past too that they had the same issues with

1017
01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:42.079
their phones or electronics, just all of a sudden, going

1018
01:00:42.119 --> 01:00:45.920
from zero down to nothing. And you know, I didn't

1019
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:48.360
think much about it then either. So it's just like,

1020
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:51.760
you know, the way the structure was made, you know,

1021
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.239
it was put very well together by something, right.

1022
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:01.119
Absolutely, Yeah, i'd be if you ever see a structure,

1023
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:04.119
I would not recommend to just kind of look at it,

1024
01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:05.920
don't don't mess around with it, you know.

1025
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:10.760
Yeah, I was trusting it, you know, for so I

1026
01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:13.320
would have physical proof. But when I tried, that's when

1027
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:15.320
I lost phone everything.

1028
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:20.000
Absolutely, justin Have you ever heard from any other hikers

1029
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:22.079
that they've had experiences in the same area.

1030
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:25.760
Yes, In fact, when I'm going up and down, there's

1031
01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:29.239
in that same area. Other hikers come from like out

1032
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:32.159
of the country, Canada and Mexico, all over the world

1033
01:01:32.159 --> 01:01:36.239
to hype that trail, and they've actually had come cross

1034
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:40.960
and they had told me some stories. They've actually were

1035
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:44.239
up in Upstate New York area on the Appalachian trail

1036
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:49.679
up there, and they were having h encounters with multiple

1037
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:53.480
groups they believe of bigfoot in the upstate New York

1038
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:57.719
region area. So I'm not sure if they're like staking

1039
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:02.159
to the like travel using that trail as like their

1040
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:05.960
you know, their main area to travel up and down

1041
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:07.599
the East coast.

1042
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:13.880
Absolutely well, justin thank you so much for coming up

1043
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:18.360
and sharing about the Lehigh County area of Pennsylvania. What

1044
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.000
you're experiencing out there. I appreciate it, real welcome.

1045
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:21.360
Thank you.

1046
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:28.880
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

1047
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:32.079
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

1048
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:35.039
would love to get out in those woods and experience

1049
01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:39.559
it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can.

1050
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:43.199
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

1051
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:48.159
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

1052
01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:51.840
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

1053
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:56.039
even better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll

1054
01:02:56.039 --> 01:02:58.760
be one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll

1055
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:04.280
probably I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't

1056
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:10.519
heard anywhere else, because let's just say, sometimes it's well,

1057
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:12.599
you just got to be there. We'll leave it that

1058
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:15.400
more about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now

01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:20.639

sign up for a track deep in the wild forest

1063
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:41.159
outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot Spots

1064
01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:45.119

1067
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:55.159

1076
01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:35.119
you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can

1077
01:04:35.159 --> 01:04:37.440
talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so

1078
01:04:37.559 --> 01:04:41.119
many people last year and the year before. It is

1079
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:44.079
an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

1080
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:48.840
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

1081
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:51.480
I want to say something directly to a very specific

1082
01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:55.000
group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch

1083
01:04:55.320 --> 01:04:58.000
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

1084
01:04:58.039 --> 01:05:01.360
can explain, or if you're in that park ranger, a

1085
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:04.760
forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if

1086
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:08.360
you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

1087
01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:11.519
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency or

1088
01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:15.119
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

1089
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:18.159
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

1090
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:21.800
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

1091
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:24.960
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

1092
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:28.840
on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government

1093
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:32.519
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

1094
01:05:32.559 --> 01:05:36.199
a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

1095
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:39.760
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

1096
01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:43.519
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

1097
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:46.800
or someone on a spiritual retreat, and you saw something

1098
01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:50.639
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA,

1099
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:54.199
NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the

1100
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:58.880
public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even

1101
01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:03.960
if it's anonymous. You can reach me at Bigfoot Society

1102
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:07.079
at gmail dot com. The world needs to hear what

1103
01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:11.000
you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.

1104
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:16.960
You've got the story, We've got the mic. See you

1105
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:19.480
in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode

1106
01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:22.760
of the Bigfoot Society podcast. Every encounter we share reminds

1107
01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:25.320
us that the world is bigger and stranger than we think,

1108
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:28.280
and that the truth is often hiding just beyond the

1109
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:31.559
tree line. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure
